My name is...

Salam
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

well...no, im not gonna do a review on any specific movies, just the movie of my life. I have been pondering on this all this morning, and i seriously dont know how should i be explaining it to others, thus, i have decided to just write about it in my blog.

My name is Tuan Eka Irina Akma binti Tuan Kamaruddin, and yes im sure most of my readers would have noticed this as this is the name that i put in my profile. If you dont realize it, than congrats, you're not being observant enough. Anyways, lately, whenever i introduce myself to others, they seem to completely for get my name. The thing is i always introduce myself as merely "EKA", thinking that it would be short, sweet and definitely easy to remember. Boy, was i wrong! its the other way round! humph..

Thus, i think i'll try and introduce myself as IRINA then, im used to this name too, as my lecturers call me IRINA, and i like being called IRINA.

Secondly, the meaning of my name. I apologize, unlike everyone else in this world, my name seem to not have any arabic meaning. Nevertheless, i dont recall the need to name your child in a name that has arabic meaning, just that it should be appropriate as a name represents a person. It doesnt have to be arabic, its just people are choosing arabic name due to the beauty of the language itself, i admit that. BUT its not necessary to put an arabic name for your child, its not an order in the Divine Revelations (The Al-Quran).
EKA means octupus in japanese, yes laugh all you want, but please dont do it infront of me, if you dont like hurting the feelings of the owner of the name. I like that name, as my MUM gave it to me. I LOVE MY MUM, thus anyone who disrespects my name, are just mean.
IRINA on the other hand means peaceful in russian, and i think this resembles most of me.
I hate fighting, i would alwasy be the one giving up, merely because its in my nature.
I hate wars, which is why i can neasily cry watching sad war videos.
"Ya Allah, Kau selamatkanlah saudara mara se-Islam ku di seluruh dunia dari keganasan penentang Mu, Ya Allah. Sesungguhnya Engkau yang Maha Adil, dan kami hanya bergantung pada-Mu Ya Allah." Amin.

...and i like studying alone in my room, with the doors closed, as i find it very peaceful to be alone in my room. ;)

Another advantage of having a super long name is that, you can change it each time! haha.. next time, maybe i'll change it to AKMA?? ;P but, i dont think that would be anytime soon, as i have a senior named AKMAR! ;P

Alhamdulillah, finally i can feel peaceful that this burden of having others making fun of my name is 'typed out' for public view so that finally otehr can know how i really feel when they say bad things to me.
Allah Maha Adil. So, dont hurt others. ;)

Salam.
