In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Assalamualaikum! Salam Syawal all. I hope you are having a wonderful Eid with your loved ones. Alhamdulillah I am glad that this year my extended family is able to go visiting together, an annual affair. Every year, there will be additions to the family such as a newly married cousin or a newborn baby. That's just how it is. Change. You know how the old adage goes, change is the only constant. 

We are nearing the end of the first half of the year. I have gotten my results for Y2S2. Guess what. It is the worst one yet hahaha. Surprisingly, I am actually grateful with the results I got. I wanted to just pass and clear some mods this sem and yup I got what I wanted. Let's just maintain this third class honours status until I graduate or better, bring it up to second lower. At least I am getting nearer to the end. 

On another note, I have met my yearly quota of dating one girl a year. It's over. I mentioned in my previous posts that I would keep you updated on my s/o. An unfulfilled promise, sorry to say. It's ok. It felt so real when we were dating for the 3 months this year. I have never felt anything which made me believe in love again after repeated failures. There's nothing that I can do anymore. I figured out why Allah brought us together. He sent her in my life in Y2S2 as a form of support and love to keep me going for the sem. You had certainly helped me out a lot then. The semester would have been such a drag if not for you. 

Just because some people are only in your life temporarily, it doesn’t make the memories and lessons you’ve shared any less memorable.

husnul thun billah. Have good thoughts of Allah. He is the al-Aleem (all knowing) and al-Wakil (disposer of affairs). What's not mine will never be mine and what's mine will always reach me.


“If we had perfect power to determine our destinies, and perfect vision to see the future and know what is best for us, we would choose exactly the fate that Allah has chosen for us.”
 – Imam al-Ghazali (rahimahullah).

With that, I really look forward to my 1 month stay in Korea. It is a much needed break from reality, to fully process the events that took place on the first half of the year. I need time to get back on my feet again. May I be God-conscious always and allow his mercy and love to heal me.

Last but not least, I seek forgiveness to those I have wronged before in my life. May Allah accept all your deeds in Ramadhan and grant us the opportunity to meet it again next year. Amin.

Peace be upon you.
