Eulogy

Dexter's Eulogy...............
Assalamualaikum.

Firstly, When you found this letter, I may not being able to have a dinner with all of you.

Mommy and Daddy,

Please forgive me. I know, I’m not a kind of son to meet your expectation. You want me to be a doctor but I’m not that good in Mathematics but I end up my life being anchorman for Al-Jazeera Company. At least you can see me live on television.

I know you doesn’t like my wife very much because you want me to marry Keira Knighly because she is champion of Ratu Kebaya competition a few years ago. But, how can I forget Helena Bornham Carter, she was the most charming and desirable women that I want to married…

Tok Penghulu (A chief of village),

I know you want me to replace your position after you married for the 4th times because you want to give your commitment to all your wives. You offered me a acres of land behind the grave, a few kinds of cars including BMW 5-series, Mitsubishi Evolution 7, Hummer Jeep, a Yamaha 200cc Scrambler bike. I know it is burden for me to accept it but because the post of the next minister in of our cabinet government was something that I must fulfill. All ministers need a young, energetic and credible like me to be a substitute after they retired.

Tok Siak,

I’m so sorry for looses you air pressure for your motorcycle tires because I’m having fight with you to be an Imam during Maghrib and Isya’ prayer. And also, I’m so sorry because the big burning of you coconut trees during Ramadhan season.

My lecturers

I would like to thanks for everything for what ever you have done to me. All kinds of scolding, argument, anger and etc, I assume it just a spice in your methods of teaching especially to a big-head student like me.

Bangladesh

Sister nasrin presented about bangladesh a month ago. Well, her presentation was alrite but I think she was not all prepare with it,though. She seem nervous although her voice projection was clear.Her eye contact was ok but it would be a lot better if she focus on the notes instead of her slides.

Bytheway, lets talk about bangladesh. I felt like I needed to do my own research on bangledash . here's what I found. Well, bangladesh is parliamentary democratic country which means there is no separation between the executive and legislative branches.Its prliamentary systems have a clear different between the head of government and the head of state because the head of governmentis is the prime minister or premier whereas the head of state is president usually elected through the popular vote or by parliament.
The main religion in bangledash is Islam that the main reason why the Bangledash was separated from India in the past. However, before bangladesh become its own independence country it had to seek independence from Pakistan, bangledah used to be known as East Bengal of Pakistan back in 1957 ,they (bangladeshi) felt the pakistani were being bias to them .Thus,resulted in Liberation war in 1971. During that time India under the rule of Indira Ghandhi supported the Bangledahi indepenence. I found out India that India-Bangledash have a good relationship with each others especially when India provided large amount of aid to Bangledash during Bangledashi annual natural calamities.
It is just sad knowing that Bangledash is not in good term with Pakistan because both countries have one of the largest muslim nation. In the past the Pakistani and the bangledashi used to fight together against India to form muslim state known as Pakistan but once they gained independence togother,Pakistani mistreated the Bangledashi and currently the Bangledashi is siding India and Pakistan is just on its own. HOw Sad Is that? What is wrong with muslim? Cant we live together in peaceful and harmonious society?

Tasneem Eulogy

Good morning friends, family and all those of you who are here today to commemorate the life of an interesting girl, Nour Tasneem Binti Omar. Before I begin, I would like to offer my deepest condolence to the Tasneem ‘s family for their unfortunate loss.

When I remember Tasneem , there are three words that come to mind which are eccentric, joyful and persistence

I have known Tasneem or many may have known her as Tess or Noura for almost 10 years

I first met her in grade 8th Mathematics class. She was new in class however she was not shy or afraid to go up to people and introduce herself. She normally will approach other people. She has such a good vibes that people feel comfortable being around her.

Tasneem was always there to help people with their problems. She loves to feel useful and helpful to others. She used to help me with my homework and assignments in high school. She used to comfort me when I had a fight with someone. She was always there to listen, to support and to motivate me.

I remember before high school graduation she was upset not knowing what the future has in store for her, she was crying like a baby wanting to be someone. She was comparing herself to others in school and she felt so useless .Thus, she volunteered to do 2 hours of community service once week at the elderly nursery homes just to make herself feel alive. Unlike other teenagers her age, she preferred to engage herself to do things that will benefit the society. Sometimes, at the back of her mind she told to me she felt that she was born in the wrong century.

Tasneem has gone through many challenges in life and she told me sometimes she just wanted to quit whatever she is doing but she never did that. She just continues working hard to achieve her ultimate dream which is to become a journalist. She always told me she wanted to become a woman with high Islamic values and integrity.

Although, she did not achieve her dream in becoming a journalist however all her efforts has created an impact on me and her other friends. Her persistence and will power will always be remembered as a stepping stone for me to attain my dreams.

I will always remember her as a girl who consistently wants to improve herself in all walks of life. She is very genuine and real that makes people feel easy to relate to her. She is always excited to learn new things. She tried to make the best of what she had around her.Thank you Tasneem for enriching my live and may Allah bless you always.

Somalia ,presented by jannah

i supposed to this ages ago but i hav been busy with my assignment
by the way, the presentation on Somalia presented by Jannah was quite interesting. Somalia is a country that gained independence from Italy in 1st of July 1960l, i definitely did not know that . The wars that had occurred in the past and currently occurring potrayed that somalia is not a very stable country.
I think the reason somalian are facing wars in the past because the Somalian people are not united especially with the invasion of outsiders to mess up the country .However, the current war that occuring with Ethiopia is due to the conflict started by the Alliance of Mogadishu Warlords and Militia loyal to Islam courts union (ICU). ICU wanted to implement the Shariah law in Somalia but Alliance of Mogadishu Warlords are against them. Thus, the Alliance of Mogadishu Warlords had the war with their own people and ask the assistance of Ethiopian goverment to help defeat the ICU. Of course , many people was killed and injuried throughout the whole ordeal.
It's bad enough that Somalia is a country below the poverty line but having conflicts and their own people make things a lot more worse.
Unfortunately all the troublesome countries are muslim countries. Its true muslim arent united in spirit which is very sad.
Regarding Jannah presentation, well i think her presentation was average and I think she could improve by having more eye contact and high voice projection. Overall, she did her best .That's all that matter.

14TH - SIERRA LEONE

Sierra Leone or known to be known as the Republic of Sierra Leone is one of the African countries with the majority of Muslims live there. On the flip side, the country name-Sierra Leone was firstly proposed by Portuegese named Pedro da Cintra which symbolizes the meaning of Lion Mountains. Sierra Leone is located in West Africa bordered by Guinea in the North and East, Libera in the Southeast, and the Atlantic Ocean in the Southwest and West. Sierra Leone is one of the members of the United Nations, the Organization of Islamic Conference, and also Non-Alligned Movement members.
Throughout history, Sierra Leone has gained its independence form the British Colonials in 1961. Following the above situation, Sir Milton Margai from Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) was elected to become the country’s first Prime Minister in 1962.
In addition to that, Sierra Leone rich in its labor forces and other mineral resources for exporting purposes. Among some of the mineral resources that they possessed are diamonds, bauxites, irons and so forth. Due to this fact, Sierra Leone is one of the largest diamonds producer in the world.

A rebel movement group named the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) led to the cause of civil war that happened in Sierra Leone where there were a lot of corruptions did by the government and misused the country’s mineral resources. To counter this situation, the United Nations has sent its peacekeepers; unfortunately clashes happened between both parties. This civil war has led the American people to take advantage on this situation whereby they have tried to take over the mining industry of Sierra Leone’s mineral resources and forced the Sierra Leonean to work for them in mining those mineral resources especially its diamonds. Most of the time, the American people will use violence on Sierra Leonean such as, cutting their hands, abusing them and many other violence if they refused to work for them and do the mining process. In my opinion, the people of Sierra Leone shouldn’t be treated like a stranger in their own homeland, because it is them who possessed the mineral resources. And again, the United Nations will never be able to stop the misdoing that the American people did to other nations, especially a country where Muslims are predominant. They will try to divide us in many ways which seems to be worked well and once we divided among each other, they will take every valuable thing that we have including our human and mineral resources as they did to Sierra Leone and its people.

In terms of Hatice Izgin’s presentation, I really wanna thanked her for the information given, because to be frank, I am not a kind of person who’s alert on local issues not more if it is the world issues. I know nothing about Sierra Leone before. Overall, her presentation was quite good; she managed to establish eye contact with the rest of the class and I might say that she has managed her nervousness, because from my own experience she once told me that she really feel nervous when doing the presentation and many people including myself feel the same. But I think, there will always room for improvement, am I right? In my opinion, Hatice failed to speak out her voice louder. It was good that she was using the background music for her presentation, unfortunately due to her soft voice; I couldn’t really be able to listen well to her voice. The additional reason was because that music was kind of instrumental music that made us ‘fly’; and I guess it was a distraction for her presentation. GO Hatice, GO!!!
