MGSS.

Hari ni wan (nenek) call suruh mintak kerja di UMP.
Dalam hati kata "Kerja kat sini ada tak?" Antara kampung tarbiyahku, the world's most liveable city for six years running!

Rapuh.


Detik waktu terus berjalan
Berhias gelap dan terang
Suka dan duka tangis dan tawa
Tergores bagai lukisan

Seribu mimpi berjuta sepi
Hadir bagai teman sejati
Di antara lelahnya jiwa
Dalam resah dan air mata
Kupersembahkan kepadaMu
Yang terindah dalam hidupku

Meski ku rapuh dalam langkah
Kadang tak setia kepadaMu
Namun cinta dalam jiwa
Hanyalah padaMu

Maafkanlah bila hati
Tak sempurna mencintaiMu
Dalam dadaku harap hanya
DiriMu yang bertahta

(Aunur Rofiq Lil Firdaus, 2007)
 
It's November 27 again. Greatest reflection on the moments passed.
Ya Allah, ampunilah aku, terimalah amalku dan akhirilah aku di tempat terbaik, jannahMu!
Ameen ameen ameen.

Rindu.


[Sydney Airport, 100714]

Saja throwback. Jelas-jelas rindu.

#26 #first

 
[Port Stephens, 270915]
 
#first sand boarding experience. Should do more physical activities nowadays.

#26 #first

 
#first time cooking non-malaysian cuisine. You name it. Western, Japanese, Mexican, Greek, Moroccan, Korean, Egyptian etc. #first time using unfamiliar vegies, fennel, kale, avocado and what not that you see on tv shows.
 
 
 
 
Saja rindu nak masak makanan pelik-pelik.

Keep holding on.

 
It's already day 21 of the eleventh month, and it's getting tougher everyday.

[Brighton, 260614]
 
Ya Allah, permudahkanlah dan janganlah Engkau susahkan.
Ya Allah jika rezekiku masih di atas langit, turunkanlah. Jika ada di dalam bumi, keluarkanlah. Jika sukar, mudahkanlah. Jika haram, sucikanlah. Jika jauh, dekatkanlah. Limpahkanlah kepadaku segala yang telah Engkau limpahkan kepada hamba-hambaMu yang soleh.
Ammen ameen ameen.

A calm, beautiful Friday. Rise and shine for a better day, a faith and hope.

Reach out to You, cause I admit I'm weak. I sometimes lost my way, and You're still there.
 
Forever I won't be afraid
With You right here I'll be okay
Cause everything about You is the truth
Whenever I call out Your Name
Lift up my hands, bow down to pray
I feel so good, it's all because of You
(Harris Jung, 2015)

#first time ikut kawan-kawan lunch kat lawn, acah-acah mat saleh. Orang makan salad, kita makan nasi. Tekak melayu la katakana haha. Sekarang ni hanya mampu throwback je. Alhamdulillah 'ala kulli hal. Sungguh, nikmat mana lagi yang nak didustakan?

A figure.

 
With one of the most inspiring lecturer of all. Salute!
 
[Laby Theatre, 201014]
 
Being a lecturer, an inspiration, a wonder. I had this conversation again and again. Again and again.
What's left now? Hope and prayers.

#26 #first


[Wildlife Park, 070914]
 
#first kangaroo feeding with the help of my lovely #first naqibah. It was also my #first time handling the SAMPEL group. Again, it was an experimental attempt but I was glad they were around to help. Love!
 

#26 #first

 
[Flagstaff Garden, 280714]
 
#first time solat raya publicly di taman dan #first time beraya tidak bersama keluarga.

[Mt Wellington, 010714]
 
#first time main salji tulen di program nasional pertama di bumi oz. Waktu ni jugak result keluar dan dapat tahu failed satu paper haha. Alhamdulillah 'ala kulli hal. Just cherishing every moment that I had!
 

#26 #first

 
[REB, 240614]
 
This marked the completion of the #first semester. A snap to celebrate the last paper, right after stepping out of the exam building. It was winter, hence the dark background.
 
We were obviously excited but I just knew at that time that the semester won't end very well. However, every cloud has a silver lining. Period.

#26 #first

 
#first love besides al-'adiyaat.
 
[KJRI, 210614]
 
First love is the deepest, and that's why they too shall stay in my heart forever.

We relate to thee their story in truth: they were youths who believed in their Lord, and We advanced them in guidance.
 
Al-Kahfi 18:13
 

#26 #first

 
[Queen Victoria Market, 040514]
 
#first time accidentally eating non-halal food. You can tell how good it is when you see people lining up to get the gem! Fluffy, soft, warm doughnut. Unfortunately it's not halal as they use animal fat and not vegetable substitute. Got to know this days after we ate the doughnut. My second was in a fine-dining restaurant. Seafood salad. Checked on the dressing and it was free of alcohol. Apparently they marinated the seafood with wine! Got to know this from the bitter-sour taste of the dish and that's it no more bite, went to the counter to ask and verified by the chef.
 
Ighfirli Ya Rabb!
 
Moral of the story. Tabayyun! Check and re-check. Not once, but always. Period.

Anytime.

I'll be there to save the day

I'm only one call away

#26 #first

 
Gara-gara godek folder semalam, jumpa gambar tiga manusia ni. Tipu kata tak rindu. Rindu!
My #first housemates in Melbourne. Ahlul Beyt Khalesyah.
 
[South Yarra, 041114] 
 
Banyak sangat momen-momen pelik dan istimewa bersama. Banyak sangat outing dan aktiviti bersama. Banyak sangat kerenah. Banyak sangat cerita masing-masing. Banyak jugak perangai, tabiat unik, manja dan sebagainya haha. Kesayanganku, semoga kita sentiasa ikhlas..

I miss you.

 
[Waffee, 090915]
 
 [Queen Victoria Market, 200216]
 
The first news feed on my facebook today is the picture (birthday shoutout) of the two people that I love and miss. Two special souls among many more beautiful souls. Hence the post is reminiscing the coffee talk that I had with them because somehow I'm feeling down, not being able to be a good murobbi for them when I was around.
  
Bukan santunku terbungkam
Hanya hatiku berbatas
Tuk mengerti kamu
Maafkanlah aku

(Samsons, 2008)
 
I hope I can always be a better friend and ukhti, albeit the no-longer-naqibah status for both of you. I know you ladies won't be reading this haha, but I'll always pray for you and I hope for nothing but the best for you in this life and the hereafter.

Jilsah.

 
Alhamdulillah tonight was my first time attending jilsah (sitting that replaces mabit) here in Kuantan. Such a pleasant surprise to meet unexpected akhawat at the program. May Allah be pleased with us dear akhawat. Ameen ameen ameen.

[031116]
 
Seorang ukhti bergurau mengenai Surihati Mr Pilot semasa sharing session malam tadi. And hey there I was using a red pilot pen! Love you my Mr Pilot. Dan lagu tema malam tadi, seperti biasa akan terngiang-ngiang dalam kepala.
 
Telah ku mungkiri janjiku lagi
Walau seribu kali
Ku ulang sendiri
Aku takkan tempuh lagi
Apakah kau terima cintaku lagi
Setelah ku berpaling
Dari pandanganMu
Yang kabur kerna jahilnya aku

 Mengapa cintaMu tak pernah hadir
Subur dalam jiwaku
Agarku tetap bahagia
Tanpa cintaku tetaplah Kau di sana
Aku tanpa cintaMu
Bagai layang-layang terputus talinya

Masihkah ada sekelumit belas
Mengemis kasihMu Tuhan
Untukku berpaut dan bersandar
Aku di sini kan tetap terus mencuba
Untuk beroleh cintaMu
Walau ranjaunya menusuk pedih

#26 #first


I'm starting off my #26 NaBloPoMo challenge with my #first line. This is obviously challenging for me as it requires everyday commitment (which is now not my forte) but I'll try my very best!

[Frankston, 230214]

Sehari selepas mula-mula menjejakkan kaki di bumi down under, gigih berjaulah sebelum sekolah bermula dan ini memang kenangan manis menjadi adik tajmik di sini. I was obviously thrilled to start the new journey at that moment, not knowing the rest of the first semester will be a very tough and rough one haha. Apa pun, tadabbur quran pada hari tu memang diingati sampai sekarang setiap kali berkelana ke tempat orang. Setiap kali.
Sesungguhnya pada kejadian langit dan bumi, dan pada pertukaran malam dan siang, ada tanda-tanda (kekuasaan, kebijaksanaan, dan keluasan rahmat Allah) bagi orang-orang yang berakal; (Iaitu) orang-orang yang menyebut dan mengingati Allah semasa mereka berdiri dan duduk dan semasa mereka berbaring mengiring, dan mereka pula memikirkan tentang kejadian langit dan bumi (sambil berkata): "Wahai Tuhan kami! Tidaklah Engkau menjadikan benda-benda ini dengan sia-sia, Maha Suci Engkau, maka peliharalah kami dari azab neraka."

Ali-'Imran 3:190-191

Tidaklah Allah izinkan sesuatu tanpa sebab, maka berdoalah agar tidak kufur nikmat.

Redha.


Tuhan tolonglah bukakan
Cinta dan kasih dalam hidupku
Waktu kan menyepi
Kian pergi membawaku
Saat ternantiku akan rahmatMu

Ku imbasi jalan yang berliku
Penuh gelap bisa dan harusku takutkan
Merantai jiwaku
Berat hatiku menanggung
Usah biar hidupku tuk hanyut lagi

Tanpa redhaMu aku sakit
Menahan rasa pedihnya berdosa
Berikan sinar dalam hatiku
Saat bila Engkau terima ampunanku
Terangi dengan cahaya hikmahMu

(Irfan Haris, 2016)

November is finally here. So it's time for the NaBloPoMo. Turning more and more minimalist as I age, writing much is frankly no longer a desire. Let me just contemplate on the #26 and sketch life. Because in the end, it's His please and bless that I need.
