iOS6 upgrade causes my blog draft to go MIA

Bismillah and salam boys,
Okay, am in a bit of a hurry just gonna jot down some points:

Positives

  • am keeping to 5 obligatory prayers daily, alhamdullilah! Try as much as I can to salat fajr & isya' at the masjid
  • eventually went to KL for Jonah Jones 10s - awesome trip and fantastic atmosphere
  • started attending rugby training, wednesdays & fridays, at old PA - left knee strained though and cannot sujud completely
  • attending religious talk on Thursdays : Purification of the Heart @ Darul Aqram, thanks to Uncle Rezuan, met new faces and befriended them- Uncle Asyraf, also a teacher.
  • Started on a TRA diet plan to support your mum in her endeavours - 5 Love languages : Acts of Service? - realised that I have lost 5 kg since the last time i monitored my daily food intake! Alhamdullilah!
  • More patient now - even after wheels of bike was stolen, Zaki vomitting late at night, etc. Allah give me strength.
Negatives
  • My needs not taken care of
  • still puffing...sigh, makes a good silent companion
  • ICT dept plan & mapping still incomplete
  • solat still not as khusyuk as I would like it to be

Goodbye to a fellow friend.

Salam boys, Change is the only constant on life. I am having Iftar with Ms Faridah, my school TA, who is leaving the school for greener pastures to better provide for her family. May Allah bless her with bountiful rezeki and good health. Insha'allah!

The last lap

I was on my way to marking PSLE scripts @ Toa Payoh. in a crowded mrt train but chillin' with hari raya tunes on my ipod. sepasang kurung biru...such sweet melancholy...thankfully my malay is still good enough to really appreciate the words. sighh... feels good. though eid celebrations have become low key for the past few years, i've stepped it up a notch a bit this year by hanging twinkling lights! energy-effecient LEDs, for the record. : ) wait..there's an unfamiliar raya song being played. Anyways, probably with my sons Hari raya might take on a different meaning in years to come. For me the takbir-my memories of my grandparents it rekindles & the old school, evergreen Raya songs will always be my version of a sweet & tranquil Eid celebrations. one more shout-out to my beloved pupils- all the best for your year-end exams. Your best is yet to come. Insha'allah!

Kuliah Subuh

Bismillah and Salam boys, Just finished Fajr prayers at Assyafaah mosque and am now listening to the mini-sermon, if I can call it that. These are the excerpts.

Eg: (1) Na an am tah - changed to Na an am ti(etc) (2) rab bil al lamin - rab bal al lamin : no change in meaning just like poor arabic grammar (3) wa lad dhooooor liiiiiin - wa lad zoooor liiiiin : mostly Pakistanis and Indian Muslims from India mispronounce this - solat not valid as meaning is changed (4) if one cannot recite al-Fatiha especially a mualaf, just recite one of the 7 ayats of al-Fatiha - dzikir. One can even simply stand for the right duration for the recitation of al-Fatiha when solat and follow the sequential movements (5) al-Fatiha cannot be recited in any other languages except for in Arabic (6) jemaah praye...
