For the past few days, I was away in Bintan, facing experiences of my life, climbing up Gunung Bintan, planting mangroves out in nowhere, visiting sea gypsies and listening to their stories, sleeping in hot tents and wake up perspiring, bathing in toilets with no locks or worse, no doors. Nonetheless, I enjoyed most of the times doing the activities planned for us.

And for the first time ever, I experienced a real campfire on the beaches of Bintan, riding on bumpy buses that battled the snaky and dangerous roads. Believe me, some of the roads are inclined at about 20 degrees and the bus sped along that road to avoid toppling over. Kecut perot.

The food there was more than enough. Seriously. I never felt hungry instead, always felt full. Unfortunately, Arif wasnt with me. It would make things a lot more fun. And it would be fun if this year, Ikhwans can manage to go there for holidays. But please, book a resort.

I learnt so much from the trip. It made me appreciate my life better. From the toilet to the bed to the food and to the people around me. Hmm... And having to see the hard lives of the sea gypsies, and still seeing them smile, its proven that everybody have their own problems to face. And those who survived are those who make their troubles their happiness by thinking positive. And people are never thankful enough for what they have. Its never enough.

Now, I have PW clinging on to me, holiday assignmments tracing my footsteps, and fatigue, powered by laziness bugging me.

To those Poly Ikhwans and Bukharoxies who are having or will have their exams, all the best! :D

Till then.

Wassalaam.

For the past few days, its been something different for me.

I spent my weekends being the only student supporter from Innova JC for the 4PM debate competition. Alhamdulillah, I get to meet my ikhwans from WakTG and, IJC made it to the quarter finals. **marha marha

Ended the weekend with a dinner with Hafidz, Abu and Syamil at McDonald's NUS and maghrib prayers at the deserted canteen. Yeah. That made my weekends brighter.

Monday, had to sacrifice 2 precious hours to PW consultation. 11am that same morning, went to beloved IRSYAD to meet up with Cikgu Zul and Cikgu Is. Attended briefing for Malay Trail. After Zuhur, went to Junction8 with Cikgu Zul to fill our tummies with fatty McD meals. Walked around Junction8 and I found out that Junction8 is more than just 2 storeys. Hahaha.

Went to help out with the Malay Trail this morning. And straightaway went to Cathay Cineleisure @ Orchard to get movie passes together with Cikgu Zul, Syaraf and Ismail. Ismail! Long time no see... Met up with Fauzi at AlFalah.

We watched Prince of Persia Sands of Time.
