Yoga, my way of self-improvement.


National Fatwa Council to make a ruling on yoga - The Star Online

Personally, i'm totally disagree with it. Yoga is not a religion ! Yoga bukan satu kepercayaan smpai boleh memesongkan akidah seseorang. It's a complete form of exercise. The most important benefit of Yoga is, physical and mental therapy. It's not just keep our body flexible, detoxifies and rilex, it's really improve one's breathing system.

I've been practising it about 2 yrs, and the outcomes is obvious. I had asthma, and after all, i can see the difference in my breathing and improving my asthma time by time. Betul tk tipu ! My friends dulu ramai tertanya, Yoga ni betul2 beneficial ke? Tengok movement mcm sume slow motion je. Aha, walaupun kebanyakan movement in yoga pose agak slow, but when it combine with the correct breathing technique, you will see the obvious result. With regular practise of asanas (body position), pranayama (breathing technique), it will improve your flexibility, massage your inner organ, joints and ligaments, tone your muscles, improve respirations problems and lots more. You can read other the benefits of yoga here. (click !)

Yoga diharamkan hanya kerana ia dikatakan bole memesongkan agama. Sgt tk masuk akal. It's just a complete form of exercise and meditation. Jauh sekali dengan kepercayaan mahupun agama.

I have read this one artical in Yoga Life magazine (June-July 2008), it's written,


"Yoga has also been accused of being a “launching point” to export Hinduism. This is very interesting, considering the large numbers of Yoga practitioners who are not Hindus. For fundamentalist Hindus that believe Yoga and Hinduism cannot be separate, sorry to break the news, but it has already happened. Yoga was interpreted in many ways by a variety of cultures and partial facets of Yoga have grown independently. Some Hatha Yoga styles do not even practice meditation.

Yoga students outside India, pick and choose what they want to learn from Yoga. At this time, physical mastery seems to be most popular. This is why Yoga teachers outside India focus primarily on physical health. Many western students think only of Hatha Yoga, when they hear the word “Yoga.”

This is why Yoga cannot really be controlled, regulated, or patented. How do you control people’s thoughts, actions, physical practice, prayers, meditation, or songs? The whole concept of controlling Yoga is ludicrous.

The real problem with Yoga, for the fundamentalist of any religion, is that it can be practiced by anyone from any religion. Yoga is not exclusive: The laws are universal and interchangeable with every religion. This allows a Yoga practitioner to work independently on his or her spiritual health and work toward enlightenment.

What is wrong with working toward the common good? The idea of working toward enlightenment and self-perfection are considered blasphemy to some. However, can you imagine a world where men and women did not try to improve themselves?

The objectives of Yoga are complete heath, self-improvement, self realization, and tranquility. With these benefits acquired any Yoga practitioner can help others and work for the common good."


Kesimpulannya ?

You see, even the Christians said, it's not a religion. Ya, sy tak samakan Islam dgn Christian. Tapi Islam sendiri tk mengharamkan sesuatu yg bagus dan beneficial utk umatnya. Solat dan Yoga, mmg sgt berlainan dari segi niat. Tapi in term of body position, sy tk dpt nafikan, sebenarnya, mmg lebih kurang sama. You can read the artical about it here. Theyogainstructordiaries. Sy sebagai Muslim ada kewajipan yg mmg sy tunaikan spt solat and so on. Yoga doesn't memesongkan my akidah at all. Practising yoga is just to improve my health and self-awareness. So does with other Yoga practitioners. So what's wrong with the Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan tiba-tiba nak mengharamkan Yoga? Saya harap mereka dpt membuat kajian lebih terperinci sebelum membuat apa-apa fatwa. Aih..

You wanna Know? So i tell you.

For the moment of truth.

I am doing okay. Yeah, at least.

I am, yes, still missing someone that burned me up some times ago. Sayang? Mungkin. . Aku bodoh? Biarkan.

I am trying to get rid of everybody. Not because i'm stress. I need my some times alone.

I am depressed. Because of past relationship people around me. Dunia menjadi pentas lakonan semata. Aku? Kau? Kita semua. Tak mengira sesiapa, walau sedara mara kita atau darah daging kita sendiri.

I am lying to you. Yes you. Bukan aku sengaja. Tapi untuk menjaga hati kau jugak. Being too honest? Not anymore. Untuk apa? Jika diri sendiri yang akan makan hati balik.

I am abused. I mean, i was sex emotional abused. My friends asked, "kenapa kau tk nak cari BF skrang?" Answer? BF bukan untuk dicari and i need to build a balanced life for now.

I am okay, . Yeah, again. I am okay. I'm steady. Talk about patience, for yrs, i've been patient enough. Been hurt enough. But here i am, still standing on my own feet. I'm blessed.




So, now you know how it feels to be me? It's good, you know.. I'm emotional, yes i am. And i believe, common sense is a gift from The Above, The Greatest. Whatever i do, back to one thing, my common sense. Shall i, or shall i not. And yes, my practical judgment may not same as you. That's the differences. Ppl's envy, hating, critics. You're most welcome. Because we have feeling, emotion that you couldn't resist. We're just human.

Truly Madly Deeply .



Here we are again, circles never end
How do I find the perfect fit
There's enough for everyone
But I'm still waiting in line

Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told
Somebody tell me why I'm on my own
If there's a soulmate for everyone


Soulmate, Natasha Bedingfield

Kugiran Matahariku .

Oh malam
Bawaku terbang jauh
Agar aku dapat bersama si dia
Agar aku dapat melihat senyumannya
Namun apakan daya
Dia hanya ilusi
Dia bukan milikku.

Sunshine,
I will give you everything
All of my life
If only you could be mine

Tidak dapat ku sembunyikan rasa
Pabila kau di depan mata
Aku hanya terkedu
Aku merindu
Namun apakan daya
Dia hanya bayangan
Dia bukan milikku.

  • Raya tahun ni lg skali tk ckp ahli, sbb K.ngah tk dpt blk. :(

But well, at least this raya walaupun exam, i still berkesempatan to do the Makan-makan Raya. Eventhough tk brape ramai yg dpt attend di sebabkan hal masing-masing, it's quite meriah. Thanks to those who came. :) These are some of the pictures taken during sepanjang Syawal.

Sempurna .

Sering aku bertanya pada Tuhan,
Adakah ini akan berlanjutan,
Hati ku terus dinodai,
Apakah tiada jalan penyelesaian.

Sering aku bertanya pada diri sendiri,
Apa sebenarnya hidup ini,
Bergelimpangan dengan dosa, aku takut.
Adakah aku masih bisa diampuni.

Andai ku bisa mengubah masa,
Ingin ku ubah masa-masa lepas.
Tapi aku bukan tuhan untuk menentukan segalanya,
Aku hanya mampu menadah, agar hidup ini lebih indah dengan keberkatan-Nya.

*****************************

Believing the grass would be greener,
From the past, i learnt to be better,
For someday i know life won't be the same,
Sun will shine again, and tomorrow will be new.

Soal Hati .




Kadang hati berkata,
Aku masih mampu.
Tapi bila jiwa meronta,
Aku sedar, aku hanya itu.
Bila kau sesekali menjengah,
Aku keliru..

Jika aku punya hati,
Mengapa kau punya benci?
Jika aku ada cinta,
Mengapa kau masih sendiri?

Redha, hanya itu yang ku mampu.
Mungkin ini hanya dugaan.
Untuk esok aku masih tidak tahu.
Aku hanya berserah kepada Mu, Ya Allah.
Lindungilah aku daripada keraguan.
Keraguan yang bisa menjatuhkan aku ke dalam lubang dosa Mu.

Best ke ada BF?


This morning, i had breakfast with my 3rd sister, K.lang. While eating, we had plain conversation. And i suddenly,

"Best tak ada boyfriend?"

K.lang terdiam.

"Best ke?" I asked.

"Best? Best tu tak sesuai term die." She replied.

"Dah tu? Seronok?" I asked again.

Then, she replied,

"Taklah.."

"Bahagia."




Both of us tiba-tiba senyap. and laugh.
