Jie has a newborn baby

Assalamualaikum wbt,

(1)

Yesterday went to visit Jie and her newborn baby di Ampang Puteri with Ika, tak sangka rupanya di sana sudah menunggu Ayu and her friend.Unfortunately, baby berada di dalam nursery due to demam kuning, so all of us could not see him, fortunately Jie and Nuar ada snap gambar baby derang, so tgk kat camera jer :)

Teka siapa nama baby Jie? Hoho, dekat sgt dgn nama anak Hany Aliff Nufayl, anak Jie namanya Fahim Naufal,mengambil nama sempena cantuman alphabet F dan N mewakili Fakhrul dan Najibah. Teringat kat Ustaz Fahim yang mengajar di Pre-U dulu. Jie kata ada juga cadangan nak letak Fahim Mujahid,tapi biler fikir dah ada sorang nama ustaz MMU kat situ, tambah pulak Mujahid yang sememangnya di MMU dulu ada juga seorang ustaz yang namanya sama, mmg terserlahlah betapa loyalnya mereka kat MMU kalau bebetul ambil nama tu, jadinya mereka decide nama sorang ustaz MMU jer cukup, tak yah sampai 2, lagipun mereka mmg nak nama Naufal tu dr awal-awal lagi, sejak Hany belum bersalinkan Nufayl hoho. Apa nih Hany, dahlaa size korang dekat dekat jer kecilnya, nama anak pun nak berebut ker? :P

Hoho, Ika sudah advance dlm bab-bab memelihara baby, dah boleh 'lepas' dah ni, so Ika, biler lagi? ;) Ngee...pasni ada yang kena 'tornado' dari bangunan Menara Telekom menuju ke bangunan Telekom Jalan Raja Chulan pulak lepas ni hehe.

Nuar looks happy, sempat me bertanya pada dia "amacam dah jadi ayah ni?ok tak?"

Nuar : Happy laa, cuma biler dia dah masuk nursery ni mcm terasa lost sbb dah 2 hari ada ngan kitorang, pastu skang ni takde.

Hehe, takpe Nuar, after this for whole life you can own him insya Allah :)

Lepas melawat Jie, berjalan ke Ampang Point, dah lama sgt tak pergi berjalan window shopping sejak dah start study ni, so jalan puas-puas sampai terasa kaki mau patah dibuatnya sbb pakai high heels, pasni taubat kalau nak pi berjalan jauh tak nak pakai high heels, tak baik untuk kesihatan kaki hohoho.

Semalam berjalan dr stesen LRT Plaza Rakyat menuju ke office, terjumpa dengan 2 orang buta yang meminta sedeqah. Kesian sgt tgk, unfortunately my route tidak melalui kawasan mereka, so when i was walking i was thinking...

"Mcm mana agaknya yer mereka melalui kehidupan sehari-hari? Dengan tak nampaknya, dan entah entah mereka sudah berkeluarga, peritnya menanggung hidup.."

Tapi dalam satu laporan by The Star ada mengupas ttg betapa pemurahnya masyarakat Malaysia sehingga seorang peminta sedeqah boleh hidup senang sebenarnya.

That is not my point to discuss about this subject on whether should we help them or not with regard to the fact that they can earn so much money by meminta sedeqah actually.

My point is that...

Have we ever think let say in one moment Allah tarik salah satu nikmat drpd kita, redha tak kita dengan pemergian nikmat tu? Tak perlu memikirkan ttg kematian whatsoever, fikirkan sahaja duit kita hilang RM 50 (sekarang ni org hilang RM 10 pun kurang kisah sbb terasa nilainya agak bearable lagi, so mari kita guna RM50 pulak), tak pun RM 100. Mesti melilau mencari mana perginya duit tu, betul tak? Kalau masih tak jumpa, siap sibuk mencari saper ada ambil duit kita, check satu-satu beg, beg duit, beg sekolah (kalau masih guna), beg pasar, segala-gala beg ler kalau ada, yang pentingnya CARI.

Kalau dah puas cari tapi masih tak jumpa?

Hati mesti terkilan, betul tak? I bet semua org akan terkilan, mesti akan fikir "mana ler aku cicirkan duit tu,kalau ler aku beli something-something, berguna jugak duit tu..". See, betapa tak redhanya kita?

Cheaa, saya mengulas mcm ler saya tak mengalami keadaan itu. Saya turut mengalaminya, lagi ler,dulu waktu kecil kecil tertinggal pemadam atau pembaris di rumah tak bawa ke sekolah pun saya sudah tidak senang hati (tu waktu kecik2 jerlaa hoho).

Dalam Al-Quran menyebut, betapa manusia ini kurang bersyukur. Ketika membaca La Tahzan di rumah Abang Faizal sekejap ketika menjaga Nufayl, i came across this message saying that we shouldn't be sad because we have OTHEEEEERRRRR (nak tunjukkan betapa banyaknya kuantiti) nikmat that are still with us, where we should be grateful for each of them.We can walk, we can talk, we can see, we can earn good money, we do have family and friends, we have good qualifications, we have house, we have car, we have so much, yet sometimes we do feel that all of them are not yet enough and we still urge for something else.

I'm not saying that it is wrong, totally Allah has urged us to try our best to earn and get the best outcomes possible as Allah loves someone who is hardworking in doing something in particular, its just that when you are losing something, you must realize that there are so MUCH nikmat that we have not yet be grateful with. Try to take it as dugaan, pray to Allah for a lesser burden, insya Allah everything will settle, sooner or later.

Kurangnya rasa kebergantungan kita pada Allah menyebabkan kita rasa sukar untuk menerima cubaan dan dugaan, kita menangis over small matters that if we compare our problem to someone's else at different part of our Earth, we should feel ashame about ourselves.

(Actually this catatan is for my own tazkeerah coz i used to cry a lot for my assignments and work pressures, now i do feel shame over myself for it hehe).

Wassalam :)

You Are Never Alone

You Are Never Alone


Sometimes, when the world's not on your side

You don't know where to run to

You don't know where to hide.



You gaze, at the stars in the sky

At the mountains so high

Through the tears in your eyes.



Looking for a reason,

to replace what is gone.

Just remember, remember

That you are never alone.



You are never alone (you are never alone)

Just reach into your heart

And Allah is always there.

You are never alone (you are never alone)

Through sorrow and through grief

Through happiness and peace

You are never alone.



So now as you long for your past

Prepare for your future

But knowing nothings going to last

You see this life is but a road

A straight and narrow path

To our final abode



So travel well O Muslim

And Paradise will be your home

And always remember

That you are never alone.



You are never alone (you are never alone)

Just reach into your heart

And Allah is always there.

You are never alone (Allah is there)

Through sorrow and through grief

Through happiness and peace

You are never alone.



You are never alone (you are never never alone)

Just reach into your heart

And Allah is always there.

You are never alone (you are never alone)

Through sorrow and through grief

Through happiness and peace

You are never alone.

Tahfiz vs Electrical Engineering, MMU vs UIA

Assalamualaikum wbt,

(1) Tahfiz vs Electrical Engineering

On last Friday nite, i was preparing myself to get my sleep at abt 1 ' clock in the morning, tidur lewat sikit. Suddenly my younger sis's handphone ringing, so i picked it up since my younger sis has gone to sleep much earlier. I was so jahat that i pretended to be my younger sis while answering the phone becoz i know this is the guy that my younger sis always talked to every nite sampai pukul 1 pagi, so i want to know who is he.While the phone was ringing,its screen displayed 'Nenek YB', uik..pandai sungguh my younger sis ni sorokkan identiti bf dia (i assumed the caller is my younger sis's bf sbb asyik bergayut every nite).

Me: Assalamualaikum.Hello?
The caller : (luper dia ada jawab salam ker tidak), apsal angkat lambat?
Me: Sajer.
The caller : Sajer jer? Apsal?
Me: Sajer jer.
The caller : Sajer jer? (Nada dia dah blank..i couldn't tahan my gelak)
Me: Dik, Ira dah tidur sebenarnya, ni kakak dia (ngee ngee...i was sure he was stunned to hear that hoho)
The caller : Ha? Ni kakak Ira? Maaf kak, saya cuma nak bagitau dia yang saya dah ambilkan borang dia di sekolah tadi, kakak sampaikan kat dia nanti yer (dengan nada takut takut dan sungguh formal hohoho)
Me: Alrite dik, nanti akak sampaikan kat Ira k. Saper nama adik ni?
The caller : Wan, akak, akak tak marah ker saya call ni?
Me: Naper akak nak marah pulak, ok jek.
The caller : Ok kak, tu jer nak bagitau.
Me: Ok, assalamualaikum. (The call was ended)

Selang 1 minit, the phone was ringing again, so i picked it up and i heard the same voice just now.

Wan : Akak, boleh ker saya call akak guna telefon rumah?
Me: Ha? Nak call akak? Err..err, ok, bleh jek.
(Dlm hati dah terpk, awat budak ni nak tepon me pulak isk isk)

Tepon rumah berbunyi and i picked it up.

Wan : Akak, akak jangan marah Ira pulak saya call dia malam-malam. Akak marah ker?
Me: Marah? Nak marah apanya, korang dah besar, takde der nak marah-marah der.
Wan : Akak sportinglaa
Me: Biasaaaa..kekek (chea chea, mamat ni nak ambil hati aku ker apa nih, puji2 pulak,ambik peluang nih nak tanya pasal diri dia, sekolah mana, umur baper, duduk kat mana etc etc, pastu tanya how was his SPM paper)
Wan : Ni laa akak, paper saya tu ok kot, cumanya saya tgh confuse, tulaa yang saya call akak nih..saya sebenarnya confuse nak sambung Tahfiz atau Electrical Eng, camner ek akak?
Me : (Dah ternganga dah sbb tak expect soalan tu keluar). Hmm..adik minat yang mana? Naper adik rasa nak ambik Tahfiz? Minat ker ngan Electrical?Dah buat solat istikharah?
Wan : Saya minat Tahfiz kak, lagipun skang ni dah akhir zaman, kena fikir pasal akhirat juga kak.Saya suka juga Electrical, and skang ni saya target nak buka business dgn pakcik2 saya. Tapikan kak, saya sebenarnya tak kisah pun tak belajar tinggi2 sgt sbb saya bukannya nak makan gaji, saya suka kerja sendiri2, pakcik2 saya pun mcm tu juga, boleh jer hidup.
Me: (Hish budak ni, selamba jek ckp camtuh, tak pk ke education tu penting? ) Naper Wan cakap camtu, ilmu tu penting, walaupun kita tak nak makan gaji and nak keje sendiri, tapi ilmu tu tetap penting. Kalau kata nak buka business, tanpa ilmu yg cukup, mcm mana kita nak expand business tu sampai ke national atau international level.Ibu ngan ayah keje apa?
Wan: Ummi buka restoran sendiri, ayah dulu arkitek tapi skang ni tolong ummi kat restoran.
Me: (Wah,ayah arkitek, mcm mana boleh ada anak yang ber'mentaliti' mcm ni nih?) Ooo ok ok. Takpe takpe, skang ni Wan kata Tahfiz utk akhirat, habis tu Wan fikir belajar Electrical tu bukan untuk akhirat ker? (Pastu lecturelaa dia ttg manfaat jadi engineer kpd manusia, as long we regard the work as ibadah, ke akhirat juga gunanya)
Wan : Saya bukan apa kak, dedua saya suka, cumanya saya dah plan kalau saya ambil Tahfiz, lepas keluar saya nak buka sekolah tahfiz pula, pakcik sedara saya dah berjaya buka satu, and derang sumer nak support saya belajar tahfiz kak.
Me : Ic ic, ok ler kalau camtu, cumanya jgn ler fikir course selain agama ni tidak contribute kepada Islam atau akhirat, kena expandkan sikit pemikiran adik tu k. So skang ni, tunggu jer result SPM, kalau dpt offer memana, buat solat istikharah byk2 and decide, kalau takde, pergi sekolah tahfiz tu k.

Pastu kami sembang bab-bab lain sampai pukul 3 pagi. Kelakar budak nih, patut ler my younger sis selalu bergayut ngan dia. Anyway dia bukan my younger sis's bf pun, geng baik jek. Cumanya ketika berbual dgn dia, terasa mcm bagusnyaaa budak nih, umur 18 tahun dah terpk nak jadi tahfiz, siap nak buka sekolah tahfiz lagi. Me at 18? Ntah ler..lagi nak enjoy lagi ader. Bagus sungguh budak ni, kerek2 pun ada jugaklaa sifat kepimpinan, siap boleh berdebat with me ttg soal Bida'ah, huish me at 18 Bida'ah pun tak tau apa sgt. Time tu terpk betapa indahnya Islam menekankan pendidikan dan tarbiyah dr kecil bermula dr rumah, hasilnya kita akan nampak di kemudian hari :)


(2) MMU vs UIA

Semalam masuk kelas, belajar ttg Operation Management. Entah mengapa tiba-tiba membuat perbandingan antara MMU dan UIA.

Honestly, I would say MMU is more advance in terms of latest knowledge exposure especially when it comes to K-aspects (K economy, technology etc).I think MMU is much better in terms of up-to-date exposures and highly professional, seriously.

On the other hand, my reason to be in UIA was justified as i want to try IPTA after being 4 yrs in IPTS. My first choice is UIA, and the second one is UM.UM's schedule is not flexible to me, therefore i chose UIA, and i was happy with my decision. But after 3 semesters being in UIA, i have clearer picture that MMU is better. HOWEVER, it's up to someone's personal motives also. Some of my classmates prefer UIA due to its location that is very near to their houses, and some is due to its 'International' status. Its all depends on what your personal wants, i guess.

So guys, if you think you want to get better exposure, choose MMU to pursue your Master, but if you want to try out for different environment and make comparisons, then the options are wide enough as we have UKM, UPM etc.

I am proud to be a MMUrian hohoho.

Wassalam.

Affliction (perkara yang menyedihkan)

Question: What is the ruling regarding the one who becomes angry when an affliction befalls him?

Answer: People are upon 4 levels regarding the circumstances of affliction:

The First Level
Being angry, and this is in various ways:

The first type: That the anger is by the heart as if he is angry at his Lord. So he becomes angry with what Allaah has decreed for him, and this (level) is haraam. And it is possible that this could lead to kufr (disbelief). Allaah said:


“And among mankind is he who worships Allaah as it were, upon the very edge (i.e. in doubt); if good befalls him, he is content therewith; but if a trial befalls him, he turns back on his face (i.e. reverts back to disbelief after embracing Islaam). He loses both this world and the Hereafter.” - Al-Hajj (22):11


The second type: That the anger is by the tongue like making duaa for destruction or ruin and what is similar to that, and this is haraam.

The third type: That the anger is by the limbs like slapping the cheeks, ripping the clothes, pulling out hair, and similar to that, and all of this is haraam in contradiction to patience which is waajib (obligatory).

The Second Level:
Being patient, just as the poet said:


“Patience is like its name - bitter in taste, yet its outcomes are sweeter than honey.”


So the person sees this thing (the affliction) weighs very heavy upon him, yet he bears it although he dislikes that it happened. Rather, his eemaan bears it and restrains him from being angry. So the time of affliction and the time of no affliction is not the same to him, and this (level) is waajib, because Allaah commanded the people to be patient, saying:


“…and be patient. Surely, Allaah is with those who are As-Saabireen (the patient ones, etc.).” - Al-Anfaal (8):46


The Third Level:
Being pleased with the affliction in that the person is pleased with the affliction and whether it happened or not, it is the same to him so he it is not difficult upon him. He does not bear it as if it is something weighing heavy on him, and this (level) is mustahabb (preferred - between haraam and waajib) and it is not waajib according to the most correct opinion. The difference between this level and the one before it is apparent because the affliction happening or not happening is the same due to the pleasure of the one on this level. As for the level before it, the affliction is hard upon him, yet he remains patient over it.

The Fourth Level:
Thanking/being grateful and this is the highest level. This is that the person thanks Allaah for the affliction which has struck him in that he knows that this affliction is an expiation for his sins and perhaps a cause for an increase in his good deeds. The Prophet (Õáì Çááå Úáíå æÓáã) said:


“There is no affliction which strikes the Muslim except that Allaah expiates with it (sins), even with a thorn that may poke him.” (Recorded by Bukhaari and Muslim)

You Raise Me Up

(1)

You Raise Me Up

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up… To more than I can be.

There is no life – no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up… To more than I can be.


***********************************************************************************

Boleh tahan jugak lagu ni, no wonder ramai org suka lagu ni. To this person you-know-who-you-are, be strong always k, i will always pray for your happiness dunia wa akhirah. And dun worry, our naughty secret yesterday will safe with me (err..err..tapi kalau nak black mail ok,gak kan? Heheh)

Ika owes me one, wahai Lady Ika, nasib baik ler your reason tak dpt join gathering Farah semalam sbb sakit kepala, kalau tak, mungkin ada yg kena cekik pagi ni hehe.

Yesterday pegi gathering bezday Farah yang dibuat sekali utk Mala, Norli and Shaz. Ni sumer our juniors di MMU dulu, about 21 org turned up, and i was the only senior in the group. Haiyaaa..tu yg terasa seperti mau balik jek tak nak join gathering tu, tapi alang-alang dah sampai, join jek. We celebrated at Pizza Hut, Mid Valley.

Semua geng2 apartment kat MMu dulu ada, Deq No, Ina, Mala and her 2 frens, Shaz, Lisa, Nadia, Farah, Sok, Laili, Momay, Sarah Mamat, Norli and fiance, Zaza and bf, Nad and Yan. Ada lagi kot, tak teringat dah skang ni.

We were laughing at our lungs last nite, especially while i was talking to Sok. Betul2 heaven and kecoh bebudak ni buat gathering, mcm Laili cakap semalam ' Aku buat Pizza Hut ni mcm restoran aku pulak' ekeke. Huish, gathering my batch punyer ler bersopan and takde aa bising2 sgt, bebudak junior ni punyer, masya Allah, mcm nak runtuh Pizza Hut tu dibuatnya. Celebrate 4 org sekaligus, mana tak bising :)

Biler jumpa Shaz, terasa ya Allah rindunya ngan exco-exco usrah dulu. Dah lama tak bergurau senda mcm kami biasa buat biler ber'iftar' setiap Isnin dan Khamis dulu. And rasanya ramai giler exco yang lahir bulan 6, me, zarp, Abg Faris and ada lagi kot. Terjumpa Mar waktu di kenduri kahwin Kak Saf (uish, Kak Saf cun giler time kahwin tu, berubah habis muka :D), peluk Mar, rindu kat dia. Shafizan dah lama tak jumpa walaupun kami satu UIA buat Master, Sue, Amla, exco2 lelaki kecuali Mudin mmg lamaaaa sgt tak jumpa. Rindu kat Ise my little bro yg nakal mcm Mudin jugak, Kaduk,my bureau partner Abg Nafis, and the rest.. aiyaaa..missed them all. Kalau ada Shaz jer dulu, mesti kitorang gelak sakan punyer dlm meeting, sbb dia ni happy go lucky walaupun kadang2 serius dlm memberikan pendapat. She's good, really good. And same to the rest. Biler jumpa adik2 junior and see how they have become mature, become so independent, i was so happy. Ika and I were used to 'lepak' at their apartment dulu, and there were so much that we share together.

Tq to all my lil sisters di apartment dulu, really treasure our sweet moments dulu. Teringat lagi every evening kita tunggu sama-sama drama Cina pasal keluarga pahlawan perempuan kot rasanya. Best best.

Wish ya all the best for your future undertakings, insya Allah :)

Sempat menyinggah ke MPH bersama Nad mencari buku, i bought buku 1515 Faisal Tehrani sbb dah lama nak beli tapi tak terbeli, cari buku Tunggu Teduh Dulu tapi takde, jumpa buku2 Dan Brown yg sesat lagi menyesatkan, cantik2 sgt warna cover buku dia mcm buku Angel & Demons tu(tak ingat dah the exact title dia), cheaa..memula ingat nak beli, tapi rasanya nak pinjam kat Aini je ler. Bleh aa Aini, kita exchange buku, Aida jadi mediator hehe. Terjumpa buku Don't Be Sad (La Tahzan) in English version, the wordings are much simpler than the Malay translation, belek-belek kejap and fikir nak beli ker tak, hari tu ada terjumpa buku tu di rumah Abg Faizal and baca sket buku tu. Ok juga sebenarnya, tapi tak jadi nak beli buku tu tu sbb mmg tak plan nak beli yg English version, and memikirkan i have to save money utk my study fee. After dah bayar yuran baru boleh beli kot.Tak pun pinjam kat Ika atau my manager, my manager beli direct dr Indon and hard cover, cantik sgt. Hmm.. later later, habiskan dulu buku2 di rumah yang berlambak lagi tak terbaca hehe.

Luper nak story that actually me balik kampung kat Pedas, N9 rite after kenduri kahwin Kak Saf on last Saturday. Kak Saf and husband berpakaian hijau pucuk pisang (rasanya Ika berbara jek sbb tu warna kegemaran dia, dia kata dia nak kahwen pakai warna tu kot ihiks), time2 sampai jer tak ramai bebudak MMU time tu, yg ada Rahimi and Syuhairah, Abg Ismail and Kak Sarah, Kak Nisa' and Abg Nazrol, pastu adalah several people yg i don't know much.Ika dtg selang 5 minit. Sdg makan baru ler jumpa Liana, Ika and Kak Mamah. Pastu gi salam Kak Saf (tq Kak Saf sbb benarkan iena bawa makcik and sepupu twin iena :), ucap semoga berbahagia dunia dan akhirat dan melahirkan generasi soleh dan solehah pada pengantin, kemudian berpatah balik ke meja makan dan tetiba ternampak Mar,pegi peluk makcik sorang ni.Rindu betul kat dia.

Balik kampung, tgk tgk Pak Ngah sekeluarga dah ada and dah bersedia nak balik KL balik. Ler, org baru sampai, derang dah nak balik. Rupanya my little cousin akan terima anugerah di sekolah esoknya, so derang kena balik juga by that night.

Uwan masak lauk best, gulai ayam masak lemak cili api campur dengan keladi. Huhu, dah lamanya tak makan masakan uwan. Jie and Zainal pernah puji masakan uwan best, mmg ler best, tapi kena tahan ler pedas. Ekekek, ingat lagi mengangkut bebudak ni balik kampung, uwan masak sambal apa ntah yg pedas giler sampai berpeluh2 bebudak ni makan, tapi bertambah jugak nasi dan lauknya, makan non-stop. Ekekeke.

The next day berbual ngan atuk, atuk skang ni nampak kuat sikit ler dari dulu.Time tgh2 berbual tu boleh terlena pulak, hish teruk betul cucu dia sorang ni. Tak tahan giler ngantuk time tu, cuaca panas, lepas tu baru lepas makan pulak tu, mmg mengantuk ler hehe. Tapi best,hilang kerinduan kat kampung. Rasa bersalah sgt sbb during Chinese New Year i didn't go back sbb my parent ke Kelantan for several days. My task was to jaga my adik2 yg baru balik dr asrama dan UUM, takut derang tak study and nak kena memasak utk derang.Uwan bagitau that atuk sembelih 2 ekor ayam ingatkan me balik, aiyaaa..bersalahnya rasa. Tapi takpe, dah balik dah ni, makan jugak ayam yang atuk sembelih :D

Ok, later k.

Suruhanjaya Antara Agama

Assalamualaikum wbt,

Semalam merujuk akhbar Malay Mail (selalu beli The Star tapi tak jumpa kat 7 Eleven, Malay Mail pun boleh ler), sampai rumah ketika menunggu ibu hidangkan makanan, menyelak berita-berita best (bertuah ler dpt anak pompuan mcm nih, patutnya dia yg hidangkan utk ibu, ini terbalik pulak :D). Biasanya kami dinner lepas solat Isyak, tapi rasanya ibu nak makan awal, jadinya kami makan sebelum Maghrib.

Ingin menyentuh kepada isu hangat semenjak 2 menjak ni, mengenai keputusan cadangan penubuhan Suruhanjaya Antara Agama (Inter Religious Commission - IRC/ICM) atau Suruhanjaya Antara Fahaman (Inter Faith Commmission - IFC)yang dipersetujui oleh semua untuk ditangguhkan. Melihat terdapat beberapa pandangan berbeza di mana ada pihak yang bersetuju agar ditangguhkan untuk melihat pro and consnya kewujudan Commission ini, dan ada yang secara terus membantah penubuhannya.

Me? At first thought i would say ABSOLUTELY NO, why we need all these? At my second thought, "Wait a minute, perhaps we can see what this Commission is all about, and what is it SOOOOO IMPORTANT that this Majlis Peguam nak tegakkan sgt ttg penubuhan Commission ni".

I have to agree with one of the editor's opinion (i could not remember at which section, but he is a Muslim) proposing for all to see and review the proposal. I mean, yeah, eventhough we cannot agree on the formation of the Commission, that could not hinder us to listen whatever being proposed. Islam teach us to be tolerant, however only at certain extents that will not harm Islam at any cause and at any way. I think Pak Lah should listen to the proposal, evaluate it and decide. Honestly, I would prefer the proposal to be rejected, but only after the proposal being tabled out properly and then give justifications to these people, dun you think so?

I have this sense that Majlis Peguam sekarang ni sdg cari glamour haram, first is due to their statement on azan, and now the IRC? Heck, do they think they are politicians here? But i did read about a statement from Majlis Peguam Muslim that they also opposed this proposal, but somehow ada a religious party that asked them to shut up and concentrate more on the legal issues. Sheesh, on this matter pun nak bergaduh padahal the both bodies are representing Islam. What a shame. Kenapa perlu nak bergaduh2 in newspaper padahal you are free to call up each other to clarify the issue, talk nicely rather than humiliating another party that obviously want to help you to solve the matter. Tak faham naper badan2 sebegini ber'politik' mencari glamer haram camnih. Malas nak layan.

Semalam berbual ngan Bro Cpol ttg isu politik juga ler, again i have to stress that i'm not keen into politics, my participation in Nisa or whatever registered or non-registered body is solely for some reasons that i believe it's not appropriate to be revealed here, but honestly it was not due to my interest on politics. Kalau ikut hati yg tak betul ni, boleh jer pk and cakap, why i have to be bothered about other people matters when me alone have so much other things to do? Itu kalau ikut hati yang jahat dan tak rasional ni ler bercakap, kalau fikir on the 'other' perspective, it would be much different. As Bro Zainal had mentioned to me during our final session for SRC in MMU, "Islam ni syumul dan menyeluruh kepada semua aspek, jgn ambil separuh2 mana yg kita suka dan tinggalkan mana2 yg kita tak suka" (lebih kurang gitu ler maksudnya, the exact wordings came out from his mouth i could not remember). Ehek, kan dah kena basuh :P.

But truly my discussion with Bro Cpol yesterday was so much enlightening, it was about our commitment to Islam and the appropriate way to select our platforms in order to contribute to it. While in discussion, I was then realized that I forgot to do something very very important for myself due to some reasons of being so busy with my studies etc before, and my short discussion with Bro Cpol yesterday had knocked my head asking me to take the necessary steps that i should have done much much earlier. Hmm, Zurina Zurina, what have you done for the past 1 year? (knocking my own head).

Whatever pun, hopefully this issue will be resolved soon. From my personal opinion, anything that will cause harm to Islam shall be opposed and rejected, but secara berhikmah where we dun want to cause any unnecessary dissatisfactions among other parties. Memberi justifikasi perlu berhikmah, and that's what i think Pak Lah need to do to solve this matter.

Wish him luck and moga dapat petunjuk dr Allah.

Ameen.

Yeaayyyy!!! Syukran ya Allah :)

Assalamualaikum wbt,

Bestnya hidup saya hari ni, alhamdulillah :).

All are due to:

1. My new position as someone handling for Business Strategy & Reporting had made me felt so revitalized again in FMD, now i can show my true capability and preference. I'm now in charge for the division's strategy and direction, with the assistance of other units, and i really like that because i can apply whatever things i've learnt in my class. Really really like my new task, simply the best that suits me very well. Alhamdulillah :)

2. Corporate video kami hari ini dapat pujian 'Fantastic!!' by our GM. My team was very glad to hear that comment. After countless nights that we have gone through by going home very late, sometimes at 11.30 p.m pun we were still stuck in the office to complete some parts of the video (Abg Faizal dah baper kali dah beristighfar biler dapat tau yg i was still in the office doing the project biler buat follow up ttg menu nasi tomato last week, tapi skang ni dah boleh tarik nafas lega). Alhamdulillah again.

3. Result exam saya dah kuar!!! I know Tikot will be very flattered by hearing this, but for Tikot's attention and the rest, i get an A for my ECONOMICS subject!!! Yeaaayyy!! Really love this subject, and actually i favour a lot the lecturer that had taught us the subject, Prof Mansor Ibrahim, the Dean of Kuliyyah Economics and Business in UIA. Tak sia-sia bagi attention kat subject dia hehe. (Ika tau naper i like him very much...ngee :D , but please dun misunderstand on my statement, i like his way and style, not more than that :)

I didn't get an A for my Marketing, however i didn't feel sad over it since i had predicted the result rite after my examination paper (tu yg pegi baca buku Faisal Tehrani Tunggu Teduh Dulu tu sbb pressure tak dpt jawap soalan exam. I had predicted that i will fail the Marketing subject actually, since i really didn't know what the heck i was answering in my examination paper, but alhamdulillah i manage to get a B+. Not bad, i got a B+ instead of my initial prediction of F. Should be ok what, lagipun after my bad experiences of high fever, pressure and cryings that i have gone through for this subject,i should be grateful to Allah for the good result that i have obtained at countless time, countless that never ended :)

4. Today is just nice for me, i can go home early and watch the Korea series 'Jewel in the Palace'. For abt 1 month i have not watch the series,kali ni nak tgk puas puas :)


Ok, nak solat Asar, and having my very good rest at home.

See ya, assalamualaikum wbt :)

Da Vinci Code

Assalamualaikum wbt,

Da Vinci Code

A story that has capability in triggering my interest to keep reading it due to its technicality and super thinking methods in solving the clues mentioned in the book, not bad to be categorized as a a good reading actually. I have to admit that i did sacrifice about one whole day during last 2 weeks to read this book at non-stop mode, not because i didn't want to stop, but i just couldn't! The book did attract my eagerness to read more and more about the episode of these 2 person who are searching for some clues, to reveal the truth of whatever secret that has been kept silent for quite some time.

This book is quite tricky and need your full attention to comprehend the message being tabled out, the continuation of the story and some of the facts given. It explicitly describes about a big conspiracy by the Christians in eliminiting the direct influences of pagans (sembahan patung-patung dan unsur-unsur alam), dominated and lead by some of established names in history like Isaac Newtons, Leornado Da Vinci,Victor Hugo and several big names of historians, artists and scientists.

Whatever pun, as this book has claims that all information that being written are true except for the storyline, i believe there are potentials for all of us to debate on the real message that this book wants us to believe, or perceive at least. I did learnt some things that i never knew before, like Sunday was meant for Day to preach the Sun ( the day that this author mentions as indirect influence by pagans in our daily life). The meaning of sign Peace that we used to do when we snap pictures. At this point of time, i just take them as exposure that worth to be known and explored more, if i have ample time. I believe Ika is more interested in doing research on this, correct Ika? ;)

Aida and Aini also had read the book respectively. I think they have better understanding on the subject of the book instead of me. So if you wanna have some kind of understanding and discussion, better refer to them,alright?

I treasure and recommend highly this book to others due to its openness in discussing the lacking and weaknesses of some religions especially Christianity (this book is quite absurd since its actually promoting pagans preachings rather than Christianity, and had claimed that there is no single religion that is pure by God but merely faith). Faith here is meant something that we do trust, believe and hold deeply in ourselves (yet when i came to this chapter, i got quite confuse, dun supposedly religion is equal to faith?). Halim has mentioned to me and Ika that he kept mengucap or bersyahadah while reading this book. Me too actually. But, we have to learn the real challenges out there, waiting us to face them, directly or not. And for that purpose, i recommend this book to you guys, read it and think. Apply the situation to Islam, and you will know what i mean. The so-called secret society defending the pagans are doing something BIG to protect their belief eventhough they have been challenged tremendously by the Christians, and how should we react to that? Keep silent and waiting for something or someone (Imam Mahadi or an Ummat leader)to save Islam and ummah? Hey, stop dreaming my friends, please do use our both hands to work, our mind to think and ponder to help Islam, and let Allah decide the rest. Defence our ummah!
(Huiyyo, bersemangatnya, takpe takpe, lama dah api semangat ni turun dek bebende dunia, bagi dia terbakar kejap and hopefully utk tempoh yg lama)

Alrite, enuff enuff, i need to take my rest after giving my 1000% commitment to my GM's presentation reports and slides today.Thanks to Allah, i'm doing business strategy and reporting, which enable me to perform my accounting and business skills now. No more legal and customer thingy running to my head.My MBA does help me a lot in understanding most of the operational and business issues in TM,its very helpful and interesting because i can apply (and i'm doing some currently actually) the whatever i've learnt in class into my working environment, alhamdulillah :)

Till my fingers meet my keyboard again tomorrow, insya Allah.

Wassalam.

Senyuman hati

Assalamualaikum wbt,

(1) Rindu

:)

Senyum yang bukan sahaja terlahir di wajah tapi jua terlukis dr hati yang paling dalam, tidak tahu hendak ditujukan kepada siapa, yang pasti hati ini sedang senyum.

Sudah lama tidak merasai senyuman ini, alhamdulillah ia kembali.

Terasa masa ini sudah saya pegang, dan saya aturkan sendiri. Mungkin menjadi salah satu faktor mengapa senyuman ini terpotret di lukisan hati.

Saya sudah rindukan Quran, dan bacaan-bacaan ilmiah yang telah lama saya tinggalkan kerana mengejar akademik yang tuntutannya bukan sedikit mahunya. Saya juga rindukan kelas Bahasa Arab saya, dan sudah rindu untuk menjejak kaki ke UIA PJ, untuk bertemu dengan pakcik cafe yang peramah, bertemu dengan auntie2 dan uncle2 yang menyeronokkan, berjumpa dgn gelagat ustaz2 yang selalu buat saya gelak riang, semuanya terlipat manis dalam kenangan.

Sebegitu dalam pun kerinduan itu, saya tidak mampu mengambil langkah untuk menyambung kembali kelas, berikutan tuntutan kerja dan studi yang begitu hebat saya rasakan. Takut bahu tidak tergalas beban, biarlah kerinduan itu saya cukupkan dgn merenung kalimah Al-Quran, kerana di situ juga satu sumber untuk saya mengenali lughatul Jannah ini.

Lapangnya dunia ketika ini, moga-moga ia sentiasa lapang untuk saya di dalam mencari erti hidup sebenar sebelum menunggu perpindahan saya ke alam akhirat sana.

Doakan saya.



(2) Nasi tomato

Semalam Ika selaku Chef dibantu oleh Kak Aza dan Ida telah berjaya memasak nasi tomato di rumah Abg Faizal, best best. Pasni leh buka catering berjaya. Nama syarikat pun dah ada, Syarikat AIs (gabungan nama Kak Aza, Ika, Ida dan err...saper ek? :D) Kak Aza jadi CEO, Ika jadi COO, Ida jadi Chief of Marketing & PR, err..saper ek tu jadi CFO..ngee :D. Saper nak jadi BOD lagi, bulih forward nama, insan-insan seperti di atas sedia untuk mempertimbangkannya, walau bagaimana pun ingin diingatkan bahawa satu sesi ujian akan dijalankan untuk membuktikan anda benar-benar layak. Nak tahu apa ujiannya?

(Drum roll)

KENA MASAK UNTUK SESI MEETING SETERUSNYA HEHEHE :D

Pasni Hany, Aida, Aini, Najibot, Farah Wahidah bleh kot. Tak lupa juga invitation dipanjang kepada Kak Wiyah, kakak-kakak lain dan Kak Saf selaku pengantin baru, bolehlah cuba nasib :D



(3) Nufayl dan Amiir (budak kenit 1 dan 2)

Ketika sedang menjaga Nufayl yang sedang tidur ketika meeting sedang berjalan dan Ika berehat sebentar di dalam bilik solat, saya merenung dalam dalam bayi ini.Comel, terasa betapa besarnya keagungan Tuhan di dalam menciptakan makhluk-makhlukNya.

Berbisik ke telinganya "Nufayl dah besar nanti kena jadi pejuang agama k, auntie doakan". Habis jer berbisik, Nufayl terjaga menangis. Ika keluar dr bilik menengok dan kemudian Hany muncul,sbb baby tak nangis Hany turun balik. Pastu baby nangis balik, kami sumbatkan dia dengan botol susu, senyap sekejap. Ingatkan baby terus tertidur so Ika masuk bilik solat balik, baby pulak sambung meragam. Hoho,ni yng rasa nak panggil jek umminya tapi umminya sdg bermeeting di tingkat bawah. Apa yer nak buat tak nak bagi Nufayl ni meragam? Saya letakkan dia di atas lantai kerana mengagak Nufayl mahu meniarap, tapi budak kenit ni masih menangis juga,Ika pulak sedang terlena sebentar di bilik solat, last last saya capai album di almari bagi Nufayl tgk gambar Abg Faizal dan Abg Teghe yang sungguh comey ketika di KISAS dulu (maaflah yer Abg Faizal kerana mengorbankan sekejap gambar abg, dah itu yang tercapai di tangan ketika meletakkan Nufayl di lantai, Iena korbankan sekejap jer tak lama hehe). Hany naik ke atas dan saya turun ke bawah, Ika pulak menjalankan eksperimen menguji kecanggihan teknologi celullar di dalam kaedah menyenyapkan bayi yang sedang meragam ketika Hany menyertai meeting kami di bawah.Berjaya sungguh Tikot. Pasni rasanya dia boleh bukak nurseri berteknologi tinggi selepas berjaya membuat eksperimen dengan Nufayl (Tikot, mau jadi business partner bulih? Ekekek)

Lepas meeting menjenguk sekejap Amiir anak Abg Faizal di Teras Jernang bersama Ika, Kak Aza dan Ida. Budak kenit no 2 ni dah lama tak jumpa, biler jumpa sibuk main dgn kunci kereta abahnya. Nak jadi driver F1 yer Amiir? Takpe takpe, Auntie doakan jugak yer :) (Cheaa cheaa..guna istilah auntie tu instead of makcik, takpelah kan, nampak moden sikit, istilah makcik tu tak rock ler, ni actually nota peringatan kat Hany sbb dia perkenalkan kami as makcik2 kat Nufayl semalam, kesian kat kitorang tau Hany :P )

Ok, perlu minta diri dulu. Doakan saya sentiasa tenang dan gembira di dalam melalui kehidupan ini k :)

Wassalam.

Al Fatihah to Rostam (Patah)

Assalamualaikum wbt,

Pagi ini menerima berita mengejutkan, my friend di STTJ dulu baru meninggal due to denggi di Melaka. Baru semalam menelefon wife Allahyarham bertanyakan khabar, dan pagi ini dia sudah tiada.

Allah, sedihnya biler teringat balik zaman kami jadi pengawas di STTJ dulu, Rostam was Penolong Ketua Pengawas Lelaki 2 ketika itu. Kami tidak begitu rapat, tapi bolehlah nak dikatakan tiada masalah untuk berkomunikasi. Ingat lagi Arwah kalau pegi bertugas mesti bersama dengan Faris, geng baik dia kalau pergi duty.

I think it was justified why i was crying like nobody business when my younger bro kena viral fever waktu time denggi tgh hangat during last year or last 2 years. Menangis telefon Ika bagitau that i was so worry biler my younger bro was admitted to HUKM sbb demam dia teruk sgt. I felt trauma biler dgr denggi sbb dapat tahu one of my female seniors di STTJ dulu pun passed away sbb denggi, so when my bro was admitted, mmg tak tentu arah jadinya.Supposedly there was a jamuan or party di rumah Zarid and i was invited, but i didn't go when i heard that my bro was admitted. Pergi melawat dia, i still remembered Rahimi called consoling me not to worry abt my younger bro when i was in my father's car heading to HUKM.Mmg menangis ler time tu.

Actually my bro was admitted abt one 4 days after dia kembali dr UKM, ditemani oleh geng2 dia yang mmg menghantar my bro balik rumah dengan keadaan berpapah. Hospital UKM tak nak terima my bro sebab katil hospital dah penuh dengan pesakit denggi. So terus kami bawa dia ke HUKM, time tu i and my father brought him and waited for abt 1 hour waiting for Doc to turned up. In the mean time, mmg asyik membasahkan tuala menyejukkan dahi my bro yg sgt panas, and menggosok tapak kaki dia utk warmkan kaki dia yang sangat sejuk. Tapi time tu he was not admitted sbb kena tunggu result test for 3 days. Biler hari ke-empat dpt tau dia kena admitted, mmg menangis. Malam tu terus pergi melawat, and when i temankan dia makan, dia vomit darah, in front of my eyes!! Aduh, lagilaa takut and terus tanya nurse, nasib baik dia kata tu normal. Normal?? Giler betul, tapi sbb nurse kata ok, takdelah takut sgt walaupun actually takut jugak ler. My younger bro was treated by a specialist and siap jadi bahan eksperimen by doktor2 pelatih sbb dia kena special viral fever, bukannya denggi. Apa pun, alhamdulillah my bro selamat :)

Al fatihah to Rostam my friend, kasihan pada anak dia. Tak sampai hati nak call wife dia skang ni. Rasa bersalah sebab tak dapat nak turun Melaka sekarang ni, and tambah rasa bersalah sbb tak sempat nak minta maaf dr Allahyarham kot kot ada buat salah kat dia dulu. Moga roh Allahyarham sentiasa dicucuri rahmat.

Teringat to my staff yang meninggal last month, Allahyarhamah Pn Rohani.

Entah biler sampai saat saya, di atas kesempatan ini saya minta maaf sgt2 dr hujung rambut ke hujung jari kaki mohon kemaafan atas segala kesalahan yang saya lakukan sama ada secara sengaja atau pun tidak, secara zahir mahupun batin kepada semua. Maafkan saya dunia akhirat yer,saya mohon maaf sungguh2.

Wassalam.

Assalamualaikum wbt,

Sdg menarik nafas panjang sekarang ni. Baru jer habis presentation Corporate Video to GM and commitee tadi, alhamdulillah dapat pujian. Seronok sket sbb mmg bagi commitment to this project eventhough supposedly i'm not in the team, mmg tangan kayu pasal graphic2 nih, tapi Keyrul ajak, so why not i join, perhaps i can learn new things here.

Yup, i did learnt so many things, how to crack software, how to animate and how to cut dubbing voice and songs, cuma Keyrul tak sempat nak ajar mcm mana nak hack website org jek lagi, hehe.Tapi serius best, eventhough tertekan dgn exam and due dates utk present part by part to GM, tapi the experience was nice. And i've learnt something that eventhough we can't contribute much on doing the things sbb tak tau nak buat, however by our participation and willingness just to stand and sit next to our mates who are dying doing the tasks sahaja are sufficient enough. Just be there, watching and giving opinions, will be highly appreciated. That was what we felt when Zaki, En. Mahmud and those unrelated to our works gave comments and be there for us.
:)

I know this afternoon i got so sucked up into anger, but i did felt it was justified. I couldn't accept to be shouted at by other people when i know that i'm not wrong. Lainlaaa kalau bebetul salah. Pernah kena tegur dgn Pres SRC dulu sbb tak siapkan minit, tu pun air muka dah berubah, inikan pulak tetiba kena naik suara tak pasal-pasal. Mmg minta maaflah, sampai ke petang tak tgk langsung muka manager. And i think he knows that i was angry that he didn't dare to sit next to me sdgkan sebelum ni kalau dlm meeting room mmg kebiasaannya akan duduk next to me. I know i'm jahat, and mmg jarang my marah kekal sehingga separuh hari, but this one i cannot accept. Tgk ler besok kot kot hati ni baik sket tak nak berdendam, dah bleh ler kot tgk muka manager balik. Anyway, he is no longer my manager becoz i've been transferred into other unit, so i'm free to do whatever i want to do hoho (bunyi jahat giler :D )

Islam kan suruh kita sentiasa memaafkan org...

Ha ah, tapi hati ni jahat sket nak retain rasa marah tu lelama sket :)

Went for a 'lunch' at 5.30 p.m with Keyrul, Tiza and Abg Is since this afternoon i didn't take my lunch sbb nak siapkan corporate video + takde selera sbb dlm terlibat di dalam krisis dgn ex boss, ended up banyak hal pejabat yang diceritakan. Get surprised of our talk content actually. Mcm-mcm perkara yg tak pernah terlintas di kepala diperbincangkan, penat otak ni nak memahami segala perkara yang sepatutnya diperbincangkan di meja mesyuarat instead of di meja makan hehe.

Oklah, i'm ok rite now, esok berlagak mcm biasa jek ngan ex boss, furnish jerlah apa yang perlu.

Wassalam :)

Hati sedang hangat

Assalamualaikum wbt,

Today my mood was not good. Bengang giler ngan ex manager, lantak ler, pasni jatuh tersungkur pun i dun care. Buat ler keje sengsorang, menangis ler sengsorang, i dun have any relation as staff lagi pada dia.

Bengang giler sbb dah susah payah tolong dia, boleh plak nak berlagak depan staff baru dgn naikkan suara ngan me. Buat laa sendiri semua, malas nak tolong lagi dah. Malas nak buat semua bende yg ada relation ngan dia, malas malas and malas!!

Huish jahatnya, tapi peduli apa,hati tgh berbara. Ingat org senyap jek selama ni, buat apa jer yg disuruh, boleh main2 naik suara ngan me. Tak tau volcano dlm hati ni bebiler masa jer boleh meletup.

Ya Allah jahatnya aku. Tapi tak kire aaa, tgh bengang ni. Lantak laaa.

Tgh emo tgh emo.

Good news for me, starting from today i am transferred to Kawalan Operasi handling Business Strategy & Reporting direct under GM. Boleh buat keje Accounting, alhamdulillah

Nak sambung buat Corporate Video, wassalam.

Felt revitalized and reborn again :)

Assalamualaikum wbt,

Hohoho, last nite when i came back from dinner treat by Mudin wif Ika and Waleeda(Mudin's fiance) waiting for America's Top Model slot (hoho, i'm following this slot since the first series, people always astonished to listen that i do follow these type of slots for instance beauty pageants, Grammy Awards and etc, hello, i'm just an ordinary person ek, suka hati ler mau tgk apa keke) , straight away i told my younger sis Ira that i felt so energized, revitalized and felt being reborn again yesterday morning. In the train to work, i had the chance to look up to the sky, thinking freely and appreciating whatever i have in life, and started to think what are the new things that i want to do in life within this 3 free weeks of semester break. Better do something. And Ira laughing like nobody business when i told her that, she felt it was so funny and unbelievable. Saiko punyer adik, baru beriyer-iyer bercerita and nak minta simpati dia dah gelakkan :P

Trust me, for the past one month, i have no chance to do the thing that i used to do. No story books except buku Menunggu Teduh by Faisal Tehrani that i read at Ika's house after my Marketing exam (tension sgt sampai pegi baca buku tu, buku tu pun bukannya baca satu buku pun, baca page tengah-tengah, pastu kat akhir2, tak tau ler bleh considered baca buku ker tidak hehe).

Quran? I know it's shame to say this, but i haven't read it for the past 3 weeks. Giler,kan?

Kekadang pk apa ler yg dikejar sgt dgn MBA ni sampai my opportunity cost begitu besar, apa sgt yg nak dikejar sampai mengorbankan hak peribadi untuk bersama Tuhan? Cuma satu jer ler, solat makin panjang sbbnya asyik pressure memanjang, so dekat sejadah ler meluahkan segalanya :)

Rupanya bukan me sorang yg pressure, ada sorang tu yang minta me keep swimming tu pun pressure jugak, tapi dia kuat semangat, takpe Cpol, harap-harap tekanan anta makin berkurangan k. Ana doakan :)

And thanks a lot to you guys, for giving me support when i need it most especially Ika for being my Econs teacher, and the rest, there are so many of you that i dun feel it fair to mention some and left the rest, so better to make all unsaid. Barakallahu fikum, may Allah bless you all with His rahmah :)

Cuti Chinese New Year, ingat nak balik kampung lawat atuk, rindunyaaaa kat atuk. I want to sit next to him and bercerita mcm what we used to do dulu-dulu. I missed him actually.

My Econs paper on last Sunday was ok, alhamdulillah. Sedih jugaklaa habis subject Econs ni sbb subject ni best, and ditambah dgn lecturer yg takde ler hensem kalau nak pk pk, tapi tak tau ler naper suka tgk muka dia. Me and Kak Ika kalau duduk sebelah menyebelah dlm kelas mesti jadi nakal usha lecturer ni ( i mean bisik-bisik waktu kelas, cakap suka aa tgk muka lecturer ni). Minta maaf yer, takde hasrat nak usha lecturer ni sbb dia dah berusia, cuma suka tgk muka dia jek , and sbb dia boleh buat lawak cerdik dan terhormat, suka aa ngan dia, i hope he'll be teaching us on one subject for other semester nanti.

Balik dr UIA, lepak umah Jie sbb kami ada gathering geng-geng satu rumah di Pre-U dulu. Ayu, Siha turun dr Penang, Aida wif husband and children, Aini with husband and daughter, Azie turun dr Melaka, Jie and Nuar selaku tuan rumah, Ika selaku tetamu jemputan. Husna dan Paie jer yg tak dpt hadir, Husna masih di UK, Paie allahualam, luper plak nak tanya naper dia tak dtg.

Kecoh giler umah Jie hari tu, ngan Auni yang buat action bleh jadi penyanyi suprano bak kata Ika, Amni yg kami sumbat dia dgn daun salad tak henti-henti n Fawwaz yang senyum penuh unik (dia senyum sebelah jek, comeyy sgt). Seronoklah berkumpul balik reramai antara kami, and Jie masak boleh tahan. Degil minah kenit ni, dah tau perut tu makin membesar, org kata jgn masak tak payah ler masak, order je ler, degil jugak dia nak masak, kan dah penat, nasib baik ada cik abg yg nak bantu kat dapur, kalau idak mau pengsan makcik sorang ni hehe. Tapi dia masak best, alhamdulillah. Moga murah rezeki Najibot (nama betul dia Najibah, tapi suka panggil dia Najibot hehe) and husband pemalu, Nuar.

Balik dr umah Jie, pegi lawat Aidah Misran pulak, my bestfren di SMPP dulu. tak sempat nak ke majlis akad nikah dia yang berlangsung pada malam Sabtu, so pegi pada petang Ahad lepas kenduri dia. Lama dah tak jumpa bestfren sorang ni, biler jumpa dia n husband, byk ler citer2 kami. Husband dia walaupun first time jumpa, peramah and mmg bersopan sungguh. Bolehlah nak citer panjang ngan dia. Yang rasa terbakar sket tu biler dia kata bebudak MMU ni kebanyakannya bebudak yg tak berapa bright tapi sbb kaya so bolehlaa study sana. Huish, time tu mmg terasa terbakarlaa jugak, awatnya dia cakap camtu. Pastu rupanya kat office dia, ada budak Lim Kok Wing and MMU, tapi performance budak MMU tu tak mcm standard budak Lim Kok Wing. Tak dpt ler nak comment byk sbb bebudak FCM punyer keje, compete pulak dgn budak Lim Kok Wing, rasanya LKW lebih better kot. Allahualam.

Ok ler, nak sambung buat video corporate, insya-Allah kita jumpa lagi next week kalau umur saya masih panjang.

Ilal liqa' wassalamualaikum :)

P/S : Mudin, syukran sbb belanja dinner semalam, bertuah awak dapat Waleeda tu, comel and bersopan. Bagus adikku, nanti kalau awak dah kahwin, akak dah ada proxy nak cubit atau nak pukul awak kalau awak nakal heheh ;)

Wassalam.

Unforgettable semester

Assalamualaikum wbt,

Saya sudah menangis pagi ini di meja ofis, menangis yg bukan jenis cover2 punyer, ni mmg jenis yang kuat melepaskan perasaan apabila Kak Imah bertanyakan ttg exam semalam.

Sebu rasanya pagi ini. Overwhelmed pressure.

Sejak dari pagi tadi, baru berada di dalam train bersama Ika dan Jie, belum lagi sampai ofis, sudah terasa pressure memanjat diri. Orang lain sudah berada di UIA untuk bersedia dgn exam Econs Ahad ni, saya perlu di ofis berikutan banyak tugasan yang perlu diselesaikan. Corporate video dan tugasan rutin lainnya yang memerlukan saya berada di ofis. Perlu dan wajib. Esok saya sepatutnya bercuti, tetapi GM keluar e mail minta semua executives table BP untuk Quality Initiatives, which means i have to work juga tomorrow!! Keyrul sudah datang mahukan saya berada di tempat dia untuk sudahkan our Corporate Video. Ya Allah, bergolaknya rasa hati pada pagi ini.

Semalam exam Marketing. Kali ini saya bebetul tak yakin dengan jawapan yang saya berikan semalam, entahkan tepat atau tidak dengan kehendak soalan. Study case basis, so i have to answer the questions based on the case study provided. Case study sudah diberikan sejak minggu lepas, sudah dihadamkan tetapi apabila sampai exam, entah apa yang dijawab. Tidak tahu apa kehendak soalan, dan dengan sesuka hatinya menjawab asalkan tiada ruang kosong. Paling benci apabila perlu menghadapi exam dengan keadaan yang penuh ketidakpastian. Emir my classmate sempat mengucapkan good luck, dan berkata yang dia sedang berdebar-debar tidak tahu apa yang bakal ditanya dlm Exam Marketing nanti. Jangan tanya saya, kerana saya sendiri merasakan preparation saya tidak cukup comprehensive berbanding preparation exams saya pada semester sudah. Semester kali ini banyak menuntut kesabaran saya yang bukan sedikit, dengan outstation dan tugasan luar, dengan kesibukan membuat project pada setiap minggu, rasanya semester ini saya kurang perform. Being a prefectionist, saya merasakan performance kali ini is below from my common standard. Saya bukan jenis mementingkan markah, kalau saya sudah berbuat sehabis baik tapi resultnya tidak sebaik mana, saya sudah berpuas hati. Sebab saya tahu saya sudah berusaha sehabis baik. Kali ini, entahlah. Preparation tidak cukup atas desakan masa dan keperluan peribadi.

Bertemu dengan Azwan dan Liana di Management Centre, UIA pada pukul 2.30 petang selepas memohon kebenaran pulang awal dr my manager. Azwan said to us that nothing can be done dah, hafal ker tak hafal, buat jerlah dlm exam hall nanti. Salah sendiri tak study awal. Kami gelak. Tapi masing-masing faham, mmg semester kali ini menuntut masa kami begitu banyak. Azwan sibuk dengan IT reporting dia untuk Bank Negara. Kak Liana jek yg ada masa utk spend her times di Genting etc. kadang-kadang dia pelik kenapa i have to prepare those business plan, video corporate and etc, yg mcm tak relevan dgn my own tasks, i just said to her, it's normal in my division. You do something that is beyond your routine tasks because you are required to do so by the management.

This morning, after i've cried (Kak Imah hugged me like a baby, malunya), i asked Kak Imah to accompany me beli makanan utk releasekan stress. Betullah org kata, menangis boleh bantu kita hilangkan perasaan tertekan.

Cukuplah lesson that i've learnt from this semester. How bz you are, just do your revision by hook or by crook. I really hope the next semesters after this, i'll perform better.

I will remember this semester very-very much. With my experiences in Penang that led me to have high fever while doing my assignment and business presentations, until to the last moment of doing my exam paper last nite.

Whine Zurina, whine. After this, no more. And please no more.

Saya sendiri sudah bosan mengeluh, apatah lagi org yg mendengar. I hope i won't repeat the same thing again and again.

Wish me luck for the next exam, and wish me happy dunia dan akhirat.

Acheh trip: Last week i asked my mum one more time, she was 50-50 to let me go. Memula tak bagi, pastu bagi. So i planned to go for next week since i have the passport with me already. However, GM has delayed our BP presentation to 7 Feb, which means on next Monday. I have to be in the office to back up my manager. And the last week of February, high possibility i will be in Sabah to make business presentations. Therefore, my chance to go to Acheh is 50 - 50. And i don't even know if En. Budi will approve my one week leave application or not if it is not during the week of Chinese New Year. Kalau ada yang nak pergi, just inform me k.

Wassalam.

P/S: Rasa teruk jek mengeluh pasal exam n study, bukannya teruk sgt pun actually kalau compare dgn masalah dunia yang lain, tapi tak kira jugak sbb pk nak lepaskan perasaan. Uwaaa!!! :D

Pengorbanan dan defence

Assalamualaikum wbt,

Pengorbanan bagi seorang anak adalah berkorban dan berbuat sehabis baik untuk ibu bapanya, dan bagi seorang kakak atau abg, melepaskan hajat bersemarak di hati hanya untuk melihat kesenangan adik-adiknya.

Bagaimana pengorbanan yang dituntut oleh Allah kepada kita sebagai hamba?

Adakah perlu?

Allah minta kita bersabar, bersabar di dalam membuat ibadah, bersabar untuk tidak melakukan sebarang maksiat, bersabar di dalam menghadapi setiap dugaanNya.

Sukarkah kita untuk berkorban agar melepaskan pakaian yang cantik tetapi tidak menutup aurat, semata-mata kerana Allah? Beratkah kaki kita untuk keluar melangkah atau berbuat sesuatu untuk usaha-usaha dakwah atas sebab mahu berseronok di rumah?

Bukankah untuk mendapatkan rahmat Allah kita perlu banyak berkorban? Berkorban nafsu, berkorban keinginan yang bukan sedikit mahunya, berkorban perasaan yang membara untuk diluahkan dengan serta merta apabila kita mahu marah contohnya,berkorban harta dan jiwa jika perlu, semata-mata mahu raihkan redha Tuhan.

Persoalan diri dan semua yang patut ditanya, apakah sudah kita melakukan pengorbanan yang dituntut atas dasar Islam? Masih berlewa-lewaankah kita lagi sedang saudara kita sedang merana disembelih oleh golongan kuffar di luar sana, tak mahukah kita berkorban sedikit masa memikirkan usaha yang perlu dilaksana untuk kita tinggikan nilai Islam, dalam kehidupan kita dan juga untuk manusia sejagat, serta sedikit masa untuk mengimplementasinya?

Seruan pada hari ini hanyalah satu. Korbankan sedikit masa santai anda untuk melakukan sesuatu yang berfaedah. Yang menjana kebaikan, dan yang menghapuskan kemaksiatan, li llahi Ta'ala.

Mungkin banyak lagi yang belum kita korbankan untuk kemaslahatan agama Allah, fikir-fikirkan.

Satu peringatan buat diri dan semua.

Bak kata satu cerita English yang ditonton kelmarin:

" If at one particular stage you do feel so comfortable, it is time for you to revise your defence".

Tanda lekanya da'ie adalah dengan banyaknya masa rehatnya dalam berdakwah - excerpt dr salah satu blog ketika blog hopping.

Sering kalilah kita menilai pertahanan diri kita, takut-takut kita terleka.

Wassalam.

Rasa nak menangis

Assalamualaikum wbt,

Sebenar-benarnya kalau boleh tak nak mengeluh, tapi serius sekarang ni terasa air mata ni biler-biler akan menitik turun.

Balik-balik pada topik yang sama, pressure.

Truly i'm the middle of pressure time, due to my project & assignment submission and final exam next week. Tomorrow nite ada Marketing project submission and presentation, this becoming Sunday i have to handover my Econs assignment.

I have not yet covered my syllabus for Econs and Marketing exams, and now GM nak minta kami deliver part 2 and 3 of our corporate video on this becoming Friday biler dah selesai view part 1 kami tadi.

Truly rasa bebetul nak nangis skang ni.

Ya Allah, permudahkanlah segala urusanku dunia dan akhirat. Ameen.

Wassalam.

Siri hidup selama 2 minggu

Assalamualaikum wbt,

Minggu ini telah 2 kali saya diberi teguran, teguran membina dan saya appreciate sampai bila-bila.

Sejak 2 minggu lepas kehidupan saya seperti tak terkatakan kesibukan dan tekanannya. Manakan tidak, dgn Business Planning 2005 presentation, FMD corporate video dan persediaan project Marketing, saya terasa seperti tak punya masa untuk benda-benda lain. Mengejar masa dan kerja, penat, thrill, panic dan sebagainya.

"Kita ini biasanya menganggap kerja yang kita lakukan sehar-harian ini sebagai kerja utama, sedangkan kerja utama kita adalah kerja-kerja Allah. Sebab itu kita asyik merasakan kesibukan dan tidak kecukupan masa". Aduh,betul-betul terkesan teguran tersebut.

"Yela..ana rasa hidup kita terlalu sibuk dengan benda2 yang sebenarnya tak begitu penting bagi kita. Hidup tanpa masa untuk diri sendiri - Imam Ghazali kata manusia yang sibuk dengan benda2 yang tiada kena mengena dengan hidupnya ialah manusia yang jauh dari ALLAH!" Kata-kata seorang sahabat yang buat saya tersenyap dan hampir menangis. Begitu jauhkah saya dgn Tuhan?

Ya Allah, Kau redhakanlah setiap langkahku dalam mengharungi kehidupan ini.Aku dah tak punya apa di dunia ini selain dariMu, jangan Kau palingkan wajahMu dariku di dunia ini dan di akhirat nanti.

One of my direct staff, Pn Rohani passed away pada malam Raya Aidiladha yang lepas. Perginya beliau pada 11.45 malam Sabtu, tetapi saya tidur awal hingga selepas solat Subuh pagi Raya kedua baru saya dapat tahu beliau sudah tiada. Alhamdulillah sempat mengunjungi beliau di ICU 2 hari sebelum beliau meninggal dunia. Mmg beliau di dalam keadaan nazak dan memerlukan bantuan pernafasan ketika lawatan saya itu. Pada mulanya saya merenung wajahnya, tetapi tidak rasa apa kecuali kasihan dan berdoa moga dia kuat, namun bila bergerak balik ke kenderaan untuk kembali ke pejabat, cuba membayangkan kalau ibu saya yang berada di tempat Pn Rohani, air mata sudah mula bergenang. Sungguh tabah anak-anak beliau dalam menghadapi kematian ibu mereka. Kalau saya, sudah pasti menangis tak keruan agaknya.

Teringat lagi, beliau selalu supplykan saya makanan kalau lapar sgt-sgt dan berada di dalam keadaan yang tak membenarkan saya ke kantin untuk membeli makanan. Mmg tempat beliau dan Kak Awie akan jadi tumpuan saya kalau Kak Imah takde supply biskut.Beliau menderita sakit otot sejak awal tahun lepas, tetapi alhamdulillah di dalam sakit-sakit beliau, arwah dikurniakan kekuatan untuk mengerjakan haji bersama anak lelaki dan suaminya pada musim haji yang lepas. Semoga beliau berada di dalam rahmat Allah sentiasa.

Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un buat Allahyarhamah.

Sepupu saya accident terlanggar lori yang tak berikan signal untuk membelok, menyebabkan sepupu saya patah tangan dan kaki bersama seorang sahabat rapatnya yang cedera di peha. Saya melawatnya bersama dengan adik perempuan saya Eqa di Hospital Seremban. Mengerang sepupu saya ini kesakitan, tetapi yang saya kagumkan lidahnya tak lepas-lepas menyebut kalimah Allah.

Sempat saya usap rambutnya dan berkata "Sabar byk2 k, Allah sayang Nana sbb itu Dia bagi dugaan. Hendak jadi doktor kena jadi kuat, Allah akan bagi Nana peluang jadi doktor sbb Nana dah merasa sakitnya menjadi seorang pesakit." Saya harap doa saya akan dikabulkan.

Saya bertanya izin ibu untuk ke Acheh, saya tidak jangkakan kebenaran mahupun penolakan kerana biasanya keputusan ibu agak unpredictable. Tapi alhamdulillah ibu benar-benar minta saya ke sana, malah menyuruh saya membawa adik saya. Eqa mmg sudah menyatakan hasrat ingin mengikut sebelum itu, ketika saya belum menyuarakan hasrat kami kepada ibu. Saya tanyakan mengapa ibu benarkan saya ke sana, tak takutkah saya ditenggelami tsunami di sana nanti? Jawabnya hanya pendek "Pergilah agar ada kesedaran hidup di sana".

Tersenyum saya dengan jawapan ibu, alhamdulillah :). Harap-harap kaki saya cukup panjang untuk ke sana, moga moga.


(5)

Menonton rancangan Hajj: A Journey of A Lifetime by NTV7, saya sudah tidak sabar mahu ke sana lagi. Insya-Allah kalau umur saya panjang, akan mengikut ibu saya ke sana untuk mengerjakan haji pada 2010 bersama kakak dan ayah. Sekali lagi, moga-moga kaki saya cukup panjang langkahnya untuk ke sana lagi. Kali ini bukan untuk umrah, tetapi untuk mengerjakan ibadat kelima dalam rukun Islam. Doakan untuk kami yer :)

Wassalam.

Worthwhile or not?

Assalamualaikum wbt,

I did realize myself that i did not update this blog for quite sometimes due to my hands were tight with business planning for 2005 and some other important things. Do forgive me k :)

Today i had an interesting discussion with Azwan while we had our lunch at UIA during our assignment discussion session break.We talked about office matters a lil bit, and suddenly our topic went to the Day of Judgement somehow.I was astonished becoz i did had the same thought like him before especially when people keep giving you e mail on it after the tsunami incident.

There was one this moment when i did asked myself, does it worthwhile to take MBA while actually people keep alerting you that the Day of Judgement is just near around the corner? What if the Day is determined to be happened in this year? Next year? Or next 5 years? Is it worth for you to continue your MBA while actually you can spend your money and life differently then? Why don't just go and enjoy your life and money as much as you can, or spend your life to be in masjid and pray hard for forgiveness from Allah rather than squeezing your mental and head very hard to finish up most of your assignments, projects and exams? What about our long term investment in stocks, insurance and etc? Are they worthwile for us to keep? These kind of questions did struck me during this week actually.

Actually, we can relate this issue to Demand and Supply Analysis for Speculations in subject Econs where if you speculate that the value of something will get down or high in the near future, you will react towards those speculations by certain suitable responses, let say in my case if we speculate the value of MBA is zero coz you couldn't use it since kiamat happens earlier than you expect it, then you would rather keep your money and use them for something else to enjoy your life better rather than spend it for something that you know at the end will not be utilized at all. Mcm title lagu Linkin Park pulak 'At the end it doesn't even matter' hehe.

I laughed when Azwan suddenly brought the issue, and he said exactly the things that i had in mind before. He said " Kalau dah nak kiamat, berguna ker apa yg kita belajar ni? Baik aku enjoy puas-puas hidup aku atau aku bertaubat banyak-banyak". His statement had caused me laugh very hard actually. And then i kept quiet and think whatever he said while having my lunch.

When i think the subject over and over again, then i realize no matter what kind of job you do, as long as you do them for Allah, they will always be recompensated by Allah, insya Allah if we really ikhlas. If you think that the purpose of study, or whatever tasks that you do or will do are meant for duniawi solely, of course you will get dissapointed and demotivated to learn that your expectations will not be met.

And i remember that hadis Rasulullah yang menyeru kita berbuat kebaikan walaupun kiamat itu sudah cukup hampir dgn kita. Buat sedaya upaya kita, resultnya biar Allah yang tentukan. Hari kiamat itu rahsia Allah, kita tidak tahu biler ia terjadi, maka sebelum ia berlaku, kitalah yang bertanggungjawab untuk menanam kebaikan untuk kita tuai di akhirat nanti.

Di ofis ni, setiap performance dinilai dengan Key Performance Index (KPI), agak-agak amal ibadat kita selama ni kita pernah set KPI and measure ker? Fikir fikirkan...

:)

Wassalam.

Promosi Perancangan kewangan Peribadi (PKP)

Soalan Lazim Mengenai Perancangan Kewangan Peribadi (PKP)

S: Apakah dia PKP?

J: PKP adalah satu kaedah pengurusan kewangan yang dilakukan oleh individu bagi memastikan setiap pendapatan dan perbelanjaannya teratur dan mengikut kemampuan dan keperluan dirinya.

S: Mengapa saya perlukan PKP?

J: PKP adalah satu usaha berterusan yang berguna bagi setiap individu dan keluarga bagi satu jangka yang panjang. Kita mesti ingat bahawa kehidupan kita bukanlah suatu perjalanan masa kehidupan yang konstan dan jumud. Tidak ada satupun di dalam kehidupan kita adalah pasti. Sekarang anda mungkin mempunyai tahap kewangan yang kukuh, tetapi tiada siapa yang akan tahu apa yang akan berlaku kepada sumber kewangan anda pada masa hadapan. Tiada siapa berani menjamin bahawa kerjanya atau perniagaannya atau sumber kewangannya tidak akan habis atau hilang dalam masa terdekat atau pada masa akan datang. Apakah apabila telah datangnya masa tersebut baru kita mula sedar untuk merancang kewangan kita?

Tanayakan diri anda: Saya mepunyai anak yang kini mungkin berusia 2-3 tahun dalam masa 4-5 tahun lagi dia akan mulai masuk darjah satu. 9-10 tahun lagi tingkatan 1 dan kemudiannya ke Universiti. Setiap satunya akan medatangkan kos yang tinggi. Saya mempunyai (atau merancang) 2-3 atau lebih anak. Apakah perancangan saya untuk mereka?

S: Jadi apa yang saya perlu lakukan?

J: Pertama sekali tidak ada gunanya kita cuba melakukan sesuatu tanpa ada kesedaran untuk melakukannya. Kemudian setelah mempunyai kesedaran kita mesti mempunyai pengetahuan atau know how akan kaedah melakukannya. Tetapi kaedah sahaja tanpa disiplin tidak akan dapat membuatkan kita berdisiplin dalam perancangan kita. Maka kita perlukan satu support group bagi memastikan perancangan kita berjaya.

Maka kesimpulannnya untuk PKP, kita perlukan:

Kesedaran
Ilmu pengetahuan atau know how
Disiplin dengan kaedah support group.

S: Saya mempunyai kesedaran tetapi saya tidak tahu bagaimana mendapatkan ilmu melakukannya dan support group bagi tujuan ini. Jadi bagaimana?

J: Ilmu anda boleh dapati di kedai-kedai buku, internet, seminar atau bertanyakan kepada saudara-mara atau rakan-rakan yang pernah melakukannya. Support group pula boleh terdiri dari suami/isteri kita dan juga daripada rakan-rakan kita.

Buku-buku yang baik banyak boleh didapati di kedai-kedai buku tetapi tidak banyak seminar yang diadakan bagi tujuan ini dan selalunya harga penyertaan agak mahal. Satu seminar mungkin memerlukan kos dari beberapa ratusan sehingga beribu ringgi. Tetapi ini sepatutnya tidak menjadi satu penghalang dan dianggap satu kos merugikan. Malah sepatutnya kita melihat perkara ini seperti satu pelaburan jangka panjang.

S: Bagaimana saya boleh mendapatkan infomasi mengenai seminar-seminar ini?

J: Seminar-seminar ini boleh didapati dari pelbagai tempat dan syarikat. Internet, Yellow pages dan bertanyakan rakan-rakan dan saudara adalah satu kaedah pencariannya. Salah satu syarikat yang menawarkan perancangan seumpama ini ialah AFAQ Consultancy & Training Sdn Bhd yang menawarkan seminar satu hari dengan harga serendah RM180* seorang. Untuk infomasi lanjut boleh menghubungi saudara Iswardy (0129733273) atau email munajat12@yahoo.com. AFAQ bukan sahaja mengajarkan kaedah perancangan kewangan, tetapi bagaimana menyimpan dengan bijak dan menjanakan kewangan tambahan agar setiap peserta mempunyai “financial freedom” disamping menyediakan support group di kalangan para peserta.

Namun begitu, terdapat juga syarikat-syarikat dan badan-badan yang lain yang menawarkan perkara yang serupa. Ia terpulang kepada kesungguhan kita mencarinya dan kemudian yang penting mengamalkan dengan penuh dedikasi demi kesejahtaraan dan keutuhan rumahtangga kita.

(* Bagi pendaftaran kumpulan sebelum 15hb Januari)

PKP akan dikendalikan oleh panel yang berpengalaman dan telah dengan sendirinya berjaya di dalam perancangan kewangan mereka. Di antaranya ialah:

1. Dr Tengku Shahrom Tengku Shahdan (Phd) Georgia. CEO Impian-Teknik Integration System.

2. Tn Hj Mazmi Kamal – Pakar Jururunding Perniagaan dan IT

3. Ustaz Luqman – Agen Takaful, Pengarah dan Jururunding AFAQ Training and Consultancy.

PKP akan berlangsung pada:

Tarikh: 30 Januari 2005
Tempat: De Palma Inn Shah Alam
Masa: 8.30 pagi – 5.30 Petang
Bayaran: RM 250* seorang
Hubungi Iswardy Morni untuk pendaftaran atau keterangan lanjut di:

Tel: 0129733272
Email: munajat12@yahoo.com
Fax: 03 56319150 (UP Iswardy)

************************************************************************************

Saya tolong mempromosikan seminar ni pada sesiapa yang berminat. Boleh bagitau saya kalau berminat k, rate akan dapat lebih murah kalau pergi berkumpulan (RM 180 seorang).

Wassalam.

Assignment Marketing

Assalamualaikum wbt,

Guys, i am really happy since last nite until this morning. Why ah?

Last nite, as usual i went to Marketing class with 1001 feelings over the subject itself. Rasa down sgt2 sbb rasa mcm tak leh nak score for assignment 20 marks + blur apa bende subject ni nak + pressure sbb asyik kena buat presentation padahal kitorang tak tau apa yg kitorang buat tu betul ker salah + rasa mcm nak drop jek subject ni.

And last nite Kak Rina's group buat the first presentation, and the session was supposedly meant for the whole class presentation within 1 and half hour. And guess what? Kak Rina's presentation alone had consumed up the 1 half hour! Sebabnya Dr Nik banyak bagi comment ttg apa yg dia rasa kami perlu improve, cthnya camner nak identify key issue of the case, mcm mana nak decide alternative of the problem solutions and etc.

And yet, kami jadi lagi blur, dr rasa sket2 faham langsung jadi confuse tak faham langsung. Mende subject Marketing nih nak sebenarnya? Serius dulu ingat subject ni senang, end up skang ni rasanya nilaa subject yg paling memeningkan kepala sebenarnya. Dasya siap cakap rasa mcm baru masuk first class balik sbb dah confuse sgt2. Totally buat me felt so down last nite.

Pastu, at the end of the class, jeng jeng jeng!! Dr Nik returned our assignments, the assignment that made me felt so depressed waktu kat Penang. Serious say, i never felt so depressed like what i felt when i was in Penang last month. Dgn nak cater for 2 very important presentations (presentation utk corporate and business customers + presentation pasal Legal yg legal termnya sungguh byk and nak kena hafal and faham) yg mmg perlukan research and extensive preparation + kena jadi MC and berlagak jadi expert pasal Law sbb takut org tanya pasal Acts and Tribunal issue + kena prepare utk perjumpaan dengan Ketua Polis Penang kot kot dia tanya pasal Acts and statisitics + NAK KENA BUAT INDIVIDUAL MARKETING ASSIGNMENT yang bernilai 20% and still kena buat market research dan analysis and pastu kena come out dgn marketing plan + nak get ready for Econs mid term pada hujung minggu tu. Boleh bayangkan tak dlm journey nak ke Penang and Kedah i bawa print outs utk assignment and baca dlm keta En. Amir!! Pressure betul time tu.

I think sbb due to the extensive pressure ni, i dapat demam panas kat sana. Ni mmg work pressure paling teruk i pernah rasa. Sbb demam, i tak leh nak siapkan assignment on due date sbb biler makan ubat jek, mengantuk and tidur sampai Subuh padahal dah set alarm nak bangun pukul 3 pagi untuk buat assignment. I tak sit for Econs mid term pun pada Ahadnya sbb balik dr Penang on Thursday tu, demam tak recover lagi n buat medical check up sambil request from Prof's approval utk tak sit for the exam. Tak larat sgt nak buka buku.

I submitted my marketing assignment tu one week late. Mmg dah fully prepared utk dapat markah rendah sbb hantar lewat seminggu + mmg buat assignment tu di dalam keadaan demam, mmg takde masa nak pk panjang2, main buat jek. So semalam waktu Dr Nik returned my assignment, mmg assume yg i will get among the lowest in the class. Rasa down pasal subject Marketing ni sbb mmg dah agak result assignment ni mesti tak best.

Tapi alhamdulillah biler dapat result semalam i dapat 14/20. The highest was Azwan yg dapat 17/20 and Kak Liana dapat 16/20, Dasya dapat 12/20. For me yg dilanda pressure tahap naga and demam panas ketika buat assignment tu + hantar lewat seminggu, what do you expect me to feel? I was soooooooooooooooooo happy sbbnya for me, dpt siapkan assignment tu dgn keadaan me yg huru hara di Penang sajer dah jadi satu kejayaan besar to me personally. But to expect dapat result yg among the highest mmg mcm satu mimpi. Serius terkejut and syukur sgt2. Alhamdulillah :)

And our motivation yg mmg down giler2 waktu confuse dgn penerangan Dr Nik pasal presentation Kak Rina tadi kembali naik biler dapat result ok. Bersemangat balik, kalau tak mmg i rasa mcm nak drop jek subject ni hehe. One more thing, i was happy sbb my group members (Azwan, Kak Liana and Dasya) sumernya dapat result yg ok. Dr Nik cakap sebenarnya dia agak strict bagi markah this time sbb dia nak kitorang belajar bebetul and faham apakah cabarannya nak buat Marketing Plan yg bukan sajer nak kena analyse marketing strategy, tapi kena analyse the most highest business strategies as well. Kalau setakat nakkan markah merely education standard, Dr Nik cakap for those yg dapat 12 marks and above sebenarnya akan dpt 16/20 and above. Tapi dia nak kami bebetul faham and boleh apply apa yg kami belajar dlm business world nanti. I dun mindlah baper pun dia nak bagi sbbnya mmg dah set dlm kepala akan dapat result teruk, so biler dpt 14/20 dah kira bersyukur dah. And ramai my groupmates yg dapat markah below than me and they went to see Dr Nik nak tambahkan markah derang. For me, 14 is enough as i never expect akan dpt markah setinggi tu hehe.

Hari ni akan tidur rumah Ika lagi, nak pergi IIS program malam ni, Fazrul will give talk tonight.

Boleh tarik nafas lega skang ni, semua keja and assignment dah ok. Skang ni nak concentrate on BP planning for 2005 pulak.

Utk insan misteri yg hantar SMS semalam, tak yah envy with me k, Sami Yusuf tu jauh kat UK sana, susah me nak pi usha dia hehe. Tapi takpe, kita berkongsi minat org yg sama, ok jek with me hehe :)

Alrite guys, later k. Wassalam :)

Have mercy on me laa my dear PC

Aaaarrgghhh....!!

Bengangnya, my pc was being attacked by virus while i was in the middle of doing my assignment!! Skang ni tgh menulis dalam Save Mode.

Dz helped me out to clean the virus, tapi virus ni mmg degil tahap naga, dlm Save Mode pun dia tak leh nak di'clean up'.

Tolonglaa PC, dahlaa i'm really down for my Marketing subject ni sbb hari tu hantar lambat assignment coz i went to Penang, esok i nak buat presentation, time ni pulak nak buat hal. Give me mercy laa sket!! Duuhhh...tense tense.

Sabar iena sabar. Sabar bebanyak, fuuhh...fuuhh...fuuhh (inhale n exhale 10 kali)

Kalau tak score Marketing kali ni, i'll sit the paper back, which kalau boleh tak nak sebenarnya. Tak nak repeat paper, uwaaa!!!

Good bye 2004, and here we come 2005!!

Assalamualaikum wbt,

Kaifa haalukum? La'allakum bil khayr, insya Allah :)

(1) Tsunami

Allahu Akbar wa astaghfirullah...

Dalam memuji kebesaran Allah yang berkuasa berbuat segalanya, terdetik juga di hati untuk memohon keampunan atas segala kelalaian selama ini.

Pasti semuanya sudah 'havoc' dgn kejadian tsunami baru-baru ini. Kejadian alam yang very destructive, yang tak pernah terlintas di minda ia akan terjadi di Malaysia yang terletak di luar kawasan Lingkaran Gunung Berapi. Tapi itulah kuasa Allah,kan? Dia berkuasa atas segalanya. Selama ni mmg ingat tsunami akan melanda Hawaii dan Jepun sahaja, siapa tahu yg ia boleh berlaku kepada Malaysia juga.

Sememangnya me myself mmg sgt2 interested dgn kejadian Mother Nature. Volcano erruptions, tornado, tsunami, lightning, apa sahaja yg membabitkan bencana alam, i'm on it. Malah cita-cita saya dulu ialah menjadi volcanolist, amat interested untuk melihat kejadian lahar ditumpahkan ke atas muka bumi secara dekat. Sehingga tahap itu minat saya mengkaji kejadian alam ini. Twister (1 movie ttg tornado) adalah salah satu movie yg saya berkeras nak tgk walaupun kawan-kawan mengajak menonton movie yg lebih best. Tapi skang ni end up jadi accountant bidan terjun selama 3 bulan kalau Business Controller deliver baby@ lawyer yg takde LLB @marketer yang kurang gemar nak buat keje2 yg deal dgn customers :) (rasa nak mengeluh tapi tak jadi sbbnya Abg Faizal marah kalau byk mengeluh hehe)

Kasihan mangsa2 tsunami, tiada apa yang tinggal pada mereka kecuali nyawa. Harta, rumah, kenderaan, hatta sampan untuk mencari rezeki juga musnah. Bayangkan kita berada di tempat mereka, kasihan sgt2. Ujian Allah bagi mereka. Bukankah ujian itu adalah perkara yg pasti akan menimpa hamba-hamba Allah untuk mengetahui tahap keimanan masing-masing?

Firman Allah bermaksud: “Yang sudah menjadikan kehidupan dan kematian untuk menguji kamu, manakah di antara kamu yang paling baik amalannya.” (Surah al-Mulk, ayat 2).

Kalau ada kelapangan rezeki, berilah sumbangan kepada mangsa-mangsa ini. Tak punya rasa bersalah ker kita ketika menyuap makanan mewah (Prosperity Burger Mc' D contohnya..err..err, baru jek makan ngan Ika hari tuh), tapi saudara-saudara kita di Acheh atau di mana sahaja tak punya makanan sebutir pun untuk ditelan?


(2) MBA

Ika diseludup masuk ke kelas Econs semalam. Banyak mata memandang agaknya memikirkan ada student baru ker yg dtg? Hehe, my 'free of charge tutor' ni accompanied me in the class to see how MBA class is conducted. Aler, kelas mcm biasa ler, mcm tahap kita degree level dulu, lebih kurang gitu jek, cuma syllabusnyer advance sedikit. Topic presentation semalam was Foreign Exchange System (FOREX), serious tak paham memula sbbnya one group ni mentioned pasal financial regime apa ntah, second presentation baru paham sket. Best sebenarnya belajar Econs ni, belajar byk benda ttg sistem ekonomi dunia :)

Tidur rumah Ika for 2 nites, ada org tu rajin buat candle light dinner lagi. Punyerlaa rajin, if me out ler kot. Mmg tak pernah terpk nak candle light dinner with someone which is not your spouse hehe. Apa pun, kudos to Ika for her delicious spaghetti, black paper beef (my favourite) and vegi soup. Next time leh buat lagi k. Hehe. Ooh yer, terpaksa admit yg i did recite du'a supaya Sami Yusuf jadi my husband, klakar jek, tapi ok apa, mana tau pintu langit terbuka semalam, bertuah badan kekeke.

(3) Time management and quest

Ok, today and tomorrow my priority will be on time scheduling for my studies, keje n etc for the year 2005. Don't want to be a robot yg hanya memikirkan ttg keje n studies jek. Byk lagi bende di dunia ni utk di'explore'. Let's begin our quest k, may 2005 brings us more wisdom and freedom to start our journey, with the mercy and rahmah from Allah, insya-Allah :)

Selamat tinggal diari 2004. Kukira aku sudah semakin matang mengharungi perjalanan hidup ini, perjalananmu umpama warna warni di kanvas hidup diri ini yang penuh dengan coretan suka duka yang tak tergambarkan, mewujudkan keindahan yang terhasil atas campuran-campuran warna itu. Mana mungkin cantik lukisan kalau warnanya hanya satu, monotonous tidak beriak,bukan?

Bersyukur, apa pun bersyukur apa yg kita punyai dan kita hadapi :)

Salam ukhuwah untuk adik Ainul dan yang lain-lain, moga ada kesempatan untuk kita bersua muka merapatkan tautan hati nanti insya-Allah :)

P/s: sekarang ni musim demam lagu Al Mua'llim pulak kat my ofis skang ni, dah ada 3 org ofismate yg pasang lagu ni setiap hari hehe. Seronok pulak tgk sumer suka lagu ni. Jazakallahuma pada Bro Amin yg pasang lagu ni blognya, and pada Afiz yg postkan URL, kalau tak mungkin kami tak berkesempatan nak dgr lagu ni :)
