Child Cancer Awareness Week

I have a mission given my younger sister on my instagram (IG). It was about to support the Childhood Cancer Awareness Week that have circulated around IG since last week. Actually,  September is the Childhood Cancer Month to honour and remember children and families affected with these rare diseases and help rally support to give kids with better outcomes. 

I don't have any close family ties affected by the cancer but I am glad to support this awareness if it meant to make the children with unfortunate these rare diseases happy. 

 I intend to populate Instagram with children's characters for Child Cancer Awareness Week. Give me a like and I'll assign you a character."

I was assigned by my sister as Cinderella.

Cinderella muslim version

With some tagged line related to the character:

Have COURAGE and be KIND,

Where there is KINDNESS,

There is GOODNESS,

And where there is GOODNESS,

There is MAGIC,

Even MAGIC takes a LITTLE TIME..

Please spread around to support the awareness dear

Bak Raja Tanpa Baju

 

 

Masa aku pergi cafe berdekatan taska aku kerja part time tu, aku tertarik dengan artikel pasal "Bak Raja Tak Berbaju". Aku sempat beberapa baris ayat berkaitan dengan artikel tersebut seperti di bawah:

Apabila kita mula terasa terlalu ingin dipuji,

Apabila yang kita mahu dengar hanyalah kata yang sedap-sedap sahaja,

Lebih-lebih lagi atas kedudukan kita sebagai pemimpin atau ketua dalam sesuatu organisasi atau masyarakat dan ditambah pula kehadiran pembantu yang kaki ampu, 

Maka ambillah iktibar daripada kisah raja tanpa baju.

Sinopsis artikel ni sangat menarik, buat aku terfikir2 ada ke kisah pasal raja tak berbaju ni? Aku x sempat nak menyelak sebab pakcik cafe tu dah tengok semacam jek. Nak beli, aku bawak duit cukup2 jek. Sudahnya aku terus terlupa sampai dah abes keluaran Majalah Solusi tu. Aku cari di internet tapi tiada carian yang tepat berkaitan dengan kisah tersebut.

Kupasan pasal artikel tu ada bgtau yang ini realiti yang berlaku dalam masyarakat dan negara kita kini. Kisah raja tak berbaju ni dikatakan kisah turun temurun tapi iktibar dia masih lagi relevan bukan sahaja ditujukan pada pemimpin bahkan individu seperti kita juga. Aku berharap berpeluang dapat beli Majalah Solusi edisi untuk meredakan rasa ingun tahu aku tu. Mungkin kowg pon berminat nak tahu, mana tahu boleh bantu kowg brainstorming diri kowg utk lebih baik.

 

Keep on upgrade ur iman and faith, people!

Congratulation Sahabat

Ni throwback punya majlis konvo UPM. Entri ni khas untuk antara sahabat yang istimewa dalam hidup aku. 

Yang pertama namanya ialah Syu 

 

Dia ni actually junior aku masa degree. Xpernah sekuliah pon. Tapi kteowg pernah bekerjasama satu kumpulan masa untuk ktewog ambil Kursus Kepimpinan Pelajar UPM. Dalam aktiviti tu (sebenarnya aku lupe aktiviti apa yg kumpulan kita organize waktu tu) tapi aku dicalonkan sebagai timb. pengarah, dan dia AJK. Aku mmg bernasib malang sll kena pick up pgg jawatan. Waktu tu aku barely know her and kteowg xrapat, just bekerjasama sbg satu kumpulan. Muka dia garang barangkali x nampak mesra alam. Then, kteowg mula rapat sebab satu floor ngan dia selalu terserempak nak g toilet. Kebetulan satu jabatan sambung belajar, kat situ lg mula rapat. Geng partner in crime aku. Dia yg aku cari bila nk killing time. Senang cakap aku mmg selesa ngan dia, nak bercerita problem pon comfortable. Ktewg sentiasa share story. Aku rasa selamat bercerita dgn dia, dan dia pon rasa selamat bercerita dengan aku. Even dia dah kahwin pon, kteowg akan saling update bile teringat satu sama lain atau tgh free mesti datang melawat. Maklumlah, rumah sewa pon sebelah blok jek. Rumah sewa aku ni pon dia yang tolong carikan. Nampak tak betapa istimewanya hubungan sisterhood kteowg, sbb tu dia istimewa pada aku. We always support each other.

 

Ini antara bukti even kalau kahwin pon bukan halangan untuk berjaya genggam phD okay. Dia live simple life ngan husband dia. Anak sowg lelaki and insha allah tunggu yang kedua. Tu la kemanisan dalam berumah tangga waktu masih belajar. Suami dan anak sebagai tunjang dan penyokong setia saat kecewa dan putus asa dalam proses nak tamatkan pengajian. Bukan senang wo abeskan phd, lagi pulak sebagai isteri dan ibu dalam masa yang sama. 

 But she make it! She deserve it. Love you, syu! You know you always had my back when you need it.

Yang kedua ni pulak namanya ialah M.Z.M a.k.a. Gundam 

 

Dia ni actually sama fakulti, batch masuk degree pon sama cuma course jek lain2. Pernah kelas sama tapi tu pun xperasan sangat kewujudan dia, tau pun sebab kenal beberapa geng dia tu kawan dengan aku. Officially berkenalan dengan dia masa dia jadi Research Assistant (RA)  supervisor aku gantikan member aku. Kerja RA tu adalah indirectly bantu projek research aku dan member aku sebenarnya. Maklumlah perempuan, kudrat terhad buat kerja ladang ni.  Dia ambil kerja RA tu pun sementara nak tunggu kemasukan sambung Master dia yang semester berikutnya. 

Ingat lagi, waktu mmber sowg tu nak berhenti kerja RA tu mmg request dia yang rajin, sporting dan gila2 sikit, jangan skema. Pastu dia ckp, dun worry si pengganti ni ad semua tu ciri2 yg dikehendaki termasuklah suka karok, 😂 (serious xrequest yg tu pon, tu la name geng sekepala, tau preference). Igt lagi waktu pagi berkenalan dgn dia as a RA. First impression tu mmg ke laut sikit la, sbb len benar observation aku dgn yg mmber aku cerita. Ok fine, dont judge a book by its cover. Aku tgk nama full dia kat borang RA, Mohd Zulhilmi Misrol. Pastu member aku cakap panggil dia Emi. Aku reluctant nk panggil nama tu macam panggil kawan pompuan plak. So dia ckp panggil Gundam je (dgn sebutan kat blkg tu bunyi gun-damn karakter anime jepun tu), sudahnya aku cakap aku panggil dia Gundam dengan sebutan baku terus, tak sedap plak panggil damn tu. Terus lekat panggilan tu kat dia, so sape panggil dia dgn nama Gundam sebutan baku tu dr aku la tu knl hahhaa. Byk kejadian yang aneh2 berlaku antara aku ngan dia sehingga aku end up selesa and rapat ngan dia. Nanti ada kesempatan aku akan cerita slot khas untuk relationship aku ngan besties2 aku.

 

Waktu dia masuk master pon ak dah rapat ngan dia, so aku tau byk jugak la perjalanan master dia. Gundam ni orangnya ada vision utk masa depan, sgt serious dalam buat sesuatu and he will go for it, tak mudah patah semangat, knowledgeable, tak kedekut ilmu tapi satu yang aku kurang suka pasal dia ni ialah dia suka compare dia dia dgn org len yang akan buat self-esteem dia rendah, aku tak suka tgk bila konfiden diri dia rendah, aku sll tekankan benda ni kat dia, hopefully by now he should stop comparing by realizing he's a diamond now. He deserved a master scroll after all the hardship. Walupun the world against him, I always there for him. Wish all the best for him. Tahun depan, insha allah akan smbung phd dia kat Kasetsart University. I hope that he can always finish on time if he focus on what he is doing while exploring Thailand. I trust him on that, please behave! 

Dia kata nak cari bini siam, hurm nak jek aku cakap, bini tu mmg dah ad utk ko kat Luh Mahfuz, so xyah nak cari2 peningkan kepala. When the perfect time the two heart meant for each other will finally meet. Silap haribulan cari jauh2, rupanya significant other sejengkal jek jaraknya (maksud aku jodoh yg tak disangka2 okay). 

Turn aku bila? Coming soon!!

 

Doakan semoga dipermudahkan urusan oleh Allah. Dah pre convo dah pun. Hanya Allah tahu betapa likunya perjalanan phD aku, nobody know, so dont dare to judge!

Happy Graduation day to all.

Keep moving forward people!

A refresh time sleeping

Ever heard a refreshment to sleep? I created one for me after I found what a lovely mesmeric to for me that drawn me to sleep during a day time. A very good one? 

1) An ambient room condition. Heavy rain outside plus turn on the dime table light create a perfect condition to fall asleep. Cover yourself with fluffy warm blanket. Voila!

 

2) Change your pillow and bed sheets and they smell very fragrant like an aromatherapy to yourself to fast asleep.

3) No one around at that time to disturb you sleep.

4) Most important point, when you miss your bed after so long sleep over at other's places. ✌🏻️😂😂😂

Good nite, jal-ja!

 

It belong there

If you follow my blog, you must already know that I love plant. I just enough for me just to watch them there. Where? To where they belong. They just fit anywhere. 

Thus, it is a must do activity at least once a week for me to feel connected to them. Like, visiting the glasshouse or rain shelter of my friend with full of plant collections. His field study is botany, so he like plant and have some collection on plants. When, I have a free time, I will follow him to these places, do some planting, potting and maintenance. Despite the mosquitoes' bite, thorns of the plants and burnt out of the skin, the most important thing, I found happiness. 

This is small things that I can help the plant to grow. It was very sad to see forest got chopped down, many places that inhibited by the plant being cleared up for housing, development and so on. I just feel plant always perfectly belong to where ever they are. 

Hurm, something beyond my control. Even the wind change. I have to accept that nothing remain the same including the glasshouse. They will be shut down for the MRT's construction near to its. And my friend's collection will be transferred to his hometown in Negeri Sembilan, plus for Allah's will, he will continue his study in Kasetsart University, Bangkok. Dont know how to describe the feeling that I wont be seeing them growing again next year. I need to spend this gold time when ever I had with them before we parted. 😥😥. It's like you are losing your children though they just plants. I wish they will keep growing beautiful to where they belong. I know they will, although without me. Because they are my children, thus they are strong jusy like me! 

Mission to bring the beautiful fella to where it belongs. 

 

I treat them equally, though they are sick. The sick one need to be paid more attention, right!

 

After all this long waiting, it worthwhile. The mother bears 3 cute little pups.

 

 

This cute lady now already gorgeous women. Grow beautiful dear!

 

The strong fella, though he was little compared to his brother, he grow sturdy out of his comfort zone!

One thing you fellas beed to know, I love you all and wish you all grow healthy and beautiful always although without my sight. 

"We had it all"

I believed every great person, there is at least one undiscover inspiring story because great things only happen to people who did great efforts. I was glad I clicked on my friend's shared status on Passion Cafe TV about Bruno Mars life that poeple dont know before he became famous. He is one of my favourite singer, he sings with his heart that make pople can feel it, every words of his song lyrics give a feeling of foreboding, he always nailed a new concept and genre of his new albums.

I try to find in the you tube about the link of his interview with Passion Cafe TV but no results on that. He and his family had experience like a homeless people, as they had no place to stay, so they live a one room building near Paradise Park, a bird zoo where his father worked. Below there is a few higlighted screenshot about the interview.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reporter: And that what you remember about. It is not the struggle or things you didn't have, it's all the thing you had. 

Bruno: Yeah, we had it all. We had each other (family).

 

 

His life made him the way he is now. He always find the way to figure out things. So inspiring!

Then he said,

"I was built for this".

Me too thinking the same. We had it all when we are with our family. We can get through everything, ups and downs when we have family beside us, regardless by blood or not, as long as we called them family. That's the power of family bonding. I really miss my family right now. They all are now in JB except me, I had things to do 😭😭. 

Another highlight in the interview was our past make what we are now. But it depends on how people think to take their past life were? Meaning, not all people can take hardship in their past life as a good things, some might blamed their parent for being poor. That is why parenting is important to educate how the children see things. But what Bruno Mars and me see our hardship in our past life as good things that what make us today. 

You might be rich with money,

But I am happy that I am rich with wisdoms!

Musim Majlis Graduasi Taska

Kebanyakan parent yang ada anak berumur 4 atau 6 tahun mesti sibuk hadir majlis graduasi anak2. Tak sangka masa sangat pantas meninggalkan kita. Masih ingat aku majlis graduasi tadika abim aku, sijil dia masih dalam simpanan dokumen ayah dan arwah ibu aku. Mungkin sebab itu majlis graduasi pertama aku antara memori yang penting yang mereka mahu simpan bg zaman kanak2 kami. Aku masih ingat, aku pelajar terbaik pada waktu tu **down memory lane**

Sekarang, aku pula yang manage student taska 4 tahun untuk bergraduasi. Walupun aku partimer dan baru sebulan lebih bekerja, pihak taska mahu aku sama2 terlibat dengan aktiviti taska. Since, aku ada kelapangan, aku terima untuk terlibat. 

 

 

Ni muka tak sihat sepenuhnya, demam tak pulih sepenuhnya. Tapi, mental kena strong, tak leh layankan demam sangat. Dah la lewat gerak dari rumah, dalam perjalanan ada road block plak, nasib baik masih ramai cikgu2 pon belum tiba lagi 😂

 

Taska aku nama dia Taska De' Sayang. Dia banyak cawangan, owner dia Dato' Amnah binti Daud, dibantu oleh anak dia, Kak Tini. Taska ni banyak cawangan, di Putrajaya ada 3 iaitu di bawah Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia (KPM), Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM) dan Kementerian Luar Negeri (KLN). Untung jadi penguasa taska di bawah kementerian woo, ada pembiayaan yang diselenggara di bwh kementerian, sebab tu yuran taska dia pun murah. Taska aku di bawah KKM. 

Tahun ni, tuan rumah majlis graduasi adalah dibawah selenggaraan taska KKM tetapi masih lagi dibantu oleh taska2 yang lain. Tema baju cikgu taska pulak ialah warna royal blue and warna tudung kuning, di mana tudung di sponsor oleh owner dan warnanya dipilih oleh anak beliau. Pemilihan warna tudung mendapat sedikit ketidakpuashatian para guru kerana warna yang yang sedikit pudar. Orang zaman sekarang advanced bab2 matching ni, tapi redha jek bertahan pakai samapi 5-6 jam je. 

 

Ni sebilangan daripada 29 pelajar taska aku yang bergraduasi tahun ni. Beratur sementara menunggu yang lain tiba. Yang comel tgh tgk kamera tu nama dia Fattah. Terus jatuh cinta pandang pertama kat dia lepas kena bagi handle aturkan perjalanan masuk dowg ke pentas waktu persembahan nyanyian nanti.

Budak2 sekarang pantang gak nampak kamera, terus pandai pose. Yang sebelah aku tu, Mia Khaleesya and yang sowg lagi tu Zara. 

 

 Selfie dgn cikgu2 taska aku sementara nak tunggu majlis bermula. Bukan main masing2 make up ye! Ada 12 orang cikgu yang menguruskan taska ni. Semua full timer kecuali aku, hehehe. Semua hantu wefie, tak larat aku nk bergambar sangat.

Ni antara persembahan pelajar taska aku, nyanyian Jagalah Bumi oleh Boboiboi. Kelakar pun ada. Yang lain, tak sempat snap sebab kena handle budak2 pakai jubah pulak. Tahun ni, taska kteowg semua dapat saguhati jek, dengar kata ada biased sebab judges ada pihak KKM, wallahuawa'lam. Kita happy2 jek.

 

Dan inilah geng2 cikgu pelajar2 toddler (1-2 tahun) yang sekepala. Kak Zai (sebelah kiri tu) dalam 8 tahun bekerja tau kat taska. Budak2 panggil dia mama. Dah semua cikgu2 dalam kelas tu dowg panggil mama. Kak Zai ni walupun dia senior tapi dia tak sombong. Yang lagi 2 org tu kawan cousin aku, sebab dowg la aku tahu situ ada partime, hehhee.

Ok, majlis graduasi ended up smooth. Biasalah ada sedikit cakap2 blkg organiser itu ini kan. Yang penting aku nak balik berehat. Dah la tak sempat grab breakfast, so tak leh telan ubat. Lunch pun lewat 😅😅, nasib baik lunch datuk sponsor nasik berlauk.

Ramai puji aku nyer cutting jubah tu cantik. Tapi dowg tak tahu yang jubah tu aku alter sendiri jahit tangan dengan demam2 yang teruk tu aku menggigil jahit. Bukan sikit2 punya alter tau. Bila bgtau dowg, dowg pon terkejut aku jahit sendiri sebab nak flawless dari luaran. Actually, aku dah hantar alter dengan sowg makcik, dia dah buat seperti yang aku request cuma ukuran dia masih lagi besar. Memang tak berpuas hati bila aku sarung semula. Nak hantar semula tak boleh sebab dia baru admit masuk hospital rabu yang lepas suspected denggi, tak sampai hati nak bragging kat dia. Tak pe, aku dah biasalah dengan last minute task macam ni, resourceful katanya. Lps ni boleh aku buat jubah abaaya sendiri kan 😊😊.

Ok, tahniah bagu semua pelajar yang bergraduasi tahun ni tak kiralah peringkat umur anda. We live once, cheers!
