People change and things go wrong

People are more difficult to work with than machines. And when you break a person, he can't be fixed.

The Battle of Labyrinth

Life is not perfect and so we are, fortunately. How fortunate it is if people could understand this imperfection which I think everybody has experience(s) on it. Being cruel to people who you hate, I believe that you are not hating him or her, but his or her attitude(s), right? I guess that is right.

Knowing this imperfection, we also live by our own choices and maybe some other choices which were decided by parents or on family demand. Life is full of choices. Branches here and there. To do this or not to do this. Too many 'or's until we choose to have the simplest job to do, yet to expect the most rich and satisfied reward. They do not really match each other, right? 

Just like seasons, people change. Sometimes, it is not the people itself, but the feelings within the person that influence his or her mind greatly. We often blame others for any wrongs. But do we check ourself and try to put ourself as the person at fault. I believe that we could feel if the fault comes from us. We have our own sixth sense. We know what we are doing, but it does not mean we are on the right track. Even a simple essay must be shown to our lecturers to check either we are on the right track and answer the questions.

It is like we have known each other for almost five years, and you know each more than five years. You might have bickering with each other along the years. And now, you have that kind of responsibility given by us. We believe that you can do it and that's why we agree on you.

Sincerity. Seriously a simple word, but how many of us can really understand its concept? Try to think about it. When is your last time doing things sincerely? Remember? Forgot? Ask yourself.

You know, most of us are not the mind reader. We do not know what you are thinking. But at least we can guess it. Your face expression, words, intonation and stress. We can read all that. We learn Linguistics! To care or not to care. Shakespeare himself could not make the decision. We meet people and we interpret. We talk and we analyse. Even a smile can create rumbles in your mind, right?

I have read some articles lately because I think I really need them. I need some readings. This brain of mine is too dry, literally saying. Too lack of meaningful motivation to bring me up. First thing first is to fully admit we really need help. We have friends everywhere. No man is an island. Tell them if we need help. Not to embarrass ourself for seeking some help, but to relieve and less our so-called burden. 

See some (countless) good things around us. Do wonder about it. Even the blue sky up there could give you a lesson. A wordless lesson as everything goes within yourself. Do say positive words and zero cursing words. Sorry, it is really unpleasant to hear. 

And, that is why life is not perfect. Embrace what we have and change for better future. People change, but life goes on. Cheers!

Challenge accepted

Try it for a day: go a day without going to Facebook or any of the other social sites you might traverse on a regular basis. Go a day without email or text messages. Disconnect, and just create, reflect, journal, sketch, brainstorm, walk, sit alone and meditate, read a book.

Let's try it for at least a day. :)

The Thinking Habit That Changed My Life - A Story

The Thinking Habit That Changed My Life

By Leo Babauta

I remember one evening, when my life was pretty different and I was overweight and deeply in debt and a smoker and had such a hard time changing things … I wasn’t feeling too good about my life.

I felt horrible about myself, and wondered why I was stuck. I felt hopeless and helpless, and generally depressed about the state of things around me.

Then I looked up at the sky, and saw the stars set in a deep blue-black canvas. And I thought, what a miracle life is.

And I resolved to mentally list the things I had in my life that were good.

My list of good things was something like this:

• I had a wonderful wife
• I had 5 amazing children (now 6)
• I had loving parents and siblings and grandparents and aunts and uncles and cousins
• I wasn’t sick
• I had a job
• I had decent shelter and food
• My family was healthy
• I could see, and appreciate the beauty of the world around me
• I could taste delicious food
• I had great books to read

The list went on, but you get the idea. Even when things seemed horrible for me, actually I was OK. And more than that, I had some amazing blessings in my life.

That night I resolved to count my blessings more often. I resolved to be grateful for what I had, for the people in my life.

I started the habit of gratitude.

Now, this seems like a trivial and maybe trite and hokey thing to many people. I’m here to tell you that it’s not trivial, and as trite/hokey as it may seem, it changes lives.

Here’s what happened to me, as I changed my thinking from one of negativity, to one of gratitude:

1. I appreciated my wife Eva more, and told her so, and felt good about having her in my life, and we deepened our relationship.
2. I also appreciated my kids more, and instead of getting mad at them so much, I would notice their lovingness, their curiosity, their humor and playfulness.
3. I appreciated my other loved ones more, and while I don’t always tell them how grateful I am for them, I do think it a lot, and do tell them much more often now.
4. I was kinder to others around me, at work and everywhere else, because instead of seeing the faults in everyone, I saw the good, and was grateful for them.
5. I needed less, because instead of thinking about what I don’t have, I was grateful for what I did have.
6. Little things bothered me less, because instead of complaining about every little thing, I would find things to be thankful for.
7. I appreciated nature all around me, smaller things that I might have missed before, beauty in everything.
8. Habit change became easier, because instead of focusing on how hard the change was, I found the joy in the changes, and joy in seeing myself overcome challenges.
9. Each and every moment became cause for gratitude, and living in the present became easier.

The list goes on and on, but each of these things is incredibly powerful. Not trite. Not hokey. Pure wonder.

So how do you pick up this habit? It’s interesting, because so much of our lives is spent in unconscious mental habits. Without knowing it, we complain, we nitpick, we stress about little faults, we see the bad in people and situations. Changing that doesn’t happen immediately.

But. You can change a little at a time. Start with a small gratitude session, and really be thankful. Really feel the happiness that something or someone is in your life.

Take a moment to make a list, right now, of the things in your life you’re thankful for. You just might be looking back on this moment years later, as the moment your entire life changed.

Bring me the night

Bring Me The Night - Sam Tsui & Kina Grannis

(5 stars - too good to be listened to)

Measuring days in the spaces between our goodbyes

Learning to wait through the endless parade

Of our same old see-you-next-time's

But when I close my eyes, the miles melt away

Like you're here in my arms at the end of the day

So bring me the night, send out the stars

Cause when I'm dreaming we don't seem so far

Darken the sky, and light up the moon

So that somehow you'll be here with me soon

Bring me the night

Bring me the night

That brings me to you

You

Swear I don't know if the days are as slow as they seem

Wondering when you'll be with me again and this

Finally can be more than just a dream

But when I close my eyes, I want only to stay

Where the farthest you are is a heartbeat away

So bring me the night, send out the stars

Cause when I'm dreaming we don't seem so far

Darken the sky, and light up the moon

So that somehow you'll be here with me soon

Bring me the night

Bring me the night

That brings me to you

And it's enough, knowing you are calling to me

While we're dreaming beneath the same moon

All it takes is imagining you so that I can get through

One more long and lonely day

So bring the night, tell me it's near

Give me the chance to pretend to you're here

Darken the sky and light up the moon,

Please bring it soon (bring it soon)

So bring me the night, send out the stars

Cause when I'm dreaming we don't seem so far

Darken the sky, and light up the moon

So that somehow you'll be here with me soon

Bring me the night,

Bring me the night,

Bring me the night,

Bring me the night

That brings me to you

17 Ramadhan

Assalamualaikum :)

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...

Alhamdulillah, setinggi tinggi kesyukuran ke hadrat Ilahi kerana kita masih lagi diberi kesempatan untuk bernafas di bulan yang mulia ini. Sungguh, ini adalah tanda barakah dari yang Maha Mengasihi lagi Maha Pengampun kerana Dia masih memberi peluang buat kita semua berusaha memperbaiki kelemahan seterusnya menggandakan amalan sebagai bekalan di akhirat kelak.

Menyusuri pertengahan Ramadhan sering dikaitkan dengan peristiwa Nuzul Quran pada hari ke-17, iaitu penurunan Al-Quran ke muka bumi. Allah swt memuliakan bulan ini dengan memilih satu malam penuh keberkatan sebagai masa paling sesuai untuk diturunkan kitab suci Al-Quran.

Firman Allah bermaksud,

“Ramadan, bulan yang dalamnya diturunkan al-Quran sebagai petunjuk bagi umat manusia dan penjelasan mengenai petunjuk itu dan pembeza (antara yang hak dan batil).”

(Al-Baqarah:185)

Berdasarkan ayat di atas jelas membuktikan bahawa Al-Quran buat pertama kalinya diturunkan kepada Nabi Muhammad SAW pada bulan Ramadhan.

Dicatatkan Al-Quran buat pertama kalinya diturunkan kepada Nabi Muhammad SAW melalui Jibri A.S. sewaktu baginda menyendiri di Gua Hira’.

Peringkat penurunan Al-Quran

Mukjizat teragung.

Pendapat ulama’ mengatakan ia diturunkan melalui 3 peringkat iaitu :

(i) Dari Allah SWT ke Luh Mahfuz

Penurunan ini berlaku sekaligus dengan bertujuan membuktikan kekuasaan Allah swt, disandarkan kepada firman Allah yang bermaksud:

“(Sebenarnya apa yang engkau sampaikan kepada mereka bukanlah syair atau sihir), bahkan ialah Al-Quran yang tertinggi kemuliaannya; (lagi terpelihara dengan sebaik-baiknya) di Luh Mahfuz”  

(Al-Buruj:21-22)

(ii) Luh Mahfuz ke Baitul Izzah

Penurunan kali kedua secara sekaligus dari Luh Mahfuz (langit ketujuh) ke Baitul Izzah (langit dunia) dipercayai berlaku berdasarkan firman Allah swt yang bermaksud:

“Sesungguhnya kami telah menurunkan Al-Quran itu pada malam yang berkat; (Kami berbuat demikian) kerana sesungguhnya Kami sentiasa memberi peringatan dan amaran (jangan hamba-hamba Kami ditimpa azab)”   

(Ad-Dukhan : 3)

(iii) Baitul Izzah kepada Nabi Muhammad SAW

Penurunan di peringkat ini telah berlaku secara beransur-ansur. Al-Quran mula diturunkan kepada Rasulullah s.a.w. sejak baginda dilantik menjadi Rasul sehingga baginda hampir wafat, iaitu dalam tempoh 23 tahun. 13 tahun di Makkah dan 10 tahun di Madinah.

“Al-Quran ini kami turunkan secara beransur-ansur supaya engkau bacakan kepada manusia secara perlahan-lahan dan kami turunkannya sedikit-sedikit.”

(Al-Israa’ : 106)

Hikmah diturunkan Al-Quran

Setiap yang berlaku di muka bumi ini pasti punya hikmah disebaliknya. Begitu juga dengan peristiwa Nuzul Al-Quran, bagi mereka yang benar-benar menghayati dan memahami ibrah kejadiannya pasti menemukan kelebihan yang tidak terhingga. Perubahan besar yang dibawa Nabi Muhammad saw berpandukan Al-Quran telah meliputi segenap aspek kehidupan masyarakat, iaitu:

(a) Aspek keagamaan

Sinar petunjuk Al-Quran telah berjaya merubah kegelapan kehidupan jahiliyyah bangsa Arab yang menyembah patung berhala kepada keimanan terhadap yang Maha Esa serta kepercayaan kepada rukun iman dan rukun Islam.

(b) Aspek kemasyarakatan

Kehidupan jahiliyyah mencatatkan banyak kerosakan dilakukan ke atas muka bumi di mana berlakunya pembunuhan kanak-kanak perempuan, wanita diletakkan pada martabat yang rendah, berlaku penyelewengan yang teruk dalam urusan jual beli dan lain-lain lagi. Segalanya berpunca dengan ketiadaan panduan hidup yang jelas untuk dihayati. Sejarah membuktikan segala kezaliman berjaya dibersihkan dengan turunnya seruan Allah melalui Al-Quran. Al-Quran memberi garis pemisah antara akhlak terpuji dengan akhlak tercela kepada masyarakat. Masyarakat diajar garis panduan untuk menjaga perhubungan dengan Allah swt, sesama manusia, malah terhadap alam semesta.

(c) Aspek siasah(politik)

Kesatuan ummah berjaya dibentuk dengan turunnya Al-Quran. Sifat suka berpuak-puak dan bermusuhan sering menghantui masyarakat jahiliyyah ketika itu. Keadaan itu berubah apabila turunnya al-Quran membawa ajaran sebenar. Semua umat manusia diseru supaya meninggalkan segala bentuk ikatan jahiliah yang sempit, sebaliknya disaran supaya bersatu membentuk satu ummah tanpa mengira bangsa dan warna kulit.

(d) Aspek ekonomi

Peraturan dan undang-undang yang terdapat dalam Al-Quran memberikan petunjuk pelaksanaan yang adil serta menepati fitrah manusia yang sukakan keadilan..

Jelas disini kita dapat menyaksikan betapa Al-Quran itu adalah mukjizat yang sangat hebat dikurniakan Allah kepada Nabi Muhammad saw untuk disebarkan kepada seluruh umat manusia. Ajarannya memberikan 1001 cahaya buat jiwa insan yang fitrahnya memerlukan bimbingan dan panduan. Al-Quran juga telah merubah kegelapan kepada cahaya terang buat pedoman manusia seluruh alam.

Itulah dia sejarah dan sedikit info tentang Nuzul Quran, sekarang mari kita selusuri pula kisah dalam Perang Badar yang telah berjaya membuktikan umat Islam mampu dan berjaya menegakkan Islam dikala berpuasa disiang hari.

Peristiwa Perang Badar

Peta pergerakan tentera ketika Perang Badar

Keistimewaan 17 Ramadhan tidak terhad kepada perisitwa Nuzul Quran semata, kerna disebalik tarikh itu terdapat 1 lagi peristiwa besar dalam sejarah umat Islam berlaku iaitu Perang Badar.

Terjadinya perang ini pada 17 Ramadhan tahun ke-2 Hijrah di saat umat Islam buat pertama kalinya diperintahkan berpuasa. Menyelami episod perang Badar memberikan pengajaran yang besar buat insan yang berfikir.

Menyingkap kembali bagaimana Allah swt memuliakan perang ini dengan menamakan ia sebagai Yaum Al Furqan (Hari Pembedaan) kerana pada waktu itu, Allah hendak membedakan antara yang haq dengan yang batil. Di saat itulah Allah mengangkat darjat kebenaran dengan jumlah kekuatan yang sedikit dan merendahkan kebatilan meskipun jumlah kekuatannya 3 kali ganda. Allah menurunkan pertolongan yang besar bagi kaum muslimin dan memenangkan mereka di atas musuh-musuh Islam.

Ibrah Perang Badar

a. Allah swt mahu berlakunya peperangan

Peristiwa disebalik peperangan Badar tercetus apabila Rasulullah saw mendapat berita melalui Jibril a.s tentang rombongan perdagangan Quraisy diketuai Abu Sufyan pulang dari Syam menuju ke Mekah. Lalu baginda mengumumkan pada kaum Muslimin Madinah akan misi merampas barang dagangan mereka. Malangnya berita tersebut diketahui Abu Sufyan lantas meminta pertolongan dari tentera musyrikin Mekah. Tentera Muslimin yang asalnya hanya datang untuk menahan misi dagangan (bukan untuk berperang) akhirnya telah ditentukan Allah untuk bertemu tentera Musyrikin Mekah. Meski bilangan musyrikin adalah 3 kali ganda bilangan tentera muslimin, namun ia kelihatan kecil di mata mereka. Lantas peperangan terjadi sebagaimana dikehendaki Allah swt.

Ibrah : Manusia hanya mampu merancang, namun perancangan Allah mengatasi segala. Dan Allah adalah sebaik-baik perancang.

b. Kesetiaan yang tiada tandingan

Berita pertembungan yang akan berlaku dengan tentera musyrikin Mekah yang ramai telah membuatkan baginda saw khuatir adanya segelintir sahabat yang berasa berat hati untuk bersama pasukan. Lantas baginda mengadakan mesyuarat meminta pandangan para sahabat. Puak Muhajirin diwakili Abu Bakar As-Siddiq r.a dan Umar Al-Khattab r.a memberikan sokongan untuk meneruskan perjuangan. Kemudian wakil pihak Ansar iaitu Saad r.a turut memberi sokongan tidak berbelah bagi terhadap baginda dan perjuangan Islam.

Ibrah : meski bakal berhadapan dengan bahaya yang besar, para sahabat sedikit pun tidak berganjak dari menumpahkan kesetiaan kepada Allah dan Rasul-Nya.

c. Kegembiraan yang Berganda

Kemenangan tentera Islam ke atas musyrikin Mekah dalam perang Badar menambahkan lagi kegembiraan umat Islam yang menyambut kehadiran Aidilfitri, iaitu hari kemenangan setelah sebulan berpuasa.

d. Memahami kekuatan musuh

Sebelum pertempuran, tentera Islam berjaya menculik tukang masak yang menyediakan makanan untuk tentera musyrikin, dan ditanya jenis dan jumlah ternakan yang disembelih setiap kali menyediakan makanan. Jumlah unta disembelih setiap hari berjumlah 9 atau 10 ekor memberi gambaran jumlah tentera musuh lebih kurang 1000 orang.

e. Bantuan Allah buat pejuang Islam

Di antara bantuan yang diturunkan Allah swt adalah ketenangan kepada tentera muslimin sehingga mereka dapat tidur lena malam sebelum pertempuran. Sewaktu pertempuran tercetus, telah turun bala tentera dari kalangan malaikat meniupkan semangat juang tentera Muslim.

Hal ini menepati firman Allah yang bermaksud :

“Wahai orang-orang yang beriman! Jika kamu menolong agama Allah, nescaya Dia akan menolongmu dan mengukuhkan kedudukanmu” 

(47:7)

Ibrah : Sehingga zaman ini, bilangan mereka yang sanggup memperjuangkan agama adalah sedikit jika dibandingkan mereka yang menentang. Namun pertolongan Allah sentiasa bersama orang yang diredhai-Nya. Maka, sentiasalah mohon kekuatan untuk kekal di jalan Allah. Beruntunglah bagi mereka yang tergolong dalam golongan yang sedikit.

Kesimpulan

Bersempena dengan bulan Ramadhan yang mulia ini, dimana syaitan dirantai dan tidak bisa menggoda anak Adam ke arah kejahatan, apakah amalan dan tindakan kita menjadi lebih baik? Apakah Al-Quran yang mungkin dahulunya jarang-jarang kita buka kini seakan rakan baik yang dibaca setiap hari.

Adakah kita berusaha sedaya upaya mendalami sirah Rasulullah untuk dijadikan iktibar kehidupan, dan melaksanakan sunnahnya sebagai rutin seharian?

Atau segalanya sama sahaja tiada beza waima bulan Ramadhan mahupun di bulan-bulan lain?

Sama-sama kita muhasabah diri. Koreksi diri, seperti saranan ilmuwan kini, “korek” and “see” diri masing-masing. Andai segalanya menjadi lebih baik, alhamdulillah. Namun andai segala sama sahaja, malah mungkin lebih teruk maka beristighfarlah mohon keampunan dari Allah. Bimbang-bimbang hati kita telah rosak. Mohonlah pada Allah dibersihkan hati ini selagi ruh tidak sampai ke halkum.

Sesungguhnya Allah itu Maha Menerima Taubat, seandainya manusia itu benar-benar mengimani.

Selamat menghayati peristiwa Nuzul al-Quran dan Perang Badar untu renungan bersama.

Wallahua’lam bissowab.

Assalamualaikum wbt :)

Alhamdulillah, we have gone through our third week for this semester. Overall, it was a hectic week. We don't get our assignments yet, but we had to attend some needs for course pro formas.

For example, I'm going to have a 'big' project for PSK3104 (Pembelajaran Berkhidmat Pendidikan Sivik dan Kewarganegaraan), which is likely to be carried out right after this practicum. Most probably on 24th and 25th September 2013. Eventhough it is more or less two months from now, we have to start our paperwork right away. 

Doing a paperwork is not really a big problem since we just have to put on some details about our own project. The main problem is when we have to satisfy everyone's need. Whose needs? Lecturer. Yes, our lecturer. You got it right. Too many rejections on our ideas, yet she couldn't suggest a better one. It is like we keep 'backspacing' our paperwork and then re-typing the same thing all over again. Penat, tahu tak?

Then, when it came for today (Friday), we got another not-so-good news on changing our WAJ assignment. As we are on Semester 6 now, we should have 'Persatuan/Kelab', and Point 1 has decided from our very first week on having Expedition Club (Kelab Kembara). So, we discussed (seriously a very long discussion among us) and came out with idea for going to Langkawi as our class trip (kind of la). Tup tup, cancelled! No trip, no educational outing. Sedih rasa. Hari Kokurikulum. Our new assignment. Terbaik. Daebak! Congrats for those yang berjawatan. Let's work together. Taktau nak cakap apa dah. -.- Allah!

Don't you think this would be the best solution?

Be positive.

Positive.

Positive.

Positive.

Positive.

Ramadhan is around the corner

Assalamualaikum wbt :)

Alhamdulillah, hari ini pun dah masuk 24 Syaaban 1434 Hijrah. Tak lama dah rupanya nak ke bulan Ramadhan pulak.  Alhamdulillah yang mana perlu diganti dah terganti. Kiranya sekarang ni kena buat warming up pulak as persediaan puasa nanti. So, takdelah tiba-tiba rasa mengejut kan. Biar dapat aura puasa tu dulu.

1 Ramadhan, dijangkakan seminggu dari hari ni (7 hari lagi wehh). Kat IPBA pun dah terasa aura-aura Ramadhan ni. Bila bukak Facebook, Twitter, Blog semua pun dah mula bercakap tentang Ramadhan. Now, Ramadhan is everywhere :)

Semoga Allah memberi kekuatan kepada kita untuk menghadapi bulan puasa nanti since Cohort 1 akan berpraktikum di sekolah pilihan masing-masing. Lebih hebatlah cabaran dia nanti ek. InsyaAllah, pensyarah pembimbing akan dimaklumkan tidak lama lagi. Unit praktikum masih menunggu senarai pensyarah daripada JBI. Semoga dapat pensyarah yang humane sikit eh. Amiin.

اللَّهُمَّ بَلِّغْنا رَمَضَانَ وَأَعِنَّا عَلَى صِيَامِهِ وَقِيَامِهِ عَلَى الوَجْهِ الّذِي يُرْضِيكَ عَنّاَ

"Sampaikan kami ke gerbang Ramadhan, bantulah kami untuk berpuasa dan berqiam sepertimana yang Engkau redhai dan Engkau kami laksanakannya."

Pernah jugak dulu

Assalamualaikum wbt :)

Tiba-tiba teringat pulak semasa satu ketika dahulu. Baru tahu tentang satu lagu tu. Aku Suka Dia namanya. Ainan Tasneem yang nyanyi. First time kot dengar nama artis ni masa tu. Tapi aku iyakan je sebab fikir balik rumah nanti boleh Google siapa dia. Dah balik tu, siap download. Lepas tu asyik duk replay je lagu ni sampaikan ayah kata, "Oloh lagu, lembik nye lah. Slow sangat. Tak sedap eh lagu gini." Ok, takpelah ayah. Fine. hahahaha

Kebetulan masa ni tengah beraya sakan. Raya tahun lepas eh, 2012 eh? Ye kot.. Yang tiba-tiba nak seronok dengar lagu ni yang tak faham tu. hahahaha. Ok, abaikan.

Lagi prefer lyric video ni compared dengan music video. Macam takleh make sense sikit video dia. hahaha

By the way, itu cerita hampir setahun lepas. Sekarang dah banyak sikit lagu dia. Tapi apa-apa pun, yang ni je yang paling baik. Sebab tu orang kata first je yang akan meletup kan, kan?

Doakanlah dia

“Kalau ada seseorang yang kau cintai, suruh kau lupakan dia, kau buat apa?”

“Doa.”

“Doa supaya dia buka hati untuk kau?”

“Tak.”

“Dah tu?”

“Aku akan doa ; Ya Allah temukanlah dia dengan seseorang yang baik akhlak, iman dan taqwanya. Aku mahu dia gembira, Ya Allah walaupun bukan kerana aku. Aku mahu dia dicintai dengan selayaknya tidak seperti mana aku mencintainya, dan aku mahu dia ditemukan dengan seseorang yang melihat dirinya bukan dengan pandangan nafsu manusia dan syaitan, tetapi pandangan dari-Mu, ya Allah.”

[be the light, eventhough your own heart is not bright enough]

Kalau betul kita sayang pada seseorang, pray for his/her happiness. Doakan dia cepat-cepat kahwin. Bukan doakan yang tak baik seperti minta putus atau apa. Tak elok ketawa atas kesedihan orang lain, kan? :)

Jerebu lagi

Assalamualaikum :)

Jerebu datang lagi.

Satu lagi bentuk ujian Allah kepada hamba-hambaNya.

Astaghfirullahal'azim.

Jerebu kali ni bukan yang pertama kali dah.

Setakat yang ingat dan direkodkan, mungkin yang ketiga atau keempat sepanjang bermastautin kat sini

Yang sebelum ni, jerebu tahun lepas teruk jugak, tapi takde sampai kena ambil cuti sehari.

Rasanya takde cuti jerebu kot tahun lepas walaupun dua kali dilanda jerebu which were bulan June and August.

Semuanya dipuncakan dari pembakaran terbuka dari Sumatera, dan kebetulan tengah musim monsoon barat daya. Memang angin bergerak dari Sumatera menghala ke Pantai Barat Semenanjung (terasa macam pembaca ramalan cuaca pulak dah).

Diharapnya jerebu ni cepat hilang. :)

Nota-tak-berapa-nak-kaki : Angin monsoon barat daya berasal Australia ke Sumatera ke Filipina. Ini kerana tekanan udara di benua Australia lebih tinggi (berdasarkan apa yg dipelajari masa Geografi PMR dulu). Biasanya berlaku sepanjang bulan 3-7..

Kalau monsoon timur laut pula, sama juga prinsip macam monsoon barat daya. Cumanya, angin datang dari negara China terus ke Malaysia (Semenanjung & Sabah Sarawak) dan beralih arah ke Australia. Ingat, Malaysia kan berada di garisan Khatulistiwa :)

Happy watering!

Assalamualaikum ;)

Just a quick update:

There is only one week left before I leave for Kuala Lumpur.

So, I have decided to water the plants including flowering and non-flowering plants in our home garden every evening.
Then, I'll be replacing my ayah's duty. hehehe

It just sounds nice since I cannot do that in IPBA, for sure.

Harapnya pokok-pokok bunga ni tak mati kekurangan air.

p/s : kena baiki paip yang pecah dulu, so that air tak slow sangat.

Israk dan Mikraj

Something like a mirror?

I love this song and the way he was performing in this video.

;)

[Verse 1]

Aren't you somethin' to admire, cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror

And I can't help but notice, you reflect in this heart of mine

If you ever feel alone and the glare makes me hard to find

Just know that I'm always parallell on the other side

[Pre-Hook]

Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul

I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go

Just put your hand on the glass, I'll be tryin' to pull you through

You just gotta be strong

[Hook]

Cause I don't wanna lose you now

I'm lookin' right at the other half of me

The vacancy that sat in my heart

Is a space that now you hold

Show me how to fight for now

And I'll tell you baby, it was easy

Comin' back into you once I figured it out

You were right here all along

It's like you're my mirror

My mirror staring back at me

I couldn't get any bigger

With anyone else beside of me

And now it's clear as this promise

That we're making two reflections into one

Cause it's like you're my mirror

My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me

[Verse 2]

Aren't you somethin', an original, cause it doesn't seem merely assembled

And I can't help but stare cause I see truth somewhere in your eyes

I can't ever change without you, you reflect me, I love that about you

And if I could, I would look at us all the time

[Pre-Hook]

Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul

I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go

Just put your hand on the glass, I'll be tryin' to pull you through

You just gotta be strong

[Hook]

Cause I don't wanna lose you now

I'm lookin' right at the other half of me

The vacancy that sat in my heart

Is a space that now you hold

Show me how to fight for now

And I'll tell you baby, it was easy

Comin' back into you once I figured it out

You were right here all along

It's like you're my mirror

My mirror staring back at me

I couldn't get any bigger

With anyone else beside of me

And now it's clear as this promise

That we're making two reflections into one

Cause it's like you're my mirror

My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me

[Bridge]

Yesterday is history

Tomorrow's a mystery

I can see you lookin' back at me

Keep your eyes on me

Baby, keep your eyes on me

[Hook]

Cause I don't wanna lose you now

I'm lookin' right at the other half of me

The vacancy that sat in my heart

Is a space that now you hold

Show me how to fight for now

And I'll tell you baby, it was easy

Comin' back into you once I figured it out

You were right here all along

It's like you're my mirror

My mirror staring back at me

I couldn't get any bigger

With anyone else beside of me

And now it's clear as this promise

That we're making two reflections into one

Cause it's like you're my mirror

My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me

[Hook 2] x10

You are you are the love of my life

[Verse 3]

Baby you're the inspiration for this precious song

And I just wanna see your face light up since you put me on

So now I say goodbye to the old me, it's already gone

And I can't wait wait wait wait wait to get you home

Just to let you know, you are

[Hook 2] x8

You are you are the love of my life

[Verse 4]

Girl you're my reflection, all I see is you

My reflection, in everything I do

You're my reflection and all I see is you

My reflection, in everything I do

[Hook 2] x16

You are you are the love of my life

Menu pertama yang Tok buat ialah ketupat sotong. Terpaksa order dengan ayah suruh tolong belikan sotong 1 kg. Tapi tup tup, 2 kg ayah bawak balik. hehe.. Makanya, mak pun proceed nak buat patpit dengan ketupat sotong. (^^)V

Ketupat sotong

Ketupat sotong yang Tok buat ni manis sikit berbanding yang mak buat. Orang sana biasanya makan manis. So, kita ikut resepi orang sana kan. hehehe. Tapi mampu telan 2 sotong je sebab manis sangat!

Sejak-sejak Tok ada ni, bila kat dapur je, dah terasa macam kena inspect dengan mak mertua. hehehe

Takpe, insyaAllah 2014 kami akan ke sana!(kalau diikutkan 5-year interval dengan previous one) Rindu mereka di sana. :'(

Nekad sangat!

Assalamualaikum wbt :)

Cuti sekolah dah bermula dah. So, kita pun nak cuti jugak. Tapi kita special sikit, sikit je pun.. Dapat cuti tiga minggu. hehehe

Sementara cuti ni, rancangannya memang hebat-hebat belaka. 

Tapi yang jadinya belum tentu semua kan.. Mungkin disebabkan beberapa faktor utama.. hehehe

Untuk minggu pertama ni, kita cuba cari satu hobi (actually nak habiskan masa) yang tak perlukan kita menghadap laptop ni, sama macam kat IPBA. 

First thing first, kena kemaskini book shelves. Setiap kali balik cuti, benda ni wajib buat sebab tak suka tengok buku-buku berselerakan kat ruang yang tak betul.

Contohnya, buku latihan SPM adik ada kat area buku rujukan. Novel pulak kata area files.

Rasa macam tak kena je, gatal mata tengok.

Last-last, siapa lagi nak kemaskan. Diri sendiri la jugak yang kena.

Lepas tu, jumpa buku-buku yang selalu kita borong sama ada kat Book Xcess, MPH atau Big Bad Wolf baru-baru ni.. Rugi sangat rasanya kalau tak dapat pergi Big Bad Wolf tu. Walaupun BBW tu kat the Mines, ku sanggup meredah Kerinchi, naik train sorang-sorang sampai sana. Tapu nanti mestilah sekali dengan Thah and Tha :) hehehe

Disebabkan kita ni terlampau rajin beli buku, tapi tak pernah habis baca, jadi kali ni dah nekad mesti baca jugak. At least setiap hari sebelum tidur baca! Kalau tak, sampai bila-bila pun takkan habis buku/novel yang dah terbeli ni. Jangan pernah terasa rugi apabila duit-duit dibelanjakan untuk beli buku, okay?

So, inilah novel pertama musim cuti sekolah ni! =)

Plum Spooky by Janet Evanovich

Ini novel yang paling latest dibeli kat BBW. Mengandungi 25 chapters yang mana kita pun baru sampai chapter 5. hahaha.. Bila nak habis tu? Wallahua'lam. ;)

p/s: petang ni dating kat taman belakang rumah dengan mak dan pokok-pokok bunga. Banyak pasu yang nak kena alih katanya.

Yes, I do.

Too creative

Assalamualaikum wbt ;)
