Harapan Ramadhan

Harapan Ramadhan

Ku mengharapkan Ramadhan
Kali ini penuh makna
Agar dapat kulalui
Dengan sempurna

Selangkah demi selangkah
Setahun sudah pun berlalu
Masa yang pantas berlalu
Hingga tak terasa ku berada
Di bulan Ramadhan semula

Puasa satu amalan
Sebagaimana yang diperintahNya
Moga dapat ku lenturkan
Nafsu yang selalu membelenggu diri
Tiada henti-henti

Tak ingin ku biarkan Ramadhan berlalu saja
Tuhan pimpinlah daku yang lemah
Mengharungi segalanya dengan sabar
Kita memohon pada Tuhan diberikan kekuatan
Ku merayu pada Tuhan diterima amalan

Selangkah demi selangkah...
Dengan rahmatMu oh Tuhanku...
Ku tempuh jua

Guys... i think i have a problem. Lately, i always have to force myself to eat. I don't know why but i just don't feel like eating eventhough i was extremely hungry and feeling so weak. But don't worry, i always make sure i eat something. This has been going on for few weeks. At first, i thought it was not a big deal until a friend of mine met me and he said "KURUS jua kau!!!" Then i said to myself it must be because he haven't saw me for quite a while. When i met my another friend on another day, the first thing he said was "Makin kurus jua kau!!!!" Hmmm... then i started thinking maybe i really have lost some weight. "Nada papa tu" thats what i always say to myself supaya nyaman kan hati. Then lastnight... another friend stared at me and asked... "what happen to you... you look pale and kurus". OMG!!!! Whats wrong with me??? "hahaha" yea i'm freaking out here! After reading this article, maybe i'm stressed out... kan.. kan.. kan...

Satu kajian yang dijalankan selama 7 tahun, terhadap para pesakit yang menjalani rawatan di Pusat Rawatan Pakar Darul Hidayah Sdn. Bhd., mendapati bahawa punca penyakit adalah:

1.	Tekanan perasaan	50%
2.	Pemakanan yang tidak seimbang	25%
3.	Alam sekitar / cuaca	10%
4.	Keracunan / ubat	10%
5.	Genetik / keturunan	5%

Punca utama penyakit ialah stress atau tekanan perasaan. Berikut adalah contoh bagaimana stress boleh mempengaruhi kesihatan seseorang:

Ahmad mempunyai masalah di tempat kerja. Apabila pulang ke rumah, dia mendapati isterinya juga mendatangkan masalah kepadanya. Ahmad tidak dapat merehatkan tubuh yang letih dan otaknya yang penat dengan tekanan melampau. Setelah perkara ini berlarutan selama 6 bulan, Ahmad mulai mengalami masalah sukar tidur, sakit dada, sukar buang air besar dan hilang selera makan.Akhirnya dia jatuh sakit dan mendapat rawatan di hospital...

Bagi mengatasi masalah ini, rawatan dalam bentuk kaunseling, aromaterapi dan doa sangat berkesan untuk memulihkan kesihatan.

Jungle tracking

As promised, I spare my Monday for outdoor activity. This week, I decided to go to Tasek lama with my friends ( Mali, Ibnu, Al and Ayoi). It was fabtastic! I'd told you guys that i missed shahbandar but unfortunatly i'm not fit enough at the moment "hehe". However, there is a place for jungle tracking as well at Tasek Lama. I never knew that... YEAY!!! It was like a mini version of Shahbandar and i'm loving it!!! I'm going there again for sure...

Another packed sunday for me....

Assalamualaikum, Hi guys...

I knew I had to wake up early on Sunday yet i slept around 4 "hahaha inda pandai jara" when i woke up it was already 8am, so i took a quick shower and went to the 'kuburan' with my dad and my bro. It was 'hari membersihkan tanah perkuburan sekampung'. As far as i can remeber, this was my first. Usually i just went there on the month of Ramadhan when the place was already cleared up. Anyway, when i set my feet there, "oh wow... i never thought that place could look like that (samak) " It was fun actually... we all worked together. Although many people came down, besides my bro and my dad, i only know my tua, my usu and my two lil'cousin. The rest... ermmmm... There was this one old man, busy telling a story that all of us (who were there) rooted from O.K. Puasa bin O.K. Mulok who happen to be my datuk. Too bad i didnt know most of them. well after four generations kali ah "hahaha" I got back at around 11, had my lunch and took a long nap. Actually I was suppose to revise my Physics for the tuition but i was too tired that i couldn't even lift a page from the book.

I woke up at 3, getting ready for a tahlil at Mameh's (but sempat online and chat hahaha). I had to go separately since i need to go to work at 6. As usual, I was the last one to leave the house. Not long after, there was a sudden pain on my feet. So I stopped the car and checked. Astaga.. 'kesusuran'. I tried to take it out but after few minutes I still failed. So i just drove the car making sure i didnt step on that part "haha". I thought I was late but I was right on time. SCORE!!! "hahahahaha" Once i sat down.. tarus berusaha mengeluarkan that kesusuran dampai dapat. kerja keras kali ah ;p

At 5.30, I had to rush to Bunut for my tuition class. Last week, all my students came late so they received their first warning from their Sir "hehe" Now.. all of them came early. Even earlier than me (pukul brapa kah dorang datang). So I worked till 9. Reached home at 10ish, feeling extremely tired but i still manage to get online and chat. BUT... I ended up sleeping while my msn was still signed in... (-.-)zzZZZ

- Al-Ghazali.



If you want happiness for an hour ... take a nap.

If you want happiness for a day ... go fishing.

If you want happiness for a month ... get married.

If you want happiness for a year ... inherit a fortune.

If you want happiness for a lifetime ... help someone else.

My Monday

Its been a while since the last time i jogged. I really miss jungle tracking and hiking at Shahbandar but since i'm not fit enough at the moment, I don't dare to go there anytime soon. I'm not living a healthy life!!! I skip my breakfast and lunch almost everyday and sometimes, i only ate once a day. I don't do exercise anymore. "eish..eish..eish.." As for that, I texted my friends who are available at 5pm to be at the sport complex; Zul, Aj, Ayoi and Al turned up. The rest... they were busy and some were sleepy "haha".

I didn't really run. I just went for a walk for few laps and one round of jogging since i was advised not to push it and do it step by step. Then... we just sat and relax before we all went home. I'm gonna do it again next Monday "hehe" since that is the only day i'm free. Do you guys know where in Brunei i can do rock climbing??? I love to try...

Later that night, I went to escapade Kiulap for dinner with Shamsul. His treat! "haha"(Is it true that they had increased the price at escapade gadong?). I haven't see him for ages and when i met him last night.. WHOoooaaaaa!!! His hair is really big. I mean.. HUGE! "hahaha banarrr"


Since i'm too lazy to drive, he became my unwilling driver for the night. Anyway, I was so hungry and I forgot that I ordered a lot! not forgetting my Tempura choc ice cream! sorry sul... you still have to pay "hahahaha kejam" At escapade, I saw my friend who's just got married this month and i saw this man who seems very familiar. I know that i knew him, i know that he's my friend but I totally forgot his name and from where i knew him! I'm very "pelupa" I tried my best to recall but nah.. it didnt work. Then, after eating we didn't know where to go and just "ronda2" still shamsul was the driver. I reached home at almost 11.30pm.. Oh yea.. now i can remember where did i met him but not his name. "hahaha" He's my friend when we were working at TAIB four years ago..
Ya Rabbi....

For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:

A time to be born, and a time to die;

A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;

A time to kill, and a time to heal;

A time to break down, and a time to build up;

A time to weep, and a time to laugh;

A time to mourn, and a time to dance;

A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;

A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to seek, and a time to lose;

A time to keep, and a time to throw away;

A time to tear, and a time to sew;

A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

A time to love, and a time to hate,

A time for war, and a time for peace.

10th August 2008

As planned, we all meet up at hostel around 8ish (me, zul, Gzul and the pria asmara crew). It was the very last stage performance by pria asmara (theater), so we all came just to support and enjoy their show. The performance was in conjuction to the closing ceremony of the hostel orientation'08. It was hillarious and extremely funny "hehehe" However, it was a very sad moment for the pria asmara crew as for some of them, it would be their last after four years involving in theater and they are graduating this year.

Nisfu Syaaban

Rasulullah saw telah bangun pada malam (Nisfu Syaaban) dan bersembahyang dah sungguh lama sujudnya sehingga aku fikir beliau telah wafat. Apabila aku melihat demikian aku mencuit ibu jari kaki Baginda saw dan bergerak. Kemudian aku kembali dan aku dengar Baginda saw berkata dlm sujudnya, "Ya Allah aku pohonkan kemaafanMu daripada apa yg akan diturunkan dan aku pohonkan keredhaanMu daripada kemurkaanMu dan aku berlindung kpdMu daripadaMu. Aku tidak dpt menghitung pujian terhadapMu seperti kamu memuji diriMu sendiri." Setelah Baginda saw selesai sembahyang, Baginda berkata kpd Saiyidatina Aisyah r.a. "Malam ini adalan malam Nisfu syaaban. Sesunguhnya Allah Azzawajjal telah dtg kpd hambanya pada malam Nisfu syaaban dan memberi keampunan kpd mereka yg beristighfar, memberi rahmat ke atas mereka yg memberi rahmat dan melambatkan rahmat dan keampunan terhadap org2 yg dengki."

Hari nisfu sya'aban adalah hari dimana buku catatan amalan kita selama setahun diangkat ke langit dan diganti dengan buku catatan yang baru. Catatan pertama yang akan dicatatkan dibuku yang baru akan bermula sebaik sahaja masuk waktu maghrib, (15 Sya'aban bermula pada 14 hb sya'aban sebaik sahaja masuk maghrib)

[Renungan]

Ada keterangan mengatakan, Bumi ini berseru lima kali setiap hari:

"Hai anak Adam..."

1- Anda berjalan di atas punggungku dan kembalimu di perutku.
2- Anda makan berbagai makanan di atas punggungku dan anda akan dimakan ulat di dalam perut ku.
3- Anda tertawa di atas punggungku dan akan menangis di dalam perutku.
4- Anda bergembira di atas punggungku dan akan berduka di dalam perutku.
5- Anda berbuat dosa di atas punggungku dan akan diseksa di dalam perutku.

Moments....

tick tock.. tick tock.. ~krrriiiiiinnnggg~

Woke up this morning before 7 Ahhh... it was still very early for me! so i went back to sleep until 9 "hehe" I got few plans for today..

First, the sad part. I just received the news that one of my students' mummy pass away few days ago (Al-Fatihah) and he has been absent from school for quite a while. Looking from his nick on the msn, he really feels the lost and miss her a lot "kesian" Now, he no longer has any parents. No dad.. No mummy.. and he is only in form two. So guys, we should be grateful and appreciate what we have at the moment. I didn't plan to meet my students this soon but i was told that he will be moving out from school. So i have no other choice but to meet them today. I just wanna see him and make sure he's alright. At first, they planned to meet up at the study area which is exactly in the middle of the school. However at 10 this morning, I changed the plan. I told them that i will just wait for them in my car. I'm trying to avoid from seeing other teachers. Seriously... they are very talented in making up stories which is not pleasant to hear!! I'm just trying to get the kids out of trouble. I arrived at 12 but he haven't came yet. However, all the other students came and squeeze into my cars.. "hehe" I think there are more than 5 of them on the backseat at one time "sanggup!" and 2 on the front seat. The rest were just standing outside. There was a lot they wanna say until i didn't know how to "layan". I caught a glimpse on each of their faces and realised.. i miss them! "hahaha" I love that moment! Unfortunately, the bell rang!! which means they need to go to class for registration and he hasn't came yet :( I need to force my students out of my car before they are late for registration because they insisted to stay longer in my car "hahaha gauk banar". So, I didnt have the chance to meet him... :(

Next plan, LUNCH! yeay...
I had my lunch at Jolibee but my dish was extra "masin" but it was o..k.. "haha inda ikhlas". Then, i went to work from 2.30 till 5.30... Al picked me up and we went straight to UBD hostel where me and my friends decided to meet up. They are my hostel mates. well, used to.. They came all the way from KB and Tutong. I've been staying in room 11 since my first year until my fourth. Four years!! (thanks to zulkaer ;p) "hehe" There were many great and wondeful moments. We are all like families...and it was in my room where we all gather to share our problems, stories, jokes and fights, meng'ucap'ing and ter'umpat'ing "haha" Besides, there were also many crazy and scary moments as well. But now, the junior has my room :( One of my friends told me "zim... asal pintu atu bebuka, ku pikir ada kau masih" and just now, we sat near to "my room" when suddenly the junior came back from his lecture, went into the room and LOCKED the door!!! Ahhh.... "sampai hati......" That was our room! "hahaha"

Later...
There were only six of us since the other couldn't make it. We all jumped into ham's van and went for a dinner at foodzone. I really like his van since we could see the sky form inside and so i took a picture of it :) Then, we went for bOwLiNg... "yeayyyy" I Got 2 strikes!!!! "bukan kalok ah!" Al got 4! "handal ah" and Gzul got 1.. but the best part was.. we beat Ham again! sorry Ham... Not your day.. "haha kejam" It was a good game tho! and i should say well done to Gzul who scored the highest (110) and it was his first! Also to Lei.. Not bad for a beginner. Then we All went back home... Here are some of the captured moments of our bowling night... Enjoy~

[pirate]

Whenever my friends didnt wear their glasses.. i never missed a chance to grab it "hahaha" and took a picture "haha awu vain ah!" One day my friend, Al just bought a new glasses. Eversince i knew him, that was his first one. In his car... i tried it on... suddenly!!!!! opsss.... bukan i screw it up, but i lost the very very tiny screw. "hahahaha" (maaf di pohon). Few months after that tragedy, I went out with him yesterday. Surprisingly... that glasses was still in his car. So i wore them. that's the picture!!! i look like a pirate "hahaha" My conclusion... it is a hint that he is still not over it.. "kan minta ganti kali ni hahahahaha" Below.. more pics "hehe"

[If you work hard, party harder!!!]

During my teaching practice,
Friend: Zim, what are you doing tomorrow?
me: oh.. have to prepare lessons, buat weekly progress, do some marking... why?
Friend: Oh.. was planning to go out, watch movie and jalan-jalan....
me: kau nada kerja kah?! I have a lot to do man!
Friend: i finished my 5 week lesson plans. yea... so now kan enjoy..
me: whooaaa!! siuk!!!!!
friend: "when you work hard, party harder"

Since that day, i always remember his words... and i work hard! (tah karang) haha but everytime i wanna party n celebrate my hard work... i'm clueless of where to go. I normally end up eating in some cool fancy restaurant and cafe... there goes all my $$$ from my hard work hahahaha so now... his words are no longer applicable for me. In my case.. "if you work hard, you eat more delicious food!!!" hahaha

* i need to seriously do some exercise!!!! hahahaha*
