Tomorrow is Friday, I'm going back! :)
Nothing worth of writing for today. Ouh, Yana is skyping with her family and was skyping with her brother. Hah, cute! I don't have a skype account and I don't think I want to make one. Probably not now.
I just noticed something weird. I have lots of work. I mean, assignments. We all do but I couldn't feel the burden, somehow. I don't know what this could possibly means. But I do feel bad for not really helping Shaspreet doing the history documentary. I'm sorry, Shas. I wish I could help more.
Arghh, I really don't have anything to write. You wouldn't want reading my post babbling about assignments and works. The thing is, that's the main priority in most of the students' minds here so.....yea.
Looking forward to tomorrow. I will meet Nana whom I haven't see for almost two months now. She's in a boarding school in Perak and I'm at Bangi. We don't have the same holiday schedule so yea, it's hard to see my sister.

Quran at Fajr by Nouman Ali Khan
A little talk by Nouman Ali Khan.
So, here's a little sharing from me for this morning. Take a few minutes to watch the video and I hope you gain something from it. But in case you don't have time to watch the video, let me point out a few things said by this brother in the video.
Basically, the video revolves around verse 78 of Surah al-Isra'. Translation of the verse:
Okay, the next part gets interesting. Allah said, "Quran of dawn". Here, it means, recite the Quran at fajr. Allah didn't say establish subuh prayer but instead He said Quran of dawn. It basically means, the Quran has its own right to be recited ruing fajr, during subuh time. Yes, it is still compulsory to establish subuh prayer but set aside a little bit of time after your subuh prayer to recite the Quran.
I've been trying to implement this verse in my daily life and I've practiced it for quite a few numbers of times and I must say, it really brings a lot of differences in my daily life. I guarantee you, practicing this small act will bring changes that you've never expected. The most miraculous thing is you'll see the difference immediately. You'll feel different but I can't really say how it is. You have to experience it for yourself.
So, people.
I think we should try, at least, to do this everyday. Even if we can't make it, at least, Allah sees our effort. At the end of the day, Allah sees our effort, not the effect. May Allah makes us among those who practice His religion.
That's it, people. Have a nice day! :)
Basically, the video revolves around verse 78 of Surah al-Isra'. Translation of the verse:
Establish prayer at the decline of the sun [from its meridian] until the darkness of the night and [also] the Qur'an of dawn. Indeed, the recitation of dawn is ever witnessed. [Surah al-Isra': 78]Allah has commanded Muslims to establish prayer, which means to pray, during maghrib until very late at night. Thus, we have to pray maghrib prayer and isya' prayer, on time. Then, it is also very much encouraged to wake up early in the morning and do tahajjud. It is mentioned in the verse above, "until the darkness of the night".

Subhi - my morning.
No, not that hilarious YouTube dude, Subhi :P
So...it's Monday. We had assembly, as usual. And Dr. Melor always said wise things during assembly. I always get inspired when she talks. I don't know, she must have some magical words that once they get out of her mouth, get straight into me.
Nothing much happen this morning. Woke up, toilet, ironing uniform and getting ready. Oh, sorry Nukman for not replying your message. I did not notice your message. One thing about me in the morning, don't try to contact me when I was in the toilet because I usually don't check my phone when I'm done with my shower. Usually, I check my phone when I'm going down the stairs for breakfast so yea, after this if I didn't reply anyone's message, it probably means I'm just getting ready for the day.
What else to write about...? I should do Mod Math assignment after this. So much assignments. Oh, a quick little something.

Be The Movement.
Charity walk for World Hunger Relief 2013 :)
This evening I accompanied my sister to Putrajaya for the charity walk. Such a serene feeling to be back at Putrajaya after so many months. I miss that place oh-so-dearly. The place that has taught me so much. It holds many memories.
The most interesting part for today is the St. John's Alumni Pipe Band (SJAPB). Upon the finishing line for the charity walk, there was a bagpipe and drum band playing songs for the walkers. I was sitting on the grass in front of Istana Kehakiman. Kakak started her walk and I don't want to stand waiting her to finish her 5KM walk so I sat. Then, I started hearing bagpipes sound and I thought they were going to play it for a few minutes. But then, somehow I got interested so I went to them and listened. They sounded really good. I was smiling all the way through their performance. Yes, I was smiling alone to the sound of them playing it and sometimes I chuckled 'cause they're just so good.
Oh, the 'skirt' as what we would call it, is actually called kilt. So, the Scottish don't wear skirt, people! They wear kilt. One thing that I noticed during the performance, the bagpipers had a way of tying their shoe laces. They took the shoe laces above their ankle and tied it at the front somewhere above the ankle. It was not like how we do it. It's different. Must be a scottish thing but I like how detailed they could be. In some of their photos (yes, I searched for their FB page because c'mon, a band that good deserves a 'good job' comment from the audience), they wore the scottish attire with songkok. They can play Malay songs with bagpipes. I could hear the song Lenggang Kangkung and this one song which I forgot the title.
Other than that, my day went normal. Woke up and pretty much that was it.
