The ABCs of Life

Thanks to those who are still reading this blog though without updates for a while NOW. I’m not sure whether I’ll be updating frequently again, but I do hope to do so once everything’s certain and settled InshaALlah. Meanwhile, please make du’a for us ya!

To Audrey and LoveQ gang, truly sorry but I don’t think I can participate every week until I get my two feet back home (in my homeland)….allahuma yassir ya ALlah.

I really want to write sometimes. And the worst part of wanting to write is, there’s always something to write down in my head when I’m in bed, putting my baby to sleep and when I’m about to sleep myself. And that is not the time to write because I don’t want my little angel to wake up when she realize that I’m not by her side. And of course after that good night/day sleep, I won’t remember anything when I wake up!

Okay, I’m not complaining about my baby, I’m complaining about myself…I should have put the book and pen under my pillow like before. And scribble in the dark like I did before…why am I remembering these to do things ONLY NOW?!

Aduhhh…sila abaikan pernyataan di atas.

Anyway, about wanting to write, other than having what to write, there’s always a question about why write? Haha, belit-belit punya ayat!

The thing is; there are times I’m not sure whether these words and thoughts are worth to be printed out. Or at least blogged about. Who’s reading? And are they of any benefit to them?

Of thousand and millions of blogs that exist in this realm, what makes me a worth reading writer and what makes me not?

I hate the idea of simply telling stories of just my everyday life. I used to renounce the idea of blogging = online journal/diaries.

But life has taught me that people love this type of writing like they love fun and exciting comics and romantic love stories.

Why? Because people love to snoop on other people’s live? Maybe huh ;)?

But the fact is, people love real people. Real things. Life, for real. Fairy tales and philosophy could seem heavenly nice. But we aren’t fairies and we can’t just live on ideals.

I’ve learnt that people learn from others by learning what they experience in life and how do they respond to it. And people like to understand that they can know, do things, overcome problems and so on being the people they are; with weaknesses, limitations, wants and needs.

And that’s why He sent Prophets to mankind, chosen among men themselves. A Prophet has always been a man, never a Jinn nor an angel. He sent a man to other men so that he will teach them revelations and wisdom. And so that they will be able to understand his speech and follow him by example.

3:164 Allah did confer a great favour on the believers when He sent among them an apostle from among themselves, rehearsing unto them the Signs of Allah, sanctifying them, and instructing them in Scripture and Wisdom, while, before that, they had been in manifest error.

Well, I’m not sure where am I heading with this entry. I just hope that this entry and everything that I’ve written and shall write be a good deed that will benefit InshaALlah, more than just me.

Mungkin untuk masa-masa sukar menulis begini, bisa saya lambakkan sejumlah puisi yang sudah lama tak menghuni blog ini.

Allah Maha Pengasih
