how time flies by...



Hmm...dah nak dekat tiga bulan Bie balik Malaysia. Ramadhan pun dah almost halfway through. How time flies by...The real world is not like student life anymore. Everything is fast-paced, no time for leisure. That's why time management is so important now. There's no time to waste anymore. Must plan your life and have a goal for the future. What's my goal? What's your goal? Sure, there will be many obstacles along the way, but those obstacles are lessons that we use so that the future that we plan for can be better and brighter. :)

Today's headline news is quite sad. Five out of seven siblings drowned during a picnic at a waterfall yesterday, somewhere in Gurun, Kedah. All girls! Such a tragedy...I can't imagine what the parents are going through right now. To lose your children is worse than losing anything else. But I think to lose your faith is the worst of all. Losing your faith means losing your belief in God. Once you forget Allah, Allah forgets you, and you don't want that to happen. So please, friends, don't ever lose your faith in Allah. No matter what kind of tragedy befalls, they're tests from Allah. They're signs that Allah remembers you and that He wants to test your patience and faith. Are you strong enough or are you weak? Be strong and you will have His blessings, insya Allah. Fall weak, and you fall prey to the devil's pleas.

Know where you stand in this life. Think about what's important. Have a plan for the future. Return those that don't belong to you to the rightful owner. Admit your mistakes and change yourself for the better. Ask for forgiveness before it's too late. Right the wrongs. Fulfill your promises. Remember how others have sacrificed for you without asking for anything in return. Remember how you repaid those sacrifices or how to repay them. Be selfless, but with the right intentions. Be thankful for the little blessings that actually means a lot. Be thankful that we are so fortunate for the air we breathe. Have feelings. And most importantly, always have faith in Allah. And nothing can go wrong, insya Allah...

"Kerana itu, ingatlah kamu kepadaKu nescaya Aku ingat pula kepadamu, dan bersyukurlah kepadaKu, dan janganlah kamu mengingkari nikmatKu." (Surah Al-Baqarah: 152)
