A Boring Day & A Relief

It was Sunday. I got a free gift from Lancome a week before and it was a facial treatment in Mid Valley( always like free gift.). They made a promotion and I was the lucky one who passing by the promotion counter after buying a book from MPH Mid Valley. The appointment was on that day however feeling guilty of leaving my abundance of assignment I cancelled the appointment. I started to do my assignment but during noon it started to rain. For the couple of weeks it always rain especially in the afternoon . Sometimes type of rain that comes together with dark cloudy weather, strong stormy winds, lightning and thunder and sometimes it is the type of rain that we call 'raining cats and dogs.' (Wonder how cats and dogs got the credit here!) . This 'cats and dogs' rain is merely 'heavy rainfalls' and thats all. No lightning. No thunder. No storms.

Then I felt bored with unhappy mood. I cannot do my assignment or read anything. I was at home and the solitude in my room made me so bored. After an exhaustive week with few works that didn’t turn out as expected. I really can’t find something to do (eventhough I have a lot assignment) and I really want to go out. I was dead bored.

I couldn’t do my assignment without my internet, no computer, no television since all the electrical appliances were already switched off because of lightning. I just follow what my father taught me when I was a little girl. My dad is an ardent believer that the television could easily be faulty if it is switched on during heavy rain, especially when there's lightning. I did some sms with my friend and one of them dedicated me a lemon tree song. Ha3x.

The rain only stopped at 8.00 p.m, I took my car and went to the nearest PETRONAS station. Actually I didn’t know why I went there, my car’s tank was full, I didn’t want to withdraw my money or do something I always do in PETRONAS. I had nothing specific to do there. After a few minutes in the PETRONAS station I decided to buy a can of Nescaffe and went back home with a happy mood. What a relief after a boring day!

Assalamua'laikum dear Azuriy,

Some suggestion if you feel bored;
1) Try to read motivational books, either story books, wisdom tips books, etc. (especially books written by Dr. A'idh or any local motivator like Dr. Fadilah Kamsah & Dr. Zahazan)
2) Call your family members, especially your parents, and talk to them while smiling.
3) Rearrange your house's furniture or any interior items (berkemas rumah, this is actually doing light exercise)like rearranging books, reorganise utility bills, remaking your room look, etc.-decorating our room with real plants could give "ketenangan jiwa". Try to have a plant that you dip the root in water.
4) Use the moment to have your mind relax. Plan a vacation perhaps. The point is, never try to think of the boring thing for a long duration of time. Can also use the time for 'muhasabah' our self as well.
5) Lastly, the best of all, take wuduk and read 'ayatul Quran' together with the meaning.

Feeling bored is normal sis, however never let it controls you. Always be happy, or atleast just pretend that we are feeling happy. Walla-hu-a'k-lam,

(As-Salikinal Mahabbah)
