Memories in Portobello Harbour

Sunday, February 25th, 2007

We moved in summer 2005 and we moved out in spring 2007.. Through the external seasons of snow, flowers, summers, and leaves,  time floats by with internal seasons of bittersweet memories.. Time that teaches us the meaning of life and what’s all about. If I would to describe here each and every detail of our memories here, i’ll just run out of words or maybe tears of gratefulness..  briefly i’d say that for the time that we live here, i’m blessed.. i’m blessed with happiness, friendship and what’s more, i’m blessed with an opportunity to ‘grow’.. alhamdulillah..
For the friendship i sought, i find joy and warmth there - my beloved housemates ‘mummy’ nafis, huda, ‘gran’ farah and wawa - i’m so just happy to be with you all :) together we went through the rocky pathways and it’s nice to have each other to fall back into :) during sickness, we took care of each other, during stressful exam times, we support each other, during domestic household problems, we solved it together, we’re just like sisters :) and during fights, we managed to apologize and hug each other again after things settled.. all of the memories that we created and we shared under this same roof, it’s priceless, i cant buy it or find it anywhere else, as it’s the lessons of life.  Thank you all. and for my ‘mummy’ whom going back to PMC soon, life here would never be the same without you, we’ll just feel ‘incomplete’.. be missing u so much..dont forget us here mummy..
i’ll always remember the early morning ambience when crossing the canal everyday to class.. with the graceful white swans floating on the clear water, birds chirping and the smell of fresh dew, life seems so perfect ..

Terima kasih..

Thank you so much to our fellow ‘tough’ friends " mamat, jimi, malol, onyang, bakry, mat kurt and nabil" who helped us with the heavy duty boxes!!! moving house surely is not one easy thing! we are overwhelmed with feelings of gratitude, for without their help, we just cant manage it ourselves..

When Good Friends Go..

Friday, February 16th, 2007

    And the time has finally come for my dear PMC friends to leave Dublin..life just goes on..  for two and half years we faced all the hardship of medical life and also the joy of it, we shared the tough challenges of life in Dublin and also the happy moments of the cherished occasions…. With families a thousand miles away, friendship what makes us stand strong here..friends have become like family.. and i’m blessed with such good friends who are always sweet and dear ..
i’ll certainly miss them so much.. life here will be a bit lonelier.. but whatever and wherever we are, let’s remain strong in the right path and let not this be an end to a lifelong friendship :)

"Ya Allah, Engkau mengetahui bahwa hati-hati kami ini telah berkumpul di
tempat ini karena mengasihi-MU; bertemu untuk memenuhi perintah-Mu;
bersatu untuk memikul beban da’wah-Mu. 

Hati-hati ini telah mengikat janji setia untuk mendaulat dan menyokong
syariat-Mu.  Maka eratkanlah ya Allah atas ikatannya, dan kekalkanlah
kemesraan di antara hati-hati ini. Tunjukkan kepada hati-hati ini akan
jalan-Mu yang haq.

Penuhkan hati ini dengan cahaya Rabbani-Mu yang tidak kunjung padam.
Lapangkan hati ini dengan limpahan iman dan keindahan tawakkal
kepada-Mu.  Hidupkan hati ini dengan ma’rifat tentang-Mu.

Dan jika Engkau mentakdirkan mati, maka matikanlah pemilik hati-hati
ini sebagai para syuhada dalam perjuangan agama-MU. 
Engkaulah sebaik-baik sandaran dan sebaik-baik penolong. "
