Yoga contradicts the teachings of Islam, can't you see that?!

Bismillah, Assalamualaikum

I would like to call people's attention out there on this email I have received:

Dear All,

Something to ponder.....

Subject: Fatwa-fatwa yang akan datang

Makin hari umat Islam makin ditindas dan dikongkong. Bukan oleh orang Cina, atau orang India atau orang Yahudi atau orang Kristian. Tetapi dianiya dan dikongkong oleh orang Islam dan Melayu sendiri. Selepas fatwa pengharaman yoga, fatwa-fatwa yang akan datang adalah seperti berikut :

Disember 2008

Orang Islam dilarang mandi di kolam renang awam. Di kolam renang awam, akan terdapat orang-orang yang bukan Islam yang memakai pakaian renang yang singkat dan mendedahkan aurat (terutamanya amoi-amoi china yang cun dan seksi). Ini boleh menjejaskan akidah orang Islam. Cara yang paling baik ialah kita haramkan orang Islam dari kolam renang awam.

Januari 2009

Orang Islam dilarang pergi ke Pulau Pinang. Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang adalah seorang yang bukan Islam and majoriti penduduk Pulau Pinang adalah orang yang bukan Islam. Apabila seorang Islam berada di Pulau Pinang, beliau mungkin terhidu bau char keoy tiaw yang dimasak oleh orang bukan Islam dan ini boleh merosakkan akidah kita. Cara yang paling baik ialah kita haramkan orang Islam dari pergi ke Pulau Pinang. Orang Islam yang kini tinggal di Pulau Pinang akan diberi elaun pindah sebanyak RM 3000 untuk membantu mereka berpindah ke negeri-negeri yang lain. Perpindahan ke negeri Kelantan dan Terengganu amat amat digalakkan.

Februari 2009

Orang Islam dilarang meminum root beer. Walaupun root beer tidak mengandungi alkohol, namun perkataan "beer" ini boleh menimbulkan keghairan dan kelakuan tidak senonoh di kalangan orang Islam. Dengan pengharaman root beer, orang Islam bolehlah meminum minuman ringan yang lain tanpa was-was. Ginger beer juga diharamkan.

March 2009

Orang Islam dilarang memakan di kedai Mamak. Walaupun mamak kebanyakkannya Islam, tetapi asal usul mereka adalah India dan ada kemungkinan terdapat unsur-unsur India di dalam perniagaan mereka seperti bercakap Tamil dan memakai seluar dalam buatan India. Untuk mengelakkan sebarang syak wasangka, mulai 1 Mac 2009, orang Islam dilarang dari memakan di kedai mamak (kecuali Tun Mahatir kerana dia sendiri mamak kelas I)

April 2009

Orang Islam dilarang bermain ping pong atau table tennis. Ping pong berasal dari negeri China dan oleh yang demikian, mungkin terdapat unsur-unsur agama Buddha atau Confuciusism di dalam permainan ping pong. Orang Islam yang terlalu banyak bermain ping pong akan terjejas akidah mereka. Sebagai permainan alternatif, orang Islam digalakkan bermain sepa kraga (tetapi bola raga mesti buatan Malaysia, bukan dari Thailand).

Mei 2009

Orang Islam yang berkerja dengan kerajaan dilarang mengambil gaji masing-masing. Ini kerana sebahagian besar pendapatan kerajaan adalah cukai pendapatan yang dibayar oleh syarikat-syarikat orang bukan Islam. Orang Islam digalakkan meminta sedekah dari orang Islam yang lain. Untuk memudahkan permintaan sedekah, bakal peminta sedekah digalakkan mencangkung di hadapan bangunan UMNO.

Jun 2009

Orang Islam dilarang keluar negara. Terdapat terlalu banyak godaan yang boleh meruntuhkan akhlak dan akidah orang Islam. Perkara ini telahpun dikaji dengan teliti hasil lawatan sambil belajar ke Bangkok oleh Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan baru-baru ini. Oleh yang demikian, orang orang Islam diminta menyerahkan balik paspot masing-masing ke jabatan immigresen secepat mungkin. Perjalanan keluar negara hanya dibenarkan untuk menteri-menteri dan orang kuat UMNO sahaja, itupun hanya jika diiringi oleh ahli Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan.

Julai 2009

Orang Islam dilarang berfikir di waktu siang. Kebanyakkan masalah jenayah dan maksiat wujud kerana orang-orang yang tak ada kerja berfikir yang bukan-bukan. Untuk membenteras maslah jeneyah dan maksiat, orang-orang Islam mulai 1 Julai 2009, dilarang dari menggunakan otak mereka diwaktu siang. Pemikiran mereka akan dipantau oleh Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan dengan menggunakan sekumpulan specially trained monkeys. Orang Islam boleh menggunakan otak mereka di waktu malam tetapi pemikiran dihadkan kepada perkara-perkara berkaitan dengan makan dan minum sahaja.

Please do not laugh. Many of the above will become a reality if we do not do anything. The rational-thinking muslims in this country are simply not doing anything. We let a very small minority of narrow-minded idiots to control our lives. We, especially the Malay muslims, are fast becoming a laughing stock worldwide. We are obsessed with the little things. When there are so many important things to be done, why must the Fatwa folks spend their time on little things, tomboys, yoga, etc, etc. Why don't we ever hear anything from the Fatwa folks for social justice, eradicating corruption and poverty, protecting single mothers, helping the poors, educating the ummah, protecting the environment or ensuring fairness in society.

I pity the person who construct these sentences and then forwarded this to many people out there and perhaps there are some people out there who actually took pleasure in reading this so-called joke!

But then again, why am I surprised! There are Malay Muslims out there who just refuse to follow their leaders who are actually educated and has made the Fatwa based on thorough readings and research and disseminate this information to the public but some people just refuse to believe it and God knows for what reasons! WHY is it that some people wanna hold onto the fact that they still could actually find excuses that they still can do yoga?! Why would you wanna do something that is in another religion in spite of everything in Islam is already complete?! Why dont you just follow the true complete teachings of Islam in the Holy Quran and Sunnah?

Why make a big fuss over the fatwa when yoga is already banned in Egypt and Singapore? and the enforcement is only to the Muslims so it is really unnecessary for non-muslims to feel offended. and the fatwa is a big deal but Malay Muslims just make a big fuss because we are ignorant and we refuse to see the big picture! For further readings, READ Islamic Theology and Philosophy Prof Dr Abdulfatah Haron Ibrahim 262-page study on Yoga, Tasawur & Islam and the gist of it is that Yoga contradicts the teachings of Islam because the ultimate purpose of yoga is to become one with God and Muslims never become one with Allah, we just get to meet Him in the afterlife. So to those people in the dark, read up before you take up a hobby, it won't hurt though ignorance is indeed bliss.

This is also a reminder to myself, IS IT SO HARD TO DO?!

Scrabble Tips For Beginners by a Beginner :D

Bismillah, Assalamualaikum

I have always loved board games in particular, perhaps it's because I grew up in England where board games are major cool and my parents always incite us siblings to play board games by buying lotsa board games and this would result in us being more close-knit

But I love Scrabble more and this could be because I love letters better than numbers, words better than formulas and language better than maths, huhu

Though I have been to 2 Scrabble Tournaments but because I lack training and practice therefore I am still an amateur/beginner and I actually didn't mind at all of the label until I realized that I got fascinated with the game so much to want to be, at least one or two notches up from being an amateur/beginner AND the fact that I had lost to a kid (hey, age is not a factor okay, the youngest master is in FORM 3 now, and he is soooo cool when he plays!) in the Malacca Open Scrabble Tournament, haha

So I thought I give some insights and tips on people out there who's interested in Scrabble because you should be, it is something intellectual and there were so few muslims there, I was the only Malay girl with hijab and no offence but this kind of thing reflects how muslims [since I am a muslim and for that reason, I urge muslims to take up an intellectual pastime] rarely take up intelligent challenges and competitions whilst spreading the joy of Islam! I remember Ira Sahri participating in a treasure hunt organized by a local newspaper and she learnt so much while commenting that her group was made up of Malay girls wearing hijab.

Anyway, back to what I intend to propagate to all Scrabble wannabes out there:

1. Your English won't be improve when playing Scrabble.
WHY?! Because some words are incredulously bizarre and not even enlisted in the English dictionary! In spite of that, the words are cool and you get to widen plus impress your peers with the vast Scrabble vocab there is just that you better not use those vocabs in your formal essays, huhu

2. You have to memorize the 2 and 3 letter words!
This is so that you won't kill the game by not knowing what words to put and additionally, knowing the 2 and 3 letter words are imperative so that it can give way to add words in front or at the back of the 2 and 3 letter words.

3. By all means, when you try to memorize the Scrabble dictionary, try to memorize the meaning of the words as well.
Most people I meet just memorize the words but when I enthusiastically wanna learn on the meaning and ask but alas, they can't give me the answer as they dunno, huhu

4. Sometimes targeting for the highest score may not be the answer.
Its a game of strategy just like chess because not only do you want a high score but you also want to make a momentous move so that you won't make way for your opponent to score high plus you don't want to make 2 letter words just for the score, but desperate calls for desperate measures I guess

5. Shuffle your letters and shuffle it hard!
You should make it a habit (I am trying too myself). This is because by doing so will increase your chances of seeing that BINGO [7 letter word] you wanted your whole life, hehe, well, at least, you get to see more extraordinary scrabble words to put on the board.

Basically, your knowledge of the English vocabulary may be immense but you're not gonna win if you don't equip yourself with the Scrabble vocab because its, how do I put it, more vital? just as crucial, well, you decide but you better train with familiarity on the Scrabble vocabulary and only then will you play with stride!

and that's what I wanna do, progress, even if I chickened out in upcoming tournaments but I would want to pass my Scrabble knowledge to my students and children and I might just train them to become master! Actually, that's what I will do!

So here are some examples of wacky Scrabble words:
abakas
babka
cocas
dadas
eterne
feoff
gigas
hahas
ictic
jowls
kamik
lulu
malmy
nance
oops
popsy
qiviuts
roar
shes
tate
usque
vivas
waws
xerus
yolky
zooty

phew~

I Hate This Part...

Bismillah, Assalamualaikum :D

I'm at home for the long hols just like the school kids for the last time of my undergraduate life.

I am currently listening to PCD's I Hate This Part and the lyric has inspired me to write my own I Hate This Part :D

I hate this part that I have 5 more months to go because I can't hardly wait for it to end, but then again, I know that when I start working, I'll miss my student life, it's always like that, human nature...

I hate this part that the media ONLY interviews the urban kids on their UPSR achievement. what about the rural kids? and what about their opinions on English for science and mathematics?! I have my own personal dilemma about the issue because I can see the many benefits of using English but since I have taught a rural school before therefore I have seen these kids struggle in understanding English and what's more English in science and mathematics! YES, there is still the gap between the urban and rural schools and it exists for some people to take action but before action is to be taken hence there should be enlightenment and exposure but where is it? where is the faces of kids who went through hardships and succeed? and where is the faces of those who did not and why aren't we addressing the reason of why they didn't succeed? there are kids who are downright lazy but there are also kids who are slow and need just that little bit of scaffolding and would prove us wrong if we prove them right!

which reminds me of a movie I watched earlier on entitled FREEDOM WRITERS starring Hilary Swank. I totally recommend this movie to everyone out there because it's inspiring and moving plus based on a true story so I felt driven more to be a teacher after watching that movie. It's about a teacher who had to go against so many people including her own loving husband to prove that the class she was teaching was 'teachable' and can succeed in their own right. The technique was she made her students write jurnals and as a result, she was able to see what her students saw and the movie points out that the pen is mightier than the sword.

the movie strongly reminds me of Big Pumpkin but somehow I know that jurnal writing in English will be difficult for my students unless they really wanna do it in the second language. But when I become a teacher later on, I would definitely make my students write jurnals and they can even do so in Bahasa because I just want them to write and through writing, maybe I get to do so much more than just teaching [BIG ALTRUISTIC DREAMS, yeah I know]

I hate this part that I always feel that urban kids or if not urban, the advanced students would be so much easier to teach and they would definitely do the jurnal writing, sigh~
Though I know that it's better to reach out to the below average kids...

I hate this part that when my students sms me, I can't seem to reply their messages because sometimes I am busy, sometimes all they ask is 'Teacher buat ape?' or sometimes, hmm...takpela tak balas pun, tsk tsk...coming from me who has big altruistic dreams, huhu

I hate this part that I have project paper to finish to wrap up my degree.

I hate this part that there's nothing good on telly.

I hate this part that I'm actually telling people to tag me, haha coz I'm bored and besides, I like tags now, hehe :p

The world slows down but my heart beats fast right now
I know this is the part where the end starts...

I hate this part right here
I just can't take your tears
I hate this part right here

i miss SMKLB :(

Bismillah, Assalamualaikum ^_^

Please bring my heart back from SEKOLAH MENENGAH KEBANGSAAN LABU BESAR~

Because…

Although the boys like to ring the bell too many times,

If not the bell, then it would be the gong,

Although the boys and girls like to make too much noise,

Although the girls like to shout and scream,

Although some kids are immature,

Although some kids are lazy when it comes to studying,

Although the boys have sulked at us, and they think we can’t sulk back,

Although I have been bitten by a leech and I got so traumatic,

Although the hostel always blackout,

Sometimes the water would be rusty,

And then it would turn white,

But I guess it was better than not having any water at all,

And there would be cows, goats, potholes and cracks on the road to go to school,

And I lost a quarter of the car’s rear bumper (say what?!) because I didn’t see when driving after the heavy rain and through the deep waters that didn’t look so deep,

I felt inadequate having had so much in my life before but I learn to live and smile more and receive so much more. I felt blessed every day coming to the school but it wasn’t all rosy posey,

There were nights when I cried so much,

There were days when I had enough,

There were times when my heart breaks,

There were moments when I feel like giving up,

There were the storms,

But the rainbow is always there and so colourful that made my life so much complete so I count my blessings and THANK YOU ALLAH :)

And THANK YOU to the students and teachers of SMKLB…

For teaching me how to talk in the Kedah slang,

For introducing me to eat petai, yummy!

For smiling at us,

For always making us happy,

For being good students,

For being great teachers,

For all the foods here that prevented me from dieting,

For taking care of our welfare,

For striking conversation with us,

For always helping us out,

For every time the boys peered out at us when the car starts,

For cheering us up,

For giving us the best times of our life…

If I could give my heart away, the pieces of it would be everywhere, to so many of the students there and the teachers…

So please bring my heart back <3

Happy Eid Mubarak =)

Bismillah, Assalamualaikum :)

I am not depressed, not anymore, I just can't change the punkymood and that’s depressing, sigh~

Besides, I found out that people with depression have it really bad that they need to pop pills and if they don’t eat one pill a day, they would get really really depressed which is a depressing fact, hehe

I also know that teachers get depressed easily and I find myself questioning, hey, I’m not like that, the fire in me don’t die that easily and I’m much more stronger because I have the kids putting me up in a pedestal, urm, but that could depressing to be held up so high, huhu

Oh, whatever, it’s not about me and it’s not about depression, its RAYA!

This eid, my students said;

Please coming to my home!

How many raya kurungs do you have?

How many kuih tunjuk or you buy?

It’s rain here, how to raya?

When teacher nak mai balik ke sini?

hehe

So, forgive me for not uploading the pictures yet,

Forgive me for being a bad teacher,

Forgive me for blabbering about school stuffs,

Forgive me for talking so enthusiastically about my students,

Forgive me that my students made hand made raya cards to me,

Forgive me for getting more raya cards than you,

Forgive me for receiving more raya sms than you,

Forgive me because I’m called a teacher now,

Forgive me because many people think I’m working whereas I have one semester to go,

Forgive me because my students all invite me to their homes this raya,

Forgive me because I’ll be spending this raya far from home but it’ll be such an adventure!

Forgive and Forget my wrongdoings, please

and have a HAPPY MOST MERRY EID MUBARAK!

How Low should i Go?!

Bismillah, Assalamualaikum :'(

It’s been 10 weeks that I’m still here teaching Big Pumpkin High School for my practicum and I feel like a failure in terms of my teaching.

and that’s what’s depressing me most of all, that everything is my fault when it comes to teaching…

My practicum partner and I are blessed! We have everything anyone could ask for and we feel really contented about everything that we have.

In the hostel;

We live in the school’s hostel for free including the water and electricity.

We only have to pay such a small amount, RM7 a day for eating the school hostel’s 6 times meal.

We have television as a sort of entertainment.

We don’t mind taking care of the hostel kids because the boys and girls are so superbly nice and hospitable.

We don’t go out in the weekdays and only after school on Thursday do we start our expedition around Kedah.

Every weekend, when the hostel kids have to return to their homes, Nani and I have our own little destination budget and we get to crash other people’s house for the weekend. So far, we have been to all our course mates’ house (girls of course) except for one.

Most of my money goes to the car, the maintenance, oil and the snow wash.

At school;

EVERYONE is so nice to us! The principal, the vice principal, all the other teachers, the staff and especially the students in all the forms are always so kind.

We have not been bullied like the school giving us extra works or other teachers taking advantage of us just because we have less work compared to them.

We only get 1 relief a day or none at all and we could refuse if we really have to, there’s no pressure in relief and usually when I’m free, I don’t mind taking 2 classes for relief.

We have a super duper nice and supportive teacher supervisor who is always there for us to help us and she can totally relate to our problems because she understands the kids.

We have an experienced lecturer supervisor who always wants us to find ways to get the students to understand and for us to teach according to the students’ level.

And speaking of which, that’s my major problem!

I HAVE PROBLEM GOING TO THE STUDENTS’ LEVEL!!!

A Class of 48...

Bismillah, Assalamualaikum :s

If I could, I take all the students that I could
and teach them myself
everyone of them
bit by bit
one on one
or better yet
I’d hire a personal tutor and get them to do private lessons
for these students
because a class of a maximum of 48 students
just won’t work out
it doesn’t work out at all

so I geddit
its not that they don’t understand
but they are not able to comprehend
because they don’t have the confidence
and they are demotivated
and they need that attention
but a class of 48 students is almost impossible
to get them to use the language
so how do I handle that

a class of 48
I cannot cater
to everyone
because at the end of the day
the exam – oriented system wins
so how could I beat that

somehow I know I could
but I don’t know how
it always feels like I’m getting somewhere
but I end up nowhere
and the students are lost
and I wanna wrap them in my arms
all 48 of them
and shower them with all that I have
nothing material
everything in my heart and my soul
mostly knowledge
and LOVE for knowledge

nothing beats a class of 48
but perhaps I could…

This Ramadhan 1429H

Bismillah, Assalamualaikum :)

HAPPY CELEBRATING THE HOLY MONTH OF RAMADAN 1429H ^_^

This Ramadan;

I will be celebrating this holy month with my students at the school and I AM EXCITED! At the same time, I know I will feel more tired, hopefully not more hungry than I always feel and God Forbid me to lose patience with the students, huhu..

My only younger brother, Hilmi is going away to a place where he always wanted to go, to the Middle East to further his studies and I will miss his presence because blood is always so thick.

Mai Sis will be going back to England this end of September but this time around, I can actually send her off at the airport, yey!

I resolve every year to be so much better, to always escalate my ibadah and to find the night of Lailatul Qadr.

I want to keep on praying for enlightenment not just for me but also for my students.


Ramadan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur'an as a guide to mankind also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (between right and wrong). So everyone of you who is present (at his home) during that month should spent it in fasting, but if anyone is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed period (should be made up) by days later. Allah intends every facility for you He does not want to put you to difficulties. (He wants you) to complete the prescribed period, and to glorify Him in that He has guided you; and perchance ye shall be grateful.
Al-Baqara [2:185]
