Dear diary,

I think i feel quite lugubrious today because many things have happened to me. I don't know why i should feel unhappy about these occurrences. However, i realized that i have committed lots of misdeeds. As a weak human, i cannot deny that i have my weaknesses and shortcomings. Never mind, i ll assume all this matter as motivations for me in facing this life. Indeed, life is full of obstacles and hurdles which can make someone fall down and hurt in his or her life.

What should i do if someone who i really resent, is very close to my parents? what can i say if someone rebukes me over my weakness? should i backfire or ignore it? Many questions have occurred to my mind and i don't know how to answer all the questions. Thank God because i have answered some of them but still i cannot find out all the answers. Is it because i did not ask other people on how to answer the questions ? or because i lacked reading books? These questions also remain unanswered.

Maybe i feel depressed as i have to do lots of works such as writing university essays, revising all the subjects, and also completing my homework. Last time, my teacher had told me to make a list of jobs that we wanted to do so we would not be depressed so much. Ok, later i ll do what my teacher has told me and i wish i could reduce this depression. As the eldest brother and the first son in my family, i need to be a role model and at the same time i need to show a good example to my siblings. i pledge to myself that i want to do my best in this life in whatever situation i face. yup, Si se puede!

I am impressed with Tun Mahathir Mohammed. Even though he has resigned as the Malaysian prime minister, he is still active and prolific. Just now, i read Utusan Malaysia and there was one section about Tun Mahathir. According to the news, he has invoked teenagers to get involved in blogging because it could help to sharpen the writing skill. He also mentioned that bloggers are free to write whatever they want but they must still abide to the rules so our country will remain peaceful without any uproar. i will keep writing my blog as long as i could so i can sharpen my writing skill too and at the same time, i can improve my language skill.

Last night, i spent my time surfing internet and reading the current news. i was taken aback when i read the title of the news "Hijab barred in American courts". To me, this is really inappropriate and unjust to Muslim women who choose to don veils in their daily activities. Hijab is not an oppression; it is a dressing code in Islam and not a religion symbol displaying one's affiliation. Hijab ban has only sparked anger in Islam World as it obviously violates the teachings of Islam. i totally disagree with this ban because it disdains Islam and denies human rights.

Replanting trees in the forest

I woke up late today at about 8.oo a.m. i was quite bit angry to myself because i was supposed to get up early this morning- this is my principal... then, immediately, i went to bathroom and bathed though i was tired- i slept late last night because i did my math internal assesment. i was suprised as i went out from the bathroom, i saw izudin get up from his bed.. usually he is still sleeping at this time.. i wonder why. later, i took ablution and performed dawn prayer and took breakfast. i only ate biscuits and drank a cup of coffeee.. never mind.. at least i had something to eat rather than nothing. i asked myself why arif also woke up early this morning.. quite strange...i looked they were like rushing and murmuring something that i could not hear.. i did not really bother because i had planned to do my homework. i hoped i could finish up all my tareas so that they wouldn't be burdensome to me.

Before they were leaving for somewhere, arep told me that he wanted to go to Bandar Sunway.. i could see that he was wearing socks at that time.. many questions had arised in my mind and i just assumed that they wanted to jog and have breakfast over there. when i was about to read bbc news, my tummy went 'crazy'. abruptly, i took the towel and entered the toilet.hmmm i felt relieved after that... somehow, right after i went out from the loo, my mobile phone rang.. hmm.. weird.. i answered the call and from the voice, i already that the person was arif.. he asked me to go to the field which was located near to bandar Sunway.. i doubted.. further on, i asked him for what purpose i should go there.. he said that we were going to replant trees and join some other interesting activities.. he urged me to go there quickly..

I put on my cap and shoes before leaving.. i walked as fast as i could. on the way to the place, izudin phoned me. he told me to register at a booth which was located near to the public toilet.
however, i could not imagine the place as i seldom went to bandar Sunway. From afar, i could see many peoople wearing green shirts and hanging bags at their arms.. they were also holding two or three trees at the same time. i supposed i was late..i summoned up the courage to find the booth and finally i found it. i asked the volunteer whether i could participate in the program.. he said,' yes u can'. Thank Allah the all Mighty.. i still got the chance to join the program. the volunteer gave me a bag, a green t-shirt aand a pen. i requested to plant trees at that place, but he said that i was a bit late to join the activity.. trying to cheer me up, he suggested to take part in other activities. i just said yes to him.. i was not satisfied actually. i called izudin and asked where he was.

He told that he and arif were in group 14 and they were planting trees in the forest. then, i asked a volunteer where was group 14 and he showed me the way to get there. along my way, i saw many people were busy planting trees. wow... So, hardworking and attentive.. at last, i found izu and arep.. Thank God. i told them i didn't get gloves to plant the tree. they explained what we must do and how to plant the tree. Actually, someone had already dug holes and marked the holes with long sticks. so, it would be easier to all volunteers to plant trees at the area. izu, then, gave his gloves to me so that i could try this activity. i was touched because he gave me the chance to plant the tree.

I was exuberant to see arep, izu and me working together as one group. we helped each other in this program. we alternately dug out the hole, put the tree insside it and covered the soil . if i am not mistaken, i managed to plant about 10 trees or more than that. some photographers took our pictures while we were doing this activity. i felt gratified though i was tired. afterwards, we went back to the main booth and came across azam, nurhayati and aileen. i never thought to see them there. we greeted each other and talked about how many plant they had planted.

There was a booth where all of us put our thumprints on a drawing. the drawing showed many trees without even a leaf. Our job was to stamp our thumbprints on the trees. this activity was really exciting. Then, we went to the food booth and ate sandwiches and fruits. i supposed they served scrumptous foods.. To have more fun and at same time try to complete my our CAS hour, we participated in eco-hunt. It was a treasure hunt and we had to figure out the types of trees, arrange a sequence of pictures, distiguish biodegradable and non biodegradable stuffs and make words from the alphabet given.

Izu and i managed to list 5 words related to enviroment for a short period. The words were biomass, bee, ants, tree and hmmm.... i forgot the last word.. then, after completing the task given for the eco hunt game, we returned the question papers to check our answers.. i thought we would win in this game. while waiting for the results to be announced, we took lunch together and drank orange juice. i also saw Zainal Abidin, one of my favourite artists, singing on the stage at the main booth.. he asked all people to sing together with him.. his performance was fantastic and exhilarating. one of the best parts in his perfomance was when he asked all the people to sing ' di bumi ini' using his tones. It was as if i attended vocal class at that time. frankly, i could not follow his tones and it was quite difficult for me to make the tones. Nevertheless, i really enjoyed his performance.

Later, we went to the eco hunt booth to know who would be the winner. after the person in charge explaining the answers, she announced the winner, first runner up and second runner up for this game. unfortunately, we lost in the game but we were still happy with the results. finally, we went back home to D shire. i wish i can participate other interesting and enjoying programs next time.

mi vida hoy

hmmmm... i am quite relieved today as i have revised some of sat questions.. today my opah, mak long's family, ucu, and cik zizul came to my house for break fast ( buka puasa). after eating, i went to my room to do solat maghrib and i did some of maths questions.. to me it is ok to study even though i have for a minute becoz i believe that time is crucial in human's life.

i also managed to memorize some new word like inconggrible, inherent, inane, inate, and insipid.
besides, i read two spanish articles in order to improve my spanish. thanks God. however, i still have many jobs to do such as english commentary, iop, ee, and physics question. i always pray to Allah that i manage to settle all my homework one day. Allah said in the holy Quran... so verily, every difficulty, there is relief. so, i must work hard and strive for my ambition to be an awesome geologist.. insya Allah.

asimismo, yo recibe' a good lesson today after watching cerekerama at tv3. the movie tells about an ungrateful, rude, and pretentious son, who dies in terrible condition as his parents dont forgive his faults. at first, he is really a good, benevolent, altruistic child to his family. however, he becomes a forgetful person after he meets a beautiful, rich lady. he feels shy to have a poor family. he even does not invite his parents to his wedding because he assumes that their parents are the poors and cannot live with the richs.. in my opinion, this movie is harrowing and suitable for any viewers especially to those who are disrespectful to their parents.. i really hope i can be an altruistic, simpatico, benevolent and respectful person to everybody in this world. hence, we as humans must venerate and treat our parents very well as they have already looked after us since we were born to this world. one more message ( to myself and others) ...
dont be bellicose because i think it can bring many problems to us.. ok that's all for today.

alhamdullilah, thank Allah for everything. today, i woke up early in the morning - it was around 5.00 o'clock... huhuhu... i felt somnolent.. entonces, yo comi el pan que aref me ayudo' a comprarlo. ezriq also woke up to take sahur.. of course sahur is important. Rasulullah said that there is blessing in Sahur.. so i will grab this chance to get the blessings eventhough i feel extremely tired. i ate roti john for sahur, it was spicy but i managed to finish it. Gracias Dios! After that, i drank a lot of water in order to dispel or lessen the spiciness at my throat. actually i did not want to take hot and spicy foods as it can affect my voice as well as my tummy. why i said so? bcoz i need to take care of my voice for theatre art performance... fufufu... i am going to perform in nov. i am acting for waiting for Godot with eugene.

To me, acting is quite though and unic as we need passionate and patience in carrying the character. i donno about other people but that is my opinion. i found that it is hard to me to memorize my lines in waiting for godot and the good son. u know y? frankly speaking, i always stammer when acting my chracter and sometimes i feel like something has constrained my voice from going out from my voice box. hence, i lose confident and hope that theratre art class will end early for that day. hehehehe. however, i'll try my best for the perfomance as we have been practising since last year. i wish i can memorise my lines before this coming thrusday. insya Allah!

i went to school with a van at & o'clock. i prayed in my heart ,' i hope there will be no assembly today'. as i arrived at school, i heard an annoucement saying that the assembly would be held at 8 a.m. ahh.... it really spoilt my plan to my ee... knowing that the assembly would take about one hour, then i decided to bring along sat vocabulary listsand hoped that my time could be filled with beneficial activity...

i was quite joyful, happy and feliz today because i managed to revise some SAT questions. at the same time, i memorized several new words like parsimony, affable, affluent, revorted, and etc.
i went back early today with Azmani. then, i took nap and i woke up at 6 p.m. subsequently, i did solat Asar and went to bazar together with Arif and Azmani.. sometimes, i wonder what is relationship between ... and ... because for what i have seen, they look like a blissful couple as the A is always helping the B and the b is always joking with the A... it still remains a question to me.. i believe that someday i will get the answer.

i also went to surau to perform solat tarawih and to listen to religion talk. i startled for a while when i saw the speaker who already gave his speech last year during the fasting month.. his last speech was really remarkable, articulate and quite funny though it was a bit... to me. today. he reminded as to always go to to surau or mosques as we do in Ramadan. Moreover, he advised all the brothers and sisters in Islam to attend majlis2 ilmu especially if they are about religion. he said that religion is really and extremely important in our life. we are bound to God's law and we must try our best to follow and obey His commands.

ok... that's all for today. i wish that i can write my diary tomorrow. que Allah me bendiga!

only one day left before school re open on this monday... yo pienso que estudiar es importante pero no me gusta hacer mucha tarea.. la tarea es loca.. hehehe. whatever it takes, i really need to complete Ib and try to achieve 35 points in order to be an awesome geologist-my ambition since i was in form 3. anyway, i fasted today. thank God for giving me strength, fortitude and equanimity in my life.
