Let's do the right things!

Often I received these remarks and reactions from friends when i scolded 'em for littering....

"ala budak ni memang skema sikit wey...(gelak-gelak/sengih).."

"dia memang mcm tu...dia marah kalau orang buang sampah merata-rata.."

"die ni kesedaran sivik tinggi sikit weyh...jangan buang sampah merata2 depan die"

"......(just sengih)...."

and many more....

let me tell u this, littering is sooooo NOT cool my friends!

Why on earth do you have to litter when you have other ways to throw it away...bins are placed everywhere nowadays....why not use it? Even if there's no bin at that place at that moment, you can always keep it with you until you find the dustbins elsewhere...I do that all the time....i keep my trash in a plastic in my car and throw it away when i found dustbin....it's not too hard to do aren't it?

Even in Islam...we were taught ever since kindergarten, that "cleanliness is part of faith". So why litter? aren't "NOT LITTERING" is part of cleanliness?

"Islam places great emphasis on cleanliness, in both its physical and spiritual aspects. On the physical side, Islam requires the Muslims to clean their bodys, clothes, houses, and the whole community, and they will be rewarded by God for doing so. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said, for example:
“Removing any harm from the road is charity (that will be rewarded by Allah).” [Bukhari]"

"Littering, according to Sheikh Musa Furber, a researcher and scholar of Islamic sciences with the Abu Dhabi-based Tabah Foundation, goes against one of the most important tenets of Islam: doing good for others. The subject is mentioned in one of the hadiths, of which about 60,000 are known to exist. Reported by Abu Hurairah, a companion of the Prophet, the hadith dictates that removing harmful things from pathways is an act of charity."

See? not only that you have to keep yourself and your house and clothes clean....but the whole community. it's our responsible to keep clean. :)

how would you feel when u suddenly stepped on trash while walking on the road?

how would you feel when people throw rubbish in your territory/area?

Doesn't it annoys you?

You might think that you're the only one doing it and it's no big deal at all or it's just a small piece of sweet wrapper but have you ever thought that the little things that you do can give BIG impact to others whether you realize it or not.

Let's not litter shall we? Let's us together do the right things from now on...yosh!!

neither morning nor night person =_=

yawnnnnnn......=_= why does the office hours has to start so early during ramadhan?

*sleepy head thinking*

heheheh...that's the first thing that popped into my mind every morning...even when it's not ramadhan....huhu...(too honest i guess?) ha'ah memang pun...hahaha! i'm just not a morning person thats all....7.00am is the earliest!! which explain..why i picked 9am-6pm as my daily working hours... :)

even during my vacation in phuket recently, the boys were the ones preparing milo and food for breakfast while waiting for me to wake up and get ready for the day..lol.....same goes at home, my brothers were the one preparing sahur for us...huhuhu...such a shame! but what can i do?

i'm only productive during the day...once i'm awake, i'm ready to exhaust myself until the sun finally set at the end of the day...hehe...masak tengah hari dgn malam takde masalah...pagi makan cereal je lah ye? :p~~

as for night pulak, i'm not so much fan of night life...hehe...yes i enjoy chilling with my friends after work or weekend night...but that is what i called "kes-kes terpencil" sahaja...heheh~...u can bring me out, but i'll be sleeping soundly in the car while u guys have fun all night....hehehe....latest is 12pm...seconds more than that, yes! i can stay awake but my brain will have trouble staying focus...huhuhu...

well..that is just me being me....but of course, given responsibilities, i can still push myself to wake up early and stay up night..well, who doesn't? right? having to take care of my brothers and sisters when my parents when for my brother's graduation in US...i can still wake up early...hehehe....that! too is categorised as "kes-kes terpencil sahaja"....hehe..

secret recipe = my mom's!

ehemmmm! master chef ey?? *giggles*

the truth is, I've never been good at cooking...yes! i cook at home but my style is more like mixing whatever i have into one pan and voila!! there goes my meal for the day!! (hehe..perasan jamie oliver sekejap.. :p~~)hehe... i dun really cook proper meal on daily basis...BUT!!! I love cooking for my guest...and I only cook proper meal ONLY when there's guest in my house....LOL! so much of an excellent host.... :p hehehe....

BUT...(another but!) hehe...

trust me, I could never have done it without the help from my MOM!

yes! my mom! she's the secret behind all my mouth watering cuisines...even if she's not around, i will always have my phone with me so i can call her to make sure that i'm putting all the right ingredients...lol! sangat lah anak emak! knowing me, i'm a very forgetful person...even if i have cooked the same meal for 100 times, i still need my mom....and her cook book! hehehe...owh yes, speaking of cook book, my mom has this one thick ancient book where she wrote all the recipes from lauk pauk to kek and kuih raya...nyum nyum nyum!~~

if anyone were to ask me to pick just one thing in the world, it would have been my mom's cook book! :)

p/s: looking forward for this year's syawal...hopefully this time around i won't be too busy to host my annual open house :) any suggestion or request nak masak apa? :)

What are words.

"What are words

If you really don't mean them

When you say them

What are words

If they're only for good times

Then they don't

When it's love

Yeah, you say them out loud

Those words, They never go away

They live on, even when we're gone"

oh yes! it has been 3 months...looking forward for many loving months and years to come....

insyaAllah... :)

sweet serendipity.

ok, here's the thing...eversince last year i've been having some issues on managing my finance...and month on month i will always find myself thinking and planning on how to survive with the money that i'm left with after paying all the loans, rental, bills and car service/tax/repair yada yada yada...not proud of it...but! despite the long list of yada yada yada....i still managed to survive...phew! Thank God i always managed to find myself out without having to loan from others...it's just like the song:

"Something's watching over me like sweet serendipity..."

There's always generous people to belanja me for makan at the end of the month when everyone is already eager counting for the next payday (thank you!)....so makan is not an issue..and i can always cook at home too...thank God i'm not too picky so i can eat whatever...

but this month it's different....as usual, there's always either things to pay or things to repair/buy...this time around, it's my car tyre....hehe...i changed 2 of em cos one of em is already wear...so basically i'm left just some money which is not even enough to make me survive till end of the month...but as usual, i just believe that Allah will help me like always...besides, it's fasting month and i'm not going to spend much since we're not going to be eating much anyway....

until last week i received an sms frm a girlfriend, that her bf is searching for a room to rent for a month to put his things....being me, i just replied if it's just for 1 month, he can put his stuff in my house for free since i have one empty room...but they insist on paying and i said ok....

what a serendipity!

and yesterday, i received and email saying that my claims has been approved! ahhhh! another serendipity!

at the end of the day i found myself getting some lil extra for baju raya and fuel for travelling during raya....

And so i shall complete the sentence,

Today I observed my abundance when I realized that Allah will always be watching over me.....like sweet serendipity! alhamdulillah...

TING! today I observed my abundance when...

I decided to fill this blog with my gratitude journal hoping that at the end of the day i could look back into this blog and see thousands of reasons for me to appreciate my life and my surrounding...

I learn to do this from the Law of Attraction course i attended last year...i used to write it in my diary...each day my sentence will starts with: Today I observed my abundance when...(fill in the blank)

Now that i decided to blog again...(after a year???lol) so why not share it with others...

Let the blogging begins...happy reading peeps!~~ :)
