HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012

Time flies fast. Exactly and truthfully. As I've been promising earlier with you guys especially my dear Zealous 0610, I'll going to release the full music video of my video comeback, "The Awakening". So, I hope you guys will enjoy the video. I took a month to create the main concept for this video. There's nothing really special about this video except I put the value of my friendship in the video. I want everyone to see how meaningful our school days were. They only came once and never come back. Time heals the pain of missing them but you'll never forget them. This is the gift for the one that recognises friends and your positive feedbacks are the special priceless gifts to me for the beginning of the new year. Have a good day and see you soon in my another post.

For some reasons, I posted this photo. I'll love to view this photo whenever I miss my high-school moments. I know it has only been a year since the last day I was a form 5 student but since I am a person who really honouring the friendship value in my life, I can't get rid and hold myself from pretending to be cool, not to drop any tears on my cheek whenever I reminisce my old days at school. This is me and I'm still the same. Recently, I've been dreaming about them and on the last two days I dreamt about us holding a reunion. That will so be a dream. As I viewed back the photos, I remembered some of the moments when we were happy and united, also there were time where were quarrelling over something. We were just kids and immature. Just finished browsing for some quotes and found the best one so far. Take care guys. Keep the awesomeness in you and never forget that we're one big family. How sweet aren't we?

Happiness is time spent with friends and looking foward to sharing time with them again.

Are You Still Complaining?

2011-12-06T22:25:00.001+08:00

How I wish I could express my appreciation and say "Alhamdulillah", "praises to Allah" and "thank you Allah" whenever I get and receive His infinite blessings. I forgot. The fact is each seconds when the time passed is very valuable and means a lot to us. We breath each second and if the process stops, we might never be able to pursue our dreams. In another cases, we can see how a student would make a good use of even a minute in the class before the next teacher comes in to complete the unfinished tasks and homework. See? Though, most of us even me, tend to complaining before appreciating. Sometimes I babbled a lot if I do not have much time to complete the assignments given by lecturers. Pathetic! I forgot that Allah has already given me 24 hours to spend the period wisely for certain purpose. My phone starts to look less attractive. And I'm still complaining?

Each day, each night we are being surprised by His wonderful gifts of blessings. And the most priceless gift is the gift of iman. Who do we think we are to keep complaining? Have we ever thought about our brothers and sisters who have been living a hard life, starving for food and having failure in sustaining life. Now only I know why sharing is caring. Even if you can't share some of you finance with them, why don't you share your love? Love has a powerful wonderful light that can only be seen by ones who are sincere in lending hands to others. While I'm writing this, my laptop hanged for awhile. I sighed. And I'm still complaining?

Let's say "ALHAMDULILLAH" :)

Even Time Passes, Friends Do Not

2011-10-09T23:24:00.000+08:00

Back to the last week of month September. It was the week which my final examination for the first semester took place. Formally, the examination started a few days ago but since I'm not taking English language course so I would say that my paper only started on Monday. Examination week was a tiring period. You couldn't even let yourself lazying around and doing nothing. I repeat, you can't; unless you're super smart and genius enough. I spent a few days before the week for studying the most terrifying subject for me which was Basic Themes of Al-Quran (abbrev: BTQ). The subject requires one to memorise and comprehend the true religion of Islam in advance. Instead of working hard for understanding the concept of each topics that I learnt, I've to memorise a few wonderful of Qur'anic verses which were extracted and emphasising on the description of the true slave of Allah. Refer Surat Furqan starting from verse 61 till end. The exam went well and praises to Allah, the questions were all doable by me. I don't know how my other groupmates went through the paper.

Mathematics took place on Wednesday and Biology was on Friday. As usual, these two subjects never give me any good expectation towards them. And I was like talking to myself everytime I got tired reading the facts line by line. "Biology, Y U NO easy?" Examination week indeed was fun, I will always remember the moment my friends and I were struggling for the subjects. For sure, I will miss them and my lecturers. They're just so awesome!

For this post, I prefer not to really elaborate on my examination week. Since I was only taking three subjects, I think that I shouldn't complain much as there are people who were taking almost 5-6 subjects and they had to undergo even harder roads for getting good marks. So, I've reached the end of the semester and I still can't believe this. Time went by so fast and I realised that I need to learn more and avoid from wasting the youth time. Right after we've finished our Biology paper on Friday, my roommates and I have decided to have our lunch at Breeks Seoul Garden, One Utama Damansara. We had fun time there, eating and munching grilled beefs and chickens. Eating non-stop and even tried to cross beyond the limit. You should come there too, since the beefs and chickens had great tastes once they were grilled perfectly and I swear that you won't regret tasting their kimchi soup. I'm not trying to go overboard okay, just promoting since it was damn cool and interesting. Don't worry. Students with matric cards will be given discounts and free beverages. Smile!

On the next day, I went to Berjaya Times Square Megamall for hanging out with my two seniors; Kak Fatyn and Kak Anyss and my former schoolmate a.k.a best friend; Qien. Kak Fatin and Qien are doing Cambridge A-Level at Kolej Teknologi Timur and Kolej Damansara Utama while Kak Anyss were previously taking Applied Physics at Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia. We had so much fun there, eating at Nando's and talked happily. Congratulations to Kak Anis for her transferring to Universiti Sains Malaysia for Degree of Applied Biology! I was also accompanying Qien for buying her new "ASUS" notebook. Don't steal! So, I had two days with full of enjoyment really which made me exhausted. However, it was a nice first experience of surviving and sustaining life at university campus for me to cherish. My exam results will be announce in a few weeks soon and please do pray for me. Loads of loves and tonnes of kisses.

Learn A Lesson, Be Grateful For What You Have

2011-09-19T13:12:00.000+08:00

Teenagers today may live a total whole different life from those who were living in the era of 1980. Teenagers nowadays should be very grateful especially for those who still having their parents alive and always being by their side whenever they are in troubles and problems. Those who were born with silver spoons in their mouths usually will get anything that they want and fulfill their blind desire easily. However, only a little of us extend our utmost appreciation to Allah S.W.T whenever we receive such good things in our life. Only a few of us appreciate and be grateful for what they have in their hands, since most of them are thinking to get the better life and forgetting that having a sufficient basic needs since they were born is already okay. Same thing goes to me.

For this year, I've been changing my phone for many times like seriously. Last night, I got a phone call from my father and he expressed his deep disappointment after learning the truth that I bought a new phone without his knowledge. He was so angry and warned me for not repeating this in future. I kept my mouth shut and remained silent during the conversation. Only after that I realised that I've been beyond the limits and my act was too much. The only thing I know is to buy and get new phones whenever I want so. I'm lying to myself about the fact that I'm being grateful with Allah's gifts. I never thought about others whose fate were not as lucky as me, who don't have the opportunity to own phones while perhaps they're even in need of the device compared to me who only know to satisfy myself with the new technology. I also realised that there's nothing wrong about my enthusiasm towards technology and modern devices but I was wrong when I'm always like to spend a lot of money just for petty things. It is also not that important at all in my second thought. I couldn't believe myself that I can act until this point where I felt like nothing but useless. I learnt my lesson and that's why I think that I need to share this on my blog. Perhaps by sharing this, some of my friends and readers can learn the lesson from my mistake. I need to be thrifty, save money often than spending it. Always be grateful for what we have because not everybody is so lucky to receive such our lucky fate. It's a hard road actually for our parents to raise us in a good condition.

وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَئِنْ شَكَرْتُمْ لأزِيدَنَّكُمْ وَلَئِنْ كَفَرْتُمْإِنَّ عَذَابِي لَشَدِيدٌ

And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe.' "

Surat 'Ibrāhīm [14:7]

وَلَقَدْ مَكَّنَّاكُمْ فِي الأرْضِ وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَعَايِشَ قَلِيلامَا تَشْكُرُونَ

And We have certainly established you upon the earth and made for you therein ways of livelihood. Little are you grateful.

Surat Al-'A`rāf (The Heights) [7:10]

Lastly, I would like to share a good motivational video which is related to what I've written as above.

Till then, see you in my another posts. In essence, ALHAMDULILLAH for what we have in the past, present in future.

The Blissful Life at Campus

2011-09-18T09:45:00.002+08:00

Good morning everybody and let's express our utmost gratitude to Allah the Exalted since we're still given the chance to live in this world and the chance for seeking His forgiveness for the previous mistakes that we might have done. Today is the last day of my not-so-long holiday but honestly, I'm not really enjoying these 3 days holiday since things went not according to the plans.

I'll be sitting for my end of semester examination in a week and if you ask me about my preparation, I will definitely give you a smile and saying that I'm perfectly not ready yet with full of confidence. What ? Yes, since I've done nothing for these three days length holidays. I'm only wasting time on social networking and watching any random music videos that I've downloaded and stored in my external hard disk drive. Too bad, I cannot be as hardworking as my other roommates. It's been 3 months I've been staying at my campus and time just went too fast until I realised that my first semester is about to end in a week. Let's give a hooray for this~!

Now only I can share with my readers about my thoughts and opinion regarding my whole new life as a university-to-be student at a campus in the middle of the town. Too much obstacles and too much to be written in fact. Of course, at the beginning of the semester, during the first week which was the phase where all of us met and introduced ourselves to each other, some of us might just find it hard for them. Only a few exceptions can be put to those who were from boarding school or had the experience to live in hostel before. Personally, I found it a bit hard since I'm not used with my new friends. It's natural since at that time, perhaps it was our first meeting, so for getting into a warmer relationship where we could tease or make jokes of each other just like we did in the secondary school once was a bit rushing in my opinion. Only after a week, then we started to talk and having midnight conversation; talking petty things until got so sleepy and woke up late in the morning of the following day. Oops, I did once, only once! And everyone was just like competing and rushing to get into the bathroom to take shower and everybody was like knocking and slamming the door as hard as they can whenever they felt that the one who is in it took too much time just for having shower. It's quite funny after all. However, this kind of thing only happened in the first week since it was the ta'aruf week. You might think that you got yourself under controlled by the committee members and they were acting just like Hitler, bashing other people around and commanding others to be early and so on. After all, for me it was just fine unless for those who is hard to get their ego level down everytime when they have to.

Once the ta'aruf week session finished, all of us would be starting our classes on Monday. The results for the placement test of Arabic Language and English Language; the exam that we sat during the ta'aruf week purposing on dividing the students to their eligible and suitable level of proficiency, had been announced and results were posted on most advertisement boards. I'm so fortunate to be exempted from taking both English and Arabic courses. Those who did not pass the passing grade, are required to take the courses and they might find their schedule is extremely packed compared to mine. Another hooray! To be precise, everyday is just like a boring routine for me. The differences are we don't have to wear the same white shirts and don't have to attend any assembly just like in schools.

My mid semester examination was just find and I'm really grateful to Allah for giving me such good results. Even my results are not so cool like the others, at least I got A for all the courses that I'm taking. What a relief. Sooner, roommates and I are having awesome days living together. They are funny, sensible and futuristic. The most important thing is, they do watch and enjoy Korean entertainment; exception to Firdaus Lokhman as he will always find Korean Entertainment as a sick and nothing but boring entertainment. I don't really care about that after all. Day by day, we start to become and getting closer to each other. Praises be to Allah~! Spending almost a month of Ramadhan with them was totally unforgettable and memorable. Getting into splendid trip together and making fun and jokes of each other will always make me laugh and smile.

Awesome roommates!

Groupmates.

So, finally I've to accept the fact that examination is just around the corner. I'm so scared and afraid if things will turn out to be full of misery. No, no, no! It cannot be happened. So, I need to be total nerd, extra hardworking, practice study smart and study hard. Please pray for my success in the upcoming exams. Don't forget and I'm seeking and begging for your forgiveness if any of you have ever been angry or disappointed with me. May Allah ease my pathway to the success and I'm hoping that I can score the best marks as I can. With that, thank you and see you guys later!

O Allah! Indeed I ask of you the best appeal and the best of invocation and an excellent success and the best deed and the best recompense and the best life and the best death and make me steadfast (on my Deen) and make heavy my scale (of good deeds) and make my faith a reality and elevate my ranks and accept my prayers and forgive my mistakes. And I beseech You for the highest levels of paradise _ .O Allah! Indeed I implore You for the opening of good ways _ and it's achievements too and it's entirety, and it's first and it's last and it's apparent and it's hidden (with it's true spirit) and the highest levels of paradise. 'Ameen (Allah accept my prayer). O Allah! Indeed I implore You that You elevate my dhikr (mention) and You unload my burden (of sins, work, unwanted things) and You reform my condition and You purify my heart (from enmity, jealousy, cowardice, laziness, miserliness and all bad) and You safeguard my private parts and You illuminate my heart and You forgive my sins and I beseech You for the highest levels of paradise. 'Ameen. _ O Allah! Indeed I implore You that You bless my nafs (self), and my hearing and my sight and my soul and my (physical) self and my character and my family and my life and my death and my deeds and accept my good deeds and I beseech You for the highest levels of Paradise. _ 'Ameen.

With Heart and Soul

Listening to most of Korean drama OST, especially those with slow tune might trigger us writing good posts. Yeah, I'm so exaggerating and perhaps getting K-Infection (I came up with this term which means the uncontrolled enthusiasm towards Korea based entertainment) is not that bad after all.

Last Thursday, apart of my former schoolmates, who will be pursuing their studies at the Middle East, have safely arrived at the airport and left Malaysia. I was so unlucky as I didn't have the chance at all to come there and showing my support. Frankly speaking, CFS IIUM got many similarities to secondary school. We're still under control even we're no more under ages. However, don't worry guys, as I will always pray for all of us. Yeah, even though you might think that the statement is normal and you might get familiar with it, I'm speaking with my entire heart and soul. Even so I am not being given any chances just like you, I'm still happy and being grateful that you guys are among the luckiest. Be sure to benefit the opportunity given and use the youth time wisely to gain as many knowledge as we could.

Back to post SPM era where the results had been announced, I was down and disappointed. I wanted to pursue and broaden my studies in Chemical Engineering or Pharmacy. Though, I was so unlucky and perhaps I do believe that The God has set a better future for me than my thoughts. I will surely miss all of you, since most of you were my classmates. Oh well, we had a really joyful years being together right ? All of the laughs and tears (perhaps) that we shared before, will never be forgotten. As I'm writing this post, it reminds me about Nasyraf and Ismail. These two boys would always make me laugh because of their unusual jovial and funny behaviour. I will always remember Ikraam as the best leader for all of us. Indeed, he had made a lot of sacrifices and sometimes I could see that he was trying his best to get every problems solved. Thanks buddy.

Friendship is one of the best thing that I ever had in my whole life. Without friends, I might be dull and lonely for years. Investing half of my soul to a person called friend and loving them whole-heartedly is something that might make me smile at my old days when I remember them, our midnight conversations before sleeping, the moment eating at the dining hall together and running away from the wardens.

As time passes, I know that we have to grow even more and need to be even more matured than before. All of us need to achieve our own target and goals. Our beloved parents are waiting for our success and count on us. In essence, I'm wishing the best of luck to all of you. Have a safe trip and a nice life there. And I will always be here, at my own place, counting our days to meet together with our very cool profession in future.

A friend is someone we turn to
when our spirits need a lift.
A friend is someone we treasure
for our friendship is a gift.
A friend is someone who fills our lives
with beauty, joy, and grace.
And makes the whole world we live in
a better and happier place.
- Jean Kyler McManus -

Standing by,All the way.
Here to help you through your day.
Holding you up,
When you are weak,
Helping you find what it is you seek.
Catching your tears,
When you cry.
Pulling you through when the tide is high.
Just being there,
Through thick and thin,
All just to say, you are my friend.
- Brittani Kokko -

I'm Still Here and Writing

2011-07-19T21:47:00.001+08:00

I've lost in a few months ago, didn't post any new blog posts even I've set up two blogs at the same time. I'm facing a serious problem, I wish that I could write something which is either beneficial or interesting. Unfortunately, I failed. I stopped writing new posts and then I just found that Twitter is something different and I tried for a month. Alhamdulillah, Twitter is fascinating and some sort of micro blog or daily blog. After awhile, I just thought to write again, post something which is beneficial and interesting and I promise to be aware to the limits of writing blog. For sure, I can't write something that related to any profanities or exposing other people's aib.

Then shall anyone who has done an atom's weight of good, see it! [QS 99:7]

I miss Akmal a lot.

Till fingers meet keyboard again :]
