About Me

My photo
i know what's right and what's wrong. i am cheerful and out going. it's hard for me to find the one that i want, but once i find the right person, i won't be able to fall in love again for a long time.

DO WHAT YOU LOVE

"Do what you love and you'll be good at it. Sounds simple enough. But what if you love reading comics, playing video games and watching korean dramas until your eyes pop out? Is it possible to make a career out of such things? What's the alternative? Spend all your time wishing you were brave enough to take that leap? Don't let fear stop you from doing what you love. Because ultimately, it's about being true to yourself."

Boring


Bismillah.

Saat diri dikuasai oleh hantu kebosanan, kahirnya tangan tergerak juga untuk berkongsi cerita di sini... 
Hmm... lamanya nak masuk sem balik. Cuti-cuti ni tak tahu nak buat apa. Bila cakap dengan kawan, kawan kata "Tulislah novel. Zmah kan suka menulis..." Memang betul Zmah suka menulis tapi Zmah bukan macam penulis-penulis yang lain yang boleh dapatkan ilham hanya dengan mengurungkan diri dalam rumah. Zmah kena keluar, tengok persekitaran dan orang lalu-lalang, baru boleh dapat idea nak tulis pasal apa dan kembangkan cerita. Tapi, sejak menghantar 30 puisi ke Pertandingan Sayembara Penulisan anjuran ITBM dan Berita Harian dan novel Semanis Kurma Cinta ke SR Publication, rasa nak rehat sekejap daripada menulis. Sebab sekarang Zmah memang betul-betul tak ada idea nak tulis tentang apa. Agaknya, bila sem mula balik nanti baru idea datang mencurah-curah macam air hujan yang turun dari langit. Amat menanti saat itu sebenarnya.

Bercakap tentang Pertandingan Sayembara Penulisan ITBM dan BH tadi, alhamdulillah setelah sebulan lebih Zmah mengepos manuskrip akhirnya dapat juga surat penerimaan daripada pihak ITBM. Risau sangat. Ingatkan manuskrip Zmah hilang ke, tersalah tampal setem ke apa. Bila call mereka, mereka suruh Zmah tunggu lagi beberapa hari sebab mereka cakap mereka belum lagi menerima sebarang manuskrip daripada para peserta.

Dalam pertandingan ni, Zmah masuk kategori puisi dan Zmah menulis puisi hanya sebanyak 30 puisi. Biarlah sikit janji berkuali kandungannya. Tak tahu kenapa rasa macam nak mencuba nasib masuk pertandingan ni. Sebab sejujurnya Zmah cakap sebelum ni Zmah tak pernah masuk sebarang pertandingan pun walaupun dikerah banyak kali oleh kakak-kakak dan emak. Zmah rasa menulis untuk kepuasan dan tujuan da'wah saja. Tapi mereka cakap apa salahnya. Tak salah kalau mencuba. Kalau ada rezeki adalah, kalau tak ada Zmah masih boleh teruskan menulis sebab menulis merupakan salah satu minat Zmah. Tapi yang peliknya tentang minat menulis Zmah ni, Zmah suka sangat tulis novel dan puisi tapi Zmah tak gemar menulis cerpen. Tak tahu kenapa. Pelik, kan? Itulah uniknya Wan Hazimah agaknya. Hehe, tapi Zmah yakin bukan Zmah seorang saja yang macam ni. Ramai lagi sebenarnya.

Pada mulanya, niat Zmah nak menyertai pertandingan ni sebenarnya macam ni, kalau Zmah menang (insha-Allah), Zmah nak jadikan kemenangan Zmah ni sebagai hadiah istimewa buat insan-insan istimewa, termasuklah emak, kakak-kakak dan para sahabat yang sentiasa mengakui bakat terpendam Zmah ni serta memberi sokongan yang tak berbelah bagi pada Zmah. Mereka jugalah yang menjadi sumber inspirasi Zmah untuk terus menulis. Tapi sungguhpun kemenangan tak berpihak pada Zmah, Zmah masih akan rasa bahagia sebab Zmah berani untuk mencuba. Bak kata orang, hidup ni kena berani ambil risiko. Kalau tidak, jangan bermimpi untuk berjaya sebab jalan menuju kejayaan tu bukannya mudah. Terlalu banyak rintangan yang terpaksa ditempuhi dan kepahitan yang perlu dirasai.

Mari kita berpindah cerita. Mula-mula macam terfikir nak cuba juga hantar novel Semanis Kurma Cinta juga, sebab peserta dibolehkan untuk menghantar lebih dari satu karya tapi hanya layak memenangi satu hadiah saja. Tapi bila fikir-fikir balik, rasa tak konfiden pula sebab novel Zmah tu bukan best pun. Isinya dan jalan ceritanya pun biasa-biasa saja tapi diakui ada mesej-mesej tertentu yang nak disampaikan kepada pembaca. Jadi, Zmah cuba lagi untuk mencari saluran lain yang Zmah boleh ambil peluang untuk terbitkan novel Zmah ni. Sasaran Zmah adalah syarikat penerbitan buku yang baru dan yang Zmah pilih sekarang ni ialah SR Publication.

Alhamdulillah, Zmah dah pun emelkan manuskrip Zmah pada mereka dan mereka beritahu yang manuskrip Zmah akan dinilai terlebih dahulu oleh panel-panel mereka. Tugas Zmah sekarang hanya menunggu perkembangan seterusnya daripada mereka. Dalam masa yang sama, sedang cuba mengerah otak untuk menulis novel kedua atau buku genre lain pula, semacam buku motivasi tapi dalam English. Tak tahulah mampu ke tak.

Kalau nak diikutkan, selama Zmah hidup 22 tahun ni, terlalu banyak benda yang Zmah dah belajar tentang kehidupan sebagai seorang remaja. Dan Zmah merancang untuk mencritakan pengalaman-pengalaman hidup Zmah dalam bentuk penulisan agar dengan itu ia mampu menjadi pengajaran dan teladan buat para pembaca, khususnya dalam kalangan para remaja sendiri. Tapi, tulah. Selagi bergelar mahasiswa ni, hidup pun bertambah sibuk. Dengan assignmentnya, dengan kerja-kerja kelabnya, kerja-kerja rumahnya, sampaikan Zmah tak tahu nak curi masa macam mana untuk menulis buku. Zmah cuba tapi tak dapat juga. Sebab badan Zmah ni cepat letih bila dah bergiat aktif. Kalau dah letih tu, faham-faham jelah kan lepas tu Zmah buat apa. Terbongkang terus atas katil dah tak ingat dunia.

Tapi tak apa. insha-Allah, rezeki Allah ada di mana-mana. Kalau kita bersungguh dan ikhlas, Allah pasti bukakan jalan. Walaupun Zmah tak dapat menulis buku buat masa sekarang ni, tapi Zmah masih boleh menulis, iaitu menerusi blogging. Banyak je wadah yang Allah sediakan, cuma macam mana kita menggunakannya.

Oklah. Berhenti di sini dulu. Sekadar mengisi kebosanan. Ada masa lagi, Zmah akan update lagi di sini.

Wassalam. ^_^

Puzzle 35: Empty






In this Syawal
I feel merely emptiness
No more happiness
Only sadness

Tears
Never forget to wet my cheeks
My whole life is dark
With so much hatred surrounds me

Why is this happening
During this noble Syawal; God's gift
I have no idea
As long as arrogance and ego
Conquer the place
Nothing could be amended
With such contaminated hearts

I wish this Raya
Only joy I experience
Yet I didn't get it
But tears of happiness
Is still running down my cheeks
For the loving and warming 
Service showed by them

In this Syawal
Although it's empty
But I'm still happy
For being given the chance by Him
To celebrate this Syawal again
With my loved ones

Cerita Syawal 1433H Zimah


Picture taken at Pantai Kemasik, Kerteh, Terengganu. Beautiful background, isn't it? :)


Bismillah.

Actually, there are not so many to story about this Hari Raya. For the first time ever in our family history, we celebrated our Raya in Kerteh, Terengganu. We paid a visit to Abang Umair's and Kak Uda's house and stayed there for about one week. Well, we enjoyed our Raya in Terengganu. Although this Raya was quite empty and pretty boring but we were happy to have the chance to celebrate Hari Raya with Kak Uda, since she has been staying far away from us.

Speaking about Hari Raya, hmm, there were a few things we did together during our Raya in Kerteh. 

We cooked together, enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Pantai Kemasik and the beach near the neighborhood together, performed Solatul Eid al-Fitri together, watched telemovies together, shoot some Hari Raya photos together, and shake hands bermaaf-maafan together. Abang Umair and Kak Uda did receive some guests. which were their own neighbors to their house but they were not many. Maybe everybody was busy visiting their close kins in other parts of the state or perhaps some of them might not return from their kampung just yet. And one more thing. Actually, we were supposed to play bunga api that night, but Kak Uda always forgot until our last day there. I was so disappointed. Huhu... 

So, the first day of Raya, we ate Nasi Dagang, ordered by Abang Umair. More interestingly, we tried to order Nasi Dagang for only a few people eating, let's say 10 people or something. But Kak Uda said the caterer did not take orders for a small number of people eating. So, like it or not, Abang Umair had to order Nasi Dagang for 20 people eating. Oh my Allah! To be honest, no one was able to finish them. I told mommy about inviting Amer beraya at our house but Kak Uda said that I needed to ask for Abang Umair's permission first. Okay, I was so scared to do so, so I just forgot about it. Sadly to say, the next day, all the Nasi Dagang had been contaminated and desperately, we threw them away. So sorry Nasi Dagang!

The next day, we ate Rendang Daging cooked by mommy. It was to tasty and fingers licking good! Mommy was truly an expert in cooking Rendang Daging. Every time Hari Raya comes, mommy will cook Rendang Daging the night before the Hari Raya so that in the morning she can just serve it on the table for people in the house to eat. Because she used to tell me that cooking Rendang Daging surely consume some times. Well, all I can say is that it's not easy to cook Rendang Daging, even I myself still don't pass the test. Hmm...

On the third Raya, Kak Uda made Nasi Lemak for breakfast. It was so cool! It was like she knew how much I mengidam to eat Nasi Lemak. So sweet of her! But the different thing about Nasi Lemak prepared by Kak Uda compared to Kak long was that Kak Uda did not serve kangkung as ulam, but Kak Long always does, but it was still awesome!

Hmm... you know what, we had spent most of our Raya just lepaking and watching some telemovies provided by Astro. Haha... what a lazy Hari Raya we had this year but still we enjoyed it very much. Even though during this Hari Raya we spent most of our time by confining ourselves in our house and in front of television, however I think it could strengthen our kinship and seriously, it truly did strengthen the bondage and filled in the gaps among us. That is one think I like about this year Hari Raya and I am grateful to Allah for that.

Okay. I suppose that's just it. I have no more stories to tell about this Hari Raya. Insha-Allah this Saturday g-13 is going to held Konvoi Hari Raya just like we did in the past years. Maybe there will be more stories about the konvoi that I can share here with you guys.

Just wait for it with patience and smile!

So long. Ta-ta!


SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI
MAAF ZAHIR & BATIN
FROM US ^_^

Puzzle 34: A creature called L.O.V.E.




Bismillah.

"I love you with all my heart."
"My love to you is greater than any kinds of love you find in this world."
"I love you sincerely."
"No one can beat my love towards you."
"Nobody can love you passionately as I do."

Various love expressions or in other words "love chants" we hear when a couple of lovers are in deep love to one another. But the question is, how deep their love towards their beloved? By raising this question, there are a few more questions that I would like to ask these sort of people.

What is love to you?
How much you know and understand the creature called L.O.V.E.?
What is the base or the foundation of your love towards the person?
What do you usually do to prove your love towards the person?
Do you think your love is a true love?

Honestly speaking, there are a lot more to ask about this creature because it is very subjective. In addition, I bet only those people who really comprehend the meaning of L.O.V.E. not just semantically but pragmatically could explain what L.O.V.E. is all about. Well, as a Linguistic student I can say that they are several distinctions between semantics and pragmatics and one of it is when you look at the word PRAGMATICS, it means that it refers to something which is "more being communicated than is said." That's how pragmatics works and in this case, to me, L.O.V.E. is something that is "more being communicated than is said" and unfortunately, not all people can truly understand the hidden meaning of L.O.V.E. which is to me, quite pity.

Well, I hope I'm not one of them who does not really know what L.O.V.E. truly means because I'm still learning about it and I am going to learn all about L.O.V.E. continuously towards the end of my life. Because I hope that with my understanding of L.O.V.E. it will guide me to the love towards Allah SWT and Prophet Muhammad SAW, so that it will help me love others which are also important to us, say my mother, my family and all my friends in Islam.   

Let  me just share with you some of my thoughts regarding this creature called L.O.V.E.

1) Love from the first sight is not exactly a true love for a true love consumes a longer time to blossom.

2) Love is not something that money can buy. It is precious and valuable.

3) The real love can only be gotten when the affections between two lovers are based on their loves towards the Creator.

(Inspired by Ibn Hazm's writing titled, "Falling in Love.")

So, these are my own interpretations of L.O.V.E.

I don't know, but perhaps most of you have different connotations of the word L.O.V.E. but whatever it is these are what I believe what L.O.V.E. is and these are the basic foundations of L.O.V.E. in order to reach the highest level of L.O.V.E., which is to love Allah and His prophet more than anything else in this world.

Wallahua'lam. 


Puzzle 33: Anxiety




Bismillah.

It's common for people to feel anxious in everything they are dealing with in life. Each day, they might be struggling thinking of some ways on how to escape themselves from it because anxiety can make things go wrong. Those who are rich may be seeking for more riches because they want to drive the fear of poverty out of their spirits. Some may seek for more and more knowledge because they are afraid that they might be in the state of ignorance forever. Some may struggle to seek for glory because they are scared of being scorned by others and some may seek for sensual delights because they don't want to experience the pain of being alone for the rest of his life.

The best way that I learned today in order to release the anxiety from ourselves according to the beautiful method taught by Ibn Hazm is that by directing our selves towars the Surpreme Goodness by means of good works conducive to immortal life.

Meaning to say, we need to do more and more good works everyday to strengthen our God-slave relationship with Allah SWT. So that we may not feel anxious anymore about not getting what we want in life because we believe that everything given by Allah is a reward from Him and what is not, we will get it some other day, which only He knows when we might get it. All we need to do is to stay patient and put all the trust in Him. May He bless us until our last breath on the earth.

Wallahua'lam.
