Malaysia is in mourning today due to the passing of the Prime Minister's wife, Datin Seri Endon Mahmud. She passed away at 7.55am, 16th Ramadhan 1426H, due to the complications of breast cancer that she had suffered from for quite some time.
This morning I got a call from my boss, requesting me to join the 'rombongan' from UiTM to pay her a last respect at her residence. Though we arrived quite late (because we got lost along the way), but Alhamdulillah, we managed to arrive on time. Lots of well-known people and diplomats were there by the time we got in, and the crowd thronged in just to catch a glimpse of Allahyarhamah for the last time. Here, I witnessed some of the blessings of being a Malaysian. People of all races, creed, background and religion came in and pay their last respects without ever highlighting their differences at all.
Though lots of criticism was being fired to her during her lifetime, but today's event had actually shed some light of what we didn't know about her in truth. It has been raining since before Subuh... and it still rains until now. There must be some unseen 'hikmah' that we need to think over in her passing.
May Allah bless her soul and may she be placed among the chosen ones... Ameen...
AL-FATIHAH

Adoi!!!
Me got pimples on my chin...! So very painful..aiyoh!!! Anyone has the remedy? Plz help me...
Salam bersambut seikhlas hati...(wah, wah!)
It has been a nice day today. It rained early this morning.. which explains why I feel so 'liat' to get up and go to class...if only it was Sunday..*sigh*
Anyway, got another test coming up tomorrow.. well, it's an in-class assignment for Syntax actually. Tomorrow is also the 'Majlis Penyampaian Watikah' day. The previous & newly elected Students' Coucil from all over Malaysia will be attending this function. As for me, I have to rush to DSB (Dewan Seri Budiman) right after that assignment. Was really hoping to meet my cousin from Perak, but he had confirmed that he won't be attending. Sad to have his absence around, but what to do...
Right now, need to calm myself down so that I won't be so obnoxiously-and-emotionally-disturbed. I guess that time of the month is approaching anyway... wonder how many days will I have to 'ganti' for the missed days of fasting. Oh yes... and I'm, also anxiously waiting for my 'baju raya'.. hehehe! It's a bit outrageous this time around, but it's very decent... me not the type who like to flash my flesh...(geddit?).

One of those days
This is one of my favourite songs while I was in school... and I still like it until now. There's a nice ring to it, I think... :-)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Breakdown - Mariah Carey
You called yesterday to basically say
That you care for me
But that you're just not in love
Immediately, I pretended
To be feeling similarly
And led you to believe I was OK
To just walk away from the one thing
That's unyielding and sacred to me
Well, I guess I'm trying to be
Non-chalant about it
And I'm going to extremes
To prove I'm fine without you
But in reality
I'm slowly losing my mind
Underneath the guise of a smile
Gradually, I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel
And I lie convincingly
'Cause I don't want to reveal
The fact that that I'm suffering
So, I wear my disguise
'Til I go home at night
And turn down all the lights
And then I break down and cry
So, what do you do
When somebody you're devoted to
Suddenly just stops loving you
And it seems they haven't got a clue
Of the pain that rejection
Is putting you through
Do you cling to your pride
And sing "I Will Survive"
Do you lash out and say
"How dare you leave this way"
Do you hold on in vain
As they just slip away
Well, I guess I'm trying to be
Non-chalant about it
And I'm going to extremes
To prove I'm fine without you
But in reality
I'm slowly losing my mind
Underneath the guise of a smile
Gradually, I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel
And I lie convincingly
'Cause I don't want to reveal

Ramadhan is here again...
It's the holy month of Ramadhan, much anticipated by Muslims all over the globe. Called my mother yesterday. It seems that my paternal grandmother might not have much time longer. I just hope that there won't be much of a conflict later... Amin...

New Chapter...
Alhamdulillah, the campus final election has gone smoothly without much fuss. Although I'm not contesting this time around, but the heat can be felt almost everywhere. However, the biggest shock came a bit later.
I was expecting to stay on my previous post, but my new comrades think otherwise. Through a secret ballot done by the new members of the council last Friday (30th September 2005), I was voted as the Vice President of the students' council for the 2005/06 session. It was really surprising as I wasn't expecting to get that post. Well, I guess some people had put their trust in me and knowing that this time around that the responsibility is greater and heavier. I hope that I have that strength to bring it forward... InsyaAllah.
To those who had chosen me, I would like to thank earnestly for the trust that you have put on me. Being as human as I can be, I could be at err at times so please assist me along the way and together, we would make a great team together.
God Bless....
