the past weekend has been a mix of blessings, beautiful experience and whatnots.
first of was the Iftar with Friends of Harmony centre on Friday which was a nice experience for me. truly. iftar with people of different races and religions, sharing experiences and whats memorable for me was the conversation circle we had after iftar with what i can proudly say, my own circle of friends made up of christians, bahais and buddhists.

only in this circle, we had a bigger group for guests from the Iftar joined us and it so happened that the topic for the night was on Prayer. and when every adherents of faith present that night said a prayer, it truly touched me. i realised every faith seeks one thing: to be embraced by God’s Love. seeks for His guidance and protection, seeks for His forgiveness and blessings. and i got to meet some very inspirational and knowledgeable people, sincere at hearts and minds, almost freed of the worldly wants.

and saturday was another memorable night. Cakap Pasal Remaja was in town for ramadan! with a skit performance by our talented youth leaders, whom i am fortunate to be acquainted with, people with aim and spirit, normal people with great hearts and minds. you know i was thinking the whole night : i’m looking at these very people who are and will be our future leaders. able to be role models for the young ones. and the drama was a good one, revolving around four friends who promised to be together.

however, when they grew up, things changed. (i don’t remember the characters’ names so i’ll be using the ‘actors’ names) ahmad model-turned-playboy, amin good boy turned bad, fairus leader-turned-samseng, and only one of them who stayed true to his words, he promised to be the one to help his friends in times of need, this was played by syakir.

so the story goes, with short intervals by ust fendi as the storyteller. syakir saw the changes in his friends and tried hard to help them realised their mistakes. [Al-Qur’an hudan linnaas]–> the key takeaway of the story.
i have to say you got to be there. the young ustaz-s can act i tell you!

it was just unfortunate i was on mc minallah, or i would have loved to stay on for the qiyam and get to know with the young ones, see what’s hip and happening for them~~share one or two experiences, totally miss school life! and i thought i was going to do a cinderSeri with a Birken’s Twist, for leaving the ‘palace’ at 12 am. haha, fat hope.

and last night was well spent… iftar with the girls only we missed shasha! we had mediterranean at Zac’s Place, having our dinner *under the stars* and the meals scrumptuous, service’s good enough and there will always be things to talk about! from daily life to upin and ipin, to MBMF, to children’s psychology! but hey we went back way before curfew time ok 😉 what’s with the anti-Huzah and looking for taxi all the way down masjid sultan, with a group of guys shrieking, and i mean shrieked at the sight of a rodent (YUCKSSSSSS!!) all of these memories in the span of 4 hours.

–and the weekend had been fulfilled with blessings and love–

and with that, i have upLOADS of pics to the various virtual channels which i own~
