janji

janji

ia adalah berat

berat untuk ditunaikan

diri ini masih lemah

berat utk dilepaskan

diri ini masih butuhkannya

berat untuk ditunaikan

diri ini masih kurang lengkap

berat untuk dilepaskan

diri ini masih mahu percaya

berat untuk ditunaikan

diri ini takut tidak mampu menanggung

Ya Tuhan, demi masa yang telah Kau bersumpah,

tuntunilah hati ini 

agar kami tidak tergolong diantara orang orang yang lalai

Ya Tuhan, demi matahari

demi bulan dan peredarannya

demi siang dan malam

yang telah Kau bersumpah

jagalah hati ini 

agar kami tidak tergolong diantara orang orang yang rugi

Ya Tuhan, yang kami telah bersumpah

sebelumnya adanya kami di dunia ini

dan selepasnya adanya kami di dunia ini

kuatkanlah kami

agar janji kami disana dan disini

mampu terlaksana

lesson 32 - lonely, i no longer am. and i believe you too, my good friend

Assalamualaikum wbt

among the main culprit of one behaviours though can be arguably be said due to syaitan, but for me it was raised by feeling of loneliness. 

being alone, one would then tried to fill up his/her time to what it being 'set' to, either be in accordance to their 'favourite activities'. anything that could be planned to cover up the loneliness are not quantifiable and can be ranging to the simplest idea to even complicated ones. 

and how it could possibly be despite Allah in Surah Qaaf (50) verses 16 said "It was We who created man and We know what dark suggestions his soul makes to him; for We are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein"

is it us who tried to be far from Him despite He is near to us?

is it us who choose to ignore despite Him being with us?

i left these to you and to me to find it out.

insyaAllah we will find the answer if we verily seek Him.

may Allah bless!

lesson 31 - a life at high altitude

assalamualaikum wbt dan selamat pagi!

i have been to one of the tallest mountain in the world or 20th in the world and tallest in south east asia. ouh let me rephrase that, i have conquered, but totally not owned it. 

the trip itself, if i were to briefly summarize it, would make a short sentence like "Gosh, tell me again why am I here?", "natang, penat nok mapuh", "haihhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh", "ok complete 50 steps, lets take 5 minutes break" and few sentences that i'm not proud of which shows how unfit i am trying to conquer this mountain. yep, i'm totally unfit. i haven't had my training for kinabalu where people should at least have some stamina (running or walking the stairs or hitch hiking or hill climbing) to prepare themselves for this. what i did is solely writing a post at this blog (haktuih?), editing pictures, and etc that doesn't involve any sweats (except that i spend 2 months before this event at offshore :P)

hamim, bro and me at the peak

despite everything, the scenery was awesome! worth of every please-refer-to-the-above-statement-that-shows-how-tired-and-frustrated-it-can-be and i just show you one of that. the mount had just had its rain and the waters starts to pour and form a river. later that, a high sky sunset, orange and blue which is outstandingly awesome.

but, that trip teach me alot, exactly two things that i can use. 

the first lesson was taught by my tour guide or porter (we did used porter for our trip)

"move, even at smallest steps that you can make, at your own convenience and pace. do not stop as necessary stops would only turn your momentum down. 

you could think that by stopping, you would gain strength, but dealing with mind, stops can only make you stop and not reaching your goal. 

hence, move, take your action, and surely you would be able to find and reach your goal."

the second lesson was only understood after I went down from the peak with all those-please-refer-to-the-above-statement-that-shows-how-tired-and-frustrated-it-can-be. 

"never expect things to go smooth especially if you do not prepare for it. preparation is a must or you would see hellish situation despite everything can be solved or completed"

i'll prepare myself, for my second trip to kinabalu. this is a revenge!

wish me luck and hope you can learnt something from this lesson. 

insyaAllah.

faisal + hikmah part II - Khatam Al-Quran

assalamualaikum wbt.

a continuation from here where in this post, i have been invited to be the OP for the reception event on Faisal behalf, in Johor. Though, as most people would say, it uncommon for guy (according to Malay custom-again) to do Khatam Al-Quran, yet here we are, for Faisal.

It doesn't necessary for the Khatam Al-Quran to be made during the wedding nor reception but as people say, it usually the best thing to do as all the preparation are there, and just awaits the person, i.e. bride or bridegroom to be the one that be reading the last juzuk of the Quran.

hope you enjoy the pictures!

p/s: saya masih suka gelap

assalamualaikum wbt.

we can never fully understand what sea, the God's creation stored and what it can teach us.

but this trip, surely taught me alot on what future may lies.

family; parents, wife(wives), kids
work

and how sure are you that you will be able to go back home and are you ready for it?

we can never knew

lesson 30 - what is your contractual?

haven't you ponder reasons behind


the likeness of people who would like to have and keep every receipts of their expenses?
the likeness of people who read through the term and conditions for each of online items that they bought?
the likeness of people who understood the meaning on every sentence that they read?
the likeness of people who like to have everything written, black and white, and stamped on it?
the likeness of people who put everything, binding it in a document called contract?

it is to
perform better
manage better
know better
fulfill it to the maximum


and to avoid 
penalty
any commercial risk
liability and indemnity

and the next question would be,
what is your contract to perform such?
what is the guideline?
and were the verses or clauses in your contract and guideline can guarantee and offer protection to you?

i can only name one

This is also inconjunction with Nuzul Quran this Ramadhan (I know I'm late :P)

p/s: lesson 30 marks the 150 post! (at last)

lesson 29 - air yang keroh

assalamualaikum wbt.

kalau berjumpa air yang keroh

biarkanlah ia, jgn dikacau

risau nanti, bertambah pula

the first thing to do when you are trying to solve a problem, is observe the problem or situation. once observation is done, try to understand whether or not the problem can be solved linearly. in solving problem be it mathematical speaking or normal way of doing things, linear approach is the first step. once it it confirmed that linear is no longer applicable, then you will proceed with non-linear approach and add up few variables to that approach to linearize it.

and how this relates to "air yang keroh"? most people tends to stir around the problem causing more ruckus as compared to let it settle first, see, observe before any approach to be done. jumping towards the "air yang keroh" would only make you look stupid, but surely more problem will come in the future. hence, the poem states let it be, and then solve everything in a swift.

as long you done your part well, insyaAllah God will help to ensure at His ends.

:)

random thoughts

thinking to do some rebranding and commercialization of few important things in my life. but planning need to come first.
there is a gap before that i need to fill, hence there is a need to go back to drawing board i guess.
should be interesting
as life now is getting interesting


and for some reason,  thank you God for the planning that I would get married late than normal people. 
I loved to get married as early as i could but surely God have His great plan for me. 
I might had some challenges and FAQ alot 
I'll always trust You would help me to go through these
trust and patient, is the key for these
and surely i'll have you at my side, sooner or later


i'll thank You and you.

faisal + hikmah - solemnization and reception

assalamualaikum wbt!

sebenarnya spttnya sebelum ni ada kuarkan teaser utk pasangan ini, tapi disebabkan ada hal lagi penting, maka tak kesampaian hajat tersebut. tahniah kepada pacel and hikmah, tho sebenarnya dah lama da diorang ni kawin. bukan sengaja dilewatkan, akan tetapi banyak masa digunakan untuk menapis gamba-gamba ni sebelum bergerak kepada editting process lak. 

pacel, or nama sebenarnya faisal merupakan kawan baik, senior, kawan seni, osmet, tempat menumpang teduh tatkala baru je menjejakkan kaki di kl (2 ari cam tu kot). skang pacel sudah pon menjadi suami orang (sedih2) yang mana membuka lebih banyak langkah kepada kwn2 untuk menceburi alam yang mana dijanjikan kesempurnaan separuh iman. terima kasih pacel and hikmah for trusting me for this wedding.

its the first wedding upon graduation from snap, and its a still weight at my shoulder as to perform what snap graduate should have been perform. alhamdulillah, with Allah help, being alone to cover these event, i would say it is a success. cakap byk tak guna, have fun browsing the pictures!

or just visit here afterwards yup?

this would be my last job for this year, had to concentrate on my second degree which expected to be concluded by year end. wish me luck, it is hard to put aside photography, but i would definitely shoot, for fun or work (since i still need to do my professional engineering reporting as well).

luck and your prayer is definitely things that i would like to have the most. and keep visiting this blog as well :P. as to you, may Allah bless you and help you throughout your daily activities. please do not push yourself too much, take time but at the same time, ensure your time taken is a well taken. 

this is for now, i have yet to update on my trip being engineer and photojournalist (i would update in september, at most, jst to take away all the potential heat!) :D
