Will be blogging again after 9th June.
Wishing everyone the very best for the coming exam.

O ye Children of Adam! We have bestowed raiment upon you to cover your shame, as well as to be an adornment to you. But the raiment of righteousness,- that is the best. Such are among the Signs of Allah, that they may receive admonition! [al-A'raf : 26]
And the word of your Lord has been accomplished truly and justly; there is none who can change His words, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing. And if you obey most of those in the earth, they will lead you astray from Allah's way; they follow but conjecture and they only lie.Surely your Lord-- He best knows who goes astray from His way, and He best knows those who follow the right course. [al-An'am : 115-117]
Doorknobs are dirty but on the "low side," and people should not be very worried about touching too much doorknobs and catching a cold or flu because of it. Computer keyboards and telephones, on the other hand, are brimming with bacteria, and have more bacterial load than an elevator button, the handles and button on the communal microwave oven, or the office water fountain. The average desk harbors 400 times more bacteria than the average toilet seat! Where there are bacteria, there can be viruses, which are known to hang onto a clean and dry surface for days (!!) and to a wet surface for weeks (!!!) On Public Toilets: bathroom sinks have high bacterial counts, and the dirtiest handles are urinal flush handles. Think diarrhea instead of any sexually transmitted infections (STIs) --- the most common toilet germs found are Norwalk-like viruses or caliciviruses, shigella, and salmonella --- which can all cause diarrhea. "Clean laundry" is really dirty laundry. Professor Gerba says, "There is about a 10th of a gram of feces in the average pair of underwear, and you don't want to be doing your handkerchiefs with your underwear.." Uh-oh! Make it a habit to wash your hands well not only before eating but AFTER eating, and also AFTER doing the laundry. Accountants, bankers, teachers and doctors are the professions most highly exposed to bacteria and viruses. Surprisingly, lawyers have the least exposure.
For, Believers are those who, when Allah is mentioned, feel a tremor in their hearts, and when they hear His signs rehearsed, find their faith strengthened, and put (all) their trust in their Lord; [al-Anfal:2]
Allah has revealed (from time to time) the most beautiful Message in the form of a Book, consistent with itself, (yet) repeating (its teaching in various aspects): the skins of those who fear their Lord tremble thereat; then their skins and their hearts do soften to the celebration of Allah's praises. Such is the guidance of Allah: He guides therewith whom He pleases, but such as Allah leaves to stray, can have none to guide. [Az-Zumar: 23]
Satu... kasih nan abadi
Tiada tandingi dia yang satu
Dua... sayang berpanjangan
Membawa ke syurga kasihnya ibu
Tiga... lapar dan dahaga
Rela berpayahan setianya ayah;
Empat... mudah kau ketemu
Berhati selalu beza antara
Kasih dan kekasih
Ibu kuingat dahulu
Menyisir rambut ku kemas selalu
Ayah menghantar ke sekolah
Bergunalah ilmu bila dewasa
Sayang dengar lagu ini
Untuk kau sandarkan buat pedoman
Jangan manis terus ditelan
Pahit terus dibuang... itu bidalan
Harus kau renungkan
Andai kau beroleh bahagia
Ingat itu bukan untuk selamanya
Andai kau dalam sengsara
Ingat itu bukan untuk selamanya
Hidup ini sementara...(x2)
