Deep respect.

World

Respect to them , sacrifice their time to attend training almost everynight.
Chasing glory for IIUM , all time hobby to compete on the highest level.
Some of them has played for the country,
Taking the advantage to influence others following their footsteps.

Winners are not born, they are made.
"Kalau belakang parang diasahkan tajam, apatah lagi manusia".
Some quotes that are said repeatedly by our state coach, Coach Habizan.
Champions, they stand on the podium with a proud face, their pride, their right.
But their effort remain unknown.
I believe, their effort is far more greater than I could have imagined.

People,
They only sees our achievements.
They acknowledge us when we provide something that will ensure their position, medals.
Not much that we demand, most of our demands are just to preserve the team's welfare.
When the most important things is not approved by higher ups, we went there only with our thick spirit.
Refusing to give up, whereas they are igniting the light for surrender, red light.
Good job team, show them what we are made of.
Someone will acknowledge our efforts.
Someday. Keep the spirit up. ^^

Spectator,

Pecatur Kehidupan.

Ya Allah.
Hidup bagaikan roda.
Benda sama berulang, walau generasi sudah bertukar.
Ada apa dengan istilah 'melayu'.
Melayu, sangat unik, dari segi ejaan dan sebutan.
Kita sering benci akan percaturan orang lain.
Sifat terlalu benci akhirnya memakan diri.
Bila sifat yang dibenci lama-kelamaan menjadi sebati dalam diri.
Kejayaan tidak datang bergolek wahai kawan.
Sering orang tua berpesan, jangan terlalu bencikan sesuatu perkara.
Nescaya sesuatu yang dibenci akan datang menyapa diri sendiri.
Bukan setakat menyapa, malah menjadi darah daging sendiri.

Bukan kerna aku memilih kawan wahai kawan.
Kerana aku memikul amanah sebagai seorang pemimpin.
Tanggungjawabku berbeza daripada kalian.
Setapak langkahku telah berpijak di pintu api neraka.
Tidak terlintas untuk aku abaikan semua.
Berlaku adil itu mudah dikata dan sukar diamal.
Tapi kerana sahabat, setia bersama sepanjang perjuangan.
Aku terpanggil untuk bersuara.
Apa salah dia, hingga ditindas sedemikian rupa?
Kadang-kadang fikiran rasa keliru.
Seolah-olah seseorang itu ber'watak'kan dua orang.
Tapi atas pangkat, aku hormat.

Benar.
Masing-masing ada hala tuju.
Tapi tidakkah kadang-kadang tujuan itu memotong hak orang lain?
Kau takkan rasa , kerana wataknya engkau bukan si pemerhati.
Tapi kau tidak bersalah, yang mengatur sebenarnya yang bersalah.
Kejam , erti kata lain , tapi agak kasar bunyinya.
Kawan tetap kawan, tapi jangan kawan makan kawan.
Apa yang aku nampak , hak seseorang telah diambil.
Ingat, doa orang teraniaya termakbul.
Tapi kerana sifat sahabatku ini, seorang pemaaf.

Pasrah.
Sedih bila baca 'conversation' daripada sahabat.
Bukankan tugas pelatih untuk menggalakkan?
Bukan untuk menghampakan.
Aku dapat mendalami setiap baris perkataan yang ditulis.
Bukan senang untuk akur terhadap arahan.
Mungkin telah berlinangan air mata sebelum terpacul setiap bait kata.
Tapi 'I feel you bro'.
Masa tidak boleh diputar balik.
Kata-kata dan keputusan mungkin telah terlambat untuk kau tukar fikiran.
Tapi apa-apa yang terjadi, aku belakang kau.
Apa yang kau rasa, tempiasnya kena kat aku.

Kerana kau, aku main sukan ni.

Masa pantas berlalu.

Assalamualaikum.
Sedikit luahan.
Semester ni mungkin ramai orang kenal aku dengan orang yang 'busy'.
Benar.
Kalau nak dikatakan, sebenarnya masa untuk aku menghadap pelajaran sangatlah sedikit.
Tapi aku merasakan tanggungjawab itu lebih utama.
Lagi-lagi mungkin ini MASUM yang terakhir buatku, membuatkan ku tak kisah untuk berkorban.
Mungkin kehadiran diriku ke training, untuk me'release'kan tension, tapi itu hanya sementara.
Aku lihat ramai muka baru sangat bersemangat untuk meneruskan perjuangan team, which is a good thing.
Kadang-kadang sesuatu benda yang manis memerlukan banyak perngorbanan,

Amanah dari Allah, jangan sia-siakan.

Allah, help me.

Prepare for the WORST.

Luangkan sikit masa, sebagai refleksi diri.

Selalu bilamana apa yang kita impikan, sejajar dengan apa yang kita dapat.

Waktu tu hati gembira, terukir senyuman , syukur kepada yang Esa. 

TAPI

Tak ramai yang mengucapkan Alhamdulillah bila sesuatu musibah berlaku.

Why not we make a change? 

Think as if, all that happen as a sign that He love us. 

As a sign that He want us to have a different path to live.

Masa suntuk, 

dalam masa yang sibuk , dapat menghirup udara setiap hari dah cukup.

Atleast, He give us air to breath, and use the air to do our worldly matters.

Kekadang kesuntukan masa ni mengajar kita something.

Benda yang remeh tak payah di besarkan,

Sebaliknya fokus kepada benda yang besar, main TARGET.

Bila kita menyuluh kepada kehidupan realiti,

betul, benda yang besar orang akan lihat, 

benda yang kecik seringkali di pandang enteng. 

Tapi , benda yang kecil membuatkan struktur yang besar itu kukuh dan mantap.

Renung-renungkan. 

Oh, and 1 more thing,

in life , you better prepare plan B, C, D, E and so on.

Puak yahudi merangka plan sesuatu menjangkau 20-30 tahun akan datang.

It shows that they are aware of surrounding,

how technologies can be changed in a blink of an eyes,

Come on, kita pun jangan ketinggalan ok? 

Kenapa kita tak boleh? sedangkan Allah telah menjanjikan macam-macam.

Sedikit renungan utk kita bersama. 

"Iman terbagi dua, separuh dalam sabar dan separuh dalam syukur". (HR Al-Baihaqi)  

Rasulullah SAW bersabda, "Kesabaran merupakan "dhiya' " (cahaya yang amat terang). (HR Muslim)

Being A Better YOU.

Have you ever heard , “be the best”.

Try googling the word,  the word is used as a motivational quotes from all around the world. Athletes motivation.

     But what I heard from Khutbah sounds different,  before performing weekly Friday prayer, the syeikh telling us (makmum), don’t try to be the best, because once you have reached the best, theres nothing to look for after that. So, he told us to be the ‘better’. Infinitely better. Which means, theres nothing to be compared to. Once you be a better person, a muslim, there are always someone who are better than you. Search for the betterness of all things that you did. Be a better person than everyone that you have known.  InshaaAllah, you will be better in the eyes of Allah.

    In my case, what I would like to relate is, from all the tests that He put me through in this temporary world, I want to figure out, what do all these things taught me. It’s not a one way learning experience;a teacher teach students in directly manner. As you grew older, no one will teach you as hard as life does. Life can be very bitter and sweet at the same time. There’s ups and downs for all the things that we’ve achieved. For all the musibah that are happened around me, He want to teach human something that cant be taught by teacher, parents or even my best friends.

     I would like to remind myself, how hard life hits you,  try to endure it.  It hits everyone else too. You can’t ask for a simple life, which means you will be living on your comfort zone all the time, which is a bad thing. The moment you feel comfortable, then something wrong with it. Atleast, for an athlete, you must be living far from your comfort zone. Your muscle need to be sore each and every day. Your minds should be thinking twice as hard as someone who are doing nothing. Some said, “Life is a race”. I would disagree to that. As you are racing to be good at certain things, you will lose some part of other things that other people are working for. It is never ending race to be won; from my point of view.

     I would like to think, be good in life. All aspect of life, as it will somehow help you to handle this life. Something are hard to get. There is reason behind it. Only now that I understood, good things are hard to get. Maybe if you mix it with istiqamah , steadfast in all your doing, it can be achieved.  As for example, healthy foods are more expensive than junk food. Why?

Make change,make time. Be a better version of yourself.

I am sure I want to be a better me in the future.

P/S: Serabut projek, tournament. Both are very important. :/

Miserable,

Arif Aliasa.

Time. precious.

     On my early years in IIUM, I was wondering wether time management could be so important. How to manage time well, does it affect my studies, my GPA and CGPA. I've survived fourth year already. I've been experimenting myself, challenging myself to take care of my studies while enjoying the nature, tournament experience, crazy attempt with crazy people, I can say that my overall progress of challenging myself increase year by year. I noticed I works best underpressure, at time I must admit that life is not that beautiful, but surviving on the storm is what makes it meaningful, satisfied. Knowing that you can handle everything at once, it is called an achievements. Im not saying that I am happy with things now, its just that when knowing my result is the same with my friends who are not active in either society based club or sports, I feel relieve. For the sake of working in the future, in engineering field, I feel like studies is important as well. My parents are very cool with my decisions, all decisions. They believe that to be a better men, I;as a boy, need to fill myself up with multitasking work, testing myself to the limit at the point that I make sujud, to ask for Allah's help. Sports is just a hobby that I would like to fill my time with, at first. Being active in sports is my life experience, thought me many things. Alhamdulillah to that.

 

    I am stuck. At a point where both being student of engineering and an athlete seems very important to me. What I have get myself into, is the choice I made 3 years back. No regret. But maybe I feel that I need someone to understand being pressured by too many things is not an easy burden to be handled. Some people look at me highly, as if I'm very clever person, some say I played silat for Malaysia. All I can say is Ameen. If its true, then it is a dream come true f or me. Hopefully. Being a captain is very hounoured, you get to manage team by your own way. Experimenting on the team, get close with them, afterall, they are all that I've got in IIUM.

 

FYP VS MASUM.

 

    Two things that kept me busy, is trying to handle both at once. I hate giving works to people, because I respect their time. Everyone has their time to be managed. Not everyone can be multitasking everything at once, things to be noted. I understand, not everyone is silat-minded like me and my bro. Like a friend of mine said, silat is the way of life. I've been in silat 10+ years, and I've noticed my body structures was built from primary school by doing push ups every weekend which is my training day. And I feel that strength, as a men is important, to defend ourselves and also our loved ones. 

 

     I can say that my Final Year Project 1 is far from finish, in fact its not 5% done at all. I am hoping that my supervisor would be impressed looking at my work, so that he can be refree to study masters abroad, thats my intial plan. I need to stay committed, consulting with him twice a week, make a deep research on 'Receive Signal Strength Indicator';fyp title. So that when he asked me, I can answer everything, elaborate it with full text. Hopefully by making him as my supervisor, I can communicate in english well, that will eventually help with my presentation at the end of the semester.

 

    The good thing is that this is my last semester as a captain. Finally I can focus on my studies. Got a whole lot of dreams to be captured. And planned it all with my siblings, encouraged by parents. They are being very supportive to their children. So Masum is just after the mid-term exam, and I have not plan my studies to face that hectic week. Its just between me and time. Time can be so wasted, but priceless. So, hopefully I can score on this semester despite very busy handling 2 things at once, may all the test that He gives me, as a sign that He loves me and want to raise me up being a better muslim to the world,nation,society and most importantly to my parents.

 

Above all, Allah is there when I need Him.

Remember Him, and He will remember you.

Keep getting tougher. Year over year.

Assalamualaikum.

Terpanggil untuk membuat entri berkenaan cabaran hidup yang semakin meningkat. 

Siapa kata dah konvo nanti, senang dapat kerja. Silap.

Regardless, yang ada 'cable' dalaman seperti makcik,pakcik,mak,ayah,sedara yang kerja on that company. Term 'cable' kejam sangat bunyinya, tapi pada pandangan peribadiku, itu salah satu 'advantage' kepada yang bekerja di syarikat berkenaan, kepada masa dan komitmen yang mereka korbankan semata-mata untuk bekerja di dalam syarikat swasta, syarikat di mana tekanan kerjanya lebih daripada biasa. 

Career Fairs yang berlangsung dua minggu lepas telah menyaksikan bahawa rata-rata syarikat mahukan graduan yang memiliki pointer sekadar 3.0 ke bawah. Dalam hati terdetik , "penat aku belajar selama ni, ni yang korang nak?". Sabar. Bad news untuk sesape yang mantain Dean's List every semester. Ape pula kata diorang? 

Ada sebab, mungkin pendapatan yang disediakan ikut pencapaian pointer seseorang. Logiklah jika sedemikian rupa. Nampak di sini, 'pointer is not that matter' for employer. High pointer means higher demand for wages. Itu ikut pemikiran mereka. Mungkin benda dah pernah terjadi. So, redho.

Kelau dikaji secara teliti, bergantung kepada apa yang kita nak buat selepas konvo nanti. Kalau nak bekerja, memang softskill sangat di titiberatkan lebih berbanding pointer. Tapi kalau pointer 2.0 kebawah, nak kene lempang namanya, ape korang buat sepanjang belajar huh? 

Berbeza pulak kalau misi hidup kembara ilmu. Di mana ilmu yang dipelajari dimanfaat sepanjang berlegarnya diri di atas muka bumi. Pengembara ilmu ini rata-rata akan terus-menerus menimba ilmu, haluan yang mereka pilih ialah Master, PhD dan seterusnya mendapatkan gelaran Professor. Salute you bro. Jadi, dengan itu memang wajarlah mendapat Dean's List setiap semester. 

80% ilmu akademik tak digunakan semasa alam pekerjaan.

Siapa kata? diri sendiri pun tak dapat nak konfemkan dengan kenyataan di atas. Tapi memang rata-rata penceramah pun kata begitu, mungkin benar? Wallahu'alam. Let's say betul. Proceed. Memang pahit kan? titik peluh mengulangkaji bahan bacaan yang boring dan tak paham, pengakhirannya tidak di ambil kira untuk kerja. ~!@#@$$@!@! !! No komen. 

Kalau menuntut ilmu, KERANA ilmu itu sendiri. Ikhlas namanya. Allah suka. 

Cuba meletakkan perjuangan sebagai seorang Islam, menandingi para cendekiawan dari negara-negara kafir. Perlunya cendekiawan Islam untuk 'standout' dengan dakyah dan propaganda luar. Biar ternama supaya senang untuk tembus ke negara luar menyampaikan indahnya Islam bukan seperti yang diwar-warkan oleh media massa. Kadang barat ter'over' dengan statement mereka, sehingga mengakibatkan negara mereka dilontarkan bom dan missil. Salah siapa? 

Cuba tanamkan niat untuk untuk membantu saudara Islam kita yang kurang bernasib baik. Nak cakap kurang, tapi memang tak bernasib baik pun. All is possible. 

Niat itu penting sebenarnya. Disebabkan niat, satu pekerjaan itu menjadi ibadah. 20 tahun kita bekerja, 20 tahun kita membuat ibadah kepada Allah. Allah suka, hidup diberkati, di beri ujian, hati tenang. Indahnya Islam.

Untuk mendapat tempat bekerja sangat sukar sekarang ni. Rata-rata syarikat ternama mahukan pekerja yang ada basic experience atleast 5-10 years. Itu kalau sektor profesional. Untuk nasib mahasiswa yang mengambil bidang kejuruteraan, sektor profesional adalah tempat kami. Tambahan pula, sijil sarjana muda dah semakin tak laku, even sijil Masters pun masih ade syarikat yang tak ambil kerja. Apakah? So, memang ilmu itu penting, assignments, projek, tapi aktiviti ko-kurikulum juga janganlah di abaikan. Soft skill bukan benda mudah untuk kita hafal dan juga paham. Body languages, dealing with people, high management skills, and etc. Semuanya penting sebagai bekalan alam pekerjaan nanti, tak termasuk lagi alam perkahwinan. Cewah! 

Terdengar juga, rata-rata yang sambung Masters sebab tak dapat peluang pekerjaan. Hmm. Risau. Tapi good news, kerana negara nak membangun maju, tenaga jurutera sangat di perlukan. Mungkin pendapatan tak berapa lumayan, terpaksa 'sacrifice' sikitlah mula-mula, Orang baru nak 'up' mmg gini. Haha, same gak atlit, mula-mula susah nak naik, Bila da naik, it feels GOOD. Overall, pengalaman tu penting. 

Mengenang nasib diri, intern pun tak dapat syarikat lagi setakat ni. Baru reject MIMOS Sdn Bhd yang bertempat di Bukit Jalil, walaupun kerja kat situ dekat dengan tempat training Atlit Malaysia, aku masih menunggu keputusan praktikal di syarikat pilihanku. The reason aku reject MIMOS sebab there's no turning back. Aiyo! aku pun sepakat dengan kawan sekuliah untuk reject. Tapi kekadang rasa menyesal. -.-!! 

Dalam membuat keputusan, aku selalu dahulukan hati. Dan berdoa memohon supaya, setiap jalan yang aku lalui, pertemukan aku dengan orang-orang yang dapat mengubah aku kepada yang lebih baik. Aku percaya rezeki datang dariNya. Selalu bila peluang datang mengetuk, jika hati tidak berdolak dalih, aku terima. 

Ya Allah, berkatilah perjalanan hidup diri ini. Ke jalan yang Engkau redhoi. Payungkanlah keluarga serta kenalan-kenalanku daripada malapetaka dan bencana, sesungguhnya kerana mereka, aku disini. Jadikanlah mereka seorang yang hebat sebaik-baik umat.
