Skipping classes

Yes, I skipped two classes this morning. Intro to Fiqh class and I guess I won’t miss anything since the lecturer will be reading every single word from the book. And History class which was unintentionally because I thought I would miss Intro to Fiqh, woke up later and go to History but I missed the time. But then again, I hope I will be able to get the notes from my neighbour upstair. And I’m feeling quite sick and exceptionally cold, a headache and somewhat blurry of everything..

I had the meeting for IRK Magazine. I was assistant head for photography and I did nor know that it’s a very hard job and we only have one week to do our job, luckily the Head is a dependable guy. Well, he’s in the 4th year, he should be responsible and I’m only in my first year and just about to learn all these and needing guidance. I’ll try my best..if the photos for the magazines turns out well, I’ll be making my parents proud of me and that’s what matters. So wake up Seri!!! And THOSE BOOKS TO READ!!!

I attended an Interfaith Dialogue organized by the IRKHS Students’ Society for thier I-MEC (Islamic Mega Carnival), “Science and your scriptures, is it a conflict or conciliation,” and it was a very refreshing intellectual digesting my mind programme. There are speakers for Islam, Hinduism, Christianity and Buddhism and they are all real learned people I got to respect! The Muslim speaker, Mr Shah Kirit…he really knows every verse of the Qur’an which tells of anything scientific. I aspire to be like him. I am especially in awe of his knowledge in Science: the big bang theory, cosmology, the beginning of time, creation. It makes me eager to start reading anything scientific and astrologic. And then there’s the Hindu speaker. Mr Utama Saitani…he’s so eloquent and articulate, he speaks great English and it is as though he’s reading from a book. There’s a lot of things in Hindu I do not understand but I will learn about them. He speaks of the Vedic texts and that Ramayana and Mahabharata are historical recordings and not myth. Then there’s the Christian speaker which I did not really concentrate during his presentation and the Buddhist speaker who is a funny guy and bring out laughs from the audience.

I benefit from the dialogue. I know I am going to attend more of this in the future.

At the moment, I’m still preparing for my presentation and still unsure of how to present it in an interesting way instead of just talking about it in front. It’s due tomorrow….
