I'm back reading Micheal Scofield's mind - Prison Break Season 2. Now that Micheal and his crew have succeeded in breaking out, they'll have to erase their names from the most-wanted list and start anew. "..It gets tough before it gets easy.." - Lincoln Burrows. Just loike the way everything blends into each other. Exceedingly clever, triggers you to think of the conclusion. Do try Digital Fortress and Deception Point by Dan Brown if you find this amusing.

Look Ma! I'm Flyiiing!

All I've been wanting to do is to write. So blogging as I write; the unreadable lines that lay within the encapsulated thoughts; be read. Between opened and closed doors. I need to free it - filtered, and at intervals.

My semangat - nearly dead when it comes to weekdays, 0800 h to 1730h. Some will understand what I'm talking about. I feel that i'm in a trance, minds shut, eyes open, body working like a robot.

Like a puppet with strings pulled thin,
No words to speak but
A voice deep within.
One tone of expression,
Judge not, my audience.
Judge not.

Thankful for the situation I am, despite all the mundane-ness and et'cet-tra, I accept this. For we should all remember,

"...and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know." (Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 216)

With the abundance of rezeki - opportunities that lies ahead, insyaAllah with the imminent commencement of my new job, i hope it will be most suited and best for me. And most importantly, something that I'll love doing, not JUST a job that pays the bills.

Movies that I wanna watch all over again and again.
1. Pride and Prejudice (starring Keira Knightley)
2. The Message (1976)

Movies that I want to just watch.
3. Aaja Nachale
4. Savariya

Restless.

Restless.

I feel like packing my haversack and walking out of the school right now. But of course, I don't have the guts to do that. And that would be ethically and religiously wrong in terms of amanah. Control!!! Hardly have any work on hand since i'm leaving by the end of the month. Little errands here and there tho. Been entertaining myself sitting in front of this laptop. To add on to my restless-ness, i think I'm building up a headache. And i'm not touching any paracetamols.

I just found out that I might be lactose-intolerant. It fits the symptoms i read over a few webbies in the world wide web! Only that, I diagnosed myself with that. Shouldn't be a problem i hope since I'm not quite a fanatic of cheesy yummies.

Okeh. Finding other things to keep myself entertained to the end of the day. Toodles.

We were making our way to the car after dinner at the coffeeshop near changi beach area, and the time was around 7:15PM...just a few minutes to maghrib, when we heard a chatter of noisy crows "fighting" somewhere in the many trees near the carpark.

Naturally, my lil' sister's attention drew towards the noise. I keep warning her in my heart "Don't look up. Don't look up." But she did. And her feet was planted on the ground beside the car as my mom and myself helped ourselves to the car. Then she exclaimed "Wau...!!! Look at the gagak! There are alot of black ones around one beautiful white gagak with black stripes!!". And my mom snapped at her to get in the car immediately. Once the door was closed i said "Don't look up the trees when it's maghrib". I know i shouldn't have tegur her at this point of time when we're like just below that tree, but i did. I just had an uneasy feeling there. And, of course she didn't understand.

The thing is, the "noise" i heard, didnt really sound like crows. Tho, yes, the sound was coming from that flock of crows. In my ears, it sounds very distinct unlike the other crows at that time. Wallahu'alam.

Was just flipping through a book that i randomly picked from my shelf when I came across this. Perhaps a little something to keep our hearts ever-semangat to what we're driving at. Knowledge.

Long ago, the poet Zuhayr ibn Abi Sulma said; "A man's tongue is half of him, and the other half of him is his heart; What is left is nothing more than the image of flesh and blood."

This means that a person is essentially composed of his heart and his tongue, in other words what he thinks and what he says. Hence the importance of taking care of one's mind and supplying it with all kinds of beneficial knowledge is quite clear.

The Muslim woman is responsible just as a man is, so she is also required to seek knowledge, whether it is "religious" or "secular", that will be of benefit to her. When she recites the aayah:

"...But say, O'my Lord! Advance me in knowledge." (Quran 20:14)

And hears the hadith,

"Seeking knowledge is a duty on every Muslim," (A hasan hadith narrated by Ibn Majah)

She knows that the teachings of the Quran and Sunnah are directed at men and women equally, and that she is obliged to seek the kinds of knowledge that have been made obligatory for individuals and communites (fard'ayn and fard kifaayah) to pursue them from the time that this obligation was made known to the Muslim society.

The excerpt from this chapter also mentioned about women in Rasullulah (s.a.w) 's time when they were seeking knowledge. The Muslim women had a keen desire for knowledge, and they never felt too shy to ask questions about the teachings (ahkaam) of Islam, because they were asking about the truth, and,

"Allah is not ashamed [ to tell you ] the truth" (Qu'ran 33:53)
