Are we developed into a calculator

I want to write something, but have no idea what I should write. emmm emmm emmme mmm emmm emmmm
what about being a calculator in higher education?
What is the difference of learning from primary school to secondary school and now at higher education? What are the difference that you can think of? Sometimes ot feels the same, doesnt ot, but maybe now the syllabus are now more in detail and the question set are tougher than before. What else?
For me, the huge difference that I could trace is WE MUST KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING. The syllabus aren't set for you only to have the formula right on front of your eyes without knowing anything. Now you have to know where and how it is derived. We spend hours of proving theories, and how the theory exist. Sometimes I wonder, do we have to know since we would only use the already given formula in the sheet rather than showing how on earth came from. But I figured it out that it is an elementary school of thinking, isnt it? Why do we have tolearn things that are only covered in exam? Meaning that we only study for the sake of passing the course only.
I always regret if I cant answer thing that I already learn. But it is kind of normal now. If that happen, I knew that I didnt understand it by heart. But at least, if I looked at the book, and I could reflect something, I am satisfied enough. I dont to be a CALCULATOR afterwards. That is not what I want to be. And I am sure you feel the same.

How Do you take your TEST?

I was reading Quran after Zuhur, on Surah Yunus, the 10th surah in Quran and I am on the last verse before I go for Surah Hud. And the 3rd last verses really caught my eyes, He says:

وَإِنْ يَمْسَسْكَ اللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ فَلَا كَاشِفَ لَهُ إِلَّا هُوَ وَإِنْ يُرِدْكَ بِخَيْرٍ فَلَا رَادَّ لِفَضْلِهِ يُصِيبُ بِهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيم

And [know that] if God should touch thee with misfortune, there is none who could remove it save Him; and if He intends good for thee, there is none who could turn away His bounty: He causes it to alight upon whomsoever He wills of His servants. And He alone is truly forgiving, truly a dispenser of grace. (107)

قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ جَاءَكُمُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ فَمَنِ اهْتَدَىٰ فَإِنَّمَا يَهْتَدِي لِنَفْسِهِ وَمَنْ ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيْهَا وَمَا أَنَا عَلَيْكُمْ بِوَكِيلٍ

SAY [O Prophet]: "O mankind! The truth from your Sustainer has now come unto you. Whoever, therefore, chooses to follow the right path, follows it but for his own good; and whoever chooses to go astray, goes but astray to his own hurt. And I am not responsible for your conduct." (108)

Masya Allah. I was so blur yesterday for no reason. Everything I did, I felt wrong and empty. And for sure that is from Allah. He want me to remember Him more, more than usual. And only Him could take out the emptiness I felt, cause everything come is from Him, and only ask from Him and only Him.

And from the 108, Allah mention that the Quran is there as your guidance. So open it and seek inside. Cause Quran explain EVERYTHING.

The medicine is right here before our eyes. So what is there to be waitng? And Alhamdulillah I feel much better now. Thank You Allah

Between the 2 smiles

There are two types of smile

1. when human in situation where they think I wamt to smile, the brain frontal cortex which deal with emotion takes delicate control over 50 or more of facial mussles to create a natural smile
2. If you force yourself to smile, the locomotor center send the order "SMILE" to control the muscle. and since forcing action is a base action, the smile always end up loking awkward.
   

that is the only two major types I found in Mr Brain (EP7). It is true though, even you could feel how awkward yoour smile is and people could detect it from your eye. Hence the most beautiful smile is a smile that coming sincerely from your heart and it is reflected trough your whole face. Quite hard is it? But be Happy and it will automatically appear in your eyes.
Ogh and one more thing, when our ancestor, primates, felt something is approaching them in the jungle, they would always assume that it was an enemy and act defensively. Then in the moment they met, they would bare their fangs and punce. If they realized it wasnt an enemy, they would halt their pounce but they wouldnt have time to cover their fangs. Since leaving that would be bad, in order to show they werent hostile, they would smile. And this is the original form of smile.

Penghulu Istighfar

Penghulu

Maksudnya:

“Ya, Allah Engkaulah Tuhanku, Tidak ada Tuhan selain Engkau, Engkaulah yang menjadikan aku. Sedang aku adalah hamba-Mu dan aku di dalam genggaman-Mu dan di dalam perjanjian setia ( beriman dan taat ) kepada-Mu sekuat mampuku. Aku berlindung kepada-Mu dari kejahatan yang telah ku lakukan. Aku mengakui atas segala nikmat yang telah Engkau berikan kepada ku dan aku mengaku segala dosaku. Maka ampunilah aku. Sesungguhnya tidak ada yang dapat mengampuni segala dosa kecuali Engkau.” Amin

Penjelasan:

Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w.: Barangsiapa yang membacanya pada waktu siang dengan penuh keyakinan lalu dia mati sebelum petang maka ia termasuk ahli syurga. Dan siapa yang membacanya pada waktu malam dengan penuh keyakinan lalu dia mati sebelum pagi maka ia termasuk ahli syurga. (HR Bukhari)

FIREWORKS:The sparks is in our heart regardless being high in the sky

Baru jek lepas tengok bunga api trough out my window. Sempena Diwali Festival at Viaduct Harbour (cofus: I tot the celbration should be serentak around the world. Isnt ir?). Mesmerized as always. Everytime I look at it, no matter where I am whenever I am, I always like it. My jaw would suddenly open and whispering 'waaaa'. It doesnt seem to change regardless of my growing age. I wonder why? Does human, or maybe tobe morespecific; women is easily mesmerize by something beautiful and colorful like it? just like how women love flower; adoring their wonderful colors that would make their heart blooming right away. Might be the same case here.

The sparks is in our heart regardless being high in the sky

Firaun Laut Merah dan Mumia

Sejak kecil lagi kita mendengar kisah Firaun kan. dan apa yang biasa kita bicarakan adalah mengenai kehebatan tamadun Mesir yang sejak beribu tahun lampau mampu mengawet tubuh manusia dan dipamerkan dari generasi ke generasi akan datang. Tapi kita lupa untuk mengamati kisah disebalik itu sendiri. Saya sendiri sentiasa 'blown by' that kind of fact. 'Pandainya mereka' terpahat di minda. Bahkan, ada yang mengatakan roti pertama dibuat juga adalah dari masa Firau, namun saya tidak pasti akan kesahihannya. Ini dapat dikaitkan dengan kisah ibu Nabi Musa terpaksa menyorok bayi lelakinya di dalam 'oven' ekoran gesaan Firaun untuk membunuh siapa sahaja bayi lelaki di negara itu rentetan dari mimpi ngeri yang beliau alami.

"Letakkanlah ia (Musa) di dalam peti, kemudian lemparkanlah ia ke sungai (Nil), maka pasti sungai itu membawanya ke tepi, supaya diambil oleh (Firaun) musuh-Ku dan musuhnya. Dan Aku telah melimpahkan kepadamu kasih sayang yang datang dari-Ku; dan supaya kamu diasuh di bawah pengawasan-Ku."" (Thaaha, 20: 38-39)

Mungkin oven yang dimaksudkan dalam kisah ini digunakan untuk membuat roti yang menjadi makanan ruji masyarakat arab sejak zaman berzaman. Mungkin.
Berbalik kepada kisah Firaun tadi. Firaun merupakan gelaran bagi raja atau ketua negara di sana. Sebagaimana kita dengan gelaran Sultan. Nabi Musa diutusakan untuk menyeru Firau dan masyarak Mesir untuk kembali menyembah ALLAH yang Maha Esa. Namun Firaun yang sombong malah mengaku dirinya sebagai tuhan, keras-kerasan menoloak ajakan Nabi Musa a.s. Dipendekkan cerita, pada suatu ketika, sedang mereka (pengikut N.Musa) melarikan dari tentera Fira'un, and found the dead end, Allah telah mengilhamkan Nabi Musa a.s untuk memukul Laut Merah agar menjadi laluan buat mereka menyelamatkan diri.

"Lalu Kami wahyukan kepada Musa: "Pukullah lautan itu dengan tongkatmu". Maka terbelahlah lautan itu dan tiap-tiap belahan adalah seperti gunung yang besar"(Asy-Syu'ara, 26:63)

dan laut yang luas itu terus membentuk laluan. AllahuAkbar. seperti mana ketentuan Allah, Firaun dan tenteranya dimusnahkan dengan sekelip mata. bagaimana hebatnya kuasa Allah, dan sungguh Dialah Yang Maha Berkuasa. Jika sesiapa pernah menonton The 10 Commandments mungkin mendapat gambarannya. Cuba bayangkan bagaimana Laut Merah yang lebarnya 900m dengan kepanjanga 1800m dibukakan menjadi satu jalan. Allah-Akbar. Maka Allah telah menyelamatkan jasad Firaun untuk tatapan masyarakat dunia zaman-berzaman lamanya. Namun, ramai dari kalangan kita yang hanya memiliki perasaan kagum semasa melihat sekujur jasad itu. Kagum dengan teknologi meraka. bagaimana kita pada hari ini masih dapat melihat tubuh manusia dari ribuan tahun lampau. malah ada yang menjadikannya sebagai fashion icon. Kini mumia itu ditempatkan di muzium Mesir.

Saya juga sering lupa bahawa itu adalah laknat Allah kepada Firaun yang angkuh. Apa yang lebih menyeksakan daripada mati dan tidak dikebumikan dengan sempurna, malah menjadi tatapan umum sepanjang zaman. Masih menjadi buah mulut dari hari ke hari. Kita lupa bahawa, Allah telah menyimpan sekurur jasad itu agar kita mengambil pelajaran darinya. Agar kita tidak melakukan kesilapan yang sama.
'Maka pada hari ini kami selamatkan badanmu supaya kamu dapat menjadi pelajaran
bagi orang-orang yang datang sesudahmu dan sesungguhnya kebanyakan dari manusia
lengah dari tanda-tanda kekuasaan Kami.'' (QS Yunus: 92).
Ada yang menceritakan bahawa, di saat akhir hayat Firaun, di saat nyawa telah dikerongkong, barulah dia ingin mengaku ada kuasa yang lebih hebat darinya, mengaku kewujudan Allah yang esa. Dan di saat itu pintu taubat telah tertutup, dan apa yang tinggal hanyalah kemurkaan Allah. Moga kita dijauhkan, Nauzubilah. Diceritakan, Syaitan yang dalam perjanjian dengan Allah untuk terus menghasut manusia ke hari kiamat berkata, "Sejahat aku sekalipun, aku tidak mengaku diri sebagai tuhan". (not the exact word)
Kini manusia sibuk mencari rahsia the preserved human. Dan Al-Quran yang telah membongkar rahsia mumia itu sendiri sejak seribu tahun yang lampau. Hanya dengan kemajuan sains hari ini mereka dapat mengenal pasti bahawa jasad itu iselamatkan dari laut. Ini tele dengan penemuan garam di tubuh Firaun itu. Sama-sama kita renungkan, dan berdoa agar dijauhkan dari azab di dunia dan di akhirat, Amin. Bukan sains yang mereka miliki menjadi as-sebab mumia itu masih dapat bertahan, namun kerana Allah hasa mention it clearly in Quran, namun kerana ALlah telah menjadikannya sebagai pengakaran bagi kita yang masih hidup ini.

Cute Girls @ Overseas

As demand from Nana. Here are the photos

I have this personal impression bout this category of kids hehhe How lucky they were to be brought up while their parent studying or maybe working overseas. They might leave there only for a short period, but the impact on their way of thinking and language are thigs that cant be denied. I would say majority of my friends who speak fluent english have experience leaving overseas. They might be at their young age back then, but somehow they have the confidence to speak and as a bonus, the slang to make it sounds good to ear. That might be kind of an obvious impact, but from what I see, the way they think also differ. They are more open to ideas and think even more critically. Leadership might be another advantage. Emm come to think about it, both my batchleaders in SSP and KMS are both have the same experience off leaving in UK (not to be exact). But that is only a minor effect, nothing like IF AND ONLY IF STATEMENT. Those quality could also be cultivated from our very own hardworks. Work on it like from your reading, writing, observation. All those could shapen your quality inside. but on top of it, AL-QURAN is the best method to be use to shape our personality. It is specially given by our LORD, as a manual to show and guide is in every single little thing we do. Leaving oversea might be only a small minor factor that should be accompnied by QURAN. Cause who knows best about the servant other than the maker itself

Tragedi to Ponder

Another earthquakes had striked Padang, Indonesia last Thursday. The major strong attack hit at 17:16:10 local time on 30th September at Sumatera with moment magnitude of 7.9. The second earthquake which meaured at 6.6 struck Jambi a day after Sumatera tragic day at 8:52 local time. This tragedy had attract many of the NGO and non-NGO body to lend a hand and send their rescue members. They will recover insya Allah, they are survivor, just like how they survive Tsunami half decade ago, Insya Allah. Lets flip the quran and see what it say. Lets first open the quran based on the time occurance.

1. Al-Isra:Verse:016
   And when We decide to destroy a town (population), We (first) send a definite order (to obey Allâh and be righteous) to those among them or We (first) increase in number those of its population] who lead a life of luxury. Then, they transgress therein, and thus the word (of torment) is justified against it (them). Then We destroy it with complete destruction
2. Al-Anfal:Verse:052 (Their way is) as the way of Pharaoh's folk and those before them; they disbelieved the revelations of Allah, and Allah took them in their sins. Lo! Allah is Strong, severe in punishment.

Subhanallah. Call it an accidence or anything. Allah-Akbar, Allah is GREAT. He could deliver a message to us in every way He wish. This might a call from Him. it just depends on us, how do we look at it. May Allah grant you with peace and be with you always.

Around Graduation

Graduation might be the proudest moment for both students and parents after few

years struggle in university. Day and night, nothing is more bothering than passing the course with flying colors. This week is the spring graduation day, and alhamdulillah I have the opportunity to be there, at the Aotea Square (a hall that university borrow to held the ceremony) to capture this precious moment with Kak Aisyah on her graduation day.
Every department has the same uniform but the only different thing is that the linen on the shoulder. Each category I would say have different way of representing themselves. Science department would wear blue, while purple for engineering and so on. What differ between undergraduates and postgarduates is the thing they put at their neck which cost additional $20, and for master student they dont have any fur on their uniform, which I think make the cloth a bit dull.
But overall, the ceremony is a grand ocassion despite of being off campus. But the highlight of the ceremony is where all the graduates walk around the city while wearing the suit in the morning and they continue to wear it for the whole day, cause this is the day to celebrate and it is an honour to wear that cloth they believe.

A moment to Remember

Forgiving isn't that hard
It is just giving away a little room in your heart

3rd Raya Open House

Hari Raya mood is still in the air here. People might say that it is already the 12th day of eidilfitri, but weekend is the only time we could pay a visit to our friends house after a hectic week from Monday to Friday. Today I went to two of my friends house located within 5 minutes walk. Really close right. No need to take a car or ride a bus, thats great. So we decide to pay a visit around 1 am, for killing two bird with 1 shot, heheh for both lunch and Hari Raya visit. I was mesmerized by their preparation. All five of them prepared typical Malaysian Hari Raya dish, nasi Impit, rendang and soto. All of them were yumyumyummy. What an advantage of living oversea, now we (am I included-thinking-) are able to prepare something that has never come across our mind, that kind of complicated traditional Malaysian dish, and on top of that, being able to serve almost hundreds guesses. I am completely mesmerized. And the taste is a cheff style, I just cant stop but eating. Then next, after some chit chatting we heading home and take a short rest before visiting another house.
Hehe so after a short rest for the stomach, then we continue to another house. House of tree of my batch. Another superb delicious menu served, and I cant hesitate to fill in the left empty spaces. Taking these and that, now sate was my main attention, sedapnyeeeee. Thank You my dear friend, you fulfill what I need, the need of my family's warm love. Thank You again, really appreciate it. May Allah bless you now and on every step ypu take in your life a ahead.

Di Bawah LangitMU

Di bawah langitmu
Bersujud semua
Memuji memuja asmamu
Dan bertasbih semua
Makhlukmu tunduk
Mengharap cinta dan kasihmu

Cahaya ilahi
Hangatnya Di hati
Di langkah sejuta wajah
Terbata penuh salah
Jalani sang hidup
Terluka terhempas berdosa

Hitam putih jalan hidup
Pahit getir warna dunia
Tangis tawa rasa hati
Terluka atau bahagia
Rasa bangga sementara
Setiap duka tak abadi
Semuanya wajah kan dipuji
Pada Allah kita kan kembal
