Wish upon God (not star)

I've always had this ideal image of a woman I'd like to be;
- an obedient daughter that wont have the heart to hurt the parents,
- a strong wife that would stand by the husband through thick and thin
(with the image of Wan Azizah staying by Anwar through all the difficult times in my mind),
- a protective and loving mother that is able to care and guide the family in this worldly world.

All in all, I'm saying that I wanna be a good person, as a good person will totally do all of the mentioned.

How to become good?
By becoming closer to God.

Thinking deep, I should be really grateful of what I have and what I'm experiencing now. It's a preparation to achieve all those traits I want. It's a path to eternal bliss. Definitely not straight as ruler, nor smooth as silk. Good things come to those who have faith, those who believe.

It's the road less taken, but it's the road that should be taken.

Pray for me.

*People that change after a certain occasion in their life are not hypocrite, they just need something to hit them bad to wake up. And this is my wake up call (hopefully). InsyaAllah.

senyum

manis bicara,
senyum sentiasa,
bukankah ia sangat luar biasa?

lemah lembut,
tawa tertutup,
tidakkah anda terpaut?

kerna sifat ini bukan mainan sahaja,
kerna sifat ini untuk yang terpilih jua,
maka jangan mencari yang lengkap,
sempurna,
kerna cinta itu bisa menutup segala,
biar cacat cela pada sifat zahirnya,
jangan disama sifat batinnya.

andai itu jadi ukuran,
pastikan ia berlandas pada yang satu.

senyum,
kernanya mesra menguntum.

Soulmate

I love the white seagulls; flying in flocks ready to drop their poo on your face
I love the ducks; walking proudly like full big fat ladies
I love the blooming flowers, that never fail to fascinate every step I take
I love the warmth of the people, always greet with smiles you can never replace

I love them all when I'm with the soulmate that I found
For almost 5 years if you count
I love the green lush that spreads across the ground
But even if this beauty fades without sound
And you're carrying burdens of a million pound
You know I'll be around
For a hundred year to come

Because you are the soulmate that I found.
