Aku Dalam Dingin Dalam Kelam

Assalamualaikum wbt dan salam sejahtera.....

Sedikit putaran kata, buat yang sudi merasa.

-------------------------------------------------------

Aku dalam dingin dalam kelam
Kala suria berlari tinggal langit hitam
Ternoda pada kata, terguris halus jiwa
Halus dari nyata persepsi sebelah mata

Aku dalam dingin dalam kelam
Bukan cuma gerhana menghijab mata malam
Dan kelip bertebar mencari putranya
Tidak tersedar terolah parasnya

Aku tetap dingin tetap kelam
Jika cahaya terbiar padam
Tapi sinar itu dari Tuhanku
Mencerah memancar memayungi aku.

---------------------------------------------------

Semoga suria dan purnama bisa mencari cahayanya semula...
Pada Allah terus terus teruslah kita berdoa.
Amin.

Food poisoning "song"

Salam...
Just a feel an impulse to share this ridiculous "song" I stumbled upon in one manga,

"Its a cafe with a lovely tasting tea two of us (are) enjoying at the same time...
Enjoying the same sweet, two of us, together always,
But why am I the only one with food poisoning????"

Its supposed to be the "bittersweet feeling of love".

Story Books with Sign Languange "Translation"

Assalamualaikum wbt and good day everyone....

This means "Assalamualaikum" .

My mom has finished her Degree in Special Education and she had sign language course. As an assignment she had to make up a story as a schoolchild would, but she has to provide sign language translation of the story. I helped to illustrate the signs for that assignment. We included the full text of the story, and on the other page we arranged the signs and underneath the signs we indicate what individual signs means.

One day mom said that the might want to write children stories or adapt simple folk stories, translate them properly to proper sign languages like BIM (Bahasa Isyarat Malaysia)/ MSL (Malaysian Sign Language) or KTBM (Kod Tangan Bahasa Malaysia) and publish them as story books. I used to help her illustrate, so I was really excited to help with the signs, or perhaps we can include big colourful pictures illustrating the storyline too!

For my dear friends who have family members / friends who use sign language... (because they are deaf/mute/ just for fun)... do you think this will be helpful?

• For the deaf/mute children, they can have fun reading stories with picture and still be encouraged to use proper language, increase their vocabularies and associate the words with the signs.
  
• For educator, as a teaching tool.
• For parents, can use to practice to sign, or can even assist in reading bedtime stories to child!
• Friends and anyone interested also can benefit from the book....

(It all about education and improve signing skills but not just for the child.)

Or do you think, as a book is for reading, might as well let it contain just words... signing should be taught by action, not reading.......

Or do you have any suggestions? Or have you ever find books like this before???
Educators, any take on this?


Thanks for your support!!!! We are really looking forward to commence this project! (It will be in Bahasa Malaysia by the way.
