USP o week was pretty nice :) At first, I was feeling rather weird being there since my OG mates already knew each other from camp. But then I realised they were really awesome people who were open to anything, even about my prayers and me wearing the scarf everywhere I went. So I was at ease when it came to the second day.

Im kinda looking forward to experiencing USP. It looks interesting :)

And now I am n deep trouble for misplacing my handphone manual...

The opening ceremony of Beacon Primary marked the closing of my chapter in that school. Six months went by really quickly. I am going to miss my colleagues and the kids there. Esp the kids!! They've showed me the beauty of innocence and the importance to have that spark of childlikeness in our lives. Come to think about it, wouldn't life be more interesting if we are amused over little things that occur everyday in our lives?

Of course there were bad moments but there were equally good ones. I learnt a lot and I can't be thankful enough to have been given this job. Alhamdulillah :)

Sch's starting in two weeks time and I am not really looking forward to it. Let's be optimistic k haslina? Insyaallah, i'll learn something new each day :)

'Scientists dream about doing great things. Engineers do them.'
-James A. Michener, Pulitzer Prize-Winner

Okay this quote made me a bit excited about my course. Hahaha. Then I told my dad and he said, "I thought it's supposed to be Engineers screw them?". Then he laughed at his own joke. Haha, so cute la my dad.

I am so so so lost for uni. I am not too sure how the entire system works over there. The whole bidding thing, etc etc. Plus, I still do have the tendency to sleep in talks or class so I am pretty sure I will be missig out on a lot in lectures. Haiz.

Plus my tutees just reminded me that PSLE is only 70-80 days away which is LESS THAN TWO MONTHS!!! I haven't even fully prepare them yet! Eeeks. Seriously, I feel so scared for them.

I love my mum. I love my dad. More than anyone else.

Each day I get to know more and more of the sacrifices they've made for me. Ever since I started working, I found out how difficult working life was yet my parents never complained as much as I did. Haha. And even when they weren't doing something for me, for my other siblings instead, I felt touched because I know that they would do the same for me. They've convinced me that no matter what happens, I have them to count on. For that, they are truly my pillars of strength.

When I see news of people not taking care of their parents, I feel sad. I mean, parents have done so much for their children and this is how they repay them? I pray that I will be given the strength in the future to be able to take care of my parents. Amin. I feel so so humbled by the fact that I have done so much wrong to them, yet they continue to treat me with the same amount of TLC.

Syukur Alhamdulillah, I am given a huge blessing in my life. That is, being able to feel and enjoy parents' love :) I cannot be more thankful.

redang pics are on my fb alr :)

i think i am falling sick, feeling super cold now. Had a very interesting conversation with Dr Tay just now. He gave me tips on uni, marriage and just life in general. I really think he's a fantastic employer.

An e-mail sofia sent me got me really overwhelmed. It was about how small we are compared to the whole universe. Truly, we are nothing compared to the Lord. We have so much limitations and weaknesses, especially me.

A random thought - blaming others for something which went wrong is not gonna help with anything. I used to do that a lot. Find something to blame whenever something goes haywire. Find someone to scold. And now I learnt that there's no point in that. It is still natural though for me to put the blame on something the moment sth wrong happens. Will have to slowly put off that habit, starting from now.

I feel a sudden change in me. Yesterday, during the muslim society orientation camp, I was reserved. I didn't make many friends. I didn't talk as much as I used to. Syikin asked why I was stoning and Safa said I looked like I couldn't be bothered to make friends.

I don’t know why but I started to choose my friends. And I only realized this yesterday. It made me feel really confused and guilty because by choosing my friends, I was being judgemental. Starting to judge the people around me. Who am I to judge others? Who am I to say that this person is a good person or this person is a bad person? That's being arrogant isn't it?

Both my parents told me something important: kawan biar seribu. My mum encouraged me to make friends with as many people as I could. Even then, I would have to know my limits when it comes to guys.

A lot of things are running through my mind these days and I have to tell myself not to think so much. I really wish I was the happy-go-lucky person I once was. The one who was able to make friends with everybody. The one who could hold a long conversation easily. Hopefully, I’ll get that old Haslina back.

anw, my house's washing machine can't be used so after 3 solid weeks, my hands will probably become more muscular and i'll get to appreciate the machine so much better. haha, trying to be optimistic here.

:) take care everyone!

I am feeling a bit down today but I can't seem to put a finger to it. Or maybe I am just tired.

I am not looking forward to the muslim society orientation camp. Not that it's not good or anything but I really do not like to go through the whole self-introduction thing. My parents are definitely more excited than me. My mum told me to keep my eyes wide open in case I meet any you-know-who and my dad told me to keep a look out for a ________ bin othman from computer engineering. Okayyyyyyy. haha

I've yet to upload any redang pictures cause there are so many beautiful ones and I can't choose!

work starts on tuesday and I am also not looking forward to that.

:)

i had the awesomest trip at redang with my makcik friends! thank you so very much rasyiqah, safa, dinah and hazi for making it as such. i love you all! :)

i love the beach, the sand is so fine and smooth. i love snorkelling, seeing the fishes and coral reefs. Fishes like Nemo and Dori and ikan bilis! hahaha. It's really masyaallah to see everything in so many different colours. Seeing Allah's water creations upclose. Woah, breathtaking.

We went karaoke too! Totally enjoyed singing and dancing our hearts out. Must have been due to all the stress we were facing back here in Singapore. My friends brought along make-up stuffs to try out different styles of make-up while I brought only lip balm. HEH. but i learnt a thing or two about make-up so i guess the trip was also an enriching one. hahaha.

Our room was a bit small but I guess we made do with it. Everyone was great company, seriously. I laughed so much with the makciks till my stomach hurt. I am definitely so so so glad we had this trip. Alhamdulillah :)

Pictures will be up once I get them from my friends. My own camera was pretty dormant so there are only a few pictures in it. haha, I know. Lazy me :P

Thank you to those who prayed for our safety. It's good to be home :)

so i am off to redang now.

I hope everyone will pray for my safety, as well as that of my friends. Insyaallah, we will have a safe journey :)

In case I do not come back, if I have offended you in any way, I would like to ask for your forgiveness.

insyaallah, I will have a fruitful and enjoyable trip. Amin!

take care everyone! :)

karate kid. very funny!
letters to juliet. I was pretty much emotionless when watching this. haha
but still, both are very enjoyable :D

off to redang in 20 hours time, and I have yet to finish packing! will be back either on 8th night or 9th morning :)

From Mishkat al-Masabih, transmitted by Ahmad and related by Mu'adh ibn Jabal whereby he asked Allah's Messenger, peace be upon him, as to which faith is excellent. He s.a.w said: "That you love (any person or thing) for the sake of Allah, hate for the sake of Allah, and that you keep your tongue busy in the remembrance of Allah. He said: Allah's Messenger is there anything besides this? He said: You like for the people what you like for yourself, and you dislike for them what you dislike for yourself.

masyaallah, I am not even anywhere close to this state.

i felt really happy to have met 3 of my nike juniors just now. glad to know they are all doing fine :)

We have, as human beings, a storytelling problem. We're a bit too quick to come up with explanations for things we don't really have an explanation for.
