learn from the ants, you lazybones!

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim..


Im getting bored of reading the equations (prob& stat) again and again, so I decided to waste my time writing this. huhu

I could feel the cold breeze washing over my face, entering from the half opened window as it had rained just now. What a wonderful feeling! ^_^


Then suddenly my eyes darted from the window to a smooth traffic of cute little ants crawling across the chaotic desk of mine, passing through the monitor which has been idle for quite some time. I knew that I should be studying Probability and Statistic or Chemical Reaction Engineering, or maybe Separation Process. Arg. I really really had no time to play around coz I got 4 killing papers in 4 straight consecutive days! T.T
but then, I ended up studying the ants’ highway. Phewh~



Ok, Let me share with you what i saw from that ten minutes observation. The most amazing thing about these teeny-tiny little ants is that they never got stuck in traffic jam! Its kinda funny but try to look at them, you will see, they don’t overtake each other. I think people should take traffic control lessons from these little creatures. Seriously.


No wonder.. they’re ants. They won’t get hurt if they bumped into each other ! :P

But these little ants, the worker ants, barely bigger than our eye crust, have the ability to follow a trail, move in a line, wander around and search for food, carry heavy load over their tiny head, and work together to create entire underground civilizations! That tiny little ant… with a tiny little head… and a tiny little brain, no more than just a few brain cells connected together, can actually think about their other millions of brothers and sisters at home who needed food, they sacrifice themselves to go to the outside world which is full of obstacles and dangers, where their tiny body can easily be smashed anytime. But they never fail to perform their duty assigned to them!


They are remarkably hard working creatures aren’t they? They work sooo hard to drag a piece of food. And they never give up too! Ants never quit! Try to stop them, they’ll surely find another way. They even worked themselves to death!


How possibly these tiny creatures with tiny brains managed to ensure the survival of the colony?


This is absolutely the proof that they are acting on the inspiration of a certain "supervisor". It is true! these ants can establish such a great and perfect order, and all their works are made possible by an inspiration Allah has given them. And they abide by it, completely. Subhanallah..


What about us? Whose brains are a billion times bigger than that of ants’? Have we performed our duty Allah has assigned to us? What a question to ponder upon huh?

Those cute ants really made me think.. about sacrifice, to be more hard working, to be more organized, helping and sharing with others, brave, and of course, they tell me that I really need some cleaning here! Yikes!


Learn from the ants - Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can..

Its raining!

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim..

dearest biskut meri and friends..

lets talk about rain~ hee



Its raining
Its pouring
The old man is snoring..
He went to bed, and bumped his head
And couldn’t get up in the morning

[nursery rhymes]

-I like to sing this song when I was little. :)
why.. why all become so lazy and sleepy when its raining huh?


Its raining now. I just love when its raining. Its so romantic. Don’t you think so? Its like when I listen to the sound of the raindrops it can just wash away all the pain. Like listening to a beautiful song. Chewah. Anyway, rain is indeed one of Allah’s greatest blessings in life. It’s a symbol of growth. And fertilization. It is very very important to all living things as mentioned by Allah in various verses from the Quran,



"And We send down from the sky rain charted with blessing, and
We produce therewith gardens and Grain for harvests"

[Qaf:9]





Hadnt we noticed? all those beautiful gardens, trees and flowers grow beautifully from the same water given by Allah. and from that we get our food and drinks. this is definitely the signs of Allah's love to us. Alhamdulillah.. Thank you Allah! :D

So do you like rain? I wonder why there are people who don’t like rain. how anyone could get unhappy over such a beautiful blessing from Allah? Rain is a miracle, mercy by Allah, for us. Subhanallah.. Allah has said that,


“He it is Who sends down water (rain) from the sky, from it you drink and from it grows the vegetation on which you send your cattle to pasture. With it He causes to grow for you crops, the olives, date palms, grapes and every kind of fruit. Verily! In this is indeed a Sign (of the Divine existence and providence) for people who give thought” (an-nahl :10-11)


"And Allah sends down rain from the skies, and gives therewith life to the earth after its death; verily in this is a Sign for those who listen."
[An-Nahl:65]


Do we belong to those who give thought? And those who listen? Hmm..


Ya Allah, please don’t let our hearts become so black and corrupted that the most obvious of Allah's Mercy on us goes unnoticed.

How sad a heart that must be.


And.. do you know that when its raining.. its one of the special times that our do’a are most likely to be answered. What are we waiting for? Lets pray!


Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace & blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Two are the du’as that are never rejected: the du’a made when the prayer is being called, and at the time of rainfall.” (Abu Dawud).



Supplication for rain:

During rainfall:

O Allaah, send upon us helpful, wholesome and healthy rain, beneficial not harmful rain, now, not later.


After rainfall:





It has rained by the bounty of Allah and His mercy


Open your window, focus on your senses. Watch the raindrops as they create puddles, listen to the different tones. Take a deeeep breath, feel the freshness of the air that only a fresh rainfall can give. oh I cant wait to smell the fresh air after this... and a beautiful rainbow! hopefully.
OH I LOVE RAIN! AND RAINBOWS :)

Don’t go to sleep! You might get your head bumped! huhu.


Allah's creation. how beautiful. masyaAllah
