Adakalanya….
Hari yang panas dan ceria
Bertukar mendung seketika
Mentari merangkak pergi
Gumpalan awan bertandang sisi
Hati gundah
Tercari-cari
ke mana perginya mentari yang dinanti

Begitulah hidup…
Di saat kau selesa dengan kehidupan
tiba-tiba kau diuji dengan kehilangan
kehilangan nikmat harta
kehilangan nikmat ilmu
kehilangan nikmat rakan dan keluarga
dan kau meratapinya….

Bila kau memandang segalanya dari Tuhanmu…
Yang menciptakan segalanya
yang menimpakan ujian
yang menjadikan sakit hatimu
yang membuatkan keinginanmu terhalang
serta menyusahkan hidupmu
pasti akan damailah hatimu kerna…
masakan Allah sengaja mentakdirkan segalanya untuk sesuatu yang sia-sia

Bukan Allah tak tahu derita hidupmu…
retaknya hatimu
sengsaranya sukmamu
Mungkin itulah yang Dia mahukan
kerna
Dia tahu
Hati yang sebeginilah
selalunya lebih lunak dan mudah untuk
DEKAT dan AKRAB dengan-Nya

Saat hujan turun membasahi hatimu
kau menangis kerna
merasa beratnya ujian tidak tergalas
~SenYumLaH~


kerna

Allah mendatangkan kepadamu pelangi nan indah
selepas hujan sirna kelamnya



‘Allah tidak membebani seseorang melainkan sesuai dengan kesanggupannya. Ia mendapat pahala (dari kebajikan) dan ia mendapat siksa (dari kejahatan) yang dikerjakannya’
(Al-Baqarah:286)

“kerana sesungguhnya sesudah kesulitan itu ada kemudahan, sesungguhnya sesudah kesulitan itu ada kemudahan.”
(Al-Insyirah 5-6)

everyone is beautiful~!

Human being: One of the most beautiful creations of Allah, every part of us is flawless and perfect for its function- mind to think of beautiful wonders of the world, mouth to say beautiful words, ear to listen those beautiful tunes, nose to smell nice scents, eyes to see beautiful views, hands to hold beautiful things, legs to bring us to the beautiful places and the list goes on. Be grateful to Him for making us this beautiful. Alhamdulillah! (Praise be to Allah)

Believe it or not, we can simply be a beautiful person by doing good things for good cause. As Plato said The good is the beautiful! Beauty is not stereotyped to certain group or gender. So, no matter who you are, from which generation or ethnic you belong to, where you live, when your birthday is, how you live your life; everyone deserves to be beautiful! As long as you believe in yourself that you're having such a unique beauty by just simply being you! =)

I would really love to quote this words of wisdom by Audrey Hepburn:
For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.
How soothing! Everything which involves good must be beautiful. Truly, beautiful is an abstract kind of feeling where you cant simply put into words to describe it as beautiful potrays someone or something having a good qualities that give great pleasure to the eye of the beholder, also satisfaction to hear or think about etc. What a wonderful word beautiful is!

There's an analogy comparing human to butterfly, where initially the beauty is not obvious as it's in the later stage. As we grow up and be sensible in what we're doing, we'll appreciate this beautiful life more than we did previously. So as a token of appreciation, we should simply "accessorise" ourselves with all the good behaviours and manners, surround our life with all the good things and do a lot of good deeds to beautify our life..insyaAllah! ^_^ Hence, people will notice how beautiful you are! Everyone is like a butterfly, they start out ugly and awkward and then morph into beautiful graceful butterflies that everyone loves -Drew Barrymore

On a final note, the best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart -Helen Keller. That would be deeply felt in you heart and only you know how it feels. Do feel good about yourself because you're worth it! You're Beautiful! =) So, all the beauties out there, do inspire others as well and say how beautiful they are!

EVERYONE IS BEAUTIFUL! =)

Turkey(1jan-7jan 2010) insya Allah

salam wbt..
really2 cant wait for winter holiday. another 3 weeks to go!!yeay2!!(^_^)but less than 1 week for final xm!uhuhuu...scarrrryyyyy!!!@_@ anyway, since h5 will be going to turki as well sooooon, thought it would be nice to share something on turkey with u.some tips from my senior who went there 2 years ago. hope it helps!~_^

 Pengankutan ke Turki
- Naik flight drp Shannon airport ke London Gatwick airport. naik easyjet airplane ke Istanbul, Turkey.Mendarat di Sabiha Gocken airport. naik local bus ke city centre.Bus fare tak sampai 10 euro dan masa perjalanan dlm setengah jam

 Penginapan di Istanbul
- youth hostel(located very near to Topkapi palace and other sites of attraction like blue mosque) Tak ingat nama hostel nie.Rate for a night tak sampai 10 euro.Tp, bilik dia mcm dorm.satu bilik 7 org. toilet n bathrooms kt luar bilik.kena share dgn org lain. Not recommended. cuba cari yang lagi bagus.

 Tempat Menarik di Turki
1. Topkapi palace
-Istana Sultan Uthmaniyah. Tempat tinggal golongan istana dan pejabat2 pentadbiran. Rugi kalau tak pergi.
2. Aya Sofia
-Gereja.apabila Sultan Muhammad al-Fateh menawan Istanbul/Constantinople, gereja ini ditukar ke masjid.sekarang, dijadikan tmpt tourism
3. Masjid biru,masjid suleiman dan masjid2 yg laen disekitar itu…
-sgt menarik dpt solat di masjid setelah sekian lame tak dpt solat di masjid di galway. Ade satu masjid nie ade ruang study Sultan Muhammad Al-Fateh yg masih dipelihara sehingga kini.dan masjid2 nie sume boleh solat didlmnya. Rasa sgt best sbb masjid2 nie prnh dijejaki dan dihuni oleh tokoh2 islam yg sgt hebat!
4. Shopping at Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar
-They are adjacent to each other. Brg2 murah drp tmpt2 lain dan boleh tawar-menawar! Pashmina, capal, Turkish delight, spices,cushion and bags embroideries, crystals, Turkish dress/blouse, t-shirt, etc.
5. Mkn special fish sandwich kt stall2 tepi laut pd waktu mlm.
6. Istanbul Miniaturk
- Istanbul bahagian Asia. connected by a bridge. Boleh nampak Asian continent drp Istanbul. naik local bus yg fare sgt murah utk ke sana. Boleh juga kalau nk naik tourist bus. Naik local bus sgt menarik sbb blh tgk org2 local yg bersama2 naik bus dan jln2 sekitar yang tourist bus tak lalu. Jd, lg rasa dekat dengan Turkish people.
7. Bursa
- sewa tourism package ke Bursa yg mana mereka menyediakn transportation and tourist guide sekali. 50 euros per peson. can get cheaper if u plan earlier and look for cheaper tourist agent. Pergi ke Bursa naik ferry merentas tasik. Sgt menarik pengalaman. pergi masjid Bursa, bazaar dan dibawa makan di local restaurant-rasa makanan Turkey.

 Jumlah hari perjalanan= 7hari. pun x cukup sbnrnye
 Mata wang= turkey lira. 1 euro=2.21 lira
 Musim pergi= spring
 Jumlah kos = 300 euros

***********************************************************************************

There are loads of 'easy vs difficult' things in our lives. It's either we notice them and try to ignore, or aware of them and try to fight them believing in the willpower that we have. The worst case scenario would be: can't even differentiate between those 2 and don't even bother. So, let's take time to reflect ourselves as we only have a single chance of life. Do challenge ourselves to face all the difficult things and turn them into easy ones. We might find it difficult at the beginning of the journey to step into a new paradigm, but eventually it would be so much easier after a while. If we believe we can, WE CAN! InsyaAllah!! =)
