There are lots of things around us that could inspire or warn us.
Don't just open your eyes, but also your mind and heart..
and you will be amazed with what the world offers you.. ;)  





A lighthouse and its shadow at Howth..

The sea was so quiet and relaxing, and look at the water and sky, so clear and blue! :)

Sunrise at the Maples

It's truly the beauty of nature.. :)



One fine weekend at Howth

It was sunny and bright. Some people went there with their family to have a picnic. Some people walked their dog.



My first snow experience.. ^_^

This picture was taken from the window in my bedroom (1st January 2010). I was so ecstatic, beyond excited! :D

A collection of yachts at Howth

I wish I had one.. :P

Desire

A regular normal day, regular routines
seems boring? No, that's just a surface

One exciting day
that's what I thought
overwhelming feelings
I kept it calm, unwritten on my face

Just a gratitude I could express
perhaps one tiny smiley curve on my lips
nothing else

It's clear
one thing made me happy
just one thing
but that's enough for me to think
The world behaves nicer towards me today

Suddenly
heard a word
unpleasant word
usually took it as a joke, no hurt feeling

But now completely different
the source of my today's happiness, that's where the word came from
it brought me down, it really did

The moment had passed
brought me to a realisation
something I've already known
but unintentionally ignore it, deny it
nothing I can do to fix the past moment but learn one lesson
one valuable lesson

"Following your desire in this world will bring you down at some point. If you follow only the Almighty Allah SWT, you'll feel the total freedom. Be grateful and peaceful for whatever Allah gives you as He knows what is best for you."

[Poem] Hijab

I read this poem on the Muslim Youth Ireland page on Facebook. I love it so much that I want to share it with you, readers. Dedicated to all sisters. ;)
Hijab
I turn the corner find people looking and staring
Simply because my hair isn’t baring
I wonder why…
I then realise…

Some think I am controlled
Whilst others believe I am uneducated
I wonder why…
I then realise…

These people with these thoughts feel I have no voice
They think being hooded means I have no choice
I wonder why…
I then realise…

People whisper that I am oppressed and rejected
For they do not know I am covered and well respected!
I am not judged by how I look
But the way I speak and my conduct

So while passers by may see me as a reject
I know inside I am perfect
