Part 1 JEPUN: Indah khabar dari rupa?

Dalam satu kelas, ada dalam 50 orang. Dalam 50 orang ni, mesti ada geng skema, geng makan dalam kelas, geng nakal, geng datang lambat, geng bising dan geng budak-budak luar macam aku. Kalau nak huhahuhahu kena la kawan dengan geng bising. Tapi kalau nak score, kena la kawan dengan geng skema.

Ada sekali, aku tak tahu nak buat assignment. Bayangkanlah, buku rujukan, buku teks, perpustakaan, semua dalam bahasa Jepun! Jadi aku pun cuba tanya dengan geng skema ni..boleh tak bantu aku dengan assignment ni.

Malang seribu kali malang, dia dengan selamba cakap dia tak buat lagi dan tak tahu buat. Padahal aku memang nampak la assignment dia yang dah siap tu elok je diletak sebelah kitorang je! Alahai kedekut ilmu rupanya..

Terus aku rasa macam nak lempang je! Tapi haram..dia kan lelaki hihi.

*************************************************************************************

Sebenarnya bukanlah aku nak kata orang Jepun ni tak baik. Baik…! Kalau dah rapat tu, kebiasaanya diorang sanggup tolong apa saja. Tapi..sementara nak rapat tu, memang payah. Nampak sombong. Tak peramah.

Bila ditanya, sebenarnya orang Jepun ni pemalu. Diorang takut kita tak pandai cakap Jepun, jadi diorang terpaksa cakap English diorang yang berterabur. Bila diorang dah tahu kita boleh kecek Jepun, diorang akan lebih terbuka.

Senang kata, bila melancong atau jalan-jalan di Jepun, jangan harap diorang akan tegur kita, tanya kita dari mana dan sebagainya..sebab diorang memang pemalu atau reserved orang putih cakap.

Yang pasti, pandai-pandailah bawa diri di negara orang. Dalam setandan pisang, pasti ada satu dua yang busuk. Dalam lebih 120 juta penduduk Jepun dan 30 juta penduduk Malaysia, pasti ada yang bermasalah. Bersangkabaiklah ye.. Wassalam ?

Aku sayang dia, aku utamakan dia?

Salam Ramadhan Kareem 1438 Hijrah..

Bulan puasa ialah bulan untuk meningkatkan amal. Banyakkan ibadah, hidupkan sunnah, latih untuk berzikir setiap masa. Tak lupa, bulan untuk banyakkan MUHASABAH.

Ya…kita selalu lupa untuk bermuhasabah. Berfikir apa yang kita dah lakukan, apa yang kita dah lalui, apa langkah yang perlu diambil untuk islah ke arah yang lebih baik.

Sejenak bermuhasabah, saya terkenangkan perkara yang selalu saya ambil mudah atau “take for granted“, iaitu soal hubungan suami isteri.

***** Adakah rasa sayang dan rasa diutamakan itu berbeza? *****

Contoh. Mesej whatsapp masuk dari 2-3 orang. Salah satunya dari isteri/suami dan yang lainnya adalah daripada member tempat kerja, bos atau group sekolah. Apa yang berlaku? Biasanya kita akan balas mesej dari bos, kemudian member tempat kerja, kemudian skroll mesej dari group, dan akhirnya baru balas mesej suami/isteri.

Persoalannya, kenapa boleh jadi macam ni? Sedangkan kita selalu mengungkapkan kata sayang dan cinta pada pasangan kita? Jadi disinilah yang dikatakan sebagai take for granted!

“Alah dia bini/laki aku…mesti dia faham aku sibuk…”

“Alah benda yang dia mesej bukan penting sangat…balas lambat sikit pon takpa…”

Setelah bermuhasabah, saya mula bertanya pada diri sendiri, bukankah kalau kita SAYANG pada dia, maksudnya kita perlu UATAMAKAN dia? Kalau dengan orang lain saya boleh letak macam-macam icon smiley comel-comel waktu mesej , kenapa dengan dia saya hanya letak icon ? sahaja? Kalau dengan orang lain boleh karang ayat panjang-panjang, cek grammar bagai, dengan dia saya mesej ikut dan saja?

Benda ni bukan saja berlaku antara pasangan suami isteri, malah lebih sering berlaku antara ibu ayah dan anak-anak. Mentang-mentanglah anak-anak masih kecil, kita selalu membelakangkan mereka. Kita sayang, tapi tidak memberikan keutamaan kepada mereka. We are contradicting ourselves!

Jadi, mulai saat ini, mari sama-sama kita berubah. “Saya sayang dia” bererti “saya utamakan dia”. Do not take for granted. People’s hearts are as brittle as glass. Once broken, you will never find a way to mend them up.

Anniversary bila poket kemarau

 Bulan Jun yang lepas merupakan ulang tahun perkahwinan kami yang ke-2. Rupa-rupanya baru 2 tahun kahwin. Rasa macam dah 20 tahun! Sebab setiap hari rasa lebih terisi dan bermakna (jiwang).

Ulang tahun perkahwinan kami yang pertama, atas kereta sepanjang hari. Maklumlah perjalanan Kelantan-Kedah-Perak di musim raya haji.. Tak menyempat nak beli hadiah atau nak masak special-special atau nak candle-light dinner kat hotel Grand Blue Wave. Jadi tahun ni, aku dah plan untuk buat sesuatu yang memorable.

TAPI! Aku dah berhenti kerja dan duit simpanan aku habis dek kesilapan pilihan yang aku buat beberapa bulan sebelum ni. Kami pon tengah dalam proses nak beli rumah pada waktu tu, jadi memang poket dalam musim kemarau. Merekah-rekah dah tanah! Macam mana nak candle-light dinnerkat Grand Blue Wave? Macam mana nak masak chicken grill with black paper sauce, mushroom and mash potato kalau hari-hari pon telan telur je..sob sob sob..

Jadi, aku ngan cik abam telah pergi ke Hinode shop beberapa hari sebelum anniversary, dan pilih hadiah. Dia pilih untuk aku, aku pilih untuk dia. Haa macam exchange hadiah lah! Hinode shop ni memang kedai jual hadiah. Semuanya RM6 (setahu aku). Jadi boleh lah jimat sikit kan dan pada masa yang sama, masih lagi memorable untuk kami..

Yang lawak, aku dengan cik abam masuk sama-sama dalam kedai tu, tapi kedai kecik je. Jadi masing-masing boleh nampak lah pulak hadiah yang nak dipilih. Sebab tak surprise, aku suruh suami aku duduk kat luar dulu. Dah siap aku pilih hadiah, bungkus, suami aku pulak masuk dan aku tunggu kat luar. Promoter Hinode tu terkebil-kebil pandang kami. Keluar masuk keluar masuk. Hehe.

Tiba hari Anniversary…

Petang tu, cik abam balik kerja, kami sama-sama bukak hadiah. Haha lebih kurang je hadiah kami rupanya. Aku belikan cik abam bekas air untuk buat air panas kat office dia, dan dia pulak belikan aku bekas isi air mineral! Hehe sama-sama peminat air. Aku suka hadiah tu dan apparently cik abam pon suka hadiah yang aku pilihkan. Alhamdulillah..simple but memorable for us ❤

 

Ps.. Rupa-rupanya bekas air yang cik abam belikan untuk aku bukannya RM6. Suami aku baru tau bila nak bayar. Haha yayy aku dapat hadiah mahal!! ?

Anniversary bila poket kemarau

Trans National Education (TNE) Memorandum of Agreement Signing Ceremony between AASTM and UTM

September 13, 2017 by 

On the 12th of September 2017, UTM Vice Chancellor Prof. Datuk Ir. Dr. Wahid Omar and the President of the Arab Academy for Science, Technology, and Maritime Transport (AASTMT) Prof. Ismail Abdel Ghafar Ismail Farag signed a Memorandum of Agreement to foster closer collaborations between the two universities in areas of research, staff and student exchange and establish the Trans National Education Program (TNE).

In his speech, Prof. Wahid stresses the importance of TNE program which he believes will become the catalyst for excellence in higher education and research enabling both universities to reach greater heights in terms of capacity building and professional development for universal prosperity and the well-being of society. He also highlights that UTM already has many Egyptian students consisting of 70 active Egyptian students in UTM, of which 37 are undergraduate students and 33 are postgraduate students.  Through this collaboration, UTM will receive more Egyptian students and vice versa.  Furthermore, by collaborating with the Malaysia Japan International Institute of Technology (MJIIT) UTM, the TNE program will have added advantage in terms of an expanded network since there are currently 29 Japanese universities that are partners of MJIIT.

Meanwhile, Prof. Ismail congratulated the organizers of the event stating that joint conference such as this should be continued to foster closer collaborations among institutions involved.  He also hoped that through the TNE, students from UTM will also come to AASTMT to complete their engineering degree and broaden their experience while studying at AASTMT.

The signing ceremony was performed in conjunction with the opening ceremony of the 2nd International Conference on Advanced Technology and Applied Sciences (ICATAS 2017) jointly organised by AASTMT and MJIIT.  AASTMT is supported by the Arab League comprising 22 Arab states and 4 observer states.  Also present at the ceremony were the Dean of MJIIT, Prof. Dr. Rubiyah Yusof and the Dean of College of Engineering and Technology, AASTM, Prof Khalid Shehata.
