"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. :)

Salam~ :)

Engkau NAK lelaki soleh?

"Siapa yang dapat jawab, kita hadiahkan doa" kata abang fasilitator tu.

Lantas, tanganku pun terangkat tinggi-tinggi. Dari tadi ada hasrat ingin menjawab, malu je - itu masalahnya.

"Ha, itu nak doa la tu. Bagus3. Datang sini, jawab dekat depan" Sambung abang fasilitator. "Nama apa?" dia tanya.

"Nabihah" senang aku menjawab.

*Ha? Itu je soalannye? hehe. takde5. itu dia bertanya nama je, takde hadiah untuk nama. :)*

"Ok, soalannya, kenapa kita lebih malu dengan manusia daripada malu dengan Allah?" abang tu tanya.

"err.." fikiranku kosong. Jawapan yang entah pape mengisi otakku. "entah. sebab dorg malu dengan manusia kot" Jawabku ringkas. Terdetik di hati "aik. bukan tu soalan ke?" Muka dah makin merah, berdiri di hadapan 200 lebih pelajar, cikgu pun ada. Buat malu je. T.T Takpe3. nak buat macam mana? Bila orang tanya soalan, tak habis fikir jawapan, terus rajin mengangkat tangan. 

Abang fasilitator tu pun, macam faham budak seorang ni dah malu, tanya lah soalan lain - soalan yang seakan-akan solan yang pertama, cume subjek malu ditukar jadi berus gigi. "Kenapa manusia berus gigi bila berjumpa dengan kawan2 dan manusia lain, tetapi tidak memberus gigi apabila solat?"

"hurrmm..sebab diorang malu mulut berbau kut. dah jumpa face to face dengan manusia. Waktu solat, diorang tak nampak Allah. So, mungkin diorang lupa kot yang Allah nampak diorang" jawapku, mengharap persetujuan dari abang fasilitator tu. 

"ok la jawapan tu." jawap si abang F tu. "Ok. untuk hadiah adik, jom kita semua tadah tangan, bacakan doa untuk adik Nabihah ni" Semua murid tadah tangan, pandang aku. Segan yang dirasakan tak terkata tingginya.
Aku pun tadah la tangan, mengharapkan doa yang akan abang F tu baca doa yang baik2 dan akan dimakbulkan.

"Ya Allah ya Tuhan kami, kurniakanlah kepada adik Nabihah Md Zaid ini taufiq dan hidayahMu, tunjukilah dia jalan yang benar. Perbaikkanlah akhlak dan ibadahnya. Jadikanlah dia seorang anak yang patuh kepada kedua ibu bapanya, Kurniakanlah kepadanya lelaki yang soleh sebagai suaminya dan jadikanlah dia seorang isteri yang solehah. Kurniakanlah kepadanya zuriat yang baik dan matikanlah dia dalam keadaan khusnul khotimah. Berkatilah, rahmatilah dan redhailah dia. Ameen" baca abang F. Kami pun turut mengaminkan doa tersebut. Hatiku waktu tu, bukan main gembira lagi, dapat doa sebegitu baik dan diaminkan oleh lebih dari 200 orang. Alhamdulillah. Moga Allah makbulkan. :)

Habis sesi ceramah tu, aku menunggu dengan kawan2 di perhentian bas yang terletak di seberang sekolah, menanti kedatangan ibu bapaku. Sedang kami gelak ketawa, bergurau senda, salah seorang dari kawanku, S, berkata "Nabihah. Engkau tahu tak tadi ramai orang aminkan doa tadi. Lagi tinggi peluang dimakbulkan."

Pelik dengan nada S berkata, aku pun menjwab "Yeah? So? Bagus la tuh? :D"

"Engkau nak ke kahwin dengan lelaki soleh?" tanya S.

"Of course la, siapa yang tak mahu?" jawapku ringkas.

"Seriously? Nanti dia kongkong engkau kang? Suruh pakai tudung la, ini la, itu la" S bekata lagi.

"Aku OK je. Kalau dia lelaki soleh, of course la dia seorang yang baik. Kalau aku buat salah, dia perbetulkan. Kalau aku tak pakai tudung, dia ingatkan aku untuk pakai. Kan bagus? Ada orang yang akan mengingatkan aku bila aku lupa. Boleh selamatkan aku dari api neraka, InsyaAllah." jawapanku, panjang lebar.

"Hmm. Engkau iman tinggi, aku bukan macam engkau la. Rimas aku kalau ada orang kongkong aku" jawap S.

"Ha? Macam mana engkau boleh ukur aku punya iman pulak ni? Kalau dia kongkong, itu untuk kebaikan engkau jugak. Tapi, kalau dia memang betul seorang lelaki yang soleh, mana boleh dia kongkong engkau, dakwah perlu berhikmah. Kan?" jawap aku, mengharapkan dia boleh nampak kebaikan dalam 'lelaki soleh'. 

"Hmm. maybe." jawap S ringkas. Mungkin malas nak berdebat, mungkin dia dah nampak point aku. Yang pasti, aku harap doa tadi dimakbulkan Allah S.W.T. :)

Episod ni berlaku waktu diri ini sedang di bangku sekolah menengah. Mungkin waktu tu, umur baru, 13, 14 atau 15. Yang pasti, waktu sedang belajar di SMK St.Mary dan sebelum aku datang ke sini (England). Jadi, memandangkan sudah teramatlah lama episod ni terbuku di dalam hati, tak semua details boleh aku ingat, tak semua details dalam cerita ini boleh dijamin benar, doa tu pun aku tak ingat sepenuhnya. Yang memang aku highlight dalam doa tu, tentang lelaki soleh sampai sekarang aku ingat adalah kerana soalan yang ditujukan S. 

Sampai sekarang aku tertanya tanya, jikalau lelaki soleh bukan menjadi pilihan para gadis, lelaki jenis apa yang remaja2 sekarang cari? Yang akan 'bersuka ria' sebelum kahwin dan meninggalkan mereka pabila sudah berkahwin? Itupun, KALAULAH sampai ke alam perkahwinan hubungan mereka. Jikalau tidak, siapakah lelaki yang mereka ingin dijadikan suami?  Tidak terkejutlah bila makin lama makin banyak kes zina. Tidak terkejutlah di zaman sekarang, kanak2 di bangku sekolah rendah pun dah mula menjinak-jinakkan diri dengan cinta monyet mereka, bercouple sini dan sana. Siap bertukar-tukar boyfriend lagi. Iman sudah hilang nilaikah? Nauzubillah. Astargfirullah hal azhim. Aku berlindung kepada Allah daripada trend zaman sekarang yang rosak lagi merosakkan.

Akhirnya, saya memohon maaf kepada mana-mana pihak yang tersinggung. Entri ini ditulis sebagai peringatan kepada diri untuk memperbaiki iman dan sabar dalam menempuhi dugaan.

Sekian, terima kasih.

Salam~ ^^

This iPhone is for .....

Correct. This iPhone is for the one and only 'BIG cucu' that I have, ojeesan or better known as Munsyi OR better known as, again, bakal jurutera. From the last name, I presume he dreams of being an engineer. He does automotive engineering anyway - so, I'm pretty sure I'm right to say he wants to be an engineer. :D

Since it's your birthday, bakal jurutera, let me just say - thank you for all your help, ojeesan! What's that got anything to do with your birthday? Well, that's an example of how long you've helped me - it's been like what? 23 years now?! LOL. nahh..I've not lived that long. It's been for about a couple of months now? I ain't fooling - thanks atok (the name you refused to be called)!

Before I forget, if you're getting married before June next year, please do prepare a sum of money for my flight to your wedding! haha xD <-- No, seriously - I'm dead serious.! :)

Just a short poem for you:

Selamat hari jadi wahai bakal jurutera,

Syukur, umurmu panjang dengan izin-Nya.

Jangan lupa jemput obachan di luar negara,

Pabila kamu berkahwin dengan si dia.

Demi kebahagiaanmu wahai bakal jurutera,

Doaku, moga kamu berjaya di dunia dan akhirat hendaknya. 

And here I end this entry, Assalamualaikum~ ^^

Aku pernah ditanya

Aku pernah ditanya,
apakah itu makna cinta?
Sungguh ku rasa,
soalan itu tidak patut ditanya,
kepada diri ini yang masih belajar tentang dunia.

Hatiku mengatakan,
Cinta itu perasaan kasih yang mendalam lagi melembutkan.

Akalku mengatakan,
Cinta itu kasih sayang yang tiada batasan.

Apabila ku mengambil masa,
memikirkan jawapanku sedalam-dalamnya,
Ternyatalah diri ini telah dipengaruhi oleh pelbagai faktor dunia,
di dalam definisi cinta.

Jawapan terbaikku tentang cinta,
Ia amat berharga, amat mulia untuk diberi makna sewenang-wenangnya.
Tidak boleh dihakimi dengan kata-kata.
Tidak boleh disamakan dengan perasaan suka.

Cinta kepada yang Maha Esa,
Adalah cinta yang paling mulia,
Dan patut menjadi prioriti kita sebagai hambaNya.

Cinta kepada keluarga, saudara mara dan semua yang kita jumpa,
Adalah harus untuk kesejahteraan di dunia.

Cinta di antara suami isteri,
bahagia lagi membahagiakan,
menambahkan pahala dan keredhaanNya.

Tetapi, apabila pasangan yang tidak sah mengatakan diri sedang dilamun cinta,
Akan selamatkah mereka dari dosa dan murkaNya?
Akan terpeliharakah diri mereka dari seksaan kubur dan neraka?

Jadi, berwaspadalah apabila bercinta,
Jadikan Pencipta dan pesuruhNya sebagai prioriti kita,
Ibu bapa, keluarga dan saudara seagama seterusnya,
Dan janganlah kita mudah terpedaya dengan kata-kata manusia yang mengatakan diri dilamun cinta.

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~ ^^

Mat British hensem!

8 Julai 2010, hari bersejarah yang terbukti amat payah untuk dilupakan. Mana tidaknya, itulah hari aku ditemukan dengan seorang lelaki yang tampan lagi 'tough'. :P Kriteria 2T yang kebanyakan perempuan cari. haha xP Kepada yang dah mula berfikir yang bukan-bukan tentang diri ini, anda dinasihatkan membaca entri ini sampai habis demi memahami tujuan sebenar entri ini ditulis.

credits to aisyah n mai for tagging me in fb :)

8 Julai 2010. Hari 'enterprise day' dekat sekolah untuk pelajar Year 9. Aku, salah seorang dari 30-40 murid pelajar Year 12 yang terlebih rajin, menjadi sukarelawan untuk membantu menjalankan aktiviti-aktiviti hari itu. Ada tiga kategori:

Media team - merekod hari tersebut. (tangkap gambar, rekod video etc. ) Tak penting sebab aku tak pilih yang ni.

Business hosts - Untuk hari ni, kitorg ada 'business volunteers' yang membantu. Dah nama 'enterprise day', ada la kan orang - orang business. Kerja para business hosts adalah untuk membantu para business volunteers ni dan tunjukkan jalan - kira macam 'tour guide' la, dah sekolah kami penuh dengan block2 nye.

Classroom motivators - membantu guru di dalam kelas untuk menjaga dan membantu para pelajar.

Aku pilih 2 roles - business host dan classroom motivator. Yang sedihnya, business host aku tak dapat hadir hari tu. Sebab apa, aku pun tak pasti. Hasrat untuk bertanya pasal dunia business pun pudar. huhu..T.T Tapi, yang bagusnya, sebab business volunteer aku tak datang, business volunteer kelas aku digantikan dengan dua business volunteer lain - Nat dan Mickey.

Pada mulanya, semasa mereka menjejakkan kaki ke dalam kelas 'aku'. Tiada apa2 yang istimewa pun. Pandang aku pun macam biasa2 je - tiada perasaan benci, tiada perasaan suka. Entah kenapa, kira selepas 10 minit aku kat dalam kelas tu, si Mickey mula berperangai 'pelik'.

Ceritanya macam ni, bila pelajar dah memulakan aktiviti, eksperimen diorg, aku pun cubalah nak tolong - berdiri dekat sebelah seorang pelajar, baca instruction 2 minit tak masuk2 dalam kepala macam mana nak buat eksperimen yang diorg patut buat. Lepas tu, si Mickey lalu dekat sebelah - pandang aku. So, aku pun apa lagi, takkan nak buat bodoh kan? Dengan selambanya aku cakap "Sir" sambil mengangguk kepala, senyum. Dia pun balaslah senyuman tu dan lalu ke bahagian depan kelas. Tengah khusyuk aku baca instruction yang tertulis kat dalam agenda hari tu, rasa hati tak sedap macam ada orang pandang. Jadi, aku pun cari la orang yang membuat hati aku rasa tak sedap tu. Tengok2 si Mickey tu - pandang je. Dah aku pandang dia, dia pun dengan selambanya datang ke kitorg la kan - berdiri betul2 dekat sebelah aku. Itu baru badan dia, kepala dia - kira2 jarak lebih kurang 2 inci kut, baca benda yang aku baca tu kononnye.

Dalam hati - "mamat ni nak buat apa ni. bukannya booklet aku je yang ade kat dalam kelas ni. meja dekat tu pun ade banyak, siap tersusun lagi tu.! Ishh! Dah la mata biru, rambut spikey, badan tegap - takyah la nak mencairkan aku mamat oi!" huhu. T.T "Sabar Nabihah, sabar..dugaan dunia, Nabihah..sabar"

Lepas tu, dia pun tanya la soalan pasal eksperimen tu. Aku, untuk mengelakkan soalan berlanjutan cakap je "I've never done this kind of experiment before", alihkan pandangan. Baru dia pergi cheq..SELAMAT! :) Tapi, itu bukan akhirnya sebab, dia datang balik waktu aku tengah nak cakap dengan group aku tolong tu - dia berdiri betul2 kat belakang aku. Tak cakap apa2, cuma berdiri. Aku yang berpeluh, tertanya2 kenapa perangai dia lain daripada orang lain - kalau nak cakap aku seksi, aku pakai tudung, baju T-Shirt lengan panjang, seluar track Umbro yang setahu aku dah cukup longgar dah pakaian aku - seksi ke? Tidak sama sekali cheq!

Kalau aku nak sambung semua yang berlaku pada hari bersejarah ni, terlampau banyak la pulak. Maklumlah, dah hari bersejarah yang tak boleh dilupakan, semua jenis detail boleh ingat ;P. So, cukuplah kot kalau aku highlightkan niat aku yang sebenar dalam menulis entri ni.

1. Mickey tu handsome, badan pun 'tough' - kalau minah saleh sini, mesti dah lama kejar dia. Untuk highlightkan betapa hensemnye dia, boleh la dikatakan dia lagi hensem dari gamba kat atas tu. hehe. (sorry mai, sorry aisyah) :)

2. Kalau lelaki hensem cuba datang dekat, jangan hanya kerana rupa dia, kita berikan dia ruang untuk nak bermiang2 ngan kita. Hensem ke, tak hensem ke - kita sebagai perempuan kena jaga maruah diri dan agama.!

3. Mungkin perangai dia pelik sebab dia dah biasa. But hey, takdek salahnya kalau kita berperah santan sikit untuk mencari pengajaran dalam episod hidup, an? hehe ^^

A reminder to myself:

Nabihah, ingatlah:

Sehensem mana pun seorang lelaki itu,

Tidaklah sehensem Nabi Yusuf A.S.

Sebaik mana pun dirinya,

Tidaklah sebaik Nabi Muhammad SAW.

Semanis mana pun kata2nya,

Tidaklah semanis ayat2 Al-Quran yang membawa diri kpd kesejahteraan.

Jadi, bila jumpa lelaki hensem,

Peliharalah pandangan,

Teguhkan hati dan iman,

Agar dapat menggapai kejayaan.

Note: nama sebenar dua business volunteers tu telah diubah atas sebab2 tertentu..

Does God exist?

Who created those rocks, those hills, those mountains?

Assalamualaikum~ ^^

Today has been quite a day for me. What was supposed to be my first summer study day turned into a day where studies seemed to be the least of my worries (surprisingly). Today, I did more packing up than studying - maybe because my mum thinks we're gonna go soon. Oh well, might as well pack up now rather than later. Plus, I learnt a simple tip from my mum's friend on how to lose weight - something really useful for me - UNSURPRISINGLY! :) Anyhow, as promised with a special friend, for the rest of my summer days and the days ahead, I would like to try - using all my knowledge and logic, to prove that God exists. InsyaAllah, I will update this blog every night before I go to sleep.

So, does God exist?

(A good story to illustrate how God does exist - click here.)
From the way I see it. If there was no God, how am I here? If there was no Creator, how am I here? Imagine a chair - there would be no chair if there was no man who made it, would there? A house - you won't get a house without groups of people building and structuring it. So, how can I ever say there is no God?

The theory of evolution -

Evolution is the change in the inherited traits of a population of organisms through successive generations. After a population splits into smaller groups, these groups evolve independently and may eventually diversify into new species. A nested hierarchy of anatomical and genetic similarities, geographical distribution of similar species and the fossil record indicate that all organisms are descended from a common ancestor through a long series of these divergent events, stretching back in a tree of life that has grown over the 3,500 million years of life on Earth.^[2] - wikipedia

seems completely absurd to me. Would it ever make sense to say that my ancestors were a number of monkeys or orang utans? Seriously, if those theorists want to claim their ancestors were some monkeys, they can be my guest. Me - I believe God created Adam and Eve, my first ancestor.

What came first, a chicken or a chicken's eggs?

In everything that happens, there has got to be an origin, a start - and who or what can create and has created this start if it's not the Creator itself? The evolutionist claims that life starts from the mutation of other animals etc. But, have they ever questioned themselves - who created those other lives? If it was some cells, who created those cells? Nature? Who created nature?

Plus, let's not forget the fact that evolution has only been a theory. Never has it been proved and I think it is most unlikely they will ever be able to prove that theory of theirs. For example, imagine an apple. If we leave it on its tree, not laying a single finger on it - would it transform into a pear or would it fall down its tree, ready for us to eat? There is just no way that there is no God. if there was no God, who can claim power over this world? If there was no God, will we then start worshipping some man who's just the same as us - needs the same air, needs the same necessities as we do?

*For any wrongdoings - my communication skills or anything else. Please let me know and forgive me. Thank you ^^

*I am not trying to tell you what to think. This is my personal opinion. Any feedback on what you think is highly encouraged to be shared here. At least, I can try and see what you're seeing. :)
*InsyaAllah, after this, I will include "The Qur'an & Modern Science : Compatible or Incompatible" written by Dr. Zakir Naik.

Darah org muda..

Anak muda nak berjuang demi agama,
Namun, dia masih lalai mengejar cinta manusia.
Nak buat macam mana?
Dia baru nak 'mengenal' dunia.

Nasihat dibaca, tutup sebelah mata.
(masuk akal ke ape yg kte kate?)
Janganlah marah anak muda,
Ini peringatan untuk diri jua.

Macam mana nak berjuang demi agama?
Jikalau lebihnya cinta kita kepada dunia?
Janganlah marah anak muda,
Ini peringatan untuk diri jua.

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.

I love being short, tqvm :P

A lot of boys brag about their height. Well, not a lot actually. Usually, they just stay cool and all that (probs bcoz most of 'em are 2 years older than me). But, as always, there will always be someone making fun of my height because they're taller than me and feels the 'need' to tease me.

Once, this boy was saying "Haha. I'm younger than you, but still, I'm taller than you!" FYI little boy, I don't care! I love being short ^-^ and, it's normal for a boy to be taller than a girl. You're only like 2 years younger than me :P Mr.S who's 2 years younger than you is WAY taller - so don't think you're all that! :P

Now, Mr.S has asked me "Why would you ever LIKE being short?!" And here are my answers :)

Reasons why I loooove being short:

* Easier for little kids to look at me.

* Shortie = Cutie. I know you'll agree ;)

* Being tall would be nice, but would be awkward when I'm around friends

* Who wants a husband being shorter than them?

Who knows what else? I'm just happy being the 150+ cm me :) So, whatever you do, do not diss me over my height. Seriously, it'll just make you look like a total jerk - so, might as well not try.

The media and its effects

Music, movies and all the things that can make a simple nobody to a somebody. But, are these nobodies really making themselves a somebody, or are they just showing themselves as some desperate human beings who are begging for attention that they'd do anything to get it?

Look at the well-known artists nowadays. Do they sell their music through their songs and voice? Or are they selling their music through the video clips? Most songs today, I just keep on wondering. Do they have any REAL meaning? Now, I am NOT saying all songs of today's world is crap or meaningless. It's just that, from my view, most songs today are sex orientated and the video clips are just focused on young women stripping their clothes off and act like some sort of a sex slave. It could be because I'm in the western side of the world. But the fact of the matter remains, we are getting more and more bad influence from these kinds of people! If you want to sell your songs, you don't need to include pornography or anything of that sort. Just sing and show your audience the real you. Not some garbage done only to attract perverts.

Do you have a kid? Tell me now, would you like your kids to be exposed to such indecency from a young age? Be realistic, if kids are exposed to the 'adult' world before the appropriate age, this world is going to be a hell lot worse than it is now. Teenage pregnancy will be on the rise. Child abuse. Domestic violence and we will most likely see a rise in peadhophiles. The reason I say paedohiles? When society are getting more 'open' on sex, more people especially youngsters are going to want to 'try' sex until at last, they just can't find a limit to it. When this happens, it would mean that sex are easy to get. And, when these certain people get tired of 'adult' sex. They will most likely hunt down on other types of people, maybe people of their own gender and what would be worse, if these certain people hunt down on young children to fill their curiousity and burning lusts. Would you want to send your children to school feeling scared that they might get raped or something like that? Surely not!

Don't get me wrong, I am not saying all songs are bad. Some are quite inspiring and meaningful. It's just that some artists use sexy women to attract more audience to their albums. A pretty lame way of getting people if you ask me. But, that's the truth I suppose. To them, it's all about the free and 'fun' life, without thinking of the influence they bring into today's world and how it will affect the future.

How ungrateful we are

It's approx 1:19 in the morning while I'm writing this. I was about to go to sleep, until I came across this blog. For those who doesn't understand the language used in the blog. Let me just summarise the entry. It involved a newspaper article talking about how a 30 year old son left his 57 year old dad opposite a school. This unknown son left his dad with a bag of clothes. Truthfully, when I read the article, tears just came down running down my cheek. I couldn't help it - it was just uncontrollable. How can there be anyone who is as heartless as to leave their own father by the side of the road? Fortunately for the 57 year old man, he met an old friend, who offered to spend some nights at his place. May Allah bless you, old man's friend. And for the son, I won't wish you bad stuff, but I hope you realise your mistake.

How could you ever leave your dad over your wife? For God's sake, your wife is just a wife! No matter how you see it, your dad has been the one raising you up since you were born, so, who are you to treat them as if they're a burden to you, when you've 'burdened' your parents since 9 months before you were given birth to? Ungrateful child, no matter how rich you are now. It might not have been possible if it weren't for your dad's effort to raise you well and healthy, with the education you needed - sending you to school and sacrificing his time and energy just for you. And if you are a Muslim, which I'm pretty sure you are. You better repent mate, cause in the end, you should prioritise your parent first than your wife.

Me and my lovely dad. I love you ayah ^-^

Before this, it was child abuse and rapes and all that sort. And now, throwing away your own dad? Man, that is just SAD. Is it me or has society gone mad?

Valentine's day = No panties day?

Woah! Malaysia, Malaysia, Malaysia. It's been just under three years I've been in England and now all I hear is this "No-panties campaign" that's been going on in Malaysia? From what I've read from fellow bloggers, this 'No Panties' campaign is to encourage girls not to wear panties on valentine's day, to show their love to their partners. How STUPID can you get?! How on earth does not wearing panties prove anything? Oh right, maybe I'm forgetting one simple fact - it proofs you're a FOOL if you follow this stupid campaign! And I'm sure glad I ain't one of them.

Why?
I don't know, maybe the fact that it will make you look like a complete slut! And don't worry darling, not just to the public - but to your 'beloved' boyfriend as well! I'm sorry to sound rude but it's the truth. Oh, how the truth hurts. Think about it, if he loves you, does he really need you to 'prove' your love to him? Why do you need to prove your love to him when he hasn't even proven his love to you? And don't give me that lame "Oh, he's proven his love by giving me flowers and taking me out on a romantic dinner". That ain't a proof, that's just his way of making you fall for his cunning tricks. One simple proof of a man's love is marriage. If he truly loves you, as in, he loves you from the bottom of his heart, he doesn't have to take you out. All he would want to do is ask you to be his wife and share his entire life with you.
After you guys get married, maaaan..you can do whatever you want with him. (As long as you don't cross the line that is)

May I remind my fellow Muslim sisters that Valentine's day is haram? Why you ask? Basically because it is a form of Syirk (Syirik). Don't believe me? Click here. Can we think about this campaign for a moment and think who and what started it? Hurmm..Let's see, people has been trying to attack Islam since the years of the Prophet (PBUH). Don't you think this could be one of our enemy's strategy to bring down Islam. They'll start with these kinds of stuff, make us all obsessed with 'love' that we forget the main purpose of life. And when they see us off guard, BANG! That's when they'll make their move. So, I beg you my fellow brothers and sisters. Do not fall prey into their tricks and let's start learning and improving ourselves for the future - both the hereafter and our future on the face of the Earth.

Everyone has their ego and just wants to follow what their 'heart' tells them to do, without realising that it's actually the shaytan's whispers. Well, if you have read this entry, and you still want to follow these stupid Valentine traditions and the stupid 'No Panties' campaign. I pray you well cause I don't know how a person can be so bravely stupid enough as to get themselves closer to hell.

Not no to panties, say no to the campaign and Valentine's day!

Salam

The reason I cry at 2 in the morning

Society now has changed - dramatically! People are going mad - every single day, there will always be cases of rapes, pedhophiles and worse yet, the disposals of little babies. By disposal, I don't mean abortion which unfotunately happens by accident. But, the action in which after the baby is born, he/she gets thrown away. I know, reading is bad enough - try witnessing it!

I was browsing through GengBlogger.com when I found this post: Adakah ibu dan bapa bayi ini manusia? Truly I was disturbed. The thoughts that went through my mind was constantly "How did this baby die?", "I hope her death was not painful" and only Allah knows how hard it is for me to just sit in front of a computer and not being able to help the helpless victims of today's mad society.

Don't get me wrong, I am not saying the whole society is bad, but I believe we need to do something to end this mad 'trend'. One step could be to tighten the media in the country. Pornography needs to be totally out of our country!

Another one could be that the parents need to be more strict! If your son or daughter is having an illegitimate child with someone, don't let them throw the baby away! It's not the baby's fault for crying out loud! The shame in this world is not as bad as the torture in the hereafter. So, do not allow your son/ daughter to throw away a baby only because you're afraid people may talk about you and your family. In the end, they're not the one deciding whether you go to heaven or hell. That's all up to your deeds, so don't add more sins! Fine, your children's crossed the line - but don't make it worse by getting rid of the innocent baby. The baby's done nothing wrong! Just make sure your children's repent and will not do it ever again. Better yet, get them married and make them take the responsibility full on as a parent to the child.

Another way in which parents should be strict, don't give your child everyting he/she wants! They need to learn how to earn it as well! If you keep on giving them what they want, how are they supposed to learn the hard truth of life? Any parent would want the best for their children, but that doesn't mean they need to give in every single time the child cries. Otherwise, they'll just walk over you and treat you like a slave - so stop being so soft! In this world, you can't be too soft and you can't be too harsh! There is always a limit to something - make sure you know these limits and teach your children while you're at it!

Be jealous! That's what my mum said her mum told her. When you're raising a child, you need to be jealous. Not jealous as in envy, but 'be jealous' as in showing concern about what he/ she does because your child is still learning between what's right and what's wrong! They need your help to know the difference, not their friends!

Let's stop this madness.

How would you feel if you were thrown away?

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.

That thing we argued

Love - a beautiful thing when it's true, but a nightmare when it's fake. Before this, during the fasting month I went on Yahoo Messenger and a friend of the opposite gender started a conversation - more like an argument if I were honest. Well, we usually fight online and the only time we're in peace with each other is when we're quiet - pretty much when we're just ignoring each other. What started this whole fight? Truthfully, I don't really know cause I think me and him has always argued, even over the smallest little thing. I've not known him that long, but I can tell you know, he is not like any other guys I've known. I mean, I'm from an all girls school and seeing a guy to me was like "yeah whatever", and most guys that I've known were usually cool and calm - which is why I thought they deserved respect. But this particular boy was just a pain in the neck! He always diss people and treat them as if he was everything that mattered. So, to handle this problem, I tried talking to him. Unfortunately, I never did get my point through.

Our main downfall was the time when he was saying hi to me on yahoo messenger. It all started alright until we get to the subject of coupling. He debated it was fine as long as there's no physical contact. Me? I was sticking to my guns and said "It is NOT". No matter how you try to control your physical contact, it's even harder to control your mind. When you're with your bf/gf, there will always be a side of you that wants to share 'something' with him or her because you think they're 'yours'. To back my point up, I said we should look at the Prophet (PBUH), did he use to go out with girls before he got married? NO! And this so called friend of mine just said. "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm in the 21st century". I mean seriously man, how rude can you get?! That simple sentence from him really did make me think, is he really serious about this thing? Why is he so obsessed with coupling? And then I asked him to go on a conference with me, with someone I knew from ILuvIslam.com. This someone was studying in Egypt so I figured he could help us with our ignorance. But then, that friend of mine refused and said he has to go. So, I was like "fair enough. If he doesn't want to listen, that's up to him cause really in the end, it's his life. I tried to tell him what's good and what's not. He doesn't want to listen - that's his problem."

After a while, I felt guilty for arguing with him and decided to say sorry to him on Facebook. What I didn't expect was his reply "Can you stop with all this religious shit?". Errkk..excuse me? If it weren't for this religion, I'd just ignore you and act as if I don't know you. I might as well just pay someone to kill you! Please, pardon drama as I was in complete disbelieve. What's even surprising was, you know how before that he said "coupling is alright as long as there's no physical contact? At school not long after this argument, I saw him putting his hand over a girl right after class.Now I ask you, what kind of a hypocrite is that?! And now, he's not on my Facebook and we just technically ignore each other at school and wherever we may see each other. I don't know if I should feel guilty or what, but I wish he could just stop pretending and show his true self, because his arrogance and lies are really getting on my nerve now. :S

Hijab - a form of oppression?

Many people has asked me how I feel about wearing a hijab, or a headscarf as some people call it. Well, the first main reason would be - it is part of my religion, for women to cover their body from strangers and people who has no right to see their body.

Secondly, I know hijab is a way to protect me and avoid sinful and shameful acts. Protect me in what way you may wonder? It's to protect me from lustful men and it avoids me from being the target of rapists etc. I mean, think about it, if I cover my body, men won't be as attracted or tempted to come near me, flirt with me and sleep with me, only for the sake of fulfilling their sexual desire. But then, if that was the case, who would want to marry me, you ask? That is a really good question and I've got a really good answer ;) Good men would not pick a wife by their body shape or how many guys she's slept with. They would not even want her to be the attention of other guys, let alone their hands. They would want their wives to be modest, independent and able to take care of herself - let her be confident with her own beauty, not dependent on make-ups and tight jeans. Let her be powerful - in terms of knowledge, and not how good she is in seducing other men. So, I'll get a good man in return, I mean, who would want to get married and be left for another 'sexy' woman?

Thirdly, I know I'm free - free from the pressures most girls face - pressures on how to look good, what make-ups I should use, how I should use it. To be fairly honest, I couldn't care less about make-ups; I'm not a tomboy, I just don't like having people looking at me as if I'm their dinner or something. Saves money as well! :D

Because I'm running out of time, I'll leave you with a couple of good videos that can be related to our subject here. Enjoy! :D
