MAK CIK SARIAH

My addmath teacher when I was in highschool told me

"Be significant, wherever you go."

My 16-year-old brain couldn't understand that of course, too young too dumb to realize. I thought what she meant was for me to be the best in whatever I do, be kind you know leave mark wherever I go. Just that, I couldn't see the impact of being significant.

Well, that's not technically wrong, it's just I didn't understand the purpose of being significant at that time. Being me, I need reasons to do things. You need to tell me WHY before you ask me to DO. 

Until one day I heard my favourite makcik kantin in my primary school passed away. She was one of the highlights during primary school - she put on a smile every time she saw me, she didn't have much but that didn't stop her from giving, best makcik kantin ever!

That's when I realised - one of the importance of being significant in your life does not only for this world but for the hereafter, imagine how many people are praying for my beloved Mak Cik Sariah because she left a significant mark in our life because of the way she treated us, she was the best at her job, did everything she was capable of - making us feel like we were eating at our home.

Al Fatihah to my beloved Mak Cik Sariah.

Social Media Detox

It was all started about a month ago, life was crazy at that time, one submission after another, school had a series of events before the academic year ended and I was freaking tired. To cut the story short, I randomly uninstalled my social media applications on my phone and dang I think I said it few months ago to go social media free by the end of this year. I haven't reached to that point yet, still scrolling down Twitter before I sleep but I am off Instagram and Facebook for quite some time already. There are times I feel like yknow reinstall those apps again but man my 24 years old brain cannot even remember the password. But LET ME TELL YOU I feel much calmer, less insecure and no unnecessary sakit kepala! Thanks to my forgetful mind, I stop checking on social media every 2 hours, scrolling down people's feed or timeline(whom I don't even know) and putting the pressure on myself (because I haven't achieved what people have). It's true lah afte...

Death end road.

It may look like a death end road, things beyond this junction are too blurry thus it makes those who want to try walking pass that stop feel eerie, but I will pick up piece by piece of my courage to step on the thorny path, because I need to. Things are going to be tough, it will be a living hell but I have had enough of this pain, I’m not going to live with this pain supressed to every inch of my rib. Not anymore. I’m going to outlive this pain. Hasbunallah Wani’mal Wakeel Ni’mal maula wannikman Nasir. “Sufficient for us is Allah, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs.”
