SUMMER TIME

Mail came from one of my overseas friends, asking what u gonna do for Summer.
Summer? Well, for many Indonesian, the word of Summer is not familiar. It mostly only can be met/used in country which has 4 seasons, like in Europe. As for in Indonesia, we have only winter monsoons and summer monsoons (Monsoon is s a heavy rain storm.. The seasons change very little.

For most students (everywhere on this planet), Summer or whatever it calls means no class after having long exams. It’s fun to have 2 or 3 months free of studying. No longer to be in time at school and no pages of home works. I recalled I spent 24 hours a day on fun. But all good things passed by so quickly as cant do something useful of my leisure time. But now, I think that having too long a holiday is like a nightmare.

A good way is having schedule in advance what kinds of activities we r going to do during that holiday. The choice is on our hands. Choose something good for mentality and spirituality. As life has to be balanced for both of those things. Or maybe can start a blog to reflect all the times we had.

We, as Muslims, should be aware of Prophet Muhammad's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "There are two blessings that many people lose: health and free time" (Al-Bukhari).
