Assalamualaikum wr. wb.
Peace be upon everyone reading this. It is Aidiladha today, with another positive of being on a Friday! Allahu Akbar! Anyway, on this day, it is good to take a different route when going somewhere. I heard from today's sermon that the Prophet s.a.w. would take a different path when going somewhere just so that he may give the salam to more people. It would be wise to follow in the Prophet's footsteps as even if there is no one to greet you along the way, it shows that you are a faithful follower in performing sunnah. Thank you.
I would also like to say sorry to all those who have waited to read my posts. I know that I have not been writing for long because I took advice from a wise friend on blogging and thought it best to stop. However, I have now returned to writing. The posts will not be filled with my everyday problems or success but anything good which I feel is good to share with my good friends and/or readers.
Thank you..
Wassalam..

Swirling Emotions
Friday was... Crazy!!!
I cant tell you how many kind of emotions I felt that day. It was like a royal rumble of feelings, all swirling in me and coming out at different times. It was downright crazy!
Let's start then.
Umm... well, first event of the day was the Arabic Program. I was so psyched up for the whole thing. The few things that I remember was how Nur was so frantic and how nervous the guys were. In the end, everything went ok but the mood changed when Ustd Alaina gave the audience a lecture cause they clapped after the Quran recitation by Rifqi. That quietened the mood.
During class, Ustd Idgham entered our class for Mustholah Hadith and gave the class a talk about our class behaviour and also gave us some motivation. Did a bit of work during Faraidh class and then did some more work during Maths lesson. I felt happy, overworked, nervous and also troubled all at once that day. I listened to the sermon during the Friday prayers and performed the prayer afterwards. I saw Abdul Aziz after that and hastened to meet up. I bolted up the stairs and rallied "the crew". This time, there was a lot more people. 8, including me and Abdul Aziz. There was Abdul Rahman Abd Aziz, both Luqmans, Haziq, Muhammad, Umar, Abdul Aziz and I.
We played in the heat of the scorching mid-day sun. I was a bit cranky this time as the heat really burned the soles of my shoes and everytime I got the ball, I was chased by at least 2 people. I liked the freedom of running free but it wasnt an option this time. Anger soon joined in with the crankiness. When we left for Abdul Aziz's house, I was so annoyed when Luqman Nur and Abdul Aziz ignored me when I was talking with them. Reached his house and started playing Sudden Attack. I played a bit cause a lot of people wanted to try. I was a bit pissed off during this one time... I also felt so mad at one point in time. Luckily, Muhammad was there and kept trying to calm me down.
We all chipped in to order pizza from a place called 'Pelican Pizza', if Im not wrong. I had 2 slices of the pepperoni pizza. Lastly, I felt some calm and solace after performing 'Asr prayers with the guys. Went home at different times with different parties. Two parties, to be exact. The first group to leave was Abdul Rahman, Umar and Luqman Hakim. About 15min later, Haziq, Muhammad, Luqman Nur and I departed.
I had a good day, overall.

Start Writing
Im skipping straight to Wednesday as I dont possibly have the time to add in Monday and Tuesday.
So anyway, I had a good time today. Its very weird as its the start of my End Year Exam. I did my Malay composition writing, which I would say, was ok. I didnt do anything much from 10am for an hour and a half. Only did I do something during Geography lesson. The class did some last minute revising with Mr Ismail for about 20min. After that, he told us tales of his childhood and more. Luckily, during Lughah class with Ustd Salehin, we didnt have to hand in the Insya' but instead did assessment work. Tafsir wasnt so much of revision except simple worksheets. During White-Space Period, the guys from S3 and S4 had a close-door session. Thats as far as Im gonna talk about it.
After school, I cleaned the class in a jiffy and went to the canteen to do either work or revisions. Well, turns out, I just did work. I completed last week's Geography work and then spent the next hour talking with Naufal about school and subjects. I had a good time. When it was time to leave, I gave my salam to Albukhari, Abdul Rahman Abd Rahim, Ali Imran and Naufal.
Ooooh yes, and the open house on Sunday which Shazaa invited me to was ok. I'll upload pictures tomorrow or some other day...

All Fun & Games
You know, I thought I would be studying on Saturday. Since... well, the exams are so close but hey, I guess it just wasnt meant to be.
On Saturday, I started the day playing Sudden Attack. It was ok. I level-ed up and became a Gunnery Sergeant Grade 4, if Im not wrong. During the afternoon, my nephews and I played Marvel Superheroes on their XBOX 360. It was ok. I became Wolverine... which, I believe, is the best among them. He's also the leader. We played till night came. Of course, I did my five daily and compulsory prayers. I ate McDonalds at about 4pm and KFC at about 9pm. I didnt ask for it but somehow, the food came to me.
Funny thing though. Nur asked if I wanted to go and apply for university... in Malaysia??? I mean, thats a fine gesture but I felt like it was out of the blue. But hey, I said I would think about it.
I dunno... I dont fancy Malaysia much. Its a country, yes. But, I just feel thats not me. But who knows? Maybe I'll grow and go there anyway. Until then, my eye is on Medina. Its a longshot but I wanna go for it. Lets hope Sunday is more fruitful.

Revision and Recreation
Friday came and went like... a leaf falling down from a tree.
Well, it has no relation with the post but Im just saying that Friday seemed to end quickly.
It was a good day. I arrived first in my class like every other day. I went around to the back overlooking the field and memorised for the Quran oral.
After the assembly, the secondary students stayed at the void deck for the Arabic Program. That day, it was the total of the Secondary 4 students. It wasnt so bad. I enjoyed it, and I believe the others did too. When lessons started, I had Mustolah Hadith. Ustzh Faridah summarised all that she had taught for the this semester. I found it quite easy to understand when written in the mindmap form. Then, during Faraidh lesson, the whole class had to complete their worksheets. When I handed in my papers, Ustd Mahzan smiled and hoped that I would score for the Final Year Exam. He also said that I could become an 'ulama if I further my studies. I was so elated but I didnt tell anyone yet. And please, could you ( Dear readers ) keep this quiet? Its a secret between us. Anyway, we continued the day with Maths lesson. Did the revision work that Mr Roslan told us to do. During Contact Time, Mr Roslan was kind enough to let us memorise for the oral exam.
When the oral exam did commence, I was so nervous cause my examiner was Ustd Abdul As-Salam, the Hafiz so I was like... 'Omg, is he gonna be tough???'. I did ok felt so scared. After the oral exam, Ruzaini, Bukhari, Abdul Rahman Abd Rahim and I played one-touch volleyball... in the canteen! We stopped 15min later cause Ustd Azhari saw us and was like... 'What??'.
Later, Mr Izzad came and brought his laptop. I asked to see Transformers 2 and got to see the fighting scenes. There were some parts which Mr Izzad forwarded... lol. Afterwards, Luqman Nur, Muhammad and I later went to Abdul Aziz's house to play basketball. It was so fun. I ran a lot. Lotsa jokes! We laughed here and there. Played Sudden Attack at Abdul Aziz's room and then did our Asr prayers and went home. Luqman Nur already left so Muhammad and I were the last to leave. I took Bus No. 162 and Muhammad took Bus No. 13.
Went home and watched Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Remembering
School was fun today, well... sorta.
Quran and Tafsir wasnt so bad. Just simple revisions. Malay was awesome. Cikgu Iskandar showed us the movie 'Forrest Gump', featuring Tom Hanks. The class got interrupted halfway through cause it was time for Science classes. Bad timing, if you ask me. During Chemistry, I understood most of what was taught, but I was bored so that deducted some points from the bank of concentration...
Memorized oral notes during Lughah lesson with Ustd Salehin. Fiqh and Tauhid, the last 2 lessons of the day was also a good finish to the school day.
After school, I decided to give Raja Noor Hidayah the card which she handed out last Friday. I checked the 7th storey and most of them were taking pictures with one another. So, I went back to the 6th storey and together with Bukhari, went to the canteen. Bukhari wanted to study after school so I bought a drink at the drinks shop. There, I saw Hidayah and gave her the cards and then, after finishing the drink, went to the mosque and did my prayers. I prayed alone but then a Ma'mum joined in so I became Imam. After praying, I saw that it was Khair "Specky" and Harith "Specky"... and by "Specky" here I mean wearing glasses. Before going up, I saw Ali Imran and Luqman Nur in the office, probably still looking for the culprit who stole Luqman Nur's bag on Tuesday. I helped in the search but to no avail. Went back upstairs to the canteen and read wishes from Irshad's wish book. Well, its not really his wish but wishes from the S5 girls who wanted to wish him good luck and stuff. Naufal and Irshad smiled and laughed when I read the wishes. Finally, I went home with Farid, Bukhari and Ali Imran at about 6.45pm. Naufal and Irshad were gonna stay till Isya'.
Arrived home and thought of myself leaving Irsyad...
Really gonna miss the S5's...

Revision
Tilawah... twice in a week, Mondays and Wednesdays.
"This is your last...", I said to Harith, my group leader. He smiled. See, this Friday will be the Secondary 5 students' last reporting day at Irsyad. Its really sad to see another batch leave. But hey, school isnt forever... so spend it well. Im trying to do that... Hopefully, my efforts will be fruitful.
Anyway, classes today were ok. My class revised 'Waqaf' during Fiqh lesson. I havent totally memorized so I was somehow dumbstruck when I was one of the first to be asked a question by Ustd Mahzan. But the overall lesson did make me recall the topic being studied, so its not a loss. Helped Ms Amnah making some games which was tiring. Geography, after English, was also ok. Mr Ismail covered one sub-topic regarding 'Natural Vegetation' very quickly.
During what was supposed to be Lughah lesson but instead turned into one hour of free time, Muhammad and I sat outside of the class... I was memorizing the latest notes Ustd Salehin gave us while Muhammad took his Quran file. And then, during Tafsir, Ustd Ruzi brought the whole class to see the Drug Exhibition Bus at the Void Deck. Some guy who I think is part of the Police Corps. or something was doing a talk later for the secondary students so he showed us those kind of stuff they show at the museum, only its about drugs and all its bad stuff.
Continued the 2nd part of the "It's Me" workshop which was fun. After school, about 10 Secondary 3 guys, including me, waited for Luqman Nur to find out who stole his bag the other day. We were like... cheering him on and he was like "Woah, why is everyone here? Go away..." and stuff so we were downhearted and instead of cheering him on, we all went home...
Haha... It was cool though.
