notes

first of all...*lap2 sikit habuk2 kat blog ni*
nasib baik belum bersawang ya... he he

life has been doing normal, if it's not extra taxing at times
yet that is pretty normal too
running a private Ministry of Home Affair aint small job i telllll cha
the other day, on my wall at fb, a fren mentioned about being a housewife
about how she wished that she could retire her job for being at home fulltime
(guess what, i used to have that kinda escapism day dream most of time, especially when boss keeps bossing around or not-a-boss keeps bugging for nonsense)

i totally understand her feeling
i almost wanted to comment : yup! listen to ur heart! follow your dream
yet i wrote : be careful of what u wish...unless if u have a very good helper, a very handsome driver, and a wealthy generous husband. otherwise being a fulltime housewife is very tiring, but very very satisfying.

i really meant that.

of cos ones couldn't (or almost impossible) to live in her every dream, but we can make it somewhat closer.

i know a wife who is doing very well with her high-paid job, catching up planes for business trip, leaving behind her family for most of time, exhausting her waking hours for datelines.
i'm sure she's doing that for reasons, but maybe not fun.

i know another wife who dedicates her days and nites for her family. a big number of them. managing all without a helper tho i think she deserves one. but she carries it all from time to time.
i'm sure she's doing that for reasons, and maybe she finds some fun.

and i also know another wife, who i think she's not quite sure what she really wants. or maybe if she does, she seems not leading to the correct path.

i think, life offers some highways and junctions. it's never too late to change lane or u-turn, whenever if necessary.

somehow this entry reminds me of today's kuliah dhuha i attended. (i'm going to make a new label, of lecture notes for my future reference)

Dari Ibnu Umar radhiallahu 'anhuma, katanya : "Saya mendengar Rasulullah saw bersabda:
"Semua orang dari engkau sekalian itu adalah penggembala dan semuanya saja akan ditanya tentang penggembalaannya. Seorang imam-pemimpin-adalah penggembala dan akan ditanya tentang penggembalaannya. Seorang lelaki adalah penggembala dalam keluarganya dan akan ditanya tentang penggembalaannya, seorang isteri adalah penggembala di rumah suaminya dan akan ditanya tentang penggembalaannya. Seorang khadam/pekerja juga penggembala dalam harta tuannya dan akan ditanya tentang penggembalaannya. Maka semua orang dari engkau sekalian itu adalah penggembala dan akan ditanya tentang penggembalaannya" (Muttafaq 'alaih)
