The Lives Of The Sec 5 Bukhara Girls

Ramadhan kareem!

2011-07-18T02:13:00.006+08:00

Bismillah.
May Allah's peace and blessings be with you my lovely bukhara girls. :)

It is already 18 June/16 nisfu shaaban.
The holy month of Ramadhan is coming real soon, are we prepared yet?
Bagi sesiapa yg belum melunaskan hutang dengan Allah, harap lunaskan secepat mungkin ye. :)

Ummi nak share satu hadith yang ummi punye ustaz selalu share di madrasah aljunied.

قال الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم: مَنْ كَانَ يَوْمُهُ خَيْرًا مِنْ

أَمْسِهِ، فَهُوَ رَابِحٌ، وَمَنْ كَانَ يَوْمُهُ مُسَاوِيًا لِأَمْسِهِ، فَهُوَ

خَاسِرً، وَمَنْ كَانَ يَوْمُهُ شَرًّا مِنْ أَمْسِهِ، فَهُوَ هَالِكٌ

أو كما قال صلى الله عليه وسلم

Yang lebih kurang maksudnya: Barangsiapa yang harinya lebih baik dari sebelumnya, maka dia adalah seorang yang beruntung. Dan barangsiapa yang harinya sama seperti sebelumnya, maka dia adalah orang yang rugi. Dan barangsiapa yang harinya lebih teruk dari sebelumnya, maka dia adalah orang yang binasa.

Lets reflect back what we have done previously. Did I waste too much time watching tv/listen to songs at night when I could have stayed up praying tahajjud or recite the quran? What happened last year that I couldnt even complete the 30juz of the holy quran?

اللهم بارك لنا في رجب وشعبان وبلغنا رمضان

Ya Allah berkatilah kami di bulan rejab dan syaaban dan pertemukanlah kami dengan bulan ramadhan....ameen.

Anyway, one of my asatizah shared this at school:

Nak cari orang soleh, bentuk diri jadi solehah.

That's all from me for now. Till we meet again! :)

Salam.

Have I ever told you? I love you
Such common words, but…
“I love you, I love you”
There are no other words
So I’ll say it again: “I love you"

Allah Never Gives a Trial That is Too Great to Bear

2011-03-20T23:41:00.003+08:00

Human beings are created weak (4:28).

When a sudden calamity or distress befalls us, we easily become overwhelmed and often cry out in despair, wondering why you're the one chosen to face such difficulties that seemed to be too much for you to handle.

The believers should know it for fact that Allah (swt) never puts any burden on a soul that is beyond its ability to bear. Perhaps because we often lose sight of this fact that Allah (swt) mentions this in several places in the Qur’an:

On no soul doth Allah place a burden greater than it can bear. (2:286)

On no soul do We place a burden greater than it can bear: before Us is a
record which clearly shows the truth: they will never be wronged. (23:62)

No burden do We place on any soul but that which it can bear. (6:152)

And those who believe and do good – We do not impose upon any of them a
burden beyond his capacity. (7:42)

This fundamental truth is actually obvious to a believer who reflects. For, if the point is to test one’s level of faith and commitment to Allah (swt), then it would be an injustice to put a burden on a soul that it will surely fail, and Allah (swt) never commits injustice against anyone:

nor is thy Lord ever unjust (in the least) to His servants. (41:46)

Verily Allah will not deal unjustly with man in aught: it is man that
wrongs his own soul. (10:44)

Therefore, no matter how difficult your situation is or how severe his sufferings, you should have absolutely no doubt in your mind that you don't have the ability to deal with the trial. Allah (swt) is Fair and Just. So just:-

1) Put in your best effort.

2) Make lots of du'a

3) Tawakkal

Insyaallah, everything will be fine.

P.S: I miss you guys. I know we're all fighting our own small battles every single day and I hope you're all doing fine.

"A friend is someone
who understands your past,
believes in your future,

just the way you are.”

Begging to hear your voice

Tell me you love me too

'Cause I'd rather just be alone

If I know that I can't have you

who is your lover?

Assalamualaikum. :)

Q: Who give you free oxygen?

A: ALLAH.

Q: Who give you free RIZQ?

A: ALLAH.

Q: Do you need to pay for your hand, nose, leg, body, ear, fingers, heart, lungs, mouth, eyes?

A: NO.

Q: Do you need to pay for the oxygen? An hour for $5?

A: NO.

Q: WHO IS YOUR NUMBER ONE IN YOUR HEART?

A: ALLAH.

Q: ARE YOU SURE?

A: YES I AM.

Q: ARE YOU REALLY SURE THAT ALLAH IS YOUR NUMBER ONE?? WHAT IS YOUR PROOF?

A: I pray, I fast, I love him, I…………

Q: Hold on, before you continue, are you sure you love him?

A: Erm.. yes.

HAAA. Never say you love him if you are not making him your first priority. You can just say, I’m on my way there.

If you OBEY whatever he says, then you can say you love him.. you obey prophet p.b.u.h follow all of his sunnah. Then you can say you love him.

If you LOVE ALLAH, how come

1) He is not the number 1?

2) How come our action does not show that He’s the number 1?

3) How come we are able to forget him, but He’s the one giving us free oxygen?

4) If one day, everything will be over, and He will stay, how come He’s not the number 1?

5) Why we collapsed when we lose something or someone, but why we don’t feel sorry when He is not pleased with us?

The answer is all YES or NO? think.

Do you know that,

1) He want us to be His.

2) When He is number one, then he will continue in our heart.

3) We’re not struggling enough for his love.

4) Our hearts is full of things.

5) He does not get to filthy heart.

6) Things that we bring to the grave is the things that is akhirat.

So, if HE is your number one, you will,

1) Love this because of Him

2) Change your habit for His sake.

Do you know that when you love SOMEONE, you are using your energy?

Do you know that ALLAH won’t come to our heart, if we have HARAM RELATIONSHIP?

Do you know that although if you have HALAL LOVE, eg, LOVE FOR PARENTS, HUSBAND, CHILDREN, you should not make them the number one. They are not suppose to be your number one.

Do you know that you are suppose to make ALLAH your number one?

Do you know the evidence of LOVE, is ACTION?

Do you know that HARAM WAY OF LOVE SHOULD NOT BE AT ALL, BECAUSE, IT WILL MAKE YOUR HEART DIRTY. IT WILL START SMALL, BUT DEVIL WILL ENLARGE IT, AND IT WILL STOP YOU FROM GOING TO ALLAH.

Do you need me to explain what is that? Sure. Haram kind of love is LOVE THE OPPOSITE GENDER IN HARAM WAY. Eg, BGR. COUPLING. MATAE-MATAE.

Do you know that KNOWLEDGE OF GOD WILL NOT COME TO US IF WE HAVE THE FORBIDDEN LOVE? Scary? Yes it is.

Let us all clean our heart from the forbidden love.

Eg, HARAM TV SHOW, HARAM LOVE, LOVE OF DUNIA.

HOW TO STOP?

1) STOP THE BAD INFLUENCE.

2) THE REAL TAUBAH

3) WORSHIP ALLAH TO DO THIS

Do you know that the more sincere you are, the more ALLAH will answer to your question?

Why are we angry to others when they do mistake, but you did not angry to yourself when you make mistake?

Do you know that when you have a passion to be a muslim, ALLAH will help you?

Do you know that if we applying sunnah of PROPHET P.B.U.H , The PROPHET P.B.U.H will help us?

THE MORE SINCERE YOU ARE, YOU WILL FEEL DIFFERENT, AND YOU WILL HAVE THE POWER TO SAY, NO TO ANY SIN! J

Remember this always,

I WAS MADE TO LOVE SOMETHING THAT IS HALAL.

miss you all very much! <3<3<3

Jealousy and its cures

2010-12-29T21:20:00.004+08:00

Are you jealous of your friend because he/she may seem to be more better than you? (Eg more intelligent, wealthy, handsome/beautiful than you to the point that he/she seems to be more attractive than you?) Well, this post may be just for you! :)

Hasad (jealousy and envy) is among the most destructive emotions or feeling which a man may have towards his fellow human being. It causes him to wish evil for others and to be happy when misfortune befalls them. The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) warned against envy by comparing it to fire that completely burns the wood. He (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: "Beware of jealousy, for verily it destroys good deeds the way fire destroys wood." [Abu Dawood]

Hasad is a disease of the heart and it causes impurity to the heart, when Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) was asked who are the best of people? He (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) replied: "the one with a clean heart and truthful tongue." They asked: 'We understand a truthful tongue, but what does a clean heart mean?' he answered: 'It is the heart of one that is pious, pure, and is free of sin, transgressions, hatred and Hasad." [Ibn Majah]

If thoughts of Hasad cross one's mind, he should seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan and busy himself with something that will dispel these insinuating whispers and thoughts.

But if the Shaytan manages to instill Hasad in the hearts, then beware lest you say or do anything which will show Hasad. A person will not be brought to account for whatever crosses his mind, but he will be brought to account for what he says and does.

Shaikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said: "Nobody is free from Hasad, but the noble person hides it whilst the base person shows it." [Amraad al-Quloob]

If you feel that you are jealous of a specific person, then buy him a gift, shake hands with him and give him salaams for Hasad is the result of hatred and the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: "Shake hands, for this will dispel rancour, and exchange gifts and love one another, for this will dispel hatred." [Narrated by Maalik in al-Muwatta (1413)]

Abu Hurayrah (radhi allahu anhu) narrated that the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: "By Allah, in Whose Hand is my soul, you will never enter Paradise until you believe. And you will not believe unless you love one another. May I tell you something that if you do, you may love one another? Spread Salaam amongst yourselves." Ibn Abdul-Barr said: "This proves that Salaam can lift hatred and produce love." [Saheeh Muslim]

taken here.

So let's strive to be better Muslims/Muslimahs, shall we? Our religion needs tightly bonded people who can help to initiate positive changes and create a strong ummah filled with mawaddah and rahmah; and not dispersed individuals who can only think of themselves and hate each other.

P.S: This post serves to remind us all about the importance of Ukhuwwah fillah. It is not intended to offend any person in particular. :)

Aku Tak Sembahyang....Tetapi Aku Berjaya...

by Abu Hanifah on Friday, December 3, 2010 at 5:25pm

Kita tahu bahawa ilmu itu cahaya, dan tidak akan memasuki hati-hati yang gelap, tetapi kita lihat, kawan kita yang berjudi, yang minum arak, boleh berjaya pula, sedangkan kita terkial-kial walaupun sudah berusaha. Kita tahu bahawa, siapa yang berbuat baik, taat kepada ALLAH akan dipermudahkan jalan kehidupannya, tetapi kita lihat, kawan kita ini tidak solat, tetapi bisnesnya menjadi, kita pula hidup dengan penuh cabaran dan duga. Kita juga tahu bahawa, ISLAM ini agama yang benar, tetapi kita sering melihat orang-orang yang bukan ISLAM itu lebih berjaya, dan ummat ISLAM tertindas dalam kehidupan sempit lagi derita.

Orang bertanya kepada saya. Kenapa begitu? Sekarang ini, yang manakah benar? Adakah kita faham selama ini tidak benar?

Maka saya hendak bertanya kepada anda.

Adakah anda tahu apa itu istidraj?

Istidraj ini adalah satu kalimah, yang sering menunjuk kepada keadaan seseorang itu yang terus dilimpahkan rezeki dan kejayaan yang melimpah ruah dalam kehidupannya, walaupun dia bukan hamba ALLAH yang taat, malah seorang pembuat maksiat yang tegar. Kenapa mereka ini dinamakan manusia yang mendapat istidraj? Apakakah maksud istidraj?

Istidraj adalah, apabila ALLAH memberikan kejayaan, harta kekayaan, rezeki yang melimpah ruah untuk manusia itu menjadi lebih jauh dariNya.

Biasanya, manusia yang mendapat istidraj ini adalah mereka yang tidak berusaha menjalankan ISLAM dalam kehidupan, juga tidak berusaha mengenali ALLAH SWT.

Contoh manusia yang mendapat istidraj ini banyak. Kita lihat contoh yang mudah. Qarun. Apakah anda kenal kepada Qarun? Dia ini adalah seorang manusiayang teramat kaya. Diriwayatkan bahawa, kotak yang mengisi kunci kepada gedung-gedung perbendaharaannya tidak mampu diangkat oleh orang-orang yang kuat. Hal ini hendak menyatakan betapa kayanya dia.

Kisah Qarun terdapat di dalam Al-Quran. Hartanya melimpah ruah. Segala perniagaannya menjadi. Segala pelaburannya mengembang. Hartanya makin hari makin bertambah, sedang yang bertambah semalam tidak pula luak digunakan.

Tetapi bila Nabi Musa cuba mengingatkannya berkenaan semua kekayaannya itu datang daripada ALLAH, maka Qarun dengan angkuh menjawab,

“ Tidak, semua ini adalah hasil dari ilmuku”

Lihat. Lihat apa kata Qarun. Tidak, semua ini adalah hasil dari… ILMUKU. Dia nyata semakin jauh dari ALLAH, walaupun kekayaannya menjadi, rezekinya melimpah ruah dan sebagainya. Dia saban waktu memperlekehkan pengikut-pengikut nabi Musa yang terdiri dari orang miskin dan hamba.

Apakah pengakhiran Qarun? Dia akhirnya ditenggelamkan ALLAH ke dalam bumi dengan seluruh hartanya. Kisah ini terdapat di dalam Al-Quran.

Nah… Apakah itu yang kita mahu?

Sebab itulah, saya hendak mengajak saudara-saudari berfikir, apakah yang akan timbul di dalam hati kalian apabila kalian ini jenis yang melazimi dosa-dosa, melakukan maksiat, kemudian kalian berjaya di dalam peperiksaan atau perniagaan. Apakah yang agaknya akan timbul dalam jiwa kalian?

Saya yakin, 99% akan merasa begini, “ Tengok, aku tak solat pun berjaya. Siapa kata solat tu bawa kejayaan?”

Apakah yang akan terjadi kepada anda ketika itu? Anda berjaya, tetapi anda semakin jauh dari ALLAH. Itulah istidraj.

Maka jangan gusar bila tidak berjaya. Cuba lagi. Hubungan keimanan anda dengan ALLAH itulah yang pertama sekali perlu anda perhatikan. Jika anda berjaya membina hubungan keimanan yang baik, insyaALLAH, datanglah badai apa sekalipun, anda akan mampu melaluinya.

Sebenarnya ALLAH suka menguji hamba-hambaNya yang beriman. Terdapat satu kisah yang saya suka baca ketika saya masih kecil.

Terdapat dua orang nelayan. Seorang penyembah berhala, dan seorang lagi muslim yang taat kepada ALLAH. Ketika menebar jala, yang menyembah berhala menyebut nama berhalanya, manakala yang muslim membaca bismillah. Bila jala diangkat, yang menyembah berhala mendapat banyak ikan, manakala yang muslim, hampir sahaja tiada ikan untuknya pada hari itu.

Malaikat yang melihat keadaan itu bertanya kepada ALLAH.

“ Ya ALLAH, apakah yang telah berlaku? HambaMu yang menyekutukanMu, KAU berikan dia rezeki yang banyak, sedangkan hambaMu yang menyebut namaMu, KAU tidak memberikan DIA apa-apa”

ALLAH menjawab,

“ Yang menyekutukanKu, tempatnya memang sudah pasti NERAKA. Maka apalah sangat rezeki yang pasti akan hancur itu jika Kuberikan kepadaNya? Tetapi HambaKu yang beriman itu, AKU hendak mengganjarkanNya syurga, maka AKU suka mengujinya untuk melihat kebenaran imanNya”

Nah, jangan anda kecewa bila diuji, tidak berjaya di dalam peperiksaan walau sudah studi, gagal dalam perniagaan walau kemas menyusun strategi. Itu semua adalah sebahagian dari ujian ALLAH. ALLAH menguji hanya untuk mereka yang dikasihi. Bukankah ALLAH SWT ada berfirman,

“ Apakah kamu mengira KAMI akan membiarkan kamu berkata kami beriman sedangkan kamu belum diuji?…”

Jika gagal terhadap satu-satu perkara, itu perkara itu. Anda masih belum gagal dalam kehidupan. Teruskan usaha, selagi nyawa masih ada. InsyaALLAH ALLAH akan memberikan sesuatu yang bermakna kepada anda. Bersangka baiklah kita kepada PENCIPTA kita.

Maka sebenarnya, bila hidup kita digegarkan dengan masalah, hendaklah kita rasa bersyukur. Tandanya, ALLAH masih lagi dekat dengan kita. Ujian adalah tanda kasih sayang dan perhatianNya kepada kita.

Mustahil anda suka senang sebentar di dunia, di akhirat yang kekal abadi nanti anda merana. Anda mahukan istidraj?

Saya yakin tidak..

Anda tenang sekarang?

Anda wajib untuk tidak berasa tenang jika anda berbuat dosa, dan anda berjaya. Sebab itulah, muhasabah diri itu penting. Untuk kita sentiasa periksa bagaimanakah hubungan kita dengan ALLAH SWT.

Aku berdosa, tetapi aku berjaya…. Berhati-hatilah kita agar jangan sampai lafaz itu, atau lafaz-lafaz yang membawa maksud serupa itu terkeluar dari mulut kita.

Mari kita sama-sama duduk, dan bermuhasabah semula.

God gave me support by giving me YOU

2010-07-15T21:34:00.004+08:00

When we first talked to each other
I knew we would always be friends.
Our friendship has kept on growing
And I'll be here for you to the end.

You listen when I have a problem
And help dry the tears from my face.
You take away my sorrow
And put happiness in its place.

We can't forget the fun we've had
Laughing 'til our faces turn blue.
Talking of things only we find funny
People think we're insane-If they only knew!

I guess this is my way of saying thanks
For catching me when I fall.
Thanks once again for being such a good friend
And being here with me through it all.

- Rachel Ellis

still R21, Jem
I'm really touched by the girl who cried hearing the song. Like a story in a book. which gets a happy ending of course. Smile Always even though you are hurting. Even though it's painful to bear. I LOVE YOU PEOPLE SO MUCH.

When You Look Me In The Eyes

2010-07-13T09:40:00.003+08:00

If the heart is always searching,

Can you ever find a home?

I've been looking for that someone,

I'll never make it on my own.

Dreams can't take the place of loving you,

There's gotta be a million reasons why it's true

When you look me in the eyes,

And tell me that you love me.

Everything's alright,

When you're right here by my side.

When you look me in the eyes,

I catch a glimpse of heaven.

I find my paradise,

When you look me in the eyes.

How long will I be waiting,
To be with you again
Gonna tell you that I love you,

In the best way that I can.

I can't take a day without you here,
You're the light that makes my darkness disappear.

When you look me in the eyes,

And tell me that you love me.

Everything's alright,

When you're right here by my side.

When you look me in the eyes,

I catch a glimpse of heaven.

I find my paradise,

When you look me in the eyes.

More and more, I start to realize,

I can reach my tomorrow,

I can hold my head high,

And it's all because you're by my side.

When you look me in the eyes,

And tell me that you love me.

Everything's alright,

When you're right here by my side.

When I hold you in my arms

I know that it's forever

I just gotta let you know

I never wanna let you go

Cause when you look me in the eyes.

And tell me that you love me.

Everything's alright,

When you're right here by my side.

When you look me in the eyes,

I catch a glimpse of heaven.

I find my paradise,

When you look me in the eyes.

This morning a girl was walking to school when this song started playing. Immediately, without no warning whatsoever, her eyes started to tear.

She was crying. In public.

She never realized how much the song talks about her, her life, and her love for the friends who were with her for 11 years. She never realized how much space the girls of S5B09 occupy in her heart, and the thought of not seeing them everyday makes her heart ache like never before.

She never realized just how much she misses them.

So here's to the princesses of this blog, who are the reason for her happiness, for her smile and for her strength to carry through each day.

Here's to S5B09. You're irreplaceable.

True friendship

2010-06-21T19:54:00.005+08:00

Have you ever wondered why we bond really well with some people?

Do hearts have connections to one another?

Sometimes, a person happens to meet someone whom he or she immediately loves and spontaneously develops some sort of affinity with. The reverse can apply when the same person meets up with another person. The point is one does not know the reason why one feels good toward some people and feels bad toward others. Is there some sort of connection between their souls?

A'ishah, the Prophet's wife, narrated a hadith, thatshe heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), which gives us a glimpse of the nature of the soul and clears some of the vague feelings that we might find:

"Souls are like conscripted soldiers; those whom they recognize, they get along with, and those whom they do not recognize, they will not get along with" (Al-Bukhari).

What this hadith means is that Allah created souls and gave them their qualities. Those of similar qualities will easily be friends when they meet in this life, while those who have different natures are likely to be in conflict. This in fact accounts for endless cases of people getting along together when their apparent circumstances should have kept them well apart. Moreover, it tells us something about what brings good people together and what allows evil ones to flock together and even trust one another, when they know that they are evil at heart.

Al-Khattaabi also commented this hadith:

This getting along with one another has to do with what Allah decreed from the outset about the ultimate destiny of souls, whether they will be among the blessed (in Paradise) or the doomed (in Hell). Souls are of two opposing kinds, and when they meet in this physical world, they will either love or hate one another depending on the way they were created. Good souls will be inclined towards other good souls, and evil souls will be inclined towards other evil souls.

Thus, the souls of righteous people have connection as if they are recruited due to the purification in their hearts; on the contrary, the souls of devils — both humans and Jinn — have connection since they have the same evil thoughts.

That is why Allah says about the believers:

(And (moreover) He hath put affection between their hearts.) (Al-Anfal 8:63)

Taken from here.

May we be among those who are righteous and may our connections remain intact and strong for years to come.

Exam Tips for Students

2010-06-15T17:04:00.003+08:00

Here's something I'd like to share. Hopefully it'll benefit us all.

In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

Praise be to Allaah and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger and upon his family and companions.

The Muslim student puts his trust in Allaah when facing the tests of this world, and he seeks His help whilst following the prescribed means, in accordance with the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “The strong believer is better and is more beloved to Allaah than the weak believer, although both are good. Strive to attain that which will benefit you and seek the help of Allaah, and do not feel helpless.” (Saheeh Muslim, hadeeth no. 2664)

Among those means are the following:
Turning to Allaah by making du’aa’ in any way that is prescribed in Islam, such as saying, “Rabbiy ishrah li sadri wa yassir li amri (O my Lord, expand my chest and make things easy for me).”

Getting used to sleeping early and going to exams on time.

Preparing all required or permitted equipment such as pens, rulers and setsquares, calculators and watches, because being well prepared helps one to answer questions.

Reciting the du’aa’ for leaving the house: “Bismillaah, tawakkaltu ‘ala Allaah, wa laa hawla wa laa quwwata illa Billaah. Allaahumma inni a’oodhu bika an adilla aw udalla, aw azilla aw uzalla, aw azlima aw uzlama, aw ajhala aw yujhala ‘alayya (In the name of Allaah, I put my trust in Allaah, and there is no strength and no power except with Allaah. O Allaah, I seek refuge with You lest I should stray or be led astray, lest I slip (commit a sin unintentionally) or be tripped, lest I oppress or be oppressed, lest I behave foolishly or be treated foolishly).” Do not forget to seek your parents’ approval, for their du’aa’ for you will be answered.

Mention the name of Allaah before you start, for mentioning the name of Allaah is prescribed when beginning any permissible action; this brings blessing, and seeking the help of Allaah is one of the means of strength.

Fear Allaah with regard to your classmates, and do not be affected by their anxiety or fear just before the exam, for anxiety is a contagious disease. Instead, make them feel optimistic by saying good words as prescribed in Islam. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was optimistic when he heard the name of Suhayl (which means “easy”) and he said: “Things have been made easy for you.” He used to like to hear the words ‘Yaa Raashid, when he went out for any purpose. So be optimistic that you and your brothers will pass this exam.

Remembering Allaah (dhikr) dispels anxiety and tension. If something is too difficult for you, then pray to Allaah to make it easy for you. Whenever Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) found something too difficult to understand, he would say, “O You Who taught Ibraaheem, teach me; O You Who caused Sulaymaan to understand, cause me to understand.”

Choose a good place to sit during the exam, if you can. Keep your back straight, and sit on the chair in a healthy manner.

Look over the exam first. Studies advise spending 10% of the exam time in reading the questions carefully, noting the important words and dividing one’s time between the questions.

Plan to answer the easy questions first, then the difficult ones. Whilst reading the questions, write notes and ideas which you can use in your answers later.

Answer questions according to importance.

Start by answering the easy questions which you know. Then move on to the questions which carry high marks, and leave till the end the questions to which you do not know the answers, or which you think will take a long time to produce an answer or which do not carry such high marks.

Take your time to answer, for the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Deliberation is from Allaah and haste is from the Shaytaan.” (A hasan hadeeth. Saheeh al-Jaami, 3011).

Think carefully about the answer and choose the right answer when answering multiple-choice questions. Deal with them in the following manner. If you are sure that you have chosen the right answer, then beware of waswasah (insinuating whispers from the Shaytaan). If you are not sure, then start by eliminating the wrong or unlikely answers, then choose the correct answer based on what you think is most likely to be correct. If you guessed at a correct answer then do not change it unless you are sure that it is wrong – especially if you will lose marks for a wrong answer.
Research indicates that the correct answer is usually that which the student thinks of first.

In written exams, collect your thoughts before you start to answer. Write an outline for your answer with some words which will indicate the ideas which you want to discuss. Then number the ideas in the sequence in which you want to present them.

Write the main points of your answer at the beginning of the line, because this is what the examiner is looking for, and he may not see what he is looking for if it is in the middle of the page and he is in a hurry.

Devote 10% of the time for reviewing your answers. Take your time in reviewing, especially in mathematical problems and writing numbers. Resist the desire to hand in the exam papers quickly, and do not let the fact that some people are leaving early bother you. They may be among the people who have handed in their papers too early.

If you discover after the exam that you answered some questions incorrectly, then take that as a lesson in the importance of being well prepared in the future, and not rushing to answer questions. Accept the will and decree of Allaah and do not fall prey to frustration and despair. Remember the hadeeth of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), “If anything befalls you, do not say, ‘If only I had done such and such.’ Rather say, ‘Qadar Allaah wa maa sha’a kaan (the decree of Allaah and what He wills happened),’ for saying ‘if only’ opens the door for the Shaytaan.” (Saheeh Muslim, and the first part of this hadeeth was mentioned above).

Note that cheating is haraam whether it is in foreign language tests or any other tests. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “Whoever cheats is not one of us.” It is wrongdoing and it is a haraam means of attaining a degree or certificate, etc., that you have no right to. The consensus is that cheating is a kind of cooperation in sin and transgression. So do without that which is haraam, and Allaah will suffice you from His bounty. Reject all offers of haraam things that come to you from others. Whoever gives up a thing for the sake of Allaah, Allaah will compensate him with something better. You have to denounce and resist evil, and tell the authorities about any such thing that you see during the exam, or before or after it. This is not the forbidden kind of slander rather it is denouncing evil which is obligatory.

Advise those who buy or sell questions or post them on the Internet etc., or who prepare cheat notes. Tell them to fear Allaah, and tell them of the ruling on what they are doing and on the money they earn from that. Tell them that the time they are spending in preparing these haraam things, if they spent it in studying, or answering previous exams, or helping one another to understand the subject before the exam, that would be better for them than doing these haraam things.

Remember what you have prepared for the Hereafter, and the questions of the examination in the grave, and how to be saved on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever is saved from the Fire and admitted to

We ask Allaah to make us succeed in this world and cause us to be among those who are victorious and saved in the Hereafter, for He is the All-Hearing Who answers prayer.

Assalamualaikum sisters/dudettes/fatayaat!

Just want to share something with you all.
Got this from one of our seniors(kak ainul, if you all remember).
*hehe maen grab je*
Takdelah niat nak mencuri tapi sekadar berkongsi...
Anyway....

Adam, Mengertilah..

Adam,mengertilah...
Hawa bukanlah insan yg kuat..
bukan juga insan yg bisa menahan nafsu..
tatkala diri diuji, Hawa sering tewas...
tewas dgn godaan syaitan & nafsu sendiri..

Adam,mengertilah...
sungguh, Hawa telah cuba melakukan yg terbaik..
agar diri ini tidak menjadi fitnah dunia...
telah Hawa cuba menjaga diri ini sebaik-baiknya..
Hawa sedaya upaya menjauhkan diri dari tabarruj..
perfume, make up, perhiasan...
telah Hawa elakkan sejauh-jauhnya..
namun mengapa masih Adam tertarik pd Hawa
yg serba kekurangan ini..

Adam,mengertilah...
Hawa ini berjiwa lembut...
sukar untuk Hawa menolak bila Adam meminta...
Hawa tau permintaan Adam
tak mungkin membawa Hawa ke kancah maksiat...
namun, Hawa lemah...
Hawa takut zina hati...

Adam,mengertilah...
setiap kali 'sms' diterima..
Hawa keliru...
ingin sekali Hawa membiarkan sahaja..
tapi Hawa akur tuntutan sahabat...
Hawa tewas...
Hawa reply juga...
mengenangkan Adam adalah sahabat....

Adam,mengertilah...
setiap layanan yg Hawa beri hanya sekadar membantu..
mungkin Hawa adalah antara kasih sayang Allah yg dikurniakan buat Adam..
memudahkan perjalanan hidup Adam..
jgn disalah tafsir apa yg Hawa berikan..

Adam,mengertilah...
Hawa mengharapkan Adam menjaga Hawa..
namun,bukanlah 'couple' yg Hawa pinta...
tp cukuplah sekadar tidak memandang Hawa..
cukuplah sekadar menghormati Hawa sebagai Hawa..
jgn dipinta apa yg tak mampu Hawa berikan..
kerana Hawa milik Allah sepenuhnya...

Adam,mengertilah...

it's saturday morning

it's just a proposal. i've yet to decide on the date cos i need to really come up with a date when the people going are free. oh and, it's really alright if you don't come or you don't wana come if this thing were to be confirmed. it's really up to you people. no hard feelings from me and i hope none from you guys as well.

BIG HUGS TO ALL OF YOU!
(oh, my mom said I can have a birthday party, and since it's more than a month away, I'm currently not planning anything. Haha)

When the tough gets going.

2010-04-29T01:10:00.002+08:00

Hamdanlillah, everybody is now in a school, no matter which school you are in except for Mimin and Raje who is going off on the 1st August. InsyaAllah, most of us, if not all, would be there to send the two of you off. It will be a sad day but until then, let's think about something else.

I have a few certain issues to say. Actually, there's only two. Hahaha.
1) Class outing after MYE, Summer Test, Poly Test (Whatever it is called. Mine is called Understanding Tests. (UTs))
2) Updates from me!! :D
3) Lino's birthday party on or nay?
4) I have nothing else and 4 is actually redundant. Hehe.

1) Please tell me when does all your tests end. I need to make a plan. Heehe. What do you guys prefer to do now? I was thinking maybe we can have some intimate sessions. Book a room (Heheh!) and then we can lepak. I was thinking chalet but we need to be fast! Okay? Sleepover or something if you guys don't mind. Hehh.

I am actually sleepy. Please, I'll edit when time permits. Most probably it's the same. Hhahaha. I is very lazy. Save ah. love you much much.

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

How are you people? This blog is so dead.

I'm bored. First and foremost, I think today's my birthday but I'd love to wish the best to all of you guys in whatever you do. No matter what you do, you'll always be remembered by me. May Allah bless us as He has always do.

I'm sorry I couldn't make it for the class outing. Not that there would be a ripple anyway with or without my presence. I, however, would like to think you guys had an AWESOME time (:

I miss you is so old..but it's not outdated yet..to me..

Guys, I kind of miss you..

Pray for me as I have always prayed for you guys.

Remember me as I have always remember you guys.

Wish me the best as I have always done so for you guys.

Oh, yeah.

I'd love to share a joke with you guys. It's so classic but my brother came up with it by himself.

Why did the boy need a ladder to go to school?

'Cause he needs to get to high school.

*LAUGH*

Oh oh, another one..

What did the wall say to the other?

Let's meet at the corner.

(this one just cracked me up)

*LAUGH*

Guys. Nobody's perfect.

I admit I'm temperamental and crazy.

I also admit that I keep changing.

So I'm sorry for whatever wrongs I've done.

Pardon any of my mistakes throughout our friendship.

I love you.

Oh yeah. I know this might be too much to ask but I'll give this a shot:

Love me the way I love you guys.

..and from the bottom of my heart, I really do love you guys.

Done blabbering. Nyahaa.

Okay. Outta here. Ciao.

the moon and sun would stop orbiting

While the wind blows along,
And the leaves made a song.
I realized I...missed you.
I've been missing you.

As I walked down the lane,
Remembering again,
The reel starts to play,
My thoughts gave away..

I have been missing you,
Every night I think of you.
It seems forever back then.
That the times would never end.

My hair dances to the rythm,
To the symphony of the wind.
Memories came flooding.
And I yearn for the past again.

As the drops beat my skin,
I wondered how you have been,
Are you fine?Are you well?
And they just would not quell.

I have been missing you,
Every night I think of you.
It seems forever back then.
That the times would never end.

As the darkness sets in,
I wondered again,
Was the last time a goodbye?
Or will there be another momont,
To meet up and cry again?

If there's one thing in the world,
I want to say most,
It'll be that I miss you.
I just miss you.

Thanks for the advice and encouraging words. Appreciate it lots.

I just feel like posting 'cause it has been quite some time since I last posted. And before I end my post, there are two things I'd like to share with you girls.
1) Don't feel ashamed or embarrassed to say that you're a Muslim and practise your religion. And,
2) Be proud of it!

XOXO, LOVE!

Regina Spektor - The Call

2010-02-20T22:26:00.002+08:00

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry

I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never
Been this way before

All you can do is try to know
Who your friends are
As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye

Make what we have last forever. We only get friends like these once in a lifetime. They're special. Cherish them.
I just want to say THANK YOU - for being my best friends (yes, you can have more than one).

lots of love,
Lino Jonas

today, we had this after school activity for MLEP students.. MLEP students are malay muslims btw.. so, we kinda have this amazing race where we have to go to stations and do things.. it was ok... until.... we reach a station.
there, one member of each grup has to be a 'model' for lady's wear.. ade this baju and selendang used by penari melayu.. im e only girl in my grup.. then, the 'penjage station' said : ok, awak kene pakai baju ini dan gayakan seperti penari melayu.. dat was ok.. but then she said: dan kalau yang menggayakannya lelaki, dapat markah lebih.. i was shocked since lelaki diharamkan pki baju perempuan kan.. so me being me, tk blh control mulot, said: tapi kan haram lelaki pakai baju perempuan. and u noe wat she said???? she said: tau.. and she laughed..
klaka pe.. dy da tau rupenye and dy tak kesa pon since its fun and funny to see guys in lady's cloths... sanggop buat bende yg haram for the sake of having fun.. dpt extra points lagi..sedey sey.. they are malay muslims. and they noe hukum agame. yet, its like they dont care..i noe its not tht big or anytyng bt still it shows just how they dnt care..
well, i hafta terime all this since im not in madrasah anymore but wat im trying to say is, i wish someone can show all this ppl the rights and wrongs.. not that im so good or nytyng..

Salam girls..
For the past few months,we've been talking about O levels,outings & other related stuffs..
So,for this post i decided to share a story i found while surfing the net..
It's beneficial for each and everyone of us..
renung-renungkanlah!

Long time ago in ancient Greece, there live a man named Socrates, who was highly knowledgeable and an esteemed philosopher. One fine day, a fellow approached him. That person told Socrates that he has some information to tell him about his friend. Before he could even start talking about his friend, Socrates told him to take a test known as the 'Triple Filter Test'.

The first test of the 'Triple Filer Test' was the filter of truth. Socrates asked him if the information he had was the truth. The person said that he had just heard it on the way and was not sure if it was the absolute truth. The second filter was that of goodness. He asked if the information was regarding anything good about his friend. The man said it was actually the opposite. The third filter was that of usefulness. Socrates asked if the information was useful to him in any way. The man replied in the negative.

Socrates then replied that when the information regarding a friend is not true, good or useful, then why it should be conveyed at all.

The moral of the story is that you may always participate in loose gossip, but when it comes to your friends ,it is just not worth it. You know your friends better than others. Therefore, you must avoid talking behind the back of your dearest friends. It only leads to strained relations and shows that you are not reliable or trustworthy as a friend.

well,this is just a reminder for each and everyone of us..
hope that we put an end to it...
especially when we go for tertiary education..
we've known each other for more than 11 years..
so,its easy to let it go..
but things gonna be different there..
you'll meet new friends..& the way they react to this matter will also be different..
you might lose your friends and lose all the trust they have on you people..
so,yeah.you get what i mean right?
hati2 k!

p.s: sorry kalau tenses sume salah! :D

that's all.

Salam!

So, here are the details.

Venue: Cash Studio
Date/Day: 30th January 2010/Saturday
Time: 2 pm @ Cash Studio
Dresscode: Hehehe.

I have yet to confirm how much you guys got to bring. But nothing more than $10, okay? Since the response is good, i hope i ca see most of the faces. I miss you guys terribly. The room is big so don't worry about the space. And please, can somebody bring a birthday cake or something? We'll pay you back (or if it's free, we welcome it so much! haha. hints to syafiq since the day before is your birthday) I think we can bring food since the last time I was there, we had KFC. But I'll reconfirm with you again. Totally not my fault if there's no food and you guys are damn hungry. Let's say, maybe we'll be in that room for about 3 hours, yeah? But I'll reconfirm about the food.

Well, we'll perform zohor prayers at Falah together? It's been damn long since I solat with you guys. Rinduuu. (: So we'll meet at Falah around 1 gitu? Jyeah? Okay, what else?

Oh, Nad pesan something. She said how may of you is excited to ride a boat? One of these days her dad can bring us out to marina barrage waters on his (company's) boat and we can 'cruise'. But we must set the date. I want to see the response. Maybe around February? Tahun Baru Cina? Nyehe. It'll be real fun. For those who's afraid of the water or gets seasick easily can just stay at the barrage and maybe look after things? Because Nad said if you're ot confident, its best if you don't go on the boat. Then we can have another mini picnic. (: (Y) <- this is thumbs up according to Tawn. LOL. Pretty please do tell if you're eggcited or not.

There's another thing going on. Maybe in February also, Wanie's mom is doing facial for some of us. Wanie said to 'ajak ramai-ramai'. It's $25 per session I think and if one's face is like moi, sensitive and all, its $35 per sessio and there's another sessio after that, if I am not mistaken. So, if you think you would like to join, you can contact Wanie personally or me! Wanie's number is o the Class' FB wall. :D

Basically, if you guys want to organize something but don't know when or you guys just don't have the time to do it, please feel free to contact me and I'll try my best to help you guys. (OMG. I soooo should charge!! LOL) I think I'm a pretty good advertiser. (Should really join that advertising and PR, right? HAHA. Don't matter lah.)

Please do tag or comment if FB. Pleaseeee! Thanks. Oh, and the dresscide thinggy? I was just joking. Hehh. D: Have a good day, you all. Hugs and kisses. Mwahmwah. Salam!

Yours with love and warm hugs,
Momo!

May all your dreams come true ...

2010-01-16T15:29:00.008+08:00

Salaam ladies,

Many of you now will be waiting anxiously for your posting results, as your journey into into the future continues. Indeed, the past week had been an overwhelming and thought-provoking one, as you decide where you want to go, what you want to do with your life and how you will make your dreams come true, with the blessings of your parents and Allah of course.

I am not spared either. For the past week, I curiously anticipate the choices that all of you will make and the paths that you would have taken, as my brain simultaneously analyse and reflect upon the results obtained by Secondary 5 cohort 2009. What a year 2009 had been! So many memories to cherish, so many experiences to learn from, and so many lessons to ponder upon.

Please allow me to address each and every single one of you, as all of you have certainly presented me with endless opportunities to be a better teacher, and a better individual.

Amira: Life is full of opportunities, so please do not give up. Identify your strengths, cultivate your passion. With Allah's guidance and blessings, you will succeed.

Fairuz: May Allah give you strength to overcome the challenges in your life. Regardless what happened in the past, it's all in the past. It's more important now to look ahead, and embrace changes. You can change all things for the better, when you change yourself for the better.

Fatin: Late-bloomer. Thanks for believing in yourself. And please continue to believe in yourself. You are not very far away from greater success.

Hanisah: You'll do very well in Aljunied. ie. if you are still staying there. Have confidence in yourself. Immerse yourself in the wealth of knowledge at Aljunied, foster meaningful friendships, disregard everything else that is not worthy.

Mahmudah: So where are you off to? Don't you ever lose sight of setting higher targets for yourself. You are definitely capable of doing better. Regardless what you do, and hope to achieve, make your mom proud of ya, ok!

Mardiah: "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the sweetest and kindest of them all?" Hmmm, need I ask? Do not give up Mardiah. There are many things you can do to improve on your results. There are rooms of potential within you that are still, unlocked.

Nabilah (Jojo): So, what's next? A levels? Science stream? Need help with math or physics ... can call me. Please look after the rest of the Irsyad gang in Innova (hope you all get in!) ... work smart, pray hard!

Dayah Raje: We all need to have a get-together before you and Yasmin leave for Syria. Lunch ke, dinner ke, something. Thanks for making the class of Sec 5 Bukhara 2009 so colourful and vibrant. Just remember, wherever you go, "jaga diri, hiasi peribadi".

Ayse: I am glad to know that you have plans to better your grades. I wish you all the best. I am sure that you have what it takes to make your dreams a reality!

Azlinah: You go girl! So happy for you that you passed your Maths! Your hard work certainly paid off. Regardless what you plan to do in the future, I'm sure that once you set your mind to it, you'll do wonders!

Humaira: Well, what can I say? My target for you next - Dean's List, Diploma in Biomedical Science. Continue to study hard, and stay being a true muslimah!

Nadirah: I hope that you will become a Malay teacher, as what you aspire to be. Never give up. Continue to inspire yourself, your parents, and your siblings.

Sakinah: You did Aljunied proud. You did Irsyad proud. And you certainly did your parents proud. I could see your parents' faces beaming with pride when I met them last week.

Syahiirah: I believe you can better your grades, provided you yourself want to. If you need a lending hand, you can always contact me. Never give up please!

Nabilah (Momo): Your passion for the arts and photography is breath-taking! I am nowhere close! Good luck with your studies! You are certainly one talented individual who can achieve greater things in life, as long as you continue to persevere and be committed in whatever you do.

Syikin: Great results! Certainly a legendary figure in Irsyad's history of most improved students. No need for verification. Musketeer No. 1.

Filzah: You must not lose focus, sieve out all those unnecessary distractions, then you're ready to jump on the bandwagon towards greater success.

Hannah: Your unwavering determination to improve is simply admirable. You are one of those students who convinced me that I made the right decision in staying to become a teacher!

Dayah Tapa: Your smiles melts my heart everytime! I know you have put in tons of hard work preparing for your Os. Do not be disheartened. Keep the faith. Never give up. Identify your strengths, overcome your weaknesses. Allah knows what's best for you.

Zaimah: You are the one and only student of mine who hands in her written work on colourful paper! Thanks for always be so helpful Zaimah. Just keep on persevering, never give up, do whatever it takes to get better grades next time!

Huda: If there's ever an award for the nicest and neatest handwriting, hands down, you are the winner! I hope you will pull yourself together and remain optimistic about your future.

Selasih: You did it girl! B3 for AMaths! Moral of the story ... Don't be too quick to write yourself off yet. You are beaming with potential to create a niche for yourself!

Amalina: May your dream to become a paeditrician come true! You have overcome all odds to survive the Os with flying colours. Keep on believing in yourself. Sacrifice now, success later.

Faatinah: You are so positive about life, I like! I have never said this before, just like many others, I love your singing voice! So, you are staying in Maarif? Study hard ok. Don't fool around ...

Khadijah: Another legendary figure in Irsyad's history of most improved students! Musketeer No. 2. Your undying perseverance and determination will certainly carve many more pathways to success. Well done, Dyja!

Maisurah: You are an inspiration to many others, even to your own family! Continue to believe in yourself, insya-Allah, we look forward to more strings of success from Maiss! Musketeer No. 3.

Maryam: "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the cleverest of them all?" May Allah reward you for all your efforts. Just one thing though sweetie, never underestimate yourself. You are capable of achieving more breakthrough successes! Physics may not be your favourite subject (least favourite huh), but I'm glad you got a distinction for it!

Syazwani: Don't stop Wanee! Continue to work hard, you are worth more than who you really think you are! Grab every opportunity possible to better your grades, and work towards realising your dreams!

Ummi: Steady and strong ... Keep it up. Keep Irsyad's flag flying high in Aljunied ok. Do what you are always good at ... studying hard!

Syafiqah: When in JC, don't forget to be an ambassador for the true Muslimah identity yeah! I will certainly miss your laughters!

Yasmin: "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the most modest and well-mannered of them all?" Good luck in Syria Yasmin! You, undoubtedly, is the best Chairperson I have ever had!

Regardless where you will be going, please remember : Be responsible, take initiative, study consistently and diligently, choose your friends wisely, and don't skip classes! Oh, jangan lupa solat and jaga harga diri.

So, there you go. I am certainly not a woman of many words, just a plain, at times boring, structure-oriented, studious, always striving for perfection, and most of the time, misunderstood, not very artistic, Mathematics, Science and Physics teacher. For the record, this my longest entry ever for a blog, and it's not even my own personal blog. Just can't seem to convince myself to have one. Thanks to you girls for allowing me to pen my thoughts here.

For some of us, success have always caught up with us. For some of us, success is just within our reach, but not quite in our hands. And for some of us, success is still very far away. Allah knows what's best for each and every single one of us. Never be disheartened. Allah will never question us for the 'natijah' of our actions. But He will question us for our efforts.

May Allah guide us all, and make all our affairs easy on us, insya-Allah. Lastly, please forgive me and the rest of the teachers (who have taught you for all these years), for all our weaknesses and shortcomings.

2009 is all in the past. 2010 now ... the stage is all set, time to press the START button again ...

Salam.

Babes, how are you guys? I'm fine, alhamdulillah. Nisa here. I'd like to share with you random stuffs and what I think I'd like to delve in in the future since Akak's endlessly asking people to update. I think it's alright for me to take a step and tell you boring stuff. Haha. Don't sleep yet.

I've not finished babbling lah.

For those curious peeps, Aljunied's fine for me despite my constant whines and embarrasment donning a blue pinnafore but I'm greatful enough that it's not pink or the ugly purple. I'm sorry. No offense. Seriously, I'm sorry. The colours just don't look good on me so I don't liiiiiiiiike. Haha!

To be honest an, Junyd's scary. They've become soooo strict all of a sudden. The teachers there kept repeating that they've had enough. Enough of what pn I tktau. I have to be on my toes most of the time..have to reach school early..have to be alert in class..have to pay attention..have to not be me.. I'm not free and shuckled. Barred from being me in order to attain good impression. I don't ride on daddy's coattails now because I purposely didn't introduce myself properly when I entered. Although some did ask about Abi so I showed only to them my cheekiness. Kwangacem an. Mmglah cari nahas. Tktau plak asl.

I didn't know how to cope when I got in because I found out all my family members tarek diri from that school. Nevertheless, I made new friends and my current friends are still inside so it's okay. I cried a few times because I feel that my Arab's not on par although I understand ap kejada ustz tu bbl. I also felt disheartened because my class is a mixed class. The class yg tk amek Sci. The no hope class. The class yg ad laki. I'm always uncomfortable in Junyd till I lost appetite so I practically don't eat everyday. Drink yeah uh. Tk lapa pn seyh. Ceh. Nothing new about me! Hee(3 Alek uma aru sental itupon tk anyak. To that extent of malu and anxiety.

The reason why I dislike the school is because of the students' attitude..and I can't bear my face reddening now and then psl maluuuuuuuuuu sgt. However, when I came in they were alright although they're unfriendly and give us the cold shoulder. My trick is to try being myself and introduce them who we Irsyadians are. Thank God I survived. Well.. you can say I did. Doing fine lah. Honestly, they're trying to step up and I can see that but there were lots of flaws as well. Kate nk improve but well it ain't a night's work I suppose. Heh(:

The knowledge there is undeniably awesome. I love it. It draws me to school. Not much programs but there was this one session during recess we can go to the library and participate. It's just a normal sharing session where we start off reading zikr or syair together like zaman Rasulullah and sahaabat uh. The teacher at the front on the mini stage shares a story about ulama zaman dulu after that. Gerekny mak ai! New lessons learnt. What an interesting Friday programme.

I've asked people how I look when I'm in Junyd uniform. Do I look any different?? Most of them said, "yeah. You look taller." WOW. Such a deserving plus point for me! Since 18 is the age that ladies'll stop growing. Don't you know? Haha much! Oh. They also said I look older and more kakak2. Tkkn lah kt ni ank2 kecik pt Irsyad an. The first time I wore Jems' tudung pn org kate kt mcm kakak2. Klaka lah korg. Ish. Tknk consider lah tu comment. I'm 17+ and I'm mature but young at heart. Ahem. *clears throat* (InsyaAllah *whispers*) Heh(3

Okay. I didn't like Junyd but why did I choose to enter it? It's because I don't know how my results will turn out to be. I fear that if it doesn't meet my parent's expectations then kt kene uh an. So retake is best. I need a good cert for JC.

Ibu wants me to go JC to become a doctor. Gynae, heart specialist or Neurologist..tkle lain..but I don't want to pon because I've no interest. I want to have numbers around me. The top three occupations in the world are doctors, lawyers and accountants. I did want to become a lawyer but then again, anyak msk nerake an. So that leaves me with accountant. I like it. Really. Ever since I became the Treasurer in Sec2. So jyeah. TaP Ibu tk uke. So I had to have my abgSedare kesygn Ibu pujokkn and my uncle too. So she softened up BUT Abi tknk plak. He hopes for me to graduate in Aljunied and go to Azhar. He's been daydreaming about it. Pestering me about school matters, which he's never done before, everytime he comes back home. He went all silent now when I came back home from Poly openhouses up until now. I know I'm evil. Haha.

Results are launching in. If it does pass the cut-off point for accountancy or banking and financial services or biotechnology or biomedical or pharmaceutical, I'm going to Poly. If tk pass cut-off points but results are okeydokey, I'm heading on to JC. I decided that Ma'arif is my resort if I can't get into Temasek JC or RJC(DUH, man). My cousins are there(3 So I'll pursue Dentistry insyaAllah. Degil eyh, tknk dgr ckp Ibu gk. Her expectations involve human lives. Tkt uh. Gigi tk psl. If I tk pass cut-off points and my results are unbearable, I'll stay in Aljunied and retake along with the other PreU1 Aljunidians. This is my plan but I'm still not sure uh. Korg rase? Cn u elp me out? What're you guys pnye views? KLU krg bace uh nie entry lame giler ma0t pnyr pnjng. Tlg kt kaC pendpt korg uh kay?

..and please don't say, "alaa~ results confirm okay." Do'akan je lah it's gonna turn out great for me..because I've told you guys countless times, I slept during the papers. Utter dissapointment to everyone including myself. Scared uh fail Amaths kape 'cause I didn't do 3/4 of the whole paper. I was tired and I thought I WILL wake up. I ended up sleeping with a pen in my hand until the invigilator announced, "time's up." I didn't do much to my other papers as well. Didn't give my best. Didn't study. Anyak memaen. Sleepsleepsleep. My orals mcm in good condition, I suppose. Malay je rabak. As usual. Pfft..

YG PENTING KT DO'AKN KRG SUME. KRG DO'AKN KT SKALI YER. PLS?

*chuckles evilly*

I love you guys. Pape kt cite agy uh eyh?

Ma'ssalaamah, korg *winks*

Nabilah Moen. Love.

2010-01-05T13:54:00.002+08:00

I was here a lot of times but was really sad that there wasnt anyone who posted. Well, courtesy starts with you. Haha. In other words, I'll let the ball rolling. :D

On the events of the open days, I think we should go together. It made us feel more safer in a way, yeah? Plus, everything wil be a new stuff. I don't recommend big numbers (Imagine all 20+ of us) but we shoud all go together. Well, I need voyes! Since Singapore is big (Hello, it is, okay?) and both Polys and Jaysees are all overthe map, we have to split and report to each other. I personally would like to go to some of the Jaysees and Polys I am interested in. I mean, it would be he same, right? I just need your input. Who wants to go to which poly or jaysee. Asap? I will be the one doing the plan lah. (:

We'll go to the Polys first since the Polys' dates are nearer. The Polys are:
- Temasek (Which is at Tampines, yes?)
- Nanyang (Which is near Ang Mo Kio? I honestly dont know) There is a night open house on the 8th.
- Ngee Ann (Which is at Bukit Timah)
- Singapore (Which is at Dover)
- Republic (The one at Woodlands)

All of the above open houses are dated on the 7th till 9th. From 11 am to 6 pm except for Temasek. Theirs are from 12 pm to 5 pm on 7th and 8th and on the 9th, from 11 am to 5 pm. The night open house at Nanyang is from 6 pm to 8 pm.

(OMG. CAN JUST SEE SYAFIQ'S POST, RIGHT?!) So, input people, input!!!

Here's a shout out to people that I really love you guys. (:

Thinking of you

2009-12-30T19:11:00.009+08:00

Your beloved Amalina Jonas (RN: 24) is going to miss...
(in random order)

Sharing books with Nurul Hannah, Nurul Zaimah, Siti Faatinah & Nurnabilah
Talking about Jonas Brothers (and other stuff) and sometimes laughing at them with Siti Maryam and Nurul Hidayah
The jokes of Raja Hidayah and Nabilah (they make me laugh no matter how lame they are)
Discovering a different side to people like Siti Maryam and Ummu Yasmin.
Camwhoring with everyone.
Bugging people with Nurnabilah
Being bugged by Nur Sakinah
Singing with Ummu Syafiqah and Siti Faatinah.
Constantly correcting people's English (sorry eh. force of habit. I didn't mean to appear smug or anything.)
Laughing out loud in class(no matter how much it annoys people. Again, I apologize)
People constantly asking, "Bile buku awak nak habes? Kite nak bace." (haha. Ask again in ten years, kay?)
Saying my infamous line, "What is wrong with you?!"
Jumping around in class.
Acting silly with Nurul Hannah, Ummi Salamah and Fatin Syafiqah.
Playing random games at any point of time (TONGKANG TONGKANG)
Laughing at a certain teacher's antics (ahem).
Sharing jokes with some people that other people cannot understand (great minds think alike)
Hugging Amira, Fairuz, Hanisah, Fatin, Mahmudah, Mardiah, Nabilah, Noor Hidayah, Nur Ayse, Nur Azlinah, Nur Humaira, Nur Nadhirah, Nur Sakinah, Nur Syahiirah, Nurnabilah, Nurul Asyikin, Nurul Filzah, Nurul Hannah, Nurul Hidayah, Nurulhuda, Nurul Zaimah, Selasih, Siti Faatinah, Siti Khadijah, Siti Maisurah, Siti Maryam, Syazwani, Ummi Salamah, Ummu Syafiqah and Ummu Yasmin.
My classmates groaning every time I say something Jonas-related.
The sharing-slash-crying-slash-confessing sessions.
Seeing the joy on their faces when I bring apple pie.
Running down to the canteen every time the bell rings for recess - no matter if we were on the second or seventh floor.
Asking "Nak makan ape ah?" every recess time.
Qiyam - in general.
Racing to the auditorium to chope the 'good' seats.
Joking with/ about teachers.
Agreeing how boys suck sometimes (or all the time, really)
Conversations from opposite sides of a room - that is, shouting.
Reading the end-of-school doa at the top of our lungs - and collapsing into laughter after that.
Hanging out in the class after school.
People moaning and groaning and rushing to the water cooler after climbing seven stories.
Our school with all its glory.
YOUR smiles.
YOUR laughter.
YOUR comfort that you give so selflessly.
All the fun we had.
All the tears and laughter we shared.
All the love we...er...nurtured. (tak rhyme ah!)

Bottom line is, I'M GONNA MISS YOU ALL!!
Hope you all will have a great life ahead.
(if your name is not mentioned, please don't be offended! I LOVE YOU TOO! =))
Oh, and Nick said hi to everybody ;D

"Cause you know, we're INSEPARABLE."

Assalamualaikum!
Since nobody is updating, i am going to.

Korang ade byk bende kite nak cakap!!!!!!
1- I miss you all!!! Too bad some werent able to go to jb last time =(

2- This tuesday ade picnic for s509!
Where: Pasir Ris(pit 44)
Time: 10-3(tak silap)
What to bring: Yourself. Everything else has been settled. Under cik yati. Jom heboh!
Kalau korang tak pegi abe mengemo-rindu tak jumpe kawan jangan ckp tak diajak eh hehehehe.

3- While some are already busy working, the rest of us are still clueless of what to after O and umm, jobless as in money-less as in income-less(you get what i mean) Of course the amount we will receive might not be the same as those who are working but enough for you to spend throughout the holidays.

Suggestions:
a) You may want to help our school sell the briyani amal coupon at masjids every friday. Kalau nak blg kite. Boleh dapat income/commission lah jugak dari tak buat pape membuta je kat uma kan haha.

b) Watch the sea games! Who knows you might gain new information on some sports ~~or just drool at your eye-candies HAHA~~ 9-18 december. Support Team Singapore! Support dayyan haha!

c) Errm study in preparation for the tertiary level?

d) Watch dramas online! I certainly confirm that this will kill your time.

Yayy! I'm done now.

Jangan lupe bebanyak doa!
Kalau nak have fun ingat2 sikit, O level result belom klua!

Salamah says salamun alaikum!
=DDDD

JB Trip

2009-11-23T13:01:00.002+08:00

Salam to all!
:) Am glad that you people are so excited about the jb trip. Yes, Maryam, that was a good post -you can never be too careful... Myself? :)
Okay, urgent things first -
1. Train time
we checked out the time at Danga Mall and apparently, the Train leaves Singapore at 7.40 a.m and will reach jb about an hour later. So you'll reach jb at about 9.00 a.m
The next train is at 2.00 p.m. This will cost more, at about SG6.
Question: If you come as early as 9.00, then all of you have to camp out at my place first, because shops don't open until after 11.00 Which means you'll be having breakfast at my place.
If you take the two o'clock train, you will reach Danga Mall at about 3.00 p.m - and that would of course give you less time to do ALL the things you want to do.
I don't mind you coming at 9.00 - just make sure you be there at Tg Pagar stationby 7.15 a.m. latest.
The other alternative is to take the SBS bus, at your own time. :) We can wait for you people at CIQ.

What to do
Bowling is about RM2 ++ per game, minus the socks and shoes for rental.
Archery: RM5 for 12 arrows (for RM50, you can have 150 arrows shared among 12 people - more economical)
Paintball - around RM20 per person (yes, a bit on the expensive side)

Going back
Last place would be Jusco, Bukit Indah.
there is a CW bus that goes back to Jurong Interchange. You can take this bus straight home and then disperse from Jurong. I haven't check when is the last bus leaving.

Ok, please let me know your final timing.
Please give my number to your parents, in case they need assurance that their anak2 are really with me. Those who don't have my number, please get it from those who have, notably Dayah Raje, our Liason Officer - :)

Happy discussing and deciding!

2009-11-22T01:50:00.006+08:00

This post is specially dedicated to Naufal Bin Rahman (: Hehe. No laa. I actually promised him to fill him in with what we discussed at Dayah Raje's, so, this post is for Naufal and also for those who are going or maaaaaybe going to Mdm B's.

When? Saturday, 28th November 2009.

ONE: TIMING.

Be at Tanjung Pagar Mrt Station by 730am latest. && ssape yg tros g tpt ktm, be there by 815am latest. Take note. Sape lmbt kte tinggal. I mean, we can wait for you, but the keretapi can't. So if u tertinggal, then it's yr fault. Bg ssiape yg slalu lmbt kaaan, sedarlaaa cket eh. Please. I want u all to go, really. So jgn buat prangai k? Thanks (; We'll back at Singapore latest by 10pm. Hehe. Kalau sape yg kne alek lagi awal, bilang k?

TWO: MONEYMONEYMONEY.

Naufal suggested this.

Yg compulsory: $5 utk train(pegi) & $5 utk train(balek) & $5 utk mkn.

Yg optional: $10 utk shopping? Hmm. Suke ati korg ah. Pape yg compulsory tu yg korg patot bwk. Jgn nnt ade yg ngadu tk cukop duet ke ape. I mean, klo sorg bole la. Tp klo da sume tk cukop duet nk alek, sape nk g bayarkn kaaaan. Sume da besar kan. So pandai2 la plan k? (: && klo nk tuka duet, nanti kteorg tuka duet ssame! sbb klo tuka cket2, nanti rugi.

THREE: PAKAIAN.

Wear something light & comfortable. && I suggest that all of u bring extra clothings because we'll be spending the whole day at Msia kn. Furthermore, there'll be some activities so tkt korg sume berpeluh. Unless korg bole pakai the same thing for more than 12 hours uh. Ewwww. Haha. So just bring extra clothings k? Pakaian dalam, towel, & selainnye. Utk pmpn yg tk slt, pandai2 bwk extra! Jgn da smpi sane aru nk terkial-kial mntk kwn, ok?

On this coming wednesday, Dayah Raja, myself & 3 of the guys nk g bli brg(u all know brg ape right, jst keep to yrself.). So I need those who are going to contribute a dollar or two. Is that ok? I think this is all for now. Anything pls msg me at my num. ok?

May peace be upon u.

brought to u by Nurul Asyikin ((:

I'm too excited for the trip, hope u guys are too ^_^

Maryam's eighteenth post.

2009-11-19T19:42:00.010+08:00

Hello people. Since you're all hyped up about Johor and KTM, especially, I have taken the initiative to check it out.

Here, I am going to tell you:
1) How to get to KTM Tanjong Pagar (Tanjong Pagar Railway Station)
2) How much tickets will cost
3) How we will go about doing it all

1)How to get to KTM Tanjong Pagar (Tanjong Pagar Railway Station)
If you alight at Tanjong Pagar MRT Station, you will have to take the bus 10. To take the bus 10, you will have to board the bus on the other side of the station. Like this.

(CLICK CLICK TO ENLARGE ALL PHOTOS IN THIS POST!)

It'll be a 5-8 minutes ride max. And you will alight opposite Tanjong Pagar Railway Station, like here, the bustop with a stickman around it okay, NOT the one with the END thumbtack.

But, if you decide to be healthy and save 55 cents, you can take a 20-25 minute walk from Tanjong Pagar, and here is the map.

You people can see the Start and End thumbtacks right? So, yeah, plan your route along okay.

2) How much tickets will cost.
I check out this website HERE(click it!) and it says that the fare from Tanjong Pagar Railway Station to Danga City Mall is SGD$3 and the return fare from Danga City Mall to Tanjong Pagar Railway Station is RM3. DO NOTE THE DIFFERENT CURRENCIES USED.

BUT there is a possibility that the SGD$3 and RM3 fares are just promotional prices, according to the forum on the abovementioned website. One man said he had to pay SGD$6 to get to Danga City Mall from Tanjong Pagar Railway Station, so yeah..

And here is the train schedule. I think it's worrying. Or maybe it's because I don't know how to read schedules. You can either enlarge the photo below or just click HERE.

3) How do we go about it
There's also a thread in the abovementioned forum in the above-abovementioned website about the whole process of immigration clearances when taking the KTM. Since I don't think most of you clicked on the link, I'll just post it here, so we won't get confused.

THIS IS FROM TANJONG PAGAR KTM TO DANGA CITY MALL.
1. Go to Tanjong Pagar KTM train station. Nearest MRT is Tanjong Pagar, but still need to walk aboutt 20 mins to the KTM station.
2. Purchase the train ticket there for whichever train you intend to take.
3. Clear the Malaysia Immigration at the Tanjung Pagar station. (Your passport will not be stamped. They will stamp it on the white immigration card instead.) If you don't have the white card, just request from the officer. He should be walking around asking if you need one.
4. Clear custom and board the train.
5. At the Woodlands checkpoint, all passengers must disembark the train.
6. After clearing immigration, you re-board the train (have to wait for 30mins or so at the immigration hall).
7. Takes a few mins to reach JB KTM station. The train will stop for a short while.
8. No need to get off the train. You have already cleared the M’sia immigration at Tanjung Pagar, remember?

THIS IS FROM DANGA CITY MALL TO TANJNG PAGAR KTM/SINGAPORE.
1. Get the ticket and board the train from Danga City Mall.
2. When reaching JB train station, you don’t need to disembark the train. The immigration officers will go on board the train to check your passports (Isn't this nice? I think this is the only immigration point that, the officers come over to you, rather than you go over to them. You don't have to stand in queue to clear immigration.)
3. When the train reaches Woodlands checkpoint, you have to disembark the train to clear SG immigration & custom.
4. If you stay in the northern part of SG, you can choose to exit from the SG CIQ to catch taxi/bus to your home.
5. If you stay in the southern part, then u just wait to re-board the train
6. The ride from Woodlands checkpoint to Tanjong Pagar takes abt 20-30mins.
7. From there, home sweet home….

SO PEOPLE. Sigh, am I kancheong or what? Ah never mind. Hope you guys have an idea on how to go about it till we arrive safely in Johor. =D

and maryam was here.

Picnic at East Coast - FYI

2009-11-13T12:03:00.007+08:00

Salaam girls

So sorry cant join you for picnic this sat. it's a working saturday for us teachers, unfortunately.

in case you may find the following info useful (since i always go to EC on weekends),

1. the picnic area near KFC is better. lesser ppl, prob because its more accessible for those with transport. but nicer trees (more shade) and beach view, cleaner grass areas. ade jetty there, and better swimming areas. ade bicycle rental kiosk also there. but slightly more expensive than the other ones.

2. the picnic area near the hawker centre is also not too bad. but more crowded. pun ade bicycle rental kiosk. lesser trees, so less shade for picnic. quite sandy tho. food at hawker centre is good, affordable.

3. the picnic area near McD very crowded. of course, many eateries, ade bowling. but i don normally have my picnics there. just bcos too many ppl in that area.

anyway, enjoy yourself! miss you all ...

more updates

2009-11-13T03:03:00.002+08:00

SALAM!

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! (okay, hugs and flying kissess!!!)

Updates about the picnic:

Cume beberape orang je yang dah reply kite and it is so ternet. *sigh. But! It's okay. Soooo, here's the detail:

Date: 14th of November
Venue: Botanical Garden / East Coast Park (This, I willl update further tomorrow after I get back home after celebrating my freedom, baby!)
Time: 10 am sharp. (Sebagai latecomer yang popular antare korang, kite try datang awal. sedaye upaye dengan kuasaNya kite akan datang awal. So, korang cube takmo lambat! kay?)

Sekarang, kite tau yang filzah akan bawak egg, mayo and mash potato or something like that. Oh, it's mash potato egg with mayo, I just checked. And Mary is bringing tuna sandwiches. Syikin is bringing something but I have no idea. HAHA. myself will be bringing mats and whatnots. Maybe brownie if I'm not lazy. (Alah, brownie instant je. pernah dengar betty crockers(entah macam mane spelling die lah)? HAHA yes!) And I need people to bring drinks.

Okay, this is important.
1) BRING YOUR OWN CUTLERY. SUDU, GARFU DAN SEWAKTU DENGANNYE. CAWAN PON BOLEH. SAVE THE EARTH!

2) MESTI BAWAK SOMETHING. BELEN KUEH RAYE PON JADILAH. TAPI MESTI BAWAK SOMETHING. SEBAB TAK FAIR KALAU SIKIT JE YANG BAWAK BARANG.

3) IN CASE HUJAN, BAWALAH PAYUNG ATAU RAINCOAT. NAK BAWA EXTRA KAIN BAJU PON TAKPE. KORANG YANG TANGGUNG EH KALAU BASAH. (jangan salahkan kiteeee)

4) GOOOOOD LUCK CHEMISTS! ALL THE BEST!! :D

okay, dah. salam!!!!!!!

hmm, i read the post before nabilah(e cute and what??), and kte btl2 tersentak. tak sangke pulak ade yang nak tules something like that. well, heres something from me. i used to fyl that before. used to(tapi kte tak tules kat blog lar). i kept feeling sad for myself, feeling that nobody really cared about me. that evrybody frgt me. then one day, i looked pass my friends, and i realised theres still someone, who was waiting for me to come to him, who was waiting for me to cry to him, someone who never frgt me. and that someone is Allah. you have to rmmbr that Allah is always there with you, n that you will never be alone. how can you say u are lonely if Allah teman awak? kte bukan nak preech(betol tk spelling?) or anything. its just that i want you-who-write-that to know that evrybdy will soon go their sprt ways and lyv u. but not Allah. dont hold on to a person so tightly u never wanna release. istead, hold on tightly to Allah. He will never led go unless you let go of Him. now uv got someone by ur side, never lyvyng u, never forgttng you, just the way u want sm1 to do.
do u noe that evrytyme u v got a problem, u share it with ur friend, all they can do is feel sad for u and say :kesiannye wak, kalau kte boley tolong kte da tolong. but thats that. they cannot help. tapi Allah, kalau awk bilang Allah masaalah awak, awk nagis pade Allah, awak mintak Allah tolong awak, He will dfntly help you. Ingat ayat Quran tu :Berdoalah padaku maka aku akan kabulkan. there, go and ask Allah to help you, to give you peace in e mind. By luahkan perasaan awak kat blog, u wont be helping yourself. u'll only create more problem 4 urself. luahkan pade Allah. iv done so and it felt great. setiap yang terjadi tu ade hikmahnye and Allah je yang tau hikma disebalik ape yang awak rase.

kte tau krg da penat kan bace, macam da takde bende lain si sakinah nie nak post.. tapi well, itu pendapat and pendirian kte. srry kalau ade terkasar or anytyng, didnt myn to hurt any feelings. takecare dear frends..and Amalina,again, sry :)

Salam.

Momo hereeeee. HI! HI! HI! HI!

Here's a reply to the person below. I know how it feels. Yes, I do. But you know what I learned? It's how much it affects us in anyway. I learned that people have their own lives. Because we are so used to seeing each other everyday, we're attached somehow but we can't have them for us and only us. Give and take. Yes, Nisa. This is from a person who was crying her lungs out on the phone with you last night. Don't take heart in whatever that happened. It's for a reason. <3

AAAAANYWAY, do you guys know what happen to our class fund? HAHA. (I have an idea how we could use it. Nyehehehe) Wells, here's a few things to clarify:
1) The yearbook people, the yearbook!! 15 buckeroos to those who have not pay up. to Me or Lino should be alright. (Please, just prepare another 15 buckeroos)
2) On the 14th, the picnic is going to be at East Coast. Soooo, we shall indulge ourselves in good food. Potluck please. Be there at about 11. Unfortunately, I could not find any chalet to be booked. However, if you want to plan sleepovers, it's at your own risk. *winks Since I'm into formsprings (Well, I know nuts about them but it seems nice and this fella wants to try it out) whoever's going, please RSVP (reply lah) here.
3) JAYBEEEEEEEEEEEE. Who's going? Tentative dates are 5th, 15th and 28th. :DD
4) Do you guys want a cake on the 14th? I know this really cool place to do a cake. Yes. I'll volunteer to do it. Just that I need everybody to contribute $2. Theme? NYEHE. COLOURS!
5) SESAPE YANG TAK BOLEH KE JAYBEE KERANA PASSPORT TAK DAPAT NAK RENEW SEBAB MAHAL, SILA BERITAHU. KALAU DUIT CLASSFUND CUKUP, DAN YANG LAIN TAK KESAH, MUNGKIN BOLEH BAGI2 DAN GUNAKAN. (At least dapat pahalaa) :D

In case you guys perasan, yes, I'm going all out for the party. HAHAHA. Super power unleashed! (Teringat kat dalam MRT dhn Mary and Hannah. GOKUUUU. Okay tak penting.) I'm thinking balloons. No party poppers and party hats because it's expensive already. Kalau aku kaya takpe juga. (Hell, I'm thinking goody bagszxszxs) Sape nak pool out buckeroos? PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE! Pass around the message yo!

AAAANYWAY! Kite harap korang dapat berjumpa dengan si cantik manis lagi lemah lembut cik Nurnabilah. :D CAN'T WAIT TO MEET YOU GUYS ON THE 14TH! *HUGSSSSS.

HI! HI! HI! HI! HI! HI! HI! HI! HI! HI! HI! HI! HI! HI! HI! HI! HI! HI! HI! HI! HI!
Salam.

Heyho.

Salaam.

I'm here to let out. I'm feeling a lot lonely these days. I have friends but none whom I can call one of my own. Some are busy playing around with their sweethearts. Some are busy with their own lives. Some are having fun.

I'm proud to say that hey, you guys forgot about me. Glad to know I have a jolly load of 'friends' like you guys. I'm tired of having to be the one yang tk tawu malu mintak ajak klua. I am sick of always being forgotten.

I ask some out to study but none wants to study with me. I know. Pathetic much? I had to go search for people who wants to study wimme. Thanks ______.

A very loud shout-out to all my beloveds, "please remember me?"
Yeah. I cry. We all do. To the extent of having someone to ask me out to study even is something very rare.

Hey guys. To my 'friends' who call me their 'friends', please spare me a text. You can use me if you'd like. Yeah. I do feel like cursing. I am of course, selling myself low and cheap. God. Best nyer, kwn kt ni mcm. Biken panas aaaaaaaaah....

I know I sound unreasonable but heck I don't know how to put things in words. Can you guys like cheer me up or something? 'Cause I know that's what friends are for, right? Erm..Mmg ni tktau malu kan kan kan? But I'm not egoistic y'know. I just feel rather sad. I'm really..tsk..sad..

Bottling up's what I do but sometimes I want people to stop stepping on me..and not to forget who I ever was to anyone in you guys' hearts. Do I mean anything? At ALL? Not seeking attention but sesape yang terase, uatlah pe yg patot.

I'm speaking up. Like finally.
Sorry if this post is offensive but jyeah..I just hope somebody notices me..crying over here..Yup. no use. Kene blang baru mau jalan. Kalau tk, tkde yg gerak.

pffft.....tkper lah..used to it. Oh. I'm not going to say who I am. Just try figuring out who's been out all this while.If you care. I'm sure you guys tkkn tau pn kan?

Smile. Smile. Smile!

One suicide victim who committed suicide by jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge left behind a note saying: “I’m going to walk to the bridge. If one person smiles at me on the way, I will not jump.”

The power of a smile.:D SMILE ALWAYS, DARLING.

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.

Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.

When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.

Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said,
"Richness, can you take me with you?"
Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."

Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!"
"I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.

Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you."
"Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"

Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.

Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder,

Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who Helped me?"
"It was Time," Knowledge answered.
"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is."

GOOD LUCK FOR YOUR O's!

Dua For Distress and Grief

This is based on the following saheeh hadeeth reported by Imaam Ahmad (translation adapted from www.islam-qa.com; see question 1392):

The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘There is nobody who is afflicted with distress or grief and who says:

“Allaahumma inni ‘abduka wa ibn ‘abdika wa ibn amatika, naasiyati bi yadika maadin fiyya hukmuka ‘adlun fiyya qadaa’uka, as’aluka bi kulli ismin huwa laka sammayta bihi nafsaka aw ‘allamtahu ahadan min khalqika aw anzaltahu fi kitaabika aw asta’tharta bihi fi ‘ilmi al-ghaybi ‘indaka an taj’al al-Qur’aana rabee’a qalbi wa noor sadri wa jilaa’a huzni wa dhihaaba hammi.’

‘O Allaah, I am Your slave, son of Your slave, son of Your maidservant, my forelock is in Your hand, Your command over me is ever executed and Your decree over me is just. I ask You by every name belonging to You which You have named Yourself with, or which you revealed in Your Book, or which You taught to any of Your creation, or which You have preserved in the knowledge of the Unseen with You, that You make the Qur’aan the life of my heart and the light of my breast, and a departure for my sorrow and a release for my anxiety,” – but Allaah will take away his distress and grief, and replace it with ease.’ He was asked, ‘O Messenger of Allaah, should we not learn it?’ He said, ‘Of course, whoever hears it should learn it.’

To all sweet princesses of Sec 5 Bukhara 2009 ...

You are Sixteen, Going on Seventeen ...

You wait, little girl, on an empty stage
For fate to turn the light on
Your life, little girl, is an empty page
That men will want to write on

You are sixteen going on seventeen
Baby, it's time to think
Better beware, be canny and careful
Baby, you're on the brink

You are sixteen going on seventeen
Fellows will fall in line
Eager young lads and rogues and cads
Will offer you food and wine

Totally unprepared are you
To face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared are you
Of things beyond your ken

You need someone older an wiser
Telling you what to do
I am seventeen going on eighteen
I'll take care of you

I am sixteen going on seventeen
I know that I'm naive
Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet
And willingly I believe

I am sixteen going on seventeen
Innocent as a rose
Bachelor dandies, drinkers of brandies
What do I know of those

Totally unprepared am I
To face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared am I
Of things beyond my ken

I need someone older and wiser
Telling me what to do
You are seventeen going on eighteen
I'll depend on you

Song from "Sound of Music'

May Allah guide us all always ...

Salaam sayang, salaam ukhuwwah ...
Mdm Su

Because I miss you

2009-10-10T17:36:00.002+08:00

YOU GIRLS MEAN THE WORLD TO ME!

How long will I be waiting
To be with you again?
To come and tell you that I LOVE YOU
In the best way that I can
I can't take a day without you here
You're the light that makes my darkness disappear

More and more
I start to realize
I can reach my tomorrow
I can hold my head up high
And it's all because you're by my side.

Assalamualaikum kepada sahabat-sahabatku yang tercinta.
Pertama kali aku ingin memohon maaf di atas salah dan silap ku. Halalkan makan minum ku.

Kedua kalau ada yang kte terhutang and lupa nak bayar, do claim or halalkan.=) and kte dah
halalkan segala yang kte pernah belanje makan, air ke pinjam duit ke.=)

Ketiga kte nk awk semua tau, yang walaupun, korg ada buat salah kt kte, kte kadang2 tak ingat ape salah tu. so, everytime kalau awk mintak maaf, kte tk tau nk respond ape. haha. =) unless, kalau salah yang awk buat tu, major ah. sampai melibatkan maruah. dats it. haha.=p

Keempat, kte tau kte yang adaaaaaaaaaaa banyak salah kt korg. because, kte suke kcu korg.
and kadang-kadang kte bile tipu2 tu, kte ingatkan korg tau kte main2.. skali korg take it seriously lah. im sorry okayy?*pathetic face*

Hidupku bagai tiada lengkapnya,
Hinggalah kau muncul membawa sinar harapan..

Kau lah guru..
Akan ku sanjungmu seperti ibu ayahku..
Kerna kau lah pembimbing,
Kau lah pendidik,
Kau lah petunjuk perjalananku ini..
Oh guru..

Kau yang mencurahkan ilmumu padaku..
Takkan pernah ku lupakan jasamu padaku..
Ohh..

Salaam.
Kalian2 yg ku syg sgt kan, kt nk blang korg something kan.

O Level is making its' way, ladies! Plus, mock exams are irritatingly there to hinder me off my revisions and stuff. Seriously. Where is the stand down?! Never mind. It's part of my revision. Haha(: *positive thinking*

Problems are freakingly irritating. I've never been this humiliated in my life. Having so many problems to cope with. A new problem of mine's resitting O's. So jyeah. I want to re-sit for my O's. I realised that I don't want to fail or get results that I don't think I deserve out of ten years of education. Although I wanted to become a nurse so ITE's my new crib but I'm pretty sure my parents would love to kill me if I made that choice. So Aljunied's next on the list even if I don't like ti there and my parents wouldn't like it too but they can't possibly say, "being an ustazah is wrong! Don't go to Aljunied and ruin yourself!". Anyway, I've flunked my life. Newsflash, girls! I'm so relaxing and I don't know why I'm not kicking behinds. I'm suppose to be happy. So I can focus.

Right now, I'm an angry girl. I feel like I'm going to fall back into the pits of dejection. Again. I'm here to tell you, I give up..for this O's but not for the next (that I think I'll be restitting for). I guess I'm not exactly giving up. I'm just too tired. I'm really tired.

I don't need anymore crap. Not from you ladies as well. I'm warning you.

Oh, yeah. Graduation's also coming close. Don't worry. When we die, we'll still meet. True kan? However, I'm not the kind of person who can live with just a family and nothing else so please eh. Korg WAJIB add me at MSN and Facebook (which I think I'll be deleting pn taP tgk kwn dulu). I actually have this blog at blogspot.com. Private. Only for me to pen down stuff. Made it because a friend wants me to. Maybe thinking of moving to onsugar? I don't know..but whatever it is, if I unprivatekn bende ala tu, korg WAJIB link, okay?

Oh. Blog pt space.live.com tu private. Korg kalau tkt kt reject permission, jgn harap nk bace or even request.

Korg!! Kt tgh bingit and stress!! Sungguh serious sumpah swear!! Sape tk eh?!! Kt tertekan gituks. Siap uh korg. The first to feel the heat from my venting. Chey~

MCM PHM.

Ramadhan has ended

2009-09-20T20:30:00.004+08:00

Selamat Hari Raya semua. Minal aidil wal faizin wal maqbulin. Berikut adalah sesuatu yang saya ingin kongsi bersama, sebagai peringatan kepada semua termasuk diri saya sendiri. It's a copy-paste, mind you.

“Barangsiapa berpuasa penuh di bulan Ramadhan lalu menyambungnya dengan (puasa) enam hari di bulan Syawal, maka (pahalanya) seperti ia berpuasa selama satu tahun.” (HR. Muslim).

Imam Ahmad dan An-Nasa’i, meriwayatkan dari Tsauban, Nabi shallallahu ‘alaihi wasalllam bersabda: “Puasa Ramadhan (ganjarannya) sebanding dengan (puasa) sepuluh bulan, sedangkan puasa enam hari (di bulan Syawal, pahalanya) sebanding dengan (puasa) dua bulan, maka itulah bagaikan berpuasa selama setahun penuh.” (Hadith riwayat Ibnu Khuzaimah dan Ibnu Hibban dalam “Shahih” mereka)

Dari Abu Hurairah radhiallahu ‘anhu, Nabi shallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam bersabda: “Barangsiapa berpuasa Ramadhan lantas disambung dengan enam hari di bulan Syawal, maka ia bagaikan telah berpuasa selama setahun. ” (HR. Al-Bazzar) (Al Mundziri berkata: “Salah satu sanad yang beliau miliki adalah sahih.”)

Pahala puasa Ramadhan yang dilanjutkan dengan puasa enam hari di bulan Syawal menyamai pahala puasa satu tahun penuh, kerana setiap hasanah (kebaikan) diberi ganjaran sepuluh kali lipatnya, sebagaimana telah disinggung dalam hadith Tsauban di muka.

Membiasakan puasa setelah Ramadhan memiliki banyak manfaat, di antaranya:

1. Puasa enam hari di bulan Syawal setelah Ramadhan, merupakan pelengkap dan penyempurna pahala dari puasa setahun penuh.

2. Puasa Syawal dan Sya’ban bagaikan solat sunnah rawatib, berfungsi sebagai penyempurna dari kekurangan, kerana pada hari Kiamat nanti perbuatan-perbuatan fardhu akan disempurnakan (dilengkapi) dengan perbuatan-perbuatan sunnah. Sebagaimana keterangan yang datang dari Nabi s.a.w di berbagai riwayat. Kebanyakan puasa fardhu yang kita lakukan memiliki kekurangan dan ketidaksempurnaan, maka hal itu memerlukan sesuatu yang menutupi dan menyempurnakannya.

3. Membiasakan puasa setelah Ramadhan menandakan diterimanya puasa Ramadhan, kerana apabila Allah Ta’ala menerima amal seorang hamba, pasti Dia menolongnya dalam meningkatkan perbuatan baik setelahnya. Sebagian orang bijak mengatakan: “Pahala amal kebaikan adalah kebaikan yang ada sesudahnya.” Oleh kerana itu barangsiapa mengerjakan kebaikan kemudian melanjutkannya dengan kebaikan lain, maka hal itu merupakan tanda atas terkabulnya amal pertama. Demikian pula sebaliknya, jika seseorang melakukan suatu kebaikan lalu diikuti dengan yang buruk maka hal itu merupakan tanda tertolaknya amal yang pertama.

4. Puasa Ramadhan -sebagaimana disebutkan di muka- dapat mendatangkan maghfirah atas dosa-dosa masa lain. Orang yang berpuasa Ramadhan akan mendapatkan pahalanya pada hari Raya ‘ldul Fitri yang merupakan hari pembagian hadiah, maka membiasakan puasa setelah ‘Idul Fitri merupakan bentuk rasa syukur atas nikmat ini. Dan sungguh tak ada nikmat yang lebih agung dari pengampunan dosa-dosa. Oleh kerana itu termasuk sebagian ungkapan rasa syukur seorang hamba atas pertolongan dan ampunan yang telah dianugerahkan kepadanya adalah dengan berpuasa setelah Ramadhan. Tetapi jika ia malah menggantinya dengan perbuatan maksiat maka ia termasuk kelompok orang yang membalas kenikmatan dengan kekufuran. Apabila ia berniat pada saat melakukan puasa untuk kembali melakukan maksiat lagi, maka puasanya tidak akan terkabul, ia bagaikan orang yang membangun sebuah bangunan megah lantas menghancurkannya kembali. Allah Ta’ala berfirman: “Dan janganlah kamu seperti seorang perempuan yang menguraikan benangnya yang sudah dipintal dengan kuat menjadi cerai berai kembali “(An-Nahl: 92)

5. Dan di antara manfaat puasa enam hari bulan Syawal adalah amal-amal yang dikerjakan seorang hamba untuk mendekatkan diri kepada Tuhannya pada bulan Ramadhan tidak terputus dengan berlalunya bulan mulia ini, selama ia masih hidup.

FRENS.. again, sakinah nak post cite panjang. in english tau, so kalau ade sala2 grammar or spelling, SORRY..AMALINA..hee.. kayy, here goes.. don noe if u bylyv this...

A girl went to her frens house and she ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home alone. She wasn't afraid because it was a small community and she lived only a few blocks away..
As she walked along under the bike trail, Amina asked ALLAH to keep her safe from harm and danger
When she reached the alley, which was a short cut to her house, she decided to take it.

However, halfway down the alley, she noticed a man standing at the end as though he was waiting for her.
She became uneasy and began to recite a doa, asking for ALLAH's protection.
Instantly,a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrappped round her. She felt as tho someone was walking with her.
When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right pass the man and arrived home safely.

The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been killed in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there.
Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her,she began to weep.
Thanking ALLAH for her safety and to help this young girl, she decided to go to the police station.
She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story.
The police asked her if she would be willing to look at a line up to see if she could identify him.
She agreed and immidiately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before.
When the man was told that he had been identified, he immidiately broke down and confessed.
The officer thanked Aminah for her bravery and asked if there was anything they could do for her.
She asked if they would ask the man one question. Aminah was curious as to why he had not attacked her.

When the policeman asked him, he answered, 'because she had two tall men walking on either side of her'.

Amazingly, whether u belive it or not, you're not alone. ALLAH is always there in ur heart and loves you no matter what..
'IF YOU DENY ME IN FRONT OF YOUR FRIENDS, I SHALL DENY YOU AN THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT'

so frens, remember, bile sorang2, bile rase takot, ingat, ALLAH ade dengan kite. kite tak pernah bersendirian.. til then. salams...

10 K dalam persahabatan

2009-07-19T00:16:00.000+08:00

salam sayang..

10 K dalam PERSAHABATAN

* KECINTAAN merupakan elemen yang paling penting sekali dalam sesebuah persahabatan. Ikatan sesebuah persahabatan akan mudah rapuh jika tiadanya kecintaan antara dua insan yang disandarkan kepada Si Pemilik cinta itu sendiri. Sebab itu, kadang-kadang perlunya kita meluahkan rasa cinta kita terhadap sahabat kita dengan mengungkap, "uhibbuka/i fillah" (bagi sahabat-sahabat yang sama jantina sahaja) agar mereka tahu betapa cintanya kita terhadap mereka, kerana Allah (insyaAllah).

* KASIH SAYANG lebih kurang sama sahaja maksudnya dengan kecintaan. Namun, setelah kita mencintai sahabat kita, perlunya kita curahkan segala kasih sayang kita terhadap mereka. Tetapi, kadangkala kasih sayang tidak perlu dipamerkan secara luaran. Cukuplah sekadar kita mendoakan untuk sahabat-sahabat kita, insyaAllah, itu sudah cukup membuktikan betapa sayangnya kita terhadap mereka.

* KEIKHLASAN dapat menjamin sesebuah persahabatan mendapat keberkatan dan rahmat daripada Illahi. Tidak ikhlas ketika bersahabat dengan seseorang akan mengundang permusuhan antara sahabat. Bersahabatlah dengan seseorang kerana keluhuran hati budinya, bukan kerana rupa, pangkat atau harta yang dimilikinya.

* KESETIAAN terhadap seseorang sahabat mampu memanjangkan tali persahabatan walaupun jarang bertemu. Apabila kita setia terhadap kita, kita akan diingati oleh mereka sehingga akhir hayat mereka, kerana tidak kira susah atau senang, kita setia berada di sisinya memberi sokongan, insyaAllah.

* KEBERANIAN dalam berkata benar. Dalam persahabatan juga, kita hendaklah berani apabila ingin mengatakan sesuatu. Lebih-lebih lagi jika kita telah melakukan sesuatu yang menyakiti hatinya, kita kena berani mengaku padanya atas kesilapan yang dilakukan. Selain itu, berani juga dalam menasihati sahabat kita. kerana sebagai sahabat, kita mesti mahukan yang terbaik untuk mereka kan?

* KEJUJURAN juga perlu dalam persahabatan. Jangan sesekali menipu atau menyembunyikan apa-apa daripada pengetahuan sahabat kita. Mereka juga perlu tahu apa yang kita lalui dalam kehidupan kita. Jangan berahsia, melainkan pada perkara yang benar-benar perlu dirahsiakan (hehehe).

* KEMAAFAN. Sekiranya sahabat kita pernah melakukan sebarang kesilapan, bersedialah untuk memaafkannya, tidak kira sebesar manapun kesalahan mereka terhadap kita kerana sahabat yang baik adalah sahabat yang bersedia untuk memaafkan sahabatnya. Jika kita yang bersalah, janganlah malu untuk meminta maaf daripada mereka kerana orang yang dahulu meminta maaf adalah orang yang hebat.

* KESEDIHAN. Apabila kita sedar bahawa sahabat kita sedang bersedih, maka, ikutlah sedih bersama-sama dengan mereka. Tawarkanlah bahu kita untuk dijadikan tadahan air mata mereka. Kerana tiada siapa yang akan mereka cari selain kita sahabat mereka.

* KEGEMBIRAAN. Begitu juga dengan kegembiraan. Jika kita gembira, maka marilah berkongsi kegembiraan itu bersama sahabat-sahabat tercinta. Tidak mahukah kita bergelak tawa dengan mereka? Tidak mahukah kita melihat ukiran-ukiran senyuman indah di raut wajah mereka? Kegembiraan kita, kegembiraan mereka jua.

* KESERASIAN di sini bukanlah bermaksud, "Kau cantik, aku mesti cantik," "Kau kaya, aku pun kena kaya". Tidak sama sekali. Sememangnya manusia dijadikan oleh Allah berbeza-beza, namun, dalam persahabatan keserasian dapat diwujudkan apabila terbinanya persefahaman antara dua pihak. Apabila ada persefahaman, barulah hubungan kita dengan sahabat kita akan menjadi lebih baik dan akan berkurangnya pergaduhan disebabkan salah faham (hehehe).

i sayang you all! (:

salaaaam!

Hi. I’m back for another post. I was google-ing when I came across this result – Ridzwan.Com: 2008 Madrasahs PSLE Results.

There's this post where he discussed about the 2008 Madrasahs PSLE Results and it sparked quite a number of outrageous comments. From reading this, I found out that there are still many out there, even from our own Malay/Muslim community, who does not support the madrasahs.

Go on and have a read. Discretion is advised.

2008 Madrasahs PSLE Results

Congratulations to the Madrasahs on this year’s PSLE examination results. But don’t celebrate too soon as numbers have clearly indicated that while they have delivered quantity, they have failed to match up on quality.

2008 marks a major milestone in Islamic education in Singapore. The Government has mandated that from this year onwards, pupils studying in the nation’s Madrasahs will have to go through the National Primary School Leaving Examinations (PSLE). This is the first rite of passage that every 12-year-old student in Singapore goes through for the rest their academic journeys. Prior to this regulation, the majority of Madrasahs’ students did not go through the exams.

The mandate has been enacted to ensure that the Singapore’s Madrasahs deliver a certain level of quality before they are allowed to continue taking in students into its helms. After all, Madrasahs in the nation have long been perceived to deliver students of inferior academic quality when compared to their peers from National schools.

But that perception was shattered yesterday with the release of the 2008 PSLE results. 98% of students studying in Madrasahs passed the exams. A commendable figure given that the national figure stands at a slightly lower 97.1 %

Singapore’s Malay media was quick to hail the achievement. Berita Harian, the national Malays newspaper, carried the headline “98% Madrasahs Students Passed PSLE” in bold letterings across its front page. Interviews with students, parents and teachers on TV trumpeted the results as tangible evidence that Madrasahs student can do as well, if not better, than their national school counterparts.

But the reality is Madrasahs may be getting a little ahead of themselves in declaring victory. 98% in this context is, statistically speaking, a figure of quantity rather than a figure of quality. What the figure tells us is that the Madrasahs have delivered more students who qualify for post-primary education, than the national average.

But what do the statistics say about the quality of Madrasahs students delivered? For this, we need to drill down a little deeper into the statistics that nobody seemed to have paid much attention to.

After the PSLE results, pupils are streamed into three academic pens, according to their academic results. Those who deliver exceptional results are channelled into the Express stream while the weaker ones are funnelled into the Normal streams. The Normal stream is further segmented into Normal (Academic) and Normal (Technical), the latter being a channel for the technically-inclined.

This is where the Madrasahs have failed to deliver up to national standards. For students in the Madrasahs cohort, only 41% of its pupils delivered results that qualified them for the Express stream. This is far short of the national figure whereby 64% of students qualified.

The majority of Madrasahs students (57%) who took the PSLE only managed to make it to the Normal streams. Of these, 48% went into Normal Academic while 9% went into Normal Technical. This is a stark comparison to the National schools whereby only 33% of their cohort was funnelled into the Normal streams.

There is still a fair bit of work to do. I sure do hope that the proud proclamations by the teachers, parents and students that we saw on TV last night was not a signal that the Madrasahs are in a state-of-mind where they think that they “have arrived”.

Madrasahs have done well indeed in delivering the quantity and we should be proud that they have gotten this far. In fact the beacons of Islamic Education in Singapore should receive all the support it can get from us. But the time is not right in blowing the trumpet as yet. The community must remain focus in helping them deliver on quality and not just quantity in the next examinations.

More can always be done…

The big *but* is, just as the media seemed to promote the success from one perspective, your post also seemed to disregard that the primary madrasah students did not only have to prepare for the 4 PSLE subjects, but also another 3 religious subjects (which took place just a few weeks after the PSLE). It is a madrasah after all.

Fyi.

I am damn sick of madrasah students and parents of madrasah student who keeps using the LAME EXCUSE of ukhrawi subjects.

What do you think academic students do not have pressure to study subjects like fiqh, tauhid arabic and akhlak??

for your info, we parents of academic students also face the pressure of these exams especially those that enrol our kids in MUIS madrasahs conducted in the evening at weekends.

to the anonymous above,

for your info, the sunday madrasahs’ curriculum is nothing compared to the islamic religious subjects studied by students in full-time madrasahs.

i know because i transferred from madrasah to govt school midway and it was less stressful. too bad i wasn’t one of those students who could cope with too many subjects :(

Bear in mind that the contact time for weekend religious classes are during the weekends. During the weekdays, the national-stream students have 5 days’ worth of “prime contact time” to focus on 4 subjects. The madrasah students have 5 days to squeeze in 7 subjects.

I don’t think it’s an excuse at all. It’s a perfect reason to give credit where it’s due.

And I must digress at semantics; madrasah students are ‘academic’ students too. =)

Lastly I must reiterate that I never deny that improvements are always welcome. But I stand by my view that the madrasahs have exemplified a commendable first attempt.

Cheers,

Very often Madrasah students have given this excuse time and time again that “they are doing both ukhrawi and duniawi subjects so thay are over loaded”.

Let us examine this claim by Madrasah students that they are overloaded:

I will use the example of my niece in Raffles, currently in sec one this year.

She takes 11 subjects. Including humanities like social studies which Madrasah has conveniently ignored. On top of that she takes higher Malay, German as third language and represents her school in the girls “c” division cross country and track and field team in which she has done pretty well.

(Madrasahs have off course excluded their kids from sports)

On top of that, she is a trainee student counsellor attending activities every monday and wednesday.

On weekends she does compulsory school actrivities in order to fulfill her CIP hours

(Madrasahs have excluded themselves from CIP hours)

And to top it all off she attends a 6-hour madrasah on sundays and wednesday evenings attended by pupils from national schools like her. and mind you there is still subjects like arabic etc and they are examinable. alhamdulillah she has done well in her madrasah also.

So what is the excuse here for Madrasah students to say that they are overloaded when the typical madrasah student takes on EVEN LESSER subjects than the typical national o level student? at PSLE, the workload is baout the same considering the sports activities CIP hours etc, additional subjects like social studies and civics that madrasahs have excluded from their curriculum?

humans are good at making excuses. let’s not have this habit.

Are the Malays in national schools who are eligible for express courses also more than 60% in the first place? It is quite amazing that people are comparing the Malay-based Madrasah system with the national standard and not comparing it with the Malay standard. Cool, that just show that Madrasah is par excellence :)

@ Fazlur:

Convenient argument. But I must it is a bit askewed to compare sec 1 curriculum with primary 6 curriculum. Do take a look at the curriculum offered for madrasah students at secondary 1 level.

Humans are not only good at making excuses, they’re better at glossing over details.

Cheers,

Fazlur,

I know for sure that madrasahs like Maarif & Irsyad DO have humanities subjects.

Anyway, isn’t it a bit too far off to compare Madrasahs with elite schs like RGS? Why don’t you compare madrasah students with your nieces/nephews from neighbourhood schools instead? How many O’levels subjects did/will they sit for, is it ard 7 to 9 too, like the madrasah students? Or more?

Wish you’d done a bit of research beforehand. Humans are only good at making assumptions, aye?

Instead of comparing the PSLE results of Madrasah students with those of the national average, wouldn’t the more suitable comparison be that with those of the Malay/Muslim average? If the Madrasah PSLE results are better than the Malay/Muslim average, then this policy is a step in the right direction.

Furthermore, this is the first year Madrasah students are taking the PSLE results. So, even if they fared badly with respect to the national average, it would be premature to conclude that a madrasah-style primary school curriculum is incompatible with the national educational policy.

Madrasahs have excluded kids from sports? Sure, they purposely decided to to omit that sports track and football field because of untold reasons, NOT because of lack of funding or space constraint. We all know just how well-funded these madrasahs are. Just look at the vast grounds which these madrasahs occupy.

i have used the example of my daughter currently in sec 1 for a simple reason that she is in sec one this year. but i would like to assure you that her schedule in P6 was no different.

she was in school netball team, as with everyone else in school where sports is compulsory and occupies at least 2 out of every 5 days AFTER school. sports, as the govt will tell u, builds on the spirit. sadly our madrasahs have chosen to ignore sports in their curicullum (besides minor events like SUKMA)

in upper primary from p4-p6, she was also involved in girl guides, the female version of scouts. do ppl from madrasah involve themselves in girl guides and scouts? of course not. becos somehow madrasahs have seem to think that these activities that benefit the nation do not benefit the madrasah. they will only take part in tahfiz, tilawah competitions and other activities that do not contribute to nation building as a whole.

so pls stop using the excuse of P6 students in madrasah having more subjects than those in national schools. this is completely A MYTH. WHAT STUDENTS LACK IN NUMBER OF SUBJECTS IF FULLY TAKEN UP BY NATIONAL ACTIVITIES AND CCAS THAT MADRASAH STUDENTS DO NOT INVOLVE IN. do u have any idea how much these activites take, even eating onto the weekends?

perhaps its time madrasahs students involve themselves in national activities like the scouts movement, science club etc. judging from the standard of national knowledge of a lot of our ustaz, it could be a good idea.

and dont’ blame funding for the lack of madrasah involvement in sports and national education. madrasah truly does NOT deserve govt funding. why?

simple. because govt fund comes from all taxpayers, regardless of whether they are muslim or not. it is not fair for the tax money of a non-muslim be used to fund the education of children who will grow up becoming an asatizah to benefit only Muslims.

national school students on the other hand, grow up to be professionals that are of benefit to the entire nation NOT JUST MUSLIMS. it is therefore fair that since madrasahs only mainly benefit muslims, we muslims fit the bill, no matter how small the money may be.

and correction, this is NOT the first year madrasahs are taking PSLE. it has been for a few years. pls do your homework. this year it is the first time is compulsory but they have been taking it for the past couple of years in preparation.

Wow, Bro Fazlur, you’re just waiting to be flamed. Your comment is binary, prejudiced, and bordering on idiocy.

How you even come up with the assumption that “somehow madrasahs have seem to think that these activities that benefit the nation do not benefit the madrasah.”?? And that “they will only take part in tahfiz, tilawah competitions and other activities that do not contribute to nation building as a whole.”??

Just how myopic can the statement be? Just because a person is not a girl guide or in a science club, would it mean that he/she is not contributing to nation building?

You gotta read up more.

And you’re trying hard to brush every possible madrasah graduate with just one stroke (I’m assuming you don’t know that the majority of madrasah students do not become a religious teacher): “…judging from the standard of national knowledge of a lot of our ustaz, it could be a good idea.”

So, lemme get this straight. You want the ustazs to be learned in religion. Check. And then some girl scout skills, and basic science skills. Sure, understandable. Check check.

But then I think you may be implying that they should know all of the modern sciences and relate it to religion. Sure, why not. And add to that, Islamic banking and finance, some accounting, bioethics, perhaps a dash socio-psychology. Don’t forget counselling, which usually comes with the assumption that ustazs can rehabilitate anyone.

And the best way to do that? Providing them with the least amount of resources (”madrasah truly does NOT deserve govt funding.”)

You are a bright one.

Btw, is it your niece or your daughter? You gotta make up your mind.

Assalamualaikum to all and good evening children.

Since everyone in this comment box is behaving like children here, I think this greeting is proper indeed.

I hope we can observe adab and refrain from caps and sarcasm here. Its rude and shows your upbringing. So please no more sarcasm.

I think there are several issues here:

1. Madrasah funding.
Some think its unfair that Madrasah does not get the funding like national school does.

Well here is my take on it. Would you be happy if you as a Muslim, pay taxes and the govt takes that money to fund a christian bible college?

Well its the same concept. You cannot expect other community to fund our religious education the same way you would not want your money to fund a bible college. That is why Madrasah is funded by the money exclusively from the community via MBBS and school fees, periodic donations at mosques (which national schools dun get to enjoy) and even higher fees that madrasahs are free to charge without seeking the consent from MOE. the concept is simple but i think it explains the funding issue better than fazlur’s concept of madrasah do not benefit the nation ;)

2. Number of subjects taught
I hope we do not look down on each other here. Do not have the “im better than you” mentality. each student from madrasah or national school has his burden. madrasah with the ukhrawi subjects and national schools with their CCA and national activities commitments and also National Service. I hope we can put this issue at rest and not compare but support all our Muslim students instead.

fazlur’s comments just tickled me so much.

just for kicks, i’d love to see his niece/daughter(i dunno, u cant seem to make up ur mind) who’s in the ’secular’ top girls’ school be put in madrasah’s top girls school al-maarif. let’s see how she fares. whether that 11 subjects or more wld be ‘easier’ than madrasah’s syllabus. anyway she studies 6 hrs each week on religious studies? maybe she wld excel in MUIS’ Secondary Four major exams as well, which by the way held every yr since more than 10 yrs ago in october, right before GCE O LEVELS. im sure she cld do VERY WELL in all those 20 subjects since she’s such an all rounder. oh those ECAs’ hours. lets see if she cld cope with the 20 subjects’ homeworks and projects first, after being in school the whole day.

the madrasah’s ppl i know have never blown their trumpets that they’ve arrived. even when i personally know their graduates have long done well in secular institutions(JCs/poly/uni) post-madrasah. and it has been going on since 1994(when the 1st al-maarif girl was accepted into VJC). only when the media starts to focus on madrasah’s ‘achievements’ that ppl think the madrasahs feel proud just because of this one PSLE results which surprised a lot of ppl who had typecasted madrasahs’ students. all these while, they’ve been doing the right thing and without fail produce students with excellent GCE results each year. with or without funding. just because PSLE results are made known nation wide, community is ’surprised’, n i can’t blame the media it’s their job to spice up news anyway.

Salam to all,

I come from a family (immediate and extended included) that has its children enrolled in both secular and madrasah education. Some went to RGS, some went to Cedar Girls School, Chinese Girls’ School, Victoria School, some went to neighbourhood schools, some went to madrasahs.

my elder sister was from a madrasah, and I myself made the switch to a secular school in primary school. So I think I do have some form of moral right and research in what I’m about to say.

Squeezing in 11,12,13 subjects in 5 days (no school on weekends, unless it’s extra classes/remedials) is not easy, in contrast to the secular schools that have about 6-7 hours in a day to squeeze in about 3-4 academic subjects. “Play” time subjects like music, PE, Civics & moral education, Art.. are just time-fillers sometimes. Sometimes some teachers even forego these subjects to catch up on more core (academic) subjects like english, maths, and science.

But in madrasahs, the flexibility is not so afforded. There is no way you can forego any other subject because they are all mostly very academic. Basically, a regular school day for a madrasah student is almost 100% intensity where it’s just boom boom boom, one thing to absorb after another. Sure I remember having very simple PE lessons and Art, but I wouldn’t imagine an Ustaz(ah) foregoing those because aside from the brief periods we perform our solat, those ’subjects’ are the few other ways the students take a break.

Facilities-wise, well… it’s only until recently that schools like madrasah Al-maarif managed to get their own computer and science labs. The students now are very lucky, though funding for the upkeep of these facilities remain a struggle.

Back when my sister was in school, I remember how disciplined she had to be to in attending her science lab lessons OUTSIDE of school hours, in this rundown place near Bartley (I think). Of course my sister wasn’t an exception, other students who had to take O’level subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Biology all had to get a lab instruction somewhere. But think, just how many times a week can you schedule such to-and-fro sessions? What I’m saying is, if Mr Fazlur says that secular students have to spend time on their CCAs and CIP work (which btw, should be ikhlas) madrasah students have to play a game of catch up with their time.. They don’t have the luxury of it.

Having experienced both ‘worlds’ so to speak, I dare say that for you to excel in a madrasah system, you have to be one tough cookie. High level of discipline and emotional quotient (to deal with stigmas and perceptions of the community) are necessary. Already at Sec 2 (typically age 14) they have to decide which way do they want to go: further their Ukhrawi, or be more secular.

Speaking from experience, I remember being rejected by thirteen other primary schools when I was seeking to be enrolled. Most of them asked me to re-enrol from Primary One. Only the fourteenth school gave me a second look, and requested that I sat for a placement test. I was too young then to really know what was going on, but on hindsight, it must’ve been very difficult on my mother, having her child rejected like bruised apples on a shelf. no value. I quietly hope I pleased her in finishing those final exam papers in under 15 mins.

But really, many of these madrasah students graduate being quite mature for their age, and of course, beat secular students (like me!) flat out in their command of languages like Malay, Arabic and sometimes even English. I found the change from 6-7 subjects to just 3 so refreshingly light. It was easy to top my classes instead of always being quite jealous of my then madrasah classmates who always seemed to know EVERYTHING….. lol

Truly, do not equate weekend madrasahs to the madrasah system that is being scrutinized here. Definitely not the same.. 2 hours every Sunday? It pales in comparison.

I agree with a5 that it’s extremely myopic to assume that madrasah graduates will only be contributing to the Muslim community upon graduation. True, a lot of them decide to be asatizah or even be teachers of their alma-mater.

But the reality of it is, a lot of these madrasah graduates proceed on to attend Polytechnics, local and foreign Universities and then, be equally part of the society like you and me when they work, have families of their own and such. How then can we say that they do not deserve government funding?? I hope you Mr Fazlur do realise that many Madrasah graduates are teachers in SECULAR schools too! The people who are executing the excellent and ’superior’ education system you have so applauded all this time.

Actually, I personally wouldn’t have a problem with my tax money being put to use in bible college education, for the same reason that they are nonetheless part of our society. In a very economic & somewhat political point of view, if my tax money (ok, govt’s money) is used for the betterment of the students, i can then have a right to make sure that the syllabus and all that is aligned with the nation’s greater agenda of creating an inclusive society.

Wassalam..

As the writer pointed out, madrasahs have delivered quantity but not quality. But in typical Malay fashion, Berita Harian blew the trumpet out proud and loud prematurely.

Most of them end up in Normal stream. Great. Exactly what our society needs. More mediocrity and normal students.

They should just exempt these people from PSLE. They are growing up to be Ustaz and Ustazahs who can’t even string a proper sentence in grammatically correct English anyway.

nak compare full time madrasah subjects dgn madrasah mingguan? coz her niece / daughter masuk madrasah mingguan n still no problem with all her subjects. just to make it clear, ya…madrasah mingguan blaja only basic agama bukan lebih mendalam dan terperinci. kalau di madrasah sepenuh masa, secara khusus lagi..mendalam dan berfokus. kalau madrasah mingguan tu hanya sbagai sandaran n guideline agar anak2 kite sentiasa peka ttg agama sendiri jadi dorang tak leka. subjects in madrasah totally diff la..pendidikan agama yg dipelajari mostly in arabic language n need alot of hafaz..n exposure lagi lain. cannot compare. wayyyy diff,man

I don’t know Anonymous, but I hope he doesn’t mind me translating what he beautifully said in the above. (Although I think the message has more kick in Malay!) This is of course for the benefit of the OTHER anonymous comment author.. who could either be non-malay speaking, or just be really bad at it.. (or just lupa diri? Oops.. you understand this or not?)

But just a question though.. What DO you understand, Anonymous?

/Translation begins:
Wow Fazlur, was it niece or daughter? Quite confusing eh. ooh maybe both niece and daughter got into Raffles eh. Alhamdulillah, (need translation? Thanks be to Allah.) they got into Raffles. Not just any Tom, Dick or Harry can get into Raffles. Syukur Alhamdulillah. The best way to repay the blessings Allah has given is to always be grateful and not by creating divides (by negatively comparing) and by being stuck-up. If Allah wills it, He can retract those blessings in a second. We have to bow our heads and not only stick our noses up the air. Wow, German as third language! and doing fine some more eh. Alhamdulillah.. praise to Allah for all that. But i don’t think that german is used in every single subject right? only as a language subject right?

Compare full time madrasah with weekly madrasah? cos her niece/daughter is enrolled in weekly madrasah and still has no problems with all her subjects. just to make it clear, ya… weekly madrasah only teaches basic (islamic) religion, and not with great depth. Unlike in full-time madrasah, it’s more in-depth and affords greater details. Weekly madrasah is only an avenue for the student to gain a basic guide for our children, so that they have some form of instruction to follow and apply, and not be way-laid. Subjects in madrasah (full-time) totally diff la.. Language of instruction in the religious subjects is mostly in Arabic, and the subjects require a lot of memorizing and internalising. and exposure is also different. cannot compare. wayyyy diff, man.

/translation ends.

By the way, this blog isn’t a blog in Malay, but it certainly is about the community. I don’t see any problem with anyone replying in the Malay language, given that by default, all Malays should be able to speak it. But if your command of the language is poor, or if you’re not from the community, a polite request for a translation would’ve sufficed.

anonymous, how many language do u speak?

i am a senior staff nurse graduated from NANYANG POLYTECHNIC after studying at madrasa al-ma’arif since pri 1. I have decided to join secular as I do not think I am suitable to go for ukhrawi though I have never failed any of ukhrawi subjects.

Weekend madarasah subjects are taught in full-time madrasah from pri 1 to pri 3. Obviously, fazlur n anonymous religious knowledge is very low that it leads to the understanding that weekend madarasah is enough for muslims.

FYI, fazlur, my seniors from madarasah have graduated from NUS. My batch from al-ma’arif itself have NUS, NIE, NYP, TP and SP graduates. And I can assure you that none of us is an Ustazah…..

Btw, where do YOU graduated from?

Hi…tot of giving salam but I don think you deserve it.

I am a senoir staff nurse. Graduated from NYP yr 2000. Studied in Madrasah Al-ma’arif from pri 1 to sec 4.

I do not take PSLE. I took GCE O level. I wonder why NYP accept me? Did they not noticed that I do not take PSLE??!!! Did they not noticed I am from a madrasah??? Oh no!!!

Oh yeah..and how abt the rest of our madrasah girls who graduated from NUS,NIE,NTU, NYP,SP,TP and JCs?? How come they can accept us?? That is terrible right Fazlur??

We have a lot of graduates from our madrasah who went to secular tertiary since more than 10 yrs ago….did u know that? Is there any publicity over us? How come I never see my pic in Berita Harian eh?

Oh yeah…hmmm…those NTU/NUS/polytechnics graduates are not ustazahs…jus so u can haf a peace of mind….

Weekend madrasah’s subjects r taught in full-time madrasah from pri 1 to pri 3. Maybe you need to belajar ugama in more detail cos seems like ur religious knowledge is low bro…..

I do not deny that other madrasahs do not have the same secular graduates as madrasah al-ma’arif….at least they are trying to be better…and you as a muslim shd acknowledge dat….
and next time do not be so prejudiced….

and maybe u shd mentioned the names of the madrasahs that r not contributing to society (if u think it is so important) instead of labelling ALL madrasahs as such….

bro fazlur, you have successfully ignite the flame in some of us.

pls, do not belittle the students from madrasah. give them some credit as they have done the community proud. these students are feeling the pressure even before they entered school. take al-irsyad for example, they accept only the top 40 students. and these students have to go through rounds of tests before the school accept the top 40 students who did well in the test. mind you TOP 40 students who did well. for those who passed but did not make in the the top 40 will not be accepted. does secular school have such practice? no i don’t think so.

the parents of the madrasah students wants the best for their kids. to have more than 4 subjects compared to secular school, i have to say i really admire these kids cos they are able to juggle all the subjects. these parents do not want them to excel in duniawi but ukhrawi as well. cos at the end of they day, when we leave this world, will we be asked about mathematics, english, science or what nots?

as the minister said, not ALL children are able to do juggle between duniawi and ukhrawi studies. so for these students who did well, we should commend them and not put them down. so bro fazlur, the moral of the story here is to think before you write such remarks.

Cik Fazlur,

Assalamualaikum.

Firstly, I think your observation is clearly one-sided; even narrow-minded. I agree totally that a community should always aim for excellence; for the good of its future. But I also believe in celebrating success.

I think the Madrasahs have done exceedingly well despite the hardships the past years. What they achieved beat any schools in Singapore. To change in a mere few years to include PSLE/O-level subjects and then achieving such passing rates is something we need to applaud.

A madrasah student studies anything between 11 – 15 subjects, not including CCAs or other extra-curricular activities. Please try to understand that with the extra subjects, how many hours can one put into doing CCAs?

While kids in secular school, like your niece studies Humanities, Madrasahs have Islamic Social Studies that teaches students their identity/responsibilities as Muslims in the global community. Is this not humane enough to warrant your approval?

Yes, madrasahs do not have girl guides or scouts to “contribute to the nation” but look around you Cik Fazlur, who are the people who head our mosques, lead our prayers, teach our children the ways of Islam, work in MUIS so we can continue building the Malay/Muslim community? Aren’t they people from Madrasahs?

And you mention that these people do not deserve taxpayer’s money since they only contribute to the muslim community? Asatizahs/Ustaz/Ustazah contribute directly to the building of the nation because they are involved in building the Malay/Muslim community which include people like you and me. We in turn become better Muslims, which make us better persons and we contribute to the nation. So this is a chain reaction.

Like I said, you have tunnel vision when making your observations. Maybe you would benefit from learning a little from these Madrasah students.

ok ok
the subjects offered in a Madrasah, namely, Madrasah Al-Maarif with the Pink ’skirt’ are;

Mathematics Syllabus D
Additional Mathematics
Geography
Science (Chemistry/Physics/Bio)
English Language
Higher Malay
Arabic Language (please note that all 3 language are as FIRST language)
History
Geography
Islamic Religious Knowledge
Malay Literature

Fiqh – Islamic Law
Tauhid – Islamic Beliefs
Akhlaq – Islamic Ethics
Sirah – Islamic History
Islamic Literature
Arabic Grammar

….to name a few….

So are the Madrasah students not challenged enough?? So are those Islamic subjects Easy Peasy? As well as the understandings? Can we say that the weekends Madrasahs COVER the same subjects and syllabus as Full-time Madrasahs? Or can we say that the academic subjects offered by the Madrasahs ARE NOT THE SAME as normal public schools and hence the pressures are not the same??

Do NOT undermine ANY education. EDUCATION is EDUCATION no matter where you get them. Yeah so maybe the Madrasahs students are not as sophisticated, but the knowledge they learn will take them to the hereafter and will make them a better person, a well-rounded one at that.

Cheers.

Assalamualaikum to all.

I am a parent of 2 girls in madrasah. Let me give you a take on what I really feel.

I was one of those who saw the news clip on Suria that nite. Honestly as i saw the results, i felt glad. thanks to Allah, our students have passed. but somehow as i watched the clip further, my feelings changed as i saw the comments made by some students, parents and teachers interviewed by the news clip. They started atacking the national schools with their statements “hey-wer’re better than national schools” dialogue. somehow that comes across as arrogant, in my opinion.

why do these students and parents have to do that? madrasah student did well, ALHAMDULILLAH all thanks be to ALLAH. there is no need to compare and contrast with them in national schools. all these years when our national school students did well, they never have compared themselves to the madrasahs, even though the madrasahs have been taking PSLE (although not compulsory) for about 5 years now. but suddenly when madrasah students got a higher passing rate, they started to become proud and arrogant?

And please note my brothers and sister, 98% is ONLY PASSING RATE as the good writer bro ridzwan pointed out. its an indication of quantity, not quality. the quality of our students have far yet to match up in terms of those making to express stream.

Please leave our arrogance at home. It is not a good reflection on those from the Madrasah, especially those who have left their comments here. I think you guys are acting very arrogant – such as the lady from Madrasah Al-Maarif who typed our her school nanyang polytechnic in capital letters. You qualified for poly, all well and good alhamdulillah. There is no need to ask people which school they came from.
Bear in mind that to the secular students, qualifying for poly is not smth to be proud about. The poly to them is a dumping ground for JC rejects. So please dont embarass yourself by being so proud.

You have become a nurse. all well and good alhamdulillah. there is no need to be proud either. All thanks to Allah. To the students in national schools, they desire to become top civil servants, lawyers and doctors. Not nurses. To them nurses are people you call when you need to poke a temperature in the rectum and clean up after their vomit. So please there is no need to be proud of facts like these.

Malay community needs more than just a handful of madrasah students who make it to NUS to prove. Those who qualify for university and from local madrasahs are very small indeed compared to those malays in national schools. small numbers do not reflect reality.

They can also point out to madrasah products like Marina Yusoff who went from tilawah champion to perempuan joget on Suria. I’m sure thats not a good reflection on madrasah students because people like marina yusoff are small in number, so too are madrasah students who go to NUS.

It is not fair to compare madrasah education and national school education.

Madrasah males do not deserve any credit as they can carry on studying without disruptions in the form of National service in the army.

To the people in national schools, Madrasah males are a bunch of semi-men who have their genitals stuck in between their legs. When there is a war, they will be hiding like cowards behind the skirts of their women while those from national schools will bear arms and weapons to defend their country.

Madrasah males are not trained in combat, national education, nor the ability to use weapons and defend themselves or their loved ones when ther is a war. They are useless males when ther is a war, just stay at home while real men go to war and those in civil defence and police guard the country.

So please take a good look in the mirror and know your place before being so arrogant, understand? Give a little more respect where respect is due, especially to those giving their lives to defned this country that you live in, the real men from national schools.

Salaam to all,

I think this discussion has gone on long enough.

Sometimes when defending what we believe in, it is easy to get caught unawares in the iblees’ whispers.

I believe the original purpose of the discussion is to clear the air instead claiming one’s bragging rights.

Just because one can win an argument, doesn’t mean that he/she is right. Our energies are much better off being focused to help our ummah, regardless of where they studied in.

“The best of you at Allah’s side are the one with most piety.” (49:13)

Honestly, I didn’t think it was arrogant of these ladies from the “pink” skirt madrasah to say what they did.

It unfortunately stemmed from attacks on their school system, that although has a lot of room for improvement, was completely not being given ANY credit in a) nation building b) as a form of respectable education/foundation.

I applaude them for making themselves heard. Without such inputs, I bet a lot of people will continue to have deep knowledge in the secular school system (from their experience) and yet only a brief idea of the madrasah system.

I understand if you feel a little ashamed when others seem to be blowing their trumpets / being arrogant. – That’s probably because you are a humble person and don’t like it when we give too much praise to something we are directly associated with.

But look, no one can deny that the madrasah system and its students have been under a lot of stigma, for VERY long. And much of it is not fair, completely stereotypical and even plain wrong, as pointed out by many other more positive comments here.

As I see it, all education systems have their merits, madrasah system included! Like I said before, to excel in such a rigorous system, you need to REALLY be high in discipline, and possess strong character to fend off criticisms that do not seem to go away even when progress has been made.

No, I do not see that Polytechnics are dumping grounds for students.. Honestly, I think Polytechnics are for students who have the maturity to have decided what they want to pursue as a diploma (and life career probably) by the age of 17. I imagine most JC students will admit to you that they haven’t decided what it is that they want to pursue, and going to JC buys them abit more time, if they can make the 20 points cutoff. JC’s not for everyone, and neither is the Polytechnic.

So Kak/Abg with 2 daughters in madrasah, I think you should set aside your own prejudices of the different types of institutions as well. don’t leave them at home, throw them out completely. It seems to me that you yourself have biases against the polytechnics, calling it a dumping ground. Masha-Allah, we should be proud that more Malays are making it into Polys and JCs and Unis. As a community, we should be proud! We may have a lot of work to do still in many areas, but aren’t you inspired and comforted that your daughters could be 2 of them successful ones later on? Becoming useful members of society, who can be proud that their parents sent them to madrasah becos they want them to gain as much knowledge as possible, duniawi and ukhrawi, and have a solid foundation for life! Tak kira lah if they become nurses, or doctors. Professions that are respectable in their own rights!

Salams to all,
I think its more of an encouragement for Berita Harian to post that Headlines than anything. Im sure the muslims community (except some like you know who you are) are proud of that achievements. I should say it’s a good start for the madrasah students. Hopefully this will motivate the madrasah students to challenge themselves and do even better than the current batch.
We should continue to give our support and encouragements to these students and not vilify what they have achieved.

Ppl have their own opinions n they have their right to speak up BUT of course in a good way.

I was from Madrasah from primary 1 to pre-university level & alhamdulillah im currently a graduating master student. for ur info, im not mastering in islamic field but in academic field. enough said.

so maybe u have to open up tht even madrasah students can do as well as those from any other secular schools ok? It depends on each individual whether to excel or not to..not bcoz of their eduational background. thts all. I pray the best for all esp u.

salaam….

23 – I totally disagree with you. My husband came from Madrasah and his exemption from National Service is not by his will. He was simply issued with an exemption letter by the government.

I remember we went to CMPB in 1997 requesting for an explanation, but we were told that there wasnt any to give. I could feel the disappointment in him, probably feeling shunned from carrying out his duties as a fellow Singaporeans.

While others told him he was lucky to escape, this wasn’t the same sentiments he had. Being the only child who attended Madrasah out of three brothers makes him question why the discrimination?

And for your information, my husband is not an ustaz and is doing well in the technical field.

I am the anonymous above with 2 school going madrasah kids.

All I want to say now is may Allah forgive us.

The importance of Tawadu’ and humbleness seem to have been forgotten by our Madrasah pupils. I thought this is what they teach in Madrasah.

No more Tawadu’. Now, what is more important is that others must know what we have achieved, right?

To all madrasah students here, especially the lady who typed out the name of her poly that she is so proud of in capital letters, well done ummah, your teachers in the madrasahs have taught you the value of tawadu’ very well.

Fiamanillah.

im sure the reason behind y she said that because shes actually trying to proof that madrasah grads r not what ppl call “rejected ppl”.

Im sure shes not trying to be too proud… u may hav kids studying in madrasah… but i guess… only madrasah students/grads will feel the real feelings of being condemn like that. It hurts… really… but again… we r living in the real world… so i guess madrasah students/grads hav to face this kinda problem no matter what.

n Im glad.. most of us.. could make it.. n we are not rejected ppl anymore in our life. Some are even important ppl in the community… Alhamdulillah.

Having read the row of comments, I cannot help but feel the need to defend the lady who typed her polytechnic name in capital letters.

In the education sector, the polytechnics are referred to in short form, similar to the JCs. e.g. NYP, NP, SP, TP, RP, RJC, MJC… It is easier than to spell out in full. Even in minutes, instead of writing ‘Principal of Nanyang Polytechnic said that…’, it’s written as ‘P/NYP said that…’

So in this sense, I’m sure the lady wasn’t myopic enough to show that she’s from NYP.

my two cents’ worth…

To anonymous three comments above;
Muslims in Singapore are a multi-ethnic lot. There are Malay muslims, Indian muslims, Chinese muslims and several other ‘variations’. Its just that due to social oppression purposes, the label Malay/Muslims is often as a substitution to group all the Muslims in Singapore into one seemingly ‘racial’ group. In short, not all Muslims are Malays. Look beyond the label.

to the lady or the guy who said poly is a dumping ground,and tot he lady or the guy wh said the madrasahs are chuirning normal academic graduates (in his/her tone, it does’nt sounds appealing to him/her)…i was a normal academic student , went to that dumping ground poly and am now an accounting graduate working for a respectable MNC.

To the person who said madrasahs produced half baked english speakers, i came from a christian secular school for both my primary and secondary education and rest assured, i can’t say we have better speakers of the language than the madrasahs.

And to the people who belittle our madrasah students and teachers, look at yourself in the mirror..what good have u pple achieve. Jgn bongkak sangat, Allah boleh tarik kesenangan anda sekarang.

And to that arsehole who feels the inferior urge to insult replies made in malay language, if you are a malay, perhaps you should be reminded of your brown skin and heritage.

I spent 4 blody years in sydney amongst people from different continents, I have never ever forgot my roots. NEVER

Look at yourself first k bro!

Assalamualaikum,
Ok, I have had enough of this. I am a student in Madrasah Al-Irsyad, and I do not think we should be basking who is the best. Of course the Berita Harian exaggerated on how malay’s are doing so well. Its their own fault I admit. I do not think it is fair to compare us to top schools such as Raffles. We accept any race that wants to learn here. Here we have several foreign students here and we are very accepting of any race as long as they are willing to study what is given here. Please. All schools give knowledge and contribute to the society. This topic is to be thought of, not be made fun of or to insult. All humans have faults, I can assure you. Please do not be biased people. Madrasah students are human beings too. I feel terribly insulted that some people have the heart to say those things. I am proud of my race, my religion and where I am come from. I WILL NEVER insult secular schools, because I appreciate what values and teachings they offer to the community. I am sorry if I have angered anyone but this just has to be said.
Wasalam

Congratulations to you for reading this long post. So the question is, why are there still so many out there who are being so unsupportive?! Does the fault solely lie in us? Is there even a fault in the first place?

Whatever the reasons are, I do hope that we can continue proving to these unsupportive, narrow-minded people wrong. Let’s just uphold the name of the madrasah by doing our best in our studies (e.g, get distinctions for 'O's). That's the least we can do, I guess.

Btw, I really pity Fazlur. May Allah bless you and your neice-slash-daughter.

Love, number 7.

I feel Body Language is the most important language you can learn. It bypasses the verbal communication barriers and gives you an insight into what others might be thinking, or what actions they are likely to take.
Remember that the art of being able to read body language is to be able to look at some one, pick up the signals, and at the same time not let on to that person you are doing this. If you do the person will become uncomfortable.

Tip 1. - Eyes
Dilated pupils - the person is interested in the topic.
People say that the eyes are the windows to the soul. They can tell so much information about the person if you know what you are looking for. As in most situations, the same signal can be interpreted in a different way. It depends entirely on the circumstances at hand. The example above could also mean that the person is on drugs, or it could mean that they are focused.

Tip 2. - Hands
Open palm.- the person is relaxed and comfortable.
The hands have many expressions and are a good place to start when learning how to read body language. Generally when some ones hands are open it means that their defenses are relaxed.

Tip 3 - Mimicking
When you are talking to someone, if they are mimicking your body position and action it means that they are comfortable in the situation and most likely interested by you and what you are saying.

Tip 4 - Eyes
If someone's eyes are gazing to the side it is a trait that they are feeling guilty. Likewise if they are gazing down this express's shame. Remember the eyes have so many meanings and it's easy to make the wrong evaluation. Practice makes perfect.

Tip 5 - Arms
The main two expressions with arms is that they are either closed (folded) or open. When folded the person is possibly angry or disapproving. When their arms are open the person is in an honest position and is accepting of the situation.

Tip 6 - Rubbing of the Chin
If someone is rubbing their chin it generally means that they are thinking.

Tip 7 - Feet
When you are in conversation with someone you can tell if they are comfortable and interested by what you are saying by their feet position. When standing opposite one another the other persons feet are facing in your direction. This means that they are comfortable and their head and eyes will also be focused on you.
When standing opposite someone their feet are pointing away and their head and eyes are not focused on you. They will most likely be nodding and agreeing with a fake smile. This means that the person n question is not interested and might even feel uncomfortable in the situation.

Tip 8 - Legs
When stood up Legs are a good indicator of how confident someone is. If someone is standing with their legs shoulder width apart they are relaxed. If they are standing with a stance wider than that they are a confident and are in a grounded position to show they are in control.
When stood up with legs crossed the person is probably shy.
When sitting down if the legs are crossed it shows the person is in protective mode. This is very much used alongside crossed arm action.
If the legs are open when the person is seated then they are in a relaxed position. The same as when standing.

Tip 9 - Fingers
Fingers can create many gestures and are great for reading body language. A pointing finger can either be someone pointing to a item or place, it can also indicate anger. If someone is curling their fingers tightly they are usually pleading for some thing.
Drumming or tapping with the fingers indicates frustration. The faster the beating, the greater the frustration and tension inside the person.

Tip 10 - Eyebrows
The eyebrows have many uses. Listed below are some examples. When the eye brows are raised, normally the person is shocked or surprised. The greater the surprise the more raised they will be. When someone flicks their eye brow up and down quickly they are greeting someone else or are showing they have acknowledged them.
I hope you have enjoyed learning how to read body language tips. Remember reading body language is not a skill that can be learned over night. The more you practice the easier it will become and the more subtle you will be able to do it.

love,
RAJE.
