fat, tall, thin, muscular, genius, clever, stupid, moron, patient, impatient, has bad temper, mature, childish, handsome, hideous, cute,neat, selekeh, botak, buncit, shy, cheerful, introvert, talkative, quiet, funny, boring, strict, laid back, rude, polite, fucking asian, skema, cool, hot, nerd, geek, lazy, hardworking, disorganized, mindful, gopoh, ignorant, annoying, concerned, cheapskate, big spender, pervert, sinner, pious, naughty, macho, hypocrite, honest,......and the list goes on and on...
now i am getting more confused. what kind of person am I again?

misunderstanding
assalamualaikum...peace to all...
"effort,doa, and tawakkal"
most of us would probably have heard these words millions of time.
"I've worked real hard.yet, i failed"
"how could he/she failed?he's/she's a genius"
"i've prayed to God a lot.how could He not approved my prayer?"
ever heard or used these sentences too?i bet you did.
So what's going on here?what we've done wrong?well, i personally think that we have got that tawakkal idea completely wrong.
Tawakkal does not belong to how much effort we did.it does not belong to how much capable we are.it also does not belong to just how qualified we think we are for that particular thing which we long for.
Tawakkal actually belongs to Allah.and it is only His.
Efforts and capabilities are just like tools for us to achieve something.but whether we achieved that particular thing or not, it is under His power.and only He owns the final outcomes of our efforts.
Then why do the efforts you asked? It's because that's the only thing that belong to us.even that, we only partially own it.
See just how weak we are?even if we have all the wealth,all the knowledge, all the 'otai'ness, or all the handsomeness in this world, we can only wish for that things will happen to our willing. you are indeed a powerless creature, human! even a loaded M16 in your hand would not make you look any stronger in this issue.
This post is just to remind myself. as i am a forgetful man. i mean,hardcore forgetful. an article by a senior reminded me again about this issue. and i hope it's also useful to whoever reading this post.
But, if you are an atheist, or a big fan of Darwin's theory of evolution,where everything happened due to mere coincidences, this post would be meaningless to you then.

answer
assalamualaikum...peace to all...
couple of days ago, a friend of mine asked me a question:
"what are the differences between malaysia's education system and aussie's?"
and by that question he meant at school level.so this post is intended to answer his question.
well, from what i know, both system are indeed quite different.One of the significant differences is that here they pay great attention to assignments and course works too apart from exams and tests.and from what i have been gone through, the Australian Year 12, the assessment was made up as 50-50.that is 50% are from exams mark and another 50% from assignmnts.
the assignments include extended essays, issue analysis and presentations.not sure whether this system of theirs is better from ours.but from my opinion, it is quite good.it helps students to obtained skills other than memorizing notes.information searching skill, presentation skill and critical thinking are some examples of them.also, we get to be quite independent in our learning.as in to complete all those assignments.so this kinda prepare us for university environment.
also, each state in australia have their own education assessment board.meaning their education system too are quite different for different state.for instance, in south australia, the secondary school certificate is called SACE.whilst for western australia it is called WACE.this is quite intriguing for me though.but perhaps it is due to the size of australia itself and the size of each states.they are just huge.
hm.i guess thats all that i know.
cheers.

truth
assalamualaikum...peace to all...
وَلَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيۡنَيۡكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعۡنَا بِهِۦۤ أَزۡوَٲجً۬ا مِّنۡہُمۡ زَهۡرَةَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا لِنَفۡتِنَہُمۡ فِيهِۚ وَرِزۡقُ رَبِّكَ خَيۡرٌ۬ وَأَبۡقَىٰ
And strain not your eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment to various groups of them (polytheists and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh), the splendour of the life of this world that We may test them thereby. But the provision (good reward in the Hereafter) of your Lord is better and more lasting.
(Toha: 131)
