Random or Fate?

Hey Guys...

I have been thinking lately whether all those dreams that I've encountered lately was really an actual sign that I should heed in the future or should I just continue to shrug it off? Hmms..Dreams are devil's play but it could be God's way too of conveying something.. This question strucked me as I had this dream and it did really happen..Oh wells.

Anyway, the past two days was spent with another childhood of mine that I got reunited with. Coolness rite? I never thought of meeting another of mine kindergarten friend let alone 'searching' for them after I met one a few months back. Amazingly, this reunited friend could really recall the days spent from K1 TO K2 in PPIS. That 2 years..wow! Another random ongoings in my life..well not really. This I should say, is fate. If I had chosen the course back then, and got into NP I would have met him earlier. But hey, I got to meet him now eventually! For a moment I thought it gonna be awkward after such a long time not seeing each other or even talk for that matter, but old memories bridges the gap. He even invited me to his house though he just ended his work attachment...So yeah (;

And oh, 3358 could be my fate should that number strike! Alright, hold it for a moment. What the hell is this guy talking about? Haha. Well, I received an sms from a stranger asking me to buy 4D with that number..Of course, I didn't bought it. Actually...I did have the urge to ask my Chinese friend to buy but scrapped that idea out. So out of curiousity and not to allow myself to have any tinge of 'regret' of not buying the no., I checked out the winning and consolation numbers in Liang He Zhao Bao and phew, 3358 didn't appear! Hee.

Mankind often ignores
what's fated...
and always dreams of
altering the written destiny

Manusia jahil menerima
ketentuan, senantiasa impikan
peluang untuk mengubah
suratan takdir...

Blessed Living In Singapore

Hey guys...

I just came back from KL yesterday and all I have to say is I'm really blessed to be living in Singapore. I guess you guys should feel the same way too. I'm not saying this because of some bad encounters during the trip or whatsoever. The trip went smoothly as a whole, Alhamdulillah.

What I'm trying to say is travel opens up your mind; broaden your perspectives. Go out, see the world. I noticed several trips during my stay in KL. The busy traffic, the mak nyahs (transvestite), the different mazhabs or beliefs..(man this incident sets my dad and me talking). Here's what we saw. There's this guy at the surau came in as a makmum. Then after the prayers ended, he went on to lead another prayer with 4 other guys at the back. Soon, many followed him..And guess what? After the prayers he led ended, he went at the back and started to pray again with the same 4 guys! Hmms.. how many time does he want to pray Maghrib? Wallahu'alam..This sort of thing, only HE knows ..but I'm still left puzzled.

And about being blessed living here, I brought this matter up as I felt unsafe walking on the streets of KL at night, no kidding. Its unlike Singapore..The other thing is about our spending power. We can spend like for all we care there as everything's 'so cheap'. While their citizens there 'suffer' because of their all-time low currency rate. Prices there are set high as tourism money generates income while most Malaysians can't afford as thir income doesn't allow them to. The rich gets richer, the poor gets poorer. Sounds cliched yeah? But sadly, that's what is happening each day..

My Comeback

Hey Guys...

Its about time I post something on this wonderful Friday. Friday is love don't you think so? Haha oh well. And speaking about love, I got a couple of things to share..so read on.


Firstly, let me be frank. Im sure to get some flak for this very post from all those love-birds/couples out there. But here's the thing, its not from my views but someone more knowleagble, mature thinking. She's my current ustazah who's teaching the Arab module currently at Cordova..And she gt married at a very young age...She's young too (:

Well, let me share to you the things that she shared with my DPIC class. Ever heard of the term, 'There's no relationship in Islam except in marriage(Tiada konsep berpacaran dalam Islam). Im sure you guys have heard about it. Sounds crap and I totally agree with you guys. We're all go : "WHAT??Then hw do we end up in marriage and so and so.." Being and(trying at the same time) the moderate Muslim, I felt that surely that's an extreme point of view. But after her explanation, I began to understand and not ridicule it and I hope it sparked you guys to think about it too.

So what's the issue then? To those guys/gals out there, can you be sure that the gal/guy you're currently with will be ur future husband/wife? He/she is your very first bf/gf. The phrase, "I LOVE U" have not be used on any other guy/gal. You're the number __(insert no.victim. Be truthful, you can't guarantee that sort of thing rite? If your're really sure, put it in black and white and I'll moniter your progress till you make your wedding vows!

The thing is, we're being played by the devil (I admit, I was being played too)..heck, we all are. Even prophets got deceived etc except for the angels. We go about our life out there trying to find partners each and every day. And if we do find one, is that really the partner that Allah have destined for us to be with? Oh sure we may say: "Yes, we're made for each other.."etc. Alright but stop kidding ourselves. At a certain point of time, surely, we'll feel bored etc..Trying to look for other guys/gals..IF that couple made it into marriage, most probably it won't stay for long as we have chosen our own partners instead of the one Allah have chosen for us.

Now, the big question. So how do we know that guy/gal is meant for us. If we don't look (as in ikthiar, we won't end up in marriage either). I posted this to her too, Here's the reply. When one is ready for marriage, one will know. My ustazah never had a boyfriend..then one day this guy(her husband nw) felt that its the right time and she felt it too..the end up marrying after looking at each other's background. No worries. Allah is All Knowing, The All Fair. Seseorang yang baik akan bersama orang yang baik vice versa. BUT, if Allah decided to give lets say a good guy ended up with a not so good gal, Allah is testing you and hopefully you'll be able to guide the gal...

As for the ikhtiar part, all we need is to perform our daily ibadah, continue studying/working hard, respect the elderly and Insya Allah all will fall in place nicely.(:

So stop looking and here's what she said to those who're currently attached ( I personally felt that's a little harsh though). " Break off! Simple. Tell to ur bf/gf we 're breaking off because of Allah. If we're really meant for each other, we'll somehow meet one day and end up in marriage. If ur gf/bf cannot wait and understand, just forget about her/him. Tahu2 je in a few months time u'll c him/her wf a different partner..But if he/she's faithful, then u'll know that that's the one for u..."

WaAllahu' alam...
