Location : USM student wellness center
Scenario : The freshie (Ayang) was filling up the necessary forms to get her medical check up done. She had to sms her mom (that's me) to find out something.
Ayang: Mom, do you know if I am allergic to anything?
Mom : As far as I know, there's only one thing you are allergic to; that's being BROKE!
Ayang : Huh! very funny!

PARADOX
This message was sent by a friend. I thought it is so beautiful and so honest, it had to be shared.
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways,but narrower viewpoints.. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes.. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...
Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share precious thoughts in your mind.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Biar Total eclipse of the sun, not total eclipse of the heart
Wed July 22, 2009 the earth experienced what is to be the longest total solar eclipse of the century. The eclipse is the longest since July 11, 1991, when a total eclipse lasting 6 minutes, 53 seconds was visible from
Starting off in
The celestial event was met by a mixture of awe, excitement and fear. The daytime darkness prompted fireworks displays in
(Excerpts extracted from yahoo)
He it is Who made the sun a radiance, that is, emitting light, and the moon a light, and determined it, with respect to its movement, in stations: 28 stations in 28 nights every month, becoming concealed for two nights when a particular month has 30 days, or [concealed] for one night, when it has 29 days, so that you might know, thereby, the number of the years and the reckoning. God did not create that, which is mentioned, save in truth, not in vain, exalted be He above such things. He details (read yufassilu or nufassilu, ‘We detail’) the signs for a people who know, who reflect.
Truly in the alternation of night and day, in [their] coming and going, increasing and diminishing, and [in] what God has created in the heavens, of angels, sun, moon, stars and other things, and, in, the earth, of animals, mountains, seas, rivers, trees, and other things, there are signs, indications of His power, exalted be He, for a people who fear, Him, and so believe: He singles these out for mention because they are the ones to benefit from them [such signs].
Tafsir Yunus 5-6
And among His signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Do not prostrate to the sun and moon, but prostrate to God Who created them, namely, these fours signs, if it is Him Whom you worship.

A birthday prayer/ a personal odyssey 1
Yesterday was my birthday.
Pukul 9 pagi, bermula misi ku untuk membuat sesuatu yang bermakna untuk hari besar ku. Walaupun rasa malas bergerak meruntun di hati, aku paksa juga kaki ini untuk melangkah ke situ.
Ilmu Tasauf yang ingin ku tinjau bukanlah sesuatu yang mudah. Ilmu untuk berjalan menuju Allah, menyusuri jalan orang-orang yang `Ariffin, orang yang kenal diri dan kenal Tuhan mereka, orang-orang yang berjaya keluar dari kegelapan.
Ibrahim Adham, Ibn Umar, Umar Abdul Aziz , Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jailani ulama' muktabar dan auliya' yang ketika nama-nama mereka disebut, kata Ustaz, turun rahmat mencurah, dan berdoa ketika itu besar kemungkinan dimaqbulkan Tuhan, insyaAllah.
Ibrahim Adham yang ketika ditanya seseorang, bagaimankah untuk mengenali seseorang itu auliya' maka di tunjuknya Jabal Qubais sambil berkata, tanda seorang auliya' seumpama bila disuruh bukit itu beredar maka, ia akan menurut kata, dan serentak dengan itu bukit itu pun bergegar sehingga beliau berkata berhenti, membuktikan bahawa beliau sememangnya seorang auliya' dan betapa maqbulnya cakap seorang auliya'.
Has there been a day in your life when , after washing three full loads of laundry, the day that started promising a sunshiny day suddenly turned cloudy and you mutter under your breath, `Awat ni, tiba-tiba pula jadi gelap langit ni? Bila baju ni nak kering?' Has it ever occurred to you that the day, the sun, the clouds, the earth, your life, you belong to al Qaliq? That you have no say, no right to complain, save to pray to God that in His Benevolence you shall be kept safe, alive, able to offer your submission to His divine will for yet another day? How small we are, how insignificant and how bloody arrogant of us to think that we have the right to complain?
Setiap insan dilahirkan ke dunia dengan beberapa perkara yang memang telah ditetapkan, antaranya umur dan rezeki. Tapi manusia di sibukkan oleh urusan dunia dalam mencari rezeki yang mana semua itu memang telah dijanjikan sehingga terlupa perkara yang tidak ditetapkan, iman dan taqwa.
Aduh, berkali-kali aku diingatkan dalam benak ku tentang solat yang ku tinggalkan semasa aku sibuk, solat yang ditinggalkan kerana aku letih, solat yang ditinggalkan sebab bershopping, tengok wayang...Ya Allah! Ya Rahman Ya Rahim! Aku bermohon belas ihsan dari sifat Rahim mu, sentiasa lah pelihara aku dalam keadaan beringat kepada MU. Jadikanlah aku hamba yang ikhlas berabdi diri kepada mu.
Sebagai manusia kita akan kenal Allah hanya bila Allah mencampakkan rahmat ke dalam hati kita. Di waktu kita mengingati Allah, di waktu itulah Allah juga mengingati kita, jadi kita mesti sentiasa berdoa supaya Allah ingat kepada kita. (Walaupun lupa adalah sifat mustahil bagi Allah)
Di penghujung kuliah Sheikh Zainul `Asri berpesan:
1) Seboleh yang mungkin, ikhtiarkan solat berjama`ah
2) Solat hendaklah di awal waktu
3) Amalkan solat sunat Ba'diah, Qabliyah, Witir , Dhuha
4) Qodho' semua solat yang telah tertinggal
5) Usahakan solat Awwabin antara Maghrib dan `Isya' kerana solat ini menjaga iman
6) Solat Tahajjud setiap malam jangan tinggal 2 raka`at di waktu malas, dan 12 rakaat ketika rajin
7) Solat Tasbih sekurangnya sekurang nya seminggu sekali, sebaiknya setiap hari
8)Selawat ke atas Nabi 1000x sehari semalam
8) Jangan tinggal membaca Quran dalam sehari walaupun sikit.
As I walked away from the kuliyah, I promised myself that if the above is what i have to do, then it is what I will have to do. How else am I going to progress from where I am now, Ahlul Insan to get to ahlul Iman and ahlul Ikhsan?
My birthday has gone by very well...
Thank you GOD, subhanALLAH, walhamduliLLAH, walailahaillALLAH, wALLAHuakbar!
Pukul 9 pagi, bermula misi ku untuk membuat sesuatu yang bermakna untuk hari besar ku. Walaupun rasa malas bergerak meruntun di hati, aku paksa juga kaki ini untuk melangkah ke situ.
Sheikh Zainul `Asri tiba selangkah awal dari aku. Seorang sheikh muda, ulama Hadith yang bibirnya sentiasa basah dengan selawat keatas junjungan besar Nabi Muhammad saw. Setelah mengambil tempat, beliau memanjat doa-doa memulakan pengajian beserta Al Fatihah untuk penulis kitab, bermula lah suatu pencarian.
Ilmu Tasauf yang ingin ku tinjau bukanlah sesuatu yang mudah. Ilmu untuk berjalan menuju Allah, menyusuri jalan orang-orang yang `Ariffin, orang yang kenal diri dan kenal Tuhan mereka, orang-orang yang berjaya keluar dari kegelapan.

A belated first schoolday experience
The first day at Children Corner (Chicorner as she used to call it), Mrs Lian greeted us and showed which class she was to be in. I specifically took a leave of absence in order to be there just to be on hand in case she needed her mummy. But she fitted right in, surrounded by her new found friends, while us anxious parents stood by watching. And she shooed me away! She told me not to embarrass her by hanging around, and that she was big enough to take care of herself.
On the first day of primary school, the day went by uneventfully for me. No wailing, no tugging, no crying, no...none of those experience for me. No such memories to tease her with, throughout her growing years. She loved afternoon school as she is such a midnight owl...and everything was smooth sailing until year 6. At one stage she was transferred to 15 different places in her class to contain her `chatterboxness'.
The same could not be said for her first day at boarding school. Although excited at the prospect of being away from mummy's instructions (aka nagging), she stood forlorn while waving us goodbye. That was to be the first of many many many trips to her school sometimes during mid week, normally for some kind of emergency requests...forgot this forgot that....After one full year, we both knew the best place for her was right here where the heart is~at home!
It was the same routine once she checked into her Matric College. Up and down the North South hiway, paid lots and lots of toll, made Samy Value very very happy. Finished that, and there was 2 months break before varsity opens. She was very much in her elements, enjoying her time at home, in her bedroom, finishing up yet another scrap book.
But really dear, if you could only see your face on registration at the varsity yesterday...I wanted to laugh but I didn't want to, not in front of you. That was the face I waited to see on your first day at kindy, first at primary not first at varsity.
My lil girl whose affectionate name is Lily is all grown up! You are about to embark on a new chapter, be happy! I'm happy for you! I miss having you, but I'm happy for you. Mummy's not going anywhere...I'll be here for all your weekend visits, short and long holidays, so go study and enjoy yourself. This is the first of many more happy days to come.
I love you girl and my doa for you is always yang terbaik dunia dan akhirat.

My husband's a maniac!
A chessmaniac! That's what he was, is now, and I'm quite convinced, forever will be.
Ever since he knows how to log on the chessmaniac website, I have not been able to wrest him away from the PC whereas he is what the malay proverb describe in si kudung mendapat cincin (literally translated like the fingerless given a ring) when it comes to PC, despite my best teaching efforts. And now suddenly, he's all computer savvy.
About 3 years ago, the same thing happened. I took pity when all he could manage on the PC was to play solitaire, so I registered him as a chessmaniac. He was all excited when he could pit his chess prowess against some unknown fellow chessmaniac halfway across the world and kept rising in rank and rating that nothing could have moved him, not even an earthquake. So I did what any good wife would~ take away the evil temptation! No, I didn't throw the PC down the river....I changed his log in password. And the poor guy couldn't for the life of him figure out what went wrong.
Hmm....I got to figure out a new trick this time around before he makes a cavity in the floor where he sits for hours on end. I think I may just learn enough chess to beat him at his favourite game. Or better still, sabotage all his moves when he's not around...after all, wasn't chess invented by women?
Watch Mo Amer...he agrees...

Bruce ku sakit!
Sedih, sedih, sedih!
Bruce sakit and terpaksa di admit ke animal clinic Dr Ravi kat Pumpong. Dah 2-3 hari dia sakit telinga. Last week dia sakit mulut, mulut dia jadi macam angelina jolie's famous pout. The people at the Jabatan Veterinar kata dia sakit hati la, badan panas la, stress la.
Dr Ravi periksa telinga dia guna camera. It seems that he has a very bad ear infection (padahal dah berkali-kali diperiksa oleh Jabatan Veterinar dan telinga dia dibersihkan...I'm wondering whether telinga dia terluka sebab depa kasar masa bersihkan telinga dia! tapi...takkan nak kata kan, kan, kan?)
So Bruce has to spend the night and probably the next few nights at the clinic. Duit satu hal, one night lodging costs RM35, almost equivalent to a nights stay at a non rated motel in a small town, apart from costs of his medication. More than money, it's his presence that I miss. It's been days since he showed his gluttony appetite.
But anything for Bruce, just get well...and soon. Mommy misses you!
(Dah lah kak ayang dah nak pi USM...Bruce pulak kat klinik...sunyi la!)

The changing times
As a kid way back in primary school, we used to have a singing class! Believe it or not! But people who were there in St Nicholas around late 60's and 70's would remember the class being taken up by none other than the headmistress herself, the one feared by all pupils~ Ms Sibert (she passed away recently- God bless her soul), besides the `Poems to Enjoy' class (mentioned in Naz's post {Serenity Now} sometime back) (Try as i might, I can't recall any poems I tried so hard to memorize in those days save for a short excerpt of...a silver nutmeg on a silver tree...or something to that effect)
Anyway back to the main story, remember the song My Grandfather's Clock? I found the song on U tube...I may be just another makcik blogger but I love all things old and new.

Ms Sibert would rise in her grave if she hears how the song has been re-invented and re-engineered...but I just love it don't you? Have a listen...
the smiling cat owner
I spent the last few days running around after Bruce trying to make him swallow his pills.
Bruce was not well, the vet said he may have a serious liver ailment, evidenced by a blackish gooey substance deposited around his nostril and mouth. He prescribed a liver tonic, piriton to help de-stress Bruce and a round of antibiotics. Do cats really get stressed out? I almost wondered out loud but didn't want to antagonize the vet who was giving his best opinion. But Bruce was gaining weight nicely, at 6 months he's weighing in at 2.975 kg. Whatever, I took him home and vowed to make sure he gets all the rest and medication he needed.
But Bruce had other things on his mind...he made me run more than I had done so in the last 6 months of my life. He wasn't taking it sitting down! He fought and twisted and turned his head until it was almost impossible to hold onto him without breaking his leg or his neck in the process.
Well, i thought...as intelligent as he is...I am going to fool him if it's the last thing I do.
So after the first two days, he's been such an angel, and has been swallowing his pills without any protest, all nicely embedded in chunks of tuna dished out to him.
Oh Bruce! Who's having the last laugh now?
(Sorry guys, since the owner prefers to remain incognito, all you get to see is an image of the smiling cat~not the cat owner, and since i couldn't get Bruce to pose nicely, this one is from the net)
