Clock is Ticking

 Salam

I have the same curiousity like Dahlia does, from this youtube link.

I love how Ustaz Syed Putra explanation on there is nothing wrong with being rich, (not that I am rich hahaha don’t get me wrong, but please pray if that will benefit to many). Okay, on his explanation, there is nothing wrong on being rich, because being rich and well-off is also a test. He said that Abdul Rahman bin Auf is the last among Rasulullah SAW’s sahabah (friends) that will enter Jannah (heaven), because he is rich so he has a a lot to answer during the Day of Judgment. Upon hearing that, Abdul Rahmah bin Auf give away all (I forgot - all or most of) his possession, there and then.

I recently also stumbled upon many quotes and reminder that one of best trait is by being someone that will ease others, in Malay, ‘yang menyenangkan’. I find it is weird because it is so vague. Haha. Delved deeper into this, I think I have better picture now. ‘Yang menyenangkan’ is when we talk to them, they curate the delivery of words to make us feel better but still staying true to the fact, on house chores, the one that is always offer to help or accustomed to do house chore because not being lazy is the most obvious trait of ‘yang menyenangkan’, when working in group - not being silo or freeloader, to list a few contexts. 

I think being rich will make one to be ‘yang menyenangkan’ easier, because they have one of the important commodity or mean, which is money. Same goes to being healthy, with the commodity is energy and being young, because clock is ticking and death is calling.

So we are equally equipped to be ‘yang menyenangkan’, there is always mean to do good, with our own capacity. Thanks to Dahlia and Ustaz Syed Putra for the content, such a good reminder for me to continue progressing myself to become better. 

May we benefit others in everyway possible and for that, may we granted the best place later. 

Stint

 Salam.

I hope everyone is well. 

It is getting harder for me to write in here, because I want the write up to be complete soonest possible. During my younger days, I used to spend hours here so I didn’t really have that pressure to get this done in few minutes. 

So I thought something magical happened to me last week. I am not going to share what it was but I have never felt like that before. 

How are you coping with life? I can’t wait for things to get back to normal. I missed everything that I dread before, especially going to office. I used to dislike going to office (not miss the train part though), but now I think like going to office, meeting people is one of the thing that I missed most. 

Work has been crazy but Alhamdulillah for the rezeki. 

I have been running quite consistently again, for every morning now. I will try to commit to this new habit as I think I am less annoying to others (read : bad temper) and more productive throughout the day. To commit to this morning run is also feel easier and lighter now because my objective now is simpler, to get healthier and cultivate this habit as my lifelong habit and lifestyle. 

Hope this jagged route will pass soon and till then, may the force be with us, Insha Allah. 

Whole

Salam.

I recently discover this idea, of a void. The common thing people would say if there is void in their heart or life, is for that void to be filled, so that void will not hurt as much. 

But last week or last 2 weeks, from the book that I currently read, he mentioned about the void to be vanished. I really really love that idea, that a void can disappear, not because it was filled, but the void is no longer exist. Sounds like that person is finally whole. 

Whole. Contented. 

I want my void to disappear. I think I have been living with the idea that a void can only be filled, not vanished. So I was always hoping for next, more, grander things to happen to me, so the void will be filled and I will be whole, completely satisfied with everything. But I forget that whatever, whoever that fill the void, the ‘filler’ will also one day, gone. 

And now, upon knowing this fact, I hope it is not too late for me to try, to feel whole with whatever I have now.
