After Aidiladha's celebration...ive been thinking a lot about the meaning behind the word 'sacrifice'. It's so subjective and in a way..it makes me think..what have i sacrificed so far..and what im about to in the future.
Since I was lil...ive always LOVEDDD fashion...im still very much in love with it. That is y i dont mind spending hundreds of bucks on just a working pants. It's not just about the brand..but the quality it carries with it. I wont buy 300bucks worth of khakis from CK that looks like it can be found in Padini for just 79bucks. Ma mom always reminds me that..what ever u buy..make sure it looks the price u paid for it if not more. So obviously..im more than willing to sacrifice ma MONEH for ma image.
But what most ..or should i say all of u..dont know is that..ive always wanted to be a fashion designer. :)
When i was younger..i had a notebook where ill sketch my clothing line. Im not sure if the notebook is still around..but yeah..i had that magical book. Ofcourse it looked like a 7 year old art work..but it was full of passion. Even till today..i still have that passion in me. I love modern fashion sense but with a touch of english taste here n there. Unfortunately, i had to sacrifice that dream..cos of ma religion. I admit im not the best muslim uve ever met, not the most conservative one..or the best dressed muslim...but i try to stay in line with at least the basic rules and understanding of Islam.
I'm not saying as a muslim u cant be a fashion designer. ofcourse u can. the beauty of islam is that it doesnt stop u from doin things u wanna do..as long as u follow the guidelines God has provided. however, due to influences of our world culture..im into ..how do i put it..emm..more modern, less conservative..GLOBAL outfits..where it can be 'physical'. hahahahahhaa..er..yeah. :D still blur? ok..halter necks..shorts..low waist pants. :P
To the none muslims that are wondering y its againts Islam..reasons y are because..when u create sthing that's wrong in islam..eventho its not for urself..it is still wrong..n thats not just it...u will also later on have to carry the burden of the sins of those who wears/uses ur creations. Eg. drugs. Im not taking em..but im selling em. Its still wrong cos u r encouraging it.
Anyways, im settling down with the fact that those type of outfits are just for ma knowledge. hehehehe. But ma interest in fashion remains the same. It hasnt minimized or anything. Im still very updated with whats new n whats not. (though im not so much a trend follower...if its the flower season..i wont wear flowers :P i dont like to blend with the crowds)
So..thats one of ma very very small unknown (or now known :p) sacrifice. :D But i believe with every sacrifices, comes opportunities. Ive learn to fall in love with branding and advertising..a field im good in and definitly will be able to work with.
Never be afraid to sacrifice..cos ull never know what's awaiting u
