Tips How To Appreciate Ur Father

Today is a father’s day. Father’s day is to honor all the fathers for everything they did for their children. This is some kind of occasion to express gratitude towards ur dad for all his love and his support.

But, almost all of the newspaper, blogs and electronic media are only talking about what gifts should we get for our fathers on this special day. Why only talking about gifts?

There’s another meaningful thing that we can do to our father instead of buying them an expensive gift.

So here are the tips :

Forgive me ibu...

Son : Ibu...

Ibu : Yes my son...

Son : Can I ask u something?

Ibu : U can ask me anything my dear son. What is it?

Son : I think I want to move out from here and follow my friends to work at the city ibu.

Ibu : What?

Son : Yes ibu. We are too poor ibu. I want to go and work at the city to try my luck there. Who know someday I’m gonna be rich and famous. I can change our family fate ibu.

2010

2010 has come, leaving 2009 behind. We come to the new phase in our life, and we turn to the new page in the new chapter. The page that we should properly think before we start to write history on it.

Proportional with the New Year, we become one year older, one year more mature, one year leaving our childish attitude behind, and not to say but one year near to our death.


Reading newspaper recently was kind of cute, shows how 7 years old kids start their new journey in the new school as a student. Some were happy meeting new friends, some were asking for their parents to accompany them outside of the class until the school was over and some were crying so loud as they parents were going to leave them forever. Hmm, kids, always innocent…

Hapy Eid al-Adha

Hi guys..
So what’s up? How u all been doing? I hope u guys doing great.

Tomorrow Muslims will celebrate Eid al-Adha, the day that we commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God. I wanna take a chance to wish u all Happy Sacrifice Feast.

So I just came back from masjid (mosque = masjid is in my native language), where I went to join my fellow Muslims to recite the Takbir Raya.
Its kinda nice, but not so many people attended it, majority the golden age people, maybe others who were absent, intend to wait till tomorrow morning together with solat sunat Eid al-Adha to recite the takbir.

Merdeka Celebration at mamak stall

Burrpppp,,
Alhamdulillah,,kenyang,,

“Wah,it’s already 12a.m” I told my friends while looking at my watch,,
Like usual, me and my friend were happily with our routine, ‘mengeteh’ at mamak stall,

“What about 12a.m??” asked my friend. He puzzled as suddenly I mentioned about time as before this we never care about time when we were so busy enjoying our ‘teh tarik’ and ‘roti canai’ while talking about football, cars, politics, etc,

“Its Merdeka dude! owh sh*t, You didn’t even remember!!, you are so busted dude!!”

“owh, ops,awww, its already 31st August,” (blushing) then , “it’s not that I forgot dude, it’s just I don’t remember,,,say,, like an hour” tried to cover his silly reaction,,

“errgghh, stop acting like a silly boy”
“no I’m not”
“unfortunately,,,you are!”

My friend silent for a moment, then tried to change the topic,

“wah, so Malaysia is already 52 years old”
“yup! Not old enough compared with others!”
“which country u compared with?”
“U.S”
“eerrrggghhh!!! such a jerk!”
“hahahaha”

Suddenly, preeeennnnggggg!!preeennnnnngggggg!!! the whole mamak stall lovers were shocked by the noise of motorcycles engine by mat2 rempitsss.

“their night” said my friend while smiling sarcastic to me
“no comment, maybe this is the way they express their freedom”
“freedom my ass”

Silent for a while, then,

“hoi, did u read about kartika?” asked my friend,
“whole Malaysia read it”
“so what do u think?”
“think what?”
“la, whether is convenient to cane her la”
“owh, em, for me, yes I think it’s convenient la,”
“Why?”
“coz she did something terrible, so she should face the consequence la”
“but don’t u think by caning is too harsh?”
“maybe, but that’s the rule, why?”
“naa, I just think about others who also drinks,”
“explain?"
”naa, u know, like children-of-superrich, children-of-somebody in high position, artist like *@*#* and *#@*, they all also muslim dude! They drinks like crazy! Proudly photographed their pic at pub while holding beers”
“hmm, yes, but what can we say, they are the high profile group, always have ways to covering their ‘activity’”
“proud with their power, just wait, they forget the real ruler of this world!”
“naa, enough la, let just care of ourselves, behave so that we can stay in the right path”
“that’s right, but we also have to help others so at least they can open their eyes and walk straight instead of running in circle”
“you are right dude”

Silent again, then we decide to talked about football, our fav topic,..

After some time,I looked at my watch again,

“oiii, its already 2a.m la!” scream slowly to my friend
“owh, chill, it’s still early what” acting like nothings happen
“ Let’s go home! My father will kill me dude!”
“kill u not me”
“okay that’s real funny” as I stood up heading to counter
“haha,,, wei, belanja, I don’t have money” with sad motion face
“ya..okay..okay..”

15 minutes later I arrived home,and I’m lucky enough that my father already asleep...usually he will wait for me to come home first and I’m so dead after that..Haha, u guys know what, I’m 20 years old okay, which mean I know how to take care of myself, but when I think back why my father so mad at me every time I came home late, I will say to myself, “never mind, at least I know that my father love me,,” . And it will bring smile to my face. =)

So long~

Ramadhan

“Oh you who believe, fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those who came before you that you may keep your duty to your Lord…” Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 183;

Here comes again Ramadhan al-Mubarak. The holy month that has been waiting by all of muslim around the world in every year. Alhamdulilah, we have been given the opportunity once again, to embrace the month of Ramadhan. Ramadhan is not only the month of “tarbiyah” (self-development) and “tazkiyyah” (purity), but it is also a period of self improvement for all the followers of Islam so as to amplify the good practice of worship to the one and only Allah.

The experience of fasting goes beyond refraining ourselves from food and drinks. Fasting is a therapy for us to be level-headed, to mature ourselves and to get close to Thee. It teaches patience and gives strength to those who are wise enough to appreciate the benefits of this holy act.

“Fasting is the antidote to those who are impatient and lacking of self control despite combined with the problem of two in an individual”. Bedjuzzaman Said Nursi

Wish that the holy month of Ramadhan will grant us the strength for continuous self-improvement so as to inch nearer with faith to the destination of God blessing.

Salam Ramadhan~
