A very small heart

left out
An obstacle
tak cool
tak glamour
strange haircut
anti social
annoying
invisible

No worries.

Being different

MASCA-UMNO Open House
Abang Azam Open House

Missed those. But no matter.I was doing something else near the great Murray River.

There's more open houses next year and the year after that.

I may not do what I was doing last weekend ever again.

Raya 2009

Air conditioning Lab
Settled.Last and only report of the semester.Did my part and shoved it to the the Masters students who were my lab mates to settle everything.

Iktikaf
Did it twice and people kept asking me 'Hijaz...buat ape kau iktikaf'. I just answer 'Kerana Allah' and 'Kalau aku dok umah wat bende bodoh and dosa je'.I enjoy iktikaf in Adelaide. I did it 2 years ago because then I can drive the magna.Last year did not have a car, Alhamdulillah, Allah decided to have me bought a car so that I can worship him more this year.Alhamdulillah.

Lailatul-Qadr
I am fascinated by lailatul-Qadr.Islam is so simple yet fulfilling. Most non-Muslim may think that we seek this night so that we can find a genie and request for 72 virgins. Lialatul-Qadr is just a special night at which Allah bestows his forgiveness.I am not sure which night was Lailatul-Qadr, probably that calm 26th night when Apam and I delivered the pamhplets.Dem.

Last Ramadan day
This year's Raamdan was the best. I may sound like a prick, but as I mentioned before, I find myself to more spiritual and calm or at least try to perform more solats.Alhamdulillah, I am sure I have done tarawikh for 26 nights, the other 3 nights I had to skip tarawikh for assignments and one night for delivering pamphlets.

Moon sighting
Went to West beach to see the new moon which means the starting of a lunar month. If there is no moon on the 29th night , then it means we have to fast on the thrteenth day, emaning Raya on Monday, which is also presentation day...that I no like. Apparently if anyone in Australia sees the new moon, then Raya is conformed on Sunday.And soemoned at Perth did.Alhamdulillah.

Night before Raya
I was invited and asked to join some friends at Maple and bake cheesecake for Raya.Though very hard and decided to join them...'lantak aku la nak pegi'. At least I'll be doing something.It was a fun night at maple, the celaning, the cooking, the baking and the chatting.Tawakkal joined us coz he lives with a bunch of chinese, so it makes snese he should join us.


1st Syawal
The plan was to go to Khaleel.But as usual, we woke up late.So ended up at City Mosque. For the Raya breakfast, no rendang, just some chicken chop, mashed taters and cheese cake with friends!!!!!

Open Houses
Village-as usual
Unley-Suzuki Virgo and tapau lots of rendang,kuih himpit and lamb.Thank Dr.Bad junior.
Kuchai's house-soo much kuih raya

Open house at Maple
Chicken chop and the food tapaued from Unley.

Car registration
Bye bye $169 and hard earned pamphlet cash.Dem SA Transport jack up the rego cost by $10.

Presentation
Done and don't wanna talk about it

Core Test on 3rd Raya

Ramadan 2009

Fasting
I am not sure how many days of fasting I performed, it is up to Allah.

Tarawikh
I am proud to say that I have performed tarawikh almost every night. I don't know why I become evry religious...nak subuh pun struggle..but Alhamdulillah, I have put more effort into my islamic obligations. This won't last long..prbably only on Raamdhan. or maybe I am doing tarawikh just so that I can forget about this shits that is happening around the world..and around me.

Ifthar
I have not eaten iftahar at home at all this month. have been breaking fast at the mosque.Usually go with Syuk as my roomates have other commitments. I have so far spent ifthar at 3 places,
Adelaide Mosque-food are good and just eniugh so you don't get too fukk
Khalel-amazing msoque and too much food.
Islamic Da'wa Centre- mostly african muslims come and bring a plethora of food.mostly rice and lamb dishes. Been here once and I have not had so much samosa than any other places at the IDC.

Uni life
Sucks as usual.I am getting lazier.

Car
I declare I am very posessive about my car.You may borrow my pen without telling me..and I won't even mind if you don't return it..but I am really crossed if people just take my car in the middle of the morning..without telling where my car is being taken to...i don't care where yiu go..brothel..disco..worse..CATS..just tell me..because my car is not a pen. And I have every right to be mad because it is my property and I am paying alot in terms of rego and fuel for it.And yes...this shows I have a very large ego..as any men with a car does.

Project
The project seems to have slowed down abit..or it is just us being sloppy. Had a presentation at Santos, only Martin and Erwin were there including some engineer listening from Moomba. It was a good practice and I was very pleased that we presented well althoygh I was hoping a bigger audience. Martin was not pleased that the otherr managers did not come.

Junk mail
Business a usual. It is spring and it seems more shops are dumping their junk mail on me..which means more money..hehe. Kinda fed up with the job and plan to give then contracts during the mid semester break to Apam.

Raya
Raya is either on the 20th or 21st of September. I am hoping it'd be the 20th as I have a presentation the next day!!! I am not sure whether my house wanna cook something..seems all of them have their own commitments.....it's pretty sad..I mean last years..we cooked nothing....so this year I will join Syuk's house and cook up some rendang or something but I am determiend to enjoy Raya as much a spossiblethis year with the right crowd...!!!!!!No remeh temeh.

Spring Break
Plan to go drive around the Murray river, probably go to Loxton and then down through Mannum and Murray bridge. This will be a one night camping trip. The problem is when? I'd like to go during the weekend after Raya but there'd be the MASCA open house...not wanting to a lsoer..I'd like to attend that. So it be between 21st and 26th September then.This plan is bulletproof....it will not wither.

Lastly, Happy ramadan everyone and Happy Eid(soon)!!!
