What value left is there
in this world I live in?
I start thinking its all meaningless
or maybe I’m just tired?
In exchange for something I got
I gave up a number of precious things
but it’s not such a peaceful world
that I can lament each and every one.
What kind of dreams should I envision?
What kind of hopes should I take with me as I go forward?
These questions seemingly impossible to answer
Get buried in my day to day life.
If you were here I wonder what you would say?
you’d probably say I was being “gloomy” and have a laugh.
I just wish i could see your gentle smile

So this melancholy of mine would blow away
even if it’s a light like fireworks
that can never be caught
one more time, one more time,
 one more time, one more time
I want to reach out for it.
We all carry sadness with us
but we hope for a better tomorrow
I wonder to what extent we can love a world
gripped by fear, thrown into unrest?
I get choked up on the words ’cause I think too much
I hate how clumsy I am
Yet oddly enough, I hate more how skillfully I can pretend.
Whether we spend the years laughing or crying
time passes evenly
the future is calling to us
are you, now, hearing it too?
Even though we knew from the start
that we’d eventually have to say goodbye
one more time, one more time, one more time, one more time
and as many times as I can, I hope to see you again.
I never imagined that simply meeting you
could make the world seem so beautiful
would you laugh at me for being simple minded?
I want to say “thank you” to you from the bottom of my heart.
I wish my heart flowed fast and smooth like water
so that it would not settle in one place.
For all those times when I need to see you
for those times when I’ll miss you so
one more time, one more time, one more time, one more time

I want to imprint you firmly in my memory
We all have our problems
but we hope for a better tomorrow
I wonder to what extent we can love a world
gripped by fear, thrown into unrest?
one more time, one more time,
one more time, one more time…

Bismillah,

"Fuyyoh! Macho ah.."
' Pandainya!!!'
"Mantap.."

Pernah dengar kata- kata seperti ini yang ditujukan dengan penuh rasa kagum pada diri anda? Hehe, mesti pernah punyalah .Pujian adalah sangat sinonim dengan manusia. Satu cara mudah untuk melahirkan rasa kagum yang ada pada hati. Namun, apakah pula cara terbaik untuk menzahirkan rasa penghargaan dan rendah diri kita kepada pemilik pujian- pujian tersebut?

Respons normal yang biasa diterima:
"Mana ada, biasa- biasa je ni, ada je yang lagi terror."
' Rezeki ni,Allah nak bagi'
" Hehe, biasa jela."

Salah ke berkata begitu?

Ntah, saya pun tak tahu.
Tetapi, di sini saya ingin kongsikan, satu cara yang saya rasa sangat bagus apabila kita menerima pujian.

Bacalah:
"Allahummaghfir li mimma la ya' lamun, 
wala tu aahizni mimma yaqulun,
waj 'alni khairam mimma yazhnun"

Maksudnya:
"Ya Allah ampunkanlah aku dengan apa yang mereka tidak tahu,
dan janganlah Engkau ambil daripadaku apa yang mereka katakan,
dan jadikanlah aku lebih baik dari apa yang mereka sangkakan."

Hebat bukan doa ini.
Mengingatkan kita tentang dosa kita yang tersembunyi yang hanya kita dan Allah sahaja ketahui dan mungkin kita sendiri telah terlupa serta dalam masa yang sama, menyedarkan kita bahawa nikmat ini boleh sahaja Allah tarik pada bila-bila masa.

Dan Tuhan kamu berfirman: “Berdoalah kamu kepadaKu nescaya Aku perkenankan doa permohonan kamu. Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang sombong takbur daripada beribadat dan berdoa kepadaKu, akan masuk neraka Jahannam dalam keadaan hina. (Ghafir:60)
