Me and social media

Rant on social media.

Assalamualaikum and hi.

Well, to be honest I just read a few of my facebook friend’s status and have a few thought to say or to tell here specifically on social media. I knew the word social say it all but seeing someone posting their anger, out loud and commenting without knowing the border of you know… even there’s actually no borders but we as human do have instinct on that.

The problem is not about babbling and telling our problem out loud on social media but how we handle that. It might be okay for someone to do that at the first place but that doesn’t solve the problem. At all.

The thing is often we see people arguing, ‘practically’ yelling and so on through their tweets and stuff without, actually solving that problem. (Actually I’m trying to not to address the real stuff directly. If this is quite confusing, I’m sorry).

Secondly, I personally think that the way we handle our social media accounts reflect ourselves. It might seem like I’m judging but sadly saying that is how it works for me. That is practically why I have insecurities on posting something on facebook.

So the last to conclude all of the above, here’s my point :-

1.       Your acts on social media show your personality, be care full.

2.       Solve your problems; don’t just write it on your wall/tweets.

3.       You are free to disagree, but if you don’t mind tell me your thought.

So that’s all. Thank you for reading.

Cer cita sikit.

Assalamualikum, hi.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..

 *Tiup debu-debu, lama sangat terbiar blog ni. Tambah dua hari lepas berturut-turut rebut pasir.

Ehem.

Lama tak mengarang dalam blog ni. Alhamdulillah, cuti winter break dah habis dan sekarag jadual dah jadi macam biasa. Sepatutnya waktu cuti haritu boleh hapdet entry baru. Tapi. Hurm, nanti.

Alhamdulillah cuti dipenuhi dengan quite interesting stuff like,

Aku buat almost 2k bijik cucur. Tender café.

Spend a few times in ma’rod (Cairo International Book Fair).

Participated in Simposium Mahsiswa Timur Tengah which I get to meet a few cool/interesting/intellectual people like Mat Luthfi and etc. The program was good.

Tapi itu bukan point yang aku nak habaq.

Tapi nih.

Yup. Video nih will tell you everything that happened to me/ reason why I didn't update much. Do subscribe him.

Fyi I typed this post a way in early February. But I keep telling myself, soon and soon and soon.

And when the ‘soon’ come, I open my laptop, browsing  google but ended up scrolling my tumblr while my head telling me “just five minutes” and again I ended up scrolling it for 2 hours and the result,

I off my laptop and go to sleep. Ha.

Tu ja kot untuk masa ni. See ya next time.

Peace :)

Winter not-so-sonata.

Assalamualikum dan hai J

La ni tengah musim sejuk tapi tak bersalji di Kaherah.. Aku rasa lebih baik takda salji. Sebab kalau bersalji maknanya suhu akan jadi negative camtu. Berselimut 24 jam lah jawabnya. Alhamdulillah fasa enam darjah selsius dah berlalu. *fuhh

Tak tipu, musim sejuk memang dugaan. Dugaan nak ke kelas. Sebab nak ke kelas kena mandi. Tapi sebelum mandi tu nak kena bangun tidoq pun jenuh (susah). Kira sindrom malas musim sejuk ni memang A ler. Nak jadi cerita lagi kelas aku memang sejuk tahap gaban. Kira cakap tu keluar asap lah. Ingat lagi Doc. Ahmad habaq, “antum ba’da usbuq satamut. “ (Hampa selepas seminggu, pakat mati habis sebab sejuk) sebab kelas tu tingkap atas terbuka luas. Tak boleh tutup pulak. memang sabaq je lah.

Dan antara perkara yang aku rasa agak obvious adalah selera makan aku. Makin berselera. Kira selalu makan nasik arab sepinggan tak habis kali ni habis sepinggan. Boleh kata jajan tu memang spare lah. Boleh baham waktu emergency *lah sangat. Bab makan aku ni dikira ok lah, tak la picky. Campak ja apa pun insyaAllah aku boleh makan asalkan halal.

Teringat aku satu hadis nabi, yang mafhumnya berpuasa di musim sejuk ini bagaikan hadiah yang mudah bagimu riwayat Ahmad dan makna hadiah yang mudaah disyarahkan oleh Ibn Rajab sebagai hadiah yang didapati tanpa kesusahan dari pihak yang menerimanya.

See?

Point nya kat sini, berpuasa di musim sejuk adalah perkara yang mudah dilakukan dan diamalkan. Mungkin antara sebabnya yang aku boleh kaitkan dengan kefahaman aku adalah malam lebih panjang daripada siang. So waktu puasa pun singkat. Contoh la ni subuh pukul 5.30. Maghrib pulak pukul 4.15 lebih kurang. Jadi waktu berpuasa tu lebih kurang 11 jam ja dibandingkan dengan musim panas/Ramadhan yang waktunya lebih kurang 16 jam.

Lagipun musim sejuk ni tak berasa sangat dahaga. Dan tak seletih musim panas. Cuma best nak lena ja. Haha.

Mudah cakap, antara ibadah yang mudah pada musim sejuk ni adalah dengan berpuasa. Rahmat musim sejuk mungkin. Alhamdulillah ala kulli hal.

Hurm, rasanya cukup kot entry setakat ni. Moga bermanfaat. Jumpa lagi,

Assalamualaikum.

Helping hands.

Assalamualaikum and hi.

For this time, this entry is just my personal thought. It happened every time I walk around Cairo especially around the area of my house and uni *I warn ya, this post might be extremely boring. When you walk around some places like Hussien, Darrassah or around shopping mall you’ll notice beggars and homeless everywhere.

Around the place where I currently studying you’ll find everyday few kids selling tissues. To me they’re supposed to be at school at that moment like the other child. Not begging people buying their tissues.

Whenever I saw them, I felt so sad kinda feeling and that moment remind me of how blessed I’m to have this life. How big are His nikmah/blessings to me that almost every time I forgot. One of my goals this year is to be helpful, to give more than I take.

And the reason I wrote this entry is to convey to you, and also reminding myself to all the point I wrote above.

You know, sometimes when we help people randomly maybe when we’re in need there’ll someone else that’ll help us back. I believe the chains never end.

On the other hand, Quran tells us that next purity of faith, the most pleasing in the sight of Allah is kindness and charity, forbearance and forgiveness, and doing good to others. Those who spend in charity, whether in prosperity or adversity, who restrain anger and pardon people: for Allah’s bless.

And know what, when we give one of our belongings, Allah pay 10 back. In any possible ways. 

 May this post benefits us all. InsyaAllah.

How to get up early.

Assalamualaikum and hi people.

*English mode on.*

I’m kind of a morning person. I like waking up in the morning to do something instead of you know, dreaming again. *sometimes I did that too, you know when you too tired or too lazy to do anything :b.

Let’s just say in Islam, it is better to not to sleep after Solah fajr because our prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) told us so. Even when you do that you’ll notice you’ll become weaker and your day might not be productive.

But here’s some tips to get up early that I figure it out myself and some from my research on the web (I did googled it!) and most of it from Anna Vital.

1.       Have enough sleep. For an adult or youth like me it is enough to have between 5-6 hours. Recite dua/prayer.

2.       Sleep comfortably. Use a blanket that keeps you warm vice versa. Depends on your situation. Good sleep is between 16-21 degree Celsius *research.

3.       Sleep in total darkness because melatonin (the sleep hormone) is produced in the dark. *research

4.       Drink before you sleep! I did this to myself because I’m easily got a sore throat if I’m not hydrated. And drinking some water not only rejuvenating but keeps you hydrated. According to a research we lost lots of water in our body through breathing and of course, sleeping.

5.       Put alarm. Far than your bed so you can’t snooze it. Ahaha

6.       Plan an exciting breakfast. So you’ll look up to make that. And of course, if you want to work productively you’ll need a good boost because you brain feeds on glucose/sugar or something like that. I’ll just go as simple as a banana and hot chocolate. Or maybe some caffeine/coffee.

7.       Read a book. From a book (not online) because you can’t browse away from it. Or maybe your math/history books :D

8.       Have your goals of the next day/ schedule your most important task of your day especially in the morning so you’ll get excited to get up to do it.

9.       To my Muslims readers do look up for sunnah. The sunnah the better right? InsyaAllah I’ll list out some sunnah of sleeping (before/after) soon. There’s always goodness in every sunnah. You didn’t only get physical benefits but also rewards when you do it.

10.   Last but not least, in order to get rid of the sleepiness after you wake up a few tips that I can list out is :-

·         Be active. Sing in the shower or do some light exercise.

·         Caffeine. A cup of coffee always works on me.

·         Do something.

I hope that those tips might help even a little. I did not do the whole tips that I wrote up there but some of them help me.  Just to remain clear that my English is quite not good as I’m still working on it, through writing like this. If you do notice some mistakes grammatically or anything just tell me through all my social media networking account like twitter/comments bellow or maybe emails me at hdimussqim@gmail.com . I would love to know anything like ideas/tips/anything from you guys. With that, thank you for reading!

Life little instructions.

Assalamualikum and hi.

Welcome to 2015 :B

Alhamdulillah, since 2015 here I thought maybe it’s quite “relevant” if I share something like tips or from the title,  ‘Life little instructions’. I got this from tumblr few months ago. It’s about an advise I guess from 95 years old William Snell (1993).

You know, sometimes older person knows. And they got it right.  Sebab depa makan garam lebih dari kita. Eh? And for sure I did orter sikit ayat tu. Mengikut sedap hati.

So here we go,.

   - Sing in the shower.

    -Treat everyone you met like you want to be treated.

    -Watch a sunrise once a year.

      -Never refuse homemade brownies.

    -Strive for excellent, not perfection.

    -Plant a plant on your birthday

    -Learn 3 clean jokes.
    -Returned borrowed vehicles with full tank.

   -Never waste opportunity to say you loved someone.

   -Leave everything a little better when you found it.

   -Keep it simple.

   -Think big thought but relish small pleasures.

   -Become the most positive and enthusiastic person you know.

   -Be forgiving on yourself and others.

   -Say ‘thank you’ a lot.

   -Say ‘please’ a lot.

   -Avoid negative people.

   -Wear polished shoes.

   -Remember other people birthday.

   -Commit yourself to constant improvement.

   -Have a firm handshake.

   -Look people in the eyes.

   -Be the first to say hello. *or Assalamualaikum.

   -Return all things you borrow.

   -Make new friends but cherish the old one.

   -Keep secrets.

   -Have a dog/pet.

   -Plant flowers every spring.

   -Always accept outstretched hand.

    -Stop blaming others.

   -Take responsibility for every area of your life.

   -Waves on all kids on school buses.

   -Be there when people need you.

  -Don’t expect life to be fair.

   -Never underestimate the power of love.

Live your life as an exclamation, not an explanation.

Don’t be afraid to say “ I made mistakes” and “I don’t know”.

Compliment even small improvements.

Keep your promises no matter what.

Marry only for love.

Rekindle old friendship.

Count your blessings.

Call your mother and your dad too. If they happen to be alive.

Refleksi 2014

Alhamdulillah,. Dah nak tamat 2014.

Dugaan tahun ni ( Tragedi MH370, MH 17, Putting beliung, Banjir besar) biarlah jadi pengajaran buat kita yang Allah itu takkan menguji kalau tidak tak mampu.

Bala atau kafarah. Itu atas kita. Cara kita terima.

This year  has been a great year of my life (so far) and I hope 2015 will be better.

Banyak perkara yang penting jadi tahun ni. *ecewah*

Not to say that I’m completely reach my goals or what. Hanya sekadar refleksi buat diri aku ni yang tak seberapa.

Cuma, nak share kat sini few things that I managed to accomplish this year.

First. I start baking dan start jual even terima order which means I get to do what I love to and get something from it. Walaupun tak seberapa, Jadilah untuk tanggung sikit buat beli handphone baru.

The best  part from baking I get to make my Ibu her birthday cake. and her reactions on that moment, is beyond what I can say here. It’s something that I’ll always remember. Tapi tak sempat buat ayah punya birthday cake. Dan wish ja. Sebab dah fly dah waktu bday ayah.

Kedua, aku dapat pengalaman mengaji pengajian pondok.

Tau madrasah pondok?

Cuma tak la tidur/makan situ. Cuma dapat rasa biah, cara tarbiah depa. Dan pengajian di situ mengajar seribu satu cerita. InsyaAllah post yang lain kot. Jenuh 1001 nak cerita dalam post ni.

Ketiga, terbang ke benua Afrika. Sampai ke bumi Musa (as). Entah, macam tak real tapi memang camtu lah ceritanya.

Moga Allah kuatkan hati untuk terus teguh dengan tali dia.

Dan moga aku bermanfaat buat ummah juga. Doakan.

Dan cukup disini saja kot, nak cerita lebih habis la special value. Tak gitu?

So, sempena nak masuk tahun baru masihi tajdid niat selalu. Pasak azam teguh teguh. Biar utuh walau ribut merempuh. *cewah*

Nak tuju lagu, my song of the year :

Terbang Tunduk – Kokping Jamal. Heeee

Akhiaq sekali, nak rekemen buku. Catatan Matluthfi . First aku ingat buku ni lebih kepada nak cita hidup dia, cara belajar dia etc.. tapi senang cerita buku ni mengajak kita berfikir tentang banyak perkara.Dari politik sehingga society.Sarcasm dia pun boleh tahan. Aha :B  Dan aku memang rekemen hampa semua beli bagi ada sorang satu. Bermanfaat insyaAllah.

Sebelum tu nak pesan,

Owner tak ingat dari mana ambik pic ni.

 Sekian.

Pancake paling simple *kot*.

Assalamualaikum ,

Semalam waktu tengah scroll twitter  ternampak resepi mudah untuk buat pancake pisang. Terus keluar rumah pegi cari pisang. Asalnya memeng tengah teringin ‘kepeknga’ @ pankek pisang versi Melayu. Tapi nak cari mana daun pisang sini? 

Oleh kerana resepi dia mudah tak tau nak habaq, jadi diri ini rasa terpanggil untuk hapdet entry pasal ni. Tambahan kalau makan waktu sarapan pulak kan, apa nak kata. Kan?

Btw, teringat paperwork add math zaman spm dulu, pasal breakfast. Brekfast sebenarnya penting sangat untuk kita, tambah student, sebab our brain consumed on sugar. Kalau tak makan, camna nak boost otak. Tak gituh? :B

So, here we go,

Bahan-bahan.

Pisang (Ikut suka lah pisang apa. Janji besar/padan padan nak makan.

2 biji telur

Secubit garam/sesuka hati

Cara-cara:

Lenyek/blend/kisar (ikut kehendak sendiri tapi aku lenyek, terasa lah sikit pisang tu) Pastu masukkan telur dan garam. Kacau rata.

Lebih kurang jadi macam ni.

Panaskan kuali, letak minyak sikit, masak. Masak macam nak masak telur mata kerbau tuu.

Done!

Cuma, kalau nak kelainan… boleh lah drizzle skali madu ka, maple syrup ka, apa ka. Janji bahagia. Hee

sekian,.

Memasak.

*istigfar*

ok, so lepas balik kelas tadi punya la pikiaq nak masak apa sebab memang aku ni jenis plan dulu. Ingat nak masak (masakan apa pun aku tak tau, yang aku tau berserai serai gituh. haha) tapi belek peti sejuk tadak serai so,. terpaksalah cari inisiatif lain.

Terpikiaq pula nak masak sambal. So prepare barang nak buat sambal. Tetiba nampak serbuk kari. Maka tercetuslah idea masakan baru.

SamGu. Sambal + Gulai gitu. Macam korea dok nama? hiks.

ok ok. Alhamdulillah lepas siap semua, boleh kata semua puji. Cuma pedas sikit. Housemate aku ada yang tak makan pedas. So tersilap bajet sikit. Tapi على كل حال (apa pun) semua boleh makan. So far takda lagi yang mengadu sakit mana mana. aha.

so,.  here's the ingredients.

1. 11 ketul ayam kerat lapan (1kg lebih)

4. Tiga-empat biji cili besar (cili dekat sini pedas sikit) dan kisar dengan bawang
5. Halia dalam seinci ( kisar sekali)
6. Serbuk kari sebungkus
7. Air asam
8. Bunga lawang, cengkih dan kulit kayu manis
9. karot dan tomato (sesuka hati)
10. Penambah perisa. Dalam sesudu ja.
11. Garam gula

Hiasan je

1. Panaskan minyak, pastu masukkan tiga serangkai tadi ( bunga lawang, cengkih dan kulit kayu manis)

2. Masukkan bahan yang dikisar tadi. Sampai agak mendidih masukkan serbuk kari yang dicampur dengan air asam. Pastu letak ayam.

3. Masukkan tomato, karot atau apa ja yang rasa nak letak.

4. Waktu masakan agak nak masak, letak garam dengan gula then penambah rasa. Tak ltak pun takpa.

5. Siap! cuma sebagai tambahan aku letak daun sup. 

Walla.
