In the name of The Most Garcious and Most Merciful

He created EVERYTHING from NOTHING,
He can turn NOBODY to SOMEBODY
everything between as sama' and al wardh is belong to him

"Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinns and men) deny ?"
Chapter Ar Rahman

*entry 2*
This is my second usrah with Zach, the boy that resembles like me that was trying to find himself, to find his identity, to look for a place in the eyes of his friends and society as well. I believe this is a common phenomena that hits our teens during their young time.

I remember when I took a psychology class that discuss about teenager's emotion, their cognitive components, their interest, their sexually, physically, and emotion development, I remember that my lecturer did mention about teenagers that are trying to find his identity.

So as a future teacher that will deal with all the students which is also a teenager, we should not stop their quest from searching of their true nature, their identity, or return to fitrah. They might get it wrong, but do not scold them, do not mold them forcefully but what is important is that we have to guide them. We monitor their behaviour, give support, motivation and encourage them. When they did something wrong, correct them immediately because even a slightest mistakes could lead to a fatal effect on their growth.

REMEMBER : BIG fire start from a sparks of flame

So, what dis I share with him last Tuesday ????

Not much, more on my story telling and his sharing experiences.

If last week we talked about music, this time we talk about peers influence. I didn't plan this topic actually but it suddenly to to my mind and so did we talk about our friends. Since this boy have great influence from his friends and he is not able to rationalize his action, I share the story of my friends. Other than my classmates.

I have many friends, of course everyone do have many friends which comes from different background, so do mine. I share the story of my friends that are consider as samseng or in here at peninsular Malaysia usually  this "friends" known as gangster. I tell him that I mix with everyone, from the smoking, the bullies, the playboys, sexy chicks, the samseng, drug addict, emo guy which act like a freak, the sporty, free hair muslims, always loiter in the club, the gamers (which make gamers as their profession), and still I do not become like them.

But what is the most influential group is those who participate in gang and a dancer club. Its not exactly an official dancer club, it is more to recruiting people who share the same interest in dancing. At that time as I recall, shuffle, c walk, tektonik, puppet and jump style are most of the popular dance among teenagers. The dance fever hit Sandakan and they battle on the dance floor, sometimes in the club. But it is so much fun when you do it at school !

Besides that, there is one more epidemic that hit on Sandakan. The rise of fraternity. I will not talk about this concerning it is consider as 18SG elements (I rate this by myself), but this is more to gangsterism. I was even invited to join certain gang since my friend wish me to join with them, but I deny.

What am I trying to share with Zach is no matter who we befriend with, we have to take care of ourself. Take the good example, left those are not. As easy as that. Even I mix with these friends, I never regret because of them, I learnt a lot of reality of life. THANX GUYS !

Hope he will  get the lesson from me, wait for another episode . . .
