Ya Rabb! tenangkanlah hati hambaMU…

semakin jauhku dariMU… semakin dekat pula KAU menghampiri daku

Oh Tuhan yg Maha Pengasih… siapalah diriku di pandanganMU…

semakin cuba ku dekati… semakin kuat pula KAU mendugai aku…

Oh Tuhan yg Maha Sempurna… kerdilnya diriku di hadapanMU…

Ya Allah… malunya seorang hamba…

Ya Allah…

HambaMu ini malu Ya Allah kerana bisa jatuh cinta kepada makhlukMu sedangkan dia itu juga milikMu, di dalam kekuasaanMu dan tidak akan bisa kekal sepertiMu. Engkau sentiasa kekal Ya Allah. Begitu juga cintaMu sedangkan cinta makhluk itu bisa sahaja hilang dibawa zaman. Jadikanlah perasaan cintaku ini kepadanya semata-mata untukMu dan keranaMu Ya Allah. Semoga perasaan cintaku kepadanya yang Engkau tanamkan di dalam hatiku adalah untuk mendekatkanku kepadaMu Ya Allah. Walaupun berjauhan dan sentiasa terpisah tetapi ianya adalah keranaMu Ya Allah. Apabila Engkau menemukanku dengannya, bantulah kami untuk sentiasa dalam keadaan mengingatiMu dan kekasihMu Rasulullah. Redhailah pertemuan kami Ya Allah. Hadirkanlah Rasulullah di setiap saat kami mengingatiMu dan Rasulullah. Engkaulah kekasih kami yang sebenar Ya Allah. Begitu juga cinta kami sangat mendalam untuk kekasih abadiMu Rasulullah. Maka jadikanlah kami dalam keadaan bercinta hanyalah semata-mata untuk sentiasa mencintai, mentaati dan mengingatiMu serta junjungan mulia Rasulullah ‘alaihissolatu wassalam.

stress while being sick

15 august 2007
singapore

yet again, i was hospitalised.. it was not as if i was looking forward to this ‘annual event’ but it was expected.. every year; since my first year returning from egypt to singapore, i would end up in a hospital.. now i’m already in my third year; also third time being hospitalised.. and three years in a row.. all for the same one reason which was, a lung infection which caused a high fever and chest tightness.. for short, i would just refer it as an asthma attack..

maybe it was because of the change of temperature.. my lung couldn’t handle the drastic change of egypt’s sahara dryness to the damp tropical weather..

but right now i’m not writing about a topic on ‘the hospital and I’ or anything about ‘the weather’.. i am about to uncover what troubles the minds of the hospitalised patients..

i was sent to a room shared with 5 other patients.. accidentally i overheard 3 of the patients’ conversations.. i was not eavesdropping.. the conversations were loud and clear.. besides, there was no tv in the room..

from the first patient occupying the bed infront of me, i could hear her talking on her handphone.. her conversation was like this “hello, i’m at the hospital right now.. i’ll be getting a surgery at my stomach in few minutes time.. so i need to take a leave.. *pause for awhile*.. yeah i tried finding someone to take over the job but couldn’t get anybody.. *pause again*.. i understand that i had left tonnes of work but i really need your help.. *pause again*.. ok, i’ll get back to you after the surgery.. thanx..”

from the second patient beside her, also a conversation on her handphone.. “hello.. i’m imran’s mother.. sorry i didnt come to school this morning.. i just had a surgery.. imran told me that he wanted to retake his exam.. *pause for awhile*.. he told me that i need to see the principal but i couldnt make it.. i’m at the hospital.. *pause again*.. yes please consider that.. i am very grateful.. thank you..”

from the third patient beside my bed.. she was talking to her friend who visited her.. it was more to like confiding in that friend of hers.. it also sounded like a complaint.. and so she said.. “i couldnt take it anymore in that office.. the fella is really selfish and irresponsible.. and who got the blame?.. i did.. i thought of quitting the job.. maybe after recovering, i will find a new job.. this office politic is stressing me out..”

hmmm.. i pity them.. when can they actually rest..

and so.. there goes.. stress of sickness.. or is it.. sick of stressfulness..

well, what can i say?..

now i’m scared to finish up my studies and to enter their world..

Wow.. so green..

singapore

Alhamdulillah.. back to my homeland.. almost a year abroad.. i was observing singapore from the moving car.. such a pleasant scenery.. i was smiling to myself.. a friend was with me.. we studied together.. she was quiet all the way.. i finally asked her, “what were you thinking?”.. she looked at me and said, “wow.. sooo greeen..” that was a simple comment.. but it meant everything.. she was away for too long.. 4 years in egypt without even once returning home.. her eyes were used to the brownish buildings and desert.. now that we are home, we are much more appreciative of this wow sooo greeen country..

halfway thru a journey.. i’ve decided to preserve the memories..

mansoura, egypt

I am leaving for singapore soon.. from this date onwards, i will try to insert useful entries in this blog..

this blog is like my travelling journal.. i’ve been travelling and studying abroad for the past 4 years.. and still am.. but halfway thru this journey, i’ve decided to preserve the memories.. life experiences galore but some are forgotten and some still playing vividly in this mind.. i cant possibly write these experiences which i had in yemen, egypt, indonesia, malaysia etc all at once.. i plan to do so bit by bit.. recapitulating the past..

and so.. some stories are about to start..

————————————————————————————–

still.. u can also read up our life experiences in mansoura egypt at http://anak-mansoura.blogspot.com

writing my hearts out

i never write a journal… i never had a diary…

BUT…

at times, i juz need to express myself… although not to everybody, not to anybody…

so that my mind can be at ease and my heart finds peace…

Ya Rabb… Please guide our intentions and actions…
