SEVEN REMINDERS from a sinner.


Assalam 'alaykum. ♥

 Monday - Ramadhan 19

 This holy month of Ramadhan has come to more than its half. Tomorrow we'll start counting the blessing of the last ten nights of Ramadhan, attempting to obtain the night that is better than a thousand months. 

 Alhamdulillah, I've been blessed with the chances to perform in the last eleven-ten days of this holy months and I'm really really really grateful. Cause usually I can't. hoho 
Keep praying so that we can perform really well, in the pink of health and strive in Ramadhan to make it our turning point - to be a better practicing Muslim onward.

 Seven simple yet not so easy to do/not to do during Ramadhan:

 1. Do not backbite people - especially when you're online. Be it Instagram or Facebook. Backbite people won't make you better than them anyway. If you like 'em, double tap. If you don't, scroll faster. Don't be such a hater.

 2. Try to talk less - the more you talk, the more nonsense it can be. So shut the mouth. There's reason why your ears are two and your mouth is one.

 3. Lower the gaze - If you're a man, this practice should be implemented asap. Because guys can see what girls don't if you know what I mean. *smirk* . Then if you're woman, lower the gaze can help the mouth to not to talk bad about someone you're looking at. Dosa perempuan banyak berasal dari lisannya. 

 Let me give you a situation. 
You're wandering at a bazaar, looking for your craved food since sahoor. Ceh! Letting your eyes went wild, with women dressed like it's not Ramadhan or guys wearing shorts shorter than it should be or someone doing something you don't really understand what the geez of the actions and so on. You'll start to think dirty -  you'll start to feel annoyed - you'll be distracted from your Ramadhan goals!
Hence, lower the gaze then the mouth will behave.

4. Make the most of it - Ramadhan comes only once a year, bro. This year's could be your last Ramadhan. And its thirty days fly way too fast! Pahala pun berlipat ganda kan. Moga Allah izin :)

5. Turn yourself into a better version of you - Some Muslim do change their way of presentations during Ramadhan to respect the holy month. Some stay the way they are. It depends on individuals to make the change permanent or temporary - but the efforts of making the change is what matters. At least they tried, have you? 

6. Be friend with Quran -  Quran is a book/mushaf consisted of science and signs. There're history, legislation, cures, tranquilizers, ideas of knowledge and signals. There are two sources in Islam that if you hold on them as long as you live, you won't be astray; Al-Quran and As-Sunnah. This sentence may be cliche' for some people, but it is a guarantee made by Allah. 

 7. Do not wait, do not hesitate, do not be afraid - of giving advice, of speaking good language, of reminding others. The words you said may be your witness of your action. 
Belum cukup baik~ Nak tunggu bila ya baru baik?
Yang cakap pun 2X5~ At least aku tak tunggu sampai 2X10 macam kau baru nak beringat-ingat.
Kubur masing-masing~ sebab kubur asing lah kita saling mengingati. dekat mahsyar nanti jumpa balik, jangan nak tarik-tarik ya? 

Little by little, change. 
Dramatically, its dangerous. abrupt withdrawal may occur. 
Sikit-sikit tapi tidak terlalu sedikit, ubah bearing, tukar orienteering, looking for better direction. 

regards, 
Akhawat sinner.

I didn't expect any but a more relaxed life after BPharm. It turns out to be a bored, waiting for something unconfirmed and life with a repeated routine. You're unemployed (mostly), broke, atrophic brain (unless you've started studying and playing memory games) and contemplating the slow-moving pace. Well, apparently, the life shouldn't be like that if you know what to do with your life. I didn't say that stay-at-home as an unemployed young adult is useless but the term of "berguna" applies only if they know how to make the time valuable and productive. It's your life and the choices are yours to make. Whether to lead boredom conquers life doing nothing, or to make life interesting and productive even if you're jobless. Here's something to think. The hikmah for those who still at home with endless chores and same routine every day until SPA interview are 1. You can always spend most of your time with family. Cook for them, make the pa...

The Lies I Tell Myself

You can still be pretty without those new clothes.  You can mix and match your dress with all the scarfs you currently have, they're overloading the "shawl box".  You can always smile bright even if you forgot to put on your balm or lipstick.  You can see his moves eventho you misplaced your spectacles.  You can always be better even if you fail the quiz.  You don't need those new colour blouse.  You are beautiful outside and inside.  You are going to be fine. I mean what can go wrong when you have you yourself as lover? As a hugger? As a masseur? As everything you want la.  Those lies I tell when I needed to console myself. To remind me that I'm broke and needless to say that my crave for retail therapy and fancy food is beyond my stomach size.  Save money la baby. Don't buy new dress. Don't look at new shades of shawl like you need it. Drink more plain water you don't need the cornetto. Eat rice till finish, no maggi-maggi anymore for your ...

First Tri

You couldn’t tell yourself whether you’re happy or scared. Probably both at the same time. The only strength to hold on is prayers to Allah to make this journey at ease and bearable.  With husband not around, it is hard to adapt with the new body as you don’t have anybody to talk to about the queasiness, nausea and ache. But he is always there to support whenever you’re in need although virtually. ❤️  It feels better to voice out the feelings/sickness as if it let the burdens off at the moment tho the only relief is the passing time.  But this is our prayers and hopes that comes in reality to which we should never complain of.  At the moment it is figured out, I am completely speechless. This is the first time I dont have any idea about it. It crosses my mind but I can’t figure it out. This is the miracle Allah wants me to feel inside me. In order to thank him, to be grateful of mothers and to be humble with His gift.  Ya Allah.  L...
