MEE Steak.


We made, make and will make mistakes.

Salam, allo.

I've been keeping this for a long time now,
so I just rather let it out of my chest.
Err, I've been keeping this in the "draft" section
in my message folder in my handphone for quite some time,
and I would just let my handphone out and read it
when I feel bad about the things I have done.
It makes me feel better a bit and encourages me
to reflect the things that mattered the most and try to solve it out
rather than sulking and moaning and all.
Which, frankly, that I do in a rather ridiculous frequence
(the sulking, I mean)
Which, most days, I would keep it to myself anyway.
Well, ape2lah. Let's get back to the main story:

Well, there are many mistakes that I have done,
silly ones, unforgettable-and-maybe-
unforgivable-but-I'm-not-really-sure-about-that ones,
funny ones x), random ones, the unexpected,
and what-not which I wish I hadn't,
but, of course time is irreversible.
As it is generally known, it can be concluded
that this way, we could learn from them.

Nevertheless, I still wish there was a way that
I could redeem the mistakes I have done with
the right actions that should have been done.
Well, I guess, maybe there are advantages
or hikmah as to why it's fated to be this way;
try to recall the guilt and the dissapointment
and mainly the feeling of embarassment;
generally, that horrible horrible feeling we experienced
and other disadvantages in terms of mental, physical, social
and what-not depending on the mistake that has been done.
Not exactly the type of feeling in which the land of brownies
and fairies in fairy tales are based upon.
Now I'm just being silly. HAHAHAK.
Moving on.

In conclusion, because we are 'haunted' by our mistakes,
it would be less likely for us to repeat the mistake
or would think twice or thrice or fries before we took the action
that could brought us to the path of the disadvantages
that is generally known as I stated earlier.
Err, don't be lazy; scroll upwards a bit. Please :)

Nevertheless, at some situations,
without making mistakes,
we haven't the chance to do wonderful things
that we didn't imagine we could do
or to meet great people
who will play an important part in our lives
within our situation of making
that mistake or in the state of failure.
So don't be too bad about yourself
after making a slight misstep :)

It it is a circle of life, a route that can be considered
as compulsory to be ventured out to achieve our dreams and all.
Yeah I know I sound a bit cheesy and teensy-weensy
Disney Princess-ish, but it's true right? Well, ironically,
it can also happen within our situation of success.

So, I think, the conclusion is, that,
it all depends on Allah's will for He is the Almighty.
It depends on His Qada and Qadar.
For he knows what's best for his servants.
We as his servants should accept what He has fated.
That may be, but, we also should always choose over
the pathway of his blessing and rahmah and to
obey the things He ordered rather than the opposite.

But, people do make mistakes, because we are human.
I, myself, have done a lot of mistakes. A lot.
Honestly, I'm not trying to make you feel better
and it certainly doesn't do me any favour in terms of
unpleasant flashbacks and all but it's true.
And I'm afraid, I will be doing it.
Sooner or later.

It is in human's nature.
Kita semua adalah hamba Allah yang lemah dan hina.

The thing that could be concluded after making mistakes
is that, we should always come to Allah for forgiveness
with the deepest humbleness and modesty
and sincerity and promise not to repeat them.
If the mistakes concerns people, we should
apologize and seek forgiveness from them
and return the things we took from, to its owner.

Well, let's pray and hope for the best that all of us can do
and obey the things He ordered and to abandon the things
that He instucted to avoid, insyaAllah.

For surely we are Allah's and to Him we will return.

Never be ashamed of your mistakes.
It's all a part of growing up.

Wasalam.

^d8


Salam, allo.

First things first, I know that you are probably squinting your right eye whilst tilting your head to the left, puzzled at the title of this post. Let me shed some light here :

^ = up
d8 = date
hence, ^d8= update

Clever eh? Perahsantan la plak. HAHA :D (ye, saya tauhu, lawak tu dah basi sangat dah) Just trying to create an internet trend that's never to be. KUIKUIKUI.




Oh ye, cuba dengar lagu ni:
Yuna - Dan Sebenarnya


Best tak? Best tak? :D On Thursday [23/4] I came across a lyric pin-upin Airina's magazine, Yezz! There stood a girl in hijab, which most probably is the singer to the song. Saya pun tanyalah Airina & Hazirah sape die.

ME AIRINA HAZIRAH

"Sape dia ni?"
"Laaa, wak tak tau ke?
Best gile lagu ni"
"Enggak tau." 
http://www.emocutez.com
"Cuba awak cek 
myspace dia."

Maka, saya pown pergi la cek myspace dia seperti yang dicadangkan Airina. Best jgak lagu-lagu dia. Masa dia nyanyi lagu-lagu berbahasa Inggeris pun, bunyi cam omputeh btol. Agak fasih lah. Alkisahnya, hari tu, saya pi tengok lagu-lagu dia kat imeem dan video-video dia youtube, ada ramai yang komen, diaorang kata dia sepatutnya tutup aurat dengan lebih elok, lebih-lebih lagi dia memperagakan imej bertudung.

Hmm, bagi saya, itu hak dia lah kan, Itu hal dia dengan Allah s.w.t. Kita kena betulkan diri sendiri dulu. Baru layak untuk nasihatkan orang lain. Furthermore, kita perlu menyampaikan dakwah secara berhikmah agar nasihat kita tu dapat diterima dengan elok dan dapat memperagakan imej umat Islam yang berhemah.

Apa-apa pun, tak sangka ada jgak orang Melayu boleh buat muzik bertaraf international cam die. Kalau bawa ke luar negara, mesti meletup nih!

Peperiksaan pertengahan tahun 18hbTak ready langsung. Tarak ilham nak buka buku and filling my head with its numerous contents.


nik-nur-madiahah-2

Apa-apapun, hari tu dok selak-selak majalah Yezz! Airina nye, baca satu artikel ni, pasal Nik Nur Madihah yang dapat keputusan cemerlang dan menjadi pelajar terbaik SPM 2008 dengan mendapat 20A baru-baru ni.

Kejayaan pelajar Sekolah Menengah Agama Arab Maahad Muhammadi (P), KB, Kelantan (go Kelate! :D) ini agak istimewa kalu nak banding dengan pelajar-pelajar cemerlang SPM yang lain sebab dia anak nelayan, yang lain pulak, datang dari keluarga yang agak senang. Apa-pun, tahniah kepada yang berjaya jgak :D

Sebelum ni, saya pernah baca kat akhbar Utusan (online...) yang dia terpaksa berpuasa dan hanya makan roti atas sebab kesempitan hidup. Bagi dia, kemiskinan tak seharusnya jadi penghalangtapi dorongan untuk berjaya sambil membahagiakan ibu bapa yang telah banyak berkorban && berjasa.

Apa yang menariknya pulak, waktu belajar dia tak menentu. Dia tak amik kelas tambahan, belajar pun takde jadual. Menurut dia:

"Saya belajar bila terasa nak belajar tanpa terpaksa atau dipaksa."

Hmm mak bapak saya dapat membekalkan saya dengan keperluan (dan kehendak) dengan secukupnya, Alhamdulillah. Mampu untuk beli buku rujukan, ambik tuisyen, langgan internet yang bertujuan untuk rujukan tambahan. dan blogging... youtube... imdb... download lagu... Tapi saya masih tak dapat result yang memuaskan. Alhamdulillah, okaylah jgak. Tapi perlu lebih gempak lagilah. Cuma perlu extra effort, more efficient, time management, latih tubi, dan yang paling penting, berkat Allah s.w.t., ibu bapa dan guru. 

Tapi jangan asyik fokus kat akademik aje. Kenalah ada perkembangan diri yang menyeluruh jgak; rohani, emosi, intelek, jasmani. Kokurikulum pun kena gempak. HAHA. Gue ni cakap aje. Diri sendiri tak mau masuk apa-apa :P InsyaAllah kalau ada peluang, gue akan rebut. InsyaAllah, InsyaAllah.

Ohye, kalau korang refer to my previous posts, adalah kata pasal nama future anak kan.. HAKHAKHAKHAKHAKHAK.
Madihah jgak da, HAHA :P

Kayak Expedition @ Tasik Putrajaya

Salam allo :)

18th April

When we heard that there was to be another kayak expedition @ Putrajaya like the one that was on 2007, we were thrilled :D

Thus, me, Alya, Amirah, Hazirah, Amal, Hanisah & Mariyam (whose twin, Aishah can't participate due to hand injury) decided to go. I asked Hanim before to participate but she can't because she is no longer a student at the school :(

On the bus...

Approximately, more or less, 
an hour trip from school...

Reached our destination...


- the author had a brief pause due
 to unplesantly painful cramps -


Meehoon breakfast, not that I'm not grateful, but it kinda... er, tastes like plastic. Kind of lah.

"Water confident" program. Went in the pool. Alhamdulillah, succeeded in err, the movement where you have to jump in the water, whilst flapping your hands and feet, to avoid immersing your head in the water (head on the surface). The last time I didn't succeed so, yelah :D

A briefing on kayak tools and equipment...

Changed our attires...

There was to be a quick brief kayaking around the lake just for testing. Alya & I were late so there was no "double kayak" for us, so we had to go for single which was really really tiring.
http://www.emocutez.com

Row row row your kayak 
gently down the lake...

Lunch: Nasi ayam (chicken rice). Sedaaaaaaap :D Or was it that we were really really hungry? Hehe, nevertheless it almost lead me to second helpings. Almost lah. Because there were no extra, cukup2 je. Pelikla jugak sebab sebelum ni, apa-apa makanan yang bukan mak saya buat, kurang seleranya. Tapi kali ni nak makan banyak pula. HAHAHA, penat sgt kot. Apa-apapun, kita patut bersyukur jugak, dok?

Solat. It was really calming to hear the muazzin recite the azan from the Masjid Putra beside the lake(my house was'nt really near to the masjid; if everyone and everything in the neighbourhood was mute, I can hear lah :P) so, it was really calming and as though all my tiredness dissapear into thin air.I wished my house was near to the masjid :/

We hung out at the nearby pondok, throwing stones in the lake and all. We had a good time lah. Some of us can't stop throwing the stones till we were called. HEHE :P

Another kayak expidition (a longer and far more cramp-inducing than the kayak test before) but this time Alya & I successfully obtained the double kayak! :D Alhamdulillah! :)

We had to do the movement of, errr... We had to join all the kayaks with each kayak joined from the side. The trainer said this step is vital especially at the sea because a kayak can easily get toppled over if they were mega monstrouswaves but when we join all the kayaks, even a big wave cannot topple the kayaks. Wallahualam.

"You! One of you head to the other kayak at the other side." 

A trainer called out to me and Alya. (our kayak was at the outermost left side, the kayaks are still joined together) I remembered this step. This step requires two individuals from different kayaks and from different sides to move to the other's kayak. I was on the left side the other guy was on the right and about 20 kayaks sandwiched between the two sides. So the ones chosen had to cross on all the other kayaks to get there.

I said to Alya it's okay, I'll go. So, I had to step on all the other kayaks to get to the other guy's kayak. While the other guy head to mine. It wasn't that hard though but I remain careful of my steps.

I was bummed because I finally got the chance to kayak with my best friend. But it was quite fun when the waves from the boats speeding up beside us glide under our kayaks which made us bouncing up and down. If you know what I mean. Haaaih, I'm a failure when it comes to descriptive writing. That's why I blog. HAHA :P Err you know, to obtain efficiency in that area of writing... Ape ape lah. Moving on.

But at last, the trainer let me and the other guy get to our respective kayaks. Yeaaa! :D

Then we kayaked to errr, some sort of a dam. Some sort of waterfall. Err, all I can say here is seeing is believing :D The end.

This kayak expidition was pretty short than the previous on 2007 I think the previous kayak expidition was longer and more fun. Never mind lah. It was a good experience, nevertheless :)

Finally, we're on the bus; heading towards home. Oyeah, I captured a video of Amirah & Mariyam dancing to Super Junior's "Sorry Sorry" Kelakar gile yg teramat sgt! HAKHAKHAKHAKHAK :P Tapi terer jgak diaorang menari ;)

Thank you for everything :)

10th April

It's Dina's last day :( I knew her since I was 10, so, I was sad like all the others as we knew her for so long. Especially Hazirah and Shuhada (Shu) for they knew each other for 10 years and were best of friends since they're in Standard 3. As 10th April comes, Hazirah and Shu spends a lot of time with her. 

She is a good friend, a super genius, likes to make her friends laugh and would remember almost everyone's birthday :) 

So, of course, we want to make that day a special day :) Like Wawa's farewell + birthday party and Hanim's trip & bowling at the Curve (refer to 21st February post) we'd like to make it special, too :D

She received cards and a "gorilla" card from Alya :P Dina said that card was really "unique :P It also had a  - errr, special meaning to it :P We signed our names and greetings on the gorilla card and I couldn't help but notice she quite frequently open the card now and then on that day :P 

Alya mooted an idea and asked me to make a poem for her. I started to make a poem and I don't exactly remember how a song came to mind as I wrote down the first words.

I asked Amirah's help along the way and as we finished the song and we couldn't help but hum it on the way to the canteen. We think it's very catchy :P But I couldn't remember we get the tune from, because the tune is certainly not original but the lyrics are ;) 

Amirah and I sneakily teach the others the tune of the song in class and during breaks.

Amirah and I suddenly remembered that we got the tune from Sudirman's Apa Khabar Orang Kampung. Hehe :P Or maybe from the Cucur Adabi commercial. Dunno lah which. Both sounds quite identical to me. Errr, moving on.

As it was the last period and it was Agama so we had to go the Maths room for the class (yes, Agama in Maths room :P ) we decided to do it at that time, briefly. We cannot play the truant card mah. Nanti kena tuduh ponteng plak :P

We said to Dina that we had a special performance for her. We rehearsed a while as she's gone to get her camera from Ain and waited at the back of the school to "perform".

As she recorded the video, we, i.e.  me, Amirah, Alya, Hazirah, Shu, Aishah and Hanisah sang the song:

Salam sejahtera buat Dina
Sudah mahu ke seberang sana
Nampaknya sudah, lama 'kan tak jumpa

Huoi!
Jangan lupa kita

Kami di sini setia menunggu
So, marilah jenguk selalu
Lama-lama pun kami tak jemu

Huoi!
Jangan lupa kita (3x)

Idea asal: Alya
Ciptaan: Amnas (Amalina lah, bunyi pro sikit :P) dan Amirah
Ciplak-an: Irama lagu Sudirman "Apa Khabar 
Orang Kampung" ataupun iklan Cucur Adabi.


At the "Huoi" part, we put our hands up in the air, hakhakhak :P After the song, Hazirah and Shu presented a speech to Dina (being recorded too) which was quite funny :P 

The "Huoi!" part reminds me of the old, P. Ramlee movies. Don't remember which movie or which scene, but it does reminds me of that. Alya and I joked about the old movies where girls in "kain batik" would swim in the river while splashing each other and the boys would "skodeng" behind the trees :P

Dina said that she was very "terharu" (flattered) http://www.emocutez.com and thank us a million times. Ceh, takde la sampai a million, kuikuikui. 

We went into the Maths room to study agama. Yeah, we were quite late :P Don't try this at school, kids. Ever :]

The bell rings! Yeaaahh! As we go down the hill (the school is situated on top of a hill. YE, serius) Alya, Amirah and I watched Dina and her friends throw flour to each other. Hazirah, being a quite of a clean conscious person, didn't :P

As we waited for Pak Cik Mad to pick us up, we watched the video and laughed at the things we did while we sang the song. Kuikuikui :P

Well, all of us just want to say to Dina, i.e., 

Thank you
terima kasih,
syukran
jazakullahu khaira
aligato
merci
gracias
grazie 

for everything :)
 
&& 

minta maaf sebab kalau ada apa-apa salah & silap.

Moga Allah sentiasa memberkati anda
dalam perjuangan menempa kejayaan
We'll miss you! :)
