Dugaan di bulan Syawal....

Tak faham la..... Mengapa sesetengah orang tu, bila sudah dibantu, masih tak sedar diuntung? bukan sekali bantuan yang diberikan, malahan berkali-kali dari setiap segi! Kita cuba bantu dari setiap sumber yang kita tahu, malahan duit poket sendiri pun kita keluarkan agar keluarga yang kurang berkemampuan itu dapat makan sesuap nasi dan anak2 dapat ke sekolah.. Tup! Tup! Kita dikatakan memaksa mereka menerima bantuan tersebut? Kita pulak dikatakan tidak prihatin? Kita pula dituduh tidak memahami keperluan mereka? Sedih... kecewa... fed up... itulah yang aku rasa sekarang...

Kalau setakat bual mulut sahaja, aku boleh diamkan saja... tapi ini dah diwar-warkan dalam akhbar tempatan!!! Bukan nak mengungkit, tapi seingat aku sejak 5 tahun yang lalu, setiap kali raya, aku dan kawan2 berikan bantuan samada dari segi wang ringgit mahupun barangan keperluan. Malahan apabila anak sulungnya hendak mengambung pelajaran ke luar negara tahun lalu, aku dan kawan2 turut memberi bantuan kewangan.. Mungkin tak banyak, tetapi pasti dapat meringankan beban. Tahun ini pula, 2 orang anaknya diberikan bantuan pendidikan iaitu duit tunai untuk membayar yuran persekolahan. Untuk raya kali ini, rumahnya dicat oleh aku dan kawan2 dan sofa baru kami berikan. Separuh hari aku pergi dari sebuah kedai ke sebuah kedai perabot. Duit yang diperuntukan tak banyak, namun kerana ingin merealisasikan impian keluarga ini aku cari juga sofa yang baru, terkini tetapi mampu milik. Kerana bajet tak banyak, aku memohon kawan2 untuk menyumbangkan barangan 2nd hand yang masih baik. Hasilnya, aku dan kawan2 dapat mengumpulkan langsir yang memang cantik dan 2 helai karpet yang sedondon dengan warna sofa tersebut. Mereka kelihatan gembira apabila mendapat barangan tersebut. Aku dan kawan2 dua kali ganda gembiranya. Namun kerana kesuntukan masa, kami cuma dapat cat di bahagian depan rumah dahulu. Niat di hati, selepas raya, akan disambung semula. Baru seminggu berlalu selepas cuti raya.. Aku baru saja nak 'set time' dengan tukang cat untuk teruskan kerja2 mengecat. Tetapi kerana aku terpaksa berkursus di pantai, terpaksa dipostponekan. Tiba2 sudah keluar di dada akhbar tempatan yang aku dan kawan2 telah mengeksploitasikan keluarga ini untuk kepentingan sendiri!!! Adil ke? Patut ke? Ikut hati, hendak saja aku pergi ke rumah family itu dan bagi sepatah dua kata... Ikut emosi, nak saja tarik balik bantuan yang diberi... Ikut amarah, nak saja berhentikan bantuan selepas ini.. Tapi, bila teringatkan anak2 yang masih bersekolah itu, langkah terus jadi kaku... Memang ingin bersemuka dengan family itu, tapi aku perlu kekuatan.. aku takut didepan mereka akan berderai air mata ini... Tunggulah sahari dua lagi...

Namun kepada Allah yang maha Esa, aku berdoa, janganlah rasa kecewa ini membantutkan hasrat aku untuk membantu mereka yang memerlukan... Janganlah peristiwa ini menghalang aku untuk terus berbakti sedaya mungkin... Aku perlu tabah.. Namun hati ini memang terhiris dan menangis sendiri...

Allah The Almighty...

Dari FB... Sekadar bahan bacaan untuk kita berfikir... Dia lebih mengetahui.

BismillahAllahummasolli'alamuhammad wa'alaalimuhammad Salamun 'alaikum

“Gempa di Padang jam 17.16, gempa susulan 17.58, esoknya gempa di Jambi jam 8.52. Coba lihat Al-Qur’an!” demikian bunyi pesan singkat yang beredar. Siapa pun yang membuka Al-Qur’an dengan tuntunan pesan singkat tersebut akan merasa kecil di hadapan Allah Swt.

Demikian ayat-ayat Allah Swt tersebut:
17.16 (QS. Al Israa’ ayat 16): “Dan jika Kami hendak membinasakan suatu negeri, maka Kami perintahkan kepada orang-orang yang hidup mewah di negeri itu (supaya mentaati Allah) tetapi mereka melakukan kedurhakaan dalam negeri itu, maka sudah sepantasnya berlaku terhadapnya perkataan (ketentuan Kami), kemudian Kami hancurkan negeri itu sehancur-hancurnya.”

17.58 (QS. Al Israa’ ayat 58): “Tak ada suatu negeri pun (yang durhaka penduduknya), melainkan Kami membinasakannya sebelum hari kiamat atau Kami azab (penduduknya) dengan azab yang sangat keras. Yang demikian itu telah tertulis di dalam kitab (Lauh Mahfuz).”

8.52 (QS. Al Anfaal: 52): (Keadaan mereka) serupa dengan keadaan Fir’aun dan pengikut-pengikutnya serta orang-orang sebelumnya. Mereka mengingkari ayat-ayat Allah, maka Allah menyiksa mereka disebabkan disebabkan dosa-dosanya. Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Kuat lagi Amat Keras siksaan-Nya.”

Tiga ayat Allah Swt di atas, yang ditunjukkan tepat dalam waktu kejadian tiga gempa kemarin di Sumatera, berbicara mengenai azab Allah berupa kehancuran dan kematian, dan kaitannya dengan hidup bermewah-mewah dan kedurhakaan, dan juga dengan keadaan Fir’aun dan pengikut-pengikutnya.

Subhanallah....

my friend is a real asshole!

HE IS MEAN!!!! And I dont like it at all!!! He's changed... He was nice to me when we were together... before he got married. Very seldom he condemned me or said awful things to me.. Then he disappered and one day he came back and decided to have a permanent string attached to him. I was a bit devastated but gradually i became my old self again. We didnt see each other much after that.. I told him we shouldnt be as close as before for women tend to be very jealous when there's another woman in their man's life. We occasionally meet and call and text each other. Recently we 'met' on FB and starting chatting there.. That was when the mean words starting to flow freely from him.. A first, I though he was just teasing me.. u know, make stupid jokes.. but now those words are not funny anymore. He claimed to be my bestfriend and knew me well, but obviously he is now very mean towards me... He made insensitive comments on FB, touched on private issues when he knew other people could read them! He's a jerk!!! And I dont like the 'new' him!

am back......

wow... dah hampir 2 bulan aku tak menulis apa2 di blog ni... bukannya takde cerita, tapi... entah nape takde mood dan inspirasi untuk menulis... atau mungkin terlalu sibuk melayan facebook? hehehe....
Life is still the same for me... N0w very busy with work.. A big event is coming up next weekend, thus, as the event manager, i'm giving my heart and soul to this one.. Lucky for me, my team this year is much better than the previous year... Yeah, i've been managing this event for years now... It's the most awaited annual dinner and every year i make sure it is more stupendous than the years before. And the theme for this year is Disney Masquerade. We are trying to bring Tarzan and his jungle into one part of the hall. There will be a small section for Narnia covered with 'snow'. The house of 'UP' has been made and is waiting to be lifted by balloons. Cinderella's castle is stiil in the progress and we have found a big mirror for Snow White's scene. Mermaid's underwater kingdom is still in blueprint and will be brouht up life next week. The ever famous Jack Sparrow's Black Pearl is ready to be assembled. Guests have been reminded to have their masks ready and encouraged to follow the theme. It's gonna be great this time around.. I'm sure of it and I am extremely excited!!!
But............ I have to attend a 3 day course next week and will be back 2 days before the event. I hope my co-event manager would be able to take care of things while i'm away... hmmmm...
Most if the time, I spent my time with my family... Mom just had a minor operation a week before raya. She had her womb removed. She's doing ok now but not as active as she used to be.. Eversince the operation, she becomes more sensitive and vulnerable. She cries easily and always looks sad. I was hoping she would be happier now that she is finally going to mecca for haj this november.. Both mak and abah are going.. We are now busy preparing stuff for haj.. However, mak acts as if she's not coming back... That worries me very much... I pary to Allah swt for mak and abah's safety. More importantly, i hope they will be able to perform their haj smoothly... insyaallah....

kebodohan yang nyata...

Hari ni ada demonstrasi pasal ISA kat KL... Yang anti ISA (pihak pembangkang - PAS, DAP, PKR) berkumpul di depan SOGO.. Yang pro ISA (NGO) berkumpul di area Central Market... Aku tak sokong mana-mana pun.. Aku tak pernah membaca buku atau risalah atau pape, yang menerangkan apa sebenarnya ISA... Aku cuma tahu ISA diwujudkan untuk memastikan keselamatan negara. ISA menahan mereka yang didapati boleh mengancam kemanan dan keselamatan negara. Aku pasti kebanyakan mereka yang menyertai demo anti ISA pun macam aku juga.. Mereka tak memahami apa-apa selain apa yang diberitahu kepada mereka.. Mereka disuapkn dengan provokasi, cerita yang tidak benar dan fakta yang telah ditunggang terbalikkan.. Bak kata seorang blogger "kita memang malas membaca...hanya mengikut...ikut pun tak tahu apa yang diikut..orang berteriak, kita berteriak, orang melompat, kita melompat tapi tak sedar seluar terlondeh, orang ketawakan kita,tapi kita terus melompat..."
Mereka memanupulasi dan dimanipulasi. Hasilnya? Demo jalanan, huru hara, gas pemedih mata, lebih ramai yang ditangkap dan ditahan pihak berkuasa. Kesannya? Menggugat ekonomi negara, menggugat keharmonian bangsa, menjadikan Malaysia sama je dengan Thailand dan Indonesia dan negara haru biru yang lain!

Dengan sedikit pengetahuan umum yang aku ada pasal ISA, aku percaya ianya patut diteruskan, namun mungkin perlaksaaannya perlu digubal balik. Walaupun kita ada undang-undang negara tetapi secara realitinya kadang-kadang kita tak boleh bergantung sepenuhnya kepada undang-undang tersebut.. Adakalanya kita terpaksa melakukan sesuatu dengan undang-undang kita sendiri asalkan kita ada valid reason for it.. Seorang kawan yang juga seorang peguam menulis "ISA bukan sahaja untuk keselamatan dalam negeri sahaja tetapi ISA boleh menyelamatkan org kita yang sedang dalam buruan pihak luar negeri. Contohnya, ISA telah menyelamatkan Nik Abduh daripada di Guatanamo kan oleh CIA jahannam" Sebab tu la ISA diwujudkan pada pahaman aku... Tapi, mungkin caranya ada kalanya nampak tak kena dan ianya memberikan persepsi buruk kepada kerajaan memerintah.. Seperti pendapat seorang blogger "sedikit arak/wine adalah baik utk kesihatan tetapi sifat manusia yang pelupa dan tamak, maka arak telah disalahgunakan, maka ianya diharamkan oleh allah swt. begitu juga ISA yg asalnya untuk menyekat dan menghapuskan pengaruh komunis telah disalahgunakan dan berlaku penyelewengan" Sebab itulah aku rasa ianya patut digubal semula dan dimurnikan.

Walau apapun, aku memang tak setuju kaedah demo jalanan digunakan. Ianya langsung tidak memberi jalan penyelesaian. Aku tak faham kenapa para pengdemo ni tidak berjumpa sahaja dengan pemimpin atasan, duduk berbincang dan memberikan cadangan-cadangan bernas untuk meleraikan kemelut ISA ini... Kenapa mereka tidak boleh menjadi rasional dan profesional? Mengapa mesti menggunakan emosi dan bertindak bodoh? Tapi tahu tak apa yang lebih bodoh dan mengecewakan? Seperti kata seorang temanku "yang paling menyedihkan ialah...yang bersusah payah berdemo nanti..majoritinya org2 melayu dan yang bakal mendapat faedah daripada jika ISA dihapuskan ialah majoritinya pelampau-pelampau Cina dan India (termasuklah segelintir kecil melayu) contohnya hindraf dll...sekali lagi org2 melayu diperalat..." Bangsaku DIPERALATKAN! Dan mereka langsung tidak menyedarinya! Itulah yang paling mengecewakan.. :(

forbidden love.... part one

I am falling for a married man!

I met him about 6 years ago during a course. I had heard about him before but had never met him in person. I knew he was attending the course too, so, I took his number from a friend for I knew I might need his help to find my way. True enough, I was lost. And he was really nice and helpful. It was a three days and 2 nights course. We didnt say a word to each other during the course for there were so many people and it felt inapropriate. The last nite we were there, he asked me to dine with him. It was a very memorable dinner and I could still replay the whole thing vivdly in my mind! No, we didnt have it at a fancy restaurant or eat an expensive meal. It was simple, but we talked and talked and talked till late hours. He was a man with lots of experiences and I just loved listening to his stories.

We continued contacting each other after that. When he came to Ipoh, we would have coffee together. If I went to KL, we would dine together. He was a charming man. There was this one time when he was already on his way back to KL from his kampung in Lumut, but because I wanted to talk to him, he pulled the handbrake and came to Ipoh. When I was attending a one week course in KL and didnt have a car to move about, he trusted me with his. This beautiful bond between us continued for almost a year. I was starting to fall for him then eventhough I knew he was taken. I remember this one time when I went to KL for Raya shopping and we met to break fast at KLCC. Surprisingly, we both wore brown top and pants. The dinner was superbly delicious, errr.. he looked delicious too!!! hehe... We talked and talked and talked.. I guess we just loved talking and liked each other's company. When we wanted to go home, the rain had just started pouring down. We ran to his car (he parked outside of KLCC) in the rain. Adus, macam citer hindustan, boleh?? huhu..! In his car I asked him about us and whether his other half knew about our meetings. He assured me that I had nothing to worry about. The truth is, he never said THE 3 words to me but he always made me feel special. So, the relationship was not official. I kept asking myself: Do I want to make it official? Do I want to interfere with the life he has built with this woman who knew him before me. Am I ready to be called the Bitch? And the anwer was NO. Slowly, I close down the connecting bridge between us... Less phone calls and sms and almost no meeting at all. Some how he understood and he obliged.
I stopped thinking about him. Stopped fantasizing him. Stopped dreaming of him.
Until recently....

To marry or not to marry...

Received a call from a dear friend. She was in a dilemma. She had a boyfriend, a married man. They had been seeing each other for nearly a year. My friend believed it was time to tie a knot. She didn't want to wait anymore for she was not getting any younger. She did not mind to become the second wife. So, the boyfriend told his wife of his intention and wanted her blessing. The answer was a big NO. He sadly brought the news to my friend and begged his girlfriend to let things be as they are. No string attached but no doubt the LOVE is there. As a woman, my friend couldnt just live on love and being somebody's secret lover. She felt her boyfriend did not try hard enough to get his wife's blessing. She was devastated. Tension was building up. She didnt want to break up but she needed to break away for a while. And while doing that, she met her chatting friend. They saw each other for coffee twice. And they hit it off. He didnt waste any time. He proposed. Unfortunately, he also had a wedding band on his finger. my friend refused to give any answer before he got the blessing from his wife. He did as told. And got the blessing after much persuasion and argument. But my friend was still indecisive. She still loved the first boyfriend and she felt she was moving too fast with the second bf. However whe knew the first couldnt give her the title that she wanted whereas the second seemed very serious to make her his.

She called me with this dilemma and asked for advice. Well, I was no expert but I believe both of the men are not good enough for her. she deserves someone better. My reason was: The first one was obviously selfish. He wanted a wife at home and a girlfriend outside. Typical male species! I dont see any point of being in the relationship that is lopesided. The second one was too gelojoh. Plus, he didnt make much, hence was actually unable to give ample 'nafkah zahir'. He said, he could only give around RM200 monthly to my friend if they were married. The rest, my friend who earned more, had to endure on her own. I have this belief that, when you are married, your life should be upgraded, not, downgraded. Money is not everything, but everything is money. Yes, I may sound materialistic but I am being realistic.

So, I asked her to take her time before making any decision. She must get to know the second bf well enough before saying I do. The most important thing, she must be ready to change her life completely! She must be ready not to compare herself with other wives whose husband can afford to buy things for them, but my friend has to buy things for herself. But, actually what I fear the most is that the second bf might want to live on HER money. It happens everywhere nowadays. Honestly, I didnt help her much... like I said, I am no expert.

lean on me...

I had never watched 'LEAN ON ME'. I knew it was a good movie. Well, almost all Morgan Freeman's movies are good and worth watching. So, today, while I was browsing the movies on Astro, I saw that particular title queeing up for the next show. Got all my house chores done and then I was ready in front of the tube.

It was a very moving story. I was overwhelmed by the determination of Mr. Joe Clark (Freeman) as the principal to change his school and his students for the betterment no matter what the obstacles were. I cried watching the movie, boleh??? hehe.. semakin tua semakin vulnerable and touchy lah... hmm....

Anyway, below is one of Clark's brilliant speeches which I got from one of the websites:

Next time it may be you. If you do no better than they did (referring to the students cum gangsters and drug dealers who were just being expelled) , next time it will be you. They said this school was dead, like the cemetery it's built on. But we call our East Side teams "ghosts," don't we? And what are ghosts? Ghosts are spirits that rise from the dead. I want you to be my ghosts. You are going to lead our resurrection by defying the expectation that all of us are doomed to failure.
My motto is simple: If you do not succeed in life, I don't want you to blame your parents. I don't want you to blame the white man! I want you to blame yourselves! The responsibility is yours!!
In two weeks we have a practice exam and a minimum basic skills test on April 13th. That's a hundred and ten school days from now. But it's not just about those test scores. If you do not have these basic skills, you will find yourselves locked out! Locked out of that American Dream that you see advertised on TV -- that they tell you is so easy to get.

You are here for one reason -- one reason only: To learn, to work for what you want. The alternative is to waste your time and to fall into the trap of crime, drugs, and death. Does everyone understand that? Do all of you understand me?! Then welcome to the new East Side High!

bursts of laughter


I woke up feeling great and grateful to God for still breathing and having my heart beating. My numbers are adding up but I'm ok with it.. really! ;D

I drove to work knowing it was going to be a great day and I was right. Everybody at work not only wished me Happy Birthday, but they also sang me the song! I was overwhelmed! I smiled and laughed the whole day. Since they knew I love cheesecake very much, I received 5 slices of different cheesecake, boxes of chocolates (yeah, they are really good at making me grow bigger and bigger!), an organiser (which I appreciate very much coz my old one only has a few pages left) and some cards. Then I spent a couple of hours thanking each friend who sent me wishes through Facebook and sms.

Later in the evening, my friends picked me up for my 'burst'day dinner. We went to this new restaurant and ordered heaps od food! Boleh bagi makan satu kampung! We ate and talked and ate and bitched about stuff and laughed. It was good to be with dear friends on this special day.

I spent my 'burstday'day with bursts of laughter with smashing buddies... I feel great and blessed!

the eve...

My birthday is tomorrow... It falls on Saturday this year, so, I should be going out celebrate with friends tonite right? But I have to go to work tomorrow! Darn! So, what did i do tonite? Just a quiet and simple dinner with a friend whose birthday is today. Actually we had planned to celebrate our birthdays for years, but never seemed to find the chance to do so. Entah mcam mana, tetiba malam ni boths of us were free. So, we went out just now.. had dinner at SR. Because we had not seen each other for quite some time, we ate less but talked and talked and talked till we were the last one to leave the restaurant. It wasn't that late actually, but SR closes at 10pm. Then we headed home. That was all... hmm....

want the NEW thing...

I have to find a new interest la... a new hobby perhaps... a new love... a new life... I dont care what or who but it has to be new! I'm becoming more and more bored with almost everything.. I am somehow losing the excitement in everything.. Life has become a routine, thus I procrastinate more and more.. Life has become mundane, thus I enjoy it less and less... Nowadays I spend more time indoor than outdoor... spend more time staring at the PC screen than going out with friends.. spend more time with the idiot box than have good cups of coffee with buddies... Pathetic... Unhealthy... Sucks!

Change I must... Enjoy life more I should... Be happier I will..!!!
First, need to find that 'new' thing... what could it be? what would I want it to be? hmmm.....

Al fatihah..

Sebentar tadi baru je terima panggilan telefon dari seorang sahabat.. Abahnya yang menderita barah hati akhirnya menghembuskan nafas terakhir pada jam 6.50 petang. Pakcik Z dah 2-3 bulan terlantar di atas katil... 3-4 kali juga aku melawatnya.. Setiap kali pun menitis air mata melihat keadaannya yang semakin teruk saban hari.. Kali terakhir melawatnya perutnya dah semakin kembung kerana hati yang bengkak.. mata dan seluruh badan dah bertukar warna kuning.. Kepada sahabat aku tu, aku bisikkan kepadanya supaya bersedia untuk menghadapi sebarang kemungkinan, kerana melihatkan keadaannya aku tau, dah tak lama dah untuk dia pergi menemui penciptanya. Senang diucapkan dengan kata-kata, tetapi yang menanggungnya saja yang tahu kesedihan menyedari masa yang ada semakin berlalu pergi..

Pakcik Z aku anggap macam bapa aku sendiri.. Dia banyak membantu dan menyokong aku dan kawan-kawan dalam kerja amal kami. Dia seorang yang ceria dan selalu berjenaka. Seorang yang sangat disenangi dan sentiasa tersenyum. Kerana itu kehilangannya dirasai dan diratapi. Namun daripada dia terus menderita sakit, adalah baik dihentikan kesengsaraannya. Mungkin itulah yang terbaik untuk Pakcik Z.

Sahabat aku ini sangat rapat dan manja dengan abahnya ini. Selalu nyanyi karaoke di rumah bersama.. selalu dia mengikut abahnya ke kenduri-kenduri kawin sebab abahnya ada buat bisnes PA system dan karaoke kecil-kecilan. Memang susah untuk dia berpisah dengan abahnya. Berat mata memandang, berat lagi mata memikul. Tambahan pula abahnya pergi pada Hari Bapa Sedunia. Memang tragis. Aku doakan roh allahyarham Pakcik Z dicucuri rahmat dan ditempatkan di kalangan orang-orang beriman. Aku doakan sahabat aku ni dan ahli keluarganya dapat mengharungi hari-hari muka dengan penuh ketabahan da kekuatan. Aku doakan yang terbaik untuk semua. Amin.

To my Dad:

Happy Birthday Abah... Nothing compares to you... Love you heaps!!!

I dream of NZ

A friend just sent me a text informing me that she just got a scholarship to do her master. She might be doing it in New Zealand. She had two options actually, whether to do it in Australia or NZ. But I encouranged her to go to NZ instead... Well, simply because I wish to go there myself. Friends keep telling me that it is a beautiful country, but untill now, still takde rezeki to set my feet there.

I would love to do my master in NZ too. In fact, 2 years ago, I googled the courses that they have there and found one that I liked in the University of Auckland. They even sent me a catalogue on their university. I was really impressed and was ready to work my ass off to get the fund. However, something got in the way. And I had to choose. And I chose to postpone Auckland. There is no regret in my decision. I knew Auckland would always be there. I just hope I live long enough to be one of the residents there.

I'm still breathing... Alhamdulillah.. I guess the time has some for me to pave my way to NZ. Better do it now before it is too late.. before more wrickles on my face.. before my studying ability fades away.. ;D

syoknye cuti!!!

It was a nice break... no, no.. let me rephrase that. It was a syok one!

It was good to finally be able to spend time with my nephew and nieces. We didn't do much actually.. Just went for breakfast and lunches (I had my dinners with friends), watched tv together, did grocery shopping at the hypermarket and had little chats in the car on their way to their extra classes in school and tuition classes. Enough to pull us a little bit closer!

I enjoyed my dinner with Z who just got back from South Africa. Yup, he went to Cape Town and Johannesburg. Not only my eyes turned green when he told me 'bout his stupendous trip to those places, I actually could feel my whole body turning to that colour! I was extremely jealous and mad! Jealous becoz he went there, and mad becoz he didn't tell me in the first place. I got to know about it from Facebook!!! Some friend he is!

My outing with Sugar was fun! Even though our initial plan, which was to visit Huggies (the one who just lost his leg due to diabetes) was cancelled at the very last minute, we still enjoyed every ticking from 12.03pm t0 err.. 8.57pm! We started our outing with a steamy lunch with Mr. CEO (whom I fancy very much but I have to forget the idea of being romantically involved with him becoz he is, umm... taken). He was looking so darn handsome and yummy in his yellow shirt and goldish tie and that spiky hair style! I didn't eat much.. I was just drooling over him, boleh? hahaha... Sugar and I had our little sweaty adventure in Times Square - we forgot where we parked the car in that huge building! Actually it was my fault for I led Sugar to the wrong escalator.. Well, what can I say... I was busy talking to Mr. CEO that I got confused with the escalator! hehe.. Sorry, Sugar! But it was a good exercise wasn't it? We managed to burn some calories! hehehe... After the wonderful lunch, we hit Isetan in KLCC and Ms. Sugar cum Ms. Shopaholic bought herself two pairs of sexy shoes and 3 pairs of gorgeous tops and one elegant long skirt! Me? I was happy with just one nice top. But the trying part was really fun.. I believe we spent nearly TWO hours trying out ALMOST ALL (a bit exaggerating here, I know.. hehe) the outfits there! The salesgirl was very sweet and honest in giving her opinion on our fitting session. I nearly bought the same long skirt that Sugar bought, but the sweet salesgirl said "akak kata akak dah ada skirt hitam kan? so, tak payah la beli yang ni.." Boleh? Kalau bos u dengar dik, abis u...!!! But, thanks dik! Jimat duit akak! huhu! During dinner we were joined by Mr. Vogue. He updated us on Huggies' condition. Hmm... We really sympathised with him... Hope he's doing much better now... And to Sugar, WE SHOULD DO THIS AGAIN!!!

I managed to have a quick breakfast with Honey and her cute son at Dome, The Curve. We had tea together a few days before when she came to Perak. We didn't eat much but more on talking. And the same happened during breakfast. We talked and talked and talked.. hehe.. Girls are indisputably good at that!

On my last night in KL, my cousin took me out for a quick dinner and a movie. We ate Nando's quarter chicken, fries and salad in 11minutes je, boleh?!!! Well, that was because Terminator: Salvation was waiting for us! We left home quite early but we got stuck in traffic (KL, tau je la kan?), PLUS, we took quite some time finding the cinema in that gargantuan Pavilion! (Nape la diorang ni suka buat shopping complexes besar-besar sangat? Penat berjalan la woi!!!). I must admit that I wasn't thrilled when my cousin told me that we were to watch Connor and his friends fighting some machines, but the movie turned out to be good! Rasa macam tak berkelip je mata ni tengok citer tu... Those who haven't watched it, better book the tickets now!!! Highly recommended!

So, that was pretty much what I did during my 5 days stay in KL. Hope I could do it more often! With more friends hopefully!!! ;D

taking a break again..

In conjuction with the school break, I'm taking a break too... Not going anywhere special. Just to KL to meet up with some friends and visit a dear friend who just had his right leg amputated due to diabetes... That's a real tragic la.. losing your leg at such a young age when you have a lot of things in front of you... Hope he's doing ok..
I'd better start packing now.. will be leaving in a few hours.. Adios!

kalau tak sedar juga, tak tahulah nak kata apa....

Tadi ada menerima email dari seorang teman.. Menarik! Sarat dengan kebenaran! Fikir-fikirkanlah....

Subjek: Kisah Benar Seorang Tan Sri

Dalam sebuah majlis, seorang usahawan berbangsa Cina yang juga bergelar Tan Sri sedang ditemuramah oleh seorang wartawan. Duduk berdekatannya adalah 2 orang jurutera, anak beranak berketurunan India yang bekerja dengan syarikat Tan Sri tersebut. Berikut adalah perbualan mereka:-

Tan Sri: Kerajaan perlu bertindak adil dalam pengagihan kek ekonomi negara. Tidak boleh ada diskriminasi terhadap kaum bukan Melayu. Kontrak antara orang Melayu dan bukan Melayu mesti diberikan sama rata demi keadilan. Lagipun bangsa kami banyak menyumbang kepada kemajuan negara walaupun kami digelar sebagai kaum pendatang. Setelah bersusah payah semenjak sebelum merdeka, maka wajarkah kami dinafikan hak sebagai warganegara. Orang Melayu perlu lebih berkompromi dengan kaum lain untuk maju. Liberalisasi perlu dilaksanakan dengan meluas dalam semua sektor demi mencapai kesamarataan antara kaum.

Wartawan: Tan Sri, boleh saya tahu sudah berapa lama dua orang jurutera ini bekerja dengan Tan Sri?

Tan Sri: Oh...sudah lama. Praba ni dah bekerja dengan saya hampir 30 tahun sejak syarikat ni ditubuhkan lagi. Malah anaknya pun sekarang bekerja dengan saya lebih 10 tahun. Mereka ini adalah pekerja saya yang paling berdedikasi dan banyak menyumbang kepada kemajuan syarikat.

Wartawan: Kalau begitu, apa kata Tan Sri berikan sebahagian saham syarikat ni kepada mereka berdua. Lagipun mereka sudah lama bekerja dengan Tan Sri, malah banyak menyumbang kepada syarikat sepertimana kata Tan Sri tadi.

Tan Sri: Eh... Mana boleh! Ini syarikat saya. Lagipun saya dah bayar gaji yang mahal kepada mereka berdua dan saya tak pernah halang pun jika mereka nak kumpul harta. Mana boleh senang-senang saya nak bagi saham syarikat saya pada mereka.

Wartawan: Macam tu jugalah perasaan Melayu. Tanah ini asalnya milik orang Melayu. Milik raja-raja Melayu. Lepas tu orang bukan Melayu macam Tan Sri pulak nak mintak hak sama rata dengan alasan kerana telah banyak menyumbang. Tan Sri rasa wajar atau tidak permintaan tu?

Tan Sri: .................................. (terkedu)

Kisah di atas merupakan sedutan daripada kisah benar yang berlaku dalam sebuah majlis perasmian kilang di Gemas, Negeri Sembilan.

Apa pendapat anda??

p/s: Sudah terang lagi bersuluh... Namun masih ramai Melayu yang tak sedar akan hak hakiki mereka... Sudahlah ketinggalan dari segi ekonomi dan pendidikan.. Satu-satunya peninggalan arwah nenek moyang (hak-hak istimewa org melayu) pun nak dijualnya kepada bangsa lain... Bukan bersikap perkauman, cuma tidak mahu dimasa akan datang Melayu hanya gah pada nama (MALAYsia) tapi akhirnya merempat di bumi sendiri... Pengalaman berada di Papua New Guinea sudah cukup mengajarku untuk memastikan agar bangsaku terus menjadi Tuan di bumi MALAYsia ini.. Jangan pula kita menyesal di kemudian hari...

syukur alhamdulillah

Zambry kekal Menteri Besar Perak

PUTRAJAYA 22 Mei - Mahkamah Rayuan hari ini mengisytiharkan Datuk Seri Dr. Zambry Abd. Kadir kekal sebagai Menteri Besar Perak yang sah.
Keputusan itu dibuat selepas panel tiga hakim diketuai Hakim Datuk Md. Raus Shariff berpuas hati bahawa Sultan Perak betul ketika melantik Zambry menggantikan Datuk Seri Ir. Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin pada 6 Februari lalu.

Syukur Alhamdulillah.... Semoga Perak terus makmur selepas ini.. Apa-apapun, Barisan Nasional perlu mengambil ikhtibar dengan apa yang berlaku dan perlu terus merapati rakyat serta memahami kehendak mereka...

All the best to Dato' Seri Dr. Zambry, Barisan Nasional dan UMNO.

Uniknya Perak

Semua bertanya, "apa dah jadi dengan Perak ?". Baik kawan2 dalam Perak sendiri mahupun kawan2 di luar Perak semuanya mahukan jawapan pada soalan tadi. Senario politik di Perak memang mendapat perhatian semua pihak. Kalau orang luar keliru, kami orang2 perak lagikan pula... Sejak PRU12, memamg glamer menjadi orang Perak... ahaks! ;D
Jawapan aku bagi soalan tadi tu senang je... Perak ni unik. Semua yang luar biasa dan penting berlaku di Perak.
a) Siapa yang berani bunuh orang putih (JWW Birch) waktu tengah mandi masa penjajahan british? Orang Perak
b) Siapa yang mewarisi Kesultanan Melaka setelah kejatuhannya akibat pencerobohan Portugis? Orang Perak
c) Di manakah timah mula2 dijumpai? Perak
d) Dimanakah getah mula2 ditanam? Perak
e) Dimanakah jalan keretapi mula2 di bina? Perak
Itu cumalah sebahagiannya. Jadi.. tak hairanlah kalau..
a) negeri manakah yang ada DUA Menteri Besar? Perak
b) negeri manakah yang ada DUA speaker DUN? Perak (Nizar masih anggap Sivakumar sebagai speaker)
c) negeri manakah yang mempunyai DUA ketua pentadbir kampung? Perak (JKKK dan JKKP)
d) Sultan manakah yang dicalar kedaulatannya dan cuba dibawa ke mahkamah oleh Karpal Karam Singh? Sultan Perak
e) Negeri manakah berlaku rusuhan samseng2 jalanan sehingga ada yang sanggup tidur terbaring atas jalan depan Istana pulak tu..? Perak
itu just to name a few la kan....
So, kerana uniknya Perak dari dulu sampai sekarang, maka orang Perak tak perlulah pusing2 kepala dan stress fikir pasal ni... Perak memang tempat sejarah dicipta.. chewah!!! hehe...
Melalui undang-undang, Kerajaan Perak dapat kepada Pakatan Rakyat. Kerana undang-undang juga Barisan Nasional mendapat semula menjadi kerajaan di Perak. Dan kerana undang-undang juga Nizar mendapat semula menjadi Menteri Besar. Namun kerana prosedur undang-undang juga Zambry kekal di kerusi Menteri Besar sehingga hari ini. Insyaallah kerana undang-undang juga segala kekalutan akan berakhir tak lama lagi... Doa aku adalah kepada Barisan Nasional.. ;D
Ramai yang takut dan mengatakan Perak huru hara kerana apa yang berlaku pada persidangan DUN yang lalu. Bagi aku, baik huru hara dalam dewan, jangan huru hara atas jalanan macam di Thailand. Sehingga kini kehidupan di Perak tetap berjalan seperti biasa.. Alhamdulillah....
