When all that’s around you
Seems awkward with trouble
When people surround you
And make your work double
When all you can think of
Is why do they pry
When words seem to fail you
It’s ok to sigh
When all that surrounds you
Is hopeless and sad
When some people harm you
They treat you so bad
When they leave you so lonely
And tell you a lie
When no thought seems to comfort
It’s ok to cry
When tears sting the lonely
And your empty heart aches
When your question you ask
Is why my heart breaks
When friends reach a hand to you
Once more you ask why
When you sit there and wonder
It’s ok to cry
When you ask yourself why again
Your heart full of fear
When all around hurts so
Just too much to bear
When you need help understanding
You know you must try
When nothing else helps you
IT’S OK TO CRY

” Real Women Have Curves “
Real women have curves, wrinkles, and flaws.
Each one earned with experience, perseverance and determination.
There’s no computer to airbrush your mistakes.
Let them make you who you are.
Love every mark, every scar, every extra curve you wished to go away,
Accept what you can’t learn to love,
Then let go of what you can’t accept.
Treasure them for their memories
Like a worn love letter or ratty old quilt from generations of old.
Each wrinkle comes with the wisdom only years of life can give.
And life is not to be hidden or covered up.
For life is how a girl grows into a woman
And real women have curves.

If you cannot be of the poor, then be with the poor. If you cannot be with the poor, then pray with the poor. And if you cannot pray with the poor, then pray for the poor. Beyond this there remains not an atom’s weight of faith.

” It Was In Kindergarten “
Most of what I really need to know about how to live, and what to do, and how to be, I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate-school mountain, but there in the sandbox.
These are the things I learned. Save everything. Play fair. Don’t hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Don’t take things that aren’t yours. Say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Live a balanced life. Learn some and think some, and draw and sing and dance and play and
work every day some.
Take a nap in the afternoon. When you go out into the world, watch for traffic, hold hands and stick together. Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the plastic cup? The roots go down and the plant goes up, and nobody really knows why, but we are all like that.
Goldfish and hamsters and white mice — and even the little seed in the plastic cup — they all die. So do we.
And then remember the book about Dick and Jane and the first word you learned, the biggest word of all: LOOK. Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The golden rule and love and basic sanitation.
Ecology and politics and sane living.
Think of what a better world it would be if we all had cookies and milk about three o’clock every afternoon and then laid down with our blankets for a nap. Or if we had a basic policy in our nation and other nations always to put things back where we found them and
cleaned up our own messes.
And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.

Often your tasks will be many,
And more than you think you can do.
Often the road will be rugged
And the hills insurmountable, too.
But always remember,
The hills ahead
Are never as steep as they seem,
And with Faith in your heart
Start upward
And climb ‘til you reach your dream.
For nothing in life that is worthy
Is ever too hard to achieve
If you have the courage to try it,
And you have the faith to believe.
For faith is a force that is greater
Than knowledge or power or skill,
And many defeats turn to triumph
If you trust in Allah’s wisdom and will.
For faith is a mover of mountains,
There’s nothing that Allah cannot do,
So, start out today with faith in your heart,
And climb ‘til your dream comes true!

Assalamualaikum..
It’s a Saturday night. Home alone with Mom. Dad went on fishing trip to Mersing with jemaah Ar-Raudhah. Brother went JB. And I enjoyed my time with Mom, reading the Quran together. Been a while. Saturday, is like any other Saturdays for me for the past 4 months or so.
Began the day this morning to school, even though I’m still having fever. Had it for the past few days or so. On and off. Brother volunteered to chauffeur me and mom today since im feeling weak. As usual, im quite early reaching school. It has always been my habit to reach early. In my blood i guess. I was half dead and class event not yet started. That’s how weak I felt today, but i was eager to hand in my assignment. And got quite a shock when I got to know I’m one of the 4 that did it in English. Another assignment given; this time tougher. ” The Challenges Of Having A Materialistic Attitude In Life”. I dont even know where to start on this one. Ustaz Zulkiflee will be away for umrah next week for 2 weeks, so his place will be taken by someone else. And i’m being elected by the class to be the head of class for the next 3 months. :(
Gotta stop here for a while.. More coming soon..
