20 year old

Assalamu'alaikum, fellow readers! Alhamdulillah, today I have reached the age of 20, and I know this is

Never knew I was this.. -_-

exceeding the post limit that I had set my mind into. I told myself, this day is (not so) a special occasion, that I must make a post about it.

It is my birthday! Yay! I am 20 now... Wait... Yay???
To be honest, I've been thinking about my life lately. Well, yeah.. Now that I'm 20, I think that there must be something that I can do for society. And then, I began watching Aiman Azlan's vlog again, and reading his blog, and by doing those, I found my answer.

Anyway, as i was saying. To be even more honest, when it comes to birthdays, I don't see it as a day or as an occasion that needs to be celebrated, but it is rather a day where I would always do a full inspection of myself in all aspects in life.

Ah, anyway.. I think I'll end this post here, cause, really.. I have no idea on what to type about. Because, well.. I'm really not that good in expressing about birthdays anyway. Eheh!

# Read THIS though for a more... I don't know.. Just go. Adieu! =)

Herbalife : Simple.

together at last =)

As a Herbalifian, appointments with new people (or maybe people that we know) is normal. So, I had an appointment yesterday with a new coachee in UNiMAS.

Now, what's with the awkward intro? Nothing. Just felt like telling you guys that! Har dee har har!

So, I brought my best friend along to UNiMAS yesterday, because coincidentally, we already made plans with two of our other best friends to meet up on the very same day. Alhamdulillah, the four of us were together yesterday and it made my whole day awesome.

The thing about yesterday was, the four of us has been separated for quite some time now, and though the distance and separation, our reunion yesterday really did prove that some things won't change. In my case, the closeness and togetherness that we share before until now remains the same. It felt like old days again. (I just noticed that I sound so, so, so OLD saying stuff like this.) Thank you for being awesome, girls! To be honest, to say goodbye was just the hardest thing to do yesterday. I really missed them. =)

Now, another coincidence for yesterday was the fact that there was a (I really don't know much, but probably it is. Probably.) mini shake party (or a mini HOM) in UNiMAS that I got to know of, and fortunately for me, two of my best friends decided to follow me to go to it (just because I said that there will be free shakes provided. -_-).

future  Herbalifians, perhaps? ;)

The event was very simple yesterday. We just sat down in an open space and began the event. Throughout the event, my best friends grew speechless and were in awe of what that is being presented to them. It made me remember the first STS that I went to in Kajang with my coach. It really felt awesome seeing how their eyes shined with the positive energy from the mini event. =)

As for me, yesterday was the FIRST of all my FIRST experience ever. I met with WT Syafiq and cikgu Razak (I'm sorry, but I don't know his recognition in Herbalife -- yet) and the others. They were so awesome and accepted me like as if I am from one of their teams. It was truly awesome. I had my FIRST experience ever to share my testimony in front of many others, and to share about my Herbalife journey. Yesterday was also the FIRST experience for me to bring guests to events and also, yesterday was the FIRST ever for me to finally found a prospect that is VERY serious (I hope it will stay so until the end, because truly, Herbalife is an awesome business opportunity for those who see far!).

Alhamdulillah, yesterday made me realize that the simplest kind of person also can become someone very awesome now! All I have to do is learn, ask, and DO. If I fail, then do again. If I fail again, then keep on doing! Success is a journey with no stops. The only thing that is stopping us from reaching success comes from within us!

# Thank you Allah, thank you Herbalife. I'm setting new goals for MY future now. Helping others and making them smile can really shines up your life. Believe me in that! =D

Sacrifice.

Life is too short to not smile =)

Once upon a time, there lived a girl and a guy. They were not couples, nor were they siblings, but they were very close friends. Too close, to be exact. People had often labelled them as two peas in a pod -- inseparable. The girl always come to the guy for advice, and the guy would always listen. They would fight a lot, but in the end, they would always end up being friends again. That's how awesome their relationship was.

But, little did they know, the girl grew fond of the guy. She denied the feeling, thinking, 'This is the work of the devil. There's no way I am in love with my best friend, my brother.', and she left the thought hanging without thinking further into it. As days go by, the feeling grew stronger, but the girl still insisted on pushing it aside and still accepted the guy as her best friend, as her brother. Until came one day...

The guy, on the other hand though, had never crossed his mind to think of the girl as his lover, nor has it ever occurred in his mind that he would have feelings for the girl
. There were times where the girl's presence just annoyed him and his ways. There were also times where the guy threatened to leave the girl because he grew tired of listening and dealing with such an emotional girl. But deep inside, he loved the girl, not as a lover, but as a brother. He loved her a lot, and the thought of hurting the girl was just beyond him, but his principle was simple. No pain, no gain.

One day, the guy met with another girl. A girl who would be involved in the same organisation as him and his friend. Little did he know, the presence of the newcomer hurt the girl, but the girl just didn't knew why. We call the newcomer as 'Diandra' and the friend as 'Clara' ; the guy as 'Peter'.

Peter met Diandra, and somehow, he fell in love. Clara and Diandra grew to be close friends.

One day, Peter proposed to Diandra, and Diandra promptly accepted. It took them 5 months before they were able to tell Clara of their engagement. During those 5 months, Clara began to accept the fact that she really did fell in love to Peter, and so she confided in Diandra, hoping that Diandra would understand, and she did. Whenever Clara would fight terribly with Peter, Clara would go to Diandra and cried. Clara began to realize that she was very in love with Peter that a tedious fight with Peter would cause her a heartbreak. Little did Clara know, Diandra was toughening up for her.

In the end, when Clara finally knew of their engagement, Clara knew that she can't go on in life. She needs to move on, and though the news was painful, she let it all go. Why? Because, after those 5 months, she began to grew to love Diandra more than she had loved herself. And also because after those 5 months, she began to realize that her love towards Peter was very sincere, that now she knows Peter will be happier with Diandra, she sacrificed her truest love in order for Peter to be happy.

And she did..

And now, Clara still lived in the lives of both Diandra and Peter. Peter is still Clara's brother (in her eyes) and Diandra is still Clara's closest friend.

# Moral of the story : If you truly love someone, all you want for them is to be happy. Even if it's not with you.

True. Sometime it hurts, but believe it deep in your heart, one day YOU, too, will find the right guy/girl.

Patience, and pray to Allah.

Let's focus on managing our Ummah first!

One day, I will be the mother of the next Ahmad Ammar! The next dai'e and khalifah of the century! The next Sultan Muhammad al-Fateh! =')

PS : Ignore the story. It is for you to judge whether it's fiction or it's real. =) I ain't even mad. Because I am okay, and I am awesome! =D

Smiles.

Our smile is also a form of sadaqah. =)

"Let your smile change the world,
Never let the world change your smile."


I had always love that quote.
Life is never stagnant. There are happy days, angry days, sad days, crazy days, organized days and so many other days. The joy in life comes from enduring all these ups and downs.

I remember when I was 15, it was like 5 years ago. I remember having a blog where I put the description as so (I still remember all these quite vividly, to be honest! EHEH!) :
"Wonders of life. The wonders of life doesn't just come from happiness and joy that we fill, but it also comes in the form of hardship and sorrows. These are the wonders of life. The black and the white of life..."

Imagine a 15 year-old me saying all those, but what about the 20 year-old me now?
I still believe in that 'wonder' that I had stated when I was 15, because it is true. I was young, but that younger me is more matured than the me now. There's something that needs to be done about that.

Smiles.
I had always believed that, whenever hardship or sorrow happens, always present to the world with a huge and BIG smile! Why? Because, when we smile to the world, the world will smile WITH us.

Life isn't all fun and games. I learned that the HARD way. What we want may not be what we NEED. And truly, Allah is the Most Knowing about all the things that happens in the world.
So, let's smile! Don't let our problems bring us down. Let our problems be the reason why we should smile more. Why? Because Allah is giving us a reason for us to be CLOSER to Him. Indeed, Allah is the Most Loving and the Most gracious and the Most Understanding.
Allahu akbar... =')

# Never let the world change your smile... Be the one who initiates the smile. Our smile can be the trigger of happiness in someone's life. =)
