It has been such a long time since I last wrote...

Assalamu'alaikum,
I owe a friend some journal entries which I would say are long overdue! How I wish I had more time to write so that I could put my thoughts on paper. Well, now would be a good time as any...
The other day I was telling a friend about the ironies in life; how things would take a complete different turning when we least expect it. And more often than not, these very events cause us to reflect on things which happen around us, the people we deal with in life and never, ever should we take life for granted. Of course, at the end of the day, we notice the 'hikmah' that underlies all these events is priceless and awaits to be unraveled. In fact, the various events (or life dramas, as once was used by my Islamic Philosophy lecturer) were meant to happen in the first place and we are kept not in the know by Allah for various reasons known only to Him. As the saying goes, "Manusia hanya merancang, Allah juga yang menentukan..."
Hmm I need to get some sleep before dawn sets in. InsyaAllah, I will continue with the rest of this journal very soon...
