So today, the first Arabic class has started. I'm quite happy to learn this language even before this to be frankly, I'm not really into this language. Perhaps after so long not hearing people talking using Arabic, I feel so excited :)
Moving on..
"Symposium!" "Symposium!"
I would conclude that's the word of the week. Symposium's actually a program for future nuqoba'- the one who'll conduct the usrah. The thing is I'm not signing up for nuqoba' programme. There were loads of my friends were shocked when I was saying that I'm not signing up for naqibah to be. To be honest, it was like, really hard for me to make this decision. I knew this is the best path so far where I could contribute sth, at least to my religion. I even could make more friends. Nonetheless, I just felt that my real intention wasn't that. It's not that I don't want. It's really a good feeling when attending usrah. and of course I want others to feel what I'm feeling.
I'm always scared with this verse,
O ye who believe! Why say ye that which ye do not?Grievously odious is it in the sight of Allah that ye say that which ye do not. (As-saff:3,4)
but hey, I'm not alone. InsyaAllah, Allah always stays beside me :)
and this sunday, I'll go to KLCC for MPO (Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra) It is actually a part of mentor-mentee programme. I'd never watched any musical and even, had never been to MPO before. Hopefully, it'll be fun.
To reflect on yesterday, before taking breakfast my friend and I went for jogging. This's the first time I jogged after the holiday. Upon arriving the end of the track, I suffered dizzy spells. Surprisingly I couldn't barely walk. Thanks my dear friend for helping and bring me back to my room! Perhaps this's due to my sedentary lifestyle =.=
I've just googled about caffeine. This is because, for the past few days I've been drinking coffee in order to finish warisan assignment. It was like Oh My GOD, torturing. I was so pissed off at first as I didn't have enough time to study. But then, I realized sth- Intention is the most crucial part when we do sth. Actually, I had to create a blog regarding CAS - clubs, sports, humanitarian projects, external CAS, yadda yadda. In order to stay awake in class, I drank coffee, excessively. It was effective at first but I found myself more tired than usual.
(for your information, I rarely drink coffee)
and here's some info from google:
Why does caffeine makes you tired?
Caffeine makes your body free more energy than normal (leading to euphoria). If you use that extra energy, your energy levels (glucose levels in your blood) will quickly drop, leading to headache and other side-effects (crash).

First, caffeine is a vasoconstictor (it shrinks your blood vessels) thereby, it increases your heart rate and blood pressure. This is why caffeine is so effective for treating headaches.
Second, caffeine is also a diuretic (it makes you pee).Therefore, if you are already dehydrated, then the caffeine will not have enough blood volume to shrink down the vessels to increase your blood pressure, and the caffeine will increase your dehydration to make you more tired.
Tip: this is what I do. Drink at least 3 to 4- 8 ounce glasses of water before drinkingone cup of coffee. You will run to the bathroom in 20 minutes, but you see that you will have more pep and energy and use the 3 to 4 rule with every cup. You will find that you need less coffee to give you more energy
