Just a weeeeeee bit
An extraordinarily handsome man decided he had the responsibility to marry the perfect woman so they could produce beautiful children beyond compare.
With that as his mission he began searching for the perfect woman.
Shortly there after he met a farmer who had three stunning, gorgeous daughters that positively took his breath away. So he explained his mission to the farmer, asking for permission to marry one of them.
The farmer simply replied, 'They're lookin' to get married, so you came to the right place. Look 'em over and pick the one you want.'
The man dated the first daughter.
The next day the farmer asked for the man's opinion.
'Well,' said the man, 'she's just a weeeeee bit, not that you can hardly notice...pigeon-toed.'
The farmer nodded and suggested the man date one of the other girls; so the man went out with the second daughter.
The next day, the farmer again asked how things went.
'Well,'the man replied, 'she's just a weeeeee bit, not that you can hardly tell... cross-eyed.'
The farmer nodded and suggested he date the third girl to see if things might be better. So he did.
The next morning the man rushed in exclaiming,
'She's perfect, just perfect. She's the one I want to marry'
So they were wed right away. Months later the baby was born. When the man visited the nursery he was horrified: the baby was the ugliest, most pathetic human you can imagine. He rushed to his father in law asking how such a thing could happen considering the beauty of the parents.
'Well', explained the farmer, 'She was just a weeee bit, not that you could hardly tell... pregnant when you met her.
If this brightened your day Don't let it stop here Pass it on to your friends.
Effect Kata Kata Positif dan Negatif
It's been quite sometime since I last post here... just to share something that I receive from my friend recently... I've not tried it yet though...
Sebaiknya kita semua mulai mengendalikan Kata-kata yang keluar dari mulut kita dengan Kata-Kata yang Positif dan Baik. Setelah mendengarkan info tentang pengaruh Kata-Kata Negatif terhadap Air yang ditulis dalam buku “ The Hidden Messages in Water “ karya Masaru Emoto dan pada halaman 31 buku tersebut disebutkan tentang banyaknya orang yg melakukan percobaan, saya pun tertarik untuk melakukannya sbb:
1. Tempatkan Nasi sisa yg sudah didiamkan semalaman kedalam 2 botol dgn jumlah yg sama, kemudian ditutup rapat.
2. Masing-masing di label yg berisi kata2 sbb:
- Toples A : “ Kamu Pintar, Cerdas, Cantik, Baik, Rajin, Sabar, Aku Sayang Padamu, Aku Senang Sekali Melihatmu, Aku Ingin Selalu di dekatmu, I LOVE YOU, Terima Kasih.
- Toples B : “ Kamu Bodoh, Goblok, Jelek, Jahat, Malas, Pemarah, Aku Benci Melihatmu, Aku Sebel Tidak mau dekat dekat kamu “
3. Botol 2 ini saya letakkan terpisah dan pada tempat yg sering dilihat, saya pesan pada istri, anak, dan pembantu untuk membaca label pada botol tersebut setiap kali melihat botol2 tersebut.
4. Dan inilah yang terjadi pada nasi tersebut setelah 1 minggu kemudian :
Nasi dalam botol yg di bacakan kata-kata Negatif ternyata cepat sekali berubah menjadi busuk dan berwarna hitam dgn bau yg tidak sedap.
Sedangkan Nasi dalam botol yg di bacakan kata-kata Positif masih berwarna putih kekuningan dan baunya harum seperti ragi.
Nah Silakan teman-teman mencobanya sendiri.
Kalau di buku di katakan ada yg mencoba dgn tiga botol dimana botol ketiga tidak di beri label apa2 alias diabaikan / tidak diperdulikan, dan ternyat beras dlm botol yg diabaikan membusuk jauh lebih cepat dibandingkan botol yg dipapar kata “ Kamu Bodoh”.
Bayangkan apa yang akan terjadi dengan anak-anak kita, pasangan hidup kita, rekan-rekan kerja kita, dan orang-orang disekeliling kita, bahkan binatang dan tumbuhan disekeliling kita pun akan merasakan efek yang ditimbulkan dari getaran-getaran yg berasal dari pikiran, dan ucapan yang kita lontarkan setiap saat kepada mereka.
Maka sebaiknya selalulah sedar dan bijaksana dalam memillih kata-kata yg akan keluar dari mulut kita, demikian juga kendalikanlah pikiran-pikiran yg timbul dalam batin kita.
Semoga tulisan ini bermanfaat untuk kita semua.

CATATAN BUAT INSAN YANG DIPANGGIL IBU
Ya Allah...sungguh aku ingin sekali melihat Ibuku tersenyum dan tertawa bahagia, kerana diriku....
karena...........???
Ketika ia mengandungkanku...ia menangis..
Ketika ia kesakitan melahirkanku...ia menangis...
Ketika ia lega setelah aku lahir ke dunia...ia menangis...
Ketika aku boleh berkata-kata, berjalan, dan mulai nakal...ia menangis...
Ketika aku jatuh dari basikal dan mulai kesekolah...ia menangis...
Ketika aku remaja dan mulai membantah perintahnya...ia menangis...
Ketika aku akan belajar dikota...ia menangis...
Ketika aku menanti dikonvo dan bekerja...ia menangis...
Ketika aku nanti menikah dan punya anak...ia menangis...
Jika Allah "menjemputku" terlebih dahulu...ia menangis..
Saat apa pun dalam kehidupanku...ibuku selalu menangis...
Duhai ibu...dengan cara apa aku boleh mendapatkan senyumanmu yang
lebih indah dari senyum bidadari surga...?
Sekarang baru aku mengerti kenapa Rasulullah menyebut IBU 3 kali baru di sebut BAPA dalam satu dari sabdanya menyenai ketaatan kepada ibu bapa.

How to Dance in the Rain
It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80's arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb.
He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00am. I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.
While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry.
The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I inquired as to her health.
He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer's Disease.
As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late.
He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.
I was surprised, and asked him, 'And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?'
He smiled as he patted my hand and said,
'She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is.'
I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought,
'That is the kind of love I want in my life.'
True love is neither physical, nor romantic.
True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.
With all the jokes and fun that are in e-mails, sometimes there is one that comes along that has an important message. This one I thought I could share with you.
The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.
I hope you share this with someone you care about. I just did.
'Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain'
What had happened...
Honestly, I don't even know who or what to believe and getting tired with all politicians... you're more concerned about your own ass than most citizen that still struggling to adjust to the new lifestyle...
Please do something about it...

What others said about TEAMWORK...
There are plenty of teams in every sport that have great players and never win titles. Most of the time, those players aren't willing to sacrifice for the greater good of the team. The funny thing is, in the end, their unwillingness to sacrifice only makes individual goals more difficult to achieve. One thing I believe to the fullest is that if you think and achieve as a team, the individual accolades will take care of themselves. Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships."
-- Michael Jordan

Apples................subsidy????????
A owns a farm which can produce 10 apples every day. He has 5 workers to operate the farm. Each of them (A and his 5 workers) eats 1 apple daily and it is enough to keep them operating the farm normally. A then sells the remaining 4 apples at $10 each and he earns $40. He uses the $25 to improve the farm operation and facilities. He gives $2 to each of his workers as salary and he keeps the remaining $5 as profit. Day by day, the farm is well developed and all of the 5 workers are happy with the money they receive.
When A died, a new owner, B takes over the farm operation. He says to the workers: "We need to improve the farm quality and redefine our way of thinking. From now on all of you only need to pay $1 for each apple you eat. It is very cheap as the price is $10 each outside the farm, at the market". The workers have no choice but to pay $1 for the apple they eat daily. Their earnings decrease from $2 to $1 per person. As usual, B sells the 4 apples and he gets $40 in total. He uses $25 for farm improvement and pays $10 ($2 each) to his 5 workers. He gets $5 as profit. On top of that, he gets another $5 from the apples that he sells to his workers. In total, he gets $10 as profit every day.
Soon, the apple price increases to $20 each. B gets a higher profit of $80 for the 4 apples he sells daily. Then, he decides to give the farming improvement contract to one of his close friends, C. Gloomingly, C says: "Apple price has gone up, improvement cost must also go up, I can't avoid it". So, the farm improvement cost increases from $25 to $50. In actual case, the improvement only costs $30. The remaining $20 is discreetly shared equally between B and C.
Now, let's calculate how much B gets daily:
$10 ('illegally' from farm improvement cost)
$20 (Net profit by selling 4 apples: [Gross profit, $80] -[Improvement cost, $50] - [Wages $10] = $20)
$5 (from selling apples to his workers)
In total, B gets $35 daily compared to $10 initially when he takes over the farm from A. His profit increases to $25 and the workers are still getting $1 net daily per person. The greedy B does not want to stop there. One day, he says to his workers: "You see, the current market price for one apple is $20 and you are only paying $1. See how lucky you are! I have to SUBSIDIZE $19 for each of the apple you buy and in total I need to SUBSIDIZE $95. This will greatly burden the farm and I might go bankrupt if we continue like this and all of you will be jobless. In order to avoid bankruptcy, I need to increase the apple price that you buy from $1 to $1.50 and I will bear the remaining $18.50 per apple as my SUBSIDY to all of you".
So, greedy B adds $2.50 to his current profit and the number becomes $37.50.
After you have read the story, I am sure you might have already understood the meaning of "SUBSIDY". The $95 subsidy never existed in the first place and so is the fuel subsidy generously "given" your government
Think about it...

The Hardest Thing To Say To Someone
QUOTE-
Subject: RE: The Hardest Thing To Say To Someone
Do what you like.
The price of gasoline at the petrol station is set by the Government, not PETRONAS.
PETRONAS has done its patriotic duty by paying the dividends, royalties, corporate tax, petroleum tax etc to the Government for YOUR benefit (rakyat lah).
And bear in mind that 30% of its revenue comes from overseas operations, thus bringing in foreign exchange to the country.
OK. Assuming that you buy this idea proposed by whoever it was.
So PETRONAS will have reduced revenues. Bear in mind that the costs of operations are also increasing. So the profits are reduced. Then PETRONAS and other oil companies pay less taxes.
Then the Government will have less revenue. (Note: at least 40% of Government revenue for 2007 came from the oil industry). With less revenue, there will be less Government projects (you can then forget about bridges and highways, and rail tracks, and smart schools and
not-so-smart universities, and hospitals, etc). So contractors and consultants, and con-sultans and con-cronies will cry and scream.
Makan batu lah..
The Government has already announced freezing of recruitment. So, many new graduates will be unemployed. Makan batu lagi. Maggi mee pun tak mampu dah.
Later, all sorts of allowances for civil servants will have to be withdrawn. Treasury tak cukup duit.
On top of that the oil industry may have to scale back many of its new investments, totaling about 45 billion ringgit over the next few years. Contractors, service providers, steel fabricators, maritime service providers etc will join the ratapan tangisan - no jobs.
Don't forget that PETRONAS is sponsoring thousands of students in universities and even high schools - at any one time there are more than 4,500 university students being sponsored by PETRONAS in Malaysian universities and overseas. Also more than 2,000 high school children receive minor scholarships - children of poor families.
Kalau PERTRONAS tak ada duit, kesian lah mereka di atas tu. Shall I ask them to see the proposer of this idea (to boycott PETRONAS) and seek help from them instead?
So, it is to YOUR benefit that you make sure PETRONAS keeps making enough money to support YOUR Government so that your children can continue to go to school without paying for fees and books, and to go to universities at peanuts rates.
CONCLUSION: Help yourself and your family and your country by making sure that PETRONAS keeps making profits. Go to the nearest PETRONAS station and fill up now!!
Don't forget that if you go to non-Petronas station, the profits that these companies get will go their shareholders OVERSEAS.
So, be patriotic. Do your duty. Go to PETRONAS!!
(I hope you guys will help to send this response to as many contacts as possible to counter this subversive proposal).
