found our way back

(via weheartit)

Despite whatever both have been through,

despite the obstacles & challenges faced,
despite the blunders & mistakes made,

despite all the tears & regrets,

anger & sadness,

"If two people are meant to be together, eventually they'll find their way back."

:')

Allah is the best of planners; continued

so, for my dear readers who happen to stumble upon yesterday's entry would know that my day yesterday ended off on an awesome note. alhamdulillah. :)

what started off as an oh-so-emotional day (no surprises there, november is a melancholic month for me), ended with dearest cuzzie, Nadiah asking me to tag along to her ustaz's class.

it all started with her sending me an image of Barney Stinson (shall not elaborate on him today.. if you watch himym you should know.. shall not elaborate on himym also.. see, i always digress on nonsense things like this) & how he is getting more awesome despite everything else.

and then me replying to her on how emotional i am at that point of time because of something not-so-important but at the same time not-really-that-irrational (to me). am very thankful she understands this nonsensical emotional roller-coaster ride that i have at times. *hugs*

to cut the story short, the watsapp conversation ended with her asking me to join her for class @ al-falah after maghrib. and i agreed since i have nothing on at night & the class sounds interesting -- "The 10 Promised Paradise."

the moment i stepped into the class, the first thing that struck me was why were there so many Chinese people in this class. somehow it did not strike my mind at that point of time that Muslim converts comes from all races.
(this is what happens when you always go to classes full of makciks & pakciks.. 
you start to think that orang Islam = orang Melayu.. hahahahahaha)

so yes, i was in awe really to be surrounded by these converts. honestly, i would love to know each & every one of their story. what made them convert to Islam? how did they find Islam? was it challenging being a non-Malay Muslim? etc etc etc. you get my drift.

so these questions were just playing at the back of my head as i listened to the ustaz's presentation. my full concentration was on him, until someone diagonally behind me said something & i swiveled my head to look at that direction & noticed a guy with his whole left arm covered with tattoos (!)

and at that exact moment, pride & awe overcame me. this guy, with an arm full of tattoos (!) is attending this class!

(ermmm, you can say that i was a bit jakun la actually.. as i said my class always full of makciks & pakciks hence to get such a vibrant class is a bit overwhelming i might say.. hehehe)

so yes, once i got over myself, i managed to continue listening to ustaz's presentation.. he presents in English by the way, but of course. and this was the other (little) problem i had as i am very much used to other ustaz presenting in either Malay or Bahasa Indonesia.. i literally had to translate (in my head of course) some of the things he was saying to the Malay language.. hahaha..  
very kental i know!!!

like for example, caliphates = khalifahs, shroud = kain kafan, and then there's forbearance, magnanimity, emoluments & well, you get the idea.. hehe.. maklumlah, cikgu Melayu.. ;p

so yes, all in all it was really an awesome experience to say the least. :)

and something happened too (right after cuzzie asked me along) which made her said,

"alhamdulillah, see better things happen when we decide to do good things for ourselves :D"

so to you, i wanna thank you too for making my day with that sweet (but cheeky) message of yours. good luck with the making of the video montage. i miss you today.
(and who this person is? that, i shall not say, for now. hehe.)

to end this off, again i reiterate.. Allah IS indeed the BEST of all planners. :))

missing every little thing about you

i hate it when a song reminds you of someone.

And ALL you can think about after that,

is how much you miss that person.

(via weheartit)

but all you can do right now, 

is have faith,

that eventually,

everything will fall into place.

insya-Allah.

all over again

and i thought 

when you never really stop loving someone,

the love just stays the way it is.

i did not count on the fact that the love, 

can actually grow.

i can now safely say, 

you have always been the one, the only one,

who truly understands me.

fate wins anyway

"Maybe Romeo and Juliet were fated to be together, but just for a while, and then their time passed. And if they could've known that beforehand, maybe it would've all been OK. I told Ms. Synder that when I was grown up, I would take fate into my own hands. I wouldn't let some guy drag me down. Mrs. Synder said I'd be lucky if I ever had that kind of passion with someone, and if I did, we would be together forever. Even now I believe for the most part, love is about choices. It's about putting down the poison and the dagger and making your own happy ending, most of the time, and that sometimes despite all your best choices and all your best intentions, fate wins anyway."

noteworthy

Things to take note:

1. REJECTION = God’s way of saying “Wrong Direction”.

2. You can’t let yourself fall for the same shit over and over.

3. It’s better to be alone than have somebody who is half there or doesn’t want to be there.

4. Take risks and be courageous. Don’t miss the opportunity by wallowing in past failures, current blame or future fear.

5. Don’t fall for someone who gives you pretty words and false hopes.

6. Don’t ask God to do what you want, but ask God to do what is right.

7. Never settle for anything less than you deserve!

8. It’s so much easier to give other people good advice on anything, but so hard to listen to our own.

9. Bad things happen to you to make you realize your true potential, strength, will power, and heart. Have faith and stay strong!

10. I’s AMAZING how fast happiness tracks you down when you stop looking for it. :)

11. 10 ways to love: listen, speak, give, pray, answer, share, enjoy, trust, forgive, promise.

12. One of the toughest parts in life is deciding when to give up or try harder.

13. You can’t find the right person… if you never let go of the wrong person.

14. Don’t lose heart if love seems to be arriving a little late... the BEST things come to those who wait! :)

15. Mistakes build character. Its not what you’ve done, but what you do with the pieces after you put them back together.

16. Never let your past dictate who you are, but let it be a part of who you’ll become.

17. Every time you see a blocked path, don’t get upset. It could just be God’s great guidance. Have faith!

18. Remember: They can keep coming around but they can’t stop you from moving on!

19. Some people can find a way in the worst of times, all because of the way they think. “Think Positive!”

20. Follow your passions, believe in karma & you won’t have to chase your dreams, they will come to you.
