Social activist Lauren Booth says she was born to worship Allah

Booth admitted she felt angry at Islam at first after seeing the woman's poverty."I asked her, why do you fast in Ramadan? You said your God loves you, but He makes you hungry. You said He loves you, but He makes you thirsty."The woman replied: 'Sister, I fast in Ramadan to remember the poor'.The words stay with me because it was clear this woman who has nothing did not see herself as poor. At that moment, I told myself if this is Islam, I'm in," said the social activist.

How about you?

Kedai Elektrik Murah

Last weekend we baught a refrigerator at a (very, i guess) reasonable price at this awesome electrical shop:

Pusat Perkhidmatan TV & Video Toon King
6, Jln Besar, 43000 Kajang, Selangor.
Tel: 03 - 87375501.

We got Toshiba at RM600+ including delivery. The sales woman was very friendly and convincingly provided us good opinions and experiences of others.

I also found an oven brand "Butterfly" there. I could not remember the size but they have three sizes. The one that I interested in is the middle size which would cost me RM190+. I have a friend who sells muffins, cakes and all. She uses the butterfly oven because it's good performance and suggested by her sifu. It's very good for baking and have been in the market for years. It could not be found on supermarkets' shelves, only at small electrical shops i guess. So no wonder I have never heard about this oven before. By the way, I did not buy that last weekend. Maybe some other times later, insyaAllah :).

Anyway, do visit the shop and may you get the good bargain.

Daaa~ 11th Ramadhan 1433.

Ramadhan Kareem 1433H

Salam.

It has been four days of Ramadhan.. I would like to wish all of the Muslims Happy Ramadhan !! It's the month of blessing.. Moga masing-masing dapat menambahkan amal ibadat dan istiqamah sehingga ke bulan-bulan seterusnya, ameen..

 I have found a cool group at facebook, named as "Raudhah Ramadhan". Do like it and you will be benefitted :) These are the examples of 'goodies' obtained from the group:

Meaningfull video, 'Bring It Anywhere' .

And they also has an application called 'RR_AmalTracker'. It is an excell file where you can tract your progress of amal during the Ramadhan. It will rank your amal according to what you have filled up..It's so interesting. Kind of sport/jogging tracker. Let's try it !!


 That's all for now. Happy fasting peeps !!

update

salam.

after long long long times :D

Sekarang ini saya sangat aktif survey persiapan kahwin. i am getting married, you see insya Allah. i have not done any preparation yet for the wedding but for the life after married, yess :D we have rented a house. while blog-hopping B2B blogs, i also do some blog-hoppings regarding the house and interior design. i even bought the book cabinets. next, would be an oven..

i think i have set a right priority salah seorang kawan saya pernah cakap' "pelamin, baju-baju dan sebagainya biarlah bersederhana. elakkan pembaziran. lagipun tak berapa penting pun, yang penting adalah kehidupan selepas kahwin". saya bersetuju dengan pandangan beliau. so berpegang pada moto "more is less", saya tenang-tenang saja :D usha2 but doesnt make up my mind yet..just to keep my options wide open.the wedding theme is more likely to be white, insya Allah .. the design and all that, i'll let my mom to decide below adalah hasil google..simple n classic. kind of like it :)

so loooong

Salam

Wow, it has been few months since the last post. I even forgot the existing of this blog :D Dear blog, i am sorry!!

Lots happened & going on these few months:

1. I went for an interview last two weeks as a part time/ full time lecturer/ tutor at one of the IPTS. I was required to prepare a 20 minutes presentation on any topics that I'm comfortable with. It was last minute preparation and well it didn’t turn out well. It was damn tough. I didn’t expect they will ask so many questions on the contents of the presentation. End of story. I learnt my lesson. It was very precious experience for me. I will perform better for the next round of interviews insyaAllah.
2. I have few problems with my supervisor. It has been very tough lately but still can be handled. It maybe because of our characters and I heard lot of complains regarding her behaviors. Consequently, I have these negative perceptions towards her. Dugaan-dugaan .
3. I am planning to get married. Maybe end of this year insyaAllah. I have known my soon-to-be soul mate for almost 9 years, on-off relationship. But since last year, we have been communicating well and seriously considering the possibility of building our own little family. Both parents of our sides already knew about us and hopefully, it will become a reality..
4. PCR has been successfully optimized. At least, I know what’s the reason of the failures. I am an expert now and very satisfied with the results. Alhamdulillah. All the stress and hard works were really paid off.

dieting

last week, i went to a conference. there was a topic about bus driver - obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) - obesity. that was very interesting !!

so i shared that with my friend who happens to be obese with BMI = 33. i told him that please lose some weight because with BMI = 33, you are qualify to get the OSA. OSA is very bad thing; you snores out loud during sleeping, are having difficulties to breath and are lethargy during daylight even you sleep very early at the night before. apart from that you are opt to experience marriage crisis with your life partner later on. i also added some points of my own (that not been discussed in the conference); the obeses are usually lazy to move (i.e passive/ dormant or whatever that is similar) and bad-tempered.

quote 1

I found an interesting quote and would like to share. The quote is as below:


" As long as the world is turning and spinning, we're gonna be dizzy and we're gonna make mistakes " - Mel Brooks


So true, right? No human is perfect. So why bother or worry unnecessarily when we make mistake because that's nature !
And instead of that, why don't we learn something out of it; so that we do not make the same mistake twice !

motivating 2

I did tell to the sky..these two bothering problems (of course, with no specific details) the followings are what the sky said : (in malays and smses)

> Awk ni apa cite, bila nak abis master? Da 2 thun lbh. Jgn ar buang masa terlalu lama. Kalo rasa tak leh, stop je. Bina kerjaya pulak
+ hello, baru 1.5 thn ! jadi RA dah 1.5 thn :D xde la rasa buang masa sgt. byk benda sy belajar; bkn stakat benda2 lab tp benda2 berkaitan kehidupan yg lain. mustila tak leh stop, da janji dgn supervisor, da amik duit scholarship, da bgtau sume org sy tgh wat master, alih2 quit. what a shame !

> Tak fikir rugi ke da blaja jauh2, balik2 end up with nothing. Cubalah cari kerja yg bagus2. Contribute something yg bermanfaat pd negara, agama, bangsa dan diri sendiri
+ dr segi mata kasar, rugilah kot. tp dr segi maka tak kasar; mase sy blaja dulu tu byk sy blaja tentang kehidupan. awk igt dgn degree je, senang nak cari keje skrg ni dgn options bidang ini yg terhad. berapa ramai junior sy masih terkapai2 cari keje or tgh menganggur. cari keje bkn suatu yg senang skrg ini. sy bkn patriotik sgt nak contribute pd negara, no sense of belong. rakyat asyik dibuli je. harga minyak naik berapa sen tetapi turun 10 sen jek. do you expect we have to contribute something to this country in this situation. hell no! sy cuma tak beri undi kpd parti Barang Naik itu & juga kpd those ultra kiasus

motivating 1

Lately, i am bit stressed out. Been optimizing my real time PCR for the past 2 months with no success yet. It was very heartbreaking. I have my poster presentation in July and the pcr that is still not working. Stressed all out ! I did so many gradient pcr reactions with multi melting curve peaks sometimes (although the company said the primers are specific to genes of interest) and of course no bands on gel electrophoresis and of course with friends and supervisor asking (busybodying?); how things going on? They really pissed me off ! did not they see how i am struggling here?

Still, I have not lost my hopes yet. Wait for my new pcr kit to come this Tuesday. Then we will see..Dear God, please !!!!!

That's one prob..I have another one problem that keeps bothering me quite for some times now. I have several family issues. Too embarrassed to tell what they are all about even to my best friends. Now, I think its about two months or three that I have lost keep in touch with, even with my mom. My father did contact me couple weeks ago which made me crying out loud and alone..I think the issue was their faults (especially mom). Why could not they just contacted me after noticed how long I was invisible to them. (I was never invisible to them before. I always call them/ mom at least once a week). or they just could not be bothered anymore or they did not noticed? I really feel lonely, disappointing and not been loved.

It does not matter with me, if they just contact me asking how am I doing? and not explaining or solving the issue that keeps me at distant. But they never did that.

I tell myself everyday, never mind I will call them today (especially mom). But when I am bit free, I just did not pick up the phone and call them. My ego controls me after all...

These two problems really make me tensed all day and make me think a lot. Whenever bad things happen, I always think that happen because of my wrong doings and Allah wants to punish me..

envy

My friend just passed her viva and qualified for her master. Good for her. I am bit envy.

i hope i could achieve the same thing. I have been doing it for the pass 1 year plus..Yet the achievement was not so enlightening. I guess many factors play part. Majority, me myself.

When I heard her good news, I am very happy for her. From what I heard from her, the journey was not so easy. But finally, she managed. I admired her and everybody else who able to pursue and persist till the end. Deep down, I tell myself; see they could do it and why I cannot? I tried to motivate myself. Usually, it succeeds but it would not last longer. Then I became what I am used to be. ayyo..

Why life seems to be very difficult. Is it because I am not been blessed by God because of my wrong doings? I did many awful things, too many to be counted.

Dear God, please help me to help myself! You are the only one that I could depends on..
Please God…

Dear self, please strive harder...
Please self...

Year

It has been a year since my last post. What to do, being me..inconsistency is always my trait. But a year !! :D

Nothing much happened ..still the same. Remember my pushing factors thingy? Tell you what, just applicable for some times. Then, im back to what's used to be me..

Let me list few significant events for past few months:

1. Parents: Dad hospitalized. And until now, he's not fully recovered. Quite worried. Mom still being superwoman as always
2. Siblings: My second bro been working. Alhamdulillah. My third bro, form 2 now. Grew very well physically but not mentally :D Ayyo, sangat malas belajar harap kan makan je byk !!
3. Work: Not much progressed. I have to finish it off by this year. Oh, please dear Allah help me to help myself :(
4. Affliation: Sometimes it bored me. I will try to stay positive about this. Hopefully, I could hang on and persistent
5. Sky: been better..Hopefully, it will get even better. Im counting on it, please be with me

I think thats pretty much covered the events

Till then

push factors II

took quite some times to figure it out..

i think i have figured it out..2 or 3 will do..

1) must finish it quickly, since money is running out !!
2) must finish it quickly, so i can move on..quite suffocated to stuck in here for any longer

now i have to plan. still on the way. What i have done so far:
1) read..2 journals have been digested..good action to start with
2) have made an appointment with the statistician..
3) still developing good positive attitudes : hardworking, patient.. :P

well, somebody says you have to reward yourself even for small..little tiny achievement..so i have dicided to buy something that quite sometimes i have aimed for :)

till then

push factors I

starting from today i have to live the life.
(maybe blogging could help)

past few days or perhaps years, i passed thru life less passionately, didnt bother enough.followed the flow..

i love to share experiences and talk to others, hoping i would be inspired and leading me for better life dimension.

today i talked to somebody that i have known past few years whom i respect and look for..

he said ' i have to find my push factors '
i have been thinking so hard..what are my push factors? kind of difficult question for me as i am botherless person..hmm..

let's hope that i will find one..go-go
