Too little too much
Salam people. Last saturday i went to Holiday Inn Plaza near Central Johor Bahru. Actually, me and family went there just to eat Pizza Hut, for fun's sake. It turned out to be an outing which burnt a hole (multiple holes?) in my pockets instead.
During the lunch at afternoon, mom wanted to change her Singapore dollars to Malaysian ringgit. So, thinking it was just a normal walk-in-the-park routine, i voluntered myself. Oh how i regretted it. As soon as i stepped into the cold interior of the shopping mall, i knew that something was wrong. It couldnt be.I must be dreaming. THE CD SHOPS ARE BACK!!!! ( i mean the PIRATED-cd shops are back!!)
If you all are wondering why i am shocked, it was because a few years back virtually every pirated cd shop was closed after a raid from the police to curb piracy goods. And if you all are wondering what is the difference between cd shops there and any other cd shops in johor, the shops there sell ALL kinds of software Cds. From photoshop to engineering autocad. From games to nursery rhymes ( Barney anyone?). HEAVEN! oh well. so i bought a couple of software cds such as FL studio 9 ( have been dying to buy that for ages) and games such as Pro Evolution Soccer 2010! FOR ONLY RM 10 EACH!! Which is around only $4.50? Seeing is not yet believing, but BUYING is. There goes some of my monthly allowance. Call it the 'Sim Lim square' of Johor if you like. $-$
Oh and dont worry, EVERY cd was 'installable' and no fake. peace.
That is all for now. Until next time,
wassalam.

One Week Left
Salam readers. This week is the final week of semester holidays. Honestly speaking, i cant wait to go back to school. At least i would be doing some tinkering over there. But then again, start of school means the start of stress. oh well. Alright then let us get to this week's update.
Monday : I had to wake up early at around 9 am ( yes for holidays, 9 am is considered early. But of course slept back after subuh -_-'') to register for my General Elective Module online. Alhamdulillah i got my desired module. Its Sun Tzu's Art of War in Modern Life. Something about applying military war strategies in your daily life. Looking forward to that! ;p
Wednesday : Accompanied my granny to the polyclinic. It was there and then that i thought my two-year old little sister would be grow up to be a marathon-runner or something. I was playing catch-up with her for over two hours at the polyclinic! I am really going to encourage her to take up running or athletics when she grows up. Kids these days. Haha
Thursday : My mom had a minor car accident on the way to school. Alhamdulillah noone was hurt. She told me at least 7 cars were involved. Luckily, she didnt hit the car infront. Unfortunately, the taxi behind druven by an elderly guy could not brake in time and hit my mom's car. There is a litte dent due to that. So tomorrow i am going to bring the car to a workshop in ang mo kio to get it fixed. The taxi driver is paying. *pheew*
So that's it! Its not much. but better something than nothing right? Haha.
Until next time,
wassalam.

Doa Rabitah Ukhwah
This song actually has a lot of meaning behind it. i wrote this song after my mom introduced me to Doa Rabitah. Some words used from a friend's(bunga) blog.Its a prayer recited among friends to encourage each other, help each other in the name of Allah. A prayer to recite when one misses friends . When a burden is too much to handle and sometimes a listening ear is all that is needed.
------------------------------------------------------------
Tanpamu disisku
Setiap hari merindu
Kumenuggu sampai jemu
Khabar cerita darimu
Selalu masa yang berlalu
Hati pilu berundung
Perlukah tamat waktu itu?
Tetap bisa bertemu
Perlukah tanmat waktu itu?
Tetap berdoa untukmu
Oh ya Allah
Eratkan hati-hati kami
Oh ya Allah
Satukan hati-hati kami
Jika kau rindu
Berdoalah rabitah ukhwah
Jika kau pilu
Berdoalah rabitah ukhwah
Bertemu
Bersatu memikul oh bebanNya
Bertemu
Di samping sisiNya, berjanji padaNya, kepada diriNya
-------------------------------------------------------------

Updates
Salam readers. For the third time, i have opened a new blog. Hopefully, this blog will last long. So this post is about what has been and is happening to the people around me and myself. Well, just a summary anyway. ;p
Singapore Polytechnic is still closed for holidays ( 6 weeks! ) after the semester examinations. Alhamdulillah i got 3.85 for my gpa. Am aiming to get higher gpa insyallah.School reopens around 18-19th oct.
So i have been relief teaching at Irsyad this holiday period! * smiles*. Well teaching there is both sad and happy. Sad because i know i wont be able to become a student of irsyad anymore. To have studied there is just magical. i call it the Hogwarts of Singapore. Happy because i get to see back all the familiar faces! The beloved tecahers and friends! May Allah bless us all.
The syahwal month has been exciting so far. I think this is the most exciting raya in my whole life until date! Imagine spending the whole first day of raya driving to KL ( had to send dad to KLIA). Then spending that night walking with my mom, brothers and sister in KLCC. oh the night view! magical. can i call it the hogwarts of malaysia? ;p
Dont even mention the raya outing with irsyad friends. I can bet you that hadi nuri can become the best ever stunt driver singapore has ever had. We had soh much fun on the rented pick-up. Bodies were literally flying everywhere ( right halame? ) Some even were literally knocked face down ( right fathi?). Haha.
Until later, wassalam.
