ISICaS 2015 with Kyoto University


Bismillah hir rahman nir rahim

Actually i did not expect to attend this seminar as a commitee member due to my duties at the college. Unfortunately, my name was been listed by our class representative as commitee member. I only know it when the lecturer in charge create a Whatsapp chat group and added me in! Ayya.. its so difficult to me to refuse the job because it seemed like they really need commitee members among us. So, okay.. i accept the task as a writer (?) or in Malay we called it Pencatat Seminar.

Ok, so, this is the seminar which i attend only half a day instead of 2 days seminars. Huhu. (Look, i've told u that i'm busy right now!)


So, those are the presenters from the first session in the morning. From 8.30-10.30 a.m. I was really impressed with the japanese students who were seriously focused on their research on Islam and Muslim world. Besides, this is the first time i sit and listen carefully to the presentations delivered by foreigners. And the guy name Hiroyuki Shiomi has learned Persian language in order to research on Irani's Politics! Could you imagine that? Fuh. Their passion in doing research make me ponder.. why me as a Muslim do not do my research, my job, my amanah as serious as they were? In fact, I who should be more critical and serious than them. Huh, shame on me!

The second thing that i got from this experience is semangat to present papers in English Language. Why not? I have to do it because it will help me improve my english written or spoken. Other is, this is the time i have to overcome my fear of the language and crowd. Just look at the lady name Midori Kirihara who were not speak English fluently but she can stand in front of us in order to tell us her findings. So, my intention is for the next seminar i want to try present it in English. Let people say.. (or actually they not! sendiri je peghasan.. hahah)

Oh Allah, I ask you forgiveness for the time and energy that i wasted before. In the name of you, i'll do my best in my life in terms as a student, a wife, a mother and also a God's servant.

Amin.

p/s: Many thanks to my hubby who urges me to attend the seminar even i had a faculty meeting that morning!
