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.
