Praise and Glory Be to You My Lord. In Your Glorious Name I Begin

:) Peace greetings be upon all of you..

Hmm been quite a while since I expressed some thoughts here..

Teringat style Solah ibn Abu Solah berkata “Lamenye Solah tak writing kat sini”.. Lol.. cute..

So the new year is approaching in less than a week’s time.. Have you all shopped for your planners and organizers yet..? I still need to get mine. And I need to get it quick.. in fact I would rate this as fairly late already… i.e for proactive people’s standard… for the standard of a true Muslim….

Your clients are your madu... And you are a Muslim...and a MUSLIM who really lives up to his name is a world class individual
Your clients are your mad’u… And you are a Muslim…and a MUSLIM who really lives up to his name is a world class individual

‘Planners & organizers’ ..?

Penting ke…?

~ ~ ~

Ada apa dengan sebuah ‘buku’ ?

Balaa

Dalam buku ada

segalanya

Maka

jangan diperlekeh nilai sebuah ‘buku catatan’

~ ~ ~

Betapa pentingnya sebuah ‘buku record’ dapat dilihat by the fact that our Deeds KESELURUHANNYA tercatat di atas sebuah ‘buku’.. terkandung di dalamnya segala serba serbi amalan kita..

a book that will not betray,

one record book,

carefully compiled,

by two Loyal Writers.


:) So how set are you to confront the New Year..?

I personally have to be prepared at all cost. We’re currently undergoing our yearly Teachers Training at school, (hah! make no mistake that your Teachers masuk sekolah 2 minggu lebih awal from you all, o beloved Students!) and yesterday we just had a Teachers meeting and I have been gracefully handed;

Two EXAM classes

for next year.. and now I’m just like

*in a daze*

And still trying to get over it ..

Imagine two subjects namely English & Islamic Studies.

Imagine two major examinations.

Imagine two classes.

Imagine 45 students.

Imagine one teacher.

Al-Hamdu lillah, its good if you can imagine what I’m up against next year..

Because I really cant..


Lol..

It’ll be my first (FIRST) experience handling an exam class, insha’ALLAH

So one more week to go to get all necessary preparations SOLID STRONG. InshaAllah 2009 shall be my third year of service in the school.. dan setelah 2 tahun berada di sini diriku sudah mula mengerti bahawasanya perjalanan tahunan dari 1 January hingga 15 November on a yearly basis sungguh bagaikan satu acara balapan di trek larian..

Berlarian di trek Kehidupan
1 tahun umpama 1 satu pusingan


And the key word here being you’re literally on the run..

Gear kena sentiasa on D… larian yang berterusan.

Maka dari itu, persediaan harus dilakukan sebelum larian bermula. Kerna sesungguhnya sebaik saja tembakan Tahun Baru dilepaskan you just have to; run, and you will have to keep on running ..even if you dont want to!

And part of the preparation is getting yourself a good organizer to help you get organized thru out the 12 months… my personal organizer is for me, one important & prized asset that helps me administer my life…

MPHs offers a good selection, my favourite usual spot is MPH, JJ Wangsa Maju.. inshaAllah akan dilangsaikan this very day, insha’ALLAH!!!

I like mine simple..

but with a lot of functions

Monthly and weekly pages; mandatory components
Monthly and weekly pages; ..mandatory components.
with a brids eye view of the Monthly pages. feature yang tersangat penting!
and an overall birds eye view of the Monthly pages.. feature yang tersangat penting !
even
even if I can afford a digital canggih one, as an oldie from the old school I would still very much prefer the conventional manual form… ^_^

e
as i was randomly surfing for these images i came across this one; a combo of digital and conventional approaches.. hmm.. nice (:

So insha’Allah, gettin ready to run…

“Ruqaya Al-Ghasara, you make us proud.. Wal-Hamdu lillah”, your Muslim Ummah.

      Salaamun alayk Illi Dearest..

      :D Lol @ “menjual planner” ! … shukran for the humour Li.. that really cracked me up..! its really significant that you should be saying that cause ana memang tengah ada ongoing project of coming up with a Student Planner kat sekolah.. kire bile dah siap memang planner tu akan ‘dijual’ gak ah kan.. chehh.. :D inshaAllah tapi bukan dalam masa terdekat ar..

      MASHA ALLAH you bought your planner 3 months early, Li!!! wow itu sudah super-proaktif tuh!.. :D but of course, student Phd sememangnye berwawasan tinggi.. ;)

      JazakyAllahu khayr Dr Illi.. (Ameen) for the support.. ^_^ *hugs*

    it seems amusing for someone to write about organizers but then again when u write about it, its all inspiring and with lotsa advices and messages for all to take heed so thank you! =)

    nway, i used to write detailed accounts of diary, journals and yearly planner, something british schools encouraged my siblings and i to do a lot and then as the years go by, it got less detailed and now its just like a sentence, hehe, and when i have a real job next year, i am considering to buy a pda phone even if i’m just a teacher because i like to see all my yearly planner go beep beep when its time, hehe :p

    nway, i can see alarm bells going off, heartbeat racing and sweaty palms when u hear that u will be teaching exam classes but really, its going to be a blast and its just that stepping stone that u need to move ahead of your career and u need to move ahead because its challenging and it will make u a better teacher than ur already are aite ;)

    its gonna be tough, i can imagine because i have seen other teachers going at it but i can truly imagine u are going to be great and make a tremendous difference to ur students and they will appreciate whatever ur going to do =)

    i read that i should not ask for it to be easy for you but for your heart to be strong when facing whatever hardships Allah has in store for you for it only will make u a better person, InsyaAllah, my prayers are always with you!

    *hugs from afar*

      Al-Salaamu alayki My Dearest Madeha,

      Jazaky Allahu khayr Teacher for your genuine motivation.. really, in all sense of the word.. i feel extra DRIVEN after reading your speech, my heartfelt appreciation; that was really a rewarding read, Subhan Allah..

      Yaa diaries & journal writing is a very effective writing technique kan.. its another method that helps develop our language proficiency.. as well as the psychological factor in it being therapeutic..

      :) On the PDA Phone.. you are absolutely right on that one.. :) they have the advantage of keeping us alert on our events.. yup if you can afford it let nothing stop you from becoming a MUSLIM Educator who is adept, professional & technologically competent.. and i can just see you as one! :)

      Thank you so much Madehah, truly, its so wonderful how as teachers we can just trust each other to have an in depth comprehension of the other’s inner turbulence(s)..

      Salaamun alayk K.Syida Dearest.. :)

      JAZAKY ALLAHU KHAYR AL-JAZAA’ kSyida for your thoughtful thought .. *SUPER BIG HUG* Subhan Allah it was just what i NEEDED.. i was just about to look for a desk top calendar.. MashaAllah they were such a nice complementary set.. the organizer note pads were really nice, AlHamdu llilah.. very practical.. kFatin said they were just her kind of designs.. i took the green one and kFatin had the pink one.. ;) they’ll surely come in handy for us kSyida. we love you!!!

      Surely Allah will ensure your difficulties made easy in return.. i will be praying for it insha’ALLAH.

    hmm.. lama tak update.. rindu baca entries from cerminhidup =)

    sebut pasal² planner ni, teringat kata

    “when u fail to plan, you plan to fail…”

    betapa penting perlu ada planning sistem… tp yg paling penting, sistem tu mesti sesuai dengan diri org tu..

    ana pernah membeli dan menguna pelbagai bentuk planner, tp last² yg paling best ialah buku 555 yg blh bawa ke mana² dan calendar tahunan depan meja study…

    ps: i still don’t understand what ur doin n where ur studying :(

      Al-Salaamu laykum.. Wah Monsieur Amin! What a pleasant surprise.. :)

      Yup you’re definitely right on that one; I owe my readers paparan entri terkini.. sebenarnya memang berhajat sangat nak menulis..aduh, tapi tak berkesempatan.. and Subhan Allah you were ahead of me by one comment..i was just deciding on updating with new entries just now, but you were quicker and got here before the blog owner! :D Lol..

      Saheeh!..that quotation has always been a meaningful one for moi.. but then again I believe I have yet to succeed in planning + executing..

      Buku 555 eh..saheeh saheeh.. the smaller & the lighter the better! Most definitely correct..practicalitynya memang ngak bisa disangkal.. :D

      “ps: i still don’t understand what ur doin n where ur studying”

      Lol..Masha Allah I do apologize for the confusion you’re facing..
      Okay lah Monsieur for your clarification, heres a brief history:

      Where studying is concerned; Al-Hamdu lillah, I completed my undergraduate studies 2 years ago from Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia / International Islamic University Malaysia, my major was in English Language & Literature (*this is not TESL, I didn’t get to do TESL back then..huhu..but TabarakAllah, Allah doesnt just know better, He knows best) and Al-Hamdu lillah.. I graduated by end of 2006. Hamdan lillah, dipermudahkan rizq by The Most Merciful Sustainer, I was offered a job as a Teacher in a secondary school soon after I graduated and started working immediately the following year, since then I’ve been (contented) with the teaching experience in the school and Al-Hamdu lillah have just recently entered my third year of service..

      So I’ll just sum that up for you
      “where ur studying?” > I studied in UIAM and graduated with a bachelors degree in English Language & Literature with minor in Revealed Knowledge

      “what ur doin?” > I’m currently working as a secondary school Teacher..

      Or make that ..currently serving as a Mu’allima Murabbiya. ;)

      Al-Salaamu alaykum OF..it’d be ever so nice if you could enlighten me with your identity ya Ukhty!.. :D

      My Dearest Sister, JazakiAllahu khayran khathera for honouring me with your continuous ’silent’ visits :D ..

      Al-Hamdu lillah, Allah has in His Glorious Book endlessly urged us as His noblest creations to maximize His special gift upon us; i.e. the faculty of the Mind..so i was just humbly making a lot practice of that.. :) ummm AlHamdu-lillah, i guess i do like to contemplate a lot and being a student of literature, my contemplative thoughts are always fused with one or two literature elements so yea..so you’ll end up with the things i have presented out here in this humble e-journal of mine.. Shukran jazelan for your words of encouragement!

      But Subhan Allah i say this truthfully; it really beats me that people could actually bear my long posts.. :D hahaha.. but AlHamdu lillah wa shukru lillah for this little space that Allah has given me to share my views and interact with others who aspires to the same points of view, therefore please, i cordially invite you to voice your thoughts & opinions here too :)
