15 days to Hari Raya

WOOT! WOOT!

Abang driver bus yang handsome is back in action. Wah! macho habis but I was too sleepy to "appreciate" his machoness this morning. Neh!, some other time maybe.

I'm baking again. Yep! Yep! after a very loonnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggg break, I'm heating the oven again. Oh! and this reminds me of the upcoming raya.

Raya Mode: On

Oh! and also to remind myself to get a killer raya heels this year. Yey babeh! Walaupun pada hakikatnya pada hari raya akan berselipar jepun sahaja untuk kemana-mana. I just can't let myself loose man! It's RAYA we're talking about. I'm not planning to waste any of my annual leaves for this upcoming raya. What's the point? My kampung is just 30 minutes away. The uncles and aunties are all within the KL area which obviously will be meeting up with each other on the 1st day of raya itself (which falls on Sunday, Insyaallah). Plus, we were given 4 extra days to celebrate (excluding your own personal holiday leave). Jadi, apakah gunanya pembaziran cuti yang boleh digunakan di masa hadapan? Furthermore, there are just 3 working days left before the weekend. Jadi, simpan cuti.

And I'm giving out duit raya too this year. It's the first year of giving out duit raya instead of receiving (which have been a waited yearly event for me for the past years). Berdebar! Berdebar!

So Raya, I'm counting you now!


p/s: Jangan lupa baca doa Qunut bila semayang terawih nanti ye!


Happy day peeps!

Fadhilat Solat Terawih Malam KeLimaBelas: Semua Malaikat yang menanggung 'Arasy, Kursi, berselawat dan mendoakannya supaya Allah mengampunkannya.

Perbadanan Tabung Pelajaran Tinggi Nasional

I call it PTPT(PU).

Its been 3 months now since I first started paying for the loan I made for my education. Dalam bahasa melayunya, "belum habis belajar sudah ada hutang tunggu". But what the heck, it's for education purposes, jadi mahu tak mahu, hutang tetap hutang.

And I make it as a habit (Cheh! habit konon) to put a side a little bit of my monthly salary to pay for the loan coz I don't want to hold any more education dept for the rest of my life as it has been a burden to me (and to most of the loan holders) to pay for the irrelevant amount of education loan (yang hanya lebih pada bunga dan dividennya sahaja bukan pada the grand total of the loan amount).

While waiting for the bus this morning, I calculated the amount of months and years I have to spend paying for the dept and it came to sum of 4 solid years. 4 years to complete my education loan. 4 YEARS!!!

Jadi konklusinya, dalam masa 4 tahun, tujuan penghidupan saya adalah bukan untuk mendirikan rumahtangga atau memiliki kediaman sendiri atau yang seumpama dengannya tetapi adalah kejayaan dalam melangsaikan hutang PTPTN itu. And that is why I call it PTPT(PU).

Ada mana-mana lelaki kaya, tidak berapa tua dan handsome yang mahu menjadi sugardaddy ku? Boleh tolong bayarkan hutang!

Fadhilat Solat Terawih Malam KeEmpatBelas: Datang Malaikat menyaksikan ia bersembahyang terawih, serta Allah tiada menyesatkannya pada hari Qiamat.

Yes, I do complain

And I complain a lot.

Ok! maybe I crossed over board but due to respect, I would like to express this unsatisfactory I had ever since we started fasting.

Mind me, I don't actually care or bother with what you're going to do with your life nor I, at some point loose anything from any of your actions but please, I say please at least have the courtesy of respecting others who are actually FASTING.

It is totally your business. TOTALLY! And I had nothing against you because at the end of the day, it is actually your life, your kind of style, your own living. And well, I respect that. I don't go judging people by what they do or how they lead their lives. Asal lu tak kacau hidup gua sudah cukup! Baik seseorang itu bukan pada fizikalnya tapi pada hatinya. And I believe that!

But, but making the world to know that you're actually not fasting and having some sort of good smell food around fasting people, THIS IS TOTALLY NOT COOL! Lu tak nak puasa, itu lu punya pasal tapi tolonglah! respect sikit kat orang lain yang puasa. Tapi bila cerita pasal nak pergi buka puasa, lu paling hebat sekali macam lu puasa. Like I said, I have nothing against you cuma kasi respect sikit kat orang lain, cukup!

I am not a devoted muslim myself either. I too sometimes don't practice my religion the way I should be. But despite of any religions, respecting other people is an important role that we should practice in our lives. Itu dinamakan tolerasi!

Sekian terima kasih!

Fadhilat Solat Terawih Malam KeTigaBelas: Datang ia pada hari Qiamat dalam aman sentosa daripada tiap-tiap kejahatan dan keburukan.

Miscalculated

I thought I could catch the 7.30am bus. I thought of going to work early today to start of a fresh, energetic week and also to skip the heavy traffic. I was getting myself ready as usual. The sky was not as bright as its usual. It was way too clowdy just to keep me warned that heavy rain might be coming.

As I reached the bus station, it was empty and I just realized that I'm about 5 minutes late from the 7.30am bus. Well, there's always the next one. When I'm about to sneeze another smelly smells, the rain started pouring. Heavily. The cars started switching on their car's light, the motocycles started stopping at the same bus station and people started squeezing from each other just to prevent from getting wet. It was raining heavily. So there goes my fresh, energetic day. But the smell from the rain reminded me that there's always something good coming out from every hussles. I stood there shivering and still wondering why isn't the bus here yet.

I saw kids dressed in their school uniform soaked as if they were freshly out from the washing machine, I saw motorcyclists stopped halfway and whined about the rain and I heard people like me who waited for the bus whined about the bus which was still nowhere to be seen. And it's all because of the rain.

It stopped the moment the bus arrived. And I'm now in the office feeling very cold and having goosebumps in my stomach at the same time with the thought of it is still 8.30am when it is clearly now 20 minutes away from 10 in the morning.

Judgment

Fadhilat Solat Terawih Malam KeDua Belas: Datang ia pada hari Qiamat dengan muka yang bercahaya (cahaya ibadatnya).
-------------------------------------------

Alhamdulillah, we have reached the 2nd half of Ramadan and i must say, this year is the toughest Ramadan for me so far. Mentally and emotionally. But i'm still hanging, I am still standing.

After all, who are we to judge?
