Manners of talking

|
"Eh, apa ni semua salah?"
"Macam nak kena ketuk ah kepala si dekni"
"Dah semua nak kena tukar!"

And the feeling of dissatisfaction keeps on going, saying unwise comments and thinking that the conveyor of the above is right while such comments are intended to the other person believed to be making huge mistakes.

What's the conclusion of this disagreement?

It happens that the conveyor is wrong from the start. What is thought to be right, is the conveyor's own fault, overlooking the actual procedures and lacking observation. In the end, he/she is ashamed because of his/her own blunder. And the team has to redo the whole process.

What can we learn from this?

As Muslims, we should know that talk is very dangerous. We should control it within the limits of Islam. From the example above, the person criticise others without reflecting one's self. And that is why, the saying goes, "Practice what you preach".
Worse when it comes from any Muslim brother/sisters to our non-Muslim friends.

How would you feel to be in that situation?

Even if I'm not involved, I'll be shaken by the slight commotion. I fear to be influenced by any Gheebah (backbiting) or Nameemah (spreading talk among people to make them hate one another).

Usually, people love to do things which are wrong. And when they feel the 'nikmat' of backbiting others, they don't realise that they are actually the masterminds of bad talks spreading around. We should not believe everything. It might just be a malicious hearsay. Play safe.

I really hope that Allah shelters me from any of these activities. The only thing I can do is to refrain from listening. To share with you my dear readers as a form of reminder to us.

Tagline for the comic online is minna lana (dari kita untuk kita). Congrats to fellow Alwaniyyun who had their submissions chosen. I hope I am able to contribute for their #3 edition. Too long hiatus since the crash of my laptop and lost the files. Sungguh tak istiqamah.

End of Exams, Start of Reads

|
Praise be to Him! At last the past weeks of struggle is here to end? Nope, but to pause for a while to wait for my 2nd semester. There are still my results *shrieks* to look out for. So what have I seen? Some left their prints in the beginning and decided to end their journey. Others bowed and took up new challenges. While the rest persevered and still continue despite the juggle of life's demands.

Been waiting for the end of today's final paper. So after exams, with His will, unexpectedly, bull's eye! The book I've been looking for the past few months but succeeded in getting only one. Browsed other shelves, and bull's eye! Another wanted book in my list! So, I purchased 2 books today! Retail therapy, books! Alhamdulillah, agaknya Allah nak aku rehat baca buku dulu, the least leisure I could attain (Although I've been missing a lot of any youth events or programmes out there).

BUT, nak kena habiskan Ayat-Ayat Cinta dulu lah... But I have a strong feeling I'll be read hopping these 3!

Merdeka! Buat sementara...

Exams, studies

|
Yesterday was a chilly examination day. No, not mine. The PSLE o.r.a.l e.x.a.m.s.
It was my first time posted out. For the past two exams experiences, I was stationed at my own school's holding room. This time round, I was supposed to be on standby in school. Due to some hiccups, I had to replace a colleague as o.r.a.l e.x.a.m.i.n.e.r 1. Meaning, I am posted to a school nearby. Basically, the responsibility of being the o.r.a.l e.x.a.m.i.n.e.r 1 is a bit higher than 2. But I was glad to be paired up with a colleague from my prac school days. At least, this is a chance for me to learn the ropes. She was helpful and cooperative.

It was raining heavily on the 2nd day. Felt like an air-con room instead. An examinee's antics was one of the chilliest moments I had that day. We were quite startled by his actions. 'Is he going to cry?', 'Is he A-okay?' or when he concluded and got up, 'Is he having a headache?' His actions were quite provoking. All the symptoms were quite troubling but luckily, nothing happened. At least, the 2nd day of exam was more interesting than the first.

As for my kids in school, they are definitely enjoying themselves with 2 short weeks of studies due to ND last week and the PSLE exams this week. Alhamdulillah, at least those holidays for them and short working day for me helped in a way or another for my 4 papers of exams. I still have my last exam paper to worry and I can't wait for it to end tomorrow.
Time to hit the notes and book! *piak*

The 2 mths of Celebration! When flowers bloom! An ode...

|

The past two months, were full of gardens blooming with natural scented flowers. Had been a chaotic chore for most of us, I believe. Plans and more plans just to keep in touch with each other. Matching colours for the upcoming BIG days as bridesmaids or chosen Maid of Honour and welcoming new members to the club! (Let's have a Husbands' Welcome Tea one day shall we? Lols)

'Ainul Husna & Hisyam [The hot date 070707]

One of my very close 11 sekawan. Had our fair share of lil' secrets during secondary years. Had our tuition years together. Her family and mine were in the same orang kampung days. Did the wedding poster for her. And of course, Hisyam is also a friend of mine during our virtual days back in my Pre-U years and so, it is absolutely a heartfelt to see this long relationship reach the most anticipated day!

'Azma & Firdaus [National Day, 9 August 2007]

Another one of my very close 11 sekawan. Of course, knowing each other's family and travelled together before is a plus point. And she's the only one from the early years in Saff who remains which doesn't leave me alone there. I'll miss those NIE lunch days, swimming, and wats nots. To top this up, she tied the knot with one of the NTUMS family! (That's his trademark, oh yea) A brother whom I respect and like to discuss matters during our MS days last time. At last, it did happen yes?


sofyan, welcome to the club!
Nurhairiah & Sofyan [Post National Day, 11 August 2007]

My twin (if you pronounce our names in Arabic. That's why...). Yes, the BBC of 11 sekawan! Most news at the finger tips of hers. Basically we're close because of our names. We seldom meet because she's busy as well. But we'll keep up during our 11 sekawan gatherings. And family knows each other too (what's new?) I hope you like the simple wedding guestbook I did for you.

5 down! 6 more to go...
There's gonna be a break before another BIG day in 3 months' time.

I just can't believe it. To see my friends happily married. Those dear to me.
And it's always during the 'aqad that we'd see the tears of 11 sekawan.
Tears of happiness, tears of syukur.

p.s : Hid, pics of you that match our colour pls! You're wanted!

Soaring up high

|
Sometimes, they forget to look down.
They forget to relook. They forget to reflect.

Unless they understand and carry it out fairly.
Fair is not equal. It's based on one's capabilities.
Then they are there because of quality.

Doesn't mean they are high up there. They are better than you.
Something worth remembering.
Something comforting.
Short but sweet.
Thanks bro.
