Once upon a time.

Two days left before my final 3rd semester exam. And believe it or not, it starts with the subject we all love the most: Mathematics Higher Level.
And here I am, all miserable with the uncompleted revisions and exercises, spilling my thoughts yet again =)

I’ve found a great story book.

Better than Cinderella, Snow White and the Little Mermaid. Trust me, even better than Doraemon.

Have you ever flipped through the Quran, and look at the title of the surah?

If we look carefully, they were so creative and beautifully crafted, some were named after a few animals that we are familiar with like an-Naml(ants), al-Ankabuut(spiders), and some were named after great Islamic figures, such as Luqman, Maryam, Hud, Nuh and many more.

Just look at how Allah put his words so beautifully that those who understand can feel closer to him. And also, I found the chapters’ titles to be rather attractive.

It is amazing to know that Allah did his best in trying to open up the eyes of his servants.

And yet, some of us are too blind to see the miracles. Not blind in terms of sight, but blind in the heart.

"Have they not traveled in the land that they should have hearts with which to understand, or ears with which to hear? Certainly, it is not the eyes that are blind, but blind the hearts, which are in the breasts. "
Surah al-Hajj, 22:46

So, ever feel confused when our younger siblings demanded a bedtime story (my sisters did this all the time)? Now we know where to find a good one. =)

wish me luck for this Thursday!Go go math!

Letting go.

Innocent. Hilarious. Cute. Adorable. Sweet. Talkative.

This group of humans created by God has never failed to lighten up my day.

Involving in the Taska Sayangku club was never in my intention. Even the moment the list of new members was announced after the interviews did not actually put me in a state of euphoria. I was like, “Errr..club dedicated for kids in the kindergarten? Ok, tak salah to give it a try for CAS hours”.

We organized weekly activities every Wednesday. It was undeniably tiring. But their smiles shoved it away.

We conducted a trip to Petrosains. It wasn’t easy, dealing with the kindergarten teacher who is rather….overprotective I would say. But the day we spent together picnicking and chasing the kids (not to mention controlling their hyperactive nature) in front of Suria KLCC burns away all the stress.

We helped with the Sports Day. There are times when everything seemed so wrong. But their screams of joy and excitement eliminate all the uneasiness we felt throughout the preparation.

The day when we selected new members, and the day when I resigned from my post in the club, it was then that I realized how valuable the club is to me and all the Taska peeps.

Even though some might say I’m not the kind of person who is fond of children, never for a second I felt burdened when I’m with the kids. It’s true that there are some of them who are very persuasive and emotional,
but we just get over it most of the time. We’re like one big happy family, the kids and the “abang-abang” and “kakak-kakak” taska.

Well, I guess it’s time to let go of the club, now that we’ve officially resigned. But I will always try to spend my Wednesday at the taska whenever I’m free, although the juniors are the ones handling the activities.

Trust me, kids can always do us wonders. The way they make us forget our workloads by playing a simple game of “a-e-i-o-u” or perhaps just by talking to them. It’s just wonderful.

That’s why I said Allah blessed us with happiness by cheering up the world
with the little ones.=)

The agony.

"The day I ditched school for homework."

Three days. Struggling to finish the IA, TOK presentation and
the all-time excruciating Maths Portfolio.

I'm not the only one though. Some had gone through worse than I did.

Don't care.

Sometimes it's hard when you're in the middle.
Between sending your essay or procrastinating.
Between hanging out with your friends or revising.
Between logging on on Friendster or finding articles for IA.
Between calling the loved ones or saving the so-called precious credit.
Between sleeping or consuming caffeine to stay awake.
Between blogging or finishing the never-ending essays.
Between lying to yourself or accepting things as they are.

You know your priority. So prioritize.

And let Him be the judge of all the efforts.
