Selamat Hari Raya 2012 to all..

It's been a while I haven't get to update my blog, here I am just to greet all Muslims who's celebrating Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

Every year, since 2001, I didn't get to celebrate Hari Raya with my father. Nevertheless, my doa are always with him and He will always be missed. 

I miss you pa.. :')

SELAMAT HARI RAYA, MAAF ZAHIR DAN BATIN TO ALL MUSLIMS WHERE EVER YOU ARE.. :)

My Doa for the day..

It's raining cats and dogs as soon as I woke at 11am today, it feels chilly and the weather is a bit dark. I'm all alone in my room and feels lonely. As loneliness is trying to fill up my mind, I turn to Allah and says my doa.

BismillahirRahmanNirrahim..

رَبَّنَا اغفِر لى وَلِوٰلِدَىَّ وَلِلمُؤمِنينَ يَومَ يَقومُ الحِسابُ 
~ Rabbana ighfirli waliwaalidayya walil mu`mineena yawma yaqoomul hisaab ~ 

"Ya Allah! forgive me and my parents and (all) the believers on the day when the reckoning will be established." 

رَبَّنا ظَلَمنا أَنفُسَنا وَإِن لَم تَغفِر لَنا وَتَرحَمنا لَنَكونَنَّ مِنَ الخٰسِرينَ 
~ Rabbana thalamna anfusana wain lam taghfir lana watarhamna lanakoonanna mina alkhasireen ~ 

"Our Lord ! we have wronged ourselves and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers." 

للَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّيْ عَلَى ذِكْرِكَ وَشُكْرِكَ وَحُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكَ
~ Allaahumma a ‘innii ‘alaa dhikrika, wa shukrika, wa husni ‘ibaadatika ~ 

"O Allah, help me to remember You, to give You thanks and to perform Your worship in the best manner" 

Ya Allah.... my sins are great... but a small amount of Your forgiveness is greater than them.

Ya Allah.... forgive the greatness of my sins... with a little of Your mercy! 

Amin.... ♥


Things will keep on changing day by day, and I must try to adapt and accept all the changes for which all of these changes are all came from Allah.. Allahuakbar! :')

The last day on the school 1st term

Dato Mohd Yassin Primary School, Year 1C 2012.

The 1st term of school holiday is starting from the 16th March until 25th March 2012. This is my Year 1C, Art & Design class, as you can see they're cheerful, adorable, happy and look forward for their holidays. As they have finished their colouring session 15 minutes earlier, I decided to let them to express their happiness through singing which I requested for them to perform any tracks they want to sing. They were singing to one of the catchy and famous track in the local radios, a song called "Aku anak kampung". This song is actually from Malaysia. I enjoyed my time with them very much, they're adorable!! Happy holiday class! =D 

Short clip from my Year 1C Art & Design class

If I Ain't Got You..

Every time i feel like i've got nothing, I feel like am a loser, I'm below my expectations then i turn to see my beloved girlfriend's picture and  with the people around me, people that I have, I know I've got it all.

True as the lyric, I've been here and there, I have fun here and there, but that life's a bore so full of the superficial. I'm more in my manhood life now. A life that teaches me to be a mature man, with responsibilities at hands. 

I know I might not be a perfect man, I might not be able to fulfill all the needs of others, but I'm honest in everything that I hold on to.

I do care very much, I do love my relationships very much, but I'm sorry if I'm overdoing it, feel free to let me know about it, because I'm just a normal human being. Everything came from Him, I only plan but Allah is the judge.

I love you with all my heart, and I'll make you my wife. Do pray for us love.. Ervyna.. :)

Carpentry and Fishing on Sunday Afternoon

Fishing has become one of the most preferred activities of the local people in Brunei Darussalam. My village has become one of the main center for this activity and it happens to be one of the happening spots for good catch. 

When I was 7 years old, I started to love fishing as one of my favourite activity during my leisure time. My first catch were "Seperiding" fish. A small fish that's quite easy to catch using a small hook with the bait of small sliced prawn. Then, I started to catch "Bilis", "Kitang", "Kalakitok", "Usus", "Belais", "Sumpit-sumpit" known as archer fish and the like. It became of my best experiences to be able to fish around my village areas.

Below are some pictures of the young children with their fishing activity.
