that he gets used to the car seat and stroller before a longer journey
this weekend.<br />
<br />
My parents, confinement lady (kakak) and me sat
down at a restaurant and ordered our food. My son was sleeping soundly
in his stroller, placed just beside our table.<br />
<br />
While waiting for
our food, my father decided to take a walk in the mall. The rest of us
stayed behind, when I soon noticed one masculine waiter.<br />
<br />
He was
tall, wore earrings and his head was shaved by the sides and the rest of
his blonde hair was tied neatly into a ponytail. Soon I noticed that
this masculine waiter had a very strong, enthusiastic, WOMAN’s voice as
he/she served plates of food to other tables.<br />
<br />
Soon she brought
food to our table. As she was about to place the plates for us, she
accidentally kicked my son’s stroller. It was just a small kick, where
she proceeded to say ‘Eh ada baby!’ Me and my mother exchanged looks,
more to feeling ahhh it’s alright, as my son was still sleeping soundly
and it was basically a small matter.<br />
<br />
As she left our table, the only thought that crossed my mind was: “Ah, Allah sayangkan dia.”<br />
My post-partum brain (HAHA) was surprised at my own ‘reflex’ thought.<br />
<br />
It is something I automatically say when someone escapes my father’s protective (sometimes reasonable) nature.<br />
<br />
Had he been there, at the table with us to witness her to accidentally
kick my son’s stroller.. Well, be rest assured that some tables would at
least perform a somersault or two. Or someone would break out into a
fight or end up crying. Or we would leave the restaurant. Or.. You get
the idea <span class="_47e3 _5mfr" title="tongue emoticon"><span class="_7oe">:P</span></span><br />
<br />
Indeed, Allah loves her. Regardless of what society would like to label
her based on her appearance, Allah loved her enough to escape inciting
WW3 with my father yesterday XD<br />
<br />
Allah is indeed, the Most Merciful and the Most Loving <span class="_47e3 _5mfr" title="smile emoticon"><img alt="" class="img" height="16" role="presentation" src="https://www.facebook.com/images/emoji.php/v9/feb/2/16/1f642.png" width="16" /><span class="_7oe"></span></span><br />
<span class="_47e3 _5mfr" title="smile emoticon"><span class="_7oe"> </span></span> <br />
We who like to label others, how confident are we that Allah loves us more than the others?<br />
<br />
PS: To those who feel like outcasts and like you do not belong, remember that Allah is always there for you, and you DO belong, to Him :) <3 p=""><br />
Yours truly- It has been a while, dear blog. I have a son now! :D</3>ilianihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01808753445327125148noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062577734962042202.post-67152373417450810492016-01-19T04:06:00.001-08:002016-01-19T04:06:21.324-08:00I Got Hitched! :)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.! <br />
<br />
Ahh it has been a million years (kidding, perhaps about a year plus?) since my last blog here! I apologise for all the dust that had accumulated here :P<br />
<br />
I have been pretty busy the past year (definitely an interesting and blessed year, Alhamdulillah :D) as we all know that teachers ARE SO FREE RIGHT? 2015 was a crazy year, but indeed full of tests and blessing by Him :)<br />
<br />
The main reason why I stopped blogging tremendously over here was because I discovered instagram (as I do love to take pictures) and I don't really like the idea of sharing sharing everyting on Facebook. I love taking pictures, but it's mainly for my own memory keepsake :) As to the reasons why I blog here too! It's just for my own personal note-taking for my goldfish memory, as my lovely housemate once stated :P<br />
<br />
Anddd I'm the type of person who takes my blogs sort of like my artwork? Hence I really spend a lot of time writing my events and memories here, arranging the pictures to perfection (OCD sikit haha) and then only clicking 'post'. Hence the time and effort needed to blog is now a luxury to me. Instagram has helped me to keep my posts short (haha my ULTIMATE weakness!) and to also have a more private audience to share my pictures/posts with.<br />
<br />
Previously, I would not have minded at all for posting pictures and my life stories here, but ever since I became a teacher, my audience expanded. Well, not too much of course, but a number of my children are curious little kids :P Not forgetting the new communities I'm in as well XD<br />
<br />
I also share most of my kids' stories on Facebook, because I'd knew that those posts will at least enlighten someone's day, or give my friends a glimpse of the reality of our kids today.<br />
<br />
So once again, apologies for the lack of updates/posts :) I guess I have grown to have more human interaction too since I became a teacher, equals to less social media interaction (bunyi mcm forever alone tak? :P)<br />
<br />
Okay putting all seriousness and depressing notes aside, I GOT MARRIED! Alhamdulillah :)<br />
Truly, I am indeed blessed to have met my husband in the most funniest way possible XD Let's just say that I owe a lot to my dear friend from Minnesota. You know who you are! And I'm working to find you a wife too XD AMIN!<br />
<br />
Alhamdulillah all went well and we are officially husband and wife! :) *stories of the wedding journey and the reception... NOT SURE if I'd be posting it here or not but we'll see :P* <br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*Little sneak peaks of the Nikah :D*</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was actually not at my very best weight as all my diet plans failed due to my enormous love for FOOD :P I think many people were just simply very nice to me and never mentioned ANYTHING about my weight or chubbiness during the wedding reception :P Or perhaps my height sort of covered my extra bundles of joy? XD</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, returning back to school was when many people noticed. To be honest, I didn't gain weight because of the wedding! I gained some because my life became sedentary when I started invigilating SPM, while my food consumption remained as per normal (which is A LOT! Many people have a hard time believing I eat A LOT. I DO! Just ask my husband :P)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sooo of course, some of my colleagues start to relate my weight gain to 'tanda bahagia' or because of the wedding. No it is not I tell you! Haha :P But deep down inside, no girl would want to be told they have gained weight especially if they had weight and body issues before. Yg paling best is kids mmg lagilah takde penapis dekat mulut :P I forgive youuu you terrible little child! XD</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Alhamdulillah, Allah had enlighten my heart yesterday :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I stayed back after school as we had a meeting for Merentas Desa, then it was the practice for the event itself so I stayed in school (malas nak balik ulang-alik) until it was like 5.30pm. So imagine the amount of oil on my face I could use to goreng karipap and nuggets :P</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But before I managed to get to my car, two of my ex-students (I unfortunately am not teaching them this year! They are in Form 5 :( ) Approached me and asked me about my wedding. They wanted to see pictures too, so I showed them perhaps only 3 pictures, because they wanted to see my HUSBAND HAHA :P </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As they looked at the pictures, they said 'Teacher, IS THAT YOU??' and I don't remember how many times I said 'Ahhh it's because of the makeup!' Since I don't wear any makeup (only on super special occasions, like getting married XD and when I have the mood on weekends?) I told them it's the makeup that was making me look different. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The boys started complimenting on how pretty I looked, that I looked like a princess in red for my reception and that my husband was a lucky man. Really, how can you not smile at their super sincere and honest comments? :) I did try to ask them, why is he lucky? They were like of course lucky teacher! Teacher so kind, caring and pretty! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One boy also actually tried to kipas2 himself and catch his breath after looking at the pictures in disbelief. HAHAHA So cute lah youuu XD </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One thing I remembered clearly was when I tried to justify that my makeup made me look different, one boy actually told me 'But teacher, teacher with no makeup already pretty!'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You have no idea how both of you made my day :') Alhamdulillah. Indeed Allah hears your little insecurities and make you happy through the most mysterious ways. </div>

<div style="padding: 5px;">
Gosh, it had been agess since the last time I updated my blog. Definitely LOADS of things had happened so far. I'm gonna have to depend on my pictures to help recall all these stories XD</div>
So based on the pictures above:<br />
- New baju raya was last-minute; I received it a day before I went back to Subang! And I managed to accidentally find a matching skirt for my baju haha weird enough but truly grateful :)<br />
-Dapat Raya with besties!! Both of them came to my house with their families :) Thank you so much! <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
- Got a new phone with my sis; mainly because her old phone was dying on her and I had always had a crush on Xperia Sony phones :P And knowing the mengada me, I had to get golden stickers/skin for it and a wonderful transparent cover!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
I know that this blog is supposed to be a place for me to record only those sweet memories and events that have happened, but maybe just this once I should place a little bit of complaint :P<br />
<br />
Sometimes people think that I lead a very happy, wonderful and problem-free life. Well, just because not everyone are the type to post their WHOLE life stories on social media, doesn't mean that they do not face challenges as well. And didn't Allah mention it in the Qur'an as well? He will not just place iman in the believers and not test them. Allah loves those He tests :) (amin!)<br />
<br />
Okay just to keep things short, everything that could go wrong in this week or two did go wrong haha XD Gosh, all from losing our important props for drama, exam scores that you just have no power of controlling to getting a low number for a project I'm working on. I wonder if some people are aware that they actually break your heart by doing what they do.<br />
<br />
But Alhamdulillah, Allah shows His mercy and Love in the most mysterious ways :) Aside from feeling that my uterus was about to fall out, I was questioned by someone that I thought would actually throw a million knives and hit me and other innocent bystanders haha XD But instead, encouraging words and wisdom were shared to the floor. Okay, some tricks were involved but Alhamdulilah! I was completely taken by surprised to be gaining support when I was expecting disaster, tragedy and mayhem.<br />
<br />
Tambah2 lagi uterus mcm nak jatuh tercabut tergolek. But now that I thought back about it, the pain and cramps actually help me take my focus off the recent failures and instead, be focused on the pain haha :P At least it helped me not to shed tears during the QnA. I think had I not had my uterus menari2 secara salah in my body, I might have cried like a baby :P<br />
<br />
Alhamdulillah, thank you oh Allah for the strength (or pain haha) that You've blessed me with. Everything is definitely under Your plans, and You know Best :)<br />
<br />
To a nice holiday re-strategizing and resting too. Not giving up just yet! :)ilianihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01808753445327125148noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062577734962042202.post-90240080817713748122014-05-23T09:54:00.000-07:002014-05-23T09:54:16.603-07:00I'm 24Being hit by a lot of work lately, I felt like I was about to drown until..<br />
<br />
*A day before my birthday*<br />
<br />
Student randomly asked: Teacher, tomorrow is your birthday right? I REMEMBER!<br />
(Awww so sweet! And I thought people forgot :P) <br />
<br />
*on my birthday*<br />
<br />
During EXAM:<br />
Student raises hand to call me during exam. She then proceeds to whisper..<br />
<br />
'Teacher, happy birthday..' And smiled.<br />
<br />
And thennn a few other students did the same. I was like 'thank you but shhhh do your exam XD'<br />
<br />
Some of them even got me presents. And tudungs! I was deeply touched :')<br />

Also got an unexpected dinner treat by my collab yay! Thank you :)<br />
<br />
After EXAM:<br />
So our school always has this sambutan Bulan Kelahiran, where they will announce the attributes of the people born in that particular month, call the teachers born in that particular month to come up stage to receive a birthday card and later cut the cake together.<br />
<br />
As the teacher was reading the attributes for March babies, the things that stuck out the most were: Baik, penyabar, penyayang, tetapi KELAM KABUT dalam mencari pasangan.<br />
<br />
I burst into laughter on that one. Memang tak boleh tahan betol! XD<br />

Long overdue post, I know. I have been super duper busy with the kids, drama practice, exam, lecturer observations, personal life (if I actually still have any left haha) etc etc...<br />
<br />
Insya-Allah, will try to post more things here before I actually forget them. Gah memoryyy XD But so far, Alhamdulillah for everything that has happened. Thank you Allah for giving me a chance to live up till today, even though I am far from deserving of so much of Your love, blessings and mercy. I put my Faith in You :')<br />
<br />
Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah.<br />
<br />
Till next time!<br />
<br />
Salam :)<br />

When I looked at the current number that they were serving, it showed that I had to wait for more than 10 people in line to go ahead of me; my number was 1129.<br />
<br />
Since I wasn't in a rush, I just sat down to wait for my turn.<br />
While waiting, I took out my Sejarah textbook and workbook because yes, I am a teacher haha XD<br />
<br />
Because I was working on the workbook (you see, I can't just read the textbook or I'll fall asleep), my head was facing downwards when something happened. I suddenly heard a man's voice saying "Nah dik." and I looked up immediately to see a piece of paper right in front of me.<br />
<br />
Me being so surprised (and blur) at that moment, I think I said 'ah?' in reply while taking the paper from the man who was probably in his late 30s or early 40s. He simply head out of the post office after I took the paper. <br />
<br />
When I looked at the paper, it was numbered 1124. I guess it was his number and maybe he tak jadi nak do whatever he wanted to do at the post office? XD<br />
<br />
I thought it was strange of him to give it to me because there were quite a lot of other people in the room who came earlier and he could have given it to them. But Alhamdulillah, he gave it to me and I get to reach my turn earlier :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-78NzPQfVJOs/Usfxfg8ZD9I/AAAAAAAAEg4/OH1RKMkaCdE/s1600/20131231_182609.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-78NzPQfVJOs/Usfxfg8ZD9I/AAAAAAAAEg4/OH1RKMkaCdE/s320/20131231_182609.jpg" width="240" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
It could be that he simply saw me as the last person to come in at that moment before he left and that is why he passed on his paper to me. But whatever the reason is, I was truly grateful for his random act of kindness, and also for Allah for showering me this little mercy which made me so happy ^v^<br />
<br />
Alhamdulillah :) And thank you pakcik for your kindness! :))<br />

<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_iHRUMOaxis/UqE9aMjfDYI/AAAAAAAAEfU/issIrVtadLw/s1600/Pocahontas-Meeko-disney-leading-ladies-18561456-500-299.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="191" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_iHRUMOaxis/UqE9aMjfDYI/AAAAAAAAEfU/issIrVtadLw/s320/Pocahontas-Meeko-disney-leading-ladies-18561456-500-299.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Pocahontas was one of my favourite Disney movie back when I was little.<br />
<br />
I would watch the movie over and over again, sneakily watch Pocahontas 2 (putting in the CD into the VCR and quickly taking it out again when my parents came back home haha XD) And of course, during my early days of drawing, she was one of the inspiration for my cartoon characters.<br />
<br />
- aka I would always draw my main characters living in a forest, always so animal-friendly XD-<br />
<br />
Back in those days, I didn't really thought about what made me so attracted to this particular movie and character.<br />
Now that I am reaching my 24th birthday (Alhamdulillah. Yes, I am already old), while listening to the conversations going around in class among my peers, they were debating on which favourite Disney movie they liked.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-A49Fg1T5-Z0/UsfMqymMC0I/AAAAAAAAEgg/gM40QRO4P6Y/s1600/Pocahontas_01.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-A49Fg1T5-Z0/UsfMqymMC0I/AAAAAAAAEgg/gM40QRO4P6Y/s320/Pocahontas_01.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Some said Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, Pocahontas, etc.<br />
<br />
To be honest, when I remembered Pocahontas and Mulan in my mind, I did not remember them as 'Disney movies'. I remembered the stories, the characters, the amazing music (which I admit I did try to sing :P)<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/TkV-of_eN2w" width="420"></iframe><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
*the music back in the days are soooo much better and deep compared to today's music. Just listen to the lyrics!* </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
I remembered the essences of the movie. The word 'Disney' was one of the last words that came to mind. <br />
<br />
I was definitely devastated when I found out the true history of the real Pocahontas. With that being into my knowledge, I still missed and loved the fantasy version of the story within the movie and still hold her as one of my favourite cartoon characters.<br />
<br />
After coming across a few Youtube videos on the making of Pocahontas, and getting a praise that relates me to Pocahontas (which gave me a hugee smile on my face because I really loved Pocahontas :D) then I finally realised why I loved her and the movie so much.<br />
<br />
The character Pocahontas was portrayed as very mature, intelligent, exciting person but poised at the same time. She was not those childish characters who waited for her prince to save her, or was sheltered in a castle (she lived in a forest and knew the terrain well!) And of course, because she was also beautiful at the same time even though she is not white; which is what Asians (or Malaysians at least) hold to as being beautiful. Just look at all the beauty adds of whitening cream and you'll understand what I mean.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
THIS is why I was so attracted to her even when I was a child :) I didn't know about it back then, but now I finally do, which is a new self-discovery for me :)<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
*Me and my AWESOME collab :D*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
*copied from my FB status; modified just a little bit :)*<br />
<br />
17 of November 2013 marks the end of my first year of teaching! Alhamdulillah, and HOORAAY! :D<br />
Thanks to all who have given me support, advice and encouragement throughout the year! Especially to Him, my family, friends and Definitely my AMAZING collab Farihah :) Couldn't have done it without you! Thank you for listening to my ranting especially when some kids demands a slap from us haha Thank God we didn't! XD<br />
<br />
Time really flies sooo quickly, even though within the year we did felt like it was FOREVER (aaahh cepatlah weekend. But then, weekend ni ade PGDE. Ade LADAP. Ade extra class. Ade.. I WANT TO SLEEP) But then again, when we had our celebratory dinner, we felt like wow, the year is over already! :) (and we made it, somehow. haha XD)<br />
<br />
What I felt when I started the year teaching English and Sejarah form 4 was anxiety, excitement, nervousness, optimism and so many more emotions bundled up together! I completely had no clue on how to teach Sejarah (History) because it was my LEAST favourite subject in school. Andd thenn I realized that teaching language is no easy task either; you may be able to speak a language fluently, but teaching it is a whole new level!<br />
<br />
I honestly felt like we were being given a dagger, and maybe a biscuit-tin's lid as a shield and being thrown into a battlefield hearing the leader saying 'Okay go fight the ENEMIES! Goodbye now!' WHAT WHAT WAIT!!! XD <br />
<br />
It's definitely a DO or DIE situation (well not that dramatic perhaps). With a dagger and a biscuit-tin's lid as a shield, you learn to fight by upgrading your weaponry, and constantly adapting to the environment. Learning the moves of your opponent. Learning how to create new weapons and shields to increase your offense and defense.<br />
<br />
That, is what a teacher does.<br />

Well, that is what a passionate and dedicated teacher does. (silalah terasa bahaha) Teaching is NEVER the same, and you constantly change the way you teach, what you teach, and it even differs between classes, within A DAY! Everyday is a new battle, a new strategy. In a day, your success and failures, your emotions are constantly on a roller-coaster ride. You might feel like 'I pulled it off just now! Alhamdulillah :)' in one class, and then when you walk into another class you go 'WHY U KIDS NO LISTEN??'<br />
<br />
Going into teaching, my respect for my school teacher sky-rocketed. Teachers are definitely UNDERRATED! With so many things aside from teaching the wonderful-sometimes-horrible kids that the teachers have to do, they even have time to go back home, cook EVERYDAY for their children, send them to school, take care of them when they are sick, etc. I don't even have a family yet and I couldn't even find some time for myself!<br />
Thank you so much for teaching me for all those years, my dear teachers :)<br />
<br />
Long and behold, I noticed that Sejarah was actually easier to teach compared to English because it was content-based. Anddd I am still almost absolutely CLUELESS on how to teach English effectively! (well, time to do research over these few weeks! XD)<br />
<br />
I could go on and on about all the experiences I have gained throughout the year, but there are definitely a few ups and downs during the year;<br />
<br />
DOWNS:<br />
- There are still a few kids who skips classes, who seldom comes to school. And because of that they are behind their studies.<br />
- I have yet to be able to completely control my roudy-naughty class or kids.<br />
- A fight did break out in one of my classes which I could have prevented had I been more attentive.<br />
- There are a WHOLE bunch of kids who are absolutely compliant, they do all their work, they do not cause any ruckus or disruption in class, but still could not pass their exams :'( *heart-broken*<br />
- Then there are these other bunch of kids who are smart and capable of so much more. Because they skip classes, do not come to school often, they could not do as well as they should in exams or even in class :(<br />
- Still getting empty papers for History exam. T_T (though not many, but still..)<br />
- Watching a few intelligent kids start to laze around because of his friends. Wasting his true potential and perhaps his future :'(<br />
<br />
UPS:<br />
- Other teachers in school are very supportive, and shares SO MANY valuable experiences and strategies I could use for my classes :)<br />
- It might have been tough, but kids are starting to speak in English regardless of the funny mistakes XD<br />
- Kids laugh at me when they hear me say certain things in English which sounded funny to them. And theennn they start to say it too. ISH! :P<br />
- I am taken completely by surprise when kids start to tell me: cikgu ajar Sejarah best! Senang faham! (it's fun when YOU teach History! We understand well :D) -WHAT SORCERY HAVE I DONE?? (but still, Alhamdulillah XD)<br />
- There is a quite reprimanding and pessimistic culture within the kids, where if they were rooting for their friends in a sports competition, they would reprimand the other team to bring their morale down. But when my collab and I started shouting positive encouragement to OUR team, the kids start to follow almost INSTANTLY. *One or two person could make all the difference :)*<br />
- On one of those days when I have COMPLETELY lost my voice, and I still came to school to teach (using body language alone to teach, btw), I stepped into my most roudy History class which had a lot of boys. Anticipating a complete failure and a out-of-control class because I did not have my voice, I still started teaching.<br />
To my surprise, the ROUDY and LOUD boys KNEW all the class procedures and how I would usually teach, and STILL participated even without the presence of my voice: I wrote down the questions on board (I usually just ask with my VOICE :P) and they write the answer on the mini whiteboards. After the count of ten, they lift the answers up. If they get it right, their group gets a point. Most of them are in their seats, answering questions. And to my surprise, one of the most roudy kids (who sometimes walk around in class WHILE I TEACH) came up front and even helped me to read out the questions, knowing that I lost my voice :') This boy even helped me throughout the class to get the class's attention when they sometimes start to lose their focus.<br />
*Teacher WIN with student's help :')*<br />

*Happily playing BEFORE an exam. XD*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
- Some students who usually sleeps through the exam, or did not do the English essays because it is too hard for them stays awake throughout exams, tries to write as much as possible. Kids start to tell me that they had ideas, but was only able to write a paragraph because there was not enough time or they had a hard time translating. Even then, they are starting to TRY and not just throw the paper away and give up. :')<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
*ahh silly little kids. Me love you anyways :D*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
- Remember that kid who walks around while I teach History? He did not do well in his History end of year exam, but to my surprise, ALL his answers (even though incorrect) were still IN CONTEXT. Compared to his peers who wrote nonsense like BN and PAS for pengaruh politik di dalam piagam Madinah, his answers were still logical and within the History scope! *There's still hope :')*<br />
- Kids from my English classes still wants me to teach them next year (because there's a possibility that we might not get the same bunch of kids *cries*) despite me being CLUELESS in their classes :P <br />
- Those kids who are very quiet and complacent students in class, actually told me that 'cikgu kalau cikgu tak ajar tahun depan kita mogok, rebel, tunjuk perasaan!' Another very SWEET student told me that she would write a letter to the principal or the MOE department if I do not teach her next year. *WHAT HAVE I DONE? XD*<br />

- Kids sighing or started to panic when I said I might not teach them next year. Some even said 'Humph klu camtu CONFIRM FAIL' ahhh you silly little kids. I still love you though XD<br />
- Some kids in 4K1 class (which is one of the back classes) actually scored BETTER in kids in the upper classes! GOOD JOB KIDS! :D<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
*They passed Sejarah! HOORAYY!! XD*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

- Witnessed a 10-25 marks increase in History for one of my classes when they compared their marks to their mid-year exam. Happy teacher is happy :')<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
*They got keychains from LONDON due to their increase! :D* </div>
<br />
All in all, I am still LEARNING and improving my offense and defense :) Teaching is also a learning process in itself.<br />
I am honestly excited and looking forward to my second year of teaching! There is so much room for improvement, and so many more things to explore and knowledge to gain :) Insya-Allah, I will do my best for the upcoming year.<br />
<br />
Thank you kids for this wonderful year :') <br />

My funny, kind, talented and cheerful friend finally tied the knot! :D<br />
<br />
Imagine knowing your best friend of your childhood days (well when I was in high school, not too young haha) has finally grown up!<br />
<br />
Got a chance to meet him and his gf (now WIFE! :D) before I flew to the States 6 years back *OMG*, and have yet to meet them after I got back until they tied the knot. Gosh, how the world works is truly amazing :)<br />
<br />
So happy to see that both of them are extremely happy with smiles on their faces! :D Am glad to also see that he is successful :') God is indeed Great! :)<br />
<br />
Alhamdulillah! May the both of you achieve happiness and blessings from Him until Jannah! :D<br />

Assalamualaikum w.b.t. :)<br />
<br />
So today I was teaching my kids how to write a speech. And for them to remember the format, I got them to do a short speech on any random things they want to share. Some of them shared about their ruler, pencil box, best friend and even wife! Hahaha XD It was definitely hilarious when some random things happen today and yesterday:<br />
<br />
- One boy was talking about his friend's ruler and was holding the ruler. Because he was sort of nervous, he actually broke his friend's ruler in two! XD<br />
- One boy looked out the window to get inspiration during his speech! It was like an awkward 10 seconds stare outside of class <br />
- A lot of girls talked about their best friends<br />
- One boy talked about whiteboard; said I was LAZY because I had a mahjong paper up. I WROTE on the mahjong paper laahhh XD<br />
- One shyyy boy spoke in fair sentences but was smiling a lot. I like you! :D<br />
- One girl who rarely speaks in class actually talked about her friends; even pointed out her friends who laughed very LOUDLY in class hahaha :P<br />
<br />

<i>*the mother of 12 :P*</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i> </i> </div>
Little did they know about my update, I decided to share my story with them :)<br />
<br />
*of course I told them okay, but this is a secret! XD*<br />
<br />
I shared a short-version on how I got engaged, who he was and how it ended. While I was sharing my story, one girl had to go to the restroom and her friends were like 'You go awayyy quicklyy teacherr sambung teacherr' hahaha XD Yes, my roudy little kids were giving 100000% attention to my story XD<br />
<br />
After I ended my story with advices to my dear little kids, to my surprise they were so very supportive! Some of the words of encouragement they gave were;<br />
<br />
- Teacher, be strong!<br />
- Teacher, I'm sorry... *me: err it's not your fault hahaha XD*<br />
- Teacher, are you okay?<br />
- Don't worry teacher! A lot of.. other people! <br />
- Teacher, don't worry! I HAVE A BROTHER!<br />
my reply: I DOWAN YOUR BROTHER hahahahaa XD<br />
<br />
both boys and girls actually said really nice things to support me, even though I told them that I was okay and that I was the one who ended it as I know it was the best for both of us.<br />
<br />
*and believe it or not, two BOYS noticed that I changed my ring and no longer wore the golden ring. BOYS I TELL YOU*<br />
<br />
- the girls were basically ASTONISHED when I told them the ring I was wearing was RM21 (or RM29.. I can't remember. Bad memory kicks in) They said 'TEACHER BUT IT LOOKS SO EXPENSIVE!' hahaha oh kidss XD <br />
<br />
To add to my surprise, one girl who is quite close to me and my collab actually came to me after her English extra class and said to me "Teacher, I have something to ask you..."<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>*during their extra class: shy shy cat*</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i> </i> </div>
And after overcoming her shyness (kononnya haha) she said teacher, is it true? Anddd apparently she was SUPER worried and felt sorry for me, and said I looked like I wanted to cry when I told them my story in class. *I am HONESTLY okay, I wonder how I actually looked like when I was telling the story XD*<br />
<br />
I told her that I am completely okaayy and yes it is true haha XD Even after talking to her and assuring her I am okay, she decided to talk to my collab to 'take care of Miss Iliani' hahaha XD<br />
<br />
According to Farihah, it was as though 'the world has ended' from the way she was telling Farihah that I am definitely not okay and she really is worried about me (she felt sad too) and asked my collab to jaga me basically. Said Miss Iliani tipu jer tu dia ckp dia okay XD<br />
<br />
Hahahaa ohh dear kids, your support and innocent love really touches me :) Thank you so much! <br />
<br />** Of course nobody would want things to go badly, but when things happen you deal with it. If you fall, you pick yourself up from the ground and move on. And I truly believe there is always, ALWAYS a blessing in disguise :)<br />

Had fun driving back alone again from Kamunting! :) trick to have things your way: do it first thennn inform :p
Was a little bit sleepy so I stopped at tapah. Remembered that mama liked the big melon which until today I cannot remember the name XD
After that still felt sleepy but alhamdulillah slamat sampai :)<br />

<i>*Mama looks BEAUTIFUL, and I look TEMBAM :P*</i> </div>
<br />
Managed to go to the bazaar here in subang once but then I found myself buying nasi lemak from a humble stall compared to other grand stalls available: might be that I am already so accustomed to kamunting environment. How fascinating is the human capability to adapt! :)<br />
<br />
Raya as usual was busy with relatives and friends coming over and layaning them XD alllll the cooking and cookies were done by mama. We just helped to serve itupun with close and strict monitoring from mommy dearest :p<br />

Other than feeling happy that I managed to finish marking papers early, I also felt happy about falling sick (yes believe it or not :p)
It's because I had a terrible sore throat at the end of ramadhan and I didn't tell mama. So long and behold my sister kindly gave salt water, panadol, antibiotics and succulent which she bought later along with manyy manyyy advices like 'gargle this water and eat this 2 biji blablablabla' nonnstopp until I got better :p<br />

English is also not bad as well, but has less structure compared to Sejarah (which we follow the textbook 100%) so sometimes we have this like uuuhhh what should I do tomorrow?? But for the KIDS! I TRY MY BEST INSYA-ALLAH!! :D</div>

So yeaahh PGDE classes has begun as well. Quite tiring because it takes up your Saturday, and the downside of being a part-time student you have to do assignments (a BUNDLE of them!) over the week before the deadline, when you still have stuff to do with your kids and school! </div>

*First time at KOMTAR! :D*</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So it was a few years back (or maybe longer?) that papa actually went to Komtar as it was.. NOTE: WAS :P a shopping complex before so he brought me there. Unfortunately it was already one of those old complexes which are about to be extinct due to new shopping malls around the area; the latest and most popular one seems to be the one in Queen's Bay XD But we did manage to buy some very nice t shirts and cardigan! (well for me at least :P) </div>

But if it was a marriage ceremony and that we had a date fixed already, we would definitely be more than happy to tell all our loved ones of this happy occasion ASAP! :) <br />
<br />
We decided to announce our engagement after really discussing thoroughly about it, and if we should or should not do it. (the engagement was very very informal, and it happened in the most simplistic way possible! Which was what I really wanted, Alhamdulillah :D) - you could also say that it came as a surprise? hihihi whatever it is I hope that everything else will be under His guidance and blessings, insya-Allah! :')<br />
<br />
In the end, we knew (insya-Allah) that there are <b>more pros than cons </b>if we were to announce it to our friends, compared to not announcing it (which had more cons than pros) hence our announcement/declaration :)<br />
<i>Insya-Allah, niat kita is really because of this. Not because we want to menunjuk2 or show off to anyone ya? Minta maaf in advance kalau ada yang tersinggung atau terasa, we really have no intention in doing so :(</i><br />
<br />
We plan to work at least a year or two before settling down. Insya-Allah, we can plan all we want, but ultimately He decides what is for us in the end :) He is the All-Knowing, the Merciful :)<br />

- Before the training, TFM gave us a few assignments to work on and one of it was to organize an event with a low-income community/just volunteer :) So I've decided to to revisit RACTAR and Alhamdulillah Encik Dzul was very supportive of me spending time with the girls! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So on the 30th of September 2012, I organized an event called 'Change Begins from Within' with about 38 girls! :D ranging from 5 years old to 17! :) So it was my first time actually spending a few hours with a lot of girls at one time! Alhamdulillah it went well :) There were a few challenges, but Alhamdulillah we managed to still pull it off! :D</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I managed to do some fun activities with them; Ice Breaking and personality tests. But then I also had the chance to talk to the girls about topics that I know are very relevant to the girls; education, about personal beauty, how to appreciate what we have, when to compare ourselves with others and when not to, about hijab and also to always have good thoughts about other people and Allah :) Alhamdulillah the girls were very cooperative and I do understand when some of them started to fall asleep during the more serious topics hahaha XD But I will definitely improve my teaching methods to not let them lose interest in the future, insya-Allah! :D</div>

*A lot of positive feedbacks!! Alhamdulillah :')*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At the end of it all I gave them a short survey for them to give any feedbacks about the program; I do want to know what they think about it :) There were both positive and negative feedbacks, but I could say that Alhamdulillah most of it are positive feedbacks! :D Thank you so very much girlss :)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Some of them even asked me if I was coming back to see them. AAhhhh this is why I didn't want to get too attached to themm :'(</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Thank you so much to Encik Dzul for the opportunity, and thank you lovely girls of RACTAR for willing to be my first ever 'students' :)) Thank you to my wonderful assistant of the day too! Without you handling the cute little young girls I would have had a bigger challenge conducting my sessions XD </div>

Assalamualaikum wbt :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's been about 2 months that I have since reached home, and spending lots and lots of time with my family and friends. Many did ask me what I was doing before I start my work (training actually) in October; I guess they were thinking that I was either job hunting or doing some part-time work somewhere to kill my free time. But I just told them that yeah I am spending time with my family and friends, also enjoying my holiday :) I've been away from home for quite some time ya? :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So yeah, other than eating A LOT before puasa, I enjoyed Ramadhan very much too hihi :) Alhamdulillah!! :D -First time ever finishing reading the whole Qur'an during Ramadhan!! ALHAMDULILLAHH :'') Insya-Allah will continue doing this for the future Ramadhans!! Insya-Allah!! :) </div>

<br />
So sometime around at the end of last year, I suddenly realized that we were going to graduate soon and I wanted to do something for everyone to be able to cherish and remember their good times here in the States when they get back home :)<br />
<br />
Thenn I decided to write a song about Pennstate and perhaps our memories we have had during the time we were in States. Took a while for me to write the lyrics down. Took a longer time for me to come up with the melody. Took a MUCH MUCH longer time to actually record the voices, instruments and corrections here n there to finally get the FINAL version of the song T_T but Alhamdulillah after lots of hard work and help from friends (limited # of friends were involved, because I wanted this video to be a surprise for my friends :D) the video was finally completed!!! :D<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/YSkeSqShsb4" width="560"></iframe><br />
*Please read video description at the youtube page for more details XD*<br />
<br />
Well all in all I did try my best to include everyone but it was difficult to do so as this video is indeed supposed to be a surprise XD Sorry2 guyss!!! <br />
<br />
Special thanks to Izmer who helped A LOT to compile and edit the videos!! :D (sorry2 sbb kena meet up with my 'fasi' taste ahahaha XD) also to all the 'accidental' and 'intentional' actors weeeee u guys are the besttt!! XD Also thanks to Kian Hui for 'reviewing' the song earlier on because I really wanted him to play his flute (he's really good! :D) for the instrumental part, but alas the song had sharps and flats which was not possible for him to do :( <br />
<br />
Also special thanks to my dear instruments: my digital keyboard, 'telur' (bunyik kachik kachik), guitar and my WATER BOTTLE bahahahaha (for the 'drum' aka percussion part :P)<br />
<br />
Missing Pennstate(r's) already. Hope we meet again someday, insya-Allah :')<br />
<br />
Lots of love,<br />
- Iliani :) <3 XOXO<br />

<br />
Anticipating for my flight back to Malaysia, I had about one more month to spend some time with my friends before leaving the States for good. Apart from Midwest Games and 'travelling', I spent the last few days with really good friends (like Lynn :D):<br />
<br />
- Spent some quality time with Kelly and her lovely friend Cindy! Talked a lot about religion and found out so many similarities between Christianity and Islam! :)<br />
<br />

- I was also VERY VERY lucky to be able to visit John's house at the countryside (aka kampung :P) of Pennstate! John was my art lecturer a during my freshman/sophomore year :) And he had invited me to go to his home for a veryyyy longgg time but I didn't get the chance to :( So I went to actually meet him for the last time at one of his art classes before going back; this was on Thursday, and we then made an arrangement to visit his home on Saturday! Which is ONE day before going back!!! XD Alhamdulillah!!! :) so very very happy to finally be able to visit his home :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We first visited his working studio, where all his artworks are brilliantly placed! Also to be noted that the renovations done on his studio was all done by him with the help of friendly neighbors/friends! XD (which looks super awesome!! XD)</div>

Well, I then left State College for good after properly running some errands like closing my bank account. Also buying Pennstate souvenirs haha XD I will miss you State College! Especially my dear friends that I have met over the last four years :) Please do keep in touch, and I apologize if I have done anything that might have wronged any of you in anyway. It is indeed my carelessness and clumsiness if I have done any harm :'( Truly I meant to hurt no one, I'm sorry if I did in anyway at all. Insya-Allah, I hope I have done more good than harm during my stay here in the States :) I will miss you all, and also I hope to not forget how I found Islam in this foreign country :') </div>

It's funny how it takes you so long to find something that has been so close to you and has always been there for you. Insya-Allah, I have found my love for You oh Allah, and also for Muhammad, peace be upon him :') And I pray to keep this love forever with me no matter what may come, amin :')</div>

<br />
So today I went to the Fresh Market with my friend Lynn! :) I wanted to meet up with her and have lunch or dinner before going back, but she kindly invited me to join her to go 'shopping' at the Fresh Market! :D She then came over with her husband and two ADORABLE dogs to pick me up and we went to the market! :D<br />
<br />
*thankfully she knew about me n dogs so she let me sit in front awayyy from the dogs hahaha XD*<br />
<br />
The market was a very small decent market :) Just like the pasar tani or pasar malam back in Malaysia! But it is wayyy bigger and there are much more stalls in those pasars compared to the ones at this market XD So I just accompanied Lynn to get some vegetables and ground beef :) She also got some cookies, bread and pizza too!<br />
<br />
At the stall where she asked for ground beef, the guy was also selling wooden accessories! I.e. earrings, rings and pendants or keychains :) They looked really pretty and nice! :D<br />
<br />I don't remember exactly how, but Lynn ended up introducing me to him by saying "She just graduated!" and the guy looked at me and said oh really?? (I think? BAD MEMORY KICKS IN T_T) I think he then asked me where I was from, and I said 'Malaysia' and all of a sudden he held out his hand and introduced himself as Jessie. I (surprised) introduced myself back as Iliani. And then Lynn said 'She's gonna be going back this weekend!' and then Jessie suddenly said 'Aww that's too bad!'<br />
<br />
I just laughed and smiled :D then we headed off and I said nice meeting you!<br />
<br />
*This is the first time that an American guy (or so you may think he is American; STEREOTYPE kicks in!) actually said something like that to me, introducing himself first too! And he wasn't that bad too wahahahhahaa *okie okie behave* :P well at least he had a nice smile! XP<br />
<br />
(Thank you Allah for making me happy today for that 1 minute hihihihi :D)<br />
<br />
Lynn wanted to watch the cooking-demo the had in the center of the market, but then we had to go back early because they can't just leave her dogs out for too long (her husband walked the dogs while she bought groceries :D)<br />
<br />
I then ended up spending the evening+having dinner at her place, because I really had no plans this evening and Lynn didn't mind having me yayyyy! :D We talked a lot, and dinner was delicious!! :D Tankiu2 Lynnnn for the great dinner you made me!! :)<br />
Also while chit-chatting, one of her dogs really came close to me; wanting me to pat her (it's a she XD) and after a while since I couldn't pat her, I started walking around the house and she followed me awwwwwwww SUPER DUPER CUTE!!!! XD XD too bad I couldn't pat herr aaaaaaaaa XD<br />
<br />
But I did have to 'wash' my socks and jeans later on because she would always langgar2 my jeans adoi2 XD and there was this once I was standing in the kitchen, and the other dog came into the kitchen; he wanted to go to Lynn initially, but then when Lynn opened the hot oven he backed-up (or GOSTAN :P) suddenly and his BUTT terlanggar me huwaaaa XD<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Alhamdulillah, my friends and I managed to attend the Midwest Games 2012 in Illinois University! :D As this was my last Midwest Games before heading back to Malaysia, I just really wanted to spend time with my friends and ultimately to give moral support to those who were participating :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So we set off our 12-hour road trip on Friday evening, one of the last cars to depart because one of my friend had an exam that evening, so we just went right after :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I only took over my friend from 12 midnight and drove up till 5am, which is already in time for our morning prayer (Subuh) :D unfortunately I am used to driving at night when we travel because I am one of those who do not have those 'glare' from car's lights during the night~ and yes that is when everyone is 'sleepy' :P but thank you sososo much to my co-drivers who tersengguk2 because trying not to fall asleep! terharu ni sob3 T^T</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Alhamdulillah we arrived safely at Red Roof Inn, and also running up to our room because we thought we were going to miss the morning prayer, when we forgot that we had to turn our clocks back an hour hahaha XD </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Soon it was the second day of midwest, and we were mostly having finals on certain games like soccer, tennis, tarik tali etc etc :) I was initially cheering for the guys in soccer, but had to leave early because there was a rehearsal for the closing ceremony's performance :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mind you it was SUPER HOT that afternoon! I could even see those 'heat waves' across the soccer field which you would usually see on car's engines!! O_o And yes, sun-burned I am XD</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well the rehearsal didn't go so well because there was A LOT that the technical group was working on in the hall, so we didn't really got to start the rehearsal on time. But Mei San ran us through on our performance and where to stand and all, and we also spent time fixing our borrowed lion heads and apparels; we were THIS CLOSE (imagine finger gesture :P*) to NOT performing that night because in order to bring our drum and the lion heads would need us to rent an SUV, which would cost us a fortune :( Thankfully we managed to borrow the drums and the lion heads!! :D Alhamdulillah!! :D All we needed to do was to bring the gong and cymbals, drum stand and also drum sticks and ourselves :P oh and the lion pants too!! XD</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The lionheads were a little bit smaller, which was a challenge for Que and Bryan, but they managed to pull it off wonderfully! :D (with literally NOT much practice at all with the new heads!) Well we did manage to sort off 'practice' outside the hall before our performance :) Mind you we were the LAST performance of the day! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I did manage to catch a few early performances before heading out to have a short practice, and they were all good! :D </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
It was definitely fun to perform for the last time before going back, Alhamdulillah we managed to get a chance to do so :') And being the only cymbalist left, I had to play 3x more harder and loudly untill my hands hurt n caused me to kantoi2 here n there opssss sorry2!! XD but ultimately everyone still loved our performance!! Alhamdulillah XD</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Right after we finished performing, we had to quickly carry the drums out of the stage and the lions also exit the stage through the back. Unfortunately, since the backstage was super dark and somehow the lions were heading my way without realizing it and I was still carrying the drum (or baru nak put it down rather) I slipped and tergolek back stage wahahaha XD thankfully I wasn't hurt no worries! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After the ceremony ended we headed out and met with other old old friends to say our goodbyes, and took a few pictures :)</div>

<br />
We headed home on Monday, but dropped by Chicago for a while to have lunch at KFC (which has halal chicken!!! XD) and then went to Aurora outlet before going back to State College :) I managed to get a WEARABLE high heels and also a handbag! :)<br />
<br />
I almost NEVER wear any high heels because my mama wouldn't let me; she said I will have a hard time getting a boyfriend because then I would be too tall :P Well I think that is not relevant anymore! XD I got the heels from Naturalizer, which is known for it's comfortable shoes, which is TRUE! And I got my heels for like 20 something after discount; it was originall 79.99!! :D<br />
<br />
I also managed to get a Kate Spade handbag below 200!! :D and it is super big too, can fit my laptop in it!! XD so it'll be very useful for me to bring lots n lots of stuff!! XD<br />

Well after the accidental purchases, (:P) we headed back home and was expecting to arrive in State College at about 7am. Since I was going to drive the last few hours, so I slept first while my friends drove the car. Then around 11pm, our car suddenly hit something with a huge THUD and I woke up immediately from my sleep and asked what did we hit?? They said a small animal suddenly jumped into the middle of the road, and my friend who was driving wasn't able to avoid it in time. Soon after that we heard that something was being dragged under the car (okay starting to imagining horrifying scenes) then we decided we had to stop and checked the car.<br />
<br />
Thankfully we were very close to a gas station and stopped there. I was actually expecting blood or some sort in front and at the bottom of the car. Turns out the bottom front of the car was dented!! And when we looked nervously under the car, ALHAMDULILLAH we didn't see any dead animal :P but we did saw something from the bottom of the car hanging out of place; causing the dragging-sound. We knew we couldn't drive with that thing sticking out at the bottom of the car so my friend started calling the rental car to try to ask for help or solution.<br />
<br />
While waiting, a guy suddenly came up to us and said "Assalamualaikum" :D he then asked us if there was any problem (because we were all sitting by the car, looking at the car n sort of looked troubled I guess :P) and then we told him what happened, then he checked out the car and called another friend of his to help out.<br />

Turns out that the piece that was hanging from the bottom of the car was just the cover, and we could still drive the car without any worries. He and his friend also checked our engine and he said we are good Alhamdulillah! :) I was very skeptical at first, and asked him several times like 'R U SURE??' XD n then he said he is from Ohio, and they always hit animals there hahahhaa XD He said as long as we did not hit a dear, we are good XD</div>
