So far, I've created my organiser, created my Level 1 missions list and started on my quest...
I already failed one mission tho coz I missed my studies yesterday...so, gotta start over for dat particular mission...but other than dat, so far so good, I've been making some progress...tho I tink I still need to work harder n create more missions...I dun tink my mission list is complete...seems to b lacking still in a few departments...for example, dere's no mission for the multilingual section...
anw, 2day i was supposed 2 do a morning run...but twas raining in d morning i tink...so, i decided to do a workout instead..i tink i shd probably invest in some sports workout cd soon...de one i haf is quite boring...it's handed down by my aunt...de cd datz interesting is unfortunately spoilt...can only play up 2o abt 3 mins out of abt 30 mins...=(
but, well, at least i got sme exercise done at the stipulated time.
Anw, yesterday perdaus claz, we got our homework. dat is to research on the motion -innovation just like creativity is allowed in Islam.
de girls are proposing the motion, guys opposing...
sounds fun yea? =) quite excited abt de debate...
Amal Hayati.

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah...
Today, I came to this blog with a purpose...
Situation: Rite now, I'm kinda back to square one...perhaps it was bcoz of de holz, perhaps it's bcoz it's a new semester...tho, perhaps dey r all xcuses...point is...i'm back to my almoz ill-disciplined character....so, previous sunday n de wk b4, ustadz started talking about the 7 habits of the mind...currently, we've gone through the 1st 3 habits...which is once these habits are ingrained in us, we would then have attained the next stage-independence...so, i guess i'm still in between the dependence and independence stage..*makes a face* gosh. i'm 22. wat haf i been doing?
So, let's look at the chain...
with knowledge (how to develop good habits) --> habits can change-->provided that we WANT to change and we know why we should change
so, yea...I feel dat i shd start to relli do something more with my life...laz wk's session apparently motivated me...
ok, 1st habit-bersikap proaktif
-->instead of waiting for things to happen, make things happen.
-->do not blame others or find excuses, be responsible for our actions
-->find ways to make something work (not give up easily)
-->do not get emotional based on feedback
Honestly, the 1st habit is already tough to achieve...but muz try!!! =)
2nd habit-mulakan dengan matlamat di minda (begin with the end in mind)
-->in whatever we do, what do we want to achieve at the end? the purpose of doing something?
-->should have a vision and mission even in life
so, basically, wen ustadz was talking about the 2nd habit, it relli made me reflect on myself...partly coz he was saying dat it would be useful to actually write down our vision and look at it daily so dat we dun 4get our purpose...
so, wif dat, i haf decided to pen down my vision n mission on dis blog...so dat it'll act as a reminder 4 myself...i'm also gonna write it down on paper to put it sumwer i can c everyday insya-allah...hopefully, it'll help me 2 achieve my vision...besides dat, i realised dat since i luv games so much, i shd probably try to make my missions into sumting more of like a game. Wat i wanna do is to breakdown my missions (things i should do to attain my vision) to a few levels...like level one, what must i achieve b4 i can b sed 2 have proceeded 2 level 2...yepz...sounds more fun and achievable...=) i hope it works...
3rd habit-Yang penting didahulukan (Prioritise)
-->i would be more productive if i do not sacrifice my time on unimportant things..(which is wat i'm guilty of...)
so, let's do it!
Vision
-to be a good muslimah
-to lead a healthy lifestyle
-to be an effective teacher
-to be multilingual
What defines a good muslimah?
-disciplined
-tries her best to please Allah in whatever she does and avoids what Allah dislikes

-to be able to speak in English, Malay, Chinese, French, Arabic.
I'm not sure if I should write out my missions as well, coz I think it mite b rather lengthy? Hmm...n i haven exactly thought of the levels and so on...I think I'll just write it down on paper instead..=)
Ok, I should start soon!
Motivated,
Amal Hayati.
tazkirah
26 Syawal 1431
Assalamualaikum everyone!
During Perdaus Eid celebration cum appreciation ceremony, there was a lil tazkirah session by ustadz. N I juz tot it'll b gd 2 share esp 4 myself 2 rmmbr wen i reread dis post. Basically d tazkirah was on Ramadhan, d Ramadhan dat juz passed. Were we able to menghayati Ramadhan? Ustadz sed..if let's say we went thru Ramadhan without thinking of our brothers and sisters in Islam out there who may not have any food to eat when we break fast, kite tak menghayati Ramadhan. If we are active in volunteering our services, mayb 2 masjid, helping out in community service n so on but never help our parents at home, kite tak menghayati Ramadhan. (Unfortunately, I can only rmmbr these 2 points...i knw ustadz mentioned something abt solat mlm oso but I cant rmmbr wat it's abt) So, basically, reflecting upon wat ustadz sed, it's relli something 2 knw dat I probably did not menghayati my Ramadhan at all. (hmm...i tink ustadz oso mentioned sumting abt like cant wait 4 Ramadhan 2 end n Syawal 2 cum...i tink ah..aiyo...i need 2 work on my memory..) oh ya!! ustadz sed sumting abt if we neva do our solat mlm like as if it's gonna b our laz solat, kite tak menghayati Ramadhan.
so, i relli, relli hope i'll b fortunate enough 2 meet Ramadhan again...insya-Allah, i'll make it a much better one and a memorable one...
so, anw, bsides the menghayati part, ustadz oso shared a bit abt like hw Ramadhan is kind of like a month 4 us 2 boost our iman and kinda set the path for the year until the next Ramadhan. means like we train ourselves 2 do good things, 2 dekatkan diri 2 Allah so dat wen Ramadhan ends, we shd stay consistent n not onli b a Ramadhani (hamba Allah time Ramadhan) but a Rabbani (hamba Allah all de time). I tink d tazkirah jolt me a lil bit more from my current world. So, I'm trying my bez 2 sort of get back wat i did during Ramadhan...no matter wat lil things i felt it was compared 2 mayb wat others were doing during Ramadhan, I feel dat it's still significant 2 me...insya-Allah, i'll try 2 b consistent...help me, ya Allah...
another thing abt Ramadhan is dat it sorts of teaches us time management. Like, we always check the timings for imsak n maghrib...so, we r always aware of de time...2 sort of countdown u knw? in other words, it also kind of trains us in our discipline, muz wake up b4 subuh 2 sahur n so on...After hearing all this, it's relli beautiful isn't it? how Allah arranged everything? It's juz simply amazing...
Finally, juz tot I share my reflections for the day..
-Why I want 2 b a gd muslimah:
2day, in sch, I was gg abt doing my normal routine, gg 2 class den went musollah 2 do my prayers...but sumhw, I dono, I juz felt happy n calm n positive...like wen I smile at d other sisters, it was a sincere smile, n I dono, de feeling is juz great...n I feel dat it has something 2 do wif me trying 2 improve myself, doing more than my normal routine, trying 2 do wat I used 2 do during Ramadhan...perhaps...I dono...but I feel dat weneva one is close 2 Allah, de feeling is relli nice...esp wen u place faith/trust in Allah...it's like actually, nothing's a problem...bcoz even if dere r obstacles, dey r actually tests 4 us 2 overcome 2 b a better n stronger person, insya-Allah...
oh wells...I juz hope my will is stronger n dat wateva gd things i do will last...coz i haf a bad habit of doing things halfway...give me strength ya allah...
New semester...
23 Syawal 1431
Assalamualaikum warahmatullah..
berharap semuanya dalam keadaan sihat wal'afiat..=)
Anw, i dun tink Ramadhan dis year was a bulan kemenangan 4 me dis yr...esp aft I heard tazkirah by Ustadz b4 going for d jalan raya wif d MYA ppl..
Let me try 2 summarise...Wat he sed was basically, every Ramadhan, we shd haf d aim of improving...dere's no point if we do de same things evry year for Ramadhan...staying stagnant i mean...means we truly win/achieve success during Ramadhan is wen our Ramadhan for de year is better than de year b4...
Looking back at my Ramadhan, I dun tink I've achieved de part about making the Ramadhan a better Ramadhan than my previous...Well, yes, there were some improvements...but I felt that it wasn't enough. My priorities were just not right. Insya-Allah, if I will meet again with Ramadhan next year, I will make it a better one.
Anw, new semester for uni has started...It's already in the 4th wk? Freaking fast...It's scary how time flies...and I've been wasting lots of precious time...n i really mean A LOT. Totaly horrible dat even tho I knw, Im not exactly doing much to prevent this. Ok, i'm starting 2 panic a bit..so, dere has been a slight improvement...trying my best to set some self-discipline. but i need more, more, more discipline!!!
yepz...so, 4 2day's schedule, I'm actually supposed 2 do complex analysis revision, mendaki mock paper 8 for de P6, n register for DELF b4 i go for d perdaus eid celebrations at madrasah aljunied. Hope I'll accomplish all...
n hope I'll continue updating my blog 2 get some semangat n check on my progress. JIA YOU!
Luv,
Amal Hayati.
