December 4 until 10, me and my son Akmal waas on holiday in England. We departed from KK to Brunei on the 3rd of december. On the same day we left Brunei to London. We stop for transit at Dubai which scheduled fo over an hour, unfortunately it was delayed for lmost 3 hours! We are scheduled to arrive around 6.30 in the morning of 4th december 2017, instead we arrived around 10.45 in the morning. it doesn't really matters as we can only check in at the hotel at 2 pm. We took a train going to Hammersmith, from there we took a bus to Bayswater, where our hotel situated. I booked our hotel online and it was one of the cheapest we can get for less than 3 months before departure. It was Wedgewood hotel. Not bad, very basic but it's  comfortable enough, though a bit dirty especially the carpet, but it served it's purpose. I would stay there again if it is still the cheapest we can get. We did arrived safely at the hotel, thanks to my son who manage to go through the map quite correctly. As I said earlier, we arrived at the hotel around 12 pm, so we are not allowed to check-in yet however the hotel let us leave our bags at their store so that we can go for our first sight seeing! Yeay! Will be continued...    

BENGKEL PENULISAN BLOG

MasyAllah, it has been many years since I last wrote in my blog! Thanks to this workshop, I eventually have the chance to open my blog. At this moment, as I am writing, we are still discussing about MCMC, talking about telecommunication rules and regulation. It makes me hungry 😁😂! It seems a bit boring, though it is important for us to know, but it takes ages. 

   I came for the purpose to learn and to polish-up my writing skill, so it seems a bit way out of the thing that I am expecting! I think these women are more interested with the speaker 😂😂😂. 

   Alhamdullillah, finally the questioning ended. We are given 5 minutes break.

   The title is "Why Blog?" Should I start a Blog? 34 things to know (before you start). Okay, we'll what is it going to be. It is 3 minutes before 12 p.m., but we are no way near the workshop we are attending here for. Half of the day was thrown away only for the SKMM session. Is it beneficial? Ya.. I think it is. Not knowing what we are facing if we go over board will definitely put us in hot water, so I guess it is good to know the work that the MCMC people are doing, so that when we have problem especially with defamation or fake news, we will know where to turn to.

  But, hey what is going on here? It's already 2 minutes pass 12, but we are still waiting for the real workshop to start!

We need to know what we want to write, and make sure that it is something that people what to read. It must be something captivating, for example let say you want to make a chair, tell that this chair is also something else that people want to know.

Interesting new knowledge. No wonder my blog has no follower 😂😂😂, probably because I wrote something which does not interest others!!!

Well, inshaa Allah I will try better after this. Hopefully I'll become a great writer, not only as a blogger, but a novelist, aamiinnnn.

Please pray for my success ya...💓💓💓

Be thankful...

Assalamualaikum warramatulahi tahala wabarakatu, such a fine day today, unfortunately I myself is not quite fine. But I try not to entertain the sick feeling by doing the house chores as much as possible, that includes making breakfast for my only son, sweeping the floor and mop it. Now I feel quite okay, thank you Allah for giving me the opportunity to breath and feeling much better now :-).
                               Now I'm listening to selawat to the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam, very nice lyrics and music, one can cry just by listening to it. everything that we go through each day is with Allah's plan and will, no need to complain just accept it with patient, in shaa Allah it will be worthwhile, for Allah subhana watah a'la knows best for each and every creation of Him.
                              Today I plan to just relax and write something here. Well actually my idea of writing has run out. Probably because of the unhealthy body give effects to the healthy mind! well I must think positive. So do all of us. If we continue to think just because we are sick, thus we must always stay in bed and sleep all day long, I think that will be a waste of time. There will be time for us to sleep forever, BUT definitely not while we are still breathing, right? sick or healthy we must not surrender to the whisper of our heart to just do nothing. Even when we feel so tired and have no energy to do anything, think that even those who have so many obstacle in their life still can hurdle it with little or no complain at all, for example those who are living inGaza. They are so strong even the little when they have so many of their relatives and friends died, they can still smmile, whereas for us here, by seeing their misfortune has made us cried! But truly they teach us to be strong in whatever situation we are in. Hence I'm determine to be strong no matter what! But of course as human there are times when we need to stop an dcry for our weaknesses and sins that we did, so that we can repent and make a just reflections on our life, so that we can be a better person in shaa Allah. Well tha's all for now, may be will write again later, till then be steadfast in doing the good deeds, aameen :-)...

Bangun pagi agak terlewat sikit hari ni, kelam kabut mau solat subuh! Alhamdulillah, dah solat subuh, dapat lagi solat dhuha. Kami pun bincang-bincang mau pigi mana lagi hari ni? Lepas tu kami pun bercadang pi Putrajaya, melawat bos di ofisnya, kemudian terus ikut pi rumahnya bawa dorang si Ali Asin sekali dengan bininya si Jum.Sampai ofis, lambat juga baru terjumpa dengan bos, tapi malangnya moodnya tak bagus, so aku pun malas nak layan, nanti hati jadi panas, lagi tak selesa, so lebih baik diam-diam jak di pantry room walaupun perut sudah berkeroncong kelaparan! Lagi pun ada manusia macam perangai monyet dalam ofisnya, jadi kami-kami pun malas mau layan, tambah bikin sakit hati ja nanti! Apa pun perut tetap lapar, tunggu punya tunggu akhirnya dapat juga kami sisa makanan, alhamdulillah ;-).
               Akhirnya kira-kira jam 3.30 petang bos datang jenguk kami di bilik si Bobby,'erm...sapa mau ikut aku balik?', tengok kiri, tengok kanan, nada yang menjawab, akhirnya aku pun volunteer ikut. So aku pun ikut bos naik keretanya balik ke presint 10C putrajaya. Okay sudah moodnya, tapi cuaca di luar pula yang mendung menderam! Sampai jer di rumah, ada pula orang hantar kereta si Suzi, baru sampai, alhamdulillah. Jadi ada sudah kenderaannya sendiri, bolehlah dia jalan-jalan sudah tanpa perlu tunggu sopir!!!
               Ali Asin sibuk bergambar, dari dalam sampai ke luar rumah! Nenek Angah pun gembira dapat peluang jadi model terjun, temankan si Aliasin bergambar. Si Jum pun tidak mau ketinggalan, biar tiada orang tolong ambil gambar, dia sanggup ambil gambar sendiri, kasiaaan! Aku pun jadi jurufoto tidak bertauliah ambil gambar dorang. Maklumlah first time dorang suami-isteri tu datang ke putrajaya, kesian juga, so tolonglah ambil gambar. Tapi sebelum tu, sempat juga aku jadi massiuer, urut bos, sebab dia rasa kurang enak perut. Mungkin ubat demam selsema tu buat gastrik, macam aku hari tu, siap muntah dua plastik! Tapi syukurlah bos ndah juga sampai termuntah, cuba tidak berapa sihtlah, kesian dia. Tapi bila dia tahu kami tidak bermalam di rumahnya, balik moodnya ndah bagus. Masa kami mau pi bersalam untuk balik pun dia buat der jak! Kadang-kadang kesian juga dengan bos ni, tapi geram pun ada juga! Iyalah kalau perasaan orang lain berabis dia mau jaga, tapi adik-beradik sendiri, yang tidak kira dia susah ka senang ka sentiasa ada di samping, kalau tidak dapat tolong kewangan pun, at least jadi pendengar setia ni langsung dia tidak hargai perasaan kami. Ntalah, manusia ni mungkin memang macam tu, orang yang dorang boleh buli dorang buat tak endah, padahal ini orang yang sentiasa sokong dan mempertahankan dia, walaupun tidak dapat apa-apa dari dia! Adalah mungkin, menumpang tempat berteduh dari hujan, panas! Itu tidak dinafikan, tapi orang lain tu, sudahlah dia bagi macam-macam, aleh-aleh tikam ia dari belakang pula! ah macam orang yang datang pi ofis dia siang tadi tu la! Ada juga famili yang dia bagi kaya bagai nak rak, akhirnya keluar taring lawan dia juga! Kami ni juga yang tetap setia walau tidak diberi kekayaan ataupun peluang untuk mendapat sedikit kekayaan! But anyway segala kenikmatan, kekayaan, kejayaan, kebahagiaan itu semua hanya Allah S.W.T. juga yang berhak untuk memberinya. Dan for me mungkin apa yang dialami, samada oleh aku sendiri ataupun si bos tu semuanya adalah ujian dan dugaan dari Allah S.W.T., YANG PENTING KITALAH YANG KENA PANDAI MENILAI, MENCERNA DAN MENGAMBIL IKTIBAR darinya, wallahua'lam. Well I guess this is all for now, this time around my writing a bit free willy, just writing what comes into my mind and which is really happening! Good nite, or should I say good morning ;-)...shMD

Terlalu banyak yang ingin aku tulis, namun aku tidak tahu bagaimana untuk memulakannya. Apa pun lets try first kan? Sekarang ni kira demam cuti, ramai dah kawan2 yang mula 'mencutikan' diri, walaupun cuti sebenar untuk guru-guru hanya akan bermula pada 16hb November ni! Agak sunyi juga, budak-budak sekolah pun tak de, yang ambil SPM & STPM pula hari ni (11/11/13) tak der paper. Nasib baiklah ada juga budak-budak form1 dengan form2 yang ada ujian matematik, esok pula ujian science, so tak lah sunyi sangat! Nak marking paper pun rasa malas, asyik borak-borak jer kami seharian ni. Ada juga hasil bualan kami tu, siap salin resipi masak satay dan buat cheese cake lapis! Insha Allah akan dicuba tu, resipi yang dikongsi oleh puan Hawa dan cikgu Norzalina, mesti sedap tu! Cerita punya cerita, salin punya salin, time to go back pun sampai. Kemas-kemas buku, angkat bag, turun tangga, terjumpa pula dengan PK Pentadbiran kami, borak sebentar perkembangan semasa tentang PPD Beaufort for the coming 2014 punya new line-up! Hopefully semuanya berjalan dengan lancar dan akan dapat new PPD officer yang lebih prihatin dan berdaya maju supaya PPD Beaufort akan lebih mantap dan dapat melahirkan lebih ramai pelajar yang berkualiti! Well we'll see what tomorrow bring to us, till then sweet dreams everyone and take care.

Out of the blue, my son asked me to write about why Singapore is so advance as compared to Malaysia! What? Are you trying to put me on a hot seat? So instead I said to my boy, 'why don't we write why are we still not  advancing as compared to our neighbour? Well, he said it's still the same isn't it? Maybe, but at least we are trying to look at it in a different angle; in a more friendlier way, I think?!'
   So why is it that Malaysians especially  the malays and the Bumis are still living backward? I guess one of the reason is that we are so complacent with our situation. We always believe that everything should be provided for us by the leader or the government! We never believe in working our way up as other races did! Don't get me wrong, I'm not racist, it's just that it is really hard to convincce our people that it is up to US to change our LIFE by changing the way we THINK!I don't know if they agree with me or probably be furious with me, but that's how I feel! We can't really rely our whole life to depend on others to make us advance and become successful, we have to do it ourselves, whether it is hard or not we have to do it. But where do we start/ It has been decades that we have been in this scenario, always depending,always expecting for others to GIVE and for us just to RECEIVE! Maybe not all of us are like that, but more than half are in that category, that includes those who believe that they are wel educated but still can't depend on themselves to be successful in their own life, what a waste!
   So guys, ladies and gentlemen, think it's time for us to really look into our inner deeper self and ask ourselves if we have already done in our might to be dependent on ourselves or are we really that weak to live on our own without others to give? Well the answer is in our own heart and head, all we need to do is to discover the truth by doing honest self reflection, eventually we'll find the answer and will know what to do, hopefully. Well all the best guys, ladies and gentlemen as well as to me too...:-)!

Everyday moves as always, waking up late, take a bath then take breakfast. Today me and Akmal went to uncle Shabudin's house to get my chocolate that I asked Hj to buy for me from Labuan. Thanks bro for buying it ;-)! Since we are already there I took the opportunity to take a few liters of Kangen water from their place, of course with the permission of Hjh Norly, again thanks guys for letting us take your Kangen water. After talking a little bit with Norly, we went home cause aunty Lily wants to go out, have business outside I guess!
                                At home, I finished my laundry then doing some room cleaning, also another routine activity during this long holiday. After Zohor prayer, I did some sewing since there are lots of my old clothing that need to be sewed, but I only manage to sew one which took almost an hour for me to complete! What a slow sewer I am! Only after I finished sewing it that I realised I sewed it on the wrong side of the night gown! Well it's just a night gown, no one will see it anyway!
                                What am I suppose to do with my life? Sometime I feel happy the way I am. But there are times that I believe that I can do more and better! But what exactly is that which I can do more and better? I am a teacher, and most of the time I love being a teacher, but sometime I do believe that I do not destine to be a teacher. What I love most since I was a child is to be involve in business, you know selling things and anything that to do with business transaction. In fact I've been trying my hands on business since childhood until now! But not much success, probably because I did not put all my effort and mind in it. Most of the time I was just like doing the business that I am in now as a part time time job and also more like a charity job! Why did I say charity? This is because I do it to help others who are less fortunate than me to get extra money by helping me to sell all the things that I want to sell so that they can get commission from their sale. But to tell the truth I don't really get much profit out of it, in fact I don't make profit at all since most of my customers are paying in instalment! So I almost cannot use the money I get from the sale as the rotating cash flow since I can only get them in two or three months after I sell it to them, and sometimes there are people who did not pay at all! Still I continue doing the business simply because I just love doing business. Funny isn't it? Well thats it for now. In fact I wanted to write more, since I feel like I can keep on writing, but I haven't perform my Asar prayer, so really heve to stop. thanks for reading...;-)...
