A Beautiful Life

First Appointment with Prof Zainul MAC HUKM

2012-01-31T14:19:00.003+08:00

Semalam buat pertama kalinya saya ke HUKM...Mula-mula pergi ke UKM Specialist Centre di Tingkat 7, jumpa Prof Zainul. Saya bawa sekali surat rujukan drp my previous gynae. Bincang-bincang dan Prof and us decide to do ICSI instead of IVF. Sebabnya kami tak nak buang masa dah...Previous attempts rasanya dah banyak makan masa. Sebenarnya bukan saya sengaja mahu melewat-lewatkan tetapi kami berdua mempunyai banyak perkara peribadi +urusan keluarga + urusan kerja yang perlu diuruskan sebelum ini..

Stress dan tekanan? Hmm tanyalah kepada sesiapa yang berkeadaan seperti saya dan anda akan faham. Saya sebenarnya cuba berfikiran positif ...sebab itu saya lebih banyak mendiamkan diri dan menyibukkan diri daripada melayan perasaan. Memang diakui ada yang bertanya soalan soalan kurang asam (saya tidak kisah jika ditanya tentang rawatan saya + dan ada anak dll sebab itu bagi saya soalan biasa and no harm). Tetapi bila soalan sudah sentuh tentang kahwin/cerai/cari orang lain tambahan pulak baru bersembang dengan kita selepas berbelas tahun tak jumpa ohhh saya rasa itu sudah melampau. Bukankan lebih elok jika kita mendoakan yang elok-elok instead of soalan kawin/cerai itu tadi.

Maka sudahnya saya lebih selesa mendiamkan diri kerana saya juga perlu menjaga perasaan saya supaya tidak stress. Saya perlu tenang dan tidak stress semasa menjalani rawatan saya.
Rawatan start from 2008 so now dah 4 + years cuba IUI dan macam-macam lagi...+ somemore doctor bz + cuti etc...Umur pun rasanya dah makin meningkat dan Alhamdulillah Allah beri rezeki untuk kami buat prosedur ICSI yang anggaran kosnya dalam RM13k (procedure + ubatss).

Why is George Soros selling gold and buying farm?

2011-08-25T21:52:00.006+08:00

Saya sedang membaca artikel di bawah ini pada malam ini:

(NaturalNews) Food prices are skyrocketing all across the globe, and there's no end in sight. The United Nations says food inflation is currently at 30% a year, and the fast-eroding value of the dollar is causing food prices to appear even higher (in contrast to a weakening currency). As the dollar drops in value due to runaway money printing at the Federal Reserve, the cost to import foods from other nations looks to double in just the next two years -- and possibly every two years thereafter.

That's probably why investors around the globe are flocking to farmland as the new growth industry. "Investors are pouring into farmland in the U.S. and parts of Europe, Latin America and Africa as global food prices soar," reports Bloomberg magazine (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-...). "A fund controlled by George Soros, the billionaire hedge-fund manager, owns 23.4 percent of South American farmland venture Adecoagro SA."

Jim Rogers is also quoted in the same story, saying, "I have frequently told people that one of the best investments in the world will be farmland."

That's because demand for food is accelerating even as radical climate changes, a loss of fossil water supplies, and the failure of genetically engineered crops is actually reducing food yields around the globe. Ceres Partners, which invests in farmland, has produced astonishing 16 percent annual returns since its launch in 2008. And this is during a depressed economy when most other industries are showing losses.

Why growing and storing your own food can be a goldmine
All this means we can count on three things happening in the years ahead:

Prediction #1) Food supplies will become more scarce.

Prediction #2) Food prices will double over the next 2-3 years, and then probably double again in another 2-3 years.

Prediction #3) When food prices are 400% of today's levels, backyard farming or gardening pays off big in terms of real dollar savings.

In other words, as food prices skyrocket, it becomes increasingly more financially viable to grow your own food (or store it now while prices are low). I'm listing some resources below where you can learn more about growing your own food or storing high-density superfoods right now, but in the mean time, I'd like you to start considering the idea of starting your own garden in the spring.

You can't grow gold. You can't print your own currency (unless you're the Fed). But you CAN grow something more valuable than gold and money: Food!

Lessons from post World War II Taiwan and why food is more valuable than gold
I lived in Taiwan for two years, and I've had the opportunity to talk with people there who lived through the post World War II recovery. During the war, of course, Taiwan was occupied by the imperialist Japanese empire, and Taiwan existed in a state of military occupation (with perpetual martial law).

After the war ended and the Japanese left, Taiwan bootstrapped its own government into power under Chiang Kai-shek. The old Taiwan currency was immediately printed in large quantities by the Taiwan government leading to a runaway inflation scenario for what is now called the "old Taiwan dollar." Very quickly, however, the government launched a new currency called the New Taiwan dollar (NT$). By 1949, the old Taiwan dollar was being exchanged for the New Taiwan dollar (NT$) at a ratio of 40,000 to 1. (Yep. You had $40,000 and now it's worth a buck...).

During those years after WWII, if you wanted to rent an apartment, buy a house or find a place to live, cash was worthless and even GOLD wasn't considered very useful. The only thing that represented real wealth was FOOD. If you had food, you could trade it for anything: an automobile, a home, tools, clothing or even land. If you didn't have food, you were bankrupt; regardless of how much cash or gold you had.

A chicken that could lay eggs was worth more than an ounce of gold!

You can't eat gold, folks. And you can't eat silver. Everybody has to eat to stay alive, and that means everybody needs a constant stream of food just to keep breathing. That's why investing in food makes so much sense.

And by "investing in food," I mean any or all of the following:

• Investing in storable food that you can save on the shelf and keep for future use or barter.

• Investing in your own gardening skills so that you have the know-how to produce food when needed.

• Investing in non-hybrid garden seeds so that you have the genetic blueprints to grow food that can propagate itself generation after generation.

• Investing in farmland -- especially farmland with water -- that offers the fertility and climate to produce food.

• Investing in educational courses that teach you how to create food through a variety of methods: Wildcrafting, gardening, sprouting and so on.

Saya amat tertarik dengan komen-komen oleh pembaca-pembaca artikel tersebut;

1) There is a very good example of the value of the gold in occupied Sarajevo (Bosnia). Nobody wanted to exchange food for gold! They were starving and needed to survive. Our friend told us that he wanted to sell a bag of golden jewelery in order to buy some food. No luck. A balcony with tomato plants was guarded night and day - with guns.

Sesungguhnya salah satu cita-cita saya adalah untuk memiliki tanah sendiri untuk bercucuk tanam dan menternak makanan saya sendiri.

InsyaAllah sekiranya dipermudahkan dan dimurahkan rezeki oleh Allah SWT, impina itu akan tercapai.

Thinking of A New Blog

2011-07-19T12:23:00.002+08:00

Just came back from a talk about timber in Cheras....

I have always this thought of setting up a new 'professional' blog to write about 'professional engineering stuff' and my 'gardening stuff' which, I think might not suit my current 'cheesy' blog.

No worries, this blog will still be maintained for my other day-to day interesting stuffs about life and such...

2011-07-10T19:38:00.002+08:00

Beberapa minggu lepasa ade ternampak pokok bunga ini dalam longkang rumah jiran belakang...terus ku berkenan..tapi tak tau namanya...google google..maka jumpalah namanya iaitu Desert Petunia..dan warnanya macam-macam - purple, pink, putih...

So..inilah bunga idaman ku ...bila ada masa nanti bole carik kat nursery...khabarnya pokok nih senang hidup kat Malaysia dan sukakan cahaya matahari...

New Office Room

2011-06-21T23:59:00.004+08:00

Oh..dah masuk bulan Jun 2011...cepatnya masa berlalu...lagi sebulan dua dah nak puasa dan raya...

Lama x update blog sebab sibuk dengan macam-macam hal... Hal di office kebanyakannya....

Hal sendiri banyak yang tunggang langgang kebelakangan ini..sampaikan nak buat claim diri sendiri pun x sempat dan selalu lambat..uhukss..

2-3 hari ni pulak sibuk pindah masuk bilik yang lebih besar kat tingkat atas. Kena angkut barang-barang..setup pc..link kan pc dengan printer bla bla..

Dan..yang penting ...dah kena serius dengan kerja - tanggungjawab makin banyak...Kalau dulu nak cuti bole senang-senang skit..la ni kena pikir dulu sebab kerja melambak + dah kena answerable to every single thing....

Apa nak cerita ek?..Sebenarnya xde cerita sangat..Sungguh pathetic kan..macam xde life je....

Eh apa lak ku merepek malam-malam buta nih.. Tidur ..tidur wahai sang permaisuri..

Life Goes On

2011-03-16T14:29:00.005+08:00

Oppsss..it has been 2 months plus since the last time I updated my blog...Works and works and lots of works have kept me away from the blogging world.

I have decided to take a break from hospital medication for maybe about 3 or 4 months and try traditional method instead..At the same time I have started my new diet program (I have gained lots of kgs after taking chlomids for the past few months). Morning - cereals or bread, Afternoon - rice, Night - bread or / and fruits + aerobic /workout sessions at home..

I've just met one of my former colleague of my previous office in TIMA back a few years ago and chit chatted with her. She is also trying to get no.2 after successfully giving birth to her first child 5 years ago by IUI. I got to know that 2 other colleagues of the same former office are trying their luck as I am and they have been grippling with miscarriage after miscarriage episodes..Is it merely a coincidence that we, 4 girls of the same previous office have this infertility issues?

Works is piling up in the office and sometimes I am having the difficulty to prioritise. Who says working in the govt is soo relaxed? Not in my case.... and..as you climb the career ladder, more works will be given to you - well you got the payrise, hence the quadrapled workload...and being a civil servant after almost a decade, you will find yourself hard to venture into other new things or going to private to start all over again for some reasons.

Oh well, life goes on..

Seronok jugak tengok HyppTV nih..my favourite channels are BBC Knowledge, Travel Channel, BBC Lifestyle + Warner TV...Aku plak jenis suka tengok dokumentari especially cooking show / gardening show....Walaupon tak pasang Astro / takleh nengok NGC, Discovery & History Channel, at least BBC mengubat rindu pada rancangan-rancangan informative...Rindu plak kat TV UK..isk isk...

Cuti sebulan nih di samping berehat dari kerja-kerja office yang tak pernah nya habis, aku ambik peluang kemaskini fail-fail (softcopy) dalam komputer /buat back up semua nota-nota ku ..sebab memang nak pakai semua nota untuk mengajar / buat design .... ye lah kan nak buat benda lain x boleh (Dr tak kasi buat kerja berat selama 3 bulan).....tapi pergi dapur aku boleh dah..cuma bab berkebun je belum boleh lagi..

Hehehe..kalau ku jadik jutawan kan best takyah keje tapi bulan-bulan duit masuk ribu riban ..duk umah best gak ek..Pagi berkebun tanam sayur + petik sayur utk makan..pastu masak ..pastu tengok TV ke atau membaca ke. pastu main facebook...menjahit ke..I luv gardening so much and I hope someday I'll have my own piece of land to grow my own organic vegetables...

Baju utk masuk keja nanti pun ku dah siap-siap gosok utk 3 minggu masa sebelum operate aritu..so nanti masuk keja nanti utk 3 minggu pertama x yah basuh baju + gosok baju...

Sakit Tekak

2010-10-21T13:00:00.010+08:00

From internet:

I just had surgery and my throat hurts, should I be concerned?

Answer:

Your throat hurts after surgery for two reasons.

First, you may be dehydrated, since you weren't allowed to eat or drink before surgery and you are allowed minimal food and fluids after surgery.

Second, during general anesthesia, an endotracheal tube is put into your mouth and down your throat, a process called intubation. This tube is then attached to the ventilator to help you breathe during surgery.

The tube can be irritating to the vocal cords, both during the surgery and during the insertion process.

What do I do about my sore throat?

Normal sore throat care including minimal speaking, drinking lots of fluids and over-the-counter remedies should do the trick within a few days. If your sore throat persists more than a week, consider consulting your surgeon or another doctor. Permanent throat or vocal cord injury is rare, but it is one of the risks of anesthesia.

===================================================================

Aku :

Ok...the problem I'm having now since the surgery has been with my throat...somehow during the intubation my uvulva (anak tekak) took a hit and is quite swollen and bruised at the bottom...Sakit dan perit masa nak makan (yang peliknya aku still berselera nak makan walaupun sakit tekak setiap kali nak makan - Seriously time nih roti bakar yang dah sejuk pun ku nampak sedap..kalau tak sebab sakit tekak nih mau 10 keping ku telan tapi sebab sakit tekak, mampu makan 3-4 keping je tu pun makan bersulam air)..Satu lagi yang pelik..luka kat perut dah kering dan semakin baik..tetapi sakit tekak ni la plak...Ingatkan perut yang sakit tapi tekak plak sakit.

Immediately lepas surgery memang husband cakap mulut aku penuh air liur + darah skit & apparently doc said darah tu mungkin sebab anak tekak ku terluka masa nak masuk endotracheal tube tuh...Masa sehari dua lepas surgery, anak tekak (uvulva) tu kelihatan putih dan macam kejung (memanjang) - setiap kali makan rasa nak tertelan je anak tekak tu..tapi masa tuh x perit tekak..la ni putih kat tekak dah berkurang..tapi jadik merah + perit tekak..aduilaaa....

Sekarang ni duk kumur air garam...Sbenarnya sakit tekak ku sekarang ni rasanya perit disebabkan luka tuh dan rasa sakitnya lain daripada sakit tekak sebab demam biasa...Aiseh nak tunggu luka pada anak tekak baik la pulakk..

Oprah’s Success Secrets Revealed | BrandMakerNews

How did a young girl born into poverty in rural Mississippi, rise to become the most influential woman in the world? While the odds of that happening may seem slim to none, Oprah Winfrey’s success proves that regardless of where you are from or what your socioeconomic status may be, you can still rise to the top.

We all know that Oprah, the media mogul, philanthropist, and entrepreneur continues to be the poster child for the highest level of success. But, what is the wisdom that fuels her path? What success secrets enable Oprah to set and accomplish goals that are beyond many of our wildest dreams?

BrandMakerNews dug deep into Oprah Winfrey’s own words to reveal 10 success secrets that will help you on your path as an entrepreneur. Let Oprah’s powerful quotes inspire you to shatter barriers in your way, as you work hard to build your own unstoppable brand.

Oprah’s Success Secrets Revealed: Ten Ways To Have Unprecedented Success…

1. Have A Clear Sense Of Purpose.

“As you become more clear about who you really are, you’ll be better able to decide what is best for you – the first time around.”

“I don’t think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself, and I had to make good.”

“I always knew I was destined for greatness.”

“You are built not to shrink down to less but to blossom into more.”

“Every time you suppress some part of yourself or allow others to play you small, you are in essence ignoring the owner’s manual your creator gave you and destroying your design.”

2. Be Thankful For What You Have.

“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.”

“You can have it all. You just can’t have it all at once.”

3. Live Fearlessly.

“I believe that every single event in life happens in an opportunity to choose love over fear.”

“I have a lot of things to prove to myself. One is that I can live my life fearlessly.”

“There’s no easy way out. If there were, I would have bought it. And believe me, it would be one of my favorite things!”

“I believe that uncertainty is really my spirit’s way of whispering, I’m in flux. I can’t decide for you. Something is off-balance here.”

“Challenges are gifts that force us to search for a new center of gravity. Don’t fight them. Just find a different way to stand.”

“I believe that one of life’s greatest risks is never daring to risk.”

4. Fall In Love With Learning.

“Books were my pass to personal freedom. I learned to read at age three, and soon discovered there was a whole world to conquer that went beyond our farm in Mississippi.”

“All these years I’ve been feeling like I was growing into myself. Finally, I feel grown.”

“I am a woman in process. I’m just trying like everybody else. I try to take every conflict, every experience, and learn from it. Life is never dull.”

5. Embrace the Moment.

“Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.”

“Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it.”

“Follow your instincts. That’s where true wisdom manifests itself.”

“Every day brings a chance for you to draw in a breath, kick off your shoes, and dance.”

“Energy is the essence of life. Every day you decide how you’re going to use it by knowing what you want and what it takes to reach that goal, and by maintaining focus.”

“You can take from every experience what it has to offer you. And you cannot be defeated if you just keep taking one breath followed by another.”

“I don’t believe in failure. It is not failure if you enjoyed the process.”

6. Make Excellence Your Goal.

“Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.”

“Excellence is the best deterrent to racism or sexism.”

“I feel that luck is preparation meeting opportunity.”

“I believe the choice to be excellent begins with aligning your thoughts and words with the intention to require more from yourself.”

“Be more splendid, more extraordinary. Use every moment to fill yourself up.”

“The key to realizing a dream is to focus not on success but significance – and then even the small steps and little victories along your path will take on greater meaning.”

7. Empower Those Around You.

“For everyone of us that succeeds, it’s because there’s somebody there to show you the way out.”

“I don’t think you ever stop giving. I really don’t. I think it’s an on-going process. And it’s not just about being able to write a check. It’s being able to touch somebody’s life.”

“Let your light shine. Shine within you so that it can shine on someone else. Let your light shine.”

8. Invest in Meaningful Relationships.

“The roses, the lovely notes, the dining and dancing are all welcome and splendid. But when the Godiva is gone, the gift of real love is having someone who’ll go the distance with you. Someone who, when the wedding day limo breaks down, is willing to share a seat on the bus.”

“I believe that [everyone] is the keeper of a dream – and by tuning into one another’s secret hopes, we can become better friends, better partners, better parents, and better lovers.”

“I’m so tired of the chairs. For me, it’s about getting out of the chairs and into the hearts of people’s lives. I want to expand Americans’ views of other people in the world.”

9. Be Comfortable Being You.

“Often we don’t even realize who we’re meant to be because we’re so busy trying to live out someone else’s ideas. But other people and their opinions hold no power in defining our destiny.”

“I’ve come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that’s as unique as a fingerprint – and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you.”

“It is confidence in our bodies, minds and spirits that allows us to keep looking for new adventures, new directions to grow in, and new lessons to learn – which is what life is all about.”

“I still have my feet on the ground, I just wear better shoes.”

10. Recognize The Power Of Your Brand.

“Now I accept that I’m a brand. Part of my own personal growth is recognizing that.”

“Playing small doesn’t serve me. The truth is, I want millions of people. I’m not one of those people who says, ‘Oh, if I change just one person’s life … Nope, not satisfied with just a few. I want millions of people!”

Armed with quotes and success secrets from Oprah Winfrey, one of the world’s richest and most powerful women, you can go out and blaze your own path to unprecedented success.

Be great!

Hari ini saya berkesempatan untuk melihat bagaimana 'Bidirectional Load Test dibuat.

Kenapa guna Bidirectional Load Test?
- Kaedah ujian ini digunakan bagi tapak yang mempunyai masalah 'site constraint' di mana 'set up' untuk maintained load test biasa tidak dapat dibuat disebabkan ruang yang terhad.

- Namun begitu, kaedah ujian ini adalah lebih mahal berbanding dengan kaedah ujian-ujian yang lain.

Ujian ini mengukur sejauhmana 'settlement' bagi pile (dalam kes ini cerucuk yang digunakan ialah bored pile). Settlement ini direkodkan oleh komputer melalui gauge-gauge yang dipasang pada main bar cerucuk.

Bidirectional - kerana satu plate ditolak ke atas dan satu lagi ditolak ke bawah (arah bertentangan (ini apa yang diberitahu kepada saya tapi saya kena baca method statement dulu untuk confirmkan betul atau tidak )

Beban dikenakan ke atas cerucuk sebanyak 2 kali Working load (seperti dalam spec.) dan bacaan settlement (dalam unit psi) diambil. Beberapa cycle ujian adalah diperlukan di mana setiap cycle adalah selama setengah jam dan bacaan settlement diambil setiap satu minit bagi setiap cycle tersebut.Bacaan settlement setiap satu minit yang direkodkan oleh komputer kemudiannya dibandingkan dengan bacaan yang sepatutnya (mengikut teori) dan sepatutnya perbezaan antara kedua-dua bacaan tersebut adalah tidak lebih drp 1% working load pada setiap minit tersebut.

Bacaan settlement antara komputer tersebut juga perlu dibandingkan dengan bacaan oleh 'survey' pada masa yang sama dan sepatutnya tidak terdapat perbezaan yang terlalu besar antara kedua-duanya.

It's My Life, not Yours

2010-08-11T21:35:00.010+08:00

I just wonder why some people just love to compare other people's life with their life....Sometimes it can be irritating when people keep on commenting such as..".why did you do that".."you should have done this"..."you should instead be doing this"..."if you did what I have done, you should have been like me or him/her...sigh..

They just don't get it don't they? Everybody's life is different from one another and not the same at all.. What may be good for you may not necessarily the best thing for me and vice versa...If you lead a happy and successful life, you should have been grateful and never look down on other people...Oh yeah,, you think that I am such a loser..so what..I don't care coz I am happy in my own standards and not yours...and my life planning is somehow different from yours, which I don't want to tell you of course and I know what is best for me, InsyaAllah.

Ok..something I would like to share from Mr. Azizi Ali - from one of his book

'Berwaspada terhadap Pemusnah Impian'

- Saya agak geli hati dengan sikap mereka. Selalunya orang yang menyatakan saya tidak tahu bagaimana untuk berseronoklah yang tidak tahu maksud sebenar perkataan tersebut. Selalunya orang yang menyatakan saya tidak menikmati keindahan hiduplah yang tidak berbuat apa-apa dengan kehidupan mereka.

- Masalah dengan keseronokan ialah kita mengukurnya dengan kayu pengukur kita sendiri. Tetapi kita lupa bahawa keseronokan adalah sesuatu yang subjektif. Apa yang menyeronokkan saya, mungkin membosankan anda dan sebaliknya.

- Saya memandang orang yang mendakwa saya tidak tahu bagaimana untuk menikmati kehidupan dengan pandangan yang serong. Saya tidak mengendahkan cakap mereka kerana mereka adalah seperti mentol 10 watt yang bising yang kononnya cahaya bintang adalah terlalu terang. Tetapi jika mereka mendesak juga, saya pun akan mula bertanya soalan-soalan berikut:

Pernahkah anda memandu pesawat Boeing 747 - Tidak
Pernahkah anda duduk di taman bunga selama lima jam hanya untuk melihat awan berlau - Tidak
Pernahkan anda berdoa kepada Tuhan kerana anda tahu Dia sedang melihat dan akan berada di situ dalam apa keadaan sekali pun? - Tidak
Pernahkan anda bersama si dia dan menyedari hakikatnya bahawa kalau segala kekayaan yang ada hilang esok, dia tetap berada di sisi anda? - Tidak

- Jika jawapan mereka semuanya 'Tidak', saya akan mengangkat kening dan berkata ' Anda tidak pernah melalukan semua ini dan anda cuba untuk mengajar saya bagaimana untuk menjalani kehidupan?

- Pada peringkat ini, mereka akan mula menjauhkan diri. Mungkin marah, mungkin benci dan ....

Nak tahu lebih lanjut -sila baca buku beliau.....

Keep Walking.....

Just to check this out......
The Organs of your body have their sensory touches at the bottom of your foot, if you massage these points you will find relief from aches and pains as you can see the heart is on the left foot.

Typically they are shown as points and arrows to show which organ it connects to.

It is indeed correct since the nerves connected to these organs terminate here.

This is covered in great details in Acupressure studies or textbooks.

God created our body so well... He made us walk so that we will always be pressing these pressure points and thus keeping these organs activated at all times.

So, keep walking...

TYPE A
You like harmony, peace and organization. You work well with others, and are sensitive, patient and affectionate.. Among your weaknesses are stubbornness and an inability to relax.

You're a rugged individualist, who's straightforward and likes to do things your own way. Creative and flexible, you adapt easily to any situation. But your insistence on being independent can sometimes go too far and become a weakness.

TYPE AB
Cool and controlled, you're generally well liked and always put people at ease. You're a natural entertainer who's tactful and fair. But you're standoffish, blunt, and have difficulty making decisions.

KNOW ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF HAVING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

DRINK WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH

It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven a its value. We publish below a description of use of water for our readers. For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese med ical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases:

Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, ga str itis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and men str ual diso rd ers, ear nose and throat diseases.

METHOD OF TREATMENT

1.. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 4 x 160ml glasses of water .....interesting

2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minutes

3. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.

4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours

5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day.

6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy life.

The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to cure/control/reduce main diseases:

1. High Blood Pressure - 30 days

2. Gastric - 10 days

3. Diabetes - 30 days

4. Constipation - 10 days

5. Cancer - 180 days

6. TB - 90 days

7. Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in the 1st week, and from 2nd week onward s - daily.

This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times.

It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life.

Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active...

This makes sense .. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals ...not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain...

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.

It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed . It will slow down the digestion.
Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer.. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks: Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting.
Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.

You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack..

Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.

60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up.

Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive...

5 Ways to Retire Before Age 40

2010-08-03T21:56:00.002+08:00

Picked this up from Yahoo!

by Luke Landes
Monday, August 2, 2010

Voluntary early retirement before the age of forty is not typical. Leaving work behind as early as possible to focus on other aspects of life is a popular goal, but most people will not achieve it.

In order to retire in your forties and still have the funds you need to finance all that you'd like to do, you need to create the right environment to foster extraordinary results with your money. Don't count on winning the lottery or selling the company you built in your basement to Google.

Those who leave the workforce before age forty compose a small percentage of the working population, just as Olympic-level swimmers are a small percentage of everyone who competes in the sport. To achieve in the Olympic Games you need to take several extreme actions. To retire early, you will have to do the same. These tips may help you generate enough money to retire before age forty.

Ignore what other people think. You'll need the right mindset. As you make choices that could lead you to extreme early retirement, you may face resistance from family and friends. The decisions you will need to make are often directly opposed with others' expectations. Find like-minded individuals whose advice and encouragement will help move you in the right direction.

Save as much as possible as soon as possible. This is the first of your unpopular decisions. You will need to sacrifice your spending at the beginning of your career in order to have a better chance of living the way you want when you want, with financial freedom, for a longer amount of time. To you, frugality should be elevated to an art form. Your friends may call you cheap, but you won't care because you are focused on your goal without distraction.

Earn as much as possible as quickly as possible. With more income, you can keep more money in high-yield savings accounts and investments. Those funds will be ready for your early retirement. While it's the amount you save that matters, you can significantly extend those savings by earning more. Work more hours or take an additional job or two. Olympic athletes train and practice constantly and this is the same intensity you need to achieve an early retirement.

Avoid fees while investing. While this concept is one part of saving as much as possible, it deserves its own mention. Most investments underperform index funds and you'll pay higher fees for those lackluster results. While some investments do beat the market, you won't know which investments will skyrocket until it's too late. Invest in index funds and make sure you have a sensible mix of asset classes that present a good chance of protecting you from down markets when you need the money you've invested.

Consider a new definition of retirement. You may still want to work in retirement to earn additional money, particularly if you can do work you enjoy. Consider a part-time job or even a full-time job with a non-profit organization aligned with your interests and values. Leaving the corporate world to work for an organization you care about can be exhilarating and you will enjoy the work. Extreme early retirement is an achievement most people will not accomplish, even if you put forth a good effort. Leaving the workforce behind before the age of forty is an extraordinary accomplishment and it requires dedication, intensity, and a willingness to live differently.

Smile for my 'Sawi'

2010-08-01T10:48:00.007+08:00

I planted some seeds of 'Sawi' in front of my house a few weeks ago....

....and today..it's time for me to pick up the fruits of my hard works... :-) :-)

I use these seeds...bought from supermarket

My green sawi :-) :-)

Freshly picked home-grown sawi for my kway teow soup...

I also planted this peanut-look-alike plant....I am waiting for it to multiply a lot and turning my lawn full with little yellow flowers...

My banana tree..thriving..Alhamdulillah..This is actually my 3rd attempt of planting a banana tree..2 attempts before have failed due to the existance of a very huge concrete boulders in the soil, which I removed later for my 3rd successful attempts..:-) :-)

Mumblings of an Engineer

2010-07-20T21:19:00.019+08:00

Oh...hari ini macam-macam perasaan ada...kecik ati ada...rasa nak marah pon ada...rasa down pon ada rasa demoralised pon ade...sabar ..sabar Ir. Ayu..

It seems that our team always being the easy target of blame...the guilty one by default ..

As I still have about 20++ years to work so if I get myself into trouble, I'm the one who's gonna face it for the next 20++ years..

If anything does go wrong...I dun want to be blamed... So better follows the rules by the books...There's no such thing as 'short cut' in achieving something especially when it involves safety...That's mean no compromise in matters of safety.

It seems that people never learn from past mistakes...

Quoting from a recent structural disaster's causes of failures as widely published in the media:-

1. Bahan dan kualiti hasil kerja yang tidak memenuhi spesifikasi;
2. Faktor reka bentuk yang tidak memadai;
3. Bumbung yang tidak dibina dengan sempurna;
4. Kawalan kualiti yang tidak dilaksanakan di tapak projek;
5. Pengawasan yang agak kurang ketika kerja-kerja pembinaan; selain
6. Kerja dilakukan secara tergesa-gesa turut menjejaskan kualiti s*******.

I especially dun like reason no.6 - kerja dilakukan secara tergesa-gesa ..bla bla..it seems to be going on and on and on and nobody cares...failure to plan is planning to fail as some says...

We are just doing our job...It is not easy doing the checking and all ...the headache is even more if doing the design and not many people want to be involved in this design stuff as it is very demanding and ties you down with liabilities. We always welcome people with great expertise to join us. Sadly not many people would like to take up this challenge as it is less glamorous and less powerful - why do you want to do complicated works and get blamed all the time when u can do a much easier job elsewhere with the same pay - as some says.

One of my lecturer used to say 'an engineer can become a manager but a manager cannot necessarily become an engineer'. I am proud to be an engineer and will always be...and I believe that an engineer should be an engineer first before anything else..

Dreams.....

2010-06-28T22:47:00.004+08:00

It has been quite some time since I updated this blog...I am not really in the mood of blogging lately, except for some blogwalking to my fav website, especially blogs about simple living / gardening etc..

I have a dream - I wanna have a house with a huge front/backyards for me to grow veggies and rear my own chicken for eggs and meat.....maybe in 10 years time..who knows? ...

At least, a little part of that dreams have come true for me...*grin*...

I also have a dream that someday my husband and I will design our own little house...of course with a swimming pool -> I have been dreaming a lot lately, am I? *grin*

And I have this dream...but I shall keep it for myself...*grin*

Picking a line from one of my fav blog -> Let's free ourselves from debt, clutter, stress or wanting too much..:-) Simplicity will liberate us from this world of overindulgence...

Pile Plug

2010-06-09T11:00:00.002+08:00

Oh..sebelum kulupa perkara ni..baik ku tulis sahaja di sini...

Didapati terdapat banyak kes di mana tiada terdapat provision of pile plugs di dalam BQ bagi spun piles.

Perxxxxxg hanya menunjukkan lebihan tetulang pra-tegasan yang dijadikan sebagai 'anchorage bars' bagi tetopi cerucuk di dalam perincian lukisan mereka.

Konsep ini adalah salah dan tuan/puan hendaklah menyemak perkara ini dan memastikan pile plug digunakan dan hendaklah juga memastikan item ini diambil kira di dalam butiran BQ.

Kesilapan terkini berlaku bagi xxxx. Arahan yang dikeluarkan kepada konxxxxxxr menunjukkan mereka tidak faham akan kegunaan pile plug ini.

VERY SHORT, MOST EFFECTIVE AND HOW TRUE...

30 second Speech by Bryan Dyson (CEO of Coca Cola)

"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them -

Work,

Family,

Health,

Friends

and Spirit

and you're keeping all of these in the Air.

You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.

But the other four Balls - Family, Health, Friends and Spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it."

WORK EFFICIENTLY DURING OFFICE HOURS AND LEAVE ON TIME

GIVE THE REQUIRED TIME TO YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS & HAVE PROPER REST

Penantian 20 hari yang sungguh.....

2010-06-01T19:00:00.010+08:00

Oh..kalau bab tunggu - menunggu nih...aku memang fail skit....iskkk.....so penantian lagi 14 hari ni (setelah tolak 6 hari lepas) memang buat aku tak senang.....Kekadang boleh sampai terfikir - kalau badan ni transparent kan ke bagus...senang nak tahu ape terjadi kat dalam ATAU...kalau badan boleh cakap kat kita kan senang apa yang berlaku kat dalam....heeeeeeee.....Ye la..kalau dah tahu..boleh la buat apa-apa langkah penjagaan diri ke kan....seperti banyakkan rehat ke..kurangkan kerja-kerja lasak ke..etc..

Penantian ini adalah penantian yang sama seperti dua tahun lepas selepas pergi scan ovum...So kali ni ada 4 biji (dulu ada 3 biji) dan aku decided to try naturally dulu..instead of IUI. Makan clomid about 3 weeks ago...dan Alhamdullilah ada response positive on my left ovary. Dr. Hamid pesan kalau test dapat positif nanti cepat - cepat datang balik ke klinik dia untuk monitoring sebab orang berkeadaan macam aku ni fragile sikit..kena jaga elok -elok /close monitoring kalau dah lekat.lagipun ada history miscarriage dulu kan..Kalau ikut cerita my officemate..dia dulu pon Dr. Hamid monitor sampai 32 weeks..pastu baru release untuk bersalin ke hospital......So right now I am counting days every day for the next 14 days sambil berdoa supaya cik 'P' tak datang..

So the next 14 days - rehat / doa / minum susu enfamama / makan makanan berkhasiat / jangan buat kerja lasak / tidur yang cukup..

Kalau cik 'P' datang jugak..I will start my second cycle..start makan clomid balik...yang penting usaha dan usaha hingga berjaya..lagipon banyak perkara yang aku dah selesaikan..so tahun ni dan seterusnya concentrate untuk baby...

7 Things to Stop Doing Now on Facebook

7 Things to Stop Doing Now on Facebook

by Consumer Reports Magazine
Wednesday, May 12, 2010

Using a Weak Password

Avoid simple names or words you can find in a dictionary, even with numbers tacked on the end. Instead, mix upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols. A password should have at least eight characters. One good technique is to insert numbers or symbols in the middle of a word, such as this variant on the word "houses": hO27usEs!

Leaving Your Full Birth Date in Your Profile

It's an ideal target for identity thieves, who could use it to obtain more information about you and potentially gain access to your bank or credit card account. If you've already entered a birth date, go to your profile page and click on the Info tab, then on Edit Information. Under the Basic Information section, choose to show only the month and day or no birthday at all.

Overlooking Useful Privacy Controls

For almost everything in your Facebook profile, you can limit access to only your friends, friends of friends, or yourself. Restrict access to photos, birth date, religious views, and family information, among other things. You can give only certain people or groups access to items such as photos, or block particular people from seeing them. Consider leaving out contact info, such as phone number and address, since you probably don't want anyone to have access to that information anyway.

Posting Your Child's Name in a Caption

Don't use a child's name in photo tags or captions. If someone else does, delete it by clicking on Remove Tag. If your child isn't on Facebook and someone includes his or her name in a caption, ask that person to remove the name.

Mentioning That You'll Be Away From Home

That's like putting a "no one's home" sign on your door. Wait until you get home to tell everyone how awesome your vacation was and be vague about the date of any trip.

Letting Search Engines Find You

To help prevent strangers from accessing your page, go to the Search section of Facebook's privacy controls and select Only Friends for Facebook search results. Be sure the box for public search results isn't checked.

Permitting Youngsters to Use Facebook Unsupervised

Facebook limits its members to ages 13 and over, but children younger than that do use it. If you have a young child or teenager on Facebook, the best way to provide oversight is to become one of their online friends. Use your e-mail address as the contact for their account so that you receive their notifications and monitor their activities. "What they think is nothing can actually be pretty serious," says Charles Pavelites, a supervisory special agent at the Internet Crime Complaint Center. For example, a child who posts the comment "Mom will be home soon, I need to do the dishes" every day at the same time is revealing too much about the parents' regular comings and goings.

Demotivated

2010-05-05T09:11:00.017+08:00

I am feeling a bit demotivated lately..I need something to recharge my spirit - a day or two escape to Terengganu in the next few week might help, I suppose.

I really wanna do my work, but there's so many obstacles in my path..whenever I want to do 'that thing' on my table...the long list of the steps need to be taken and the procedures to follow really demotivated me..sudahnya..letak tepi dulu..and it seems that no one can give me an exact solution to what I am gonna do. Having an experience of 'terkena' pada suatu masa dahulu....membuatkan saya seorang yang sangat berhati-hati lately kerana saya tidak mahu 'terkena' lagi...Kalau boleh, tak mahu dikenang lagi, sebab memang rasa sakit hati ini kalau dikenang..sudah-sudahlah..tapi saya mengambilnya sebagai satu pengajaran buat diri saya sendiri......Masa saya 'terkena' dulu sudahla kena menghadapinya sendirian tak ada guide (kebanyakan drp anda yang membaca blog saya ini masih belum mengenali saya pada masa itu kecuali rakan-rakan seuniversiti sahaja) - Saya pon baru setahun jagung menjadi 'career woman' waktu itu .....kalau nak dikenang kembali, pada masa itu saya sangat-sangat rasa susah hati - hanya tuhan aje yang tahu....Kalau ada sesiapa yang 'terkena' seperti saya itu lagi..sebenarnya saya pon tatau nak advise macamana sebab memang complicated lah.....nasib baik akhirnya ada seorang Hamba Allah yang baik hati ni membantu saya dan menunjukkan jalan keluar pada masa tu (dah pencen pun dia - semoga Allah merahmati dia selalu ..saya mendoakan semoga dia selalu mendapat perlindungan Allah..aminn).....

Berbalik semula kepada *benda yang di atas meja saya itu* , ''They' said that my group and I are among the first in arriving at that stage of xx..so they don't have enough experience to advise me. So I need to figure out how to do it accordingly by asking other people's opinions from other places here and there and use a very wise judgement. To make it worse, I need to check it thoroughly so that will be no incident of overpaying bla bla......ini memang sudah jadi akauntan betul nih....Sakit mataku + sakit kepala lagi.....

Lagi pulak.. some more people calling me non stop to ask whether I have done it or not...arghhh....Len kali kalu mau saya buat cepat..sila pastikan anda buat dengan teliti + lengkap semuanya + kemas dan teratur ya sebab saya pun ada banyak mende nak buat..Urusan - urusan saya sendiri nih pon ada banyak tergendala kerana nak setelkan org lain nyer urusan..So sila bantu saya dengan membuat kerja anda dengan betul supaya saya dapat membantu anda semula.. hehehehehe...

Losing My Sense of .....

2010-04-30T22:30:00.003+08:00

I noticed that ever since I was given the new job scope....I am getting far far away from my friend...
I am getting busier day by day that sometimes I am giving people a fake smile.... (sorry guys..I didn't meant to be unfriendly but I have too many things to be done in time). I need to get it done quickly so that other people will not be in trouble because of me.

It is impossible to please everyone but I tried my best to do as much as I could...but at the same time, I also need time and space for myself...

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY...

Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.

3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc., and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.

WHAT CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal,Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.

b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk, cancer cells are being starved.

c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells.To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).

e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine.. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water--best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrified and leads to more toxic buildup.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor.

Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.

ORANG IKHLAS ITU TERTINDAS?

2010-04-23T12:01:00.002+08:00

Dapat forwarded emel daripada kengkawan...bagus nih, utk inspirasi diri sendiri...

ORANG IKHLAS ITU TERTINDAS?
Jika kita memberi kebaikan kepada seseorang, kebaikan itu akan dibalas
walaupun yang membalasnya bukan orang yang kita berikan kebaikan itu.
Hakikat ini mengingatkan saya kepada satu perbualan yang berlaku sewaktu
saya mengendalikan program latihan beberapa tahun lalu di sebuah
organisasi.

“Saya tidak mempunyai apa-apa harapan lagi pada organisasi ini,” kata
seorang kakak berterus-terang.
“Mengapa?” balas saya.
“Organisasi ini dipenuhi oleh kaki bodek dan kaki ampu. Saya terseksa
bekerja secara ikhlas di sini. Tidak pernah dihargai, tidak ada ganjaran
yang wajar. Saya bukannya orang yang bermuka-muka. Tak pandai saya nak
ampu-ampu orang atas, Fokus saya kepada kerja sahaja.”

Kakak itu sebenarnya adalah peserta program yang paling senior. Telah
berpuluh tahun bekerja dalam organisasi tersebut. Itu adalah kali terakhir
dia mengikuti program latihan. Enam bulan lagi dia akan bersara. Kesempatan
yang diberikan kepadanya dalam sesi memperkenalkan diri itu telah
digunakannya sepenuhnya untuk meluahkan rasa kecewa dan marahnya sepanjang
berkhidmat di situ. Sungguh, dia kecewa sekali. Siapa tidak marah, jika
bekerja secara ikhlas dan gigih tetapi tidak pernah dinaikkan pangkat atau
mendapat kenaikan gaji?

Sewaktu rehat, sambil minum-minum dan berbual santai saya bertanya
kepadanya, “kakak punya berapa orang anak?”
Sengaja saya bertanya soal-soal “di luar kotak” agar ketegangan dalam sesi
sebelumnya dapat diredakan.
“Oh ramai encik…”
“Bagaimana dengan anak-anak kakak?”

Wah, saya lihat dia begitu ceria apabila mula menceritakan tentang
anak-anaknya. Boleh dikatakan semua anak-anaknya berjaya dalam profesion
masing-masing. Ada yang menjadi doktor, jurutera, pensyarah dan sebagainya.
Malah seorang anaknya telah menjadi hafiz.
“Kakak, boleh saya bertanya?”
“Tanyalah encik…” ujar kakak itu sambil tersenyum. Mendung di wajahnya
sudah berlalu. Dia begitu teruja bila bercerita tentang anak-anaknya.
Memang, semua anak-anaknya menjadi.

“Jika kakak diberi pilihan, antara anak-anak yang “menjadi” dengan naik
gaji, mana yang kakak pilih?”
Belum sempat dia menjawab, saya bertanya lagi, “antara kakak naik pangkat
dengan anak-anak berjaya dalam karier mereka, mana yang kakak pilih?”

Dengan cepat kakak itu menjawab, “hati ibu encik… tentulah saya pilih
anak-anak saya menjadi walaupun tidak naik gaji atau dapat pangkat.
Anak-anak adalah harta kita yang paling berharga!”

Saya tersenyum. Hati ibu, begitulah semestinya.
“Kakak, sebenarnya keikhlasan dan kegigihan kakak bekerja dalam organisasi
ini telah mendapat ganjaran…” kata saya perlahan. Hampir berbisik.
“Maksud encik?”
“Allah telah membalas dengan ganjaran yang lebih baik dan lebih kakak lebih
sukai. Bila kakak ikhlas bekerja dalam organisasi ini, Allah berikan kepada
kakak anak-anak yang menjadi.”
“Tidak pernah saya terfikir begitu encik…”

“Allah Maha Berkuasa. Ada kalanya takdir dan perbuatan-Nya terlalu misteri
dan rahsia untuk dijangkau oleh pemikiran kita. Tetapi yakinlah what you
give, you get back. Itu hukum sunatullah dalam hubungan sesama manusia.
Kebaikan yang kita buat akan kembali kepada kita. Yakinlah.”
“Walaupun bukan daripada seseorang atau sesuatu pihak yang kita berikan
kebaikan itu?”
“Maksud kakak?”

“Macam ni, saya buat kebaikan kepada organisasi tempat saya bekerja, tapi
Allah berikan kebaikan kepada keluarga. Pembalasan Allah bukan di tempat
saya bekerja, sebaliknya diberikan dalam keluarga saya. Begitukah encik?”
“Itulah yang saya katakan tadi, takdir Allah kekadang terlalu misteri.
Tetapi ketetapannya mutlak dan muktamad, siapa yang memberi kebaikan akan
dibalas dengan kebaikan. Dalam istilah biasa itu dipanggil golden rule!”

Kakak itu termenung. Mungkin memikirkan pertalian dan kaitan antara apa
yang berlaku dalam organisasi dengan familinya.
“Metafora atau analoginya begini. Katalah kita sedang memandu di satu jalan
yang mempunyai dua atau tiga lorong. Penuh sesak. Tiba-tiba sebuah kereta
yang tersalah lorong di sebelah memberi isyarat untuk masuk ke lorong kita.
Kerana simpati melihat dia terkial-kial memberi isyarat, kita pun beralah,
lalu memberi laluan untuk kereta itu masuk di hadapan kita…”

Saya berhenti seketika mengambil nafas sambil mencari reaksi. Saya lihat
kakak itu mendengar penuh minat. Dia meneliti metafora yang saya sampaikan
dengan begitu teliti.
“Kemudian kita terus memandu ke hadapan. Mungkin sejam kemudian atau
setelah berpuluh-puluh kilometer, tiba-tiba kita pula yang tersalah lorong.
Kita pula yang memberi lampu isyarat untuk masuk ke lorong sebelah. Soalnya
logikkah kalau kita mengharapkan kereta yang kita bantu sebelumnya memberi
laluan untuk kita?”

Kakak itu tersenyum dan berkata, “tak logik encik. Kereta yang kita bantu
tadi entah ke mana perginya.”
“Tapi ada tak kereta lain yang simpati dan memberi laluan untuk kita?’
“Pasti ada! Insya-Allah.”
“Ya, begitulah. Padahal kereta itu tidak pernah sekali pun kita tolong.
Tetapi Allahlah yang menggerakkan hati pemandunya untuk memberi laluan
kepada kita. Orang yang kita beri kebaikan, tidak ada di situ untuk
membalas kebaikan kita… Tetapi Allah menggerakkan hati orang lain, yang
tidak pernah merasa kebaikan kita untuk membalas kebaikan kita tadi.”

“Subhanallah!”
“Begitu dalam litar di jalan raya dan begitu jualah litar dalam kehidupan
manusia. Kita buat baik kepada A, tetapi kerap kali bukan A yang membalas
kebaikan kita tetapi B atau C atau D atau lain-lainnya yang membalasnya.
Inilah hakikat yang berlaku dalam kehidupan ini.”
“Kita tidak boleh kecewa bila keikhlasan kita dipersiakan?” tanya kakak itu
lagi. Lebih kepada satu respons minta diiyakan.

“Kakak, ikhlas sebenar tidak pinta dibalas. Tetapi Allah Maha Kaya dan Maha
Pengasih, siapa yang ikhlas akan diberi ganjaran walaupun mereka tidak
memintanya kerana setiap kebaikan itu akan dikembalikan kepada orang yang
melakukannya. Ia umpama bola yang dibaling ke dinding, akan melantun semula
kepada pembalingnya!”
“Selalunya saya dengar, orang ikhlas akan dibalas di akhirat.”
“Itulah balasan yang lebih baik dan kekal. Tetapi saya katakan tadi, Allah
Maha kaya, Allah mahu dan mampu membalas keikhlasan hamba-Nya di dunia
lagi.”

“Maksud encik?”
“Orang yang ikhlas akan diberi ketenangan dan kebahagiaan dalam hidup.
Anak-anak yang soleh dan solehah. Isteri yang taat atau suami yang setia.
Dan paling penting… hati yang sejahtera. Inilah kekayaan dan kelebihan yang
lebih utama daripada pangkat, gaji dan jawatan.”
“Jadi orang ikhlas akan terus ditindas, tidak dapat kenaikan pangkat atau
gaji? Bukan apa, saya terfikir kenapa nasib kaki ampu dan kaki bodek lebih
baik dalam organisasi. Mereka dapat naik pangkat!”

Giliran saya pula tersenyum.
“Tidak ada kebaikan yang akan kita dapat melalui jalan yang salah.
Percayalah, kalau benar mereka kaki ampu dan bodek sahaja… pangkat yang
mereka dapat akan menyebabkan mereka melarat. Gaji naik, tetapi ketenangan
hati menurun. Ingat apa yang saya kata tadi, what you give you get back…
Golden rule itu bukan untuk kebaikan sahaja, tetapi untuk kejahatan juga.
Kalau kita berikan kejahatan, kejahatan itu akan kembali semula kepada
kita. Kaki ampu, mungkin akan dapat anak yang pandai bermuka-muka. Kaki
bodek mungkin dibalas dengan isteri yang berpura-pura!” terang saya panjang
lebar.

“Jadi apa yang harus saya lakukan dengan baki masa perkhidmatan yang
tinggal tidak beberapa bulan lagi ni?”
“Bekerjalah dengan gigih. Walaupun mungkin bos tidak melihatnya, tetapi
Allah Maha Melihat. Bekerja itu satu ibadah. God is our “ceo”, kata orang
sekarang. Insya-Allah, satu hari nanti manusia juga akan diperlihatkan oleh
Allah tentang keikhlasan manusia yang lain. Jangan berhenti memberi
kebaikan hanya kerana tidak dapat penghargaan…”
“Maksud encik?”

“Jangan mengharap terima kasih daripada manusia atas kebaikan yang kita
buat kepadanya.”
“Kenapa?”
“Kita akan sakit jiwa!”
“Kenapa?”
“Kerana umumnya manusia tidak pandai berterima kasih. Lihatlah, kalau
kepada Allah yang Maha Memberi pun manusia tidak pandai bersyukur dan
berterima kasih, apalagi kepada manusia yang pemberiannya terbatas dan
berkala. Sedikit sekali daripada manusia yang bersyukur,” balas saya
mengulangi apa yang maktub dalam Al Quran.

“Tetapi Allah tidak berhenti memberi… “ kata kakak itu perlahan.
“Walaupun manusia tidak berterima kasih kepada-Nya. Sekalipun kepada yang
derhaka dan kafir, tetapi Allah terus memberi… Justeru siapa kita yang
tergamak berhenti memberi hanya kerana tidak mendapat penghargaan dan
ucapan terima kasih?”
“Ah, kita terlalu ego…”

Dan itulah kesimpulan perbualan yang saya kira sangat bermakna dan besar
impaknya dalam hidup saya. Saya terasa “diperingatkan” semasa memberi
peringatan kerana pada hakikatnya saya juga tidak terlepas daripada
lintasan hati oleh satu pertanyaan… orang ikhlas tertindas?

Tips menghalang jenayah

2010-04-02T23:48:00.000+08:00

Dapat ni masa merayau-rayau kat forum kegemaran:

Tips menghalang jenayah seperti yang diberi oleh Polis DiRaja Malaysia .

1. Jangan biarkan anak-anak tidur di ruang tamu seorang diri (Mereka mungkin menggunakan anak sebagai tebusan). -- Kes terbaru di Seberang takir dan batu 6

2. Kunci atau sorokkan semua pisau-pisau yang terdapat di dapur sebelum tidur (Kesemua kes kecurian di dapati pisau hilang dan menurut polis mereka akan mencari pisau dahulu sebelum mencuri bertujuan untuk melindungi diri mereka).

3. Sekiranya terdengar/terlihat paip air di luar rumah terbuka pada tengah malam (pukul 12 ke atas), jangan keluar rumah untuk menutup paip tersebut kerana ini adalah taktik terbaru mereka di mana mereka telah menunggu diluar pintu rumah untuk masuk -- Kes terbaru berlaku di Dungun dan Jalan Kamarudin

4. Beritahu anak-anak sekiranya hendak ke tandas (jika tandas jauh) di waktu tengah malam, kejutkan ibubapa untuk bersama mereka.

5. Jangan simpan barang-barang kemas di dalam almari baju (Cara lama...).

6. Bawa alarm kereta bersama semasa tidur, kalau terjaga tengah malam, cuba "on and off" kan balik untuk menakutkan pencuri (Menandakan kita sentiasa peka).

7.. Tekan butang merah alarm kereta anda jika anda mengesyaki pencuri sudah masuk ke dalam rumah.

8. Sekiranya terlihat orang asing yang mencurigakan di kawasan rumah anda, sila dapatkan plet no motor/kereta mereka (Selalunya mereka ini naik motor dan mereka ni biasanya berdua, setiap kali kita lalu depan mereka, mereka akan menundukkan kepala).

9. Pesan dengan jiran, sekiranya ada sesiapa yang datang ke rumah anda dan mengaku saudara anda bertujuan untuk mengambil barang-barang, jangan benarkan, beri nombor telefon pejabat kepada jiran supaya mereka boleh memaklumkan pada anda.

10. Semasa tidur, pastikan handphone anda berada di sisi atau pastikan juga Cordless Phone anda berada di sisi anda ataupun sambungkan satu extension dalam kamar tidur anda. Ini memudahkan anda membuat
panggilan kecemasan sekiranya anda terasa kehadiran pencuri di dalam rumah anda.

11. Adakan senarai nombor telefon kecemasan 999 seperti polis, bomba , 991 atau sebagainya. Pastikan nombor-nombor ini disimpan dalam handphone anda.. Kalau boleh, hafal nombor tersebut. Ini memudahkan
anda untuk membuat sebarang panggilan telefon.

12. Kalau berkemampuan, pasangkan alat pengesan kecurian di rumah atau automatik alarm.

13. Lampu porch & lampu belakang rumah sebaiknya jenis automatik ,ia akan menyala bila malam, baik semasa kita ada di rumah atau pergi makan angin.

14. Kalau perlu mengambil cuti panjang,sentiasa memberitahu jiran2 anda supaya mereka dapat membantu menyimpan surat dlm mail box. Peti surat yg penuh membantu pencuri menghidu ketiadaan tuan rumah.

15. Kalau kawasan anda kerap berlaku kecurian, buat permohonan rasmi dari Balai Polis berdekatan supaya ada anggota polis buat rondaan yang kerap di kawasan anda.

16. Kereta PROTON, MYVI dan beberapa model keluaran NAZA merupakan kenderaan yang paling mudah dicuri. Kalau kereta anda baru dibeli, sekurang-kurangnya anda perlu mengunci gear & stering sebelum tidur (Sebenarnya masih boleh dicuri, tetapi ia dapat membantu melambatkan pencuri). -- Kes terbaru Mydin Mall dan Batu burok

17. Kalau ada anak-anak perempuan, sebaik-baiknya pintu biliknya dikunci dari dalam (Sebab ada pencuri yg mengambil kesempatan seksual) dan anda perlu ada kunci pendua sekiranya berlaku kebakaran.

18. Sekurang-kurangnya simpan kayu hoki atau baseball di bawah katil dan dalam kenderaan anda untuk buat mempertahankan diri dari pencuri yang ganas.

19. Jangan letak kunci bawah pasu bunga/mail box/alang pintu/tepi tingkap bila keluar (Pencuri dah lama tau taktik ni...). Lebih selamat beri pada jiran yang kita kenal rapat.

20. Kalau menyewa di rumah baru, pastikan anda menukar padlock baru,kerana mungkin penyewa terdahulu
masih mempunyai kunci pendua.

21. Kurangkan pendedahan dan pergaulan anda dengan pekerja asing.

Trus*

2010-04-01T16:56:00.006+08:00

Kalau nak cerita pasal kekuda bumbung nih memang sampai bila tak abis-abis.....lagi-lagi sejak kebelakangan nih..ada je isunya..

Tapi perkara-perkara di bawah ni mesti kita ambik tahu:

1) Standard Specification for Structural Steel Work
2) Standard Specification for Pre-Fabricated Steel Roof Trusses
3) Standard Specification for Prefabricated Timber Roof Trusses
4) Senarai Pembekal Sistem Kekuda Bumbung
5) Arahan Tahun 2007
6) Arahan Tahun 2008
7) Arahan Tahun 2009
8) BQ description for roof truss - ini sangat sangat sangat penting untuk disemak...kebanyakan
isu berpunca daripada perkara ini. Kegagalan untuk menyemak perkara ini boleh dianggap sebagai kecuaian..jangan main - main :-)

Spec untuk timber roof truss mesti disertakan supaya penggunaan roof truss tidak terhad kepada steel cold formed sahaja tetapi juga meliputi timber roof truss.

Spec - spec seperti nombor 1 hingga 3 tuh kebiasaannya mesti ada dimasukkan ke dalam dokumen tender/dokumen kontrak....so mesti rajin dan ada kesungguhan untuk mencarinya dan tidak boleh mengharapkannya datang sendiri kepada kita / jatuh ke riba tanpa usaha..hehehehehehe...

Cerita-ceriti Precast

2010-04-01T15:45:00.002+08:00

....Precast component dikira sebagai proprietory system. Oleh itu, manufacturer perlu kemukakan Quality Assurance and Quality Control Report kepada Wakil P.P.

....Bagi projek konvensional perunding, R.E hendaklah mengadakan lawatan ke kilang dan verify QA and QC report tersebut (perunding x perlu minta laporan trial mix dan concrete cube drp precast manufacturer)....

Shrinking a City

2010-03-09T20:28:00.003+08:00

Baca ini tadi kat Yahoo News / Associated Press:

My thought :- Maybe selepas ni kita perlu memperkasakan kembali sektor pertanian..teringat lak aku kat my flatmate from China, Irene masa kat Surrey dulu..Dia tanya aku kenapa Malaysia kena import makanan spt beras dll dari luar dan tak tanam sendiri untuk cukupkan bekalan..Katanya kalau terjadi perang ke and negara-negara lain takmo jual camana rakyat kita nak makan..Aku terkedu dan memang tak dapat nak jawab soalan dia tu pada masa itu. Dia cakap kat china ada banyak sayur-sayur murah, fresh dan sedap even dia cakap lagi sedap drp yang kat UK.

Detroit wants to save itself by shrinking

By DAVID RUNK, Associated Press Writer David Runk, Associated Press Writer – Mon Mar 8, 4:33 pm ET

DETROIT – Detroit, the very symbol of American industrial might for most of the 20th century, is drawing up a radical renewal plan that calls for turning large swaths of this now-blighted, rusted-out city back into the fields and farmland that existed before the automobile.

Operating on a scale never before attempted in this country, the city would demolish houses in some of the most desolate sections of Detroit and move residents into stronger neighborhoods. Roughly a quarter of the 139-square-mile city could go from urban to semi-rural.

Near downtown, fruit trees and vegetable farms would replace neighborhoods that are an eerie landscape of empty buildings and vacant lots. Suburban commuters heading into the city center might pass through what looks like the countryside to get there. Surviving neighborhoods in the birthplace of the auto industry would become pockets in expanses of green.

Detroit officials first raised the idea in the 1990s, when blight was spreading. Now, with the recession plunging the city deeper into ruin, a decision on how to move forward is approaching. Mayor Dave Bing, who took office last year, is expected to unveil some details in his state-of-the-city address this month.

"Things that were unthinkable are now becoming thinkable," said James W. Hughes, dean of the School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University, who is among the urban experts watching the experiment with interest. "There is now a realization that past glories are never going to be recaptured. Some people probably don't accept that, but that is the reality."

The meaning of what is afoot is now settling in across the city.

"People are afraid," said Deborah L. Younger, past executive director of a group called Detroit Local Initiatives Support Corporation that is working to revitalize five areas of the city. "When you read that neighborhoods may no longer exist, that sends fear."

Though the will to downsize has arrived, the way to do it is unclear and fraught with problems.

Politically explosive decisions must be made about which neighborhoods should be bulldozed and which improved. Hundreds of millions of federal dollars will be needed to buy land, raze buildings and relocate residents, since this financially desperate city does not have the means to do it on its own. It isn't known how many people in the mostly black, blue-collar city might be uprooted, but it could be thousands. Some won't go willingly.

"I like the way things are right here," said David Hardin, 60, whose bungalow is one of three occupied homes on a block with dozens of empty lots near what is commonly known as City Airport. He has lived there since 1976, when every home on the street was occupied, and said he enjoys the peace and quiet.

For much of the 20th century, Detroit was an industrial powerhouse — the city that put the nation on wheels. Factory workers lived in neighborhoods of simple single- and two-story homes and walked to work. But then the plants began to close one by one. The riots of 1967 accelerated an exodus of whites to the suburbs, and many middle-class blacks followed.

Now, a city of nearly 2 million in the 1950s has declined to less than half that number. On some blocks, only one or two occupied houses remain, surrounded by trash-strewn lots and vacant, burned-out homes. Scavengers have stripped anything of value from empty buildings. According to one recent estimate, Detroit has 33,500 empty houses and 91,000 vacant residential lots.

Several other declining industrial cities, such as Youngstown, Ohio, have also accepted downsizing. Since 2005, Youngstown has been tearing down a few hundred houses a year. But Detroit's plans dwarf that effort. The approximately 40 square miles of vacant property in Detroit is larger than the entire city of Youngstown.

Faced with a $300 million budget deficit and a dwindling tax base, Bing argues that the city can't continue to pay for police patrols, fire protection and other services for all areas.

The current plan would demolish about 10,000 houses and empty buildings in three years and pump new investment into stronger neighborhoods. In the neighborhoods that would be cleared, the city would offer to relocate residents or buy them out. The city could use tax foreclosure to claim abandoned property and invoke eminent domain for those who refuse to leave, much as cities now do for freeway projects.

The mayor has begun lobbying Washington for support, and in January Detroit was awarded $40.8 million for renewal work. The federally funded Detroit Housing Commission supports Bing's plan.

"It takes a true partnership, because we don't want to invest in a neighborhood that the city is not going to invest in," said Eugene E. Jones, executive director of the commission.

It is not known who might get the cleared land, but with prospects for recruiting industry slim, planners are considering agricultural uses. The city might offer larger tracts for sale or lease, or turn over smaller pieces to community organizations to use.

Maggie DeSantis, a board member of Community Development Advocates of Detroit, said she worries that shutting down neighborhoods without having new uses ready is a "recipe for disaster" that will invite crime and illegal dumping. The group recently proposed such things as the creation of suburban-style neighborhoods and nature parks.

Residents like Hardin want to keep their neighborhoods and eliminate the blight.

"We just try to keep it up," he said. "I've been doing it since I got it, so I don't look at nobody trying to help me do anything."

For others, Bing's plans could represent a way out.

Willie Mae Pickens has lived in her near east-side home since the 1960s and has watched as friends and neighbors left. Her house is the only one standing on her side of the street.

"They can buy it today. Any day," said Pickens, 87, referring to city officials. "I'll get whatever they'll give me for it, because I want to leave."

(This version corrects that Younger is past executive director of group, since she left it last week. It also corrects that renewal work money was granted in January, instead of last month.)

Masalah - masalah Yang Biasa Dalam Pembinaan

2010-03-09T11:33:00.007+08:00

Hari ini nak menulis pasal perkara-perkara yang sering di'detect' dalam pembinaan - untuk rujukan sendiri;

1) ...mendapati ujian 'trial mix' tidak dijalankan mengikut spesifikasi dari segi 'current margin',
bilangan kiub dan 'age of test'.

2) ....memaklumkan bahawa xxx tidak memasang tetulang seperti dalam lukisan pembinaan..tetulang
yang dipasang di tapak adalah 16T20 sedangkan dalam lukisan, bilangan tetulang besi
adalah 20T20.

3) ....mendapati keputusan ujian kiub konkrit diuji pada 9 hari dan 30 hari. Keputusan ujian ini
adalah 'in - valid'. Selain daripada itu, keputusan ujian yang 'valid' tidak dibuat analisis.

4) ....mengkehendaki xxx menjalankan analisis keputusan ujian kiub yang mematuhi 3 keadaan
iaitu keputusan individu, kumpulan dan 'statistical analysis for particular batch'.

5).....Surat daripada A mengemukakan 'method statement' for 'post drilled starter bar untuk tangga
B . A mengeluarkan surat tersebut setelah didapati xxx tidak meletakkan 'starter bar' untuk
tangga B.

6)...dukacita diperhatikan, pihak tuan telah melaksanakan kerja-kerja membina dinding batu-bata tanpa membina 'horizontal and vertical stiffener' terlebih dahulu. Amalan pihak tuan untuk membina 'stiffeners' selepas mendirikan batu-bata telah menghasilkan 'stiffeners' yang tidak berkualiti. Pihak tuan diarah untuk meroboh dan membina semula ''horizontal dan vertical stiffeners' yang tidak menepati spesifikasi.

Safer, healthier food?

2010-02-20T16:14:00.005+08:00

Today I spent the afternoon watching a very good documentary about food :

Tried googling for this documentary and found out that it is listed as one of the 5 final nominees for best documentary in the upcoming 82nd Academy Awards this coming March 2010.

You can get more info about this documentary by visiting wikipedia at this link.

An interesting fact about this film is that the film took three years to make and the film Director Kenner claims that he spent large amounts of his budget on legal fees to try to protect himself against lawsuits from industrial food producers, pesticide and fertilizer manufacturers, and other companies criticized in the film (source : wikipedia)

One of the interesting points that I picked up from this film is the Kevin Michale Kowalcyk case. Another interesting note is that how a chicken rearer developed an antibiotic allergy due to rearing chicken fed/injected with antibiotic...no wonder so many people develop so many allergies nowadays i. e nut allergies, chicken allergies, antibiotic allergies etc..the culprit is form the food we ate which comes from the so called modern agriculture practices and new food technologies...

The Challenge?

2010-02-19T22:50:00.005+08:00

This afternoon, my superior asked me whether I would like to take up a challenge. I don't know whether I am able to take it up. Yes, I am honoured that my boss have the faith in me but, at the same time, I am bugged by the question of whether I really wanna fight another battle. I have fought so many battle in my life before that sometimes I feel tired and just wanna take a break. Everyday is like a battle for me, to live on and to survive.

I told her/him that if I am to be given the so called challenge, I need to be free of other responsibilities so that I can concentrate / give 100% attention for the challenge. I am going to think hard this weekend whether I am really serious to go ahead or should I just back off (can I actually back off? hahahaha).....

Ya Allah, give me the strength and guidance of what shall I do....

Simple Yet Functional and Effective

2010-02-06T13:14:00.019+08:00

- Sekadar peringatan untuk diri saya sendiri-

Semasa kita di sekolah dahulu dan juga lah sehingga sekarang (periksa PTK, master dll), setiap peperiksaan yang kita ambil semestinya mempunyai had masa. Karangan-karangan yang dibuat untuk peperiksaan juga selalunya mempunyai had jumlah bilangan perkataan (kecuali jika kita seorang penulis novel yang mempunyai masa berbulan-bulan menulis novel di rumah). Had masa dan had bilangan perkataan ini bukan suka-suka sahaja diadakan tetapi ianya adalah untuk mengajar kita tentang penggunaan masa.

Saya teringat semasa salah satu kelas yang saya hadiri semasa di Surrey dahulu di mana salah seorang pelajar bertanya boleh kah menjawab soalan yang diberikan dengan menggunakan cara kerja satu lagi yang ternyata lebih panjang dan berbelit. Jawab Prof tersebut, ya jawapannya mungkin betul tetapi kenapa kita hendak menyusahkan diri dengan membuang masa dan tenaga dengan menggunakan jalan yang susah dan berlebih-lebih tadi sedangkan jawapan yang dikehendaki adalah 'straight to the point' berpadanan dengan markah diperuntukkan. Lebih baik tenaga kita digunakan untuk menjawab soalan lain pula. Jika kita hanya membuat satu kerja itu sahaja, ya mungkin kita ada banyak masa untuk menumpukan perhatian kepada prkara itu sahaja tetapi pada zaman ini di mana masa itu adalah emas, kita sememangnya mempunyai banyak perkara yang hendak diselesaikan dalam satu-satu masa.

Begitu juga dengan tesis, laporan, assignment dan sebagainya, semuanya mempunyai tempoh masa tertentu untuk disiapkan juga had jumlah perkataan. Sekiranya kita terlebih perkataan atau mukasurat, lebihan perkataan dan mukasurat-mukasurat 'assignment itu tadi tidak akan dibaca/dikira untuk pemarkahan (malah di sesetengah tempat, akan ditolak markah pula ) dan kita sebenarnya yang rugi kerana masa yang telah digunakan tadi sepatutnya digunakan untuk menyelesaikan perkara-perkara lain.

Saya kurang gemar menokok tambah, menamba perisa dan menambah format yang tidak perlu kepada sesuatu perkara yang dibuat yang akhirnya kita sendiri yang jadi stress kerana kerja yang sepatutnya senang telah menjadi susah... tidakkah ini namanya menyusahkan diri sendiri?

Ya, mungkin niat asal adalah baik iaitu ingin mencantikkan lagi kerja yang dibuat itu tetapi apa gunanya sekiranya daripada 10 kerja yang sepatutnya disiapkan, hanya satu kerja sahaja yang siap dengan teramatlah cantik tadi tetapi yang lagi 9 amat buruk atau tidak siap langsung - kita masih lagi akan dimarahi untuk 9 kerja yang tidak siap tadi dan 1 kerja yang teramat sempurna tadi terus dilupakan) . Mungkin ianya adalah suatu 'culture' ingin 'impress' atau menguji kreativiti/keupayaan diri (test power?) sendiri.. entahlah...Selagi ianya tidak menyusahkan saya atau melibatkan penggunaan masa saya, mungkin saya tak peduli anda ingin bertapa menghabiskan masa untuk menyiapkannya sehingga menjadi berjela-jela tetapi sekiranya saya pun hendak diheret sama dalam permainan masa anda, mungkin saya akan sedikit 'concern'.

Bagi saya cukup kalau sesuatu perkara itu dibuat dengan kemas, tepat, berfungsi, mengikut kehendak yang ditetapkan dan mengikut format yang diberi (tak perlu ditokok tambah melainkan kita ada terlalu banyak masa terluang tetapi saya rasa kebanyakan drp kita memang selalu kekurangan masa), tetapi yang paling penting..ianya disiapkan mengikut kehendak dalam masa yang sepatutnya dan tidak menyusahkan orang lain pula.

Cameron Highland 31 Januari 2010

2010-02-04T11:06:00.008+08:00

My husband and I went to Cameron Highlands on the 31st January 2010 (Sunday), with our new silver 'sweetheart', via Simpang Pulai route.

I wanted to take a break from my ever hectic working life, so Cameron Highland seemed to be the perfect place to chill out and relax (the truth is that I actually wanted to buy some lily plants, specifically African Lily and Calla Lily to add into my existing lily collections).

So here are the pictures :-) :

- Buying some veggies at Kea Farm

- African lilies aka Agapanthus aka Lily of the Nile (the purple/blue flowering lily in this picture), but I didn't buy it here, coz the cheapest price is RM 15.00 here. I bought the African lilies at Brinchang Pasar Tani instead.

- This uncle sells sweetcorn cheaply here at Kea Farm. Even though the corns are a bit smaller, they are fresh and sweet!!

- The corns

- Dried fruits

- At Pasar Tani Brinchang (in front of Brinchang Police Station), buying 2 African Lilies (1 white flowering and another on is purple/blue flowering). 2 African lilies for RM20.00

- Orchids at the same stall where I bought African lilies. I didn't buy any orchids though coz I think orchids are much harder to take care of compared to lilies ...

- Roses at the entrance of Cactus Valley..I like roses but I think I am not good at taking care of them..I am not ready to commit myself to planting roses yet..better stick to lilies at this moment..hehehehe

- Lilies at the entrance of Cactus Valley. I didn't buy any of these since I already have these colour in my collections. These flowering lilies costs Rm 30 - 35 each while the bulbs without flower in the pot costs RM 18.00 each. Bulbs (red and orange) are also sold for RM10.00 for two bulbs here.

I also managed to dropped by at Uncle Sam Nursery where imported lilies are being sold at RM25.00 each. I didn't buy any though since most of the lilies were not flowering at the time of my visit, so it was difficult for me to figure out the colour of the lilies..maybe next time I will come again..

- Salads at Taman Agro Tourism/Big Red Strawberry Farm situated near Cactus Valley..

4 Must-Know Restaurants Secrets!

2010-01-30T11:26:00.001+08:00

I like this article from Yahoo Health:

4 Must-Know Restaurants Secrets:

Secret #1: Don’t get “supersized”
Sure, it feels like you’re getting a bargain because you’re getting proportionately more food for proportionately less money. But a “value meal” is only a value for two sets of people: the corporations that make the food and the corporations that make liposuction machines and heart stents. Because food is so inexpensive for manufacturers to produce on a large scale, your average fast-food emporium makes a hefty profit whenever you supersize your meal—even though you’re getting an average of 73 percent more calories for only 17 percent more money. But you’re not actually buying more food. You’re buying more calories. And that’s not something you want more of.

Secret #2: Remember, the waiter is a salesperson
A 2005 study published in the Journal of Retailing and Consumer Services found that you’re more likely to order a side dish when the server verbally prompts you. (“Do you want fries with that?”) Restaurants know this, and now you know it, too. When the waiter makes a suggestion, remember his job is not to make you happy. His job is to extract money from your wallet and insert fat in its place.

Secret #3: Don’t get too excited
You eat out all the time. A 2008 study in the International Food Research Journal found that people are less likely to make healthy restaurant choices when they feel that they’re dining out for a “special occasion.” And as we said, dining out used to be special. But before you head out to your next meal, really take stock of how many times you’ve eaten out this week. If you’re eating every meal at home and dining out truly is a once-a-week splurge, then don’t worry about it so much. But if you’re like most of us, eating out is probably more like a once-a-day splurge. And if that’s the case, remember, there’s nothing special here. Eat smart today because you’ll have to do it again tomorrow.

Bonus tip: Download our free Eat This, Not That! guide to shopping once and eating for a week—and save calories, time, and money!

Secret #4: Start small
Here’s the good news: No one is going to stop you from ordering seconds. So be like any good businessperson, and start small. Here’s exactly how expensive it really is whenever you go for the “bargain”:

7-Eleven: Gulp to Double Gulp Coca-Cola Classic: 37 cents extra buys 450 more calories.
Cinnabon: Minibon to Classic Cinnabon: 48 more cents buys 370 more calories.
Movie theater: Small to medium unbuttered popcorn: 71 additional cents buys you 500 more calories.
Convenience store: Regular to “The Big One” Snickers: 33 more cents packs on 230 more calories.
McDonald’s: Quarter Pounder with Cheese to Medium Quarter Pounder with Cheese Extra Value Meal: An additional $1.41 gets you 660 more calories.
Subway: 6-inch to 12-inch Tuna Sub: $1.53 more buys 420 more calories.
Wendy’s: Classic Double with Cheese to Classic Double with Cheese Old Fashioned Combo Meal: $1.57 extra buys you 600 more calories.
Baskin Robbins: Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, Kids’ Scoop, to Double Scoop: For another $1.62, you’ve added 390 calories.

The bottom line on all this? For just a hair more than 8 bucks, you’ve bought yourself an additional 3,620 calories. If you ate each of these once a week, and you were to switch to the smaller size each time—again, still all your favorite foods, just in a more reasonable size—you’d save about $417 a year. It’s not going to buy you a new car, but it could put you on a plane to the Bahamas. But far more important than that is what it will mean to your waistline, because in saving that $417, you’ll also save 188,240 calories in a year—enough to shave a whopping 54 pounds of flab off your body! (Hey, take the 400 bucks and buy some new pants!)

Bad Timing..Bad Decision

2010-01-22T21:45:00.003+08:00

I especially don't like to make any decision when my mind is in exhaustion. This is because when we are tired we tend to overlook certain thing, we tend to rush into things and this can lead to bad decision or mistakes that we will regret later on.

When we are tired, we can be easily manipulated and influenced and this can jeopardise our decision making. That is why it is important that we have enough rest and be given some time to think and not being pushed in the last minute (no matter what the reason is).

I am Not a SuperWoman

2010-01-21T19:49:00.005+08:00

I am feeling so exhausted lately..There are so many things to do, but I don't have that much time to get it all done. I have 13 on-going projects at the moment. So many things to do,,but so little time and energy to do it all..

I don't know whether I can survive all these..I pray to Allah to give me the strength and courage to endure the challenges ahead..Just imagine..13 projects? 22 working days divided by 13 projects - meaning that I only have about 1.6 days on average per month to look into every projects.

But life goes on...sigh...

Monyok vs Ceria

2010-01-18T21:20:00.015+08:00

Uh arini aku banyak betul ke sana ke mari....pi jumpa 3 team arini ...Team apa? biarlah rahsia...

First team yang aku jumpa..macam biasa....semuanya ok ..ada senyuman...Tapi first team nih aku suka coz they are very professionals in their works, listen to our problems and always help us all when we need it most. Their help really made our working life very-very much easier..and for that I kind of feeling guilty if i can't attend to their request.

Second team...ceriaaa and humble.....wahhh yang ini aku memang suka. Kalau ada 100 urgent request (ini memang selalu lah aku dapat...segera.segera dan segera) utk aku tolong..this will be on the top of my list (as well as the first team above)..yo la..they never kerek tak tentu pasal to people lorr..

Last team, macam ade sedikit monyok.. actually memang selalu lah monyok and macam ada sikit kerek...nak kata depa ada banyak problem, team-team lain pon ade problem masing-masing jugak...tatau apesal..nak kata pms..majoriti lelaki semuanya..hahaha....but aku kena la profesional so buat la walaupon ada macam sikit kelat ahahaha... But still, seperti yang ku kata di atas, kalau ketiga-tiganya request for help urgently at the same time (same urgency, same time, same case )..well, think for yourself. Bukannya nak kata aku pilih kasih, but like it or not, this is human psychology and we live in a world full of humans, not robots.....Bukannya nak suruh orang lain bodek aku pon, tapi, a simple good gesture/manners etc makes the difference...We are in the same team, we have the same ownership, so we must work as a team la kan?

Anyway, dulu ade la sorang hamba Allah ni pernah cakap kat aku pasal puji-memuji aka bodek nih:-

Katanya ''well, nak masuk syurga pon kita kena selalu puji-pujian to Allah dan Rasulullah SAW, selain daripada buat ibadah-ibadah lain yang wajib kan. '' Selawat dan puji-pujian ini yang akan membantu menambahkan sedikit timbangan kita sekiranya ianya cukup-cukup makan sahaja..it's kind of a special extra thing..and best of all, it is free of charge.

Aku - no comment : saja aje nak mencatatkannya di sini.

Serangan - serangan Kewangan

2010-01-14T13:57:00.025+08:00

Baru aje lepas dapat call drp *** bank tadi..They want to offer me to take up an Islamic Personal Loan....Luckily I am in an energetic mood today and I don't need a personal load anyway, so I said No No No!!! It seems that every month I am getting calls from these leeches. If I ever wanted to take a personal loan, I know where I should go to and I don't need such invitations.

Urghhh how I hate such calls....I hate salesperson....We live in such a world where people are so desperate to take our hard earned money....and for WHAT? So that they can have holidays here and there?..buy gifts to their girlfriends, have a comfort life but then it is US who have to work hard for the money. Do they ever know how much I have sacrificed to get what I want, to be what I am now? I worked hard, always came back late and tired... And they simply want to take my hard earned money from me? Everyone has their own problem but don't ever make use of other people to get away from your own created problems. You are the one who find troubles, so why do I have to solve it for you?

As my work also happens to protect public's interest and taxpayer's money, I have also learned that in engineeering (this applies in everyday life as well) you have to prove your claims, and in engineering it is either by calculations or by test. FULL STOP. Salesperson always claims that this method or this material is good..imported from here and there..well everyone can give claims like that even a six year old kid can also say that, but how do you justify such claims? You have to give the proof to support your statement . If such proofs is not important then why the hel* Terzaghi or Bernoulli or Einstein cracks their head deriving formulas to prove that their claims is right?. Don't ever enter an agreement if you can't deliver your promises later. Excuses such as..ohh this is not available here..so I can't do it..bla bla bla...helloo...the agreement has stipulated what was required, and you have agreed to that, so why did you enter an agreement in the first place only to say that you can't do it later on? I don't care how you are going to price it or get it for me whether from planet Mars or Pluto, BUT you have promised to get it in the first place. If only you said that you can't do it before you enter the agreement, then I will just find another person who can do it for me and not going into such hassles with you.

My new year's resolution? Say no more often, love myself, my family, my good friends much better and be a stronger, wiser and better person.

Cuti

2010-01-13T12:21:00.005+08:00

Oh ..hari ini aku cuti sebab ada hal penting nak diuruskan..tapi pagi ini sempat lagi aku baca buku Azizi Ali - Jutawan Dari Planet Jupiter. Memang seronok baca buku nih..aku dah berulang-ulang kali baca pun masih lagi rasa seronok nak baca sebab ianya penuh dengan pengajaran dan peringatan untuk diri sendiri juga..

So, ini ulasan dan ringkasan drp apa yang aku baca from buku Jutawan dari Planet Jupiter tu...

"Utamakan Keluhuran"

-Ketika muda, kita mempunyai ramai idola dan meniru mereka yang dikagumi itu, sebagi contoh, kita membeli pakaian, cermin mata dan sebagainya yang sama seperti digunakan oleh idola tersebut supaya kita kelihatan seperti idola tersebut.

-Tetapi setelah beberapa lama kita akan tersedar yang kita mengagumi mereka bukan kerana pakaian atau rupa paras tetapi kerana identiti meraka yang tersendiri, iaitu sifat, keberanian, bakat serta kecekalan mereka, bukannya gaya mereka. Oleh itu sebenarnya, nilai yang kita hormati ialah sebenarnya keluhuran.

- Apabila tersedar, kita tidak lagi terikat kepada dunia kebendaan. Kita tidak memerlukan benda yang remeh temeh dan sebenarnya kita hanyalah memerlukan benda yang boleh membuat kehidupan lebih selesa dan bermakna.

- Sebagai contoh, kita mungkin terpikat dengan rupa paras dan gaya isteri/suami kita pada peringkat awal Tetapi selepas itu hati budi yang menyebabkan hubungan hubungan berkekalan. Kita dikasihi kerana sifat-sifat yang ada pada diri kita dan bukan disebabkan oleh jenis kereta yang kita pandu.

- Tetapi ini bukan bermakna kita boleh berbuat sesuka hati kita, sebagai contoh memakai pakaian yang koyak rabak.. Kita mesti berpakaian sesuai dengan masa dan keadaan.

"Usah Beli Aksesori Kereta"

- Aksesori kereta yang mahal hanya berjaya mengagumi seorang sahaja, iaitu tuan punya kereta sahaja. Orang lain tidak peduli dengan itu semua, bahkan ianya membuatkan kereta itu menjadi semakin sukar untuk dijual. Kereta Kancil adalah tetap Kancil dan tidak akan dapat diuabh menjadi kereta yang dapat memecut laju.

" Beli Semasa Kenyang"

- Komples Beli Belah menawarkan pelbagai godaan.

- Kita hendaklah senaraikan dahulu barang yang hendak dibeli danjangan peduli dengan barang yang lain - pejamkan mata dan pergi dari situ.

- Jangan membeli belah semasa kita lapar, dahaga atau letih kerana ini akan melemahkan ketahanan diri dan membuatkan kita terpengaruh.

" Ikuti Nasihat Socrates"

- Socrates, iaitu seorang ahli falsafah Yunani terkenal suka berjalan-jalan ke kedai-kedai dan melihat barang-barang yang dijual, tetapi beliau tidak pernah beli apa-apa.

- Katanya ' Saya sentiasa kagum dengan banyaknya barang yang saya tidak perlukan'.

- Lebih daripada 90% daripada barang di pasaran sebanarnya kita tidak perlukan.

- Jika kita spend duit titik peluh kita untuk barang-barang yang tak perlu tersebut sebenarnya kita adalah zalim kepada diri sendiri, keluarga dan orang lain.

- Membeli barang-barang tak berguna tersebut hanya mengalakkan pengilang membuat lebih banyak lagi benda tak berguna.

Garang tapi Baik

2010-01-12T21:02:00.003+08:00

Kebanyakan orang akan mengeluh jika mendapat ketua atau bos yang garang ataupun jika berurusan dengan orang yang garang. Pada saya, adalah lebih baik dia garang tetapi bertanggungjawab dan dapat melindungi kebaikan kita bersama dan dapat melindungi kita daripada melakukan kesilapan yang tidak sepatutnya.

Kadang-kadang orang yang kelihatan baik, dengan tutur kata yang lembut, pujuk rayu yang manis adalah lebih merbahaya kerana dia mungkin akan menjerat kita tanpa kita sedari, yang akhirnya akan mendatangkan musibah buruk kepada kita di kemudian hari. Tutur kata dan janji-janji yang manis seringkali mendatangkan rasa kasihan dalam diri kita sehingga kita alpa dan leka yang memungkinkan orang lain mengambil kesempatan terhadap rasa kasihan kita tadi.

Orang yang garang tetapi baik ini sebagai contoh nya seperti ibu kita sendiri, walau segarang mana pun ibu kita, dia sebenarnya amat sayangkan kita dan ingin melindungi kita daripada sebarang bahaya.

Saya tidak kisah dimarahi seandainya marah itu dapat mengelakkan saya daripada terjebak dalam masalah yang lebih rumit lagi. Adalah lebih baik masalah diselesaikan dengan lebih awal daripada akhirnya menjadi barah yang memakan diri sendiri di kemudian hari.

*PS - tulisan di atas adalah sekadar pendapat saya dan tiada kaitan dengan sesiapa*

Bengang.....

2010-01-12T17:26:00.003+08:00

Aku tengah bengang gila sekarang nih.....pasalnya ada sesetengah orang yang tak paham-paham apa yang kita komen.....kita komen lain dia pi jawab pasal lain..tak paham bahasa melayu kut. Dah la keje haku banyak gila.....bukan nak kena layan dia sorang je...berapa kali laaa aku nak kena komen keje dia nih ha?...eiiiii....

Ni aku tengah review balik apa yang dia jawab pasal komen-komen yang kitaorang put forward sebelum nih. Ada la dalam 23 items yang kitaorang comment sebelum ni. Agaknya depa ingat kitaorang ni goyang kaki je kat opis kut.....tak check semua nih.......helloooo...we are professionals as well hokay....we check very thoroughly ok!!

Keje kitaorang kat sini memang banyak sebenarnya..keje hat ni pon sebenarnya sepatutnya bukan opis aku nyer keje tapi kami tolong checkkan setelah dapat request from the project manager who called our office, personally asking for the favour...so walau pon sibuk gila...kami tetap luangkan sikit masa untuk tolong check.

Bercakap pasal masa ni..bos aku memang seorang yang particular pasal masa becoz dia pon tersangatlah bz. Even kalau kita anak buah dah janji nak discuss ngan dia pada pukul sekian-sekian dan kita lewat..dia akan cakap sorry..cannot entertain..because it is not fair for him to wait. He has got other things to do ... betul jugak kan..bukan senang kita nak luangkan masa..bila dah luangkan masa orang lain tak appreciate masa kita plak....tak fair la kan...time is money...

Gardening and such

2010-01-10T15:28:00.007+08:00

For the past few weeks, I have been smitten by the gardening bug ..lololol...For this, I must thank my dear hubby who has been patiently accompanying me to nurseries, whether be it in Sg. Buloh, Kg. Melayu Subang or even just in front of Tesco Shah Alam.

My latest flower addiction is Amaryllis (also known as Belladonna Lily)... These three amaryllis were bought from Lot no. 61 nursery in Kg. Melayu Subang this afternoon, for Rm. 50.00. I have been eyeing these amaryllis since last week but only manage to get it today. I just can't help falling in love with amaryllis

I also managed to buy a few more flowers, such as Japanese Rose, heliconia etc....

-Heliconias

- Canna lilies

My First Ever Bread Making Attempt!!

2009-11-08T21:53:00.005+08:00

Remember my breadmaker which I bought a few months ago? Well, it has safely arrived and I had the opportunity of trying it out for the first time today.

Here's the result:

Tadaaaa!!!!

Not bad, huh, for a first timer (even though I am using a machine..hik hik!!)

I can't resist the temptation of eating my home made bread......

Managed to eat 2-3 slices tonite....will bring some tomorrow for my PTK's briefing....

Persiapan Minda

2009-11-01T12:20:00.009+08:00

Setelah sebulan lebih berada di tempat bertugas baru, saya sudah sedikit sebanyak mengetahui rutin kerja di sini dan sedikit sebanyak saya perlu mempersiapkan minda untuk bekalan pada masa hadapan.

Antaranya:

1) Balik lewat adalah satu kebiasaan di sini, terutamanya jika ada rekabentuk in-house yang perlu
disiapkan (ada designer yang balik tengah malam semata-mata untuk menyiapkan tugasan
-siapa kata bekerja di sektor awam sangat relax? - ini adalah tidak tepat sama sekali). Setiap
hari, jika saya balik pada pukul 8, lampu di office masih terang-benderang kerana ada orang
lain yang belum balik lagi.

2) Datang ofis pada hari Sabtu/Ahad juga bukan satu perkara yang pelik di sini, tak pun bawa balik
ke rumah ...hehehehe...saya sendiri pada petang ini akan membuat sedikit 'homework' sebagai
persiapan untuk sesi brainstorming pada pagi Isnin ini. Ini kerana saya tidak mahu terkebil-kebil
nanti dan dilihat tidak bersedia/tidak membuat homework untuk sesi perbincangan itu nanti -
jika tidak alamatnya saya mencari nahas la nanti hehehehe....

Oh ya, minggu lepas saya bercuti dua hari, tetapi sebaik sahaja saya kembali bertugas, wahhh..meja saya sudah tidak nampak seperti meja lagi kerana dipenuhi segala macam kertas dari saiz A4 sehingga lah ke saiz A1....dan saya segera menbereskannya atau (menyusunnya mengikut prioriti jika tidak dapat dibereskan pada masa itu juga) kerana saya sejak akhir-akhir ini kurang gemar melihat meja berselerak dan di samping itu tidak mahu ada benda yang 'overlook' dan tertinggal sekiranya diperap lama-lama atas meja..Haha itu baru dua hari cuti, kalau seminggu cuti,,,meja saya akan membukit..hahahaha...

Setakat ini saya masih belum perlu balik tengah malam kerana saya masih belum di'assign'
design in-house lagi, tapi saya amat yakin, detik dan saat itu akan tiba juga pada saya suatu
masa nanti. Saya cuma perlu bersiap sedia dari sekarang...

Apa pun tempat baru saya ini boleh dikira ok dan saya selesa berada di sini ....rakan-rakan setugas pun baik-baik belaka. Walaupun tugasan saya semakin hari semakin banyak dan mencabar, tetapi setidak-tidaknya sesusah-susah mana pon tugasan saya, saya mempunyai 'guidance' di sini dan banyak tempat untuk bertanya..kesemua kerja juga mempunyai peraturan yang telah ditetapkan yang hanya perlu dipelajari dan diikuti. Saya tahu ada tempat lain yang mungkin lebih sukar dan memeningkan kepala daripada di sini dan untuk itu, saya bersyukur.

Di samping itu, banyak yang boleh dipelajari di sini..terlalu banyak sebenarnya sehingga saya pon masih belum sempat untuk membelek semua nota sampaikan nak men'copy' nota pon tak tersempat sebab ada banyak sangat dan saya rasa belum sempat nak baca kesemuanya..Ilmu untuk digali di sini memang sangat banyak ...dan membuatkan saya rasa teruja....Perlahan-lahan lah ye.. hehehe...

When Things Are Destined to Go Wrong, They Will Go Wrong No Matter How Much You Want It To Be Perfect.

2009-10-18T12:20:00.008+08:00

Over the past years, I've learned something really useful in my life journey... We all want things to be perfect all the time, but we are humans, and all humans are imperfect. Sometimes we just need to let go things off..it is just not meant to be in a way we wanted it to be...

Imagine that you are in this situation:

You are all prepared to do a presentation in front of a very important person - You have done all the preparations needed, you even list out every single things that need to be done - you have prepared the presentation materials and slides meticulously since two weeks ago, research for the best materials for the presentation and on the day of the presentation, you bring along your best laptop, projectors etc and you are well dressed for it. Everything is at its best, but suddenly, on the presentation day, the laptop won't start, or the the projector won't cooperate....there are 1001 possible things that can happen.

So what you will do? Do the blame game? Blame yourself? Blame the situations? Blame the others?

Burp!!!

Soal Anak

2009-10-09T21:50:00.005+08:00

Baru sekejap tadi mak telefon aku...sekali lagi (ntah dah berapa juta kali dah) soalan yang sama ditanya kat aku..Aku pon dah tak ada idea dah nak jawab apa kan. Dijawabnya " jangan tunggu lama-lama...nanti lagi susah" Itu memang aku tahu..siapa yang nak tunggu lama-lama kan... Aku pon bukan la alim sangat nak jawab pasal Qada dan Qadar..pasal rezeki di tangan tuhan ke kan...Tak nak jawab langsung kang..dah mak sendiri...kena la melayan....dan sudahnya...mood aku nak relax-relax malam ni jadi terganggu skit (jadi cam emo la plak). Masa aku bujang dulu, ada la sejuta kali ditanya bila aku nak kawin..tapi bila aku cakap tolong carikkan calon...tak ada la pulak...kalau nak harap cari sendiri..prospek-prospek yang ada dulu plak macam ala-ala aku je yang nak kena meminang dulu kut (takkan la nak jadi perigi cari timba kan) tak pun diaorang semua nak tunggu Siti Nurhaliza. Aku ni tak la setanding Siti Nurhaliza nun....Dan akhirnya..Alhamdulillah...my current husband finally has the gut to say the sacred words to me himself....tanpa melalui orang lain ke apa..cakap direct sahaja...dan aku plak jenis yang berpendirian - kalau kita hendakkan sesuatu, kita mesti berusaha sendiri untuk mendapatkannnya..takyah nak pakai orang lain..nak pakai kabel fiber optik ke apa....kita mesti tahu apa yang kita hendak..dan mesti berani untuk mencapainya ...dah dia nak kawin ngan kita..kena tanya ngan tuan punya badan sendiri la..buat apa tanya kat orang lain.

Nak kata tak usaha? Dah macam-macam dah..dan actually aku pon tengah nak take a break sekarang ni for a few months...I just wanna let nature take its own course.....Maybe sebab kami berdua ni memang sibuk sebelum ni..ada banyak komitmen..tapi dah namanya mencari rezeki..dan rezeki yang halal kan...Memang la nak cari rezeki yang halal ni nampak susah skit tapi rahmatnya besar, InsyaAllah..

Hahaha...opppss sorii...membebel lak aku malam ni...sori ye..hehehe...

Dua tiga hari lepas, ada seseorang yang mengeluarkan statement berikut: ''master? master apa? kalau master in construction management semua orang pon boleh ambik'' dalam satu meeting yang aku hadiri. Hmmm..aku rasa orang yang made that statement tuh dia belum ada master lagi sebenarnya - dia jeles kut wahahaha..cheh..ingat senang ke ambik master ni, walaupon aku bukan la ambik master in const. management, tapi sebagai salah seorang yang pernah melalui pahit getir bergelar student master....statement orang itu adalah seperti #@%^&* aje...dan aku rasa orang lain yang ada sama di situ pon, especially yang dah ada PhD, kat dalam hati rasa bengkek aje. Ewah, kalau kail panjang sejengkal, lautan dalam jangan diduga...
Cuba la sekali ambik master, baru tahu langit tinggi rendah.

Bank Holiday Shopping Before Going Home

2009-09-01T01:21:00.010+08:00

Oh, hari ini cuti di UK sempena Bank Holiday. Banyak shopping center/kedai yang buat sale dari minggu lepas sampai hari ini sempena end of summer dan jugak bank holiday.

Disebabkan sale sana sini situ tuh, maka hubby dan aku pergi ke town tadi untuk beli sedikit sebanyak kitchen gadget dan appliances.

Dari semalam aku duk survey kat internet, tengok review-review berkenaan breadmaker yang bagus, dan akhirnya aku shorlistkan tiga breadmaker ini:

Disebabkan banyak review kata yang Panasonic SD255 itu tersangatlah bagusnya seperti review di website argos dan juga di website ini, maka last sekali aku decide beli SD255 itu.

Selain daripada breadmaker di aats nih, aku jugak beli peralatan-peralatan perang di dapur seperti berikut:

Kesilapan / Ketidak kesempurnaan dalam Ibadat & Amalan

Sejak sekolah rendah hinggalah sekarang, penceramah yg paling diminati dan dikagumi ialah Dato' Ismail Kamus..tak pernah jemu mendengar ceramah beliau..

Berikut adalah bahagian ke-3 himpunan kesilapan / ketidak kesempurnaan dalam ibadat yg dipetik daripada ceramah2 beliau:

1. Selalunya ketika kita sedang berpuasa sunat, apabila ada orang ajak makan kenduri, kita akan menolak..dengan alasan kita sedang berpuasa..sayang sgt nak bukak puasa kononnya nak dapat pahala puasa penuh...Sebenarnya, kalau dlm keadaan macam ni, adalah lebih baik utamakan utk kita bukak puasa dan pergi kenduri ersebut..kerana memperkenankan jemputan itu lebih utama daripada kita meneruskan puasa sunat tersebut...hmmm, bukak puasa pun boleh dapat pahala lebih..takkan tak nak?

2. Ramai yang menganggap Islam ini hanya pada ibadat sahaja..hukum solat, puasa, haji dijaga sepenuhnya.. tetapi hukum2 yg lain langsung tak mau ikut cara Islam contohnya bab riba, rasuah, dan sebagainya. Islam itu syumul (menyeluruh) ..

3. Sesetengah masjid suka bertarhim (baca ayat al-Quran sebelum azan Subuh) dan dilaungkan kuat2 speaker tu sampai satu kampung dengar...kadang2 sejam atau setengah jam sebelum azan dah bunyi dah..HARAM hukumnya kerana mengganggu orang tidur. Kena ambil kira orang di sekeliling tu mungkin ada orang tua, kanak2 baru lahir, orang sakit, orang yg tidur semula selepas bangun tahajjud, dsb...buat apa nak kacau mereka tidur? Yang disyariatkan dalam agama adalah azan Subuh sahaja..kalau nak baca al-Quran pun baca sorang2 cukup..tak payah bagi sekampung dengar...rasa2 macam dapat pahala, rupa2nya dapat bala...Sebenarnya kalau kita sedang baca al-Quran sorang2, tiba2 kawan sebelah kita tertidur, kita kena berhenti membaca al-Quran sebab menghormati orang yg sedang tidur itu..inikan pulak sekampung?? Kalau nak bertarhim kuat2 pun agak2 dalam 10 minit atau 5 minit sebelum azan tu cukuplah..tak payah lama2...sempat la orang nk bangun bersiap2 utk ke masjid..Kalau ada AJK masjid yg baca ni, please advise..

4. Apabila kita hendak sembahyang, tiba2 hidangan makanan dah disediakan, makanlah dulu..ini kerana bimbang kita tak khusyuk dalam sembahyang nanti..begitu juga jika kita terlalu mengantuk, tidurlah dulu baru sembahyang.. tapi dengan syarat masih di awal waktu lah..

5. Sesetengah orang menghadapi masalah ketika hendak bertakbiratul ihram..kadang2 angkat takbir berulang-ulang kali tapi masih tak masuk niat jugak..itu cumalah gangguan syaitan sahaja..memang ada syaitan yg tugasnya khas hanya utk mengacau orang yg sedang bertakbiratul iham sahaja.. pedulikan bisikan syaitan itu, yakin dengan diri sendiri...Berkenaan dengan niat pula; niat itu bukannya dibaca dlm hati, tapi hanya lintasan dalam hati sahaja..jika dibaca, itu yg menyebabkan susah nak masuk sebab panjang sgt nak dibaca..Apa yg dikhuatiri adalah berikut: Jika anda sudah bertakbiratul ihram kali pertama dan andainya ia sudah sah disisi Allah, tapi kemudian anda ragu2 lantas anda turun semula dan takbir utk kali kedua..Takbir kali kedua itu akan menyebabkan solat anda menerusi takbir pertama tadi terbatal..dan jika anda meneruskan solat dengan takbir kedua itu, bermakna anda meneruskan solat dalam keadaan solat yang terbatal..Melainkan anda melakukan takbir kali ketiga..Jadi kesimpulannya, make yourself firm & confident ketika takbir seelok-eloknya dapat pada takbir pertama & jgn peduli dengan bisikan syaitan..

6. Terdapat segelintir imam yg berdoa selepas solat akan memulakan doa dengan "Hamdan hamidin", "Hamdan zakirin", atau "Hamdan syakirin".. Bunyinya memang sedap, tapi dari segi nahu bahasa arabnya salah...ini kerana terdapatnya huruf Alif Lam pada perkataan kedua di setiap bacaan tersebut.. Jadi yg sebetulnya harus disebut begini: "Hamdal-hamidin" , "Hamdaz-zakirin" dan " Hamdasy-syakirin" . (p/s: huruf z adalah huruf zal).

7. Menurut mazhab Shafie, mesti terdapat 7 anggota yg menyentuh tanah ketika kita sedang sujud iaitu dahi, kedua2 tapak tangan, kedua2 lutut dan kedua2 PERUT ibu jari kaki (hidung sunat sahaja)..yang nak ditekankan di sini adalah berkenaan perut ibu jari kaki, bermakna ibu jari kaki mestilah dilentikkan ketika sujud barulah perutnya boleh mencecah tanah..terdapat ramai orang yg kakinya menegak sahaja tanpa dilentikkan.

Ketika sujud..tak sah solat kalau macam tu..lagi satu yg selalu mesti diperhatikan ialah ketika sujud sebelum tahiyat akhir, ada yg dah standby siap2 dah kakinya disilangkan seperti tak sabar2 hendak duduk tahiyat akhir..itu pun tak sah juga solatnya..berjaga2. .jangan disebabkan hal yg kita anggap remeh camni menyebabkan solat kita tak diterima oleh Allah..

8. Di bulan puasa, orang kita rajin menghantar kuih2 atau juadah2 ke rumah jiran..memang bagus sekali..tapi silapnya di mana? Orang kita selalu mengharapkan dibalas juadah tadi..itulah silapnya..niat dah lari..Kalau menghantar kuih-muih ke rumah sebelah, niatlah kerana Allah..jangan mengharapkan dibalas...kalau dibalas itu rezeki lah..

9. Apabila kita bersolat di tempat yg limited space tapi ramai orang, contohnya di surau R&R, dalam kapal terbang, dan sebagainya, sesudah kita solat, terus aje bangun utk bagi ruang kpd orang lain utk solat..tak payah nak berwirid la, doa panjang2 la, sembahyang sunat ba'diah la, ape la..sebab lebih utama utk kita bagi orang lain peluang utk solat, menunaikan perkara wajib berbanding kita nak buat perkara2 sunat..lebih2 lagi kalau waktu maghrib sebab waktunya pendek..kat R&R ramai orang camni..

10. Menunaikan haji sememangnya adalah rukun bagi kita..tetapi kita kena pandai menyusun keutamaan..contohnya jika kita dah cukup duit nak pergi haji tahun ni, tiba2 ada saudara kita yg jatuh sakit memerlukan kos perubatan yg tinggi, kita kena tangguhkan dulu pergi haji tu..guna duit tu utk membantu saudara kita..itu yg dituntut dalam Islam..

11. Jika kita hendak sembahyang sunat, tiba2 ada tetamu datang rumah, kita kena tangguhkan sembahyang itu dan pergi layan tetamu dulu..itu yg lebih utama..contohnya apabila selesai solat zohor, kita hendak solat ba'diah, tiba2 ada tetamu datang..tangguhkan solat ba'diah tu dan pergi layan tetamu dulu..selepas dah selesai baru buat solat ba'diah.. dan jika dah tak sempat, solat ba'diah zohor boleh diqada selepas solat asar..walaupun selepas asar dah tak boleh solat sunat lagi, tetapi jika utk qada solat ba'diah zohor boleh..kerana ini pernah dibuat sendiri oleh nabi..tapi itu pun jika ada hal yg tak dapat dielakkan..kalau saja2 nak qada tak boleh..

Sebagai kesimpulan kepada point2 di atas, kita hendaklah pandai menyusun keutamaan dalam beribadat..utamakan yg lebih utama..jika kita gagal mengutamakan yg lebih utama boleh menyebabkan ibadat kita sia2 sahaja, malah sesetengahnya boleh mengakibatkan dosa pula..

Manusia selalu heboh mencari sesuatu yg bakal ditinggalkan, tak dihebohkan utk menyiapkan sesuatu yg bakal dibawa..... Renung-renungkanlah ...

Mercy’s angel spreads her wings
By SHAHANAAZ HABIB

EVEN before Mercy Malaysia, Dr Jemilah Mahmood was always passionate about giving back to society.

“Whenever people came to her for money for this cause or that, she was always digging into her purse. She would give out RM50, RM100, RM200 until she had no money left.

“She’s that kind of person, always wanting to do something for others,” says her close friend Farah Hamzah, who describes Dr Jemilah as “very intense” and very attached to the issues that she pursues.

“If she believes in something, she is relentless. And she ups the ante all the time,” adds Farah.

Dr Jemilah: ‘I love Mercy too much and I didn’t want it to be Dr Jemilah. It has to be more than that. I want it to sustain itself and outlive me.’

And Malaysians are seeing that side of Dr Jemilah.

She gave “birth” to Mercy Malaysia 10 years ago, and along with a team of able doctors, nurses and ever-ready volunteers nurtured the organisation into what it is today – a respected world-class relief organisation.

Whenever a crisis struck the region – be it a tsunami, earthquake, a cyclone, war or military conflict – Mercy Malaysia jumped on board the first plane and headed out to help the victims.

In countries like Myanmar, Sudan, Sri Lanka and North Korea, where a number of international aid organisations are perceived to have an agenda and are not welcomed even during times of humanitarian crisis, Mercy Malaysia got in – at times before everyone else and in some places, like Sri Lanka, with unlimited access to the afflicted areas.

And now Dr Jemilah is upping the ante again by leaving Mercy and heading off to New York to take on a position as Chief of the Humanitarian Response branch for the United Nations Populations Fund (UNFPA).

Succession plan

Some, like her good friend Farah who is an appointed Mercy Malaysia exco member, believes that Dr Jemilah has simply outgrown Mercy.

Dr Jemilah herself discloses that the Mercy succession plan has been in the pipeline for at least five years because she knew from the start that she was going to leave her “baby” after 10 years.

“I knew if I stayed longer, I might put the organisation at risk in the sense that you have this ‘founder syndrome’.

“The founder feels they own the organisation and people cannot differentiate the founder from the organisation, and Mercy Malaysia gets drowned somewhere in between.

“I love Mercy too much and I didn’t want it to be Dr Jemilah. It has to be more than that. I want it to sustain itself and outlive me,” she says.

And it is precisely Mercy Malaysia’s achievements on the international front that have made it so easy for Dr Jemilah to walk away.

The turning point came last year.

Dr Jemilah was in Geneva waiting for a friend to pick her up near the Broken Chair monument on Place des Nations. A group of Sudanese women were gathered around there after a meeting and one of them came up to ask if she was from Malaysia – probably guessing from the way she tied her headscarf.

When Dr Jemilah replied that she was, to her surprise the woman then asked if she knew Mercy Malaysia.

“I froze. I said ‘yes. Why?’ She said ‘I am from El Geneina in West Darfur and now we don’t have to be afraid to give birth because Mercy Malaysia has built a reproductive health centre. They also trained our midwives and doctors so no one has to die in childbirth.”

Dr Jemilah was doubly shocked when the woman then asked if she knew Mercy’s Dr Jemilah.

“I panicked because I was wondering how I was going to answer that. And the woman fished out her call card and she was from a Sudanese local organisation so I fished out mine.

“When she saw my card, she couldn’t believe it. There was an uproar and she started screaming in Arabic and a lot of people started crowding around me,” she says.

At this point, Dr Jemilah was “rescued” by her friend who was honking from the car. So Dr Jemilah excused herself and got in.

“Gosh, would you imagine in your life that you get someone who doesn’t know you from Adam and is one of your beneficiaries who comes up and tells you a story about the impact of your work?” she ponders, still pretty much in awe of the experience.

Then two months later, Dr Jemilah was at a conference in Bangkok when a man came up to her and asked if she remembered him. She didn’t, but it turned out that he was a colonel from Pakistan who was now the defence attache in Bangkok. He remembered her from the 2005 Pakistan earthquake and told her how much he appreciated Mercy Malaysia’s volunteers working through the cold of winter in the mountains of Bagh to provide health care for the victims.

“He asked me if I knew what happened when I left. I said ‘no’. He said when Mercy left, the people took a piece of rubble from their homes and built a monument. And he said your organisation’s name is on it!

“At that point I said to myself ‘why am I hanging on?’ Leave when you know you have done your job and have people to carry on and groom them to succeed.

“A succession plan is only successful if you will let go,” she says.

And let go she did, handing over the mantle to Dr Ahmad Faizal Mohd Perdaus.

Why him?

Dr Jemilah says Dr Faizal is a good speaker and excellent communicator and has been vice-president for two terms.

“He’s very smart. I’ve known him for many years. He was my student. He’s a doctor and has been on missions so he has had the experience. He is a mix of all this. He’s ideal,” she says.

She says she told Dr Faisal not to ever try to walk in her shoes but to chart his own course.

“I foresee Mercy becoming a better organisation when I depart because, as it is, Mercy is a very emotive organisation. It is full of emotion and passion and I am, by nature, like that. I believe when I am not there, it becomes more calm, very strong and solid and nothing can shake it after that. I am very optimistic. I have great faith in the people I am leaving behind.”

So she advised Dr Faisal not to be afraid to make his own mistakes and learn from them as he steers Mercy in a new direction.

“I said you can change the process, hardware, software, structure, logo and anything else but just don’t ever change the values and principles the organisation is built on, which is a platform for people to do good and putting Malaysia on the world map to show that we can do things differently and better.”

Dr Jemilah has also told the team not to feel any pressure that she is going to watch and feel disappointed with them.

“I won’t because I understand what transition is all about. In any organisation, when there is a transition there is a slight dip and then it comes back. They should expect that.”

Softie at heart

While she might look like a tough cookie, Dr Jemilah admits that she cries all the time when she comes across painful situations and that even watching a video of the situation brings her to tears.

But this only makes her stronger.

“If you can’t cry, you can’t feel that it is so painful to watch and see. I cry and say to myself ‘No point crying. You gotta do something about it.’ I am not tough. I am a real softie but pushed to a corner I can be quite a tiger,” she admits.

On her new UN job, Dr Jemilah says it would include planning, monitoring and administering the UNFPA’s emergency response fund in its work in conflict, post conflict and natural disaster situations as well as prepare for present and future threats, among other things.

Dr Jemilah who is a gynaecologist says the work would also focus on reproductive and gender issues during humanitarian crises, adding that “even in war and conflict there are women who want to give birth.”

In the last 10 years, she says, she has witnessed “too much pain” of women having been sexually abused or having no access to healthcare sometimes because of difficult circumstances, like in Afghanistan where people basically hide their women.

So she is excited about the prospect of “this woman in a tudung going to a difficult Muslim country and challenging the system and all these men.”

Naive maybe, but Dr Jemilah is among those who are “terribly optimistic” that global peace and development are achieveable and what it needs are agents of change in the world to bring about the shift.

“I want to be a change agent. Maybe I am born for that. I want to shake things up and move things and push. I never say die and I never say no. If we have a defeatist attitude, we’ll never achieve anything,” she says.

Dr Jemilah says she is lucky that her husband, Dr Ashar Abdullah, is her number one fan.

“He really feels that I can shake and change the world. He pushes me all the time and says ‘Go. You can go for that. That’s too small for you. You can go higher and do more good.”

Stressing that she is just a normal person who is “just very, very steadfast”, Dr Jemilah says the humanitarian cause is something that really drives her.

“I just feel right now that I can do more. Mercy can do only so much but Jemilah can do more. I want to use whatever strength and whatever talent I have globally.

“Whether I succeed or not is a different matter but I want to continue to try to change the world and not give up.”

Tahniah Tan Sri and semoga Tan Sri akan terus mengharumkan nama Malaysia di mata dunia!!!

Banyak jugak yang depa suh aku lukis diagram - diagram stress la strain la ..stress block masa plastic failure la diagram untuk elastic failure la...eii bending moment diagram shear suma tu ah..adoi la, sketch untuk residual stress la (oh ya kat sini baru aku tau pasal residual stress nih..dulu tak tau pon - itu pun tadi aku tanya Pang, dia explain kat aku...dia kata masa undergraduate kat surrey dulu dia ada diajar pasal tuh..eiii mana la aku tak jeles lagi..basic theory diaorang memang mantap giler masa undergrad dulu.. rasa cam diri aku nih banyak sangat tak tahu kalau nak compare ngan depa..Tapi atleast, bila dapat buat master nih..bertambah la knowledge aku..daru tak tahu dulu sekarang dah tahu (walaupon agak terlambat skit - bbudak oversea time degree dah tau dah mende nih).

Ok ..my comment sepanjang pengajian sini.

Belajar di Uni of Surrey ni agak susah jugak la sebenarnya.. Tapikan yang aku rasa ralat sangat ialah..bila aku compare diri sendiri dengan student dari oversea nih,, depa punya basic masa undergraduate dulu memang power. Contohnya bagi subjek finite element, ada sorang budak kelas aku citer yang dia dah belajar pasal finite element tuh semasa undergraduate lagi..so bila dah masuk Master, bagi dia macam kacang je la..macam buat revision je..cheh memang aku jeles gile...macam mana la nak compete ngan diaorang kalu camtu.. Sedangkan budak India pon cakap kat aku yang depa ada belajar subjek finite element masa undergrad kat India dulu...apsal ek uni aku dulu tak ajar subjek finite element nih..padahal penting sesangat kalau dah masuk peringkat advance, especially kalau nak pakai program finite element yang canggih manggih. Seingat aku la , masa aku buat degree dulu mana ada subjek finite element nih..tu la yang aku tak berani ambik subjek tuh masa master nih (walaupon bebudak oversea nih kata senang nak score). Pang (budak HK yang study sini masa undergrad) citer yang subjek finite element nih memang pure maths..pastu banyak structural mechanics (nih kena terror berimaginasi skit pasal camana structure tuh berubah bentuk la etc).

Satu lagi pasal buku - best sesangat sebab ada banyak buku kat library..Banyak perkara yang aku belajar dari pembacaaan buku kat library ( and again - how I wished that dulu masa buat degree buku-buku nih semua ada kat library dulu).

Satu lagi contoh ialah structural knowledge bebudak oversea nih..cara depa explain pasal teori structure memang mantap la pasal sume tuh dah diajar dengan panjang lebar masa undergraduate dulu (eii jeles jeles). Aku je cam baru la nak terkedek-kedek nak catch up dengan diaorang (geram gila).

Another thing yang aku perasan ialah...bebudak India/Pakistan suka bebenor buat computer modelling/finite element untuk tesis diaorang. Sebabnya ialah, kalau nak senang masuk pasaran pekerjaan civil engineering di UK nih, mesti terror computer modelling sebab sini memang banyak depend ngan computer, takdanya design/detailing bole ubah kat site ke hapa..sume mesti buat kat design office. I think sebab culture sini yang mesti ikut proper rules/regulation, tak bole main suka hati tukar design-details ..semuanya mesti documented dan ada bukti iaitu design/modelling tadi la..Sebab kalau structure fails..memang habis la kena saman. Kalau orang luar nak keje sini..mesti terror computer modelling, kalau tak, memang susah dapat keje, walaupon masa kat Mesia dah ada experience duduk site bertahun-tahun...depa still tengok skill computer tuh yang penting.

Oklah..dah ngantuk lak...nanti sambung cite lain hari plak.....

Wassalam...

The Struggle

2009-07-22T01:47:00.002+08:00

Yeah..I have been struggling lately..for my dissertation..It seems that I don't even have enough time lately for everything..even to make a proper meal...

I have also discovered that I like to think while I am having hot shower in the bathroom..hehehe...Weird it is but it's true. I especially like to plan other matters besides my dissertation while I am bathing, maybe becoz I can properly think about other stuff when I can't see the materials for my dissertation, which, at this time is scattered around my room. It's like dissertation is my 24 hrs priority now...Makan, minum, tidur dissertation..huhu..

How I wish that I can type my dissertation at 10 pages speed every day...

The Happiest Place on Earth?

2009-07-08T11:38:00.007+08:00

Malam tadi lepas taip-taip skit untuk dissertation, aku tengok citer Home

Kalau sesapa minat pasal Environmental Issue, memand best tengok citer nih. Kalau tengok dalam High Definition lagi sangat-sangat best..nampak real betul pemandangan-pemandangan yang ditunjukkan. Rasa insap pon ada pasal banyak sangat dah pencemaran yang dah terjadi..sampai Gunung Kiilimanjarao yang dulunya penuh dengan ais kat puncak..sekarang dah tak lagi macam tuh. Cerita nih..masa 5 hingga 15 minit terawal nampak cam boring skit ..tapi lepas tuh..walla..memang besh..cerita pasal manusia yang memusnahkan ekologi alam secara besar-besaran, bagaimana manusia mengeksploitasi sumber alam secara excessive..sampai stok ikan berkurangan..air bersih pon semakin berkurang..cerita pasal tamadun di kepulauan easter yang suatu ketika dulu makmur dan kaya dengan hasil alam..tetapi akhirnya kini dah tak ada pokok dah kat situ dan tamadun tersebut berakhir.

Kat akhir fime tuh ada ditulis effort-effort oleh a few countries dalam menangani isu alam sekitar nih, tapi yang paling aku suka ialah fakta di mana negara-negara di seluruh dunia membelanjakan lebih kurang 12 kali ganda untuk military berbanding untuk bantuan kepada negara membangun...ada juga ditulis yang 5000 orang mati di seluruh dunia sebab dirty drinking water...pastu ada ditulis yang negara Costa Rica memilih untuk tidak spend perbelanjaan untuk ketenteraan sebaliknya untuk perkara lain seperti education, ecotourism and forest protection..etc.. Bila aku google ..menang betul, Costa Ric tak ada army sendiri sejak berakhirnya civil war mereka. Yang ada cuma Polis/national guard. Barula aku teringat yang a few days ago, Costa Rica dapat title 'the happiest, greenest country in the world'..now I know why..

Baca dan baca lagi

2009-07-07T02:33:00.005+08:00

Dilema Seorang Perempuan

2009-07-02T03:04:00.013+08:00

Tadi terbaca kisah ini..

Tragedi di bilik asrama UTM

Oleh Intan Mas Ayu Shahimi
imas@hmetro.com.my

JOHOR BAHRU: Sedih dan menyayat hati! Itu nasib malang seorang bekas pelajar wanita berusia 26 tahun yang ditemui mati dipercayai akibat pendarahan serius selepas melahirkan anak dalam keadaan serba kekurangan di sebuah bilik asrama di Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) Skudai dekat sini, petang kelmarin.

Lebih malang lagi, bekas pelajar tahun empat itu dipercayai menderita keseorangan ketika melahirkan anak dan hanya ditemui kira-kira jam 5 petang, selepas lebih dua hari Allahyarham menghembuskan nafas terakhir.

Kejadian disedari ketika minggu orientasi pelajar baru berlangsung apabila beberapa pelajar mengadu kepada ahli jawatankuasa (AJK) minggu orientasi ada sebuah bilik asrama berbau busuk.

Berikutan itu seorang daripada AJK minggu orientasi memeriksa bilik berkenaan yang berkunci dari dalam itu.

AJK terbabit membuat aduan kepada pengetua kolej kediaman sebelum pengawal keselamatan diarah menyiasat.

Sebaik pintu dibuka, pengawal keselamatan terbabit terkejut melihat sekujur tubuh tanpa seurat benang terbaring kaku dengan percikan darah di lantai.

Lebih mengejutkan, penemuan bayi lelaki yang sudah tidak bernyawa tidak jauh dari mayat wanita itu.

Ketua Polis Daerah Johor Bahru Utara, Asisten Komisioner Ruslan Hassan, berkata pihaknya menerima maklumat berhubung penemuan mayat wanita berkenaan sebelum bergegas ke tempat kejadian.

“Berdasarkan siasatan, mangsa berasal dari Kelantan dan belum berkahwin. Dia disahkan meninggal dunia sekurang-kurangnya dua hari sebelum ditemui.

“Kami percaya besar kemungkinan kematian mangsa berpunca daripada pendarahan serius selepas bersalin.

“Namun, kita tetap meneruskan siasatan bagi mengenal pasti punca sebenar kematian mangsa dan melihat sama ada wujud kemungkinan ada unsur jenayah,” katanya.

Ruslan berkata, pihaknya tidak menolak kemungkinan pasangan wanita terbabit pelajar di kampus sama.

“Buat masa ini kami dalam proses mengenal pasti pasangan wanita berkenaan bagi membantu siasatan, manakala mangsa sudah dihantar ke Hospital Sultanah Aminah (HSA) untuk bedah siasat.

“Sesiapa yang mempunyai maklumat berhubung kejadian diminta menghubungi polis Johor di talian 07-2212999 atau tampil ke balai polis untuk membantu siasatan,” katanya.

Sementara itu, Penolong Pendaftar Perhubungan Media UTM, Sabri Ahmad, ketika dihubungi memberitahu mangsa sudah ditamatkan pengajiannya pada Januari lalu selepas gagal pada peperiksaan akhir Semester 1 sesi 2008/2009.

Menurutnya, bilik berkenaan disewa wanita terbabit sejak 11 Mei lalu kerana polisi UTM membenarkan orang luar menyewa bilik asrama ketika cuti semester.

Ditanya tindakan seterusnya berhubung kes itu, Sabri berkata, pihak kampus tidak dapat menangani kes berkenaan seperti kes biasa membabitkan pelajar memandangkan mangsa tidak lagi berstatus pelajar selepas ditamatkan pengajiannya.

“Bagaimanapun, kita akan berusaha membantu pihak berkenaan berhubung urusan berkaitan dengan kejadian ini,” katanya.

Berhubung dakwaan kemungkinan teman lelaki mangsa pelajar UTM, Sabri berkata, pihaknya tidak dapat mengesahkan perkara itu kerana buat masa ini belum ada maklumat mengenainya.

Sedih betul bila baca..membuatkan aku terfikir kejap.. menjadi seorang perempuan nih memang macam-macam yang hendak dipertimbangkan..

Kalau:

Seorang perempuan bercinta awal..masa studi..dikatanya gatal nak kawin...malas belajar...perabis duit je..pastu kalau kawin awal + dapat anak pastu bercerai..dilabelkan macam-macam..teenage mom la..iskkk..

TAPI..bila tak kahwin/lambat kahwin dikata mementingkan karier sangat la..garang sangatla....

Semuanya serba tak kena..iskk..cuba kena kat batang hidung sendiri/anak sendiri..baru la tahu langit tinggi rendah..

tak tahu ke yang semua ni adalah ketentuan Allah jua...

Danke, Ausgang,Schokolade.....

2009-06-26T04:15:00.003+08:00

Just came back from Vienna, Austria.

I have learned a few German words...such as Ausgang = exit, Danke = thank you and schokolade = chocolate.

Will put some pictures maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Peringatan untuk diri sendiri juga..

With £19.35

2009-05-24T18:32:00.006+08:00

Last week, hubby and I went shopping for our groceries. Look at what we bought just for £19.35..
Macam-macam beli...

Ini ialah sayur courgette. Dulu tak reti makan, ingatkan macam timun, sekali tu my hubby bawak balik lauk courgette goreng kicap yang che' wan belanja..fuhh..sodap rupanya,, terus aku jatuh cinta dengan ini sayur..sedap oo kalau buat goreng kicap.Kami selalu beli beras ini..sepeket sekilo beratnya..Ini la beras yang paling murah.

Beli ayam seekor..Kitaorang selalunya jarang beli ayam sekor ni..selalunya beli bahagian drumstcik sekotak ke..tapi sebab aritu dapat ayam murah (£4.99) daripada harga asal £5.99, kami pon sambar je..hehehe..

Jumlah keseluruhan = £19.35..hehehehe...

Lepas tu..ayam tu dibuat masak ayam paprik dan courgette tu dibuat masak goreng kicap...

Inspiration

2009-05-23T19:56:00.004+08:00

This morning I went through Mr. Tahir H****'s presentation, 'An Introduction to Project Management' and at the end of his slides, I found this very inspirational quotes:

In one of his lectures, he told us that it is a wild jungle out there. Yes, it is good for us to study masters and all but we all (the students) are still in an idealistic, secured environment, where people abides by rules, but when we are out there, it is really a wild jungle..I am sort of impressed with his credentials. He had worked with several major organisations and top projects before, with wide arrays of experiences. He is an invited guest lecturer for this subject, but his presentation is a wow!! I have never been bored with his talks from the beginning until the end.

Modernising Construction

2009-05-21T17:20:00.009+08:00

Dari pagi tadi duduk kat depan laptop..baca report bertajuk 'Modernising Construction' by the Comptroller and Auditor General, National Audit Office..kiranya macam Jabatan Audit Negara la kut..cumanya kat report nih ditulis yang " He (the Comptroller and Auditor general), and the National Audit Office are totally independent of Government. He certifies the accounts of all Government Departments and a wide range of other public sector bodies; and he has statutory authority to report to Parliament on the economy, efficiency and effectiveness with which departments and other bodies have used their resources. Our works saves the taxpayer millions of pounds every year. At least £8 for every £ 1spent running the Office".

Ok, kenapa lak aku tetiba pagi ni duk baca report nih...sebenarnya kena baca untuk jawab assignment subjek Construction Organisation dan jugak untuk exam pada 1 Jun nih....Pasal KPI la..pasal PPP la..pasal PFI..semuanya ade dalam nih.

Ok..ini antara benda-benda menarik yang aku baca arini:

Oooo.. client pon kena well trained to be intelligent construction clients gak ..hehehe..eh..mestila kan..hehe..

Information technology pon penting...

R&D pon penting jugak..

The famous KPI phrase...

2009-05-21T07:05:00.003+08:00

Watched Mamma Mia just now (hehehehe..ni sesi lepas geram habis-habisan lepas abis exam kat surrey, even tho I still have one more exam at Kingston and final disertatin to complete).

It was soo tough

2009-05-16T02:11:00.001+08:00

Erkk..tadi baru je abis exam Soil-structure interaction...memang susah bebenor..mana la ku nak ingat sangat teori-teori yang susah nak dibayangkan tuh pon..kalau hafal pon macam hafal buta-buta aje la..takleh nak imagine...sebab benda tak nampak..Lantoklah..kalau aku pass pon subjek ni dah kira bersyukur ya amat..

Cerita selepas 10 tahun

2009-05-14T23:52:00.005+08:00

Mmm..hidup ini umpama roda kan..kadang-kadang kita duk kat atas..kadang-kadang duk kat bawah....tak boleh nak dijangka..

10 tahun lepas..aku masih lagi di universiti..time ini sedang berhempas pulas dengan pengajian ijazah...

Masa tu setiap tahun aku mesti balik sambut raya kat Terengganu...aku masih ingat lagi..masa tu tiap-tiap kali raya mesti si Z, Ri, Ra,D, G, L dan Kuman - kawan-kawan sekolah aku.. datang umah aku...aku pon sama..mesti nak pergi beraya umah diaorang..dan my mum and I mesti prepare makanan yang best-best...biasanya kami akan masak our special lontong untuk sambut tetamu time raya...

Antara kami semua, G dan L yang kahwin dulu...ke mana-mana aje mesti berdua...aku masa tu masih tak terpikir pasal kawin-kawin atau berboifren lagi...sebab masa tu target aku nak cari duit dulu..bagi stabil dulu hidup aku..

G and L ni nampak happy aje..tapi ye la kan.. we can't judge a book by its cover...masa tu aku terpikir..wahhh best kan kawin sesama member sekolah kan...macam sweet gitu..

Tapi itu cerita dulu...fast forward ke depan.....sekarang tahun 2009...kat frenster si G, aku tengok..status dah jadi 'its complicated' dan dah takde gambar 'the other half'..yang ada gambar dia sorang-sorang aje..gambar raya pon takde gambar si L...manakala kat facebook L..ada gambar kawin L dengan wife baru..aku takde la nak menyibuk nak tanya-tanya ke kan..faham-faham aje la sendiri. Diketika si D (Di ni kawan baik aku dan G) baru aje kahwin, si G plak ceritanya dah terbalik plak..

Sedihkan..aku macam dapat rasakan kesedihan hati si G sekarang ini...itu lah yang dinamakan takdir..tak siapa yang boleh jangka....aku cuba letakkan diri aku kat tempat G..cuba selami hati dia..iskkk..tak terbayang rasanya...sedih beb...

Lepas ni kalau aku balik raya Trg ....iskk sedih plak teringat kat G....
