Finish lines and whatnot

I may have said this before but...I kinda like repetition?

I feel like every brand new day is a day for reinventing yourself. Find the flaw of yesterday, then improve for the future. Insya'Allah, kita cuba okay?

What is our purpose on Earth? Our true calling..
Sometimes human lived more than half of their lives trying to figure it out, and may even still hazy on the things they should do on Earth. Its not as easy as it seems. It might be that you're good at this one thing and you go to pursue it. But once you get it, thats it. What else to it? Find a purpose that is a lifetime or even worth in the afterlife . You know, serve Allah humbly. But it is not just strictly to be Ustaz and Ustazah and preach and stuff. You can be an architect and still see the beauty that Allah had created and find a way for others to appreciate it. That may be a preach too you know.


You cannot win a race if there's no finish line.  Yet, you can't win a race when you don't even know where the finish line is!

So, find a finish line. Go race to it. You may have little time left.

Ya Allah, permudahkanlah urusan ku. Lembutkanlah hati Ummi dan Abah.

Its time to change

die Schönheit

I guess I was trying to find the good in everything. And if you're searching for something good, insya'Allah Allah will lead the way for us.

I'm blessed and grateful for friends and family for their support in which I will never be able to go through anything without Allah's and their help. Alhamdulillah.

Its my first time to perform Solat Istikharah. Tenang. Its like you're ready for Allah to give answers and having that connection and special bond is more than enough for me. Alhamdulillah. Pray for me. Pray for my peace of mind.

Before that, I was like having PMS for a week. Moodswings and anxiety stuff. And its not even 'that time of month' yet. Haihh.

I went for a jog with Zati last night. Yes, at night. Petang taksempat pun. On that wide open field in Jeli Campus, its really clear to find stars. After a few rounds jogging we sat there and talk and try to recognize the stars. I wish I could just lie there and look at the stars, looking at Allah's great creations. Subhanallah cantik.

You might say, "Alah, bintang je pun." For a city girl like me, its so hard to just ease up and find the time to look up at the sky. Lampu terang sangat kat bandar.
Its like a real diamond in the sky. I wish I could share the moment with my loved ones, just breathe the fresh air and look at the beautiful stars. I could actually feel myself smiling.

One night after picking up Lissa from tuition,
Lissa: Angah, come outside, I wanna show you something.
Me: What? *goes outside*
Lissa: Okay, you stand here, face this side okay Angah?
*Lissa positioning me*
Lissa: Now look up. Do you see what I see?
Me: Wahh
Lissa: Do you know the names Angah?
Me: Not really. But I think that three straight stars lining up is the Orion's Belt.
Lissa: Yes it is. *She started drawing empty lines on the sky, trying to connect the dots and make shapes and finally found the guy with bow and arrow*

An interest sparked in me that night. I wish I could see the stars every night. I wish to be able to identify and name most of those stars. Pastu boleh tunjuk kat Lissa (:

Stargaze with me, bucuk?

Genius

Here's an honest thought from me.
I have always thought that creating an outfit has its own similarities with creating a dish.
I mean, in an outfit, you will always have one piece of clothing that shines which the rest of the clothing pieces just compliments it; with the awesome color, right way to wear and the right accessories.

In cooking, there's always a main thing in a dish. Chicken, Fish, Meat, Broth or even Pasta. There's gonna be one that shines and the flavor in it compliments the main with side stuff that enhances the taste. Kinda like accessories for clothes.

Here I'm comparing an outfit with a dish. hah. If I can be good at putting together the perfect outfit, then, does that mean I can make great dishes too?

If only it would be that easy. Maybe that's Wafi's corner to mix food. Let me play with clothes. Wheee :P
