Hari Raya Haji 2011

The kambings are here!

& Surprise, surprise, look at what I've found!

In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful

Assalamualaikum

Title: Hari Raya Haji 2011

Dad got home late last night because he and several other ustazs had to wait for the first batch of kambings to arrive Assyakirin mosque! And they did arrive safely alhamdulilah. Kambings fresh from Australia yo! & out of the many many kambings that came, one of them died because the kambing was sick. So the people took a red marker, and drew a huge red 'X' on the body of that kambing, as a symbol that the kambing was sick. He died exactly an hour later. So sad right? ]=

When daddy got home, he showed me a photo that caught me by surprise. It was a screenshot of a banner that was put up just right outside the entrance of Assyakirin mosque. It was a banner that advertised Pergas's Sijil Pengajian Islam(SPI) course intake for 2012. And I happen to be in that banner. I mean, an image of me seated at the second row from the front in black tudung, all alone. Hah! Thank God my face couldn't be seen, else I think I could just die from embarrassment.

Speaking of which, ah how time flies. I'm still clueless as to whether I should take the Express route or the Normal route for SLPI next year. Registration forms for SLPI's intake for next year have already been issued out to us, last Wednesday. We have to submit it in to Pergas by 30 Novemeber. Express route for SLPI will take up 1.5 years; I'll be 19 upon graduation. But if I were to take the Normal route for SLPI, it will take me 3 years to complete the whole course and whoa by then, I will already be 21 years old! =O

And apart from that, the fees for Pergas is really expensive. And thaaaat, is another factor that I will have to consider. I don't want to burden my parents with my Pergas fees, but yet at the same time, I very badly want to know more about Islam and gain more ilm'. Am I being too selfish here? Well, I guess I am. Maybe, I should stop Pergas for a while and focus on getting a diploma in Early Childhood first? But then again, the thought of not going to ANY religious classes at all, for the next few years or so, saddens me to no end and I could literally cry till my eyes go blind because I know I need classes like these, to help keep my eeman going strong and steady.

O Allah, what is it that you have in store for me? Please O please, open the doors of rezqi for me!  ]'=
