Ramadhan Mubarak...
Assalamualaikum wrb,
I pray you are well InsyaAllah
The month of Ramadan is a time for inner reflection where we engage in a month long process of repentance, self control and renewal. It is also a time of intensive worship, increased recital of the holy Quran, giving charity, purifying one’s behaviour and performing good deeds. May Allah (SWT) grant us all the taufiq to reach the blessed month of Ramadan and make great use of this month by implementing the above and getting closer to Allah (SWT).
Together we make this Ramadhan a truly successful month by performing good deeds and increasing our relationship with Allah (SWT).
Wassalam

World Cup - part 11
Congrats Spain... you took your chances well and come out as winner...
Holland, you had your chance but at the end of the day, it's the goal that count...
With this, Spain will surely rank as no 1 in FIFA ranking, they are not only the world champion but also existing European Champion...
This is a first for Spain and also the first Europe team who win world cup outside their continent...
At this stage, they have a complete package i.e. good coach & well balance good player in every department including reserves... This is the part I missed out and only realised during final when they replace Xavi with Febregas... Imagine Arsenal star player as reserve in Spain...that speaks how much depth they have in reserve...
Congrats Spain... hopefully I'm still around to write on world cup again 4 years from now...

World Cup - part 10
Ahah... last night the Germans showed me again why I choose them as one of my favorite team... played with more enthusiast, purpose & organised... kudos to them for 3rd placing... they prove me wrong by still wanting to be 3rd instead of 4th...
Uruguay, particularly Forlan, you guys are great but at times, luck do played a part as prove in 92 minutes... anyway, it is still a great achievement for the team to reach that level...
The focus now will be on the final... both are not my favorite team, but my pick will be Spain if they can play the way they play German's in the semi...
Hope to see explosive final & may the best team win...

World Cup - Part 9
3rd & 4th placing game will start in 2 hours time... both my pick for the final but instead now fight for 3rd & 4th... what a pity...
Whoever win will depend how fast they recover from their shock defeat... Uruguay may be more interested to fight for 3rd placing because it is an achievement for them to get 3rd placing whereas Germany only aim is the world cup itself... based on this, Uruguay will play their heart out and win the game...
But deep inside me, I would love to see German win as they are definitely better...
May the best team win...

World Cup - part 8
My...my...my... Germany? What had happened to you?
You did not play the way Germans play, the whole team looks like too casual, no spirit to win and no urgency... You let Spain dictate the pace & hardly fought for the ball... what's going on? Too tired with your win over Argentina? It's 360 degree change compared to your quarter Final game...Shame on you guys...
Thinking that German v Holland is boring, now, Spain v Holland will be worst... for the first time, I did not look forward to final game... whoever win, win lah... Both Holland and Spain are almost the same, so chances are 50% - 50% even though Spain is more experience & had higher ranking than their opponent... Good luck...

I need a ‘space’ too...
Some people simply don’t get it...
There are times we need a ‘space’ to ourselves... but they keep on 'loitering' around and ‘hanging’ around you... when you show your displeasure, they still didn’t get it... so you got to tell them off... being me i.e. blunt and direct, it really got to my nerve when they still don’t get it even after you told them off...
Yes, there are times we want you by our side... there are times, we want you to be close... but there are also times we need to be alone... so, please read in between the lines... be smart/alert when we need you around and when we need to be alone... after all, I never disturb your privacy, so please respect mine too...
Lastly, I hate people who intrude into my privacy blatantly... surely they won’t like it if I did the same... so please stop being busy body reading other people messages & ears dropping other people calls... I simply hate this... even when I was schooling, my parents had showed me respect by not reading my letters or ears dropping my call etc... these I value very much till now...
So, if you value your privacy & freedom, please respect mine too...

Summon & Government...
Seems like the 1Malaysia Government finally show that whatever money/fund they promise to Rakyat is actually taking back from the Rakyat too...
I'm amazed whenever the PM makes so many promises as to how is he gonna fulfil the promises as we in business world is well aware of the financial situation of the country... our kitty is almost dry & yet the PM still 'throwing' money where ever he visit...
So now guys...
- if you got summon, pay up coz you're now blacklisted & you wont be able to renew your licence & road tax.
- if you got outstanding on utility bills, pay up coz those GLCs are now making their round in collecting the arrears
- if you have yet to update your income tax, do it fast coz those tax guys are looking for you
- if you drive, drive slowly coz you will see speed trap & road blocks all over places even during peak hours
- if you mod & tint your vehicles, get back to standard coz JPJ guys would love to bump into you
- if you default in house assessment, local council summon etc, pay up fast coz those guys now suddenly recognise you
Old tricks but with a bit of 'show', presto... we Rakyat got fooled again...hahaha

World Cup - part 6
Interesting.... I got 2 right & 2 wrong predictions...
Uruguay v Ghana
Even tough Uruguay wins (as predicted), but I'm rooting for Ghana through out the match... I'm sad because they deserve to be in the semi instead of Uruguay... but then again, they did not capitalise on the opportunity they had... to me, this boiled down to experience...
Holland v Brazil
Brazil played well in the first half... but they start losing focus after playing with 10 men and paid the price... Congrats Holland...
Argentina v Germany
Both my favorite team & I had mixed feeling on the result... As mentioned in my earlier posting...this game will depend on how they perform during the game itself as I rate 50% - 50%... Germany played exceptionally well by mark-out Messi & employed a fast moving game... as a result, Argentina caught back pedalling most of the time... the score line is expected in such circumstances... Sorry Messi, you're still in the league of Maradona...
Spain v Paraguay
Nothing much to say, it went as predicted...
So now we gonna see Uruguay v Holland and Germany v Spain... Instead of possibility of seeing all Latin team in the final, we may end up seeing all Europe team final...
My pick, Uruguay v Holland... I would love to see Uruguay win but my bet will be on Holland based on quarter final performance... Uruguay fate will depend on how Diago Forlan perform...
Germany v Spain, it will be Germany if they can keep up with the kind of performance displayed against Argentina... Spain is a good team but it will be tough for them due to their dependency on few individuals as compared to Germany team work...
Anyway, the ball is round and anything can happen...Let's see...
Uruguay v Ghana

Exam Result...
This morning went to my daughter school to see her teacher on her exam result & overall performance...
No wonder she insists that I go instead of her mom... she got 1st in her class with more A's this time around...
Even though she got more A- than A+, I'm still satisfied with her overall performance... especially when listening from her teacher about her conduct and discipline in the school...
Aimi,
Abah may have been very strict on you & you hardly heard me praising you too... This is because I've set a very high standard on you & want you to excel in your life... I may not say it often, but I always proud of you & love you, no matter what... It is not than I don't want to praise you, but I'm more worried you get complacent like before...
Personally, education is not 'THE' main thing but it is indeed VERY important... Not the straight A's that I'm looking for coz I've seen most successful people are not the straight A's student anyway, most of them are just average... so for me, even though I set 85% as your min benchmark, but as long as you get around 75% - 80%, I’m happy enough...
My other concern is also on your religion education because with strong religion foundation, you can move far... Religion includes your moral, discipline etc... To be successful, you must have a balance between education & religion foundation... The challenges in future is far more complicated for you, hence, you need to be strong to face them...
Mama & I will not be there for you forever, so you must be strong to face whatever comes in your life...
Whatever it is, I'm still proud of you & love you always...

World Cup - part 5
Yes... Yes... Yes... my predictions on 2nd round were 100% right...
As predicted, Spain will be playing against Paraguay in the Quarter Final... Despite of that, my hats off to Japan who played exceptionally well...
As much as I would like to see all latin team in the semi final, Paraguay performance last nite was a big disappointment... if they keep it that way, I think Spain would easily beat them...
Looking at current scenario, my predictions will be either on the following:
Possibility 1 - my wish (winner in bracket)
Uruguay v Ghana (Uruguay)
Holland v Brazil (Brazil)
Argentina v Germany (Argentina)
Paraguay v Spain (Paraguay)
Possibility 2 - more realistic
All the same except Spain will win the tie against Paraguay...
No matter what, the match between Argentina v Germany will be the most interesting... either team can win the match depending on player's form on the match day... Again, I expect whoever win, the winner will go all the way to the final...
As much as everybody predicted that it's gonna be all latin final, I'm not surprise to see Europe vs Latin in the final too... This is because if Germany win, they may play against Spain in the semi, hence ensured at least 1 euro team in the final...
Anyway, let's not jump the gun yet... let's see how's the outcome for Quarter Final... it's getting more interesting now and for me, come Friday nite, you know where I will be...

My Dear Wife
Today is my other half 42nd Birthday... Happy Birthday My Dear... I love you always...
For the first time, I'm wishing you here as I never know whether I will get the same chance again next year...
My dear wife,
I may not express this often, I may not show it much in public either but deep in your heart, I know you know how much I love, care & admire you...
You may think that I never notice, but today I want you to know that I do know & remember how much you had sacrifice for the family...
You are the ones that bond the family together... you are the main link in the family, without you, the family that we built together in the last 19 years might be disintegrate...
I'm sorry for my naughtiness or things that i do that might hurt you... but no matter what, you remain my No 1 in my heart...
Happy Birthday my dear wife, Salmiza...
Your hubby...

Jokes - Why We Should Not Flirt!!!
Hahaha... this is hilarious...
A couple was invited to a swanky family masked fancy dress halloween party. The wife got a terrible headache and told husband to go to the party alone. He, being a devoted husband, protested, but she argued and said she was going to take some aspirin and go to bed and there was no need for his good time to be spoiled by not going.
So he took his costume and away he went... The wife, after sleeping soundly for about an hour, woke without pain and as it was still early, decided to go to the party.
As her husband didn't know what her costume was, she thought she would have some fun by watching her husband to see how he acted when she was not with him. So she joined the party and soon spotted her husband in his costume, cavorting around on the dance floor, dancing with every chick' he could and copping a little feel here and a little kiss there. His wife went up to him and being a rather seductive babe herself, he left his new partner high and dry and devoted his time to her. She let him go as far as he wished, naturally, since he was her husband.
After more drinks he finally whispered a little proposition in her ear and she agreed, so off they went to one of the cars and had passionate intercourse in the back seat. Just before unmasking at midnight, she slipped away and went home and put the costume away and was sitting up reading when he came in, so she asked what kind of time he had. Oh, the same old thing. You know I never have a good time when you're not there.' Then she asked, 'Did you dance much?'
He replied, 'I'll tell you, I never even danced one dance. When I got there, I met Pete, Bill Brown and some other guys, so we went into the spare room and played poker all evening.'
You must have looked really silly wearing that costume playing poker all night!' she said with unashamed sarcasm.
To which the husband replied, Actually, I gave my costume to my Dad.... apparently he had the time of his life

Safe Driving Tips When It Is Raining!
Thought of sharing the following info for the benefits of fellow reader
GOOD VISION IN A DOWNPOUR
How to achieve good vision while driving during a heavy downpour.
How to achieve good vision while driving during a heavy downpour.
We are not sure why it is so effective; just try this method when it rains heavily. This method was told by a Police friend who had experienced and confirmed it. It is useful...even driving at night.
Most of the motorists would turn on HIGH or FASTEST SPEED of the wipers during heavy downpour, yet the visibility in front of the windshield is still bad...... In the event you face such a situation, just put on your SUN GLASSES (any model will do), and miracle! All of a sudden, your visibility in front of your windshield is perfectly clear, as if there is no rain.
Make sure you always have a pair of SUN GLASSES in your car. You are not only helping yourself to drive safely with good vision, but also might save your friend's life by giving him this idea..
Try it yourself and share it with your friends!???
Try it yourself and share it with your friends!???
Amazing, you still see the drops on the windshield, but not the sheet of rain falling.? You can see where the rain bounces off the road. It works to eliminate the "blindness" from passing cars. Or the "kickup" if you are following a car in the rain. They ought to teach this little tip in driver's training. It really does work.
This is a good warning. I wonder how many people knew about this.

World Cup - part 4
So far for second round my prediction comes true... Hence, we will see the Quarterfinal as below:
Argentina v Germany
Uruguay v Ghana
Holland v Brazil
and my prediction for one more match will be Paraguay v Spain
Anyway, for the first time since World Cup started, I fell in love again with Brazil's game... eventhough I missed 'samba' but the individual skills was excellent in last night match... To me, the way they display their game last night, they can go far...
Since Argentina will be meeting Germany in next match, I now would love to see Argentina playing Brazil in final... This will be one of the classic final in World Cup history, if that happens....
Let's see...
Argentina v Germany
Uruguay v Ghana
Holland v Brazil
and my prediction for one more match will be Paraguay v Spain
Anyway, for the first time since World Cup started, I fell in love again with Brazil's game... eventhough I missed 'samba' but the individual skills was excellent in last night match... To me, the way they display their game last night, they can go far...
Since Argentina will be meeting Germany in next match, I now would love to see Argentina playing Brazil in final... This will be one of the classic final in World Cup history, if that happens....
Let's see...

World Cup - part 3
Seems like my predictions on 2nd round matches so far quite accurate...
Two of my favorite teams now will be meeting each other in the Quarter Final i.e. Argentina vs Germany.... This gonna be an explosive match which by right should be the final match instead...
Based on 2nd round matches, seems like both (Argentna & Germany) have equal chance to move to Semi Final... Either one is Ok with me but my bet will be on Argentina. I believe the winner of this game will go all the way to the final and lift the cup...
For Quarter Final, other than Germany vs Argentina, the next match is between Uruguay vs Ghana... both playing exciting game and for this, my bet wil be Uruguay due to their experience...
The other games in 2nd round and my pick would be:
Holland v Slovakia (Holland to win)
Brazil v Chile (Brazil)
Paraguay v Japan (Paraguay)
Spain v Porugal (Spain)
If that happened, it will be interesting to see the following games in the Quarter Final
Argentina v Germany
Uruguay v Ghana
Holland v Brazil
Spain v Paraguay
There's a possibility of us seing all latin team in semi if they win their respective games... anyway, let's take one step at a time... the ball is round...

Kalimah Allah disebalik logo Crocs?
I don't know whether this is done intentionally or not...but as a Muslim, I must highlight this to fellow Muslims...
Just take a look at the photo below;
Spotted anything?
Yup... Looks like nothing... just a photo of smiling crocodile...
It may look nothing in one glance... just like Coca Cola, but if you look deeper into Coca Cola logo through mirror, you will see in Arab : La Mecca, La Muhammad. which means No Mecca, No Muhammad (saw).
Now, let's look again... Turn the Croc logo upside down as below;
Did you see anything? It may apparent to you now the word ALLAH... look again below:
Are you surprise? Is this a coincident? Only God knows... But as a Muslim, we must be alert & always careful in protecting our faith, our Creator & our Messenger...
If you already own one, maybe the following tips may help...
a) Scratch the logo using knife or anything sharp till the logo is missing or distorted... .
or
b) Best is just destroy it...
Next inform all your friends, family & acquaintances on this... used whatever means like e-mail, facebook, blog etc to create awareness to fellow Muslims as it is our duty to do so...

What matter most...
Things had been a bit haywire lately... especially concerning my 'friends' lifestyle/behaviour...
Anyway, from my own eyes experience, not a single of them (including me) is an angel nor evil... anyway, as usual, i won't talk or pray on other people bad deeds...
I'm more interested in talking about me and how I felt...
Lately, some are a bit 'reserved' with me and mostly are due to 'stories' they heard and assume... to me, i don't care less because what matter most to me is what my love ones think of me and what Allah swt judge me...
I may be open and out spoken, but at least I'm not an hypocrite... who behave naive & innocent in front of people (or selected people) but transformed 360 degree when they are 'alone' or in front of 'accepted' eyes...
On the outside, i don't potray myself as an 'ustaz' but that does not mean I'm 'empty' inside on religious matter... I don't have to pray 5x a day in front of other people nor 'declare' it to people I want to pray first before anything... coz to me, I did it for Allah swt.... anyway, as always reminded by my parents & religious teacher, be like 'resmi padi, tunduk berisi'...
People may like to brag as though they are the most perfect people in the world, let them be... Allah swt knows better...
People may like to brag about their 'perfect' family, let it be...I don't care less even though some I've seen their ugly side... coz Allah swt will be the eventual judge...
People may like to brag about their job/profession, again... i don't care less but pray their excellent benefits/perks will be use towards things that blessed by Allah swt...
People may like to brag about their lifestyle, let it be... coz nothing concerning me... it's between them and Allah swt
People may like to think they are better/innocent than me... so let it... it's Allah swt to decide...
People may like to run me down, i don't care less either, coz it's Allah swt that will determine my fate... best is, if they accused me of something, if they are wrong or right, it's me who benefit most... so let it be...
Worst, when people who had been given a special 'gift' by Allah swt but decide to use their gift in creating havoc in other people lives...
In a nutshell, stop talking about others because what seems good in front of your eye/ear, may be ugly behind... the best & the purest thing to do is always, have good deed / intention of other people... & last but not least, don't care of what others think... just be yourself and let Allah swt decide the rest...

The Basic Difference...
One day a florist goes to a barber for a haircut. After the cut he asked about his bill and the barber replies, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The florist was pleased and left the shop.
When the barber goes to open his shop the next morning there is a 'thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.
Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replies, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The cop is happy and leaves the shop.
The next morning when the barber goes to open up there is a 'thank you' card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.
Later that day, a college professor comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replies, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The professor is very happy and leaves the shop.
The next morning when the barber opens his shop, there is a 'thank you' card and a dozen different books, such as 'How to Improve Your Business' and 'Becoming More Successful.'
Then, a Member of Parliament comes in for a haircut , and when he goes to pay his bill the barber again replies, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The Member of Parliament is very happy and leaves the shop.
The next morning when the barber goes to open up, there are a dozen Members of Parliament lined up waiting for a free haircut.
And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the ordinary citizens and the Members of Parliament.
Vote carefully next time...hahahaha

World Cup - part 2
Very interesting... so far most of my predictions are right... France & Italy was eliminated and England is lucky enough to escape so far... the Latin & Asian teams doing well too with most of them qualify to 2nd round... What had happened to Europe & Africa? By the way, I'm not surprise to see the downfall of Cameroon & Nigeria because just like Italy & France, their dependency on 'old horses' & 1 or 2 'dark horses' is insufficient to get them thru to the next stage...
USA surprisingly doing well so far & their game is quite interesting to watch... Asia through Japan & Korea is there but I doubt they will go beyond 2nd stage...
Match to watch in 2nd round surely will be between Germany & England... hahaha... the Europe giant is killing each other... From this game, it will be interesting to see the possibility of my two favorite team gonna meet each other in Quarter Final i.e. Germany vs Argentina (if both win in 2nd round)... For this (if it happens) I have no choice but to stick to Argentina...
Looking at current scenario, I'm not surprise to see at least 2 - 4 Latin team gonna be in the semi finals...
As at now, my prediction, the Latin Team will be the eventual world champion... but as usual, the ball is round... it will depend very much on how they perform on the day itself and a bit of luck too...
Let's follow the games & see what is the outcome after 2nd stage...

Mukjizat disebalik BISMILLAH
Bismillah, got this from my colleague...
BISMILLAH adalah sebutan/nama singkat dari lafaz ' BISMILLAHIR ROHMAANIR ROHIIM ' yang bermaksud ' Dengan nama ALLAH Yang Maha Pengasih lagi Maha Penyayang. '
KELEBIHAN-KELEBIHAN BISMILLAH
1. Yang pertama ditulis Qalam adalah BISMILLAH. Maka apabila kamu menulis sesuatu, maka tulislah BISMILLAH pada awalnya kerana BISMILLAH tertulis pada setiap wahyu yang Allah turunkan kepada Jibrail...
2. 'BISMILLAH untukmu dan rumahmu, suruhlah mereka apabila memohon sesuatu dengan BISMILLAH. Aku tidak akan meninggalkannya sekejap mata pun sejak BISMILLAH diturunkan kepada Adam. (Hadith Qudsi)
3. Tatkala BISMILLAH diturunkan ke dunia, maka semua a wan berlari ke arah barat, angin terdiam, air laut bergelora, mendengarkan seluruh binatang dan terlempar semua syaitan.
4. Demi Allah dan keagunganNya, tidaklah BISMILLAH itu dibacakan pada orang sakit melainkan menjadi ubat untuknya dan tidaklah BISMILLAH dibacakan di atas sesuatu melainkan Allah beri berkat ke atasnya.
5. Barangsiapa yang ingin hidup bahagia dan mati syahid, maka bacalah BISMILLAH setiap kali memulakan sesuatu perkara yang baik.
6. Jumlah huruf dalam BSMILLAH ada 19 huruf dan malaikat penjaga neraka ada 19 (QS.ALMuddatsir:30) .Ibnu Mas ' ud berkata: ' Sesiapa yang ingin Allah selamatkan dari 19 malaikat neraka maka bacalah BISMILLAH 19 kali setiap hari. '
7. Tiap huruf BISMILLAH ada JUNNAH (penjaga/khadam) hingga tiap huruf berkata, ' Siapa yang membaca BISMILLAH maka kamilah kekuatannya dan kamilah kehebatannya. '
8. Barangsiapa yang memuliakan tulisan BISMILLAH nescaya Allah akan mengangkat namanya di syurga yang sangat tinggi dan diampunkan segala dosa kedua orang tuanya.
9. Barangsiapa yang membaca BISMILLAH maka akan bertasbihlah segala gunung kepadanya.
10. Barangsiapa yang membaca BISMILLAH sebanyak 21 kali ketika hendak tidur, maka akan terpelihara dari gangguan syaitan, kecurian dan kebakaran, maut mendadak dan bala.
11. Barangsiapa yang membaca BISMILLAH sebanyak 50 kali di hadapan orang yang zalim, hinalah dan masuk ketakutan dalam hati si zalim serta naiklah keberanian dan kehebatan kepada si pembaca.

Petikan Hari Bapa - Nota Hati Seorang Lelaki (Pahrol Mohd Juoi)
Just to share this for the benefits of my blog reader....
Inilah cerita benar. Cerita benar seorang penulis yang Berjaya. Beginilah
kisahnya...
Entahlah apa yang selalu bermain pada fikiran ayah. Apabila saya ingin pulang kembali ke kota, dia kerap minta duit. Seakan-akan mendesak....
"Ada duit? Minta ayah sedikit.."
Saya masih ingat waktu itu kehidupan saya terlalu sukar. Untuk mendapat seratus ringgit di dalam poket pada satu-satu masa pun payah. Kalau balik kampung selalunya duit yang ada hanya cukup-cukup tambang. Mujurlah, isteri dan anak anak saya sudah faham. Alhamdulilah mereka 'sporting' dan tidak banyak meragam.
"Emak, ayah asyik minta duit. Bukan tak mahu bagi, tapi saya memang tak ada duit" Bisik saya kepada emak. Emak seperti biasa, berwajah selamba, sukar ditembak reaksinya.
"Bagilah beberapa yang ada," cadang emak pendek. "Takkan 5 ringgit?"
Emak mengganguk.
Saya rasa bersalah untuk memberi ayah wang sebanyak itu. Apalah yang boleh dibeli dengan wang 5 ringgit....Tapi kerana tidak mahu menghampakan harapan ayah dan ikutkan cadangan emak, saya gagahi juga memberinya.
Ayah selalunya tersenyum menerima pemberian saya. Tetapi yang mengejutkan ialah apabila kami sekeluarga berada dalam perut bas dalam perjalanan pulang ke kota. Di kocek anak saya sudah terselit wang sepuluh ringgit. Siapa yang bagi kalau bukan ayah? 10 tolak 5, saya masih 'untung' 5 ringgit. Geli hati mengenangkannya...
Begitulah selalunya tahun demi tahun. Apabila kami pulang ziarah ke kampung, saya akan memberi pemintaan ayah. Kengkadang terlupa, tetapi ayah akan selalu mengingatkan. Akhirnya, saya memang sediakan peruntukan khas untuk diberikan kepada ayah setiap kali pulang kampung. Kedudukan ekonomi saya yang masih goyah kekadang hanya mengizinkan wang dua ringgit untuk diberikan kepada ayah. Ironinya, ayah tetap dengan pemintaannya dan tetap tersenyum apabila menerima. Tidak kira berapa jumlahnya. Emak terus-terusan selamba. Saya masih sukar menandingi ketajaman rasa seorang isteri (emak) dalam mmahami hati suaminya (ayah).
Begitupun setiap kali dalam perjalanan pulang, kocek anak saya akan jadi sasaran. Kekadang itulah duit pelengkap membeli tiket pulang. Ayah akan setiap memasukkan duit yang melebihi jumlah saya berikan kepadanya. Saya tidak mengambil masa lama untuk memahami apa maksud tersirat disebalik perlakuan ayah itu. Dia meminta wang pada saya bukan kerana 'tidak ada', tetapi dia ada sesuatu yang lebih besar ingin dicapainya atau disampaikannya.
Namun, secara bertahap-tahap buku tulisan saya semakin mendapat sambutan. Bukan itu sahaja, perniagaan yang saya mulakan secara kecil-kecilan semakin membesar. Kalau dulu kami pulang ke kampung dengan bas, tetapi selepas beberapa tahun saya pulang dengan kereta milik sendiri. Saya masih ingat komen ayah ketika saya pulang dengan kereta kecil Kancil milik kami sendiri.
"Nanti, besarlah kereta kamu ini...." ujur ayah senyum.
Apapun saya tetap memenuhi permintaan ayah setiap kali pulang ke kampung. Wang saya dahulukan kepadanya. Dan ayah juga konsisten dengan sikapnya, ada sahaja wang yang diselitkan dalam kocek anak saya.
"Eh tak payahlah ayah..." sekarang saya mula berani bersuara. Ekonomi keluarga sudah agak stabil. Malu rasanya mengambil duit ayah walaupun perantaraan pemberian datuk kepada cucunya. Saya tahu dan sedar, hakikatnya ayah hendak memberi kepada saya sejak dulu, tetapi sengaja atau tidak ingin saya merasa segan, duit diberi melalui anak.
"Kenapa, dah kaya?" usik ayah. Hendak tak hendak, duit dikocek anak tetap diselitkannya. Cuma sekarang bezanya, duit itu tidak lagi 'dikebas' oleh saya. Dan dalam hati, saya mula berasa senang kerana jumlah yang saya berikan kepada ayah, kini sudah melebihi apa yang mampu diselitkan ke kocek anak saya. Tidak semacam dulu lagi, duit pemberian ayah kepada anak saya sentiasa melebihi duit pemberian saya kepadanya.
Masin sungguh mulut ayah. Tidak sampai tiga tahun, kami bertukar kereta!. Disamping menulis, saya menjadi penerbit. Perniagaan semakin rancak. Oleh sebab bilangan anak bertambah dan keperluan kerja yang meningkat saya sudah membeli MPV utuk kegunaan harian. Anak-anak mula menjejak menara gading.
Kehidupan semakin laju dan aktiviti semakin rancak. Namun sibuk sekalipun saya tetap pulang menziarahi ayah dan ibu. Anehnya ayah tetap memberi kepada anak saya walaupun kini saya telah dikenali sebagai korporat yang berjaya.
Rupa-rupanya, ayah memberi bukan kerana kekurangan atau kelebihan kami, tetapi dia MEMBERI KERANA ALLAH. Mencontohi Allah al-Wahhab itu!
Anda ingin tah apa pesan penulis itu kepada saya? Ya, mari kongsi bersama:
"Kini aku benar-benar faham bahawa ibu ayah yang tua bukan beban dalam kehidupan di dunia, lebih-lebih lagi dalam kehidupan di akhirat. Mereka bukan 'liabiliti' tetapi sebenarnya aset untuk kita (walaupun istilah itu sebenarnya kurang atau tidak tepat kerana ibubapa bukan benda). Rugi betul siapa yang mempunyai ibu bapa yang telah tua tetapi mengabaikannya.
"memberi kepada ibu bapa hakikatnya memberi kepada diri sendiri. Walaupun itu bukan niat kita ketika memberi, tetapi percayalah rezeki berganda akan pulang kepada kita semula. DOA MEREKA MUSTAJAB. Harapan mereka kenyataan. Kasih mereka bekalan. Benarlah sepertimana sabda Rasulullah s.a.w, keredhaan Allah terletak kepada keredhaan ibu bapa."
Baiklah, inilah sebenarnya rahsia 'perniagaan' yang jarang-jarang diperkatakan oleh tokoh korporat. Juga tidak pernah ditulis dalam mana-mana buku perniagaan. Masih punya ibubapa? MEMBERILAH KEPADA MEREKA.
Tidak ada? Tidak mengapa, memberilah kepada anak-anak anda. Tidak ada juga?
Memberilah kepada sesiapa sahaja. Kita sentiasa berfikir untuk memberi. Memberi kepada orang lain bererti memberi kepada diri kita sendiri walaupun itu bukan maksud kita ketika mula memberi!
Sahabat sekelian, Cerita dibawah menjadi IBRAH bagi kita semua.
Apa yang paling utama dalam memberikan khidmat terakhir kpd ibu ayah ialah MEMANDIKAN JENAZAHNYA, MENGKAPANKAN TUBUH MULIANYA, MENYEMBAHYANGKAN JENAZAH NYA DAN MENGKEBUMIKAN JENAZAHNYA. Lakukan dengan tangan2 kita sebagai anak2. Lakukan sahabat, lakukannya jika ditakdirkan ibu ayah kita meninggal dunia.
Saya menangis apabila ada sahabat saya menceritakan bagaimana ibu kepada Tuan Guru Dr Harun Din meninggal dunia. Bacalah sahabat pengalaman Dr Harun Din dan keluarganya.
Jiran kpd ibu Dr Harun Din (DrHD) menziarah ibunya pada waktu petang selepas asar. beliau memberi salam tetapi tak menyahut salamnya. Beberapa kali salam diberikan tapi tak ada jawapan. Maka jirannya itu mencari ruang mencari ibu Dr HD, akhirnya terlihat ibunya sedang sujud dalam solat. lalu jiran ini balik ke rumah dahulu. beberapa minit kemudian, datang semula berjumpa ibu DR. HD, dilihatnya masih sujud. firasat jirannya, ini ada yang tak kena. Lalu masuk ke rumah utk melihat dari dekat ibu Dr. HD. Rupa2nya, ibu Dr. HD telah kembali ke rahmatullah dalam masa ibunya sujud menghadap Allah. Ya Allah mulianya kematian ibu Dr.HD.
Perkara yg paling comel yg dilakukan keluarga DrHD ialah, menyempurnakan dgn tangan2 anak2 jenazah ibunya. Mandikan ibu, kapan ibu, sembahyangkan ibu dan kebumikan tanpa diusik orang lain ke atas tubuh ibunya. Ada jiran2 yg ingin melakukannya tetapi ditolak oleh Dr Harun Din, Hasan Din dan Ishak Din dengan hujah, "BERILAH SAYA SEKELUARGA PELUANG MEMBUAT KHIDMAT YG TERAKHIR UTK IBU".
Ketika hujah itu diberikan, seluruh masyarakat yg hadir melinangkan air mata kerana tawaaduk dan alimnya anak2 ibu itu. Paling menyayatkan hati masyarakat adalah apabila ketiga2 adik beradik ini iaitu Harun Din, Hasan Din dan Ishak Din turun sendiri ke lubang lahad mengebumikan jenazah ibunya. Ada beberapa orang yg hadir, memohon dan berkata, "Wahai Tuan Guru, biarlah kami buat semuanya ini menurunkan jenazah ibu Tuan Guru." Permintaan ini ditolak oleh DrHD dgn hujah yg sama "Berilah kami adik beradik peluang mengebumikan jenazah ibu ini kali terakhir". Seluruh yg hadir di kuburan ketika itu, mencurahkan airmata tawadduk di atas akhlak anak2 ibu yang diasuh hingga sealim sedemikian. Peristiwa ini disempurnakan hingga selesai.
HEBAT IBU ini membina akhlak dan keilmuan anak-anak mereka, maka tidak hairanlah kita semua bahawa Dr. HD , Hasan Din dan Ishak Din memang disegani oleh kawan dan lawan di Bumi Malaysia ini kerana "AKHLAK"nya yang mulia dan ALIM nya mereka.
Terus terang sahabat, ketika saya mendengar cerita ini, air mata saya melinang apabila tergambar ketika saya dan 11 orang adik beradik menguruskan jenazah ibu bersama Feb 2009 yang lalu. Ya Allah, rahmatilah ibu kami semua. Rahmatilah mereka dan Ampunkanlah kami. Wallahu A'lam.
Baca hayati, selami dan insafi...... Amalkan, doa ibu bapa amat mustajab... Bahagia dunia akhirat...

Dia meminta wang pada saya bukan kerana 'tidak ada', tetapi dia ada sesuatu yang lebih besar ingin dicapainya atau disampaikannya.
Namun, secara bertahap-tahap buku tulisan saya semakin mendapat sambutan. Bukan itu sahaja, perniagaan yang saya mulakan secara kecil-kecilan semakin membesar. Kalau dulu kami pulang ke kampung dengan bas, tetapi selepas beberapa tahun saya pulang dengan kereta milik sendiri. Saya masih ingat komen ayah ketika saya pulang dengan kereta kecil Kancil milik kami sendiri.
"Nanti, besarlah kereta kamu ini...." ujur ayah senyum.
Apapun saya tetap memenuhi permintaan ayah setiap kali pulang ke kampung. Wang saya dahulukan kepadanya. Dan ayah juga konsisten dengan sikapnya, ada sahaja wang yang diselitkan dalam kocek anak saya.
"Eh tak payahlah ayah..." sekarang saya mula berani bersuara. Ekonomi keluarga sudah agak stabil. Malu rasanya mengambil duit ayah walaupun perantaraan pemberian datuk kepada cucunya. Saya tahu dan sedar, hakikatnya ayah hendak memberi kepada saya sejak dulu, tetapi sengaja atau tidak ingin saya merasa segan, duit diberi melalui anak.
"Kenapa, dah kaya?" usik ayah. Hendak tak hendak, duit dikocek anak tetap diselitkannya. Cuma sekarang bezanya, duit itu tidak lagi 'dikebas' oleh saya. Dan dalam hati, saya mula berasa senang kerana jumlah yang saya berikan kepada ayah, kini sudah melebihi apa yang mampu diselitkan ke kocek anak saya. Tidak semacam dulu lagi, duit pemberian ayah kepada anak saya sentiasa melebihi duit pemberian saya kepadanya.
Masin sungguh mulut ayah. Tidak sampai tiga tahun, kami bertukar kereta!. Disamping menulis, saya menjadi penerbit. Perniagaan semakin rancak. Oleh sebab bilangan anak bertambah dan keperluan kerja yang meningkat saya sudah membeli MPV utuk kegunaan harian. Anak-anak mula menjejak menara gading.
Kehidupan semakin laju dan aktiviti semakin rancak. Namun sibuk sekalipun saya tetap pulang menziarahi ayah dan ibu. Anehnya ayah tetap memberi kepada anak saya walaupun kini saya telah dikenali sebagai korporat yang berjaya.
Rupa-rupanya, ayah memberi bukan kerana kekurangan atau kelebihan kami, tetapi dia MEMBERI KERANA ALLAH. Mencontohi Allah al-Wahhab itu!
Anda ingin tah apa pesan penulis itu kepada saya? Ya, mari kongsi bersama:
"Kini aku benar-benar faham bahawa ibu ayah yang tua bukan beban dalam kehidupan di dunia, lebih-lebih lagi dalam kehidupan di akhirat. Mereka bukan 'liabiliti' tetapi sebenarnya aset untuk kita (walaupun istilah itu sebenarnya kurang atau tidak tepat kerana ibubapa bukan benda). Rugi betul siapa yang mempunyai ibu bapa yang telah tua tetapi mengabaikannya.
"memberi kepada ibu bapa hakikatnya memberi kepada diri sendiri. Walaupun itu bukan niat kita ketika memberi, tetapi percayalah rezeki berganda akan pulang kepada kita semula. DOA MEREKA MUSTAJAB. Harapan mereka kenyataan. Kasih mereka bekalan. Benarlah sepertimana sabda Rasulullah s.a.w, keredhaan Allah terletak kepada keredhaan ibu bapa."
Baiklah, inilah sebenarnya rahsia 'perniagaan' yang jarang-jarang diperkatakan oleh tokoh korporat. Juga tidak pernah ditulis dalam mana-mana buku perniagaan. Masih punya ibubapa? MEMBERILAH KEPADA MEREKA.
Tidak ada? Tidak mengapa, memberilah kepada anak-anak anda. Tidak ada juga?
Memberilah kepada sesiapa sahaja. Kita sentiasa berfikir untuk memberi. Memberi kepada orang lain bererti memberi kepada diri kita sendiri walaupun itu bukan maksud kita ketika mula memberi!
Sahabat sekelian, Cerita dibawah menjadi IBRAH bagi kita semua.
Apa yang paling utama dalam memberikan khidmat terakhir kpd ibu ayah ialah MEMANDIKAN JENAZAHNYA, MENGKAPANKAN TUBUH MULIANYA, MENYEMBAHYANGKAN JENAZAH NYA DAN MENGKEBUMIKAN JENAZAHNYA. Lakukan dengan tangan2 kita sebagai anak2. Lakukan sahabat, lakukannya jika ditakdirkan ibu ayah kita meninggal dunia.
Saya menangis apabila ada sahabat saya menceritakan bagaimana ibu kepada Tuan Guru Dr Harun Din meninggal dunia. Bacalah sahabat pengalaman Dr Harun Din dan keluarganya.
Jiran kpd ibu Dr Harun Din (DrHD) menziarah ibunya pada waktu petang selepas asar. beliau memberi salam tetapi tak menyahut salamnya. Beberapa kali salam diberikan tapi tak ada jawapan. Maka jirannya itu mencari ruang mencari ibu Dr HD, akhirnya terlihat ibunya sedang sujud dalam solat. lalu jiran ini balik ke rumah dahulu. beberapa minit kemudian, datang semula berjumpa ibu DR. HD, dilihatnya masih sujud. firasat jirannya, ini ada yang tak kena. Lalu masuk ke rumah utk melihat dari dekat ibu Dr. HD. Rupa2nya, ibu Dr. HD telah kembali ke rahmatullah dalam masa ibunya sujud menghadap Allah. Ya Allah mulianya kematian ibu Dr.HD.
Perkara yg paling comel yg dilakukan keluarga DrHD ialah, menyempurnakan dgn tangan2 anak2 jenazah ibunya. Mandikan ibu, kapan ibu, sembahyangkan ibu dan kebumikan tanpa diusik orang lain ke atas tubuh ibunya. Ada jiran2 yg ingin melakukannya tetapi ditolak oleh Dr Harun Din, Hasan Din dan Ishak Din dengan hujah, "BERILAH SAYA SEKELUARGA PELUANG MEMBUAT KHIDMAT YG TERAKHIR UTK IBU".
Ketika hujah itu diberikan, seluruh masyarakat yg hadir melinangkan air mata kerana tawaaduk dan alimnya anak2 ibu itu. Paling menyayatkan hati masyarakat adalah apabila ketiga2 adik beradik ini iaitu Harun Din, Hasan Din dan Ishak Din turun sendiri ke lubang lahad mengebumikan jenazah ibunya. Ada beberapa orang yg hadir, memohon dan berkata, "Wahai Tuan Guru, biarlah kami buat semuanya ini menurunkan jenazah ibu Tuan Guru." Permintaan ini ditolak oleh DrHD dgn hujah yg sama "Berilah kami adik beradik peluang mengebumikan jenazah ibu ini kali terakhir". Seluruh yg hadir di kuburan ketika itu, mencurahkan airmata tawadduk di atas akhlak anak2 ibu yang diasuh hingga sealim sedemikian. Peristiwa ini disempurnakan hingga selesai.
HEBAT IBU ini membina akhlak dan keilmuan anak-anak mereka, maka tidak hairanlah kita semua bahawa Dr. HD , Hasan Din dan Ishak Din memang disegani oleh kawan dan lawan di Bumi Malaysia ini kerana "AKHLAK"nya yang mulia dan ALIM nya mereka.
Terus terang sahabat, ketika saya mendengar cerita ini, air mata saya melinang apabila tergambar ketika saya dan 11 orang adik beradik menguruskan jenazah ibu bersama Feb 2009 yang lalu. Ya Allah, rahmatilah ibu kami semua. Rahmatilah mereka dan Ampunkanlah kami. Wallahu A'lam.
Baca hayati, selami dan insafi...... Amalkan, doa ibu bapa amat mustajab... Bahagia dunia akhirat...
It's World Cup
I remember putting the football world cup countdown counter in my blog late last year... now is the time... how time flies...
Anyway, this is a month where I will sleep less and drop almost 'everything' for the next 30 days... With my Astro Byond, New full HD TV, Home Theatre System, lazy chair, cigar, tidbits etc etc... wow... time to take a break & enjoy myself...
For this world cup, I'm rooting for Argentina & followed by Germany... hopefully they go all the way to the final... why Argentina? I simply love Messi & they are the only Latin team that stick to the Latin play... others especially Brazil no longer produce samba play for the sake of winning the coveted cup... Off course another factor is the head coach i.e. Diego Maradona, my childhood football idol...
Germany, nothing much to say...being German and the kind of player's in their current team, they can go far...
Spain, England, Portugal, Italy, Brazil & France to me, is over rated... their players are good, but to have all star in one team will be a disaster...another factor, most of their players are now over the hill... I doubt they will go far...
Anyway, this is just my personal view... time will tell... any team that can peak during this period will be the rightful winner... may the best team win...
p/s: how I wish Malaysian team is there...

Father's Day
In Malaysia, we celebrate Father's Day yesterday (3rd sunday in June)...
For me, I guess my sons forgot about it till later in the afternoon... my daughter (being melancholy) do remember & I'm really touch with her choice of word in her card... but whatever it is, I still love all my kids the same...boys will always be boys like me those days...
However, since morning, back in my mind, I keep on remembering my dad... someone who I admire, respect, love & adore most...
He has gone through a lot throughout his 80 years of his life but he always remains calm in whatever situations, good or bad... The whole day, I keep on remembering his sacrifice towards his family, our journey together as well as his hardship when he was young... What keep on flashing in my mind is his hardship when he was raised by his Thai step mother (as I read in his book) & how he re-act when he lost 2 sons 20 years ago... throughout his ordeal, not a single eye drop falling & always remain calm...
I'm writing here just to express my personal tribute to him...
To Ayah, I love you very much & always proud of you... Happy Father's Day Tuan Haji Shahabudin...

It's all in your Mind...
Our mind is very powerful... that's why there's a saying, whatever the mind can conceive, you can achieve it... be it positive of negative part... I'm sharing below interesting story of how the mind can control our decisions in our daily life for all of you to ponder...
This Story is about a man who once upon a time was selling Hotdogs by the roadside. He was illiterate, so he never read newspapers. He was hard of hearing, so he never listened to the radio. His eyes were weak, so he never watched television. But enthusiastically, he sold lots of hotdogs. He was smart enough to offer some attractive schemes to increase his sales. His sales and profit went up. He ordered more a more raw material and buns and use to sale more. He recruited few more supporting staff to serve more customers. He started offering home deliveries. Eventually he got himself a bigger and better stove.
As his business was growing, the son, who had recently graduated from College, joined his father.
Then something strange happened.
The son asked, "Dad, aren't you aware of the great recession that is coming our way?" The father replied, "No, but tell me about it." The son said, "The international situation is terrible. The domestic situation is even worse. We should be prepared for the coming bad times."
The man thought that since his son had been to college, read the papers, listened to the radio and watched TV. He ought to know and his advice should not be taken lightly. So the next day onwards, the father cut down the his raw material order and buns, took down the colorful signboard, removed all the special schemes he was offering to the customers and was no longer as enthusiastic.
He reduced his staff strength by giving layoffs. Very soon, fewer and fewer people bothered to stop at his hotdog stand. And his sales started coming down rapidly, same is the profit.
The father said to his son, "Son, you were right". "We are in the middle of a recession and crisis. I am glad you warned me ahead of time."
Moral of The Story: It's all in your MIND! And we actually FUEL this recession much more than we think.

Farmville?
Only managed 2 postings in my blog so far this month.... Been busy 'layaning' my FB games lately... my wife and kids introduced me to Farmville, Cafe World & Tiki Resort... initially just to make up their number of neighbours plus out of curiosity why my three lady managers (or known as "Zally's angels" in office) spending so much time on those games. I ended up spending my free time 'layaning' those games too... hahahaha... Actually, being the Choleric part me of 'tak mengaku kalah', my mission is just to prep up the resort, farm and cafe to the 'acceptable' level, then will log it off lah... juz like car race, car iq, poker etc...
Anyway, those games really have the 'addictive' part lah... the feeling of wanting more, makes you staying on... And the best part is, when i comes to know that my big boss (Tungku Panglima) and his Datuks & Tan Sri's friends also do play Cafe World really amazed me... these guys are really high flying & big corporate names i.e. CEO's of Public Listed companies... which i do not wish to reveal their names here... damn... got so much time meh? and of all the games, Cafe World? hahaha...
Anyway, time will tell how long i will stay in this game... my bet will be 1 - 2 months more the most...

"Green Color Friend"
One who sees the positive and puts hopes in everything.
The "Orange Color Friend"
Enhance our spirit with new energy with loving vitamins to help us grow.
"Yellow Color Friend"
Color of the sun... friend who makes us laugh and shows us a star when we are sad.

Psychiatric Dessert Test
Just to share something interesting... I tried and it match me perfectly... wow...
No cheating.
If all of the eight desserts listed below were sitting in front of you, which would you choose (sorry, you can only pick one!) Trust me... this is very accurate.
Pick your dessert, and then look to see what psychiatrists think about you.
REMEMBER - No Cheating. Make your choice before you check the meaning.
After taking this dessert personality test, share this with others, but when you do, be sure to put your choice of dessert in the subject box above.
Here are your choices:
1. Angel Food Cake
2. Brownies
3. Lemon Meringue Pie
4. Vanilla Cake With Chocolate Icing
5. Strawberry Short Cake
6. Chocolate Cake With Chocolate Icing
7. Ice Cream
8. Carrot Cake
No, you can't change your mind once you scroll down, so think carefully about what your choice will be.
OK - Now that you've made your choice, this is what the researchers say about you.. SCROLL DOWN---No Cheating
1. ANGEL FOOD CAKE -- Sweet, loving, cuddly. You love all warm and fuzzy items. A little nutty at times. Sometimes you need an ice cream cone at the end of the day. Others perceive you as being childlike and immature at times.
2. BROWNIES -- You are adventurous, love new ideas, and are a champion of underdogs and a slayer of dragons. When tempers flare up you whip out your saber. You are always the oddball with a unique sense of humor and direction. You tend to be very loyal.
3. LEMON MERINGUE -- Smooth, sexy, & articulate with your hands, you are an excellent caregiver and a good teacher. But don't try to walk and chew gum at the same time. A bit of a diva at times, you set your own style because you do your own thing. You shine when it comes to helping others and have many friends.
4. VANILLA CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE ICING -- Fun-loving, sassy, humorous, not very grounded in life; very indecisive and lacking motivation. Everyone enjoys being around you, but you are a practical joker. Others should be cautious in making you mad. However, you are a friend for life.
5. STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE -- Romantic, warm, loving. You care about other people, can be counted on in a pinch and expect the same in return. Intuitively keen. You can be very emotional at times but a true person in every way. You like to do things for yourself and help others learn about themselves.
6. CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE ICING -- Sexy; always ready to give and receive. Very creative, adventurous, ambitious, and passionate. You can appear to have a cold exterior but are warm on the inside. Not afraid to take chances. Will not settle for anything average in life. Love to laugh.
7. ICE CREAM -- You like sports, whether it be baseball, football,basketball , or soccer. If you could, you would like to participate, but you enjoy watching sports. You don't like to give up the remote control. You tend to be self-centered and high maintenance.
8. CARROT CAKE -- You are a very fun loving person, who likes to laugh. You are fun to be with. People like to hang out with you. You are a very warm hearted person and a little quirky at times. You have many loyal friends. You were meant to lead and teach others. A wonderful role model.

Maulidur Rasul Holiday
Yesterday is a public holiday in Malaysia in conjunction with Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. birth date...
My family and I joined a few VOCM friends and their family for short and fun outings at Karyn Resort in PD... We gather somewhere along Seremban – PD R&R area around noon and proceed to hotel...
Karyn Resort is a 3 star cozy hotel by the beach... it was a bit secluded which is just nice for private outings... Since I’m not feeling well, I proceed to hit the sag right after checking in whilst others are having fun in the pool...
I joined the group later in the evening for our fun and interesting Banana Boat ride from resort to Teluk Kemang and back to resort... wow... all of us really had fun and I must say, this is the highlights of the outings... Due to overwhelming response, we had to arrange for two rides... I participated in both rides... The first is a bit sedate due to small children involvement where we only had 1 ‘jump’ at the end of the ride... the second ride is more adventurous since it was participated by adult mostly... this time we had two ‘jump’, first at Teluk Kemang & another one at the resort... hahaha…... It was really fun and joyful events... to me, it worth every 'sen' of it...
After Maghrib prayers, we proceed to seafood dinner... the food is nice and price is quite reasonable too... our plan for another session after dinner somehow was cancel as most of us already tired then... Coupled with my fever acting up, we decided to call it a day slightly after 1am...
The next morning, we had buffet breakfast plus TT by the pool side whilst watching the kids had fun in the pool... we check out at 12noon and straight back home... Now my fever is getting worst, but nevertheless, I still enjoy every minute of the time we were there... Thanks to noorizz for organizing this trip and to naza, dzul, wakiki & sheron for your company... Look forward to the next trip in near future... now I’m under house quarantine...

Salam Maulidur Rasul
Sempena maulidur Rasul, izinkan saya berkongsi sedikit tentang sifat sifat peribadi yg terdapat didalam pemimpin agung kita (Nabi Muhammad s.a.w.) yg patut kita cuba contohi...
10 sifat peribadi yang mesti dipupuk
Sifat peribadi yang luhur merupakan aset penting dan berharga dalam kehidupan seseorang. Ia menjamin kehidupan yang indah dan bahagia tidak kira lelaki mahupun wanita.
Tidak semua di kalangan kita memiliki sifat mulia yang luhur ini sejak azali.
Sebab itu ia harus dipupuk supaya sebati di dalam diri kita dalam menjalani kehidupan seharian.
Hayati 10 sifat peribadi luhur di bawah, tanamkan ke dalam hati sanubari, lalui kehidupan yang lebih bahagia…
1. Tulus
2. Rendah diri
3. Setia
4. Berfikiran positif
5. Perwatakan ceria
6. Bertanggungjawab
7. Percaya kepada diri sendiri
8. Pemaaf
9. Mudah berkira
10. Empati
Tulus
Tulus atau ‘transparent‘ merupakan sifat yang paling disukai oleh semua orang. Ketulusan akan membuatkan orang lain berasa aman dan dihargai dengan kehadiran kita.
Orang yang tulus tidak akan memperbodoh atau berbohong apabila berkata-kata. Sebaliknya sentiasa menyatakan kebenaran, tidak suka mengada-ngada, berpura-pura, mencari-cari alasan atau memutar belitkan fakta.
Prinsip tulus ialah “berkata benar walaupun pahit”. Namun begitu, adalah lebih sempurna jika sifat tulus ini digabungkan dengan kebijaksanaan. Supaya ketulusan tidak menjadi penyebab yang boleh merugikan diri sendiri.
Rendah diri
Bukan rendah diri di atas kelemahan, tetapi merendah diri kerana kehebatan dan kekuatan. Inilah yang sukar manusia lakukan. Hanya orang-orang yang berjiwa kental mampu bersikap rendah diri. Ibarat padi yang semakin berisi semakin menunduk.
Orang yang bersikap rendah diri mampu mengakui dan menghargai keunggulan orang lain. Sikap sebegini mampu memberi impak terhadap dua situasi.
Pertama, membuatkan orang yang lebih tinggi pangkatnya daripada kita untuk berasa segan dengan kita.
Kedua, membuatkan orang yang lebih rendah pangkatnya daripada kita untuk tidak merasa kekok apabila berinteraksi dengan kita. Hebat bukan?
Setia
Kesetiaan merupakan satu sifat yang tinggi nilainya. Orang yang setia sentiasa dipercayai dan boleh diharap, selalu menepati janji, mempunyai komitmen yang tinggi, rela berkorban dan tidak berkhianat.
Berfikiran positif
Orang yang bersikap positif sentiasa berusaha melihat segala sesuatu dengan pandangan positif, meskipun dalam situasi yang buruk.
Orang sebegini lebih suka membicarakan kebaikan daripada keburukan orang lain, lebih suka membicarakan tentang harapan daripada kekecewaan, lebih suka mencari penyelesaian daripada berputus asa, lebih suka memuji daripada mengecam, dan sebagainya.
Berperwatakan ceria
Bukan semua orang dianugerahi wajah yang ceria. Oleh itu keceriaan tidak harus dinilai dari ekspresi wajah dan tubuh tetapi sikap dalaman (hati).
Orang yang ceria adalah orang yang dapat menikmati hidup, tidak suka mengeluh dan selalu berusaha meraih kegembiraan. Dia juga mampu mentertawakan situasi, orang lain, juga dirinya sendiri. Dia mempunyai potensi untuk menghibur dan mendorong semangat orang lain.
Bertanggungjawab

10 sifat peribadi yang mesti dipupuk
Sifat peribadi yang luhur merupakan aset penting dan berharga dalam kehidupan seseorang. Ia menjamin kehidupan yang indah dan bahagia tidak kira lelaki mahupun wanita.
Tidak semua di kalangan kita memiliki sifat mulia yang luhur ini sejak azali.
Sebab itu ia harus dipupuk supaya sebati di dalam diri kita dalam menjalani kehidupan seharian.
Hayati 10 sifat peribadi luhur di bawah, tanamkan ke dalam hati sanubari, lalui kehidupan yang lebih bahagia…
1. Tulus
2. Rendah diri
3. Setia
4. Berfikiran positif
5. Perwatakan ceria
6. Bertanggungjawab
7. Percaya kepada diri sendiri
8. Pemaaf
9. Mudah berkira
10. Empati
Tulus
Tulus atau ‘transparent‘ merupakan sifat yang paling disukai oleh semua orang. Ketulusan akan membuatkan orang lain berasa aman dan dihargai dengan kehadiran kita.
Orang yang tulus tidak akan memperbodoh atau berbohong apabila berkata-kata. Sebaliknya sentiasa menyatakan kebenaran, tidak suka mengada-ngada, berpura-pura, mencari-cari alasan atau memutar belitkan fakta.
Prinsip tulus ialah “berkata benar walaupun pahit”. Namun begitu, adalah lebih sempurna jika sifat tulus ini digabungkan dengan kebijaksanaan. Supaya ketulusan tidak menjadi penyebab yang boleh merugikan diri sendiri.
Rendah diri
Bukan rendah diri di atas kelemahan, tetapi merendah diri kerana kehebatan dan kekuatan. Inilah yang sukar manusia lakukan. Hanya orang-orang yang berjiwa kental mampu bersikap rendah diri. Ibarat padi yang semakin berisi semakin menunduk.
Orang yang bersikap rendah diri mampu mengakui dan menghargai keunggulan orang lain. Sikap sebegini mampu memberi impak terhadap dua situasi.
Pertama, membuatkan orang yang lebih tinggi pangkatnya daripada kita untuk berasa segan dengan kita.
Kedua, membuatkan orang yang lebih rendah pangkatnya daripada kita untuk tidak merasa kekok apabila berinteraksi dengan kita. Hebat bukan?
Setia
Kesetiaan merupakan satu sifat yang tinggi nilainya. Orang yang setia sentiasa dipercayai dan boleh diharap, selalu menepati janji, mempunyai komitmen yang tinggi, rela berkorban dan tidak berkhianat.
Berfikiran positif
Orang yang bersikap positif sentiasa berusaha melihat segala sesuatu dengan pandangan positif, meskipun dalam situasi yang buruk.
Orang sebegini lebih suka membicarakan kebaikan daripada keburukan orang lain, lebih suka membicarakan tentang harapan daripada kekecewaan, lebih suka mencari penyelesaian daripada berputus asa, lebih suka memuji daripada mengecam, dan sebagainya.
Berperwatakan ceria
Bukan semua orang dianugerahi wajah yang ceria. Oleh itu keceriaan tidak harus dinilai dari ekspresi wajah dan tubuh tetapi sikap dalaman (hati).
Orang yang ceria adalah orang yang dapat menikmati hidup, tidak suka mengeluh dan selalu berusaha meraih kegembiraan. Dia juga mampu mentertawakan situasi, orang lain, juga dirinya sendiri. Dia mempunyai potensi untuk menghibur dan mendorong semangat orang lain.
Bertanggungjawab
Orang yang bertanggungjawab akan melaksanakan kewajipannya dengan bersungguh-sungguh.
Andai melakukan kesalahan, dia berani mengakuinya. Ketika mengalami kegagalan, dia tidak akan mencari kambing hitam untuk disalahkan.
Bahkan kalau dia merasa kecewa dan sakit hati, dia tidak akan menyalahkan siapapun. Dia menyadari bahwa dirinya sendirilah yang bertanggungjawab atas apa pun yang dialami dan dirasakannya.
Percaya kepada diri sendiri
Rasa percaya kepada diri sendiri memungkinkan seseorang itu menerima dirinya sebagaimana yang dianugerahkan oleh Allah s.w.t, menghargai dirinya dan menghargai orang lain.
Orang yang percaya kepada diri sendiri mudah menyesuaikan diri dengan lingkungan dan situasi yang baru. Dia tahu apa yang harus dilakukannya dan melakukannya dengan baik.

Always Think Positive...
Another interesting story on positive thinking....
It is LOGICAL. Think about the answer sincerely.
Once there was loving couple traveling in a bus in a mountainous area. They decided to get down at some place.
After the couple got down at some place the bus moved on. As the bus moved on, a huge rock fell on the bus from the mountain and crushed the bus to crumbs. Everybody on board was killed.
The couple upon seeing that, said, "We wish we were on that bus"
Why do u think they said that?

If they had remained on the bus instead of deciding to get down, the resulting time delay could have been avoided and the rock would have fallen after the bus had passed ..!!!
Think positive in life always and look for opportunities when u can help others.
Many times in life, the opposite of Success is not Failure, its Quitting.

How to Overcome Your Worries: 5 Timeless Thoughts...
Got this from one of the self motivation course i attend in MIM recently...
”Do not anticipate trouble or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.” Benjamin Franklin
“The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.” Elbert Hubbard
“If you ask what is the single most important key to longevity, I would have to say it is avoiding worry, stress and tension. And if you didn’t ask me, I’d still have to say it.” George F. Burns
Worries. They can circle around and around in your head. Becoming louder and louder as they sap your strength and make you feel you weaker. It’s no fun.
So what can you do about it? Here are five timeless thoughts to help you overcome or at least lessen the worries in your life. I hope you find something helpful.
1. 80-90 percent of what you fear will happen never really come into reality.
“When I look back on all these worries, I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had never happened.” Winston Churchill
“If you want to test your memory, try to recall what you were worrying about one year ago today.” E. Joseph Cossman
This is a big one but one that is easy to forget about. Most things you fear will happen never happen. They are just monsters in your own mind. And if they happen then they will most often not be as painful or bad as you expected. Worrying is most often just a waste of time.
This is of course easy to say. But if you remind yourself of how little of what you feared throughout your life that has actually happened you can start to release more and more of that worry from your thoughts.
2. Don’t mountains out of molehills.
“Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow.” Swedish Proverb
“Worry is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.” Arthur Somers Roche
“If you treat every situation as a life and death matter, you’ll die a lot of times.”
Dean Smith
It’s very easy to fall into the habit of making mountains out of molehills. You think and think about a small problem until it becomes something that you believe may ruin your life.
So why do we do it? Why don’t strive to make things easy and simple?
Well, one reason I believe is protection from pain. By making the problem huge can you can invent a helpful excuse to convince yourself to not take action.
Another reason is that the ego wants more. It wants to feel better or worse than someone else. By making things more complicated than they need to be you can make them feel very important. And since you are involved in these important things, since you have these BIG problems, well, then you have to be important too, right? Plus, by doing so you can get a lot of attention and comfort from other people.
So how do you get out of the habit of making mountains of molehills? Three tips:
* Zoom out. Ask questions that widen your current perspective. Questions like: “Does someone have it worse on the planet?” The answer may not result in positive thoughts, but it can sure snap you of a somewhat childish “poor, poor me…” attitude pretty quickly. This question changes the perspective from a narrow, self-centred one into a much wider one and helps me to lighten up about my situation and to be grateful about my life.
* Bring awareness to you own thought patterns. Ask yourself questions like: “Honestly, am I overcomplicating this?” and “What is the simplest and most straightforward solution to my problem that I may be avoiding to protect myself from pain?”
* Realize that much of this is in your head. Your relationships to what you want to achieve are – just like your relationships to people – to a large extent just in your head. Think that something is easy and simple instead of “heavy” and complicated and your perception of that external thing you want to achieve tends to change too. Experiment and find healthy and effective relationships to what you want to achieve instead of just seeing something like many people may do.
3. Let go of that familiarity and certainty.
“Worry is like a rocking chair–it gives you something to do but it doesn’t get you anywhere.” Unknown
”People become attached to their burdens sometimes more than the burdens are attached to them.” George Bernard Shaw
Whatever you have been doing perhaps for decades feels familiar and comfortable. Even if it may be something destructive as worrying. Taking a leap of faith and going into the unknown, making a change that may turn out to be positive, can feel scarier and more uncomfortable than what you are used to. Even if what you are used to is worse in the long run.
But at some point you have to make up your mind to start letting go of that old familiar part of yourself. You have to fill up the space all that worrying used take up with new thinking. It may feel uncomfortable. It is not so intimately familiar as your past thoughts.
It can be scary and exciting at the same time because now you are not just someone who sees him/herself as worrier and that uses some techniques to lessen that. You are instead making a deep change to who you are, to how you view yourself. You are letting go of something that has been a big part of you and are leaving it at the side of the road.
One great tip that I have learned for making it easier to let go is to first accept it. Then to let it go. When you accept something instead of resisting it you stop feeding more energy into your problem and making it even bigger. A bit counterintuitive.
This is useful when it comes to letting go. If you first accept what you want to let go you aren’t so emotionally attached to it and still feeding it with your focus and energy. And so it becomes less powerful and easier to just drop. As long as you resist it then it will be hard to let it go.
Another helpful hint for letting go is found in tip #1 in this article. All that worrying in your past may not have been very accurate at all. So perhaps it’s a smart choice to let go of that habit?
4. Focus on a solution.
“There is a great difference between worry and concern. A worried person sees a problem, and a concerned person solves a problem.” Harold Stephen
“The reason why worry kills more people than work is that more people worry than work.” Robert Frost
”You can’t wring your hands and roll up your sleeves at the same time.” Pat Schroeder
To move out of worry it’s very helpful to just start moving and taking action to solve what you are concerned about.
Two tips that have helped me to take action more consistently are:
Using a morning routine.
This is perhaps the most powerful tip I have found so far in this area. You simply set up a routine in the morning that you do as soon as you wake up. This works so well because what you do early in the day often sets the context for your day. As humans we have a strong tendency to want to be consistent with what we have done before. That’s one big reason why a bad start often leads to a bad day and a good start often leads to a good day. Read all about my and other people’s morning routines in this article.
Focusing on and taking responsibility for the process, not the potential results.
I use this when I workout. I don’t take responsibility for the results in my mind. I take responsibility for showing up and doing my workout. The results have come anyway from that consistent action. And this makes it easier for me to take this action when I know that is all I need to focus on. Instead of using half of the energy and focus I have available on hoping that I “reach my goal real, real soon”.
Focus on the process and you will be a lot more relaxed and prone to continue than if you stare yourself blind on the potential results that never come as quickly as you want to and puts you on an emotional rollercoaster from day to day.
5. Tomorrow will come anyway. Live and fully enjoy here and now.
“Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.” Leo F. Buscaglia
It may sometimes seem that by worrying we can less the sorrow of tomorrow. But it never works. It only sucks the life out of today and this moment.
To be able to live better today and to be able to take that action to prevent the possible sorrow it’s important to learn to live in the present moment. Because it’s there that you can do things in the best possible way with your focus fully on what you are doing.
Three of my favourite techniques for drawing myself back to the now are these (the first one is the one I use most often right now):
* Focus on what’s right in front of you. Or around you. Or on you. Use your senses. Just look at what’s right in front of you right now. Listen to the sounds around you. Feel the fabric of your clothes and focus on how they feel. Be still right there and just take in the world around you.
* Pick up the vibe from present people. If you know someone that is more present than most people then you can pick his/her vibe of presence (just like you can pick up positivity or enthusiasm from people). If you don’t know someone like that then I have often recommended listening/watching to Eckhart Tolle in the past. I still do. I especially like his book “Stillness Speaks”. Another guy that I find helpful for picking up presence from is Wayne Dyer.
* Paraliminals. I reviewed these guided meditation CDs during my free time and they have become one of my favourite way for reconnecting with the present. I just plop down on my bed for 25 minutes or so to relax and listen. Afterwards I feel relaxed and energized and my self-talk tends to shut down or decrease significantly for maybe half a day. This makes it a lot easier to be in the present moment and just focus on what is going on right now.
”Do not anticipate trouble or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.” Benjamin Franklin
“The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.” Elbert Hubbard
“If you ask what is the single most important key to longevity, I would have to say it is avoiding worry, stress and tension. And if you didn’t ask me, I’d still have to say it.” George F. Burns

Year of Tiger Resolution?
It has been more than a week since I last wrote here... things are a bit hectic despite of CNY holidays...
Too many things that I had gone through for the last 1 week but the most significant thing is the piece of similar advice received from my boss ustaz & fengshui master... one thing amazing about my boss ustaz is, we never meet before but for sure he know hell a lot about me... not through my boss either...
Anyway, their comment and advice is, this year gonna be a good year for me... and two things that I must always remember;
1. To do more charity
2. Be more quiet/reduce being out spoken/speak only when necessary
Hmmm... the first one is quite easy for me, insyaAllah... but the second one, I got to try real hard... being out spoken and frank with everybody, this gonna be tough one... Anyway, I will try...
For a start, from now on, I will speak less about other people... next I decided to share more on whatever Islamic knowledge I had/received all over... to me, by doing so I hope I can do my small part in ‘dakwah’ to readers here... at least when I’m no longer in this world, people can still read and benefits from it... Best getting more friends than hurting them...
I’m doing this is not just to remind others, but more for me too coz I’m no angel either...
But on other matters, I will still share my thought here...

For a start, from now on, I will speak less about other people... next I decided to share more on whatever Islamic knowledge I had/received all over... to me, by doing so I hope I can do my small part in ‘dakwah’ to readers here... at least when I’m no longer in this world, people can still read and benefits from it... Best getting more friends than hurting them...
I’m doing this is not just to remind others, but more for me too coz I’m no angel either...
But on other matters, I will still share my thought here...

Go-Kart...
Last weekend I participated in 2nd VOCM go-kart competition... with the agreement of fellow VOCM committee members & regulars, we decided to turn the fun event into an annual championship with 6 – 8 legs of racing.
The format is as per F1 rules & overall winners will be determine based on who gather highest point after all the 6/8 legs...
For second leg last weekend, the venue remains the same i.e. Shah Alam Stadium... Once again we had 14 participants despite of the absence of JB members. But the race time had been changed to 2pm!!! “Mengelegak otak...” hahaha... But anyhow, we all still had fun...
I was unlucky this time around as my kart engine dies off at starting line during race proper. The Marshall took so long to restart my kart and by the time I start I was almost 1 lap behind others... despite of the setback, I still managed to finish in 12th out of 14th position... hehehe...
Anyway, it is not so much of the placing, it’s the sportsmanship that counts. And more importantly, I’m glad everybody enjoyed themselves during the race... I finish with 0 point this time and hopefully will have better luck in the next race...

It's Friday... a bit of tazkirah received from my colleague to share... moga semua dapat menfaat...

Iman adalah Mutiara didalam Hati manusia Yang meyakini ALLAH!
Manusia hanya dapat menilai keikhlasan seseorang itu daripada suara atau mulut mereka, tetapi ALLAH melihat keikhlasan itu dari HATI mereka.
Dari Abu Hurairah R.A, Rasulullah S.A.W. bersabda: “Manusia, dua matanya itu pemberi petunjuk. Kedua telinganya itu corong. Lidahnya itu juru bahasa. Kedua tangannya itu sayap. Kedua kakinya itu pos dan HATI-nya itu raja. Apabila raja itu baik, niscaya baiklah tentera2nya”. (HR Abu Na’im dan Thabrani).
Rasulullah S.A.W. bersabda, “Sesungguhnya Allah tidak memandang kepada tubuh kalian dan tidak pula kepada rupa kalian, tetapi ALLAH memandang kepada HATI kalian”. ( HR Muslim)
Rasulullah S.A.W. besabda, “Dalam diri manusia itu ada segumpal darah, yang apabila baik maka baik seluruhnya, tetapi apabila buruk maka buruk seluruhnya, itulah HATI’. (HR. Bukhari)
Dari Abdullah bin Mas’sud R.A. Rasulullah S.A.W. bersabda: “Tidak akan masuk syurga orang yang didalam HATI-nya terdapat rasa sombong walaupun hanya sebesar dzarrah”….”Sombong itu menolak kebenaran dan merendahkan sesama manusia”. (Hadits Riwayat Muslim).
Janganlah selalu menganggap yang diri kita sentiasa benar, dan orang lain selalu salah, jika ini ada didalam HATI kita, maka berhati-hatilah, kerana kita telah diperbudak-budakkan oleh kesombongan kita.

Sigh....
I sometimes really at lost on how to handle certain people...
When they make mistake & say sorry... you forgive them... then a few days later, they repeat same thing again & once again they apologise, you forgave but a bit bitter... then for heaven sake they repeat again the same stupid mistake & easily apologise... this time, I really dont know what to say or do... yes, I do forgive but the question in my mind... do they ever learn from their mistake? do they really sincere in apologising? damn... I'm really at lost facing this kind of human being...
Anther thing that i could not tolerate is people who take whatever looks like theirs as theirs without having any inkling that possibility theirs is already in their possession somewhere...and the thing that they take is really not theirs till the rightful owner asking about it... haiyaa... for heaven sake, please... please... please... you are not the only person in this world own that OK?

Needs a lot of Thinking... Can you answer this?
Got this from a friend of mine... hahaha
Once there was a bus conductor, who was very rude to his passengers.
One day a beautiful young girl, of around 18 years,tried to board the bus, but he didn't stop the bus. Unfortunately the beautiful young girl came under the bus and died on the spot.
Angry passengers took the conductor to the police station, who in turn took him to the court.
The judge was not at all impressed with him and gave him capital punishment.
He was taken to the electrocution chamber.
There was a single chair in the center of the room and a single banana peel at one corner of the room.
The conductor was strapped to the chair and high voltage current was given to him! .
But to everyone's amazement, he survived.
The judge decided to set him free, and he returned to his profession.
After a few months, this time, a good looking middle aged woman tried to board the bus but the conductor didn't stop the bus.
Unfortunately, this time also, the good looking middle aged woman came under the bus and died on the spot. Again angry passengers took him to the police station, who in turn took him to the court.
The judge took one look at the conductor and gave him capital punishment.
The Bus conductor was taken to the same electrocution chamber where there was a single chair in the center of the room and a single banana peel at one corner of the room.
He was strapped to the chair and high voltage current was given to him.
This time also to everyone's amazement, he survived.
The judge decided to set him free, and he returned to his profession.
A couple of months later, an elderly gentleman tried to board the bus.
This time the Bus conductor, remembering his earlier experiences, stopped the bus.
Unfortunately the elderly gentleman slipped and died due to his injuries.
The conductor was taken to the police station and then to the court, to the same judge.
Though he hadn't done anything wrong, but considering his past record the judge decided to set an example and gave him capital punishment.
The Bus conductor was again taken to the same electrocution chamber where there was a single chair in the center of the room and a single banana peel at one corner of the room.
He was strapped to the chair and high voltage current was given to him.
This time he died instantly !!!!!!!!!!!
The question is why didn't he die on the first two occasions, but died instantly the third time??
Try to solve it yourselves. This is rather interesting and answer is perfectly logical. If necessary read the puzzle once again.
Still you couldn't, Then see below...
Think hard
Tired????
wanna know the answer????
Answer :
During the first two times, the conductor was a Bad Conductor, therefore electricity didn't pass through him.
But during the third time, he was a good conductor, electricity passed through him freely and he died!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! !
Ha Ha Ha ha !!!!!!!! Obviously you gotta revise your science chapter on Electricity? ?
Hope you have a good day...

Are we developing our kids to be positive or negative thinker?
Most of us adult tend to have negative thinking... mainly are due to our upbringing when our parents tend to stop us on what we want/like to do... don't do that, don't touch that, don't go there etc etc... they only forbid us without explaining the real reason... unlike kids nowadays, they think differently... hence, as parents, we should spend more time reasoning with them so that they understand better...
On top of the above, we should also teach them to believe in themselves and have the winning mentality... Only through this we can develop them to be more positive in their life...
Below is a true story I would like to share on positive thinker vs adult with negative thinker... hope you enjoy and for you to ponder...
On my way home one day, I stopped to watch a Little League base ball game that was being played in a park near my home.
As I sat down behind the bench on the first-base line, I asked one of the boys what the score was
'We're behind 14 to nothing,' he answered With a smile.
'Really,' I said. 'I have to say you don't look very discouraged. '
'Discouraged? ', the boy asked with a Puzzled look on his face...
'Why should we be discouraged? We haven't Been up to bat yet.'

The Secret...
One day, one friend asked another,
"How is it that you are always so happy? You have so much energy, and you never seem to get down."
With her eyes smiling, she said,
"I know the Secret!"
"What secret is that?"
To which she replied, "I'll tell you all about it, but you have to promise to share the Secret with others."
"The Secret is this:
I have learned there is little I can do in my life that will make me truly happy. I must depend on God to make me happy and to meet my needs.
When a need arises in my life, I have to trust God to supply according to HIS riches. I have learned most of the time I don't need half of what I think I do. He has never let me down. Since I learned that 'Secret', I am happy."
The questioner's first thought was, "That's too simple!"
But upon reflecting over her own life she recalled how she thought a bigger house would make her happy, but it didn't!
She thought a better paying job would make her happy, but it hadn't.
When did she realize her greatest happiness?
Sitting on the floor with her grandchildren, playing games, eating pizza or reading a story, a simple gift from God.
Now you know it too!
We can't depend on people to make us happy. Only GOD in His infinite wisdom can do that. Trust HIM!
And now I share the Secret on to you! So once you knew it, what will you do?
YOU have to tell someone the Secret, too!
That GOD in His wisdom will take care of YOU!
But it's not really a secret...
We just have to believe it and do it...
Really trust God!
In everything you do, put GOD first, and he will direct you and crown your effort with success.

Accident
My wife met with small accident last night... pity her... but I’m glad she is OK…... that is most important to me...
This morning go and sort out her Kelisa repair with the other party and so far all went well... look forward to see her Kelisa out next week... in the meantime, my "black mafia" belongs to her & my faithful "goldie" will serve me...
Anyway, this is second time her Kelisa had an accident... hehehe... like hinting to me something jer... and one thing for sure, never ever talk about changing car unless you really want to change it... It’s like they ‘merajuk’ or something like that... even my "black mafia" had an accident before when I was busy making up my "goldie"...hmmm...
By the way, come to think of it, my wife deserved to drive better car & insyaAllah dear, I’ll get you your dream/wish (got to qualify on this...sometimes dream is ferrari but wish is only mini cooper...hehehe) car soon... just pray for it.. You deserved the best dear...

Bumiputera
This is a hot topic and as much as I would like to touch on this at length, I had to be cautious due to sensitivity and ISA threat hanging over my head (if I go over board)...
In short, I totally agree with what Tun Dr. Mahathir said recently and fully behind PERKASA in this issue... I'm not their member and my stand remains i.e. as a non partisan Malaysian.
In a nutshell, we all Malaysian should be happy with what had been agreed during independent... nobody gets all and no body lost all... As Malay, below are my brief perspective based on my understanding of the history and constitution;
To non Malay
- You got your citizenship
- You got to maintain your mother tongue & use it freely
- You got to practice your religion / belief freely (in fact, having amongst the biggest religious statue in the world)
- You got your own schools (SRJKC & SRJKT)
- You got your own university now
- You got to be part of the party that rule the country
- You got freedom in doing business and acquiring assets/wealth forever
- plus many more...
The above are amongst things that the Malay had given you, in return, what had you given to the Malay? So, please stop questioning our rights when in the first place it’s already ours well before your ancestors stepped their foot here.
To me, it’s very simple, if you don’t like Malaysia as it is now, feel free to migrate... take up citizenship elsewhere and see/feel for yourself how those countries treat you... nearest is Singapore...
Well before I get emotional, better I stop here... but please remember guys, without the Malay leaders agreement on the above earlier, where would you be... look at Brunei & Indonesia during Suharto time to name a few...
Stop talking about human rights because Malays have the right too... especially in their mother land...
I love Malaysia & quite satisfied with the current harmony... so please stop provoking others... be grateful with what you got and let’s live peacefully together...
