A new dawn, a new beginning

Restless

2010-07-09T09:37:00.000-07:00

Assalamualaikum wr wb,

I feel so restless now. It has been 3 straight days that this *stooopid* feeling lingers inside me. Maybe because of my 3 month 'Jual Anggur' or the fact that i had not recite Al-Quran for a very long time. Hm, I guess it's a bit of both that makes me feel.. restless.

Till next time,

Wassalam

Changes

2009-06-20T09:32:00.000-07:00

Assalamualaikum wr wb,

It's 1am in the morning and i still can't sleep. So many things on my mind and tonnes of things needed to be done yet i didn't do any of it. Maybe it's because of constant late nights that makes me lost or I'm just plain bored.

Had a meeting with Saihah and Shahirah in the afternoon and I was 45 minutes late!!! *Gasp!* Seriously I need to change my bad habit of coming late to work or meetings. Should not waste other people precious time!!

The meeting was quite fruitful albeit it is not what I expected. Nonetheless, after throwing some ideas we managed to come up with a good idea on how to make money for Alkaff Youth (AY) and for themselves.

Slack throughout the working day after the meeting but still managed to get some stuffs done. Thought of doing something spectacular to entertain myself but alas, i chose not to do it due to the hot weather which had nothing to do with what i supposed to do. and that my friends is what we called pure randomness! or laziness! haha.

Googled Steve Job before dinner with the genius Aimran. The guy really persevered a lot throughout his illustrious career. Even after been fired from his own company he still had the will to carry on! I'm so his fan right now! Please sponsor AY!!

Here some of his quotes that i would like to share with you guys.

"Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?"

- Steve Job. The line he used to lure John Sculley as Apple's CEO

We don’t get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life.
Life is brief, and then you die, you know?
And we’ve all chosen to do this with our lives. So it better be damn good. It better be worth it.

- Steve Job

Till next time,

Wassalam.

Totally speechless!!

Youth

2009-05-31T10:09:00.000-07:00

Assalamualaikum,

There's something about youths that gave me the spirit and will to fight for what i really believe. Never before I felt this way and praises to Allah swt for leading me to them.

Here are two quotes that i really hope to apply to my humble self.

"young people need models, not critics"

- John Wooden

"They may forget what you said,

but they will never forget how you made them feel"

- Carl W. Buechner

A new month.

A new spirit.

A new family.

A new hope for the future!

O Allah, please grant the strength and wisdom! So that I can be there for them!

Till next time,

Wassalam.

Family Cycling

2009-05-30T03:21:00.001-07:00

Assalamualaikum,

Had a fun day with my AY family. We went cycling from MAKM to East Coast with absolutely no plan what so ever. Super cool if i may say so. No expectation at all, just pure entertainment.

Started the day early, 6am. I slept for only 2hours due to midnight outing with my buddies. Watched Terminator Salvation, felt really dizzy during it. Maybe it's because of the camera angle or just plain tired. Sure kena scold by someone...!!! haha.

Reached MAKM at 7:10am. 5 minutes later Ain came and Nasuha. They were the early birds and the rest are a bit late. and I really need to give an award to our chairperson. What award? A super star karatz award!!! An hour late!!! You got to be kidding me.

Cycled at Siglap Park Connector. Took 15mins to reached ECP, far much more faster than i expected. As soon as we reached there, something happened. A litre of puke followed by pukefest by the lovable and adorable..... thou shall say the names here. =D

Had a late breakfast then cycled to Bedok Jetty in rainy weather. Watched the guys fishing ikan tamban. Camwhored a little bit and off to MAKM at 12:45pm.

While at Siglap PCN, we stopped for a while to enjoy ourselves at the playground. It's all started by dear Nasuha and Ariff. They had to swing and caused a 20mins delay that really irritated Ashary!! What happened at the playground is really a test of endurance and fitness level. 4, i repeat 4 youths *coughs* went through the super duper hard obstacle course and emerged victorious. I'm soooo proud of them! You guys make AY proud! *holding back my tears*

Cramped my left thigh near Petal Garden. Thank goodness there's Ansari and I really wondered why the two beautiful ladies, Ifa and Suli had to ogled my thigh instead of helping me. *evil grin!*

I'm feeling super tired right now. However, I really enjoyed myself. Pity to those who can't make it. You guys really missed out a lot! But have no worries, there is always next time and that is... we're going to Pasir Ris!! Why there? It's a secret! =D

To Aimran, Halima, Sadiq, Suli, Ashary, Suhailah, Nasuha, Afifah, Ain, Ashraf, Arif, Saufi, Sufian, Firdaus and Ansari, hope you guys have fun as much as I do minus the cramps. and thank you for the wonderful time given.

A blessing by our god, Allah the Almighty. May Allah plans what is good for all of us.

Cycling = Pain

Till next time,

Fight!

2009-05-24T21:42:00.000-07:00

Assalamualaikum,

Another quote to share with you guys.

It's about fight, passion and love. Something that is clearly lacking in my life.

"There would be no passion in this world if we never had to fight for what we love"

- Susie Switzer

May Allah grants us the strength and courage to fight for what we love.

Ilalliqa,

Time

2009-05-14T10:23:00.000-07:00

Assalamualaikum,

Something to think and ponder.

--------

To realize the value of 1 year,

ask a student who failed his exams

To realize the value of 1 month,

ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby

To realize the value of 1 week,

ask the editor of a weekly newspaper

To realize the value of 1 day,

ask a daily wage labourer

To realize the value of 1 hour,

ask the lovers who are waiting to meet

To realize the value of 1 minute,

ask a person who missed the bus, train or plane

To realize the value of 1 second

ask a person who just avoided an accident

To realize the value of millisecond

ask the person who won a silver medal in the Olympics

--------

My dear brothers and sisters,

Time wait for no one..

So please..

Till next time,

wassalam

A new dawn, a new beginning

Assalamualaikum,

My first post for this new blog.

Many thanks to Hidayah for creating it and how she endured my funny requests for two days straightis truly awesome. Jazakillah khairal jazaa.

A new dawn, a new beginning. That's the theme for this blog as i feel like I'll be starting my life all over again. Really looking forward what will unfold in the next chapter of my life.

I had fun, learned many new things and meet lots of great and fantastic people in this chapter. However, like all things, it must come to an end.

I would like to finish this entry with a few pictures and a song.

"If Someone You Love

Breaks Your Heart

Cry a River

Build a Bridge

and get Over it"

till next time,

wassalam.
