Its the time of the year again. Im a bit late lah. Dah brape Syawal eh? *scrambles for Berita Harian*
10th Syawal.
Oh right. 1 test down, 1 more to go, 4 assignments due, exams peeking in....
wateva. I'm still up for jalan raye (x2), forum irama and a quick visit to the bf's new house!
Hamizan cant wait to see youu.
Seems like the fellow NIE-ans not going for jalan raye. Instead we 'raye' in the classroom.

100th post!
The Best of Friends
In old, worn out shabby looking clothes, Amir Al-Mu’minin, Ali Bin Abi Taleb, sat saying grace to Allah.
Abu Mariam, one of the servants, sat on his knees close to Ali and whispered:
“Amir Al-Mu’minin, I have something to ask of you.”
Ali said: “What is it that you want to ask?”
Abu Mariam said: “That you throw away the clothes you are wearing. They are old and ripped and do not go well with your position.”
Ali Bin Abi Taleb put the tip of his clothes on his eyes and started to cry until his weeping was loud.
In embarrassment, Abu Mariam said: “O Amir Al-Mu’minin, if I knew that it meant so much to you I would not have asked you to take it off.”
Ali said while wiping his tears: “O Abu Mariam, my love for this jacket is increasing. It was a gift from my friend and beloved companion.”
Oddly, Abu Mariam asked: “And who is this friend of yours O Amir?”
Ali said: “ ‘Umar Ibn Al Khattab. He was the best of friends.”
He then started to weep once again until the sound of his suppressed cries could be heard from afar.

Ramadhan Kareem semuaa~ can't believe it's already the last ten days of Ramadhan. I hope to spend this period of time with qyams. U noe, its funny how I can wake up for qyam in Ramadhan and liyatt sgt to do the same for the rest of the months. Same goes for other ibadah. Solat sunnat qabliah, ba'diah, reciting the quran...etc. In relation to that, there are some people who do the fardhus only in Ramadhan. Thus the label 'Ramadhan Muslim'. Something to ponder on la eh.
