the thunder.





I find this reminder to be very useful. steal it from a friend's post in Facebook. May Allah's blessings always be with her for sharing this. 

do whatever you want with this. print it and paste it to your wall. set it as your desktop wallpaper. put it as your smartphone's wallpaper. make it as your tafsir's bookmark.
InsyaAllah, with good intentions. 


if you are depressed:

Quran 13:28
< Surah 13, Surah Ar-Ra'd, verse 28>
'
الَّذينَ ءامَنوا وَتَطمَئِنُّ قُلوبُهُم بِذِكرِ اللَّهِ ۗ أَلا بِذِكرِ اللَّهِ تَطمَئِنُّ 
القُلوبُ ﴿٢٨


''Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah . Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured."

p/s: I got a week long holiday for this coming Raya Haji. Alhamdulillah.

50/50



So the other day I watched 50/50, a 2011 movie starring my Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogen, Anna Kendrick, Bryce Dallas Howard, Anjelica Huston and many more. 


It is an honest, good light-hearted movie with sprinkling of humor everywhere supplied wonderfully by the main characters, Adam (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and his bff Kyle(Seth Rogen) who is obsessed of getting laid. 
Seth Rogen is very good here, playing Kyle with expressive-aggressive type of friend to Adam but beneath it all, all he wanted to do was to be there for Adam. such relationship between friends is beautiful.


This movie is based on a true story of it's very own writer and I'm such a sucker for true story turns to films. Definitely this movie has been on my radar since I watched the trailers. 


The main theme of the story is how a young man, aged 27 who discovered that he had a rare type of spinal cancer and what follows is how he rebounds and discovers what is the important things in his life that he never pays any attention to before. 
It's poignant at certain times, made you think of what could be and made you think that every little things you do does affect other people. 
Even a simple hi or hello and small little talks with your parents or your loved ones could make a difference. 


Joseph Gordon-Levitt once again effortlessly nailed his character, where he displayed such a range of emotions of Adam. 
When he hurts, you feel it and cry with him. 
When he smiles, you smile back at him(read: at the laptop's screen). 
He earnestly embodies the character of Adam, it's like there is Adam in your world and you wished you know him to help him get through of this together. 
In much simpler words, honesty. Yes, the honesty that he brings to the performance is much deserving of a high praise. 


The rest of the cast also did well and delivered. 
Overall, such a good movie and one to be re watched multiple time, anytime soon. 


A conversation between Adam and Katherine;


Adam: I wished you were my girlfriend.
Katherine: Girlfriends can be nice, you just had a bad one.
Adam: I bet you'd be a good one


Ain't that sweet?

of reality and fascination.


while typing this away, I'm currently listening to Big Bang's newest album, Alive.

and in my honest opinion, we K-pop fans know how to actually have fun.
well, why you ask?
because we know how to move our body and bob our head along with the music and songs that we only know maybe 10 % of the meaning.
and that's where Google and YouTube plays a very important role for K-pop fans. in fact, YouTube has dedicated a K-pop channel for the YouTube user.

and I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm one of the fans.
but, I also take a million miles stand away from the so-called die hard fans who jump on people who dislike K-pop.
i'm well aware of people who do not bother to listen to anything Korean or watch anything Korean. that's their prerogative. and i respect that.
keep calm and listen to Big Bang.

i wish you enough

Taken from Paulo Coelho's blog.
very beautiful and inspiring.


Recently I overheard a father and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. They had announced the departure.
Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the father said, ‘I love you, and I wish you enough.’

They kissed and the daughter left. The father walked over to the window where I was seated. I tried not to intrude on his privacy, but I could not refrain from asking:
‘When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, ‘I wish you enough.’ May I ask what that means?’

He began to smile. ‘That’s a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone.’
He paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail, and he smiled even more.
‘When we said, ‘I wish you enough,’ we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them.’
Then turning toward me, he shared the following as if he were reciting it from memory


I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear.

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more..

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.

I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting…
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good- bye.






so starting tomorrow, I'll greet people with the exact same words. can i?

kawan?

kawan..
semenjak 2 menjak ni aku rasa mcm dah hilang kawan dah..


kat tadika an-nur start la aku tau ape makna kawan ni.
duk makan mi goreng ngan kawan2..
main kat playground ngan kawan tadika..seronok.

pastu masa sek rendah, hidup dikelilingi ramai sgt kawan.
sekolah rendah ade 2..satu kat kerteh, satu kat subang..
zaman sekolah rendah aku paling best sbab paling cemerlang kot.haha.
dajah 2 aku slalu no 2 ,blakang besfren aku..skali je aku dpt pintas dia..
farihah name dya..hm, misti skang da jadi insan berjaya dah..rindu plak rase..
mase dajah 4 plak aku slalu dpt no 1..sepanjang taun.
pastu dajah lima aku naik kelas..kelas no 1.. 5mutiara
dajah 6 pon mutiara gak..mase ni kwn ngan dak2 terer r..
tak dpt la no 1 dah.. tapi oke laa..top10 gak laa.

pastu zaman skola menengah..dpt offer mrsm jeli.tak pegi.
dpt gak interview kolej yayasan saad tapi tak pergi dek kerana hasutan member aku..
dya kata skola tu sosial gle..haha.. aku pon percaye..keke
tapi masa sek menengah ni mmg lagi best. ade geng sendiri..
pegi skolah bkan nk blaja sgt pon tapi nak jumpe membe.
nak gosip.haha. ingat lagi time Meteor Garden tgh tayang kat tivi.
sikit punye excited nak dtg skolah esoknya nk share cte..spazzing as what we call back then.
pastu cte winter sonata, autumn, succesful story of a bright girl. tak dilupakan rosalinda juge.tingat cikgu geog aku yg sgt menggemari cte tu smp kami dbenarkan balik awl mase finale.haha
cte pasal linkin park la..rase sgt cool time tu.. cte psal b-boy la, skateboarding la.. mase tu takde lg shuffle2 nie..
main nyorok2 ngan dak laki..cam bingung je.main basketball time break.
kdg2 stayback sbab nk maen...pastu lg satu..mase f3 bwk henpon g skola..
bangga gle bcos aku antara pioneer..haha.time kaseh abah.
ni masa sek rantau laa..

pastu start f4 aku wat prangai sket, slalu tak dtg skola..tah ape masalah ntah.masalh jiwa..
pastu markah math mod aku teruk. ngat lagik cikgu math tu compare markah aku ngan budak kelas ranking ke-3.. sedih gak r..tapi wat2 takde efek..
pastu tak lame tu dpt tawaran p boarding school.mrsm. kat besut.
aku pon pikir, mayb ni Allah nk bg pluang suh berubah kot.
aku pon pegi laa..mase tu dah tengah taun gak kot..

life kat mrsm ni okay sebenarnye..
aku menyesal gak la sebenarnye sbab tak gune pluang ni seelok2 nye.
hanyut gile.
kwn2 aku majoriti p oversea after spm..
kalo tak pon dpt msk uni yg gempak..
segelintir golongan cam aku je tercampak matrix 2 taun.
aku tak kate matrix 2 taun tak bagos.. cume kalo tgk pluang yg aku dpt tu mmg aku da sia2kan sgt laa.. the biggest regret gak laaaa.

tapi kat mrsm ni la aku jumpa kwn aku yg terbaik la..
smp skang stil contact lg..
tapi skang ni cm kurang sket, mayb bz kot...(you know who you're)

berbalik kpd tujuan asal..aku nk ckp pasal problem aku bile berkawan sebenrnye..
aku rasa aku ni tak setia la..suka larikan diri n cpt bosan..
aku ada 4 kes yg aku kwn ngan kwn aku ni memang rapat tahap gile gaban pastu dlm beberapa bln pastu aku misti wat masalh....

kes 1: aku tulis surat kat membe aku ckp aku tanak rapat ngan dya dah.aku rimas. sbab dya ni jenis suke menepek.. (ni mase darjah 5)

kes 2: aku tulis surat jugak kat membe aku ckp aku tanak kwn jugak n a few problems lg la.. tapi yg ni plg sedih bcos membe aku ni ckp aku ni kasar n krg ajar. ( ni mase f4)

kes 3: aku ignore member aku ni yg penah tido sebantal, mkn sepinggan ngan aku bcos aku rase ade member dya yg jelez aku rapat gele ngan dya.. membe ni siap bg chocolate kat aku n tanye nape aku jadi camtu ..huuhu.. aku terharu, tapi tak leh nak watpe la kan.. (ni mase f5)

kes 4: aku tatau cmne ktorang leh jadi tak berckp antara satu sama lain. aku tataw ape masalhnye so, aku tulis surat lagi..tanye knape..letak kat kasot dya.. then dya kata aku yg tak layan dya..aku wat bodo kalo dya dtg bilik.. riak muke aku berubah kalo nampak dya..
aku tatau la..maybe aku problem kot.. (ni mase matrix)

kesimpulannya, aku rasa sbab aku byk sakitkan hati membe2 aku, sbab tu la skang ni aku takde kawan .. bile membe ajak kua aku bagi alasan(ni membe mase skola rantau).. sebenarnye to b honest, aku segan ngan dorang..aku rase mcm tak layak je nk kwn ngan dorang lg..
dorang sume cm berjaye gle...aku je mcm ni lagi..
mayb one day, tgk la..aku still sayang lagi kat dorang..kdg2 tgk pic reunion ke ape ke..
terguris jugak la..tapi bkan salah dorang..aku sendri wat pilihan nk asingkan diri.. stupid me.

kadang2 aku jeles kat kak aku yg second bcos dya sgt la setia kalo berkwn..mmg respek laa.. kat abg aku pon.kak aku yg sulung pon..
nta la..
aku ni mmg problematique kot..
hm..
sbab tu la aku selesa sorang2 je kot..

tapi walaumacamanepon, aku tetap hargai sume kwn2 aku..
dari tadika smp la kat uni nie...
walau tak nampak tapi dlm hati ni ade la tpt korang..
hati aku byk lagi ruang..jgn risau..

mayb one day i'll find my own greatest FRIEND.
mayb he/she stuck in the traffic jam,
mayb he/she LOST his'her way,
he/she just a lil bit LATE to find me..
I'm waiting with arms wide open.
