Friday reminder (10)...
Facebook has its benefits too, sometimes...
Look what I've read on Fb...
********************************************************************
Asma Jellad I know a man who lost his parents but refused to be called an orphan. Man enough to love a strong woman years older than him, worked for her and made her stronger, opened his heart to her, shared his fears to no one but her,cleaned after himself and sewed his clothes, and was faithful to her till her last breath. He was good looking, courageous and fearless. He never judged anyone on their pasts or looks, and was moderate, open minded and tolerant. His neighbor was Jewish and his cousin-in-law was a Christian priest. Was beaten and exiled when he was helpless. Was merciful when he became stronger. Intelligent, wise and a hard worker, built a long lasting nation out of nothing in the last 20 years of his life. He had no parents, but loved his daughters and grandchildren. His last will was "Be good to women".This man is a dreamer, this man is my Prophet Mohammed, a man worth looking up to - peace be upon him - Don't just read, read and think who you are, and who you want to be for the people and the women you love.
اللهم صلى و سلم و بارك على سيدنا محمد·

Farewell Ramadhan...Welcome Syawal :)
I heard joyous laughs here,
I see fireworks light up the sky there,
People smiling, hugging,
They’re shaking hands with each other,
And food is served one after another.
Yet,
Why do I feel like crying?
Why don’t I feel like celebrating?
I guess things are not the same anymore,
I guess things won’t ever be like before,
Reluctant though I am, I still have to let it go.
How I wish time would just stop and rewind,
To the month when darkness are still in a bind,
To the days when I feel most calm and peaceful,
To the moments when I feel content and grateful,
The time when I feel…in touch with my real self.
Dearly departed,
You made me feel whole,
Thus, with all my heart and soul,
I pray that we’ll see each other,
You and me together,
My beloved,
Blessed,
Ramadhan…

Wonder wall (12)...
Screen capture taken from one of my favourite Malay movies entitled "Soal Hati" :
“Tanpa keberanian, mimpi tidak bermakna”
which means…
"Without courage, one’s dream is meaningless"

Six words from a beautiful verse from the Al-Quran
that will make you love your mother even more :)
"Respect the womb that bore you". [04:01 | Quran]
How beautiful. Quran & Sunnah both teach us Mothers have a special place in our hearts.
"Respect the womb that bore you". [04:01 | Quran]
How beautiful. Quran & Sunnah both teach us Mothers have a special place in our hearts.
In childhood they carried our burden and in their old age they become dependent upon us.
May Allah allow us all to achieve Jannah by serving our parents.
Let us all make a collective prayer for our parents:
"My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up [when I was] small."
[Qur'an, Surah Al-Isra, 17:23-24]
Amin

Travel over time & space for Mr. Darcy :)
Mom & I were lounging in front of the TV on the 2nd day of Chinese New Year. And we’ve stumbled upon a delightful Hallmark movie entitled “Edge of the Garden”. It was a romance movie with…yup, as usual, a twist! Well, to be specific, it’s sort of a time travel romance, which I absolutely adore…, kekeke. After all, nothing like plain old chivalry to enlighten one’s dreamy escapade. Huhu.
And then, after watching the movie, I rushed to download it via the net. However, due to copyright issues and what-not, my effort is useless…for the time being anyway. Yet, I’ve found one fascinating British movie which made me lose my sleep trying to download it. But, IT’S TOTALLY WORTH IT!!
It’s another twisted romance movie, and this time, it’s called “Lost in Austen”. And, it’s not really a movie; it’s a 4-part TV miniseries. It’s about Amanda Price, a modern day working girl who is an avid reader of one of Jane Austen’s masterpiece, which is “Pride & Prejudice” of course. She always dreamt that modern men could be more like the men in Austen’s books. And whadya know? She got her wish! Talk about wishful thinking!!
One night, a strange and unexpected event happened in…of all places, her bathroom! She found a stranger stumbling in the dark in her bathroom. And the stranger is none other than, Miss Elizabeth Bennet herself! For those who know nothing about Austen’s works, Elizabeth Bennet (a.k.a. Lizzie) is the heroine in “Pride & Prejudice”.
The story goes like this…well, in some strange twist, Lizzie tricked Amanda into going through the ‘door’ & swapping places with her. Therefore, Lizzie is enjoying herself in the modern world, while Amanda is stuck in literature! Amanda’s modern clothes, way of speaking & mannerisms made her stuck out like a sore thumb. Not to mention the plot of the novel has gone haywire since Amanda’s arrival. This is of course due to Amanda’s meddling in affairs which are not her own which made matters worse & worse and totally…FUN!
What kind of meddlesome things, you say? Well, lemme see…Mr. Bingley who is supposed to be fond of Jane Bennet is somehow interested in Amanda. Then, Jane marries the dastardly disgusting Mr. Collins. Another one is when Amanda eventually discovered that Mr. Wickham is actually a good man who later becomes Amanda’s co-conspirator throughout her attempts in restoring the novel’s plot. Nevertheless, the thing I enjoyed most is that our Mr. Darcy finds himself utterly besotted with the eccentric Amanda, and NOT Elizabeth Bennet (who is by the way, played by the gorgeous Gemma Arterton).
“Not one heartbeat do I forget”
Aww…I adore Mr. Darcy…hehe.
Anyway, I could hardly recognise the cast. And to tell you the truth, most of the cast members are rather…plain-looking. Amanda Price who is the heroine has some sort of…hmm, lemme see….’fish’ lips? And Mr. Darcy is rather…awfully plain. But, I love them! I love all of the cast members, even the icky Mr. Collins…keke.
If you are a bookworm & most importantly a silly time travel romance buff like me, you seriously need to watch this miniseries. It’s marvellous. 5 stars people…5 stars :)
