sunday fun!

::woowhee, what a sunday! After a rather miserable saturday wasted at Deyi Sec for that tarian competition, when we had lotsa fun wearing make-up!! And had lotof fun dancing, coz we all thought, we danced as perfectly as we could. But sayang, unfortunately, the judges weren't impressed, maybe its because our instructor came from a different school of thought (in malay dance sense) as the judges, so we didn't take home any prizes. Oh how I wished we had been one of the winners yesterday, the winner took home whopping $500 cash la! PLus sexy individual trophies! Nvm, a chance gone begging. Yup, was so sad that i had no mood to go for medfac meeting too. Sorry guys. Was too emotionally drained :( ~ Dinner was urgh too, poor service, poor food, poor portions... Yuck :( was still hungry after dinner.

But anw, Sunday was good. Skipped madrasah to go for this talk at Masjid Sultan Auditorium, which went extremely well. The speaker was this excellent motivational speaker from Malaysia, and the talk was about dispelling the myth about lazy Malays. In fact, Malays can be hardworking, but more often than not, they are inconsistent. They are seasoners. They do not have the commitment or dedication to pursue something all they way. I loved it! Cannot share with you the details of the talk. As in, i get after-life points if I share with you any form of knowledge that is benefitting, but time doesn't permit. Sorry, PW is just too important to ignore. Went looking for long pants after that, glad that I've found one that i really like. Yup. And found a pair of berms too. Must find jeans though. Later la, when I have more money.


Excerpts from the Talk by Dato' Dr. Mohd Fadzillah Kamsar:
"Apabila satu pintu rezeki kita ditutup, ketahuilah bahawa ada sembilan lagi pintu rezeki yang akan terbuka. Maka carilah."

"Kalau kita sentiasa mengejar dunia, dunia akan meninggalkan kita, sehingga kita yang ketinggalan. Kalau kita sentiasa mengejar akhirat, dunia pula yang mengejar kita."

"Maafkan orang, berdoa, membaca Quran, berzikir, meminta ampun, sembahyang sunat dan lain-lain lagi merupakan cara-cara membuka pintu rezeki."

"Competition is actually a form of misguided concept. Muslims have to bear in mind that whatever is given to them comes from Allah. They already have their own portion that is pre-determined by Allah. It is pointless therefore to 'compete' for other's portion. We should focus instead on getting as much as we can from our own portion."

Any queries? feel free to approach moi! :)
