The Flowers and Me - MOHD HANAFEE's FotoPage

Salam to all..

I'm wondering if it is okay to put up photos of size 800x600 pixels on this fp. I used to had 1028x872 before, but I reckoned they were just too big. By having smaller pixel, the picture might appear sharper, as the number of dpi decreases. But I'm okay with the current size, since I'm considering people downloading the photos and used them as wallpaper or such.

I was shocked by a big breaking news that my mum told me when I called her this morning. Probably this is the biggest one in my life. No word could describe my feeling at the moment. I thank Allah for making things easy for me. I want nothing except for His blessings, as well as my parents'. Its kinda bit earlier than expected, but there is obviously nothing wrong with it. All I have to do is just to prepare myself for that thing.

In this entry, I just want to share couple of photos of flowers taken around Ilam Garden and Botanical Garden. Having said about the flowers, it reminds me of a story I've heard some times ago. There was a teacher asking her student to pick up a flower on a garden. There were 12 rows of flowers planted. The flower should be the best flowers of all that were there, and the student was given 3 days to complete his task. At the end of the first day, he finished 4 rows, but he came back with nothing in his hand. He just couldn't find the best one as he kept thinking there might be something better in the next row. He then continued on the next 4 rows in the following day, but he still couldn't make up his mind. On the last day, the teacher said that the student MUST come up with his choice before he finishes the last row. Feeling a bit rushed, worried and desperate, he finally picked up a flower on the last rows, which was actually not as good as the flowers on the previous rows he had seen before. With a pinch of disappointment, he returned to the teacher with his final choice.

Here is what the teacher said to him: Choosing the flowers is like finding a partner for life. Sometimes the right person is already there before our eyes, but we keep denying it since we are always looking for a better one. We think that we deserved to get a person with criteria that we dreamed of. So we keep on searching and rejecting, until we come to a point that we left with minimal choices, as we are getting older and older everyday. At those point of time, we tend to accept anyone who approaches us, only if, there is any.

So my friends, do not wait until we become old enough only to find Mr or Ms Perfect. We are not that good either. Stop searching for perfection, but start becoming a better person each day. InshaAllah we will find the right person one day.

That's all. Thanks.
