this is a fictional story that i have to write as an english exercise for a lecturer. he liked it and am proud of it. though i feel like a p6 kid writing a composition of a bad nightmare. here goes, only the first part of it. have yet to complete it.
Dawn has greeted the world. The blue and yellow hues of the sky is a welcoming sight, bringing promises to be fulfilled. The coolness of the morning air, the visible dew drops on the leaves, chirping birds, it is indeed a beautiful day, thought Mak Teh. (that's my nenek kebayan)
"I should rise now," Mak Teh thought aloud. Her mind is already reeling with the tasks she plans to accomplish today. Failing to plan is planning to fail, and she is not about to fail this fine day! She slowly made her bed. Her humble wooden bed, holding a thinmattress and a feather-filled pillow, covered with a faded blue bedsheet. Still, this has served her resting needs all these years. She really meant it, all these years.

lake house
i was watching The Lake House for... i think... the fourth time. and i can never understand how the communication between 2004 and 2006 could possibly happen. and how they can actually meet on 2008 at the lake house!! i just don't get it!! it's a beautiful story all the same but where's the logic to it?
if this kind of relationship really works than i would love to have one. a keanu reeves look -alike architect who sent a random email which finds its place in my inbox and surprise2, we have actually met but i did not realise it and fate brought it that we meet in 2008. ok i have one more year before 2008 to work that out. do relationship involves mathematics??

Ma'al Hijrah 1428
you know I was thinking...
it's the new Islamic year. Think about it, it's only 1428 years ago that our beloved Prophet Muhammad SAW was perfectly breathing and alive. walking on this earth spreading the Words of ALLAH. it seems short yet so long ago. GREAT MAN. Praise be upon him.
It's how we always forget this simple things and be complacent with the life we're living. That we forget our task. It's like looking at other people and just thinking: Do they know what they're doing?? do they know why they are even living?? Do I know why I'm living?
Sometimes i'm looking at people and thinking that they're doing what they're doing because they think they need to fulfill the rules of life, materialistic, hedonistic, utilitarianistic, idealistic. we do because we have to be on par, to be on the same status with ithers. I feel like a hypocrite but what guarantees that I'm unlike them?? I could be worst than them? looking at the students at the place i'mstudying...what are they thinking? bearing an Islamic education to their name, when they grad, what are they going to do? do they think that it's even important to realise that they have an 'islamic' background? what is this identity that we're upholding?? we're just lost.
and me? what have i done? is my knowledge good enough to be a spokesperson of my religion? seriously, i don't think i'm good enough. there's still just too much that i have not learnt!! and I feel like i'm running out of time. i haven't been reading enough. i haven't been doing well. So help me Lord.
time will tell we say, but i say... time is most unpredictable, it doesn't tell, it reminds.
