"It's ok. At least I've learnt something new." :')

This happened last Friday after my Further Pure 2 chapter 1 progress test. The experience taught me one important lesson - just because I've revised and went through the work Sir's given doesn't mean I've mastered the subject, nor does it mean I need no more practice. In fact, I think I've learnt quite the opposite - no matter how much you've learnt, there will always be some bits that may have been overlooked or unnnoticed.

In this case, an unexpected, never seen before type-question popped out in the test. So, most of us was really quite stuck. As I've mentioned, it was a progress test for complex numbers. Before the test, I truthfully thought I was ready. I came in class with full confidence that I'd be able to ace it. Unfortunately, one weird proof question popped out - I had no idea how to do it, how I were to even start it. A couple of students asked Sir but being a girl that thinks asking a teacher for help during a test is cheating, I decided to ignore what Sir's answer was. Plus, I couldn't hear him clearly and I didn't have my glasses on to see what he wrote on the board (I think). So, I decided to just leave my answer to that question blank. Dissapointed with myself? COMPLETELY!

Sir said after we finish our test, we can leave the class if we choose to. And I was technically the last person to finish it - all because of that ONE question I had no idea HOW to work out! But, since I didn't want to be a loner, I handed in my answers and said "Sir, now that I've handed in my test. Can you teach me how to do question B please?" and of course, as always, being the helpful teacher he is, he taught me through the question. It seemed so easy after he went through it. How sad I was. In fact, I was sad even before I asked him to help me.

I think my disappointment was a bit too obvious since Sir said "I shouldn't have put that kind of question in", maybe after guessing I was upset with my 'failure'. Fortunately, I reminded myself to be thankful. Alhamdulillah. So, I replied "It's ok. At least I learnt something new :')" and Sir said "Yes, you have". Saying that really did help the burden off my chest, but I still had tears just waiting to get out and so I went to the loo - let the frustration out straight to my face. And yes, I managed to smile after that! :) Alhamdulillah. :)

Today, I got back my result as a C. It was a short test, I lost 3 marks on that particular 'difficult' question, and did some careless mistakes which costed me 2 marks on the next question and I've somehow lost a mark on a 7 mark question (although I'm sure I should've gotten a full 7 on that one), which gave me an overall mark of 10/16 - 63%. To say the least, I'm not that happy but at the same time I'm not that sad. I mean hey, at least I've learnt something new! :) Plus the fact that Sir complimented me on my 'honesty' for not answering the question instead of just giving what he claims as 'garbage' in order to gamble for marks like how some students did, I'm quite happy to say the least.

So, two lessons learnt:

1. Knowledge can never be achieved in full perfection,

so learn as much to cover the most that we can possibly can.

2. When failure comes, focus on the positives and work for a better future. :)

My restaurant has NO doors, but it DOES have an entrance. :)

It's been quite a while since I've played Restaurant City. No, let me rephrase that - It's been AAAGES since I played Restaurant City on FaceBook. After getting back on it today, truthfully, I wasn't surprised why I left it for such a long time - the restaurant was horrible! I think it was a plan gone wrong or something.

At first, looking at it - I was like "Nahh..I ain't playing this thing again. It looks too awful!".

The trouble with me - I want my restaurant to be like all those other famous five-star restaurants. That's not a weakness - rather, it should be a motivation, right? But hey, I thought it looked so horrible that it own't be worth my time to play on it anymore. But then it hit me!

  "Nabihah, if you intend on making a business, you can't just give up everytime things don't go as how you've planned!" 

And that my friends was the start of my newly-found inspiration to keep on playing the game! haha xD. It's AMAZING how you can relate a game to reality just to make yourself 'work' harder. You see, I've been wanting to start my own business when I get back home in Malaysia - possibly start selling at my university. Selling and studying - that'll be one of my dreams come true. :) That is of course - if Allah wills. ^^ The world of business, as I understand, will not be as easy as this game - there'll be loads more risk and loads more problems on the way. So, that's how I came to that kind of conclusion - to never GIVE UP! ngee~! :D

The picture above is my restaurant after that 'inspiration' I had. Notice that it doesn't come with doors but has a maze for a garden? Well, that's so that I can buy time and reduce the number of 'complaints' I'd get from my beloved customers. :) However, I felt I could buy some more time - which led to this:

I know - the tiles needs to be changed, and I need to find a better way of buying time since this one looks horrible! I'm broke at the moment and so, highly doubt I can add that much to the restaurant with such little money.

Whatever happens to the restaurant, I think I'll just let it happen because NOW is the time for me to get back to reality! 

Assalamualaikum~ ^^

Hati manusia

Hati manusia,
memang senang menduga.
Dunia dipandang pada keseluruhannya,
Akhirat dipandang sebelah mata.

Memang betul dunia ni nikmat daripada yang Maha Esa,
Namun, janganlah kita lupa,
Dunia ini tidak ada apa-apa,
Jikalau dibandingkan dengan akhirat yang kekal selamanya.

Akhirat itu pengakhiran kita untuk selama-lamanya,
sanggupkah kita merana di sana, demi dunia yang sementara?

Yakinlah hati bahawa duniamu dekat kepada pengakhiran,
Bejuanglah kamu menentang syaitan,
dan segala macam godaan.

Yakinlah hati bahawa hidup hanya sekadar satu ujian,
Kita perlu sabar menempuh dugaan, teguhkan iman.
Moga kita peroleh kejayaan di akhirat nanti,
dengan senyuman. :)

Kekasaran bahasa, tolong maafkan. 

Tersalah maklumat, tolong maklumkan.

Sebab saya tau..

Pembaca sekalian, mesti baik. :) kan kan?? :D

Terima kasih, Salam~ ^^

Moral of the poem: do NOT procrastinate. :)

Daydreaming

You never ask for it.
It just comes, knocking on your mind,
Messing with your time.

A minute wasted, seems little at first,
Until that moment where it's turned into an hour or maybe even worse.

Daydreaming, it never is easy to let go,
of those wonderful thoughts they put you through,
to get rid of your sorrows.

Sad it is, to rely on fantasy rather than reality to make you happy.
Which is why it's even sadder when daydreaming becomes an addiction.
Getting out is never easy.

So, before you start daydreaming.
Think of the time you'll waste.

Rather than staying in fantasy,
might as well work harder to get a better reality.

Salam~ ^^

Forgiveness (quote)

This is a quote I thought of myself. :) Hope it'll be useful to others ^^

Forgiveness - so easy to be said, but so hard to be felt. It's normal. When you're hurt - Forgiveness seems to be just impossible! All we want is for that person who's caused the pain to feel what they've made us feel. This simple bitterness leads to anger, depression and so many more negative feelings. These negative feelings then makes us treat others badly, as how we've been treated once. The sad cycle then just continues.

Some people are willing to wait for many years only to feed their vengeance and feeling of dominance. One question though, when we let this happen to us - allowing hatred to fill our hearts and take over our life, does that show how well we can dominate others or how others have dominated us? It's better to forgive than fill our hearts with misery and grudge, wouldn't you agree?

One good video I'd like to share:

I wanna do my degree!! but errr... ¬.¬

Degree, here I come!!

..I wish T.T

Gonna be 18 this year! ^^ InsyaAllah. If I were to do my degree, that would be awesome! One PROBLEM though, I don't know how many courses I can take! I'm thinking of taking 4, but don't know if the uni will let me? :( What Uni I'm talking about? Of course, the one and only - International Islamic University Malaysia :) I've always wanted to go to this uni, but don't know if I can. :( Oh well, there's always Oxford if IIUM doesn't accept me. :D haha xD. Back to my point, why am I so excited for this degree of mine? Well, my future degree I meant. At the moment, I'm studying at Burleigh Community College, doing my AS levels. If and when I go back home in Malaysia, they (IIUM) said

"u can use the A-level (in this we mean the Advanced Level Certificate) to be enrolled in our Undergraduate program proceed for Degree"

Reasons why its cool:
1. Most of my friends are doing matriculation. I'm ahead?! hee~~ :D
2. A 22 year old 'friend' is starting his degree this September, in some other uni (he had to get years of working experience before he could do his degree before this). Me going in uni next year would mean he's only a year ahead of me - 4 years difference in our age, 1 year difference in our studies! muahahahaha xDD
3. I personally never wanted to go to uni. I've always thought of starting my own business instead of furthering studies in uni. Going uni early means leaving uni early which means less money used. :)

Oh well, maybe I'm ambitious, maybe I daydream too much. But, who can ever deny the thrill it gives me to even think about doing this degree?! xP There may have been loads of other people who's done their degree earlier than my age. Who cares - I'm psyched just thinking about uni!! And then I can start my business, and make money and start contributing rather than taking for once in a while. ^^

One thing missing though - the Advanced Level Certificate!! As I've said, currently I'm doing AS level. To get the whole Advanced Level Certificate, I need to do another one year of A2 level. Only then will I have the Advanced Level Certificate, and ONLY then will I be able to 'enroll' myself in the degree thing. Because I cannot wait for a whole year to finish my Advanced Level Certificate, I've told my parents to let me do the A2 exams in January!

The whole school year starts from September until July - exams are done in January and May/ June, meaning I may only do half of the academic school year before the exams. I NEED TO WORK HARD - I KNOW!

Well, actually, for A2 levels, we're starting our 'year' from the next two weeks. By the 14^th of June 2010, we will be doing around 5 weeks of school before we break off for the summer holidays. ^^ Obviously I'm planning on studying during the summer holidays and making the school days as my revision. So, degree is still quite far away at the moment.

A2, HERE I COME!!

Oops..wait..I've still got two exams to focus on at the minute. Mechanics 1 and Decision 1 exams next Wednesday - further maths stuff. T.T. STUDY NABIHAH!! So, I really should change my motto for the time being to

M1, D1, HERE I COME!!

Ok. I think I've wrote enough. Salam ^^

Bila neraka dipandang ringan

*First off - sorry to all that likes to read my entries in English.But, this is a special post. So, hope you don't mind.

*Warning: Entri ini menggunakan bahasa rojak

Aku ni, bukanlah seorang ustazah mahupun seorang cikgu. Tapi, aku ni seorang kawan, seorang saudari Islam, and seorang pelajar. Memandangkan aku ni manusia, so, automatic - aku seorang khalifah di muka bumi, setuju?

Tengok budak2 melayu sekarang. Melayu yang beragama ISLAM. Mcm mne pakaian dorg? Seksi kan? Entah2 kalau boleh, dorg nak je terbogel dkt tgh2 jalan. Ada ke patut? Mana pergi perasaan malu? Bukan malu dengan manusia, tapi - mane pergi perasaan malu kepada Tuhan yang Maha Pencipta? Yang telah memberi rezeki, yang telah memberi nyawa kepada kite? Mana perginya janji kite? Zaman sekarang, senang je, bila org tegur ckp "At least aku bkn hipokrit, mcm bdak2 yg pkai tudung tapi berzina jgak". Tak hipokrit ke, bile kite dah bwat janji dgn Allah utk mentaatiNya sebelum kite dilahirkan. Tapi, bile dh meningkat dewasa, dosa je yg dikejarnye. Tak hipokrit ke tu? Nak cakap bodoh, ada je otak kat dalam kepale. Nak cakap berani, dasar cakap je la - tapi bile ade kat depan neraka nanti, cbe rse - berani lagi ke?

Kawan2ku, saudara2 Islam ku, jom muhasabah diri. Memang kite berani ke nak dicampakkan masuk neraka hanya kerana nak memuaskan nafsu yang memang tiada henti? Lagi kite suapnya, lagi die mintak banyak. Berani ke? Aku bukan cakap aku baik, tapi aku memang cuba nak jadi yg terbaik.

Pada perempuan, memang best kan bile banyak laki pandang? Memang best kan bile dapat rasa 'dihargai'? Memang best kan bile sme yg kte jmpe cakap kte lawa, cantik, hot and sme jenis pujian yg dorg kac. Bestkan? I must admit, memang best. Tapi, jom tanya diri dulu. Sape yg sebenanye bg kte wajah yg kte ade skarang? Siapa yang sebenanye berhak atas pujian2 tu? Allah? Pandai pun. Dah kite taw Allah, die yg bg kite rupa paras yang lawa lagi manis, kenape kte sanggup melanggar perintahNya? Sedangkan Dia yang Maha Mengetahui atas segala sesuatu, kenapa kite dedahkan jugak aurat kite kpd kaum ajnabi selepas kte taw hukum hakam yg Allah dah tetapkan? Dia suruh kite menutup aurat demi keselamatan dan kesejahteraan diri kite sendiri. Kenape kite nak jugak menggadaikan maruah kite? Demi nak memuaskan nafsu lelaki yang memang hanya mencari mangsa?

Jom kite tgk status perempuan dkt barat. Dorg kata perempuan2 barat ni free and perempuan2 Islam ni oppressed. Hello! Perempuan dekat sini (barat) hanya dijadikan sex slaves, and you call that freedom? Tolonglah, tak payah nak pandang tinggi sangat org2 barat nih.yang dorg reti - perbesarkan benda kecik je. Tak caye, cuba pergi Spain, Arab, Istanbul. Semua negara2 Islam. Waktu tamadun Islam dulu MasyaAllah. mmg gemilang. Lagi power drpd dunia barat sekarang ni. Nak satu contoh?

Al-Hambra, Spain

Sebelum ni sebuah masjid tapi skarang dijadikan musium. Yang paling bgus psl tmpat ni - ade statue singa yang setiap kali azan, akan keluar air dr mulutnye, utk umat Islam mengabil wudhuk. Cuba bayangkan - SETIAP KALI AZAN. MasyaAllah. Teknologi beribu2 tahun dulu, negara barat mana yg boleh menandingi? And because dalam bab ni musuh2 Islam mmg tak boleh lawan, dengar cerite dorg dh buang dh statue tu. T.T. But still, ukiran2 marble (marble, bukan kayu!) La Ila HaillalAllah dan ayat2 Al-Quran tak dibuang, Alhamdulillah. Kalo dorg buang jgak, mmg aku sendiri pergi spain and cari 'pembuang' nye.

Ok, so, entri ni mostly utk perempuan and for myself as well - as a reminder. Sebagai pelepas tanggungjawab ku :) Kalau nak ikut nasihat, Alhamdullillah. Jom same2 kite doakan Jannatul Firdaus ke atas diri, keluarga, dan kaum muslimin dan jom kite perjuangkan agama Allah di dalam keredhaanNya. Kalau korg rse entri ni menyemak je and memang tak patut ditulis, aku doakan korg dapat hidayah. (Jgn korg yg pegi melepaskan sudah). Ingat, papepun, akhirnye di antare syurga dan neraka.

Salam

What you need to 'Never Give Up!'

You watch an anime and the hero's motto will always be "never give up", and then we, if not the kids, will always get motivated as to make that motto part of our lives. But, as always, it's easier said than done. Ever wondered what it takes to stick with this motto?

Determination

You can never go anywhere without the intention to succeed. For example, you're hungry and your mum/ wife hasn't cooked anything for you yet. What would you do? Cook something for yourself or just sit there in front of the computer, hoping time will feed your hunger? If you just cannot be bothered to do something, nothing will happen! So, to never give up, make sure you are determined with your goal and do NOT lose sight of it!

Motivation

Similar to determination, motivation is essential in making you work no matter what! Without it, your goal will be impossible to meet. The difference between determination and motivation; determination is where you push yourself to success, whilst motivation is where you are pushed by someone or something else towards success. Completely different in meaning, but both are equally necessary for people with the motto 'never give up!'. Without them, you are doomed!

Patience

Now, you must be thinking I'm joking. Believe me - I am NOT! You will not last a single day without patience. Why you wonder? Why not if I may ask you? If you expect things to go your way, when and how you want it, you are completely fooling yourself! As I've just learned from my past histories, the world does not revolve around us. It's we who revolve around the world. So, we need to make our stay as sweet and pleasant as we can, no matter how impossible that may seem.

Failures are inevitable, but that doesn't mean we will have to be stuck with it for the rest of our lives. Sometimes, they're there to teach us and because of this, we need to be patient. When something unexpected happens, take your time, understand why certain things happen and think of a way how to avoid the problem in the future and how you could go about in order to solve it. If you don't have the patience, you're bound to give up every time something bad comes along.

Belief in success

One of the most important ingredient, but hardly ever found. When you want to succeed, you need to believe you're capable of success. If you only think of yourself as a loser, what is there that's going to push you all the way to success? Forget determination, forget all the points I've mentioned before. If you don't have the belief in yourself, the belief that you can succeed, trust me - you will always give up in the end.

Mengapa Melayu dengki?

Dengki.

Entah kenapa hati kebanyakan orang kite penuh dengan penyakit ni. Setiap kali nampak budak melayu baik sikit dari kita, kita nak sahaja menurunkan dia. Kalau bangsa lain, takdak pulak sikap ni. Kita ni, takut sesama kaum sendiri ke? Kalau begitu, memang sah takkan maju la orang melayu. Kenapa? Sebab, setiap kali ada persaingan, kita akan main taktik kotor dengan melemahkan semangat saingan kita untuk melakukan yang terbaik. Akhirnya, tiada saingan bagi kita dan tiada motivasi untuk memperbaiki kekurangan kita dan maju ke hadapan. (Patutlah Malaysia tak semaju negara Jepun dan Cina). Kalau kita contohi bangsa lain, kita boleh nampak semangat persaudaraan mereka dan betapa mereka sedia untuk saling bantu-membantu. Pada diorang, "Turun sama2, Naik pun sama2". Perbezaan yang amat ketara dengan kita yang "aku naik, engkau turun".

Nak satu contoh? Ada seorang budak perempuan ni. Setiap kali dia cakap bahasa Inggeris, loghat bagaikan dia anak British. Maklumlah, pengaruh pembelajarannya di England semasa umurnya 8 tahun tidak dapat dihilangkan. Dan, disebabkan 'slang' dia, dia menjadi bahan umpatan 'kawan2'nya yang lain. Yang tidak terkejutnya, kawan2 dari bangsa2 lain semua merujuk kepada dia pabila mereka perlukan bantuan di dalam kerja rumah mereka.

Nampak perbezaan? Bila kita orang melayu nampak kelebihan kawan, kita lebih rela menjatuhkan dia daripada mengambil manfaat dari kelebihan kawan tersebut. Akhirnya, siapa yang rugi? Melayu jugak! Bila kawan ada ilmu, taknak belajar dari kawan. Lebih rela membazirkan duit dekat institut2 pelajaran yang menguntungkan yang lain daripada melayu. Kawan offer pelajaran percuma, tak mau. Tak ke sedih?

Sedangkan Islam dah mengajar umatnya untuk saling bantu-membantu dan eratkan silratulrahim. Kenapa kita masih degil dengan kedengkian dan 'kebodohan' kita? Setiap kali ada kawan nak mencuba rezeki, ada sahaja kata2 lemah semangat yang tak henti2 keluar dari mulut kita, sampai akhirnya, orang tu pun hilang motivasi untuk berjaya. Kalau kaum lain yang buat, kita tak kisah pulak. Bahkan, lagi menggalakkan ada lah. Betullah melayu, bila boleh kita maju kalau masing2 tak puas hati dengan kejayaan kawan?

When studies gets out of control

Ever had one of those days when you think your head's about to explode, only because you missed a class? Well, if you miss a lesson again, be sure to read this simple article to help you through your 'struggle'.

Take some time alone

It always is a good idea to get in your room and get yourself away from household problems when you are already stressed with school. Otherwise, you may find the situation getting over the top for you. Ask your parents to be excused to your room, and if they ask why, tell them you're having problems at school and wish to solve the problem out, preferably by yourself. When you achieve some time alone, admit to yourself that you've made a mistake and think of a way through.

Be Optimistic

Pessimists never succeed because they always have a kind of barrier between themselves and success itself, which is their own thought. They keep on thinking they'll never succeed. In other words, they always expect for the worst in everything they do, to them success is just not meant for them. Do yourself a favor and don't allow yourself to be one of those people. Think positive and think forward. When you do this, you can tell yourself to work hard until you get the job done, instead of just giving up every time you think you won't make it. Plus, it adds more effort to your work, something you ought to be proud of.

This post is originally from my site. To save some tiny weeny bit of space in this blog, I've saved the best bit of this entry on the site. Please click here to read more of this article.

Coupling - worth the drama?

Hey hey, how's it going? Now, the title - straightforward enough for you? Well, I'm pretty sure the title speaks for itself, and before you tell me "Oh, Nabihah, stop being so shallow. We're in the 21st century, be open minded!" Errkk..News flash! I am being open minded - which is why I say NO to coupling!

What? You think being in the 21st century makes us better than the people that comes before us? Don't make me laugh! People nowadays are like animals hunting for prey - this goes primarily to the people who would do anything just to fulfill their burning lusts.

Why do I say NO to coupling?


We, especially youngsters like to try and experience new things - who wouldn't? With all the peer pressure, always wanting to be like that person whom everyone 'loves', coupling seems to be the only way for us to say "Yeah, I'm cool!" One question - are you sure? Or are you just being a fool? What is the point of 'loving' someone when you can't even love yourself? I have a friend who just cannot 'live' without having a boyfriend, pretty sad but hey, that's reality. Why I asked her, and she said she doesn't want to be lonely. Earth to you - you are not going to be alone! No matter who you are, of course you will have some friends in your life, and not forgetting your family! Sure, it's nice to feel 'loved' by a significant other. But, how can we be sure of this 'love' they offer? For all you know, they may say they'll love you for the rest of their lives when the truth is, they just want to get in bed with you and just leave you sober. Now, where's the fun in that? Imagine - you give yourself in for a guy who you think is 'the one' and find yourself pregnant three months later, and about to have a baby with no father six months after? How is that going to make you look cool? If you ask me - that'll just make you look like a slut!



When I was in Malaysia, my friend argued, if you never coupled with anyone, how can you have the experience? My question : Why would you need experience for something that will only make it worse for you? Yes, we learn from our mistakes, but unfortunately, we cannot erase our mistakes. Look at the world now, when girls are ashamed of having an illegitimate child, what do they do to the baby? They just throw away the baby as if the baby has no life or value. Now, what is the point of coupling if it's only going to lead to immorality and inhumanity? If there were no coupling, and marriage was a must before you can take your 'partner' out, there would not be a single problem of child mistreatment.

Another problem with coupling -because it has been so easy for people to 'try' others, more and more people are becoming homosexuals. Why? Why not? They've already 'tasted' the opposite gender, why not 'try' stuff on people of the same gender. And what's even worse, now that sex is so easy to get, some people do have the insane mind as to sodomise little kids. If you don't believe me, read the newspapers - there are more and more paedophiles in this world.

My bet is you'll probs say "Maaan, chill out..We only live life once..Let's just enjoy it while it last" Wrong! Don't ever forget this key important fact - there is another life after this life, which will be determined by how we live our life here on the face of the Earth. Yes we can enjoy life, but everything has a limit. If there were no rules in this life, people would just take things for granted, and this World would have been destroyed like thousands of years ago.

Well, to end this entry. I know I'm just a normal, ordinary girl like all the girls in this world - filled with imperfections and you might say I have no right to tell you what to do, and you're probably right to. This post was only an advise for the people who's desperate for reminders. If you still choose to go along with coupling, please don't let it end like this :

*Please pardon the manner in which I have written this post.

Salam ^-^

*Addition: Harapan seekor seperma a post i find really interesting and funny, and a lesson for us all.

Muslims, it's time we rise up - peacefully

Lately, I've seen a lot of Facebook groups saying they hate Israel for their mistreatment towards Gaza. And personally, I just wonder, does this really help our fellow brothers and sisters in Palestine? By all these kinds of groups, growing hatred in our hearts, are we really helping those innocent people in Palestine? The answer is NO! In fact, we're just giving Islam a bad image. I mean, think about it - if we kept on making groups like "I hate Israel", what would that say about Islam? It will only give the image of a religion that is filled with hatred, which is the absolute opposite of what Islam really is about. You want to help Palestine? Help yourself first. Have you prayed 5 times a day? Do you do any charity? Do you watch your mouth while you're talking? Do you control your patience every single time something bad happens or when you get mistreated?

Before we do anything irrational, we need to think how others will see us. As long as you're a Muslim, people will see what you do as what your religion tells you to. Why? Because, we're the most people that actually sticks with their religion., and say no to atheism (the belief there is no God). So, let's show them what Islam is all about - Peace and the belief in one God.

I mean, let's be rational and look at how Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would be. He's been thrown rocks by the musyhrikin, but never has he thrown a single rock back and no not a single rude, disrespectful word he let out. Instead, he remained patient and prayed Allah (SWT) to forgive them, and be given Nur Hidayah. Who are we to go against him, if we call ourselves his Ummah? Come on my fellow brothers and sisters, let's rise up and fight for Islam - peacefully ^-^

And now, I must leave you with an inspiring song for us Muslims :)

The old man and his joyful 25 year old son

An old man was sitting with his 25 year old son in a train. As the train was leaving the station, the young man was filled with joy and curiosity. As he was sitting by the window, he waved his hand outside in the open air. He shouted, "Papa see all trees are going behind". The old man smiled and admired his son's feelings.
Beside the young man was a couple that were sitting and listening to the whole conversation between the father and the son. They felt a little awkward with the attitude of the young, good-looking man who was behaving like a small child. The handsome man then shouted, "Papa see the pond and animals. The clouds are moving with the train".

The couple can see the young man was now embarrassed. It started raining and some of the water drops touched the man's hand. He was filled with joy and he closed his eyes. He shouted again," Papa it's raining, I can see the water droplets on my palm, see papa". The couple couldn't help themselves and asked the old man. “Why don't you visit the Doctor and get a treatment for your son?” The old man said," We are from the hospital. Please excuse my son, he had just got his eyes for the first time in his life. He's been blind since he was born".

Moral: "Do not draw any conclusions before you know all the facts and reasons"

Women and Mimosa Pudica (pokok Semalu)

There was once been said that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was walking with his daughter, Fatimah. While passing by a dates palm, Fatimah accidentally stepped on a Mimosa Pudica and her feet bled. She asked her father (PBUH), what is the use of the plant growing there? The Prophet (PBUH) explained that the phsical characteristics of the plant was closely related with women. 4 aspects that can be taken as a lesson from the plant's features.

1. The way in which the plant closes every time it is touched. This can be linked that women needs to have a sense of shyness at certain places or situations.

2. Mimosa Pudica has sharp thorns to defend itself, symbolising that women needs to know how to defend herself and her dignity.

3. The roots of the plant are strong and it holds on to the ground tightly. This shows that a religious woman needs to be faithful, as if the heart is rooted with this strong faith.

4. A Mimosa Pudica folds itself as the sun sets, as if this beautiful creation of Allah (SWT) is reminding the women to go back home as night comes. According to the history of aihaqi, there are 99 parts of attraction in a woman, compared to a man, and because of it, Allah (SWT) bestows the sense of shyness to women.

Mimosa pudica
