This Love is Ours

Assalamualaikum

....and I told myself to stay strong over and over again....

Elevator buttons and morning air
Stranger's silence makes me wanna take the stairs
If you were here, we'd laugh about their vacant stares
But right now, my time is theirs

Seems like there's always someone who disapproves
They'll judge it like they know about me and you
And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do
The jury's out, but my choice is you

So don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
The stakes are high, the water's rough, but this love is ours

You never know what people have up their sleeves
Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me
Lurking in the shadows with their lip gloss smiles
But I don't care 'cause right now you're mine

And it's not theirs to speculate if it's wrong and
Your hands are tough but they are where mine belong in
I'll fight their doubt and give you faith with this song for you

'Cause I love the gap between your teeth
And I love the riddles that you speak
And any snide remarks from my father about your tattoos will be ignored
'Cause my heart is yours

And don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
But they can't take what's ours, they can't take what's ours
The stakes are high, the water's rough, but 

this love is ours

I don't freaking care anymore.

Hari-hari Ku Bermula

Assalamualaikum

Officially I'm in love with Jamie McAvoy! *hahah tetibe* Takde lah, I was watching Atonement just now. Another 30 mins nak habes, tetibe kne tukar Raja Lawak 6 sebab satu family nak tengok. Hehehhe takpe at least kawan aku da gitau ape ending Atonement tu *hahah spoil gile kan*

Anyway. Nak update sket (or maybe banyak) setelah seminggu bekerja hehe. 

Monday

Before 8 am da sampai Philips. Ade briefing dari pagi sampai petang. Memang ngantok sket sebab tak cukup tido ergh. On the way balik tu kan, Ayah was driving then aku mengadu sket sebab penat seharian dengar lecture. Hehe mengade2 tak. Tapi memang exhausted pon, rase tak bersemangat sangat. Then suddenly Mey call tau. Aku terkzut gile sebab lme gak kitorang tak contact (a month ago kot), tetibe die ambush pongpangpongpang hahaha but in short, "Dayah, aku nak bagitau ada satu vacancy kat Kerteh ni (under Petronas Chemical). Tapi nanti ko keje dengn kawan aku la, nme die Norma. Boss die nak cari orang cepat2. Since ko pon da pegi SI tu, aku rase ko bole dapat InsyaAllah. Ko send la latest resume ko. Position die ni deal dengan costing, guna Aspen sebijik cam kite guna mase kat Vandy dulu. Memang apply sangat2 la". Omg!!! I can't breathe!! *ok agak over di situ* Time tu mata aku bersinar2. Cakap pon tetibe kuat, bersemangat teros! Tula, tadi sedih sangat sebab penat hahha. Apelagi, malam tu jugak aku send resume+cover letter. Tak kesah la tido lambat ke ape. Allah ni memang sayang kita kan, suka bagi surprise2 macam ni :)

Tuesday

 Pagi tu briefing lagi. Dengar orang lecture, aa ngantok lagi tapi lepas lunch tu kitorang masuk production area. Haha pakai smock macam angkasawan der! Super lawak FC okay? Dalam kul 3, kitorang kne jumpe supervisor masing2. Alhamdulillah, dapat ketua yang baik and her name's Lai Ling. Cantik dan tinggi pule tu. Macam Lina Teoh (knal tak?) tapi Chinese version punye meh hihihi. Then aku teringat kawan2 Intel aku. Teringin nak jumpe so ajak diorang dinner. Tempat, diorang decide keh3. Lagipun ayah ade mnde nak kena settle lepas keje (yes aku pegi keje dengan ayah aku HAHA). So pukul 6 lebih, kitorang kumpul kat Nurul's Ikan Bakar. Ayah aku datang pick-up aku kat Nurul's kul 7.30 camtu. Then again, Mey sms aku. It says (hasil edit aku hiks), "Aku da print resume ko tapi Norma tu tak datang pulak meeting kat tempat keje aku. Lagipun ko kne betulkan email address ngan structure resume ni bagi mantop sket. Baru la boss die nak hire ko hehehe". Fuuhhh nasib baik Mey cakap macam tu. And kebetulan pulak Norma tak datang office Mey. So aku sempat edit resume aku malam tu. Time ni aku pikir, Allah memang nak sangat tolong aku this time :)

Wednesday

Pagi tu meeting kat production pukul 9. Memang everday kne gather and Production Manager akan summarize sume problems yang occur within the production. So I think yang involve dengan meeting tu just Quality, Reliability, Software and Equipment Engineers je kot. Then sume orang discuss and try to solve the problems. Tapi kitorang Graduate Trainee berdiri kat situ diam je la. Observe and listen la kot hehehehhe. Agak ternganga2 bile diorang kuarkan term2 baru pastu process yang kitorang tak familiar. It was a great experience, though. Petang tu kul 4 ade meeting dengan boss kitorang, Scott, omputih. Teringat kat Doc V tetibe HAHAA. Kul 5 tu ade lagi satu meeting dengan QA dept tapi Lai Ling cakap takpayah pegi sebab die pon ade something else going on. Die suro aku balik je hehee. Mey sms lagi, "Weh resume ko aku da pass kat Norma (yang hardcopy la) tapi die nak softcopy pulak sebab boss die pegi outstation. Lagi cepat ko send, lagi cepat boss die dapat resume ko. Pc kat office aku hang  pulak damn".

Thursday

Hari ni aku rase tak sehat gile. Badan pun sakit2 *my body in shock sebab keje ke hahah ngeng* Pagi tu macam taknak pegi keje tapi ahhh mengada la baru 4th day, takkan nak MC pulak kan. Pakse diri jugak la. Aku rase food poisoning sebab lunch semalam huhu. Ape aku breakfast, sume muntah balik. Pagi tu da la mengantok gile so aku minum coffee. Lepas lunch tu, about one hour later aku muntah lagi. Aaaaaa rugi je ape aku makan tadi =.=' Alhamdulillah petang tu da ok sikit. Lai Ling suro masuk production, study sendiri and buat tour so that kite tawu ape function every machine kat situ. Well, takde la detail sangat. At least tau the whole process secara briefly. Sebab my role as a Quality Engineer (still a Graduate Trainee) is to do inspections, macam polis yang busy body gituh HAHAA. Ohhh aku da send updated resume kat Norma tu. And die da pass kat boss die. Mey suro aku doa banyak2 dapat post kat Kerteh tu. Memang aku doa la weh. Kalau da memang rezeki aku, Allah bagi la kan? Kalau tak dapat pun, aku redha je. Bukannye aku tak berusaha kan. I tried my best :)

Friday

Tengahari tu aku lunch kat area Masjid Bayan Baru dengan dengan budak2 Intel-Baly, Nabil, Wansyah (today is his last day at Intel huhu), Lina (orang yang paling bersedih huu), Pika and sorang lagi tak kenal hehee. Hari ni sume orang bole balik by 3pm tapi ayah ade meeting pulak. So aku kne tumpang Kak Fana. Balik2 tu umah bukak email, bace emel yang Mey forward. Boss Norma tu kate nak consider resume aku. Tapi die still tunggu resume from other potential candidates dari HR (yang lambat itew) and ex-UTP. Huhuh terasa diri ini kerdil sangat kalau nak dibandingkan dengan mereka2 itu. Dapat ke tak dapat eh? Risau2.

Ok kesimpulannya, aku happy je keje kat Philips Lumileds ni. Kawan2 pon gila2 kot. Sronok sangat. Intan and Shafira, hampa memang best la. Bagi aku gelak everyday keh3. My officemates Kak Siti, Kak Fana, Jasdep, Din and Muhsin. My kawan2 trainees yang baru, Ting and Loges. Thank you everyone! But I have to admit, kalau Petronas offer keje, insyaAllah aku tak tolak kot hehe. It all depends on your luck and rezeki kan. Pray hard! Gambatte!

Kesimpulan kedua (bole pulak), he's my new crush *dengan bangga*

The eyes!!! *melting*

Yes yes I'm happy. Don't worry about me. I'm gonna find someone like you. Eh.

Aku Cemburu, Ya Allah

Assalamualaikum

TUHAN,

Aku cemburu..

Aku cemburu pada perasaanku sendiri..

Aku cemburu pada perasaan mereka pada-Mu..

TUHAN,

 Aku cemburu..

Aku cemburu pada mereka yang sebentar-sebentar teringat pada-Mu..

Aku cemburu pada mereka yang sebentar-sebentar menyebut nama-Mu..

TUHAN,

 Aku cemburu..

Aku cemburu pada mereka yang selalu mendekat kepada-Mu..

Aku cemburu pada mereka yang selalu menjaga cinta kepada-Mu..

TUHAN,

Aku cemburu..

Aku cemburu pada mereka yang santun bicaranya..

Aku cemburu pada mereka yang lembut tingkah lakunya..

Aku cemburu pada mereka yang diam-diam mendoakan saudaranya..

Aku cemburu saat mereka bilang semua itu karena-Mu..

TUHAN,

Aku cemburu..

Aku cemburu karena aku mencintai-Mu, Ya Allah...

One of my friends posted this video on facebook. Terase macam nak ketuk kepala ni kuat2 kat dinding sebab selalu sangat mengadu dan mengeluh. Allah bagi ujian kat semua orang, termasuk orang dalam video ni. Tapi kenapa dia boleh sabar dan tabah? Kenapa kita tak boleh? Kenapa kita cepat sangat putus asa?

Europe Trip:Paris,We Love You! (Day 2)

Assalamualaikum

{mode : tenang + still eksaited}

Sambungan dari (sini).

Friday, December 24, 2010

Haip haip. Bangun tido dengan bersemangat!! Walaupun sedap berselimutkan comforter tebal, tetap ku celikkan mata ni. Sanggup ku redah angin yang kuat dengan keazaman yang kuat. Yeah! So kitorang mulakan langkah keluar dari hotel dengan harapan tak kena marah lagi pasni. Bagi senyuman yang paling comel kat owner hotel. Konon nye lah! 

Kitorang bergerak ke Pont Des Arts (Bridges of Art). I read over the internet that hundreds of padlocks (love note written on them) have been affixed to the bridge and the key was thrown into the river. Some people like to express how much they value each other that way. Tapi emm tak perasan la pulak padlocks tu sume (ok da perasan lepas tengok video ni balik). Maybe sebab kitorang busy amek gamba. OR maybe, it was just the guys. =.='

Models yang segak bergaya. *mata ke atas*

We stayed there for about 15 minutes, enjoying the weather and beautiful scenery. We then headed to Musée du Louvre (Museum of Louvre). From the internet, it says "The entry costs to all exhibits are nowadays about €9. It should also be noted that entry is free for anyone below the age of 18 or disabled and European students below 26". Wah ade free admission! (unfortunately not for us sob sob). So sape2 yang study anywhere in Europe, you can just show your student card and you're good to go hehhe. Klau camtu everyday pon bole masuk museum. If sebut pasal museum, mesti orang cakap bosan kan? Well, you better believe me!! Sometimes museum can be an interesting place to visit. And fun too! Especially this one. You know why? Check the photos out. Oh and the videos too! Sorry kitorang merepek2 cam biase HAHA :p

This photo was taken after we finished out day trip to the museum. Just to show you the pyramid-looking thing at the back. It was Louvre glass pyramid, completed in 1989 (it was built later than the museum). Tempat masuk museum ni kat bawah pyramid tu. And yes, it is an underground museum. Cool, isn't it?

This is what I'm talking about. Inside the pyramid. Wajib bergambar duluuuu~

And do you know why Louvre Museum is so famous? In fact, it's one of the largest art museum. Siyes besar gile! One day is not enough kalau nak explore all those paintings, architecture and archeology stuff. Most of the paintings sume besar2, and there were a lot of em'! And one of them is Mona Lisa potrait, painted by Leonardo da Vincci. Yang original punye, bukan ciplak2 teeheee.

Ramai sangat orang time ni, couldn't get a clear view.

My friend amekkan. Thanks Syera! (hahah paham ke der?)

Ok. Time tu tetibe ade ramai Japanese tourists datang pulak. And well, you know, Bell and me adalah kipas-susah-mati orang2 bermata sepet (hahah malulah buat pengakuan macam ni! lol). Kitorang mule2 datang tu khusyuk je tengok paintings sume then mata tetibe focus kat those Japanese pulak.

Nampak sangat motif nye! :p

Video ni aku amek mase kat hallway yang penuh dengan paintings yang besar2. Time ni Adil tengah cakap pasal orang Korea. Ape tah die membebel HAHA.Tak perasan langsung kitorang record.

Banyak lagi gamba paintings yang aku amek tapi tak larat nak upload da heheh. Here are some of them. My model hari tu adalah Salman a.k.a Mey.

Kalau tengok betul2, all those paintings nampak real and sangat2 detail. Tapi kitorang takde la tengok sume. In fact, ade yang tak sempat baca info pon sebab banyak section lagi kitorang nak pegi. Tapi ade sorang yang bersemangat waja. Siapekahhh?

Tada! Kalau boleh nak masuk sekali dalam lukisan tu. HAHA!

Sume muka tak bersalah. Yang bersalah adalah tugu tersebut. Ish ish.

Bell yang da penat menunggu.

Ok ok I'm coming.

From right : Socrates, Aristotle, Plato and whooooo?

Haih penat tunggu Syera ngan Adil ni =.='

Takde snow pon tapi agak windy.

Nampak tak ketidakmatangan di situ? Hahha ade kitorang kesah?

Sekitar Louvre Museum. Favorite family photo #1

Asek korang je bergambo. Kasi can aku pulak.

Keep on walking! Favorite family photo #2

So kitorang bergerak menuju our next destination, Notre-Dame, which means Our Lady. Ingat tak cite Hunchback tu? Haa setting die kat tempat ni la (aku tak tengok pon cite tu HAHA).

I think ni exit tempat parking. Sebelah Notre-Dame.

Enjoy the video and the view! Heheh macam kat London pulak ade merpati bagai. Mey dok ulang2 cakap merci beaucoup (thank you very much) sebab itu je word yang kitorang tau mase kat Paris ni HAHA! And lepas2 tu die perli owner hotel yang marah2 kitorang semalam. :p

Notre-Dame is actually a cathedral (church) and a place of worship. Actually church tu memang open for public pon. Kitorang tengok ramai je orang kuar masuk. Cantik kan building dia?

Excuse the boys.

The girls yang sopan. Aha! Favorite family photo #3

Orait pastu hari pon da gelap. Kitorang bergerak ke Basilique du Sacré-Cœur (wah berbelit nak sebut neh!), which means Basilica of the Sacred Heart. According to Mr Google, basilica is 'a large oblong hall or building with double colonnades and a semicircular apse, used in ancient Rome as a court of law or for public assemblies'. Tapi ni Paris-wise punye basilica hehe. And building tu acts as church jugak. Actually banyak je church and historical building yang ade kat Paris ni. Pegi mane2 in Paris pon mesti jumpe attractions. Memang cantik betul :)

Rase tenang tetibe :')

Ok ni video aku tengah lumba naik tangga sorang2 lepas tu tercungap-cungap kepenatan. HAHA. Nak bawak korang tengok bandar from the top.

The sign says, Rue du (Road of) Cardinal Dubois

Basilica of the Sacred Heart, Paris

The view at night :')

Heh. Terharu, terharu jugak. Tapi lepas kitorang turun tangga (on the other side), ada 3,4 orang (macam African) tengah tunggu nak pakaikan kitorang gelang tangan. Alaa kat Malaysia pon ade, macam gelang Sabah tu. Bell sorang je yang dapat lari dari diorang. Cis3. Mase orang tu pakaikan gelang kat aku, dia bebel2, "Is this your husband (refer to Adil)? Wear this. You're gonna get a good daughter". Whatttaaaa? Ergh tak kuasa nya nak melayan. Tapi kang dia kuarkan pisau pulak. So terpaksa dengar tak dengar je la (muke memang tak ikhlas habes). Rupe2nye diorang nak mintak duit (tapi peras ugut punya style). Kalau tak, diorang tak lepaskan kitorang. Scary gile. So kalau sape2 nak jalan kat area2 situ, be careful ye? Aaaaaaa rugi 2 euro aku (lebih kurang 8 hengget). Mahal kan? Bukan cantik pon gelang tuuuu :((

Anywayyyy, after a tiring walk, we treated ourself with Arab food. Dua pinggan besar nasi+ayam kongsi lima orang. Yeahhhh bahagia bahagia!

Lapa gilos

And so, the moment we've been waiting for. Mula2, rase nak balik hotel je sebab perut da kenyang and we felt kinda sleepy. Tapi rase menyesal pulak kalau tak pergi. Our last spot and the reason why people datang Paris; Eiffel Tower !!! Ngehngehngeh *muka bercahaya*. At first, nak pegi esok pagi je tapi nanti tak dapat pulak tengok Eiffel Tower at night. Sebab esok petang da nak bertolak ke Madrid. So we decided to visit Eiffel Tower both tonight and tomorrow morning. HAHAHAH nampak tak ketamakan melanda?

Sejuk oh malam tu. Dengan berangin siap. But we're so fascinated by the lights from that tower. Haha tak kire ape dah. It was a beautiful night :)

Cantiknyeee *pengsan pengsan*

Favorite photo of all times. Eh #4 :p

And that's how we ended our day, and it was a good day. Life is great. Thank you Allah :')

You Want A Divorce? Fine But..

Assalamualaikum

[shared]

Married or not you should read this. I'm not sure I'm being emotional or what. But it touched my heart in so many ways. I feel sad reading it but I'm really glad for the lady (if this is a true story) :')

*****************************************

When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, "I’ve got something to tell you". She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.

Suddenly I didn’t know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn’t seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, "why?".

I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, "you are not a man!". That night, we didn’t talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Jane. I didn’t love her anymore. I just pitied her!

With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Jane so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.

The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn’t have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Jane. When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over and was asleep again.

In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn’t want anything from me, but needed a month’s notice before the divorce. She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a month’s time and she didn’t want to disrupt him with our broken marriage.

This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day. She requested that every day for the month’s duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning. I thought she was going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request.

I told Jane about my wife’s divorce conditions. She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully.

My wife and I hadn’t had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, "daddy is holding mommy in his arms". His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; "don’t tell our son about the divorce". I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office.

On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn’t looked at this woman carefully for a long time. I realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I had done to her.

On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me. On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn’t tell Jane about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger.

She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily.

Suddenly it hit me… she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.

Our son came in at the moment and said, "Dad, it’s time to carry mom out". To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly; it was just like our wedding day.

But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn’t noticed that our life lacked intimacy. I drove to office…. jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind…I walked upstairs. Jane opened the door and I said to her, "Sorry, Jane, I do not want the divorce anymore".

She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my forehead. "Sorry, Jane", I said, "I won’t divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn’t value the details of our lives, not because we didn’t love each other anymore. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart". Jane seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away. At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote, "I’ll carry you out every morning until death do us apart".

That evening I arrived home, flowers in my hands, a smile on my face, I run up stairs, only to find my wife in the bed -dead. My wife had been fighting CANCER for months and I was so busy with Jane to even notice. She knew that she would die soon and she wanted to save me from the whatever negative reaction from our son, in case we push through with the divorce.— At least, in the eyes of our son—- I’m a loving husband….

The small details of your lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the bank. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves.

So find time to be your spouse’s friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!

If you don’t share this, nothing will happen to you.

If you do, you just might save a marriage. Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

...and have you ever wonder why people can put up with each other for many years?? I mean, they love each other so much that they can't imagine living without that one person. Yes, that special one. Spread the love peeps! :)

Mungkin Manusia Itu Silap

Assalamualaikum

Maybe she was looking in all the wrong places. After all, he was just a dunya guy, he would give her the happiness of the dunya for just a few day, weeks, months maybe and then they would never be the ‘happily ever after couple’ like Muhammad sallallahu alyhe wa sallam and Khadijah radi Allah hu Anha.

For she realized that a bond made for the sake of the dunya lacked the basic crucial ingredient: the barakah of Allah. If she started a relationship which wasn’t blessed by Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala, she would ruin her entire life for the man who looked so charming but whose heart was attached to the dunya.

She was concerned about her future progeny and she decided that she didn’t want to raise up her future children oblivious and ignorant of Islam. She decided that she’d look at his deen, his character and his ikhlaq, for if those qualities in him were well grounded, he would turn into the greatest blessing of her life - her better half.

With all the traffic of thoughts in her mind, she came across a verse in the Quran which lay open in her hands and the verse she saw made her cry and she made sincere dua from her heart and decided that she wanted her better half to be someone who would hold her hand, help bring the Sunnah and Shariah in her life, take her out for ice-cream, help solve all her problems and when he couldnt he would be just a good listener and also he would take her to jannah. The verse she read was:

One of His signs is that He created for you spouses of your own species, so that you might find comfort with them. And He put mutual love and affection in your hearts. Surely in this there are lessons for the thinking people.” [30:21]
