What's happening ..... ?

My son , Amin came home from school last friday evening looking very upset. He looked like he was about to cry as he pushed his bike. True enough, the second I asked him how was school, he shed a tear. He was beaten up by three form 2 boys. I was shocked.... Beaten up? On his 8th day of school? What surprised me more was that the boy who started the whole thing, kicked him from behind when he was on his way to perform his 'Asar prayer. He was surprised, so he turned & kicked the boy back. The boy then punched his face & when he wanted to punch the boy back, the other form 1 boys stopped Amin from doing so & adviced him to inform the teacher. He then went to look for a teacher & little did he know that the bully followed him with two of his buddies and punch his neck & head from the back. Again Amin was hit & the boys fled. Amin didn't even know the boys. He had never seen or met the boys before that Friday. He told his form teacher but she didn't do anything as Amin didn't know the boys' names. The teacher, instead of actually doing something about it, told Amin to inform her the next time Amin sees the boys. What....? I was upset when Amin told me this. To me, as a teacher, she should've acted on it immeadiately. I guess she assumed it was nothing. Assumptions..... Amin had a very bad headache that night and his head was a bit swollen. My husband lodge a report & went to school today to see the Principal. The boy was identified by Amin, a malay boy, & got his punishment. The sad part was, when asked why did he beat Amin? He answered "no particular reason, my friends asked me to". What is happening to our younger generation? Beating up people for fun?

Last Saturday while I was picking up my daughter from school, I saw few malay boys in school uniform smoking right in front of the school gate. Again, i pose the question.... What is happening to our people? I see the malay teens being swept away by what may seem like 'THE' 'in thing'. Smoking, doing drugs, making out, the girls dressed in short skirts, and some even wearing hot pants, some even look like as if they are not wearing anything, only covering the necessary 'parts'. Sad to see.... They are malays...Islam. What is happening actually? Scary is it not...?

New year

Salam. I think it's not too late for me to wish everyone 'happy new year!'. It's already approaching to the third week of January. My youngest daughter, aina, is in standard 1 this year. She was very excited when i took her to her orientation day on the 31st of dec '11. It was me who was a bit emotional. I felt, and still feeling it now, that my daughter is growing up too fast. Not just aina, the other three too. My second son Amin, is already in form 1. On his first day of school i almost shed a tear.... He's all grown up. He's now a young man who is almost as tall as me and he has pimples too... My third son, Safwan is now in std 4 but we still call him 'adik'. He's a bit more sensitive now. I guess it's part of growing up, but he's still chubby and still has his babyface, and he's still manja to a certain extent. My eldest, Amirah, is now in form 2 & she's more cautious of her appearance. She can fit my shoes now. A young lady indeed. It does make me feel rather old.... Oppss... Old is not the right word i believe... It makes me feel more matured ;)

No matter how 'grown up' they get, they will always be my babies who would always make me feel at peace. Children are indeed the greatest gift from Allah swt. Alhamdulillah, thank you Allah for this wonderful gift.

Things People Do

Things people do
when they in love
their love story
just as perfect as Romeo & Juliet

things people do
when they are in trouble
the hospital is now full
with sick and tense people

things people do
when they are in traffic jam
the only perfect music played
is just a honk song

and yet after all
people just have to face it
and make it right

Poems by group I (Azlyn, Hafizah & Norayuni)

Things people Do

Nowadays, people want to do a lot of things
Technology change human behaviour
everyone come out with brilliant ideas
to improve their lives

Kids...
so many things to do
from kindergarten to playgrounds
always...have curious about something
their acts always make we laugh...hahaha

teenagers?
stage which consists of a lot of challenges
always want to try something new
social problems are familiar with them
but, not all teeangers like that

adult?
they think more about responsibilities
care about family
like they care about themselves
give 100% commitment to their work and career
try to be a good listener as a friend


Now & Then

Ice cream soda, pepsi cola
the silly little songs we jumped to those days
now all i can see
are kids playing around
on their ipads and iphones

love letters on scented papers
i love you, you love me
hehehe
now replaced by *ping* from BBM messages

books and paper
away with you
now the trees weep with joy
as power point become a teaching tool

now and then
past and present
things are different
moving forward ever changing
nothing is static

Poem by group F (syafeeqa, rahimah & amalina)

Things People Do

Social, bullying, independent thinker, depression
huh.. normally we are getting bored to hear
about the bad issues according to teenagers

smoking??? teenagers included...
why should this happen
lack of education and moral maybe
influencing by people of surronding

we should follow the right on what people do
positive attitude
that's the best way of real life

students' poems part 3

Poems by group D (afiq, asyraf, nasarudin)

Things People Do

Why are some people cruel and rude?
So mean and crude
They walk all over others
And why? I ask

Why have they grown so heartless?
Why are they bitter and cold?
What reason do they have to do that?
It is because they've never been told?
Maybe someone should tell them
That no one truly likes their action

Why do some people act
As if they've so much better that others?
They are no different than anyone else
Not a bit different at all
God made them with some mold
He saw the same love within everyone one of them
He made each and every person with equality

So when will they realize what they're doing?
That their life has gone all wrong?
That instead of living a good, nice life
They're off by miles long
Maybe someday they'll see
That they are no better than you or me


Now & Then

Now… we are happy
But then… can we still be happy?
Now… we may be rich of money
But then… can the money give us happiness?
Now… we enjoy the life
But then… what kind of life should we enjoy with?
Now… we have efforts to do anything
But then… we don’t know are we still strong to do it?
Now… we can laugh loudly…
Hahahaha
But then…. Where should we put our tears?
Now… we can eat as much as we want
But then… should we keep continue to do it?
Now and then it just the matter of time
The time cannot be changed
But the one who should change is YOU!!
What we want to do now?
What we want to do then?
All these things will keep questioning us unless…..
We stay with Him the One and Almighty Allah s.w.t.
Now, then and forever
We will find the way

Poems by group C (aisyah, syairah & suhailah)

Things People Do

I wake up in the morning
I brush my teeth
I take a shower
I wear clothes
I ride the bus
Pit pit pit
Rapid card
I go to class
Study study study
Back to college
Eat eat eat
Sleep sleep sleep

Now & Then

When I was young
It's seem the light was wonderful
Miracle, beautiful and magical
My mom teach me
It's like this
It's like that
I got know
I got your love

Now
I know how to be sensible
Logical, responsible and practical
And I know when you show me
A road that I can be
Intellectual, cynical and fluctual

Then
When you were leaving me alone
Leaving me to live half alive
Deep took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back
The light in my eyes

I really miss
The first time you teach me
Cause you will never let me go astray

Mom
Even now and then
I will always put you
Deep in my heart and soul
Forever
Lot's love to you Mom
