5 more days to go!! how time flies.. can't believe that another year is ending.. and as things end, we will be reflecting things that had happened..

new year's eve would be a spectacular nite wz lotsa celebration and parties.. how would my new year's eve be? well, i'll just be home wz schatz watching tv or playing PS2.. hehehe..

anyway, jus feeling like sharing something.. i kinda miss celebrating the new year's eve.. the last time i did was back in 2002.. my fav part of the nite is the fireworks and jus being out late nite.. after dad left, it was easy for me to go out late at nite..

schatz and i (as a couple would be) celebrate new year's eve watching fireworks. if i'm not mistaken, i only gone out twice or three times only to celebrate new year's eve..

why did i stop? sure you think cos i'm married.. not exactly.. it's not like i have children or things to do at home.. it's bcos i'm afraid.. afraid of what? afraid of not doing the right thing as a muslim should..

schatz played this 'ceramah' cassette about celebrating new year's eve.. things mentioned were:

- how come there were many malays (muslim) died of accidents that nite.
- accidents death is considered syahid but not if u're on ur way to party..
- the new year is based on christian calendar not islam
- christians and jews are planning ways to destroy muslim by tempering our akidah cos that's what makes Islam strong..to destroy islam, we must provide with entertainment like music, parties and celebrations..

i'm sure some of you would think that it's stupid and boring.. but i do take those thing seriously.. i'm not looking for a fight wz any non-muslim ppl. i just wanna make sure that i followed the right path cos i believed that the eternal life would be 'akhirat'.. so, everything i do now will be judged and i don't really have much time in this world.. i could die in a second without knowing it.. the last time i celebrated new year's eve, i almost had an accident. i was on a bike wz schatz and u know how the traffic would be on new year's eve.. so scary.. don't wanna be in tht situation no more..

i dont wanna jeopardize my faith by going out to celebrate new year's eve.. i guess i'm playing safe.. i'm thankful to God for another year of life and i'm thankful for all the blessings and happiness that The Almighty have given to me.. all of that can be done at home right? plus, i still can watch fireworks from here..

i'm sorry if i offended anyone but this is something that i wanna share. . i'm not trying to be mrs nice or mrs 'alim' or 'ustazah'.. i know where i stand.. i know some ppl who i love dearly that will probably get drunk and party all nite on new year's eve.. it's not just that they're doing sins but they're hurting themselves.  i know i should mind my own business but i jus dont understand why educated ppl can ignore common sense... *sigh* the most popular excuse would be "we're jus having a good time. cannot ah?" wat-eva!

anyway, to all my friends and readers who are celebrating new year's eve.. be careful on the road or anywhere.. to the muslims, remember that Allah is watching, so behave yourself and dont get yourself into any trouble.. take care everyone.. and have a happy new year!!
