Growing Up

  Assalamualaikum everyone,

As the girls in the Wonder Woman chatroom are reminiscing the good old days that were never too late to be cherished, Im writing this entry (LOL). I am simply displaying my embarrassment through this post. Regarding my older posts, pardon my immature self for everyone went through that phase of teen age.HAHA.  It is impossible to say I'm not missing them (to add the fact that I'm gonna lose Sarah in a few months from now 😭).

 As you may know, Sarah and I had finished memorising Quran (we joined a tahfiz joint programme between IIUM and Darul Quran). Though we felt an extreme relief about it, the relief had to say goodbye few days later. Completing 30 juz of Quran was completely rough sailing, a tough task and requires gallons of tears. Memorising Biology is like a piece of cake compared to this. For this responsibility is on our shoulder for the rest of our life. However, Allah has stated in Quran:

لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا  (Al Baqarah:286)

In Ibnu Kathir's Tafsir that I recently read in a blog, Allah takkan bebankan hambaNya melainkan dengan kemampuan hambaNya itu. That's clearly has shown us to BELIEVE in His promise.

The same goes to all of us. Me, Sarah, Juey, Aliah, Yot, Abby (Allah, takkan nak type nama semua Prolt pulak) and all of us, biarpun datang ombak ganas, ribut membaham never give in. Come hell or high water, we must braze ourselves. Studying is not as easy as just reading and memorizing, it's more that that. It needs our passion, our boldness, our tight embrace, our struggle, our prayers, our tawakkal for them to stay with us throughout our life. Especially kita as women. Education is vital so they won't look down at us, underestimate us. The 'they' is society. Our society surely has evolving as years passing by. But some people with old-fashioned minded still think of women the same way ppl decades ago. No need to respect women, to treat them equally and all that (Read: Donald Trump)

Thus, empower yourself.

Secure your career.
Manage your splurging lust.
Marry when you and your future spouse are sure about each other.
(And please, tak salah if kita nak cari calon time study. Just know the boundaries, Allah's there, always).

The point is keep going, girls. We are strong, stronger that we think we are. Prettier than we think we are. We are not lacking as we think we are. Allah tahu, He knows best. You just have to bring out the best of yourself.

We have our parents. Our families. We have each other. We love each other, don't you?

P/S: But i love my husband more 😘 🙃

🙆🏻,
Caca.
