It’s not always a clear sky ....

 Assalamualaykum

There are days where the sky is bright, the feelings were great. But there are days where the sky is cloudy and the feelings are gloomy.

I seldom read messages from the former school mate. Not that I don’t like to read them, but there are too many messages to read and take action upon. Work is now all through the messages. Groups are mushrooming with more task to be completed. This is the new working norm that is here to stay. Something that was once very alien are now become very accustomed to. For example, online classes, online meetings etc.

This afternoon, I make through into the group when I see a sudden increased in postings. A husband to our friend, is currently very sick. I made an effort to call the friend to ask of her being and her husband’s condition. Once a healthy man, is now down with multiple sickness. May Allah grant him recovery and patience to my dear friend in facing this crisis. In Allah we put our trust. 

To Noryani, Allah knows what is best and is giving you the best.

Me myself, today is a very tiring day. There are days when you are so energetic and strong. But there are days when you are at your lowest energy level. And today is my day. I was very tired for no reason. Perhaps age factor is taking its toll. Earlier I planned to cook for dinner, but had to cancel and opted for ordering the food. However, after Isyak I pushed my self into prepping for tomorrow’s meal. This is to ensure that the same thing will not crop up again.

Similar to this is our iman (faith). There are days when we are at the highest level, but there are days when we were weaken. And we need to push ourself and not to let the heart follows or go astray. There’s a doa that was taught so that we stay in iman. 




Jannah is too beautiful, and it requires some effort to be in there.

So, let’s always refresh our iman.

Asrama K.Ngah at MITST Alam Impian

Assalamualaikum. Asrama? Biasalah. Ramai yang pergi asrama. Nothing exciting about asrama. When I was a child, I used to read the story books. Series of them. We have the Famous Five, Secret Seven, Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, and one of my favorite is the Malory Towers. Malory Towers tells a story about life in a boarding school. It is also a reason for me wanted to go to a hostel. It motivates me. I always thought that all hostels are as envisioned by the writer. Luxury place to stay with lots of friends around. Full of activities and adventure. But...well.... story books are mostly fictitious. It was written to draw readers into purchasing it. My hostel was far worst that what I imagined. But there is where I grew up - my teenage life. Sending K.Ngah aka. Sabrina to her hostel last Sunday, brought back the Malory Towers into me. The dorm was luxurios. Single bedded. Six in a room. Large closet. Plenty of storage space (drawers attached to the bottom of the bed). And a study

Antara Anyer dan Jakarta

"Antara Anyer dan Jakarta" was a title of a song sang by Sheila Majid back in 80s. I tried to find the meaning of "Anyer" using the Google translate but to no avail. What about the song? Nothing. It's just because I just came back from Jakarta for a conference trip cum SHOPPING trip. I was accompanied by Suzana Ahmad and Norizan. Day 1: ====== Our journey began on 12th December. At approximately 5am, the driver reached my house. Izan is already there, in a short while Suzana arrived. We headed to KLIA. The check-in was a winding queue. After checking-in it leaves us with barely enough time for fajr prayer. At 9am, the tree stooges sat foot on the Indonesia land. We make a quick visit to the money changer and proceed for a cab. We have planned for the trip carefully and agreed to travel light as we will not be checking-in to the hotel upon arrival as the checking in time is only at 3pm. Instead, we headed towards our first destination, TANAH ABANG. It is r

Doa ketika ternampak orang sakit dan mohon terhindar darinya.

Assalamualaikum, Ahad malam Isnin. Malam yang sedih sayu. Biasanya hari Ahad, adalah hari ziarah anak-anak atau hari menghantar anak-anak balik ke asrama. Upon doing that, when entering the home, I can feel the emptiness. The quiet house, no greetings, no laughters. And due to that, I will make my way to the surau, to gather bits of pearl of knowledge. "O Allah, forgive me if the reason for my being in Your masjid is wrong Forgive me, Ya Allah. But truthfully, its too quiet at home, and to me, being in the masjid is more meaningful rather than locked in the empty house alone. Forgive me Ya Allah." And tonight, it was Ustaz Firdaus. Sharing on Feqah. And one thing that I really think fruitful to share is this piece of doa.  ‘Alhamdulillah hillazi aafani mim mabtalaka bihi wa fadhalaani ala kaseerim mimman khalaqa tafdheela.” The Prophet said: “If somebody recites this dua while he saw someone else in some fatigue or tensions, he would not be involved in t
