FASTING IN RAMADHAN
Fasting is another unique moral and spiritual characteristic of Islam. Literally defined, fasting means to abstain "completely" from foods, drinks, intimate intercourse and smoking, before the break of the dawn till sunset, during the entire month of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic year. Fasting Ramadan is compulsory upon every Muslim.
This is because,Fasting will:
-rest the digestive system
-allow for cleansing and detoxification of the body
-create a break in eating patterns, while shining a spotlight on them
-promote greater mental clarity
-cleanse and heal "stuck" emotional patterns
-lead to a feeling of physical lightness, increasing energy level
-promote an inner stillness, enhancing spiritual connection
I LOVE MALAYSIA!!
MERDEKA DAY is just around the corner.. Although this year's celebration might not as exciting and joyful as last year (it's due the the Eid celebration, where citizen might pay more attention to the raya-ing matters and the house-to-house visiting things), it doesn’t mean that we ignore the MERDEKA day.. From my point of view, I don't see a strong spirit to celebrate it among Malaysians (again.. it might due the spirits all went to the preparation of Raya celebration and some are concentrating more on oyher matters for e.g form 5 students are concentrating on their SPM trial examination).If you notice, there are lack of people who fly the Jalur Gemilangs. And also this year it is hard to find people try to get their names into the books of records by making the largest, longest, broadest, heaviest, highest, and all the other 'est'. Where is that spirit now?
As a citizen, we should celebrate the Merdeka day no matter what other important events happened at the same date, week or month of Merdeka Day.. I’m not interested to list about the importance of celebrating the Merdeka day here because as a responsible and rationale citizen, we should've known those. All of us should celebrate it. Students are included. Here are some of the suggestions how students should celebrate the Merdeka Day ;
1) Ask your parents and family members to put flags at their cars/motorcycles
2) Put flags outside your house (fence, tree, gate, pole etc)
3) Put many flags in your classroom
4) Watch patriotic movies (Bukit Kepong, Hati Malaya, Chinta etc)
5) Read books/ novels/ artworks on patriotism
6) Play patriotic songs (request for it on the radio)
2011 SPM TRIAL EXAMINATION
PMR TRIAL EXAMINATION
Exam is just for a short period,
But it requires efforts of many days and months,
The journey of
Tension,
Worries,
Efforts
And sleepless nights.
