"we're always longing for the next big things, aren't we?"
"as we believe that the next big things will be our infinite happiness."
haritu bawa uwais dan muaz jalan-jalan.
ada singgah kedai mainan.
eksaited. sangat.
"in fact, happiness is easy. as easy as eating ice cream on a hot sunny days."
"but, they are all temporary. we do felt rejoiced but for only like 10 minutes? who on earth eat ice cream all day long anyway? so, we look for the next available things nearby to get us entertained and feel happy."
satu mainan jak boleh pilih setiap seorang. rambang mata ndak tau mau pilih mana. tangan pegang mainan lain. mata pandang mainan lain. hampir satu jam tunggu keputusan. akhirnya, dua-dua pilih kereta-lumba-pasang-sendiri.
sepanjang perjalanan, ndak berhenti belek-belek kotak kereta masing-masing sambil banding-banding setiap detail kereta diorang.
eksaitednyaaa.
"on another level of life, we look forward to get graduated from school since the first moment we sit on the classroom chair. yes, we are so happy on the graduation day. but for how many days it will last? one or two days? then we get bored again. we cannot wait to get employed. we got really excited on the first day at the office. but, guess what? as weeks and months goes by, we start to feel dull inside, repeating the same work routine every day."
"but, we do still believe that the next big things will bring us long lasting happiness. we got stuck in a mindset loophole without ever realizing it."
sampai rumah, terus bukak kotak dan try pasang. atok(bapak) pun bantu sekali pasangkan. kereta muaz siap dulu. kereta uwais ndak boleh siap sebab ada terhilang atau terpatah satu part penting. terbengkalai satu kereta. sayangnya tu kereta. haha.
jadinya uwais dengan muaz kongsi satu kereta yang siap tu, main dengan si memeng, suruh kucing jingga puteh tu kejar kereta diorang. si memeng layan jak.
masih eksaited.
"surah number twenty eight, ayah number seventy six and seventy seven. this explains about how we should never be deluded by a fake happiness, unbalanced motivation."
"our vision was too short that we end up limiting our pursuit of happiness to only within this worldly dunya, forgetting that akhirah is the final destination."
tapi, lepas sehari dua, kereta mainan yang lengkap tu pun terbengkalai, masuk dalam bakul mainan diorang, bercampur dengan mainan-mainan lama. ndak da suda keseronokan dan keterujaan untuk masukkan bateri dalam kereta mainan tu dan lepaskan ia meluncur sambil dikejar si memeng. ndak eksaited sudah.
fokus diorang berpindah. main benda lain yang best selain mainan plastik. dan setel lah eksperimen ayat dua puluh, surah lima puluh tujuh.

al-qasas: 76-77.
do not exult. indeed, Allah does not like the exultant.
but seek, through that which Allah has given you, the home of the hereafter; and (yet), do not forget your share of the world.
al-hadid: 20
sesungguhnya kehidupan dunia itu hanyalah permainan.
