DAD - BABY RACHEL - MOM



Beautiful poem written by

a Father to save his Daughter !!!

Do read it once.............I am sure you won't be left untouched by the words ...
The last stanza, after reading from the beginning, suddenly slows down the heart-beats....




A sad Dad's poem...
This is a beautiful poem. There is an appeal from a Zimbabwean
couple at the bottom of message, not asking for anything more
than that you hand the poem on.
The husband wrote the poem.



TO MY CHILD
Just for this morning, I am going to
smile when I see your face and laugh
when I feel like crying.


Just for this morning, I will let you
choose what you want to wear,
and smile and say how perfect it is.


Just for this morning, I am going to step
over the laundry and pick you up and take you to
the park to play..


Just for this morning, I will leave the
dishes in the sink, and let you teach me how to put
that puzzle of yours together.


Just for this afternoon, I will unplug
the telephone and keep the computer off, and sit with
you in the backyard and blow bubbles.


Just for this afternoon, I will not yell
once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and
whine for the ice cream truck, and I will buy you one
if he comes by.


Just for this afternoon, I won't worry
about what you are going to be when you grow up, or
second guess every decision I have made where you are
concerned.


Just for this afternoon, I will let you
help me bake cookies, and I won't stand over you
trying to fix them.


Just for this afternoon, I will take us
to McDonald's and buy us both a Happy Meal so you can
have both toys.


Just for this evening, I will hold you in
my arms and tell you a story about how you were
born and how much I love you.


Just for this evening, I will let you
splash in the tub and not get angry..


Just for this evening, I will let you
stay up late while we sit on the porch and count all the stars.


Just for this evening, I will snuggle
beside you for hours, and miss my favourite TV shows.


Just for this evening when I run my
finger through your hair as you pray, I will simply be
grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given.


I will think about the mothers and
fathers who are searching for their missing children, the
mothers and fathers who are visiting their children's
graves instead of their bedrooms. The mothers
and fathers who are in hospital rooms
watching their children suffer senselessly and screaming
inside that little body
And when I kiss you goodnight I will hold
you a little tighter, a little longer. It is then,
that I will thank God for you, and ask him for
nothing, except one more day...............

Hi! I am a 29-year-old father.


My wife and I have had a wonderful life together.

God blessed us with a child too.

Our daughter's name is Rachel and she is 10 months old.

Not long ago did the doctors detect brain cancer in her little body.

Beautiful Hadith (Hadis yang Menarik)

A Beautiful Hadith Hadis yang Menarik Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: 'When a man dies and his relatives are busy in funeral, there stands an extremely handsome man by his head. When the dead body is shrouded, that man gets in between the shroud and the chest of the deceased.. Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) bersabda : 'Bila seseorang lelaki itu mati dan saudaranya sibuk dengan pengebumiannya, berdiri lelaki yang betul-betul kacak di bahagian kepalanya. Bila mayatnya dikapan, lelaki itu berada di antara kain kapan dan si mati.

Selepas pengebumian, semua orang pulang ke rumah, 2 malaikat Mungkar dan Nakir, datang dalam kubur dan cuba memisahkan lelaki kacak ini supaya mereka boleh menyoal lelaki yang telah meninggal itu seorang diri mengenai ketaatannya kepada Allah. Tapi lelaki kacak itu berkata, Dia adalah temanku, dia adalah kawanku. Aku takkan meninggalkannya seorang diri walau apa pun. Jika kamu ditetapkan untuk menyoal, lakukanlah tugasmu. Aku tidak boleh meninggalkannya sehingga aku dapati dia dimasukkan ke dalam Syurga.'

Thereafter he turns to his dead companion and says, 'I am the Qur'an, which you used to read, sometimes in a loud voice and sometimes in a low voice. Do not worry. After the interrogation of Munkar and Naker, you will have no grief.' Selepas itu dia berpaling pada temannya yang meninggal dan berkata,'Aku adalah Al-Quran, yang mana kamu membacanya, kadang-kadang dengan suara yang nyaring dan kadang-kadang dengan suara yang perlahan. Jangan bim ban g. Selepas soal siasat dari Mungkar dan Nakir, kamu tidak akan bersedih.'

When the interrogation is over, the handsome man arranges for him from Al-Mala'ul A'laa (the angels in Heaven) silk bedding filled with musk. Selepas soal siasat selesai, lelaki kacak mengatur untuknya daripada Al-Mala'ul A'laa (malaikat dalam Syurga) tempat tidur dari sutera yang dipenuhi bauan kesturi

Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: 'On the Day of Judgement, before Allah, no other Intercessor will have a greater status than the Qur'an, neither a Prophet nor an angel.' Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) bersabda :'Di hari pengadilan, di hadapan Allah, tiada syafaat yang lebih baik darjatnya daripada Quran, mahupun dari nabi atau malaikat.'

Please keep forwarding this 'Hadith' to all ....because
Sila sebarkan Hadis ini kepada semua ........kerana

Rasu lullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: 'Pass on knowledge from me even if it is only one verse'.
'Sampaikan pengetahuan dari ku walaupun hanya satu ayat.'

May Allah bestow this favour on all of us.

Expedition to Kuala Belalong, Temburong

The first thing that came to my mind with regard to the students on the Kuala Belalong expedition was: will they survive in Kuala Belalong without all the facilities that they have in Kuala Belait. Will they survive living without their parents? Those were the questions in the minds of the teachers.

It was a great chance for the students to learn to survive in Kuala Belalong and a chance to live in the jungle and gain a good lesson about our beautiful forests. These days, the younger generation never really knows what is behind the scenes on such expeditions.

So here are some of the insights into the Kuala Belalong field trips for the benefit of parents and other students of SMPW who are about to embark on their own study trips to Belalong, in Temburong District.

About 20 students from Sekolah Menengah Perdana Wazir (SMPW), Kuala Belait, from 5 Science, 5A and 4 Science, were accompanied by two teachers, namely Miss Lee Sii Chin from Science Department and Ck Yong Kah Foong from the History Department.

The expedition was hosted by the University of Brunei Darussalam which sent two facilitators to accompany the students and teachers at the Kuala Belalong Field Studies Centre (KBFSC), Temburong.

The expedition provided an opportunity for the students to gain experience and knowledge about the natural environment, the history of the Brunei forest and also to understand the ecology of the Belalong rainforest. It also guided the students and the teachers towards an awareness of the importance of forest conservation.

The four days spent in KBFSC, provided the students with a lot of information about the habitat of the rainforest as well as the river ecosystem which is part of the subject that is covered in their “O” level syllabus.

The journey from Bangar to the Outward Bound Centre and the ride on a boat called “Temuai” was an enjoyable journey. It was beautiful scenery with the sounds of the river and the songs of birds and insects that the students had never heard before, living in the town in Kuala Belait.

When the students arrived in Kuala Belalong, the facilitators briefed them on the rules and regulations of the centre during their stay. During those four days spent there, it was not a holiday or a vacation trips for them. Instead, they examined several specimens collected from Belalong field studies.

On the first night of their stay, they were briefed on the history of KBFSC. It was an interesting presentation done by the facilitators. They mentioned the forest cover found in the field studies centre which was something that the students had never heard about before. Most of the forest found in Kuala Belalong consists of mixed lowland Dipterocarp forest.

The next day, the students took part in an intensive field study trip to the jungle on the Ashton Trail in the morning. The students spent hours trekking through the jungle and recording their findings. They also learned about the different strata of tropical rainforest layers, made observations about the creatures that live on the leaf litter, the food chains of the habitats, and the cycle of natural changes that are happening in the forest all the time.

Besides that, the UBD facilitators also conducted a short briefing in the jungle, so that the students would know about the ecosystem around them, and be aware of the characteristics of the plants. They also examined several types of habitat found in the jungle, different types of insects and also different types of fungus found along the trail. The intensive expeditions left the students with little rest during the day and nights in Belalong.

During the rest in the afternoon, the students were given the opportunity to have a swim in the river for an hour. It was a great experience for the students and something which they had never done in their hometown, swimming in cold river water.

In the evening, students then presented a report on their findings and what they had learned from their jungle treks. After they had presented their findings, the UBD facilitators conducted a short briefing on stream ecosystems which was conducted for their practical investigation the next day.

The practical investigation of the stream was done at Sungai Esu. The main objectives of the research were to determine the diversity of macro invertebrates at Sungai Esu, to investigate the correlations between the macro invertebrates found and the biotic factors measured, and to determine the quality of the stream water based on the data of macro invertebrates sampled. On the field investigation, students made general observation of the characteristics of the stream within their site, took water and plant samples, made an estimation of the canopy cover using an instrument called a densitometer, made a record of the pollution level using the Water Quality Index to assess the water quality, and recorded their findings in the field.

Students were separated into four groups and they were given some group coursework. They were supervised by their teachers and the UBD facilitators. After completing the coursework tasks, they were taken by the facilitators and tour guides to the inner parts of the stream where they got the chances to see the beautiful waterfall known as Sungai Esu Waterfall. They were also given time to have a swim in the waterfall.

After the trip, they were given a short rest and in the afternoon, they were taken to the canopy walkway near the national park. It was a great expedition experience in which they had to climb a slope with a height of 1500 meters. When they reached the destination, they were given a chance to climb up the canopy walkway even though it was a rainy day. It was a special experience for them and it was great scenery which the students had never encountered before. From the top of the canopy walkway, they got to see the scenery of a real V-shaped valley which they had learned about in the Geography syllabus in the river processes topic.

On their return from the canopy walk, they were given a short rest and then they were surprised by the UBD facilitators when they had a brainstorming session to prepare for their presentation on their research findings.

At times these sessions lasted through the night, depending on their presentations. From this research and the presentations, students experienced first hand and understood the basic need for such an investigation to be done by researchers to obtain all the essential information.

The study expedition to Kuala Belalong Field Studies Research left a great impression on the young students, and will maybe arouse interest in them to become researchers in the future. Some of them said that they want to come back to Belalong as voluntary researchers during their long vacations after their “O” level exams.

From the field studied, students get the opportunity to experience something that they have never experienced before and possibly will never experience again in their lives. The study expedition not only teaches students the value of teamwork but also helps them to gain knowledge of the diversity of the forest ecosystem.

Those who work day in and day out in the concrete jungle will never be able to appreciate the great treasure of Temburong, found in the forest at Belalong. The abundance of the flora and fauna and numerous animal species in Temburong remind us of the true value of our forest and why we must preserve it for ourselves and future generations.

Hopefully in the future the young generation will be able to appreciate the beauty of the natural environment and also be able to conserve the forest and understand the need to protect its ecosystem.

The Manukan Island Resort

Manukan Island resort is located off the coast of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah which provides an island gateway with luxurious accomadation options which was managed by Sutera Sanctuary Lodges. A 10 minutes boat rides from the city of Kota Kinabalu. And Manukan Island is the second largest island of the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine National Park.

On the arrival to the Manukan Island resort jetty, the island is well equipped with facilities like souvenir shop, restaurant, sundry shop, washroom with shower cubicles. As for us, we took the outdoor tables and seats which are provided free for use.

There are also chalets for rental and booking can be made at the Sutera Sanctuary Lodges. However, we did not rent the chalets since we just went there for relaxation and had several activities like snorkelling, diving, banana boat ride, parasailing etc. My friends did the snorkelling and they experienced the beautifulness of the reefs at Manukan Island and enjoy the clear water along the beaches which offers easy access to the life of the marine creatures that live in shallow waters. Through snorkelling, my friends spent hours exploring the many different corals, where fishes live. By snorkelling around the shallow waters of Manukan Island is like submerging in a huge aquarium, fishes can be seen happily swimming with them.

As for me, I enjoyed the long white sandy beach facing the mainland and coupled with the sunny sun of the topic, this is a gorgeous place for a great suntan. However, I did not go there for a suntan because it might take a few days to heal if I got sun burn. I just enjoyed the scenery by relaxation at one of the outdoor table and seat near the souvenir shop by reading novel to release my stress and tension due to long period of workloads. Beside that also I enjoyed the stunning view of the other islands and trees and plants of the tropical forest.

After a long period of relaxation and had our picnic break, then we decided to enjoy other activities which was provided by the tour agents like the banana boats ride, parachute sailing and underwater sea walking. Scuba diving can also be arranged. As for us, we only took the banana boats ride and parachute sailing.

So, who ever read this article, if you feel tired of the hustle and bustle of the city life? Why don’t you try the island? Manukan Island is the perfect place to unwind and rejuvenate one body.
