oh my engrish?impossibru!

when I was growing up,

I was actually being surrounded with people who had chosen at least something to do with teaching as their careers.

but somehow I managed to escape being involved in the teaching field.

why? don't ask me, I also don't know why.

I started reading (and yeah talking) at a very young age.

so, I decided to teach my cousins ABC and also all the nursery rhymes.

(ya Allah nerd-nya aku dari kecikkkk)

but of course it didn't work,

they just said to me

"nyanyi lagu london bridge jap.sambil main dekat luar k"

nyanyi?london bridge?outside the house?

ONNNNNNNN!

but still the noob amalina didn't realise that she was being bullied all along.

with determination,

I kept on asking them to "sign-up" to my "class"

(which was underneath my grandmother's staircase outside the house)

with a very pointy rock,

I carved all those alphabets on the wall,

and I can hear my grandmother shouted from the front door
"APA KAU BUAT NIIIIII?!"

and all of us will lari-sambil-menjerit

"bodoh la hang ni kenapa buat macam tuuuuu?!"

but trust me, that wasn't the last time it happened.

muehehehehhehehehe

after SPM, at least once a week I will go to my acik's house (bonda's big bro)

because being the first grandchild in my small family

(and also the only girl)

I had to help those three boys (my acik's sons) with their schoolworks.

MUEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHE

amalina with power to teach and access to rotan,

not good. not good.

Mu'az is the second child,

and yeah he's the most ermmm shall I say hardworking?

and he will ask me everything that he doesn't know and will ask if he doesn't understand.

so one student, no problem.

Muhaimin is the youngest.

my kamceng cousin yet can be my enemy.

he's very bright,you just have to tell him once and yeah the info is already somewhere in his brain.

BUT.

pemalasnya ya Allah.

our "tutoring lesson" was after dinner,

and Muhaimin, he will sit in front of me with his books,

and after 5 minutes,

he looked at me and said

"Mimin lapar lah. nak buat roti telur. kakak nak tak?"

"tapi kamu baru makan kan mimin?"

I said.

"ha'ah tapi lapar lagi"

can you imagine how I wanted to rotan him piap piap piap.

so instead of being accused of penderaan kanak-kanak,
I just gave him two options

"kamu duduk sini habiskan semua latihan ni lepastu kamu makan la apa kamu nak,

ataupun kamu pergi buat roti kamu tu, MAKAN SAMPAI HABIS walaupun kamu nak muntah,

lepastu malam ni tidur lambat sebab kamu kena habiskan homework kamu.

ha pilih la"

he chose the first option but yeah I had to listen to his

"kakak bukan kakak mimin. mimin tak sayang kakak"

for an hour and a half.

did I mention about Asyraf the first child?

no?

because he was busy playing games at that time.so he wasn't my student.
he just came to me once and said
"tolong kejap lukis peta untuk folio geografi"

"bila nak?"






"esok nak hantar"

so this kerja-bertangguh lies in genes then?

but I had to give them reward because they studied.

yup, you got it right.

I,ME,AMALINA, had to give THEM reward for studying.

how cool is that?
that's my cousins,people.

I couldn't choose, I had to accept both of their options.

whether I like it or not,

I HAD TO ACCEPT.

1. every 5 p.m, I had to walk with them or drove them to the mini market and waited for them to buy whatever they want.

which basically, I had to pay for all their snacks.

-__________________-"

to think, that wasn't true.
sometimes, they did spoil their kakak with ice-creams and crisps.
hihihihihihihihihihihihi

2. every 10 p.m, I had to play games with them

which most of the time was this "lawan-lawan" game on their PSII

which ended up I had to shout to stop them from fighting because Muhaimin started shouting at Mu'az and Asyraf

"PENIPU! MAIN TIPU! MIMIN NAK TUTUP PS NI!"

with one foot on the PS or hand on the main switch.

or 

"bagi la mimin main pulakkkkkk"

every.single.day.

macam perang dunia ketiga tahu tak bising nya?

I felt sorry for the neighbours.

in case their neighbours are reading this,

sorry neighbours on behalf of the three musketeers.

last night (Malaysia)

I have reached the highest level of boredom,

after taught my abah how to play temple run,

instead of feeling guilty of not studying, I decided to log on to my twitter account.

and taraaaaa the result.

*yawns*

Hi, my name is Amalina.

Azreen is not my name though.

it's encik beliau's name.

why on earth his name is on that twitter account too?

because it's his account too. basically we are sharing the same account.

trying to be sweet?

nahhhhhh.

more to, both of us are too lazy to have our own account.

you should know us better.

laziness level 99 achieved!

P/S : one day, Mimin came home from school and phoned me,

"kakak,thank you. Mimin dapat nombor 3 dalam kelas.ibeliuuuuu"
*letak telefon*


ibeliu : i love you

Assalamualaikum

istiqamah

aku rasa entghi pasal A-levels tu dah sempat kot orang yg sepatutnya baca,

maka aku dah draftkan balik.

sungguh rasa tak selesa tak tau kenapa.

I'm always awkward liddis bebeh.

sebelum apa-apa,

salam rejab untuk semua.

istiqamah.

simple je sebenarnya perkataan tu, tapi astaghfirullahalazim,

nak buatnya, memang betul-betul mencabar.

iman manusia turun naik,

dan untuk beristiqamah tu pun turun naik.

acane istiqamah ni?

contoh yg paling simple la kan,

bila sorang tu dah buat keputusan nak berubah.

melangkah masuk balik ke jalan yg memang patut dilalui dari dulu lagi,

yg kiranya dari jalan yg bengkak-bengkok lepastu cuba nak masuk jalan lurus balik.

itu namanya berubah.

berubah tu senang.

macam tokmah selalu cakap

"kita ni, muka tak boleh ubah, tapi perangai tu boleh ubah.

nak ubah sepuluh kali sehari pun boleh.

terpulang kat kita nak ubah ke arah apa"

nampak tak di situ betapa senangnya "perubahan" ni?

tapi yg betul-betul buat kita berjihad,

jihad an-nafs seperti yg aku ada mention dekat entghi yg ini

jihad untuk beristiqamah.

jihad an-nafs,

melawan nafsu diri sendiri.

istiqamah ni tak senang, tak susah.

tanya diri sendiri je, sanggup ke tak buat.

ingat tak yg we live to please Him.

(Surah Yusof ' Ayat 87)

Ertinya:  Dan janganlah kamu berputus asa dari rahmat serta pertolongan Allah.  Sesungguhya tidak berputus asa dari rahmat  dan pertolongan Allah itu melainkan kaum yang kafir. 

masa usrah aku catit la macam mana nk kekal istiqamah,

insyaAllah diamalkan.

1. sentiasa mesra dengan Al-Quran.

-mesra di sini, tahu sekali maksud ayat-ayat dalam Quran.

sebab andai kita tahu apa yg ditulis dalam potongan ayat al-Quran tersebut,

kita akan rasa macam Allah sungguh berinteraksi dengan kita.

kalau masa sedih ke tak tenteram ke apa,

macam ada ayat "pemujuk" yg ditulis oleh Dia untuk dengan bahasa tak langsungnya,

pujuk hati kita.

pujuk yg everything will be just fine.

2. sentiasa berdoa dekat Allah supaya diteguhkan keimanan.sentiasa diberi hidayah dan petunjuk.

-doa tu senjata kita. itu satu-satunya yg bezakan kita dengan yg lain.

tokmah selalu sangatttt pesan.

"jangan sombong. apa pun mintak dekat Dia. dekat sapa lagi kita nk mengadu, nak memintak"

3. mendekati orang-orang yg berilmu, para ulama, dan yg boleh memberi tunjuk ajar

- bila kita nk berubah, Allah kurniakan orang keliling yg boleh bantu kita untuk berubah.

been there before.

dan aku sangat yakin dengan apa yg diperkatakan ni.

bukan nak cakap tinggalkan semua yg pernah ada masa lampau tu terus.

macam

"yo fwens, I'm dumping all of you because all of you are good for nothingggg.chow"

no no no no no.

bukan macam tu, baik buruk diorang pun, diorang tetap diorang,

diorang tetap yg pernah ada dalam hidup hampa lama dulu.

cuma, perlu pandai, jangan terpengaruh.

dan kawan yg baik akan respek apa saja keputusan baik yg korang nak buat untuk diri korang.

bukan yang

"hekeleh dia dulu gangster segala tahap. tetiba nak berubah. amenda doh?"

itu.bukan.kawan.yg.baik.

sila pergi dengan senang hati.

4. sentiasa mengingati mati.

- one simple question yg buat aku terdiam sangat bila ditanya masa usrah haritu

"andai kata sekejap je lagi, nyawa kamu ditarik, ke mana kamu pergi?

ada tak amalan kamu yg buat kamu yakin kamu akan terima buku amalan kamu guna tangan kanan?"

enough said.

tepuk dada, tanya iman.

cukup empat je kot untuk kali ni?

sebab empat tu pun insyaAllah boleh bantu.

tapi pelissssssss,

jangan lepas hang buat keputusan nak berubah,

lepas hang dh berjaya alhamdulillah istiqamah sedikit demi sedikit,

tolong JANGAN pandang orang lain macam

"tak dapat hidayah lagi?"

geddit?

sebab hidayah tu milik Dia,

kalau Dia nak tarik, bila-bila masa Dia tarik.

dan ingatkan balik hati tu, 

we've been there before,we know how hard it was to change.

we don't like people judging us,

we think that they don't have the right to judge,

so what right do we have to judge people.

benda yg kita taknak orang buat dekat kita,

jangan buat.

P/S : ini sebenarnya lebih kepada nasihat untuk diri sendiri.

sebab macam hampa,

aku pun masih berusaha keras untuk istiqamah.

sama-sama kita yuk?

apa yg baik tu datang dari Allah, yg buruk tu atas kelemahan diri sendiri.
