Hellllooooo
people!
How’s your
weekend so far? Mine is good, Alhamdulillah (: excited for a busy Sunday
tomorrow, haha yeahhhh. Anyway, let’s not talk about it, we’ll talk about
something else.
So, actually, I
was planning to dedicate a post about chocolate cake and churros, but I guessed
it is not necessary since people can just google them and found tons of
different more delicious recipes. So, here’s a picture of the two of them haha.
My initial
intention of writing this post is to write what happened to me for past few
days. A diary, if you want to name
it. So, here it goes:
Dear diary,
It has been two days since
I was left alone at home, yeah, all alone since my other housemates decided to
go to Tasmania! I know rigghttt? They went to Tassie in the middle of a busy
semester! Agh! Lucky you lucky you phd students. I know I shouldn’t be ranting about
my busy schedule, I mean it’s not anyone else’s fault but myself, still I want
to rant about it. Hihihi.
It was not that bad though,
having the house for myself, *I’ve avoided any movies, or stories that are
related to ghost haha or else I’ll be freaking scared to stay at home alone*
since I’ve got so many things to do to occupy myself. Haha. Yelah, sebab kalau takdak
benda nak buat nanti mesti pishang huhu.
So, Syalin is here in
Sydney, with her mum and dad, so yeah, I’ll just spend some time with her
tomorrow for lunch. What else? Oh yeah, I have finished reading ‘What I talk
about when I talk about running’ by Haruki Murakami. It was a pretty good book,
talking about life in general and somehow I kinda like his way of writing. I
was thinking of giving this book to somebody, but I don’t know to whom. Haha,
maybe anyone interested can tell me here and drop me a comment? Hihi.
Feels like I’m talking
nothing intellectual here, not worth a post, haha. So, let’s talk about
something beneficial. Okay diary? Okay? Good. (:
Last weekend, despite so
many things to do, I just had to go to this one small gathering with a few
sisters, we did the gathering at Kahawa in Newton. It was a good restaurant
with good food at a good price! Anyway, we had a small discussion about patience
and about being yourself. So, someone shared about Hadith 16 of Hadith 40 by
Imam Nawawi.
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased
with him):
“A man said to the Prophet, ‘Give me advice.’ The
Prophet, peace be upon him, said, ‘Do not get angry.’ The man asked repeatedly
and the Prophet answered each time, ‘Do not get angry.’”
Related by Bukhari & Muslim
The
hadith is basically about how we have to stay patience in all times. How we
have to avoid being angry, especially when we are stressed and are under a lot
of pressure. This reminder came at the right moment for me as at the moment I was
busy doing things that I think I might have hurt some feelings by being angry
at them. So, it was a very gentle reminder from Allah, alhamdulillah. We
discussed a few tips to avoid being angry- we have to try to stay calm, we
should make ablution, we have to clarify and check our facts before we jump
into any conclusion, we stay silent, change our position or pray for patience
from Allah.
I
still remembered a friend told me, in psychology, there is this theory that
anger can be transferred. So, let say A is angry at B, then B would be angry at
C in order to transfer the anger. So, the process will continue until it reach
a person that can be patient enough to channel the anger to something else, or
to ground the anger. And another friend also told me, “being patience is best
at the start not at the end”, which means that it is not being patience if you
go mad at first and start talking with anger and let it all out, then only you
said, “Have patience dear self”.
Hence, I guess we should really
try our best to stay calm and patience at all times. Whether we are at fault or
not, we should really avoid being angry. ‘cause it will hurt a lot of feelings,
and it is so not good to hurt those whom we loved. (: Then another sister
talked about Kun Anta- Being yourself. I guessed I’ll save this one for later,
inshaAllah. I should really go back to my quiz. Talk to you soon diary?
Love, Sabrina
I need to find new book to read then, let’s go to bookstore anytime
soon or maybe just drop by at Fisher Library to borrow some books. Till then
