A New Start

Assalamualaikum. For your information, recently, I had passed my A-Levels and had been given the wonderful opportunity of furthering my studies abroad.  This is actually my second week in New Zealand.  So, I think I would like to share something today.  One of the things that amaze me, being in a foreign country, is how different the 'racist' issue is, opposing to the way the media had been portraying it. Instead of being judgemental and mean, non-Muslims are actually curious as to why we're wearing a hijab, as an example. They aren't close-minded, they just don't understand. Everyone has a different way of facing their fear of something they don't understand. That's just how human are. My point here is that instead of enhancing the hate built by the media through their portrayal of Islam, help the non-Muslims understand what Islam actually is. Be the Muslim that is expected of Islam. As cliche as it seems, you can actually make a diff...

Assalamualaikum. Compared to the original version by Meghan Trainor, All About the Bass (which is all about empowering plus-sized girls and loving yourselves), a version that I found, entitled Mokmel, represents the point of view of guys on how they think of overweight girls. To me, this song is quite sweet as it carries the statement that 'Eventhough you're fat, I still love you'. As claimed before, I'm a hopeless romantic. Who wouldn't want a guy that doesn't care about our fatness and loves our inner-selves, right? The title of the song is an abbreviation of the word 'gemok' and 'comel'. Gemuk + Comel = MokMel So, drum roll pleaaaase! Lirik lagu MOKMEL (parody All About the Bass by Meghan Trainor) Oh sayang walaupun kau gemuk, kau gemuk Kau comel Walaupun kau gemuk, kau gemuk Kau comel Walaupun kau gemuk, kau gemuk Kau comel Walaupun kau gemuk, Kau comel, el, el Biarpun beribu gadis di sisiku D...

Assalamualaikum. I've been putting off posting for a while since my mood had been down for these couple few weeks. Sometimes, I just don't know why... Ok, fine. I do know, but I don't think I have the guts to write it down here... Before you ask, No, it's not because of 'the girl problem', so step away from that subject. It's a sore subject. Move on from the sexist jokes please. Anyway. Moving on. I think, sometimes, it's ok to be firm when you're making a decision. Yeah, maybe someone's heart may be trampled along the way, but if it means that you could achieve your goal and, in a way, protect yourself, just do it. Right? I'm gonna be vague here, so just keep up with me, and try to understand. I'm not saying that you should be vicious and mean in order to achieve happiness. What I'm trying to point out is that sometimes, what we think is good for us may not seem to be the best after all. I don't ...

Assalamualaikum. Let's talk about books today, shall we... Reading has always been one of my favourite hobbies. I'm a romantic. I can't deny that. So, my reading preferences would usually be from the romance section. However, there are a few things that kind of bugs me when reading a book and could eventually kill my mood of wanting to finish reading it. What is it? Well... 1. Weak heroin characters. I'm not a feminist, but I believe that in relationships, being firm and strong shouldn't only be applied by guys, but also girls. I hate it when the female characters in a book are; Too Forgiving For example, when her boyfriend a.k.a. the main character, practically cheated on her, he's easily forgiven due to the fact that 'she loves him too much' and 'everyone makes mistakes'. Yeah, I know second chances should be made available, but not in the span of A WEEK! He cheated on you! Too Clueless Oh my God.  Please don't...

Assalamualaikum. I'm now going through a state where people refer as 'Writer's block'. What is it? Mr. Wikipedia said that; Writer's block is a condition, primarily associated with writing, in which an author loses the ability to produce new work. Oooo.. Now I get it why some people stop writing all of a sudden. Your mind is completely BLANK. You've got nothing to say or write. So, I should stop now to go clear my head and gain some 'intelectual' ideas. Ok, bye. Salam.

Assalamualaikum..  Yesterday, Malaysia was blew off with the news of  "Court Victory for Transgender Rights". What I think? This country is encountering a downfall. I'm not going to be a hypocrite by saying that the Islamic ways the Malaysian society practices is the best, but I expected more than this c*ap. I'm not that pious. I know. I'm far from it. But then, I know when something isn't right and this is one of it. Islam is a way of life, so Allah has made His rules perfect for us. No one could ever deny that. However brilliant you are, however perfect you are, you're not God. So, if you expect me to be one of those who accepts this just because the court says so, then, you're dead wrong. The transgenders want their 'freedom of expression' and 'rights to voice out'? Take it, but don't expect me to agree with you. You have the right to believe in whatever you want. That won'...

Assalamualaikum.. Since I'm now 20, that means that I had already went through a few different stages in my life; being a child, going through puberty and being a teenager, and lastly new-adult.  Well, I still think I'm a teen, but that's not the point. This post is a rant. Meaning of rant; 1. A loud bombastic declamation expressed with strong emotion 2. Pompous or pretentious talk or writing A rant of my life during my dark phase, my early teenage life. Somewhere in between me changing high schools. (I kind of transferred A LOT back then, so you guess which.. ^^). To me, this memory was kind of interesting  and worth-remembering. Then, I thought, "I should write it down some where!" So, why not here? Ok, once upon a time, I was literally a cipher, a nonentity, a nobody..  You know? That awkward introvert kid who's only friends with like 3 people and nobody actually bothers to know about..? I was that kid. Some of...
