Here's a shoutout to my bioengin friends! thanks so much for all your help this semester.. answering my 1001 questions (even the day before exams), replying my late night smses etc.. you guys are really awesome. I think my bioengin cohort is very competitive but everyone's so helpful to each other. and we are pretty close so alhamdulillah :)
After this semester, I've finally found some interest in my course and I actually wouldnt mind pursuing further studies on it, if my results allow it. alhamdulillah.. you never know how a simple prayer can change your life. I used to hate my course and it got so bad that I would pray for Allah to light a spark of interest in bioengineering in my heart. Just a tiny weeny spark would do. And alhamdulillah, Allah has answered my prayer. I feel pretty blessed to have been thrown into this course suddenly. Hopefully, my results will be better this semester insyaAllah :)
exams are overrrrrr!!!!! *do the crazy monkey dance* haha.. alhamdulillah, can finally enjoy my semester break :D it feels really good. alhamdulillah :)
oh btw, to those who approach me outside and I happen to give you this blank look like as though I don't know you, please please do not be offended. I tend to forget people whom I've met before because I seriously believe that I have short term memory. and you know that weird moment in the middle of the conversation when I ask you for your name, I hope you seriously do not mind it :/
“Ya Rasulullah, may peace and blessings be upon you forever, you give me courage. Your example gives me strength. Learning about you teaches me patience. You went through so much Ya Rasulullah, so much yet you still smiled and you were still kind. And when the people of At-Taif almost stoned you, and you were all alone, you still did not allow Jibreel, alayhisalam to destroy them, you still had patience. Your example teaches me patience. That no matter what I go through or any of us as your Ummah go through, we have no excuse not to smile because you went through more and were still able to smile. My gift to you is to keep smiling and to remain patient. Ya Rasulullah, the beloved of my Rab, may peace and blessings be forever upon you, I cannot wait for the day till you hand me my own cup from the fountain of Kauthar. Inshaa’Allah. And If i don’t make it to there, please ask Allah to save me from the fire, I love you and I love the one who Created you even more.”
DJ Teddy got a purple flower today! haha.. he's my stress reliever. Sometimes, when studying, I talk to him, cuddle him, punch his buncit stomach and scratch his head.. haha yes, childish I know. I'm 5 years old frankly speaking.
I wanna live there. A simple and peaceful life. Running across the fields like there's no tomorrow. Staring at the clouds on top of the mountains like it's the most beautiful thing on earth. Maybe plant lots and lots of flowers and gaze at them every single day. I'll make friends with the birds. I'll sing as I do my daily job. When the sun sets, and it gets really dark, I'll light up some candles and write my own story in my diary.
Wouldnt that be nice? :)
ok dream on haslina. Biochem paper this saturday. Go study.
I dont even know what I can believe in the media nowadays. So many information that simply do not make sense to me. And it's not helping that there's this so-and-so country that is capable of creating lies every now and then and then using the media to blow things out of proportion. What's their purpose?
In uni, I learn of areas that people are trying to develop. Impossible possibilities I call it. Spending so much money doing research just because they found a shred of evidence. I mean, we clearly know the truth and people should just accept it. Areas like creation of life, reversing process of ageing to slow down death. MasyaAllah, all these are in the hands of the Creator. Millions of dollars are spent on really unimportant research and I truly feel that the money could have been put to better use elsewhere. Like come on, people are dying of starvation out there! Oh wells, just my two cents worth. I guess the world can be a depressing place at times but hey, let's be more optimistic.
The pictures taken from my mum's photo album on fb are so pretty! Too bad I couldn't go for the World Orchid Conference :( The flowers look so pretty masyaAllah. I love looking at flowers. I can just stare at them the whole day! :D Plus I missed Kak Hanisah's bday celebration also (Happy Bday Kak Hanisah!). And outing with yai and family at punggol waterway. All cause of my exams :( Shall remember my dad's words, "Seeking knowledge requires sacrifice". I hope I'll do better this semester, insyaAllah. Really really hope I can obtain the minimum I need to stay in USP. or I think I will be sad. Okay not I think. I know. Haha. Can't wait for exams to end! I have so many books I wanna read. There's the autobiography on Malcolm X, the sirah books which Abg Hafiz bought, the dua books by ustaz and Kak Farhana bibi and the book entitled 'Dont be sad'. Oh the ideal muslimah book also! wheeeeee so exciting!!!!!! 29th nov faster come!!!! okay not too fast though cos I havent finish revision.. like fast but not too fast! okay im starting to talk with irrelevance. bye.
Just the video I needed when revision for signals module seems to be testing every ounce of patience I have. I went to youtube and randomly landed on this video. Alhamdulillah! :)
Kadang-kadang manusia tu akan rasa kesunyian dan kesepian, tanpa mempunyai tempat bergantung. Kadang-kadang manusia tu akan rasa kesedihan dan keperitan, tanpa mempunyai tempat mengharapkan simpati. Jika kita terus mencari untuk mendapatkan ketenangan dari sesiapa atau apapun dalam dunia ni, kita tidak akan dapat meraihkannya kecuali dengan memohon pertolongan dari Allah. Alhamdulillah, Allah itu ada. Sentiasa di sisi makhluk-makhluk yang disayangi-Nya...
Ya Allah, berikanlah kami kekuatan dan ketenangan untuk menghadapi segala dugaan-Mu. Jauhkanlah kami daripada jalan yang sesat, jalan yang akan membawa kami ke dalam neraka. Ameen ya Rabbal Alamiin...
Final presentation on Thursday marked the end of our 'Real-Time Dehydration Detection Device' project. I've truly enjoyed every minute of it I must say cos of my wonderful group. Seriously, everyone in the group is so funny and intelligent! Me as an exception la. I never fail to laugh in every project meeting that we have :D Gettting started was tough but after that, things were pretty smooth alhamdulillah. Kudos to everyone! I apologise if I've ever done anything wrong to you guys or owe you guys anything. Didnt mean it yeah.
Thank you so so much for helping me throughout the project :) It's sad that an experience has ended but hopefully we'll have many more memories together, being in the same cohort :) If you guys ever bump into me in sch, pls dont pretend you dont know me and say hi. Yes, even you cee kiuuuuu! hahaha kk kidding :P All the best for your exams and may our device get selected for next semester! InsyaAllah :)
As I watched the way he wore his baju kurung and took his chair in preparation to answer Allah's call, my heart was filled with admiration. He then said his takbir and slowly sat down on the chair and began his prayers with much concentration and devotion. Later on, as I observed the way he ate, the way he drank, the way he walked, the way his eyes looked around, the way he was silent, for a moment, tears filled my eyes. I watched the way he ate his papaya, coughed out some and threw them in the dustbin, moving on to his next piece. He ate very little today. I gave him a piece of keropok and he joyfully ate it. Like a child eating his lollipop. He loves his keropok udang. He ate slowly and I just sat there, seeing him take his bites. He talks less now and sleeps more. And as I recalled all the long conversations we used to have together, tears rolled down my cheeks. I pray that Allah will bless him with a lot more years to come. InsyaAllah ameen...
I wanna be a 'SMILE' ambassador! I truly believe that no one should be frowning. It doesn't take much to smile. EVERYONE SHOULD SMILE. Even if it doesn't make you happy, it makes other people happy :) A friendship always starts with a smile...Smile and say Alhamdulillah :D
Don't forget to make prayers for our Muslim brothers and sisters around the world who are facing oppression or suffering. May Allah ease their hardship, insyaAllah..
The older I get, the less I expect but the more I receive. Syukur Alhamdulillah :)
Yesterday I turned 20. To some, it's 'LIKE FINALLY!!!!!!'. hahaha but to others, age is just a number :) Thinking about my teenage years...one by one the sweet memories come to play. Cedar days were simply awesome and fun! JC days were just crazyyyyy hahaha. Ive never had more fun in my entire life than in my secondary and jc days. No kidding :D When it got to my beacon days, things were more serious, more emotional but nevertheless, extremely meaningful. Uni freshmen year was just a rollercoaster ride, but the time when I grew the most in faith :) Alhamdulillah..
Thank you Allah for my family who's been there through it all, watching me grow and mature(I hope I did :P) and shaping me into who I am today. May Allah bless all of you :)
To my lovely friends, thank you so much for offering me your friendship throughout these years. Apologies if I havent been a good friend. Thank you very much for all your duas and wishes :)

Thank you.. Really alhamdulillah.. MasyaAllah, so much blessings from Allah.. Words can't describe the emotions I felt these past few days :)

I attended a sister's halaqah over the weekend at the mosque. Alhamdulillah, it was wonderful to sit there amongst other sisters and learn and be reminded of our duties as Muslims and our roles as members of society.
I first want to say that anything good or right in the paragraphs below is strictly from Allah and anything wrong is from me. These are the notes that I took while listening to the lecture and if I've erred, then I pray that Allah and all of you will forgive me.
We may have heard many of these points throughout our lives as Muslims but we can always benefit from reminders, Insha'Allah. The main topic of this lecture was on Allah's love for His mankind. The lecture was in Urdu and I again apologize if there were any discrepancies in the translation.
The sister in charge of the halaqah started off by reminding us that as women, our roles do not end with being sisters, daughters, wives, and mothers. We are also to be nurturers of our deen {religion}. And we must start nurturing our deen in our homes before we can even think about branching it out. Above all else, we should support each other. We cannot be successful in this life without the support of one another.
We are also to be humanists. And our mission in life is to save humanity. We do that by spreading the word of Allah SWT.
The lecture than continued to naming the attributes of Allah swt, His names and His characteristics. One thing that really struck me was when the sister said that all the names of Allah swt showcased His love for His creation.
For instance:
-Al-Wadud means The Loving One. He loves us 70 times more than our own mothers. 70 TIMES! and MORE THAN OUR OWN MOTHERS. just imagine that. If we are truly repentant, He extends His love to us despite our sins. MasyaAllah. Astarghfirullah. -Al-Muhaymin means The Guardian. He protects us. Even when we don't ask for it. -Ar-Rahman means The Compassionate. -Ar-Rahim means The Merciful. He is full of mercy. Just ask Him. -Al-Ghaffar means The Forgiving. He forgives over and over and over again. When He forgives, He NEVER brings the sins forward. -Al-Ghafur means The Forgiver and The Hider of Faults. He covers our sins. From others, from angels, and even the Earth. -Ar-Razaq means The Sustainer. He is the provider of EVERYTHING. Oxygen to breathe. Food. Drink. He provides for EVERYONE, even those that do not ask Him for anything and those that are not deserving of His rahmah {mercy}. -Al-Kareem means The Generous. He Gives even when we don't ask Him. He never tires of giving, no matter how much we ask Him. In fact, He gets upset if we don't ask Him. MasyaAllah. -Al-Mujib means The Responder to Prayer. -At-Thawwab means The Guide to Repentance. Again, He forgives over and over again. -As-Sabur means The Patient One. In spite of our ungratefulness and our sins, Allah is patient with us and continues to grant us blessings every single day.
Allah does not need us to worship Him. In fact, he has thousands and thousands of angels whose sole purpose is to praise Him day and night. Yet, Allah would like us to praise Him, to obey Him and to submit to Him. He still loves us even though He doesn't need us. When a person comes to Allah, despite having spent her entire day committing sin after sin, and says, or even just thinks "Ya Rabb" {Oh, Lord}, Allah accepts her RIGHT THEN. No questions asked.
The ustazah than gave us an example. She said to think of a baby that's just learning to walk. As he toddles towards his beloved mother, she stands with her hands spread in front of her, ready to catch her baby should he stumble and fall. Just like she has feared, he begins to wobble. Before he hits the ground and possibly hurts himself, she reaches out and catches him. That's how Allah stands ready to catch His creation should we fall. And He waits for us to return to Him, no matter how far we've fallen. And should we ask for His forgiveness with a true heart, He gladly hands it over.
Remember, when making du'a, appeal to Allah by using His beautiful names. Call out to Him. Keep His name on your lips. Walk to Him. He will run to you.
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.
