Earth

The sky is crying, just like past few evenings. I'm not sure if this is natural or it suppose to have something to do with Supermoon phenomenal. The place is quieter, havent heard monkeys chatters or the birds chirping today. The animal always knew better when it comes to world climate.

The earth is getting older. Massive disasters occurred at different major cities. People are scared, reaching to the conclusion that the world is coming to the end by 2012. I am scared. But as a muslim, I dont believe in such surreal. Nobody knows when will it (read: Armageddon) be but whenever it is, we cant run from it and the best we could do is to prepare ourself to meet our Creator.

The future is the secret of God. What we can do is to be prepared and live our life for today. Lets pray for the safety of our brothers and sisters at Japan.

Death

“When the son of Adam dies his actions come to an end except three things, a continuing charity or knowledge which gives benefit or a pious child who prays for him”

Sahih Muslim

When you find out about a death of a friend, you wish that the time will freeze and you can have just another minute with him. You just hope that there is at least a clue before he passed away, so that you will prepare yourself towards his death. That is something you will wish for, every time you faced the death of your close friend.

Every time I think of him, I couldnt but to have this little regret for not appreciating him enough. It breaks my heart to think that I would never see him ever again. Allah. Just a day before that, I saw him walking along another friend and I just smiled. I didnt wave my hand or make any other gesture just to let him know that I am here, I appreciate him and I love him as a friend. Been known him for over 10 years, his death struck me.

He is not my best friend but knowing him these past years, he is really a good person. As a friend, I love him and up till now, I still cant believe the news. It just too hard, too painful to swallow.

I pray to God that he will be put among the believers in His ultimate Jannah. May his soul rest in peace. Ameen.

celebration

Today did not appear to be as I expected. In a sense, it turns out much better that I ever imagined. As I am not a fond of surprise party, I requested to have a simple celebration over a dinner. And for that, I thanked 2 best-friends for this day. It could not be better without the both of you.

Another year marks by today. Alhamdulillah. A simple wish from mom brighten the day. Many other wishes by the colleagues are really appreciated. It put a smile to my face for all day long.

Happy Birthday and many happy return. Umi love you so much!
