Assignments!
5 Zulkaedah 1435H

Another incident of kids-playing/using-my-stuff-sampai-rosak.

Scolded both of them... And then felt bad about it.

They're kids Khadijah... And they're much more precious than that mini study table a.k.a rehal that u bought in Malang.

(':

Meanwhile, alhamdulillah! I actually overcame the 3 obstacles for the week! Namely, The Presentation (on Arab Uprising) last Friday, the article for the Comparative Civilisation module (3,000 words ++), and the Tariq Ramadhan 45-mins video analysis for the Contemporary Muslim World module.

Alhamdulillah, thummal hamdulillah...

Lenguh tulang-belulang ambo (hehe. K k, tak blh mengeluh! Tak bagus!)

***
few weeks back, the family (adik, abg 2, kak 3 n me) was into this Japanese story called The Rookies. A story about a group of so-called delinquents and their 'violent' teacher, who is actually very supportive and has strong faith in their capabilities and... Dreams!

Basically the story is based on struggling towards achieving one's dreams, which in this case is getting to excel in baseball and making it to Koshien (i reckon it's some kind of a national baseball tournament).

Interesting storyline, although I grimaced at certain parts; especially when they thought that life without baseball has no meaning.

I'm soooo glad to be a Muslim because Islam teaches me that no matter what happens, Allah is always by your side (as long as u're sincere with Him). And that the ultimate goal in your life, is to seek His Pleasure. To do something that is of benefit to u & the Ummah (':

This way, we won't feel like our lives depend on some worldly matter, and get so depressed if we don't get what we want.

Nevertheless, I like the part on the importance of taking care of your comrades, helping one another and winning as a team.
And I sure like the spirit shown by the teacher! (:

Winners never quit!

Enough for now. The right shoulder is getting stiffer. Shall rest and get ready for tomorrow. Still gotta finish setting the Fiqh C.A. paper! >.<"

Contemporary Muslim World...
Another IOK module (for the Post-Graduate Diploma in Islamic Thoughts and Civilisation with ISTAC of IIUM) started last Friday.

Contemporary Muslim World.

Interesting.
Very strict lecturer (:D),
Not a second of sleepiness felt throughout both 3-hour lectures (yest & today).

I've discovered many new yet very important facts since this IOK programme has started.
This module & the previous one (on Comparative Civilisations) especially, made me so keen and triggered to know and discover more of the history.

Just that I'm no longer a full-time student.
Meaning that on top of all these assignments (to date, we have 4 assignments to be submitted by end of the month), I have to prepare for my lessons in school, test papers, exercises, do markings, and prepare for The Observation that's coming up soon.

Or perhaps I'm just giving myself excuses!

Read Khadijah, READ!

History of Jordan - Pan-Islamisation - Geo-Politics - 1492....

By the way, my group's theme is the Arab Uprisings (I just knew that this differs from 'Arab Spring'. The former includes Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Libya and Syria while the latter is only for Egypt).

And we have only 15 mins to present. Once exceeded, the lecturer will start deducting marks....

*inhale deeeeply.... And exhaleeeee...*

On a more relaxed note (haaa), we managed to have a Perjumpaan Raya cum solat hajat & qasidah get-together of Akhawat Dmasyq yesterday evening (19 Syawal 1435H) at Joo Chiat lvl 4! ^^
the kids (9 of them!) really 'pumped up' the atmosphere. LOL.
*hügs all*

Raya Visits
15 Syawal 1435H

Finally getting to update my khad-safiy (':

After almost a month... It's now the 2nd week of 'Eid.

Starting from Sat night, Sun morning & afternoon, this afternoon & evening...
Students from different classes have been coming to my place for 'Eid visits.

Allah yaftah 'alaihim.

That aside, me still have some markings and IOK assignments to do.
Plus preparation for upcoming lessons, biidznillah!
