Please be prepared to read lots of Z's stories till then cos' I admit: I don't have a life.Haha.
You know that's not true but Z is such a good storyteller and I find stories of her friends worth sharing cos' the young minds would inspire us,the oldies.
By the way,she got the McKinsey internship thingy.It was pretty competitive to get in but alhamdulillah, she'll get some experience working with the best in the multinational org.Am proud of you gal.
But Z spoke of another brilliant friend (again, of mixed parentage) who won a scholarship to study in Hong Kong before going to the US to study in one of the ivy unis there.Let's call this bright and pretty gal Annie.She's a true genius cos' despite being surrounded by atheist and friends as well as teachers who mock religions and laugh at any show of religiosity,she came back every winter and summer break to learn more of Islam to strengthen and affirm her faith.Her family isn't particularly religious (but decent people) and I find Annie's decision to educate herself more of her religion truly touching.She went out of her way and enrolled in a course at IIUM..by herself! Wough..she has a clear direction of what she wants and needs,yah?Am deeply impressed cos' I also know of other kids her age who are easily influenced and sold their soul cos' of peer pressure and environs.Annie,may Allah give you strength to stay strong and wise (she does not wear tudung but it's obvious she takes great care of her iman and Z says Annie's constant prayer is she'd marry a good Muslim man to guide her.And this tall gal is very,very pretty,OK? Like a model.Her hair a bit blondish..naturally so)
Z has a seminar tomorrow ( on what ..I have lost track!) but watch this space to hear her stories when she returns.:)
