You're Not The Sun & The World Doesn't Revolve Around You..


Most relationship die not from natural causes. They are killed by ego, selfishness, neglect, lies, lack of consideration & ignorance.

The irony of those who are so very selfish in so many ways but is strangely 'unselfish' when they aim for things that only bring transient happiness of this world instead of aiming for eternal joy & bliss of the hereafter.

They don't consider how their decisions affect others. Their own convenience is all that matters. They care only about themselves, understand only their own troubles & see things only in their own perspective. Even when they realize they're wrong, they don't bother to seek forgiveness or show regrets. They get agitated, mad & defensive about certain topics they know they're completely guilty of, by playing the role of the victim. They usually find someone to be their mutual enemy when they don't want to take responsibility for themselves because it's easier putting blames on others in order to avoid taking sole responsibility.

The saying goes, "If you hang out with a brood of chickens, you're going to cluck your way digging dirt thru out your life. But if you hang out with a soar of eagles, you're going to fly your way thru the sky.."

Truth is.. Refusing to acknowledge their own mistakes only reveal their wimpiness, callousness & untrustworthiness.

To solve a problem, one has to recognize their share of responsibility. If one keeps avoiding & blaming others, issues will never be resolved.

One can avoid reality but one can never avoid the consequences of avoiding reality. At the end of the day, we all answer to the same Creator. Kifarah is real. What you give, you'll get back; if not in this world, it will be in the hereafter.

On another note, some parents wonder why the streams are so bitter when they themselves have been poisoning the fountain in the first place.. Oh wells..

My two pennies worth..

Strength I Thought I Never Had..


I know I'm on the right path because since a child, things have not always been easy for me.

Still, no matter the circumstances I'm in, I am always thankful that He prioritizes me with life's lessons & tests.

Anything in life worth having is not going to be easy. If it comes easy, one may not learn how to appreciate and value it.

Forever in His debt..

Manusia Pemakan Bangkai..


Seorang Sheikh ditanya, "Ada seorang yang rajin solat malam & melakukan banyak amal ketaatan, tapi sayangnya ia banyak GHIBAH (menggunjing orang).."

Sheikh menjawab, "Mungkin Allah menjadikannya beramal untuk diberikan pahalanya kepada orang lain.."

"Dan janganlah kalian menggunjing satu dengan yang lain. Apakah salah seorang dari kalian senang apabila dia memakan daging saudaranya yang telah mati, maka tentunya kalian membencinya.." - QS 49:12

When you are aware people have been spying & backbiting about you (& your family) & it pisses you off. But the moment you realise that it's Allah's way of giving you (& your family) a shortcut ticket to Jannah by means of free "pahala", you put up a long smile & say الحمد لله. 😌

If It's Important, You'll Find A Way.. If Not, You'll Find Excuses..



An article which I know most of us can relate to..

I do feel her adik angkat's pain.. Rasa mcm kene "bastard" & being taken advantage of. Why do I say this? Sebab adik among older siblings paling kecik, so-called tak berani nak bersuara, diam je, telan je.. Paling kecik so senang kene "pijak-pijak".. 

There's a saying, "A mother can take care of 10 sons, but sometimes 10 sons can not take care of 1 mother.."

It's not about how one treats the elderly superficially in front of everyone's existence, it's what happens behind the scene that matters.

At the end of the day, it is Allah who sees your true intention & what is conceal within that heart of yours..

If it's important & takes up a part of our responsibility, we will try our best to find a way. But if it doesn't, we always find excuses.

Life always have a choice. It's whether we wanna do it, or we don't..

Facts of life.

I Trust Actions, I Don't Trust Words..


🌹..الحمد لله على كل حال

Most people will talk the talk but only a few have the courage & strength to walk the talk.

In the end, it's not about the talk but the walk that matters.

Those with good intentions make promises while those with good character keep them.

Always observe people by their actions not their words..

You Will Definitely Fall The Moment You Are In My Shoes..


You never really understand someone until you perceive things from their point of view; until you climb in their skin & walk around in it..

So try walking in their shoes..

Walk the life they're living, the path they've travelled, their sorrow, doubts & their pain..

If you reach as far as they did, only then will you be able to realise how strong they really are compared to yourself.

Till then, you aren't qualified to judge nor have an opinion about their lives.

When You Give Your Kids Too Much Face..


This is what's gonna happen if one keeps spoonfeeding & sponsoring their child too much.

Ada sampai nak tunang, nikah & sanding pon mak bapak maseh sponsor.

When you get old & there's nothing left in you to give anymore, all that you're left with is yourself.

Marriage Life Isn't Always Perfect..


Underneath those eyes & smile, lies a story that only both of them & a few others understand..

16 years & counting.. [March 18th 2006 ~ 2022]

Just A Bunch Of Parasites On My Mind..


Stuck in a generation full of greedy, selfish, lying, cheating, irresponsible, materialisitic, fake-ism.

Those who reject the responsibility of thought & reason can only exist as parasites on the minds of others.

Not arguing. Just stating facts.

Expect The Bullshit, But Never Accept It..


Menilai orang baik bukan dari ilmu agamanya kerana banyak orang ahli agama yang terus menerus menyebut nama Tuhan, tapi dengan sesama manusia berdusta, menipu & ghibah.

Respect is earned.. Loyalty is returned..


Yang penting selama 40 tahun hidup sebagai seorang kakak & anak paling tua, aku tidak pernah mengambil kesempatan terhadap adik-adik aku.

Where I came from, I wasn't brought up that way & biarlah ia kekal begitu sampai akhir hayat ku. Ameen.

The eldest in the family (be it sons or daughters) should set a good example for their siblings in every situation.

But sadly nowadays, not many are able to display this.

Difference Between The Black & The White Sheep..


Most of the time, the Black Sheep of the family is the only one who has the guts to speak the truth.

One thing I learned about being the Black Sheep is that the White Sheep are great manipulative liars & they aren't as white as they seem to be..

The World Doesn't Revolve Around You..


People who only care about themselves, their own troubles, their everyday issues & see things only in their own perspective.

If it's important, they'll find a way. If not, they'll keep giving excuses.

Cogitation..


We can only bottle it all up till one day, that bottle crack open & what we tried to hold in for so long, will eventually explode into a sea of raging fire..

The Narcissistic Family Tree..


This is so true..

And from where I see it, usually it's the ones favoured & seen as the golden child/inlaw who will never be there for their parents/inlaw; pushing the duties & responsibilities away.

Often those who are the scapegoats & the least favored who will be there for them in the face of difficult times.

Yet they never realise & appreciate..

I Prefer Animals Over Most Humans..


I prefer to be in the company of animals than most humans becoz it's obvious that there are more peaceful animals than people in this world we live in.

Animals are created "as it is". They don't know the meaning of lying, giving excuses, betraying, backstabbing; not even living a life filled with hypocrisy as they only feel & understand emotions.

We humans are the ones messing ourselves up, giving each other a reason to hold grudges & hate, then blame one another for the problems we ourselves create.

I'm No Willy Wonka..


I'm no WILLY WONKA, I'm LILY BAKAR, not BAKER; my mouth is not a BAKERY.

I don't sugarcoat stuff, pretend to like & accept everything you do & then later on find ways & excuses to get rid of you & let you be.

Unlike some, I wasn't brought up that way.

Alhamdulillah, For Blessing Me With Such Good Children..


My eldest & my middle.. My littlest one no need to say lah; always wanna menyelit with Ummi & Baba. 🤭

It's my eldest & my middle that I wanna post about.. 🙃

Though we live in a 4rm HDB apartment (3 rooms + 1 common area which consists of living room, dining area & kitchen), both have been sharing the same bedroom even before they reach puberty; eversince kindergarten.

As a parent, I understand at times, with their current age, they need the privacy coz both are reaching the stage of becoming young adults. At times it could be quite frustrating for them not to be able to get separate rooms for themselves. The fact that 1 is aging into a young man while the other into a young lady. Things would be easier if both born of the same gender.

However, the situation that we're facing doesn't give them the freedom of access to that. And again, as a parent, I understand how it feels like to be waking up in the early morning, gotta wait for each other's turn in getting ready for school or for an occasion or just to unwind in their own thoughts alone in the room after a tiring day.

Yes, it seems unfair to them. Come to think of it, it seems unfair to us as well but I always remind them that for a child their age, their feelings, mentality & how they think of 'others first before their own', surpass those much older than them. They are willing to sacrifice what others are not able to commit in a long run, well maybe even till they graduate from school & each have a boyfriend or girlfriend of their own. By then, even my littlest won't be that small anymore to menyelit with his Ummi & Baba. 

I am proud to say that I am blessed to have them as my children & even though at times, it pisses & breaks me inside having to swallow the things that are beyond our control, I am glad my children are able to accept & understand that.

Given the situation they are facing, not many will be able to do what they do, willingly. Whatever that is happening around them, may they see & learn from it. Most importantly, may they all be a better version of us..

They may not be able to see the blessings bestowed upon them for their sacrifices, InshaAllah in time to come, they will.. ❤

Salam Jumuah Mubarakah.. 🌹


What separates us from them & others?

We are just ordinary individuals who have developed belief in ourselves & in what we do. We keep telling ourselves that we are not better than them & others, but instead, we are just different than them & others in a way that is better.

This is what separates us from them & others. This is what makes us successful in the sight of Allah & it does not even require the brightest of intellect to grasp this.

My penny worth of thought..

Every Child Is Gifted & Unique..


Never compare my children to others even if you think others are better at it.

You may say it positively that "Child A works as a doctor while Child B works as an engineer or Child C is bright while Child D is good-looking", but all my children will remember is how incapable they are at it.

Praise my children for who they are. Stop this typical culture of comparing, competing & thinking that everything they do is never enough.

Every child is unique. Why compare one against another?

You don't hear them comparing how "fat or thin, selfish or well-mannered, dumb or clever, pretty or ugly" you are with others your age.

For We Are What We Make Of Ourselves..


Everyday, I keep telling myself..

• That today's gonna be better than yesterday.
• To smile even for the littlest gust of wind blown on my face.
• Never dwell on certain things & always hope for the best in everything.

Becoz lifting one's self up has to start from within. One can have a thousand or even million friends out there who can be so kind enough to give words of encouragement & moral support. But if nothing starts from within, one will still feel empty as a whole.

The heart though very fragile, it needs to be strong; though delicate, it must stay resilient.

For we are what we make of ourselves..🌹
