Event Report: Night of Power
Assalamualaikum..
I would like to say thank you kepada Abang2 yang telah membantu menjayakan packing barang2 on Friday, Pembahagian Fidyah & Iftar Masjid Al-Istiqamah sabtu lepas. The mosque and Ustaz appreciate your help and effort without u all kerja takkan berjalan selancar kelmarin.
and thank you too for coming down together to Masjid Sultan for Night of Power. i'm sure we all enjoyed the Cakap Pasal Remaja session *mcm byk yg nangis terisak-isak je :p*. hopefully pengajaran disebalik sketsa yang dilakonkan Ustaz2 kita stays in the heart and mind. it was fun overnight-ing in the mosque wif u all because dapat kenal korang lebih rapat dan gurausenda walaupun dah 2am :p lagi best waktu ramai2 bgn waktu Qiyam! that also, i hope has an everlasting effect on all of u. teruskan usaha untuk menjadi orang dan Muslim yang lebih baik. ingat pesanan CPR, Al-Quran itu adalah petunjuk bagi kita (Al-Qur'an Hudallinnas).
the following is a review made by Ust Yusri in his blog www.abahyasir.blogspot.com :
" Malam semalam saya hadiri CPR di Masjid Sultan. Bukan CPR pernafasan mulut ke mulut tu tau! Para remaja perlu tahu CPR ni kalau tak termasuk di kalangan orang yang rugilah dia. CPR yang saya maksudkan di sini ialah Cakap Pasal Remaja. Satu program interaktif yang disusun khas untu remaja hasil inisiatif para pegawai pembangunan belia (YDO) masjid-masjid di Singapura. Program ini biasanya disertai dengan sketsa, persembahan muzik (live!) dan juga sesi talk show mengikut tema2 yang telah disusun lebih awal.
Tapi bagi sesi semalam terdapat kejutan besar pada format CPR yang diadakan sempena dengan RYC (Ramadan Youth Challenge) dan dianjurkan serentak dengan Night of Power (aktiviti Qiyam). Maknanya lepas CPR belia2 ni akan qiyam semalaman di Masjid Sultan. Hebat kan? Memang hebat, acara semalam penuh auditorium. Saya rasa ada dlm 500 belia hadir.
Kejutan yang saya maksudkan ialah sesi semalam melibatkan pementasan lakonan pentas atau teater bertemakan Quran Petunjuk Buat Manusia (juga tema bagi RYC tahun ini) hampir sejam setengah ini melibatkan pelakon rata-rata daripada para asatizah muda! Ia disertai dengan alunan muzik live dan nyanyian latar oleh Ustaz Sofyan (Imam Eksekutif Masjid Mydin). Power kan? Memang power gilerr!!! Teringat pulak saya macam film There's Something About Mary :)
Story board dia memang menarik, penuh dengan pendekatan baru dan kreatif. Saya tak tahulah sape punya idea. CPR ni dimulakan dengan MC pada malam tu yang juga merangkap storyteller atau Tok Selampit iaitu Ustaz Effendi from Masjid An-Nahdhah. Wow, he's so talented man..cant believe it..really. Effendi memainkan peranan beliau dengan cukup baik sebagai host dan pada masa yang sama sebagai pencerita. Dengan membahasakan dirinya sebagai AKU, beliau menjadi pencerita antara babak2. Secara tak langsung beliau sebenarnya berlakon juga..cara beliau berintraksi dengan penonton. Superb! Intonasi suara beliau kadangkala lembut, kadangkala pula keras sehingga penonton tersentak!Terkujat pun boleh..
Adegan dimulakan dengan babak 4 sekawan, Dini (Ustaz Aminuddin-ex pegawai Masjid Al-Iman) Mimi (Ustaz Fairuz, YDO Masjid Al-Ansar), Jeff (Ustaz Ahmad Khushairi, YDO Darul Ghufran) dan Ilhan (Ustaz Syakir, Imam Eksekutif Masjid Al-Iman) berkain pelekat merancang untuk ponteng belajar mengaji, mereka kemudian lepak sambil berkongsi cita-cita mereka apabila sudah besar nanti. (cita2 mereka menjadi kisah utama sketsa ni). Mereka kemudian sepakat untuk bersama-sama seperti adik-beradik walau apa jua keadaan.
Move fwd, kesemua mereka membesar dengan nasib yang berbeza (diceritakan dlm bentuk flashback), Jeff (cita2 masa kecil dulu nak jadi model, konon dlm cerita ni dia paling hensem lah) akhirnya menjadi playboy rosakkan anak gadis orang, Mimi (cita2 dulu nak jadi ketua dalam apa sahaja perkara) akhir jadi ketua samseng bergelar Mimi parang- yang akhirnya dipermainkan oleh teman2 sendiri. Dini (cita2 dulu nak jadi Ustaz) bila besar pulak jadi anak derhaka, akibat terpengaruh dengan teman2 hingga jadi penagih. Tinggallah Ilhan (cita2 nak bantu orang yg susah) yang sentiasa muncul dlm flashback teman2 nya untuk membantu rakan2 yg tersesat jalan.
Cerita disudahi dengan penuh tragis, di mana akhirnya Ilhan meninggal dunia krn mengidap penyakit serius, tetapi sebelum beliau meninggal sempat utuskan satu warkah buat teman2 nya (yang dianggap adik beradik) supaya bertaubat dan insaf.
Komen saya, sketsa yang dilakokan sungguh cemerlang, penghayatan watak baik dari pelakon utama hingga ke watak kecil (cameo role) sungguh hidup dan berikan kesan yang mendalam kepada para penonton yang kebanyakannya terdiri daripada para belia dan remaja. Penonton di sebelah saya sendiri mengesat air mata..
Saya rasa tema yang ingin ditonjolkan berjaya disampaikan dengan baik, dimana di setiap adegan atau babak keinsafan disudahi dengan skrin yang mengandungi terjemahan ayat Quran dan diselangi dengan nyanyian lagu2 dakwah seperti 'anak derhaka, pintu taubat masih terbuka...' oh sungguh menyentuh kalbu rasanya.
Konsep tempat duduk juga tiada percampuran antara lelaki dan perempuan, terdapat watak lakonan pelakon muslimah, seorang sebagai ibu (ibu kepada Dini) seorang lagi pula berlakon sebagai Farah (Norizan) temanita Jeff (Norizan ialah isteri Ustaz Ahmad Khushairi sendiri) wah2 sungguh romantik dan manja sebagai kekasih.. : ) Sporting betul lah..
Story yang disampaikan juga tidak stereotype, budak madrasah tak semestinya baik dan boleh tersesat jika tidak berhati2, begitu juga dengan kerja dakwah bukan hanya satu tugas eksklusif untuk asatizah shj. Ia tanggungjawab semua individu Muslim.
Siapa kata drama remaja tidak boleh diselitkan dengan unsur dakwah serta tidak bercampur unsur2 syubhah ataupun haram? Melihat dari segi impak nya kepada penonton, malah di babak akhir sungguh klimaks dengan ketiga2 watak utama menangis teresak2 dengan pada masa yang sama kami semua mendengarkan isi kandungan warkah yang dibaca oleh Ilhan (Ustaz Syakir) dengan bait yang tersusun rapi, intonasi suara yang terkawal. Sungguh menyayat hati..5 ***** dari saya."

Event Report : RYCamp
And so..
Arrijal kicked off the fasting month with a 2 days 1 night RamadanYouthCamp (RYCamp). dengan jumlah peserta yang bernomborkan 25, we geared ourselves for a 3-hr community service named Do Good Feel Good. this is the 2nd Do Good Feel Good actually and the 2nd yr as well collaborating with Serangoon Garden Sec's Girl Guides and NCC *thank u alot guys*. to make things more interesting, our community service is covered by Suria's Warna Ramadan! but of course that's not the point of having this effort. at e end of the day, Arrijal and the rest did it to contribute to our society, Muslim and non-Muslim alike. we gave bubur, fruits and nasi briyani.
interestingly tho, almost 60% of the residents declined to take the things that we charity-ed! well they may have their reasons but we suspect that our community's not that comfortable YET having free food sent at their doorstep. hehe
the highlight of the first day was the Bowling For Soup! we bowled, we laughed and we hit the "longkang" more often than not. lol. lepas buka and terawih, Khairuzaman gave a hearty Halaqah session and followed it by a short Qiyam few hours afterwards with Zaidi.
the 2nd day was epitomised by the mass Gathering at Masjid Assyakirin. it was attended by 500+ mosque youths who attended RYCamps at their respective mosques! punyalah pack dan banyak org. we were touched by Ustaz Sofyan's meaningful reflection session and some shed tears. what a sight to behold.the event ended afterwards at Al-Istiqamah and the participants were given free Translated Al-Qur'an! Alhamdulillah.
lesson learnt? like what Firdaus said during the interview: "Ramadan bukan sahaja bulan untuk beribadah, tapi ia adalah peluang untuk berbakti dan membantu masyarakat kita.." helping others especially during Ramadan is a noble deed. May Allah bless us for the effort given in the camp.
enjoy the pics n vid.

Event Report: Arrijal's Stay aLIVE Night Cycling
I. S. R. A. K M .I .K. R .A. J
Abang A: apa tu Israk Mikraj? Macam Ya'juj Ma'juj je?
Abang B: mmg selalu dgr, tapi apakebende dia sebenarnya eh?
Kakak C: setahu saya lah eh, Israk Mikraj tu ada kena mengena dgn Rasulullah
Kakak D: leh ceritakan skit bro?
and so the questions and tasa'ulats (questions in arabic) go on and on. 50 youths gathered gathered at Al-Istiqamah to find a common answer; an answer to the questions above.Stay aLIVE Night Cycling's commitee aimed at exposing the mystical yet significant events that unfold during Rasulullah p.b.u.h journey that night.
but the lesson's not without a twist.they have to agree to CYCLE from MIQ -> Padang -> MIQ to pass this class! :p the night kicked off with ice breaking games at the rooftop. although the lights shied away cuz of e "trip", it didnt dampen the spirit of the committee and participants for a game of Lineup-according-to and Whacko.
minutes to midnight: the bandwagon vrooms its way out of the mosque and into the breezy night. there were shaky cyclists,the notorious racers, the steady ones and a bunch of committee praying hard for everyone's safety *the first hr was a nightmare as every1 wer settling on eir seats!* Alhamdulillah every1 reached the 1st pitstop in one piece. After the chuckles and hoo-haas of playing Za! and Blind Date Cruise, every1 basked in e comfort of the moonlight n listened to the story of Rasulullah p.b.u.h journey through the 7 levels of heavens. interesting indeed.
with the help of the fantastic road marshalls, we reached our next destination; the memorial@padang. powercheck: exhausted and hungry. after a meal n some energizers, the participants together reflected on Rasulullah's journey up n down the sidratil muntaha by asking for rahmah from The Almighty, and to minimize the initial 50 prayers.like what one participant commented: "Imagine us having to pray 50 times! if we cant even do 5, how shameful and ungrateful can we be?"
and the FINAL and CHALLENGING-EST test came next; to cycle non-stop from Padang back to the mosque.kepancitan dan kemelecetan mula terpancar di raut peserta namun dgn kegigihan dan semangat to finish the mission, we reached Al-Istiqamah with two things achieved:
ONE : TO REACH THE ENDPOINT IN ONE PIECE (Check)
TWO : KNOWING MORE ABOUT RASULULLAH'S JOURNEY AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE ISRAK MIKRAJ IS ABOUT (Check)
= MISSION ACCOMPLISHED (Check,check,check)
Alhamdulillah.thank you to the Arrijal Committee for organizing the great event, and not forgetting the participants, u guys sweated and cycled ur heart out. we salute u all. wa caya sama lu!
next, Ramadhan Youth Camp on 6th - 7th September '08! nantikan update kita..

Event Report: Euro BBQ
Question: Ever thought of having total fun bt not get out of the "u-shud-not-do-it-if-ur-a-Muslim" boundaries? Answer:Euro BBQ '08. Read on to know why ! :p
This session saw a participation of 28 youth inclusive of Arrijal members. Most of the students are participants of previous Arrijal events such as SuperFriday and Teens aLIVE. The event kicked off with 3 games aimed at testing the mental n physical strengths of the youths. From the barrier-breaking introduction to the physical game conducted by Sis Khairunnisa’ and her "twin" Raudhah (jgn marah :p).the participants were asked to move in a group from a point to another using only 3 rectangular cardboards.Senang kan? See pictures to c how well ey fared!The 3rd game “The Root of All Evil” was about taking calculative risks and the challenge of doing it in a group. They were then encouraged to reflect n relate each game to their everyday lives.
The games were followed up by a 1-hour-plus BBQ session which essentially was to bond the participants. The youths helped Bro Azhar and Muhaimin in roasting the raw food and the camaraderie can slowly be seen in this session. Who wud haf thought we got 3 cartons of sponsored turkey bacon? Kenyang abes.Two Arrijal seniors, Abg Din and Mr.Chairman, Cikgu Azemi came down and made the eat-together merrier. The BBQ ended at about 12.15am.
The youths then watched a movie called “Flyboys” before hitting the sack at 2.30am. They were told to rest before Qiyam. Exactly 5am,its quite a surprise some of the youths actually woke up early for it *bravooo*.The Qiyam were lead by Zaidi and Ustaz Izhar followed by a short tazkirah. We Prayed Subuh together with the jemaah and although most of the youths dozed off (i think 7 in total), they sat throughout Ustaz Khozin’s Kuliah Subuh. Another hats off to u all.
After breakfast, the youths had a mini-futsal session n not forgetting the all-time-fav "ZA!" challenge.The eagerness to take part in future events can be seen in these youths but what’s more important is the bond that emanated amongst them amidst background differences, and that they learn something out of the BBQ cum Qiyam session throughout the night. Insya Allah.More pics will be uploaded no worries :D
Power Clap satu guys!
*Clap!* *Clap!* *Clap!* POWERRRRRRRRRRRR!!
till then, see u all at our next event on 11th & 12th July. Keep Updated! Wassalam.

Event Report: Go Legolas!
13th June '08
It was 2.30pm and the 10 aspiring archers were hyped up for the retreat. They threw around jokes and teased each other in bus 147 en route to Potong Pasir CC. Azhar n his ol' mates were reminiscing the times of Sega Saturns and Tetrises. Danish n Fairul were flippin' thru the latest gaming magazine while Matin fiddled with his thumbs, prolly already fantasizing having a bow on his hands :p The level of excitement among these youths were obvious.

Danish n Fairul were flippin' thru the latest gaming magazine while Matin fiddled with his thumbs, prolly already fantasizing having a bow on his hands :p The level of excitement among these youths were obvious.
The trainer, Bro. Ja'far went through the manuals and instructions. Paling best was when he unveiled the 10 very very important steps of archery. " U need to have the stance, the aim, the blala but one thing archers always forget is to relax.. remember, u need to relax!" . We learnt that archery is about focus, steadyness and continous practice. si abg khai all the while set his eyes on the arrows n bow. sabar jii..
Then it was time for them to try out n put the theories into action. Ada yg tersasar jauh.ada yg tangan menggigil. ada yang menang gaya. but most of them adapted well thru the instructions n the bullseyes eventually came. bravooo! the highlight of the day was Bro. Haikal's technique. his arrows actually dipped on air (its really like cristiano ronaldo's rockets!) we joked that if he is to arrow enemies, they wun b able to dodge!
Everyone had fun n at the end of the day n gave a few gd poses for the cam (do check out the pics!). A debrief was done to remind them dat at e end of e day, its not only abt the fun but is also abt reliving back the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad p.b.u.h. Sedikit sebanyak we haf a picture of how the battles like Badr, Uhud & Khandaq were at that time. The Muslims must be very gd archers. everyone agreed to haf a follow up and who knoes, a mini archery tournament for all?
So those who missed this retreat, gear up and wait for Go Legolas! Part 2 ok? aha. thank u for reading Arrijalians.
