Saya ada seorang sahabat yg saya kenal semasa asasi dulu. Ya, dialah sahabat saya yg pertama; satu-satunya kawan yg saya boleh gelarkn dia sbgai sahabat, dan saya sayang dia lebih daripada diri saya sendiri.
Sungguh tak sangka yang saya dipertemukan dgn seorang kawan seperti dia. Tutur katanya, sifat peribadinya sungguh menarik perhatian saya seta kawan2 lain. Saya selesa berkawan dgnnya semasa asasi dulu. Dia saya sudah anggap mcm abg saya sendiri.
Gelak tawa, sedih, semua masalah yg ada kami kongsi bersama. Ilmu agama yg dipelajari melalui usrah dan sbgainya juga kami kongsi. Ada kalanya saya sedih, dia cuba tenangkan saya. Bila saya xtau apa2 yg saya belajar semasa lecture, dia tolong ajarkn saya; top student katakan. Simply put, bnyk kebaikan yg dia telah lakukan terhadap saya. Xdpt nk balas budi atas apa yg dia telah lakukan.
Kini, setelah tamatnya program asasi ni, Alhamdulillah kami masih lagi keep in touch, bertnya khabar, kongsi ilmu dan juga masalah, jika ada. Dialah teman ketika susah mahupun senang, bersyukur dpt bertemu dgn orng sperti dia.
Andai kata kami diizinkan untuk sambung degree bersama, Alhamdulillah. Klau tidak, mungkin tiada rezeki. Sedih, tetapi bersyukur kerana Allah telah pinjamkn saya seorang teman seperti dia, yg telah membimbing saya. Walaupun hanya setahun pertemuan kita, tp saya xkn lupakn segala apa yg berlaku antara kami berdua.
Saya sayang Amir Bin Mohd Rawi. Uhibbukafillah abadan abada.
Moga saya masuk syurga bersama dengan dia insyaAllah.

Time.
My best friend shared this with me and I would like to share this with others as well. :)
Imam Al-Ghazali stated that the closest thing to us in this world is ‘DEATH’ and the furthest from us in this world is 'THE PAST'.
With that being said, it's impossible for us to go back in time even for a second yet with the technology we have nowadays.
Remember that Time is a blessing. Thus, organize your time and fill it with prayer, charity, or such so that your time is blessed and not squandered.

Friends? Friendship?
Assalamualaikum. Good evening.
Repost from my facebook notes. Feel free to read. hehe
Friends will always make promises to each other. Friendship is something a lot of people fall back upon when family or all else fails or simply as a substitute. We all want to spend as much time as we can with our friends because they make us feel joy and comfortable with as most memorable moments or funny moments are spent with our friends. They are open to one another, share the same interests and comfortable with each other. But then, sometimes friendship can fail. A simple word or two, a good-friendship can end in a blink of an eye before you know it. Real friendship learns to share, forgive, tolerate,understand and love. Although with no doubt sometimes we want the attention to ourselves. Let’s be frank, we all want to feel loved by our friends, but sometimes we don’t always get the attention we want. True?
I have to admit that sometimes I wish my own best friend would pay more attention to me. Why? He’s someone who I can talk about everything, day and night. I’m honest with him and let him know when I want the attention; at certain times. Sometimes the situation does get out of hand, like I’m told that I am sort of a “drama queen” of the friendship. We’re both opposites of each other personality wise somehow since he knew my background,but share some of the same interests. The main point is, I needed to learn how to share. He has friends too. My life doesn’t revolve around him. So I learn to be appreciative of the things he does for me.
Sometimes, we never take the time to look back and see what our friends have done for us. Just because they’re our friends, we sometimes tend to forget to thank them. Then we realize they have helped us without expecting any reward. Why? Because they love us. They would rather accept the pain than seeing their friends suffering from that. You realize the countless moments they went out of their way to help us, or to spend time with us. Sadly, we never find the time to actually say, “thank you”.
I never thought to realize that sharing my burdens with my best friend would weigh him down. I didn’t know until I argued about loyalty and commitment to one’s friendship. Then I realized how selfish, ignorant, and stupid I was. It wasn’t until I said something without thinking. It took only a few simple words to crack the friendship. I was confused and didn’t understand what I had done wrong. He did the right thing though. We both confronted each other; always. I was wronged and then corrected myself. Our friendship still stands strong because of honesty and love. Communication is essential in maintaining one’s friendship. Without it, nobody would be able to understand each other. But I’ve learn that our friendship goes beyond words spoken or even hanging out with each other.
Friendships within groups are always filled with ‘Jalousie’;which means jealousy in French. As I stated before, we all want attention from our friends. Why is this though? Is it because you just have the need to feel loved? Well, it’s different for each individual. Sometimes it could also be that you are in love with this person, and you just want to spend every moment with them because friendship is the only way you can stay close to them. Either way, overly-jealous friends could kill a friendship. Take note.
How did this occur? Most jealousy occurs between two people.They both enjoy the company of one another, but sometimes that “need” is unbalanced. One needs the other more, but when the person they need starts to pay attention to other people or is occupied by other things, jealousy tends to make its appearance, like what I had been through with my friend. You will try anything in your power and possession to try and get their attention, at all cost. You keep reminding them to make time for you, as the only time I had with him is usually in between Maghrib and Isya prayers – both after sundown. First you’re patient about it, but that patience will soon run dry. Then, a seed of hatred starts to germinate inside your heart and thus, a drama is born. You turn possesive and want your life to revolve around them. You seek to destroy their friends or make their friends look bad in front of them, making yourself look like the angel of the friendship. No, it’s not meant to be that way. Our friends are humans too. They do not play a role as a toy that you can just takeout of a toy box and start playing or talking with.
With that being said, I tried to ask myself again. What am I trying to achieve? What is my goal? Sometimes I would sit at a corner and try to recall things that I had been through. Am I doing it right? Am I being a good friend to him? I kept asking myself those types of questions. I know sometimes I can be too “controlling” as in my case, but he’s the one that always there for me, to talk things through, to seek advice, and most importantly, a shoulder to cry on. I’m a gentle person, that’s why I tend to get somewhat emo-ish and he’s the person that I will seek, when such things arise. I find it hard to accept when he started to ignore me, as someone else started to appear out of nowhere, and yet always by his side, gaining all the advantage he could get as my best friend is an intelligent guy, leaving me alone having bad thoughts since then; which is not good. How can I not be jealous, as he has a lot of friends, yet they are the good ones, just have a look on his facebook profile, then you will know. Maybe out of 100000+ friends,I’ll be somewhere at the bottom or not even listed among his friends, oh come on! He met me only for a year, so don’t expect too much. I hope I’m wrong though. I can’t remember how many times I cried due to this, I seriously can’t,yet I’m literally crying right now as I’m writing this piece.
To be honest, I rarely have friends like he does, a true friend that is. He has a lot of them, compared to me; I could even count them with my fingers. That’s why he’s a person I always look up to, communicate with, share, laugh, cry, etc. As far as I can see, words doesn’t seem to express emotions, but believe me, it took me a while to gain my strength back in order to complete this. Laying all emotions on the floor is not an easy task. Now, I could only wish that he thinks of me as an important figure during my college days, just like I did towards him.
So, note to self especially, stop thinking about ourselves and be appreciative that your friend at least talks to you, or is worried when you give the odd message. Still in my case, did he even realize that something is wrong with his own best friend; me? I don’t know. Then again, I don’t even know whether he thinks of me as his best friend in first place, I could go crazy just thinking about it though.
So, I’ve made an oath to myself. Trying to suppress my emotions will be my main goal, as I don’t like to be in that place ever again,a place where all I can think of is 'hate'. If you want to be a real friend,you yourself have to be strong enough to carry their burdens. Don’t fall with them when they’re down, you’re meant to pick them up. A friend is meant to bean encouragement, a source of joy, not a person who will assist you in your fall. They’re there to catch you, not to IGNORE you.
We all have to admit it. We’ve all been jealous at one stage and also been the victim of a jealous friend. Still true-friendship lies beyond jealousy. There needs to be understand, forgiveness, communication and love.How else does a friendship work? Take time to thank your friend for at least trying to be there for you. okay? Peace.

Do Not Be a Sycophant !
Assalamualaikum readers! I would like to share something, regarding..sycophants!
Sycophant? what does that mean?
It is defined as a person who overly flatters someone in authority for personal gain. Yeah, more like a self-seeker. They will try everything in their possession to please someone for their own personal benefit.
Don't assume the personality of someone else or argue and speak in defense of others, it is perpetual affliction; a never ending pain.
Many of those who forget themselves, their voice, their movements, their conditions to fuse into the personality of others. So, it will lead to beseeching others and destitution of essence and self-importance.
Keep in mind that no two persons match a single form, so why will they be the same in endowments and conduct? You are something else, your kind has never been had in history and your kind will never come to the world. Thus, do not ram yourself into the vault of blind following, imitation and dissolution (to fit in into people's personality)
Allah says in the Quran:
"For every nation there's a direction to which they face." (Al-Baqarah: 148)
So, live as you are created. Do not change your voice, do not alter your accent or such. Rectify yourself with the revelation: the Quran and the Sunnah as explained by the pious predecessors rather than destroying yourself by trying to be like others.
You have a distinct taste and color and the world needs you with this color and taste because you were created like that; and thus people will know you like that. So, no one should be a sycophant!
A reminder, the variation in our colors, tongues, endowments and abilities are from the signs of Allah the Almighty and sublime. So, do not ever deny His signs! ^_^

Remember Me Always
Remember Me Always
So many memories we've made together
As the years have slowly passed
But our laughter drowned them all out.
Sharing my deepest-most secrets
Until three in the morning at your house.
Talking forever about things
Until our words just ran out.
But now you must leave,
And I stay behind.
Who will I call
When I just need to talk?
Who will you lean on
When your problems weigh you down?
Who will laugh at my jokes?
Who will make you smile?
I can't tell you the answers
To the questions I have.
But I want you to know
I will always love you as a friend.
And when your heart is troubled,
I want you to think of me.
Remember the times of joy
We have shared
And maybe it will make you smile.
And since you can't take me with you,
Take the memories we have made
And cherish them
As I always will.

The Past Is Gone
Recalling the past, reacting to it and being sad about its events that brought sorrow and grief is stupidity and madness, downing the will and wasting the present existence.
The dossier of the past, in the sight of the wise, is gone and is not recounted; it will be forever locked up in the dungeons of the forgotten, fettered with a strong rope in the prisons of disregard and so, it will never find its way out. It will be put under lock so that it does not see the light, for it is gone and is over.
Neither will sorrow bring it back, nor will grief put it right nor will sadness amend it. No vexation will reenact it because it is irrecoverable!! Do not live in the nightmare of the past, under the shade of the missed.
Take yourself out of the phantasm of the past; do you want to return the river to its fountain, the sun to its place of rise, the child to its mother's womb, the milk to the udder, and the tears to the eye??
Certainly, your reacting to the past, being restless due to it and been burnt by its flame and tragically hurled on its doorstep will make you live in fear, fright and panic.
Reading form the pages of past is inefficient use of the present, wasting effort and balling up precious time. There is no need exhuming the corpses of the past times and bringing back the sorrows that turned history.
The one who returns to the past is like the one who mills flour which is basically pulverized, and the one sawing sawdust. In the past, it was said regarding the one who cries over the spilled milk: you cannot bring back life, the dead in the grave.
The problem with us is that we fall short regarding the present and get busy with our past, we do not pay attention to our slackness but we weep over the past ruins. If the men and jinns gather together to bring back what has passed they will not able to, because this is the real impossibility.
The people do not look at the point at the past and they do not turn to the back for the wind moves onward and the water flows ahead. So, do not contradict the rule of existence. :)

A book of friendship.
Assalamualaikum readers!
I'm bored. It's around 3 am in the morning and I'm still awake! yeah, blame it on the hormone inside me; melatonin! guess that my pineal gland doesn't do its job efficiently i guess..sigh~
*poyo jadi student bio* :P
What am I sayin'? haha! merepek pepagi buta ni. dah la. lets move on..wuu~
Actually i had just completed reading the second chapter of Relasi. Relasi? what kind of a book is that? well let me appease your curiosity alright. I'll try to put into simple words to help you guys get a picture of what is it all about. hee~
Relasi is a novel written by Hilal Asyraf. Basically, it's a story of a true friendship, which the main character in this novel is searching for; the meaning of it, and how do you get it. Well i can't say much because I just started reading few days ago, so I can't give a full review. sorry.
But it you're interested, you can always purchase it online or just get one directly through book fairs etc..cause they are rarely sold at bookshops; well that's unfortunate. Nevertheless, I can safely say it has a good storyline, so you wont feel somewhat regretful when you buy one. :)
Alright, that's all for now. mornight.
Salam sayyidul ayyam. :))
p/s: Shoutout to my best friend Amir mro on the upcoming post. hehe.
I'm a newbie.
Assalamualaikum and good evening people!
I'm new in this world~ haha........*awkward moment* seriously xtau nk mulakan mcm mana.
Mohon beri tunjuk ajar ye kawan2 semua.
I'll try my best to keep this blog somewhat 'alive' with posts and updates from time to time insyaAllah. hehe
So guys, Happy reading. :)
