Letting go of the old stuff

I've recently given away 2 pairs of my telekung (the one used for prayers). They're both in excellent condition, and made of fine material. But.. I've been reluctant to wear them for quite some time dah.. Finally decided to give them away.

So today, Mak & I headed to Jln TAR / Masjid India area to window shop for replacement.

Found one pair that I really like, so I've decided to buy it. Although.. Mak mentioned that this one looked similar to one of the pairs I gave away.
LOLs..
I told Mak: "Well, I know it's different. Ni Yam beli pakai duit Yam sendiri."
Hihiihihih..

Unfortunately, bargaining is NOT my strong point. Hehehe.. my power of persuasion is soooo teruk. :P
And hence the reason for Mak coming along with me. Hehhehehe..

Hmm, actually I saw another pair of telekung that I thought looked nice, and the material seemed not bad too. I think I might go ahead and just buy it la..

I've recently decided to give up on something.

Previously, everytime I try to think of doing away with it, my head gets messed up. So, terus jadi malas nak fikir pasal benda ni.
I guess I've been in a state of denial for so long, it somehow became a norm.

However, recently.. I sat down and forced myself to seriously think about this matter.
And I've decided that.. it's time to give it up. I don't think it's wise to delay it any longer la..

I'm remembering a short story I came across a few days ago. I actually first read it a few years ago - but somehow that day I found that email again and re-read the story.. (Nour, it's that story I forwarded to you that day. I sent to Anne too)

If I can find it, I'll post it here. But for now.. I'll just tell you guys the lesson behind it:

Sometimes, we're so reluctant to let go of the small things in life..
While Allah might be waiting for us to set them free.. So that HE can give us the bigger rewards. More precious. More significant.
When HE gives us something, we have to give up some other things from our current possessions.

Let go of the little things. Let go of the small stuff.
So that HE can give us something more valuable in replacement.

I guess it's time to let some things go.

And make room for new ones...
