HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Even though the greeting came a little late, nevertheless I would like to say happy birthday for for Runni and Coffee which is on the 29th and the 30th, of May.

And May it remind us that for every year that had past, a lot of lessons were learned. Where a lesson learned is a lesson earned. I would like to mention a quote from Robert Southey; 

'Live as long as you may, for the first twenty years are the longest half of your life'.

So live life at the fullest. Make do of everything you have. Enjoy the up and down thrill of this roller coaster ride and never forget the responsibility as a muslim at the same time.

The last part is where I honestly always forget.

Last but not least, a random birthday greeting. (it made me smile:)

The quote that has the biggest impact in my life. :)

Characteristics of a Single Phase Thyristor Bridge Converter

8 JUNE 2012

Its Friday today, will remind myself that there is a Jumaat prayer this afternoon. It was raining, drizzly rain and windy that day. Having a little headache probably because I had my head exposed to the rain. I was wondering what causes the headache. It is because of the sudden change of temperature. Usually I will wash my hair to avoid getting the headache. It was a tip I learned when I was young from my TokMak. It works on me, I believe there is a scientific explanation for that. 



 During the khutbah, the khatib was talking about munafikun (hypocrasy), and a couple of things I couldn't remember. My mind was in a half conscious state at that time. The khutbah that day is really directed on me. It is as if Allah had purposely make me hear about the topic . Most of the time I talk the talk, but fail to walk the walk. In summary, I lie to myself. 

Except when a gun points at my head, or any similar situations. Desperate situations. That is why now I had my watch was set 30 minutes early. And so far it works when I had appointments.


The last speech from the khutbah is; 

'never let your money, your wife, your children and your busy life distract you from reading the Quran and remembering Allah'.

I think that is all I can remember from the khutbah today. Must bring my notepad and take some notes next week:) 

And today someone's ummi had passed away. I think I know that guy, he was doing his Phd here. His mom had come visiting him from Iraq. Innalillah. Al-fatihah to his mom. The solat jenazah was done at the Stafford prayer hall at the town center. We did the solat ghaib after the Jumaat Friday prayer.

When the time comes, no one can stop it. Same thing goes with opportunity. 

I remember a good friend told me, 'time waits for no men'.
