The End Is Near

In 3 days time, I will sit for my final paper in NTU, the last paper I will have to study in NTU. With God's Will, this semester will be my final semester in NTU and graduation. Many of my friends still cannot accept the fact that they are graduating. They will be facing the harsh world out there. No more comfort zone, no more making mistakes, no more slacking and procastinating. Yes, believe it. That is the world out there. Many graduates are used to being shield by the school environment and they have not come to a situation where deadline means money. The life after university is still a white piece of canvas. The first paint may be raw and ugly but insyaAllah the second and future paint will be beautiful with many colours.

Growing up. That is the word to describe what me and my friends are feeling. As I have mentioned before, human dislike changes. We tend to do what it takes to prevent changes from happening. We can't accept the fact that after this we need to find money to support our own life. There will be decision we need to make that will affect the rest of our life. Then there is marriage to think about. No more girlfriends or boyfriends. Previous we may have reason to say that we are still schooling so marriage is out of the question but now that period is over. Much more decision coming our way.

In our eyes, we still feel young. We still want to live as a youth, carefree and no responsibility. Till now we still do childish things like making paper aeroplane and going to level 5 and throw it down. Hehehe... (you know...) We want more time to be given to us for us to enjoy being a youth. Sadly, nothing can turn back time. We are 25 years old, next year we will be 26.

Like it or not, we will grow old. So instead of still trying to relive those old times and refuse to accept the future. Let try to slowly usher in the new episode in our life. The episode that will probably bring us many good memories and experiences. It is time we learn the ropes of adult life. The life with bills, career, wife, children, religion and much more. InsyaAllah, if we keep our faith strong and continue to bring ourselves closer to Allah, He will help us and give us a good life.

Oh you who believe! Seek help with patient, perseverance and prayer, for Allah is with those who patiently persevere.(2:153)

Burp!!!

I just can't stop burpping. And it is causing me to lose my rest. Have you ever had the feeling of something stuck in your chest and you just cannot go to sleep unless that thing in your chest move down to your stomach? Yes, I have been having that problem for a few days now. It will take me like 1hr to 1 and half hour just to get that thing off my chest. Once the thing have move down, I will feel extremely better and able to go to sleep. Is it something I eat? Or is it that my esophagus is getting smaller and cause food object to be stuck there. I am becoming like a baby that needs to burp before it can go to sleep. Hahaha...

Other than that... its 22 days to freedom... hahaha.... well so called lah....

I Sit And Wait

Procastination is the mother of all evil!!!! Yes believe me, it is true. I am sure many of you agree with me on this one. When one work comes in, you said to yourself,"Hah, it's ok. It can wait. Tomorrow I will start on it". Then tomorrow came and gone and you still have not done it. Sound familiar? Ok ok... I think I am obsess with procastination.

One man's nightmare is another man's dream. Who believe in that? I believe as a Muslim, one Muslim's dream is the dream of every other Muslim. If your Muslim brother achieve something great, you should also feel proud as a brother in Islam. Jealousy should be the last thing on your mind. In fact you should encourage that brother further and support him in his course of great achievements. We need to stand together as one and united as one. Saying the same shahadah and praying to the same God. We are the Brotherhood of Islam.

At the same time, if our brother does something wrong, something that will tarnish the good name of Islam, we should stop him and help him. Helping him will eventually help ourselves. Helping him so that in turn, Allah will help us. Help him so that Islam will be preserve in its good name. Yet many of us, leave our brothers alone. "Why should I help him, he is not related to me","He is not one of US","We are better than him, he should come and seek our help". Is this the attitude that we as Muslim have? No wonder the Muslim here are over-represented in many bad things.
