HOPE

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. (Hope in God, Imaan Boost TV, Apr 23,2015: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyszaM8sPjU ) *** I would love to share the beautiful contents of this video and frankly I was enjoying the whole of it.

Summer Sem's Sum up!

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 ...

I AM OK !

"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 ...

Bring Me Closer

Image
Sometimes (almost every time),  I did something that against You. I did certain actions that really disobey You. I did try to have everything on my own way, own rules. I did read your love letters but there's still no further awareness.  I did know You asked me to not go nearer, but I ended up doing that abundant. I did realize You see every single step of mine but I acted like those all hidden. I did understand but I remain on those forbidden.  Yet, You never failed to comfort me, to make every single drop of tears rolling down the cheek.  To realize me You're the only one I could rely on. To make me feel like I still have a new life to live on. To draw a smile on me because there's always a hope, a chance. To make me indulge every moments You created. To let myself be a good friend of Yours. To make me share each of the problems with You. Wallahi. Now I feel much better. :)

Travel travel travel !  Alhamdulillah during the last sem break, we managed to complete our trip to Egypt which quite tiring one for me because the trip was scheduled just right after my walking trip around Jordan. Two trips in a row! But yeah how could I resist to experience such those beautiful moments? Chewwah! We safely landed in Cairo on 5th of February early in the morning since we departed from Amman at 5 a.m and it took about only one hour and fifteen minutes to arrive without any transit. Well only the Red Sea make these two lands stay apart. To include all the travelog, from the beginning till the end of our journey here I think it will be so long, or maybe might trigger your jealousy at some points hehe. This one I afraid of :P So this post I'm going to share only about S I W A , a very ancient place with all its hidden treasures. (love it) Ok before I get started, let me give you read some facts related to Siwa. (copied link, more to its oasis but still...
