Salam Ramadhan everybody. Alhamdulillah, Allah's grace with us this year, as always, and today we are blessed enough to still be given the chance to live and go though another Ramadhan, the month when the Hell's doors closed, and His Mercy is free for all. All you have to do is ask. Insya Allah, never there's a second He isn't listening to us, and His forgiveness is indeed the greatest love of all. Let's pray for His Mercy and redha, let's double our amal and may our Afterlife ends in Jannah, Amiin.
As usual, my post always get published at odd times. Well, right now, it's only sometime before Subuh in my first Ramadhan away from home. Not really, if the times in school count, but I think I've never spent my real Ramadhan (the times when I was in Semenanjung, I was a little boy back then, therefore, half-day fasting was good enough) away from Sabah before, so this year's quite a new experience, berbuka puasa only after 7. Sabah prayer times is waaaaaaay much earlier, so, Maghrib is never after 7. Hopefully I will get used to it quick.
Right now, it's almost two months at AAJ, and I'm fitting in. Schedules are packed,shukudais are stacked, and sleep is now no longer on my to-do list. Nevertheless, I'm loving the life here though I might complain a lot in my previous post and more posts to come. Seikatsu wa totemo isogashikute, kanji no benkyo wa muzukashii desuga, tanoshii desune.
Okay, main point. My sensei told the class yesterday that AAJ has a program for second years that are about to fly to Japan , and it involves a lot of memories. Some time after the end of EJU, students will collect the things that remind them a lot about life at AAJ, and then they will put them in a time capsule. After graduating, AAJ calls them back, and these things will be unearthed, reminding them of the times here, where tears and sweat are dropped, where friendship and love are bonded, and dreams and visions are shared. Memories will soon take their place in everyone's hearts, remembering the hardship everyone had gone through to finally smell Malaysian air once again, after years walking on the land of the rising sun.
I hope that day, I have had already fully matured, had already grown strong enough to face this world, and had already decided on my life course. Right now, I have several future plans that would need a lot of thinking and revising, and I'm still haven't made up my mind yet. Studying Japanese for a while now, my passion for this language rekindled,after I doused it off a couple of years ago because of my interest of going to UK and pursuing a medical career; seeing myself in this current situation resolved the desire a whole lot, and now I think I wanna be a Japanese Language teacher. Doesn't sound pretty bad, huh?
I don't know whether if this sudden change of ambitions is caused by my indecisive personality or the extrovert guy in me. A teaching job involves a lot of speaking and social interactions, and I had always been marked by my teachers because of non-stop talking, even in exam halls ( by the way I'm having my exam now ) and libraries; as long as I'm in company of the right people, whom are willing to listen to my rants, nonsense and sometimes "tazkirah". Bahaha.
But they always say, do what you love to do. Conficius (?) once said, "if you do the things you love for a job, you'll never have to work for the rest of your life". I hope you guys will choose what are you gonna do in this near future real careful too, so we all can live a life with no regrets.
Aidilfitri is coming near, so I'm taking this chance to wish all my readers Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri. May our amals are all accepted by Allah, the most Merciful Forgiver. And I'm sorry too, if somehow I had hurt your feelings, or took your haq someway. Let's all pray for another chance to meet Ramadhan next year. Aamiin...
#Tak balik Sabah tahun ni so I'm gonna be a little sad. But still I can call you guys anytime kan?
# Seriously, I think my writing style is too feminine. Isn't that so?

Ehemmm.
I read a post. A very good one indeed, telling a story about two awesome friends of mine, Syukri and Jerry. Narrated by Syukri, or as he likes it, Sung, he wrote about Jerry whom had always been his rival and how awesome these two guys were in school. To tell the truth, I am very much amused by them and I had been jealous of them because somehow, they are just damn smart. Just in case anyone wonders about the truth of the story, yeah, true that. I was a witness to their efforts to beat each other in exams.
The story was truthfully written, except Sung did leave one last part. That missing chapter is : Sung, you cannot EVER leave out Ramdzuanny Musram from the rivalry. I admit defeat in high school years, but just you two wait. I'm gonna kick your asses someday! HAHAHAHA! (okay, that was over it) What I'm trying to tell here is I'm gonna fight harder and become stronger than before. But, please stay awesome as you guys are already now. Wouldn't it be nice if someday we can meet up together and brag to each other on how damn good we were in college? I'm waiting for that day, for sure ;)
Okay, I'm posting this because a lot of time had passed since my last essays, and I think I need to write something to stay sharp. Seriously, my English that I took years to improve had rotten since I've been stuck here in AAJ, most probably caused by the lack of conversations in English.(or too much Kanji?) English class is only held once a week, so I do not have much chance to communicate in English. I don't wanna be good in Japanese but losing my English over the years. So, here am I, blabbering once again.
Ehemmm. I hope everyone whom reads this follows my updates, because I like to be watched. (Okay, I admit I'm an attention seeker) My previous post said that I went to JPA interviews and were still waiting for the result to come. Now, Alhamduliilah, as this post is written, I've been successful, and I have been studying at Ambang Asuhan Jepun, Universiti Malaya for 1 month now. Life had been tough, but this new phase is even tougher. Imagine 9 Kanji characters everyday to be learnt, and learning it today means you have to memorise and be able to write and read them the next morning, as we have a Kanji test every weekdays. Even that's still a blessing; our senpais had 12 Kanji to learn daily. Haha.
Crammed with Japanese shukudai, pressed by boring science lectures, I have to say: I haven't been coping well. I sleep for at most 5 hours everyday, and I had been sleeping in many lectures because I'm such a heavy sleeper. Then, when the tutorials come, I don't know a damn thing. I was thinking to run away, but the love for Japanese language and the desire to build an Ironman suit kept me here somehow.
In the midst of tiredness and laziness and the lack of motivation to remain an AAJ student, a way out opened its doors. Another scholarship offer. Coming from a well known private company in Malaysia, the offer offered me to do a financial course at UK. My preparations, as I was told, was only A-levels, which, in my thoughts, wouldn't be so hard, because the medium is English, and I will never encounter my much disliked subject ever, Mr.Physics. Allowances reach four figures in RM each month, besides being offered to do A-levels in one the most lustrous college in Malaysia, Kolej Yayasan UEM. Who would reject that?
I was in dilemma, of course. At first, I was reluctant to leave, but after asking for friends' opinions and trusting my gut, I decided to go for it. I was gonna leave AAJ. Though sad to abandon my Japanese language studies and deleting the possibilities of founding a breakthrough in science fields almost entirely, I made the the decision. Consoling myself, I told my scared little heart, "Don't worry, you can learn Japanese anytime. The money's good, and the environment's better than UM." Job worries were thrown away from my mind, as the company guarantees employment after graduation;whilst JPA does not.
I asked my aunt living here in KL to help pick me up on the night before the scholarship awarding ceremony, like most limited scholarships always have, and I packed some of my things. The event lasted for three days, so I'm gonna miss most of the lectures if I decided somehow to cancel the contract and go back to AAJ. That night was a point of no return.
I dragged my half-full suitcase on the road, headed out to wait for my aunt. Then what I guess as a divine intervention disguised in a phone call came. It was my dad.
After chit-chatting with my dad, I went back to my room. Felt like a fool because some of my coursemates saw me leaving. Luckily no one asked much.
I said,
The story is only beginning to take its course now, so I can't see where's this going yet. But, life is like book anyway, the climax will come sooner or later. Insya Allah this is the best for me, and I hope I will never stop believing in His perfect plans. Indeed Allah is the Greatest Planner.

I said,
Sekarang ni Papi, saya nda tau apa mau buat. Saya pernah dengar orang cakap kalau dalam keadaan begini, dalam keadaan sudah buat solat istikharah semua, kalau masih belum dapat petunjuk, tanya ibubapa. Jadi sekarang saya tanya Papi, Papi mau saya stay mana?The reply was,
JPA lah. Sebab saya ada kawan degree finance UK juga, 15 tahun kerja baru boleh jadi boss.And a lot was said between us that night. So I stayed, believing in my father's words. Well, somebody did say trust your gut, but no matter how awesome we are, things won't work out well if our parents are not redha-ing our actions. Remember, Allah's redha is in our parents' redha too. If even the Merciful God's not on our side, I can't imagine how helpless can we be.

UEFA Champions League!
Kemenangan sudah hampir pasti, namun akhirnya Bayern Munich menangis di tempat sendiri. Chelsea dinobatkan sebagai juara Liga Juara-juara Eropah pagi tadi selepas merekodkan kemenangan 4-3 pada penentuan sepakan penalti yang mencatat keajaiban buat pasukan Liga Perdana Inggeris tersebut. Aksi perlawanan akhir yang cukup dramatik pagi tadi menyaksikan kedua-dua pasukan menjaringkan gol pada minit-minit akhir perlawanan.
Bermula dengan gol Bayern Munich pada minit ke-83 hasil tandukan Thomas Muller setelah menerima hantaran lintang rakan sepasukan Toni Kroos yang gagal dihalang Petr Cech meskipun berupaya membaca arah tandukan tersebut. Chelsea menyamakan kedudukan pada minit ke 85 setelah penyerang berpengalaman, Didier Drogba menanduk kemas sepakan sudut Juan Mata menuju gawang Bayern Munich. Kedudukan terikat 1-1 memaksa perlawanan ke masa tambahan yang ternyata banyak menghampakan Bayern Munich apabila terlepas tiga peluang keemasan untuk menjaringkan gol termasuk satu sepakan penalti Arjen Robben yang berjaya diselamatkan Petr Cech. Drama dua pasukan berterusan sehingga sepakan penalti dengan Chelsea bolos 3 sepakan pertama dan sepakan Juan Mata diselamatkan penjaga gol Bayern, Manuel Neuer. Namun tuah ternyata menyebelahi The Blues apabila sepakan pemain Bayern, Ivica Olic diselamatkan Cech dan Bastien Scweinsteiger hanya setakat menggegar tiang gol. Didier Drogba menjadi hero Chelsea dengan menyumbat masuk sepakan penalti terakhir yang mengesahkan kemenangan Chelsea di Munich.
Kejuaraan Chelsea menjadi lebih bermakna tahun ini kerana haluan mereka untuk ke pusingan akhir, perlu diakui, bukan mudah. Semangat pasukan dan ketabahan menjadi azimat ampuh mereka dalam mengharungi liku perjalanan untuk menjadi juara. Keajaiban yang dicipta pada pusingan separuh akhir di Nou Camp apabila Chelsea menundukkan pasukan sensasi Eropah, Barcelona, walaupun terpaksa bermain tanpa kapten, John Terry manakala Catalans menguasai bola hampir 70% seolah-olah petanda awal kejuaraan mereka hari ini. Kehilangan tonggak utama pasukan seperti Terry dan Raul Meireles yang digantung pada perlawanan akhir terbukti bukan aral Chelsea untuk mengucup bangga trofi kemenangan pagi tadi.

College life!
Hey there. It's been a while since my last update(I'm getting used to this sentence) mainly because I don't have anything good enough to write. Well, I'm not the type of blogger that updates every minute, telling others my whereabouts or my plans or simply how my days had been. But today, seeing my blog is getting covered up by dust, I decided to write something.
 |
| I was in one group with Jerry Mclean. |
Besides JPA, University Malaya also offered me a place for a foundation program. So, if I failed to get chosen for JPA's Japan technical program, I still have UM to consider. That's good to hear, after several times being rejected by sponsors, finally I have an option which favours my side.
 |
| Offered to PASUM :) |
Okay. I need you guys to always tell me to study hard, because this critical time is the point of no return. Flunk final exams, and my aspirations will glow dimmer than ever, because this may be my last chance to get a good education while I'm still young. Sure, I'll still have a lot of chances after this, but I don't to be the guy in his 30s still doing his college degree assignment. I need to stay focused, stay on track and stay faithful to be someone who will be able to transform his society.
To all my friends also going through this chapter of their lives, good luck. Please don't stop to become my great friends and please don't forget who we are. Once a 0711, always a 0711. We may not have fancy batchnames like some schools do, but it's those memories that matter. Those in KML, don't get too carried away with the cheap stuff and things you can do there, and please study hard. Get 4 flat, and we'll meet soon in some place with a lot to brag about to each other. Foundations students, maybe you guys don't get what you want to study, but remember, education is just a passport. Once you have qualifications, do whatever you want to do, because your papers enable you to do so. Interests and passion can be developed; it doesn't matter if you don't like engineering now, maybe you'll like it later. I'm a little frustrated with my friends who are too rigid and stubbornly reject a few good offers and chances simply because they say they don't like the subject. But it's your life anyway, I respect your choices, and do it your own way. Someday, prove me wrong guys, and say to me: "Sticking to your dreams doesn't hurt in the end."
 |
| Kan bagus kalau boleh tengok Menara Tokyo malam-malam. |
JPA and MARA interview candidates, all the best to you, I truly hope that we all get that damned scholarship because it's so damn hard to get sponsored in times like these. Let's pray for each other :) And I reaaaallllly want to get the JPA scholarship. Yokoso Japan!

Ikhlaskah mereka?
Setelah menonton
video hasilan seorang vlogger Malaysia yang sedang menuntut di Australia, saya tertarik dengan ayat terakhir dalam video tersebut, "Kami sengaja kosongkan jiwa kami sebab otak kami dah penuh dengan bullshit politik yang hangpa dok main". Saya rasa inilah antara sebabnya remaja sekarang banyak yang buta dan tuli politik. Kalau adapun yang aktif menyokong, sokongan buta dan tuli juga yang mereka berikan.
Belum ada sebarang penyelesaian yang hendak saya cadangkan di sini, dan isu politic game juga tak berselera saya sentuh. Cuma, ada soalan yang bermain dalam kotak fikiran saya. Berapa kali sudah saya fikirkan, namun soalan ini belum lagi penat bermain sebab jawapan yang ditunggu belum sampai.
Apabila saya lihat situasi politik di tanah air kita sekarang, pihak yang terlibat semakin rajin mengeluarkan bermacam ragam kenyataan, propaganda, mahupun tuduhan kepada pihak lawan. Fakta atau auta, Allah saja yang tahu. Selaku seorang penonton yang bakal mengundi 2-3 tahun lagi, keadaan ini macam boxing match, saling bertumbukan, bergigitan, berludahan. Penyokong peninju masing-masing sangat kreatif untuk menggamatkan suasana. Ada yang bawa banner, ada yang main bom, ada yang main lawyer, ada yang pakai surat khabar, main blog, macam-macam ada. Disebabkan keadaan perlawanan ini amatlah bising dan huru hara, orang yang bukan peminat tinju politik pun mengambil keputusan politik ini kotor dan keji. Jangan salahkan mereka, sebab itulah sebenarnya imej politik di negara ini. Padahal kalau kita lihat sebenarnya, politik itu suci, bersih dan murni. Kalaulah politik itu jijik, Islam takkan mengajar umatnya untuk mentadbir negara.
Tapi begitulah sebenarnya. Politik Malaysia sememangnya penuh dengan bullshit, yang busuk lagi membusukkan. Tohmahan, cacian serta fitnah sesama sendiri sudah jadi satu bentuk sapaan. Seolah-olah kalau tiada benda-benda ini, tidak sah satu hari. Surat khabar pun tak laku kalau politik tak bising satu hari.
Politik bagi saya merupakan satu seni mentadbir negara, memajukan kehidupan rakyat untuk kepentingan bersama. Sebab itulah ada pilhan raya, supaya orang yang paling layak dapat dipilih untuk menjadi pemimpin untuk mengepalai kerajaan. Nama pun pemimpin, maksudnya kenalah berjalan bersama-sama rakyat sebab tugasnya sebagai pemimpin. Contohnya, kalau kita memimpin tangan nenek kita melintas jalan raya, bukankah kita pegang erat tangan mereka kemudian berjalan bersama-sama untuk ke sebelah sana? Kalau nenek jalan selangkah, takkan kita jalan 3 langkah pula? Tapi apa yang saya lihat, pemimpin sekarang ada yang sudah berlari laju, sampai tertinggal rakyat di belakang.
Berbalik kepada situasi politik negara yang penuh dengan maki hamun segala, dapatlah saya simpulkan bahawa keadaan ini terjadi sebab masing-masing mahu jadi juara. Mahu kuasa, mahu nama. Bukannya mahu hidupkan rakyat agar sejahtera. Saya kata begini sebab saya lihat kerajaan dan pembangkang tak pernah setuju dalam satu perkara. Walaupun idea satu pihak itu cukup hebat, yang satu lagi cakap banyak cacat. Kalau program yang satu banyak khasiat, satu lagi kata penuh muslihat. Semuanya ralat. Begitulah hari-hari, tak penat-penat. Jika betul perjuangkan rakyat, kenapa yang bermanfaat pun disekat? Jika benar khidmat untuk negara, mengapa berebut-rebut kuasa? Tidak bolehkah duduk semeja, bincang seeloknya supaya senang sama-sama, susah sama-sama? Ini asyik rebut kerusi sana sini, macam budak-budak dalam kenduri.
Sejarah sudah merekodkan, pemerintahan yang agung pada zaman dahulu kala, ditadbir sama ada secara demokrasi, ataupun diktator. Empayar agung Rom dan China dijalankan secara tirani, memang besar tapi sebab itulah selalu tukar dinasti. Demokrasi pula, contohnya empayar Islam, pun hanya ada satu khalifah, tapi usul-usul tetap dibincang dalam Majlis Syura. Bukannya saya kata Malaysia tidak berbuat begitu, tapi yang dibincang selalunya bab undang-undang. Kalau projek bangunkan negara, semuanya ikut suka. Asyik mahu menangkan kroni sendiri sahaja.
Akibat pihak kerajaan yang selalu bergaduh dengan pembangkang, saya pun hairan. Benarkah pemimpin sekarang mahu majukan negara? Memang banyak bukti yang menunjukkan kesungguhan politikus negara, tapi kenapa masih mahu tuduh-menuduh? Kenapa pihak yang satu mesti jatuh? Bukankah kita sama-sama rakyat Malaysia, punya IC yang bukan warna merah, mahukan yang terbaik untuk negara? Kalau usul yang satu itu baik, terima sajalah. Kenapa mesti dibantah kalau projek yang terlaksana dikibar lain bendera? Ikhlaskah mereka? Jika negara diutamakan, saya pasti fitnah dan maki hamun takkan bertebaran seperti ini.
Jika kita ambil pengajaran daripada keruntuhan Kerajaan Khulafa ar-Rasyidin, kita dapat lihat institusi itu jatuh disebabkan Muawiyah menginginkan jawatan khalifah. Sebab dia ingin namanya disebut. Begitulah yang terjadi di Malaysia. Tidak boleh kalau orang lain yang dapat nama. Idea yang disuarakan dan dibincang bersama, mesti dilaksanakan dengan poster serta cetakan nama. Tujuannya meraih penyokong dan pendukung. Kalau benar pemimpin ikhlas, orang lain takkan dicantas. Pendapat bernas dikumpul, kemudian dijalankan betul-betul.
Saya tidaklah ingin menyatakan bahawa pihak pembangkang dan kerajaan perlu bersatu sepenuhnya, sebab kalau satu pihak sahaja yang berkuasa, tiadalah pihak yang dapat menegur kalau ada kezaliman. Tapi saya cuma berharap, parti-parti politik di Malaysia boleh berhenti mencaci sesama sendiri dan duduk bersama, fikir langkah berkesan agar kepentingan rakyat terjaga.

Love Poem by me. :)
" With you, months run and years so quickly gone,
When we're apart, a day is just way too long.
How much I miss you, I could not tell,
Because words are barely enough for me to express it.
Longing for you everyday feels like a living hell,
My heart cries alone and no one can see it.
I smile when your face appears in my mind,
It won't go away till I could sleep for the night,
I know how hard it is to forget you 'cause I've tried,
Somehow you're still stuck here, in my heart, so deep inside.
Maybe we are not meant to belong to each other,
You love someone else whom I am no better,
I could just watch and wish all the best,
Be happy always my dear, with that someone else.
Even you might not feel towards me the same way,
Know that memories we made together are impossible to erase.
Hear this, the girl I think about every night and day,
I love you my dear, forever and always."
So, how do you guys like it? Comments, please! And, this one's copyrighted!

Maybe we are not meant to belong to each other,
You love someone else whom I am no better,
I could just watch and wish all the best,
Be happy always my dear, with that someone else.
Even you might not feel towards me the same way,
Know that memories we made together are impossible to erase.
Hear this, the girl I think about every night and day,
I love you my dear, forever and always."
Ramdzuanny Musram

2012
Hey there. New year is coming up, and I've been so much in 2011 mode, I don't feel it's coming to get us. 2012 has been such an enigmatic number this year, with all the claims that it's going to be the end of the world.
Next year's going to be a whole new experience because it is the first time ever I'm going to celebrate new year without having to worry about school. No more classes and waking up early to school, and no more uniforms, school anthems, long and boring assemblies at the beginning of the year, homeworks and most importantly, green pants. Not having all them makes me eager to step into a new year, but that also means I will have nothing much to look up for next year, since going to school had made up most of my past years' agenda.
So, I hope that this new year will give me the chance to learn new things, gain better experience and progressing to be a better Mohammad Ramdzuanny Bin Musram Rakunman. I haven't set any specific resolutions yet, but there's one thing I want to improve: my writing skills. Insya Allah I'll be a better writer, and continue to write better things and thoughts.
Happy New Year everyone. Have a vivacious 2012.
