Greetings from Gombak

Assalamualaikum and as the title

stated, greetings from Gombak. My

name is Idlan Zahari and for those

who know me, knows that I was a

student from Kulliyah of Science. But

I wasnt just a student; I was alsosupposed to be the new Head of

Public Relations and Information for

SCIENCESS 2012/2013, which would

explain why I was given this

opportunity to write for ERUDITION.

Its a shame, truly, that I could not

fulfil my role as the Head of PR and I

since I had so many plans and

dreams for SCIENCESS. However, I

had to sacrifice these dreams for a

personal one.This personal dream of mine (which I

want to keep private) was the

reason why I transferred to Gombak

and now a student of Human

Science Department. I had to switch,

not because I could not handle the

science subjects, but because I

simply dont enjoy studying it

anymore. I dont think that I could

handle learning something I dontlove for another 3 years. I do

however enjoy being a student of

KOS.

I missed a lot of things from KOS. I

missed how you are surrounded by a

great group of close friends from

your own batch in each class

(weirdly, this is not implemented in

Gombak. Your classmates can be

from different departments so you

have to make new friends always) orhow you dont have to rush forpre-

registration since you can always do

it when next semester comes. I

missed the great events that I would

no longer be a part of (I was in

almost all the events last semester;

IBG, Taaruf Week, MOCIS, etc) and I

missed my friends at SCIENCESS who

I hope is and will be doing a great

job for KOS this year. But most of all, I

missed my life in Kuantan, beingsurrounded by my peers from Batch

Awesome and CTS 112 and anyone I

consider a friend. The fun things you

do. It will be hard to find something

similar to that here in Gombak.

I would like to apologize to those

who had counted on me for

SCIENCESS and other societies in

Kuantan. I wished there was a way

for me to help out from Gombakand if there is, just call me. I might

not regret changing my course but I

do regret not being a part of

Kuantan anymore. I hope for the

best for all in Kuantan especially the

societies I was a part of; Faciteam,

PGG, Wawasan Club, Wackos and of

course, SCIENCESS. I also wished my

friends and students of Kuantan to

enjoy themselves and the best in this

world and hereafter . Hope to see

you again.

Missing Kuantan,

Idlan

Sharing moment session with Bro Zack

How do you know

about IIUM in

the first place?

It all started after I finished my

SPM. I really like biology but Idont want to be a doctor. So I

called my counselor in my

previous school and she advised

me to continue my studies in

Biotechnology at IIUM. At that

time, Biotechnology was

considered as a new field and a

new prospect so it actually suits

me. That was when I decided I

want to be a part of IIUM family.

Wackos was actually an idea

initiated by one of my senior

Sister Hidayati. She entered an

Environmental Awareness

Campaign and had to come out

with an idea on how to increase

environmental awareness

among students.So she came out

with an idea to provide a

resource center so that they can

insert the

environmentalawareness among

students in the resource

center. Turned out, she won the

competition and as the prize of

the winning, she had the chance

to make the idea come true.

What is Wackos?

How was life back

then when you were

a student?

I spent 2 years in Gombak and 2

years in Kuantan, so I really got

the chance to experience the

best of both worlds. IIUM

Gombak was livelier and hadbetter facilities while IIUM

Kuantan was still very new and

was lacking in term of facilities

and staff.

Despite the hardship we face

back then, our students werevery motivated and very

independent. There were as if

no batches and no difference

between junior and senior as we

mingled with everyone.

Lucky for us that our relationship

with KOS staff was very great.

We receive a lot of support from

our Dean, Head of Department,

and most of all our Assistant

Director Brother Malik who was

very supportive and very

generous in term of grantingbudgets.

What was your most

precious memory with

IIUM?

I miss all the fun and excitement

I had with all my friends

andthe time we spent

together was considered most

precious to me. And truth be

told, I really miss playing Futsal

with my friends at OSC parking

lot in the evening, before it was

built.

A little word of

wisdom to thestudents

My advice to all the

student is you should bemore proactive in the

right direction. Appreciate

your time and use it

wisely. Undergraduate

only come once in a

lifetime. Last but not

least, respect the your

elder and love the

younger.

I am a proud KOS product.

So should you !

I tend to see cooking as art. I likethe idea of selecting different

ingredients and putting them

together to produce something

beautiful. While this may sound

almost `mechanical', I say that the

work, like many things I enjoy doing in

life is really far from that. Like painting

(one of my other passions), I

do believe beautiful things

are results of passion, love

and hard work with technical

details taking a back seat.

There's always something

bland about being

completely focused ontechnical perfection only,

which lacks romance in its luster.Now,

am I really good in cooking? Honesty,

I don't know. I just know I love to do

it. When my dish comes out as I like it,

then I'm the happiest fella in the

world.For the record though, as this

question was motivated somewhat bythe sciencess "masterchef

competition" last semester; I'd like to

say something on it. While technically

my team won, in truth, I thought that

some of the student teams produced

extremely delicious dishes. Given

their young age and other challenges

faced on that day, with such

wonderful food they prepared, I

honestly felt that they were really the

winners. I did not think my cooking

was much better than theirs. My only

real personal triumph in that

competition was to have

managed the opportunity to

work with my dear friend Dr.

Suryadi and produced

something I was really happy

with, though perhaps not

any much more delicious

than some of the other

teams'.Thinking about it, in some

ways, I guess its the same reason why

I do scientific research; to be able to

put together whatever little

knowledge I have of things to result in

a new scientific discovery. It may not

be much, it may not be groundbreaking science, but if its decent and

beautiful, then I'm happy to have

been part of it.

Assalamualaikum and greetings I bid to you , the reader of Erudition . Before that , I want to

congratulate the new Erudition team for the comeback ! You guys totally nailed the promotion

through Fb and blog . I hope this brand new season is as hot as fire .

Now where are we ? Oh yes .The wacKOS . By now ,Im sure you guys have heard bout it . Its

like the basic knowledge of being a KOS student ,aint it ? You must be wondering where does

the word wacKOS came from . Let me tell you about it . It is actually came from the word wacky

+ KOS = wacKOS. Meaning to be a spot where you can relax after a day full of classes and mould

a better bonding in this kind of surrounding.

WacKOS is initially a students drive program that intended to form a lounge to provide a

leisure space for students activities. Thus, in preceding the idea, the group of students

presented their idea to Bayer Young Environmental Envoy (BYEE) and won the competition in

objective of environmental awareness. In realising the motives of building a students lounge

and promoting the environmental awareness campaign, the idea was carried into Maxis

Cyberlinq Competition in 2007 as a way to generate money. Through these achievements, the

money was used to improve the condition of the wacKOS. With a stable initial financial source,

the wacKOS is upgraded with several basic needs and facilities. Few couches, bookshelves,

books, journals and magazines were provided.


13/25


13 | P a g e

With that idea in our mind , We would like to continue their dream of seeing the wacKOS as the

prime center of students activities , in our own version . It is going to be a place where you can

do anything you want and express everything you feel there.A space to gather with your friends

and make memories together.

I dont really want to kill the thrill , but I will tell you some of the improvisation we are planning

to do . In order to give you guys a chance to show your hidden talent , we will build a mini stage

near to the exit door . A mini caf is going to be established to accommodate it with hot and

cold water so you can make a drink whenever you want . A few exciting and more fantastic

games will be provided at the game area . As to induce a sense of sentimental value , we will

make the wacKOS as a gallery for us to recall back all the legacy and history we have made .

Hence when we came back after 10 years , we can reminisce back all the good and bad

memories . Some activities will also going to be held such as Open Day and Movie Night.Plus ,

the kiosk will be moved into the wacKOS too !

I guess thats allfor now people. I wont let anymore cat out from the bag. Just wait for the

surprise. What we really anticipate from this project is the support from you people of KOS .

We want all of us to see this project as the realization of a generation of students and a

reflection of values,upon what we are made of.We think this as a project that created by

students , for students . What a pleasure to be in team!Thank you Erudition for this opportunity

. It is an honoredto be the highlights of this new season.Brace yourself , the wacKOS project will

be the next magnet of revolution , a switch of changes for all of us !

1. For brothers, long sleeve,

collared shirts are supposedly worn

with slack pants while t-shirt are bestworn with khaki, corduroys & jeans.

2. Small-checkered shirt is more

suitable on men with petite figure

while big checkered shirt suits men

with larger figure.

-FirdausShahrum, Biotechnology.

1. Designed hijab with designed

shirt or bajukurung. Youll end up

looking like a forest.

2. Wearing skinny jeans

especially for the people

who wear hijab. Its like

youre only wrapping your

legs.

- MaslinMuntari,

Biotechology.

I dont like to see sisters wearing tight cloths

and striking colours. It will attract other people

-Wani, CTS.

The brothers should not wear shirts that

havent been ironed nor lowered their

jeans.

- Syuhada, Biotechnology.

For sisters, they should not wear tudung

with humps, youll look like a camel

- Farihin, Biotechnology.

Also for sisters, they should not wear their

APPLICABLE PRACTICES OF

OUR PROPHETS EXAMPLE WHILSTRECEIVING GIFT FROM OTHERS.One day a non Muslim woman came

to Rasullullah SAW while he was witha few companions. The woman came

with a couple of

oranges as gift to

Rasullullah. The fruits

had a very appealing

look which can attract

anyone who set eyes

upon them. RasullullahSAWgladly accepts the

gift with a big smile.

The strange thing was,

Rasullullah SAW ate

the fruit all by himself.

Slice by slice he ate all the oranges

and smile to the lady after every bite.Its very common that everytime

Rasullullah SAW receives a gift from

someone he would share it with his

companion and he never ate any

food all by himself. This strange

behavior puzzled all the companion

and wonder why would The Prophet

SAW behave as such?

After Rasullulah finished the last bit

of the oranges, the lady's excuse

herself. The

companion of

Rasullulah SAW

cannot contain their

confusion anymore

and ask Rasullullah

why did he behave as

such? Rasullullah

replied Did you know

that the when I take

the first bite, the

oranges that the lady

gave me actually

tasted really sour. If I had shared it

with all of you, I fear that some of

you might tend to react negatively

and hurt the ladys feeling. Thats the

reason why I ate all of it alone.

The strange thing

was, Rasullullah SAW

ate the fruit all by

himself. Slice by

slice he ate all the

oranges and smile to

the lady after every

bite.

21 | P a g e

What a beautiful

personality that our

prophet had. He never

belittled anyone givingeven though the

oranges tasted awful

but he kept his smile

and ate all the oranges

so he won't hurt her

feelings. We can set

this as an example in

our daily life. How many times did wereceive something from another

person and thanked

them or smile to

them. Never should

we belittled anyonegift even though it

was a very cheap gift

or an ugly one. It does

not matter what they

give. The act of giving,

that matters. Not how

much the gift cost

them.

The act of giving,that matters. Not

how much the gift

KATAKAN TIDAK PADA AKUTIDAKPEDULISMEBy : Anonymous

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim..Alhamdulillah atas nikmat Islam yang mampu kita

kecapi hingga hari ini. Jika bukan kerana titik peluh Baginda SAW, mana

mungkin Islam tersebar ke pelosok dunia. Jika bukan kerana hebatnya Baginda

SAW memerintah dan mentadbir Madinah, nikmat Islam tidak mungkin dapat

kita rasa. Madinah; sebuah Negara Islam yang pertama, urusan politiknya

ditadbir berlandaskan Islam, permasalahan masyarakat diuruskan berlandaskan

nas Al-Quran dan hadith, hidup harmoni sebuah masyarakat berbilang bangsa

dan agama di bawah lembayung Islam. Ini sejarah yang kita banggakan,

justeru mengapa tidak kita berusaha untuk menghidupkan kembali sejarah ini

dalam arena pentadbiran negara kita sekarang?

Politik, pilihan raya, turun undi. Perkataan-perkataan ini seolah-olah menjadi

berhantu untuk disebut dan dibincangkan dalam kalangan mahasiswa.

Bagaikan ada tembok cina pemisah antara mahasiswa dan politik. Takutkan

AUKU? Atau kerana dirasakan politik ini kotor? Atau kerana sikap

akutidakpedulisme yang dianuti mahasiswa? Kita mahasiswa agen

perubahan. Kita yang mempunyai daya intelek yang tinggi, amat rugi jika tidak

mampu menjadi salah seorang penyumbang untuk masa depan negara yang

lebih baik. Setiap undi nilainya sangat tinggi. Satu undi menentukan majoriti.

Satu undi menentukan siapa yang menawan kerusi. Kita yang menginginkan

perubahan dalam kepimpinan negara, perlu melakukan sesuatu untuk

perubahan yang kita harapkan.

Pesanan pada mahasiswa yang langsung tidak ambil peduli. Jangan terlalu

ghairah dengan dunia akademik, dunia keseronokan remaja, dunia sweet 19,


23/25


23 | P a g e

sampai tidak cakna isu langsung. Malaysia tempat tumpah darah kita, maka

menjadi tanggungjawab bersama untuk kekalkan keharmonian tanpa mengira

siapa kita.

Ayat yang selalu diungkapkan mahasiswa, "aku x minat sangat politik ni....

tunggu aku kerja nanti baru nak mengundi..... politik urusan orang dewasa, kita

jangan masuk campur.". Kalau rata-rata anak muda ada mind setting sebegini,

apa yang akan terjadi pada masa depan negara? Kelihatannya mungkin

seperti small matter.. x pa, aku ja tak mengundi, orang lain mengundi dah.

Bayangkan sekiranya 5 ribu mahasiswa bermentaliti sebegini, apa yang akan

terjadi?!

Kesan daripada pemimpin yang tidak layak dan amanah menjadi ketua amat

berat, seluruh kehidupan kita akan terasa. Kita semua inginkan kegemilangan

Islam dijulang, nak persekitaran Islam untuk diri kita, generasi bawah kita, tapi

apabila masuk bab politik, semua nak tolak tepi. Sedangkan melalui wasilah ini

sahajalah yang terbaik sekiranya kita nak rasai undang-undang Islam terlaksana

di Malaysia. Sudah cukup lama Malaysia ni beridentiti Negara Orang Islam,

bilakah masanya pula nak betul-betul jadi Negara Islam?

Fikir-fikirkan dan selamat berubah~
