She, a tough girl

It was a gloomy morning. She was late again. She hassled to her cubicle to put all her stuffs. There was something on her table. It was a gift. She then took a closer look at the perfectly wrapped token. It was a mug. It was written there;

Virgo the virgin
Perfectionist
Practical
Diligent and reliable
Critical
Analytical
Modest
Intelligent

She stood there, with the mug in front of her. For long, she thought deep, scheming the words one by one.

*sigh

Persevere.
There's no such word of "give-up" in her dictionary of life..
Through all the hardships,
all the tears and pain,
she was a tough girl.
And there,
she was hoping that she still is...


"Life is not a bed of roses"

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?

When I grow up

"But be careful what you wish for
'cause you might just get it
You just might get it
You just might get it"
(When I grow up lyric)

Little did you realize that time flies so fast. The last time you remembered that you were just a little kid, young and naive, curious with the world which is full of wonders. But now, you've grown up, to be an adult, with responsibilities and thoughts, living in the life of causes and consequences.

And sometimes, you just wish to turn back...

I still remembered last time when I was a little girl, I always wonder how is it like when I grow up? I can't wait to be a big girl myself, so that I can do things on my own and get all the things that I want. And now, with responsibilities that I have to hold on to, sometimes, I wish I was just a little girl back then.

Sometimes, life isn't just as pretty as it looks like. You have to work hard most of the time. Being a big girl myself, sometimes I feel like crying each and everytime I punch out, leading myself to the car, with stuffs in the hands. Everyday is just the same day, day till night, it's all about work. Then, the flashback of the good old days came dancing in the head and followed by a long sigh.

I guess, the same thing happens to most of us too.

But, responsibility is just something that you couldn't run away from.

And that's how it goes.

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

...and I guess, that's just the price that you've gotta pay...

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

Remember

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you planned:
Only remember me: you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

~Christina Rossetti~

Just call me, will you?!!
