EntryPicisan: Hectic September

Assalamualaikum, greetings.

Just got back from pimpin siswa siri 2 at the D'Puncak Beris camp as facilitator mind you uollss.

Quite tiring, but at the same time enjoyable also. Got to mingle around with juniors...hee ;) and whatnot.

So, after getting a power sleep last night, here I am writing this post first thing in the morning.

And sehari sebelum pi ke kem tu, kena jaga sife booth kat DTSP untuk rekrut juniors masuk sife. Tak tersangka sambutan hangat pulak drpd diorang kan.

Therefore, we'll need to do some screening, maybe interviews utk determine that those who got in must be willing to give their 100%.

There, another workload waiting for all of us next week or another week after that. Huhu.

Actually ada sikit rasa terbeban nih...mengenangkan report LI x siap lagi ni.

Hasratnya nak siapkan report tu dulu baru start kerja2 translate app umrah tu.

Oh, lupe nak gtau. Aku diupah untuk translate app umrah for android; "m umrah" boleh jumpa kat google playstore kalau search. It's free, and it is considered as part of USM's CSR in developing this app for the masses.

Aku amik la jgak kerja translate sbg permulaan n mungkin masa lain semak grammar thesis student arab pulok. RM15 per page for a thesis yang page blh menjangkau 200+ pages, sape xnak? Hehe.

Yela, kena cari duit simpanan untuk masa depan jugak kan? Nafkah ke?  #eh

LOL XD 

Jadi, aku dibekalkan dengan sebijik Galaxy tab 2 for this thing la....tapi balik2 kem ni rs mcm masa tu tight sgt. Huhu.

Ada la terasa stress sikit o_O
Kalo ada kerja tertangguh walau sdikit, otak aku akan pressure aku utk remind aku ttg kerja tu. Selagi xsiap, selagi tu la dia akan pressure aku. Huhu.

Kena la rancang masa betul2. Nak siapkan translating work tu by the end of this month, sementara report tu nak siapkan by this week lahh.

Tu saje :)

Ends©

Nota kaki:

1. Inset: salah satu snap2 scenery dari kem. Cun kan? Subhanallah!

2. Insya Allah, akan kembali ke kem tu lagi untuk siri 3 pulak. [ $$ ka-ching!]

EntryPicisan: Semester Tiga.

A notable figure once said this : 

"Sometimes I feel like a little kid trapped in this 21 year-old body...."

Ok that's it. I've said it. 

*for those who didn't get it, that was a quote I quoted from myself = quoteception ye*

Assalamualaikum, greetings! 

Stepping into second day in this third semester of mine, sometimes I felt as if time is moving faster year by year when actually it is! *duhhhh*

At the time of writing, I have just finished putting the final touches in my room, having done cleaning, unpacking and tidying things up around here....nice view la. They've transferred all of us EFP students into one cubicle! Now that's what I call über cool~ 

New semester means new spirit! Right. After that little 'bump' during last semester, it somehow affects me (very little I might add) and well, as I had done the impossible during asasi time, I am sure insya Allah I can do the same thing here. Amin. 

Regarding my stint as a trainee journalist at The Sun Penang Bureau, all I can say is I learned A LOT. It opened my eyes, thus resetting my worldview.

Jadi MATURE sikit la gamaknye *coughs* 

 Yes, what my boss said during that 'interview' prior to the day I started working there was right, "this experience will change you,". And here I am, testifying to that statement. 

What I gained could not be bought by money as it is priceless in its own right. And by right, now I know where I'm heading (or at least get the gist of it) plus, there are a few essential areas that I need to improve also.

 I really enjoyed my working experience [thank you uollss] and it is a far cry from what I have been exposed to before - yela, jadi kuli kedai makan; blue collar worker memang la lain dari keje white collar nih....

So, all in all, entry ni dibuat sedangkan internship report masih lagi di pertengahan jalan! *tsk* *tsk* 

Beginning with this new sem, Insya Allah kita tong sampahkan sikap suka "procrastinate" ye? Hehehe. 

Itu je setakat ni. Keep fabeles uollss~! 

P/s: I made headline once before the internship period ended. Alhamdulillah :)

Bila Hilangnya Melayu, Digantikanlah dengan Meleis.

Assalamualaikum n Greetings, 

First of all, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Mood raya tu masih ade lagi ye kawan-kawan ^^

Acane duit raya ade dapat banyak tak? Untuk aku bila dah masuk U ni tak la dapat banyak sangat, cuma yang dimasukkan dlm sampul tu lebih sikit la. Hehehe...jadi 'hasil mahsul' Raya ni Alhamdulillah boleh la buat simpan sikit-sikit untuk masa depan kan. ;)

Right. Ikutkan hati tak nak mulakan this entry on a negative note, but nak buat camne, dah tentu aku menulis ni dengan ketidakgumbiraan.

Kecewa kerana segelintir perkara, yang tak kecil tapi boleh dikatakan boleh la tahan magnitudnye.

-This post is a response following a recent bickering regarding this topic in facebook- 

Bermula dari isu bagi salam dalam entry lepas (isu lama!), nak selit2 sikit hapdetnye. Hari tu lepas kerja, masa balik tu......terasa haus pulak. Haus gile dok telan air liur je spnjang perjalanan.  Jadi, singgah la sat kat masjid USM solat asar sekali. Dahh...kedai Arab seblah masjid bukak, singgah ler beli air minum to quench my thirst.

Dah habis beli I gave salam to the Arab dude. I had a preconception which I know, it's my fault to have one. Tak sangka pulak dia jawab *terharu*, because as I had stated in my earlier post, some of these Meleis pun ade preconception jugak, yang kalo Melayu = Islam dan kalo Cina = bukan Islam. But for this Arab dude, he's different; "waalaikumussalam" :)

*Ok, maybe I should call my mishaps after this as "Plight of a Bloke Who Happens to Look Like a Chinese" LOL!!*

Tu benda satu hal...ade lagi satu, pantang sungguhlah kalau bercakap atau share kat facebook perkara tentang Islam, berkaitan hukum hakam or nasihat orang-orang berilmu nak kalau boleh sesetengah daripada kita sume lah nak bangkang. Nak jugak cari 'loophole' dlm benda yg dihujahkan tu.

Ya, Islam meraikan perbezaan pendapat, tapi ada limit jugak nak beza pendapat pun.

Sedangkan bila orang share music video (MV) yg dlmnye dh sah ade women dancing in skimpy / revealing clothes tak pulak nak cakap pape, tak pula nak dipertikai "eh kau share mende maksiat ni pehal der? tak takut dosa?" TAPI,  bila bicara tentang Islam nak dipertikai.....apa yg kita nak berpegang dengan sebenarnya ni?

P/s: share benda baik / xbaik kita pun dapat sahamnya jugak tau.... berjela-jela lagi kalo bertambah2 org yg further share / view. Jadi jom la share mende2 baik je ye? Tak susah pun. :)

Kalau nasihat orang ada ilmu dalam agama pun nak ditolak, then sapa lagi kita nak ikut...

Sebab, lepas Nabi > Para Sahabat > Khalifah > Golongan Fuqaha aka Alim Ulamak yang perlu diikuti. Yang tinggal pada akhir zaman ni pun yang last tu. Kalo yang last tu pun tak nak diikut, nak dipertikai, sapa lagi nk diikuti?

Sebab bila kita dibangkitkan semula nanti, kita akan dibangkitkan dengan idola (ikutan) kita nanti time kat dunia nih.  Of kos lah sume orang nak dibangkitkan dengan mendapat syafaat, ye dok?....Apa, nak ke kita dibangkitkan sebelah Lady Gaga, tak pun Nicki Minaj? Na'uzubillah!

'Umar Al-Khattab pernah berkata:

Sesungguhnya kita dahulunya merupakan satu golongan yang paling hina lalu

dimuliakan oleh Allah dengan Islam. Apabila kita mencari kemuliaan

dengan selain Islam, kita akan dihina oleh Allah. 

(Disahihkan oleh Al-Hakim dalam Al Mustadrak, dipersetujui Az Zhahabiyy dan disahihkan

juga oleh Al Albaaniyy)

Bangsa tu (dengan izin Allah) dimuliakan dengan Islam. Mulianya Melayu dulu-dulu pun sebab Islam. Tapi bila Melayu tu sendiri meninggalkan Islam dan menjadi Meleis, tengok la apa dah jadi.

Nah, nak salahkan sapa kalau bukan diri sendiri? Dicabutnya keIslaman dalam individu Melayu tu dicampaknya kat bangsa lain yang memang dok tgh cari agama, cari kebenaran. Multiply that to 100,000 or maybe more. Tak ke jadi masalah macam tu?

Kalau orang tu dah tak nak hidayah, dicabutnya hidayah daripada dia then dicampakkan kat orang lain. Jadi, kita yang dah lahir Islam ni jom la reramai bersyukur dengan nikmat iman, nikmat Islam. Tunjukkan kat semua orang kita la umat yang terbaik (Kuntum Khaira Ummatin... Ali Imran, verse 110) baru la orang tertarik nak mendekati, mendalami Islam.

For me, gurau pape pun takpe tapi kalau dah masuk bab agama pun nak dibuat main, nak dipertikai,  memang takde toleransi dah.

Aku ni bukanlah baik sangat macam brader2 dalam novel "cinta Islamik" korang tu pun (yes girls, I do know how those guys' characteristics are like! :P) tapi at least sedang cuba berusaha untuk jadi khalifah kalau tak untuk ummah pun (besar tu), at least jadi imam untuk isteri n anak2 aku pun nanti pun dah kira cukuplah #eh.

Jadi, bila kata-kata ustaz dan alim ulamak pun kita nak tolak,
Kebatilan nak ditegakkan sementara yang hak pula cuba dihapuskan,
Sapa lagi kita nak ikut? Fikir-fikirkanlah.

Nota kaki :


1. This is a definition of a Malay and a Meleis for me:
    Malay : mengekalkan budaya Melayu, sopan santun, berpegang kuat pada Islam.
    Meleis: stripped off of their so-called 'Kemelayuan', narrow minded (read: shallow).

2. A few things that I've mentioned would touch upon 'tasawwuf' knowledge which I'm not going to    dwell further, since I'm still learning it. Belum cukup ilmu lagi nak terangkan kat orang.

3. Kalau ade pape yg salah esp dlm bab yg sentuh psl tasawuf tu tlg tegur.

4. Segala teguran, pandangan ditujukan kat diri sendiri jugak, hamba yang hina ni.

5. In fact, mana2 Arab yang aku pernah bagi salam dulu pun dijawab dengan sempurna, bukan sebab dia nmpak aku pi masjid je. Tapi sayangnya Meleis2 don't share the same view.

6. Setiap entry yang jejak kaki nye dalam blog ni contentnye aku dah search thoroughly from reliable sources to make it foolproof. If there's any mistake jgak, jgn disimpan. Mohon di bagi tau hokayh ~
