Assalamualaikum..
Ramadhan is here!!!!
Well, almost. Tonight we start our Terawih prayers, tomorrow morning we have our sahur, and tomorrow, we endure.
Today is Tuesday, also a holiday. Yesterday was 9 August, our national day. It was kinda boring. Just some parade. The night before, Sunday night, we (me and my sisters) watched The Last Airbender. Which disappointingly did not exceed anyone's expectations. It could be due to the fact that we watched the entire series, or it's just very dull. Special effect-wise, it's quite spectacular in some aspects, but M. Night Shyamalan has truly failed to bring the "Avatar Spirit" into the audience.
I seriously can't wait for this long-awaited holy month of Ramadhan. Every Muslim knows the feeling of being in this month. It is unlike anything. Indescribable. Divine. It might seem like any ordinary month, but it just feels different, in a good way. I'm grateful to be given the opportunity to make it to this month. Despite being hungry and tired in this month, a great sense of satisfaction overwhelms me when I complete each and every day.
This week is a very stressful and busy one. I have my CA2 exams and an Art project to complete by next Tuesday. *Sigh*
Salam..Peace

Interesting Week
Assalamualaikum,
It has been quite an eventful week.
Let's start with something interesting, and yet somewhat controversial.
On Monday, there was a public caning conducted in my school. 2 strokes was administered to the student. Apparently, he beat up some other kid somewhere to deserve the caning. It was quick and a little, traumatizing. My brain was having trouble registering what I was seeing. "Is this really happening?" I was reading my book during assembly, when I suddenly heard a loud "snap". I missed the first stroke but had a good view of the second.
On Tuesday, I did not go to school. I had to go get an X-Ray of my ribcage at Ang Mo Kio Polyclinic. There's been some deep, sharp pain on my lower right rib whenever I breathed in deeply (or yawned, or coughed, or sneezed). Nothing was wrong with my ribs, no fracture whatsoever. The pain was deduced by the doctor to be caused by a muscle that was pulled. I was given some muscle relaxant. It helped... me sleep. But now it's OK. I'm totally fine. Alhamdullillah.
On Thursday, I returned to visit Irsyad. I did my Asr prayers and then my Maghrib together with my fellow Irsyadians. We talked. Got each other up to speed. I met Mdm Yanis, Ustaz Mustaqim, Mr. Izzad, and Cikgu Iskandar. I also met Abdullah, Luqman Hakim, Umar, Abdul Rahman, Ruzaini and the list goes on...
We talked about public caning and how it affects us. Recently too, there was public caning done to some irsyadians. They were convicted of theft. I shall not elaborate. Luqman Hakim is a die hard supporter of public caning. Some times students must learn the consequences in school, before they experience it in the real world. Crime and Punishment is a concept that is quite hazy to those who have not received dire consequences for their wrongdoings. If they were to be sentenced in the "outside" real world, it would be too late. It would be even later if they were to experience punishment in the "outside" of this real world, the hereafter. Caning, however, in my opinion, should be reserved for the worst of the worst crimes.
XSITE COMPETITION
Today, Friday, I went to the Singapore Science Centre to take part in the xSite Competition Finals. The preliminary round was to submit a poster about biodiversity and also a write-up on our poster. After much suspense, the results came out around the end of July. We were selected to be part of the Top 6 teams to take part in the finals. Other schools in the secondary circuit includes: Raffles Institution, Nan Hua High, Hwa Chong Institution and Loyang Secondary School. Lucky for us, Hwa Chong failed to appear.
It was an exciting finals, similar to the TV show, "Amazing Race". It started out at the iSpace exhibit. The first mission was a Photoshop challenge. We had to edit a ladybug from a picture onto a leaf on another picture. Despite finishing the task quickly, we hadn't been able to satisfy the judges criteria. They were quite particular with the details. Meanwhile, the RI team had shot off in to the Science Centre with their next clue. After receiving our clue, we ran off searching for the next clue which happened to be in the tire of a bus. There was a lot of running around, here and there to search for our clues. One of the most interesting hints to a clue was "King's Wall". The clue was found under an ice cream cart. It was only after the race did we realise that both "King" and "Walls" were brand names of ice creams. It was a very weird mix of different feelings when we had that epiphany.
The second mission, was a True or False quiz consisting of 10 IT-related questions. For every question we got wrong, one person had to do 10 skips on the skipping rope. We failed to complete the challenge, but so did all the other teams. In the end, we waited for about 1 minute before we were sent off with our next clue. The third mission was a slide puzzle of a complicated circuit board. We solved the puzzle with relative ease, despite the tension on everyone's mind.
The injustice, in my opinion, lies in the final challenge. The fourth and last mission was a game of Pac-Man. We had to complete 3 rounds without losing all lives, in order to sound the gong and win. RI had sounded the gong way ahead of us. They had taken the first place for themselves. Our team and Loyang Secondary School's team had arrived at the challenge at the same time. We were neck and neck in the battle for the 2nd place. 5 minutes through our game of getting "eaten" by the ghosts, Nan Hua's team arrived to do their last mission. Somehow, they completed the challenge in one swift play. They got the 2nd place. 10 minutes was up, and we had a tie-breaker. Whoever completed one stage of the Pac-Man game would bring home the 3rd place trophy. It was a very exciting and suspenseful tie-breaker. With great concentration and proper strategy, we managed to complete the stage and got the 3rd place for this competition.
We won medals, a glass trophy, and also some Nikon Coolpix digital cameras for each of the team members. We were smiling ear to ear, while patting each other on the back for the great work. We hope next year, we will be able to steal the 1st place trophy from right under RI's nose. Until then, we have alot of work to do, in order to realise our dream.
That was a lengthy write-up.. :/ hehe.

Disappointment...
Assalamualaikum..
Today I realise a sad realisation. I am a disappointment. To who?
Myself.
I'm disappointed in what I've been unable to acheive, things that I should be able to. I love art. I love Infocomm Technology. I love debating. I love writing. However, lately, I realised that I haven't met the standards that I used to meet in these areas. Passion, has been killed by society. Everyone looks at me as a random kid in VS. To them I have no talents, no skills, no worth. I'm talking about Co-Curricular Activities.
Are we truly living in a world of meritocracy? Where leaders are chosen because of their skills and ability? Instead of their charisma and social status. In VS, it seems, there are many cases where they choose leaders who are popular and favoured by their seniors, peers and more importantly teachers. I write with deep thought, when I say that there are boundaries placed in place by society that cannot be broken. Ever.
I cannot handle the injustice the world is placing on me. I am seriously disappointed in myself. I do not blame my art teachers for being unable to see the artistic value in my works. I do not blame them for wanting more quality from me. Nor do I hate them for making me work for many late nights on a project, promising a leadership position, but then scrapping the entire project and giving the project AND the leadership position to another student without me knowing. All. Of. A. Sudden.
Years of experience and training. All down the drain of society's injustice. The social behaviour of mankind. There is no such thing as meritocracy amongst teenagers in ANY society. Favouritism runs DEEP in our blood. We vote for a leader because they appeal to us, not because of their ability.
What's the point? of having talent, yet it's unusable. Talent that cannot be used to contribute, if not to others, at the very least myself. I have the drive to learn more. I have been doing it for so many years. I've been driven by the possibility of making myself a better, more useful, person. I have never done anything for recognition or "brownie points". It was all for the betterment of myself. Any sort of recognition or reward is a bonus.
It gave me some sort of consolation, when I heard that the VS Malay Debate Team did not make through the first round. I was not chosen to be part of the team during the auditions. This kinda hurt me a little. Perhaps, thinking that way was selfish, despite offering its consolation to me.
I could go on and on talking about things I am disappointed in. Or I could, pick myself up and focus and what I kept me going for so long.
"Gonna' get me the knowledge, gonna study Islam
Am I going just to build my ego? so they call me “the Man”?
Does it matter if the people respect me, when its not for Allah?"
-'Intentions' By Native Deen..
My studies matters the most right now, and I am going to start afresh. Disappointed or not, it is all in the past and I can change NOTHING.
CA2 is coming nearer. And nearer.
Salam..Peace..

Quick Note
Assalamualaikum,
Today, a great burden has been lifted. I thank God.
Term 3 has started. 2 weeks ago. I have regained the same motivation I had in term 1, to study like there's no tomorrow. I bury myself in books to get away from the pains and annoyance of life. We (Luqman, Abdullah, Haziq, Istighfar) played basketball last monday (5/7/10). It was really fun. Monday was Youth Day, so there was no school and we met up at around 11am. We played up till 1PM. Haziq and Istighfar decided to run off to Goodspeed and play Age of Empires (this is especially dumb when STE is just around the corner), while the rest of us decided to go up and rest.
Abdullah and Luqman had brought books as we had planned to study after playing basketball. It was great to see my friends putting effort to revise. But boys will be boys. We spent about 60-70% of the time slacking off while the rest is actual studying. If you ask me, that's quite a good percentage. I managed to complete my A Maths homework. We ordered Pizza (thanks to my mom) for our late lunch at about 4PM.
When Abdullah and Luqman were leaving, Luqman realised he couldn't find his shoes. They were placed outside the house and just disappeared. Probably stolen. A $149 Nike does not go unnoticed in public. Unfortunately for him. He borrowed my crocs sandal/slippers and waveboard-ed home.
That's all for today.
Salam..Peace

Bandung Trip
Assalamualaikum!
Hello I'm blogging here using Aston Tropicana's internet connection at Bandung. I wanna update some amazing things that I've experienced so far on the first 3 days of my 5 day trip.
Day 1:
Plane took off at about 2 PM arrived at Bandung airport at approx 4PM (Singapore time) (Singapore and Indonesian time is the same but, in Indonesia, you need to "minus" one hour off the clock) Upon arriving, we were greeted by one of my dad's associates. We headed for Irsyad Satya, for a visit and our prayers. The school is amazing. It is eerily similar to Irsyad back home. The builiding reminds me of one of my many dreams. The facilities are complete (In fact, they are builiding a mosque). It comprises of Pre-School, Primary, Secondary and a Pre-U. The best part is the fresh air and the classroom views overlooking the mountainous horizon. Afterwards, we checked into Aston Tropicana and rested overnight.
Day 2:
Went up to Tangkuban Perahu volcano. It's active and alive and "eruptable". I've been there 4 years ago but it rained and we had to leave early. But this time, the weather was much more pleasant. The cold mountain air was really enjoyable but the sulphur was putting me off. After awhile we got used to the putrid smell of sulphur and went visit the rows of shops down the mountain. Worth while. Later at night, the rest of the family went shopping but I stayed at the hotel to rest. Had beef black pepper udon via room service for dinner.
Side Note:
I love the way Indonesians speak. It's fluid, smooth and music to my ears. It's language is similar to Malay in some ways but has a different words and accent. The way they speak is fast, I can barely catch any words.
Day 3:
Today was even more epic then the rest of the other days. We went to a place called Kawah Putih. It is a crater of a volcano which erupted years ago. The amazing thing is that there is a path leading towards the bottom of the crater where there is a sort sulphur lake. It's really cold and there is sci-fi feel towards the whole situation. The smell, as usual, is revolting. But to be in the middle of a crater feels, humbling. Any time, the whole area could go off, blasting off chunks of whatever into the sky. I was minute item in the vast universe.
Will Edit Soon

Holidays are here again..
Assalamalaikum...
Life is as annoying as it can be.
Results are out, didn't do as well as I thought I would do. I have my holidays to improve.
This is my worst holiday so far. I don't feel like doing anything. Tomorrow I will be going for a trip to bandung, and I'm not a wee bit excited. Why? Because life contradicts. The world is teasing me. Messing around with my mind.
I'm seriously not in the mood to enjoy myself. If you see my sour face, it's not because I hate going, it's because I can't enjoy it.
I will open my mind to all the possibilities and stay positive, despite everyone around me reminding me about how much I am a failure. Everyone around me just don't know how to be supportive, or encouraging or at LEAST try to lift my spirits. I don't want to hear about my epic failures in life, or about how perfect you are, how awesomely smart and "geniusy" you are. But being my true self, I will put a positive attitude for the sake of my existence. Don't spoil it by telling me how perfect you are.
I got CA2 and SA2 to work for, but the impossibility of Sec 3 life has fated me with grades that will be no better than my SA1 grades. I will strive to do much better than ever. Nothing is impossible, despite most things being really difficult.
"If you have nothing good to say, it is best if you just keep quiet..."
yes, flattering yourself by insulting others (even if it's for their own good) is not a good thing to say.
Salam...Peace.. [(:P)<-<

Exams are over...
Assalamualaikum...
Exams were over last Friday. It was a very challenging experience.But I hope all the effort I've put into studying would give me some benefits. I seriously hope so.
Break time.
I went to the Botanical Gardens for Ruzaini's birthday "party/gathering" it was kinda fun. I met up with Abdullah at Bishan MRT station. We had some minor "complications" but we met Shazaa and this new person I've never met before named Nisa'. Shazaa was annoyed at us because of our "complications". She made us go on a wild goose chase with her looking for party supplies.
Later on we go to the Botanic Gardens, we found a nice sheltered area overlooking a man made pond. We slacked off a little, drinking some soft drinks and listening Ruzaini playing his guitar. Then we moved to a nice grass field, put on a picnic mat and slacked again. We brought each other up to speed on what's happening in our lives. By the way, Shazaa, Abdullah, Luqman Nurhakeem, Shira, Hijannah (and her siblings) Nisa', Nabilah (Momo?) and her bf were there..for the record..XD
Me and Luqman went to the toilet and took our ablutions, and prayed Zuhr(at abt 3.40+) in a secluded area some where in the visitor centre. Afterwards, we had cake-cutting and eating. Sing Happy Birthday and done. It was 4.30+ (or 5.30+ not sure)and I decided to leave with Abdullah.
It was kinda nice to take a break. Fresh air. Reminds me of Irsyad, and the good times.
The next day, I watched Iron Man 2 with my family at 9.20PM at J8. Why so late? Earlier shows were fully booked. But the show was more than what I expected. Epic.
So that was my little exam break. Tomorrow (Wednesday) I will be receiving results for some papers, and I really hope, for everyone's sake, that I do well.
