Discovery Scuba untuk Hafiz, Haziq & Hakim

Salam hormat

Alhamdulillah cuti serentak merupakan sesuatu yang dinanti-nantikan oleh kami sekeluarga. Cuti raya, cuti persekolahan Brunei and cuti universiti serentak membolehkan kami semua berkumpul dan merancang percutian bersama-sama. 

Cucu Captain Khalid

Kali ini anak-anak hendak mencuba "Discovery Scuba" di Phuket. Syukur walaupun disaat-saat akhir kami masih dapat harga yang baik untuk chalet dan tiket Air Asia. Mungkin juga masa ini adalah "low peak session". 

Wajah-wajah ceria dan pucat

Kami tinggal di Porter House Beach Hotel selama 4 hari dengan kos MYR442 (2 bilik/ 4 hari) via www.booking.com

Low peak session.. hmm ...boleh dikatakan setiap hari hujan dan laut berombak kuat. Rasa menyesal pula buat scuba dengan anak2 tapi mengikut SuperDive masih selamat. Yakin boleh je la!

First jump

Buoyancy Control

Keesokkan harinya kami menaiki kapal menuju Racha Yai dan sepanjang pelayaran ombak begitu tinggi. Apakan daya dah dalam kapal... redah ajelah. 2 jam yang memabukkan... tapi sampai di Racha Yai... rasa lega laut agak tenang. 

Dive Master Mr. Michiel memberi tunjuk ajar kepada anak2 sementara sir pasang telinga sambil mengulangkaji. 

Lihatlah aksi menarik dari mereka. 

Regulator sentiasa di tangan

Hakim "on the bike" action

Ex-bikerz

Family gathering

Teringat kata-kata Mr. Michiel de Boer dari Quint Wellington Redwood ... "buy experience is more long lasting than buy things". 

Hebat cucu Tok Khalid

Tujuan sir hanyalah memberi peluang untuk mereka mengecapi pengalaman baru dalam hidup semoga memberi manafaat di masa akan datang.

Reunion V5K 87 SDJ March 2018

Assalamualaikum

Pada 17 March 2018 telah diadakan program Reunion kelas 5 Sains Kuning Sekolah Dato' Jaafar 1987 atau lebih dikenali dengan VSK 86/87 SDJ.

5 Sains Kuning 87

Seawal jam 430 pagi sir dan keluarga sudah mula bergerak menuju ke Miri dari Bandar Seri Begawan. Meneruskan perjalanan dengan pesawat Air Asia ke KLIA2. Keluarga pulang ke Bukit Beruntung sementara sir meneruskan perjalanan dengan pesawat Air Asia ke Johor Bahru.

Sahabat sir, Marie menjemput dan terus ke rumah beliau untuk beristirehat seketika.

Berdebar-debar juga rasa hati untuk bertemu dengan kawan-kawan sekolah lama samada masih dingati ataupun tidak. Sesuatu yang amat bermakna dan rasa terharu apabila lebih dari 30 tahun tidak pernah berjumpa malahan ada yang tidak pernah khabar berita. 

Ternyata usia mengubah rupa paras dan bentuk tubuh kita namun sikap dan peribadi tidak berubah. Malahan lawak jenaka dan perangai "zaman remaja" masih segar bugar di kalangan kami. "Flash back" zaman persekolahan.

Pada akhir tingkatan 4 (tahun 1986), sir terpaksa berpindah ke Butterworth.. bermulanya terputus hubungan dengan sahabat-sahabat SDJ. Hanya seorang dua yang masih berhubungan hingga saat ini memberi peluang untuk sir mengikuti alumi ini. Sungguh terharu apabila diri masih diingati oleh rakan kelas semua walhal sir seorang pendiam yang duduk di depan sekali. Err maklumlah kurang tinggi...  alhamdulillah ketinggian telah mencapai tahap normal pada alumni ini. Syyyy..

Sempat juga kami menyanyikan lagu sekolah mengembalikan nostalgia lama!

Masa amat tidak adil buat kami semua... 32 tahun tidak ketemu tetapi masa berlalu begitu pantas. Rasa tidak puas! Tapi apa kan daya sekadar itu sahaja izinNya untuk kami bersama dan semoga di tahun-tahun hadapan kami dapat bertemu lagi. 

Walau seketika tetapi cukup bermakna! Alhamdulillah segala berlaku dengan izin Allah s.w.t. dan semoga pertemuan mengeratkan silaturahim dan dikurniakan keberkatan. 

Amin ya Rabb.

SAYANG ANAK TANGAN-TANGANKAN

Sayang anak tangan-tangankan - sebuah pepatah Melayu lama yang mengingatkan kita kaedah mengajar anak melalui pengalaman orang tua2 dahulu.

Seumpama pepatah itu begitu jugalah yang kami adik beradik melalui dalam kehidupan ini. Renungan tajam, mata menjengil yang memberi makna "siap kau selepas ini" serta bilasan rotan adalah perkara biasa semasa kami membesar. Pada ketika itu sememangnya menyakitkan tetapi padu waktu ini merupakan sesuatu yang amat dihargai. Tanpa bilasan rotan tak mungkin kami kecapi kejayaan hari ini! 

Malangnya dewasa ini pepatah ini sudah tidak digunapakai lagi. Ibubapa moden lebih percaya kepada kaedah lemah lembut yang kununnya mampu mendidik anak dengan lebih efektif. Tetapi ternyata anak-anak moden semakin kurang ajar sehingga ada ibubapa malahan guru ditangan-tangankan pula. 

Senakal-nakal kami dahulu tetap hormat pada orang lebih tua apatah guru yang mengajar ilmu. Kalau guru rotan sekali balik rumah pasti dapat lagi dua kali. Betul atau tidak guru, itu tidak penting kerana ibubapa percaya guru merotan kerana mendidik dan guru betul belaka. Iyelah kalau tak pandai tak jadi guru lah kan. Mengadu pada ibubapa hanya menambah bonus bilasan rotan pula. Tetapi sebaliknya pula zaman moden ini, se-das anak dirotan, jawapnya, "see you in court" dari ibubapa yang pernah rotan guru satu ketika dulu.

Anak-anak semakin lemah mental dan manja dalam kehidupan. Hanya bijak memberi ribuan alasan. Alasan semakin banyak, degil semakin bertambah, orang tua dilayan bagai rakan sebaya.. lu wa.. dan dunia mereka hanya pada "games" yang penuh ilusi dan tidak bermakna!

Apa tugas kita semua ? 

Bantulah anak-anak moden kembali pada realiti kehidupan. Didik mereka sebagaimana kita dididik dahulu dengan menyiapkan mereka untuk zaman mereka pula. Ibubapa kita dahulu tidak berpengetahuan tinggi malah ada yang tidak pandai membaca tetapi mereka bijak menyediakan kita untuk zaman kita. Dan kebanyakkan kita menjadi manusia berjaya. Sebaliknya kebanyakkan kita berpengetahuan tinggi tetapi tidak bijak pula menyediakan anak-anak kita untuk zaman mereka. 

Hentikan manjaan kita, hadkan dunia ilusi mereka, didik jatidiri mereka, libatkan dengan aktiviti kemasyarakatan, paksa mereka lakukan kerja rumah bersama-sama anda dan pastikan mereka tidak meninggalkan solat. 

Secara tidak langsung kita mendisiplinkan mereka kearah kehidupan yang lebih positif. Sayang anak tangan-tangan sememangnya menyakitkan tetapi percayalah pada usia kita nanti mereka pasti akan menghargai dan berkata "terimakasih ibu ayah kerana mendidik saya menjadi manusia walaupun dengan bilasan rotan". Jangan sekali-kali jemu berdoa demi anak-anak kerana kita juga berharap doa anak soleh suatu ketika nanti. 

Semoga manafaat.

KEMBALI BERKONGSI CERITA

Assalamualaikum 

Apa khabar semua ? Harap semua baik-baik saja. Agak lama sir tidak menulis di blog ini atas sebab-sebab tertentu. Post terakhir sir pada 22 January 2016 di Makati. 

Sebenarnya sir berhijrah ke Brunei bagi memulakan perkerjaan baru di sebuah syarikat Telekomunikasi. Hijrah ini juga melibat hampir semua ahli keluarga sir. Dalam kata lain, memulakan kehidupan baru dalam suasana baru ...alam persekolahan baru bagi anak-anak serta rutin kehidupan yang juga berubah. 

Pastinya setiap perubahan memerlukan masa untuk mengadaptasi. Tambah pula hijrah ini hijrah ke negara lain. Walau sir biasa dengan suasana kerja di luar negara namun ianya memberi kesan kepada kemampuan anak-anak menghadapi suasana baru terutamanya kehilangan teman sepermainan, 

Kini hampir setahun setengah berlalu... sedikit sebanyak anak-anak sudah dapat mengadaptasi namun jika diberi peluang, pasti ingin pulang ke kampung halaman sendiri. Benarlah pepatah Melayu, hujan emas di negeri orang, hujan batu di negeri sendiri.

Banyak yang ingin sir kongsikan sepanjang setahun setengah sir berhenti menulis ... insyallah semoga diberi kekuatan oleh Allah swt untuk kembali menulis berkongsi cerita dan memberi motivasi dalam kehidupan kita semua. Amin.

SEVEN "C" - Characteristics Of Good Trainers

Salam Hormat

Recently, I have too much international classes which required me to fly around the globe. From East to West and back to East. Not even got chance to spend time with my kids for school holidays. Finally I got chance to take them to Pangkor Island for a short trips.

As a trainer, you spend so much time sharing your expertise and knowledge with your students; and hope they will get thru in their Certification Exam...
  Honestly I felt tried traveling. So little time with my family and my home town. I always thought that I did this because I love my job, love to share knowledge with people and got friends at most of the place I visited. However, sometime you are tight with the business people who are, of course, wanted to leverage you to make more profits. Being the human-being to the certain extend you will be breakdown. It is difficult to do training when you start losing focus, motivation and inspiration. I think I am breaking down.

Found in Internet, credit to those who create it

I found this... good to love our jobs but not necessary to love the company!!

When you felt down, Allah may send someone to boost back your motivation.... alhamdulillah I met someone who has been working for more than 50 years. His name is Dr Hj Muhammad Petro Barbeito. He is Spanish and live in Miri, Sarawak. He worked with Shell for more than 35 years as Geologist and now doing freelance training. What surprise me is ... he is 74 years old and still passionate in his job.  

A geologist is a scientist who studies the solid and liquid matter that constitutes the Earth as well as the processes and history that have shaped it. Geologists usually engage in studying geology.

We stayed at Apartment 29 Brunei Shell Seria. We shared our experiences in international training and somehow its lead to Sudan's experiences. He was in Sudan in 2005 and I was there at the same time. We shared about our valuable experience about people, cultures, food etc. One thing for sure, not everyone has such opportunities to travel around the world. He is right! 

With Mr Muhammad Petro Barbeito

Actually, I am seeing myself in the next 20 years.... am I still doing what I love to do? Err am I fit enough to do the same things like him? Somehow I remembered what Mr Jack Ma of Alibaba.com said that "Do what you do best at age of 40 years and share with the young peoples at the age of 50"... err I am sharing at the age of 40 already huh... 

Stand still means declined! 

Seven characteristics of a good trainers - 7C

Character

By character I mean the professional credentials and credibility of the trainer. Training as a career choice is different from all other professions. You need to have a passion towards training your disciples to success especially since you, as a trainer, would be responsible for several young enthusiasts’ career. A trainer faces his acid test when his students undergo their final evaluation. Therefore, a good trainer is one who considers his job a lot more than merely a source of income. If you actually start believing that you are doing more than just earning your salary, you would be able to influence and impress your students a lot more effectively.

Tuan Kamarul Azhar - founder of Ahadan Coach

Command on the subject

The second most important trait that is important for a trainer to have is a thorough grasp of his subject. Needless to say, a trainer with an imperfect knowledge about his topics is jeopardizing the careers of his students, and such a person soon loses the respect of his class. The only way you can effectively grab the attention as well as the respect of the trainees is to convey to them that you indeed have a superior knowledge of the subject. E.g. I am the ITIL Expert with industry certification and thorough experiences. 

Communication Skills

Its one thing to have the necessary qualifications and expertise of a subject and another to be able to communicate your knowledge to an audience effectively! Some trainers lose the respect and interest of their audience despite their superior knowledge of the subject because they lack the confidence and the communication skills to connect with their students. 

Tuan Syed Faizal S.Rahman

Control

It often happens that a discussion heading towards a certain topic swings to something entirely different, which distracts the attention of the class and leads to a wastage of valuable time. Now, it is the trainer's job to be on the driver’s seat and ensure that everyone is on the same wavelength. This takes not only confidence but also a lot of subtlety and tactfulness to keep the trainees focused on the subject.

Contact

The trainer must be capable enough to address the needs of every individual participant in his class. He shouldn’t allow himself to get carried away by the superior understanding and grasping prowess of a few bright students and neglect the needs of the rest of the flock. Every individual is different, as far as intelligence is concerned, so the trainer needs to ensure that everyone is progressing at the same pace and nobody gets left behind.

Mr Abu Barzah, new talented comer

Clarity

A good trainer is one who is able to make his subject as simple and interesting as possible. His language should be stimulating but prosaic. There should be no element of ambiguity. If the topic under discussion is challenging and complicated, the trainer try to go slow and be patient enough to repeat himself as many times as needed.

Mr Azhar Samat, expert in outdoor training

Charisma

Nobody is interesting in listening to the droning drivels of a boring dud. No matter how important a topic you seem to be discussing, if you don’t have a charismatic personality, people simply won’t listen. Period! A successful trainer is one who is able to enthrall and captivate his students with his words. Being charismatic and dynamic will dramatically improve the trainer's acceptability and likeability amongst his audience. They then won’t have to make an effort to listen but will listen despite themselves, and will keep up with everything that’s being taught to them.
