ya soidaliyah~

as i stroll along my familiar route to school with kak yana to send her back home we depart infront of the farmasi...a farmasi i love to crash in whenever in medical needs...bla3...so melodramatic...but this is sad~

though this is not the one...the pharmacy is the one dekat ngan kedai daging tuh...(tak taw bile nk amek gmbr kedai tuh)

as i waited for d-hah, kak yana told me...

"lynne tau x dr farmasi ni dah meninggal?"

"huh? meninggal???"

"a ah..."

"pak cik yg tembam2 putih2 pakai spec tue?"

"a ah...!"

"innalillah...huhu..."

"tu pasal farmasi ni x bukak2 dah since sebulan lepas~"

"dy x bkk da?...mane kak yana tau?"

"kinah kamil bgtaw...."

...shock!!!...

i am strongly reminded about an example a physiology doctor lectured us in my second year...

on how to understand the concept of the sensitization in short term plasticity of synaptic transmission...(cewah...mcm ingt, salin dr buku act...hehe)...she said~

it's like u walk evryday to school n u pass buildings...since it's your evryday route, u usualy took no interest in what's happening in the buildings around you...but one day...as you walk to school, a bakery you pass evryday to school caught a huge fire..."shock!!!"...starting that day on for another few days evrytime you pass the bakery, u will rmmbr it had burn down before until u get habituated...

that's what i feel like...dreading when will that pharmacy open its doors again evrytyme i passed it...only 2 and a half months away, and this news came...isk3

tribute to the farmasi owner~

(hehe...emotion is kind of wacky once i step foot in egypt)

two worlds...

i feel like i hav two different world...

the one here in egypt...and the one there in malaysia...
it's unjustifiable...coz i luv both as much

eid mubarak's tragedy~

salam syawal~
:D

'my best shot on our fireworks...this thing is really difficult to snap!'

almost everything in this world comes in pair...man and women, big and tall... and even happiness and sadness.... it is a custom in malaysia on each raya celebration, everybody have to feel happy!...but it's pair is quite hard for us to avoid right?

i spent my second day of raya till yesterday in terengganu and honestly not one day has passed whithout this thing screaming around...>>>

'sampai x cukop minyak', my mum said!

owh why do we have to destroy our happiness with dumb accidents???...but, i don't think i need to point out the obvious accident here do i?...car crash (knp perlu bawak laju???...sbb da lambat!)...firework explosion (sile maen...tp, jgnla smpai putus jari!)...but the worst tragedy though i don't think most of us noticed are...

diseases related accidents...

• heart attack
• diabetic coma
• stroke attack

and i notice these catastrophe are one of the most frequent callers for an ambulance!

'ambulance driver paling penat musim raye nie', again my mum said...

since we fasted for a month, still...it doesn't give us ticket to fill up our bellies till it burst~

all our raya delicacies contains loads of fat, sugar and salts...eating it once is enough to blow out a diseased person already...but numerous open houses needed to be attended...huhu~

nothing too much is good for us!

so, the conclusion is...eat to live don't live to eat!

p/s: i know this is a bit of fun spoiler...but too much fun is also not that good...:p...plus, credit to my mum as she never stop talking about health food throughout my summer holidays...hehe~

chocolate hazelnut cookies...nyum3...

sorry of the temporary uphold of my blogging...approximately 6 months after the last time my lappy was 'reformated',it agains gave way...have to be held captive for a few days in my uncle's fren's house...

anyway, it's nearing syawal...hehe...

it's sad that i don't think i've done the best i could to collect everything this ramadhan...also reminds me that i am only left with a few more days to be with my family here... but altogether, the spirit syawal brings is something to talk about...thus, our cookies step in~

this is absolutely my first time doing 'kueh raya' whithout my mother's supervision...not entirely though but the first few step i did it all by myself...since i love these cookies so much (finished a whole jar already...luckily another jar was spared for 'raya'...hehe)...am thinking of sharing it~

try it...i jz can't stop eating this...anyway, since tomorrow am going back to my kampong, i'd need to pause blogging for a while...hurm...

the saved jar of cookies...urgh!!!

slamat hari raya dan maaf zahir batin!!!

~it'd be sad to leave ramadhan whithout forgiveness and more blessings...since it is once a year...let's hope we are still alive for the next one!

accuracy...

assalamu alaykum...

today's tale that triggered my inner mind will be about the history of "ashabul kahfi"...which i assume most of you knew it,as it is also imprinted in our holy quran...

In the Name of Allah, the Most Benificient, the Most Merciful.

"and they stayed in their Cave, three hundred years, and add nine."

-surah al-kahfi verse 25 (literally translated)

what does the ashabul kahfi have anything to do with accurate?...well...it happened around january this year, one of my arabic teacher that tought me in egypt told us (my classmates and I) about what is hidden between this sentence...

why did Allah mentioned that the 'ashabul kahfi' stayed in that cave for 300 years and add 9 instead of 309 years?...there must be some interesting meaning hidden by the word 'add'...so al-mufassiriin studied this sentence and walla!~...they discovered the proof of Allah as the 'All Knower' and 'All Wise'...

on studying the meaningof this verse...they found out that, it was mentioned 300 years and add 9 because...

the 300 years represent the solar years whilst if we calculate it according to the lunar years it is 309 years...wicked huh?...
(each lunar year lacks 10 days compared to the solar years...)
isn't it amazing how accurate Allah is when retelling a history!!!! even on minor issue like this~ ...as we talk and retelling stories...sentences like this oftens comes out...

"erm...i think...maybe around three hundred years ago..."

"i dunno...it's sumwhere around 300 years i guess..."

many hesitance, loads of unsureness...well, Allah wasn't kidding when he sent down this verse...

"when you were propagating it with your tongues, and uttering with your mouths that wherof you had no knowledge, you counted it a little thing, while with Allah it was very great"

translation of surah an-Nur verse 15...

we could see now...by just talking, we might let slip some minor lies that may be completed into a big chaos... so being accurate is obligatory...we have to try, and if we do...what ever happens next we leave for Allah to decide...

~a sweet memory if i read surah al-Kahfi and a wonderful reminder to remember...
first of all to myself and for others...

destroying

as a human being...nothing is completely perfect...
but we must try to live as perfect as we can...meaning thoroughly~

because today i want to bring forth the second advise i copied from dr. jamilah;

"in whatever effort that we do, do not destroy something else!"

as we thrive throughout our live...we should realized that due to our lack of knowledge and greediness, we have doomed ourselves the end of our world...

- bombings
- harvesting (too much)
- hunting (too much too)

and all sorts of other stuffs...nuclear, oil and gas...
well, working for human's comforts is compulsory, but maintaining the ecological and world's physical balance is more crucial...isn't it?...

if only we studied everything thoroughly before recklessly practice them...

at least we get to excuse ourselves from any disaster...

is this understandable and worth to think about???

numb3rs...

assalamu alaykum~

today is about nothing significant...just about numbers...

today apparently is 090909...cool huh?
i've been dying since yesterday to make my post at exactly 09:09:09 a.m. 09 september 09... huhu...but i woke up at 9.30 a.m. and missed that moment...

looks like beautiful sequences is just not my destiny...hehe



last 7th august...my brother just reminded me that we missed a nice sequence...
12:34:56 p.m. on 7 august 2009...
it suppose to look like dis...123456789...

erm...
actually...1234567809

so on 7th august 2090 the sequence must've look nicer...

will i still be alive at that moment?....hurm~

only fifteen years old...

as remembrance of the 17th day of Ramadhon al Mubarak...


nuzul quran

a.k.a. the time quran is bestowed on earth...one of the subjects we can learn from al-Quran is 'sabab nuzul quran' which means the study of why a certain verse is sent down to earth...

reminds me of a story from my ustazah (ustazah eifat) from egypt...a story happened a long time ago...after our beloved prophet (s.a.w.) passed away...a story encircling surah an-Nasr

In the name of Allah, the Most Benificient, the Most Merciful

1. When comes the Help of Allah (to you, O Muhammad s.a.w against your enemies) and the conquest (of Makkah)
2. And you see that the people enter Allah's religion (islam) in crowds
3. So glorify the Praises of your Lord, and ask for His Forgiveness. Verily, He is the One Who accepts the repentence and forgives.
   

it happens on one of the meetings between 'sohabah' discussing the reason 'surah an-Nasr' was received...at the time, Umar ibn Khattab was the chairman of this meeting and he invited Ibn Abbas who at that time was only 15 years old...

talks came about among the sohabah and they argued the presence of Ibn Abbas as he was still young...but Umar ignored them...and he carried on with the meeting...

they were giving their own views on why this surah was sent...naturally many said due to the opening of makkah...when Ibn Abbas turn came, and he was ask for his view, he said...

"this is a sign, Allah was trying to tell us that the time has come for our beloved prophet (s.a.w.) to come back to Him as all his duties were fulfilled"

everyone in the meeting was astonished...how can he decipher such meaning from a simple surah like this...

because...
actually...
during our prophet (s.a.w.) was still alive...

He once prayed for Ibn Abbas the following du'a:

"Ya Allah, understand him (or make him clever in) our religion (islam) and teach him at-ta'wiil (knowledge of interpretation)"

in arabic words ( sorry, i dunno how to use the arabic alphabets on this lappy...)

" Allahumma faqqihhu fiddeen wa 'alimhu at-ta'wiil"

-u can change the 'dhomir' to read it for your self-
add 'i' if for me
add 'na' for us
add 'ka' or 'ki' for you

and so on, no one ever doubts the presence of Ibn Abbas in their meetings.

i apologize if there is any mistake regarding the story as i didn't record it thoroughly, but the lesson and the du'a is one of my priceless diamonds i gained in Egypt...

snake hole?...watch out!!!!

skimming for something to write in my blog...finally, i found something out~
a quote that i'd like to share,
i got it from an OnG specialist...dr. fauziah...during FIMA camp in langkawi...
and i managed to jot down about 23 advises from her...let's take the very first one~

"muslim should not go into a snake hole twice!"

the reason she wanted to give us advises as a muslim, doctor-to-be and a volunteer-to-be
so that her younger and suppose to be stronger generations would not make the mistakes she has done...but, nobody is perfect right?...

therefor, learn from our mistake and never repeat it...

our desire

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Fair in the eyes of men Is the love of things they covet;
Women and sons;
Heaped-up hoards of gold and silver;
Horses branded (for blood and excellence);
And (wealth of) cattle;
And well-tilled land.
Such are the possessions of this world's life;
But in nearness to God is the best of the goals (to return to)

(translation of surah al-imran verse 14 from text, translation and commentary of the holy quran by A. Yusof Ali)

as i ponder around in the Holy Quran yesterday, i came across this verse and it reminds me of a talk not long ago by a sheikh i guess who i have forgotten about...(huhu)

but i remember the contents of his talk which of course triggered my inner mind...

he said that since the early life of human being to this modernized world we live in, there are nothing but these common yearning human has always seek for their life in this world...and Allah has mentioned in the Holy Quran in surah al-Imran verse 14 that they are;

• wife and children
• lots of money
• a luxurious car or vehicle
• wealth and houses
• fertile land

either before

now

or in the future

5 things that i bet has cross each of your mind once in a while right?

i typed perfect lifesytle in google image and these came up
???

but in verse 15 Allah continues

Say: Shall I give you glad tidings of things far better than those?
For the righteous are Gardens in nearness to their Lord,
With rivers flowing beneath;
Terein is their eternal home;
With companions pure (and holy);
And the good pleasure of God.
For in God's sight are (all) His servants

(translation from surah al-Imran verse 15)

the point here is, Allah knows what we want but He said, those are just the pleasure of present life, at His side are far better return (paradise, eternity...)

so, don't be frustrated if we cannot reach this present life reward...aim for the eternity...

just curious...does any five of those things ever crossed your mind?

make it easy

this morning, as i was flipping the channels, a tv show on astro oasis catches my eyes..."bahtera perubahan"...a talk by dr mohd asri zainul abidin...

his sentence that made me stop pressing the remote control was
"orang yang baru masuk islam pon susah nak faham islam"

mmm...y? he said...(it means like this but he spoke in malay)

before, in Rasulullah time...the young generations heard his preeches and instantly felt unequivocally into forgoing islam...how?
Rasulullah explains the core of being a muslim...simple,straightforward rules
there is only one god which is Allah
Allah 'see' (maha melihat), so His followers understands that Allah sees everything
Allah 'hear' (maha mendengar)....n so on
so that everybody can understand, whether high or low educated people...

but nowadays we complicate our religion, we explain the philosophy of islam, not the 'akidah', eg: types of waters, sifat2 Allah, all the memorizable stuffs...
it's difficult for people who doesnt understand islam yet to practise this, infact, islam is not just memorizing...

"don't make people run away from islam"

i personally think it is true, because...it takes me years to finally understand why i am a muslim even though i was born as one...
being a muslim is not heritable!

pain~

assalamualaykum...

a topic of the day...it's been 2 days now since the operation...holding up to the surgical pain made these to days felt longer...but i came to realize, physical pain is more tolerable than emotional pain...

is it really?...this is what keep badgering my mind right now...maybe with anesthetics, it is more tolerable...hehe

"i really need to study how to use this internet properly...mmm...when???"

facial expression...

it hurts a lot!!!
not during the surgery...but after...i got 3 teeth out in one go...lucky though, because if it is done separately i don't think i'll go for the second appointment...hehe
n know my face is absolutely distorted~...(like a pear)

so talking about my distorted face...i'd like to point out my thoughts about facial expressions....

before i use to judge what people are thinking based on their facial expression...whether

but, somehow, now i realized...certain people just look like that but they didn't mean it inside.
one example happen to a friend of mine, her upper eyelid is drooped a bit in a nice way though, malays call it "mata kuyu", people tend to think she is sleepy all the time, but she isn't...huhu...

don't judge a person by his expression~

hehe...but at certain times we need to be aware of other's expression so as to not hurt their feelings~
