AL-FATIHAH.

Got a call from Abah this morning.
Mok Long passed away last night.

Mok Long is my Grandma's eldest sister.
The last time I saw her was last Monday, when I visited her with my parents.
I had a strange feeling right before I went to Besut that day, that it would be my last time seeing her.. I just didn't know why I felt that way.
And looking at her condition that day, my heart ached.
She was no longer my Mok Long who always smile..who talks a lot.
She was just lying helplessly sick on the mattress without recognizing me or even my Ma.

Mok Long did recognize Abah, though.
Maybe because he was his own nephew.

If you read this, please sedekahkan al Fatihah to Allahyarham.
Thanks. :|

서울.. 나 간다!! [토요일 밤의, 서울로 가요!!]

Hehe.. thought I'd 'show off' my Hangeul a bit. ;)

The title means : 

"Seoul..here I come!! [I'm going to Seoul on Saturday night!!]"

A bit unsettled with my assignments, but I hope I'll do okay.

I'm actually on the verge of crying right now, but I've to be positive.

Have to look on the bright side.

And the bright side is, I'm FINALLY gonna be in SEOUL!!

tapai.

Assalamualaykum.

I promised K Ruby to post a picture of tapais I bought for open house that day.
I know this is wa--------------------y belated.
But I wanna show it anyway.
Especially to those that don't know how traditional tapais look like.
Wrapped in rubber leaves.




Aaaaahhh~
I feel like eating tapai now.
And FYI, the best way to enjoy the tapais is to put them in the refrigerator and then eat them cold.
Yummmmmmmmmmmmy!!

Wassalam.


P/S: Actually I couldn't find a topic to write,.. hence the tapais. He he he.

Aboon~

Assalamualaykum..

On July 15th, she flew to Sydney for her Masters.
I was a bit disappointed because I didn't get to talk to her right before she boarded her plane.
But Alhamdulillah, knowing that she wasn't by herself [Asni+Asib managed to send her off], I felt a bit relieved.

Babe..you take care okay?
Thank God we had our little 'date' with Shambie on the 14th.
That day I was not feeling that sad, it was only for a year, I kept telling myself that.
But when we said our last goodbyes then it hit me hard.

I won't be able to talk to you anytime I want anymore..
We won't be able to exchange stories about our 'crushes' like we always do.
No more hanging out during weekends when you came home.
And most importantly, Eid this year won't be the same without you, Aboon.

Wassalam.

p/s: I'm happy for you for that 'ring'! ehemmmmmm~

Maulidur Rasul

Assalamualaykum..

Yesterday our school had a Maulidur Rasul celebration.

(Am not too sure if the use of 'celebration' is appropriate. Any other suggestions of a verb?)

The celebration was quite late actually, as yesterday was already the last day of Rabiul Awal.
Praise be to Allah, everything went well even though the students were in chaos after the second slot ended sooner than it was supposed to be.

At approximately 8.30 a.m the kids berarak around the school while reciting the selawat.
They were in their best clothes and with banners and all.
I think they enjoyed everything that is not related to lessons in their classrooms.
Don't we all when we were in school??
Hehehehehe..



The second slot was a ceramah by an Ustaz from Pejabat Agama Daerah Setiu.
(I can't remember his name..)
He did a splendid job I must say, because all of the students were quiet and well-behaved throughout his ceramah.
Maybe he knew how to tackle the kids' attention.
He did include Q&A, quizzes and jokes in his ceramah.
So the students weren't bored with his speech.

Then the kids had a "khat" contest for Level 2 and colouring contest for Level 1.
I didn't get to watch the kids showing their Jawi-writing and colouring skills, as I was preparing for the last slot of the celebration.
So no pictures of them 'in action'.

I was in charge of the movie show yesterday.
The kids watched "Muhammad The Last Prophet" a.k.a "Muhammad Utusan Terakhir".
It was an animation actually, and frankly I think it was very interesting.
The dialogues are in Bahasa, therefore my students had no problems understanding the story or our beloved prophet, Muhammad (PBUH).
The only problem was their concentration.

I now realize that watching a 90 minutes movie/animation is a CHALLENGE for the students, especially the little ones.
But Alhamdulillah, some of the students did learn something from the story.
I wish Malaysians can come up with this kind of story in the future.
It's a good and easier way for our kids to learn about Islam.
(My students sangat lah malas datang kelas Fadhu Ain! So this somehow helps them learn what they missed in their Sirah class.)

Phewww, I sound like an Ustazah, right? =D
(Apa salahnya once in a while perasan..)
Till then, wassalam..~

Let's Get Patriotic!

Assalamualaykum..
When I first got the news that I was going to be posted here in Terengganu, SETIU to be exact, some of my friends got mixed up.
Some thought Setiu was in Perak! (WTH kan?? LOL. )
Well, truth be told I have this 'thing' against Terengganu, you know.
It's unexplainable, giving thought that my Abah was born in Terengganu.. [Jerteh..]
So that means, in a way, I'm half Terengganu kan? hehehehe..
But I'm loving it, as Setiu is not that far from Kelantan.

Well, actually today's post was merely to share this particular song called "Setiuku" that we had to sing during our Teacher's Day celebration yesterday.
Laugh all you may but it shows how much I 'love' LOVE this district in Terengganu called SETIU. (gulp!)

++++++++++

SETIUKU

Lahirnya di bumi Terengganu
Setiu daerah bongsu
Bangkit dalam deru
Bergerak menuju maju

Dari pantai sampai ke gunung
Nelayan petani mengukir senyum
Membina kemakmuran
Generasi wawasan

Setiuku oh Setiuku
Bangun pagi, bersama mentari
Bangun membangun perindustrian
Membangun pelancongan, pertanian, perikanan
Bangun mencapai awan

Setiuku oh Setiuku
Dari Merang sampai ke Bintang
Dari Fikri ke Seri Harapan
Bangun membangun desa
Bangun membangun kota
Membangun hidup cemerlang

Batu Rakit dan Permaisuri
Langkap serta juga Jabi
Bersatu dalam barisan
Bersatu dalam wawasan

Setiuku oh Setiuku
Daerah bongsu di bumi Terengganu
Setiu oh Setiuku
Daerahku menuju maju

+++++++++++

Patriotic, am I? Hehehehehe..
Even Pasir Mas/Tumpat, Seremban or Cheras don't have a song made especially for them.
So that simply means Setiu is special after all, kan?
*giggles*
Wassalam~

Mari, mari kawan...

Assalamualaykum..
Just thought of sharing this with everybody.
Something to cheer up our days.
Yours truly is having mid-term holidays, yet am @work at this moment for extra class.
And tomorrow I'll be attending a meeting for Setiausaha UPSR.. +sigh+
[so-called holidays lah..]
Okay, selamat mendengar!!



DENGAR INI CERITA!

Mari-mari kawan dengar ini cerita
Perempuan sangat mudah cemburu buta
Kalau suaminya sangat bergaya
Dia so jealous, tidak percaya

You know apa yang jadi pada suatu hari
I perang besar you see!
Tapi baik juga, sudah hilang bengkak
Benjolnya dekat sini you sudah tak nampak!

Di ofis saya ada s’orang secretary
Potongan badannya…
Namanya “Mary”
Merah bibirnya macam cherry!
Salah pandang macam Halle Berry…

Dia mengajak saya pergi makan angin
[You know, she wants to ‘romance’]
I tanya “Ke mana?”
She said “Kebun bunga”
Ini chance baik I said “Ok, Senorita!”

Tiba di sana si Mary mula-lah posing
She makes badan I sejuk
Terus I shivering
She said “Don’t be afraid my darling”
Saya jawab: “I like this kind of thing..”

Kita pun pergi duduk dekat satu bangku
And then she said “ I love you!”
So then what did I do? I think you pun tahu…
Sudah tentu I kiss the girl bertalu-talu!

Saya pulang ke rumah cukup senang hati
Tapi my wife ternampak lipstick on my pipi

*
Dia menerkam dan menggigit,
Saya tak malu, terus menjerit!

Perabot IKEA terbang melayang-layang
Menghentam my belakang!
I would like to tanya
Kalau you yang kena
Wife you juga cemburu jadi what will you do?

****************************************************
LISTEN TO THIS!

So guys, check this out.
You know how the girls get jealous?
And if their husbands are too good looking
Then they’re… SO jealous!

Y’know what happened to me the other day?
World War III dudes.
Good thing the bump’s gone down
It was huge, but you can’t see it now.

See at work I got this secretary
Her stats…
Her name is ‘Mary’
Lips a shade of MAC Cherry
At a glance? Halle Berry

She said she needed some air
I asked ‘Where?’
She said ‘The park’
I said ‘Cool’

When we got there, she worked it.
I got the chills, [yes - them multiplying]
She said ‘Don’t be afraid my darling’
I said: ‘Who, ME?’

So, we got to sittin’.
And then, we got to talkin’.
And then she said the L word.
Then I got to taste MAC Cherry ;-)

So I went home with a smile on my face
But the wife caught the lipstick on my cheek
*
She pounced. She bit.
Okay, I screamed like a girl
[She threw the couch at me man!]

So let me ask you, if you were in my shoes…what would you do?
