in-betweens

"saya kenyang"

Picture above is the epitome of normal, post breaking-a-fast condition.


The in-betweens :

You go clubbing, wear sexy clothes, but never missed the 5-times a day prayer.
You wear tudung with short sleeves.
You are metrosexual but love getting all dirty doing adventure racings and mountain climbing.
You wear tudung and you are in a band.
You are having sex before marriage but you don't eat pork.
You are wearing tudung but you love performing on stage.
You aren't fasting, you don't pray, but you got all boiled up by the murtad cases
You are wearing tudung but you smoke.

It's like NESLO, not a MILO, neither a NESCAFE. No wait, it's both MILO and NESCAFE.
Some people look at it as a confusion. I look at it as personal preferences.
Some like only MILO, some prefer the original taste of NESCAFE, no add-ons.
Some look at it as the perfect combination, like, being moderate, wasatiah.

People tend to chastise these in-betweens.
Like they are good, but never good enough.

Contoh mudah : Saya tidak hebat berbahasa Melayu tetapi bahasa Inggeris saya juga tidak sehebat mana, apatah lagi bahasa Arab saya. Jika saya hebat, masih ada yang lebih hebat, seperti juga ada yang lebih teruk. Oleh itu, apakah yang harus saya rasa? Hebat, atau sebaliknya? Selain itu, adakah saya patut dikecam?!

Contoh lebih mudah : Saya solat tak tinggal. Saya baca Quran setiap hari, tetapi saya suka tengok perempuan seksi dan kurang gemar perempuan bertudung. Adakah saya jahat atau baik, jahil atau alim?!

In the end, it's about doing the right thing, is it?!
Right or wrong, who are we to judge. Right or wrong takes a lifetime of learning.
Nevertheless, no matter what you do, how you dressed up, it's the way you treat people that counts the most.
At least to me.
You just can't fake kindness.

Study-wise, this semester is by far the suckiest semester, ever.
Had to sit for exams on freaking Sundays, had the second shittiest lecturer teaching one of the easiest core subjects making it being one of the hardest to score, having exams delayed or cancelled only few minutes before the starting time and to top it all, final exams will be right after the eid mubarak's holiday.

Fuckadoodadeyyy.

Plus, like zerr, I just got ripped off for being a helluve stupid consumer. Unlike her rm10, it's my freaking rm25. PASAR MALAM PULAK TU, BOLEH TAKKKKK!?!!

Nota tambahan:
Kadang-kadang perempuan hanya ingin dipujuk.
Kadang-kadang perempuan hanya ingin diberi bunga.
Kadang-kadang perempuan hanya inginkan perhatian.
Kadang-kadang sahaja tapi, bukan banyak-banyak.

"Rilek ah".
"Lek lek pertama komplek la.. "
(adaptasi daripada filem REMP-IT)


I'm quoting REMP-IT, oh wow!!

Happy fasting, what's left of it.

For me, my in-betweens are my own flaws and I honestly view those as being not okay, religious-wise. My ultimate goal is to be on a level where my way of religious adherence is close to perfect i.e. buat segala yang diperintah, jauhi yang dilarang. I'm on my way to that place, but on a slow pace. Hahah!

I'd say, it's not fair for others to judge us by our lifestyle choices. But it's important to realise, from those years of religious/moral values learning, what's right and the opposite. Take sex before marriage for example, if you're talking in religious terms here, obviously it's not right. Thus, the combination of having non-marital sex and abstaining from eating pork is clearly not a perfect one. Some are, though, gray areas. Like being in a band, or smoking.

Again, as you said too, it's not OK for people to judge others by how they live their life. What's important is how your view your own values.

(duh, ni blog entry aku ke??? pjg.. LOL)

in-betweens, religous-wise; it IS quite a complicated thing to be discussed. i dont want to sound too liberal till the point of blasphemy but seriously, it's between us and God, no one can really tell which of who is in His favor or not. who are we to judge and label. tah2 yg melabel tu yg Tuhan benci, cmne?!? and ive seen so many cases where the one whos doin the talking, doenst walk the talk.

for me, i resolve to not TECHNICALLY do those "dosa dosa besar", the obvious ones like melawan cakap ibu bapa, arak, & sex, i'Allah. i know it's not enough. it's a learning process and i think the guideline, it works for me. but doenst mean it'd work for everyone else. doesn't mean i'm better than anyone or vce versa, religous-wise.

non-religous-wise, its a free country. if u think too much u'd end up no where. rezeki masing2, buat je la kan, pedulik kata org.

i think i am just bitter. society in general is drawing the lines between right and wrong, in such ignorant ways. sometimes it weights us down but sooner ud learn to ignore. as long as u know what ur in to. like u sed nadea, its how u view ur own rules.. kudos to that.

i believe in humanity. that's it.
bak kata mar, baik hati. still baik dan jahat, it's subjective.

plus i think the topic is too general, so a bit hard to explain.

My view.. xkira kita alim ke wara' ke.. jahat ke keji ke seksi ke.. semua perkara tu adalah pilihan yg kita sendiri buat..

i admit.. i like to do the right thing.. but somehow..ada gak tersalah haluan.. so? solution nye mudah je.. selagi ajal belum menjemput.. kita xkan tahu apakah pengakhiran hidup kita.. apa yg penting.. kita perlu senantiasa menunjuk true intention towards Allah forgiveness.. Syurga itu mahal.. terpulang pada kita.. kalau kita betul2 nak ganjaran yg mahal.. tunjukkan intention kita.. kalau xnak..rugilah kita...namun ia terpulang pada Allah nak putuskan mcm mana.. xde siapa dlm dunia ni yg layak pada syurga itu sbnrnya.. selagi mana Allah belum putuskan mcm mana... bertudung..xbertudung..ustaz..rempit..kita xlayak nak ngaku sapa layak.. yg dah terlajak still ada peluang..yg terlalu ekstrem pun still ada peluang..

yg penting usaha lah sungguh2..jawaban nya roh kita yg tahu akhirnya nanti mcm mana...cheers...
