holiday!
later, at 9am sharp after submitting my storyboards, marks the official day for my holiday. after two months of intense projects, what better way to end them with 21 days of break before the start of year 3 as a design student at temasek polytecnic. time.flies.so.fast. have i physically and mentally prepare myself to face the life after poly? what where why how when who??
alot of things have gone thru my mind on what i plan, intend, wish and want to do. i guess the least i can do now is to set priority. maybe i should start drawing out my new timeline for the next ten years and better stick to it, by god wills. hmmm...
plans for the upcoming holiday?? learn as much as i can from mama and hopefully at the end of 21 days, i can achieve my "degree" in it. whats the 'it'? for me to know, its for u to find out. ;P

2 more days
my final submission will be just hours away but im blogging. funny rite. just sharing some stuffs. pardon me if im blabbering something that u guys might not understand.
i slept at 5.15am in the morning last night doing my archiCAD and photoshop rendering. i planned to wake up at 6am for subuh then continue my work. tau2 i overslept and missed my subuh. pfft.
i thought i can get things over and make my final decision. however, everytime u appear, u're giving me second thought. am i feeling something that is against what i'm saying? is it a sign or its just me?
prolly its the heart and mind.
one thing i dont favor when doing my project is that i keeep thinking of things that is unimportant and unnecessary.
*dear amyra, are u still sleeping, leaving ur laptop on the whole night again?*

tired. penat. ta`aban. pagod ako. meh thak gaya hoo.
my day started off as early as 9am and ended at 11pm. but im blogging and still not asleep. does that mean my day have not yet end?
anyways. attended abang's sea soldier passing out ceremony at 2.30pm. so far, we've been attending abg's grad ceremony for the 3rd time since he entered NS and everytime i went, there must be someone new appearing in my life, if u get what i mean. im not sure whether i did mentioned in my previous post. the first passing out parade was at tekong. abg's sargent, khairul, wanted my number so badly that he was willing to lighten abg's punishment. blessing in disguise huh?? lol. the 2nd ceremony was at changi naval base. his mate, saleh khalid basharahil, kept begging for my number cos he wanted to bring me to SSC night as his date. abg gave him his number and saleh memorise it. he kept singing my name. no wonder la i asik tersedak aje. ok bedek. lol. i thot everything was over after i met him at the ceremony but abg just told me that he met saleh at jurong recently wearing all smart and good looking. when abg asked where is he heading to, he said he's going out with abg's sister. :/ the 3rd ceremony was at the same place. but this time, abg received his sargent rank. do u know that in sea soldier, majority of the people are chinese? dont ask me why. so anyway, when the prize giving ceremony was on, they called this particular person named kadir alsogoff. abg adik sat beside me and he signal me saying he's good looking. i told him not to talk out loud cos u'll never know where his parent is. silap2 kat dpn kite. so when the event is over, everybody stood up and guess what, they are near us! i was like, "amyra, if u're here, is this one of the sign??~~ and she'll go 'duh!' " haha his parents happened to be our neighbour 10 years ago when we were staying at bedok. same block only that im staying at the 22nd storey. during the reception, they sat beside us. i looked at kadir and in my mind, i kept asking myself that i saw this guy somewhere but i couldnt remember where. dah sampai rumah baru i remembered that i saw him thru ahmad alhaddad's friendster. lerr. but that time he still had his hair and much fairer. see how NS really change people's life and appearance. good and bad actually.
after the event, we went home and then to baba's house. we told habib everything and he smiled, in a cheeky way. and what does he trying to tell?? no idea. basically everyone understood what i want.
hmm.. should i brag abt the rest?? nahh.. i dont think so. ;P

Habib Noh
Thursday, March 19, 2009
as promised, im going to share with u guys about Habib Noh.
Among his honourable habits was to distribute food to the poor. Often, he would enter a shop, take out all the money from the cash drawer and throw it to the waiting children. Those shopkeepers who were aware of his holy state did not make any attempt to stop him and were rewarded by Allah with prosperity in their business thereafter.
Such activities however, were frowned upon by the British colonial masters who tried to put him in jail a number of times. However, after doing this many times, they finally gave up and left him alone. The reason? Each time he was arrested, and put in jail, he mysteriously disappeared from his cell and was seen outside walking free. This is one of the signs of awliya, their service to God has set them free from man.
He urged his companions to always show compassion, to increase their religious knowledge and to be consistent in learning the Al-Quran. Among his advice was "Let there not be any spite or ill-will among you and let there not be even a bit of greediness among you."
Stories on Habib Noh often revolve around his miracles--especially his incredible ability to appear in a number of places at the same time. He had been seen in Mecca when it was known that he has not left Singapore. He has been known to say farewell to travellers leaving Singapore with the words 'I will be there when you arrive'. When the traveller reached his destination months later, Habib Noh would be there to welcome him at the harbour.
Story 1: One day, a group of people visited Habib Noh RA. They waited for him as he prayed Asar. Soon, Habib Noh RA came out to meet his visitors. While he was greeting the second person in the group, he observed the man's face and said, "It's better for you to leave now because your mom is facing her last moments, and is dying." The man rushed home accompanied by Habib Noh RA. When they arrived, the man's mother had just died.
Story 2: A gentleman by the name of Tok Mat, who owned a horse carriage, used to take Habib Noh on rides in his carriage. One night Tok Mat was returning home alone in his carriage felt quite frightened, as Singapore, one-hundred years ago, was not a safe place as it is now. Robbers and bandits were everywhere, waiting to take unwitting travelers by surprise. Tok Mat felt fearful and wished Habib Noh was there to protect him. He turned around and was shocked to see Habib Noh sitting in his carriage and smiling at him.

baba's birthday.
believe it or not, my baba had just turned 70! i cant believe it myself. time flies so fast.
my day started off with visit to maqam Habib Noh to sought blessing of his sincere invocation and asking Allah for help with his baraka. (i'll share some interesting stories about Habib Noh in my next post. i did wiki on him. :))
after the visit, went to elias to help mama. shared some stories and off to send hykel for his guitar class. i sat at macdonald, alone, with a cup of tea and an apple pie with a laptop doing my project. at first i thought his class was abt 30 mins, tau2 it ended abt an hour and a half later. i swear it was mendak! pfft.
so anyways, ayah picked us up and went straight to baba's house. must-have cutting cake ceremony was held in her room cos her leg has not fully recover.
below are some of the pictures snapped on that day. :)
i have no idea why i snapped this. :/

thats the caretaker of this mosque,habib hussein, which happen to be my habib's younger brother. he led the ritual.

we had to climb up 47 steps to reach the top. imagine habib hussein has to climb up and down the stairs everyday.

since my habib aint strong enough to climb up the stairs, he did his own version of ritual downstairs with us.

one of his du'a was to have cucu menantu cepat sikit and baik of cos. then he gave a pat on my back. awww... lol. i remember that day was baba. now his turn. i wonder how cepat is his cepat? does he even know that im only turning 19 this year?? haha

i used this picture as my dp in msn. the first impression i got from different kind of ppl whom i chatted with was nice, mcm mak2, 2 people said mcm datin and "are u engaged?" hahaha. anyone wants too comment on this picture? i can continue jotting it down in my list. lol

at night
'wajib' for a birthday

mama said u look like bomoh. haha. bomoh?? ring a bell amyra??

not everyone is in this picture.

alright. thats all i have for u guys.
Happy 70 Birthday ya baba! may u stay healthy and happy always. i shall keep the rest of my wishes and prayers to myself n Allah. :)
(i took more than an hour blogging for this post. ape tknye, i was distracted with American Idol.)

a week.
been quite some time since i update my blog. its either i'm lazy to blog or i dont have spare time to blog. whatever the reason is, ALASAN! :/
well, what happened to me while i'm gone? basically i was down with a heartburn. uh huh. i said heartburn. just to let u guys know. heartburn has nothing got to do with heart. cliche aye? anyways, i kept denying that i was suffering from it. i was down for 3 days but i still went out to watch Push at the cinema. watching the casts didnt bore me except for Dakota Fanning. wonder y they choose her as the 'watcher'. NEXT!
should i talk abt my project and bore u readers with the same-old-thing? ok maybe not. just a hint, my project will end in abt 9 days time?? so to my dear girlies which i've been postponing our date, i'll be free like a bird after that for two weeks! inshallah i'll spare some of my time for u guys. farah, no sheesha outing please! ;)
does it really make the heart grow fonder?

architecture and biology??
P3, i must say, is an interesting approach in the way i design spaces. i can still remember vividly that for my P1, i design it based on site. P2 was based on site and keyword. P3 are based on site, keyword, architect and biology.
for someone with background in art instead of bio, its very very challenging at first. luckily i had a good tutor for that. n what amazed me also is that i managed to understand it in abt an hour plus??
btw, appreciate ur effort fidz. credit to farina and farah. :)

reply to my deary Amirah's blog post.
hmm.. how should i start.
ok firstly, nur nk mintak maaf ngan am kalau kadang2 cara nur nasihat kn am tegas sbb am tau lah diri am tu, degil nauzubillah! :)
kalau boleh, janganlah am bandingkan nur dengan sahabat Rasulullah s.a.w. Dengan bandingan itu, nur takut nant timbul perasaan riak atau ade yg tak senang hati. nur pun bkn lah perfect sgt jadi lebih baik am simpan aje ape pendapat yg baik atau pun yg buruk tentang diri nur. biar masing2 menilaikannya sendiri. lagipon, nur lebih senang kalau berbuat baik secara senyap2.
sebenarnye bukan am sorg aje yg berpendapat mcm gitu tentang diri nur. ade lagi satu. jalan ceritanya seakan2 tapi nur tk akan kongsi kat sini sebab nur rase tk perlu.
nur akan buat ape yg nur rase patut. kalau pasal saidina abu bakar tu, wallahualam. seriously nur tk sedar sampai am bilang.
trust me. this reply post dah dihantar censor board. so tau2 aje la ape maknenye. BORING! :)

sleep
Sunday, March 1, 2009
i feel like throwing up what i'd just ate. i think its because of tido lambat. *my hand smell of bleach. how can i get rid of it? but i think its better than bau pari that i siang tadi. still!* i slept at 4.16am last night and i blame hafidz for this. haha. well just to clear things up, hafidz is my classmate. we talk alot. theres topic on islam, school, friends and lots more. i had fun chatting with him tho. ape tk nye, smp 4 pagi! haha. skali2 can uh. everyday of cos cannot. sedangkan satu hari tido lambat aje my body aint doing justice to me.
i better do my proposal now. enough of external distraction.

My Bloody Valentine

initially my plan for today was to stay at home n do assignment. however, my mind wanted to do it but my body wanted to go somewhere. kebetulan mama pun balik siang so we ended up going vivo. no plans of watching movie at all. it was impromptu.
i saw the trailer before but i have no idea that the movie was that violence. it was rated M18 for violence and nudity. i dont see the reason or the need for nudity in some scene. i dont think im eating in the next few days after watching the blood n the heart n the killing n what have you. its in 3D so we have to put on the glasses throughout the movie n it seems like its popping out of the screen. its like IMAX. theres a few scenes i tried to elak. luckily the theater gelap. if not buat paisey aje. haha.
btw, confession of a shopaholic belum main kat singapore yet. its coming soon. im not sure when tho.
*1 march, which is today, is mama n ayah's 22nd anniversary. now that i realised, thats fast!*
