Pantai Teluk Bayu

salam,

it was my second time experience but there's something missing this time. the laughter of my former naqibah. huhu. how could i just forget her when she was the one who patiently influenced me to join usrah. to walk along the most beautiful path. =) i was blessed to have such chance though it was quite late actually. i was once a naqibah during my secondary years back in SBPIKP but the feeling was totally different. well, back then, it was rather compulsory for us to join the group of usrah and we didn't really know and understand the real meaning behind the word 'usrah'. it means more than 'a family'. i was lucky to get a chance to meet it again here. usrah is for everyone. usrah is a place to draw us closer to our actual aims in life.

It was last year when I first stepped at such beautiful and peaceful beach. No amount of words come even close to describing the peaceful of the beach. The environment is still as peaceful and beautiful as last year. May the peaceful and beauty of the beach stay forever. Sayangnya, no pictures taken due to penat beriadah.  best!

Lots of love,

pop up engineering

salam,

my first attempt

attended to  a workshop on saturday morning. well, the routine starts over again.. they love our weekends so much to a certain extend that they always want us to always spend our time with them doing something fruitful and beneficial. huhu. do you feel appreciated? yes, I am. I would love to spend my weekend working on something even it is actually the right time for us (students and even lecturers) to have a good rest before the hectic days start over and over again. I don't know where their spirit come. I rarely bump to a group of community who really loves working even it is during the holiday. the free holiday. It is, sometimes, good to have them to inspire even I bet I can never ever be like them. haha. no part time allowance given, yet you will still can see them in the departments even during the holidays esp weekends. 

so, we have a workshop on pop up engineering this morning and it is very exciting and interesting indeed. We, women, love arts to bits and pieces as compared to the minority group of man who attend this workshop this morning. really? entahla because there's a group of male english teachers who produces a very gorgeous work but they are not purely men la pulak. jahat!pang!dush! but, that's a reality, creative man is often associated with feminine quality. whatever it is, they are still men in reality.

The workshop goes for three hours which is from 9 am to 12 pm. straight with no rest period due to a short time allocated. the charge is acceptable and still appropriate for the longing for allowance peeps. five ringgit is charged per hour and breakfast is prepared free for all the participants. The organisation that is involved in organising this workshop is Pellta ( Penang English Language Learning and Teaching Association). 

Basically, they teach us about the basic steps of the engineering process. i'm the engineer this morning. i just create my own cards and i'm now officially an engineer. The process involved is undeniably easy wheezy to understand. We were introduced to a few basic lines, folds and types of designs. Most of the time is spend for hands on activities. Finally, after going through all the design and practice it on our own, we finally has been given a chance to create either a card or a story book on our own. We are free to choose whatever designs as long as it is still under the umbrella of pop up engineering. 

To make things easy, i decide to create a  birthday card by applying the parallel fold. simple and fast. mine is ready for display 15 minutes before the workshop end. 

when it comes to hands on activity, three hour is not enough. i need more hours for a bombastic one. balik bilik semangat nak sambung tapi game is more sexy  than the colour paper. mulalah operasi buat burger dalam 'burger rush'.  =)

till then. toodles! salam

the creative and lovely! teacher,

itu cinta

salam,

Sengaja nak berkongsi intipati bulatan satu cinta (onelurve) kami baru-baru ni. =)
Terangkan apa yang anda rasa selama berada di dalam dakwah&tarbiah dalam satu perkataan. Tangan diangkat sepantas mungkin sebab takut jadi yang terkemudian. risau sebenarnya, takut ada yang sama dengan perkataan saya. Maklumkan, yang termuka dari kalangan yang dewasa di situ. huhu. kebudak budakan sikit sebab semua orang panggil adik kecik kan. hihihi. Seorng demi seorang mengemukakan pilihan. Maka, lahirlah

cinta
pengorbanan
ketabahan
kekuatan (kalau tak silap)

Kenapa saya memilih cinta untuk menggambarkan perasaan selama berada di bawah payungan D&T. Adik kecik kata kerana 'cinta' saya di sini, tiada cinta maka tiadalah saya di sini. CINTA. dari mata turun ke hati. dari hati datangnya cinta. Umpana, si suami mencintai isterinya. si ibu mencintai anaknya. tak perlu diungkap dengan kata-kata, cukuplah zahirnya sebagai penyampai rasa. huhu.

puitis tak?hahahihihuhu

Pesan nakhoda kapal,
di kala dihambat rasa kecewa, putus asa, malas, takut ,sakit dan sebagainya, ingatlah kembali bahawa dakwah dan tarbiah itu ialah cinta, pengorbanan, ketabahan dan kekuatan secara zahirnya.



Kata hati,
Syahira Ismail

rancang lapar

salam,

dua hari macam dua tahun. letih! fikir result yang belum keluar lagi. xtau bila nak keluar. letih fikir perbelanjaan semester ni yang rasanya letih nak fikir sebab mungkin banyak aktiviti luar termasuk yang wajib dan tidak wajib tapi tiada pilihan demi menjaga perasaan. kadang terpaksa kita menahan rasa ingin menolak disebabkan persahabatan.bila fikir macam ni, kurang rasa letih. maklumla duit yang dapat tak akan bertambah tetapi berkurang sebab masih belum bekerjaya dan tak terfikir nak buat kerja sampingan seperti jualan lansung dan sebagainya. disebabkan oleh itu, hanya satu yang boleh dilakukan untuk mengelakkan inflasi yang teruk di hujung semester iaitu menguruskan perbelanjaan. nak menambah kekayaan belum sampai lagi, hanya menstabilkan diri sahaja yang mampu. memang macam ni setiap semester. agenda pertama, pelan pengurusan kewangan.pelan kedua, jadual belajar yang jarang ikut. pelan ketiga, 'assignments'

Pelan menguruskan kewangan

Makin bertambah usia, makin bertambah semester dan semakin sedikit masa yang tinggal untuk menghabiskan ijazah, semakin laju aliran wang pada setiap bulan. masakan tidak, fail makin bertimbun, sebulan boleh habis dua rim kertas, buku mahal sebab kebanyakannya dikeluarkan dari luar negara (tapi kadang-kadang xguna pun. stress!) dan impian serta kehendak yang makin bertambah. kehendak terbahagi kepada dua, kehendak diri dan masyarakat sekeliling. haha. simpanan harus ada walaupun masih belajar sebab itu cara nak mendisiplinkan kita. mulakan dari sekarang supaya nanti bila dah bekerjaya, makin terbiasa. berdikit-dikit dahulan. jangan pandang 50 ringgit sebulan sebagai sedikit sebab lama-lama jadi bukit. kalau yang targetnya sebuah perkahwinan dalam masa terdekat kena banyak sikit menyimpan. =P. huhuhu. tersasar pulak.bukan apa, ramai sangat yang memperkatakan bab ini di sini. maklumkan semuanya dah mencecah angka puluhan. saya belum mampu tapi siapa tahu. =P. Duit buku jangan dikesamping, duit untuk berhibur libur sikit, belanja makan minum, pakaian dan infak harus dicatatkan. walaupun saya xambil akaun dan xpernah belajar akaun dan xpernah ada siapa pun yang mengajar untuk melakukan semua ni, saya masih mampu lakukan. alhamdulillah. untuk kemaslahatan diri. Ini semua untuk disiplin di masa akan datang. Jangan takut untuk mencuba walau kadang kita takut xberjaya ikut perancangan. saya pun xpernah lagi ikut bulat2 pelan saya. memang perancangan manusia penuh kelemahan sebab sebaik baik perancang ialah Allah s.w.t. tapi xsalah untuk merancang. jangan xmerancang lansung sudah. main guna ja. habis xsedar. pastu mula la guna talian hayat pama. sesetangah rasa mungkin xmengapa tapi bagi saya, saya malu sebab tak berjaya kurangkan beban mereka. kalau bagi tanpa dipinta tu lain 'case' la kan.=).kalau terdesak sangat pun lain'case' la kan.

perancangan jadual belajar

buat tapi jarang ikut.hahaha. sebelum mula semester baru, saya buat sedikit kajian teknik belajar. tapi bila sampai di pertengahan semuanya jadi harapan dan khayalan. haha.main hentam ikut rasa. tapi penting sangat sebenarnya. lain orang lain gaya dan cara. belajar bahasa ni lain. kadang memang xde kerja lansung. boleh lepaking dengan hati yang senang. bila nak exam, belajar xpandang kiri kanan. ada yang belajar biasa2 ja tapi boleh score. belajar bahasa ni lain. once, you have the language, everything will be easy for you. hafal important points and leave the rest to the power of your language. lagi satu, kreatif. tapi saya memang lain jenisnya. otak bukan bahasa sangat, tapi xtahu la otak apa. tak tahu mana datang ilham untuk pilih jadi cikgu bahasa inggeris ni. ini perancangan Allah.I should have no doubt. ada hikmahnya, iA. kalau xblaja memang ibaratnya masuk lubang kambus sendiri. =) that's why perancangan jadual belajar amat penting bagi saya.

Perancangan 'assignments'

Kalau ingin memilih untuk masuk IPG, bersedialah untuk berhadapan dengan 'the never ending' assignments. memang lain dari universiti. sangat banyak untuk satu subjek. pensyarah sangat skema kalau untuk bahasa la. boleh jadi draft ketiga pun xtentu betul lagi. sabar dan jangan buat di akhir waktu. saya dah merasa buat kerja akhir waktu. keputusannya pun hujung-hujung la. study last minute mungkin ok dan efektif bagi sesetengah orang, tapi buat esaimen di hjung-hujung waktu bukanlah satu pilihan yang baik. silap haribulan, dapat balik, kena 're-do'. bukan sekali, tapi mungkin berkali-kali. saya dah rasa. memang stress dan geram tapi apa nak dikata, salah sendiri. pensyarah maktab ni lain sikit, mereka ialah dahulunya guru. sangat pentingkan kualiti kerja. sangat-sangat inginkan kualiti. baca setiap patah (this goes to lecterurs in language department). jagalah! sangat mengambil berat. hafal nama pelajar lagi. kenal pelajar lagi. xlokek untuk perbetulkan. kadang-kadang, pembetulan yang dibuat xmempengaruhi markah pun. hanya untuk kita jadikan pengajaran. tapi kebanyakan pelajar termasuk saya mestilah buat sesuatu untuk sesuatu. maksudnya buat pembaikan dengan harapan dapat markah tambahan. huhuhu. =P


. rasa nak menulis sangat-sangat sebab 'stress'.lapar setiap masa. baru je makan, lapar balik. nak makan orang! biasala, cuti 3 minggu. boleh makan nasi bila-bila rasa lapar. tak berkaitan dengan stress kan. till then, salam.

semester 4

salam,

three weeks has finally comes to its end. a familiar sentence ever since this blog was created.  a new semester is soon to begin. it feels like yesterday when i started packing my stuffs and excitedly waiting for my sister.huhu.  Mr doraemon!!! I really need your help now. can i have an 'ice shroom' just like in the 'plants vs zombees' game so that I can use the power to immobilize the time whenever I think I have to. Time is human. It moves and keep moving yet it has only one way direction. moving ahead.

Three weeks is too short.huhu.

Too many things happen in this three weeks. I finally drive a car on my own. what a wonderful moment though the nervous is still haunting me each time I have to step on the pedals. huhu. i'm still the old me. luar berani dalam takut . please go away the over nervous virus! go away completely from me.

 let's put it all aside and start a new game. no more restart or pause choices. A new semester shall be begin with a new set of visions and missions. Reminiscing the previous semester, there's nothing I can proud of except for the unexpected dekan last semester. rezeki. alhamdulillah. the third semester was done real bad. everything was done last minute. time is moving. shall i stop and reflect or just go with the flow and start a new term with a new spirit. entahla.

so, by now, i should have structured my aims for the nest semester. Sadly, I have not listed any nor thinking of any. huhu. where to start. where should i begin. let's do the warm up tomorrow. let's start the day tomorrow. let's start thinking of a brand new plan tomorrow. with that, I welcome you semester 4!

The future cikgu:
Syahira Ismail

high tea

salam,


too many things happened in these three weeks. i'll go one by one but not following the correct order.

Venue: Tower Regency Hotel & Apartments

it was last Friday event and it was free of charge. Actually, the event was conducted special for the 'soon-to-be-graduated' students aka 'pre-graduatioon high tea'. huhu. we were not in the list of the 'soon to be graduated' peeps yet having a sister who really loved angkut her sisters to her event, we got a chance to enjoy the 'free of charge' high tea. i feel good to have a lecturer in the house. sungguh tak baik. take advantage pulak.=)

tomorrow is Saturday. one day left for me and my fourth sister to enjoy our long holidays.

cheeky Adam!!

salam,

 these are what i've been doing during the three weeks holidays. fighting yeehaa, words war is worst, fighting to get him to the toilet and take a bath (i wonder why kids hate bathing time tapi love playing water bomb n etc related to 'play', 'in-house' football match (huhu),  fighting to get him eat (picky boy) and sometimes buat xtau but we often fail to neglect him due to his good communication skills.huhu. he can be cute at times, naughty all the time, and he can be whatever he wants. he is good at story telling. he is always up to something new. new ideas. new games. new activities. new topics to talk about. i wonder where the ideas come. pandai sangat kecek.

a picture tells a thousand words. enjoy reading the six thousand words. 

=P

Peek A Boo

focus!

camwhore

paksu buat rambut pacak kat adam.huhu 

the time now is 2 am

salam,

thanks to iklan cerita hantu.if not, adam will never let me sleep n orang tua ni has to wait for him to finish watching his fav movie, cartoon n etc which he himself does not really understand, i guess. he is just 3 yet he can force his eyes to stay wide awake just for 'cartoons grrrr' which i think he barely can understand the story line and even what the characters are talking about. that's why i always call him 'otak sejuta badan satu' aka 'banyak akal'. haha. he is good at acting. he can imagine things beyond the adults (me especially) imagination. for example, he can create a 100 pages story (kalau dibukukan) with only three different sizes crane.just imagine if i give him 100 cranes of different sizes. sampai pagi tak tido punya dok berdrama sorang kot.hahahah/ i always want to record his drama session yet i always forgot, plus it happens everywhere and not abiding to a specific time. senang kata, ikut dan dia. dalam toilet boleh berdrama. sambil main lagi la. huhuh. kids imagination is always beyond the adults expectation. now, it happens in front of me and i just can't deny the truth. now, kalau the adults in my house nak cakap yang not really appropriate for kids, we have to do speedy talking.haha. if not, he will just simply grab your words and use it in his conversation whether during his drama time or just simply mengajuk whatever the adults say. the old folks call it menyampuk. these days, parents dah xheran anak-anak mengajuk because kids these days sangat pandai. laju in everything. kalau hantar nursery lagi la. actually, kids, they don't really understand what they said, they just simply follow. owh kids and owh parents. suddenly, i just feel the needs to attend parenting courses for the parents in these days.huhuhu. i look i think i listen i imagine and i know i must act. nanti sebelum kahwin nak pi parenting course, iA .panggg. kalau dapat anak 10 orang macam adam, boleh botak rambut.huhu.pengsan. abis merepek sebab kena overtime tengok cartoon xbest dengan adam. thanks tu iklan cerita hantu. at least, i can say good night now. can't imagine how my sister manage her life with two cheeky bo bo boy. three including the father...salam

Boy Tales of Childhood

'You can write about anything for children as long as you've got humour'  :D
I'm no longer a kiddo yet i love his book so much. What makes me fall in love to this book is i love autobiographic. It feels like I was walking in his world and experienced what he had go through.  no heavy words. After all,  i deeply fall in love to one of his bundle of wise words. huhu


'If I had my way, I would remove January from the calendar altogether and have an extra July instead'


read my version:

'If I had my way, I would remove January and Sunday from the calendar altogether and have an extra May, August and December  instead'

i love the holiday season

It is, with no doubt, my favourite of the year. see, how i spend my two weeks holiday...

1.

a place I call home. this is where I was raised up. this is where i started to learn about life. This is where I started to have the courage to face a troubled, weary and beautiful world. this is a place where I learned about life. This is a place where I started to acknowledge the importance of knowledge. This is a place where I first started to learn how to write, read, spell, count and everything. The beginning of my life started in this house. I have no reason to stop loving this place. I have no reason to stop missing this place. 

2. 

bersoal jawab dengan Adam. ala-ala FBI pun ada Adam ni. Adam boleh bercakap sampai pejam mata. I surrender! nak cuba?

99 Beautiful Names of Allah compiled by Nur Fariha Al Rushd

salam,

And (all) the Most Beautiful Names belong to Allah, so call Him by them, and leave the company of those who believe or deny (or utter impious speech against His Names. They will be requited for what they used to do.  (Al-A'raar:180)

i bought this in Singapore last March. it was compiled by a Malaysian. xjumpa any Singaporean authors yang tulis Islamic books. There maybe lots of them but it happened to not my rezeki to bump to any Singaporean Muslims' author's books there. My attempt of buying this was not  for reading initially, but it was more for 'a long lasting memory'. I accidentally bumped to a beautiful  and classic style bookshop in Bussorah Street and as always, I always couldn't control my legs from approaching  the book stores's  and clenched the doorknob. I must go inside and check it out what's inside and grab at least one . Having a small library is what I always wish to have in my house in the upcoming future. take note! Buying without putting any effort to read was a big no no. what a waste. what i did was crawling like a small baby reading his first book. The vocabulary used was quite unfamiliar to me. huhu. I was a beginner and up until now, I still am. Crawling to read and write. Limited vocabulary bank. the never ending problems as i didn't use English much in my daily conversation and that limited my ability to use the new vocabulary appropriately. Back to the real business, this book was superb. For the rest of my life, I never owned any asma-ul-husna book and sadly, I could only remember the meanings of only few of the beautiful names of Allah. I believed, most of us could memorize and master the 99 beautiful names ( nasheed version) yet only few of us who really learnt and master in Arabic could understand the meanings one by one by heart  right. Forgive me if I was wrong. who knows, maybe, I was the only Muslim in this world who could only remember few meanings of the beautiful names of Allah. The feeling was obviously different if we could recite the beautiful names of Allah while flashing the meaning of each names virtually in our brain. it sounded great kan. it took the entire month for me to really finish and understand the meaning and the hidden meaning of the asma-ul-husna one by one. still, i could only remember few sebab baca santai2 and not really put any usaha  to read and really memorize the literal and aesthetic meaning by heart for each of the names. rugi!

buy one or at least read! borrow any related books in the library and read. it's good to have the knowledge. not only good yet a must have knowledge (Tauheed Al- Asma wa sifat- The Aqeedah and Manhaj of the Salaaf As-Saalih)

'feeling' London

salam,

kali pertama jejak Cameron Highland untuk tujuan menghadiri walimatul urus. =). fe'feeling'  London sambil jamah nasi minyak lauk kari sejuk sebab cuaca yang dingin. habis lemak naik. gulai rebung sejuk. sejuk sangat kan. air xpayah tambah ais sebab memang sejuk. makanan xlarat nak panaskan sebab haba panas kalah pada haba sejuk. sekali angin menyapa..fuhh. feeling macam makan kenduri dekat amerika.huhu. hakikatnya ada ke kenuri kawin makan nasi minyak dekat Amerika or 'London'. SRK Brinchang tempatnye. Mak pengantin guru besar dekat situ. boleh jalan kaki kalau nak ke pasar malam yang sesak dan femes dekat Tanah Tinggi. Matahari terik tapi peluh setitikpun xkeluar. xla rasa letih sangat kalau nak dibandingkan kenduri dekat 'bawah'. tiba-tiba rasa nak posting dekat Tanah Tinggi Cameron. tapi xnak sekolah yang jauh pedalaman naik bukit turun bukit, kena naik landrover. (demand sikit). jauh sikit tapi cuaca nyaman. dari rumah pengantin boleh nampak pemandangan 'hijau'. nampak ladang sayur, teh dan macam-macamla.

Tiba-tiba rasa macam nak suruh mak uya pindah duduk dekat Tanah Tinggi Cameron. Senang nak kenduri kendara. xletih sangat. maklumla, xberpeluh. kipas xpayah pasang. boleh guna fresh flowers lagi. xpayah berbelanja puluh ribu pun sebab bunga segar murah.  best sebab tuan rumah guna fresh flowers untuk hiasan meja. 'terbalik kankung' .bunga plastik lagi mahal daripada bunga segar. huhu.bunga xlayu!! mencucuk tanam pun seronok. tanam la bunga apa pun. bunga xlayu. huhu.huhu. Pengantin nampak kemas dan comel je sebab xberpeluh kusut masai. huhu. Sebelum balik, kami kutip bunga hiasan meja. Tak pe sebab tuan rumah tu saudara. Lampu hijau. Kutipla. Silakan.

Bak kata pepatah orang putih ' kill two birds in one stone' ataupun 'bunuh dua ekor burung guna satu batu'. kami laksanakan agenda wajib kalau naik ke Tanah Tinggi ni selain daripada menghadiri walimatul urus fe 'feeling London'. =)

awan ala-alan  dekat 'aussie' (macam la penah pegi kan..huhu). merepekje. tapi angin tolak awan laju macam tiup kapas.

pemandangan daripada rumah pengantin. semua orang nak naik, xde orang nak turun. macam mana la tak sesak kan?

menyinggah. Ladang Teh Lipton. seronok sangat sampai ter 'over' posing. gaya posing itu ialah 'menyorok dalam semak'.

When you have a baby, love is automatic, when you get married, love is earned. (Marie Osmond)

Salam,
what a happy moment to have a baby again in house though he is someone else's. this time is adam's turn to have a new born sibling. Adam loves his brother to bits. Dare not to say 'can i borrow your brother only for a while' or else you will have to endure a high pitch scream. Adam has a loud 'gentleman' voice. He can scream at the top of his lungs and it is so not my favourite. If he raises his voice, you might feel like taking something and sumbat it inside his big mouth but he is just too cute, so, tahan je la.  his new born brother's name is anas khuzaifi. anas was born on May 22nd 2012 in INS Specialist through a normal delivery after 38 weeks plus gestation. His arrival is the start of a new phase for his little big brother. Adam gets a new title 'Along'. Adam, now, is still learning to be a good brother. He is a bit harsh yet he actually loves baby Anas. he just needs sometimes to learn and practice how to show his love appropriately and how to touch and hold baby anas's hands and fingers carefully. Welcome to the world baby Anas. Semoga menjadi anak yang soleh dan taat kepada perintah Allah s.w.t, Rasulullah s.a.w dan ibu bapa. You make your family four           ( Abah, Ummi, Adam and baby Anas). an ideal number for this time being (pandai-pandai je acik). =)
