September 2008


i am no kay-poh, but i do like to read blogs belonging to the friends of my sister’s, just so to know what teenagers nowadays are doing, so that i can keep in touch with their trend, so that we will always have something to talk about and at least, i know whats going on around her.

i dont want to be the katak-bawah-tempurung kinda sister.

i like to see their different interpretations of a certain issues. most of the time, them being the closest of friends, have the same opinion. but i like to see how they put it down in words. some are extreme and some are laid back.

so recently, theres this uproar about some muslim students eating in their school tuckshop(long time no use this words, hor!) during this Ramadhan month. and of course, it triggers the ‘talking’ among other students.

i think my sister did blogged about it, but just a very vague one. she express her displeasure over the situation and stop at that.

some of her other friends, however, decides to pour their hearts out. and creates a big commotion.

of course, some are not happy about it and decides to flood her chatbox, trying to defend oneself. i’m quite surprise that her older sister tampil ke hadapan to defend her too.

if it was my sister who ate in the canteen, in front of other people, during Ramadhan, and someone blogged about her, i’d laugh at her. i’d say ‘Padan Muka.’

i’m no meanie. and i love her very much (and i will defend her rights if i see its right. kalau tidak, sampai bila aku nak defend dia jer?). but hey, every action has its consequences. and if my sister chose to eat(in public during Ramadhan), then she has to accept that people will talk about her. because thats life. people will always talk. no matter where you are. in school, at work, at home, family gathering, everywhere. its her decision, good or bad, she has to accept it. i, as her sister, is responsible for advising her and encourage her to do the right thing. but in the end, its her own decisions. besides, if you really have a good reason to consume food infront of all those people, then, you wouldnt have to try so hard to convince them that you have to eat. ‘biar orang mengata, asalkan kita tahu kita benar‘. you know, like the theory, when a person explained too much, they’re lying.

and remember Atek, every action has its consequences. so, if you study smart, you’ll do well in your o’ level and i believe you will. i pray that you’ll have ketenangan and confidence to answer every single questions for your papers. (side track sekejap, haha.)

eh wait, this post is not meant to point fingers to anyone in particular but just my opinion in the matter.

everywhere we are on mother earth, we are actually contestants on ‘Survivor’. we are a team initially but at the end of the day, everyone is on his own. and only the strong will survive. one way, or another.

MONEY.

everyone is talking about it.

and ALMOST everyone is working hard for it.

and yes, money is IMPORTANT.

those who said they don’t need money to be happy must be living during the stone age era. because, money does play a part in happiness. in fact, in the world we are living now, it plays a huge part in our life.

where will we be without money? no food, no shelter maybe a drink from the rain and where will you get a perfect education? many friends i know are taking a break from studying just so that they can work and save enough money to further their studies.

actually, i am writing this not because i wanna start a huge long winded post about the importance of money. but i just wanna convey a message to one very special person.

although money is important, i just want you to know that it should never be the measure for our love. i need you to know that i dont care if you cant buy me expensive gifts. i dont care if you cant buy me dinner all the time. and i dont care if you cant afford to pay for movies every week.

i couldnt care less if i have to wait another 2 years just so you can buy me those gorgeous shoes. or the bag that i’ve really wanted. i dont care if all you could do is bring me to the beach, cycling all the way. in fact, i love it.

just so you know, all i care from you is your devotion, time, understanding and lotsa love, hugs and kisses (LOL). because sayang, these are the things that money can’t buy.

all the little things that you do, baby, i’m amazed by you.

 

p/s: this only applies when you’re not providing me. it’ll change in 5 years. LOL. don’t worry i wont ask for expensive stuffs. just the ones we need. as long as you fulfill your responsibilities. :)

its unbelievable what slaves go through during those times.

and the way they were punished tortured, for little mistakes, is horrendous.

humans deserve more than that. we are lucky we live in a world, in times where we have a place, a name and famiy and people who appreciates us.

Read the article here to see what i’m talking about.

some people has been commenting that i look *ahem* slimmer.

in fact quite a number of people say that.

and of course i denied. and so does my family members!!! pffffffttttttttt……

wahahahahahaa….

ah malas lah..

see ya next post!

RASULULLAH SAW bersabda:

“Dari Abu Hurairah, berkata: Rasulullah SAW bersabda:
Tidaklah dikatakan berpuasa kerana tidak makan dan tidak minum. Akan tetapi, yang dinamakan berpuasa adalah kerana meninggalkan ucapan sia-sia dan perbuatan yang buruk. Kerana itu, jika ada orang yang memakimu atau berlaku jahil kepadamu, katakanlah(kepadanya): “Aku sedang berpuasa. Aku sedang berpuasa.”

Penjelasan:

Orang yang berpuasa dituntut agar menegah perbuatan yang tidak terpuji. Melayani pertengkaran dengan orang atau melayani cercaan, makian, atau gangguan orang kepada kita adalah termasuk perbuatan tidak terpuji. Begitu pula bila pada saat berpuasa kita menggunjing(what does this means?) atau membicarakan hal yang tidak bermanfaat terhadap akhlak dan ketakwaan kita, maka perbuatan semacam itu menyebabkan puasa kita tidak bermanfaat. Demikian halnya denga berbicara berkaitan dengan perkara lucah, maka ini termasuk dalam perbuatan tidak terpuji.

Orang yang sedang berpuasa tidak boleh melayani pertengkaran atau cercaan orang terhadap dirinya. Bahkan ia diperintahkan oleh agama agar mengatakan kepada orang tersebut bahawa ia sedang berpuasa. Tentangan atau cercaan orang yang jahil kepadanya janganlah dilayani agar puasanya terpelihara dari gangguan yang menghilangkan pahala puasa.

Okay, i get the above in a book titled ‘Amalan Bulan Ramadhan by Muhammad Thalib.

Just sharing with you all, as a reminder, of what to do if we were ticked by someone while we are fasting. Patience is virtue.

SELAMAT MENUNAIKAN IBADAH PUASA DI BULAN MULIA INI, BULAN RAMADHAN. SEMOGA DI BERKATI ALLAH SWT.
INSYALLAH.
