Lets Join Us!

Assalamualaikum wbt...

Just finished with these posters. Thanks to Intan for helping with wordings and sorry for such intolerable delay. All in all, its great fun making posters until sometimes we "syiok sendiri" and forget that posters are for delivering specific messages and not the sole medium of self expression. So, the typography is important. Clarity is important. Information that we want to highlight is important. Remember that Munir.. not just the appearance of it.

I wish I can improve my poster making skill. (Photoshop la tu)... So, your constructive criticism is always welcomed. Im still a beginner. (^_^)v And im not "ahli" in this matter so pardon my knowledge.

Busybody r us

Assalamualaikum wbt...

Its my first day of 4th sem. I woke up early thank to my dearest roommate. I feels great today even though its raining and windy.And this will be a new beginning, O Allah, make us strong and make everyday better than before.

Astagfirullah, I whine a bit yesterday about a bit of busy-ness that envelope my day. Well, it happens because of few days of "futur". So serve me right! Then, a lovely sister told me, "Kalau Allah x sibukkan kita dengan perkara2 besar, Dia akan sibukkan kita dengan perkara2 kecik."

Its true, that whatever happens, we humans will always make ourself busy. Even if we have nothing to do, there is the urge to poke into things, jaga tepi kain org, looking for stuff to do. And delight urself, when your busy-ness is busyness because you work for Allah's sake, for Allah's way. Coz if not, you may do something else that He doesnt not approve, or just wasting ur time away.

Verily, the nikmat of free time is one of the nikmat we always throw away by doing wasteful things. And syaitan will always try their best to make you busy with dunia and all the beauties in it until you forget to busy ourself in finding the provision for the hereafter.


(Bit unrelated picture shows how to share a burden (n busy-ness) in a community. Can be applied in an organisation)


"Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets reward for that (good) he earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned. "Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error, our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those before us (Jews and Christians); our Lord! Put not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Pardon us and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our (Patron, Supporter and Protector) and give us victory over the disbelieving people.""
(Al-Baqarah, 286)

Cebisan Hati yang Tertinggal di Bumi Anbiya

Assalamualaikum...

Isk, salah diri ni sbb membawa pena dan kertas ke pembaringan.

Pada bicara yang terhijab
Ku membaca keikhlasan
Dan pada senyuman yang terlukis
Setinggi kesyukuran
Nun jauh di tanah x terjejak
Dibawah lembayungMu
Ada saudaraku...

Ya Allah...
Tali apakah ini???
Yang menyatu hati
Pada insan-insan yang tak pernah kulihat
Pada suara yang belum pernah kudengar

Ya Allah...
Begini indah terciptanya ukhwah
Hingga kukenali pada sekali pertemuan
Dia saudaraku...

Dan pada perpisahan
Yang mungkin menjadi pasti
Dia tersenyum lagi

Hati kami telah disentuh
Dan hari yang kan berlalu
Takkan sama lagi


Ilal Liqa' Maa'salamah
Buat Makcik Penjaga Masjid di Port Fuad
Moga makcik sentiasa tersenyum, sebagai mana saya tak dapat berhenti bila teringat makcik...

Kembali dari Mesir (^_^)

Assalamualaikum wbt...

Alhamdulillah, Im back from Egypt last nite. All 7 of us have loads of fun! If responsibility has no value in this world and the hereafter, then I would love to just stay there and have fun everyday (jalan2, makan2, tangkap gambar.) But life IS responsibility...

15 days of adventure was one of the best vacation i had. Theres long stories to be told and I just dont know where to start. Ill write about it Insya-Allah after I get all the vacation photos from the others. (So I can add em to my post ^_^ )
So, to fill the gap... I present the pantuns I remixed in the Budapest - Dublin flight.

Busur diacu pada rembulan,
Panah kembali menusuk bumi,
Tinggi sungguh hajatmu tuan,
Cerminkan sekali empunya diri.

Kiranya ingin menjejak awan,
Jahitkan sayap dari keringat,
Besar kepingin dihati tuan,
Siramlah kerap doa dan kudrat.

Rindunya pungguk pada sang bulan,
Bintang yang cerah hanya hiasan,
Cinta terpupuk pada akhiran,
Dunia yang indah hanya hiasan.

The flight was too noisy so I couldnt sleep. So apart from the pantuns, I have a spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings.

Pilihlah permata yang terbaik
aku sahabat, bukan musuhmu

Pelayaran kita masih jauh
Kiranya laut berhenti berombak
kugundah kita kan karam bersama
atau berubah hala layarnya

dan sungguh...
Pilihlah permata yang terbaik.
