Selamat Hari Merdeka Yang ke-57

Assalamualaikum...

Selamat Hari Merdeka!! Syukur kita masih di sini sebagai generasi pasca merdeka. Mungkin tidak membuak semangat seperti generasi ibu bapa kita dahulu yang lebih faham dan berpengalaman melalui kesusahan sebelum mencapai kemerdekaan.

Namun...

Tidak terlepas untuk kita sama-sama fahami dan selami apa itu merdeka.

Merdeka bagi sebuah negara adalah pemerintahan sendiri oleh penduduk negara itu bagi menuntut kedaulatan.

Apa itu Patriotisme.

Patriotisme itu adalah sentimen nasional di mana perasaan dan perbuatan yang mempamerkan cinta dan setia pada negara!

Bila mula menulis tadi, tak tahu kenapa tapi sangat rasa ada hubung kait merdeka seseorang individu itu (sesudah merdeka nya negara ini) antaranya mempunyai masa lapang dan kesihatan yang baik. And these two, adalah 2 nikmat yang sering dilupakan!

Masa itu akan berlalu pantas...jadi...Make the most of it sedang kita masih sihat tubuh badan dan punya masa lapang. :-)

Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!

p/s: Trying to find suitable activities to do with the kids to instill semangat kemerdekaan. Korang buat apa?

Istikharah dan Istisyarah

Assalamualaikum...

Dah beberapa kali nak tulis pasal ni. Tulis..padam..Tulis..padam.. and today..hopefully sampai ke titik noktah yang terakhir lah Insya Allah.

Jive ke tidak gambar ni dengan tajuk I? ish lantak kan lah. I memang dah tentu boleh relate. Tapi kalau korang tak baper nak faham.. sorry lah yek.

Ini semua ada kena mengena dengan cerita nak sambung PhD. Sebelum nak sambung tu, memang lah macam-macam dalam fikiran. Allah saja yang tahu. I love working. I love my job (maybe not the company but the job itself). But now, leaving all that to this.... biar betul?

Istikharah lah.

Dah. Dah buat pun. Hati masih rasa was-was. Rasa macam belum diberi petunjuk. Oh Allah, please forgive me! Jangan tak tahu, tak semestinya Allah bagi kita 'petunjuk' seketul dalam mimpi. Atau seketul jatuh dari langit ke hapaaaaa... Rupanya, satu cara petunjuk tu...urusan kita dipermudahkan. How fool for me not to know that. Semoga Allah ampunkan prasangka sebelum ni.

Ianya dipermudahkan.

I didn't have to apply (literally). Sebab memang dah shortlisted. Tak payah buat online application, tak payah bayar RM50 ke RM100 beli PIN dekat BSN tu. Dah cut short some processes. I was a bit slow in progress nak buat proposal. Tapi somehow bila siap, immediately potential supervisor accepted it! In fact, the potential supervisor yang so called volunteer to take me up! What more else I could wish for kan??? She actually plan to give me some allowance from her grant. At least I'm financed before dapat MyBrain. Hah, tak ok ke macam tu?

OK dah siap-siap nak gi register. The night before, I baru tau I misplaced the original cert and transcript. Memang rasa bad feelings that I wouldn't be able to complete the registration. So true enough. Tak dapat complete the registration. Either dapatkan balik the documents or have to go through the process to request for reissue from registrar. Great!

That point of time, I thought that was the big indication that I shouldn't continue. I said to myself, like a Du'a. Kalau tak jumpa cert ni, this is it. I will call for a stop. Cari kerja lah..or do something else.

Monday hari tu, I went and traced back the places I singgah masa hari kejadian. En. Azhar memang dah cakap not in his room. He actually went to his office on Saturday morning itself to check for me. So kind of him. OK, so pergi ke Akademik ofis. Ringan mulut pulak hari tu nak bercerita sedih to some kind hearted Puan who helped to call Pentadbiran (tempat kedua selepas Akademik ofis I singgah).... ANDDDDDD......

JUMPA documents tu semua! Elok je ada dekat kaunter where I left it. Allahuakbar. And after that, registration completed that day itself.


p/s: kadang2 because our feelings overpower what Allah wants to show us, kita jadi buta! or in denial to accept the petunjuk. :-(


Istisyarah tak?

Baru tau kalau kita in doubt, seek Allah's help through istikharah pastu kena istisyarah. I guess it's just the term yang baru tau. I've been doing this. Tanya orang pendapat. Read about it. Atau apa-apa perbuatan yang boleh memberi penerangan kepada kita sebelum kita membuat keputusan. I reckoned, pendapat love ones and those yang rapat memang la sangat dihargai. :-)

MrBawsMan, he's really superb! Melayan je bila I meroyan..ups and downs... He will support me, do or not do. Financially pun dia kena tanggunglah. Part tu ada rasa bit tak best. Sebab used to help each other mencari rezeki for the family. May Allah enable the smooth flow of our sustenance and grant us barakah. Amin!

Mak, she's too okay whatever it is my decision. But I can sense she's a bit worried cukup ke nanti makan pakai if one person only bekerja. Again, May Allah enable the smooth flow of our sustenance and grant us barakah. Amin!

My boys! Adam and Idrees who equally excited knowing their mom "sikit lagi nak jadi doktor!".

Told Kak Ina about my feelings. Was Was as she put it. Kak Ina kata, mungkin 'syaiton' yang bikin rasa macam tu because I intended to do something good. Hmmm, boleh pakai jugak kata Kak Ina ni.

En. Azhar, really wanted me to be part of the research team. He's so impressed with my writing skills. He asked if I was a writer who already authored a story book. What a waste not to continue.

Hanis, jangan susah peningkan kepala. If you think you don't want to do it. Tak payah buat. Senang. Well, she's easy minded lil sil. I like her for that!

Awin, she and her favorite chant. Keep going! Slowly becoming my chant too.

Zura? She's probably be my mate for this PhD journey. I didn't really asked her opinion per se. Tapi, I like her attitude for knowing exactly what she wanted to do in life at a young age.

Dr OT? Just who is this guy. Heaven sent! I have added his blog into my reading list. I have to admit, because of his book "Tulis Tesis Cepat", I got inspired. I think I can write thesis too. Cerita pasal dapat beli buku dia tu pun macam ajaib (let me keep that for myself).


Who else not being mentioned here personally...sorry lah kalau terlupa.

There goes my cerita. Till then!

His plans are better than my dreams

Assalamualaikum...

Pernah tak...ada suatu benda (dua atau tiga atau lebih :P) yang korang rasa nak sangat...nak buat..nak pergi..nak this and that... tapi tak pernah kesampaian? And this thing is not material based but larger than that. Maybe an experience would be good example.

Confuse ke?

Apa jugak minah ni nak cerita ye? Hehehhe..

"I have a dream". Tak, bukan nak nyanyi lagu Westlife. :p Ni nak sembang pasal my dream. Ever since I was small dekat sekolah menengah lah..I memang berangan nak memasang impian untuk pergi belajar overseas. Tu yang lepas SPM dapat result boleh tahan cun, I applied masuk AAD program dekat MARA Community College. That time, thought my dreams would have come true. Tapi 1997 economy crisis, hancur angan-angan impian.

But still "I believe I can Fly". Tak, bukan nak nyanyi lagu R. Kelly pun. I thought, never mind habiskan degree locally then later masa nak sambung Masters ke..or dapat kerja attachment dekat overseas ke....who knows it would somehow materialized!

Finished my degree dekat UTP. Year 2002. I was jobless. Gulp. From hometown, hijrah to 'overseas' in Penang to attend the re-skilling scheme (funded by the government for jobless graduate). Boy, it was hard that time. Luckily I had my then boyfriend ada with me (of course he's my hubby now!). Through thick and thin we were together.

After 6 months the re-skilling scheme & graduated flying colors (dapat MCSE and CCNA terus), I got my first job with Mesiniaga Penang as Systems Engineer. It was a good company. Bangga boleh masuk sana masa tu!

Dream Dream Dream "All I have to is dream"... Noooo..bukan nak nyanyi lagu Everly Brothers. Keje Mesiniaga, paling jauh outstation nye ke Subang Jaya je. Bila dah tukar kerja lain after that.. okay I dah merasa pergi Manila, Bangkok, Taiwan, Cebu (PH), Macao and yeah pretty much it. On short term basis lah like paling lama 4-5 days or so. Family holiday pun ada pergi Vietnam & Indonesia.

I still feel unsettled. Angan-angan asal wanted to go overseas belajar. Then loose sikit kalau tak dapat belajar dapat pergi keja pun okay. Well I wanted the experience. I don't know why but I somehow ada strong feelings over this dream. The overseas in particular, I would love to go places with 4 seasons.

Sambung cerita..

While working, I continued my Masters study dekat UiTM and already graduated last May. Hmmm...not any closer to fulfilling my dream... Then for some unavoidable circumstances and Insya Allah for good cause I resigned from my job. Hah, again tak ada chance dah for job attachment ke whatsoever.

My hubby is with MNC, HQ in UK. He's locally attached. Tak ada pulak international assignment so far. So can't hijack my dream into his venture.

One final resort... okay maybe I sambung PhD boleh pergi buat dekat overseas.

ANDDDDDDDD..it turned out, I pergi sambung dekat UiTM. Yes, already registered last Saturday.

So now, at 35.....and my dream...is still a dream. :-) My life is in Allah's hands. His plans are better than my dreams! Keep going Roshaliza.

Sekian cerita untuk kali ini.

Hari Berkabung Malaysia 22 Ogos 2014

Assalamualaikum...

I'm watching the TV now..Live telecast from Kompleks Bunga Raya on solemn and dignified reception 20 jenazah kumpulan pertama MH17 yang terkorban...

Am wearing dark colors too walaupun dekat rumah je pun. Tanda sama-sama berkabung. Sedih ni...:-( Tadi while watching the telecast, sempat baca online berita. Turut sedih sampai meleleh air mata.

"Anak menangis pertama kali sentuh keranda ibu" Umur anak arwah 8 tahun. Sebaya dengan Adam. Anak yang kedua baru setahun lebih still breastfeed. Allahuakbar.

"Terasa ‘dia’ ada" Salah seorang stewardess pulak sent final SMS to the husband that reads “Sayang tak akan selamanya sentiasa ada bersama abang suatu hari nanti. Sayang akan temui Allah dan takkan kembali, ” Oh Allah, Had they know about it?

Al-Fatihah and condolences to all of them.

Van Jenazah dah siap sampai. Sekarang pasukan pengiring jenazah tengah berkawad masuk. Going to watch this kejap then ada some work to do. Till Then!

Photobook untuk gambar sepanjang tahun!

Assalamualaikum...

Siapa ada beli Photobook voucher deal harga RM10 dekat MyDEAL lewat bulan June dulu? Boleh tengok sini iklan nya (tapi dah expired lah). First time ni beli voucher deal dekat situ. Plus, first time jugak nak buat photobook ni korang...

Murah kan?? Memang rasa murahhhhhh sangat. Sebab harga asal RM79. 40 pages punya tau yg 6x6 tu

Boleh ke?? Boleh ke tidak jadi photobook nya tak tau la...dari tadi lepas download software, masih terkapai kapai... Hmmmm...kurang memberangsangkan...Few pages dah letak gambar raya hari tu.. Now tengah nak letak gambar pergi Penang. Lepas tu mungkin cerita Konvo...then pergi Bali... Gayanya macam backward recalling all the happenings sepanjang tahun. Moga-moga ngam la 40 pages!

Hai Hai Hai..nikmat nye rasa taking my own sweet times nak buat photobook ni (despite terkapai-kapai bab software).. hari ni dah selamat hantar second draft Chapter 2 untuk thesis yang paid job I mentioned the other day. YAy!!!

Nanti sambung update kalau ada progress untuk photobook ni. Till Then!

Doa apabila melihat wajah di cermin

Assalamualaikum...

Kalau tengok cermin..selalu ingat.."Mirror Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all"... Mat salleh la sangat! Fefeling Snow White kan... dapat pulak vintage hand mirror cam gitu..awwwhhh..tak sudah berangan..

Cuba kita tukar jadi doa apabila melihat wajah di cermin... Ada jugak pahala. Plus it's really a good doa. Cantik makna dia... Doa tu pun pendek..Insya Allah kalau diamalkan beberapa kali dah boleh hafal. :-)

O'Allah, You have given me a good physical form. So, favor me with good morals and manners too.

Ameen..

Sekitar Syawal 2014 hari tu..

Assalamualaikum...

Dah 14 syawal hari ni. Baru nak update cerita first syawal hari tu. Masih terngiang syawal pertama...kurang meriah sama sekali. First time raya tanpa abah. Ramai yang balik patutnya lebih kemeriahan. Tapi ada drama lain pula yang mengusik hati dan perasaan ini. Bueeekk! Mengada nak emosi kat sini. I shall buang jauh-jauh ke tengah laut. Malas nak ingat.

Baju raya kami tahun ni tempah! Kaler mint green with purple. First time kot tempah. Usually beli ready made. Tapi tahun ni entah datang angin apa pergi tempah. Boys tempah dekat Ah Peng trusted tailor di kampung sebelah encik husband. Tapi tak lah trusted sangat dah sebab tak pandai jahit sampin. Sampin si Adam sama size dengan si Idrees. Naya je! Sampin encik husband pulak mak ai labuh yang amat...sighhhhh...

Baju I tempah dekat Azzara Cotton..first time tempah baju kurung moden kat situ. Pulak tu prada lace. Kena charge RM170. Bak kata orang with broken English "I is terkejut!". Mahal kan? Baik beli baju siap... Tapi dari sumber kawan-kawan yang suka tempah baju...ok harga tu..sebab kena jahit lining and consider it's prada lace. Apa-apa je lah...

Pagi Raya
Lepas solat raya di Masjid Jame' Lenggong....pergi ziarah kubur. Lepas balik rumah baru tukar pakai baju raya. Melaram la sangat dengan prada lace. Agak overdress rasanya. Heeeee....

Sesi bersalaman...boleh pulak tak banyak gambar yang di ambil...Sigh..next time got to plan this properly. Ada dua shot je gambar family. That's my mak in the middle. She didn't wear the baju raya that I bought matching color with ours. Baju raya yang adik ipar I beli yang dia pilih. Well...let's not to comment on that. It's Hari Raya anyway!! Gambar four of us pun tak sempat ambik.. Grrrrr...

Lepas sarapan..we went out ziarah lagi ke rumah Pak Cu dan Pak Ngah dekat kampung sebelah. Pergi rombongan few cars with my brothers and all. Memang dah jadi kebiasaan macam tu.. That is something yang perlu dikekalkan. Family values. :-)

On the left, me and Hanis (lil SIL). Top right me and Kak Rina my cousin. Bottom right me, Ella and Kak Rina. Had fun catching up with the girls!

Petang Raya
Dah abis beraya dengan saudara... I pergi beraya rumah kawan sekolah rendah. Konon nak buat gathering la, because actively ada dekat 10ppl in the Whatsapp group. Sekali, 3 orang je termasuk tuan rumah. Best sangat jumpa this bunch of people. Lagi best kalau ramai turned up. We have known each other since standard 5..sama-sama masuk asrama desa. So imagine la...that was about 25 years ago! and now look at us..dah kahwin dan beranak pinak. Heeeee...

Malam Raya pertama
Sebelah malam ada tahlil for arwah abah. Just between us families dan adik beradik rapat yang tinggal nearby. Proud to have anak saudara who is a hafiz mengimamkan solat. He gave tazkirah too... Hopefully one day...Adam dan Idrees can lead and be the imam too. Amin..

Lepas abis tahlil....we went back Parit Buntar the same night. This shall continue in the next post....

How was your raya?

Tanam sendiri terung

Assalamualaikum...

11 syawal dah... orang sibuk update gambar raya...I nak update gambar terung! boleh tak??? Tak kira lah..nak bangga jugak ni. Just right before balik raya seminggu hari tu ..nampak warna ungu terung tu dah keluar sikit... haaiiiii ada la 2 biji! Weeeeee...

At first susah hati... Nanti balik, ada rezeki ke lagi nak tengok dia berbuah sampai besar. Ke layu dan terus mati? Allah itu Maha Besar. Di beri pertolongan melalui kazen ku Petak Hijau. Dia bagi idea untuk letak botol berisi air dekat pokok tu. She's a real gardener weh. Mesti idea ni tested dan boleh pakai!. Oh ya, macam mana pulak pokok tu nak dapat air kalau letak botol macam tu je? Haaaa... kenalah cucuk dulu botol tu bagi ada lubang-lubang kecil untuk air keluar secukupnya.

Bila dah balik seminggu selepas itu.... TADAAAAAA.....

Sikit masa lagi boleh tuai dah. Dulu beli pokok ni RM5 je. Ada dua biji terung juga...tapi tak sempat tuai sebab jadi keras dan kuning... tersalah letak baja 'overdose'. Yang kali ini..besar harapan boleh tuai dan rasa homegrown terung.

Cantik tak warna purple? Haaaa..ni petunjuk untuk warna tema raya tahun ni. Hehehehehe...

Korang suka berkebun ke tak?

Project I am A muslim

Assalamualaikum...

This happened during Puasa month hari tu. 21st July sepatutnya the campaign would go viral.

Credit from Project I am A muslim FB page
3 goals to achieve for this project:

-to unite the ummah
-to send a strong & united message to the world (peace and justice)
-to get the attention of the international community

I see that it didn't take off that well. Sayang...to date dekat Instagram #projectiamamuslim ada dalam 5000++ messages.

Anyhow it is a noble act. To amplify the justice message to the world. May Allah SWT give the highest reward for the good deeds.

I actually participated. And this was my message (inspired by Mufti Menk's lecture on Battle of Badr):
