because of you

did you know...we should do everything for Allah?

"Every single thing - starting from the glorious dawn when we wake up till we close our eyes under the night sky; it's all for Allah"

7 things, being me, Nov 3, 2008

Well, I suddenly remembered several events in my life which made me feel so tense, so apprehensive that I couldn't imagine anyone else being in my shoes.

Before I go on, here's another place where I stopped by during my trip...

5th April 2010

York

A typical street in York

Yeap, Maliq joined us and we had breakfast at Bettys while discussing a very interesting topic

York Minster, Northern Europe's largest gothic cathedral

The 2nd spiral staircase that I climbed after the one in Oxford's, and it's much higher and narrower (285 steps)

York Boat!

I guess this picture sums up everything :D

Back then, when I was in MRSM TGB (MRSM Jasin), I shared with Yati (Deputy President of BWP 05/06 and then she became my classmate, M07J KMB 07/09) a saying which is coined by myself,

"Whenever you feel tense or under pressure while doing something, always remember you're doing it for Allah"

Adlan Wafi Ramli, MRSM TGB, 2005/06

And when I remind myself that I'm doing it for Him, it sure made me feel less burdened or stressful and I feel more peaceful and sort of untroubled.


Yeah, we might be doing something because of various reasons.

I arranged the heavy tables at the dining hall of MRSM TGB (with the help of friends) because it's my job, I study because I want to pass the exam, I want to play the piano (or keyboard) because it's been my childhood dream, I smile like 24/7 because I promised myself when I was a kid (at least, that's why I think).

Whatever the reasons are; we should know that the core, the basis, the underlying intention of why we're doing everything is truly for Allah :)

And now, I shall continue to study...

stronger

You know, I've always wanted to be stronger...

 

1st-3rd April 2010

Liverpool

I bet you know that I went for a trip around UK for 12 days. Yeah, it's a challenge for me as well to see if I can make it till the 12th day. Alhamdulillah, I made it :)

So, instead of making a 12 day post :O ; I'm gonna make separate posts beginning with the place which I once considered as a place to start over if I ever went there...

Albert Dock

It's called the Planet if I'm not mistaken and it's in Dukes Dock (near Albert Dock)

And they have a giant anchor

At the World Museum Liverpool

You see the bird up there? It's called a liver bird (pronounced as /ˈlaɪvərbɜrd/; rhymes with fiver)

My first English Breakfast in the UK

My tradition :)

It's actually my first time to meet up with Hanis in the UK, before this; we only talked on the phone. And Hariz was a great tour guide, very enthusiastic indeed, thanks! Plus, we met up with Zaid and I didn't even meet Shukur O_o

Well, it would be great if Mak was here cause she could show me the place around. She could say things like: "Wafi dulu suka main kat situ" or "Kita selalu makan kat kedai ni". Haha, my imagination..but it's true, it would be great to see the place where I grew up (padahal sekejap je :P) with my mum.

I've been reading that book since Feb 2008

Well, I want to be stronger. I guess I will always live in denial but at least I know I'm not the only one. I have to use my denial to my own advantage.

After all, denial may be associated with more rapid recovery from myocardial infarction. (Havik & Maeland, 1988)

Haha, this remark is due to my keen interest in Behavioural Sciences :D

Don't let my denial weaken me, instead make me stronger. And I think I can do it..cause I'm Adlan Wafi...
