Bismillah. Assalamualaikum. Hai guys. I'll share about my two days seminar on LGBT awareness at D' Village Resort, Ayer Keroh, Melaka from 13 to 15th of December.
I went there with K Yana and her family on the evening of the 13th. We have to get there by night for the final meeting and to check on everything, we arrived around 10pm. I actually know no one there, because it is a national event so many of us came from different states and okay, i'll make new friends there :)
The first day was packed until night and few breaks. Since i performed solat jamak dan qasar, so not rushing too much. The second day lasted until 5 p.m so i got ample time to book for Grab heading to Melaka Sentral.
Alright, back to the seminar content, there were seven slots altogether. Among the speakers are Dr Ahmad Solehin from Jabatan Agama Islam, Dr Siti Aishah Hassan, Dr Ahmad Rostam, psychiatrist from Hospital Putrajaya, Cikgu Mohd Esa, 2 decades experience as school counsellor and the most awaited slot from the ex Lesbian & ex Gay.
Honestly, the slot i cant stand or i feel like refusing to listen was from the ex and the psychiatrist -__-. Terrible, me grieving over what is happening to our society and the thought of my family and future kids. With abundant of true cases laid out by them just made me feel sick instantly. Ya Allah, help us ;(
This was my second time attending such seminar, the first was last year in September 2017. I recalled coming back from the program with the same feeling this time, only that the worries have tremendously increased. This made me look at people differently and there's so much more to do and for the asatizah to deliver. huhu
Oh, gladly i wanted to share the activities we did during the slot.
 |
| but first, the manpowers :D |
 |
| us with the awesome participants |
 |
| four activities |
 |
| now no more secrets to you hihi |
 |
| yup, three pictures i fell in love at first sight, books, freshly baked breads and some kind of western food :D |
Four activities we did it individually;
1) write our names big enough on the paper, strictly names without borderline. Reason, border is an obstruction for us to express our feelings - Dr Aishah said, not me.
2) choose three pictures from the given magazine. Must choose anything that you liked at first sight, no thinking twice. Reason, because the pictures described yourself. Must fold the paper and write My Secret Garden.
3) Khauf & Raja' concept. Draw the outline of our hands, left and right. On the right hand, write five things that you hoped for (Raja') and on the left hand drawings, write five things that you are afraid @ worried of (khauf). Then, find a friend which you'll read all the ten things you prayed for and she has to listen and aminkan your prayer :)
4) take a piece of A4 paper, cut into four and colour the best colour you thought suitable for four emotions - sad(black), happy(blue), fear(grey) and angry(red). Mine was in the brackets (not in the picture coz we've to put all the papers in the boxes)
Before I end, i boarded a bus from Melaka Sentral to TBS, immediately after the program i booked for Grab, unfortunately Grab service is so poor there :(
I waited for more than 30 minutes but none. So i asked for a friend i newly engaged (hehe) to send me there alhamdulillah. I boarded the bus at 630 pm, 30 minutes later than planned and arrived at TBS at 845pm. Prayed Jamak Ta'khir at the surau and took LRT and Grab home. Arrived home safely at 1045pm.
Alhamdulillah a'la kulli hal.
Ya Allah, peliharalah diriku, adik beradikku, ahli keluargaku, sanak saudaraku daripada perkara yang haram dan mungkar. Peliharalah kami daripada azab kubur dan panasnya api neraka. Amiin ya rabbal 'alamin.
