Back to School


Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...

Esok bermula sekolah musim Fall untuk kami di Vanderbilt. Harus ditekan terus ke gear drive, dan memecut dengan speed yang baik.

Didoakan hari2 seterusnya menjadikan semua lebih matang, cekal, dan kuat untuk hidup di bawah rahmat dan lindungan Allah s.w.t

Belajar dan da'wah... tidak pernah berhenti.

Selamat bersekolah!

Arabic class

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...

2 hari lagi semester summer 2nd half akan tamat. I took an independent study course and 2 arabic classes to finish the beginner level as my refreshments. InshaAllah will continue the intermediate level this Fall.

I think I learned a lot this summer, from personal things to academics stuffs. It's been filled out with lots of knowledge and experience.

Arabic class:
Earlier, my intention to take the beginner class was to refresh my arabic skills that I left 5-6 years ago. Alhamdullilah, it was a big start. Not only I learned the fushah, but also the Egyptian colloquial in every chapter. nice huh? But I like the fushah more... hehe...

Also, not only I learned Arabic, but the history and about other countries and religions too. We had 2 graduate students in Religious Studies major, and other students including an Iranian, and Americans - they're really great and shared what they know. Thanks guys!

-Juga, ada orang tanya tentang politik Malaysia, dan siapa yang saya sokong. Soalan best dari classmate saya yang concern dengan politik dunia.

Independent study:
InshaAllah tomorrow (or today, it's 12 am already) will be the last day. The graduate student that helps me will have a conference on Friday. Anyway, alhamdulillah I'm done (I think~) with 2 demos and the first demo works well. The second one, it has to be finalized today. Thanks to Prof Wilkes and Jonathan who introduced me with C++ using Linux and also playing with Skeeter. My first time using Linux, not so bad~

It's a whole summer of not studying (I'm not practically studying Arabic, I'm practicing Arabic =D). Hope I'll push the gear back up when Fall semester starts!

-balance out of seeking knowledge in both what your major and your religion. Islam perlukan orang-orang hebat seperti anda semua!-
