Jobless as a choice




Yesterday, a friend told me that my posting will only start in mid-August or early September. That means I have another month of being jobless.

Well, it is not that bad (depends on the situation). As for my current state, it is much of a choice and it’s a way of paying respect to my parents’ option because they insisted that I stay at home. And as a reward for staying at home, watching TV whenever I want, do anything I want inside of the house and keeping the house clean, I am given pocket money and every of my request is granted! (that’s not that bad, isn’t it?)

There was also a time when I feel I a little tense for being left at home, while others go out to work. Right after 8.30 a.m, it would be just be me and the silent house, and I have to wait till 3 p.m or perhaps 5 p.m before meeting them (my family members) again. Me? At home? (not that bad..) EVERYDAY? (this is bad).

Not that I have never looked for a job, but many seems ‘unagreeable’ with my condition. For instance, I applied for a job as a florist (with the hope that I can gain new skills while working). The salary that the boss offered was RM800 (honestly, I don’t really mind about the payment) and the working hour is from 9 a.m to 9 p.m (not a problem either because it’s just 5 minutes from home). The problem arises when I started asking about breaks for my prayers, which from the working hours would cover Zuhur, Asar and Maghrib (as for Isya’, I can just perform it at home).

To cut the story short, my choice of that day was between working for 12 hours with the payment of RM800 and my prayers. Well, I pushed the offer aside and chose my prayers. Though I was so keen on working and meeting others, but prayers are not to bargain to me. Prayers are my pillars to my faith and I wouldn’t want to barter them for ‘worldly items’. Thus, being jobless for the time being is my choice.

I think I shouldn’t use the word “jobless”. It’s not that nobody is going to hire me, I’m just having a break before my real career starts. Hmm..if there is ever a work that suits my interest and stance, I would go for it. =)

Mahrams

Salam and Hi This would be my first entry for 2012. Alhamdulillah, manage to find a topic which intrigue me to write a post :P When Islam was revealed to the Prophet pbuh, many rejected the message brought by him. Islam came as a religion which guides everyone in all aspects of life, from worshiping God to the ways we sleep (the adab of sleeping). What makes it more interesting is that it teaches us about the relationship between men and women too. In Islam, there are boundaries between the men and women and as to set the line, the relationship falls into two categories which are: 1. Mahrams 2. Ghayr Mahrams There are various books and sites that could help us to understand further on this topic but here is a link that, InshaAllah, could enlighten us too.   CLICK HERE Other than that, below is a diagram in Malay language which is very helpful in making us to understand the relationship between men and women.

Bila nak kawen?

"Bila nak kawen?" "Bila nak kenduri?" These are the regular questions for me lately. ------------ The above 3 lines were written back in Sept 2015. How time flies. Its May 2018. Single. The questions remain the same. However, through out time people have learnt that jodoh, ajal-maut and rezeki are secrets that only Allah knows. Pray. Pray harder. Note: Back tapping my keyboard. Hello world!
