Her Waffles with Sprinkles and Cream

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. * I am beyond glad seeing a super senior getting married to somebody whom I know personally. Though it is indeed surreal, I really can't fake my happiness. Looking at their wedding photos, both of them grinning at the camera, holding each other's hands~ They look sooo cute together! Alhamdulillah that they are united by Allah and I pray that their marriage will last forever, insyaAllah till jannah, for real :) aminnn (of course, this prayer is for my dear friend who got married last year too hihi) * I always like to discuss about the matter of marriage. (It might be because I accidentally bought the book 'Pemilik Cintaku Setelah Allah dan Rasul' when I was 14 haha. Maybe!) The idea of devoting a huge part of your life to a stranger and sharing (almost) everything with that somebody is just unimaginable. Not THAT unimaginable since we are fed with countless romance series on TV showing the lives of married couples - mostly based...

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. At times of ease, I always tell myself that if I were to face harsh times, I must be fully prepared for the worst. It is as if I can maintain my composure when dealing with difficulties. That was what I thought and yet, I could not even hold my tears when hearing a news that broke my heart. We can easily ask people to do this and that, whilst we are the one who'd be struggling to practise what we preached. Allah is merely testing me on this one thing that I've always asked from Him - to make my heart feels resigned if things don't go the way I want them to be. It's actually hard to be patient, it's difficult to not get disappointed if we have already put high hopes in something that we really really really want to happen. I must admit that I have a problem dealing with my own heart, especially jealousy (I silently pray that it is not going to transform me into a girl with hasad). I don't want to stay the same me, I want to be mo...

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Having the sky as my canvas, having the birds chirping as the music, I reckon that Allah is beckoning me to start pondering on the pleasures that He gives me for free. Yes, it is true that valuable things in life are gained without having to spend your money on it. One of them is contentment- to feel just enough with everything that we have right now. (This is my personal way of defining 'contentment' anyway. What's yours?) Even the slightest breeze of wind can make you feel at ease, through and through; provided that Allah allows that small thing to actually 'touch' your heart. We often complain and shutting our eyes to the joys around us. The whiners always see the dark side of life, insisting on saying that the hitches are more abundant than the pleasures that they have. Being the forgetful human beings, we don't remember that since the first day on Earth, Allah has given everything (yes, EVERYTHING!) that we need without aski...

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. All praises to Him that it's already a month (approximately) that KMS has become a part of me. Though this may sound cliche, indeed time flies so fast that I'm now a college student who's only a step away in getting what she has craved for since forever (haha forever lah sangat, waktu Form 3 je baru dapat ilham Allah bagi nak pergi oversea ni ha). I know that I've wronged gazillion times before and am quite certain that mistakes + sins will be made every day as long as I'm breathing. We are made of imperfections. But He has always believed that us, the imperfect human beings are the most perfect creature who will bring goodness to the world (in performing our duty as His khalifah), who will  be in His heaven (and an-Nar as well), there in the afterlife. Through the true stories that were told to me via the countless talks/sharing sessions here in KMS or maybe through the TV programmes etc, I come to the realisation that Allah is indee...

She didn't agree with my wish of pursuing my studies abroad when I first told her about it. She just knew (and still knows) that I wouldn't bear living thousands of kilometers away from the family, especially her. You're right ibu, I would never stand living so far away from you. Nonetheless, if I were to study here in Malaysia, I would still feel homesick anyway. It is of no difference; whether living in the UK (haaaaa insyaAllah kalau dapat good news esok!) or here. I will still be the 'homesick me'. * I was once wounded by the words of a very significant person in my life, he told me that he didn't want me to turn into a 'bad me' if I were to study at the other side of the Earth. Ibu was the one who consoled me, telling me that he just didn't understand the (burning) desire in my heart to go there. ''Risaukan angah, sebab tu ..... cakap macam tu.'' I couldn't say anything good at that time (because my brain was so f...

Alhamdulillah. Apa yang saya nak sudah tercapai dan hanya Allah yang tahu perasaan saya currently.  A mixture of disbelief, joy, shock, happiness, grateful etc.  I could never describe this feeling really.  Lepas ni macam-macam yang saya kena tempuh sendiri dan saya tak pasti sama ada saya akan kuat untuk terima semua dugaan yang mendatang. Dan peristiwa semalam, peribahasa yang amat sesuai dengan semalam ialah, Ku sangkakan panas hingga ke petang tetapi hujan di tengah hari. Ya, saya tahu orang risau tentang saya yang punya impian tinggi segunung, yang bukan mudah untuk tercapai tapi istilah 'impossible' itu tak patut diletak sekali. Segalanya mungkin selagi hayat dikandung badan, selagi Allah mengizinkan.  Hanya Allah yang tahu betapa gembiranya bila dapat tahu keputusan itu. Rasa tidak percaya itu ada, tetapi air mata yang hanya mampu mengalir menemani diri yang rasa sungguh tak layak nak dapat yang itu. Tapi, Allah sudah kata "...

The fact that I am going to sit for Add. Maths tomorrow doesn't stop me from turning on this device, you see. It's just because I am super excited of how Allah has treated me! He has been good to me, way too good, not only today, tapi sesungguhnya sejak azali lagi. *Ntah lah, ni cuma catatan. Malas nak tulis dalam diary or anything, the mood of writing by hand tu macam tak ada sekarang ni.* I had Pend. Islam papers this morning. I had to sacrifice my bedtime last night just to cover all the topics. Yes, I know, last minute study will do me no good. Being stressed out and all, I caged myself in this apple-scented room with the company of a few cups of coffee just to avoid myself from collapsing. With the headaches, hunger (read: this happens due to the fact that I thought that by consuming the rice, I'd be wasting my 15 minutes time which I could spend on reading, no?), wearied eyes, confused mouth which rambled unfathomable words, I tried to digest each and every alphab...

#1 The trail which I have been friends with since 2009 to get to the school.Yes, bushes are everywhere. But alhamdulillah, so far, everything has been made easy for us. No bad things has ever happened to us, thank God! And yes, it's only 4 months away to leave this. #2 This was taken during the holiday class (subject: Additional Mathematics) where I was forced to go into 4 Cerdas (kelas sebelah 5 Arif) because I was the only girl who arrived the earliest. Spending time in this class, capturing some photos hehe. #3 During the holiday class (subject: Sejarah) too. And unfortunately, when we had arrived school, Hawa told us that the class was cancelled. Being stuck in the class because of the rain, we had to wait for quite a long time before being served spaghetti bolognaise by our Chemistry teacher. Waaaa, rezeki!  #4 Kem Matematik PMR 2012. One word: dramatic.   #5 Heaven on earth ey?  #6  #7 Futsal sempena Ha...

Oh my! This is a sad story though, at least for me. sumber In case you don't know, the small beautiful flower above is called 'bunga rumput' (I've googled the English name for this flower but sadly, I didn't find any). Truth to be told, before I read someone's blog post on the other day about this Allah's creature, I've never even heard about the flower. Nobody has ever told me about this, really. :( Never mind. I now know about you, bunga rumput ! Miraculously, after getting to know about the flower, Allah gave me the chance to actually see the bunga rumput s with my own eyes! That happened this morning, when Athirah and I were on the way to school. Sumpah banyaaaaak sangat bunga rumput yang tak pernah dilihat sebelum ni sedang blooming. Cantik! Do you want to know something, Amal? I felt like Allah was telling you to calm down, no matter how big is the problem you are facing at the moment. Though Allah is always giving signals that ...

Though I've kinda made a promise on updating this blog, I screwed it because I didn't have the chance of writing down all those beautiful things that has happened to me since the last post. Hectic life; I can put it that way. At the moment we think we can do everything, Allah makes us stop thinking that way by holding back the pleasures of our life for quite sometime. It is only to remind us that we are mere slaves. Sometimes, I am too engrossed with what I can see rather than taking a very good care of what's not to be seen.  The relationship with The One. Hmm, kena jaga elok-elok ni, Amal.  Sebabnya, kalau Allah ada, semuanya akan baik. If only you keep this in mind at all time.   Sewaktu awak rasa orang lain tu penting, awak letak Allah kat mana? Jangan lupa Dia, jangan lupa Dia. Orang lain tu semua milik Allah. Bayangkan, kalau semua orang yang awak sayang tu Allah ambil balik? Ya, saya tau awak akan sedih, awak akan rasa kehilangan. Therefore, don...
