live life as thou you are a traveler

ever thought why the Prophet said this?

...

Monday 3.30pm - travelled to Johor to visit a relative who just passed away. on the way stopped by Kuantan at 6.00pm to pickup Amin. then Bangi at 10.00pm to drop my wife at her parents and continued all the way to Batu Pahat. reached destination by 2.00am

Tuesday 10.00am - visited the grave of our late Pak Ndak in Seri Gading. then off to Bangi. picked up bibik at the Hospital, went to my in laws', washed and went back to the Hospital to take care of atok. spent the night in the hospital till 1.00pm the next day.

Wednesday 9.00pm - off to Paka. had to work on Thursday. Alhamdulillah, accompanied by Muaz. Managed to shop for presents and celebrate 2 birthdays during the day; Ummi's and Abah Jamal's which falls on the same date 26th Oct. reached home by 4.00am due to the heavy rain and a loooong nap at R&R Temerloh.

Thursday 8.00am - Work. all day. and did some laundry during the night :)

Friday 1.00pm - Friday prayers off course. then took muaz for some ikan pari bakar lunch and showed him the haunted Paka 7 Eleven..doesn't look that scary during the day though. then off to Bangi. reached my in laws' by 8.00pm. slept till 2.00am

Saturday 9.00pm - had asam pedas dinner with ummi and abi at home. then watched the first 10 minutes of Piala Malaysia's final match before fetching my cousin who's been taking care of atok since the afternoon, sent her back to Putrajaya. now as i'm writing this, i'm back on shift at the hospital...

Sunday..i'll asume it's gonna be as hectic as the days before. plus i've got a 5 days auditor course in PD this Monday

....

seems that in life, there isn't quite a term such as "settling down". because there is always things to do, things to rush to.

you get what i mean right?

i'm gonna end it here, getting tired typing with the Playbook actually.

so, are you a traveler?

Aaaa abang. Saya dari Dominos Pizza nak buat promosi sebab kami...
Awak ni darjah berapa?
Ingat ni rumah mak ko yang punya!?
Maaf bang. Tapi ni promosi sebab kami bukak kedai dekat seksyen 9..
Kepala hotak ko aku tanya pasal promosi ko! Tu budak yang tekan loceng rumah aku macam orang gila tu apsal!?
Maaf bang..ni kami nak promosi pizza. Boleh call untuk penghantaran terus ke..
Baguslah! Aku boleh call boss korang bagitau biadapnya korang!

Senyap.

Aku renung tajam. Mereka pun renung tajam.

Mereka belah.

Aa baguslah. Nak tekan lagi tak loceng rumah ni? Percuma je! Takpun main loceng rumah sebelah!

Mereka duduk bawah pokok kat hujung rumah. Berehat.

Aku perhatikan dari grill pintu.

10 minit keadaan kekal seperti itu.

Dialog diatas adalah daripada kejadian sebenar tengah hari tadi di Bangi.

Aku pasti ada cara yang lebih baik untuk memberikan teguran. Sabar itu taqwa. Menahan amarah itu taqwa. Memaafkan itu taqwa.

Berhikmahlah terhadap manusia. Sesungguhnya mereka perlukan bimbingan dan kasih sayang..

Testing

Salam semua. Apa khabar agaknya kita semua di penghujung Syawal?

Posting kali ini nak test Blogger punya iphone app. Hmmm, so far ok kot. No features untuk tukar font or colours bytheway. Too bad i suppose. You probably can't get everything you wish for.

Test gambar satu

AKHIRNYA, AKU MEMBACA..

Just for the note, this is an iplog entry - iphone blogging :)

Hari ini 11 September 2011. Tarikh keramat buat Amerika dan sekutunya, bahkan seluruh dunia.

Hari ini juga 13 Syawal 1432H.

Ada apa dengan 13 Syawal? Hari ini akhirnya aku kembali membaca. Iya, kembali membaca Al-Quran selepas tabiat baik itu terhenti secara automatic menjelangnya Raya. Astaghfirullah, dekat 2 minggu kau tak mengaji Qayyim!?

Ma'thurat aku baca apa..kira mengajilah tu..

Tak cukup tu broQ. Orang marhain pun dapat baca Yaasin seminggu sekali, kau tinggal langsung 'tak dok skepeng bace mende' hampir 2 minggu.

...

Itulah jadinya bila kita memperhambakan diri kepada Ramadhan. Jadinya kita hamba yang soleh hanya ketika bulan itu sahaja. Solatnya cukup 5 waktu berjamaah di musolla dan masjid2. Siap awal waktu lagi. Mulutnya tak henti dengan zikrullah setiap masa. Setiap masa terluang dihabiskan dengan tilawah Al-Quran. Jalannya tunduk untuk menjaga mata, nak kurangkan melihat aurat2 wanita yang selamba sengaja dibiarkan untuk tontonan umum (info: berdasarkan pengamatan aku semasa di UNITEN, biasanya para hawa lebih ramai bertudung ketika Ramadhan..walaupun bajunya masih sarung buah nangka). Qiamnya awal, kalautidakpun 2 rakaat sebelum sahur atau masuknya subuh. Itu manusia (baca: Mohd Qayyim) ketika Ramadhan.

Dan biasanya selang beberapa hari nak menjengahnya syawal, amal solehpun mula berkurang kuantitinya dan menurun lagi kualitinya. Akhirnya menjelang syawal...kosong.

Istiqamah itu susah.

Hanya mampu dilaksanakan oleh mereka yang benar2 memperhambakan dirinya kepada Allah. Bukan Ramadhan.

Aku sering ingatkan manusia (baca: rakan usrah) untuk sentiasa melazimi Al-Quran. Jangan ada sehari yang kita lalui tidak membacanya. Tapi bila Syawal, aku memang gagal. Gagal melaksanakan apa yang aku serukan pada orang lain.

Aku ada 3 mushaf. Satu yang ada terjemahannya, aku jadikan untuk tilawah dan tadabbur. Boleh lihat mushaf ini bersama aku dalam program, usrah dan ketika aku bermusafir. Yang kedua aku jadikan untuk hafadzan. Mushaf ini kecik, boleh muat dalam kocek baju, menjadikannya senang untuk dibawa dan dibaca ketika masa terluang dimana2 untuk menghafal. Mushaf ketiga..my iphoney. Yang ini lagilah aku bawa ke mana2.

Oleh kerana adanya mushaf Al-Quran dalam iphone, aku sudah jarang membuka mushaf nombor satu kecuali di program2 dan usrah. Malahan, Ramadhan yang lepas aku khatamkan tadarus (ada beza tak tilawah & tadarus? Tolong clarifykan wahai ilmuan) dengan perisian tersebut.

Mushaf ketiga sudah lama aku tak buka. Sebab aku ni manusia yang sangatlah malas susah menghafal. Siapa ada tips mudah menghafal dan mengingat? Antara yang pernah aku dengar:
1. Baca surah tu sampai 60 kali (atau sebanyak mungkin) - pernah amalkan. Dan berkesan. Tips naqib aku, Hj Nawawi.
2. Hafal bermula daripada ayat terakhir - pernah cuba. Tapi akhirnya aku keliru. Mungkin IQ tak cukup tinggi.
3. Lazimkan dalam bacaan solat dan qiam - pernah amalkan. Nak kena hidupkan semula amalan ni.
4. Menghafal sebelum tido dan sejurus selepas bangun/waktu pagi - pernah amalkan. Tapi la ni, tersangatkan kesuntukan masa. Lebih2 lagi bila dah develope (baca: suka) tabiat tido selepas subuh.
5. Amalkan kurma, kismis dan madu - selera kurma cuma waktu Ramadhan sahaja. Nak kena pau abi (Dr. Hafidzi) punya madu tualang lagi ni nampak gayanya.

In a nut shell (seperti report fluid lab En Farhan Daud), kita kena istiqamah. Mana yang dah tertinggal amalan membaca Quran, jom pergiatkan kembali.

Tamat.

...

Dah habis baca entry iplog aku? Jangan lupa kongsikan tips2 menghafal korang ya..

P/s: perasan tak kelainan dalam entry kali ini? Inspirasi dari blog keyrana cool, anak mat nor & perempuan jomblo (mohon search di google. Aku tak ingat adress penuh mereka). Ini bukan meniru gaya orang, tapi lebih kepada meng'exsperimenting' genre blogging baru.

Procrastination Will Cost Dearly

True enough. i've been searching on the net for used cars and have finally set my eyes on this particular 'car'. that was 5 weeks back.

then this morning, i called the dealer only to find out that the 'car' was already sold. yesterday! what? you gotta be kidding me.

my plan for today was actually call the dealer by 8.00am, set a meet up, head to the yard. and if the deal is good, then we'd be shaking hands and i'd be driving home in a 'new' car. haha..that easy!? but unfortunately, i'd to spend the whole morning online searching for 2nd hand car dealers again. and till now, i've yet to find a good offer. probably gamble my way out to Sg Sikamat and scout out the 5 dealers there..hopefully there's more dealers than whats shown on googlemaps. hopefully.

so what have we learned today?

procrastination has a price. and it's not cheap.

it may not be in terms of money. in my case, it's time. and time is life.

i may not get a better offer than the one i've lost, but there's still a chance i'de get an offer slightly similar. but for the time i had to spend re-searching. it's priceless. i can never get the time back.

time. it's the furthest thing in life. you'll never for ever get it back.

thus spend it wisely. by that i mean, don't procrastinate. it will cost your life!

so whats now?

workout. jumaah prayer. off to onestopprinting. then off we go scouting.

btw, would manual 4WDs have better km/liter than autos as in the same thing for sedan cars? but now a days, people opt to buy autos than manuals. so whats the verdict? the tribe hasn't spoken yet..not till i find a good offer :)

Everything Doesn't Seems Right

ever had that feeling?

ever felt so depressed that you start to wish everything could of been better IF..

well, honestly, i'm in that situation. where everything seems very hard to accept. the situation, the surroundings, the people around me..has life come to a point that everything has to be accepted as it is?

has life became that dull or perhaps i've made life that dull to live in

life is a matter of choices and our perception towards it. need facts?

choices:

فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا
91:8 "Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it"

وَأَنَّ هَـذَا صِرَاطِي مُسْتَقِيماً فَاتَّبِعُوهُ وَلاَ تَتَّبِعُواْ السُّبُلَ فَتَفَرَّقَ بِكُمْ عَن سَبِيلِهِ ذَلِكُمْ وَصَّاكُم بِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ
6:153 "And (know) that this is My path, the right one therefore follow it, and follow not (other) ways, for they will lead you away from His way; this He has enjoined you with that you may guard (against evil)."

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ اتَّقُواْ اللّهَ وَابْتَغُواْ إِلَيهِ الْوَسِيلَةَ وَجَاهِدُواْ فِي سَبِيلِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ
5:35 "O you who believe! be careful of (your duty to) Allah and seek means of nearness to Him and strive hard in His way that you may be successful."

supposedly what ever path we take, there is always a better side of things. we choose either to accept and be happy or endure and feel the pain.

you can't always change things to the ways you want them to be, but you could always change yourself to accept how/what things are. and bring the best out of it.

life in Terengganu is tough. but i suppose other people are living a harder life than i am.

well, here goes: SAYANG DOK SIKEK, HEBAK DOK DDEGIH!

i'll try to smile every day here from now onwards..
