seorang lelaki   mahukan seorang isteri yang pandai memasak, pandai menjahit dan cantik tapi bagi seorang wanita, mereka hanya mahukn seorang suami yang bertanggungjwab dan setia.... 

 


tudung labuhku...

setulus bicara
Meluahkan rasa
Sehelai tudung labuh
Seindah hijab menjadi plilihanku

Suatu ketika dahulu
Diri hanya  insan biasa
Gadis yang hanya berpesonaliti biasa
Namun Hidayah-Nya

Hadir tanda kasihNya
Tudung labuh menyentuh fitrah
Membuatkan aku jatuh cinta
Pada hijab yang sempurna..

Tudung labuh sangat bermakna
Menjadi penghormatan pada diriku sebagai seorang wanita
Aku berubah bukan kerana ingin mendapat gelaran ustazah
Namun tanda cinta pada Illahi yang memberi perintah

Untuk kaum hawa menjaga aurat dengan sebaiknya
kerana itulah yang terindah dan berharga

Kadang kala
Aku kecewa
Pada sikap segelintir manusia
Hanya pandai menyindir tanpa usul periksa

Sangat susah untuk mendidik hati supaya lebih sabar dan redha
Namun ku kuatkan semangat untuk tidak berputus asa
Istiqamah dalam menjaga aurat demi keranaNya

Ya Allah.... Ya Tuhanku
Janganlah kau bolak-balikkan hatiku
Setelah Engkau memberiku Hidayah-Mu
Tetapkanlah hati ini dalam meneruskan perjuangan rasul-Mu
Dan Engkau kuatkan diri dalam mujadah nafsu
Moga Engkau redha atas segala laku....

Untuk Mu..

sudah takdir begitu (samudera)

hidup ibarat didalam sangkar
mata terlepas batinku tersiksa
rindu membara dan kian membakar
dipinggir hati yang sengsara

masihkah dapat aku hiaskan
cintamu itu ditaman hatiku
kepada Tuhan kuterus berdoa
agar kembali ketenangan

walaupun kusedari hebatnya dugaan
namun hatiku menaruh harapan
seringkali ku terasa inginnya kuulangi
saat yang indah bersama dirimu 

kasih yang bersarang dihati
wangi bagai harum kasturi
seandainya takdir mengizinkan relanya
aku menyambung semula
ikatan yang telah putus dulu

bukan niat kita untuk berpisah
tetapi keadaan yang memaksa
lalu kitapun masih terus saling merindu
kerana sudah takdirNya begitu

hidup ibarat didalam sangkar
mata terlepas batinku tersiksa
rindu membara dan kian membakar
dipinggir hati yang sengsara

kenapa???

si Hawa sering menjd mangsa?

di fitnah di hina di cerca

di rgol di rgut di seksa di dera 

seakan tiada batas hentinya

dimana silap dimana salahnya

adkah si Hawa menjd punca?

terllu mudah mengtakan ya

pada pjuk rayu sang buaya

memang tabiat sang buaya 

licik dan bijak mencari mangsa 

janji di hambur tiada batsnya

akhirnya si Hawa terkulai tak bernyawa

si Hawa di cipta indah mempesona

lenggang lenggok mengetar jiwa 

si Hawa di jdkan sebagai senjata

melumpuhkan mangsa lemah imannya

memang begitu lumrahnya dunia

tak kira Adam tak kira Hawa

ingin masyhur seantero dunia 

walau agama jadi korban

arak di tuang aurat di buka

zina jadi amalan tiada salah

dadah di ambil amlan biasa

melepak merempit jadi kebanggaannya

bila  mahkota di musnah buaya

menangis si Hawa meronta- ronta

sesali nasib yang menimpa

namun sesalan tiada gunanya

wahai makhluk bergelar Hawa

pagari dirimu dengan iman di dada

usah terpedaya kemiskinan dunia 

agar hidupmu bahagia selamanya...... ;-)

public vs private university

Nowadays, students do not know how to choose the best university among them.. this is because there have many university in malaysia including private and public university.. there are several benefits we can get between public and private university..

Benefits of attending a public university.. 

• Tuition is much cheaper than that of a private university. For a year of classes, public tuition is approximately $3,500 for a full load of classes. Semester and quarter systems do not differ in the total price of tuition.
• Students who do not get achieve high enough grades to gain admittance into a private university (which can be extremely exclusive) will have a much easier time attending a public university. But while a public university may be easier to get into, the curriculum may be just as difficult—or more difficult—than a private university's.
• Public universities are much larger and more diverse than the average private university, and students may feel more comfortable around a larger student population that it offers.
• Students have more of a choice as to which area of the country to attend school at when they select a public university. Since the chances of being accepted at such a public school are greater, the student can select a university in any climate, geographical region, or city they desire.

• Public universities are not as prestigious as private universities, and some careers might be more difficult to enter after graduation.
• The larger size of public universities may distance the student from the educational atmosphere, making them feel more anonymous among the student population.

Benefits of attending a private university...

• Like privatized junior high and high schools, private universities generally have smaller class sizes, and more prestige than does a public university.
• Students generally build stronger, more personal relationships with their professors and instructors, as there are special programs designed to increase communication and dialogue between the two. It is not uncommon for a university to arrange for professors to dine, correspond, and interact with students on a personal, friendly level.
• Private universities also have a significantly higher amount of extra-curricular activities and programs for students to participate in, which can develop a stronger sense of community.

• Perhaps the greatest drawback of attending a private university is the difficulty in being accepted for admission. Harvard University—one of the country's most prestigious schools—only admits 1,650 students a year, only a very small portion of all those who apply. The admission process is therefore intensely competitive.
• Price can be prohibitive for lower-income students, although many universities offer financial aid packages to those students who excel academically in spite of their financial backgrounds.

As a conclusion, the most important factor of a successful education is how well-suited the school is to the individual student's needs and career interests. Students should consider rate their ideal university's unique programs and course offerings before deciding on which school to attend.
 

Broken English

    Have you heard about ‘broken English’? In my understanding, broken English is referring to English language that is being use in incorrect ways by people who not use to speak in English. Broken English usage may involve grammatical errors, sentences structure errors and so on. But in actual definition Broken English is a term used by native English speakers to describe the grammatically incorrect English of some non-native speakers. It is sometimes called fractured English. Image below is an example for broken English usage:-P

love?

What is the one emotion that has everyone mystified? What is the one emotion that has started as many wars as it has ended? What emotion has had more plays, songs, and stories written about it than anything else? Love, that one emotion that makes enemies into friends and friends into enemies. This emotion, bring tears to our eyes when something happens to our family members, friends, and pets. When we feel love ripped from us, as in death or being spurned by another, we do things we wouldn't normally do, such as go on violent rampages, or mourn to the extent that our loved ones have to watch us constantly to make sure we don't try anything like suicide. Some can move on, always remembering the lost loved one after a while, but others cannot let go. These are the ones that need our love and support the most. The question now is, do you believe in love?? 

health

as a student, it is compulsory for us to take care of our health..

One of the most important things to do to stay healthy is get enough sleep every night. If I don't, it could have a major effect on the rest my day. For instance, I could have mood swings. If I can't make it through the day without feeling tired, then I know I didn't get enough sleep. I will do much better in school and feel much better with a good amount of sleep. Infants need about 16 hours a day, while teenagers need about 9 hours. For most adults, 7 to 8 hours a night is just the right amount of sleep. Women in the first 3 months of pregnancy often need a couple more hours of sleep than usual. The amount of sleep a person needs also increases if he or she has not gotten enough sleep in the days before. I need about 9 hours of sleep. It is very hard for people to sleep if they have insomnia, sleep apnea, and restless legs syndrome.

I need to start my day with a healthy breakfast. Breakfast fills my stomach to get me going after a long night without food, and gives me the energy to get through the day. It can also help me do better in school. A healthy breakfast could be cereal, fruit, yogurt, bagels, or breads. Snacks are a great way to refuel. I need to choose snacks from different food groups like milk, bread, fruit and even vegetables. Cookies, chips and candy are okay for occasional snacking. I don't have to give up foods like hamburgers, french fries and ice cream to eat healthy. To eat healthy, I just need to eat those things less often or in proportion. I need nutrients like protein, carbohydrates, fat, and many different vitamins and minerals. Balancing food choices from the Food Guide Pyramid is a great way to stay healthy.

Physical activity should also be part of my daily routine. Walking, biking or jogging once a day is a great thing to do. Dancing is even exercising! Something that is very healthy to do is to climb stairs instead of taking an escalator or elevator. I need to try to do these things that take more physical ability, like walking home instead of taking the bus. I need to start with a warm-up that stretches my muscles in the morning and before physical activities. After I do physical activities I need to do a cool-down with more stretching and deep breathing. If I don't stretch after I do a physical activity I get sore and stiff. I need to join all the activities I can. That will make me feel and look healthy.

Oral health is also very important. I need to brush my teeth at least twice a day. I need to floss my teeth and cleanse my mouth with mouthwash everyday. If I don't do those things I could get gum cancer, gingivitis, or my teeth could decay. If my teeth decay I won't be able to eat. I would have to eat food that was smashed into a paste and that tastes bad! I should go to the dentist at least twice a year. I need to get my teeth cleaned. If I have teeth growing in the wrong places, it could get very nasty. If I get cavities I need to get those drilled and filled in. I just need to go to the dentist and everything will be fine. Smoking and chewing tobacco can ruin your teeth horribly. They could become discolored.

One the worst things I could do, is to not take a shower. This would be bad for me, and the people around me. Millions of germs get on me everyday. I need to take a shower to cleanse myself and get rid of these unwanted germs, before they cause diseases or infections. It also helps my mood if I am clean. I also need to wash my hands a lot. No matter what you do, germs will get on you. Bathing is a source of relaxation or rejuvenation. The main reasons for bathing is to remove dirt, dead skin cells, microorganisms and body odor. I need to shower or bath everyday.

Drugs can hurt me very badly. I have never been offered drugs or even seen drugs. I know never to use drugs. Drugs enter the human body in a number of ways, including injection, inhalation, and ingestion. They can do anything to me. There are many ways they can affect me badly. Also, some drugs are against the law. I will never do drugs.

Grammar............. :-)

hurm......... sometimes, grammar is everything..

preposition? what is prepositions?? 

here some notes... hehe J

Prepositions

Just 40 kilometres as the crow as the crows flies from Ipoh, Cameron Highlands nestle on a 1,500 metre plateau. It stretches from Ringlet in the south, past Tanah Rata at its heart, to Brincang and Tangkap in the nort. Ringlet Lake is at the start of the lower highlands that are home to several tea plantations. The highland’s climate is deal for tea but equally good for vegetables, flowers and fruits. The produce, from strawberries to cauliflower, find their way to the hotels of Kuala Lumpur and grocers in Singapore.

                                                          Adapted from Going Places, June 2005

      The words bolded in red from the text above are known as prepositions. Many of the most common word in English are prepositions.

      In fact, prepositions like of, to, in, for, with, on, at and by are words which are commonly used by everyone.

      The Concise Oxford Dictionary considers it an ‘indeclinable words’ serving mark the relation between the noun or pronoun it governs and another word.

      Prepositions also have special functions as part of a verb or adverb.

      Like adverbs, it is difficult to recognize preposition just from the form of the words.

      In fact, some words can function both as preposition and as prepositions and adverbs or even conjunction.

      

Difference between preposition and adverbs      

A preposition ‘governs’ an object, so it is always related to noun, a noun phrase, pronoun or gerund ; an adverb particle does not ‘govern’ an object, so it is more closely related to a verb.

                                                            (Alexander 1988, p.145)

Form of repositions

      Classified according

ü  Simple preposition (one word)

ü  Complex preposition (multiple word)

Simple prepositions

There are three main types:

      Monosyllabic (in, on)

      polysyllabic (inside, without)

      preposition derived from participles (barring, concerning)

Examples;    

In	to	as	inside	into	despite	barring
On	at	for	within	without	except	concerning
Off	up	past	beyond	beneath	granted	opposite

Complex prepositions

      Made up of two, three or four separate words but they must be considered as one.

      Their meaning cannot be derived from the meaning of the parts.

      They consist of a simple preposition preceded by a word from another category, such as an adverb, adjective or conjunction.

      Sometimes, it could be a simple preposition followed by a noun and then a further simple preposition.

      Complex preposition are normally stressed on one of the syllables.

Examples:

As for	Apart of	On top of	Because of	Together with	for the sake of
But for	Down from	In spite of	Along with	In relation to	By means of
Next to	Across from	In front of	Instead of	Except for

Types of prepositions (functions)

      The function of prepositions (meaning ‘placed before’) is to connect a noun structure to some words in the sentence.

       They are placed before a noun (on a table), noun phrases (near several tea plantations) or a pronoun (to them).

Prepositions of direction

      Movement in two dimensions can be either vertical, horizontal, or planar (i.e. staying within or passing across a plane).

      Movements in three dimensions can be either open (unrestricted) or closed (contained) (master, 1996, p.300-302).
