Sensitive, Much?

Is it just me or was today the hottest day ever?? Maybe..
Frankly, I couldnt help but feel very sleepy during lessons. It was sooo hot and it made me feel very drowsy. Beads of sweat trickled down my forehead. It was clear that I wasnt enjoying myself.

I was turned off for pretty much majority of the classes. And I guess you might think Im being a bad example as a student.. well, no. Im just plain bored. Anyway, Cikgu Zul gave me the consent forms for the Friday donations. However, the papers he gave was not enough for my whole class so Cikgu said he'd give me the remaining sheets during Malay class. Malay class came and went and the both of us forgot about passing the remaining papers.

My eyelids were the heaviest during Insya' lesson. The temperature was sweltering hot I had a hard time staying up. Towards the end of the lesson, I washed my face and got ready for prayers. Afterwards, we had Inter-House games. The only games for guys was soccer. Most of the s4 Water boys didnt get to play as there was too much people already. I settled to be the imaginary commentator but Ziyan's snide retort made me lose my interest. Spoiler..

After school, I was quite tired. The humid temperature and my bad mood equalled to a bad day. Just as the day was about to get better, Nur shouted at me, reminding me about the Friday donations consent form. Fortunately or unfortunately, she found out from S4B. I was soo taken aback by her reaction that I got pissed and sulked.. sulked like never before.

I stayed in S4B where most of the guys were, not intending to go back to S4C and see the girls. God, I was darn hurt.. she caught me during my most fragile moment and I nearly cried. The other girls like Syaira, Adawiyah and Sofiah saw that my face was quite miserable. Soon after, Nur came to apologise. I was still very much hurt but I told her I was fine. Sigh.. Im starting to get very sensitive nowadays..

I hung out with Danish and Bukhari till about 7pm. They did some jumpstyle at the canteen which was cool. I wasnt so familiar with jumpstyle but I have done it once. Anyway, their dancing and all really cheered me up.

Hafizuddeen, Farid, Bukhari, Danish and I took Bus No. 57 to Bishan Interchange together. It was fun to actually have them ride the bus with me.
So currently, my main agenda is to concentrate on my studies and dancing, plus my good friend. Pray that I do well in my Arabic Oral.. :D

Wassalam..

A "Parabolic" Day

The word 'parabolic' comes from the name 'parabola' which is referring to a quadratic graph. Haha, okay no.. I just made up that word. But it sounds cool so I'll just stick with it. Mmhm, today was so full of ups and downs. Really, it has been that way..

Indeed, the day started off with an hour of Fiqh. It was okay, only memorisations and stuff. Then, we started studying about 'Al-Khunsa' and its rights in Faraidh. Frankly, I didnt pay much attention cause I was starting to get moody. Afterwards, I had Maths lessons which I kinda understood just a tiny bit. It would've helped if we did lots of examples over and over until I got it but I guess thats not possible.

During Science class, I really felt like breaking down. Mdm Surianah was absent so Irshad filled in for her. Well anyway, all I had to do was complete a 5-page worksheet and I couldnt even do that. In fact, it was on a topic we studied only 2 weeks ago. I escaped from the worries of class and went to the toilet. In the end, I finished my work but I felt unsatisfied cause I got help.

Back to S4C with the other guys. Fiqh this time ... and my group had to do an act. I cheered up just slightly and giggled a lot cause we had to do some funny scenes. At the end of the day, we had Quran lessons with a particularly cheerful Ustd Alaina. He let us do some revisions on our memorisations and stuff. It was cool..

After school, I watched the soccer training and commentated for the match, unofficially. Hehe, it was then that I received a call from a good friend and we talked for quite some time. Then, I continued commentating till the end of the game, which was around Maghrib. Hung out with the team and then went home alone. Upon reaching home, I got ready to go out to my parent's friend's place. It was enjoyable enough.

Well, I just tomorrow wont bring today's strife. Seriously, I feel pathetic right now and loathsome at the current situation. But I know that I can count on some people to liven up the day.. And Im quite sorry Bukhari for not helping you out, I truly am..

Wassalam..

Stressed Out

One thing that I gotta say.. taking care of a mixed class is way harder than taking care of an all-boys class. I never knew girls could be soooooo noisy. God, I felt so frustrated in class. Luckily it was a free period so there werent any teachers to witness the scene.

And another thing.. today, people kept asking me if I was okay, saying that I looked sad. I was taken aback upon hearing that being said. Well okay, I was a tiny bit sad but it seemed as if my face portrayed an even graver mood. Haha, well, just so you know.. Im fine, physically. Besides my right leg, I am fine and well. In terms of attitude, my positivity is dwindling. Uhuh.. that I am.

Singing was the only thing that cheered me up today. I kept singing in class, I kept singing during recess, I kept singing after school, I kept singing on my way back home. I felt a whole lot better letting out all that stress by singing my heart out. Hmm.. I should think of doing this everyday.. Haha! XDD

Shout outs to Shazaa, Shaakira and Akid.. who were absent at school today. Get well soon, hope to see the 3 of you at school :D
Well, lights out..
Wassalam..

Moving Out

Time management is essential. Truthfully, things will go far better when manage your time perfectly. However, it is one thing Im weak in.. hehe
Today could be described as being so redundant. I turned on my computer, I turned it off. I turned it on again, I turned it off. I turned it on yet again, I turned it off. What a cycle..
Well, my cousins moved out today to their new home in Toa Payoh. I was a bit sad that they werent gonna live with me anymore. Yeah, imma miss you guys.. :(

My cousins plus 2 nephews and a niece :D

Err.. I had a nice evening. Hehe, and yeah, I managed to finish my work. Woohoo! Thats it, I guess. Have a good night ;D

Wassalam..

Without A Plan

Dated [Saturday, 3 April]

If there's one thing thats important for an outing, its planning. You need to plan on where to go or else you'll just wander around and waste time. Yeah, and it gets quite annoying when you're going nowhere.

Hehe.. today, I went for the Peer Tutor Exco Recce. We met up at Harbourfront MRT station and then headed for Banquet for morning breakfast at VivoCity. It was the girls idea, just so you know. I wasnt that hungry. So while everyone ate their purchases, I drank my Green Apple Snow Blended drink. It was so cold but I liked it.

After that, we all took Bus No. 131 to Safra near Radin Mas CC, the place where our S3A class had dikir barat practice at last year. It brought back sweet memories. Upon reaching the place, we saw that the rock climbing facilities there were quite sad. Haha, so we left for VivoCity again. We went to the top deck and discussed our objectives. However, Farid and Hurun had to leave after that. Long story short, they decided to go to Sentosa. I was like .. "seriously?"
So anyway, I guess I tagged along too. We stopped at the station near the Merlion and saw Baihaqi working there. Hehe, we shook hands as he led us down. There, we took numerous photos around the Merlion area. Unfortunately, it started to rain. We seeked shelter at the train station ahead. We kept on waiting and waiting till it only drizzled and left for the Luge area. In fact, we were searching for a cycling kiosk which was nearby. Mr Izzad and I found it but the rate was sooo expensive. $8 per hour! God, that is just terrible..

So, we all headed back to the main island of Singapore, feeling tired and demoralized. Again, we found ourselves at VivoCity. Everyone decided to go to KFC and have a bite. We discussed just a tiny bit before splitting up. I went to school with Mr Izzad and did my Zuhr prayers there. Then I went home and watched some television.

'Enchanted' the movie was playing again at Disney channel and I called up my "enchanted" buddy and texted another. Sadly, one of them was outside and the other one couldnt even watch it. Awww.. nevermind. I also watched the movie 'It Could Happen To You' which is like soooo the sweetest movie ever, along with all the other movies I chose as my favourites.. hehe :D

I guess its time for bed now..
Wassalam..

Photography @ Chinese Garden

Finally, our first photography outing this year. I was under the impression that no one wanted to continue with the activities but thankfully, its still on and going.

Not many people went. There was only me, Mr Izzad, Shah and Luqman Nur. Hanafiah joined much much later. Well anyway, we met at Chinese Garden MRT Interchange and then bought some stuff at Cheers. We walked on the path, leading up to the distinctive pagoda that marked the Chinese Garden. Somehow, I found out something whilst being there. Only 3 types of people came here. Tourists, photographers and joggers. Haha, its funny when you see it.. :D
The 4 of us headed straight for the tall pagoda ahead and went all the way up to the 7th storey. Hehe, it wasnt that tiring cause we already had "practise" at school. Then, we moved on to the Bonsai Garden. Mind you, there was a LOT of bonsai trees. There was this one moment when I was searching the landscape for something attractive to take a picture of when suddenly, I spotted a komodo dragon just 2m away from me. What did I do? I was alone so I stepped back gingerly, not trying to agitate the lizard. I wasnt sure if it really was a komodo dragon but it sure looked like one..

We then rested at the very same bonsai garden, after regrouping together of course. Ate some Oreos and drank my fill of water. So afterwards, we moved to the white bridge where we took numerous jumpshots. It was so fun!

So then, after the outing, we split up. Shah had to go to Tampines and Hanafiah went home. Mr Izzad, Luqman Nur and I went to Raffles Place and ate McDonalds plus.. we performed our Friday prayers at Maulana Mosque. We thought of watching 'Clash of the Titans' but most of the cinemas were fully booked. With the help of Aziz's iPhone (Who joined us for Friday prayers) , we searched for neighbouring cinemas with "vacancies". Firstly, we checked the one at Dhoby Ghaut then at another place. Sigh.. it was no use. The place was packed. So, we all decided to go home.

I went home with Aziz and took Bus 410G.. this bus goes the long way around. We talked about stuff and had quite a good time talking. Tomorrow, Im going rock wall climbing with Luqman Nur and the other Peer Tutor Exco members. Hehe, naw.. I aint an Exco member. Though I wish I was.. Im just invited. Hehe.. :)

Gotta get some rest then..
Wassalam..
P.S. We missed each other just by a few minutes ;D

A Quick Stretch

Welcome April and goodbye March..
Its the 4th and final day of the week in S4C. Phew.. a break at last from the constant sitting. Gosh, I feel better at the moment.

Lessons today were quite draggy. I lost my focus a couple of time and also got sleepy during a few lessons. Luckily, Ilyas tickled me constantly so I had to wake up. Haha, it was so annoying.
After school, some of my class members stayed back and helped me clean the class. Unfortunately, we got an orange grade. Pffft.. that sucks.

Stayed back after school to finish my Insya' with Farid and Hafiz. Farid and I managed to complete it but sadly, Hafiz didnt "have the capacity" to finish it.
Sigh.. Im too sleepy cause I drank too much milk this evening. And now.. Im off to bed. Chinese Garden, here I come ! *tomorrow's plan*

Wassalam..
