Let’s have a look few things that I acquired since few months ago. These points become so much important to me recently.

1) Surrounded by good people
I just realized that throughout my life, I’ve surrounded by good people. Unfortunately, I always complained about my life and this attitude had blind my heart to see those good people. As I started to be more grateful with what Allah has bestowed upon, then I realized how lucky myself to surrounded by good people, since I was kid till now.

Be grateful with what you have and good life will come along it.

2) Think positive of everything
I still remember reading someone blog. The writer said, ” my lecturer said, if we want to succeed, we have also to think negative about people around us”.

I don’t know whether the above theory really work or not. But if you go through the life of successful people, you will know how did they went through it. They moving forward with positive thinking about other and everything that happened to them.

Your positive mind and thinking will generate positive energy in your life.

3) Love everyone
The word ‘love’ always to be associate with loving couple, boyfriend & girlfriend, pakwe & makwe. What people don’t realize that love have many branches; love to your parents, siblings, colleagues etc. If you can said love to you boyfriend/girlfriend, why don’t you used the same word to others. I started to use this word to my surrounded people to show how important they to me(but in funny way/joke) and believe it or not, it’s can enhance your relationship with those people.

4) Take criticism likely
Criticism might hurt you, either it be delivered politely and harshly by people. People critics you for reasons. Take positive approach will reduce of hurt feeling to yourself. Think this way: people critics you because they seen not good thing on you and want you to change that. They want you to improve and become a better person because they love you. By taking approach, you are less likely to get long-hurt feeling and will boost you to change or improve yourself based on that criticism.

Oleh sebab kat rumah sewa pun dah ada dapur, makan dapatlah saya masak benda ni buat kali pertama. Mengembalikan nostalgia semasa di UIA dulu. Cewahhh!!!

Bahan-bahan:
Roti, telur, hotdog, kentang gorang, sos, mayonis.

Cara-cara nak buat:
1. Goreng kentang sehingga garing. Kuantiti sesedap rasa.

Jangan lupa lepas tu gorang pula 2 hotdog.

2. 2 hotdog dipotong kecil-kecil dan masukkan dalam kuali

3. Campurkan sekali kentang yang telah digoreng tadi.

4. Masukkan dua biji telur dan gaul sama rata.

Inilah hasilnya bila dah digaul.

5. Masukkan ke dalam pinggan/mangkuk. Letakkan sos dan mayonis.

6. Tara!!!! Siap untuk dimakan. Kebiasaannya ia dimakan bersama dengan roti. Kalau di UIA, dimakan bersama roti perancis yang keras tu. Cepat kenyang. Tapi kat Kulim Malaysia ni, mana nak cari roti perancis?. Sebagai ganti roti gardenia pun ok la…

aMuslimHouse.com-Kadang-kadang sudah bosan makan diluar. Masak sendiri biarpun simple dan tidak berapa sedap tetap rasa puas.

This year Eidulfitri was very special for most of malaysia because we celebrated it along with our independent day. Eidulfitri was on 30 August while independent day fall on 31 August 2011. That’s what we call as ‘Merdeka Raya’.

My department, GSC organized our own eid celebration. It’s not only malay, chinese and indian but also we have arab muslim in our organization. That make not only 1Malaysia but also 1World.

Have a look few pictures;

This month is my fourth month I am working for this Canadian company. It’s a good place and environment. It is just people that is nice but also company have their own policy to make the working place is enjoyable and less stress. They not just thinking of make it profit but how to make employees comfortable with environment. So that, they can be more productivity and achieve company’s goal.

Till then, Eid Mubarak to all muslim around the world and happy independent day also to my Malaysian friends.

I wanna wish Eid mubarak to all of the muslim around the world especially my friends. For those who know me in real world I seek forgiveness from everyone who I did wrong to you, intentionally or unintentionally. I pray that Allah will forgive us all. May this Syawal bring us all happiness that we are searching for and may Allah make us one of His true believers and may He also accepts every good deeds of ours.

Namun, disebalik bulan ramadhan yang mulia, rupanya masih ada orang-orang Malaysia yang tidak memahami sensitiviti umat islam. Sikap surat khabar The Star menyiarkan stik babi dalam segment Ramadhan Delight amat dikesali. Saya tidak pasti sama ada pengarang editor akhbar tersebut sudah berapa lama tinggal di Malaysia. Kalau sejak dari kecil dia membesar di Malaysia, adalah tidak munasabah jika editor itu tidak tahu yang orang islam tidak makan babi dan minum arak melainkan dia menerbitkan artikel itu dengan niat sengaja mahu melihat sejauh mana sensitiviti umat islam. Yalah, kalau pun orang islam marah, dia boleh memohon maaf dengan alasan ia tidak disengajakan. Diharapkan perkara sebegini tidak terjadi lagi dan masing-masing harus memahami sensitiviti agama dan kaum lain, supaya keamanan yang selama ini dikecapi akan berterusan.

Berbuka di Masjid
Bulan Ogas adalah bulan ketiga saya berkerja di syarikat baru.Alhamdulilah, dengan bayaran yang lebih baik dan skop kerja yang lebih sesuai. Oleh sebab waktu berkerja bermula 3 pm dan pulang pula tengah malam, saya selalu berbuka puasa di Masjid. Hendak pulang ke rumah adalah mustahil kerana saya berkerja di Kulim manakala rumah sewa pula di Sungai Petani. Rakan sekerja pula kebanyakannya perempuan.Jadi pilihan yang lebih baik adalah berbuka puasa di masjid bersama-sama jemaah. Kebiasaaanya saya membawa makanan sendiri yang dibeli di tepi jalan walaupun masjid telah menyediakan juadah berbuka puasa yang kebisaannya adalah nasi berlauk ayam, daging dan sebagainya.

Apa yang menyentuh hati saya ialah sikap seorang lelaki yang menjadikan saki baki lauk berbuka di masjid sebagai makanan untuk dibawa balik kepada keluarganya. Setelah selesai jemaah berbuka puasa, salah seorang anaknya akan mengambil bekas makanan yang mengandungi saki baki lauk pauk dan memasukkan ke dalam bekas makanan yang dibawa dari rumah. Saya berkesempatan untuk berbuka bersamanya. Tanpa bertanya, mungkin kerana memahami sikap jemaah yang melihat sikap anaknya yang memasukkan makanan ke dalam bekas, dia memberitahu yang anaknya ramai dan adalah lebih baik makanann-makanan yang tidak habis itu dibawa pulang daripada dibuang sahaja ke dalam tong sampah. Antara sedih, terkejut dan merasakan jijik, segala perasaan itu dibawa bersama sehingga ke rumah.

Somalia
Di Somalia, negara yang dilanda konflik dalaman ynag berlarutan sejak merdeka dari England dan Itali sejak 1960,rakyatnya hidup dalam kemiskinan dan kebuluran. Dilaporkan sejumlah 3.2 juta dari 9.4 juta rakyat Somalia kini memerlukan bantuan untuk hidup. PBB melaporkan 30,000 orang kanak-kanak mati akibat kekurangan makanan dan 600,000 kanak-kanak masih dalam bahaya. Somalia bolehlah dikatakan sebuah negara yang gagal akibat konflik dalaman yang berpanjangan. Negara gagal ialah Negara yang tidak dapat menjamin keselematan dan kesejahteraan rakyatnya dan tidak berupaya menyediakan program pembangunan asas ekonomi dan sosial untuk rakyatnya.

Somalia terbahagi kepada 18 wilayah dengan beberapa wilayah mempunyai kuasa autonomi sendiri seperti Puntland dan Somaliland. Pemerintahan yang mendapat pengiktirafan antarabangsa ialah Kerajaan Persekutuan Transisitional(TFG) yang ditubuhkan pada 2004 dan menguasai beberapa kawasan di Mogadishu dan tengah Somalia. TFG dipimpin oleh Presiden Shari Ahmad dan Perdana Menteri Sbdiweli Moahamd Ali.

(Picture)
Konflik peperangan yang berlaku di Somalia tertumpu kepada pertentangan senjata antara Al Shabab dengan permerintahan TFG yang mendapat sokongan barat. Al Shabab asalnya adalah pasukan bersenjata Islamic Courts Union(ICU) yang memerintah somalai sebelum ini. Akibat daripada serangan Ethopia dengan bantuan Amerika pada 2006, muncullah Al Shabab.

Masalah kemiskinan dan kebuluran teruk yang melanda Somalia ini dapat dielakkan jika langkah-langkah proaktif diambil. Sebab utamanya iaitu kemarau yang berpanjangan yang memusnahkan tanaman dan mengakibtkan kematian manusia dan ternakan dapat dikurangkan jika konflik peperangan tidak berlaku, terutamanya jika campur tangan itu melibatkan kuasa barat. Tanpa konflik peperangan, bantuan dapat disalurkan dengan cepat tanpa perlu badan-badan bantuan antarabangsa merasa risau dan takut. Negara-negara di dunia yang mempunyai kedudukan ekonomi yang stabil perlu menyediakn pelan kontigensi dan kawasan penyimpanan khas makanan dan perubatan untuk kes-kes kecemasan seperti kebuluran ini. Jika berlaku bencana, bantuan dapat disalurkan dengan segera dan sekaligus menyelamatkan nyawa rakyat yang terlibat terutamanya kanak-kanak. Namun apa yang berlaku sekarang ialah apabila berlakunya bencana, barulah badan-badan dunia bertindak untuk menyampaikan bantuan. Akibatnya, bantuan yang sampai agak lewat dan kadang-kadang berlaku penyelewengan dalam proses pemberian makanan dan ini meyebabkan keadaan rakyat somalia bertambah teruk.

Dalam kita teruja untuk menyambut hari raya, marilah kita berfikir sejenak betapa bertuahnya kita dilahirkan di Malaysia. Cukup makan, cukup minum dan tiada konflik walaupun hakikatnya kita datang dari perbagai bangsa. Kita punya pemimpin yang berwawasan dan sentiasa berkerja dan mahukan yang terbaik untuk rakyat.

Di Malaysia, kalau anda tidak sempat berbuka di rumah atau tidak sempat membeli makanan di bazaar, ada tidak perlu risau. Berbuka sahaja di masjid, pasti ada makanan yang disediakan. Paling tidak pun kalau bukan nasi, kuih-muih dan beberapa biji buah kurma sudah cukup untuk mengalas perut sebelum diisi dengan makanan yang lebih berat. Keadaan ini sangat berbeza di Somalia. Bayangkan jika pada bulan-bulan lain pun mereka tidak mempunyai makanan, apatah lagi bulan puasa. Tatkala kita enak berbuka puasa dengan air tebu, murtabak dging dan ayam panggang, apa agaknya juadah berbuka mereka, barangkali hanya bubur nasi dan air sejuk.

aMuslimHouse.com-Selamat menjalani ibadah puasa, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, maaf zahir batin dan selamat menyambut ulang tahun kemerdekaan negara yang ke-54. 1 Syawal disyukuri, 31 Ogos dihayati.

Definition of happiness from Mr. Wikepedia.

Happiness is a mental state of well-being characterized by positive emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy.A variety of biological, psychological, religious, and philosophical approaches have striven to define happiness and identify its sources.

So, happiness is something that subjective. There is no absolute definition. What make you happy might not work for others. After all, it’s all about how we perceive our life. What we want.

So what are some strategies that make you happy?

For some of it might be just the smell of an apple pie in the oven — or the taste of it in your mouth! Others might look to an accomplishment to make them happy.

For an author perhaps it is finally finishing a book, for a mountain climber it may be reaching the peak

For a bird watcher see that special bird he/she has been watching for. Still others may find happiness in the world of nature – a spectacular sunset, a beautiful bird, the calming effect of the ocean or a lake.

A poor father will be happy if his children can enter university and get the scroll of degree even in the eyes of others the degree alone will not guarantee to get a good job.

A new graduate student feel excited and happy after finally there is company that willing to hire him/her.

A girls will be happy when a man,her long life lover proposed for marriage.

A leader of the country will happy when get votes in election and can lead the country for the next term. He happy to serve rakyat again.

An imam in the mosque surely will happy when he see the number of people that attend the daily prayers in mosque increases. He knows this means people’s awareness has increased and Islam is main priority in people’s life.

For most of people, the value/definition of happiness change over the time.

What Makes Me Happy?
For me, I am feel very happy when people around me happy.Ya,can’t you believe that?

Really???

Ya.

I feel very happy when a friend told me their cheer and happy story like when they get a new job and find the love.

Last week,a friend of mine buy a new car, a Proton Perdana V6. He was so happy. He was telling me to buy that car long time ago and finally make it reality. The thing that make me happy is because he has nothing much in his life. He was born in poor family and because of poverty, he never finish the school, I mean the proper education. He only learn religious matters in ‘pondok’(the tradisional institution for learning islamic teaching). Because of his family background, he knows nobody will respect him. That’s why when he got a chance to but the Perdana V6, he feel so happy because he think by that way people will respect him.

Even I disagree with his way to buy that exclusive car with the intention to show off, but still appreciate and respect his feeling to be happy with that way.He has the right to feel happy.

Why? Because I know, If you have nothing, nobody will cares of you.

Alhamdulilah, as the life goes on, I start to release a lot of things. Happiness is not something you can touch. People can take photo of their own, showing their smiling face and put it of Facebook. When friends look to this picture, they think she/he is happy. However, that’s not true. Yes at the time the picture is captured but at the time when friends see the picture, it might turn different.

Happiness is something that we chase. When we get what we want, we start looking other things to chase or make us happy. That’s the way life works.

Anyway, remember this quote, from a lecturer that regularly give tazkirah every thursday after As’r at IIUM mosque.

There is no real happiness in this life until the death is coming

The Ways To Make Happy
1. Putting yourself first can help you to identify ways that make you feel happy.

2. Be open to really appreciating the opportunities to feel good during the day.If you focus on the present and really appreciate what is going on around you, you may in fact find some things that will make you happy that you might have missed in the past.

3. Appreciating the small pleasures in life can go a long way in increasing your happiness quotient.

4. Put on a happy face and walk confidently with long strides and arms swinging and eyes straight ahead.

5. Spend time with happy people.

6. Daydream about a time and place that you felt completely happy.
(Reference from here)

United is my favorite team since 11 years old. I was dreaming to be footballer at that age.Till now, United is still the best.But since I left IIUM, the passion to watch the game has decrease. I don’t have the same passion as I was in the campus.

When I watched the game last night at Nasi Kandar restaurant, It bring old memories back, the time I and friends spent time together watch football at campus. The main venue was the Mahalla Farouk Cafe. It was crowded with local and international student (and that’s the beauty of it). Normally, for the big game, student will come early to make sure they will have the nice place and spot to sit in front of the TV. When the United score goal,the whole mahalla will noisy with the voice of the fans, screaming and cheering.

Interview
I attended the interview last Wednesday. It was open interview.I just try my luck because the positions available not related to my field of study. The company is the manufacturer of computer components and I graduated in biochemical engineering. The only ‘valuable asset’ that I bring during the interview was about my final year project. That’s why in the beginning of the interview, I told the interviewer about my project which a part of it(project) related to the engineering process and he seems to impress of my explanation.

Ya, I think the interviewer don’t care much about it. What most company looking is the characters, attitudes and the ability of the candidate to work in a group, show some of social skills. That is the important thing you in workplace. Having the good academic qualification will not give you much advantage if you don’t have those things.

Next week, few things will happen. So, wait for my next weekly update.
