Living is When There's Always "Change"

2010-11-18T12:27:00.002+08:00

My friends know that I like to change jobs and I confess that it is true. But when I joined Indah Water I was 37 years old. And now I am already 40, and I have actually more or less decided to settle down in this company. The working environment is pleasant so far and I have a clear career path for the next 2 years.

So when MILS called me for an interview few months back, I hesitated. Nevertheless, I have always advised those who asked not to disregard interviews. No harm in attending interviews, is there? In fact, I think it’s good. Nothing to lose, but probably some good things to gain. So I attended. It was informal. At Coffee Bean Subang Parade.

Later I was offered the job. I tried to decline but they somehow ‘checkmated’ me. I had no way to decline without leaving bad impression to them and I seriously didn’t want that! So I had to accept, hesitantly. In fact, I am still hesitant about accepting this offer.

But acceptance had been made and the contract of service was technically effected. So I will be leaving Indah Water soon. It was quite a shock to me when the Head of Human Resource in Indah Water actually told me that if I felt that I couldn’t take the daily commute (100 km return trip daily), then I should give her a call and she would take me back in! Didn’t expect that from an Iron Lady who was responsible for drafting the policy that Indah Water would not re-employ ex-Indahan!

Anyways, I appreciate the offer. But I would like to give this new career a shot. Living is when there are changes. So if I want to continue living, I should adapt to the changes. This is, indeed, a big change in anybody’s life, isn’t it? I might have to change my plan to settle down. But I have a target – I want to be in MISC Bhd. in 2 years time. I want to settle down in MISC Bhd.

Please wish me luck! Thanx!

They solemnised their marriage a few days ago in Klang, Selangor (Bride's home) and had their first grand reception in KL. A second one a few hours ago at Crowne Plaza Hotel, where we had our "first" reunion way back in December 2005, after so many left the company, the birthplace of K-Oz. Only this time it was at 30th floor penthouse with the open air area for the cocktail pre-dinner reception.

CONGRATULATIONS MOON ( & Bride, Meen)! WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!! We hope to organise a small reception for K-Oz friends to be introduced to Meen, some times soon, after you are done with ur third reception in KB.

SONG FOR WHOEVER - Beautiful South - Fav From 1989

2008-05-15T16:12:00.003+08:00

I love you from the bottom, of my pencil case
I love you in the songs, I write and sing
Love you because, you put me in my rightful place
And I love the PRS cheques, that you bring

Cheap, never cheap
Ill sing you songs till youre asleep
When youve gone upstairs Ill creep
And write it all down

Oh shirley, oh deborah, oh julie, oh jane
I wrote so many songs about youI forget your name (I forget your name)
Jennifer, alison, phillipa, sue, deborah, annabel, too
Jennifer, alison, phillipa, sue, deborah, annabel, too
I forget your name

I love your from the bottom of my pencil case
I love the way you never ask me whyI
love to write about each wrinkle on your face
And I love you till my fountain pen runs dry

Deep so deep, the number one I hope to reap
Depends upon the tears you weep, so cry, lovey cry, cry, cry, cry

Oh cathy, oh alison, oh phillipa, oh sue
You made me so much money, I wrote this song for you
Jennifer, alison, phillipa, sue, deborah, annabel, tooI
wrote this song for you
So let me talk about mary, a sad story
Turned her grief into glory
Late at night, by the typewriter light,
She ripped his ribbon to shreds

Not 11, But It Was a Happy Crowd!

Untuk Makluman Kengka

2008-01-04T15:45:00.000+08:00

Alhamdulillah, kawan dan adinda kawan, era, telah selamat dinikahkan pada hari sabtu 2hb Jun 2007, jam 9.30 malam di rumah orang tua kawan di taman uda, johor bahru. Kami cuma adakan majlis yang ringkas sahaja, iaitu hanya upacara akad nikah dan jamuan makan. Para jemputan cuma saudara mara yang rapat, jiran2 dan kawan2 yang terdekat. Kad jemputan tak buat, cuma jemput mulut.

Imam yang menikahkan kami ialah Imam Mahad (Datuk), imam besar Masjid Sultan Abu Bakar. Kebetulan dia ni saudara mak kawan, maka mak kawan memang request dia untuk nikahkan kami. Seperti yang janjikan, imam mahad tiba di rumah kawan selepas waktu Isyak, iaitu kira-kira pukul 9.30 malam.

Segala persiapan untuk majlis malam tu kawan buat secara ala kadar sahaja. Hidangan yang kami sediakan pada malam tu ialah nasi beriani lauk daging masak beriani, ayam masak merah, laksa johor dan rojak petis. Semuanya dimasak sendiri oleh keluarga kawan dan dibantu jiran2.

Rombongan adinda kawan dari seberang tiba lebih kurang pukul 9mlm. Sedara mara adinda kawan yang datang lebih kurang 20 org. Member2 sepejabat adinda kawan dari seberang yang datang lebih kurang 20 org. Member2 dia semua excited sebab mereka tu semua bukan melayu (e.g. Chinese, Japanese, Greek, American dan Indian) so mereka rasa macam best sangat dapat pergi majlis kami, majlis orang melayu.

Kawan memang tak hebahkan sangat dengan member2 berita tentang kawan akan bernikah. Kawan cuma beritahu dan jemput member2 pejabat kawan di JB je. Member2 kat KL, kawan cuma beritahu dan jemput zahrin dan yasmin je (member baik kawan masa di ITM dulu). Member2 yang lain2 kawan tak beritahu lebih-lebih lagi pada member2 yang kenal dengan bekas isteri kawan dan tak tahu yang kawan dah bercerai. Bukannya kawan nak berahsia sangat tentang pernikahan kawan kali yang ke-dua ni cuma kawan belum bersedia untuk bercakap pasal perceraian kawan dengan bekas isteri kawan.

Hari sabtu 29 Dis 2007 yang lepas kawan rasa sudah tibalah masanya untuk kawan beritahu dan kenalkan adinda kawan pada member2 k-oz. Kepada member2 k-oz yang berkesempatan berjumpa dengan adinda kawan di izzi hari tu, kawan ucapkan terima kasih kerana sambutan baik yang telah diberikan. Mohon doa restu dari kawan2 agar rumahtangga kami kekal dan bahagia.

Alhamdulillah, adinda kawan juga senang dengan ahli2 k-oz yang ada di izzi pada hari tu. The food was good, restoran tu best dan the reunion was great. We are also looking forward for the next reunion.

p/s Gambar yang boleh kawan posting kan ni adalah gambar yang ada dalam pc kawan ni. Gambar yg lain ada dalam album (tak de softcopy).

It's A Reunion... Almost!!!

Ok, let me tell you something. I used to hate this song. I know it is a HUGE song and everybody seems like so into it. For me, it's soo annoying. Everytime I hear the song on the radio, I get irritated. Well, Rihanna's version I mean. Although I think the remix version with Chris Brown is kinda cute (I am looking the one with the glass slipper, you can be my cinderella, ella ella eh eh). hahaah. However, one thing that I like about the song is the sweet lyrics. If you listen carefully, the lyrics basically about being your loved ones's shelter or something like it.

Anyway, one day i heard on radio this lovely acoustic version of the song and i instantly fell in love with it. It was by this one girl named Marie Digby, she did this cover version on youtube and BAM! now it's like a phenomenon. She even appeared on tv, on the Carson Daly show. You can search youtube for marie digby and she has her page there. Very cute (I am sure Lampin would love this haha) and has this raw, lovely voice. She did a lot of cover versions. Check her out.

Anyway back to the song, Mandy Moore also sang an acoustic version during her Yahoo Live performance too. Me likey!! Mandy's version is more mellow and soft and sweet. I put both videos here, so check them out if you guys have time.

So i dedicate this song to all of you, you can stand under my umbrella.. ella ella ella eh eh eh ;-P

Marie Digby

Mandy Moore

You had my heart, and we'll never be a world apart
Maybe in magazines but you'll still be my star
But baby 'cause in the dark you will see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you I'll always share because

When the sun shines we shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
That I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, I'm gonna stick it out 'til the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
know that we still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)

The fancy things they're never coming in between
You're apart of my entity
Here for infinity
When the war has took its part
When the world has dealt it's cards
If the hand is hard

Together we'll mend your heart because
When the sun shines we shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
That I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, I'm gonna stick it out 'til the end
Now that it's raining more than ever know that we still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my

You can run into my arms
It's okay, don't be alarmed
Come into me
So gonna let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more because
When the sun shines we shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
That I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, I'm gonna stick it out 'til the end
Now that it's raining more than ever know that we still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my

It's raining (raining)
Ooh baby it's raining (raining)
Come into me
Come into me
It's raining (raining)
Ooh baby it's raining (raining)
Come into me
Come into me(ella ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh eh eh-eh)

Night with Samsons

2007-08-12T11:48:00.000+08:00

I miss this blog. It has been quiet for awhile. Hey korang, why nobody update anything? We can use this as a way for us to well tell each other whats happening in our live. Jomla... Anyway, biar jan la bercerita hari ni.

Last night jan pergi concert samsons. Free concert of some sort. Digi sponsored. Jan pun tak tau, my friend yg arrange for the tickets. It was at Dewan Wawasan, Menara PGRM. First time la jan pergi free concert and have to stand in the crowd. Samsons was great, but the crowd is not really my thing. At times, Jan takut jugak. I mean, Jan tak pernah kot gi concert without a male member of my family or friends. Last night was just me and my friend Ain. I thought it was a seated concert, since cam well dewan tu kecikkan. Tapi kitaorg cam shocked skit la cam dua2 pun cam nervous la.. alamak.. kena diri camni ke. Dah la nak start lambat, so lama la ngan org2 pushing and sticky yucks.. about 930 baru start. Samsons performance was great, vocal best giler. and he is so cute!! hahaha.. but i dont know most of the songs, I only know 3 songs from the band - Kenangan Terindah, Bukan Diriku and Naluri Lelaki. Kenangan Terindah was awesome, best sgt!!! Tapi i wass sooo disappointed sebab dorang tak nyanyi bukan diriku. I was looking forward to it so much! I was nervous when some guys nearby sort of like acting wild, mcm duduk atas bahu and tak pakai baju, bwk banner something relating to the band's country of origin. But we were near in front, depan ada polis and some security people so cam ok la kan. The concert ended around 1030la.

Overall, Jan cam starting to like the band la, I really like the new song, Kisah Tak Sempurna, pretty heartbreaking, eventho cam tak paham sgt lyrics nyer hahah. My friend tu minat giler ngan dorang ni so it sort of rubbed on to me too. But from this experience, rasa cam tak nak dah la gi free concert. Hahahha i rather pay and rasa more safe and comfortable. I've been to quite a number of concerts and this was the only one yang made me kinda nervous. hahah takpela..experience kan? Bila lagi.

The Spirit That We Don't Fathom

A picture speaks a thousand words, but it cannot still explains an emotion. These pictures tell us a story of Palestinians youngsters. While our future generations skip schools to join the stunt world of Motor Rempit, the Palestinian children are risking their lives to go to school.

I dropped a few tears in the car on the way to work this morning. I am so tired. I don't really want to be here right now. I am tired of trying to be optimistic about things.

I told my brother just awhile ago that I can't do this anymore. I feel like i have to drag myself to work everyday. Everytime I think about going to the office, I felt like throwing up. Those are not good signs, right? It's not the workload. It's not the people (i've made some good friends here). I am not really sure why. I guess the feeling of insecurity and the future of my career. I don't see myself progressing here. I am worried that my value will go down, if I stay here too long. I feel like I am stuck here. I am worried about so many other things.

My brother told me to hold on. He told me to keep trying. He told me that maybe this is my downcycle but it's during this time that it makes me stronger. He said that later, when I am on the upcycle, I'll be able to relate to this experience. I told him I am tired trying to be strong and keep my head high. He told me that, I went this far already and it's not worth quitting right now after all my sufferings. He told me to do enough to survive.

If there is one thing that I am not happy about my life right now is my work lah! I am not even worried about being single and not married at this point of time (eventhough there are people who worries for me). Without work, how would I survive in this world? Maybe this is not the job for me. Who knows maybe I am destined to be something else?

I don't know what I would do without my brother, family and close friends. I feel like putting everything aside and just go. But a grasp of reality makes me tell myself.. please, keep holding on. Just step out of the office, I become a different person entirely. It is bad that when it is the beginning of a fresh day, a brand new week, but I am already wishing for the weekend. I wish you guys will never have to feel like what I am feeling right now. It is not good. I don't want my friends to have to go through this experience. It sucks!

I know that I have to keep my head up. But today, i just feel weak. I just want everything to be happier, with rainbows and sunshine. I know that there are other people who suffer things worst than me. It's not that I am not grateful with what I have, but I feel there is so much more to this and it really frustrating for me, cuz it's not happening to me!

I am sorry if this post sounded emotional or "disturbing". And don't worry, I am still sane, I am ok. I am still doing what I am doing right now. I just need a place to say things out, ya know. I felt better now. Anyway, thanks for reading.

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home and ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

High up above or down below when you're too in love to let it go but
If you never try you'll never know
Just what your worth
Lights will guide you home and ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears streaming down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears streaming down your face and I
Tears streaming down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and I
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

~ Fix You, Coldplay

HAPPY SECOND ANNIVERSARY K-OZ

2007-04-25T18:53:00.000+08:00

It has been two years since this blog was set up for this group of friends.... a lot had happened and somehow although things seem to fall apart, I know the spirit is there.... especially today when we had lunch with Sam.... missed u a lot la Sam even though we chat in cyberworld almost every day ..... it has been 4 months since we last met Sam..... and last week I had lunch with all the girls except Akla.....

When is the next reunion boys and girls?

It's Been A Long Time

2007-04-24T14:06:00.000+08:00

I can't even remember when was the last time I post anything in here. But I do catch up on Khayal's posts and I know Carebear update this blog sometimes... it could be that we have lost the K-Oz spirit altogether.... what a loss.....

But I am glad we still keep the communication chanel opened and we still arrange meetings and get-togethers every now and then.... I have not seen Dubuk and Lampin for a while now... had lunch with the girls last Friday and I was so happy. Everybody looked happy. I didn't realised how much I have missed Syir, who look really Grreat!!!!

A lot has changed since K-Oz started this blog some 2 years ago. I am with 2 kids now. My little Millie is almost 8 months old. Shaf has also added on to the "insurance policy to get" list (heheheh, Shaf dah buat ker belum?) less than a month earlier than I have.

My Millie is my angel. Godsent during times of trouble. Really!! It was an easy pregnancy and and easy labour, especially considering that I had my first baby almost 7 years before. And now, she is an easy baby to look after. She sleeps through the night with once or twice night feed. She rarely shows tantrum. She is playful and cheeky.

All the girls except Akla has met my little angel but she is much bigger now... Her photo at one day old and another one at 7 month old are pasted here.

Operation Death - Extract from Email

2006-10-14T12:17:00.000+08:00

Another interesting email again. Received today. I wish I knew who the original author of this was:

*IN THE NAME OF ALLAH MOST GRACIOUS MOST MERCIFUL*
*OPERATION DEATH*
* *
*This is the tale of an average man who acts contrary to Allahs plan, if you
are reflected herein then repent and commit no sin.*
* *
Twas early in the morning at four, when death knocked upon a bedroom door,'
who is there?' the sleeping one cried,"I'm Izrael, let me inside"

At once the man began to shiver,as one sweating in deadly fever,he shouted
to his sleeping wife, "don't let him take away my life".

"Please go away o angel of death", leave me alone, im not ready yet, my
family on me depend; give me a chance o please perpend

The angel knocked again and again, "friend ill take your life without a
pain, tis your soul that Allah requires, I come not on my own desire.

Bewildered the man began o cry, "o angel im so afraid to die", ill give you
gold and be your slave, don't send me to the unit grave.

Let me in o friend the angel said, open the door get up from your bed, if
you do not allow me in, I will walk through it like a jinn.

The man held a gun in his right hand, ready to defy the angels stand, ill
point my gun towards your head; you dare come in ill shoot you dead.

By now the angel was in the room, saying o friend prepare for the doom,
foolish man angels never die, put down your gun and do not sigh.

Why are you afraid tell me o man, to die according to Allah's plan?,come
smile at me do not be grim,be happy to return to him.

O angel I bow my head in shame, I had no time to take Allah's name,from morn
till dusk I made my wealth, not even caring about my health.

Allah's commands I never obeyed, nor five times a day I ever prayed, a
fasting came a fasting went, but no time had I to repent.

The pilgrimage was already incumbent on me, but I would not part with my
money, all charities I did ignore, taking usury more and more.

Sometimes I sipped my favourite wine, with flirting women I sat to dine,o
angel I appeal to you, spare my life for a year or two.

The laws of holy books I will obey ill begin prayers this very day, my fast
and pilgrimage I will complete, and keep away from self conceit.

I will refrain from usury, and give all my wealth to charity, wine and
wenches I will detest, Allah's oneness I will attest.

We angels do what allah demands, we cannot go against his commands, death is
ordained for everyone, father, mother, daughter or son.

Im afraid this moment is your last, now be reminded more of your past, I do
understand your fears, but it is now too late for tears.

You lived in this world, two score or more, never did you your people adore,
your parents you did not obey, hungry beggars you turned away.

Yout two ill begotten female offspring, in nightclubs for a livelihood they
sing, instead of making more faithfuls, you made your children ungrateful.

You ignored the calls of prayer, nor did you read the holy book, breaking
promises all your life, backbiting friends and causing strife.

From hoarded goods, great profits you made, and your poor workers, you
underpaid, horses and cards were your leisure, money-making was your
pleasure.

O human you have done enough wrong, you bought good properties for a song,
when the farmers appealed to you, you did not have mercy, tis true.

Paradise for you, I cannot tell, undoubtedly, you will dwell in hell,
there's no time for you to repent, ill take your soul for which im sent.

The ending however is very sad, eventually the man became mad, with a cry he
jumped out of bed and suddenly he fell down dead.

O reader take a moral from here, never know your end may be near, change
your living and make amends, for heaven on your deeds depends.

The Cutest Duet EVER!

Where Everybody Knows Your Name

2006-07-23T17:03:00.000+08:00

Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot
Wouldn't you like to get away?

All those night when you've got no lights
The check is in the mail
And your little angel hung the cat up by it's tail
And your third fiance didn't show

Sometimes you want to go,
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You want to be where you can see
Our troubles are all the same
You want to be where everybody knows your name

Roll out of bed Mr. Coffee's dead
The morning's looking bright
And your shrink ran off to Europe
And didn't even write
And your husband wants to be a girl

Be glad there's one place in the world
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You want to go where people know
People are all the same
You want to go where everybody knows your name

Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came

~Where Everybody Knows Your Name by Gary Portnoy and Judy Hart Angelo (Theme song from "Cheers")~

Hey guys! Remember this email?

Sebenarnya, antara lelaki dan perempuan terdapat perbezaan dari segi pemahaman komunikasi. Ramai yang kurang menyedari hal ini terutamanya kaum lelaki.Lelaki perlulah memahami dan menyelami apakah maksud di sebalik kata-kata seorang perempuan. Sebagai contohnya:

1. Kalau perempuan tanya: Lawa ke budak pompuan tu?
Makna tersembunyi: Siapa yang paling lawa? I ke, budak pompuan tu?
2. Kalau perempuan tanya: You dah makan ke belum?
Makna tersembunyi: Jom pi makan. Lapar ni!

3. Kalau perempuan kata: Lawa-lawa la baju kat sini, yek.
Makna tersembunyi: Belikanlah untuk I.

4. Kalau perempuan kata: Rasa macam nak pening la.
Makna tersembunyi: Tolong picit kepala.

5. Kalau perempuan kata: Letihnya hari ni. Mana nak masak, basuh kain-baju lagi...
Makna tersembunyi: Kita makan kat luar jelah. Lepas tu, tolong basuh kain-baju sekali, yek.

6. Kalau perempuan kata: Kita lebih sesuai berkawan saja.
Makna tersembunyi: I tak nak kat you. Tak paham-paham ke?

7. Kalau perempuan kata: I suka berkawan dengan you. You baik, memahami bla bla bla...
Makna tersembunyi: Hish... I rasa macam minat sesangat kat you la. Rasa macam nak jadi awek you je.

8. Kalau perempuan tanya: You pernah tak teringatkan awek you yang dulu?
Makna tersembunyi: Kalau nak gaduh, kalau berani sangat, sebut la nama dia depan aku.

9. Kalau perempuan kata: I sanggup berkorban demi kebahagiaan you.
Makna tersembunyi: Amboi! Aku kena berkorban. Habih, hangpa dua ekoq gak yang seronok.

10.Kalau perempuan kata: I tak kisah kalau memang betul you nak kahwin lagi satu. Asalkan you berterus-terang dengan I, bersikap jujur dan berlaku adil.
Makna tersembunyi: Sapa kata aku tak kisah? Adil ke tak adil, aku tak kira! Langkah mayat aku dulu sebelum nak menikah lagi satu.

Ini cuma contoh saja. Tapi, memang ia selalu berlaku. Kalau tak percaya, cuba tanya isteri atau awek masing-masing, betul tak cakap di mulut tak sama dengan niat di hati. Bukannya kaum perempuan ni tak jujur dalam meluahkan isi hati mereka tapi. Wanita ni bukankah pemalu?

They Really Hate Lawyers, Don't They?

2006-05-26T21:10:00.000+08:00

"It is interesting to note that criminals have multiplied of late, and lawyers have also; but I repeat myself." - Mark Twain

Reading about the dispute regarding the stare decisis issue between Justice Paul and Justice Sri Ram now make me think that even lawyers themselves hate lawyers, don't they? I'mnot going to comment who's right or wrong between the two learned judges, but I'd like to do what Irsha and Sam did - share some internet and email jokes with you. But these jokes are specially meant for lawyers (jangan marah bang!).

 What do lawyers use for birth control? Their personalities.
 What is the difference between a tick and a lawyer? A tick falls off of you when you die.
 Why does the law society prohibit sex between lawyers and their clients? To prevent clients from being billed twice for what is essentially the same service.
 What do you have when 100 lawyers are buried up to their neck in sand? Not enough sand.
 What's the difference between a dead skunk in the road and a dead lawyer in the middle of the road? There are skid marks in front of the skunk.
 What is black and brown and looks good on a lawyer? A Doberman.
 Why are lawyers like nuclear weapons? If one side has one, the other side has to get one. Once launched, they cannot be recalled. When they land, they screw up everything forever.
 What do lawyers and sperm have in common? One in 3,000,000 has a chance of becoming a human being.
 Did you hear that the Post Office just recalled their latest stamps? They had pictures of lawyers on them ...and people couldn't figure out which side to spit on.
 Lawyer's creed: A man is innocent until proven broke.
 What's the difference between a female lawyer and a pit bull? Lipstick.
 What do you call 20 lawyers skydiving from an airplane? Skeet.
 What do you get when you cross a bad politician with a crooked lawyer? Chelsea Clinton If you see a lawyer on a bicycle, why should you swerve to avoid hitting him? It might be your bicycle.
 Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, an honest lawyer and an old drunk are walking down the street together when they simultaneously spot a hundred dollar bill. Who gets it? The old drunk, of course; the other three are mythical creatures.
 It was so cold last winter ... (How cold was it?) I saw a lawyer with his hands in his own pockets.
 A man walked into a lawyer's office and inquired about the lawyer's rates. "$50.00 for three questions", replied the lawyer. "Isn't that awfully steep?" asked the man. "Yes," the lawyer replied, "and what was your third question?"
 You're trapped in a room with a tiger, a rattlesnake and a lawyer. You have a gun with two bullets. What should you do? You shoot the lawyer. Twice.

Last dose.A lawyer in Charlotte, NC purchased a box of very rare and expensive cigars, then insured them against fire among other things. Within a month, having smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars and without yet having made even his first premium payment on the policy, the lawyer filed a claim with the insurance company.
In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars were lost "in a series of small fires." The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason: that the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion. The lawyer sued....and won! In delivering the ruling the judge agreed with the insurance company that the claim was frivolous. The judge stated nevertheless, that the lawyer held a policy from the company in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure them against fire, without defining what is considered to be "unacceptable fire," and was obligated to pay the claim. Rather than endure lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance company accepted the ruling and paid $15,000.00 to the lawyer for his loss of the rare cigars lost in the "fires."
But... After the lawyer cashed the check, the insurance company had him arrested on 24 counts of ARSON! With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case used against him, the lawyer was convicted of intentionally burning his insured property and was sentenced to 24 months in jail and a $24,000.00 fine. This is a TRUE news story. NOT a joke.

Macam Mana Nak Cantik?

2006-05-25T20:31:00.000+08:00

Leceh kalau tanya soalan ni pada lelaki, kan? Jawapan macam-macam je: "Kau dah memang cantik" (ada udang sebalik batu kan?); "Kau jangan pakai apa-apa, mesti cantik!" (somebody please call the ambulance and paramedic for this guy please!); "Kenapa pulak kau nak jadi cantik?" (patut tak aku kata dia bodoh?)Sahabat aku pernah jawab "Ada orang akan anggap kau cantik, ada yang tak". "So? Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder?" "Yes. Definitely. Tapi sebab beholder tu manusia, dan manusia selalunya berubah-ubah fikiran, kau faham sendiri la.". "Jadi, kecantikan kena ikut citarasa semasa?" "Ya. Makin panjang masa berlalu, maka peliklah citarasa." "Pelik?" "Makin masa berlalu, makin kita tua, makin tak cantik." "Habis tu apa yang pelik?" "Sebab masih sayang." Tak semua orang akan anggap wanita dalam gambar-gamabr ni cantik. Sahabat aku mungkin ada citarasa tersendiri. Tapi aku rasa aku tau yang mana satu jadi idaman dia, kan bang? Kalian anggap yang mana cantik? Semuanya? Memang tak hairan kalau seorang perempuan meuji seorang perempuan yang lain sebagai cantik. Bukan tak biasa ya kita dengar orang perempuan kata "Cantiknya perempuan tu!". Tapi terasa pelik kan kalau kita dengar seorang lelaki kata "Handsomenya jejaka tu!" Ngeri!
Yang ini pilihan kau, bang?

Keretapi yang Dirindu...

2006-05-06T13:45:00.000+08:00

I still remember those days when I used to travel by rail. Those scary-looking locomotives. The smell of metal. The swings and shakes that made it almost futile just to walk from your seat to the toilets. And toilets? You could actually see the rail through the toilet bowl. And the sound of metal clashing and banging from underneath the coaches. Miss those days.
Now, our trains are more... ermm... modern? They look better. The locomotives are more powerful. The coaches look better. But I haven't been on board a train (except LRTs and Komuter) for many years now. I just see them from the outside. I can't really say about the toilets now. I hope passengers don't have to see the rails underneath them while they're using the bowl anymore.
But I know for a fact that the rails are still the same. Well, I guess they do replace the rails and slippers as and when necessary. The routes are the same I guess, probably with some different views and scenery here and there. I hope Bukit Berapit route is safer now. Whatever it is, I miss traveling by train. I miss the scenery the trip has to offer. I miss the swings and shakes. But I definitely do not miss the open-bottom toilet bowls!

So guys, what about all of us on vacation somewhere far - by rail? Cuti sekolah nak dekat ni!

Secret Recipe

2006-05-02T00:18:00.000+08:00

Hey K-ozzies!

How's everybody? Hope you guys had a really nice and relaxing weekend. Anyway, nothing much to tell, just thought of posting these pics taken on the Secret Recipe outing. Can't remember the date, SORRY! Thanks to our lovely and generous miss Emm-n-Emm for treating us that day. The pics are too candid and blur.. but it's alright kan.. as long as the precious moments were captured (gambar cam group rock wajib mesti ada!). Too bad for those who couldn't come - Sam The Great and G-string.. We missed you!

For the rest, I believe everybody enjoyed their meal (I know I did - that yummy Tom Yam noodles and Apple Kasturi, even though I salivated over Pootz's meal). Still can't get forget Moon's generosity and good heart by presenting Emm and the Queen their VERY BELATED birthday presents, it was hilarious, thanks to Pootz! and oh yes, the presents were really cute, nice one Moon! ;-)

I think everybody had a good time that day eventhough a tad too short for me. Not enough time to catch up with everybody. Anyway, hope to do this again sometime (very very soon, I hope) and hopefully with the full quorum.

Okie then, signing off for tonight. Take care people! Be good!

Miss u lots and much love!

Happy K-Oz Day

2006-04-25T08:30:00.000+08:00

Hi K-Ozzies!!!

Sorry this is a belated wish! Haven't got the time during the weekends. So, K-Oz is one year huh? How fast time flies. Looking back at the past year, there so many changes happened in our group huh? From being 11 together, now some of us are scattered about. Some near, some far, some still together.

I hope everybody will still use this blog as a place for us to update on each other lives. It would be nice if everybody would post something about themselves here. Whats new in their life. Whats happening etc. Whatever that matters to you, matters to the rest of us.

We should do that gathering! Maybe a fun day in the sun or a melodious day in the karaoke, a satisfied day in a nice restaurant, whatever.. so keep the ideas coming!

I wish everybody a great year ahead, and i hope we'll stay together. Much love! Happy K-oz Day!

So here's a speacial song for special people in my life!!

I needed the shelter of someone's arms and there you were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs
And there you were
With sweet love and devotion, deeply touching my emotion
I want to stop, and thank you baby
I just want to stop, and thank you baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

I close my eyes at night
Wondering where would I be without you in my life
Everything I did was just a bore
Everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before
But you brighten up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

You were better for me than I was for myself
For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

Gubra

2006-04-10T18:43:00.000+08:00

I watched gubra last night.

Gubra is on a different level from Sepet. You can't really compare between those two films.

Sepet is more "pop" ... dia straight to the point.. gubra ni cam nak sampaikan messages.. halfway thru the film i was kinda bored and dok fikir.. apa la message citer ni.. but then bila dah nak abis tu.. I think different people will have different understanding of the film. Its back to how different people has different perceptions.

For me, I think the film is about love between different generations and different types of people,those who give love will see how much they sacrifice for their loved ones and those who always receive will realise to appreciate those who gave their love

love for a friend, love for spouse, love for your family love for people, love in general.. etc.

I salute la yasmin ahmad ni in her way of expressing her views towards things.. like one of the characters dpt tau dia ada HIV. u dont have to have a dialogue to convey that. Yasmin Ahmad is a great storyteller.

Beautiful cinematography, great acting (Sharifah Amani was superb!), very poetic.

Gubra is thought provoking and controversial. You will get out of the cinema thinking.

As for me, I went out of the cinema feeling confused. Kahkahkah

Alien

2006-04-04T21:33:00.000+08:00

I remember during my university life when my friends and I were having this academic discussion. One of my friends actually said 'the natural rule of justice' when what he meant (and what it was supposed to be) was 'the rule of natural justice' instead.

Another friend, on the same topic, actually said 'nemo judex injuria' instead of 'nemo judex in causa sua'. Nemo judex in causa sua means 'no man can be a judge of his own cause' so our guess was that nemo judex injuria must have meant 'no man can be a judge if he's injured'.

Of course we had a good laugh then.

Something to Share

2006-04-02T23:52:00.000+08:00

"Everyone in the world needs someone they can depend on. Be they faithful friends, determined advocates, or a loving family. But occasionally in life, the people we thought would always be there for us…leave. And if that happens, it’s amazing the lengths we’ll go to, to get them back."

- Mary Alice Young, Desperates Housewives

His presence, comforting
His sense-of-belonging, glowing
His sweetness, charming
His passion, convincing
How to be closer to him than I already am?

His tenderness, pleasing
His values, inspiring
His character, discerning
His personality, intriguing
During these quiet moments, he makes my day..

I Miss...

2006-03-27T23:06:00.000+08:00

I miss the LRT
The crowd, the heat, the inconvenience during peak hours. Of course, the occassionally 'bau tilam' smell. But most of all, the climbing up the stairs at the stations.

I miss Bang Din
The morning express and efficient service of telur setengah masak and his nasi goreng kampung. Wow!

I miss ISO
Hmm... I don't know why but I think I miss his voice. The sound of his voice, that is. And his grin... and his stare...

I miss the lift thrill
Yup! The lift. Everytime when the 'ting' sound, I'd look at the display, hoping it doesn't stop at the 1st floor! ahahhahaha....!!!

You know the outcome of this entry right?
I MISS YOU ALL!

Amigos Para Siempre

2006-03-27T22:42:00.000+08:00

It's been quite a while huh? It's soooo goood to be back. Thanks Pootz for inviting me!! It's funny though... i am the one who started this whole thing and I am the one who lost the username, the password. Some confusion in my brain.

So let's see. Our first post in here was on 23rd April 2005! Wow! How time flies! Today last year, I don't even know what blog means. I guess a lot have changed huh.

So anyway, today I am writing just to say I miss this blog so much! Thanks for Lampin and Pootz for keeping this blog alive. I'll try my best to keep it going too. For others, come on, join in. Keep on posting!

The important question is.. shall we make 23rd April as the official K-Oz day? What say you? And I really hope the next gathering there will be a complete quorum so that finally we can take a proper photo of the K-Ozzies!

Okie.. till next time.

Amigos Para Siempre.

Much love!

Now and Then

2006-03-27T19:52:00.000+08:00

Forever and ever

You'll stay in my heart and

I will love you

Forever and ever

We never will part

Oh how I'll love you

Together forever

That's how it must be

To live without you

Would only be heartbreak for me

It Has Been A Year!!

2006-03-27T18:18:00.000+08:00

Hello fellow K-Ozies!!
It has been a year and Najwa Aiman has produced another novel. This time I gave him a good preview and I think even he couldn't believe me himself.... well, I may be a bit generous as I am now having this maternal glow with a 17 week old baby inside my belly!!!
So, how's everyone....? latest update, only 5 are left (you may call us idiots, but this is where our rezeki is promised). Moon has resigned from his latest job, Lampin is happily working for another company, so are Sam and Syir.... Carebear is seriously considering leaving her current job.. hang in there my friend!! Emm is also following my footsteps of producing another baby....
On this end, Dubuk is still demure and enigmatic (not that we care). And yes, Shaff (who has yet to post anything here after a year) is also expecting another new addition to the family. Hmmm... baby boom this year!!! G-String is still well... stringy, Queen Amidala is as alaways still a Diva....
Our first Saturday breakfast went on for the first 2 months of 2006... didn't work... but our first reunion of 2006 was a success (thanks to Emm's sponsorship) where everybody except Sam and G-String, turn up and later some went for a karaoke session at the usual joint..... had fun (Lampin - Asalkan Kau Tidak Menjadi Penjahat Lagi!!)
I sincerely miss you lot!!
Keep visiting the blog and those who can write in, please do so!!!! Keep this blog alive!!!

Eleven Forever

2006-03-15T22:07:00.000+08:00

Used to be eleven
those happy times
and happiness still shines
in your hearts and mine

And five are still together
each other within sights
and the rest are always near
sharing emotions forever

Respect Your Friends

2005-10-18T23:24:00.000+08:00

Friendship is about respecting your friends. Respect what they like and dislike. True. Very true. He who treats others with disrespect does not deserve to be called a friend. It's a relationship that demands one to respect others. It's just like a relationship between a boss and a staff, a father and his son, an elderly and a teenager.

The only difference is that in a friendship, the respect is also coupled with the attempt to accept the others as what they are. That's what makes friendship a special relationship compared to others.

If such acceptance is not present, it's not friendship, and the odd one out should remain to be out.

I concur... and I comply accordingly....

It's Not Easy

2005-09-20T23:17:00.000+08:00

It's not easy
to say no
when you didn't mean so

It's not easy
to say goodbye
and not cry

It's not easy
to not love you
and you know
that it's true

Merely Sentiment

2005-09-16T01:08:00.000+08:00

Doing new things in a new environment gives new experience. I've never done this before but I'm doing it now. It has been so many years that I was asked to do it, but I finally decided to go for it just a few weeks back.

So, how does it feel like? My friend was right about one thing - the things we normally dislike to do are those things we haven't even done yet! So it's just sentiment, as he puts it.

Yes, I do like what I'm doing now - for the moment. I hope this feeling lasts.

And do I miss my home?

Ermm....

That Bau Tilam Smell

2005-08-22T09:55:00.000+08:00

I had to take the LRT early again this morning because of some urgent documents that needed urgent attention. So I guess I just took the LRT. It was Monday Morning and everybody seemed to want to be early in the office. The LRT was packed like the very nostalgic mini bus. Before boarding the LRT I was almost praying not to let men surround me in the crowded and packed train. God knows where their eyes and hands would land upon.

Thank God I was surrounded but ladies. But then – yiekhh! That smell. The smell that my hostel boy friends used to term as “bau tilam”. The “mattress smell”. You know, that smell almost everybody emits when they wake up every morning. So the only way to get rid of such smell is to take a simple shower – with soap of course. Then the smell is gone, and you can continue with your life – whatever that will be – as usual.

But I simply cannot accept that there are still women in such a tropical climate country like ours who do not take their showers in the morning. They just rise out of bed, change their clothes and jumped onto a packed and crowded LRT. They don’t even have the courtesy to respect other people’s scent-perceptive-receiver-device (a.k.a. nose) which are still functioning perfectly and efficiently! So efficient that the device can actually still differentiate between pleasant and ghastly despicable aroma. If they are not meticulous and be bothered about their own personal grooming (not to mention hygiene), then please be sensitive to others. I had to stand behind this executive-attired lady complete with blazers, but the aroma emanated from her body was even worse than that discharged from a cadaver! Uwwweekkk…!!!

Come on women! Being equal to men doesn’t have to mean that we should also smell like them! Clean yourselves up!

"Friends are Forever"

2005-08-08T18:01:00.000+08:00

I didn't realize it at first, but now when everytime I entered the L&C Department, I remembered that I used to have that urge to hug this lady who used to be just beside that big pillar. She would always be the one who actually looked at me every time I entered L&C. She would always be the one who would give me that cooling looks, melting away all of my stress that I was thriving to get rid of. She only needed to give me that look, that usual stare, and I would feel relieved immediately. Why so? Because she never, never, never failed to accompany that look with a smile!

She's no longer there, though, and now I realized that I've lost what I've taken for granted all these while - her existence!

I don't know what to write. I don't know how to write. But I know good words when i found one. And here they are, extracted from th einternet, just for you, Jan:

Friends are forever,
Friends are for real.
Friends are for expressing,
All the emotions we try to hide, but feel.
Friends are the flowers,
which line the river's edge.
They are for sharing, and for caring,
and for the shields they place around us, like a hedge.
Friends are for leaning on,
They are for helping, and comforting, too.
It would take forever,
to describe all that they are,
and true ones, are scattered and few.
I am truly blessed in every way,
and I thank the Lord on every day,
because I have such a good Friend in YOU!

Dream A Little Dream Of Me

2005-08-05T17:04:00.000+08:00

Kelly Clarkson sang “I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly…I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky…I'll make a wish…Take a chance… Make a change…And breakaway… Out of the darkness and into the sun… But I won't forget all the ones that I loved... I'll take a risk…Take a chance… Make a change…and breakaway”

That’s what I intended to do. I want to take a chance, and I want to make a change. I am doing this for myself, my career and for everybody around me. Its time for me to go on, trying a new place, a new pace in life. In order to go forward, I need to make changes, and including leaving those I love behind. Please don’t say goodbye, my friends because this is not the end. This is just me, going on to another chapter in my book of life. I will never forget all of you. I am sure we’ll still be together. And I want to have all of you in the next chapters of my life. You have been with me, guiding me, helping me, crying and laughing with me all this while and I will forever be grateful to all of you. Thank you for being my friends. And I wish you all the best. And this is not the end of our friendship. Love ya!

Being me, tak sah la takde lagu kan? Hehehehe so, please, sing along to this song (uhmm kalau tau la). Gonna miss you guys, a lot!!!

Dream A Little Dream Of Me – Louis Armstrong

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper I love you
Birds singin’ in the sycamore trees
Dream a little dream of me

Say nighty-night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you’ll miss me
While I’m alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I’m longin’ to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars shining up above you
Night breezes seem to whisper I love you
Birds singin’ in the sycamore trees
Dream a little dream of me

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

Yes, dream a little dream of me

Hehehehheeh love u guys!

Sememangnya sesetangah manusia bersifat fighter kan? Dalam keadaan diserang bertubi-tubi, mereka akan bangun melawan. Dan biasanya golongan camni akan melawan dengan apa juga cara - baik, buruk, halal, haram - mereka tak kira. Yang penting mereka mau menang, tak gitu?

Dan kerana tak kira cara berperang ni lah, mereka sanggup membiarkan orang lain menderita. Bawak lari ke semuanya. Satu pun tak ditinggalkan. Maka yang tinggal akan merana dan menderita, kan?
Lalu haruskah disokong mereka yang sebegini ya? Bajingan korporat (please excuse my Italian.. dah lama tak praktis...)? Dan orang yang menyokong mereka? Anjing korporat(please excuse my French pulak...hehehe....).

Tapi kan.... lebih rela jadi kuda daripada jadi anjing.......

Syarikat kedekut ibarat 'lembu suci'

2005-07-23T11:44:00.000+08:00

Berita Harian- 230705

PENYOKONG usul ekonomi, Ahmad Shabery Cheek melabelkan individu dan syarikat korporat yang diberi peluang oleh kerajaan tetapi enggan mengagihkan keuntungannya kepada Umno sebagai 'sacred cow' atau lembu suci.
Wakil Umno Terengganu itu berkata, golongan itu tidak ubah sebagai 'lembu suci' yang diberi makan bukan untuk mendapatkan hasil tetapi hanya mahu disembah dan dipuja.
"Individu dan syarikat yang digelar lembu suci ini mendapat saja apa mereka minta tetapi apa saja salah laku yang dibuat tiada tindakan diambil," katanya yang mendapat sorakan dan tepukan gemuruh perwakilan.
Dengan memberi contoh Penerbangan Malaysia (MAS) dan Renong Bhd, katanya, syarikat berkenaan dibantu dengan harapan mereka akan memulangkan keuntungan kepada orang Melayu dan membantu usahawan kecil.
Bagaimanapun, katanya satu demi satu syarikat dan individu yang diberi amanah itu memperlihatkan prestasi buruk. Beliau berkata, ketirisan sebenarnya berlaku di kalangan syarikat korporat yang ada modal berbilion-bilion ringgit bukannya di kalangan kontraktor kelas F.
Malah, katanya baru-baru ini, Jawatankuasa Kira-Kira Awam (PAC) menyifatkan projek penswastaan limbungan kapal Tentera Laut Diraja Malaysia (TLDM) di Lumut gagal walaupun mendapat kontrak terjamin bernilai RM25 bilion.
Ahmad Shabery turut menyentuh permit import (AP) dan meminta Menteri Perdagangan Antarabangsa dan Industri, Datuk Seri Rafidah Aziz menjawab segala persoalan mengenai keistimewaan individu yang layak mendapatkannya.
"Kita mohon Kak Dah... bukannya hendak mempertikaikan kementerian beliau atau beliau sendiri tetapi menjadi harapan kita untuk mendengar jawapannya," katanya.
Ahmad Shabery yang juga Ahli Parlimen Kemaman turut menyatakan sokongan kepada presiden parti dalam tindakan berkaitan soal integriti. "Pak Lah bertindaklah, kami semua akan sokong... ini kerajaan Pak Lah bukan kerajaan lain kerajaan yang sudah diberi mandat... kerajaan Pak Lah kerajaan bumi bukan kerajaan langit,
"Kerajaan bumi mesti berpijak di alam nyata... kalau perlu buat rombakan kerajaan, rombaklah Pak Lah, kami semua akan sokong," katanya.

Living On Credit

2005-07-21T13:44:00.000+08:00

Extracts from Rocky Bru's
IT’S not how much you earn, but how much you owe, Ted Turner once said. By 1986, he had US$2 billion (RM7.6 billion) in debt (more than some small Third World countries, he proudly admitted), largely due to his ambitious acquisition of MGM. He became one of the most powerful corporate figures in the world.
In the same demented way, some countries become powerful because of the size of their debts. The United States is the biggest debtor nation in the world. In Turner’s book, the US should rule Earth. And the US, we all know, does.What does it mean? It means that huge debts, which used to be a liability, are now a strategy. The theory, that if you can’t repay your RM100,000 loan, you’re in trouble, but if it ’s RM100 million, your banks are in trouble, still applies.I belong to the RM100,000 category, the wage-earners who contribute towards the economy of this country by working hard to ensure that our relatively meagre bank borrowings don’t turn into bad debts.Most of the time, this is not an issue. But there are always occasions when someone from this bank or that finance company calls to remind you that you are “a little behind” in repaying your loans. It could be your loans for the home, car, motorcycle, insurance or credit cards.But you manage, somehow, most times. The times that you don’t, you get into trouble faster than you think. Your friendly lenders send debt collectors or repossessors. Some people try to save their cars and homes by going to the Ah Long. It can be a start of a vicious cycle, which doesn’t end until you lose everything, including your dignity. Some people take more extreme shortcuts to end their debt woes. The other day some of us wage-earners were discussing how much we owe. It was a depressing exercise. All of us borrowed to buy our homes and cars (and motorcycles, too, for some of us).For the roof over our heads, we are all repaying until we reach 55. I have five years to go on the Sorento, which is about the same as the others had on their rides. All of us own one credit card, at least, although several have up to three. All owe the credit card companies something substantial (between RM3,000 and RM15,000). One guy has destroyed his card so that he can’t use it anymore, and he reckons it would take three years to repay the amount he owes (plus interest) if he manages to pay the minimum amount every month.At the end of the discussion, I concluded that we are a borrowing society. Which does not make us special, of course: citizens of other countries face the same problem, too.I believe our problem is going to worsen unless we start addressing certain issues and/or regulate the way business is conducted in some sectors. The credit card is an obvious problem area. When I was just starting out, you had to qualify for a credit card (you had to prove that you earn a certain sum in a year).These days, if you can sign your name and remember your identity card number, you are eligible. On one hand, it ’s great: you have access to credit. On the other hand, most new entrants to the job market will end up working to pay the interest on their credit card debts.People in the kampungs have enjoyed credit facilities from shopkeepers since before most of us were born. It’s a proven rural financing sytem. But I discovered the other day that the interest charged for some of these easy payment schemes can be extortionate.Someone bought a Malaysian-made small-engined motorcycle on a hefty 10 per cent annual interest rate. Some finance companies are allowing you to stretch the repayment scheme for your car to nine years. We all have been taught not to be tempted to own what we can’t possibly afford.But with such generous terms from lenders, including banks and finance companies, more and more Malaysians will not realise they are living beyond their means. Which cannot be good for the economy.
Renung renungkan lah sahabat2 ku...

Akademi Fantasia

2005-07-20T09:25:00.000+08:00

Terpanggil hendak menulis sedikit tentang Akademi Fantasia apabila rakan-rakan menyebut tentangnya dalam posting. Aku pun sebenarnya bukanlah peminat AF. Namun menontonnya pernah sekali-sekala apabila tak sengaja kerana kebetulan ketika itu aku berada di hadapan TV bersama famili.

Tetapi mungkin sebab aku tak berapa gemar menonton rancangan nyanyian seumpama itu (seperti juga Juara Lagu, Bintang RTM dan yang seumpama dengannya), maka aku takkan kekal lama di hadapan TV. Dan juga mungkin kerana itulah AF tidak menarik minat aku untuk diikuti.

Namun aku sedar betapa besarnya pengaruh AF terhadap masyarakat Malaysia amnya, dan orang Melayu khususnya. Aku pernah menonton AF3 di TV semasa ia diadakan di Putrajaya (dan bukan di Malawati seperti biasa) di mana ia dibuka kepada umum. Aku juga pernah terperangkap dalam kesesakan di PJ State tahun lepas semasa AF2 diadakan di Dewan Sivik. (Satu kejutan juga kepada aku sebenarnya kerana PJ State sebelum ini tidak pernah sesak sedemikian pada waktu malam). Sememangnya umat Melayu memang ramai yang menjadi fans kepada rancangan ini.

Aku juga sedar betapa banyaknya keuntungan yang telah dikaut oleh Ananda Krishnan melalui Maxis akibat dari AFUNDI. Ini mungkin melayakkan kakitangan mereka mendapat bonus yang melambung-lambung (sepatutnyalah!). Tidakkah ini bagus untuk mereka?

Aku juga sedar betapa ramai anak Melayu, dari pelbagai peringkat umur termasuk yang sudah tua, dapat disatukan bersama disebabkan oleh AF ini. Kalau dahulu sukar benar hendak mengumpulkan ahli keluarga dari pelbagai lapisan usia untuk duduk di hadapan TV pada masa yang sama, namun sekarang AF telah berjaya merapatkan jurang tersebut! Tidakkah ini bagus untuk mereka?

Aku juga sedar betapa lebih ramai anak watan sekarang yang sudah terbuka peluang untuk mereka berdikari dan membuat duit yang lumayan dengan menjadi artis rakaman, DJ radio bahkan MC majlis. Semua ini terhasil dari pendidikan mereka di Akademi Fantasia. Tidakkah ini bagus untuk mereka?

Aku juga sedar betapa peluang untuk menambah pendapatan juga telah terbuka kepada kakitangan pengajar di Akademi Fantasia itu sendiri (seperti Cikgu Adnan, Cikgu Siti Hajar dan lain-lain). Ini juga membuka peluang kepada mereka untuk menjadi lebih tersohor di mata masyarakat dan membuka peluang perniagaan untuk diri mereka sendiri pula (misalnya, Cikgu Yasmin - walaupun tidak tepat untuk mengatakan bahawa AF menjadi penyebab utama baginya membuka kelas tarian persendirian, tetapi AF secara tidak langsung telah membantu memperkenalkan dirinya dan mengangkat kredibilitinya untuk menjalankan perniagaan tersebut). Tidakkah ini bagus untuk mereka?

Justeru mungkin ada banyak lagi kebaikan yang boleh disenaraikan natijah dari AF ini.
Namun pandangan Pak Ungku juga tidak boleh diambil ringan. Walaupun benar AF melalaikan, tetapi AF bukan satu-satunya perkara yang melalaikan.

Tanpa AF pun sebelum ini kita sudah mampu dilalaikan dengan pelbagai benda lain. Kewujudan AF sekadar menambah faktor kelalaian tersebut. Tetapi di sebalik kelalaian yang diakibatkannya, ia juga menambah beberapa kebaikan seperti yang disebutkan di atas. Yang paling penting sudah tentulah kemampuan AF untuk menyatukan ahli keluarga untuk melakukan aktiviti bersama, dan juga berinteraksi secara lebih sihat (biasanya penonton akan saling memberi pandangan dan komen/kritikan tentang pelajar yang membuat persembahan - ini bagus sebagai aktiviti bertukar pendapat sesama ahli keluarga).

Apa-apa hal pun, aku percaya, setiap sesuatu itu akan jadi elok kalau dielokkan, dan akan buruk kalau diburukkan, melainkan ia telah dihukumkan buruk sejak awal lagi (misalnya, arak tetap buruk walaupun ia boleh digunakan sebagai painkiller).
Tetapi itu tidak bermakna kita harus melupakan terus akan keburukan yang diakibatkannya....

Kekayaan hakiki - Keserhanaan hidup Rasulullah

2005-07-20T09:21:00.000+08:00

(Berita Harian 190705)

KEHIDUPAN Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. sangat sederhana. Pada suatu hari Baginda sedang berehat di rumahnya sambil berbaring di atas tikar yang diperbuat daripada daun-daun tamar.
Tiba-tiba, seorang sahabatnya yang bernama Ibn Mas`ud datang menziarahi Baginda.
Oleh kerana pada masa itu Rasulullah tidak memakai baju, maka Ibn Mas`ud melihat bekas anyaman tikar itu melekat di tubuh Baginda.
Melihat keadaan yang demikian, Ibn Mas`ud bersedih dan menitiskan air mata. Beliau berkata di dalam hatinya: Tidak patut seorang kekasih Allah, seorang pemimpin negara dan seorang panglima tentera hidup dengan cara demikian.
Ibn Mas`ud pun berkata: ``Ya Rasulullah, bolehkah saya membawakan tilam ke sini untuk Tuan?''
Rasulullah menjawab, ``Wahai Ibn Mas`ud, apalah erti kesenangan hidup di dunia ini bagiku.
``Hidup di dunia ini bagiku bagaikan seorang musafir dalam perjalanan jauh, lalu dia singgah sebentar berteduh di bawah pohon kayu yang rendang untuk berehat.
``Kemudian dia harus berangkat meninggalkan tempat itu untuk meneruskan perjalanan yang sangat jauh dan tidak berpenghujung.''
Dalam suatu peristiwa lain pula, ialah ketika Rasulullah menikahkan puterinya, Fatimah dengan Ali bin Abi Talib.
Pada masa itu Baginda menjemput Abu Bakar, Umar dan Usamah untuk membawakan `persiapan' Fatimah.
Mereka tertanya-tanya apakah yang disiapkan oleh Rasulullah untuk puteri tercinta dan menantunya yang tersayang itu?
Ternyata, Rasulullah hanya menyiapkan gandum yang telah digiling, kulit binatang yang disamak, cerek dan sebiji pinggan.
Apabila mengetahui hal itu, Abu bakar menangis.
``Ya, Rasulullah, hanya inikah persiapan untuk Fatimah?'' tanya Abu Bakar tersedu-sedan.
``Ini sudah cukup bagi orang yang berada di dunia,'' jawab Rasulullah menenangkannya.
Kemudian Fatimah keluar dari rumah dengan memakai pakaian pengantin yang cukup bagus, tetapi mempunyai 12 tampalan! Tiada perhiasan yang berharga mahal.
Setelah bernikah, Fatimah sentiasa menggiling gandum, membaca al-Quran, mentafsirkan kitab suci dengan hatinya, dan menangis. Itulah sebahagian daripada kemuliaan diri Fatimah.
Majlis pernikahan puteri Rasulullah itu memang sederhana kerana kesederhanaan adalah sebahagian kehidupan Rasulullah sendiri.
Sebenarnya, Baginda mampu membuat majlis besar-besaran untuk pernikahan puterinya itu dengan meminta bantuan para sahabat yang kaya.
Namun, sebagai manusia agung, `kemegahan' tidaklah bermakna kebendaan.
Rasulullah ingin menunjukkan kesederhanaan dan sifat qanaah (puas hati), yang merupakan kekayaan yang hakiki.
Baginda pernah bersabda: ``Kekayaan yang hakiki adalah kekayaan iman dan dicerminkan dalam sifat qanaah.''
Bersifat qanaah bererti menerima ketentuan Allah dengan sabar, dan menarik diri daripada kecintaan kepada dunia.
Iman, kesederhanaan dan qanaah adalah sesuatu yang tidak boleh dipisahkan.
Seorang mukmin akan bersikap sederhana dalam hidupnya, dan kesedehanaan itu ditunjukkan daripada sifat qanaahnya.
Rasulullah s.a.w. bersabda: ``Qanaah adalah harta yang tidak akan hilang dan simpanan yang tidak akan lenyap.''

Privatisation failure’
Jaspal Singh LUMUT, July 15:
The Public Accounts Committee’s verdict on the eight-year privatisation of PSC Naval Dockyard Sdn Bhd is in: the exercise was a gross failure.
Committee chairman Datuk Shahrir Samad said the Government should use any means possible to rescue the ailing dockyard and corporatise it.He also wants the Government to investigate the possibility of criminal breach of trust among senior officials of the company which could have taken operations to such depths of failure. Shahrir said the company’s principal problem was its inability to deliver two high-tech offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) to the navy on time. "The navy, dockyard workers and the contractors/suppliers are definitely not happy with the current leadership and management of the dockyard."Its situation andcondition today expressly shows that the privatisation failed. It is time for the Government to step in and de-privatise the dockyard to revive confidence by all concerned parties," he said after a visit to the dockyard with several committee members today.Shahrir said the company could have been financially viable today had it been prudent and wise in managing the Government contract of more than RM5 billion for six OPVs.But due to late delivery, the Government had to spend an extra RM140 million to keep to the RM1.8 billion price tag agreed upon in 1998.OPVs I and II were supposed to have been delivered to the navy last year but technical problems delayed the handover to this September.Work on the first two OPVs is about 95 per cent complete, OPV III and IV: almost 50 per cent, and OPV V and V1: less than 10 per cent.Shahrir said the eight-year dockyard episode was "a lesson for the Government to be more careful where costly expenditure is concerned".Shahrir said the failure had nothing to do with the competence of dockyard workers or the lower and middle management.The Government had also awarded the company a contract to build 21 more OPVs estimated at more than RM18 billion.Other members of the committee present included deputy chairman Dr Tan Seng Giaw, Datuk Liow Tiong Lai and M. Kulasegaran.

Projek limbungan TLDM gagal

2005-07-16T09:53:00.000+08:00

Berita Harian 16 July 2005

Oleh Jalal Ali Abdul Rahim

LUMUT: Jawatankuasa Kira-kira Wang Negara (PAC) menyifatkan projek penswastaan limbungan kapal Tentera Laut Diraja Malaysia (TLDM) kepada PSC-Naval Dockyard Sdn Bhd (PSC-ND), gagal dan mahu kerajaan mengambil alih pengurusannya.Pengerusinya, Datuk Shahrir Samad, berkata PAC mendapati pengurusan dan kepemimpinan PSC-ND amat lemah hingga menyebabkan projek pembinaan kapal peronda (PV) generasi baru TLDM bermasalah kerana beban hutang kepada kontraktor, pembekal dan vendor tempatan yang jumlahnya mencecah RM80 juta.Beliau berkata, kesimpulan itu dibuat selepas ahli PAC mendengar taklimat Unit Perancang Ekonomi (EPU) mengenai penswastaan Naval Dockyard Sdn Bhd (NDSB) pada harga RM300 juta sebelum dinamakan sebagai PSC-ND serta taklimat TLDM mengenai kesan selepas penswastaan itu dan pihak Kesatuan Sekerja PSC-ND.“TLDM tidak berpuas hati dengan khidmat diberikan limbungan selepas penswastaan manakala kesatuan sekerja mengakui penswastaan tidak mencapai matlamat.“Hasil taklimat ketiga-tiga pihak, PAC membuat kesimpulan penswastaan limbungan ini gagal. Kita meminta kepada Kementerian Kewangan, EPU dan Kementerian Pertahanan melihat kepada pilihan yang ada pada kerajaan untuk menamatkan penswastaan ini,” katanya pada sidang akhbar selepas mengetuai sekumpulan ahli PAC mendengar taklimat dan melawat limbungan itu, semalam.Ahli PAC lain yang bersamanya termasuk Timbalan Pengerusi PAC, Dr Tan Seng Giaw, Datuk Liow Tiong Lai dan M Kulasegaran.PSC-ND diberi kontrak bagi membina 27 PV dengan pesanan pertama enam kapal bernilai RM5.4 bilion. Bagaimanapun, PVI dan PV2 yang sepatutnya diserahkan tahun lalu, belum dapat digunakan TLDM kerana masalah teknikal.Shahrir berkata, pilihan yang PAC mahu kerajaan lihat adalah:l Mengkaji berapakah kos diperlukan kerajaan untuk mengambil alih limbungan itu berdasarkan formula perjanjian penswastaan.l Menetapkan satu badan bebas bagi menyiasat dan membuat penilaian keadaan limbungan sepanjang diswastakan.l Penyelesaian kepada syarikat PSC-ND, melalui pemegang saham mereka dan kerajaan mempunyai saham dan boleh menstabilkan keadaan dan menguruskannya dengan cara baik.PAC juga mahu kerajaan menyiasat kes itu dan mendakwa jika berlaku penyelewengan.“Kita sudah arahkan kerajaan jika ada kes jenayah seperti pecah amanah dan penyelewengan, kami mahu pihak kerajaan tidak bertolak ansur,” katanya.Ditanya punca kegagalan penswastaan limbungan itu, Shahrir berkata: “Sikap tamak, kelemahan pengurusan dan kepimpinan atasan syarikat.”Beliau berkata, projek itu berdaya maju jika pengurusan baik dan berhemah kerana mereka diberi jaminan projek antara RM100 dan RM110 juta setiap tahun.“Saya rasa kegagalannya kerana sifat tamak. Bila dia (syarikat baru) dah bayar RM300 juta, dia sudah dijanjikan kontrak RM5 bilion jangka pendek dan RM25 bilion bagi jangka panjang.“Dia tengok, saya akan jadi orang kaya, dia `makan cepat-cepat', dia tidak fikir ini tanggungjawab yang berat yang patut dilaksanakan sebaik mungkin,” katanya.Shahrir berkata, Kementerian Kewangan dan Kementerian Pertahanan perlu mencari jalan mendapatkan peruntukan tambahan bagi ‘menyelamatkan' PV1 dan PV2 yang mencapai tahap 95 peratus penyiapannya bagi membolehkannya diserahkan kepada TLDM.

Bertekak

2005-07-16T08:30:00.000+08:00

Aku tak suka bertekak. Aku benci sangat! Aku tak kisah orang berdebat. Aku suka dengar orang berdebat, terutamanya dalam majlis tak rasmi. Tapi tolonglah jangan bertekak! tolong... aku rayu sangat...

Apa bezanya ya? Ada bezanya. Bezanya dalam berdebat kita kemukakan hujah, kan? Hujah yang logik. Yang berasas. Yang ilmiah, kan? Aku percaya dalam perdebatan, semua pihak yang berdebat maukan objektif yang sama - resolusi. Betul kan?Tapi bertekak ni lain. Lain sangat. Bertekak ni sekadar melepaskan marah. Berkelahi ya? Berselisih pendapat kan? Keluarkan pendapat ikut rasa semata-mata. Dan objektif masih sama tapi berbeza. Bagaimana ya? Objektif yang sama tapi bercanggahan antara semua pihak yang terlibat. Macam mana tu? Semua pihak nakkan pihak dia yang menang. Itu la objektifnya, kan? Kemenangan untuk pihak masing-masing. Tapi takkan semua pihak boleh menang pada masa yang sama ya? Sampai bila-bila pun takkan ada yang menang, kan?Aku sedih kalau sahabat aku bertekak.... sedih sangat...

Jangan Menipu

2005-07-13T09:37:00.000+08:00

Suka ya menipu? Nak lepaskan diri yang dah cornered, maka carilah scapegoat. Siapa yang sudi maka dialah kambingnya. Kambing bersifat apa ya? Tak mandi. Busuk. Tak sekolah. Bodoh. Mengembek dalam nada yang sama walau dalam apa keadaan pun. Sudi jadi kambing? Dah tentu mereka yang tak sekolah saja yang sudi.

Untuk lepaskan sesak pun orang akan menipu. Tipu dokumen. Tipu orang lain. Tipu kerajaan. Tipu penyamun. Orangyang bersekongkol pulak? Kambingkah mereka? Kalau mereka bersekongkol dengan menjadi scapegoat, maka kambinglah. Kalau mereka bersekongkol dengan membantu, apa pulak ya? Kalau perpetrator yang membuat, accomplice la jadinya mereka tu. Subahat. Sama saja status dan standardnya dengan penjenayah tu sendiri.

Yang tak bersekongkol tapi mengetahui penipuan tu berlaku pulak? Haruskah bertindak? Serupa tak dengan seseorang yang nampak bom dipasang pada sebuah keretapi, tetapi tak buat apa-apa pun. Malah dia sendiri pun naik keretapi yang sama.

Mungkin letupan tu akan membunuh semua penumpang tak berdosa yang ada di dalam keretapi. Mungkin serpihan letupannya akan mencedera malah membunuh manusia yang berkampung di pinggir landasan keretapi. Mungkin orang yang tahu kewujudan bom itu tidak dikesali oleh sesiapa akan matinya. Tetapi bagaimana dengan penumpang yang lain? Orang kampung di tepi landasan?

Sanggupkah menghadapi ke semua mereka dan waris-waris mereka di akhirat kelak?

Those were the days! Such happy times. The team was good. The environment was good. The money was good. Everything was good. And most importantly... everybody was a good friend to each other.

Now only true friends remain friends. Other things have changed. Those were the days. Now are the days.

A Song That Makes My Day

2005-07-04T11:57:00.000+08:00

I feel so lucky loving her
Tell me, what else is magic for?
She thinks it's better left unsaid
She makes her mind up at a glance
It really made a difference
I seem to be unconditionally hers.

She's like a new girl every day
And all the rest don't bother me
I'm far too busy loving her..

I'll never be lonely now I know her
She fills my heart with joy
She makes my day
She just has to smile to blow my cares away
She just has to touch my hand to make me stay
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once

Our love was unintentional
She says we're not responsible
She thinks with her chin up
She always makes uncommon sense
Always knows just what to say
She always takes me unawares.

In less time than it takes to fall
I'm here and there you are.
We never fought in any way

I feel so lucky loving her
Tell me, what else is magic for?
She thinks it's better left unsaid.
She makes her mind up at a glance
It really made a difference
I seem to be unconditionally hers

She's like a new girl every day
And all the rest don't bother me
I'm far too busy loving her...

She's all good lovin' at once.

Kuda....kopi satu

2005-07-02T10:06:00.000+08:00

Si Poyo haus dia nak minum kopi, so dia pun nak suruhlah kuda-kuda dia buat kopi. Poyo pun cakap kat kuda A, ko buatkan aku kopi segelas, aku nak minum panas-panas, buat sekarang. Lepas tu kuda B lalu depan si Poyo. Si Poyo pun cakap.....ehh B, kau buatkan aku air kopi satu gelas, aku nak minum masa tengah panas-panas, kau buat sekarang. Lepas tu datang pulak kuda C (yang sebenarnya nak jumpa si Poyo pasal nak tanya benda lain) si Poyo pun cakap kat kuda C, emm...C, kau buatkan aku air kopi satu gelas, aku nak minum masa tengah panas-panas, kau buat sekarang. Pas tu Poyo pun nak pergi bilik air, terserempak dengan kuda D, Poyo pun cakap kat D,..D, kau buatkan aku air kopi satu gelas, aku nak minum masa tengah panas-panas, kau buat sekarang. Lepas tu si Poyo keluar dari bilik air dia terserempak dengan si E, Poyo pun cakap dengan E, E..kau buatkan aku air kopi satu gelas, aku nak minum masa tengah panas-panas, kau buat sekarang. So si kuda A,B,C,D dan E pun masing2 buatlah kopi. Tapi depa semua tak tahu yang masing2 dapat same instruction dari si Poyo.

Bila kopi2 tu semua dah siap, maka sekor2 kuda pun masuklah bilik si Poyo sebab nak bagi kopi yang depa dah buat tadi, sekor2 cakap dgn si Poyo 'ni kopi yg tuan nak tadi'. Sekali Poyo tengok kopi sampai 5 gelas daa...pas tu Poyo cakap kat depa..tak pe hang letak kat atas meja. Pas tu si Poyo terus blah, segelas kopi pun dia tak minum. 2 hari lepas tu barulah si Poyo ni masuk balik ke bilik dia, pas tu dia tengok ada 5 gelas kopi kat atas meja dia, then baru dia teringat 2 hari lepas dia ada suruh kuda2 buat kopi...so dia pun minumlah kopi tu satu per satu. Bila dia minum je..dia rasa kopi tu dah sejuk..Poyo pun cakap..'cis aku nak kopi panas, ni kopi sejuk'. Dia rasa gelas lagi satu 'ni pun sejuk'. Dia rasa yang lelain pun semua dah sejuk.

Pas tu si Poyo pun panggil semua kuda2 masuk miting. Dia pun cakap, aku suruh hang buat kopi panas bukan kopi sejuk. Salah satu kuda pun cakap, 'tapi tuan...kopi tu dah 2 hari kami buat, so memanglah dah sejuk.'

Baghal ekk si Poyo ni.

Sabar

Beginikah derita
Hai nasib pekerja kat sini
Bulan dah bertukar
Masih belum dapat gaji
Camane
Nak pergi joli
Apakan daya
Berhutang ceti
Duit kereta
Blom bayar lagi
Minggu depan
Aku jalan kaki

Di mana keadilan
Yang aku harap-harapkan
Tokey masih jutawan
Aku anak beranak
Kebulur tak makan
Disuruh kerja
Sampai pukul sembilan
Sedangkan gaji
Tak mampu lunaskan
Inikah
Yang dipanggil insan
Atau sebenarnya
Dialah syaitan

Mengapakah tak ada
Rasa malu pada kita
Dikerahnya bekerja
Sedangkan gaji
Tak bayar juga
Dah hilang
Rasa percaya
Kini dah rasa
Menyampah pula
Kalau tunggu
Lebih lama
Nyampah bertukar
Jadi benci pula

The Look Of Love

Remember me, remember this song. Love you, my friends!

The Look Of Love – Diana Krall

The look of love
Is in your eyes
The look your smile can't disguise
The look of love
Is saying so much more
Than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard
Well it takes my breath away

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you

You've got the look of love
It's in your face
A look that time can't erase

Be mine tonight
Let this be just the start
Of so many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow
And then seal it with a kiss

Don't ever go
Don't ever go
I love you so

The Choice

2005-06-29T09:46:00.000+08:00

Somebody sent me an email with the following article. I find the article so intriguing and should be shared with others. I'm so sorry I don't know who originally wrote this, but whoever that person is, let me tell you this: THIS IS GOOD!

"EVERY moment in life, we are faced with a choice. Which should command our preference - the demands of our job or the duties to our family?

If there is a board meeting today at the same hours that our son graduates from school, where should we go - to the boardroom or to the graduation ceremony?

If we have to make a very important presentation tomorrow, so as to advance our career, but our wife says she has to see the doctor on a suspicion of cancer, which appointment should we keep?

These are the daily battles of conscience we have to wage, trying to keep a balance between our responsibility to earn a living and our opportunity to live a life. And our choices invariably reveal who we really are.

Our preferences indicate our true character. Our priorities are the best indicators of our real identity.

What profits success?

I know that many of you out there would go for career on the pretension that after all, you are doing all these for the family.

Many of you, dear readers, would rather become outstanding employees, model personnel instead of being doting fathers or loving husbands.

Many of you would opt to perform exceedingly well in the office even if you work 12 to 16 hours a day, going home only to change clothes or catch a few hours of sleep. But what for? At the end of the day, what have you accomplished?

What profits a highly successful professional or wealthy businessman if ultimately, he loses his family, wrecks his marriage or dishonors the name he will leave to his children?

What has a rich man accomplished if he has built a fortune and founded conglomerates of highly profitable companies and yet drives his own wife to vices or infidelity, his children to drugs and delinquency and himself to spiritual decay and total burnout?

What matters most?

Look around you. The evidence is overwhelming and irreversible. Families are shattered. Marriages are broken. Lives are reduced to utter emptiness.

Even as man advances in wealth and success, he deteriorates on the basic standards of joy, peace and serenity. As we all compete and struggle for power and possessions, we often neglect what really matters most. In our insatiable mania for supremacy over the rest, we often forget the most important things in life.

I will respect your choice. But as for me, my priorities are clear. Between career and family, I will always go for family. I can forego that board meeting and earn the ire of my boss or make a bad impression on my peers. But I shall not inflict a lifetime trauma on my son by sending him alone to graduate without his dad. I can forget that business presentation and lose a valued client or waste a career promotion, but I cannot leave my wife alone in her moments of anxiety.

Meaningless?

Why should a well-known public figure commit suicide given all his fame and fortune? Can his wealth and wisdom compensate for ruptures in his relationships?

Why should a wife of a famous politician commit adultery with the family driver? Is it lust or vain fixation for the pleasures of the flesh? Or is it the pain of being neglected and ignored by the husband she used to adore? Why should a son cut his wrist or a daughter drink poison despite all the luxuries and pleasures they are showered with?

Can money replace love?

Can pleasure take the place of affections?

In this age of top line technology and convenience gadgets, why are humans talking to computers rather than with each other?

Why are we retrenching people and replacing them with robots and machines?

Why have we lost the simple joys of nurturing relationships with bank tellers because we have replaced them with ATMs?

Why, with all our cells, e-mails, Internets, websites or the endemic texting, are we no longer communicating?

Why are family members no longer talking to each other?

The ultimate hell?

To succeed in career and fail in the family is, to me, the ultimate hell.

John Grisham, that famous author of legal fictions wrote "The Testament," which tells of a highly successful industrialist who made billions of dollars but lost his family.

In the first 10 pages of the novel, he jumped to his death from his multi-story building in front of his self-centered children. By his will, he disinherited all of them and bequeathed his entire estate to an illegitimate daughter who refused to accept it. That is the ultimate irony; those who lusted for money lost it. Those who were given all the money refused it.

In all his dozen masterpieces, Grisham tells us about the importance of family. "A Time to Kill" tells of a father who went to jail for killing his daughter's rapists.

Indeed, we who are simple folks should learn from the mistakes of others. We should straighten our lives and put our priorities in order.

I don't know about you. But as for me and my house, our credo is:
There is no success in a career that can make up for a failure in the
family."

Menghitung Hari

2005-06-27T14:41:00.000+08:00

Menghitung hari...
detik demi detik....

Macam mana rasanya kalau dah tau yang kita akan kehilangan pekerjaan dan kita tau bila tarikh keramat tu akan jatuh? Sama tak macam menunggu kematian? Definitely tak sama kan? Tapi one thing for sure maa..... persediaan harus dibuat.

Sedih kengkadang bila terpaksa handle kes-kes cenggini. Kita terfikir tentang anak isteri dan keluarga yang ditanggung oleh pekerja-pekerja organisasi tu. Tapi apa yang boleh kita buat sebenarnya? Masing-masing tertakluk pada professional ethics masing-masing. Yang hampasnya ialah professional ethincs tak semestinya tertakluk pada prinsip perikemanusiaan. Professional ethics tu by itself bermaksud memberikan perkhidmatan atas dasar dibayar kerananya. Jadi professional ethics bergantung kepada duit. Dan terbuktilah bahawa duit, materialisma tu semua ada kalanya mengenepikan unsur-unsur kemanusiaan pun.

Seharusnyakah duit menjadi lawan manusia... bukannya kawan....???

Loyalty

2005-06-22T14:11:00.000+08:00

Loyalty is what everybody wants and ironically it only exists where there is a relationship - love, marriage, friendship, patriotism, and.... employment!

But then the question is, as far as employment is concerned, to whom should loyalty be given? As far as patriotism is concerned, particualrly in a democratic country where it is ruled by a majority party, I believe loyalty is to be given to the country rather than the government. But in a company? Are we supposed to be loyal to the owner of the company?

What about a public listed company?

The owners of the company are NOT God. They're humans. They make mistakes. And worse, they have personal interests. A company consists of employers and employees. The bigger the company, the more employees they have and the lesser employers there will be in terms of ratio.

In a situation where the company is headed by ass****s and they are directing it towards detriments, what shall the employees do? Like a wagon where the employees are the horses and the driver are heading towards a deep cleft, should the horses stop although the driver did not instruct so?

Well, being horses the employees cannot make their own decision. It's just so unfortunate that the horses have idiots as drivers. But what if there are other people out there who wanted to take over the wagon from the idiots? The current idiots intend to kill the horses gradually until there will only be enough horses to feed or no horses left at all to move the wagon. The new driver may not be better, but at least it is proven that the current driver always leave the horses to starve before serving the necessary food. Because of the starvation, the horses have to utilise the food more than what has already been allocated to them. This situation cannot and must not continue.

The new driver may not be better, but they are not necessarily worse. We don't know yet, do we? How do we ever know? I guess we just have to give them a chance to mend the wagon. Only then will we know how good a driver they are.

So horses! Let's start kicking now! Kick the idiots on the wagon until they fall to the ground. Then, whoever wish so, stamp on them until they die miserably! Let's prepare the wagon for the new driver. May be if we clean the wagon properly, thenew driver will be impressed and give us better food when they begin to move the wagon toward new directions!

Good Luck!

Ulasan selari daripada Sam the Great (apsal ko takmo poskan kat dlm ni ek Sam?):

Itu hadiah untuk pekerja cemerlang kompeni kot...maklumlah kita semua macam kuda, kompani adalah wagon nya...so dalam bebanyak kuda tu kenalah semua berlari...jangan kepala je bergoyang tapi kaki tak bergerak. Emm...pas tu kuda-kuda tu kenalah selalu senyum...jadikan ia budaya kompeni...nanti tak de la org luar tegur.."apasal muka pekerja2 kompeni ni masam je..tak de yang senyum" ikut la macam rasmi tokeh..'makin susah, makin banyak senyum'. Tapi kan....yang bawak wagon tu tahu ke kemana arah kete kuda tu nak pergi?? kiri ke..kanan ke..depan kee..(jangan suruh gostan sudah..haru kuda nak jalan ke belakang)..dan...kuda2 tu semua cukup makan ke?? makan rumput jenis baik ke...atau makan hampas je...dan...wagon tu dalam good kondition ke...contohnya, tayar dlm keadaan baik, cukup minyak pelincir. Kalau wagon tu tak de tayar...bukan ke haru kuda2 tu semua nak tarik. Pas tu jangan la ramai sangat dalam wagon tu...sampaikan kuda tak larat nak tarik. Emm..itulah palsampah si poyo yang bagi pekerja sarapan di satu hari sabtu. Sabtu2 akan datang tak tahulah ada sarapan lagi ke tidak.

Ibu

2005-06-16T14:04:00.000+08:00

Pinjam puisi Najwa Aiman...

Tersemai benih zuriat
Lalu bertunasnya hikayat
Penderitaan yang mula sarat
Bakal ditanggung sepanjang hayat

Didik dan besarkan menjadi pusaka
Yang bercambah subur menjemput syurga
Yang layu terkubur mengundang neraka
Yang pasti ibu diheret sama

Justeru tiadakah pengorbanan
Yang lebih agung dari kematian
Selain bagi seorang ibu yang melahirkan
Zuriat yang dididik menjadi berlian
Lalu berkilau di langit zaman
Hingga ynag hitam bisa bergemerlapan
Dengan keringat ibu yang kebanjiran

Kepada ibu yang mewarnai dunia
Dengan kemilau zuriat yang berjasa
Di akhirat syurgamu sudah tersedia
Apatah lagi ganjaran di dunia

Teka..!

2005-06-16T09:51:00.001+08:00

You have tried to guess this one:

Now try guessing these two:

Who's the deeply buried crying baby?

Who's this baby with black stone rantai?

Kawan

2005-06-14T08:53:00.000+08:00

Kawan. Yang mana lagi bagus, ada kawan ramai tapi tak berapa bermakna atau ada kawan sikit tapi semuanya bermakna. Bermaknanya tu maksudnya you are willing to sacrifice for them dari segi apa pun la. Saya ada sorang kawan ni... duduk dekat je ngan rumah. Tapi jarang langsung berjumpa, cakap telepon ker e-mail ker apa ker.. tapi bila jumpa jer.. eventho its been ages pun, but bercakap tu mcm baru last jumpa pagi tadi or semalam. Macam mana tu ek? Mana korang suka, kawan yang mcm ni ataupun kawan yang selalu jumpa, tapi sekadar menghabiskan masa jer? Ada jugak kawan yang dia takde pun, kita still teringat kat dia and tahu that dia care about kita jugak. Ada jugak kawan, bila kita call, ckp mcm lama tak dgr berita... etc... tanya kenapa tak call, tak contact. Tapi dia sendiri pun tak contact kita. Ermmm macam mana pulak tu?

Macam-macam perangai betul la kawan-kawan ni. Tapi to me... the most important thing is kawan tu be able to be with you whenever you need them. Biar la lama ke tak jumpa ker, apa ker.. tapi.. whenever you need someone to have fun with, someone to cry to ker, someone to “just hang around” jer.. dia ada. Even if dia takde physically depan you, but still dia try to offer anything to layan kita... best kawan mcm ni.. heheheheh. I have few precious friends that I love all my heart. Dgn dorang ni, I don’t mind if dorang kutuk ker, dorang marah ke etc… They never judge and dorang ni truthful. They support me and if they don't, they let me know. We have ups and downs, biasala kan... But we are so comfortable with each other that we don’t have to be pretentious. We are so comfortable that sometimes, we don’t have to explain ourselves. Maybe sebab dah lama kenal. We are what we are. But the base of any relationship to me is RESPECT, TRUST and KEIKHLASAN (cam tak jumpa equivalent English word to this). Oh I do love my friends. I hope I can find such friends here as a well. Love ya!

dpd web Rel

2005-06-13T10:01:00.000+08:00

Aku biasa terima emel dari http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Relexjap/ dan aku suka beberapa artikel yang disiarkan dlm tu. Ilmiah gak la especially yg berkaitan hal hukum-hakam. Tapi ada satu artikel ni aku minat sangat membacanya dan aku nak kongsi dengan kengkawan kat sini dan jugak tetamu yang ter-eksiden bertandang ke mari. Aku harap geng-geng di Relexjap tak marah aku siarkan kat sini especially empunya puisi yang panggil dirinya bEdi.

Siapakah Gerangan Sang Pemuja?

Aku tahu aku insan istimewa
alhamdulilah.. aku bersyukur ke hidratNya
namun siapakah gerangan sang pemuja..
saban hari mengirimkan aku sms tanpa nama
menelefon sekadar untuk mendengar suara

Aku tahu aku insan istimewa
alhamdulilah.. aku bersyukur ke hidratNya
namun siapakah gerangan sang pemuja..
terkadang menelefon di office juga
sekadar untuk mendengar suara
namun enggan berbicara

Aku tahu aku insan istimewa
alhamdulilah.. aku bersyukur ke hidratNya
namun siapakah gerangan sang pemuja..
mengirim sms tanpa nama
melahirkan rasa hati
sesungguhnya aku insan teristimewa..
sesungguhnya akulah ratu sanubarinya...

Aku tahu aku insan istimewa
alhamdulilah.. aku bersyukur ke hidratNya
namun siapakah gerangan sang pemuja..
yang berselindung disebalik private call
and no number...
takutkah dikau??
malukah dirimu??
atau sekadar melepas rindu??
atau mungkin juga ex yg pernah bersama..
tewas melawan badai asmara
kandas menahan gelora rindu..
lantas jadikan dirimu pemuja setia!

AF3 vs Mentor

2005-06-13T09:06:00.000+08:00

Mawi...Mawi...Mawi...
Alahaiii...Mawi lupa lirik lagi...tapi suara tetap power! Pada aku, give him a chance, nama pun baru nak belajar, tak patut jadik issue bila Mawi lupa lirik masa konsert AF3 last week. Alaaa...professional singers pun boley lupa lirik...lagi pulak nama2 besar like ziana zain yg salu lupa lirik, jamal abdillah pun lupa lirik, misha omar nyanyi kat obersi lagi sampai tak ingat lirik & have to pull out the song sebab tak ingat lirik nak nyanyi sampai kena mintak maap kat penonton. At least, Mawi tak panic masa dia lupa lirik, just ulang baris lagi sekali & terus menyanyi dengan bagus. Hidup Mawi!! MawiMawiMawiMawiMawi.....Aku tetap soking Mawi!!

Aku tengok Mentor semalam...tough fight sebab Mentor-mentornya Zainal, Ning, Ct & Liza Hanim. Aku suka Protege Zainal...si Pija tu....sore dia fuhhh...power. Protege Ning pun ok si Yanie tu tapi aku lebih sokong Pija bukan saje sebab aku suka Zainal tapi sebab aku rasa Zainal seorang Mentor yg bagus...tengok la cara dia mendidik si Pija tu...at one time masa dia tak boley coach si Pija sebab ada urusan & terpaksa keluar, dia tinggalkan Pija with an instructor to do exercise sambil menyanyi untuk latihan stamina....i salute him, bukan la macam Ct tu...tinggalkan Protege dia berlatih sesorang kat bilik hotel Intekma tu sedangkan dia ke Indon....itu ke namanya star yg jadik mentor...hmmm...hampehh...Aku tengok Mentor-mentor lain semer bersungguh-sungguh mendidik Protege masing-masing, credit also to Ning & Liza Hanim.

Panas?

2005-06-10T00:48:00.000+08:00

Panas betul sekarang ya? Rasa macam duduk belakang peti ais. Hujan pun turun main-main jek... Kejap-kejap reda. Kejap-kejap reda. Tak pernah nak lebat pun. Langit mendung dah baikkk punye tetiba hujan turun macam air paip kat negeri selangor waktu pagi-pagi... 0.15 tps (titis per second). Pastu berenti pulak hujan tu... pun mcm air paip kat negeri selangor jugak.

Tapi masa aku kat UK time winter dulu... adoi... rasa mcm nak terbang je balik Malaysia! Sejuknya ya Allah ya Tuhan...!!! Jgn kata nak kuar rumah, nak turun dari katil pun takut! Takut terpijak part lantai yang karpetnya dah koyak mendedahkan simen... sejukkkkkkk......!!!!!! Masa tu aku pikir kenapa la UK ni sejuknya macam... macam... hmm.... macam apa ya? Macam sejuk laa....

Tapi bila kengkawan hantar gambar-gambar yg macam ni, baru aku sedar tak sejuk takat mana sgt la UK tu sebenarnya. Tak pernah lagi sepanjang aku kat UK aku nampak fenomena camni.

Kalau korang ada gambar-gambar fenomena yang melampau camni, kongsi la kat sini. Lagi bagus kalau bagitau kat mana dan bila, dan citerkan la sket kenapa jadi camtu.

Aku dah berminat nak jadi pengkaji alam sekitar pulak skg memandangkan keadaan tgh pokai kering skg kan... Kaji alam sekitar tu kan ke jauh lebih baik dpd jadi assassin dan tuju senapang ke mortar ke haper ke kat kepala org2 tertentu kat sini? Agaknya pasal tu diorang nak pastikan kita miskin - supaya kita tak mampu nak upah assassin...

Sedar diri pulak yang diorang tu sebenarnya dibenci oleh makhluk sejagat... asyik kena sumpahan org2 sendiri, patutlah terlungkup dan tersimpang di balik Katong....

Eh.. tetiba citer pasal spesis haiwan jadian pulak... sowiii....

Berbalik kepada citer apa ya? Oh ya! Citer alam sekitar. Aku dah suka tengok gunung-ganang sekarang sebab mesti mengingatkan aku pada kampung. Sonotnya balik kampung lalu highway tu sebab dpt tgk gunung-ganang, especially yg dekat dgn plaza tol tu. Tol? Tu pun satu hal lagik! Naik je memanjang! Petrol pun naik! Ayam pun! Siapa yang naikkan?

Eh... melalut lagi... kenapa ya? Oh ya! Sebab kekasih takda di sisi sekarang....

Aduh!

2005-06-09T16:11:00.000+08:00

Nukilan gaji tak dapat...

Aduh! Sakitnya kepala
Fikirkan nasib yang tak kemana
Hari hari tetap setia
Tapi balasannya mana?

Ada lagi yang mengata
Oh ia akan menjelma
Sabar, takde la lama
Minggu depan cuma

Tapi apakan daya
Hati ku sengsara
Hidup bagaikan papa
Menagih duit dari mama

Oi la orang kaya
Asyik je berbelanja
Kitaorg ni mcm mana
Oi DUIT AKU MANA???

ERR... BANTAI JELA...

2005-06-07T21:50:00.000+08:00

2005-06-07T14:08:00.001+08:00

Tragic Hero

2005-06-07T14:08:00.000+08:00

Hahahahahahha ni dah masuk dalam khayal khayal.. but since this is our beloved page.. nakkkkk jugak letak ni kat sini.. heheheheh jangan mare

Tragic Hero

He’s a simple boy
So confused and coy
Searching for his existence
In the universe

A wise man came
Found the boy his place
Not in his desert home he says
But somewhere outerspace

How would he know?
That he’ll be a hero one day
The One, they called him
Balance to the force, he is supposed to bring

A small boy alone in a strange city
Far from his mother and homesick
Seeking something he is yet to understand
But oh so curious, he don’t have to pretend

Accept companionship from a master and a friend
Still not enough from a boy far from his land
He longs for a woman’s love and touch
Then he met a lady, much older than his age
“Are you an angel?” innocently he asked
Creating a smile on her face
“You’re a funny little boy” she had said

Oh what a great student he is
Much to the admiration of his master
A great bond existed between them
Never knew it would not last forever

Secretly in love with the angel lady
This is not the way he is supposed to be
A lady with power, a boy with great responsibility
Secretly married they have to be

Oh what a tragic hero had he become
Beyond his conscience and morality
For the simplest reason known in existence
So noble and yet foolish
To save the one he loves that is

Everything around him crumbles
For the sake of the one he loves
I guess it is true after all
The greatest love moves people to madness
This is a classic story
Of a one man journey
Found his glory
Still not enough in his diary
Falls down easily
All because of greedy

Ingin Diulangi

2005-06-06T23:10:00.000+08:00

Huh? Bertukar lagi langsir kita! Hehehehe.... best! Best! Something new every time I log in. Khas untuk Moon, selamat kembali. Now we're all back again! Dubuk? Hang bila nak mai sini? Pasai apa aku tanya?

Pasainya, aku teringin sangat nak ulangi pengalaman macam dalam gambaq ni! Dalam keadaan haru-biru dan tensen tahap sidratul muntaha ni (eh? aku sorang je ke yg rasa tensen sampai tahap cenggini?), aku rasa kita perlu release sesama kita sampai lupa daratan... oh what the heck! Mari kita release tensen sampai lupa lautan sekalipun!!!

Aku tau gaji blom masuk. Persetankanlah dengan gaji tu! Dah perabih sewa ofis dan beli perabot kat Sharjah. Bagus gak tu. Lepas ni Dubai bukan sekadar blacklist P** tapi jugak B**. Habis seluruh kaum-kerabat tokey tak lepas masuk ke situ. Hah! Kalau dah nak ke mana-mana pun tak buleh, dipersilakanlah dok beristirehat kat Sungai Buloh je... Ada satu suite untuk VIP yang dah kosong tahun lepas atas ikhsan PM Pak Lah...

So amacam? Sementara kita masih bersama? Why not? Masuk je gaji untuk bulan... bulan... hmm... aku pun sampai dah lupa untuk bulan berapa punya gaji dah sekarang nih..... Ah! Tak kisahlah untuk gaji bulan yang mana satu... bulan lima ke bulan empat ke bulan enam ke bulan sabit ke... gaji jek, kita on!

Amacam?

Cerita Realiti Dan Fantasi

2005-06-06T17:13:00.000+08:00

I quote dari cerita tuk sheikh

citernya..dulu masa sy mula2 pergi takder ofis.. kerja sumer kat apartment si AZS tu..lepas AZS dtg..dia suruh si maulot cari ofis..dapatla satu kat Panthouse.. 100,000.00+ setahun..dah bayar la 3 kali..so..masukla ofis tu..memang lawa la..macam tingkat 1 nyer ofis. lepas tu..si AZS beli la perabot yang canggih2..berbelas ribu habis..ker puluh..sbb meja meeting yang boleh muat 12 org tu pun dia beli..lepas tu meja staff dalam 11 meja..orgnya ada 7 org jer..memang la canggih mejanya. kabinet sumer ada..
so..kitaorg pun terpaksala masuk ofis..8.00 pagi memulanya..tapi 2 kali kitaorg dtg lambat sbb malam kalau meeting ngan dia sampai kol 1-2 pagi...so..berceramahla dia pasal disiplin..si shahrul azlan siap kena panggil masuk bilik lagi sbb dtg lambat. bengang gila member tu.. lepas tu tukar masa ker 8.30 pagi sampai la 6.30 ptg.. rehat 1-3. tapi selalu nya takder la org kat ofis tu kecuali si maulot..sbb yang lain2 macam sy nie kena keluar..si shahrul kena pergi bank apply loan beli keta..sy kena pergi survey kedai untuk beli komputer ngan pergi pejabat gomen..hashim kena jumpa kontraktor..lps tu dia gak la yang komplen org selalu takder kat ofis.. tu yang letih tu padahal kerja2 tu sumer dia yang suruh. memang tak happy langsung.. komputer satu jer..so kitaorg gilir2 la pakai. komputer..takpun gi internet cafe...
yang haru dan bangang..sebenarnya..ofis tu takleh di buka..sbb BPI di register under free zone..so kena beroperasi kat kawasan sharjah airport tu jer la..sy ngan si shahril anhar la naik turun pejabat free zone nak kena settle benda nie..nak dapat approval. tapi yang paling best sekali, kalau nak bukak luar free zone kena bayar 15,000.00 dirhammmmmmmmmm...kekekekeke. so, sekarang nei ofis tu takleh dia pakai dah..kalau pakai gak kena tangkap masuk jel..sy tak nak masuk jel. sekarang nei ofis tu dah kena potong letriknya sbb sewa lagi satu payment ngakk di buat.. barang2 tu semua pun dah tak di pakai..so..habis gitu jerla berpuluh2 ribu tu.. best kan!! tepuk2!!

WELKUMM BAK!!!!

2005-06-06T13:45:00.000+08:00

Moon dah balik!!!! yeyey.... rambut macam orang baru balik umrah.... rindu la Moon.... hmmm... kalau si Dubuk pindah KL... maka lengkap la merapu kita ni ek?
Anyway, Welcome Home Moon!!!! Mmmmuuuaaahhhhhhh!!!!

Langsir Baru?

2005-06-06T01:11:00.000+08:00

Tekezut bila aku masuk blog ni macam biasa. Memula tadi ingatkan dah tersalah masuk rumah orang lain. Rupa-rupanya rumah kita dah tukar langsir (pinjam istilah antubuku dalam blog carriekirana).

Naper tukar langsir? Tak kisahlah... yang penting isi rumahnya, tak gitu? Anyway, langsir baru ni tersusun sket, organised gitu...hehehehe....

Kali ni aku takde apa sgt nak tulis. Letih sebenarnya. Malas betul rasanya nak pegi kerja sekarang. Company dah nak jadi apa ntah... aku pun malas dah nak pikir. dulu rajin gak mencari idea camne nak tolong company. Tapi pertukaran pengurusan gagal mengembalikan ummpphh..! Lagi menambah beban ada laaa..... So nak buat apa tolong orang jenis camni? Kita nak tolong dia, dia nak gigit kita balik. Umpama melepas anjing tersepit. Tau dah siapa anjing tu?

Dan seperti yang dijangka, pengurusan baru ni pun jenis pentingkan diri sendiri jugak. In fact lebih teruk daripada bapaknya...

So sesiapa yang kata stupidity is not inheritable.... well.... think again! Orang yang cakap camtu dah tentu tak pernah saksikan apa yang kita saksikan. Believe you me! Stupidity... it runs in the family...

AKADEMI FANTASIA

2005-06-05T03:45:00.000+08:00

Hihihihi... can't help it.. kene jugak wa tulis pasal bende ni coz hendak tak hendak mesti korang2 tengok atau tertengok konsert2 AF3. So, what do you guys and gals think of the new line up? The first 12 are good except for Aidil.. nyampahnyer wa ngan dia ni.. senyum terkemut2.. menari ntah apa apa... astaghafirullah.. dosa jer ek? Tapi wa puas hati la si Mawi tu masuk especially lepas dia bawak lagu Kekasih Awal Dan Akhir... selamber jer wa tengok dia tarik... tak nampak pun urat merih dia.... wa rasa Jamal Abdillah pun tangkap leleh punya lah... M.Nasir nampak sangat sudah teruja dengan jawa ni.... tapi wa sikit hampa la sebab Mawi macam tak excited langsung dapat masuk ni? Dia dah ubah fikiran ker? Tapi macam mana lah ek mamat ni nak seswaikan diri dengan gaya hidup bebas di Akademi? Rela ker dia di pegang2 oleh Linda Jasmine? Heheheheh.... Cakap pasal Mawi ni lagi, I think sesapa yang tak suka genre lagu2 Jamal Abdillah, nasyid and perhaps irama nusantara, memang tak kan suka ngan Mawi... what the heck... suara macam dia susah nak dapat beb.... tak sabau nak dengar dia nyanyi lagu omputih... tapi kalau dibagi lagu Yassin Sulaiman, sure tangkap gelek punya lah....
Heheheh... dulu masa Mawi tak tersenarai, wa memang malas nak vote sesaper... hmm.. pandai betul si astro ni nak menjahanamkan poket wa yang dah sah sah lambat masuk gaji ni.... dah naik rege plak tu... 65 sen sekarang... tapi wa rasa, komdian-komdian lah baru vote...
Saper lagi aku nak komen? Wa rasa Felix tu bagus... yang pompan wa suka cek mek kelate tu, Amy pun okay... yang lain belum menyerlah lagi.... ha.. Yazer pun wa suka sebab sore dia macam sore adik wa.....
Kat bawah ni wa punya choice, pilihan pertama tu di influenced oleh emosi semata-mata:
1. Mawi
2. Yazer
3. Felix
4. Amy
5. Idayu
6. Reza (this has been changed through edition - wa dah nyampah betul2 dengan si Marsha tu,,, macam budak terencat jer.. dah lah gigi mancung!!) -Ed- 07/06/05)
so, what's your ranking?

"You Don't Reason With Unreasonable People"

2005-06-05T00:40:00.000+08:00

Are we still here?

Well... actually we're still here... it's just that some of us are no longer with us... you dig??? The memories remain, but the activities will pass.

Remember those days when we used to scold each other to ensure that our jobs were done in orderly and perfect manner? And remember how we enjoyed laughters whenever we had the chance to actually sit together and made a fool of the very jobs we were doing? Well... that's who we were... and that's who we still are! We are the people who, though we know that the things we do are idiotic, we still work with each other to make sure that the team wins!

And they think we are a bunch of fools not knowing what we were doing?

Heck! We were doing exactly what they told us to do!

And of course, "you don't reason with unreasonable people," said a good friend of mine and I've always taken those words to be true. Why? Because he had proven his point - he was right!

So friends, the next time somebody who you know for a fact that he or she is the unreasonable type tells you to do something, just do it! You cannot reason with them, because reasoning requires brain!

Aren't we all victims of brainless souls?

Missing...you...

2005-06-05T00:38:00.000+08:00

There's something I always hate... when any one of my friends starts to feel bad. Regardless of whatever reasons.

And that's when only ONE of them feels bad.

What if ALL of them feel bad? And it's all about the same thing? To make it worse, they all feel bad about the very thing that binds them together in the first place - employment!

How I wish all these never happened!

I want them to smile, to laugh, to talk. I hope I won't miss any... I meant any of those...ever...!

I love my friends...!!!

Potong Gaji?

2005-06-04T22:11:00.000+08:00

Boleh tak kalau company tetiba decide nak potong gaji staf? Tetiba dapat payslip tengok gaji masuk separuh jek. Atau pun tetiba dapat surat bagitau bulan depan gaji masuk separuh. Boleh tak?

Dari segi undang-undang camne? Kebanyakan orang kata tak boleh sebab dalam offer letter dah disebut gaji berapa dan dua2 pihak sain surat tu sebagai kontrak yang dipersetujui bersama. Okey... fine... betul jugak.. TAPI????

Haaa..... tapi... bagi orang yang dah kerja, say, tiga tahun. Offer letter tu mesti bertarikh tiga tahun lalu kan? Gaji yang disebut dan dipersetujui bersama tu ialah apa yang dipersetujui tiga tahun lalu. Assuming selama tiga tahun tu staf tu dah dapat dua kenaikan gaji. Semasa dia dapat kenaikan gaji tu, dokumen apa yang terlibat dalam transaksi? Unilateral atau bilateral? Dua-dua pihak sain?

Majikan mesti suka bila baca part ni kan? TAPI????

Sesuatu transaksi gaji tu bukan ke dikira sudah ada persetujuan bilateral bila majikan BAYAR dan pekerja TERIMA? Tak gitu ke? Jadi bila selama ni majikan bayar kenaikan gaji, dan staf terima gaji tu tanpa bangkangan, bukan tu dah dianggap sebagai acceptance ke???

Camne ek? Korang lawyer kan? Sam the Great yang tinggi lampai sampai aku tak sampai tu lawyer kan? Sila explain sket....

Nak Ke Mana Lepas Ni?

2005-05-30T17:34:00.000+08:00

Camne pun dah tentu mesti ada orang kena buang. Bukan rahsia lagi dah yang company nak reduce workforce. Kompem! Percayalah cakap aku ni! Aku tak bohong!

Work towards this is in progress. Orang kat HR in the Group (HQ + subsid) dah occupied dgn benda ni. Name list must be submitted to the CEO by end of this week! Camtulah yang aku dengar.

So...? Takperlu berenti keje my frenz. Tapi just make sure ye' all ada safety net. Untuk short term pun jadilah. Apa? Aku cuba menakut-nakutkan? Aku create panic? Really??? Sorry la kalau korang panic... sebab... aku fikir... lebih selesa tau benda ni in advance dpd tetiba caught by surprise bila tetiba dpt surat kata "You're no longer needed by us!"

Bu then again... those yg dah lama kat sini mesti dah tau kan? Sometimes benda yg digembar-gemburkan tu tak pulak menjadi. Tapi somehow aku ada feeling yg benda ni akan jadi... kalau tak sepenuhnya pun... sipi-sipi tu ada gak laa.... Dalam situasi kita sekarang benda ni tak mustahil.

Percayalah cakap aku. Aku kan pandai!

Tanda Apa Sebenarnya?

2005-05-29T16:25:00.000+08:00

Sekarang ni banyak sungguh orang jumpa tanda-tanda kebesaran Allah dalam berbagai bentuk - corak cuping telinga budak, tanda di tapak tangan bayi yang lahir, kertas dalam mulut bayi, susunan pokok-pokok di Jerman - macam-macamlah!

Masa aku baca benda2 ni sumer, aku tak terfikirkan apa-apa pun masa tu. Aku cuma fikir, buduh benar mereka yang masih tak mahu terima kebenaran.

Tapi fikiranku segera berubah apabila benda yang sama terjadi pada aku sendiri. Gambar di atas tu sebenarnya Milo ais yang aku bancuh di rumah. Selepas beberapa teguk, aku letakkan di meja makan di dapur sambil buat kerja lain. Lepas tu bila aku datang balik utk seteguk dua lagi, tu dia! Korang nampak tak? Buih-buih tu membentuk nama Allah! Clear sangat!!!

Aku terkejut sampai rasa nak terkencing! Lepas tu baru aku terfikir balik. Kenapa Allah tunjukkan tanda2 ni semua?

Aku terfikir semula. Tak cukupkah semua kejadian normal yang ada dalam dunia skg ni utk membuktikan kebesaran dan kekuasaan Allah sehingga Allah harus tunjukkan kebesaran-Nya dan kekuasaan-Nya dlm bentuk pelik2 macam ni? Kejadian bumi, lautan, angkasa, tumbuh-tumbuhan, haiwan. Bahkan kejadian manusia itu sendiri sebenarnya dah cukup untuk menunjukkan kebesaran dan kekuasaan-Nya.

Tapi Allah tunjukkan dalam bentuk kejadian pelik dan kebetualn seperti ni juga! Aku terfikir... adakah aku juga sebenarnya sudah lupakan Tuhan? Adakah Allah sengaja mahu tunjukkan padaku juga bahawa aku sudah terlupa hakkat yang Allah itu Maha Berkuasa dan aku akan kembali pada-Nya suatu hari nanti yang entah bila?

Aku takut. Takut kerana Allah tunjukkan kekuasaan-Nya directly pada aku! Mula-mula aku tak mau bagitau sesiapa. Tapi selepas memikirkan bahawa tanda kebesaran dan amaran Allah harus disebarkan ke seluruh dunia, maka aku siarkan di sini.

Moga-moga semua orang kembali insaf - bahawa jika Allah terpaksa menunjukkan kekuasaan-Nya dalam bentuk yang pelik, bererti Allah Yang Maha Mengetahui tahu bahawa umat Muhammad SAW ini sudah semakin melupakan Tuhan dan menganggap diri mereka sendiri begitu agung dan hebat sehingga menafikan penguasaan Yang Maha Esa ke atas dirinya!

Apa Yang Tak Kena?

2005-05-29T11:56:00.000+08:00

Aku tengah pening menyiapkan proposal yang bos kita nakkan sangat ni kan... Pening rasa macam nak bunuh diri jek. Tapi tak boleh la bunuh diri. So aku pun surf folder aku sendiri. Aku jumpa gambar ni. Cute sangat!!! Cute sebab semua ada kecuali aku.

Aku cuba jugak cari apa-apa yang janggal dalam gambar ni... sajer nak buang masa sambil lepas tensen. Kalau-kalaulah ada yang janggal. Ada la jugak aku jumpa dua tiga benda yang janggal. Misalnya, mat romeo tak berposing bersama pompan, tapi sebaliknya abang long pulak yang amik alih... hehehehe....

Lagi... antara jantan-jantan terhangat kat belakang tu, dah tau dah siapa paling tinggi. Untuk mengelakkan dari dicam oleh seluruh dunia, maka tu pasallah yang paling rendang tak join dalam gambar ni.

Pastu... dalam ramai-ramai tu, ada jugak orang yang walaupun lokasi gambar ni bukan kat kubikal dia, dia tak pakai kasut. Mana kasut kau ya?

Ada lagi... aku rasa aku tau kenapa kawan kita tu yang terpilih untuk ke overseas... hehehe.... sebab antara sumer jantan, dia sorang je yang berjanggut.

Lepas tu aku terpandangkan pencil sharpener tu, aku pun teringat tentang assignment yang towkey suruh buat ni. Nak sambung buat assigment la. Takut towkey menyendeng sebelah aku Isnin nanti kalau assignment tak siap. Gelilah!!!

Yang lain-lain tu korang carilah sendiri... jangan kacau aku!

Teori Buduh Aku Tentang Star Wars

2005-05-28T02:34:00.000+08:00

Aku baca kat The Star hari ni...eh....? Dah tukar hari la... The Star semalam ada komen pasal Star Wars yang dikaitkan dgn isu politik di US. Aku pun ada teori gak sebenarnya, dan mcm yang aku janjikan dlm blog aku hari tu, aku nak citerkan teori buduh aku ni.

Teori aku berasaskan bahawa George Lucas tu Yahudi (tp mmg dia Yahudi pun kan?). Sbg Yahudi, dia mesti akan jadikan bangsanya istimewa, dan of course, baik. Selain dpd tu, Yahudi juga mestilah powerful tetapi low-profile. Mereka ada pengaruh dlm pentadbiran dan pemerintahan, tapi mereka sendiri tak mentadbir dan memerintah secara langsung. Walaupun demikian, mereka bertindak sbg satu unity, individu yang bergabung membentuk komuniti yang powerful.

Mereka adalah Jedi. (kalau ikut ejaan inggeris pun rasanya sebutan sebenar ialah "ye-dai". Orang jerman menyebut yahudi "yuda").

Siapa yang jahat? Palpatine tu la jahat. Yang pakai selubung tu. Siapa dia? Orang yang asalnya disangka baik dan kengkununnya mementingkan keamanan sejagat. Tp utk menjadi org jahat yg berkuasa, dia perlukan kekuatan yg ada pada yahudi. Jadi dia mesti cari Yahudi yg lemah. Yg boleh dipengaruhi dgn mudah - Anakin. Dan kejahatan Anakin hanya akan sempurna setelah dia jadi Darth Vader - Nazi! Hitler! Hehehehe..... Vader yang menghapuskan sumer Jedi umpama Hitler yang menghapuskan semua Yahudi.

Bila Jedi sumer dah terhapus, dia akan hapuskan seluruh alam pulak.

Tu la teori aku. Buduh ke tak pandai? Aku ngantuk dah ni.......!!!!

Zzzzzz..............

Manisnya mesra... tak semanis madu atau gula. Ke mana saja dan bila saja, kalian tetap meriah dan memeriahkan. Pastinya berbeda tanpa kalian nanti. Aku nak bagi satu puisi najwa aiman (petikan dari blog aku) untuk korang:

Ada Ketikanya...

Ada ketikanya
air mataku menitis
kerana sakit hati
akan gurauan jahatmu

Ada ketikanya
air mataku menitis
kerana teramat benci
akan sindir cacimu

Ada ketikanya
air mataku menitis
kerana marah yang membara
akan perlakuan layananmu

Namun setiap ketika
air mataku menitis
bila terkenangkan tentang kita

dan setiap yang telah kulalui bersamamu....

Menanti Papa

2005-05-26T01:17:00.000+08:00

Hasil nukilan Najwa Aiman yang dipetik daripada blog aku:

Ina tertunduk lesu. Sudah kering air matanya kini. Tidak termampu lagi hendak diperahkan walau setitis. Matanya hampir terpejam kerana bengkak. Berat dirasakan sekeliling biji matanya. Pedih setiap kali kelopaknya tertutup.

Ditenungnya Azri yang masih leka bermain kapal terbang mainannya. Anak kecil itu tidak mengerti apa-apa. Tertiarap di permaidani sambil terus melayan imaginasi sendiri. Berdebur pelbagai bunyi dari mulutnya yang comel. Mungkin meniru bunyi desingan enjin kapal terbang yang membelah udara.

Perlahan-lahan rambut Azri diusap. Masih ada lagikah sisa air yang mampu diperah keluar dari matanya? Tergenang pun tidak. Lalu berhamburan keluhan di mulutnya. Ketika itulah Azri mendongak memandangnya.

"Papa masih kerja ya mama?" alunan suara kecil itu menerpa telinganya lalu membuai emosi yang sedia hanyut.

"Ya," jawab Ina lemah.

"Lama betullah papa ni kerja," rungut Azri. "Bila dia nak balik ya mama?"

Sungguhpun tiada lagi sisa air mata walau setitis, sendunya masih ada yang tinggal terbuku di hati. Dan sendu itulah yang mendesah keluar bersama nafasnya, sehingga dadanya sebu dengan sebak yang semakin mengetatkan dada. Tidak sanggup rasanya hendak menjawab pertanyaan si kecil yang masih tidak mengerti tentang hakikat kehidupan.

"Kalau papa tak balik macam mana?" Ina menguatkan semangatnya bertanya. Tidak pasti lagi apa jawapan si kecil. "Tak payahlah suruh papa balik."

"Kenapa?" Ina mengeluh hampa. Kenapa mesti papa si kecil ini tidak pulang? Bagaimana hendak menjelaskannya?

"Biarlah papa kerja," jawab Ina akhirnya, mengalah dengan emosi yang semakin berkecai. "Papa suka kerja, kan?"

"Tapi papa kerja lama sangat!" semakin tinggi pula suara Azri. Marah mula menyelinap dalam himpitan rasanya barangkali. "Papa tak rindukan Azri ke? Kenapa mama tak telefon papa suruh balik?"

Ina tidak berdaya menjawab pertanyaan itu. Bagaimana mungkin dapat dijelaskannya kepada si kecil? Bagaimana?

Pintu ruang tamu tiba-tiba dibuka orang dari luar. Fariz yang lengkap berkot dan bertali leher melangkah masuk sambil menjinjing beg kulit yang mahal. Bibir Ina mula mengukir senyum, tetapi hambar benar senyuman itu.

"Tengok tu Azri, siapa yang balik?" kata Ina sambil mencuit pipi Azri.

"Ina," sapa Fariz sambil tersenyum dan mengatur langkah menghampiri dua beranak yang masih santai di permaidani ruang tamu. "Tak bawa Azri ke taman hari ni?"

Ina bangun menyambut ketibaan Fariz. Beg kulit yang dipegang disambutnya. Baju kot yang baru ditanggalkan pun disambutnya. Berkerut wajah Fariz melihat mata Ina yang bengkak dan mukanya yang sembab.

"Kenapa lain macam saja hari ni sayang?" tanyanya. "Tak sihat ke?"

"Ya bang," balas Ina lemah. "Tu sebab tak pergi ke taman hari ni. Azri pun tak mau pergi ke taman."

"Dia leka main kapal terbang dia tu," duga Fariz. "Kan Azri?"

Fariz membongkok hendak menyentuh kepala budak itu, tetapi sepantas kilat pula tangan Azri menepis. Tersentak seketika Fariz sehingga berkerut mukanya.

"Kenapa dia marah ni?" tanya Fariz. "Tak suka dengan kapal terbang yang papa bagi tu?"

Azri tidak menjawab. Wajahnya mencuka. Seakan hendak terbalik lipatan bibirnya mencebikkan cemuhan. Lalu tubuh kecil itu bingkas bangun. Tatkala itu Fariz sekali lagi cuba menyentuh bahunya, tetapi sekali lagi juga Azri menepis tangan Fariz dengan keras. Kemudian Azri berlari pantas mendaki tangga lalu menghilang ke tingkat atas.

Berkerut dahi Fariz memandang perlakuan Azri. Beralih pula tenungannya ke arah Ina.

"Kenapa pula dia tu kali ni?" tanya Fariz. "Apa lagi yang dia hendak?"

Ina serba salah. Harus diulangkah permintaannya dahulu? Harus ditempuh lagikah kemarahan Fariz?

"Bang," ujar Ina lembut. "Dia rindukan papa dia bang. Tolonglah bagi dia..."

"Ina!" bentak Fariz, mematikan seluruhnya kata-kata yang baru hendak dituturkan Ina. "Jangan ulang lagi benda ni! Abang dah kata dari mula lagi, bukan? Abang takkan benarkan Azri atau Ina berjumpa lagi dengan si Salman tu! Biar kiamat sekali pun dunia ni! No! No way!"

Sambil mendengus Fariz beredar keras meninggalkan Ina melayan keresahannya sendirian.

Monologue

2005-05-25T12:11:00.000+08:00

Kau gadis comel
Belum tahu erti hidup
Kau bagai nuwastu
Semerbak disenja waktu

Lagu hidupmu masih kosong
Tanpa nada dan irama
Tersembunyi segala rahsia
Tanpa noda dan cela

Namun gelap subuh
Membawa bersama tabir malam
Akan menyerlah mentari
Tersembul wajahmu
Dengan harapan
Untuk menyingkap tabir zaman

Bersama rong hitam
Jingga dan kelabu
Dengan kaki lesumu
Kau menapak
Satu...
Satu.....
