Hartal

Today Dr. Raja Iskandar, our beloved lecturer for Malaysian Studies subject,  shown us one video regarding Malaysian history. We were given a quiz right after the video ended and the question is based on the video: 

Not more then three line, describe what is HARTAL? 

My answer: It is a protest  lead by AMCJA-PUTERA happened in 20th October 1947 to fight against the Federation Constitution introduced by British. It involved the strike from the whole Malaysia and shutdown of schools, shop, clinic and so on. AMCJA-PUTERA introduced 'Perlembagaan Rakyat' as an alternative toward 'Federation Constitution'.

 Presenting a history in a video and other media stuff, is a very good idea, an effective way to convey the message and the feeling behind it. Watching, listening, allow your heart to go deep into the meaning and value of a history, and your mind working easier to remember the facts of the occasion such as dates, places, issues. Just like how this video did to me, i admit that it will remain longer in my mind, playing at the back of my head to digest, understand, and remember that moment of history. Somehow, this video left me with one mysterious question. Why did this HARTAL have never been discussed in class, and also not in the textbook when I was in school. Not in PMR, and not in SPM.

Beating Procrastination

Alhamdulillah, this is a very good guide for us to beat procrastination. But this guide will bring no meaning if we don't even struggle to follow it. It will be so tough, coz our uninvited and unpaid PA (syaitan) always be there with us. But remember Allah is closer to us then anybody else. 

Chapter 50: Sūrah Qāf

"And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein." Surah Qaf : 16

Let's be a productive Muslim! ;)

Productive Muslim

True life we face

I have a friend, I've been with her quite a long time. I was with her during my school time in Maahad Hamidiah Kajang. And I was with her during my college time in Taylor's University College. She's now far from me. But space does not separate us. She has a friend and she love him so much. One day I got a news, her friend is confirmed with a lung cancer. Few days after, Allah has taken him from this world. She is in sorrow, and I know I could not bear the test Allah give her I swear. I'm so sad that I only can give her some words in the hope that she can be stronger to face the test. But I know that she does not need those words I said to her, as Allah has given her so many strength. The strength comes with the test she is facing now. Allah gives it to her in every second, I see it. And the boy is a nice and wonderful person, I know. Allah takes him from this world, from his family, and from her, because of something big. Allah knows better. I'm glad to hear news that he has inverted to Islam, and may Allah guide his way to Jannah. Allah knows better.

 I thought this story will only come into a drama, or a movie, made by people. But I forgot that our true life, true story is made by Allah. And HE is so powerful that HE is the one who gives everything we have now. Whether it's a happy life, or an unbearable test, Allah knows better. And I've never thought this could happen to my dear friend, so I realized that she is a strong girl that Allah has chosen her and him. Her story makes me think more, love more, appreciate more. It makes me want to show my love to all people around me. Then I talk to my friends, I talk to my mama and my ayah, I feel their love in return. And the first name resound in my head, I want to go and talk to him, to say, how much I love him, how much I always want to be with him. I always want to talk to him. I was waiting for him. Day 1 and day 2 and day 3. But he is still not there. How I love him so much, and how I miss him so much. But I'm done chasing him. So I know it's time. I should realize. I should accept. Leave it to Allah.

Leave it to HIM.

Job Hunter

List of Companies I approached.

Now a lot of my friends have gotten their offer for internship. But i haven't got any. Well I know I don't deserve that very early placement offer because 1) No all-out effort yet, I can count on my finger how many company did I approached. 2) I'm not a Petronas Scholar so the chance to get a placement for petronas bonded companies is quite hard. 3) My CGPA is not that good, oh man. So tonite I spend all night long to update my resume, and search all the electrical related companies, being a job hunter. And I've sent my CV and cover letter to 55 companies by tonight. I need some rest now. And I need to pray harder, may Allah ease this process for me, and give the best placement that I deserve to get, in all ways. InsyaAllah :)

2011 in review

1. We are approaching the new year's eve. Have you been thinking of what will you do and how you're going to end the moment of this year and start the new 2012? Where will we be at during the countdown? It must be worth very much, more than just a party rite?

2. This is just a new video shared by a friend in Facebook, and I love the video. See how the World Searched with Google's 2011 Zeitgeist presenting the most searched events on Google in 2011.

3. Google did their review, and I do think we should review on ourselves too about all good deeds and bad deeds. If you're a Muslim than you must know 'muhasabah' is always recommended even for everyday before we sleep. Review does not mean to make ourselves regret about the past, but mean to be inspire us to be better for tomorrow. 

4. I found a website where it listed all the dates and days for the 'new year's eve' date and 'new year day' date. Well that's a must for people to know that the new year's eve always falls on December 31st and the new year day always falls on 1st January. But I've never noticed that the day will change with right sequence from Monday to Sunday and back to Monday again for the next year and so on. Interesting fact here! Apples 4 The Teacher
