'Time is a double edged sword"
-As useful it can be to you , it can also cut yourself if you handle it wrongly-
Today is the last day of April already , though I just feel that 1st April is only like yesterday. That is what usually happened when your routines all the time are the same, I guess. Without you realizing it , a month already passed.
But, actually besides normal routines that I did this passed month, there are few interesting programs and events that took place that I'm involved in.
1. 10th April : Aqsa Syarif Europe Tour
- An event that took place in Hotel Turista's hall. The main objective of this program is to open the eyes
of every muslims about the real situation that occur in Palestine right now and how we can get involve
and give support to our fellow brothers and sisters over there. Lets pray for them, at least we can do
that, aren't we?
2. 15- 17th April : Sechenov Intervarsity Games
-An annual sport event for Malaysian students whose study at universities in Russia. Overall there are
7 team, each represent their universities. 3 of which from universities in Moscow including my university
(SMSU, RSMU, and MAI ). Others are from Volgo (VSMU), Nizhny (NMSU), Kursk (KSMU) and
St. Petersburg university. This year it's our uni's turn to become the host, and we come out as the
winner in overall medal tally with 7 golds and 6 silvers. By the way, I was chosen as substitute for
our takraw team as the real players are injured . What can you expect from a team which never even
once practiced before, of course we become the object of humiliation there.But, we play just to enjoy..hehe.
3. 20th April : Hitler's Birthday
- Don't misunderstand. We are not celebrating Hitler's birthday. Even he had killed or rather did
genocide on jews, that doesn't makes him a hero. What he had done to the jews still wrong
sinful in Islam. In Russia, especially in Moscow there are certain group which hold the ideology of
neo-nazism. They become active during Hitler's birthday. They will target foreigners or 'inostranets' ( in
russian) and attack them without any reasons. That is why our university gave us holidays from 19-21
April and advised us to stay in hostel to prevent any unwanted incident from happening . Yes, it is
indeed dangerous to study in Russia, but we can always take preventive measures.
That were the main events that took place in April. And now, the weather in Moscow is very good. Finally the true spring finally has arrive in Moscow after the long waiting. "Greenisation " process took place every where right now. I'm feeling very grateful to Allah for showing me how the plants begin their new cycle of life. I can see right now everywhere, new buds coming out from the tree branches , from the flowers, from the grasses... Subhanallah, so beautiful to see how it seem like they are just woke up from long sleep during autumn and winter and now ready to begin new life cycle. For sure it can be taken as a reminder from Allah of akhirat to us. How we will some day , awaken after the death to be judged by Allah of our responsibilities and our actions during our life...So,that's it for now .
p/s ; i also now begin as a amateur barber ..haha, so far 2 victims had offer their hair to be experimented.
