let's help!

Assalamualaikum to my dear Malaysians.

i saw this video by Health Equity Initiatives and i was moved by it.
how little i know about forced labour and human trafickking of refugees.. they came here, escaping from the sufferings they faced in their country, only to find, they still couldn't get peace..

i don't know what it feels like to be a refugee, but i imagine it must be really tough!

alhamdulillah i'm not and i don't have to be one.. =')

now we've all talked about making changes in the world, kan?
i'm sure you've had those times when you sat with your friends, discussing things about politics or business or lifestyle that kononnya your ideas can make our world a better place. kan?
i'm sure, like me, you want to help when you can. right?
so let's!!!

to help stand up against forced labour and human trafickking, you can go to this link here: http://chn.ge/heimalaysiapetition and sign up the petition.
really easy and insyallah, we'll make a difference!

"small deeds done are better than big deeds planned"

ingenieur life

lately i've been quite stressed out with my life.

i haven't been eating nor sleeping right.
after work, i think about work, when i sleep, i worry about work, when i wake up the next day, i'm afraid to go to work.
all this constant thinking and worrying is because of my projects which i'm leading and i as the youngest engineer to do so, i lack knowledge, experience and sadly respect.

i've been running around the factory, trying to get things done, driving around to places to find parts which are always 'urgent' and at the same time, making sure that everything in the office is under control. nak buat process engineering and being a project leader at the same time is not as easy as i thought..

and to top things up, recently i just learnt something about myself that i'm not proud of.
and i have to thank my cousin for that. =)
we're so aware about the faults of people around us (whether we know them personally or not) but honestly, how aware are we about our own faults?
change is good but never is easy, especially if the change is for the better.

but now my head hurts just thinking about the many changes i have to apply on myself and of course, managing work.

i know i should just chill. but i can't.
i have a dateline to complete my projects, have the technicians to at least respect me enough to listen to me, to come up with a system to make work more manageable, and change.
it's not that i'm unhappy, i'm completely happy! but i'm just wound up with work.

hope it'll be ok soon, once i habiskan projects 5 ketul ni, i nak chill lama-lama and i hope the next time i'm going to lead a project, i'll gain these people's respect. pastu i nak muhasabah diri.
haha!

a wise person once said to me,

'the test gets harder when the reward is better'.

hopefully this is my test, and hopefully i can overcome this phase in my life.
insyallah =)

kepada adik2 saya,
jangan la nak rush rush nak bekerja. earning your own money sounds cool and stuff, but remember, you have to work for it. sabar k? =)

k la. lunch hour dah habis. time to sambung kerja.
assalamualaikum =)

case compare dan complain

assalamualaikum~

i don't really remember where i saw this, but a while ago, i macam ternampak (again i forgot where) a group of girls comparing themselves with random people.
example:
"cantik nya maria selena gomez (pun boleehhh).. untung lah.. dah la boipren asbieber (pun boleeehhhh)"

"untunglah husband hot"

"untunglah dia kaya"

"untunglah ni.. untunglah tu.."

- these are only examples ok! =p

so back then when i saw these kinds of comments, it's like.. men-downkan i.
i lak yang down! padahal diorang duk sibuk nakkan apa orang lain ada. motif kan?
but see, i rasa sedih tu, sebab we shouldn't compare.

rezeki diorang camtu, nak buat camane?
so what if we don't have their rezeki. we're all blessed anyway!!
we can read right? else you won't be reading this.
we can see right?
we can eat, taste, drink, talk, we can do so many things!
whereas there are people who are less fortunate than us. some can't see, some can't hear, some don't even know what internet is!

we are blessed.
we are fortunate enough.

it's time to stop comparing and complaining. i've made a video already about it kan? 'who wins' tu.
and here, i nak relate kan ngan bloggers. (and i'm sorry i bring this up)
a few times some people tag me on their blog posts, and some posts are about the number of followers on blogs. pastu duk compare compare. honestly, i rasa itu tak perlu.

anyway, when you compare, chances are; you'll become competitive for no good reason, you'll forget the rezeki that you already have, you'll become spoil in your own world, wanting and craving for something only you know, and because you can't get it, you'll get depressed. and when depression looms, negativity will become part of you.
when you complain, you're just wasting your time! lagi lagi when you complain and do nothing about it.
you can compare and complain, but there has to be a limit..

and we can't wish we're someone else or live someone else's life because it's not possible.
someone once said to me
"susah tau jadi i.." pastu ada sadface.
and i thought, well, it's never easy for anyone.

Allah swt has given us life, the life we're living, and is it 'nice' of us if we wished we can have another person's life?

be grateful. that's all it takes.
not confidence, not arrogance, not make up, not clothes.
nothing of the sort.

just be grateful.
maybe it's time to stop all this 'untunglah' thing. kita lebihkan 'alhamdulillah'. =)

if you really cannot get through the toughness in your life, you can't stop wanting something you don't have,
then here, let the words from Allah SWT guide you:

Surah Al-Baqarah

taken via phone (instagram)

and so much more =')

life is amazing! we are all amazing!

it'll be a waste if you can't see how amazing it is (because you're too busy comparing and complaining =p)!

if you can, take some time in a day to read the Quran. =)

insyallah you'll learn new things everyday. and together, we share la ya!

حي على الفلاح

"hayya alal falah"

marilah ke arah kejayaan.

ps: sorry if i offended anyone. just want to give a friendly reminder =) sometimes we need that right! ahak!

peace.
