~ ramadhan ~

Ramadhan Mubarak everyone! May this Ramadhan bring lots of happiness and keberkatan in our life. What i like the most about this Ramadhan is tarawih, why? Hmm, because i'm doing my tarawih in Masjid Wilayah. Beautiful place and the imams was very good. One thing i like to share is about the iqamat time. This is for me the first time praying without any barrier between male and female just a rope to divide between male praying area and female praying area. So, i can see what happen around the male area, not that i enjoy looking, just looking. What makes my heart warmth is everytime the imam iqamat for isya' prayer, the men from all sides of the mosque walked towards that voice, towards the calling. Everyone moved together to the front and the view from behind it was as if they were moving towards one goal. It really makes me want to cry since this is the first time i saw such things. Why not azan time, because after azan people were scattered around to do the solat sunat.


One more thing is about sadaqah. Since the first day i prayed there, there is 1 man who will always put in a red coloured ringgit malaysia note into the tabung derma near the main door. As i observed, this happened everyday without fail and always red coloured note. I fell ashamed because i, myself did not do that often enough. It's not that i dont want to, it just at the female area there are no tabung derma ( alasan saja aina ni!) So i respect him and pray that his life will be blessed. Well, buka time is always the same every year. I have to control my 'nafsu makan' to not overeat, so not to affect my maghrib prayer. So i proudly said my control this year has been very good. ( a bit better, hehe)


yummy!

ai-na : i got black eye today! MC..

~ 1 2 3... ~

from the big, big pipes to the small, small pipes. from the mother coil turning into pipes. all have been counted and noted. a great experience and very knowledge-able! when i was first asked to be involved in the stock take, a bit furious and disgruntled because, it's on the bloody weekend, when it is actually the time i want to sleep in and lazed about! but, oh well, i'm glad i went even though it took us 12 hours to finish it, and i have to go to office earlier than i usually did. so yeah, its fun! haha

ai-na: mind and heart clashes..

~ G8 in my heart ~

After a few years of no contacts and meetings, finally we met up today in Gombak. It took sometimes to plan this meeting but finally we managed to get through. Thanks to those who work hard for making it happened today, although not all of us manage to gather together but it still something, the not so formal reunion of generation 8 of the Hidayah Johor school. After a very long time of not being together, everyone already have their own life, some of us still studying here and overseas, some of us already working, lots of stories to tell, experience to share and new friendship were bond. It is a very special meeting. I remember one of the boys saying how happy and grateful he is of finally able to meet again with all the friends and the feeling of fullness in his heart. Some of us may think how lame its sound but some may understand it. He is considered as a new member of our generation since he joined the school in Form 4 but the bond that were created is strong enough for him to feel the ukhwah within us. You see, some of us have been together since we were Standard 1. From the naughty and clumsy little boys and girls, now to a refined gentleman and ladies. We fought, we cried and we being friends again. No matter how many years have gone, we will still remember our memories of each other, maybe not all of us but it will be there in our heart. Someday I hope that we all can be together again in much different environment and situation, to share the stories of our journey in life. Like one of us said, we have to hope that we will meet again together in Jannah. InsyaAllah.

ai-na : happy and elated but now back to real life, work!!

~ experience the world ~

Am so tired but cant help feeling excited. I cant wait to start working tomorrow! The whole day today is just briefing and registration and information on IT awareness, security and such. Make new friends, whoop!

~ come home ~

Finally after almost 9 month away, i'm coming home. My bus to London will be at 0615 this morning and my flight will be at 2200 tonight. Excited, overwhelmed and slightly disgruntled. Why? Because my suitcase is bloated and heavy! I cant seem to make up my mind, therefore i packed quite a lot of my stuff to bring home. Cant wait to be home, i want to sleep till the next day. I'm sooo tired of packing and moving stuff even though i got help. First thing to do when i arrive at the gate, i want to hug my ummi and abah and dont want to let go! Haha, eventually i have to let go. So, goodbye for now, i will sorely miss you...Exeter! (hahaha!) I'll be with you again next term and right now i'm going to the other side of the world! WooHoo!

ai-na : what a day!

~ end of.. ~

finally, after all the hard work going through the whole 2nd year (really? i thought i played all the year) and facing great obstacles (exams!!!) now is the time for rest before back to study this oct for 3rd year (aww man!). Examless till end of the year, hurrah! Now, i have to start packing all the stuff to move out and to go home! Oh, i hate packing and anything related to it..but i cant wait to go back to Malaysia, i missed everyone but certainly not the weather! haha..

last week i cant wait to finish my exams, but now that i gain my freedom i am clueless of what to do other than packing. i want to travel but not enough $$$, so i'll have to wait. i want to go here

and here

and here

and here

and lots of other places. Lots of dreams to achieve but with limited resources. That's what we called life. So, for the next few days i need to plan my day, yes!

ai-na : Life ain't easy, but it's worth living it..
