Flashbacks @ Midnight!

Despite quite a packed schedule today (visit to Liyana's + tasmi', visit to Syikin's, dars Ustzh Alina where again I had to be the emcee (bidan terjun habis!!), n then to kak Aisyah Safari's), I still couldn't doze off.

Memories flickered in my mind:

> From today's happenings,

> To Arwah Ayah and his much-missed habits & voice,

> To Syrian times (at the old Beit Hannan, washing our own carpets in preparation for (my 1st ) winter there, lugged those heavy & big carpets to our neighbour's rooftop to dry them (and then lugged them back home after a few days -CAYALAH!!), to the days at the dorm, where at certain nights, secretly, a group of us (from different countries) will gather n Lina the Korean sis will lead us in some (supposedly) yoga exercises. Hilarious! But we had to diligently stifle our laughs as much as we could so as not to disrupt the others nor make known our activity to the musyrifaat (supervisors). Haha..

> To kids! Today I spent much time with so many little kids. Syikin's 4 kids + kak Siti's 3 kids & kak Faizah Ibrahim's 2 kids. Whoa that's 9! :'D

Syikin's do'as touched my Khad. 

Yaa Rabb..

n I miss my Syaakirah (especially) and Huda who followed Kak Asmah (1st bro's wife) back to JB to stay there till we're all back from Aussie. 

Anw, yesterday (Jumu'ah) I started another read-minimum-3-pages-per-day group, with my sec 2s (including 2 from sec 3s who expressed their interest to join as well). So there're 9 of them + 1 me :)

...

Been wanting to write a focused entry on Rabi'ul Anwar... Some reflections, aspirations..
shall try to pen those thoughts down in Down Under i guess.
Coz we'll already be flying off tomorrow insyaAllah.

Although I still can't seem to get myself excited about the trip (so far I'm only interested in going to Muslim countries/cities -including Maldives, eversince Huda my best friend shared those pics n experiences. heh. - and New Zealand - pasal ChantiQue sgt gambo2 dia!), buy hey! At least I'll be with la famillé! (that's "my family" in French if I remember correctly from what I learnt in French class back in 2006/2007, year 2 @poly, silent 'll').

And there's Mak!

And we'll be meeting Kak Hawa (6th sis) and her family (Abg Adha, Asadullah, Safiyya & Haydar)!

And koalas & kanggaroos!

and...


Well that's all i guess. Not excited at all abt shopping as i don't think things over there would interest me much. Hah. 
or maybe it's too soon to make that statement?

We shall wait n see ok, Khadijah? ;)

Perth, here we come tmr with Allah's Will!

O Allah, please make this trip a beneficial, meaningful & enriching one for all of us.

(I'm actually a bit sad bcoz maulid Rasulullahﷺ will take place when i'm there. When there're going to be LOADS of happenings & majaalis back here in Sg. Yaaaa Rabb! Ma sisters bought tix back in September n I wasn't even interested to plan with them nor realised the Clash.
But stilllll, that isn't an excuse for me not to be reading abt Rasulullahﷺ or devoting some time for maulid, etc. Boleh baca sendiri apaaa... *slaps myself lightly*
bring your iPad n read from iBook! Banyak khazanah menanti utk diterokai sebenarnya~ huhu)

K dah, tido! Time check: 1:13 am.

And just last week, u read an article abt the benefits of sleeping and rising early (10pm to 2/3/4am) and intending to put that into practice.................................

Banyaknya nak kene urus & atur & ubah!
Niatkan yang Baik!
Banyak2!
Azam!
Usaha!
Do'a!
Moga Allah Ta'ala Redha!
Moga Rasulullahﷺ happy & bangga!

punye diriku yg hina ini sbg umatnya... *weeps again*

Masih terlalu banyak dunya...
Went swimming with Huda n the kids @sis's place this morning, followed by a treat at Pastamania for the family who're able to join - Mom, Kak Munah, Nasuha, the kids n me :)

at night, still found myself agitated too much due to worldly stuffs -this time my royal jelly honey which someone used too much of it to make popcorns (yg tak sampai setengah container pun).

was so angry.
Then disappointed with myself for getting too worked out over dunya!

macam mana nak merealisasikan do'a 
"Allahumma la taj'al ad-dunya akbara hammina.." eh? :((((

Counting ma steps..
25 Safar 1437H

Finally received the Steps Tracker (in conjunction with the National Steps Challenge organised by Sg's Health Promotion Board) last Saturday.

A day of heavy, heavy rain. Been quite some time since I last walked n walked under a downpour. Felt so happy walking in the rain :D

Meanwhile, I noticed that the Steps Tracker kinda motivates me to really be on the move...

And made me realise the stark relation b/w this HPB 'initiative' and what we were taught in Islam:

That all our steps towards goodness are rewarded; with each step, sins are forgiven, and the closer/higher we get to Him :')

Having said all these, am a bit disappointed with myself for not attending Mufti's Tafsir dars at Darul Makmur last night. tsk.

Be more motivated & strong-willed O Khadijah!!!

I-O-K!
21 Safar 1437H

Trip to Kota Tinggi for Cousin's (Cinoy's) wedding, followed by Convocation ceremony at IIUM for the Postgraduate Diploma in Islamic Thought and Civilisation with schoolmates.

Last night, had dinner with my tutee and his mom at Northpoint. Might be our last session together since he chose to pursue his secondary education at Madrasah Al-Arabiah...
Oh Raihan Vito~~

This afternoon, had lunch with JMS-mates, Mudir and MUIS officers (kak Farah and kak Warin :)) at Swensen's ION. 

Tonight, gonna have a date with Ruqayyah Ramli (poly mate yg dah berzamannnn ku tak jumpa!) while watching the opening ceremony of the 8th Paragames @Sg Indoor Stadium insyaAllah. My first time for this kinda thing. Niatkan memenuhi jemputan teman, mendapat inspirasi dari mereka yang Istimewa... Moga lebih mensyukuri & memaksimakan potensi dan ni'mah yang Allah Ta'ala Kurniakan selama ini... :')


(Saw that 'Made in Heaven' poster whilst at IIUM. 4th Dec!! #cairrrr)

Hehe. 
Btw had lots of good time at KL with Kak Marlia & Umar kecik (see pic) yg menurut ibunya (Aisyah Azman) telah terpaut denganku.. Haha! #sayangUmarjuga
