ceramah?
I wish I could blog about something cool about my absence. Like I’ve been involved in some gangs or something, make me look super badass like I own the world. yeaaah… *bad ass face*
But the truth is, I’ve been slammed with so many assignments. It’s final year degree in architorture, can’t expect much from me. And having a dictating lecturer, is only making it 100000x worse. So, I’m not going to bother you with my rants on how assignments are slowly killing me, and how Melbourne is just gettting boring by the day, in fact, I want to talk about intentions, specifically intention of learning about religion, or to put it simply (or more accurately), niat untuk tambah ilmu agama. Sounds like heavy topic hey?
I want to put forward that I’m no religion expert. In fact, there are so much for me to learn about my own religion. My mum used to drag me to mosque so that I could listen to the preaching afterwards. Sometimes they talk about some interesting topics, and totally catch my attention, and other times it is just bloody boring. I’m lucky to have a sporting mum who doesnt mind me sleeping whenever its getting boring. Bottom line is, I do want to learn something, at least a bit by bit. And I’m always grateful for insightful and interesting preach but I can only be patient during those boring preaching for it has cost me time.
Anyway, I recently just watched this video and I must say I don’t agree with him at all. Basically he’s saying that he’s against those ustaz who are more entertaining in their preachings saying that they are making fun of Islam. It’s pure BS if you ask me. In my understanding, making fun of the religion is not taking it seriously or mocking the religion. Most youngsters that are not.. well, technically speaking, so pious, is not like they are ignorance, but they just cant find the proper channel that they can cope. If the ustaz gets too boring, using terms that we dont even understand, how do you expect the youngsters to stay interested?
In the end of the day, the audience just want to get some ‘ilmu. And if the ustaz isn’t capturing anybody’s attention, I don’t think anybody’s gonna learn anything. We all know that humans today have very short attention span (or is it just me?). Of course, as the audience, we should try to concentrate and be open as much as possible, but one can only take so much. So yeah, I think it’s good for and important for preachings to be entertaining or charismatic (read: charismatic, not aggressive). Unfortunately, not everyone is born with good communication skills. So, if you know a good ustaz/ustazah coming to your town or on tv, seize that chance. Whatever it is, be ready to accept the ‘ilmu and if needed, do extensive research on it. Niat nak ilmu. okay?
May Allah bless us all. Amin.
p.s, My mum’s been asking me to post pictures of the Uni. Will try to spend some time for that! :D

WIR Campaign : Let’s cover our booties!
I saw this campaign on Sue Anna Joe’s blog recently, and I thought it’s brilliant! It sickens me to see hijabis wearing tight jeans with their bumbums showing, swinging side to side as they walk. It may look sexy, but it contradicts a muslimah’s identity albeit, I’m no exception and guilty as charged.
Surely, it’s hard (atleast for me) but I’m trying and this is a good reminder for me and all of us muslim girls. So, together, let’s spread this to our sisters! ;)

Squatting on toilet seat? Say what?
Let me just be straight to the point of this entry.
Why is that whenever you go, no matter it’s the toilet in KTM station or The Gardens, you still can find at least one toilet seat with shoe print on it! I mean, SERIOUSLY?
SERIOUSLY???
Where are these people come from? I don’t know about you boys but in girls toilet, this often happen.
In my head, these are the people with, I must say, lower intelligence level. Just an advice, if you don’t fucking know how to use a toilet seat, DONT! Use the squatting toilet you dumbfuck! I can understand if I find this in KTM station but in The Gardens? Or any other shopping malls? No no no, nobody should ruin anybody’s retail therapy!
I am so annoyed. Why? I hate squatting toilet because a) It’s scary b) It’s scary. So, I go to great length to wait for the sitting toilet even if there are three vacant squatting ones. It is extremely frustrating to find that after all the time you wait, you can’t use it because of the damn dirt on the toilet seat. We all know two minutes feels like forever when you need to ‘let go’.
You may ask, why don’t I just use it anyway?
- Even if I wipe it off, it’s still icky.
- It’s not my job to clean up after people’s mess
- It’s fucking dangerous to use the toilet with the seat up because I could fall into it and get my ass stuck!’
I can’t help to wonder, why do people do this?
Are they really THAT dumb? Other them being dumb, I’ve came up with some prevailing circumstances to this behaviour. (prev circ, ayat nak bombas je ha ha. siapa tak faham, too bad.)
- It’s their first time using toilet seat and they don’t have the level of intelligence to figure out how to use it.
- They can’t read the sign “DO NOT SQUAT ON THE TOILET” maybe the sign should say, “ONLY DUMBFUCKS SQUAT ON TOILET” instead and hopefully they know what that means.
- They’re having some bad ass diarrhea that they feel the need to squat.
Now, here’s why NOBODY should do it.
- It’s dangerous for you cause you might slip and fall.
- If you are overweight, the toilet might break. Wouldn’t it be so embarrassing if you have to pay the damage for THAT?
- It’s so so fucking inconsiderate to other people. What? You expect people to clean up after your shit? Hell no! As stated in Ikea toilets, leave the toilet as you’d want to find it.
- IT’S EMBARRASSING our nation! It shows how backwards our minds are! How do you expect for our country to develop with this attitude? Can’t even get our ethics right. Shame, shame shame.
FYI, the toilet seat is the cleanest area in the house. It’s the area with least amount of germs compared to… everywhere! And the area UNDER the toilet seat has the most amount of germs esp fecal germs. So, I ain’t lifting the toilet seat up for my ass, bitch!
If you don’t believe me, google it.
