Love

Love is a feeling that we cannot avoid. As a human, we can understand the meaning of love between human, one's self or animals. We can also show our feeling of love but in a proper ways. The first type of love that Islam calls for is the Love of Allah, praise be to him. This love avoid us from commiting sins in order to purify our heart from not knowing Him, to be a righteous person. This love is permanent and has to be sincere. Secondly, we can express our love toward our parents. They are the person who educate, raise and love us since we were childhood. So, why not we reciprocate the love they provide with respect and listen to them all the time. The last one is love between human. It is not wrong for us to love someone but there should be limits. For instance, we can love our friends as much as we love our family. They are the only person that can understand us and easy to be consulted. Last but not least, love can be nurtured and cared as long as we know all the limitations. For those who misinterpretation the meaning of love will drift in their own world.

If Only I Listen

If only I listen that my mom said to me, this kinds of things will not happen! It was Friday morning. I got up bright and breeze prepared to enjoy a stress-free long weekend in Langkawi with my cousin. During breakfast, my brother in Kuala Lumpur called. I had couriered him three stamp albums as requested. He must have called up to thank and offer me some pocket money for my Langkawi trip. The minute I said, "Hello, you do not have to thank...." he blasted away. " are you trying to sabotage me? you know how important the albums are to me. I specifically asked for the albums marked'I' for International instead you sent the 'In' the album of Indian stamps. I can not complete my project today and it is your fault. Do it now and this time get it right!" He put down the phone leaving me gaping at the phone. Devastated, I decided to do something helpful for mom. At least she would be more grateful. I collected all my soiled clothes and dumped them into the washing machine. Mom saw and shouted, "You cannot wash your clothes without check the pocket first. What if there is a important thing in the pocket. I do not want to responsible on that." I was in a bad mood, and my mother started to be bossy. That was not right! I just left her and continued my work. Then, I looked for my passport to assure myself that I had received the US visa. I was due to go on a three month exchange programme next month. Where is my passport? I looked high and low and all the likely places. But I could not find it. I sat down to retrace and recollect I had it in my pocket two days back. My Levis jeans were hanging....... " Oh no, they are in machine!" I just put them there to be washed. Waiting for the wash to be completed was an agony. I pulled out my jeans and the passport looked complete wreck! Thunderstruck, I sat very still to keep from going hysterical. I consoled myself that there was still time for me to apply new passport and visa. Wondering why such things could happen to me, I remembered what was my mother just said. Every word that come from our mother will be fulfilled. Regret! that was my feeling. I went to her room and said "I am really sorry". She just nodded and hugged me.

An Embarasing Moment In My Life

When I was in primary school, I had done something that really shameful. I was not good in Science. Every time during Science class, I would not pay any attention and sleep at the back of the class. The teacher also did not like me because I failed in Science subject whenever there were examination. My parents scolded and warned me to pass the Science paper for final exams. So I took that as a challenge. One day, I wanted to proof to my parents that I could pass for the exams. I studied hard until burned the midnight oil. Unfortunately, I woke up late and the school bus left me. I had to walk to school and it took for 20 minutes to arrive. The students entered the class and started theirs examinations. As I reached my class, everyone was staring at me. I felt the shame of being late and my teacher told me to sit down and began the examinations. I felt really tired because I ran all the ways. suddenly, I fell asleep and did not answer my Science paper. When I woke up, there was almost 9.20 a.m! I had only ten minutes to answered all the questions. I could not remembered anything that I had read last night. In panic, I tore my exam paper and shouted loudly. The students and teacher shocked with my behaviour and thought that I was hysteria. They rushedly came towards me and tried to calm me down. Then, the teacher asked me why I was being like that. I said that I could not answer the papers as I was fell asleep. Everyone laughed at me except my teacher. She was so angry. Luckily, she gave me one chance and warned me not to do so again. Once and a while, I still felt that some of the students were looking at me as I was an alien with their cynical smile. They really made me feel embarrassed that day. From that day, I promised to myself not to wake up late again. A proverb saying “ Once bite, twice shy.”

my family

Family is someone who has a relationship and consanguine with us. My family consists of six people who is my parents and siblings. We live in a same house and keep on eye for each other. I am the youngest in my family so I am the one who my parents need to support. My father is almost a six-footer when he joined the army. Now,a little bent from age, he still walks like a soldier. He marches rather than walks. Previously, my father worked as a skydiver. So he will return home once in a blue moon. I am in a bad blood about his work but as a daughter, I try to understand because he need to work to assure his own family. My father looks stern but the sparkle in his eyes belies this for as the saying goes,'his bark is worse than his bite'. We have seen his softer side especially when we were down with all the childhood illnesses. He never laid a hand on us because he does not believe in corporal punishment. He was and still my disciplinarian and guru who paved the way for my path through life. My mother is just like my friend. When I am in a hot water, she is the only person who will faithfully listen to my problems. She will gives me some advice s and try to comfort me. She is very generous, sometimes to a fault. She put the needs of the family above her own. One of the numerous ways she express her devotion to us is through her cooking. She is skill and ingenuous cook, often improvising ingredients and I am sure she must added that spoonful of love in all her dishes. My mother is courageous person as she works really hard in day and night. Honestly, I am really worried about her healthy but I have to respect her difficulty for raising her childrens with her own efforts. As I live alone without my sisters, I have to survive with my own. They are further their studies in this year. My sisters is really cheerful person. They always make me smile and know how to make jokes. They are also a lovely person as they respect me although I am their youngest sister. Same as my brother, he is the only brother I have. He is a responsible person. He will look after my mother when my father is going for outstation. He is a good son and my mother depends on him so much. I am really grateful with the family that I have now. No one can replace them.I will bear in my mind what my father said that manners defines you and your family.

A PERSON I ADMIRE

       All of the people may have someone to be admire. Same goes to me. To me admiration is a kind of respect. It is just not for fun but to build an inspiration for our sake. 

     

       A person that I admire is my cousin, Jazilah. Jazilah is the daughter of my eldest uncle and is exactly nine years older than me. We share the same birthday. I think she is a very gorgeous and pretty, she has a very clean square face. She has almond-shaped hazel-coloured eyes that sparkle especially when she smile. Her smile is mesmerising and she has perfect pearl white teeth. She has two dimples on both of her chin.

       What makes Jazilah so lovable is her sense of humour. She always brighten up my day with witty comments and amazing jokes. Although she looks like a child, she is a well manners person. She respects the elders and never disobey her parents. My cousin also very good in cooking everything, stitching clothes and excellent in her education.

   

     Jazilah is studying medicine in Melbourne. She has many positive traits and best of all her drive and persistence. She never gives up and she always give her best. This is evident in his studies. She was on average student in school but she excelled over last few years and was awarded a scholarship. 

    

   Jazilah is a true inspiration to me. I am inspired by the manner in which her succeeded, through sheer hard work and with positive attitude. She still motivates me with quotes and stories to keep my spirits up. In short, Jazilah is my personal idol and I wish to be like him someday.

What I Did Last School Holiday ?

Last holiday, my family and I having a very great holiday. My parents just took their free time and we did not want to miss the opportunity to spend the holiday together. We started our journey in the dawn to avoid the traffic. Before that, my father had to prepare for our safety , he took our car for service.  We arrived at Kelantan in the evening. The journey to Kelantan took about eight or nine hours.


First of all, we checked in to the hotel to take a nap. My parents planned to started our vacation at the museum. I learned a few of history of Kelantan. This state was known as Negeri Cik Siti Wan Kembang for a long time ago. The location of that museum was at the capital of this state, Kota Bharu. Almost one hour we walked throughout the museum to observe the artifacts and residual things. After that, we gathered at the restaurant called Wau. I was truly wanted to give a try on their tradisional foods. We ordered numerous types of foods such as Kuih Akok, Nasi Tumpang and Jalamas. That was the most delicious foods I had try.
Then, my father wanted to go back to the hotel for some rest. He had to recharge his energy for tomorrow morning.


The next morning, my mother prepared our simple breakfast. She said that the weather for today was suitable for a picnic. We decided to go for picnic at the famous beach called Cahaya Bulan. As we thought, many people visited that picturesque beach. We did various of activities such as swimming, riding jet ski and playing volley ball. My parents choosed under the shaddy tree as a picnic site. After enjoyed the scenery, we took a lunch that my mother had prepared. Our next destination was Gua Musang. I was really impressed when i saw that largest district in Kelantan. I could discover the big and unique cave by my own eyes. That was my first experienced! We finished our time for two hours in Gua Musang.


The last placed we visited were the festal nightmarket known as Pasar Siti Khadijah. Siti Khadijah nightmarket was a very special place because that was only the woman vendors could sell the stuffs.My mother took her time for shopping while my sisters photographed a lively atmosphere that night.


I bought some souvenirs for my friends.The next day was time to go home. We packed our things that night and had some rest for tomorrow journey. I really enjoyed with my family having a good day in Kelantan although there were only for three days. I hope that I can go for another holiday in one month !

My Dream !

I have two dreams and I hope I can make it a reality. I hope that I can be a skydiver like my father. He is a good skydiver. I think skydiving is a recreational activity and a competitive sport. When I was young, my father often brought me to his workstation as a diver at Banting.He thought me about parachute equipment, how to control it, tracking, skysurfing and wingsuit flying.

I should have a licence, skills and training to become a professional parachutist. Most of skydiver are injured during performing their skill training. Therefore, they need to learn about salvation when performing this challeging activity.Despite the perception of danger, fatalities are rare. The majority of jumpers tend to be non-competitive, enjoying the opportunity to "get some air" with their friends on weekends and holidays. I wish I had an oppurtunity to learn in greater depth simultaneously discharge my dream.

Secondly, if I have a lot of money, I would like to establish a school for Palestinian children who is suffering from violence. They need to continue living with the help of which we distributed to them. We need to take learned about perseverance and courage against tyranny. I would like to establish a school for Palestinian children because they too want to live like the others children that are free from cruelty. I hope that my dreams fulfilled in order to help those who are in need.

Nothing is impossible if we try and continue to strive to succeed. The successful always has a number of projects planned, to which he looks forward.  Anyone of them could change the course of his life overnight.

My Pet, Bumb !

Last year, while returning home, I heard the sound of a kitten. I was looking for his voice. apparently the cat was in pain. the cat was very cute, with blue eyes, but unfortunately the cat had a broken leg. I decided to bring the cat home. I am happy to have a pet. when I got home, I told my mother that I wanted to keep the cat. My mother was allowed on condition that I needed to keep the cat well. I had promised to not ignore it.


 I gave the name to the cat, Bumb. Every day I give the cat food, Friskies to Bumb. The cat was growing fast and good. I spent time with the cat all the time, watching television, studying, eating and sleeping regularly with the cat. I do not have friends at home because my sister studying abroad. sometimes I feel lonely, but in the presence of Bumb, I am happy. 


One day, my mother scolded me for not giving food to the cat because I felt very tired and lazy to entertain the cat. I was bored to keep it anymore. So my mother decided to give Bumb to others. I do not argue, but agree with the results of my mother. On that day my mother gave to my neighbour. 
Although I am sad, I just let my mother did as she thought.


When I returned home, I called Bumb many times. I forgot that my cat no longer at my home. I felt very lonely and wanted to cry without Bumb. I am very regret on my own acts and I told my mother that I wanted to take Bumb back. So I went to my neighbour's home. I told to her that I am really sorry for having trouble with sending the cat. She did not mind and let me took it back. She was advising me to appreciate animals and keep it sincerely. I really happy and will not do that again.
