Getting Started: Pesanan Ayah

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

My friends has started their moves, so I'm planning to blog again. Let's start.

Today, I spent 6 hours of my time with dad. Dad shared a lot of things from education to career to marriage to religion to politics to business to family to hobbies to life experiences.

“Ayah dulu nak duduk oversea je, tapi sebab fikir anak-anak perlu dapat didikan agama, tak jadi, Ayah hantar ke sekolah agama. Pendidikan agama ni paling penting, supaya kita tahu dalam hidup ni apa kena buat, kenapa kena buat itu ini.”

“Ayah tak kisah nak kahwin dengan siapa, asalkan agama ada, akhlak baik. Tak kisah bangsa apa, Tuhan cipta semua manusia ni sama je.”

“Percaya cakap Ayah, rezeki ni semuanya totally terletak pada Tuhan, kita kata la macam mana pun, kita boleh plan tapi semuanya Tuhan yang bagi, Ayah dah experienced macam-macam sepanjang Ayah hidup.”

“Nak jadi the best dalam career ni, tak boleh paksa-paksa, kena ada minat dalam bidang tu. Kawan Ayah degree dalam Civil, tapi minat buat coding, mintak Ayah ajarkan, sampai sekarang buat coding.”

“Dalam belajar ni, cara penyampaian juga penting, ada orang explain cara macam ni tak faham, tapi bila explain cara lain terus boleh faham. So kena varietykan, kalau tak faham dalam kelas, cuba pergi YouTube search video, kalau tak boleh cari website yang bagus, kalau tak boleh cari buku teks yang lain. Tu gunanya Internet, bukan setakat social network je.”

Those are some glimpses of our conversations.

Dad's advises was always meant for your own good. Try read Surah Luqman.

"And (remember) when Luqman said to his son when he was advising him: "O my son, do not associate (anything) with Allah. Indeed, association (with him) is great injustice."" [Luqman, 31: 13]

Right now, I'm getting all fired up. Midterms was done, next week is my TOEFL retake test. I'm aiming for the highest score I'm capable of.

This is my first step on getting started.

I'll label this post with “ImLog”. Why ImLog? Simple, “Im” comes from my own name, Imrani while “Log” can be defined as journal or official record of events.
