But i did ask my mum to bring back a lot of food. HAHA. For now, i'll study and pack data into my brain first. Study then enjoy later right? (:

I found this on muslimgirls at livejournal:

Would You Mind Asking Yourself...?

* Say to yourself: I am in Allah's presence; He is watching me.

If ever you are alone, He is the second and that if you are two, He is the third. He is with you wherever you are. He is nearer to you than your jugular vein.

He is watching everything that you do and hearing everything that you say. He is ever present and His knowledge is all encompassing. Remind yourself of this as often as you can, and throughout the day - every time you begin a new task, and every time you speak...

Indeed, your aim should be to impress this on your heart in such a way that it ultimately becomes your very breath. When the Prophet was asked by a Companion about the best method of purifying himself, he replied: 'You should always remember that Allah is with you wherever you are.' (At-Tirmidhi)

* Say to yourself. Everything I have has been given to me by Allah.

All that there is - surrounding you, on you and in you - comes from Allah alone. There is none that creates or gives anything but Allah. Therefore, reflect upon all the blessings that He has created you with and be thankful to Him.

In all the sayings that the Prophet has taught us to remember Allah with, gratefulness to Allah is a constant theme. Many of these sayings are simple to learn, and indeed, it was the most simple of his sayings that he used most frequently.

When the Prophet rose in the morning, he would say Alhamdulillah (Thanks to Allah).

Whenever he ate or drank he would say Alhamdulillah; and even when he relieved himself he would give thanks to Allah.

Learn as many of the sayings as you can, and throughout the day, as you witness all that Allah has blessed you with, punctuate your day with these sayings.

If ever you appear to be short of things to be thankful for, recall the hadith of the Prophet: 'There are 360 joints in the body and for each joint you must give a sadaqa (thanks or charity) each day.' ( Al-Bukhari)

You must give charity for each one of them because without anyone of them you will be incomplete and handicapped. You must do this on a daily basis for should anyone of them become damaged one day, you will similarly become incapacitated.

Additionally, you may remind yourself that, as we now know from our knowledge of human physiology, your heart beats 72 times a minute. Every time it beats, it does so with the permission of Allah.

The moment He withdraws that permission, the heart will stop beating and your life will certainly come to an end. If you feel that there is nothing else to thank Allah for, then thank Him for the life that He has given you - for, so long as there is life, there is hope.

It really explains how i feel about things. Looking at it in this light, it will be hard to commit things that are wrong honestly. We're humans, we make mistakes all the time. But we can't always use that excuse, especially when we know we shouldn't do it (something that is wrong).

That aside, i'm hooked onto Coldplay's album! :DDDDDDDDDD Not too noisy for my liking (which was unexpected).

PS: Ghost Whisperer ended last night. Loved how the plot went; but they left a lot of plot holes :/ Like... what will happen to her baby? And the wedding that her mum supposedly arranged? Among many other 'holes'. But does that mean they have another season coming up? :DDDDDDDDDDDD
PPS: Distraction is so funny. But quite gross and unpleasant at the same time ><

, osn.
