Bisvit Selimut - Episode 4

Dia melihat nota EDU, baru mula membaca bab pertama. Digaru kepalanya, kebingungan.

"Instructional Technology Domain 1977...three functions, teaching management, teaching development and learning resources.. teaching management, berkaitan pengurusan learning resources, teaching development..berkaitan dengan lesson plan, dibuat berdasarkan teori yang diconceptualise, lepas tu... learning resources... berkaitan penyampaian information kepada students." pen biru Faster shine 0.7mm bermain di tangannya.

"Lepas ni Educational Technology Domain, 1994, kesinambungan daripada 1977. Hmm..five main areas... design, development, use, management and evaluation..." sambungnya semula. Pen biru diletakkan. Fokus kepada lagu "Pretty Little Girl" yang dipopularkan oleh Blink 182..

"We forget that our lives been apart it is hard, we thought we are close but it still feels far. Can we learn to get by and we learn to have scars, learn to forgive and accept who we are..she said.."

"If you break my heart, then I'll change your mind, and I will do it again.. If you play the part and I will play mine, and I will do it again. If we miss the mark and we hold on tight, we'll be there to do it again."

"Okay, design domain, ada empat area yang penting, instructional system design, message design, instructional strategies, pupils characteristics. Hmm... lebih kurang je dengan domain 1977." dicapai bisvit selimut, dibuka dan dimakan dengan sekali suapan. Sambil mengunyah, tangan membetulkan earphone, supaya jelas kedengaran bunyi di telinga.

"Memang gila aa. Baru topik satu. Mampus aku. Penting sangat ke ni.." bebel dia sendirian.

"Of courselah penting, mu ni. Walaupun hanya dalam soalan objektif, rasanya, tapi pilihan jawapan tu 1 daripada 4. Pertaruhan di antara hidup dan mati tu." Adi dalam kesibukan membuat nota BMM, masih sempat buat ayat bombastik.

"Hmm..penatlah. Dahlah subjek major belum lagi dicover, penat weh. Okay, sambung, mesti habis at least dua topik malam ni. Penat aku. Besok kena cover at least empat topik, no more Dota 2." dia cuba memotivasikan diri.

Adi tersenyum. Gembira dia melihat kawannya fokus kepada study. Apa tidak, jika dia stress, Dota 2 jadi peneman, sehingga ke Subuh. Lepas subuh, dia tidur sehingga zuhur, dan sambung semula bermain.

Lagu bertukar, Imperatium, lagu kegemaran dia. Makin bersemangat dia untuk belajar EDU. Walaupun agak susah, tapi memang kena hadapi dengan penuh cabaran, melibatkan kerjaya, dan dia tak ingin untuk fail mana-mana paper, ingin buat clean sheets sampai graduate.

"Okay, sambung semula. Design domain dah faham, sekarang development domain..domain ni.."

"Mu." Adi bersuara.

Dia mengangkat muka daripada nota EDU. Bisvit diambil dan dimakan lagi.

"Apasal Adi?"

"Thanks sebab jadi kawan aku."

Dia kehairanan. Apakah Adi mengarut pada pukul 11 malam ini?

Bisvit Selimut - Episode 3

Matanya memandang ke arah handphone yang dilihat sejak tadi. Berfikir.

"Perlu ke reply SMS dia ni? Hmm. Takut nanti aku juga yang sedih hati." gumam bersendirian.

"Kau bercakap dengan siapa tu?" satu suara dari belakang menyapa kedua belah telinganya.

"Kau rupanya Ji. Terkejut beruk aku." dia melihat semula handphonenya selepas menoleh ke arah tuan empunya suara.

Ji atau nama fullnya, Katrina Jeane Ahmad Iskandar, masih lagi tertanya-tanya.

"Apasal Ji? Lain semacam jer kau tengok aku." ujar dia sambil tersenyum. Ji menghembuskan nafas halus.

"Takdelah, tapi sejak kebelakangan ni, kau asyik termenung, tengok handphone. Are you okay my dear friend?" Ji menunjukkan sifat naluri bagai seorang ibu, meskipun belum kahwin.

"Okay je Ji. Cuma...." dia terhenti seketika, tanpa menunjukkan tanda-tanda ingin menyambung kata-katanya.

Bisvit Selimut - Episode 2

Dia mengambil sekeping lagi bisvit selimut. Memang gila bisvit sungguh. Walaupun berkeras menjaga badan, mengira kalori masuk, sehingga membeli penimbang untuk buat kuih raya hanya semata-mata mahu tahu berapa kalori sesuatu makanan itu. Agak pelik tapi itulah yang dia belajar secara maya daripada abang Sususejat.com. Sekarang memang dia makin mantap, dan ramai yang ingin jadi seperti dia, malah ada yang tergila-gilakannya. Cuma dia tak ambil pusing tentang hal tu. Sebab dia asyik terfikir seseorang yang telah menawan hati lembutnya tu. Cuma kalau official, dapatkah perangai dan sikapnya diterima oleh orang itu? Lebih-lebih dia seorang gamer.

DotA atau kata panjangnya Defense of The Ancients, game yang dia main sejak 2010, itupun sebab geng-geng di kelas dia selalu main game tu, akhirnya menjadi ketagih lebih-lebih lagi Icefrog dan Valve telah produce DotA 2 yang mempunyai grafik lebih tinggi dan baik daripada yang pertama.

Dia menghabiskan bisvit. Melihat jadual exam akhir tahun.

"Let's see..7 November, 9 dan 10 November. EDU, dua subjek major, hmm. Kena fokus subjek major kedua ni, sebab tak banyak belajar sangat. EDU pun kena fokus, tak faham sungguh konsep-konsep ni. Lepas exam, habis. Eh kalau tak silap si Ji ada kata, tak boleh balik awal...ish! Apahal la kolej ni. Time akhir-akhir mesti ada jer program. Hurm." membebel dia seorang diri. Ketidakpuasan hati  terpancar tapi tidak lama. Tak sampai 10 saat, dia mula klik icon DotA 2, terus klik icon "Find Match". Matchmaking dengan orang lain di seluruh dunia.

"Weh mu. Laillahaillallah. Orang lain bangun-bangun belajar. Mu bangun-bangun terus buka DotA 2." ujar Adi, merangkap kawan baiknya.

"Bosanla. Tiada mood nak study. Aku ni lain, time tengahari hingga ke petang je aku rasa semangat nak study." ujar dia sambil mencapai lagi sekeping bisvit, dihabiskan dalam masa 10 saat saja.

Adi menggeleng, dia terus meneruskan kerjanya pada hari tu, membiarkan kawannya. Dia faham, dia bukan tiada mood untuk study, tapi ada sebab tertentu buatkan kawan dia begitu.

"Okay yes! Apa mode ni apa mode?" sambil matanya memerhatikan skrin laptop ACER dia.

"All random? Matilah. Tolonglah bagi aku hero yang bagus...." dia tutup matanya dengan penuh harapan sambil tangan kanannya memegang penumbuk kirinya.

"Yeah!! Bloodseeker!!" kegembiraan melihat hero favouritenya di skrin. Adi yang sedang membuat nota, terhenti.

"Hoi budak! Bising la weh. Aku tengah fokus study ni!!" marah Adi. Dia tersengih, sengih yang Adi tak dapat tafsirkan, dia menjelirkan lidahnya ke arah Adi. Adi mencapai bantal di katil dan baling ke arah dia. Papp! Headshot.

Dia menoleh ke arah Adi.

Bisvit Selimut - Episode 1

"You."

Masih terpaku.

"Weh."

Diam.

"HOI!"

"Apasal?" tersentak dia bertanya. Mengacau daun betul si Adi ni.

"Termenung jauh nampak. Fikir dekat si dia ke? Kehkehkeh." usik kawannya tu. Memang kerja dia kuat mengusik.

"Sembarang la mu sana. . Saja mau termenung, best juga termenung. Kan? Macam best je, macam best je." ujar dia mengikut style Shasha Legoland Girl.

"Weh, mu nak jadi budak legoland eh?"

"Please la weh." mencebik. "Aku bukan budak legoland, budak Old Trafford."

"Banyak la OT mu sana. Jadi apsal? Eh, Man Utd menang pun lawan Stoke City 3-2. Mantap aa Chica, RvP dan Wazza. Takkan tak happy kot?"

"Pasal bola lain cerita la weh." 

"Abis? Ni tak lain pasal DotA ni. Kalah lagi? Consecutive streak? Dominating? Mega kill?"

Memandang si kawan.

"Unstoppable streak. Tapi aku kasi K.O balik guna ES. Tapi that's not the problem."

"Habis? Pasal exam? Weh paper Sains dan LGA tu senang pun. Mu sendiri bangga dapat jawab."

"Isk! Please stop buat conclusion sendiri."

Kawannya terdiam, kalau sudah dikata begitu, itu tanda anginnya tak bagus. Tapi dia tau, dia bukan mahu bersendirian, dia mahu dipujuk, macam budak-budak, difahami kalau merajuk.

"Ceritakan."

"Entahlah. Aku bingung. Ada sorang ni, dia ni okay. Cara dia layan aku, macam dia care sangat. Cuma masalahnya, aku tak mau masuk atau kena friendzone. Serik aku weh." ujar dia dengan kekecewaan yang mendalam. Dengan Adi, senang saja dia luah. Dah macam siblings, malah kadang-kadang sebelum tidur pun, suka bercerita, berusik-usik, buang bantal lagi.

"Teruskan."

"Aku layan macam biasa, tapi lama kelamaan aku makin suka dengan dia. Jadi..."

"Kau luah?"

Mengangguk sambil buat muka yang betul-betul sedih. Tangan mencapai sekeping bisvit selimut diselaputi keju. 3 kali gigit terus telan.

"Weh, bisvit 60 kalori!"

"60 jer. Bukan 300. Kalau 300, aku jogging 20 round."

Kawannya sekadar menggeleng melihat dia. Senyum dalam hati. Dia ni dari segi paras rupa memang menarik juga, perangai yang sempoi dan santai. Tapi yang membuatkan dia berbeza daripada yang lain, hobi dia. Gaming, setiap game yang berbentuk stealth dia suka, terutamanya Splinter Cell Blacklist. DotA 2 jangan cerita, tapi tulah selalu saja kalah, bikin frust juga. Dan paling lain daripada yang lain, dia die hard fan Manchester United. Kalau yang lain, sebab ada orang-orang tertentu saja minat contoh minat RVP, Januzaj, dan yang lain-lain tu. Tapi dia lain, sebab lihat game Man Utd main, dia jatuh cinta. Hinggakan main Football Manager pun, dia pilih Man Utd. Buat sendiri strategi dia, beli pemain yang dia suka.

Tapi ada satu perkara buat kawannya ni kagum dengan dia. Baru ditinggalkan oleh kekasih, disuruh jangan mengganggu ex dia tu lagi, dia buat relaks je. Kawan dia ni pun baru sedar 3 jam yang lalu yang dia ni dah putus contact dengan ex dia tu. Tapi dalam hati, Allah saja tahu.

"Weh, mu ni pun satu. Apasal pergi luah? Perigi cari timba mu ni." kawannya menegur.

Dia menoleh. Kelihatan mukanya tidak puas hati.

"Weh, ini style aku. Tak mainlah nak ikut tipikaliti masyarakat kita." dia membidas.

Adi terkejut. Dah dia bidas begitu, baik diam-diam.

"Sorrylah ya. Takda niat pun nak singgung." Adi memohon maaf.

Dia senyum nipis "Salah aku tinggikan suara. Dahlah. Mu tau juga aku kan. Relax Di."

Dia menuju ke tingkap, memakai sweater warna merah, pasang hood di kepala. Angin malam datang menyerbu, mendinginkan bilik yang tidak perlu aircond lagi.

"Di. Kadang-kadang aku hairan. Kenapa perlu ada friendzone? Kenapa perlu ada benda tu?"

Adi melihat dia.

"Tak tahulah. Kadang-kadang aku fikir juga. Selalunya kita yang kasi friendzone dorang, tapi kali ni lain kes. Mu pula kena friendzone. Eh, jadi apa dia jawab? Dia terima?" Adi tanya soalan cepu emas.

"Taklah. Dia lebih kurang macam aku, cuma dia lagi teruk. Kekasihnya tinggalkan dia, malukan dia di hadapan orang ramai. Dia tak ready. Dia macam dah serik kena buat begitu. Aku kata dekat dia, kalau tak cuba mana kita tahu. Nak tahu apa dia jawab?"

"Apa?" Muka ingin tahu terserlah.

"Memang betul kalau tak cuba kita tak tahu, tapi pengalaman mengajar. Berdasarkan pengalaman dia takut sejarah berulang. Jadi lebih baik elakkan sesuatu yang kita tidak pasti, dengan fokus kepada sesuatu yang mungkin menggembirakan hati kita. Dalam weh ayatnya."

"Hmm.. siapa juga orang yang mu maksudkan ni? Dalam kalangan kita? I mean, our college?"

Dia senyum sayu. Menggeleng.

"Kalau orang kolej kita, dah lama penumbuk di muka dia." bisik hati dia.

(bersambung....)

Motivation

Last Tuesday, our lecturer came to our class, which I thought she would 'membebel' something useless.

But then, my heart said "Listen to her."

I did.

You know what she said?

She gave motivational talk, attitude, live your life happily, forgiving people, many more.

She said like this, well, I paraphrase it.

"Sometimes I don't know, when a lecturer teaches you just so-so, not very good, and not strict, you tend to give the lecturer five (for evaluation form), but if a lecturer is being strict, teach you very good, like me (laugh), you will give them lower (5 is the highest for evaluation score, 1 is the lowest). You are being hypocrite you know."

Smile, but only in my heart. Yeah, we are being hypocrite, but some people tend to be lying rather than being honest, just want to ensure his/her position in their career, or whatever.

She also talked about her neighbours, which she is being friendly to them, though they are different races. She said "We are one Malaysia."

Attitude is vital, crucial, undeniable importance to everyone of us. Yup.

Attitude is something you can't learn directly, not because of norm, but it's simply because of being yourself, to respect, and being respected by others.

People won't respect you if you not respect them, that's for sure.

Attitude is vital, because people around you will be pleased, happy and enjoy being with you.

That's why, Rasulullah S.A.W, the greatest man of all time, have a good attitude, which everyone loves.

Amazing, isn't it? :)

I read a printscreen related to mufti who is ready to apologize for his statement about KD should be Malay.

Forgive him, that's the best.

I wonder, if someone make a controversial statement, of course we are angry, but when he/she wants to apologize, we couldn't accept it.

But if someone that we admire the most do the same thing, we may be different. Simply, because we love him/her.

If we are hardly to forgive someone for their mistakes, we are hardly to forget their mistakes, but we simply forget their good deeds to us.

It's not easy, yet not hard, if we try.

To talk about life, I don't have the right to do so, because everyone's life is different.

You may hate people to judge you, but sometimes you shouldn't blame them.

Maybe, it's because you start to provoke them.

Of course, if you do it right, then it'll be okay, but if it's not, then it won't be okay.

Wrong is wrong, even though everyone is doing it, right is right, even if you're the only doing it.

People change, for some reasons, but sometimes their changes, disrupt others, him/herself.

That's life.

Sweet is bitter, bitter is sweet, that's life.

Happy Eidul-Adha, let us fast tomorrow, dear brothers and sisters muslim. :)

It's Dominating! It's Dominating!

I believe this is my first or second time to write about football.

Today's match, Derby of Manchester.

But, I'm disappointed, because the Blue has won.

The Red Devils lost.

Absurd, 4 goals to one.

But at least, they didn't get clean sheet. Heh.

Well, what I could say is the MF was not very good, I only saw Rooney who performed very well.

Then, after Cleverley came to susbstitute AY, I saw a glimpse of hope.

They attacked, attacked, attacked, during the second half, it's much better after 4 goals on first and early second half.

Then, Rooney's free kick, to deny clean sheet for Joe Hart.

They were to excellent, Rooney didn't lose his temper, but I was disappointed to see Kagawa, Nani and Hernandez were left out on the bench.

The game ended with MU still had two available substitutions, and that's absurd.

But, it's useless to write on here, my dissatisfaction towards DM, on not using Kagawa and Nani.

If there's a way to contact them, I'll be the first one to text/mail/call him.

Well, it's a history now, it's pointless to feel angry, pointless to insult, to boast, or whatever.

Learn from it.

Everyone has bad day, I believe Man Utd had, have and will have bad days. But it's important to bounce back from defeat. 

Workout Songs

Well, I have too many ideas, alhamdulillah thanks to Allah, but this time, I want to share the workout songs that I have been using. Workout here means weight training because I don't listen to music when doing cardio (futsal).

Workout songs should be upbeat, fast tempo, catchy, epic, rock songs also possible.

Well, it's your choice. Not that I discourage you to listen to slow music, but hey, it's much better to listen superb songs right? :)

Well, let me list down my favourite songs whenever I workout. Sometimes, I like to repeat the songs over and over again.

1. Immediate Music - Imperitum/Imperativa/Imperativa Remix

Imperitum

Try click it, or just search on the YouTube.

Three different versions of this music (song has lyric). It's epic, the combination of orchestra and modern music (since when I know a lot about this -_-), well it motivates me to do workout more. But, of course, I have limit too. I do not need to workout more than an hour. 20, 30 minutes until 45 minutes is enough (mostly 20-30 minutes) because I train every day, train different muscles every day. That's how I do it.

This music actually creates your imagination, well anything you want. Sometimes I like to imagine to dance with someone using this music. Oh, of course, with future wife.

2.Blue Stahli - Overklock

This. Please find the genre. People say it's not house or whatever clubbing music, I put the genre as an electronic industrial rock music. Seriously.

It's a superb upbeat music, fast and not really epic but techno. Combination of techno and punk/rock music. Well, opinion anyway.

But seriously, this music can motivate you more and makes you to push yourself to the limit. Search it on YouTube.

3. E.S Posthumus - Arise

Another music which..err..good, interesting, not very epic but catchy. Slow at the beginning, good climax and happy ending. Just to say it.

4. Atomic Moog

Well this music also good. I like to listen to this when playing games, including workout. Still, it's a nice music to listen, or you can say it's a song.

5. The Used - Pretty Handsome Awkward

Finally, a song in my list. This is actually good because it is a punk rock genre. Well just listen.

It depends on you, your choice to listen to music or songs when doing workout. But for me, most of these songs are fast and upbeat, which I like to listen compare to blink 182 songs or others when I am working out.

Well, that's it. Just in case you want some upbeat music to do workout, I highly recommend the first and second. :)
