Aduhai guru...

Kebelakangan ni, aku terbaca ada banyak rungutan-rungutan pasal cikgu-cikgu. Ramai yang tak puas hati dengan cikgu-cikgu. Sebagai seorang bakal cikgu aku rasa sangat sedih. Kerana nila setitik rosak susu sebelanga, itu saja aku rasa yang dapat menggambarkan segala rungutan-rungutan tu. Mungkin mereka hanya melihat pada yang segelintir sahaja dan menyalahkan semua pendidik kerana kesalahan yang seorang itu. Jom tengok apa yang mereka-mereka kata: 





Mungkin ada lagi mereka-mereka yang lain di luar sana yang tak puas hati dengan cikgu-cikgu, tapi janganlah biadap sampai macam tu sekali. Kalau mereka dulu tak belajar dari cikgu-cikgu siapakah mereka hari ini. Memang tak di nafikan ada guru-guru yang tak berdedikasi seperti yang di katakan mereka, tapi setiap profesion pun pasti ada yang kurang berdedikasi. Tak semestinya bekerja hingga lewat malam, mereka itu bekerja dengan baik.

Aku di lahirkan dalam keluarga pendidik. Mama dan papa kedua-duanya adalah guru. Mama merupakan guru mengajar subjek Bahasa Melayu dan Inggeris. Aku merupakan seorang pelajar asrama sewaktu di sekolah menengah, apabila balik bermalam di rumah aku pasti inginkan perhatian sepenuhnya. Tapi ketika itu mama yang mengajar pelajar-pelajar UPSR seringkali ke sekolah untuk mengajar anak-anak muridnya. Hinggakan kadang kala aku rasa terabai, dan aku pernah juga salah sangka yang mama lebih sayangkan anak muridnya dari anak sendiri.

Ketika perjumpaan waris, mama dan papa memang tak pernah hadir ke sekolah atas komitmen mereka masing-masing kepada sekolah. Aku sering menangis mengenangkan peristiwa itu. Begitu tinggi rasa amanah mereka kepada anak didik masing-masing hinggakan anak sendiri di tinggalkan. Tapi kini aku mengerti, amanah yang di beri perlu di jaga. Aku rasa berkat keikhlasan mama mengajar anak-anak didiknya, alhamdulillah kami adik-beradik juga di kurniakan kejayaan.

Tak perlu rasanya mereka yang lain merasa dengki dengan guru-guru kerana sebenarnya tugas guru tak semudah yang mereka bayangkan. Dengan kerenah dan perangai anak-anak sekarang tugas guru menjadi semakin berat. Bukan ingin aku bidas mereka, kadang-kadang ibu bapa melepaskan seratus peratus tugas untuk mendidik anak-anak kepada guru. Cuba bayangkan kalau ada 1000 pelajar di sekolah, mampukan guru-guru untuk menegur setiap salah laku anak-anak didiknya.  Guru juga punya tanggujawab sendiri di rumah.

Tidak seharusnya guru-guru dan para pendidik disalahkan andai anak-anak tidak berjaya, ada seribu satu sebab mengapa mereka gagal. Persekitaran, teknologi, bahkan mungkin juga kerana kurangnya didikan agama dan pegangan hidup. Berhentilah menuding jari, bukan masanya untuk kita menyalahkan orang lain, carilah penyelesaian. Masing-masing ada tanggungjawab sendiri. Rasanya andai masing-masing fokus pada tanggujawab sendiri, maka masalah ini akan selesai. Kalau ingin menegur juga ada caranya. Orang Melayu punya adat dan budi bicaranya jangan terlalu lantang mengkritik kerana mungkin satu hari nanti, segala kritikan dan kutukan itu terkena pada diri sendiri.

What do I like about the K-Pop?

I’ve been watching this K-Pop since I entered the university and it means that it is already about 5 years that I got stuck with this wave. There a lot of reasons for me to like this K-Pop thingy. The first thing that makes me like this Korean singer and songs was when I heard Jang Nara song. She was so cute and the song easily captured my heart and it was also very catchy. 

The first Korean series that I has watched was Full House where I had watched it encore during my secondary school, but at that moment I cannot continuously watching that show because I stayed at the hostel. After I entered the university, the first series that had watched was My Girl, at the moment I totally felt in love with the Korean series. 

But at that time, I don’t really care to know about the update of the Korean wave, but after I had watched Boys over Flower, I started to look into their world. I started to update my knowledge about them especially when I really like Kim Hyun Joong. I had searched about him in the internet and automatically know about his group SS501. 

From that moment I watched any Korean series that my friends passed to me. Although a little bit, I watched autumn in my heart and cried a lot. While my friends watched it during the secondary school, I was still not captured by this wave. I really love the actors and actresses. They act lively and bring the soul out of the stories. I was totally into it. 

There are actually certain things that I really adore about this Korean series and songs. A part from the beautiful singer and actress and the handsome singer and actor, I like the beautiful scenery that they point out in the series or even on the variety show. They had various places that show their culture and country. They really preserve it well. 

But one thing that I truly be fond of is that their attitude towards the elderly. They have a high sense of respect. Even it is only a one year a part; they still call the person hyung, oppa, nuna or unnie. I like that very much. The bow to the eldest like grandfather, grandmother, father and mother which is something rare in our culture, even if we claim that we are Malay and we preserve our culture. 

Nowadays, kids at school they don’t even respect their teachers, especially the young teachers. I know that the TV might only portrait the good things about Korean cultures but this happens even when they are filming in the countryside. Some people may say that they are pretending to do good things in front of the camera, but can they always pretend to be good all the time. As a human being it is very hard to do unless you really brought up with the culture.

Although the series seem to be having the same theme in all country which is love, but for me Korean love story really touch my nerve. It has the sense of romantic, happiness, sad moment, and the things that women love; the happy ending story. Most of the Korean series have the happy ending story. Who like to watch a sad ending story? Although the reality of the life is always sad, but this is like escapism for those who like to watch the series. 

The good culture, the good looking actors and singer, the good scenery and places all around Korea, the catchy beat really make me into it. I really hope that one day I can go to Korea and witness all of it by myself.

Failing or struggling?

Due to emptiness in my schedule, I have a lot of time to watch TV. For this moment I have some series that I could not miss such as Love beyond the frontier, bread, love and dream and army wives season five. While I was watching TV this evening, I captured something from one of the series. “You are not failing, you are struggling” General Holden (army wives).  This was what he said to his daughter about failing and struggling, from his perspectives we are not failing if we are not give up of something and that is call struggling. For me it makes sense. 

In the series, he intended to tell his daughter that we cannot say that we are failing when we are still trying to adapt with something or trying overcoming the failure, we are actually struggling. As long as we are trying to do something about the failure we are not failing. In fact, failure is a mother of success. So, what is the actual meaning for these two words?  

Failing is a fault or a weak point that makes someone or something less effective, while struggling is experiencing difficulty, especially financial difficulty. These definitions are both from Macmillan dictionary. When we fail obviously we do not try to overcome our weaknesses that we realize as our source of failing. But when struggling, we may only face with the difficulties because we are trying to get out from the failing zone; we are only trying to move our self as far as we can from the problem or any obstacle we need to encounter. 

Thus, when we are facing with some difficulties, we should really struggle to find out the solution for it not to drown with the problems that will keep coming if we cannot deal with it. Admitting the problems make it easy for us to deal with it and try to find the resolution for it. You better struggle for something than failing with something. Failing is not the end of the battle; you will only fail when you let the failing to overpower your will.

Hot topic between me and mama.


Since I am now staying at home doing anything after the graduation, I have a lot of time, chatting and communicating with mama. I really like to share some of my friend’s stories with my mama. But once we started with the stories it might end up with certain topic. At my age there are certain topics that will come out when we had our conversation. 
  1.  Wedding and marriage
  2. Children and family 
  3.  Adik, abang and cik 
  4.  Marriage plan (catering, wedding dress etc) 
  5.  Clothes 
  6.  School stuff
In whatever topic that we started with, in the end we’ll always talk about the same topics which are the topics that had been stated above. At this moment while my classmate change their status, I always end up talking about it with mama. So, it is always the same topic that will be discussed. For now, there are always the hot topics. Well the topic might change when I get marry one day. but for now, the topic will always be the same. It is a hot stuff!

What is this feeling????

One of my best friend just had her wedding ceremony last Friday, I should be very happy for he. Indeed I am very happy with the wedding but at the same time I feel jealous towards her. I shouldn't feel that way, I know that is not good especially when she is one of my best buddy. But the fact that she already be someone's wife make me feel sad, depress and jealous. 

One of the reason maybe because I also want to get married as soon as possible and the important thing is that I don't even have someone special to be my husband. I feel so bad about this. I keep thinking to myself, that one day the day will come. Insyaallah I'll find some one too, who will take care of me and guide me to the right path. 

Maybe, the change of the status make a big change in our friendship. She might not be having as much time as she had before to spend with us. The first night already bring some changes to us. She has a husband to take care of, he is the priority in her life. Everything need to be done after a discussion with her husband. We really need to adapt with the changes in the life. 

I felt sorry for her with all the feeling inside me. Maybe Miza and Kat are having the same feeling like I do? I'm not sure about that, but for me the feeling will disappear after a while. Apart from that I am really happy with the wedding. Wany is happy and so do I. As her best friend her happiness is everything for me. I hope she'll get baby soon. But thinking about her study maybe it will take some time before they can develop their family. I really can't wait for her baby. All the best wishes to her.

Selamat Pengantin Baru, sahabatku sayang!

Semalam tanggal 31 Ogos 2012, lebih kurang pukul 6 petang, Cik Salzlizawani telah sah menjadi isteri kepada Fakhrul Azizi sekaligus menjadikan beliau menjadi orang yang pertama menukar status antara kami berempat. 

Kami berempat (Mieza, Waniy, Kat, Wany)
Seorang sahabat baikku telah selamat menjadi isteri orang. Majlis akad nikah yang dijalankan di masjid agak kelam kabut memandang terdapat lebih enam pasangan pengantin yang perlu dinikahkan oleh kadi. Pertama kali menghadiri majlis akad nikah, aku sendiri juga teruja ingin melihat bagaimana realiti sebenarnya sebuah majlis akad nikah.

 Selalu kelihatan di kaca TV pengantin akan menangis begitu juga dengan ibu bapa pengantin, aku kadang tak percaya mungkin itu cuma lakonan semata namun apabila berlaku di depan mata sendiri aku jadi percaya. Akal fikiranku masih lagi berfikir mengapa mereka menangis. Tatkala mendengar lafaz akad terima oleh pengantin lelaki aku juga jadi sebak. Mengapa? mungkin aku tahu selepas ini kami tak mungkin lagi jadi seperti dulu, Wany punya prioriti baru. Dengan sahnya lafaz akad, maka tanggujawab ke atas Wany oleh bapanya juga terlerai di gantikan dengan suaminya. Betapa agungnya lafaz akad nan satu itu. Aku mungkin juga tidak mengerti akan semua rasa ini kerana aku belum melaluinya, namun andai ada jodoh aku juga akan tahu perasaan Wany waktu itu. 

Baru saja Wany sah menjadi isteri aku sudah merasai perubahan statusnya bergelar seorang isteri, suami adalah keutamaan. Kini Wany telah pergelar puan, maka tinggallah kami yang masih lagi memegang status cik. Doaku buat Wany, semoga perkahwinan ini di berkati dan diredhai oleh Allah. Semoga Wany menggapai bahagia yang di cari. 

kami bersama pengantin baru!
