Sharing #2 : Japanese Greetings

Good evening, my dear wise readers!

Saturday night.

I bet most of you have plans for tonight, am I right?

Big plans like sight-seeing or shopping or anything you have been planning.

And small plans like relaxing in your own house (or room).



Well, whatever your plan is, please enjoy yourselves.

Tanoshin de kudasai. (Japanese -  Please enjoy.)




Oh! I just use japanese!

hihihi. . .


Actually, I want to share something japanese tonight.

I been studying the language since 2007 through Animax on Astro (Malaysia).

It's been so long. It's not an easy task.


Learning an entirely different language than your mother-tongue,

without a teacher to guide.



Really hard. Real pain in the butt.



But I managed somehow. =)


Even it is just the basics.

Be proud of yourself, Hidayuki!



So now, back to the main part. . . greetings are the most important ones for you to master.

The Japanese really mind courtesy, you know.


Here's some greetings might be useful to those whose starting to learn the language.

Good morning

Good afternoon

Good evening

Good night

Good bye & See you soon

Those are some of the basics. . . to conclude them all, here's a picture of what we have learnt above.

In class, I often use ohayo gozaimasu and shitsureishimasu whenever I come in. 

I don't know why, but speaking the language can be fun if you enjoy learning it.

Ganbatte, minna! 

(Japanese - がんばって、みんな！ Good luck, everyone!)

If you have anything to ask about japanese, feel free to email me, Hidayuki at hidayukimotosuwa@gmail.com. I'll be waiting! (^_^)

Today's Smile #9 - Anna Popplewell

Hello, wise readers!

How is your Friday?

Today's smile, I chose Anna Popplewell.

An actress.

Or,

to be precise... an English film/television/theater actress.

I got a smile of Popplewell

in her movie, The Chronicles of Narnia (2005).

Anna Popplwell as Susan Pevensie (2005)

Now,

here's the key for Today's Smile:

Smile, even if it hurts. . . your simple smile has the power to make others smile. - the smiley-faced Hidayuki

Magic? Maybe.

Good day, wise readers!

How do you do?

I, Hidayuki, had been living well in the new semester ahead of us.

This is the last semester of my foundation course on campus.

Next year, if I passed, I will be taking the full course of teaching.

Brilliant!

(can't wait for that. . . )

So, what's up?

Hidayuki had been hanging around The Chronicles of Narnia movies lately.

I have to admit.

C. S. Lewis really did an extremely wonderful novel.

Just like the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling, 

Narnia gives something magical

to it readers.

And now that they have adapted it into movies,

the fun has been boosted!

Do you know Narnia?

If you don't, how about kicking off with their movies?

. . . if you don't enjoy novels though.

I won't be sharing about this movie here.

Go ask Prof. Google for more info. ; )

What I want to share is. . .

a key.

From me.

It may not work all the time,

but the greatest magic exist

in the spell God has cast

in you.

The only thing you need to do is

find it deep in yourself.

Trust & faith.

- the girl who likes to imagine, Hidayuki

That day we talked all night Until the sky was white with fog As time passes, the days we spent together Become something precious to me Lalala... As the sun goes down, I stand in the same old place Even when I'm away from this familiar town, I remember Time passes and we each go down our own roads Our feelings riding on hopes and dreams The promise we made just before dawn (I feel forever...) Like stars scattered in the sky We shine now Someday we'll break through the darkness To reach our dreams I wish you happiness Lalala... I walk down the tree-lined street Like walking through my memories This familiar road continues on forever Time passes and all our dreams One by one become reality If I can, I'd like to stand shoulder-to-shoulder With you and share your happiness (I believe forever...) I'll always remember The tears shed that day It's not that I've forgotten past mistakes I'm just running through the present right now Lalala... Like a distant dream That no one's seen before My feelings will never change Wo wow wow wow Even if we're far apart We're under the same sky I am, I am ...Not alone Like stars scattered in the sky We shine now Someday we'll break through the darkness To reach our dreams I wish you happiness That day we talked all night Until the sky was white with fog As time passes, the days we spent together Become something precious to me Lalala... Lalala...

How's the song? 

I really like the lyrics...

everyone has their bright side and dark side...

本須和 ヒダユキ

Kisah Rokok dan Epal

Seorang lelaki bercerita, "Ketika aku melaksanakan solat tahiyyatul masjid, aku mencium bau asap rokok yang menyengat dan mengusik khusyukku. Setelah mengucapkan salam, aku menoleh mencari sumber bau. Aku mendapati seorang lelaki Mesir dengan bibirnya yang hitam. "Aku akan menasihatinya nanti setelah solat," gumamku. Namun, seorang anak kecil berusia sekitar 9 tahun tiba-tiba menghampiri lelaki tersebut. Terjadilah dialog antara mereka berdua.

Si anak membuka bicara,

"Assalamu'alaikum pakcik. Pakcik dari Mesir?"

"Ya pakcik dari Mesir."

"Pakcik kenal Syeikh Abdul Hamid Kasyak?"

"Ya, pakcik kenal."

"Syeikh Jadul Haqq?"

"Ya, pakcik kenal."

"Syeikh Muhammad Al-Ghazali?"

"Ya, pakcik kenal."

"Pernah tak pakcik dengar kaset-kaset ceramah dan fatwa mereka?"

"Ya, pakcik pernah dengar."

"Bukankah mereka semua tu adalah para syeikh (alim ulama') yang mengatakan bahawa rokok tu haram, tapi kenapa pakcik membelinya?"

Dengan agak tergagap, lelaki itu menjawab, "Bagi pakcik, rokok tak haram!"

"Rokok hukumnya haram, pakcik. Bukankah Allah telah berfirman, 'Dan (Allah) mengharamkan bagi mereka segala yang buruk.' Pakcik ada ke baca bismillah dan ucap alhamdulillah sebelum dan selepas merokok?" tegas anak kecil itu.

"Dalam Al-Quran takde ayat yang secara tegas menyatakan bahawa rokok tu haram," sangkal pakcik tu.

"Pakcik, rokok tu haram, sebagaimana buah epal juga haram," lanjut si kecil.

Lelaki Mesir itu pun mula naik pitam dan berkata, "Buah epal haram? Atas dasar apa kamu menghalalkan dan mengharamkan, wahai anak kecil?"

"Cuba pakcik beritahu ayat Al-Quran yang secara tegas menyatakan bahawa epal tu halal," pinta si kecil.

Lelaki itu bingung dan diam terpaku. Tidak sanggup lagi dia berbicara. Air matanya tumpah hinggalah ketika iqamat dikumandangkan. Selesai solat, lelaki itu menoleh ke arah anak kecil itu dan berkata, "Nak, pakcik bersumpah demi Allah, pakcik takkan morokok lagi buat selamanya." "

Alhamdulillah...

Idolling!!

Audition!

This reminds me of the AF9 Audition I joined last year.



Too bad the audition is in Japan.


I want to join too! (Just kidding!)



This might sound unnecessary, but...
the truth is,

I have always wanted to be an idol.

But the path I have taken now is far
far from the path to be an idol.


Because teachers aren't allowed to participated in such things.


Politics

Entertainment.

or other things not related with learning and teaching.


Educators supposed to be an example to our students.




So my dream will always remain as a dream.


Here's someone I know
who left the world of entertainment
to continue studying,
and doing her best to make her dreams come true.

Maeda Yuuka (Yuukarin)

seems to me the world of entertainment
is fun and challenging.

but Yuukarin left it for something better

I know nothing about the dark side of my dream.
Perhaps it's better to leave it
just the way I had them in mind.

Being a teacher is fun...
I got the whole school to play with.

Right!

Today's Smile #7

I'm supposed to post this yesterday.

Here's Today's Smile for June 5th, 2012 :

"This is not the end. This is just the beginning." 

Today's Smile #6

I am smiling... 

because I don't want to give unnecessary comments 

you might not want to hear anyway.

P/S: This isn't hypocrisy ... this is what I call protecting a relationship. =)

Confession ~ Today's Smile #3 ~

"Being separated from the ones you love and trust can steal the real you. 

Just a minor fall can brings you down. 

Stay true to yourself. 

No one can be you except you."
