• hopefully I get this one done before I reach separuh abad
• write lots and lots of academic papers
• dengar ceramah and ilmu ugama

Learn arabic

Learning arabic is NOT as difficult as I previously thought. But it need a lot of istiqamah and effort. The hodayah is from Allah. And the reward is from Allah alone.

Learning Arabic

We are attending Arabic class for the last 3 months. The book we used is Madinah Book 1, by Dr. V. Abdur Rahim. The book is used at University of Madinah to teach Arabic.

To goal is to learn enough Arabic to understand Quran and others related Arabic materials.

A new semester begin

A new semester, a new batch of students.

As always, fresh students tend to look at University life through tinted glasses. All rosy, however, the outside world is changing as faster than before. What they learn in the next 3 years probably become obsolete before they enter the workplace.

However, the foundation remains; computer science, programming, database and critical thinking.

1/2 year gone

1/2 has gone. I need to keep in stock what I have done. Review is the process of seeing what has been done, and how to improve for the future.

Many concept in Islam has a profound effects;

1. istiqamah - buat sedikit tapi berkekalan
2. jangan tinggal semua kalau tak dapat buat, buat apa yang mampu
3. always look for changes, improve yourself

My goals fro 2010

focus more on the things that bring results;

1. journal writing
2. softwares development
3. research projects
4. conference attendance

migration

FTSM mendapat bangunan baru. Sekarang timbul isu nak migrate ke blok baru atau tidak.

Seperti biasa, migration, or in bigger picture, changes require courages and trepidations. By migration, you are moving to a new place that would be your workplace for the next 10-15 years, and that would effect your productivity.

Staying the status quo also has benefits: familiar surrounding, no packing, etc.

migration offer a new place, fresh perspective, new challenges, etc.

what would you do?

Antara puasa dan hari raya

As we get older, we realise the difference in puasa and raya. It seems that most people are concern MORE with raya ( buy new cloth, new lansir, new perabot, etc) but LESS with puasa.

Should we focus more on puasa ( more quran, more sedekah, more sembahyang jemaah, more good deed, etc)

I was told that the celebration of eid in the middle-east is simple and brief, compare to Malaysia where we celebrate eid for one whole month!

life changes

life and changes is synonymous, one cannot go on without the other.

We must try to changes, adapt, improve. without any improvement, we would rot easily. changes take courage, and courage take determination.

A has been a while...........

It has been a while. Not much been happening, except chaos and mayhem from my 6 children. Imagine 4 of your kids going to primary school, you know the chaos and not to forget the cost, which includes books, cloth, fees.

After a while, everyday becomes a routine. wakeup - send kids to school - go to work - pick up kids - take a nap - dinner - homeworks - sleep.

But having 6 kids is never boring, or routine. There is always something news they show or learn or just freak you out.

House renovation

House renovation may seem trivial and non-event thing.

However, if you look deeper into the effect and impacts of house renovation, you may discover certain things about yourself.

1. House renovation involves changes, and changes something is good. To see the same old colour in the living room day in day out would eventually bored you. But, a new scenario or clour may bring back the zest and life into you
2. Renovation involves changes of structure. How much of the original structures you would like to preserve and how much you would like to changes? Again, changes is good. The old maxim of 'if it is not broken, don't fix it' doesn't work for me.
3. Money issues. You normally start small, but as your new house renovate, suddenly you have the urge to add this and that. resist that, stick with the original plan but with minor changes.

Madinah II

Atas sebab-sebab yang tidak dapat dielakkan, persidangan di Madinah telah ditangguhkan. Semoga hayat dilanjutkan untuk membolehkan diri ini kembali ke Madinah.
