Living zombie
Here I am again, about to apologise to my sorry self for not keeping up with my resolution. It seems like I’ve been doing a number of fancy pirouettes with my circadian rhythm lately that I’m entering some sort of zombie mode now. And I might look like I’m about to fall into a state of anarchy at any moment, but that’s normal, because I’m sitting for my ‘certification exam’ for therapy and surgery next week, with a skimpy 3-day gap between one and the other. Charming, a student’s life, isn’t it? It’s bad enough that we get so few holidays here; they also conduct exams during regular schooldays, amidst neck-breaking classes. Alright, I’m exaggerating (the neck-breaking part, not the exam-during-school part. That's true.). A little random ‘experiment’ the other day pointed me to verse 112 (and the following verses) of Surah Al-Mu’minun which translate as follow:-
He will say: "What number of years did ye stay on earth?"
They will say: "We stayed a day or part of a day: but ask those who keep account."
He will say: "Ye stayed not but a little,- if ye had only known!
"Did ye then think that We had created you in jest, and that ye would not be brought back to Us (for account)?"
Therefore exalted be Allah, the King, the Reality: there is no god but He, the Lord of the Throne of Honour!
If anyone invokes, besides Allah, Any other god, he has no authority therefor; and his reckoning will be only with his Lord! and verily the Unbelievers will fail to win through!
So say: "O my Lord! grant Thou forgiveness and mercy for Thou art the Best of those who show mercy!"
Al-Mu’minun: 112-118
Happy birthday to my father, who turns 47 today. May Allah bless you always. I love you very much.

You can certainly say that again. In my humble opinion, students are the busiest people second only to politicians. But that's just me and my funny way of looking at things.
Happy Birthday to Dr Azmi. He's just turned 47? That's young, isn't it?
By the way...I couldn't help but notice that you seem a bit fuller around the cheeks in that picture. You haven't been playing around with photoshop, have you...? *grin*
Happy 22nd birthday. May Allah bless you, give you Guidance and strength to face the world full of tests and challenge. Dont forget to read the Quran.
