Things don't always go your way~

Things may not always turn out the way you want. Your desires and fancies aren't always satisfied or never will be forever. Today maybe is your lucky day, but perhaps not tomorrow. Only Allah knows the reasons why something that you wished happened or isn't happen. All these abstract things in life could only be understood after you've went through the peak point in life. No pain, no gain.

Thus, after looking back and reflecting on what I've been through so far, I come to realize about this one thing. I can't always get all that I wish for. Thinking of it might make me feel bad but I believe there are lots more ahead, even more challenging ones. Starting from now, slowly try to accept whatever you get and happen to you with open heart. Learn to be more give and take. And always remember that Allah knows the best. I wish and I am trying to be that kind of person too. Insyaallah.

Officially Graduated, Alhamdulillah~

On the 15^th of December 2011, I officially ended my chapter as an undergraduate from QUT/IPGKBA and will be beginning a new journey of life as a teacher in primary school. It was the day that I looked forward to since the first day I stepped into tertiary education. It was the day my parents watched with pride and joy as their youngest daughter graduates (i’m sure that my late abah was watching me from there too). It was the day we all put on the honorable robes and mortarboards while sitting with beautiful smiles in neat rows and with the feeling of achievement we made our way up the stage to receive our degree from the Chancellor. It had been a very interesting, enlightening and rewarding experience to return to Brisbane for the graduation day and the piece of completion of course certificate that hereby conferred me my TESL degree. Alhamdulillah, I am very grateful that after 5 years of hardwork, I’m glad that we had all made it and were able to graduate together. Congratulations my dear friends!

To Abah, I’m sure you’ll be the happiest person and must be very proud of me. To Mama, thank very much for all your love, support, doa and for always have faith in me. Without you, I may not be able to achieve this stage. To my sisters, mr.KA, lecturers, family and friends, thanks you very much too. Only Allah can pay back all your good deeds for me. Thank you everyone.

this is especially for you, abah and mama.

the one and only picture, more coming up all the way from Aussie, insyaAllah.

Bahasa Melayu~

“Bahasa Melayu telah mencapai puncak kegemilangan sebagai bahasa tamadun Melayu baharu dengan menjadi bahasa pentadbiran, bahasa diplomasi, bahasa undang-undang, bahasa ilmu dan falsafah, bahasa perdagangan serta bahasa ketatanegaraan”

(Profesor Awang Sariyan, 2008)

Merujuk petikan dia atas, ia membuktikan bahawa Bahasa Melayu sentiasa dimartabatkan. Ini kerana dengan memartabatkan bahasa kebangsaan, penyatuan rakyat Malaysia dapat dipertingkatkan dimana ia juga secara tidak langsung mempamerkan jati diri dan identiti negara kita Malaysia.

Namun, apa yang dapat diperhatikan di ruangan Facebook atau laman sosial yang lain, anak-anak remaja sekarang yang terdedah kepada perkembangan teknologi dan dunia alam maya, kebanyakan mereka gemar menulis ayat Bahasa Melayu dengan menggunakan perkataan yang menpunyai penambahan “w” di hujung perkataan seperti jew, kew, lew dan lain-lain lagi. Keadaan ini jika dibiarkan mungkin akan memusnahkan kecantikan dan keunikan Bahasa Melayu di mana akhirnya ia mungkin tidak lagi boleh dibanggakan oleh rakyat Malaysia. Saya percaya, langkah kerajaan untuk melaksanakan MBMMBI merupakan satu inisiatif yang baik untuk menyedarkan generasi kini bahawa ianya penting untuk mereka memartabatkan Bahasa Melalu disamping mengukuhkan penguasaan Bahasa Inggeris.

Mungkin saya juga belum mampu menulis dengan baik dalam menggunakan Bahasa Melayu. Tetapi saya harap generasi kini mampu memastikan bahasa kita mudah dibaca dan difahami. Insyaallah.

Evening tea~

went out with mama today and went to Jovian Mandagie boutique to survey for wedding dress for my sister. then did a little window shopping in Bangsar Village since mama is searching for a new pair shoes for herself. we then had an evening tea as mama wished to have some pastries. alhamdulillah, thank you Allah for still giving me chances to spend time with my beloved mama.

p/s: still waiting for my posting result. hoping that i'll be posted to the place that i wish which is Kedah. insyaallah.

Better driving please~

Just yesterday, I almost hit by a taxi on the fast lane when the taxi driver decided to change lane just because he wanted to pass through the red traffic light. And I often come across the same incident when a car or motorcycle decides to cut in to the fast lane without checking if it is safe to change lane. Not putting up any indicators when wanting to switch lane has been a normal habit to some of Malaysian drivers. They seem to always think that other drivers are able to anticipate their every move and will simply give way when they suddenly cut in. I just hate this situation. When driving, I am the only one who needs to consider about others. Sometimes, their attitude can simply ruin my mood of that particular day.

A lot of campaigns have been organized by the government, thousands of road signs have been made along the roads or highways to advise drivers to be cautious, careful and ensure that they obey the speed limit and practice safe driving. But all those seemed to be useless as there still some drivers who tend to ignore all the signs.

I know, all this will happen again and again. But until when? Why some of them are so selfish by not considering others’ safety on the road?

Please, be considerate about other people too Malaysian drivers. Better driving please.

Sincerity~

"when you give or do something for and to others from your heart without expecting anything in return, you'll feel that your good deeds will "bounce" back to you in amazing and unusual ways".

sincerity is beautiful. why? because when you give because of Allah, you will never ever hope for anything in return. you will never regret if your good deeds are not being paid. you will never feel difficult to help others. because you know that Syurga is already there for you. InsyaAllah.

so, be sincere in everything you do. be sincere in everything you give. sincerity brings happiness and calmness to yourself. it will bring the spirit of joy from your heart if you really feel the sweetness of giving without expecting anything in returns. i believe, nothing could brighten your day than hearing others expressing their most heartfelt gratitude and seeing their smiles from ear to ear.

give freely from your heart, because of Allah, InsyaAllah, the reward will be greater.

She's a grown up girl~

She started school this morning,

She looked very pretty, beautiful and brave girl,

As I walked there beside her,

In her school hall.

And as she took her place beside other children in the class,

I realized how all too fast,

Those few years passed.

Remembering the first time,

I saw her when she was born,

she smiled and laughed at me,

she started to crawl,

she learned to walk,

she started to talk,

she learned to write,

and the list goes on and on....

I must accept that she's no longer a little baby girl,

She's a grown up girl,

She will learn and explore new things,

She will learn what life is all about.

I promise you my girl,

I will always be by your side,

through your ups and downs,

to guide you,

to ensure that you're on the right path,

InsyaaAllah.

Congratulations on your first day of school Inas Al-Bakri!

Semoga Inas menjadi anak yang cemerlang di dunia dan akhirat.

I will always pray for your success Sayang!
