Of Dream And Love

Bismillah, with the name of Allah. Ar-rahman Ar-Rahim, the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful.


Let us ponder some quotes first :

"If you have dream; dream big, dream bigger, dream biggest. But be specified. Dream something you can achieved"

and

"Your biggest competition is your own view of the future"


Ekhem. These two quotes were shared by Miss Zakiah during TESLians gathering weeks ago in TELTRAC Hall. So now let us talk about dream versus perspective. Let us :)


As time passes by, my perspective change little by little. To be exact, I do learn a lot - to be so called human being. A good human being. A better human being than yesterday, yestermonth or yesteryear perhaps.


Here, in Institut Pendidikan Guru, I am joining the Debate Club. Yet, I always complain to quit on being a debater as I begin to dislike this debate thingy. Perhaps, I force myself to dislike it (?). Debate do give me pain in certain ways - A LOT. There is always a bad side of me suddenly appear when I argue with others. Surely, I don't think that I am a good debater. Erghh.


Aaand, gamelan. Yes, I play gamelan instruments ahaaa. Sarun to be exact. I am learning to play Bonang but hell yes, it is bloody difficult! My classmate, Shalihin played Bonang for the first time weeks ago and amazingly, he master the skill just like a piece of cake. Raihan and I have this kind of suspicious feeling towards Shalihin due to his amazing skill, haha. I asked Abang Arief to teach me how to play gendang and he said that he'll asked his friend to teach me,later. Abang Arief, I keep on your promise seriously. Khadijah is in process of learning to play Gambang.


Badan Dakwah, Moral dan Disiplin (BADAMD) - Atikah and I are under Lajnah Ekonomi : we have this cooking thingy, open the stall etc. Sometimes we were late for the meeting or attending the activities. Dear Farhana Azhari, I am sorry for all my wrong doing. My new resolution : be a punctual person. Aja aja fighting!

"Kita bukan bekerja untuk Allah pada waktu lapang tetapi kita melapangkan waktu bekerja untuk Allah" Farhana Azhari via text message.


Debate is like a drug - being an addiction of mine since a long time ago.
Gamelan is my staple diet, my stress reliever - I love this art the most.
BADAMD - via this organization, I learn how to work systematically, to give and take, to be responsible.


Allahu, of dream and love...


Not to forget, I have a secret on being a positive thinker person everyday. It is because of my surrounding - the people involve. In detail, the hyperactive happy go lucky cheerful and gila-gilaaa classmates are the positive charge.

Muzakkir & Raihan

These are the completeness. If one ain't exist, it is the nothingness.


Moray - the best student in Physical Education. Yes I admit you are the best Moray. Raihan and Patcey, the best combo of Ketua Unit and Penolong Ketua Unit hehee. Shalihin and Dayang who have never been fail to entertain us with their 'cousin relationship apa apa jaa lah'. Tan Hon Kian the all rounder man, has a chinese look, can speak Mandarin uuu Tan is great. You should consider the mix marriage, Tan, haha. Atikah, our Kak Long. Don't forget our salary Kak Long. Don't keep the kutipan cukai on yourself, hehs. Hana I love you saranghae. Cute Nana Yew is cute. Juju a.k.a Mimah a.k.a Siti Zhulaikha, I am sorry I can't be the shoulder as my shoulder is not that broad ngeee. Syahmi, do take a lot of notes' pictures as I am too lazy to jot down everything. Others, you are the best!


Guys,this is cliche but I do love all of you (treat me on my coming birthday haha)


Salam'alayk :)

My Shoes. Slippery Road.

Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullah.


I just finished my Learning Support class with Miss Amrien. It was an eye-opening session with her. She told us about her experience before becoming a lecturer. At first, she does not even think that she will involved in this teaching field. After SPM result, she got an offer to be a pharmacy student with a scholarship from JPA. At the same time, IPG also offer her to be a teacher trainee. She was interested to involve in so-you-called-pharmacy-field but her mother suggested her to go for IPG. And yes, she is our beloved lecturer now :)


Mine is almost the same. Mama and Abah asked me to attend IPG. Since I was a kid, I never thought that I will be a teacher. Not even once. During primary school, I want to be a journalist/novelist/writer. I adore A. Samad Said and Usman Awang the most. I participated in reciting poem, public speaking and writing essay. As Mama is a Bahasa Melayu teacher, I do think she influence me a lot. Besides, Abah always bring me to accompany him reciting poem around Kuantan area. Abah is really great in reciting poem. To be truth, Abah is a romantic man (I read Mama and Abah's love letters. Mama still save them. Ahem)


As I grew up, I changed my ambition - to be a lawyer. Being a secondary school student, I actively involved in Public Speaking and Debate. I switched from a Science student to an Art student during form five because I wanted to learn more about 'Kesusasteraan Melayu' and 'Pendidikan Seni Visual'. As my previous school, SHAKS does not have these art subject, I asked to move to other school near my house, SMK Bukit Rangin. Yes, my decision might be crazy but yaww I manage to get an excellent result, alhamdulillah :)


SHAKS Debate Team. Team mate,I miss us :)

After SPM, I joined usrah IKRAM with my friends. Via usrah, my perspective and the way I justify something changed a bit. Again, I changed my ambition - to be a TV broadcaster. I am fascinated with the concept of how mass media can persuade people - the way we think, the way we act and behave. If I was a TV broadcaster, I want to spread Islam through my job. I want others to realize how beautiful Islam is.


On May 2011, I got an offer from UiTM Shah Alam for Foundation in Law and Foundation in TESL from IPG. I confidently wanted to go to UiTM. Through Foundation in Law, I might get to pursue the next level of my study in MassCom. Days passed, Mama asked me to declined the offer from UiTM Shah Alam. I cried. I do cried. I don't want to go to IPG.


So and so, I am here, a teacher trainee of Teaching English as Second Language. My road is still slippery. For the time being, I enjoy my life as a teacher trainee because of Mama and Abah. Because of my adorable classmates and other students here. And above of all, because I believe that Allah's plan is the best.


إِنَّا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقْنَاهُ بِقَدَرٍ
Indeed, all things We created with predestination.
(54:49)


Please don't judge me just because I am not willingly to involve in this teaching field at first, this is my shoes. You don't fit in it. But please support me, I need that the most, dear.


Dear classmates a.k.a Barneys,
I love all of you. I do. Let us create more great memories, lovelies :)
