Chasing Heaven

I remember when I was still studying in UIA, Neelofa's name was here and there when the media kept covering issues about her. That was due to her winning of Dewi Remaja 2010/2011. Since then, I started following her career. 


Something about her that made me make one of my favourite idols, after DS Siti Nurhaliza. Well, I have a lot of other favourite artistes, but favourite idols, only a few. 


She embarked her journey in the entertainment industry as someone who was daring, brave and strong. She used to be associated with a lot of wild stories/gossips but they never change my mind not to keep loyal for being a fan of her. 


I knew it. I made the right decision. After so many years, I have been witnessing her transformation from the old Neelofa to the new Neelofa. A true fan can relate this. 


Yesterday, she again moved the world by posting a picture of herself wearing "niqab". Her journey to be a better muslimah is really inspiring. She's got it all, guys. She has been/done with so many things in the world. All that make her a very highly influential person today. I wish one day I can be as strong as her and be a better version of myself.


I agree that, someday, there will be a point in our life where we feel like, what else do we want from the world? Dunniya? We are all going to die and next, what will be our place in the afterlife? Heaven or hell? 


The world is the place for us to chase the heaven. What Neelofa has been showing, done all the way to all of her followers is just one thing: encouraging everyone to chase Jannah, the heaven. She's striving herself to be a better Muslimah because she wants the Jannah for her. And if anyone from her followers does.the same thing like hers, the benefits are not just for her, but for the doers themselves. Isn't that good for everyone? 


Let's pray that we can also become a better Muslim/Muslimah some day. We shouldn't stop learning.

Rest in Peace Dear Grandma

A lot have happened recently. At some point, I just cannot think and deal with it anymore. I'm afraid I could not be able to bear it, but Allah will never test His servants with anything they cannot bear. A week before my grandmother passed away, I went back to my hometown with my brother and sister-in-law and nephew as I received a call from mother that she wasn't able to sit, eat and do things due to extreme fatigue. It had been a week since that happened but I was sticked to my plan that I wanted to go back to my hometown before Eid-ul-Adha. 20th July 2019 At 10-ish am, my brother arrived with my s-i-l and nephew. I asked him to drive my car as I really wanted my Dad to test drive it anyway. As usual, a journey on the road is always tiring. 6 hours drive and we managed to arrive home at 10 minutes to 7pm.  I just went straight away checking on my mom's condition and saw how weak she was. I couldn't tell everything here but that's what happened. I did...

Jakarta - Bandung Trip 2019 (Part 1)

As mentioned in my previous post, I had my birthday treat by visiting a country, Indonesia. I had this trip done with my ex-housemates back at Grace Court some years ago when I first moved to Kota Kinabalu. Thank you Ana and Farah for having me on this trip. I will start by posting about Jakarta in this post and Bandung in the next post. So here's how we started our journey. 11th February 2019 (Monday) My flight to KL from KK was supposedly timed at 8.20 pm. However it was delayed for almost 1 hour and 30 minutes. My flight departed from KK around 10.00 pm and I only arrived at KLIA 2 at around 1.00 am. Ana and Farah had already waited for me at the airport. We planned to just stay overnight at the airport while waiting for our next flight to Jakarta in the morning. This was our very first meeting together after so many years. The last time I met Ana and Farah was in 2017. But it was just when both of them came to KK for a short trip and both came in a different time. B...

Burning from the inside

Sometimes, we feel that we can be out of control, sometimes, we can be outrageos or maybe sometimes we just want to be diplomacy.  If not because of respect or promised myself that I do not want to be in hateful environment, I might have just let myself burst out of respect. I do not understand why. If only I could understand why, I might not have to face or have this kind of feeling again.  I tried my best to be nice to everyone, but it's just not enough when you being yourself. Idid everything possible, to help out whichever I can, but I always get treated like "trash". I always get labelled as "this" and "that" after all that I've done. Is it not enough? I mean, why?  I have feelings, forgodsaken. Don't they think I have feelings at all? I feel hurt, burn from the inside. But I cannot express it out. I can't tell or talk cuz I am afraid it would make things worst.  Whatever they wanna say or label me, I am just gonna stay silent. I don...
