flowers, trees and everything...



"Spring is in the air..
where flowers bloom..
and cricket sings..
and butterflies flutter
their wings.
Not to forget the busy buzzing bees..

hopping from a flower to another..

looking for a sip of the sweet nectar..
makes you wonder..and wonder..
How beautiful it is the creation of Allah..~"


Yay! It's spring.
Though I don't really know when exactly the changes of season take place.
I suspect it's nearly spring as flowers begin to peek out from it's hiding place.
you know what..
I think flowers have powers.
That day, while Jen and I was walking..
feeling frustrated from Linear Algebra class..
Then, we saw a glimpse of the tree up there beside the road..
The tree just stand there beautifully will all those flowers blooming..:)
The other trees are still naked but this one is a fast grower i guess.
Immediately our feelings turn from :( to (:

In the same week,
we received a bouquet of flowers..:)
from kak aisya. The pink one. I think they are lillies.
and the cute yellow one in front are the daffodils..
Those, I bought at my uni.
It's a sale for supporting the cancer council of victoria.
Pretty..rite??

See,,I told you.. flowers have powers..:P
To make you feel happy..
Don't you feel happy just by looking at it?
I do.

I can't wait for the spring break to come.
I want to go to the Tulip Festival.
aah..^_________^

I think I'm not a good gardener.
I tried to plant flowers.
But I think it's dead.

hang on.i'll confirm that.
..
..
yup. i just confirmed it.
the flower is dead.
huu.=_='
that's me.lazy person.
*dush2*
or mungkin sbb busy kot. lupe pasal pokok bunge.heh.alasan!


This is the pic from Geelong. I love trees too :)
Trees with leaves.
Trees with flowers.
Trees with no flowers or leaves..
All of them are pretty in my eyes.

Wonderful right. The thought of all of these are create by the one an only God.
Subhanallah..~

It is God who has made the earth as a cradle for you with roads for you to travel.
e has sent water from the sky to produce various pairs of plants
(20:53)

Not only He created all those creatures, He also knows everything about them.

He has with Him the keys to the unseen which no one knows besides Him.
He knows all that is in the land and the sea. Not a single leaf falls which He would not know.
No single seed exists even in the darkest places of the land, nor anything in the world either wet or dry, that is not kept recorded in the self-evident Book [Luh Mahfuz] (6:59)

All praise to Allah..the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful..~
Hope you have a Good Day!! ^_^

a love letter

To my dear and beloved Ramadhan,

During those 19 years I've lived in this world, I've never quite noticed you before. Truthfully speaking, before this, you were like someone who I knew existed but I didn't really make an effort to know more about you. When we bumped into each other once in a year, I just smiled at you and if you're lucky, sometimes I might said "Hi!" but without further conversation. I knew who you were back then. I knew. But, I just don't have the intention to get to know you for the real you. Forgive me for that, ya Ramadhan.

This year, I've been introduced to you weeks before you came. Weeks before I've finally got to meet you in person. And I've tried to prepare myself. I've many things I planned to do with you. And I wish to fulfill that list. I know, we can only planned but Allah is the one who make it happen. But, it doesn't change the fact that we need to try and make an effort to do what we planned to do.

I heard that there were so many great things happen when you came thousands of year before this. The Muslims fight in Badr, Mecca was opened, the Holy Al-Qur'an was sent down by Allah..and many other great things, subhanallah. I wish I too can achieve great things with you.

Whenever you came along, amazingly, I wanted t0 improve myself to be a better person. So does everyone else. Your presence had affected so many people that everyone wanted to do as many good deeds as they can. But sadly, those goals are just goals and no effort had been done to make it come true.

I took you as granted ya Ramadhan. Now, it strucked me, like the spear that went to Mus'ab bin Umair's chest during Uhud. I don't know if I'll have the chance to meet you again next year. I don't even know if I'm going to meet you tomorrow. This is where I'm wrong all these years. I thought, "Well, next year..next year..I'm going to change myself. Next year, I'm gonna turn over a new leaf." Now, I asked myself. "Why next year? Why not now?".

Oh Ramadhan, how I wish that we can meet you all year round. So, that I can always be cautious in what I'm doing each and every second to get the "berkat" from you Ramadhan. To maintain the momentum until the end of of the period of being with you is hard enough. When in fact, the remaining last days is the most important night of all. It is the night better than a thousand months. The Lailatul Qadr. Because sometimes, I am too focused on Syawal, I forgot about the most important night to be with you. I hope that I'm not going to let that happen again.

And I sincerely hope that, the momentum did not stop after you passed by. I hope when your brothers and sisters..Syawal, Zulkaedah, Zulhijjah, Muharram, Safar, Rabi'ulawal, Rabi'ulakhir, JamadilAwal, JamadilAkhir, Rejab and Sya'aban came along to stop by, I'm going to treat them as I treat you Ramadhan.

So, ya Ramadhan let us be good friends for the remaining days I have with you. Ok? Cool, I hope we can hang out like best buddies ;) InsyaAllah.

good things...

Well hello there..:) Doing good?? Alhamdulillah..~
I just want to share somethings I've got during this past few days..
First of all..I've read this book called "Life is an open secret" by Zabrina A.Bakar. There's a series of this book, and I read this one, titled "You, Me and We"..
And, I must say..It's a GREAT book. It's an islamic book full of advices and humors and something that we really experienced in our daily life..something that we can relate ourselves to..
If you are interested to read a knowledgable
[em,how do i spell this?? o__O] book but having trouble reading a "thick" book [u know what i mean..].Then, try this one..trust me! It's worth it..:)

The way the author wrote the book is so simple, yet informative. You know what..I'll tell you a secret..
[well,,not a secret anymore when I write it here.nvm.] One of my wish is to write a book..[ngeheh.] But, with this erm..how do I say..not-so great writing of mine..I doubt that I can write one..[negative thinking.heh.-__-"]
but, anyway..my point is, ohh , how I wish I can write like that..
*wink* ;) and publish a book..or maybe many books..inspiring books..:D [oh sungguh tinggi cita-cita itu..heh.]
Well, I'm not going to tell you the content. Plagiarism! hehe. Bacelah sendiri!

Second thing, I learnt about taqwa. What is taqwa?
I heard about this one analogy..

[tetiba tulis dalam BM lak ea..payah nak translate dlm BI]

Umar bin Khatab pernah bertanya pada seorang sahabat Rasulullah, Ubay bin Ka'ad tentang apa itu taqwa. Lalu, Ubay pun bertanya kepada Umar, "Pernahkah kamu berjalan dikawasan yg penuh dgn duri?" Umar pun menjawab, "Ya." Pastu, Ubay pun tanya lagi, " Apa yang kamu lakukan?". Pastu, Umar jawab, "Aku sangat berhati-hati berjalan supaya tidak terkena duri itu."Dan Ubay pun berkata, "Itulah takwa".

Warning: Tak ingat the exact word by word bout the story. But, that's the rough outline lah. Yang penting mesejnye tuh. :)

So, get the idea?? InsyaAllah, then the next question you'll want to ask is..
[sori yek campur bm ngan bi ni..(=_=) my vocab is quite limited. xpaham tnya member kat sbelah tu :P]

What's the benefit of taqwa?
[kalo dlm bm nye, ape kelebihan taqwa nih?just in case.hehe]
For this question, open the Al-Qur'an [kalo ade tafsir lagi best kot. kalo leh paham bhs arab xpe]
Surah At-Talaq (65) ayat 2, 4, 5.
Best tak? best kan?? [Pemalas nk tulis.]

Then, the next question you'll ask is, "Macam mane nak bertaqwa tu?" [am I a psychic or what?durh... >_<]

Ok2.Focus2. This is a guideline.

1. Mu'ahadah - mengingat perjanjian dengan Allah. Sbenarnye kan, sebelum roh kita dimasukkan dlm tubuh badan kite, roh kita ade wat perjanjian dgn Allah..Al-Qur'an (7:172). Other than that, everyday, when we perform our prayer, we made our promise too..(Al-fatihah:5) Do you like people breaking promise? No, not for me. I hate that..
So, do you want to break a promise we made to our God? No, rite?
Allah said so, don't break our promise (16:91)

2. Muraqabah - mendekatkan diri dgn Allah..ni macam konsep Ihsan

3. Muhasabah - Reflecting on what we did.. (59:18) I'm sure lots of u know what this is..

4. Mu'aqabah - Ni macam, kalo kita ade buat salah, kita denda diri kita sendiri. Bukan dgn menyakiti tubuh bdn kita secara fizikal.. cth macam, kita mengumpat org lain. Pastu kita kena sedar kita buat kesalahan tu, dan denda diri sendiri cthnye dgn menghafal satu surah..:)

5. Mujahadah - bersungguh-sungguh..cthnye macam Allah beritahu dlm Al-Qur'an (29:69)..

hmm,,hopefully u guys will understand this..I tried my best..:D Another thing that I want to tell you is..
We had a name for our house! It's called "Baitul Bushra"- which mean "Rumah Khabar Gembira" hehe..hopefully, this house will always be filled with good news..insyaAllah..:)

Oh, and other thing, my housemates are addicted with "Kalimaat". It's a card game created by Baba Ali. Cubalah main! Best!

In relation with that..I searched for Baba Ali in You tube and came across this video about Ramadhan since we're few days before Ramadhan..:)
Enjoy it..^_^

And few last words from me..sorry for any mistakes I've done..:) and enjoy ur day.
