typical usrah session

i've been in the same usrah group since 1st year. my usrahmates are also my best friends.

our current naqibah is the 4th one. each naqibah had their own style and we learnt a lot from all of them.

we discuss a lot of issues and topics during our sessions.

everyone's consciousness level fluctuates during our sessions. gilir2 tidur sebab semua selalu kepenatan. presenter je tak boleh tidur hehe.

i'll miss my friends terribly when we graduate. but i know we will always have each other as our hearts are binded by iman inshaAllah.

as told by jo

i am from johor. i just moved to kuantan a few months back to help awla move about in kuantan.

the journey to kuantan was ok. during my 2nd week i bumped into a car because awla didn't adjust her side mirror well. my backside is still dented until today because she doesn't have the time to go send it to the workshop for repair.

i dont go to the hospital everyday. sometimes awla catches a ride with her roomie or takes a bus to school so i'm left at the mahallat car park. i'm not scared to be left alone because there are so many cars around. i'm just worried when i'm parked by the big road during the day and the bus or garbage truck scratches my nice silver coat. i've enough scratch marks already. one day, awla left me there during the day and a nice security guard passed by and saw me. he immediately put a white piece of paper on my wiper just like the one given by the police traffic at the jhc bus stop. i dunno what it said but it definitely made awla mad and she never left me there again. which is a good thing alhamdulillah.

the RM25 parking fine. grrrrrr...

one day, some guy came and stole my right lower light. i don't remember when or how it happened but awla only noticed it when she drove me to jhc. she guessed it was a theft as there was no signs of trauma around the site and the wire was sticking out. it was embarrassing. i looked like someone with a missing tooth. alhamdulillah, i could still function. my main lights were ok. it was just a cosmetic problem. i had to wait for her to get her scholarship before she could buy me a new light.

last week, the weather was rather hot. awla doesn't usually leave my windows open a bit so i get quite stuffed inside. it was so hot that my rear-view mirror cracked. she didn't come see me for several days so she only realized it on friday. when she did notice it, she was so distraught that she was rather distracted the whole day. i got to know that she nearly lost her handphone that day and also caused two friends to become upset with her for not replying their messages.

alhamdulillah that friday evening, i was brought to the car accessories shop and awla bought a nice, long rear view mirror and a new front light. they only come in pairs (rm120) so now i have one spare left front light just in case someone wants to steal that one too. the nice chinese man installed my new light but it wouldnt function so i was referred to the wiring man. the wire-guy said that the thief cut off my socket too (whatever that means) but somehow he still managed to make the lights work. awla spent rm133 on me that day. i have to be thankful and perform well iA.

see my rongak front and new lights.

this is the nice chinese guy who fixed my light.

this is the wiring guy's son

my new mirror. i can see everything now.

then awla went to East coast mall to celebrate the occasion.

read here for an interesting report on the israeli attack on gaza

a near scare

my heart nearly stopped just now.

i thought i had lost my SE handphone. (well, handphones are some people's lifeline)

mentally, i retraced my steps. i went to the ward, then to the outpatient clinic, then stopped by the bookfair at ACC, walked pass the ATM, went to buy some food and then went to the campus to eat my lunch. only then did i notice the absence of my phone.

it wasn't at the place i always keep it, attached to a tali around my neck. i didn't notice it falling.

i asked my friend to call my number and the dial tone was present but no one was picking up. that offered some hope of it being found.

fearing the worst but hoping for the best, i retraced my steps. i walked back to the bookfair but it was nowhere to be found. there was no signs of it at the clinic too.

i tried to recall the last time i used it. i had detached it to take a picture of a brain CT scan showing external herniation of the brain post craniectomy for subdural haematoma. after that, i could not remember where i put my phone.

i walked anxiously and prayed so hard for my phone to be somewhere near the radiological viewing box at the nurse's counter. it was already visiting hours and many people were at the ward.

when i reached there, my phone was lying still on the trolley below the viewing box, just where i left it, in camouflaged by the stacks of white paper and other disorderly stuff . hehe. good thing the only people who go behind the counter are nurses, doctors and mecial students. no visitors allowed.

alhamdulillah thummalhamdulillah thummalhamdulillah.

ok, so its just a handphone. i wont die if i lose it. buuuuuuuut, nanti i'll lose all the phone numbers of people who i need to contact. life would be miserable.

pictures

after the absence of entries for some time, i just don't feel like writing many words.

i'll just put up pictures.

i have found another skin to write on.. haha. might not need pens and paper after this.

(caution: the act of writing on the skin is not painful but the inflammatory reaction following hurts a lot)

aisyah cut her own hair

ayyasy likes to pout. he was trying to emulate the steamstress with her measuring tape.

nawwaz developed a liking for his mak yang's sarung lengan and wouldn't give it back.

i was given the honour of naming these two hamsters aswad (black) and baidha' (white)

funds

if you had joined in the fast 2 fund campaign 2008 (Rejab, Sya`ban & Ramadhan 1429),

you would be happy to know that the overall collection ammounted to

RM 59076.67

and it has been sent to our palestinian brothers and sisters and also refugees elsewhere.

Allahu Akabar!

BUT,

they are still in need of plenty of funds so don't stop giving

and praying

it's the least we can do.
