Make a difference....

There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm. He was given a slingshot to play with out in the woods. He practiced in the woods, but he could never hit the target. Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for dinner.

As he was walking back he saw Grandma's pet duck. Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly, hit the duck square in the head and killed it. He was shocked and grieved! In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile, only to see his sister watching!

Fatima had seen it all, but she said nothing. After lunch the next day Grandma said, ' Fatima , let's wash the dishes.' But Fatima said, 'Grandma, Ahmed told me he wanted to help in the kitchen.' Then she whispered to him, 'Remember the duck?' So Ahmed did the dishes.

Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing and Grandma said, 'I'm sorry but I need Fatima to help make supper.'

Fatima just smiled and said, 'Well, that's all right because Ahmed told me he wanted to help.' She whispered again, 'Remember the duck?' So Fatima went fishing and Ahmed stayed to help.

After several days of Ahmed doing both his chores and Fatima 's, he finally couldn't stand it any longer.

He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck. Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and said, 'Sweetheart, I know. You see, I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing, but because I love you, I forgave you. I was just wondering how long you would let Fatima make a slave of you.'

Thought for the day and every day thereafter?

Whatever is in your past, whatever you have done... and the devil keeps throwing it up in your face (lying, cheating, debt, fear, bad habits, hatred, anger, bitterness, etc.)...whatever it is...You need to know that Allah was standing at the window and He saw the whole thing. He has seen your whole life. He wants you to know that He loves you and that you are forgiven.

He's just wondering how long you will let the devil make a slave of you.

The great thing about Allah is that when you ask for forgiveness, He not only forgives you, but He forgets. It is by Allah's grace and mercy that we are saved.

Go ahead and make a difference in someone's life today. Always remember: Allah is at the window!

Finished our Semester 2

Semester 02...was harder then the 1st semester. More technical drawings and works to do which I never did and learned during my highschool. So, the difficulty to complete the assignments became very hard for me compared to my studiomates who had learned technical or engineering drawings while in highschool. This semester also, I almost failed my core subject since I didn't attend the meeting on the submission date. But, Insyaallah, with Allah's helps, I'll passed the subject.

Things that happened through the semester:

* Visits to Malacca - our 2nd sem's field trip also in Malacca which made almost all of Khazanah's members disagreed with it because we're given briefs about having a trip to Penang. Then, suddenly.... the Penang trip was switched to a Malacca trip. Anyway, this trip was really enjoyable because last sem I didn't get to explore Malacca Town fully.

*Archifest 09 Plus minus - This sem festival, our studio were really into it. We worked very hard to participate in it. We prepared for our performance till morning for 2 days. (sampai pencil box hilang....xtaula sapa yg amik) Making the best movie ever,"Jangan Pandang Mane2".(Thx to our director, Huari Yahya) And, we got 2 awards which were Best Movie award and Best Studio award. (Alhamdullillah, kalo xdpt pape mmgla merana satu studio, gile xtdo siapkan props)

*BEL - presentation skills....a subject that I dislike since my highschool (walaupun xde specific subjek cmni). First presentation.....bad. During the presentation, I became so nervous till my voice didn't come out from my mouth. Second presentation....bad luck. I was presenting in front of ID students since I didn't submit my p.o on the dateline(yela, dh asyik sakit mcm2 je...cmne xponteng kls)...and, for the second presentation, I didn't sleep from thursday evening till friday evening to prepare and practice the speech. I felt like a walking zombie that day since I didn't have a sleep and have appetite to eat until the presentation finished.

That're the things that happened(which I remembered) through this sem. And again, congratulations to all of my studiomates who got high marks for their marvellous works. Together we work harder next sems,to be what we want to be.

How Fast the Time had Passed by....

Two semester are almost done....

Malacca Heritage Trail

Iftar Jamaie' G13th

At last...I finally can meet all of my school's friends that I have long missed them. I was so excited to meet and see how their life have turned into. All of them are such a bright students. That evening,we're told to register at surau. It's my first time to see and enter the surau after I left my beloved school. After praying Asr, we have an activity which we need to talk about ourself and our achievements after school. It was so interesting to get know where and what are your friends doing now. And I was so admired of them. This activity end before Maghrib.

When it's time to iftar, we all assemble at Dewan Serbaguna. And after eating, we have our Maghrib's pray, Isyak's pray and Tarawih at surau. Actually, that evening I just know that there'll be a Qiyam. But due to the late information, I can't attend it. After finished Tarawih, I make my way to home.

It was such an unforgettable memory. I was so happy to see them and make me eager to see them again.

Khazanah's Iftar

In the end of Ramadhan, the 'successor' of Khazanah decided to have an iftar together. It was a tiring day for Kesatria's student because that evening,they have a talk in DSB. They all need to rush back to our studio to have an iftar together. Everybody was so happy. Our menu for that day is....a take-away KFC snack plate with a glass of coke plus our dessert;our hamper that we win on the Archiftar day. While waiting for the whole studio to arrive, we're chatting among each other. Inda's was drawing a chibi-like cartoon represent each of us. We started to eat when everybody arrived. We have such a happy day. After fnished eating, we go to surau to pray.

Starting Project 3

Finished our second project, we were given a brief about the third project. In this project, at last it involving buildings. We need to choose a building either it has a historical value or architecture features. All of us finished most of our time, 'digging' the library to find a buiding that we like. Most important, the building that we want to draw must have an elevation, section and it's floor plan. These make us more difficult to find the book that include all that criteria. From the briefing's time my mind always think about a building that I've been admired for a long time; ALHAMBRA. Therefore, reached at the library, I'm focusing to find books about Alhambra.

I borrowed about 7 books that contain the building's information. But, there're too little information in those books. When there're some students start to draw, I'm still searching for the section and elevation of the building. I entered OPAC many times just to find a book specifically for Alhambra. I almost give up on the building. But I try and try until I find the book. I feel so grateful when I found that book. I feel so tired for the whole week just to find a book.(+ tgh pose plak tuh....)

Second process.... composition. We need to make 3 different compositions of our buiding on A2 size butterpaper. The lecturers dissaproved my compositions because I've included 3D view of the building. So, they help me with my composition. I redo my composition and traced it on A2 watercolour paper.(Sebab ingat nk wat gune watercolour...tp last2 dr warning; kalo guna watercolour dpt gred xlebih dr C...means susahla nk lulus)

Then, I sacrificed my parents' weekend (rs bersalah gler) just to buy RM3.20/pc pencil colour in Taman Melawati. Since the project must be in monochromatic mode, so I've chose brown as the major colour. Start to colour...and Alhamdulillah, Dr approved it and ask me to continue. And now, in this Eid's holiday, I need to finished 1/2 of my project that must be submitted on 8th Oct 2008.
