The day I felt that my 'threshold' at work had been met.

Somehow.

such that when the last minute news that teachers involved in Survival Camp this Jumu'ah can leave work at 3pm, I checked out at around 3:09pm.

Despite myself.

Talaqqi.

All those papers/coupons/forms to be slotted into the report books.

To Ust Ismail who generously helped with the result slips n 1 item analysis (ni lagi satu!!!! I had NINE of that), May  Allah ﷻ Reward you abundantly...

It's just too much and unfair (note: this is my personal feeling and I might be mistaken) and would be much better if the Hamba Allah who was supposed to help me, cooperated well and volunteered to lend a hand...

(if only I was able to see it that way just now... What I know, today, I couldn't stand being at work any longer. I just.had.to.get.out.of.the.school.)

Need to pack for the camp (unfortunately, had JMS discussion on Friday morning till 12:30, then had to be in school by 6:30 pg again -on the same day- for the camp. Bcoz of JMS. Otherwise, teachers involved in the camp NEED NOT COME TO SCHOOL at all on FriDAY.

Next year, no more JMS for me pleaseeeee.... :'(((

I need to Return to Allah ﷻ...

I need to seek Strength from Al-Qawiyy,

The weak self needs to be recharged.

:'(((

The day I decided to take an MC.

Minor flu & phlegm-y throat + need for a break + need to Khidmah at home.

exam week so will be 'missing out' on invigilation and markings...

...

Trip to KL-Selangor last week was bittersweet. The journey took us much much longer than expected..

Qaddarallah... Allah nak didik kita untuk lebih berserah kepadaNya setelah merancang :')

Left home around 7:15am and reached TBS (the bus terminal) at around 5:05pm.

Siddiqah drove us to the walimah (which ended at 5pm) and we finally made it there at about 6pm.

Walaa' (our Syrian Arab friend who married a M'sian akh and will stay in KL) was so happy with Aalimah's and my presence, saying that she finally felt that it was really her haflah now that she at least know 2 of her guests (the rest are all relatives from the groom's side).

Alhamdulillah :')

Siddiqah then drove us to Jalan TAR a.k.a. Masjid India (8-10pm), then to TBS train station (komuter?) for us to take the train to Bangi station where kak Isma will fetch us. Waited for around half an hour for the (Last!) train to arrive at 11pm...

Next morning went to the KL International Book Fair (ard 10:30-1pm) and was so tempted that I spent most of my remaining RMs on boooooooks and Islamic magazines!

some of them will be gifts for my friends/relatives/kids, while others will be lent to those who wish to borrow :)

so that the benefit will continue to roll insyaAllah...

(gotta find time to READ these or encourage others to read as well... hee. and the space! Alhamdulillah muattt~ huhu)

Journey back home, on the other hand, was much much smoother than we's expected. Allah Maha Baik! :')

The Planting Month almost coming to an end...

with me planting almost nothing, i feel :'((

Need to buck up A LOT.

...

The discussion pertaining to this Jumu'ah's session on Come2again @Kak Nadia Hanim's place was an enriching one maasyaAllah. Eye-opening to discuss on the best possible ways to answer queries about Taubah on past wrongdoings...

Also make us realise how real and serious are the problems facing our Muslim Ummah in Sg. 

Nevertheless, all Thanks to Allah Ta'ala for Opening the Hearts.

Ultimately, it is Him who triggers the Hearts to repent and return to Him, isn't it? :')

...

This week I'm able to relax a bit, as exam questions are all set (n even printed)... Just waiting for papers (10 classes) to be marked...

Well, relax physically.

Mentally, I think I've been thinking too much about my students. Especially the Sec 2 boys. 

Spiritually, I've sooo much to improve on.

...

This Sat insyaAllah going to KL-Selangor with Alimatunnisa'. Mainly to attend a walimah of our Syrian Arab friend (!) to a M'sian akh insyaAllah :)

Thennnn it so happened that it coincides with the International Book Fair 2016 season!! How Kind is Allah :'))

insyaAllah will be back in Sg by Sunday night... And off to school the next morning, biidznillah!
