Aku Mahu Terbang! Tapi...

Bismillah.

Lebih kurang dua minggu lepas, scholar MARA ada briefing. Kami diberi offer untuk menjejak ke..


AUSTRALIA!

'Apa perasaan anda dapat tawaran ke Bumi Kangaru ni?'
'Adakah anda akan terima tawaran ni?'
'Bagaimana dengan impian anda untuk ke Czech atau Poland tu?'

Fuhh~ Big decisions are to be made here! Duh~

Bukan senang nak buat keputusan sebegini rupa. Masa briefing tu, puas fikir tentang possibilities untuk ke sana. Kena ambil examlah, duit lagi, blah..blah..blah..

Padahal orang kata it's just a YES or NO situation.

Ade ke patut??
Terkejut beruk masa tu, tiba-tiba perlu buat keputusan macam tu. Huwaaa~

Nak pergi ke? Tak nak? Nak pergi ke?

Ya, memang betul saat saya daftar kat KTT ni, tak terfikir pun pasal Australia dah. (sebelum ni pernah dapat tawaran jugak tapi tolak) Tapi bila fikir-fikir balik..

betul ke tindakan aku ni?

Hidup ni, bak kata as-Syahid Sayyid Qutb, natijahnya kita tak pernah tahu. Semuanya atas aturan Allah, tapi sebagai manusia kita kena usahakan sebab kita tak tau bagaimana akhirnya nanti. Sedangkan sahabat yang DIJAMIN SYURGA tu pun tak henti-henti beribadah lebih daripada orang yang entah tentu syurga dalam genggaman dia, inikan pulak kita yang tak tahu endingnya?

Okay. Sorry. Back to the point.

Dalam lecture hall yang tidak berapa serupa hall tu, terdengarlah soseksosek kat belakang (sebab saya duduk depan sekali :D ) yang kata

'Apelah MARA ni. Susahkan orang je. Dahlah kena bayar sendiri! $300 tu ingat murah ke??'
'Aduss.. menyesal aku amik MARA macam ni! Baik aku ambil JPA je dulu,'
'Apahal pulak kitorang disusahkan macam ni?'

ADOI! Saya pun terkedu. Allah, jauhkan aku dari menjadi hambaMu yang tidak bersyukur.

The thing is, personal opinion, what I love most about being a MARA student (as I was from 13 years old) is the challenges they made us achieve. They always made us-or me- strive harder each time I fall. They set the bar higher than others, they made us work harder (I think) to BE better. The way Allah always teaches His servants.


Masa saya dengar komen-komen 'comel' tu, saya senyum ajelah. Saya faham perasaan tu. Tak nak lah saya simbah minyak dalam api yang tengah menggelegak tu. Lebih baik saya berdiam.

Bila fikir balik, manusia ni.. memang macam ni ke lumrahnya? Merungut. Selalu tak puas hati.
Saya tak percayalah. Sahabat zaman nabi dulu, luka masa perang tak sembuh lagi dah rindu nak berperang. Ape cerita? Dorang pun manusia biasa macam kita jugak. Bezanya TAQWA.

Lepas habis briefing tu, masing-masing berkerut. Alahai macam baru lepas habis jawab exam. Comel aje.

Saya malas nak fikir. Lebih baik istikharah dulu. Mana tau Allah plans something better kan?

Tiap kali orang cakap pasal Aussie, saya akan jadi cemas. Tak keruan. Tapi bila tak cakap pasal Aussie, or anything related to that, saya rasa tenang aje. And I took that as a sign. I don't know whether I'm making the right decision. I will never know. But my heart was never for Australia.

Ya, Australia bumi tarbiyah yang mantap. Rugi andai saya lepaskan peluang tu. Tapi, entah kenapa hati ni tak mahu. Bukan tak mahu tarbiyah tu! Tak mahu Aussie. Tapi, entahlah..

Saya nak fly. Semua kawan-kawan saya nak fly. Tapi, adakah itu yang terbaik buat saya?

Saya takkan tahu

Masa saya cakap kat kawan-kawan saya nak pergi Czech/Poland, masing-masing cakap,

'Sure ke dapat Poland tu?' *nada skeptis
'Nanti terlepas peluang ni kang'

Tapi, nak memikirkan pada benda yang tak pasti, memang sampai hujung nafas lah tak sudah bicaranya. Kan?

Asalnya nak apply jugak, just to open up the possibilities. Tapi tak jadi. Ayah asyik bertanya,

'Kawan-kawan kau dah daftar. Kau bila?'

Ah, sungguh saya tak faham ayah saya sebenarnya mengharap atau tak saya ke Aussie.

Persoalan utama kat sini,

WHY DO I WANT IT?

Bila terlampau sibuk nak please people, kadang-kadang terlupa kita dah tak please Allah. Niat dah lari. Saya tak kisahlah orang nak cakap apa tentang keputusan saya. Kan keputusan saya? If you made up your mind, then I'm glad Alhamdulillah. But this one is mine.

So my decision is...





I'm gonna keep walking
Cause I know Allah will lead me
I'll never stop trying
for Allah is always with me.

If I made one wrong step because I turned my back on Allah, that would be more distressing than not going to Australia.

#to those yang pergi ambil exam ISAT khamis ni, good luck ya? set your niyah straight, insyaAllah you'll answer those 100 Qs swiftly. innallaha ma'ana


.yang khilaf itu milikku.

The Results are OUT!

bismillah. It's a wonderful day. Today is the day I get my A-Level results. Yippie!   It is however, due to my psychicness, that I won't carve a smile on my parents face. Had that feeling in my gut since July. It's a feeling of, discomfort. And nothing can shake it off. I'd like to say a lot here. About what happened to me since that particular July. But I'd end up whining things I shouldn't. Better save it for someone better to listen to. And to not-my-surprise, my results were under par. And I am not sad. At all. Well, maybe a little, but no mental breakdown whatsoever. This, however, never happened to me. I never went into an exam, and NOT pass. Never. Not the UPSR. Not PMR. Not SPM. *not trying to boast here* And this is the first. And I gotta tell ya. It doesn't hurt so bad. I've seen many of my friends went nuts and cry a lot after their results didn't come out as good as others. And I didn't know what to do, th...

Something Worth Promoting

bismillah. Hello! Hello! Buat adik-adik lepasan SPM 2011, adik-adik daftar ke mana lepas ni? Ni haa~ akak nak promote ni. Once in a lifetime chance. I want to promote to you.. KOLEJ TEKNOLOGI TIMUR! Well, people say we can't judge a book by its cover kan? So, akak tak maulah tayang wajah sebenar KTT Sepang ni. *hehe Kolej ni adalah antara kolej terkecil kat Malaysia. (kot) everything is in two blocks of shop houses. Can you imagine that? All the halls and libraries and musolla and the cafes and the staffrooms. Even our houses! One thing that awes me the most when I first came here is the way everything was planned to work. It's hard to imagine the way they first planned to place this and that in that small area. But it totally worked out! AWESOMEEE! A lot is going on while you're in KTT. We have activities like normal colleges do, but in a smaller scale (i guess) Yeah, it's easy to live here. You can't easily fly anywhere without a tra...

Take Me Back.

bismillah. It's been a while since I've been here. I didn't feel worthy enough to write again. But I promised myself that I won't quit. I browsed through my old facebook notes. And this is a particularly sad one, because I've been in the same circle for years, never learning my lesson. I am hoping by posting this, I myself am reminded. So, here goes. " Take Me Back " 28 September 2012 at 00:44 I'm walking into this room again. It's half full, but I am so alone. I can almost hear my heart thumping, as I tried so hard to hide how its beats were playing the notes I don't want people to ever hear. Fear. I'm scared to face you again here. The place where solace was so near, I could dream forever. I'm scared, because it has been long. I have been constantly leaving you. Giving excuses to myself, that by leaving I was actually finding myself. Lie. A big fat lie. The world has put a big blob of dis...
