As the sun painted the sky with hues of gold, I stepped into another Sunday—a day that would unfold with purpose and reflection. At the heart of it all was the Subuh Education, a spiritual and social gathering for the fresh faces of Syiah Kuala University. Our theme this week: "Mental Health in Islamic Perspective."

The clock struck early, and the campus buzzed with anticipation. The faculties of economics, law, veterinary medicine, and natural sciences—all predominantly attended by young women—gathered for the dawn prayer and the subsequent education session. As fate would have it, I assumed the role of parking attendant—a task that demanded patience, especially when dealing with motorcyclists who paid little heed to orderly parking.

Guiding them, I watched as they maneuvered their bikes, some with grace, others with a touch of chaos. Our mission: maintain order and ensure no one left their keys dangling in the ignition during the education session. The morning unfolded seamlessly, the education stretching from dawn prayer until 7:00 AM.

Afterward, I stole a moment of rest before embarking on my next endeavor: pruning the date palm trees that graced the mosque courtyard. Their unruly branches had begun to encroach upon the pathways, disrupting the flow of worshippers. Armed with a saw, I trimmed the overgrown fronds, allowing sunlight to filter through once more.

By 8:00 AM, I had worked up a sweat, but the satisfaction of taming nature's wild tendrils fueled my spirit. A quick shower refreshed me, and breakfast followed. But the day was far from over. At 10:00 AM, I embarked on a different kind of task: reinstalling Windows 10 on a patient's laptop.

The process began with transferring critical data from the system directory to a safe storage location. Armed with a bootable USB drive, I initiated the reinstallation. It wasn't without hiccups—I stumbled four times before successfully uploading the data and proceeding with the installation. The old Windows files were purged, a digital cleansing that stretched well into the afternoon, finally concluding at 5:00 PM.

As the sun dipped low, I reflected on the day's events. From spiritual education to tree pruning and tech troubleshooting, each task had its purpose. And amidst it all, I marveled at the interconnectedness of service, learning, and growth. My Sunday diary stood as a testament to the richness of life's tapestry—a blend of faith, diligence, and the occasional tech glitch.

And so, as the stars emerged, I closed my diary, grateful for the day's chapters. Tomorrow would bring new challenges, but today—I had lived it fully.
