TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

Sandy white beach,
Clean water,
They dived better
than us,
You saw together,
witness.

Don't you miss the good old days,
When everything was really amazed,
Like the picture,
We long for such place,
Give back to us,
Do not erase,
Won't you miss everything displaced?

This is what we learn,
Human make mistakes,
So does it can be turned,
To whom it may concern,
Please don't let it happen..

Poem 4 (Activity 4 - Sending A Postcard)

I SAW SEA SHELL ON THE SEA SHORE

I saw sea shell on the sea shore,
But now it is not like before,
I wonder what had happened,
Does it disappear?
Or too upset with the development?

She sold sea shell on the sea shore,
She now no longer there,
The business is no more,
Everything ruined, she couldn't bare.

We beg you,
Don't dirty the place,
We ask you,
Don't be disgrace,
Let us start with a pace,
And together we make it paradise..

Poem 3 (Activity 3 - Receiving A Postcard)

SO I THINK I CAN DANCE

Hey friend! Still remember me?
We once met by the sea,
I was alone, you came accompany,
Knowing you made me free.

I was upset with what happened,
U were saying something, strengthened
my feeling,
I can forget her that made me angry,
I found someone that makes me happy.

At times I was dancing alone,
It was awful,
Like a song with no tone,
But now she is here,
We dance together,
Thanks to you,
I became greater.

My wooden leg is here no more,
Give it no chance,
To be like before,
So I think I can dance.

Poem 2 (Activity 2 - Sending A Postcard)

DANCING KING

We used to dance together,
Before I became a loner,
Mow I'm dancing much happier,
Without you as my partner.

I saw therm dancing happily,
They laughed and kissed hindsight of me,
Jealousy is not in my dictionary,
Don't you hope I'm begging you coming back to me.

All by myself,
I was dancing,
No discipline,
No nothing,
I now can move freely,
The picture of the man is just like me,
Can't you see,
I'm smiling.

I don't car much of the surrounding,
Why, you ask?
I'm the dancing king..

Poem 1 (Exclusive Place)

MR. HALL

O' Mr. Hall,
or should I call you by your full name,
Living Hall..

It's the place for all,
My family gathers,
We love, cry and fall,
You are the witness,
O' Mr. Hall..

While watching television,
I might fall asleep,
You keep me sleeping,
Till I awake,
You blow me wind,
Me fly wings,
In my dream..

Ramadhan Al-Mubarak..

I think this Ramadhan is the most exciting fasting month that I ever had. The first reason would be my family had moved to Kapar, Klang and this made me easier to go back home whenever I want to. Secondly, the first Ramadhan was on 1st of September. It made me easier to count how many days of Ramadhan had passed. We always know and remember the date in Georgian calendar, but it always hard for us to know the date of Hijri Calendar. And it is much easier since Ramadhan is also the ninth month of Islam. The next reason is because I managed to save my money from buying the food at the bazaar Ramadhan. I have determined not to buy any food (except for beverage and some kuih) this time. I’d rather cook since I learnt some of the recipes from my mother and my friends. I don’t want to waste my talent (???) and money. I am not really good at cooking but it is good enough since my housemates had given me their compliments by saying that my dishes are delicious. It’s good enough for me. I will improve as time goes by, Insya-Allah.

For this Ramadhan, I have put an aim to do the Tarawikh prayer every night. If I miss to do it at the mosque, I will do it on my own at home. Besides, I want to finish (khatam) the Quran before Ramadhan ends. If I can’t do it, I will make sure I will khatam before the end of this year.

Ramadhan came only once in a year and it is the month of ibadah. I hope I will not wasting my time doing nothing. As a Muslim, I also hope that Allah s.w.t will accept all my ibadah and reward me. Insya-Allah.
