Moving Life

Death is always near
If we do realise
With a silence thought
It is not far

Death waits for nobody
It will strike anytime
If the call has come
For you to leave the world

Death does not concern
Either you are young or old
Life is indeed short
If we realise it

Ya Allah, guides me
To treasure my life
Ya Allah, leads me
To the blessing path

Life has to move on even when you are down with pain and disappointment. Failures have been part of my life and I realise one thing, to achieve happiness, it needs sacrifications and obstacles to overcome before you could taste the sweetness.

Ya Allah, your guidance has brighten my heart and mind. I am grateful to you. You know what difficulties i had gone through. Those tears i cried, those pains i suffered, i accepted with open heart. I knew those were tests from You. (",) I pray may future tests are not beyond my limit, amin.

Moving Thought

Either I should laugh or not
Either I should smile or not
Either I should cry or not
I completely don't know

It is too late to realise now
Sacrifications do not guarantee happiness
Whenever old history knocks my head
It will shatter my heart

Too much pain and tears
Too much sorrow and agony
Embedded in the old history
Which seems impossible to erase

Ya Allah, please help me
My strength has breakdown
Only You can save me
From this friendship that full of illusion

Journal 5

Assalamualaikum (",)

Alhamdulillah, with Allah's blessings, I am able to continue to write my blog. Okay, let's me record down what had happened in my life for the past few weeks...

School Life

• My exam is from 18th October to 22th October 2004. 5 days straight without a break in between.
• My study break is from 11th October to 15th October 2004. Yeah, break! But Study! Hehehz
• After the last paper which falls on 22th October, I will be away for one and a half month. The school would send me for Industrial Training Programme. It is basically a job attachment. The company which the school would send me is American Academic Alliance.. hmmm... well, I will head to America! Yahooz...(In my Dream yah!)
• My cucom project is selected for school filming and my members selected me as their leader. Well gals, insya Allah, I will do my job very well. "Ya Allah, please guide me". The school producer, Mr Jack Shuo, is a humorous and fun guy but serious when comes into business... All praises to Allah, for giving us this opportunity in gaining experience in filming. I have no experience so do my members. There will be a role play and presentation as well. Pressure? Come on Aidah! Be Postive! ;)
• Alhamdulillah, my ecommerce project has settled at last except for burning. Tomorrow will be the last day for school before study break

Volunteer at Mosque

• Alhamdulillah, Ramadhan month is coming. I am in charge in handling a small project on gathering information about the holy month and put up all the research on the notice board under Youth Wing. Pretty touch and challenging. " La haula wa la Quwaata Illa Billahil 'Ali 'Azhim"
• I would give my best and whatever i do is for Allah ;)

And this time around, it is not a poem but a journal which i wrote when i signed up for Social Psychology Class.This Journal was marked by my Tutor. All Praises To Allah, I received good remarks from her.

My Thoughts About Introduction To Social Psychology

I used to ponder stuff such as why those football hooligans behave in uncivilized manner when their countries lost? Why those girls or boys can be greatly influenced by their idols? Why some people are so unpredictable? These are the reasons that lead to the growth of my interest in learning social psychology.

My friend did ask me to consider of taking up business etiquette. I told her, I wanted to pursue something that I am had been longing to learn for. In addition, I had learnt business etiquette before.

My first thought of Introduction to social psychology is how to understand people’s behaviors. The first lesson that I had attended, however, added something to my earlier thought on psychology. It is about interacting, observing and understanding on human beings behaviors. In other words, learn to comprehend on why human beings behaving or thinking in a certain manner. It is interesting to find out those researches that had been discovered in finding out the reasons why human behaves in a particular manner.

In the first lesson, we were taught the basic foundation of the psychology. For an example, Social Psychology is defined as the scientific study of the way in which people’s thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by the real or imagined presence of other people. (Allport 1985, quoted in Aronson, 2002) From the definition given, it already gave me a clear idea about social psychology world. In the second lesson, we were taught about Social Cognition and Social Perception. There were a lot of theories involved and I found them to be very interesting in identifying and classifying human behaviors. It was hard at first to absorb but as examples were given, I am able to catch up.

In overall view, social psychology does help me in becoming more conscious about the environment around me and also answering those questions that I had been wondering about. I found it to be a very useful tool in interacting with humans and especially with my parents, other cultural groups and old people. It does help me in having positive thinking in reacting to a situation, which might appear unpleasant.

Being able to understand a human and not judging them here and there with own perceptions, would be most likely to be one of the keys towards building healthy and positive relationships with family, teachers, friends, colleagues and anyone on this planet.
