Assalamualaikum People Jessienta sent me this and I think it would be nice if I put it here so that I won't forget those little things that have big impact in my life particularly, and maybe yours too. Enjoy it :) Written by Regina Brett, of the Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio . "To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most requested column I've ever written. My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more: 1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good. 2. When in doubt, just take the next small step. 3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. 4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch. 5. Pay off your credit cards every month. 6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree. 7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone. 8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it. (well,this is kind of misl...

Yet Another Story

I have no intention to humiliate people at all; I just want to write it here so that if one day I feel bad about my life, I will quickly open this up and read it again. It is just a reminder for my own self, to help me to feel grateful in each and every way. It is just a reminder that no matter how miserable my life is, it could be worse. I twisted some of the plot but the main point is there. Anyway, today was the Meeting with Parent’s day. Since my school is so called the best school in the district, the attendance of the parents is always 100%. I just want to a tip bit of it here: A man at my grandfather’s age came with one my students. I have 20 students, and this was the last one to come. Everyone in the class has came with their parents. After they had seated, the man started the conversation. The man : Assalamualaikum cikgu. Saya ni datuk Amin (bukan nama sebenar). Mak dia sibuk kerja Me : owh waalaikumussalam pakcik. Takpe, siapa-siapa pun boleh datang pakcik. Asalkan a...

To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return

Assalamualaikum people In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the All Compassionate My parents and I just came back from Kota Tinggi to pay our last respect to my brother's father in law, Pak Mat. He died peacefully around 1.30 am this morning, without any illness. He was a healthy man. It was not easy for me to see Kak Suzy's siblings and her mother cried over someone they loved so much, had actually gone and will never come back. It was not easy for me as I could not even imagine what I would do if I were in their shoes. People, the period following death is actually the time to celebrate Allah's kindness. It is actually the time to be thankful to Allah for the time the loved one was here on earth . Elun doakan Akak dan keluarga terus tabah dan sabar. I know it was not that easy. Berat mata yang memandang, berat lagi bahu Akak yang memikul semua. We are all here for you, just don't forget that. Semoga arwah tergolong dalam golongan yang beriman insyaAllah Al.Fatihah...

How I wish (Part 1)

Assalamualaikum People How I wish children go to school for the love of learning, rather than for scoring straight A’s in all examinations How I wish teachers go to school for the love of sharing knowledge, rather than fighting for putting the school to be the number one in all examinations How I wish all people take care of the nature for their children can see the beautifulness, rather than polluting and dirtying all the rivers, forest and sea How I wish those politicians works for the sake of helping the fellow citizens, rather than for getting more money for their own family How I wish all parents perform their duties to the family as khalifahs that guide the whole family to Jannah, rather than been too busy with endless tasks at the workplace, leaving the family in chaos How I wish all rich people use their money to help those poor, rather than spending on useless things How I wish all people work 8-4 and then go home and spending time with the family in the park, a...

I almost hit a romantic couple of elderly on a motorcycle when I was trying to get out from a junction today . It was my bad.

One of my students wrote in her essay homework given during ...

Sedih

Assalamualaikum people Yes, as the entry said, I am terrified. My parents, my sister and I went to Hospital Sultanah Aminah today to visit my aunt, Fu Saleha. And to tell you the truth, I did not even know why she was there All I know was, the pain was something to do with her ulcer in the stomach She collapsed and admitted to ICU yesterday and Alhamdulillah she was moved to normal ward today Looking her lying lethargically, with all her children (except one,Amri, who was on his way all the way from London) around her, most of them with red and teary eye, was just a heartache. And for the first time in my life, I saw my uncle hugged my dad, tightly and cried on my dad's shoulder. It was like I was watching another soap drama. And the only major difference was, it happened to people I know I was bitting my lips, trying hard to hold back the tears أَذْهِبْ الْبَاسَ رَبَّ النَّاسِ , وَاشْفِ أَنْتَ الشَّافِي , لا شِفَاءَ إِلا شِفَاؤُكَ شِفَاءً لا يُغَادِرُ سَقَمًا “Ambillah penyakit Ya...
