Three Magic Words to be remembered

There are three magic words that everyone wish to hear it from another person, my teacher once said. They are:-

THANK YOU

PLEASE

I AM SORRY

I believe if everyone practise these three special words, even an angry person could be warm after hearing it. Same principal as appreciation. Everytime we receive others kindness, we should be thankful to Allah for the rezeki He gave us and there are many ways to show that are being grateful with what we receive. One of them is treat that person nicely, respect his likeness and his unlikeness. If he dont like it, dont do it. Try to please other in every way we can, than he would know that we appreciate his kindness.

Then whenever we made a mistake, just said sorry. Maybe it is not part of our culture yet, but i belive with a little practise we can manage it. Another problems of ours is, we are afraid to ask, what is the problem? and we tried our best to solve it but by making our own assumption and not by asking him face to face. Isnt it? I just realize it when abah mention it.

And about please. I think it is not a big deal here since we are good in mengambil hati orang. Just like my little sister,just by saying please and show her cute face expression my other family member would totally obey her wants. Same phenomena at the night market, with muka bersungguh that we really want the product insya Allah we will manage to get the price we want from the salesman. See, that is the power of please.

p/s: A reminder for my own

Celebrated Umi's Birthday

As 2008 ended, my mum age turns into a new number. Now she is 45 but still everytime she walks with me or my other siblings, everybody would say that we are sisters. I guess she is a real awet muda, isn’t she?

So I decided to celebrate it in a special way. Thus together with nana and izzah, we went around the city and search for a restaurant. We intent to eat at a Chinese restaurant like we did at Kota Bharu situated close to Ansar Hotel. I truly enjoyed the food. But somehow we only manage to find a restaurant served Thailand food, Puri Bali Restaurant. ButI guess it is still OK. So we reserved the place.

Later at night, we bring along the whole family there. Umi keep on asking with a worrying face, “Have you been here? Why we stop at this place?” And we just smile. Since Umi always said, “would it be nice if we are in Bali”. So here we are at Puri Bali, maybe it is not the same,and of course it is not, but I hope it is still OK.

We have five special dishes that night; butter prawn, kerabu mangga, ayam halia, ikan 3 rasa and some fruits as the dessert. And it was my first time to have a taste of pandanus drink. It is lain daripada yang lain. Everyone looks like they enjoy the food with a smile. Looking at everyone faces with smile is a bless. Thank You Allah for the chances you gave me to have this moment with my loved one around.

Then on 7^th January, Nana and I have another plan for Umi. We brought her to D’Navchee spa eventhough she refused about it at first. I believe every woman have a dream to be treated like a queen like they have at the spa. So I guess it is a perfect give for my mum’s birthday. We came back there after 3 hours and I could see a big difference definely. Her face now is so BEAUTIFUL. Plus dengan yang memang dah cantik, bertambahlah cantik=) Nana and I received a big hug and a kiss from her and my heart are blooming. I will remember this feeling forever, nice, warm and full of love. Thank You UMi and HAPPY BIRTHDAY. You are my mother, my inspiration, my best friend, my ALL. Semoga Usia ini diberkati Allah dan dilimpahi dengan kesihatanyang berpanjangan, amin.

Hard Life?

My English teacher in Mara College Seremban once said something that I will never forget. She is beautiful teacher with a great personality. She always inspired us in every way in anyway she can. She used this phrase whenever we face any problems or having difficulties in making a right decision. Everyone in my class I believe remember it. She said, ‘Life is hard, so why we make it harder, right?’ Yup there she goes. I think she is right. Whenever we have any trouble or confuse about something, I think we should think of something that will ease our mind, not make it hard either on our side or others. Don’t messed-up our mind with something unimportant and unnecessary things. Then the stress will come even close to you, Insya Allah.

CC ogh CC

Kewujudan CC aka Cyber Cafe bagaikan cendawan tumbuh di negara kita. Di segenap tempat pasti ada Internet Cafe, Cyber CAfe dan segala macam jenis Cafe. TApi semua kemudahan ini disalah gunakan oleh anak muda masa kini. Rata-rata hanya menggunakan khidmat komputer yang disediakan untuk bermain game. Deruman enjin kereta amat membingitkan apatah lagi dengan kumpulan kanak-kanak yang membanjiri kafe-kafe ini. AGH BISINGNYA.

Kenapa tidak pengusaha CC ini menyediakan menyelia penggunaan komputer ini? Mungkin mereka patut meninggikan lagi harga sewa komputer ini, terutamanya untuk yang bermain game. Namun ibu bapa juga harus memainkan peranan penting dalam menyelia anak-anak mereka. Usah dibiar mereka keluar jika sebelum jam 5. Seharusnya di waktu ini, mereka menyiapkan kerja ruumah dan mengulangkaji pelajaran. Jika tidak pun, beristirehat selepas seharian bertungkus lumus di sekolah.

NAmun, apa yang paling pentting adalah kesedaran kanak-kanak ini sendiri. Mereka perlu sedar apa yang mereka mahu dalam hidup. Mereka perlu tahu apa yang mereka inginkan dalam diri mereka 10-20 tahun akan datang. Tanpa kesedaran sebegini, mereka akan terus dibuai keseronokan alam kanak-kanak @ remaja yang hanya muncul seketika ini cuma.

Israel Mengganas Lagi

Israel kini mengganas lagi. Menghantar bedilan demi bedilan membunuh nyawa-nyawa yang tidak berdosa. Semakin ramai yangmenangis hiba, dan hospital mereka kini dipenuhi mangsa serangan kejam rejim zionis itu dan darah suci mereka terus-terusan mengalir membasahi tanah suci PAlestin itu.

Pelbagai tindakan yang diambil diseluruh dunia termasuk perarakan mengecam tindakan kejam mereka, dan begi rakyat Negara Palestin itu sendiri mereka mengambil tindakan untuk mengebom diri mereka sendiri. NAmun sejauh mana usaha itu berhasil mempengaruhi tindakan ganas tersebut? Namun yang hairannya, kenapa Negara Islam disekitar Negara itu sendiri mengambil sikap acuh tak acuh? Mengapa tidak menghulurkan walau sedikit bantuan meringan beban? Soalan demi soalan menerjah fikiran.

Liga Arab meliputi 22 buah Negara di rantau Asia Barat. Sebahagian daripada mereka adalah United Arab Bersatu, Syria, Jordan, Tunisia, Bahrain, Comoros, Libya, Oman, Iraq dan Sudan. Kesemua Negara ini adalah jiran terdekat kepada Palestin. Namun Negara-negara ini masih mampu bertahan kerana didokong oleh Negara barat; AS terutamanya dari segi ekonomi. Jadi mereka masih merupakan boneka AS penyokong besar Israel itu sendiri. Jadi niat untuk mendapatkan pertolongan Negara jiran kini terpaksa ditolok mentah. Apatah lagi mereka seperti tidak mengambil endah akan serangan bertubi-tubi yang dilancarkan oleh rejim Zionis kejam itu.

So the next opportunity is using our hak kebebasan bersuara. Do some demonstrasi jalanan bagi menunjukkan rasa tidak puas hati terhadap tindakan. Make some banners like what we see on TV. Mungkin jika kita senekad rakyat Thailand ketika mereka berhimpun di International Airport selama seminggu lamanya akhirnya membuahkan hasil. Mungkin Amerika @ Israel juga seperti itu; tidak mampu menghadapi tekanan apatah lagi dari masyarakat antarabangsa. Namun dengan syarat kita nekad melakukannya. So it is possible but I don’t think it is a very good idea.

Next, I completely agree with the idea of boycotting Israel product, seperti mana yang disuarakan oleh Tun Dr Mahathir dalam Astro Awanis. Bak kata Tun, ekonomi mereka kini sudah lemah and it is bad for them. Ini telah diakui sendiri oleh Barack Obama; the next US president that will be formally appointed on 20^th January 2009. So why don’t we worsened the situation that already worst? Sounds easy don’t it? Kempen boikot barangan Belanda tempoh hari ekoran insiden filem pendek juga berjaya melumpuhkan ekonomi mereka, walaupun ianya dijalankan dalam masa yang singkat. Jadi apa kata kita bergabung tenaga sekali lagi bagi melumpuhkan mereka atau jika mungkin mematikan uasaha kejam mereka. Remember one dollar you spend cost a life. Ia mungkin susah kerana kita banyak menggunakan produk mereka, namun sedikit usah adari kita mungkin akan membawa perubahan. BAk kata orang, Better late than never. Maybe we could change it. Better something than nothing.

Semoga usaha kita diberkati Allah dan semoga saudara kita di Palestin mendapat kekuatan menerima ujian yang Maha Esa ini. Mungkin inilah ujian Allah terhadap masyarakat dunia dan Islam khususnya terhadap sejauh mana kita khalifah menjalankan tanggungjawab di muka bumi ini dan sejauh manakah masyarakat dunia menangani krisis masyarakat yang berlarutan ini.

Kerana setiap ilmu itu ada gunanya

I was reading a novel by Damya Hanna, a famous book that I believed most of the peminat novel melayu love this book. But I have different point of view when I read it for the first time. So now I am rereading the book and try to find what is so interesting about this novel that everyone love it.

Then in this book, I found something interesting on chapter 26. This guy Syahran now has fall in love with his wife that he married on contract, just for the sake to save his life from marrying a girl chose by his mother. And now he don’t know what to do when his wife Alia refuse to accept his love. And here he go to see his psychiatrist, his own best friend Adli.

So his friend was trying to give some advice adapting his account knowledge he used to learn back in London to help his confused friend. He said,

(In Malay)

“Semua orang tahu debit akan menambahkan akaun asset dan kredit pulak akan mengurangkan akaun asset, right?

…

“Aku ibaratkan kau syah sebagai akaun asset tunai. So dalam akaun kau akan terlibat akau hasil dan belanja kan?”

“Dalam akaun tunai kau, hasil yang paling penting ialah lelaki dan suami. So both of them are now in your debit account since both of them are an important hasil in your account right?”

“Sekiranya kau nak tambah nilai tunai, kau kena cari banya hasil, kan?”

“So tambahkan akaun kau dengan dgn sifat penyayang, ambil berat and etc. Seelol-eloknya jangan ada belanja dibahagian debit yang boleh mencacatkan akaun kau! But remember, sometimes belanja juga perlu untuk menambahkan sesuatu hasil, Contohnya ibaratkan perasaan cemburu kau sebagai satu belanja. Itu akan menunjukkan yang kau sayangkan dia. So kasih saying tu suatu hasil”

I absolutely love it. I like the idea of practicing the things we learn in our real life. So jangan ingat sesuatu yang kita belajar itu membazir. Mungkin sekarang ni kita tak Nampak lagi gunanya. Mungin 10 tahun lagi baru kita cakap, “Ha ini yang aku belajar dulu”. Kerana setiap ilmu itu ada gunanya, ada manfaatnya=)
