ESSENTIAL SKILLS
by: KhairudinMuhamed

Did you enjoy your childhood days? I love my childhood. Let me share with you my story when I was 4. I already miss those days. That is the essence of who I am today. the one who standing in front of you now. My name, Mohd Khairudin Muhamed was given by my lovely mom, thanks mom though you can’t hear me right now. But before that, I want to share with you a little bit about my family and me. I was born on 19th January 1988 at my home where I still living there.

A family of 8 siblings and I’m the third. I am proud to be son of both of my parents. They are so kind and take care of me when I was a little child. My brothers and sisters are supportive and very nice. We do things together, having fun is our pleasure. When we came in a cold war, our parents calmed us down.

Life move to centre stage of Hollywood when I entered a kindergarten. I’m realize that I’m famous at that time. Because? Not because I could act, I’m the tallest student at that time. My teachers paid their focus and they kept asking me question. They made me focus on everything they thought and I followed with all my heart

One day, there was a coloring competition being held. They give us a picture of yacht. As I began coloring the yacht, a boy came in hurry, he was late that day. He took his yacht picture and began coloring it. Then, suddenly the classroom was very quiet. Everyone has busy with their color pencils and the picture of the yacht.

Suddenly, “Teacher, I’m done!!” said the boy who came in very last. Everybody was surprised. The curious teacher made her way to the boy. As she arrived there, “OMG, are you thinking that this fastest one is going to win?” she asked the boy. Then she turns to everyone in the class showing the art completed by the boy. The boy just used single color of blue to color the whole yacht. Everybody laughed. At the end of the coloring competition, it turned out that I who won the first prize.

As I was enrolled into the primary school, I’m still the tallest student. Teachers keep asking me; “Are you really 7 years old?” they were curious. I didn’t realize my special height until one day a teacher measured all the students’ height. I was surprised, my height have reached 132cm at that time while others height were just between 120 cm.

As time goes by, I began having many friends. I’m happy to have them as my friends and every time I got back home, I will visit them. Hope they are fine. Be friends with them have taught me a lot of things. For example, they taught me how to swim. Most of my childhood friends grew up in the Sg.Kelantan which is not too far from my school. When the bell rang, we will hurry ourselves to the river, took off our uniforms and jumped into the river.

Although the river was so cold, it was so refreshing. My mother didn’t know that I bath in river everyday. Some of my friends were extremely brave, standing on the bridge and jump into the river. I was petrified seeing my friends taking 1-2 minutes to rise up. But as soon as they showed up, I will applause for their bravery. About an hour and a half later, we came up from the river, and then headed back home. I can’t wait for tomorrow to come to the water journey with my friends.

When my ages reach 10 years old, there was something that possesses me. Guess what? A 10 years old boy who always thinking about having fun now got addicted to computer games. My home do not have computer until 2004. So I began to step into the world of Cyber Café when I was just 10 years old. Once again I look forward to the last bell to ring. Thinking to myself, my freedom to go to the Cyber Café. I was addicted to the cyber games all the time.

At that time, the game that caught my attention the most is Star Craft. Do you know about it? It’s a Role Playing Game (RPG). I enjoy playing them along with my friends. My friends taught me how to play. I am a fast learner, just need 3 days to understand the game and enjoy playing. But in the end, the cyber Café had leave me with something that will last forever. It’s was my spectacle.

Something that I am glad is because of the computer games; I started to love computer. Make me want to learn more about computer. Today I am able to understand the computer language. So far I understand a little bit about HTML and I’m on my way learning the JavaScript.

I will cherish my childhood memories my whole life because it had brought me certain skill in my life today. During my kindergarten days, I learned that being quick in finishing task doesn’t mean the best work can be produced. All work must be done with your whole heart. During my primary school days, the Sg. Kelantan was my inspiration to swim.

Today I enjoy swimming. If anyone interested to learn how to swim, come and follow me to my hometown. I’ll teach you the traditional way. And last but not least, about my computer skills today, I am able to utilize my skills to complete my work or assignment. I have gain different essential skills that I will not be able to gain in a formal class, FOC and I will always cherish it. That’s all from me. Thank you. Back to you, toastmaster of the evening.

Hatiku Sebesar Cawan

"Aduhai, kenapakah hidup aku selalu dirundung malang begini?” lelaki itu berkeluh-kesah. Selama hidupnya, dia tak pernah merasakan ketenangan yang sebenar. Hatinya tidak pernah sepi daripada merasakan kerisauan. Fikirnya, tuhan tidak pernah sudi meminjamkan kedamaian hati padanya. Dia sangat cemburu apabila memandang sekeliling. Mereka bebas ketawa dan mudah tersenyum. Tapi dia? Dia hanya mampu tenggelam dalam dunia sepi dan resahnya sendiri. Hatinya tidak mampu mengisi segala masalah yang menghimpit jiwanya.
Lalu, selepas lelah dan puas berfikir, suatu hari dia melangkah longlai menuju ke hujung kampung. Niat hatinya, ingin menemui seorang lelaki tua. Saban hari, wajah lelaki tua itu sentiasa basah dan sejuk. Damai sentiasa bertamu diwajahnya. Dia ingin sekali meminta rahsia,
"bagaimanakah boleh ku nikmati hidup begitu juga?”. Lalu, dia terus berperi kepada lelaki tua tersebut. Masalah keluh kesah dan kerisauannya didengari lelaki tua itu sambil tersenyum. Lalu mengajak lelaki itu ke suatu tempat iaitu ke tepi sebuah kolam yang besar sambil membawa sebiji cawan dan dua bungkus garam. Lelaki itu mengikut, walaupun hatinya sedikit hairan.
"Anak muda..." lelaki tua itu bersuara .
"Ambillah cawan ini, isikanlah air dan masukkanlah sebungkus garam". Ujarnya lagi. Lelaki itu yang dalam kebingungan hanya menurut. Cawan diambil, air diisi dan garam dimasukkan. Kemudian lelaki tua itu berkata lagi.
"Sekarang kamu minumlah air tersebut ". Dalam bingung yang masih bersisa, lelaki itu mengikut kata lelaki tua itu.
"Apa rasanya? ", tanya lelaki tua itu apabila melihat kerutan di dahi lelaki tersebut.
"Masin! " lelaki tua itu tersenyum lagi.
"Sekarang, kamu masukkan pula sebungkus garam ini ke dalam kolam itu, dan kamu hiruplah airnya". Lelaki tua itu menunjukkan arah ke kolam. Sekali lagi lelaki itu hanya mengikut tanpa menyoal. Air di cedok dengan kedua belah tapak tangan dan dihirup.
"Apa rasanya, anakku? " soal lelaki tua itu.
"Tawar, tidak masin seperti tadi ", lelaki muda itu menjawab sambil mengelap mulut.
"Anakku, adakah kamu memahami kenapa aku meminta kemu berbuat begitu tadi? " tanya lelaki tua itu, sambil memandang tepat ke arah lelaki tersebut. Lelaki itu hanya menggeleng. Lelaki tua itu menepuk-nepuk bahu lelaki tersebut.
"Anakku, beginilah perumpamaan kita dan masalah. Garam itu umpama masalah. Cawan dan kolam umpama hati kita. Setiap orang mempunyai masalah, ditimpa masalah, dan diuji dengan masalah. Tetapi, kalau hati kita sebesar cawan, maka kita akan merasai pahitnya masalah itu, pedihnya hati kita dan keluh kesahnya kita.Tetapi kalau hati kita sebesar kolam, masalah tidak akan mengganggu kita. Kita masih boleh tersenyum, sebab kita akan mengerti masalah bukan hadir untuk menyusahkan kita. Masalah dianugerahkan untuk kita berfikir, untuk kita muhasabah diri. Masalah dan ujian akan memberi hikmah kepada kita.Anakku, itulah rahsiaku. Aku sentiasa berlapang dada, aku sentiasa membesarkan jiwaku, supaya aku boleh berfikir tentang perkara-perkara lain dan masih boleh memberi kebahagiaan padaku. Aku tidak akan sesekali membiarkan hatiku kecil seperti cawan, sehingga aku tidak mampu menanggung diriku sendiri . Maka, pada petang itu. lelaki itu pulang dengan senyuman yang terukir di bibir. Dalam hati, dia berjanji, akan sentiasa membesarkan jiwa dan berlapang dada!

Moral: Sahabat sekalian, jangan lah membiarkan kita lemas dalam masalah tetapi nikmatilah masalah itu. Sesungguhnya ada hikmah disebaliknya.

Hikmah Berwuduk

Ramai di antara kita yang tidak sedar akan hakikat bahawa setiap yang dituntut dalam Islam mempunyai hikmahnya yang tersendiri.

1. Ketika berkumur, berniatlah kamu dengan, "Ya Allah, ampunilah dosa mulut dan lidahku ini".

Penjelasan : Kita hari-hari bercakap benda-benda yang tak berfaedah

2. Ketika membasuh muka, berniatlah kamu dengan, "Ya Allah,putihkanlah mukaku di akhirat kelak, Janganlah Kau hitamkan muka ku ini".

Penjelasan : Ahli syurga mukanya putih berseri-seri

3. Ketika membasuh tangan kanan, berniatlah kamu dengan,"Ya Allah,berikanlah hisab-hisab ku di tangan kanan ku ini".

Penjelasan : Ahli syurga diberikan hisab-hisabnya di tangan kanan

4. Ketika membasuh tangan kiri, berniatlah kamu dengan,"Ya Allah, janganlah Kau berikan hisab-hisab ku di tangan kiri ku ini".

Penjelasan : Ahli neraka diberikan hisab-hisabnya di tangan kiri

5. Ketika membasuh kepala, berniatlah kamu dengan,"Ya Allah, lindunganlah aku dari terik matahari di padang Masyar dengan Arasy Mu"

Penjelasan : Panas di Padang Masyar macam matahari sejengkal di atas kepala.

6. Ketika membasuh telinga, berniatlah kamu dengan,"Ya Allah, ampunilah dosa telinga ku ini"

Penjelasan : Hari-hari mendengar orang mengumpat, memfitnah,lagu2 berunsur maksiat ..

7. Ketika membasuh kaki kanan, berniatlah kamu dengan."Ya Allah, permudahkanlah aku melintasi titian Siratul Mustaqqim".

Penjelasan : Ahli syurga melintasi titian dengan pantas sekali

8. Ketika membasuh kaki kiri, berniatlah kamu dengan,"Ya Allah,bawakanlah daku pergi ke masjid-masjid, surau-surau dan bukan tempat-tempat maksiat"

Penjelasan : Qada' dan Qadar kita di tangan Allah.

Pernah kita terfikir mengapa kita mengambil wuduk sedemikian rupa? Pernah kita terfikir segala hikmah yang kita perolehi dalam menghayati Islam? Pernah kita terfikir mengapa Allah lahirkan kita sebagai umat Islam? Bersyukurlah dan bertaubat selalu.

Wasallam.
