TELEVISION

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah hi wabarokatuh. :D

You know what, I just found a great poem which is a classic poem that is really appealing! LOL.

Actually, I read this when I'm doing my English task. And don't know how, out of the blue, I want to share this poem in this blog. Haha, sounds funny right. :3

This poem is really true and it is a little bit funny actually. But trust me, when you read this poem, you will feel the same thing as I felt. Hope so~ 

Huh, I've no idea to describe what I felt actually. =.=''


TELEVISION

The most important thing we've learned,
So far as children are concerned,
Is never, NEVER, NEVER let
Them near your television set -
Or better still, just don't install
The idiotic thing at all.


In almost every house we've been,
We've watched them gaping at the screen.
They loll and slop and lounge about,
And stare until their eyes pop out.
(Last week in someone's place we saw
A dozen eyeballs on the floor.)
They sit and stare and stare and sit
Until they're hypnotised by it,
Until they're absolutely drunk
With all that shocking ghastly junk.

Oh yes, we know it keeps them still,
They don't climb out the window sill,
They never fight or kick or punch,
They leave you free to cook the lunch
And wash the dishes in the sink --
But did you ever stop to think,
To wonder just exactly what
This does to your beloved tot?

It rots the sense in the head!
It kills imagination dead!
It clogs and clutters up the mind!
It makes a child so dull and blind
He can no longer understand
A fantasy, a fairyland!
His brain becomes as soft as cheese!
His powers of thinking rust and freeze!
He cannot think - he only sees!

"All right!" you'll cry. "All right!" you'll say,
"But if we take the set away,
What shall we do to entertain
Our darling children? Please explain!"
We'll answer this by asking you,
"What used the darling ones to do?"
"How used they keep themselves contented
Before this monster was invented?"
Have you forgotten? Don't you know?

We'll say it very loud and slow:
THEY ... USED ... TO ... READ! They'd READ and READ,
AND READ and READ, and then proceed
To READ some more. Great Scott! Gadzooks!
One half their lives was reading books!
The nursery shelves held books galore!
Books cluttered up the nursery floor!
And in the bedroom, by the bed,
More books were waiting to be read!
Such wondrous, fine, fantastic tales
Of dragons, gypsies, queens, and whales
And treasure isles, and distant shores
Where smugglers rowed with muffled oars,
And pirates wearing purple pants,
And sailing ships and elephants,
And cannibals crouching 'round the pot,
Stirring away at something hot.
(It smells so good, what can it be?
Good gracious, it's Penelope.)

The younger ones had Beatrix Potter
With Mr. Tod, the dirty rotter,
And Squirrel Nutkin, Pigling Bland,
And Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle and-
Just How The Camel Got His Hump,
And How the Monkey Lost His Rump,
And Mr. Toad, and bless my soul,
There's Mr. Rat and Mr. Mole-

Oh, books, what books they used to know,
Those children living long ago!
So please, oh please, we beg, we pray,
Go throw your TV set away,
And in its place you can install
A lovely bookshelf on the wall.
Then fill the shelves with lots of books,
Ignoring all the dirty looks,
The screams and yells, the bites and kicks,
And children hitting you with sticks-

Fear not, because we promise you
That, in about a week or two
Of having nothing else to do,
They'll now begin to feel the need
Of having something to read.
And once they start - oh boy, oh boy!
You watch the slowly growing joy
That fills their hearts. They'll grow so keen
They'll wonder what they'd ever seen
In that ridiculous machine,
That nauseating, foul, unclean,
Repulsive television screen!
And later, each and every kid
Will love you more for what you did.

Roald Dahl (1964)


-------------------------------------------------------------

For me, TV is good in some ways, but somehow it is addicting. So, peeps, let's equip ourselves with reading habit. Note to myself actually. Hee~

But, remember, choose a good quality book and make sure it is worth reading. This will train and develop your mind to think creatively and critically. Peace! ^^


Mesti pernah tengok cerita ni kan?
p/s: Roald Dahl is well-known for writing children's books.

TRUE STORY

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

Assalamualaikum~ :)

Sedih sangat bila kita perlukan sesuatu, benda tu takde, menghilang, rosak. Aisshh, memang dugaan betul bila laptop rosak ni.

Semua benda ada dalam tu. SEMUA! Daripada sekecil2 alam, hinggalah sebesar2 alam. Adess. T_T

Rasa geram juga bila laptop rosak time tengah buat assignment. Nasib baiklah tinggal beberapa je assignment kena hantar. Tapi, still, sedih sangat. Harap sangat dapat dibaiki. Assignment tu semua kenangan tahu. Betapa banyaknya titik peluh saya untuk menghasilkan satu assignment yang diberi tu. Erk.

Doakan ye agar laptop tu dapat kembali hidup bersama saya, mengharungi detik2 di KMB ni yang tinggal lagi beberapa bulan je ni. Dialah sahabat saya suka dan duka, tak pernah merungut kalau saya share masalah ke, berkongsi pendapat, teman saya stay up sampai lewat malam, menghiburkan hati saya, beri saya semangat, bla3. Chewahh. Over pula dia.

Arghh, nak nangis. T_T

Ujian ni baru sikit Alyani oii. Itu pun dah tak tahan.

Nak buat balik assignment semua tu, waduhh. Dalam pendrive adalah sikit, tapi itu yang berzaman punya entah.

Rasa nak mengamuk tu ada gak la. Geram, sedih, menyesal, semua ada.

Nasi dah jadi bubur dah~ But still, bubur pun boleh makan gak kan?

Yosh, kena cari alternatif baru. Ganbarre~!

Maybe ni pun satu peringatan untuk saya supaya sentiasa sediakan payung plus baju hujan plus kasut tahan air sebelum hujan menimpa. Kan kan kan?
"dan sungguh, Kami benar2 akan menguji kamu sehingga Kami mengetahui orang2 yang benar2 berjihad dan bersabar di antara kamu, dan akan Kami uji perihal kamu." [47:31]
Uhuk uhuk,
kesimpulannya, buat pelajar2 kat luar sana, tolonglah buat back-up file in case kalau kejadian macam ni terjadi. Tak payah susah2 nak buat baru. Kalau takde duit nak beli hard disk, simpan je semua assignment2 tu dalam pendrive pun ok. Kadang2 kita fikir benda ni mustahil untuk terjadi kat kita, tapi who knows?

Awak ada prophecy ke nak ramal masa depan? Takde kan, so, baik dengar cakap saya~ ^^
Kalau saya, saya nak pilih yang pink tu. xD
p/s: Idea lama semua dah terbang, sekarang terhegeh2 nak cari idea baru. Memang melatih diri ini untuk sentiasa berfikir. Oh, i like that~

UNTITLED #2

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

Warning: Jangan baca kalau tak suka dengar orang merungut.

Mungkin orang akan anggap saya ni tak bersyukur ke apa. Saya tahu tu. And in a way, sometimes.. yes I am! Saya mengaku tu.

But, can you imagine, I am here with a bunch of students that will go to overseas soon. And MARA gave me a condition where I have to continue my studies at NUMed but in Johor, its branch. But not to others.


Not because I am not being grateful, I am really thankful about it, indeed. But still, it is not very certain. Yela, if you not pass the IB requirements plus IB total points, still you can't enter it.

Dah lah MARA bagi kat random students je untuk ke NUMed ni as it is a new international branch in Malaysia. And I am one of the randomness. Err.

And one more thing, saya nak sangat belajar kat overseas. This is one of the reasons why I applied for MARA under PILN (Program Ijazah Luar Negara) back then. Plus, this is also why I did not choose UIA instead of KMB. And I really grateful when I passed the MARA interview and got the offer from them to continue my studies under Diploma International Baccalaureate (IB) in medical field.

Guess what, IB is not easy man! And I am just a daily school student that is suddenly got stuck here among all the top students. That is why I always got homesick in Sem 1. These things are somehow a new environment for me.

And now, they are hustling with University's interview especially for Ireland and UK bounded students. Me? I did not get the opportunities to experience the so-called an adrenaline rush experience. Because I got NUMed.

When my friends got a conditional offer from their favorite universities, of course I envy them. I mean, bukanlah jelez apa, but I want that too. I want to go to Ireland.


Anyway, congrats buddies!

Orang kata belajar dalam negara pun not bad actually. Yes, I really admit that. But then, why must I am here with this crowd of students. Lain kali campaklah saya kat tempat yang environment dia tak cerita pasal fly.

Student NUMed kat sini teramatlah sedikit. But some of them memang apply for PIDN (Program Ijazah Dalam Negara), so maybe not so depressed. Because they want it. But not for me.

And ada budak yang senasib dengan saya, minta PILN tapi dapat PIDN. But then, they have money. They made a contract with MARA that they want to pursue their studies in overseas. They made a deal which they will not get MARA scholarship when in overseas. So, they've made it. They can apply for any universities that they really want. Because, they have their parents to support them if anything happens.

But me? Neehh.

I always say to myself, there must be a reason why Allah puts me here. And yes, I always convince myself about that. EVERY DAY.

But sometimes, I feel soooo bad. Why must me? Why not anyone else? Why must me becomes their guinea pig.

Most of my friends outside there thought that I am going to fly soon after I finish this programme. HARHARHAR. You are wrong my dear.

Ya Allah. Sorry for not being grateful. I just feel like a loser. Emm, maybe this is not so appropriate to define it. Aishh.


I just feel embarrass with myself, with my friends. All my cliques get the opportunities to pursue their studies in overseas. But, why not me. I want it toooo~

Dah banyak merepek da. Sigh~

Some people will not understand because they are not in my shoes. Thank you.

Knock knock.
p/s: I need support.
2nd p/s: Merepek kan entri ni? Huh. I also feel the same~
3rd p/s: Sorry...

"THIS IS MY JOURNEY. HE PUTS ME HERE. IT IS HIS PLAN. SO, I HAVE TO CARRY ON AND TRUST HIM." :')
