Its been a long time since i visit this blog..since my birthday lahh..waaahhh!!! seriously im not a serious blogger..seriously not..cannot establish myself as that..coz i failed to make my time on to this..failed like 100% fail!! teruk...terukk...shameful! oh..begitu lame sekali rse sbb everytime opening of the entry, mesti cakap pasal mende yg same..which is...'blog berabuk'...abeh tu nak wat camne..dah mmg i am busy like a bee..
Kesahnye, as i had mentioned in previous entry..i am now working in a new company..so, to tell you the truth, i am struggling now..i am trying to win a battle against my self..to fit in an alien environment..which, not only alien, but highly competitive, fast moving, corporate, sophisticated, initiative working environment that demands my double effort...frankly speaking..i never felt this difficult to fit in an environment..once someone said to me that i am easily fitted in any situation or environment (warning : this is not bragging!)..but this time, i feel the difference...its really hard for me to catch up everything..becoz everything is moving super fast here....
The work and work scope, is totally fine..i know that i am mentally ready for this kind of workload...going back late and piles of works is in my list...but the environment...the struggling to mix up with ppl..the running that i have to do so that i'll feel that i am at par with them..the expectation that i have to meet (maybe my boss didn't expect much, or maybe she did...but i feel that she did expect me to be as per my years of experience lah)..sometime is very tiring..maybe because this is like, after 3 years working with fully bumi company, although its a corporate one, i have to compete with other races...furthermore, its not like 'some' other races, its their one of the best...
When i first came in (back in my Day 1 in this co.), the person who welcomed us (me n 2 other fella) said that, people who are working here are carefully selected, from one of the finest, because, according to her, besides the co.'s business plan, it is also a place to train future leaders..when i heard that phrase, i felt like this must be exaggerated..anybody who welcomed u to a new place must said something nice about their home..but in my middle 3rd week here...i can feel that, the phrasing is completely true..you'll see the difference in each and every of the staffs..you can feel how confident and fully driven they are.. i seldom see people lepak or simply chit chat...most of them, in fact all of them are actually doing their work..like no room to chit chat or simply hanging on ppl's desk gossiping..the only time i can see ppl mixing up is during lunch hour..the rest, they are simply busy...It doesn't mean they don't know how to relax and play..but, they just know when is the suitable time to relax and play..Maybe the workload is sky high because we're newly set up. Or maybe, that is just who they are...I don't know....But one thing for sure, this is definitely not my comfort zone. Not just yet. This is definitely the place where i can, no, i need to challenge myself (the biggest challenge is to meet the expectation of my boss specifically, and the company entirely) and sharpen my skill....this is the place where i have to give 200% focus on my work and plan my game for future me. This is where, i need to think not just analytically, but also creatively...
Sometimes regrets do hit my thought when the tiring and anxiety consumed me. But when i reminisce back to the day i was interviewed, i started to realize that we just have to go and do it. We just have to be brave, put extra effort, challenge ourselves, be confident (but not over confident), and just do it. The key point is to be brave and confident. Because when you scared or in doubts, they are clearly shows in your eyes and people can see it.
Yeah its hard! Really, i started to feel it. And i know now that i'm scared and anxious, therefore, i need to do something about this. Really need to.
One quote that i would like to share with all of you. I heard this in one morning while driving to work on RedFM radio show when they are discussing on life coach career...
".....what we are today is the result of our actions in the past..so, if we want a certain thing in a future, we have to shape our actions and makes some adjustments now..."
And i cannot stop my self from agreeing with this statement..coz i believe, in order to reach a certain success that we dream of now, we have to have a goal (a specific one) and works towards it. In the meantime, or during the journey, we have to challenge ourselves. Because, as my Deputy CEO said, when we keep challenging, we basically generating ideas and be initiative, therefore, we can learn two times faster than regular people. That's how ordinary people becomes extraordinary.
Wallahualam...all this i share solely to remind myself of what i am thinking now in the future..may all of this ignites yours and benefited you as well..peace yaw!

how do you like ur french toast?
Yes peep..how do u like ur french toast??
french toast sedap dimakan dengan ape saje...u can have it either sweet or savoury...both tastes good, i believe...u can either eat it with honey or ketchup..u can eat it with curry or plain soup...or u can sandwich it with cheese...all those things to give additional taste to the toast..to make it taste much more better...the taste surely varies depending on the additives u put in..
Without those thing a french toast will be a boring normal french toast....
Just like ur life..
Without friends, families, acquantances, partners, flings, secret admirers, stalkers, enemies, etc...ur life wud be a plain boring life...
And now, throw ur arrogance and go out and meet people...u'll found how uniquely amazing they are..how much u can learn from them..
And give urself a room to meet the wrong ones..u might learn much more from them...
...a soft reminder to me from myself...

Success is a journey
ok, aku buat entri ni lepas aku bace blog kawan aku...oooo, sakonah (bukan nama sebenar) ..ko update blog time office ye...nasib baik ade stated via blackberry smartphone..kire ok la update blog gune phone..nampak macam ko main2 sms la, which is acceptable during office hour...since blog ko xder ruangan komen, terpakse aku buat satu entri khas untuk memberi komen atas tulisan ko..oh, ye, aku sengaje tak nak link blog die kat sini sebab so far die belum approve aku nak link-kan blog aku ngn blog dia. mahu privacy katenye..jadi we have to honour that. but let me quote her writings..
Ok, topik ni ade kaitan dengan ape aku cerite mase lunch kat mamak bawah opis kitorg (yang merupakan sumber makanan seharian kami tak kira pagi petang siang dan malam)..cerita aku adelah tentang situasi dalam family aku belah mak aku (makcik2 dan pakcik) yang aku perasan memang ade timbul kasta antara lepasan SPM dan lepasan ijazah. Mungkin sbb culture family aku ni yang memang mementingkan kecemerlangan dalam akademik sampai tahap pelik kalau tak sambung belajar lepas SPM. Dan antara sepupu-sepupu pon mesti compete with each other dan competition adelah sangat jelas antara sepupu2 yang ade big exam dalam tahun yang sama. Soalan pertama yang keluar kalau berkumpul satu family pon adelah "periksa dapat no. berapa?" Dan kalau ade big exam, tekanan perasaan adelah lebih tinggi sebab mesti semua orang akan tanye sepantas kelajuan internet unifi, berapa resultnye dan akan di share sefamily.
Jadi, aku dapat rase tekanan itu kat sepupu2 aku yang maybe tak berape excel dalam study. Diorang slalu tak masuk ngan set2 yang blaja tinggi ni. Sampai kadang2 aku rase aku yang paling tak excel antara my siblings sebab diorang ade yang dah jadi doktor dan ade yang belajar luar negara berbanding aku yang hanya lulusan ijazah dalam negara (adik-beradik aku bukan ramai pon, 4 org je). Tu yang buat rase nak sambung study jugak tu..tapi macam malas nak bace buku dan buat research dah. Plus, macam tak cukup wang nak sambung study...Ok, tu mari kite fikirkan kemudian.
Menjadikan family aku sebagai contoh, aku tengok kebanyakan pakcik dan makcik aku semua keje makan gaji dan takde pon yang bukak bisnes sndiri. Maka, tiada yang pakai kereta hebat macam BMW, Ferrari, Porsche, Mercedes dan sebagainya. Maka, melalui pengamatan aku, kebanyakan orang yang excel in study selalunye..aku tak kate semua, tapi selalunye mesti akan kerja dengan orang dan orang yang menggaji org2 yang excel ni pon bukanlah orang yang excel dalam study. Itulah realiti dunia.
Kalau tengok big2 player dalam construction industry, especially those in private sector, kebanyakan owner or founder of the company tu lulusan SPM je. Aku bagi satu contoh, Tan Sri Yeoh Teong Lay, the founder of YTL, hanya lulusan sekolah menengah saje. But yet, he was listed as the 421st most richest person in the world. Contoh lain, bumiputera pertama yang termasuk dalam senarai 10 terkaya di Malaysia iaitu Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary hanya merupakan lulusan tingkatan 5. Diorang proven sukses dalam perniagaan dan mempunyai aset berbillion ringgit.
Aku tau topik ni dah lapuk dan dah banyak argument. Mungkin ade yang kate "boleh laa..time kite sebuk2 study dulu diorang dah start berniaga"....tapi cube korang rewind sket mase same2 amek keputusan SPM dulu, dan bile result slip korang tunjuk 11A1 dan kawan sebelah 1A2B3C4D1F, ade tak korang rase riak dan pandang rendah kat kawan tu. *jengilkan mata*.
Pucuk pangkal, rezeki masing-masing Allah dah tetapkan. Jadi, tak perlu pandang rendah pada mereka yang tak mempunyai lulusan ijazah. Rezeki tu Tuhan dah janjikan pada sape2 yang berusaha. Kalau mase depan anak kita tak minat belajar tapi suka berniaga, jangan dihalang, sebab 90% sumber kekayaan adalah daripada perniagaan. Yang penting usaha dan doa. Kalau kite yang makan gaji pon, usaha dengan tekun dan kerja dengan penuh minat dan ikhlas, tak mustahil kita pon boleh jadi antara pemegang saham dalam syarikat-syarikat gergasi, walaupon kita bukan founder nye. Sebab, pada pendapat aku, kedua-dua kasta ini perlu collide untuk menjadikan institusi lebih jitu.
Maka, tiada lagi kasta-kasta ye adik-adik...semua orang sama saje dan punya kelebihan masing-masing. Tak perlu memandang rendah pada sesiapa sebab kita tak layak melakukan begitu. Bagi aku, hidup kene ade matlamat / goal. Yang paling penting adelah usaha yang kite lakukan dalam perjalanan untuk mencapai matlamat tersebut, itu yang dipanggil sebagai kejayaan. Tak kire la ape matlamat kite pon, selagi kite ade satu target dan kite usaha dan doa ke arah target tu, insyaAllah hidup tak akan kucar-kacir. Segala masalah yang timbul is just bumps during the journey, and we have just to keep pedaling towards the ultimatum.
"Moral of the story, ...tak semesti nya ko bijak..ko akan kaya...ko belajar la berhempas pulas..utk mendapat segulung ijazah..tapi kalau ko tak doa supaya rezeki ko murah pada Tuhan..ko tetap akan berada di takuk lama..jadi jangan mudah memandang rendah pada org yg hanya berkelayakan SPM...rezeki nya mungkin lebih murah dari anda jika dia berusaha dan berdoa pada tuhan..
Maka..berdoa dan berusahalah..!! Auummmmmm!!!"

Full Moon
This entry shud be done yesterday night. But since i was too tired to sit in front of my lappy after 2 hours straight of not-so-professional badminton training, i had no time to write this post. Balik training trus merangkak naik atas katil dan tertido.
All i wanna say that, yesterday, bagi siapa yang perasan, we had a full moon. Ye, kalau ikut bulan islam pon, kite mmg dah di tengah bulan Muharram. But, this one is different. The moon was so big and bright and beautiful. The good weather with lil bit of stars at the night sky added the beauty of the moon.
And I was awe-struck by its beauty while driving back home from the badminton training or, to be precise, after 'lepak mamak' session with Cik Sal. Can't get my eyes off the moon. Umpama melihat seorg putera raja kacak lagi kaya sedang melambai2 ke arah daku. Even, when i was driving, my eyes was not on the road or on the traffic, but i kept watching the unmoving moon. My eyes was locked to it and there was a bumpy feeling when the moon was out of my sight and i was hastily tried to locate the moon. Like i don't want to miss any second of the sight of it. It was like fell in love at the first sight (yeah, i now exactly how it felt).
And I was driving at 50km/hr (which is so not me, for those who knows) so that i have more time to see the moon, and i was speeding up when i lost it. It was like driving to the moon. Kalau lah boleh drive je sampai ke bulan, dah lame aku buat. heh!
Mungkin kejadian 'full moon' ni disebabkan kejadian gerhana bulan sabtu lepas. Ye ke? Mungkin! Mind my knowledge in 'ilmu alam' is not so much. haha..
But today, i cant see the moon anymore. I think it is because of the cloudy weather with a lil bit of rain we are having tonight. Seolah-olah bulan yang cantik semalam macam merajuk je tak nak kuar dan menyorok belakang awan. And we cant do nothing about it. Just hoping that we will still have the chance to meet with the full moon again.
Food for thought...that is how life goes. Nobody can really know what will happen tomorrow. Today, we might experience good stuffs, have good vibes, feeling successful, but next morning might not be as bright as yesterday. The most important thing is, to cherish the good moments that we are having today, dont let it slipped away through our fingers without really feel it, and to always be cautious to whatever possible or impossible thing that may happen in the future.
The beautiful moon we had last night.....

WW = Wise Women
Wise women don't compete.
She just too in love with herself that makes everybody around her fall in love with her.
Wise women won't hurt another women's heart by stealing a heart.
She just simply put her heart in a jar and hoping a strong, brave n kind heart will open it.
Wise women won't get her ego high.
She just let an ego goes down by itself.
.......Enough said.

ROUND and BALANCE
The world is what is all aROUND you.
And yes, the word 'round' is always been used because the world, the earth, is literally spherical. It moves just like a moving ball in its own axis.
That is why, sometimes you are up in the sky high and sometimes you are at the deepest sea. When you are in antarctica, you wont know when you're gonna get to the artic ocean. And if you are lucky enough, you'll be stuck at the equator.
BALANCE in life is what's the best. Too much of power will make you loss and powerless brings you nowhere. So when you feel like you have the power, maybe it's good to look down and appreciates the one who gives you to feel the power. And if you're fell powerless, it's time for you to work hard and strive to get some powers.
When you're up, don't ever look down to people. Because you'll never know that maybe someday that people will jump higher than you. Do not underestimate people because you don't know their capabilities and talent. One day A is a CEO and B is an exec, but the other day, B may be a Managing Director which A got to report to.
Life is about being balance. The world may be round, but life is about getting to the middle.

The time traveller...eh, time travels
Yerp..teringat citer the time traveller's wife..bagi sape yang dah menonton citer tu mesti korang akan berangan dapat superpower macam tu..dapat travels through time..pasti ade banyak mende yang nak di ubah di mase lepas so that we'll have a better future..
Yes..time travels super duper fast nowadays..sedar tak sedar we're already in the middle of November of 2011 which means it'll took another one and a half month to the end of 2011..teringat mase awal tahun dulu..i was so excited to go through this year with lots of plan ahead.. i had anticipate that its going to be a busy year..and it is a busy year. I still remember i was smiling and excited thinking about vacations and trips that i was gonna have this year..all four of them, Krabi, Kota Kinabalu, Europe and Gold Coast, Australia.. and all these four has happened...i've ended it in last October..and i missed each one of them..
Along the way, i gained so much experiences, saw so much thing, did lots of activities, had so much fun..it was really great time with family and friends. And i am grateful to Allah to give me such chances..
Betul kata orang2 tua..jauh perjalanan luas pemandangan..those 'pemandangan' cannot be describe by words..ok, boleh, tapi x precise..you will not feel the same way as the person who experience it..it always been that way..you'll never know the real feeling unless you really in it..really experience it physically and mentally..rasa dengan kelima-lima deria yang dikurniakan Allah SWT..that is why i urged all my friends to go out and experience yourself..the experience will definitely open up your mind and heart and you'll be grateful for that..
Masa yang diberikan pada kita tak panjang..moreover, we will never know when the Death Angel will come visiting. Jadi masa ni lah kene gunakan sepenuhnya. Life is about learning to balance things up..there's a says that aura yang baik adalah aura yang berada di tengah2 dan seimbang...and i believe it's true..Agama pun menuntut kite bersederhana/wasatiah iaitu berada di tengah-tengah...mungkin setiap org mempunyai angan-angan dan impian yang berbeza..but getting out from your comfort zone is the principle..it'll let you learned new things..something that you don't know before.. and since time doesnt wait, we have to move fast..make faster decision and act faster...
The worlds is getting older..looking at her condition now, i come to realize that there are lesser time for me to go see other part of the world..it choked me when thinking bout so many countries and places i haven't see..Korea, Japan, India, New Zealand, Middle East..name it...those are countries i never explore..damn they were good places and must visit...
Every single human have the same 24 hours in a day..not a single human being have one single extra second..not one..the question is, how do we fill it...apart from our 'routine', do we actually do SOMEthing? Do we gain anything from that SOMEthing we did? Do we know that SOMEthing is really worthy? I personally envy friends who's married and have kids. From my point of view, having your own family (with your life partner and kids) is life's ultimatum...tapi i percaya Allah dah tetapkan rezeki dan jodoh masing2..and pals, meramaikan khalifah Allah di bumi is the most noble thing in the world..please do proud of it and be grateful that you had the chance to do it..
So, dun even think that your life is sucks when you sees other people travel all round the world and do all kind of activities..because the most important thing is what did you do with the TIME that has been given to you...
Now i'm thinking what i need to do with mine...and really do it...!
Now? it's already 2.45am and i think i need to sleep..
p.s:/ I always say that if i have another life, i wanted to be a surgeon! haha..tu la..dulu belajar malas..dah x dapat jadi dokter dan buat keluarga bangga..haha..

Amazing love between father and daughter..
Found this amazing amazing video while browsing the facebook (yep..just browse around! no mood to put any update on it anyway)...
Pals...look at the daughter...so naive and unpretentious..singing her heart out loud under her pj's..with sloppy just-get-up-from-bed looks..very pure and innocent..she's so sincere with her singing and doesn't even care whether her pitch and tone is at the right place or not...she just having fun singing with her dad and she's enjoying every moments of it...
Falling in love with this video, so i googled bout this duo..and i found this link..they actually have their own official website..reading the story making me realize that the future is not for us to tell..we may get what we least expected..all we need to do in this whole beautiful world is just to survive the life in the most honest way...what goes around, do comes around..if we are doing all good deeds with sincere, good things will come to us eventually...all we need to do is to be patient...
Do check out their other videos..they sang lotsa other hot songs by famous artistes..its all over the youtube with millions of viewers..great great videos..

off and off again..bile nak on nie??
The thing is..i am not yet mastered the self-controlling skill...
People said that there were several phases in surviving from break ups..i said, yes, there is such a thing..some people may not realize that they are going thru that phases, which brought them in denial..but for me..yes, i believe in such thing..so, i googled..and in found these..
Seven (7) phases in recovering from break-ups - by i dont know who the hell the writer is..
1. Denial
You are not believe and will not believe that that the relationship is no good for her. As a human it is normal to fear loss, which is why sometimes many of us stick to the same person or same routine because it is safe and reliable, even if it is hurting you and causing you to stay stuck in a rut. No matter how many people advise you to let go of this friendship that is sucking the life out of you, you refuses to. You are in denial to assess the real situation of the relationship. But not for long.
2. Blame & Loss
Time is a great friend to many of us. With time, people’s flaws start to show and the recipient does not stay so patient as before. A few months later you will starts to decide for yourself that your partner is actually no good for you and this is when the friendship officially breaks up. In the place of the relationship you had for so long, you will now feels loss, which hurts like crazy. And so the blaming begins. You'll blames your ex for being a user. You'll blames yourself for being so gullible. You'll blames the world if need be, while grieving over the loss of something that you thought would always be true and beautiful.
3. Acceptance
You'll starts to accept what has happened and the blaming decreases. The feeling of loss is still there, but it does not hurt as much. You'll believes this happened for a reason and starts to assess the situation logically.
4. Re-bound
You'll eventually meet new people which will be the re-bound subject. Though you have accepted what has happened to be fate, you'll still wants to replace that feeling of loss immediately. This may cause you to make some rash decisions on choosing future partner and you will definitely wake up with a relationship-hang-over if you're not careful.
5. Guilt & No Trust
People said that there were several phases in surviving from break ups..i said, yes, there is such a thing..some people may not realize that they are going thru that phases, which brought them in denial..but for me..yes, i believe in such thing..so, i googled..and in found these..

This may cause you to make some rash decisions on choosing future partner and you will definitely wake up with a relationship-hang-over if you're not careful.
5. Guilt & No Trust
Over with the re-bound phase, you'll start to feel guilty. Guilty over having a re-bound phase, feeling guilty because you told your ex so many things you shouldn’t have said, guilty because you think you could have handled the situation a lot better.
With the guilt comes the sense of not being able to trust anyone. You have been hurt and feels wary when approaching new relationships, scared that the same whirlpool will come suck you into a breakup. You're still hurting and needs time alone to heal the wounds so that you are fully prepared for a new relationship.
6. Healing
This may take a few weeks to a few months, lasting a year if the initial damage was quite bad. The healing stage gives you plenty of time to forgive those who let you down, to forgive yourself. Without interruptions from new relationships, you need to focus on your own personal development, both spiritually, mentally and physically. You need to regain your confidence and love yourself again. You need to be able to trust yourself and not fear your own decision making. You also needs to know that you worth so much more than getting yourself into lousy relationships. You value your self-worth and makes a pact to be true to yourself always.
7. Moving on
The final phase happens when you'll feel you are over the hurt of the past. You can look at it with your mind and not your heart and emotions. You'll be well and truly over it and understands it was a hard lesson you had to take which has passed. You are now ready to move on into the future whilst bearing in mind the lessons you've learnt so as not to repeat any mistakes. You have recovered and knows if you ever saw your ex you will treat them with indifference because they cannot hurt you anymore. The past is in the past now. And the future is bright.
*********************
Truthfully, i am not sure which phase i am now. I am too involved and do things super fast when connecting with the opposite gender even though i knew that he is not a good prospect non-so-ever. I loss my focus on work and my life. All i wanted is to fill in the emptiness. Indeed!
I really need to drag myself out of this situation cause i dont want a relationship-hang-over. Dun think can survive another relationship being damaged. Going into a relationship now is really a bad idea.
So, i need to stay focus on achieving my goals. Really need the focus!
Despite of that, i had a blast Raya Haji celebration with family and friends. We had our family berbeque dinner..an adhoc one..but somehow..me, angah and mama manage to keep it together fantastic dishes with the help from few of my cousin..we had marinated chicken, ikan cencaru, sotong, lamb, and also the main dish and side dish; spaghetti, potato salad, Vietnamese salad and chips...good work everybody...kalau camni punye kerjasama, hari2 buat bbq pon takpe..hehe..
Gamba celebration? haha..xder..nnti i curik dari camera sepupu2 i yg ade hari tu...hehe..
OK now! Get up and go to work! Focus, focus, focus!

Damn Annoying!!
Hah..seperti tajuknyelah..there are few types of people that annoys me to the max..
A) The type of people when someone asked, they will, with corker face, answered "Adeeellaaaahhh..." even its just a mere question where the questioner solely has consecrated intention to get information on something. This type of answer is well-known as statement "Bajet Artis". Moreover, this person themselves who started or at least ignite the conversation. Contohnye...si A cakap kat si B "Ko tauuu..semalam aku pegi romantic dinner..." Pastu si B ni pon tanyelah balik (sekadar nak bagi tindak balas dan nak jaga hati) "Yeke besnyee..dengan sape?"..si A jawab balik "...adeeelllaaahhh..." Hah..memang nak kene penyepak laju2..eh..tadi kau yang nak cerita sangat kan? Alih2 tanye tanak jawab plak..hah..bajet anda artis popular lagi cantik setangding Taylor Switft. Wat de ef!
B) People who doesn't have the clue who they actually are. They don't have their own passion, they own preference, their own likes and dislike. This type of people just simply copy cat someone else's preference. Ok, this one is quite subjective...maybe A likes what B liked..maybe they are COINCIDENTALLY like the same thing. But, if this person keep like what you liked or keep doing what you did, isnt that a bit annoying. Yeah, maybe some people will feel proud or something being someone's idol, but isnt it disturbing just knowing that your every move is being copy catted? Ok, maybe ko rase perasan org tu ikut semua benda yang kau buat, tapi bila orang keliling kau dah tegur, isnt that something? Hah, pikirkan.
C) People who acted like 13 years old girl when they are actually thirty...i repeat...THIRTY! Yes, this type yang senang benau nak merajuk, butthurts, lepas tu tanak tegur org ramai dan buat muka dengan harapan akan ade orang datang dan tanye "You..you kenape??" dan dia akan terus menangis 8 baldi air mata atau tarik muka 18jengkal. Ade macam attention seeker sket pon ade. You know, like small kids, they will do almost anything, crying, screaming to get our attention. Yep, this type of person not so different from the small kids. Plus, perkara yang perlu dirajukkan itu bukanlah seberapa sangat..its just org nak gurau baling ular getah depan muka dia yang mengakibatkan terkeluar jeritan ala maknyah..itu je..perlulah kau merajuk sampai sebulan kan..and..kalau org dah mintak maaf tu, xpayah lah nak merajuk sampai 6 bulan..ape lg kau nak? Jongkong emas?! Heh! Dannn..when people around him/her making adults jokes, he/she will show his/her disgusted face ditambah lagi dengan perilaku jungkit2 bahu buat sign nak muntah..adus..come on la..kalau xnak dengar cool jokes camtu, sila lepak dengan budak skolah rendah!
Ha..stakat nie je la dulu..nnti teringat lagi tulis lagi..ade banyak ni sebenanye..haha..ni bukan sbb anggap diri perfect, tapi, cuba mengaku, org2 begini mmg akan buat anda annoy jugak kan?

Wanita - by Kahuna
Aku rasa minggu lepas adalah minggu paling menarik dalam hidup aku. Ye, paling menarik dalam tempoh 22 taun aku hidup, mengalahkan segala-gala pengalaman hidup aku selama ni.
Kenape?
Okey kalau nak terangkan memang at least kene lapan jam depan komputer. Jadi aku bagi beberapa butir maklumat sudah. Seperti yang diumumkan beberapa bulan lepas, aku dijemput menghadiri health conference kat Norway selama 10 hari. Para tetamu yang dijemput berucap dalam majlis tersebut adalah putera raja Norway dan bini beliau, menteri luar negeri Norway, aktivis gypsy dari Croatia, pakar etnologi dari US, pakar statistik tersohor dunia (Prof Hans Rosling), dan paling penting, bekas menteri hal ehwal wanita dan timbalan perdana menteri Afghanistan, Dr. Sima Samar. Beliau adalah seorang wanita feminis, tak pakai tudung, dan berpendidikan tinggi. Semua ciri berikut memang melayakkan beliau menjadi kambing korban dalam majlis aqiqah Taliban.
Dan aku dapat berbual dengan beliau. Sejak-sejak buku Khalid Hosseini pasal Afghanistan di bawah payung Taliban, dan bagaimana hidup masyarakat Afghanistan yang sangat patriarchal di mana pompuan memang dilayan seperti hamba yang tak patut dibagi pendidikan sebab bile umur 13 dah kene kawin, memang aku sangat tertarik macam mana wanita macam Dr Sima Samar ni boleh wujud. Dengan bantuan kerajaan Norway, die boleh bukak sekolah untuk pompuan kat Afghanistan, walaupun diugut oleh Taliban. FYI, ni bukan kat sekolah rendah di mane kalau ko kene ugut, paling-paling busuk pun budak tu pancitkan tayar beskal ko je. Dengan Taliban, kalau die ugut, ko wajib takut sebab ini bermakna memang jarak kau dan malaikat Izrail hanyelah sekangkang cencurut.
Kitorang berbincang pasal banyak topik, antaranya adelah topik perbezaan pendidikan di kalangan wanita Afghanistan dan Malaysia. Situasi yang sangat berbeza, tapi ade persamaan. Kalau kat Afghanistan, pompuan tak dibenarkan belajar walaupun diorang nak gile babi. Lepas akil baligh akan dikawinkan dengan saudagar minyak atar (kat sane kire kaya la tu) berumur 80 taun yang miang keladi sedangkan benda yang masih boleh menegak pada badan beliau hanyelah ibu jari.
Kat Malaysia pulak, kateku dengan yakin, pompuan dibenarkan belajar sampai ke bulan tanpa sekatan, malahan kat universiti lagi ramai pompuan daripada laki. Tapi lepas ade degree, master atau PhD, banyak yang mengambik keputusan untuk berenti keje dan membantu suami yang tercinta untuk membesarkan keluarga, sedangkan kebijaksanaan wanita kat Malaysia kalau dieksploitasi dengan baik memang boleh menyebabkan pembangunan yang lebih pesat. Dan aku mengeluarkan ayat kontroversi yang menyebabkan aku jadi popular sekejap kat conference tersebut, yang berbunyi : "How do we solve the problem of overqualified housewives in countries like Malaysia?"
Jawapan beliau : "I'm pro-choice, and I think if it is their choice to be housewives, then they should do whatever they want."
Persoalannye adelah, adekah itu pilihan mereka? Atau adekah itu keputusan yang diambik atas tekanan sekeliling? Sorang minah ni cakap kat aku, "Pompuan tau yang lelaki takkan berenti keje untuk jaga anak. Maka pompuan la yang kene buat, kerana kami lebih matang dan lebih bersikap keibuan." Duhh, memangla pompuan yang kene bersikap keibuan. Kalau aku nampak bapak tetibe nak menetek anak, lari tak cukup tanah aku jawabnye.
Masalahnya, kenapa kene ade orang yang berenti keje? Mak bapak aku keje, tapi aku elok je membesar dengan riang ria. Takde plak aku pegi isap gam belakang pondok jaga sekolah.
Maka persoalan aku dibiar terumbang-ambing, seperti perahu tak berpengemudi. Karam tidak, bergerak pun tidak. Ruangan komen dibukak untuk diskusi.
p/s : Eh tetibe aku tak reti nak ektivet balik komen. Maka takde komen la nampaknye. Heh.
I like what i read..and when i like it i'll share it with everyone who read this blog to share the awesomeness and power of an editorial piece ~ how it'll bring emotions to you...you're feeling aite, woman?!
So, as far as im concerned, i am a career-oriented person, and proud of it!
p.s: Thank you very much Mr Kahuna for sharing this info and letting me copy and paste kat blog sendiri.... thank you..thank you..thank you dude!

Dead Sea vs The Sea of Galilee
Salam to all..
I terpanggil untuk copy and paste an email been forwarded by my fellow colleague...it's an interesting piece..
Baca dengan teliti dan hayati nya..
So, what a thought kan? Hopefully we can see ourselves as The Sea of Galilee as life is just a loan from God. A loan to share.
A bit about history of Dead Sea (as mentioned by one of my colleague as well)
Sama2 lah kita muhasabah diri..
I terpanggil untuk copy and paste an email been forwarded by my fellow colleague...it's an interesting piece..
Baca dengan teliti dan hayati nya..
Why it is called "Dead Sea?" - Author : Unknown
Sitting in the Geography class in school, I remember how fascinated I was when we were being taught all about the Dead Sea. As you probably recall,the Dead Sea is really a Lake, not a sea!
Its so high in salt content that the human body can float easily. You can almost lie down and read a book! The salt in the Dead Sea is as high as 35% - almost 10 times the normal ocean water. And all that saltiness has meant that there is no life at all in the Dead Sea. No fish. No vegetation. No sea animals. Nothing lives in the Dead Sea.And hence the name: "Dead Sea".
While the Dead Sea has remained etched in my memory, I don't seem to recall learning about the Sea of Galilee in my school Geography lesson. So when I heard about the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea and the tale of the two seas - I was intrigued. Turns out that the Sea of Galilee is just north of the Dead Sea. Both the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea receive their water from River Jordan. And yet, they are very, very different.
Unlike the Dead Sea, the Sea of Galilee is pretty, resplendent with rich, colorful marine life. There are lots of plants. And lots of fish too. In fact, the sea of Galilee is home to over twenty different types fishes.
Same region, same source of water, and yet while one sea is full of life, the other is dead.
Why?
Here apparently is why. The River Jordan flows into the Sea of Galilee and then flows out. The water simply passes through the Sea of Galilee in and then out - and that keeps the Sea healthy and vibrant, rich with marine life.
But the Dead Sea is far below the mean sea level, that it has no outlet. The water flows in from the River Jordan, but it does not flow out as there are no outlet streams. It is estimated that over a million tons of water evaporated from the Dead Sea every day. Leaving it salty. Too full of minerals. And unfit for any marine life.
The Dead Sea takes water from the River Jordan, and holds it. It does not give. Result? No life at all!..
Food for Thoughts:
Life is not just about getting. It's about giving. We all need to learn from the Sea of Galilee.
We are fortunate to get wealth, knowledge, love and respect. But if we don't learn to give, we could all end up like the Dead Sea. The love and the respect, the wealth and the knowledge could all evaporate. Like the water in the Dead Sea.
If we keep the Dead Sea mentality of merely taking in more and more water, more money, more of everything, the results are obviously disastrous.
To make sure that we are living in the sea of our own life, we must have outlets, and many outlets!
For love and wealth - and everything else that we get in our life, we make sure we don't just get, we give too. Open the taps. And we'll open the floodgates to joy and happiness. Make that a conscious habit. To share is to give.
Similarly, communication is also a flow between two or more parties, and if one just receive and do not give, it eventually become a Dead Sea.
So, what a thought kan? Hopefully we can see ourselves as The Sea of Galilee as life is just a loan from God. A loan to share.
A bit about history of Dead Sea (as mentioned by one of my colleague as well)
Dead Sea tu ialah lapisan bumi yang telah diterlangkupkan oleh Jibrail a.s. atas perintah Allah s.w.t. terhadap kaum Nabi Lut a.s. Dead Sea menjadi suatu tempat yang dilaknat Allah sehingga hari kiamat sebagaimana yang Nabi Mohd saw nukilkan. Sebab itulah tiada makhluk Allah seperti ikan dan tumbuh2an yang mahu tinggal di Dead Sea tersebut….
Sama2 lah kita muhasabah diri..
