And so it was really his time...

To go...


I guess some of u have already gotten the news of my dad's passing away...


I would like to extend my sincerest Thank You to those who have come by to my place, who have helped pray for his soul and also for the sms/calls of support for me.


Sudden n yet calm,


Lookin at his serene face in his ihram & sarban, the no. of people prayin for him and how six of his friends carryin him in their white jubahs, everything about his funeral was peaceful and serene, and somehow soothin to my heart.Juz like as if, he was goin to Haj/Umrah in Mecca. A beautiful farewell...probably, when he wakes up next, he will meet his Maker.


There goes, the man who brought me up in my life, whose mission in life was probably to SERVE. Servin God and the Community.may all his deeds be blessed by God.


I LOVE U and am SO VERY PROUD of U, Abah.

I guess..my question...has been answered....

Underlyin Benefits of the Daily Solat (Islamic Prayer)

http://sufi786786.multiply.com/links/item/66
Explained by Dr Zakir Naik

Personally, the splashing of water for Wudhu' (ablution) to the different parts of the body already refreshes me if i'm feelin all tired and lethargic and i do feel rejuvenated, with a certain peace of mind after Solat (prayer). If u call that a way to increase productivity, ah yes, it definitely works for me...it only takes 5-10 minutes each time!

Subhanallah :)

Lookin back...

It was almost 3 years ago...


I wonder where i found the inspiration or courage to express it all to her (encourage her even!).


Yet i could not explain it to the lover


I Love U with All my Heart...


WHY?


I guess u found the answer.


"Through our joy, through our pain,
We can move worlds again
Take my hand, dance the dance with me

I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I will want nothing else to see me through
If I can spend my lifetime loving you"


May God guide the way, like He did then, hopefully now and in future...

His Awkward Questions...

Mid April is here, and soon May will come rushin in, and that will be the month of fresh changes for me. New career move and end of report writing, which marks an unofficial "graduation" for me, granted that I make it through for Organic Chemistry. Dee and I are both prayin hard that we will go through the Convocation this July together with Hafi & Liza.

I'm kinda excited but at the same time, wonderin if these changes will transit through smoothly. One thing for sure is, I now cannot always be there to be with bf durin his off days, I dunno if we can adjust back well, but i guess sacrifices are inevitable...sorry mesye if u have to spend more time with ur computer instead in future! Well, my happy-go-lucky prancin about has to make way for more serious endevours in my Life. With studies gettin out of my sight, i got a feelin that new goals/directions have to be drawn to keep me from becomin disoriented. 

A couple of days ago, my dad beckoned me to be by his side. He gave me a lil squeeze, and asked "When r u gonna start workin?" so i replied him i would be doin so next month. Told him abit about the job and location and he asked "So u r not gonna further ur studies?" I was kinda surprised by that question. My reply was "U want me to? Well i can...i'd have to be in Aussieland for a year, to complete my Master's. U want me to?" Then he replied, "If u keep studyin then when r u gonna work?" I looked at him lookin even more perplexed than previously. "Well, for now i guess I'll work first, maybe in future I might continue some more" before i scoot off to my room. I have a certain suspicion that there was an underlyin message that he wants to tell me when he asked such things. 

Does he wants to know my plans after my graduation or is he hintin that I'm already old, that I should be making money and supportin myself? 

Or is he tryin to hint that I should earn money n get married soon (the question which NEVER pops up btw)?? 

Or is it...his time is comin??? *shudder*

The third thought is scary but such a thought always haunts me. I hope it's not any time soon, for any of my parents or granny. I have not achieved enough yet to make them proud of me. In their eyes, I am always the lazy n always gallivantin person that I have always potrayed. They have not seen the more responsible side of me, and I wish I could show them that I am not that useless a daughter/granddaughter I have always been.

But for now, as a new beginnin is about to unfold, I guess I should prepare myself for the changes and I kinda gave it some thoughts already. Juz like how I have planned it through from workin full-time, jumpin on the degree and gettin myself back onto the career bandwagon. I shall fill my days to come by workin towards marriage, gettin myself more domesticated, seekin wisdom back with my Quran and keepin abreast with my dancin.

My life is about to begin, again. 

and i could only thank God for the wonderful turn of things...and hope that He will give me the strength, will & perseverance to take on this path that He has led me to.

I had an impromptu lesson of Modern Dance last Saturday, thanx to my colleague who was so bored prancin around as the demonstrator representin my dance company at an exhibition to promote dance/fitness activities for pri/sec schools to the teachers. It was madness.ok, actually i was the one goin mad. Gotta play around with emotions n levels..yeah one moment i was lookin poised and tall, another moment i was lyin around on the carpeted floor. NOT easy! Dang..it made me feel like i need to lose some of my glorious fats and big ass to be agile, flexible and really graceful. I'm too S-L-O-W n clumsy for it! hahah! Hats off to those who are really good at it, and yeah for tis week's Dancefloor episode, i think Soul Fusion aced it Big Time!! Their fluidity was perfect!

And since the last of Organic Chemistry report ends next Monday...i foresee that there'll be more time for me to be gettin my shimmy bug back after that! Wheeehoooo~

right now, i'm so lovin tis song...really nice to dance to...

The Bachelorettes@Pitch Black Cafe




Ahh finally the four of us found the time to hang out and catch up with one another. Had our meal at Ayam Penyet Ria and then trotted down to Haji Lane to chill at Kaki 5, only to discover that it was closed durin the day.

So ventured further down the lane. I shall nickname Haji Lane as Lorong Evo(lution), because despite its old facade and isolation from the city's bright lights or the middle eastern influence of the streets near it, Haji Lane always have somethin NEW! New local designer shops, new cafes...all mushroomin every few months, I'm always caught by surprise! I very much luv its nostalgic and quirky charms...From Kaki 5, to Lola and now, there's Pitch Black!

The four of us ended up at Pitch Black Cafe. It's a mini cinema, art gallery & cafe all rolled into one. Its second floor is decked with plush sofas with a big screen projector while its ground floor is a funky eatery. Fashionably kewl n cosy! Its objective is to serve as a complementary art venue and provide a platform for creative interaction & engagement. So all u creative creatures out there and those who are seekin a new lepak spot, do check out tis cafe!
