Strive to please only The AlMighty

Hallmark Channel was showing an original movie about teenagers addicted to oral sex who eventually ended up with syphilis.

Yonks ago (when I was a teenager with raging hormones), I never thought there would be a time when sex would be so "in-fashion".

When I hit puberty, I was so afraid to talk about sex that I don't even dare say the full word.

So scared to the point that I thought I could get pregnant by just thinking about it.

Times HAVE change, huh?

Funny enough, I am really glad that I am NOT a teenager of this Starbucks Generation.

I thought I had it hard in the past.

I thought wrong.

Scary, huh?

How will our children turn out?

May ALLAH s.w.t protect them always so they will never give in to the pressure of wanting to be accepted by their peers.

Now that I am all grown-up, I realise that it was actually a blessing that I was a "geek".

Sulk or smile?

Lack of sleep, worries, brainstorming and quick decision-making situations.

Just some of the things that we are facing.

As the number on my counter decreases, the decision multiplies.

But we are enjoying it.

I mean, we can sulk about it and get mad at each other everyday or we can enjoy the whole process.

Do we regret the decision to do the wedding preparations on our own?

Not one bit.

It's all too much at times but heck, we are getting the hang of it now.

Alhamdullillah.

Easy-Goer

At home, my room is my refuge against anything.

Outside, I find security and comfort surrounding myself with books.

I can wait for hours and hours (but that's no excuse for making me wait for 2 whole blardy hours) - as long as there is a library.

A good book, air-conditioned environment, clean and quiet and I am happy.

It's not that hard to please me, is it?

Sleep more, weight less?!

Okay, my dear ladies.

You have got to read this article.

Lose weight while you sleep?!

No pills required?!

This you have got to see.

The Heat Is a Blessing

Flu thrives in cold weather.

That is a fact.

For a long time, I kept on complaining about the super hot weather that is hitting our little island.

I was always so frustrated, agitated and annoyed.

But flu thrives in cold weather and shouldn't we be thankful for the heat?

This might be ALLAH's way of minimizing the spread of the swine flu.

Insya ALLAH.

Honesty if the best policy

At at time where there is a high risk of a flu pandemic, what we need most is honesty.

If one has all the symptoms of the swine flu and has travelled to affected countries, it's inconsiderate to not to get it checked out immediately!

The 2 new cases (in Singapore) possess strong sense of irresponsibility.

How can you go to work, attend several (not just one, mind you) social functions (where there's a gazillion people) or even go shopping when you know the risk of your medical conditions??

It's ridiculous!

You would think someone who is highly educated (like a researcher, probably?) would have more brains to be vigilant in current risky situations.

Well, qualifications is but a piece of paper.

It does not maketh a man.

For the sake of everyone else, I hope this selfish behaviour stops at these 2 new cases.

I pray to the AlMighty that the rest of us be spared from this flu disease.

Insya ALLAH.

Alls well that ends well

I never thought I would say this but I feel that..

I AM beautiful.

Hehe..

Before you go off branding me a self-centred, egocentric witch (with a capital B), let me explain.
After hearing my explanation, I am sure you will feel the same way about yourself as I do about me.

AdditionS to the family.

In the picture above, I was perspiring, irritated and frustrated.

Can you believe that I was called beautiful without make-up or a tight-fitting kebaya?

To top it off, the compliment was not from a relative or a good friend or an acquaintance?

It was from a stranger who was born a male but wore baju kurung and had nice "assets"!

Imagine that.

I could not have been more complimented in my life.

I thank the Almighty for "perfection" in my imperfections.

Most times, you need to be knocked on the head to appreciate the blessings HE has bestowed upon you.

Alhamdullillah.

HE made no mistakes.

Rainbow Event

At 9.30 am on a fine Saturday morning, my summer vacation officially begins.

Doubts and worries aside for the big break is here.

Alhamdullillah.

From Discover My space...

The whole year was not exactly a breeze but I have learnt a lot.

I have forgiven her.

I may not have made an opportunity today to apologise to her but I would still like to do so online - regardless on whether she would be reading it.

I apologise for all the things I have said in your presence and without your knowledge. I apologise if I have offended you in any way. I apologise for everything that took place during our partnership.

Allahu akbar.

Though when it all took place, it was hard to be positive.

However, knowing that I have the Al-Mighty behind me, gave me the strength.

HE enabled me to see the rainbow and the greatness when I was at my lowest through the darlings of my life.

Alhamdullillah. How blessed I am.

Escape from a lion's den..

At exactly 4.45pm, my new partner for the next academic year was revealed.

It was not who I wanted.

But I have faith that HE will not give me something I cannot handle.

Therefore, I shall persevere and think positive.

It will all make me stronger.

It may be a chance to show the world how a Muslimah who has faith handles trials and tribulations.

It may be a chance to show the world that Islam does not encourage violence but forgiveness and love - despite being wronged.

Insya ALLAH.

May my next partner be what I have prayed for - organized, considerate, not a hypocrite, fun and all things good.

Insya ALLAH.
