The Government Misconception

"I think we have gone through a period when too many children and people have been given to understand "I have a problem, it is the Government's job to cope with it!" or "I have a problem, I will go and get a grant to cope with it!" "I am homeless, the Government must house me!" and so they are casting their problems on society and who is society? There is no such thing! There are individual men and women and there are families and no government can do anything except through people and people look to themselves first. It is our duty to look after ourselves and then also to help look after our neighbour and life is a reciprocal business and people have got the entitlements too much in mind without the obligations."

-Margaret Thatcher

September 1987.

True.


The government does not exist to serve you, to feed you, to house you.
You yourself are responsible for your well-being.
Understand this before you cast your ballot in the next General Election.

POTD = Picture of the Day

Since I hardly ever update my blog nowadays, I think I'm gonna upload a picture here everyday.
I dont know what got over me or what influenced me, the thought just came to my head and I embraced it. echehh

Maybe its so that I can look back one day, 5 or 10 years from now and see what is it that I've done, created, achieved, enjoyed and experienced.

Though let's not call it a diary cuz that just sounds lame. a journal, perhaps? haha

The object in the picture can be anything and everything, as long as it was taken in that day itself.

To start things off,

Friday, the 13th (of January)

I'm probably being too ambitious by thinking that I can upload every single day but what the heck. I'll try my best not to break this promise. haha

FRIENDS

"Good friends are really hard to find

They gotta be there for you, even when you're wrong.

But at the same time, they cant just tell you what you wanna hear.

They've also gotta be willing to tell you what you need to hear."

Here I have the quote from a newfound favorite tv show of mine - Happy Endings
Really hilarious tv show! Just like the timeless Friends. =D

I just wanna say that I appreciate having u all in my life. and that I miss u guys dearly
weii kenapa aku emosional ni!?!? XD

By the way,
I seriously think we should get another guy in our group. biar balance sket. Asik aku and sudu je.
hahaha

do-gooder

If you want to do good
Do it


But,
do it sincerely
do it silently
do it wholeheartedly


and God willing, you will be rewarded
in leaps and bounds
beyond what you can imagine

like whoa

You look at me and call me oppressed, 

Simply because of the way I'm dressed, 

You know me not for what's inside, 

You judge the clothing I wear with pride, 

My body is not for your eyes to hold, 

You must speak to my mind, not my feminine mould, 

I'm an individual, I'm no mans slave, 

It's Allah's pleasure that I only crave, 

I have a voice so I will be heard, 

For in my heart I carry His word, 

"O ye women, wrap close your cloak, so you won't be bothered by ignorant folk", 

Man doesn't tell me to dress this way, 

It's a law from God that I obey, 

Oppressed is something I'm truly NOT, 

For liberation is what I've got, 

It was given to me many years ago, 

With the right to prosper, the right to grow, 

I can climb mountains or cross the seas, 

Expand my mind in all degrees, 

For God Himself gave us LIB-ER-TY, 

When He sent Islãm, 

To You and Me!

i read this in a youtube video's description and thought that I had to share it.
even though it's mostly about women wearing the hijab and covering theirselves
its a pretty powerful piece, in my opinion.

The Mask

the face that you see is a mask

a million and each with a task

Music of the Week

Certain songs have an effect over me.

and i think this pretty much applies to everyone else

I've just discovered and re-discovered a few songs that I believe are truly madly deeply awesome!

these songs' music and lyrics just creep to the core of me

like chicken soup for the soul

here are the songs that are currently stuck in my playlist. prepare to be shocked! =P

1. Down by Jason Walker

2. Illuminated by Hurts

3. Plug In Baby by Muse

4. Run by Leona Lewis (though Snow Patrol's version is undoubtedly better)

and the 2 shocker songs areeeeeee

5. Wanna be where you are by M2M

6. I Will Come To You by Hanson! XD

Dugaan Solat Terawih

Salam and good                  (insert morning/afternoon/evening/night here)

mari bercerita.

tadi aku gi solat terawih kat our brand new neighborhood surau. this surau is literally a stone's throw away. so kalau x pegi, mmg nampak sgt laa syaitong(yg x kena ikat). make aku pon pegi dgn semangat nye

sampai2 surau je, ngantok. hantu betol

anyway, lawan laa the urge to sleep. dah solat terawih sampai rakaat ke 8, mate jd segar sket. ALHAMDULILLAH! make ingat nk sambung laa sampai 20. gigih aku ke saf depan skali, aku dok jarak 3 manusia dr org belakang imam.

Takbiratul ikhram.

BURRPPP!!
(bukan aku laa sengal. org sebelah)

ok xpe, tahan nafas. BURRRPP lagi
kau biar betol..?
dan sambung orchestra burp. ada die sendawa dlm 5-6 kali 1 rakaat.
kalau sendawa keluar angin je xpe weii..tp makk aihhh
aku tau laa kau dah puas makan gulai lemak masak cili api dgn sambal udang td, tp x perlu laa kau nk bg semua org(lagi2 aku) tau dgn bau nye yg setelah masok perut kau dan keluar balik bau mcm harem!

yg best nye bile die burp, pastu aku tahan nafas. pastu bile dah out of breath, terpaksa tarik nafas byk2. AMEKKAU! die reload! mmg full blast aku kena. pening kepala terus di situ. pastu aku rasa aku hypoxia sket sbb tahan nafas byk sgt

and tambah lagi, die byk gile bergerak dlm solat! die  asik dok pegang ketiak die, pastu pegang ketayap die, pastu pegang leher die. every 5 seconds die bwat benda sama!!!! mcm tgh make sure ketiak die x basah lg, or ketayap die x kena curi lagi ke ape!

ada at 1 point tu, aku dok kira brape kali die bwat 1 movement tu. nasib baik aku berjaya snap out of it, and focus balik kat solat aku sendiri! haha

aku ni dah laa payah nak khusyuk dgn tahap iman yg x bbrp nak ada di hati ni. pastu tambah lg dgn bom2 sendawa beliau, pastu dgn pergerakan taichee jiran sebelah ni..pastu tambah lagi aku dok tahan kentut sejak habis solat isyak...penat kau tau x nak kemut memanjang! zzzz

anywayyy, lepas 4 rakaat bersebelahan dgn beliau, aku decide nk melarikan diri. gi saf belakang, pastu bile solat, naik depan balik. tp ada 3 org between aku dgn org tu kot.

at last! bole solat dgn aman sampai habis witir! tp aku still dgr bunyi org sendawa dr belah kanan aku. hahaha

gamba ni lawak. hahaha xde kene ngene pon dgn kisah di atas

anggap laa ni sbg pesanan dr penaja! =D

SELAMAT MENYAMBUT BULAN RAMADHAN!

=D
