Summer is here!

Yup. It is summer somewhere in this world. but not Malaysia. Malaysia is all year hot and humid. But the coming month would be very hot as temperature is rising.

And hot news, three streaks of COPA. College Outstanding Performance Award. what performance? academic performance of course! and I couldn't thank enough of those people who are involved and cotributed to my success. What i learnt for years now, success are not alone. They come together.

Back on my schooldays, I am quite a scorer. Maybe not top, but enough to make other kids jealous. But I am not happy. Y? Reason 1, maybe i am not the top scorer. I am average. That is nothing to be proud about. yeah. In the middle does not make u stand out to much. Reason 2, I am not being thankful. I thought that i can do it on my own. Yes I can, but it does not worth it. Other people make success together and they celebrate. I work alone and then when success come, i don't know what to do with it. Now, I learn to be top and learn to celebrate. The right way to celebrate is being happy for everyone else achievement!

Lots of people are in rage of jealousy and i am not denying i am jealous too. I am the biggest jealous monster ever and it is hiding somewhere in the dark. I want to learn to control my jealousy with patience and being thankful for what i had. I would work harder to achieve better. I start to mingle with people, learn to lower my expectation and be sociable. Now, success is more celebrated and enjoyable.

Some people have different goals in life. And those goals are their success to be. My goals? I want to be able to help people be successful and achieve their dreams. I dream big, i work hard and i help people. That is what I do and that is what defines me.

And congratulations to all 102 people who received the same award this time. :D

Down is the only way up.

I knew it from a long long time ago.

I know this day would come. And i do not expect it to be this soon. They day that people will question my credibility and reliability because of what i have achieve before, is not what i achieve now. The day that people put a smirk on their face when i fall. the day that people feel like teasing me because of i am too, a failure, like they are.

When you have achieve something, people wil expect you to keep it up. They start hoping that someday you will take all the responsibility while they linger in laziness. Ignorence is a bliss. But when you do not come out  to their expectation, they are dissapointed. I kill those hope. I did not meet their expectation. I am not going to take the responsibility that everyone should have carry themselves. I am no superman.

These society should realize that, one's achievement is not a gateway to super intelligence nor super human strength. I have showed them how to tackle it using the right strategy. And i have showed them again that truly, i am a normal person. Without the correct strategy, no normal person can achieve success. Success is temporary, that you must keep up all the time. Being successful is truly a big waste of time. You can spend so much time being succesfull and yet, not enjoying the best thing that life can offer. Because being successful is a thing that lies within the eyes of the beholder, and each of these eyes, holds a different definition for success.and no, you can't be that successful infront of all those eyes.

I know this day will come. But i do not expect it to be this soon. Now, it have, i am here to surf the wave. up and down, up and down.

Student Representative Council

As the name shows, Student Representative Council (SRC) is a bridge between students and the administration. They represent us, the students. The point is, we want someone who can negotiate, brave and brilliant to represent us. People who can make things done. People who talk the talk and walk the walk. Poeple who come out with problem solving instead of whining.

Being a student, we should be responsible of our action. We are responsible of choosing our representative. If we do not, we are the one who suffers the consequences. We are the one who will be unsatisfied. We are the one who will be whining over things that are out of our control.

Be wise. Stand up for your right. Stand up for a better future. Vote for your representative.

In my humble opinion, being SRC does not make anyone more powerful. Yes, you have more responsibilities but it does not allow you to be such an arrogant or an asshole. It also does not make you more special or better than others. You are still a student who need to attend classes and complete assignments on time. And the most important thing is, you made your promises. Fulfill it.

I hope there will be good leaders in the coming SRC election. If they are not good by default, I wish them to get better and better as time goes by.

All the best for this coming SRC election.

Selamat hari raya!

Thank You Everybody

Al-Kisah Leper Empat

Leper empat, atau English nya Four Flat sudah tentu menjadi idaman rata-rata manusia yang bergelar pelajar kolej atau universiti. Rasaksa pon tak terkecuali. Rasaksa rasa sangat puas hati dan lega bila Rasaksa dapat result hari ini, dan tertulis 4.00 di ruangan CGPA :D

Rasaksa rasa macam hendak tumbuh kepak dan terbang ke awan... kemudian kepal-kepalkan awan itu dan tuliskan

THANK YOU MAMA AND PAPA! MY LECTURERS! MY BESTIES! MY CLASSMATES! MY COLLEGEMATES! AND EVERYONE ELSE!

Rasaksa memang rasa sangat gembira dan bersyukur dengan rezeki yang ALLAH kurniakan. Rasaksa dapat banyak ucapan tahniah dari kawan-kawan dekat Facebook Rasaksa. Rasaksa sangat hargai keprihatinan anda semua. Terima kasih semua!

Tapi, disebalik kejayaan ini, Rasaka sedar siapa rasaksa. Rasaksa cuma pelajar semester 1. Baru sahaja bermula. Ada 5 lagi semester yang akan diharungi. Banyak lagi sebenarnya yang Rasaksa hendak belajar.

Pada pendapat Rasaksa, keputusan Leper Empat lebih kepada kepuasan untuk diri sendiri. Hakikatnya, Leper Empat tidak mempunyai makna yang besar dalam dunia realiti. Cuba anda fikir, Rasaksa ambil jurusan Keusahawanan. Rasaksa hendak tunjuk Leper Empat dekat siapa? Pelanggan? Pengedar barangan? Jurujual? Sudah tentu tidak! Kalau yang kerja makan gaji mungkin boleh meyakinkan boss mereka untuk ambil mereka bekerja, tetapi situasi Rasaksa nyata sekali berbeza. Tapi Leper Empat ini merupakan satu cabaran yang Rasaksa cabar diri sendiri untuk dapatkannya. Rasaksa rasa sangat puas bila rasaksa dapat mencapai sasaran Rasaksa. Perasaannya hampir sama seperti sewaktu Rasaksa menang perlumbaan kereta maya dekat komputer riba pinjaman...

Jika Rasaksa betul-betul nak berjaya dalam bidang ini, banyak lagi Rasaksa kena belajar. Rasaksa perlu belajar komunikasi, belajar urus masa, belajar selok belok perniagaan, dan banyak lagi sebenarnya. Dan untuk mengurangkan rasa tekanan, meraikan kejayaan diri sendiri sangat membantu! Rasaksa tidak mahu sejarah lama berulang lagi. Bagi Rasaksa, cukuplah sekali merasa peritnya kehidupan. Tidak perlu diulang tayang berkali-kali.

Banyak lagi tanggungjawab dan kerja-kerja yang belum selesai. Sebenarnya Rasaksa digalas dengan banyak tanggungjawab tapi Rasaksa tidak mampu hendak jalankan semuanya dengan baik. Rasaksa rasa sangat bersalah terutamanya dengan beberapa orang tertentu. Rasaksa harap semuanya akan berjalan dengan lancar.  Leper Empat ialah pengubat kesedihan dan segala kedukaan Rasaksa. Apa yang Rasaksa canang-canangkan akhirnya menjadi kenyataan. Walaupun begitu, Rasaksa sedikit terkilan sebab rakan-rakan Rasaksa masih ramai yang belum dapat merasai apa yang Rasaksa rasa. Rasaksa doakan semoga rakan-rakan Rasaksa akan dapat juga nikmat macam Rasaksa dapat sekarang ini. Rasaksa hendak minta maaf kalau rakan-rakan rasa terabai semasa bersama-sama berjuang. Kadang-kadang, Rasaksa terlepas pandang dan leka dengan diri Rasaksa sahaja, terlupa mahu ambil peduli hal sekeliling.

Rasaksa sangat galakkan rakan-rakan semua untuk berusaha mendapatkan Leper Empat, bukan untuk bermegah atau bukan untuk tujuan lain-lain, tetapi sebagai satu cabaran dan satu tanda aras untuk kita muhasabah diri kita. Akhirnya, tempat kita bukan disini. Tapi disinilah hala tuju kita yang seterusnya ditentukan... Amat Victor Curam.

Hero: Emerges out of the mission

When there is a mission, a hero will emerge soon. Hero, who execute the mission to realize the vision. Hero who have good values in achieving the goal. Nobody is a hero without a mission. Hero and their mission co exist.

Hero.

How to be a hero?

Sakit Kepala, Sakit Jantung, Sakit hati...

sebab nak menunggu keputusan peperiksaan yang akan keluar hanya selepas 2 minggu lagi... dah lah duit pendaftaran x tau bape...

Cuti Semester: Penantian Suatu Yang Menyiksakan

Tahukah anda perkara yang lebih mencabar dari menjawab peperiksaan? Ya, menunggu keputusan peperiksaan. AAARRGGGHHH! bilakah keputusan akan keluar?

Hidup dalam peperiksaan

Memang hidup kita sepanjang hayat akan ada macam-macam peperiksaan. Cuba anda bayankan hidup tanpa peperiksaan? Susah rasanya mahu tentukan tahap keupayaan dan kemahiran kita.

Cuba kita lihat peperiksaan dari sudut seorang pelajar. Apabila seorang pelajar telah melalui tempoh pengajian tertentu, maka dia akan diuji dengan peperiksaan.

Untuk pengetahuan anda semua, saya ada peperiksaan akhir semester 1.

Itu sahaja yang saya mahu tulis.

Rasaksa simpati dengan orang jepun

Kasihan mereka semua, sudah jatuh ditimpa tangga.

Sudahlah rumah ranap dipukul ombak, loji nuklear pula memberi ancaman.

Bila rasaksa tengok CNN, memang dahsyat dugaan yang menimpa mereka.

Sebenarnya Rasaksa juga ada saudara-mara dan kawan-kawan dekat sana terutamanya Godzilla dan Ultraman. Tapi rasaksa marah sangat bila rasaksa tengok kat internet ade kartunis Berita Harian yang lukis Ultraman lari dari Tsunami.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Tidak ada sensitiviti lagi kah orang Malaysia sekarang? Tidak kah mereka terfikir perkara sebegini menyinggung perasaan orang lain lebih-lebih lagi mereka yang sedang dalam kesusahan, terutamanya keluarga mangsa? Memanglah Jepun itu sebuah negara maju, tetapi itu tidak bermaksud mereka perlu disindir atau dihina kerana sesuatu yang diluar kekuasaan manusia untuk mengawalnya.

Cubalah ambil iktibar dari negara Jepun, walaupun negara mereka dilanda gempa bumi dan Tsunami sejak sekian lama, mereka jauh lebih maju dari Malaysia yang aman damai tenteram lagi harmoni ini (harmoni lagi ke setelah ada manusia yang mengganggu keharmonian itu?). Mereka tidak takut untuk gagal, kerana mereka yakin dengan kekuatan yang ada, mereka boleh memajukan negara mereka. Kegagalan dalam sesuatu pekerjaan bukan beerti anda gagal sepenuhnya, tetapi anda gagal jika tidak pernah mencuba.

Sifat kaizen yang diamalkan orang Jepun cukup Rasksa kagumi. Falsafah kaizen ialah ambil yang baik, buang yang buruk dan perbaharui @ naik taraf! Inilah sikap yang masih lagi kurang dikalangan orang Malaysia kita. Rasaksa harap kita semua dapat mengambil iktibar dari kejadian yang menimpa Jepun ini.

ps: Rasaksa mendoakan keselamatan semua kawan-kawan dan saudara mara rasaksa disana, semoga sentiasa dalam lindungan Allah. Tidak lupa juga, takziah kepada keluarga mangsa, my deepest condelence towards the victims' families.

Berbasikal di Melaka

Seronok!

Inilah kali pertama aku naik basikal ronda ronda kota Melaka.
Dulu cuma dengar aje cerita bapak aku.. Sekarang aku dah dapat merasa.

Menunggang basikal disekitar Melaka memang seronok. Walaupun dah banyak kali aku round kota melaka ni, tapi meronda dengan basikal memang satu pengalaman yang berbeza. aku boleh lalu dekat celah-celah lorong kota melaka dengan lebih lancar. Bila rasa dah penat berenti je kejap dan nikmati panorama kota Melaka yang unik, satu pertembungan antara kemodenan dan sejarah.

Yang lebih penting, aku tak perlu bayar minyak atau terlibat dengan kesesakan lalu lintas.

Hardworking: Attitude that pays off

In todays global world, lots of people underatted the importance of hardworking. they are substituting hardworking with procrastinating. These kind of people are delusional and deceived by their own thinking of cutting corners and taking shortcuts. Some just do it illegally and smartly avoided the authority, for quite sometimes.

To succeed in anything, one requires a hardworking attitude. Depending on how successful you want to be, hardworking is proportional with your goals. The more success you want, more hardworking task need to be done.

Living hardworking and living hardship is two different things. Being a hardworking person, you are leaving hardship bit by bit. Hardworking does not mean doing the same thing the hard way, but more like inventing new ways to work things out and put it to work. Hardworking is a more realistic approach in overcoming difficulties. Life will always provide a challenge for you to overcome, and by being a hardworking person, you will constantly solve the problems by working it out instead of just thinking and assuming what will happen or what should be done.

My uncle was once a government doctor before he become a private doctor, which always mean more pays and satisfaction. But he does not earn it easily. When he was serving the government, he took all chances to increase his knowledge and experience while some doctors are loitering around and playing truants. Note that not all doctors are that hardworking. He attends more surgery than his colleagues and learn more skills and solutions from his seniors. This provide him the confidence and the courage to leave the government and take new challenge as a private doctor, which really pays off. He is paid 3 times higher from his previous position and feel more satisfied as he is able to serve his customer the best service he can give.

Not all of us are doctors. But all of us can be a hardworking person and be successful. And all of us are able to be hardworking person, no matter what is our background, our abilities and our financial status.

Start being a hardworking person today and leave hardship behind.

Of miracle and cynical

Magically, we are born as human.

NOT!

We are here for a purpose. Not waiting for miracle nor being cynical about others.

Wait... what is our purpose again?

I have only created Jinns and men, that they may serve Me. (Adz-Dzaariyaat 51:56)

How is that even possible?

Yes my brothers, we are living for the purpose of serving the one and only god.

We all know servants is the lowest job ever existed in this world. Anybody are qualified as a servant. but hey, if you fail to be a servant, don't even think to start talking about being a leader [Caliphs] whatsoever.

Only after we passed our duty as a servant, then we do our other responsibilities, as a leader, of ourself, our community, our nation, and our world.

We have too many responsibilities to be fulfilled that we do not have time to waste by being cynical or waiting for a miracle to happen. Don't just dream about being pretty, rich, influential, or smart. Be it! Live those dream! Work hard! Think beyond! Sky is the limit! Don't just think, do it!

First, learn to overcome sadness. Next, learn from mistakes. Lastly, do not repeat the same mistake twice. This could be your simplest guide to face any failure in the future. It is so simple that so many people take it lightly and abandon those simple logics.

Be it, hard way, easy way, highway, low way, even no way there is a way back there.

Now, don't look back to those sad memory.
Enjoy!



"WHERE WE STOP NOBODY KNOWS"

Latihan tali tinggi JPAM

Sudah menjadi kewajipan setiap pelajar semester 1 KPMBM perlu menyertai JPAM samada rela atau tidak.

Tetapi bagi aku, JPAM bukanlah seteruk mana. Hanya mereka yang merasakan JPAM itu suatu penyeksaan sahaja akan merasa terseksa. Mereka tidak tahu bagaimana untuk bersyukur atas sesuatu ketentuan tuhan...

Lulus latihan JPAM ialah syarat wajib graduasi. Mereka yang gagal tidak boleh mendapat sijil Diploma. Itulah syarat yang telah ditetapkan. Syarat itu bukanlah tidak masuk akal, malahan jauh sekali menyusahkan. Hanya mereka yang susah menerima kenyataan sahaja menganggap semuanya susah. serba serbi tidak kena.

Ahad 12 Februari 2011. Kami semua dibawa untuk menjalani Latihan Tali Tinggi di Pantai Puteri Melaka. Satu pengalaman yang sukar untuk dilupakan. Inilah kali pertama aku mencuba atviti "abseiling" ini. Sebelum kami bermula, Tuan Kamaruddin, staff latihan JPAM mengajar kami Kawad A N D. hanya gelak tawa mampu mengiringi aktiviti ini.

Kami semua dipecahkan kepada 2 kumpulan. Aku termasuk dalam kumpulan B. Kumpulan A menjalani latihan ikatan dan simpulan ketika sesi pagi itu. Kami pula, menjalani latihan tali tinggi.

Ini kali pertama aku mencuba aktiviti ini, jadi sudah tentu aku punya kerisauan aku sendiri. tetapi, dengan bantuan staff, aku berjaya juga menuruni menara keselamatan setinggi 3 tingkat itu. Walaupun agak kekok dan tidak sempurna, tapi aku berjaya mengatasi rasa takut dan kerisauan dalam hati.

Menunggu peserta lain menjalani latihan adalah perkara yang cukup membosankan hingga aku tertidur di atas kerusi. Sememangnya hembusan lembut bayu laut begitu mengasyikkan walau terik mentari bersinar cemerlang. Nasib baik sekitar pantai ini terdapat pelbagai flora dan tempat untuk berteduh dari terik mentari.

Tengahari kami berhenti berhat untuk solat Zohor dan lunch. Alhamdulillah. Semuanya tersedia, pengangkutan, makan minum, dan yang paling penting pengalaman yang tidak mungkin dilupakan.

Petang itu, kami mempelajari teknik simpulan dan ikatan. Kami dibawa di tepi pantai yang berpasir tetapi diteduhi pokok-pokok yang menghijau.

Staff mengajar kami ikatan-ikatan mudah seperti thumbknot, buku sila, simpul manuk, bowline, ikatan kerusi, dan ikatan pencuri. Pelbagai gelagat pelatih yang berasal dari latar belakang berbeza menggeletek jiwa. Mereka yang pernah aktif dalam badan beruniform mungkin sudah mengetahui kaedah ikatan tetapi bukan semua pelatih aktif berpersatuan sebelumnya.

Tiba-tiba, staf mengagihkan kumpulan kami kepada lelaki dan perempuan. maka bermulalah pertandingan untuk menguji kemahiran ikatan kami. Lelaki berjaya menyiapkan 6 ikatan lebih awal berbanding perempuan. Sebagai denda, kesemua pelatih perempuan diarahkan untuk ke pantai dan meniru aksi penyu bertelur!

sebelum pulang kami semua bermain suatu permainan yang berbentuk serangan diantara kumpulan-kumpulan kecil. Kompeni kami semua dibahagi kepada 10 kumpulan dan setiap kumpulan diarahkan untuk memilih satu lagu P Ramlee. Setiap kumpulan perlu menyanyi lagu mereka sebelum "menyerang" kumpulan lain dengna cara menyebut nombor kumpulan yang diserang. Kumpulan kami menyanyikan lagu 'Maafkan Kami' dari filem pendekar bujang lapok merupakan kumpulan yang keempat terakhir keluar.

Ketika kami semua beratur sebelum menaiki bas, Student Trainer memberikan hamper kepada setiap platoon. Wah, seronoknya kerana mendapat hamper beserta gelaran Platoon Terbaik. CHARLIE!

Akhirnya setelah selesai, kami semua bertolak pulang ke Asrama KPMBM. Sungguh! Ini lah satu pengalaman yang menyeronokkan.

Enjoy

According to Dictionary.com, enjoy refers to "to find or experience pleasure for oneself".

Enjoy.
When is the last time you enjoy yourself?
I felt the tight tension among the people around. They seems to be not enjoying themselves. This must be happening for some reason.

I could thought of one. Probably they are not passionate about doing what they are doing right now. They do it because they don' t have any other choices, or maybe they are too afraid of other choices and making a difference.

It is enjoying if you are passionate and having a burning desire of doing things you like. You could enjoy your study in many ways. Don't let your problems be your factor of disenjoyment. Make your study time fun and active. Enjoy every new knowledge you gain and enjoy reciting your old knowledge.

It is all about how you response to a situation. People are affected by stimuli. But, god also provide us with choice. We are able to choose. We can choose our response towards those stimuli that is ruining or making a mess of our life.

Enjoy your life, whatever you do or got to do.

MISRA

Ini bukan kali pertama aku menjejakkan kaki ke bumi Melaka. Tapi ini kali pertama aku menjejakkan kaki ke bumi dengan seribu satu sesalan dan harapan.

Assalamualaikum dan selamat sejahtera.

2011 bakal mencatat sejarah baru dengan tertubuhnya blog Aku Budak Melaka.
Blog terbaru dari aku, Faaris Abdul Ghafar, akan menumpukan kepada catatan aku selama pengajian aku dekat bumi bersejarah ini.
