the 'come back' (Sekolah Kebangsaan All Saints')

salam,

i was once a student in this school. sitting on the dirty floor. happy with the crooked tudung. run, run, run was what i did. i had nothing to worry except for homework and friends. 

now, i prefer to stand in front of the crowd. they call me teacher Syahira. I have my own area in the teachers' room coz I'm no longer a student there yet I'm a teacher. Finally, my dream comes true. May Allah ease this journey. 

day 1: USS

salam,

this is a continuation  from my previous post

We arrived few hours late from the actual scheduled time in the tentative. blame on the bus driver. one hour late. all the do was smiling. i personally think, they should grab the mic and say sorry instead of just smiling. i just wondered why it was so hard to say sorry. hurm.  we should arrive far more early but nothing could i say cause i believed 'we plan but Allah who decides'.  I actually could not hide my 'stress' face coz, i believed,  the early we settled down  things in the immigration, the more time we would have to explore the place. :(

as i passed through the main gate, i felt blessed for the late arrival.why? well, saya perasan tua. kalau perasan muda. i maybe enjoyed every seconds i was there and  the uncountable games provided in there for the visitors.

 we tried most of the games provided there but nothing could beat the power of CYCLON and HUMAN. it could propel us over fourteen storeys into the air at speeds of 82.4km/H. dare to try? hihi. The cyclon could suspend coaster goes up, around and upside down with an intense corkscrew and a cobra roll. fly you up into the air. not even a word came out from my mouth and the only thing i did was closing my eyes tight. takut gigi tercabut N mata terkeluar dek lajunye coaster tu.

 we covered every inch of the USS area  for the sake of the amount we paid and the final result was ' what a hectic day we had'.  =) ayat!!!!

Far far away
The lost world
Madagascar
Hollywood
Ancient Egypt
Sci-Fi City
New York

Checked =)

I've learnt lots of things throughout the journey just by observing muslims there. if i could count the percentage of the perfect hijabians, the result might shock you not in a positive way but the other way round.

ok, done with babbling, let the pictures continue doing it.

L-R: the front part of USS, one of USS's souvenir house, Madagascar (the entrance area)

A-B: posing in front of Madagascar souvenir's house right after a 4D show and Water world area.

last N first day

salam,

last day with an open palate...

look at our heroin in the making. our strong baby girl. the 8th princess in Ismail's family. the first princess in Azlan's &co. she was born with an open palate but that's not a big problem to her. she manages to fight the limitation. who says the open palate is a limitation to her. please dare not to say coz our little girl has proved  that it is not a limitation yet a source of learning to be patient. she can eat. she can scream. she can do everything a baby can do. i'm proud of her because of so many things.she has learnt the real meaning of patient since she was born. consume her milk through a tube which is directly connected to her stomach from her mouth. the tube needs to be changed once in a week. can you imagine how patient she is. you have to face the same routine again and again for every week. mmg xsakit coz the tube is specially made for that purpose and of course it is soft and only Aliyah knows what's the feeling each time the tubes are inserted in and out. look, how patient our little princess has been. she has learnt to be patient since she was an infant. Allah knows best. acik admires your patient la Aliyah. i dedicate the poem below to princess aliyah. i want her to read this later when she has grown up. acehhh acik ni.

ALLAH knows what is best for us So why should we complain We always want the sunshine But He knows there must be rain. We always want laughter and the merriment of cheer but our heart will lose their tenderness If we never shed a tear. ALLAH tests us often with suffering and sorrow He tests us not to punish us but to help us meet tomorrow. For growing trees are strenghtened if they can withstand the storm and the sharpness of the chisel gave the marble its grace and form. ALLAH tests us often and for every pain He gives us provided we are patient Is followed by rich gain So whenever we feel that everything is going wrong It is just ALLAH'S way to make our spirit strong. (Author Unknown) reminiscing of her infant days, she could not lactch directly onto teet but alhamdulillah, she still had her rights. fresh milk originally produced from her ummi. she should thank her ummi aka my elder sister. she's very determined for the sake of her little princess. very dedicated to breastfeeding. first day with the new palate and ummi aliyah said 'aliyah ok2 je'. alhamdulillah, the operation went well poor baby =(. but its ok coz Aliyah is strong. ready to be discharged from Pantai Hospital and now still bermastautin di kl.  get well soon dear. do eat a lot. dun afraid to use the palate.  it will only sore for while. soon, everything will be ok. she will be home in two days. yeay!! can't wait to cuddle up with the little princess (kalau princess tak jual mahal). note: credit to ayah Shakir&Aliyah for the two beautiful pictures

singapore part 1

salam,

please ask me where i've been for these two days.poyos!!stop asking me lah.coz i'm away lah.only for a while lah. trying to speak like a pure Malay-Singaporean lady in Singapore. =). sad to say a reality that is so sad to be accepted by a 21 years young lady like me. not so sad actually. Singapore is my first oversea trip. not really oversea i should say. over-the-sea should be a better word to describe its location from Malaysia.

two days experiencing the back packers' life and now i'm back to my reality world. why i say back packers?we stay in New York Hotel in JB for only less than 12hour and the next day, off we cross the border for the second time in two days. most of the day in two days are spent in Singapore and we're only back in JB for dinner and rest. what a hectic trip coz every time we cross the border, we have to do all the procedures again and over again.  overall, we have to face the custom check ups and the immigration for four times. ahahaha. that's the ups and downs for those who would prefer to travel by bus like us. hectic!! luckily, we don't have to wait too long.it takes only less than 30minutes for all the procedures. very systematic and Malaysian Immigration fails at providing the same comfort for their customers. we have no choice other than to do some improvement to our system  if let say we would love to try to hit their level.

What can i say is 'Singapore is a clean city'. i hardly can see any trashes since my first day and my first step crossing the Singapore-Malaysia border. Things that make me feel Malaysia is far more better at is the toilet condition. i need water. our first day trip is to the famous USS. one thing i love about USS is we can play and enjoy the facilities inside without any extra charge except for the locker. we spend the whole day there and the next day is spent for tour around the city and we have successfully covered more than half of Singapore.

salam,

"I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new"

i fail again i think. fail to manage my time properly. the effects are clear in front of me but still i repeat. i wish i could stop the time and start everything over again but i surely can't. now, everything has ended. its time for reflection. 

if i could video tape my one month hectic life. sleep late at times. maximum sleeping hour is only two hours. pity me but whose mistake is it? i could only smile. i have decided to stop blaming the never ending assignments. from lesson planning to micro teaching. from  authentic sources to mind maps. from lectures to presentations. my new lists of vocabulary for over a month is 'rejected', 'hand in tomorrow', 'you should learn', 'you must grow', 'where's your drafts', 'i wanna see it tomorrow', 'see me tomorrow after 12' and etc. i've carved all those phrases deep under my skin. well, that's part of life as a student. you can't avoid from feeling stress unless you're good at managing your time. i wish i could be one so that i don't have to spend my whole 'ibadah sunyi' time for the never ending assignments. "procrastination is the thief of time" . do not procrastinate your time. finish babbling at me myself.

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

tell me how can i forget you coz you will always be in my heart

Allah sends me the six little tulips for me to adore, to love and to take care of. And now, I have to say 'till-we-meet-again' to one of them. i have no power to say those words but i have to. till we meet again nisa. wherever you go, whoever you are and whatever you do, you'll always be part of us. we miss you so much. ingat rabiatul adawiyah kita.usrati jannati

may Allah rest her soul in  heavenly peace

i still could remember her few last words to us

"procrastination is the thief of time"

"it is not about who is the cleverest but who is the most hardworking"

(Allahyarhamah Dr Yasmin Osman)

smile to the world.

Salam,

Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties [in exchange] for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah , so they kill and are killed. [It is] a true promise [binding] upon Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur'an. And who is truer to his covenant than Allah ? So rejoice in your transaction which you have contracted. And it is that which is the great attainment. (At-Tawbah:111)






 i believe only patient will keep me professional and sane. So, keep smiling even you are crying inside.make a du'a for He knows better.=)
