Trials of Life

Sami Yusuf's latest album: Wherever You Are is out! I love all the songs, but Trials of Life really captivated me. I'm planning on a detailed review of this album insya Allah. Till then, feel free to check out its melodies and beautiful lyrics.

My life is not the same
When I’m too concerned by what they say
Why should I? When I have you
To doubt you would be the worst mistake

Deep inside I know
That amidst all the darkness
And everything, which makes no sense
I know that you exist
You are the light
That guides me through my darkest nights
That shows me right from wrong in life
In a world that often lies

Cause I don’t need anyone
Nor anything in life
But You
No I don’t need anyone
To show me my way
No I don’t need anyone
But You

Trials of life upon me
Are more precious than diamonds and gold
Tested with fire I may be
But I know I’ll come out stronger in this world

Deep inside I know
That amidst all the darkness
And everything, which makes no sense
I know that you exist
You are the light
That guides me through my darkest nights
That shows me right from wrong in life
In a world that often lies

Cause I don’t need anyone
Nor anything in life
But You
No I don’t need anyone
To show me my way
No I don’t need anyone
But You

I only want the things
You know is best for me
I’d gladly sacrifice
If that’s what you decree
I would break and
Mourn in eternity
Perish into the sea
If that’s what you want for me

Hanya CintaMu

Yang Maha Memakbulkan

Aku mohon

Pautkan hatiku pada kasihMu

Dekatkan kalbuku pada redhaMu

Jadikan aku damba cintaMu

Yang Maha Pengampun

Aku mohon

Hatiku renggang dari nafsu

Kalbuku jauh dari angan-angan fana

Cetuskan cinta pada yang mencintaiMu

Bukan dasarnya roman wajah yang jernih

Atau godaan senyuman memukau

Kaburkan pandanganku pada keindahan sementara

Hindarkan hati mengimpi yang terlarang

Tuntun firasatku pada rohani yang ayu

Yang aku pinta

Cinta syurgawi

Hanya cintaMu

Norwegian?

To be honest, I am not the 'cuddly' type with any pet. Once, in high school I thought I loved rabbits, but it does not prevail. Simply put, I am neutral when it comes to animal pets such as cats, rabbits, hamsters etc. Feeding or giving them nice shelter is ok with me, but no cuddling ok. The only type of cats which I like is the ones which do not react when I stroke or caress them.

Thus, when I tried this quiz suggested by my good friend Zakiah, I am not that surprised when I got the following result:
The Norwegian Forest Cat is strong and independent. She is reserved with newcomers but blossoms in the company of old friends. Confidently defending what is hers, she does not like strangers in her territory. Her luxurious coat is a lot to handle, and necessity dictates regular upkeep. An amazing athlete, the Norwegian Forest Cat thrives on physical activity, and no leap is too great or prey too quick for her to tackle. This huntress is clearly queen of her domain!

Most of the descriptions are true, but strong and independent? Hmm, not that strong I presume, though I am trying to be strong. Anyway, I think this Norwegian is so cute, hope she will let me stroking her fur without reacting :D

Gerangan Gurita

Sang Gurita Paul terpinga-pinga

Apa gerangan semua peduli pada dirinya

Paul hanya mau bermain-main ria

Bergayut-gayut di kotak penuh ceria

Sang Gurita Paul hairan sekali

Sorak sorai bergema pabila dirinya berhenti

Melekap kemas pada kotak berisi

Sedang dirinya tidak ketahuan apa yang dicari

Sang Gurita Paul akhirnya maklum

Meski dirinya tampak tidak mafhum

Rupanya Paul jadi bahan penentu taruhan

Beristighfar panjang Paul mengenangkan balasan

Apa mereka tidak takutkan Tuhan?

Syirik itu bukan mainan

Usah sesekali terhumban

cetusan rasa:
