Hitchike
Hari ini tamat lah practical work aku utk dairy farm
I hitchiked to Tauranga and stay in backpackers for one nite bfr i continue my jurney to palmy tomorrow
While hitchhiking, i met with a driver called Tom, we talked bout a lot of stuff along the way, then until one point
Tom: so u muslim dont eat pork, what else u dont eat?
Me: well, basicly we eat everything that u does, lamb, chiickens, cows fishes etc
Tom: As long as it is halal sloughtered rite? seashells?
Me: yeah, we can eat those, in general, we cant eat pork and for drink we cannot drink alcohol, and thats all
Tom: wat really? U never had a single sip of alcohol ur entire life?
Me: nope never
Tom: Wow, no wonder some muslims are rich, u guys never spend ur money on alcohol (kidding sound). I might even need to change my religion to islam so that i can cut the money i spend on alcohol. After that i might even own a farm!
*Then we both laugh*
Me (dalam hati): Tom how i really wish u will become muslim, hidayah ya Allah

Bed Time Story
There once was a lad who couldnt lower his gaze,
Distraught and disappointed he tried many ways,
Finally he decided to go to a shaykh well known,
And ask him advice for his desperation had grown
The shaykh said to him, indeed but you've come to ask
About something great, first though I have a task
I have a friend of mine, on the other side of town
And I have a daily gift I give him before every sun down
It was a bowl of milk almost filled to the top
He said take this here bowl and don't spill a drop!
I am sending with you a friend with great vision
To make sure that you make no mistakes in your mission!
The lad began to walk with the bowl in his hands,
Wishing them steady, he dared not break a command,
For every step that he took, his guide watched with pierced eyes
As if waiting for any mistake to arise
When his task was over he return to the sage
And said, the task is done, now show me the way!
He said, 'you have done well but first let me see,
Did you happen to see the house with the gigantic tree?
The lad said, no, I'm sorry, I was not aware
Well, you passed my uncle's street, did you see him there?
The lad said, no I did not see an uncle or tree
The milk would have spilled if I looked upward you see!
And I was so nervous because your friend did not blink,
So I watched every step, and thats all i could think!
The Shaykh smiled and said, leave now, for this task
Has answered the question you had wished to ask,
The milk that you carried with focus throughout
Was your book of deeds, much more important no doubt
If you were nervous by one who records your every mistake
Know that there are angels who write, if such allowance you make
Life is a similar journey, but to a different address,
So be gone, and focus young lad, I wish you the best!

Hidayah
Yet, when I look at myself, have I changed? become a better person? Or just the same old me? Or maybe worse?
Ya Allah, hidayah Mu tersebar pantas di bumi NZ ni ya Allah, jadikan ini sebagai asbab untuk aku mendapat hidayah juga ya Allah...

My first snow
"dekat sini time winter ade snow x?"
"takde, pernah ada sekali kot, tapi sikit sgt"
Tapi takpe, ak terus berharap yg snow akan turun di Palmy
Mase start winter, seniors semua cakap, this winter is warmer compared to previous years which are very cold and selalu ade froze, this year nak tgk froze pon susah
Harapan untuk melihat semakin pudar, dalam hati aku, hai x dpt rase snow, kalau dapat sleet pon jadi lah...
Bile tahap excitement dah terlalu tinggi, org kiwi pon cakap "dude u r not wearing any jackets, dont u feel cold? "
And more snow!

The misunderstood jewel II
It start from the last week of my exams (still have 2 more papers), A jamaat from Malaysia came to Palmerston North, it was 10 of them, 7 from kelantan (Brother Zamrey (amir), Nik Zamrey, Brother Saiful, Hj Abdullah, Hj Mustapha, Dr kamil, Cikgu Hamid) and 3 from Johor (Dr Mazlan, Brother Khairul and Brother Nurruddin) It was a total pleasure to meet them, they were amazing, they also gave Bayan in Malay in our mosque (with english translation), the best part, even the Arabs would sit and listen to their talk.
They spend 5 days in Palmy, and i decided to join them for two weeks, so this is my story
Dari Palmy, kami pergi ke masjid di Whanganui, there r about 20 muslim families living here. Most of them are Fijian, dan satu atau dua family melayu.
Hehe, sempat sight-seeing kjap mse Jaulah with Brother Nik Zamrey
After 2 days di whanganui, we continue our journey to Hawera, as usual, sebaik shj smpai, we will do taaruf to the local ppl after prayer. Dekat sini, we also met a new moari brother nme Salman from Hasting, he tells us his life story, die dulu seorng drug dealer, hidup die mewah sgt, but as soon as he embrace Islam, he gave up everything, die jadi miskin sehinggakan partner die pon tinggalkn die (bile dgr kisah die terigt kisah para sahabat2 yg tinggalkn harta semata-mata kerana Allah) Allah indah sungguh pengorbanan itu. But now, with bless of Allah, life is getting better for him, his partner now also hve embrace Islam dan they r now married :)
At that very nite, a turkey brother buy us pizza,hehe delicious
Kami dihidang dgn pelbagai jenis makann, tapi Brother Saiful mnngingt kami ttg kisah seekor beruk
Beruk ni, kalau dia berada di atas bahu org ternama, dan org itu berjalan ke sana ke mari, smua org akan sapa beruk tadi, bagi makan dkat beruk tadi senyum dan sbg nya, beruk tadi akan suka, tapi bila satu hari beruk td pergi ke tempat yg sama bersendirian, beruk tadi mustahil akan mendapat layann yg sama, malah mgkin ade yang akan membaling batu dan menendang beruk tadi, same la mcm kita, bukan sbb kita mulia sehingga mendapat layann sebegini, kita bagaikan beruk yg hina tapi dimuliakan kerana usaha dakwah ini.
Dalam perjalann ke Hamilton, kami singgah disebuah masjid (x igt nme tempat tu), but it very near to Mount Taranaki which is sooo beautiful. Dekat sana kami jumpa another new kiwi brother
Amr sab tgh explain dkat die fadilat simpan janggut :)
Selepas lebih kurang 6 hari di Hamilton, kami trus berangkat ke Auckland, papatoetoe mosque
Bayan from amir saf (kne amek sorok2 sbb amir sab kate kalu amek depan2 dkut die lupa ap nak cakap) i'll give the link for the whole video later
Masjid Al Mustafa
Selepas shj selesai di masjid al msutapha, kami berangkat ke masjid Ponsonby di north Auckland untuk menyertai malam markaz. It was my last nite with the jamaat, Dr mazlan berikan bayan semasa malam markaz tersebut, bayan yg amat menyetuh hati, dan pada malam yg sama, aku mendapat berita mengenai result exam aku, Alhamdulillah, dengan izin-Nya aku dapat menerus kan bidang veterinar.
X payah nak cerita sgt ttg exam haritu sbb aku terlalu byk tggalkn soalan until i feel like giving up vet. Tapi hebatnya berdoa
Kekalkan aku dalam usaha ni ya Allah
Sungguh sedih utk berpisah dgn mereka, i learn a lot from them, as days past, bond grows between us, we feel like family... indah sungguh usaha ni, InsyaAllah moga kita berjumpa lagi :)
Alhamdulillah lakal hamdu wa laka shukr, ya wa jidu (doa ketika makan yg diajar oleh seorng maulana di bangladesh x silap, seorng fiji brother cerita dgn asbab doa ni, sakit perut dia (he got it for sometime) trus suddenly hilang

My old love
So this is my story...
All my life, ive been wanting to be a ZOOLOGIST, yes i dont lie, still remember my 'folio kerjaya during F5, it was entitled ZOOLOGIST, the mock interview? Yes also zoologist... But?? why taking vet now?
Its all start after SPM, i had everything planned, i applied for UPU hoping to do Asasi Sains in either UPM or UM and from there to further into zoology course or marine biology course in any IPTA... Yes everything planned, i noe people said that it'll be hard to get jobs when u r doing these courses and even that u r fortunate enough to get a job, i wont pay much. But i dont care.. Itu semua rezeki Allah kan?
But everything change after SPM result came out, i never expect to get what i got... So with the result, I applied JPA, im quite dissapointed at first, because JPA obviously will not sponsor student for zoology or any course related to it. So the closest is VETERINARY... It took me some time to make the decision before i applied for that course, and thought, i may not going to get it anyway... I still remember when me and my fren Abu Zarim having problem nak dptkan cop pengetua (pengetua xder kat skola waktu tu) mase nak apply JPA, somting like this:
Abu : mcm ne ni, x dpt cop
Aku: entahla
Abu: Ni hri da jumaat, hri isnin dah nak kena hantar
Aku: entahla... err, aku rase klau x dpt bende pon x pe kot
And on that day, we waited for hours merayu2 kat penolong pengetua utk cop form kitarang... I still dont get it why is he reluctant to do it, But Alhamdullilah he do it mase last minute
So, that day passed, and i got the spot vet nz(and Alhamdulillah Abu also got it: engineering france tu, Hujung bulan ni die fly gi sane, may Allah bless him =)
So i make a new plan, since it also related to animal (which indeed i love wild animal) if i become a vet, i want to specialise in wild animal and mayb continue my master as soon as possible so that, so that i can specialise in studying instead of treating....
So here i am in NZ, but... i just newly found out, one of my senior yg x lepas pre-vet, change major into ZOOLOGY... im... x terkata...
If i study zoology here, it will b far more better than wat i planned before... Is this what Allah's had planned for me? My old love, come back hoping for a spot in this heart... What should i do? Allah give me guidance....

Another poem
And does not actually need to be said.
So I pray to God that I love her,
Until my very last breath.
Wallahi, she is perfect.
Everything about her just makes perfect sense,
And every time I get lost or confused,
She is a true friend.
Ever since I was a child, we used to study on the weekends.
I mean some of the brothers liked her, and some of the brothers were obsessed,
And at first I didn't really get it, I mean what made her so different?
Until my eyes were opened wide to our sweet romance and,
Wallahi, she is perfect...did I mention that yet?
"Brother Boonaa is going crazy. He really needs help."
Please judge me all you want, but keep the verdicts to yourself,
'Cause no matter who you love, there will always be obstacles and critics.
And good looks aren't everything, but hey it's all I've really got.
And I want to get close to her because she is close to God,
So I cry my heart out, I let it all go, 'cause after rainfall must come a rainbow,
And trying to forget someone you love is like trying to remember someone you never even met.
So I can't turn back now. I can't pretend to be ignorant,
And I can't go around acting like she doesn't have me on lock.
Has me lowering my gaze because she is always on the top,
Of my mind, designed as a kind gesture to all mankind,
So I could still see her beauty even if I was blind.
And I believe everything she says, because she has yet to lie,
And if you could point out a contradiction, I would gladly say goodbye.
But you can't, so I can't get her off my mind.
No word of a lie, she is a dime.
Eleven out of ten, amen!
...I mean "ameen."
And I love the fact that she always has me thinking,
'Cause to live without thinking is to shoot without aiming.
People have a lot of questions about her, and so I don't mind explaining,
Because she has absolutely nothing to hide.
Her house is your house, and so you're all allowed inside,
But what bothers me is when people who don't know her talk bad about her behind back,
Uneducated chit-chat.
But she is perfect, why can't you all just see that?
Why don't you learn about her before you cast your stones?
We never blame love, even though love has caused plenty of wars.
You've never seen the wind, but you still know that it blows.
So trust me, there is no point in trying to break up our happy home,
'Cause the struggle only makes us stronger, the changes make me wise,
And happiness has its own weird way of taking its sweet time.
She's my other half, my sidekick on the side.
She makes me, me, we are partners in crime
Where she is, I am not far behind.
And if she's in danger, then my life too is on the line.
And it's not just a crush anymore. I want to learn everything about her,
Everything that happened before, to all of her friends, and all of her misguided foes,
And to be honest, I don't really like arguing about her,
'Cause I don't want to do her the slightest of harm,
And I'd love to stay and entertain your battle of wits, but most of you are clearly unarmed.
I love and respect her like I have been taught to love and respect all women,
So to you is your love, and to me is my religion.
Some men manipulate her and use her for greed,
Kill in her name, but her name comes from peace,
So I stand by her pillars proud, she keeps me grounded.
Reminds me to be humble; through her are all the answers,
To every question even worth asking,
And to love her, you must be able to love all human beings.
They deserve to hear her words and learn of her teachings.
She represents what's within, all my sisters and brothers,
Practiced by my kin, and praised by my mother,
A gift from Allah, sent from way up above.
She is Islam,
And I am in love

Tamsilan
Maka berkatalah si bayi kpd ibunya
Bayi: ibu2, bagaimna keaadaan di dunia luar sane?
Ibu: di luar ni ade macam2, di luar ini ada rumah, ada bangunan yang tinggi2, ada taman2 yang indah, dunia di luar ini luas sgt dan boleh menjelajah dimerata2 tempat
Bayi tadi mula kebingunggan, dirinya sudah biasa dengan kegelapan, namun dia berasa amat selesa dengan kehidupannya. Kemudian dia pon bertanya lagi
Bayi: ibu2, apa gunenya mata, kaki, tangan dan mulut?
Ibu: mata gunanya untuk melihat dunia yang penuh dgn warna warni, kaki dan tangan nanti boleh digunakan untuk berjalan dan mencari rezeki, mulut bole gune utk makan
Bayi bertambah pening
Bayi: kenapa perlu guna mata untuk melihat, sedangkan dunia (rahim ibu) gelap shj, mgp perlu kan tangn kaki dan mulut sedngkn segala makann (nutrient2 dan segalanye) bole dapat gune tali pusat ini shj... Jika ada bekal yang ingin aku bawa nnti di dunia luar sane, sudah tentu la tali pusat ni, ni la punca kehidupan bgku
Maka, 9 buln 10 hri pon berlalula... bayi tersebut dilahirkn, sebaik shj dilahirkn, tali pusat nya dipotong. Tali pusat yg dulunya menjadi pergantunggn sibayi ini td kini dibuang dan tida gune nya lagi.. pusatnya pon kini hanya menjadi perhiasan...
Apa akan terjadi pada bayi ini kalau seketika dalam perut ibunya, die memotong tgn, kaki dan membutakn matanya sbb difikirkn organ2 ini tadi x ada gunanya???? dah tentu die akan terlepas utk merasakn nikmat dunia, x mmpu berjln dn sbgnya.....
Ok now, lets think the other way around.....
Cuba bayangkn hidup kita dkat dunia ni bagaikn bayi yg berada dlm perut ibu dan alam akhirat (syurga etc) merupakn dunia selepas lahirnya bayi... Obviously, the pictures is hard for us to see and to really feel how amazing Jannah really is and terrifying hell really is. We r stubborn and only believe that the things, the wealth in this dunya give us luxuries, the women give us satisfaction (bagaikan bayi dan tali pusatnya0 and we find it hard to belive that solah, zikirullah and good deeds will give anygood to us. Its like the baby that did not believe how important his hands, foots and eyes are to him later...
So, DONT CUT OUR ORGAN (amal) IN THIS DUNYA
Satu tamsilan shj...utk direnungkn oleh diri ini
