Interesting Week  

Sunday, May 28, 2006

Very interesting indeed. Unfortunately, I can only tell those of utmost importance. I really have a lot of thngs to do before I go to bed...

On Tuesday, I quit Samba. I told them that Samba is not my kin of thing and they accepted it. On Wednesday, I joined MAG Titisan and I seriously think that's where I belong, though my parents are worried drama might affect my studies again.

On Friday, we had CCN Day. AF14 sold ice-cream floats. My job was just to advertise, but I didn't think I did a good job. I was better at taking candid photos of my classmates and some are really hilarious heheh.

After CCN Day, I went to Tampines Mall with my mum to buy a new phone, whee!!! It's a Nokia 7360. I took the student plan. Have 1000 free sms, ALL DAY free incoming call and 150min free outgoing call. First 3 months $13, subsequent 7 months $18 and the following year $30.20. I didn't want to take this plan but my dad calculated and said it's cheaper thsn my current plan, so ok lor! He's the one paying afterall...

On Saturday, I had MAG Titisan audition. I don't know how I did, though I know my audition is really short compared to others. I won't go into details, I gotta go now!

The Latest in my Life  

Monday, May 22, 2006

Finally, after so long, I get to blog again. Been busy studying for Biochem, HAP and Maths quizzes as well as religious class exams the past week. There's barely any time to switch on the computer what more blog! The quizzes/exams were ok... I think I can pass for all the quizzes. For my religious class exam, I should be able to get an A for Akhlak/Aqidah and Arab. Sadly, there's a possibility that I fail Ibadah. Well... After all I didn't study much for it.

Anyway, as some of you may know, I'd been rather sick (flu and cough and lotsa lotsa phlegm) and I was still sick yesterday. Guess what? Ustaz Azman was like making fun of me throughout the exam duration! The whole room, which have three classes in it, was like laughing AT ME! So bad... Then Ustaz Hatta joined him and they were like talking and talking. They even talk to me (and laugh at me for that matter). It was hard to concentrate, but by hook or by crook I had to finish my papers in 1 hour each. For Akhlak/Aqidah and Ibadah, I left a lot of the Section C open-ended questions blank. What was I supposed to do?? I was already so sleepy from spending the night studying. For your info, I slept at 4am on the floor in the living room and woke up at 7am to continue studying. I know it’s so last minute. Yah, my fault also lar, procrastinate procrastinate. Help!!! This can’t go on if I wanna excel in my studies. I must be consistent, sigh…

Oh yah, did you know that the buildings at the CBD area (I think… It’s that area from Orchard to Shenton Way, passing by the Padang, Esplanade and Singapore Convention Centre) look really nice at night?? I just discovered that yesterday when I passed by the area on the way to and from Harbourfront to fetch my mum. The esplanade was simply stunning! And all those tall buildings! I really regretted not bringing along my camera. I would have, if I had known the beauty of the area at night… I really regretted it. I really love taking landscape pictures. I’d taken a lot of pictures of the landscapes in/from TP. I wish I can upload them and post them here. TP is a really nice place, though small.

Haiz… I’m so hungry liao… I bought the Mee Goreng from the ITAS canteen during lunch just now. It looked and tasted really great the other day Ad bought it, but today is just a mass of burnt mee and egg. Salty! I think I’ll go Mac after this. The twister fries are back!!!! Right? I’d been wanting to eat it since last week.
Back to updates. Last Tuesday, I went to TP Samba Band practice at the Arts Space. It was… rather… I dunno. I guess it’s just not my type of thing. I enjoy music, but maybe playing an instrument is just not my forte. I was planning to quit, but I dunno what made me say “I will” when a few of the Samba members asked me to come tomorrow this afternoon. I really wanna join Drama Tec or MAG Drama or TPSU or ASSC, but what should I do about Samba?? I don’t wanna have two CCAs again. It really took a toll on me in secondary school. I wanna concentrate in my studies, so I can prove to my parents I can still make it to university. Know what? My mum still hasn’t come to terms me being in poly instead of JC. I’m sure it was just a slip of the tongue, but aren’t slips of the tongue the hidden truth most of the time? I cried when I heard it. Does L1R4=13(after minus CCA bonus points) means I’m a failure?? No right?! It’s no use if I do really well for the Biochem, HAP and Maths quizzes. My mum would just say something like, “It’s just the first quiz”. What happened to moral support parents are supposed to give? Where’s the “I know you can do it if you work hard enough” or “I’m right behind you” kinda lines we normally read in novels and words we hear on tv? Reality often sucks. Gee.

Anyway, my uncle passed away due to liver/lungs failure two weeks ago on 5/5/06. It was really unexpected. I didn’t even know he was sick. All of a sudden at 4am in the morning, my mum woke me up saying my uncle is on the brink of death at the hospital. We reached there in time for his last breath, but he was already comatose… I wasn’t close to him, but it left a huge impact on me. My uncle could have been me. My uncle could have been my direct family members. I saw my grandma and mum cry. They’ve lost a son and a brother. I can’t imagine what it’d be if my brother goes before me. There’s too many memories that would haunt me day and night for weeks I’m sure. At the same time I wonder what I’d do if God decides to take my parents. I’m one of those very lucky people who still have both a father and a mother and they are still together. Very lucky indeed.

Let’s go to a lighter note. I wanna buy a new handphone!!! At first, I had my eyes on Nokia 7360, but after seeing the functions my mum’s Nokia 7370 have, I also want Nokia 7370!!! But the Nokia 7370 like fat and heavy… I like to hang my phone around my neck and fat handphones make ME look fat. My dad has agreed to give me $50 for it. I don’t really know what’s holding me back actually. I think my phone is worth $80-100 if I were to trade it in…

I spend nearly an hour here already... I came to the library to do Maths and study for PIPC lehx!!! Aiyo, me so bad, haha. Anyway, check out my caregroup AF14's moblog here!

School Computer *squels*  

Thursday, May 04, 2006

My first time using school computer (okay lar, third if you count the two times I use for like <10 minutes...) and by hook or by crook I must leave a footprint lol. Actually I'm supposed to be in OC tutorial now, BUT, no no don't worry I didn't skip class or anything of that sort, it's just that class is postponed to God knows when.

Hmm... I should really be heading home to revise or do something more worth while instead of trying to leave a footprint on my blog while using the school computer. Haha I know this is extremely pathetic but who cares?! Not me! :P

Anyway, finally bought the HAP and Biochem textbook. Shared with Ad to buy a new copy instead of buying second hand ones. The reason we did this is because firstly, the books if not shared cost a bomb and secondly, we gotta motivate ourselves to study CONSISTENTLY and not procrastinate to the last minute. I still remember a senior's 'words of wisdom' on Speech Day last year. It's CPF which stands for Consistency, Perseverance (I think) and Focus. These three helped him to be the top student for the batch before mine in TMS. Sounds like good advice. I'm gonna try using this CPF and see how it works out for me. I think my perseverance and focus is ok, about average, there's still room for improvement of course, but I really need to be consistent in my work. I loveD to procrastinate. I don't intend to do so in poly. I'm on the first topic for most of my subjects and I'm already going bonkers. To prove this, yesterday I just freaked out when I got to know there's homework. But on second thought, who wouldn't?? I was already about to go to sleep happily when Ad asked me about the homework lor...

Hmm... I need to print out Biochem lecture notes. How to print???

Aiyar I think I go home already lar. Wanna go nap... Tired y'know... Haha, tired of crapping all day long. Tataz! ( Still in a dilemma on what CCA to join... Any suggestions?)

The Hijab/tudung  

I was just browsing the internet looking for Brothers' 'Teman Sejati' lyrics when I came across this:

What is the purpose of the Hijab? The purpose of the Hijab in Islam is not to cut Muslim women from participating in the activities of the society or to keep men and women utterly segregated or to make it hard for women to function normally in life. Rather, the Hijab is to help women maintain their dignity and honour as free persons and to help them fulfill their obligation smoothly and comfortably.

The Hijab has been prescribed for your own good dear sister. It protects you from the lusty intentions of evil people. The Hijab is meant to preserve your dignity, O Muslim sister!

Hence like all other Shari’ah-based commands, Hijab should be given due care, for it brings countless fruits and benefits. Hijab is the proper Islamic dress code, which is primarily intended to safeguard modesty, dignity and honour of men and women. In instructing you to wear the Hijab, Allah has given Muslim women what they can bear of injunctions and obligations, for Allah says,

“And We do not lay on any soul a burden except to the extent of it’s ability, and with Us is a Book which speaks the truth, and they shall not be dealt with injustly.” (Al-Mu’minune 23: 62)

What are the requirements of the Hijab? The requisites of Hijab or proper Islamic clothing for women:-

1. It should cover the whole body except face and hands. (may cover face and hands if you wish so)

2. It should be loose-fitting.

3. It should not be transparent or revealing.

4. It should not be an attire specifically worn by men only.

The above is a part of an article from here. Take a look!

I hope by putting this up, some of you out there understand why we Muslims must wear the hijab/tudung. Actually my hijab is incomplete, whoops! Haha, will try to lessen the times I wear tight-fitting clothes aite! Until one time I can not wear them anymore...
