ME: I am minimalist

Hai.

Did you ever heard about minimalism? What is minimalist? In my point of view, minimalist is an advocates or practices or action towards minimalism. Something like, living with less situation as possible. Yeah.

Minimalist and islam? In response to this question, i once seen a statement that... In the day of judgement, Allah will ask me what action I use on the things I have own for the reward or pahala. Then, I did some research on form of zuhd words (detachment). Specifically it tells about, opposite anger or less concerned about dhunya. According to Al Junayd, 

"Zuhd is to free the heart from wanting"

And Imaam Ahmad stated,

"Zuhd is not to have many expectations ."

Minimalist and my life? To be honest, I started practicing about this around two years ago, four five months before going to Umrah. Because of being tied to a tight financial plan, I began to spend less and started to minimize everything. Includes foods spent, window shopping, travelling here and there also about enjoying my life. I dropped everything to zero or less than a normal person.

A month before my scheduled flight, i give away everything such as my clothes or personal belonging. These makes me owning things in two big luggage only. Not included my car then, can you imagine that?

Minimalist and the differences? There are so many stories to share from this experience to be a minimum. Interestingly, I've been spending less, not wasting, and can save more. I refuse to buy what is not necessary, reducing fast foods especially. The savings has given me a lot of returns and can give more to those in need. Why do I need to increase the burden, or save much money if the provision is divisible to whon in need.

Personally, i also aware that i appreciated more gifts from everyone and if I'm not use it, i will given to whom more needed or sent it to h&m project. I not kept it, sorry guys because i rather just let it go. 

Minimalist and excitement? So far, I'm happy with this change. I will continue because it has given me to be better person. I was born not to brag about how good I am but just to simplify my life to make things work. Pursuing the Hereafter is also in a treasure in the world. 

Insyaallah. Please pray for me. 

Goodbye letter

Hai.
I already finished my study at University of Malaya last month.
Alhamdulillah.
And on behalf of my classmates, i did wrote this simple goodbye letter for my beloved lecturer.
She’s a good women and very intelligent.
So, yeah.
Enjoy.

First time goes, we say, Ah no!
The sudent title? Exam at every pore?
Then insensitive and insane start to show.
Statement to strive for gear or store back.
Falling and not be okay.
But you, our madame is so kind.
Who's patience and devotion unconditionally.
Push us, discipline us, sharper our skills too.
You're truly a cheerleader without her pom poms.
Madam, time stays, but we need to go.
We apologise in this year round.
Sincerely, you did was totally awesome!
Thanks a bunch! And we all love you.

FOODS: Pokok Kl Cafe

Assalamualaikum.

Yesterday, me and my friend go straight came here after my final paper at University Malaya. Just took us about seven minutes drove without any traffic. This beautiful café name Pokok Kl Café. Cute name right. Wave it, maps it!

It is located at Block B inside the Mahsa Avanue, Jalan University. I’m not really sure if you can park outside and got in with any back door, duh. If you done parking inside, just walk few seconds back to the security…like going to the main entrance. But, at the middle you will see free space that show insider of the avenue. Walked through it, lucky enough if you can see Block B. If not, turn to the left and find the yellowish sign. Pokok Kl Café.

So, the building is so nice with lot of ‘pokok’ surrounded it. No wonder they named it like that. They have two sites, inside the glasses building or just chilling outside. Not to forget about the water sprinkle on the roof duh. So refreshing.

They decorated it very well with back to nature theme. So when you opened the door, just like any other café….everything looks cute and adorable. With some of plants hang on the top. Not so heavy items placed. The lights on spot too. They said when night time, more beautiful. But, day time also Instagram worthy!

You need to ordered over the counter. And they only about ten or so as the main dish. Something likes nasi lemak…the only type of nasi serve here. Also got pasta and other western foods. Range price around Rm 18.00 to Rm 35.00. About that. Drinks, range Rm 10.00 so-so.

The meals for pasta carbonara so delicious. Nasi lemak, not too bad. The portion is big to me, you can share to two people for one plate. Not sure about the cake taste, but lots of people ordered it. Can tried it if you wants.

This place sound perfect, just my point of view in certain part… Where, this place is so small. So, you can hear gossip from next table. Hahhahah… And because it is inside the glasses, the refractive from people talking here and they can irritate a bit. Also not recommended for hang out with a big groups like ten and above. Maybe four or two buddies are okay. Enjoy!

Please find this yellowish sign first.

Decoration area over the counter.

Can you seen that plants hang on the top

The nasi lemak looks.
