4 Rabi'ul Akhir 1434H
for the first time, i heard the term "rabi'ul rabi'" coming from one of my sec 1 boys. haiz~
speaking of my sec 1s... subhanallah~ they can be very annoying, yet entertaining and amusing. some are still very small. comeL.
had a chat with 2 of them just now, and true enough, it brought such joy to the atmosphere... *chuckles*
however, in class, it requires a whole lot of patience to deal with them, especially during class activities... Allah yardha' alaihim..
tak sampai 2 bulan, tapi dah rasa sayang pada antum~ ;)
...
Lately, schedule is getting quite packed:
had to stay back for some tasmi' sessions, have markings to do, just completed an MA project, have slides to prepare for upcoming lessons in 3 different subjects, have lesson plans to submit, have a thesis that requires loads of research and analysis, have to brainstorm on ways to spur some of the laid back students towards their studies, have to prepare for an upcoming field trip for my department, have to design test papers for the upcoming CA, n not forgetting my own personal goals to attain, n responsibilities at home.
but with Allah's Help, and being surrounded by these students... it helped somehow :')
was too occupied with school today, that i didn't even remember it's the so-called V-Day, until I spotted bouquets of flowers at the kiosks near Yishun MRT during my journey home. it made me happy (to not notice/remember about it) because never once did i hear any mention of it in school today.
faham tak?
living in a very secular country like Singapore, it's not easy not to notice the negative things/celebrations/actions, etc. happening around you. but getting to spend most of my day in a madrasah, at least, it acts as a form of protection from those things opposing to shari'a that are taking place around us.
moga suasana keIslaman ini kekal selamanya di madrasah... kerana sungguh ia membawa nikmat ketenangan yang amat indah dan mendamaikan, di sebalik keriuhan dan gelagat para pelajar yang mencuit hati di sekeliling :')

meanwhile, during a few durus with Habib Abdullah bin Hussein Al-Masyhur -hafizahullah- few days back:
I realised the importance of multiplying our good intentions.
yes! it's not enough just to make a good intention, rather it would be much better to increase them, like what the salaf as-soleh used to do. for example: they would pray 2 rakaat in the morning with 5 niyyaat:
1. Dhuha
2. Isyraq
3. Istikharah
4. Hifz (Protection from the evils of the dunya)
5. Qadha' al-Haajah
Habib also mentioned that there are 70 niat for nikah (!)
