Beautiful struggle

2011-12-09T22:35:00.001+08:00

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly.

One day a small opening appeared.

He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours

as it struggled to squeeze its body through the tiny hole.

Then it stopped, as if it couldn't go further.

So the man decided to help the butterfly.

He took a pair of scissors and

snipped off the remaining bits of cocoon.

The butterfly emerged easily but

it had a swollen body and shrivelled wings.

The man continued to watch it,

expecting that any minute the wings would enlarge

and expand enough to support the body,

Neither happened!

In fact the butterfly spent the rest of its life

crawling around.

It was never able to fly.

What the man in his kindness

and haste did not understand:

The restricting cocoon and the struggle

required by the butterfly to get through the opening

was a way of forcing the fluid from the body

into the wings so that it would be ready

for flight once that was achieved.

Sometimes struggles are exactly

what we need in our lives.

Going through life with no obstacles would cripple us.

We will not be as strong as we could have been

and we would never fly.

Mom’s Eye

2011-11-29T20:05:00.001+08:00

My mom only had one eye. I hated her…. She was such an embarrassment. .
She cooked for students & teachers to support the family.
There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came to say hello to me.
I was so embarrassed.
How could she do this to me?
I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out.
The next day at school one of my classmates said, “EEEE, your mom only has one eye!”
I wanted to bury myself.
I also wanted my mom to just disappear..
I confronted her that day and said, ” If you’re only gonna make me a laughing stock, why don’t you just die?”
My mom did not respond….
I didn’t even stop to think for a second about what I had said, because I was full of anger.
I was oblivious to her feelings.
I wanted out of that house, and have nothing to do with her.
So I studied real hard, got a chance to go abroad to study.
Then, I got married.
I bought a house of my own.
I had kids of my own.
I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts, Then one day, my mother came to visit me.
She hadn’t seen me in years and she didn’t even meet her grandchildren.
When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I yelled at her for coming over uninvited.
I screamed at her, “How dare you come to my house and scare my children!”
GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!”
And to this, my mother quietly answered, “Oh, I’m so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address,”
And she disappeared out of sight.
One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house.
So I lied to my wife that I was going on a business trip.
After the reunion, I went to the old shack just out of curiosity.
My neighbors said that she died.
I did not shed a single tear.
They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have.

“My dearest son,
I think of you all the time. I’m sorry that I came to your house and scare your children.
I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion.
But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you.
I’m sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you when you were growing up.
You see…….. when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye.
As a mother, I couldn’t stand watching you having to grow up with one eye.
So I gave you mine.
I was so proud of my son who was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye.
With all my love to you,

Your mother.

The Invitation by Oriah Mountain Dreamer

2011-08-01T22:42:00.001+08:00

It doesn’t interest me
what you do for a living.
I want to know
what you ache for
and if you dare to dream
of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me
how old you are.
I want to know
if you will risk
looking like a fool
for love
for your dream
for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn’t interest me
what planets are
squaring your moon...
I want to know
if you have touched
the centre of your own sorrow
if you have been opened
by life’s betrayals
or have become shrivelled and closed
from fear of further pain.
I want to know
if you can sit with pain
mine or your own
without moving to hide it
or fade it
or fix it.
I want to know
if you can be with joy
mine or your own
if you can dance with wildness
and let the ecstasy fill you
to the tips of your fingers and toes
without cautioning us
to be careful
to be realistic
to remember the limitations
of being human.
It doesn’t interest me
if the story you are telling me
is true.
I want to know if you can
disappoint another
to be true to yourself.
If you can bear
the accusation of betrayal
and not betray your own soul.
If you can be faithless
and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see Beauty
even when it is not pretty
every day.
And if you can source your own life
from its presence.
I want to know
if you can live with failure
yours and mine
and still stand at the edge of the lake
and shout to the silver of the full moon,
“Yes.”
It doesn’t interest me
to know where you live
or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up
after the night of grief and despair
weary and bruised to the bone
and do what needs to be done
to feed the children.
It doesn’t interest me
who you know
or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand
in the centre of the fire
with me
and not shrink back.
It doesn’t interest me
where or what or with whom
you have studied.
I want to know
what sustains you
from the inside
when all else falls away.
I want to know
if you can be alone
with yourself
and if you truly like
the company you keep
in the empty moments.

Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening

2011-07-28T19:42:00.000+08:00

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Love

2011-06-16T21:02:00.001+08:00

Is working and living with a family in their restaurant
Slowly falling in love with their daughter
But despite being there for 4 years
Never telling her your true feelings

It is taking bushwalks and going to the movies
Wanting, yearning for some contact with the woman you love
Taking so much pleasure in the simple brushing past of hands
But never extending yours to take hers

It is watching while she has boyfriends come and go
It is taking her to dancing classes as her friend and partner
It is helping her with her art
But all the while keeping your secret

Love is moving away to another place
And losing contact with the woman you love
It is e-mailing her on her birthday and Valentines Day
because that is the only contact details you have for her

It is praising her work as an artist
Watching her grow and mature
And receiving the plaudits of her peers
It is going to her exhibitions
Even though she is not there

It is thinking of her every day and night
And then after 15 years apart
It is seeing her in a crowded supermarket
and feeling the beat of your heart quicken
and hearing angels singing in your ears
For you have seen her, in person after so long

It is a gentle kiss on the cheek
A warm embrace
It is taking those few seconds
And wishing they could last forever

It is polite conversation
And having to say Goodbye

Love is Pain
Love is Joy
Love is an unstoppable force
Love is still not telling her how you feel
but leaving that short moment after so long
and promising yourself it won't be the last

Goodbye

2011-06-10T21:31:00.001+08:00

I hate saying goodbye to other people because seems to me that we will never meet again.

So when when its time for us to be apart, all I can say is see you later.

It's only because I really really hope that we could have another day cause I so much left to say, maybe I'll tell u everything.

Science Fact

2011-05-17T03:53:00.000+08:00

1. Raindrops are not shaped like a teardrop (as they are almost always depicted in drawings) – they are actually spherical.

2. When something “sublimes” it turns directly into a gas from a solid – bypassing the liquid state. This is what would happen if you throw dry-ice into a fire.

3. Gorillas sleep in nests – they weave together soft foliage and bent branches from trees. Males tend to like sleeping on the ground while females like to have their nests in trees.

4. Champagne doesn’t fizz because of carbon dioxide – it fizzes because of dirt or dust. In a completely smooth glass with no dust molecules in it, champagne would be completely still.

5. Most digestion occurs, not in the stomach, but in the small intestine. This may be the reason that a person can be bulimic whilst still staying fat.

6. The red juice that comes out of rare steak is not blood – it is myoglobin a close relative of blood. Almost all the blood has been removed from a steak by the time it hits the market.

7. Plastic bags are better than paper bags for the environment. The manufacturing process that makes paper bags requires far more energy than that which produces plastic. Recycling paper bags takes more energy than recycling plastic, and paper bags take up more space in a landfill. Because landfills are usually airtight beneath the surface, paper and plastic are equally bad at biodegrading.

8. Polar bears are fascinating creatures. Their fur is transparent (not white), their skin is black (not white), and when kept in warm humid environments, their fur can turn green from algae.

9. Pet allergies are usually not allergies to fur but allergies to the animal’s dead skin, saliva, or waste matter. Regularly cleaning pets can dramatically reduce allergies.

10. The tongue map is a lie – you can taste all tastes on all parts of the tongue. The tongue map is derived from a discredited German paper from 1901.

11. When you hold a shell to your ear to hear the sea, the sound you hear is actually your own blood rushing through your veins! You can use any cup shaped object to hear this effect.

12. When you are alive, your brain is pink. When you die, it turns grey. While we describe the brain as “gray matter” and “white matter”, this is not a true description of its color.

13. Mercury, the fascinating liquid metal is not the only liquid metal. Gallium (Ga – pictured above) is solid at room temperature but will melt if held in your hand, caesium (Cs), and francium (Fr) – the second rarest naturally occurring element, can also be liquid at or near room temperature.

14. Dolphins don’t drink water – if they drank sea water it would make them ill and potentially kill them. They get all of their liquid needs through the foods they eat.

15. The Soviet Union was the first country to have a spacecraft on the moon – not the Unites States. In 1959, Luna 2 was the first craft to crash-land on the moon. In February, 1966, Luna 9 was the first soft-landed craft on the moon which relayed back pictures. Four months later, the United States landed its first craft on the moon (Surveyor I).

Life

2011-04-25T23:10:00.009+08:00

What is life?

I often listen to all kind of people say that to live your life to the fullest..
enjoy your life..

A few days ago, I was minding my own business and play an online game..then suddenly, a friend of mine pop up from nowhere and ask me what am I doing.

I respond, "Play game".

Then he reply, "Game is for someone who doesn't have a life.".

With smirky expression, he leave me because seems like I too preoccupied with my game.

Little did he know, his casual statement had make my mind spark up like crazy. It's like he has open my Pandora box. It's been a while my Pandora box is fully unleashed. So here I'm writing my 2 cents although I got big paper in 2 days.

The responded that my friend gave made me all thinking, what is a life? how dare he
inferred that I don't have a life? Am I a puppet to him? If I'm a puppet then he a sick man for talking to a puppet.

That's a silly point to make. I agreed. I just make a tiny joke to keep thing not too serious. Like the joker say, Why so serious?

Anyway, I'm pretty sure that everybody got the idea that life is what happen when we go out, meet other people, chit chat and have fun and stuff.

It's got to be to have interaction with other people, or going to places with people.

Now that's really bothered me.

For me, life is different based on everybody point of view. First of all, a great
thinker Serj Talkian say, "Life is but a dream". As I take it, anything that is a dream for a person that come true is a life for him. And for me, all I wish is to doing something that I truly like. And all I want right now is to play a game which I find very soothing.

As we only get 24 hour a day, most of the time of my life will be spend staring at this studious laptop and playing my online game.

When I at this make-believe place where magic is in the air. I found this soothing. The game could be addictive, but hey at least I'm not addictive to drug or sex.
It's not that I don't want to hang out with my friend at some shopping complex and watch some movies. And if you are my friend, then I want to say that I'm truly sorry if I hurt your feeling. But I find it that the game are more interesting then hanging out with you. Every time I want to go out, the same thing keep popping out of my head. Why am I doing this? Its not like I'm crapping money. And last time I check, the tree in front of my house don't grow money. And every outing would cost me lots of money and I die a little every time I ask funds from my parents. I just thing I shouldn't be the one keep asking the money for my entertainment.

Someone told me, we cannot be biased in making up choices. So we need to feel the both hot and cold first before we can decide which one we like. And don't get me wrong, I had live a life of going out. And I find it not so soothing as the game route. Because I need to be all dress up and putting up with people. the worst part is, I cannot fast forward the occasion. I just need to suck it up and take it like a man.

I'm not going to lie to u, there are multiple time that when I going out with somebody. All i think is when this all going to be over. Sometimes, I just step out and less than a minute the feeling comes.

But don't get me wrong. I'm not anti social. I will spend my arm and my leg for some truly worth it. I don't mind spending everyday with that someone......at least until I bored.

Frank Sinatra - Something Stupid

2011-03-14T02:15:00.001+08:00

I know I stand in line until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance, I know that there's a chance
You won't be leaving with me
And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place and have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like "I love you"

I can see it in your eyes
That you despise the same old lies you heard the night before
And though it's just a line to you, for me it's true
And never seemed so right before

I practice every day to find some clever lines to say
To make the meaning come through
But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late and I'm alone with you
The time is right, your perfume fills my head, the stars get red and, oh, the night's so blue
And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like "I love you"

The time is right, your perfume fills my head, the stars get red and, oh, the night's so blue
And then I go and spoil it all by sayin' something stupid like "I love you"

I love you
I love you

How the tax work..

2010-08-24T13:49:00.001+08:00

A good math lesson:
by: David R. Kamerschen, Ph. D

Sometimes politicians, journalists and the liberal
left exclaim; "It's just a tax cut for the rich!" and
it is just accepted to be fact.

But what does that really mean?

Just in case you are not completely clear on this
issue, I hope the following will help. Please read
it carefully.

Let's put tax cuts in terms everyone can understand.

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for dinner
and the bill for all ten comes to $100.

If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go
something like this:
The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So, that's what they decided to do.

The ten men ate dinner in the restaurant every day
and seemed quite happy with the arrangement,
until one day, the owner threw them a curve.

"Since you are all such good customers," he said,
"I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily meal by
$20." Dinner for the ten now cost just $80.

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we
pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected.
They would still eat for free. But what about the
other six men - the paying customers? How could
they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would
get his 'fair share?'

They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if
they subtracted that from everybody's share, then
the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up
being paid to eat their meal.

So, the restaurant owner suggested that it would
be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the
same amount, and he proceeded to work out the
amounts each should pay.

And so:
The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% savings).
The seventh now paid $5 instead of $7 (28% savings).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).

Each of the six was better off than before. And the first
four continued to eat for free. But once outside the restaurant,
the men began to compare their savings.

"I only got a dollar out of the $20," declared the sixth man. He
pointed to the tenth man," but he got $10!"

"Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only
saved a dollar, too. It's unfair that he got ten times
more than me!"

"That's true!!" shouted the seventh man. "Why
should he get $10 back when I got only two?
The wealthy get all the breaks!"

"Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison.
"We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits
the poor!"

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn't show up for dinner,
so the nine sat down and ate without him. But when it
came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important.
They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the
bill!

And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is
how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the
most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for
being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they
might start eating overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat
friendlier.

40 RULES OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT

2010-08-24T06:08:00.001+08:00

Nothing is impossible for the person who doesn’t have to do it.
You can con a sucker into committing to an impossible deadline, but you cannot con him into meeting it .
At the heart of every large project is a small project trying to get out.
A user will tell you anything you ask about, but nothing more.
Of several possible interpretations of a communication, the least convenient is the correct one.
What you don’t know hurts you.
There’s never enough time to do it right first time but there’s always enough time to go back and do it again.
The bitterness of poor quality lasts long after the sweetness of making a date is forgotten.
I know that you believe that you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realise that what you heard is not what I meant.
What is not on paper has not been said.
A little risk management saves a lot of fan cleaning.
If you can keep your head while all about you are losing theirs, you haven’t understood the plan.
If at first you don’t succeed, remove all evidence you ever tried.
There are no good project managers – only lucky ones.
The more you plan the luckier you get.
If everything is going exactly to plan, something somewhere is going massively wrong.
A project is one small step for the project sponsor, one giant leap for the project manager.
Good project management is not so much knowing what to do and when, as knowing what excuses to give and when.
Everyone asks for a strong project manager – when they get them they don’t want them.
Overtime is a figment of the naïve project manager’s imagination.
Quantitative project management is for predicting cost and schedule overruns well in advance. Metrics are learned men’s excuses.
For a project manager overruns are as certain as death and taxes.
Some projects finish on time in spite of project management best practices.
Fast – cheap – good – you can have any two.
There is such a thing as an unrealistic timescale.
The project would not have been started if the truth had been told about the cost and timescale.
A two year project will take three years, a three year project will never finish.
When the weight of the project paperwork equals the weight of the project itself, the project can be considered complete.
A badly planned project will take three times longer than expected – a well planned project only twice as long as expected.
Warning: dates in a calendar are closer than they appear to be.
Anything that can be changed will be changed until there is no time left to change anything.
There is no such thing as scope creep, only scope gallop.
A project gets a year late one day at a time.
If you’re 6 months late on a milestone due next week but really believe you can make it, you’re a project manager.
No project has ever finished on time, within budget, to requirement – yours won’t be the first to.
Managing IT people is like herding cats.
If you don’t know how to do a task, start it, then ten people who know less than you will tell you how to do it.
The person who says it will take the longest and cost the most is the only one with a clue how to do the job.
The sooner you get behind schedule, the more time you have to make it up.
The nice thing about not planning is that failure comes as a complete surprise rather than being preceded by a period of worry and depression

Prison Break quote

2010-08-08T11:36:00.001+08:00

Be the change you want to see in the world.

Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want to get

I know how to do it, I just don't have the time to do it.

Preparation will only take you so far. After that you got to take a few leaps of faith.

Stop chasing me, cause whenever you get close I'll win everytime

Rules are rules. And if we don't have them, we're savages

I always said that cops are more crooked than criminals.

This picture makes me look like some kinda sociopath

If I'm going down for this little homicide, I ain't going alone. We're going together like traffic and weather!

Tell you what, I'll go unlock the kids and make us all breakfast.

Why do you want to be out of here so bad anyhow? The world's all different now..scary. They've got computer phones, boobies made out of silicon, you wouldn't know what to do.

As my pappy used to say "Stand by, your glasses steady and drink to your comrade's eyes. Here's a toast to the dead already and hurrah for the next to die."

House Quote

2010-07-05T18:04:00.003+08:00

1. People choose the paths that grant them the greatest rewards for the least amount of effort

2. Perseverance does not equal worthiness

3. You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways

4. Ah, my birthday. Normally I'd put on a festive hat and celebrate the fact that the Earth has circled the Sun one more time; I really didn't think it was going to make it this year, but darn it if it wasn't the little planet that could all over again.

5. Like I always say, there's no "I" in "team". There is a "me", though, if you jumble it up.

6. take risks; sometimes patients die. But not taking risks causes more patients to die, so I guess my biggest problem is I've been cursed with the ability to do the math

7. Are you ... comparing me to God? I mean, that's great, but just so you know, I've never made a tree.

8. Nonconformity, right. I can't remember the last time I saw a 20-something kid with a tattoo of an Asian letter on his wrist. You are one wicked free thinker. You want to be a rebel? Stop being cool. Wear a pocket protector like he does and get a haircut. Like the Asian kids who don't leave the library for 20 hours stretches, they're the ones who don't care what you think. Sayonara.

9. The eyes can mislead, the smile can lie, but the shoes always tell the truth.

10, Humiliation comes in all kinds of packages. People finding out that your son's a perv, that's pretty high up there. People finding out that you'd rather let your son die than sign a piece of paper, where's that rank?

11. On average, drug addicts are stupid.

It's a basic truth of the human condition that everybody lies. The only variable is about what. The weird thing about telling someone they're dying is it tends to focus their priorities. You find out what matters to them. What they're willing to die for. What they're willing to lie for.

12. If you can fake sincerity, you can fake pretty much anything.

13. You know how they say, "you can't live without love"? Well, oxygen is even more important.

14. Sebastian: "Every minute 4 people die of TB."

House: "Wow, how can you sleep at night?"

Sebastian: "There's people dying in Africa of a disease that we cured over 50 years ago ..."

House: "Yeah, I know. I saw the concert. Seriously, let's say you sleep six hours, that means every night you kill 1440 people. I guess you gotta get some sleep, but come on, if you'd stayed up another 10 minutes you could have saved 40 lives. Do you send notes to the families in the morning? That's gonna take at least ten minutes, so that's another 40 dead, another 40 notes... why don't you go wrack yourself with guilt in your own room?"

15. Do you notice how all the self-sacrificing women in history; Joan of Arc, Mother Theresa, can't think of any others; they all die alone. The men, on the other hand, get so much fuzz, it's crazy

16. Wilson: "If you have the money, then why did you need the loan?"

House: "I didn't. Just wanted to see if you would give it to me. I've been borrowing increasing amounts ever since you lent me forty dollars a year ago. A little experiment to see where you draw the line."

Wilson: "You're ... you're trying to...objectively measure how much I value our friendship?!"

House: "Hey, it's five grand. You've got nothing to be ashamed of."

17. House: "Gimme a reason to get out of this, and I'll tell you who started the rumor about you being a transsexual."

Cuddy: "There is no such rumor."

House: "There will be unless you get me out of this dinner."

Malaysian don't like book?

2010-03-31T21:19:00.001+08:00

Normally, I would avoid post blog contain any hostility with any organization.. especially organization within Malaysia. This is because I deeply love and respect my country. (Now all rise for the National Anthem)

However, this particular organization had overstepped the boundary. So I will do what I need to do.

Last Tuesdays, I saw an article being post all over my campus. Like a crocodile to avoid its prey, so I take a peek at the article. The article entitled “Tiada orang baca buku di Stesen LRT, tren, komuter, bas dan tumpuan umum” translated “ Nobody reading at LRT station, train, commuter, public carrier & public places” written by Rosalinda Md.Said for Utusan newspaper.

Or you can simple read it here (if you can read in Malay Language) http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2010&dt=0222&pub=Utusan_Malaysia&sec=Laporan_Khas&pg=lk_01.htm

The whole article consist of their founding regarding why nobody read book at LRT station, train, commuter, public carrier & public places. They say Malaysians simple don’t read book because they don’t like book.

I just can’t tolerate with this statement. Are they drunk when they stated this? Obviously they are also doesn’t like book because their statement is way too outrageous. Many people know that books are equivalent to knowledge or wisdom. It almost like saying Malaysians doesn’t like knowledge.

So hypothetically, based on their theory,

Every day I don’t eat bread because I don’t like bread.

Or, I don’t wear Baju Melayu because I don’t like Baju Melayu.

Or, I don’t go to government agencies because I don’t like government.

I don’t watch television programme because I don’t like television programme.

I don’t go to school because I don’t like school.

I don’t take public carrier because I don’t like public carrier.

The last is true because I don’t like public carrier due to bad experiences, but the rest is a wrong tautology.

Just because I don’t eat bread doesn’t mean I dislike them, this is because I just prefer rice. I’m Asian for god sake. I don’t go to government agencies because I don’t have any business with them, not because I hate them. I don’t go to school simply because I already 22 years old. Not because I don’t like them. The point is, there are many other factor need to be consider to make a correct judgement.

Now, let me answer the article big question.

Why nobody reading at LRT station, train, commuter, public carrier & public places.

Well hello..of course you will find nobody or less people reading book in public carrier.

First of all, they do the survey in high population area. The place is not suitable, have you been in any public carrier in KL areas. The place is way too crowded. How I supposed to read when there like 9 other people squeezing me. How I’m supposed to read a sad novel when people will watch me and wondering why am I crying? If I read a comedy novel, how I supposed to laugh regarding joke in the novel without other people suspecting me for laughing at themselves. How I supposed to focus reading educational book with the buzzing and revving all around me. Not to mention the LRT announcer speaking.

Nevertheless, the main reason why I don’t read in public carrier is because the public carrier is moving. What if I missed my destination? Will the public carrier be kind enough to reverse and drop me? Besides, I easily feel not comfortable when reading something in public carrier. It will be much better to read at my cozy home uninterrupted and without feeling nausea every 5 minutes.

Beside, the gap to reading is too short. Let say I want to go to Masjid Jamek from Setiawangsa. It will be like half an hour gap. Is it really a good idea to bring a book with me? What happen when it start raining? Do I wish my precious book to be soaked in rain because I want to read every minute I can grab of?

How about at the bus stop, why nobody reading in the bus stop? Obvious because they are waiting for the bus to arrived. “Crap, I missed my bus because I too concentrate reading my joyful book. Never mind, I just wait another 30 minutes” or “Let’s go kids, take your favorite book and let’s all headed bus stop to sit there and read. Never mind all the carbon monoxide, smoke or dirt that deteriorates your health or the book. Don’t bother about other people who actually waiting for bus. Don’t be intimidated by their stare because we sit at their place.”

Then the writer goes to higher learning education places. Shockingly, the writer doesn’t find any undergraduate read book between classes or while waiting their friends. ROTF, “Hurm, there are like another one hour before my class start. Let’s read a book while ignoring the lack of glucose in my brain drain from 3 hour lecture this morning”. Let me give you a little head up, when we concentrate on something, our brain glucose will reduce gradually. Our brain can suffer damage if the glucose is way too low. Thus, subconsciously our body will stop us from focusing to avoid more glucose lose. This explains why we easily distracted and felling drowsy during the class. In drowsy mode, unconsciously we will lay down our head to fill up glucose to our brain. In addition, the average time people have before distracted are roughly 15 minutes. How to avoid these low glucose syndrome? The quick answer is sweet thing such as chocolate because sweet thing contain high glucose. But be careful because unutilized glucose will be stored in fat format in case we need quick glucose fixed. This also explained why sweet stuff fatten people. Back on track, that’s why subconsciously, we will do low pressure activities to let our body fill up glucose up in our brain.

Obviously, the writer didn’t take these factors in their research or other facts such as that another half of Malaysia who doesn’t take public carrier. How they can say that Malaysian don’t like book based on people in public transport while ignoring other half Malaysia that have their own transport. Maybe next week they will do another survey at traffic light and look at car owner during red light or rush hour. “Wow, none of these driver neither their passenger read book while waiting for red light nor the rush hour” “You are right, maybe they don’t like book neither” “So it is safe to conclude that Malaysians doesn’t read nor like book” “Yeah, now let’s go survey at KLCC park and write story why Malaysians so lazy these days”.

By the way, if you want to get a better and accurate survey. Make sure you consider other factors or do the appropriate approach. If I want to know whether Malaysian love book or not. I will go to their home and observe how many book in there. Now I know why only academia people can publish thesis and such. Maybe I do a thesis regarding Malaysian reading habits.

I'm not fat..I'm big boned..

Jot that down

2010-03-25T19:46:00.005+08:00

I always don't get it why we as undergraduate always have to quote

other people work?

Is it because the people we quote are good at what they are?

Or is it because this is the indirect way of the Faculty telling

us that we are no good..so instead speak with our opinion, better

stop all the gibberish because all that will make us appear less

brightly than a broken car headlight.

The part I hate most is that we should memorize all the saying

because that what the lecturer prefer to see in our test paper

instead of what we really understand on particular subject.

I remember particular time before a test when I beginning to

question myself. Why should I remember what others people saying?

I not even personally know the guys. How can I be sure that he

stated what is right?

So here is the interesting part. I need to cited a random person

quote in my paper because that will make my essay to appear solid

and I will get a handsome mark. There a saying say that "Meluntur

buluh biar dari rebungnya". If we don't want our kids to be a

prick who can't even count their money. We have to teach them from

kindergarden. Obviosly, not after they spend all their money

(ptptn to be precise) in a new mobile phone model. Thus, if we

want these fresh mind to think fresh. I don't think we supposed to

splash black ink at the white sheet. Instead of telling people to

remember bluntly every word. Why not explaining to us what is the

significant of remember these word? Let's try something

interesting.

"A plan is a goal, indicating certain beliefs; a schedule,

specifying steps to be taken;a theory, considering

relationships;and a precedent, established for existing

decisions."

(R.M.Cyert and J.G.March)

This is a quote stating what "Planning" is supposed to mean. Other

than this, there are like at least another 5 quote stating what is

"Planning" by others people I learn so far. Thus, aren't that these quotes

themselves saying that there aren't any best answer. Then why

should our own opinion be any less different? Is it just because

we don't have any certificate up in our wall?

I wonder what will happen to brilliant mind back in the days if

they have to learn by quote instead of make a new discovery.

Furthermore, no wonder Adi Putra will find himself crying in some

bureaucratic school.

Sun Tzu Quote

2010-03-14T11:18:00.000+08:00

All men can see these tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved.

All warfare is based on deception.

Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness.

Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate.

Can you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can?

Confront them with annihilation, and they will then survive; plunge them into a deadly situation, and they will then live. When people fall into danger, they are then able to strive for victory.

For them to perceive the advantage of defeating the enemy, they must also have their rewards.

For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.

He who is prudent and lies in wait for an enemy who is not, will be victorious.

He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot, will be victorious.

Hence that general is skilful in attack whose opponent does not know what to defend; and he is skilful in defense whose opponent does not know what to attack.

If ignorant both of your enemy and yourself, you are certain to be in peril.

If our soldiers are not overburdened with money, it is not because they have a distaste for riches; if their lives are not unduly long, it is not because they are disinclined to longevity.

If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are near.

If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles.

In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy's country whole and intact; to shatter and destroy it is not so good.

Invincibility lies in the defence; the possibility of victory in the attack.

It is essential to seek out enemy agents who have come to conduct espionage against you and to bribe them to serve you. Give them instructions and care for them. Thus doubled agents are recruited and used.

It is only the enlightened ruler and the wise general who will use the highest intelligence of the army for the purposes of spying, and thereby they achieve great results.

Now the reason the enlightened prince and the wise general conquer the enemy whenever they move and their achievements surpass those of ordinary men is foreknowledge.

Of all those in the army close to the commander none is more intimate than the secret agent; of all rewards none more liberal than those given to secret agents; of all matters none is more confidential than those relating to secret operations.

Opportunities multiply as they are seized.

Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance.

Prohibit the taking of omens, and do away with superstitious doubts. Then, until death itself comes, no calamity need be feared.

Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death.

Secret operations are essential in war; upon them the army relies to make its every move.

Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.

Supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.

The enlightened ruler is heedful, and the good general full of caution.

The general who advances without coveting fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect his country and do good service for his sovereign, is the jewel of the kingdom.

The general who wins the battle makes many calculations in his temple before the battle is fought. The general who loses makes but few calculations beforehand.

The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy.

The opportunity to secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.

The quality of decision is like the well-timed swoop of a falcon which enables it to strike and destroy its victim.

The skilful employer of men will employ the wise man, the brave man, the covetous man, and the stupid man.

The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.

There is no instance of a nation benefitting from prolonged warfare.

Thus, what is of supreme importance in war is to attack the enemy's strategy.

To fight and conquer in all our battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.

Sun Tzu

To see victory only when it is within the ken of the common herd is not the acme of excellence.

Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.

When envoys are sent with compliments in their mouths, it is a sign that the enemy wishes for a truce.

You have to believe in yourself.

Presentation no-no

2010-02-23T00:02:00.004+08:00

A total of 548 people responded to the survey over a six week period in September and October of 2009.

(69.2%) The speaker read the slides to us
(48.2%) Text so small I couldn’t read it
(48.0%) Full sentences instead of bullet points
(33.0%) Slides hard to see because of color choice
(27.9%) Overly complex diagrams or charts

Suggestion

Poor Presentation Skills

The comments were very clear that this is a big issue. One respondent captured it well when they said, “The presenter lets the technology, not the content, become primary.” Audiences get annoyed when the presenter places more importance on the slides than the basics of communication, such as proper structure and delivery skills. Many people echoed the idea that the slides should support the message, not the presenter supporting the slides. This shows up in presentations in a number of ways, from presenters having way too many slides for the time allotted, presenters using canned slides without analyzing the needs of the audience, to not knowing how to use the technology. It is imperative that presenters get training on the basics of communicating a clear message and presentation skills in order to understand that PowerPoint should just be a tool to support their message, not the message itself.

Presenters not being prepared

The second most commented area was presenters who were not prepared either on the topic or the slides. Many comments talked about presenters who were not knowledgeable about the topic they were speaking about and relied on reading the slides since it was all they knew on this subject. My advice has always been to decline invitations to present where you are not knowledgeable. You make yourself (& your organization) look foolish. It was also clear that too many presenters don’t even run through the slides a single time before getting up in front of the audience. When you fumble through what is on each slide, you say to the audience that they are not important enough for you to have spent even thirty minutes preparing for this presentation. You would be better off e-mailing it to them. Again, it looks like we have to educate many presenters on the basics of preparing to communicate a message.

Non-professional graphics and use of animation

While these areas were covered partially by the main question on the survey, the third most popular area of comments dealt with the graphics and animation that makes the presenter look silly. The presenter may think it is “cute” or “cool”, but the audience certainly has a different opinion. They look at the cartoonish clip art, joke slides, garish colors, unnecessary reflections or shadows and effects such as 3-D and they immediately think less of the presenter and the ideas they are sharing. Remember that your audience is comparing your visuals to the professional ones that others use and in that light you will come up short of the mark. Everything you use in your presentation should demonstrate your professional approach and expert position on this topic. Don’t undermine your stature with amateurish selection of visuals or wacky animation effects.

Packing too much on a slide

The issue of text overload has been clearly articulated, but the comments also showed a dislike for packing a slide with graphics and tables or spreadsheets. When there are too many graphics on a slide, the audience is confused as to how they relate to one another and they miss the point you are trying to make. With large spreadsheets that have been pasted on the slide, the audience has no hope of figuring out what is there or what it means to them. That is why I suggest using the break down and zoom in technique to explain complex visuals.

Poor on non-existent template design

The final issue that was popular in the comments was the impact template design plays on the audience’s ability to listen and understand the message being delivered. As people said in the comments they wrote, when there are many fonts, titles change position, bullet points aren’t lined up, colors don’t seem to have meaning and the design leaves little room for content because of advertising and graphics, people get distracted from the message. In my experience there are two issues here. The first is the presenters who use no template or one of the distracting built-in templates. At least create a simple, clean one that is easy on the eyes. The second issue is with the templates designed by professionals who are good at design but don’t know how to create a proper PowerPoint template. It causes the presenters to manually adjust the position of objects to make it work, and most presenters aren’t designers, so what results is an inconsistent mish-mash on the slides. Every organization who pays a design professional (in-house or from the outside) to create a PowerPoint template must ensure that they know how to create the template so it is easy to use by the presenters.

Kalam Hikmah
Sebaik-baik sahabat - Dan sekiranya engkau berkawan dgn seorg bodoh yang tidak menurutkan hawa nafsunya, lebih baik drp berkawan dgn seorg alim yg selalu menurutkan hawa nafsunya. Maka ilmu apakah yg dpt digelarkan bg seorg alim yg selalu menurutkan hawa nafsunya itu, sebaliknya kebodohan apakah yang dpt disebutkan bg seorg yg sudah dpt mengekang hawa nafsunya.(Ibn Atta'illah)

Istirehatkan dirimu/fikiranmu drp kerisauan mengatur keperluan duniamu sebab apa yg sudah dijamin/diselesaikan oleh lainmu, tidak usah kau sibuk memikirkannya.

Jangan memaksa diri untuk mencapai apa yg telah dijamin dan jgn mensia-siakan apa yg telah diamanahkan kpdmu.

Jgnlah kelambatan pengabulan doa menyebabkan engkau patah harapan. Allah telah menjamin menerima semua doa dlm bentuk dan ketika yg dikehendakiNya.

Seseorg tdk akan mencapai darjat org salihin sehingga melalui enam rintangan;
1. Menutup pintu kemuliaan, membuka pintu kehinaan
2. Menutup pintu nikmat, membuka pintu kesukaran
3. Menutup pintu istirehat, membuka pintu perjuangan
4. Menutup pintu tidur, membuka pintu jaga
5. Menutup pintu kekayaan, membuka pintu kemiskinan
6. Menutup pintu harapan, membuka pintu bersiap menghadapi maut.

Sesngguhnya Allah kasih kpd makhlukNya yg suci hati, yg samar, yg bersih, yg terurai rambut, yg kempis perut kecuali drp hasil yg halal, yg bila akan masuk mengadap raja tidak diizinkan, bila meminang wanita bangsawan tdk diterima, bila tiada tidak dicari, bila hadir tidak dihiraukan, bila sakit tidak dijenguk, bahkan bila mati tidak dihadiri jenazahnya.

Kebaikan itu terhimpun dlm 4 jenis dan dgn itu tercapai darjat wali (yakni disamping melakukan kewajipan agama) iaitu:
1. Lapar
2. Diam
3. Menyendiri
4. Bangun malam (bertahajud)

Menunda amal perbuatan (kebaikan) krn menantikan kesempatan yg lebih baik suatu tanda kebodohan yg mempengaruhi jiwa.

Hendaklah kamu berilmu pengetahuan sebelum kamu menjadi ketua, sebab sesudah menjadi ketua, tidak ada jalan lagi bagimu mencari ilmu pengetahuan. (Imam Syafie r.a)

Org yg berakal itu adalah org yg akalnya dapat mengawal segala sifat mazmumah (keji). (Imam Syafie r.a)

Barangsiapa yg menyukai bila Allah menutupinya dgn kebaikan maka hendaklah dia bersangka baik terhadap manusia lain. (Imam Syafie r.a)

Jangan diikut perangai lampu, menerangi org lain tetapi diri sendiri terbakar. Contohilah perangai bulan, tiap kali bertentangan dgn bulan dia mendapat cahaya baru. (Al-Kindi)

Akal ialah pendapat sendiri manakala naqal ialah mencontohi pendapat org terdahulu. (Ar-Raazi)

Di antara org bijak, org paling bijak tahu bahawa ia hanya tahu paling sedikit. Di antara org yg bodoh, org paling bodoh terfikir ia tahu paling banyak.

Org yg berilmu selalu berdoa, Ya Allah kayakanlah aku dgn kekayaan ilmu, hiasilah aku dgn perhiasan sopan santun, muliakanlah aku dgn kemuliaan taqwa dan cantikkanlah aku dgn kesihatan yg sempurna. (Ibnu Najar)

Tidak akan mungkin memahami kehidupan ini melainkan dgn memandang masa lalu. Dan tidak akan mungkin kita dapat menjalani kehidupan ini melainkan dgn memandang masa hadapan.

Apabila berlaku satu kesalahan, maka baikilah dgn mengenali kesalahan itu.

Jadilah bersama2 org yg menahan amarah dan org2 yg memberikan kemaafan kpd org lain.

Doa memberi kekuatan pd org yg lemah, membuat org tidak percaya menjadi percaya dan memberikan keberanian kpd org yg ketakutan.

Jika kejahatan dibalas kejahatan, itu adalah dendam. Jika kebaikan dibalas kebaikan itu adalah biasa. Jika kebaikan dibalas kejahatan itu adalah zalim. Jika kejahatan dibalas kebaikan itu adalah mulia dan terpuji.

Semulia2 manusia ialah siapa yg mempunyai adab, merendahkan diri ketika berkedudukan tinggi, memaafkan ketika berdaya membalas dan bersikap adil ketika kuat.

Berkata Imam Al-Ghazali

Jika kau ingin petunjuk iman
Kuatkanlah dirimu utk menerima segala musibah
Bertenang dlm menangung segala kepahitan
Sifat sabar terbentang dlm dadamu

Lisanmu perlu dikunci
Matamu perlu dikawal
Rahsiamu disembunyikan & hanya dilihat Allah shj
Namamu jgn terkenal
Pintumu tertutup
Mulutmu tersenyum
Perutmu lapar, hatimu luka
Hindari dari terkenal, pangkatmu terpendam

Keaibanmu tersembunyi dari umum
Setiap hari menahan kepahitan dari zaman dan teman
Sedangkan hatimu menurut
Siangmu berbakti kpd org ramai
Tanpa membangkit2nya

Sepi dari pandangan
Ambillah kesempatan pada malam itu
Jadikan ia jalan dan persiapan untuk hari Kiamat.

Renungkanlah!!

Sarung paku tarik paku
Paku berada di dalam dulang
Cari aku di dalam aku
Aku berada ditempat yg terang

Paku berada di dlm dulang
Dibawa org dari tanjung
Aku berada ditempat yang terang
Sedikitpun tiada yg melindung

Dibawa org dari tanjung
Mari dimasak gulai lemak
Sedikitpun tiada yang melindung
Tetapi sebaliknya hendaklah disemak

Selesai sudah dimasak lemak
Mari dibuat makan kenduri
Apabila telah selesai disemak
Baru kenal rahsia diri

Selesai sudah makan kenduri
Tok Alim baca doa selamat
Apabila kenal rahsia diri
Baru kita merasa nikmat

Mari berburu ke padang datar
Dapat rusa berbelan kaki
Jikalau berguru kepalang belajar
Ibarat bunga kembang tak jadi

Ramai org berebut-rebut
Hendak menuju ke tanah lapang
Sila tuan-tuan pergi menuntut
Ilmu hidup dipakai mati ditumpang

Tuah dan Jebat hendak bertarung
Bertarung kerana titah raja
Tidaklah mata menjadi sarung
Sarung jua menjadi mata

Halia ini tanam-tanaman
Ke barat jua akan tumbuhnya
Dunia ini pinjam-pinjaman
Akhirat jua akan sesungguhnya.

Nostalgia Lagu
Anak Kecil Main Api

anak kecil main api
terbakar hatinya yang sepi
airmata darah bercampur keringat
bumi dipijak milik org
nenek moyang kaya raya
tergadai seluruh harta benda
akibat sengketa sesama la kita
cinta lenyap diarus zaman
indahnya bumi kita ini
warisan berkurun lamanya
hasil mengalir ke tangan yang lain
pribumi merintih sendiri
masa depan sungguh gelap
terkenang peristiwa semalam
tertutup lah hati terkunci mati
maruah peribadi dah hilang
kini kita cuma tinggal kuasa
yang akan menentukan bangsa
bersatu la hati bersama berbakti
pulih kembali harga diri
kita sudah tiada masa
majulah dengan gagah perkasa
jangan lah terlalai teruskan usaha
melayu kan gagah di nusantara 2x .....
Bangkitlah Melayu
Sajak “Melayu” Usman Awang
Melayu itu orang yang bijaksana
Nakalnya bersulam jenaka
Budi bahasanya tidak terkira
Kurang ajarnya tetap santun
Jika menipu pun masih bersopan
Bila mengampu bijak beralas tangan

Melayu itu berani jika bersalah
Kecut takut kerana benar
Janji simpan di perut
Selalu pecah di mulut
Biar mati adat
Jangan mati anak
Dalam sejarahnya

Melayu itu pengembara lautan
Melorongkan jalur sejarah zaman
Begitu luas daerah sempadan
Sayangnya kini segala kehilangan

Melayu itu kaya falsafahnya
Kias kata bidal pusaka
Akar budi bersulamkan daya
Gedung akal laut bicara

Malangnya Melayu itu kuat bersorak
Terlalu ghairah pesta temasya
Sedangkan kampung telah tergadai
Sawah sejalur tinggal sejengkal
Tanah sebidang mudah terjual
Meski telah memiliki telaga
Tangan masih memegang tali
Sedang orang mencapai timba
Berbuahlah pisang tiga kali

Melayu itu masih bermimpi
Walaupun sudah mengenal universiti
Masih berdagang di rumah sendiri

Berkelahi cara Melayu
Menikam dengan pantun
Menyanggah dengan senyum
Marahnya dengan diam
Merendah bukan menyembah
Meninggi bukan melonjak

Watak Melayu menolak permusuhan
Setia dan sabar tiada sempadan
Tapi jika marah tak nampak telinga
Musuh dicari ke lubang cacing
Tak dapat tanduk telinga dijinjing

Maruah dan agama dihina jangan
Hebat amuknya tak kenal lawan
Berdamai cara Melayu indah sekali
Silaturrahim hati yang murni
Maaf diungkap senantiasa bersahut
Tangan diulur sentiasa bersambut
Luka pun tidak lagi berparut

Baiknya hati Melayu itu tak terbandingkan
Selaga yang ada sanggup diberikan
Sehingga tercipta sebuah kiasan:
“Dagang lalu nasi ditanakkan
Suami pulang lapar tak makan
Kera di hutan disusu-susukan
Anak di pangkuan mati kebuluran”

Bagaimanakah Melayu abad dua puluh satu
Masihkan tunduk tersipu-sipu ?
Jangan takut melanggar pantang
Jika pantang menghalang kemajuan;
Jangan segan menentang larangan
Jika yakin kepada kebenaran;
Jangan malu mengucapkan keyakinan
Jika percaya kepada keadilan

Jadilah bangsa yang bijaksana
Memegang tali memegang timba
Memiliki ekonomi mencipta budaya
Menjadi tuan di negara Merdeka
PERSAHABATAN
SAHABAT yg beriman ibarat mentari menyinar...
SAHABAT yg setia bagai pewangi mengharumkan...
SAHABAT sejati menjadi pendorong impian...
SAHABAT berhati mulia membawa kita ke jln ALLOH...

Memilih Sahabat Baik Dan Beriman

Sahabat umpama penyuluh yang menerangi kegelapan. Di dalam kitab Hidayatul Salikin Imam Ghazali ada menyatakan: “Hendaklah kita memilih sahabat dengan 5 syarat.”

Orang Yang Berakal
Jika kita berkawan dengan orang kurang berakal ( jahil ) mungkin akan menyebabkan perkelahian. “Seteru yang berakal itu terlebih baik daripada kawan yang tidak berakal.” Seteru akan menegur kita apabila kita melakukan kesalahan. Perkara ini akan membolehkan kita membaiki kesalahan kita. Manakala sahabat yang tidak berakal akan mendiamkan diri walaupun kita melakukan kesalahan.

Baik Peribadi Dan Perangainya ( Akhlaknya )
Jangan bersahabat dengan orang yang jahat perangainya. Begitu juga orang yang sangat pemarah, derhaka kepada ibu bapa, tidak solat, tidak puasa dan orang yang meringan-ringankan agama.

Orang Yang Soleh
Jangan berkawan dengan orang yang fasik. Fasik ialah orang yang mengekalkan dosa besar dan dosa kecil. Seorang yang takutkan Allah S.W.T. tidak akan mengekalkan dosa besar atau dosa kecil. Sabda Nabi s.a.w: “Jangan engkau bersahabat melainkan dengan orang mukmin dan jangan engkau makan melainkan dengan orang-orang yang bertaqwa.” ( Abu Daud dan At-Tarmizi )

Jangan Bersahabat Dengan Orang Yang Sangat Kasih Pada Dunia
Barangsiapa yang bersahabat dengan orang seperti ini adalah umpama racun yang akan membunuhnya kerana tabiat kawan itu akan menjadi ikutannya. Sabda Nabi s.a.w: “Sangat kasih kepada dunia itu kepada segala kejahatan dan kesihatan.” ( Ibnu Abid-Dunya dan Al-Baihaqi )

Maksud kasih kepada dunia di sini ialah perkara-perkara yang bertentangan dengan suruhan atau larangan Allah S.W.T. dan Nabi s.a.w.
Walaupun ia seorang peniaga, tetapi di dalam perniagaannya itu mengikut suruhan dan meninggalkan larangan Allah dan Rasul-Nya s.a.w serta ia mengingati Allah, dikira agama (ibadatnya). Sebaliknya jika ia beribadat atau beramal tidak mengikut kehendak Allah dan Rasul s.a.w atau ia lalai daripada Allah dan mengingati dunia, ibadat itu dinamakan dunia, walaupun pada asalnya ibadat itu adalah agama. Sabda Nabi s.a.w: “Barangsiapa yang melakukan sesuatu perbuatan ( amalan ) yang bukan daripada perintah kami, maka ia adalah ditolak.”

Orang Yang Benar Perkataannya ( Jujur )
Janganlah suka berkawan dengan orang yang suka berdusta. Orang yang suka berdusta itu tidak dapat dipercayai agama dan dunianya. Demikian akan membawa kepada kebinasaan dunia.
Sabda Nabi s.a.w: “Tiga perkara barangsiapa yang ada salah satu daripadanya, maka ia munafik meskipun ia berpuasa dan solat. Apabila bercerita, ia berbohong, apabila berjanji nescaya ia menyalahi janjinya, apabila diberi amanah, ia khianat.”

Siapakah Sahabat Yang Baik
Seorang sahabat bertanya kepada Rasulullah s.a.w: “Siapakah yang menjadi sahabat yang paling baik bagi kami?” Jawab Rasulullah s.a.w: “Seorang yang apabila kamu memandangnya, kamu teringat akan Allah, apabila kamu dengari cakapnya, bertambah pengetahuan kamu tentang Islam, apabila kamu melihat kelakuannya kamu teringat kehidupan akhirat.”

Broadband with extra savings (Part 1)

2009-11-11T16:02:00.013+08:00

Last moth, for some reason suddenly my internet start to crash tremendously. So I have to call the call center. The call center person stated that my wireless broadband package volume quota is 3 GB. The call center person added that I had exceed the volume quota available which is recorded 7 GB under my account.

Thus, I will experiencing low internet connection, stability until next month arrive when the whole volume quota system will reset and start from zero. The call center person also recommended me to not exceed the quota or otherwise I will experience low connectivity again.

Hence, as this month began. I start to monitor my data usage carefully so I won't exceed the volume quota. As I started to monitor my data usage, I also do a little research regarding this whole internet connection stuff. Upon my discovery, I stumbled upon many amazing facts which I want to share with everyone.

List of all our local service provider

(Noted that the actual amount might vary from what stated below)

As you can see, this is pretty much all the broadband provider within Malaysia. I'm using Maxis wireless broadband right now. The 3GB Volume Quota with RM98 monthly charge (minus RM10 because I'm postpaid user).

I'm sure you are comparing all the package available right now. And all you can think like "My plan is not bad after all..", "What is this kid trying to do..", "I wonder if I should change my broadband package..", "Is this for real...

Unfortunately, I cannot tell you due to the time constraint..

I'm sorry I have to stop here right now..

stay tuned for Part 2 of this...

wkwkwkwkwkw....

Murphy's Law

2009-11-10T18:13:00.000+08:00

Every rule has an exception except the Rule of Exceptions.

Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD.

Don't let go of something until you have a hold of something else.

When you wear new shoes for the first time, everyone will step on them.

You cannot force Murphy's Law to happen and you can't use it in reverse.

When something goes wrong, you cannot find the solution in the instruction booklet, but someone else always does.

Everything in life is important, important things are simple, simple things are never easy.

Think about it, complete the circle.

It takes forever to learn the rules and once you've learned them they change again.

You will find an easy way to do it, after you've finished doing it.

The wind will always blow opposite to your hairdo

The probability of the toast landing peanut-butter-side-down is directly proportionate to the cost of the carpeting.

A valuable falling in a hard to reach place will be exactly at the distance of the tip of your fingers.

If a valuable falls in a hard to reach place at a distance shorter than the tip of your finger, as soon as you try to reach it you'll push it to that distance.

If it looks good,

And it taste good,

And it feels good,

There has got to be something wrong some where,

So be careful.

Behind every little problem there's a larger problem, waiting for the little problem to get out of the way

When you really need something, its either not available, or can't be found. When you don't need it, its either available, or lays around in plain sight.

Whenever you cut your finger nails, you find a need for them an hour later.

The file you are looking for is always at the bottom of the largest pile.

Nothing is impossible for the man who doesn't have to do it himself.

If something is likely to happen AND desirable, it won't happen.

Two wrongs don't make a right. It usually takes three or four.

If the truth is in your favor no one will believe you.

Laws are like a spider web, in that it snares the poor and weak while the rich and powerful brake them.

Stupidity is the fundamental driving force of the Universe, which explains why stupid people always go wrong.

If your action has a 50% possibility of being correct, you will be wrong 75% of the time.

If you plan for something to go wrong, and it doesn't go wrong, it would have been ultimately profitable for it to go wrong.

The difference between Stupidity and Genius is that Genius has its limits.

Those who don't take decisions never make mistakes.

Anything that seems right, is putting you into a false sense of security.

If everything seems great, its already gone wrong.

The only time you're right, is when its about being wrong.

The only times something's right, is when everyone agrees its wrong.

If for some reason Murphy's Law fails to operate, it is building up for something big.

The person ahead of you in the queue, will have the most complex transaction possible

Every problem is replaceable with a bigger one.

Trust only those who stand to lose as much as you.

You can't expect the unexpected, otherwise there would be no need for the word unexpected

If you lose something that is replaceable (textbooks, clothing etc) as soon as you buy a replacement the original will surface.

Better to be a pessimist than an optimist because when you say the glass is half empty it will have to be refilled

When things are going right, you won't notice

And we'll end this page with something optimistic (don't hit me).

Don't worry about Murphy's Law, you know it's gonna happen anyway, so just get on with it and get it over with!

Exception to the rules

2009-10-23T05:35:00.005+08:00

Everybody need to know that there always an exception to the rule..

It was raining dog & cat on the few others day..

So I decided to be a Mr Nice Guy and send friends of mine to their hostel..

Unfortunately, it all just remain a nice thought..

This is because I cannot send them to their hostel because we been blocked by the security guard. Just a moment away before I could drive in, the security guard quickly close the gate as a clear signal that STUDENT CANNOT ENTER THE HOSTEL AREA USING VEHICLE!!!

I totally understand that rule, I'm not some loon who couldn't understand something so simple. We are undergraduate for god sake. But then, all I ask is just an exception to the rule. All I wanted to do is just send a few guy to their hostels. Is it too much to ask?

I always follow the rules, I completely understand that rules are made to simplify our life. But sometimes we need to ignore the rules. Focus on the people. This whole situation reminds me of the Terminal movie with Tom Hanks as their lead role. The situation when a stranger brought a medicine for his dad but he didn't have paper because he didn't know. The supervisor follow the rule & end up being a total jackass.

This is just a friendly reminder to all people, especially to law enforcer and people with authority. Follow the rules, and remember there always exception to the rules.

A tale of bunny and turtle..

2009-10-18T13:59:00.003+08:00

I'm sure everybody have heard the race between bunny and turtle & how the turtle beat the crap out of the bunny..

It supposed to teach us something about the perseverance & work hard...

Enough said, there are a lot of version of this rabbit and turtle race..

but I like the fairy tail version..

in the version, like all version, the bunny lost the first race.

but then the bunny ask for a rematch..and yes, as we guess it the bunny won the rematch..

matter fact, the turtle only won the very first race because of the rabbit negligence..

it's an absolute pure coincidence that a turtle can won..

but then, the turtle who had won before..

think it can recreate the moment..

then the rematch go on and on until a thousand rematch..

the turtle achieve nothing but lose all the time..

so the ratio is 1:999...

moral of the story : nurture vs nature = nature wins

Nurture Vs Nature

2009-10-18T13:35:00.003+08:00

It's been on everybody wish-list to win this fight..

However, we just can't win this war..

we are just like a cockroach compare to them..

there are always a gap between we and them..

It is a useless struggle..

no matter how much effort we put up with..

we are nothing but loon and daffy in a fool's paradise..

we are supposed to lost this war..

it's already decided from the beginning...

Why Bill Gates SOLD OFF Microsoft

2009-09-16T07:47:00.000+08:00

Subject: Problems with my new computer
Dear Mr. Bill Gates,
We have bought a computer for our home and we have found some
problems, which I want to bring to your notice.

1. There is a button 'start' but there is no 'stop' button. We request you to check this.

2. We find there is 'Run' in the menu. One of my friends clicked 'run' he ran up to Amritsar ! So, we request you to change that to 'sit', so that we can click that by sitting.

3. One doubt is whether any 're-scooter' is available in system? I
find only 're-cycle', but I own a scooter at my home.

4. There is 'Find' button but it is not working properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot trace the key with this ' find'
button, but was unable to trace. Please rectify this problem.

5. My child learnt 'Microsoft word' now he wants to learn'Microsoft sentence', so when you will provide that?

6. I brought computer, CPU, mouse and keyboard, but there is only one icon which shows 'MY Computer': when you will provide the remaining items?

7. It is surprising that windows says 'MY Pictures' but there is not even a single photo of mine. So when will you keep my photo in that.

8. There is 'MICROSOFT OFFICE' what about 'MICROSOFT HOME' since I use the PC at home only.

9. You provided 'My Recent Documents'. When you will provide 'My Past Documents'?

10. You provide 'My Network Places'. For God shake please do not
provide 'My Secret Places'. I do not want to let my wife know where I go after my office hours.

Regards,

Banta

Last one from me to Mr Bill Gates :

Sir, how is it that your name is Gates but u are sellingWINDOWS?

100 POINTER

2009-09-05T19:43:00.006+08:00

At last..after hundred of money & hour wasted..
I reach the level 100..
next goal level 200.. (-.-)"'

Translate this..

2009-08-23T11:07:00.009+08:00

I was hangout with some friends of mine at Old Town near KLCC when a group of Chinesse ladies happen to sat beside our table..then a friends of mine who happen to know that I can speaks in Chinesse asks me what on earth are they talking about. Then I told her that these Chinesse ladies are speaking in Kantonesse which is unfortunate for us because I'm only speaking Mandarin. Surprisingly, my other friend starts taking interest on the fact that I can speak Mandarin. I was cool for the first 10minutes as I get this kind of attention all the time. But then, she keep on asking me to translate various item or word to mandarin.

When she ask, what is "I love you" in chinesse. I replied " Wo ai ni"

Then, what is "I want to hit you". Consequently, "Wo yao ta ni"

hence, what is "coffee", "tea". "ka fei", "cha"

"computer", "car" and "kuala lumpur". "tian nao", "che" & "Ji lom po"

and then the list go on and on and on..

However, there are few things that I can't translate..

that because I graduated from Chinesse school like 9 years ago.

there tons of Mandarin word slip out of my brain

furthermore, I only get "C" in my Mandarin Language..

What upset me most is when I couldn't answer her translation when it is too difficult for me such as "watchin movies", "parking lot", "oil station".

(Note : It's not like I didn't know, it just that I forgot)

Hence, not the couldn't answer upset me. It just the way she respond when I say I don't know. I act all cool but deep in my heart, I just wan't to tear up this girl.

In my defense, we are not perfect. We usually forgot everything we supposed to know. I usually forgot what is today date, even worse sometimes I confused what year is now.

Furthemore, its like you guys know English any better. We all been learning english from we are kindergarden and till now, on university stage. We still learning it. Yet, most of us still inconfident with ourself and don't know most of the word. Sometimes, we even choke ourself up when a lecturer told us to respond in english.

Thus, instead for make fun of me for have such a lousy capacity in remembering..how bout take a look around.. U are certainly not the pick of the dish either.

(Why Im being so emotional over something so ridiculous??)

Moral of the stories : Never assume someone is good at something just because that someone been there and done that. And..NEVER NEVER and NEVER ask me for any difficult Mandarin translation anymore. If I doing such a great job in translation, right now I probably working as translator for Chinesse corporate.
