Mom you are my number one!

I guess this is the second time I posted song lyrics on my blog. I am not a fan of Maher Zain's songs before but this one really touched my heart that I cried listening to it. It is a song for a mother. Oh how I miss my mom. I am so busy and it has been more than a month since I last went home ):

Anyway, I'm sorry I don't know how to attach the video but here's the lyrics. So beautiful.

NUMBER ONE FOR ME by Maher Zain.

I was a foolish little child

Crazy things I used to do
And all the pain I put you through
Mama now I’m here for you
For all the times I made you cry
The days I told you lies
Now it’s time for you to rise
For all the things you sacrificed

Chorus:
Oh, if I could turn back time rewind
If I could make it undone
I swear that I would
I would make it up to you

Mum I’m all grown up now

It’s a brand new day
I’d like to put a smile on your face every day
Mum I’m all grown up now
And it’s not too late
I’d like to put a smile on your face every day

And now I finally understand
Your famous line
About the day I’d face in time
‘Cause now I’ve got a child of mine
And even though I was so bad
I’ve learned so much from you
Now I’m trying to do it too
Love my kid the way you do

CHORUS

You know you are the number one for me (x3)
Oh, oh, number one for me
There’s no one in this world that can take your place
Oh, I’m sorry for ever taking you for granted, ooh
I will use every chance I get
To make you smile, whenever I’m around you
Now I will try to love you like you love me
Only God knows how much you mean to me

CHORUS

You know you are the number one for me (x3)

Oh, oh, number one for me

I was a foolish little child
Crazy things I used to do
And all the pain I put you through
Mama now I’m here for you
For all the times I made you cry
The days I told you lies
Now it’s time for you to rise
For all the things you sacrificed

Chorus:
Oh, if I could turn back time rewind
If I could make it undone
I swear that I would
I would make it up to you

Mum I’m all grown up now

It’s a brand new day
I’d like to put a smile on your face every day
Mum I’m all grown up now
And it’s not too late
I’d like to put a smile on your face every day

And now I finally understand
Your famous line
About the day I’d face in time
‘Cause now I’ve got a child of mine
And even though I was so bad
I’ve learned so much from you
Now I’m trying to do it too
Love my kid the way you do

CHORUS

You know you are the number one for me (x3)
Oh, oh, number one for me
There’s no one in this world that can take your place
Oh, I’m sorry for ever taking you for granted, ooh
I will use every chance I get
To make you smile, whenever I’m around you
Now I will try to love you like you love me
Only God knows how much you mean to me

CHORUS

You know you are the number one for me (x3)

Oh, oh, number one for me

Tests and Trust

The last time I wrote was last year. That was way too long, no? I’m not going to give any excuses though. The thing is I didn’t write to please the crowd. So I am going to write whenever I had the chance and when I feel like it, okay? Cheers :D

In the last few months when I was in hiatus, so many things happened. Some of them were good, but some of them were unbearable. I’ve been going through some hard times, and that was one of the reason why I didn’t write here. The blog is public and I chose not to spread the private story of my life to the world. So as a substitute, I’ve been really close with my diary these days. I can just spill everything without having to ponder about what to write and what not to write. But that doesn’t mean I am going to shut my blog down. The blog keeps my 3 years memories and will still be counting.

Anyway, this year has been hard for me. God tested me in so many ways I couldn’t even recall when was the last time I had a good time. During those times, there were my brother’s wedding, a vacation with my family, and so many things went around. I might looked happy outside, ok, I do feel happy here and then, but at the same time, deep inside, there were always a lump in my throat, sadness in my heart.

During those hard times, I realize that one of the way to be at ease is by turning to Him. I am not a good person and I admit that sometimes I slightly forget about Him. But the hard times I’m facing made me realize that no matter what happen, good or bad, there’s only Him that will always be by my side. I keep reminding myself that Allah will always be available, and His guidance will help me to endure hardship, and make sufferings bearable.

I am still having a hard time now so I keep praying to Him to show me the best way. I talked to so many people, my family and my friends, seeking for their advice and opinions. But deep inside, I know that things happen only when god allows it so at the end of the day, I will turn to Him, ask for His guidance.

I do realize that my pain is nothing compared to other people. Well, at least I’m not facing hunger or death. I am in good health and I have my family and my friends. So I will try as much as possible to be positive. I am still young, and if god wills it, I still have a long road ahead. I do realize that there will be ups and down, thick and thin along the way, so I hope I will be one strong girl to face it. InsyaAllah.

Love,

Help me decide

A friend of mine gave me these last two weeks. I was so excited because besides food, books are what I love most!. Unfortunately, I had to resist the temptations since the assignments are piling up last few weeks and I was super busy. Now that I am free, I am going to read one of them. So help me choose. Which one to read first?

Seek the truth

There have been rumors spreading about Starbucks Coffee is not Halal for quite some time now, especially on facebook. Although there are many articles posted in facebook and other sites saying that it is not Halal, I don't quite believe it since the sources are not convincing enough. I mean how come it is said to be non halal when there are halal logos by JAKIM at the Starbucks Coffee branches and also in the website?.

Being an all time Starbucks Frappuccino lover, I really need to be sure so I checked the JAKIM and Halal Malaysia website today and here's what I found :

Since JAKIM and Halal Malaysia are the gov organisation which are responsible for giving out the halal certificate so I think this is the truth.

I don't understand why there are individuals who just easily believe anything they saw or read and worse, they just easily spread it everywhere. This is not good especialy when it comes to the Islamic principles pertaining to Halal and Haram.

There will always be rumors spreading and floating around about so many things, so it is important that we don't just simply believe it without any investigations or evidence. If there are rumours or anything you are curious about, have the courage to always check and seek the truth.

Love,
