41°01′N 28°58′E (Planning)

Alhamdulillah,.

Baru setel 60% plan untuk ke Istanbul dan semuanya agak positif. Generally camnih la plan ak:

Istanbul Ataturk Airport-->Hotel Birbey--> Tempat-tempat sekitarnya

Kemudahan pengangkutan pula selalunya trem dan Metro Train. Dari airport ke Hotel, amik metro( HAVALIMANI--->AKSARAY METRO STATION). Kalau nak bersiar-siar kawasan sekitar(yang dekat2), most probably guna trem la. Tapi kalau dilihat pada google map, tempat2 menarik kat istanbul ni agak dekat2. So, aku prefer jalan kaki, baru feel.

 Anyway semua plan nih bergantung gak samada ak boleh dapat visa turkey atau tak. Menurut daripada apa yang ak baca kat forum2  danTurkey punya Ministry of Foreign Affairs Website, 'sticker visa' boleh dibeli dan dikeluarkan on the spot kat airport. Dalam 10 minit boleh dapat. Kena bayaran atau x aku x pasti, sebab ada source kata kena, ada kata x. So, tunggu sana ja. X silap dalam 20 CAD ja cost visa tuh.

Map bawah ni la tempat aku plan nak pegi buat masa nih:


View Larger Map

So, lepas ni aku akan research sikit tempat2 makan yang murah dan best. Primary source aku, mestilah pak cik Anthony Bourdain. Plus, kena gak ushar2 tiket untuk masuk muzium, e.t.c. Then, kena baca sikit pasal sejarah Istanbul. Aku pegi sehari ja, so kalau nak maximize betul2 vacation, kena la study skit background tempat nih. 

Anyway, this time, kind of sedih la. Travel sorang2. Pastu tiket plak one way. Harap, dapat la tenangkan sikit hati ni, selepas ribut sana-sini. Mesti sunyi dowh travel sorang2,. xleh nak gelak2, nak kutuk2 and kacau2 member. Dang,..

Reminiscing SBP, 6:151

Salam to all,

Dalam dok jengok facebook, tetiba terserempak dengan satu artikel blog mengenai kematian pelajar RMC: http://nazrinafifinasruddin.blogspot.com/2010/06/rmc-boy-dies.html

Dan bila terbaca artikel nih, memang aku teringat zaman sekolah menengah aku dulu. Memang ada ragging, kes2 terpencil pelajar gaduh, form 4 nak ganyang for 5, seniority, etc.,. benda normal la, ni la politik budak hostel. Ada jugak politik dan tradisi yang baik.  Bagi yang tak pernah study kat SBP, mungkin akan rasa janggal dan ridiculous dengan prkara2 sampah macam nih. Its ok, tak salah pun nak rasa macam tuh. Tapi, tak semua sekolah SBP camtuh. Setiap sekolah ada la politik masing2. MCKK, RMC, STAR, SDAR adalah sekolah semua pelajar lelaki, punyai tradisi tersendiri, politik tersendiri. SMAP LABU, SMAP KAJANG, KISAS dengan politiknya. SAINA, SEJIWA, SAINS KUCING ada politiknya juga. Sekolah harian pun ada politiknya, cuma kurang la sikit kot, sebab life pelajar sek harian generally tamat lepas sesi pembelajaran dalam kelas. Dunia mereka lebih terbuka. Politik mereka lebih terdedah. Ada banyak pilihan untuk mengelak politik yang tak diingini. Komuniti mereka luas, interaksi dengan masyarakat tidak terbatas. Got the idea? Bila aku sebut perkataan tradisi, please open ur mind. I'm not talking about tradition=ragging. Please, blow ur head if that is wat u think. I'm talking about something beyond that la.,

Aku pernah la juga kena sepak penerajang, side kick, flying kick, double punch, lebam-lebam badan. Tapi tu masa aku masuk sparring tournament la. Kalau dah pakai body pad pun senak kena penerajang, boleh imagine la kalau tak pakai apa2. Itupun kena penerajang dengan budak sama berat dengan aku. Masa aku form four kot, kalau nak sound or ragging budak, kena play safe. No body contact. Jentik pun jangan. Sebab time tuh, gempar satu Malaysia, sebab ada kes buli dan pelajar nak belasah cikgu kat sekolah 'elite' SBP. KPM tegas dengan kes macam ni, dan xnak berulang. Sayang seribu kali sayang, hari ini, ia masih berlaku. 

Secara peribadi ni recommendation ak:
1)Kalau nak hantar anak masuk boarding school(SBP,MRSM,Pivate) better after dorang 15. Lepas PMR. Kasi matang dan ada jati diri. Usah biarkan politik hampeh hostel bunuh creativity dan potensi anak anda.
2)Kalau nak hantar masa UPSR gak, kena sensitif dengan si anak tuh. Lawat dia kerap, tanya masalah dia, call cikgu kelas dia, identify any freaking changes in him/her. Jangan sesekali lepas tangan. 
3) Kalau nampak perubahan lain macam kat anak tuh, angkut ja keluar dari abroad school. Kasi treatment apa yang patut.

Di penghujung penulisan nih, aku embrace dengan philosophy sesetengah sekolah yang nak lahirkan pelajar kental, keras, tough, versatile dan jantan habis. Tapi, jangan lupa untuk lahirkan pelajar yang ada sifat penyayang, belas kasihan, rational dan berhati perut jantung. Bak kata pujangga: "muka nampak ganaz, tapi dalam hati ada taman". Jadi, aku mengutuk sekeras-kerasnya kes pembunuhan adik Naim dan politik mudharat nih. Hapuskan segera budaya ni. Bukan hanya pelajar bersalah perlu di hukum, pentadbiran juga perlu disiasat atas kecuaian dan sifat lepas tangan mereka serta dihukum jika didapati bersalah. 

Akhir kata, takziah aku ucapkan kepada keluarga Mohammad Naim Mustaqim Mohamad Sobri. Semoga roh adik Naim tenang di sana. Semoga keluarganya tabah. Berat mata memandang, berat lagi bahu memikul. Hidup mesti terus. Semoga si pembunuh tu bertaubat dan buat sesuatu untuk meringankan beban keluarga si mati. 
Rest in peace bro,.may Allah forgive u,. http://www.emocutez.com

 Al-An’am ayat 151:
“Dan jangan kamu membunuh jiwa yang diharamkan oleh Allah (untuk membunuhnya) kecuali apabila berhak (membunuhnya)..”

p/s: 'politik' dalam post nih, bukan hanya dibentuk oleh interaksi pelajar. Unsur2 lain dari 'school administrative' dalam bentuk undang-undang juga adalah faktor yang membentuk dunia dan politik ini.

-Gua baru beli tiket balik Malaysia. This time, one way. From Toronto-->Istabul-->K.L. Ada sedikit masa nak lepak kat Istanbul. 
-Due tu money constraint, i wont't travel far for that city. My first target is the Blue Mosque. According to some reliable sources, its gonna take around 48 minutes to get there from the airport.
-Jalan2 near the seashore and the town, would be a bonus. I wish i have a friend in turkey, coz things would be easier with a tourist guide. I really hope people in Istanbul can speak English.  
-Actually, I need to do more research on the available transport. I prefer bus or train. Gonna do it after exam. Gonna write more after the exam on 21st June. Its prog. , the paper that i failed almost a year ago.

Adios amigos.

-I just received an e-mail from Mara, mentioning that, they stick to their previous decision to terminate my scholarship after the second appeal made by me.

-It's not the shittiest day of my life coz i'm kinda getting used to this feeling since few months ago.

-This year, should be the best year for me to celebrate Hari Raya. I've made some improvement in my second year, in term of academic, and I've got the offer to do internship at Petronas Fertilizer, Gurun. But, the sponsorship termination really bring me down(literally), together with the achievement i've made.

-I don't really understsand why it's so easy for them to make such decision. I really mean it. I've been sponsored by them for almost 4 years since in KMB. I've shown them my capability to recover from 1st year agony, on paper. I do understand, CGPA is very important. But I don't think it's everything. 

-Mara have done their best to help me. Giving me opportunities to study in oversea(even for a while). To see and touch the world.  I really appreciate their kindness. I deserve this punishment for my past ignorant and stupidity. 

-The most important thing is for me to learn the past and keep moving on. But like a fresh deep wound, its really hurt. It need some stitches to speed up the recovery process. When recovered, there would be a scar. Ahh,.. i need time,. gimme time friends.

Adios amigos. Grasias.http://www.emocutez.com

Reminder to me,..

Sahih International
Fighting has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not.[2:216]
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
Prescribed for you, obligatory [for you], is fighting, disbelievers, though it be hateful to you, by nature, because of the hardship involved. Yet it may happen that you hate a thing which is good for you; and it may happen that you love a thing which is bad for you: because the soul inclines towards those desires which result in its destruction and its rejection of the religious obligations that would bring about its happiness. Perhaps, then, even if you are averse to it, you will find much good in fighting, as a result of victory, booty, martyrdom or reward; while, if you were to reject fighting, even if you would like to do so, you will find much evil, because then you may be subjugated, impoverished and denied the reward; God knows, what is good for you, and you know, this, not, so strive in what He commands you.

Muslim version facebook?

Yup, the interface look similar to facebook. have a look here.

Below is the description about the social web:

Millatfacebook is Ummah’s very own, first social networking site. The objective is to provide a platform for all Muslims and nice, decent and sophisticated people of all religions and faiths, to come together and make a network. They should interact in a way that is socially responsible by providing them all the freedom of expression, however respecting each others’ sentiments, sensitivities and beliefs. 

Wanna read more? Click here
From wiki, click here

This application was launched on May, 2010. Still new. Surely, there are few complaints about the registration process. Give em time.  Hopefully this application would be an alternative for a wiser nation. Lets stop the facebook monopoly. Show em, what does it mean by freedom of speech.

I haven't register yet and i dont think i'm gonna do it in at this moment. No longer interested in social network application. Enjoy the new social network application!!!
