I must not fear

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

Things to be listed down

Recently, i kept on forgetting things that ive should do...
Precisely, things that ive should write, emails, fax and the list goes on and on...
As a research student, once you have started your experiments,
you will find it is very hard to sit down in front of your computers and start writing something formal.
It is not that i dont have time, i couldnt find time  or other words, LAZY...hehe....

Fortunately, there is always a person that patiently told me to do things ive should do..
Thank you!!!
She is my great reminder and she is my teacher..:)

She told me 'zara, list down everything'...
Then, i didnt...
Then, she reminded me again....
Then, i remembered...
And then i forgot......
And there, still, she patiently told me to do things ive should do...
Until everything is done...


From now on, i make a promise to myself to list down all of my works...
Forgetfulness will never be a problem..

And Yes, Ramadhan is coming!!!

Assalamualaikum and good day,


Yes, two more days, and the most awaited month will finally knock in our life, again...:)
I feel happy, as ALLAH still gives me and my family chance to go through this Ramadhan...
I knew that everyone knows that Ramadhan brings in a lot of goodness...


When Ramadhan comes, there were always some things that i've missed the most and wish that i could juz hop in time machine, and get back to those precious time..How i wish...:(
and all of this happened during my childhood times..
Childhood was the most pure, innocent moments in your life that you will never get back,
So, juz cherished it..


Hmm..comes to think of it, below was what my ramadhan always be when i was still young and free.........hehehe....




1) Rented a spot in Bazar Ramadhan 


What do we do in Bazar???of course, selling time!!!
Our main products were the home made soy bean..
My father bought the necessary items and it were up to me and my sisters and Brother, to do what we should do..
During Sahur, i will soak the soy beans in order to soften its, and during 8 am, we will start working..
Me, my sis, Mardiah and Kak Ina, with the help of my brother, we did everything until the soy bean was cooked.
Then, as early as 2 pm in the afternoon, we will open up our stall and start selling..
The best part of it, almost everyday, everything was bought...
And i did get some wages...Even it was only small amounts, it was worth it...:)
However, this kind of activities only lasted until i was in my form one, then, we didnt open up stall at Bazar anymore...
I dont know why we stopped...


2) Terawikh time and the food after it...:)


I think when i was in my teen, that was the time i was serious in doing my terawikh..matured enough..
Terawikh was great, we got to see  our neighbours and frenz....prayed together....:)
Listened to the tazkirah after that...
And alot of good things...
Obviously, for me, it was such a calm times...
I dont know, but i like it so much...juz like sahur...that was the most peaceful moments and we shouldnt let it pass by effortlessly....




3)All of the malays drama except for those that too sad yet to illogical!!!
I love this PONDOK BURUK drama...it was heart wrenching yet soooooo full of values..
Wishing, they made PONDOK BURUK 3 after this...
For sure gonna watch it....
and all those happy funny eccentric dramas which made me laugh out loud...
I dont care what people said, i love malays dramas....




Thats all!!!
Actuallly, there were loads........next time....




Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Giving Up

When everyone keeps complaining, no one is supporting...

Not as plain as it seems..:)

Dear blog,

Do you know that by drinking  a lot of plain water actually could help you to lose your fats??
Apart from helping you to have better metabolism...
I knew it...but i didnt know that plain water could actually help us to be thinner...:)
The method goes something like this,

Once U wake up from ur sleep,
Apart from reciting the Doa,
U just go grab 500 mL of plain water and drink it...
Remember, once u wake up, which means with ur unbrushed teeth..:)
Some of us might think it is very uncomfortable to swallow anything with our smelly mouth...
But, actually, it have good enzymes within it....
So, just fuel yourselves....


U will have a good start of the day, rehydrate your body after your long sleep and makes you glow from inside...
Plain water is never the same with coffee, milo or any other bicarbonated drink...
We need to drink at least from 8 to 12 glasses of plain water everyday..

 

So, drink!!! 

Zara..:)

Nur Kasih..:)

Dear Blog,

After my mini viva for my research progress assessment,

Ive been watching quite a lot of movies, to be exact, three movies at the MBO cinema..

Hehe, for me, i rather watched movies by using my laptop,

Easy, convenience and of course, money aint wasted...

But, to cope with stress, i chose to waste my money to watch

KONGSI, NUR KASIH THE MOVIE and PIRATES OF CARRIBEAN :ON STRANGER TIDES...

The characters in Nur Kasih....

All of these movies were fun to be watched, but Nur Kasih tops amongst all..

It told us a story which revolves around three main characters, Nur Amina, Aidil and Adam..

It was full of emotions, i've almost cried...

even Kdin, which is a man, told us that this story was a heart wrenching....

Anisah thought the same way too,

Atik just acted cool, but i bet u, she cried her eyes out when no one was around..hehe....

Nur amina : calon menantu terbaik!!! Atik, sila contohi Nur Amina okay...hehe

It was a pure love story,

A love between husband and wife,

A love between brothers,

A love between mothers and childs,

A love between human beings,

and A love between human and God...

This is a great love story...

Aidil is like only one in a million...

Aidil's character was the one that touched my heart,

He is a kind hearted man, almost like an angel,

He is strong, faithful and adhere strongly to what he believes...

I wish to be like Aidil...:)

And, what is most important,

is to treat people nicely,

never judge anyone based on their appearances,

because we might not know what will happen in the future...

So long,

zara...

To all mothers, hepi mother's day..:)

Dear blog,

Seriously,lame x jenguk sini...

Suddddenly rajin pulak nak menaip,

Even though there are others more important things that required my attention ryte now...

But ,im going to waste my time to write something in here...

Actually, i love to waste my time..;p

FYI, i will have my so called "mini viva" at 18th of May...

Hopefully, me and all of my frenz can give our very best..:)

Wish all of us luck!!!

And may all of us pass this assessment...Pray for us will u??

Regardless all of that, Tomorrow we are going to celebrate a very special day,

A day for MOTHER...

I knew, everyday is a mother day, but we need to have a day for all of us to gather, and appreciate our mother...

but because i couldnt make it home, here is a special dedication for u..:)

So, to my MAK,

I wish u "Selamat Hari IBU"

Thanks for being a very great mother to me and my siblings..

We all heart u...:)

And to Kak Along and Kak Farah, selamat hari ibu juga...:)

Because u r sooo special...and we love u....

With all our life...

Semoga Mak sentiasa berada di bawah rahmat ILAHI...:)

Okay...bye....Till then...

What to do when you are heading to the valley of stress??

Dear blog,

For the past two weeks,

Ive been very busy..

I felt like the time was running out too fast...

There were loads of works...

There was no time...

Then,

STRESS is the answer...

It is very irresponsible for me to blame others on this STRESS matter..

The only person i should blame is me and myself only...

That is the first thing to do in order to cope this stress issue...Accept ur mistakes..

I blamed myself for not being able to handle my time,

and blamed myself again for not being able to organise my work perfectly..

and blamed me again for not handling my emotion well...

Thus, TIME MANAGEMENT is the main key to this problem..

Really need to work this out...

So, what to do when ur forehead is wrinkling like an old lady??

When ur eyes are no more less like a panda, even panda have cuter eyes...

and ur are thinking in ur sleep....this will lead to insomnia...serious issue...

I have find below methods kind of suits me...maybe u wanna have a try...hehe...

Eat Chocolate!!!

Chocolate is magic...It can make u feel relax..Science has a proved on this..Sweetness makes me feel calm..

This is from google...teringin la plak...:)

Have a great bath!!

This reaallly works....! it is refreshing...:)

Kucing pun mau mandi...

Listen to calm music or inspirational music, like Stay the same from Joey Mcintyre...It helps to boost ur mood...

Sports like jogging or strolling along the lake ...

The blood, oxygen and ur muscle will function perfectly...Ease u in and out...plus, the beautiful view!!

Shopping or go out with dear frenz..:)

Me with atik....

Shak, my roomies..:)

And finally,

Praying....The best of the best...Talk to ALLAH, HE never far away..:)

Hopefully, i will be better in managing my time..:)

and managing my works...

Tsunami slammed Japan...:(

Dear blog,

i couldnt believe my eyes when i saw this alert on Google,

"Tsunami Alert for New Zealand, the Philippines, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Hawaii, and others. Waves expected over the next few hours, caused by 8.9 earthquake in Japan"

It reminded me of the tsunami happened at Acheh,Thailand, and some parts of Malaysia too,
It was very bad, many lost their loved ones, their homes and their own lives,
It was such a big disaster that it took years to build back the community..
And it happens again today,
It is starting at Japan and will eventually move on to other country,
The richter is 8.9, a very big ,damaging and hazardous number..
And it makes me sad, the Japan police stated that maybe 200 to 300 bodies were found after the strike...

It was damaging,
The quake unleashed 7 meter tsunami followed by 50 afershock for hours with magnitude expected to be more than 6.0,
Even people stay closed to the nuclear reactor, will be evacuated..
Even though the reactor had been shut down, it is still hot due to the quake...
And the situation there is getting worst...

Seriously, im so afraid...i feel nervous reading the news...
I am praying that everything will start to slow down,
the conditions are getting better, and the tsunami will stop....
Let us pray to ALLAH to save all of us from this ..
I feel so small.... we are nothing against the ONLY POWER....

The whirpool.....

The burning houses.....

The damaged cars and buildings.....

The coast....:(

Because of the heart that seals us...

Dear Blog,

A friend in need is a friend in deed..

This phrase could have nothing go against it..

Seriously, if u are a real frenz to someone,

You will help him/her whenever they need you..

Help doesn’t really means that u must give them whatever they need..

Help means u try ur best to help them,

Either through supporting them, or aid them financially whenever they need (if u can…) or any other ways...

Supposedly, im a lucky girl…

I have lots of good frenz and also best frenz…

The difference between both is,

good frenz are frenz that u love to have them around, u are happy

and really enjoy urselves with them

without them, life means bored + unhappy +unthrilled

Best frenz are special frenz,

The one that u keep dear to ur heart…

The one that will never ever turn their back on you..

Because time and memories could never be replayed…

I heart u all....

Syahida, u may be far but u are in my heart alwiz...:)

Because friendship is beautiful


and it keeps u in blues.....

May the friendship lasts forever..:)

Fly the kite!!!

But, seriously, it was worth a day...
Im happy and my frenz happy...

Baibai....

dont underestimate others....

Dear Blog,

To have a very low self esteem is not good,
But to own a very high self esteem aka boasting is a no-no,
and what would be perfect for us to have....is......
down to earth kind of attitude....
We need to respect ourselves and respect others...

I think, most people think,
by showing others you are more superior or better than others,
it gains you confidence..
but it benefits you nothing...

It is not that i hate people with high self confidence,
i admire those people,
but high self confidence should go with no boasting!!
we must be confidence, but have a limit....
never look down on others,
you will never know how life will turn...
Today, you might look down on that person,
and next day, he might as well be your bos,hehe...


juz dont look down on others...

let us be as happy as we wanna be!!!!!!!!!


dont boast, u might get killed....;p

The Messenger of ALLAH..:)

Dear all,

Today is 15th of February 2011 or more correctly, 12 Rabiulawal...
And this date is the luckiest and happiest day!!!!!!!!!!
This date is the date that Our Beloved Prophet, Nabi Muhammad S.A.W was born...

We are so lucky, We should be grateful to Allah, for making us the 'Umat' of Nabi Muhammad...
I know, all Muslims know, that we, the last 'Umat' is being given many special privileges,
and amongst it, we will enter the paradise before others Umat...
and The Person that we should be really thankful for, is, Our Rasullullah...:)
Selawat dan Salam Ke atas junjungan besar Nabi Muhammad S.A.W....:)

Rasullullah,
You are the brightest light of all light,
You shine like a sun,
You glitter like a star,
You shimmer like a moon,
And You will forever be in our heart...:)
Forever and ever...<3

To show our love to Nabi Muhammad,
we must follow what HE told us,
dan sentiasa berselawat dan mendoakan Nabi Muhammad,
dan pada Hari Kebangkitan, InsyaALLAH, kita akan beroleh syafaat daripada Baginda...
Amin...
