Do you think that you are mature enough??

2006-04-29T20:34:00.000+10:00

By definition, mature means when a person behaving in a sensible way like adult in sense of differentiate between good or bad, right or wrong. Initially, sense of maturity differs in each individual, some say it comes with gender or age while others highlight on how a person being brought up. From these arguments, let us review ourselves do we think we are mature enough or do we just pretend to look adult? Eventually, I came across to this framework called “Traits of Mature, Self-Actualizing Person”, and it didn’t took me that long to apply this concept.

However, as I went along with the article, I found that learning about human expression or development wasn’t as easy as I thought. Self-Actualizing is only part of the main element of being sensible adult. A person relatively exposes to self-insight and level of maturity also base on your self-knowing, basically how far do you know about yourself, your feeling, your action: especially those spontaneous.

The article mentioned the effect of “inner child” that may influence the character and mind set of an individual. Any child from dysfunction family would suffer a tremendous pressure and the built in behaviour would starts to pattern the perception towards it social interaction. Even in Islam, we regards a child as a clean, pure, white cloth that comes under responsible to his/her closest relatives to protect and educate and also brings the best of it.

As from my other readings, I discovered that family influence holds an important in child development. For instance, based on Sir Richard Branson autobiography, it shows that he had to learn things in a hard way although all these events were guided closely by his parents. Same goes with David Beckham, (my favourite personality) he was encourage by his family to excel in his interest which is in soccer from young, and he did superbly (even though I must say he is not that really good if its compare with other Latin player).. sorry lad.

I remembered how strict my dad was to me when I was young. Even, sometimes I wished to live with other kind of family that has more interaction rather than military method “follow instruction” family. No television during weekdays and strict hours during weekends, no jeans or t shirt, my handwriting must be perfect, I have to address properly in public and even get scold only for not make my bed properly. At that point, I felt like I am going to commit suicide, these rules and regulation only suite for royalty, not me.

But as times went on, I realized these things are important for me, in sense of putting me as a better person. Any parents would react or treat their child in these manners, therefore his/her needs to learn in a very hard way in order to face the challenge awaits them as they grow. Its funny to actually being called “mummy’s boy”, a tag with purpose to make me feel immature but eventually what I can say now is “syurga terletak di tapak kaki ibu”, its reflect back to the individual by compare to his/her situation. Responsibility comes with maturity, same goes with leadership and in a platoon, if each unit doesn’t follow his role, and the only letter they will write is their testament.

As far as I can say, level of maturity doesn’t rely on age, however, mostly it is how far do you know about yourself, best known as self-knowing. Sad to say some people haven’t reached this stage even by the age of 30. Age doesn't matter, experience is..

Good luck of getting to know about yourself and remember don’t always judge book by its cover.. You can never really know about a person.

On no soul do We place a burden greater than it can bear: before Us is a record which clearly shows the truth: they will never be wronged. But their hearts are in confused ignorance of this and there are, besides that, deeds of theirs, which they will (continue) to do..

Minggu ni akan masuk minggu ketiga, teaching week dan seperti biasa segala tugasan serta major project dah mula kena susun. I must say that, this semester brings with different kind of emotion; seronok, sedih, lega dan rindu..

1. Seronok: tgk kengkawan berjaya, mana dah grad balik dapat kerja dan dah mula utk establish themselves. Kengkawan baru pun best gak; Gie, Mat Rock, Ayip (setelah sekian lama baru dapat pronounce dgn btl) yang menceriakan Brisbane. Takkan ku lupa kengkawan yang sedia ada seperti Ranap, Anas + Amar, Pinto, West Enders dan lain2 yang sedia membantu dan buat havoc. Lagi satu, dah ada team golf.. thanks to Man.. our Tiger Woods.

2. Sedih: Pikir2 balik, this will be my last semester, I'm gonna miss all this moment here in Brisbane. Few things I did bring with me few memories from Malaysia.. kindda stuck with it.

3. Lega: tak payah nak menghadapi peperiksaan eventhough at times, I feel lucky to be given the opportunity to test myself in terms of discipline and diligence. Tapi benda ni masa dah prepare betul2la.

4. Rindu: Kisah lama.. senyuman Suraya (my niece.. always make me laugh).. muka2 lama Brisbane

Apa2 pun benda2 ni pun bukan masalah korang, tak payahla risau.. but then if you willing to give opinion, just drop any comment.. nak call mahal.

Take care, and all the best for the new semester..

Erti perubahan..

2006-01-19T14:27:00.000+10:00

Berubah adalah satu proses pemahaman seseorang dalam menyesuaikan diri mereka kepada sesuatu keadaan. Ada pendapat mengatakan bahawa "tabiat manusia hanya dapat dibentuk ketika berada dibawah usia 10 tahun dan proses perubahan akan tertakluk kepada ideologi yang disemai pd tempoh tersebut". Boleh dikatakan, keinginan anak kecil akan dibawa pada sepjg tempoh jangka hayatnya cuma skalanya akan berubah. Jika seseorang anak perempuan suka bermain anak patung, mendodoikannya.. dewasa kelak, dia cenderung utk buka tadika atau paling kurang pun sayangnya pd anaknya amat tinggi. Fokus dan kecenderungan yang tersimpan dalam jatidiri setiap individu ini mulanya berputik hingga berbuah apabila umur meningkat, seperti benih timun akan menghasilkan timun juga, bukan cili mahupun bendi..

Persekitaran juga memainkan peranan penting dalam mengubah pemikiran pada setiap individu. Mutasi dari faktor ini hanya dapat dikurangkan bergantung kepada kekuatan dalaman (internal strength) seseorang seperti will-power, ataupun kekukuhan iman dalam konteks agama. Kekuatan ini berbeza pada setiap individu, mungkin sesetengah gagah dalam pengaruh rakan tetapi tewas dalam pertarungan emosi.. sukar dijangka atau disukat sehinggalah ujian demi ujian diterima.

Setiap perubahan akan membawa impak yang baik dan buruk.. cuma kesediaan dalam menghadapi dan keadaan pd tempoh kejadian dapat menentukan hala tuju seseorg. Sehina mana atau semurni mana seseorang, kemuliaannya hanya terletak dalam hati. Jangan kita mudah dikaburi dengan perangai luaran kerana isi hati itu sukar dibaca dan difahami.

Back at Home

2006-01-04T13:38:00.000+10:00

"Finally, I'm back".. that was the first thing I'd said to myself the moment I saw KLIA buildings.. damn I really miss Malaysia, my family, friends and local FOOD. At the same time, I had kindda jitters emotion erupted inside me to think I have to face some of the things that I had left before.. Life goes on.. that's what I always said to myself.

Given to me lots of confidence by all my friends, it gave me a good feelings of having all the joy and laughter that I had missed before. At the same time, I won't spoiled their effort and support just becoz of one particular person.. a person that used to give the definition of love to me. Yet, this fake love finally appear in true color..

Thank you, guys and I will treasure our friendship as long as I can.. God bless you.

SSEAYP Sets to Sail Again..

2005-10-18T06:02:00.000+10:00

It has already been 2 years, when my name bears under MaPy 26.. which is the identity I'd used during the youth exchange program. During these 2 months, I managed to enhance my knowledge not only in ASEAN countries but definitely towards my own beloved country. It shows me the very own value how fortunate I am to be called Malaysian no matter how outstandings the other countries stand. Moreover, it also gave me the opportunities to expand my networks from Thailand to Phillipines.. Indonesia to Japan.. For Pys to share every wonderful moments, shoulder to shoulder, as we lets SSEAYP does it magic on creating the solidarity and bond among us - SSEAYP Family.

To all, SSEAYP 2005, I won't able to join u this year.. anyhow, I wanna wish all of you, best of luck and make us proud. To alumni SSEAYP, Selamat Hari Raya.. and "kerja elok-elok". Nak apply Liasion Officer boleh?

Take care.. Salamat.

Ramadhan 1425

2005-10-05T09:48:00.000+10:00

Ramadhan is here... This will be an ideal platform to test a person endurance and patience as an obedience follower. Above all, it is not only to consume any foods and drinks the whole day but a person need to control his/her temptation throughout the day.

For all my friends, I wish you all a meaningful Ramadhan and do take care...

Selagi Ada...

2005-08-31T10:10:00.000+10:00

Telah ku lakukan semuanya kasih
Telah ku korbankan segalanya
Namun ku sendiri tak pernah mengerti
Apa yang engkau fikirkan
Apa yang engkau inginkan

Ku tahu kau tak pernah setia (kasih)
Ku tahu diriku tak bererti
Namun ku sendiri tak pernah mengerti
Apa yang engkau fikirkan
Apa yang engkau inginkan

Selagi ada cinta di hatiku
Selagi ada rindu yang membara
Selagi air mata ini mengalir
Kau tetap di hati ini
Cintamu tetap di hati

Selagi ku mampu bertahan kekasih
Jangan sampai cinta tiada lagi
Jika memang cinta tiada lagi (kasih)
Tinggalkan aku sendiri...
Tinggalkan cintamu kasih...

Selagi ada cinta di hatiku
Selagi ada rindu yang membara
Selagi ku mampu bertahan kasih
Ku terima segalanya
Walau hatiku merana

2005-08-20T12:29:00.000+10:00

Tanggal 31, bulan 8, 57.. hari yang bahagia, hari mulia, kita sambut jiwaku merdeka..

That's how I feel about being Malaysian. Being far apart from my beloved country, it teaches me how to appreciate the harmony and good thing about Malaysia. It has been a long journey for me, dating back when I was having a sensational years in Malacca. I enjoyed the glory of true meaning of Malaysia whereas most people are just being sincere and honest to each other. Basically, for me, it's kindda hard to see these things in the city.. especially in Key Ell.

Anyhow, I'm glad that I have an Indian family, lots of Chinese friends and close tied with Malay community in Malacca.. I miss you all and by do means, I'll be back to visit "Mallucia" once I'm in Malaysia..

Let's the spirit comes alive and acknowledge people surrounds you.. Malaysia Boleh!!
