LA Annual Dinner 2018

Language Academy Annual Dinner – 27 December 2018 with Multiethnic Theme.  Alhamdulillah, everyone looked great and had a good time. The objectives are not only to gather and have fun, but more to appreciate LA staff for their hard work, to celebrate staff who are retired, and the most important is to bridge the gap between senior and junior academic staff, last but not least to strengthen the cooperation between academic and support staff. In other words, to rapatkan saf. We did it, yeay and I would like to express my deepest appreciation to the Task Force team and all involved for the briliiant job.

TALKING STRAIGHT

How to be direct and handle people who are not?  Hmmmm… a question to ponder.

The invaluable lesson I get from watching The Empress of China is that to stay happy ones need to get rid of jealousy and greedy.

As mentioned in the Al-Quran, we have to be content with what Allah provides us and fear Allah at all time, as mentioned in the Al-Quran

Which means: And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him a way out. And will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allah – then He is sufficient for him. Indeed, Allah will accomplish His purpose. Allah has already set for everything a [decreed] extent.” (Al-Talaq, 2-3)
