The White Album

Kerana tension tak dapat cycling naik Gunung Jerai petang tadi,
aku pun grab camera..


Terima Kasih dinding yang putih..

Ibu Segala Maksiat

Aku ada seorang sahabat.
Dia baik orangnya.
Tapi baru-baru ni aku baru dapat tahu.
Sahabat aku ni dah tersimpang “sedikit”.
Apa yang dia buat?

Nabi Muhammad SAW bersabda,

" Arak adalah ibu segala maksiat dan ianya adalah maksiat paling mengaibkan." (Kitab Sunan Ibnu Majah jilid 3, kitab memabukkan, Bab 30, Hadis no. 3371)

Aku tak kisah. Gua open-minded.
Sahabat aku ni pun dah besar panjang.
Aku percaya dia tahu nak bezakan
Yang baik dan buruk.

Tapilah kan,
Nak cakap aku tak kisah pun salah jugaklah.
Kalau tidak, buat apa aku susah-susah nak karang “entry” ni?
Tak sampai hati pula aku nak menutup sebelah mata.
Maknanya hati aku ni adalah kisah tu sedikit.

Macam nilah.
Aku bukan nak tunjuk baik, nak tunjuk hebat, pandai atau apa-apa je yang tengah bermain dalam otak kamu semua.
Aku hanya nak mengingatkan.
Selepas Ibubapa, tiada siapa lagi yang akan menegur kesilapan kita.
Melainkan member-member sendiri.

Di akhir zaman ni, kawan-kawan lagi mengenali kita daripada Ibubapa sendiri.
Sahabat yang baik, adalah sahabat yang menegur kesilapan kita.
Kalau aku buat salah, tolonglah tegur sebab aku tahu aku ni senang buta dan terpesong.
Kalau kawan aku buat salah, aku pun akan cuba tegur.
Setakat mana yang aku mampu.

Konsep ni senang je.Untuk memudahkan,
Sebelum kita nak buat sesuatu, cuba ambil masa sedikit masa untuk membuat analisis, dan menjawab persoalan tersebut:

1. Kalau Ibubapa kita tahu, diaorang marah tak?
2. Kalau anak kita esok buat jugak, kita marah tak?
3. Dalam agama pulak, agak-agaknya lah kan, kalau kita buat tu, Tuhan marah tak?


Aku nak meningatkan diri aku jugaklah kan,
Segala rezeki, bisnes, kesenangan, akal dan kreativiti,
Semuanya datang dari Allah yang Maha Besar.
Bila-bila masa je Dia boleh bagi dan bila-bika masa je dia boleh tarik balik semua tu dari kita.

Macamnilah..contohnya.
Satu hari, tiba-tiba je aku datang jumpa kau,
Tanpa memberi salam, aku belasah kau sampai terbaring dalam longkang,
aku pijak-pijak kepala kau sambil meludah kahak hijau sampai penuh telinga
Tengah aku membelasah kau tu, aku teringat kereta aku rosak, kena tinggal di bengkel.
Dengan penuh muka mengharap,
Aku minta jasa baik kau hantar aku ke Puduraya

Macam mana kau rasa?
“Kau dah belasah aku cukup-cukup, lepas tu nak minta tolong aku pulak..”

Samalah!..kau dah buat Dia marah, segala tegahan Nya kau main langgar je, tapi bila susah, kau nak mengharap Dia tolong kau balik. Kau tak tahu malu ke?

Kesilapan yang dah lepas tu, lepaslah. Orang nak cakap apa, biarkan.
Jangan takut untuk membuat perubahan kearah kebaikkan.

Semoga Tuhan sentiasa tunjukkan kepada kita yang betul itu betul, dan yang salah itu salah.


Ya adik-adik,
Sekian sahaja kata-kata nasihat dari Abang Sharel. InsyaAllah , semoga kita berjumpa lagi di masa hadapan, di waktu dan ruangan yang sama.

Wabillahi taufik walhidayah wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh

PROUD MALAYSIAN

I'm not a sports fan,
I don't follow the football scene,
and I don't give a damn which millionaires are in town to kick balls.

But I do give a damn
when the people worship the other team more
than their own national team.

When can this stop?

When can we ever be proud of wearing a “made in Gombak” shoes?

Better be NOW..or Never.

Support Malaysian products!

Especially MODENAS bikes.
(So I can get bonus..hehehe)

Victoria Institution World's Best School Band!

Excerpt from VI school band world's best

2009/07/10

SEPANG: Victoria Institution's cadet corps band proved that it was the best in the world when it clinched the grand prize at the World Band Challenge 2009 in Modena, Italy. With the theme "Volcano", the band, comprising 90 members from Forms One to Lower Six, beat the defending champion from Holland on July 6 to win a trophy and an appreciation certificate. VI headmistress Azizah Othman said the victory was made sweeter by the fact that the school was celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. "The win is the biggest prize for the school. "The sweat, tears and sacrifice since January have been worth it.

"I think this will also be an impetus for all students to work hard towards victory in other competitions," she said at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport yesterday.

The band was welcomed home by some 50 VI Supporters Club members and parents.

Azizah said the band scored 1,052 points.

This gave it a narrow 13-point lead over its Dutch rival which scored 1,039 points.

"The song selection, which is from the Puteri Gunung Ledang movie and theatre performance obviously gave us an edge and additional points," she said.

"The Dutch team only managed to give a typical band performance," she added.

She also expressed her appreciation of the Education Ministry's decision to allow the team to compete overseas despite the influenza A (H1N1) pandemic.

Excerpt from Victoria Institution muncul juara pancaragam dunia

SEPANG 9 Julai - Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Victoria atau lebih dikenali sebagai Victoria Institution (VI) berjaya mengharumkan nama negara apabila menjuarai Pertandingan Pancaragam Dunia di Modena, Itali pada 5 Julai lalu.

Sekolah itu berjaya mengalahkan lima pasukan pancaragam lain yang membabitkan tiga pasukan dari negara tuan rumah dan masing-masing satu dari Ukraine dan Belanda.

Pada pertandingan itu, VI menampilkan lagu-lagu daripada teater muzikal Puteri Gunung Ledang (PGL) yang digubah bersesuaian dengan rentak pancaragam berkawad.

Pengetua VI, Azizah Othman berkata sekolah itu mengumpul 1,052 mata untuk mengalahkan juara bertahan dari Belanda yang memperolehi 1,039 mata.

"Kejayaan ini membolehkan pancaragam VI membawa pulang trofi kemenangan serta sijil," katanya kepada pemberita selepas tiba di Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Kuala Lumpur di sini hari ini.

Katanya, ia adalah hasil usaha bersungguh-sungguh tanpa mengenal penat dan letih guru, ibu bapa serta pelajar yang terbabit sejak awal tahun ini.

''Ia satu kejayaan bersama kerana tanpanya saya yakin VI tidak mampu menjuarai pertandingan pancaragam yang dianggap antara paling berprestij di dunia masa kini.

''Semua pihak memahami walaupun ada pelajar yang terlibat itu akan menghadapi peperiksaan utama pada hujung tahun ini," katanya.

Pada pertandingan itu, VI diwakili 93 pelajar yang diiringi lima guru pengiring, termasuk Azizah.

Pancaragam VI pernah mewakili negara ke kejohanan tersebut pada 2003, 2005 dan 2006.
