I find this Anuar Zain's song interesting. Ironic really. But anyone who has experienced falling in love is guilty of it.
besar cintaku tak berubah.
walau kini rasa itu luluhkan hatimu.
ku hanya milikmu.
meski kau tinggalkan.
masih ku milikmu.
(it goes on...bla..bla..)
cinta ini takkan pernah pudar.
selain untukmu.
In time, many of us would look back and can't help but to smile. Amused.
Bodo? Very. Oh well, it was a bitter-sweet feeling.
Ironic, yes?

Sayyidina Muhammad
His house was but a hut with walls of unbaked clay and a thatched roof of palm leaves covered by camel skin. He had separate apartments for his wives, a small room for each made of similar materials. His own apartment contained a rope cot, a pillow stuffed with palm leaves , the skin of some animal spread on the floor and a water bag of leather and some weapons. These were all his earthly belongings, besides a camel, a horse, and an ass and some land which he had aquired in the later part of his life (Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud). Once a few of his disciples, noticing the imprint of his mattress on his body, wished to give him a softer bed but he politely declined the offer saying,
"What have I to do with worldly things. My connection with the world is like that of a traveler resting for a while underneath the shade of a tree and then moving on."
Amr Ibn Al-Harith, a brother in law of the prophet (pbuh), says that when the prophet died, he did not leave a cent, a slave man or woman, or any property except his white mule, his weapons and a piece of land which he had dedicated for the good of the community (Bukhari, Sahih Bukhari).
He advised the people to live simple lives and himself practised great austerities. Even when he had become the virtual king of arabia, he lived an austere life bordering on privation. His wife Aiysha (ra) says that there was hardly a day in his life when he had two square meals (Muslim, Sahih Muslim, Vol.2, pg 198). When he died there was nothing in his house except a few seeds of barley left from a mound of the grain obtained from a Jew by pawning his armour (Bukhari, Sahih Bukhari, Chapter "Aljihad").

Having free time does this to me. It gets me thinking. About....things. Life. Family. Friends. Career. And at this very moment, im still thinking. "Thinking Aloud". Haf you ever heard of that? It's one of the effective ways to know your students. Let them write/speak about anything and everything.
Thinking usually lead me to questions. Sometimes you have questions that you so badly need answers that you wished there's a booklet of answers like those assessment books that comes with answer keys. But of course, you're suppose to figure it out yourself. Now, this is where I realized how beautiful Islam has painted its lines of guidance.
The Prophet (s.a.w) said:
"I am leaving with you two things, and
you will never go astray so long as you adhere to them:
the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger"
I spoke to my good friend yesterday. Little that I know, our conversation led me to answers. They were there all along. I was just too blind to see. All it takes is F.A.I.T.H.
"..In Him have I placed my trust, for He is the Sustainer, in awesome almightiness enthroned."
- Surah At-Taubah :129
