My Reflection as IPK Chairman 07/08

2008 hasn't been an easy one as planned in december 2007. remember the lunch where me, Ikhwan, Irsyaad and Jannah sat down pledging to commit in 2008 KABA activities as planned? sure thing, its easier planned than done. esp for a madrasah like KABA which hasn't got any activities for the past 4- 5 years or so and hasn't got participants for the 3 activities in 2007.



2007 activities are as follow:

(1) June camp at Pasir Ris Park: planned but didn't turn out

(2) Trekking at HSBC Treetop Trail

(3) December Youth Camp: not many KABA turned up



however, throughout 2008, there has been an improvement in the number of participants..



2008 activities are as follow:

(1) Movie Screening: The Kingdom and Prophet Muhammad Cartoon

(2) Ibtidai Minisportsday

(3) Iftar Ramadhan 08 & Qiamulail

(4) Raya Celebrations 08



Let me explain my personal activity in 07/08

took A levels in the end of year 07.

posted to SISPEC in December 07. started Basic Section Leader Course (BSLC) in December 07

promoted CPL. started Advanced Section Leader Course (ASLC) in March 08. went overseas- training in April 08 in Thailand Crescendo.

promoted to a Section Commander in June 08. posted to Pulau Tekong BMTC Sch 1 in July 08.



hectic isn't it? with all these within my schedule, one would ask hw I've managed to organise all the activities in KABA 08. Alhamdulillah this is why I managed to:



(1) help from Allah swt

(2) sacrifice: time, physical strength, emotional, mental and financial

(3) support from family, IPK members and asatizah



National Service has drained all my strength but I've managed to pull myself to hold on and continue with my 2008 plans. Managing IPK isn't an easy one together with NS commitment. Trust me, anyone would have given up long ago.

Thank You All

I, Abdul Hafiz Anuar, Chairman of the Ikatan Pelajar KABA (IPK) 07/08 would like to extend my appreciation to the following individuals:

Asatizahs
(1) Ustaz Rasman: for the guidance and the helpful thoughts that made the activities in 2008 possible.
(2) Ustaz Jani, Ustaz Ismail, Ustaz Hanafiah, Ustaz Md Abduh, allahyarham Ustaz Johari, Ustazah Zainab and the rest of the asatizahs of KABA

IPK members
(1) Abdul Muhyie: for helping me out in typing out my plans and passing down my instructions
(2) Ikhwan Risydah: for being the emcee and covering my duty up while I was in Thailand
(3) Zharfan: for being the one who brings the smile to our committee
(4) Syed Irsyaad: for being the one who comments alot
(5) Nurul Jannah: for being the most supportive.. wonderful prizes & presentation
(6) Nurul Huda: for the food.. burpp..
(7) Nur Farahain: for being the craziest.. the brochures and the posters
(8) Naqiyah: for bringing some hope that I can form a new committee

notable PEMUDAs
(1) Adib: for being there to help when I really need it (minisportsday & Iftar 08)
(2) Qhairil: for being the one who pops up during every event
(3) Hisham: for being there in movie screening..

All the IPK members will be leaving except me, Zharfan and Naqiyah. I hope to bring in a new committee of IPK members and mentor them in managing IPK and organising activities.

Giving A Thought

Let me list all the activities planned by IPK throughout the 2 yrs:



2007

1) June Camp in Pasir Ris Park

2) Bukit Timah Treetop Trail Trekking

3) December Youth Camp 07



2008

1) Movie Screening- The Kingdom & Prophet Mohammed saw cartoon

2) Ibtidai Minisportsday 08

3) Ramadhan Iftar cum Qiamulail 08

4) Raya Celebrations 08



It all started off with a failure after another failure in 2007. Frustrations, anger, disappointment definitely is part of being a chairman for IPK. Nobody can and will understand the stress and the responsibility of leading a team who never knew each other, with a communication system in the madrasah itself which seems to be very disastrous.



All these, Alhamdulillah, had been a success don't you think?
