No Title

Assalamualaikum,

How r u, guys? Lately I'm quite busying myself with so called assignment and revision for midterm test which be held around week 6. Hopefully, it will run smoothly. InsyaAllah. Yesterday, I'd an informal conversation with one Chinese boy who seat beside me in the library. He came to our table (me, Aimi and Azah) when he saw Aimi was alone waiting for me and Azah. He said he is a kampung boy and talk a bit about his village somewhere in Alor Setar. I'm quite impressed because it's rare nowadays people introduce himself from 'kampung'. Although they are really from 'kampung' but they might be ashamed to talk about their origin. For me, why we have to feel shy to introduce who really we are and where we come from. From there we may really know who will be our friend because of 'ikhlas berkawan' not according to our status. And one thing we should realized that all of us are from 'kampung'. Unless, some of them from aborigines.


He said youngsters nowadays are indulge themselves with so called gadget, networking, digital item or in other words with the modern technologies. Less of them are interested with our tradition. Malaysian tradition. Like main wau, gasing, panjat pokok kelapa, memancing, lari-lari tengah sawah and others. Permainan yang suatu masa dahulu nenek moyang kita pernah merasainya. Dan sebab itu, i thing kita juga perlu melaluinya untuk mengenal jati diri bangsa dan identiti kita. I'm not saying it's just for Malay but it's for all Malaysian. Orang Timur, Nusantara banyak keunikannya. Dan dengan keunikan yang kita ada, we should proud with our identiti yang tidak diciplak dari mana-mana identiti bangsa lain. Why we have proud to be others right?


If suatu masa dahulu Hang Tuah pernah berbangga dengan bangsa and tanah air kita and why don't we? Nothing impossible. And i'm not saying when kita kembali mengenal tradisi kita, kita akan jadi backwards, kolot. I'm not saying that. Kita tetap terus dengan aktiviti yang kita sedia ada. Belajar, bekerja and sebagainya. But it's really sayang if we never realized about our identiti. Dari mengenal identiti bangsa juga membuatkan kita terus berjaya. Sebab kita sedar siapa kita. Betapa susahnya nenek moyang kita nak bertapak dan memulakan segala-galanya seperti yang kita ada sekarang. Yang kita tahu sekarang adalah kemodenan, kecanggihan dan kemajuan. But we never ambil tahu how it was started right???

Yesterday evening, i took a nap around 5.15-6.30 pm after balik dari campus. I'd class in the morning and finished at 10am. Then, me, azah and lin had our breakfast at Plaza Siswa before did our revision in the library. After Zuhur prayer, we consult Mr. Hasbullah for our assignment and Alhamdulillah sir bagi pinjam 1 of his book for the referring. Then we all consult pulak Dr. Masum because of the same assignment. Around 4.30 baru sampai rumah. So, after Asar saya tidur kejap sbb letih and mengantuk sangat. But around 6pm dah kena bangun nak dinner dengan azah, lin, ina and aimi. Tapi 6.30 kut baru terjaga sebab lin datang nak simbah air kat saya.


Dia cakap susah gila nak kejutkan saya tidur and masa saya tidur tuh sempat pulak mengigau pasal something. Saya cakap something pasal kamera, nak tangkap gambar banyak-banyak and a bit about photographer. Hahaha....Ape lagi mmg gelak besar gaklah bila lin bagitahu. And i know ni semua sebab apa. Sebab saya dah t'impressed dgn gamabar-gambar yang ui snap. Memang smart gila and so professional. Rasa nak jadi macam dia. Tapi saya tahu mama mesti tak bagi. But from now saya dah bercita-cita nak beli DSLR camera. Nikon D90. Dah dalam wish list. Tapi tak tahulah lah bila boleh dapat. Huhu :[ Suatu masa nanti. Nothing impossible. :D


Sekarang nih duk ulit2 digital camera olympus 7.1 megapixels saya. But, i know semuanya mesti bermula dari bawah. So, bila snap gambar saya akan guna manually . Dah tak guna portrait. In certain circumstances je. Nak mahirkan diri dalam teknik snap2 gambar, blurring background and others. Start from below and minat tuh penting. Kalau guna DSLR tapi tak tahu nak snap gambar yang smart2 pun nanti membazir duit pulak. hehe...=p Oklah, saya rasa takat ni je nak membebel. Nak breakfast ok. C u. Chow :-)

p/s: Gambar di atas adalah dari UI. Bukan saya ;p
p/s/s: Saya ada terima jemputan dinner di Everly Ballroom, Everly Resort Hotel, Jalan Tanjung Kling Melaka but rasa mcm xboleh pegi. Sebab dah beli tiket balik raya jumaat pukul 2. Haish, apelah dorang ni. Inform last minute. Nak pegi ke x??? ;(

~ jumaat ~
8.36 a.m

Tahniah My Lil Cuties....!

Selamat pagi kanak-kanak sekalian,

Sekarang kita bersiaran secara lansung dari program Tom Tom Bak yang dipengacarakan khas oleh Aunty Syamimi & pengacara undangan yang masih dalam tempoh praktikal iaitu Uncle Aznil di siaran mana lagi, kalau bukan di @stro Prima. Bagi ibu2, mama2, ayah2 dan papa2 di luar sana jangan gusar jangan risau kerana anak anda akan selamat di bawah jagaan kami. (boleh caye ke nih? =p).

Huhu...Dah la tuh. Malas nak makan kerepek banyak-banyak. Kita terus kepada tujuan asal posting kali ini. Sebenarnya saya dah agak terlambat untuk membuat ucapan tahniah secara rasmi & esklusif kepada kanak-kanak Ribena yang menjadi model sambilan untuk pakaian Anakku. Eh, silap...Bukan model tetapi mereka adalah adik & sepupu2 saya.

~ AdiK ~

Akak (huh...! nampak macam tualah plak) nak ucapkan tahniah dekat adik atas kejayaan dalam peperiksaan UPSR baru-baru ini iaitu dengan mendapat 4A 1B. Tak payah sedih-sedih untuk subjek yang lagi satu tuh. Tak payah ingat dah. Kalau main boling pun selalunya bukan dapat strike. So, samalah macam exam nih. Apa yang kita nak tak semestinya absolute fulfill okies! Lagi satu akak rasa subjek tuh pun dah tak ingat kat adik (motif??? xble bg perangsang tol akak nih). Heheh... :D Lepas ni buat betul-betul untuk exam yang akan datang. Kiranya UPSR ini bukan garisan penamat tapi merupakan starting untuk 'trek' kejayaan. Actually, I don't have any idea to give something for your present. It might be Hannah Montana stuff yang adik gila-gilakan sangat. Tapi according to my ketebalan wallet, perhaps i will buy u mechanical pencil yang ada muka Miley Cyrus tuh. Bukan senang nak dapat tuh cik oii... Do your best next time ya! Jangan asek main kucing je. Rimas dah kucen tuh tengok adik. (kata adik, kakak pun sama) Huhu =p

~ Haish budak2 zaman la nih ~

~ Kakak n Adik ~

~ Adlina Marsya ~

Yang duduk main gitar ni pulak sepupu saya. Sebaya dengan adik saya. Dulu duk main masak-masak sama2, main Barbie Doll sama-sama dan sekarang ni pe lagi gossip girl sama-sama. Main make up sama-sama. Duk masuk lagu kat iPod orang nih. Duk transfer lagu kat MP4 yang si adik. Budak-budak sekarang. Tak macam saya dulu-dulu. Main congkak. Main batu seremban (pembohong no 1 negara ;p). Heheh.... Ingat lagi masa-masa kecik-kecik kuaci saya tanya kat Marsya. "Sya nak jadi pe nnt?". Dia cakap nak jadi Dolphine Trainer. Pelik gakla M'sia mana nak cari Dolphine. Dolphine yang pengurut Gintell tu adelah kan. Dalam family saya mmg ramai kot Animal Lovers ni. Nak jugak sangkut paut dgn animal life. Tapi sekarang nasib baik dia dah ubah ambition. Nak jadi veterinar pulak. Sama macam adik saya. Everything mesti nak relate dengan animal je dorang nih. Pergi Sunway petting zoo sama-sama. Nak main tukar-tukar kucing. Pape jelah. Untung gak kenkadang jadi pet yang bertuankan dorang nih.

~ Ni for Marsya. Amiklah ;p ~

Huhu... Banyak pulak k.Mimi menceceh ye. Oklah... Kak Mimi nak ucapkan tahniah dekat Marsya sebab dapat 5A aritu for UPSR. Well done girl. And a big congratulation juga sebab tak jadi masuk Sek Sukan Bukit Jalil tuh. K.Mimi rasa tak kemana pun jadinya. Sibuk dengan sport nnt study tinggal. Habis2 nanti amik Sport Science kat U and jadi instructor. Oklah pasni k.Mimi nak request mainkan lagu Bubly dari Colbie Calliat sebagai hadiah Marsya dapat 5A arituh. [terbalikla pulak] Jangan lupa ! =p Huhu...

~ Azalea Mariah ~

Yang dekat atas tuh Kuda. Nama dia Moneda a.k.a Mana Ada [tu mmg dah sah2 la kan]. Hehe... Ni lagi sorang sepupu yang saya nak ucapkan tahniah. Bulan ni bulan tahniah kot. Bulan depan bulan apa tak tau lagi. Bulan depan saya rasa bulan bertunang sebab ada 3 orang sepupu saya akan bertunang. Tak tahu nak pegi mana satu. Kalau sponsor duit tambang, makan, minum saya pergilah semuanya. Hahaha... [Keji punya sepupu]. Kueskueskues....! Ok, berbalik kepada perkara utama. Yang nih tahniah bukan sebab UPSR ke, PMR, MidTerm Test or Final Test. K.Mimi nak ucapkan tahniah kat adik sebab menang championship untuk tournament kuda baru-baru ni. Sama tarikh saya pergi T'ganu. Tapi, masa tuh k.Mimi tak datang tengok adik sebab takut ganggu concentration adik. Nama tournament tuh Kuda Sokmo. She involved in Dressage category. Firstly and secondly dapat no 5 among the other contestant and finally the winner for the championship. Tahniah and tahniah girl. K.Mimi tau adik mmg enthusiastic and determine in this arena and u deserved for private sponsored from STC equestrian club when u won this championship. [sekali lagi family saya mmg xboleh lari dari animal life]. Hehe :) Last but not least, next time kalau jumpa lagi Qabil Ambak, kata k.Mimi kirim salam. (motif??? hahaha).

~ "Meh Moneda kita pegi gosok gigi dulu" ~

Oklah dah cukup kot tahniah2 nih. Sampai disni sahaja rancangan Tom2 Bak kita. Jumpa lagi di masa akan datang. Di waktu yang sama dan hari yang sama. Bye adik2...! (lari sebelum kena serbu dek bebudak nih) hir3... ;p

p/s: t'tinggal satu. Tahniah kepada kucen yang bernama Wawa (kucen saya la tuh!) kerana telah selamat melahirkan 4 ekor anak yang tak comel sebab mewarisi wajah bapaknya yang langsung tak pernah kena grooming (kucen jalanan). Nak cari pasni tolonglah demand sikit ey! Yang ensem dan macho! ;)

Surat CInta buat 'UNKNOWN'

Assalamualaikum,

Pertama sekali saya ucapkan syabas buat 'unknown' kerana telah berjaya membuatkan saya untuk menulis satu posting khas buat anda. Terima kasih juga kerana sudi membaca blog saya yang seperti 'copy' and 'paste' sahaja. Ya, pada mulanya saya mengaku yang saya agak emosi membaca komen anda di shoutbox sebelah kiri itu. Terasa ingin memadam apa yang telah anda tulis kerana ianya seperti ingin mencemarkan 'teratak' saya ini dan akhirnya membawa kepada zina mata. Tetapi apabila saya teringatkan mengenai hak kebebasan bersuara, saya padam terus niat itu. Anda bebas bersuara dan juga termasuk semua yang berada di luar sana. Tulislah apa yang anda mahukan. Saya cuba terima. Mungkin ada hikmah buat saya. Walaupun perit untuk diterima, tetapi mungkin itu adalah madu buat saya pada akan datang. Saya tidak mahu trace anda walaupun itu suatu perkara mudah buat saya. Anda mungkin rakan sekelas saya. Mungkin juga pernah menjadi orang yang rapat dengan saya. Dan mungkin orang yang saya selalu sapa di luar sana. Malah tidak mustahil sekiranya anda ini mungkin kawan yang saya kenal sejak di bangku sekolah. Segalanya mungkin. Saya tidak mahu bermain dengan spekulasi yang bakal mendatangkan fitnah yang buruk padahnya. Salah satu sebab yang utama, saya tidak mahu mewujudkan rasa benci dalam diri apabila saya tahu siapa anda. Mungkin hubungan yang kita sedia ada bakal terputus. Saya kira, jika anda masih tidak puas hati dengan saya jumpalah saya dan berterus-terang. Saya tidak marah. Tetapi saya mahu tahu apa salah yang telah saya lakukan pada anda. Lagi satu, jika ingin memberi sebarang komen, tidak perlu segan untuk meletakkan nama anda. Kesian ibu bapa anda mencari nama yang baik buat anda. Saya rasa itu sahaja yang dapat saya nukilkan. Terima kasih lagi kerana sudi singgah. :)

Islam meneduhkan,
Islam memaafkan,
kerja Tuhan siapa yang tahu?
Atas dasar kemanusiaan,
saya hulurkan salam perdamaian.

wallahualam.

The Evolution of The Malaysian Judicial System

Hi everyone,

First and foremost, I'm sorry for taking quite a long time to share with all of u about what i got from the Seminar that I attended on 23rd August 2008 which conducted by MMU Law Society . I had to make some reading and a bit of research to make me really understand the objectives of the seminar. There were 3 speakers involved which were Prof. Dr. Shad Saleem Faruqi, The law Lecturer at UiTM who talked about "Contributions of the Judiciary to Malaysian Constitutional Law" while Prof. Dr. Abdul Aziz Bari is one of the Law Lecturer who is quite a well-known name to law student and legal practicer outside there because he is also a law books writer especially in constitutionals law . He discussed about "The Changing Role of the Judiciary". Last but not least, Dr. Ahmad Masum who is one of our beloved Consti. Lecturer in MMU talked about "Future of the Judiciary". YB Senator Datuk Zaid Ibrahim was also invited to make a keynote address for the "Visions on Judicial Reform".

Datuk Zaid Ibrahim

Full Text of the speech delivered by Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Zaid Ibrahim at the Malaysia Multimedia University yesterday.

I MUST apologise for saying upfront that I will not be so bold as to declare that since we have the three arms of government -- the legislative, the executive and the judiciary -- therefore, we practise the separation of powers doctrine.

Separation of powers is desirable only if we believe that power corrupts, and that a concentration of power in the hands of a few increases the risk of abuse. Hence, the need to provide for checks and balances where power is concerned.

At the same time, many people believe that power need not be diluted since one needs a strong central power to implement policies considered to be of national interest. There is a large group of people who subscribe to this view.

I presume since you are all interested and well versed in the law, so you belong to the category of people who subscribe to the need for separation of powers in the political system of the country.

I, too, share this view, but for Malaysia to be truly on the road to democracy and the rule of law, we need many more people to believe and to work towards the implementation of this principle.

Before we discuss about the judiciary and all the changes we want to see happen in this institution, let us talk about the law first.

Without laws to apply, of what use do we have of the judiciary? Many people say they want a government of laws but they do not appreciate what it means. A government which is mandated by the people's will must be ruled and governed by the rule of law.

But laws must be applied to all and sundry with no exceptions, otherwise there is no rule of law, instead we have an arbitrary rule dictated by whims and fancies of some.

Laws and rules must be clear, otherwise arbitrariness sets in the application of the rules.

Let's say we want to organise a concert featuring Indonesian dangdut singer Inul. We have to apply to an authority and comply with the rules. But the rules have to be clear, otherwise some people will present vague terms like morals and sopan, which are subjective and difficult to define, as reasons for rejecting the application.

Once the approval is given, the government should not review its decision just because some Pas members threaten to demonstrate. If we relent, then the government will be vulnerable to mobs who will protest whenever they do not approve of an activity or concert or consider it inappropriate. Then we will have mob rule, and not rule of law.

If we believe in the rule of law, then we also must understand that we must be prepared to defend the principles established under our laws.

When the Bar Council organised a conference to discuss the implication of conflicts of laws in marriage and divorce where one spouse converts to Islam, they were bombarded with threats and physical abuse.

Where does the law of our country sit on this issue? Is the organisation of such a forum which covers such topics a violation of the law?

If so, then the council should be taken to task and action should be taken against its officers. But if what they did was undesirable or stupid, or lacking in good judgment, then advice would be sufficient.

But if what they did was within the confines of the law, then in the ideal world the law would be enforced to defend their rights.

If the police were seen to be defending those who were out to stop a legal and legitimate activity or discussion, then do we uphold the law by doing so?

Racial abuses, inflammatory statements that Islam was under attack and the climate of fear that would be created were raised in defence of their actions.

Again, they succeeded in stopping the forum. Again, the mob was successful, because the police once again decided that the Bar was the culprit. So what is the future of the rule of law in this country?

For your information, action against the council's forum is not necessary because the government has drawn up laws to address the issues raised when one party to a civil marriage embraces Islam.

A myriad of jurisdictional and conflict of laws issues have been examined. Laws to address the issue of custody, maintenance and other relief arising of that marriage have also been drafted: amendment to the Law Reform Marriage and Divorce Act 1976, the amendment to Islamic Family Law Wilayah Persekutuan 1984, and the Administration of Islamic Law Wilayah Persekutuan 1993.

These amendments will hopefully resolve the issue of divorce, custody and maintenance where one spouse has converted.

These laws are in the final stages of review. These amendments will hopefully resolve the issue of divorce, custody and maintenance where one spouse has converted.

The attorney-general has done a marvellous job chairing a special committee comprising officers from Jakim, civil lawyers, syariah lawyers, representatives of muftis, Islamic scholars and law professors and representatives of other religious faiths and political parties.

These compromises and discussions between groups took more than a year before agreement was reached.

This episode goes to show that Malaysians of all faiths can sit down and discuss issues and find solutions to problems of the people. It shows that Islam, if left to the real scholars and experts, has the flexibility and capacity to find solutions to all problems.

The tragedy of our time is that Islam has more often been used by politicians and rabble rousers.

We do not need self-declared champions of Islam to storm meeting halls and disrupt proceedings; or to increase the level of hatred among races . These people are not capable of understanding and empathising with the real problems the people are confronted with.

So they have no business declaring that they were demonstrating in and defending God's name. A true believer must be prepared to find solutions to people's problems and fight for justice for all. A good Muslim should know that.

Now about the courts. Judicial reform means that justice must be available freely and easily to the people. The court system must facilitate that. People should not be asked to wait many years to get justice. We all know that "justice delayed is justice denied".

More importantly for me, judicial reform means that the judiciary must be independent. It must be insulated from pressures, from directives and people cannot and should not be allowed to bring their influence to bear on the courts.

Whoever sits on the bench must be of unquestioned integrity and ability. The selection process of judicial appointees must be transparent, systematic and open.

Restoring confidence in the judiciary is one of my priorities. It not only sounds good; it is good for the country in many tangible ways. Studies all over the world have shown that people do not invest in a country where they do not have faith or trust in the legal system.

Hence, it makes business sense to have a credible judicial system. We have to convince people that a system that operates under a shroud of secrecy is not good for risk management and optimum operations of the economy, and for the government itself.

More importantly, we need a mind-set change. Young people like you must not perceive judicial reform and judicial change as undermining some cherished political foundation. There are some people who perceive the change as limiting their powers and these people always fear that they will be made worse off by the change.

Some are made to feel that the more opaque the system, the more secure they feel. Therefore, they feel threatened when we say we want openness and processes driven by transparency.

Judicial reform and law reform are intertwined. The courts, as an institution in the pursuit of justice, does not operate alone. If we want to reform the law and the justice system, we also need to reform the police and the office of the attorney-general.

How the police exercise their powers of investigation; how the public prosecutor makes his decisions to prosecute or not to prosecute; how transparent and accountable the office of the public prosecutor or attorney-general is; what benchmarks are set by the police and the A-G are all processes which are part of the justice system.

The reforms I have in mind will include reforming the Attorney-General's Chambers.

The police are the mother of law enforcement and the exercise of their enforcement powers must be fair, professional and in accordance with the dictates of the law.

Any negative perception must be removed. Public complaints must be handled properly, devoid of any semblance of abuse of power.

The setting up of a commission has been suggested by the Royal Commission chaired by Tun Mohamed Dzaiddin Abdullah.

The prime minister has also agreed that a special complaints commission be established and it is one of the things in the pipeline for law reform.

---------------------------

Legal practicer to be ~ InsyaAllah

I'm going to summarize it at all according to what I've done for this and a little from my own opinion.

The judiciary occupies a central place in the constitutional set up of the land. Judges are essential part of the system of checks and balances that is put in place to prevent abuse of power. Take note that before the judicial intervention in what had happened towards the case of Tun Salleh Abas, judicial powers are vested in the hands of the Judiciary. But, after the incident the judicial power are gone to the hands of Parliament. The matter is the courts should not be seen as a mouth-piece of the executive. The judiciary must be secure from undue influence from both the public and private sectors. Judges must be autonomous in the performance of their judicial function. The important thing what I'd addressed just now that there should be a high degree of public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary. So, judiciary MUST hold the judicial power itself by not being interrupt from other branches.

In Malaysia, we do practiced the principle of Separation of Power between the 3 branches. But, we followed the liberal sense which mean that let there be overlaps in function and membership between the legislature, the executive and the judiciary but on condition that there should be checks and balances between the institutions. Montesquieu had claimed that if all three powers were held by the same person, then there would be the dictatorship and arbitrary rule would prevail. If this doctrine is strictly followed, it means that no one of three branches of gov. can participate in any functions of the others or belong to the others.

To maintain the sovereignty of our Judiciary, we must follow the separation of power in strict sense. There is a clear demarcation of functions between the legislature, the executive and the judiciary in order non-should have excessive power and there should be in place a system of checks and balances between the institutions. According to the approach by Montesquieu, three organs of the governments which includes legislative, judiciary and executive - each should have a discrete and defined area of power and there should be a clear demarcation of functions between them. By having the strict sense of SOP, we can avoid absolutism in power by preventing monopoly of powers and functions within the 3 organs of the state other than reduce the potential for the abuse of governmental power by avoiding its concentration in the single person or institution. Furthermore, it is to avoid concentration of power in the hands of executive. Lord Acton claimed that "Absolute Power Corrupt Absolutely". Thus, there must be checks and balances in place to prevent the abuse of power. The Fundamental Purpose of the SOP is to avoid the abuse of power as i did mentioned above and the other one is to protect the rights and liberties of citizens.

I will touch later about checks and balances and our judicial reform. Nak tidur.... =p ngantuk nih!

p/s: Tahniah Datuk Ghauth. Walaupun kejap je kenal Prof. Ghauth ni tapi mmg best. Ada satu perkara tak boleh lupa. Ingat sampai sekarang cerita yang Prof bawak masa orientation dulu. Dari mata terpejam terus fresh bila dgr cite tu. Sape tahu diam sudey. Keskeskes.... :D

Start of New Sem

In the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful


Hai everyone. :) It's quite a heaty day in Melaka now and make me exhausted even though i'm not really packed yet of too many work to do and still no need to attend the Tutorial classes on the 1st week. I love my life for the last semester because I'd achieved what I was targeted. Alhamdulillah no 'dur thani' or supp paper that i have to re-seat. I was free from the annoying people during that time that gave credits to my concentration of my studies.

I take 2 subjects for this semester and i think I'd already fall in love with them. Both are related to Islam which are Islamic Constitutional Law and Evidence & Procedure in Syariah Court. Dr. Masum was the one who thought Constitutional Law 1 for last sem will again teach us for the Islamic Consti subject. The 2nd subject will be teach by woman lecturer that I'm not remember her name for the meantime. (",)

I'd already built my study plan and i have to follow the flow to achieve my target. I need to be more discipline person after this. Yes, i admit that i did involved in so many 'perkara yang x bepaedah' and love to 'membuang masa' before this. But, i assumed those thing make me matured enough. I knew it was hikmah to me. From worse to good. From looser to better. And i want to be the best not on the eyes of people but on the eyes of Allah. Different people might have different perception. The principle that make me realized the truth of life.

I did registered for 4 subjects in this semester at first. But, when i kept thinking of the consequences, i drop 2 subjects which were Malaysian Studies and Intro to Cyberpreneurship. I don't want to go through the hectic time again, so it make me to do the decision. Just take 2 subjects in order to achieved what was i targeted at first. I hope i can achieved as i wish, InsyaAllah and please pray for me also. (*_*). Remind me if i forget ok!

There are only 3 days of classes per week but it doesn't mean that i can 'bersenang-lenang' to do anything. I only have classes on Monday which is 1.00 p.m to 3.oo p.m lecture and also 5.00 p.m to 7.00 p.m. Then, on Tuesday i have classes at 8.00- 10.00 a.m and 2.00-4.oo in the noon which is Tutorial while on Tthursday 8.00-10.00 a.m and 4.00-6.00 p.m. I have no time to go to gym according to my time table. But, it's ok to me because I can jog during weekend and I'd already brought the Squash racket. I need to have some exercise at least once a week to release my stress on study or anything and if not it might burst my mind.

Since i was entered my class for this sem, i realized that there are so many task i have to complete and i have to make it proper as i can. That's my promise to myself. I don't want to behave like 'melepas batuk di tangga' by giving the effect to my assignment-mates. I only have 7 weeks plus minus 'makan & tidur' to finish my 2nd sem. So, i have to fight for it! Biiznillah :)

.:Nice Hols in Terengganu and Cherating:.

Sudah lama rasanya saya tak update blog ni. Bukan apa, saja nak merehatkan diri dari segala macam aktiviti. Selepas melalui keadaan yang agak hectic pada sem lepas, saya mengambil langkah untuk mendapatkan rehat yang secukupnya. Rehat yang secukupnya bukan bermakna hanya makan dan tidur, itu seperti ingin menambahkan berat badan tetapi mendapatkan suatu kedamaian yang agak sukar didapati di Emerald Park, BBU ini. Student's residential memang kadang-kadang membuatkan saya naik angin (bukan keluar angin). Bayangkan tiba-tiba orang menjerit ketika kita sedang khsuyuk menghafal segala macam nota yang memerlukan kesabaran dan kesunyian. Dan bayangkan lagi kalau-kalau ada orang yang main game pasang volume kuat-kuat masa kita tidur. Sungguh menyakitkan hati.

Jadinya, 27th October lepas saya & family pergi holiday di Kuala Terengganu. Kami tidur 2 malam di Hotel Seri Malaysia. Agak pelik juga apabila kami dihidangkan dengan Nasi Dagang dan Mee Kari sebagai sarapan. Tetapi, setelah mencubanya memang molek sungguh! Macam biasa kalau ke KT tidak sah kalau tidak membeli-belah di Pasar Payang. Tempat dimana makcik-makcik yang menjual memakai barangan kemas seperti tidak takut diragut. Hairan jugak pada mulanya. Tetapi apa yang saya dapat observed, Terengganu merupakan antara negeri dalam M'sia yang kurang pendatang asing. Memang saya tak jumpa langsung. Tak tahulah kalau-kalau mereka berloghat T'ganu, saya tak dapat bezakan.


Satu saya salute dengan orang Terengganu ini adalah mereka sangat membudayakan ilmu. Dimana sahaja terpampang kata-kata semangat untuk belajar. Biarpun mata pencarian mereka lebih kepada hasil laut tetapi cara hidup mereka sangat indah. Pengalaman 3 hari saya disana mengakuinya. Lebih dari pukul 9.30 malam kedai dan kompleks akan ditutup. Jalan raya pula menjadi lengang. Tiada anak-anak muda berpeleseran di kompleks-kompleks atau menghabiskan masa di kedai kopi atau gazebo sebagainya. Starbucks dan Coffee Bean juga saya tak jumpa.

~ Rantau Petronas [Paka] ~

Terengganu memang sinonim dengan ke-Islamikannya. Kalau tidak masakan terpampang papan tanda di jalanan cara untuk kanak-kanak menghafaz Quran dengan cepat. Program tilawah juga digembar-gemburkan. Tidak seperti di sesetengah tempat. Hiburan yang diutamakan. Dan hedonisme yang dibudayakan. Itulah kelebihan Terengganu. Atas sebab itu mereka dianugerahkan dengan minyak. Itu hipotesis yang bermain diminda saya ketika berada disana.


Lebih indah lagi apabila menyaksikan nelayan turun setelah subuh dan pulang setelah fajar melabuhkan tirai. Mereka mengikut peredaran masa yang termaktub di dalam Quran. Siang mencari rezeki, malamnya pula melakukan amal ibadah semaksimum mungkin. Walaupun Terengganu tidak memiliki 'Modestos', 'Hard Rock Cafe', dan seumpama dengannya, mereka terus hidup dengan cara mereka. Sederhana dan mensyukuri nikmatNya.

Cuma satu yang menggusarkan hati rakyat Terengganu ini adalah pemimpin mereka. Jika dahulu dikatakan seorang yang agak samseng. Dan yang baru ini pula agak t'gilakan kereta Mercedes. Bahaya jugak tu! (",). Bukan saya cakap tetapi mereka yang mengeluarkan kenyataan tu. Mungkin mereka merindui pemimpin dahulu yang kacak berserban itu =p.

Yang selebihnya saya rasa biarlah gambar-gambar ini pula berbicara (*-*)

Taman Tamadun Islam

------------
Selepas 3 hari berada di KT, saya ke Kemaman untuk bertemu dengan Makcik Ina. Saya megenali beliau semasa makcik Ina tinggal di Amman, Jordan. Makcik Ina mempunyai seorang anak yang sama nama dengan saya. Tetapi semestinya Syamimi yang saya jumpa ini lebih muda daripada saya. Jauh kut mudanya. 13 tahun bezanya. (",). Best dapat jumpa walaupun sekejap. Tak puas rasanya. InsyaAllah kalau ada rezeki kita jumpa lagi ye. =p

Last but not least, we overnight at The Legend Resort, Cherating. Just relaxing our mind by menghayati keindahan pantai. Kami hanya tidur satu malam disana dan singgah di Kuantan untuk makan tengah hari dan membeli sedikit keropok untuk dibawa pulang. Percutian yang sangat merehatkan minda walaupun tanpa plan yang betul-betul. Full of excitement :D. See u again.

p/s: Tema percutian tahun ini: Cuti-cuti Malaysia. Tahun depan??? Hehe.... =p
