Alhamdulillah :)

Assalamualaikum and haiii!

So, yesterday was the last day of the camp, (the camp I joined which I stated on my last post --> Faith In Humanity Restored

Alhamdulillah, it was a great camp
Before the camp, I tell myself to not to go to the camp because...
I don't know,
I can feel it in my bones that the camp will be boring and unsuccessful and so.
But,
My bones were wrong,
The camp was great!
I love it. Even though it's only 2 days 1 night,
But I think it's good and it should be like 3 days 2 nights.
:)

So I didn't update my blog yesterday because I was really tired and I got something to do with Malaysian Book Record ( I'll tell this later )

So, back to the camp story,
The first day, it was like 7:30-ish AM,
Me and 2 of my friends went to the school canteen to put our stuffs and bags,
I brought 1 bag , 1 goodie bag and 1 pillow.
My favourite pillow :)
After we put our stuffs, we went to the school library to register ourselves.
We were given a piece of papers with lists of names for us to tick.
Then Mdm Yam tell us if we bring something that is forbidden, we should give it to the teacher in school canteen
So we went back to the school canteen to give our forbidden things like handphones, etc to the teacher.

So then we went back to the library for some lectures with a speaker came from somewhere out from our town
And it was great
The first speaker was Ustaz Wan Jaapar :

Credit to : Google for this picture ( We can't bring electronic stuffs (camera etc), it was forbidden :| )

He was witty, amazing and extraordinary.
He's amazing.
I love his speech
It was amazing and wonderful
He tell us to avoid immoral stuffs like violence, sex before marriage, smoking and things that will lead us away from Islam.
I don't even know what's the perfect word to describe how amazing it was.

And the next speaker was Ustaz Sabri
I couldn't find him on Google .
His speech was amazing.
His speech was more about family.
His speech makes my tears falling down from my eyes.
It was sad.
He tell us to appreciate life (he was a former soldier)
He tell us that he faced a lot of ups and downs in his life

After the speech, we have ISOMA ( relax, solat and eat )

And then we go back to the library for some more speech
The third speaker was Ustaz Muhammad Rashidi.
He's a Muallaf.
He was amazing. I love his speech.
He's from Kuching.
He's a writer, pendakwah bebas, a father and I don't know much about him.
He tell us about our mission in our life
He asked us what's our vision in our life. He really changed my thoughts about life
He's amazing.
He has a loud voice but calm,
His face looks kinda scary but he's nice, really nice.
I wish to see him in another time
In Shaa Allah one day...

Then we were split up into groups
And of course, my friends are in another group
But me and Miss Apple decided to be in the same group so we changed group :)
Actually we can't change group but remember my quote?

" Break the rules if you can't change it" - Potato


Ok, so we were given 2 facilitators,
It was Miss Kiwi and Mr Avocado
They're dating lol.
So we were given a task by Ustaz Rashidi
And the facilitators have to explain it back to us but they didn't understand what Ustaz was saying earlier before the task was given
So a lot of facilitators ask Ustaz couple of times
And Ustaz was fed up so he explain it one more time
I can see that he's fed up
So he explained it and I gotta be honest,
I was scared at that time

But it's okay
So, after he explained it
We did the task
And we have to present it
We did.
But it was late at that time
And we have another activity to do so Mr White Radish and Mdm Yam decided to continue the presentation right after we solat Isha'.
So we have explorace
It was kinda fun! :)
I love it
All the check points were questions about Islam
And guess what?
Alhamdulillah,
I can answer it :)
And I helped a couple of my friends in my group
Oh yeah,
I forgot to tell you who's in my group
It was me, Miss Apple, Miss Pear, Miss Pineapple, Mr Grape, Mr Green Apple, Mr Papaya :)

Alhamdulillah everything went perfectly perfect
So night comes
And right after Isha'
We present our presentation
I was the first speaker
Talking about nervous,
Of course I'm nervous
My hands were shaking
I can see that Ustaz Rashidi was smiling behind his paper (he put the paper in front of his mouth)
But Alhamdulillah,
I can overcome my nervousness
:)

So Ustaz Rashidi give marks to us
And our group only get 45 marks :(
While other groups got like 50 and above
I feel kinda sad but bersyukur
At least we got marks :D
So before the presentation
Ustaz Rashidi promised us to give a present for group that wins
It's his book called "Travelog Hidayah" with his signature
I really want that
But I thought to myself that the chance for our group to win is as thin as shallot's skin

Then I thought to myself...

"Where there's a will, there's hope"

So later that night,
There's another Ustaz
He's a friend of Ustaz Rashidi
I love his accent
He's Indonesian
His voice is soft
I love the way he talks

But suddenly my friend, Miss Apple doesn't feel really good
So I had to accompany her to the canteen because she wants to vomit
Our teacher, Miss Watermelon was with us,
the hallway was dark
So we went to the canteen
And she vomited at the back of the canteen
Miss Watermelon was with her
While I sit on a chair with Mr White Radish
He was wearing a jacket with Iqra' written over it
I asked him whether he's a newspaper writer
Because he look like one with the jacket on
He chuckles and he tell me that the jacket is from a Palestinian group that he joined
He was associated with Iqra'
He give foods to the Palestinian
I thought to myself
I really wanna join that
I tell him that I wanna join that
He asked me
"Why?"
I tell him that it was one of my dream
I wanna be the youngest or a student to joined that group
He tell me to study first
I tell him that die in Syahid is one of my dream
He was speechless
And he smiled

So it was like 10 pm at that time
And we (me, Miss Watermelon, Miss Apple and Miss Lime) went back to the library for Zikir Munajat
Alhamdulillah

I cried when I think about all the sins that I did
It was really a sad moment for me at that time
Then Mr White Radish showed a video about Alam Barzakh for those who sinned and didn't have the chance to repent
It was scary.
It was sad too.

It makes me feel very sinned at that time :'(
Alhamdulillah, I got the chance to join this camp
Even though at first I didn't want to

After Zikir Munajat we have to go to sleep
At 12-ish
I saw Mr White Radish yawned and I smiled
He smiled back and he tell me he was sleepy
I got nothing to say so I smiled

So I slept
At about 2AM-ish
I woke up because I heard some noise
It was the teachers
They were punishing the boys at that time because they were walking around the school
I thought it was already 4AM because we have Qiyammulail and I don't want to miss it
But it wasn't

And then I went back to sleep
And I woke up again at 4AM ish and took wudhu' and get ready for Qiyammulail
We did Tahajjud, Hajat and Witir
And then it was time for Subh
After Subh,
Ustaz Rashidi tell us that Qiyammulail isn't something hard to do,
He tells us to do Qiyammulail at least once in a week
And then one of his friend give a Subh Speech
It was about the importance of studying
I love the speech

And then after the speech, we have to pack our stuffs and breakfast
After breakfast, we went back to the library
Ustaz Rashidi give some speech and we were given the second task
It was about his speech
We have to explain it back
So we did
We present back what he explained to us earlier
It was just a 3 minutes presentation
Right after the speech,
He gives us marks
Our group got 85 marks :(
Others got like 113 and above
I was sad but I didn't give up
And then he give some more speech and we were given the third task
The task was easier this time
It was about "Why some people fail in their lives?"
We have to do a list
Our group did a mind map
I listed 25 points
I thought to myself that the lists wasn't good enough but I don't give up
:)

So we sent the list to Ustaz and he smiled while he look at our lists
I'm not sure whether that's a good sign or vice versa
I asked my friend (she's in other group), how many points did you write?
She tell me only 9 points
I was surprised
I thought my group has the smallest amount of lists
But I was wrong
We were the group with the biggest amount of lists
So it was near to the end of the camp
Mr White Radish announced the winner for Explorace
We didn't win the explorace :[
But it's okay
And I didn't hope to win anything
The most important thing is the knowledge that I earned.
Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you what's the name of our group,
It was Bilal Bin Rabbah :)

Then Mr White Radish announced the winner for all presentation...
"First place... BILAL BIN RABBAH WITH 335 MARKS"

I WAS GOBSMACKED
I WAS SURPRISED
MY MOUTH WAS OPENED WIDE ENOUGH TO FIT A MICROPHONE IN IT

I didn't expect to win though.
Imagine this :
All group get 100+ marks while we got only 85 marks
And our last hope was the last task
And Alhamdulillah
We got the first prize
From 85 marks -> 335 marks
Alhamdulillah
Thank you
And the prize was ...

TRAVELOG HIDAYAH!!!

With his signature!!!

Thank you ya Ustaz!!!

Alhamdulillah :D

So it's the end of the program

We get our forbidden stuffs back and I went back home

Alhamdulillah 

It was a sweet memorable camp

ALHAMDULILLAH...
