A couple of days after my last post, my pc died. For some reason the screen didnt want to turn on. So I sent it to curries to get it fixed. Up to 29 days for me to get the laptop back. Gila! Kan buat kraja uni cana. So I weighed my options and finally decided to go for what countless other people have already discovered. Bali Mac. Love Mac. I went to London a couple of days later for the 15% discount. In kent 6% saja. I left London with a brand new 13 inch 2.26 Ghz Macbook Pro. 15 inch was 450 pounds more expensive unfortunately. I got home and carefully opened the plastic bag it was in. I know that sounds ridiculous, carefully opening a plastic bag. But apples plastic bags are more like bags which u bring ur football boots around in. Lawa lah. On my lap was the sleek looking box. Aku buka carefully. Inside the box ada laptop, charger, a piece of paper and a CD. Compared to all PC's, it was simple and a joy to buka. Mac had me before it even had a chance to say hello, which it did when i turned it on for the first time.
So pokoknya, bali mac. When ur pc is failing u, bali mac. My newest pc, yang baru baru rosak, after countless hours researching the best laptop to buy and finally deciding on a HP, it only lasted me 10 MONTHS!!!
I picked it up from curries yesterday. Turned it on. Macam aku balum lagi antar ke kadai wah. Exactly the same problem, inda mau on. You wonder bahapa dorang with my laptop for 2 weeks, pakai as a stand for their MACS kali.
The only thing im not puas hati with dengan mac is nada SOPCAST. Inda dapat stream football. There is a way, but all the crossover applications and install this and that makes me not want to bother.
Ok abis tia my explanation for not updating even though i promised too. Expect normal service to return soon, kalau aku inda malas. While kamu menunggu, why dont u watch this.

Hi guys. Its been close to 2 months now since i last updated tapi ive had good reason. First month was bulan Ramadhan and I never really found time to be able to update my blog. And its not like I had alot to talk about anyway. My whole holiday in Brunei, again, was very uneventful just like last year. And I got back ke canterbury a couple of weeks ago, missing the first week of lectures so I have had lots of catching up to do. Ive decided to take things seriously this year, and I know I say that almost all the time tapi kali ani banar aku inda eksen.
To those who care, a couple of days ago was my last day as vice president of MBSOC. Malaysian Bruneain Society. Sayangnya this year macam inda brapa laku. 1st years just dont seem intrested. But since I havce an emotional connection to the society, as I have it to thank for many good memories for the past 2 years, ive decided to help out in a lesser role. Ehseh, si tahi aku ani eh.
Personal life, well as I said previously, sibuk ku with work and I havent had internet. Internet ani pun ku curi dari bruneian neighbours yang baik berabis. I guess work should come first masa ani anyway. Well second to football. I have class tomorrow tapi inda buat kraja pasal the champions league show is on.
Bah expect more normal updates soon. Ive been reading this book which has inspired me to take my faith to another level. Well try anyway. Insyallah.
Ok then. Thanks to those who have tagged, sorry nada bereply. Much appreciated nonetheless.

Assalamualaikum
First of all a very happy Ramadhan to everyone. Hopefully we all have a very good fasting month and may many blessings be rewarded to us all. Amin
Second, apologies for not updating for a while. I have been very lazy. But good news is, ive decided my next post will be about love for someone for the sake of Allah. At first I pretty much thought I knew what this was, but when I really thought about it I realised I didnt really have a clue. So I had to ask around and read some stuff about it and I think I have finally grasped what loving someone for the sake of Allah means.
Surat al-An'am, 162. "Say: 'My prayer and my rites, my living and my dying, are for Allah alone, the Lord of all the worlds." This ayah states that everything we do is for Allah. Kind of self explanatory but we cannot take this for granted. Everything we do is for Allah. So everything we do, from what we eat and drink, what we say, what we think, the relationships we make, everything should be done with Allah in mind. So here we realise that we cannot love anything or anyone more than we love Allah. This is in fact plain and simple. Love for people or love for objects, these things were all created by Allah then why should the love we feel for those things be measured up to our love for Allah.
So first thing we need to establish in our lives is that there is no greater love than our love for Allah. This isnt hard. All we have to do is look around and realised everything we have been blessed with is a gift from Allah. Bonds of family and friendship are all gifts from Allah. Everything is a gift from Allah that I dont even need to write these things down, if you can think of anything which you love, this is a gift from Allah.
But what is loving someone else for the sake of Allah?
When you see something beautiful, a nice painting for example. You dont praise the painting for looking amazing, you praise the artist for an excellent job the artist did. Now the larger picture. You see where im going? Siapa siapa saja hot kah, lawa berabis kah, they dont deserve the praise. But this is a shallow way of looking at things. What really matters in life is not for these worldly pleasures, but it is for our efforts for the afterlife. So what we should really love a person for is for their Iman, their good deeds and everything they do for Allah.
This didnt make much sense to me at first but later I came to realise that we may think we love someone for how they look or maybe even shallower, how much money they earn, the car they drive etc etc, but I dont think there is anyone who actually thinks that this love will last. This love is temporary and is a trick from Syaitan to make us forget about Allah. When we love someone it should be for the sake of Allah, which means we follow the guidelines set upon us by the Al-Quran and do not commit any sins when persue-ing it. I guess this also applies to loving a girl/guy outside of marriage. We shouldnt look for someone, whether we look for looks or whatever and love that person because we think we can make a good life with that person. We should love someone because we think we can do what we can for the afterlife with that person, loving that person solely for the sake of Allah.
Inda romantic? Inda passionate? These worldly pleasures shouldnt worry us. All we should worry about is making sure we are ready for the next life. This isnt a single job either as we need someone to help us through this journey and this is where our significant other comes into the picture. Love for him or her for the sake of Allah, love for Allah will be the greatest love we will ever feel and lets pray we will be blessed by Allah and may our lives be easy.
Im not sure if I made much sense. I kinda hurried the last bit because football is on. Hahaha.

Assalamualaikum
Do you believe in Allah? Its a simple question which most of you will instantaneously say yes. In fact any other answer other than yes probably means you lead a very pointless life. But for all of us that did say yes, it is time for question number 2. Since you believe in Allah, why do you think it is so hard to do what we have been instructed to do in the holy Al-Quran. To fulfill our duties and to leave what we have been forbidden to do.
These are 2 very simple questions we can ask ourselves when reflecting on life. To be a proper muslim, we need to fulfill the 5 requirements, Rukun Islam. Number 1, the most important one is mengucap dua kalimah syahadat. Professing ones belief in the oneness of Allah and that Nabi Muhammad SAW is Allahs messenger. It is a simple place to start when asking yourself what kind of person you have become and how you are going to improve yourself from now on. Its simple to ask, but merely saying the syahadat is not enough. You have to believe with all your heart in the words you are saying not just because you are suppose to, but because you know that Allah is our creator and our purpose is to serve Allah.
Still sounding easy though? Bagus Allhamdullilah. Then there is no reason why we cannot complete the tasks we have been given and to leave all which is forbidden. Sembahyang, Puasa, membaca Al-Quran, Beribadat, Zakat, menutup aurat, makan makanan halal, no alcohol, no dating, no mingling between men and women, inda mengumpat...
Why is it so hard to do these things? Kami malas kah? We think we still have tons of time to insaf. We think that its ok as long as kami percayakan kepada Allah. Only Allah knows why we do the things we do and only Allah knows how long we have to insaf over the sins we have committed. Everyday is a challenge. Even the most holiest of us have bad days and only one small sin can be the start to the rosak-ing of our iman, our faith. That is why we need to better ourselves everyday in order to prevent this from happening.
Payah pulang and you may read this and think, esok saja. Or I may be totally in the wrong, trying to feed my ego by preaching to you all when I myself am far from being half decent. Only Allah knows and all we can do is try and do what we think is right while always asking Allah for forgiveness for any sin we have committed, knowingly or not. So think not badly of me for sharing my opinions and I apologize kalau ada salah yang im trying to say ani.
Ok atu saja kali dulu. Assalamualaikum

I love August
Reason being is there are so many birthdays of people I know this month. Also my birthday is in August. But enough about birthdays, its just another day anyway. More importantly, Ramadhan is coming soon and hopefully all of you are ready for another month of fasting and sembahyang terawih. Ive always enjoyed ramadhan, especially the days when I dont have to go to work and I can just chillax at home. Its kinda just like every other day I spend at home when im not working, tapi being ramadhan, its extra special.
Ive been thinking lately about mencari bini2. I think its almost impossible. Not that I have been trying though. Its more like, I dont know how to cari while still trying to strengthen Iman. I know it just takes one act and it can destroy everything you try so hard to improve upon. Making mistakes once and then asking Allah for forgiveness is fine, thats why it is called a mistake. But doing it balik balik and your taubat just seems pointless. A sincere taubat is also a promise that we will not redo the same sin from which we are seeking forgiveness from. This is one reason why I plan on not dating, not main2-ing with girls and going on pointless dates. To find someone to love in the name of Allah is a huge challenge. And being able to put aside all the doubts and fears you have, to be going almost blindly into a relationship and a marriage, this is where faith really comes into play. To believe fully that Allah would not set things up this way without there being a reason. Who are we to say the old ways of cari bini and cari lelaki are inferior to the courting rituals masa ani.
I dont know really. Payah wah banarnya to be able to promise yourself to a person and also fully accepting that person into your life, and vice versa. It seems like an impossible task. I guess thats why we need to keep the faith. That there is a plan for all of us and we just need to chillax a little. Stop rushing life and giving into our urges and temptations. Insyallah we will all find the person we are meant to share our lives with. Amin

Assalamualaikum to all my pembaca-ers
A recent tag has gotten me thinking. I think I am overly sensitive with the way I look and how this makes me come across to other people. When you openly admit you feel insecure over a certain attribute of yourself, you leave openings for people to come and make fun of you. Its all in good fun of course, mana siok kalau orang ani overly sensitive that they cant even take a joke kan. But I think the way I act around people has left me open in too many places. Ada tia jokes about tingginess, lampuhness, bulatness, past girlfriends, recent prospects tapi inda menjadi (this was months ago for those of you wondering)and tons and tons of diffrent things. Pokoknya, I think out of every single one of my groups of friends, and I have a couple, aku saja yang banyak kana make fun of ani. Im not complaining here even though it may sound like I am, this is just a realisation of how I act determines how other people treat me in return.
As a good muslim, you take everything that is directed at you and turn in into positive energy. Jangan marah, jangan balas balik and jangan merajuk. These are all negative things that doesnt bring any good to you as a person of a muslim. Ani yang I try my best to do everyday, even though the balas balik thing is something I probably lose out to the most. Tapi kan, if only I didnt go on and on about how short I am or how I need to lose weight, these kinds of things wouldnt be happening.
Allah created all of us and when we start complaining about height, weight and the like, it is like we are openly rejecting the gifts and blessings we have been granted by Allah. We are all special and all perfect in our own way and we have to realise this and be thankful.
And remember Allah always, not just when you are in times of need. Imagine you have a friend who only looks for you when they need something. Annoying berabis kan. Well its beribu juta times worse when we forget about Allah.
Haha beribu juta.
Ok atu saja. Assalamualaikum
