Kuiz Perdana - Pustaka Negeri - Reflection

"O the people of Kufa! You let the Jews, Christians, dogs and pigs drink the water from the Euphrates River, but all of you let the family of the Messenger of God (s.a.w.) in thirst. May God make you feel thirsty during the Day of Resurrection!"

Al-Hurr al-Riyahi's last words during the Battle of Karbala

Prime Quiz State Level 2008
Four students were selected from St. Joseph to represent the school in Kuiz Perdana State Level 2008. The selected students are Abdul Hakim Lukhman (4A), Allistair Adam (4A), Christ Andra (4A) and Randy Song (4D). They were selected two days before the quiz. Mdm. Nora were our teacher-in-charge to bring us to SK Petra Jaya.

Very nostalgic. I went to this school twice. My first time was when me, Kelvin Jong, Roland Teo and Stanley Teng represented the school in the Consumerisme Quiz District Level 2008. (refer to here and here for more details).

The quiz was started at 10.00 am and ended at 11.00 am. The format was the same - sitting in a room with pencils, answering the questions provided in a question book. Praise to God, there was no subjective questions.

I managed to answer all the question in 20 minutes (with most of the question I answered blindly, in other words, tembak). I spent 30 minutes to sleep, and the remaining of the time to sitting there, checking my answers, altough I know it's no use to check my crappy answers.

Honestly, I felt no worry. For me, there's nothing for me to be worried, since I had the same experience. However, Allistair, Christ Andra and Randy felt worried. For Adam and Christ, this is the first time he participate such contest. For Randy, he have not made any preparation for today's quiz.

After the quiz, we felt very happy. We (and the other contestants) were allowed to bring the question book. And the teachers-in-charge for every team also been given each one of them the same question book.

Because we felt very lazy to go back top school, we decided to go to other place. Mdm. Nora brought us to Pustaka Negeri (State Library). After all, the 4A was sitting for diagnostic test. So, three of us took this opportunity to escape from the test. No offence for it.

At State Library
When we arrived at the State Library, we felt very excited. Well, this is (maybe) our first time to State Library. The library was so huge, the area was very wide, and got bookstore, surau, and also a big lake in front of the library.

Me: Adam, kita molah perjumpaan untuk Swimming Club kat tasik tok, mauk?
Adam: (laugh)

Before entering the library, Mdm Nora took the pictures of four of us at the pavement towarding the entrance.

In there, I took the opportunity to have a look at all the books. I'm really really really look sakai. There's a lot of books - more than the books at Sarikei Public Library. I'm so fascinated with the large number of books of hadth collection. Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan Abu Daud, al-Arba'un an-Nawawiyyah, Riyadhus-Salihin, etc - you name it.

However, we only have one hour time to be at there.

We left the library at 12.38 pm.

I Feel ...
Because of the hot weather, I felt so sleepy until I felt want to continued my sleep. I tried to sleep but then failed. There, I made reflection of myself.

Do I still have to continue in be in my state of loneliness? Do I have someone at my side to be with me in all kind of situation?

I know, this is very normal. But I cannot be in this state continuously, or else it may drive me crazy, and then I have to be locked in the room for mad people.

I am really really really in desperate situation. I really in critical situation ...
