We tried to have lectures and talks fm different Ustaz on end of each mth...so last Saturday, instead having the usual class , we have invited Ustaz Mokhtar Stork to speak abt "Determining who goes to Heaven and Hell."....."heavy" topic,eh.

I was there early to help out with the registrations, alhamdulillah the turned out was good. Our class venue is quite condusive , so with extra chairs , it managed to sit more than 50over ppl. Briefly abt Ustz Mokhtar Stork, he is an australian and converted to Islam in 1960....(he is 64yo now) pursued his Islamic educations in Pakistan and have since travelled around the globe to preach or attend official duties , besides having writing books under his name. One of his book is " A-Z of Islam" and soon to be published "Humors In Islam". He works with the Islamic Ctr in KL for years..hence he speak good Malay too.

As per the topic given for that day..Ustz Mokhtar said, it's very hard to determined,cos, only Allah is the Most Knowing. I didnt take much notes, cos, i was very much engrossed with his calmly way of delivering his talk and listening attentively.

If i could recalled correctly, he mentioned that " Every son of Adam has been created with a portion of sins"...it's either preordained or premeditated. The prophets s.a.w asked Allah for forgiveness 70x a day........so selfcheck yrself how many times we actually make time to prostrate and"speak" to The Almighty "...sometimes or many a time we missed that also . Our real enemy is not the syaitan but our Nafs. We received many blessings from Allah, which later become the Amanah, and somehow we fail to fulfil which then caused Azab, but thru Insaf, we seek for repentance frm Him...it goes again in a cycle.

He told us lots of interestng stories(in btwn the talk) abt his personal encounters thru his journey being a Muslim.

He also mentioned, never fail to ask Allah to "help you to help yourself " and with His "intervene" seek for His guidance to help u to lead the right path. Hope what i write make sense....im bad in explaining stuff, esp in writing.
He gave a very enlightening view n perceptions esp for converts..and i reckon those converts that attend the talk that day, like sis Kazumi (a japanese)...might have felt relieved somehow.
It was overall a very refreshing lecture indeed...

"Are Muslims Able to Cope with Changes" ... that will be Ustz Yaseer Fares talk & discussion end April. Im looking forward to it,definitely.

A few minutes ago, i received a call fm my son's form teacher, Mdm Chia. She wanted to check somthing w me ,abt my son...well, regarding the Maths tutoring classes, that my son didnt attend last Wednesday. I told her i knew abt it, cos, my son came back earlier than expected and told he the reason. Mdm Chia just need a letter of acknowledgement frm my end. Fine, will do so.

I know her time on the phone is limited, but we managed to speak abt some valid issues concerning my son, of cos. I am glad to hear good improvement on my son's part and how she motivates him,talk to him and encouraged him. Im really pleased with her approached. As far as i know, the school has only few teachers who are really going-all-out type for thier students. Teachers that understand thier students strength and weaknesses and very much concerned abt thier well being..teachers who dont give up on their students just because they are weak.

Mdm chia knows my son loves to draw and he draws well. She told me something that touched me. She has seen his personal art works...thus, she asked him to draw her face. My son came home one afnn , and gladly told me abt his teacher's praises...and decided to draw her caricature, using the class photo as his guide. He completed the caricature the same nite and handed over to Mdm Chia the next morning.

My son has been getting great teachers so far. I hope after leaving the school, he will still remember thier advices and encouragement and make it as an inspirations for him to do better in life.

In the squeeze of minutes n seconds (cos, she got class to relief) , i managed to get her opinion on certain matter...at least now, i have clearer picture. I shall talk to my son once again and then just proceed.

In the still of the nite, i (and hubby) happend to look up in the sky and saw, somting magnificient, that ive never seen before and i just dunno how to describe in words. *subhanallah* It's last Thursday nite, to be precise.

Y'day, i managed to purchase 4 tickets to seminar "B.O.N.G.K.A.R.Rahsia Ibubapa Cemerlang Anak Gemilang!" . Im not sure wat to expect from this, but i hope Natasha Nabila the girl , with the highest PSLE score last year, plus other speakers would be able share some effective study tips and enlightened parents with thier advices and talk.

Im such a terrible daughter in law, it's been awhile since i last visited and talk to my mother-in-law, so tak patut ! Yikes ! Must go visit oredy tis wkend.

A lot of things still pending.........

It's been quite awhile that Ive been toying with the idea of starting personal journal of my own . Get myself a nice little diary (that i can chuck in my bag and carry anywhere w me) and penned down my inner thots,express my feelings, the ups and downs of my living years etc...and abt some happenings which i tink it's too private to share with anyone else.

It's gonna be like a personal history or a summary of my life..hehhee. Perhaps, with those entries , randomly or not, maybe, one day i could just flip back the old ones and see how much things has changed , progressed, how life has grown so much actually, some good or bad lessons that have learned fm ......etc. I could even laffed it out loud in future, upon reading some of the entries. This journal could also be tools for self-evaluations.?? No?

Maybe it's the age thingy...that caused me to the start this little "project"of mine.. "Seasons of My Life"or "Life Turbulances"...i cant decide yet, cos, that's wat i can think of right now , for the title of my yet-to-be personal journal. It's sounds so dramatic ,eh...hahaha

I believe everyone has stories to tell, no matter how insignificant or uneventful it is. Everyone has life experiences..amazing adventures, some close shaves,difficult situations,great findings etc......

So, before my age and memory take a toll on me.......i tink i'd better start to write or penned down those priceless memories, the up closed and personal events, and begin my seasonal journey.
