Consumed

In the name of Allah,
Most Gracious, Most Merciful,
Praise be to Allah,
the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds,
and Peace and Prayer be upon the Final Prophet and Messenger. Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Quran

I went to Watsons earlier today to look for my shampoo and I accidentally bought something that I really really regret. (whocares?)

It was a Himalaya Hair Revival Cream with a free shampoo.

The Hair Revival Cream(which I obviously don't need) costs RM55.90.

The only reason why I took it off the shelf earlier was because I thought it was the cream that's free, and not the shampoo.

Because the shampoo should cost about below RM10 something so yeah, that's why I put it in my shopping basket in the first place.

Turned out it isn't.

Imagine the heart attack that I felt when I was paying for my stuffs.

And the best part of this story is, it was clearly labelled "Free shampoo".

My point is, I am an impulsive shopper and I never cared to bargain, even when I know I can.

This is a habit that I have been trying to fight ever since I was born(almost literally).

I never cared to look at the price tags, which means when I'm gone shopping, I simply put stuffs in the trolley and I will only know how much it costs at the counter.

And usually, I didn't spend that much.

But this time, this incident literally blown my mind.

I am 100% at fault for not paying attention to the labels, and also the price, apparently.

Labels are there for a reason, Farah.

They are for you to READ!

Labels are NOT for illustrations.

So, serve me right for having to spend extra RM50 due to my own ignorance.

I'm still not over blaming myself but inshaAllah, I've learnt my lesson.

Always READ the price tags.

It ain't that hard really.

So now I'm just gonna shut up and stare at my RM50 worth Hair Revival Cream. (And I'm not even balddddddd gahhhhhhh)
MySpace

So, kids, don't make the same mistake that I did.


Salam alaik and peace out~

(still staring at the RM50 worth Hair Revival Cream)


We must hurt in order to grow, fail in order to know, & lose in order to gain. Because some lessons in life, are best learnt through pain.

A revert's thoughts on LGBTQ

First of all, what does LGBTQ stands for?  L = lesbian G = gay B = bisexual T = transgender Q = queer I am pretty sure everyone's familiar with the first 4 sexual orientation but what about the last one? Queers are people who are not sure of their own sexual identity.  So what does it mean to belong to the 5 sexual orientation? Let's just assume I am secretly a lesbian. So how would you react to that?  Do you judge me?  Or do you accept me as I am? I got married with a man and have 2 kids as a result of the marriage, there's nothing wrong with that isn't it? I am doing nothing wrong despite having an against the fitrah inclination towards the same sex.  It will only become wrong if they chose to act on their sexual orientation.  They claim that the sexual orientation is a result of nature and nothing can be done to change it. Like in a transgender's case, they think that "God made a mistake and switched their ge...

My dad's turn

because ALLAH is with me.... Earlier today i was shocked by a text message sent to me from one of my aunt from my dad's side. "Why didn't you tell me that you've become a Muslim? Sampai hati tak bagitau, bukan perkara tak baik pun." This raised a question mark in my head. Who told her? She's a Muslim by the way. Then onwards, after a few exchanging text messages, i finally come to a realization. I have to tell my dad before he found out from someone else. That would be worst. So, i started to type on my cellphone. "Daddy, i've become a Muslim. Ever since i'm at KTT. I am telling you via sms so that you will be clear of why i am doing this and so that you will not hear this from other people who might exaggerate the story. I didn't become a Muslim because i have a boyfriend. Not because i was influenced by my friends. And also not because i wanted to join PAS. But because i have taken interest in Islam ever since i'm at...

Mummy

Finally, after 1 and a half years(maybe more), the truth is out. I confessed to my mum about me being a Muslim. When I first told her, she was upset and angry. She asked me: Who influenced you into being one? Did u have a boyfriend? Who converted you? Did you know that it’s a big sin to convert when you are already baptized?! I was silent all the while she was bombarding me with her questions but Alhamdulillah, I feel calm and unmoved. I didn’t feel guilty at all. So I told her, Mummy, nobody forced me to become one. No, that is not the reason I become a Muslim. Do you notice that I’ve become more closer to you since past one and a half years?  And my mum said yes, you’ve become better but still… Then I said, it is because of Islam that I changed from my old ways. I used to yell at you but since I became a Muslim, I learned how to be better, to appreciate my parents better. And then she said something I expected she would say. No wonder you didn’t pass your ...
