Hey there! Sorry for not blogging for so long! '^_^ I was online but I had no idea what to write. Now its really hard to concentrate coz of chibi Miku(volcaloid) shimejis running around the my laptop screen :P But its fun throwing them around >xP Haha,only otakus know what I'm talking about xP Anyway,here's some of the pics I took at Singapore: Enjoy!
Universal Studios:
Hey,hey! Guess where I am now? Singapore,baby! Yeah,I know what I said on my last post. It was only postponed,not canceled. I went on Sunday instead of Saturday. On Saturday I went to Sunway Lagoon with my cousin and her friends.We had loadsa fun :) Anyway,I'll be going home today. I stayed at my aunt's house these four days in Singapore. On the second day I went to Universal Studios. Yeah,it was fun. The only bad part was that whenever you wanna go on a ride,you had to wait for what seems like forever. Literally. It's like one hour for one minute '=.= Universal Studios is kinda like Disneyland. Only with different characters and so on. The Waterworld show and the Lights,Camera,Action! was interesting. Yesterday I went to the Science Center and at night I went to the Night Safari. And..yeah. Thats all,I guess.
Only 8 more days left in 2010..wow,time flies so fast! I'm 12 today :) 22 Dec... Happy Birthday to me xD lol
Can't wait till next year >v< Orientation is on 31st Dec. Kayh,thats all for now ;)

Hey there :) Kinda sad to see no new posts in any of my friends' blogs :( Makes me feel left out,juz coz I don't have facebook and so on x( Oh,well. Maybe they're on a holiday or something. Which reminds me,sad to say,I'm not going to Singapore tomorrow :( Bcoz my grandfather had to do an operation and now he's still recovering so..yeah. I mean,if we go to Singapore,what if something happens to him? It'd be easier if we just stay here,rite? Yeah,but so what if I don't get to go to Singapore tomorrow? I could always go next year. Anyway,Malaysia has lots of attractions to offer :) Well,my visitor counter has reached 1000+ but I feel like nobody is actually going to my blog/reading my post :( Hey,am I talking to myself here? Do be so kind to leave to leave a comment or two in the cbox so that I know people actually DO come here :) Thanks. Haha,what was that for? RAMDOM ! xP

Hi there and assalamuaalaikum to the muslims. The 5 days at the youth camp was kinda tiring but it certainly changed my life :) Still it was really fun :) It was the most expensive camp I've ever been to,more than 200 ringgit! But it was worth it :) First,let me tell you about the activities there.Oh,and I almost forgot,the youth camp is an Islamic camp that follows the quran,sunnah and hadith of the prophet Muhammad s.a.w.But its international so its in English. The youth camp's theme is;Here for the Hereafter.I arrived at Al-Khaadem at about 8.40 am and registered with my mum. My cousins( Alia,Asila n Adli) were already there. Loads of people signed up for the camp,about 200 people.The boys were in bus 1,2,3 while the girls were in bus 4 and 5(more boys than girls).I was in bus 4,sat with asila. Alia was in front of us. Nurin,Iman and lots of the people I know were there too,since they come almost every year. Nurin,Iman and Azraa are already Sri Amanians so we'll see each other next year but not much coz they're older than me. Anyway,took more than 4 hours to get to the Lumut jeti,rode a feri,then took a van to Raudhah Camp in Pulau Pangkor. The sea there was really breathtaking,subahanallah. The dorms..well.. :s the toilets teruk giler :P but you had to get used to it.Plus,people from Al-Khaadem( participants and facilitators) are really friendly and they don't really group themselves and ignore other people which I really hate >:( They follow the true muslim way :) We are all brothers and sisters in islam :) Anyway,I think have more confidence after entering the camp. We had to do presentations in groups and usually I'm the one that has to speak with the MICROPHONE in front of the sisters. Its worst on the last day and the second last day,where we had to talk in front of the sisters AND the brothers! But suprisingly,I feel fine. A bit nervous at first but as I began to speak,I feel fine,alhamdulillah. Anyway,on the first night,we slept at 3 am coz of the night walk. It was different than the nightwalks I've been to coz you don't go in a single file in the forest,they lepaskan sorang2 and we have to follow the rope that they tied from tree to tree. When it was my turn,I felt scared walking in the dark forest alone so I zikir and recite the suratull qursi. After that,I felt calmer coz I know that Allah is always with me.But only the girls got to do the nightwalk sbb tak sempat for the boys. Anyway,it'll take days for me to explain everything so I'll just summarise everything quickly. The dining hall and the toilets and dorms for the boys and girls are in different places and thats the way its supposed to be in islam.They had a screen seperating these two places. The groups are also not mixed boys and girls.And only some of the activities were mixed such as praying jama' qasar together and such while the rest are seperate. Then,next day,after praying fajar,we jogged to the beach and back and yes,it was tiring coz the beach is quite far from the camp. Then,there was jungle trekking(and yes,I got pacated :P) for sisters and water combo for brothers. Then there was a telematch(seperate) and then at night we had to act out a play about stories of the time of prophet Muhammad s.a.w. But the boys and girls were in seperate halls for this activity. Then Ustaz Hussain Yee arrived and he gave a quick tazkirah. On the third day,it was raining in the morning so we had to pray in our dorms. Then,it was water combo for sisters,which was kayaking and snorkeling in the ocean and jungle trekking for the brothers.We kayaked to an island and we prayed jama' qasar on the island's beach. No surau,no sajjadah,on the bare sand with our shoes on.Thats the beauty of islam,you can worship Allah where ever you are.Then we went snorkeling in the ocean.Pastu we went back to Pangkor with a boat.Then,there was a solat course given by Ustaz Hussain Yee(boys and girls same hall).And then,at night,comes the interesting part. We were blindfolded and in groups of seven,they took us to a place,and when we were there, they took us one by one away from the line and told us to sit down. After a while,they told us to moved a bit to the front(while sitting). And when I did,the ground below my feet disapeared and I know there's a hole there. My heart was pounding and I'm still blindfolded so I didnt know what to expect. Pastu,they put us in the hole and told us to lie down. It was quite deep,the hole. About two meters underground. I was so scared,I wanted to cry but my fear chocked me and I couldn't say anything. Then,the facilitator wrapped my body (losely) in a white cloth so I couldn't get out. Then,when she opened the blindfold,I was so shocked to find myself in a grave! My heart pounded like mad and the faci knew I was scared so she soothed me and said everything is gonna be fine. She also told me to zikir and recite the suratull qursi and told me to think about the situation. She climbed out of the hole and left me alone. At first,I was scared so I zikir.And then I noticed the night sky full of stars and it made me think,what if I'm really dead,in the grave? Is the ibadah I've done in my short life enough to save me from hell fire? What if its not enough? What am I gonna answer to Allah on the day of judgement? But then,I know I'm not really dead,its just a trial! I have a second chance! I can get out and increase my ibadah! Coz this world isn't my permanent home,the hereafter is! That night totally changed my life. I mean,how many people have the chance to go into the grave twice? They left us in there for abut 15 minutes then they took us out and we headed back to camp.We only got like-an hour of sleep then we had to wake up for fajar the next day. But they let us sleep again after fajar till nine am. Then,we headed to the beach but this time it was both boys and girls. We rode a boat to an island,prayed on the island's beach,ate lunch then Ustaz Hussain Yee gave a short tazkirah on the island. To get back to Pangkor,we had to water raft back!One group on each raft.That requires alot of teamwork. Even though it was REALLY tiring and took almost 45 minutes to water raft back,it was really fun. We arrived at the beach forth last but it was okay. We still beat a group of boys. Who says girls aren't tough,huh >;D? Anyway,after that,there was a Solving life problems module then we had barbecue then we slept.At 12 midnight :P On the last day,it was raining in the morning so we had to pray in our dorms. Then,we had to present something about the 5 days we were in the camp. Some did plays,speech,nasyid and poems.But some were really funny :) Then we exchanged phone numbers,email address and also fb name for those who has.After that,there was a closing ceremony pastu ada group photo then prayers,then depart to jeti. We boarded the ferry and road the bus to Al-Khaadem. We reached there at about 12 midnight. I kinda missed my parents coz I havent seen them for 5 days. But after the 5 days,I'm alright. Despite the fact that I've been sunburnt,sleep deprived and tired :P. But I am SO going next year :) Insyaallah~

Pink pattern. Yeah,I know,pink. But its a nice pattern. Had to use my money for the skin =.= But its okay,my parents already bought me the laptop and I'm really thankful :) But even if they didn't buy me a laptop,I'd still be thankful coz they provide me with love,shelter,food and stuff :) Hey,why am I getting so mushy for??

Hello again :) Sorry for not writing in here since November :P Come to think of it, its not that long ago.. its just that I'm really busy these days. On first December, I went to a three day school holiday program called 'Explorer Science' organized by The New Straight Times paper. It was really fun and exciting doing cool experiments. And since I was the oldest in my group(and probably the oldest participant in the program xP), I was the team leader xP. But seriously,it was reallyx3 fun. Totally DA BOMB! xD I loved it. At first when my dad wanted to sign me up for the program,I said that didn't really want to. Not that I don't like science..in fact,I love it especially if it involves doing cool experiments :) Its just that- I don't know what to expect..I mean,meeting new people,getting used to the new scenery..and so on. So on the first day,I was really nervous. But it turned out really fun and I made loadsa friends there. We did some really cool experiments.I loved it all but the best was making our own ice cream!!! ^v^ We hatta work in pairs so I teamed up with this girl from my group, Ashreet. We made vanilla flavoured ice cream( but it tasted more like milk flavour coz we didn't add enough flavouring xP) But still,it was DELISH! It turns out u don't need a fridge or a freezer to make home-made ice cream,u just need stuff you can find in the kitchen! Ziplock bag,ice cubes,salt,milk,flavouring,sugar and newspaper(which we had no problem of producing that item since we are in the building of a newspaper press xD). It was SO cool! Oh,yeah,and the really cool thing was, I was in yesterdays paper( The New Straight Times,pg 28, article:'A Fun Way To Learn Science')!!! Well,not really,the picture in the newspaper only showed half of the class,I was in the other half. But my bottle was! xP So famous my bottle :P Anyway,I'm really excited coz next week I'm going to the Al-Khadeem Youth Camp at Pulau Pangkor! xD I can't wait! See ya soon,bye!
