When I was a kid, I read a story about a pious man who ate an apple that he found floating on a river until he realized that he didn’t asked for permission to have that apple and had traced back to the owner of the apple (trees) and asked for permission. The owner, impressed with the man’s piety, gave him challenges. He agreed to “halalkan” the apple if the man agrees to work for him for several years and marry his daughter who is blind, deaf, mute and disabled. The man, though felt that the conditions are quite heavy, agreed to it. Turned out, the daughter is in perfect condition and in fact is very pretty. He asked his wife why her father said she is totally disabled, she replied “My father said i was deaf because these ears have never heard haram, he said I was mute, because I have never spoken haram, he said i am handless and without feet because i have never touched or walked to anything haram.”
These people are later known as the parents of Imam Abu Hanifa.

So, my question is.. who would you be? Do you prefer being the naive girl or do you prefer to be the know-it-all girl?

"try everything at least once in your life" ... tu prinsip i la lamaaa dulu. But then again, watch what you are planning to try... definite no-no to extreme fear i.e bungee jumping, sky diving and definite no-no to drugs. I don't want to be naive... Ignorance is bliss but being too ignorant is stupid, ye tak? How many men nowadays nak women yang naive in everything? And the most important thing, do you want to be a woman who is "too secure" that home or maybe room is your only world?

Islamically speaking... it's good la to jaga all things like jalan tundukkkan pandangan, makan also jaga, even the source of the food tu kena ambil tau, mulut also need to jaga, telinga also need to jaga, husband kena yang pious, wife also yang pious.... if it is possible in this era to do all these..... would you be that girl tanjung? I certainly am not that type of girl.... I am the type of woman who change from bad to better. Yang citer zaman nabi tu, she was basically born and raised from best to ??? ish susah nak explain ni... but i bet you got what i mean... -sarimah-

Jangan jadi bodoh sehingga boleh dipijak orang.

But knowing everything sometimes takes away the fun of living. Cause the joy is mostly in the learning process. That's when everything seems novel and exciting. You will laugh, you will struggle, you will fall and feel disappointed. And sometimes even proud and triumphant over your little achievements that may seem unimportant to others.

But you will have lived because of that. All those emotions, they prove that you're alive.

Bila kita dah pandai buat something, kadang2 benda tu jadi membosankan sebab dia dah jadi rutin.
