0verwhelmed..

Spending Ramadhan in IIU is a beautiful experience. Other than the usual flood of people hurrying to perform prayers at the call of the adzan, terawih prayers at the mosque is always full of makmum. The mosque itself seems more alive than usual. One thing I noticed about the significance of the IIU mosque is that it's being used to its max. I'm shur the mosque feels really appreciated. There's always classes and talks held n the classrooms on the 1st ground of the mosque. There's everyday tazkirahs or what they call 'religious classes' after 'asr and maghrib prayers. It's held in Arabic. Although I don't understand completely on what's being said but I have come to noticed that listening to Arabic talks gave me such an overwhelming emotion. (Berangan dok negara arab kot haha..)



I have to be thankful that I'm placed in my college. It’' the nearest college to my kuliyyah. The path provided to reach the campus ground is roofed so I am sheltered from the rain. My college is situated on top of a hill and overlooks the center of the campus. my wings' windows' (and above's) provides it's residents the most beautiful view among all other colleges. We get to view the mountains, beautiful sunset and sunrise views..and we get to hear everything from the mosque clearly..



So we hear adzan every prayer times everyday, every months, all year around..what no one ever told me about IIU and Ramadhan was that, during Ramadhan, other than the existence of bazaar Rmdhn, sambutan yg hangat towards solat tarawih and solat jamaah is that, the mosque also celebrate qiam during the last ten nights of Ramadhan.



I have never heard or come to know of any mosque that does the same in mesia! It would be really nice to hear so lah, of course. Me and my girls sleep late every night; including tonight. Just when the clock ticked 3 pm, we heard iqamat at the mosque (on mic of course) so we were like, 'god, is it subuh alredi?'



Turns out they were ber'qiam'ing…it's been 35 minutes since the jamaah prayers' started. I think it'll last till Subuh prayer. I hope that this will encourage everyone to qiam..after all. The last ten nights of Ramadhan has arrived. May we get to meet the Lailatul Qadr..ameen..

check this out...

hehe..Alumni skarang dah ntah pape..musim final kot..well understood..hahah...i shur had fun reading this mail..i never knew umayr could speak a language so perfect-0-ly other than English..hehe..(pakcik..jangan marah ya..bulan Ramadhan ini..penuh barakah..)

Arakian bermulalah kisah sebuah negeri tak ternama...

Negeri tersebut tergelarlah oleh keramaian PaLS atau pendek bagi Persatuan Alumni SMIH... Alkisah negeri tersebut berkehendakkan membuat iftar atau majlis berbuka beramaian atas cadangan seorang bijaksana bergelar Sang Pengarah Wardah... Maka tercetuslah:


Iftar Alumni SMIH


Akan tetapi setelah dihikayatkan kepada ramai rakyat jelata serta ahli Alumni, maka terdapatlah Sang Pengarah akan ketidaksesuaian masa... Maka berfikirlah Sang Pengarah dan tibalah ia pada satu pendapatan... bahwasanya perlu ada:



PERUBAHAN TARIKH!!

dari
30 Oktober 2005

ke
28 Oktober 2005


Maka bertanyalah sekalian rakyat jelata, "Di manakah hendaknya Iftar Alumni SMIH diadakan?". Maka berkatalah, pembantu Sang Pengarah, Sang Pengarah Dua 'Umayr:

Di
Pejabat JIM
Taman Sri Putri
Skudai



Alkisah berkata pula Tun Tukang Masak Farhana;

Menu Utama
Nasi Ayam

"Tuanฒ hamba juga dipersila untuk membawa buah dan kuih...
Cadangan tuanฒ hamba juga dialuฒkan..."



Maka berkatalah Sang Pengarah Dua;

"Haa! Kalau nak sedap, baik balas cepat..."


Maka berkatalah Sang Pengarah Dua lagi;

"Barangsiapa yang bergelar WAKIL BATCH, tidak ku kira WAKIL BATCH mana (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 atau 6)... Hamba persilakan untuk menjemput ahli BATCHmu... Jangan biarkan rakanmu tertinggal... Teramatlah kasihan seandainya terjadi. "

-haha..gelak puas2-

Akan bersambung... Dengan tentatif program... Tunggu ya!

brrrr....it's cold in here! i said brr...

i just sat for MLS paper..g0wd..the room was freezin' cold..my hands were numb. kak shara (she sat nex to me) her hands was shakin'!! i tell you, it was like winter back in England. i think my brain went numb too..seriously..i was practically running for the loo and we ran straight out in the sun..(tu lah slalu komplen mesia panas..look who's runnin' to the sun now eh?)

lets not talk bout the paper.my hands feel like it can just fall out of it's socket anytime...maybe the government should start a new budget for law students so they can supply hundreds of computer for law students to use to answer exams instead of having tto write witha pen..god! tiring i tell you..

ehniways...4 papers to go and i'm over this sem!*hold on ryhn!!*

Contract?...never!

only God knows how my days were waiting to get over Conract 1 today. me and and Contract..we're like water and oil and the whole theory bout emulsion and stuff? it wun work in my situation..



why is contract even made a subject?i mean, isnt better if we learn the practical side of it? trips to the mall is always a good idea? owh! how about;



'each student taking the subject is given a budget by the government for the sem. and they have to spend it wisely and keep track and take note of all the kinds of contract they enter into. pay regular visits to the Civil courts to hear cases pertaining to Contracts..etc..'



anything! anything but theories on Law of Contract..even in matric, i'd always end up crying the night before contract paper to my mom on the phone (call me brat.cry baby. whatever u want! try be in my shoes!)



sigh..(oops..sighing is not soleh...i take that back.)



seriously..i have to work harder..gotta change my style of studying contract for nex sem..
(yahha..got Contract 2 nex sem..sheesh..i dunno what more's there to learn...whoa..i take that back..ilmu is never ending..yeah..i knwo..i know..)



anyways..i'm glad i am still alive right this moment. i seriously thought that i'd either pass out during the exam or just fall dead the moment i step out of the class. thank God neither one occured.. i know..i know..none ever in history experienced that.. it's just the nervousness and the symptoms that studnts face before exams..



i was so drained and exhausted after the contract but it did felt like a huge heavy weight of a boulder was lifted of my shoulder when i finished answering the paper. honestly, if u ask me; it wasnt as bad as i expected..i mean, i expected myself spending 2 hours (of the 3 hours) not knowing what to write, fiddling with my pen..and all..but alhamdulillah (ketepikan the question whether the answers are correct or not); alhamdulillah..i managed to ramble and rant and goreng stuff...



2 down. 5 more papers to go and holiday's CAPITAL on my schedule! Bahasa Melayu Kerjaya and Contract done.hrmm..did i make any remarks on BMK paper? urg..better not start on that. i'd probably be bashed by all the proud Malays and A.Samad Said and all the sasterawans are probably gonna send a memorandum to the government suggesting to throw me and bann me of the land of Malaya..seriously..i dah tatau ape nak buat..its so teruk...especially the 'sapaan berhormat' thing..dun start saying (like most of my frens do) 'dun worry ..it cant be that bad..'
owh..i tell you..it is worse...out of 8 questions..its a miracle i can get 2 right! serious!..perlu ka classify people with the darjat and all..? dun all humans have the same amount of legs, nose,arms,eyes..(not including those wit specs lah) yeah, u get the idea...oh well..



gotto start reading MLS..its up on Monday..god bless

reasons..

a respond of a friend when asked the question :
'7 reasons why one must stay positive in life and reasons to stay alive'

1. cz negative people usually get lonely funerals.(no friends)

2. cz being positive and optimistic after life is a bit too late;
especially in front of the dudes questioning u in the grave.

3. cz optimism and positiveness is the usually the best traits of ignorant people.
(dumb but at least he/she is nice)

4. cz i heard dying sucks. when TNB said that they purposely left some places unlit, they included the graves(that means no TV)

5. cz lesser live malaysians means lesser waterfor the singaporeans.
(i mean they cant just live on their own piss-help 'em out)

6. cz dying is expensive.(the grave, batu nisan,the ceremony, the invitations for the kenduri)

7. cz dying encourages hypocracy.
(suddenly everone is crying for u and pretending that they actually care)

heh..puas i gelak..(never fail to make me laugh..thanx buddy)

i was having a bad day and just thought of the question..so i asked and as weird as the answer is; it's good to know that u can turn to a friend who'll never fail to lift ur mood..u know what i mean? hahaha..*ketawe lagik*

what's ur reasons?

---ape nak jadik?!?!?---

again, yesterday..i slept at 4..this time..stayed up all night with maz dora mun daad and fara...



and yes, again, woke up at 11 am. but today earlier than yesterday. i woke up at 1110am instead of 1140am..see..(and they say, today has to be better than yesterday) thank god Contract's class was at 12



i've always wanted to perm my hair..(but got a no-no from my mom..) so widaad said she'll bring her hair-styler and we'll play2 with our hair..so she did yesterday..and we opened up 'salon' lah after derang (maz fara mun and widaad) came back from buka kat kader...



my hair tak jadik coz degil sangat..so then widaad gave up..then maz pulak kerja kan my hair..pun give up huhu...tu yang pastu mula dapat idea..'ryhn, u shud try get a fringe done' etc...and then, suddenly there i was, maz snippin' my hair and me cutting hers..hoho...and that was like at 3am or sumthing..



so now maz's hair look sumthing like Beyonce's hairdo for loreal's hair color adv in Cleo..serious..and plus the fact that Maz rebonded her hair..lawa banget..she so look like Dian..(Maz! i still think ur eyes are the factor u look seiras Dian)



wahid pulak bukak facial stall..ngeh2..mask muke sume orang...



sahur plak, we all sapu..(here's the list) :

• nasi putih 2 bungkus + tomyam mama cafe sebungkus + telur dadar satu (thanx of wahid and her wallet)
• ikan keli seekor (yes..seekor..share wit all..maz bawak balik dr rumah.bibik dia masak)
• keropok ikan pedas separa lemau se packet (again, maz bawak balik also)
• a loaf of banana cake (nyummy banget!!! widaad bawak balik)
• some dried up strawberries ( widaad's also.i ddin't eat that..too sweet for my likings)
• and a lot more snacks..
  
  

and people, we shared it all between 7 of us..hoho...again, sharing is caring..

sigh..

1st paper this thursday..

*note to sue: yes, my hair is now different..dun worry ..i managed to stop myself (or anyone ) from shaving it bald hahahaa..

and yet...another day...g0ne!!

ohkay..so much for yesterday's words of spirit. alas...i managed to get myself off the bed at 1145am..and still..that's not good! okay. so i slept at 430 yesterday. me, kak ida and nurul couldnt get ourself to tido so we stayed upa nd chatted til sahur haha..makan mee ruskee and mee gorenga dabi kongsi 3 orang..(not because we didnt have enuff packets mind u but because we believe that 'sharing is caring' hahaha)

for someone who tak geti (ala2 nadz) tido siang..am now sleeping too much..and when i say 'managed to get myself off my bed; i meant, managed to open my eyes..as in sedar dari tido. bukan dah jaga, then golek2..nope.not like that.

anyways..hmm..sigh.,.owh! at least i managed to get hold of some notes on Contract! ngeh ngeh...ada kemajuan what.. (mind u, am still holding on to Contracts' notes right now..heh..hope i'll get the kesedaran to actually read it)

.....Another day....wasted?

alhamdulillah, am still alive today..

i am quite disappointed with myself today...i have successfully wasted a whole day of working-hours..i dare say i haven't achieved much today...*muke upset sket*

had halaqah exam this morning..left the hall early. it was around 945ish. then, accompanied fara to go visit the 'compound office' (ehhe..which was closed by the way..being ignorant beings, we forgot that people dun work nmore on saturdays).

nways, then i headed back to my room. it was around 1030ish. i got myself all comfortable and snuggled underneath my ever so cozy and warm blanket (*note..it was a rainy morning and the weather was quite cold..very appropriate for one to keep herself warm) stuffed my ears with my discman's earphones and grabbed a novel to keep me company til i fell sleep (*again..note: finals are scheduled in less than a week)

and it was at 425ish PM (note: PM!!) when i woke up and see light (which was not much to see coz the weather's not so sunny today..it was mendung and was definitely going to rain again..)

see?!? a whole day wasted! just like that! i planned only for a 2 hours nap.. (note: i am not even a 'tido-siang' person!! urgh!!) ohkay..so i did do something good today..hmm..let me list 'em down eh ..(for self-comforting purposes huhu)

• i teman fara to go to the compound-office (eventho it was closed...i succeeded in keeping her company while walking...)
• i sat for the halaqah paper..(hey, i could have just ignored the fact that i have an exam today and just continued my morning sleep..it was raining..what a perfect weather to stay in bed!!-my mom wud kill me if she knew i even thot of this-)
• i kept nurul company walking to the exam hall and also to go check her seat number..(it was raining okay..but i still was happy to teman her..ikhlas weh)
• i answered aisya's call and walked to lubna's room to pass her message..(Lubna is my neighbor heh)
• i tidied my study table and sorted out my notes
• i 'puasa' today! (fulfilling my obligation towards God the Almighty!)

okay..so i was supposed to study today..at least, i intended to do so.(does the phrase 'it's the thought taht counts' relevant here?)

oh well..i will do so tomorrow!! and i will not sleep after subuh so that i can accomplish more 'missions-in-life' tomorrow!!

>>TODAY<<

dun ask why..i got some spare time today so here i am in the computer lab..just for fun, browsed for skins that might catch my eyes and this one did..i have no say how long this skin will be used...oh well..just to show am still alive and kicking...

i've finished my end-term tests..terrible they are..if they were a living being..i would strangle 'em all with all the strength that i have..haha...sigh...why do we need examz? somebody hit me hard with an answer to that please..

my final's will be starting next week..i hope i could cover all the topics..kalau tak..hehe..as usual..menggoreng lah jawabnye...(which is definitely not good..)

i think i have a major attitude problem..sigh...

Ramadhan Al-Mubarak...Ramadhan Kareem..

ahlan wasahlan ya Ramadhan....

my first Ramadhan without my family...and i'm doin' okay..(seriously..)
am pretending to be a student studying oversea
...heck..that's not much of a big deal since there's a large number
of foreigners here in UIA (duh..international..)
..at times i'd always go like..
"remind me again, am i in malaysia or sum other country?"
and that's one of the best things studying in UIA you know..
integrity, diversity...yeah,we celebrate all that..

anways..it's only the 2nd day of Ramadhan....quite tiring since it's tests' week..a lot of 'memerah otak'..still, iAllah a lot of barakah will be gained..

went to Bazaar Ramadhan yesterday..my God..perlu lah kan site bazaar kat tempat yg ter amat lah 'luas'..it's just like any other pasar malam..packed and all..urgh.

*note: ryhn hates pasar malam..*

nways..the thing is..i was expecting the bazaar to be sumthing like convess..proper stalls etc..
frustnye saye..i dare say yesterday myte be the first and the last time my visit there..

>>still holdin' on...stayin alive..<<

i am right now at my college's CC..no big deal..



i am wearing yani's jacket and tudung...still no big deal..gurls share their wardrobes hahaha



things is..truth is..i'm locked out of my own room!!! FALSE IMPRISONMENT!!!



i was out in yani's room..doin' my asssignment..then when i went back to my room, the door was lock!!my roomate went out and i guess they assumed i got my key wit me...waduh..yani plak had to go off for a dinner at the moot court..saya nggak ada tempat utk tujui..and i was (note:i was) really excited and in the mood to start reading sumthin' on contract..and now am forced to go find sumthing fun to do til i get inside my room. i dunno where nurul and kak ida went lah..



well..am right now online..and thank god there's at least someone to talk to...and meB after this when da kene halau dari CC nih (or bcoz dah kering duit huhu) i might go watch cerekarama or sumthin'..see how pathetic my saturday night is!!!!

******************************************************



yesterday rented a car...wanted to go to makdut's for a while..its a friday so most of my frens aren't around...its soo sad..*skipping out on details*



my point here is..the wisdom and hikmah behind things that happened to us..

nways, so yeah..then i thot of kak Bie and so i textd her and she's like, yeah, i'll come wit u then we can go to join kak aisyah and the rest..turns out that there's a talk by this one pakcik prof guy..i was like yippee..shur i dun mind..not like i have any other plans pon after leaving makdut's.



so we stopped at makdut's and had dinner..had a chat for a while then left for keramat..this Prof gave a talk bout management and stuff in the eprspective of a Muslim and he was great at it..i enjoyed the talk..it was quite informal..overall..i am glad i thot of kak Bie and it turned out that God planned for me to go out with her and to go to the talk..
