Moving Life

Death is always near
If we do realise
With a silence thought
It is not far

Death waits for nobody
It will strike anytime
If the call has come
For you to leave the world

Death does not concern
Either you are young or old
Life is indeed short
If we realise it

Ya Allah, guides me
To treasure my life
Ya Allah, leads me
To the blessing path

Noraidah Bte Ahmad

Life has to move on even when you are down with pain and disappointment. Failures have been part of my life and I realise one thing, to achieve happiness, it needs sacrifications and obstacles to overcome before you could taste the sweetness.

Ya Allah, your guidance has brighten my heart and mind. I am grateful to you. You know what difficulties i had gone through. Those tears i cried, those pains i suffered, i accepted with open heart. I knew those were tests from You. (",) I pray may future tests are not beyond my limit, amin.

~ Moving Thought ~

Moving Thought

Either I should laugh or not
Either I should smile or not
Either I should cry or not
I completely don't know

It is too late to realise now
Sacrifications do not guarantee happiness
Whenever old history knocks my head
It will shatter my heart

Too much pain and tears
Too much sorrow and agony
Embedded in the old history
Which seems impossible to erase

Ya Allah, please help me
My strength has breakdown
Only You can save me
From this friendship that full of illusion

Assalamualaikum (",)

Alhamdulillah, with Allah's blessings, I am able to continue to write my blog. Okay, let's me record down what had happened in my life for the past few weeks...

School Life

• My exam is from 18th October to 22th October 2004. 5 days straight without a break in between.
• My study break is from 11th October to 15th October 2004. Yeah, break! But Study! Hehehz
• After the last paper which falls on 22th October, I will be away for one and a half month. The school would send me for Industrial Training Programme. It is basically a job attachment. The company which the school would send me is American Academic Alliance.. hmmm... well, I will head to America! Yahooz...(In my Dream yah!)
• My cucom project is selected for school filming and my members selected me as their leader. Well gals, insya Allah, I will do my job very well. "Ya Allah, please guide me". The school producer, Mr Jack Shuo, is a humorous and fun guy but serious when comes into business... All praises to Allah, for giving us this opportunity in gaining experience in filming. I have no experience so do my members. There will be a role play and presentation as well. Pressure? Come on Aidah! Be Postive! ;)
• Alhamdulillah, my ecommerce project has settled at last except for burning. Tomorrow will be the last day for school before study break

Volunteer at Mosque

• Alhamdulillah, Ramadhan month is coming. I am in charge in handling a small project on gathering information about the holy month and put up all the research on the notice board under Youth Wing. Pretty touch and challenging. " La haula wa la Quwaata Illa Billahil 'Ali 'Azhim"
• I would give my best and whatever i do is for Allah ;)

And this time around, it is not a poem but a journal which i wrote when i signed up for Social Psychology Class.This Journal was marked by my Tutor. All Praises To Allah, I received good remarks from her.

My Thoughts About Introduction To Social Psychology

I used to ponder stuff such as why those football hooligans behave in uncivilized manner when their countries lost? Why those girls or boys can be greatly influenced by their idols? Why some people are so unpredictable? These are the reasons that lead to the growth of my interest in learning social psychology.

My friend did ask me to consider of taking up business etiquette. I told her, I wanted to pursue something that I am had been longing to learn for. In addition, I had learnt business etiquette before.

My first thought of Introduction to social psychology is how to understand people’s behaviors. The first lesson that I had attended, however, added something to my earlier thought on psychology. It is about interacting, observing and understanding on human beings behaviors. In other words, learn to comprehend on why human beings behaving or thinking in a certain manner. It is interesting to find out those researches that had been discovered in finding out the reasons why human behaves in a particular manner.

In the first lesson, we were taught the basic foundation of the psychology. For an example, Social Psychology is defined as the scientific study of the way in which people’s thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by the real or imagined presence of other people. (Allport 1985, quoted in Aronson, 2002) From the definition given, it already gave me a clear idea about social psychology world. In the second lesson, we were taught about Social Cognition and Social Perception. There were a lot of theories involved and I found them to be very interesting in identifying and classifying human behaviors. It was hard at first to absorb but as examples were given, I am able to catch up.

In overall view, social psychology does help me in becoming more conscious about the environment around me and also answering those questions that I had been wondering about. I found it to be a very useful tool in interacting with humans and especially with my parents, other cultural groups and old people. It does help me in having positive thinking in reacting to a situation, which might appear unpleasant.

Being able to understand a human and not judging them here and there with own perceptions, would be most likely to be one of the keys towards building healthy and positive relationships with family, teachers, friends, colleagues and anyone on this planet.

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh (",)

I went to Geylang today with my mum, brother, uncle, auntie, cousins and grandparents. My intention of joining my mum is to buy a book that i have been longing for to have it... Guess what? Alhamdulillah, i am so grateful to Allah... I managed to get hold of that book... It is Rabiatul Adawiyah.... The title is Kisah Rabi'ah Al-Adawiyah Sufi Wanita & Aroma Cinta Illahi...I bought it at first level and the price tag is $7...Thank you to my mum for sponsoring.. hehehez

The other three books are Siti Aisyah, Fatimah Az-Zahra and Siti Khadijah... Three Great Muslimah and each has their own uniqueness in making islam people full of admirations just like Rabiatul Adawiyah ;) ... I am hoping to get hold of these three books insya Allah...

I am pretty tired but the outing was great... I could see some people carrying charity works...

Well, my poem for today is

Menempuh Satu Perjuangan

Satu kehidupan satu perjuangan
Dan dirangkumi pelbagai dugaan
Menghendaki diri penuh ketabahan
Untuk mengharungi pelbagai ujian

Aku memejamkan kedua mataku
Sambil ditemani sang bayu
Merenungkan segala yang berlalu
Meneliti setiap sejarah kehidupanku

Keluhan kekesalan keluhan kegembiraan
Bermain di ruang mindaku
Hanya tangisan dan senyuman
Menggantikan bicara di hatiku

Kedengaran kekicauan burung merpati
Mengheretku kembali pada realiti
Dan kehidupan harus diteruskan
Walau apa jua keadaan

Terdengar satu bisikan syahdu
Allah akan sentiasa bersamamu
Dan engkau tidaklah keseorangan
Dalam menempuh satu perjuangan

Assalamualaikum (",)

In the morning, i went to see doctor at Bukit Batok Polyclinic for treating my rashes. Doctor Jane De Cruz, (I bet she is a Philippines) informed me that the rashes is actually a form of encyzema, i am not too sure how to spell it though but the pronounciation is enzemia... According to the doctor, the rashes cannot be cured but can be treated. Her explanation was exactly the same given by a doctor from National Skin Centre. It was not surprising though... Well, both did mention that going abroad might have the chance to cure the rashes... hahahaz.. perhaps i should try to go abroad too! Well, where should it be? Arab Saudia? Australia? New Zealand? hehez..

Late in the afternoon, i spent my time sleeping! Yesterday, i did not have good sleep, kept on tossing here and there... and now is night time, i feel quite freshen up and i just applied the cream to my rashes. I am alone at home and supposingly, i should have gone to Al-Iman Mosque for Forum Perdana.... I missed it! :(
My family is over at my auntie's house for my cousin birthday... i did not go because i want to treat my rashes...

Well, this is my poem for today...

Pelayaran Sebuah Cinta

Pelayaran sebuah pengertian cinta
Di antara dua jiwa
Kau dan aku dipertemukan
Dan terjalinnya satu ikatan

Engkau telah memberikan kekuatan
Yang luar biasa terhadapku
Sentuhan cintamu penuh keikhlasan
Telah memberikan semangat kepadaku

Jika dahulu aku ketakutkan
Untuk mengharungi titian kehidupan
Kini aku penuh keyakinan
Untuk meneruskan satu perjuangan

Pertemuan kita mungkin berlainan
Menerusi dunia merangkumi kata
Ia merupakan anugerah Tuhan
Yang diberikan pelbagai cara

Tidak ingin aku melambatkan
Tidak ingin aku mempercepatkan
Apa yang mampu dilakukan
Ialah meredhai ketentuan Tuhan

Ya Allah, ajarilah diriku
Menyintai dirinya dengan keikhlasan
Dan tanpa melupakan menyintaiMu
Cinta yang terus berkekalan

Pelayaran sebuah pengertian cinta
Telah mengajarku erti cinta
Menyintaimu, menyayangimu, dan merinduimu
Sehingga ke akhir hayatku

I have three presentations next week and a test.. wow.. that would be gonna be as great as ever! hahahz...

This will be my poem for today.. it was created this year as well just like the previous

My Soul

I listen to my soul
Listen to the inner voice
Whispering something to me
That I need to know

I breathe out slowly
And I listen carefully
To every single word
That penetrates into my heart

“ You are not alone
Allah is always with you
He is there with you
Through thick and thin

You are the one
Whom abandon the Almighty
But He was known
To be a forgiving

Come back to Him
To the real place
Where you are actually belong
He always waiting for you

For all the sins
Shall be forgiven
Always open His door
To welcome you back”

Tears flow down gently
As I realize the mistakes
That I had made
Throughout my whole life

Oh Allah, please forgive me
Through my own soul
You conveyed the deep message
I am yours forever…

Assalamualaikum (",)
I decided to create a blogspot because of my passion in writing... I am still new to this blogspot world....
Well no matter what, there is always a room for learning!

An online diary like blogspot helps me a lot in terms of time. I am still a student and my study environment is expose much to IT. I could very well say that much of the time is spend on the computer screen. And i think my face is becoming squarish! hahahaz.... well, in addition, i love computer and i love to surf... well what should i include in this blogspot? ermmm 90% would be based on my writings and 10% record about other stuff such as school and family.. (",)

This would be my first poem for today journal:

Pendayung Sampan

Aku ibaratkan perjalanan kehidupanku
Umpamakan seorang pendayung sampan
Mendayung sendirian tanpa berteman

Dalam panas dalam hujan
Itu diibaratkan liku-liku kehidupan
Menerima pelbagai bentuk ujian
Untuk menguji keteguhan iman

Sebagai seorang hamba Illahi
Aku tidak terkecuali diuji
Segala kemungkaran yang berlaku
Menguji tahap keteguhan imanku

Sampan yang telah tenggelam
Di dalam lautan ini
Umpamakan iman dalam keruntuhan
Oleh kebodohan diriku sendiri

Sesunggunya Allah tidaklah kejam
Sampan dikembalikan di permukaan
Diberi pelbagai peluang lagi
Agar keinsafan meresapi diri

Mendayunglah semula pendayung sampan
Mengharungi setiap bentuk ujian
Teruskanlah memelihara keteguhan iman
Dalam apa jua keadaan

Pukulan ombak yang menyeramkan
Diibaratkan ujian kepada iman
Ya Allah, hamba berlindung kepadaMu
Ya Allah, selamatkanlah, peliharalah imanku
