David Choi - Won't Even Start - Official Video



What happened after last summer
When we broke up in September

I haven't seen you
Feels like a long time
Sometimes it still hurts
But I always get by

I still got a piece of you under my skin
It's always there no matter where I've been

BRIDGE:
So if I ever see you on the street
I'll pretend that I didn't see
And turn my face
No use in small talk anyways

CHORUS:
Because if I look into your eyes
Then I'll have to say goodbye
And that'll break my heart
So I won't even start
No, I won't even start

I wish you luck
And I wish it true
That's the best
I can do for you

'Cause you'll probably find love
In someone new
I have to let go
Yeah, it's hard to do

So if I run into you with your arm by his side
Just know it'll cut me like a knife

BRIDGE:
So if I ever see you on the street
I'll pretend that I didn't see
And turn my face
No use in small talk anyways

CHORUS:
Because if I look into your eyes
Then I'll have to say goodbye
And that'll break my heart
So I won't even start
No, I won't even start

I'll be okay
I'll be okay- That's what I'll Say

BRIDGE:
So if I ever see you on the street
I'll pretend that I didn't see
And turn my face
No use in small talk anyways

CHORUS:
Because if I look into your eyes
Then I'll have to say goodbye
And that'll break my heart
So I won't even start
No, I won't even start
No, I wont even start

berpura pura itu dusta?

day 98.

is a day i decided to embrace my language.and today i realised.a person can change physically and the humans' eyes can be fooled easily.but God is not a fool.so for what we show physically,His eyes see what we actually are,emotionally.so here.for a quiet 2nd day of Ramadhan,malay words accompanied my keyboard....

apa yang diperlakukan oleh seorang manusia.
cukuplah Allah yang melihatnya.
dusta itu satu dosa.
namun lebih dosa jika dusta dibelakang nama.
atas nama Allah kita berpura-pura.

manusia itu tidak lebih dari seorang hamba.
jadi kenapa perlu lebih kan dunia?
manusia itu senang lupa.
jadi kenapa perlu berbangga?

apa yang ada bukan milik kita.
apa yang ada pinjaman semata.
jadi besihkan anggota dari bersangka.
bahawa dunia untuk selamanya.

manusia.
jangan diikut keinginin sentiasa.
sebab apa yang perlu lebih bermakna.
hanya yang perlu,perlu dibawa.

jadi doa pada Dia.
jadikan diri ini bukan pendusta.
dan bukan pencinta dunia.
yang berpura pura beragama.
sedangkan hati masih hina.

sungguh.
campak tepi segala dunia.
jauh jauh dari pandangan mata.
sebab sungguh
syurga neraka itu ada.
buat pilihan yang nyata sementara adanya masa.

and finally may God protect us from being in the lowest state of a servant.
a disobey servant.
selamat berbuka to all :)

extend it.or lessen it.up to you.

day 97.

is the first day of Ramadhan.
and without actually realising it i received a gift from God today.
a gift of Ramadhan.....

so today.for the first day of Ramadhan.and for the first time.
Ramadhan meant more than
just 30 days of fasting.

it is actually.
30 days of gift.
and if it is a gift.what do you do with it?...
you appreciate it.
and make most out of it.
simply because.you might not get the same gift again for the next years to come.

so today i learnt,we humans can never extend nor lessen that 30 days like how we want it to.
but we can extend the benefit of that 30 days or we could lessen it.
by our intentions and by our actions.during that period we received.
so extend it with beneficial deeds and lesson it not with wasteful sins.

to all.may you enjoy your 29 1/2 of gift from God.
after all.it is a gift.and it is from God.what more could you ask for? :)

D'Masiv - Sudahi Perih ini (Lirik)

a dialogue

middle of day 96.

and because its Friday.i decided to write again.

as i was browsing through facebook i found a very interesting dialogue.



and it triggered me.all these whilst.we humans tend to expand our views too much to the extend we became blinded by what is actually in front of us.
yes.its undeniably true that it is our nature to be attracted to everything that is considered nice.things that conform our justification of what beauty is in this world.
but so much so,this nature of wanting more has become the thing that have covered our views.in finding what we actually need.instead of what we actually want.

and this dialogue is just an example of how humans really are.
the first person justified his wants.
when actually what he needs are only two things.

a realisation that he too has not become the person he expects from his partner.
and a feeling of gratefulness because what he has at that moment is a good partner who chose him for who he is.

so i figured if we only aim for what we want in life.we might miss out on the things that we actually need.
and in this case.the guy wants perfection from a girl that he would date.but what he actually needs is a girl who appreciates him for his imperfection.

so today i learnt.that we have no right in this world to justify what is perfection and what is not.because we have not seen the real perfection yet.the perfection of God,Himself.

so stop wanting pseudo perfection of the world.because the thing that is true is when you know how to differentiate the things you want and the things you need.in life.and from there you shall slowly grasp the beauty of it. :)

even a little.it is still sharing.

day 96.

is a dark rainy day.and i have a sudden urge to wake up for no reason.
after a long tiring day of yesterday.i realised i may be amongst the 7 billion that is lucky.
for the simplest reasons.

i have a roof over my head.
i have a comfy bed to lie on.
i have food to feed myself.
i have clothes to cover me.
i have water to clean myself.
i have people to love and to love me back.
i have complete physique to live life.

and most important is...

I have a God.to give me all that.

and after a long walk yesterday.i find myself more lucky than i ever was.because.
there are people out there who doesn't have..

a roof over their heads.
a comfy bed for them to lie on.
food to feed themselves.
clothes to cover themselves.
water to clean themselves.
people to love and love them back.
complete physique to live their lives.

and most important is....

a God like mine to believe in to....

and after all that.there is one thing that could connect having and not having.and that one thing is..
sharing........
and that is why amongst 7 billion.they are people that can be considered lucky and there are people otherwise.and this happens just for one reason.so that for the lucky people.they would know how to share it.and for that opposite they would know how to appreciate it.

and that is why.my God is great.because He gives variation a chance in this world.the variation between lucky and the opposite.and now it depends on us.how to share that luck we're given.and for those who doesn't have it.He gives chance for them to know how to appreciate it.

so yesterday taught me really well what sharing really means.
because what ever we have.we don't own it ultimately.so why possess it as if its ours.
instead share it.as if it means nothing.
because what we have now.is world.and it means nothing if its not carried with good deeds.
and sharing is a good deed indeed.

so next time when you feel lucky.

share your roof.
share your bed.
share your food.
share your clothes.
share your water.
share your love.
share your physical strength..
and...
share your God..

because.a good human.is a human who knows how to share.
and that is a reminder to myself.so that when my luck runs out one day...somebody that is lucky might want to share it with me.




have a Friday day full of sharing people. :)

and the Prophet says...

Bukhari :: Book 1 :: Volume 2 :: Hadith 32
Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "The signs of a hypocrite (munafiq) are three:

1. Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie.

2. Whenever he promises, he always breaks it (his promise ).

3. If you trust him, he proves to be dishonest. (If you keep something as a trust with him, he will not return it.)"


may Allah protect us from these characters.for it will only bring harm to us and others.
and this i remind to myself everyday.because i am a human and i slipped from time to time.

so today.let this hadith be a reminder to us.for sometimes we didn't even realise that we are what the hadith says.

do we pray.or do we really pray?

day 95.

was an early day.
and as I detached myself from a deep passion towards a deep slumber.
one word appeared.PRAY.

and from there.a question is questioned.

what is actually pray?
we see.we know..that.
some people do it.
some people don't.
and some.do and don't at the same time.

but what does it really mean?
to pray.

shamefully i admit i used to be amongst those who takes only the actions of praying.but not its essence.
and unfortunate of me to have moved my limbs as only a symbol of norm.

that 5 times of actions that we do in a day was treated nothing more than just a custom to a religion.
so among 7 billion people and 3 billion that are Muslims.how many actually really pray?
and from there.where do i stand?

the feeling of unsatisfactory towards how i used to define PRAY.
ignited the curiosity in me.

and so.to redefine PRAY became a mission.
hence.the redefinition begins...

so........................
what is pray?

an escapism from the reality of the world and to the realm of worship?
or.
actions that bring benefits to oneself when nothing else matters?
or.
a way of trying to show a believe in something.something that is God?
or.
a relationship between the worship and the worshipers through the act of physical and emotion?
or.
is it just.a moment in a day.to realise.we do turn to one thing.and that One thing.is God.

so amongst all of that which one is it? and to which point do we consider a pray is a good pray?
because honestly.up until today.from the point i learnt how to pray to my God since i was a child.i have not fully grasped the whole package of praying.i may know the moves well.and i may memorised the words well.but there is always a moment even a split second where my mind slipped and the world became everything again.
so i wonder,how is it possible to tell God.later.
'hey God.i've prayed.and that is my deed in the world' when i know i wasn't praying.i was just moving my limbs.and saying out the words i've memorised.

and from there.i began to wonder.there must be something more to pray rather than just moving our limbs and sacrificing that 5 minutes for 5 times in a day of our lives.there must be.because my God is so special.and everything that we do that involves Him.must be special too.it must.

and i realised.that 5 minutes i took.was not just a moment in life that i took for God to see me worshiping Him.but that 5 minutes i took,was me giving a chance to myself to meet God and saying things to Him in a very special manner.and i thought,if this is a thing i do for myself.a chance that i give to myself.then why don't i make it more then just physical movements? after all isn't it a special thing to get the chance to talk to God?
because everyone can talk to God.but not all 7 billion get the chance to learn and to practice that special manner of talking to God.

and through that.i began to understand that,those moves i learnt.those words i memorised and those times that i took.were more than just moves,words and time.because.

only for that moves.my God will know.that i submit to the fact that these limbs i have.are His.and when i move it.i move it for Him.

only for that words.my God will know.that i can memorise it because He allows me to.and when i speak it out.i'm speaking to Him.

only for that times.my God will know.that i am thankful that He is landing me His time.and when i take that time.i am actually returning it back.to the owner.Him.

so when i pray.i don't just take the time to move and talk.
i was returning the time i've borrowed from Him.moving my limbs that He gave for Him and talking to Him like He is as near as a whisper away.
because.that is what praying is.
so now i know.if i'm borrowing His time.then i must treat it well.and return it like how He has given it to me.in such perfection.
so now i know.if i'm using the things that are not mine to own.my limbs.then i must use it well.so that He knows.that i know.these are not mine.
and
so now i know.if i'm saying those words to Him.a conversation between a servant and a God.then i must say it well.because this is not a regular conversation.this is a special one.

so after all that......
yes.
praying is an escapism from the reality world to the realm of worship.
so next time when you escape.escape fully from the temporary world.and worship completely.to the one that owns the world.

yes.
praying are actions that bring benefits to oneself when nothing else matters.
so next time when you pray.aware that what you do for that moment is for you only.because you are praying to the most Beneficent of all.and He gives benefits to those who prays.

yes.
praying is a way of trying to show a believe in something.something that is God.
so next time when you believe.believe it with your heart.not just your words.because He knows.

yes.
praying is a relationship between the worship and the worshipers through the act of physical and emotion.
so next time when you worship.include both.because your God is just.so act justly to what you're borrowing.

and yes.
praying is a moment in a day.to realise.we do turn to one thing.and that One thing.is God.
so next time when you turn to Him.turn entirely.because He is so great.He listens to all.

and in spite of all that.knowing that.understanding that.why do we yet find it hard to pray?
and why when we do.we still don't?

so the question is now.
do we pray.or do we really pray?

may everyone and including me take that 5 times of today.to pray.
to actually....... really pray.
happy Saturday to all :)

The Pipettes - I Love You

to someone new.somewhere.out there. :)

5 questions of life.

day 94.

is a week without inspiration.
almost like a floating kite in the air traveling without direction.
the air is life.and the kite is me.

many things have changed.but still.everything feels just the same.

what is lost has been found.and what is found has been lost.
and from there.i am back to where i was.

and life is not merely something you can grasp with your physicals.
but it must also be experienced by your emotions.
so to know what i have found and what i have lost.i must experience it first.
and no one did say.experiencing what we don't know is easy.

so from there.day 94 feels almost the same like day 1.
therefore today,i decided to redefine everything again....
redefine life.....again.simply with questions and answers.

and the re-definition starts with.

question 1.
what is life?
if it was day 1.i would say.
life is a chance.
a chance to live.

but if it is not day 1.i would say.
life is a gift.
a gift from God.

question 2.
how to live a life?
if it was day 1.i would say.
live the way you want to live it.to the fullest.

but if it is not day 1.i would say.
live the way God would want you to live it.to the most beneficial.

question 3.
when does life begin?
if it was day 1.i would say.
it begins the minute you appreciate the world more than anything.

but if it is not day 1.i would say.
it begins the minute you appreciate God.more than anything.

question 4.
how does a life end?
if it was day 1.i would say.
it ends with memories that you,yourself made.bad or good.

but if it is not day 1.i would say.
it ends with only one reason.a reason to end it as a servant.a good servant.to only one God.

question 5.
where does a life lead to?
if it was day 1.i would say.
a life is leaded by the one who owns it.and we humans decide where we lead it to.

but if it is not day 1.i would say.
a life leads only to one direction.to meet a God.and to be with a God.in a state of one's clean self.

so.for a moment of day 94.i almost answered those questions i asked like how i would answer on day 1.
but this time.many things feel the same.but everything has just changed.

at the end,one thing i realised,what makes day 94 different from day 1.inspite of it feeling the same.is that.
i may have answered day 94 and day 1.the same.but for day 94.i have a different reason behind each answer.
and behind every answer.i have a faith.and behind all that.is a faith towards a God.

so to question 1.
if we treat life as a chance.we tend to abuse that chance.because chance can come countless of times in so many ways.
but if we treat it as a gift.we tend to value it.because a particular gift is not something you can get countless of times in what so ever way.

so to question 2.
if we live life the way we want it to the fullest.it does not mean.we have grasp perfect happiness.because humans are far from being perfect themselves.so how is it possible for them to produce such perfect happiness.
but if we live life the way God wants it,to the most beneficial.then only the Most Beneficient of all.God.Can give the most perfect benefits from all.

so to question 3.
if we begin life with the appreciation towards the world and nothing more.then we will miss out what the hereafter has to offer.
but if we begin life with the appreciation towards God.and only God.then He will offer the world and the hereafter for us to experience the bliss to it all.

so to question 4.
if we end life with just memories.then we are among those who sits and looks at blessedness but never get to experience it.because all we have are just memories.and nothing more.
but if we end life with a reason.to be the best servant to a God.then we are among those who sits.looks.and experiences His blessedness.up until the end.

so to question 5.
if we let ourselves lead this life towards the worldly purposes.then we open it to the path full of flaws.simply because the world is filled with mistakes.
but if we lead it to one ending.with God in the journey and God as the ending.then we open it to the path full of perfection.simply because,God does not make mistakes.

so to the lost reason of life that i have found.and to the found mistakes of life that i have lost.
may the days ahead be clearer than the days before.
and i pray the same for all of you.
Amin.

between the heart.and the body.

day 93.
are letters of the heart and the body.

Dear heart,

answer my questions.for what i have now are only questions.and nothing more.

to dear heart,
where have you gone to?
have you lost your way.
because lately i feel you not.

to dear heart,
why are you so empty?
have you nothing to fill it with.
because lately i sense that you are lonely.

to dear heart,
how have you been feeling?
have you left everything.
because lately i feel nothing.

and.

to dear heart,
when will you beat again?
have you forgotten how to.
because lately without you.what is a body?

sincerely,
the body that moves.

the heart replied.

Dear body,

to your questions.I answer.and nothing less.

to dear body,
i am here.but lost.
only because.i lost God's only map.
i lost the words of Quran.

to dear body,
yes.i am empty.
only because.i drain myself from one thing that matters to God.
i drained my faith.

to dear body,
i am unwell.
only because.i left my only healer.
i left my God.

to dear body,
i have stopped beating.
only because.i was beating for the wrong reason.
for the world.and only the world.

sincerely,
the heart that feels.

and today my heart and my body taught me.
to not be lost.keep Quran as the map.
to not be lonely.keep faith as my company.
to not be unwell.keep God as the Healer.
and to not be dead.keep the world as just a world.and nothing more.

to all.may your hearts do not feel lost.lonely.unwell.and dead.

a burning.a path.and a friend.

day 92.

memories burnt.
an open wide path.
and a good friend that remains as a friend.

and after many days of not knowing how to write without including heartache in every word that came out.finally.i think its about time i start to reevaluate my purpose and not dwell in sorrows.because nothing is ever permanent and perfect in this world.and sorrow is too.
so to sorrow that came.you are not permanent.nor are you perfect.so be gone.for you are not any where near to have the perfect invisibility.
so for Tuesday.i detached myself with what is left of the materialistic memories.and at the end of it.words of a true friend became a true admonition to this dear self.

'you,and only you can let it go.for whatever is left inside'

so ask not the world to change.ask yourself to change first.

so from there,in the middle of burning memories and watching it turning to ashes.for what was once just a particle became a particle again.and as the flame grew bigger,i began burning everything that is left inside this flesh.covered by these ribs.sealed by this skin.
of mine.
too.

and at the end of a Tuesday.

memories burnt.
a path is opened wide
and a remaining good friend stood by.

simply because.
those things i burnt.may actually be the thing that would rescue me from the real burning of God.the burning of hell.
simply because.
that opened path.i took.may actually be the path that brings me to the one side that matters.the side of God.
and simply because.
the good friend that remained.i keep.may actually be the one that will put a smile to a face here.and the hereafter.

so to a cleansing Tuesday.bring along those burnt memories together with you.for i promise.there will never be this sort of Tuesday again.
to all.burn what is needed before you forget that there is hell.
to all.walk the right path before you lose your track to the heaven.
and to all.keep close a good company before Satan becomes the only company you have.

a sign of an ending.

day 91.

is a really tough day.
a friend is lost for good.and a surprise was received.

a black neo that drove beside me today made this heart stopped for a moment.
and what i saw is something that i wished i never did.
but hey,God surprises us in so many ways.
and mine is today.

today a black neo that passed by with a stranger i once knew.became a surprise that shall be the sign.
and this time.God is indeed with me.and i should tell myself...what more sign do you seek for?
isn't what is shown enough?and today.a decision is finally made.

a final decision that now i knew.i shall close my heart forever.for this stranger i once knew.
simply because.he will never change.even a little.

so today i learnt.if you pray hard enough for a sign.
God is there to fulfill it.and so happen.mine was today.

and now finally.i have a decision.
and may this be the right one.

so to a Monday that came.may this be the start of something new. :)

Sunday, July 10, 2011

decision.

day 90.

is 10 more days before day 100.

and a decision need to be made.and i'm lost in between.
a stranger that i never knew or a stranger that i knew.

which ever it is.they remain as strangers.
and making a life decision is not easy.
but a stranger i knew made it easy by showing the true colour.
and that colour i saw shall not make my day a colourful day ahead.

so a decision need to be made.and i am still not asleep because of that.
and how i wish.life is as easy as riding a bike.
but then again.is riding a bike easy?
now.that i need to know.

so for Sunday that came quite early.i wish i will get some sort of sign.though i know i deserve it not.but hey God surprises you in so many ways.and maybe mine is today :)

war

day 89.

is a day at home.
with nothing else to do but feeling glad that i still have a roof over my head and i can call it home.

yesterday was fun.a chance to be with an old good friend is a blessed.
and in spite of all the differences that we had.one thing remained.we are still friends :)

today as i woke up.i realised that everyone is at war.
yes.WAR.

6 billion people is at war.
a very important war.
a really hard war to win.
a long war indeed.

and this time.
its not a war between humans.
its not a war between extraterrestials.
its not a war between animals.
it is simply.

a war with oneself.

a war of trying to fight the silent transgression of ourselves.
a war of trying to coupe with the never ending ungratefulness of us.
a war of trying to resist the temptation that the world has to serve.
a war of trying to defend the true reason behind our existence.a servant of God.
a war of trying to understand that the world is for us to borrow not to own.
and a war of trying to be a human and nothing more.

and yes.we are at war.everyday.every second.of our being.and some of us.may not even realise it.
but what confused me is that.in spite of a great war that we face for each time we open our eyes,why do we yet seek for other wars to battle in?
isn't a war with ourselves enough for us to battle?
have we already won the nature of transgression,ungratefulness,temptation,false understanding in ourselves that we search for other wars to fight in?
have we fought hard enough with our own war until we have time to create other wars?

so.today.i learnt.that each and everyone of us is at war.a war that is actually worth battling in.a war that is actually worth in the eyes of God.
a war of trying to be a good servant that we should have.
a war of trying to defend our pure souls against the worldly lusts.
a war of trying to digest well that this world is just a pit stop.and nothing more.

so.today.i figured.if we really fight well in this war.we would not even have time to create other wars then what is already within us.
because sometimes.what we need to fight is really something from within.not just what is on the surface.
so lets start winning the war in ourselves first instead of looking of what sort of war that the outside has to offer.
simply because.you are your own self nation.
and if you win your heart,your mind,and your limbs.you are the ruler of your future.

"Jar of Hearts" - Christina Perri (Sam Tsui Cover)

and sometimes i use song like this to say what need to be said.because i will be fine afterall.



I know I can't take one more step towards you
Cause all that's waiting is regret
And don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore?
You lost the love I loved the most

I learned to live, half-alive
And now you want me one more time

And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart

You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?

I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms

I've learned to live, half-alive
Now you want me one more time

Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart

You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?

Dear, it took so long
Just to feel alright
Remember how to put back
The light in my eyes

I wish I had missed
The first time that we kissed
'Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back you don't get to get me back

Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart

You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Don't come back at all

And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart

You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all

Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

my eyes or His?

day 88.

is a day yet i get to live.

an exploration with good friends was done today.and suddenly i feel i am still apart of the city.and i will not trade that for anything.

and a phone call received yesterday's night was not pleasing to the mind nor the heart.
and a closure that is needed is again not achieved.and i am still in the maze of life.

but somehow.not a single tear was dropped though the condition did ask for it.
i am getting stronger bit by bit after all.or maybe i am just getting tired bit by bit.

and these past few days.i feel so far away from God.again.
and i miss Him.i truly do.
and a mistake was done today.
because a wrong question was asked.

where are you God?i asked.

and after awhile a mistake was conceived.
and the shadow of guiltiness covers the arrogance that begins to seep in slowly.

and in a split moment.
a friend's advice crossed my mind.

'God does not leave us.we leave God'.

and ashamed for a moment i was.how could i even think to ask as such.when it is actually me who doesn't know where i truly am in His eyes.

and not Him in my eyes.

and so.today.i feel bad.for having a wrong question to ask.and not having the right answer to give.
simply because.i know not where i stand.
a stand of only a servant.and nothing more.

so dear heart,fix yourself.because you are the only thing i have to show to God when nothing else matters.
may everyone had a better question for a Wednesday that is ending soon.

hey,i am glad :)

day 87.

is a late quite Tuesday morning.

and yesterday was fun.being surrounded with friends gave me a lot more reason that there are still good things left on this earth.
:)

and moving on is now in the list of a neb.and i shall work hard this time because i have not only family and friends behind me,i have God now.and i believe everything happens for a reason.and this time i can see it.and after many words trying to explain that we should be grateful in my last post.i should this time really actually be grateful.because my past shaped my present and determined my future.

and a walk in the mall yesterday made me realise how people take things so lightly.like it matters not.like how i used to be.
and i thought,

Hey,i am glad you left.
Hey,i am glad i was cheated on.
Hey,i am glad i was sad.
Hey,i am glad i took time to heal.
and Hey i am glad you are what you are.

because if it weren't for that.i would still be walking around with sins in the mall.

holding the hand of a guy whom i am not married to.
being in false love with a guy i might no be in love with.
having to bare my skin for a show to a stranger that thinks it should be done.
and having to put my loyalty to a person who is just a servant to a God.

so hey.a walk in the mall helped me to move on to the next level of being grateful.
being grateful that my God gave me pain so that He could protect me.
because after all He is the only Healer and the only Protector.

the one that heals a false love to a veracious one.
and the one that protects a veracious love from the false one

so to lovely Tuesday.lets move towards that road of healing and protecting shall we?

great fullness.

day 86.

is a week ahead.being away made me realise home is where i want to be at.

and a trip to a country reminded me.
that being greatful is the key to enjoy what we have and not be bitter over what we don't.

so through out the journey only one word accompanied me all the way to the ending.
'ungrateful'

yes.ungrateful.that is what we are.silently without us even knowing it.we carry that word without feeling the heavy weight of its consequences.
we carry it as if it is as light as a single feather.
and we parade it as if it worth more than a diamond ring.

a week of journey sadden me,because all i saw was poverty.and nothing more.
but what sadden me even more.is not poverty itself.it is knowing that between poverty we seek wealth and between wealth we seek more.
and at the end.we appreciate not what we get and we long more for what we will never get.
along the journey,i was served with the view of scarcity of life through the windows of the bus that drove along a stretch of line that we can't barely call road.
and one thing came into mind.
i am lucky.
simply because

even though my country...
may not be the world leading nation,
may not have the best government,
may not have the smartest ruler,
may not provide the best health care,
and may not give the best education.

i can still experience a decent stretch of line that i can call road.
and that made me feel lucky.just a stretch of road.

and i realised too,with all the complaints that we give and all the dissatisfaction that we pore with anger.we take not time.to remember what we still have and take a moment to simply say.
Alhamdullilah.

Alhamdullilah.even though we are not a world leading nation.we are still indeed a nation.
and because of that we can still join our hearts to make it even a better one.

Alhamdullilah.even though we may not have the greatest government.we still have a government that cares.but unfortunate of us to not see it because we are too busy being ungrateful almost all the time.

Alhamdullilah.even though we are not blessed with the smartest ruler.we are still given the time to know that the only ruler is One.and He is God.

Alhamdullilah.even though we are not provided with the best health care.we still have God to rely on to.after all isn't He the only One that can remove sickness and befalls it?

and Alhamdullilah.even though we do not have the best education.we still have our brains to differentiate what is right and what is wrong..or maybe we can't any longer?

so with a journey ended.another journey begins.a journey to be a grateful oneself.and to realise.
hey.even when everything is gone.there is still one that will remain.God.

so to everyone.lets start this journey of being grateful because after all it leads to great fullness isn't it? :)
