Assalamualaikum

New entry for the month of April!

By now, tinggal lagi 59 hari je till the BIG day. Currently working on our financial matters and fitting baju nikah n baju sanding. Phew! Hopefully apa yg dirancang akan berjalan lancar dan berlangsung seperti yg diinginkan.

Anyway, entry ni bukan nak focus so much on the preparation. Just wanna share some new experiences that I have gained throughout my one year course as PTD cadet.

First lesson: No matter what you do, don’t do it alone

Here’s why. We have been taught this motto, “One for All, All for One”. And we have carried this motto from day 1 until now. So, regardless of what activities that we do here, semuanya berkumpulan. Ada wolf packs masing-masing. Tak kesah lah apa jua objektif or mission geng tu, you have to join at least one. To make you feel valuable to the group. Right now, kitorang tengah berkursus DPPA kat UM. 10 courses to be taken in two semesters. 5 courses each sem. For each course, akan ada group projects and assignments. Nak tak nak, kena juga bersosial dan berkumpulan. Takdak lone ranger here. You have to be accepted by all. And you have to sell yourself to others in order to get the acceptance. <<< this is important. Kalau tak buat macam ni, sah sah akan berseorangan je. You do not want that for the whole 14 weeks.

Second lesson: Friendship is one important element in life

Almost related to the point above, other than family, you gotta need friends in your life. You can have as many as you want or as a few as you want. Totally up to you. But you gotta have one. Someone who can listen to you. Someone who stand by your side through ups and downs. Well, you know the drill.

Through cadetship here, I have met many types of people. Glad to say that I enjoy knowing all of them. Because when you have varieties of people here, you got to know them personally. Knowing their stories, the burden they have been carrying, the experiences you can get from them. With the boys here, there are a few of them are married and still single. Since I am getting married anytime soon, I have been using this platform to ask questions about life after marriage. So many inputs and knowledge been shared.

Another thing about friendship that I want to highlight is the sportsmanship that we have. Currently we (the boys) are really into football and volleyball. Lucky for me that I play those sports so I can participate in both. At the moment, we have established EPIK FC, our very own football team. Kinda late to be implemented but this is at least what we can do to create beautiful memories among us. Something to cherish when we have finish the training nanti. If we look at it, it also can strengthen our bond or ukhuwah. Who knows in the future we might not be able to see each other. Takdelah kita lupa muka masing-masing nanti. **see the EPIK FC photo below**

Actually panjang je points psl friendship ni kalau betul2 nak elaborate. Nanti ada masa kita kupas lagi pasal ni.

 

Cukuplah ni kot pasal lessons that I have learned here.

Just want to say that I am blessed with this chance. This opportunity.

Despite all the criticisms, cemuhan, provocations, negative comments that have been thrown to us, we are still one. Still together since the beginning.
