salam to all~ how’s the first week of the new year??
heh, i started out the year thinking that i will be able to get some rest, and concentrate on certain projects which NEEDED to be completed.

I AM SO WRONG.

January 2008 turns out to be a busy month! a busy month! and now i’m almost having a nervous breakdown or some mental worry disease. it’s almost like during my uni years when i have to complete assignments and have tests and there’s the societies stuffs needed attention to all at once!!! seriously.

but let’s not fret. i just need to find some time to do all this stuff. and i will.

i have the neut. datas. ahp. py. yan. teens. iask. and then there’s the driving tests. need to read up la sey!!

i would like to give my piece on a this female malaysian singer. popular of course. everywhere and everyone seems to love her. she’s a datuk, as well as a datin. need i say more?

so anyway, she performed hajj last year. waa, everyone needs to know she went for hajj! look people! i’m going for hajj! like i care??
and news reported she brought an LV bag~ need to know that?? the fact that she brought an LV bag puts me off, you’re going hajj, i thought hajj is all about sacrifices and rendah diri mode? putting yourself low for you’re going to a place so sacred, it gives me goosebumps talking about the place and the history it bears within its ground.

and the fact that the reporter finds it IMPORTANT to include that piece of news that in her report? like who cares what bag she brings?? she’s going for hajj, not some red carpet fashion award show!!

so after some time i forgot that she even went hajj. and then i read the newspaper today, and on the what, third page? there’s a column on who else? the datuk hajjah herself. oh look! she’s wearing tudung now and everyone must know that ok! datuk k lets her wear tudung! yey!! this is important news. i was going to say Alhamdulillah, maybe she is the role model that everyone seeks in her. but wait.

the tudung is not just any tudung ok. it’s specially designed la beb! by some chinese datuk fashion designer! first it’s important to know she’s wearing tudung. then it’s important to know that the tudungs she’s going to wear is designed~ can’t you wear just any other tudung?? tak faham ah, kenapa tudung pun nake kena design special?? and from the small pic featured in the newspaper, she’s like wearing those pashminas, what so special about it?? heyy tolong ah, kalau dah pegi haji tuh, buat cara orang gi haji ah, you don’t have to flaunt it all!! entah eh, rasa macam penyanyi ni dah tak macam dulu la. not the rendah diri kind of person anymore. you have got to flaunt it datuk datin!!!

again, who cares if she’s wearing designer tudungs (and i thought there’s only designer bags, designer jeans and etc) or wearing one even.

putting this aside, i think most people who went to hajj now knows the significance and the importance of performing hajj. that it’s all about submitting yourself throughout the journey to God, cleansing your heart and mind and that everything that happens, is truly between you and God. and i hope to see people who already went for hajj, be a better, humble person. that’s the whole point. to be humble. you have been chosen to perform the fifth pillar of Islam. and chosen to return back home safely (when everyday, people are dying, losing a friend, family member) and you are here standing and breathing. don’t ruin it by being proud. sesia. Wallahu a’lam.

welcome the new Hijrah year.

a migration
to purity
to humbleness
to happiness
to better days
in HIS embrace.

we’ve been dreaming for so long…
