The Road Taken

The eventful trip to Kelantan

2012-01-29T13:12:00.002+08:00

Salam.

It had been long since I last wrote anything here. There's nothing much to write, really. But it's kinda boring seeing the old stories each time I visited my own blog. So, I'm actually forcing this story to be written down. Just bear with me in case it's not so interesting and I think my writing skills has become rusty too.

So, the trip to Kelantan begins on Sunday, 22 January and ends on Tuesday, January 24th. During our stay, we tried to be helpful to our hosts but it doesn't seem like we did much. Well, maybe Faein and Nadia did more than I do. On the other hand, I feel like the only thing I do is snapping pictures here and there. But yeah, as an amateur, and a total beginner on top of that, my experimental shots didn't turn out good. Plus, my pictures of the big day are from the side view as I was trying not to be a hindrance to the hired photographer who is trying to do his work and the relatives who wanted to keep the proof of the happy day. Here goes a series of the not-so-good pictures:

If I had moved a bit to the left, I would have gotten the full view inside the mirror. Well, I was too afraid to do that in case I accidentally become a photo-bomber in the hired photographer's shot.

Oh, this came out quite good. Haha, but then, so many people in the background.

Yeah, I lack originality. I'm not sure though why people take this kind of shots, but i did it anyway out of curiosity and self-satisfaction (of being able to do what other people could). What an idiot.

Another side-view picture. I managed to capture the right moment and the right emotion. But unfortunately, the wrong camera mode. Tsk, tsk what a shame.

err..I'm not really sure what I'm trying to achieve here. and the cake is crooked.

The traffic jam on the way to Pantai Cahaya Bulan. So we decided to give up on the beach and went shopping at the nearby shops.

The effect is different when I focused only on the sky. It looked as if it is almost dusk. Cool huh?

aww...so cute. But a bit blurry here. A second shot is somewhat impossible. This kid keeps on going here and there

Another failed attempt

We barely know each other. From left: Hani's maternal cousin, Hani's paternal cousin, Hani's university friend, Razan's friend, Hani's school friend. It's kinda sad thinking that I might not see them again in the future.

And somehow these two kids got comfortable with me and started goofing off with me. Ahh...I miss my cousins

Oh, and yes, I lost my identification card. It was last seen was before boarding the flight to Kota Bharu. Alhamdulillah, I managed to settle the matter within the week and is currently waiting for the new card. It's a good thing that I'm still a student. If it isn't because of that, I would've had to pay RM110 instead of RM60. But I lost the picture of the innocent-looking 17-years-old-me eheh.

Currently I'm eager and excited to attend two more weddings. The nearest is this coming weekend and another one is in March. I hope there won't be any class on that Saturday.

I pray that we would do well in the coming exam.

Jalan-jalan Raya

Salam.

Setelah bermaaf-maafan sesama ahli keluarga, marilah kita menziarahi saudara-mara khususnya yang tua. Yang tak kenal boleh dikenal-kenalkan, yang dah kenal boleh dirapatkan.

1st destination: Rumah Nek Mami, Klang

Nek Mami ni Atok punya mak cik. So she's my moyang.

Nek Mami yang selalu buatkan rempeyek untuk atok

Bergambar kenang-kenangan

Tuan rumah tak payah susah-susah nak layan. Pandai je masing-masing layan diri

Rombongan Mak Ngah pun sampai

Pindah ke depan pulak...habis kuih kena makan

Sempat tengok Momok the Movie. Ramai betul director tambahan nak bagi sedap cerita

Semoga Allah lanjutkan usia moyang

2nd Destination: Rumah Pak Ngah, Ampang

Konon-konon nak tangkap gambar sunset, jumpa kucing comel pulak...waa fluffy (fuwa fuwa kata orang jepun)

Sambung tengok Momok the Movie...haha poyo betul

Sambal udang special Mak Ngah...Rugi sape tak makan

Ada yang siap request mi goreng Mak Ngah. Nyum2

Makan 3rd round kat dapur bersama-sama ahli rukun tetangga
Eh, tengok kat belakang tu ada apa

Zoom sikit ke belakang...

Jeng jeng jeng!

Joran Pak Ngah si kaki pancing...banyak nye...maklumlah, nak dekat tiap2 minggu pegi memancing

Pak Ngah yang belikan sekotak besar Pop Pop untuk budak2 ni main

The Next day: Rumah Mak Ngah Robiah, taman sebelah, Gombak

Mak Ngah Robiah ni anak sedara arwah Nenek yang paling rapat, kot... Kuih yang dia buat memang ikut resipi nenek sebijik. Sebab tu kitorang semua ni mesti serang kuih raya dulu. Yang paling famous ialah kuih bangkit kelapa dan coklat chip. Semua resipi nenek Mak Ngah simpan. Mak Ngah ni cakap pun sebijik dah macam nenek. Pendek kata, memang the true disciple of nenek la.

Sebab dah buat appointment awal-awal, dapat la makan mi goreng

Tak sah datang rumah Mak Ngah Robiah kalau tak makan kuih coklat chip. Sedap woo

Siap bawak balang kuih pegi depan

Atok dengan Pak ngah Man

Eeeh, dah tinggal sikit je coklat chip ni?!!

These are the culprits!! haha

Siap mintak anak pokok lagi

Next destination: Rumah Tok Su, Sg Besi

Tok Su baru pindah rumah kat Sg Besi. Rumah lama dulu yang dekat Sg. Kerayong dah kena tinggal. Sayang betul sebab rumah tu banyak ukiran kayu. These two brothers, atok & Tok su are very good with their hands.

Atok & Tok Su

Pagi-pagi makan kerang, apalagi serang le!
(Padahal baru je makan kat rumah mak ngah Robiah. Pun licin dua mangkuk kueh tiau goreng)

Bergambar depan kedai Tok Su setelah membeli-belah

Malamnya, kami tunggu Nek Ngah dari Ulu Yam datang

Macam-macam cerita keluar bila diorang ni berjumpa

Nek Ngah (tudung kuning) pun adik Atok jugak. Nek Ngah ni famous sebab terer bab masak-memasak ni. Kuih Coklat Chip Nek Ngah memang sedap! Masak asam pedas pun power, makan sekali memang tak cukup, mesti nak tambah punya. Tapi, nampak gayanya tahun ni pun tak sempat nak beraya rumah Nek Ngah...huhu

Deretan pendengar-pendengar setia

Babah & Tok Ngah

Kenapa dua beradik ni bercekak pinggang? kui3

Bukan main lagi Nek Ngah bercerita

Then, on Friday we took it easy and rest. Plus, Mak Teh had to go working. So we didn't go anywhere. On Friday, my family went back to Tangkak & singgah rumah Pak Ndak kat Seremban. And I couldn't go with them because they left me in Ampang since my class starts on Monday and so that I don't get trapped in the traffic jam on Sunday.

Tahun lepas sempat pegi rumah Tok Adam kat Kajang, Tok Lang kat Paya Jaras, dan Nek Ngah kat Ulu Yam. Oh, Rumah Mak Long pun tak pegi sebab diorang ada kat Paris lagi sekarang ni.

Ini baru kampung kat Gombak. Kampung kat Parit Kasan, Johor tak pegi lagi...Nak beraya kat Tangkak pun tak dapat...bagi lah cuti raya dua minggu weyh. Seminggu mana cukup! Tak dapat nak jenguk Embah Som, Embah Long, semua lah yang kat kampung tu. Maklum le, orang kampung ni biasanya semuanya sedara. Sebab kahwin dengan orang2 kampung tu jugak. Memang la bukan semua embah2 dengan sedara-sedara tu ingat kat aku, diorang kenal mak bapak aku je, but at least I try to get to know my relatives. Tak de la nanti sedara sendiri pun tak kenal...hampeh betul! So, I don't think visiting relatives is only for the adults i.e. parents. Same goes with parents' friends.

Kesimpulannya, kalau kat Tangkak, ada 3 jenis orang yang kitorang akan pegi beraya rumahnya. First, of course relatives. Second, our babysitters ada dalam 3 orang yang masuk kategori wajib pergi. And third would be my parents' close friends. Dan semua rumah ni aku tak dapat nak pegi gara-gara cuti yang pendek...ceis!

p/s: kalau dah keje & dah kahwin lagi la tak dan nak ziarah semua orang. adeyh...

Selamba dek je ambik family picture kat rumah Nek Mami. haha

Diary Raya - Bahagian 1

2011-09-03T13:30:00.000+08:00

Salam Aidilfitri.
Semoga kita semua beroleh hidayah daripada madrasah Ramadhan yang telah berlalu.

My Raya schedule is quite pack. So, if I happen to only have a week of Raya holiday, I won't be able to visit anyone in Tangkak.

I have 2 kampongs. One is a real kampung in Kota Tinggi (Father's side) and the other one is in Gombak (kampung la sangat...haha). This year, we went to Kota Tinggi first because my Atok in Gombak won't be home until 1st Syawal in the afternoon. So, here goes my cerita bergambar.

Raya pertama

Makan lepas balik sembahyang raya (My father with Embah)

Gitar tutorial di pagi raya?

Tak ramai yang ada kat rumah Embah (atuk dalam bahasa jawa) ni. Ada Embah berdua dengan family Paman Manaf je sebab memang tahun ni bukan turn semua orang untuk raya kat sini dulu.

Berkemas untuk bertolak balik ke Tangkak sebelum bergerak ke Gombak

We had a few hours of break at the pit-stop so that the driver i.e my father could get his rest. Itu je lah masanya untuk aku menjejakkan kaki ke rumah pada hari raya...huhu

Sampai je kat rumah atuk petang tu, yang lain pun dah sampai. Atuk pun baru sampai dari airport sebab flight delayed. Nasib baik dapat balik rumah...Alhamdulillah....

Bersalam-salaman (pusingan pertama) di petang raya pertama....minta maaf dan dapat duit raya

sementara tunggu giliran, posing dulu!

yang berdua ni pun sama

macam akad nikah la pulak bapak aku ni...hehe

Raya kedua

pekerja2 kafe bersedia untuk bekerja

Dari kanan: Manager (boss), akauntan, pencuci pinggan mangkuk (yang pakai apron), yang selebihnya waiter & waitresses

Bila semua dah sampai, bermaafan-maafan pusingan kedua pun bermula...

Ada dua pusingan sebab tak cukup korum untuk buat sehari

syok tengok drama di pagi raya...kalau semua ada lagi havoc!

Makan sekali lagi!! Kali ni baru lengkap sebab rendang dan lontong yang ditunggu telah tiba

kuah lodeh mak teh

nasi impit

rendang pak lang

lontong mak ngah

"air masak ni penting", kata manager

rajin pulak si samad ni panaskan rendang yang mak ngah bawak

makan time!

huhu...orang dapur terpaksa makan kat dapur je sebab tak muat semua nak duduk depan

lepas makan kita berehat-rehat pula

ataupun makan kerepek sambil berborak

mak-mak dan bapak-bapak pula dengar cerita atuk yang baru balik umrah

So, that wrapped up the sesi bermaaf-maafan...lepas ni, kita pergi beraya pula! But that would be in the next post...hehe

A Story of Me, My Car, and the Students

2011-08-28T22:01:00.001+08:00

Salam

Ramadhan has almost ended. it feels too short. especially because this time around I had to spend the first week of ramadhan in Ampang, the next two weeks in Temerloh, and the remaining week in Ampang again. Phew, that's a lot of traveling! May there will be a next year for us all.

Now, back to the topic. the first time I drove a car to go to the campus in Ampang was waaay back during my first year. It was an old dark blue Honda car which I parked at the roofed parking lot labeled USIM in Sri Pandan. Well surprisingly, one morning I found a note slipped under the car wiper. It says that I'm not the rightful owner of the parking lot, so I'm supposed to move out my car and park it somewhere else. Haha, veeery funny. I could guess who wrote the note for they left clues of who they are. But, it's kinda embarassing to say that it was written by U*** students because it wasn't a nice note and quite unpleasant to read. Hmm, simply put, it was an impolite note.

I didn't drive a car from the 2nd year until last year, when I started the Community Health Posting.

Then, I got another note from a different person this time, regarding the parking lot AGAIN. This time, it was full of CAPITAL LETTERS and EXCLAMATION MARKS!! What a rude note! The one who wrote the note called me upon learning that I drove the car and said sorry.

Oh, dear! I have done nothing wrong and I have to read these offensive notes?

And then, when I came back from my vacation to start the new semester, the note has been upgraded into a clamp. Yes, this time, my light blue Honda car was clamped (this is a different car than before). That idiot clamped my car because I didn't call him and ask for his permission to park my car there. It seem to me that he didn't make much effort to confirm that the car isn't a student's car as he didn't see the USIM-labeled lanyard that I purposely hang at the interior rear view mirror. Well, maybe part of it was my mistake and I won't mind taking the blame (if it really is mine). Hold on, I'm confused. why should I ask for HIS permission? I believe we paid the same amount of hostel fees. Or did he paid more? And other people have to ask for his permission to park there? Well, if that is really the case, I won't mind paying more.

But the truth is, that parking lot belongs to someone who rarely came home and not ours. So, in reality, he doesn't have any right to clamp my car at all. Well, I guess I have to settle down with the fact since I've paid the office to un-clamp my car already. I though the matter was settled when that fellow sent a stupid SMS blaming me for his mistake. Haha...he's making a fool of himself and we (several friends, a senior, and me) had a very good laugh. We think that's very silly.

Now, the moral of my story is, people who seem kind and nice could actually be quite rude and annoying. Nice, yet rude. I know it is not fair to label people (especially budak sekolah agama) like that. But it's because of the few people who act harshly and seen by the outsiders. Yalah, sebab nila setitik, rosak la susu yang sebelanga tu, kan?

Malaysia memang maju. Tiap-tiap tahun bertambah bilangan pelajar yang berkereta. Aaah, I see...no wonder I always get those notes. The car that I drove is just an old 1989 car, unlike other people who drove brand-new cars, or their parents' luxurious cars.

Sekadar mengingatkan perkara yang mungkin terlepas pandang. It's true that budak-sekolah-agama are just human, but I believe it is their responsibility to act accordingly and not to hope that people would understand them. My story might not be applicable to all, so I'll apologize in advance to the others.

Makanya, sempena Ramadhan yang hampir pergi, saya titipkan sepuluh jari memohon ampun dan maaf atas kekasaran dan kesilapan.

The one-way road

2011-08-24T00:07:00.000+08:00

salam ramadhan.

sudah masuk hari ke-23. moga kita semua diberkati selalu.

it has been quite some time. i'm not sure if anyone is reading this though.
it's simply because having too many words to say left me wordless.

the fact that the 1st batch has already graduated and started working had a deep impact to me. an impact big enough to shut in myself from the outer world. i've stopped blog-hopping, facebook-ing, net surfing for quite some time. the 3 months holiday just made it worst.

it's a rebellious stage. yes, after all this years. though it feels stupid.
it has always been a one-way road for me.
the road that i'm taking for granted.
because i never choose it, but it still chose me.

i pray that i'll go through this phase safely.

The Exam

2011-04-22T23:37:00.000+08:00

It's the finale.

Mungkin nanti dah takde orang yang akan bagi kad ucapan yang sebegini

Atau yang macam ini

May the 1st batch have a smooth sailing...

The Battle of Yarmouk

2011-03-30T15:43:00.000+08:00

Salam.

Here is a continuation about my journey in Jordan. One of the historical places in Irbid is the battlefield of Yarmouk. It was a major battle between the Muslim Arab forces of the Rashidun Caliphate led by Khalid Al-Walid and the armies of the East Roman-Byzantine Empire. The battle started on 12th August 636 A.D. (6 Rajab 15 Hijri), but only during the last five days from 13th August 636 A.D., the heavy fighting of the decisive.

The Battlefield

The battlefield lies about 65km south-west of the Golan Heights, an upland region currently on the frontier between Israel, Jordan and Syria.. The battle was fought on the plain of Yarmouk, which was enclosed on its western edges by a deep ravine known as Wadi-ur-Raqad, around 200m deep. This ravine joins the Yarmouk River which runs in the Yarmouk Valley. It forms part of the northern borders between Jordan and Syria. the Yarmouk River meets River Jordan slightly south to the lake of Tiberia. Strategically there was only one prominence in the battlefield; a 100m elevation known as Tel al Jumm'a (Hill of Gathering). The Muslim troops concentrated there, having a good view of the plain of Yarmouk. Logistically, the Yarmouk plain had enough water supplies and pastures to sustain both armies. The plain was excellent for cavalry manoeuvers.

The battlefield viewing point

Tourists will be brought to the lands of the village of Saham Al Kfarat, overlooking the central location where Yarmouk Battle took place. The battle ground include Khalid's Hill, named after Khalid Bin Al Waleed, who was leading the Muslim army, and the slopes of the Golan Plateau (Al Wakowsa) where the Byzantines descend to the river bed. We could also see a stretch of the Yarmouk River where the main battle took place in its final days.

The plains of Yarmouk where the battle took place

The Battle

The Muslim army, numbered only about one third of the Byzantine army (40 000 Muslims to 125 000 Byzantines). The Byzantines descend into the river bed followed by the Muslim army, and the fighting spread along the Yarmouk River all the way from north of Mukheibeh, to Wadi Qwaylbeh (Abila). The battle ended by the Muslim fighters chasing the Byzantines in the many ravines and valleys in the immediate vicinity. The leader of the Muslim army, Khalid Bin Al Walid, chased one of the main leaders of the Byzantines (Mahan) and killed him. As for their other leader, Hercules, he managed to escape to Antioch, saying his famous sentence "Farewell to Syria, for the last time". In this battle, about 80 000 fighters from the Byzantines were killed, compared to only around 4000 Muslims fighters.

Yarmouk was a decisive battle in the Islamic history. The Arab historian, Al Tabari, stated "There was never a battle as that of Yarmouk".

Epilogue

The Battle of Yarmouk is seen as an example in military history where an inferior force manages to overcome a superior force by superior generalship. Even though the Imperial Byzantine commanders had the obvious advantages of the favoured battlefield and bigger troops of army, they were at no substantial tactical disadvantage.

Khalid Al-Walid on the other hand, although he commanded a numerically inferior force, he nevertheless had the confidence and foresight to dispatch a cavalry regiment the night before his assault to seal off a critical path of the retreat he anticipated for the enemy army. When he decided to take the offensive and attack on the final day of battle, he did so with a degree of imagination, foresight and courage that none of the Byzantine commanders managed to display.

Khalid Al-Walid as a leader, understood very well the potential strengths and weaknesses of his mounted troops. His strategy in using the mobile guard that could move quickly from one point to another made the Byzantine commanders confused and they were unable to use the advantage of their bigger army effectively. Although they were on the offensive five days out of the six, their battle line remained remarkably static.

This all stands in stark contrast to the very successful offensive plan that Khalid carried out on the final day, when he re-organised virtually all his cavalry and committed them to a grand manoeuvre that won the battle. His leadership quality made the Muslims fighting alongside him placed a great trust in him as their leader. And of course, the biggest factor to their victory is the strong faith to Allah which led to their bravery.

George F. Nafziger, in his book Islam at war, describes the battle as:

"Although Yarmouk is little known today, it is one of the most decisive battles in the human history...Had Heraclius' forces prevailed, the modern word would be so changed as to be unrecognizable"

Silat Lagenda

2011-01-20T12:30:00.001+08:00

Salam.

I just felt like posting something when i finally found this song, ceritera by zainal abidin (I never knew he was the singer until today...haha...)

more than 10 years back, it was like a new phenomenon. but it's a pity that it just faded away by the passing time. moreover, it was never played again in the tv, right? kinda sad.

well, there're 2 songs in this video. have fun!

here's the lyrics:

Tajuk: Ceritera

Penyanyi/Artis: Zainal Abidin

Kurun lalu ada ceritera

Kisah lima pendekar muda

Taat menuntut kehendak raja

Mereka jadi lagenda

Bahan ceritera muda remaja

Satu lagenda yang tak dilupa

Berakhirnya kisah lama

Hilang senjata di dunianya

Timbulnya pula di zaman kita

Senjata di simpan di dalam peti

Ditemani guru yang disegani

Selamat hingga ditemui

Lima pemuda di zaman ini

Mencari dan juga mempercayai

Senjata perlu dikuasai

Kini ia ditemui

Di zaman yang maju teknologi

Kuasa lama mula teruji

Ooh oh Tuah yang mengetuainya

Ooh oh Jebat akur dan menurut

Ooh oh Kasturi, Lekir, Lekiu berjanji

Membantu bila ditandingi

Ini kisah lama orang dagang di Melaka

Anak muda diwariskan keris sakti oh pendekar

It's a sad thing that I can get involved in the Kelab Silat anymore. Well, I don't know what's going to happen to that club in FPSK. Sparring was fun, even though the training was like hell. I'm saying this once only; thanks to the seniors, yes, you seniors, who made it possible for me to participate in the silat tournaments. well, MASUM was a bonus for me. thanks a lot!

oh, yes. Obstetrics written exam is tomorrow. Good Luck friends! (yes, me too)

It has been a long time. Idea Scarcity Syndrome...plus some other factors...hehe

It was my cousin's wedding. The first one among the cousins. Everyone was there and it's fun meeting everyone. Plus, I got a new baju kurung.

Everything was handmade

It was a 2 days event. Well, I couldn't be of much help since I had classes and baby deliveries to conduct (macam la org lain tak boleh buat). I'm sure everyone is exhausted and relieved that everything ended well.

the bride and her groom

(Lepas ni dah kena share Kak Yan dengan Abang Mathir...huhu)

Family members including us, the cousins were supposed to welcome the guests but the best part was, we get to eat as many as we can. I had 3 meals plus 1 take away. Apart from the Hari Raya, this is a good opportunity to meet and know the distant relatives too.

See, everyone got new clothes

Yesterday was windy but hot. Maybe I should drink more yesterday. Now I'm down with mild cold. (Alasan untuk malas buat kerja...huhu). Ah, it's making me sleepy....zzz...

Mat Saleh celup ni my cousin, ada yang berminat?

This weekend we're going to Batang Kali, the groom's house. Ooh, weddings are fun! Oh yes, but tiring. But still, it's fun. So, kenduri Kak Yan dah selamat, I wonder who's next on the list? ;p

Oh, what am I doing writing a blog post when I'm supposed to prepare for the seminar this Friday! (haha...not that I'm sorry)

May Allah bless them both and give them strength through thick and thin

The Forensic Posting

2010-10-31T17:52:00.000+08:00

Salam.

We're now entering the 2nd week of Forensic Posting and the end-posting exam would be on the next Friday.

The posting reminded me of the moment I first met Prof Wafa in the 1st year. My first impression of Prof Wafa was a projection of Dr Donald "Ducky" Mallard, the Chief Medical Examiner for NCIS.

"Ducky"

He is a Scottish but with an English accent. He was called Ducky because first , Mallard is a type of a duck, and secondly, his first name Donald, alludes to Donald Duck. Dr Mallard has been a long-time friends with Gibbs, and graduated from University of Edinburgh Medical School.

Well, I find that he is an interesting character and it's fun watching the series as he talks to the deceased while doing a post-mortem.

I'm not sure if anyone could get what I'm trying to convey (well, maybe I myself am not sure too), but one thing that I'm sure of is tomorrow we are having the History of Medicine in Islam Examination. It's a blessing to have good friends around. Thank you all. ^_^

(lepas ni dah tak dapat jumpa Ustaz Kasyfunnazir...isk isk)

Yes or No?

2010-10-20T17:56:00.000+08:00

one day, during an examination...

E : so, is there any significant differences between these two?

[adeyh, cikgu A cakap ada significant. tapi cikgu B kata takde beza pun. siap mengata cikgu A lagi sebab dia emphasis benda tu...nak jawab ikut jawapan sape ni? try luck amik jalan tengah la]

S : err..some say yes, but some people said no
E : no, you must be certain. Is it Yes, or No?

[huargh, salah langkah! try ikut cakap cikgu A]

S : Yes, there would be slight difference because bla bla bla.....
E : Yes, you must understand the reason behind it bla bla bla....

So, moral of the story?

Hola!

2010-10-09T22:40:00.001+08:00

Salam.

Quite some time passed since I last updated this page. Well, lots of things happened and most important was holiday and raya. If you happen to notice, my blog posts are more when i'm at the hostel, especially when the exam was just around the corner and none when it was holiday.

picture by aw3rz

The closing day of 3S- Salam, Senyum & Sapa programme was eventful. I had fun (oh, bila mau study ni?). Thanks people! I had my eyes set on the Choral Speaking Competition and Dikir Bersalam. They were hillarious! Watching the performances brought me down the memory lane. It reminded me of US, the 3rd batch. I thought it was just me, but then I found out that I wasn't the only one. It is a pity that a part of us are in Temerloh and another part is in Ampang. I think we could've took part if we're all in the same place, won't we?

This was one of the earliest project

Initially, I planned to put pictures of us doing performances but there are too many of it. Plus, I don't have the full set of picture with me. Well, maybe next time. We sure did lots of things together. Not just performances, we also had our picnics at the waterfalls and organized programmes together.

Will there be the next one?

here again

The PAC Run

2010-06-23T23:28:00.000+08:00

Salam.

Kolej Tun Syed Nasir of UKM organized a Prostate Awareness Campaign (PAC) last Sunday. Among the activities are Prostate Cancer Exhibition, Health Screening, and 7 km marathon. 10 of us participated the marathon with an entrance fee of RM 20 per person (which doesn't come from our own pocket).

aen and ainul with the cheerleaders in blue

The last run that I participated was...say...a year ago? After being disappointed not being able to participate anything for the past year, I simply signed in for the run though I've never really like a long-distance run. It has been a long time since I last worked out and the best part was I couldn't even find my running shoes that I had to borrow from someone else.

muka-muka yang lari 7 km tapi tak turun training

We didn't know the track even though we did some of our trainings for the previous runs around Taman Tasik Permaisuri. Not knowing the track could be an advantage if you're in a good mood and surprisingly, I was quite optimist about finishing the run. It took me about one hour to finish the run, yet I still got a medal. For me, there are two possibilities; it's either because I'm in a good shape or it's just that they are not good enough (hehe...no offense).

046; the lucky number?

The event started at about 0700 hrs and we arrived at the hostel after some detours to Jalan TAR and SOGO at around 1400 hrs.

I would like to express my gratitude to:

Farah Diyana for the running shoes
Raihan and Nija for coming as supporters
Najmi Ahmad for the car
last but not least, Aen and Ainul for participating with me

ke arah 2013

Jordan : an escapade

2010-05-01T03:14:00.003+08:00

Salam. A little experience to be shared.

On Tuesday, 13th April we hired Abul A'la with his MPV to take us around Amman to visit a numbers of historical sites. We left Irbid for Amman at 0930 hrs. Amman is built on seven hills, or jabals, each of which more or less defines a neighborhood. Most jabals once had a traffic circle, and although most of these have now been replaced by traffic lights, Amman’s geography is often described in reference to the eight circles which form the spine of the city.

Amman city from The Citadel

The Citadel

The Citadel is the site of ancient Rabbath-Ammon, and excavations here have revealed numerous Roman, Byzantine and early Islamic remains. We paid 1JD* each for the entrance.

1st stop : Amman Citadel (Jabal Qal'ah)

Jabal Qal'ah, situated in the middle of Amman was occupied as early as the Neolithic period, and fortified during the bronze age. The emerging settlement was named Rabbath-Ammon (Great City of Ammonites) and centered here during the Ammonite Period (Iron Age). In ancient times, Amman with its surrounding region was successively ruled by the then-superpowers of the Middle East: Assyria (8 BC), Babylonia (6 BC), the Ptolemies, the Seleucids (3 BC), Rome (1st BC), and the Umayyads (7 AD).It was then rebuilt in the classical style and named Philadelphia, after the Ptolemic ruler of Egypt, King Ptolemy II Philadelphus. The city was incorporated into Pompey the Great's province of Syria, and later into the province of Arabia created by Trajan (106 AD).

When Transjordan passed into Arab rule in the 7th century AD, its Umayyad rulers restored the city's original name of Amman. Neglected under the Abbasids and abandoned by the Mamlukes, the city's fortunes did not revive until the late 19th century, under the Ottoman empire. Amman became the capital of the Emirate of Transjordan in 1921, and of the newly-created Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in 1947. Greater Amman (the core city plus suburbs) today remains by far the most important urban area in Jordan, containing over half of the country's population or about 3 million out of 5 million people.

Things to be seen in The Citadel:

The Temple of Hercules

The great temple of Hercules (Herakles), today also known as the Great Temple of Amman. The temple was built in the reign of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius (161-180 AD). It is larger than any temple in Rome and the massive structure faces east. The temple stands within an immense temenos(sacred precinct) that is surrounded by porticos. The absence of columns on the rest of the structure, has convinced the excavator that the temple was actually left unfinished.

The Byzanthine Church : The remains of a small Byzantine Basilica

The Umayyad Mosque

The Umayyad Palace Complex is known simply as Al-Qaser (the Palace), which dates back to the Islamic Umayyad period around 720 AD. Its exact function is unknown, but the building includes a monumental gateway, cruciform audience hall and four vaulted chambers. A colonnaded street runs through the complex and to the north and east, ruins of the palace grounds are visible.

2nd stop: The Grand Husseini Mosque

It was originally built by Umar Al-Khattab in 640 AD. Then, it was rebuilt by King Abdullah I in 1924 using striking pink-and-white stone. It is also speculated as the site of the Cathedral of Philadelphia. Between the Al-Husseini Mosque and the Citadel is Amman’s famous gold souq, which features row after row of glittering gold treasures.

We forgot to take some shots because we were quite 'busy' shopping at the Wastul Balad which is situated near the mosque.

The abayas there are gorgeous and quite cheap

Al-Mudarraj (The Amphitheatre)

The Roman Amphitheatre viewed from The Citadel

It is situated down the hill from The Citadel and connected to it via a long, deep, and hidden tunnel. It is said to be the most impressive legacy of Roman Philadelphia (Amman) built under Emperor Antoninus Pius (138-161 AD). Its 33 rows once seated 5000 spectators for performances and possibly also had religious significance. It is still in regular use for theatrical and entertainment productions. The Forum was built in front of the Theater under Commodus in 189-190 AD. The entrance fee is 2JD but we didn't enter.

The Ahl Kahfi Mosque incidence

The mosque was built near the cave

Ahl Kahfi was not in our original plan because it was listed in the Jelajah Jordan programme. It was due to some misunderstanding and Abul A'la was very excited to show us the place. And so, we arrived there minutes before Asar. Visitors were told to perform the prayer first before they can enter the cave. The cave is quite small, inside it now are the tombs of the seven sleepers.

May we all be granted the faith as strong as of the seven sleepers

Final stop : Maqam Bilal bin Rabah

He is a great man

The tomb is situated in a village quite far from the main city. We were there for a few minutes and prayed for his well-being.

We then stopped by at a bank because Dr. Anuar needed to withdraw some cash before we head back for Irbid. We arrived at around 0715 hrs and paid Abul A'la 80JD for his service. He was nice and quite friendly. At first, he didn't talk much but as the day passed, he talked more and faster. The night continued with the Pre-clinical Hang-out Programme at Bayt Mohabbatein before we called it a day. Overall, it was an enjoyable trip and worth any trouble.

salam.

A little bit about our journey. we took off from KLIA at 0255 hrs. We had a transit at Doha, Qatar for 8 hours. what's fun there is that we got breakfast and lunch for free. It was cold over there. after having breakfast, most of us slept in the mosque, while some others window-shopped. the flight from Doha to Amman was about 2 hours. we arrived in Amman at about 5 o'clock in the evening. Then, we headed to Irbid by bus. It took another 2 hours.

I'm using my host's laptop. there are 3 of them. they are 2nd year students. it's a nice house. but a bit cold inside especially at nights (read: 2-4 degree Celcius at night). we (Izyan and I) will be staying here for a week and move to a 3rd year's house next week as the 2nd years will be having their exam next week.

yesterday, we went to Balad and Bundle, and did a little bit of shopping there. the drivers here are very..em..courteous i would say. even if they are driving fast, they would allow pedestrians to cross the road. so, it is quite safe to cross the roads.

i think that's all for now. i'll continue my story (with pictures) when I get back to Malaysia.

It has been about a week after the 2nd Professional Exam. That weekend, everybody went back to their hometown. I went back to my 2nd hometown, Gombak...hehehe. my cousin, Kak Yan was engaged. While helping out a bit here and there, Jimbawee the Atok's cat always appear out of nowhere (err..making sure everything goes accordingly?)

I think he's one spoiled pet cat. I just feel like posting something tonight...simply because I have no mood for other things. so, here goes

he's tired, I can assure you ; p

he's really tired now

I think he's aware that people are watching him

sleepy...

gaya penat macam apa je

we have to move out of the Residential College on thursday. ugh! I hate the packing part...

It has almost come to its end...the exam weeks are over. and so now, we wait.

it's a cute calendar isn't it?

KLIBF is fun.
I get to go there on a weekday for the past 4 years. Lucky me!
I spent 150% of my standard bookfair budget last year. well, that's because I went there twice. The crowd is 3x more on the weekends than the weekdays!
This year, I managed to cut down my expenses up to 25%
I'll be waiting for the next bookfair

Kembali Gemilang

Mestica

lyrics by Pahrol Md Juoi

Tanah dijarah bumi berkuah darah

Kitab dihancur senjatanya dilebur

Istana diroboh maruah diceroboh

Islam seakan terkubur selamanya

Pun begitu kenangan tetap menyala

Pada sisa Rom Parsi yang masih nostalgia

Pada kemeriahan terus dipuja

Darah dan keringat mengumpul semangat

Ketulusannya (pernah) menjulang dunia

Keadilannya (pernah) jua dinikmati

Islam pernah merentasi samudera

Menjejaki benua ke benua

Demi menawarkan sejahtera

Bagaikan air mengalir ke muara

Bagai angin menyisir tanpa henti

Islam tetap kan membara di jiwa

Buat umat di serata dunia

Dulu kini selama-lamanya

Islam bukan pada harta

Bukan jua pada senjatanya

Tapi pada iman di jiwa

Taqwa sebagai perisainya

Menghuni di jiwa penganutnya

Tak kan padam sampai bila-bila

Pasti Islam kan bangun semula

Dengan wajah di celahan hiba

Senyuman kan terukir kembali

Kerna janji sejak bermula

Tidak kan padam cahaya Ilahi

Walau dirantai seribu tirani

Walau dibelenggu seribu tragedi
Islam pasti agung kembali

and oh, you can easily google it up if you want to listen to it..

hehe..bukan malas, cuma tak rajin je nak attach kan sekali.

riddles - who am i

2010-02-24T23:53:00.000+08:00

these are the riddles for the Treasure Hunt competition at the English Gateaway. there are 8 of us, rahimie, baihaqi, faris, qayyum, hani, nadia, ummu, and me. see if you can Get the right person for each. ^_^

By car, by bus, or even by aeroplane,
Travelling is what i enjoy the most.

Bees are busy because they are hardworking,
But my weekends are busy because i'm loving it.

My acquaintances are many,
As i moved houses a lot,
Along the west coast i have been,
But not yet the east coast.

Lion is fierce,
Dove is kind,
I may look fierce,
But i am very kind.

Den is to lion,
Burrow is to rabbit,
Hive is to bee,
As Pandan Indah is to me.

Barney loves you,
But Pooh loves me.

My hair is curly,
But i am not Reggedy Ann,
My spectacles are nice,
But i am not the Superman.

Hardy Boys, Famous Five, and Sherlock Holmes,
They are my friends since I was a kid,
Tahan and Kinabalu are gorgeous mountains,
But Ledang is the one that lies in front me.

1924 - part six (end)

2010-02-06T16:09:00.000+08:00

here goes the last part of the song. the lyrics alone are insufficient for the whole history. so i'm suggesting that we find out more about it.

In 1960s

Somalia,Nigeria, Kuwait & Algeria

In 1964 Came the PLO

Yaser Arafat,the US scarecrow

a great decline

In 1969

When the west was training Muslims scholars for hire

Jews were setting Al-Aqsa mosque on fire!

Let us recall 1970

For those who don't remember

That was the year

That we had Black September

The King of Jordan & Yaser Arafat

Began their plot

Shot after shot

Muslim blood spilled

As innocent Muslims were killed

Communism attacked

but Muslims fought back

The sincere Mujahideen of Afghanistan

fought and pushed back the Russians

and then they started to fight among themselves

Khomaine became in power

with the promise of ruling and raising the Ummah to the level of dignity

But his promise never went through

soon after Iran and Iraq went to war

And millions of innocent Muslims died

for 10 years Muslims killing Muslims

Over what?! What else!

The Agenda of the west!

at the end there were no resolution

Today Iran is very much open to democracy and reformation

and the Muslims in Iraq continue to suffer

SubhanAllah!

where is the Amir of the Ummah?!

Another decade gone

But we still don't have Islam

Take a look at the gulf

And the killings of Saddam

Over million Muslims died

But no one answered their cries

In the 1990's

The Muslim genocide

Bosnia

Kosovo

Chechnya

Dagestan

Bring back Islam!

It's the year 2000

And nothing has changed

Past generations has aged

Let us write the next page

It's time for us to change

It's up to you & me

Either we make history

or we become history

1924 - part five

2010-01-23T18:30:00.000+08:00

In 1924

Our state was demolished

Hundred years of planning and their plans were accomplished

Kafirs broke our bondage

Contaminated our knowledge

Better listen up

because you won't learn this in college

Beginning of the end

and the divisions began

Step by step they divided our lands

in 1921

Saudi Arabia & Iran

next year Egypt & In 1932 Iraq

In 1945

Jordan, Indonesia, Lebanon & Syria

Two years later

The division of India

the Muslims took a stand

and demanded the ruling of Islam

so they gave them pakistan

but it was only an illusion

a false resolution

far from the solution

In 1948

The Jews establish their Israeli state

In 1901

the kufar went to Sultan Abdull Hamid the II

and offered to pay tremendous amount of money

to the Islamic State for Palestine.

Sultan Abdull Hamid the II replied:

I am not going to give one inch of Palestine to the jews

as Palestine is not mine to give

but it belongs to the Ummah

and Ummah have shed blood to defend this land

but if one day the Islamic State falls apart

then you can have Palestine for free

but as long as I am alive

I would rather have my flesh be cut up

than cut out Palestine from the Muslim land

I will not allow any carving up while we are alive!!!!!

1924 - part four

2010-01-17T16:41:00.001+08:00

it's not uncommon to hear people complaining about the trouble of knowing and learning the history. but it is the history that makes us who we are.

what happened in the past is the reason of what is happening today. and what happens in one part of the world might affect another part of the world. well, the world is round after all.

so, what i'm trying to say here is that not only the history of our people is important, but there's a need to know about others' history too. wouldn't you agree with me?

After failing on the battlefield
the kufar got together and decided to yield

they said, "we must change the way the Muslims think."

and sure enough the Muslim Ummah began to sink

In 1917

John Belford promised Palestine to the jews

31 years later his promise went through

Britain and France split the Muslim lands

3 years later Islam worst traitor

Mustafa Kamal brought the states fall

In 1920's

Mustafa Kamal, with the help of the British becomes the hero

Hmph! well this so-called hero cancels the authority

of the most powerful system suitable for human beings

The khilafah!!!
he abandon all the rulings of Allah!

He did not stop there!

He abandoned the Azan in Arabic,

he denied Muslim sister from obeying Allah (SWT)

by abandoning the Hijab

All Islamic calendars and holidays were canceled

Yes brothers and sisters!

he changes the Arabic alphabet to Latin

By doing so he made sure

the next generation will be lost

and have no connection to their Islamic roots

as they can not read or write all the Islamic culture that was recorded

This Islamic system sent by the Creator of Al-'alameen

went from the application in life to be in museums

for people to go and see in turkey

1924 - part three

2010-01-13T23:15:00.001+08:00

in this part, we see how great people can be when they practice the real Islam.

let us go back
to the beginning of the century

and review our history

from one side

to the other side of the globe

the system of Islam

Ruled over the world

They went to the Muslims

for the all their solutions

from mathematics to biology

to the advancements in technology

the kafir women

use to imitate our women

they wanted the same respect

that the Muslims sisters were given

while the enemies of Islam

were trying to twist the Quran

trying to write a Surah like Allah's

they all failed miserably

and many of them responded

"Ashhadu -an la Ilaha Ilallah

wa Ashhadu- anna Muhammadun rasullullah"

Allah has challenged the humanity until the day of judgment

to produce a Surah or an Ayah like the Quran

And Allah assures that they will never be able

to make a surah like it

The kufar plan and work to destroy this Deen

and Allah affirms that we too are planning

and if all the people of the world got together

they still could not and will never be able

to put even a scratch a side of a muster seeds

on the throne of almighty Allah (SWT)

1924 - part two

2010-01-11T22:42:00.001+08:00

The Imam of the Ummah is a shield where he protects the Ummah

and where the Ummah fights behind him

Where is this shield today to protect the Ummah?

What happen to this shield to honor and dignify the Ummah?

In 1917 Prime Minister of britain

after entering Jerusalem stated,
"the crusade war has ended."

In the same year the French general, Goro went to the grave of Salahudeen-Ayubi

Salahudeen-Ayubi, the one who 730 years prior

crushed the crusades and liberated Palestine & Syria

he went to his grave in Damascus and kicked it

and said, "Wake up oh Salahudeen we are here!"

How did they do this to you and me

We turn on the TV and all we see

is a world full of casualties

a generation in agony

our Ummah is in misery

songs and history

2010-01-09T18:27:00.002+08:00

salam.

we all listen to many kinds of songs. being an avid song listener, there are two reasons for me two like a song. one is the beautiful melody and music arrangement. and two, the lyrics. to me, song lyrics are like riddles. they are written in a way that sometimes different people can interpret them differently.

and now i'm inviting you, my reader to go through this song. the lyrics are quite long that i decided not to have them all in one post.

1924 by Soldiers of Allah

(part one)

The truth about the state
It wasn't always like this

Let us look back in time

History reminds us

One army

One land

One central authority

Crushing the Romans

Persians put in fear

The Ummah like a Lion

No need to shed a tear

When the village was attacked by the kufar

The Khalife heard the sister cry

And prepared for war

Attacking the city

Destroying it from existence

Lesson # 1

Don't ever mess with Muslims

listen to the song
it's a nice song but i'm sorry that i can only provide the link instead of having the video in this post. the linked video is quite interesting though.

kerja kahwin

2009-12-30T16:15:00.002+08:00

kalau kat area johor, org biasa sebut kerja kahwin. bila keluar johor, baru tau orang tak biasa guna istilah tu.. tak kisah la sebut apa pun, bendanya sama juga...

cuti sekolah = musim orang kahwin

tiba-tiba budak-budak memenuhi ruangan depan

(pengantin lelaki tu dua pupu aku)

kerja kahwin yang ni lain sikit daripada yang aku pernah pergi sebelum ni...pak cik ni buat style jawa...makanan, pakaian, lepas tu siap ada kuda kepang lagi..rumah kami setaman, jalan kaki je pergi rumah dia..

makanan best, ada ikan keli sambal, rendang daging, ayam bakar, dan yang penting sekali sambal goreng..(ish, rugi tak makan banyak sikit hari tu). buah ada beberapa jenis..

sambal goreng ni nama je sambal goreng, tapi sebenarnya tak ada sambal pun..ni style org jawa..kalau pergi kat kampung orang biasa masak. tapi kat bandar ni susah sikit nak jumpa..

nak masak dia senang je..bahan-bahan dia tempe goreng, tauhu goreng, kulit tauhu, suhun (macam mana nak eja ni), kentang goreng, ikan bilis, dan cili kering.. lepas tu, campur semua dan goreng dengan kicap...tambah beberapa benda lagi dan siap..hehe

sedap..tapi kalau yang tak biasa mungkin tak minat sangat lauk ni.

The Accident

2009-11-14T10:38:00.000+08:00

"yeay, nak pegi maen paintball esok"

"kat mana?"

"melaka"

i had a short conversation with my brother on facebook that day. to begin with, i had an uneasy feeling about it. but, since he was happy that he'll be going, i believe it's ok because my parents must've given their permission.

*****

the phone suddenly rang when i was sleeping last night. i looked at the screen. it was mak long.

"syairah, mak long dengar syafiq jatuh, masuk hospital. macam mana dia sekarang? mak long telefon ibu dengan babah tadi, dua-dua tak dapat. mak long risau la"

(eh,weird.i didn't know anything about this. my parents must've told me if anything happened.)

"syairah tak tau la mak long, ibu tak de cakap pun"

"oh, syairah tak tau he? oh, tak pe lah, cuba telefon ibu tanya macam mana"

"ha, ok2, nanti syairah telefon"

*****

minutes later, i called Mother. after saying hello and a little chat, i straightly asked her what has happened. like i've expected, my brother went to Ayer Keroh under the school programme for the PMR students. he was doing the wall climbing when he fell to the ground. it was quite high and his head touches the ground first.

he's now stable and it seems like he's going to be ok. Mother said he'll be discharged by monday if everything is fine. but being a mother, she's worried because it involves the head. as any sensible daughter in the universe, i told her not to worry too much.

and my sister hasn't been told about this. her final exam starts next week. we don't want her worry so much and spoilt her exam.

Here we are living in this world

A journey to the end

We are servants

We bow to Allah

From Him a helping hand

We are different races

From countries far and wide

Together we can face it

Uphold what's pure and right

We can stand and work hand in hand

We're stronger when we unite

Share the words and spread the truth

With Iman Allah's light

In our hearts can't fake it

When Allah's love embraced

Together we can make it

The world a better place

Everything in life

We can take everything in stride

Cause we live in this worldly life

Can only try

Every dream we have

We want to have the very best

But we can only face the test

For we can try

And in team we stand

And in team we can

We can make it through the day

We can help each other one another

And in team we should stay

Let us take the guidance from Allah

And Rasulullah

We can face the world

We can make it through the night

nak dekat exam = skip kelas??

2009-10-15T00:53:00.001+08:00

kukuhkah alasan itu?

hati saya sakit tatkala melihat banyak tempat kosong. cuba bayangkan anda di tempat guru-guru yang mahu mengajar. berkobar-kobar semangat mereka mahu mengajar. berkongsi ilmu dan pendapat. tetapi berapa ramaikah yang hadir? andai kita meminta dengan cara yang baik untuk menangguhkan kelas, masih wujud perasaan tidak enak dalam hati mereka walau secebis. apalah sangat satu atau dua jam untuk guru-guru itu dibandingkan dengan keredaan dan keberkatan ilmu yang diperoleh. mungkin ada yang kata saya ni melebih-lebih. saya tidak peduli.

saya tidak pandai bermain kata. malahan selalu sahaja kata-kata saya disalahtafsir. mahu bencikan saya, silakan. saya tidak kisah. tapi sila fikir dengan rasional tanpa perlu emosional terlebih dahulu

Dalam derita ada bahagia
Dalam gembira mungkin terselit duka
Tak siapa tahu
Tak siapa pinta ujian bertamu

Bibir mudah mengucap sabar
Tapi hatilah yang remuk menderita
Insan memandang
Mempunyai berbagai tafsiran

Segala takdir
Terimalah dengan hati yang terbuka
Walau terseksa ada hikmahnya

c/o
Harus ada rasa bersyukur
Di setiap kali ujian menjelma
Itu jelasnya membuktikan
Allah mengasihimu setiap masa
Diuji tahap keimanan
Sedangkan ramai terbiar dilalaikan
Hanya yang terpilih sahaja
Antara berjuta mendapat rahmatNya

Allah rindu mendengarkan
Rintihanmu berpanjangan
Bersyukurlah dan tabahlah menghadapi

c/o

Segala takdir
Terimalah dengan hati yang terbuka
Walau terseksa ada hikmahnya

repeat c/o 2x

Allah rindu mendengarkan
Rintihanmu berpanjangan
Bersyukurlah dan tabahlah menghadapi
Segala ujian diberi
Maka bersyukurlah selalu

percaya atau tidak, air melimpah dari tingkat atas sehingga ke tingkat bawah. gara-gara tidak sedar paip terbuka sebab bekalan air telah terputus sejak malam. keadaan bertambah buruk dek saliran perpaipan yang tersumbat.

here are some pictures:

it cost me rm15 to send it to the laundry

kalau lompat atas ni macam lompat kat padang rumput yg basah..

baru je beli tahun lepas..sedihnya..

timbunan nota yang separa basah

so people, moral of the story is always be careful...check things before you went out of the house...jangan dah terhantuk baru nak tengadah

sebenarnya banyak pengajaran yang boleh diambil. depends on how deep you want to think about it. i leave it to you guys..

hebat. itu yang dapat saya simpulkan. antara universiti yang menarik perhatian saya adalah Universiti Chulalongkorn, National Singapore University, UNIMAS, serta pasukan kegemaran saya, Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia.

~balik kampung~

2009-09-16T23:18:00.000+08:00

"bila balik kampung?"

soalan yang paling popular dalam seminggu sebelum cuti raya..

"raya kat mana tahun ni?"

soalan yang kedua popular..

semua orang suka bila cerita pasal kampung..hmm pernah tak terfikir kalau tiba-tiba terkandas kat kl ni, dan memang tak ada harapan langsung untuk pulang ke kampung halaman...

ye..mari beraya di gombak..huhu

oh, apa yang aku mengarut ni?

p/s: ramadhan masih berbaki beberapa hari, mari manfaatkan sepenuhnya

taubat seorang hamba

2009-09-15T01:14:00.001+08:00

saja nak share lirik lagu ni..

Hati Hitam Mengenangkan
Dosa Dosa Yang Ku Lakukan
Oh Tuhan Maha Kuasa
Terima Taubat Hamba Berdosa

Ku Akui Kelemahan Diri
Ku Insafi Kekurangan Ini
Ke Kesali Kejahilan Ini
Terimalah (3x) Taubatku Ini

Telah Aku Merasakan
Derita Jiwa Dan Perasaan
Kerna Hilang Dari Jalan
Menuju RedhaMu Ya Tuhan

Di Hamparan Ini Ku Meminta
Moga Taubat Ku Diterima

sumbangkah tarian itu?

2009-09-02T04:29:00.004+08:00

Tarian itu, apa benar katanya
kami jua yang menyongsang rentak
silapnya lagu, sumbangnya rentak
terlipat langkah

mungkin ada benar katanya
kami tiada pernah mengerah segala keringat
untuk menari di pentas ini
tiada berusaha sekerasnya untuk yang terbaik
untuk mereka, untuk dia
untuk kita

sungguh tarianku terganggu
bait kata menista langkah
biar itu bukan yang benar
namun bagaimana harus akhirnya
sumbang dibawa lagu yang cela

andai begitu ucapnya
akan seruling ini terus berbunyimengejar tari, menggerak langkah
menghayun jemari menyinsing kaki
membiar akhirnya
segala dipentas itu yang dicari
menari kanNan dan kiri

kaiy-ium

semua juga memberi mesej sama. keringat yang dikerah masih belum cukup. tarian masih sumbang, lagu yang dimainkan masih bercela. niat mereka tulus, namun banyak hati yang terasa resah. telinga-telinga yang mendengar terasa lali.

usah gusar, semua itu hanya secebis onak yang menambah warna-warni hidup. tiadalah hidup andai semuanya seperti yang diinginkan malah kita maklum bahawa tak semua yang kita inginkan itu baik untuk kita. dek kerana terlalu biasa berada di atas, tatkala tiba-tiba terjatuh sakitnya terasa bisa. walaupun lukanya mungkin tidak sebesar mana. tarbiah datang dengan pelbagai cara. terserah kepada kita untuk berfikir. kata orang, mereka yang bijak adalah yang mengambil pengajaran daripada kesilapan sendiri, tapi lebih bijak jika belajar daripada kesilapan orang lain.

barangkali kita harus belajar supaya tidak begitu mudah untuk berpuas hati. belajar untuk tidak terlalu kasihankan diri sendiri. juga belajar untuk menahan calaran-calaran emosi dek bait-bait kata yang mengguris hati dan mencelarukan fikiran. boleh jadi, ada urusan hati yang masih belum selesai..

diri ini juga bukan siapa-siapa. hanya musafir yang menumpang di bumi bertuah. sekadar cebisan rasa buat renungan, agar kaki yang melangkah bertambah teguh kerana kita sedar bahawa yang lebih besar sedang menanti di hadapan...

it's a day

2009-08-22T23:00:00.000+08:00

sambutan bulan kemerdekaan. ada mamcam2 pertandingan, kuiz, nasyid, video pendek, busana muslimah....tahniah buat penganjur.

bagus juga, bila lagi mahu berkumpul dan berkenalan dengan junior.dapat kenal muka pun jadilah..

sempat juga jumpa senior2 yg jarang2 dapat dilihat di fakulti ...

tambah seronok untuk sertai pertandingan nasyid. sudah lama tiada aktiviti itu. gembira untuk berkumpul dan berlatih. macam2 kerenah. tambah seronok bila dapat bermain alat perkusi.

pelbagai kreativiti busana

adik2 tahun satu yg mendedikasikan lagu buat senior2

lagu 'senyum' daripada kakak2 kami

yang pasti akan dirindui

for my dear friends, the memories and experiences that we had are priceless. i love you all.hope this one is not the last. to those who had taught me how to play konga, i thank you all. ada yang tanya kalau2 saya biasa main konga masa zaman2 sekolah dulu. jawapannya tidak. hanya berpeluang bila masuk fpsk. jadi, kalau anda rasa saya bermain dengan bagus, kredit harus diberi kepada 'cikgu2' yg tak lokek mengajar dan berkongsi ilmu..

secara keseluruhannya, hari ini sangat menarik, seronok dan penuh dengan pengajaran. alhamdulillah 'ala kulli ni'mah...semoga ramadhan kali ini lebih baik dan kita diberi rahmat untuk bertemu dengan malam itu..

"KUALA LUMPUR: Muar di Johor serta tiga bandar di Sarawak iaitu Sibu, Miri dan Samarahan, mencatat kualiti udara tidak sihat hari ini dengan bacaan Indeks Pencemar Udara (IPU) melebihi 100. Jabatan Alam Sekitar (JAS), melalui laman webnya, berkata kualiti udara di empat bandar itu merosot dengan bacaan IPU yang tinggi iaitu Sibu (197), Miri (176), Samarahan (122) dan Muar (135). "

i found the article in berita harian online (wonder if we'll find this kind of story in kosmo, metro, etc.)

when i came home for mid sem holiday last week, it was hazy. a condition that is rarely seen before. tangkak today is different from what it was. honestly, i like it better when not so many development were done.

zaman sekolah dulu, sangat seronok berbasikal ke sekolah. lagi-lagi kalau nak pergi darjah khas. memang best. udara pagi sabtu selalunya nyaman dan kereta pun tak banyak.

bila dah ada lesen motor, seronok pecut pagi-pagi nak pergi sekolah...sejuk...kalau pergi tuisyen malam-malam pun masih boleh menikmati udara malam.waktu tu angin malam masih sejuk.dah ada lesen kereta pun masih lagi suka naik motor. sebab suka open air.

tapi sekarang, dah tak berani nak bawa motor. joging dengan adik apatah lagi.basikal pun dah bertahun terperuk kat tepi rumah.

kalau dulu cuma ada satu tempat je yang ada traffic light. sekarang sampai saya pun dah lost count. dulu kereta pun tak banyak di atas jalan. dulu kesesakan lalulintas sangat jarang. kalau ada pak cik polis trafik biasanya sebab traffic light rosak. itu pun zaman sekolah rendah dulu.

tapi sekarang dah lain.semuanya gara-gara udara yang semakin tercemar. pokok-pokok besar pun banyak dah kena tebang. bahaya katanya, takut dahan patah dan hempap orang lalu lalang.kecewa betul bila nampak pokok kekabu besar yang famous sebab bawahnya ada warung sarapan dah tak ada. pokok-pokok besar tepi sekolah pun dah kena tebang sebab nak bina bangunan baru 3 tingkat untuk sekolah.tapi, yang ditebang tak diganti dengan yang setanding dengannya...

sekadar berkongsi cerita dan kehampaan.

juga berkongsi ingatan bahawa bumi semakin tenat.

let's conserve the energy and sources. and if next time you see me carrying a reusable shopping bag, you know why...

what i did may seem simple, but it will bring big effect if everybody is doing the same thing. and this is merely one example.

the issue that i brought forth may not get the same amount of attention as the PPSMI or ISA. but it is something that was initially small but has becoming bigger day by day.

jolok, jangan tak jolok

tak lepas peluang panjat pokok manggis

it was fun. too fun that i've lost my words to describe. maybe later when i've got better pictures from arif, i'll let the pictures talk.

what we've done:

visit hospital Melaka
LDK: Muslim doctors surviving in a foreign land
meeting the people of Kg Melekek (very friendly people they are)
health screening session
play tug-of-war aka tarik tali (it was fun)
play futsal (funny!)
menang sorak, hamper tergadai (hahaha)
photography session (this is a must)
petik buah, makan, dan bawak balik (best giler! and now my cough is getting worse)

regardless where we go, the message and the advices given to us are same

study well
be good muslim doctors
help those in need
jgn lupa daratan

as to conclude, it was an enjoyable, meaningful day. i hope that everybody gets optimum benefit from the programme. thanks to everyone who had make it a success.

i have no explanation to why these kids are attached to me

2009-06-13T00:16:00.000+08:00

this is the 1st week of the 5th semester. at the end of the year, we're going to sit for the 2nd professional exam. i'm excited. seriously. dah lama x rasa se-excited ni. dah lama juga x rasa nak buat sesuatu dgn betul2 bersungguh. alhamdulillah hati saya dah tenang.my mind is clear. i know now why i'm here.i know what i want. thanks everyone for helping me in finding my own way. you don't know how much it means to me. i realised that i've got what i wanted since i'm in the university. i've done numbers of things that i wanted to do before. even things that i've never thought that i would do. but unconsciously, i've lost another part of me. people can't really get it when i complained about it.(well, at least they listened to me) but now,insyaallah i'm me again. my friend said that i should find a 'booster maintainer'. to maintain the high spirit that i have now. hehe...he's right. sedangkan iman manusia akan turun naik,apatah lagi semangat membara yang wujud pada permulaan semester. ya, saya mmg insan yang lemah. sila betulkan saya jika saya tersilap arah.maaf atas segala salah dan silap serta keterlanjuran kata. p/s: tahniah kpd semua yg berjaya menghadapi supplement paper. korang sebenarnya orang yang terpilih,sebab org yg betul2 kuat je boleh ambik paper tu. i know that i'm not that strong.

pisang dan kg

2009-05-29T14:57:00.000+08:00

pisang boleh tambahkan berat???

kalau dalam tournament silat, ada dua senario yang biasa dilihat.

pertama, pesilat yang menjaga diet dan hanya makan sedikit. maknanya berat dah terlebih.

yang kedua, pesilat yang berkawan baik dengan makanan terutamanya pisang. yang ni sebab berat badannya tidak mencapai ke tahap yang sepatutnya.

senior kata pisang boleh tambahkan berat badan dengan kadar segera.

i have a number of questions in my mind.

scientifically, macam mana berat boleh bertambah?
pisang sahaja yang boleh? makanan lain?
macam mana makan pisang boleh tambah berat?
kalau nak tambah berat 1kg macam mana?

anyone with answer(s)?

sedikit fakta:

hampir 10 biji pisang ditelan dalam masa sehari masa kat uum sebab desperate nak tambah berat badan. tapi macam tak berapa berkesan
faiz yang main kelas J turun 9 kg sebelum ke uum. tapi sayang, dia kalah timbang juga akhirnya
berat badan fikeri turun dan naik dalam masa yang singkat. kesian kat dia kena makan dalam jumlah yang banyak dan kuantiti yang banyak
hanya 3 penyertaan dihantar untuk kelas I putera pada masum '09
hampir 70% duit dibelanjakan untuk beli makanan

MASUM 09

2009-05-27T17:40:00.000+08:00

sawah padi saujana mata memandang

akhirnya sampai juga ke jelapang padi Malaysia. perjalanan ke utara mengambil masa hampir 8 jam. namun, 8 jam tidak dibiarkan berlalu begitu sahaja. pemandangan di sepanjang lebuhraya utara-selatan sungguh mempesonakan. peluang untuk menikmati ciptaanNya tidak harus dilepaskan.

berlatarbelakang Dewan Muadzam Shah

dewan berhawa dingin, namun tetap tidak mampu menandingi kesejukan di FPSK

congratulations abg man for the new baby!

Team silat USIM dan UKM bagaikan adik-beradik. setiap kali tournament pasti tidak berjauhan. mungkin kerana kita berguru dengan coach yang sama. pertemuan di antara pesilat USIM dan UKM memang sentiasa dinantikan. seronok juga melihat pelepas bercanda sesama sendiri di gelanggang. sehingga kadangkala ditegur oleh wasit ;)

"kita bukan orang lain, adik-beradik juga"

kata senior, itu tagline team silat. ya, begitu lebih seronok. dalam masa beberapa minggu kita sudah boleh bergurau senda. pada mulanya terasa kekok juga. maklumlah, cuma saya seorang dari kampus Pandan. bukan selalu pelajar di kampus Pandan dapat bertemu dengan mereka di Nilai. keluarga silat masum kali ini seramai 27 orang. bertambah lagi kenalan. kebanyakannya junior. oh, sudah jadi senior saya. dulu saya rasa seronok menjadi yang paling muda. kini, saya akan menjejakkan kaki ke tahun tiga. tingkah laku dan pemikiran harus seiring dengan peningkatan usia.

with the seniors

MASUM 2009 adalah yang terakhir buat mereka. saya mengenali mereka sejak zaman tamhidi lagi. pasti terasa juga kehilangan bila mereka tiada lagi pada tahun depan.

ya, MASUM 2009 satu kenangan manis buat saya. target saya kini MASUM 2010. biar pun saya seorang, tidak mengapa.

2009-05-15T11:53:00.000+08:00

i spent the last two days idling in front of the big screen tv when the whole silat team are training for MASUM. it's fun watching tv especially with this cousin of mine. but i know, later i'll be in big trouble if i'm not fit enough i got fever. not a very good time for a fever i must say. i only go for training for a day and the next day, the temperature is 38.5. after spending three days of torture at the hostel, i took a two day leave and stay and my aunt's house. and i'm feeling better. i should came out with this idea sooner though. staying at nilam court is undescribable. finding food to eat is the biggest issue. and i don't really like the idea of training at the pavillion. i'm going there back this evening. on may 17th, we're going to UUM. i spent two weeks of my holiday here, and i hope it's worth it. well, next time i'm sure i'll just spend my holidays at home. it's more fun. i learned my lesson.

phew!

2009-04-30T22:09:00.001+08:00

haven't write for some time..kinda bz with after exam activities..hehe alas, i'm home. tapi esok nak gi kl balik..ceh! nak buat camne, dah mom's family kat sekitar lembah kelang..orang raya balik kampung, aku balik bandar...ajele... lega bila dah keluar result. seronok bila nak bercuti. tapi ada pulak manusia yang nak mengganggu ketenteraman hidup aku. menyemak je.. seronok sebab 'kami yang berlima' (special case ;p) lulus..alhamdulillah. tapi terhilang sikit rasa seronok bila ada sahabat yang kena ambik supplement paper.hehe..xpe kwn2, jgn risau. kitorang tggu. insya allah, kita sama2 grad 2013 nanti

thanks bai for the cake. we enjoyed it heartily

it's time for us to say goodbye to the Al-Razi lecture hall. no matter how much we loved it, we are leaving..hehe

look carefully , what do you see? this is what you get if your handphone jumps from level 11 to level 2. it's a disaster. the broken pieces are scattered on the stairs. the 1st piece was at level 2. the last piece found was at level 8. some parts was nowhere to be seen. moral of the story: don't test Newton's theory of gravity with your phone. it's fatal

the so called road relay

2009-03-16T11:42:00.000+08:00

the whole road relay team. congrats everyone.

macam-macam cerita di sebalik acara road relay. dari jarak keliling stadium kepada 600m di atas trek yang baru siap dibina.kemudian tukar lagi jarak kepada 400m di atas trek. itu pun pada saat-saat akhir sebelum larian dimulakan.haha road relay la sangat. ni dah jadi 7x400m ni. tak cerita lagi pasal peraturan-peraturan baru yang hanya kami ketahui pada hari sebelum pertandingan. walhal pasukan lain telah pun maklum mengenainya.

"saya akan buat sesuatu supaya kamu tak menang"

kalau orang yang berkata itu pengurus atau ahli pasukan lain, memang biasa la. semua orang nak menang. tapi kalau kata-kata itu keluar daripada pengajur, hmm tak tau la nak kata apa.

'the not-to-be-named person' tahu bahawa FPSK mampu mendominasi acara larian kerana kami mempunyai latihan yang boleh dikatakan tersusun.saya berani kata dalam acara sebegini, FPSK sebenarnya digeruni. mungkin itu taktiknya untuk tidak mahu kami menang, mungkin juga sekadar kebetulan tetapi bila teringat bahawa kata-kata itu pernah dituturkan serta insiden-insiden lain yang telah berlaku, kami sudah tidak ada cara untuk bersangka baik.

dengan perubahan-perubahan yang dilakukan secara mengejut, mungkin kami menghadapi sedikit masalah kerana separuh daripada pelari-pelari kami adalah pelari jarak jauh. jarak 400m memerlukan pecutan tidak seperti acara jarak jauh yang memerlukan stamina dan daya ketahanan yang tinggi.

buatlah apa sekalipun, kami tetap gah dengan kemenangan emas berganda. malah, dengan pungutan mata dari acara 'road relay', fakulti kami telah menduduki tangga kedua dalam ranking keseluruhan setelah SUFA 2009 melabuhkan tirai.

katak dalam gelas

2009-02-23T12:07:00.000+08:00

seorang pakar motivasi pernah berkata bahawa pepatah "katak dalam tempurung" pada zaman globalisasi ini nampaknya sudah tidak relevan. istilah katak dalam gelas lebih sesuai. katak itu terdedah kepada persekitaran luar, tetapi ia tidak tahu atau tidak mahu ambil tahu apa yang berlaku di luar. ia lebih selesa dengan keadaannya sekarang dan tidak mahu berubah. selesa dengan menyagka bahawa semua orang juga sedang bahagia dan aman sepertinya. logik juga kata-kata pakar motivasi itu. perkembangan dan kecanggihan teknologi menjadikan perhubungan semakin mudah dan maklumat lebih mudah digapai. namun, kadangkala kita terleka dan tidak sedar akan keadaan orang lain. kadangkala kita tak sedar betapa beruntung dan bertuahnya kita. dalam keadaan separuh sedar, kita mengeluh dan mengeluh...walhal pada waktu itu dalam situasi yang serupa, keadaan orang lain lebih menyedihkan berbanding apa yang kita miliki. dalam diam, kadangkala orang lain mentertawakan keluhan-keluhan kita yang agak keanak-anakan itu. sedar atau tidak, sebenarnya keluhan-keluhan itu menunjukkan kelemahan dan kedangkalan kita. orang di sekeliling menilai kita, melihat kita sebagai orang yang lemah dan agak cetek pemikirannya. mengeluh, meminta simpati, mahu diberi bantuan. pendek kata mahu bergantung kepada orang. percaya bahawa diri layak mendapat itu dan ini. merungut apabila kekurangan itu dan ini. walhal apa yang dimiliki dianggap sangat mewah oleh orang lain di luar sana. mengapa mahu mengeluh? apa yang boleh dicapai dengan mengeluh? bukankah lebih baik sekiranya kita menerima keadaan dan berusaha bagi mengatasi penyebab kepada segala keluhan itu? ayuh, pecahkan gelas yang ada di sekeliling. keluar dari zon selesa. selami keadaan di luar sana. syukuri apa yang dimiliki.hargai kesenangan yang ada. p/s: respon yang agak dramatik kepada cerita yang baru didengari dalam kelas bahasa inggeris..hehe..

hectic

2009-02-19T10:21:00.000+08:00

minggu yang penuh berperasaan. gembira, seronok, sedih, anxious, thrilled, eager, kecewa, risau etc,etc,etc... minggu yang sangat padat. interfac debate, dinner fpsk, dan yang paling penting sekali, exam mid sem. ugh!! mid sem exam : i didn't really studied. i finished a whole week at home doing 'home activities'. and studying has long been erased from the list of the activities. dinner fpsk : we would've enjoyed whole-heartedly making the play if the week wasn't that packed. the exam was kinda spoiling the joy. joining the props team was fun. interfac debate : it was fun. my teammates are great! but it was disappointing that we had to meet each other at the semi-finals. the finals was boring even though the topic was interesting. blame fkp for not setting up an interesting case. now : i'm lost(almost suffocated) in the stacks and piles of notes. neuro-anatomy, nervous system....and the 1st pro exam is only 59 days away (they're starting the countdown).i pray that i'll survive...amin...

go fpsk!!

2009-02-11T14:27:00.000+08:00

salam. i wish good luck to all debaters for the interfaculty debate this saturday.( i bet we'll need it) to bring back the trophy to fpsk is not impossible. though it's not an easy task. our greatest competitor would be the fsu. especially when all 6 teams managed to the next round while one of our arabic team didn't make it. if all of our 5 teams could make it to the finals, then the trophy would certainly be ours..hehe.. motions : 1)globalization beats its own purposes 2)oil subsidy should be revised 3)the government should stop bailing out the industrial sectors

Another Visit To The Historical City

2009-01-27T21:28:00.000+08:00

8 years back, our parents brought us to visit the historical places in Malacca. it was fun.there are soooo many places to see. we all know what's there in The Historical City and we only have to walk from one place to another.one day is won't be enough to visit the places, especially if you're appreciating those relics.

(credit to my brother)

semalam, pergi melaka lagi. kali ni malam pulak. sampai dalam pukul 10.ramai jugak orang. cuti2 ni, ramai orang keluar dgn family. mcm kitorang la.malam tu kat tepi sungai melaka ada pameran lampu sempena tahun baru cina.

berlatarbelakang replika beca dan kereta lembu

lepas tu, jalan kaki pergi kat menara taming sari. panjang betul barisan orang nak naik menara tu. kami pun naik jugak...it's not like any typical tower, there's no elevator or stairs.instead, the observation deck that moves up and down, providing the view of the city as it moves.

the observation deck behind

by that time, it was past midnight. on the way back, we stopped near the A'Famosa. the crowd has gone though some people are still there.it's a good opportunity to get a few snaps.

in front of A' Famosa at 0100 hrs

then, we had supper before we go home. this is the kind of holiday our parents always give us. doesn't cost much, but still enjoyable.thanks mom and dad!!

The VC Trophy

2009-01-16T10:49:00.000+08:00

we're currently short of debater. why? because of they say there can only be 2 person in a team who had represented the university.even if that person is a reserved. the problem is, we had a hard time finding people to participate the royals last time. 3 teams=12 people.6 out of 12 are FPSK debaters and it make it harder to find new debaters. plus the fact that it's going to be held in the same week with the mid-semester exam.

7-8th feb : preliminary round

9th feb : holiday

10th feb : anatomy exam

currently we need at least one person to make up 2 teams without any reserve. hope we'll find that person.asap.

isu biasiswa

2009-01-11T17:36:00.001+08:00

malam pengenalan mpp. dlm byk2 ucapan mlm tu, ucapan dato' shukor antara yg menarik perhatian (though it's quite long). ada la beberapa kali dgr dia berucap, one that i can conclude is that he speaks from his heart. sbb tu la berkesan (unless you're not listening). Isu JPA mlm tu calon2 dari pandan ada ckp pasal biasiswa lambat dapat. ada yg kata terpaksa korek tabung utk beli makanan. setakat yang saya tau, senior2 ada yg dah nak habis semester pun x dpt2 lagi biasiswa.mmg kesian la.tp, saya bukan nak citer pasal senior. based on my observations of my own batch regardless medical or dental, i would say that dato' shukor had a point about financial management.. though i'd say that ramai jugak yg pandai jaga duit and i respect those people. tapi...ramai jugak yg x berapa nak control duit belanja.belanja ikut hati, kadang2 sampai tahap membazir pun ada. pernah ada yg pergi shopping sampai 2-3 ratus semata-mata sebab tension. ada jugak yg sedar diri terlebih berbelanja, tp dia kata 'nak buat mcm mana, mmg saya mcm ni..' ada jugak yang seleranya agak mahal..dan akhirnya menyusahkan diri sendiri mcm2 ragam.. ada kwn2 yg parents dia loaded skit, biasiswa jpa dah habis,masih ada biasiswa FaMa...tapi kesian la kat parents.patutnya dah dapat biasiswa ni x payah la nak mintak duit lagi.biarlah duit tu parents kita guna untuk benda2 lain.utk diorang sendiri,sbb selama diorang jaga kita apa2 pun mesti lebihkan kita. kalau nak beli sesuatu utk kepuasan sendiri mesti fikir berkali-kali sbb takut nanti nak guna duit tu untuk anak2. kalau yang ada adik2, biarlah duit tu parents kita guna untuk adik2.kurang sikit beban sbb x payah fikir pasal kita. kawan2, bukan niat nak mengutuk atau memburukkan, tapi nak ajak kwn2 berubah. belajar dpd pengalaman. duit xkan dtg bergolek..we have to work for it. skrg mungkin x rasa, tp nanti bila dah kerja, baru kita rasa.macam mana susahnya ibubapa kita cari duit.waktu tu nanti baru kita nampak betapa pentingnya financial management. lagi satu, duit biasiswa sebenarnya satu amanah..we all know very well where does the money come from. buka sikit mata,luaskan sikit pandangan..tengok dunia luar.macam mana org yg kurang bernasib baik kat luar sana. mcm mana susahnya nak cari duit.dan macam mana peritnya nak besarkan anak2 kalau duit yang ada x seberapa. so friends, let's sit for a while and reflect. how did we spend our money all these years.how can we improve our financial management. and most important, how can we contribute with it. minta maaf kalau ada terkasar kata.i know i'm not that good in writing things like this.

kami juara

cerita hati...

2008-12-22T10:12:00.000+08:00

sungguh la, jihad yang paling besar adalah jihad melawan hawa nafsu.mengawal atau dikawal..x mudah untuk mengawal, tak sukar juga untuk dikawal..dibiarkan, ia menjalar, meracuni segenap ruang yang ada.dari hati hinggalah ke riak wajah dan seterusnya mempengaruhi tingkah laku..dipendam, ia meletup,jadi harus bagaimana?satu yang boleh dilakukan, tapi ia x mudah..seolah-olah berada di medan perang bersendirian...but bear in mind my dear, innallaha ma'a assobirin...He's always with you when you remember Him. ya Allah, berikanku ketabahan dan kekuatan untuk menjaga hatiku..berikanlah aku kesabaran...

royals debate

2008-12-09T21:49:00.000+08:00

salam i spent more than a week for the debate..when come to think about it, i don't really know why did i enter the competition..huhu masalah gak.. the experience i had from last year is a big help..i get to know many things about debating..provided that i've just started debating last year. 4 days at iiu, aku macam org xde perasaan..menang ke, kalah ke, aku buat selamba je..kesian kat teammates lain yg excited bila mng..well, the fact is we lost 3 on the 1st day, then won another 3 on the 2nd day..meaning that we won against teams that are more or less at the same level with our team..walaubagaimanapun, it's a record that we won 3..last year,dorang mng 2 je..bangga la jugak.. i believe USIM debating team won't be able to win the trophy if the status quo doesn't change..training method needs to be fixed..instead of last minute training, debaters need continous training plus, keep in track on what's happening around them...only then we'll have equal chance to win. i don't know whether there'll be next year for me..

cuti..

2008-12-09T21:10:00.000+08:00

salam.. kwn2 ada yang dah beransur pulang ke hostel..ada yang balik khamis ni... ada jugak yang buat cuti sendiri,balik hari ahad (antaranya aku la tu..),ada yang tahun depan..sebab rezeki dia pegi haji tahun ni... huhu..rasa mcm menyesal plak buat cuti sendiri..terlajak sampan boleh diundur, terlajak cakap buruk padahnye..tu la, lain kali pikir la abis2..baru buat keputusan..

ceritera di kala exam

2008-11-13T09:06:00.000+08:00

salam saje je nak share..waktu2 exam ni mcm2 la ragam kawan2.bak kata cikgu rahim, layan je la musim2 exam ni..hehe semalam exam anatomy, so, malam sebelum tu biasa la semua org revise balik.yg paling saya kesian ada sorang kawan ni, tension sampai baca buku pun x masuk.dia kira antara top student jugak la.so, pada saya yg jarang2 score ni, saya rasa mesti dia dah ready,x yah la baca teruk2..x sangka pulak dia tension..sampai menangis la jugak..kesian...tgh2 study, dia telefon kawan, cakap dia tension.pastu macam2 jugak la diorang sembang.x delah curi dengar, tapi terdengar la jugak..hehe.. kesian la kat dia, mungkin pressure besar. people have high expectation on her. satu sebab dia top student masa sekolah, pastu, parents dia pun doktor..tu yg lagi menambah tension... as for me, as long as my parents don't show a tensed face when i told them my result, i'll be happy..hehe..except if i failed..tapi x lah se'tension' org lain...alhamdulillah.. p/s:petang ni exam hubungan etnik, pastu isnin ada physio...semoga kami dapat jawab dgn baik..amin..

setiap yg hidup pasti akan mati

sekadar nak berkongsi cerita.. minggu lalu, seorang sahabat(housemate) kehilangan ayahnya.pemergiannya agak mengejutkan.kami terkesima.masakan tidak, semasa kami sedang bersiap2 pada pagi tersebut, seorang sahabat datang ke bilik "ayah kak maryam dah tak ada.." sahabat tersebut pulang ke kampung selama beberapa hari.sepanjang ketiadaannya, saya sempat terfikir apa agaknya yg perlu saya lakukan bila dia kembali ke kl.bimbang, kalau2 terguris hatinya yg sedang bersedih. masakan tidak, belum pernah saya mempunyai pengalaman sebegitu. pada hari sahabat saya pulang ke kl, saya lihat riak wajahnya seperti biasa.saya kira dia sedang berusaha menyembunyikan kedukaan.kami berbual seperti biasa. malam itu, setelah maghrib berjemaah, kami duduk bersembang tentang beberapa perkara.tanpa saya duga, sahabat saya itu membuka cerita tentang kematian ayahnya. katanya jgn risau akan keadaanya, mmg la sedih, tetapi dia terima pemergian ayahnya dengan hati yang terbuka dan redha.katanya lagi, kita terimalah ketentuan Allah.lihat dari sudut yang positif.alhamdulillah, ayahnya meninggal pada 17 ramadhan, bulan yang mulia.hari nuzul quran pula. katanya lagi, mungkin kalau ayahnya sembuh dan keluar dari hospital keadaannya tidak seperti biasa.mungkin memerlukan lebih perhatian dan penjagaan daripada keluarga.kalau dah begitu, mungkin anak2 akan derhaka. katanya lagi, semasa mengetahui keadaan ayahnya, tidak pula dia berdoa agar disembuhkan ayahnya. sebaliknya, dia berdoa agar Allah memberikan yg terbaik kepada mereka sekeluarga... sepanjang mendengar kata2nya, saya fikir dia akan mengalirkan air mata kerana sebak.sebaliknya, dia sangat tenang. sungguh, tidak pernah saya bertemu dgn sesiapa sepertinya.sangat redha dan ikhlas dgn ketentuan Allah. kagum saya terhadapnya.kagum lagi saya terhadap kedua ibu bapanya.berjaya mendidik anaknya sebegitu rupa. persoalannya, mampukah saya menjadi seorang anak sepertinya? namun, persoalan yang lebih besar lagi ialah mampukah saya untuk mendidik anak2 agar menjadi tiang dan kekuatan agama??mampukah kita? sama2lah kita fikirkan dan berusaha ke arahnya. semoga kita sama2 berjaya..amin...

"ni kalau usik ni, mesti patah...baik jgn usik..." Pang!! ha, kan dah patah! dah tau nak patah,buat apa usik?? x tau la..saje nak tau..nak buat eksperimen... pernah x jadik mcm tu?x tau la org lain tp sy ni kdg2 suka buat macam tu..x tau la kenapa... mmg la dah tau kalau kita buat mcm ni, mesti jadi macam ni,tapi nak jugak buat.tau, akan menyusahkan diri,tp selagi x jadi depan mata, selagi tu x puas hati... faham ke sy cakap apa ni?salah satu masalah saya ialah saya ni x pandai bercerita..even cerita yg paling best atau lawak pun,bila saya yang cerita, mesti jadi x best...hmm masalah jugak...

doctor as a profession?

2008-08-15T13:06:00.000+08:00

honestly, i've never even considered to take doctor as a profession. for me, being a medical student is quite hard,requires loooots of hard work and commitment...and that's not what i've always do...knowing myself, i'm prepared for the worst..haha..

back at school, i'm not the kind who studies with istiqamah.it had always been last minute studying..and i survived..thanks to Allah for giving me a good brain...i' trying to make full use of it now..

i'm always amazed to see other people who can really cope up. they work real hard..studying most of the time...

me?hmm...still struggling..torn between studying and enjoying my life..

andaiku pergi dulu

2008-08-13T13:20:00.000+08:00

"andaiku pergi dulu, doakan ku sejahtera" it's a song written by akmal mirwana, the quote really captured my attention. it reminds me that death is sometimes unexpected and we should be ready because we don't know when our time will come...
