Realiti & Mimpi

Pernahkah kau merasakan

Hidup ini seperti mimpi yang panjang

Ingin saja aku keluar darinya

Namun terlindung jalan keluarnya

Gembira, suka, lebih lagi sedih duka

Seakan ditempelak setiap kali leka

Sehingga lemah longlai langkah kakinya

Tanpa jemu dan lelah bangun semula

Ada kala aku seperti dibawa jauh

Jauh dari realiti yang aku mimpikan sendiri

Pernah aku terbaca

Hidup ini ibarat penjara buat yang celik hatinya

Namun jika benar terang jiwanya, kenapa tidak hidup ini dipandang melangkaui tembok penjara?

Sehingga timbul jalan keluarnya

Bila kita betul-betul bersedia

Yang hanya diketahui oleh Yang Maha Esa.

People come and go..

But I pray and hope that Allah will protect this 9-years-and-more friendship till Jannah..ameen..

Setitischeese @ Pulau Kapas, 8-10 April 2016 -

The Lightest

My dream weight. 

Mission accomplished. 

Next is to maintain. 

I think with my cute height, i can go until 48kg. 

Tinta pena Luh Mahfuz telah lama mengering

Dalam erti kata lain, yakin dengan qada' dan qadar Allah. 

The trip to New Zealand was supposed to be cancelled. Although dah beli tiket since bulan 4 before i knew him. Coz the plan was to get married early next year i.e. 2016. So we need to manage the financial. I had actually received the refund of the trip. 

Takdir Allah yang mengizinkan sama ada sesuatu berlaku ataupun tidak. 

Tak jadi kahwin, proceed with the trip. Alhamdulillah the tour management was very kind enough to receive my last minute payment. 

Sesungguhnya perancangan Allah tu amat cantik. Walaupun ada dugaan my visa almost tak lepas di airport before departure sebab tukar pasport last minute (due to less than 6 months expiry date from the travel date), dan masa nak balik tu i tak check-in lagi even da one hour to the next flight coz flight delayed and i takleh buat website check-in coz of different passport number (thanks to dear friend dan sekumpulan group trip yg menghadapi masalah sama dan sudi terima saya join group check-in anda). Despite of all the challenges, Allah izinkan saya bergumbira sepuasnya di New Zealand dan bertemu orang2 yang sangat baik, tak berkira, full of love, sama2 sengal, open minded that makes the trip superly AWESOME!! 

Alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah. 

Of course, it is not as easy to forget. But Allah has made it easy for me. 

Alhamdulillah. 

I'm smiling, happily. 

Alhamdulillah. 

To the new love :)

I'll share about the trip and more photos sooner or later, insyaAllah.

Saw him yesterday during a funeral. Unintentionally. I felt nothing. 

Alhamdulillah. 

"Semua yang telah ditakdirkan dan dikehendaki Allah pasti terjadi" (Al-Hadith)

Thank you Allah for being so kind to me. Jadikanlah aku dari golongan orang yang bersyukur dan bertaubat. 

Ameen. 

Kata-kata Mama dan Surah al-Hadid

Two days ago, right after my last post (I wrote the post in the car, on the way back from family outing), surely mama noticed that I haven't smiled for the day. If I did, it was a fake one. 

She hugged me in the car, and said "Sabar, biar orang buat kat kita. Mama dulu pun banyak sabar masa awal-awal arwah Tok Chik (her late MIL) buat macam-macam kat mama. Kak ham masa bercerai pun, lagi down. Dia lagi laa ada 2 orang anak kecik. Iynas nie mama kira bersyukur takat sampai tunang ja.."

I feel a lot better. I start smiling. A genuine one. 

Had a long chat with my cousin. She's younger than me, but I love her advices on why I become like this and what shall I do to make things right again. Then come my sister, advicing me to recite surah al-Hadid (Iron) so that my heart will be as strong as iron. She did the same after she got divorced. 

Right the next day (yesterday), i recited  surah al-Hadid and its translation after Subuh prayer. Besides ease, I could feel my heart became stronger, not yet as iron coz I just read it once, but I could feel the difference. 

Hence later yesterday, my heart strongly felt that I had to do what I had to do. I could feel the strong push to do it, even after consulting my guy best friend (he's married) and he didn't allow me. 

Alhamdulillah Allah made it easy for me, and I did it. 

Lega. Like you used to say it. 

And ouh, on your wish for my happiness in the world, thanks but no thanks, I wish you the same, plus happiness in the life after. 

Just remember, Allah Maha Adil. We need to think on our action towards others might impact us later. Especially when it involves family. What more a mother's feeling. 

What goes around comes around.

And ouh sure, I have moved on. 

 

The smile

I have lost mine..

Seems you have not..

Good for you..

I cried at almost every prayer..

Seems like you're already having fun..

Good for you..

All is well, all is well.

A better wish

When you are the one who think that things are worth fighting for, while the other doesn't..

When you are the one who keep trying to make things work, while the other has stopped..

When the other told you that we shall cross the bridge together when the time comes, but you've been left right before we reach the bridge..

It hurts. Deeply. I won't deny. For i am human who's truly and sincerely has fallen in love..

Ironically, the other was the one who went after you, put a lot of efforts and started to be serious about it. And when you had gone head over heels, the other walks away, saying it has run its course. 

Just like that. 

Easy peasy. Easy come, easy go. Heartbreaker. So proud of it, huh.

Of course, everyone has flaws. But walking away is just too easy.

But then I realized, in pursuing human's love, I have slowly strayed away from Him..the connection with Him slowly fades away..

Perhaps with this trial, He is pulling me back to Him, and I shall be grateful and thankful.

Just like in my day-to-day prayers after solah, "Hanya kepada-Mu aku berbalik".

He is actually granting me my wish. A better wish. 

The Fault In Our Stars

Finally I got the opportunity to watch this movie (after one year!) on Astro. 

I did not had the chance to watch it when it was first released back in June 2014. I knew it was one of the most awaited film, being an adaptation of a best-seller novel. I didn't read the novel so I have had no idea what's the story line is all about (besides it is a love story of a couple who suffered from cancer). But I know I have to watch this film by hearing good reviews.

And I cried watching it.

My normal reaction after finish watching a good love story, I would stay silent for a moment and think - could I have the chance to feel what I feel while watching the film in reality?

After one hour of watching, I still can't get over that thought.

I keep asking myself why, and I keep telling myself,

"It is not my time yet. Just enjoy life as the way it is"

Okay Iynas?

Okay.

Allah belum izin

Search address. Found. Waze started navigate.

I seldom do this kind of thing. I need to prepare myself emotionally. I will take risk only if I am ready to accept the consequences.

Hence I proceed. Traffic was smooth. Found the place easily. Alhamdulillah, good sign.

Stepped out of the car. Entered the restaurant. Found a spot. Browsed through the menu. Ordered.

I ate slowly. The food was good. But my mind wasn't there. Uploaded a photo in Instagram to keep myself calm. Upload failed all the way. My left eyes became itchy out of sudden. Rubbed few times with my left forefinger.

Done with my meal. I didn't even finish it. Took out a piece of paper and a pen. Wrote the message. As planned.

Asked waiter for the bill. He came and I asked,

"Does this restaurant have a cook by the name of..." and started describing briefly.

"We did. But that person is no longer here. Resigned 2 years ago", the waiter replied. 

Did that person purposely gave me wrong info?

I can't helped but smiled. Alhamdulillah. At least I've tried.

Allah belum izin.

Making Own Pizza for Iftaar

Alhamdulillah, done deliver sabun cerah ketiak aka Marine Essence Beauty Bar after terawih today. Satu ke TTDI, satu ke Damansara Damai. Sorang nak kawen bulan depan, sorang ada eczema.  Alhamdulillah permintaan untuk sabun Marine Essence tak pernah putus sebab benefitnya untuk kulit sensitif dan eczema selain mencerahkan bahagian yang nak dicerahkan :-)

That's about sabun. Actually nak cerita pasal pizza buatan sendiri sebagai menu berbuka puasa di hari kedua. 

Penuh topping kan? Kat kedai tak dapat toppings banyak macam nie. Tapi kurang warna-warni laa. Heheheh. 

Toppings:-

- isi ayam

- nenas

- bawang

- cendawan

- mozzarella cheese

Sauce:-

- tomato puree

Heh. Ngelat rupenye kan. Takdelah pizza buatan sendiri sepenuhnya. Next attempt nak try buat base sendiri pulak. 

First time buat sendiri, buat dua loyang habis dimakan 4 orang! Sangat laa not bad kan although more room for improvement. 

Looking forward for next DIY Pizza! 

Tips: How To Manage Your Stress

Credit to instagram milik pelakon comel Lisa Surihani @lisasurihani_23 

Jangan lari dari masalah. Ia tidak menyelesaikan masalah. 

Jangan pula merenung masalah itu lama-lama. Ia hanya merencatkan anda. 

Bila ada masalah dan anda rasa stress, letak sekejap masalah ke tepi, buat aktiviti yang boleh release stress anda (window shopping/shopping, dengar lagu, solat, baca Quran dan sebagainya), kemudian hadapinya dengan strategi bijak untuk menyelesaikannya. 

Berbincang adalah langkah terbaik. Pastikan anda memilih orang yang betul untuk berbincang. 

1. Orang yang kenal diri anda. 

2. Pandai 'mendengar'.

3. Bukan batu api tapi menenangkan hati dan menawarkan solusi. 

Masalah dan stress adalah sebahagian dari rencah hidup. Hadapinya dengan bijak akan mematangkan diri. All the best to us :-)

Muah! -xoxo-

Remember HIM..

The moment that you feel no one hears you, remember that He always listens.

The moment that you feel no one understands you, remember Him who creates you.

The moment that you feel alone, remember that He is very close and will always be there for you.

As long as you remember Him and ask for His forgiveness, He is The Most Forgiving..

But, have we done enough to earn His blessings?

Birthday Celebration : Escape Room @ Berjaya Times Square

My unimates tanya I nak buat aktiviti apa for my birthday. I know both of us suka 'karok' tapi I macam nak buat something yang more 'hands on'. Tapi I takde idea, so I tanya balik if she has any ideas.

Then she came out with Escape Room. I was like, "what is that?" and she starts explaining something about Running Man, which I haven't watched or has any idea about it. Seriously masa tu baru perasan I sangat ketinggalan.

So I leave the bookings and other arrangements to her. Well, I'm the birthday girl here right? Hee.

Hari yang dijanjikan tiba. Since the booking at Berjaya Times Square's Escape Room is at 3.45pm, pukul 11 pagi weol start karoks dulu kat Plaza Low Yat for 3 hours. Puas.

Solat Zuhur kat Berjaya Times Square, then we heading to the Escape Room. Few other friends start coming. Total is 5 of us. Dua orang dah pernah main kat e@curve outlet. According to them, lain bilik lain jenis situasi permainan tapi konsep tetap sama i.e. we will be given 45 minutes to escape ourselves from the situation room through the clues given. There are few situation rooms/games and are different among the outlets. On that day, we are going for 'Taken', with the highest level of difficulty. Baru first time dah main yang paling susah. Great. Berdebar okeyh.

Escape Room @ Berjaya Times Square

To find out more games at which outlet, click here for their official website

Untuk 'Taken', 5 of us digari tangan masing-masing. Basically jalan ceritanya kami diculik dan dikawal ketat. Kami cuma ada 45 minit untuk melepaskan diri sebelum pengawal datang balik. Talian hayat akan diberikan sebanyak dua kali dengan menekan butang merah yang ada dalam bilik tu. Pertama sekali kena cari kunci untuk membuka gari yang menghubungkan tangan kami. Susah nak gerak kot kan kalau asyik bergari. So enter we in.

Pergh, serius mencabar beb! Klu-klu memang tak dicapai dek akal oleh I yang baru main nie. Yang lagi dua orang tu pernah main tapi bilik lain. Ada laa jugak I menyumbang untuk few of the clues. Not bad. Heh heh.

Kami menggunakan sepenuhnya kedua-dua talian hayat, and guess what? Kami tetap kalah! Hahahah!! Mana nak sangka ada pendrive kat tingkap tu kan? Haa kan da bagi klu bocor. Lol.

Keluar je dari bilik tu memang masing-masing tak puas hati laa kan. Rasa nak main lagi sekali jer haha. Tapi dah tak adventure laa kan. Baik try situation rooms lain pulak. Which is next time :-)

Nevertheless, I had an amazing and awesome times with my beloved unimates on my birthday celebrations. Thanks girls! I love uols!!

The faces of the losers.






We had Tokyo Kitchen for lunch. Sushi, udon mee. Ittadakimasu.

And this, is my favourite of all <3

Ya Allah, thank You for Your blessings..

 I <3 MY FRIENDS!!

Pencinta Novel Melayu

Saya ada seorang kawan ofis berpangkat kakak. Hobi beliau bukan setakat membaca novel-novel Melayu, tetapi juga mengumpulnya. Tak cukup dengan baca dan kumpul, yang mana ada adaptasi ke drama tv semuanya pun tengok. Yang kagum, boleh habiskan bacaan dalam masa yang amat singkat, siap ulang lagi. Yang lagi kagum, novel lama yang baru diadaptasi pun beliau masih boleh ingat jalan ceritanya.

Itulah namanya penangan bila dah minat tu, ada je cara nak buat sampai dapat :-)

Dah lebih 3 kali ikut akak nie ke kedai buku tolong pilih novel. Sebab yang tukang pinjamnya I laa jugak. Kedai yang kami selalu tuju adalah Kedai Buku 1 Malaysia di UTC (juga dikenali sebagai Puduraya) sebab sini ada diskaun 15% dan boleh bayar guna kad kredit. Kedai buku Pustaka Minerva kat Jalan TAR tu diskaun sampai 20% tapi hanya bayaran tunai sahaja diterima.

Bila dah selalu ke Kedai Buku 1 Malaysia sebab boleh bayar dengan kad kredit, agak-agak uols berapa banyak novel akak nie beli sekali pegi?

Mana taknya akak nie jadi supplier novel Melayu untuk I?

Nie kira sikit. Sekejap je habis nie. Usually beliau akan buat sedikit research dan review tentang mana novel yang best. Siap ada list ok. Ada laa jugak tersasar dari list bila I tolong suggest novel yang nampak menarik lepas baca sinopsis dan jugak suggestions novel bestseller di kaunter bayaran. Masa tu mulalah rambang mata nak pilih mana satu untuk cukupkan bajet.

Dalam 9 buah novel di dalam gambar, salah satunya I yang punye. Kalau rajin, tekalah yang mana satu.

The nRelate for blogger and Mama's birthday celebration with durians

I was reading my previous blog posts picked by nRelate (substitute plug-in to LinkWithin) at the end of every post. I chose to read the old posts back in 2008 and 2009, when I was super active in blogging, when blogging and blog-hopping were the in-thing, and you keep receiving comments from your blog followers @ friends. Ah, those days...

And I was like,

"Oh man, I can't believe I wrote those entries?"

"My English was so smooth back then"

"What an emotional entry.."

At one point, I decided to stop 'exposing' my life through blogging. I thought some things better kept untold, coz I know myself who loves to share about every single thing happening in her life like not impacting other's. But hey, that was silly me who can't control herself. I am in better control now.

But yesterday (here you go again), it is my mom's birthday! I just cannot not sharing this. (Oh my English).

Yeah, nowadays my English is getting poorer. Please bear with me while I'm improving. Hey, that's the benefits of blogging in English! Although of course I will blog in Malay some.

Back to my mom's birthday story, 5th January of every year is her day. That morning, she was on her way back to KL from Kedah when me and my sister were googling restaurants for dinner celebration. While we were finalizing places, my eldest brother whatsapp-ed me on my plan for our beloved mother. He said that he and family were at One Utama. Called my mother on her locations and she was near Simpang Pulai, planning to buy durians! Ok, that was quite near to KL already. I told mom that brother and family is coming over for lunch, so I cancelled the dinner plan, informed my brother on lunch celebration instead.  

Choosing lunch menu is super easy. Call Domino's Pizza.

Birthday cake? Nah, that was so common. We had better substitute. 

Durians, rambutans, mangosteens. Bought by the birthday girl.

So much for a mother's birthday celebration. We <3 you Mama!

How I spend my new year in 2014

1. Trying to be creative, setting up my own blogger header

The domain www.iynasomar.com has expired. I decided to stick with my original domain www.e-nasz.blogspot.com. Somehow it sounds more friendly to me.

To challenge myself for a fresh-2014-new-blog-look, I wanna try designing my own blogger header. Thanks to PicMonkey photo editor and tutorial from this blog, this so-not-creative-person manage to create one. An amateur looking one is already a success for a first timer. The current header is the second design which the idea came when I was taking a bath. Good ideas always come in the shower huh?

This is my first design:

 I always regard myself as a non-creative person. This new year has changed my perspective. Never thought I have hidden talent in designing. I believe with right guidance, my talent can go far. I just need to prove myself more than this.

2. Finishing up a Malay novel

Borrowed this novel from a colleague like two months ago. At that time I was searching for an activity that can brighten up my life while waiting for my Candy Crush gaining its full live. Since I did addicted to reading Malay novels before and claimed that my hobby is reading, I think it is time to have my hobby back. Looks like I took longer time than usual to finish up ONE Malay novel. Don't get me wrong, the novel is a very good story though. I did cry few times at reading it. It's just that bigger things than limited lives of Candy Crush happened that requires more of my attention. However I told myself to complete reading and return it back by 2nd January 2014. Focus and reading it with passion and full of heart, it reaches the owner's hand a day later because the owner was on leave. Nevertheless, I did it! Yeay Alhamdulillah. Another achievement for me.


3. Blog spring cleaning

Orang Melayu kata "bersihkan sawang". And that's what I did. Customizing, changing layout here and there, deciding on two-column or three-column blog etc etc. I just want my blog to be as simple and legible as it can be. Three column blog might just seemed to be "full", but as at today I found it the best way to differentiate my personal on the right, and things that I suitably use and want to share with all beautiful readers out there on the left. Repeat, ONLY the things that I use BEST. Not surprisingly, it's from the same label..BUT..more product sharing from different label coming on way, insyaAllah. Sharing for the sake of people who are unknowingly having the same problems challenges as I am before and still. Unstable hormones.


So that's about it on how my new year day was filled. I am hoping a blessed and prosperous year for myself and family.

Let's kick off 2014!

Two thousand forteen

Hi Beautiful Readers!

Phew, it's been a while. I'm telling you it is indeed a challenge to leave the only world that I feel very comfortable to share my stories. Writing makes it so easy than looking into someone's eyes and I need to make gestures just to make my stories lively. Anyhow, I'm glad that I've been 'away' for a while. These 5 months does manage to turn my life from the lowest level, climbing up high. Well, everyone would have this one quiet time, only different period of time.

So, closing up the old book, let's write a new one!

Have a blessed year of 2014 ahead.

Happy New Year!

Tanda-Tanda Malam Lailatul Qadar Mengikut Keterangan Hadis

Hi Beautiful Readers,

Quite a while tak update. Been occupied lately. The first two weekends balik utara, business and holiday. Many sets of Premium Beautiful, boxes of BB Plus Collagen and bottles of Marine Essence Bodywash and Shampoo sold out. Alhamdulillah, rezeki mereka dan saya di bulan Ramadhan. The recent weekend pulak da start persiapan raya. Baju raya, tudung raya, kasut raya, rumah pun nak raya. Sejak melangkah masuk ke rumah 'baru' awal tahun nie, banyak lagi keperluan tak lengkap. So insyaAllah, raya tahun nie lebih bermakna, apatah lagi bila mama pun puas hati rumah dah hampir lengkap :-)

How's your Ramadhan so far? Da masuk hari ke-20 kita berpuasa. Rasa cepat je masa berlalu kan? Da masuk 10 hari terakhir Ramadhan yang penuh kemuliaan, di mana salah satu malamnya dijanjikan Malam Lailatul Qadar yakni malam yang lebih baik dari seribu bulan. Amacam, dah ready nak mencari malam yang lebih baik dari seribu bulan? Cepat-cepat cari dengan bersungguh-sungguh tau sebab kita tak tau lagi kita akan sempat jumpa tak Ramadhan tahun depan :-)

TANDA-TANDA MALAM LAILATUL QADAR MENGIKUT KETERANGAN HADIS

Sumber klik sini dan sini

Diantara kita mungkin pernah mendengar tanda-tanda malam lailatul qadar yang telah tersebar di masyarakat luas. Sebagian kaum muslimin awam memiliki beragam khurofat dan keyakinan bathil seputar tanda-tanda lailatul qadar, diantaranya: pohon sujud, bangunan-bangunan tidur, air tawar berubah asin, anjing-anjing tidak menggonggong, dan beberapa tanda yang jelas bathil dan rusak. Maka dalam masalah ini keyakinan tersebut tidak boleh diyakini kecuali berdasarkan atas dalil, sedangkan tanda-tanda di atas sudah jelas kebathilannya karena tidak adanya dalil baik dari al-Quran ataupun hadist yang mendukungnya. Lalu bagaimanakah tanda-tanda yang benar berkenaan dengan malam yang mulia ini ?

Nabi shallallahu’alaihi wa sallam pernah mengabarkan kita di beberapa sabda beliau tentang tanda-tandanya, yaitu:

1. Udara dan suasana pagi yang tenang

Ibnu Abbas radliyallahu’anhu berkata: Rasulullah shallahu’alaihi wa sallam bersabda:

“Lailatul qadar adalah malam tentram dan tenang, tidak terlalu panas dan tidak pula terlalu dingin, esok paginya sang surya terbit dengan sinar lemah berwarna merah” (Hadist hasan)

2. Cahaya mentari lemah, cerah tak bersinar kuat keesokannya

Dari Ubay bin Ka’ab radliyallahu’anhu, bahwasanya Rasulullah shallahu’alaihi wa sallam bersabda:

“Keesokan hari malam lailatul qadar matahari terbit hingga tinggi tanpa sinar bak nampan” (HR Muslim)

3. Terkadang terbawa dalam mimpi

Seperti yang terkadang dialami oleh sebagian sahabat Nabi radliyallahu’anhum

4. Bulan nampak separuh bulatan

Abu Hurairoh radliyallahu’anhu pernah bertutur: Kami pernah berdiskusi tentang lailatul qadar di sisi Rasulullah shallahu’alaihi wa sallam, beliau berkata,

“Siapakah dari kalian yang masih ingat tatkala bulan muncul, yang berukuran separuh nampan.” (HR. Muslim)

5. Malam yang terang, tidak panas, tidak dingin, tidak ada awan, tidak hujan, tidak ada angin kencang dan tidak ada yang dilempar pada malam itu dengan bintang (lemparan meteor bagi setan)

Sebagaimana sebuah hadits, dari Watsilah bin al-Asqo’ dari Rasulullah shallallahu’alaihi wa sallam:

“Lailatul qadar adalah malam yang terang, tidak panas, tidak dingin, tidak ada awan, tidak hujan, tidak ada angin kencang dan tidak ada yang dilempar pada malam itu dengan bintang (lemparan meteor bagi setan)” (HR. at-Thobroni dalam al-Mu’jam al-Kabir 22/59 dengan sanad hasan)

6. Orang yang beribadah pada malam tersebut merasakan lezatnya ibadah, ketenangan hati dan kenikmatan bermunajat kepada Rabb-nya tidak seperti malam-malam lainnya.

Wallahua’lam

Yang pasti, ambil peluang banyakkan membaca doa di bawah sepanjang 10 hari terakhir Ramadhan nie. InsyaAllah, usaha kita tidak pernah akan disia-siakan Allah S.W.T. yang Amat Baik :-)

SELAMAT BERAMAL :-D

p/s: jangan lupa bayar zakat fitrah bagi siapa dah mampu tu..hee..

Hukum Hidup

Nak senang, tapi tak nak susah dulu..

Nak cantik/sihat, tapi tak nak cuba/usaha dulu..

Sesetengah orang dilahirkan senang..

Sesetengah orang dilahirkan cantik/sihat..

Rezeki Allah Taala jua yang tentukan.

Tapi jangan dilupa,

Dilahirkan senang, bermakna ada kesusahan lain yang kita tak nampak..

Dilahirkan cantik/sihat, bermakna ada kekurangan lain yang kita tak nampak..

Dan kita, dilahirkan dengan segala 'kesusahan dan kekurangan lain' itu, yang bagi kita adalah satu kelebihan.

Kelebihan untuk mereka, kekurangan bagi kita..

Kekurangan untuk mereka, kelebihan untuk kita..

At the end of the day, masing-masing ingin mencukupkan kekurangan, di samping berusaha mengekalkan kelebihan.

Contoh:

Orang yang dilahirkan cantik, mungkin lahir dari keluarga yang kurang bahagia. Dia pasti akan berusaha membina keluarga bahagia di samping mengekalkan kecantikan.

Manakala kita, dilahirkan kurang cantik, tapi lahir dalam keluarga penyayang dan bahagia. Kita, pasti akan berusaha untuk kelihatan cantik di samping berusaha mengekalkan keluarga penyayang dan bahagia.

Akhirnya, manusia sebenarnya memang tidak pernah puas. Cuma antara nampak dengan tidak. Antara motif yang bersifat fizikal atau melibatkan emosi.

Apapun, itu bukan bermakna kita tidak bersyukur. Azali kelemahan manusia membuatkan diri sentiasa ingin improve dalam setiap aspek.

Sesuatu yang bagus bukan?

Well, bergantung kepada niat dan cara kita melakukannya.

Namun yang pasti, setiap kejayaan memerlukan pengorbanan.

Erti kejayaan subjektif buat setiap individu.

Nak senang, perlu susah dulu..

Nak cantik/sihat, perlu cuba/usaha dulu..

Itulah hukum hidup.

Sesak nafas di negara sendiri

Tak dinafikan, berita kenaikan harga ayam kepada RM9.00 sekilo mendorong aku mengeluarkan entri ini. Actually it has been a while since I wanna write this, finally there is a push factor for me to do so.

Aku sesak nafas di negara sendiri.

Call me 'unpatriotic' or whatsoever, for I have felt to breathe fresher air at the other side of the world. Even though for only 3 years, I would love to claim that special place is my second home.

So here goes, "Impian Masa Depanku" spontaneously. A successful and renowned business mentor in Malaysia, Dr Azizan Osman has taught us to write our dreams, for it is like a submission (doa) to The Only One. Coz what I'm gonna write here, comes straight from the heart.

1. I'm 26 in the year 2013. Single. Looking for a funny, kind, strong-will determination, financially-stable and responsible man that can love me, guide me and my future children towards His true path living along the sunnah. Also willingly to be looking after my beloved mother as well.
2. Once I found 'him', I want us to migrate to New Zealand, preferably the capital city Wellington. I wouldn't mind at Christchurch for a start. We find a job there, any jobs, even fruit picking, cleaning or anything for a living start. I believe in the Malay sayings "rezeki ada di mana-mana jika kita berusaha".
3. I want my future children to have and experience international education that suits them. Children deserve to be happy and enjoy the education, not to be burden by it. My nephew Adam now 5 years old, the teacher complains to his mother saying that Adam finds it hard to turn to page 2 of a book. What do you expect? Today he quits school.
4. Me and my family, we build our harmony and meaningful lives there for few years, build our savings and assets, while helping to settle the existing housing loan, car loan and any other loans in Malaysia. I would not worry of Muslim community over there because no offense, they practice Islam better than we do here. 
5. My mom? Of course I'll bring her together once we settle down.

Call me childish after you read this. Children are full of imagination and are enthusiast with it. Children believe their imagination is true and work for it. We used to be that child. Where is that child now?

I would appreciate if you, Beautiful Readers can pray for my dreams come true after reading this.

Thank you Beautiful Readers.

Love,

Iynas Omar
