We Once Were One: A Story Of Classmate




WE ONCE WERE ONE
The day that we first met,
in my mind I still see,
you sitting in the class room, looking for some company.
I alone myself, sat down with you that day,
neither of us knowing what the hell to say.
But we got through the awkward times, and quickly came to be,
the best of friends to eachother, we could ever be.
The closer we grew, the more we left, the other world behind,
just me and you we jumped into a new place totally blind.
We prayed together our friendship forever, and always would stay the same,
but time has passed, only memories last, and little friendship remains.
WE ONCE WERE ONE! I screamed at you, I want my best friend back!
But we both realized at once it was that bond we lacked.
You think it doesn't hurt me, to see us back to two,
looking to my left and right to see there is no you.
But we both are moving on now, lets do it gracefully,
I hope our friendship still lives on in you memory.

I found this friendship poetry just now. I was so into it. It really touched me at the bottom of my heart. It reminds me of a school-friend of mine (it was... once). There were three of us. We were classmates Whenever and wherever, we are meant to be together. No matter where we go (to the cafeteria, laboratory, school-office, library, classes and etc.), we always go together. And some called us as "Three Musketeers".
But, this one (one of us)... I knew him before, he was such a pleasant guy. He cared for others. He cared for me. And every time when I was in trouble, he would not just ask what is the problem. Besides, he will think up something appropriate, and will do it for me. Oh, how great to have a friend like him, right? We always did online chatting with each other. We shared things and many more. But, unfortunately that was once. (ە˘_˘ە)

Nowadays, I found out that he no longer cares about me. I see that he no longer wants to be friend of mine. And as for my observation, he is such a choosy in friendship. He no longer contacts me. No longer text-messages me. I think, he has forgot me, for sure. I don't know if I got this wrong, maybe this only my self-side feeling. But, that was what I observed.

I am really sad with what had happened. But I will never forget him though. I never regret that I was once had a friend like him. He as a friendship will always stay in my memory. And I think, he is no longer my friend. He is only my ex-classmate. Whatever happened, I always hope that he will always happy/have fun/have a nice day in his life. And, I hope he will always success in pursuing his dreams. Plus, I will never forget his good offices. So long...

Tragedy: 14th of May 2011

Salam. On 14th of May 2011, I was planning to try to bake a cake, myself. So, I had looked up on the internet, to find a recipe. I had decided to try Lemon Cake, by Gia da, one of t he famous chef celebrities. I had printed the recipe. But, in this house... there were no much of th e ingredients needed. So, I had to go the nearest grocery shop. Unfortunately, no ingredients which are needed sold there. I had to find it somewhere else. While on my way to the second grocery shop, I was riding a scooter. There was a bus which suddenly overtook me. I was really surprised, and braked with sudden without noticing sands on the road. I'd lost control of my scooter, and fell down. I broke my hand, and there were so many wounds all over my body. Luckily, my helmet were not took off. So, no head injury. Alhamdulillah. I was brought to the hospital for treatment by an ambulance. I was diagnosed closed distal end left radius and closed fracture left ulnar styloid. Cast was applied for 3 wee...

When Hospitality Fails the Basics: A Guest’s Quiet Reflection

What does it take to turn a good stay into a great one?     For many business travellers, the answer isn’t grand lobbies, luxurious bedsheets, or buffet breakfasts. It’s the little things—the seamless service, the small courtesies, and above all, the peace of mind that everything has been thoughtfully handled. But what happens when even the basics fail? Recently, I had the chance to travel for work and stayed at a well-rated hotel, part of a professional arrangement involving multiple rooms. While the setting was promising, my experience reminded me how crucial it is for hospitality providers to walk the talk—especially in an industry that thrives on trust, service, and efficiency. Where It Started: The Missing Essentials: After a long drive and a busy day, all I hoped for was a calm check-in and a room stocked with basic necessities. To my surprise, the room was missing even bottled drinking water. I had to request it—twice. The staff eventually complied, but not without maki...

Perfect, Is It A Compulsion To Counsel Others?

A few months ago, the author talked to one of his acquaintances about advising others. For instance, counseling others regarding solah. Nevertheless, the acquaintance said to the author that if he was in the author's shoes, he would not dare enough to do so because of imperfection. In the author's point of view, lacking does not mean that we can't counsel others towards betterment and virtue. The author asked for opinions from three ustaz. The first opinion from Ustaz Supani, stated: "That wasn't right. We advice others when we see they wrong-do, while when they saw our wrongdoings, they will have to counsel us. That was Prophet's command."   The second opinion from Ustaz Saidi Adnan, stated: "Prophet's hadith stated that we need to counsel others' wrongdoings. This hadith is general and it is not specified to those who are perfect only. If we saw wrongdoings, it will be a necessity to comment with hikmah." The third opini...
