Your top three intelligences:

Score (5.0 is highest)

4.14
Self: You have a very good sense of self. You like to spend time by yourself and think things over. You will often take in information from another person, mull it over by yourself, and come back to that person later to discuss it. You like working on projects on your own. You often prefer to learn by trial and error. Effective techniques to enhance your learning include keeping a journal and giving yourself time to reflect on new ideas and information. More ideas:

Go on "guided imagery" tours.

Set aside time to reflect on new ideas and information.

Encourage journal writing.

Work on the computer.

Practice breathing for relaxation.

Use brainstorming methods before reading.

Listen to and read "how to" tapes and books.

Read cookbooks.


3.43
Musical: You like the rhythm and sound of language. You like poems, songs, and jingles. You enjoy humming or singing along with music. You probably remember things well when they are associated with music or rhythm. Try to incorporate sounds into your lessons, such as using a familiar tune, song, or rap beat to teach spelling rules, or to remember words in a series for a test. Here are some other ways to use your musical intelligence:

Create a poem with an emphasis on certain sounds for pronunciation.

Clap out or walk out the sounds of syllables.

Read together (choral reading) to work on fluency and intonation.

Read a story with great emotion — sad, then happy, then angry. Talk about what changes — is it only tone?

Work with words that sound like what they mean (onomatopoeia). For example: sizzle, cuckoo, smash.

Read lyrics to music.

Use music as background while reviewing and for helping to remember new material.

Use rhymes to remember spelling rules, i.e., "I before E except after C."

3
Language: You enjoy enjoy saying, hearing, and seeing words. You like telling stories. You are motivated by books, records, dramas, opportunities for writing. Effective techniques of enhancing your learning using your language intelligence include reading aloud, especially plays and poetry. Another idea is to write down reflections on what you've read. You may also enjoy exploring and developing your love of words, i.e., meanings of words, origin of words and idioms, names. Use different kinds of dictionaries. Other ideas:
Keep a journal

Use a tape recorder to tape stories and write them down

Read together, i.e., choral reading

Read a section, then explain what you've read

Read a piece with different emotional tones or viewpoints — one angry, one happy, etc.

Trade tall tales, attend story-telling events and workshops

Research your name

The scores for your other five intelligences:


2.71 Logic-Math

2.71 Nature (Naturalist)

2.57 Spatial

2.57 Social (Interpersonal)

1.86 Body Movement (Kinesthetic)

Just because these five are not in your top three doesn’t mean you’re not strong in them. If your average score for any intelligence is above three, you’re probably using that intelligence quite often to help you learn. Take a look at the Practice section to see how to engage all your intelligences.

Entri kali ini panjang sebab copy and paste. Hehe...

I like making multiple intelligences test. Sebab terasa macam seronok. Dan as usual, boleh teka apa yang the highest and lowest. Intrapersonal mesti paling tinggi, and music. Dan yang paling rendah mesti interpersonal and kinesthetic.

I am still me. Tapi language tu dah naik sikit berbanding maths. Oh......mesti sebab sekarang sudah minat membaca berbanding dulu. Your habit mempengaruhi diri anda!! Jadi kena habit baik jadi diri akan jadi baik.

Akidah II

Dalam sebulan dua ini, hidup aku rasa macam agak terkontang-kanting, macam tak berpegangan. Solat entah ke mana, kepala fikir merata-rata, kepala kusut, berserabut, kerja bertimbun terkejar-kejar nak buat itu ini; di mana aku?

Pernah aku baca disatu artikel, pada zaman akhir ini, manusia disibukkan dengan banyak perkara, sehingga kesempatan untuk menghadap Allah itu tiada. Tak sempat nak ingat Tuhan, kerja melampau sangat.

Dan aku lihat sekeliling; pada diri aku, mak abah, abang, saudara-mara. Benar sangat. Sekarang sudah jadi normal, seseorang pasti ada kerja sampingan sekurang-kurangnya satu. Semuanya sebab nak menampung kos kehidupan keluarga. Dan akibat yang jelas, Tuhan tak sempat nak ingat. Pernah aku buat kerja, sampai tak sempat nak solat dek mengejar deadline. Sampai begitu sekali.

Akidah

Tepuk dada, tanya iman, dimana dia?

Jepun: Apa Reaksi Yang Terjadi

Aku baru tahu, tentang reaksi segelitir masyarakat kita berkenaan tsunami yang baru saja melanda Jepun dalam dua tiga hari ini.

DISGUSTING!!!

Hinggakan dijadikan satu bahan lelucun oleh mereka yang tak punya hati perut.

Apakah, nilai manusia itu diremeh-remehkan kerana mereka kononnya bukan Melayu dan tidak beragama Islam?

Apakah, kita akan peduli dan bersedih bila rakyat negara kita terlibat, seperti prihatinnya kita dengan nasib pelajar kita di Mesir semasa tunjuk perasaan besar-besaran sebulan lepas?

Tak terfikirkah, betapa nyawa itu sesuatu yang bernilai?

Aku cuma takut, kita jadi seperti Firaun semasa sedang nazak ditenggalami Laut Merah. Bezanya kita tak mengaku jadi Tuhan, tapi masa sedang nyawa-nyawa ikan itu baru nak ingat Tuhan.

Na'udzubiLlah!

Recently......

I feel lost. Tapi sekarang terasa kesempitan itu dah berkurang sikit. Kurang dah rasa sesak dan serabut dengan jiwa.

Jiwa yang kering, yang lalai, hanya membuatkan kita semakin lupa. Bila di saat diri terasa 'jahat', itulah saat yang paling penting dan bertuah, sebab Allah beri ilham pada kita untuk berperasaan seperti itu. Dan seterusnya kena usaha untuk kembali semula kepada Dia.

What if Dia biarkan saja kita leka? Contohnya, sekeliling kita bukan tak ada orang yang nasihat-menasihati, bukan tak ada majlis ilmu, bukan tak ada orang yang soleh. Tapi kita masih lagi ditampuk lama. Tak ada perubahan. Tak ada perasaan nak melakukan perubahan. Ataupun terasa diri sudah terlalu jahat, tak guna nak buat baik dah.

Di saat itu kitalah yang paling rugi, sebab Allah macam dah 'lupa' pada kita. Tapi kan, kalau baca entri ni, maknanya Allah masih peduli pada kita. So, jom muhasabah diri.

Cuaca Kering

Oh, sangat kering dan menyakitkan. Bayangkan andai anda tidur sekejap untuk relax, kemudian bangun dengan hidung yang sakit kerana lembapan di dalamnya telah tersejat habis, dan begitu juga dengan badan anda. Kerehatan yang anda ingini, lemah pula yang anda dapat.

Cuaca yang panas memang bagus. Baju jadi kering, nak buat aktiviti luar mudah, nak berniaga pun insyaAllah lebih laris. Tapi bila rasa segala cecair badan dah disejat habis, boleh pengsan juga. Kalau kes yang lebih teruk, masuk hospital jugalah. Jadi kena banyak-banyak minum air masak. Nak ganti semula cecair yang telah hilang, kena kekalkan keseimbangan dalam badan. Elakkanlah daripada minum ais, dan juga air bergula. Sekali sekala boleh. Dan jangan ajar anak minum air sejuk dari peti sentiasa sampai tak boleh nak minum air masak biasa.

Nampak trivial kan? Trivial pun sebenarnya sangat penting. Lagi-lagi dalam cuaca macam ni.

Hati Yang Tersentuh

Bukan kisah cinta atau peristiwa menyayat hati. Aku cuma tersentuh bila membaca sebuah novel, yang tajuknya seperti berkenaan cinta, dan juga isinya tentang cinta, namun aku melihat di dalamnya ialah tentang bagaimana sebetulnya peribadi seseorang Muslim itu.

Juga tentang bagaimana hidayah Allah itu diberikan dengan cara yang tak disangka-sangka.

Juga betapa buruknya Islam di mata mereka yang bukan Islam dek perangai yang buruk, emosi yang keterlaluan, yang pastinya berpunca dengan kurangnya pemahaman Islam, juga sambil lewa dalam mempraktikkan apa yang disarankan Islam.

Bagaimanakah orang akan tertarik dengan agama yang pengikutnya bertindak sesuka hati dan mengikut amarah diri?

I Don't Know What The Title Should Be~~

Kita cenderung melihat di sudut-sudut tertentu yang kita sendiri punya kepentingan. Al Hasil, sering kali kita dapati dorongan memakan makanan sunah lebih hebat diuar-uarkan berbanding dengan mengajak melaksanakan sunah-sunah yang lebih besar dan afdal.

“Ayah, jika minum susu kambing kita boleh jadi baik. Ini minuman sunah.”

“Tapi jangan hanya ikut sunah minum susu kambing sahaja, ikut sunah yang lebih utama daripada itu, “ balas saya.

“Apa dia?”

“Bangun solat Subuh, tinggalkan perkara yang sia-sia.”

“Makan kismis ini yang didoakan ini bagus ayah. Fikiran kita jadi tajam. Ini juga makanan sunah.”

Anak-Anak Muda Yang Telah Pergi

Sebak aku rasa, bila baca berita tentang kemalangan di Genting Sempah tu. Aku selalu juga lalu sana, dan aku tahu bagaimana keadaan jalan di sana. Memang okay, tapi banyak selekoh dan berbukit bukau. Memang seperti jalan untuk menanti mangsa yang tidak bernasib baik.

Bila cerita tentang budak muda belasan tahun, aku terus teringat adik aku yang ke empat. Dia macam budak muda yang lainnya, suka motor, merayau-rayau, merokok, keluar malam-malam nak subuh baru balik, bangun lebih dari tengah hari. Dan itu seperti sesuatu yang normal bagi budak muda sebayanya.

Betapa sayangnya mereka-mereka ini yang begitu awalnya meninggalkan kita. Dan betapa sedih dan kecewanya hati ibu bapa, yang pada awalnya melepaskan anak-anak untuk berseronok dan melihat tempat orang, akhirnya dikhabarkan dengan berita kematian.

Coretan Sebelum Tidur

Hari ni, aku rasa macam sedikit kosong. Cepat berlalu. Sakit kepala yang sekejap datang, sekejap hilang, hati yang mudah terusik, perbualan dengan kenalan lama, terbunuh cicak secara tak sengaja; semuanya rasa macam agak menyiksa jiwa.

Aku nak risau tentang exam yang akan datang, betapa banyak lagi yang aku tak baca lagi dan aku tak tahu langsung berkenaan apa, tapi aku tak mampu nak risau. Entahlah, better just read through the book; make the notes later sebab masa sudah suntuk, tambah dengan batuk dan sakit kepala ni, tak mampu nak buat semuanya on time.

Beginilah, bila sakit datang dalam keadaan yang tak terduga, masa kesihatan itu amat diperlukan, untuk lulus exam, demi untuk masa depan. Just pray to Allah, semoga diberi kesihatan, ataupun kemudahan melalui masa sempit ini, sebab Allah yang beri semua ni, He wants us to come closer to Him and pray to Him, remember Him all the time; He knows the best for us. Dan sakit ini juga adalah penebusan dosa-dosa lampau yang tak terkira banyaknya. Be positive kan? Siapa tahu kalau-kalau aku sihat, aku terlalu berfoya-foya thus menambahkan lagi dosa yang sedia ada ataupun menjadikan aku seorang manusia yang berhidung tinggi kononnya mudah sangat subjek ni aku boleh buat pejam mata je?

Semoga kita selalu dalam perlindungannya. Orait, mari kita tidur dan berehat. Esok banyak lagi yang perlu dikejar.

Jangan Mengikut Macam Lembu

Aku tertarik dengan satu ayat yang pernah aku baca tak lama dahulu.

Orang Melayu ni, kalau tentang isu sensitif agama, memang berkobar-kobar berjuang; walaupun dia tak sembahyang!

Dan juga,

Menurut kajian, lebih kurang 80% orang Islam di Malaysia ni tak solat.

Dan lagi satu,

Wanita Barat yang memeluk Islam, juga mengenakan hijab, sedangkan ramai yang lahir asalnya Muslim tidak berbuat demikian.

Tambah lagi satu,

Tidakkah mereka sedar bahawa pengunjung utama kelab-kelab malam adalah anak-anak muda Melayu beragama Islam?

Tudung

We got lots of tudung at home. Mostly are mine, from around 10 years ago until now.

Right.

The topic is, about the proper way of wearing tudung. I admit, wearing a shorter tudung is more attractive. And, me myself actually not keen on wearing tudung. I think that I'm not suitable to wear one, and always end up berserabut wearing it. And just recently I feel comfortable of wearing tudung, and now I like wearing it most of the time. But there is time when I feel like to throw out all the tudung I got and be a free-hair.

So, what about the proper way?

As I learnt before, and most of the people know, the tudung must cover our chest. In easy words, make sure that the tudung must hide the shape of out breast. But most of the people just make it to cover the hair only. That is not really the purpose of wearing tudung.

This is not to attack certain someone. This is for everyone, whether as a new knowledge, or as a reminder. And certainly is for me who at most of the time tergoda with the types of tudungs available nowadays. Of course I want to be beautiful. Everyone does. And some time I did wear shorter tudung, and fancier than the ones I use now.
Manusia kan, selalu saja kalah dengan tipu daya syaitan. Hari ni kata, kasi pendek sikit takpe. Tak nampak sangat beza. Then, bila dah biasa pakai tudung macam tu, ayat yang sama juga diulang, hinggalah jadi sependek takat tutup rambut saja.

And if anybody notice, I already stop wearing tudung labuh. I felt that I'm not worth to wear until I already become someone I supposed to be. Okay, macam bodoh saja alasan.

It's Not Good Not To Like Someone Else

Well, I have this certain someone which I don't even want to see, at all. I don't know, each time I see this person, I suddenly have this feeling near to hate. For me, this person is not understandable, likes to divert the topics being discussed, and too schematic, if that's the right word. But then in the same time, this person is very nice and caring.

But then I decided to leave the near-to-hate feeling and accept this certain someone bad traits, and only look at this person's good side.

Well, I also have bad traits, much more than anyone I ever met, and always overshadowed my good trait. So, surely I don't want anyone to hate me, even if I don't really care being hated. But, accepting each other is the best to live among people. Nobody is perfect, but we can move toward perfect. But don't be a perfectionist. That makes people hate you even more.

That has been the things I told myself repeatedly.

Hikikomori

From Wikipedia:

Hikikomori (ひきこもり or 引き籠もり Hikikomori?, literally "pulling away, being confined", i.e., "acute social withdrawal") is a Japanese term to refer to the phenomenon of reclusive people who have chosen to withdraw from social life, often seeking extreme degrees of isolation and confinement because of various personal and social factors in their lives. The term hikikomori refers to both the sociological phenomenon in general as well as to people belonging to this societal group. In Western terminology this group may include individuals suffering from social phobia or social anxiety problems. This could also be due to agoraphobia, avoidant personality disorder or painful or extreme shyness.

Ada dalam diri kita?

Cerita Tentang Malas

Sekarang. Tengah. Mengadap. Susu. Tambah. Nestum. Tambah. Madu. Panas.

I was thinking of nyamuk. After the seminar this evening, which ended around 5 PM, I went back and tidur. I was thinking of praying, but then, as usual, MALAS. So, after berangan around 15 minutes, I slept.

Dalam jam 6, aku dikejutkan dengan gatal, at my fingers and feet. Oleh kerana gatal yang amat sangat, aku bangun dan seekor nyamuk pun berjaya dibunuh.

Then I looked at the time, 6 PM. I lied down back, trying to sleep. But something was in my mind; why don't I just got up and pray?
I didn't know if SETAN really was having a 'conversation' with me that time. I can't sleep, and was thinking, Allah sent the nyamuks to wake me up, so that I will pray. He wanted me to meet Him. And usually, I easily fall back to sleep. But this evening, it was hard even if I was very sleepy due to only 2 hours of sleep that morning

There are two types of thinking in our mind; one is saying 'well, you can wait. Ko pun bukanlah baik sangat. Setakat tinggal dua, tiga kali semayang pun relaxlah. Baru nampak kau macam manusia biasa. Ko semayang pun, ko buat dosa besar lain gak. Nampak hipokrit.', and another one is saying,'Allah beri peringatan tu. Bukan senang nak dapat peringatan direct macam tu. Kau baru buat dosa besar, kejap je tadi. Sudah-sudahlah. Jangan tambah lagi satu. Bangun, solat Asar.'

And as you can see, the one yang ajak kepada kejahatan tu adalah lebih logikal alasannya. Dan selalunya aku tertarik kepada yang logikal itu. I don't want to be hypocrite as 'he' said.

Cara ajakan tu, memang mudah saja, kalau nak dilihatlah. Ada sesetengah orang yang begitu menekankan prinsip hidup, maka prinsip hidup itu yang menjadi perkara untuk dicucuk-cucuk. Dan bagi wanita pula, sebab nak cantik dan berkeyakinan, pun menjadi perkara hasutan syaitan. Dan bagi yang berpasangan, perkara indah tentang berpasangan pula yang menjadi perkara godaan mereka.

They are using simple reasons untuk menipu kita. But still, kita terlalu ikut logik akal untuk buat pilihan. Mereka tak suruh dan paksa kita, tapi kita yang buat pilihan.

Ya Allah, kami memohon dariMu dari godaan syaitan yang direjam.

Constant

I really envy people who can do something which I want but I can't. For example, praying. How is that someone can constantly want to pray, and be faithful about religion etc?

Should never give up eh?

Menanti BEAR Pulang

To those who don't know, Bear is a nickname I gave to my sister. Hehe... another nickname present in this house is Kecik, which I call my smallest sister with, and Kiah or Zakiah (Anas 999), which refer to the same person, but used by Bear. Okay, Kiah or Zakiah might be a common name, but her actual name is Nadhirah. I have no idea why she called her Zakiah.

So, Eid is coming, PBS is done, assignments waiting waving frantically for me to sit and do but I am so busy apart from headache which attacks me almost everyday. Well, as Bear is going home today, I might have a chance or two to do AT LEAST the 'theoretical knowledge' for the practical report. And, the PUPPET!! What am I suppose to do? Make a story and just do a simple puppet with socks? Well, that seems a good idea.

Why they give us lots of work for a week of holiday? It is just a week of holiday; no one will have a chance to do work a week before Eid. I'm not super human. And PBS week is not a holiday.

What to do. Work is work. It will never end. Until death.

So, starting end of last week I made some cookies. And just finished one this morning. And I successfully tidied up this room (which may be 'berserabut semula' after this as I brought up the printer and such). Imagine a room two third of the hostel room (in Afzan), shared by three person, and another room with the same width now is shared by....let me see...3 - 5 LARGE GUY; you'll never find a 'warmer place' on Earth full with love and hugs. Hahahahahahaha.... The rooms are never tidy, and I always give up doing so. What's the point when you don't even have enough space to sit let alone to put the stuffs you got.

Not that I blame my parents for the small house. Just... keep the things to the minimum (say that to yourself dude!!). Well, good thing that 3 of us live outside and come back just during holiday or weekend.

Mak is cleaning the lower floor right now. There are rats living on the ceiling. And one died recently. One, I met a maggot under on the long chair under the stairs where the rat rot. It was fat!! Well, you don't need to say about the smell. A living stack of cells are rotting. What else can you say?

Actually, in my opinion, poison is better to kill rather than using traps. It is more effective. When I was in UK, I lived beside a box where water and gas pipe are in there. And rats (in my case mice) usually use pipes routes to go around the house. The box was just beside the bed and I made it as a table to put my alarm clock and bedroom lamp. And I always see tiny tails poking out of the box, the sounds they made etc. A guy from the pest control put some packets of poison paste through each holes in there, and the problem solved. At least in my room.

But most people doesn't like using poison. That is just because the rats can die anywhere, at unreachable places and you can't throw the body out of the house. And when that happen, you just have to bear the unbearable smell and maggots coming out of nowhere. Well, so far I am okay with that. But not my mum.

So, that's about rats. What else eh?

Talking about Bear. Angah will fetch her today, with Dekli and Hafiz. They'll go to KL, go to Damansara to get her, then 'awek Angah', go shopping, and return home. Oh, Angah-wife-to-be is from Raub, lived about half an hour from here. One thing, each day always in news, stories about accident. It is really common in Malaysia. Not going to say much, but I think it is rare to find one in UK. There might be accidents there, but not so easy to find one even during festive time. Can I say that our people is lack of carefulness? Or maybe rude? Or maybe think that a life means nothing you can make a new one anytime you want (that might be a reason why people kill babies nowaday)?

Please, I hope everything will be alright. I don't want to lose anybody, anyone wouldn't want to. People out there, drive carefully. If you badly want to die, just die by yourself. Don't take others with you. They have family, they are needed by their family. If you want to go, just go. (Well, sounds like I'm talking about myself here).

So far, Eid Mubarak everyone. Be happy during the day. Praise HIM a lot, because He is the only one who deserves all the praising. I didn't reach my Ramadhan target, unfortunately. I call that, a feeling of difficulties of going to mosque. It is out of laziness. It is different.

Anyway, EID MUBARAK!!

Emmmm....

I was in stress yesterday, and not feeling well after iftar. Loya yang teramat sangat. Jalan pun dah terhuyung hayang dah. Kalau muntah terus tak mengapa juga. Ni loya saja, siksa sungguh.

By the way, back to the stress story. I just remembered the past, which in certain aspect, effect the current condition I am now.

My bad, I tend to act recklessly and stupidly when I'm in stress. I have this one bad behaviour, that I usually do when I'm not okay, or when I simply feel lonely. So, I did it yesterday.

Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang tidak beriman kepada akhirat, Kami jadikan terasa indah bagi mereka perbuatan-perbuatan mereka (yang buruk), sehingga mereka bergelimang dalam kesesatan.

An-Naml:4

Seriously, orang yang beriman, akan wujudnya akhirat, akan tidak mewenang-wenangnya membuat sesuatu yang buruk, sesuatu yang dosa. But we recklessly do everything that we want to do, say what we want to say, selalu ada bad intention dalam hati, etc. Kita jarang nak jaga hati kita.

I am really reflecting this ayah for myself. Banyak perkara dalam diri aku, dalam hati aku, yang masih tak fulfil 'the requirement' of being a Muslim, and a Mukmin. Betapa indahnya dunia ni, sampai rasa macam sayang sangat nak tinggal. Dan betapa mudahnya melupakan Allah semata-mata nak menjaga hati-hati manusia.

Apa pun, manusia itu sentiasa berubah-ubah dan tak selamanya berada ditampuk yang lama. Apa yang terjadi pada masa lalu, telah pun berlalu, dan mereka yang terlibat pun tak seperti mereka yang lalu. It is just you who don't change at all. So, go on dude. It is all just a history. Learn it, and go on with current life.

Aku nak balik rumah.

Pelita Hidup - Hijjaz

Hidup ini bagai pelita dinding,
Yang dinyalakan di malam hari,
Apabila minyak sudah kering,
Ia kan pasti padam sendiri.

Just want to remind me myself and everybody, whatever our religion is, whatever our belief is, this one thing is undeniable. We, all of us, one day, will die eventually.

I believe these words below are from Ali RA, roughly said :

If the hereafter is not exist, then both of us (the believers and the non-believers) are save. BUT, IF IT DOES EXIST, I will be save, and you'll go astray.

The question is, what did we do this day? Is today is an achievement, or another episode of our *unintended* mistakes?

May Allah help us and guide us to the right path.
