I Believe (queued, for almost 2 months now)

The biggest lie is when you say that you will remember it without having to write it down. 

Found it somewhere, and I think it's true ;)

Memories, or maybe just things, when first known it will be stored in our conscious mind. After a period of time, after we recite it plenty of times, then only it goes to our subconscious mind. The things inside our conscious mind can consist of a name of a new friend, the road to a someplace new, or the lyrics to a new song. The subconscious mind ? Simple, your name, your age, your telephone number, the surah Al-Fatihah etc. These are the things that you can recall without having to put any effort onto it. And these memories will never be lost. (insyaAllah) This is one way to define conscious and subconscious mind. Usually people will say the conscious mind are the things that you do voluntarily, vice versa for the subconscious mind. You can learn more about it here.

So that's why we must write things down. Because we tend to forget it cause it's not in our subconscious mind.

I just wanna share a few things here. (mostly what i wanna improve on doing in UTP, but it's no harm to start from now)


1) Tahajjud. This, honestly, I rarely do cause of, yknow sleep and all that. If I can stay up to study, why can't I do the same to do Tahajjud ? But I have to sleep first, and then wake up during the last 1/3 of the night to perform tahajjud. I'll admit it, it's hard. But I shall try.

2) Recite Quran before sunrise. Well, here's another problem. Why ? Cause one, I was trained in TKC to recite the Quran after Maghrib prayers (cause that's the only time that we have) but then I really have to change that. Maybe change to reciting after Subuh only. Or both, If I can. InsyaAllah. Two, usually after Subuh I will straight away go back to sleep. (bad, I know) As for UTP, missing the 8 am class is normal (familliar much?) but this must change. One of the reasons why my grades are not that good is because of missing those 8 am classes. It's super hard I know because sleep is a vital aspect for me, but I must plant it in me to sleep less and do more awake time.

3) Pray at the mosque for Fajr. Guys especially. My mum once said girls are not likable to go to masjid alone, it could cause fitnah. So I shall wait till I get married then I can go w my husband ehehe gedik much :p

4) Dhuha Prayer. Another one. Oh Allah, there's so many weakness in me, help me to overcome them as I don't one to be one of your ignorant slaves :(

5) Sedeqah daily. Smiling is also a sedekah ey :) So don't be shy to smile. Ehehe. And i'm no saint, sometimes I see people at the pasar malam and I just walked by them. :( I hope Allah understands cause we are still students, not being able to have our own income so sedekah as you may :) Don't let it be a burden to you !

6) Always have wudhu'. There's this hadith or Quranic verse I can't quite remember it always appear on TV states that if that someone already has wudhuk from his/her last prayer, but he/she took another to perform the next solat, his/her sins will be forgiven. Or something like that. I am not sure about this so don't trust me on this. I'll try to find it kay ;)

7) Istighfar every chance you got. This i must must must remind myself. Because when m w my friends I tend to laugh excessively and it's so not good. And it also will protect us from doing any harm. Astaghfirullah.


That's that. It's more on the big stuffs. Some of the small small stuffs are

1) Tidying up the bed before class. Aha. This. Im trying to convince myself nowadays that im not quite a lady im im messy and if im messy no one wants to marry me :p ehehe

2) Calling my parents. This is specifically for utp. It's important to keep track on your family, esp your parents. Just imagine... I don't want to say anything bad here but you know what I mean right ? Just like my mum said, she has not been worrying about me at all since i started my long holidays, cause im like here all the time and it's good. But once i get back to utp, she'll start to worry again. And it's my job to make her stop worrying, by calling her everyday (or once every two days).

Well i've got some other stuffs in mind but i shall keep it to myself. We all have our personal daily reminders right? :)
