Better late than never know your talent

When I was a kid, soccer or football was surely an old-time game that I enjoyed so much. I mean, there's not so much options left to play as a kid with your peers though and in a bigger group. Soccer was always the uniting medium.

You can't play 'baling selipar', zero-point, hide and seek, badminton (coz I never had a racquet till I bought it with my own saved money when I was 14) or 'Jadi jadi'. I mean yah you can play them to kill your every evening with your sisters, brothers and the neighboring kids. But if we talk about a GAME, a proper sport, then soccer it was.

When I was 9, during the PE session my teacher asked us to kick the ball and he was the goalkeeper. Most of my friends kicked the ball trying to score as hard as they could. At that time we were like "pergh..terrer nya Cikgu Mokhtar jadi Keeper". Then Cikgu rolled the ball to me and asked me to try. I was getting ready, but then I smirked and said "eh taknak la" and asked my other friend to kick instead. I was malu. And I was not selected as a school player for sure.

When I competed in a 200M running, I didn't really know the spirit of 'competition' and I just ran as I like and even laughing when I looked at my friend on the last lane jumping here and there ouch ouch because the lane had a 'semalu'. Hahaha. And of course, I didn't win the race.

I only got to grasp the real meaning of competition when I entered my 15th year. And slowly I tried to become better in everything I do. I tried to play badminton as best as I could, I learn how to 'lipat gulung' so I could be the school representative and I made it. Years later when I played one evening with an old friend that hadn't see me for 3 years, he was saying "aku dengar ko terrer takraw skang" and he was shocked on how I could 'lipat' the ball. Well I guess he should be shocked because the old me was so aloof tak bertempat and it limited my talent to be polished as it should.


Hahaha..I suddenly wanna talk about this because last night while looking at Xiyad moving his hands and legs tak reti nak diam, zass here and there, I chatted with him on what he gonna play when he grow up?

"Nak main bola sepak ke? Senang ngat bergaduh bola sepak ni, tu ayah tak baper minat tu"

And I talked to him about how I got my very first soccer shoe which costs RM8.50 made by kain, so when you played in the field, even embun pn can make your shoes so wet. And as far as I recalled, my parents didn't buy that for me. I think a friend of mine sedekah to me because he had a new shoes.

Hehehe. Sport is a really great medium to be discipline to know how to be passionate, to be ambitious and you got lots and lots of friends in the process.

Ikat bini kamu, anak perempuan kamu pada tiang yang paling kukuh!!!

Received a parcel when I was at my parents' house. A small book of the detail translation of surah Al-Kahfi. Thanks to PPZ (Pusat Pungutan Zakat) for the yearly gift. And a beneficial one of course. My math teacher once told us before she started our math class about how the first ten verse could save you from Dajal's lure and seduction. Akan tiba waktu Dajal bermaharajalela di penghujung dunia menawarkan segala macam kemewahan dan kehendak yang sukar untuk ditolak. Dan bilamana kita tunduk pada hebatnya Dajal memenuhi permintaan kita, maka neraka lah jawabnya. Maka ikatlah anak-anak perempuan kamu, isteri dan ibu kamu di tiang yang paling utuh dan kuat dalam rumah kamu dengan kemas kerana apabila Dajal menghentakkan kakinya ke bumi, seluruh kaum wanita akan berlari-lari mendapatkan Dajal meninggalkan segala-galanya. Akan dicampak anak yang sedang didokong, suami mereka untuk Dajal. Meraung2 lah mereka diikat pada tiang. Tapi jangan pula kamu kasihankan mereka dan membuka ika

Zikir Imam Shafie sesat? Zikir tolak syurga?

Assalamualaikum.. On the way balik dari Sabak Bernam ke Bangi hati terasa melompat2 nak tulis pasal entri ni. First and foremost, aku nk tekankan di sini kenapa aku berani nak ulas pasal benda ni? Pasal hukum, zikir dan kesesatan ni padahal aku mungkin xlayak, bukan ustaz dan sebagainya. Sebabnya cuma satu, zikir ini dilabel sesat oleh sekumpulan ustaz ni tanpa ada dalil, nas alquran atau kesepakatan ulamak. Dan kesesatan yang dilabel oleh mereka hanya disebabkan pentafsiran perkataan yang digunakan dalam zikir ni. Jadi kalau setakat pasal literasi perkataan, aku pun layak. Apa pun baca dulu lah ye. Zikir Imam Shafie yang dilabel sesat baru2 ni ialah zikir yg femes korang dengar dr kecik " Ilahi lastu lilfirdausi ahla.. wala aqwa alan naril jahim.. Allah Fahab li taubatau waghfir zunubi... Fainna tagho firuzzambil azimmmm " -maafla tak jumpa arab version nye- Bawah ni terjemahannya; Oh Tuhanku aku tidak layak untuk syurgaMu. Tetapi aku tidak pula sanggup menga
