Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh..
How's everybody? I hope everyone's in good health, insya-Allah..=)
Anyway, I've just checked my exam results recently..Alhamdulillah...ade peningkatan...but one of my modules pulled me down..so, i didn't get to improve much but nevertheless, i'm still thankful to Allah s.w.t. My results for the semester has been one of the better semesters...
Now, what I need to do now is to make decisions for the next semester..what modules I should take and insya-Allah, I will work even harder to achieve better results. I do hope it wun b just 'all talk but no action'.
So, I remember I wanted to share my plans for this vacation...so, even though vacation is half gone, I'll still share the plans...
Basically, these were the things I aimed to achieve during this vacation period:
-go for hiking trip at berkelah waterfall (end of May)
-get ready lesson plans for mathematics and chemistry (practicum in July)
-get NIE FOC stuff settled--> includes t-shirts, blog, banner, lanyards essentials...
-do some volunteer work plus planning

-Indonesia trip with family in June
-pre-FOC bonding camp in May
-meet up with my Mendaki students for extra revision in June
What I have done during my vacation so far:
-sit in front of the computer almost everyday (and I didnt even do any reflections in this blog! Astaghfirullahalazim..) --> facebooking, check email, watch dramas (sometimes), read mangas (sometimes)
-outing with my secondary school frenz
-outing with my cousins (though most couldn't make it, can be considered a failed attempt)

-get NIE FOC stuff settled a.s.a.p.!
-follow up and follow through with the volunteer work that has been planned by my NIE frenz and myself
-do constant reflections in order to get closer to Allah..insya-Allah..
Wow...now that I've laid everything out...that's a whole lot that I still need to achieve. May Allah give me the strength to do all that I've aimed to achieve.
My concerns...
I've been spending too much time on facebook....honestly, I need to come up with a plan to cut down on my facebooking. Diam tak diam, berjam-jam boleh duduk depan komputer...and that's so bad! Y do I listen to syaitan n my nafs? Astaghfirullah...It's relli gonna come between me and Allah...how do I get closer to Him when I my heart is thinking of the computer?
Ya Allah, do give me the strength to lawan my nafs and bisikan syaitan...
n whoever who reads my blog, I'm relli sori I campur English and Malay. Bad habit...I know..*scrunches up face*
Hmm...ok, madrasah classes...I juz realised I haven talked about the madrasahs I'm in!
Currently, I'm a student of P.A.D.A. (Pendidikan Asas Daru Ashomiddin) and Perdaus.. Alhamdulillah, I'm blessed to be able to attend both classes. So far though, I'm biased towards P.A.D.A. classes as I feel that I'm learning much more in P.A.D.A. I feel that the content that we go through each week somehow just seems to relate to whatever I'm going through in life at that point of time. It may be something as simple as discipline for example. This was touched in one of the weeks and at that point of time, I was relli lacking in discipline. When the teacher went through on that topic, I relli felt the pinch. Every week, it seems like I was pinched to come back to reality, to stop dreaming and remember to infuse Islam into my life. Masya-Allah...Honestly, that's wat I feel wen I attend P.A.D.A. classes. I feel like every week is relli a tazkirah. And I relli look forward to classes at P.A.D.A.
For Perdaus classes though, I feel that it fell short of my expectations of it so far. There were several weeks that I felt that I wasn't learning anything new as the content was what we probably have been learning for the past many years...It's like repetitive and common sensical? However, I'm not saying that there are no learning points. There were some weeks that I did manage to take something as a learning point. I think it did get slightly better towards the end o the module. And another amazing part was like what I learnt in P.A.D.A. and Perdaus sometimes complemented each other. Example, we went through the tafsir for Al Baqarah Ayats 1-5 in Perdaus class and that same week in P.A.D.A., we went through the tafsir for Al-Baqarah Ayats 1-20. So, it feels like a follow-up and that was relli nice.
No matter wat, I do feel that ilmu is relli important. Hmms...I'm wondering if I should go on with my sharing session coz it has been a rather long entry? Bcoz I haf quite a lot to say about ilmu i tink as I'm supposed to share my thoughts on a video on creation vs evolution in youtube..
Ohwells, insya-Allah, I'll continue at another time. I hope so...
Lotsa luv,
Amal Hayati.
