Weekend !

People may like weekdays or maybe weekends.If you're me you'll ENJOY your weekend. I love weekends. I might have a lot of homework through out the weekend but as students we should enjoy our weekend. After FIVE days of studying, we must rest! That's the only time we can rest our mind from all the chaos that is happening in school.

I have plans for you :)

1) Sleep in

2) Have FUN!

3) Homework, as usual.

4) Go out, with my beloved family!

5) Eat out, no cooking during weekends, holiday for my Mama too!

6) or maybe I should cook. Pfft.. Let's think about that later.

7) Watch GREASE! Thanks to my friend, Fathiah for lending me her DVD :) Love you!

8) Read!

9) Sleep late!

Plans do change. We can only plan but we will never be sure it will happen. Enjoy your weekend and most importantly, 'Time is gold,' use your time wisely.

“For every minute spent in organising, an hour is earned.”

Our life's getting shorter

When we were born in this lovely world, our mom was the happiest person on earth. She carried us right after we were born although we were drenched in blood. Then, comes our dad, azan at our ears and let us listen the words of the Almighty Allah. Islam our religion till the day we die.

When we were at about 3 years old, we started to walk and fall. This reminds me of the song 'Mother.' 

"Cause who used to hold you 

and clean you,

and clothes you, 

who used to feed you and always be with you.

When you are sick stay up all night,

holding you tight.

That's right your mother, my mother."

I can see that this only happens when we were young. It will be awkward to see your mom clothes you if you're old like me now.Very weird. But it rarely happen. RARELY I'm telling you. Maybe 1% of adults does that.

Year by year passed,

At the age of 15, the teenage life.

Our life will turn upside down.

We'll start thinking about love. "Monkey love," I guess. Coupling, loitering, REMPIT-ing, bullying and a lot of other things. We will try to do things that is out of our mind. We can see most cases nowadays, such as, rapping, molesting or robbing are mostly done by teenagers. 

There was once an issue which is still an issue which is still occurring now which is "Peer Pressure." I once spoke on this matter. Very interesting. The title given was "Teenage Problem." Peer pressure is when a friend (A), did something bad, for example, smoking. The, his friend (B) saw the act. A tried to influence B but B doesn't want to follow A. Therefore, A discriminated B and asked his friends to also discriminate B. B does not want to be discriminated so, he started smoking as well. That is what we call peer pressure.

Sorry, I'm getting off topic.

I'm trying to state here that minutes by minutes passed by and we're not getting younger but getting older. Do beneficial activities rather than wasting your time! As some people say " Time flies." Make your time precious. Always think about others. Do things that are beneficial to other as well.

In conclusion, do not think life is long. You may die in a car accident, Nauzubillah. We don't know. Therefore, do more good deeds to erase you bad deeds before you meet Allah. May Allah bless you.

"If you frown for one second, you are actually wasting a second of happiness."

" Be happy, like this man down here!"

Life is a turning wheel

Maybe I'm still too young to talk about life but I'm pretty sure that I had gone through quite a lot of experiences that I can share with you. Life is a turning wheel practically means that our life can actually turn upside down from good to bad or bad to worse. It is just a matter of how we handle that situation. Do not be grumpy nor sad when a test was given to you. Test here is not exams that we have in our school  or whatsoever but test here means the hard times that we are experiencing.


Let me tell you a story that is peculiar but fun to hear.


It's actually about myself. When the teachers announce the date of exams, I will start rushing and find books that are all messy in my room. The best part is that I won't sleep the whole night a day before the exam. I will stay up from 10 at night to 8 in the morning just to squeeze the whole book in my head. I know, I know, it's not good to do that. But actually it works, SOMETIMES. During the exam, my eyes will get smaller and smaller from time to time and at last, I didn't realise that I actually fall asleep and there's only 30 minutes left for the exam! I will start nagging to myself and start blaming myself. The truth is that it's not our body's fault not to be energetic enough on that day but because of our unbalance sleep and rest. That is why we will tend to be so weak. Aiyo, don't force yourself lah! Study smart. If you concentrate in class, you only need an hour to do revision at home. Right?


When the exam results are out, I will usually cry because my marks are bad. Very bad.
There was once, I cried in front of my teacher and said that I didn't do well and this and that. I told her that I slept at 4 in the morning just to read the textbook.


Guess what she actually told me:


Teacher: Uswah, did you only study last night?
Uswah: Yes, teacher.
Teacher: I didn't ask you to revise only last night. I asked you to study from the past two weeks.
Uswah: But I tried my best.
Teacher: You can do better. But your way is unacceptable. I know you can do it.
Uswah: I 'll try by best next time.
Then, I just realised my mistake. I was so ashamed of myself.


One of teacher taught me this 'petua' that can be used for studying:
the DUIT petua


D-Doa
U-Usaha (Effort)
I-Istiqamah(Continuously)
T-Tawakkal(Surrender) 


Like what the title says, "Life is a turning wheel." Exams is obviously a test that we need to undergo as students like me. Life will not stay the same forever. It will always turn and turn and turn and turn until the day you leave this world. Students are students.


"Patience is a virtue." :)

Getting to know her World

My beautiful name was given by my father. He gave me the name Uswatun Hasanah because the meaning behind it is very interesting. It is ' The Best Example.' Although my teacher said it is grammatically wrong. I don't mind. My father hopes that I will be one of the leaders who will lead the world in the future, InsyaAllah.

I love watching korean dramas. I started watching them since I was Primary 4. Later on, when I was Primary 6, I started listening to korean songs or young people call it nowadays, Kpop. One of my favourite boy band is FT Island. I have a lot of favourite songs. One of them is Count on Me (Kor. Version) by Jay Park ( ex-member of 2pm). :)

A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be.
