from my nimble little fingers

it takes a relapse of creativity and yes, that needed support and convincing to make something worthwhile out of my free time at home. so i made a fabric sewn-on brooch (:


it's nice to do something for someone once in awhile or when it matters. you get to forget about yourself and all the self-centredness that comes with it in order to just dedicate a second in being empathetic. we need to be strong and brave for the people even if deep down inside, we are just as scared and want to run away from it all as an easy escape. afterall, its not our problem. but that sweet taste of sacrifice at the end is what keeps us going because we know it will all be worth it in our hearts.

i'm excited for tomorrow! weeee~ all the missing youS is worth the wait ((;

a woman's worth

Ku akan menjagamu
Di bangun dan tidurmu
Di semua mimpi dan nyatamu
Ku akan menjagamu
Tuk hidup dan matiku
Tak ingin, tak ingin kau rapuh

Dik, jangan engkau pergi tinggalkan aku
Dik, ingin aku cinta dan cinta slalu
Saat kau tengah terluka
Kala kau tengah gundah

I used to feel fragile but I'm learning to be delicate.

Setiap kesulitan atau cabaran yang diberi Tuhan tidak tanpa bersebab atau hikmahnya. Akan sentiasa ada hamba Allah yang lebih menderita. Aku hanya dapat merasa sedikit percikkannya.

wanita itu bagaikan angin

lembutnya melenakan,
ributnya menggusarkan.

what the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over

quoted from the zahir.

and I would also add: what the ear doesn't hear, the mind doesn't worry over.

seems very true ain't it? that's why I guess it is better to be less vocal and more tamed or even more diverted in speech. sometimes, I adopt this method for the better; against the ill exposure of my true-est feelings. moreover, I am not gifted a language person. summary; precisely expressing intent, is never my forte. thus, that explains why I tend to be like a nagging mum; goes round and round in circles and longwindedness. else, I tend to be vague (maybe it is just like what I am doing now). even so, it takes a lot of thought processing which at times bring about new perspectives and then, further thought processing. it's a cycle.

which reminds me of my-daily-life-cycle-post-exams. patience and faith, patience and faith.

my wonderwall

We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

When you can't wait any longer
But there's no end in sight
It's the faith that makes you stronger
The only way you get there
Is one step at a time

For many, exams are only nearing or just beginning. This is the time of the year where I find myself stuck in a transition. While my exams are over, others are still stressing or mugging their way through. You guys should find the comfort in knowing my rejuvenation was short lived because of that...no I'm just kidding. ((:

I received a sharing. I think it's only right to share it further to benefit more.

Knowledge Vs Wealth

Ali (RA) was once asked what was better: wealth or knowledge. He said, Knowledge is superior to wealth for ten reasons:

(1) Knowledge is the legacy of the prophets. Wealth is the inheritance of the Pharaohs. Therefore, knowledge is better than wealth.

(2) You have to guard your wealth but knowledge guards you. So knowledge is better.

(3) A man of wealth has many enemies while a man of knowledge has many friends. Hence knowledge is better.

(4) Knowledge is better because it increases with distribution, while wealth decreases by that act.

(5) Knowledge is better because a learned man is apt to be generous while a wealthy person is apt to be miserly.

(6) Knowledge is better because it cannot be stolen while wealth can be stolen.

(7) Knowledge is better because time cannot harm knowledge, but wealth rusts in course of time and wears away.

(8) Knowledge is better because it is boundless while wealth is limited and you can keep account of it.

(9) Knowledge is better because it illuminates the mind while wealth is apt to blacken it.

(10) Knowledge is better because knowledge induced the humanity in our Prophet to say to Allah, "We worship Thee as we are Your servant," while wealth engendered in Pharaoh and Nimrod the vanity which made them claim Godhead.

Knowledge is better than wealth, but sharing is a wealth of knowledge. So how? Just my personal musing. ;-b

In our quest for knowledge, we sometimes get too caught up with the overwhelming stress, headaches and fatigue to do well. Even I feel guilty for putting too much mental pressure on myself. I love what I'm studying but too many a times I fail to truly enjoy and appreciate its contents as much as I've should. Afterall, its knowledge for the taking that shouldn't be confined to the moment I submit my exam script. For one, I need to really work on that lack of time management that has been a problem since forever.

On a side note, mentel ain I went for reflexology!

Take a break, well you can have a kit kat, but you can consider reflex too! Or any other personal pampering will do. It'll do wonders ((:

rejuvenate

Exams finally over. This semester wasn't as breeze sailing as I remembered the last. Thank god its over. One thing for sure, the stress was good. Though tough, it pushed me to my limits in a positive way. One last semester to graduation? I don't even want to think what that next step is going to be like.
