The Almighty

"Oh Allah, please forgive me for all the sin that I have done. Please forgive the sin of my parents, my wife and her parents. Please give them good health and cure any illness that they are having. Oh Allah, lift from them any burden that is too heavy for them to carry. Keep them save from any ill desires of the devil. Grant them happiness and wealth. If You were to take them, let them be among those that You Loved.

Oh Allah, grant us offspring who are soleh and solehah. Grant us offspring who will be the best of man and carry the name of Islam on his or her shoulder. Grant us offspring who will continue the great work of our Rasulullah and carry the responsibility of dakwah. Grant us offspring who will gain your pleasure Oh Allah.

Oh Allah, grant me strength and wisdom for me to lead my family. To lead my family towards your pleasure Oh Allah. Grant me the knowledge and skills to educate my family towards your pleasure Oh Allah. Grant me the energy for me to carry on to work for You Oh Allah. Oh Allah, please reduce the challenges you have given me in this new phase of life. I know I have not been a great servant to you Oh Allah and I have not been carry out my responsibility to you as a Khalifah Oh Allah. Please grant me a chance to serve you again Oh Allah. Let not my eyes be blinded by the worldly nikmah Oh Allah. Let not my energy be wasted on worldly desires Oh Allah. Grant me the vigor to continue my Dakwah Oh Allah. I have missed so much serving You Oh Allah. You are The Only Place for me to seek help Oh Allah. Therefore please grant my prayer Oh Almighty Allah.

Just a matter of 10 minutes...

Ok ok... here is another update for you...

Thought of leaving home at 6.45am today. I know that the bus usually comes around 6.55am but I guess today I delay a bit in leaving my house so I end up missing my bus. Saw the bus drive pass me while I was at the traffic light. What to do... redha...

So I took the next bus which came at 7.05am. There was a stupid bus no 9 which refuse to move out of the bus bay and cause a major hogging that delayed the other bus behind it. So that cause me to reach the interchange at 7.16am. Managed to catch the 969 bus at 7.20am. Reach Khatib at 7.47am. Rush to the MRT and found that the next train is just 2 mins away. Rush up the platform and managed to catch that train. Reach Woodlands somewhere at 8.05am. Rush down and saw the bus waiting for me with NO QUEUE!! So went into the bus and left for school. Reach school at 8.10am and office at 8.15am.

So conclusion? Just a matter of 10 minutes could mean 45mins for me to reach school. That is the reason why I cannot delay leaving home.[mental note]

Updates? Here you go...

You want updates right? Ok here you go. I need a break from grading anyway. Been sitting on this chair for almost 3 hrs just doing grading. Yet I have just completed team 3.

Reached school late today. Left home around 6.55am. Took the bus no. 39 at 7.15am. Slept in the bus and missed the stop at Khatib MRT so stopped at the Yishun Interchange. Took MRT at Yishun MRT at 8.15am. Reach Woodlands around 8.35am. Go down to the interchange and found a super long queue for the bus to school so decided to walk to school. Reached school around 8.50am. Walk to my office, 8.55am. So there you go. From my home front(back) door to my office front door, took me 2hrs.

So how about that for an update! Happy? Ok back to my grading... here is a picture for your consumption...
