I recently watched the videos from Youtube of a well-known muslim speaker Yasmin Mogahed who has literally inspired many souls all around the world from her words and writings. I'm so in love with the way she's preaching, the words she used in her speeches, and her approaches as well. Her videos such an inspiration, a motivation of mine which somehow bring me closer to Allah s.w.t. insyaallah :) *** Yasmin Mogahed One of her videos that I was overly attracted to is 'HOPE IN GOD ' recorded at the Fisher and Paykel Auditorium at the University of Auckland, New Zealand on 19 April 2015.

Before this summer sem (or well knowingly as Soifi in Jordan) is going to pack his stuffs and leaving, give me a chance to write a brief post all about him. At least he knows, there's a space for him to exultantly receive an appreciation after all the curses this girl always uttered. (I consider Summer is a man because it seemed strong and brave like most of men will always do) ... "I hate summer, Malaysian hot weather is better" The girl spoke it out almost everyday as for the first week of Summer probably because it was her first time experiencing an unlikely wild degree celcius hit her not so fair skin. To find an exact word, nagging. Hahaha she's so funny, she didn't even remember she also used the word 'hate' during last winter, when the degree celcius reached negatives. Even animals couldn't understand such this kind of people behaviour. Extra demanded. Really ungrateful. Did she think Yoporoks is the one who controlled these four season ...

"eh u tak sedih ke tengok ni? heartless lah u ni bla bla bla" "kenapa enti ni heartless sangat, takkan tu pun tak sedar ish ish ish" "eee heartless nyaa kau ni. takde perasaan betul buat camtu" ***** eh penatlah dengar orang cakap kita heartless, kadang kadang kita berubah being someone yang tersangatlah caring ... (trial) "eh eh u ni ada masalah ke? ada pape i boleh bantu" "yaallah kesiannya awak ni. kenapa ni kenapa ni?" tapi, kita end up rasa "masyaallah fake nya aku. macam plastic sampah" (besar sikit saiz) because you're no that kind of person sejak azali. you can easily feel sorry to a person but not in the way you want everyone around you to know. (silently care?) ***** you then wonder, what is the actual meaning of heartless person ?  are they a group of people who don't have any hearts OR the person who is feelingless, lifeless OR hardhearted person. idk. if that so, "am i ...
