"Read in the name of your Lord who created, created man from a clot. Read, for your Lord is most Generous, Who teaches by means of the pen, teaches man what he does not know." [Al-Alaq 96: 1-5]

Beautiful ladies
I've been too occupied with works. My life is nothing but work. And I hate it to the fact that I let the norm culture of the working environment shaping my identity bit by bit. Am so baffled that I kinda think I've lost myself. I smile, but I couldn't worship myself into the happiness. Somewhere between my grey realization, I know that Ive putting myself into a position that stifling me a lot. Working life is so tiringg.
The whole g-mongers cycle is very dangerous. Its' not healthy to get so many persons involved in one freaking teeny issue. I shall learn on how to deal with it, or at least settle it down within my own territory and let it out of my radar silently, peacefully. Thats' how you define professionalism, right?
And of course, becoming a grown-up is meant to involve. Not to run away from the conflict caused or created by me. One thing keeps me on the right path is to always stick to the play fair rule. What important is that I can adapt to the environment but to remember to still remain true myself.

And on another note, I wonder how can a friend talk bad about their friend at the back. How can a friend be so freaking hypocrite with smiles and greetings to somebody they bitched behind? Of course, it is so wrong to bitch about anyone regardless of who they are. But it is a big cruella to bitch bout your own friends. Its' so cruel, its' pathetic and it sick me off.
Take care!
Take care!
Beautiful ladies with beautiful hearts

Lets see what tomorrow offers!
Woke up super early on Sunday morning, spoke to meself, you have to write today. Dont you have so many things in mind that is left unwritten? And it get blew, carried by the wind. So, write.
And when am about to write this,again, its' gone. Its' all gone. And yet, this is like my thousandth attempt try to put everything onto words. Then what to do?
Last resort, i tell meself that i'd rather not write anything than idiotically, childishly, pointlessly utter my mind out. So go silent. Err..
Haha to my goodself then, wasnt it a smart excuse? And very factual of course!
So lets just wait and see and cherish what tomorrow offers, shall we? :)

In a vision, or in none
Gosh it's been exactly a month since I'm able to do this. To write away, to put everything into words. Loads have
changed since earlier this year. Had loads on my
mind but maybe the time for them had passed. Maybe those colors will
come back. Maybe not. I tend not to care so much these days. It's the job you see. I hardly had breathing space. Work
takes up most of the weekdays (cant remember if I ever left the office
before 7.30pm but mostly it's after 8pm). Luckily, I do enjoy the work like VERY MUCH! I like
my boss (we have our moments tho) and I do enjoy working with my
colleagues so much so that I feel guilty for taking leave and I'd miss
the office when I'm away. :)
I have so many posts half written on notebooks. Never had the chance to finish them. All left hanging. About
so many things. Maybe about everything. Maybe later. Much later. Ah, and I do have loads in my reading list as well. Sometimes, as am moving on my career path, am afraid that am losing my grounds. But of course, everyone has got their own problem
and I'm just another person, going loco as time pass ;p
To be greeted by a whirlwind of change into a
new department is something that I look forward to. The new
portfolio I reckon is exactly the same as previous but the pace is much more manageable, or at least I try to make it manageable. When life give you lemon, make
lemon soda right? I am sure I'll figure out
how to add a more strategic value to the job, the sooner or the later.
Lets talk more about something beneficial for the others. I have my reason for staying more than eight hours at the office. At days, when I performed my Zuhur and Asar prayers, both consumed about one hour from the total hours given and paid for performing my job. A piece of wise advise from my Abah- " Try to broaden your scope, if your non-muslim friends are to perform their job in a total of eight hours, why us Muslim should use solat as an excuse to perform only seven hours of job? " Obligation as a Muslim comes to not only performing the Solat, but to not use Solat as an excuse and importantly to promote the virtue of Islam which is indeed a virtue of truthfulness.
At times, I felt a bit of guilty to bother my seniors when I know they are struggling on their own job yet still willing to spare me a bit of time to coach, assist and even listen to my so-called problem. But I am certain, the good deeds will come back to them in great proportions. Time is the most precious, inestimable gift for me. Sure, there will be many teachers in my career :)
Competency. This is debatable. In our desire to impress and show how good we are, we work harder and harder to show what we can do. Each time we impress, we raise expectations which force us to work super harder than ever. Cycle stops when, I wonder? My boss said, competency comes partly from doing and experiencing. The other part is attitude. If you are willing to learn and take every task as a learning opportunity, competency will surely come to you. And my father said it takes a lot of discipline to succeed. Always back to your nawaitu, start your day with a right niat.
How I wish I can just read about the current news without picking up the stupidity, without hearing the screams in my head. Without having fear rising up inside me when I see the leaders acting and making public statement with no responsibility at all. I read about power struggle, political control, greed, oppression. It’s the same story. It’s the same vicious cycle. And always that small of group of people, characterized and colored by all the shades of greed, making sure things stay that way. It’s nauseating.
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream

Loving ART
Pay attention to poetry. Pay attention to music. Pay attention to paintings and sculptures and photo exhibits and ballets and plays.
Why?
Because art is God's way of saying hello. Your world is shouting out to you, revealing something intrinsically glorious about itself. Listen carefully. Love art, the way art loves life. Don't let all this go unnoticed.

Until the dreams come true
I am tired yet still feel like putting down some thoughts before I go to bath. Yes. Finally. I am trying to blog. In fact, I had the urge to pour my thoughts in writing for quite some time. Its' overwhelming even to myself how I managed to continuously give excuse to myself not to write. I guess the busyness could serve as an excuse? :p
Today is a drop-dead tiring day. Super heavy tiring chores and finally dating with the girls. While driving back home, my parents popped in my mind. To my dismay, I still haven't contributed much or gave any big rewards to my parents as I am myself struggling to survive in this cruel world. I wanna give them the world if I can. I want to give them expensive holidays, super luxury cars, super luxury home, a closet of fancy clothes, designer handbags.. and the list goes on. I wanna be able to bring my family travel wherever they want without having to think how much money is going to be spent. I wanna be able to help the less fortunate lead a better life. I want many things and it all comes down to money.
Yes, people tell me that I should be grateful for what I have and stop dwelling on what others have. But there is this inner voice telling me that as much as I am grateful, I know I can give them what others have if I put my mind and my heart into it. So why tell myself this is all my life could offer?
It is never too late to be what you might have been. Goodnight. Dreaming and dreaming and until the dreams come true.

Its' not what you see, its' HOW you see :)
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom, for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue, and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces, of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, sayin', "How do you do?"
They're really sayin', "I love you"
I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more, than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
I see them bloom, for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The bright blessed day, dark sacred night

Knowledge
If anyone travels on a road in search of knowledge, God will cause him to travel on one of the roads of Paradise.
The angels will lower their wings in their great pleasure with one who seeks knowledge.
The inhabitants of the heaven and the Earth and (even) the fish in the deep waters will ask forgiveness for the learned man.
The superiority of the learned over the devout is like that of the moon, on the night when it is full, over the rest of the stars.
The learned are the heirs of the Prophets, and the Prophets leave (no monetary inheritance), they leave only knowledge, and he who takes it takes an abundant portion.

“Ia tiada beranak, dan Ia pula tidak diperanakkan;
“Dan tidak ada sesiapapun yang serupa denganNya”
