The Walkin' Dead

Question: Do you think the age of technologies turns us into zombies ?

I guess I have to see first just what "zombies" here are in definition. You could either mean, zombies in the fact that mostly everyone is out phubbing ( a new developed term, it exists ) around, that they have no care in where they're walking faces glued to their phones. Can you imagine that? A situation where people are walking in the streets faces literally glued to their phones, I need an illustration badly now.

SO HERE IT IS THE HIDEOUS ILLUSTRATION THAT I'M TRYING TO PROVE (i just jumbled some thing up in paint and here you have it :p)
p/s those gray things are smartphones, just in case you don't understand :)

Okay so that was one definition of mine, another could be saying that technologies are turning us into mindless beings in need of brains (that's what the common zombies in movies are like). In this case, I'll have to disagree. Technologies actually brings a closure to us in the fact of mind developing. Information is widely available in techs that it allow us to understand the whole world better than ever. So we're not turning into zombies;mindless beings in need of brains. We're thinking fairly well, and maybe even better. Being exposed to the news, political, environmental and all actually matures our brain, we come to understand the different issues we're about to face and make better decisions.

But then, that's if the definition of zombies was like that.

If we were talking about the first definition i spoke of. Zombies: literal zombies. Then, probably yes :'(
I think my illustration is enough to show just how zombie-like we all are, unfortunately. So, in that case yes we're turning into zombies because of technologies.

adios

What if education was free?

#task2i
Heyya, it's been so long mister and missus, girls and boys \(^0^)/
so here goes nothing (i'll just go straight to the point)
-
Question: Should education be free for everyone ?

To make a starting point, most countries have already implemented this culture/system and honestly, it has gained positive results. I think that the most exemplary country with this ongoing is Germany which actually provides a total free, no-fee education to absolutely every single human being there regardless their race or where they're from for all levels of studying :) great, happy-learning.

Personally, I know some people right here in Malaysia who didn't have a chance to study at all due to family financial problems etc. A boy I know with this such problem began schooling at Year 4/5 and he had missed a lot of learning within classes and so he wasn't as developed as the other kids, the thing is I know that he's a bright kid and it was really sad to hear that he missed out on schooling due to "Highlight: Financial" problems.

I honestly see no problem in making education free, especially for primary schooling. Primary school helps in developing a child's brain and thoughts, maybe people don't agree with the teaching system in Malaysia now but nevertheless a child should learn, even the basic things would do.
My dad works in an orphanage and home for the poor (girls only), and I go there sometimes to meet up with the girls there and it's such a sad feeling to see that some of these girls have not yet learnt to read even at the age of 9. Why? Because of financial problems, and some of transportation.

It might be a shock if the system suddenly put out a notice for free-education in all levels, and surely it will cause a riot within the people. In my opinion I would say to take it slow, open up some community schools (specifically primary learning) for free-education, first make it open only to those who absolutely can't afford it, then if it goes on well make it expand to more than that. Free-education shouldn't be a problem if what we aim is to produce brighter students for our future. We've got a lot of sustenance to make it happen, so how about a little sacrifice for the sake of a brighter future lead by the children of this generation.

I mean, why not? :) cheerio

UNGA 2018- Sweden

Assalammualaikm wbt,
Here's a story on how our UNGA came to be.

It was announced then, the members of each group. For us, it was as many as 10, 6 boys and 4 girls (I won't be listing down the names, unfortunately)
Well, since it was probably a busy month, our meetings were mostly during the times when class teachers were absent.

With bad luck, out of all the meetings we had- I participated in only 2.
It was during those times, I fell ill, sprained my ankle and went on trips/expositions. yep, bad timing 😐
and came the holidays- I was given the duty to search on culture and religion of Sweden. I searched, collected and printed it out- the complications to me was that my smartphone was of no use and I was unable to contact the group during the holidays- so there was some form of miscommunication.

I was very sensitive with the work distributed- and sort of angry because the person on duty for costume? In the end we searched for it ourselves- so it was a loss of task, and the start of a panicky, complicating day. Since the program was to take place on that Monday, all groups gathered at the main hall for the finishing touches (setting up the board, practicing the presentation etc.). I'd like to not go into detail on this day because I was pretty emotional.
-

So, let's talk about my costume.
As we were talking of Sweden it was decided that I would wear of the colours blue and yellow following the traditional wear.
When I searched for such colours, there was none of blue so I settled with a dark purple.
On arriving at the hostel (I went for an outing with the bus), I began my alteration.
I cut of the sleeves of the purple inner, modified it by sewing, and sewed on these daisies I made on the neck of the shirt. With the yellow fabric I bought, I sewed it onto the long purple skirt, made to look like an apron.

Here's a picture of the booth and some(?) of our members

On the day of the program, we ended up setting our booth and practiced the dance (I did not participate as my ankle still wasn't well).
When the program started, all groups began the march into the hall from outside.

Before the presentation judging began, it was started of with the dances. Here below is ours, it might not be that great but I love it :)

 It was a great day, I admit, but definitely exhausting. Starting off at 8.00 am, yet our group was judged at 12.00 p.m (perks of being in the class up at the back, oh 4 Edinburgh :') )

and
so
the
day
ended.

Lots of love and wishes 💖

and she ages a year- dedication

Assalammualaikum wbt,

So I know this post is like ages due but I FINALLY found some time weeee!!
No formalities, just an entry for someone very special in her own way .e
So, let's give a round of applause to the 17th March birthday girl~
AISYAH BASIRAH 💜💗😅😆😀

So to you, kid, sorry for the ultimately maybe-too-late of a wish. I'd like to have shared this moment on social media or sth but unfortunately it is of this holiday that I promised myself to keep low on sharing anything there. Otherwise it would've been on the exact day.

HERE'S A PICTURE OF AISYAHHH!!

Well whatever the case,

happy 16th birthday.

May Allah shower you with His blessings, grant you with love, prosperity and a good life, here in Dunya and in the Hereafter. May Allah guide you on your path and may you live a life of Iman, InsyaAllah.

Take care sistur and don't miss me too much hee 😂😏

(this was supposed to be a lot longer but. heu)

the last task// random

it has been 19 days (originally written on 231217) since i last typed anything here, and i wanted to start it of with the discussion of a worldwide-or-recent issue.

i think, what i'd like to discuss is more onto feelings, depression, illness, heroism, sacrifice, love. and things somehow related

recently, i've been reading an abundant of books in relation to depression- and well more specifically-suicide. yes it is a touchy subject but, nevertheless i'd like to understand it. in the more recent days, i have just completed reading In 27 Days by Ally Marie, a paranormal romance which reminds me the change that can be caused by the simplest of actions. Some other readings i have had in relation with so, would be 13 Reasons Why, My Heart and Other Black Holes etc.

devices may be ruining this generation but with it i have also learnt things i never would have known. watching movies- specifically dramas with my mother, most of which are based-inspired by true stories, allowed me to widen my horizon that some have trouble coping with this life.  Hacksaw Ridge, The Shape of Water, Breathe etc. these movies evidently brought tears to be shed and promptly inspired me into believing more, hoping and loving larger. they portray acts of heroism, sacrifice and love for all individuals no matter the looks. and also, struggles and hope. movies like My Sister's Keeper are ones that will never truly leave my mind.
-
Well, back to the topic. I'd just like to say that people should always have another person to confide in, to talk about all the lingering thoughts. Because the longer they remain, the more complicated it is to erase. Evidently, it doesn't necessarily mean that it should be known to everybody, even one is enough. With me, that is the case.

An ambition for SMILES :D

Assalammualaikum blog!

I am completely sure that most are really bored by my posts because they are absolute in no way enthusiastic or creative - but then again I am writing in my own will _ so I'll try making them fun but other than eh I just want myself to be happy hee

I actually just wanna talk about many, many things- this blog is like a personnel- my own private place to speak out the mind.
So,
As for so long. My mother has always encouraged me to become a Dentist '' and that was ever since age 6. My mother would always put Fatimah Az-Zahra or, to be exact Ustadha Fatimah Az-Zahra Al-Hafizah-- who my dear, dear readers.. is a dentist and a hafizah. She has indeed become a source of encouragement to me during those days and still now actually but ambitions change by time.
And
As kids are it changes multiply. But, I guess as they say "you can't quite get rid of your first love" for me it also applies as "you can't get rid of your first ambition"
By now though, I have found my true reasoning in the want to apply for dentistry.

When I go to dentist, I come out feeling somehow capable of doing anything I want- it puts me at high hopes because I feel confidence flowing through every cell in my body and I just can't help the urge to smile as brightly as possible.
I think that's really what I want- for people to feel as happy as I felt during and after those visits to the dentist.

I want people to SMILE. 😁

The world lurks with danger at every corner- it causes great fear, depression, anxiety and all the reasons for a person to not smile, and be happy.
I'd love to change that- I'm not sure just how checking teeth is going to change all that, but I'd like to give it a try.

there's this thing I always keep in my mind
"be successful not because we don't want to be the poor, but because we want to HELP the poor"

Life may suck for some- but it is not an excuse to be ungrateful
because indeed there are more things to smile for than there is to frown. It's just the matter of how you look at it and how you live it.

Cheerio 💓

A wannabe poem (crazy rambling please don't mind me)

, elegance

as the wind falls on feathers

the grass it parts undaunted

the winter then blossoms

;eyes the fall of tears

in what the trees preserved

as the sun kisses earth

when the pages collide with words

;truth meets the wish

until then it is all that matters

,❤

THIS IS JUST SO RANDOM BTW :')

HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY WHATEVER THIS IS  

(fully my own words okayyy)

even though this is like so...
