I was still sleeping at around 10.30am when i received a phone call. The number looks familiar and when i answered it was Madam Jenny Yeo. It then knock some senses into me that it gotta be about the Student Exchange Programme (Australia) that i've been interviewed for the day before by Ms Gui, Mr Tay and Ms Tham. The nerve wrecking interview and i swear i've got no hope for after they asked me about my school conduct. The interview went so well in the beginning when Ms Gui was asking me about my USA trip and they were impressed at how independent I was for going to America all by myself and stayed there for a month. But my interview turned sour when they asked me how many sick leaves i took last year and i got a pretty high MC rates.

So Mdm Yeo was like saying that she wants to announce the successful applicants who managed to go to Australia. All the applicants were already there in her office except me since my class starts late today. So i thot to myself, why is she wasting my time since she already have the winners with her.

So she's like "The first person who gets to go to Australia is.... Victor!" so everybody claps and i congratulate Victor on the phone. "The 2nd is Mei Lin. 3rd is Cornelias..." yup, Mdm Yeo pronounced our dearest Miss Connie's name with an "S"! Hahaha! "And the last one is...." At this point i kept thinking to myself must be Angeline... Angeline... Angeline... when Mdm Yeo suddenly said "YOU!"

And I was like "Huh? Me??" And Mdm Yeo just laughed and everybody just went "Congrats Lubaina!" At this point... I just jumped out of me bed and screamed and jumped and screamed again and shocked the hell out of my Grandma & Mom!






I'M GOING TO MELBOURNE!!!!!!!!! I am so excited. I'll be staying in Melbourne for 3 weeks from 23rd April to 11 May. All expenses will be paid by my school (ITE COLLEGE EAST) including air ticket, accomodation and meals. I'll be studying theory in Homesglen Institute of TAFE for a week and the next 2 weeks, i'll be on Clinical Postings at Nursing Homes. It's gonna be a Gerontology program so i'm very excited about this since I like working with elderly and taking care of them anyway.

But what i'm excited most about is we get Rest & Relax for Saturdays and Sundays. We can go anywhere we want and our buddies will take us. There's so many places that i wanna go... I wanna visit the Waterfronts, the Aquarium, the Chocoholic Tours, go on a tram rides, go shopping...........................

And I'm so happy that Connie get to go too. This trip is gonna be "KECOH" (Chaotic) with me & Connie there. All the bitching and butt-slapping. It's gon be krayzee!!



BLESSED and LOVED

You look at me and call me oppressed,
Simply because of the way I'm dressed,
You know me not for what's inside,
You judge the clothing I wear with pride,

My body is not for your eyes to hold,
You must speak to my mind, not my feminine mould,
I'm an individual, I'm no mans slave,
It's Allah's pleasure that I only crave,

I have a voice so I will be heard,
For in my heart I carry His word,

"O ye women, wrap close your cloak, so you won't be bothered by ignorant folk"

Man doesn't tell me to dress this way,
It's a law from God that I obey,
Oppressed is something I'm truly NOT,
For liberation is what I've got,

It was given to me many years ago,
With the right to prosper, the right to grow,
I can climb mountains or cross the seas,
Expand my mind in all degrees,

For God Himself gave us LIB-ER-TY,
When He sent Islam,
To You and Me!
