everything happens for a reason


Everything happens for a reason...

Why we fall, why we are successful, why some are rich, why some are poor, or some who were rich then become poor and why some who were poor become rich...or why we meet some people and then loose them, why you meet others and they stay forever....everything happens for a reason. like the Malay proverb says 'ada hikmah disebaiknya'.

But what is the reason? We fail to understand this. Even I, myself today, am struggling to digest this. To my understanding, it is all linked to Allah's destiny. Sometimes things don't take place as we plan, and we end up feeling down and all depressed in disappointment. But some fail to see that Allah has open another door for them. Or maybe it is a sign from Him that it is not the direction we should take. Maybe something else much better is stored for us. 

This is something to contemplate.

As for me, it does takes time for me to realize why things never work out as expected.

Expectation is another killer word or should I say feeling. This happens even when you don't want to have any. But how can you not have any expectation. Everyone has some kind off expectations. Whatever actions they take surely there are some expectations. And when you have expectation. Then you will meet up it's best friend. HOPE.

Its all related to feelings. This is another crappy stuff. That makes an intelligent wise human being look stupid.

Hmmm I am blabbing again.

And what I experienced lately, was totally my own fault. My own expectation. The expectation which I myself  never thought it would come fall on my hands and fly away. Leaving me speechless. Only with tears and a heartache. 

I wouldn't know if I should blame some one for this. But maybe it is my own fault. Cause I developed expectations and was confident about it would be mine. Destiny had other plans I guess. There must be a reason for this to happen. It is really sad when something like this happens. It breaks you apart. 
After two days of swelling eyes and disappointment. I realized it was never meant to be mine. Just built on hope built on others words and a vision in my mind. That this could be it.

In some ways, destiny has a funny way when it plays its game. I knew it would never be mine since day one mentioned to me so, I never had any expectation until destiny itself brought it back to me and now destiny decides to take it away from me.

This surely is weird. Maybe that is why hope and expectations came to me. I am telling them to leave from my life soon. That was how the deal between us a few months back, when I fell. This time. I am OK. I fell. Cried. Prayed. But the pain is more.

I then realized Allah maybe had other plans for me. Maybe this was trying to show me something. Which I now see. I hope so. Or maybe destiny loves playing tricks with me. Or it is the 'doings of others' that I never to get attached.

Whatever has happen. It did. This will pass too.

What I need to do now is to learn to smile again. I am smiling, but there is this pain I feel in me. Like I posted on my Facebook "Kash khuda ne dill cheez nai banai hoti, na dard hota, ha khushi mehsoos hoti" this is so deep. 

Only broken hearts will understand this feeling. Now I understand how a Facebook friend of mine was going through all this while. It is really, really really hurtful. The pain wouldn't go away. Why? How did this happen? I hardly know it. It is all caused by expectation and hope. 

Now I wonder how many times a year do I have to experience this. Am I that desperate? Maybe I am. Age is catching up. I use to tell others, not to worry live your life to the max and no worries. But now I am panicking. I am panicking that my dream will not come true. I am scared. I can't afford to live this life alone without a support by my side. I should not have this fear. Maybe I felt that it was my last hope. And I lost it. 

Should I to be blamed for this. If so I think it is unfair. I have tried my all to bring some light into my life. But again and again I see failure. I see dead end now. As hope is gone. I don't see anything in future. Unless a miracle. Miracles do happen. But not sure in my case.

I need more then that. I need Allah's blessings. Loads of it. I pray daily to Allah asking for forgiveness. Begging Him to listen to my prayers. Make my dream come true. But this is what I get. Pain. Maybe I was asking for the wrong thing. 

It is totally unfair for someone to destroy one's future. Especially when you don't know that person. Just caused by some ill feeling. I don't know who, but I know, my life and future is destroyed by this person. I wonder if he sleeps well at night. 

I have no idea what did I do to deserve this from this unknown individual. It is sad. Unacceptable. But still I am living daily with it, hoping for a miracle, to be freed from this cage. I feel suffocated every time I think about it. And my only question is, What was my fault?. At this point I see destiny as unfair. Wonder if even this happened for a reason......

I just pray to Allah, to make me stronger now, make me the cheerful person the world see in me as. Hide away all my sorrows far behind a locked door. It will ache. Yes it will daily. But what can I do. Just praying to Allah one day I shall be freed from this punishment. A punishment that I don't know the reason.

The day my dream comes true. I will know that Allah has listened to my prayers. He was just testing me for being an obedient Muslim. I know He loves me so much. That I am tested at every level, day to day.

I just pray that what happen to me, doesn't happen to any other human being, because not everyone can accept it.

the unexpected

As life was moving just OK and me being getting adjusted to my early retirement.., dad's health got worse and again rushed him to the ER at PCMC. It was really worrying this time, he looked really sick.

He was in ICU for 3 days, then 4 days at normal wad...but alhamdulillah he is ok now, but one thing that I realised this time is...that my abah won't be long with us. His heart is so weak that anything can happen to him (his heart only functions 40%-60% fully)....or either with Allah's will he might will not have a healthy life after this. I will miss my dad as he was before. I really do.

I have been stressed up and in tears the whole week every time this thought comes to my mind. Some say if he takes care he can live up to 10 years...I will be very happy to see that. But there is an uncertain feeling in me, maybe I am scared to be too comfortable with this number given to me by my aunt, my doctor buddy told me he can live up to 3-4 years only and will always be in and out of hospitals. He has Congestive Heart Failure.

I have to be strong and have faith that Allah knows best, only He knows what kind of plans He have for us..Now I have to be strong to face what ever that may happen in future, I have to be strong to take care of my mother and brother, if I fail, everything will collapse. But for how long..I don't want to turn myself into something else. Sometimes I wish I had my life partner with me, to stand by me, and say hey everything is going to be ok, you are not alone, I am here to take care of it. But sadly Allah had other plans and let me to face this on my own. And I shall face this challenge. 

While writing this, my tears keep pouring. There is a heart ache. I feel the pain now. Close friends and family has shown their love, support and concerns in many ways. I thank them for that. I have been so held up with this recent incident that I even forgot my interview date. This was important to me. But I still managed attended it. To my point of view my 1st interview was better. This time I couldn't think, and I allowed myself to be nervous, and my mind went blank. This was the side effect of the stress that I have been facing that week.

What I can do now is, leave this matter to Allah, as He can provide and guide me, He knows best. If it was meant for me it will be mine, if not...there will always be other option, life doesn't end here.

Maybe looking at the figure and the benefits offered I got greedy and kind of drifted away from my actual mission and the reason I left BernamaTV. I really felt I want that job, because easy money.

I feel sad cause I have become such. Maybe financial difficulties makes you such. After knowing the fact about dad, I guess I should stick to my first option and the risk I took. By not doing so..in a way I might be cheating myself and killing my dreams to be a successful business woman. At this point, I become uncertain again, and start loosing focus of what I intend to do and should be doing.

That is  my dream and only business can make me what I see myself in future in. THE BMW or a lavish sports car lol..I do have such desires and I belief everyone does, but to make it happen, not everyone is capable of it.

I do need to earn more, maybe this is just temporary, I have to be strong, keep faith in Allah and myself. I need my confidence. I need to restructure my life. Focus. I know situations will make me drift away once in a while, but when I write here, I feel I gain my strength back to face whatever is stored for my by life. I will have craft my life. I have seen the vision which I should stick to it and not loose it.

I believe everything will be ok and work out as planned. InshaAllah....

dolce vita

Today its 19 Aug, supposed my last day at work. I don't know if my decision was taken in a haste but I surely belief it has to be done, and it is a right move that I made. I was clear of what I want, but now sometimes I am mirrored by uncertainty...Well I guess this is normal as I am still unsure if the path that I chose will lead to success, or is it 'the thing' for me. 

Thinking back it is wrong for me to have such thought coming to my mind, well I am also human, I can get shaken up. My vision now in life is to be rich and earn the success in what I belief in doing will give me a bright future, and off course I also want to be married. I can be worrying at times, but I have put a full stop to that.

I just want my business with my dad and my dream for the RR Designs takes off soon, and get really good respond. I do have to gamble, if I don't try I will never know if it worked but I do have success in my mind and heart.

Nobody likes to be in a uncertain or insecure situation may it be your career, money, or love. These three things will always haunt human as these are the necessity of life and what we believe, life is about. That is how we human has been patterned and trained to accept life. We chase for these three things. When we stop doing either one, people tend to become edgy and curious why isn't she/he is doing it. If you don't have a boyfriend it's like WHY? If your not married its like end of the world....and if you are not working with an organisation it's like "your jobless" and you need one. 

The thing is..what if I want to ignore all this for a while and live my life the way I want to. Life is too short to be following these worldly rules which has been scripted for us human by the culture. I just wana eat, pray and love. Live a dolce vita or a sweet life. Live a simple life but with high ambitious and needs, haha how is that...it means simple...I wana live my life the way I want to...

Whatever it is I really want to be somewhere in life. I really want to be successful, and I really want to make this path that I choose the path of my life.

Jo tujhe jagayee
Neend teri udayein
Khawab hai Sacha wahi

Neendon mein jo aaye
Jisee to bhool jaye
Khawab woh sacha nahi

Khawab ko Raag de
Neend ko Aag de
O o O
Angraron ko jaaye
Angraron ko jaaye
Koyalon sa jo gaaye
Khawab hai sacha wohi

Lehareein jo uthaye
Paniyon ko to uthaye

Khawab hai sache wohi
Khawab ko Raag de
Neend ko Aag de
O o O

Manzilon pe tauyhaar hai
Lekin woh haar hai
Kya khusi apno ke bin
Hai adhuri har jeet bhi
Sargam sangeet bhi

Adhura apno ke bin
Khwabon ke badal
Chane do lekin
Risthon ki lok bacha ke Barasna

kheti hai hawaien
Chum le gagan ko
Pankho ko khol chodna tarasna

Khawab ko Raag de
Neend ko Aag de

Na na na na na

Believe me, that's it.
From amongst all people,
I have loved you and have chosen you for myself.

As long as I am with you,
There is an angel in front me
You have made me never shut my eyes.

Oh god, wow!
In your eyes, I found the most beautiful words.

Come closer little by little.
So my heart and yours can find each other.
You have filled my world.
This is the love nobody has ever tasted.

Come closer little by little.
As much as you can, come closer.
You have filled my world.
And it's like you were created just for me.

Oh most kind person,
There is affection in your eyes.
When I see them, I forget the world.
Embrace me with your arms,
If I am precious to you.
Don't waste time, not even a second.

My darling, my darling.
I need you to stay next to me.
Oh darling,

retired finally....

A week before my birthday I finalized  my decision to retire...remember on my post on considering early retirement...so finally it took me 5 months to take action. I have no regrets. I am a believer of no turning back, the future always holds new experiences for each and everyone of us, and definitely cheerssss!!!

Rested 3 days, then was in by 7.30am in the morning on Monday, my dad had to look at me twice if that was me..yeah usually he calls me the useless daughter who sleeps till noon..He always says..."you will only see her at 12noon".Well I guess his statement on that is over rated as I'm usually in the living room or at least the kitchen by 11.30am..and yes 30 minutes makes lots of difference.... =) my excuse working on the late night shift a night before hahaha but seriously that is how it is.

Alhamdullilah so far so good. Today I managed to finish the 1st task by dad...so far so good...other then the usual running around the town for submission and all...I think I am a fast learner especially in matters that are important to me..plus I didn't wanted to waste any time...I hate doing nothing, it makes go nuts..I just may do anything to fill in my time..

I avoid being stressed, so I try to take things easy..or maybe runaway from things that become a bubble of stress...runaway!!!  hahaha.. I believe life has to be lived in peace and harmony...I don't want to be the 'tension main dubi hui, depressed Rasheffa..nowadays I'm R.R...Rasheffa Rashid...inshaAllah one day you will see...RR designs tagged on some cool looking clothes...I did have a vision of having my own wear, sounds cool isn't it..if my deal with GulAhmed fashion gets through, we shall this someday and someday means soon...very soon...just once I get hold of the cloth...something I have always wanted to do, this will happen, my new quotes in life is..."VISUALISE THE FUTURE, THE REST WILL FALL INTO PLACE"....

Now what I need is to be focused to climb the ladder to reach for the stars....

I am so very excited, FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS RR...its all going to coming true soon...but don't just sit around...hard work and effort will definitely will take u where you want to be..may it be the sky..but for me the stars are the limit.. ;) 
Best Wishes RR

happy birthday

Wow... it's hard to belief that I have passed my 30's and on the journey to a new phase of life. I am still startled when receive compliment about how young I look despite my age. Some even think I am in my early 20's, seriously it's a miracle to me.

And definitely its a confident booster. I feel happy people guess that I'm 25...simply 5 years younger to my actual age hahah this surely excites me.... I will surely maintain this, since I have found the formula to my everlasting youth...nope its not some poison. I realised it is all in the mind game. When you think you wana look young and be young you feel young and definitely look young. I believed in this and it is proofed. I am happy where I am today, Alhamdulillah thanks to Allah for His greatness, I have a good life.

Talking about life, no one born perfect, no one grows to be perfect, no one is perfect, you may have wonderful perfect life there is always something missing, one shall realise incomplete with out this one thing. But to Allah's greatness, everyone is gifted and lucky in their own way, if you lack of something today, tomorrow you shall be rewarded with something better. Allah knows better what is stored for you. 

Sadly not everyone understands this. On my birthday, I decided to pamper myself, went for facial, well it surely took my 3 hours but the job and treatment was satisfying, everything was going smooth till one of the beautician asked about my age, and then questioned about my status, and the next question was, 'kenapa tak kawin lagi, apa lagi yang you tunggu, muka cantik, lebih daripada cantik, jangan tunggu lagi, ni dah 31, nanti anak pun lambat dapat? well I just kept calm and smiled as she mumbled, wondering, well now I can't be telling you my life history or explaining why I am still unattached, wish I had the answer to her, I wished she just should mind her own business. Yes it use to bother me before, but now I have managed to take this issue wisely and started looking at things in a different perspective. Not everyone understands what is the pattern of life and you don't have to provide an answer to just anyone who asks. It did hurt a little..then I just smiled away, thinking 'main ab tumko kaise batao, kia hai meri kahani, kia kia saha hai maine zindegi main, ab mai janu ya Allah janey"

I am glad and thankful that I am loved by many, the greetings that I received on my Facebook, showed the warmth and love by my friends all over the world. I am glad over the years I did make good friends, who appreciate my true friendship and I surely appreciate their love and care for them. I love you all my dear friends.

The only gift that excited me was from my dad, a c$$h cheque from my parents. Thank You mommy and abah..really appreciate it..helps to cut down my financial burden in many ways. I shall use it wisely. Even though the first thing that came to my mind was to get a new watch for myself. InshaAllah I will get my ideal watch..and the hunt begins =).

I didn't really celebrate my birthday this time, the day passed like another just bit extra with special sparkle of 'its my day' in me. But surely I am planning for a treat for my family this weekend. It shall mean something as my brother was not around, I shall wait for his return over the weekend then we shall party ;)
I wish and pray all my wishes come true passing my 31st birthday. May Allah bless me and my family, with good health and wealth. I wish for a better future, a wonderful life with no regrets of my past, as past makes one to be wiser and more careful about approaching matters involving the heart and love.

I also wish to for work hard to look the best and grow younger as I age. As I mentioned before, this is what I call anti-aging ;)--best wishes to myself and my future--the true journey of life begins now...

Live life to the fullest as there is no turning back, life is short there is no point sulking and regretting, pray and smile, Allah is always with you.--ameen

change for bettermen

13th May, that's the date I last wrote down something here..its been a while..now its like the end of June. Geeezzzz...

A lot has happened in this one month. I am experiencing some level of happiness layered with some stress cum sadness cum problems. Well its not that bad, I still can smile when I think of the little happiness I am getting..feeling on cloud nine simply missed it...but I am also prepared to face the heart break..well no pain no gain so shall I say no gain no pain hahaha...well that's life.

I feel I am ok now. I am back to being myself again.Spiritually, emotionally and mentally stronger...sometimes I am just not sure if I have face it anymore but it's something I have to face.

Dads situation is much better now, but once in a while he does get sick..it comes back...but he is fighting it living it...it may be different but as long as he is trying it. Surprisingly he who has been smoking for 45 years, just stopped. Just one thing is he speaks more nowadays. Just too much. 

Work has also been stressful, I am looking for an exit as we came to know that there wouldn't be any salary review or increment for the staff. It has been totally unfair especially for us who have been striving to keep the channel alive for the past year with whatever little facilities we were provided. Surely it's time to leave. I am hoping for a call soon...Ya Allah please help me, I need a fast exit for a better future and security.

With all this stress, I have also planned a vacation to Penang among our cousins. Even this wasn't easy. This could be our last and only vacation together as its not been easy to please everyone. Some one did get hurt but who said life was easy. Usually its never one gets everything, so this is one of the case. Some did get misunderstood and blame it on me, even after explaining they wouldn't understand then who to be blamed I can just smile and wait for them to realize that my decision was right. Pray and hope everything goes well and fine..most important is for us to have fun together. Finally tomorrow...the day has come..now is for us to go live it...and face whatever it may be like...what ever will be will be....

this will pass...

For the 1st time in my life...took dad for his follow ups...reports say he is fine and recovering well, but the idea of him getting back into smoking and back to his usual social life kinda worries me...I hope he remains strong to avoid that all for now.

I never thought that will have to accompany him, usually I do go with mom, I guess dad never needed it. Now he needs it. Even mom is being more dependent on me lately, you can say I more of a runner, hoped Razwan to be around guess he has his own stuff to do...yet I still feel he needs to be more responsible and feel less stress or burdened by the responsibility..maybe he is just unaware of it that he is actually needed..it's ok let him finish his semester..may be then he will get into the picture.

Since dad had a heart attack, lots have changed, I have built a certain concern and bonding with him, ofcourse he is my father, yet may be this has bring us close..He wouldn't want to show he needs me or want to depend on me but he has no choice..I am the only one he has. There is no one else..and this also made me realise that I am the only one my parents have..I ask myself if not me then who?

The sense of responsibility for family gives me the chills of growing up, I am an adult now. Yes I was before but I was less responsible or may be carefree and have few responsibilities. Situations like that make you become one. May be before this parents were more independent then now. As age is catching, as burden increases, and more attention needed. Human stop at one point that says..look I can't manage more then this, I need assistance and when that happens...you are needed. And as for me I will do anything for my parents...I pray to Allah daily for patience and strength to face it all.

Past 2 weeks after that had the attack on the 28th April has been tough for me and mom, up and down to the hospital. And dad's 'stubborness' what another patience tester for us both..he wanted to smoke, wanted to eat well, but cannot blame him, as he couldn't understand that he had a major heart attack..only now after 2 weeks he is accepting it..what me and mom has been telling him is right...well dad's heart attack was like a heart attack to us as well..hahaha

Shukaralhamdulillah....everything is ok now, just have to be more cautious, I am more cautious, the moment dad cough's at night I am awake...and on standby if he is ok..or is he breathing fine...and praying he wouldn't experience another heart attack...my 3 times experience rushing him to PCMC at 4am in the morning has made me an expert by now hahah...jokes apart...I would never want that happen to anyone...any father or any mother..any parent...

I hope and pray both my parents will always stay healthy and well...I love them so much....

the table was never enough

I am grateful to Allah, that I have great parents who have given me every luxury ( to me whatever we can afford is considered luxury, having bit extra then the poor is also considered luxury) and freedom in life. They work hard to make ends meet, I get that drive from them  to be a hardworking and responsible person...;)

But one thing that always lacked was, family gatherings, specificly, just parents, brother & me. Those little dinner or lunch outings barely happened, I think the 1st and last we had was last year, buka puasa, it was nice actually, yeah thanks to my efforts called my dad personally and invited him for the buffet, surprisingly he agreed to come. 

Why we never had family dinners or lunch over the years was may be my dad never felt comfortable eating out, but I think he is getting the grip of it in these recent years...due to certain occasion involving me and Razwan, our birthdays at some restaurant (we needed him to pay the bill :P) hahahah or buka puasa with the bigger part of the family...but this had made him comfortable to eat at public places.

I do envy some of my cousins, and friends who have their family day out. My dad would never go. So mom would come, but now since her knee problem, I doubt that to happen. Now I see myself having more responsibilities at home. My pleasure :)

Two days back while having lunch at home, the table in our kitchen couldn't fit the three of us, dad said, we need a bigger table, I said only now u realised that, he said don't say that, you are wrong, the reason is no one was here, only now all of you are home, next year when Razwan is back in KL he, then we will need a bigger table so that we can all sit and eat together. Sigh...

I was touched the way he said it. I guess he was right, I've been away from my family since was 18 for studies, then back home, then the job was such that hardly ate at home and then Ipoh for 3 years, and now I'm home all the time, often have my lunches with parents. He is happy about that. And one thing I realised about my dad is he never liked eating alone, ofcourse mom accompanies him..mom is so sweet, now she even sit with me while I'm having my lunch alone, let it be when I am home late evening after work or I've missed having lunch with her or I'm rushing off to office...even today, I was bit late for lunch, she sat with me...feels good, but I know she is not well and need to rest, told her its ok I can manage on my own, she was like its ok I will sit with u...I kinda shooed her away coz I wanted her to use that time to rest while she can..but a mother will always be a mother, she forgets all the pains while with her children.

We never had our Sundays, even though dad use to say, its Sunday lets eat together, but me and Razwan would either sit at the dining table in the living room or eat later, why? the table was never enough hahaha..but that was our lunch together.

Me and mom decided last year on before Raya to get a new dining table for the kitchen, may be a more comfortable one..but we always failed just because there were always more interesting things to get hahahaha...we dream of getting luxury bedroom set and sofa's, window shop, oh yeah last year we were busy getting a new sofa, the old one was rotten..but after surveying at the some number of outlets we decided to settle for a moderate one something which was more practical. I love shopping with my mom. 

About dad, I think I am bonding with him now better then ever before....I remember while shopping is Lahore, I would go sit next to him while wait for the others shop. He would ask you are done? I said, I couldn't find anything worth plus my pocket is empty. Can I have some? I asked cheekily, he gave me the bundle he was having. I love my dad for that. I blew up that bundle hahahaha. I can be materialistic but that how daddy's should spoil their daughters..hahhaha lucky we are middle class I can't imagine what would it be like if we were rich...I guess would be spoil brad. hahaha and Razwan worst..he already has that luxury taste bud...but we are ok...as for me, usually I try hard not to depend on my parents.

I love my parents and my brother dearly would do anything for them.

On the 15th April, dad had a chest pain. Rushed him to the nearest hospital. While driving him there I had tears in my eyes thinking and hoping him to be OK. I had no idea what he was going through, was it a stoke..it seemed like a stroke as he was sweating and turned red. Dropped him to the emergency...he was attended by the doctors and nurses immediately. Excellent service. While was being wired with all sort of machines at the ER I couldn't look at him laying there. I had teary eyes. Mom told me to wait outside. I said OK. While seated I called Razwan, told him the situation, and after a while I felt like crying, praying to Allah for my dad's health. I kept reading ayatul Kursi, to calm me down and also to request Allah to send his angles to take care of my dad. Mom called me in said dad is OK but will be admitted for observations. Alhamdulillah. He was being very excited and cute when he realized his bed would be pushed to his room, he told he nurse 'saya boleh jalan laa' ( I can walk) he was ignored. Then he got all excited about his room once he was feeling better. Why not he was given three injections at the ER...that really helped him. Reports say he didn't had an attack...most probably due to severe gastric...he blamed the nasi lemak he had for breakfast. I ordered his lunch from his room, and he enjoyed...after feeling a little better he said take my pictures while eating. This is the 1st time I am admitted to the hospital, hahaha that was funny...I obliged...That bonded us.

I can be moody or cranky, I may not want to talk to him or answer him straight, I may show my rebellious site to him. But he never complains, he knows that I am like that. My reasons, I don't talk much to him much, because most of the time I did he misunderstood, sometimes we discuss things, our ideas clash, etc...so its better I keep things to myself to avoid hurting him and myself....as what Ili Saharuddin posted on her Facebook today, silent therapy...hahaha sometimes, keeping mum helps..a lot.

This year we shall get that kitchen table, so that all four of us can dine together..inshaAllah...dad is right "only now everyone is home"...I have no regrets leaving a better paying job, if not I would never had known if the table was enough for us... :) Amin

:) or :(

I realized last I wrote something here was in February...

Since then so much has happened, I was so frustrated to even right it down...but the pain is still fresh in me..It is not going away..daily I feel it...daily I see my stupidity of repeating the mistake...I am either too nice that some people take me for granted or I just trust people easily...really really stupid, I am not sure if I can forgive myself...but I thank Allah that every time I am to be in trouble He has always been there for me, guides me in some way that I get a His message...Allah loves me and I am glad that I am among those He watches out for...

So much time has passed...I've learned to move on..with many expectation in my heart but my mind refuses it..let it be my personal life or career.. 2 years has passed..nothing has changed but me...I feel "the rebel me" in me these days, I don't wana be nice anymore...Why am I changing...I have changed a lot I realize...Irfan even told me today that I am not the Rasheffa he knew..the fast moving and confident..I also feel that I am not me...I am loosing my confidence..this should not happen..I need this boost to continue living and surviving in this cruel and selfish world...too much pain I bared that I can't feel it..I am numb now...I just hope I don't do anything foolish...but what is for sure, now I am not going to wait and see, it's time for action for a changed me.. I've changed from my blue mode to pink but pink is not lasting, I am wanting excitement but that is not me...I see my eyes don't shine as before, I see my appetite is not as colorful as before..I see my skin is dull..I wana look great now and most important feel great too for my confidence...if you have your confidence this life is your's...

I even to Pakistan for my cousins wedding...wasn't too excited about it
Was happy for her, I had my part of fun with the gang
Most I enjoyed was the food, shopping and met my best buddy as well..
I didn't felt like going there...but still, I went....

I can't write anymore...

kab miley ga...

Surili Akhiyon Wale Lyrics

Surili akhiyon wale
Suna hai teri akhiyon se
Behti hai neendein
Aur neendon mein sapne
Kabhi to kinaro pe
Utar mere sapno se
Aaja zameen pe aur mil ja kahin pe
Mil ja kahin ..
Ohhhoooooooo
Mil ja kahin samey se pareh
Samey se pareh mil ja kahin
Tu bhi akhiyon se kabhi meri akhiyon ki sunn
Surili akhiyon wale, suna hai teri akhiyon se
Jaane tu kahan hai
Udti hawa pe tere pairon ke nishan dekhe
Jaane tu kahan hai
Udti hawa pe tere pairon ke nishan dekhe
Doondha hai zameen pe chana hai falak pe
Saare aasman dekhe
Mil ja kahin samey se pareh
Samey se pareh mil ja kahin
Tu bhi akhiyon se kabhi meri akhiyon ki sunn
Everytime I look into your eyes
I see my paradise
The stars are shining right up in the sky
Fainty words of desire
Can this be real
(can this be real)
Are you the one for me
(are you the one for me)
You have captured my mind, my heart, my soul on earth
You are the one waiting for
Everytime I look into your eyes
I see my paradise
Stars are shining right up in the sky
Fainty words of desire
Hoth mein chupke dekh rahe the
Chaand ke peeche, peeche the
Hoth mein chupke dekh rahe the
Chaand ke peeche, peeche the
Saara jahan dekha dekha na aakhon mein
Palkon ke neeche the
Aa chal kahin, samey se pareh
Samey se pareh chal de kahin
Tu bhi akhiyon se kabhi meri akhiyon ki sunn
Surili akhiyon wale, suna hai teri akhiyon se
Surili akhiyon wale, suna de zara akhiyon se
Surili akhiyon wale, suna de zara akhiyon se

retiring?

The idea of early retirement doesn't sound too bad..it does not mean your life ends..it is actually the beginning of an end...looking at things differently in life and putting broken pieces together for a better product and a better life..

We live only once, and you don't want to spend whatever little time you have slugging in the office and follow as directed (unless you can, Allah has made many kinda of human beings that function differently)..many might have realise it or may be not, that when your life style becomes stressful and you think about your job and position daily..its time to leave..turn a new page and draw out a life which gives you pleasure and happiness..and most important satisfaction...

When your job becomes a stress that has no solution or your heart and soul can't compromise anymore--it horrifies your sleeps..its obvious sign you need a break...a change and need to move on -- a new option a new platform...

Did I mention if working and trying to accept what you can't can hazardous to health?
This will also answer your question why people are dying due to stroke at the age as early as 30....I think its simple...if you cannot take it..leave it...there are always other options in life and remember life doesn't end here...

I am not only telling everyone who reads this blog about this (i know i dont have many followers hahahaha) but I am telling myself...and may be convincing myself..that early retirement can be an option for a better way of living my life...passion is one...but survival is another...happiness is what everyone seek...but it does not come to you unless you make it  happen...nothing happens or changes for itself...you have to do it yourself...make the move..yes move your bootie babeh! haahah I'm going nut...may be it will be for good...may be it might be the wrong step..yeah will sit and cry and depressed...but does this means life stops here? do you stop breathing? nope...you still feel depressed with your employer...and the conditions in the office...I thought I will think about early retirement after marriage but since it isn't happening...and it may happen before that...

Being an employee with an organization will always remain the same, same stress and the never ending problems can be the management, can be the boss, colleagues may also be the reason to stress. 'Pain like' bosses are everywhere in the world...life is not easy...if you cannot handle being an employee be your own boss...not a bad idea I guess..
Yes only then you will realize if u don't work your arse off...who will feed you..who is going to get you that luxury hand bag or those beautiful shoes...if married its ok but this doesn't mean you can strip your hubby's purse hahaha which it was possible life would be much easier...but if single as I m..Have no one to depend on hahaha...that's another stress..ofcourse my beloved parents..especially my mom is always by my side..to guide and push me further to be a better person, a better woman and may be one day a successful business person...inshaAllah...lets take on the wheels.....

yara batana payein                    but i could never tell you
batein diloki                              my feelings
dekho zubaan ki aankhein         look into my eyes
tujhe samjhayen jo baqi            they will tell you the feelings of my heart
tu jane na....aaaa                      you have no idea
tu jane na....
tu jane na...aaaa
tu jane na

milke bi                           eventho we have met
hum na miley                   we are still not together
tumse na janye kiu           i wonder why
milon key hai fasley         the distance between us are miles away
tumse na janey kiu           i wonder why
anjane hai silsile               there are many unintentional stories between us
na janey kiu                     i wonder why
sapne hai palko talein       there are dreams
tum se na janey kiu          to be with you i wonder why


such beautiful lyrics....

hot peri peri!

What shall I say, problems are always here to stay, but they are only problem when think "its a problem", that is how I used to think...since the calender turned to 2010, I feel I am grown up, mind is more mature, want to explore deeper into life, and have some responsibilities. One of my new year resolution is on the track it will take a few months before it officially becomes mine..inshaAllah it will be I believe it will be, no matter how difficult it may seem. 


I realized since I joined BernamaTV I had 2 problems in my life, one is the job itself and the other is effort into stepping in the other phase of life "the big word MARRIAGE" which has been pending since forever. Well since the beginning of this year I have changed the directions of my priorities, I thought I should not think about it much, and it was helpful...sadly my mother is the one who is much worried about it..Since the day I stopped thinking about it, she started talking about it daily..imagine how difficult it has been for me, since 3rd Jan it hasn't been a day she didn't talk about it....at this point my mind is like an atom bomb just waiting to explode and thanks to the situation at office which it seem's like never going to change...and I am actually considering to get myself another job, or shall I join my parents develop their business...it all has been so stressful, but I will have to choose one or the other, something has to be done...its not easy to be "the independent woman" all the time...life isn't getting easy, when your realize the top management is not treating you the same way as the some of the selected or most favoured people or I shall say 'the chosen ones' things get more difficult to be accepted, that is where you loose your patience...I have been very very very patient in life, have been tolerating lots of nonsense and things around me, some one told me human makes their own destiny, so I shall...but the question is...where to begin...I pray to Allah asking for guidance show me the right path...the whole journey of life is a risk...



Sometimes I wonder why do we have to chase all this...or may be I am tired of chasing it all alone...I need that some one in my life to hold my hand and run with me...or guide me..whenever I get into my dreamy mode something just strikes me and brings me back to pavilion..awakens me that its not going to happen...I have seen many times, that whenever I hope for something and start dream about it...or even feel happy 'okay this time it may work or it's mine' BANG! strike by disappointments...all these spices ingredients has made me a stronger person today...(whoever is reading this yeas im feeling really down and emotional at the moment) or may be a blunt and heartless...a smile is all I can give to the world saying I am OKAY, but if I don't tune myself to be Ok then who will....dont grieve as even Allah can't help you..I have learn that...you will always have to help yourself because no one will be there to help you when you need them the most...especially when you realize they are much more weaker then you....may Allah give me that strength to move further in life...ameen

Reaching for the stars

After all the sorrow I was going through for past few days, today finally one good news, one of my 2010 resolution is about to accomplished...but lots of research and hard work involved and ofcourse it needs well planned financing..its my wish list no3....ameen that is what I said when my mom called to inform about it...I said to myself Allah does love me, HE actually has bigger plans for me.

At least something is coming true. I have nothing in my mind but to own it...IT IS MINE!!...that is what I wanted and it is at my door step...now my hope is for the financing process to go smoothly...I might just have one problem, and that is I might not be eligible for the loan as my salary is low compared to the purchase price..this can happen...just pray i will get through this as well...

InshaAllah i will get through this also...I belief I am capable of it!

What a journey!

I was happy to spend the 1st day of my 2010 with my best buddies, went back to Sharazad's kampung in Melaka, Kampung Sg Rambai, parents were nice, they were very informative, food was splendid, fresh seafood, her dad's a fisherman, so we had fresh sea prawns for dinner...hmm I wonder what my cholesterol level will be like... hope its still close to normal as before, maybe will have a check up on Monday..


I had a good peaceful time there, mission of he trip was Gunung Ledang, we had a little picnic at rivers, just the three of us...tonnes of families gathered on a Saturday...did human watching..many characters, many stories noticed just by observing others...did i mention the toad incident? that was a cracker hahaha...fleshing back it makes me laugh. I had a good swim.We left early in the morning at 8 and were home almost 2pm, then we slept...and we slept...and we slept hahahah that what I call a good rest.


I had all the positive vibes with me, prepared to face 2010 fresh and full of energy..lots of ideas lots of expectations, but the moment I got home, mom told me about something which really dampened my hopes..I felt my world just crashed...it sadden me deep, so deep that I can't even discuss it with anyone but my mom, she was also sorry about it...but after a day, now I feel I am capable to face it. I might just have to change my route and may be never to have high expectations...this always happens...whenever I am hoping for something and feel this is it, it just crashes and hurts so much, Allah keeps tasting my patience...its OK I think I can still manage. ..but do'h who doesnt get hurt when ur expectations are shattered...


So I have decided to take things differently now, may be its a wake up call, lucky it happen at the early few days of the month, atleast I still have time to divert my life route ...well as I always say life is always hot and spicy...its only the beginning of it... ;)
