Malaysia: macam-macam…

July 8th, 2008 by sibah

Politik Malaysia, makin hari makin kronik.. Kalau patients di Wad Dahlia (Psychiatric ward) menampakkan symptoms pemulihan.. politik kita makin hari makin parah.. tak tahu di mana penghujungnya.. Kejap dgn sodomy, kejap dgn minyak, kejap dgn bunuh.. Sharlinie pun masih belum berjumpa.. apelah nasib rakyat Malaysia.. kisah yang tidak selesai..

Apakah peranan kita sebagai mahasiswa? kembalilah kepada Quran dan Sunnah..semuanya ada di sana..Iman itu anugerah, semua bukti ada di sekeliling kita, kejadian bumi, langit, binatang.. buat yang melihat dan memikirkannya..Iman mungkin tak dapat diwarisi.. tapi bisa dikongsi..

sahabat, salinglah nasihat menasihati dlm kebaikan dan kesabaran.. bila melihat kawan sudah lemah, tegurlah atas rasa peduli.. kerana hati yang karat tidak endah dgn dosa, tidak endah dgn teguran.. kita perlukan sesama sendiri bukan untuk teman semasa gembira atau duka shj.. tapi teman di akhirat yang abadi..

biarpun yang menegur itu penuh dgn kekurangan.. terimalah dgn terbuka.. kerana mereka sahabat yang peduli..

sembang-sembang sebelum nak study.. exam in 3 weeks time.. doakan ana dan shbt2..

Ahlan wa sahlan ya Ramadhan……….

alhamdulillah.. dah 7 minggu i’ve been in aussie.. it is indeed a great experience for me, as it is not a usual thing for me to go overseas with my friends. i’ve learned a lot thru out the journey.. either about ppl around me, about myself and to be nearer to Allah.. alhamdulillah..

thruout this journey, we’ve met a lot of nice people.. dekat geriatric centre (old folk home) or anywhere either in the train, students of melbourne uni..auntie khadijah and her nieces..(she’s from turki).. we met her during a talk at melbourne uni.. the talk was very interesting, which entitled constantinople.. during the talk, asma’ speaked her mind, that it would be very nice if we can meet with someone from another country and have a dinner with..hehe.. and then as we had a short break during the talk, we met aunty khadijah.. she is extraordinaryly nice.. alhamdulillah we met her.. we went to her house to enjoy the turkish delicacies twice.. we overnight at her house.. hehe, melayu yang tak malu, that’s us.. and i actually cried when it was the time to say goodbye..

we made a card for her..

Constantinople is a blessing

For God has brought us together

Like Ansar to Muhajirin

You treated us like we’re not strangers

Cuddled us like mother to daughters

To you goes our blessing and prayers

We maybe separated by the sea and land

but insya Allah in Jannah we’ll be hand in hand…

Ameen..

my friends met mariem her niece today..and she said her aunty cried for almost 2 hours after we left..and her talkative sister, safiah was silent for half an hour.. im gonna miss them a lot..

that is the beautiful of friendship built by Islam.. though we never know each other, Allah has brought us together..

i guess belajar kat overseas byk sgt advantages.. and i hope imran and those who has the opportunity learned a lot, and will be a better muslim and benefit the ummah..if imran is still single, i have a lot of calon2 to be wed to him..hihi..ramai betul budak perempuan baik2.. harap semuanya bertemu jodoh yang baik.. ameen..insya Allah..

and the non-muslim that Ive met.. they are all very nice too.. i cried to myself when i think of them.. i hope they will get Allah’s hidayah soon.. i cried when I imagined them not with the muslim in the heaven… we have a lot of work to do.. rasulullah must have cried a lot when he thought about abu talib..

this journey is for me to see.. Ya Allah thank you for all the neverending blessings you’ve given to me..

i prayed to Allah that i wanted the birds to be on top of my head

He answered my prayer

I prayed to Allah that I wanted a good weather so that I go sightseeing

He answered my prayer

I prayed to Allah to give blessings to those who helped me along the journey

I knew He has answered my prayers

jazakumullah KK to those who lived in Bedford as-solehah.. pelajar2 melbourne uni, monash uni adelaide, yang duduk kat malaysian hall sydney.. moga pertemuan yang sekejap ini diberkati Allah.. insya Allah kita bertemu lagi.. di bumi Malaysia..

balik nanti, I have one more year to go..insya Allah im gonna be a great muslimah doctor so as my beloved friends..

lupe nak ckp time kasih pada rakan2 seperjuangan.. asma, saidah, syah, ahmed and ramzi.. moga perjalanan kita ini diberkati Allah..dan minta maaf kalau ada terkasar bahasa, etc etc. semoga menjadi doktor yang baik, iA..

issues,,

this basically what i have been observing for almost 4 weeks here.. our cultures are quite different from the west.. it is accepted here to send ur loved one (your SPOUSE! your parents) to the aged-care services (rumah orang2 tua).. but in malaysia for those who did that, you’ll be considered as derhaka and such.. but sending ur loved one to Aussie’s aged-care services is not as bad as sending ur loved one to the current centre that we have in Malaysia.. they have properly trained medical staffs, and visiting drs.. even visits from families are very often..

some of my friends even think that if malaysia has the same system as aussie, maybe she’ll be considering doing the same things.. instead of sending ur loved one away due to hatred, or whatever reason, u send them to have a proper care.. they have a lot of activities everyday, so that the elderly social function is maintained.. we played bingo, we sang (our favourite song show me the way to go home!) and partying (which we didnt join.. wine was served) and catholic church session (we did join once- just curious)..

beside all those program, i guess they have emptiness that could not be replaced
by anything.. i always wanted to say something about islam to them, but they are demented…i  didnt know if they understand since their cognitive function is not very good (herm, i always find excuses for myself.. i should have at least try)..

anyway..despite all the benefits, i wont send my family to an aged care centre.. i dont know if i am able to be with them 24h but at least they’re with me.. but i hope all my family members will stay healthy and active until the end of their lives… becos once u become dependent,u will have all symptoms of depression.. doing geriatric study is quite good coz i’ll be able to understand the elders more..

anyway, here they like hug and kisses.. which is not in our culture.. i guess mama kissed me when she went for hajj,i never kiss ayah after the age of 7? i dont know.. but here.. they like to be hugged and kissed.. i have problem with that until recently that i started to give them TLC they needed (tender love and care).. it makes me sad though, u were kissing someone else’s mother.. hehe, i hope i can do that every now and then to my parents.. i guess i am missing my family a lot.. travelling with friends are not bad at all, but sometimes u may have some argument, disagreement.. yeah, everyone is not the same… some prefer to be like this, some prefer to be like that.. sometimes we are tired and act like a jerk..comment those and this.. the hormonal changes period.. etc etc.. there’s lot of ups and downs.. of course u tend to know ur fren better.. but things like that just cant be avoided.. it brings a lot of stress.. i am sorry for my rudeness and those comments that were not needed.. yeah, and there’s a lot of assumptions too, like they’re talking behind my back etc.. we’re frens.. we talked about other frens.. but we never say something bad.. we maybe hurt by each other.. but in the end, we prayed that our fren will understand that we’re sorry, and may she/he be in the best health and iman.. i am stressed right now.. it’s not good to write when ur stressed, but i have no body to talk to at this moment.. i feel quite relieved.. ya Allah, give me strengths to continue the journey.. may this friendship remain aman as kami semua bersahabat untukMu.. jadikanlah teguran sesama kami adalah untuk mendekatiMU tetapi seandainya kami tersalah, ampunkanlah kami, dan lapangkanlah hati sahabat2 kami terhadap kami.. ameen..

ASSALAMUALAIKUM..   

tak dapat nak update selalu.. sebab kitorang takde computer, asma nye takley wayarless.. so bile dpt komputer takleh nak karang pjng2 sebab ramai tunggu turn..hehe :P
byk gmba on perjalanan kami.. takde pun kat centre tuh sgt, since die private.. kene maintain the privacy.. so takleh amik gamba residents sgt, boleh amek gamba facilities.. the geriatric system in aus sgt different from malaysia.. they have division for those who need assistance for their ADL and those who independent.. even clerking the patient (who is not demented), was easy… they remember the medication even their findings.. one of the patient said she had tricuspid regurgitation (a valvular-heart problem).. wow! syah asked one patient on compliance, pastu die jadi annoyed.. who’s gonna do that stupid thing? (missed the drugs)..bagus2.. mind the language anyway..mule2 ktorang pegi satu tempat je (amity at south morang), pastu the manager arranged beberape tempat untuk kitorang pergi, baik sgt.. next week kitorang makan chapatti! kari ayam halal dan kuah dal.. HALAL! die belanja sambil lecture (alhamdulillah, proper lunch finally after 3 weeks of bread and jam –> sampai orang2 kat situ ingat itu makanan ruji malaysian.. hehe, sorry guys, wrong impression..

susah nak terang kan pasal halal..td fay (lifestyle coordinator kat amity) ckp muslim asek2 sume tak boleh.. kitorang suke lari2 nampak anjing.. pastu asek tolak makan.. minum je.. campur puasa sunat isnin khamis.. (tapi tak kurus pun)..
tapi dia kate la patutla ramzi kurus, sebab banyak tak boleh makan.. die nak peluk islam la.. tapi die interested in islam despite all her comments.. we have another 3 weeks to explain to her about islam and muslims.. hope we can do a good job!

suke la duk sini.. tapi rindu sgt kat malaysia.. owh asma` suh ckp tadi ada snow.. lebih pada hujan ais batu.. hujan ais batu di negara orang, hujan batu di negara sendri.. lbih baik di negara sendiri..

dah 2 minggu rupanya kami di Melbourne.. i dont know how to write my feelings right now.. it’s cold here, susah betul nak bangun tahajud.. sejuk sgt, patut la, Allah bagi keringanan untuk jama’ dalam suasana hujan, etc.. Sisters kat Melbourne sgt baik, they are willing to help us, even cook for us.. everyday they pray tahajud, had tazkirah session in the morning, bace mathurat every morning together.. they do all this without supervision.. i guess belajar kat overseas ada few advantages.. semua pakai tudung labuh.. alhamdulillah.. harap kami pun dapat menjadi insan yang lebih bertakwa selepas nie.. our journey was really tough.. naik lagi cheap airways, tak sangka begitu tough sekali perjalanan kami.. dekat kastam oz pun tersekat jap, sebab kitorang duk lama sgt.. 7 weeks.. dekat aussie, kalau nak bawa makanan kena declare.. ramzi cepat2 habiskan asam die.. tibe2 kene tahan juga.. ada satu asam dia tercicir dlm beg.. hihi.. that was funny.. kitorang lapar sgt sepanjang jln.. tgk makanan pun mahal nye.. kene budget.. so everyday we have only simple meal..  ada yang dah ada significant weight loss pun.. hehe.. rasanya lepas nie akan lebih mensyukuri nikmat makanan di Malaysia..

ok enuf about that. so everyday we wake up at about 5.30am, naik tram 7.30am, sampai kat that centre at about 9 am.. naik tram, lepas tu train, lepas tu bus.. sempat la tidur 2-3 round.. geriatric care in aussie sgt jauh berbanding malaysia.. hehe, taknak explain kat sini.. we leave the details, so that you will come to our presentation nanti, iA.. we hope to learn as much as we can so that we can improve our system in Malaysia.. in short, to improve our system, it doesnt need much of  our money..all it needs is love and concern from the staff at the centre..

kat oz, sume orang sihat2, hidup sampai umur 90-100 years old.. so byk case of dementia and alzheimer.. derang baik2 kat sini, so jgn risau pasal kitorang.. insya Allah, musafir ini bukanlah suatu yang sia-sia.. semoga perjalanan ini mematangkan kami Ya Allah..

Berikanlah keberkatan pada perjalanan ini. semoga kami tetap di jalan Mu.. Peliharalah hati-hati ini dr kemaksiatan..

Ameen.

nanti tulis lagi.. nak tidur dulu..

Salam dr Melbourne City,

Rich or poor..

March 25th, 2008 by sibah

When I was writing this, I was
listening to a great nasyeed, my mum is amazing.. It makes me missing my mom
and my family so much.. today, I went to radiological department of HTAA. I saw
a 20 year old boy, with swollen eyes.. it was normal to see teenagers around
the hospital, as they always involved in accident..but, this time it was
different.. he was caught by the police when he was trying to steal from a
house.. he looked so young.. I was very sad.. Alhamdulillah I was not born in a
poor family.. alhamdulillah all my sisters and brothers also born in my
family.. I could not imagine, one of us had to steal because he wanted to make
sure that all of us not in starvation.. I pray to Allah that He will grant me
wealth, but I am also afraid that I couldn’t be like Abdurrahman bin Auf.. have
you heard his story? He was indeed a good sahabah.. May I found someone like
him in my life.. Ameen.. let me share the story with all of you..

He was one the sahabat yang
dijamin syurga.. he reverted to Islam 2 days after Abu Bakar.. he went to
Madinah when Rasulullah announced about the hijrah.. when he arrived there, he
met with one sahabah (Ansar).. I couldn’t recall his name.. his sahabah offered
him one of his wives and his wealth. But he denied all the offer and asked the
sahabah to show him where the market is.. he was a famous businessman..
everywhere he went insya Allah, he will find wealth.. there is a famous saying
from another sahabah said that if Abdurrahman took a stone from a bushes, he
will find gold beneath the stone… despite being too rich.. he never forget to
contribute to Islam.. even in Tabuk, he offered too much of his wealth, until
Rasulullah asked him, do you left something for your family.. he answered, he
left something bigger and more valuable..of course, pahala yang besar buat
keluarga Abdurrahman.. even if I was to be his wife, I don’t know if I can
sacrifice in that way.. He must have very very good wives.. (he has 4 wives)..

 
Wealth is everyone’s dream.. it’s
one of the world tribulations..not to have one, and promising that once we’re
rich, we’ll help everybody is totally different from those having it.. if you
wanted to start contributing start it when you’re poor.. because insya Allah
when you’re rich, these wealth wont be so much problem to you..

PRU 2008

March 7th, 2008 by sibah

9.17 am 8 th March 2008

Alhamdulillah, dah dpt vote.. can’t wait for the result.. I hope Allah will help us to win this election.. but even if we wont, I know He must do it for a reason.. there’s always hikmah in anything.. it’s just beyond our thinking sometimes..

Actually this election helps me a lot.. sometimes when we think like there’s no more hope.. that we failed to convince people to choose wisely.. and failed to convince people how important it is to vote! Allah’s help will come..

Some people just dont care.. i hope they know whatever they choose to do, it will determine the outcome of dakwah in the next five years.. our television, newspapers keep highlighting the wrong issues.. we can change that! some people rather do the talking, but when it comes to act.. they did actually nothing.. i am sad.. i hope Allah will help us..

Islam never win with numbers.. Even if all the muslim turn their back from Islam, from their responsibilities, Islam never lose. We are the one who lose the battle.. We should realize that hidayah that being granted for Allah can be withdrawn from us at any time.. there are so many people out there whose dying.. their hearts are dying.. we need to help them.. As long as the muslim do their work.. Eventhough it’s not enough.. Maybe Allah will forgive us and put us in place among the sahabah and get to meet Him in the hereafter..

imagine if we choose wrongly.. in the next 5 years.. our generation will meet greater challenges.. nanti semuanya nak jadi penyanyi.. esp the malays.. it may not occur in your family.. but if you go kat  pedalaman.. you’ll see… orang2 kat kampung plak, masih ramai yang tak paham.. they are still holding to their principle.. why? it’s not their fault.. their source of knowledge esp on current issues, cume newspaper.. negara maju, terkenal seantara dunia.. takde masalah…it’s not their fault that our newspaper never make us into a thinker.. a critical thinker.. yang tak ikut sahaja..

we are the new generation, we need to make a change.. we can change it.. so dont make a fuss without an act!

I’m always emotional when it comes to this issue.. but I hope ini semua berlandaskan islam.. marah kerana cintakan Islam..

Ya Allah, moga aku thabat di jalan Mu
Ampunilah aku seandainya aku tersilap

health camp in jerantut

January 14th, 2008 by sibah

Last friday, 11th Jan, we went to jerantut, Kg Gol. the health camp was organized by year 4 (US!) mainly.of course with some help from our juniors and seniors.

it was a great experience. we spent 2 days and 1 night there. our programme started with opening speech from Tok Empat, Nordin b Samad. then we were divided into small groups and going to spend the night at our keluarga angkat’s house. i was adopted by tok imam, a.k.a apak and mak itam (siti aminah). they were too kind and friendly.

after jumaat prayer, we went for home visit at Kg orang asli and few malay houses. we gave some hygiene kit and food basket to those whom we visited. we also give islamic coloring booklet for the children (Awis did a great job on those books!)

i believed the programme had achieved the objectives. we hope that we promoted islamic behaviour as well when we visited there. we have 2 speakers, nazhan and azimullah. i heard nazhan tazkirah, and i thought his speech was very good, he was talking about how simple islam is. we missed azim tazkirah because they did it during subuh and i guess all the girls were busy helping around to prepare the breakfast at that time.

the conclusion is..sometimes we might be poor physically but it doesnt mean that our heart need to be poor too. people from kg gol showed us the beauty of friendship. they were ever ready to help us. even sponsor some of our food. may Allah bless them.

to those who missed the programme, you actually missed a lot of things!

Hadith 18 dalam himpunan 40 hadith Imam Nawawi

Dari Abu Dzar Jundub bin Junadah dan Abu Abdul Rahman Mua’dz bin Jabal radiyahu’anhuma dari Rasulullah sallallahu’alaihiwassalam sabdanya: Bertaqwalah kepada Allah dimana saja engkau berada. Dan ikutilah kejahatan dengan mengerjakan kebaikan, nescaya menghapuskannya. Dan berperangai kepada manusia dgn perangai yang bagus. Diriwayatkan oleh At-tarmizi. Dan katanya: Hadith ini hasan. Dan pada setengah naskah dikatakan hadith ini hasan sahih.

these days or weeks had been very difficult for me. it’s really hard not to cry and it’s really hard to put on a smile.. hehe.. it’s not that bad actually..

sibuk betul minggu ini dan juga minggu lepas.. banyak kerja nak buat, tapi banyak juga masa yang terbazir.. i hate it when i wasted my time, and i couldnt do anything to change it.. i dont really mind waiting for <20 minutes, dah biasa dr dulu..anyway, dah ada adaptation.. kalau tunggu org, baca la quran or any books.. tapi kalau kena tunggu tapi tak pasti apa penghujungnya.. susah la juga nak sabar.. sabar reflects our iman.. minggu nie rasa sungguh tak beriman.. asek nak marah sahaja.. sesuai dgn hadis kat atas.. Allah telah memberi beberapa kifarah untuk dosa2 ku.. hari jumaat, ingat nak pergi kelas, tunggu doktor dtg, kat hospital, terlanggar plak pintu yng baru kene cat..hehe.. dua kali plak tuh.. lagi teruk, white coat tuh aku pinjam from a friend.. tunggu la doktor dr pukul 6-12 lebih, tau2 je kawan2 aku cancelled our class..takpe la, sabar.. semoga kesabaran ini dpt menambah timbangan amal aku di

sana

..alhamdulillah juga aku dibalas di dunia.. semoga ia dpt menghapuskan dosa2 ku yang lalu..

my friend’s father passed away yesterday.. he collapsed after he had shortness of breath. innalillahi wainna ilaihi rajiuun…

dlm kita sibuk memndang masalah sendiri, sebenarnya dugaan orang lain lebih besar.. after i received the news, i couldn’t sleep. everybody is going to face the same challenge in the future, death of the loves one, failures, and etc..dunia nie hanyalah tempat dagangan, sementara sahaja.. banyak benda yang kita kena buat.. tak tahula sempat ke tak..

Sabarlah wahai diriku..

menempuhi hidup ini..

Allah menguji hamba2Nya bukan lah untuk bergurau senda, bukan juga untuk menyusahkannya..

Pasti suatu hari nanti, aku akan melihat hikmahnya…

Beratnya tanggungjawab sebagai muslim..

Kadang-kadang rasa tak berdaya..

Kadang-kadang rasa kecewa..

Hendak berhenti, tak masuk akal..

Hendak diteruskan pula, rasa tak mampu..

Aku harus teruskan perjuangan ini..

Mengorak langkah, mentarbiah diri..

Semoga niat ku ikhlas untuk Mu

Semoga ia bukanlah amalan yang sia2 yang hanya membazir masaku sahaja…..

PILIHANRAYA Kampus

October 4th, 2007 by sibah

KUALA LUMPUR, 2 Okt (Harakah) - Kumpulan Pro Mahasiswa berjaya mempertahankan kemenangan di Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia (UIAM).

Pro Mahasiswa memenangi 19 daripada 27 kerusi yang dipertandingkan yang melayakkan mereka untuk terus menerajui kepimpinan Student Representative Council (SRC) sesi 2007/2008.

Daripada 16 kerusi yang dipertandingkan di kampus induk, Gombak pro mahasiswa hanya berjaya merebut 12 kerusi di Kuliyyah Undang-undang, Kejuruteraan, Ilmu Wahyu, Ekonomi, Sains Kemanusian serta tewas di Kuliyyah Teknologi Komunikasi Maklumat dan hanya menang satu kerusi di Kuliyyah Senibina.

Manakala di kampus Kuantan, mereka mendapat tujuh daripada 11 kerusi yang dipertandingkan menerusi kuliyyah Kejururawatan,Kuliyyah Sains dan Kuliyyah Sains Kesihatan Bersekutu.

Namun begitu, mereka hanya berjaya memperolehi satu daripada dua kerusi di Kuliyyah Farmasi dan kalah di Fakulti Perubatan.

Alhamdulillah, Fahmi menang dan juga Safwan. Tak perlu comment la derang pro-mahasiswa/pro-aspirasi.. sume dah tau.. ;-)

  Menurut sumber, insiden kelulusan kabinet Majlis Perwakilan Pelajar UIAM sesi 2006/2007 yang ditangguhkan lebih empat bulan tersebut mungkin akan berulang lagi pada sesi ini.

Bahkan ada juga yang meramalkan bahwa senario tersebut akan menjadi bertambah buruk bagi MPP yang bakal dibentuk pada sesi 2007/2008.
