Tagged - for CHARITY.

Assalamualaykum.
While I was blog hopping just now, I ended up in Abe Id's blog.
It's been a long time since I last read+leave comments in his blog.
My apologies, Abe Id.
But I guess it's my call-lah, reading it when I can contribute something to the orphans.
Alhamdulillah, maybe it's my luck.

Unlike the usual 'tagged games', this tag or as Abe Id calls it 'meme', is meant for charity.
He will contribute RM127 to the Rumah Anak Yatim Nurul Izzah for every meme completed before 26th of August on our behalf.
The meme is about completing at least seventeen (17) out of the following twenty seven (27) sentences.
Here's mine (in red colour).

♥ These can be copied and pasted to your entry ♥

1. A person is only as good as he/she wants to be, it's all up to oneself.
2. Friendship is always meaningful and important to me.
3. To love is to care and to be there whenever that special someone needs you.
4. Money makes me forget that I need to save some. LOL
5. I miss being with my family and hanging out with my closest friends.
6. My way of saying I care is by being a good listener and a shoulder to cry on to my loved ones.
7. I try to spread love and happiness by caring for my family and friends unconditionally.
8. Pick the flowers when it blooms, for beautiful flowers don't always last long.
9. To love someone is to care and to always be there for him/her.
10. Beauty is skin-deep, but in reality it's vice-versa. (sadly)
11. When I was thirteen, what I remember the most was my first wonderful year in TKC.
12. When I was twenty one, I remember struggling for my teaching course!
13. I am most happy when I'm with family and friends and also when I'm in blogland.
14. Nothing makes me happier than seeing the faces of my nephews and niece.
15. If I can change one thing, I will change my attitude. (I'm a terrible time manager)
16. If smiles were like shotguns then I would smile to Bush and his allies non stop.
17. Wouldn't it be nice if we could live in world where there is no war?
18. If you want to be successful then you have to pass your UPSR first! (this is meant for my students..) LOL
19. Money is not everything but it matters so much today. (if only it doesn't..) sigh~
20. The most touching moments I have experienced is watching a father cried during his daughter's akad nikah. =(
21. I smile when I'm happy.
22. When I am happy, I smile. LOL
23. If only I don't have to stay for my students' camping this weekend, then I'd be on my way home by now. huhuhuhu..
24. The best thing I did yesterday was teaching my collegues English.
25. If I ever write a book, I will give it this title,"Buku Rancangan Mengajar Harian". LOL (I've been writing the book since my first practical and it'll only end when I retire from teaching.)
26. One thing I must do before I die is to love someone and to have my own children. Amin~ (now that's more than ONE, right?)
27. Doing this meme, I feel like I have done something good. All thanks to Abe Id. Semoga Allah merahmati usaha murni Abe Id. Aminnnnnn~

♥ ♥ ♥

And in honour of Abe Id's noble effort, I'd like to tag these people..
This is definitely not a must, but if you can find time to complete the meme, it would be great.

But since this is for charity, I'm extending the invitation to everyone who happens to read today's entry and willing to complete the meme.
And once you've finished (and posted it in your blog), do leave a comment in Abe Id's blog so that he can count yours in the list.
May this good effort will receive Allah's blessing.
InsyaAllah.
Wassalam.

Wow!!!

Assalamualaykum..
These students really do us proud.
Reading this from the newspaper yesterday made me feel so small inside.
Teachers must've been so proud of them.
So do we, sisters!

Pelajar cipta ekstrak kadok cegah ulser

Oleh Hussain Said

SEREMBAN: Dua pelajar Tingkatan Lima Kolej Tunku Kurshiah di sini, berjaya menghasilkan bahan mencegah ulser perut daripada ekstrak akar pokok kadok atau nama saintifiknya piper sarmentosum yang tumbuh meliar di negara ini.

Hasil kajian mereka sejak Jun tahun lalu itu, Nur Syahrina Ahmad Salim, dari Shah Alam, Selangor dan Nur Farawahidah Mohd Yusof, dari Parit, Perak memenangi Pertandingan Inovasi Sains Sekolah Berasrama Penuh anjuran Kementerian Pelajaran yang diadakan di Sekolah Menengah Sains Dungun, Terengganu, 22 April lalu.

Kejayaan kajian mereka bertajuk Kadok Sebagai Ejen Cegah Ulser itu akan dipatenkan dengan kerjasama Universiti Malaya (UM), selain terpilih untuk menyertai satu pertandingan penyelidikan antarabangsa di Jerman, akhir tahun ini.

Ketika ditemui pemberita di sini semalam, Nur Syahrina, 17, berkata idea mengkaji akar pokok kadok muncul selepas dia mendapati ramai yang tidak mengetahui khasiat tumbuhan itu walaupun sering menggunakannya untuk pelbagai tujuan.

“Kami mengambil contoh akar kadok daripada kira-kira enam guni tumbuhan itu yang dikumpulkan dari beberapa kawasan di sekitar Seremban. Akar itu dihancurkan sebelum direndam dan patinya yang siap ditapis, digunakan sebagai bahan pencegahan itu,” katanya.

Nur Farawahidah pula berkata, hasrat mengkaji kesan ekstrak akar kadok dalam pencegahan ulser dibuat selepas mereka mengetahui penyakit itu menyerang kira-kira sejuta penduduk dunia.

Beliau berkata, selepas mendapat ekstrak akar kadok, bahan itu kemudian diproses menjadi pati minyak sebelum diuji kepada tikus.

Dua ujian dijalankan iaitu seekor tikus diberi makan pati akar kadok dan seekor lagi diberi minum air suling. Kedua-dua haiwan itu kemudiannya diberi sejenis alkohol sebagai ejen menghasilkan ulser.

“Pembedahan perut haiwan berkenaan mendapati tikus yang hanya minum air suling mempunyai kesan luka atau ulser dalam perut, manakala yang diberi minum pati akar kadok sihat,” katanya.

Guru biologi kolej itu yang juga penyelaras kajian terbabit, Siti Raudhah Amir, berkata kajian menggunakan tikus sebagai binatang uji kaji dalam penyelidikan berkenaan dibuat secara saintifik di makmal UM.

“Kajian itu 100 peratus tepat kerana seperti biasa, ubat-ubatan yang digunakan manusia diuji menggunakan spesimen tikus. Jadi bahan pencegah ulser ini boleh diguna pakai terhadap manusia,” katanya.

FAKTA
Pokok kadok

Nama saintifik piper sarmentosum.

Nama lain, sirih duduk.

Menyerupai pokok sirih tetapi tumbuh di atas tanah bukan tumbuhan memanjat.

Mudah ditanam dan hidup subur di kawasan lembap.

Air yang direbus dengan akar pokok kadok dapat melawaskan kencing. Daun mujarab merawat demam malaria.

Tumpang bangga je la..

My Abah.


A call from Abah yesterday...

Abah: Bakpo tok balik? [why didn't you come back(for the weekend)?]
Fizzy: Skoloh haghi ni. [I've school today]
Fizzy: Nati ghayo cuti strek. [for Raya,I'll have a longer break.]
Abah: Hrmmmm...

*silence*

Abah: Deme ko? [are you sick (flu)?]
Fizzy: Dok eh.. bakpo? [no.. why?]
Abah: Lain jah sogho.. [your voice sounds different..]

*tears*

♥ ♥ ♥

Abah missed me, right?
That's why we had such a conversation.

I miss him (and Ma) too .

But we don't utter "I Love You", or "I Miss You".
Not during phone calls or face to face.
That's just not our way.

Deep down I know that's the exact words Abah wanted to tell me.
And I wanted to tell him that too.
=)

Abah, even though I know you won't be reading this, but I just want to say;

I ♥ U, Abah

Wassalam.

Help!

Assalamualaykum..
During my lunch break yesterday [at the course], I checked my email and was a bit shocked to read a forwarded message from my TKC OGA.The message entitled "A brother is lost" caught my eyes and I went on reading it.
One of our OGs brother was missing since the mid of July and the family was dissappointed as the police had done almost nothing to find him.

He is 26 and mentally disabled, but that doesn't mean anyone should take this missing case very lightly.
According to Kak Leng (tkc8993) [who forwarded the message from the sister], the police even said that since the missing person is already 26, they did not prioritize the case.
Dang! Anyways, there was an article that came out in The Star last Friday.
You can read it here.


And this is the email from his sister Kak Mie (tkc8993) forwarded by Kak Leng:

Salam,
Hi all.
I know this is about to become like me airing my dirty laundry for the world to know, but I feel so desperate.I need to tell this to you girls.My brother Salhi has been ill with a psychiatric illness.Schizophrenia to be precise. He is 26 and he started having mental disturbance at 17 when he was in MCKK lagi.He was the genious of the family, the badut of the family and the best little brother anyone could ever wish for.
Past 10 years saw him deteriorating and my heart sgt sgt sebak when this time, I went to the hospital in KB to find him locked up in a cage, together with people I would not even look at, bcos they scare me. He had extra muscular twitches and gaunt facial expression. Memang tak nampak mcm my used to be little brother anymore. In between bites of coney dog ( dia suka A&W) he managed to tell me 'Nak sekolah balik Kak Mie please '. Repeatedly. I just held back tears.
We took him out, and he was stable during my wedding. Masa reception I kept him occupied with a camera so people don't feel obliged to make a petty talk with a 'weird' looking man. Everything was fine. On Friday the 13th, he left home saying he wanted to go for a walk. RM 3.50 in his pocket. He never came back. Duit tak ada, IC tak ada. We looked for him everywhere, satu Kelantan. No news.
He hasn't taken his medications for 2 weeks now, I tak tahulah how he is now.Mungkin kalau you all jalan2 kat KL nampak budak gila (I have to accept this now) talking to himself, kotor, kurus tak terurus, kejap cakap english kejap cakap kelantan, that's him. Let me know. What I fear is that he got hit by a lorry ke, in a ditch somewhere waiting to be found. I am writing almost with tears all the time. Partly because I am frustrated there wasn't much time for me in Malaysia, to do anything. Police report has been filed and my other brother has written in the Star.
Now this waiting game is making me very apprehensive.Usually he'll find means to go back to Kuala Kangsar. 2 kali he was found in MCKK in the past. His memory seemed to have stopped at that point in hislife. Allah sahajalah yang tahu why he is tested this far. To him he is still 17.
Doakan so he's looked after by people yang he come across, who would find sympathy in them to give him food and a place to shut his eyes. Insy. Amiin. And I am sorry if anybody finds this upsetting.

Love, Najmiah

Second message:

I go through a cycle of optimism and pessimism. Looking at how he was found last time after 4 days missing , by the roadside, cengkung and dishevelled, makan tak minum tak tidur tak, I just hope he's still alive.On the cause of his illness, I am not the best to outline the cause, but what i know is always complained about being bullied in MCKK. To what extent we didn't know because at the time it's our fault we thought he was'just saying it'.So nobody paid attention to his complaints.
After getting some prize money for his 8As PMR from a Japanese Minister he ran away from school but not to home, but to KL. When we found him he said he couldn't stand school. Nak balik rumah takut my dad marah. My dad took him out of school and he went to a school in Kelantan. Towards his SPM he was getting worse but managed 2A1 - Physics and Add Maths.
Already on tablet he joined the flying school, he was always fascinated by airplanes, always wanted to be a pilot. Half a year he was there (Kedah I think) they found his tablets and he was expelled. He took a turn for the worse.When he got slightly better I got him enrolled in a private college. He received a best student award when he was on this medication tradename Domatil. Somehow the tablet was stopped ( pricey I think) and he was on Risperidone ( for those medics who are interested) , he is never stable since and he couldn't sit his exams.
To what extent was he bullied? Was it very bad that he couldn't tell anyone? Sexually? Or was he already 'crazy' so people bullied him? Chicken ke egg ke. I reserve my comments for now on boarding schools.
May he returns safe.
Amiin.

Wallahualam.. I do hope somebody can offer some help.And if there's any MCKK OBs reading this, I also hope that you can spread this news.He was an Old Boy regardless he was only there until form 3.
Wassalam~

hols!

Assalamualaykum.

It's school break, my friends.
Hehehehehehehehehe..
From 7th - 15th of March 2008.
:D

InsyaAllah, if GE goes well [meaning we get the results as we wanted for our state..hehe], my family and I will be going to Cameron Highlands.
A getaway my brother in law has planned for all of us..[so not really connected to GE-lah]
I'm not really looking forward to go to Tanah Tinggi actually [as I'm more tempted to go shopping in KL], but alas, bila lagi kan?

Then on the 12th of March I'll be sitting for my PTK examination AGAIN.
Please, I'm in desperate need for your prayers so that I'll pass with flying colours this time.
For the record, in order to 'naik tangga gaji' [don't ask me what tangga means], we have to get Band 4 for the two papers we'll be sitting for.
Last time I only got Band 3 for both papers.
Sigh~

Lastly, to Pa'chik, in light of the coming GE, I pray for the wellness of our state, Kelantan Darul Naim.
May the Almighty Allah Subhanah Wataala be with us.
Amin.

Wassalam.

*sob sob*

Assalamualaikum..

Lately, I think I'm being overly sensitive.
By being sensitive I mean it's quite easy for me to cry these past few days.
I cried over a-little-bit-stupid thing like I did a few days back.
Last night, I even cried when watching the final episode of an American sitcom "Still Standing".
[I cried because last night's episode was about parents neglecting their child, not because the series ended,ok?=)]

And just now, while reading Cik Puan Asni's latest entry, I couldn't help myself but to shed tears.
Reading about what happened to Abah before the aqad, it made my heart sink.
Even though I already knew about the incident, but reading it through Asni's writing touched my heart again.
It shows how great a father could and should be, esapecially when it comes to marrying off your first child.
The part that saddens me most was when Asni said she didn't cry during the aqad, but *Abah did.
It's true, as I eye-witnessed that when Abah came into Asni's room and asked for her accordance for the aqad.
Abah's eyes were filled with tears.

Asni, I think since your engagement I finally could see the soft side of your Abah.
I mean, all this while, we always regarded Abah as the serious type, one that you could not bergurau with etc.
Perhaps, that mainly because we rarely have conversations with him. [Like we have with Ummi. =)]
Well, the new-found Abah that we know now is so sweet, and caring.
The same goes to Ummi.

To say that my over-sensitiveness these days is due to post-PMS, I think it's a bit overrated.
I come to a conclusion that the main reason is because I really² miss my family and friends.
The two weeks holidays spent with them, and suddenly working for the whole week after, is a bit too much for my emotions to handle.
I just need to see them.

A.S.A.P.

Wassalam~

*Abah+Ummi in this entry are Asni's parents. Hope I didn't confused anyone by referring her parents as Abah+Ummi. =)

Eid'07

bluff²

Assalamualaykum.

My report on our escapade last weekend will have to wait.
Firstly, because the pictures are not ready.. [photoshop-ing most of them!:D]
And most importantly because I want to share this with all of you reading.

Yesterday evening, as I was driving home from school I heard from the news in Era that our country is ranked 6th in the World Competitiveness Year Book by IMD.
What is IMD? I too had no idea until Wan gave me the link to its press release this morning.
I quote that report :

IMD, International Institute for Management Development, in Lausanne, Switzerland, is recognized as one of the world leaders in executive education.

I thought the rank was too good to be true, but I kept to myself and planned to look more into it during my free time today.
Google..Google..Google...
But Wan saved my time when he gave me the link.. and my goodness!
Was I shocked to see the real rank of our oh-so-called-competetive country..?
The truth is, we ranked...

23rd !

Sorry, I wasn't trying to toy with any political stuff or whatnot but why bluff?
23rd out of 55 countries is not that bad, if you ask me.
We have to be realistic and try to accept the fact.
Then only we can try harder to be better.. and really be in the 6th place.
Because we deserved it.

Friends who are reading this might think that it's still not our 'thing' to be talking about this.
But please be reminded that we ARE in fact turning into 25 this year. [sob-sob]
That's a QUARTER of a century,babes.. so, it's time to be talking serious stuff too.
At least once in a while.. [most of the time we'll be GOSSIPPING.. lol!]

Here are the links that I got from my friend Azwan this morning..
Read and do give me some opinions.
And if I misunderstand any of that stuff, I stand to be corrected.

Read this first.

And then this one.

Wassalam.

Sorry, YOU'RE SO STUPID!!!!

Assalamualaykum..
First of all, I'd like to apologize for the unmannerly title.
But after reading yesterday's newspaper I was furious.
I was so angry, and at the same time felt so annoyed.
Read this:

Mana perginya tudung Salima?

Oleh: NIEZAM ABDULLAH

Apa sudah jadi dengan bekas pelajar Akademi Fantasia Keempat (AF4) iaitu Salima? Sebelum ini dia begitu mempertahankan pendirian untuk tidak membuka tudung apatah lagi mendedahkan rambutnya kepada umum.

Sehinggakan gadis berusia 19 tahun ini turut kesal apabila pihak Astro menerusi program Fail Sulit AF telah menyiarkan gambar-gambarnya yang tidak bertudung ketika terlantar sakit selepas terlibat dengan kemalangan jalan raya di Temerloh tidak lama dulu.

Kata Salima ketika itu, dia kesal apabila pihak Astro menayangkan gambar-gambar tersebut sedangkan dia telah melarangnya sejak awal lagi.

Jika dilihat daripada kenyataan itu, ia memperlihatkan Salima begitu mempertahankan soal rambut atau auratnya.

Beliau menganggap perkara itu adalah maruah diri dan penyiaran beberapa keping gambar di dalam program berkenaan ternyata mencabuli haknya sebagai gadis bertudung.

Bagaimanapun semasa pementasan teater Rangkas Putera di Auditorium Muzium Sultan Alam Shah, Shah Alam pada 13 hingga 15 April lalu, ramai yang terkejut melihat penampilan terbaru Salima.

Gadis itu muncul dalam teater purbawara arahan Azmi Zainun tanpa memakai tudung dengan memegang watak Permaisuri Tanjung Karang.

Teater itu mengisahkan seorang bayi yang ditemui di sebuah rumpun buluh oleh sebuah keluarga diraja lalu dibesarkan dalam kehidupan istana.

Bayi yang diberi nama Rangkas Putera itu tidak membesar sebagaimana diharapkan sebaliknya telah mengganas dan merampas takhta keluarga angkatnya.

Tidak dinafikan persembahan Salima bersama Ifa Raziah dan Adlin (AF2) itu benar-benar memperlihatkan bakatnya dalam bidang teater. Tetapi persoalannya di manakah tudung Salima? Adakah kerana ingin memenuhi impian berlakon teater tersebut memaksa dia mencabuli pendiriannya selama ini?

Menurut Salima, dia sendiri sudah mengagak kemunculannya itu akan menimbulkan kontroversi terutamanya soal pemakaian tudung. Gadis bernama Nor Salima Habibi ini sebenarnya sudah bersiap sedia terhadap jawapan bagi persoalan yang bakal dibangkitkan itu.

Katanya, apa yang dilihat oleh penonton itu sekadar rambut palsu. Pada dasarnya Salima tidak menanggalkan tudung jauh sekali dengan sesuka hati ingin mempertontonkan rambutnya kepada umum.

Sebaliknya sebelum rambut palsu disarungkan di kepalanya, dia terlebih dahulu memakai anak tudung yang menutupi keseluruhan rambut asalnya.

Dia juga menganggap, tindakannya itu tidak salah dan bersedia berhadapan dengan apa juga persoalan yang akan dibangkitkan selepas ini.

‘‘Saya berpendapat dengan cara itu saya masih lagi tidak mendedahkan rambut saya kepada orang ramai. Saya masih menutup aurat kerana rambut asal ditutupi dengan anak tudung sebelum saya dipakaikan dengan rambut palsu,’’ katanya. [soooooooo stupid!!!]

Menurut Salima, dia mendapat tawaran berlakon teater tersebut selepas diajak oleh Ifa Raziah beberapa bulan lalu.

Secara kebetulan Salima diminta untuk menggantikan watak orang lain yang tidak dapat turut serta di dalam pementasan berkenaan.

Bagaimanapun selepas perbincangan dengan pengarah teater itu, Salima bersetuju untuk memakai anak tudung bagi menghormati skrip teater tersebut.

Benar kata Salima itu tetapi cara tersebut hanya menutupi rambut sebaliknya bagaimana dengan bahagian telinga, leher dan dada yang masih terdedah?

Ini kerana imej beliau selama ini menutupi keseluruhan bahagian tersebut. Bagaimanapun Salima tetap mempertahankan pendiriannya untuk muncul di pentas teater itu.

‘‘Saya anggap tindakan saya itu tidak salah kerana masih menutupi rambut asal,’’ katanya. Gadis ini juga menolak langkah yang diambilnya itu semata-mata untuk meraih publisiti murahan. [yeahh, right...]

Sebaliknya dia menganggap kemunculannya itu adalah untuk mempelbagaikan bakatnya dalam bidang seni.

‘‘Saya tak mahu berterusan menjadi penyanyi sebaliknya saya ingin mencuba bidang lain khususnya teater kerana minat saya dalam bidang tersebut bermula sejak di bangku sekolah lagi,’’ jelasnya.

+++++++++++++++++++++++

Masya Allah... after reading this, tak putus² beristighfar.
How could she say that?
From what I understand, in her own point of view, using wig is OKAY.
It means you're covering your hair, the same like wearing a hijab/tudung.
Astaghfirullahalazim..

If that's the case, she should've worn the wig since the first day she decided to cover her hair.
That would've been easier and will definitely cause less confusion for those who decided to do the same.
Some people could've misunderstood the meaning of 'aurat' in Islam.
Masya Allah....
For me, if you want to wear a hijab, wear it nicely and with manner.

This is another example.
An example of those who think that tudung is simply a 'fashion'.
Astaghfirullahalazim...

Well, before I go off, again I want to apologize if this entry causes uneasiness to anyone.
I know this kind of 'sensitive issue' should be referred to an expert.
But comparing wigs to hijab is just too much for me.
It can simply means those 'Drag Queens' are wearing tudung lah all this while.
Sigh~

My goodness, Salima.. you're so STUPID!
Think before you say something.
Or better yet, don't think at all and just shut up.

Wassalam~
