guests and ramadhan

salam,


hi peeps!


seven days has passed. tell me why it has to be like this. tell me why time runs faster than me. =) last week has been a super duper busy week for me. Juggling to kejar tarawih as well as the assignments and tutorials due dates. lucky me, i have friends who are always with me and never give up to remind me not to loose my primary focus esp during this holy month. The assignments appear like the rain drops. I don't no why it must come when i'm in the mood of preparing myself to give hundred percent attention to Ramadhan. huhu. but, it somehow, reminds me to always be grateful and appreciate every single nikma' such as leisure time and night for rest and the most important thing is use time wisely and effectively. alhamdulillah, up until now, things are still under control without me having to sacrifice my tarawih, tadarus and etc. that's is the biggest and powerful improvements from me abad ini. =) doakan. i want to be strong macam sumayyah and asiyah. bring me closer to you, Al-Khaliq i wanna use every minutes and every seconds during this Holy month just for my only purpose in life 'mardhatillah'. some people refer this month as madrasah/school. it really is a madrasah where almost every single thing that is going to happen in the next 11 months starts from here. the teacher is you and the student is alos you. your responsibility is to guide/teach/ educate yourself to be istiqamah in your practices, to perform the amar makruf nahi munkar and almost everything. we have three phases in this month and those who successfully grab the promises in the first two phases will (iA) get a priceless opportunity to grab the final promise. i want it. dare not to miss it. it comes only once in a year. once!once! Janji pembebasan dari azab api neraka. 


.............................................................................


last thursday, a day before the first day of ramadhan, we (me n my roomate) received a visit from our secondary school friend, Aqmar. It was the most awaiting day since we had been planning it since a week before aqmar n the gang really decided to sleep over at our place.   i was the one who was in charged in penang tour since my roomate was not able to join us. nervous and excited mixed as it had been nearly 3 years since we last met. like always, it felt like dreaming when you had your friends in front of you after nearly three years you never met and you never expected you would see him/her growing appearance/look. that's my first impression. we chit chatted like there's no tomorrow until i had say "Jom tidur" yet you still couldn't stop sharing the three years stories. My friend was my dorm mate back in SBPIKP and she is currently doing degree in Engineering in France. Amazing lady! Almost all her dreams turn into reality. 


to make the story short, the tourist guide in charged was rather not so confidence at giving instruction. Two days before their visit, I had prepared a plan of places to go yet everything turned upside down as I completely ignored my initial plan. I brought them to 6 places, from Lebuh Quay to Padang Kota to Little India to Gurnet Plaza to Batu Feringghi and Komtar.  Almost none of the places successfully caught their attention as they already used to such places. But, it's okay bc that's not only  the purpose. my purpose is to show the reality life in Penang. the mystical jam. the rude drivers were everywhere. I wished I could drive them anyway yet I was not confident enough or easy to say is,  frightened. That was my first experience as a tour guide,  so, i'm so sorry for the ambiguity instructions. They stayed for less than one day actually. They were just hopped by and had some rest at our place before heading home. Aqmar!! do come again next time!let's try Penang foods next time. 


yours truly,

Episod 1

Salam,

Salam Ramadhan 1433H!

Hari ini hari pertama CINTA kembali lagi. Selamat kembali CINTA. Selamat kembali SAYANG. Kehadiranmu di nanti-nanti. Berlalulah dengan seperlahan mungkin. Andai bisa ku bekukan masa, nescaya akan kulakukan. Hakikatnya, tiada siapa manusia yang bisa. Wahai kudrat, kita kena bekerja sedari saat ini. Ayuh melangkah. Wahai sang nafsu, pejamkan mata dan tidurlah.Wahai mulut, bantulah. Wahai mata, tundukla. Wahai kaki, pilihlah jalan yang suci tanpa noda sahaja. Wahai telinga, berhati hatilah. Wahai seketul daging, kau xberseorang untuk melawan nafsu. mata akan tunduk, telinga akan berhati-hati, mulut akan mambantu dan kaki akan memilih. Selamat berjuang wahai roh dan jasad hamba.


Peristiwa 30 Syaaban 1433H: Jaulah 

Jauh perjalanan, luas pemandangan. Destinasi bermula dari Little India ke sekitar Lebuh Quay ke Padang Kota Lama ke Komtar ke Batu Feringghi ke Masjid Terapung dan ke Persiaran Gurney. Terima kasih tak terhingga kepada Cik pemandu dan penumpang-penumpang kerana sabar dan tidak kenal ertiletih walaupun, hakikatnya, letih. Alhamdulillah, semua yang dirancang menjadi kenyataan malah ada pertambahan tempat. Dalam masa kurang 6 jam. Lengkap satu pusingan di sebahagian tempat menarik dan menjadi tumpuan di Pulau Mutira ni. Saya sangat gembira walau sedikit kecewa sebab tak mampu nak jadi pemandu kedua. Pemandu pertama sangat letih. Alhamdulillah, lulus ujian menjadi pemandu pelacong walau masih kurang kenal jalan.

sehari sebelum 'CINTA' datang

salam,


=) semalam sedih.hari ni xsedih dah sebab dah boleh berfikir dengan sangat matang. rasa rasanya la. =)


mari kita imbas kembali peristiwa tiga tahun yang lepas sempena sahabat saya, Aqmar yang sekarang berada di bilik saya, di katil saya, di sisi saya setelah tiga tahun jauh dari saya. alhamdulillah. Tak tergambar persaaan bila dapat tahu ada sahabat yang nak mencemar duli ke teratak buruk. Doa dipanjatkan setiap malam dan siang semoga dipermudahkan. Nak sangat bawa sahabat jalan-jalan merasai udara Pulau Pinang walau angin di sini tak mungkin setanding dengan bersihnya udara di nun jauh di bumi Perancis. =) Siang malam memikirkan kenderaan dan tempat tinggal. Akhirnya, alhamdulillah. Ya Sami' mendegar permintaan hamba yang hina ini. Maka, terjadilah hari ini. Hari yang penuh kegembiraan. Hilai ketawa dan sesi bercerita yang tiada kesudahan sampai terpaksa diberhentikan menjadi saksi betapa kami rindu zaman muda kami. ZAMAN otai kami. ZAMAN yang kami gelarkan fasa penuh ke'skema'an. ZAMAN yang kami gelarkan  zaman jatuh dan bangun. ZAMAN yang menyediakan kami kepada kehidupan hari ini. 


tiga tahun dulu di bulan ramadhan.jadual dah tersedia. cuma perlu diikut. tiada apa yang perlu dirisaukan. semuanya OK walau ada kalanya risau tak sempat study dan siapkan 'homework'. Tapi semuanya mudah kerana hidup dengan jadual dan masa terikat dengan jadual. SEKARANG..dugaan masa menjadi-jadi. ganbare syahira!


esok iA nak ke Batu Feringghi. Nak cuba jadi tourist guide tapi tourist guide versi takut nak drive. tetamu bawak tuan rumah jalan-jalan. kih2. kita merancang , Allah juga merancang dan Sesungguhnya Dialah sebaik baik perancang.=)


Salam Ramadhan 1433H. The journey begins!!!Yeehaaa. Power puff girl akan bertukar menjadi SUPER lady.

the ups and downs

salam,

 i wish to have a beautiful and smooth journey in life
i wish to have lots of money
i wish to get whatever i want
i wish i can be a millionaire
i wish i can be a genius lady
i wish i can be a doctor
i wish i can fly like a bird in the sky
i wish i can run as fast as the Himalayan tiger in a thick forest
i wish to have a large family
i wish i can live alone in my own world
i wish to have so many friends who understand me
i wish and i wish............

i wish to list down all my wishes yet i'm just afraid i'm too ambitious. I'm just too arrogant to have all those wishes  I've done very little to Him whom I always pray and beg to fulfill my wishes to.

Sometimes, things happen for reasons. The above example is clear enough to show us how arrogant we have been. we keep wishing yet we have done nothing for our Deen. We keep wishing yet we do not even put any effort or it is just too little as compared to our 'too ambitious' dreams.

....................

Dear myself,

Not all your wishes will come true. Be grateful.If you feel down.Remember!

“Jgnlah kamu bersikap lemah, 
dan jgnlah pula kamu bersedih hati, 
padahal kamulah org2 yg paling tinggi darjatnya, 
jika kamu org2 yg beriman.” 
(Al-Imran:139)


 No! I'm not stressing on the importance of not being too ambitious yet, me trying to stress on the right way to be ambitious.

These are all the post effect of the exam result. huhu. I know the readers might be fening reading this jumbled up post.

How i wish i can just type whatever i wanna type here even though the sentences are unrelated to each other.

Selamat Menyambut Ramadhan 1433H!

Yours truly

tragedy in July

salam,

what a day! My fifth week in semester 4 starts with a tragedy. I call it tragedy in July. That is not my first experienced kena tinggal dengan bas. Don't ask me how the feeling is. The first thing that comes across my mind soon after the clerk told me "Bas dah jalan" is " takutnya, balik malam sorang-sorang". Luckily, I have my sister who is now at home tanam anggur sebab Queen Elizabeth bagi cuti banyak sangat ready to drive me to my second home. I feel delighted and pheww. Soon after the clerk told me so, I quickly get my phone and call my sister. Luckily, she happily said, "Wait, I'll be there in a few minutes". Thank you Allah for sending me her.

The tragedy does not end with only one incident. The second incident which ties up my day and creates a history and story in my diary is "I can't find my purse in my bulky 'mummy' style handbag and surprisingly,  it is in my sister's car. Ohho. Get a series of babbling and powerful advice from my dear abuya. =).

That how my fifth week in semester starts. I pray hard and I'll try to make sure that this will not going to happen again. This time, I am lucky. Allah sends me my sister to help me and He gave my sister patient to layan her sister's short term memory lost problem and over relax problem. hadoila.

Yours truly.

three years

salam,

When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it's a sure sign you're getting old. (Mark Twain)


2010- they called us babies
2011- they said we were naughty and sometimes, lazy. oh, well. we hated activities.
2012- we don't care whatever people might say because we are now seniors.





YOU! stand on the chair.


salam,

it has been four years since the last time i was punished to stand up on my chair during the teaching and learning process

it happened too fast and out of my expectation. just imagine. a 21 year old lady was punished to stand up on a chair for not being able to give one right answer. i laughed. you? should laugh too. wow, i just created a record. the last time i was punished to stand on a chair was four years ago which when i was seventeen for not being able to do the i'rab. well, i was not really good in Arabic. It took a whole year for me to memorize the nahu and all the things that needed my long term memory ability. But, we had no time to get bored or even to daydream during the Arabic class with the most strict and witty ustaz. I was so scared and i could still remember me holding my friends hands to reduce the anxiety each time when he entered our class. I was not afraid of him yet I was afraid of being punished. I was famous with jalan itik. ohho! well. He often made us stand up and answer his questions during his period. Most of the time, we would have to i'rab any words or phrases of his interest. Not our interest. So, just ready yourself and be prepared to give the correct answers. 

Miss Loke reminded me of him. Thanks for the beautiful experiences you both gave to me. Sincerely, I felt delighted for being able to stand on the chair during the teaching and learning period again. One day, It surely will be the best tales ever to be shared with my future generations, iA.

sukan sebenarnya bagus

salam,

 ' satu murid, satu sukan' menggegarkan PENTAS..

what a statement! bukan itu caranya. bukan!bukan!

A: tu ke signifikannya 'sukan untuk membentuk manusia'
B: blurr kejap

Dari hati, jujur sejujurnya, sedih tengok anak bangsa. sedih tengok si kecil yang diibaratkan seperti kain putih belajar sesuatu yang xpatut diajar. di sebalik senam aerobik ada kebaikannya kalau ianya menepati syarak. kalau ianya mampu memberi contoh yang super baik. kalau ianya mampu menyumbang kepada usaha membina akhlak bangsa. ada baiknya, instructor yang di atas pentas tu lelaki atau wanita yang menutup aurat dengan sempurna . yang faham erti memberi sesuatu yang penuh hikmah supaya menjadi teladan. supaya menjadi pahala buatnya. 'satu murid, satu sukan' sebenarnya idea yang cukup mantap. bukan sahaja kepada murid malah kepada masyarakat. kalau nak buat ' satu rumah, satu sukan' pun saya amat bersetuju tetapi biar selari dengan islam agama kita. bukankah islam sebagai cara hidup. islam bukan sekadar agama untuk dianuti. islam cara hidup. setiap langkah harus islam. setiap bicara harus islam. setiap apa yang kita lakukan, yang menjadi panduannya ialah islam.


"Islam memberi maksud berserah diri atau tunduk patuh. Ertinya orang Islam keseluruhannya diharapkan mampu menjadi orang yang benar-benar berserah diri atau tunduk patuh kepada Allah SWT tanpa ada dakwa-dakwi lagi. Hal ini amat bersesuaian dengan tujuan Allah menciptakan manusia itu sendiri adalah untuk menghambakan diri kepada-Nya (Surah Az-Zariyat 51:56). Maka sebagai pencipta dan pemilik kepada seluruh isinya, Allah mempunyai hak penuh untuk ditaati dan disembah oleh manusia secara kaffah atau keseluruhannya. Sebagai mana firman Allah SWT di dalam al-Quran; Hai orang-orang yang beriman, masuklah kamu ke dalam Islam keseluruhan, dan janganlah kamu turut langkah-langkah syaitan. Sesungguhnya syaitan itu musuh yang nyata bagimu. (Surah al-Baqarah, 2:208)"
rujukan 

bersenam tak salah, malah sangat baik sampai ada kata hikmah yang mengadakan ' minda yang sihat daripada jasmani yang sihat'. TAPI HARUS SELARI DENGAN ISLAM. baru lagi superb. badan sihat, akhlak terpelihara, jiwa terjaga, mata tak mengundang dosa, seluruh badan boleh menjadi saksi di mahsyar kelak bahawa kami bersenam untuk menyihatkan badan keranamu Ya Allah dengan mengikut syariatmu Ya Allah.

Sekarang baru faham mengapa para senior dan mereka yang telah menjadi guru berkata begini

'bersedialah dengan pendirian yang utuh sebelum melangkah ke alam keguruan. Mujadah itu pahit kerana ganjarannya manis. jahiliyyah itu ibaratnya seperti dadah. menjerat manusia tak kira usia.'

Contradictions bring confusion

salam,

Life. Full of contradictions in almost everything. In friendship. In communication. In almost everything. There's no way to avoid it other than to embrace it. To embrace it needs more than hundred percents of patient. Sometimes, it happens in us. You can smile outside, yet inside you are crying. that's how the contradictions works in human like me. the end..

Yours truly,

July 4

salam,

today marks the 8 years since the first day I was welcomed to SBPIKP. Life was hard back then. aceehh.No public phone installed. Everything looked plain and virgin. Everything was still in new and good conditions. From the staffs to the system. From the furniture in the classroom until the furniture in our room.  everything was still fresh. so, that's the reason why we claim ourselves as the pioneer group. huhu.
