Stick with you

If

you're lucky enough

to find someone

that makes you feel

like the only thing in the world,

don't be dumb enough to take it for granted.

Stick with them,

fight for them,

and never let go

That's what she said

She was there,
All long,
She stood there,
Waiting,
Loyal and still.

She listened to every sorrow,
and still,
She talked for whatever good,
and still,
She could have walk,
But she resisted,
So she stays..
Until today...

Why?
Because she'll never leave...

And that's what she said..

Second chance

It's been a week now and I still feel like it was all just a dream. Bad dream I should say. Though I somehow feel like someone who is so sick when people keep on asking me whether I am ok or not, but I guess I couldn't be more grateful for I am still breathing until now, Alhamdulillah.

I was just came back from a state level event for the team that I managed last Saturday. First runner up all over the state is quite an achievement for a new comer like me. It was the first day of working after been outstation for quite a while. Well, I guess I should have just trust my instinct as the day started with a 'not-so-in-the-mood' me. The whole morning was dull, until lunchtime, I wasn't planning to finish up my 'leftover work' so after the meeting, I rushed to my car, and speeding to the bank to settle-up things.

I wasn't so sure what happened, but as far as I remembered, I was driving fast when I lost control the car and hit the highland area. Everything was like a snapshot, before I fainted for few seconds to minutes. As what I remembered, I told myself to immediately get out of the car, and yes, I was actually half-conscious when I sat next to the 'badly damaged' car few moments later. Not so long, I heard a friend of mine, running towards me, hugging me, asking me how was I but to be frank that time, I wasn't so sure what I was feeling.

Now, it's been a week, and I am actually becoming more sure of how I feel for I know, I am getting better, Alhamdulillah. As far as I know, by hook or by crook, I have no other options but to stay strong since the traumatic incident. And I am also feeling so grateful for I have everyone to support me. I guess, the incident has made me realized , how lucky I am to have everyone who loves and concerns about me.

Perhaps it's a reminder for us all.

Though it's a bit hard to start everything all over, but I'm still grateful for God has given me the second chance, to make things right.

"You'll never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have left"

Who are you to judge?

I was told in a workshop;

Life is a long struggle.
Do not judge people because you yourself might also struggling with your own life-long struggle.
But, it is our duty to help each other with our struggles.

Well, yes.
Sometimes, people tend to be judgmental towards what is seen in the eyes.
Sometimes, people are more concern about finding others' flaws neglecting the good deeds of others.
Sometimes, people are just complaining without being grateful for what they have.
Sometimes, people are just being people, joking about other people's weaknesses without any sense of respect, disregard the sensitivity of other people's feelings and emotion.

Well, do you think that these people are the good people who has the privilege to judge?
Are they not like those who are always tested with challenges as the Almighty God's creations?

...many times in life, we do the wrong things, we are not angle.
But, feel guilty about it, acknowledge yourself immediately.
Immediately following up with something good..

...Allah promises to those who are hardworking, determined towards the right things...

(quoted from the workshop I attended)


So, be good and help others to be good.
You could make a difference.

So, instead of condemning, help others to find the right path, ok?

Alone

I remembered my mum told me once,
"When you get older, you'll feel more alone"

Now, being an adult myself, I couldn't agree more with what my mum has said and taught me.

Being an adult, of course you have to be on your own, most of the time I should say. Imagine yourself, been staying far from parents for about 7 years, and when now staying with them, nothing much differ I guess as we struggle to keep up with our very own life, works and needs. I guess it also applies to all, as there are no more hang outs and shopping with the so called BFF so as the loved ones. Thus, leaving yourself alone and everyday ends with a long sigh and ponder.


I guess this is what we call life. No matter who you are, whatever background you come from, plus and minus you have to admit that's just the kind of life you've been living in, i mean struggling to keep living. I still remember the day when I was rushing to my car after work and I saw a Mak Cik. She was sweeping the compound and I just smiled from far. I wondered what kind of life that she's having? Does she has a lot of things in her mind too? But once I got in the car, I just said to myself, "Alhamdulillah, for who I am now, for what I'm doing today, I am still be able to live..."

Sometimes, we are too busy focusing on a better life until we overlook to be grateful ourselves. Life is a test where all of us are struggling to pass. Thus, you can't compare your life to others.

Allah does not burden any person with more than he can bear. [2:286]

.. He who knows best..
Thank You Lord, for the life that You has given me..

I just wanted to be happy

Just a word

Yes, no cash required.
Just a word, or maybe two.
It is good enough.

With just a word, or maybe two,
You could make someone to smile.
With just a word, or maybe two,
You could make someone's day seems bright.
With just a word, or maybe two,
You could make someone to be grateful living.
With just a word, or maybe two,
You could make someone to feel appreciated.
With just a word, or maybe two,
You could make someone to fall in love again.

Yes, thanks.
Just a simple thanks.
Thanks, mom.
Thanks, dad.
Thanks, sister.
Thanks, brother.
Thanks, friend.

Thank you, Lord.
Thank you Lord, for the life that You have given me.


Just say it..

I am happy, still

"I'm happy for you."
"Thank you. I hope you'll find someone soon."
Silence.
"How would I know if he is the right one for me?"
"Soon you'll know when you meet him."
Hugs.

Stepping yourself into twenties has made you realize that time flies so fast. You're gonna miss those moments when you hang out with your friends, go shopping with your girlfriends, chit-chatting in the class during the lecture, staying up whole night with your partner to finish up your assignments and all the best things you had.

Little did you realize, things had changed a lot. Most of your friends are engaged or even marriage while some are already in a stable relationship. If you are still single, perhaps you'll feel a bit stress up for still not having someone special while almost everybody around you does. If you're already in a relationship, perhaps you'd feel more alone as you found out most of your friends are already married, having babies while your partner is busy with his jobs and so on. How about those who are already married? I bet being a mom in twenties is never easy. Perhaps you would be wondering yourself how does it feels if you're still single, having fun with your friends, hanging out and shopping.

Well, whatever status you are now, just enjoy the ride. =D

Life is like a masterpiece. Each and every paint differs to one another. The beauty of the life itself may also differ. It is very subjective to say that "your life is more beautiful than mine" and "my life is more beautiful than yours".Maybe you were granted to have a wonderful life when you were a kid, but once you grew up, life has never been easy for you. Maybe God has given you everything that you need in this life, with good education, good job, good family but still you can't find a good partner of your life. Maybe you're just comfortable of being in an average life, with little family, little income, little house, little car and you're just happy with that.

Whatever it is, be grateful for every bits and pieces that God has given us is to show His love to us. Be grateful for you're still breathing. Be grateful for you are granted with a good health. Be grateful that you are pretty (well yes, nobody's ugly =D ). Be grateful that you still have people who love and care for you. Be grateful and just be grateful...

But being grateful doesn't mean that you can just sit there doing nothing. Keep on trying to find your true happiness. Have passion to fall in love again. Find a hobby perhaps. Enjoy what you love to do. Surround yourself with beautiful things that you love. Surround yourself with positive people.

LOVE yourself and LOVE others =D
