Mother's Day

If you look at the lives of the greatest men who ever lived, you will find that they owe their greatness, primarily to the care and nurture of their mother, especially in their formative years. Soo, its easy to conclude that behind every successful person around the world, there will always a person responsible for that. And that person is someone we called " Mother " or in my case its " Ibu ". If we serve them, they will bless us. There is no blessing like that of the mother. Even prophet Muhammad (PBUH) once said,

" Do good and serve your mother, then your mother, then your mother, and then your father. "

MOTHER was repeated and emphasized 3 times. Its really shows how important to respect, cherish and value your mother much much more than your father, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't disrespect your father. The reason was simply, because we owe them a duty for their labour and pain for bringing us into the world. Without them, we could not have been here in the 1st place. Not to mention, the countless times of comforting us when we fall, cry, hurt, and soo much more.

Without Ibu, I wouldn't even be here writing this post and I know this post was long since overdue but better late than never right? Hehe. While everyone on my social media sites are showing off their appreciation post with gift and such for their respective mothers, I'm only here capable of just give her a simple wish instead, but I do intend to make it special and soo I did this! ^_^

And some family selfie collages along the way.

Seriously, there should be a photo frame of this, so that I could put it on my room. Hahaha

It isn't much but, you truly had no idea of how hard it is to get those personal selfies from my 3 others siblings. Considering us, guys dont really selfie that much ( especially Ayah and my big bro) and to get even a single picture with a good smile on the face is actually really hard. They don't even have social media accounts and hardly share any photo of themselves makes it harder. Anyhow, I'm kinda glad that I got a good 1 from each of them and its good to see they are cooperating with me ( walaupun kena paksa kan, hahaha ). The most interesting would probably, Zarif (youngest) had to use selfie stick for him since his hands are too small to press the button. Hahaha, getting him to smile was actually priceless. 

Oh well, the saddest part for me would probably me, not able of returning home since there's like tonnes of work on my place and there are not a single holiday whatsoever throughout the week Its really hectic and to be honest, we went over 15 hours of work time/ a day. O_O The workloads are piling up and some of us started to develop panda eyes because lack of sleep. But you know what they said " Bersusah-susah dahulu, bersenang-senang kemudian " ^_^ im pretty much sure my salary this month would be triple the amount rather than the usual. Hahaha. But anyhow, health do comes first and I never once forget about that. :) Lets pray so that I could survive these month with ease. Hehe.

And of course, to all going-to-be mothers and mothers of all ages....

A future letter

I actually found this somewhere around facebook and so I was thinking of writing something about this or maybe a blogpost about it. I wasn't so sure at first and felt a little bit anxious to write about it until a friend of mine directly dm-med me and eventually challenged me to write it. Soo I did! :P ^_^.

This is sooooo not like me to write something like this out of in the open but come to think of it, maybe I should just go with it and let my heart opens up its doors sometimes. Who knows? Maybe someday, when I eventually found "The One" I could just let her read this.


Would that be sweet kan?
( habis la korang dalat diabetes la nanti baca post nie hahaha)

Soo, here goes...

Dear future wife, whoever and wherever you are atm kan..

I don't know if I met you already of if god will cross our paths sometime in the future. But I'm doing my best to live according to God's will, so I can't imagine who the girl is that he has aside for me. If you wish to know, life has been hard on me these days. I had to endure a lot of obstacles and thank god, with His Guidance, I am doing fine at the moment. Likewise, I hope you too are fine.

I know that you will be an amazing, strong-willed woman, so I'm kinda excited to grow with you in spiritual way. I pray that whatever difficult trials you are going through right now, Allah bless you with the faith and confidence to push through. I pray that Allah will kept you forever in his protection. Please don't waste your time and love for someone who don't appreciate it. :( I wanted you to know that you are very special and you should know that your heart and feelings doesn't deserved to be played by such people. It is very valuable and to be honest, it actually pains me to see you cry over someone who doesn't appreciate your love and efforts. Keep being strong on both mental and physical okay? Do dress nicely and don't forget to cover your aurat at all times alright? Heee ^_^

If you wish to know, I am currently working my heart and my mind ready for you. I often wonder why it has been so many years and yet I still haven't caught a glimpse of you. Maybe Allah knows that I'm not ready for you. At least not now. He probably knew that I wouldn't be able to give my 100% and that is definitely not fair to you. However, I kept praying day and night in hopes that I did meet you as soon as possible and I am currently putting my efforts at the moment, so please be patient. Wherever you are, if you are sad. I am truly sorry that I couldn't be there to comfort you in your problems but do remember 1 thing. Allah is always there to be with you. He is the best listener afterall ^_^

Deep down inside, I truly wish that you could be here whenever I felt down. It has been really hard without you and to be honest, I was quite upset that you seem to be taking a long time to appear in my life. :( Where have you been? Huwaaa~~~ :( Wherever you are, I really hope you are doing well. Despite all of these, I believe that Allah had planned the best for his people and I strongly hold on to that. I seem to kept repeating myself huh? I'm sorry.

All in all eventhough, I never met you now or did I? :O You should know that I missed you a lot and I promised I will make you the happiest woman and love you forever ^^. Bukankah itu tugas seorang suami? 😄 Even if it takes me 1000 years to met you, I'll promised Ill be here waiting. Soo till that day comes, please take good care of yourself, okay sayang? ^_^ hehehe

Judgemental & Slander

In our personal lives as well as on global scale, we face challenges that test our emotional mettle, injury, illness, unemployment, grief, divorce, death or even a new venture with an unknown future. Same goes for me. In my case, people around me are the problem.

People around you? 

Serious ah, Sam! Mesti ko ada buat silap mana-mana kan?

That would probably be the normal typical response when I didn't manage to fit myself into the crowd. Well, any crowd to be exact. Here at my place, I came to realise that I was surrounded by people who are too highly judgemental. From housemates, workmates and even among the managers. Lets just say all of them! One small mistake made, and then people will remember how bad you are and that kind of stuffs lasts for quite sometime. Annoying isn't it? Well that's life and life teaches you lots of stuffs.

To be perfectly honest, most of my mates viewed me as the mysterious guy who is really in his own little world. I would personally described myself as introvert. I don't really gather and talk much to others unless I was are asked to. You guys understand what I meant right? I felt that I would rather spend my free time reading books, do outdoor activities of my own and avoid interacting much with people because I felt that less people you know, less shitty stuffs that you will have to deal with later. As a result, they don't know a single thing about me, unless they tried coming at me and ask.

For example, there was this one time where I felt really sick and decided to go to the hospital by BUS ( kat sini diorang panggil bas lompat ) and I was ON MY OWN. I went there mainly because a few weird-white spots are visible on my back and I was so worried. It was so itchy to the point that I would use sharp objects to scratch my back. As a result there was scratch marks and it was unimaginably painful. I couldn't even sleep and let alone working for the next day. Even laying down or wearing regular T-shirt felt really hurt. It was for sure wasn't normal and I did everything from applying lotion to taking bath 10 times a day in hopes that it would all go away. 10 FREAKING TIMES!! How much water I wasted, only Allah knows. It was a painful experience and thanks goodness that I am okay now.

Oh, I forgot to mention to you guys that I am soo good at keeping secrets and other things under wraps. Even when I'm sick that day, nobody actually knew what happened despite living in a same house until they asked our work manager of what happened.

However, at some point I'm thinking, maybe there's something wrong with me and maybe I should change myself for others. But another strong ego side of me said that I don't really need to change who I really am. Why? By doing as such wouldn't it consider to be hypocrite? Don't you think its a torture that you had to fake your true behaviour just to fit in the crowd? I don't really want to be such person. I am me and if you don't like me, I'm perfectly fine. So yeah, this stuffs do clouded my sense of thinking at times but not much.

Its funny when I think about what those people judge me behind my back. I kept hearing slander from the mouth of others of how terrible person I am in terms of management since I'm the coordinator and stuffs, eventhough there's really nothing wrong with it. I am just doing my stuffs as the company wanted me to and there's still people who were not happy with it. Besides, those people who kept spreading slander of me are just jealous of how I am good in my current position and guess what? I am fully aware of their true intentions. Probably wanted to bring me down my ranks by spreading false rumours. I knew the person who did such thing but lets just hope karma/kifarah gets him well. What comes around, goes around after all, am I right?

Anyway, I really don't want to be that guy who badmouth others behind their backs but by writing it here would probably be the best way to release some of the stress that I have been feeling ever since I met these "wonderful" people. Like usual, I didn't really blame them for being that way. Instead, I tried to understand them as to why they would act as such.

Whenever, I come in contact with highly judgemental people I do my best to put myself in their shoes and understand why they behave the way they do and why they feel the need to point the finger at those around them.

You see, I really believe that underneath it all we are all good and kind and loving human beings but because of the many challenges that life sends our way and because of the many struggles that we all face made some of us became bitter and resentful. When that happened, we begin to project our own pain and suffering in the form of blame and judgement and criticism onto the world around us.

However, I felt that understanding them alone simply wasn't enough. In fact, it doesn't really help me in terms of anything at all.

Okay laaa~~ Maybe a little in terms of self improvement kot, but surely the fact I can't keep those haters poison-like mouth from spreading slander about me was still there and it probably wont stop until I was down. Let us all just hope, I kept being strong in overcoming these obstacles in life.

I need to be strong and I really hope I get stronger for more years to come ahead. Cheers! Don't forget to spead the love ^_^
