Assalamualaikum and selamat hari raya to all :D 

It is 10th of Zulhijjah today and we celebrated Hari Raya Qurban, alhamdulillah. Second raya away from home. It's my brother's birthday too, July 20th.  

So, i'll share how my first day of raya looks like. 

Early in the morning, around 9.15 am i pre heat satay i ordered the night before. Ordered from the seller twice already coz the satay is tasty and affordable. 10 sate ayam, 10 sate daging. 4 ketul nasi. 

Then, from 10 to 2.30 pm, i settled all the documents for the teacher's application, scanning, downloading, merging docs, editing, filling in the form, upload to drive and lastly write an email. Emm, for this i hold on my trust to Allah alone. If it is good for me, may Allah show the way. If it isnt for me, may Allah show a better way amiin. 

Oh, i called my mom in between and she was preparing her signature dish - bihun goreng. 

If i chuse to really be a teacher, i would have applied from the start, but even after all these years of teaching (five years to date), im still hoping to work in some place else, at the same time the intention to pursue doctorate and having a professional cert is still there, close in the heart. I love teaching, but not being a teacher. Weird aint it haha

I watched a movie and ate satay again until my family at home video called at 3.30 and we talked for an hour. 

After asar, i told malini why not we go and buy something, or precisely Starbucks. Last time i went was early April, before Ramadhan. 

The drive through queue was significantly long but we just queued outside joining some others. 

We waited for over 20 minutes. Then, i bought ayam uncle bob nearby the parking lot and we ate and drank in the car. It's kinda fun to see there were many others who were like us..leisuring and taking time in the car. Huhu. Makan dalam keta pun jadilah, asalkan boleh keluar

Dont get me wrong. We havent go out together for about three weeks already, starting from PKPD. So, i enjoyed every bits of it.

We arrived home about 7 pm and i vc-ed Asiah until Maghrib. Then, i did some laundry and ironing for tomorrow because i'll have my first dose. 

InshaAllah that i'll update here too. 

“Fret not where the road will take you. Instead concentrate on the first step. That’s the hardest part and that’s what you are responsible for. Once you take that step let everything do what it naturally does and the rest will follow. Do not go with the flow. Be the flow.” -Forty Rules of Love, Elif Shafak 

 

Ilalliqo' :)

Hai all. These are the songs that i recently got to know. All owing to the mco that you got extra leisure time haha

Im just a little bit caught in the middle

Life is a maze and love is a riddle

I dont know where to go

Trouble is a friend

But trouble is a foe.. (Trouble is a friend, Lenka)

And we can learn to love again .. (Just give me a reason, Pink & Nate Ruess)

Quick update. Today is the first of Zulhijjah. And this is the fifth year in a row that im in charge for qurban aqiqah under iPrisma (IIUM alumni). We had a meeting last night and lasted until before midnight. 

Tonight, i have to settle and compile reports for the monthly meeting on the morrow's night. Oh yeah, have to send a report for the receivers of Ameerah Care July to negeri. Have to write a report too. 

Monday will be another start for the week. I will have only a class at 12 pm. I need to copy and forward all the class links in the telegram at night for 4 Ibnu Haitham, my class this year. 

Next, i have to download all the attendance for last week and tick it. Lesson plan already submitted on Friday. 

What else? 

Oh yeah, im revisiting Pride and Prejudice (my second time) and just arrived at the part where Mr Darcy confessed his love to Elizabeth Bennet and got rejected. 

Poor Mr Darcy. 

And, it's been raining these days, from afternoon till night. That's why today i went out to pick for food earlier, around 2 pm before it pours down. I wanted to buy Popia Sayur but the makcik hasnt opened her stall just yet, too early maybe.

I had my Nasi Ayam Penyet Thigh plus Iced Nescafe whilst watching Detective Conan Movie. Then, i sorted out the names for Ameerah Care, submitted it and was rejected (rejections everywhere haha) due to incorrect format. That's why i'll redo it tonight. 

Next, i called few colleagues to finalise on the donation for the teachers affected with covid and other cases.

I had a meeting at 5.15pm but have to postpone because one of us cant join. 

The list goes on on...but i still have time to eat read and watch some movies. So im good alhamdulillah. Thank you Allah :)

Oh yeah, i called my mom too in between those ongoings today! Perfecto. 

Assalamualaikum. 

It's 9 am and i got class at 11, so i got some time to pen here.

Nothing much but i just wanna be here and doodle something, since PKP 3 is being prolonged huhu

So yeah recently i realised i did wrote on movie review, and i thought i havent done this for long time. 

It is Theory of Everything, based on the real story of the famous genius, Stephen Hawking. 

One thing hat i just knew was, he wasnt in that state since baby - but when he was in university and had just been engaged to a girl - which later became his wife, Jane Hawking (they divorced after 30 years of marriage) 

And i just learnt that the movie was originated from a book (similar title) authored by Jane Hawking. 

When i watched it, i was stunned by how Jane lived with Stephen Hawking and though she claimed later that the movie wasnt all precise about what she wrote - coz the producer needed to shorten it all to fit in a movie. Yeah. 

Basically, it is a story of Prof Hawking from university, when he first get diagnosed with the disease until he parted with his wife. Feel amazing seeing his hardwork, diligence and brilliance. 

You should watch it, really recommended. 

Okeh im so going to find the book! 

Assalamualaikum. Hai guys. 

Today we are still in PKP 3.0

School will resume (online learning) the day after the morrow

This morning i had webinar al hikmah with fellow teachers from 9.30 until 12 noon

After that, i went out to pick my order (nasi ayam penyet + nescafe ais), had lunch and prayed Zuhur. It rained heavily at 3pm and i dozed off until 5.30 pm. 

And, now i am sorting out the to do list for tonight and later 

Normally, the first thing i would do before doing my work is to turn on you tube to listen to some music. but tonight i found this video and i cried 

This is a touching video and i just love the content

These past two weeks, i had been listening and watching to indonesian talk shows - and i learnt something for sure

Another thing is, i always admire and looked up if the celebrities read.. yup, what more if they quoted or mentioned the books that i read as well

Some of the snapshots. 

I've always loved people with brains. I found that indo talkshows are often inspirational, moving and offering something to the viewers. Not plain and boring. 

Honestly, i dont even know who is dewi sandra, for dian sastro i think i've heard the name when i was at school. But i could say they both are real good. 

Thank you for inspiring. 

p/s my current book is Emma, Jane Austen 

Pesan Allahyarham TG Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat. 

Apabila kita tua, rebut setiap peluang untuk bersama rakan-rakan lama, kawan sekolah dan rakan sekerja kerana peluang itu akan berkurangan dari semasa ke semasa. 

Air yang mengalir ke hilir tidak balik ke hulu. Begitulah dengan kehidupan. 

Sahabat adalah umpama bintang. Walau berjuta batu jauh dari bumi tetap bercahaya. Meskipun terkadang menghilang, dia tetap ada. 

Dia tidak mungkin dimiliki, tapi tidak dapat dilupakan kerana sahabat yang baik sentiasa ada dalam hati dan kenangan.
