Assalamualaikum.

It's 12.25am, and I am a bit sleepy. However, since it has been a long time since the last time I post something here, then here I go.

Currently, I am listening (and watching) MTV at 713. It shows Adele's music video of Someone Like You. Immediately I remembered Ashraf, Daman and Amir, the former TDP Australia students at BMI. Ashraf really like this song. He used to play it every time.hee.

They are leaving for their respective universities, this coming February. Not only them but other TDP Australia from other campuses like MFI and MICET. I hope all of them will get excellent results for their second semester as the results are compulsory requirements for them to enter the universities. Ahh, they are excellent students. No fuss. haha :D

As for us, the TDP UK students, we are expecting our IELTS results this coming Friday. Hopefully, no one will repeat the test or else RM570 is off to British Council.Yikes. As for the BMI students, we are expecting our finals results, also on the same day. why oh why.

Oh yes. Just now, around 7.30 pm to 10 pm, there was a spectacular natural phenomena, which was the lunar eclipse. It was really wonderful to see it. Prior to this phenomena, we as Muslims are encouraged to perform solat sunat. The kaifiyyat for this solat sunat is a bit different compared to other solat sunat.

After my family and I performed the prayers, we listened to a khutbah special for this phenomena. Generally, the content of the khutbah is about the lunar eclipse, the reasons why we are encouraged to perform the solat sunat and also to remind us all, who are always in negligence and disobedience towards Him, to return to the right path. To always acknowledge Allah as The Almighty and to remember that all of us are just small, tiny and helpless creatures, who is always in need of strength from Him.

There is this verse from the Qur'an, which the khatib read in his khutbah. It goes like this:

Say: "Nothing will happen to us except what Allah has decreed for us; He is our Protector". And on Allah let the believers put their trust.

InsyaAllah we can learn something from this verse. Everything has been planned by Him.

Waillaliqa' maassalamah.

.sem2+1.

Assalamualaikum.

My first semester in UniKL is almost up. It is Week 14 right now and another 14 days to go before my finals. Yet, my preparations aren't sufficient enough. huh.

Never mind. From what I've observed for the past few weeks, there are a lot of things happened. Firstly is the I-camp, organized by my co-curricular club, Rakan Masjid. It was held at Sg Congkak, Hulu Langat. My first time going there though. A nice place to bring family or friends to feel the nature.

Generally, it was a great experience. I have the chance to get to know other students in my campus and also have the chance to hear good talks. But, the best part of the program is being able to learn more regarding slaughtering; the Islamic way, both theory and practical.

The late kambing

Before leaving for BMI

Next, is regarding the visit from MARA. An officer from MARA came and distribute our offer

letter. After months of waiting, at last the letter reached our hands and our university placement has already been decided. Alhamdulillah, I was offered the University of Leeds. InsyaAllah, all 21 of us will be pursuing our 2nd year at our respective universities.

Lately, I have been thinking of something and these thoughts kept on lingering in my mind and sometimes it did crash my dreams, several times actually. I hope the upcoming examinations will help to remove these thoughts, for awhile.

In the same time, I can 'smell' and sense something fishy is going on. I just know it. (This got nothing to do with the above sentences.)
