I've melamar-ed P (thru her parents). She accepted. My parents were supportive as well but there was a slight misunderstanding over the timeline with P's side but all's good now. Alhamdulillah. Was quite surprised (and am maybe a tinge uncomfortable) that she accepted in less than a day. But i am quite relieved and satisfied now, i can't wait for D-day but at the same time i wish for things to say the same as it is now. September is the engagement and syawal is the first get-to-know sesh. I guess an appropriate way to describe how im feeling is really alhamdulillah, would not be at anywhere else other than right where i am now, alhamdulillah.
Been reading books on marriage and Rasulullah saw. Been watching islamic vids on youtube as well. My school starts next week so i hope i can finish my book by this weekend. I will save the bestseller marriage book (and other books) for later.
Now school. I scored well for last sem alhamdulillah, was unexpected. Alhamdulillah, and jazakumullahu khairan to all who prayed for me. This sem is going to be the toughest one for this course. Not only am i thoroughly outmatched in programming/optimizing (i did score B+ in Y1S1 for my programming mod without bringing notes for an open book finals but that was pretty basic stuff and ppl have evolved haha and i have honestly not), advanced Transport phenomena sounds tough and im taking a third mod. Which is overloading. May Allah swt grant me strength.
Next week is P's bday, will have to think of a nice doa for her inshaaAllah. Hope her practicum turns out well (and for other friends taking it as well). BTO in pasir ris opens in May 2020, and i have to put in a $50K downpayment in Oct 2020 if i get it with P. Needa find a way to encroach this topic with her.
I am quitting AAM this year cause theres a few sesh now (and i alrd have to miss a few), and theyve changed the direction to be less academic inclined now. Which is gud lah but not really what i signed up for. Idw to overcommit. Alhamdulillah, will always be grateful for AAM, so many precious memories of students and friends and camp memories are simply unforgettable. Am joining the long list of senior mentors who have left and moved on with their lives alhamdulillah. May Allah swt bless all who has ever and will ever be involved in AAM, and may Allah swt always make us grateful servants.
So yeah. I think das all. Theres a few uncertainties in my mind (how am i gonna talk to P now that we're more or less official, how is the planning process towards pernikahan gonna be, what other advice and knowledge from gud people and books which i have still yet to learn yadayada). Will Arsenal beat CP tonight?
But i am grateful. And alhamdulillah is the best way to describe how im feeling and what position i am in now. So alhamdullah, truly :) alhamdulillah. May Allah swt always guide us on His path always. Ameen.
Mums finishing up and its almost time for dinner. Alhamdulillah yet again :) till next time folks.
