Post-Exam Syndrome

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah. Alhamdulillah, exam dah habis hari Selasa minggu lepas! Tapi bagi aku, last paper tuh tak berapa reliable, sebabnya after 20 minutes, tetiba ada fire alarm yang paaannjjjaaanng..semua orang kena evacuate Sackville Building tuh,sementara menunggu boleh masuk balik, berlakulah sesi diskusi di merata-rata..lepas habis alarm tuh bising,exam disambung semula..huhu,aper punya exam daa..
Sebelum exam habis lagik, dah plan macam-macam.
Antaranya :
1. Marathon movie, termasuklah menonton Shrek 3 dan menonton semula Pirates of Caribbean 3, dan melayari Youtube untuk tengok apa benda yang ada.

2. Melawat dan memeriahkan umah Abang Raja.

3. Final shopping untuk membeli barang-barang balik umah
4. Berkemas-kemas, packing nak balik
5.Berkunjung ke Leeds dan York.

6.Update friendster
7. Download lagu dan movie, transfer lagu ke mobile phone.

tapi..itu hanya perancangan manusia.Apa yang terjadi selepas exam ialah :
1. Membawa kawan dari Bristol berjalan-jalan di sekitar Manchester dan membeli belah. Tapi bukannya dia yang banyak membeli, aku yang banyak bawak beg plastik.


2.Berbarbeque bersama Abang Raja & family, dan jugak adik-beradik angkatku di Platfield.Habis berasap Platfield tuh.

3. Shopping dilakukan beberapa kali, dalam 3-4 siri, bermula pada hari Selasa minggu lepas lagi, dan baru berakhir pagi Isnin tadik. kata seorang kawan kepadaku : Tak sangka nafsu shoppingmu begini. Oit, aku bukan shopping untuk diri seniriklah!Sesungguhnya telah penuh Luggage 27 inch tuh dengan segala barang-barang daripada barang Manchester United hinggalah Kotak-kotak coklat tapi takdak satu pun untuk aku senirik!..( mempertahankan nafsu shopping?? )

4.Aku tidak dapat menonton Youtube mahupun movie-movie yang dah tengok sebelum nih, sebabnya Sound System ku rosak!!..Walaupun setelah aku transfer segala fail termasuklah My documents, my picture, dan semua lagu ke CD,Windows Media Player masih tersekat-sekat..nampaknya hardware rosak,huhu..padan mukaku,download banyak-banyak tapi kapasitiku 40 GB ja..aku tidak sabar mahu Reformat!


5. Mengemas barang. Sekarang tengah berserabut tahap giga bilikku ini. Beg yg nak bawak balik umah sudah penuh dengan barang-barang shopping sahaja.Pasti terkejut orang di rumah bila bukak beg ku nanti, student ker salesgirl kah ini??


Aku mahu sambung packing.

Pengajaran hari ini : Kalau nak buat apa pun, tengoklah capacity, sama ada dalam downloading mahupun shopping.

Tima kasih. Full stop.

p/s : Mungkin ini entry terakhir sebelum balik Malaysia.

The New Quranic Generation..in Making



Mirwana - The New Quranic Generation Remake 2005

The prophet said
You cannot turn to Allah
Or gain His love
With anything superior
Than reading the Quran

He also reminded us
I leave two advisors
One which speaks
And the other is silent

One which speaks
Is the Quran
One which is silent
Is remembrance of death

He also said
The best among you
Is he who learns the Quran
And teaches it

We are the best
Let us be the best
Let us be Men of Quran

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah.

A sister said to me :

If you want to see the establishment of an Islamic Country, then you must constitute it in your heart first.

Undoubtedly true.Coz the character of a country depends on the behaviour of its citizens.
Building an Islamic Country in your heart means following the teachings of al-Quran and Sunnah as a whole, not part by part. This is what Mirwana said : Be Men of Quran..and to achieve that title , means Quran and Sunnah do not merely present in your prayer or Dua or Saum ( Fasting ) or Zakat or al-Hajj or Zikr..
Islam should also present in our :

1 ) Eyes :
- Adoi, I just finished watching Pirates of the Caribbean 3 after the Killer Physical Pharmacy paper, still trapped in the created Legend of Jack Sparrow,The Charm of Will Turner,the myth of Davy Jones The Cuttlefish, the Violence of Becket..erk!!..( Is this a quranic eye ? )..and just finished downloading Shrek 3,hmm..

2 ) Ears :
- yeah I like Indonesian Nasheed but oups..! one of my favourite songs is also Pangeran Cinta by Dewa ( Rocks, huhu..), still fond of Malay Rock Legends in 1980's eg BPR,Lefthanded,Bloodshed...have and enjoy full collection of MLTR (Micheal Learns To Rock) best songs,.erk!..

3 ) Words : Do my words resemble me as a Muslim?
- An unforgettable story. At Sunway, I was discussing about choosing the right university with a classmate. She is a Christian, very strong Christian. While discussing about how to choose, unexpectedly I heard these beautiful words :

` I pray to God that He will help me in choosing the right place. I believe, He will choose the best for me'..

My face showed no reaction, as far as I remembered. But deep in my heart, I was shocked, with some elements of impression. Her faith is strongly instilled within each aspect of her life, such that she spontaneously expressed her confidence in God...AND I say spontaneous because we were not talking about praying or religion or other related topics,we just talked about universities!..She is really proud of her belief..and I think, that's why she managed to attract my two other classmates who were initially free-thinker, to become Christians...
Malu, sangat malu..coz I couldnt express that I'm proud of Islam as well,I didnt reply her words at that time, I just smiled and agreed..am I not a real Muslim yet, such that Allah did not inspire me to say similar words to her?..am I as secularist, such that I only talk about Islam when we discuss about religion and faith, but put Islam aside when discussing about universities?Are we so special, such that we only talk about Islam when we have camps, when we have kulliah, but we zip our mouth from Islam when we chat with our non-Muslim coursemates? or Even our tutors?..hmm..

Am I qualified to be a member of new quranic generation?
Are we?
Unless massive changes take place, a song will always be a song..
and am I ready for the massive change?..

Still, hard to forget JACK SPARROW.and Dewa.and Samsons.and Will Turner.

Till then.Full stop.

p/s : Still have one battle to go. Microbiology.I missed some of the lectures. Must study!!..
