Mungkin tidak bagi semua wanita tapi sekurang-kurangnya bagi seorang Azzura.<br />
<br />
Untuk seorang gadis yang ada "kepala" sendiri, ada masa rasa takut juga kalau-kalau tak boleh memberi penghormatan/ketaatan selayaknya bagi seorang suami. Jadi itu antara soalan yang aku tanyakan pada diri:<br />
"Bolehkah aku taat kepadanya nanti bila dia jadi suami?"<br />
<br />
Soalan inilah antara soalan yang aku gunakan untuk membuat keputusan sama ada ingin meneruskan sesuatu perhubungan ataupun tidak sebelum ini. Dan takdirNya, tiada yang Dia izinkan. Mungkin Dia juga tahu bahawa aku tak mampu taat pada mereka. Lalu, sebelum ada apa-apa ikatan yg mengikat ketaatan, tidak Dia izinkan. Sama ada dari pihak sini atau sana yang putuskan. Alhamdulillah alhamdulillah alhamdulillah atas semua rencanaNya. Moga Allah memberi yang terbaik untuk semua hambaNya.<br />
<br />
Kemudian, takdirNya menemukan aku dengan seseorang yang akan ku gelar suami, insha Allah dalam waktu kurang 24 jam berbaki (Mohon doa moga semuanya diberkati dan diredhai.) Soalan yang sama aku tanyakan lagi. Tempoh perkenalan aku gunakan sebaiknya untuk memerhati dan memantapkan hati. Alhamdulillah, pada dirinya ada kualiti-kualiti yang aku yakin secara UMUMnya boleh aku serahkan ketaatanku. (Mungkin akan ada masa aku gagal taat, tetapi secara umum, insha Allah dia lelaki yang aku cari)<br />
<br />
Untuk kualiti-kualiti tersebut biarlah aku dan dia saja yang tahu<br />
Cumanya, tujuanku coretkan di sini ialah bagi mengingatkan diri sendiri<br />
Bahawa aku telah memilih dia<br />
Atas sebab kebaikan Tuhan<br />
Dan tanpa sebarang paksaan<br />
<br />
Maka atas dasar itu, moga bila-bila kami ditimpa ujian atau saling berbalahan<br />
Moga kami sentiasa ingat bahawa<br />
Kami adalah tanda baikNya Tuhan<br />
Dan untuk kesemua ketidaksempurnaan sebagai pasangan<br />
Yang penuh dengan kelemahan<br />
Moga-moga mudah untuk kami saling memaafkan<br />
<br />
Takkan mampu cukup syukurku<br />
Atas kurniaNya yang satu ini<br />
<br />
Doakan kami. Moga-moga setiap lafaz doa kebaikan yang kalian lantunkan, Tuhan membalas dengan lebih banyak kebaikan untuk kalian.<br />
<br />
Selamat melangkah ke fasa baru, Abu Bakar<br />
Moga-moga Allah meredhai langkah kita.<br />

CONGRATULATIONS! 😊</div>
<br />
On Sunday, I went to the wedding boutique for the fitting session. I was so excited to see my wedding dress 🥰 They're so pretty and I can't wait to wear it during my big day 🌸<br />
<br />
Last minute of changing the design worth it!<br />
There were some minor things to add on the dress and I'm good to go.<br />
<br />
I also took the opportunity to send my wedding card to my teachers at Kluang High School. The teachers were excited too hehe. I really miss the moments there 🥺<br />
It would be great if they all coming to my wedding ♥️♥️<br />

Dear married Azzura,</div>
<br />
I hope you keep this advice from a single Azzura who knows nothing about married life but very concerned about you being a wife.<br />
<br />
Azzura, know that a husband is someone who you should love, respect and obey as a manifestation of ibadah to Allah. You don't worship your husband.<br />
<br />
Your husband is your imam. Imam is meant to guide the makmum. But remember, imam is also a human. He can make mistakes. So, it's your role to correct him with love and courtesy.<br />
<br />
Azzura, as a wife, be there for him through thick and thin. There will be time you feel down, seek comfort from him so that he will feel needed. And there will be time he feels down, so give him comfort. Remember, both men and women have emotions. Don't let anyone of you suppress it. Discuss about it heart to heart and find ways together.<br />
<br />
Most importantly, love yourself so that you can love him as much. Never let anyone of you to sacrifice at the cost of anyone's loss because a successful relationship should be win-win.<br />
<br />
Azzura, there will be times that he might be so hard to love. During this time, remember that you too aren't always easy to love. Remind yourself about thousand of kindness he has done to you. Mistakes shouldn't make all the good things he did disappear.<br />
<br />
Remember, Rasulullah once said that the Hellfire is filled with ungrateful wives. These wives are ungrateful to the favors and the good deeds done to them by the husband. If the husband always been good to them and then they see something in him that she doesn't like, she will say "I have never received any good from you"<br />
(Sahih Al-Bukhari)<br />
<br />
Therefore, be careful with what you say. Refrain yourself from saying something you would terribly regret.<br />
<br />
There will be times you get angry, frustrated, disappointed or sad with your husband. It's okay to feel that because your feelings are valid. But please...try your best to still be kind even when it's so hard to do so.<br />
<br />
Azzura, you are your own person and he is his own person. You have your own vision in life and he has his own vision too. Therefore, marriage shouldn't stop you from pursuing whatever you wanted to pursue. But, be flexible to the change in plan and decision. Consider many things and discuss with your husband. May Allah always guide you through.<br />
<br />
At the same time, create things you would enjoy doing together. Try new things and explore new adventures. It would be great! Hopefully all those good moments will always stay in your heart and you will always be reminded of all those sweetness insha Allah 🌸♥️<br />
<br />
Azzura, there will be times that you might feel as if you have failed to be a good wife. Oh well, I'm afraid if you're still with your ridiculously high expectations on yourself. During this time, please communicate this with your husband. Ask him if there's anything that you could improve to be better. But be easy on yourself. You need time to improve and change too, right?<br />
<br />
Azzura, someday if Allah wills, you will become a mother. I know you are so worried and scared of the responsibility. The thought of having children has always been amazing but you could never deny the pressure (that you put on yourself 🤦) So, take your time to enjoy your honeymoon period and get prepared in every aspect before conceiving. Invite your husband to join the discussion and preparations too (super important!)<br />
<br />
Azzura, be the person who always appreciate good little things and moments like I have always do. Never lose this precious quality in yourself. Always remember that life isn't always filled with rainbows and sunshine. Sometimes, there will be rain and thunderstorms. Same goes to your married life. But that's the beauty. As long as you both are willing to put efforts together, insha Allah you both will do good 🌸<br />
<br />
Last but not least,<br />
May Allah bless your marriage and shower it with sakinah, mawaddah and rahmah.<br />
May Allah make you the joy and tranquility in your husband's eyes.<br />
May you both always love and care for each other.<br />
<br />
Deep inside my heart, I'm happy for you. I believe that the husband I've chosen for you is the best one. The best doesn't mean the perfect one. It just simply means you both are good enough for each other. And I believe, when you both aren't perfect, so it's easier for you both to gain pahala for being patient to each other and to help each other discover the better version of both selves.<br />
<br />
Till then,<br />
بارك الله لكما وبارك عليكما وجمع بينكما في خير<br />
<br />
You are good to go, Azzura.<br />
All the best in your married life.<br />
I am still you and you are still me.<br />
No matter how much you gonna change after marriage, the core values and principes that I hold all my life will always be inside you insha Allah.<br />
<br />

I met my fiance to exchange hantaran and had some discussion on wedding and marriage.<br />
<br />
It was a fullfilling discussion that washed away some of my worries. It excites me for the day and looking forward to spend my life with him 💍😊<br />

Then, I went to AEON Shah Alam to buy tie and belt for my beloved fiance. I felt so happy buying him tie especially when I imagined him walking with me on my wedding day wearing the tie. I felt like it symbolises the closeness to heart ♥️<br />

<br />
And, the highlight for the day was I bought a fluffy teddy bear for myself! OMG, could never feel any happier than knowing how much I love myself 🤣 and this little thing really made my day. You know how happy I was? I walked from the Kaison to the parking lot smiling. People were looking at me but I smiled like nobody's business 🤭<br />

<br />
I really hope that I would always cherish and enjoy those little moments while it lasts 🌸<br />

<br />
It's already the 5th day of 2020. Alhamdulillah, so far the week went quite well.<br />
<br />
Today, I visited one of my usrahmates kak Mala with her cute baby girl Aaira. Shooo comel! 💖 Usrahmates asked me about the wedding preparation and how I feel. Honestly everything is good, just some little things that haven't settled yet but manageable. Best thing is that when people asked about marriage, I am no longer feel nervous. I'm in the phase of relax. Not much pressure and good to go insha Allah 🌸<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
However, I suddenly felt a bit pressured when thinking about children. Honestly, I don't feel ready for it. I'm ready for marriage, but not yet a baby. So when people asked me about it, I immediately say No 😅 I want children, but not now. Not at the early stage of marriage. I need time to adapt to the changes. And knowing myself, I'd be so overwhelmed when I don't feel ready for it. Being a mom requires a whole new level of readiness. And I know how to measure MY readiness, so no pressure please 👀<br />

After visiting baby Aaira and her mother, I went for a grocery shopping. Right after that, I went to Sahira's house to eat her signature meal : Nasi Ayam!<br />
I tell you, it's super delicious! And I'm shoooo happy to eat the Nasi Ayam. Terharu okay kawan sungguh-sungguh ajak datang rumah sebab nak kita makan masakan dia 🤭<br />

<br />
And, we created a TikTok video just for fun hahahah. It was my first time doing it but I kinda enjoyed it 😆<br />
<br />
After that, I followed them playing badminton. It has been too long since I played any sports with friends. Hehe. I played badminton along but well, ofc banyak kali bulu tangkis jatuh 🤭 but we had great time together.<br />
<br />
After playing badminton, we sat on the bench and had a little bit of conversation about future while watching the sunset. Romantik tak my Sahira and I? 🤣<br />
<br />

<br />
Anyway, tbh I really love my friends so much. I literally do. Every second spent with them is precious you know. So Sahira was asking my opinion about her "prince charming". And I said to her, I don't know him but if he can make you happy and you feel calm and good when you're with him, then you're good to go :)<br />
At the end, it's Sahira who gonna spend her lifetime with her chosen one right?<br />
<br />
And some convesation about having children (again) haha. We both concluded that we women really need time to adapt and yea, ofc we need time to manja-manja dulu after kahwin before planning for a child. Haha<br />
<br />
Then, we went to Vista Alam to play badminton but I suddenly thought of Khadijah heheh. We've been planning to meet but never got the chance so I thought why not? I called Dijah and we met at her house while my other friends playing badminton.<br />
<br />
With Dijah, we talked about her struggles of being a mom for the first time, her experience of labor. Oh well it's about children (again) 😅😂 With her, I feel good to be open on the reasons why I wanted to plan for a baby (because she did the same). She started conceiving after first year of marriage.<br />
<br />
Indeed, it was a productive day. I feel full and content 💖<br />

<br />
Last night, I went to witness the fireworks! It was a good feeling. I mean, I could feel the excitement to celebrate New year. I rarely went out to countdown so I was a bit excited even though at last, we just watched it from the car 🤣<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyOjJb1-IqNUc3HYaN7thKW42FqqFGIgITMIojvt0UgxloynFoEpO6ybrAfCm9-jrxS9G5YOXXi8zi_8TTHew' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
<br />
Anyway, 2019 has left us. Thanks for all the memories and lessons. It was not the best year but not the worst also. So yea, just a usual year that I kept going and learning. If I would say, I think I could see myself growing even though for some, I might still be that "clumsy Azzura" or "childish Azzura" hahahah. But hey, I did see some progression too. Still clumsy and childish and <strike>cute</strike> but more mature compared to 5 years ago kehkeh. *<span style="font-size: xx-small;">Should take some credit I guess</span> 🤭😝<br />
<br />
Hm, this first day of new year is also not so much thing I do. I spent my morning sleeping (lol) 🙄 but I spent my time in the evening meeting Syakirah! (And also coincidentally meeting Khal and Husna also Miss Herna!) It was a good catch up. I love love love meeting people huhu<br />
<br />
To be honest, I don't expect anything this year wahahah. Because I think I should learn to let things go genuinely and not to worry too much. "<i><b>Sis, relax sis</b></i>" is the phrase that my friends and even my fiance said to me 😂 oh God, I'm really an intense person is it. I could feel the happiness with all my heart and I could feel the pain with all my heart too. Hukhuk. I don't know if it's a good thing though 😅 but of course I should learn to tone down a bit? 😬<br />
<br />
Alright, soooo Syakirah gave me a present today! I consider it as both New Year's present and wedding present (not an excuse for her to not come to my wedding. <i>Awas ya!</i>)<br />
<br />
And I love it!<br />
The mantra is : Take time to do what makes your soul happy 💖<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dykA-_fITPyQZnYL0l5_405Xom3bXhT_dyiuSnAlxvmanBo1xpmIs3_CAEKvcpQp0YsdJOuDg8ivSyZSPdONA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
<br />
So, this is what I should do this year.<br />
Take time and BE PATIENT. Breathe. And RELAX SIS, RELAX! 🤣<br />
<br />
Out of so many words of wisdom, this one is what suits me well because Syakirah said, I already got others too much. The other two are :<br />
<br />
"Give credit to yourself, you have done great"<br />
- I guess I already gave too much credit to myself. Until I feel like, "Azzura, you sure you deserve the credit 🙄?"<br />
<br />
"Be yourself" (can't remember the whole phrase)<br />
- All this while, what I heard people say to me is that I'm genuine. I don't fake myself. Hukhuk but sometimes too much of self-revelation also could be detrimental though lol 🙃<br />
<br />
So, yes. Take time to make your <b>soul</b> happy. That's what should I learn. Thank you, Syakirah. See you when I see you again.<br />
<br />
New year but still the same me. The same Azzura but hm, hopefully, a better version of me 😊🌸<br />

<br />
I remember when I was 5, I asked my mom if God is a man and angels are women.<br />
<br />
When I was 10, I remember my friend questioning things like does Allah have hands? How does Allah look like?<br />
<br />
I still remember I was scared of tomorrow (can't remember I was scared of what) but I was thinking that "it's okay, tomorrow will pass too! And I'll be alright."<br />
<br />
When I was 13, I still struggling with my faith. I still have lot of questions and doubts.<br />
Why why why are things like this or like that?<br />
<br />
At the age of 20's, I try to make sense of the concept of taqdir.<br />
<br />
As I grow up, I understand some questions are not worth to be asked because even they are answered, it wouldn't make any difference.<br />
<br />
But still, along the way, there are always questions on my own faith. I mean, I question it. But what I am sure, I'm questioning it to make myself more firm with my faith. To understand my religion better.<br />
<br />
Because as I grow up, I realised that the idea, faith and desire always conflicting each other. When imaan says A, but brain says B and heart says C. How can I incorporate all to make a wise decision and fair judgment?<br />
<br />
When I believe things should be like this, but people do it other way round. When some religious people are doing wrong things and justify it using religion. When people with free lifestyle believes that religion just make people apart. When people are confused which is right and wrong? Which is acceptable or not?<br />
<br />
It's hard to not questioning my faith when everyone and everything is conflicting each other.<br />
<br />
Just a thought. A deep one.<br />
Because at the end, what I want is a blessed life. No matter how hard it is<br />
At the end, what I want is keeping my faith firm.<br />
And at the end, what I want is to totally submit myself to the one and only God.<br />
<br />
May Allah guide us all to the straight path and never let us go astray. Amiin.<br />

<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><u>Alhamdulillah</u>, I'm engaged 💍</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I would love to write about my engagement day ❤️</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">First and foremost, fiance and fiancee come from an Old French words meaning "promise"✋ which ultimately come from a Latin word "fidere" meaning "to trust" 😇</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I would say, engagement is a trust we put on our future spouse to not break this promise 😊🌹</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">To be honest, a decision to get engaged isn't easy for me 🤦. This is a huge decision. Those who know me would say "FINALLY!" But insha Allah I made this decision consciously and firmly 🌸</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">A month before we got engaged, I asked him once again if he is sure about this and he said he's sure. Alhamdulillah, both are sure with each other. I mean, we all deserve someone who is sure about us right? ☺️</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Do pray for us. May all your kind prayers will go back to you in a better way 😊</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">P/s: some people might think that I shouldn't be too hype about this as this isn't 100% sure. But, I guess it's good to enjoy the present moment and to take note about the journey. We pray for the best and for the goodness. I should be reminded of how grateful I am to get engaged with this man and to know his family 🌸</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Therefore, when there might be unpleasant things happen in between (Allah will definitely test us), I would always be reminded, I never regret taking this decision. Remember what Gottman (relationship psychologist) said : for every 1 negative interaction during conflict, a happy couple should have 5 (or more) positive interactions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Moga kekal dalam ketaatan kerana fitrah cinta itu suci dan tak dicemari dengan derhaka kepada Ilahi✨</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Alright, that's the end of the post for my engagement day. Insha Allah I'll write again about the journey when we both finally making a sacred contract (mitsaqan ghalizo) 🌸 Pray for us and may the angels will pray for you too 🌹</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Assalamualaikum. </span></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It has been so long since I wrote here. So hi! Ramadhan Mubarak. </span></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I don't know if I'll be consistent to write anything here in Ramadhan but since today is the first day of Ramadhan, </span></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I guess I should write something (sementara masih ada semangat huks 😶)</span></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Right. Last night I went to Masjid nearby my house to perform tarawih. </span></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Don't you think time flies so fast? Ramadhan this year is quite a surprise. I mean we were all expecting it but for me...I didn't do much preparation even though I got something in my mind on what I want to achieve this Ramadhan. </span></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I read my friend's status saying that she feels a bit lonely this Ramadhan because she celebrated it alone (she just started working this year). I can relate very well. That's what I feel too. Semalam rasa lonely sebab pergi terawih sorang-sorang <img alt="😂" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f602" data-image-whitelisted="" goomoji="1f602" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f602" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;"> I just got back from shopping Kurma and stuffs then terus pergi masjid. My roommates went to Masjid together hee. </span></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Anyway ya...It felt different yesterday because since so many years I was celebrating Ramadhan either with my family or friends. Okay I admit that yesterday I really felt like crying. I did shed my tears (sikit je la nangis tu. Takdalah nangis sangat) </span></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It just that my heart feels something that I couldn't describe. The feeling of longing to the good old days. I miss everyone literally. But reflecting to those old good days, I'm so so much grateful that I experienced it before. I feel so blessed. May Allah keeps sending me good people whom I will cherish and makes my life worth living 💓</span></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Apart from that, maybe I'm not prepared enough but I do looking forward to experience this journey. Ramadhan journey. I'm expecting that I'd learn something. I don't know what Allah wants to teach me this Ramadhan.</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"><br></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: center;">That's just my diary for the first night of Ramadhan. I hope I'm motivated enough to keep on sharing here. </span></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Bye. Ramadhan Mubarak again. </span></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Thanks for reading <img alt="😁" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f601" data-image-whitelisted="" goomoji="1f601" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f601" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;"></span></div>

<br />
Alhamdulillah, we have been celebrating Eid this past few days. I just want to throwback on what happened during Ramadhan this year :)<br />
<br />
This year's Ramadhan is a bit different from the past years. It was not the best for me, but it's unique and different.<br />

This Ramadhan, I spent most of the days with the children in Haneen Firdous. It was a really wonderful experience. Some of the things I'm grateful for:<br />
<br />
1) Opportunity to teach the children<br />
- Alhamdulillah for this great opportunity to spend time with these adorable girls. We spend time sahur, iftar, terawih, recite Quran together<br />
<br />

4) Listening to a friend's and trying to help out<br />
- I'm still working on this. I listened to her story regarding her abusive relationship and she wanted to fight for her rights. Insha Allah still in progress to help her. Doakan ya!<br />
<br />
5) Seeing small little achievement<br />
- One of the best blessings is seeing the progression of the kids. I could see them progressing to be better. The journey is still a long way to go but I hope we can work together to instill hope in them and make them one of the agent of change in their family and society<br />
<br />
6) Getting lots of supports from lovely people<br />
- This Ramadhan, I got a lot of supports from people emotionally and psychologically to continue doing what am I doing. This is something that I'm so grateful for.<br />

7) Got opportunity to share my experience fasting in Australia at TV Al-Hijrah<br />
- This is really unexpected. It as unplanned. I was called by a friend a day before and I needed to decide on that day. huhu. I wasn't really prepared hahah. That's why if you watch it, there're some questions that I didn't really answer it properly. Whatever it is, it was a great experience!<br />
Thanks to a friend who drives me there! :)<br />

Assalamualaikum,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Disclaimer: This post is just a SHARING note. Of course, it won't be too detailed or complete because parenting is not just theory, but ongoing practice. I'm not a parent myself but I hope by writing this, it'd be beneficial for me in the future and for those who are reading :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last Wednesday, I attended a talk at IIUM on parenting. It was so fruitful and enlightening. Luckily the participants are mostly singles (so I feel belong hahah!). Only 10% are married. I guess the target audience are single guys and ladies because it's a talk for students. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'll summarise the points of the talk here.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h2>
WHAT DOES IT MEANT TO BE A PARENT?</h2>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To be a parent, we need to equip ourselves with multi skills. It's not only about having a baby and we automatically become the mom and dad and equipped with the skills. Parenting skills is a psychological process of understanding ourselves, our spouse and children. It's an ongoing process and Dr. said that we should start long before we get marry (So singles out there, let us learn and start improving ourselves. Reminder to myself, especially huhu).<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h3>
<b>PARENTING STYLES</b></h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
For psychology students who took the parenting course might be familiar with these four styles of parenting. Basically, parenting styles based on two dimensions of parenting behaviour:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Demandingness and Responsiveness</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
[Personally, I believe that it's definitely challenging to be consistent in parenting styles. No one is perfect to practice but what's important is progression. It takes a village to raise children. So, let us all do our part :)]</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>WHEN DO WE KNOW WE ARE READY TO HAVE A CHILD?</b></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The cliche answer for this: There's no specific or right time for everyone. It's like you ask about readiness for marriage, further study, or anything important in your life. When is the right time? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
But Dr. Abd Rahman said, ask ourselves these questions:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i>1) Am I in a good place in life?</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i>2) Am I ready for trade-off?</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Being a parent is a HUGE decision. So, we need to have a time-frame to decide to have a child.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Being a parents is about division of labor: who's going to take care of the baby? (is it only a responsibility of one parent or both? How do you divide the "job"?)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Pregnancy and parenthood is on-the-job-training. No matter how many books you read, when you have a child, it's a whole new thing. It's a practice to be better day by day and it's a lifelong journey.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>SIGN THAT WE ARE READY</b></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Dr. Abdul Rahman provided some signs to know if we are ready. Here are the list:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1) <b><i>SACRIFICE</i></b>: when we are willing to sacrifice for other people and not selfish, it's a good sign. This is important especially in the time of emergency</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
2) <b><i>CAPACITY TO LOVE</i></b>: this is subjective. We need to check ourselves. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
3) <b><i>SELF-CARE</i></b>: eventhough we sacrifice for other people, we know when to treat ourselves well. De-stress ourselves with things that make us happy and relax. To take care of others, we need to take care of ourselves as well :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
4) <b><i>SUPPORT SYSTEM:</i></b> we have good support system or if not, we create one for ourselves because parenting is challenging. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
5) <b><i>OPEN TO LEARN, CHANGE & GROW</i></b>: we are willing to learn and improve ourselves. We don't stay stagnant. We are willing to learn from anyone including our children.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
6) <b><i>RESPONSIBLE</i></b>: we are willing to take the responsibility. We look into our attitude, words, decisions because we know children will indirectly learn from us.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h2 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b style="text-align: justify;">PREGNANCY</b></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Pregnancy is a tough phase for most women. Therefore, we need to make preparations in term of physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual. Dr. Faizah said that this needs to start long before we get pregnant. Basic things like balanced diet, exercising, seeking for knowledge, etc. should be taken into consideration from now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
During pregnancy:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><i>1st trimester</i></b> : mostly we feel weak and lack of motivation to do exercise (this is the reason we should practice from now. huhu <span style="text-align: left;">😓) Take enough proteins, carbohydrates, fruits and vegetables</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><b><i>2nd and 3rd trimester:</i></b> generally, women gain more energy. Can do exercise and cardio training but appropriate to the pregnant women.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">The process of delivery is like being in a war. So, we need to have good stamina.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>ROLE OF HUSBAND DURING PREGNANCY</b></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">1) <b><i>Support your wife</i></b>. Accompany her. During pregnancy, there's hormonal imbalance and your wife might have difficult time to adjust her ups and downs mood. Be supportive.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">2) <b><i>Invite conversation</i></b>. Touch your wife lovingly to release good hormones (oxytocin) which helps to make your wife feels good and relax.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">3) <b><i>Participate</i></b> in activities (household chores)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
4)<b><i> Be patient </i></b>with your wife's mood swings</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
5) <b><i>Read</i></b> and collect information about pregnancy and parenting</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
6)<b><i> Prepare</i></b> for delivery day. All the baby's stuffs put inside one bag. So, when emergency, you won't be panicking</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
7) <b><i>Stay calm</i></b> and help your wife during labor process</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<b>CAN HUSBAND EXPERIENCE SIMILAR SYMPTOMS WHEN WIFE GOT PREGNANT?</b></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Have you ever heard of husband who experience pregnancy symptoms (morning sickness, dizziness, craving,etc.)? It is called as Couvade syndrome. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i>Couvade syndrome</i> is a psychosomatic condition in which the spouse or partner of a pregnant woman experiences symptoms of childbirth or pregnancy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>THEORIES EXPLAINING THE PHENOMENON</b></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i><b>Psychological</b></i>: anxiety of ambivalency to become new father</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><i>Envy</i></b>: Parturition envy. Wife can pregnant but husband can't so he wants to feel it</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i><b>Oedipus complex</b></i>: Father competing with the baby to gain the wife's attention</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Be supportive towards the husband as well. They might also experience post-partum depression and labor pain.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>IS CONFINEMENT NECESSARY?</b></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Confinement is actually a resting period, not the prohibition or restriction from any food or activities. The practice is differ between culture. The aim is to keep the mom and baby healthy. So, we need to know what we should be followed or not.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>POST-PARTUM DEPRESSION</b></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
After the delivery, mom has a difficult time to adjust, especially for the first-timer. It's a tiring and demanding process. Around 8-10% women suffer from post-partum depression.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><i>Biological cause </i></b> : Hormonal imbalance (estrogen), family history of depression, etc.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><i>Environmental cause </i></b>: Breastfeed requires lot of efforts, lose sleep, attention shifts to baby, low support, confinements is not done appropriately</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>HOW TO PREVENT? </b></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1) <b><i>Be alert</i></b>: Identify early sign of depression.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Sleep disturbance, lose appetite, no interest with the baby, hopelessness, lethargic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Post-partum blues is normal, but if it persists, be alert!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
2) <b><i>Get help from doctors</i></b> : Early intervention and medication is important</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

Assalamualaikum.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It has been so long since I write in here. I have not been writing on my blog after my graduation. Adapting process is real and it's sincerely tough 😭</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just like anyone else, after graduation, I spent several months at home hunting for jobs. It feels so dispirited that time. I really feel like I didn't do anything. As a sociable person, not having much interaction with people as much makes me feel so exhausted. At last, I decided to do volunteering + internship at SOLS Health, an NGO that provides mental health service to disadvantaged community.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Eventhough I spent 5 months there, I still feel as if I wasn't doing anything. I also don't know what was I thinking at that time. But what for sure is, I wasn't feel fulfilling. But until I reflect back, then I know I did learn many things there.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is the list of what I have learnt there:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">1) Administration and customer service skills</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alhamdulillah, I never got the opportunity to do this job. As someone who is not that organised, this skill is a step to improve myself. I did feel bored sometimes because this job doesn't really have much interaction with people. But, I guess this is an important skills in the future as well :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">2) Attending FREE psychotherapy sessions</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is one of the best experience there. It is so good to experience being in the therapy session and observe how the psychologists conduct the service. It's helpful when I told the therapist about my issues and she guided me through the process. There's one thing I remember during the session, an analogy of men in an island.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>There was a man stuck in an island, waiting for a boat to rescue him. He was so anxious, keep looking at his watch, wondering when would the rescue comes? He wanted to go for work and he's already late. Then he saw another man on the island was so relax, sipping the coconut water. </i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>He then asked the other man, "Why are you so relax? We're now stuck in this island!"</i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The man asked him, "Why are you so anxious?"</i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>He said, "I'm already late for my work. You know the job pays me $500 per hour. I can't leave my job"</i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The man asked him again, "why do you need that much money?"</i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>He answered, "So, later I can relax in an island while sipping coconut water"</i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The man said, "Isn't that what I do now?"</i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This story is kinda illogical like how do the man stuck in an island, right? lol. But from the story, I conclude that we as human, sometimes have this rigid kind of thinking, IF I HAVE THIS, I will be happy. We are so caught up into achieving more and more but forgot to look at the journey when what matters is the journey. And we always forgot to appreciate the present moment and overlook all the things we have now because we are too focus on getting other things.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

Please do watch this video :)</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>3) Join Psychologist Trainees Group Supervision and Learn from Their Experience</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I was there, I got the opportunity to join their group supervision. It was like a lecture but more interactive because I got to listen to their experience handling therapy sessions. Every week, at least there's one group supervision. Learning through other's experience expands my view about life :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Basically, these are the significant things I learnt at SOLS Health.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
But that's only one part.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The other part of me feels so lonely.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The transition from university life to adulthood life feels so different.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's not that I lose all my friends. We still keep in touch with each other. But, we lack in eye-to-eye interaction. But I really understand that life happens and everyone is busy with life. And everyone is also adapting to this new phase of life. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whatever it is, the loneliness feeling is almost unbearable. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://49.media.tumblr.com/da9d2c423e4a88a4c6fe343f7376ffb3/tumblr_o3vr1u5ry41qmsseoo1_500.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="225" data-original-width="500" height="144" src="https://49.media.tumblr.com/da9d2c423e4a88a4c6fe343f7376ffb3/tumblr_o3vr1u5ry41qmsseoo1_500.gif" width="320" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From the loneliness feeling, everything starts to shatter. One after another. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That was the test for me at that moment. It was seriously tough. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Until that one moment, I lost hope in everything. But, that's one thing about me, even when I said I wanted to give up, I didn't. That's what makes me feel so exhausted emotionally and physically. I don't want to start ranting about my job hunting and interviews that I have attended. That's really a long story. Honestly, I spent A LOT of money for job hunting. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here is my thought and piece of advice to anyone who hunts for a job:<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="_5pbx userContent _3576" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}" id="js_6i" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 6px; text-indent: 0px;">
<div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" id="id_5acb1d322f8579450179979" style="display: inline;">
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i></i></span></div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; display: block; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px 0px 6px; text-align: justify; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>It is a long and tiring journey. Sometimes, you reject the jobs offered for you. Sometimes, the jobs reject you.</i></span></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 6px 0px; text-align: justify; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
And there will be people saying that you are being choosy. But, as long as you know what you want and your priority at that moment, you're good to go. You're responsible for every choice you made.</div>
</div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; display: block; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 6px 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: justify; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
And for me, it's okay to be choosy. But, sometimes, you also need to look at your priority. If your priority is money (because it is seriously important), then you shou<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">ld look for jobs that offer you money. If your priority is the journey to your dream, find job that leads you to that.</span></div>
</div>
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<div style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-style: italic; margin: 0px 0px 6px; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are either one of this:</div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-style: italic; margin: 6px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
1) You don't mind about the pay (given it's sufficient) as long as the working environment is good and you enjoy your job.</div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-style: italic; margin: 6px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
2) The environment is so-so and it's not that enjoyable but you can bear with it and the pay is high.</div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-style: italic; margin: 6px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's always opportunity cost for choice you made. But, try to avoid job that you don't enjoy AND the pay is low just for the sake of having a job.</div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-style: italic; margin: 6px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
All the best. And whichever path you choose, may it be the best.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Other personal issues also contribute to the feeling of loneliness and unworthiness. That was a real hard time for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Worse thing is when I thought I was okay but I'm not. I thought everything is fine but it's not. I went for a travel with new people. It was good but another problem comes after the travel *sigh* And that was emotionally draining but after all, everything has settled Alhamdulillah :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Long story short, reflecting back, now I feel better and insha Allah, I guess everything starts to fall into place. I accepted the job which involved interaction with children and hopefully this is the path that would lead me to my dream. I'm still adapting to new place but so far, everything seems nice and good. May Allah guides me to educate this children at my best. Really need your prayers 🌷🌷</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
And yes, my 2018 starts on April 😂😂</div>

Hopefully, I will keep updating my blog. Mohon rajinkan diri. Haha 😆</div>

<span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;">People asked, how to let go and move on?</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;">Before you need to know HOW, you need to know WHY is it hard to let go?</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;">Why is it so hard?</span></div>
<ol>
<li style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;">Could be it's because what you need is just an apology from those who hurt you. But unfortunately, most of the time, they won't apologise. I don't know why. Maybe because for them, it's not important? Or maybe it's just that they simply think it doesn't hurt that bad? Or could be, they think you already forget what happen.</span></li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 12pt;"></span><span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;">and this is the *mistake* people made (it's not really a mistake because I think, an apology can heal). It's so simple to say "I'm sorry for hurting you" but it takes people to lower down their ego to say "I'm sorry" right? That's why people don't apologise. </span><span style="font-family: '.AppleColorEmojiUI'; font-size: 17pt;">🙂</span></li>
<li style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 12pt;"></span><span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;">Why do people want them to apologise? Because sometimes, people tend to BLAME THEMSELVES for what's happening. "Did I do anything wrong?" "Why is this happen to me, God?" "What did I do to deserve this?"</span></li>
<li style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 12pt;"></span><span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;">It really takes time and courage to convince yourselves that it's not your fault. It's a test that Allah let it to happen. He doesn't meant to break us but to mend us. And to understand this concept might take years :')</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;">Take it slowly. Don't be too harsh on yourselves. Healing process takes time. It really is :)</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></div>
<ol start="2">
<li style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;">Because you think, why do those people live happily while you need to live with the scars that is hard to mend.</span></li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 12pt;"></span><span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;">How can we apologise people who don't ask for an apology? The resentment inside the heart is so hard to explain. And we didn't notice that we hold a grudge inside us. Is it wrong to hold a grudge? I don't know. For people who are deeply in pain, it's really understandable if you are not being able to forgive. It's sometimes not about the actions, but the hurtful feelings they left, am I right?</span></li>

To understand things that happen in your life. Please know that bad things do happen to good people as well. Like what I said, it's not because Allah is unfair.

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Raya is in few days (either next two days or three days) :)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Special for my ownself 💖<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Basically this is just my own reflection. So many things
happen in a month. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Azzura,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Did you remember your feeling when Ramadhan was coming?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You were so full of doubt. You doubted yourself, “Am I ready
for Ramadhan?” 😕😕</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Because you really felt that you’re not ready but you are so
eager to meet Ramadhan. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Because you wanted to heal. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You really wanted to heal
so much.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Azzura,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This Ramadhan taught you that healing process is not like
what you think it is. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is not only “happy and butterflies” moments for
healing. No. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s a combination of mixed feelings dear Azzura.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s a combination of happy, sad, sorrow, excitement, joy,
guilt, hurt, <b>almost</b> broken, doubtful, and many more. 😌😌<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s really a combination of mixed feelings.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You can feel sad 😢 in one second, and happy 😃 in another second<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You can feel almost give up 😭 in one second but motivated 😆 in
other second<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You can feel so excited 😁 in one second but doubtful 😔 in other
second<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nothing is an absolute happy or absolute sad<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nothing is an absolute good or absolute bad<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s a combination. Really a combination. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is what
Ramadhan taught you, dear Azzura<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Azzura,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are moments when you really don’t understand what you
feel.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You really feel like you are losing yourself<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I know. I know you very well, zura.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And you sometimes feel so frustrated that even you learn
psychology, but it doesn’t make you understand people<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
How can you understand people when sometimes you can’t even
understand yourself Azzura? HAHAH. 😂😂<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And sometimes you feel like “I know I learn psychology. But
still, I’m a human. I have feelings. How am I not supposed to feel what I
feel?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And you’re right zura. You’re human. And humans are weak. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Therefore, please always remind yourself to seek strength
from Allah. 💪💪<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That’s normal to feel weak. Because you are not even yours,
Azzura<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That is why, you always need to seek Allah’s guidance. 💕💕</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To
always save you from evil thoughts you have on yourself. 😠<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Azzura,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Knowing you, zura. You are not a bad person. Trust me. 😎😎<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You are good, though there are still A LOT of improvements
you need to make on yourself to be a better person.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But, Azzura. You tried zura. You tried! 😸<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even when you fall so many times, but you did try!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
How can it be called as “loser”. You don’t have strong
justifications to even tell yourself as “loser” or a "failure" 😒😒<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And regardless of what you think about yourself,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Do you know that you have impacted many people in a good
way?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You are important zura. Never let YOURSELF tell you
otherwise.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You are truly important. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> 😻</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">(I hope you understand this well)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Azzura,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This Ramadhan taught you that there are things that beyond
your control<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You cannot control people. 🙍<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And that should not make you feel worry, that should not
make you feel disappointed, that should not make you feel guilty <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, why are you always blaming yourself for things that are
not even your fault? 💆💆<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You are just burdening yourself, you know?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Azzura,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This Ramadhan taught you that life is not going to be as
smooth as you wanted it to be.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’ll never be smooth. There’s gonna be challenges that you
need to face.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For everything that you fight for, there always gonna be
challenges. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
ALWAYS. 💣💣<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Unexpected things happen and you can’t stop it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hey, don’t you remember how passionate you are with the
course you take: psychology? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But, sometimes, you do feel like you’re not going to pursue
it anymore because sometimes it’s difficult? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But, you never stop. You still gonna proceed it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You know why? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
BECAUSE YOU UNDERSTAND THE REASONS. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHY YOU ARE DOING THIS.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This should be applied to other aspects of life too, zura.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Knowing you, you are a person who doesn’t decide in a day. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You take into accounts many things. Therefore, when you have
decided, you know that it is the best for you. So, DON’T STOP. AND FIGHT FOR
IT! 💪💪<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Don’t give up until people decide to give up on you. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You need to fight for it, be patient along the process like
what you did with psychology.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Be patient with yourself. 👸👸</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dear Azzura,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This Ramadhan is one of the most memorable Ramadhan in your
life.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Please be grateful for everything that happen even though
you might not like it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Remember, you yourself ask Allah to heal you,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And He really does with His wisdom.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not like what you thought it would be. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But with the way HE WANTED TO
TEACH YOU.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I know sometimes you feel like you cannot take it anymore.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But, hold on. Hold on. Hold on.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just hold on. Trust Allah and believe that He'll make you go through this. 😁😁</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dan moga-moga wahai Azzura,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hari Raya ini kau setidaknya belajar untuk menang ke atas
diri kau sendiri,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dan kau setidaknya belajar satu hal: kau manusia, bukan
Tuhan. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dan jalanilah hidupmu wahai Azzura sesederhana mungkin.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Moga kau belajar mencari imbang. Moga kau belajar menjadi
hamba.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bukankah ini doamu selalu? Untuk menjadi hamba Tuhan.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lastly dear Azzura,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>

Banyak benda yang dapat dan belajar.<br />
Jadi, saya kongsi di sini adalah untuk mengingatkan diri sendiri dan untuk rujukan akan datang<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA-GT_gE_ZxFhpno0RkAKt1YajVvrdkP2MTSxDy6jjsa7LEmT4LjkZWhaiO06G0UJJWALV6HN3zYRGJc0ofdQLMdc22cIFYp3MMUHJnkR3tP8Ad_dctcb9l2BrG4Vxt_nXYIP6NQb7N84/s1600/challenges.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="255" data-original-width="197" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA-GT_gE_ZxFhpno0RkAKt1YajVvrdkP2MTSxDy6jjsa7LEmT4LjkZWhaiO06G0UJJWALV6HN3zYRGJc0ofdQLMdc22cIFYp3MMUHJnkR3tP8Ad_dctcb9l2BrG4Vxt_nXYIP6NQb7N84/s1600/challenges.jpeg" /></a></div>

<br />
So, dear future self,<br />
please read the advice from 21-year-old Azzura okay?<br />
<br />
One key point that kak Nina said to me was,<br />
<b>Be mature on what we say.</b><br />
Being a psychologist (not-yet a psychologist but I know I'd pursue my ambition),<br />
you will deal with A LOT of people with A LOT of issues.<br />
and sometimes the issues are beyond your imagination<br />
and very contradicts with your belief<br />
<br />
But, issues are there<br />
Things happen<br />
and people experiences it.<br />
You need to acknowledge that.<br />
<br />
Therefore, before you say anything,<br />
Before you write anything,<br />
Always always always reflected back.<br />
Choose a precise word, choose a nice word.<br />
Deliver it with "mercy"<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Some guidelines for myself, in approaching issue, remember to stay calm and "rahmah"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1. <b>Does the issue has happened?</b> (i.e. unwanted feelings such as attracted to the same gender)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: 0.27px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">--> Is it just feelings or he has acted upon it?</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">--> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">If it's still feelings, then no sin for him/her.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">--> So, you can provide alternative therapy. Don't forget to include spirituality element.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">--> Induce the guilt of having unwanted feelings but give HOPE that it will recover if he/she has willingness to fight against the feelings</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">2.<b> <span style="color: #14171a;">If it has happened, did he/she feels guilty?</span></b></span></span></span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #14171a;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">--> If he feels guilty, and want to end the sin, guide him and don't judge</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #14171a;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">--> But, don't give SIMPLE alternative such as marrying a woman. It might not work. Instead, causing harm to the wife</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #14171a;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">--> So, what to do? counseling first.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #14171a;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">--> What if he/she doesn't feel guilty?</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #14171a;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">--> Look at historical and environmental background to have clear understanding</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #14171a;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">--> it's important to understand for better alternative/treatment. but not to justify the action</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #14171a;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #14171a;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>3. If he/she doesn't feel guilty, does he/she just do the sin by himself or does he/she implies the idea to others?</b></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #14171a;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">--> </span></span><span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If he is implying the idea to other people, then we need to be firm and go against the idea. Fight against the ideology.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;">--> I'm not sure about the treatment by the way. Later, maybe my future self will figure it out insha Allah</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;">--> But if he just keeps it to himself, then help him as much as you could. Don't feel pressure. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you can't help, then ask others to help.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However, dear self,<br />
There are some issues that you cannot handle<br />
Acknowledge it and just avoid the issues<br />
Because it might cause more harm than good<br />
Refer them to other psychologists.<br />
Just ADMIT that you can't handle that. Just can't handle.<br />
For example, issues like pedophilia, sex offenders, etc. are just too much to handle.<br />
You can handle the survivors, but not the perpetrators.<br />
So, just refer them to other psychologists.<br />
<br />
And, bear in mind,<br />
Sometimes your treatment for some clients might not make them better<br />
Or it could be worse :(<br />
This can happen, dear future self.<br />
So, DON'T BE TOO HARSH on yourself<br />
Take a chill pill and you too need a psychologist for yourself<br />
<br />
Do not always feel bad<br />
It just show that you're human and you CAN'T HEAL EVERYONE<br />
Let Allah heal them.<br />
It's kinda dangerous if you think you can heal everyone because you definitely DON'T HAVE THE POWER.<br />
But you can always put EFFORTS and remember, TAWAKKAL.<br />
<br />

<br />
Dear future self,<br />
Sometimes, you just need a break and "me time"<br />
You need to distance yourself from work environment when you're at home<br />
You will have a husband and children<br />
They have their rights and you're responsible for that<br />
Make them feel your existence too okay?<br />
And make them feel that you're WITH them.<br />
Spend quality time with them.<br />
Do not take clients' problems into your personal life<br />
<br />
But knowing you, sometimes you'll overthink<br />
So, when you reach that point,<br />
Ask courage from Allah.<br />
Pray. Pray to Him.<br />
Seek support<br />
Support from your family, friends and people around<br />
And plan vacation for yourself<br />
If you could go anywhere (doesn't necessarily far), just go.<br />
Find peace for yourself<br />
<br />
That's all from a 21-year-old Azzura.<br />
In a month and a week, Azzura will turn to 22.<br />
So hopefully, Azzura can be wiser and may Allah always guide. </div>

<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: -apple-system, ".SFNSText-Regular", "San Francisco", "Helvetica Neue", Roboto, "Segoe UI", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">Dan pada sisi Allah-lah kunci-kunci semua yang ghaib; tidak ada yang mengetahuinya kecuali Dia sendiri, dan Dia mengetahui apa yang di daratan dan di lautan, dan tiada sehelai daun pun yang gugur melainkan Dia mengetahuinya (pula), dan tidak jatuh sebutir biji-pun dalam kegelapan bumi, dan tidak sesuatu yang basah atau yang kering, melainkan tertulis dalam kitab yang nyata (Lauh Mahfudz)</span></blockquote>
I feel this verse is really comforting<br />
Knowing that Allah knows every single thing in this world, from the smallest to the biggest<br />
Just make me realize that our life is in His hand<br />
And, if we let Him hold our destiny,<br />
We would be fine<br />
Totally fine<br />
<br />
That doesn't mean that we don't need to put effort and let Him decide<br />
No. It just means that we need to put our best efforts<br />
and let the RESULTS in His hand<br />
and that's the concept of: TAWAKKAL :)<br />
<br />
Have you ever wondered about your future?<br />
How is it like?<br />
What would it be?<br />
I always wonder this since I was small.<br />
<br />
And you know,<br />
I once wonder, "if only I have doraemon and can have a look to my future, it must be good."<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/epic-rap-battles-of-cartoons/images/9/9f/Doraemon.png/revision/latest?cb=20161020103841" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="534" data-original-width="800" height="213" src="https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/epic-rap-battles-of-cartoons/images/9/9f/Doraemon.png/revision/latest?cb=20161020103841" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Then, as I grow up,<br />
I realized, if only we know what future holds for us,<br />
We wouldn't feel the sweetness of 'doa'<br />
We wouldn't feel the sweetness of trying and keep trying<br />
We wouldn't feel the sweetness of be the servant of Allah<br />
We wouldn't feel the sweetness of tawakkal<br />
<br />
And that's the wisdom of Allah<br />
He wants us to experience this life<br />
He wants us to feel the pain<br />
He wants us to kneel down and pray to Him<br />
Because, He loves us and He misses us.<br />
He wants to hear our prayer.<br />
<br />
I know, it's never easy to really appreciate all the painful experiences<br />
It's never easy to really understand what's going on in our life<br />
It's never easy to get up when you feel that you are at the bottom<br />
It's never easy to keep trying when you are afraid of falling<br />
It's never easy, dear.<br />
Never.<br />
<br />
And you know, to understand this,<br />
Sometimes, we learn it in a hard way<br />
Like my housemate said, "buat kita terduduk"<br />
Yup, really.<br />
It makes us to realise that,<br />
Our life wouldn't be as easy as we plan it to be.<br />
And it wouldn't be as smooth as what we plan it to be<br />
<br />
But, our definition of ease and smooth is not what it truly is.<br />
I mean, the ease and smooth in our eyes is not the same with His wisdom.<br />
He teaches us first through experience<br />
And throughout the learning process,<br />
He is actually guides us<br />
But, sometimes we just don't want to see it with our heart<br />
<br />
Realizing this,<br />
I always feel the wisdom in this prayer,<br />
and may Allah always make me a person who always appreciate this 'doa'<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"Ya Allah, kurniakanlah kami lisan yang lembut basah mengingati dan menyebut namaMu, hati yang penuh segar mensyukuri nikmatMu, serta badan yang ringan menyempurnakan ketaatan kepada perintahMu. Ya Allah, kurniakanlah kami iman yang sempurna, hati yang khusyu', ilmu yang berguna, keyakinan yang benar-benar mantap, Ya Allah, kurniakanlah kami, Din, cara hidup yang jitu dan unggul, selamat dari dari segala mala petaka.<br />Kami mohon Ya Allah, kecukupan yang tidak sampai kami terpaksa meminta jasa orang lain. Berikanlah kami Ya Allah iman yang sebenarnya hingga kami tidak lagi gentar atau mengharapkan orang lain selain dari Engkau sendiri, atau menyembah selain dari Engkau sendiri. Kembangkanlah lembayung rahmat-Mu kepada kami, keluarga kami, anak-anak kami serta sesiapa sahaja yang bersama-sama kami.<br /><b>Jangan Ya Allah, Engkau biarkan nasib kami ditentukan oleh diri kami sendiri; walaupun sekadar sekelip mata atau sekadar masa yang lebih pendek daripada itu</b>.<br />Wahai Tuhan yang paling mudah dan cepat memperkenankan, minta perkenankanlah. "</span></blockquote>

<div>
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">favourite part of the doa.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">This Ramadhan,</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">let us try to appreciate our life and try to appreciate the doa :) </span></div>

After subuh prayer, I talked with my housemate, Faten Nadhirah.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She shared about Surah Ali-Imran from the book "Khowatir Quraniyah"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The theme about the Surah is: Keteguhan iman, amal dan fikiran</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And, the figure that Allah talked about is 2 WOMEN: Maryam and Imran's wife.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was mind-blowing and amazing that Allah used an example of WOMEN to describe about "keteguhan iman, amal dan fikiran"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was so touched that Allah REALLY recognised the importance of women in building a great ummah.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The wife of Imran gave birth to an amazing woman: Maryam</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
and Maryam gave birth to an amazing man: Isa A.S</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Subhanallah. What a huge contribution a woman can make for the ummah.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
No matter a woman gave birth to a girl or boy, they both could be wonderful.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
💖💖</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sometimes, I guess some of us might feel that we can't be as good as men</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But, no dear women. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Women can be as pious as men, and we can follow the step of Maryam and the wife of Ali-Imran.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are the fundamental of a great generation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are important</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And we always do.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We matter to the world :')</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Keutamaan Wanita</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
" Surat yang berbicara tentang thabat juga menampilkan contoh keteguhan dua figur wanita. Meskipun namanya Ali Imran (keluarga Imran), surat ini tidak menyebutkan Imran. Akan tetapi, fokus pembicaraan justru pada isterinya yang tulus membela agama Allah dan menjadi sebab lahirnya Sayyidah Maryam dan nabi Isa AS. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Simbol keteguhan dalam surat ini adalah wanita, dan surat setelah Ali-Imran adalah surat An'Nisaa' (Wanita). Ini merupakan bukti paling jelas <b>pemuliaan </b>dan <b>penghargaan </b>Islam terhadap wanita. Karena itu wahai para pemuda! Teguhlah pada kebenaran, baik secara pemikiran maupun tindakan. Wahai para pemudi, teguhlah pada kebenaran, baik secara pemikiran maupun tindakan. Belajarlah dari dua wanita yang disebutkan dalam surat ini, isteri Imran dan Maryam binti Imran."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Petikan dari Khowatir Quraniyah, Amru Khalid-</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I end this post with a reflection to hadith Rasulullah,</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
Dari Abu Hurairah berkata; Rasulullah SAW bersabda: "Orang mukmin yang paling sempurna imannya adalah yang paling baik akhlaknya. Sebaik-baik kalian adalah yang paling baik terhadap para isterinya." (HR Tirmidzi No: 1082)</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
Sa'ad bin Abu Waqqash dari bapanya dari neneknya berkata; Rasulullah s.a.w. bersabda: "Tiga indikator kebahagiaan anak Adam, dan tiga indikator kesengsaraan anak Adam; indikator kebahagiaan anak cucu adam adalah isteri yang solehah, tempat tinggal yang baik dan kenderaan yang baik. Sedangkan indikator kesengsaraan anak Adam adalah isteri yang berakhlak buruk, tempat tinggal yang buruk dan kenderaan yang buruk." (HR Ahmad No: 1368)</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These make me reflect that how important a woman to a man in which when they want to perfect their faith, they need to do good to women.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
and it is so amazing that how a woman can impact man's life in which when she's a good wife, it is an indication of a happy life for a husband. and when she's not good, then it's an indication of misery life for a husband.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, dear women,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This Ramadhan, let us learn more about ourselves.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope you could see that Islam really dignifies women.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once you know this, you would be so grateful to be a woman.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alhamdulillah 💕💕</div>

A curious, cute little girl.<br />
<br />
Today, we read a book from little caliph, here is the content:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, Damia asked, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Teacher, what is syurga? Is it sugar?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At first I was confused with the question. So I answered,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"yeah, syurga is syurga."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Oh, sugar. Food?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I realised, ohhhh, she meant sugar. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Before answering, I laughed first because the question was too cute 😂😂</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Damia, come here. Syurga is a beautiful place. It's like a garden. But it's too beautiful that we couldn't imagine it. Let me show you some pictures of the gardens"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then, I googled "The Most Beautiful Garden in The World"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here are some pictures I got:</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Damia was like, "Wahhhhhh"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"yes Damia. It is mesmerising right?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Yeah."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"But syurga is much more beautiful than this?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Does syurga bigger than this?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Yes. Much bigger"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Teacher, in syurga, can we ask anything we want?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Yes Damia. You can ask anything you want"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"We can eat anything?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Yes. You can eat anything."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
She was so amazed. Then she asked,</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This Ramadhan, let us all aim to be a better muslim, to attain taqwa and pray to be the one that He chooses to be with great people in Jannah.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Insha Allah.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One more thing I love about Jannah is,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once you enter Jannah, all your pain goes away as if you never experienced it before.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Noto Serif", serif; font-size: 19px;">Akan tetapi orang-orang yang bertakwa kepada Tuhannya bagi mereka surga yang mengalir sungai-sungai di dalamnya, sedang mereka kekal di dalamnya sebagai tempat tinggal (anugerah) dari sisi Allah. Dan apa yang di sisi Allah adalah lebih baik bagi orang-orang yang berbakti.</span></blockquote>

Lately, I really don't have any idea on what's happening to myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was thinking about so many things, that I couldn't even understand. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Or I understand them so well but I just feel so overwhelmed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Because I couldn't help myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was thinking about myself. I'm not good enough.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was reflecting on my own character.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
People perceived me as confident and brave.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Little that they know, I am so scared but I just try to step forward.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I try my best. My very best.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I tried to fight against any negative thoughts that kept on coming along my way.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm not be able to tell people what I need and what I want.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hide my feelings. Keep it deep down to my heart.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I kept it because I didn't know how to tell.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All my worry. All the things I wanted to say but I didn't.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wanted to talk to people I never talked before but I didn't know how to interact.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And, sometimes, I did feel like I need to stop expressing myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I once feel like deleting all my social media because I think like I shouldn't express.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I got angry to myself for not being able to control myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I got angry for not being strong enough.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I just dislike myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
so much.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sometimes I feel inferior with my own character</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am too confident that I made others feel uncomfortable</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am too selfish that I didn't notice the changes in others</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am too expressive that I didn't give chances for people to speak</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am drown into my own world that I didn't notice the surroundings.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And I really feel I cannot love myself</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
_____________________________________________________</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am so grateful that Allah always have something for me</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He enables me to travel to Shornecliffe for me to get some fresh air and feel the calmness.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He enables me to talk to friends about what's going on even though I won't tell everything but at least, I told.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He sent me awesome friends who really care. Truly care. And understand. And love me </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
(I know you girls do :))</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He enables me to listen to something beautiful.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This morning, I had a conversation with my housemate.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was so beautiful that I'll keep it in my blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We talked about meeting Allah and people in Jannah.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Agaknya, macamana perasaan kita kan bila jumpa Allah kat syurga nanti? Taktau nak cakap apa. Awkward tak ye."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Kan..kita jumpa dengan Sang Penyayang yang sayang sangat kat kita. The one who understands us inside out more than we do."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Kita jumpa dengan Dia yang kita rindu nak tatap wajahNya. Rasa macam best pula Allah nak buat surprise pada kita kan. Kita takboleh nampak dia supaya kita rasa rindu dan nak tatap wajah Dia nanti."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Lepastu nanti kita jumpa Abu Bakar, Umar, sahabat-sahabat semua. Mesti best bila kita cerita apa yang jadi kat zaman kita. Kita ada gadjet, social media, kereta. And kita dengar pula apa jadi kat zaman mereka."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The feeling is unimaginable. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The feeling must be so blessed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We love each other. We listen to stories. We share stories.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Subhanallah. Best sangat.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then this afternoon, I dated my big sister. (hey, she still consider me as her baby sister. xD)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We talked. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She gave me advices on how to improve myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was helpful. She even outlined some action plans that I can do.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And it was such a relieved when at the end, she said,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Zura, your weaknesses do not mean that you don't deserve love. We love you. I hope you notice that you also make a progression. As someone who knows you, akak saksikan yang awak cuba baiki diri awak. and I'm proud of you. I hope you know that you're an inspiration to a lot of people out there. So don't stop doing what you do. Your characters are actually a struggle for a lot of people out there. Your weaknesses just need an improvement"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At this moment, I really felt so touched.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then, I realized, while I dislike myself, people out there are actually dreaming to be me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I wanted to be someone else, people are actually appreciating me the way I am.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
:')</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not saying that I don't need to work on my weaknesses</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not saying that I'm perfect. No. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But, this moment I need to listen back to what I always tell people.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
BE THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF. and don't try to be someone else.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Because our characters are unique and our characters are actually meant to complete others in our life. After all, we are all in need of each other. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And our weaknesses are meant to be acknowledged and improved in a journey to be the best version of ourselves.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dear self,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
whenever in the future that you ever feel bad about yourself,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
please revisit your own writing here in this post.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope I can cheer you up and makes you understand that you are important in people's life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
and you should be grateful for being you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Because you have qualities that others need.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And by acknowledging that, I hope you can reach out to a lot of people out there.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Zura, don't try to be someone else.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
BE THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sincerely,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Azzura (not-yet 22)</div>

After zuhr prayer, kak Aznin, kak Syam, and Yan brought me to Mount Lofty. Subhanallah, it was so pretty!🍁🍁🍁</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I could see the shades of colour from red to brown. It was really capturing my eyes 😍</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
kak Syam, kak Aznin, me, Yan</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Zura, Adelaide always has a place for you" - Kak Aznin</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
well, you girls always have a place in my heart 😊😊</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Then, that night, we went to my highschool mate's house.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Well, we talked for 2 hours. You know, when you meet your highschool mate, they will literally talk about how you were back in school 😂😂. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
And reminiscing the moment in high school was so funny.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I guess, if there's Sahira, it would be so many more to talk about because she knows most about me in high school. Luckily she wasn't there. hahaha. (if you're reading this, sorry Sahira 😌)</div>

<b>Last day: Hallet Cove and Brighton Beach</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It's time to say goodbye.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
That morning, before I went to airport, Kak Aznin brought me to Hallet Cove and Brighton Beach.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The scenery was s great, subhanallah.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There was a mountain there looks so mesmerizing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It reminded me of this one verse in Al-Quran,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<style type="text/css">
p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; color: #454545}
</style>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">"Kalau sekiranya Kami turunkan Al-Quran ini kepada sebuah gunung, pasti kamu akan melihatnya tunduk terpecah belah disebabkan ketakutannya kepada Allah. Dan perumpamaan-perumpamaan itu Kami buat untuk manusia supaya mereka berfikir."</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Al-Hasyr: 21)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then, Kak Aznin said, the mountain is huge but it only has a physical strength, while human, we are created with both physical and spiritual strength. That is the reason why, human can accept the responsibility that Allah gives to us, which is to live our life based on the Quran. Because we are the best creation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was such a thoughtful conversation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then, we also met Indonesian in Hallet Cove. They were having holidays.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

After zuhr prayer, we went to Brighton Beach but I did not take any photo there. huhu.</div>

Then, it's time to say goodbye.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Kak Aznin sent me to airport.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then she said, "Janganlah sedih"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I wasn't. em, actually, I did.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hahaha. But I didn't cry okay. Haha. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then, kak Aznin recorded a video of me saying goodbye to akhawat Adelaide.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Insha Allah, someday we'll meet again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As much as I love to stay at certain place, it would always be temporary.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, may I ask you a favour?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Can I stay in your heart forever? 😊</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I will just take my words from my facebook,</div>

Alhamdulillah 4 days 4 nights in Adelaide was awesome. I fell in love with the nature and of course, with the people. So lovely. So welcoming. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHSlwbsVS7jIB9gy2MNfosP8zNSO52MjI-VEvTlRGjX-6LmZpbZ5uttdDg4yAhPwUuvyBxBpK9_tj12ULdQsN1mWjY4krlHRjm6FzSHrj1ekLFpCHsNSe7JUVRksi_7cXLuIXPrCPUH4A/s1600/IMG_8854.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="82" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHSlwbsVS7jIB9gy2MNfosP8zNSO52MjI-VEvTlRGjX-6LmZpbZ5uttdDg4yAhPwUuvyBxBpK9_tj12ULdQsN1mWjY4krlHRjm6FzSHrj1ekLFpCHsNSe7JUVRksi_7cXLuIXPrCPUH4A/s400/IMG_8854.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Before the trip</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
So, how did I plan to go there?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I didn't plan it, honestly. It was random. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So basically, 3 weeks before the trip, kak Farah Hanani asked our usrah,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"</i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Siapa nak join kak Farah pergi Adelaide. Ada nadwah 6 Mei kat Adelaide.</span><i>"</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At that time, I was quite excited, </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
'oh I really wanted to go to Adelaide but I didn't have strong reason to go'. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, I checked my schedule. okay, assignments lambat lagi. 3 minggu lagi. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
(<span style="font-size: x-small;">pengsan ni 4 assignments berderet 😅😅. doakan manageable!😁</span>)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I also checked the ticket price.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"hm, if it's below $200 for return, I'd go. if not, maybe no"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I took a week to think about it. Am I really going?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, the next week, I checked the price ticket again and checked my schedule again.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Okay, there's no assignment due this week, I can asked syifa' for this one tutorial. This one lecture, I can just listen to the lecture recording. Okay, manageable. Bismillah."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And the ticket price was below $200. I think Allah has made it easy for me. Alhamdulillah.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then, I rethink again. Wait, if I take the ticket on Thursday, who's going to send me?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And, am I travelling alone? 🤔</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To be honest, this trip was the first trip I travelled alone.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a woman, of course it is important to ensure that the trip is safe. (This is important okay girls. <span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Maqasid syariah menjaga nyawa itu penting</b></span>)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, I was thinking, should be there are girls who are sending me to airport and there are girls who will be fetching me there. I would just be alone on the flight, which was safe. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let's try this. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And my first solo-travel experience was good.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Allah made it easy, Alhamdulillah.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Day 1: Pakistani Food and Baitul Insyirah</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I arrived there, Azri Hazirah and Diyana Izyan fetched me and brought me to one Pakistani restaurant. The food was good masha Allah. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then, they took me to Baitul Insyirah. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I slept there for 4 days 4 nights. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Subhanallah, the house was so comfy and calm, just like its name.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
May Allah showers them with greater blessings for their kindness.</div>

Adelaide Botanical Garden</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The garden was so pretty. 😍 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We sent pictures to kakSyai just to make her jealous.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Sekali, sesat kat dalam taman</span>. 😅</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Luckily we lost in a garden. It wasn't scary <span style="font-size: x-small;">la kan.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We waited there for kak Aznin to rescue us.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then, we had our lunch, pray, and heading to Gaol.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We went to Gaol with Zizi and her friend.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In here, the environment was quite depressing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There's a heartnreaking story about a woman.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Her father died when she was young, her mother then left her alone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And, she was raped brutally when she was young.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Later, she found out that her mother was still alive and remarried with a man.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
She then moved to the city nearer to her mother and her stepfather.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
She then married a divorced man with 2 kids, but it turned out that the marriage was bad.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Her husband was abusive.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One day, her husband was found died because of mercury poisoning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
She was accused of murdering her husband but the investigation wasn't thorough</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, it was said that she was actually innocent but falsely punished. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And she was the only woman who was executed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I got headache after reading about the cases in which people were executed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are people who murdered their wife/husband due to jealosy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are people who murdered and raped children. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are people who murdered their own friends.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The feelings after visited the prison was so heavy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Rasa mual juga.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Mungkin sebab rasa terlalu berat untuk menerima kes-kes macamni</span> (that is why I wouldn't choose Forensic Psychology or criminology because I'm not into that course).</div>

That night, after maghrib, I had liqa' from Brisbane</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I joined through online from Adelaide. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Waktu ni rasa pertama kali liqa' sambil berjalan, naik trem, kejar bas.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">taktau la masuk ke tak. insha Allah masuk la kot.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(jangan kecam saya, kak Farah 👀)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I remember we discussed about usul 20.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Usul ke 5 (taat pada pemimpin) dan 6 (taasub) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(harap-harap betul 😅 )</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Sambil-sambil liqa', pergi </span>Matcha cake house<span style="font-size: x-small;"> dengan Kak Aznin.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Rasa bersalah jugak sebab saya tengah liqa', kak Aznin duduk diam kat situ. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Jadi nak hilangkan rasa bersalah, saya buka </span>loudspeaker<span style="font-size: x-small;">, so kak Aznin boleh </span>join<span style="font-size: x-small;"> sekali. </span></div>

<b>Day 3: Car Problems and Nadwah</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This day, we have nadwah for the whole day. So, I got the chance to meet all akhawat Adelaide,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Kak Najah, Kak Ain, Kak Azlin, Kak Azri, Diyana, Dayana, Kak Ika, kak Nabilah, kak Syam, Kak Raby, Kak Aznin, kak Maizatul (hopefully, I didn't miss anyone 😖)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
University of Adelaide. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That morning, I had to fetch kak Farah and kak Dee from airport. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Other akhawat was setting up and getting ready for nadwah.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was my first time driving alone. At first, the car was okay,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">tetiba termati bila keluar dari </span>parking.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, I quickly pushed the emergency button. There was one local lady asking, "are you okay?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I said, "I couldn't start my car" then she called people nearby. there was a man helping me. He thought I wanted to park my car, so he helped me park the car and <span style="font-size: x-small;">matikan enjin</span>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was like, "...that's okay. I can stat the engine"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Engine was okay but handbrake <span style="font-size: x-small;">pula tak boleh turun</span> 😓</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Lelaki, orang putih lagi, tarik </span>handbrake<span style="font-size: x-small;"> sampai tak boleh nak turun. Saya turunkan </span>handbrake<span style="font-size: x-small;"> tu guna dua tangan. gigih betul masa tu rasa</span>. 😂</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then, I fetched kak Farah and Kak Dee from airport and sent them to nadwah.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I searched for a parking spot, but couldn't find any.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Banyak kali juga pusing-pusing sampai tersesat.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At that time, I felt like crying. It was new place and I was lost and alone in the car. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What should I do..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This one ukhti called me, asking where was I. I said I was lost and she had to send me the location.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I just followed the map and Alhamdulillah, finally I arrived.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was grateful because it happened in Adelaide, where the people were friendly and calm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If it ever happened in Melbourne or Sydney city, I would have cried alone in the car. huhu.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then, I just tried to stay calm and focus on the nadwah.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Alhamdulillah, the nadwah was good. Jazakunallhu khyar akhawat Adelaide for the awesome presentation 😊😊</div>

<br />
Before I start, I would like to thank to Mimi Farah Mohamad Jazman and Faten Nadhirah Muhammad Fauzi for recommending this movie.<br />
<br />
I just want to share the lessons I learnt from a movie I watched last night: A Monster Calls.<br />
The movie is highly recommended. You will find that the movie will teach you <b>life lessons</b>. It has taught me about family relationships, love and marriage, how to face struggles in life, etc.<br />
<br />

What is the story about?<br />
It's a story about a boy. Too old to be a kid, Too young to be a man.<br />
A boy whose heart has been broken to see his single mother fighting with cancer.<br />
A boy who always have questions about things happening in his life.<br />
Why do his parents divorce? Why do his mother needs to struggle with cancer? Why do he has to be bullied at school?<br />
<br />
He is yearning for an answer and get the answer through tales, told by a tree monster in his dreams.<br />
----------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
Lesson I learnt.<br />
<br />
1. Family Relationship<br />
Our family members are the closest to our heart. They are the one who we will first ask for help. They are the one who we will first ask for comfort.<br />
But, our family members are not perfect. And often time, we misunderstand their actions. Because, we don't bother to ask. Rather, we assume.<br />
Therefore, let us all try to be honest with our family members.<br />
<br />

This is so true. Often times, we feel by hiding our honest feelings, it would make things better. Because we are afraid to know the outcomes. But, most of the times, even if the outcome doesn't turn out the way we wanted it to, it is actually turn out the way we need it to. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Be honest. Speak the truth. It takes courage to speak the truth, I swear. It was hard. It's never easy. But it worth it. It worth to speak the truth as it can lift the burden in our heart. Trust me. </div>

This movie is really inspiring and I would highly recommend this movie to you guys.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It will make most of us contemplating on what have we done, what are we going to do, what decision are we going to take, what's running in our thoughts, what actions are we going to take.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It worth watching it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Plus, this movie doesn't have any obscene scene. It's an innocent movie with valuable life lessons in it. </div>
