::of facial and funeral::

The title of this post may sound a bit confusing or it might be hard to find a link between the two. Well, let me explain..I went for a facial with my mom . I was excited of course, imagining my face being cleansed, scrubbed, etc. to perfection (duh!). The first half an hour was ok..but then my back started to ache as a result of lying down on a small bed for too long. However, I managed to go through it calmly (macam undergo operation je kan?? hahaha. gedx!). Then when it was time to wear the mask..I thought my eyes will be left 'untouched' but rupa-rupanya, after placing the net on my face, my eyes were closed with the cotton tissue and the mask was spread on my face, including my eyes! so mmg i couldnt open my eyes for the next half an hour..plus i could not move my face. So I started to panick and I felt a bit suffocated..seriously i felt like I was placed in a coffin ALIVE! So I requested for my eyes to be left uncovered so that i could open it once in a while..luckily org tu bagi. I could not imagine if I was not allowed to do so. That was when I realized that i really am - to a certain extent - a claustrophobic. And eventhough I might sound 'mcm tah pape', but trust me, I did gain keinsafan. It really made me think of death..and how will it really be like when I am burried in the grave. I mean at that time nothing else matters, except our faith, our good deeds and the mercy of Allah. What more, i was left alone in the room.. and since it was kinda quiet, once in a while I could hear footsteps..which - metaphorically -made me think of the arrival of Munkar and Nakir to question us in the grave. It really made me reflect on the things that i have done in my life and to be honest, i've never thought that I would experience anything like that while having a facial.. I am not trying to say that I have now become an entirely good person; my main intention of sharing my experience is to send across the message to my fellow brothers and sisters that our life will soon come to an end..and that we don't know when that would be.
