*10 thgs i'm grateful for*

these are my random thoughts... and they're all typed out in random order... [except for #1..]

1) having a close-knit family who doesnt only stand by my side thru the good times but has also been with me thru out my bad times... basically we lean on each other always no matter wht the situation might be... and bcoz of tht and tons of other reasons, i love u mak, atta, tim busuk, kambing and kecik!!! u guys are my world!!!

2) being born a muslim ---> though i realize tht i'm far frm perfect in being a true mukmin... am hoping to be one, taking a step at a time....

3) having friends around me ---> despite the fact tht some of them pretty much irritate me or drive me nuts half of the time, the rest are rather wonderful... and without them, life wouldnt be as much fun as it is now... suteki2.... ^^

4) having a healthy body ---> seeing sick ppl around me everyday makes me realize how grateful i am for being healthy and being able to do thgs uninterrupted despite the occassional common cold tht i get... huhu....

5) having a 'perfect' face ---> no matter wht others say, i think my face is perfect coz i have
- a nose *which can be used to smell all the nice thgs around me*
- a pair of eyes *to see all the beautiful thgs in life like the small white flower or the multi-coloured rainbow*
- a mouth with a tongue and full sets of teeth *to munch on thgs and enjoy the taste of food and drinks*
- a pair of ears *to listen to the wonderful sounds around me*
and they are all set in their rightful place... i cant ask god for anythg more.... =p

6) having a scholarship to support my studies ---> without which, i doubt i'd be here in manipal... and i definitely wont be doing medic coz my family couldnt have afforded all the expenses... thank you Allah for giving me this great 'gift'... am definitely gonna work hard to succeed in this field...

7) having a wonderful extended family which consists of aunts, uncles, cousin sisters, cousin brothers, nephews and nieces ---> am really glad tht i was born into a huge family who really cares about me... thanks for all of u guys nyer support for me n my family... despite a few ppl being nosy n a pain-in-the-***, the rest are simply great... the abdul majid clan is ichiban saiko!!

8) having a good brain which thankfully saves me indirectly during exams frm failing... again, i'm truly grateful to god for giving me one of the greatest 'gift' in life... hopefully, i'll grow wiser each day...

9) having all the experiences tht i've obtained thruout my 21years of life... some of which i'm sure others might hv never experienced or thought of experiencing... all of these are wht made me who i am today and are the ones tht will carve my path in life for the future.. though some were bad, but i learned frm them to be a better person... dakara, i'm glad tht i got to experience all of them... and the good experiences are the ones tht pushes me forward in life when i'm feeling down...

10) basically, i'm juz glad for being alive!! thanks to my mom for bearing all the pain to deliver me... and more importantly, thanks to Allah for giving me a chance to breathe in this world....

soreja minna, if u start looking around carefully, u'll finally realize tht there are tons of thgs in life tht u shud be grateful and thankful for... i knw i am...
