Masalah manusia #26 - LAZY N STUBBORN

We live in the time where, all that are 'logic' are defined as 'deep', all that are 'common sense' are defined as 'kind'.

The malfunction of the brains of the society. Too lazy to think. I can't even say you are dummer than the animals. It's an insult to the animals. (ni pun mesti kau nak kata deep gak kan)

Masalah manusia #25 - ABNORMAL

My dear future kids,

Mommy has some problems here. Eye sore. Men with buns are like women with side shaved. I dont get 'em.

At all.

Men do their eyebrows here. Women tattooed theirs.

Why???

Can't imagine how they'd behave in your time, honey... I'm already so sorry for you, sweetheart.

Love,
Mommy

Ameen #21 - ALLADIN

When I was a kid, the whole family would pray maghrib together.
We would all stand in line in front of the sajadah. And everytime when we have to make our sujood and tahayyatul akhr, I would make sure my whole body especially my feet would not leave the sajadah area...

I'm afraid that if the sajadah were to transform into flying carpet, I would fall down then, not able to join my family for an adventure.

We were to take-off to visit the Pluto, the Uranus, the Sun, the Mars, the...

'Assalamualaikum warahmatullah...'

Oh, man... back to earth...

*          *          *

Maghrib prayer | the sunset prayer
Sajadah | praying mat
Sujood | prostration
Tahayyatul Akhr | the final stage, sitting on your feet reciting the last prayer before the final Salam (the greeting of peace... Assalamualaikum warahmatullah) to end the prayer.

Thoughts #30 - LIBERATION

When I was a kid, I envy the adults... of how free they are in making their own choices, having the full autonomy of their lives. I often felt trapped in my parents' prison...

WISH #6 - GIFT OF LIFE

to be a volunteer in a hospital, helping out the patients, preferably those who suffer from leukimia and cancers, those who suffer from anything related to spine and brain

Layar #12 - The Secret Life of Mitty Walter

On the Himilayan Mountains, hours of waiting to take a good shot of the snow leopard...

Sean O'Connell: They call the snow leopard the ghost cat. Never lets itself be seen.

Walter Mitty: Ghost cat.

Sean: Beautiful things don't ask for attention.

(silent moment...)

Walter: When are you going to take it?

Sean: Sometimes I don't. If I like a moment, for me, personally, I don't like to have the distraction of the camera. I just want to stay in it.

Walter: Stay in it?

Sean: Yeah. Right there. Right here.

.         

.

.

Strucked right at the heart as the lines were spoken. Two things came to mind:

'Do you consider yourself beautiful? If so, why the spotlights you made on yourself ? '

'Not every thing you cherrish, let alone appreciate and love should be put on camera... much more absurd to be shared on social media.'

then it immediately came to mind of the quotes of Albert Einstein:

'I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.'

*

The thing is, as we develope, we tend to forget our past and forget to learn the very essence of it. Too blurred by the mainstream mentality, too caught up with all the attention received.

One day, you will come to realise of how much the heart is contaimenated, of how much it needed to be de-toxed. 

Then, you realise the need to go back to sticks and stones, and learn how to appreciate things like the way it was before.

Yes.

Way way back.

When Abraham had none, but Him to guide, of what to worship, from whom to be loved...

(6:75-79)

*         *         *

Beautiful things don't ask for attention.

They ask for forgiveness, for the beauty borrowed and bestowed upon.

Vienna #36 - HOIT DI GOSCHN

"Austrians are 1) very polite, 2) they don't mean it.

On one side they say 'Gruß Gott, wie geht es Ihnen?', but in their mind they say, 'Oida hoit di goschn du bleda wappla!' "

True, except for the Viennese, it's the very opposite of that statement. Viennese are 1) very rude, 2) they mean it.

Vielen Dank.

Glossary :


Oida hoit di goschn du bleda wappla! (austrian dialect)
Alter, halt die Klappe du blöder Trottle! (standart german)
Man, shut that howling screamer (the mouth), you skunk! (english translation)


Gruß Gott, wie geht es Ihnen?
Hello, how are you?

SURVIVAL

"Den Satz, den ich in einer Sprache anfange, spreche ich in der selben Sprache zu Ende."

(Christoph Waltz)

*          *          *

Auch wenn der Aussage im Prinzip so schön und logisch klingt, sogar den Mut zeigt, ist es in der Wirklichkeit fast unmöglich für die östliche Welt, näher betrachten, für einen Malaysianer ihn zu realisieren.

Die Kolonialisierung ließ mehr als nur Soldaten, Ruine und Waffen hinter. Der Schuld ist selbst verständlich nicht 100%ig auf sie zu übertragen. Aber das zu sagen, dass die Malaysianern selbst wegen der unglaublich eingemischten Umgangssprache kein Prinzip haben, ist absurd.

Egal wie schön die Standardsprache einer Nation ist, zeigt es nur die 1% hochschichtige Einheit des Gedankens jener Nation. Die Restliche zeigt die Umgangsprache deutlich, nicht nur wie  die Mentalität jener Nation ist, sondern auch wie sie in der Realität, bzw wie sie in der Vergangenheit, Gegenwart, und die Zukunft, mit der Umgebung beging, um zu überleben.

WWK #15 - LIVING THE PRESENT

'I hate it... just can't get control of myself. I can't stop my brain from thinking too far ahead.'

'I know... I understand you totally...'

'I mean come on, the only thing I should be worrying about right now is to get this degree done. Why all the fuss about the future and not getting the current work done? And I can't make it stop.'

'But don't you think, it's because we don't want to live the present?'

'Oh my God...'

*          *          *

As much as needed to set for the big goal, you need to set the small goals to be able to live the present.

As much as you hate it, it's a gift.

Circle #24 - HE, THE GREATEST

Saheera:

'Korang buka la link ni, it helps me a lot if rasa down nak solat. 'MuslimMatters: Beautiful Salah'


*          *          *


He awakes in the middle of the night with a purpose. Slowly, he gets out of bed and quietly slips off to the bathroom so not to awaken the others. Inside he feels refreshed as the cool water splashes on his face, arms and feet. Revived, he heads out with a purpose to his prayer room.
He has had a very difficult day with a lot of questions echoing in his head, but he did not complain to anybody, as he knows there is only One who can assist him. The One who ordered him to seek assistance through prayer and patience, so here he is, seeking assistance through prayer, while many others sleep.
He raises his hands above his shoulders and proclaims the greatness of his Creator “Allāhu Akbar!”, then folds them on his chest. Quietly, he seeks protection from the accursed Satan, and begins in the name of his Lord. He recites The Opening Chapter in beautiful rhythmic tones. He takes his time, knowing that after every verse, his Lord replies. “All praise is for Allāh, the Lord of the Worlds,” he begins. He can feel the response within him, “My slave has praised me!”
“Most Gracious, Most Merciful,” he continues. “My slave has glorified me!” is the response. “Master of the Day of Judgment,” he affirms. “My slave has related all matters to me,” Allāh responds. “You alone we worship and You alone we ask for help,” he attests. Allāh's reply fills his heart with hope and joy, “This is between me and my servant and my servant will have whatever he asks for!”
At this point, he breaks down into tears as he asks Allāh for the most important thing in his life, “Guide us to the straight path, the path of those who have earned your favor, not of those who have earned your anger or have gone astray!” He feels peace as he internalizes Allāh's response, “This is for my slave and my slave will have what he asked for.”
He then recites further and feels Allāh's guidance in every verse he recites. For whichever chapter of the Qurʾān he chooses to recite from, he is assured that he will find guidance as Allāh has testified, “this is the book in which there is no doubt, it is a guidance for those who are conscious of Allāh.” After completing his emotional recitation in which he pondered over Allāh's wise and reassuring words, he bows in rukū' and glorifies his Lord for His guidance and mercy.
He then stands up straight and praises Allāh as he prepares for his favorite part of the prayer: the sajdah! He proclaims the greatness of Allāh and goes straight down into prostration, indicating his full submission to his Creator. It is a position which signifies complete obedience and humility and it is the position in which a person is closest to their Lord.
He stays in sajdah for a long time with no intention of getting up soon. He glorifies his Lord, The Most High, multiple times then breaks down into tears and begins to ask for everything he needs. He stays like this for several minutes with only Allāh knowing what he is saying. He is praying; praying for everything he needs, praying for everyone he knows, praying for people he doesn't know, praying for people who might even hate or harm him. He prays and prays, in complete submission to his Lord.
He then sits up to take a short break and seeks forgiveness for any shortcomings in his prayer, then goes back into prostration to glorify His Lord more and ask Him again for His endless bounties. After a few minutes, he stands up and repeats the entire cycle again.
Several minutes later, the humble slave returns to his bed at peace with his Lord, and at peace with creation. He recites his du'a before sleeping and closes his eyes for a short nap, ready to tackle the challenges of life in the morning with full faith in his Lord.
This is alāh, true alāhalāh based upon understanding, concentration, sincerity and submission. It was never meant to be a ritual, but rather a means of communication with our Creator and spiritual revival. May Allāh grant us all the ability, guidance and commitment to pray like this every day in all our prayers.

MOMENTUM

"In almost every culture there has existed a more or less ubiquitous concept of beauty, a unifying spirit shining forth in objects of daily use in our contemporary culture, however, the fractured quality of so-called aesthetic concepts has resulted in an unparalleled absence of beauty from our man-made environments. When working with lightweight structures it is fascinating to observe how their inherent beauty seems to rather spontaneously 'appear' - usually after a laborious process of definition and optimization, not by a predetermined design. The pure mathematical beauty in minimal surfaces is also the beauty in nature where all structures are optimized."

Islamische Zeitung: Ihr Rat an junge Architekten?

Mahmud Bodo Rasch: Im Studium an den Hochschulen kann man nicht lernen, was man wissen muss, um ein Architekt im Sinne des Wortes zu sein. Darum sollten junge Absolventen hinaus gehen in andere Welten, andere Kulturen und den engen Blickwinkel abschaffen, der ihnen hier als Maß alle Dinge mit auf den Weg gegeben wird. Auch zum Verständnis der eigenen Kultur ist es notwendig, andere Kulturen zu kennen. Man kann doch das Phänomen Baum erst dann erkennen, wenn man verschiedene Bäume kennt. Außerdem gibt es in anderen Weltgegenden viel Arbeit und sichet auch viele dankbare Arbeitgeber.

Islamische Zeitung: Ihr Rat an die Muslime Europas?

Mahmud Bodo Rasch: Alles muss von innen kommen. Wenn man von innen heraus arbeitet und man dabei aufrichtig Gottes Gefallen sucht, kommt sicher das Richtige dabei heraus. Wenn das nicht geht - z.B. im Zusammenhang mit dem Broterwerb in einer nicht-islamischen Umwelt, soll man doch alle verfügbare Kraft auf die Verbesserung des eigenen Innenmenschen lenken - das ist der Große Heilige Krieg. Dabei ist das Gebet von größter Wichtigkeit. Nur wenn die Arbeit eine Verlängerung des Gebets ist, kann das erwartet werden. Da sind wir wieder bei der Moschee, eine schöne Moschee hilft dabei, denn Schönheit unterstützt das Gottesgendenken. Dazu gehört auch die Sauberkeit.

"One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its Black Gate are guarded by more than just Ocrs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poison fume. Not with 10 000 men could you do this. It is folly"

Namun tanah kami nusantara sangat subur, mana mungkin barren wasteland. Di kelilingi rimba menghijau, mana mungkin Black Gate. Didiami khalifah, mana mungkin orcs. Udaranya di pagi hari bertemankan embun suci, mana mungkin poison fume.

Consul General

"A consul is an official representative of the government of one state in the territory of another, normally acting to assist and protect the citizens of the consul's own country, and to facilitate trade and friendship between the peoples of the two countries. A consul is distinguished from an ambassador, the latter being a representative from one head of state to another. There can be only one ambassador from one country to another, representing the first country's head of state to that of the second, and his or her duties revolve around diplomatic relations between the two countries; however, there may be several consuls, one in each of several main cities, providing assistance with bureaucratic issues to both the citizens of the consul's own country travelling or living abroad and to the citizens of the country the consul resides in who wish to travel to or trade with the consul's country."

Auf der Flucht - Fiktion und Wirklichkeit

Eines Tages hörst du im Radio, dass in Wien Schüsse gefallen sind. Regierungsgegner kämpfen vor dem Schloss Schönbrunn gegen das Militär ...

Stell dir vor, du lebst im Innviertel, bist etwas Politik-uninteressiert und verfolgst nicht das tägliche innenpolitische Geschehen. Eines Tages hörst du im Radio, dass in Wien Schüsse gefallen sind. Regierungsgegner kämpfen vor dem Schloss Schönbrunn gegen das Militär. Gebäude werden bombardiert und in die Luft gesprengt, Menschen werden getötet.
Es dauert nicht lange, bis auch in deiner Gemeinde die ersten Menschen gegeneinander kämpfen. Du wirst gefragt, zu welcher Seite eigentlich du gehörst. Dein Wohnhaus wird bombardiert, weil irgendjemand dort wohnt, der sich bereits für eine der beiden Seiten entschieden hat und die anderen ihm das übelgenommen haben. Bevor du überhaupt in den Trümmern nach Überlebenden deiner Familie oder ein paar Habseligkeiten suchen kannst, wird auch auf dich die Jagd eröffnet. Von beiden Seiten, weil du ja eigentlich gar nicht genau weißt, worum es überhaupt geht. Du bist auf der Flucht.

Du fliehst, ...

Du fliehst, weil Menschen dir nach deinem Leben trachten. Und du weißt nicht, wohin. Du verkaufst deine Uhr, ein Geschenk deiner Frau zur Hochzeit, um dein Leben einem Menschen anzuvertrauen, der dich in ein anderes Land schmuggeln kann, wo kein Krieg herrscht. Dein Handy behältst du, somit kannst du vielleicht von irgendwo ja doch noch Kontakt zur Heimat herstellen. Du schlägst dich durch in ein anderes Land, wo du jetzt eigentlich auch nicht willkommen bist.

... sie beschimpfen dich

Sie beschimpfen dich als Schmarotzer, der seine Heimat in Stich gelassen hat. Trotzdem würdest du dich dem Land gegenüber, in das du dich gerettet hast, gerne dankbar zeigen und arbeiten, aber das darfst du nicht, du bist nämlich "Asylant". Menschen finden, dass sogar die Zelte, in denen du jetzt schlafen kannst, viel zu großer Luxus für dich sind. Das hast du als Vaterlandsverräter nämlich nicht verdient!

Most of the people's choices in their everyday life are driven by fear.

Just like greed, fear have the exact same power. The moment the enemy knows you have no fear (nor greed), depa awal-awal minta berdamai dan berjabat tangan.

Not because they acknowledge you. They know they just can't buy you.

Bijak.

LU #1 - VERTRAUEN

Liebe Ummi,

ehrlich gesagt, kann ich mir überhaupt nicht vorstellen, wie du mich hier in Österreich allein verlassen hast. Dein Vertrauen an Ihm musste so groß sein wie der Berg von Everest, oder noch größer... doch, größer.

Du bist die Erste, die mir Tawakkal beigebracht hast.

liebe Grüße,
dein Erstes

Thoughts #17 - SAME SHIT

Agaknya sebab tu kot Al-Quran tu ever green.

It tacles the essence of the problems while dates, venue, and nations are almost neglected. To show that, you people've been facing the same freaking problem day in day out.

Sampai iblis pun naik boring siyut.

Ameen #9 - BYE, CAMOUFLAGE

One of the greatest gift that He gives us are siblings and our similarities and differences, within the boundaries of our commonness.

To know that, there is someone like you on the other part of the world, facing the exact same essence of the problem, but with different situation, age, generation and gender.

It is not that we are trying to be different, neither do we want to get out of the main stream. It is just that when you decide to be you, you realize that everywhere else are mere pretentious.

Vienna #27 - STUDENT AGENCY BUS

Naik bas ke Czech Republic dan keliru samada hang naik bas atau kapal terbang.

Dengan tambang bas hanya sejumlah €13, anda berpeluang menikmati servis minuman percuma yang diserve secara individu kerusi ke kerusi, wifi percuma sambil menikmati keselesaan kerusi kulit, tandas, surat khabar (boleh acah-acah baca buat-buat faham bahasa czech), pelbagai pilihan movie dan musik.

Ni memang minggu depan depa ada election ke macam mana

Vienna #26 - CARI PASAL

Para Joyah dan Dolah di sini tak ubah seperti Kesatuan Eropah. Seperti tin kosong, bila di ketuk paling kuat bunyinya, sedangkan isinya tiada.

Ameen #8 - MIHO, ANAK ABAH

'Abah balik subuh tadi nampak Tam tido atas perut Miho. Anak-anak Miho yang lain pun tido sekali dengan Tam.' mesej abah di subuh hari, sedang anak sulungnya di bumi sebelah sana masih lagi tak settle-settle isya'.

Tam, seekor bayi buangan, yatim-piatu. Tang mana ntah tiba-tiba wujud di kawasan rumah kami. Aku tuduh Pashi tak mau mengaku tu anak dia. Miho sebagai seorang ibu, bersedia menutup kesalahan anak jantannya itu. Dibelanya si Tam tu.

Hakikatnya, Miho dulu pun dibuang. Sebesar tapak tangan. Abah kutip dari sebuah restoran berdekatan tempat kerjanya.

Kadang, mereka yang pernah merasa ja yang tanpa berfikir panjang bersedia menghulurkan bantuan.

Archi #25 - ENTSCHULDIGUNG

'Ich kann es nicht mehr.'
'Keine Sorge. Nach dem Erschwernis kommt die Erleichterung. (94:6)'

Apabila dia yang 'kau rasa' paling jauh dengan agama cuba menenangkan kau dengan sepotong (terjemahan Jerman) ayatNya.

Dan apabila kau mula sedar, judgement yang kau lontarkan pada dia selama ni, walaupun ianya sekadar di dalam hati dan tak dilafazkan pun, ia tetap dikira judgement.

Masalah manusia #10 - KERING

1) Akaun kering (baca: minus utk bulan ke-3)

2) hati kering (baca: Sorry not sorry aku tak layan drama takda market. Tak payah susah2 jual kat aku. Not buying. Simpan saja gossip2 umpatan anda. Kalau rasa boleh bawak ngadap tuhan, ha silalah semua tu angkut sekali masuk kubur. Kot-kot kau ingat ada malaikat interested nak dengar.)

3) semester kering (baca: drop satu studio sebab x mampu dah nak push. Exhausted. Extend lagi sem...)

4) Ibadah kering (baca: mana pergi semua yang sunat selama ni kau pulun? Tinggal wajib ja...)

5) Motivasi kering (baca: gagal cubaan untuk mengawal depression... Ya Allah kenapa payah sangat ni)

6) badan kering (baca: constant dehydration)


Nota kecil: There are some people you just feel like to vomit seeing their faces. Like literally. All their characters burst out from every inch of their faces, from the eyes, the mouth everywhere. They just cant hide it. And you just cant help but to notice it. Pure disgust.

BRAIN FACTORY

Came across this from Fil's IG and found it so relevant till this day

"And the people in the houses,
all went to the university,
where they were put in boxes,
and they came out all the same,
and there's doctors and lawyers,
and bussiness executives,
and they're all made out of ticky tacky,
and they all look just the same."

Kita berdoa. Lalu Allah hantarkan insan-insan disisi kita yang kita sangkakan akan membantu kita capai impian, matlamat, doa kita selama ini. Bila tak dapat apa yang kita doakan, kita tersentak. Dah kenapa Allah hantar mereka ni untuk aku? Bukan depa tolong capai goal pun...

Walhal Allah menghantar mereka buat kita
menjawab doa kita
untuk menjelaskan
itu sebenarnya bukan goal kau.
Mari sini Aku tunjukkan yang lebih baik.

Masalah manusia #9 - PERASAN

There's a fine line between direct and sarcasm. A german can be direct. But a malay could pretend that he/she kononnya adopt german's direct attitude and channel it in the most sarcastic way, paihtu claim kata hang direct.

Thoughts #15 - MAßSTAB

We live in a world where things are either so overrated or so underrated.

Aku: Dok sembang dengan Iju, come up dengan idea yang agak cool.

Kristina: Apa dia?

Aku: Ambil pengkhususan military. Iju dok mention pentagon, etc. Bahaya ke kau rasa?

Kristina: kalau kau design military building n military base untuk aku, kau orang 1st aku terpaksa bunuh.

Vienna #24 - SOALAN #23

Adakah aku baju-baju yang mewangikan atau cardigan yang diwangikan itu? Atau, bukan dua-duanya sekali.

Busuk, membusukkan atau dibusukkan.

Vienna #23 - tukang besi vs penjual minyak wangi

1Cardigan agak busuk yang lupa untuk dibasuh sekali bersama baju-baju lain itu aku lemparkan kembali ke dalam bakul. Bakul yang sama aku gunakan untuk mengangkat baju-baju bersih lagi wangi daripada dryer.

Seminggu tertunggak misi melipat baju. Time lipat baju baru sedar cardigan yang belum dibasuh itu masih di dalam bakul.

Aksi spontan mencium baunya. Hmm... wangi.

WWK #9 - BLIND

Di suatu petang, makan malam terakhir sebelum dia bergelar seorang isteri:

"Ada satu scene dlm cerita sci-fi ni aku tengok dengan stefan, dia macam ni:

Inside a lab was a newly wed wife of a scientist (A) and the scientist research partner (B).

A: what exactly is this experiment?

B: we attempt to give the creature of what they don't have.

A: meaning?

B: say if a human being can't fly, we grow wings on them. If a cow is colour-blind, we fix the eyes. This worm right here, is our first experiment. Worms have no eyes, so it can't see. We want to develop eyes in them.

A: so you try to play god...

B: I don't believe in god. I believe in science.

There was a silent. The wife was looking at the worm.

A: the worm has no eyes right?

B: no.

A: so it can't see the light.

B: no.

A: it never even knew light exist.

B: no.

A: even though light does exist.

Jaya #2 ; Archi #24 - REVIEW

Task 1, 80-100 words. Comments and/or interpretation on 'Architecture as Experience' (pg. 4-7):

" 'It is not what a building looks on its opening day, but what it is like thirty years that matters.' - Finish Architect Alvar Aalto. This strong statement quoted from the text, in my opinion, sums up the four-page discussion on 'Architecture as Experience'. His statement not only questions the functionality of a building and its interpretation of the current society (which is discussed widely in the text) but also challenges its sustainability and adaptibility in the future. Architecture is a physical translation as well as a reflection of a society. With the rapidly developing social and living standard of a society, architecture faces many challenges in welcoming as well as adapting to the new wave. It serves as a bridge of time lapse. It is through architecture that we are able to experience a bit of the taste of the great past and the projection of the future of human existence."

That moment, after 6 years of german and you have to submit a 100-words essay in english. 100 ja pun, tapi tak ku sangka aku masih boleh menulis dalam bahasa inggeris. Rasa macam otak digerudi. Pehnaht.

ORIENTED

'pencapaian akedemik tu bukanlah penentu berjayanya hidup seseorang itu atau pun tak. Kita ada banyak manusia-manusia pandai keluar daripada universiti dalam dunia ni tapi end up being someone yang manipulative, menindas dan tak pernah kisah pun pasal orang lain. [...] Kejayaan sepatutnya diukur dengan sejauh mana seseorang itu mampu menyumbang kembali kepada masyarakat.'

Matlutfi90 - Vlog: Soalan Ramalan Pasca SPM

DM #8 - SPM

It pains me to the core to see how people embrace and celebrate the As.

Ilusi buaian mimpi. The false hope.

Masalah manusia #8 - 'AKU TAK KUAT' 'AKU LEMAH'

Sedangkan mereka yang kurang upaya turut berusaha semampu boleh.

Ibarat kisah sang burung berulang-alik mencedok air dengan paruhnya, cuba memadamkan api yang membakar Nabi Ibrahim.

Bila ditanya, mana mungkin dengan air diparuh mu dapat memadamkan api itu?

Sekurang-kurangnya aku telah mencuba dengan segala kudratku, ia menjadi saksi dihadapan Allah nanti.

Paling best aku rasa, burung tu sure tak tau pun Allah dah perintahkan api tu jadi sejuk untuk Nabi Ibrahim.

Masalah manusia #7 - GENERASI PENULIS

Penulis cerpen pendek, the critical thinkers throwing sincere questions be it rhetorical or not.

Mereka yang keluar daripada kepompong drama buaian mimpi ilusi sendiri.

Mereke yang sedar perubahan tak kan mungkin berlaku dengan mengomen, melontarkan pandangan bernas (sekali lagi ilusi sendiri), mengutuk, meluat dan membenci. Di atas meja makan sambil menikmati rezeki Tuhan.

Mereka yang sedar perubahan tak kan mungkin terjadi dengan hanya memuji-muji kejayaan orang lain sambil dengan mudah mengucapkan kata-kata : "Alhamdulillah... inilah dia harapan bangsa. Moga kau kuat dan berjaya mengubah ummat." ... senangnya kau melepaskan tanggungjawab ke atas bahu orang lain, hanya kerana dia mahu untuk keluar dari kepompong dan bekerja. Walhal kita semua khalifah (2:30).

Tanya diri, terencat akal kah kau? Kudung kah kau? Tempang? Buta? Pekak? Miskin kah kau?

Jika tidak, maka bergeraklah!

Sedangkan mereka yang kurang upaya turut berusaha semampu boleh...

WWK #9 - BALING BUNGA

Suatu petang di talian Skype AT-DE:

'Aku dah beli baju kahwin masa kat Russia minggu lepas, dengan mak aku.'

'Waaaah!!'

'Warna dia putih, cream-cream.'

'Waaaah!!'

'And bila aku sampai Vienna nanti kita kena cari kasut kahwin aku.'

'Waaaah!!'

'And aku nak bagitau kau ni pasal wedding nanti. Time pengantin kena baling banquet bunga, aku nak baling kat kau. Kau kena sambut!'

'Waaaah!!'

'Kau tahu tak maksud dia apa, siapa yang dapat tangkap bunga tu, she will be the next one to get married.'

*pengsan*

To many kejutan in one call...

Ameen #6 - ANOTHER WENDEPUNKT

Skype dgn Yam, cerita habis semua ke dia apa jadi harini.

'Selagi awak tak overcome test yang ni, awak tak kan dapat apa yang awak nak.'

'Siapa dia nak tentukan uda boleh dapat ke tak apa uda nak?! ... then again, uda yang set the situation like that.'

'See?'

Hijrah diri. Turning point.

Vienna #22 - DAH TIBA, DER WENDEPUNKT.

Something knocked out my heart
saying that
whatever I've learned
all these while
would be nothing
if I don't put it to practice.

You could claim you understand it
a thousand times
but as long as you don't do it
you actually don't quite get it.

Cukuplah dengan bercakap lebat, Huda.
Dah tiba masanya.

The Turning Point.

Vienna #21 - TOO LATE

Try picture this in your head:

1) " Dan orang-orang yang kafir, bagi mereka neraka Jahanam. Mereka tidak dibinasakan hingga mereka mati, dan tidak diringankan dari mereka azabnya. Demikianlah Kami membalas setiap orang yang sangat kafir."

2) "Dan mereka berteriak di dalam neraka itu, 'Ya Tuhan kami, keluarkanlah kami (dari neraka), nescaya kami akan mengerjakan kebajikan, yang berlainan dengan yang telah kami kerjakan dahulu.' (Dikatakan kepada mereka), 'Bukankah Kami telah memanjangkan umurmu untuk dapat berfikir bagi orang yang mau berfikir, padahal telah datang kepadamu seorang pemberi peringatan? Maka rasakanlah (azab Kami), dan bagi orang-orang zalim tidak ada seorang penolong pun."

3) "Sungguh, Allah mengetahui yang ghaib (tersembunyi) di langit dan di bumi. Sungguh, Dia Maha Mengetahui segala isi hati.

4) Fatir 35: 36-38

Kalau rasa tak boleh nak imagine sangat macam mana depa berteriakan dalam neraka, dengar cara Smeagel jerit time kena seksa dalam cerita Lord of The Rings pun dah cukup kot. Tu pun 0.00000001 % ja kot.

Vienna #20 - SYUKUR

Attitude orang masuk syurga:

1) " (Mereka akan mendapat) syurga 'Adn, mereka masuk ke dalamnya, di dalamnya mereka diberi perhiasan gelang-gelang dan emas dan mutiara, dan pakaian mereka di dalamya adalah sutera."

2) "Dan mereka berkata, ' Segala puji bagi Allah yang telah menghilangkan kesedihan dari kami. Sungguh, Tuhan kami benar-benar Maha Pengampun, Maha Mensyukuri,

3) yang dengan karunia Nya menempatkan kami dalam tempat yang kekal (syurga); di dalamnya kami tidak merasa lelah dan tidak pula merasa lesu."

4) Fatir 35: 33-35

They are just too thankful, too happy that God does forgive them. They are thankful that He except all their effort, penat, semua just to be with Him. Exhausted kot dunia ni.

WWK #8 - SUPPORT

'I passed structural engineering and wing assembly'

'I'm so happy for you.'

'With a 3 and a 2.'

'Noooo... Oh my God, that's so great.'

*                     *                     *

1) Teringat sem lepas, sem paling killer setakat ni, dengan 4 studio dan workshop. Ditambah dengan lecture-lecture yang tak mampu nak cover. Usrah kita dan usrah adik-adik lagi. Adik-adik tak mau reply message tak payah cerita la.

3) Rahang kejang, sakit belakang, muka sakit, migrain, emosi swing, overnight di TU, tiap kali balik rumah berat dada, bercucuran air mata, rasa keseorangan yang teramat, depression and loneliness , sakit bahu dan tangan akibat mengangkut dan membina model ke sana ke mari, dan lain-lain kejadian buatkan badan tak mampu tampung stress.

4) To the extend that kau minta satu ja dekat Allah, Allah aku pohon Kau, tolong jangan bagi aku gila. Dont ever let me loose my sanity, please. Send me your support.

5) Dan Allah makbulkan doa ku. Doa ummi, abah iman yam. Kristina datang stay hampir sebulan kerana pembedahan gigi di sini untuk kali ke-3 tak silap aku. Dia tak dapat tolong banyak dengan kerja. Dia sendiri lemah, lepas pembedahan gig. But the moral and spiritual support was there.

6) Ada sekali tu, aku balik penat sangat. Exhausted. Dalam otak tak payah cerita. Tengok Kristina terbongkang atas katil dengan mulut bengkak pasca pembedahan.

7) Hari yang sama, aku bertengkar dengan Kristina. Hal kecil, tapi aku rasa sakit sangat. Mungkin sebab fragile waktu tu. Kami tengah tonton movie waktu tu. Aku ambil bantal dan terus baring mengadap laptop.

'It wasn't that bad what I said, ok.'

'Then I guess I'm too fragile, huh?' balasku secara sarkastik. Suara dah mula pecah. Aku tahan air mata.

'Let's just watch the movie. Or you don't want anymore?'

'Can you please put your hand over my head. Please...'

8) Dan dia letakkan tangannya di atas kepala ku. Terus bercucuran air mata jatuh. Bukan setitik-setitik, tapi deras macam pili air paip yang dibuka. Tangisan paling senyap aku pernah buat. Bantal basah habis. Kristina terus mengusap kepala ku berkali-kali tanpa menyedari kondisi aku ketika tu.

9) Aku tak boleh berhenti menangis. Bukan sebab aku sakit hati atau sedih dengan keadaan serabut aku, dan bukan sebab aku bertengkar dengan Kristina.
Tapi sebab aku terlampau bersyukur Allah hantar dia di sisi ku tika tu. Terlampau bersyukur.

10) Patutlah syukur tu sangat penting. Dan patutlah orang-orang yang masuk syurga lupa terus kepayahan mereka di dunia. Baru ku tahu, perasaan bersyukur ni boleh mengatasi semua negativiti dalam hidup.
