Back to A, B, C
Today was my first session at Cik Ju's house. I'm back to the very basic at the age of 25. Better late than never. I must say bad habits die hard, and this is not going to be as easy as I thought it would be. This is my challenge and no one is responsible for me but myself. So insyaAllah, I have to persevere.

LONGING
This song has been ringing in my head. I miss my friends. I miss you. To all, this song is for you. Do enjoy the meaningful lyrics.
TEMAN by Zubir Abdullah
Kehangatan mentari menyinari pagi
Derusan hujan mendingini panas
Saling mengiring saling melengkapi
Begitulah kudrat Illahi
Kehadiranmu teman bagaikan cahaya
Menerangi taman hatiku yang sepi
Jalin kasih mesra
Kurnia maha Esa
Merestui kemesraan ini
Andai bunga tiada mekar mewangi
Hancurlah harapan unggas menyepi
Andai dikau menghilang dan menyendiri
Ku terapung hilanglah panduan
Bak hujan di tengahari
Panas menduri bumi
Begitulah perasaan pabila bayangmu pun tiada
Keihklasan hatimu menghangatkan jiwa
Kelembutan suaramu menyejukkan bara
Jernih airmatamu lambang ketulusan
Menemaniku di kala kesepian
Teruslah menyinar mentari pagi
Teruslah menari hujan yang mendingin
Menghijau menyegar menyuburi bumi
Saling menjalin hubungan infiniti...

UP AND COMING
Temperature's up and down since Tuesday. And it just got worse after the 'open market session' on Tuesday. It seems that I was buying viruses from the stalls. Was sneezing all the way. So another MC will be submitted for tomorrow. I'm falling sick too often am I not? And it's Mak's birthday too. So good day to take the day off and cook and clean for the family too, or perhaps a family outing!!
I can forsee a very busy and hectic 2008. Firstly there's Odyssey of the Mind (OM) to think about. Was approached my Michelle to take it up this year and I will be pairing with Lena. At the moment I'm still not confident and clueless on how to solve the problem. It's language and literature related which is so not Me nor Lena! Wrong person, wrong person. After two days of coaching and briefing for the competition, my confidence level is nowhere higher but I'm pretty excited to see how this project will develop. I welcome any inputs from everyone definitely. So here's my question:
Problem 3: Classics... The Wonderful Muses
In Greek Mythology, muses were the sourse of inspiration for the creative works of artists and scientists. The team's problem is to create and present and original performance that includes one of the nine Greek muses. The Muse will inspire two people during the performance:
(1) a historical person who made an actual positive contribution to the world
(2) an original, team-created person who tries to make a positive controbution to the world.
The Muse will use the art form attributed to her during two "moments of inspiration", when all the characters in the scene, except the Muse, will "freeze". The team will also create two original works in that art form to include in the performance.
CHIM KAN?!! I really welcome any form of help and suggestion here.
So besides OM, I still have a few other BIG plans. Will not put them up first since it's yet to be confirmed. But please pray for me that all will go well ya. But if everything is really going to take place, then I will really need to manage my time wisely.

JIHADNYA SEORANG TEMAN
Dear friend, thank you for everything. It was your time of sorrow but you were there for me instead.
Di saat gersang jiwaku
Kau sirami muhasabah
Si saat tandus amalku
Kau suburkan qudwah
Di saat gugur semangatku
Kau bajai quwwah
Ukhuwah itu bukan pada indahnya pertemuan, tapi pada ingatan seseorang terhadap saudaranya di dalam doanya.
Ku harapkan mekar di hati
Agar persahabatan suci ini
Kan terus mantap
Menjadi syafaat
Terukir indah
Si pintu jannah
Imam Al Ghazali
I wish you all the best. InsyaAllah Allah akan memberkatimu dengan hadiah yang lebih indah. Teruskan perjuanganmu. Teruskan jihadmu. Stay strong like you've always been. Till we meet again. Sayang Dja!

THE NEXT CHALLENGE
The school year has officially come to an end. Bye bye my dear 3D, although there are some whom I'm all happy to lift my hands off you. Not that I've totally given up on you. It's just that I'm confident your next year form teachers are more capable of managing your antiques and better at handling your uniqueness. But of course I've witness many of you grow. You have grown into finer girls and boys. And most of all, I'm contented to see how all of you have bonded as a class and developed close friendships with some of your classmates.
So it has been officially announced that I'm taking P5J next year. I'm responsible for the foundation pupils. Frankly speaking, I was pretty much emotionless about the allocation until people started coming to me and asking me whether I'm ready to take it up. And then I thought perhaps I have underestimated the weight of this challenge. Not like I was initially already confident to take it up. I did have that fear but it just escalated after all the comments and questions from colleagues..
But InsyaAllah, I'm just praying that they are cooperative and well behaved. That's what is most important. Once I can manage them discipline wise, everything else should be much easier. And of course my teaching style would have to change. I would have to accomodate to their abilities and learning pace. Please grant me the extra patience and wisdom to handle them.
Well I'm just glad another year has come to an end and I can start everything anew again.
So the pupils are having their holidays soon and I just cant wait for us teachers to have our well deserved break. No more marking now is already a big relief.

INSTEAD
It would have been today. To see you all smiles. To see you clinching one of your ultimate goals... after all the hard work venturing across many continents to be able to save up enough.
I would have been under your void deck today... perhaps continually smiling at the both of you from afar. It would have been fun to disturb you posing up on the pelamin, with your tongkat and sarban :).
Astaghfirullah.... perhaps I'm talking too much about what could have been. But I just cant help wishing to see you on the dias.
If I am feeling such loss, I'm sure it's a greater test for her. But she has been really strong and I really admire her for that.
And everytime I see your mum, I can't help but cry too.
I miss seeing your number appearing on my hp.
And I remembered you sharing this song with me during one of our phone conversation. Now this song is for you.
Hijjaz (Munif Ahmad)
Kau Sahabat Kau Teman
Telah tiba saat waktu kau tinggalkan kami
Kerana takdir yang Maha Esa telah menetapkan
Sedih rasanya hati ini bila mngenangkan
Kau sahabatku kau teman sejati
Tulus ikhlasmu luhur budimu bagai tiada pengganti
Senyum tawamu juga katamu menghiburkan kami
Memori indah kita bersama terus bersemadi
Kau sahabatku kau teman sejati
Sudah ditakdirkan kau pergi dulu
Di saat kau masih diperlukanTuhan lebih menyayangi dirimu
Ku pasrah diatas kehendak yang Esa
Ya Allah,tempatkannya di tempat yang mulia
Tempat yang kau janjikan nikmat untuk hamba Mu
Sahabatku akan ku teruskan perjuangan ini
Walau ku tahu kau tiada di sisi
Perjuangan kita masih jauh beribu batu
Selagi roh masih di jasad hidup diteruskan
Sedih rasa hati ini mengenangkan dikau
Bagai semalam kau bersama kami
Moga amanlah dan bahagia dikau di sana
Setangkai doa juga Fatehah terus kukirimkan
Moga di sana kau bersama para solehin
Ku sahabatku kau teman sejati
