Panda eYEs & praYer Place

It has been an eventFUL (will update soon) pre-weekend and weekend, with late nights and assignments (both school & work).

When I went to teach at 8am on Sunday, my primary 2 student:

She : teacher marlina, what’s wrong with your eyes?
Me : huh? Why?
She : they look different.
Me : Oh

Dalam hatiku, must be the panda eyes. I am scaring off my students.

Tonight, my previous department colleagues are having dinner (like the good ol’ days) in celebration of our boss’ promotion.

Once we decided on dinner (at 7pm),

Colleague S: marlina, you need to pray right? Aiyah, where you want to pray?

Me: the place is near the mosque

Uncle J (another colleague): anywhere also can pray, right?

Me: yeah, see, uncle J clever.


Thus, from wherever thou mayest come forth, turn thy face [in prayer] towards the Inviolable House of Worship-for. Behold, this [commandment] comes in truth from thy Sustainer; and God is not unaware of what you do. 2:149


ps: tried to look for a verse in the quran; something about the earth as a place for prayer (or is it a hadith?). Anybody who knows, please help. Thanks.

my dear yati a.k.a fellow near- death experience survivor...

just to hold the suspense a little further (sebenarnya belum upload gambar), the pictures were really BEAUTIFUL...

the photographer turned on an entirely different persona when she reached east coast, and the "photographee-s" were sporting participants!

thanks for being concerned about my panda eyes. yes, i apply expensive clinique eye cream TWICE daily - anybody has cheaper alternatives?

and getting enough sleep has not been very possible due to work kot. ah yes, and revisions for the coming dpi exams.
