Just don't 'use' me

The word ‘ask for help’, ‘want your help’ can be changed with ‘using you’.

They want your help.
They are using you. 

Can I ask you to buy a burger for me?
Can I use you to buy a burger for me?

Can I ask you to bring me the lunchbox?
Can I use you to bring me the lunchbox?

See? It happens to anyone until at certain point you realized that it is not about helping anymore, it becomes something else and it gets on your nerves.

Maybe once or twice, it will be a pleasure for you, but the next time people ask you for help, you won’t feel the same anymore. You started thinking that people are using you, because to them you’re very nice and too polite to say no. Sounds like you? It shouldn’t be.

How to avoid that feeling? Be sincere. And do everything for the sake of Allah. If you do this, your anger will not come, your sincerity will embrace you, your humbleness will begin to show, your ‘sacrifice’ will be the reason for you to enter Jannah. All this can be the reason for you to be qualified enough to enter Jannah.


If you do this, let’s just think that one day Allah will reward you for what you did. You help people, (although you think differently), Allah will surely help you back.

Yes, I am talking to myself and talking to the world reading this. PREACH!

Apa rasanya bila habis belajar

Salam sejahtera. Maafkan keterlaluan ku dalam mengabaikan ruangan menulis ini.

Masa dulu, saya selalu fikir nak habis belajar awal. Tulis macam - macam seperti ini. Sekarang, masa tu hampir tiba. Gila lah. Cepatnya masa berlalu. Dulu selalu bising kata belajar makan banyak masa. Sistem pelajaran di sini terlalu banyak dan terlalu lama. Memang betul pun. Tak tipu. Saya masih setuju dan rasa semua tu betul.

Bila nak habis dah belajar, saya mula rasa sayang nak tinggalkan U ni. Rasa macam, alaihai, memang tak datang dah la kat Gombak ni. Rumah tetap pun kat Kedah. Macam mana dengan kawan – kawan, memori, events, pemandangan di sini. Saya mesti akan rindu tempat ni. Even sekarang pun, belum keluar lagi dah rasa macam ni. How would I live without you? I want to know. How would I live without you? Tetiba.

Lepas ni, kena mula fikir fasal kerja tetap, simpan duit, daftar itu ini, cari kereta sendiri, kumpul duit, belajar jahit belajar masak, mungkin sambung belajar, atau kahwin. Semua kena fikir dan kena mula jadi matang. Kalau boleh, saya nak kekal muda saja. Dan belajar sahaja kerjanya.

Tapi, orang kata, kita kena belajar sentiasa walaupun bukan di sekolah atau universiti. Hidup kita sentiasa belajar, ilmu kena sentiasa ada. Kalau dah habis belajar pun, kena belajar jugak dengan sendiri. Beli buku ke, hadiri majlis ilmu ke, tengok halaqah ke, semua kekal belajar.

Cuma bila dah mula bekerja dan bekerjaya, mesti kita lebihkan kerja kan. Terabai sikit ibadah sunat atau majlis ilmu. Balik kerja mesti nak rehat. Itupun kalau boleh rehat lah. Kena mula rancang dan tanam keazaman. Berapa dah umur Atirah sekarang ni? Teruk lah.

Tuju pada diri dan tuju pada yang mahu. 

Yesterday was different

Warm breeze touching my face,
Doesn’t bring cold, doesn’t bring gold,
Neither brings comfort,
Not even cozy,
Just normal and cannot hurt,
But yesterday rain came,
Pouring hard and alive,
Indeed this is home with no replace.
