Raya 2011

Assalamualaikum..

Being inspired to update this blog by someone. eheh....

Its been a long time. There's a lot to share actually. Time flies. Its already the final semester.Gosh!!

Okey.., i hope its not too late to wish happy raya, raya..(i had great raya this year, Alhamdulillah)

First thing, I just wanna share my raya in here, as I want to cherish every moment of it. Start with raya with my beloved family.

I went back to kampung two days before raya to help my grandma like every year. kemas rumah, do the langsir part.., and stuff. Usually didn't stop doing work until raya eve, as like very year....my final job is susun kuih raya while watching drama raya....(the typical drama raya, nak blk kampung.., sedih2, mintak ampun n stuff..huh)

on raya morning, i'll be the last one who always late to go to solat eid, sometimes, x sempat pun pergi solat eid (like this year) i had to wait all my cousins yg kecik2 tu mandi2.., not to mention mandi + main air...(sabo jer laa)  mmg x sempat coz we just walked to the mosque, sbb teramat lah dekat and x berbaloi nak pakai kereta because sah lagi confirm there will be no parking space.

so, what I do while waiting them to come back is hidang all the food as i know after they all came back from the mosque, they'll be starving.. mana taknyer, before going to the mosque, semua x sempat nk breakfast. meanwhile, bukak la jugak tv dengar takbir raya (actually takut duduk rumah bila org x de) 

then, after makan2.., all of us will get ready ourselves for, errr., I call it as salam2 ceremony with family alaa.., salam ngan mama & papa, my aunts and uncles, my grandma (tukwan) and with  my cousins (err.., they are the one who'll be salam with me coz i'm cucu sulung) hehee....,tua jugak aku.. then, having our first duit raya from them. usually, after makan2 tu, the boys will wearing their samping and songkok hensem2, the girls (including me) will wear tudung for family pictures..then only the salam2 ceremony start (damn, what the people call it hah?)

what's next? 

we headed to New Castle (Kota Bharu), Kelantan..(saje jer buat poyo) hehe.. to go to my papa's relatives' there as my papa is from Kelantan. mmg definitely the first raya tu raya raya sakan laa.. late at night baru balik to kampung (in Besut actually, bout 40 mins to Kota Bharu).

on the second day of raya, which is the last day i'll be in Besut before going back to Sg Petani, as tradition, my house will make an open house. like every year, the guests start to come at 9am.  the house is 'closed' you dont wanna know what time.., sometimes 11pm pun ada orang datang lagi..!! mmg sakan open punyer house lah. hahaa.., very tiring but at the same time its really fun coz i enjoyed keep myself updating all the news as i only see them once a year. 

sorry didnt upload the pics with my relatives coz x sempat.(mana nak amik gambar sambil bawak dulang makanan ngan air kan) hahaa..i just have the pics during the first raya

Let the picture do the talk..

Aiman (my male cousin) with my one and only sister (Arissa) diorang lah orang paling awal bangun on pagi raya, padahal orang paling lewat nak bangun sahur time bulan puasa..hahaha

my mama's delicious rendang still in dapur....hahaa

hmmm.., dah tinggal sikit sbb separuh dah hidang atas meja

getting ready to go for raya

x sabar2 nak pergi kutip duit raya..

my brothers...(both in pink) 

that cute little boy is my youngest cousin (Amsyar)

Amsyar tu sebenarnya tengah tunggu my brother untuk pakai samping as once he's done Amsyar akan tarik samping tu bagi tercabut balik ( naughty little boy he is..haaha)

in grey.., is my grandma..(she still a vogue woman for me)

my mama is besides her

that cameraman is actually my uncle.

we're having salam2 with each other...

my papa is giving duit raya to little Amsyar...

ada ke patut, dia suruh papa yg kiss dia, terbalik plak. patutnyer, papa la yg mintak kiss kat Amsyar..

hailaa., budak kecik sorang nie..

finally..me and my beloved mama...

err.., okey, i'm a bit taller than my mama...

Okey.., so I just spent my raya time in kampung only for 2 days as we had to go back to Sungai Petani on then third raya. 

I got back to CFS on fifth raya by train....which is very sad as to leave home.

 so thats it...thats my raya with my family.

InsyaAllah if and only if I have my chance, I would like to share the raya moment with my friends in CFS.

within less than 2 weeks, i'll be having my first final semester exam.. so yeah.., hope to strive for the best.

maybe during my semester break, i will have more time to spend to catch up with what i'm left out. geezz....i thought i'd missed lots of fun as i'm stuck in her

planning to take IELTS during short semester, but we'll see it first..

till then.... (x tau laa bila lagi bleh update blog ni hah)

Ramadhan this Year: Something to Ponder for Me......

Assalamualaikum...

Well.., it has been almost 3 weeks the Muslims fasting during Ramadhan month. I've been really, really, really busy throughout this month this year. 

This year's Ramadhan makes me think a lot about myself. For the first time, I can count how many times I go to Terwaih after Isya' ! Back when I was in school's year, it's very hard for me to skip terawih. No matter how tired I am after the long hours of classes + extra classes..., I still manage to hold myself to do terawih together. 

But here, in CFS.., its been so difficult for me to perform terawih. I'm not making excuses to skip, in fact I've been trying really hard to find some time to do it. And I feel bad about it..:(

This year's Ramadhan also teach me how to be greatful and thankful because despite of tiredness, I feel that everything's worth it. Although I feel bad because I left my terawih, but I didn't leave it just because I'm tired. I've been struggling to finish all the assignments and paperwork. 

I also miss the value of having buka puasa with family and go to terawih together. This is the third year and I really miss my mama's bubur lambuk so much! She's the best cook ever for bubur lambuk! hahahaaha....

I remember all the moments when I was helping her baking the kuih raya and then, started to eat them as dessert after buka puasa! Makes it kuih puasa instead of kuih raya!

There's so much moments that I missed being here. Although I have friends here, it could never be the same being with the family. Ah yeah..., I didn't shopping raya with my family once again...It's rare shopping raya with friends instead with family. Suddenly, I feel that in the shopping mall, nobody went shopping with friends but with family (that is so not true, but I feel that way!) Me and Farah were going out to MidValley just to buy BigApple doughnuts for buka puasa! Mind me, just to buy doughnuts!!! Oh my Gosh!! hahahhaa....whatever, Farah.., i just accompanying you...hehehee...

Both of us felt awkward doing window shopping as everyone were like crazy buying this and that. It's SALE!SALE!SALE! Thinking of a pair of shoes in the Robinsons store at The Gardens right now! Its more than affordable for us to buy if we want, you know! It's just.., well.., we're too CHEAPSKATE spending our allowance. Everyone is HAPPY!!! huh!

Since there's only one week left and I almost completed all assignments, so I think I might have a chance to go terawih after this, InsyaAllah....

After all, the last 10 days of Ramadhan, we should be hunters to hunt the LailatulQadar which only came once in a year every Ramadhan....Subhanallah...

Till then, i gotta finished up everything before raya as after that, it's the revision week for us before the final semester examination...

What Has to Be Done

Assalamualaikum..

Its the second week of Ramadhan month. Wow..times flies..

And I'm still struggling with my assignments, classes, and the society. Pheeww...its the end of this week. 

Giving me more workloads...Yeah I know.., this is no longer high school and no more getting pampered by teachers and etc.  So, carry on with life as this is my choice and I should be greatful  as many others don't have the chance like me. Not that they don't have a chance to be pressured like me, but I gain a lot of things despite all the suffering to complete every tasks given. 

Being a pre-university student, is very, very a different world to high school's life. (aarrghh.., I said the same thing many times to myself. grow up, kiddo!) but still..., I always forget!! 

Anyway.., I had a chat in Facebook with a secondary school girl. I didn't really know her, actually. Perhaps just as a mutual friend. She appeared in my chatbox and asked me how to be a girl...HUH??? a girl asked me how to be a girl. I assume it as she wants to be more feminine. She is a tomboy a her school and always had a fight with the boys at school. Okay...I'm still listening to her as she tole me her problem. Finally, she said that she doesn't want to be like that anymore and wanted to be a real "girl". Right......

First of all.., I was thinking at that time. How am I going to advice her or at least help her out in finding ways how to solve her problem. The thing is...the way she take my words in a different way. I don't know..., she seems like taking everything in a negative perception. Hmmm....that's tough for me because I never been in a Pembimbing Rakan Sebaya before. Even though my friend always find me whenever they have problems. But in her case.., I think it would be much easier if I can communicate with her face to face rather than in a Facebook chat. So that I can really know what exactly bothering her. 

I also kept thinking myself that am I doing the right thing?? I know that I am not the best person for her to seek help as I also don't have any experience in her case. But, I've a lot of friends who are being a 'tomboy' and they seems to be fine. Probably because most of them are athletes. Hmm..make sense also....

But, I really want to help the girl. It's just I don't know how....

I didn't even have a time to ask the matter to someone who have more experience regarding this matter. 

Well, I guess that girl has to find her own initiative first..Sorry.....

As for me..., I had to find myself to scream out loud!!! As loud as I can..!! 

Till then, I am still battling with the time constraint to finish up everything before Hari Raya.

UPDATING MYSELF

Assalamualaikum...

Well, it's quite for sometimes since I didn't update in here. Well, I am too busy with the life as a student. 

It's 11 Ramadhan already. Times flies...

A lot of things had happened recently.

First of all, this is my very first time fasting in a campus life. So, yeah.., no one can even control me of what to eat, for such.., " oh you cannot eat that" "you should eat this" or even "alaa., makan je laa what is served in the hostel" back in hostel's life few years back..

But here.., I can eat or didn't at all if I wish too!! It all depends on me..huh..dah grown up la katakan.....

But still.., I did miss my mama's cooking..

Then, tonnes of assignments to be done and submitted within these Ramadhan weeks which is really, really makes my life pretty miserable, currently.... which then lead me to crap here..hehee

As for MeLEX, we are planning to do "Bubur Lawmbok"..hahaa..

It's kind of interesting actually. Well, if and only if I could grab my camera, then I'll post some pics in here Considering that this is my first experience to get involve in such events.

My parents just came and visit me last week. We go out together and shopping for baju raya (awal giler kan).

Had a great time with them since I really miss them a lot. (Mengada je, baru study kat dalam negara, belum oversea dah macam ni) ahahhaa..well.., anak mama & papa..

The first week of Ramadhan, I had an iftar with my uncle's familt in Taman Tun which is just a stone's throw away with the CFS, PJ here. I spent a good weekend helping my aunt who is currently pregnant her 9th children. wow....I know.....really salute..!!

Then, we go to Damansara, Chow Kit Road.....shopping, yeah..

End of the weekend, get back to CFS, back to the rat race.., back to the hectic life as a student..

Now.., can't wait for Raya..hehe:)

The MSLS 2011

Assalamualaikum..

First and foremost, happy eid mubarak to all Muslims...

The purpose for this post is I just want to share my experience at the Malaysian Student Leaders Summit 2011 which had been held in KL Hilton on 30 and 31 of July 2011. Unfortunately, I only had the opportunity to attend only on 31 July considering that I have one more mid-semester exam paper on the 30th. 

So, I can only be sharing with you my experience on Sunday. So, basically the MSLS event is about future politics in Malaysia, Economic issues, Civil Society and others that related to the theme of the summit which is "Piecing Together Malaysia Puzzle".

This is the final trailer for the summit

So, I missed the Malaysian Constitution session which is on Saturday. The session is with the Speaker of the Dewan Parlimen, Rafizi Ramli, and the Constitutional Law from UiTM. Despite that, on Sunday, I had the chance to hear about Civil Society, Malaysian Economy, and Malaysian Politics. Before that, I had to admit that I don't bother about a single thing during the Malaysian Economy session. Frankly speaking, it is so booringg...

The Civil Society and most of all, the Malaysian Politics are the sessions that really enthusiasts me. After all, that is the main purposes I came to the summit. The topics are basically talking about the roles of the citizen, empowering the nation, the general election, Malaysian Federal Constitution and etc. 

It is really beneficial to me as a law student. 

Other than that, I also made some new friends. They are so cool and friendly. Most of them are the overseas students who are spending their summer holidays in hometown. It is great actually to learn and sharing something from them. Its a great experience and a good knowledge for the betterment in further education and career prospects. 

Oh yeah, for the closing address.., they invited the PM himself for the closing ceremony. So yeah, another experience for me.:)

But then, I didn't really bother about the speech given by the PM. heeehhe...(I am a good citizen)

So, I hope that I can join such program again next year. 

Credits to all the summit's committees for giving me the opportunity to join this summit. :)

You guys have been doing a great job.

Lame Post

Assalamualaikum..

Just a random post here. I'm in the examination mood currently. The last paper is on Saturday. 

In case you are wondering how on earth I still got time to posting something in here.., I just wanna voice out my expression for a while ..

The past papers, especially Arabic language paper, is quite okay for me. BUT the LAWS subjects is quite......

........

Well, you can guess. I tried my best already. So yeah, I hope that I could get positive results. InsyaAllah..

My life in CFS is  more hectic after this. With the assignments to be completed, all the syllabus to be finished before mid-October as we're gonna have our final semester examination in the end of October.

Ramadhan is just around the corner. So yeah, I will celebrate Ramadhan without my family.., again..

considering that I've been staying at the hostel for the past two years. But, it will be my very first experience to fast in CFS with my new friends (some are my old friends back in previous school)..

Back to my main point..,

Everyone has the right in freedom of speech or express something but sometimes, certain people tend to over limit their expression..

Last night is the highlight in my newsfeed in Facebook. Why is everyone keep posting nasty words and commenting with words that is really, really....(you can guess).. 

Its annoying. Yeah, I know they are mad at someone and even though they are not mad at me but at least try to use proper words to express your anger. 

Indeed, I can't denied that the person has irritated you but please...,

not everyone wanna read all those nasty words you post or comments.

For me, only uneducated or uncivilized people who would used those words..

Guys come on...you are a university students, or even straight A's, or a scholar holder..

but your words doesn't show that you deserve to get all that...

What's the point of having knowledge but without virtue???

I admit that I also used the 'words' but at least I keep reminding myself not to publicize the words as I know that would humiliate the person, what more in a social networking e.g. facebook.

Maybe the person is really annoying. Just ignore for your own sake rather than being just like the person.

It's the same thing. You cursed him or her because of what they've done. But you didn't realize that when you smashed them back with the 'words', you also are like them. 

Intellectual people don't use the 'words' to express their feelings. Stop using 'them' as it shows that you have no virtue and you are actually show to the others that you are also as dumb as them. 

So, please...stop saying 'b***h', b**i', b*****g' or f**k.....to others....

If you think that people will feel sorry for you if you post these because you are annoyed at someone.., we are so not sorry for you.....

Well, that's just my personal opinion about the...should I call it as uncivilized words?  

This is also a reminder for myself not to say bad wordings anymore..

Challenges....

Assalamualaikum..

Just a sigh to let go in here.

Its been a really tiring week for me, at least for this week. Its the most tiring, I think...

The mid-term is next week, so yeah.., got night classes for almost every night just to cover the syllabus..

That's not include the meetings with the MeLEX Syura Council.

Conclusion: Seriously..., macam tak cukup tanah nak jalan.

Just before I wrote my entry for today, I just finished a meeting with all the clubs & societies..

It's kind of an experience actually., yeah, getting to know new people and friends.

It's just that maybe I still can't adapt with the university life, which is every thing is depending on us.

So.., yeah, I think I may need some motivation. InsyaAllah.., I will start focusing deeply in The Basic Themes of Quran as this subject really an eye-opener for me who is still lack and searching for the Truth and Guidance from The Creator. 

But..., since this is my choice.., I could actually learn that in this world, nothing is easy unless we think positively that certain circumstances or our obligations is actually an Ibadah because of Allah and we do it sincerely. InsyaAllah.., Allah never give trouble to us. 

My lecturer told me that we all should be thankful and say Alhamdulillah when we feel hard and bad to some circumstances. There's no one in this world who have no problem at all. So, the more we get challenges, the more we should seek the Guidance from Allah which is by remembering Allah, patience and sincerity....

I know that I'm not the one who should talk about this. It's just that the word and the truth my lecturer's been telling me like waking me up that Allah never give hardship for us. It means that Allah love us so much as He want us to remember and seek for the true Guidance from Him whenever we feel the challenges is too hard for us. Allah actually never give us task beyond our capability...

So..., I just want to remind for you and me that every single thing that we did, do it as Ibadah, sincerely because of Allah...

Wallahualam..

Patience and always seek for Allah & Quran whenever I feel so hard..

InsyaAllah..
