My Dentist Story

I had bad experience going to dentist,

when I was a little kid.

Last week, I had to see the dentist

because of my jaw problem and also

my teeth got some black stains after I consumed sugar

and it was very worrying.

While waiting for the dentist to call me in,

I was so worried.

I checked my number every time,

was it my turn yet?

Long story short, it was my turn.

I got on to the chair,

the doctor checked my teeth, they were all 'sound' lol.

Pardon me, I ain't a dentist.

I informed the dentist about the black stain

and the jaw.

Then, the conversation started.

The dentist graduated from a university in Egypt

and she knew my seniors from SSP.

Jaw problem's normal especially when

someone's stressed out.

I used to be stressful when I had exam etc,

but not now haha!

Aiyo so I still couldn't eat while having my mouth wide opened.

Okay, overall...

I had a good experience this time at the dentist.

The Intelligent Heart, The Pure Heart | Book Review

I am in love with this book,

the words really touch my heart.

So,

I guess I should share with all of you 

the concluding remarks of the book :)

Human beings are comprised of

body and soul.

The body represents the terrestrial aspect of humans

whereas the soul is the celestial aspect.

The point where the two meet

is the human heart.

In other words,

the heart acts as a window 

between the earthly and the heavenly.

In Islam,

the heart has always been regarded 

as an organ of intelligence, 

capable of understanding.

In order to achieve 

salvation in the Hereafter,

the heart must be purified

from spiritual blemishes.

According to the Islamic approach,

the mind and heart,

body and soul all work in unison,

not independently of each other.

This book has emphasised 

the importance of the science of tazkiyyah,

the purification of the heart,

in this age of materialism 

where the emphasis is on the brain.

In order to be complete

as human beings,

we must recognise and accept 

the importance of the heart's wisdom

together with the intellect of the brain.

When we trivialise the role and function

of the heart in our lives,

then we end up with a very 

limited view of the world

as if we have only one eye.

However,

when our heart and brain waves

act in synchrony,

our thoughts become more focused and rational.

We need to have 

our hearts and brains in order,

because that is the balance of batin and zahir.

Finally,

we need to always remember

the words of the Prophet Muhammad SAW:

Indeed, there is in the body a piece of flesh

which it is sound then the whole body is sound,

and if it is corrupt then the whole body is corrupt.

Indeed, it is the heart.

(Bukhari and Muslim)

What I did last Raya

Cornflakes Madu :')

I've been eating honey cornflakes made that my dear friend,
Alya Farah brought to SSP.
Her mom always cooked extra for me <3

Since I left SSP,
I never had them anymore!

So last year, I tried to make honey cornflakes
and they turned out to be brown
instead of golden, bitter instead of sweet
and hard instead of crunchy :')

#sadlyfe

I think I have to do some baking for this raya,
but really, I don't even have the mood :(
