Semua Untuk Cinta



Just want to share this music video of Mike Mohede entitled "Semua untuk Cinta" with all of you. I dont know, looking at this video reminds me of the past which made me want to post this video up. Well, even the storyline of the video clip is almost, almost the same like my story. The singer, look at him, any resemblance with me, hehehehehe. That's life, there are times when u are so sure of the things u want in life but it ends up not the way u want it to be. Afterall, as humans and humble servant of God, we can only plan, its Him who decides. Count ur blessings, not ur worries.


Semua Untuk Cinta


Dalam lelah kuberharap
Datangnya sebuah keajaiban
Walau berat kurasakan
Namun kulakukan semua untuk cinta

Bila sampai di malam ini
Aku masih bertahan
Ini semua ku persembahkan untukmu

Bila kini aku bahagia
Bukan hanya untukku
Di sini kita pernah menangis bersama

Semoga cinta selalu ada
Dalam hati kita

Dalam lelah kuberharap
Datangnya sebuah keajaiban
Walau berat kurasakan
Namun kulakukan semua untuk cinta

Bila sampai di malam ini
Aku masih bertahan
Ini semua ku persembahkan untukmu

Selama cinta itu
Ada di sisi kita selamanya

Life is a Gift

Today
before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who can't speak.

Before
you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone
who has nothing to eat.

Before
you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone
who's crying out to GOD for a companion.

Today
before you complain about life - Think of someone who died
too early on this earth.

Before
you complain about your children - Think of someone who
desires children but they're barren...

Before
you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or
sweep - Think of the people who are living in the streets.

Before
whining about the distance you drive Think of someone who
walks the same distance with their feet.

And when
you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the
unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your
job..

But
before you think of pointing the finger or condemning
another - Remember that not one of us is without sin.

And when
depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on
your face and think: you're alive and still
around.

Gurindam Jiwa

My all time favourite nostalgic song!

Gurindam Jiwa

Tuai padi antara masak
Esok jangan layu-layuan
Intai kami antara nampak
Esok jangan rindu-rinduan

Anak cina pasang lukah
Lukah dipasang di Tanjung Jati
Di dalam hati tidak ku lupa
Sebagai rambut bersimpul mati

Batang selasih permainan budak
Daun selasih dimakan kuda
Bercerai kasih talak tiada
Seribu tahun kembali juga

Burung merpati terbang seribu
Hinggap seekor di tengah laman
Hendak mati di hujung kuku
Hendak berkubur di tapak tangan

Kalau tuan mudik ke hulu
Carikan saya bunga kemboja
Kalau tuan mati dahulu
Nantikan saya di pintu syurga

Muslim Thinkers Street Survey

Assalamualaikum to all friends, brothers and sisters. Alhamdulillah, Muslim Thinkers department of En-Naeem Mosque had came out with a street survey video that received lots and lots of positive feedbacks through Facebook, Vimeo and emails. It was totally unplanned. Ustaz Noor, Ustaz Hanafi and me were brainstorming and coming out with new ideas to promote Muslim Thinkers to the public. So, the street survey idea came out and we thought of doing it by capturing videos as we interview the members of the public. Alhamdulillah, then again we did not expect that its gonna be a mini production untilll............ Our Bro Ilyas, show his video-editing skills and made the video a must see for everyone. So, sit still, keep your handphones on silent, and just enjoy the show.

Dinner @ Sakura With the Couple

Noor and me sat down one day and decided to give Hanafi and Farizan a treat. Why not..... Just a treat for our newlyweds. So we invited Ilyas, Kak Zu and Zuwainah along to join us, the more the merrier isnt it... It was thursday night, Ilyas, Kak Zu, Noor and Zuwainah head down to Pasir Ris downtown east in my car while Hanafi went home to fetch his wife and will meet us there. It was very convenient for us, the restaurant had a prayer room! and we performed our maghrib prayers there. Subhanallah, May Allah bless that restaurant for sparing some thoughts for their Muslim customers. Except for a person like me, i might consider bringing a towel along if i ever going to pray in that room again. No offence, its just me!

We chatted and laugh all night when we realise that the restaurant started to clean up and ready to close then we make our move. hehehe. I really hope that we could have this kind of mini-gathering often, and to get to know each other much better. Well now at least, Farizan get to know who's her husband's collegues are. :)

YDO Wedding Ceremony

Kpak kpak bing bing! Yeah there it is the sound of kompang as they accompany the bride and bridegroom. Who? its En-Naeem Mosque YDO, Ustaz Hanafi...... When? just last sunday, 5th July. All of us, the staff, youth, azam mentors and the management had attended the wedding ceremony held at Bedok. Alhamdulillah everyone came and made the ceremony more merrier and meaningful for the newly wedding couple. Hanafi and Farizan, my best wishes for both of you. Hmmmm, seeing him.... make me......... hmmm. Bila Kot?

Science Centre Excursion

Last two weeks, hmmmm, cant really remember which date, Azam mentors and students went for an excursion to the Science Centre. I asked Ustaz Noor along and we had fun learning and discovering new knowledge at the science centre. The students had fun too trying out the experiments and exhibits. We headed back to the mosque around 330pm, perform our Zuhur, then the students had some quizzes, Asar then lunch. The its home sweet home for the students. hehehe but not for the mentors, we went for bowling. :)

Aku & Dia Camp

Aku & Dia Camp
Committee and Fascillitator

Gosh! Goodness! This camp was organised 1 month ago, and its only now that i've managed to update my blogpage about it. Aku & Dia camp was initiated by MHDS youth and was supported by En-Naeem Mosque and its youth wing. Despite the late publicity, astonishingly, we managed to pull in an applaudable number of participants to join this camp...... 53 participants, 13 fascillitator and 14 committee members, a total of 80!!!!!!
Alhamdulillah, this camp collaboration between this two organisations went well. Indeed the success of this camp comes along with lots of teamwork, coordination and organising, but in the end what we get out of this, is something, to me, is second to none... what is it? the bond, the strong pact/ties that we've created, the tears and laughter that we had together and lastly the wonderful memories that we had engraved deep in our hearts that we'll bring along as we continue our journey in this life after the camp. I'm sure, this will not be the last time, we will return, with yet another super-dooper, fun, knowledge seeking and loving camp!

Getting ready for action

Fataa Zahra Fascis and Participants

THE BEST SHOT

Guys Camp Participants

Anyone that sees the pictures above might think that this camp is all about fun, fun nothing else but fun. Well you see, thats the problem with us humans, we look at things literally from what we see, its appearance, its physical form, its external features and dont bother to find out more. There's always two sides to a coin, but still we dont realise that all of this while we always, ALWAYS! look at things from just one side of the story. This act as a reminder for me first, then you all out there. God create things in pairs, good and bad, male and female, night and day, up and down, skies and earth, fire and water...... so dont just judge a book by its cover.

Apart from just games and laughters, there are a lot of other spiritual and character building activities that we went thru in this camp. We had Qiyammulail, motivational talk, usrahs, tazkirahs, zikr and video presentations. All i have to say, this camp is balanced, we've met our objectives and for sure, i believe that the participants have learnt a lot from us and this camp as much as we've learnt from them.

"It is a beauty of guidance that Allah has bestowed upon us, so that we learnt from each other and be better Muslims as we continue our journey towards the blessed path. May Allah guide us all."
