Cerita ikhlas

Lesson learnt.

Nobody does your work as enthusiastic as yourself. Moral of the story is, jgn buat kerja last minute. Supaya xperlu minta tolong org lain. I blame myself for not being the most hardworking person n push all my work to the last minute!

Sometimes kt nampak keikhlasan org. Senang aja, kalau org tu smgt, dia akan tanya kalau xtahu. Xpun dia jot down apa kt ckp. Bukan dgr sebelah telinga tp btul2 nk tolong. Benda smua dh ada.. Just ASK! Ofcoz ask nicely la ok?


Mode: penat.. Gotta get some sleep. Penat stress dgn phd dh tu  penat layan perasaan sedih n geram ni. Baik kt tdo ye x? Xpa, Allah sentiasa bersama. Insyaallah!


P/s: nobody in this world loves u enough utk tolong dengan penuh semangat.  But i know i will, if i love that person enough.. I already plan to help , dgn penuh smgt jujur dan ikhlas as if it is my own work! Xnk la ala kada ok? Sbb bila kt syg org tu, his or her success is our success juga. Kt share gembira dan glory diorg. Only if u truly care of coz! Xoxo


Motto: xpa, biar orang buat kt kita, tp kita jgn buat kt org.



Jom ease stress dgn main zombie sat.. Zzzz

CATSSSSS

They are adorable, cute and cuddly, to some.. Just see their eyes.. it is tempting to love cats. I wont deny..

No doubt, they are cute sometimes..

But no matter how cute they are.. i really cannot get near them. I am having Ailurophobia. Yup.. i just cant. Not that i wont..but i just cant. And some people really need to understand this fact. 

I dont hate cats. I am afraid of cats.

The worst thing happened today, when having lunch. The cat pounce me right on my lap.. and i go..whoaaa... and jump on my feet.. SO there goes a good lunch. Terus mati selera. Psychologically affected by it, i cannot focus on my plate anymore. So i started feeling uncomfortable, like it is there all the time. Cats are also brilliant. They sense fear. So that cat during lunch.. really psyched me! Pounce me again.. coming near again and again even i shooed it away.. sad sad.. i just can t see why.. All i know i cannot help it. It isn't what i want. So don't tell me to go for therapy whatsoever to cure this. It cannot be done that way. Do not force me into being friendly with cats. I love looking and admiring, i don't think they can ever get close to me. Please understand that fact!!!! I would blame the cat, not myself..The cat is the one aiming me. I am the victim there. Sad. 

See what i mean?

Have I forgotten something?

Owh my goodness..i have! it is the year. THE YEAR i turn 27!! It is supposed to be the year i graduate and the year i end my solo days. I am 27..gasps!!!! Well, last 26 March, i turned 27. So i wasnt sure if i am that late realizing it. Anyway, it has been a week now so i am officially a week late to catch up with two of my biggest goals:

a. Finish PhD and start work before turning 28 (October is my dateline! must must!!)

b. Get married before turning 28 (February next year is the target)

So, let get started. Lots to be done here..Wish me luck!

Sincerely,

the 27 year old hazrina

2013

So in the midst of submitting my fourth chapter (after busy submitting chapter 1-3 which explains why i had not updated my page since january 2013) a sudden urge to write came to me. 

Although i knew march is a little too late for me to say happy new year..i would still say it.. so Happy New Year folks. I really hope that 2013 is my year. The year of success and happiness that could replace all the sorrows that happened in 2012. i must admit 2012 is the worst year. Everything was cramped in one single terrible year. I am glad this is a new year. A new turn of page.

InsyaAllah, i hope everything goes right this year and many more years to come. I thank Allah for still letting me breath and giving me life for another wonderful year. I thank Allah for taking away my temporary sorrow and replaced it back with a smile for me to put on my face once again. And for the record, I thank Allah for giving me the challenge with problems and finally helped me survived it. Syukur Alhamdulillah.

Now, let us get back to whatever that we were doing and for me, lets continue thesis..thesis..thesis :)
Can't wait for 2014 actually..

All the best everyone. 

Time flies lightning speed

I am actually quite surprised at how time could really be so speedy. I am now nearing the end of my third PhD semester. So now i am left with another three. Phew...that is really fast. It was only last year that i graduated as a degree architect. 

So now, it is really time to struggle for my thesis. I am glad that my data had been collected and on going analysis is on its way, Syukur Alhamdulillah. Hopefully i can complete this task and start serving my family soon, perhaps in another 11/2 years, insyaAllah. Hoping hoping hoping... Hoping that i would get my doctorate by the time i am 27.

Is it too soon for me to start thinking of what to do next? So what will i do next? Work of course.. Can't wait for work..or perhaps, a second degree? I can never stop learning, can I? I want to learn something new and fresh.. BUT what  would it be? 

Wondering***

I think this is a wonderful quote. Taken from marketingartfully.com

Stop Wondering and Get Back to Work.

It really worked

Waking up for your morning prayers could be challenging to some. I believe with some extra practice that is with constant effort to try, one day waking up will not be a problem anymore, insyaAllah. I have copied an article from a friend's facebook post for me to share with other people who might want to know the tips on how to wake up for morning prayer. I usually experience difficulties waking up when i sleep in late the previous night. I have tried number (2) and it really worked. Alhamdulillah, hopefully i will not miss my Subuh again even if i slept late. 


~!!~ 14 TIPS ON HOW TO WAKE UP FOR FAJR ~!!~

1) Make sincere dua to Allah swt to give you the ability to wake up -MAKE BIG INTENTIONS

2) Read tasbih before sleeping (33 Alhamdulilah,33 SubhanAllah,33 Allahu Akbar)

3) Go to sleep straight after Isha Salaah

4) Avoid the shaitan button (snooze button).The only thing this does is make you miss the time of Fajr

5) keep the alarm clock away from easy reach. By doing this you will have to get out of the bed and ward off the sleep.

6) Don’t eat late! Try to eat at least two hours before you sleep. If you eat n go straight to bed you’ll feel tired while waking up and will feel sleepier.

7) Ask someone to wake u up.

8) Recite verse number 127 of Surah Baqarah and last four verses of surah Kahf before going to sleep. By reciting these verses if a person makes an intention to wake up at a particular time, InshaAllah one will wake up on that time.

9) If it is convenient take a nap in afternoon which is also Sunnah and also aids in waking up for Fajr

10) Fight the nafs and stand up .The nafs would say “a few mins more,” those few minutes will lead you to miss your Salaah completely.

11) READ the benefits of praying Fajr

**Aisha (RA) relates that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said about the two rakaats before Fajr ‘they are dearer to me than the whole world.”
(Muslim)

12) Spare a moment to think about yourself and how you will fare tomorrow in the presence of Allah (SWT), the Almighty, the Supreme. Do we want to depart in such a wretched state, without performing such a momentous obligation? Allah, Subhaanahu wata aala, says:

**“And Hell will be brought near that Day. On that Day will man remember, but how will that remembrance then avail him?” [Al-Fajr: 23]

13) Know that Shaytaan is good at making the Salaah seem like a chore or a waste of energy. But the true believer will know that Salaah is the greatest opportunity for every Muslim to have their sins forgiven, to earn Allaah’s huge rewards and to get to the Jannah that He has promised for all those who bow down and prostrate to their Lord. These are the ones who love to obey the commands of their Lord, and who are constant in Praying their Salaah.

14) When a Muslim goes to sleep, shaitaan ties 3 knots!

--To undo these knots in a Sunnah style:

~When you wake up do any form of Dhikr of Allah.. I.e:”Alhumdulillah”
** The first knot has been unlocked **

~Make Wudhu! Wash away the sleep & try and sleep with wudhu!
** The second knot has been unlocked **

~Pray 2 rakats!
** Knot 3 is unlocked! **

These 3 knots are what prevent you from getting up!

~REMEMBER! The punishment and then the rewards... Missing a few minutes of you sleep will bring you no harm, but having the few minutes of sleep, may just get u thrown into the hell fire.

**May Allah SWT grant us all the strength and motivation to wake up for Fajr everyday… AMEEN SUM AMEEN YA RABBAL ALAMEEN.**

So let us all try this tips together.. All the best :)

Stucked..

"Should I give up or should i just keep chasing pavements. Even if it leads nowhere?"

 Adele in Chasing Pavements

This song just got stuck in my head..

I've been listening to Adele playlist in my car these few days. That explains why i got this song stuck in my head. But, a big but there.. But this is not just a song to me, it is a song that carried a different meaning. Most songs would be talking about how sweet love is, or if they are not meant for each other or if you want to break up and so on. To me, as to how i interpret it ( maybe other people sees it differently) it is a song that tries to tell that a girl is in love with a guy that has not come clean with his feelings for her in return. Maybe because she has not confessed to him yet because she is afraid that he would reject her and she is positive that he would not return her love even if she does come clean. Anyways, this is purely my thought, it could mean differently though. 

This is the full lyric of this song:

I've made up my mind,

Don't need to think it over,

If I'm wrong I am right,

Don't need to look no further,

This ain't lust,

I know this is love but,

If I tell the world,

I'll never say enough,

Cause it was not said to you,

And that's exactly what I need to do,

If I'm in love with you,

Should I give up,

Or should I just keep chasing pavements?

Even if it leads nowhere,

Or would it be a waste?

Even If I knew my place should I leave it there?

Should I give up,

Or should I just keep chasing pavements?

Even if it leads nowhere

I'd build myself up,

And fly around in circles,

Waiting as my heart drops,

And my back begins to tingle

Finally could this be it

Should I give up,

Or should I just keep chasing pavements?

Even if it leads nowhere,

Or would it be a waste?

Even if I knew my place should I leave it there?

Should I give up,

Or should I just keep chasing pavements?

Even if it leads nowhere yeah

Should I give up,

Or should I just keep chasing pavements?

Even if, it leads nowhere,

Or would it be a waste?

Even if I knew my place should I leave it there?

Should I give up,

Or should I just keep on chasing pavements?

Should I just keep on chasing pavements? Or

Should I give up,

Or should I just keep chasing pavements?

Even if it leads nowhere,

Or would it be a waste?

Even if I knew my place should I leave it there?

Should I give up,

Or should I just keep chasing pavements?

Even if it leads nowhere

Its a unique song that i just got to like. Thanks Adele. Keep singing, please.
