Always remember ALLAH.
wherever you are.
whoever you are.
whataver situation you are facing.
.
hopefully one day.
the last day of our life..
in our last breath..
we will remember HIM as our creator.
the one and the only one.
On the judgement day.
the day when we will be revived again from death.
Each of us will be reunited with the one he/she loved most during his/her life.
If our true love is the Prophet Muhammad S.A.W (p.b.u.h) ,
Insya-Allah , we will brought back to live with him.
Everyday my papa would work
To try to make ends meet
To see that we would eat
Keep those shoes upon my feet
.
Every night my papa would take me
Tuck me in my bed
Kiss me on my head
After all my prayers were said
.
And there were years
Of sadness and of tears
Through it all
Together we were strong
We were strong
.
The times were rough
But Papa he was tough
And, Mama, she stood beside him all along
Growing up with them was easy
.
Time just flew on by
The years began to fly
They aged, but so did I
.
I could tell
Mama wasn’t well
And Papa knew and deep down so did she
So did she
.
And when she died
Papa broke down and cried
And all he could say was: “God, why her? Take me!”
Everyday he sat there sleeping in a rocking chair
.
He never went upstairs
Because she wasn’t there
Then one day my Papa said,
“Son, I’m proud of how you’ve grown”
He said: “Go make it on your own.
And don’t worry! I’m O.K. alone.”
He said: “There are things you must do; places you must see!”
His eyes were sad as he…
As he said goodbye to me
.
Every time, I kiss my children,
Papa’s words ring true
He said: “Your children. They live through you.
.
And they’ll grow. They’ll leave you, too”
I remember every word my Papa used to say
I kiss my kids and I pray
That they’ll think, think of me, that way
Someday…
Sometimes or most of the time, we tend to over-plan things.
In the end we stuck with just planning without any actions.
We forgot that thing wouldn’t be any better with just plan in our paper or head but without any
implementation.
We might as well , plan ahead a little bit.
The just get to do it and maintain the momentum.
We may hit the wall at first few attempts.. so what?
re-route then keep moving forward.
once in a while we may have to look backward and learn from our mistakes,
but the main thing is we have to MOVE forward.
It is our TIME.
It is our MONEY.
It is our resposibility.
It is our life.
In this particular aspect, I think we should be SELFISH enough to get rid
what might be better for any others.
it is our own life.. or afterlife and we solely should decide where/what/how those should be put on.
None others.
After all, I think it’s NOT worth not doing something or with-holding something because you don’t want to upset someone else over something
or because someone said something about it
.
because eventually it may not be THAT significant for him or her.
It’s yours .. and truly yours.
You’re born alone.. and will be ended up in the grave also alone.
p/s: always remember , only massive actions will lead to massive result..
I said because I love to jot down my thought share something useful for my future self.
Because in my line of work, I would regularly do a google search of whatever problem that I am facing.
Most of the time, my problem wouldn’t be unique, there are high possibility that there is someone else also
facing the same problem before me.
Because that person posted his solutions or workaround somewhere on the net, I can easily resolve the issue at hand.
So, part of my discovery also I would write it down somewhere, but the problem is, I may not have access to it anymore when I needed it most. Such as .. if written in one of my daily notebook, few years down the road,
I can’t even figure out which notebook stored that particular information.
Therefore this blog serve to fill that gap.
I would write as being explaining the problem and solutions to someone like me, who is looking for the solutions or work around.
For example, while traveling overseas, one of the issues I regularly facing is “how to get to hook up to internet with cheapest possible plan”. While in Jakarta, I would bring extra android phone, one for local SIM, and the other for my regular/personal numbers.. the local prepaid SIM will be subscribed to internet and set to enable “tethering” .
So that the other phone could also access the internet via same SIM card.. :P
And this might differ of locations, such while in Pheonix,USA would be cheaper to get online via Hotel WIFI and share that between few colleague by letting just one become the “internet gateway” .
True enough, after few years I posted something based on my trip, someone else did the search and found my blog post.
Hope that would help him/her to get around while at “Tanah Suci”.
p/s : Thanks to Nieyna for the recent photo of Kaabah..
What we focus on will expand.
The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus.” _Bruce Lee.
True enough, if we keep our sight on our goal with positive energy, thing will eventually fill in with joys and excitement.
Those are pretty much different case if we choose the opposite.
Yes, the journey of life got so many choice .. and therefore we can choose to SMILE and be with the POSITIVE
people. And it is also our choice to decide whether or not we surround ourselves with POSITIVE people only.
One of my friend told me..
“Our life is way too short, to be wasted on negative people.
If any , they will not appreciate it anyway.”
They might labelled you as BOLD or whatsoever.. but that’s the reality.
p/s : be BOLD and FIRM regardless what others might say .. life is all about choice that we made after all.

Get over the idea that only children should spend their time in study.
Be a student so long as you still have something to learn, and this will mean all your life.
– Henry L. Doherty
One of the thing mention by Graham Allcott one thing that his university gave him,
was a deep sense of curiosity , a thirst for knowledge and understanding about how the world works,
and excitement at finding out what makes people tick,
what principles or politics are worth fighting for,
how the world and society should develop.
And finally get to how exciting to get to ask BIG questions,
and knowing full well that unlikely to get a SIMPLE answer.
In the world we are living today, there are so many gadget or technology enabler,
we have smartphones, tablet, instant internet access almost everywhere we go
( unless we opt to get into the rural part — you won’t be able read this then. :P )
on-demand TV or documentaries (if we choose to) , studying should be easier than ever.
Yet all this become background noise that can make us unfocused and transform ourselves to an inefficient learner.
Most of us have similar resource too, but why most of us got distracted instead.
One little word : MINDSet !
Knowledge is power – it’s a cliche because it’s true.
The mindset can be shifted with the knowledge .
Yes, there’s a destination or goal to reach, but why not make the journey richer, more fulfilling and more interesting too ?
Out of so many flavor in the worlds, why we even bother to be the salty ones.
( those who understand will understand .. :P)
