Novel Pembangun Jiwa

Assalamualaikum...

Bagi peminata setia genre novel tersebut pasti tahu siapa dia pengarang yang aku maksudkan.
Ya..dia itulah HABIBURRAHMAN EL SHIRAZY :-D

Aku sudahpun memiliki 5 novel karya Pak Habib. Dengar cerita ada yg pegi Bandung siap borong semua karya Pak Habib..hehehehe..

Karya-karya Kang Abik yang aku miliki sekarang ialah:
  1. Di Atas Sajadah Cinta
  2. Dalam Mihrab Cinta
  3. Pudarnya Pesona Cleopatra
  4. Ketika Cinta Bertasbih 1
  5. Ayat-ayat Cinta
(Wah!!Hampir RM100 aku belanja untuk 5 buku nih)

Minat terhadap karya Kang Abik tercetus ketika melihat trailer movie Ayat-ayat Cinta di YouTube. Walaupun aku tahu karya beliau telah lama dibaca oleh orang lain, namun aku tidak meminatinya ketika itu. Entah mengapa aku beranggapan ia sekadar novel yg biasa-biasa saja tanpa membacanya.

Satu hal yang penting, aku ni amat memilih dan teliti dalam pembelian bahan-bahan bacaan dan novel. Setelah membaca Dalam Mihrab Cinta, aku seperti terpesona dengan karya Kang Abik. Seperti terkena sihir lagaknya. Tetapi ia karya yang amat baik sekali kerana ia sangat terksesan dalam hati aku. Jangan tak tahu, aku menangis sepanjang membaca semua novel pembangun jiwa Kang Abik.

Sekarang aku masih mencari karya-karya Kang Abik yang lain yang diterjemah ke Bahasa Melayu. Yang karyanya Bahasa Indonesia aku tak berapa paham pulak nanti...

No More Segregation

Friday, 11 January 2008
Assalamualaikum

One of the news that I read today is about the students segregation at SMK Seremban. Apparently it was by the order of the headmaster who is currently away on Hajj. His order were implemented at the beginning of the school term and no teacher dared to question him. The boys and girls are separated in class, library, canteen and even walkways! The school even built a separate building for the classes so that the boys & girls don't mix.

To me, the idea of segregation is good as it controls the environment where there is no mixing between different sexes. With social problems on the escalate nowadays, no wonder the HM took that action I guess. But for total segregation I think its best to go to all boys or all girls schools. At least there the students can be a lot "free" to do their things without feeling inhibited by whether what they're doing right or wrong.

But co-ed schools are good too. I mean, take my case for example. I went to co-ed Islamic school. My class have boys & girls together in one class, although the girls occupy the right/left/back of the class and the boys occupies the other half, it was no problem at all!!!
We learn how to conduct ourselves in an Islamic environment. We put into action what was already instill in the Qur'an & Hadith. We, boys & girls, work together to maintain the cleanliness and orderliness of our class. Sure, there was cooperation but there was no free mixing around.

I think co-ed in Islamic environment school are good because it prepares you for the outside world. In universities, you still have to mix around with other people, male or female, but you have already learned how to behave appropriately and in manners that is within the Syariah context.Unless you are studying in all male/female universities, that's a different scenario altogether. Even in the working world you will have to work with the opposite sexes. It's inevitable.

I agree with co-ed school provided it's an Islamic one, even if they are not, then the parents & teachers have to instill in their children and pupils the values of Islam. We don't want them to become social misfit later on do we? After all they will be our future leaders, yours and mine.

Nothing Serious

Thursday, 10 January 2008
Assalamualaikum

The most that I will write in my blog are my perspective and thoughts in my day to day ventures like this entry.

Matters concerning the heart will never be written here. I have a "secret" blog for that matter. Serious issues also seems never written here, that's because I like face to face discussion on these issues. My work life are also seldom mention here. That's because I have impose a rule "not to write about my life at work and its environment". You can't know whom in the office will read it.

My other blog is on management. I already linked the page to this blog. I like to improve myself. Thus I've been collecting newspaper clippings on management, motivations and etc. Then I will type it back and post it with the original author's name in it. I'm too ethic conscious to take credit for some else's work. That is wrong.

Nothing serious enough here...

AYAT-AYAT CINTA - Rossa

Sunday, 6 January 2008
Desir pasir di padang tandus
Segersang pemikiran hati
Terkisah ku di antara cinta yang rumit

Bila keyakinanku datang
Kasih bukan sekedar cinta
Pengorbanan cinta yang agung
Ku pertaruhkan

Maafkan bila ku tak sempurna
Cinta ini tak mungkin ku cegah
Ayat-ayat cinta bercerita
Cintaku padamu
Bila bahagia mulai menyentuh
Seakan ku bisa hidup lebih lama
Namun harus ku tinggalkan cinta
Ketika ku bersujud

Bila keyakinanku datang
Kasih bukan sekedar cinta
Pengorbanan cinta yang agung
Ku pertaruhkan

Ketika ku bersujud

*This song is the OST for the movie Ayat-ayat Cinta, adapted from Pak Habib novel.
Wonder will it be shown in Malaysia. I have yet to read the novel, but I know Pak Habib has garnered a followings with his series of 'Cinta' novels. Aim for this month: Get his novel.

JAZZ

Jazz picked his sports car form because it’s the epitome of style. If there’s one thing he digs about Earth, it’s human culture.

Like Jazz, you are good by nature. But beware because mischievous thoughts sometimes tempt you. You want to be a leader and show some promise, but you have much to learn. In addition, you enjoy technology and are aware of the latest trends, but you stick with what works for you.

Choices in Life...NOT materialistically!!!

Assalamualaikum...

Increase in toll rate: from RM0.40 to RM0.60 (previously RM1.20 can make 3 trips, now RM1.20 can only make 2 trips..sigh...)
Increase in petrol: from RM 1.92/liter to RM 2.10 (maybe after the oncoming general election)
Increase in food stuff...
Increase in salary?..huhuhu.. wish it was real..

Now, all the ministers will advise the people to spend wisely, save money and blah..blah..blah
But the normal people are already doing that, and they are asking us TO DO MORE??!!
What about the ministers?!
What are they doing to cushion the impact of ever increasing-price-of-everything for the poor especially? Let the ministers' live the life of a normal 'rakyat' for a day and let see how they will cope. Then they will know how we the 'rakyat' are living before giving their I-know-what-I'm-saying remarks.

Choices on life...I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel just yet..materialistic wise that is..
But for other part in life there are choices..

Increase solat sunat...
Increase puasa sunat...
Increase sadaqah...
Increase reading the Qur'an...
Increase 'kesabaran dalam menangani cabaran kenaikan harga semua benda... :P

I Burnt the Pantry...

Thursday, 3 January 2008
Assalamualaikum

3rd day of the new year, I burnt a pizza with the microwave in my office's pantry.
Whoa!! did it cause a WHOLE LOT OF SMOKE!!!
And now I smell of something burning, including my whole office. After 2 hours, the smell is still there..
SHHH!!! The staff don't know it was me who did it. Except one of my boss.

Hope the smell will be gone tomorrow...luckily I didn't burn down the pantry, otherwise it will be a different case altogether (bahaya ofis kat bangunan high-rise ni..)

The Cycle Continues...2008

Tuesday, 1 January 2008
1st January 2008

Another cycle, another year, another time.
What will we make of it?
I know I have lots of plan this year. Will wait till the time comes if the said plans ever materialized or not.
New resolution? No..not for me. It doesn't work. For me I have to set goals for me to achieve something. Not to eager & flashy ones though. My goals are long term and involve slow process in obtaining it. That way I will be more satisfied and appreciative. Typical INFJ's...

So what are you doing this year?
