10th Ramadhan 09'

The first one-thirdth of the month has passed and gone. To be truthful, I still have not changed much... Whats more, I am suppressing this beast inside of me. This beast whose aim is to mislead me in every direction possible.
Anyway, thanks be to Allah that I am halfway through Quran with 20 more days ahead for me to finish. I dunno... I feel like my pizzazz that was once inside of me is gone. I feel less vibrant. The world is more darker and its crumbling like a weak building, falling and falling...
Sigh... I cant say much about my tests. It was pretty much average.
Hmm... Isnt it sad? That Ramadhan comes and goes and that same person still stays the same as he/she was... Kinda describes me, well, that is if I dont start "the change". Seriously, I dont have to change a lot but otherwise better myself.
I hope to write in future posts.
Thanks for reading.

A Glimmer of Hope

Today felt like... woah!!!
Revised Hadith this morning and later checked up on my Faraidh notes. During the Faraidh test, I did pretty good. When we did finish and Cikgu Iskandar entered class, he forgot the papers and rushed down to get it. He returned with our finished Faraidh test papers, and pitifully, went down again to get our Hadith test papers. Did good too... So, the continuation of the day is seen as Chemistry class. Got to really know how to balance chemical equations, unlike the previous class. Drank a bit during Lunch and later, Ustd Soleh entered class, probably cause Ustd Salehin is busy or sick. Had a kind of charades game which was awesome! After that, I did my Zuhr prayers and had 1 and a half hour more of Ustd Soleh. This time, he brought us to Multi-Purpose Room 3 where he mentioned a topic about Ramadhan and someone he chosen will talk about it in Arabic. Evidently, it was to prepare us for our upcoming STE Oral for next year. He wanted us to talk for at the least, 3 minutes. Abdur Rahman... well, he's excellent at his Arabic so he's sure to have gotten that time. Helmi got 2 min 30 sec which was like... the longest among those who talked that day. I got 2 min 10 sec. It's ok... I can improve.
A few minutes before assembly, we all Cikgu Zulkifli walking to our class so about 6 of us stormed up to class and cleaned it as best we could. Fortunately, Cikgu didnt even enter our class. I walked home with Muhammad, listening to a song he made. Whilst listening, I heard the call of prayer, of the azan, and after shaking hands with Muhammad, I went to pray at the mosque instead. He saw me... smiled, and followed suit. After performing my Asar prayers, I stayed back at school to share notes with Taufiq, Bukhari, Abdul Rahman Abd Rahim and Ruzaini. Stayed until 5:50pm and then went home.
At home, I watched about a dozen episodes of 'The Arrivals'. All about Satan's well-planned idea, the story of Isa a.s. and also the destruction and resurrection of the Temple of Sulaiman, also known as Al-Aqsa Mosque. Note that the Dome of the Rock is not Al-Aqsa but the one beside it. There have been many archaelogical digs beside the mosque and countless Palestinians see this as the coming of the false messiah, the Dajjal or the Antichrist.
Be prepared my brothers and sisters, for the war of our time has come...

Struggle

Boy, today's Physics test was so hard. I was confused for the first part of the time period. Fiqh was a bit less tougher... just a bit. Had Maths class where we, the class, revised how to distinguish a similar or congruent shape, and to find the areas of similar shapes. During Mustolah Hadith, I listened to Ustzh Faridah mentioning what we needed to study. It seemed like a whole lot. During Lunch, I drank Peach Tea and then went back up and had a short chat with Hafizuddeen Khalis. Ustd Ruzi allowed the class to do revisions during Hadith class. Did my Zuhr prayers. Abdur Rahman Yassin became the Imam, Hanafiah became the Bilal and Adam read the du'a. I was really happy for them. Ustd Mahzan wanted me to read the du'a but I said I didnt know any... After Zuhr prayers, I had 1 and a half hour of Lughah classes. Ustd Salehin wanted everyone to write a poem with our names in it... I was so miserable during that lesson because:
1- I was denied by Ustd Salehin for more than 5 times
2- I frustrated Ustd Saelhin
3- I finished last, after struggling for almost an hour...
Ustd Salehin showed us some more episodes of 'The Arrivals' which was awesome. At the end of the class, showed Ustd Salehin accepted my last one and then, I helped clean up the class with Taufiq, Bukhari and the others. Got green again... haha! Went home with Taufiq and Luqman Nur. Walked to Junction 8 with Luqman Nur and then took Bus No. 52 home.
Wassalam...
P.S. Got 41 messages in my e-mail inbox. Woah!!!

Secondary 3 Party

Today was a good day. Had half an hour free during the start of the day. Memorised some Malay proverbs and then went for recess. Drank Lemon Tea and went back to class. I had my Malay test later on and it was pretty good. Finished in around 10min and slept for the next 30min. I checked my paper, dont worry. Ustd Mahzan didnt enter for Fiqh-Faraidh class so we just talked and chatted. Mr Roslan entered an hour later and we revised 'Congruency and Similarity'. During Contact Time, all of Secondary 3 went to the canteen for the party. Secondary 3 Andalus [Thats my class...=)] brought the drinks. Each guy carried a bottle on their shoulder. We looked like we were going to war...
Well anyway, when we did arrive, I didnt feel like eating. Abdul Rahman Abd Aziz and Zulfaqar sat beside me. Zulfaqar wasnt being festive for that occasson. I coaxed him to loosen up but he was being... you know... uncooperative. Well, I didnt wanna argue so I just went to take pictures. I felt a whole deal greater. Drank Lemon Tea and Nur gave me some awesomely sweet apple-flavoured sweets which I loved SOOO much!!! But I only had three. When it did finish, I asked Nur for more but she said it had finished. I pulled a sour face and, I guess... seeing me sad, she checked her pockets and gave me 2 more of those heavenly delights. I was happy and at the same time, I felt bad, Helped clean up, not to mention having some of Danish's birthday cake... which Muhammad fed to me! Haha... today's Friday sermon was about 'Being Grateful to Allah s.w.t.' and how to be grateful and thankful about everything. After the Friday prayers, I cleaned up the class and then hanged-out after school in class with the others. Met Nur again and gave her one of the sweets she gave me. That easened my conscience...=)
Well, below are some photos from today's party. For more, go to my Multiply and check them out...

"Awesomeness"

Today, I started off with revisions for Maths. Then recess and afterwards was the Maths test itself. I was a bit confused on one question so I just tried. No looking back... then, I had my Tafsir which was easier than Maths. However, there was a lot of writing involved so I wasnt that enthusiastic. After that had ended, I had a fun lesson of Chemistry with Mr Muneer. Lunch came and went, followed by an awesome Lughah class. Ustd Salehin showed us about 4 chapters of 'The Arrivals' which I enjoyed greatly. Zuhr prayer commenced an hour later after which started Fiqh classes. Short and quick before another free session during Tauhid class. A number of my classmates along with myself cleaned up the class and got a spiffing green grade. Awesome!!!
Promised myself to bring drinks for tomorrow's Secondary 3 party after I saw a pissed off Nur. Gave a brotherly hug to Abdur Rahman Yassin and went downstairs with Taufiq and Bukhari, walking according to the music Taufiq played on his phone. We walked like three weirdos to the canteen. Separated myself from them and went home with Luqman Nur. Rode Bus No. 59 to Junction 8 and then took Bus No. 410 whereas Luqman Nur took Bus No. 55... and so, the day continued. Watched 'Kingdom of Heaven' and 'Lord of the Rings' just now. Hmm... I think Im gonna memorise for tomorrow's Malay test...

God's Work

Had Tilawah for starters... I borrowed the mosque's Quran and later returned it. Had my English test. Had to do one composition from 3 topics. I did one which wanted me to explain the importance of good manners. And so I did. Did ok. Halfway into the test, I finished checking the composition and corrected some errors. Ustd Mahzan saw me and asked if I wanted to study for Tauhid, in exchange for handing in my paper. I thanked him and sat outside. Soon, lots of people were going outside cause they finished their paper. When I did do my Tauhid paper, I was so grateful that I remembered all the facts. Finished it with a smile on my face.
I had English classes after the tests where we went to the library to read books. Managed to finish a book about Martin Luther King and also Nelson. Afterwards, I had an hour of Geography. Mr Ismail let us do revision for tomorrow. Had Lunch and I searched for my missing nail-clipper. Used the whole period to retrace my steps. So, I turned my sets on S3 Bukhara. I thought one of them would have taken it.
Then, came along Hafizuddeen. I asked if he had seen my nail-clipper and he said he saw it with Fadzil. Renewed hope filled my heart. When Fadzil did arrive to class, I asked him for my nail-clipper and he gave it to me. Woohoo! I was so happy to have gotten back one of my possession. Started Lughah lessons. There, Ustd Salehin taught us to write Arabic poems. Everyone laughed when Ustd Salehin played a Malay song on his computer which included my name in a very funny lyric. I made a good poem and Ustd Salehin liked it. Then, Tafsir classes. Revision again. Did my Zuhr prayers and then went to the Auditorium. All the Secondary students went there to watch a video by Harun Yahya on the Miracles of the Quran. It was cool. Cleaned up the class after school and after Bukhari, Danish, Asyraf, Taufiq and I had done cleaning it, it was so clean I didnt even recognise it. Abdul Rahman Abd Aziz wanted to pray at the mosque first. I almost went berserk. A lump welled in my throat. I wanted to hit someone. 10min passed by like an hour. When I did do my prayers, I shed a tear cause I couldnt take it. Went home alone and alone I am now...

Late Updates

Its been some time since I last updated this blog. Today, Im writing about last Friday, Saturday and today... which is Tuesday. Firstly, Friday.

Im not gonna tell you too much about school hours. Ok, after school, I packed my bag and went downstairs. I expected Abdul Aziz to be there but to my shock, he laready left. Went back upstairs to find Luqman Nur but he had also left. Wow... such good friends, I have. That day, we, and I think you know who I am referring to, decided to play basketball. Luqman Hakim, Haziq and Abdul Rahman would be late cause they had an Additional Maths test after school. So, when I did arrive at Abdul Aziz's house, I met both him and Luqman Nur. When we reached the court, I found some other secular studenst playing too. 3 Chinese teens invited us to play a match with them. So it was 3-vs-3. They were pretty good. I got a lot of possession during the match. There was this really tall guy who shot from very far and almost always scored. There was another guy who was a bit taller than me who ran around the hoop area and would score if the other guy didnt. The third one stayed around the outer hoop area. He was my height but his shots were awesome. Well, Luqman Nur was like our main scorer maintaining the ball wherever he could. Abdul Aziz was the receiver, always getting the ball and navigating through the opponent. I just tried to steal the ball, dodging and weaving, mostly having fun.

When the others arrived, we played 3-vs-3... the 'Mans' against the 'Non-Mans'. I was a bit cranky cause I was tired. After that, went to Abdul Aziz's house and did our Asar prayers and checked out SA videos. And that was Friday.

On Saturday, my mother and I visited my sick grandmother. Talked for about an hour and a half before leaving for the Sudden Attack Competition at Ang Mo Kio. My mother stayed behind. The competition started at 1pm but our match was like... all the way at 3pm!!! So, Haziq, his brothers Hazim and Harraz, along with Abdul Aziz and I played SA for about an hour just to warm up. When we did play, there was no competition. The opponent was so good and they were all silver-coloured grades... so, I guess it was a bit of a downturn. Did our prayers at Al-Muttaqin mosque and then played another hour at another Cyber Cafe. I played extremely well... maybe cause I was in the mood. Went home with Abdul Aziz, riding Bus No. 162, and returned to my abode... only to continue with playing SA. A day of SA.So what happened today on Tuesday? I'll tell you... Had my Arabic and Nahu tests today. It was ok. After the tests, continued the day with Physics. Had a good time then cause I got to answer some questions correctly, with Mdm Surianah watching over me. Lunch was brilliant and to add to that was our short trip to Multi-Purpose Room 3 during English classes. Zuhr prayers ended with the start of Quran class. We memorised some surahs together as a class. With that, we finished the lesson and Ustd Azhari entered the class. He didnt teach us today cause he wanted us to get ready for tomorrow's test. During the last 15min of school hours, I took the initiative to clean up the class. Bukhari followed suit and some others helped. I tried my best in maintaining cleanliness in my class. Praise be to Allah, my class got a green grade again. I was like shocked to see a red grade for S3 Bukhara. I laughed and so did the others around. Namely, Abdur Rahman Yassin, Adam, Sofiah and Nur. Nur giggled when I took a photo of the proof and set it as my phone's wallpaper. Had an awesome time during PT classes. Did my Asar prayers afterwards and went back home, happy and with a smile on my face...
