Chennai (India) is over while Riau (Indonesia) is progressing
Hai,
Hope everyone is happily smiling at this moment while reading this. As distance is just a test to see how far Love can travel, well it is sad to inform that Chennai Educational Visit was over last 2nd December 2013 and at this moment the Riau trip is currently going on in Indonesia. It was really a great pleasure to be part of the India Educational Visit programme. As the group leader, I am glad to see the smiley faces of all the beautiful students from MRSM Mukah, I hope they had a great educational time with us.
We visited the traditional dancing school; Kalakshetra, shelter home and HLC International School. The students had a chance to perform their traditional Malanau dance all they way from Sarawak in HLC. The HLC students were really impressed by their "silat" performance demonstrated by Arif and Hadi. As exchange they perform for us their traditional Indian dance, music and songs. It was a great cultural exchange activities. We had a chance as well to have an interactive session with the director of the school, Mr. Naveen. We went to see the sari production area, where the government has specialized that industry for the poor to help them, thus they converted half of their houses to be saris production section. Each house has their own machines and all the members of the family contributed in producing the saris.
There is a lot to learn from India, the country, the people, and the culture that definitely touch my heart and I hope it does touches the students hearts as well. We are lucky to be born Malaysian who do not live in a slum, who don't shower using yellowish water, who don't sleep beside the road with dog as accompany. Anywhere you go there are poor people and beggars, Mr.Naveen told me that the people who has car are just 2% of Indians, I could not imagine what and how is the life of the rest. Education is the only way to escape from poverty, however, how can the poor survive when education is not free in the country. The government is trying very hard to uplift the standard of the poor and narrowing the inequality gap.
Children or little humans are beautiful there. Their smiles and laughter have made most of my days. They are wonderfully pretty, the helping hands that they give for the family is unimaginable, some has started working as early as sunrise at a very young age selling coconuts, fiercely looking at me probably thinking that I made fun of him since I was laughing, well definitely I'm not. Beautiful feelings are clearly being express in India. It is free to shout anywhere, laugh everywhere, few sad faces however, smiles come after money is given. People are interesting, observe the world as you will definitely see the beauty behind each step of your life as peace is through understanding.
I would love to discover other world again with Yayasan and I wish that we could take you to the stars but there are a lot more that the world can offer that we have not discover.Under this beautiful sky I wish you a great, amazing and bless life ahead. For more pictures click here.

BYE CHENNAI! (AISYAH'S PART 1)
Bismillah, and hello to everyone!
Our pleasure to come back again in this awesome blog to share our new experiences with you, you, and you.
Chennai, previously known as Madras, one of the four big cities in India containing about 7.4 million population is filled by many kind of people. But one thing for sure, you will see how the Tamil Nadu people are so used to practice their custom, particularly wearing saree for females. It is very difficult to find female citizens to wear nothing but saree only every time. And the normal outfitting of the opposite gender; males is collared shirt and kain pelekat/sarung or trousers.
People are everywhere on the road thereby earning for their everyday lives. Just like how I have been wondering all the time, I am sure you too will do the same once you are there when you see many people walking on the streets shoeless.
"People are shoeless because they are comfortable to carry on their everyday works like that," said Mr. Venkat, our tour guide for the first three days of our visit there.
And tell you what. You might first get annoyed whenever you are on the road as the people used to blow horn to each other, as a form of communication telling other road users that they exist on the road. This is even proven by the caption written in many of Indian owned produced vehicles; 'blow/sound horn,' such as lorry and others. But as time passes by, you will be getting used to it and somehow will be wondering if you just didn't hear the blown horn.
On top of all, this was a very wonderful academic cum humanitarian journey, which I will share in the next post soon. For photos do click here YAMahasiswa, India with MRSM Mukah

NAMASTE INDIA!
We are doing our last touch for our Chennai, India educational visit on this coming 28th November till 2nd December. I ve been looking forward to visit India. This is definitely a dream come true with the facts that I am going to share this experience with adorable amazing students from MRSM Mukah, my dearly wonderful friend Aisyah and our handsome man Syed Yassin, this is certainly a great opportunity to discover.
We are going to visit a dancing and an international schools, and interesting places. There will be interactive sessions involve and I am informed that there will be lots of festivals going on as it is still a celebration week. It will be a little cold as it is 18 degrees at night. As much as I am looking forward I hope that Yayasan will be able to reach our students and teachers of MRSM Mukah expectation.
A journey of life is always wonderful when you have wonderful people around.

BACK TO WHERE I BELONG
Got the good news that I will be one of the New Zealand ASEAN Scholarship holder to continue my master in International Business next year is really a blessing. Thus I have decided to go back to the place where I started to learn the reality of life.
SMKA Pedas is where I belong, a small school with big dreams located near Wet World Pedas. As I went back I start to realized that nothing really change here and I like it that way. My teacher Pn. Rosiah Othman is the teacher I keep in touch with till today. She encourages me a lot in all field possible from a volleyball player to a Tokoh Nilam. She is my best friend, my second mom and my strong supporter and I hope that I am able to be the one that she can be proud of one day.
The sharing moment that we had (between me, abang Hizbul and the form 5 students) last night is one of the beautiful moments in my life. I have been to many schools for yayasan presentation however that is not enough to give me strength and confidence to meet my own juniors, because they have a special place in my heart. They are beautiful students, looking at them reminds me of me when I was there in Pedas. With all the achievements and hardships that we have shared with you last night, I hope that it ables to motivate you to be a better person in the future. SPM is important but as you grow you will start to realised that "A" is not just on paper but also in LIFE. You have to realised what do you want to achieve and who do you really want to be in the future. Life is a game and only the best man wins.
Always tell yourself that you are a miracle and a miracle will always has interesting things to share to the world. Read a lot of books as knowledge is very important. Spread the word of peace as peace is through understanding. Be good to people especially your teachers and parents.
"Jangan tergesa-gesa niatmu, bersabar sampai nanti Tuhan tentukan hajatmu"
Good luck for SPM and I wish you a great bless life ahead. Thank you very much for having me.
