redha?

I would want to write one last thing before I go back for my holy holiday. I went through the “presidential program” today because of my “outstanding results”. Thanks to Mr. Radzuan, he was a very good facilitator, we had a wonderful session with him today, he’s looks aren’t giving him the credits he deserve for his mentality and thoughts; but hey, life ain’t always fair ain’t it?

Redha and Kufur: the fine thin line in between.

Diantara menerima ketentuan dan menentang ketentuan, manusia selalu celaru diantara dua ini. If you just accept the bad things that happen in your life, some people would say that you are a loser, easily giving up on things. You are expected to grab only the “good” things by any chances by any mean taken, as long as it gives beneficial to you, you have to grab it. I’m not justifying that what happen to me is something right, being terminated is not something you should be playing with, in some people point of view. But in this case, who is there to blame except for my self; and the fact that I’m not bitching about it like other people is a big problem for them. The fact that I’m not bitching about it is because there is nothing I could bitch about, not even to blame it on fate. He will not help those who don’t want to help themselves. It is as simple as that.

As I mention, me not bitching about it doesn’t mean I am ok with the situation, for crying out loud, who the hell likes to be terminated? But for me, rather than bitching about it, I should re-evaluate my self, my attitude, and detect my flaws so that I can change my attitude and personality so that I can be a better person. What is the point if you only know how to bitch a.k.a blame but there is no action, and worse realise that the mistakes done was all yours. Menerima keadaan seadanya bukan perkara yang mudah, manusia tak pernah bersyukur, dan adalah satu perkara yang hampir mustahil untuk manusia belajar untuk bersyukur. I’m not saying that it is imposible, but hampir. The society is the major trend setter to what we are today, even though the society as a whole is a big failure and hypocrite, but we still worship the society as the core to our religion. Bukan semua yang dituntut oleh society itu benar dan betul, that’s a fact that the society have to learn to accept.

There’s a very thin line in between redha dengan ketentuan and Kufur dengan ketentuan tuhan, the fact that people always mistake accepting the will as a sign of true losers is because people always put the blames on Takdir a.k.a fate. “nak buat cam mana, ni takdir aku, redha je lah” but at the same time they are not doing anything to try to change their fate. Remember, Allah will not abandon those who ask his guidance and help. Putting effort also doesn’t guarantee that you will success, but you have to believe that, by failing once that doesn’t mean you are meant to fail for the rest of you life, when there are things that aren’t going we want it to be even after putting much effort on it, you have to accept it with open arms, don’t bitch about it. Ketentuan Allah itu berbeda-beda, semua punya bahagian sendiri, mungkin hari ini, mungkin esok, yang penting, harus ingat, bahawa bahagian and ketentuan masing-masing itu sudah tertakluk dalam Luh-Mahfuz.
to utter the word Alhamdulillah itself bears thousand of pahala, why is that? it is a direct challenge from the man up stairs to man as a sign yang manusia memang susah nak bersyukur dan sentiasa kufur pada nikmatnya. the fact is, being prejudice itself is an act of kufur. kita cuma mahu menerima yang baik dan cantik , and at the same time membuang dan mengeji perkara yang kurang senang dangan kita. belajar untuk menyebut nama Allah, tak kira diwaktu susah atau senang. Alhamdulillah kalau kita ingat untuk menyebut nama dia waktu susah atau senang, but nauzubillah, dahlah masa senang pun tak sebut nama Dia, masa susah lagi mau bitch about it. hey....manusia, manusia....

Belajarlah untuk menerima perkara seadanya, it’s hard, it’s bitter, it’s painful, but you have to learn to swallow it. That’s the fact. Alhamdulillilah, I had my chance. Hopefully I will not have to go through this experience again. Insyaallah.

Enough said.

secrets?

I’ve been writing 3 articles (?) when our internet was cut off, Allah knows, how bored we were then. Alhamdulillah, now that it’s back, my beloved PC pulak jahanam… tuhan aja yang tahu betapa tertekan nya aku!!! Hopefully, that after the break, I’ll have my pc back good as new, spick and spat back on the net highway. I had a recent encounter finding out something that was hidden by a very good friend of mine; I didn’t dare to face him and spilt out “hey!! I know your secret!!!” coz I know he’ll definitely freak out if I tell him that I know he’s hiding dirty laundry in he’s closet. We human are likely to have some secret of our own in our sleeves, and we try to keep it there so that other people will not find out about it, but sometimes, we accidentally slip it out…what are we going to do then? And for the spectators, are we ready to see what is there hidden in his sleeve?

We often bitch about our friends not telling us their secrets and their darkest thoughts, we always have this urge of wanting to know more about our friends, because we were brought up in a mentality of the more you know about a person’s history and trauma, and perhaps fetish, we are closer to that person. We push the other party to let us in their “secret garden”, whereas sometimes, we are not ready to see what is actually behind the walls, even though we think we are ready for it. Isn’t it enough for us just to know the person, as in the person him/herself? For me, if we really want to know about the person, just get to know the person, see what you can only see, if the person wants to show us more than we can see, well that’s a different story. For me, trying to “korek” his/her secret is actually invading one’s privacy, and that doesn’t qualify us for the next “bestest best friend award”.

Secrets: how much do we really want to know about our friends?

Ok, I admit, other people secrets are very-very-very tempting, especially when serving it on the silver plate to fill our gossiping appetite, but sometimes, there are certain things that better left to be unknown to us. These secrets actually makes us wanting to stick longer to the person we’re being friends with, we live for the excitement of being surprise, the element of surprise is among the key ingredients of a long lasting friendship. Hell, can you imagine what would it be if there are no more surprises in this world?

Ignorant is bliss? Yes, cause by being ignorant, we’ll be sitting at the edge of our seat, most of the time. We live for the excitement of having an adrenaline rush in our head when someone especially our good friends, come to us one day and start out the conversation with, “aiman, I have something to tell you….” Ya rabbi, I will not trade those moments with anything, be it so even if the things coming out from that person’s mouth is the last thing I would want to hear. And yes, I love to do that to my dear friends, especially khair, fieza and e’en...hehehehehe….and perhaps, if they can turn back time, some of them would want to erase those moments.

Some people have the gift of seeing right through people, but trust me, the more you can see through people, the starving crave of being surprise is even bigger. Because at that point, you are questioning, what is there in him/her that can surprise you, because you know, there is nothing of him/her that you can think of can fulfil that growing appetite of yours.

So remember, the next time you try to dig out secrets from a person, always remember, what would you feel if someone else is doing the same thing to you. And seriously, by the act of digging the secrets itself, it shows how much that friend of yours doesn’t trust you. Don’t blame him/her; look back at yourself, muhasabah diri balik; because if you really are a friend whom he/she can trust, they’ll definitely tell you in the end. And trust me, you’ll keep that secret with you to your grave because you’ll know how appreciate the trust they put on you. So, any of you up to share a little secret with me? Heheheheheh…

Enough said.

few good questionnaires..

a good friend of mine asked me this questions while we were hang out doing nothing, according to him,these are the questionnaires usually asked by shrinks...well,what the heck do i know about shrinks,never been to one for a very-very-very long time,damn if he lied, then I'm lying to all of you who are reading this...
Q: name me 3 of your most favourite animals.
A: 1st is siberian white tiger , 2nd is the white condor , 3rd.....entah lah, aku tak pernah terpikir lak....(but he insisted me on answering the 3rd, it took me a long time but in the end i manage to came out with one) 3rd, the great panda.
Q: which one do you prefer,white horse, or black horse?
A: entah lah, both are ok for me,i like both...but i like the white one better kot...
Q: do you prefer your horse to be kept in a stable or do you want your horse to run free?
A: run free
Q: ok, let say if you're lost in a jungle, and then you are very hungry, ko dah carik for food every where, but couldn't find it, suddenly, jumpa satu pokok yang ada buah, tp buah tu tinggi, will you try to get the fruit or are you gonna keep on looking for something else yang senang sikit nak dapat?
A: dah kata lapar,baik lah aku cuba amik buah tu, dah ada depan mata, i'll try to get the fruit lah.
Q: kalau tak dapat gak?
A: i'll try to get the fruit by all means.
Q: ok, now describe me the jungle.
A: hmm...i see a very lively forest, ada yang pokok rapat,macam hutan kat malaysia ni,kalau tak pun macam dalam lord of the rings tu.. sangat gelap, jalan lagi, nanti nampak pokok yang macam hutan dalam movie english tu, tak rapat sangat, pokok tinggi ada bushes and everything, ada small animals, pastu kat tengah-tengah hutan tu, ada tanah lapang, ada banyak wild flowers, ada butterflies, ada bunny rabbit, ada colourful ponnies, boleh golek golek...
Q: hahahahaha..ko memang psycho!!! ok,masa kat dalam hutan tu, ko jumpa sungai,now describe me the sungai.
A: sungai besar, macam dalam lord of the rings tu, tapi air sangat clear, ada batu besar, ada batu kecik yang cantik, ala...yang kilat-kilat tu lah, macam aku slalu kutip tuh..ada ikan, and kalau ikut sungai tu ke punca dia, you'll see that makin nak sampai kat punca dia tu ada lagi banyak batu besar, lagi bengkang bengkok, lepas tu bila jalan lagi, nanti nampak air terjun ada tingkat-tingkat, kat atas air terjun tu ada tasik yang sangat besar,dan sangat sejuk,banyak pokok kat keliling dia, pastu kalau ikut sungai tu ke hujung dia pulak, the same things lah, sungai tu berubah mengikut muka bumi dia,dalam sungai tu dari batu besar,dia kurang sikit batu, batu kecik-kecik, and in the end pasir halus,pastu masuk laut. jangan lupa, ikan mesti ada!!! air mesti sejuk,baru best nak minum ke nak mandi!!! yang ko ni tanya aku ni apsal?
(Q: question, A:answer)
so, that friend of mine pun cerita lah, the significant of the questionnaires yang dia tanya...
F: cam ni, about the favourite animals tu yang 1st skali tu, is what kind of partner that you are actually looking for, ko nak siberian white tigers, maksudnya, ko nak pasangan ko yang mentally and physically challenging, ko nak orang yang garang, orang yang berani, orang yang tahan dengan perangai ko yang macam setan, sebabnya, siberian white tigers boleh hidup kat kawasan yang sangat sejuk, bukan semua binatang boleh hidup kat situ. and ko nak a partner yang bukan calang-calang orang, orang yang ko boleh jumpa kat mana-mana, tepi jalan ke,ko nak orang yang 1 in a million, buktinya,siberian white tigers cuma ada kat siberia je, lain tempat kalau nak tengok kat zoo, tu pun bukan semua zoo ada. the second animal is the reflection of what you are, and what you want to be, and hope to be. ko pilih white condor, which i am not suprise, knowing you, ko memang selalu menentang arus..
A: huh? apsal lak aku menentang arus?
F: ey bodoh!!! burung kan terbang menentang arus angin, kalau ikut arah angin, mana boleh terbang!!! dah lah suka menentang arus, nak burung yang paling besar dalam the birds of prey lak tu, ko suka terbang tinggi, tapi ko susah nak lupa diri,sebabnya, burung terbang je kat atas, tp kalau nak carik makanan kat bawah gak, you know what you want, and you go straight to it, other birds fear for you, dan jangan lupa tentang ego ko yang tinggi!!! plus you want to be different from other people,dah lah ko suka condor, which is susah nak carik, ni kan pulak white condors that are even harder to find.
A: cool...(senyum bangga)
F: the third one, I'm not suprise ko tak pernah pikir, knowing you..but the third one signifies what you want your kids to be,ko nak panda, you want you kids to be adorable and cute,manja-manja gitu, bila orang tengok, rasa macam nak peluk-peluk, but at the same time you want your kids to know how to defend themselves, macam panda,cuba dia tengah makan ko rentap makanan dia,tak ke dia bagi ko penampor sekali?!
A: hahahahahahahaha (gelak besar!!!)
F: the one with the horses tu is about do you want your partner lagi putih dari ko ke, atau gelap dari ko ke,ko nak kuda putih, so meaning, ko nak partner yang sama cerah atau lagi cerah dari ko...
A: and i thought the white horse tu nampak cam suci sikit...hehehehehehe
F: and then, yang ko nak kuda ko duduk dalam stable ke run free ke is what type of a person are you in bed, kalau ko nak kuda ko duduk dalam stable, maksudnya you want to be in control all the time, but then ko nak your horse to run free,maksudnya,you are open and flexible in bed,you are open to anything, you are willing to try anything to make the experience saucier...and you are not a dictator in bed...
A: hahahahahaha..try anything? hahahahahaha yezzaaa....i am kinky!!!!
F: bodo ni...the one yang jumpa buah kat hutan tu,is about ko senang putus asa atau tidak, ko cakap you'll try by all means to get the fruit, so maksudnya,ko bukan mudah putus asa, bagi ko lambat takpa, yang penting, ko dapat apa yang ko nak, and you are willing to sacrifice to get what you want.
A: betul...biar lambat,asalkan aku dapat apa yang aku nak...
F: the description of the jugle is what you see and what you want in your life, ko nak hidup ko ada masa tu sangat susah nak lalu, buktinya ko nampak hutan yang tebal and gelap, and ada part tu yang ok ok je,tak banyak sangat masalah, and ko nak hidup ko ada masa yang sangat cantik,ko nak ada tanah lapang lah, wild flowers lah, and ko nak hidup ko sentiasa menarik,sebab ko nak dalam hutan and tanah lapang ko tu slalu ada binatang. sungai tu pun lebih kurang sama,ko nak hidup ko sentiasa ada "kick" and "spices" and ko nak tau punca dan akibat to almost everything, you question a lot of "why" in your life,sebabnya,bukan semua orang yang aku tanya akan describe sungai dia ada hujung lah, ada punca lah, and kalau ke hujung tu macam mana rupa bentuk dia, kalau ke hulu macam mana pulak bentuk dia, ko nak sungai ko ada batu besarlah, batu keciklah, ada ikan lah, ada liku lah, so meaning you dont want a simple life, you want a challenging life.
A: oooo...gitu ke...true true...
(F: friend A: aku)
so, that is it, i have no conclusion, terpulang lah, mungkin Allah taala dah setkan that i'll face all this things in my life, perhaps He has store for me something bigger that i couldn't think of right now...so, berserah je lah, there's nothing i can do about it,no,i can't bitch about it, because i know that everything that happen must suit a purpose...so, insyallah, kalau ada rezeki aku, i'll find out what He has store up for me...Insyaallah..so kalau korang nak guna soalan-soalan ni untuk tanyakan pada kawan-kawan korang silakan, but, dont make a conclusion base on these questionnaires only, sebab by the end of the day, yang betul-betul mengenali kawan-kawan korang tuh, is just themsleves and Allah taala, ingat, humans are capable to suprise us within 10 second eventhough kita dah kenal dia more than 100 years...itu manusia.enough said.

5th cry for help...

day : tuesday
date : 5th july 2005
time : 0754
mood : almost stable

this might be the most scandalous confession ever made by me, the confession of why i never wanted to be in any commitment,and that every time the big C comes near me,i would freak out and run away faster than the world's fastest sprinter. it wasn't easy for me, to decide to actually make this confession to myself, let alone to the others; nonetheless, i believe that it is better to face your fear, rather than run away like a coward, and by believing in this, i made up my mind to actually write this down, not only to be read by others,but also,as a reminder for myself.
being in love is never easy, at least for me. i dont know about other people, but i dont fall in and out of love very often, and once i fall into the pit of love,i would fall in very deep, to the depth of there is no light available, and all around you is total darkness. yes, i am a terrible flirt. i am a flirt slut, i have a few strong infatuations, but that's it. because for me, i will try to stop myself from really falling for someone, because i dont like to be emotionally attach to anyone. once you are emotionally attached to someone, you no longer have any control on your life, the course of your life is run by the other party, and as for those who knew me, i am the type whom like to be in control of myself, yes i submit myself and fate to the greater power, but other than that, i want to be in control, tidak timbul persoalan tentang qada' dan qadar, i've passed through that.
ya, saya mengaku disini,saya memang manusia yang ego. sifat ego yang timbul dari pengalaman untuk membuktikan yang aku mampu pergi jauh, pengalaman yang mengajar, kau harus sedar yang kau akan sentiasa berjalan sendiri. the irony part is,i never see crying as a sign of weakness,but having your emotion control by others is a sign of weakness. it's ok to cry but never let your emotion "bergantung" to others. because you'll never know when do you have to walk alone,and when the time comes, you will never have the courage and strenght to do so,because you are used to depend on others. it's a blessing and a curse for me to learn that you have to prove to others that you worth something and you will always walk alone at a very tender age.
aku menulis bukan hanya sekadar mendengar cerita lipur lara dari yang lain, tetapi menulis mengikut pengalaman sendiri. have you ever fall for someone that you know there is no future for the both of you, even how hard you wanted it,you know it wont happen. you know the consequences, but you still dare to go through it, you know that it's a winding and harsh road, but you still go on that trail. stupid act? maybe. but not for me. fitrah bercinta, harus ada saat bergantung harap,perasaan...and that is exactly the things i cant afford to indulge. having the feelings is already a curse,let alone to indulge the urge of wanting more.
life is a stage of play, a very very long play, dan terbukti aku antara pelakon handalan yang layak memenangi "oscar for reality actor". walaupun begitu,i am not proud of myself, because in that very play, i've overkill numbers of good people. there's nothing i can do to change it now, and as i've mention in my previous post,my make-up maybe flaking, but my smile still stays on. alhamdulillah, aku sedar, that i will have to face the agony, tormenting nightmare of moving on.kalau bukan sekarang, aku hanya membiarkan aku terus merana, because being in this state is even tormenting than the pain of moving on. that's the fear that i have to face, that's the battle i cant afford to lose...insyaallah.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
