The Awaited Reunion

2009-05-17T22:03:00.012+08:00

Alhamdulillah.

Thank YOU ALLAH, for giving me the opportunity to get together with my friends yesterday.

It had been a good 10 years since some of us last met, an

d Syukur to YOU, ALLAH, for letting me live to the day.

This is AD 16 batch July 1995, graduating class of 1999 (and 2000 for some) - hence the production team name is 9T9 Production. This picture was taken in 1997 ( a great year for me) for our Fashion Seminar paper, where we managed and produced our final year seniors Degree Fashion Show. It was the batch that inducted us when we got in the department.

So, the crazy people of AD 16, from the July '95 intake finally met. Walaupun cuma 9 orang, meriahnye, aiyo~ bak kata Nizam, bak 1000 yang mai. *masing2 bawak Qorin n Pendamping kah????** lariks~

It had been 10 years since i finished my degree @ ITM, and most of my friends were met last either at their weddings or during the convocation. And thats it!

Each of us had been going on our own paths for the last 10 years.

I am proud to say that all my friends from my batch, especially from my department, are doingsomething that they like. Majority of us ended up being teachers, entreprenuers and fulltime designers. Alhamdulillah.

9T9 Production.2 members missing: Za @ Sugi and Mek Ina. mana pi tatau?!

Assalamualaikum readers :)

It HAS been a while since i last typed something here. It had been a wonderful 4 months since I last wrote an entry.

What have I been doing?

Sirah Junjungan Tahajjud Cinta

Tudung styling for Pengantin (April) and NUR (May)

planning to do something big for myself this year

busy with lectures and students and shows

am now getting nervous for AMAN - yes, i've backlogged sooo many things *sigh*

was in KK over one weekend for work - and had a SPLENDID getaway!

Anyways, Alhamdulillah for all the nikmat bestowed upon me. I could have never been where I was the last few months if HE did not grant it. Alhamdulillah.

Wonder when would I update again? Wallahualam.

To my readers reading my blog, thanks for dropping by.

thoughts of the day

2009-01-15T01:43:00.003+08:00

Assalamualaikum

This would be my first entry for the year 1430H and 2009.

I was reunited with my sifu Normah Nordin today. How I admire her strength and energy and standing up for what she believes in. I know that this iron lady works from her heart and has a passion in sharing knowledge with others. She is currently running an art studio in Muar, which is called Artnest Gallery, she partnered up with Hamid @ Midah and she teaches visual arts, performing arts and english to the local kids. Those kids are sure very lucky to have great teachers like Kak Normah and Midah.

Looking at the children's drawings and art work, I could sense the sincerity, naiveness and purity in their works. Things that I don't see with my own students. I guess, when one teaches with passion and sincerity, the individual who receives it would deliver the same.

It was Kak Normah, who roped Dida in in this job that she is doing for the finals of a pageant looking for the perfect role model for Malay girls. I am borrowing my costumes for the opening gambit. Anything for Kak Normah and Kak Dida who had been great teachers. They not only taught me the proper way things should be done in a production, but to work passionately and sincerely. They really inspire me.

At one point, later on this evening, as I sat watching the full dress rehearsals for the tv program that is going to be aired LIVE tomorrow night on a local telly station, I asked myself, where is the sincerity and purity in doing one's task. The rehearsals, mind me, was not a good one. Nobody seemed to know his or her function in that production. It started late, finished late, some guest artistes did not bother to attend, wardrobe malfunction and, to add salt to the injury, the contestants themselves did not looked prepared or giving a 100%.

I know it is not fair for me to judge something that has nothing to do with me, but the issue of portraying a Malay girl should take 200 gazillion more effort rather than just filling the telly with 'nice' but non functional and tacky dresses, which in return, does not portray a proper image of a Malay girl.

Being Malay, I was brought up with values of Islam and of Malay ancestry. I was taught to behave properly and how to treat other according to customs which relied a lot on religion it self. But, that was not what I saw. Especially when it comes to the issue of clothing and dressing up.

The proper way of a Malay girl dressing up should be descent and in compliance with the religion. I guess, the objective of the tv program is to find the perfect role model of a Malay girl who knows her roots, religion and culture - BY HARD. But, this was not being portrayed as I thought it should have been. I know, Puan Azah Aziz and Kak Zubaidah Sual would be restless the moment they see the finalists in their opening costumes.

The root of the problem.

I personally think that the production team did not bother to go in deeper when it comes to the main objective (which is made clear by the title of the program). Everything is just a matter of glitz, glam and money. Nothing much on revealing the beauty of the Malay Heritage namely in terms of clothing. Malay by name, but almost all contestants wore super modern clothes- and with horrendous cuttings such as the mermaid tail and long tail trailing the skirt. Where has gone the beauty of Kurung Pesak? Kebaya Pesak Depan? Baju Belah? Kurung Cekak Musang? - just to name a few. Fabric wise, why Lace? and not just simple woven cottons or raw silk? I did overhear somebody saying that they did not want the CLASSIC look because it would look KAMPUNG and out-dated. Er? Did Malays in history, lived in the city? Did your great grandparents lived in big towns? The fact is, majority of the Malays use to live by the river and sea, and water being their main mean of communication to the outside world. So, does that mean, the image of a Malay Girl should be introduced in complicated outfits compared to the simple Baju Kurung Pesak? And I always thought, Malays are supposed to be very simple people.

'A Clothes maketh a person ' - I read this somewhere. And it is SO true.

In costume design, a costume has an important function to relate certain signals to the audience such as gender and the period of time. And I guess, the production did not realize this. They had known from the start ( i am taking a wild guess at this) what the finalists are doing for the talent segment. Thus, the costumes they put on should compliment and accomodate the dramatics, movement and character. Is it appropriate for a Malay girl, in a pastel green mermaid tail skirt and Indonesian beaded kebaya to do the silat and reading poetry on being Malay? and a Mak Inang dressed up in a hot pink Pakistani Brocade Wedding Kebaya? It was heart breaking seeing the girls struggle with what they are wearing. The production should be aware of all these detailings.

The program is about searching for the perfect Malay Girl Role Model, but in the end, nothing looked Malay about the program. Sad but true. Young Malays should be aware of their roots. Hang Tuah once said, Takkan Melayu Hilang Di Dunia, but, i think, it is on the verge of extinction. Especially when we ourselves as Malays do not have place in our hearts, sincerely, appreciating what God has given to us. I hope the children at Artnest Gallery would grow up and appreciate what being Malay is all about.

My 2 cents for the day.

Jazakallahu Khair

Close brush with Izrail

2008-11-05T12:20:00.004+08:00

Salam

Yesterday, I really had a frightening and traumatic experience. I had a close shave with Izrail
The Angel Of Death.

A trailer - er, the one with 8 tires kot? just tipped over and fell on its side on the flyover towards KLIA from Bukit Jelutong. I was just a mere few meters behind the trailer.

I cant remember what and how, as I stepped on my brakes, the car slightly skidded (it was drizzling) and ALMOST hit the barricade. Subhanallah. I was shaken. I wanted to cry, but I could not. I wanted to scream, but I kept quiet. Alhamdulillah there were no cars behind me at all, kalau tak, wallahualam.

Dalam ke'blur'an, I got back in the car, drove past the trailer, got out and saw one of the people in the trailer getting up from BELOW the flyover. I did not know what else to do and so I just drove on ahead towards Kajang to settle stuff for AUG. God. I feel soooo small.

Pengajaran dari apa yang berlaku ialah, Izrail could come knocking anytime, anywhere. Maka, ini peringatan kepada diri saya sendiri juga supaya lebih mengingatkan mati dan bekalan hari muka.

Subhanallah Alhamdulillah Lailahailallah Allahuakbar

Jazakallahu Khair

Anugerah Eid Ul Fitr :)

2008-10-10T02:54:00.003+08:00

pada 7 Syawal lepas, masa tu cuti *waittttt - 7 Syawal = 7 okt kan?* die la KANTOI ~ops~ ngenge i cuti till 6th sajorks........ huihuihui

Red Diva buat la posting dari Penang dan dia buat la kompetisi yang ad-hoc impromtu instante katanya, so. I yang tgh ting tong raya mood ni, sahut cabaran Red Diva yang i dok follow blognye tu sekian lama *dan never la bertemu muka* and so, semalam, kuaq lah resultnye...

Makanye....

MRASA!! tak sangke lak menang.

And so, here goes my acceptance speech.

Alhamdulillahibaril alamin. Atas kurniaNYA dan kehendakNYA, nukilan saya terpilih sebagai pemenang menulis karangan di laman REDMUMMY.COM.

Ilham itu datang dariNYA, saya hanya menggunakan apa kurniaNYA kepada saya untuk meluahkan rasa hati bertepatan tajuk

10 sebab kenapa saya suka blog Red Diva.
dan
10 sebab kenapa saya tak suka blog ashterix.blogspot.com

Tajuknya tampak mudah, namun, ia tidaklah semudah yang disangka. Menyelami isi kandungan blog Redmummy.com dari zaman blogspot sehingga kini sudah pasti ada LEBIH dari 10 sebab mengapa saya setia mengikuti blog beliau.

Meringkaskan kesukaan dalam 10 sebab juga berkehendakkan saya menggunakan pengalaman saya sebagai peserta Bloggers Idol 1, juri Bloggers Idol 2 dan juga dari penghayatan pelbagai ragam blog di alam maya ini dalam menyediakan karangan untuk pertandingan ini.

Idea menggunakan gaya sastera serta prosa klasik ini pun saya tidak tahu dari mana datangnya. Mungkin saya mahukan kelainan daripada karangan biasa. Tapi yang penting ialah, menyampaikan seikhlas hati apa yang ingin disampaikan dalam apa gaya sekalipun. Pemilihan gaya yang digunakan adalah semata-mata mahu menimbulkan kelainan, terutama kepada pemilik blog Redmummy.com untuk memilih mana yang dirasakan sesuai untuk meraih hadiah.

Alhamdulillah, gerak hati serta dengan izin yang dikurniakan olehNYA, nukilan saya berjaya mencuri perhatian pemilik Redmummy.com lalu terpilih sebagai Pemenang Utama.

Kepada pembaca setia blog Redmummy.com yang sama-sama menyahut cabaran Red Diva @ Sang Ratu Kerajaan Merah Berdaulat dalam pertandingan impromtu ini, tahniah juga kepada kalian semua kerana menyokong usaha Red Diva kita.

Semoga gaya karangan saya ini mampu mendorong generasi muda menghayati khazanah budaya sendiri yang semakin hari, makin luput.

Saya akhiri nukilan saya ini dengan penuh rasa syukur kehadratNYA kerana memberikan saya peluang ini untuk merasa nikmat sebagai pemenang utama. Alhamdulillah.

Buat pengelola pertandingan, terima kasih memberikan peluang kepada saya menggerakkan otak dan pemikiran saya dalam waktu libur lebaran. Didoakan semua rakyat yang setia di Kerajaan Merah Berdaulat sentiasa didalam rahmatNYA.

Jazakallahu Khair

1st Syawal 1429H

2008-10-03T10:13:00.006+08:00

Salam my readers :) *adeke?

1st day of Syawal, rasenye routine same kot.. I mule sambut dari masuk waktu Maghrib 1 Syawal (30 Sept), Of kos mula sambutan dengan berbuka puasa terakhir, lepas tu pasang 2 radio *tak termasuk tv - sebab TV my dad dah conquer* semata-mata nak dengar Takbir *padahal ade surau kat belakang umah bertakbir also* ye lah, Syawal ni disambut bukanlah dengan lagu2 raya, tapi dengan puji-pujian untukNYA. Dalam Quran ok dah mention.

Lepas solat Maghrib, I dah salam2 raya dgn my parents. Wanted to be the first one to do so dis year *sayu aje, esp bile diberi pesanan2 dan wasiat2*

Ok la, Malam raye jugak I masak kuah kacang dan Asam Pedas Ikan Pari. Tapi Alhamdulillah, tahun ni, by kul 11 tu dah settle dah segala hal di dapur.

Then, attack pulek living room dgn my bro inlaw n my mum's maid. Susun sana, susun sini, siap.

Lepas tu gubah bunge, 3 pasu, eh 4. Tahun ni my mum insist beli bunga artificial, she's bored with apa yang ada. So few days before kami ke Balakong beli bunga BORONG gitu. Nantik i snap2 gamba ye. Later I add on. Earlier in the day, I telah ke FLORISTIKA untuk beli stok fresh flowers dgn budget rm50. So, got bunga2 yang simple aje, orchids and chrysenthemums only. Than lama bunga2 ni kalau jaga. Koser nak feels feels roses english garden bagai.

Ok, kirenye lepas settle tu, maids pun dah ZZZ, tinggal I sorang. My mum dah tido awal lagi dah. I apa lagi, konon2 nak mandi la b4 tido kan, hor ley.. terZZZ terus. hehe.

Terkejut jam 5.19 pagi. Huhu. Terus lah bergegas buat ape yang patut dan lepas tu dapat solat Subuh. Then I had a ketupat with my kuah kacang utk alas perut. At about 7-ish, terus rush pegi kubur my grandparents and my niece kat Kg Tunku. Ramai gak dah datang. Mcm last year, when I got there, diorang baru bukak pagar. So I spent about 45 minutes kat kubur.

Ini arwah my niece yang berusia 12 hari punye final resting place. Al Fatihah untuk semua arwah-arwah yang dah meniggalkan kita semua. Jangan tak tau, kita pun akan ikut serta jugek, ANYTIME without us realising it.
Balik dari kubur, TUKAR BAJU ye. hehe. I pg kubur pakai baju masa wedding my sis. Changed into my baju raya, kain beli kat Solo, samping dari Imran's. Rush off to Masjid Kolej Islam PJ. Org lain puasa turun, I lak opposite. Alhamdulillah. :)

Sesampai kat Masjid, Alhamdulillah, dapat parking dalam kawasan Masjid. Tup2 my sister plak menjelma sebelah. Hehe. Kuasa ALLAH kan? So, kami pun head into the mosque. Buat Solat Tahiyatul Masjid, then sambung Takbir.

Seronok rasa dapat takbir ni. Tapi biarlah segala apa berkenaan takbir ni jadi between me and HIM only.

So, solat Eid started at about 8.30 pagi followed by the Khutbah. I suka khutbah Eid kali ni. Its all about HOW EID IS SUPPOSED TO BE CELEBRATED. betul gak, Eid dah terlalu commercial dan byk sgt pengaruh ya ha wau dal ya. Jadik hedonistik. Seb baik ade Astro Oasis dan jugek TV 9.Lepas solat Eid, spotted mamat neh. Syahrul Fithri nama dia, colleague I. Pagi raya kat sini, petang zoooom ke Melaka katanya. Best gak jumpe familiar face lepas solat Eid.
Ni my nephew, dia sambut besday ke 7 on 1st Syawal (1st Oct) Ni kat dalam keter Abah dia, park sebelah keter I kat Masjid.

Pose pose lepas solat Eid dalam keter.

Satu nasihat kepada mereka yang nak buat program Eid untuk masa depan: Lebihkan content PENGERTIAN EID itu sendiri. Walaupun variety show. Tone down the programmes. I may blog about this later. Agaknye sebab ini kot, I just dont bother to watch TV raya ni.

Anyways, People started coming over at about noon - sampaila ke awal petang.

Oh ye, My mum was demam. Masa I blk dr kubur, my mum mengadu, dia demam. So, I told her toksah busy2 dah, pegi rst aje, balik Solat I cd settle stuffs. Tapi Mak Mak kan, masa I balik eventho dia dah siap, she still was doing this and that. Lepas my dad's fren balik, lepas tu dia rasa mmg tak sihat sgt dah. She slept dari kul 1 lebih sampai kul 4 lebih. Never b4 mcm ni. Org dtg pun dia tak kisah. Risau tau. Tapi lepas tu kejutkan dia slow2, suruh dia minum air and makan lagi panadol. Alhamdulillah dia ok sket la lepas tu. She continued resting sampai malam.
Ni lepas breakfast dgn my sis nye family, before my mum retired and ZZZ'd thru the day. Meriah gak ek lauk pauk ek? Notice the Kekwa on the dressing table tu?

The rest of the day was spent on Facebook (HAHAHA) dgn Mahathir kat Bintulu. Kami 2 orang jer yang online. Cheh DEENA! kate nak online LATE NIGHT..! tapi I paham, u ol semua sure busy dgn sdare mare u ols, spouses, kids etc. :)

Keseluruhannye, eh eh, i baru terperasan, lepas Maghrib (2 Syawal) I terus ZZZ !!! hehe. Letih jugek jadi teraju utama. Tapi, I have to Thank ALLAH sebab memudahkan segala kerja Eid ni.
Letih tu letih, but sangat puas sebab ape?

Lauk almost habis - this never happened b4 kat umah ni
the usual crowd datang - merapatkan kembali relations
Alhamdulillah, walaupun my mum was down, K.O demam, I managed to hold the fort. Thank GOD my bro arrived dr Melaka to take over kerja I layan orang - imagine layan orang sambil masuk kua dapur. I pose2 dapur je lepas tu.
I know ada hamba ALLAH ni seronok dgn baju raya dia. :)
*adelah, between me and HIM*

I had a great 1 Syawal. Alhamdulillah.

Jazakallahu Khair

Eid Greetings :)

2008-09-30T11:47:00.006+08:00

Yang tidak mungkin akan berulang
Maklumlah, Demi masa, manusia itu selalu dalam kerugian

Semoga dapatlah bertemu Ramadan hadapan
Semoga diizinkan, dimakbulkan segala doa serta harapan

Sempena menyambut Syawal kali ini
Diri yang penuh khilaf ini
Memohon ampun, dan maaf
Diri ini turut memaafkan

Semoga kita semua dalam peliharaanNYA.

29 Ramadan

2008-09-29T06:16:00.003+08:00

Dah 29 Ramadan.

This year hujung Ramadan paling best so far. Esp bila my 2nd eldest bro dtg dr Melaka dgn askar2 dia. Riuh rumah my mum. My dad n mum look so happy - walaupun I know diorang tak larat.

God Is Great. Ini la nikmat Ramadan yang I never before experienced, especially hari ni, I rasa la, 1st time jemaah subuh kat umah mak.

So, bagaimana pencapaian kita Ramadan kali ni. Walaupun buku akaun tu ALLAH je yang mengetahui, harap2 o la markahnye dan boleh maintain till next Ramadan.

Fasting is not just to refrain from eating during day time, tapi macam2 lagi. Orang kata pembersih jiwa - I say yes. Very subjective actually.

Ramadan is also about sharing and caring and loving and paling utama, bersyukur kepadaNYA. Dalam Quran banyak sekali mention about manusia itu sering tidak bersyukur. As for me, Ramadan is the best time to mula reflect diri sendiri dan bersyukur atas segala nikmat - besau, sedang mahupun yang kecik nikmat yang ALLAH kurnia pada kita. ALLAHUAKBAR. SUBHANALLAH.

So, dah 29 hari. Walaupun ade sehari lagi atau punlast day hari ni of Ramadan, its ok to be excited for Eid *esp utk mereka yang betul2 appreciate Ramadan dan practicenye* tapi marila kita belajar kontrol diri. Moderation *sini I nak remind myself jugak - adekala i overshoot gak 'moderation' i. hehe* is the key.

So, selamat menjalani hari ke 29 Ramadan 1429.

Jazakallahu Khair

2008-09-07T12:46:00.004+08:00

Me berbuka kat luar? haha. Ekceli kirekan macam nak kurengkan, banyak la sebab musababnye. Salah satu, I nak spend time dgn my parents, I kan bongsu, so pepaham la, lagi pun depa dah in their 70's. Syukur kehadratNYA they are still around this Ramadan.

Pagi ni my fren ade pass kat i poster kecik bawah ni, hmm.. menurut beliau, makanannye fantastic. Wallahualam, tapi coming from him yang sangat picky about food, well, it should be good. Maybe I should try it out jugek kot?

So to right brainers berbuka commitee, kalau korang directed to my blog dari thread FB, so korang diskas2 la, yang penting, we can do our duties to HIM and get together bersama2.

So, ini cadangan aje... its up to you guys. Sambil berbuka, dapat gak ber'charity'. hehe

p.s: Shikin, nanti meme awak tu akan dibuat pretty soon.. i tgh usha my most JORJOS photos.. hiks~

Gunakan sebaiknya
Setiap ketika
Jangan kita alpa
Ganjarannya jangan ditanya

Looks like blog ni pun nak kene revamp. Blog ni la ni ambil konsep ala2 blog kawan2 I, namely LKY dan Akak Diva Merah juge tak lupe Tuan Manager. Sape nak tolong I revamp?? hehe.

Masa untuk buat penghijrahan.

Kisah diri sendiri, anekdot seharian, pendapat, insya ALLAH ade la jugak bahan2 akademia, portfolio kreatif. Tapi bila nak mula tu, Wallahualam. Bila digerakkanNYA. Insya ALLAH.

Saya juga suka konsep: I WRITE U READ. hehe. Ye la kan, takkan I nak dictate ape orang soh i tulis kannn??

Anyways, back to Ramadan.

As I see it, Ramadan ni bulan barakah. Bulan yang dikurniakan macam2 tanda kasih ALLAH kepada umat Muhammad SAW. Kenapa saya kata tanda kasih ALLAH? sebab DIA bagi kita peluang tebus diri kita. Dia bagi sebulan untuk focus padaNYA. Mana tidaknya, Malam 1 Ramadan kita dah terawih, 8 rakaat ke, 20 rakaat ke, bulan-bulan lain tak de kita dapat mcm ni. Ramadan je la dapat kita serahkan diri kita, hati kita bulat bulat padaNYA, Insya ALLAH. Bayangkan 30 malam dah dapat berapa rakaat? But jangan la pulak lupa yang 5 tu. Ini peringatan untuk diri saya sendiri jugek. Apa-apapun, lakukan seikhlas hati. Buat masuk buku akaun untuk bekalan masa depan. Tak payah la motivasikan diri dengan 'ganjaran tertentu pada malam tertentu', mengapa? kerana ALLAH pasti akan memberikan sesuatu yang baik, insyaALLAH. Wallahualam.

Bukan setakat tu, digalakkan bertadarus. Membaca ayat-ayatNYA yang diturunkan dalam BULAN RAMADAN juga. Mengingatkan diri sendiri akan hukum hakam serta kehendakNYA daripada kita. Selain dari membaca dalam bahasa Arab yang asal, Terjemahannya pun elok dibaca, supaya kita tahu apa yang hendak disampaikan. Pada saya, itu satu anugerah ALLAH yang menjadikan pelbagai bangsa dan bahasa dan diizinNYA ayat-ayatNYA dialih bahasa. At least we get rough idea. Tapi sebaiknya, kalau kita boleh faham bahasa Al Quran tu sendiri. Semoga saya dapat memahami ayat-ayatNYA - secara langsung- suatu hari kelak. Amin.

Ramadan ni juge bulan Rezeki. Ish, banyak betul nikmatNYA bila datang Ramadan kan?

*CHOP* jom kita sama2 sebut

SUBHANALLAH WALHAMDULILLAH
LA ILAHAILALLAH ALLAHU AKBAR !!!

Bulan rezeki sebab ape? Dapat buat xtra pocket money *lala - I jual kuih Raye tawwww - nantikan entry yang akan menyusul* Dapat rasa macam2 juadah , Dapat solat terawih, Dapat bayau Zakat Fitrah dan Dapat menyambut Eid, hari kemenangan kita kontrol diri kita selama sebulan. Dan selepas Eid? mohon ALLAH peliharalah usaha usaha kita Ramadan ni sehingga tiba Ramadan sekali lagi. Insya ALLAH. Amin.

Siapalah diri kita ni ye? Seperti saya, yang dilahirkan Islam, sebaiknya saya gunakan peluang yang diberi setahun sekali ini sebaik-baiknya. Belum tentu kita dapat jumpe Ramadan tahun depan. Itu adalah hakikat ketentuanNYA. Apa2 pun, ALLAH Maha Mengetahui apa yang terbit dalm hati kita. So, kalau ade yang kata saya ni alim kucing ke, ape ke, tq la. Sebab, saya pakai kasut saya sendiri, so saya tahu saiz kasut saya. Saya tak perlu nak 'mencuba' kasut orang lain, sebab saya takde hak pun, walaupun dah mintak izin. Kaki manusia ni takde dua yang serupa. Eh, melalut lak. hehe.

Its all about me. Semua perihal diri saya yang seadanya. Dah lama tak datang angin nak tup tap keyboard macam ni. Semoga Ramadan tahun ini lebih baik dari yang sebelumnya. Amin.

Kebetulan, Malam ni saya chat dengan kawan lama masa kat Art n Design ITM dulu. Dia ade hamper raya. Lawa dan vasss sekali hamper2nya.

Reminiscing

2008-04-22T21:47:00.003+08:00

Salam. Have not blogged for some time. Busy gile.

Anyways, 2 nights ago I did a small get-together in honor of Kak Rose, my kakak angkat in Edinburgh. She is here following her husband, Abg Duncan who has some business meetings to attend to.

And, so, one of the people who attended is Mahmud. He was introduced to me by Rashid. We clicked during our hey-days at Edinburgh. And so, Mahmud would be flying back to Edin tomoro night, as his Viva would be on the 30th.

When the whole lot of people gathered of kos la all old story resurface kan? huhu.

Reminiscing

Kebab Mahal, Abass from Bismillah Halal Shop, Palmyra, Nasi Masjid semua jadi bahan bualan, not to mention Park Chung Hing, Rumah di Leith and other hangouts. Gosh.

Like I mentioned to Jess on YM earlier this evening, I wonder how did i survive. I owe it all to ALLAH. He sustained me. Entah la, as human being, aku rasa aku sendiri x cukup bersyukur, ALLAH keeps on giving and giving, but apa I buat to pay back? huhuhu

uhuhuh.. at times I wish i cud just fly back to Edinburgh, just to jalan2. Tapi I just have this feeling, that, I would not set foot again there. Wallahualam.

Of Emotions and The Hijab

2008-03-30T06:33:00.002+08:00

Assalamualaikum

Who believes in astrology? I dont, but at one point of my life, it did interest me, and I was reading forecasts and so on. Astaghfirullahalazim! How astray can one get? curious katanya.

Anyway, being a piscean, it is said that pisceans are EMOTIONAL. I guess it's just a coincidence. I've been on a highly-charged emotional status this past week. So many things happened that lead me to be a nightmare and a super DQ. LKY, u think u saje boleh DQ? I also can ok! :P but die la, My DQness is at my workplace. God, I should want to omit this state of DQness?, it is not that I am not bersyukur for it (should I be? - I should, because that is me)

I was super upset with some people under my seliaan. Gosh, pepagi buta ni otak tak jalan sket.. hehe. Shim does not seem to meet my expectation, and shim never try. Sad. I always know that people like shim are GK's (Gila Koaser) and after 3 years at uni, would know how to basically organise his or her department and things that comes as a package with it. NOOO!! shim did not show anything at all. Its just play play play for shim. It's all about being a lady on Friday nights, on the podium at La Queen, and of course, being an entourage to the reigning MW. Shim would probably think of being a PA rather than studying and making people's life miserable.

I'm being very HB innit? *die la female dog* Well, I just have got to get it out of the system so that I could start the week FRESH.

I was being EMO with this whole group of artistes wannabes. Just a YEAR after I had introduced expensive materials for their use to help them act and be apart of other people seemd to have drowned into the drain. Well, they opted to have their faces flattened by stage lights - then, go ahead. Ity's their show and not mine. HAHA. I bloody felt frustrated with them. I just left them in a lurch after not being happy with what I see. It is not THEM! it's just not them not to show enthusiasm and getting excited over things, especially when it comes to building their alter ego for the stage. Sad lah, Im SO SAD!

So, what ever ajelah. If I dont feel like it, I wont feel like it. I dont want to be a hypocrite. I would just IGNORE these people till my sengalness go away. And I wonder when? 14th April? HAHAHA!

Oh yes, Im still very much in an emotional state now. Im not touching on this issue as it involves some people's privacy. But I just want to thank him for letting me know. I am so honored to know of the news. Full stop.

Of HIJABS.

Was browsing a friend's facebook account. Saw pictures of him doing his Umrah. Saw picture of his wife in hijab and all I could say is, women look better in hijabs rather than having their hair go free.

Ning's wedding saw friends and relatives of Ning in Hijab, they look exceptionally stunning. When I did Sirah, all the women folk had hijabs on, and they look so pretty. The power of hijabs :)

That's my point of view.

SIRAH JUNJUNGAN

2008-03-24T01:08:00.008+08:00

Assalamualaikum WM.

I was involved dengan production SIRAH JUNJUNGAN, directed by Erma Fatima @ Istana Budaya from the 19th - 23rd of March.

some blurry stills of the performance from side stage

I must say, sepanjang pelayaran saya dengan produksi ni. saya banyak bermuhasabah diri dan belajar untuk menjadi lebih ikhlas dengan diri sendiri dan ALLAH.

Produksi ini juga bagai satu rahmat dari ALLAH buat diri saya yang kerdil dan hina. Saya terlalu banyak alpa dalam hal agama. Terlalu banyak hutang piutang saya denagn ALLAH SWT dan juga RasulNYA, Muhammad SAW.

Mereka kostum sekaligus menyediakan kostum untuk produksi ini bukan satu perkara yang mudah. Saya tidak ingin menyatakan apa-apa, tetapi amat bersyukur dengan segala KEMUDAHAN dan JALAN yang ditunjukNYA kepada saya. Dari proses penvisualan kostum, ke proses mencari bahan serta proses pembuatan, walaupun ada dugaannya, namun, atas kehendakNYA semua berjalan lancar.

Maka benarlah firman ALLAH dalam surah Al Baqarah ayat 286, dimana ALLAH berfirman:

Allah tidak membebani seseorang melainkan sesuai dengan kesanggupannya. Ia mendapat pahala (dari kebajikan) yang diusahakannya dan mendapat siksa (dari kejahatan) yang dikerjakannya. (Mereka berdo'a): "Ya Rabb kami, janganlah Engkau hukum kami jika kami lupa atau kami bersalah. Ya Rabb kami, janganlah Engkau bebankan kepada kami beban yang berat sebagaimana Engkau bebankan kepada orang-orang yang sebelum kami. Ya Rabb kami, janganlah Engkau pikulkan kepada kami apa yang tak sanggup kami memikulnya. Beri maaflah kami; ampunilah kami; dan rahmatilah kami. Engkaulah Penolong kami, maka tolonglah kami terhadap kaum yang kafir". (QS. 2:286)

Subhanallah. MAsya ALLAH. Alhamdulillah atas rahmatNYA dan izinNYA, segala berjalan lancar. Alahmdulillah kerana ALLAH mengurniakan pembantu2 yang tak terucap terima kasih saya kepada mereka:

Siu, Intan, Emma, Wazi @ Volks. Dari IB: Lilie, Suriani, Kak Ekin, Kak Ipah, Abg Nas, Kak Nita, Sobi, Fara, tak lupa Encik Badrulzaman dll. Tak juga pada Kak Paridah, Faiz dan Awin.

Wazi fixing Elly Suriati's Hijab

Tak lupa juga pada Lan Abet, Khairi @ Daus, Royz serta mereka yang telah tolong saya secara langsung atau tidak dalam beberapa perkara. Tukang2 jahit saya Kak Saemah, Tini dan Loli. Juga kepada Kenchana yang banyak memberikan pandangan dan saranan.

Hanya ALLAH yang dapat membalas segala jasa kalian kepada saya dan produksi SIRAH JUNJUNGAN. Sesungguhnya, kata- kata Kak Erma serta persoalan beliau tentang apa sumbangan kita kepada Rasulullah SAW, menjadi pegangan saya selama produksi ini berjalan. Semoga semangat ingatkan ALLAH dan RasulNYA akan sentiasa disanubari dan menjadi inspirasi untuk mencapai tujuan hidup yang haqiqi. Di mana saya sendiri masih mencari walaupun jauh di sudut hati, sudah ku tahu apakah yang dicari itu.

Saya juga harus mempenakan ucapan terima kasih kepada Cikgu Amy Rhaphor yang mencadangkan nama saya kepada Kak Erma, sesungguhnya, ia ibarat bulan jatuh ke riba.

Buat Kak Erma, terima kasih kerana memberi peluang dan kepercayaan kepada saya untuk melaksanakan tanggungjawab ini. Kecekalan Akak dan passion Akak untuk menjayakan teater ini amat memberikan saya inspirasi. Saya rasa, saya 'the chosen one'. Sehingga detik ini, hati pasti sayu mengenangkan perjuangan Rasulullah. Bait bait kata dari Sang Pencerita juga masih terngiang-ngiang, terutama doa penutup persembahan. Thanks Kak Erma :)

Some of the character costumes for the production

Sesungguhnya, ALLAH telah merencanakan semuanya. ALLAH telah menentukan segalanya, maka ucapan terima kasih yang paling tidak terhingga, paling ternilai, paling terpaling paling paling tinggi adalah untukMU ya ALLAH. Maha Mengetahui yang mengetahui segala isi hati, Maha Pengasih, Maha Penyayang akan hambaNYA walaupun hambaNYA itu sering alpa. Sesungguhnya, KAU Maha Mengasihani. Terima kasih kerana telah memilih diri yang hina ini melaksanakan tanggungjawab dakwah saya sebagai hambaMU. Inilah yang termampu untuk saya berikan, kudrat dan jiwa saya, dalam mengenang RasulMU. Melalui Rasulullah SAW lah agamu menjadi peganganku.

IRHAMNA YA RAHMAN YA RAHIM

General Elections 2008

2008-03-08T12:05:00.003+08:00

Alhamdulillah. I just got back from the polling station.

My first time ever! hehe

I even dreamt about it last night! That must be how excited I was about doing my part as a citizen.

It was great to have checked the daftar pemilih online, so, within minutes, I was done, and so were my parents.

As I stepped into station 8, I passed my IC to the person incharge. I then gave her my serial number to speed up th eprocess, and then she called out my serial number, name and IC number. I moved on further down the line and got my two slips of the kertas undi *darn what is it in english? - voting? blotting? ARGH!* - one in orange and another in ochre, and proceeded to the pop up cubicle. After PANGKOHING *ekekeke* who'm I chose, the ballot papers were then *AHAAAA!! BALLOT PAPERS!! KAKAKAKA* posted into *can i say POSTED or what? die!* the respective perspect boxes. VOILA! im done!

This is one thing I wont forget :) - first timers are indeed something for us to remember for the rest of our lives :)

I hope whoever is elected for my area, DUN Bukit Gasing and PARLIMEN Petaling Jaya Selatan would do better in serving the community this coming term.

Azmil Mustafa's Interview

2008-02-27T18:23:00.004+08:00

Got this in my email. Worth reading and let us ponder upon it. I actually felt like crying after reading it. God, help me.

Rumusan

1.Azmil Umur 55 baru nak belajar ARAB dan jihadnya menuntut ilmu mmg hebat.
2.Allah membantu insan yang berjihad
3.Kenapa di Malaysia pendidikan Islam tidak ditekankan, malahan di Syria percuma
4.Budaya memberi sangat tinggi dan itu memang kelebihan orang Arab.
5.Pengaruh luaran menyebabkan anak rosak tetapi di Syria budaya yang Islamic mencorak hidup anak tersebut.
6.Di Syria mereka beramal dengan Islam bukan sekadar bercakap contohnya: kaum lelaki mereka menghormati kaum hawa.
7.Bacalah dan banyak pengajarannya memang kita amat jauh berbanding dengan mereka.

ALLAH MELIHAT APA YANG KAMU BUAT - AZMIL MUSTAFA

Written by Siti Mashitah
Sunday, 03 February 2008

APABILA disebut nama Azmil Mustapha , majoriti generasi muda tidak akan dapat mengecam siapa orangnya. Tetapi sebut saja Ali Setan , 'berkat' daripada siaran ulangan filem tersebut di kaca televisyen , semua orang tidak kira yang kecil atau dewasa dari kalangan peminat filem Melayu pasti mengenal pelakon tersohor Malaysia dekad 80-an ini. Azmil, 55 (umur yang dikira beliau mengikut takwim hijri 22 Safar 1375H) adalah antara sebilangan artis di Malaysia yang melakukan 'penghijrahan' daripada kehidupan yang penuh 'lagha' kepada pengabdian diri kepada Allah. Penampilan terakhirnya adalah sebagai Pengiran Demak dalam filem 'Puteri Gunung Ledang'; watak yang diilakonkan setelah syarat-syaratnya yang ketat diterima penerbit. Duda (mempunyai seorang anak dengan bekas isteri pertama dan empat dengan isteri kedua) dari Shah Alam, Selangor ini telah musafir ke Syria sejak setahun lalu untuk mempelajari bahasa Arab dan ilmu agama. Wartawan Global Media Channel (GMC) berkesempatan menemuramah Azmil di Kota Bharu (beliau kembali ke Malaysia sempena cuti semester pengajiannya) yang hadir memenuhi undangan untuk menyampaikan ceramah kesedaran Islam anjuran PAS Kawasan Ketereh baru-baru ini.

Kenapa saudara memilih untuk ke Syria?
Saya buat solat hajat, minta dengan Allah, saya nak cari tempat belajar, Allah berikan petunjuk belajar di Syria. Dengan duit yang saya dapat dari menyampaikan ceramah-ceramah kesedaran Islam sebelum itu di Malaysia, saya terbang ke Syria dengan anak-anak saya.
Saya belajar Bahasa Arab di Maahad Taalim Lughatal Arabiah Lil Ajnabi (Institut Pengajian Bahasa Arab Bagi Orang Asing).Kalau saya terus masuk kelas (pengajian agama) anjuran syeikh-syeikh pun saya tak reti Bahasa Arab. Jadi saya belajar Bahasa Arab dahulu. Sementara itu saya belajar Al-Quran, tajwid dan tasmi' dengan syeikh-syeikh. Saya juga belajar dengan pelajar-pelajar Malaysia yang ada di Syria.

Sejak bila sebenarnya saudara ke sana ?
Sudah setahun. Saya pergi redah sahaja. Tak ada buat rancangan. Dengan empat orang anak saya turut bersama (tiga perempuan dan seorang lelaki). Yang sulung kemudiannya balik untuk mengambil peperiksaan Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) di sini. Jadi kekallah tiga orang yang tinggal bersama saya di sana.
Anak saya Noramalia Batrisya ,15, dan Mohd. Bazli Shafri, 13, belajar di Jami' Abu Nur, sebuah kolej Islam antara yang termasyhur di Syria. Yang kecil baru masuk umur tujuh tahun dan belajar di darjah satu. Enam bulan pertama mereka dimasukkan dalam kelas bahasa Arab. Tidak ada masalah untuk mereka mengikuti pengajian dan sekarang sudah fasih berbahasa Arab. Saya amat puas hati dengan perkembangan mereka.

Puas hati macam mana?
Dengan perubahan perwatakan. Di Malaysia, dekat Shah Alam tempat kami tinggal dahulu banyak pengaruh yang tidak sihat. Cara hidup moden . Tapi di sana mereka mengaji Quran tiap-tiap hari, solat tidak tinggal dan pergaulan dijaga.
Malah mereka sempat menasihati kakak yang pulang ke Malaysia "jangan tengok lelaki" bukan berkawan, tengok pun mereka tak bagi.
Di sana pergaulan antara lelaki dan perempuan amat dibatasi. Kita payah nak lihat pergaulan secara bebas berlaku . Duduk satu meja pun tak ada.
Kalau di Yaman, negeri yang berjiran dengan Syria, dalam bas kalau hanya ada seorang wanita yang menjadi penumpang , yang lelaki tidak akan naik dan sanggup tunggu bas yang lain datang untuk dinaiki. Bimbang timbul fitnah walaupun hanya sebagai penumpang. Masing-masing sangat prihatin untuk menjaga perkara ini.
Antara perubahan yang ketara saya dapat lihat adalah pada anak perempuan saya, Noramaliya. Dia sebenarnya pelajar yang lemah. Semasa bersekolah di Malaysia, biasanya dia mendapat kedudukan 35 ke bawah.
Dulu tinggal di Shah Alam, dia selalu ponteng sekolah. Tengok wayang di KLCC.
Pergi ke sekolah tapi dalam beg ada pakaian lain untuk ditukar. Itu dah memang menjadi tabiat pelajar sekolah di Malaysia.
Sampai di Syria, dia jadi pelajar yang terbaik. Padahal dalam kelas ada pelajar-pelajar luar negara yang lain seperti dari England, Afrika Selatan, Kazakhstan , China dan lain-lain. Dia yang muncul pelajar terbaik

Bagaimana saudara menyara kehidupan di Syria?
Tidak ada pendapatan tetap tapi saya sangat bernasib baik kerana mendapat bantuan. Saya diberi tempat tinggal percuma oleh seorang Syeikh di sebuah apartmen di pinggir Damsyik. Saya akui duit pun tak banyak tapi diam tak diam sudah sampai setahun saya di sana dan tidak timbul sebarang masalah besar.
Kita kena yakin rezeki itu datang daripada Allah. Ada saja duit yang masuk. Sentiasa ada bantuan diterima kerana saya dan anak-anak dikira orang yang sedang menuntut ilmu.
Malah ia sampai ke tahap saya kadang kala terpaksa buang makanan yang diberi oleh jiran kerana terlampau banyak.
Dan di sana kita yang pergi belajar dengan Syeikh ini bukan kita yang membayar Syeikh tapi mereka pula yang memberi duit pada kita. Perkara ini sudah jadi kebiasaan orang Syria . Jika tidak pun, dia akan beri kita roti setiap kali pergi belajar. Pergi solat Jumaat pun dapat duit. Budaya memberi amat dititikberatkan. Paling kurang, yang dewasa akan menyediakan gula-gula dalam poket untuk diberi kepada kanak-kanak.
Saya juga terkejut kerana kadang-kadang menerima sumbangan yang nilainya mencecah RM1000. Kalau yang kaya lebih lagilah mereka sumbangkan. Anak kepada Syeikh yang menyediakan rumah percuma untuk saya pernah menyumbang jutaan ringgit kepada fakir miskin dalam bulan Ramadhan.

Kenapa saudara fikir perubahan-perubahan positif sama ada kepada anak atau saudara sendiri boleh berlaku? Adakah perbezaan antara Syria dan Malaysia ini begitu ketara sekali sedangkan kedua-duanya adalah bumi orang Islam?
Bumi Syria ini ada kelebihan. Saya daripada kecil sampai besar memang belajar di sekolah yang tidak berasaskan kepada Islam. Saya menuntut di dua buah sekolah mubaligh Kristian iaitu La Salle Institution dan St John Institution. Dari situ saya menyambung pula pelajaran ke Indiana University di Amerika. Daripada kecil sehingga dewasa, saya tidak pernah belajar dan khatam al-Quran.
(Di Amerika , Azmil belajar dengan pengkhususan dalam penerbitan televisyen, radio dan filem. Beliau hanya tinggal tiga lagi jam kredit untuk dihabiskan sebelum dihantar pulang ke Malaysia oleh Jabatan Imigresen Amerika. Tindakan itu diambil ketika Amerika membuat penapisan orang-orang Islam dari negara luar berikutan kemenangan kumpulan Islam (Syiah) menjatuhkan kerajaan beraja Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Azmil dikesan bekerja sambilan walaupun syarat hanya membenarkan pelajar luar yang mempunyai 12 kredit atau lebih sahaja untuk berbuat demikian. Ayahnya Dato' Mustapha Kamil Yassin, bekas pensyarah di Universiti Malaya dan Universiti Sains Malaysia tidak mahu Azmil mengambil biasiswa kerana kedudukannya sebagai kakitangan kerajaan gred A
Mula-mula saya berubah dulu nak baca surah al- Fatihah pun tak boleh. Kena baca mengikut tulisan rumi. Nak sembahyang semua ayat kena ditulis ke huruf rumi. Tak pernah dapat hafal. Sehinggalah apabila saya ke Syria.
Di sana, anak-anak saya belajar Al-Quran dengan seorang syeikhah (ustazah) di rumahnya. Selepas sebulan syeikhah tersebut datang melawat ke rumah. Dia mahu melihat keadaan keluarga macam mana. Bila datang dia meminta saya mengajar anak-anak. Dia suruh saya baca satu surah. Bila "check" ayah baca pun tak betul, dia pun minta anak muridnya yang lain tolong ajarkan anak-anak saya.
Tapi alhamdulillah berkat mengaji tiap-tiap pagi, kini saya sudah boleh menghafal satu, dua muka surat dengan senang. Ini memang saya pelik. Saya rasa ini memang kesan tinggal di bumi Syam (Syria), bumi para anbiya'.
Dahulu negara ini tertutup. Sebab ia mengikut pengaruh Rusia. Jadi negara lain menyisihkannya. Apabila Syria disisihkan, ia sebenarnya terselamat.
Macam di Malaysia, apabila dibuat dasar terbuka, semua pengaruh dapat masuk, ia merosakkan kita.
Budak-budak sekarang budaya sendiri pun tak kenal . Dan dia tak mahu ikut. Dia lebih seronok ikut budaya asing, budaya Barat. Budaya ini di Melayukan dengan bahasa. Tapi isinya tetap dari pengaruh yang menyimpang dari ajaran Islam.

Adakah kerana saudara bimbangkan keadaan begini sehingga sanggup membawa anak-anak jauh dari Malaysia ?

Sebab benda inilah saya bawa anak-anak keluar. Bila saya bawa anak-anak keluar, ada kawan-kawan yang tegur saya " Jadi anak kamu ini tidak ada SPM. Macam man nak cari kerja?" Saya jawab balik, "Rezeki itu kerana Allah bukan kerana SPM". Orang ada SPM pun berlambak tak ada kerja. Ada ijazah UM pun tak ada kerja. Ada Master USM pun tak kerja. Kita kena ingat rezeki itu dari Allah.
Sekarang anak-anak saya sudah hafal Juzuk Amma. Saya percaya dalam tiga empat tahun lagi, Insya Allah satu Quran tu dpat habis dihafal. Itu lebih berharga. Kalau dia jadi arkitek atau jurutera tapi Quran pun tak tahu buat apa. Macam saya dulu jadi pengarah filem tapi Quran pun tak tahu, buat apa?

Memberi pendidikan Islam pada anak-anak sehingga sampai berhijrah ke Syria. Orang lain mungkin tak berpeluang berbuat demikian macam saudara.?
Saya rasa kalau kita ajar anak kita cara Islam tak ada kekurangannya bagi saya. Malahan Allah mungkin akan mecurahkan kemudahan kepadanya.
Sekarang kita kongsi raya, kia kongsi hukum, kongsi taraf atau standard Islam dengan yang lain. Kita membandingkan ajaran Islam dengan yang Barat. Kalau tak seperti Barat, kita anggap standard kurang. Kita campur aduk hukum Allah dengan hukum kafir. Inilah yang saya nampak masalah kita pada hari ini.
Ini pun nak berlaku di Syria pada hari ini. Kalau di negara kita lama dah dijajah 500 tahun dahulu dan kita masih 'terjajah'. Syria ini dia baru terbuka tak sampai 10 tahun. Jadi generasi dia sekarang dia baru rosak. Kalau kita di Malaysia, kerosakan bermula sejak dari generasi bapa kita dahulu. Mareka agungkan England dan Amerika.
Tetapi bagi saya , kalau orang Syria nak ikut barat pun, agaknya kena juga dengan fizikal mereka itu. Tapi kita Melayu pun nak mata warna biru, rambut warna perang. Tak kenalah. Nampak janggal sangat kalau yang Melayu nak tiru.

Bagaimana kita hendak menghadapi perubahan budaya sebegitu ?
Di Syria, guru-guru yang pegangannya kuat masih bertahan. Kita di Malaysia, lebih banyak yang kebaratan daripada Islam. Kita di sini mereka yang nak kepada Islam sedikit, yang nak kepada barat banyak.
Dari sekolah itu yang diajar. Supaya kita bersedia dengan pengaruh dan sistem barat. Sekolah-sekolah kita, tamat persekolahan kita berpeluang belajar sampai ke universiti di Amerika, di England. Tetapi kalau kita keluar dari pondok atau sekolah agama, peluang sambung belajar itu tidak seberapa.
Apa yang kita lakukan adalah untuk menyesuaikan diri kepada budaya barat. Dan ini kita tak sedar. Kita seolah-olah nak menyediakan diri masuk ke institusi dan sistem yang kerap kalinya meruntuhkan jati diri Islam..
Dan yang peliknya, orang tidak bimbang kalau yang keluar tingkatan enam sekolah biasa tak boleh baca Alif Ba Ta. Nak masuk sekolah tahfiz pun payah sebab tak kenal huruf walaupun tamat tingkatan enam. Benda ni dah berlaku sejak zaman dulu lagi dan kita tidak sedar.
Saya cakap kepada seorang sahabat di Syria kenapa kamu ghairah nak buka peluang kepada barat. Saya dah tengok keadaan di negara saya apa yang berlaku. Dia kata mereka pun nak moden. Moden apa? Moden nak tengok anak-anak terbuang di tong sampah. Moden nak tengok anak-anak mati sia-sia kerana terlibat denbgan lumba haram. Itu moden buat apa. Pembangunan sedemikian yang membangun hanya bangunan dan jalan raya. Akhlak runtuh. Akhlak diruntuhkan kerana nak mencantikkan bangunan dan jalan. Sebab itu fikirlah, kerana tak ke mana kita dengan pembangunan sebegitu.

Kenapa remaja dan kita sendiri sebenarnya cenderung untuk meminati budaya hiburan?
Sebab memang sudah disediakan sejak daripada dulu. Pendidikan dan cara hidup disediakan untuk membolehkan anak-anak bersedia menerima sistem yang menyimpang dari bukan untuk menjadi hafiz atau ulama'. Penyediaan dilakukan untuk membawa masyarakat ke arah keseronokan.
Kalau kita tengok babak dalam filem Melayu, babak minum arak , berdansa, sejak dari zaman P Ramlee sudah ada.
Sejak sekolah lagi , anak-anak dibiasakan dengan budaya Barat. Ada sukan gimnastik sampai terkangkang anak-anak diajar guru; sukan renang, jadi separuh bogel. Kita disediakan untuk menerima budaya barat. Mana kita amalkan hukum syariah ? Itu masalah kita.

Pada pandangan saudara, masalah keruntuhan akhlak ini bagaimana nak diselesaikan?
Sekarang kita taat pada hukum yang tidak berpaksikan Islam. Undang-undang yang dimulakan oleh British dahulu. Cuba kita gunakan hukum syariah, saya percaya gejala sosial yang teruk dalam negara dapat dikurangkan sebab kita menyediakan masyarakat untuk ke akhirat. Sekarang kalau membabitkan hukum Allah, ia dikira hak persendirian. Anda hendak buat atau tidak, itu pilihan anda sendiri.Tapi mereka (kerajaan) tak galakkan pun. Itulah masalah sekarang.

Bagaimana kita nak menyedarkan masyarakat?
Islam ini mesti dijalankan bermasyarakat. Tapi tanggungjawab itu tetap pada diri sendiri. Kita sendiri mesti mulakan dahulu . Contohnya kita dilatih berpuasa sama ada di dalam atau dil luar rumah. Walau di mana pun kita tahu Allah melihat.
Sebab itu kita kena buat pilihan. Dua sahaja pilihan kita. Sama ada ikut jalan Allah atau ikut syaitan.Tidak ada jalan tengah. Tidak ada kompromi. Setiap
benda yangt berlaku dalam masyarakat dunia hari ini kita kena buat pilihan antara yang benar dengan yang tidak. Gunakan akal.
Islam ini agama untuk yang tahu berfikir. Bukan taat buta tuli. Kalau kita gunakan akal fikiran baru kita sedar. Kita kena fikir tentang keesaan Allah. Ini yang kita kena ajar anak-anak. Sekarang apa yang diajar kena cari duit banyak-banyak. Bila ikut cara Islam barulah ada keberkatan.

Berbalik kepada dunia hiburan, adakah tidak ada ruang sebenarnya untuk ia menjadi lebih baik?
Boleh kalau industri kita industri yang beriman. Tapi industri kita meniru Bollywood, Hollywood, Hong Kong dan lain-lain. Kita menuju ke arah keruntuhan. Ini yang bahayanya.

Nasihat kepada rakan artis
Pendek sahaja ; Allah melihat apa yang kamu buat.

this article really make me look back at myself.

Double Special thanks to ODA, kawan lama dari tahun '97.

Oda si Guru Catwalk sedang beraksi disuatu petang yang kuyup

Seriously, masa tgk opening tu dari control room, macam tak percaya melihat effort semua finalist yang berlatih bertungkus lumus. Ini first time ooo wa buat opening gambit utk acara beso. And the moment semua atas stage tu, baru la rasa berdebar dubdab tu datang. Al maklum, forte saya more to tradisional. Alhamdulillah, teraplikasi juga segala research.

Dalam GREEN ROOM Audi TAR, MTC Jln Ampang

About the collection lak, macam2 issue yang menerjah kepala, termasuk dari faktor budget dan masa. Idea macam2 untuk Safari ni, tapi banyak mende yang mempengaruhi. Almost buat Afrikan style Tunics (Dashiki). In the end, stick to plan A, simple, rugged, RAW worn tops enhanced with prints of 'SAFARI' animals. Tq to Volks who did the art work and that particular Sunday before I got down with GASTRITIS *yes, I was suffering fro gastritis thru out last week*. Maka, inilah hasilnya, yang when I relaised, It was EXACTLY what Oda mentioned earlier, di mana, konsep HERO kali ni bermula dari PAGI ke MALAM, yep, so kiranya, my costumes for the opening gambit (contestants) is like - erm~ PYJAMAS! hehehe.. Well, the soft cotton tshirts and CALICO shorts *MILLION THANKS to my Tailor who rushed the shorts in such a short notice!!* hehe. Followed by DAY WEAR yang disponsor oleh sapa I x ingat and lastly, an evening wear collection by Wanie, Hatta and Bon Zainal. Pagi ke Malam. hehe. I like!

boleh? Kamal dgn Fizow yang takdok. SABAU AJE LAH JAH!!

So, pada pengakhiran majlis, KAMAL telah dinobatkan sebagai HERO REMAJA 2008, 2nd placing is Fizow and 3rd placing dapat kat Lee. Mr Macho/ Mr Cool dapat kat Idris, Favourite to AM (Adik kepada Che Kiah, dancer PESKA zaman I dulu).

Dekat sini, saya nak ucapkan terima kasih kepada semua finalis yang telah membuatkan saya menitik air mata ketika dalam control room. Effort u ol paid off. Saya ingin pohon ampun dan maaf atas segala kekhilafan dan kekurangan sepanjang saya mengenali saudara2 semua. Kepada pemenang, jaga nama kamu, martabat diri dan keluarga, always portray a positive image as you are the role models of REMAJA of the time. Be an inspiration to others. Selalu ingat dari mana kita datang dan selalu bersyukur. It was a Saturday to remember and ONE OF THE MOST PERFECT BIRTHDAY GIFT for me. Thanks a Zillion guys!

So, nantikan yer, official photos dari MAJALAH REMAJA akan datang!

Semoga ALLAH mencucuri rahmatnya keatas roh Rosli Khamis (Loloq) dan Dato Ishak Baharom (bekas mufti besar negeri Selangor 1985 - 1997). Semoga ditempatkan bersama mereka yang beriman.

This brought me to attention. My end is near. What have I got for myself to bring back and see HIM?.

I have been taking SO many things for granted. I should appreciate and be more thankful, and quoting my senior: At least a good deed a day or make some one happy by just greeting them is 1 goodness. ALLAH would reward even to the smallest atom of good deed we do. And I hope HE would allow me to do many more good deeds. Insya ALLAH.

Mengapa selepas seseorang itu hanya tinggal jasad, baru kita rasa akan kepentingannya? baru kita menghargai apa yang telah dilakukan mereka? Subhanallah.
Adakah sebagai seorang muslim, kita mengharrgai jasa mereka yang sebelum kita, terutama kepada Rasulullah SAW, Kekasih ALLAH? Kita rasa sedih akan kehilangan tokoh atau mereka yang dekat pada kita, namun, bagi mereka yang telah dipilihNYA untuk membawa kita dimana kita berada sekarang? Subhanallah.

Pimpinlah kami hambaMU yang hina. Amin.

AD ALUMNI DINNER

2008-01-27T04:14:00.000+08:00

It was a storm, complete with lighting and thunder and strong wind and I went to the Alumni @ AD Dinner, Lets Sembang ... Nostalgia at the Shah Alam Club last night. Not many from my batch came, only Azli n Rinee.

Met up with quite a number of seniors, super seniors and super duper trooper seniors. Also met Encik Jai and Encik Tajali, my drawing lecturer when I was in Foundation Year. Reminisced a bit about the hey days of Kompleks PKNS :). Kool.

But, the most memorable part of the evening was when I won (FIRST TIME TAU!!!) the lucky draw. Got 4 CD's of Indo Artistes :) Kool :P

My highlight of the evening was not just the food, but meeting up my senior, Jaafar, who is a Fit Technician at a multi national company.

We sat together, ate together and reminiscing old days at the Fashion Department. I offered to send him back to Kpg Baru after the event. So off we went and have coffee at one of the stalls in the make-over of Kpg Baru project.

Whilst having coffee, we spoke our minds on certain things. It was like God sent. Talked over about sooo many things, the system, curriculum, syllabus at the FSH DEPT, lecturers, work and of course life.

Jaafar made interesting remarks on a few things that somehow opened my mind. I am so glad to have met him. To Jaafar, if u r reading this, thank you for ur suggestions and ideas and knowledge. Its hard for me to explain it here due to state of zombieness. May continue esok.. haha.. IF la ..... KANNN?! :P

Gadis Kedah belasah peragut

ALOR STAR 16 Jan. – Seorang gadis yang menjadi mangsa ragut bertindak nekad membelasah lelaki yang cuba melarikan beg tangannya dalam satu kejadian di Kilometer 15, Jalan Putra di sini semalam.

Kejadian berlaku kira-kira pukul 5.30 petang ketika mangsa, Siti Naquiah Kamaruddin, 20, menunggang motosikal Yamaha Ego bersama ibunya, Aishah Adam, 47, dalam perjalanan dari Alor Star ke Padang Besar, Perlis.

Peragut terbabit yang menunggang motosikal Yamaha LC mengekori mangsa dari belakang dan dia dikatakan cuba meragut beg tangan milik Siti Naquiah yang disangkut pada cermin sisi sebelah kanan motosikalnya.

Siti Naquiah yang sedang menunggu keputusan peperiksaan Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) berkata, semasa peragut berbadan gempal itu menarik beg tangannya, kedua-dua motosikal mereka hilang kawalan dan terbabas di tepi jalan.

‘‘Tanpa berlengah saya terus bangun dan melompat ke atas peragut itu dan memijak muka serta badannya.

‘‘Saya memukulnya sehingga orang ramai datang membantu menangkap lelaki itu,” katanya kepada Utusan Malaysia di sini hari ini.

Menurutnya, peragut berkenaan kemudian dibawa oleh orang ramai ke Balai Polis Ayer Hitam dekat sini untuk diserahkan kepada polis.

Siti Naquiah yang pernah mempelajari seni mempertahankan diri di sekolah memberitahu, peragut itu tidak melawan ketika dipukul tetapi ketika dia cuba melarikan diri lelaki berkenaan diberkas oleh orang ramai.

Gadis itu hanya cedera di tangan kanan manakala ibunya luka di lutut kanan akibat terjatuh dari motosikal.

Semasa kejadian, beg tangan mangsa mengandungi dua buah telefon bimbit jenis Nokia N70 dan Motorola V171, wang tunai RM7 serta dokumen peribadi.

GO GURL!! hehehe... Tah la, gila la nowadays!

The first time I heard this was during Ramadhan a few years back, 2003 maybe. A SINETRON from Indonesia. This song is the theme song for that Sinetron, JALAN LAIN KE SANA.

Dari ALLAH kita datang, kepada ALLAH kita kembali.

On the last day of Zulhijjah, I lost a colleague and friend. Azli Mashood. He was a technician with the music department ever since he started work in ITM the last 18 years.

I have lots of fond memories of arwah, mostly when the music department was still part of my faculty. Arwah was always at almost every function i performed or managed.

Arwah was a very cool person, he used to be a dancer as well (that's how I learnt how he met his wife). I think that is how we kinda like connected. He even gave me some dance music when we were based at the stadium.

Oh my, me eyes are welling up now.

I learnt about his passing from a clerk when I got in office on Wednesday at about 1 pm. It was shocking. Managed to inform Tn Haji and En Najib.

Al Fatihah for Che Li.

He will always be remembered.

May ALLAH bless his soul.

1st day of school.

2008-01-02T21:29:00.000+08:00

Do you guys remember the first day of school?

My school logo. I remember the school song still. And instad of the rukun negara, we actually recited prayers at Monday morning assemblies. Hehe. Those were the days!!

I remembered mine dearly. HAHA. Funny to think of it.

that was in January, 1984. This time around, my nephew had already been enrolled in standard 1, and boy, WAS HE EXCITED.

My Primary School. Same structure, different color! haha.. photo taken frem HERE
It used to be brown-yellow-ish, now PINK. HAHA!!! and this is where I usually wait for my dad or hang out during recess when i was in standard 6. With the girls.. HAHAHA..... die!

I guess, I was kind of excited. My standard 1 uniforms were bought in Singapore in a trip in 1983 and my school bag was actually bought by my mom from Korea. Huhuhu.

I remembered those days, my mom would wake me up at 6 (and till to this day ...) to get ready for school. I would have gotten up already by 6.15, as the alarm radio would be blaring out this morning exercise program..haha. The tune still plays in my head!) My mom at that time was still a head mistress in an all girl school in Port Klang - she leaves home by 630am. So usually it would be my Dad's task to send me to school. That went on till I was in standard 6.

That particular 1st day (i dont remember the orientation at all! - eh, got.. but fragments ajela) my dad brought me to my class. 1 Kembangan. If not mistaken, my class teacher is Puan Hasnah (wonder where she is now). I guess the best got out of me. I chickened out! I did not cry, but I dunno, I just felt uncomfortable. I was telling my dad I did not feel well and I did not want to stay. Other parents were there too. haha. Well, the teacher tried to talk me into staying, but I kept saying I was ill. And she did mention about somebody throwing out outside, and asked whether it was me. I LIED. I SAID YES! hehehe. And so, I guess my dad cant take it, and took me home. HAHAHA. THAT WAS MY FIRST DAY!! I think I dissapointed my Dad. huhu.

Eventually, the second day went fine. HAHA. I always hated it if my mom sends me to school tho. I'll get mushy and i feel like crying. huhuhuhu. Well, it's hard to say.

What ever it is, those were my memories of my 1st day of school. such a coward! LOL!!

2007-12-31T14:02:00.000+08:00

my new look. HAHA. its gonna stay, Insya ALLAH for 2008. Irhamna Ya Rahman!!

Sigh. Its the END.

What a year has it been for me. Alhamdulillah.

This year 2007 had given me so many insights of life. A lot of sadness, a lot of happiness. I learnt a zillion things this year.

I dont even know how to wrap up my year actually, because for me, life goes on. Year in year out, its just the same.

Im just gonna type out my thoughts of the moment:

I shud be thankful to HIM more for giving me oxygen and to return my soul everytime I wake up.

Manage to loose a few pounds this year. I cud get back into the pants and jeans bought in Edinburgh. Have to keep this up.

I did few weddings this year. Thanks to Taj and Wazi for their support and help.

My aunt and friend passed on, within a week to each other.

I did wardrobe and make up for a film. My first. Learnt so much from that experience.

I designed and did costumes for a music video and met new people in the production line.

sinar rembulan mengiring tari... la la la la

I feel more attached to my work now. The joy of doing my job, i dunno. I love it and so thankful for it. I must give more.

DATES. LKY?? DATES???

Ramadan : Well this year is really special for me. :) I got to fast in Alor Star AGAIN.. berbuka AGAIN with Miss World and her PA *die la RuRu the Reindeer and the Garden Gnome.. * and had great time with Ginger n Nazz @ SP. Shop shop raya katanya.

Im back on track with my dance troupe. even with minimum members, we are striving bit by bit. To you guys, thanks for the support and let's keep the group's rapport up.

Malam Simfoni Kasih UiTM... lalala

This year also, I travelled. I went to the Land of the Minang. Mainly looking for stuff for weddings. I dunno ada rezeki or not to go again. Tanggungjawab makin bertambah now, so have to attend to what is necesary dulu.

KFC with NASIK!! waaa.. guess where?

OBE and MQA. Well, have to focus on this for 2008. I want my 'kids' to be sellable to the market when they graduate.

Oh yeah, upgraded my PC. I mean my HD. KW did it :). Thanks KW for ur attentiveness.

L O V E. HAHAHA. Well, let it be a memory. GOD knows. :P *no comment lah*

Friends: well, made lots this year. Ricko in Padang, CapT HooKeD, who else? ramai lah! oh yes, Kak Long from Brunei (and hubby) Who else? ramai la.

Hopes for 2008

Im doing this entry untuk sambut Awal Muharram sekali.

Dengan Nama Allah Yang Maha Pemurah dan Maha Penyayang.

Dalam menghadapi hari hari dalam tahun 1429 Hijrah / 2008 ini, aku bermohon hajatku kepadaMU ya ALLAH. Supaya dikurniakan kesihatan yang baik terutama kepada kedua ibu dan bapaku, saudara2 kedua mereka, adik beradik ku beserta kaum kerabatku yang lain. Jadikanlah kami hambaMU yang sentiasa patuh akan perintahMU dan maafkan segala kekhilafan kami, baik yang kami sedar ataupun tidak. Jadikan kami termasuk dalam golongan yang sentiasa mengingatiMU dengan ikhlas.
Wahai Maha Pengasih Maha Penyayang, jadikanlah aku seorang anak yang soleh. YAng berbakti kepada kedua ibu bapaku, yang membahagiakan mereka. Kurniakankanlah kesabran padaku dalam menangani hal hal kekeluargaan Ya ALLAH.

Ya ALLAH, aku bermohon kehadratMU wahai pencipta alam. Jadikanlah aku berdedikasi terhadap tugas2 ku yang telah KAU amanahkan kepadaku. Aku bermohon padaMU ya ALLAH, peliharalah keselamatan dan kesihatan serta keimanan anak-anak didikku Ya Allah.

Ya ALLAH. aku ini terlalu banyak meminta minta, namun kepada siapa lagi yang harus ku pohon permintaan ku ini ya ALLAH?

Ya ALLAH, ku mohon dipelihara persahabatan ku dengan kenalan dan taulan ku. Sesunguhnya, merekalah teman bersuka duka di dunia pinjaman Mu ini ya ALLAH. Ku bermohon diberkati silaturrahim yang terjalin atas kehendakMU ini ya Tuhanku. Pimpinlah kami ke jalanMU yang KAU redhai Ya ALLAH.

Ya ALLAH, peliharalah hati ku, dan hati muslimin dan muslimat lain dari hasutan musuh yang nyata bagi kami *namun kami tetap tertewas dengan godaannya*. Jadikanlah Nur MU sebagai pembersih hati kami dari segala sifat mazmumah dan sifat yang tidak menguntungkan kami.

Ya ALLAH yang Maha Pemurah lagi Maha Mengasihani, jadikanlah aku seorang yang sentiasa bersyukur atas segala nikmatmu. Sesunguhnya tanpaMU, siapalah aku ya ALLAH. Terima kasih kerana mengrniakan ku dengan bermacam nikmat dan semoga aku menjadi seorang yang selalu mengenang jasa-jasaMU terhadapku.

Selawat dan salam kepada Junjungan MU, Muhammad S A W serta kerabatnya, tak lupa pada Ibrahim A S.

Subhanallah Awni Wahasbi, Irhamna Ya Rahman! Ya Rahim!

It's Xmas Eve. So what? I tak celebrate pun.Kat opis ni ha, nak mengadap documents utk ISO etc. Dgn opis karam pecah ni! But entah la. A fren of mine gave a the link to my cousin's blog. Huhu, was surprised to find out she has a blog. Thanks Fren.

Remember my entry about arwah my aunt? some time back, macamla aku ni rajin sgt update blog ni kan?

So, my cousin actually pour her heart out in her entries. Gosh. I jadi waterworks kejap. I terus teringat kat arwah. Ade one time tu, I dapat surat ke BTN, which, I tak berminat pun nak pi. Kebetulan the same date tu, I was to follow my aunt to Singapore, sebab nak attend kenduri my relative kat sana. Kalau I tak follow my aunty ni, mmg sah i takkan kenal sgt belah Singapore. My dad bukannye story sgt about his side of the family.

I ingatla, vaguely, pagi arrive kt Changi. Breakfast kat AnW tak silap. Then, off to a relative's place. And i vaguely remember naik bas dgn dia, and another relative, pegi Sentosa ISland. Goodness. Masa tu tak silap I, my cousins were already overseas kot?. hurm. Tah la.

Al Fatihah to arwah.

oh yes, to all Christians yang read my blog, Merry Christmas and to otehrs, happy hols :)

night out

2007-12-16T05:10:00.000+08:00

Agenda for the day:

AM

Meet client for April wedding @ Kemensah. Went on from 11am-4pm.

PM

Went straight to Masjid India to buy Keris for props. Went straight to Vistana after that for a show. Baby asked me to hang out with the rest of the gang at her father's Dangdut Club. Woohoo. Tonight is the last night of Queensway Nite Club in Sentul. Change of ownership. So it was my last chance to go and experience what a Kelab Dangdut is like and to commemorate to closure, the same gang would be performing tonight at the said club.

The show at Vistana finished at 9 pm. Woohoo. That was early! anyways, decided to hang out at Anis's place @ Sentul and watched Asian Pop Idol. I like Jac's delivery and also i had seem to like Filipina's Idol as well as Indo Idol. Singapore Idol, HAdi, is just to cute. HAHA.

Anyways, at about half past midnight, we left for Queensway. Got there at about 1245 and there was not many ppl around.

It has been a while since i last went for night outings. And tonight, really opened my eyes. While sitting around and listening to the loud music (This place actually play mixture of tunes, not only dangdut, yet they play Zapin, Joget, Chacha, Mambo etc - varying in levels of degree!) This aunty caught my eye. This aunty, she must be about 50 - 60, carrying a big bag of tid bits to be sold to patrons. She lugged around the big bag of tid bits and shone her torchlight around to attract attention. Oh goodness. My heart sank to think, at that age, in the wee hours, a lady that age should be at home, sleeping and resting, not carrying a huge bag of tid bits to be sold to patrons at the club. I just then thought, how lucky I am. How I was never that thankful with what HE had given me and always had taken granted of things.

GRO. Guest Relation Officer. Last night was my first encounter with girls who carry this stigma of a title to the society. They are just human beings and i bet they did not choose (if given the chance to choose) what they do. Probably there are lots of things that contribute to why they ended up there. It was very surreal to see, my ex students dancing next to them. It was because, again, my ex students had the opportunity to study (and I am aware that there are GRO's who are college going girls) and dah grad pun, at least dgn diploma. Yes, generally they just entertain guests, and accompany these so called lonely men. According to a source, these GRO's are going to be out of work as the new owner who bought over the club wont be taking the girls and the rest of the crew that run Queensway. And i know what its like when u have shortage of cash. And imagining some of the GRO's have mouths to feed. I guess that is what you call TAKDIR (fate). And how we handle ourselves to face it.

Entah la. last night's outing really opened my eyes and had given me a new perspective in life.

I am ever so thankful to YOU and thank you for showing me things and giving me the thoughts last night.

It's 730 am. My phone rang. Saw the number, it's the house number. Must be my wake up call. YEp, a wake up call allright.

My mom informed me that we had just lost a neighbor. So iasked which one? and the usual thing ran across my head, must be one of the seniors but my mom's answer just really woke me up and reminisce my primary school days. It was my neighbor's eldest daughter who is just 37. She passed away last night of cervical cancer and my mom was told that it spread so fast, in just 2 weeks.

Al Fatihah to Yasmin bt Hashim, 1970 - 2007.

Im just lost for words. Arwah has school going kids, and I dont know if i have the strength to go over and pay my last respects. God knows how i feel at the moment. We always say that people have untimely deaths, but, actually, for a Muslim, there is no such thing as untimely death. The Angel Of Death would just come and do the job when it is time, which we never know. We have to accpet the Qadha and Qadhar of ALLAH. To the family of Uncle Hashim Musa, my condolences to all of you. May ALLAH place her soul in one of HIS seven heavens. Insya ALLAH.

Hati Malaya

2007-10-31T20:13:00.000+08:00

Salam.

Tadi tengahari, I sompek menyompek kan diri menonton 1957: HATI MALAYA kat TGV KLCC. TQ to Volks n Hook yang provided me with the details of the screening.

Siapa nak tahu sinopsis bagai sila klik SINI

Im not really reviewing the movie, but i just want to share my viewing experience.

THE OPENING

The opening gave me goosebumps. The shots and how they edited the scenes as well as the presenting of the character. Narratively simple and straight forward, yet done is a beautiful way. With Siti belting out HATI, the OST, my, I cant wait to see what is up next.

The story begun in 1940-sumthing *die la I was not focusing kan* The subtitling of whats happening according to historical facts at the bottom left and right on the screen was really helpful.

How Datuk Onn was featured.. I like.. ang Joanna Bassey as the mat salleh siap with english accent.. wonderful!

Eh, I want to watch it again lah... i guess i was too absorbed with emotion while watching it just now. Or maybe im just too tired today. Hurm. Cant think straight. Nanti la, i update balik *die la ALASAN*

ok la cut things short:

What i like (not in order of scenes):

Rozie Rashid - make up n characterisation
semiotics of the modern characters
the fight scene between Zahri n rozhan
some costumes - Joanna Bassey's especially - and her as the english lady
Che Kem (Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra) - He is GOOD!
Ang Lee - Douglas Lim
Artistic Direction , editing, COLOUR and TEXTURE of the whole film
Nanu as Sharifah Rodziah - Sukeeee sangat!
Scene BOCOR - i really felt MAD
Scene Chinese HAll of Commerce - this I really CRIED, i dunno why. I was just overwhelmed.
Proclaimation of Independence di Melaka - another tear jerker for me *me eyes welling up now*
Sultan Abdul Samad Building (MERDEKA) scene
SceneTunku berarak di Bandar Hilir masa balik dr UK with people lining up... the actors lining up and CGI'd with old footange - I broke down too, I could imagine whats it like, as if i was there *EMO LA AKU!!*
Scene Datuk Onn kat umah dgn wife n son, masa 31 Ogos. this too was a tearjerker for me.
*ade lagi, tapi i kene watch it again*

Dislikes:
Ade la jugak kan, esp Pakaian Sultan2 Melayu. Huhu, ade ke pakai SONGKET PAKISTAN?! ade lak yang TAK SEDONDON. Samping ikat Jumaat.. MOTIF? anyways, the casting for the Sultans were ok lah. I liked Mustafa Maarof best. Dato' Jins, personally la for me, did not do a good job as Sultan Ibrahim.

Saya faham sangat bila membabitkan extra yang ramai, terutama bila nak jaga pakaian. Ade gak terlepas satu mamat berbaju johor SATIN KELABU!! masa tu org ellaki x pakai SATIN.. hehe.. And also songkok Indonesia.. yang haji2 pakai kaler putih ade sulam benang perak... also terlepas. And then Scene TAR *kalu x silap ler* took over UMNO, ade gak xtra sorang pakai baju melayu, obviously of this era, hehe. Ade satu scene tu plak, nampak rambut IQram nyer HIGHLIGHTS... 2-3 seconds, tapi i noticed it la. hehe. Che Dee Hasnan jgn marah noh.. Saye pun paham keje ni... nak detail, tapi saya faham constraintsnyer.. ni just nak share aje. U did a great Job on the wardrobe :) Tak banyak la yang I tak suka, bukan tak suka, tapi kelemahan manusia, yang insya ALLAH, boleh diperbaiki.

I guess it's how Shumi and Gang put it all together making history ALIVE with some things that happen which was never been told, or ever imagined by anyone, the emotion and love put into it.

What ever it is, I really enjoyed the movie. It gave me a more sentimental feel of the independence. And I think, I dah kenal who Datuk Onn is, who Tunku is and the people surrounding the process of Merdeka 50 Years ago and their struggles etc. Let's look at ourselves now, do we love our nation? I do. And I do not want to be colonised in what ever way ever. I want to watch it again hehehe. ...

Tunggu ape itiew???

2007-10-28T23:50:00.000+08:00

Awat la manusia ni kan....

2007-10-23T23:30:00.000+08:00

Especially orang Melayu. Dengki mengki, hasut masut, karut marut.

A close friend of mine rupanya kene buatan orang. ALLAH! terkejut aku bila dapat sms dari seorang yang aku hormati. Dalam sms tu dia pesan, dia nak pegi tengok kawan I ni berubat. Setahu I kawan I ni sihat wal afiat, cuma he is suffering from gout (at 30?!) well, apa2 pun possible.

So, untuk mendapatkan pengesahan, I called him up. Tanye terus terang, and he mengaku yang dia dalam proses perubatan. He never sounded like that before. Tak boleh bercakap sangat, tapi bukan la slurring, tapi mcm ade ulcer mulut yang tahap kritikal. I mmg menitis air mata dgr suara dia.

Friend, if you happen to read this entry, pls kuatkan hati, usaha melawan sehabis boleh, fikirkan yang positif. Kuatkan hati dengan Zikrullah. Lawanlah dengan berpegang kepada kalimah La Illahailallah. Selalu ingat akanNYA. Dan bertawakal.

Ya ALLAH, pls kuatkan kawan ku ini. Pls give him the strength to go through this. Please berikan kami, kawan-kawan hamba Mu itu kekuatan dan hidayah untuk kami membantu kawan kami dengan apa cara sekalipun. Amin.

Friend, if you happen to read his entry, this pages might help: please click HERE, HERE and HERE and here also. Semoga dilindungiNYA. Insya ALLAH.

My Syawal

2007-10-19T15:48:00.000+08:00

Salam. It already has been a week and I still had not penned down anything about my Syawal this year.

All I could say is, it's been great. Alhamdulillah.

I took leave on the Thursday leading to Syawal.

Thursday 11/10/07 @ 29 Ramadan 1428

Woke up late. Ikut plan, lepas subuh nak kua dah. ADO? kua kul 9. hehe. So agenda Khamis tu was like this:

Tesco Extra Shah Alam

-Ikan Pari
-Mineral Water 2 kotak
-Tempeh - out of stock
-Tahu
-Terung Panjang/ Bulat
-Cili hidup
-Sengkuang
-Bawang Kecik
-Kacang Panjang
-daun kesum - out of stock

Lepas pi Tesco Extra tu, disebabkan nan ado tempeh dan daun kesum, I singgah pasar Tani Sek 17 PJ, Kat situ end up getting Ketupat Palas 20 biji and Rendang Tok Mak Nik sekilo for RM35.

Then sent my sis to LRT Paramount, dia nak pi KLCC jumpe hubby dia.

Lepaih tu ZZOOOOMMM ke Mydin USJ.

MYDIN USJ

Baju Raye utk Maids - 6 pasang
Pelita
Lampu Lip lap
Kurma Mariami
Daun Kesum
Tempeh - out of stock *boleh?!*

I spent about berapa jam ek? kul 3 sampai kul 6 kot kat situ.. then rush back for Iftar.

Malam tu plak, lepas terawih terakhir *sob*sob*, mula la operasi kemas umah. Huhuhu.

Jumaat 12/10/07 @ 30 Ramadan 1428

Lepas subuh x tido, terus pi pasang lampu lip lap kat balcony, x sompek buek wiring. Then about 7.30 pi Pasar Jalan Othman. Kat sana pi beli:

Plastik meja
Tempeh
Kacang siap proses
Bendi
Bunge Melur

Lepas Pasar Jalan Osman, Singgah seksyen 14, hantar baju Mak ke 5-a-sec and pi renew license. Selamatt aku ade lesen baru :) matinye tahun 2012.

Lepas tu terus ZZZOOOOOMM ke IKEA. Pi beli lampshade dengan frame gambau. Last2 frame gambau tu pose2 dalam almari je. HAHA.

Balik dr Ikea, terus pi FLORISTIKA. Beli fresh flowers for the house and to bring to kubur.

By the time i got home from Floristika, it was already 1145, terus pi KJ potong rambut. Lepas tu rush balik umah, mandi n pi Solat Jumaat.

Seusai Jumaat, i terus ke Tesco Extra balik, beli Ais Krim Soda sekarton dan sunquick. Untuk dihidang kepada tetamu esok. Huhu. Rush back, cari kuih utk berbuka, tapi dah nan ado org jual.

Sampai je kat umah, ketupat dah naik. Tapi rendang semua lom lagi. Sian tgk Mak aku, dia dah tahap kempot dah, risau ok. So i took over the dapur. I first made my Kuah Asam Pedas Ikan Pari. Lepas yang tu tengah didih atas dapur, settlekan Kuah Kacang lak. Then it rainedddddd. Lepas ujan reda, sempat ni pi siapkan wiring lip lap, then pi isi minyak tanah bagai. Huuuu. By that time, my mom dok pop in ayam dalam microwave utk rendang dia. Rendang shortcut nama nye tu. hehe. Pas tu dok susun bunga here there everywhere.

So, Azan Maghrib pun bergema. Berakhir sudah Ramadan tahun ini. Alunan Puji Pujian kepadaNYA berkumandang di sini sana. Selesai je berbuka hari terakhir tu, pelita ku nyalakan.. KAKAKA.. soo Ziana n Awie. hehe. Then mula la sibuk kemas umah dan ape yang patut. Susun living room bagai. Kul 2 pagi macam tu dah tertido kat sofa depan.. haha.

Subuh Syawal, kul 5 dah terjaga, Al Maklum, sebulan bersahur kan. So sedar-sedar aje, Solat Isya dulu, then terus susun apa yang patut, kiranya finishing touches la. Then kuarkan bunga melur dari fridge, letak dalam bekas. By 6 settle. Mandi sunat then lepas je Subuh, dalam kul 630 dah gerak pi Kubur Mak Tok, Tok Seman and Sofea. Pi kejap je, jenguk2. On the way back home *oh ye, perut ala2 kureng sket pagi tu* masa stop kat traffic light sect 14 - 19, terus cilok pi kubur sek 19. Ziarah kubur arwah Salman. Arwah ni classmate i masa form 1, 3 and 4. Dia meninggal sebab leukemia. Masa kat kubur tu, terus terlintas, betapa ALLAH memberikan nikmatNYA tanpa henti kat aku. Sedangkan kawan setingkatan dengan aku, 2 orang ye, ajalnya sampai awal. Subhanallah. Dah 30 tahun aku hidup, berapa tahun dari situ yang aku betul2 mengabdikan diri aku. isk isk.

balik solat Eid. Pose2 dalam keter.

Lepas tu baru pi Solat Eid kat masjid Kolej Islam. I wore my black cotton Baju Teluk Belanga siap dengan monogram in diamonte. hehe. Kire i wore this dari pegi kubur saaaaampai ke petang Raya pertama tu. Balik solat Eid, singgah SHELL sek 17 beli air batu, then balik umah. Sampai2 aje, My mom tgh sibuk kemas antique cupboard kat dining area. Aiyo. Kuah lodeh tak masak lagi ni, also the sambal tumis. Isk, never tau pagi Eid kul 10 camtu mende2 tak masak lagi. So, mrasa slip on apron dan MEMASAK lagi. hehe.

Kuah Lodeh and Sambal Tumis kosong, settle. Then hidang-hidang pulak lauk bagai, setting meja itu ini. Potong kek lapis, kek kukus. Huhuhu, bancuh air. Gile ONE MAN SHOW. But, Alhamdulillah, I enjoyed every second of it.

For me, Raya tahun ni yang paling terasa Raya nya itu. Mengapa? biarlah diri empunya body dan Pencipta beliau yang tahu. What ever it is. I really miss Ramadan already. Entah tahun depan dapat jumpe atau tak. Wallahualam. And so I pray that i would carry out whatever i have done and tinggalkan dalam Ramadan ke hari hari berikutnya sehingga bertemu Ramadan kembali. Insya ALLAH.

As for the first week of Syawal today. I have taken another leap in my life. I just want this short note to be a reminder to myself. About today. About 2 am. I am still awaiting Lea's email response. I am still dazed. I hope I could be what is expected of me. Like a friend said to me: dont waste it.

Ya Allah. Help me and keep me to Your path.

Me - Syawal 1428

Gosh. Ramadan is breezing thru. Kejap sangat but, Alhamdulillah so far so good. Thank ALLAH for letting me be so close with my mom this year. Mana tak nye, bersahur pun dua orang aje. Entah tahun depan dapat ke idak. Wallahualam.

Semalam terawih lagi kat Masjid KJ sebab lepas je abes Solat Qiam, terus pi USJ, pi MYDIN. Mak n Bapak pesan belikan kain batik nak diberi orang. So memandangkan masa mcm takde je for me, so eloklah disegerakan permintaan orang kan?

Lepas tu singgah umah Kak Saemah hanta Shantung, then pi Vichuda Tom Yam kat DU (Uptown lama) tar pau lauk untuk bersahur. Sian Mak, sebab dah xde idea nak masak ape, I pun dah blur dah.

I hope kami sekeluarga diizinkanNYA untuk lebih bertakwa danlebih banyak beribadat this last 10 days *sedey ooo* and hope *really-really-really hope* this would go on after Ramadan and into next Ramadan. Insya ALLAH.

*oh yeah, dengar tazkirah on IKIM.FM regarding asal usul Solat Terawih. huhu. Baru ku tahu la ni hehehe *

Lupe nak story. Semalam dalam penuh emosi hupdate blog ni, lupe nak habaq yang I akan pi berbuke puasa dengan kawan2 dari SSP (Sekolah Sri Petaling, PJ, Class of '89) EH SAT! I decided to pegi like laaater.... patut la tak mention..hehheh.

Anyways, after deciding to go, i managed to drag Azmi along. Ye lah, kalau aku pi sorang kang, mampus la kan, dah la risau x kenal orang kan... so kaedahnye, Azmi pun mengikut gak, jemput dia kat TTDI kul 6, tapi sebab kureng arif akan jejalan di PJ-TTDI *hampeh kan?* so mrasa la sampai kat Muhibbah kul 620 lebih *walhal janji dgn depa kul 630 kat Hartamas Sq* ekekeke...

So ZIP ZAP ZOOOM ke Hartamas. got there on time to berbuka of kos. Meriah gak makanan kat situ, maklumla, i dgn Azmi 1st timer kat sane. I order popiah aje. Oh ye, sape ek yang mai:

1. Maharedza - Organiser
2. Megat Shazreal
3. Raja Ezrin
4. Faizal
5. Johan Azahari n wife, Linda

It was a nice gathering, walaupan ramai cant make it last minute kan, yet, it was great to reminisce the old days. Found out that Cikgu Aziz - the COOLEST cikgu, dah kembali ke rahmatullah :(. Cikgu Baha is still in SSP. News about friends masa sekolah rendah dulu etc. Orang bertunang, orang nak menikah, yang ade anak 2-3 orang. AIYO.

I dengan Azmi lak thankful gile sebab NOBODY popped up soalan bonus tu la kan.. HAHA. Dan kaedahnye, i bagitau la Azmi, next gathering, nampaknye kami berdua akan melayan the orang rumah crowd! HAHAHA!!! Mane tak nye... wife Johan mai aje, tup tap dah borang pasal home decor, kain langsir, dan lain lain hal berkaitan termasuklah hal oven dan masak memasak sehingalah ke perabot jati dan carpet rm 1K. HAHAHA. matilah aku!

tu jela yang berlaku semalam. Hari ni tak sure nak berbuke kat opis ke idak... Sian tgk mak berbuke sorang2 nanti. Nasib la semalam bro inlaw balik umah. Oh ye, bab semalam, my mom did go to Balai Polis Damansara Utama malam tadi. Dah cerita and the police said tehy will step up rondaan area kami tu. Insya ALLAH.

So, ade masa dan kelapangan esok, akan lah ade update lagi.

A ha... ni also tgh sibuk2 nak shooting untuk Degree Showcase Program Skrin. Huhu.. nak monitor make up for 6 groups yang agak mencabar gak untuk student2 Diploma ni buat make up. huhu. Well, I love what I do :)

14 Ramadan

2007-09-26T09:17:00.000+08:00

Alhamdulillah, dah masuk 14 Ramadan. So far so good. Hope to keep it up. Ever since kisah Arwah Nurin ni kan, I guess makin paranoid kita dibuatnya, terutama terhadap strangers.

Semalam, just before 7, ada satu mamat ni, according to my mom la, tinggi - in his 30's-40's
came into the house compund. My father bukak gate umah sebab besan depa habaq nak mai sat. And so mamat ni, on a BLUE MOTORCYCLE which was parked depan gate, menghala to main road.. MOTIFF kan? anyways, this guy masuk compund umah parents i ols. Mata dia, according to my mom, meliar melihat dan meninjau2 DALAM RUMAH.. aiyoo.. apekah motif beliau?? Wallahualam. Anyways, sedang dia ckp kat my dad dia nak cari kerja sebab takde duit, *MOTIF ade DUIT ISI MINYAK MOTO??!!* and at that moment gak besan my parents sampai. Mamat tu muke cuak tahap cipan, in my own words la from my mom's description. MOTIF NAK CUAK kannnn??!!!

Manakala, my dad bagi la RM10 kan, pas tu dia terkocoh2 blah.

Kaedahnye I balik berbuka lambat semalam, dosi Azan bari i sampai. So masa i duduk tu, my mom cerita la kejadian yang berlaku. Hai hai hai. I soh la my mom lepas Maghrib, telepon Polis, never know la kan, at leats kalau terjadi apa2 lepas ni, ade dah report. Ish.

Tapi agaknye sebab my mom letih banget, maka tak la ditelefon polis itiew.

Masa sahur tadik I soh gak my mom buat fon kol ke Rakan COP, so tadi sebelum hantaq dia pi checkup kat UH, dia kol. Manakala, disuruh be on the look out, sebab, ye lah, suspect pembunuh Arwahnye si Nurin still at large kan. Ish ish ish. Dugaan sungguh sekarang ni.

I hope everything is well at home.

Dan, oh ye, ENTRY NI TRIBUTE KAT RED DIVA... sebab I neverla pakai MERAH liek this before.. and the outcome.. I LIKE! :P

Nurin laid to rest

KUALA LUMPUR: Nurin Jazlin Jazimin, 8, was buried on Friday at 2.30pm at the Dana Kota Muslim cemetery here.

Family members were seen crying, as were the many people who came to pay their last respects.

Norazian Bistaman sprinkling holy water on her daughter Nurin's grave.

The area surrounding the cemetery was packed as mourners from all walks of life, touched by the family's plight, came to offer condolences and join in the prayers.

Nurin Jazlin's father, Jazimin Abdul Jalil, went to Hospital Kuala Lumpur on Friday morning to take the body home for the burial rites.

On Thursday, Selangor police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar confirmed that the results of the DNA test done on the blood sample taken from the dead girl matched that of Jazimin, 33, and his wife Norazian, 35.

Both parents were at first adamant that the body found stuffed in a sports bag was not their daughter, saying the body did not look like Nurin.

The parents said that Nurin had a scar on her thigh and that her teeth did not have gaps like that found on the body.

Semoga ahli keluarga arwah adik Nurin *who could be the age of my own daughter* banyak-banyak bersabar menerima dan redha dengan ketentuan ini. Sesungguhnya dari ALLAH kita datang, dan kembali yang pasti kepadaNYA juga. Cuma cara yang bagaimana dan bila, Wallahualam.

Ya ALLAH Ya Tuhanku, Yang Maha Pemurah, yang Maha Penyayang, yang Maha Pengampun dan Maha Menguasai atas segala sesuatu, berikan kekuatan dan kesabaran kepada kami dalam menempuhi dugaanMu Ya ALLAH. Ya ALLAH, sesungguhnya, Engkaulah yang Maha Adil, maka, berikanlah keadilan kepada arwah Nurin yang telah ke alam Barzakh menanti hari yang dijanjikanMU, Ya ALLAH. Berilah keadilan kepada beliau di dunia mahupun di akhirat. Sesungguhnya hanya kepadaMU aku bermohon. Amin.

My first reaction: Dropped jaw and shocked.

Gosh, how could people be so cruel? Haiyayayai... Inalillah Waina Lilahirajiun. Al Fatihah utk bocah yang dijumpai korban tewas di tangan manusia yang sememangnya MELAMPAUI BATAS.

I cant imagine what the parents are going thru. Wallahualam who the little girl in the bag is, kalau betul it is Nurin, my deepest condolence to her family.

Semoga keluarga Nurin banyak2 bersabar menempuh dugaan Illahi ini.

oh yes, also wishing Miss G of Gurun, many Happy Returns of the Day. Miss G of Gurun who turns 25 today (eh i tot it was 19?) die la matematik! :P

Well whatever it is, every living thing on earth would return back to it's creator. We have to decide ourselves how do we want to be returned. Used or OVER USED. Astaghfirullahalazim.

2007-09-18T07:13:00.000+08:00

Subhanallah. Dah masuk seminggu kita berpuasa.

Ramadan yang menjenguk hanya selama 29-30 hari dalam setahun, dan belum tentu dapat bertemu lagi dengan Penghulu Segala Bulan ini tahun hadapan.

Apa yang kita dah capai dalam masa 6 hari ini? Berat badan semakin berkurangan? semakin naik? Bagaimana denagan amal ibadat lain? Zakat Fitrah dah bayar lom? ade tak kita bersedekah? Kita sendiri kene jawab la kan.

SELF CONTROL. itu yang paling penting. Bak offline message yang i dapat tadi. Biarlah isinya menjadi rahsia saya dan tuan penghantarnya, tapi yang penting SELF CONTROL tu ade. And yes, Jangan dengar sangat kata HATI, sebab syaitan itu selalu berbisik kat hati. Orang kata syaitan / iblis kene ikat dalam bulan ni. I guess so. Tapi bila hati kita sendiri tang terdetik nak itu ini, huhuhu. Scary.

Tadi bukak Utusan Online. Goodness! lagi budak hilang! dah tu.. siap jumpe mayat budak dalam beg. Astaghfirullahalazim. Gila betul. Menakutkan. Kita ni balik zaman jahiliyah ke? now i lagi worried about my nieces n nephews. Memang dah gila semua. Dah la Ramadan, and this things happen. Sememangnya dugaanNYA.

Apa lagi nak menceceh ni? erm. tah la, ngantuk ni. And I am quite frustrated with myself. :( *and let that matter be between me and my creator*

Jazakallahu Khair

Fifi mula menari kembali! thanks to Hairi for the pic. :)

Salam.

Huih, banyak tul sawang kat blog aku nih. Lea, bak mai penyapu sawang tu sat.. nak clearkan sawang2 yang ado ni.

just to flush out my emotions at the moment.

Andai Aku Pergi, Izinkan ku pergi.

If i was ever to leave this world now, number one, I want to leave and meet my creator prepared, thing is, I dont know how prepared I am to face HIM.

I want to leave this world in peace, and by saying the Syahadah. I am a muslim, I profess that there is no God other than ALLAH, and Muhammad (PBUH) is His messenger.

I want to leave this word as quickly as I could, so that i dont have to do little 'destructions' to myself and to the environment.

I do not want people to remember me after i've gone. I dont want anybody shedding a tear when I go, well, I cant deny the fact that God gave everyone diferrent levels of emotions for every thing that we go thru in life.

Please dont freak out reading this entry ye. Im just flushing things out of my system. I think I've drifted away from HIS path. It is VERY SCARY.

at the moment I am chatting with a friend in East Malaysia. We kinda share the same thoughts. I've got his permission to paste parts of the conversation.

Nur M. Taib: tah la

Nur M. Taib: sometimes aku fed up being like this

Nur M. Taib: nafsu diberi keutamaan

Nur M. Taib: aku tak nafi

Nur M. Taib: kebelakangan ni, ibadah ke mana, nafsu kemana

Nur M. Taib: i feel quite low

Nur M. Taib: i've been muhabasing myself this past few days

Nur M. Taib: aku rindu kat DIA

Nur M. Taib: aku rindu dikejutkan DIA di sepertiga malam

mxxxxx : aku pun...kita ni fifi..cuma satu je..tak tahan dgn godaan syaitan...Allah nk uji kita....tp syaitan tu kuat menghasut....kalo kita lawan...aku rasa kita akan jd org yg paling baik atas dunia ni kan....(tolak la nabi dan alim ulamak la)

Nur M. Taib: aku rindu belaian DIA, walaupun aku tahu, aku been getting HIS attention every second in my life.

Nur M. Taib: hehe

Nur M. Taib: bole tak aku copy opaste ape yg kita cht kan ni?

mxxxxx : dugaan kita ni amat hebat

Nur M. Taib: sangat

mxxxxx : k..jangan buat pameran dh la

kaedahnye, mmg aku buat pameran. Hehehe.

Nur M. Taib: nak letak kat blog je mxxxxx: sebenarnya...aku kat smua tu untuk aku...sebab aku tahu...aku terlalu mengikut nafsu....bukan aku suka jd mcm ni...bila time aku nk stop/taubat...naluri itu dtg menggoda...itula yg dikatakan Allah: Adakah cukup dngan hanya berkata aku beriman...sedangkan iman itu tidak diuji... mxxxx: aku selalu mohon dengan Allah...ujilah aku dgn benda lain...bukan dgn "naluri" mxxxx: k....ko padam la nama aku mxxxx: mcmla msg aku ni bagus sgt mxxxx: ni nasihat untuk diri aku sendiri fifi

Well, encik Mxxxxx i dah coverina ur identitas :)

Same goes with me my friend. Same goes with me. I am living what has been scripted for me. NO REGRETS and NO TERKILANS. Having those two feelings makes me feel as if I am going against HIS will.

In a few hours, Malaysia would celebrate it's 50th year of independence. Would tehre be another 10? or another 40? Wallahualam. Only ALLAH knows.

Once we are comfortable, we would want to be more comfortable, that is human nature. But the way of getting more comfortable tu yang buat kita tersasar jauh. Nauzbillahiminzalliq.

So, selamat Ulangtahun ke 50 MALAYSIA. Syukur Alhamdulillah aku dilahirkan di tanah Malaysia. Syukru kehadratNYA disini aman. Namun, sedarlah, ini semua UJIAN untuk kita.

How MERDEKA are we and are we that MERDEKA? Wallahualam. Im happy happy and happy. I just want to celebrate this on a low key note. It is history, and who does not want to part of it. So if guys are going outto celebrate it tonight, try to be moderate :)

Ok, nak sambung keje dah. Feel lighter after offloading them here, on my blogspot. Looks like theres still sawang here and there.... hehehe... u ols kalau nampak sawang tu, tlg la sapu2kan yek?

Jazakallahu Khairan

in memory

2007-07-21T23:03:00.000+08:00

Assalamualaikum.

I just got back from a tahlil, commemorating 40 days of my Aunt's passing. This is the first time after the funeral that I get to see my cousins again. I really felt odd. I just dont know why. I acted normal, as if nothing has happened. I just texted my cousin once after the funeral asking how she was getting on, even trying to send that text message was hard for me. Why? I do not know why.

My late aunt is my father's younger sister, thus, when I was a wee kid, when the maid was not around, my dad would send me to my aunt's. That is why, I grew very close with them, especially my aunt's youngest daughter.

I could still recall, when my aunt was baby sitting me, when my cousins were at school, I would follow her to the provision shop nearby. She would buy Maggi Ayam for me and cooked it for me later. Maggi Ayam. So there I was just now, sitting at the dining area of her home, recollecting bits and pieces of the time she was still around. My heart sank because I know she is no longer around.

I just could not even make eye contact with my cousins tonight, I was really afraid I would break down again, like how it happened after her burial at the Kota Damansara Muslim Cemetery. I felt it is unnecessary for the drama, so i kept it cool. Recalling my aunt's funeral, I actually left the location of Wayang, thanks to my sister in Brussels and brother in law who borrowed me money for the air tickets back to KL.

I received news that my aunt was in really bad shape at about 1 a.m, and at 3, I received a text message from my other sister in KL that my aunt had passed on. Not having anymore credits in my mobile, I got Hj Tharuwat to stop by a 7-11 on the way back to KB and got a rm30 reload. I then texted my cousin, sending my condolences, then I called her. Holding my emotions back (my Dean was in the backseat of the car)I told my cousin to send my love to everyone and be strong and I would not be able to come back.

When I got back to the hotel, after washing up etc, I just cant seem to sleep, and I texted my sister in Brussels and asked her, whether she knew Acik (thats what we call my aunt) had passed away. I was surprised that she did not know anything of it ( I thought my other sister texted her as well). Then it begin. To go back, or not. My sister then called me, we talked for a good 20 minutes, she coaxed me to go back, so that I "takkan menyesal". At 630a.m my bro in law called me, saying that he had banked in some money. By 7, I was already ready (and had not slept since the day before). Went to see the PM and told her, I just had to go back to KL.

Got a taxi at about 7 20 a.m, went straight to Pengkalan Chepa airport. Enquired at the MAS counter, there were no seats left. Went to the Air Asia counter, no seats left either, but I could still be on the waiting list. I also purchased a one way open ticket so that I could be on standby. By ALLAH's will, I did manage to get a seat on the Air Asia flight.

Touched down at LCCT at about 10 a.m, got a taxi straight to SS3, where my aunt's place is. The moment the taxi pulled over near the house, I saw a white flag at the junction. It was very surreal for me. Then I quickly walked to the house. My cousins greeted me at the gate. The body was still there, everyone was waiting for the people from the mosque to come with the hearse and for the Imam to lead the Solat Jenazah.

I followed the hearse to the cemetery. I was really quiet because I felt really awkward. The person in the coffin in front of me is my aunt. Someone that I had known the past 30 years of my life. She has 4 children, to whom I am close with. Now she is no longer around.

Along the way, I was just trying to imagine, what her son next to me felt. Losing his mother. I also tried imagining how her husband, who was also in the hearse felt. God,make me strong. I was also imagining how my father felt and his other sisters felt, and my mother too, at that time (I had never seen my Father looked how he looked like that day, apart from the time my Mom was warded in last year, where he seemed lost).

After the burial, as I was about to leave with my elder brother , we bid farewell to my aunts, uncles who attended the burial. It was when I wanted to say good bye to her youngest daughter, we just hugged each other and just broke down. I could not help it at all. Waterworks. Waterworks. Waterworks. The dam just broke loose. Regained my composure, and went back home.

I do not know if I really miss my aunt. I know that my cousins really do.

This will happen to me, one day for sure. I was telling myself that. Oh ALLAH. I ask from You, to give me the will to be strong, to be able to face the death of a loved one.

At this moment. I feel emptiness of some kind. I guess I would stop now.

Al Fatihah
to the late
HAJAH BADARIAH OSMAN

All the memories of me and Acik that ALLAH had bestowed, is really much appreciated.
Ya ALLAH, thank you for giving me a chance to have known her. Please bless her soul, and have her in one of your gardens in the here after. Ya ALLAH, please guide us to Your path, keep us to Your path. Amin.

Inalillah Wainalilahirajiun.
Dari ALLAH kita datang, kepada ALLAH kita kembali.

Thank you for reading this entry and...

Kaedahnye

2007-07-12T23:13:00.000+08:00

Kaedahnye, sebulan lebih tak jenguk atau memenakan apa2. Ada sebabnya. Saya telah terlibat dengan perfileman WAYANG. Projek sulung Universiti dan Fakulti, jadi saya telah ke Bachok serta Dungun untuk tujuan tersebut. Dalam masa yang sama, saya telah kehilangan Mak Cik saya, iaitu Hajah Badariah Osman pada awal Jun lepas. Baru sekarang ini saya terasa kehilangan beliau. Selang beberapa hari pula, sebuah sms memeranjatkan dari bekas pelajar saya yang menyambung pengajian beliau ke UMS dimana beliau telah mengkhabarkan pulangnya ke Rahmatullah Che ZulkarnainAbidin atau lebih mesra dengan panggilan Abang Zul, akibat sakit jantung. Arwah Mak cik saya telah dikebumikan di Tanah Perkuburan Islam Kota Damansara manakala Arwah Abg Zul di Likas. Al Fatihah untuk mereka.

bila ada kelapangan, akan saya uploadkan gambau2 sepanjang shooting WAYANG. Insya ALLAH.

and Finally...

2007-05-20T01:13:00.000+08:00

Mila won AF5. After 4 years of male domination, the opposite sex finally got a place. I have not been following AF this time, im just to occupied with other things. I only followed the finals via ERA on the way back from office just now. Gosh. Mila did really deliver! just with the gift of hearing, she delivered well and i could imagine how explosive was her final performance.

Just got back from KB at 1 a.m this morning. Syahrul sent me home, sian kat dia super tired. Shot off from KB at 9 a.m, lunch @ Bukit Besi @ Zan's inlaws, went to look at the location in Tanjung Jara *pictures later* also went to Hotel UiTM Dungun which is SOOOOO GRANDID!

KB was great! looking and feasting my eyes on people surrounding me, absorbing all the lines, shapes, form, texture and color to apply in the wardrobe design and make up design for Kelir Kaku. Tiring - YES but i enjoyed every minute of it! I had fun with my new toy too! nantik lepas transfer bagai, I would post some pics up here. Now i just want to lie down and SLEEP. :)

Oh, getting back to today, got up at around 9-ish, took my bath and took my mom to KL to get fabric for the sliding door curtains, I also went to look around for fabric swatches for some character costume for KELIR KAKU. so thats my day today. now gonna get some shut eye :) whilst listening to ROSSA - TEGAR and SAMSON - Kenangan Terindah .

Jazakallahu Khair :)

Im In Bachok, Kelate.

2007-05-15T07:46:00.000+08:00

BISMILLAHIRAHMANIRRAHIM

*entry with no gambau*

Im in BACHOK. Yes. In BACHOK. Arrived last night from KL at about 1030 pm and am staying at this place called DANGA D'RIVER CHALET. And I just woken up one of the people who works here *I think - Hussein mesti suke siapa aku terkejutkan itiewww-nanti i snappy nah!*, well, IT IS 5 to 8 anyways.

On the way yesterday, we stopped twice. Oh yeah, hitched a ride with Syahrul, my colleague to get to office. Oh my, thoughts are getting fragmented again. Ok Ok. Let me start all over again and waste your time reading, hehehe. Im here in Kelate Darul Naim to recce stuff and do some textual research of the location where we would be shooting KELIR KAKU which would be directed by Prof Dr Hatta Azad Khan. I would be the Wardrobe and Make Up Designer of the production. It's quite a big thing and it is gonna be shot on film.

So, today, I would be doing the following:

1. Study the colors and textures of the location of the shoot, as well as looking at what people are wearing in this Kampung im in.

2. Get information of how many types of silat is practiced in Kelantan, namely in the Bachok district. Then I need to find out what they wear for practice and training *matila nak type SHOW tadi.. hik~*

3. Sink myself, immerse myself in the locality and surroundings for inspiration. I may write about my ideas later and what I plan to do for KELIR KAKU.

Anyways, Im wondering why nobody has come out of their rooms yet. Ha, nak story pasai semalam nyer journey. The group of 11 people from FACT Puncak Perdana started the journey from Puncak Perdana on the Uni bus and on the way, stopped at BENTA in PAHANG and had lunch there. Then, we continued the journey to KB via Gua Musang and stopped again in Gua Musang for Tea Break and then, zoomed straight in to KB and stopped at this place called Ayam Percik Yati along Jalan Long Yunus *i think* and had dinner. During dinner-lah we met Pak Mat, elder brother to Pak Ya who teaches Wayang Kulit at my Uni. He led the bus to the Chalet mentioned earlier. Brief or not? :D I am very much interested to do a click here here here and here entry or more likely a 3000 word essay entry, but I rather not, why? SEBAB CHEQ LAPAQ! cheq nak pi amek roti krim dalam beg cheq! cheq nak mamam.

Ok, there may or not be an update later, so have a nice day semua! Dui!

Jazakallahu Khair :-)

Gosh. Am i ever thankful to God for what ever he has given me? After a few days of soul searching and releasing steam, I just learned that there are unfortunate souls around me. I know the fact that they exist but this time, the reality of it materialized before my eyes. Subhanallah.

Ya ALLAH, thank you for bestowing me all the luxuries that i enjoy on a day to day basis, whilst somewhere elsewhere, there are people who is not as lucky as i am. ALLAH. I'm scared and i feel small. Would all the luxuries drift me away from YOUR path? Would all the material luxury I enjoy, would in the end, put me in the place which i fear most? Gosh. I'm scared.

Tadi sementara nak tggu letrik ado balik kat bilik, sempat la chill-chill tengok ASTRO, suatu vacation yang jarang saya lakukan sebab tv tu selalu didominasi oleh Bapak saya. So sempat la tengok this Party Planner program thingy. Insta-Perty temanya, dalam 30 minit nak kene siapkan satu party, party harijadi ke 40 sorang minah susly di Manhattan. MRASA! *terus feeling SATC*.

Memandangkan segala set up tema Palm Beach ke Palm Springs kene dilakukan dalam masa 30 minit, so makanan jari *matila finger foods* atau Au D'urve *matila CA carut I* nye pun harus la dipreparasi dalam masa yang singkat. Ada satu resipi yang dikongsi bersama oleh hos rancangan itiew David Tutera dan jugak sorang Celeb Chef, yang juga penulis buku SLOB in THE KITCHEN *pi cari sendirik nah authornye - Duffy kot nama dia, bukan Daffy duck ek* I takleh recall nama resipi tu, tapi ia sangat sangat sangat mudah dan pasti Lea akan BUAT ENTRY lepas baca entry ini.. *matila i*

kita perlukan:

Roti Putih
Mayonis
Parmesan Cheese
Chopped Onion

Roti putih tu wud act as the base for the Canape, so boleh la pakai shot glass atau cookie cutter utk acukan base for the canape.

Kemudian, gaulkan chopped onion, Parmesan cheese (grated nah, bukan serbuk) dengan Mayonis *matila GEMUK* dan kemudian concoction ini di BLOB kan saje atas kepingan roti yang telah diterap. Masukkan dalam oven selama 4 minit sehingga ia keemasan. Aiyoh, leh imagine rasa dia.. NYUM!

ok ade lagi satu resipi, dia pakai udang instead of wings ayam. Ala2 Buffalo Wings lah katanya.

Bahan2

Udang hat besaq
melted 4 table spoon of butter
4 table spoon hot sauce *peri peri nando's tu ok u ols - i rasa dia pakai mende tu pun, sebab shape botol dia mcm botol peri peri sauce tu*

gaulkan hot sauce dan butter, kemudian masukkan udang itiew. Gaulkan, pas tu, letak atas baking sheet, bakaq 3 minit. SIAP!

Mudah kan? and I am very surprised, I MEMORISED the recipes! hehe. Alhamdulillah for that :). Mrasa la try. I nak try la buat Buffalo Wings - pakai Peri Peri sauce :D nyum nyum.

Ok la people. Have a great week ahead, insya ALLAH it wud be better dari yang lepas-lepas. To APEK, selamat memulakan tugas baru ye!

BISMILLAHIRRAHMANIRRAHIM

First and foremost nak TQ to ALLAH sebab I got to see the world again today. Hari ni kalau ikut Hijri Calendar, is 4 Rabiulawal 1428H. 31 years ago at about Maghrib time today *kire i patut sambut dr waktu Maghrib semalam.. lupe lak* I was brought to this world. I guess Im lucky to born a Muslim, why? sebab I dapat 2 tarikh lahir. Kalau ikut kalendar Gregorian (yang menjadi ikutan satu dunia) I was born on the 22nd of February 1977, which kalau follow Muslim Calendar falls on the 4th of Rabiulawal 1397Hijrah. Kalau ikut website ni *CLICK HERE* kat situ katanya 3 Rabiulawal, tapi ade error sket in term of 1 day. Memandangkan I lahir waktu Maghrib, so jadila 4hb Rabiulawal.

So, technically dan tak salahlah, hari ni my Birthday! till Maghrib that is. Kirenye sebak jugak terfikir, dah 31 tahun diberi oxygen, ade I give back ke kat supplier oxygen I tu? tsk tsk tsk. Takpelah. DIA tahu.

I meminta-minta padaNYA supaya diberi rahmat kepada kedua my parents, didunia dan di akhirat. I so so so so adore and love them and they deserve to be in ALLAH's gardens. Thank you ALLAH for everything. thank you for giving me a supportive family, true friends and a good job. Please help me go thru the rest of my oxygen-breathing days, at YOUR WILL.

Dearest Lea, thanks for your entry, yang hadiah u ols beri ari tu yang menyabung nyawa u ols tu pun i tak sempat publish lagi, isk isk. Thanks ye gal for your well wishes. Thank you also kat Apek yang SMS I tadi, also ABBY kat TB Ginger as well as Husz *I nak birthday present tawww - and u bloody know what I want!* Also to to Volks yang memberikan uchapan dan teguran berkenaan lahirhari saya :D. Tak lupa kat SOFEA di cbox Lea. May ALLAH bless you guys with wellness, kindness and prosperity.

Entry Nan Ado Gambau

Ni baru sampai umah dari main campus. Tadi bebudak skrin buat Promosi Filem, so this time around, filem terbaru Shuhaimi Baba, WARIS JARI HANTU (WJH) menjadi filem yang dipertontonkan dihadapan 1000 lebih siswa dan siswi dan sisrai dan siskid *matilakau Aumm! dari fakulti kami dan juga dari fakulti lain.

Sebelum I nak say anything about WJH, nak habaq sket la, awat la takdak usherer dalam dewan yang on standby? mana la tau ada pelawat ke ape ke mai kan, tak la terpinga-pinga nak dok mana kan? very tak hospitable, kang siapa yang malu? mereka dan keluarga mereka. Lagi satu, kalau buat opening tu, jangan la SYIOK SENDIRI, buat malu je. An opening act or gambit should be high paced and the ending should end with an explosive end, not a flat one. Oh yeah, dressing up in Puteri Perak costume to receive guests? OMG! Anak Raja ade ke menyambut orang? maybe kurang arif akan budaya sendiri, jadi la lagu tu. Oh ye, lagi satu, bab cakap dalam telefon, kalau tak tau siapa call, beradab la sedikit ye, jangan la dok jerit jerit tanya siapa, dan bila diberi salam, dibuat tak tahu. Isk, budak-budak sekarang, bakal lepasan Universiti, biasalah macam tu, kalau hat yang jantan dok tepon lagu tu leh laa dimaafkan, ni ANAK DARA sapa tatau?! kuang ajaq, terasa ati. So lain kali, please take note.

Ape laa pulak aku membebel ni, I'm not Fiebie yer, so takut lak terikut style penulisan dia lak kan? anyways, It is a very good effort la membawa masuk WJH untuk ditayangkan untuk pertama kali ke audien di DSB UiTM.

NAK TAU APA CITER WJH? CLICK HERE ONLY. *matilah ai AUMMMMM

Para pelakon-pelakonnyer piuler CLICK HERE and not anywhere else *die again AUMMM!

Para Pendokong Produksi WJH PICIT SINI! *matila Finger Therapy AUMMM

Ok la, u ols dah click HERE, HERE dan HERE kat ataih kan? so ini my view of WJH.

WJH bagi saya merupakan filem COMEBACK untuk Shumi. Saya merindui tekstura dan rasa dalam SELUBUNG dan kemewahan yang skandalisius dalam RINGGIT KASSORGA. Saya tidak terasa atau disentuh langsung dalam filem-filem arahan beliau selepas itu (Sedikit dalam Layar Lara) dan setelah PONTY I and II, inilah buah tangan dari Shumi yang benar-benar menyentuh rasa deria serta sanubari saya.

Isu-isu yang dipaparkan benar-benar berpijak dibumi yang nyata. Susunan plot dan sub-plotnya sangat bijak, ibarat menjalin helaian mengkuang dan akhirnya terhasil sebuah kelarai yang bermutu dan bernilai tinggi. Hati saya tertunggu-tunggu dan ternanti-nanti apakah yang akan berlaku seterusnya. Saya diberi masa untuk mengimbau scene-scene awal WJH untuk mendapatkan gambaran yang lebih luas tentang setiap watak dan perjalanan filem ini. Walaupun saya merasakan sesetengah karektor tidak dikembangkan serta dipertontonkan dengan baik, namun bagi saya tidak mencacatkan penceritaan dan kesan visualnya.

Pelakon-pelakon yang menyedapkan lagi rasa filem ini juga wajar saya berikan STANDING OVATION. Berani saya katakan bahawa barisan pelakon bagi WJH SANGAT KUAT! Pujian harus diberikan kepada Rusdi Ramli yang membawa watak ARI/ ARINA dengan jayanya. Pada awalannya, Rusdi kelihatan agak kaku membawa watak LELAKLEM, namun proses pertukaran diri Ari ke Arina *matilah SPOILER kan?! bak kata Tok Wan, macam baru keluar kepompong, is so true. Lakonan Rusdi memang lain dari lakonan beliau sebelum ini. Saya juga memberi tunduk hormat pada Rusdi kerana berani membawakan watak ini. Kalau beliau tidak dicalonkan sebagai Pelakon Lelaki Terbaik di PFM 2007, SAYA TATAU NAK KATA APA dah. Azean Irdawaty juga harus diberi pujian atas lakonan beliau. Berbaloi sangat lah Primadiva Malaya ini sampai lebam-lebam menjayakan WJH. Kasih seorang nenda kepada warisnya saya dapat rasakan, begitu juga seksanya beliau yang menyimpan saka keluarga. Pelakon-pelakon lain juga hebat. Nanu sebagai contoh, saya sangat suka lakonan beliau dikala Ari pulang ke kampung. Ketegangan dan kekecewaan tidak hanya zahir dari mimik wajah dan bahasa tubuh, namun cara beliau melontarkan vokalnya serta gestur yang halus dibuat, ADUH! menyentuh sekali! Inilah antara filem Melayu yang mengumpulkan pelakon-pelakon hebat. Tahniah kepada jurulatih lakon, Fatimah Abu Bakar. Sesungguhnya ketokohan beliau dalam membimbing pelakon untuk memberikan seperti apa yang saya tonton tadi kepada audien SANGAT MENYERLAH. Tahniah untuk semua pelakon WJH!

Isu-isu kemanusiaan seperti kekeluargaan, darah daging, identiti diri, seksualiti, perasaan, cinta, kasih dan sayang tak dilupa isu-isu berkenaan dengan MELAYU itu divisualkan dan dipersembahkan dengan baik sekali. Say amengharap, para penonton yang bakal menonton WJH dapat membaca dicelah-celah *not u lalat bernama CELAH* visual yang disajikan. Saya sendiri banyak belajar dan mengmuhasabah diri saya sendiri sepanjang menonton WJH. Saya berharap bagi mereka yang bakal menonton WJH akan demikian juga. Lihatlah diri sendiri, jadilah seorang yang analitikal serta berpendirian untuk menjadi manusia yang berguna. Tataplah visual, dengarkan suara, baukan perasaan, rasalah jiwa setiap karektor dan manfaatkannya.

apa lagi?... *gigih ni*

Sesungguhnya, filem yang mendapat sokongan dari KeKKWA ini menjadi kenangan akan bangsa Melayu yang sering diselubungi oleh hal ehwal dunia ghaib, yang ALLAH sahaja tahu akan kewujudannya.

Secara peribadi saya berani memberi 4 bintang untuk filem Waris Jari Hantu.

I would really suggest you readers to have time and watch WJH. InsyaALLAH, it would open up your minds about life and being human. Quoting from Sami Yusuf's ALLAHU:

He knows what is apparent and what is hidden
All of the fate of creation has already been written
His Will is always done
And can never be undone

The lyrics are actually excerpts from the HOLY QURAN, tak percaya? go read the translation!

Ok, mata dah mengantuk, badan miang, nak mandi manda sebelum roh dicabut buat sementara.

Oh! what a weekend - a posting w/out gambaq

2007-03-13T21:24:00.000+08:00

Entry tanpa gambaq

Gigih. That is all I could say. I took the extra length to go to Alor Star to get costumes for the coming showcase. So my mission took off on Saturday night, on board a Transnasional *bukan Trans America ek* off to Loq Staq. Kebetulan, Taj also going balik kampung that weekend sebab KB dia masa kecik2 dia nak kawin. Nama kawan dia Rohaya. So, jam 530 pagi dosi kesampaian di Shahab PErdana, lalu Rohaya dan kak nya mai la jemput kami. Pagi tu, lepaih morniang kopi O KAU cicah dengan Kuih Bangkit (or the other way round?) Sebelum ke umah Tok si Taj tu, mrasalah menjejaki kedai BUNDLE kat Gunung Kriang itiew. Ternampak sahaja tembok BERBENDERA MALAYSIA itiew.. hati jadi GIRANG, lebih girang bila melihat LONGGOKAN BAJU BAJAN SELUARANS BAGAI kat bahagian tengah bundle itiew. Click here here and here kalau nak tengok gambaq BUNDLE! *ai pinjam gambaq dari blog MW 2006, hik hik.. boleh nahh?? *

Kirenya, pagi tu, sesampai di rumah pusaka Tok si Taj neh, I pun DASZ! sambung ZZZZ sat, sambil ditemani kicauan burung, unggas desa, angsa dan juga suara-suara kanak-kanak bermain-main. Aiyo, lama sangat laa tak berada dalam keadaan macam tu. Memang relaxing! Lepas tu dalam kul 9 lebih, Taj ajak breakfast - TU DIAH! kuih setalam, also ado nasik lemak. Masa tu jugak la dok beramah mesra dgn Tok si Taj, Mak Ngah dia also. Sangat2 friendly dan hospitality mereka, hanya ALLAH ajelah yang membalasnya. Bila fikir balik kan, teringat masa kecik2 dulu kat Bukit China. Syahdu lak sat. Apa yang I tau, they made sure I did not go hungry and thirsty! hehe. Thank youuu sangat!

Lepas borak borak *semestinya I felt kekok sebab depa cakap utagha pekat aih! dah tu plak, Tok taj dok ask me this n that *alamak, I lupe lak, die kem salam kat my parents* hik hik. I plak, never la sangat pernah mrasa attention from a nenek kan? *I ada nenek tiri kat Melaka, she is my only surviving nenek around :)* kirenye rasa kekok la, dok maintain jer..hehe.

Lepas mandi manda dalam bilik aiyaq konsep Desa ye *last time was at Dik Ja's wedding* teruss la ke Bundle itiew.. kira-kira jam 11 pagi. Mak aihhhh..... NAIK GILA sat tengok segala baju yang ado. pilih pi, pilih mai, dok la hangkut macam2 ni! sedar tak sedar 3 jam kat situ! perut pun dosi DONDANG SAYANG. So, sementara dok pi mai pi mai cari baju kat situ dok la SMS dgn Lea, so kami janji, *BUKAN JANJI KIE ye* jumpa kat town, dekat area Menara Loq Staq for lunchies, so Taj pun memacu kereta pengantin ke arah sana, dimana, pada masa yang sama, Lea laa pulok sms, katanya kedai makan itu sangat ramai, so mrasalah kami dok mengekoq keta Lea ke mana tatau?! untuk Lunchies.

Yang ada masa lunchies itiew ialah Lea, Chef Aduka dan juge Rang*gedey*, me and Taj. So had lunch consist of nasik *matila sentap tgk Moon la ni* and lauk pauk rasa utara. Kat ne noh Lea tempat itiew? Sedap u ols! I hambek lauk yang takde kene mengena dgn seafood *now im allergic to prawns, sotong* Sedap and arasa mcm home cooked food.

Me and Taj took different roads lepaih tu. I went on dgn Lea, CA n Rang manakala Taj kesana kesini menyettlekan hal kenduri si Rohaya *matila pelamin pasang MALAM*

JALAN JALAN SAMBIL MAKAN

So mission petang itu adalah untuk repair PDA Lea kat Sentosa AKA Low Yat Loq Staq. So kami ke Sentosa, dah tu tak dapat lak apa dia nak, kami ke City Plaza, semata2 nak cari housing utk telefon dia. Lepas dok pi mai pi mai City Plaza, singgahlah di Uno Cafe yang wajib disinggahi and I had Sushi. i had Memaki and ado menu baru mem*ki. Bley? hik hik *die la CARUT* lepaih tu plak, tetiba datang ilham dari sapa ntah, dok main ubah lirik lagu neh, maka berpestalah Rang dan 5thE mroyaninasz dengan lirik2 lagu seperti

Engkau Chantekkk
Engkau Chantekkk
Engkauuu...
Chantek Kerr?! *to the tune of U're Beautiful - yang vid clip lelaki brani mati terjun aiyaq batu tu*

This went on sampai ke PACIFIC. Kami ke Pacific semata-mata untuk MAKAN! *tu diahhh* so kami pun pi la makan Laksa Lemak. Aiyoh. VAST skali laksa reccomendation CA dan Rang itu. Memang SESUAI la dok MAKAN aje ari tu. hik hik. Selepas kekenyangan, maka, kami pun reronda la Pacific Mall itiew. Singgah ke Reject Shop, bertujuan untuk berjumpa seorang yang reject, namun, orang itu tidak ada. Tapi I ended up buying myself a shirt at RM 19. hik hik. GIRANG!

Lepas pi Pacific, mula la acara mencari hotel. Huhu, I knew it was cuti sekolah, but I sure didnt know it was UUM's convo as well, mrasalah ASRC penuh, MIRAMA penuh, Flora Inn penuh.. aiayayaiii... semua penuh sey! last2 pi la this cheapo hotel dekat SM called Casablanca. Ok la, sekadar tempat utk tido for teh night at rm50. Bilik ala kadar, tapi selesa. Tup2 kami dok lepak dalam bilik sambil Rang menggayakan baju2 bundle yang dibeli earlier. Dah tu plak, I was commisioned by Lea to visualise and illustrate her dresses *kayo pak cik*, tu u ols kene la tunggu Lea hupdate kat blog dia nah?! So setelah lelepak sehingga jam 9 lebih, perut kembali BERDONDANG SAYANGGG *matila ai* So, i plak gatai mau la cari itu teket bas pagi esok malam itu juga, so kami ke Shahab Perdana untuk usha teket bas. Aiyooo... Kan! teket untuk Isnin pagi KEHABISAN... Jelita, Durian Burung, Sri Maju.. all snapped up. Aiseh! mapos gue! last2 pi balik counter Transnasional.. the only available ticket - and the LAST ONE is seat 11c on the Midnight bus. TERUS SAMBAR! aiyo. Kempot la Isnin tu, tatau nak buat apa sebab tak plan nak stay another day. Masa tu kepala otak dok pikiaq ebdak nak show esoknye, dah tu, dok terpikir hal itu ini kat opis.. isk isk. Kempot!

Anyways, lepas Lea sent me back to the hotel, I ols mandi manda bagai. Kul 11 CA akan fetch I and go merempits *die la tak sker naik moto* ala-ala katanya nak pi lepak dengan geng2 Loq Staq kat mana.. tatau?! *la la la* So malam tu, setelah merempit dgn CA ke suatu lokasi yang I pun tatau mana *la la la* dapatla jumpe dengan Zack Zaly, Mail Tok Wan Rock dan lelain. Dok borak2 sampai kul 2. Paih tu kawan si Tengku Puteri Zackiyah Hagham Jadah tolong hantaqkan I pulang ke hotel. Sampai hotel, ape lagi.. ZZZ je lah.

Pagi esok tu, bangun fresh. Lama tak bangun rasa mcm tu, segau bugau. Not knowing what to do, solepak2 la tengok TV. Pas tu Taj sms, dia kata dia in town, hantaq pengantin siapkat kedai. Dia soh i packup segala and checkout, dia nak hangkut I pi kenduri. Makan free katanya.. dah tu dia habaq, siap tumbang Kerbau sekoq! fuyooo! this i cant wait! So, isnin pagi tu bekpas sat kat town, pi la jemput Rohaya, yang siap berbaju pengantin ni! siap mekap bagai dan bawak dia balik umah dia. Me yang dah ado nothing to do tu, pose pose je la kat umah Pengantin, tolong2 apa yang patut, sempatla jugak alter tudung and touch up make up. Pas tu, MAKAN! nasik yang dimasak secara pakatan sekampung, berlaukkan kerbau masak kicap, kerbau kari, ikan temenung masak cuka dan jelatah. SEDAP SANGAT! lepas makan, mule la mata tingtong, so balik la kami ke umah Tok Taj, sebelum sampai tu, Taj siap ni, ronda abes kampung dia tunjuk I itu ini. What i realised is, rumah melayu Kedah sangat unik ye style nye, sangat tinggi daya cipta dan pemikiran org Melayu sebenarnya. Baiklah dari sudut functionality, usage of space dan juga estetiknya, rumah Melayu Kedah ni juga berteraskan konsep syariat Islam whan it comes to space. Sayang banyak rumah-rumah tu ditinggalkan mereput ditelan zaman. Petang tu plak, lepas rehat2 sat, Taj bawak I pi the other side of Loq Staq, belah mak dia pulak. So pi la here n there, siap ke Bee Bee Park ye! klasss umah style 60'an. Lepaih pi visit umah Aunty dia, Lea telah SMS i soh pi opis dia, dan kat ana, dijamu dengan MURTABAK dan Mee Gorengs. Thank you Lea! Lepas lepak2 meroyankan diri kat opis Lea, terus balik ke Sg Baru, freshen up katanya sebelum ke umah pengantin semula to say bye bye. Oh yer, sepupu si Taj ni lak, dpt result SPM dia, 8A's and 1B. Tahniah pada beliau. Semoga ALLAH memenuhi kehendaknya yang mahu menjadi Doktor. Hope he get's a place at Uni.

So, lepas pi say bye bye kat Rohaya, Taj pun hantaq la I ke Shahab Perdana, just in time.

Kiranya, trip ke Loq Staq setelah setahun 3 bulan lalu sememangnya ad-hoc and unplanned, but I really had an enjoyable time, and best of all, getting to meet all these beautiful people, namely Mak Ngah, Rohaya, Tok, Taj's aunts n uncles. Thank you for the hospitality, sememangnya hanya ALLAH yang dapat balas budi u ols kat I sepanjang my short visit to Loq Staq. Ada rezeki, akan sampai lagi ke sana :).

Gempa, break in and a stressful yet fun week - aduiii

2007-03-08T00:00:00.000+08:00

First of all. Gempa di Sumatera Barat. Subhanallah. Speechless, walhal baru beberapa malam sebelum tu br tgk show STSI di Padang Kelab Sultan Suleiman, Kg Bharu KL. So, I sms la one of the dancers yang Tini kenalkan I. Bertanyakan khabar. Ini jawabnya:

Adong: Alhamdulillah, keadaanku ngak begitu parah. Pusat gempa di padangpanjang, kota tempat kami sekolah, keadaan kota morat marit.

Tak terbayang the calamity. Terkenang pula gempa Jogja tahun lepas. Subhanallah. Bersabar ajelah dan ingat ajela kat DIA. Tak terkata dan terbayang if it happen to me. Baca headline Harian Metro ari ni (7/3/07) pun dah cukup memilukan. I tak bley la baca berita2 macam tu *siapa nak tau, google la HArian Metro 7 Mac 2007* I tak sanggup nak tulis headline tu, it's quite painful. Didoakan semoga mereka yang diuji itu bersabar.

Dah tu pulak, my mom called me petang tadi, masa tengah kelas mekap. Ingatkan saje2 kol tanye balik makan ke idok, ghupenye, ado citer lain jugak. Ada orang tried to break in, hamba ALLAH tu dah tebuk our front glass sliding door. My mom had it replaced ASAP, paih tu report polis, polis kata diorg mmg buat rondaan kat area ni, tapi sebab hamba ALLAH tu tak jejak dalam rumah, no point buat report *helo?! at least take note la kan* Subhanallah. Terlintas lak kisah si Fiebie kene cik Romps kat umah kawan dia, which was frightening jugak. Mmg akhir zaman kot, sebab manusia takut pada manusia, dan tak takut pada ALLAH. That goes for me too. Ouch!

I just realised today, I like to say the word 'ADOI' or OUCH. gosh, that sounds no good! It's like whining or complaining, and I know I should never la komplen about anything. I should take it slowly in it's stride. What ever it is. I counted myself saying ADOI 5-6 times lepas meeting kat main campus tadik. Adoi. HOI! *ouch*

InsyaALLAH, akan sampai ke Loq Staq Sunday pagi, semata2 nak source costume for RAM. Hope i'm gonna have a great weekend, Insya ALLAH.

Oh ye, tadi pegi Corp Com UiTM hantaq barang, tup tup pi la tanya pasai Harris Foto, budak my batch kat AD dulu, pernah la couple dgn Armi. Punye la terkejut when En Zaki, staff kat situ habaq, Harris meninggal few months back. I tergamam, nak nangis pun ade. I was in total SHOCK. Al Fatihah untuk Arwah yang now hanya tunggu masa utk diadili. Subhanallah. Arwah meninggal of Colon Cancer. Ya ALLAH, rahmatilah semua kawan2 dan kenalan2 ku. Pimpinlah kami je jalan MU dan temukanlah kami denganMU di salah satu taman-tamanMU. Amin.

2007-02-22T14:18:00.000+08:00

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

Allahyarham Sudirman dalam kenangan. Dah 15 tahun arwah dijemputNYA sementara menantikan hari ketentuan itu. I grew up listening to arwah. Basikal Tua, Punch Card, Hujan, *tulis nama atas batu*, Salam Terakhir, Kulit, One Thousand Million Smile, Chow Kit Road dan banyak lagi memberi seribu kenangan of my childhood days.

*gambar dari web perpustakaan negara Malaysia*

Ingat lagi pagi 22hb Februari 1992, I was in form 3, the news broke out kul 9 - 10 macam tu. Mula-mula takde apa-apa, tapi lepas tu, dok belek la URTV hat lama-lama tu, ada column kartun by arwah. I followed the series, dari dia kecik sampai la cerita dia adult. Rasa macam dekat lak, walhal, he does not even know me.

Apa-apa hal pun, hari ni genaplah 15 tahun arwah meninggalkan dunia ni. Al Fatihah.

Happy 4th Birthday Poissondepisces!

2007-02-22T01:02:00.000+08:00

2007-01-22T01:51:00.000+08:00

This entry would be a quickie. Its 2 am and I have class at 930.

Went to Bukit Jalil to witness the 21st AJL by TV3. Tickets were compliments from Laurielle's friend (siapa I tatau?!) to Lea's friend @ TV3, Thank You.

Congratulations Azlan Abu Hassan (a BBian) and Kak Adibah Noor on the win. Wow, U deserve that Kak Diba. Alhamdulillah. Your show touched my innerself, and I was more touched with the recitation of the translation of Surah Al An'Am (If not mistaken). Subhanallah.

Met Kak Dibah at a function circa June 2006

As for Warkah Buat Laila, I am so gonna get the lyrics and go through it line by line. It's an inspiration.

Quoting Kak Dibah's acceptance speech, she Thanks ALLAH for giving the idea to her and Azlan to write the winning song. It reminded me of my self discovery in late 2004 (the entry is in my archive circa Nov 2004 - Feb 2005). Subhanallah.

On a lighter note: quoting Hazami : Saya PERIANG, and Volks nudged me to ask me to translate it into English. Oh my... hehehe

On a serious note on AJL: Aidil Ghaffar SHOULD NOT HAVE MENTIONED about FILLING UP the empty seats on terrace 1. It could have caused a few lives with the stampede of people from Terrace two, trying to get good seats at Terrace One. I would do an entry of that later. Need to get some shut eye.

Dearest Kak Dibah, Congratulations. U deserve the win, and for me, ini berkat kesabaran Kak Dibah selama ini tan tawakal Kak Dibah kepadaNYA. Subhanallah.

`Kadang-kadang Allah sembunyikan matahari. Dia datangkan petir dan kilat...kita menangis dan tertanya-tanya ke mana hilangnya sinar... rupanya-rupanya Allah nak hadiahkan kita pelangi...'

Wallahualam what ALLAH has in store for us. Just wait as with HIS his will, it will prevail. If a long lost friend is reading this (you know who you are), lets just look ahead, pray and hope for the best. What ever has passed, has already passed and we are still present in time. So live it day to day. Accept oneself as oneself, discover oneself as one discovers himself.

Berita Harian 2/1/2007

2007-01-02T09:59:00.000+08:00

A very interesting article in today's Berita Harian. Just ponder upon what and who we are, and what are we suppose to be.

Malapetaka satu ujian Tuhan kepada manusia
Oleh Norakmah Mat Youb

AMAT jelas seperti yang sering diingatkan ulama bahawa setiap kejadian mempunyai hikmah dan pengajaran. Lazimnya, bencana alam sering dikaitkan dengan kesalahan manusia menguruskan alam sekitar, tetapi tidak ramai melihat dari sudut agama iaitu angkara manusia lalai terhadap perintah Allah SWT.

Bagaimanapun, hakikatnya, ancaman paling bahaya terhadap alam sekitar datangnya daripada tangan manusia sendiri, yang dipertanggungjawabkan sebagai pemegang amanah daripada Tuhan tetapi tidak melaksanakan dengan sebaik-baiknya.

Manusia lupa bahawa mereka dianugerahkan amanah yang tidak sanggup dipikul makhluk Allah lain iaitu menjadi khalifah yang menjaga dan menguruskan bumi tetapi amanah itu mula dikhianati dan tanggungjawab menjaga serta menguruskan bumi dan isinya diganti dengan kebinasaan berterusan.

Pegawai Hal Ehwal Islam, Pusat Pemulihan Akidah, Jabatan Agama Islam Malaysia (Jakim), Mohd Kamil Mat Salleh berkata, fenomena alam seperti hujan ribut, panas terik, taufan, banjir kilat dan gempa bumi bukan sesuatu yang pelik kerana ia dijadikan Allah SWT dan semestinya mempunyai hikmah.

Namun, beliau berkata, apabila bencana itu berlaku secara tiba-tiba tanpa persediaan awal, ia menjadi igauan ngeri bagi mereka melaluinya. Ia juga sebagai ujian daripada Allah SWT terhadap hambanya untuk melihat keikhlasan mengharungi semua ujian.

“Pastinya, penyelidik, ahli kaji bumi dan kaji cuaca giat mencari punca serta penyelesaian kepada bencana itu dan sebagai seorang yang beriman dengan Allah SWT kita hendaklah percaya bahawa ia bukan hanya berpunca daripada perubahan cuaca, bumi atau faktor alam semata-mata malahan ia ketentuan Allah SWT.

“Allah SWT mampu menjadikan sesuatu walaupun di luar jangkauan fikiran manusia. Segala yang berlaku hendaklah dikaitkan dengan kekuasaan Allah SWT sebagai suatu ujian kepada hamba-Nya.

“Inilah yang dikatakan dengan ujian kehidupan manusia. Ujian kehidupan yang amat banyak sehingga manusia berasa sempit dadanya, tidak mampu ditanggung badannya dan akal fikiran. Hanya orang yang melaluinya dapat merasakan kepahitan dan kepayahan segala dugaan itu. Ini juga ketetapan Allah SWT yang mengkehendaki manusia kembali memikirkannya,” katanya.

Beliau berkata, al-Quran ada menceritakan bagaimana hujan, panas, ribut, taufan yang dihantar kepada manusia. Setiap kejadian itu adalah rahmat bagi seluruh alam untuk pelbagai kegunaan kehidupan harian.

“Ini dinyatakan Allah SWT dalam Surah al-Baqarah ayat 22 bermaksud: "Dialah yang menjadikan bumi ini untuk kamu sebagai hamparan, dan langit (serta segala isinya) sebagai bangunan (yang dibina dengan kukuhnya), dan diturunkan-Nya air hujan dari langit, lalu dikeluarkan-Nya dengan air itu berjenis-jenis buah-buahan yang menjadi rezeki bagi kamu, maka janganlah kamu mengadakan bagi Allah sebarang sekutu padahal kamu semua mengetahui (bahawa Allah ialah Tuhan Yang Maha Esa)".

“Seperti diketahui ujian yang dilalui kaum terdulu sesetengahnya lebih dahsyat seperti kaum Ad (nabi Hud), kaum Thamud (nabi Salih), kaum Luth. Jelas disebutkan oleh al-Quran kerana tidak mahu menerima ajaran yang dibawa Nabi,” katanya.

Beliau berkata, selagi bergelar manusia, mereka akan diuji dengan bermacam ujian, cuma berbeza hanyalah jenisnya. Jika dikenakan ujian haruslah bersyukur dan berusaha memperbaiki kelemahan diri sendiri.

“Sentiasalah bersabar dengan ujian yang melanda dan mengaitkan sesuatu yang berlaku dengan kekuasaan Allah SWT tidak hanya kerana faktor perubahan cuaca ataupun bumi saja tetapi kita mesti bertindak pantas menangani setiap musibah.

“Perlu diingatkan sekali lagi bahawa setiap yang berlaku itu untuk dijadikan pengajaran dan peringatan kepada manusia supaya tidak terleka mentadbir alam ini,” katanya.

Eid Ul Adha and end of 2006 (Published 31 Dec 06)

2006-12-31T15:43:00.000+08:00

Salam Eid Ul Adha

Eid Ul Adha is to commemorate the sacrifice by Prophet Ibrahim of his son, Ismail (Peace be upon them). Prophet Ibrahim had dreamt earlier that he sacrificed his beloved son, Ismail (PBUT). Ismail being devoted to ALLAH, said to his father that he is willing to be sacrifed by Ibrahim if that is wanted by ALLAH through his father's dream. As Ibrahim had already held his son to be sacrificed, ALLAH SWT, Almighty and Gracious exchanged Ismail with a Kibbas. This action was commemorated by Rasulullah SAW a few thousand years later.

Subhanallah Walhamdulillah Lailahailallah Allahuakbar. As I was driving to GIANT KJ to get some stuff for my mom, I sat, and gave a thought, would I go to that extent to sacrifice myself to ALLAH? HE is my creator, HE has set my everything to HIS clock and has had it written and programmed. Have I sacrificed for HIM? No. I dont even pray 5 times a day. And i guess HE had given me SOO MANY THINGS that i enjoy and like, but have I sacrificed the nikmat or enjoyment for HIM? ..... *diam sat*

This year, Eid Ul Adha coincides with the end of the Greogorian calendarof the year 2006. Ironic. I dhould sacrifice more for the year 2007. I have not done enough, not for myself, but for God. Gosh, I wonder how I could go on living on HIS land, breathing HIS oxygen and yet do things that is just, in a way, unthankful for.

Oh ALLAH, I am asking to YOU to please please and please guide me so that I would sacrifice to your righteous path. The guilt is unbearable everytime I think of it. Oh ALLAH, Almighty ALLAH. as the day turns to 2007, i beg YOU to help me let go of things that is deemed unnecessary. Oh ALLAH, my parents too, has sacrificed a big deal for me, please bless them, and when YOU take them away, please put them in one of your seven heavens. They had done so many good and again, sacrificed so much for me. Please bless those who has sacrificed their time, money and their life for other people as well. YOU know best oh ALLAH.

Found and interesting article in Utusan.com.my regarding Masjidil Haram and Eid Ul Adha. (31/12/2006)

SOALAN: Saya tidak nampak bagaimana hubungan antara Islam dengan Masjidilharam dan selain daripada ia Rukun Islam kenapa diwajibkan mereka yang ada kemampuan sahaja datang mengunjunginya. Dan apa hubungan ibadat korban pada hari Raya Korban?

– Ismail, Kuala Kangsar

JAWAPAN: Di sini banyak terdapat hubungan antara keduanya yang menjadikan ibadat haji atau mengunjungi Baitullah salah satu rukun agama.

Pertama, Masjidilharam itulah masjid yang pertama dibangunkan atas muka bumi ini sebagai rumah ibadat kepada Allah.

Kedua, ia adalah lambang kemenangan, keesaan dan ketuhanan Allah atas tuhan yang lain.

Ketiga, inilah bangunan yang mulia yang dibangunkan oleh dua Nabi dan Rasul a.s, Nabi pilihan, yang telah meninggalkan contoh pengorbanan yang terbaik yang mana seorang daripada keduanya ialah sebagai ayah yang berjaya mengharungi lautan api dengan selamat demi menentang penyembahan yang selain Allah. Itulah dia bapa dan datuk kita Nabi Ibrahim saperti yang telah dirakamkan dalam al-Quran surah al-An'am ayat 79 yang bermaksud: Sesungguhnya aku hadapkan mukaku untuk tuhan pencipta langit dan bumi dengan lurus (dan patuh sebagai penyerahan sepenuh hati). Dan seorang lagi anaknya yang telah berjaya melalui ujian getir dengan mengorbankan dan menyerahkan dirinya sendiri untuk disembelih oleh ayahnya sendiri yang juga telah dirakamkan dalam al-Quran dengan firman-Nya yang bermaksud, “Wahai ayahku! lakukanlah apa yang diperintahkan itu nanti kamu akan dapati aku dari kalangan orang yang sabar (melaksanakan perintah) (as-saffat ayat 102). Itulah Nabi Ismail a.s menjadi lambang seorang anak yang soleh dan taat setia dan di kagumi dan disanjung tinggi.

Inilah antara pengajaran korban yang kita lakukan sekarang, tetapi malangnya apa yang kita lakukan adalah sebaliknya. Kita hanya sembelih binatang tetapi tidak mengorbankan nafsu jahat dalam diri kita. Cuma binatang sembelihan yang mati tetapi sikap buruk kita masih bermaharajalela kerana kita lakukan ibadat korban itu hanya pada lahir tanpa disertakan dengan perasaan ikhlas dan ketakwaan kepada Allah s.w.t.

Allah berfirman yang bermaksud: Tidak akan sampai kepada Allah itu daging dan darah qurban tetapi yang sampai kepada-Nya takwa dari kalangan kamu semua (Surah al-hajj ayat 37).

Sikap pengorbanan atau ketakwaan inilah yang menjadi inti sari dari segala ibadat haji dan korban.

Begitu juga ibadat solat yang kita lakukan amat berkait rapat dengan bangunan rumah ibadat yang pertama ini. Allah s.w.t. menghendaki supaya seluruh umat bersatu padu dan bersama-sama menghadap ke arah kiblat rumah-Nya yang satu dan bagaimana tinggi dan sucinya hubungan seluruh rumah ibadat di segenap pelosok dunia ini dengan rumah Allah s.w.t. tersebut. Bagaimana rapat dan eratnya hubungan seluruh umat Islam hingga akhir zaman dengan datuk pertama mereka Ibrahim a.s.

Agama yang kita terima dan anuti hari ini, masih bersih dan suci seperti dahulu. Itulah Islam yang maha suci ajaran agama sejak dari Adam, Noh hinggalah ke Ibrahim a.s. dan sampai kepada kita hari ini. Adapun ajaran yang lain itu sudah diseleweng atau terpesong dari ajaran agama asal yang sebenar dan sudah banyak bercampur aduk dengan berbagai-bagai tahayul dan khurafat. Penyembahan atau menghambakan diri kepada Allah telah bertukar kepada penyembahan kepada makhluk-Nya. Kebebasan yang diberikan Islam itu berubah menjadi berkasta-kasta, ada yang mulia dan hina, ada tuan dan ada hamba. Bila seseorang berada di padang Arafah akan lahirlah persamaan, persaudaraan, perpaduan dan keadilan dan hakikat kehambaan sebenar hanya kepada Allah s.w.t. Wallahualam.

Ok, before I finish off this entry, I just want to jot down something that I want to share with you readers out there.

2007 - Alhamdulillah at the time im writing this @ 3.02pm on the 31st of Dec 06, I am still around, stil breathing and full after eating the goodies my mom made for Eid. I just want to look back to 1977 - the year I was born, so in the Greogorian calendar, I would be turning 30 come February 22nd.

1977

22nd February @ 7.10pm, after nine months in my mother's womb, ALLAH had blessed my parents with a baby boy. My mom told me that I was hairy then (am now too) and my facial feature is actually lobsided, that explains my tooth problems I had in 2003. Well, Alhamdulillah, I can see, hear, smell, taste and touch. Alhamdulillah.

1987

I was in standard 4. 4 Cempaka to be exact and Puan Nik Abdah was my class teacher, God Bless her. '87 was the year I started to get involved in SHOWS *Lea, eat ur heart out* hehe. I joined the school choir and performed as a chorus in an operetta with FAIRIES. YES, I was 10 and was already performing songs with FAIRIES as the theme. DIE DIE DIE, look at me 20 years later! LOL! Anyways, '87 was my best year in primary school. I just dont know why. Oh yeah, I started wearing long pants to school when I was in standard 4. Erm, ALLY ISKANDAR of TV3 was in the choir too. la la la. That was the year my parents performed their Haj *huhu 20 years ago TODAY* . I listened to almost what ever my eldest sister listened to, If not mistaken, FREEDOM was quite a hit in '87.

1997

I was at the end of my 2nd year (Sem 4) and begining of my 3rd year (Sem 5) at ITM. I REPEAT, ITM. Sem 4 was again, the best semester ever. Why? I had Cik Najib as my design lecturer and my Figure Drawing lecturer- Pattern drafting too!. Boy, did he open my mind and how supportive he is towards his students. I still have the garment I did from that semester!. It wasin '97 too, that I made it to the finals of Anugerh Benang Emas, using Pua Kumbu as my inspiration. It was that year too where I failed my Pattern Drafting III. Mrs Teh said I need more training. Well, it helped :). It was the year where I met Oda, fellow finalist of ABE. I started driving in '97 as well. Florathon, Festival Teater Selangor amongst other things I got involved with in '97. Boy bands were huge - backstreet boys, N'Sync, Take That etc. Gosh, that WAS 10 YEARS AGO! still UNDERAGED. LALALALA.

and.....

apa expectation for 2007?

Well, I leave it to ALLAH. I would just go with the flow. I know ALLAH knows what is best for me. But basically I would want:

nak jadi lebih taat pada ALLAH

I guess as I am climbing the stairs of age, I should really give this a serious thought. I should sacrifice more for my religion and race, as well as being patriotic. What ever it is, I know it very well that I am nearing, yes, Sakratul Maut. I have to gear up and I have to do it on my own. I would not want to meet HIM unprepared or with not enough deeds to repay what HE had blessed me with or the past, yes, 30 years.

nak be extra dedicated to work

Im not saying that Im not dedicated to my employer, I am. But I want to give back more to what they had given me (scholarship n job). I want my students to gain knowledge and share what ever I know with them. I want to be more patient and cool in dealing with them, as well as to the people around my working environment. Insya ALLAH

nak buat publication

Yep. I have to write and get it published. I want to make my dream of a coffee table book become a reality and insya ALLAH, 2007 would be a great start.

nak simpan duit

I have to be more serious about saving up. My hobby is actually eating up my salary. What are my hobbies? hehehe, for those who knows, knows, but to those who does not, do ask me. *Die la Miss Excuses.

a better son and brother

I want to spend more time with my ageing parents. I would not be here if it was not for them. They sacrificed a lot to bring me up and it is pay back time. 30 years and I'm still living with them. Well, I am the youngest anyway.

What ever it is, I may plan things, but it is ALLAH who decides. Kun Fa Ya Kun. I hope I would be a thankful person, a grateful person, a sincere person in what ever I do. Ya ALLAH, please guide me. I do not want to put high expectation on myself as I do not want to get hurt unnecesarily. And yeah, I NEED TO SHED KILOS - QUICK!! I need to reallyt take care of my health. I do not want to go back to my Creator with clogged arteries, dysfunctional liver etc. God had entrusted us to keep them well, for me, its like a test.

To my readers, as I am typing this entry, the Takbir Raya is playing on IKIM.FM. I pray that we would all succeed in this world and the hereafter. Wishing all of you a happy eid and a happy 2007 ahead.

First and foremost, I would want to say ALHAMDULILLAH. Thank you ALLAH for giving my students the chance to perform KALUT at the MAKUM Theatre Festival which ended tonight. Even though we only managed to get the Juries Award for Most Hopeful Group, yet personally, we had already won on the day of performance upon the reception of laughter from the audience.

The comments made by the juries made sense and we learnt a lot from this experience. The flaws are being noted and would be looked into once term begins, and performances of the adaptation of Run From Your Wife by Rooney would be staged in 2007.

UPSI got first placing, and is followed by UM and UKM.

My personal thanks to:

My Big Boss: Prof Dr Hatta Azad Khan, En Hamzah Tahir, En Mazlan Tahir, Pn Umi, Tech Staff @ FACT, Honda, Mr Aidi, Colleagues from the Theatre Dept @ FACT, Mus Pusat Kebudayaan, the organisers.

Thank you for all the support you have given to the students. If not for your supportive comments and emotional support, the students would have not been where they are now. Even though they did not bring back the trophy, but staging Kalut representing the Faculty and University with your support means so much to the hard working students who spent their Term break focusing for this play.

Not forgetting the director: Iskandar @ Dat, Asst Dir: Azhar, actors and crew.

A JOB WELL DONE. we learn as we progress and winning does not matter. You guys showed your best effort and I am so proud of you guys. The most rewarding moment for me is when the audience LAUGHED their heart out (not forgetting what En Othman mentioned, that HE LAUGHED HARD and when he mentioned THE NAMES OF THE CHARACTER) - PRECIOUS and CLASSIC! We could never re-live that moment in time again. Always treasure this moment.I hope no one is frustrated. Please dont. We have done our part well, and what we've done has been rewarded - by the juries at ALLAH's will. It has been fated and we have to Redha. Ada hikmah besar yang tersembunyi. PErcayalah, so i really hope none of you guys are frustrated with the results.

Is: I respek u took the challenge to direct KALUT and be different from the rest. I know u were kind of resentful at first tapi ini satu pengalaman yang berharga bukan? U can go REALLY FAR! Insya ALLAH.

Mus: Thank u 4 giving us this opportunity and thank u for being there for the students.

Syali: for a first timer, doing Artistic Direction : NOT BAD! u also can go far :)

Norez: Tahniah! I want you to keep the pace of your work now, gear up for final year ni. Awak boleh buat dan ruang untuk kamu maju masih terbuka. Keep it up :)

Jannah n 'Aina : Teruskan apa u ol buat, and I know you have passion for it. Thrive further and be where you want to be. Insya ALLAH. Oh yea, thanks 4 the bitchin' about kat DTC, hehehe.

Mali, Botak, Naim, Farid, Adzlan dll yang I tak ingat nama: Korang memang la bekerja keras buat flats etc. Ilmu ni in future insya ALLAH leh jadi ibu duit, Teruskan keje u ol. Buat yang junior2 tu, I hope this experience membuka lagi pandangan u ol about what power we have in the industry dalam masa hadapan. So, WORK N STUDY HARD!

Khalis: Awak ni MEMANG BERBAKAT! Technical ko bole masuk, ko bole menyanyi, ko bole menari, dan ko bole berlakon. Work HARDER to be the HARDEST- camna tu tatau?! Lipat gandakan usaha kamu, insya ALLAH, kamu akan berada jauh lagi kedepan. Sempat lagi tau.

Fiza, Hanim: Watak kecil tapi impak besar. Teruskan usaha kamu. Selalu focus apa yang kamu lakukan dan insya ALLAH, akan lebih kehadapan.

Farhana and Su: pada saya, watak2 Bibi and Mimi tu HIDUP. Teruskan lagi usaha, dan bakat tu dipelihara, dipupuk dan dijaga macam menatang minyak yang penuh. Giatkan lagi usaha kamu dan teruskan perjuangan kamu dalam lapangan yang dipilih ini.

Farrah: I cant say anything about the Play Bill and Pamphlet sebab it is very unique. The text was translated well visually on the posters. Keep it up.

Suriati dan Yang lain-lain yang saya tak mention nama: Teruskan usaha kamu semua, segala ilmu yang ditimba, harus dikeluarkan balik dan dipraktik. Diharap proses KALUT telah membantu kalian mampraktikkan segala teori dalam kuliah. Work hard utk sem akan datang.

Cherish and be thankful to ALLAH for the moments you guys (and me also) went through to materialise KALUT. We DID ENTERTAIN THE AUDIENCE, and it was PROVEN. SO SO SO PROUD OF U GUYS. So, rest for now, get ready for the new Term soon and FOCUS. Let us all join hands to make UiTM proud of us.

Jazakallahu Khair

Time for MUHASABAH DIRI?

2006-12-23T07:45:00.000+08:00

With what is happening around us in Malaysia nowadays, Is it time for us to sit down alone, and think of our doings?

Have we gone overboard? have we gone beyond the limits? are we being unthankful for HIS rezki, pleasures and oxygen? ......

Wallahualam. But with what is happening in Johor, Melaka and the rest of the affected areas, I think it is time to look back at ourselves and remember ALLAH all the time. Maybe we had gone over the top. Wallahualam.

What ever it is, ALLAHUAKBAR! ALLAH is GREAT.

Jazakallahu Khair
