A Blackout~

Yesterday...
There was a blackout in this apartment of Seri Putra..and it so happened during the 9.15 pm..when people are doing their night activities. So~ Mior and me got frustrated as we are using our computers and suddenly, so-called "sentap jugaklah". Then we made ourselves to the verandah and start sharing stories..and hoped the power will be restored a.s.a.p.

But~~~
It didnt. So we got tired of waiting. Thats where the foods came in.. We did bought food from the "pasar malam" down there earlier..so we decided to eat it, "bertemankan lampu" flashlight from my rusty nokia phone..and so it became a flashlight dinner.How "kelam kabut" it was and we had food scattered (sorry Maru) be4 we cleaned it all..

Hmm~~~
Time passed by..and we made ur minds that the power will be back by tomorrow. Sleep was the best idea, and none of us preferred more than a good night's sleep after a tiring Saturday so-called stay-up (Ask Mior what he did), which I slept on the cool floor that made me sneezing the whole Sunday.

And~~~
At that time, both of us remember stories..of our ancestors..we talked about the gasoline-based lightings and lanterns that they used. Memories of the older generations whom survived without electricity..and yet just one day, no...its just one night and we were already complaining this and that.

Reminded me~~~
Of my father..that he used to study "bertemankan pelita minyak tanah" besides him. Really, the spirit of doing so,burns and ignites ny heart, that this man,now my father..had worked hard to help fulfilling my grandma's wish to be "berdikari" and be able to aid the family. Reminded me also all the things he had to do and sacrifice for the family. I was like.."terfikir", had I did anything that could make him feel better, and lessen the burden of the family? My time will come, insyaAllah...it will be my turn to return the favor..for my father. It was 1979 that electricity or so-called "karan" found its way to my village, its Kampung Padang Perak, A/Star, Kedah. It was really, a moment to remember (Aifa, I borrow ur famous phrase)

THE LESSONs I LEARNT THAT NIGHT WERE:

1. We should always be ready to accept anything that happens eventhough we had tried ur best..It might be our efforts, but what Allah determines will happen. Nothing precedes that.

2.That we always complain when we lost something..but less times we appreciate things around when the things are still available at that time. Think about others that might be in harsher condition than us.We'll be grateful.

3.My father, Muhamad Hasbullah..deserves to be valued here for his grim determination for bringing us up..we,ur sons and daughters all knew too well what had happened. Allah will grant u appropriately, and we will pray for u..now and always.

Reflection From My Own Mirror

I have a mirror, hanging on the old wall,
I have only been using it,
Since the past 2 years,

Before this, the mirror has always been there,
But i did not use it..

Why am I that stubborn?

The mirror, reflects me, showing me myself,

Of different faces in different times,

Of different angles of the same person,

Been showing me the past, present, but never the future,

Why,the mirror cannot show me my future?

The reflection way, always the same,
But the reflected person is not,

Being ashamed when my face wrinkled,
Being happy when mine shone,

But I do not know of what will my face be,
Each time facing the mirror,

Why, will a person ever be the same forever?

Seeing my own reflection,
Shown me of myself and made me wonder,

How I am to others around,
And what others would think of this man,

That differs each time in front of the always-true mirror,

Not knowing when will be my last time attending the mirror.......

Bila Manusia Berjalan dgn kejayaan palsu~

Manusia boleh berjalan di muka bumi,tp ketahuilah sebab anda mmpu berjalan di muka bumi adalah dgn izin Allah~
Manusia,termasuk diriku..sering terlupa di mana diri berpijak,
Tidak tahu di mana kemuliaan diri yg sebenar...

Seringkali~
Kita merasakan bhw mulia itu dgn byknya harta, mulia itu bila tgginya pangkat...
Dgn itu berjalanlah si manusia, dgn sombong dn bongkak merasakan kejayaan dunia itulah kemuliaannya,
Serentak itu memandang rendah manusia lain, sedangkan hny Allah yg tahu kedudukan hambanya..
Dan memuja2 dunia bagaikan ianya akan kekal selamanya, sedangkan dunia ini adalah ujian semata2...
Tanpa menyedari saat itu semakin hampir...

Lebih baik~
Merasakan diri xpunya apa2, rendahkan diri walau dgn sesiapa
Bersangka baiklah dgn sesiapa jua,dn jika ada rasa dengki buangkanlah kerana ia xbermakna
Pendekkanlah angan2mu..tiada siapa tahu di mana hujung hayat kita~


Dgn itu, bangun dn doakan semua agar diberi petunjuk oleh Allah, dn minta Allah kekalkan petunjuk~

TAKING SHELTER DURING THE STORM, AND LEARN TO RECOVER~

I wake up one day.And waited the sun to rise..And hoped that the bright day going to last for the whole day~


But then, as I made my way, searching for the path of my life and clearing the obstacles on the so many paths available~


I could see the horizon became blackened, strong winds blowing dark clouds towards my way, herald the coming of a great,tremendous storm..that~


Every time it came, it forced me to find cover, and the strong winds which always been smearing back my hard work of clearing my chosen path..even adding in new obstacles...


Even though many times I have experienced the storm, everytime it came back, it was like, "I have never seen or be in this situation...


Seeing the terrifying sight made me wonder.."Will I be able to take shelter when the storm comes, and will I be able to recover the path chosen,or start again trodding a new path"

All give me a good lesson~

"That I be patient in overcoming the storm and its effects, and be patient in recovering the chosen path of my life.."

Band of Brothers

P/s : Uzaini,Iqbal,Ajue..sorry for i didnt hv ur pic included~

After action report of today:

Its Friday, 8th MAY 2009
the last working day of this week

And it seemed to carve me straight,deep in my heart that there will not be the same people next week during our practical time..

Time passes by, showing that everything that has a beginning has an end~
It seemed like its just yesterday when I last met these friends

I still remember~
Where exactly I first greet these people..


Where first I met Mustaqim
In the registration room..I just knew it that it was a UKM student and that he will be borrowing my pen when I saw his wasnt in good condition.And so he did~
and we became friends and started even harsh jokes on the first day
A highly disciplined person,and always give but never ask anything in return
Much I learnt from him.

When I first met Aifa :-),
I knew she is a good person..and I knew she will think me as a verily arrogant person..and so she did.I first "tegur" Aifa when in a little "Demo Kitchen",asking the name and her course in U. But we did not tegur2 for 2 months.And that only I started to knew her when I started cooling myself down at the Bakery Lab,where it all begins..Where my mind becoming clearer and clearer about her,little I knew that what was to become..;-)
AND SO IT BECAME~

When I first met Ain
She wasnt so talkative..and hardly be able to "jumpa" in the so-called dairy lab
A hard-working person she is..finished her works fast and efficient..how I wanted to challenge the discipline shown

When I first met the Nutrition personnels,
There were 3 of em..Iqbal,Zaza and Ajue.
All of them wasnt really well known,er I wasnt so talkative also..heh
But still they are friends to be treasured.

When I met the Margarine Girls~
That had been with Mr Hanif for 4 months
They are Hadani,Nurul..
Whom I first met both in the margarine plant
They were hard-working and really struggled alongside Hanif

When I met this Farhah UniKL
That she was with Ain and Aini at the dairy lab
Hmm..drove a sporty car she did
And became a trademark..heh
But we didnt get to know much,sorry but it was an honor.

When I met the Analytical "ROCK&ROLL" personnels,
Uzaini,Fatin and Farhana..these were very friendly actually.And it was me that wasnt too friendly. All I knew they are people with future visions, and always wanted to go forward, challenging themselves to be better.

But not all is lost,since Uswatun Hasanah and Safina from UKM will still be here,if i am not mistaken until 22nd of May 2009..the last remnants of UKM.

Know we did each other, and much we shared..I shall be dedicating a poem to all when my mind is ready~
All I can say know is that I learnt much from our days together,how I remember and wanted to treasure all of u..

So be4 I end this post, I want all of us:
PRAY THAT MAY ALLAH GUIDE ALL OF US TO THE RIGHT PATH, AND MADE US ALL STAYED IN THAT PATH UNTIL DEATH~
It is an honor to know u all..and the honor will always be mine~

Sometimes..

One person is just someone,
Who wanted to see u but just bashing the gates..
Sometimes its just someone,
Who wanted to see u and walk past the gate but stopped at the front door without knocking..
Sometimes its just someone,
Who wanted to see u,walk past the gate,stopped at the front door,knocks but being impatience..that he left be4 u could open the door..
BUT~
There will be someone,that walks past the gates,knocks the front door,and patiently waited for u to open the door..
THIS ONE~
Is a true friend

The Sun Sets~

The days are numbered..our days..[Dedicated to All Practical Students of MPOB]

At times, we can smile or just smile,
When actually things are not they are,
When all seems starting to wither,
At the moment and peak of wonder.

There were times we shared the smiles,
In between the times when tears are shed together,
Let the pictures be the medium of remembrance,
That leads all but none to wonder and keep on wonder.

As the leaves came down from their holder,
The old ones shed, leaving young buds together
While the shadow of the sun setting behind altogether,
Until the moon came, giving hope and promises better.

Learn to let all go as they must,
Allow new things to grow as they would,
And accept whatever happened as it is,
And take with ourselves only good matters together.

Past Purposes~

Today... i got a few lessons

Good ones..always good ones...After action report of today:~

Came back to MPOB (Malaysian PAlm Oil Board)..really late,its a problem when many things got screwed up, "Blasts, my heart is burning coz i made an agreement with my friends,i will be a burden for my waiting friends." However these boys were extremely patience..my sincerest thanks to Ahmad Marwan and Najib, whom go to extreme length in getting me to MPOB.But everything happpened is from Allah indeed, we should accept whatever happens. Alhamdulillah,praise to Allah that always protect us..whether we know how or not~

Nearly passed out, I struggled to make haste and continue my work today.Pushed myself to the max be4 falling down at 12.45 pm today. Really,no energy left...

Met two new brothers today:~

Please welcome : Brother Ilyas and Amar from USM, 2nd year from pure chemistry.Made friends with this two..chat for a while and therefore we r now friends.

GOOD LESSONS TODAY:
1. Learnt to improve our patience,always useful..it'll be a big problem when one acts without thinking,or the actions were influenced by mere emotions.

2.The act of my comrades today,that awaits me,even knowing i will be very late..is truly a sign of true friendship. I will protect this relationship,with my prayers to Allah.

3.Smile,always try to smile even in the most harsh situations..that'll lessen other people troubles from thinking too much about us, and know that we have Allah~
