Song of the week; fragility of life


I have been listening to this song for a few months now, but it never occurred to me to actually pick it up as one of my songs of the week, until today finally came and I finally changed my mind.

 Here  how it goes...

 Just as any other weeked, I had my video session with Rahimah. We talked and talked till late at night. The fact that she was willing to wake up so early on a Sunday morning really touched me, but I'd never told her that. Then we got to talking about the condition of one of my family members who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. The day before yesterday my mom texted me saying that her condition was getting worse; at the time, she could not even open her own eyes anymore. The whole family returned home to visit her, including my parents. 

 I was praying the best for her, though deep down in my gut I knew that her chances are slim. This I knew from younger brother who read the doctor's report as well as the x-ray and stuff when they came down to KL last summer. Finally, earlier today, at approximately after Subuh prayer, I received a brief text from my mom telling me that she was gone. She went around the same time I was busy video-chatting with Rahimah about her, this was the reason why I spent quite some time of my Sunday morning staring out of my bedroom window. To me, it sure felt ironic that at the same time I was talking about her, God took her from us all.

 And that was just her 'leave', the after-effects has yet to come, what more when next Friday is Aidiladha. Wonder how that'll be like now that she is no more? 

 O God Almighty, I pray that You give us the strength and the courage to continue on, all with Your blessings.  For we are Yours, and one day we shall return to You.

 We were all born to this world in the same way, in bareness and nothing. Lets pray that when our calling is here, we return to Him not the same way. Allah, bless her soul.

PS: The reason why I posted this here is because I know all too well that nobody ever reads this, which makes it so perfect since I'd rather not share this too publicly. This is the sorrow of me & family, by right I will endure. 

I leave the rest to you.......

I have an idea, lets make a video project!

Last week, days before I sat for my first paper, I had this crazy idea for a video.  Given that this is the third and final year for my friends and me, I figured why not film a video about it. In the video, the host could ask them questions like: what is your best experience here so far?  how do you feel about finishing your studies soon?  will you miss being a university student? having studied overseas for the past three years, what are your words of advice to students back home?  then somewhere in there, if possible, we could even make some sort of a shout out to our sponsors! Thank you this/ that for making our dreams come true or something like that.  Alright, maybe the questions sound a bit cliche, but I am hoping that the participants would give out interesting responses to them. I had a vision of filming them in various location, just so that they will be more relaxed as the camera is rolling. In fact, the more chilled I can get them to be...

I should seriously punish myself for being so lazy in updating my blog. It's not that I am that busy that I do not have the time to actually do it, but the truth is, I am just plain lazy to do so. I mean, yeah, with my tablet and my smartphone, I should have been more active. I love my Tuesdays, not only because this is the day when I get to download new episodes of HIMYM as well as Gossip Girl, but particularly because I have no lectures on the day. Okay, maybe in the near future I might have some tutorials to attend, but since all UCL lectures are in two-hours block, an hour of tutorial goes by right before you know it. But they do get pretty boring and sleepy at times too, or maybe that's just me. Second year, time sure flies by so quickly. I can still vividly recall the memories of last year in my head, both the nice and the bad ones. For those of you who might still remember, I for one have a 'special' reason why I despise Sundays so much. Some of you out the...

Kisah si ayah dan anaknya....

Image
Today I would like to share a story with all of you; a story about a father and his son. Si anak sedang menuntut di sebuah kolej di ibukota, manakala bapanya tinggal di kampung bersama si ibu. Pada suatu hari, si bapa menelefon anaknya untuk bertanya khabar. Mereka berdua mula berbual tentang pelajaran si anak, kesihatan dan perihal keadaannya di sana; suatu dialog yang sering didengari antara seorang bapa dan anaknya. Setelah beberapa minit, si bapa memulakan ceritanya. Rupa-rupanya, si bapa ingin bercerita tentang kereta baru yang dihadiahkan oleh si abang kepadanya. Si bapa bercerita dengan penuh semangat sehinggakan si anak yang berada di hujung talian mula tersenyum. ‘Alhamdulillah, betapa gembiranya bapaku dapat kereta baru’, detikan hati si anak. Kemudian, si bapa pula memberitahu yang dia kini berada di hospital. Si bapa jatuh tergelincir seawal pagi tadi semasa dia baru sahaja keluar dari rumah. Dia mengalami kecederaan ringan di dagu dan kaki. Setel...
