Dedicated to my Beloved Dad.. Joffri Bin Mohamed
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Sometimes we do overlook the sacrifice and the role of our father in the family. We used his money frivolously, without thinking about how hard he works to earn that amount..
As for my dad, I truly respect and admire him. He works really hard for our family. He is the breadwinner. I know I should work but I cant drive therefore it will be harder for me to travel to work. I should start driving. I have called the instructor and ask her to get back to me.
Thats the first step to help the family. You see, my doesnt drive and doesnt work.
My dad is a very busy man. Sometimes, I do feel sorry for him.

King of Kings - Understanding the Names and Attributes of Allah :: Melbo...
Another mind blowing course that I went to yesterday.. MashaAllah most of the doubts and questions I had in my mind were answered..
Although there are still alot of confusions out there.. Ultimately, if we return to the Quran and Sunnah, everything in the world will make sense. I swear..
There is no use for us to label others as Salafi, Wahabi etc as long as they believe in Allah and Muhammad as HIs Messenger and believe what has been revealed through the divine book, Al-Quraan Al-Kareem, i couldnt care less.
This Ummah needs to be united, not deviated. Im not convinced about anything without clarification and evidence from the Quran n Sunnah and those practiced by the Companions of the Prophets.
There is no need for us to ridicule, label, criticize each other as we dont have time to do that..
To my dear Umises whether u read this or not, remember when we had such wonderful times organizing IAW? How organized we were by the will of Allah, the events turned out great?
And we all know that we are doin all this for the sake of Allah.. the more we want to be closer to Allah, bear in mind that we will be tested. This is our test. Seek Allah's guidance so that we could solve this matter in the best manner inshaAllah. And we need to pass this test and not dissolve.
I truly love UMIS and strive for Islam, at the same time, I need to bear in mind that I will be tested. I ask Allah to make it easy for us to go through all the trials and tribulation in striving for His cause and we will be the savior of the Ummah who really needs us right now. We cant afford to lose anyone over a small matter.
I am looking fwd to go to the knowledge hive inshaAllah.. but a lil bit nervous abt the exam..
InshaAllah khayr.
اللهم رب جبريل وميكائل و اسرافيل فاطر السماوات والارض أنت تحكم بين عبادك فيما كانوا فيه يختلفون اهدنا لما إختلف فيه من الحق بإذنك انك لتهدي من تشاء قدير وأنت حسبنالله ونعم الوكيل

Im coming to this one too inshaAllah =D
Loving the weather.. =D
Salams everyone,
It has been some time since I update my blog.
Days had been very busy with various activities.. I always have something to do every single day and I must plan my day if not I'll be slacking..
Anyways, weather in Melbourne has been very hectic over the week.. I remembered last monday it was 34C.. scorching hot. and after 2 days it rains heavily and it flooded and hailed..
It kept raining till the temperature reached 12C which is freezing cold for Spring I reckon.. and few days till summer..
Melbourne's weather is subhanallah very unique. Im loving it =D
Imagine going through 35-40C every single day for 3 months I dont think I can survive. SO alhamdulillah thank God Melbourne has 4 seasons in a day =D. Although it is because of climate change, I dont think it is pure evil.. There are some positive aspects of it..I reckon..
Im longing going to the beach.........=(
I'm done Alhamdulillah.. =D

Salams..
18th November 2010 marked the end of my 2nd semester of my 2nd year.. Im goin to third year inshaAllah.. 2 n half yr to be precise coz I deferred to do my Arabic diploma..
I did pretty bad in my Arabic Oral. I wud say that was my worst oral of all. It has alot of facts. Not just conversations. The topics covered were pretty boring sometime as it has a lit of complicated expressions which are beyond my interest hehe.. But InshaAllah I will manage to pass this and move on next year.
I truly believe in this: Verily, after every hardship, the is relief. I was soo depressed before but alhamdulillah by the will of Allah I have managed to overcome it.
Allah doesnt burden a soul m0re than what he could bear. And Indeed I have acknowledged that it is not possible for The Creator of the heaven and the earth, the universe to actually make yourhard exams easy if He wishes. Subhanallah wa bihamdihi Subhanallahil azdhiim..
Alhamdulillah..
Now, Need to plan my Summer Holiday Project... Ive got 13 weeks 3 days aka 94 days to do everything that I need to as well as prepare myself psychologically, physically, physiologically, spiritually for the hot weather.. InshaAllah Khayr.. =D
Mode: Panicking... =S

Salams..
Today's date is 15th November 2010. Subhanallah, Time really flies even when ur not having fun.. at all.. It means that the Day of Judgement and death is nearer every single day. At the same time, you have to do as much good deeds as though you are living forever..
Life is complicated subhanallah.. It meant to be.. My exam is tomorrow and I am really nervous. I ask Allah to give peace and calmness to my heart. I have an Oral exam for Arabic which I have to memorize. I ask Allah to make me remember if I forget.. Allah.. I am nervous indeed. I think it is because tomorrow is my first exam.
Alot of things going through my head right now and I dont know what I should do..
Tomorrow is the Day of Arafah inshaAllah. So I will try to fast and not miss the reward that Allah has prepared for us. Suddenly I feel the urge to go for Umrah.. But not able to at the moment due to financial reasons. I guess I need to start working.. but I wont be able to concentrate on my studies.. Oh God, what should I do?
Maybe I should focus on my exams first and I will be free on thursday inshaAllah.
When I thought about it. We know when our exams exactly are in the world and we make preparations for it. I mean extensive preparations..
But sometimes we do forget that we have a real exam awaiting for us but we dont know when. So we need to be prepared ALL THE TIME.. which I usually failed to be.. An exam which will determine whether you will receive your book with your right or left.. whether be eternal bliss or torment.. whether you will be amongst the beloved or cursed... Allahu Akbar!!
اللهم أجرنا من النار وادخلنا الجنة دار السلام !!
سبحان الله وبحمده سبحان الله العظيم
.ربنا آتنا في الدنيا حسنة وفي الأخرة حسنة وقنا عذاب النار

MultiTasking.. When im not supposed to.. =S
Salams...
I cant believe that I have been staying at home for almost a week now.. Since my Myki expired on 2nd November LOL..
Yeah Im trying to save money by not going to the city to study.. So, I stayed home and supposedly study for my exams.. 6days!! (freaking out).. Anyways.. Alhamdulillah I'm still alive..
Having Facebook deactivated, appearing offline on MSN my life on the net has been quite empty.hehe.. But I tend to do lots of multitasking at home which I am not supposed to do because I need to study.. Oh well I used it as an excuse not to study haha..
For some reason I got easily distracted by people.. I mean very easily.. Thats why I usually sit right at the front of the lecture theatre so that I can concentrate on the lecture rather than people sitting in front of me. Apart from that, I'm short sighted hehe and I lost my glasses and broke the other one.. Im technically 'blind' atm.
Oh yeah so I have been cleaning the house, cooking for the family, do gardening in my backyard which is turning into a forest now.. I cant afford to be 'lost' in my backyard so I have to spend 2 hours every evening pulling out weeds with my hands.. (OMG my hands are aching and very rough now)..
I have been cooking various dishes.. I enjoyed cooking so yeah.. I dont mind.. Just that I felt guilty afterwards.. Btw, I have just finished making Teriyaki Chicken Sushi hehe..
Anyways.. Yeah alot of things are on my head now.. This morning, after Fajr Prayer, I spent 2 hours writing on what I need to do over Summer.. hehe I know that Im not supposed to coz I need to focus on my exams.. Hmm too excited for Summer although I may not have holidays.. Oh Well, inshaAllah it will be a fruitful one..
I need to get back to track with genetics and arabic... But I still need to do more cleaning in the kitchen especially with the stove, cupboards etc before our guests come from Selangor.. My bedroom is super clean now but not sure about tomorrow coz I will be studying in my room and my stuff will be everywhere.. ANyways InshaAllah Khayr..
Mode: Trying to be studious and spiritual at the same time for these 10 days of Dzulhijjah..
Oh Allah! Make it easy for me to fast, do good deeds and constantly remember You every second of my life.. Amin..
Towards a brighter day

Verily, Indeed for every hardship, There is relief...
Salams People..
I havent been updating my blog over a week now.. I have been busy with assignments and upcoming exams.. Extremely busy and trying hard to bring myself to study mode.
Alhamdulillah.. I have managed to finished my 2000 words essay by the will of Allah and His help through MashaAllah helpful and beautiful people around me..
Subhanallah.. I was in the verge of giving up but Allah lift my sorrow and help me from different directions... I was seriously in desperate need of His help..
And Suddenly Amira called me to offer her help to proof read my essay.. Safinah too..
I had a sudden urge to meet up with my lecturer the other day to ask his help in structuring my essay as I had lost quite a lot of marks in the previous assignment and Im not sure why.
Then I remembered Farhana.. MashaAllah she is a legend!
On thursday morning, I texted her.. I was so determined to meet my lecturer to ask for help but I didnt want to go alone so I asked Farhana to go with me. We met up at ERC but unfortunately our lecturer was nowhere to be found. So we decided to do our work in the library.
Farhana helped me from scratch and showed me her structure. Her points are similar to mine just that I didnt discuss about the Hijab. She was such a great help Alhamdulillah I regained my confidence to write the essay.. I wrote like 6pages of Key points and elaborations in 2 hours.
At 1pm I went to genetics lecture but the lecturer was very sick so he cancelled the lecture which is great hehe.. It was the last ever lecture.. So started our prac early..
And most importantly with the help of my two beloved auties.. Rosela n Fadilah who helped me on Saturday with the Essay and Wak min who supplied the satay.. It was phenomenal =D
And soon I realized that I've got heaps to catch up for genetics. I have to make myself understand the concepts so that I will be able to answer the questions in the Exam by the will of Allah. I did not do well in the test and I am determined to do well in the exam inshaAllah..
Safinah has given me a very tough advice that I need to put myself together and start being studious. Force myself to study. She said that you need to be smart for people to respect you.. That statement has blown my mind..
I have to maintain a positive attitude over this exam period and keep my morale high.. I will try my very best and will submit to Allah for the results..
I have a goal.. I've got an ambition..As a Khalifah, I have an ultimate goal.. I know now whatever I do is for Allah.. For the Ummah! For Islam! I have to strive to be a better person each day and not to let others ridicule my Deen! InshaAllah! I CAN DO IT!!
