Mengembara Itu Jiwa Anak Muda

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...


We had a basketball practice this morning. We were super late as we woke up very late and we couldn't help ourselves as we went to bed very late last night.

And in the evening, I went to the ceramah by Mahfuz Omar. But I was really bad, that I fell asleep 10mins after the ceramah started. =( and I woke up really at the very end of the ceramah. huwuu.. But at the end of it, I was glad that at least, I still have something to pick up and bring back home =) (yeay!). It is this phrase :

'Mengembara itu Jiwa Anak Muda'

It sounds really catchy to me. He was right (this quote wasn't from Mahfuz Omar, but from a guy I can't remember the name of). We travel, so that we gain experiences. We patch everything up, every little bits n pieces and we make our own stories out of it. We learn things this way. We hear and listen. We see and observe. It's the experience that helps us to understand how life works. Life has never been fair, some people say. I don't really care whether life has been fair or not. But what matters the most it, how God has planned things for us, and how we let ourselves to strive and pass His tests.

It'll take the whole time in the world to understand the philosophy of life. And it takes more than that to understand what 'destiny' or 'fate' means. I really have blurry ideas about those two things. And I also heard people said it once, that those could never be understood. So I have come to a conclusion, that it is not our job to think about what has been fated. But our 'real' job is to open our hearts, let the nature takes its course, and see what we can do about it. It is like, in the examinations, the questions have been prepared, and our task is to answer the questions the best we can!

I love to think about this life in my free time. And most of the times I couldn't even find the answers to my questions, due to my shallow level of knowledge. I also can end up having a headache thinking about this. Aihh~~ But I really wanna travel and learn more. =)

Allahumma faqqihna fiddin, wa'allimna ta'weela...

That's all for today.
Jaa, mata ne (see u next time)

Ganbare ne!

Here's the song from 911-The Journey
911 - The Journey - 911

Time waits for no one, sure as the tide pulls the ocean
Sure as the path thats been chosen cannot be changed
In my lifes destination, I searched for the explanation
For some kind of reason for my sorrow and pain
But in my isolation, I learned to listen
To be thankful for the love that Id been given

This is my journey, journey through life
With every twist and turn,
Ive laughed and cried as the road unwinds
This is my journey, and Ive learned to fight
To make me strong enough, to lift me up,
to bring my dreams alive

In my desperation, I swore never again
Would I hear all the laughter of my friends and my family
A million tears that Id cry & then began to dry
Silence of the night timeI i have come to realize
a sweet inspiration filled my horizon
Gave me the heart to go on and never would give in

This is my journey, journey through life
With every twist and turn,
Ive laughed and cried as the road unwinds
This is my journey, and Ive learned to fight
To make me strong enough, to lift me up,
to bring my dreams alive

Im going to love each moment of every day and every night
Ill look back to the past with the sweetest smile
For now, I realize Ive been given the key to life
Ive been kissed by the angel by my side
Oh, yeah

This is my journey, journey through life
With every twist and turn,
Ive laughed and cried as the road unwinds
This is my journey, and Ive learned to fight
To make me strong enough, to lift me up,
to bring my dreams alive

To bring my dreams alive
To bring my dreams alive
