TAKBIR HARI RAYA PENUH

Happy Eid-ul-Adha to Muslims the world over!

Selamat Berwukuf buat tetamu-tetamu Allah and Happy Thanksgiving to all!

today is 9 Zulhijjah 1430 - the day when pilgrims make their way to the plain of Arafah and Mount Rahmah for wukuf at noon. failure to be present in the plain of Arafah today invalidates the pilgrimage. many pilgrims stay here all night in vigil.

it's Thanksgiving Day in the US!

STUDIO 23's Dinner & Dance Rocked The BCCK!!!

Albert & Serina, Congratulations! Saturday night's a tremendous success. Not bad for a first ever annual dinner. The venue, the performers who were involved in solo and group performances, the food, the attendees, the outfits - we sure did know how to have fun and not afraid of doing just so, didn't we? :-)

you'd be 23 today, Allahyarhamah Adhe Ellis Kurnia Prasanti...

Allahyarhamah (seated, 3rd from right) my with fellow coursemates and Hajah Maznah Arshad.

she'd left this world of His in mid-February. i was there at her funeral, for i didn't get the chance to visit her whilst she was fighting for her life after a tragic road accident.

i miss her innocence, will to learn, independence, friendliness, love towards those who love her and of course, her smile.

Al-Fatihah to you, my little sister...happy 23rd birthday.

i hate missing my friends' weddings!!!

1) weddings of friends I've known since my primary and secondary schools

Rahiza, with husband - Aimran

Aina, with husband - Hamfatullah

2) weddings of friends I've known since my Pre-Law days

Ed, with wife - Ezzy

Umar, with wife - Mazlina

3) weddings of friends I've known since my Mass Comm days

Tania, with husband - Azril, and (L to R) - Ezza, Ayuni, Iylia, Zeni and Nisak

Mel, with husband - Mohammad

Nissa, with husband - Khairil

these were weddings which I was privileged enough to attend

Reen (Pre-Law), with husband - Khai, and Ailin (on Reen's right - whose wedding I too had missed)

Mashur (both primary and secondary schools), with wife - Rohaizah

we win some and sometimes we lose some. I hope I won't be missing weddings which I'd be invited to anymore. some people would say..."No big deal, it's just a wedding". however, when someone sends me his/her invitation, I am honoured for I am remembered. No one would invite someone whom he/she feels not important, no? PARDON ME for being syok sendiri, but I believe I have left a huge impression in their lives.

hhmm...
