Officially graduated :)
11 Jamadilawal 1428H

school holiday kicks in! (as though it makes much difference to me. Hoho…)
well, at least I now have my weekend mornings since Assyafaah is having a month break. Tu pun dah ada mcm2 “dates”. Most prob I’m gonna have workshops to attend on 2nd n 3rd June. Sis Zarul already “booked” me to accompany her jogging on 9th June. And I’ve yet to set time to meet up with my Nad (the book Nad, remember? huu~), Huda (nak blaja swimming!!! Hehe…) and Raihana Jailani (she has been wanting to meet up w me since months ago. So sorry my dear sis. InsyaAllah some time this coming week k? :)

Plus there’s the IMPIAN-Pergas Peer Talk III comin’ up. It’s an event organized in the hope of exposing graduating madrasah students to the various tertiary institutions locally and internationally. 21st July 2007 @ Madrasah Aljunied auditorium (ni sengaje post kat sini coz I know my juniors will be reading this ;p to Atiqah n Farahin: SPREAD eh! ;)

Speaking of spreading news of upcoming events, there’s also NUSMS Muslimah Nite 2007 on 8th June 2007, 6pm @Al-Wehdah (of all places eh Hazami n sis Khatim? Been there for years… huu~).

Youngest sis just went for Rebutia Camp @ Selangor this morning. BESTnye!! Org tak pernah pun dpt gi camp mcm tu… :( nak pergi~ but at this age, are there any camps in which I can simply be the participant? (instead of faci/ part of the Organising comm? )

On a more cheerful note, one of my projects @ Assyafaah is done! ^-^ alhamdulillah, the Kids Zone with the Garden Theme turned out to be beautiful, as complimented by parents n the other asatizah. hee~ Thanks to sis Suriani n Wak for helping me out. n ustaz Hafiz for helping me carry the heavy glass covers -_-“ kekek kerja dgn ustaz ni. The other day I wanted to “ampu” him a bit before asking for the help. Niat di hati nak cakap “ustaz kan gagah….” But ntah knp masa tu word tu tak keluar. Yg kluar: "ustaz kan…gergasi…” lol. n the nick sticks. So till now I call him Ustaz Gergasi. Haa!

Oh yep. As u can probably guess from the conversations @ my tagboard: my Graduation Ceremony was over! 21st May 2007. 5:30pm. Ended ard 7:20pm. Mana nak makan, nak amik2 gambar, nak peluk2 girlfrens, nak kejarkan solat Maghrib…. It was a rush. Sempat amik gambar dgn mana2 yg terserempak je (couldn’t find my Fatimah n dearie Junie. haiz~). But oklah, hamdan lillah, at least ada jugak sedikit gambar buat kenangan :) thanks to 2nd Bro n wife for accompanying me ya :D

nice stage aite?
Junie and Yasmin are going to Australia. Devi is going to India to pursue a degree in Psychology. Each with their own ambition and desired destination. May all of you succeed, wherever you are my dear friends :)

Meanwhile, usratii is planning for a holiday this June. Still trying to decide on the best location. Genting is out coz not suitable for Mom n Dad. hee~ (tak bleh imagine Mak/ Ayah naik roller coaster. kih3!) Org cakap pergilah Cameron. Nak tgk rose!!!

Last but not least, to youngest sis, najaah musyarrif! She improved quite a lot for her mid year exams. Need to brush up a lot on ur Biology n Maths though. Other than that, keep on improving on the other subjects n InsyaAllah u’ll have no difficulty in making to the top 3 for the finals. Yea! ^_^V

Punctuality in Islam
Stop saying over and over again that you are late because of "Muslim standard time,"or the "standard time" of your particular ethnicity (eg. Janji Melayu, bla bla bla..). The last thing we should attribute to Islam is the notion that its teachings somehow make us late, slow, slugging, and anything but punctual. What a sad state of affairs, indeed, that we attribute our own weaknesses to our religion or ethnicity!

Highly successful individuals, be they Muslim or not, understand and appreciate the value of not only their time but the time of everyone else with whom they interact. Keeping people waiting for hours on end is neither something to be proud of nor a habit that has a place in the mindset of a person who tries to be successful.

One of the central pillars of Islam is prayer, and Allaah and the Prophet Muhammad (sall Allaahu`alayhi wa sallam) have given us clear reminders that we are to establish prayers at their due times.

When `Abdullah R.A. asked "which deed is the dearest to Allaah?" the Prophet Muhammad SAW replied, "To offer the prayers at their early stated fixed times" (Saheeh Bukhari).

If indeed your day is to be considered successful, you must have prayed all the obligatory prayers at their established times and as many voluntary prayers as possible. If your day is planned around the times of prayer, you should not pray exactly at the time when you are to pray but then come late to all other appointments. Being punctual is a habit which, when perfected, demonstrates to others the tremendous value that Islam places on time — not only ours but that of everyone else with whom we interact.

>> reminding her own self. try Khadijah!
>> received this in an email from Masturah Yusof. thanks Mas! :)

Success
Success means something different to each one of us,
but it comes to those who are willing to work hard
and who continue to be dedicated
to making their dreams come true.

Success means setting goals
and focusing yourself in the right direction
in order to reach them.

It means believing in yourself
and constantly reminding yourself
that you are capable of achieving your desires.

But most of all,
success is being who you are,
and feeling proud of yourself
for every task and challenge
that you face and conquer along the way.

jangan menyerah kalah Khadijah. terus maju, jangan diundurkan langkah perjuanganmu!

Phening!
25 Rabi'ul Akhir 1428H

just finished teaching my nephew n niece iqra'. adoi~ telatah budak2 ni kadang2 betul2 mencuit hati. if u know me, u'll know that i'm very particular about pronunciation of the Arabic words. yelah, one day insyaAllah they'll "be promoted" to the al-Qur'an kan, n even a slight error in pronunciation can have a different meaning altogether. astaghfirullah..

anw, i taught her, as i was taught by Liyana (syukran sis! =D), that u have to tilt ur tongue a bit to the right, pushing against the back of ur front teeth (tunggu ape lagi? cepat lah practise! =P) when pronouncing the harf "dhad". kesian my Nasuha. sampai senget2 mulut dia in an effort to pronounce the harf. hee~ on top of that, i also got to know last year that the correct pronunciation of the harf "dal" is NOT "da". lidah tu kene tekan kat lelangit. yep. that's right! =D

coOL~ maasyaAllah! so many things yet to be discovered n learnt aite?

btw, to my dear Huda: awaaaaak!!! kte dah jumpe cincin kte yang hilang tu ^-^ (u might want to refer to my past entry entitled Chin-Chin. heh) oklah, actually 1st sister found it. at her place. patotlah selama ni gue cari pat rumah tu macam nak rak tak jumpa2 jugak. mati2 gue ingatkan dah ter-masuk dlm tong sampah n terbuang. to myself: well done for succeeding in not thinking too much abt it. we're not supposed to be too worried abt the dunya Khadijah, remember? kene practise. teruskan mujahadah... :)

on a more solemn note: just got to know from youngest sis what mom told her abt my intention to pursue my studies overses in Ukhrawi. sister was saying that me gonna despair mom n let her hopes down. "ntah mak masih hidup ke tak untuk lihat kakak bila dia habis belajar (4 thn) nanti..." tsk2. mak ni takmu lah cakap macam tu. mak suka tau pendam benda2 mcm ni semua. depan org mak tak nak cakap, mak tak nak luahkan kesedihan. everything seems ok. coz i know mom doesn't want me to worry...

Please Guide me O Allah...


dan dia terus termenung~
