What Goes Around, Comes Around


One day a man saw an old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her.

Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe; he looked poor and hungry. He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt. It was those chills which only fear can put in you. He said, "I'm here to help you, ma'am. Why don't you wait in the car where it's warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson."
Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt. As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just passing through. She couldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid.
Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady asked how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened had he not stopped. Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty, who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Bryan added, "And think of me."
He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the twilight.
*****
A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to grab a bite to eat, and take the chill off before she made the last leg of her trip home. It was a dingy looking restaurant. Outside were two old gas pumps. The whole scene was unfamiliar to her. The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn't erase. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan …
After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the old lady had slipped right out the door. She was gone by the time the waitress came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be. Then she noticed something written on the napkin.
There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote:
"You don't owe me anything. I have been there too. Somebody once helped me out, the way I'm helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: Do not let this chain of love end with you."
Under the napkin were FOUR more $100 bills. Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to serve, but the waitress made it through another day. That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written. How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed it? With the baby due next month, it was going to be hard....
She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her, she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low, "Everything's going to be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson."
>Today, I post you this story (though I didn’t actually write it) and I'm asking you to pass it on. There is an old saying: "What goes around comes around" and it is TRUE. There’s NO HARM of helping out other people, right? Let this light shine :]

Just keep swimming~


Assalamualaikum w.b.t
Dear friends and readers,
Remember this little fella? Yup, none other than the blue Dory from Finding Nemo XD

We have HIGH expectations in life. But life might let you down. Life is HARD! But,
*just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming :0

We have tons of questions lingering in our mind. Nape aku tak dapat result SPM yg aku nak? Nape orang lain lagi bagus dari aku? :'(

KITA BERTANYA: KENAPA AKU DIUJI?
QURAN MENJAWAB:
“Apakah manusia itu mengira bahawa mereka dibiarkan saja mengatakan; 'Kami telah beriman,' ('I am full of faith to Allah') sedangkan mereka tidak diuji? Dan sesungguhnya Kami telah menguji org2 yg sebelum mereka, maka sesungguhnya Allah mengetahui org2 yg benar dan, sesungguhnya Dia mengetahui org2 yg dusta.”
Surah Al-Ankabut ayat 2-3

KITA BERTANYA: KENAPA AKU TAK DAPAT APA YG AKU IDAM-IDAMKAN? < ---- HERE!!!
QURAN MENJAWAB:
“Boleh jadi kamu membenci sesuatu padahal ia amat baik bagimu, dan boleh jadi pula kamu menyukai sesuatu, padahal ia amat buruk bagimu, Allah mengetahui sedang kamu tidak mengetahui.”
Surah Al-Baqarah ayat 216

KITA BERTANYA: KENAPA UJIAN SEBERAT INI?
QURAN MENJAWAB:
“Allah tidak membebani seseorang itu melainkan sesuai dengan kesanggupannya.”
 Surah Al-Baqarah ayat 286
KITA BERTANYA: KENAPA RASA KECEWA?
QURAN MENJAWAB:
“Jgnlah kamu bersikap lemah, dan jgnlah pula kamu bersedih hati, padahal kamulah org2 yg paling tinggi darjatnya, jika kamu org2 yg beriman.”
Surah Al-Imran ayat 139

KITA BERTANYA: BAGAIMANA HARUS AKU MENGHADAPINYA?
QURAN MENJAWAB:
“Wahai orang-orang yang beriman! Bersabarlah kamu (menghadapi segala kesukaran dalam mengerjakan perkara-perkara yang berkebajikan), dan kuatkanlah kesabaran kamu lebih daripada kesabaran musuh, di medan perjuangan), dan bersedialah (dengan kekuatan pertahanan di daerah-daerah sempadan) serta bertaqwalah (be fearfull of Allah The Almighty) kamu kepada Allah supaya, kamu berjaya (mencapai kemenangan).”
“Dan mintalah pertolongan (kepada Allah) dengan jalan sabar dan
mengerjakan sembahyang; dan sesungguhnya sembahyang itu amatlah berat
kecuali kepada orang-orang yang khusyuk
Surah Al-Baqarah ayat 45

KITA BERTANYA: APA YANG AKU DAPAT DRPD SEMUA INI?
QURAN MENJAWAB:
“Sesungguhnya Allah telah membeli dari org2 mu'min, diri, harta mereka
dengan memberikan syurga utk mereka... ?”
Surah At-Taubah ayat 111

CLOUD 8 :)


23rd March. 3.18 am. I abruptly woke up with tears rolling down my cheeks that it wet my pillow (I cried while I was sleeping). Why? I dreamt that I had this TERRIBLE SPM result, very horrifying that I don’t get any As and even almost failed. :’(
Dalam perjalanan ke SSP;
Mama: Hanie nh rilek je. Mama yg takot nak amek result.
Hanie: Heh. (smiling)
I REALLY expect to have TIGERS GROWLING in my stomach, but surprisingly I felt nothing. I felt so calm. Maybe because I had experienced the worst in my nightmare that it felt so real. Sy dah redha dengan semua ketentuan-Nya. Sy dah lakukan yang terbaik, kini hanya bertawakkal.
We all just waited at the lobby first and did some HIs and HUGs with the girls. Then, we hit the HALL of REVEALATION. Man, in there it was icy cold! With the sweaty palms, it felt colder. Yet, we managed to heat up the chairs while waiting for the results’ announcement (more than 2 and half hours of just waiting).
I think that our school was the LAST one to announce the result. While waiting, we chatted and I made a few phone calls. Banyak la gak spend nak call sume org, but it was worth it. Most of them sume dah taw result -.- Some were AMAZING and some were NOT-UP-TO-THE-EXPECTATIONS. Whatever it was, u guys and girls are still the BEST!
Sadly to say, none of us managed to strive straight A+ which what we had aimed for. Nevertheless, 48 students succeed with flying colours of straight As!
CONGRATULATIONS!

(I’m so proud of HERMANAS)
A thousand, million, billion, trillion, ZILLION THANKS to OUR BELOVED TEACHERS!!!
Hanya Allah jua yang mampu membalas jasa guru-guru semua. Ya Allah, Kau berkatikanlah usaha murni guru-guru kami ini. Murahkanlah rezeki mereka, berikanlah kesihatan yang baik kepada mereka dan tempatkanlah mereka dalam kalangan orang-orang beriman yang Engkau sayangi. Amin.
PAST is now history. A NEW history shall be created. Now, a path should be taken. We are now Robert Frost; trying to figure out the best road for us. People, all the best for your future undertakings keyh? :D


What did I get? Alhamdulillah, I was among the 48 students.
I got 8A+ and 1A (bio). That’s why it is CLOUDD 8 instead of CLOUD 9, get it? XD

Pasca SPM, Prakeputusan SPM

I’m clearly aware that TOMORROW will be the announcement for the SPM results. Whatever happens, it’s not the end of the world yet. Everything will happen for a reason. Always bear in mind that Allah knows the BEST for us, no doubt about that. Frankly speaking, I don’t feel nervous about tomorrow at all, though I know that it will somehow answer my prayers about the future that awaits me. Maybe NOW I don’t have a single butterfly in my stomach, but I bet tomorrow on my way to SSP I will have TIGERS GROWLING in my stomach. XD
When we focused too much on our FUTURE, we tend to neglect the PRESENT and even forget the PAST that had made what we are today.
Well, in the post I actually want to reflect back what did I done in the past 3 months while waiting for my SPM result. But before that, this was what I actually had planned during my SPM for my PASCA SPM programme:


Basically, I what I had planned tidak berapa menjadi.hahaha
BUT, what I had done;
;) Established this bloggie
;) Took driving classes and managed to get my P license
;) Went to Sabah for a family trip

;) Attended the 1st stage of Khazanah’s interview, PKTR’s, and to be an exam assistant
;) Went to  Edu Fair at KLCC-hoping to pursue medic at that time laa
;) Involved in F1 in Schools exhibition during IIRIE in IIUM-it was a HUGE success!

;) Made a paper-made-blinds for my room-DIY
;) Send off Bibik to Indonesia-got a new maid, thankfully
;) Hangouts at OU, KLCC, MID, WANGSAWALK
;) Went to PKTR for 2 weeks-BEST GLE!
;) Became 18-heheh. I’m legal already
;) Read BOOKSSSSSS-more than 20 I think
;) Tons of movies-including the above 18 ones :P
;) Built a stronger love bonds with my siblings and family
Dina and Alif <3
 
And, obviously I didn’t spend my 3 months STUDYING nor WORKING. Though during the 3 months I had jalan-jalan, main-main, makan-makan, tido, wasting my time but I NEVER regret it. I had worked hard, and it was supposed to be my months off before hitting back the road that leads to my future.
