It’s in the shoes
Today, on my way from the parking lot at Kebajikan to the track, the bottom of my left shoe peeled off. They’re actually my sister’s shoes. We’ve been wearing the same shoes (not at the same time - duh~) until some time last year when I bought for the both of us sport shoes as we are now in the country at the same time (she finished her studies last year).
My pair aren’t that great. I hurt my legs easily running in them, so I went back to wearing our shared shoes. Of course they get worn out in time. They just had to choose today. But I wasn’t giving up. Went to the mall nearby to buy a new pair of running shoes. They’re not as great as our shared shoes. My legs felt heavy when running. I only got to do 2.19KM.
It got me thinking. It’s all in the shoes!
But I didn’t get any calf cramps so there’s actually one positive thing about them.
Till my next run/jog.
Bye-bye, shoes.
After a week of absence
I didn’t jog at all last week. Last two weeks I did have a good run and I believe it was more than my previous record but I was quite careless, I didn’t realise that I forgot to hit the record button.
Jogged just now and didn’t manage to cover more than my last jog, but look at my average speed! It increased. No wonder I felt like I ran faster. =D
See you again tomorrow, insya Allah.

Certainly Allah knows what they hide and what they disclose; indeed He does not like the proud.
Quran: 16:23
The sinking of the British passenger ship Titanic, 100 years ago, was one of the greatest tragedies of history. The splendor of the vessel’s luxury knew no equal. With its sixteen watertight compartments, the ship was believed to be unsinkable even if two of those compartments flooded. The designer himself boasted, “not even God could sink the Titanic.”
On a much celebrated morning in April 1912, the Titanic set off from Southampton, England on its maiden voyage across the North Atlantic headed for New York harbor. At about 11:40 p.m. on April 14th, somewhere in the North Atlantic, she collided with a “small” iceberg that was believed to have torn a huge gash in the ship’s hull. About 2 ½ hours later, Titanic broke in two and plunged to its watery grave 12,500 feet below the surface, taking over 1500 passengers with her. The ship that “not even God could sink” was history. After the wreckage was discovered in 1985 and no gash was found, scientists concluded that the ship’s steel became brittle in the frigid water and fractured on impact. There is also reason to believe that in spite of warnings, the ship was travelling too fast for an area known to contain icebergs.

River of thoughts
Lately I strongly feel the preference of being alone than in the company of anyone. It gives me the opportunity to understand where I really stand in this world - in life. I know, up to that extent, huh?
I also feel lately, I’m becoming illiterate due to the lack of reading. Yeah, reading makes a huge difference. I know that since I was in form 2. It doesn’t matter what you read. You can feel the difference within yourself. So I rummaged through Facebook and searched for pages that offer good, interesting and beneficial reads. Not only that, but also from my shelves! I found out from one of the Mufti’s talks about the Hadith. How this one qaum kept reading the Hadith every night apart from the Quran. I was saddened by the realisation that I have a complete volume of Sahih Muslim but never once had I opened them.
Some may think, what’s the point of reading irrelevant materials? Irrelevant to what you do. I teach Arabic language to beginners (10-year-old pupils). Surely, you can’t apply Hadith and whatnot to these kids. To this, I can’t give the answer. I can only advise, think.
On a different note, I see some people that I can’t quite figure out. They have this ‘to-hell-with-what-people-think’ attitude when it comes to their attitude or behaviour. “This is who I am. This is how I think. This is how I dress. I don’t wanna pretend and dress up nicely just to impress people. That’s hypocritical. Accept me for who I am.”
If they really don’t care about what people think of how they dress, then why at the same time, they’ll be like, “does this look good on me? Does the colour go with my skin? Does this make me look like poklen?”
Hey, to hell with what people think, right? What, no? You mind?
Well, that’s hypocritical right there, I think.
Don’t get me wrong. I used to think that way too. We’ve all acted like, “mulut orang. ketani inda dapat tutup. yang penting orang-orangnya tau. peduli apa orang lain fikir.”
As time passed, I realised that it was wrong to think that way. It’s true that it’s up to people to think whatever they want. But what makes them think that way in the first place? They can’t just wake up one day, and begin to think this or that way about us. There has to be reasons and proofs that lead them to these thoughts.
If they think badly of us, then it’s not their fault. It’s ours! We’ve led them to think that way about us. It must be from the way we behave, attitude, dressing up or from what we say.
If we wanna create a positive environment, we have to start from ourselves. We can’t expect people to start first, then you follow suit. “If they’re not doing it, then I’m not doing it.” I read this saying somewhere, “Jaga hati, jangan berburuk sangka. Jaga sikap, jangan membuat orang lain berburuk sangka.”
- So don’t create anything negative that may lead people to think badly of you.
- If you do see something negative, be positive. Be as positive as possible about it.
What’s amazing is this saying doesn’t highlight people’s faults. It focuses only on you to fix the situation. This shows that some problems CAN be solved by you alone. Even if you know the problem is caused by another party, there’s no need to point fingers at them. I guess my point is, to be the bigger person?
Happy Sunday. Happy Family Day.
The good thing about the app My Tracks on my phone, is that I can strive to be better than my last jog. I can really keep track. I reached 3km today. I think I’ve done longer at the HB stadium. This was nonstop jogging.
Hopefully tomorrow, I’ll do better.
