..because its not easy being me..

I love my life. I really do. But just because I love it does not mean that I live it in a smooth sailing life with a fairy tale kind of ending. It was not. Trust me. Those fairy tale kind of ending meant for a fairy only and thats why they called it a fairy tale not a human tale.

In a human tale,
you were not born with a silver spoon in your mouth. You have to work for it. No such thing as free lunch. Nobodies born as a princess except 'the princess'.

In human tale,
you have to think about your future. What you want to do and what you want to be. Its always in need of a series of brainstorming and brainwashing and reverse psychology. No family empayar that you just have to take your turn and run it.

In human tale,
you have to choose between two things thats not obvious which one is better so you always end up making a wrong decision. No true or false scale and of course cannot judge it according to one look (as bad things always been drawn ugly in fairy tales).

In human tale,
you suffers a multi million type of emotions and stumble around over and over again until the end of the day. Not just a basic fairy tales emotions where you were either happy or..happy.

In human tale,
there is no fairy god mother to help you make your bed or finish up your chores or simplify your day. You dont even have a pet who can talk!

In human tale,
you don't marry a prince! (yeah..okay..except for Kate Middleton.duh!) not only that, you don't even meet the prince to start with.

BUT

what I can say is..

To be a human,
you were given a choice either to lead your life like a princess or better off a king or a queen. Because its your own life we're talking about.Its up to you how you mold it. You may not be a princess to a kingdom but you are a princess to your friends, families and everyone around you. Take charge!

To be a human,
you were meant to be creating your own path be it in career, lifestyle or futures. Why take up others empayar if you can create one by your own? Be independent!

To be a human,
you can let go of your emotions out loud. Freedom of expressions can be in many ways. Write it, draw it, talk about it, ramble it, cry over it, get up when you fall, jump high when you win, sleep, eat, run, do whatever you want as long as you keep living and standing, you're a winner. Be strong!

To be a human,
you have Allah to help you. The almighty Allah is the only one who can help you in this life. Just pray for it. You have Al-Quran and sunnah as your guidance and reference. Learn it and never leave it. And you still have your pet although not to help you but to give you something to cuddle and its cute! Be positive!

To be a human (not Kate Middleton!),
you have your own fair share of happiness. You may not marry a prince but you can choose to marry a nice person who you can count on and can make you as happy as a princess in a fairy tale where they live happily ever after.( you can even marry in a pumpkin carriage and the white horse if you want to. seriously! ) because to have a successful relationship is not about finding the right person, but learning to love the person you found. At the end of the day, love is a decision and not just a feeling. God determines who walks into your life BUT its you who decide who you let to walk away, who you let to stay and who you never let GO! Be happy!

mak and abah,
I wouldn't be here if not because of both of you. I would probably left law school long time ago if not because of your moral support. Thanks for those hard work to convince me that this is the right place for me. Thanks for those motivational talk every single moment. Thanks for listening to my ramblings. Thanks for comforting me whenever I had those stressful moment. Thanks so much from the deep of my heart for everything that I failed to mention here. Thank you for being such a great parents.

my kakak and two adik,

Thanks for being such a wonderful siblings cum bestfriends, for being the most loyal people and stand beside me through thick and thin (although you guys had no other choice but to be there as we are siblings..haha), for showing me that a failure is never a failure but just a second chance for us to keep going, for your understanding as I can be a little bit intolerable sometimes and for your honest comment that somehow grown me up. Thank you for being my kakak and my adik-adik (but we were more like happy friends living together..^^)

You guys are my bestfriends, roomates, classmates, mooting partners, groupmates assignments and everything that we can possibly be during the past 6 years..and counting! Thanks for become a shoulder for me to lean on, thanks for wiping my tears and listening to my sobbing, thanks for letting me cry randomly, thanks for keep supporting me throughout my failures and be there throughout my success, thanks for being my comrade to walk through this journey. congratulations,at last we all made it together. All our hard work were paid for!

my classmates,partners,seniors,juniors,girlfriends and boyfriends,
yeah..whomever you are im glad you all were once there to keep this life more interesting. my student's life would not be this interesting if none of you were there . seriously! we met we not understand why but we learn something more than money can buy and more than life can trade. Thank you for willing to be a part of my life story.

Kisah jodoh

Jodoh itu salah satu rezeki dari Allah. salah satu rahsia Allah yang sampai bila-bila pun kita takkan dapat tahu apa yang tersirat di sebaliknya. Yang kita sedar hanya the fact that indeed jodoh itu datang dan pergi tanpa sebarang warning beforehand. yang ada ditangan kita hanyalah pilihan sama ada untuk mengenggam rezeki jodoh itu atau membiarkan ia pergi. still at the end of the day kita tak akan tahu pun keputusan apa yang terbaik sebenarnya. Hanya perlu yakin yang segala yang berlaku tentu ada hikmah di sebaliknya.

Jodoh itu datang dalam pelbagai bentuk. persahabatan, persaudaraan, kekeluargaan, jodoh sebagai guru dan murid, jodoh sebagai bos dan pekerja ataupun yang paling menjadi hukum norma adalah jodoh sebagai suami isteri.

setelah jodoh itu hadir, ada sesuatu lagi yang belum kita pasti dan tak mungkin akan kita pasti sampai bila-bila, iaitu sampai bila jodoh itu akan dapat bertahan. Bukan kerana salah sesiapa tetapi memang itu yang telah ditetapkan. sekali lagi dijelaskan bahawa jodoh itu rezeki, dan rezeki itu mungkin hak kita untuk jangka masa yang lama dan boleh jadi jugak hanya untuk sementara.

Jadi, dapat disimpulkan disini bahawa, apabila rezeki jodoh itu hadir dalam apa jua bentuk sekalipun, jangan begitu mudah menolaknya tanpa usul periksa juga jangan terlalu taksub mendakapnya tanpa sebarang batasan. Bersederhanalah dan bersyukurlah. Selagi rezeki itu ada dalam genggaman jagalah ia sebaiknya kerana kita tidak tahu bila waktunya ia akan ditarik balik dari genggaman, dan bila rezeki itu ditarik balik, redhakanlah ia pergi kerana segala sesuatu itu bukan hak mutlak sesiapa kecuali Allah.

Selagi masih bernafas kita di muka bumi ini selagi itu masih berpeluang untuk kita mendapat rezeki dari yang maha esa. selagi terdaya, berusaha, berdoa dan bertawakkal semoga dimurahkan segala rezeki dan dipermudahkan segala urusan. Amin.

p/s; alhamdulillah for today. pray for a better tomorrow.

One more year went by..

Salam maal hijrah,

Kepada diri ini dan seluruh alam.

Either you like it or not, pat your shoulder and praise yourself..'what a great year you had there'. You deserves some credit for still standing and not give up!

Semua orang ada kesusahan mereka sendiri and to not having any problems and difficulties is to not having life at all. So having at least one problem is like a prove that you are indeed living this life.

Jangan takut dengan masalah. Sebab setiap masalah itu datang dengan penyelesaian macam problematic questions in mathematics. You might not see the answer at first glance but you'll get the answer eventually when you try to solve it using the correct formula.

So the main point is that..you just have to know the right formula!

Kalau ada buku living life for the dummies confirm dah jadi bestseller dah kan..tapi the thing is, there is no real formula on how to live life sebab tak ada seorang pun yang sama kisah hidupnya. Kita ada cerita masing-masing dan cerita orang lain itu cuma boleh jadi pendorong untuk kita tahu yang yeah Im not alone.

Walau apa pun cerita anda, walau macam mana pun susahnya hidup anda satu benda yang pasti kena ingat..Allah turunkan ujian itu kerana Dia tahu hambanya itu mampu melaluinya. Allah gave the strongest battle to His strongest soldiers. Survived it and indeed you are a warrior and proud!!

Jadi sempena tahun baru ini, semoga anda menjadi lebih kuat dengan segala ujian yang lepas dan lebih matang dengan segala ujian yang bakal mendatang.

P/s: Ucapan skema ini ikhlas dari saya,
The'shaff'
-the one who always try to win this battle-
