The End of August.

Finally... This month end at last!

BUT not for everything.

I guess?

Huh! What a month?!

This month could be an exciting story of my own as there is not much to talk about BUT real hurt deep inside!

However... I learned A LOT about LIFE!

The story of my life was always great as usual but this month was quite challenging as I had to make a right decision about something I never imagined before. Losing something we have is not difficult! Only a few Words people can change! Because of small misunderstanding, FRIENDS can turns to FOE. Huh! I really don't know what to do that moment and a little bit depressed. I just prayed to Allah to show me the right way and asked him for his guidance. And then... I've Got the solution! Thanks to Cikgu Madzalan who was there for me to cheer me up. I knew then that all I have to do was try to clear the air but sometimes people were too proud to say that they were wrong too. So, I took it easily and be positive. Well, Life is About Making a Right Decision! At Last, I realized how satisfying it was when we learned to FORGIVE and FORGET. What an experience! I am grateful to be a part of this 'drama'. Hmm~ Now, I'm learning to control my emotion and look things at the bright side.

A few things had taught me well emotionally. I suddenly remember of the book I've read, "Little Women". Its said that.. "When you feel unhappy, count your blessings and be grateful for there are always those in the world with less". People viewed this life in different perspective. My Life then goes on as usual again.

It reminds me of PMR. 30 more days left. So, please pray for our (my friends and I) success. I also changed my blog's link and make some improvement in my blog this month. I hope it looks better now.

That's all for this month. So many challenges to face and people to deal with... No wonder I have posted 28 posts this month! hehehe.

See you again @ika.

Merdekakah Kita?

Lima dekad yang lalu
menyusun sintaksis demi satu anugerah
bukan tempik, tapi tuntut
bersandar pada maruah bangsa
berpaksi pada kecintaan tanah tumpah
merdeka kita dambakan.

Lima dekad merangkak pergi
para pimpinan datang dan pergi
menitis jasa, mengalirkan bakti
nikmat mega kita kecapi
cahaya kemajuan terus dicari
moga terpancar ke segenap negeri.

Lima dekad berlalu pergi
tunas harapan masih tercari-cari
terus leka dan terpinga-pinga tidak mengerti
merakus nikmat yang bukan abadi
membina kealpaan tanpa disedari
mencalar dan memamah jati diri.

Salahkan kita merdeka?
Merdekakah kita?

Merdekakah Kita? Suatu persoalan yang cukup menggambarkan keadaan masyarakat Malaysia kini. Adakah kita benar-benar merdeka? Merdeka KINI hanya suatu laungan yang tidak dilahirkan dari hati tetapi hanya dilafazkan dengan lidah. Kita tidak merdeka selagi jiwa kita tidak merdeka.

Baru sahaja beberapa minit yang lepas, Aika menonton Buletin Utama di saluran TV3 yang memaparkan sambutan kemerdekaan di Dataran Merdeka yang penuh gilang gemilang. Tidak kurang hebatnya juga sambutan di negeri-negeri lain seperti Pulau Pinang, Kedah, Kelantan, dan Perak.

Namun demikian, sejurus selepas paparan berita tersebut, rakyat Malaysia dipaparkan dengan refleksi mentaliti kelas ke-3. Sikap kebanyakan rakyat Malaysia cukup jelas membuktikan dakwaan Perdana Menteri bahwa rakyat Malysia hanya menikmati infrastruktur kelas pertama tetapi masih mempunyai mentaliti kelas ketiga adalah tidak dapat disangkal sama sekali. Buktinya, sampah sarap yang berlonggok-longgok dibuang di merata-rata tempat selepas sambutan ambang kemerdekaan malam kelmarin bertempat di Dataran Merdeka. Begitu juga Jalur Gemilang yang begitu gah dikibarkan ketika melaungkan merdeka, dibiarkan begitu sahaja menyembah tanah. Apa yang menghairankannya, orang ramai hanya lalu-lalang sahaja tanpa menghiraukan Jalur Gemilang tersebut. Aika bersetuju dengan kata-kata pemberita TV3 sebentar tadi bahawa "kita marah apabila melihat Jalur Gemilang dibakar, tetapi rakyat sendiri memijak-mijak Jalur Gemilang tersebut." Bak kata pepatah 'kuman di seberang laut nampak, gajah di depan mata tak nampak'.

Nampaknya usaha kerjaan Malaysia bagi melahirkan modal insan yang cemerlang, gemilang, dan terbilang masih mendapat sambutan yang hambar. Generasi muda kini alpa dan leka. Sedarlah dan Insaflah bahawa kemerdekaan yang dikecapi hari ini adalah titik peluh pejuang bangsa yang telah separuh nyawa berjuang mendapatkan kemerdekaan. Kita kini terlalu HIPOKRIT! Tepuk dahi tanyalah minda...

ADAKAH KITA BENAR-BENAR MERDEKA?

Bangkitlah wahai anak bangsaku.. Perjuangan ini masih belum selesai!

50 Tahun...MALAYSIAKU GEMILANG.

Alhamdulillah, kini genaplah 50 Tahun Malaysia merdeka...

Pesan Aika:
Kita ialah GENERASI PASCA MERDEKA. Kita tidak pernah mengalami erti sebuah keperitan dan kepayahan pejuang-pejuang anak bangsa dalam memperjuangkan kebebasan negara. Kita tidak berjuang bersama mereka dan berada di situ. Namun semua ini tidak bererti kita perlu lupa akan siapa diri kita sebenarnya. Ingatlah...Perjuangan kita belum selesai sebagai modal insan, penggerak wawasan negara cemerlang, gemilang, dan terbilang.

Detik ini, Setelah 50.

Sesekali membelek peribadi diri
mencari qudwah hasanah yang tak terjangkau
melihat kebobrokan yang menguasai
kilau barat rebahkan murni timur
tewaskan semaian, racunkan baja peribadi
agungkan budaya kuning
remehkan warisan nenda
sesekali merenung kebebasan
50 tahun cukup untuk mengajar
parut derita masih tersisa
perjuangan yang semakin dilupakan
namun, hedonisme mula menjalar
hiburan tanpa batas
kerana kita yang agungkan mereka.

~Sapiah Derahman

Refleksi Kemerdekaan...

Erti Kemerdekaan

Dan jatuhnya hanya beberapa hari
lalu terbelenggu 400 tahun
suatu tempoh yang amat payah dan panjang
pengabdian dan kehilangan yakin diri
50 tahun kita berdiri menebus maruah
merdeka mentafsir diri sendiri dan bangga pada apa yang ada
masih mahukah harga itu diperjudikan?

Kita tidak akan mempertaruhkan nasib itu
di tangan kita masih panas
keringat, tulang belulang dan tenaga fikir
menghayun langkah membina wawasan
waspada harimau di matahari terbenam
tidak akan hilang belangnya
mengisytiharkan dirinya yam tuan tunggal sejagat
yang lemah longlai
yang gagah gergasi
akan meruntuhkan segala sempadan rimba
atas nama membina perkampungan dunia
mahukah kita biarkan
mereka menginjak-injak dan menghancurkan taman kecil permai ini?
Rimba tanpa sempadan
atas nama “kebaikan” menyelinap menusuk matafikir
hidupan dunia ketiga terpaku takjub dengan slogan
‘kasih alam,ketelusan hukum,keadilan timbangan
kesatuan warga dunia,kebebasan mutlak’
lalu beraraklah anak-anak bumi ini meraikan kesatuan alam
dengan sorak sorai
‘runtuhkan sempadan! runtuhkan sempadan!
runtuhkan korupsi! runtuhkan kolisi’
dan di belakang mereka tidak melihat
bayang-bayang belenggu halimunan
yang lebih ganas daripada segala yang ganas
kita pun akan kehilangan harga dan erti diri
mengapa diundang mereka
dan mereka tiba-tiba berada di depan pintu rumah kita?
Kita telah bangun dengan segala kepayahan
membuka belantara dan mempertahankan warisan
kita tafsir merdeka mengikut acuan sendiri
merdeka kita dengan fikiran
dan kita pertahankannya dengan fikiran
dunia sudah melihat kita
dunia sudah menghormati kita
Timur dan Selatan mengharapkan kita
mereka datang berbondong-bondong mencari bumi ini
perlindungan dan erti hidup
mengapa kita sendiri masih belum mahu melihat
dengan tangan masih terbelenggu ke belakang
dan hanya sesekali menjulangnya
mengikut rentak genderang dunia matahari terbenam?
Bijak pandai pernah berpesan
‘mereka yang tidak belajar dari sejarah mereka didera
dengan mengulangi kesalahan-kesalahan mereka berkali-kali’
sejarah mengajar kita betapa kukuh sesuatu bangsa
akan tetap kecundang bila ditikam dari belakang
mengapa kita mula halalkan sejarah hitam berulang?
Nasib kita genggam
dengan tangan sendiri dan segala kudrat kurniaan
kita jalin kekuatan sulaman kasih bangsa
kita didihkan dia dengan tradisi semangat juang
maruah bangsa kita julang ke mercu alam
kita bangunkan suatu tamadun cinta damai
di sini kita ajar anak-anak kita erti sayang
di sini kita tawarkan dunia menaja kemanusiaan
dan bukan alat peperangan
dunia belajar erti merdeka sejati
mempelajari dan menerima segala perbezaan
merdeka menafsir hidup tanpa paksaan kuasa
Di sini kita yakin segalanya boleh
Di sini kita yakin segalanya boleh
Itulah erti kemerdekaan

Perjuangan ini mesti diteruskan.

~Dr. Mahathir Mohammad

Jangan Biar Hasad Dengki, Tamak Jajah Minda Rakyat.

HARI ini genaplah 50 tahun Malaysia mencapai kemerdekaan dan kita bersyukur kerana sekali lagi rakyat pelbagai kaum di negara ini dapat menyambut tarikh keramat 31 Ogos dalam suasana aman, makmur dan gemilang. Berkat permuafakatan dan kebijaksanaan pemimpin serta kegigihan dan sikap tolak ansur rakyat, membolehkan kita mengecapi kejayaan dan pencapaian yang boleh dibanggakan dalam setengah abad ini.

Adakah kita sebagai individu sudah benar-benar merdeka daripada belengu pemikiran, sikap dan tindak tanduk yang pernah menyebabkan tanah air ini dijajah 500 tahun dahulu?

Melaka sebelum dijajah Portugis merupakan sebuah empayar disegani sebagai pusat perdagangan dunia. Walau bagaimanapun disebabkan perasaan hasad dengki, tamak, fitnah dan amalan buruk pemimpin dan rakyatnya, Kesultanan Melayu Melaka bukan sahaja terus terkubur, malah anak cucunya menjadi bangsa jajahan selama lima abad. Justeru, dalam merayakan pencapaian negara selama ini, kita harus mengimbau sejarah dan mengambil ikhtibar agar tidak mengulangi kesilapan serta terus melangkah megah 50 tahun akan datang. Harga sebuah kemerdekaan bagi generasi sebelum merdeka, terutama pejuang kebebasan negara berbeza dengan generasi selepas merdeka.

Penghayatan kemerdekaan dua generasi berbeza ini, dikhuatiri semakin menipis. Hakikat bahawa sebahagian besar sambutan ulang tahun yang digerakkan oleh kerajaan cukup menggambarkan keadaan ini. Penyertaan swasta yang semakin ketara turut mrnjadi persoalan. Adakah hal ini didorong atas dasar kepentingan perniagaan atau sukarela? Begitu juga pengibaran Jalur Gemilang sebagai langkah paling asas untuk menunjukkan semangat patriotik. Di kawasan menengah dan mewah pula iaitu golongan yang paling beruntung hasil kemerdekaan negara, sepi dengan kibaran bendera dan keceriaan sambutan.

Namun begitu, kita tidak boleh menyalahkan generasi selepas merdeka sekiranya mereka tidak menghayati erti perjuangan sebenar dan erti keperitan hidup sewaktu Tanah Melayu berada dalam zaman penjajahan. Generasi kini ialah produk zaman moden yang lengkap dengan kemudahan sehingga ada yang menganggap kemerdekaan hanya satu simbolik perayaan untuk mengingati suatu detik sejarah. Justeru pendedahan mengenai sejarah negara seharusnya bermula dari peringkat akar umbi lagi. Subjek Sejarah perlu diberi keutamaan seperti subjek Sains, Matematik dan Bahasa Inggeris. Jika penguasaan dalam bidang sains, matematik dan bahasa Inggeris dapat melahirkan generasi yang mampu bersaing pada peringkat global, pemahaman mengenai sejarah tanah air akan memberikan mereka jati diri dan semangat patriotik yang kental tanpa mengira keturunan. Kita percaya modal insan mampu mempertahankan kemerdekaan negara selamanya. Dirgahayu Malaysia Gemilang.

Ambang Merdeka

BERITA HARIAN
5O Tahun dan Terus Maju
Oleh: Azman Zakaria, Abdul Halim Yusoff dan Mohd Azis Nga

KUALA LUMPUR: Laungan keramat ‘merdeka’ bergema di seluruh negara tepat jam 12 malam tadi, menggambarkan semangat membara rakyat pelbagai kaum dan agama meraikan detik bersejarah Hari Kebangsaan ke-50.

Di Dataran Merdeka, Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi mengetuai lebih 200,000 rakyat melaungkan ‘merdeka’ sebanyak tujuh kali sebaik Jalur Gemilang dikibarkan.

Sambutan Ambang Merdeka itu turut dihadiri isteri Perdana Menteri, Datin Seri Jeanne Abdullah; Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Razak; Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Induk Sambutan Kemerdekaan Negara ke-50, Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim; Presiden MCA, Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting; Presiden MIC, Datuk Seri S Samy Vellu serta pemimpin parti komponen Barisan Nasional (BN) lain.

Ribuan rakyat yang membanjiri Dataran Merdeka seawal jam 6.30 petang, sebelum itu disajikan pertunjukan pencahayaan visual grafik pelbagai corak dan tema diiringi lagu patriotik selama dua jam mulai 8.30 malam.

Pada jam 10.30 malam pula, segmen menjelang kemerdekaan bermula dengan persembahan video rentetan rombongan Almarhum Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj ke London sehingga perisytiharan kemerdekaan di Melaka. Ketika video dimainkan, semua bangunan di sekeliling Dataran Merdeka bermandikan cahaya berwarna warni.

Dalam ucapan penuh bersemangat yang disiarkan secara langsung menerusi televisyen, Perdana Menteri mahu GENERASI MUDA terus mempertahankan kemerdekaan dan menangkis sebarang ancaman yang mahu menggugat perpaduan rakyat.

“Seluruh rakyat mesti menjaga keharmonian dengan sentiasa mengamalkan semangat muhibah bagi menangkis sebarang ancaman yang mahu menggugat perpaduan,” katanya.

Perdana Menteri berkata, dengan semangat perpaduan yang kukuh serta berbekalkan modal insan yang berilmu dan berkemahiran saja membolehkan negara menghadapi pelbagai cabaran pada masa depan.

“Ini persediaan untuk bawa bangsa ke masa depan yang lebih gemilang... kita mahu setiap rakyat selamat daripada apa-apa kebimbangan, tak takut dan tak bimbang dipencilkan.

“Di bawah kerajaan BN, kita mahu sentiasa memastikan negara ini aman dan selamat untuk semua,” katanya sambil menjelaskan kini menjadi tanggungjawab rakyat untuk mengisi kemerdekaan supaya kemerdekaan itu benar-benar bermakna untuk bangsa dan negara.

Pada masa sama, Abdullah memberi jaminan kerajaan akan terus berpegang teguh kepada konsep keadilan dan kesaksamaan serta memastikan kesejahteraan dan kemakmuran dinikmati semua rakyat.

Beliau berkata, kerajaan sejak dulu lagi mengamalkan konsep perkongsian kuasa yang mementingkan pendekatan musyawarah dan pemuafakatan dalam perjuangan.

Malah, katanya, kemerdekaan negara diperjuangkan secara bersama oleh semua warga pelbagai kaum dan kejayaan Malaysia selama ini juga terbina atas usaha bersama berteraskan semangat perpaduan, persaudaraan dan muhibah.

Beliau berharap budaya dan pendekatan itu dijiwai generasi muda sekarang termasuk dalam menangani sebarang isu yang boleh membawa kesusahan, kekeliruan atau ketegangan sesama rakyat.

Perdana Menteri berkata, rakyat mesti sentiasa bersatu dan berusaha untuk satu masa depan yang dikongsi bersama.

Abdullah juga mengajak rakyat bersyukur kerana memiliki barisan pemimpin yang berwawasan jauh dan ikhlas membangunkan negara bermula dengan Almarhum Tunku Abdul Rahman dan diikuti Allahyarham Tun Abdul Razak.

Kedua-dua pemimpin terawal negara itu mendapat sokongan penuh oleh tokoh, seperti Allahyarham Tun Dr Ismail, mendiang Tun Tan Cheng Lock dan Tun V T Sambanthan, manakala pembangunan negara pula diteruskan di bawah pimpinan Allahyarham Tun Hussein Onn dan ditingkatkan di bawah pimpinan Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

Terdahulu, Abdullah yang tiba di Dataran Merdeka pada jam 11.45 malam, diberi sambutan dalam suasana menyamai ketibaan Tunku 50 tahun lalu di tempat sama, yang dulunya dikenali Padang Kelab Selangor.

Perdana Menteri diiringi 300 Ahli Perikatan Bermotosikal mewakili anggota Umno, MCA dan MIC yang berpakaian serba putih serta tujuh Polis Pengiring.

Suasana bertambah meriah apabila lampu sorot difokuskan ke arah kereta yang dinaiki Perdana Menteri dan pada masa sama pancaran laser bergerak mengikut irama lagu.

Suasana bertukar senyap seketika apabila ribuan yang hadir bertumpu kepada menara jam di Bangunan Sultan Abdul Samad selepas lampu di seluruh dataran itu dipadamkan, diikuti kiraan detik menjelang 12 malam.

Sebaik menara jam mengalunkan detik 12 malam, lampu dipasang semula dan secara simbolik bendera Union Jack diturunkan.

Pemuda BN diketuai Naib Ketua Pemuda Umno, Khairy Jamaluddin, kemudian menaikkan Jalur Gemilang dan serentak itu lagu Negaraku berkumandang, diikuti laungan ‘merdeka’ sebanyak tujuh kali oleh Perdana Menteri dengan disambut teriakan penuh bersemangat seluruh hadirin.

Peristiwa itu dizahirkan dengan doa oleh Ahli Exco Pemuda Umno, Datuk Pirdaus Ismail bagi memohon keberkatan dan rahmat Allah supaya kemerdekaan terus dinikmati rakyat selama-lamanya.

Sambutan Ambang Merdeka berakhir penuh semangat apabila semua hadirin menyanyikan rangkaian lagu patriotik, antaranya Malaysia Berjaya, Malaysia Merdeka, Tanggal 31 dan Malaysiaku Gemilang, disusuli persembahan bunga api dan laser penuh warna-warni.

Suatu HAKIKAT yang PASTI....

"Perjalanan insan adalah suatu hakikat yang pasti
Pabila langkah ini terhenti penghujung kehidupan menanti di sana..
Suatu HAKIKAT perpisahan yang terakhir..."

Pada saat ini kita tertawa ceria, bergurau senda, berkongsi suka dan duka...

Tiba-tiba semuanya berubah dalam sekelip mata. Insan yang pernah duduk di sisi kita, ketawa dan menangis bersama tidak lagi berada ada di sisi. Pergi buat selama-lamanya menghadap seruan ILAHI. Tika berdepan dengan suatu HAKIKAT yang pasti...

"Kami jadikan di muka bumi (gunung-gunung) yang tegak kukuh supaya tidak bergerak bersama mereka dan kami adakan jalan-jalan yang luas di atasnya mudah-mudahan mereka mendapat petunjuk"
Surah Al-Anbiya';31

HAKIKAT ini suatu yang pasti. Setiap insan bakal melaluinya. Bila? Di Mana? Bagaimana? semuanya telah ditentukan sejak azali lagi. Mungkin sebentar sahaja lagi, mungkin esok, mungkin kelak... HAKIKAT ini bakal dilalui setiap insan yang berjalan di atas muka bumi ini.

"Setiap yang hidup pasti menemui kematian"
Ali Imran; 185

Bersyukurlah dengan nikmat Allah S.W.T. Hargailah insan di sekeliling anda. Hari ini kita mungkin bersama...ESOK? tiada siapa yang tahu...!

Setiap insan pasti merasa
Saat perpisahan terakhir
Dunia yang fana akan ditinggalkan
Hanya amalan yang dibawa

Terdengar sayup surah dibaca
Sayunya alunan suara
Cemas di dada...lemah tak bermaya
Terbuka hijab di depan mata

Selamat tinggal pada semua
Berpisahlah kita selamanya
Kita tak sama nasib di sana
Baikkah atau sebaliknya

Amalan dan takwa jadi bekalan
Sejahtera bahagia pulang...ke sana

Sekujur badan berselimut putih
Rebah bersemadi sendiri
Mengharap kasih anak dan isteri
Apa mungkin pahala dikirim

Terbaring sempit seluas pusara
Soal-bicara terus bermula
Sesal dan insaf tak berguna lagi
Hancurlah jasad dimamah bumi

Berpisah sudah segalanya
Yang tinggal hanyalah kenangan
Diiring doa dan air mata
Yang pergi takkan kembali lagi

Salam takziah buat Cikgu Suharyati sekeluarga. Kepada Noriya Hartuti, sahabatku...tabahkan hatimu menempuh hari-hari mendatang. Setiap yang berlaku pasti ada hikmahnya. Ingatlah 3 perkara yang tidak akan putus-putus terhadap si mati ialah doa anak yang soleh dan solehah, harta yang diwakafkan, dan ilmu yang disampaikan. Bersabarlah wahai sahabat. Kami, sahabat-sahabatmu dari Tingkatan 3 Emerald mendoakan semoga roh bapamu dicucuri rahmat dan moga-moga ditempatkan bersama para syuhada. Insya-Allah.

Pesan daripada sahabat mu ini, solat 5 waktu jangan sekali-kali ditinggalkan dan banyakkanlah membaca kalimah suci Al-Qura'n. Jagalah dirimu selalu dan saya sentiasa mendoakan kejayaan awak. Marilah kita sama-sama melangkah menuju kejayaan dan kebahagiaan duniawi dan ukhrawi. Amin...

I had a NICE day

Yesterday (23rd August 2007, which was a few minutes ago..), I went to KHB class with Nurul. Her father sent us to school. So, after class her father took us out to BDC. We went for a drive around Tabuan. He brought me to Taman Sahabat. It was the first time I went there. I didn't even know there is such place in Kuching before. I was so amazed with the landscape of the recreation park. It's more to Chinese culture style. The entrance looks like a Chinese temple and there was a bridge build with a Chinese design crossing the lake. There was also a replica of a ship with its sailor in the lake. According to Nurul, this recreation park was built to remember Malaysia-China Diplomatic Relationship long long ago. Oh! No to forgot, there was a wishing well too and the park was surrounded with bamboo plants. For once, I thought I was in China that moment. I was kind of excited and everything was so amazing! I really wished I had a camera with me that moment!

Then, we went to POPULAR Bookstore. Nurul bought some exercise books. I read something interesting in the bookshop which I would like to share with you... "History will love us, if we tend to write"
Meaning that...people will always remember us as long as we wrote something that anyone else could remember or maybe by ourself like a journal for example. The only thing appeared in my mind that time was...My BLOG! hehehe. Well, it's journey of my life! That's why I'm writing this right now.

So, back to the story...

After we picked up Nurul's mother, Uncle Sufyan took me home. BUT this was not the end of the day! That evening, Nurul sent me a short message. He asked me if I wanted to go to another KHB class this night? My answer is...YES of course! How could I missed one?! It was a wonderful lesson ever! hehehe! Cikgu Nizam was never serious most of the time. That's made him really special. He such a spontaneous person and could be a real good joker too! hahaha! Ummi got a new name which is..."Ummi Gamat". hahaha! I guess I don't have to tell you the reason why...hehehe! So, asked anyone who knew this story! hahaha! It's really funny!

So, the class end at 9.30 p.m. Nurul's parents were already there waiting for us. Guess what?! It was not a straight journey to home... They took me to a restaurant! Nurul's parents were so nice to me... Sometimes I wondered if I have put such a burden on them? So, I asked Uncle Sufyan. He told me nothing to worry about. Everything was fine with them. Before that, I called mama to tell her where I am going to and she gave me her permission.

Uncle Sufyan took us to a restaurant near their second house. I ordered Mee Kolok and Ice Tea. I really enjoy the meal..huh! I was fulled! hehehe! Then, they took me home again. Before I went out of the car, I said thank you to them for a such beautiful day! Thank You so much...

They had brought me to the place I never went and took me out in this school holiday.
(actually, I didn't go anywhere this holiday! hehehe!)

A GREAT Story!

You should read it! You might gain something from it...Trust me!

A lady was waiting for her flight in a boarding room of a big airport. As she would need to wait for many hours she decide to buy a book to spend her time. She also bought a packet of cookies. She sat down in an armchair in the VIP room of the airport to rest and read in peace. Beside the armchair where the packet of cookies lay, a man sat down in the next seat opened his magazine and started reading.

When she took out the first cookies, the man took out one also. She felt irritated but said nothing. She just thought,

"What a nerve! It was the mood I will punch him for daring!"

For each cookie she took, the man took on too. This was infuriating her but she don't want to cause a scene. When only one cookie remained, she thought,

"ah... what this abusive man will do now?"

Then the man took the last cookie, divided it into half, giving her one half.

"Ah this was too much!"

She was much too angry now. In a huff she took her book, her things, and stormed to the boarding place.

When she sat down in her seat, inside the plane, she looked into her purse to take her eye glasses and to her surprise, her PACKET OF COOKIES was there, UNTOUCHED, UNOPENED! She felt so ashamed! She realized that she was wrong. She had forgotten that her cookies was kept in her purse.

The man had divided his cookies with her, without feeling anger or bitter...while she had been very angry that she was dividing his cookies with him. And now, there is no time to explain himself...nor to apologies.

There is 4 things you can't recover.

• The stone... after throw!
• The word... after it's said!
• The occasion... after the loss!
• The time... after it's gone!

There is no use to regret for our action in the past. Live for the future and try not to repeat the same mistake over and over again. One more thing, control your emotion in every situation. Once you are in control...everything will be just fine.

Thank You!

This song is dedicated to all my friends or who used to be one! Thank You!

"Thank you for giving the best day of my life..."



My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
the morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey but your picture on my wall
it reminds me that it's not so bad
it's not so bad

I drank too much last night, got bills to pay
my head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today
I'm late for work again
and even if I'm there, they'll all imply
that I might not last the day
and then you call me and it's not so bad
it's not so bad and

I want to thank you
for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you
is having the best day of my life

Push the door, I'm home at last and
I'm soaking through and through
then you handed me a towel and all I see is you
and even if my house falls down now,
I wouldn't have a clue
because you're near me and

I want to thank you
for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you
is having the best day of my life

Thank You, friends! Let's live this world with positive thoughts and faith in our heart. Forgive and Forget is the most important thing in FRIENDSHIP. Thank you for giving me the BEST day of my life..! My life will be empty without you... You had touch my life with beautiful colours and thoughts. Thank You!

Welcome HOLIDAY!

Finally at last, exam just finished this Friday! What a relief..

BUT this holiday will not going to be like the previous holiday... Huhu! I have to struggle a lot.

PMR is just around the corner. I cannot help to be so worried about it. I know I must score straight A's to maintain my academic performance.

I think, I did not do well in this examination because of lack of preparation and concentration. I lose my focus because of a few things that bothered my mind. Seriously, I can't help to think about it. I know how silly I was to act like that but that's the truth.

I just received a message from my friend, Hetty. She asked me if I already revise about fathul makkah. Somehow this message makes me worried and back to real life. A student life which I have forgotten for the whole day. I haven't revise yet. I said to Acik just now, tomorrow I'll start studying and do my revision...TOMORROW...TOMORROW...TOMORROW! Huh! I started to think of wisdom words that I always read in my class as it is always stated there on the wall.

"If you always say tomorrow, What have you done TODAY?"

Let me answer that... Today, I'm sitting in front of my computer, updating my blog, chatting with my friends, watching television and laying on my bed. See?! I do nothing! I know I'm wasting my time..BUT..aaarrgghhh!!! Honestly I lose my focus! I don't know what to do.. God, please help me! I really need your help now...

***********************

[I felt like I want to scream but it won't come outloud]

***********************

Hmm..~ I already made my schedule for this holiday. It's compact. BUT, I don't know if I can really follow my schedule. I just have to tell myself... "I will! I will! I will!"

Let see..tomorrow? whether I can do it or not? We'll see...

**********************************************

Mama and Papa just left for Kuala Lumpur an hour ago. I called my sisters to say hi. It's been a long time we didn't talk and met each other. Besides my handphone always out of credit so everytime they send me messages, I didn't reply. I missed them a lot! I hope they are in the best of health.

I think that's all for now! tata!

ex-kolejian: Graduan UTM penerima phD termuda.

BERITA HARIAN-16/082006

KUALA LUMPUR: Dalam tempoh seminggu, rekod Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) melahirkan penerima Ijazah Doktor Falsafah (PhD) termuda negara, akan dipecahkan apabila Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) mengadakan Majlis Konvokesyen ke-39 di Johor Bahru, esok.

Life is about making a RIGHT decission.

Cikgu Madzalan is just like a father to me. He could be a GREAT therapist too. Today I learnt something from him.

"Life is about making a right decission.

Decide to be IN CONTROL of everything.

Once we are in control,

We can decide what's good for us...!

Don't dwell upon thing that is not bringing good to us!"

******************************

Do you agree? Well.. LIFE must goes on!

Perspective of LIFE...

Life is a journey.
We keep walking on until we reach our destiny.
Every steps you take full of challenges waiting ahead.

Sometimes it will be good or bad!
Sometimes you feel it is hard to keep moving.
Sometimes you feel that you want to stop.
You fall down and felt it's difficult to stand up again.
BUT!
You know you have to because your journey will NOT end until..
you REACH your destiny!
And that will be...

"THE END OF YOUR LIFE"

My LIFE is not easy as I thought!
When I'm HAPPY everything seems to be GREAT!
I felt like I want to tell the whole world
HOW HAPPY I WAS!

My steps become faster and faster!
Keep moving on and on...!

Suddenly!

My steps become slower and slower...
This is always happen when I'm facing with problems.
I'm not the kind of person who like to share my problems.
I rather choose to settle down on my own.
But it's hard, really hard..
I need SOMEONE to HELP me.

Be POSITIVE!
That is the key of all my problems!
I feel great and
I continue WALKING again..!

Life is not easy. As we get older, we will meet people from all walks of life. There will be a lot of things to deal with. But all of this sort of things...

Makes LIFE wonderful!

Life without problems is empty. Life without laughter means nothing.
We MUST feel GRATEFUL of our life.
It taught us the meaning of everything. Family, Friendship, Love...

One thing I've learnt.

NOT all people will accept us the way we are.
Sometimes we feel horrid about it but this is LIFE!
We can't change their mind. It's up to them to judge us. We just need to be ourselves and keep moving on. We are the ONE who knows OURSELF better than OTHERS! Trust your heart and everything will be fine and don't forget to be..

POSITIVE!

Satisfaction! Happy! Be POSITIVE!

Cikgu Madzalan was RIGHT!

I felt HAPPY with my decission!
It's a SATISFACTION!

I'm Positive!

Thank You so much!
Well, I think my life now is just like Timon and Pumba's motto:

HAKUNA MATATA!



Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!

Hakuna Matata!
Hakuna Matata?
Yeah. It's our motto!
What's a motto?
Nothing! What's-a-motto with you?!
Those two words will solve all your problems.
That's right.

Take Pumba here
Why...when he was a young warthog
When I was a young warthog
Very nice
Thanks.

He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the savanna after every meal
I'm a sensitive soul though I seem thick-skinned
And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind

And, oh, the shame
Oh, the shame!
Thought of changing' my name
What's in a name?
And I got downhearted
How did you feel?
Every time that I...
Hey, Pumba! Not in front of the kids!
Oh, sorry.

Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries for the rest of your days

It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
Hakuna Matata! Hakuna Matata!
Hakuna Matata! Hakuna Matata!
Hakuna Matata! Hakuna Matata!
Hakuna Matata! Hakuna --

It means no worries for the rest of your days

It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata! [repeat]

I say "Hakuna"
I say "Matata"

That's All for TODAY! Have a NICE, GREAT day! (^_^)

Alhamdulillah..Now, I've Got the SOLUTION!

So, I Have Decide! "Let it all START all over AGAIN"

Hmm..~ At first it hards for me to make this decission because I kept telling myself that I'm really hurt with his statement and I found it's hard to Forgive and Forget!

But now? Guess what?
Thanks to Allah S.W.T for your guidance! Alhamdulillah...
I think it's useless to think about this anymore...
After everything we've been through together and every moment we shared!
How could we forgot those things!
Huh! How silly I am!
Think of wonderful and positive thought and everything will be alright!
See?!

I'm GREAT!

Thanks to Cikgu Madzalan Zawawi for your advice! You are the BEST! I made a RIGHT choice tonight by telling you what's bothering my mind!

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

Let's recall back what he said... (^_^)

"Dalam hal ni jangan cari siapa salah..Recall the good moment you have together"

"We're only on this planet for a short time - why live it in anger, frustration, bitterness or dissatisfaction? What could you possibly gain from that?"

"Well, in order to attract the things that you want in life, you need to maintain positive thoughts. That's why you need find a way to control your thoughts, so you can stop thinking negatively and start thinking positively.."

"Guess what? You don't have to. That's where EMOTION comes into play. By controlling our emotions, we can positively or negatively affect our thoughts."

"Send the positive thinking before u go to sleep, n wake up with positive thoughts"

To make it clear...

"I'm sorry to my senior BROTHER... Muhammad Afiq Sahari! Let it all Start all Over again! Thank You so much! Can we?"

That's All...I feel much much better now!

(^_^)

My Pray...

I Don't know what I should do now...
I know I Don't want this to be happen..I really don't!
But that is what really happen now...

O Allah, here me please...
Give me strength...
Please tell me what should I do?
Give me your guidance to show me the correct path..
Help me please...

Amin.

COMING SOON: Majlis Rasmi Penutupan Bulan Alam Sekitar 2007, Majlis Solat Hajat and Family Day

"Only a few WORDS...People can CHANGE"

Do you AGREE with me?

There are so many both wonderful and worse things can happen with just a few WORDS come out from our MOUTH! It depends on how GOOD we are in CHOOSING words..

"I Love You"

Two hearts will become one!

"I Hate You"

A heart can turn to pieces. Or maybe more..?

"It's your fault"

Two friends don't talk to each other for a long time.

"You are the best thing I've ever had"

How happy the person will be!

WORDS..!
can change people..

FRIEND can turns to FOE..
Marriage can turns to Divorce..

Because of little MISUNDERSTANDING!
We CHANGE!
EVERYTHING CHANGE!

How could we after EVERYTHING we share together..?!
How could we after every MOMENT we've been through..?!
How could we after all we become FRIENDS..?!

Is it the end of the story?

"When SATAN mocks and friends turn to foe,
It feels like everything is out to make me lose control,
Cause it's a long...long journey
Till I find my way home..to you"
-Angela Zhang-

Sometimes we are too shame to say we are SORRY!
IT SEEMS TO BE THE HARDEST WORD TO SAY.
Maybe we were right but somehow maybe we were wrong too...
Nobody is PERFECT!

Ask yourself again...
DO YOU EVER WANT IT TO BE HAPPEN?
All we need is just try to...

FORGIVE AND FORGET.

Think twice before say something. Not EVERYONE can take everything we said!

Welcome to aika-infinity.blogspot.com!

Hi! This is my new address. But it will still be
"A Journey of My Life"

"Journey"
-Angela Zhang-

It's a long long journey
Till I know where I'm supposed to be
It's a long long journey
And I don't know if I can believe
When shadows fall and block my eyes
I am lost and know that I must hide
It's a long long journey
Till I find my way home to you

Many days I've spent
Drifting on through empty shores
Wondering what's my purpose
Wondering how to make me strong

I know I will falter I know I will cry
I know you'll be standing by my side
It's a long long journey
And I need to be close to you

Sometimes it feels no one understands
I don't even know why
I do the things I do
When pride builds me up till I can't see my soul
Will you break down these walls and pull me through?

Cause It's a long long journey
Till I feel that I am worth the price
You paid for me on Calvary
Beneath those stormy skies
When Satan mocks and friends turn to foes
It feels like everything is out to make me lose control
Cause It's a long long journey
Till I find my way home to you ... to you
