those late night shows

Today's German word of the day is die Antwort - reply

In German, the w is pronounced like a v. and the v is pronounced like an f.

I would rather know the truth even though it hurts rather than being comforted with a lie.

This was taken from The Kite Runner. I thought the words are beautiful. Something that we all can relate to really.

In many cases, we could see the vast difference between a man and a woman. I agree that woman are more inclined to using their emotions (I am a woman) and men (manly man) handles most issues using their minds. Which makes them (men) a more appropriate candidate to lead a family. God created woman with such delicacy and perfection, and how complicated we may seem, inside and out, physically and emotionally, we are important to mankind. God created woman after He created man. A woman is made from a man's rib. Close to his heart to be loved and above his feet to be respected.

In The Muslim Bride, I learned a lot of things. Not only how to be a Bride for the day, but also a wife and a daughter and inshaAllah one day a mother. I realized that Allah made men and women not equal. But fair.

Yes, I do miss my husband dearly. Perhaps there are no words could really describe how I feel (sounds like in a song) but really I do. And somehow along our conversations, I know that he misses me too, he may not say it as it as often as I do. but I know he does. coz i know him.. I understand that he has a lot of things going on.. and how I wish I could be there to lessen his burden.. to greet him with a hug and a kiss everytime he comes back from work.. to serve him to eat after a long hard day work.. and bring him sweet deserts and green or red cordial drinks.. to pretend washing dishes after dinner and quietly watch him while he quietly reads my blog to check out what his wife has been up to, to hang out with him playing guitar hero and watch Conan O Brien or 30 rock or Eureka till late night.. I hope and pray that those days will come again soon, inshaAllah..

I know that he loves me as much as I love him. And I also know that he wants me to be patient... cause he is being more than patient.. and he is a much stronger person than I am.. for that, he is my better half.. for that, i too, have to be patient... Maybe I haven't been what I am supposed to be, to I haven't been doing what I should have done.. but I will try to be more patient now.. ok bb ? :)

For you, a thousand times over..

Thinking of you
Thinking of you
Cause in your eyes, I'd like to stay... I love you bb..

khaled's stories

'When you fall you will rise'

That's on my FB status now. Of course people would comment. Most active follower I know for sure would be my sister.

I guess God wants me to rest for a bit now. I know that He knows.

What's good out of it is that I get to indulge in one of the greatest novels ever written. Ikhwan mentioned quite a number of times about 'The Kite Runner'. So I decided that it's a good book to invest on.

I read word by word, quenching my thirst of new ideas. Transforming every sentence to emotion. Visualizing and connecting to what Khaled Hosseini had beautifully written.

I am a slow reader. And I read slowly while diving myself to the world of imagination. A tear dropped. and another. and another.

This guy is really good.I will put this book as a must read, at least once in a lifetime.

Next in line is 'A Thousand Splendid Suns'

My Wednesday

I went to PWTC for the International Book Fair Festival and had a great time :) I loved it.. wish I could spend more time tapi tak sempat.

Lucky me, I was selected to go and choose books for our Degree Program, Ijazah Sarjana Muda Sains Matematik dan Statistik. And I was just blown away by all the books there. MasyaAllah..

I managed to get 4 books. And one of them is the long - awaited for, Benarkah Alexander Bukan Zukqarnain. Hehe (syirfan minta autograph bole ka? ni i tolong promote kan your book here hehehe)

Other updates? Been busy marking papers.. and I have an announcement to be made soon, insyaAllah.. tungguuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ;)

my friday the 13th of February

I wish I could be as charismatic, calm and reserved just like J-Lo in Shall We Dance. It amazes me how she can dance using those heels (love the shoes) with that perfect posture. Firm yet graceful. The movie is nice and the ending is not so cliche'. I like. Plus, I've always been a Richard Gere fan. My favourite scene would be when Richard Gere was holding a rose wearing a 3piece suit on the escalator.. (Very romantic.. Aduh... Lemah...)

Today I chatted with 3 of MSO's siblings. The youngest one was really cute. She is the same age as Izzah. The 2nd youngest is like a photocopied image of MSO and the 3rd youngest is abit laid back..

I am very disappointed with Astro. It hasn't been working for almost 2 weeks now. And I missed the last episode of Alexander Bukan Zulkarnain (sorry Syirfan. But I will definitely get the original CD, do update me). Luckily Cikyah SMSed me at 11pm with the conclusion, "At the moment we settle for cyrus as iskandar". I thought so. Since Alexander's features were the total opposite of Iskandar Zulkarnain in the Quran, Surah Al-Kahfi.

On a brighter note, I finished the first chapter of the autobiography of a supermodel Alek Wek while riding in the bus to work. I thought it was beautifully written and as usual I am taking my time reading it and indulging myself through some creative writings. I try to put myself in her shoes but it doesn't seem to fit. Some of the things that were described were beautifully arranged that I wish I could watch it in the movie. I've always loved to go to different countries and learn their cultures and histories. Perhaps I will one day, insyaAllah..

Oh yes, and I soo don't believe on Friday the 13th. 13 is my significant lucky number. Like seriously.

A cool incident happened today before leaving work. All I can say is that cantik is such a beautiful word :)

my tuesdays with morrie

I spent my Saturday finishing the novel i bought on 1st Jan 2008, PS I love You by Cecelia Ahern. Finally! No no.. don't get me wrong.. it's not that the novel was boring, it was great! and i just lost count of the times i had tears in my eyes.. The story was very touching!.. however, it was written in such a way that it was in Ireland.. and I prefer American-written novelist , i guess.. but all in all, its highly recommended! (especially if you're a sucker for love stories like me.. hehe) next in the running is Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom. yup, cikyah recommended this book.. a story about an old man, a young man, and life's greatest lesson... and i think i need a little bit of some positive energy.. so i guess this book is good for me rite now...

my secret, your secret

Today's German word is lediglich (cara sebut: lady-glish) which means 'merely'.

Ok so, this morning i woke up at 645.. (sunday tu) i was feeling abit under the weather since thursday.. tp now dah alhamdulillah okay.. Not much update. I finished reading 'The Secret' by Rhonda Bryne and it was very inspirational. Thanks to Kamal Azra who recommended it to me.. and thanks to azlina's friend's friend who lend it to me.. Well basically what 'The Secret' says is that you can have anything you want in life if you just focus and think about it all the time. It also explained the theory that what & where you are now is actually a dream or vision you have before. Therefore if you want more in life, you have to envision yourself living that life everyday. And that there is nothing that can stop whatever you want in life. You cannot even have one single doubt that you will have it. It true though.. I guess..

So I started 2008 by reading 'The Secret' and thought about what I want in life and have starting applying 'The Secret' in my daily life routine. So of course if you think about it, in Islam, we pray 5 times a day. So when we pray, Subuh, pagi2 tu kita doakan apa yg kita nak.. 'The Secret' says, when you wake up, be thankful that you are alive. Show gratitude. So kita ucapkan alhamdulillah.. So there's actually no secret in 'The Secret'. We already know what 'The Secret' is cuma tak praktikkan aja.. So let's praktikkan 'The Secret' and live the life we have always dreamed of..
