Tribute To Sister ~ Happy Birthday !

2012-01-01T20:36:00.000-08:00

Dear Marlisa,

Happy Birthday! I don't know if you will be peeping into this little space today or not, but I just wanted to say Happy Birthday! And welcome to your 30+! Despite what the rumors say, the 30+ are really, really good! I promise. If I lived closer  and could take you out for coffee today

 in honor of your birthday,I would and over our cups of hot coffee I would tell you how very much I love you. How no matter what, no matter how much time has passed, no matter where we are,

I love you  so much.

Words cannot really even describe how much I would say it over and over and over again. 

Until it got through to you and you never ever forgot it. Then I would remind you of Allah's love.

How deep, wide, endless and amazing  His love is for you. Then you would make fun of me for crying because of course I would be.  There would be lots of laughing because you  always make me laugh. You are truly one of the funniest people I know. There might be a little of crying. Because that is just what I do and you might too after we were done, we would hug and our hearts would feel so full.  Full of love, hope and peace. That is what I would wish for if I lived closer. Missing you an awful lot especially today and hoping that today of all days is perfectly lovely and wonderful in every single way.

And that you feel so, so 

loved.

Pembaris Itu...

2011-12-26T02:49:00.000-08:00

Apa lagi yang didoktrin dan dikatakan kepada kita sebagai ‘apa orang yang bertamadun sepatutnya buat’ atau ‘yang ini betul, yang itu salah’?

Don’t judge a book by its cover.

Mind your own bussiness

Everybody has their right to do anything.

Buatlah apa sahaja, asalkan tak mengganggu orang lain.

Human rights

Freedom to speak

Belajar rajin-rajin supaya nanti dapat straight A+’s

Awak kat universiti tu, belajar baik-baik. Nanti keluar dapat kerja bagus.

Kamu ni.. Pakaian macam ni lah baru up-to-date. Baru moden. Tak la orang panggil ketinggalan zaman.

dan lain-lain lagi..

Senarai di atas hanya contoh. Dalam hidup ni kan, mesti ada ‘pembaris’ tertentu yang digunakan. Bukan pembaris plastik buat ukur JVP tu. Pembaris dalam erti kata, sesuatu yang kita jadikan rujukan atau kayu ukur, dalam menentukan apa yang sepatutnya dan apa yang tak sepatutnya.

Apa yang ‘baik’, apa yang ‘buruk’.

Apa yang ‘best’, apa yang ‘tak best’

Sesiapapun, ada ‘pembaris’ tertentu yang digunakan dalam menilai sesuatu. “Kau siapa nak bising-bising? Kau mak aku ke?” Bentak seorang remaja. Pembaris yang dia gunakan, orang lain yang mengomen cara hidupnya adalah ‘salah’. Orang lain tak ada hak untuk campur tangan urusan peribadinya. Itu pembaris, the most basic foundation which influence how people think and judge something and everything.

Hanya sebagai contoh.

“Kau siapa? Satu pertanyaan mudah. Maksudnya? POINT OF VIEWS @ BASIC FOUNDATION tadi yang bersifat judgemental, menghukum dan memberitahu apa yang sepatutnya dibuat. Siapakah yang menetapkan senarai nilai hidup atau apa yang betul atau apa orang bertamadun sepatutnya buat?

Manusia. Akal manusia. Benda yang sama dengan saya dan kamu. Apa hak manusia lain untuk menentukan apa yang sepatutnya manusia lain buat?Apa hak manusia lain untuk menentukan apa yang betul dan apa yang salah, ke atas manusia lain? Apa hak manusia lain untuk menentukan apa yang ‘bertamadun’, ‘moden’, dan ‘bermoral tinggi’?

To me, NON.

Sekali lagi, "Kau siapa?" Dan lagi, PEMBARIS apa atau mana yang sepatutnya kita guna, dalam menentukan apa yang sepatutnya, apa yang salah. Kita ada Allah. Pencipta kita. Apa yang baik, apa yang buruk, apa yang ‘bertamadun dan up-to-date’, Dia yang paling layak untuk menentukannya. Itu pembaris yang layak digunakan.

Gibbon

Katakanlah, kalau gibbon dapat bercakap (dan sifat-sifatnya yang lain itu kekal begitu). Cuba bayangkan kejap. Makhluk comel berbulu itu, pandai bercakap-cakap. Siapa yang nak dengar nasihat dari gibbon, tentang apa saja? Apatah lagi tentang falsafah hidup. Tak ada kan. Rasa-rasanya lah. Kenapa? Anda punya jawapan, anda punya alasan sendiri. Tapi rasanya jawapan kita sama. Bukan kerana gibbon itu tak cukup hensem atau kerana badannya berbulu. Sebab kepandaian, sebab kelayakan. Sebab ‘mampu atau tak mampu’, can do or can’t do. Sebab gibbon itu IQnya jauh lebih rendah. Sebab gibbon tu tak tahu semua benda tentang manusia. Yang dia tahu, manusia mampu memberikan makanan 5 kali sehari padanya, dan dia dapat makan lebih dari penonton kalau mampu membuat aksi comel dalam zoo.

Kepandaian manusia kebanyakan vs Aristotle & Albert Eisntein, siapa yang lebih? Kepandaian & IQ yang dicampur dari seluruh manusia sejak zaman tamadun Yunani sampai kiamat vs Allah, siapakah yang lebih?

Allah yang Maha Bijaksana yang mencipta segala-galanya. Proses radiasi dan pemecahan nukleus atom yang membawa kepada matahri dan bintang-bintang lain. Bahan-bahan kimia dalam otak yang bertindakbalas membawa kepada idea yang mampu mengubah dunia, perasaan, memori dan sebagainya. Proses pengecutan dan pengenduran otot yang membolehkan jari-jemari mengklik mouse dan menekan keyboard dengan lancar dan ‘selamba’, dan lain-lain. Siapakah yang mengaturkan semuanya?“…Maka mereka akan menjawab: Allah!”

Dan agak sakit hati bagi yang menerima kata-kata manusia sebagai panduan dan ‘pembaris’ penentu ‘apa yang dianggap sebagai bertamadun’ walaupun agak-agak tak masyuk dengan al-Quran & Hadis, pembaris dari Allah yang Maha Sempurna. “Dia baik. Suka tolong orang. Tak aniaya orang. Cumanya tak sembahyang je dan agak taksub dengan metafizik, menolak hari kebangkitan,” kata seorang teman suatu hari.

Apakah?

Pembaris apa yang digunakan? ‘Pandangan dan pendapat manusia’ atau ‘perintah Rabb’? Saya andaikan teman itu masih belum faham dengan hal sebegini. Tak mengapalah. Dah ditegur oleh seseorang di ‘tempat kejadian’ =)

Setiap orang ada pembarisnya yang digunakan. ‘Pembaris’ mana yang digunakan menentukan keupayaan akalnya dalam memahami simple logic; melainkan bagi orang yang belum tahu. Ataupun tak ambil kisah pun nak ikut apa dan siapa dan apa akan berlaku pada diri sendiri kelak. Bukannya nak membangkang semua kata-kata orang. Cumanya letakkan Allah di tempat yang sepatutnya dalam kita nak 'tengok' sesuatu.

Wallahualam

Am I Addicted To Coffee ?

2011-12-25T07:38:00.000-08:00

-scientific review concluded that moderate consumption of coffee, up to 300-400 mg of caffeine per day (around 3-4 cups) in healthy adults, is safe and does not cause any negative health effects-

YES I AM !! I am a self-confessed nescafe| latte| frappuccino-holic. I love to drink any hot beverage with caffeine in it. Since I craze for them so much or should I say the addictive caffeine in it, there's where most of my money is drained into. I believe I can call myself a Caffein Freak because I guzzle down at least 3 cups of Caffein drinks every day. That's the minimum you know! Imagine if I am in the mood for them, I can sip 5 to 10 cups per day. Crazy right?

Nescafe will surely love customers like me who drink their products as if they were water. Beats me to know that caffeine is really that addictive. No wonder caffeine has been dubbed the second Nicotine! It is virtually impossible for me to resist they're calling. Unlike you guys. I don't drink them because I am tired or sleepy. I drink because I craze for it! I drink coffee simply because I "gian" (addicted) for it, just like how smokers can't resist to puff almost every hour. Should I enroll into a "rehabilitation" center for my sin? ;)

p/s : Headache from drinking coffee?

Is it because your blood is a little bit too thick? Hence when the caffein induce your heart to beat faster...you will have headache? Drink more water.

Criticism ..

2011-12-13T07:53:00.000-08:00

One word but has many meanings..

Many people cannot stand being criticised. For me, I can take constructive criticism, that's based on facts and logic, and not just criticised me because you advanced than me. If you just wanna criticise without basing on facts but feelings, I'd say SHUT UP you. There are some people who just have the urge to open their mouth and talk with the motive of bringing down people and criticised, everything and anything. Those that aren't their cup of tea.Constructive criticism on the other hand, is with the intention of making situations better - this I welcomed a lot but more often than not, people just have opinions about everything and anything, even things they don't know they also want to act like they know it all. Only criticise if you can do the job better - otherwise let others do their work. Only criticise if you are in the position of higher authority to do so, and for a greater good. Otherwise, just SHUT UP.

Can you take criticism?

Masak itu seronok

2011-12-12T07:29:00.000-08:00

Sesiapa yang biasa tengok channel Asian Food Channel |AFC| mesti familiar dengan nama-nama chef Anna Olsen, Adrian Richardson, Laura Calder, Nigella Lawson, Emmanuel Stroobant etc. Masing-masing ada program TV sendiri. Mereka ini superb! bertaraf five Stars. Bukan sesuatu yang mudah nak berada pada tahap mereka sekarang. Semuanya bermula dari bawah. Melalui saat-saat sukar satu persatu . Akhirnya berjaya, bukan sekadar nama di cipta tapi menjadi kaya-raya. Dunia kulinari ni, betul-betul boleh buat duit. Apa-apa pun,kalau ada usaha dan minat,semua menjadi!

Laura Calder : Hebat dengan masakan Perancis

Emmanuel Stroobant : Suka masak frog's boxer, eeeuuuuww !

Semalam, tengok Masterchef Malaysia. Program macam ni bagus dan membina. Boleh melihat sendiri kepakaran orang Malaysia dalam bidang kulinari. Banyak perkara positif dapat belajar. Bukan hanya masakan yang bersih,cantik,sedap malah strategi menepati masa dan kerjasama tu cukup cantik di tunjukkan di sini.

Tersentuh hati melihat sikap seorang peserta di dalam program ini. Walaupun masih muda dan kehidupannya yang perlukan pembelaan tetapi dia seorang yang mengagumkan saya. Tidak mempunyai pendidikan yang tinggi tetapi akhlaknya setaraf orang yang berpelajaran tinggi. Tidak nampak dia putus asa walau pun melalui proses penyingkiran sebanyak 9 kali. Nama si ibulah yang memberi semangat dan di sebut-sebut sehinggalah saat penyingkaran. Pada langkah-langkah terakhir,dia sempat meminta maaf pada semua . Kata-katanya indah tersusun ,cukup menyentuh jiwa. Kalau ada yang menangis,itu tidak keterlaluan. Keakraban di antara mereka kuat seperti sebuah keluarga walaupun sedar mereka bersaing antara satu sama lain. Inilah namanya persaingan sihat dan ada sesuatu yang boleh di contohi.

Teringin juga nak belajar masak secara professional. Nak belajar masak masakan jepun & perancis. Tapi , memandangkan masih banyak perkara perlu di beri keutamaan, terpaksa menangguhkan hasrat tersebut. Memasak itu pastinya sesuatu yang seronok. Lebih-lebih lagi masakan kita di puji dan orang suka. Penat pun terasa hilang ;)

Must not get pissed off again..

2011-12-07T08:59:00.000-08:00

You know.. one of my bad habits while driving is that I cannot stand people who drives slowly on the right lane. I think some drivers are ' kurang cerdik ' which are nothing but a hazard on the road. These drivers are the ones who caused all the annoying accidents. I get quite pissed off behind such drivers.

If you are such drivers who hogs the road, please move aside,do everyone a favour and save other people lives by moving away. To me, right lanes are fast lanes. If you want to drive 20kph, please dont drive at all!

I dont care if you want to drive 20kph in your own taman or parking lot or whatever, but definitely not on the right lanes of highways!! Those of you who have experience trailling behind these type of drivers will share my sentiments.

I dont like malay teenagers drivers either they drive too tortoisely or drive too dangerously and also uncle drivers, old enough to be my greatgrandfather. Who hogs the right lane of LDP like nobody's business and no matter how much you honk at them or flash your headlights, it didnt bother them at all!

That's because they keep their eyes on the road and dont bother to look in to the mirror and dont bother, old people hearing are bad, so they cant hear the honk.

My solution?

Simple.

Overtake them on the left side, then cut in front of them and slam the brakes and then speed off!!

Bola-bola kehidupan

Assalamualaikum wbt...

Hari ini genap 5 bulan saya meninggalkan blog . Kali ini biarlah saya mulakan penulisan dengan berbahasa melayu. Macam-macam yang berlaku sepanjang tempoh 5 bulan yang lepas. Tak sangka, sungguh cepat masa meninggalkan saya. Semakin hari semakin tua diri ini saya rasakan. Anak saudara dah bertambah menjadi 4 orang. Proses tumbesaran mereka saya melihatnya sendiri dari berumur satu hari sehinggalah sekarang. Banyak yang saya belajar. Tidak terlambat untuk saya mengucapkan Selamat datang kepada ahli keluarga yang baru dalam keluarga saya :

Amzar Mukhriz b. Saifuzzaman
&
Farays Arryan b. Mohd Shahril Annuar

Sebenarnya, saya ada perkara lain untuk berkongsi. Tertarik dengan kemajuan dan perkembangan positif pasukan bola sepak negara. Tahniah di ucapkan. Dan sebelum ni,pernah saya menulis perihal yang sama. Pasukan yang sedang meningkat naik perlu diperakui bahawa mereka masih dalam ' pembinaan '. Kejayaan yang dicipta membuktikan mereka itu sangat berusaha,meletakkan tahap posisi mereka kepada yang lebih baik dan yang penting sejarah itu sungguh manis untuk di kenang sampai bila-bila.

Bagi diri saya sendiri,kalau saya berada di dalam keadaan yang sukar,tekanan dan apa saje yang di lihat boleh menjatuhkan diri saya, saya menjadi sangat POSITIF sebenarnya. Saya sedaya upaya melawan kepayahan itu. Bila kepayahan itu bertukar bahagia, saya rasa puas. Dan itulah cara saya membina kekuatan diri. Betapa ramai manusia tidak sedar,kegagalan itu sebenarnya menghampiri kepada kejayaan. Merasai kepayahan dahulu kemudian mengecapi kegembiraan itulah yang dikatakan kehidupan. Oh manisnya =)

When i'm ok,i'm ok.. but.. When i'm bad, i'm excellent

Saya suka dengan sikap pasukan bola sepak negara-negara arab. Apa yang saya lihat, bila berjaya cepat sekali mereka berterima kasih pada ilahi. Sujud syukur di atas nikmat kejayaan yang diberikan. Keajaiban itu dari Allah swt. Bila Allah nak sesuatu itu berlaku,maka mana-mana tangan pun tak kan dapat menghalang kehendakNya dan bila Allah menafikan sesuatu itu berlaku, maka mana-mana tangan pun tak kan dapat menghulurkan bantuan walau dengan apa cara sekalipun

Harimau Malaya : Kami tahu,bukan mudah untuk mengekalkan kejuaraan berbanding menjadi juara. Berusaha lagi,semoga Lagu Negaraku bergema gah di persada bumi London, InsyaAllah.

When Sometimes Good Isn't Enough

2011-05-18T22:55:00.000-07:00

Seriously, do you find yourself in a moment when sometimes things you said were meant to encourage but often it gets misinterpreted?

I always believe in encouraging people (to do this for the betterment, that is) even when I might sound annoying, to me, encouragement will only push people forward and not to be lazy, to put in more effort, to do better than just good. I am not a perfectionist but I find people often exceed my expectations no matter how high the expectations are. I do not pour cold water on people, even though there are times I agree when impossible is more like it, but I always like to put it my way, you won't know if you don't try. Frankly, there's no harm in trying. To have tried and failed is better than not to try which is a definite fail anyway.

Being positive all the time is not all good, I learnt, People misjudge me as overconfident. Like seriously? Overconfident to me is more like arrogant, which is totally different than being positive. I have positive thoughts most of the time. I always believe things happen in disguise and for every shit that happens, there's always something good. Life is too short to think negatively. And when I speak of my dreams to people, some get it, some don't. Some would throw in their support and some would just brush me off and ask me "to get back to reality". Damn, if there is no dream, there will be no action, and when there is no action, you will always be where you are today!

I need to end the day are some nice words that can assure me that life isn't that bad, so much for thinking positive right?

I love listening to Boyce Avenue,I don't understand, why you aren't famous -.-

This song is one my favorites :

Throw my hand on a blade for ya
I’d jump in front of a train for ya
You know I’d do anything for ya
I would go through all this pain

Happy Birthday to my beautiful+clever niece : Sofea

Nurin Sofea Saifuzzaman

Today, my gorgeous and very fashionable (of course) niece turned 10 years old! (Gosh I'm getting OLD!) She has grown into such a beautiful and intelligent young woman! I am really blessed to have her in my life and I hope that she will always know how much I love her!

We are surrounded by so much craziness in this world and everything always seems so fleeting but my friendship with my niece is something that I truly cherish and I hope that many, many birthdays from now we will always still remain close!

I shot this -.-

Nur Fadila...

2011-05-08T18:46:00.000-07:00

Nur Fadilla..

Be remind that no one is this world lives perfect nor a saint, even our prophet admitted that He was born just like another fellow humans which is imperfect. Once girl repented and has seek an apologizes towards its opponent means that one's already done her responsibility towards God and human on Her past. Somehow its better for a sinner for the sins which makes them repent and humble/afraid of God rather than be Good/do good but its drove them to be proud n arrogant. Whatever it is, you're done your essentials part and just surrender it to God as you're only a human. Its not human who judge & simply giving forgiven. No worries. God knows better and everything He plan it comes with His own prerogative reasons. Be optimist. Life ain't that easy but yet nothing is impossible by God's will. Be strong and widened your mind.

Nur Fadilla..

An Arabic poem said, When Allah loves someone, He let other people talk about her here and there. It is so true. It is a sign of love by Allah to His Messenger. The poem also goes to you. People will never stop talking, either good or bad, it is a sign of love! This wisdom poem is a very soothing & great one! It makes you comfort & relieving. Seems every things happen around you are created with its own wisdom & sweet reason. Indeed, people who are created with a brain will never stop talking be it good or bad on you,thus in order for God to show His care & love on you, He will test you with those to see weither you are strong enough, believe & redha or stubborn. He gave you a chance by such trial in a way to give you with easy rewards from people who talk good or bad about you. Let them be & to God you are surrender with it. God's giving you a trial & test upon everyone equally and base on the knowledge & capacity to take it. God is Great! He plan all the good thing on everyone capacity to handle & face it. Bersabar lah wahai hati....

Maafkan aku

2011-05-08T05:12:00.000-07:00

Manusia sememangnya layak terus di uji dan di uji. Bertuahnya apabila di uji lantas mendekati diri kepada ilahi. Tak semua orang, mampu menghadapi dugaan Allah dengan redha. Di saat ini, Allah telah memberikan aku kekuatan diri untuk aku bangun dari sejarah yang lama. Aku bersyukur kerana sempat diberikan kesedaran. Jauh di sudut hati, aku sayangkan kehidupan aku yang lepas. Kebenaran memang pahit dan menyakitkan. Perkataan hakikat kena aku terima. Andainya diberikan pilihan samada derita atau ada kehidupan yang baru,aku pilih derita. Aku terlalu rindukan setiap saat yg lepas. Rindu yang pastinya bukan di buat-buat atau dipaksa. Titis-titisan jernih selalu datang tanpa diundang. Hidup ini sekadar menunggu jemputan Yang Maha Agung. Semakin lama aku hidup makin banyak aku buat silap. Aku pun dah tak rasa gembira lagi. Kadang-kadang bila aku senyum, itu hanyalah terpaksa. Senyum untuk menutup rasa sedih.

Ayah mak.. ampun dan maaf sekiranya satu masa nanti berkesempatan membaca tulisan ini. Maaf kerana tidak mengembirakan hati kalian dengan kejayaan aku semasa hari graduasi yang lepas. Aku bukan aje tidak hadir malah aku tidak pernah bercakap pun soal ni dihadapan kalian melainkan selepas majlis itu berlalu. Ramai sekali para pensyarah ingin mengenali kalian pada hari itu. Mereka ingin berjumpa kalian kerana aku adalah yang terbaik hasil daripada didikan kalian. Aku tahu,kalian kecewa dengan tindakan itu. Aku berjanji andainya kita ada umur yang panjang aku akan bahagiakan kalian sekalipun diri ku menderita.

Aku terlalu rindukan dan sayangkan kehidupan aku yang dulu. Semua ni akan hilang dan padam bila aku menutup mata pergi.. Maafkan aku........

A Story of Me, Myself and MY-melayu-Team.

2011-03-18T10:02:00.000-07:00

Believed it or not?! I woke-up at 4.50am to pee, but when I tried to close my eyes back, only my right eye could close easily,my left eye didn't want to close. Suddenly, I felt like the ex- Prime Minister of the Islam Hadhari Land who is said to not be able to sleep because he is supposedly thinking of a way to change this secular based nation into a pure islamic country,ark! But there are also romours of a south east asian ex- PM who just married who always sleeps even at important meetings. I also heard that he sleeps on the road, true or not? I don't know! But for sure, like me maybe that ex- PM, wakes-up as early 4.50am to think of unfinished matters of his country who knows?! As a solution and also out of bad habit, I maked my hot chocolate drink then on my laptop and try to type something! But what do I want to write? Yesss! last evening I read two posting of Dr. Clark Gable of Pulau Duyung about bloggers defination and my friend's blog, her post quit cool and the title was a story of leaf, tree and wind. I'm sorry dear, I'm plagiarizing your title, but don't worry I'll change it a lot! I am very sure there will great result if I colaborates thats two stories. So, there is good benefit if we love to read, at least my brain will not be dried out of knowlegde and most importantly my brain will not lack in ideas! Remembered someone's top post said "aku kena berfikir...berfikir...dan terus berfikir dan tak salah sambil-sambil itu, aku berzikir!".

Yes...without thinking long, I forced myself to name my post "A Story of Me, Myself and MY-melayu-Team...". Thats a big difference between mine and her post title. For sure, I will make this content cooler than her's. Ok lets talk about my post, Yess, I want to write about M.E.L.A.Y.U and for sure I, myself was 'melayu'. What a shame of me to write something about Globalisation or world matters when at the same time, I still haven't writen anything about me as a 'melayu'. Hey nothing wrong with the title...? My mother and my father are melayu'', My brothers are 'Melayu', My Sister is 'Melayu', my sisters and brother in law are also 'Melayu' and the all 3 my nephew and nieces are 'melayu' too. The most important thing is, I myself am a 'Melayu'! Enough?! No...I still have some more reasons to this title. In my independant country Malaysia which will be celebrating 53 years of its Independence that 'Melayu' said "MERDEKA", there was more than 65% of 'Melayu' in that land. Furthermore, there were a lot of associations or clubs or whatever we call it, were built in the name of 'Melayu'. The top one is called United Malay Nation Organisation which have more than 3.3million registered members. So in bahasa I can say that "Melayu ini, macam-macam ada..." Read something cool that I qoute from Uncle Syed Hussien's journal;

"Tiba-tiba saya teringat satu dari sifat orang Melayu. Kalau mereka suka pada seseorang, mereka tidak memuji orang tersebut di depan. Begitulah juga kalau mereka tidak suka, mereka tidak akan menunjukkan sifat marah dan tidak senang mereka secara terbuka. Pelik, mereka yang mengaku sahabat, mengaku saudara Islam tapi tidak segan silu mengkritik, mengata, menfitnah, mengadu dumba orang yang mereka tidak suka di belakang. Untuk apa ‘telunjuk lurus kelingking berkait’, ‘pukul anak sindir menantu’. Yang ada diatas ditarik macam ketam dalam bakul, yang di bawah dilanyak, dipijak, dipukul beramai-ramai..."

To the 'Melayu' who are still dreaming by showing the 'keris' and and receiving RM50 tip offs to shout out "Hidup Melayu" did you know that there were two theories to define 'MELAYU' ? Have you ever heared about the defination of 'MELAYU' based on Yunan Theories which tells us about Orang Negrito, Melayu Proto and Melayu Deutro? Or the defination of 'MELAYU' based on Nusantara Theories by Sutan Kadir Alisjahbana? Ahhh...just forgot?! Mmm its ok! Ok..next question, are you guys familiar with the person who is named Usman Awang? Ok fine, you guys know him?? Congrat! Lets read these two phases below :

"Melayu itu org yg bijaksana, Nakalnya bersulam jenaka, Budi bahasanya tidak tidak terkira, Kurang ajarnya tetap santun, Jika menipu pun masih bersopan, Bila mengampu bijak beralas tangan..."

"Meski telah memiliki telaga, Tangan masih memegang tali, Sedang org mencapai timba, Berbuah pisang tiga kali, Melayu itu masih bermimpi..."

That was first and sixth phase of the poem named 'MELAYU' by Usman Awang. I don't want to elobarate this poem, just think for yourself the messagge!Ops..don't forget, during the next assembly, you guys better get M16 rifles to replace the 'keris'!

Melayu is WEAK by it meaning!!! Anyone wants to be angry me? Be my guest, to any 'Melayu', you have the right to be angry with me! I don't care, why should I?! I am 'Melayu' too! Long...long time ago, I read one article about 'Melayu'. that article said 'Melayu' itself was weak cause of it itself 'Melayu'. The prove, follow this step, please spell 'Melayu' in bahasa, M.E.L.A.Y.U ! please remove M and E, so what left?L.A.Y.U...right? Find word 'LAYU' in your dictionanary, it will give you the meaning was wilt ; lose or cause to lose freshness and droop. That's what 'LAYU' means, what about english? Melayu mean Malay in english for sure! Please do the same step and see what's left? L.A.Y! My Concise Oxford Dictionary - 10th Edition, 'LAY' mean not ordained into or belonging to the clearly, not having profesional qualification or expert knowledge. Hmm..the meaning of 'layu' and 'lay' was quit same! Next...I'll try to find a new definition of 'Melayu' based on the 'Melayu' current matters and situation by use the meaning 'MeLAYU' and 'MaLAY' as my basic ideas...It's sound difficult but I'll try!Remember the question from 'Ahli Nujum Negara Pasai' to 'Ahli Nujum Pak Belalang'?!

"Di manakah letaknya...kekuatan Hang Tuah? Di kepalanya kah...?! atau dikerisnya kah...?! Jawab Ahli Nujum Pak Belalang "Kekuatan Datuk Laksama Hang Tuah...bukanlah dikerisnya atau di mana-mana, tetapi terletak pada huruf 'T', iaitu menyebabkan namya menjadi T.U.A.H"

How lucky Hang Tuah got a perfect name from his parents. But...remember Hang Tuah is also 'Melayu' same like me, and same like the rest of you who claims that your are 'Melayu' Remember the malay proverb "Nak Seribu Daya, Taknak Seribu Dalih...". Ok..I'll try..

As I am not here to talk merely on how LAYU Melayus’ are, I would prefer to discuss something along the lines of the paragraph I just quoted on Hang Tuah who if without his ‘T’, would have been Hang Buah or Hang Muah, haha! So lets for a second think of what MELAYU would have been if the ‘YU’ in MELAYU was substituted for something else…

The first one is MELAyan. Yes...this very much describes the 'First Class Minded' era and Human Capital idea promoted by the authorities. For more 'kick', I should also elaborate on MELAlak in this paragraph as these two words uniquely draws a picture of MELAYU.. Based on current entertainment scenario, teenagers are encouraged to MELAlak...don't believe? watch tv9 on saturday at 9pm.Before that, watch the same channel at 6.30pm! Are you familiar with this dialogue "Errr...pitching tu penting yerrr, pitching kena jaga...dah nak sedap dah tu, you 'up' lagi pitching you, sure you ada chance untuk menang...percayalah!" For sure, the MELAlak will get 110% support from the MELAyus’. Now, how does MELAyan connects to MELAlak? Obviously it does because the current top ‘MELAlak’ers are voted by SMS by the people who MELAyan! Admit it or not, you and I both know that we MALAyus can spend the whole day watching reality TV making ourselves oblivious to what reality really is…I guess...by year 2020, these two MELAlak and MELAlak will grow prosperously like the amount of mud that appeared after flash flood at KL...cant even get it off the roads!! Honestly...I think by 2057, MELAlak will be the top profession choosen by 'Melayu'! We'll see... For any parties joining the next general election, you guys better put the agenda to nurture these two types of 'Melayu' in your manifestoes. For sure...you will get plenty of votes and if SPR decides to implement the SMS for the voting...I am VERY SURE that that party will win...110%! On this suggestion, my confident is like Doug Hall (American Inventor) when he said "I put my whole reputation on this invention"

Third...MELAyang! Yes...MELAyang a.k.a Mat Rempit or as some of people call it, Remp-it! These parasite Malayu folks loves to fly on their bikes… again too proud or rather too stupid to realize that bikes are meant to be road on roads not to be flown on above roads…. Duhh. Describing the way MELAyang flies its like watching a Wau Bulan fly at 200ft off the ground while being controlled by 3year old girl, Yes...the Wau Bulan will drop any time...and anywhere! So thats the MELAyang... whom never fails to annoy the public… The most popular activity among the MELAyang community wopuld be illegal racing. Like others, JPJ charge me RM55 per year or 15.06849cents a day and I pay more than thousand to the insurance company for permission to use the road which is declared as road tax. But...unfortunately, I have to share this road with MELAyang...how risky is that?! Sometime I think that the recent move to decrease the road tax and increase the insurance is because our roads are getting more risky to use. Back to MELAyang, actually...we have to mention the 6-7 of ex-‘MELAyang’ers who turned a new leaf after being brought to the North Pole for a Winter Camp… they returned to their country as 'Melayu' again! If that so..its great, but what happens to the rest of the 6-7 thousand or maybe 60-70thousand ‘MELAyang’ers still ‘flying’ out there? I feel that what we are doing is "Memberikan pisang pada BERUK di Zoo dan membiarkan BERUK di hutan terus memberuk di situ..." … we should make that into a new proverb!

Forth...MELAntak! In bahasa, MELAntak..means eat like a mad in a single meal, but that was not that what I meant! 'Melayu' MELAntak...is the worst case scenario that happens today since 31st August 1957. Still unclear..? MELAntak is something our top notch people who are just never satisfied with their big fat pay check. News claims that our economy is blooming...on top of that, Malaysia's Annual Trade in year 2006 was RM 1,069trillion...amazing! what does it mean actually? what I want to point out is this- are we among those 'marhaen' people who got the benefit of that trillion figure? Yes...the government servants got their increment. And that’s all the country is sharing with us! Unfortunately...only 1.2mil people in this country work for the government. How about the remaining 20million citizens and 5-6mil workers at the private sectors and how about the people work 'kais pagi makan pagi, kais petang makan petang..."? Either Aware or not, the growth of those who MELAntak, will pose the country many problems in 5- 1 years to come. In the most feared problem would be the separation of the 'Melayu' itself. The gap between the poor and the rich is enlarging. However, we should also give those who MELAntak a pat on the back for building up foundations and means to help other MELAyu. That's nice...help the choosen 'Melayu' (MELAyu who doesn’t really need help but are cronies) and at the same time, MELAntak will excused from tax...thats just nice!

The fifth one is MELAmpau… it shames me to elaborate on this. Take a moment to think about it and I bet you can come up with something to relate to this…its sad to know that so many of us has converted from MELAyu to MELAmpau.. it’s a pity…Guess these five ‘MELAyu’s illustrates my view well… bet there’s more but lets not go there at the moment. I don’t mean to insult who I also am… like I said … My mother and my father are 'Melayu', My brothers are 'Melayu', My Sister is 'Melayu', my sisters and brother in law are also 'Melayu' and the all 3 my nephew and nieces are 'melayu' too.. .. I hope we MALAys will try to get a fresh and shiny started,InsyaAllah.. =

Teori Generasi Spontan

2011-03-18T09:54:00.000-07:00

Bunyi macam kelakar? Yeah, sikit-sikit ;p

Well, permulaan ilmu sains memang bagi kita kadang-kadang nampak kelakar dan tidak realistik, kan?

Ingat lagi tak tentang seorang saintis di zaman Greek silam, Copernicus yang menemukakan teori bahawa bumi sebenarnya berbentuk sfera walhal ketika itu ramai saintis lain mengandaikan bumi adalah leper, seiring dengan kefahaman Gereja Kristian Katolik ketika itu. Pihak gereja tidak dapat menerima pendapat saintis ini, menganggapnya sebagai sesat dan dapat menggugat keagungan ajaran agama mereka sekaligus melemahkan pengaruh gereja dalam masyarakat. Copernicus akhirnya dihukum pihak gereja semata-mata mendatangkan teori yang bersalahan dengan keyakinan pihak gereja dan dikatakan menyalahi kandungan Bible.

Ingat juga tak, bagaimana 2 bersaudara Wright diketawa mati-matian kerana mereka bercita-cita untuk terbang? Well, bagi masyarakat ketika itu, terbang bagi manusia adalah sangat-sangat lucu. Tapi sekarang, lihatlah..idea 'kelakar' Wright ini merealisasikan manusia terbang. Terbang macam burung? Haha, tidaklah~ cuma terbang menaiki kapal terbang, helikopter atau roket sajalah.. ;-) Tapi, tetap terbang kan? Satu idea yang diketawakan tak lama dahulu.

Teori Generasi Spontan.

Tak pernah dengar? Haa, meh nak bagitau..

Teori ni mendakwa, hidupan boleh terbentuk dari benda tidak bernyawa. So, what do you think? Believe it or not? Hah, think~

gandum + peluh = tikus

Saintis abad ke-17 mendakwa perkara di atas. Kononnya, untuk menghasilkan tikus seseorang hanya perlu meletakkan sehelai seluar dalam yang mengandungi peluh bersama sedikit gandum di dalam sebuah balang terbuka. Selepas 21 hari, mereka mendakwa peluh dari seluar meresap masuk ke dalam gandum sehingga menghasilkan tikus! "What the.....??" anda kata? Haha, rileks.

Teori ini dibahaskan berabad lamanya. Ada juga saintis yang menyanggah teori ini dengan mengatakan ulat tidak terbentuk dari daging busuk, sebaliknya lalat yang meletakkan telurnya pada daging tersebut. Saintis ini bernama Francesco Redi (1668), merupakan seorang penyair dan ahli fizik Itali. Sekalipun beliau berjaya membuktikan teorinya, dunia sains ketika itu masih menerima Teori Generasi Spontan dengan mendakwa ia hanya berlaku dalam keadaan terbuka dan ada udara.

Perbahasan teori ini berterusan lagi, sehinggalah ia dibatalkan sepenuhnya seorang ahli kimia muda Perancis, Louis Pasteur.Beliau mendidihkan sup ayam (mematikan mikroorganisma) di dalam sebuah termos kaca, memanaskan leher termos tersebut dan membentuknya seperti huruf S. Dengan itu, udara boleh memasuki termos tetapi tidak udara yang mengandungi mikroorganisma. Seperti dijangka,tiada hidupan atau organisma terhasil di dalam sup ini walhal ujikaji ini telah memenuhi kehendak teori(keadaan mestilah terbuka dan ada udara). Dengan itu, eksperimen ini secara rasminya membatalkan Teori Generasi Spontan yang mengandaikan benda mati boleh menghasilkan benda hidup, sekaligus menunjukkan mikroorganisma berada di mana-mana termasuk di udara. =)

Ya, namanya pun teori; tentulah bersikap hipotesis dan andaian (^_^)

Sengaja saya berkongsi kisah ini...bukan apa. Kadangkala, dalam menuntut ilmu, kita lupa mengaitkannya dengan kebesaran Allah SWT. Jarang-jarang sekali kita berkata, "Hebat sungguh Allah nie.." atau "CIptaan Allah nie sempurna betul." tak pun "Dasyat tuh....! Allah cipta tu, cipta nie. Bijok sunggoh!~". Yang kita selalu sebut, " Pandainya Isaac Newton, tengok buah epal jatuh ke tanah je, dah tau ada satu daya yang tarik..". dan juga ayat-lain lain yang memuji si pencetus ilmu. Ya, memang tak salah untuk memuji mereka, tapi jangan sehingga kita lupa untuk menyandarkan semula semua ilmu itu kepada Yang Maha Berkuasa dan Maha Bijaksana. Menuntut ilmu biarlah diri semakin dekat dengan Allah, dan bukannya semakin jauh dari-Nya. Wallahu'alam.

p/s: Saya teringat semasa belajar Mass Balance di tahun pertama. Prinsip Mass Balance ialah mass in equals to mass out. Spontan, pensyarah bertanya, "Kenapa mass in sama dengan mass out??" Gatal kepala kami memikirkan jawapan yang realistik lagi saintifik. hu~ Selepas beberapa detik, pensyarah memberi jawapan.. "..sebab Allah Maha Berkuasa..." Haha~

Jawapan itu tepat, logik dan benar!

10 Things I Grateful For.

2011-03-05T08:59:00.000-08:00

These are my random thoughts and they're all typed out in random order... [except for #1..]

1) Having a close-knit family who does not only stand by my side through the good times but has also been with me through out my bad times. Basically we lean on each other always no matter what the situation might be and because of that and tons of other reasons, i love u Ayah, Mak, Kakak, Abang-abang, guys are my world!!!

2) Being born a muslim, though i realize that i am far from perfect in being a true mukmin. I am hoping to be one, taking a step at a time.

3) Having friends around me and without them, life would not be as much fun as it is now. ^^

4) Having a healthy body, seeing sick people around me everyday makes me realize how grateful i am for being healthy and being able to do things uninterrupted despite the occassionaly common cold that i get ;)

5) Having a 'perfect' face, no matter what others say, i think my face is perfect because i have

- a nose, which can be used to smell all the nice things around me.
- a pair of eyes, to see all the beautiful things in life like the small white flower or the multi-coloured rainbow.
- a mouth with a tongue and full sets of teeth to munch on things and enjoy the taste of food and drinks.
- a pair of ears,to listen to the wonderful sounds around me
and they are all set in their rightful place, i cant ask god for anything more :-P

6) Having a scholarship to support my studies, Thank You Allah for giving me this great 'gift'. I was succeed in this field.

7) Having a wonderful extended family which consists of aunts, uncles, cousin sisters, cousin brothers, nephew and nieces. I am really glad that i was born into this family who really cares about me. Thanks for all.

8) Having a good brain which thankfully saves me indirectly during exams from failing. Again, i am truly grateful to God for giving me one of the greatest 'gift' in life. Hopefully, i will grow wiser each day.

9) Having all the experiences that i have obtained through out my 22years of life. Some of which i am sure others might have never experienced or thought of experiencing. All of these are what made me who i am today and are the ones that will carve my path in life for the future. Through some were bad, but i learned from them to be a better person. I am glad that i got to experience all of them and the good experiences are the ones that pushes me forward in life when i am feeling down.

10) Basically, i am just glad for being alive!! Thanks to my lovely mother for bearing all the pain to deliver me and more importantly, thanks to Allah for giving me a chance to breathe in this world.

* People, if u start looking around carefully, u will finally realize that there are tons of things in life that u should be grateful and thankful for. I know i am..

;))

My father once spoke to me about the 3 important things in life.... he said :

3 things in life:
once gone, never comes back --> words, opportunity & time
3 things in life :
we r never sure off --> dreams, fortune & death
3 things in life:
that make u a great person --> success, honesty & sacrifice
3 things in life:
most valuable --> love, self-respect and family & friends

Remembering back my father's words, even know, when i think back of all the things that happened around me, i still think friends are wonderful, especially those who really do care about me. Despite me easily getting upset with sum of my friends for sum of their ways, i still think that i could not have made it through the 5 years of engineering school without them. Despite all our differences, i thank u all, my friends, whole-heartedlly for being around for me when i need u all, and though i may act up at times due to that 'time' of the month. I hope those close to my heart will understand me well enough to know that i don't mean anything bad that i did or did not do during that period of time. I honestly have always wondered, who really are my true friends? like neko once said, who among all my friends will be confident enough in me and have the courage to defend me, if and when i am accused of doing something wrongly. Only time will tell i guess and based on my character, i have as many close friends as others do but then again, like elder sister said, as long as i have a lots who are willing to stand by me no matter what others say or do, then i guess, my life would be equally satisfying.....

Note to self

Dear Heart,

I know we've had our differences in the past, you say no I say yes. I've put your interests aside and have just dived into situations knowing full well..you will be the first to get hurt when something goes wrong.

Every time we hit a wall, you get shattered. In return I try mend you with whatever stationery's I can find. From staples to plasters and play-dohs, just to put you together because lets face it..if there's no you, there's no me.

You have been very forgiving. Always quick to mend and tell me never to repeat the same stunt again. I promise you time and time again and yet i make the same mistakes again. You assure me, that you are strong and you can take the pain even though I can see you struggling to stand up.

I know I have been very selfish, I throw fits and claim you don't understand me. I retaliate by doing the exact opposites of what you tell me just to hurt you even more. Sometimes i forget that you get revenge by sharing the same inflicted pain. I try to blame you. I say it's your fault. Yet you have been patient enough, nodding and accepting every curse i hurl at you.

Please try to understand, that I am seeking help in trying to listen to you. You are the one for me and without you I am nothing. I am fully aware you are irreplaceable. I yearn to take better care of you and I hope to never dive into a wall again.

Lastly, thank you for being a wonderful companion for without your wisdom and strength, I fail as a person.

~ Oh man I miss YOU

Alhamdulillah, I can breath again in front of my lappy.. :) Actually we all breath in and out everyday, but sometimes we will have a specific day that we can breath freely and feel a relief.. Like I do now, writing an entry in my blog shows that I take a breath easily which means that I'm a little bit free, where I try to find my free time to write something here.. Lately, really miss my brother. Now he works offshore ( overseas : which part? im not so sure ) Thank you to him for having a great time together since my childhood, and still understand and accept my real character at home..May Allah gives strength to him and his wife and bestow them with peace and harmony. Really hope that Allah will make everything smooth and easier. Indeed, all tests from Allah are signs of His Love... Ameen

::.. ME ..::

A little bit about ME :

1. I don’t find myself such a great person - Maybe it’s because I've yet to find the many things I am capable of doing. After all, I am human. I make mistakes every day and I take a while to learn from them.

2. I am loved - This is great because this is love I receive, but have never asked for. Even though I can’t see it, the feeling of being loved is heavenly. Enough said.

3. I’m an introvert - I tend to be very shy the first time someone talks to me, but it doesn’t mean I don’t want to open up. It just takes time. I like having company. I do talk a lot with my friends and parents, but I just like the feeling of being by myself. At the end of my day, I normally sit down quietly and have time for myself to think how my day went. These thoughts affect me somehow. I just really like to think about things while trying not to wander off too far.

4. I’m a good listener - I listen to my friends’ problems and try not to give biased comments to them just because. Since I have an unstable sleeping pattern, I’m usually up after 2am and nothing good ever happens after 2am. I like to listen because it lets me experience their problems indirectly and I’d know how to react if it ever happened to me.

5. Not a secret, but I love my parents most :)

6. I Wash my contact lenses daily - Instead of rubbing, I just replace the solution and shake it very hard when I'm sort of not supposed to. But it's alright, they're expired already.

7. Stomachaches out of nowhere - I hate the feeling of having to go when I'm outside and it pisses me off very badly since I'm having abdominal pain while wishing I was home. Especially when I know I'll to fart a lot (smelly farts at that)

8. I hate when ice-cream melts and drips on my clothes -I know ice-cream waits for no one, but at least drip on the floor please.

9. Show-offs - I understand your parents make tons of $$ and hence you get everything you want, emphasis on want because want does not mean you need it, but need you always let the whole of world know? I just want to steal your new handphone/keyboard right from your eyes to make you shut up.

P/S : Piece of me? not.
It's not about everyone wanting a piece. U need to hand them a mirror. With it, they can reflect u, but never take u

~ oh please..

I have watched far too many Malay movies, and most of the movies I saw were mediocre movies, with shallow scripts, poor storyline, and movies that banked on accomplished actors & actresses to sell tickets rather than making a sincere effort to create a good movie without emphasizing on selling movie tickets too much. I almost promise myself that I would not spend my money and time watching another Malay movie ever again. That's how much I despised Malay movies!

If I were a film maker, I’d produce a sports movie or drama.

Why? Heck, some of us don’t really know what they have to go through to become a champion. Or how they got there? The sacrifices made. The sweat, the tears, the blood. These kind of movies are motivating. Makes you want to go out and make a difference, although we both know, neither you or me are talented.

Our younger generation now stays at home, plays DotA on LAN or Sudden Attack in the comfort of their lazy computer chairs that bounces back and forth when they lean against it. Can that attitude take us to Olympics? Hell No. We’ll only give birth to more geeks and nerds, and we don’t need that.

I would always want these kid to triumph a sweet victory on the green field. I always believe if we can’t, maybe our younger generation can! Like how Harimau Malaya won the AFF Suzuki Cup. Everyone was at the edge of their seat when it was streaming.

Real life story :
An outdoorsman trapped between a rock and a hard place, he struggles for survival.

Happy Birthday Emak

2011-02-22T10:02:00.000-08:00

I Will forever be thankful for having u

Dear Emak,

In my 23 years of existence. I have tasted a million bitter moments, most of which got the best of me. My heart is in tears as I remember but in the midst of sorrow I feel warmth because inside my heart I see u. U turned my troubles into experiences, from which I learned a great many things n my bitter moments into sweet memories. It shows me the miracle that a mother’s love brings!

There is a saying that says, children cannot choose their own parents, I am here to say, if ever there was a chance I could choose my parents, I STILL WILL HAVE YOU AS MY MOTHER.

Dear Ayah & Emak :
I sincerely wish u both, a good mood, health and peace in life

I LOVE MY PARENTS !

Happy Birthday Emak. I Love You n Will Always Do.

When I Talk to My Maker

2011-02-16T10:31:00.000-08:00

Oh Allah, I have seen many, but do little, I have received so much, but seldom I forget to thank you. You have opened up my eyes and my heart to stuff that really matters, you bring wake up calls into my life and you gave me chances to improve myself to work things out. But I am still the unimproved.

I cannot see every single possibility in my future life, but I have promised myself to achieve my dreams before I die. I have promised myself to repay all the sacrifices did by everyone to me. I have promised myself to die happy.

Things that I had to deal, the ones that I had to witness through my eyes, I never knew such thing can occur to me, but it does, eventually. If jazz songs are made to calm me down, Thank You. If my prayers are heard, Thank You. If I am on my way to make myself a better person, a stronger person, Thank You .

What I saw, are those things that I do not want to believe. Please Allah, please do not make the bad things that I imagined haunt me, and make it into a reality. I have no strength. I need strength from you.

Season In The Sun

2011-02-14T07:26:00.000-08:00

The only way to have a FRIEND is to be one

I heard the Terry Jacks song, "Seasons in the Sun" today. I was reminded of climbing trees, playing ball in the neighborhood, riding my mini-bike, playing in the yard with my brothers.

I remember hurrying through homework so I could get outside with my friends. Playing so long and so hard. Getting all sweaty and dirty. Hurrying through supper so I could get back outside with my friends.

I miss my friends.
