Hari ini saya terpanggil pulak nak bercerita kisah wanita dan semalu...Semalu adalah sejenis tunbuh-tumbuhan yang apabila dipegang ia akan menguncup dengan sendirinya (seperti pemalu lagaknya). Saya ada menerima satu e-mail yang amat menarik berkenaan topik ini. .. tidak perlu saya menyalin segala yang ada di dalam emel tersebut. .. Namun Jutaan terima kasih saya ucapkan kepada rakan yang menghantar emel tersebut, kerana ia memberi peringatan mendalam jauh di dalam jiwa sanubari saya..
Di dalam emel tersebut, terselit satu kisah yang mana Rasullullah S.A.W dan puteri baginda, Saidatina Fatimah r.a berjalan-jalan bersama. Setibanya mereka berdua di bawah sebatang pohon tamar, Fatimah terpijak pohon semalu, kakinya berdarah lalu mengadu kesakitan. Fatimah mengatakan kepada bapanya apalah gunanya pohon semalu itu berada di situ dengan nada yang sedikit marah. Rasulullah dengan tenang berkata kepada puteri kesayangannya itu bahawasanya pohon semalu itu amat berkait rapat dengan wanita. Fatimah terkejut. Rasulullah menyambung kata-katanya lagi;
Para wanita hendaklah mengambil pengajaran daripada pohon semalu ini dari 4 aspek.
Pertama, pohon semalu akan kuncup apabila disentuh. Ini boleh diibaratkan bahawa wanita perlu mempunyai perasaan malu (pada tempatnya).
Kedua, semalu mempunyai duri yang tajam untuk mempertahankan dirinya. Oleh itu, wanita perlu tahu mempertahankan diri dan maruah sebagai seorang wanita muslim.
Ketiga, semalu juga mempunyai akar tunjang yang sangat kuat dan mencengkam bumi. Ini bermakna wanita solehah hendaklah mempunyai keterikatan yang sangat kuat dengan Allah Rabbul Alamin.
Dan akhir sekali, semalu akan kuncup dengan sendirinya apabila senja menjelang. Oleh itu, para wanita sekalian, kembalilah ke rumahmu apabila waktu semakin senja.
Terasa kerdil sekali bila saya melihat ke diri sendiri..terasa sangat jauh saya dengan garisan yang dilunaskan oleh Islam terhadap diri saya yang bergelar wanita. Saya tidak mahu melihat kepada wanita-wanita lain kerana saya sendiri bukan berada di tempat yang sepatutnya. Saya tertanya-tanya, masih adakah lagi wanita-wanita di dalam dunia serba moden ini, yang mengaku manusia bertamadun yang masih mengekalkan sifat-sifat pohon semalu? Saya tidak ada jawapannya, tetapi jawapan kepada soalan itu sebenarnya memang tidak penting...sekurang-kurangnya tidak sebelum saya berada pada tahap itu....

Holiday Part I - The Next Destinations!
Holiday, holiday, holiday.... that is what me and better half had been discussing about lately. Our 2005's holiday trip! The planning has to start from now since we are planning to go on early April (for nice whether, enough collection, at least!). Where to go huh? Hmmm....and the responsibility to find the destination is on me!
Local vs. Abroad
Emmpphh...can we follow one of our lifetime dream? Over-sea trip! Maybe yes, but I guess the far we can go is... Indonesia! (Monetary factor lah) and I think, later lahh...this time maybe I will pick local destination. Okay, at least one thing has been decided. Yeah!!

Motivation
Yesterday I went to training and at the end of the training session, semua orang berdiri and guess what we were doing? WE WERE SINGING!! A very beautiful, meaningful and wonderful song, 'when u believe' by mariah carey ... rasa meremang bulu roma bila everybody in the room were throwing their voices...suddenly my spirit was going so high! See? If you have no one to motivate u...a song can do it. .. please have a look at the lyrics!...
Many nights we prayed With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hope for a song We barely understood
Now we are not afraid Although we know theres much to fear
We were moving mountains Long before we knew we could whoa yes
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
Its hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe somehow you will
You will when you believe
In this time of fear When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seems like the summer bird Too swiftly flown away
Yet now Im standing here My hearts so full, I cant explain
Seeking faith and speakin words
I never thought Id say
They don't always happen when you ask
And its easy to give in to your fears
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see the way, get through the rain
A small but still, resilient voice
Says hope is very near
