Poet Laureate[s]

when i start,i cannot stop,
when i stop, i have no desire to start back

and I just have a little bit more to cover,

only left with poet Laureates

that consists of Andrew Motion and Carol Ann Duffy <--[extreme feminist,it caught my attention during the lecture,wow,wow was me n yanyan2's expression]

Andrew Motion's poems depicted that life as often "shockingly interrupted",deals with personal trauma,effects of accidents,wars.He often questioned whether any meaning can be gleaned from life's random events.

His work used in class is "Regime Change"--->a poem to protest the invasion of Iraq

Carol Ann Duffy -->the first women +first openly bisexual to hold the position of Laureate in U.K

Her poems are about feminine archetypes,told from the perspective of the outsider,reflect on time,change,loss and extremely feminist

Warming Her Pearls--->well,can't outline the synopsis here,not good for minors...hoho

read about Absurd Theatre,how absurd it was...no use of reading something which had no conclusion in the end because it got straigt back to the beginning of the play...lucky me because i only read the summary [ Waiting for Godot ]...haha,aci x?aci...aci...

well,after writing the above,i guess i've covered Poet Laureates...muahaha..suka2

oh well

If only reminiscence could bestow me some upshots~

WTC+2012

Yesterday, i had the chance to watch a movie,just to relax my mind,
but the movie was of no relaxation-based...

i watched World Trade Centre, a movie based on the real ruins of World Trade Centre during 9/11/2001

synopsis Here

this event took away approximately 2,750 lives,either innocent or not but they were living souls...
So they say it was the attack from Al-Qaeda but the truth is,there are lots of secrets being hidden...

in the movie,when the two police officers were trapped under the collapse building and how both of them were trying to console/talk to each other,emo moments ok....tsk2

both of them survived [parallels with reality also] but the rest of the team died in the ruins...the end

after watching, i remembered one of the point in my WW1 notes where they proposed that war and destruction was needed to overcome the growing problems and to re-build a better life...Machiavelli also talked about "the end justifies all means"....can't help but to oppose this view......war is not everything,we have toleration,cooperation,the sense of togetherness within ourselves but what do we follow?our evil desire to just get anything by any means even if it meant of abolishing the innocents,how stupid and selfish is that?well,maybe i have always been in my so-called peaceful niche area but i can't help but to not approve of this kind of behaviour......

the end of the world is coming,are we prepared for that?


today,the movie 2012 is out....wanted to go and watch but due to time and money restriction,cannot^-^...oh well,i'll just wait for my friends to get a downloaded copy...it's a pity when people try so hard to predict judgement day but no one bothers of getting back into the right track because i still see/watch evil doings everywhere... <---and this also include me i guess..huhu

What is your excuse for not wearing the Hijab?

something that copied from Facebook,it's just a splended opinion and nice to be shared

Please read with an open heart....we are not forever on this earth...one day,we will return to our rightful creator

[ copied from reachcircle yahoogroup ]

1st Excuse: I'm not convinced of Hijab.

Can I ask you sister that, who are you? You may reply: I'm a Muslim. What is the meaning of Muslim? The one who completely submits himself totally to Allah for achieving peace, am I right? Sister, Hijab is a clear commandment of Allah (swt) and Muhammad (saw). How we can disobey them and deny what Allah and His Messenger have given to us? Prophet Ibrahim (as) had to sacrifice his son and even he didn't understand why he had to do such a thing. Does not it teach us how to submit our will to Allah?

2nd Excuse: The women who say that the most important thing is what is inside, that her intentions are always good, and she is a good person, and the Hijab is the Hijab of the heart. And these women say that they pray 5 times a day, pray the night prayers, pray the voluntary prayers, gives charity. However, she feels that this is enough worship for her.

Remember the holy verse of Al-Quran: "Then do you believe in a part of the Scripture and reject the rest? Then what is the recompense of those who do so among you, except disgrace in the life of this world, and on the Day of resurrection they shall be consigned to the most grievous torment. And Allah is not unaware of what you do. Those are they who have brought the life of this world at the price of Hereafter. Their torment shall not be lightened nor shall they be helped." [2:85-86]


The Third Excuse: The Hijab is not comfortable. And really difficult to maintain in some countries especially in tropical countries. A woman can complain that she loses her hair when she puts on the Hijab, because of the heat. So come on, do you want me to lose my hair and get bald? I won't put it on because my hair falls off.

Sister, Allah (saw) said: "Say that the Hell fire is stronger than the heat of the world."

The Prophet (saw) said: "Hell is surrounded by our desires, and Jannah is surrounded by the good things."

Is it still difficult for you to put on the Hijab? But you'll take GREAT deeds for following Allah's command!

The Fourth Excuse: The women say that they knew many ladies who wore Hijab and they have the worst of manners, and do the worst of things. So I don't want to put the Hijab on because I don't want to be like them.

Okay, I agree with you sister. But there are many people who pray, but do bad deeds too. Does it mean we shouldn't pray? Some people go to Hajj so that they can hide under the title of Hajj and that they can do bad things. Does that mean we shouldn't go to hajj? So sister, the wrong is not in the religion, but in the people themselves. So is the Hijab bad or the person who wears the Hijab?

5th Excuse: Allah has not guided me yet. I will put on the Hijab, but Allah hasn't guided me to do so now. So, when I will be 50 years old and I have enjoyed my life, I'll put on the Hijab.

No sister, this excuse is totally wrong. Allah said:

"Allah does not change a people's situation unless they change what is within themselves."

You will not put the Hijab on until you change what is within yourself and work towards putting on the Hijab. It's not acceptable for you to say that Allah has not guided you- no, he has guided you and the proof is that you are listening to these words. The reason you are listening to these words is; Allah has opened the journey of guidance to you. So, it is up to you to obey Him or to not.

6th Excuse: When I will get married I'll put on the Hijab.

So let me tell you, a lot of men look for the pious, religious woman who respects herself with her Hijab, more than those men who look for the other women. And Allah has written whom you will marry anyway! So you won't marry anyone else except for that person that Allah has chosen for you. Don't be afraid; put your trust in Allah. Allah will give you the pious husband. So when you marry, marry someone who will love you for your righteousness in spite of your physical beauties.
Once a man came to a scholar and asked him: If I'm going to marry my sister to someone, who should it be? The Scholar replied: marry her to a man who is a servant of Allah, so if he loved her, he will respect her, and if he hated her, he will not treat her badly. Marry the man that will protect you and be happy that you are a wearing the veil.

7th Excuse: I'm still too young to maintain Hijab.

Do you know when you'll die sister? The death rate for youths is increasing! I want to give you an example of a girl. I have taken the following story from an Islamic Site:"

This is a true story that really happened in Egypt, Alexandria last year in Ramadhan. The man was telling me that his wife wears a veil. Living in front of them was a young girl who was not wearing the veil. And the girl has good things inside her heart, like many of our sisters in Islam.

However, she doesn't understand the meaning of the veil and the meaning it has in Islam. So he said that his wife had good relations with this girl. She didn't ignore her just because she doesn't wear the Hijab. They were friends.

So one day the young girl had come to ask the wife if she'd come shopping with her to buy some jeans. So the intelligent wife (who knows that she has to call the girl towards Allah) agreed to go shopping with her, but under one condition: the girl comes with the wife to an Islamic circle that was going to start. The girl agreed.

So they went to the circle which was about repentance to Allah. The girl was so inspired by what was being said, and started to cry until she kept repeating one sentence over and over again: I've repented Allah, please someone cover me. The people told her: okay, let us take you home and you can put the Hijab on. But she refused, wanting to be covered right at that moment with the Hijab; she couldn't go out without it. So they got her a scarf and a dress, and she left the building with it on. And as soon as she left to cross the road, a car hit her and she died.

She died after she had repented. She is lucky that she repented before she died. So never give the excuse that you are still young, because you never know when you will die."

8th Excuse: I want to follow fashion and if I wear the Hijab I'll be out of fashion.

Isn't Allah dearer to you than fashion? I swear when you put the Hijab on you'll have light shinning from within you, and you'll be more beautiful with your Hijab.

9th Excuse: I want to follow the Westerners.

Who respects the woman more? Islam or those people who canĂ¢€™t even sell matches without painting a half-naked woman on it? Are they the ones who have respected the woman or exploited the woman? Or Islam, who has respected the woman and covered her and liberated her from exploitation? Do you want respect from Islam or from those apostles? The choice is yours!

10th Excuse: I don't want to because I'm afraid of taking it off.

Sister, why don't you put it on with firm faith and ask Allah (swt) to always protect you and let you never take it off. Of course I'm not saying that taking off the Hijab isn't a sin. Taking off the Hijab is the biggest sin because you would be encouraging other women to do the same.

Never ever do this please. Allah (swt) would hate that.

Wear the Hijab and do these three things to make sure you will never take it off:
1- Have good religious friends
2- Attend and listen to Islamic lectures
3- Make duaa (supplications) to ask God to keep your Hijab on and strengthen your faith.

Okay, the last excuse: I'm shy and embarrassed from what my friends and relatives will say if I put the Hijab on.

Sister, won't you be ashamed of yourself from Allah (swt) on the Day of Judgement? Won't you be embarrassed when you see the Prophet (saw) on the Day of Judgement?

On the Day of Judgement you will be thirsty and the Prophet (saw) will be giving water to everyone. And you will run to him, but two angels will stop you going further. The Prophet will say, leave her! She is from my nation. The angels will say: we cannot Prophet Muhammad, for she did not obey Allah's command. So the Prophet would say, go away, far away, I do not want to have anything to do with you because you didn't listen to Allah's command.

And who will be embarrassed in that day? The one who is showing her body to every one or the one who is respecting and covering it? The Prophet (saw) said: Grab Islam with your hands and teeth!

A Call to my Muslim Sisters:

Sisters in Islam, remember that you are an example to all the Muslim and non-Muslim women. With your manners, worship, smile, even when you are walking down the street, you are an example to everyone and you will indeed inspire many people, without even saying a word. You purify your society! Your good deeds are of extreme value to Allah. You will guide your sisters in Islam. You are our example, our ambassador of Islam. Please, please do not let us down!

Certainly we have destined many JINNS and HUMAN BEINGS for hell; those are the ones who have hearts with which they do not understand; they have eyes with which they do not see; they have ears with which they do not hear; THEY ARE LIKE ANIMALS - OR EVEN WORSE THAN THEM, BECAUSE THEY ARE THOSE WHO ARE HEEDLESS ~AL-A'RAF : 179~

dua paper itu+cuti+cik merah

exam tinggal lagi dua paper,14 dan 16 haribulan,
kedua2nya subjek literature,memang bukan kesayangan
Ling App:
subjek ini menggabungkan kedua2 linguistic [i guess i'm from this field] dan literature [ok,sangat xsayang]....sepanjang sem kami belajar untuk meng-analisa [susahnya nak eja] sajak2 [poems],films [tp mcm xbrapa nak emphasize pdhl yg ini best],plays ngn novels...kena cari Foregrounding Theory dalam setiap bahan,kaitkan phonological choices dengan tema bahan,omo,mahu pengsan...baiklah...memang dari sekolah adalah sedikit patrick starfish bila tiba bab literature,bab2 lain melibatkan english xdelah hebat manapun tp bolehlah...[masuk bakul nampak,dushh]...carrymarkspun xberapa nak memberansangkan malah paling teruk yg pernah dapat kot dalam mana2 subjekpun...tp utk midterm ritu khilaf part fill in the blanks,part analisa tu not bad la..at least lecturer faham la jugak dgn my opinion...biasanya i give opinions differently from others..aishh

Elit atau nama panjangnya: English Literature:20th Century and Contemporary:
subjek ni memang toksah cakaplah..kelas adalah dari pukul 3.30-4.50,time utk queen's sleep maka haruslah menidurkan diri dalam jaga di kelas...tapi susah nak konon2 fokus sebab kelas ni lecturer akan papar slide yang alam banyak dan kami perlu salin kalau xmahu fail subjek ni...jadi,kenalah rajin2 kan jejari utk menyalin dgn tulisan yg semacam ayam xpergi sekolah [kesian ayam xdosa apapun kena kutuk..sori yam]....semni bahan2 requirements ktorg adalah 3 biji novel yg boleh tahan ketebalannya,2 plays dari zaman tok kadok,berjuta2 poem [yg ni exaggerate tapi memang bnykpun] yg meliputi perang dunia pertama,perang dunia kedua dan poem2 moden [ww1,ww2,modern poetry]....memang memerlukan ketabahan melampau utk anti-fan literature mcm me ni...hoho....tp nak cheat sikit sebab xcukup masa,maka utk novel,hanya akan baca sinopsis,pahamkan tema,watak2 penting,zaman mana dibuat,apa relevan novel...da..BRILLIANT X IDEA???sesiapa nak ikut kena ambil risk la ye...hehe...i'm a risker when it comes to literature...xpe2...wanie boleh...last sem AMERICAN LITERATURE bolehje dapat A-...terror gak [ya Allah,bragging nye wani ni....tembak sikit]..jadi try2 la score utk kedua2 subjekni walaupun C.A.M mcm rojak pasemboq...haha


after final paper,me bakal dijemput familia [da tua2pun berjemput ngada2] utk blk ke JB,menolong mamaji menge-pack luggage bag [depa punya,me punya xdok..huhu],then blk KL dan duduk KL sampailah flight date [obviously i'm not flying kn]...7hb 12 da kena check in mahallah dan 8hb da start kelas [kejapp gler cuti]...wah,tiba2 excited pulak nak msuk next sem..ada umur yg panjang inshaAllah dah last sem,kena hegeh2 setel clearance,borang graduasi bla3...sedikit menyampah la pulak bila fikir kena pergi department2 yg agak 'baik layanan' tu nnt..huhu..xpe..senyum seperti kata ern,biar lembut sikit hati2 yg keras tuh..senyum berkadaran la kan... ^-^...oh ye..paling best sebab bakal dpt praktis blk lesen yg da berkarat2 sebab babuji tgl keta pd me [ yipiii] tp awal2 da dapat warning jgn berjoli sakan pulak...me kan baik ,mana joli2 ni..paling2pun lepak NZ je ngn teman2 mkn ayam tandoori...hehe....and kena plan utk bwk atok wan balik kedah,balik terengganu,nak kenal sedara mara yg xpernah jumpa atau da lama xjumpa tu..huhu...inshaAllah





pyar aur dhost?

today i'll be giving my thoughts on friendship and relationship *tiba2 skema

okay [alih bahasa],
p/s: this entry may sound a little bit un-Islamic to some people but i'm just talking in the sense of reality so don't go on melatah-ing...put yourself into the shoes of an observer

pernah x kita berada dalam dilema untuk memilih antara dua?


contoh:
A-B: jom kita pergi makan kat NZ? [ohoho,kekasih]<---please don't be misleaded by this statement
C-B: teman g library kejap boleh? [ kwn ]

[ohh punyalah mikirin situasi yg lain dari asal..]

jadi,mana yang akan kita pilih?kwn [yg rapat sikitla] atau kekasih [omo,donno what decent word to replace coz i cannot promote this stuff]



perlu ke kita korbankan salah satu?
perlu ke kita fikir mana lebih penting?
perlu ke kita jadi kawan yg memahami dan relakan dia pergi ke pihak yang satu lagi?



mari rapat2 sikit ye....


1) perlu ke kita korbankan salah satu?
kenapa nak korbankan kalau da dua2 penting..bukankah ada pilihan yang lebih bijak?tinggal kita sahaja kena pandai ambil tindakan.Dalam aspek ni,W.S.K memang xboleh lari dari nak guna contoh cerita hindi yg sering memaparkan sahabat berkorban atas nama persahabatan sedangkan banyak pihak akan terluka,jadi mana kemanisan bersahabat kalau begitu?manusia2 sekeliling juga banyak yang seolah2 menjauhkan diri dari bulatan persahabatan selepas jumpa dengan pasangan masing2,sayang kan kalau begitu?pendapat sahabat yg dulunya utama sudah jadi optional,sehingga kadang2 tidak mahu menerima langsung....sayang kan?kekasih mungkin satu hari nanti hilang rasa sayang pada kita tetapi bukankan sahabat selamanya?okay,ini bukan mahu manipulasi kenyataan dan kata "now,dump your other half" cuma nak kata kita kena adil dan saksama la...



2)perlu ke kita fikir mana lebih penting?
okay,yang ini kita mulakan dengan,bila sudah berkahwin,especially bg girls,memang kena dulukan suami,jadi dalam context sekarang,sama mcm di ats,kita kena adil...memang kita xakan dapat puaskan hati semua pihak jadi di situ kita kena jadi selfish sikit utk kata "NO" pada salah seorang atau pada kedua2nya [nak buat pening kepala mikirin buat apa?]..dulukan yg wajib "deenul haq" kemudian ibubapa dan keluarga....



3)pentingkah untuk memahami?
sangat!walau kuat manapun hati me [personally ] kata bercinta sblm berkahwin itu tidak boleh tetapi me terpaksa menerima hakikat dunia sekarang xde sesiapapun akan terlepas dari perkara itu...jadi,me xboleh menjadi self-centered,at least cuba menegur mana yang mampu,selebihnya memberi sokongan,memberi sokongan pula bukanlah bermaksud kita biarkan kwn kita hanyut dgn dunia cintanya,setiap hari kita bye2 pada kwn kita yg keluar lewat malam sebab nak jumpa pakwe/makwe....itu bukan memahami da,itu biarkan dia dan kita sekali lemas dalam lautan dosa namanya...huhu [walaupun diri sendiri yg tulis tapi pedasnya xterkata]...galakkan dia dengan kata2 "kalau da rasa dua2 selesa bersama,lekas2 lah kahwin"...at least kita detikkan rasa perhubungan yg halal itu lebih diberkati,lebih indah....tapi jangan pulak 'over' menegur mentan2lah kita xkapel kita nak pandang dia berdosa teramat....buatlah dalam cara yang paling halus....kalau kita baca balik sirah nabi,tgk cara baginda berdakwah,penuh kelembutan,xpernah missjudge,xpernah marah walaupun dihina...dan akhirnya lembut juga hati2 pihak jahiliyyah sehingga mahu menerima Islam sebagai agama hakiki....



jadi rasional,cuba pilih kebenaran.....mungkin bukan "at this particular point" tetapi boleh usahakan...jgn biarkan diri terjerumus dalam perkara2 tidak baik lama2

sebagai sahabat,me sudah boleh rasional yg me xboleh selfish....keadaan dunia sekarang membuatkan me kena jadi lebih sedikit memahami...memahami pula mestilah kena caranya..jangan pula kita tgk kwn kita hari ni dgn org lain,esok dgn org lain kita pulak bg semangat "wah,terrornya dpt tukar2 kapel" <---sesuatu yg perlu di banggakan ke?....kadang2 pendapat kita juga boleh disalah-ertikan oleh kwn kita..xpelah...at least kita da cuba kan??kt just doakan kebahagiaan dia...inshaAllah terbuka juga pintu hati dia satu hari nanti....

to me:
-never missjudge your friends
-be understanding but not to the point you are misleading them
-be courteous
-be reasonable
-don't sulk <----omo...like wanna slap myself
-be a good friend,a place to turn for,a shoulder to cry on....you don't wanna end up feeling miserable losing those great friends of your right
-don't feel apologetic for those past friendship that didn't work out,maybe you weren't meant to be good friends but you can still be friends right?



buat sahabat,
if my previous words to you,if my actions that didn't seem understanding enough,i apologize...i'm just like this,my concern to you,you and you is only for me and Him to know....you may misundertand me for not being such an understanding friend but hear me this "deep in my heart,i always pray that you'll end up with the person you are now with" and if you don't,He knows better...........





May Allah bless us all~

Republished: Impian Kami [S.K - A.K ]

entri ini dipublish pada 9 februari 2009


satu ketika dahulu sy pnh berangan nak hasilkan cerita2 islamic..

tiba2...

perbualan sy mlm td dgn seorang teman benar2 bermakna..

apakan tidaknya..
dia tlh menyatakan impiannya utk menjadi seorang broadcaster...mahu menghasilkan semua yg berkisarkan Islam semata2...maka,sy pun mencelah dgn satu idea yg sy kira 'provocation' jugalah..

sy kata "why don't we come up with our own t.v station"

dia menyambung lg "why not we take cerita2 kak fatimah syarhah to be our drama series instead of what we see nowadays..bukan nak kata semua cerita yg ada xbgs cuma nak dpt cerita yg benar2 berfaedah dan bermakna tu memang jarangla..

maka...

dgn semangatnya kami tekad utk cuba merealisasikan impian kami ini..

dtg dri latar belakang pendidikan yg agak berbeza dgn impian kami ini tidak mgkn mematahkan semangat kami..cuma yg kami doakan adalah supaya di masa akn dtg..apabila kami mahu memulakan projek kami ini..ada insan2 baik hati yg sudi menjadi investor dgn harapan supaya Islam boleh bangkit di peringkat media...jgn sekadar buat cerita2 insaf ketika musim2 tertentu je...jgn sekadar membincangkan certain2 isu ats dasar perbincangan shj...kalau boleh kami nak broadcast smpai peringkat dunia..biar semua dpt didedahkan dgn keindahan Islam dan menangkis persepsi 'islamicphobia'...owh..mcm2 yg kami rncgkan dan inshaAllah kalau apa yg kami rncgkan ini adalah utk kebaikan semua ia akan menjadi juga

mgkn apa yg kami impikan ini agak susah utk dilaksanakan tp ianya bukanlah mustahil..

sy tidak pnh menolak media@hiburan [hindi,english,korean] tp bg sy hiburan yg terlampau melalaikan itu tidak bgus utk jiwa...

disebabkan hiburan yg tidak terkawal jugalah rmai drpd kt termasuklah diri sy yg terleka dan menyimpang dari jln kebenaran...

andai ada sesiapa di luar sana yg pnh ada impian spt kami,yg mungkin berminat dan ada idea2 yg lebih bernas lg bolehlah berkongsi dgn kami..."the morer the strengthier we will be"...bg blogger2 yg kdg2 sy terjumpa yg suka menghasilkan siri2 cerita yg sy kira sungguh bermakna...apa kata anda menjadikan ia sebagai satu cerita yg semua boleh saksikan dan ambil iktibar...

semoga Islam kembali bersinar satu masa nanti..amin ^_^
