Dulu, Kini dan...

Kami semua berasa sangat keletihan selepas seharian berjalan di ibu negara. Lawatan sambil belajar ke beberapa tempat berkaitan sains itu ternyata melemahkan fizikal dan mental kami. Walau bagaimanapun, aku masih cergas kerana Aina, anak bongsu Cikgu Hayati.

Puas aku mencuba nasib memenangi hatinya sepanjang hari itu. "Payah juga," desis hatiku. Walaupun dikalangan kami semua, Cikgu Hayati telah memberikan kepercayaan kepadaku untuk menjaga anak kesayangannya itu, tetapi sebagai seorang lelaki yang pemalu (ketika itu) aku masih gagal untuk menggodanya.

"Kimat (nama panggilanku ketika itu SAHAJA), kau cakap dengan Cikgu singgah Giant Seremban jap. Laparlah." Rakan-rakanku kelihatan sangat tidak bermaya. Memahami keadaan itu, maka dengan langkah penuh bergaya aku menghala ke depan di mana Cikgu Hayati dan Aina duduk.

Sebaik sahaja tiba di depan, aku melutut untuk bercakap dengan Cikgu. Tiba-tiba... Strettt... Bas membrek secara tiba-tiba. Aku tergolek menuruni tangga bas dan tersangkut pada pintu bas. Semestinya, kakiku menghala ke atas!

Aina tergelak agak kuat melihat apa yang terjadi kepadaku. Cikgu Hayati bertanyakan khabarku dan aku dengan gaya gagah dan perkasanya bangun berkata, "I'm okay, Cikgu!" walaupun pada hakikatnya aku berasa sangat malu dengan apa yang telah terjadi.

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

Akhirnya aku tiba di MITC bersama Pendek. Kami segera masuk ke dalam, menuju ke Ballroom yang terletak di Tingkat 2. Pendek memutuskan untuk tunggu di luar sementara aku pergi menemui Cikgu Hayati.

Kelihatan Cikgu Hayati dan ahli keluarganya sedang bergambar di atas pentas. Aku tunggu seketika. Setelah mereka turun, aku pergi menemui Cikgu.

"Assalamualaikum, Cikgu," aku memulakan bicara. Aku cium tangannya dengan penuh rasa hormat dan gembira. Cikgu Hayati membawaku duduk di sebuah meja berhampiran pintu masuk utama. Kami berbicara dan berbual tentang pelbagai cerita.

Melihatkan masa semakin suntuk, aku berkata kepadanya : "Cikgu, saya nak jumpa pengantin sekejap, boleh?". Cikgu mengizinkan.

Aku melangkah ke atas pentas dan terus menuju ke arah pasangan mempelai. Aku memberikan salam. Mereka menjawab dengan pandangan yang pelik. Maklumlah, aku datang dengan potongan rambut yang baru dan dengan gaya yang sangat bersahaja. Aku mengucapkan tahniah kepada mereka. Seketika kemudian, aku memandang ke arah pengantin perempuan.

"Aina, tak ingat ke siapa ni?" aku bertanya.

"Tengah cuba ingatkan ni," balasnya.

"Ish! Anak murid kesayangan Cikgu pun tak ingat? Appara..."

"Oh, Zaki!"

Perbualan kami berterusan, kebanyakannya berkisar tentang perjalanan terkini hidup masing-masing. Kemudian, kami senyap seketika. Tidak lama selepas itu, kami tergelak. Pengantin lelaki kelihatan blur dan tertanya-tanya.

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

Aku tidak mampu untuk berhenti tersenyum sehingga kini. Pengalaman cubaan memenangi hati Aina sewaktu di zaman persekolahan dahulu ternyata membuatkanku terasa sangat... Entah. Kelakar! Dah jadi bini orang weh!


Selamat pengantin baru :)

IMGLAD : 9th and 10th week (22 Mac - 2 Apr 2010)

Hi there! It is great to see you again. Here I am, to tell you the last part of my experience during the IMGLAD programme. Have fun!

Post-presentation Bowling
... strike, spare, enjoy ...

It was 23rd March. We had our final presentation of our business plan. Everything gone smoothly and we performed much more confidence compared with the first presentation. The best part coming.

At the afternoon, after the presentation, some of us came out with an idea to play bowling. Release tension, relax, everything! We wanted to pamper ourselves after being pushed for 8th weeks to work, work and work.

The arrival

Faces of happiness and satisfaction

Strike!

Threw the ball, threw the unhappiness!

The serious-sh*t-looking-me with Ainaa

Three cheers for happy day!

We really had a very good moment together. Hey guys! Why not we play together again when we meet next time? I believe all of you miss my Ball 9 technique!

Hall of Fame
... Danga Bay Marina ...

We were given a task by our beloved trainer. He asked us to go out around the area, even anywhere we want, took our best picture to be putted in the IMGLAD's Hall of Fame.

Actually, I think our trainer want to keep them for himself only.

Here are the picture of those who went together for the photography session with me.

With love, to our beloved trainer

After that, we enjoy our meals which were actually ordered a day before that night! Haha... Of course I chose the most expensive one...

The feast began...

When we done enjoying our meals, it was gifts exchange ceremony! All of us need to give a gifts to the person who were chosen randomly a few days before. That night, we have to picked up a numbered ping pong ball to choose who will be the first to start the activity and I was the first! Damn!

When we done with everything, we take pictures with our trainer for the last time. Then, we went to Danga City Mall to play bowling again. After that, we had our last supper together at Restoran Ayub.

Pesta Konvo UTM

... boredom is the disease, working is the medicine ...

I was asked by Shu-Ai to help her friend at her stall during the event. Because of boredom, I agreed straight away, with no doubt!

The advantages was I met my old friend at UTM Semarak, Raihan! She looked less chubby than few years back and her charm still the same. I was so happy with those coincidences!

Helping with the cooking and almost everything

By the way, it might be to late but congratulations for all my IMGLAD friends for the convocation!

Teluk Gorek, Mersing

... picnic, camping, cooking ...

The program was held by IMGLAD 9/A4 as their celebration day. It was held on 1st and 2nd April. However, since not all of their class members joined the event, Juli and I decided to go together with them since we were bored waiting to go home.

We began our journey about 11am with six (6) cars. For our lunch, we went to a chicken rice restaurant at Kota Tinggi.

Break and take

Around 3.30 pm, we arrived. We set the tents up straight away and putted all the stuffs brought to the place provided.

Set up the tents together

Rafi and Nor's cat

After tea break, we take our time to enjoy the beautiful views of the place. Some of us go swimming but I have no intention to join them. I feel much more comfortable to just sit and looking at the surroundings.

Swimming and playing'

After dawn, we all together prepare the meals for the dinner. As the chef de partie, I prepared the barbeque.

Busy at the pantry

Imported man of lamp ;p

We really enjoy our dinner that night! Owh! I bring a bottle of budu but only few of them were willing to try the magnificent traditional sauce. What the fish!

Then, we made few activities to cheer up the night. We did lot of things and what can I say is I feel so calm.

Moonlight Saga

Activities held

I woke up at 6.30 the next morning, as requested. One and half hour sleep was enough for that morning. The ambient that morning was so beautiful and peaceful. I feel so relief and thankful to be there. We enjoy it!

Dusk at the seaside

VIP from IMGLAD 11/A5

Before preparing the breakfast, we whom woke up early went to the beach to enjoy the view and... hunting!

Digging in progress

Environmental criminal!

Since we failed in our hunt, we prepared the breakfast straight away. We made pancake with chocolate, strawberry jam and honey as the topping. Plus, we also made sardine and egg sandwich.

After we finish, we went swimming and play beach volleyball. Others repacked the tents and tidy up the place. I went to the room for warm shower and fall asleep until being woke up for Friday prayer by Luqman.

Beach volleyball

Packing up

This one is interesting. Along able to caught a jellyfish! It just a small one and looked cute to me.

The cute, innocent jellyfish

The IMGLAD 9/A4 family

After we had our lunch, we prepared ourselves for the journey back home. An accident almost occur a few minutes later but everybody save and no major damages on the car.

Balik Kampung!

... JB - Muar - Alor Gajah ...

The date was 3rd April. After I serviced my car, I went to Kolej 9 and waiting for them - Juli and Shikin - as we planned to go back home together. What so amazing about this two (2) young lady was their stuffs made my car full like a can of sardine!

Their heavy-packed belongings!

Since we didn't took our breakfast yet, we went to the McDonald's Drive Thru nearby and start our journey later on straight to Parit Samsu, Muar.

McD, 24-7!

Couple of hours later, we arrived at Julina's house at Parit Samsu. Ah! It's very easy to get there. It was rainy that time. Her father was there that time but since he was so busy with her cousin's wedding ceremony, we just had a little chat only.

After we took out all her belongings, we went to her cousin's house. There, we met her mother and some of her siblings. We had our lunch there.

Julina's mother, brother and sisters (partly)

The newly wed couple

Julina once told me that there is a place in Muar that served the best mee bandung I ever had. So, I asked her to bring me there. If I'm not mistaken, it's Abdul Rahman Mee Bandung (correct me if I'm wrong).

Yes! That is the best mee bandung I ever had in my life! Shikin even order one once she tasted mine. In addition, we packed one for Jamil also!

It's fingers licking good!

A picture to be remember

Later on we rest for a couple hours at her house and then proceed our journey to Melaka. At Melaka Sentral, I dropped Shikin off and took up Jamil. Home sweet home!

Halalan Thoyyibah

Dalam Islam, makanan yang baik dan halal mampu membentuk keterampilan peribadi seseorang yang akhirnya akan membentuk ummah yang cemerlang bukan saja kesihatannya bahkan akhlak, sahsiah, peribadi mulia dan mengamalkan ajaran Islam secara lengkap serta menyeluruh.

Orang Islam tidak dibenarkan memakan benda yang haram dan 'syubhah' (tidak jelas halal atau haramnya). Ramai yang tidak prihatin dan tidak memeriksa dengan betul sama ada apa makanan yang diambil itu benar-benar halal atau sebaliknya.

Justeru, saya ingin berkongsi sedikit maklumat yang sebenarnya amat penting untuk diambil berat dan disebarkan kepada semua saudara Muslim kita, tidak dilupakan kepada rakan-rakan kita yang bukan Muslim supaya isu halal ini dapat difahami sekaligus menjadi keutamaan dalam membentuk kestabilan hidup, khususnya dalam masyarakat berbilang bangsa dan agama di Malaysia.

AWAS!
Perhatikan setiap kod berikut pada produk makanan yang anda beli kerana ia mengandungi
LEMAK BABI.

Terdapat bahan-bahan tambahan makanan (food additives) yang diragui (masybuh). Ia boleh menjadi halal atau haram bergantung kepada sumber ambilan. Bahan-bahan tambahan makanan tersebut seperti stabilizer, emulsifier, flavour, colouring dan sebagainya.

Berikut beberapa contoh bahan ramuan tambahan makanan yang berstatus masybuh atau syubhah yakni tidak jelas dari segi halal haramnya :


Memandangkan kita sentiasa terdedah kepada penggunaan barang yang mengandungi unsur babi, kita haruslah berhati-hati sebelum membeli sesuatu barangan.

Sumber : Milenia Muslim, Mac 2010

Sekian sahaja untuk kali ini. Sila sebarkan segala maklumat di atas demi menegakkan hak kita sebagai Muslim dan pengguna.

"Katakanlah (wahai Muhammad): "Aku tidak dapati dalam apa yang telah diwahyukan kepadaku, sesuatu yang diharamkan bagi orang yang hendak memakannya melainkan kalau benda itu bangkai, atau darah yang mengalir, atau daging babi - kerana sesungguhnya ia kotor, atau sesuatu yang dilakukan secara fasik, iaitu binatang yang disembelih atas nama yang lain dari Allah". Kemudian sesiapa yang terpaksa (memakannya kerana darurat) sedang ia tidak mengingininya dan tidak melampaui batas, maka sesungguhnya Tuhanmu Maha Pengampun, lagi Maha Mengasihani."
