Knowledge

         I believe being 'unknowledgeable' is much better than being dishonest. But in today's academia, honesty has become too subjective for most people. Some even view it as irrelevant in order to succeed. Cheating or coffee & pasta for example has become a standard method to acquire good grades. For every civilization is built upon knowledge and crumble due to destruction in values of humanity, the fate of our future generation is worrisome unless this generation redefine what 'knowledge' actually is.

Nasib tomato

Mesin pengisar yang kosong
Sebijik tomato hancur
Amarah yang padam
Dengan cita-cita yang kabur

Sajak dari seorang pencinta Aqsa!

Maafkan aku.. saudaraku..
Ketika kau susah, aku tiada di sisimu..
Ketika kau kebuntuan, aku tiada memberi cadangan..
Ketika kau terluka, aku tidak mampu merawatnya..
Ketika kau bersedih, aku tidak mampu menghapusnya..

Maafkan aku..
Kerana aku tidak mampu hentikannya..

Kerana aku tidak mampu menghalangnya..
Kerana aku tidak mampu melawannya..
Kerana aku tidak mampu menghapus segala derita..

Percayalah saudaraku..
Walau kita tidak pernah bersua..
Walau kita tidak pernah berbicara..
Doaku tidak pernah putus untukmu..
Kasihku masih kekal milikmu..

Percayalah saudaraku..
Tuhan masih bersamamu..
Ini cuma dugaan untuk imanmu..
Kuatkanlah semangatmu..
Cekalkanlah hatimu..

Saudaraku..
Walau kau hilang anakmu..
Jangan kau lupa Tuhan yang satu..
Janji Tuhan itu pasti untukmu..
Kerana Syurga itu tempat terbaik untuk bayimu..

Al-Fatihah :'(

Di bawah langit-Mu

Di bawah langit-Mu bersujud semua

Memuji memuja asma-Mu

Dan bertasbih semua makhluk-Mu tunduk

Berharap Cinta dan Kasih-Mu

Dan bertasbih semua makhluk-Mu tunduk
Berharap Cinta dan Kasih-Mu

Am I pushing the limit?

While watching this talk by Joshua Evans, something struck me when he told about how his grandmother told him  '... and you're pushing the limit....God has something for you, and He want you to get it, but you're pushing it'.

I start to ponder and remember a thing that I heard in one of Mufti Ismail Menk speech. He was speaking about the lessons we can learn from the story of Nuh@Noah 'Alaihis Salaam where Allah give us signs and reminders in a definite number of times or to a certain time point. We have all the chances of repentance and to be forgiven by His grace until we reach that limit. This make me think of how much signs and reminders have we been neglecting and each time we turned away our heart hardens and our spirituality faints. It is not in which religion we were born that matters, but in what state we will die as. And i pray that myself and my parents, my whole families, all my friends, all my teachers and all my neighbor will die as a true Muslim, the 'one who submits to God'.

like Tea

Tea after tea

Warm as fine China silk

But colder is better

Turn bitter face bitter

Dive floating vest dive

Go deeper and deeper

Swim by dolphin or mermaid

To your home mr.Hlovate

Thick as South China Sea

Black as harsh Borneo coal

Regrets.... like tea

Brew bitter and cold

- Adapted from Dawud Wharnsby

A poem

I love being a Traveler

Wandering in places I'm not familiar.

like a foreigner,

awe by the thing I discovered

expanding my horizons farther.

And to be A foreigner of this world is what I want to be,

because its not here where Im going to stay forever..
