I'm feeling feverish this past 2 days. I have the sore throat, flu, chills, fever breath and heavy head but no fever. At least if there's fever, I can take something for it. Now I just walk around the house feeling a little bit like a zombie or walking on the moon. I'm trying home made remedies like honey and warm water hoping to get well soon.
So despite planning to enjoy the Year End Sale atmosphere like getting myself a new handbag, pants and blouses, going window shopping and blending with the crowd, I decided to just stay at home and recuperate. Sigh! It's a tough decision really because I've been looking forward to my free time so I can go shopping but maybe there's a good reason why I shouldn't be out there in the crowd despite the end of year end sale today. There will be many more sales in future so I just have to be patient. I also got a tip from Jusco salesman that there'll be Jusco Member's Day soon. I don't really like to join the crowd during Jusco Card Member's Day but there are a few things that I really need. So I'll brave the crowd, get what I want and get out of the place fast!
2010
It's New Year already and we kinda have the first 2 weeks planned and the time seems to come and go in a rush. I've just finished reading an article by Dr. MAZA entitled "Mencari Keberkatan Masa" and his writing gives me new insights and I'd like to share my thoughts here as a reminder to myself and other readers.
Everyone has the same 24 hours in a day. Some seems to accomplish much during that 24 hours and some seems to be running around in circles not accomplishing anything. We may have forgotten to find the 'barakah' in the time given by Allah that we may have taken for granted. We assume we are going to have that 24 hours day in, day out. We delay, postpone and procrastinate some activities thinking that we have all the time in the world to do it later. What if we don't? We never know when our time will come to meet our Maker.
We are healthy now, we may get sick in future. We are able to support ourselves now, we may not have the same luxury in future. We may have great plans, dreams and aspirations in our lives but without His consent and 'barakah', we may not be able to achieve and accomplish what we want. So do not forget to pray and ask from Him to bless our time.
"Ya Haiyyum, Ya Qayyum, dengan rahmatMu daku memohon pertolongan. Baikilah seluruh urusanku, dan janganlah Engkau serahkan diriku ini kepadaku walaupun sekelip mata." (Riwayat an-Nasai)
Have a great 2010 everyone :)
Sunflower gives the connotation of cheerfulness, bright, jolly, merry... you get the idea! However, if any content in this blog didn't fit the cheerfulness implied by its name, look at it this way... I'm putting down all the wretchedness, gloom, melancholy feeling in here so I can continue living up to the expectation of making the association to the sunflower.
