my not so good raya story
it felt like just yesterday we had been fasting and now it was time for raya, again.
raya celebration this year was way different from those we usually had every year. maybe due to inexistance of the elderlies, hence the difference. by not having them in the house, it actually add on to those so-called emptiness; both in our heart as much as the house itself. and it felt a bit awkward not to have any elderlies in the house, since we were so used with them tok and tokki being with us like forever, before.
seriously this raya was the worst for me, for there's no 'salam-cium-tangan-dengan-ma-pa-dan-tok' thingy and there's no photoshoot (so to speak) amongst us, after the prayers. guess what, it was even more happening when we went to our relatives and had a small celebration there. but i really did feel awkward since i was not that close with them.
my closest yet so far cousin, wa who had just married was for sure were with her husband, and it left us 5 siblings on our own. thank God she was there on the first hari raya though they had to rush back to kedah after that. if not boredom would be our very word to describe our raya.
at the end of the day, i guess i should be prepared to experience the same raya next year since everyone's getting married and will definitely go back to their in laws house. well, lani's joining the group next year and she's been telling us that she'll be celebrated raya at kedah next year. sigh -.-
p/s: no official raya photo this year, hence no photo uploaded :P

Ramadhan
nothing much to be talked about during this holy month. and i'm going back home EVERY WEEK (yes, you read it correct, EVERY WEEK mind you :D ) to break fast and had 'sahur' with dear family. am so excited about it, though i'm used to break fast and had sahur with them friends for 6 years! haha couldn't care much since i'm closer to home when i'm in langkawi compared to kuala lumpur :D
well as usual the children's behaviour made my day, and having to see them during fasting month was truly an experience for me. hehe, funnier that i thought it would be. that stort would come later, ya!
as for now, gotta go. got things to attend to. take care and have a blessed Ramadhan everyone :)

perpisahan terasing
Ku bersyukur adanya kamu ,
Biarlah kehilangan semua yang dimiliki di dunia,
Asal masih adanya kamu - Anuar Zain, Sedetik Lebih
semakin meningkat dewasa semakin banyak benda yang berubah, di sekelilingku. dan jauh di sudut hati aku tak berapa gemarkan semua perubahan ini.
mungkin kerana aku bukanlah seorang yang mudah untuk terima perubahan tambahan pula kalau ia melibatkan perihal hidup peribadi.
school stories
story 1
there was one time where i was so mad with the whole class since they forgot (or rather didn't finished my homework) to bring their book, and i ordered all of them to stand on their chair. suddenly a boy (the smallest in the class) came to me and said,
"teacher teacher tiba-tiba saya terjumpa buku saya dalam beg. tadi cari tak ada pun" with his innocent tone.
then i asked him,
"ooh magicnya buku awak ni. macam chipsmore pun ada, sekejap ada sekejap tak ada. habis tu homework teacher bagi semalam siap tak?"
"hehe terlupa nak buatlah teacher. semalam pi mengaji quran"
"lepas mengaji kan boleh buat?"
"lepas mengaji selalunya saya tengok tv pastu saya kena tidoq dah"
i don't have anything much to say afterwards.
i was teaching standard 2 (last class) about phonemes, sounds and such. as i was busy pronouncing all those
"teacher pasai apa bunyi dia pelik sangat?"
"teacher dalam bahasa bi ni memang a b c depa bunyi lain eh?"
while these boys were busy complaining and chit chatting about the
"pah"
"dah"
"mah"
"lah"
teacher mereka? cepuk dan tepuk dahi. ingat ni nama jiran kamu semua ke? adoi pengsanlah saya macam ni
it was my school sports day and i was in charged with all the so-called athletes and little participants for sukaneka. most of those who took part in sukaneka was from standard 1 and 2. as i was approaching them to take their names and line up, suddenly a boy came and gave his name.
"teacher nama saya tulis dak lagi?"
"nama kamu apa?"
"ahmad zahid, 2B"
"ok teacher dah tulis, now pergi beratur kat belakang kawan kamu tu" (with finger pointing to the boys' line)
while walking to his friend, sempat lagi dia cakap
"banyaknya benda putih-putih bintik-bintik atas muka teacher" (read: jerawat)
teacher illi: &(*%^$%#@^?!"
in my class and i'm sitting at teacher's desk, marking their books one by one with them standing besides me.
now it's this boy's turn, he went to me smiling and listening to my comments about his book.
after i'm done with him, he suddenly sai,
"teacher ada apa kat bawah mulut teacher yang warna putih tu?"
"haa? kat bawah mulut teacher? ada apa?"
"tu ada teacher kat bawah tu, dia macam warna putih camtu"
meraba-raba bawah mulut dan ,
"haih jerawat bawah mulut pun dia nak tegur" (dalam hati)
-.-
kids are still kids, very innocent. apa yang mereka nampak, itulah yang akan diberitahu kepada kita

melewati waktu itu
adalah susah untuk kita lewati kembali waktu-waktu yang telah pergi, semua memori itu hanya akan terlipat kemas dalam ingatan sahaja. maka sebab itu kita akan membuat sesuatu untuk buatkan kenangan itu kekal, salah satunya dengan menangkap gambar. ya, itulah cara yang paling mudah dan well, terkini seperti zaman sekarang.
namun perasaan yang mengiringi kenangan itu tak mungkin dapat di'letak'kan diatas foto. hanya akan tersimpan di sanubari.
bila rasa itu datang
oleh sebab aku rasa nak tulis kat sini sangat-sangat, jadi lahirlah entri ini :D
belakangan ni aku selalu terasa teringin nak menulis balik, seperti yang aku pernah buat masa dulu-dulu. dan aku rasa aku banyak in denial sekarang ni, kenapa? sebab sikap aku yang selalu suka bertangguh buatkan aku selalu 'menuduh' masa tak pernah cukup untuk aku walhal sebenarnya bukanlah sibuk manapun. aku masih lagi mampu untuk menulis barang satu atau dua bab, but being me, a real procrastinator i am.
aku masih lagi punyai sikap-sikap negatif yang aku rasa banyak merugikan diri aku sendiri. tak perlulah untuk aku senaraikan apakah sikap-sikap itu, cukuplah hanya kawan-kawan rapat dan keluarga terdekat sahaja yang 'telan' fakta itu. aku maklum bahawa bukanlah satu kesalahan jika aku ini tak sempurna, aku tahu semua orang tak sempurna, ALLAH sahaja :)
dan aku dalam proses untuk membuang semua sikap-sikap itu sikit demi sedikit. memang agak payah untuk terus buangnya sebab ia dah sebati dengan aku selama 25 tahun yang lepas tapi with a strong will, nothing is impossible.
banyak cerita langkawi yang aku nak kongsikan tapi mungkin di entri seterusnya pula.

why things can't be the same they used to be?
so problems aside and i went home with an empty heart, leaving all the workloads and problems i encountered in schools. and for the first time since i started my life here in langkawi, i feel peace , in my heart. really. and my mind was all set for holidays. no other things.
i guess life has taught me many things lately, especially. the whole different lessons from the one i got during my life as a student. well, maybe i'm becoming more and more matured then only i get to see other side of life, which i didn't favor at all. as what they said, life must go on, so yeah just go with the flow.
i've been praying very hard to Him the Almighty to get rid of my bad behaviour and my short-tempered, seriously. i didn't know why on earth nowadays i get emotional very easy, seriously and seriously. and I HATE THIS! i hate it when i'm emotional and involved others as well, especially my family. i want things to go back as normal again, the time when i just keep everything to myself and when i'm emotional, i still keep things to myself. coz its ok for me to get hurt rather than seeing others being hurt by me. its saddening and pathetic i know.
i hate myself now. capital SERIOUSLY!

loneliness
Language... has created the word "loneliness" to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word "solitude" to express the glory of being alone.

complicated
lagi satu, calling calling kawan2. but once in a blue moon aku akan call kawan2 bertanyakan khabar berita mereka yang terbaru. tapi untuk berbuat demikian secara selalu adalah bukan aku. entahlah, aku tak pernah tahu kenapa. kadang2 aku rasakan perangai aku ni boleh buatkan orang akan jauhi aku; well mungkin kerana mereka akan merasakan aku hanya mencari mereka ketika aku susah sahaja.
payah untuk aku menidakkan atau mengiyakan benda ini, sebab aku sungguh tidak bermaksud sedemikian. sama juga halnya dengan adik beradik aku. aku mengharapkan yang mereka akan fahami aku sememangnya begini. dan apabila diignore untuk beberapa waktu sehinggakan berita penting pun tidak kesampaian ke telingaku, i was taken aback. lesson learnt for me, i'm not sure for them.
tapi fahamilah bukan bermaksud aku tidak mengingati semua mereka-mereka ini, cumanya aku masih lagi dalam proses untuk adaptasi diri aku di tempat baru dan pekerjaan aku ini. belum cukup setahun atau 6 bulan pun lagi bergelar guru, aku dah merasakan penat yang teramat sangat setiap kali balik dari sekolah. itu belum termasuk dengan 'ME' time lagi dalam bilik. melepaskan semua tension dan stress di tempat kerja dengan menangis puas2 dalam bilik berseorangan. sudahnya, aku tanggung semua masalah aku sendiri. now tell me, you expect me to call everyone at home during maghrib prayers? waktu dimana semua orang sedang sibuk membersihkan badan masing-masing, tak kurang juga waktu orang sedang sibuk membuat apa2 sahaja pekerjaan yang dirasakan perlu.
lebih baik tak payah call kalau pengakhiran itu sudah aku sedia maklum awal2 lagi. daripada call untuk mengadu masalah dan releasekan tension, alih-alih silap haribulan bertambah-tambah tension aku. bukannya aku tak faham ma aku bagaimana. dia tak akan suka untuk diganggu waktu2 sebegitu dan bukanlah waktu yang sesuai untuk telefon orang juga semasa umat manusia lain sedang sibuk menyembah ALLAH yang Esa.
akhirnya masalah masih tetap masalah, dan aku lah yang menanggungnya seorang diriku. untuk telefon sekali lgi mengadu, well mungkin mood atau perasaan untuk bercerita itu sudah hilang. last2 hasrat untuk telefon itu terkubur begitu sahaja.
*life is soooo complicated nowadays!*

ups dan downs in life, well that would be me

a simple smile, a scream inside
There’s so much no one knows,
So much that no one sees,
About the way I feel inside, my thoughts and all my needs.
Maybe it’s the fact that they don’t look,
Or the fact that I don’t show,
Either way, there are things inside that no one seems to know.
I want to show the world,
I want everyone to see,
All the thoughts and ideas that flow inside of me.
Maybe you haven’t noticed,
Or maybe you didn’t dare,
To find out who I am, to show me that you care.
I’m screaming on the inside,
A smile is what you see,
But I’m not content with the person I seem to be.
There’s a different person on the inside,
That I can’t seem to show,
But maybe if you took the time, that person you could know.
**********************************************************
well its true you know. everything being written here sums up what i feel now.

just a quick post
it's not that i don't like being a teacher, there's always pros and cons in everything that we do, but it's just that i hate routines. well, teachers are doing routine mind you, and of course except for the student's conduct. they varies everyday, but just that. the rest, like i said before, routine.
enter school. wait for the bell to ring. enter class. exit class. enter class. invoved with co-curricular activities. involved with meetings(never ending) and the list goes on. this is what i call routine.
and i hate routine, serioulsy. coz i can already see what i need to do bla bla bla bla bla.
to be honest, i like challenges and something unexpected. and most importantly, they definitely not a routine. ha ha ha
when i was young, i used to dream of becoming a musician and played along in an orchestra (how cool was that if it's really true!)
or being a reporter or a journalist who have been assigned to report from foreign countries (wow! :D)
or involved with some relief mission or international aids to help those needy poeple all over the world (well, i still have this 'dream' or mission up to this hour :D) if i ever got the chance to be part of it, i will not hesitately grab it!
but that was then, and i guess it was only meant to dream of, not the reality mind me.
i don't think i'll be a teacher till the rest of my life, an educator yes but not teacher. like i mentioned earlier, it's not that i hate this noble job(read that carefully, NOBLE) but it doesn't seem to suits me, if i were to spend my whole life doing this teaching stuff.

Dan akan kekalah Zat Tuhanmu yang mempunyai Kebesaran dan Kemuliaan:
Maka yang mana satu di antara nikmat-nikmat Tuhan kamu, yang kamu hendak dustakan?
Sekalian makhluk yang ada di langit dan di bumi sentiasa berhajat dan memohon kepadaNya. Tiap-tiap masa Ia di dalam urusan (mencipta dan mentadbirkan makhluk-makhlukNya)!
Maka yang mana satu di antara nikmat-nikmat Tuhan kamu, yang kamu hendak dustakan)?

susahnya hidup ditempat orang
Tuesday, February 7, 2012
hidup adalah perjuangan
dia termenung sendiri
memikirkan perihal macam-macam
dia masih lagi buntu dengan segala yang terbentang di depan mata
namun harus dia akui semua yang terjadi adalah benar, takdir Maha Esa.
dirasakan hidup ini kadang-kadang tidak adil
tapi menurut neraca manakah pertimbangan itu?
dia tidak tahu.
dia hanya merasainya, dan berharap agar rasa itu menjauh
kerana dia tahu segalanya adalah benar, takdir Maha Kuasa.
kehadirannya ke tanah asing ini
terkadang dirasakan seperti mimpi, mimpi yang dia sendiri tidak tahu bila akan berakhir.
namun untuk bangun dari lena yang panjang itu dirasakan agak mustahil baginya,
sekurang-kurangnya pada waktu ini.
lalu dia harus terimanya dengan redha, menyimpan rasa di sudut hati.
dia termenung lagi
bukan memikirkan perjalanan hidup bertuah itu,
tetapi perjuangan menongkah arus masa hadapan yang masih kabur,
umpama kabus di siang hari.
dia buntu dengan apa yang terhidang di depannya,
sungguh dia perlukan sesuatu untuk membantunya.
dia lihat hidup manusia yang penuh dengan aturan,
aturan yang dibuat-buat dek mengejar kemahuan dunia zaman kini.
beginikah nasibnya nanti?
dia pasrah dan berserah.

great way to start the new year!
Alhamdulillah, this new year had brought me many good news, and i guess it's good to start something new with good spirits indeed :)
Alhamdulillah posting result was out last night, FINALLY! after almost 8 months waited for it, here comes the moment we've been waiting for soooooo long
and as expected i got kedah, i don't know how to describe the feeling really, but i guess i'm grateful indeed. to be honest, i didn't mind if i happened to get other places coz i somehow like challenges and new things, but since kedah it is, so i'll just acept whatever ALLAH had given to me :)
it was quite a shocked to see many of my cohort mates got johor, though they opted for another states. it's unexpected actually, but well, it's already out and official, so enough of complaints and whatnots.
so, it's time to set up new spirit and hopefully everything will be just fine!
*positive positive*

i love reading
nowadays i find myself a bit lazy to read. i don't know why, but i thought this might be because of my laziness and ignorance. there's still many books which i haven't read or even go thru yet i'm still getting myself new books everytime i walked in a bookstore!
so during my study time back in KL , i used to have this kind of craze over books that i didn't mind spending lots of money on books only. luckily i was given book allowance per semester which worth rm850, if not i would have to work somewhere to earn extra money for a living :D
me and my crazy-over-books friends would went to KLIBF and we'll spend hundreds of ringgits on books; on any kind of books which captured our heart. we wouldn't mind carrying those heavy books in our bags or hands as long as we got what we want!
well talking about reading, i guess i inherited this passion from my father, since he himself is an avid reader even until now. he would always have something to read be it any music magazine, or even cooking magazines, newspaper, travelogue mags, his monthly subscription of bank mags or even catalogues! we also have this tall huge built-in cabinet for books at the living room, and half of them books were his.
i always had this imagination of having a mini library in my house, and i guess i'll make it a reality once i am settled down with everything. it definitely would be great to own a library in our house!
apart from reading, i think i have developed my passion for writing too. and that's one of the reasons why i blog. though my writing level is not that good, but i'll keep on trying and writing as many as i could coz my lecturer used to tell me that "just write down anything you want to and keep on writing, don't worry too much on the idea coz it will come out later".
reading was like a brain therapy since i got to 'travel' to other countries as well as learn new things. i also got to know how different people think and react, and the rationales behind every single thing they do. it was a great feeling indeed.
and i guess my collection of books are my MOST treasured and precious things i ever have!

coretan ringkas 2011
2011 has ended officially; and it's already 3rd of january 2012.
well, 2011 had indeed left me with mixtures of memories-bitter, sweet, sad, happy etc.
macam yang selalu aku buat seperti tahun2 sebelum ni, so hari ni aku akan recall balik apa yang aku dah buat sepanjang 2011 tapi bezanya kali ini aku buatnya dengan agak ringkas; simple and sweet gitu :D
so, here goes...
January 2011
- struggle with studies since this was my final semester and final year in UM. to be honest, masa awal2 ni masih relax2 dan main2 lagi, sebab rasa macam otak dah agak tepu belajar selama 6 tahun! tapi i bet this was my best moment semasa belajar coz dapat lecturer yang sangat best+sporting+sempoi= mr gomez! seriously fell in love with the way he taught us all; sangat fatherly dan concern sampaikan semuanya tak sampai hati nak ponteng kelas dia. juga jatuh cinta denga subjek future studies sebab ia best; memaksa aku berfikir jauh ke hadapan dan berikan ruang untuk kita lihat sesuatu benda dari perspektif masing-masing. "there is no right and wrong answers" and "say what you have to say, no more no less" (prof. moses, 2011) treasure sangat waktu ni!
February 2011
- seperti biasa sibuk dengan studies lagi, tapi tak sesibuk semester yang lepas-lepas memandangkan jadual dan subjek yang diambil sangat sedikit, so in a way berikan peluang untuk aku dapat hari cuti yang banyak dari biasa :D sebab tu last semester ni aku selalu balik rumah di kedah nun, sampai mak ayah aku naik hairan tengok anak dia selalu sangat balik rumah, ibarat KL-SP macam SP-Alor Setar :D :D masa ni juga tengah seronok dengan aktiviti food hunting yang tak berkesudahan dengan housemates di sekitar KL...weeee...seronoknya!! :D :D
- starting bulan ni, bahang kesibukan sangat terasa, dengan due date assignments dan write ups, dan academic reading dan dinner dan trips sume2..memang exhausted dan sangat kalut time ni. tapi still ada masa nak enjoy2 dengan kawan-kawan dan housemates hehehe..dan sedar tak sedar dah hampir ke final studies dan final exam.
April 2011
- masa ni memang sangat sibuk, dengan assignments punya due date dan macam2 benda yang perlu difikirkan. oleh sebab aku merupakan salah seorang dinner committee jadi it's double the workloads! tapi aku tak kisah sebab aku suka bila sibuk macam ni..hehe :D
May 2011
- hampir ke final dan takde lagi assignment yang delay, tinggal nak submit assignment lasttt aje then MERDEKA! tapi tak lagi selagi tak habis finals lagi. tapi aku ambil 2 paper aje kali ni, agak relax tapi pada masa yang sama kena banyak sangat membaca! dinner last untuk cohort 4 di KGPA. it was a BLAST to all of us dan semuanya nampak glamer2 dengan baju2 yang cantik menarik tertarik kau memang da' bomb! tapi suasana agak sedih since it will be our very last time being together with everybody, lepas ni semua akan bawa haluan masing-masing.
bergambar bersama sebelum last paper final sem :)
kami; dinner KGPA :)
-secara officialnya aku dah selamat menghabiskan sesi pembelajaran aku selama 6 tahun! Alhamdulillah, syukur pada ALLAH yang merancang semuanya dengan terbaik :) masa ni sibuk berkemas-kemas untuk pindah rumah balik ke tempat masing-masing. kemas-kemas rumah sewa, bedak2 barang dalam rumah dan saat-saat akhir berjimba-jimba dengan kawan-kawan. tengok wayang dan makan-makan buat kali last beramai-ramai.seronok sangat! i'll surely miss those greatest moments! dan hampir-hampir nak balik ke rumah dapat berita kena hadiri taklimat kissm di maktab, thank Allah aku tak balik lagi so stay terus sampai hari yang
dimaksudkan.
July 2011
- masih lagi terkesan dengan peristiwa perpisahan dengan kawan2 jadi penuhlah news feed di fb dengan status dan poem kawan-kawan; semuanya pasal sahabat. dan sengketa lama juga berakhir dengan sendirinya..semua kembali jadi rapat seperti mana we used to be before this :) bergelar penganggur sepenuh masa dan bermulalah aktiviti rutin bila duduk di rumah- lepak, makan, tidur, tengok tv, baca novel etc. masa ni tengah eager dan excited nak masuk mengajar ke sekolah so semuanya tabah menunggu panggilan untuk posting
August 2011
-still di rumah, jobless dan sabar menunggu posting. pertengahan bulan ini harus ke KL untuk kursus KISSM di maktab, gembira sebab dapat jumpa kembali kawan-kawan yang ditinggalkan tak sampai beberapa bulan aje..so, it's get together time dan story mory..tak lupa untuk kembali jalan-jalan di kota KL bersama kawan-kawan :D balik aje dari KL terus ke cameron highlands ada gathering dengan kawan-kawan pa dan ma. berlaku satu peristiwa yang menunjukkan kekuasaan ALLAH, terima kasih ALLAH :)
September 2011
- masih lagi sabar menunggu posting, macam-macam berita dan rumours yang diterima dan didengari tapi semuanya tak boleh dipercayai langsung. keep on waiting and waiting berharap miracle akan berlaku tapi hampa kerana masanya belum tiba. dan tiba-tiba excited dengan convocation ceremony yang akan berlangsung tak lama lagi. pergi ke KL dengan kawan-kawan untuk collect robe, masih sempat berjalan-jalan di kota KL juge
October 2011
- convo was the major event for this month. got to meet cohort 4 friendss dan sibuk bergambar sampai tak ingat dunia, dan start cathing up with several people tentang current life whatnots. lepas convo terus menunggu posting yang tak kunjung tiba lagi. sedar tak sedar dah nak dekat dengan hari raya aidiladha.
November 2011
- balik kampung dan spend masa sangat lama disini, tak balik ke rumah sejak sebelum hari raya aidiladha lagi sebab ada plan best lepas raya :D :D masih lagi menunggu posting dan tiba-tiba dapat berita pasal temuduga SPP, dalam hati bersinar dengan cahaya sebab tak lama lagi akan posting; katanyalah. prepare untuk interview dan surat2 semua tu tapi pada masa yang sama aku akan ke singapore untuk hadiri wedding orang disana, it was a great and new experience indeed, for the fact that i've never got the chances to travel to other countries. agak jakun masa dapat passport dan separuh tak percaya juga..ngeeee :D :D end of month menghadiri interview spp, dan dapat jumpa sebahagian of my friends di JPN kedah, chit chatting sambil tukar2 gossips.
December 2011
-nothing much, still tunggu posting dan banyak jugak travel ke sana ke mari attend friend's wedding. ke perlis dan ke penang, untuk wedding pasangan yang sama :) dapat peluang jumpa kawan-kawan juga walaupun tak ramai, but the havoc dan 'kecoh-ness' was still there. pa juga secara officially bertukar ke kerteh and was no longer working with perwaja. mula berjinak-jinak dengan hobi baru- tonton cerita bersiri, be it korean, american, british, malay movies semua aku redah je.
dan awal January 2012, dapat berita yang aku lulus SPP dengan jayanya. so hanya menunggu panggilan dari JPN untuk posting di sekolah sahaja. Alhamdulillah, it was truly a great opening to start new year with!
so i guess that was it! semuanya bercampur aduk, it was a mixture of feelings indeed. walaupun kecewa dengan posting yang tak kunjung tiba tapi all in all, semua yang best best telah hapuskan benda itu :)
