2009 curtain call

Setelah penat bertungkus lumus di pentas 2009 sebagai watak seorang pelajar Tingkatan 4, it's time for the curtain call! Err.. not exactly the kind of curtain call I had in mind, but it will do.

As much as I hate to say it, omedetou gozaimasu Kamil otoutou-chan~ Dapat jugak straight A's yang diharapkan sekian lama. Félicitation! (cis, dia dapat A lebih dari aku!) Tapi takpe, aku pun dapat manfaatnya sebab 2 hari lepas tu ayah took us for a vacation at A'Famosa Resort! Nothing much to be excited though, it's the 'staying in the hotel' part that excites me. Teehee~

Ketibaan kitorang kat condotel disambut oleh sang pelangi.. Subhanallah..

Even with the various attractions; Water World, Cowboy Town, go-cart, paintball, ayah didn't find the ticket price 'attractive'. Malam tu, lepas check in, kitorang pergi Umbai. Honestly, my first time. 

 

Gambar blur la pulak. Tak kisah, nak upload jugak. =p

Esoknya, the boys went to Water World. Aku dan ummi lepak kat hotel. No annoying brothers, just me and the comfy bed. =p That night, I insisted to have a look at Cowboy Town. The twinkling lights and colourful spotlight somehow drawing me to go check it out. Tapi, tiket dia, whoah! Terus tak jadi masuk. Dapat tinjau-tinjau dari luar je la. Snapped a few pics too.

 

 

Time to go home. Sebelum tu, Kamil nak main go-kart, tapi tak lepas had umur. Haha. 16+ only babyy. I would have gone go-carting, but what the heck. I don't even know how to ride one. So, balik la apa lagi..

Tak bersedia lagi untuk watak pelajar Tingkatan 5 kat pentas 2010 nanti. Pementasan teater SPM tinggal 11 bulan. Semuanya bergantung pada rehearsal di bawah naungan MRSM TGB Productions. Ganbarimashou minna~ Bonne chance tout le monde!

Tahun baru~

Selamat Tahun Baru~!

Happy New Year~!

Bonne Année~!

あけましておめでとうございます~! Akemashite omedetou gozaimasu~!

p/s: sori, gambar saja yang mampu. I'm down with the fever lah!

       anyway, selamat menambah baik ibadah~ =) *coughcough 

Why can't I touch the sky?

A story that I wanna share with you guys about the thoughts of life, childhood and adulthood.

Taken from PRS's bulletin, Masterpiece, issue of November 2009.

My six-year-old daughter Sophie and I were playing a rhyming game the other day and out of the blue she asked me, "Why can't I touch the sky?" I laughed inside and thought for a few moments. I tried to explain it from the Jack and the Beanstalk story, but she just looked at me funny. Then I tried the old earth space thing, but that was too technical. The more I tried, the clumsier it got when finally I realised I wasn't getting through.


Then I had a realisation. What if my daughter had asked the same question to another six-year-old? Some six-year-olds think they know the answer to everything and it's fun to listen to what they have to say. Something tells me her friend wouldn't have the slightest difficulty in explaining the answer. I wished I could have turned the question over to an imaginary friend and then sit back and listen to the conversation.


That night, while lying in bed, I kept thinking about her question and why I couldn't come up with a really cool answer. Was it because I had "grown up" and now used my imagination like an "adult"? As I grew, the maturation process obviously had boxed me in. And worse yet... I knew that someday, my little girl just might lose her pure and trusting imagination to adulthood and maybe stop asking this wonderfully creative questions.


I didn't feel like it was right that I progressed up the ladder of maturity only to lose what I feel is a very important concept: the ability to retain and possess a childlike quality to explore other possibilities. Where did my childlike imagination go? Why did it go? I thought I would ask Sophie this question to help me understand why some adults tend to lose sight of this magical way of thinking and why others make a living by it.


She looked at me with a puzzle on her face and then I knew. It never occurs to her that there's any other way. Why on earth would a six-year-old little girl dream she couldn't touch the sky unless somebody told her she couldn't?


I watch my little girl as she plays. She conducts an imaginary reading class and makes sure each doll pronounces the words correctly. She dresses her babies and gets them ready for their day. Her imagination takes wing each and every day to places I'm not aware. Sometimes I can catch a glimpse of her inner world when we sit and talk about her day or what her plans are for tomorrow.


Remember when we were younger, when we used to talk about and imagine what we would become when we grew up? I wanted to be a policeman and my friends wanted to be a fireman and race car drivers. We believed anything was possible and we could become whatever he wanted, never doubting the possibilities. As children, we dreamed big.


Children are visionaries, and it seems a little sad to think our childlike imagination seems to dissapear as we grew older. As we age, the ever-increasing intrusions of the world on our minds seem to frighten that childlike imagination inti full blown retreat.


As we grew up, we learned why the sky really is blue, and why the grass is green. Why flowers need sunlight and how birds fly. We lose a little bit of the wonder of life around us as we schedule the next meeting or plan tomorrow's agenda.


I have my daughter to thank for asking the question. It connected me, once again, with my priorities. She made me think about my own potentiality and how I may be limiting myself. Maybe I need to reconnect with my childlike imagination and think more outside the box of adult creativity. If I do that, maybe I can explain in my own six-year-old way, why she can... touch the sky.

Last days of juniorhood!

SENIOR! Hmm... tak sangka ye, dah tua dah aku ni. Tua-tua pun awet muda gak. Hehe...he..(bunyi cengkerik) Dah la, mengarut je. Tahun depan semuanya berubah. Takde lagi panggil 'akak' kat sekolah. Orang pulak panggil aku 'akak'. Orang lain pulak yang cium tangan aku masa salam. Bile orang tanya tingkatan berapa, aku jawab 'Form 5 dah, makcik.'. Makcik tu pulak cakap 'Dah beso dah anak daghe nih. Boleh la makcik masuk meminang'. Nasib baik anak makcik tu hensem... =p (tengok, dah pandai menggatal)

Yelah makcik, anak kepada Mustafah b. Md Nor dan T. Falehatun Nahar ni dah boleh kahwin, dah besar panjang. Tak boleh jadi ni, kena belajar masak! Macam mana nak bagi makan laki nanti? Malu la dengan kawan-kawan yang pandai masak tuu... Tu la yang mak aku cakap saban hari. Sori la umi, anak umi yang sorang ni sangatla malas nak pergi dapur. Hehe...

Colourful year of Eid~

Phew! It's been a while since I updated this blog, huh? Hey, don't blame me, it can be worse you know. If the Principal doesn't allow the students to go home during Deepavali, I won't be able to post anything until the end-of-year break. So, read it or leave it! =p

The first time I celebrated Eid at hostel. The atmosphere was totally different. 3 words to describe it; colourful, jolly and agony. Yes, agony. Some 'clever' students had spilled oil onto the flame. Their very 'thoughtful' actions had cost us Fourth Formers 5 days of night roll-call. Thank you for giving us the best yet worst Eid. *smiles and clenches fist*
Grr...Ok, moving on...

I'm just gonna show pics because I'm very understanding about reading posts that are too long.
Pictures speak louder than words, no? =)

Of Ramadan and National Day

Selamat Menyambut Ramadan al-Mubarak

Let us hunt the blessing night!

Insha'Allah...

Am I really...?

Last Friday, the Fifth Formers had their mock interview. All the teachers were involved so no classes for the Fourth Formers. Yayy! The BWPs in collaboration with the History club had arranged a few games; Historical Race, Poster-making Competition and Build It.

While waiting for Build It to start, my classmates, Mira, Fadh, Fiqa, Alyani, Sue, Najibah and I played Truth or Dare. The game was getting interesting as we move on. Then, when it's Sue's turn, she was asked, "Apa sikap negatif yand ada kat kitorang?" She answered. But things got complicated when she started crying as she told us her answer.

We were like, "Whoa, chill Sue. Ni game je...nape sampai nangis2 ni?" Maybe she finally got to tell her feeling about our negative side that made her so sad.

Hmm... She said that I like to play with my words, more like acuh tak acuh la... She said that I didn't take of what she said seriously. Am I really? What do you think?

Letting it go...

After the UPSS, I really enjoyed myself. An absolutely do-nothing day for me. The next day, (Saturday) I went on a field trip to the Bon Odori Festival. A great way to celebrate the after-UPSS. But, the fun doesn't last long.

When we were on the way back to the college, Alyani, my friend who was also a BADAR Apprentice, called me. She said if I didn't show up at the interview, my name will be eliminated. My half-closed eyes went big. The call made a big impact on me; I can't go back sleep, busy worrying about the interview. I managed to show up, dragging my tiredness and sleepiness with me. And guess what? I did badly. My hands were cold and my voice trembled. It was 12.30 in the midnight for cryin' out loud!

About four things I was absolutely positive.

First, I didn't pass the interview.
Second, I lost my MP3.
Third, my homeroom didn't get to sell our toast very well during the PUM night market.
Fourth, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in DESPAIR...


Well, every cloud has its silver lining, right? So, I'm just letting it go and move on...
Maybe Allah has something better for me in the future.

*But not the MP3 ok...I'm still hoping that I can find it back. T^T

Influenza invasion

Untuk kesekian kalinya aku balik rumah sebab... MRSM TGB dihentikan operasi buat sementara waktu akibat wabak H1N1 (ala..mendalah yang orang panggil selesema babi tu...). Bukanla sebab dah ada kes, untuk langkah berjaga2 je sebab dah ramai yang tunjukkan simtom2 macam demam panas lebih 38 degree, batuk2, selesema dan sakit tekak.

Happy ke dapat balik rumah? Happy tu memang happy, tapi ada sorang kawan aku yang kena kuarantin kat maktab. Kesian dia, tak dapat balik. Harap2 dia tak apa2 la.. Sekarang ni 31 orang kena kuarantin dan 4 masuk wad. Tapi belum disahkan positif H1N1 la. Kalau positif, kitorang dapat cuti seminggu. Rasa gatal lak mulut ni nak doa biar cuti seminggu. Nasib baik ada hati perut lagi. =p

Okeh la, nak cite perkembangan aku sepanjang 6 minggu ni...

6 Jun

Anugerah Penghormatan Pengetua for the 3.5 pointers and above. Setiap tahun, majlis ni sangat membosankan sebab ramai sangat yang akan naik pentas terima sijil. Bragging much? Hehe... takde la, memang betul pun. Orang yang dapat pointer 3.5 pun dapat ranking 200 lebih dalam maktab. Untuk tahun ni, 200 lebih Form 4 and 100 lebih Form 5 yang akan terima sijil. Penat owh nak tunggu... =.="

Wajah2 yang tak sabar2 nak ambik sijil

Team choral speaking maktab.. Mengundang ketawa hadirin disebabkan pergerakan kepala yang melampau macam nak tercabut kepala.. =p

Kalau cam, ni la Wadi.. dia dapat 3.64 tau

Kenal tak mamat pakai spek tu? Dia dapat 3.50

Tapi, hari anugerah ni tak se'best' KGV sebab dia bagi sijil je. KGV siap bagi key chain limited edition lagi.. Nostalgia sungguh..

7-11 Jun

Majlis Pembubaran Badan Wakil Pelajar 08/09, Hari Manifesto, Hari Mengundi. 7 hb, BWP dibubarkan dan calon2 BWP 09/10 diperkenalkan. 8-10 hb, hari untuk calon2 tu memberikan manifesto masing2 supaya dapat meraih undi. 11 hb, hari untuk mengundi 'menteri2' seterusnya. Sangat2 tension sebab sepanjang minggu ni prep petang takde, so prep malam yang sepatutnya digunakan untuk study for the upcoming UPSS dah dihabiskan dengan menyiapkan homework.. Bila nak baca buku ni??

Ni la antara campaign button diorang. Yang muka monyet tu button classmate aku. Kenapa monyet? Wallahualam..

P/S: Presiden BWP yang baru ni muka dia sebijik cam Danial Radcliffe.. Tengok button dia yang pink tu, bentuk topi Harry Potter kan? =D

18 Jun

Lawatan Kelab Bahasa Jepun ke Festival Bon Odori kat Shah Alam. Right after UPSS kitorang pergi. Boleh la release tension. Yang ni malas nak cite, tengok gambar je la eh?

Cultural dance

Gerombolan budak blok F.. FYI, baju yang kitorang pakai ni baju blok F. Bangga wei.. =D

Besarnya belon?

Alala.. cutenya..

Alkisah 4 minggu lepas...

Sibuk sangat dengan homework-yang-banyak-macam-nak-cuti-sebulan, tugasan BADAR Apprentice dan persiapan untuk Nadwah Islamiah hari Ahad ni, terhasillah post kedua sepanjang cuti sekolah ni... =_="
Apa2 pun, ni la yang aku dah buat 4 minggu lepas hingga ke saat ini...

8 Mei

Sis2 EMC adakan lebih kurang macam slumber party kat Dewan Bendahara. Budak perempuan je ya... Macam2 aktiviti sis EMC buat. Main game 'The Island', perang bantal (ala...pillow fight), pertunjukan fesyen (pakai baju tidur je) dan adalah sikit selingan2 crossword puzzle and labelling the human heart. Nak jugak selitkan pasal study... Yelah, 2 minggu lagi nak periksa.
Kelas aku menang nombor 2 tau dalam fashion show. Tengoklah siapa pendandannya. =p

Pukul 12 tengah malam pulak tengok Final Destination. Saya yang sudah serik dengan pengalaman lepas terus tarik selimut, pejam mata dan berusaha untuk tidak mempedulikan sound system yang sangat kuat dan mengerikan. Dengan bantuan air cond yang sangat nyaman, saya berjaya mengembara di alam mimpi...

9 Mei

Penat lepas perang bantal semalam tak berhenti di situ saja. EMC nak buat Explorace pulak. Kitorang yang dah bersemangat nak belajar, merungut2 menukar baju sukan dan turun ke tapak rollcall. Sebelum tu, bro EMC bagi taklimat pasal race ni. Kitorang kena bergerak dalam kelas masing2 menuju ke checkpoint yang dah ditetapkan. Sampai kat satu checkpoint, kita kena teka code name sis2 atau bro2 EMC yang jaga checkpoint tu ikut list yang dia dah bagi. Kalau salah, kena pergi checkpoint lain. Kalau betul, barulah sis2 atau bro2 EMC tu akan bagi tugasan dan dia akan tandatangan list code name tadi. Tapi, kalau tak dapat buat tugasan dengan betul, penalti laa...

Sepanjang race ni, kelas aku kena 3 penalti. Salah satunya, minum air yang kami sangkakan air oren lalu diteguk sepuasnya. Bila air tu masuk tekak, masin ya amat! Bertambah-tambah dahaga kitorang. Lagi 1, kitorang kena tanggal kasut, pergi kat padang yang lecak, buat lompat bintang, sliding dan rolling atas lecak tu... A pretty wet situation. Tapi malangnya, kami tak sempat habiskan semua checkpoint. T^T

18 Mei-28 Mei

Peperiksaan Akhir Semester 1... Setelah bertungkus lumus menelaah buku sehingga pelajaran dianggap hypotonic dan hampir menyebabkan otak haemolysed, tibalah saat untuk meng'hypertonic'kan otak dengan menjawab soalan2 yang membunuh. Kertas terakhir, Sejarah memaksa kami memerah otak yang dah pun crenated sebelum negara MRSM diisytiharkan merdeka. Yeah... sweet freedom!

Petang tu pulak, sambutan Hari Guru. Agak best (sebenarnya dah lupa apa nak cite). Sesetengah budak laki Form 4 jadi penyambut tetamu sambil pegang lilin sebagai simbolik guru bagai lilin membakar diri (silap2 diri sendiri terbakar kalau tak pegang elok2). Lepas tu ada persembahan drama, nasyid dan piano solo. Ada jugak tayangan filem pendek Hari Guru.

11 Jun

Outing dengan Aisya Darinna Afza... Kali ni kitorang tak nak main boling, dah boring. Borak2 dan tengok wayang je. Night at the Museum 2 sangat lawak dan kami tergelak2 dalam panggung sampai otot2 mulut sakit akibat stretching yang melampau.

Dan kitorang jumpa Akmal, Izzudin, Najeeb dan beberapa lagi yang aku tak perasan. Bila aku dengan Izzati nak balik, si Akmal nak tangkap gambar aku. Sekadar memenuhi permintaan orang yang tak jumpa selalu, aku pun posing lah dengan Izzati. Kesian Zati, jadi mangsa pulak. =D

Hari ni, 12 Jun, pukul 2.56 petang

Menghabiskan perkataan terakhir dalam post ni...

END OF TRANSMISSION
This post will self-destruct in 10, 9, 8...
Hehe...kidding =p

Jewels of the world

Dalam satu riwayat diceritakan bahawa ada seorang pemuda yang tampan dan gagah, namanya Ibnu Hajar. Cuma di sebalik ketampanannya itu tersembunyi akhlak yang rosak. Pekerjaannya merompak dan menyamun. Kejahatannya sangat terkenal. Seluruh ibu2 rasa benci mendengarnya. Kaum lelaki juga meremang bulu roma dengan Ibnu Hajar.

Satu hari dia dah bosan dengan hidupnya yang dibenci orang. Dia nak berubah dan bertaubat. Maka pekerjaan kotornya dihentikan. Tiba masa mencari isteri sah untuk dinikahi. Tapi sebab kejahatannya, orang kampung tak mau pinangannya. Pelacur pun tak nak.
Dalam keadaan putus asa, dia pergi tempat orang jual hamba. Hajatnya disampaikan kepada tuan hamba. Orang tersebut menjawab: “Secara kebetulan ada sorang hamba yang tak laku2. Apakah saudara mau??”
Dengan rasa gembira dia angguk la macam nak patah tengkuk. Lalu dihantar ke bilik gadis tersebut. Dia terkejut melihat calon isterinya itu. Kulit hitam, hidung penyek, pendek. Tapi sebab nak juga isteri, diterima juga. Hidup la pasangan itu dengan bahagia. Namun isterinya meninggal dunia ketika melahirkan anak.

Ibnu Hajar bagai hilang arah tujuan.. Tika runsing.. nafsu jahat mula timbul.. tetapi..
Pada suatu malam dia bermimpi. Dalam mimpinya itu dia dikejar ular.. tapi datang seorang tua yg menghalau ular tersebut namun tak berdaya. Tiba2 datang seorang budak baling batu yang telah membunuh ular itu.
Esok pagi Ibnu Hajar tanya pasal mimpi tu kat seorang ulama. Ditafsirkan mimpi itu bahawa budak itu adalah kebaikan yang ingin dilakukan dan akan membesar. Surutlah nafsu jahat Ibnu Hajar.

Lalu, Ibnu Hajar menyara hidupnya dengan memancing ikan. Suatu hari perutnya lapar. Namun ikan masih tak diperoleh lagi. Tiba2 dia terlihat sebiji jambu yang hanyut. Lalu ditangkap jambu itu dan selamatlah jambu itu dalam perutnya. Setelah selesai makan badannya menjadi panas dan berubah mnjadi hitam. Timbul kesedaran dalam hatinya, 'Mungkin akibat makanan yang haram tadi. Aku harus minta izin pada tuan jambu ni.'
Berangkatlah dia menyusuri sungai mencari tuan punya jambu. Terlihat satu ladang jambu dan bertemulah dia dengan pemilik jambu itu. Pemilik jambu itu sedang marah kerana jambunya hilang. Ibnu Hajar pun berkata, "Saya mohon maaf atas jambu yang saya makan."

Lalu, pemilik jambu itu menyuruh Ibnu Hajar membayar ganti rugi tapi dia takde wang. Pemilik jambu berkata, "Kalau begitu kamu bekerja di tempat ku selama satu tahun, pastu baru aku halalkan.” Belum sempat Ibnu hajar ingin menawarkan cara lain, pemilik jambu itu telah lenyap. Kerana Ibnu Hajar telah bertekad untuk bertaubat, maka diturutinya. Selepas setahun bekerja, dia bertemu dengan orang tua itu untuk minta izin untuk tinggalkan tempat itu.
Dengan selamba orang tua itu berkata, "Setahun itu untuk membayar harga jambu, tapi jambu itu kepunyaan anakku. Kamu perlu membayar kesedihan anakku itu. Maka kamu perlu bekerja lagi setahun.”

Terpaksalah dia bekerja lagi setahun. Siang dan malam dia bekerja. Lepas setahun jumpalah dia dengan tuan kebun tadi. Dia berkata, "Hari ini aku dah bebas dan mohon izin untuk meninggalkan kebun ini.”
Tapi, dengan tegas orang tua itu berkata, "No..no..no.. Untuk kau ketahui, kerana anak ku terlalu sedih akibat kehilangan jambunya itu, dia telah menjadi perawan tua. Sebagai hukuman kamu perlu mengahwini anakku itu. Aku harapkan kau tak kecewa dengan calon itu. Anakku kakinya lumpuh, buta, bisu dan pekak.”

Ibnu Hajar bingung. Namun diterimanya juga. Selepas selesai akad nikah, dia dibenarkan masuk ke bilik isterinya itu. Tapi takde sape pun. Dibuka kelambu, alangkah terkejutnya dia melihat gadis yang cantik berkulit merah jambu tanpa cacat cela. Ibnu Hajar lari keluar bertemu mertuanya itu dan berkata, "Mana isteri saya?” Mertuanya berkata, "Gadis itulah isteri kamu. Dia buta kerana tak melihat maksiat, kaki dan tangan lumpuh kerana tak ke tempat maksiat, bisu kerana tak berkata perkara sia2...”

Hmm.. mana la nak cari perempuan camtu sekarang? So, akhowat sekalian, marilah kita berusaha untuk menjadi seperti isteri Ibnu Hajar tu tadi. Mesti best kan.. jadi wanita solehah yang darjatnya sangat mulia di sisi Allah.

Yang ikhwan pulak, mana satu yang korang nak pilih? Permata yang dibalut dengan kain baldu dan disimpan rapi atau permata yang dibiar bertaburan kat tepi jalan?
Perempuan ni sesetengah orang anggap macam Astro, "macam2 ada..", tapi wanita solehah macam One In A Million.. susah sangat nak jumpa..

Exam mode

Huh...suddenly I feel jealous of Upin and Ipin. They don't have to memorise formulae, history facts and such. Sometimes I wish I was 5 again. Play, eat and sleep is all I have to think about. Haha... I know it's just a 'angan2 Minah Jenin', but a girl can dream, can't she? =p

Ok, now I'm being ridiculous. Side effects of a studyaholic (is that even a word?). I have a fortnight till my final exam for this semester and what am I doing right now? Blogging and roaming the Net for no exact reason... Yeah, that's me. A typical last-minute-study student. Hey, don't blame me, I've just finished my UPSS last week. Honestly, the MRSM exam system is driving me crazy! 3 weeks after an exam, there's another waiting.

Lemme explain the exam system. In one semester, there's 3 exams, namely; UPSS 1, UPSS 2 and final exam. Our achievement in the UPSSs will contribute 30% in our pointer while the final exam is 60%. Another 10% is our attendance in class, coursework, homework and attitude.
There! Isn't that just torture?

Anyway, I also want to wish all the best to you guys who will be taking your mid-year exam. Georgians especially.
Success will be ours, InsyaAllah... =)

Stairs of life

,Bismillah... Masa tazkirah maghrib beberapa minggu lepas, abang BADAR ada bagi satu cerita. Aku ingat lagi (walaupun dengan susah payah cuba mengingatnya =p) cerita tu sebab kena betul dengan hidup aku. Maybe dalam hidup semua orang jugak, tapi takpe, aku nak cite jugak.

Ada 3 orang sahabat yang melancong kat bandar Melaka (abang tu bagi contoh Melaka, kalau nak retell story ni kat sesape janganla terikat dengan Melaka je). Tapi masa tu semua hotel penuh. Diorang pun cari2 sampai la jumpa hotel yang ada bilik kosong. Bilik yang kosong tu kat tingkat atas sekali. Lepas diorang letak barang, diorang pun pergi la sight-seeing kat Melaka. Dah malam2 buta baru balik hotel.

Tapi, lif hotel tu rosak. Terpaksa la diorang guna tangga yang ada 60 anak tangga. So, sambil naik tangga tu diorang cerita pengalaman diorang. 20 anak tangga pertama, si A cerita pasal pengalaman gembira dia. 20 anak tangga seterusnya, si B cerita pasal cabaran2 yang pernah dia hadapi dan masa 20 anak tangga terakhir, si C kata, "Weh, kunci bilik kita hilang la..." Bila dia cakap camtu, diorang pun melopong je kat tangga mengenang nasib si perantau....

Hah, gelak, gelak jugak. Aku nak bagitau moral of the story ni. Hidup kita macam tangga tu la. 20 yang pertama, zaman kanak2 kita yang penuh dengan kegembiraan. Tak payah pening kepala pasal apa2. 20 yang seterusnya, macam zaman remaja dan dewasa. Masa ni la banyak tanggungjawab yang perlu kita pikul. Banyak tanggungjawab, mesti la banyak cabaran kan. SO, kita kena bijak menghadapi cabaran. Jangan mengeluh dulu sebelum cuba.

20 yang terakhir tu pulak zaman emas kita. Kalau kita tak laksanakan tanggungjawab masa muda kita dulu, hari2 tua kita hambar je. Rasa tak aman hidup disebabkan bebanan tanggungjawab yang tak terlaksana tu. Balasan Allah kepada orang yang malas berusaha masa badan masih kuat. Bila dah tua, dah tak berdaya nak buat macam2. Habiskan masa atas sejadah je. Tu pun tak larat nak buat macam2 ibadat. Masa muda ni, enjoy, enjoy jugak. Kewajipan mesti didahulukan.

Joy of activites...

WARNING : This post may cause eye sores or irritation and other eye defects. Please turn away from the screen occasionally. Any uncomfortable to the eyes are not of my responsibilities.

Bismillah... Bersyukur kita ke hadrat Allah s.w.t. kerana dengan limpah kurnia-Nya pelajar2 TGB dibenarkan pulang bermalam pada minggu ni sebab cuti peristiwa sempena Makan Malam *Muafakat. Kitorang cuti la hari Isnin. Homework pun tak banyak. Nikmatnya hidup!

Anyways, these 2 weeks were full of activities and classes were dismissed early. So, for 2 weeks, school ended at noon. Hah, tak payah gasping, takde yang bestnya habis sekolah awal pun. Sama je penatnya macam sekolah.

♪ Type III Fair which was a presentation day for the Form 5's **SEM projects. We, the Form 4s were supposed to go to the exhibits and write 2 synopsis about the projects of each category; Scientific, Engineering and Innovation, Descriptive and Others. Yang ni, tak payah cite sangat la. Inti patinya, memang penat sebab pameran bukan kat satu tempat je. Merata-rata.

♪ Hari Anugerah Penghargaan Pengetua, similar to KGV's Anugerah Pengetua. Form 5 students who achieved the PNG of 3.5 and above were awarded. Time diorang naik pentas ambik sijil la part paling boring. Yela, yang naik pentas bukannya sorang 2 orang, more or less 200 students! So, sleeping is best solution to overcome my boredom. Then, when the last student went up the stage, the audience went wild with loud applause and cheers. Hehe, terkenang nostalgia kat KGV dulu...

♪ E-Night which was on Saturday night. It's a night where students sit back, relax and enjoy the performance by somehow talented students. The theme for the night was Masquerade, where students have to wear masks to enter the hall (or ball. Malam ni la yang ditunggu2 sebab time ni je diorang boleh bergaya sakan. Sebelum ni asyik terikat dengan baju kurung, seluar trek, plain t-shirt dan tudung berjahit tengah. So, malam tu, kreativiti diorang mencurah2. Topeng2 unik yang aku jumpa ialah Zorro, Phantom of the Opera, topeng perompak, yang pakai paper bag pun ada! And I noticed a girl who wore a Cinderella gown. Uuu... But then, I didn't bother to dress up. Malas la...XP

The night was kick started by a piano recital with the song, The Last Lullaby from the Twilight movie and the JB's Lovebug instrumental of piano and guitar. Membelai jiwa dan raga... Then the ***Azzariat sang I Believe I Can Fly, followed by a choir performance and a shuffle dance as the finale. Coolness! I didn't the expect the night will be rawking awesome!

♪ United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) which was on Sunday morning. Once again, no dorm inspection. Adoi, bila la nak sapu bilik tu... Habuk2 dah jadi dust bunnies dah. Anyway, UNGA ni sebenarnya some kind of conference by the delegations of 18 countries which represents 18 Form 5 classes, discussing on the topic, The Global Economy Meltdown. Tengok, tajuk pun dah gempak.

Each class representatives were to describe the economy of the country they represent and discuss with other representatives to solve the economy meltdown. Cuba teka negara apa yang paling teruk kena hentam? USA la, kononnya diorang yang sebabkan kejatuhan ekonomi global ni. Tapi, akak wakil USA tu, pandai patahkan hujah2 and she was awarded as the best speaker walaupun mati2 dihentam. Memang best la dengar diorang berdebat, macam kat Parlimen. English diorang pun power.

♪ Dorm spotcheck with my ****homeroom, Topaz 1. The girls got to visit the boys' dorm and vice versa. Tidaaakk!! Dah la bilik aku berhabuk! Tapi best jugak dapat lawat blok lelaki. Aku ingat best sangat la 1 partition 2 orang. Rupanya partition diorang macam cubicles kat office tu, cuma dinding tinggi sikit. Best lagi bilik aku yang katil kopak2 tu... Bila nak visit girls' dorm pulak, budak laki excited betul. Afnan kata bilik aku macam padang pasir, berhabuk. Kenyataan hiperbola di situ ye. Takde la sampai tahap boleh buat pantai kat situ. Huh...

♪ Sukantara to contribute points for sports houses. FYI, aku rumah Biru. Sukantara ni merangkumi acara 800 m, 100 m, lompat jauh dan lontar peluru. Every participation will contribute 1 point for the house and those who passed the limit will contribute 3 points. Somehow I managed to get 3 points for 800 m only. Haha... Alyani pulak memang kontra dengan aku walaupun memiliki kekedingan yang sama. She's a black belt holder in taekwondo, you know. Takpe la, setiap orang ada kelebihan.

Dah la tu... asyik online je. Homework wouldn't finish themselves. 2 minggu lagi nak exam pulak... Ganbatte!


*Muafakat lebih kurang macam PIBG
**Schoolwide Enrichment Model (SEM) --> setiap pelajar/kumpulan kena buat projek ikut kategori pilihan. Lebih kurang macam projek universiti, perlu ada kajian dan mini tesis perlu dihantar. Masa Pesta Type III, setiap projek akan dibentangkan dan diadili.
***TGB MJSC's nasyeed group but I'm not sure about the spelling.
****homeroom ni macam keluarga angkat kat MRSM. Every homeroom consist of 12-15 students and a teacher advisor, a.k.a mak/ayah angkat.

Headaches, Fevers, Colds...

Tadaima! I'm home! Missed my room, my bed, my bantal busuk... =p 5 weeks livin' the hostel life were like a year! How can I survive for another 2 years?? DX Baru 2 minggu kat situ dah demam selsema. Huh, konon nak merasa tinggal kat asrama, merungut pulak aku... Bukannya apa, hostel life seemed fun when Ayah told me about his back then. Hakikatnya, kontra ya amat! There's rules everywhere I go. Cara susun baju dalam almari pun ada peraturan. Betapa hidupku diselubungi peraturan... Kat situ, akak2 BADAR sangat strict pasal aurat. Tang tu aku tak kisah sangat. Tapi yang paling aku tak suka, late bedtime and early rise. Early as in 5 a.m. Akak BADAR pulak akan jadi siren tiap2 pagi. During my first night, aku fikir jugak, akak2 ni takde keje lain ke jerit2 pagi2 buta?

Bilik asrama pulak taklah segah nama maktab ni. Katil dan almari yang antik yakni berkopak-kopak, tilam yang sangat "empuk" dll... Tak nak la kutuk maktab sendiri. Bilik aku jugak tu. Selesa la, 1 bilik 4 orang. Everyone has their own personal space.

But, the best things about MRSM TGB are my roommates and classmates. Sporting and happening-lah senang cerita. Tapi nasib aku "baik" la tahun ni, Faiz is once again my classmate. Budak2 kelas aku panggil dia bapak. Haha...memang jodoh dia dengan panggilan bapak... And once again, I'm the AJK Keceriaan. Hehe...hancur la kelas tu nanti. Btw, aku kelas 415, aka 4O. Nama kelas guna nombor/huruf je, yela kelas ada 18, kering otak nak fikir nama kelas. Fortunately, the teachers didn't have drowsiness aura, except for my Maths teacher. He reminds me of my Form 2 Sejarah teacher. In class, I'm sitting between Alyani and Afiqah (Fiqa, your long lost twin? Muka pun lebih kurang je...). In front of me are 3 funny yet annoying gents, Luqman, Afnan and Afiq.

Homework? Loads! Sehari takde homework tak sah. Sampai kalau hari tu takde homework, aku akan rasa gelisah sebab maybe ada tapi tak ingat or something's wrong with the teacher. In MRSM, not having homework is not normal. Presentations? In 1 week, there's at least 3 presentations. Hah, ambik kau. Nak sangat duduk asrama. But then, it's a good practice for self-esteem boosting. I can feel that I'm better at speaking in public. Yeay me!

Orientation week

This week was fun+boring. The boring part is when the HEP, BKPs and the counsellors gave their speeches, welcome wish, blah, blah, blah... Btw, BKP stands for Badan Kepimpinan Pelajar which have 5 units, Badan Wakil Pelajar, Lembaga Disiplin Pelajar (more like prefects), Badan Dakwah dan Rohaniah aka BADAR, English Motivation Committee and Pembimbing Rakan Sebaya. Anyway, ex-Georgian Muhzani and lagi sorang tak tau nama dia are one of the EMC and PRS tau. =D (cricket sound) Did I just bore you?

Ok, moving on to the fun part. On the 3rd night, the BWPs arrange a game. The story goes like this. During the semester break, a staff was murdred and the BWPs were the suspects sebab diorang je yang tinggal kat maktab untuk program kepimpinan. So, each class have to investigate and find out the suspect, the crime scene and the object used to murder. List of suspects, crime scene and objects were given. Setiap crime scene ada BWP yang jaga dan kitorang kena tanya kat BWP tu sampai la dapat jawapan yang betul. Yang kelakarnya, masa kelas aku pergi kat bilik dobi, ada group of abang lepak2 kat situ. Kitorang nak pergi tanya, pastu tetiba je abang tu bagi jawapan. Kitorang tak percaya sangat sebab takkan senang2 je die bagi jawapan. Tapi masa tu kitorang dah putus asa nak teruskan, so kitorang balik ke dewan nak beritau jawapan. Tengok2 betul jawapan tu... Haha, mati2 kitorang ingat abang tu tipu. So, my class was declared as TGB's Young Detective. Free2 je dapat. XD

That's all for now. Banyak lagi nak cite ni, tapi nanti panjang2 sangat korang tak baca lak.
Till then. =)

Memories

Within my book of memories,
Are special thoughts of you.
And all the many nice things
You often say and do -

As I turn the pages,
And recall each single thought,
I realize the happiness
That knowing you has brought.

There are memories of the times we've shared
Both bright and sunny days.
There are memories of your kindness
And your friendly thoughtful ways.

There are memories of all those notes,
we would write back and forth,
When we would just get together,
And talk of this or that.

And when I recall these memories
As I go along life's way,
I find they grow more precious still
With every passing day.

Eternal friendship

Tanggal 10 Februari nanti, secara rasminya aku akan bergelar ex-Georgian dan warga MRSM Jasin. Kalau tak rasminya, hari Khamis lepas, hari terakhir aku di SMK King George V. Aku agak terkilan sebab tak dapat jumpa beberapa orang kawan sebelum aku tinggalkan KGV. Tak ramai orang yang tau hari Khamis tu hari terakhir aku sebenarnya. Salah aku jugak sebab tak bagitau... Timah, Wani, Dibah, belajar elok2 ye. Jangan lupakan aku, aku pun takkan lupakan korang. Semoga korang sentiasa di bawah rahmat Allah, amin...

Masa hari Khamis tu jugak Teacher Santha suruh nyanyi lagu/buat puisi pasal friends. Great timing! Just when I was gonna leave the school. Group kitorang, nyanyi lagu I Kissed A Girl yang liriknya diubahsuai oleh Farah dan Thinesh ikut tajuk yang cikgu bagi. Agak kelakar lagu tu. Haha... But, we had a great time. XD Ni lirik lagu tu, cubala korang nyanyi, mesti korang tergelak sendiri. =p

You were the best that I could find
Yes, there's no option
I used you everytime I could
To do my homework
I need your book, I need your notes
A friend in need is what they say.

*But when you left it was empty
There's no other book to copy
I want you back, you're trustworthy
I just realised that you're friendly.
I'm sorry now, I hope you know
This is my new intention
Coz when you left it was empty (it was empty)

So true, so good, yet so humble
Help me, cheer me when I'm in trouble
Hard to resist so reliable
Too good to deny it
I'm sorry now, please forgive me...

Repeat *

Lepas tu, bila dah habis sekolah, aku pergi A&W untuk habiskan masa sama2 dengan Aisya Darinna Afniza (gabungan nama Aidil, Syazwani, Wardah, Arina, Earina, Afiqah, Hanis dan Izzati). Cuma Wani je takde, dia tak datang sekolah. Fatin pulak ada latihan kawat pukul 4. Mula2 tu, makan2, borak2, tangkap gambar and then, bila Fatin dah nak pergi, we burst into tears and hugged each other. Memang sedih dan juga memalukan sebab ada pelanggan2 lain yang turut menyaksikan 'drama' tadi. Masa nak balik pun sama. We hugged and cried. Rasa susah sangat nak lepaskan kawan yang dah 3 tahun bersama, susah dan senang. But, life must go on. Success must be achieved and to do that, sacrifices are necessary.

Au revoir, Aisya Darinna Afniza. Sayounara KGV. Goodbye home...

Teman Sejati

Selama ini ku mencari-cari
Teman yang sejati
Buat menemani perjuangan suci

Bersyukur kini pada Mu Illahi
Teman yang dicari selama ini
Telah ku temui

Dengannya di sisi perjuangan ini
Senang diharungi bertambah murni
Kasih Illahi

Kepada Mu Allah ku panjatkan doa
Agar berkekalan
Kasih sayang kita

Kepada mu teman ku pohon sokongan
Pengorbanan dan pengertian
Telah kuungkapkan segala-galanya...

Itulah tandanya kejujuran kita

Choices

Hari ni, lepas balik dari kenduri pertunangan kawan baik Ayah, aku terus bukak internet. Nak check tawaran untuk MRSM. Dah tulis kad pengenalan, tertera 'Tahniah! Anda berjaya!'. *gasp* Alhamdulillah... Mata dah terbeliak, mulut terlopong. Mula2 tu memang seronok tak terkata, berlari-lari masuk bilik beritahu Ummi. Ummi dengan reaksi yang serupa ucap tahniah dan peluk aku. Ayah hanya menganggukkan kepala, sebab dia tengah tidur masa tu. Lepas tu, kegembiraan lenyap sedikit demi sedikit, terfikir pasal kawan yang dah 3 tahun berkepit sana sini. Sayang la nak tinggalkan Aisya Darinna Afniza. Aku terdiam kejap, perasaan bercampur baur sampai tak tau jadi perasaan apa pulak. Pada masa yang sama, teruja sangat bila dapat MRSM Tun Ghafar Baba sebab dekat, Ummi dan Ayah boleh lawat selalu. Entah la...

P/S : Aisya Darinna Afniza, you guys rock my life! XD

East coast

Friday night, as usual, I was on the Net, the bros were killing each other; in the game of PS2 while Ayah was reading the headline and Ummi was on the phone. Only the ear-blasting sound of the PS2 game and Ummi's chatter were heard as we indulge in our 'businesses'. Then, Ayah's voice suddenly barge in.

Ayah : Hari Sabtu ni, kita pergi Kelantan eh.
Us (me and the bros) : Huh? Uhh... *heavy sigh*
Me : Nak buat apa? Malas la travel jauh2.
Ayah : Laa...ayah yang bawak kete, bukan akak. Kita nak jenguk Tok Su, dia sakit. Sambil2 tu kita pergi Terengganu jugak, tengok Masjid Kristal.
Me : Oh yeke...tapi nak buat apa 9 jam dalam kete?
Ayah : ...(continued reading)

So that was it. No more arguing. We packed and slept early. Err...earlier than usual. We got out of the house before dawn.

Our weekend getaway...

♪ Kelantan

We visited sick Tok Su at Jeli. He had some kind of stroke that made him unable to talk properly. While Ayah and Ummi were chatting with him (dunno how they keep up with his difficulties), I enjoyed killing time watching Jimmy Neutron on TV9. (It wasn't very much enjoyable as I hate dubbed cartoons but it's better than watching the grass grow). Then, we left for Mak Uda's at Rantau Panjang to stay for the night. And one thing for sure, we didn't expect a downpour because the weather in Seremban is the total opposite! Haven't had sweatless sleep for days...

♪ Terengganu

This is where my fun-o-meter really filled up! After a night at Mak Andak's at Kuala Terengganu, we headed to the Crystal Mosque. The excitement built in me as we got closer to the destination. I grasped the camera like it's about to shatter into pieces. XD I already took a dozen pictures of the mosque the moment we arrived. That's not till we were at Taman Tamadun Islam. Anyway, I'll just show you some of the pics and let you continue the story. =D







Hmm...very amatuerish pics, isn't it? Well, at least you get the picture. After a long walk and picture snapping, we take a break at one of the cafe. I got myself popcorns and a blackcurrant juice. When we're about to leave, an announcement said that there will be solar eclipse gazing at the Convention Centre. We, me and the bros, gave Ayah a pleading look. A firm no came out from his mouth. He said, we must reach Kuantan before dark. We were too tired to argue so we went to the souvenir shop, bought a keychain and headed straight to the car. The journey was surprisingly quiet. When I was sleeping, Ayah's call woke me up. He was pointing at something in the sky. I gasped. It's the solar eclipse! Subhanallah... We cherished the moment before it was gone 10 minutes later.

Special thanks : sniffa93

♪ Kuantan, Pahang

Err...there's nothing much to tell. We just stayed for the night and went to Mak Cik Ida's to have lunch. Then, we headed home. When I got home, homework were waiting for me. Ugh...=.=" As if I haven't had enough tiredness for one day.

Palestin...

Dapatkan Mesej Bergambar di Sini

Tengok, kesian budak tu kan? Dikurung di negara sendiri. Kita di Malaysia ni haruslah bersyukur sebab kita hidup dalam keadaan aman dan damai. Dan kita sebagai saudara seIslam, bantulah mereka di Palestin supaya mereka dapat menjalani hidup seperti orang lain. Israel sekarang ni dah tak kenal mana satu musuh, mana satu orang awam. Main bedil je. Jadi, kita hulurkanlah bantuan kepada mereka yang dah bersabung nyawa mempertahankan agama suci Allah. Walaupun tak dapat berjuang sama, kita boleh melemahkan Israel melalui ekonominya dengan memboikot produk Israel.

Firman Allah s.w.t.,

"Tidaklah sama antara mukmin yang duduk (yang tidak turut berperang) yang tidak mempunyai uzur dengan orang-orang yang berjihad di jalan Allah dengan harta mereka dan jiwanya. Allah melebihkan orang-orang yang berjihad dengan harta dan jiwanya atas orang-orang yang duduk dengan satu darjat. Kepada mereka Allah menjanjikan pahala yang baik (syurga) dan Allah melebihkan orang-orang yang berjihad atas orang yang duduk dengan pahala yang besar."

Surah an-Nisa' ayat 95

Cross-country race

The beginning of an exhausting day for this year. Why am I saying this? Because, no one is dumb enough to run 8 km around town for self-pleasure. Unless, if getting leg cramps for a week is the kind of pleasure you wanted, then go ahead. Participation is COMPULSORY (this goes to those who didn't show up at the race, right Fiqa? =p). Even if I don't wanna take part in this ridiculously-tiring race, Ummi will make me. She's a teacher in my school for cryin' out loud! I was hesitating to show up at the race because the cramps from the practice that Ummi made me to go had not recovered yet. But I showed up after all, thinking of what would my friends say (and also Ummi, so enough thinking!) if I didn't.

Frankly, this year's race was the only race I've ever put all my will and strength to. I don't know why, but I felt the eager to make it to the top 50 and receive a cert. The year before, Fiqa and I hardly ran. We walked and jabbered most of the time. Yup, this is what people who hardly exercise do during a cross-country race. And then the next day, we will get leg cramps. =p

The categories are Boys and Girls 1 (Upper Form) and Boys and Girls 2 (Lower Form). Throughout the race, we must pass 3 checkpoints; we will be given a card at each checkpoint. If the cards are lost, winning points will not be taken. Meaning, you will go home empty-handed even if you made it to the top 50. The track is 8 km long. No fair! Last year's was 5 km! DX

Initially, I ran with Arina, Wani, Fatin, Izzati and Zawani. Later, Arina and I ditched them. Haha, some friends we turned out to be. =p After 30 minutes, more or less...it's 50 m to the finish line, 40 m, 30 m, 20 m, 10 m and....no. 67?? That's it? Uhh...I didn't make it. =.=" I nearly collapsed from exhaustion and this is what I get? Whatever...

Oh, and then, award time. Sad to say, Seng Long wiped out all the trophy! O.o They're in the lead for points, followed by Abdul Malek (Hah! In your face, Fatin, Zati! XD), Sheikh Ahmad, Braddon and Meade. And then, went to class. Guess what? Puan Yatimah actually wanted to teach despite the tiredness and loopiness expressed on our faces. What the--?! But, there's no arguing with the Vice Principle. So, we spent the last 40 minutes making little kid's sentences for we were too tired to think of sentences that suit our level. And Pn. Yatimah seemed to approve of it, thank goodness...

Like Whoa!

Semalam aku pergi reunion kat JJ Seremban 2. Ni la first time aku pergi reunion ex-ABIM. Walaupun sebelum ni diorang pernah buat (yang aku baru tau semalam...), aku tak pernah pergi. Sebab apa? Diorang takde pun nak ajak aku! Huh... *pouts* Ok, tak nak la cakap pasal tu. Hilang mood aku nak tulis post ni nanti.

Reunion tahun ni agak grand sebab ex-ABIM dari seluruh pelusuk Seremban datang (dan seorang dari K.Pilah), ikhwan dan akhwat. Ramai muka2 yang aku hampir tak cam, terutamanya budak lelaki. Biasa la tu...tapi kan, pelik, Azim dan Faisal makin chubby. Bukan ke lelaki makin besar makin kurus dan tinggi? LOL... =D. Azira dan Fadhilah pulak masih gila2 macam dulu. Zulfaa tak lekang dengan tudung labuhnya. Izzah...tak payah cite la, memang hari2 nampak muka dia. Jiran la katakan... =) Nina pulak, whoa...memang lain sangat daripada dulu. Rugged! Ok, dah la. Kalau nak cerita pasal semua orang memang tak cukup satu post. Sori la ek korang yang lain2 tu, jari aku pun nak rehat jugak. =p

Anyways, sebenarnya janji tunggu kat bowling alley pukul 11. Aku dan Izzah bertolak pukul 10.15. Tu pun dah kelam kabut, takut lambat sampai. Tapi, bila dah sampai...... (cricket sound) takde orang pun! Setengah jam kemudian, baru la nampak batang hidung diorang. Aku sempat habiskan satu roti Pappa lagi.

Aktiviti kitorang...

♪ Main boling

Ni memang satu kemestian! Reunion ke, keluar jalan2 dengan kawan2 ke, mesti main boling. Faten memang terror walaupun dia kata tak pernah main boling. Highest score tu! Aku pulak, hehe...biasa la, antara yang paling sikit score. Masa tengah2 main tu tangan terseliuh la pulak... uhh... =.=" Main 1 game je pun sampai sejam lebih. Banyak borak dan tangkap gambar je. Tapi budak laki tak main sekali, malu la konon... Anyway, keputusannya... Hanis dapat the 3rd least score! Bangga ni... =p

♪ Makan kat McD

Yang ni, takde apa sangat nak cerita. Makan, borak2, tangkap gambar (lagi), tukar2 nombor telefon... Oh ye, ni la first time aku habiskan makanan aku. Malas la nak pegang. =p

♪ Tengok wayang

The best part of this reunion! Kitorang tengok Bedtime Stories. Memang kelakar! I was laughing my head off! Berbaloi la bayar tiket RM 9. Masuk wayang pun tak beli apa2 sebab dah kenyang makan McD tadi.

Lepas tengok wayang, semua berpecah buat hal sendiri. So much for a reunion... Aku, Izzah dan Alaa' pergi MPH beli buku, barang sekolah, etc. etc. Lepas tu, merayau... Dah tak tau nak pergi mana. Pukul 5, berkumpul balik. Tangkap gambar lagi. Penat la tahan senyum. =.="
Balik pulak ayah Izzah jemput.

There you have it. My best day ever before school starts...
