longer weekend :)

.....lovely sunday aint it? this morning i went to rang mahal with gbun but before we went to get immy a belated bday cake cos he was practically alone on his bday in the uk. now tht hes back, i finally got ard to lanja him and iffy the promised CHICKEN WINGS. hahahaha. had a great time.
i cudnt finish my piece of cake! yummy but i guess i was too full. hope u guys liked the cake immy and iffy! :)

last night i went to watch football with my best buddy and another two of our "L3G" geng. heheheh. it was awesommmme. DPMM Fc had beaten Albirex Niigata which was i think a combination of Japanese and Singaporeans? Well, anyway, throughout the first half the score was 1-0, with AN leading so it was pretty nerve wreckin and u have no idea how many types of doa came out! haha. thank God, tho, DPMM fc caught on with a feisty amount of 2 goals. it was fast and furious goals running against time. special mention to 25: Wardun who defended his post beyond well despite his injury. :))) i was too excited ive forgotten to take pics!

what i have taken was a pic of my bag. its a mess, i tell you! sometimes when ure a mom, u just chuck everything in. but me, i chuck things in anyway. haha, which makes it worse ever since ive been made a mom. huhuhu. but i can manage ;) school starts soon! im kinda excited but at the same time im worried. cos ada walker. hehehe. and MIB. hrmm. but ive been practising to speak more malay (yea ryt) but i'll try my best =)

and as u know ive a fetish for korean series, currently im watching......something with this lady in it. (i lupa the title, ahhahahaha) its like a sequence for Jumong.

tmrw is a religious holiday (isra' me'raj).. ive been reading a book on Nabi Muhammad (S.A.W) as a refresher course. cos sometimes we do tend to forget, Ya Allah tetapkanlah iman kami. Amin. Sesungguhnya we're really trying...

on tuesday i'll be going out insyallah with r27 for lunch. wednesday i'll be droppin by to UBD. wish me luck, ive applied for a hostel room there, hope i'll get a good spot!!! near my friends. my BELOVED FRENS. hahahah.

before i go i'd like to share a pic, well its been a while but yeah the msg is still very valid. make sure u drive carefully. and check tyres not to be too botak cos tht can impose real danger. think abt urself. think abt others. be a good citizen. salam.

im back!

... for good, i hope! hahahaha ;p
just don't know what to blog. well, right now, i know wht to blog. um, my hols. we've been having our hols since may n cos of the H1N1, i haven't been able to tk my n-bun out :( like i do when im really tempted. but tht doesnt happen often cos my motherly instinct wud come back in a blaze. anyway, its not the flu itself tht i particularly fear, its the whole quarantine issue. if a child gets it, will they be quarantined with no family member to visit? and like, n-bun is real shy, she refuses to eat or drink in front of ppl,let alone if its medicine. so yeah... worried banget gitu!

been bummin ard at home. sigh. i gained so much. i sprained my back btw. hahaha. so tht kinda leaves out any vigorous sports for the moment. it hurts hell sometimes, like i have difficulty sleeping. but i dont wana rely on painkiller or sleeping pills.

my school results havent been good, but itsmore than i deserve, ive been real occupied n stressed out for personal reason. but i do know better than to let anything get to me. my spirit has to be higher, and i am now more motivated to do well in the coming semester where my 3rd year begins.... wish me luck, n more importantly doakan :)

today i plan to kemas kemas my stuffs. my books n all. will tk pics ;p
Assalamualaikum.

:(

next week's due assignments.. plus JIS this monday. and discussion tomorrow morning for Maths and then 2.30 lagi for another coursework. heavy lagi tuuu the percentage. 100% pun ada. im just happy im on track, even tho its barely. God give me strength. Amin.

so tired. so much work. so many assignments. exams are drawing close. do u think i can do it? with all thts going ard??? so much holding up so much pain. i wanna be with my family. spend more time. ani work,work, work. i mean, is work, work, work really worth the precious time we could have used for loved ones?

tick, tock, tick. tock.

ah. i know i'll regret if i dont try my best. oh well. i'll be free after exams, anyway. cant give up. gotta go on. gotta be strong. life needs strength and determination. tawakal. dont waste time. dont let distractions and disheartening thoughts get to you. Focus, focus.

Salam~

finally stable.

hi hi Salam. i have been tryin to sleep but cant so i figure i'd just blog a while and then go to sleep. i have been struggling still this semester, but i finally feel more stable in terms of school work and the upcomin exams (ok, maybe im SO NOT ready for exams) but at least i feel like i have some control and direction of my course. its important tht u line these things out so tht ur objectives are clearer and the logistics of it is more obvious. doing work takes focus and consistency. once u get the hang of it, it gets simpler n u gain more confidence as well as experience. whatever u do, hold on and dont give up. keep trying n motivate urself. we can do it!!! focus!!! :)

speaking of focus, look at this table i had someone make hehehe. special thnks to ohana for recommending the dude. :D i kinda duplicate those tables from library cos i can sooo focus with this table. seriously!! like i can be on task for hours and feel geeky (in a good way:) and smart. its small but i like it this way. guess "learning styles" do matter. plug in my iPod n im good to go!

im very karit with myself, hahaha but i splurge when its necessary to education. this costs $300. pffft. so tht means i have to save more this coming month, but oh well hope it'll be a good investment. the shelves at the side is cos i get lazy if my books are jauh. this table is now in my room next to my book cabinet.

anyhoo. i went to this reptile exhibition with n-bun and g-bun. we sent off my in laws n like, we had some other stuffs planned tht day so we went straight to the exhibition in ubd. there were many types of snakes and monitos lizrds. one like reall bigggg. like the head sama like a human adult's. and panjang. like i try to life it but heavy. n-bun kissed it tho!! like ahahaha. she was petting it as if it was a cat. ah bless her. i was real happy g-bun bawa kami sana. thanks hubby. the only problem was, nbun nda takut the snakes. she loved them BUT shes real shy with the ppl. kan she pemalu. so yeah. this is me with a tiny cutey snake (AND nbun!) wrapped ard my hand (and foot respectively, haha). so cute the tongue this one, i wntd to bring it home as a pet!!! huhuhu but gbun said no. and i know my mummy wud say no jua!! ;p and my dad, omggg. hahaha.

muxch love =) -assalamualaikum-

email.

I'm not big on forwardedmsgs. the reasons i dont forward them most of the time is bcos i dunno the kesahihan (? haha) or the confirmation of how true it is. sometimes when an email says say this this this, cos its a surah from the Al-Qur'an, i dont forward cos i takut im spreading the wrong things n stuffs. heres an email i found in my inbox. if theres any doubt abt it, pls do leave some comments and enlighten us =)

Listed below are the 7 Common mistakes usually we make in prayers

Mistake 1: Reciting Surat al-Fatiha fast without pausing after each verse. The Prophet (SAW) used to pause after each verse of this surah. (Abu Dawood)

Mistake 2: Sticking the arms to the sides of the body, in rukoo' or sujood, and sticking the belly to the thighs in sujood. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: "Let not one of you support himself on his forearms (in sujood) like the dog. Let him rest on his palms and keep his elbows away from his body." (Sahih Muslim). The Messenger of Allah (SAW) used to keep his arms away from his body during rukoo' and sujood that the whiteness of his armpits could be seen (Sahih Muslim).

Mistake 3: Gazing upward during prayer. This may cause loss of concentration. We are commanded to lower our gaze, and look at the point at which the head rests during sujood. The Prophet (SAW) warned: "Let those who raise their gaze up during prayer stop doing so, or else their sights would not return to them i.e. lose their eyesight]." (Muslim)

Mistake 4: Resting only the tip of the head on the floor during sujood. The Prophet (SAW) said: "I am commanded to prostrate on seven bones the forehead and the nose, the two hands [palms], the two knees, and the two feet." (Sahih Muslim) Applying the above command necessitates resting the forehead and the nose on the ground during sujood.

Mistake 5: Hasty performance of prayer which does not allow repose and calmness in rukoo' or sujood. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) saw a man who did not complete his rukoo' [bowing], and made a very short sujood [prostration] ; he (SAW) said: "If this man dies while praying in this manner, he would die upholding a religion other than the religion of Muhammad." Abu Hurairah (RA) said: "My beloved friend, Muhammad (SAW) forbade me to perform postures of prayer copying the picking of a rooster; (signifying fast performance of prayer), moving eyes around like a fox and the sitting like monkeys (i.e. to sit on thighs)." (Imam Ahmad & at-Tayalisi) The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: "The worst thief is the one who steals from his own prayer." People asked, 'Messenger of Allah! How could one steal from his own prayer?' He (SAW) said: "By not completing its rukoo' and sujood." (At Tabarani & al-Hakim). To complete rukoo' is to stay in that posture long enough to recite 'Subhana rabbiyal Adtheem' three times, SLOWLY, and 'Subhana rabbiyal-a'ala' three times, SLOWLY, in sujood. He (SAW) also announced: "He who does not complete his rukoo' and sujood, his prayer is void." (Abu Dawood & others)

Mistake 6: Counting tasbeeh with the left hand The Prophet (SAW) used to count tasbeeh on the fingers of his right hand after salah. Ibn Qudamah (RA) said: "The Messenger of Allah (SAW) used his right hand for tasbeeh." (Abu Dawood). The above hadeeth indicates clearly that the Prophet (SAW) used only one hand for counting tasbeeh. No Muslim with sound mind would imagine that the Prophet (SAW) used his left hand for counting tasbeeh. Aishah (RA) said that the Prophet (SAW) used his left hand only for Istinjaa', or cleaning himself after responding to the call of nature. He never used it for tasbeeh. Yasirah (RA) reported: The Prophet (SAW) commanded women to count tasbeeh on their fingers. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: "They (the fingers) will be made to speak, and will be questioned (on the Day of Resurrection)" (At-Tirmidhi). The above Hadeeth indicates that it is preferable to count tasbeeh on the fingers of the right hand than to do so on masbahah (rosary).

Mistake 7: Crossing in front of a praying person. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) warned: "Were the one who crosses in front of a praying person to know the consequences of doing so, he would have waited for *forty better than to cross in front of him." (Sahih Bukhari and Muslim). *The forty in the tradition may be days months or even years. Allah knows best.

last saturday.

Assalamualaikum. last last saturday, i "went" to an open house. (i did go kan, raccoon eyes??? ;p) and it was packed. like packedpacked. there was only a few times i saw some tables empty but not for long. but Alhamdulilah it seemed to have went well. n-bun was dancin and we had loads of fun tht night =)

anyway. few days ago i told n-bun she was going to school and that i told her to dress-up for school on her own in hopes that she'll be more enthusaiastic and hopefully she'll look forward to school. and she ended up wearing a pink shirt, long pink pants, with a blue skirt, and a summer hat. ahaha, i dunno what she thinks of school. lol.

anyhoo. school has been much more stable now. yay. like, busy busy jua but at least we werent as lost as we were in the beginning of the semester. thank God for tht. what have i been doing ah? ive been reading more Archie lately, since i have the time, and it helps me focus, for some reason.

oh and ive also been fasting, im trying to do at least six days, since it is still bulan Syawal. just trying to "accumulate points" and trying to impress the One up there.. after all, isnt He who made us?.. mudah-mudahan all our amalan and ibadah diterimaNya. Amin.

my sis has been helpin me out with my stats. shes trying to teach me to "get it" but i just dont"get it", get it? like advanced stats is almost nothin like the stats ive learned duluu when i was younger. well the basic stuffs ada plang but hhmph.

anyhoo. ive a presentation tomorrow. its abt problems encountered in teaching/ learning maths. wish me luck :)

i finally have time to play squash again. after like... what 4 months? boooo. squash de-stresses me. like i feel my stress draining out of me and like last month ive been sickly and asthmatic so yeah. but when youre stable, sports is actually good for your asthma. so im gonna go play at a cousins house nearby ard 3.30. i puasa plang, so shhhh dont tell Mummy =p

btw, i just wana thank all those ppl whos still here for me. who understand my situations despite me being busy hectic. those who cheer me up in the weirdest moments and those who help by just being there. i wish i wasnt this busy with school n whatnot. i hope i'll have more time in the afternoons soon. muxch love.thank you, you you you. and you,. and you jua lah. :)
