Alhamdulillah

Alhamdulillah.

The weekly football trainings are conducted at a beautiful field, surrounded by yellowflame trees. Have I mentioned that the daily view at Bishan FS is a quiet spectacle to behold?

Last duty, the crowd of 50 applauded our rescue effort. I didn't witness it as I was the last to leave the scene after conducting fire investigation. Amidst the shouting and chaos, being in the blackness of thick smoke actually soothes me, somehow.

Sometimes, the administrative and leadership stresses of work get uncomfortably challenging. But Allah has continuously blessed me with many little things and fruitful lessons that make me feel alive. Alhamdulillah ‘alaa kuli haal.

15 hours ago, I was given news that I got promoted. I'm grateful for the support and silent prayers. Alhamdulillah. InsyaaAllah in 15 hours' time, I will be leaving to perform my Umrah.

Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast? And We removed from you your burden. Which had weighed upon your back. And raised high for you your repute. For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease. Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease. So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship]. And to your Lord direct [your] longing. [Surah Ash-Sharh]

صبرا جميلا

On the 6th of April 2019,

I started my day with a performance at Northlight. Let's continue building the stage confidence (: Malay 60's performance on 13th April at Eunos CC, yes/no? In the afternoon, I admired the blue skies and coconut trees through a sepia tint in Darul Aman. At night, the earthly heavens uncharacteristically greeted me with loneliness at Gardens by the Bay.
