waking up from the hiatus.

Assalamualaikum.
You might have noticed that there's always a long gap between two posts.
And this time, I want to say..
this is definitely the longest gap, because it's been a little past two months since I've last been home.
I feel like a student from outside Terengganu, coz it's usually them who skip the mandatory balik-rumah  practice. *shakes head*

p.s. this post was written before the 'ponders' post.






I don't know how to express what I've been through, not that there'd been a lot.
But then.. there's been so much.
Finals? Hmmmmm. Felt better than the past exams I've done. *smile*
Hope things will be better.

It despairs me that there are prejudiced people out there.
People shouldn't set negative, unjust prejudices, especially in terms of class, social status, whatever. No one's better than anyone, that's for sure. It's just unfair that the ones who aren't academically or socially superior are deemed inferior by certain people who think so. They think the so-called inferior ones don't have dreams to better themselves, don't have a specific goal to achieve, will become mindless evils who would ruin the world. In reality, they could be better than the ones who think themselves superior. They have their own talents. They have their own way to contribute to the betterment of the world. I'm sure of that. It's not that they are stupid. No.

Maybe Allah has a better plan lined up for them, who knows? Just because someone isn't able to become a doctor, or an engineer, or a pilot, or live up any professional career, doesn't mean that they haven't succeeded in the course of life. Someone could be a town cleaner, and still be the happiest person in the world without us knowing. Someone could be a garbage collector, and be more blessed than any of us could ever be. It's not impossible, and it's always possible.

And there's the power of Allah accompanied with the blessings of good ol' work. If we really want what we want and we give in our damnedest to obtain it, then we deserve it, InshaAllah. If we happen to not attain what we strove to obtain, then it's probably not the right time yet, or Allah has something better to give. That's life. If the worse happens, something better is yet to come. You might have heard of this for the umpteenth time, over and over again, but


In my opinion we could be anything that we ever want to be and we could succeed in anything as long we make the best of what we do. No matter whatever we want to do (well as long it is halaal in terms of syariat, of course. Don't you go selling crack because you want to be the best crack-seller that the world has ever seen, now that's wrong.)

So guys, be grateful of what you have and make the best of it. Ignore prejudice and avoid yourselves from prejudice. This is a reminder to everyone and to myself as well...
Thanks :)
