2014.

2014 is coming towards its end. It was such a challenging year for Malaysia I must say. The disappearance of the flight MH370 in March, the shot down of flight MH17 in July, and now comes this horrendous flood hitting some parts in our dearest Malaysia. 

The earth is getting older. Each day, each year that passes, we know that we are closer to the end rather than the beginning. The thought of this spooks me out. 

My heart breaks thinking about the calamity the victims are facing. I apologize for being helpless. Guilts are eating me up for every smiles I am still able to carve, when the thought of people suffering are there at the back of my mind.

You can see now on the social media how viral things are. How some news, be it true or otherwise, they are all over the place. You can see how some screenshots claimed to come from the victims, the pleading to survive, the shrieking out of madness asking where the help are, the wailing out of anger of how they see nobody is coming to save them. You can see how messed up us human beings can be in this situation. 

I had a thought to myself, how would people then react when the world truly collapse one day? When Allah then would command the sky to crash upon us. When Allah then would command the oceans to tear us down. When Allah then would command the ground to break us apart. When we no longer could get any help from anyone. When there would be no escape anymore. 

Let's reflect upon this. Naudzubillah even the thought of it could send shivers down my spine. 

The signs, as we keep on counting it one by one, for all that we know there could be only few left. 

And then I asked myself, are you ready? What have you prepared for yourself? Nauzubillah, Allahu, help 😔
