Allahuakbar!
tatkala sunyi melanda
iblis bersenyum
syaitan mengulit
tatkala airmata berguguran
iblis menadah
syaitan semakin menangguk
tatkala hati tersentak
iblis terkejut
syaitan kerisauan
tatkala hati tersedar
iblis menangis
syaitan kehampaan
tatkala hati menyebut Allah
bibir & hati mula berzikir
iblis & syaitan lari bertempiaran
Ya Allah, ampunilah dosaku. tatkala hati sya kesunyian, iblis syaitan mengulit sya ke arah yang salah. syukur alhamdulillah, Allah menyinar kesedaran ke dalam hati sya. kerinduan & kesunyian yang melanda bukanlah untuk sesiapa tetapi kepada Allah. sya merindui Allah! Allahuakbar!

bug bites
lately, the lonely bug has been biting me quite frequently.
i don't think it's because we've been together for too long ... but maybe it's because we've been doing our own thing for too long. him with his work and me with the rest of our life - family, friends etc.
i'd feel the most whenever he goes out of town.
noon today he flew to Kuching and will be flying home at 10pm on wednesday from Miri.
where am i? at my parents'. i don't think i could be home alone tonight. the bug bit me quite early in the day today.
i miss you, abang.

non-alchoholic drinks & lifestyle
what's our latest food affair?
chicken mandy, lamb kabsa, falafel, hommus, babaganoush etc ... Arab food! all in good memory of the original cuisine in Mekah. personally, i prefer the one in Mekah :o)
we've been visiting Wadi Hadramawt on Jalan Ampang, Sahara Tent & Zam Zam in Section 9, Shah Alam.
all are good with individual hits & misses.
we were at Zam Zam again tonight but this time it's take-away.
while waiting for our order, i observed the other patrons. on most tables i see similar bottles of non-alchoholic drinks.
two things bothered me when i saw this.
one:
we know we can't drink alchoholic drinks but we're making way for non-alchoholic/sparkling drinks. are they really 100% true? maybe we don't get drunk from drinking them but .... i don't know. am abit unsure about the whole thing.
two:
the other thing that is bothering me is that we are introducing the western culture to our young ones. ok, you're not drinking the real thing but you are mimicking the gestures. these 'beverages' come is similar shaped bottles. soon, holding a beer bottle won't feel wrong because your hands are used to holding a similar bottle.
i've even seen families drinking sparkling drinks raising their glasses wishing 'cheers!' just for fun! adults can reason out, 'oh... it's just for fun'. but what about the young ones? the ones who are just joining in for fun.the youngs ones who think this is real, this is how & what they should drink to celebrate.
what i see in the future for these youngsters is that they become accustom to the culture of raising glasses, 'cheers' and holding similar beer-shaped bottles. who will check what they drink when they grow older? soon enough they will leave the nest to pursue studies/work, facing peer pressure (or any pressure for that matter) and soon 'GRADUATE' from holding/drinking non-alchoholic drinks to the real ones because of familiarity? how would they know how a real beer tastes when it's just a different taste from the non-alchoholic drinks they have had. getting drunk? hmm... once they're hooked on the taste, getting drunk is just a side-effect. and if religion is not strong in their hearts, drinking will go on and on ....
i shudder at the thought and am also not surprise if it (already) happens.
look at how our youngs ones live their lives today? it doesn't matter race. we are all influenced by the western culture through the media. as parents/the older generation (wiser?), we should set a better example and not get caught in the hype ourselves and instill stronger faith in our religion. what we do & digest does have implications.
there are many other drinks we can drink & ways to celebrate. lets not mimick the western custom/style if it can harm our religion, being & future.
i am only a small being but i hope my views will create awareness and help others to make better decisions.

i miss my brothers
at this very second, as i type, i miss my brothers.
i miss them so much.
but oddly enough, i don't remember much about having good times with them when we were young.
what i remember are mostly our fights hehehe ... maybe it's because i am the only girl with two lil brothers who always played together, left me out & ganged up on me when they what something or just to tease me.
i'm 2 years older from Mahd and 4 years older from Muhd.
Mahd is always an 'enemy' because our age is close and we seem to 'fight' to be the eldest. as much as we always bicker, i know he is my protector. he is the protective one. a strong man with the most caring & loving heart. i am proud that he is a Major now with the 10th Paratrooper Brigade in Melaka.
Mud is the baby. he seems to be independent but i'm the one who always looks after him. i think i pamper him since he was small. i'd always wanted a sister and when he was a baby, i usually dress him up in costumes & jewelry hahaha ... he always gets upset whenever i remind him of those memories. he has his own business and i think he's still trying to find the right thing for him to venture into. i wish him all the best.
now all grown up with their own family, we seldom see each other. Mahd lives & works in Melaka but his wife & son live is Kajang. his wife is also in uniform with Kajang's Women Prison. Mud lives nearby in Bukit Jelutong with his wife & 2 sons.
my nephews are the joy of my life. i seldom see them but i adore them so much! we have yet to get the 3 boys together and get a picture.
i hope to see them all soon. i'm the kind who doesn't like to intrude, so ... i don't always go and find them. i'll wait when they come & visit their parents/grandparents.

Lelama
lelama ... terasa macam timba cari perigi
lelama ... terpaksa menyepi diri kerana tiada yg sudi
lelama ... jurang mendalam, hati berdiam, bibir bersepi
lelama ... asyik mencuba, mencari dan mencuba lagi
lelama ... bersedih, segan lagi sunyi
lelama ... sya mengalah
lelama ... sya berdoa, Allah ubatilah lukaku, sembuhlah kesedihanku, temanilah hambaMu ini yang disisih
lelama ... tiada dan sya membawa diri

lelama ... sya berdoa, Allah ubatilah lukaku, sembuhlah kesedihanku, temanilah hambaMu ini yang disisih
lelama ... tiada dan sya membawa diri
