ive watched National Treasure, Book of secrets in the cinemas,
andd it's pretty good and hilarious,
haha yes the script is good really (:
BUT I STILL WANNA WATCH ENCHANTED, haha,
yup Insya-Allah (:
andd haha i realised that im losing my appetite,
i couldnt finish a zinger burger,
like haha that's kinda well, unlike me,
but maybe the explanation is because,
uhh i ate like popcorns and nachos before that?
but well, haha yeap,
Alhamdullilah (:
and script for drama has been approved,
Alhamdullilah, GREEN LIGHT,
so yes we'll start drama pracs next week aite!
afternoon afternoon, Insya-Allah (:
and my adik went t Pioneer sec and bought his stuff,
yes time's passing, and wow he's like sec1, and im j2,
haha yeah no more pri school goers in my family anymore,
Alhamdullilah (:
aite!
thenn uh yesterday,
went down t buy food for my family,
and yes the queu was pretty long for the nasi ayam,
cuz apparently q. a few stalls were closed,
andd so i couldnt get my nasi lemak,
but it was okay, Alhamdullilah ade makan (:
andd yeap bought like 2 1litre soy milk,
yes haha one for me myself,
and i have been chocolating,
haha yeahh.
thenn haha got msg from Khairi yesterday,
who apparently had an extra ticket for teater by Ekamatra,
so yup after some time of indecision,
made up my mind and decided t go,
haha yup so met up with her and her NUS mate, Gad, at Raffles.
andd we went t eat then masjid,
yup i met Fas' mam and her sis there (:
and then! haha went down t substation for the teater,
and yup we were treated t some music before that,
and haha yes the seruling sound.
i wanna buy a bamboo flute, as in seriously,
and learn how t play cuz yes i really love the sound (:
Insya-Allah i'll be buying soon, yup!
anyone going down t Kampung Java anytime soon?
as in seriously?
haha (:
so anw, the teater was good, Pondok 2000,
it was abstract, cant deny that,
and haha yes Alfian Sa'at was there,
and it basically touches on the Muslim community,
and my favourite was the Genap 40,
which was very interesting, yup.
and oh there was this issue yang diketengahkan,
about having an all-female mosque,
and having a female Imam and all,
and it was very thought provoking,
especially during the post discussion,
when the issue centralised was the equality between men and women in Islam,
andd yup, we'll talk bout this later.
but anw, the teater and discussion kinda ended near 11pm,
and so i decided t take the longer route,
cuz i didnt wanna go home alone,
and i ended up like, yes, taking the last train t Lakeside,
which basically points out the time i was reaching home,
and yup it's not good and i super exceeded my curfew which wasnt even in place,
it was past midnight, and my dad had t go thru the troubles of fetching me from Lakeside mrt,
and yup he was tired, just got back from work,
and yes i could've been more considerate,
and so yup, i got imposed a curfew, yes my first ever,
1030pm yup, it's not bad though honestly,
and yeah i feel bad and guilty for being such a lousy person,
so yup lessons learnt:
1. get home by the fastest route when it's super late andd
2. just be quiet when parents are talking. it works best.
yup, i mean any rational parents would do the same,
im so worrying, it's not good,
but Alhamdullilah, im blessed t have parents like my parents (:
yup,
anw the teater,
issues like why a woman cant be an Imam, though i find it pretty well, obvious,
and there were like answers such as culture and the way man is created.
having a female Imam would also be inviting man's nafsu cuz you cannot deny that men are more easily aroused as compared t a woman,
and there was tis point that was brought up which stated that,
there are alot of distractions around and when you pray to God,
it should only be between you and Him,
and having a female Imam is the same as the other distractions that are present,
so it doesnt really count as an excuse to not have a female Imam,
and it was an argument about equality between the genders in Islam.
but i thought, and i think that this strive for gender equality is based more on ideals and the concept of feminism,
rather than religion,
because God makes us differently,
we are created with different responsibilities,
and i dont see why this issue of championing gender equality should erase the fact that the man is responsible for the women and the jemaah,
and woman being a woman, is born with higher emotional level,
and so we tend to think with our hearts than our minds.
i mean, there are so many other leadership posts that women can undertake,
i dont understand why this issue should be diperbesarkan,
because personally, i want a man to be responsible for me,
and this doesnt make women more inferior or anything honestly.
call me orthodox living in a 21st century or anything,
but well it is the right thing,
and Islam is very flexible and it champions women's equality with men,
the issues of women's opression and repression are, to me, more of a political issue rather than a religious issue.
and yup, i thought the example given wasnt very good somehow,
like women cant play badminton or have a tournament in a mosque,
and it'll cause a big hoo-ha,
BUT again, i honestly dont think there's an issue there,
to the point that they should build an all-female mosque,
cuz a mosque is where you bring the community together,
and this'll only be a breeding ground for feminism, which aint good for the society, to my opinion,
and plus, you can easily solve those problems, if there are in the first place,
by building an indoor or even a separate badminton court,
yup.
somehow, i think that there are already efforts to bring the community closer together,
it's whether we want t accept them or not,
and it's not the issue of being a woman or a man,
i think it's the issue of being a 21st century Muslim.
aite,
okayy that's that for now i spose,
yup (:
take care,
Wani
