raya vs raya?

Raya.
My Second year raya-ing in melbourne.
Let me tell you my first raya experience here in Melbourne.

The first raya isn't that bad, we've got several, i think 4 or 5, open houses to attend in fact we didnt manage to attend all coz banyak sangat!

I expected only first raya would be overwhelmingly celebrated. It all began with solat raya at flagstaff garden, if u remember i posted a picture on facebook last time. The one with khatib inside the picture if u remember? then we also took pictures with budak2 KMS together at the garden.

Then the housemates went back home to fill in our tummy. Laksa, rendang, sambal goreng, kuih raya. lots of food. Then after zohor off we went to the open houses. To the guys house. They made nasi minyak with ayam merah, nasi himpit with kuah kacang. then we go to seniors house to beraya.

I also thought the second, third, forth raya would be very hambar one. But what i expected was wrong. The second raya, we still got some more rendang, laksa left over (not really left over) from the previous day. So we had our classmate came beraya with us that day. But the second day, all of us went to class already. with semangat raya, i wore baju kurung. haha.

So this years' raya i dont expect it to be that meriah. We housemate thought that first year should smells good because of the first time raya-ing abroad. We're all excited, we've got things to look forward since it's the first experience. But now, neither of us feels excited, except for xsabar nk pakai baju raya.

Worse, i've got one assignment to submit on the second raya and another one on the third of raya. Awesome posum! lol

Oh well actually, i won't get the raya mood if i don't have facebook account. Coz it's all because of people on my newsfeeds. They keep on updating raya thing. How cruel you guys..






Ok la. I'm trying to start assignment-ing early so that i can finish early and cry out loud on pagi raya. Till then. love.

I think I already miss Ramadhan

I think I already miss Ramadhan. Tho it has not end yet, not even half of it pass by, I think I already miss Ramadhan. In case you think i feel so because i've already missed my fasting, no i havent.

I feel so secure now.

Except for this semester's subjects for which i worry so much.

Love,
Yours truly

Ramadhan mubarak.

Selamat memanfaatkan Ramadhan Kareem.

Make sure curi some time to do good deeds, more than other months k?

Semoga dilimpahi keberkatan atas segala perkara baik yg dilakukan.

Maaf dari hati kalau ada yg terasa mana-mana.

Love,

Twins of Faith- Day 1

Assalamualaikum! kabareyy?
This should be an entry of what i got from this Islamic conference.

First of all, being one of the participants really makes me feel like i have the littlest knowledge about my religion. What adds to my humbleness, i was an alumni of a religious school of which i should know more, aint i?

But i am so thankful to god that at least he opened up my heart to attend this convention when not everyone are willing to attend this type of convention. I went with a kakak whom i actually feel a bit of awkward being with. I just had to ignore those feelings right? That's a bit of sacrifice there. Alhamdulillah, i survived first day.

I arrived a bit late (intentionally) to miss i think 2 topics. But then i got to listen to Boona Mohammed's rapping.

What i can say, he really is good at words. His rap was like straight away struck to the heart. This was his rap: (i took picture of the kakak's note coz i was so busy concentrating, i didnt jot down) hihi.
Anyway, the kakak said, dia pun tak sempat salin semua. :)

Then, there's a talk about The People of Knowledge and Action. This was a good one. I would consider this one as the best of the day. :)

So here's the points i managed to jot down:

• Allah will ask 5 question to every human beings, be it muslim or not,:

1. How did you spend your life?
2. How did you spend your youth?
3. From where do you earn your money?
4. What do you do with your money?
5. What do you do with the knowledge you have?

• "Who seek the path of knowledge, Allah ease the path to jannah." (so ikhlas kan hati dlm belajar k?)
• Ask your teacher to gain control of the knowledge. Your teacher should know lots of things. 
• Reflect yourself:
• how many time you spent on searching for knowledge?
• When is the last time you open the book of Allah and seek knowledge from that?
• Allah's promise; Whoever gainings' is hard, the ending must be sweet.

• Condition to gain knowledge:
• INTELLIGENCE: 
• what is the best time to gain knowledge? if young, can better concentrate
• FOCUS & PERSEVERANCE:
• we have to love knowledge so that we can feel the sweetness of the knowledge
• HARD WORK
• eg; working out on time to class, have to jot down in class, revise etc
• COMPANION OF TEACHER
• find a good teacher. 
• A good teacher will teach basic things before difficult thing
• be around the teacher
• LONG DURATION OF TIME
• It doesn't takes a second to succeed. It is a repetitive process.

• Acting on knowledge cause it to stay in your heart. Other words; PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE!
• 5 step to act upon knowledge:

1. Have Knowledge
• write everything, ask teacher.
2. Believe wholeheartedly that it is true
• eg: Believe that 
• revising will help u succeed, or
• reading Quran brings serenity to heart
3. Make a real decision to implement
• eg.: 
• I have to study revise to be in the dean list
• I've got to read Quran after Maghrib, no matter what
4. Tell yourself that you are excited for it
• eg:
• I cant wait to succed in exam s i cant wait to studyyyyy!
• I cant wait to read Quran to have peace of mind!
5. Do small bit of it
• eg.:
• I'm gonna start today!

So that was from Dr Tawfique Chowdry. A great one. I love it

The talks after i was a bit of terhuyung hayang keawang awangan so this is some of them that i manage to capture:

• Zakah: Free us from greed of wealth
• so u better give out zakah as in belanja kawan2. thats the simplest.
• Solah:
•  If you want Allah to speak to u, open up the Quran
•  If you want to speak to Allah, do solah.

That's all love! Sorry if you cant really understand what i'm writing because of me writing it in dot points- simplest everr, ask for explanation k? insyaAllah i try to answer

me with baby Yousuf yg BAMBAMMMM

He getting a bit cranky of course he's sleepy and tired!

Have you summarize your 2011 highlights?

I'll try make it. Maybe here, maybe somewhere else. Maybe not doing it at all. I mean, what's the different if I'm doing it on the 31st of December or 1st of January or even 15th of January?

I don't bother WHEN because it is not the matter of WHEN. But it is the matter of............

Analyzing and Interpreting. 

Critically.

I kecewa, u kecewa tak?

Okay now I understand when people said don't put too much hopes on things that is still uncertain.
As long as it is not yet ours, don't put too much expectation on it because you won't want to feel the pain of falling down.

I fell tonight.
Just like my football team do.
Eh please la don't blame the goalie.
Yes it is his fault.
Everybody knew that.
But he won't want that to happen either.
Benda dah nak jadi.
I reckon he's already in pain after the injury that require the spray thingy on his knees.
Alah yang kutuk kaw kaw tu macam pandai main bola je kan.

But if i were him, I'll be very very guilty for the lose.
If it's not he who missed the ball, the score would be 1-1.
So please pity him.
My biggest pantang is seeing people living in regret.
Hey get a life lah!
Past is past.
Though I am those type, living in regret.
I never forget my mistakes.
Other's mistakes that affect me too.
I always tend to balas dendam.
In a way that treating them the way they treat me.
I am no good.

Esok sure roomate tanya menang@ kalah. sbb beriya jerit time first goal sampai dia yg tengah tdo terbangun and termarah diriku ini. okay sorry. my bad. dah tak menang. nk buat camana. shurtu.

Greg is a very good lecturer. Lectures die sume mmg sangat detail. Rase macam cikgu kat skoloh pn ade gok. spoon-feed. haha. He's alredy 50++.. Memang care ngajo pun kebapaan abih. klu org bising, mmg dok jekoh la. cume kate " guys, guys, please. this is all for your benefits. i aint get anything if u miss this" pastu klu dh panah ati sgt, ye diam je. sapa sume org senyap. baru sambung balik. Seniors pun kate he's a good lecturer.
I'm gonna miss u greg!
