Steps to Prosperity

  That's what she said, complaining about what had happened to her, while tears are coming out from her eyes. And for the first time in my life, I was actually 100% speechless. Yes, sometimes I am not talkative but that is because I chose to. But this time, I wanted to say something, anything to comfort her...yet I couldn’t. When she said that, I remembered myself saying the same thing before in my life. I cannot take it anymore. I am tired of being nice. Being surrounded by ungrateful people, if I can only run away, and just be alone, forgetting all of them, and just be myself. Well, I’ve reached that point before. To think all the people that you know, were there beside you only because they wanted something from you. To see all the good things you did disappears in the thin air. To work so hard and sacrifice a lot, then someone come and ignorantly say: you’ve done nothing! To to think that you are best friend with some people and been abandoned by them when you need them most.

Let’s go back open the book of my life and continue reading in the 29th Chapter: Engineering Industrial Training. Before I shared about how I got to that company and the reasons why I chose it. So, now let’s talk about something else. Most trainees in other companies might get to have their temporary office, table, computer and everything else. However, following the nature that I work in a workshop, it is impossible to give me those kinds of things. Instead of a table or office, I get my own tools and tool box. And instead of getting a computer, I get my own CAR…yes, my own temporary car (Cetroen C5). But unfortunately, I don’t get enough time to use it expect in the early morning (if I came early and there were no costumers) and late before maghrib time (if I finished all the things that I am supposed to do). Otherwise, the boss will go “Mcm ni ke trainee?” or “Is this how trainee supposed to be”. Huhu, about my boss, not now…there will be a special subtopic about him in this chapt

A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE. They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he carved on a stone: TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE. The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you carve on a stone, why?” The other friend replied “When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.”

For my EIT, I spent the roughly three months in a service center. Some might argue about choice, because I am studying automotive engineering and they think I should not be trained there. To answer that, let me mention to you two incidents. One of my friends told me that I am not supposed to do the EIT there, because I am a future engineer, not a technician. However, once upon a time, she contacted me –the future automotive engineer- when she had problems with her car and couldn’t start the vehicle. In the EIT visit, my lecturer had the same impression. My colleagues and I should’ve done the EIT somewhere else. However, when we took him to a tour in the workshop, he changed his mind. For my EIT, I got an offer from PROTON to work in their headquarters. But I rejected that, and chose to work for PERODUA in one of their service centers. Reasons for my choice: If I worked in a headquarters as a trainee, I wouldn’t be able to do a real job. I might not even have the chance to do anyt

The first IIUM joint training was held on 16th of July. It was an idea inspired and materialized by some of our senseis and senpais. The training was held on Nilai Dojo. Only 5 karateka from Nilai campus attended this program because the rest of them went back home. And only 3 karateka from Gombak joined the program. The rest decided to have a good rest after they had a very extensive training for MASUM and then for the Grading. First, sensei Rijal was in charge. The training started around 9 am with Basics and theory session, followed by basic kumitee training. Then Sensei Iman took over in the kata session. He shared the kate Naifachin Shodan with everyone, along with its Bunkai. And the last session was by sensei Mizan, and was about self defense. Although it was only few of us, although they say the more the marrier, we had a good time there. Also, the fact that only few karateka attended was in our advantage as the senseis can focus more on us as individuals and find mistakes an

Must a watch video, especially if you are someone who can speak Arabic like me. This lady is not a Muslim, and Arabic is not her mother language. Yet, she appreciates the beauty of the Arabic language more than most of Arabs in the world do. To be honest, I love to speak Arabic as it is the most beautiful language, the chosen language by Allah, and the language of people in paradise. However, I don't speak it that much. Because most Arabic native speakers around me, prefer to speak the slang Arabic, not the classic original Arabic. Studies shows that most of those who tend to simplify the language (whether it is Arabic, English, or any other language) suffers from problems of slow understanding and comprehension. That's why they use the language as it is rather they change it according to their desire. Therefore, the original language gradually, fades away. I wish to live in a society in which I can communicate with the Arabic (the real one) with ease. I hope this video can

How do I excel in my student life? My formula is simple, not really complicated. It is just common sense! It is not really hard working. You only need to work, not work hard. If there is an exam, of course you study for it. You don't depend only on what you get in the classes. If your lecturer gave hint or said some problems will come, then of course you try and solve them. And if he gives you an assignment, then you will do it. And if you feel that you are not doing good, you must have some extra time studying. Believe me, just do these things, and you will see your name in the dean's list sooner or later. How to be an excellent karateka? It's the same thing, common sense. If there is grading, then you practice your basics and katas. Don't depend only on your sensei. If your sensei give some hints, of course you have to pay attention to that. If there is a tournament, of course you must do something extra, like practicing your favorite technique or go for jogging. You

Long long ago.... when humans did not exist yet.... Virtues and vices were traveling the world together. One day they felt bored ... very bored... The virtue Innovation , suggested a game…he called hide and seek. Everyone loved the idea and all of them wanted to play... Madness said: "I will be the one closing my eye and all of you shall hide!" Thus, he closed his eyes and started counting...one...two...three... Then the virtues and vices started hiding... Kindness found her hiding place on the moon... Betrayal hid himself in a pile of trash.... Passion went above the clouds... Nostalgia went deep down under ground... Deceit shouted loudly and said “I will hide myself under the rocks” but instead he went to the lake and went deep down... And while Madness kept counting.... seventy nine... eighty... eighty one...every one found there place of hiding except... Love As usual she is not decisive, thus she did not find a place to hide... this fact is not surprising to any
