Assalaamu'alaikum..

Interesting yet challenging. That will be the topic for today's post.

One very vital subject in the A levels is the General Paper or GP. It requires us to know the surroundings and stuff like that. General Paper do also covers Sports, Health, Media, Education, Gender issues, Poverty and so on and so forth. Of those, only 5 are the ubiquitous sort, and they are Science&Tech, Environment, Politics, Religion and Philosophy. Though it may seem to be 'only' 5, it is, undoubtedly, very scary. Scary in the sense it is very hectic. You will have to make yourself comfortable with all those philosophical, alien-like words and terms. It's a MUST i supposed. Dictionaries (preferably the online one as it's faster) should be on your side at any point of time.

Next up will be the Malay/Sastera. H1 for Malay alone, and H2 also with Malay but with the touch of the Malay Literature. Once we're in the Pre-U level, reading takes a huge role. It is one of the most important factor that will lead us to success. You will have to get used with all those sentimental, flowery sentences. Proverbs and stuff like that should all be in our head by now. Supposed. haha.

Tasawwuf is something which I do not, frankly, till now believe in it. I mean, it is something which is too abstract, deep in the sense that i think may gone overboard. Ruuhul Quddus(Purified soul or somehting like that) for example. While i was reading a book on it, i was like, why was it so complicated? There wasn't even a 'dalil' or evidence to support the term Ruuhul Quddus. Nevertheless, i will still try my best to fully understand the concept of Tasawwuf. InsyaAllah.

Sejarah Perundangan Islam or SPI. I don't know, for some reason i think there's too much information. It is interesting though. Just that i find it hard to memorise some of the points as i tend to be forgetful by nature. Just hope i could really master or at least have a more-than-70% knowledge of it before the A levels.

As for Akidah, Usul Fiqh, 'Ulum Hadith and 'Ulum Qur-an. I have no comments on it. InsyaAllah I'll do just fine.

Arabic Language really do, to me, requires a lot of effort in learning. You have to have the interest in it. You cannot just just depend on one book (i.e the school's book), you have to be diligent enough to read Arabic articles on the net etc. I do love Arabic, i do have the interest in it. Just that i lack the effort in studying, learning for it.

Proceed with the Mathematics. Though i'm just taking the H1, i don't know why for some reason, i have no confidence in it. I can do the worksheets and all, but when it comes to the real test or examination, i will tend to get panic, nervous, blackout and things like that. As a result, i will be the one at loss. Duh.. O Allah, ease my undertakings, give me the strength to face all of these with an open mind. 

Last but not least, Economics. It's beginning to drive me crazy. We started off with just simple, basic things about the world economy, status of a country and stuff like that. As time goes by, we moved on to Demand&Supply, one of the most basic or fundamental element in Economics. At first it seemed easy, but as time passes, we have to get to know what's happening around us, as to what really affects the demand and supply of a product, in an economic persepective, with reference to the world economic crisis and not merely Singapore as a whole.

To some people, i look like a smart, pious student etc.. but in real life, I'm far from it. To those, I beg of you to please stop having high hopes on me. Just because my brothers are all smart people, it doesn't make me smart as well. I know it may be a motivation to some, but definitely not me i supposed. You can still seek me if you have any problems pertaining to your personal lives or studies but i cannot really confirmed to you 100% that I will be able to answer your questions as needed. Instead, i will try my best to convey my thoughts on the question. I can be good, I can be bad. I ever got an A1, i ever got an F9. So please, treat me like a normal average student. Allahu A'lam.

With that,
Assalaamu'alaikum.

ps.:The thought of having 3(4 insyaAllah) H2 subjects really make me feel inferior. For H1 even, i was like, complaining and stuff like that (GENERAL PAPER n MATHS especially).. what's more with the H2's. Can i really cope with all these subjects, terms, alien-like words and things like that? O God, do give me your strength, ease my endeavours.
