le petit prince

Bismillah

A lot of us, were drawn to the book, and the wonders it brought us. (But of course, books of imagination tend to frustrate those without).

Finally got a weekend to watch the movie. And it was a lovely trip. It made me realised how I was taking things for granted. How I have forced myself to fit in, that I forgot how to be me. And how life is dull and uninteresting, only because I was too lazy to self actualise and recall who I was.

It is too early to say that I have found peace in my pieces of wrecked plans and runaway dreams, but I guess the goals now deserve a makeover, a neneknora-ish one.

Nah, belanja-ing a karaoke session. Cause I just found a way to clear my throat. Rrrrrrr

you need to be better

Bismillah

When someone is sent to you, to show you how to be merciful, then thank God you have been met in this world.

Because that way, you get to see how the world brightens up a little when they are around, and how your heart becomes lighter, at the thoughts of being assigned to work with them. And you directly visualised, how the workplace, can, indeed, be a better place!

Not many can be so passionate and calm at the same time. I hope I too, would develop those soon. Heres to embracing a new adventure,

Alhamdulillah
Bismillah

Love,

addicted

Bismillah

When the company you seek
Is what brings you down

You dare not blink
In case it calls you around

For days you feel sick
For nights you can not sleep

Afraid, afraid
Of the you, you tried to hide

But these voices, these choices
They are mine and mine alone

And yet, it is not me

Sometimes in life, you need to know that, you are not the only one battling a problem. I know it sounds bad, to hear that somebody else screwed up too, but there is comfort in knowing that you are not alone, even if the battle is one you have to face against the man in the mirror.

For I am, but a weak creation. And I fall so easily.

And I have decided to take the path of an anesthetist, after a long consideration. I can not, for the part of me, not accept, to proceed with the career unless I have mastered the art of resuscitation. And I hope the journey I have chosen will be fruitful and make me a better person than I was yesterday. (which means, a lot of studying and asking and hands on, the latter which, Alhamdulillah, I have been given a lot of chances to do).

And I hope to do excellent.

And circumstances lead me to rediscover my little hobbies again.

Dancing.

Definitely better than wallowing in misery dan melayan perasaan (to think I let myself do that before this. Pfft!)

Love,
Nora

ppytb

Bismillah

I read something regarding the skeleton in my closet. Boy, how I wish it were easy to let go of.

If feels like it is the only thing that is holding me back in life.

My only form of radical effort now is to work hard.

And You are telling me to be more earnest, are You not?

Save me from myself,
I really don't want to end up in hellfire.

Ouch. :'(

I owe myself lots of non fiction by the looks of it. Haha!

The main aim however is to teach children how to read with their heart. So that they are able to differentiate the good and the bad. And make a comparison of the whats real and not. And then extract all those lovely values, and the importance of understanding the different perspective an author and their characters would have. Then somehow, make them realise their value, principle and belief.

:) owh the joy of reading!

Kenapa

Bismillah.

I was asked why I still have the drive. And it is a question that doesn't surprise me. I have, like my colleagues been in that state where I thought just about anything is better than being a houseman. Haha.

Maybe with time, I realised that while ideal living was never something achievable, the only way I will get through this claimed suffering, as a better person, is by turning all the mess into a tool. And my, how much that change of perspective has helped me cope.

I have work at hand, but my job requires communication. And if I could, during rounds smile encouragingly at my patients. And on days when I can entertain their requests of buying credits for them to contact family members, then I would.

I used to dream of being great things, but He taught me to start small. Cause all great things must bud from somewhere. And to be consistent at doing small things, He said He rewards those more, yes?

What kept me going, was rather my keeping my dreams locked away, so that I could focus on what I can do in the now. And to be able to realise that, was Alhamdulillah.

I may not live the live I've always dreamed, but to be grateful for the now, Allah will offer more later, kan? I'll hold on to His promise.

Allahua'lam

al kahfi

Bismillah

The yearly mail from Bayyinah came.
And oh how I long for the day when I can finally register for the Quranic Arab course. Huaaa~~~

One of the requirements to join the programme, is to memorise surah al kahfi.

Planning to be there in another 5 years. Cause of the 9 months duration of the course. Must settle all things at home by then inshaAllah. Especially $$$-wise.
Jom siapkan diri.
