Never give up and have faith!
Dear the future of Minai & Mikai,
There are going to be days when you won’t have the energy or drive to get out of bed. There are going to be days when you’re going to want to give up – give up on love, life, or school. The thing is, you’re not allowed to give up. You were given a life and you’re supposed to live it. The truth is the seventy or eighty years that you’re given isn't long enough to do the things you’re supposed to do. Sure, you’re gonna hit a few bumps along the way, but you've got to pick yourself up and move on. Life is unpredictable and things might not always work out the way you want them to, but that’s no reason to give up. You’re here for a reason and someday when you’re not expecting it, you’re going to discover your reason for being here. And when that does happen, your life will never be the same again.
We know what it’s like to be so mad, you go into this blind rage and don’t even remember what you said or did. We know what it’s like to be so heartbroken, you can’t even look at yourself in the mirror without bursting into tears. We know what it’s like to have so many bad things happen to you, you start to lose faith in everything. However, we also know times of pure joy and happiness. And if we can just keep our mind set on those, we know we’ll make it through all of the hard times. And maybe, just maybe, we’ll be able to find the faith we thought we had lost forever.
Just remember that your life may not be going the way you planned it, but it is going exactly the way Allah planned it.
Sincerely from, the current of Minai & Mikai.

TESL Interview Exprience
Assalammualaikum guys and girls.
Woaa I was really influenced with Hanbyul's opening style. Yeah cos I put the 'girls' after the 'guys'. Well, he's catching my attention recently. Sorry I forgot to inform you all, this is me, Mikai.
In this post, I would love to share my experience attending the Foundation in TESL interview that was held yesterday [April 28, 2013] at UiTM Shah Alam Section 17 which is likely to be known as INTEC (International Education College).
Yesterday, I woke up exactly 6 am and took my shower right away. Then, after I did my prayer, around 7.15 am we drove off to INTEC. My parents, my twin(Minai) and younger brother accompanied me on that one of my important day in my life. I'm really grateful to possess them as my family. Thanks to Allah.
At 7.50 am we reached the venue. My heart was pounding really hard as I was so nervous to face the other candidates. But my nervousness was reduced as I realized my name was on the list. I was in Panel 5 No.16.
Before we, the candidates, were able to be interviewed, we have to sit for a written test at 8.30am. While waiting for the written test to be started, my family and I sat on a bench in front of the library where I need to sit for the written test. There was 2 section for the written test. Section A & Section B. Section A was the comprehension test alike the SPM's one but the paragraph was a bit longer. They used lots of bombastic words that I rarely heard or read off. However, I could smoothly understand all of the passages. Alhamdulillah, Allah let my mind free and helped me to think more deeply. Then, after read the long paragraph, there were 15 objective questions I need to answer. CAUTION: The questions were a bit tricky! And simple. For the section B, I need to write an essay with approximately 250 words about 'What was your most meaningful achievement and how it may help you for your future goal.' I was so grateful because I've asked my twitter's friend what is the topic for the essay as they attended the 1st day of the interview which was on Saturday. Again, Alhamduillah the question was the same and I've prepared the answer the day before. May Allah bless all of the twitterians who had told me this.
The written test ended approximately at 9.30 am. Then, every panel had to follow the staff to the interview room. Before we are able to enter the interview room when it has come our turn, we must arrange our certificates according to the order list pasted on the interview's room door. There, I met with other candidates that were along in Panel 5. At first, I was kinda shy and a bit awkward to approach them. But, as time passed, they make me comfortable being around them. We talked and talked and laughed. And the conversation continued till my turn to be interviewed.
One by one of the candidate enter the room after the interviewers in the room rang the bell. My turn was the fifth last and I was able to enter the interview room at 12.00pm. Oh yeah, it was raining before I entered the room! I was like, Alhamdulillah, because a day before yesterday I was really hoping it will rain before my turn to be interviewed. Alhamdulillah again because Allah heard my prayers.
There's two interviewers who interviewed me. I think both of them are the lecturer for this TESL program. Below are the conversation between the interviewers and me.
Me: Mikai
Int1: Interviewer 1
Int2: Interviewer 2
Me: Assalammualaikum and Good Afternoon. *I smile brightly while handling my file to them*
Int2: Good Afternoon. *smile back*
Int1: Have your seat.
Me: Thank you.
Int1: You may put your bag down.
Me: Okay.
Int1: Okay, now introduce us about yourself.
Me: First of all, my full name is ......Syafeqah bt ..........*sorry I can't write my full name here* and I was born on 11 November 1995. I studied at SMK BUD2. My family consist of 8 members. And I have a twin! *My spirit increased drastically as I said I have a twin ^^ *
Int2: Oh you have a twin? So, is she here today?
Me: Yeah, she accompany me today.
Int2: She didn't apply TESL?
Me: No, she's not.
Int2: Then, what course did she applied?
Me: She applied for Foundation in Engineering.
Int2: Oh, does her result was better than you?
Me: Hurmm...that's for sure. *sobs*
Int2: That's okay.
Me: *Can't stop smiling brightly*
Int1: Okay, tell us more about yourself.
Me: I've attended
Japanese and Korean languages course before at ICLS Damansara. I studied
Japanese till Intermediate 2 level while till Beginner 2 level for Korean. My
life vision is ‘In order for things to change, we must see them as we want them
to be; not just as they are’.
Int1: So, your school is a special school that offer language programme?
Me: No, I took the languages course outside the school.
Int1: On your own?
Me: Yes, on my own.
Int2: That's really great. Can you speak Japanese and Korean a little bit for us?
Me: Yeah, sure! *My spirit again increased up* こんにちわ、私はシャフェカです。でも、 家族と仲間はミカイと呼んでいます。日本語と韓国語を話す事出来ます。このプログラムは本当にを入力したいんですから、応援宜しくおねがいします。 *It means: Hello, my name is Syafeqah. But, my family and friends call me Mikai. I am able to speak in Japanese and Korean language. And I really want to enter this program. So, please support me.*
Int2: How about Korean?
Me: 안녕하세요. 저는 샤피카 입니다. 내 생일 11 월 11 일입니다. 저는 일본과 한국의 언어로 말할 수 있습니다.감사합니다. * It means: Hello, my name is Syafeqah. My birth date is on November 11. I am able to speak in Japanese and Korean languages. Thank you.*
Int1: Wow, that's great. Please ask me 'Ogenki desuka?'. *She was really excited asking me to ask her a question in Japanese*
Me: Ogenkidesuka?
Int1: Genki desu. Hahaha Thank you for asking me.
Me: *I just smile*
Int1: Well, at least now we acknowledge you as someone who can speak multilingual. That's really give you more advantage.
Me: Thank you.
Int1: Unfortunately, today we are not interviewing you in Japanese or Korean. We have to conduct this interview in English.
Me: Hahaha..I know that.
Int2: Can you tell us TESL is your first choice?
Me: Yes, TESL is my first choice.
Int1&
Int2: *nodded*
Int1: Are there any other programs you applied?
Me: Yes, there are. Other than TESL, I applied for Foundation in English at UIA(Universiti Islam Antarabangsa = International Islamic University Malaysia).
Int1: Why do you choose TESL?
Me: I choose TESL
because I want to reinforce my leadership, communication, organisational and
presentation skills in English. Besides, I do have
interest in teaching other people regardless of adult or even children.
Int2: That's really good!
Int1: Okay, how do you try to improve your English?
Me: I like listening to English radio fm. I think I improve my English by listening.
Int1: What will you rank your English proficiency from 1 to 10?
Me: I have to say 5 or 6.
Int1: Really?? Why you ranked your English proficiency 5 or 6? You think your English isn't really good??
Me: I'm weak at grammar and vocabulary. I need more guidance and improvisation on my ability in English. That is why I choose TESL in order to gain more knowledge of teaching English. I believe with this word ‘When there’s a will, there’s a way’.
Int1&Int2: *Both just smiling*
Int1: Okay, that's all for today. Thank you for spending your time for us.
Int1: Arigatou gozaimasu! Hehe
Me: Douitashimashite.
Int2: You got everything
Me: *Stood up and take my files back from the Int2* Thank you so much!
That were my conversations with the fellow interviewers. It took me 20 minutes for the interview. But, I don't really get what was the meaning of the Interviewer 2 that 'I got everything'. Was that a good sign for me?? If it really is, Alhamdulillah. I really hope they were impressed about my performance during the interview.
I stepped out from the interview room with a big and bright smile. The friends I met there, asked me what was the question, were the interviewers kind and more. All I can say is the interviewers were really supportive and kind. May Allah bless them too. I really really hope I will be chosen for this TESL program. Pray for my successes guys and girls!!
For the upcoming candidates who will be chosen for the TESL interview, let me give you some tips.
1- Arrange your certificates according to the list they listed on the interview offer letter.
2- Photostat all of your certificates and placed the photocopy certificates in an envelope separate from your real certificates.
3- Make sure get your photocopy certificates has been certified by your Village Chief, Head of Residential Area, School Principal OR the Minister of Education in order to not bring any complication during your interview.
4- Prepare your own Q&A's that you think might been asked by the interviewers such as:
~Tell me about yourself / family background?
~Explain what is TESL?
~Why do you choose TESL?
~What is your hobby?
~What would you like to do when you are free?
~What co-curricular activities you take part in your previous school?
~Do you know Malaysian people are hard to change? Explain?
~What do you understand about leadership?
~Why do you want to be an English teacher?
~Do you like teaching?
~Do you like reading?
~What changes you want to make when you become a teacher?
~What is the biggest obstacle you have might face and how do you overcome them to ensure students are receiving a quality education?
~What conditions must change in your country to better support education?
~What is your favorite book?
~What kind of book do you read?
~What is the latest book that you've read?
~What educational “trend” do you think is helping students? Is
there a trend that is getting in the way of learning?
~What is the latest current issue you know?
~What is the latest education news you have read?
I think the questions listed above are more than enough if you wanna practice to answer before the interview day. Remember, if you ever wanna says something like 'I've studied Japanese/Korean/French/Germany' or 'I've take part in Coral Speaking contest in school' please provide proofs which is the certificates to strengthen your words that you said later.
All the best for those who read this post and will be having their interview in the next following years.
Thank you for spending your time.

Disappointment lead to Happiness
Assalamualaikum
It's me Minai here writing the dilemma I'm facing rite now. The dreams I possessed somehow had grows further away from me. One by one, my hopes had broken into pieces. Yeah, I faced those disappointment but I accept it with an open heart as I believe everything happened for reasons. If Allah wills it, then it will be. If He's not, then it wouldn't be tho how hard I insists of grabbing and work for it. I had planned my future perfectly, precisely, accurately yet it had been distinguish slowly, deeply. Maybe for Allah, it wasn't the best for me. It would be a super lie if I said I didn't even felt the frustration bout it but there's nothing I can do to change what had been written for me. As the image above, disappointments are just God's way of saying "I've got something better". Maybe what I've planned weren't the best for me or precisely aren't the best for my religion. I believe somethings better are waiting for me ahead tho I don't know what it is or what it will be.
I believe it’s not that everything will be easy or exactly as I had expected, but I must just choose to be grateful for all that I have, and happy that I still got a chance to live this life, no matter how it turns out. Starting from that point of failures, I promise to myself that I won’t let yesterday’s troubles bring me down or allow me to question my ability. I won’t let that life’s little obstacles keep me from trying or become the reason for defeat. I won’t let my fears keep me from dreaming or from chasing my dreams. I won’t give up for any reason because I believe in myself, and in myself, I’ll find the strength.
I won't dwell on the past. My history can't be erased, but my future has yet to be written. I will make the most of what's going to happen instead of worrying about what I can't change. I won't waste my time being sad, because I am wasting away moments in which I could be happy. It's taken me awhile, but I'm learning that letting go of the past is a good thing. It doesn't mean forgetting, it just means moving on. And I can't enjoy the present when I'm still stuck in the past. I won't cry for what might had been, won't live in the past anymore. It was supposed to be forever? Well, forever doesn't always lasts. I will lift my head up and dry my tears and forget about yesterday. I had the time of my life, but I must move on and let it faded away.
I will never ever lose my hopes and dreams. I refuse to. No matter the odds, no matter what happens, it's still my choice, my decision, my power, to hold onto the faith in what I believe to be true. That's the one thing that can never be taken from me unless I allow it. Japan and Todai will always and forever be my aim and goal no matter how many obstacles I might face to reach it. Maybe for the time being, they are not meant for me for some reasons but they will forever be my dreams. I will keep trying, hold on and always, always believe in myself because if it's not me, who will? I realize that Allah allows me to experience the low point of life in order to teach me lessons that I could learn in no other way.
I would love to make acquaintanceship but somehow it is something I hate the most especially the short one. I admit, somehow I gave them hope that I will meet them but I never thought that things will went this way farther than I had expected. I'm afraid that they couldn't accept it and have the wrong assumption of me. It's not my intention to play around or just had the fun being an acquaintance of them. If possible, I want the relationship getting deeper and more meaningful but I had no choice other than accepting what Allah had planned for me. Honestly, I am so depressed to hide the truth and at the same time afraid of disappointing them. All I can do is just pray that they will accept it with open hearts and still can accept me to be their friends. I hope this relationship won't end the moment they know the truth. Ya Allah, soften their hearts to accept it.
And yes, Allah hears my prayers. They accept it with open hearts. Of course they felt the little disappointment but their hearts are so decent that not the disappointment they expressed but they gave me the words of encouragement. They told me not to give up on my dreams and said "As long as you keep forward, there is always a chance". "Somethings better are waiting for you ahead". There're more. Only Allah knows how much those words really encourage me deeply, I really really appreciate that. How devastated I was not to be called as their 'kouhai' yet they still consider me as one of their 'kouhai'. Although AAJ will only left me as a memories, the 'senpai' who I never met there, I'll remember you forever. May Allah enrich them with successful life and plenty of happiness ahead in this world and next. I could not repay them for what that they had given me but I promise that I won't give up on Japan and will meet them one fine day in Japan. Ameen. In Shaa Allah.
"Have faith and never give up"

Upcoming interview
Assalammualaikum and Hello guys and girls.
This post gonna be written by me, Mikai.
It's been a long time since last month for me and Minai didn't write any post on this blog of ours. However, starting from today we'll try to write more posts. So, this time I would like to inform you guys, the reader that I've been called yesterday
to go for an interview this 28th April at UiTM Shah Alam Seksyen 17. It is for TESL interview!! One of my dream has come true which is to be chosen for the TESL interview.
For your information, TESL is Teaching English as Second Language. Alhamdulillah was the only word came out from my mouth. I was so grateful that my name is shortlisted for the interview. This is all the sustenance from The Almighty Allah. Again, Alhamdulillah.
I choose TESL because I want to reinforce my leadership, communication, organisational and presentation skills. Hence, English is the
worldwide spoken language. I think English is an exciting language as I've been
exposed to this language since I was a child. Furthermore, I want to improve my speaking skill as I've been dreaming of having an Australian accent instead of American's or the British accents. Weird isn't it?
Okay back to the topic. From what I've read from some bloggers about this interview, there'll be a written test which is 15 questions of comprehension and an essay (about 250 words) alike the SPM English questions but a little bit hard, I guess. Hopefully it will not be that hard as said by the past years candidates. However, its been a while since the last time I wrote essays. But let's let just hope my ability for writing essays still functioning. In Shaa Allah. Then after the written test, the candidates will be queued for an individual interview. There'll be 2 or 3 interviewers who will interview all of the candidates. Some had said the interviewers are the lecturer who gonna teach us later at the university.
Honestly, I'm not really nervous or even scared to be interviewed but I'm kinda worry of the written test. I'm afraid my mind gonna be blank. No, I'm not gonna be blank. I'll try to be prepared before this Sunday comes. I believe with all of the experiences being interviewed for thrice before can help me this time. In Shaa Allah.
I've started practicing on how to answer questions that might be questioned this Sunday. Wish me all the best for the interview! I'll do my very best!
Remember, that Allah will always be with those who remember Him

Another [Vacanture] after almost a year!
This weekend is the most of all the weekend we've been waiting for after April 2012, last year. This is because for once more we'll be having our 2nd Vacanture with our super lovely cousins. (For your information, [Vacanture] means [Vacation] + [Adventure]. All of us, the cousins, gave the name because we are going on an adventure on a vacation.)
Last year Vacanture went really well and all of us had so much fun. We had our 1st in Taman Negara. If you haven't read our post about it, you can read the report
HERE.
This weekend we'll do various activities at various places. We'll start our 2nd Vacanture this Saturday at [FRIM]. Then, we'll be going to [Asian Water Sports Village Puchong]. The next day, we'll do more vigorous activities than the day before at [Gua Damai Extreme Park].
That's all for today! Wait for our report about our 2nd Vacanture soon!

Keep the faith...
Assalamualaikum...
We are glad we are given another chance to inhale oxygen provided by Allah for us. Alhamdulillah.
That's mean there's still purposes for us to be alive. Yes, there are lots of mission that we need to accomplish.
For this moment, even before we reach our dreams yet, lots of conjecture happens to us that we are hardly to express into this lovely blog of ours due to some privacy. However, in order to get something to be done, thousands of test will be given to us by Allah. Whatever tests thrown to us, we wanna accept it with an open heart without any complaint or even grumbling because we believe everything happens for reasons that will teach us lessons to be able to go through the obstacles that we might face in the upcoming days.
Ya Allah, we are only the normal human which possess lots of weakness. And we know, not everything we wished and hoped for will come true. Thus, please give us strength to let go and entrust everything to You. We understand You won't allow us to be in pain for the sake of hurting but for the sake of learning. You know us more than we know ourselves that even we feel alone and unloved, there is still someone who knows all our flaws yet loves us unconditionally like no other human can.

Welcome to our Beginning Year!
Assalamualaikum...
We hope you, the one who read this post now, are in a very good condition since we need to get ourselves prepared for the new adventure rider that we necessarily have to face which are the new obstacle along with the new pattern of happiness to be attained in since we just reach the starting point of the year of 2013. You may check your computer date now if you still can't believe what we just said on the first words. Yeah, 2012 just left us behind with infinite excellent memories while 2013 just approaches us with a thousand hopes and wishes to be fulfilled.
Are you feeling woeful or delighted? Or both at the same time?
For us, we feel both of the emotions. We somehow can't let go the year of 2012 ever since it had brought a millions of treasure for us to be cherished in our next voyage for tomorrow's days. Just like what we had mentioned on our 2012 new year post earlier, we named our 2012 year as our 'Excellent Year' because we believe 2012 will brings lots of flamboyant remembrances into our lives. As we are in the last minute of 2012, we can gratefully say that most all of our wishes and hopes we listed on the same date last year had came true. All we can say is only one word which is Alhamdullilah.
We assure that what we have gained throughout this year has it's own wisdom to teach us. It was an excellent year being the students who did their Fantastic Best in the final examination (SPM) without any doubt that their dreams will come true with that enthusiasms. An excellent year to get the bond closer with our extended family. It seemed that 2012 is the year we met frequently compared to the past years. There were plenty of events we celebrate and spent together with the feeling of gratitude. We are so grateful to have them as our family who always encourage us to be successful persons.
There were our days filled with tummy aches and heartache and headache, there were days where things didn't go as we planned. Fortunately, we did go through that miserable days with faith by our sides. We just kept our chins up and our eyes focused on where we are going. We encourage each other and we wouldn't let other people bring us down. With one deep breath at a time, we moved through that day into another day with the courage given by the people around us. Sometimes, the insides of our heads were so light that words were like feathers but those are just temporary and we did overcome it with the bursting out jackpot.
This is a story about dwarfs and giants but it's gonna end just like David and Goliath. If we keep on our pace, we don't lag will E.Coyote cuz we're the road runner fast! And it goes, 1,2,3, action, this ain't a movie. We will coming out 100% raw, the true, the real us. Victim of conformity, pressed down on all fours, we will stand up fight back cos the world is ours to rules! We are ready for the incredible action, amazing action! Oh, there's no need to care about others because we're shining just the way we are. And we're ready for the incredible show for this 2013. It took us a lifetime preparations for this year to come cos this 2013 is our showtime! We'll show who we are so the world can be amazed!
Once again, we'll write our wishlist for our Beginning Year just like what we had did on our past years.
-Getting closer with Allah and our prophet Muhammad
-Do Umrah with our family as well as with our extended family(In Shaa Allah)
-Build more strong bond with our family and extended family
-Get straight A+ for our SPM
- Get any sponsorship or scholarship to further our studies to Japan.
- Minai get into AAJ
-Mikai get into KTJ
-Go for another trips with our beloved cousins
-Our families proud of our successful achievement
-JUMP year
Sadness turns into kindness when separation years for an encounter. Every time we experience these feelings, we wonder if it means we are becoming adults. What we believe, where it will take us to? Only we should know, we're facing towards the future. Life, we'll live even though we're struggling with these hearts known as 'us'. And the life, the cries of yesterday, the stillness of yesterday, they are all connected to tomorrow. If we open the door that is in front of us, a new beginning will begins. The painful times of our life, we know that they were important cos sadness and happiness really do go hand-in-hand, don't they? What we choose, where will it ferry us through? We're the one who will drive it in our own way.
InsyaAllah with Allah will, we will definitely get what we want as long as we do not forget about Him.

Memoirs of A Twin...
Assalammualaikum and hello guys!
Yeah, finally our long hiatus mode is off now. Although we've said we'll active back again on November 28th which was a day after our SPM was over, but there's a lot of thing we need to do after it. Moreover, Mikai was working on to edit our new blogskin. It took a week to edit the html and more. We changed our blogskin because we wanna show something new since we've start a new life after being high school students for 5 years. And now we're officially graduated from our high school.
Lot of things happened before and during the exams. One of thing that had happened before SPM was we went to BIGBANG Alive Tour 2012 at Stadium Merdeka on October 27th, 2012. That was the first concert ever that we've attended. And yeah, we will write the full report about the ticketing day and concert day in our next posts.
Regarding the last day of being high school students, sadness conquered our emotion more than the excitement. We were in sorrow not because we gonna left our friends, teachers or even the school itself, otherwise it was all about the memories of the only two of us, the loners for exactly 5 years in the school that we need to let go for the rest of our lives. As all of the readers of this blog that had followed us throughout the years we've been through since this blog of ours was launched(although we know they aren't but if there is, we would really appreciate your willingness to know more bout us), might know what kind of persons we were in our school lives. We were a bit kind of timid students in our class or accurately even in the whole school. We rarely socialized with the others. We just didn't know why. Maybe we were comfortable for being the only two of us living in our own world. We know if someone read this they gonna criticized us. But that who we were in the past. The rest of the stories let just be only the two of us keep it to our self that we gonna cherish in the future.
For us our school was the only place for the two of us.
~Futarigake no bashou~
One day, we said something about another world and suddenly wanted to be a grown up, and we laughed together. From the empty field in school to the street on the way home, everything was tied within the distance in this small world. And then a message from you came, a word and a letter "ganbaru" (do your best). We weren't able to reply your message instantly because we could only saw the sunshine that was fading away as time went by.
Even though you're looking for us tomorrow, there are only memories of us in the past. We want us to hold hands again like we used to in the past but all we can do now is looking at you from afar. Even though you're looking for us in the future, there will only be memories that shine. We understand you have to go but we beg you to stay by our sides even for a little bit longer to cheer us up. We can never get this, it's your life. The sky will soon turn into a night sky. And you can never get this cos it's our life. One day, definitely you'll understand.
In here we parted from you and even then, we weren't trying to chase you because there's a path there that we can never reached. "Did you find something in there?" we asked. If only at that time we were one step ahead, if only at that time we sent you a reply.When we remember about that time, there was a place where everything was only the two of us. In this empty street we're waiting for the morning to come.
We can never get this, it's your life.
You can never get this, our life.

HIATUS
Starting from today's onward, we'll be on hiatus from any social networking due to our packed schedule for our final exam, SPM. Although this hiatus doesn't bring any effect for us because we rarely update this blog, well at least maybe this is a small effort we'd done in order to achieve what we had planned. Otherwise, we'll be really regret if we do not get what we want in our lives.
For your information, SPM(Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia) or the Malaysian Certificate of Education is a national examination taken by all fifth-year secondary school students in Malaysia.SPM is our priority in our lives because the results determine where is our path after this.As we mentioned on the introduction, we target to get straight A+ in the exam. That's is the only way to be able to reach our dreamland. Pray for our success okay.
That's all for now. See you again in the next few months.
PS: Our hiatus mode will off exactly on November 28th. And again we'll be fully active after that. FULLY!

Malaysian National Service
First of all, we would like to express our feeling of gratitude for not being chosen for this National Service Programme 2013. Actually, the chances for one of us to be selected was 80% because we're twin. Most of the twins here in Malaysia, it is a guaranteed for one of them to be chosen. We're so grateful cos one of our prayers has been fulfilled. Alhamdulillah. With the sense of honesty, this programme will be so much of fun and most of the activities are something that we really interested to participate in. However, there're lot of things we had planned to do right after SPM is over. We believe there's always a wisdom beyond anything. Allah the Almighty knows what's the best for us. Thus, we must believe in Him.
For the information,
The National Service Training Programme, or Program Latihan Khidmat Negara (PLKN), is Malaysia's National Service program. The conscripts are 18-year-old youths that are selectively drafted. The three-month program act as the way to encourage friendship between youths of certain ages from different races and ethnic groups and address concerns that the country's various races were becoming increasingly isolated from one another.
It was first proposed in late 2001, brought to committee the following year, and was finally brought to action in 2003. Initially it was thought that all youths of a certain age would be drafted but later the numbers were restricted due to lack of resources. The program was also initially planned as a 2-year program, which was later reduced to a year, and then six months, and to its present three-month length. The issue of conscription has always been a sensitive political issue in Malaysia because of the ethnic divisions of the country. The rationale for National Service was to bond the youth of Malaysia together and create a Malaysian nation, as the problem of racial polarization was found to pervade educational institutions in Malaysia.
This programme holds up its objectivity to develop the trainees to be patriotic while being instilled with love and devotion for the country. Furthermore, this programme sees the imperious needs of trainees to go for some drilling activities en route to enhance unity among the multiracial communities in their daily life. Another way to look at it, Malaysian National Service's intention is to promote a generation that is obedient and loyal to the government.
For those who are selected, they must appreciate this one in life time experience cos they wouldn't experience it nowhere else. For us who are not being chosen also should be grateful that we'll have the opportunities to explore the outer world within that 3 months. Three of our friends were selected but they seemed not interested in this programme as they thought it is waste of joining it. All we can say towards them is " Enjoy it".
Never regret something that has written for us

Assalamualaikum Ramadhan
بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ اﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم
Alhamdulillah,
Ramadan has approaches us once more. We're very keen to welcome this holy month. InsyaAllah we we will take this opportunity to gain as much pahala as we can cos it only comes once a year and it will be a great lost if we don't do anything. Honestly, we are not a great Muslim but we're trying every single day to improve our self. We're hoping this Ramadhan will be better than last year.
The more we study Islam the more we understand it is a religion which aims to purify the heart of its adherents, and the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, Ramadhan, is when Muslims curb their desires, amplify their ibadah (acts of worship) and increase their reflection on life. Think of it as a month-long spiritual boot camp. We use the “boot camp” analogy because in order to “survive” Ramadhan a higher level of discipline is required to practise a higher degree of self-restraint, which is one of the aspects of being pious in Islam.
Basically, Ramadhan is the ninth month of the Islamic Lunar calendar. Every day during this month, Muslims around the world spend the daylight hours in a complete fast. During the blessed month of Ramadhan, Muslims all over the world abstain from food, drink, and other physical needs during the daylight hours. As a time to purify the soul, refocus attention on God, and practice self-sacrifice, Ramadan is much more than just not eating and drinking.
Muslims are called upon to use this month to re-evaluate their lives in light of Islamic guidance. We are to make peace with those who have wronged us, strengthen ties with family and friends, do away with bad habits essentially to clean up our lives, our thoughts, and our feelings. The Arabic word for "fasting" literally means "to refrain" - and it means not only refraining from food and drink, but from evil actions, thoughts, and words.
During Ramadhan, every part of the body must be restrained. The tongue must be restrained from backbiting and gossip. The eyes must restrain themselves from looking at unlawful things. The hand must not touch or take anything that does not belong to it. The ears must refrain from listening to idle talk or obscene words. The feet must refrain from going to sinful places. In such a way, every part of the body observes the fast.
Therefore, fasting is not merely physical, but is rather the total commitment of the person's body and soul to the spirit of the fast. Ramadhan is a time to practice self-restraint; a time to cleanse the body and soul from impurities and re-focus one's self on the worship of God. This great holy month is a priceless gift from Allah because He provides us a countless opportunities to purify our hearts. Ramadhan has taught us that without a heart which loves Allah S.W.T everything seems impossible but with a heart that is sincerely devoted to Allah S.W.T the impossible becomes possible, InsyaAllah.
We would like to take this opportunity to wish Ramadhan Karrem to every Muslimin and Muslimat wherever you are in this world. Fasting and at the same time performing Ibadah should be fun and cleansing our soul. It's also strengthen our relationship with Allah the Almighty.
Amin

Life as it is..
I've always heard people complain that life’s unfair. I know it’s true, but I’m actually trying to grasp the concept that life really isn’t fair. Honestly, it’s too fair. We should be grateful we’re not dealt the life we truly deserve. We don’t even know fair. We’ve never even experienced it. People just always want things better than what they have at the time and they will keep saying it’s not fair until they get it. But if I always wanting more, then my “fair” will never come.
If I wanna talk about life, it will be never ending story cos the content is infinity. I know that life is going to throw me so many obstacles to overcome. Some are going to be easier than others, some will leave me happy and some will kill me deep inside. But no matter what happens in the end, it’ll always bring along more and more obstacles to face. All I can do is just to stand tall, hold my head high and just take whatever life brings to me. I will follow the flow of life as I can’t predict what will happen next and I can’t change the past. As I go through it, I will grab it and learn how to overcome and improve the way it should be.
The main thing I learned is if I am not willing to put up with a little pain, I won’t go far enough. With every journey, even though I might induce scratches and bruises, it will be worth it if I don’t notice them because I take the pain in the beautiful way.‘No pain No gain’. The main important thing is I shouldn’t bitter over life’s disappointments. I believe everything happen for a reason. Thus, I will let go the past and recognize that everyday won’t be sunny and I have to prepare myself physically and mentally to face every single day. When I find myself lost in the darkness of despair, only prayers and Al-Quran will be my companion cos it is the brightest star that will lead me back home.
Confusion that has always haunted me will just disappear overnight by following the guidance of my life. I can’t deny that somehow that confusion really hurts so badly sometimes. Sometimes it feels like I am being thrown into a train track, but the train only hits my heart. Continuously. Over and over again without any failure. Maybe it’s because my heart’s too weak. I was losing to the whisper of Satan. Allah had promised that He will only give test that suit with our ability. Not more than that. Everything will be alright if we stay by faith. InsyaAllah I will always will.
The truth is, you can have anything you want, but you can’t have everything you want.

Begin Again
Life.
you can create your own reality
and make your dreams come true
it's really up to you
if you begin again.
As you all know to go through this world's life is damn hard. Although we've been living in this world for 17 years only, but there's a lot of things that had occurred either good or bad. We don't want to complain about what had happened in our life. In every second we have to be patient but if our patience have reach its limit, somehow we can't control it. Yeah, we're normal human being and are not perfect. There's still weaknesses inside these souls. Sometimes, in this life we have to accept every thought of opinion of others in order to make changes in ourselves. Otherwise, we will left behind by the others.
There's several things we learned to make a betterment in this lives.
In every single thing we do, we must have a thought that 'this is the first time I do this kind of thing' and be grateful that we've did it. One of the best things we can do in our lives is this : Begin Again.
Begin to remember what worked for you and what worked against you, and try to capture the magic again.
Begin to remember how natural it was when you were a child - to live a lifetime each day.
And begin to forget the baggage you have carried with you for years:
the problems that don't matter anymore, he tears that cried themselves a way;
and the worried that are going to wash away on the shore of tomorrow's new beginning.
Tomorrow tells us it will be here every new day of our lives and if we will be wise, we will be turn away from the problems of the past and give the future - and ourselves - a chance to become the best of friends.
Sometimes all it takes is a wish in the heart to let yourself......
Begin Again

Don't look down, Look forward & Let's walk.
Friends.That word expresses a thousand meaning beyond it. There are numerous definitions of ‘friend’ that the majority of us who still do not know the beautiful meaning of it. There are people who like to have many friends and mingle around with everybody. That’s a good advantage we possess if we have a lot of acquaintance. But to find a true friend, we need patience because we hardly to find them. They are people whom we turn to when our spirits need a lift. They are always by our side through good or bad times. They will stand firm beside us whenever our disposition is not perfectly right and will fight for us if we are oppressed. Therefore, there are excessive qualities for us to look for in a friend.
A friend is a person who believes in us when we have ceased to believe in ourselves. They will continuously give support and encourage us every single second of our lives. They will be interested to hear our problems no matter how big or complicated our problem may be. A friend should be able to stand beside us and encourage us to keep us look forward and never let us down. Friends are the one with whom we can share our darkest secrets without being worried of them being leaked because they are the one we whom we called friends. They can be trusted and they acknowledge our worst ideas and they even try to fulfil our silliest wish.
Besides, a friend is a person who is always there for us whether the times are good or bad. They are people whom we can count on when we need their advice or help. For sure they will never turn away from us. In fact, they will sincerely advise us for our betterment whether it hurts us or even pleases us. As a friend, we need to be open our heart to hear their advice and criticism for our own good. However, a friend is someone who can bring a smile on our faces when we are sad. A friend will be able to humour us. Humour plays a significant role in making our day livelier and more enjoyable. They are always there for us to laugh with us in happy times and to provide us with a shoulder to cry on and also to support us in times of trouble.
Furthermore, the reason why we need friends is because we need someone who will never leave our side. They accept us for who we are, where we are from and what we did as long as they love us. They do not come into our lives expecting us to change for them but they do correct us when we are at wrong. Moreover, a friend should be generous both emotionally and knowledge wise. A friend who is generous should be able to connect with us and provide emotional support. They also should be generous when it comes to sharing knowledge. A true friend must be ever-ready to help us when we are not efficient in certain subjects. A friend can easily guide us towards understanding the subject matter better as they are often on the same page as us.
Friends are people who are happy at our successes and sad at our failures because our friendship that had bonded tightly, make us share our feelings. They make our existence exist in their lives and make us feel that there is somebody who still cares. A friend should love us and care for us. With them at our side, they make us feel special and do not expect anything in return because they offer their sincere friendship and stay true to us throughout their lives.
As the conclusion, we need to thank our Creator for giving us someone who can support and understand us in everything we do. Thus, we should be grateful for having a true friend in our lives. We have to treasure and explore all the moment in our lives with the person whom we call as a ‘friend’ with a satisfaction because we do not want to regret it later.

Taman Negara Vacanture
(From left: Abiq, Im, Kak Dila, Ayie, Epi, Abang Boy, Fendi, Nai, Kai, Kak Ti, Kak De and Ninie)
With a blink of an eye, it has been about four weeks since that most unforgettable Vacanture. It is so hard for us to forget those fascinating memories. The moments with our lovely cousins. Those scenery keep on playing on the screen of our eyes till now. Somehow, we just can't believe our most wanted dreams had been fulfilled with our loved one. Went on an adventure in the forest and at the same time had an extraordinary vacation with them. How can we forget it so easily? Furthermore, what make us happier was they treated us as our age which not even once we had been treated that way by others. Others just treated us according to our physical. A small kid. Short for the age. But are those derision makes us down to earth? Exactly a big NO.
The story before the Vacanture began as follow;
At the beginning, nobody invited us to go on this Vacanture. They just invited our sis, Ninie. We thought it might be just for them who were not a school students anymore. Then it's fine. But then, our hearts kept on saying wanna go. As fate had written for us, our cousin, Epi invited us through Facebook. In order to go, we must get our Mummy's permission first. As we talked bout this matter, she just cut our lines and said NO. She said she didn't wanna talk about it anymore. We didn't dispute her words cos we understand what her thought was at that time. However, our enthusiasm didn't stop. Our enthusiasm of being with our cousins. We tried again by persuading her. Still, she with her stance.
Before that, at school, both of us had discussed bout how can we make her melt? Hahaha~ Then, something really useful popped out on our mind. As she always said to us, "Use your psychology skills in everything you do". We tried to manipulate her words back. We list down every reason that can make her think thrice. That night, we persuaded her. With a little sense of nervous, we pulled her into a 'drama' of our life.
She listened to every single of our reasons unsatisfactorily for its to end faster. We started with our story bout future. How we can be able to mix up with our cousins if we already further our studies abroad? As she already knew, we never had a friend to enjoy and share bout our life. At school, we are introvert kind of persons. Just silent with our own world. Nobody cares. Furthermore, how can she not allowing us to go with a group of people who can make us happy and smile? Yet, she had restricted us for not going on a vacation with our classmates this end of year. By all means, this Vacanture was something that we would love to participate. Besides, we are no longer a small kid who had no ability to think rationally. Moreover, she didn't allowed us to go for a school camp for plenteous of times. We asked her, "You don't wanna give us to experience bunches of happiness" with a torn tears of honesty. Well, that's the key. Since then, she didn't talk to us till the next afternoon. Before she gave her approval, we already could sense her answer. We told our cousins that we are going. As we expected, she agreed.
26th April
We didn't go to school for inevitable reason because we need to take the bus at 3pm. Our plan was at 5pm but by the fact that our sis, Ninie had bought the ticket at 3pm totally changed our plan. Just imagine, our school day ended at 2pm and what we thought was "did she expect us to go with our uniform on?". Well, that's just an instant thought. Definitely we were not regret with her action. Our mum sent us to the LRT station and the four of us made our way to Masjid Jamek station and transmitted to Pekeliling. Met Ninie's friend, Kak Husna who took the bus together with us. It took about 2 hours till we arrived in Temerloh.
We left our bags in the Scarf Shop as our aunt had went out. We were feeling rather peckish and thought we would slip in any cafe. Out of blue, we came across our besties cousin, Kak Long Mira( only 1 year older, but that's what we had called her since our childhood ). She said how fortunate she was meeting us. Miss her. Coincidentally, there were our favourite cafe nearby and we went in treated by sis to slap our meals. Half an hour then, our cousin, Fendi arrived and joined us. Half an hour later, we headed back to our aunt's house and took our bags. We didn't manage to get inside the house since we didn't want to burden Fendi cos he was the one who came to fetch us up to Wan's house. 6 persons in a car. As we arrived, the other participants still weren't there except for Kak Dila and Fendi.
Night came, one by one arrived but the guys were gone out for badminton. Yet, the girls were waiting for them to get back for the Vacanture discussion. However, they went back after we had our small little nap cos of the long-awaited appearance. It was 1am in the morning and we had to wake up for the discussion. All of 11 cousins gathered up at the veranda of the house except Ayie, who was on the way back from KL. However, not even a scruple of sleepiness conquer us cos being with all of them was the best moment that we hope wouldn't end. Though it was so cold, we still could withstand it with the warmness in our deepest heart. Whats make it more interesting, some of them were making jokes till our laughter could be heard across the reposeful road. What we were discussing about was about the passengers of a car, foods, what we gonna have for lunch tomorrow, who hasn't paid yet, who gonna in-charge for this and that and so many more. Everyone was teasing each other and that was so much fun of it. Eventually, we ended the discussion at 3.30am and everybody went to sleep.
27th April
Everyone was waking up rather late as planned and Abang Boy had to go to his work in early of the morning (He hadn't sleep since the discussion). Then, at 10am, everybody was getting ready without any breakfast. Crown it all, Kak De and some of the others went to town to withdraw money from the bank cos she's the one who in-charged to accumulate money from all of us. Some of us gathered up at the living room watching 'Super Spontan' while waiting for Abang Boy. As he returned, all of us ate a pinch of rice on a plate brought by Abiq from the dining.
Right after that, we put all the bags inside own car as discussed. Here's the placement:
Abang Boy's car: Epi, Fendi, Kak Ti
Abiq's car: Im, Nai, Ninie
Ayie's car: Kak Dila, Kak De, Kai
Started our journey to Taman Negara, Jerantut at 1pm (out of planned). All of the drivers were sprint the car up to 160km/h to chase our check-in time. Wow! That was crazy but awesome. Finally, arrived at our chalet and loaded our bags in the room. We were so lucky for having a very homely tour-guide, Abang Khairil who patiently waited for our arrival. After that, we went for 600m jungle trekking towards Lubuk Simpon. Minai was falling for plentiful of time but luckily had been helped by the others. After more than an hour, we finally arrived at Lubuk Simpon. All should dip in the river first, but since we all were starveling for not ingested any foods from morning, it was a requirement for us. Luckily both of us and Kak Ti had prepared sandwiches at home. The funniest was the four loaves of bread and scramble egg were inserted in a plastic bag separately. Then, the eggs were just poured onto the bread.
Had bathe in the river except for Kak Ti because she was little sick. Also, we had a game at first named Labu Labi but then the others changed it to Kentut Busuk. Who said it wrongly was eliminated one by one. Lastly just left Fendi, Nai and Epi and then Nai was somewhat dilatory in giving response, so the result, Fendi and Epi won the game. Then, other group turned up and the river flow started becoming swift and we had to step out. It was such a blithesome 2 hours times. Headed back to chalet and had to go through another trekking for 600m. Afterwards, there's two ways which was totally different. One was high and slippery while the other one was a narrow concrete 10m depth from below which had no safety guaranteed at all. However, it will be no fun if there's no adventure at all. So, 6 persons ( Ninie, Kai, Kak Ti, Abang Boy, Epi and Ayie ) went through the slippery and high way while the other 6 ( Kak De, Kak Dila, Nai, Fendi, Im and Abiq) went through the narrow concrete. Oh by the way, we were six girls and six guys. It was already 6pm when reached our chalet. We had time just until 8pm to go for dinner and for the next activity. We all had our jamak prayer and a short bath.
Promptly we gathered outside the chalet. Just with the guide of 6 torch-lights, we went down to the restaurant and had our dinner. The dishes were delicious! A minute later, Abg Khairil came and clarified our next activity, Night Jungle Walk!! Yeay! We all then walked side by side cos we had to share the torch-lights. Rode on a boat in the dark night was one of the most fascinating experiences. Fortunately, we saw two tapir on our way to the museum. As it was the first time to see tapir for the 12 of us, we didn't miss the opportunity to have a picture with 'them'. Furthermore, we were invited to go inside the small museum of Taman Negara and got some explanation bout the place we were in. Before we enter the night jungle, we made a circle and Abiq read several doa as our shield. We made our way into the forest. We observed every little insect that we saw and Abg Khairil elucidated more information about it. Somehow our fear towards the supernatural had fade away instantly as the others presence by our sides made us more serene. It was an amazing 3 hours! We could even got the chance to saw three deer from a far. Out of the forest at 11.30pm and everyone was exhausted.
Recommendation from our tour-guide, all of us made our way to a nearby stall for a light drink. We sat outdoor and started to talk about the day. As the drinks ordered arrived, the rain came by its sound first. With precipitant, we moved our tables indoor and the rain was rain drizzly. We ordered fried chickens and shared it with the person beside. Yeah, it was as fried as the KFC's. Luckily the girls brought the rain coat together but in contrast, the guys had to walk through the rain with plastic bag as their raincoat cos they hadn't brought their. By all means, ladies first. The night road was just lighted with neon light but without a torch-light, you wouldn't be able to watch your step. Reached room and had slumbered into dream.
28th April
The girls just had a few hours rest. Kak Dila woke all the other girls for Subuh Prayer at 6.30am. Ninie,Kak Dila, Kak De and Kak Ti didn't had their bath as the time went in the bathroom, there's no water supply but it was fortunate for both us who came in later, the water was 'back'. Furthermore, we couldn't withstand if we hadn't our morning neither afternoon bath. At 7am, Kak Dila and Kak De knocked the guys room for so many times but there's no response at all. Kak Dila began to get mad and knocked the door like a rife. Ninie had called Im thrice to open the door cos we gonna be late for the canopy walk but still no response. An hour later, they just got to open. The girls were just going straight to the restaurant for breakfast left the guys behind. As they arrived, Kak Dila was annoyed by their answer, "We thought it was the sound of the rain". Howsoever, we were already late bout 2 hours. All had their breakfast quickly. Though, Abg Khairil still be patient with our attitude. (^_^)
1.6+km jungle trekking to the canopy walk. Went through the muddy track was quite fun. 1 hour then we reached the pre-enter of the canopy walk. Wow! It was so crowded with the TM team and the tourists from all over the world. We sat on a bench while waiting for our turn. We waited for another one hour. As it was our turn, we climbed up a few steps of stairs and were given the information again by Abg Khairil. Queued up ranged from Abg Boy, Kak Dila, Ninie, Kai, Kak De, Abiq, Kak Ti, Nai, Fendi, Im, Ayie and Epi. Somehow, our group weren't really listened to the regulations cos only one person could walk every 10m. However, our group were walking closely till all of us could fit into one lane. That was so crazy. (^O^) The canopy walk was just about 300m far and it just took 20 minutes till the last station.
Headed back for another 1.6+km. We were walking slowly as Abg Khairil gave us information more about the herbs, plants and plenteous more. Had lunch and back to the room for some rest.
At 2pm, we gathered back at the jetty for rapid shooting. Our belongings were inserted in a plastic bag cos we were advised that we will definitely get wet for 110%. It was true, we got wet all over the body. It was such a beautiful and fun moments. All of their laughter will be our encouragement for tomorrow onward. 45 minutes until we reached our destination, the indigenous colony (Perkampungan Orang Asli). We were shown to their way of lives. Their history, 'sumpit', how to light up the flame using wood and so many more.
All 12 of us did try to 'sumpit' and it was the effective way to hunt animals. Then, a snacks-giving programme was held. As for information, the indigenous were so shy towards the visitors. Several photos were taken with the head of Orang Asli (Perpatih) and they said 'ok-oyla' which means 'I love you' we said it back as our appreciation. Rapid shoot again! Everyone was tired and went back to room at 5pm and slept till 8pm.
Again, with the guide of torchlight, we stride to the barbecue reserved for our group. The restaurant staff just prepared all the substances and materials and we grilled it by ourselves. While waiting, Epi played the guitar and several Malay and English songs. It was really a barbecue-like as we dreamt of.
At 11pm, we had nothing to do, so majority wanted to go for karaoke but the place was already closed. As the results, we went to a restaurant, quite far from the chalet. At first, only the girls rode on the car drove by Abiq to the restaurant and then Abiq dropped us and headed back to the guys to fetch them up. We just had a light-tea during that midnight and played UNO Game owned by Kak Ti. It was so hard to end the game. At 12.30am, Kai, Ayie, Im and Kak De went back early left the others. Our UNO ended at 1.30am. 8 persons rode on a car with Abiq as the driver, Epi and Fendi sat together in front while Nai, Kak Dila, Ninie, Kak Ti and Abang Boy on the back. It was great wasn't it? Once reached the chalet, everybody got into the room and slept tremendously.
29th April
Indeed all were sleeping deadly as we all woke up at 8.45am. By that time, we should had our breakfast but it wasn't our fault since nobody realized the time. Finished breakfast at 9.45am. Totally out of schedule. One boat was for 4 persons. So, we were divided to three. Fendi, Ninie, Kak Ti and Kak De on the first boat. Nai, Kak Dila, Epi and Abang Boy on the second while Im, Kai, Abiq and Ayie on the third boat. 45 minutes on the boat across the rapid. What such a beautiful scenery we saw beyond our eyes. The serenely forest and river caught our eyes. How great it was Allah's creation. Later on, we stopped the boat near the land. Again, 1.2+km jungle trekking to Lata Berkoh. However our tiredness had been cured by looking at the beauteous of the waterfall. Had a seat on the rocks with eyes on the scenery. What an enjoyable period of time.
Therewithal, we didn't miss to snap some photos to be left as memories. At the same time, Nai didn't miss the opportunity to sing several songs silently which were Super Delicate, Ashita e and Heart of Glass. The sound of the waterfall really suit with that kind of songs. Once satisfied with the serene environment, we made our back to the boat through 1.2+km trekking again. Rode back on everyone boat, we settled down in Kelah Sanctuary.
The clear water totally will calm every one's eye. The depth of the water is about 10m deep. For sure we wore our life jacket but the coldness of the water somehow made our nerves up. Some of them did get out cos they couldn't withstand with the cold river water. For some of us, we didn't want to get out since this was our last activity before we head back to Temerloh. We swam around and played in the water together. Therewith, we swam together with the Kelah fish all around our body. Yet, at 1pm, we had to get out and rode on the boat again. On the way back to the jetty, there were some of us who took a nap on the boat. We all were exhausted under the torrid sun.
Packed all the belongings and directly put it in the cars.
We could never thought that was the last day of us, the cousins at Taman Negara. If we have the time controller, we would turn back those times again and again. Could never want to let all the memories faded away. Till this moment, it is still racy and fresh on our eyes. We had our lunch at the nearby restaurant treated by our humble tour-guide. 6 of us ate plain rice with some dishes while the other 6 ate fried rice with eggs. Said farewell to Abang Khairil. Made our 2 hours journey back to Gramma's housed. As we arrived in Temerloh, the three cars stopped at side of the toll. Kak Ti and Kak De had planned that they had to go back to Kuala Lumpur that evening but unfortunately after half an hour of waiting, Kak Ti's friend said she would headed to Gramma's house. The first group who arrived in Grammas was Abang Boy's. Second was Abiq's and third was Ayie's. Gathered all around the Kasrah's Veranda together with Wan and TokBah. We flashed back the memories and had laugh together. Every single person smile made our day. We were teasing Kak Long Mira who should came along but cancelled at last minutes caused of her license's test. What a loss of her but both of us believe that there is wisdom behind all of this.
That night, we should be going to our aunt's house but because of everyone's persuasion for us to stay at Wan's house, we did. Had dinner together. Watched television together. Miss-ing. Mikai and Ninie slept in Mummy London's room, Minai and Kak Dila in Acu's room, Fendi and Im on the sofa bed in front of the TV and Abang Boy in his room. So, that's the amount who stayed. Kak Ti and Kak Dila already went back to KL with Kak Ti's friend, Ayie and Epi went back to their houses and Abiq went back to Kuantan. Sadness was there deep inside our heart but we were happy since we still had extra time with the others. We should live the present. Thus, vexations never conquer us.
29th April
Woke up during the dawn and had Subuh prayer. Lied back to sleep again till 11am. Only silent could be heard. Fendi and Abang Boy went to their work. Kak Dila also departed to Jerantut for her work. There's only left the four of us in the house with Wan and TokBah. However, it was our main intention to stay. To take care and spent time with our grandparents. At 3pm, we went to Kak Long's house which is only beside Wan's for movie session, The Vow at the ground floor. It was such an interesting movie. That night we had dinner with various type of dishes. Then, the guys, Abang Boy, Ayie, Fendi, Epi, Im and Hakim played cards while Minai, Mikai, Kak Long Mira and Ninie watched HBO on the second floor of Kak Long's house. At first, we should be watching Astro First but since Aicik and Cik Ana watched the ground floor's TV, we had to go upstairs. At 12am, back to Wan's house but the guys still with the cards, so we decided to go to sleep. -,- .
30th April
Woke up at 11am and saw the others sleeping. They were not going to work cos its Labour's Day. Got a call from Ayie and he said he gonna send us back to KL. Promised at 1.30pm. Before headed back to KL, had our lunch together. At 1.30pm, four of us put our belongings into the bonnet. Before leaving, we greeted the others and salam. It was such a melancholic situation. Had to say goodbye after having a wonderful journey. After 2 hours in the car drove by Ayie, we were home. That wondrous days just like a dream. An extremely spectacular dream. For the rest of our life, those fabulous Vacanture will be kept safely in our hearts.
Life is like a book.
Don't jump to the end to see if it's worth it.
Just enjoy life and fill those beautiful pages with memories.
