Juma'ah Mubarak :)
They say if your table is messy so is your mind....well my table was really untidy throughout the week. haha
Ive been really out of focus these past few days and just not feeling that well...not sick or anything maybe just a lack of motivation. So my classes this week went by normally and I realised how lucky I was to be in university. Seriously, I felt so blessed to for this opportunity I have in my hands to live in an Arab country experiencing new things, gaining new knowledge and configuring a fruitful life as an overseas syariah student. Wow
But temptations...temptations...they really make you loose focus of your goal and targets. Sometimes I find my everyday routine very monotone and repetitive. I still find it hard to be friends with Arabs, I dont understand my some of my lectures, maintaining friendships is hard etc but Im sure all of these will pass by quickly and I pray that I will overcome these obstacles slowly. Alhamdulillah for my gang of beautiful souls to bring me up whenever Im exhausted with everything. Leggo!
Moving on from depressing things...the subjects I'm taking this semester are pretty good I would say they are:
- Tafsir Ayat Ahkam (the tafsir of some Islamic Laws from Quran)
- Tilawah/1 (memorising juz 29&30 and studying tajweed)
- Furoq Zawaj (talak etc)
- Maharat Tafkir *(the only non-syariah subject this sem, its about thinking skills)
- Muamalat/1 (Transactions/Dealings under Islamic Law)
- Qawaid Lughowiyah fil Fiqhiyyah (Arabic grammer)
Stating these down really makes me feel like I'm studying amazing things....which I am Alhamdulillahx100
Ok, so its no surprise I watch youtube videos everrydayy....and recently I watched this Indonesian girl who posts random videos on her channel and in a few videos she recited some spoken word poetry. I love spoken word poetry! haisss I want to write again :(
Today is Friday and the kakak2 welfare organized a mini sports/get-together event at King Abdullah Park but I didnt go cause want to study. 31/10 da first paper....doakan for this confused sister, k guys? :))) The guys went to Wadi Rum yesterday after school. Jauh pe...tetapi lelaki senang kan. Go jer. This weekend is kinda bonding day between juniors and seniors and a form of getaway before exams come. Yesterday after school, me and some of my friends went to balad to buy some kurma and minyak attar and after that we went to the abaya section and there was a sale at almost every shop we passed by. I ended up giving in to temptations....heh and bought 2 abayas! one was around 8jd and the other was 12jd....sorry umi :') but it was on saleeee
Did I mention that I went to a book fair at Amman last week? Me and my roommate went around the fair with our lovely senior and she adviced us on what kind of books to buy as research or as pleasure reading. She told us to make friends with people who can guide us about the different books written by distinct scholars and we even bought arabic khat books for us to practise...cute tk :) haha and she told us she wajibkan baca one page each day of the books yang bukan untuk sekolah. Good kan? I'm also trying to do that and now I'm currently at pg 10 of Zaadul ma'ad fi khairil I'bad by Ibn Al-Qayyim. Sloooow and steady right. But can I buy consistency at a shop somewhere? I seem to always run out of it..lel
Ok, will post another update on my life soon in sha Allah

Welcoming a new semester
ASSALAMUALAIKUM everyone!
Wow my blog got so many spiderwebs here haha 3 months flew by so fast and its already October. Alhamdulillah for everything, got to spend Ramadhan and both EidulFitri and EidulAdha with my loved ones. Back to reality now.
I arrived on the 18th of Sept ard 11am and reached Irbid around 2pm plus. Stepping back on Jordan soil this time felt more familiar and I was less anxious even though my 3 month long break definitely was not a time of productivity. How am I going to go back into studying and reading?? Fast forward and now I'm in my second week of school....its quite relaxing since we just started and kinda excited to get back into the student life.
When we first reached here omg our house was super ridiculously dusty and I forgot how dry the weather was....my hands and feet were peeling and my nosed itched all the time. Didnt actually suffer from jetlag so much as we synced our bodies pretty fast to the timing here....maybe cause we just slept at night and woke up the next morning for subuh. Our house underwent major cleaning and re-arranging of furniture and now looks much better than previous sem.
Just now at school, I got my shoes stolen for like 20min and luckily that person put back my shoes at the same place I took them off. I was at the kuliah syariah musolla with my friends and we were about to go take wudhu when I coulnt find my shoes to go to the toilet. I was sooooo mad...like...they were quite expensive and it was a gift from my umi :( only had worn it for a few months. I had class after that at 1pm so that left me a few minutes to call a friend to send me a pair of shoes from home. Nasib baik rumah dekat juga and ade kawan kt rumah....only after I prayed zohor I found my shoes outside FORTUNATELY :) almost cried seh ugh mcm2 je org arab ni....
So far my professors are all good and I'm enjoying school...wait till exams start hah. Doakan ye! ;)
P.S
Cant wait for winter so I can wear my sweaters again :) thats all byeee xx
