Kamu adalah kamu

Wednesday, September 24, 2008

To me,
and to anyone out there who has issues with self-image.
Of physical appearance,
as well as emotional, social, or functional competency.


“Dia menciptakan langit dan bumi dengan tujuan yang benar, Dia membentuk rupamu lalu memperbagus rupamu, dan kepadaNya tempat kembali” (64:3)

“Allah-lah yang menjadikan bumi untukmu sebagai tempat menetap dan langit sebagai atap, dan membentukmu lalu memperindah rupamu serta memberimu rezeki dari yang baik2. Demikianlah Allah, tuhanmu, mahasuci Allah, tuhan seluruh alam” (40:64)

“Dan janganlah kamu merasa lemah, dan jangan pula bersedih hati, sebab kamu paling tinggi darjatnya, jika kamu orang beriman” (3:139)





I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
So don't you bring me down today


Goodbye unhealthy self-esteem,
Hello wholesome gratitude!

Come clean

I am a butterfingers.
I don’t have fair and flawless skin.
I have zero skill.
I’m not a straight-As student.
I do and pick things slow.
I’m sensitive.
I eat more than I need.


I still do jahiliyyah and silly things.
I still hurt people’s feelings.
I’m still dependent in certain things.
I still rarely do exercises despite the food overload.
I still have numerous huge holes needed to be plugged up.
I still waste my money over unnecessary stuff.
I still waste my time daydreaming and procrastinating.


Yet each day I’m trying to be a better person, a better muslimah.
Maybe I’m a bit too slower than anyone else I know, but I’m still trying.


The Great Wall of China wasn’t built in one day.
The telephone wasn’t invented in one day.
An experienced qualified teacher isn’t trained in one day.


Sorry if I don’t meet nor surpass anyone’s expectation, yet.
Or have I said or done things I shouldn’t have.
I’m still trying. Step by step.
And I’m not perfect.
Not even close.
I’m sorry.
Truly.
I am.


“Wahai orang2 yang beriman! Masuklah ke dalam Islam secara keseluruhan, dan janganlah kamu ikuti langkah2 syaitan. Sungguh, ia musuh yang nyata bagimu.” (2:208)


Yes, I’m trying. So can you.

Let's try to find the night of Qadar,
As much as we are looking forward to spend the nights with our loved ones back home,
Let's look forward to spend THE night with our creator, and seek His forgiveness.
:)

Dari Ummul Mukminah Aisyah ra yang telah bertanya rasulullah apakah yang perlu dibaca pada malam lailatul qadar jika beliau menjumpainya maka dijawab oleh rasulullah dengan bersabda,
"Berkatalah kamu: اللَّهُمَّ اِنَكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُ اَلفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّيِ (Allahumma sesungguhnya Engkau Maha Pengampun yang menyukai mengampunkan hamba-Mu maka ampunilah aku)” (hadis riwayat tirmidzi). --> Credits to ustaz.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html

Bolehkah?

Saya mahu pulang dan beri buah tangan dari Australia kepada babah saya.

Saya mahu pulang dan buat kek-kek kegemaran saya bersama mama saya.

Saya mahu pulang dan berjalan-jalan di Bandar Melaka bersama kak long dan kak uda saya.

Saya mahu pulang dan naik kereta bersama abang ngah saya untuk pulang ke kampung.

Saya mahu pulang dan tanya adam 'adam sayang busu banyak mana?', dan dia akan jawab banyak-banyak macam ni sambil menunjukkan 10 jari tangannya.

Saya mahu pulang dan peluk diinah sampai dia rimas dan menangis.

Saya mahu pulang dan jumpa mikhail dan melihat dia memakai baju bertulis 'if you think i'm cute you should see my aunty'.

Saya mahu pulang dan keluar makan dan berjalan-jalan mengambil gambar bersama kawan-kawan saya.

Saya mahu pulang dan makan masakan mama saya, kak long saya, ikan bakar umbai, ikan bakar telok mas, brownies secret recipe, ayam scud, ayam lada hitam pak lang, dan pelbagai lagi. Saya mahu mencuba untuk tidak menggunakan produk zionis, tetapi saya juga mengidam kfc dan mcdonald.

Saya mahu pulang dan melihatnya. Mereka. Mereka dan keluarga mereka. Dia. Melihat dia.

Saya mahu pulang.

Saya mahu.

Bolehkah?

Again, I’m blogging about sooo last week’s events. Hehe. Tight schedule (tight la sgt). Ramadhan’s here. Alhamdulillah, Brissy may not have a bazaar Ramadhan with ayam percik, nasi tomato, and air kelapa, but it surely teaches me waay beyond what Ramadhan in Malaysia has to offer. Don’t get me wrong, not to say saye dah jd mat saleh n forgot my roots, no darlings. Juz dat when u’re in a place where Ramadhan seems juz like another typical month in the year, u’ll try harder to make the best out of Ramadhan so that it is NOT juz another set of 30 days, it IS Ramadhan, THE Ramadhan. In Malaysia u have everything ready rite in front of ur face, but here u've got to work for it. So u’ll be more likely to appreciate everything here.. Hmm… Hope it’s not too late to wish everybody happy fasting :) and to all of you bloghoppers as well. Hehe…

And of coz, happy belated birthday to my sayang… I love u and miss u soooo mucho2… Wish I could be with you… MALAYSIA…..

Last Monday was my last day at East Brisbane State School for a school observation. We went there every other Monday morning, for 3 times. Well, from my experience there I can easily conclude that I’m MATHEMATICALLY CHALLENGED!! Huhuhu… I was assigned to a Year 7 class, and juz my luck, every Monday morning they have math..
Don’t blame me I’m not naturally bright in math, I have excuses for my “slowness”. These may sound lame, but hey, I’m only human ;p (there, ding dong, one excuse). Ok, I don’t know all the numerical terms in English, I was raised as a melayu sejati, I learnt ABC and 123 with my mother tongue ;p ngehehe.. I’m doing language, tesol, so I’m on Muqaffa’s track, rather than Khawarizmi’s. And, it’s been 4 years since I last did complex math, so it’s been a while my left brain’s in the comfort zone. Now I have to use the calculator even for a simple calculation! And one last excuse, the jalan kerja here is a bit different from what my brain schema has. So you see, nature and nurture complement each other. Hehe nah… Moral of the story is- whatever we learn, be it academically or not, we must make sure we have our intention right. Blaja krn Allah, bkn sbb nak exam or org suro… huhu… And yes, practice makes perfectosss :)

After came back from school, I submitted my photomedia assignment. One of the themes is abstraction. Mari teka apekah benda di dalam gamba di bawah ini? Sape dpt teka die pandai ;p heee~ Jawapan akan diberi in the next post, iA… Kamu2 yg sudah tahu jawapannye dilarang meneka... lalala~

p/s to my Ukhti Ramadhan, whoever u are, if u’re reading this, selamat berpuasa ok :)

"wahai orang2 yang beriman! diwajibkan atas kamu berpuasa sebagaimana diwajibkan atas orang sebelum kamu agar kamu bertaqwa" (2:183)
