$$$ when you start working

Assalamu'alaikom warahmatullahi wabarakatuh...

Yes, I'm currently "working" at ____. Not really working, more like serving. But still, dapat lah juga allowance eventhough tak seberapa.  It's not much but alhamdulillah, it's better than my previous earning. But now that dah ada banyak sangat (tak ada lah banyak mana pun, slightly lebih sikit dari dulu) duit, tiba-tiba wishlist jadi makin panjang pula. Dah la wishlish tuh memang panjang to start with, sekarang makin lah ber-kilometer panjangnya. 

Now I can't resist whenever and wherever I see the word "SALE". Okai lah, maybe bukan wherever sebab I just attracted to "SALE" dekat kedai baju (selected brands only but Uniqlo for sure), kedai kasut (so far cuma dekat Payless Shoesource) and kedai buku (any kedai buku). 

List of things that make me go crazy, even crazier when on sale:

  • Book (tonnes of titles in my wishlist)
  • Apparel
  • Phone (only bought once)
  • DSLR (never own one)

Since sekarang income tak banyak mana, so kita just tunggu any of the store yang buat sale. But of course, sale or no sale, I end up didn't buy it most of the time. The more you earn, the more things you want to buy, the more you will spend. So bila tengok-tengok something dekat kedai, kena la fikir 3-4 kali nak beli ke tak. So, if you see me standing in a shop, taking an item and put it back back and forth, you know whats in my mind.

My TwentyFirst Ramadan

Assalamu'alaikom warahmatullahi wabarakatuh...

It's 26th Ramadan. How fast time fly. How I remember I worried that how I'm gonna fast this year when Ramadan approaching and now, Ramadan is bidding farewell. Yes, I'm sad that Ramadan is going to leave us soon. I don't give a damn how cliche this sound. Every year I used to say that I'm sad that Ramadan is leaving but this year, I really am. Maybe it's because I am being tested by ALLAH 'Azza Wajal during this Ramadan. I could taste the sweetness of Ramadan. Something that I don't want to lose. Maybe this is what those people who love Ramadan feel when Ramadan is leaving. Verily I have felt the sakinah during this Ramadan. Despite all the test and trial that ALLAH put me through, I could feel the calmness compare to other month. Blessings in Ramadan.

O ALLAH, would I meet next year's Ramadan? or would I meet You instead? Nobody knows the answer except for You, O ALLAH al-'Alim al-Khabir. I know my deeds would never suffice.
