2nd Law of Thermodynamics

Change is inevitable.

It is natural to change. To remain unchanged is against nature. You actually need effort to stay the same. As 2nd Law of Thermodynamics state:

The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of an isolated system never decreases, because isolated systems spontaneously evolve toward thermodynamic equilibrium—the state of maximum entropy. 

The last time I studied chemistry was during A-level. I can barely remember 1st Law of Thermodynamics, and I don't think we studied the second law. If we did, I completely forgot about it.

Entropy has many definitions, for simple minds like yours truly, we can look at entropy as a measure of disorder. The concept of the 2nd law suggests that system naturally progress from order to disorder. This means work or energy is needed to produce an ordered state. You need effort to be in order. To stay the same.

I don't know if my interpretation fits the thermodynamics world, neither do I care, I just think the law somehow proves my point. I'm not here to teach anyway.

My point is, everything changes. You change, I change. And yes, interests and priorities change. Especially with time..and other factors.

Whether it is for the better or worse..we don't and probably won't know.

There is one exception to the rule though: 

The one and only thing stable and constant;

Allah.

Allahumma ballighna Ramadhan.


I'm such in a good mood right now simply because Ramadhan is finally here! I don't want to be cliché but I really have been looking forward to this month especially because I've been distracted by a couple of issues lately.

I'm refocusing on my priorities. On what matters most. I'm easily distracted, so I hope I can get back on track this Ramadhan. Hait! Let's do this!

Of course it's better to be istiqamah when doing good deeds, rather than seasonal. But sometimes we need that accelerator, that enzyme, that extra push to do more. Especially when you are lazy Smak.


:)

To improve, God willing.  

Chillax~

"Chill la. If it is meant to be, it will be. Have faith in His plans."

That was one of my tweets from last month. Regarding what, you may ask. It is obvious, isn't it? Jodoh.

Being more than a quarter of century old now, I've noticed that this has become the most popular topic in my circle of friends. Especially women. 

Jodoh.

Although I sometimes do join the worry wagon just to have some fun, my usual reply would be;

"Kalau ada jodoh, ada lah."

Isn't every single thing we do, everything about us, has been destined from the very moment we were in our mothers' womb? So why the worry? Why, if I may ask, that we stressed ourselves over these matters as if we have the power to determine how things go. 

Admittedly, it is a pretty difficult concept to grasp, this destiny (read: takdir, qada qadar) thing. If I were to elaborate on this, I would probably run out of words (due to my limited vocab, haha). So I won't. This is perhaps for another day. 

I actually just want to share this article on being single that I think makes good sense:

http://www.saudilife.net/marriage/35923-while-you-are-single

Too often we hear singles saying ‘But I want to complete half of my deen!’ and I am always tempted to ask, ‘In what state is the other half?’

Marriage isn't everything.

Kerana aku selalu lupa #15

Say, "Not equal are the evil and the good, although the abundance of evil might impress you." So fear Allah , O you of understanding, that you may be successful.


Katakanlah (wahai Muhammad): "Tidak sama yang buruk dengan yang baik, walaupun banyaknya yang buruk itu menarik hatimu. Oleh itu bertaqwalah kepada Allah wahai orang-orang yang berakal fikiran, supaya kamu berjaya.

Geez, why so difficult?
Best of luck dear self.

Trouble trouble trouble~

Never have a problem kept me awake like this. It's like I'm having my final paper tomorrow. Maybe worse. I just can't sleep. Even when I am, I'm awake. Doesn't make sense? Yeah.

I can't wait to go to work because it will make me forget. At least for a moment. I know I have to deal with this sooner or later.

May Allah show me the way. I can only depend on Him.

Allah knows best.

How to retire rich

I just want to jot down some random thoughts.

Watched the news on tv. Someone named Tan Sri Aishah Ghani, who was actually quite an important person in UMNO just passed away. I did not know who she was till just now. Some of the ministers and evenTun were talking on how great of a loss to the political world now that she's gone. Which got me thinking;

Betullah kata pepatah, "Harimau mati meninggalkan belang, manusia mati meninggalkan nama." Nama. Or deeds. The significance of your existence.. 

• What do I want to be remembered of?

I came across this facebook status, "You are what you do day in day out, what you do once in a while is not you." How true. How very true.

• So, what am I? What have I been doing everyday? 

Admittedly, my daily routines were very mundane. Nothing of great significance, except maybe beneficial only for myself. How trivial. Sigh. 

Anyway, the point of this whole post is not about getting recognitions from other people even after your death, no. Never do things for other people. Wait, this may came across as selfish pulak. What I mean is we should always do things for Allah. Purify our intentions. Which may sound easy, but I find it quite difficult. I am still trying.

From one of Prof Dr Muhaya's tweets today: "Bila kita di kubor yang tinggal hanya amalan. Jom cari pencen kubor iaitu anak yang soleh, ilmu bermanafaat, dan sedekah jariah"

• Anak yang soleh/solehah. One day, if Allah wills. 
• Ilmu yang bermanfaat. This. I don't really like teaching. I often find it difficult to convey what I have in mind to others, and this post is one good example. It's all over the place.
• Sedekah jariah. 

I have issues with delivering messages...I probably will write about this when I have the mood.

This blog has become so boring, I think it's because I'm treating it more like my journal (because I don't have one). But wth, I originally intend to write for myself anyway. However I was a bit surprised when a colleague mentioned that he read my blog. He complained that my writing was tahapahapaentah. See. I am really bad at this.

Oh well.
