Chocolate (one way to show my support to local made product)

do you know Beryl's chocolate? this is local product tau..Malaysian manufactured.

ini salah satu yang menjadi kegemaran saya,and i am absolutely obsessed with this chocolate ok!

kalau kasi i satu bungkus dalam 15 minit mesti habis punya!
aduhhhh caner nak diet ni? hehehe.

jangan beli kat KLIA...sebab kat sana jual sebungkus RM10.

i found this chocolate in KLCC's Isetan supermarket,RM4.50 jer sekotak.
giler menipu KLIA! chissss!
errr..did i mention sebungkus earlier? hehe..silap.

kalau pi KLIA, pantang betul kalau promoter tu dok promote coklat pastu kata "ini imported chocolate miss, mesti beli miss,sedap miss"
ermmmm.. dengar perkataan "imported" jer terus tak jadi beli ok!
kalau local made saya beli lah ... huhu.

walaupun keciwa dengan keadaan Proton sekarang, i still plan to buy a local car later...hopefully they would be better by then.

pagi ni ambil gamba langit kat depan rumah masa nak kluar pi keje.
ternampak anak bulan kecikkkk jer kat atas sana..banyak2 bersyukur.. :)

to all Mothers

to all the ladies out there...
(there is so much to write about it but i'll rather keep it simple)

i was watching Oprah last nite (wed 18july 2007)..
it was a tribute to Mothers on Mother's Day.
Oprah was with Maria Shiver (who?did i get the spelling correct?)..
she is the wife or Arnold Schwarzenegger huhuhu...
& a close relative to the famous Keneddy family...
how close? 1st cousin if not mistaken..err not sure of the connection anymore..

such a moving dialogue this topic is.
they interviewed Demi Moore, Vanessa Williams and Vanessa's mothers.

i was at awe when Demi Moore said...
"the only time that we own our children is when they are in the womb. once they are born we just have to begin with the process of letting go & let them grow to be what they are & what they want to be..."

"after all..each child is her/his own individual."

fuh....deeep...

Demi Moore is highly opinianated..
she should listen to her talk..she is damn smart ok.
& she fell in love with Ashton Kutcher which is 15 years her junior.
Ashton who? & u think Ashton is stupid?
think again...
he was studying Bio Engineering in back in his university days ok.
because he wanted to find a cure for his sick twin brother(ada masalah tulang ke abenda ntah).
(i knew this from channel 76 on astro huhuhu)
so not so stupid lah even tho in Punk'd ..he is bloody annoying..to the bone!

Demi's mother was as alcoholic.
when Maria asked on this Mother's Day, what would you say to your mother?
she said... "Thank you."
hihihih..sweet.

When asked by Maria if a mother could be a girl's best friend,
Vanessa's mother, Helen said "I am her mother. She has friends."
hahaha!!! i was laughing...
she is damn smart and her conscience is damn clear ok!
she was like..."me? her friend? r u kidding me?i have responsibilities here! i didn't carry her 9 months in my tummy for

fun ok!" hehehe.
but i could see she is very hard on her children, difficult for her to give compliments..
constantly criticizing..so that her child be at her best.
ehe..same as my mother but she had changed a lot now heheh.

Maria said that...everyday she says "i love you mommy"
i've been practising that to my parents as well...
in fact..my brothers and i only started hugging our parents around errmmm 4-5 years back.
before this, we did not hug or display any affection.
as if we don't love each other at all.
and it was my mum who initiated it..
my mum is one smart lady.

she is always evolving...
always want to be better in everything she does.
she never gives up...
she is so strong and she always have faith.
how i adore her :)

my mum often says "sekali bah,sekali pantai berubah,inikan pula manusia"
but she is using it in a positive way.
she means, we must always change...for the better.
terima kritikan dan berubah untuk menjadi lebih baik..setiap hari.
everyday we are students, the learning process will never stop till the day we die.

ini baru Wawasan 2020!

i want to write a letter to my mum...
& send to her from here in btu.
i bet she will be delighted.

my mum selalu membebel kalau i nak keluar.
dia risau yg amat..kat luar tu mana tau kena rompak ke,langgar lari ke dan macam2 lagi.
kalau nak bukak pintu pagar pon dia suruh usha keliling dulu takut orang ambush..
kelakar kan...i feel her.. but i still need to go out ok!

i may not be the best daughter..
& just because i may not be able to seem to love her the way she wants me to,
does not mean i do not love her with everything i have.

a big thank you to my Mother & to all Mothers out there.

my mind seems so empty.
is it because i am unmotivated at work?
hehe. i think so yes. a BIG yes.
need help.

Bintulu again..how boring..
sampai KLIA kol 10.30...
dah beratur lebih setengah jam, tapi tak jugak check-in lagi. MAS byk tutup kaunter.
muka mereka yg beratur kelat jerrr..
pastu flight delay...hhmm...(tapi tak seteruk AirAsia lah)
ada staff2 yg berdiri kat tepi org beratur tu tapi buat apa kan...
baik masuk kaunter tolong check-in kan penumpang.

makanan MAS sejak En. Idris Jalla amik alih mmg tak best. dulu ok la jugak..tapi bersyukur lah ada makanan sbb mmg tgh kelaparan hehe.

pastu tgk awan di luar..
Subhannallah..lawanya awan. rasa nak capai jer..
Apa kah rasa nya jika kita dapat memegang awan?
Adakah ia terasa seperti kapas?
Atau adakah ia terasa seperti air?

air (ayer)....unrenewable source...
what would happen when there is not water?
sedih melihat kerosakan di muka bumi ini.

naik Gunung Genting Sempah pada 8 Julai lepas dgn otai2 ABM dan pendaki2 tegar.
first time trekking tanpa Bapak...huhu...nervous ooo.

dari luar nampak lawa jer dah sampai rupanya ada trek balak.
ooooo...ada aktiviti pembalakan rupanya.
tebang, tebang dan tebang lagi tapi tak tanam balik.

(kayu-kayu balak yang menjadi mangsa ketamakan manusia)

it is sad...masa turun tu hujan lebat pulak...
bermandi la lumpur semuanya.
air turun dgn lajunya, hakisan tanah baik punya.

nice day anyhow.
esok nya terus demam...huhuhu.

so sleepieee.....helppppp!

nak try? petua tercekik tulang

salam semua..
hari ini sangatlah mengantuk kerana bergayut kat telipon sampai kol 4 pagi ok!

to her, be strong...
there is always a reason for something that happened.
cuma Allah yg tahu, mesti ada hikmahnya..
just want to let u know, if u need me i'll do my best to be around for u.

got this from an email forwarded by a wonderful friend called Pinkie hehe.
memang nak sangat lah share dengan semua orang...
bacalah sampai habis ye...enjoyyy....

********************************
Petua.....TERcekik.... tulang..

Aku datang dari keluarga yg besar...16 adik beradik, bila sesekali berkumpul, dah tentu mak aku akan buat majlis makan besar-besar dan best-best!!!

Dalam ramai2 adik beradik, bukan semua yg suka stail aku, apabila aku bawa gaya hidup "gaya pulang ke pangkal jalan'"...maka adalah yg tak kena sana sini...ohhh..

Masa makan, aku pun duduk lah cara Nabi..(sila rujuk ustaz jika tidak tahu) ... lalu ada yg sound:

"apahal duduk macam nak berlari ajer...?" atau "tak baik lutut tinggi pada makanan.." atau "ni duduk ke nak berak nie..?"

Oleh sebab aku lelaki beriman, maka aku buat muka seposen...aku pun basuh tangan.

Nota untuk mua'alaf: sebelum makan sunnah Nabi adalah basuh kedua2 tangan dan berkumur.
InsyaAllah jika korang amal nie, sebelum korang mati Allah akan mempermudahkan segala urusan hutang piutang korang.
(Hutang kereta/rumah/kahwin/ study/along bla bla bla!!!)

Sambung balik, aku pun berpikir...ada baiknya juga Nabi tak makan pakai sudu atau garfu..
kalau Nabi makan pakai sudu, susah pulak org miskin macam aku nak ikut sunnah Nabi...
nak pakai sudu material apa? stainless steel ke inconnel 601? nak pakai colour camne? matelic ke cooper?kan susah tu!!!
Tu belum lagi jika Nabi makan pakai kerusi dan meja..bentuk bulat ke bentuk heksagon?, oktagon?, nanagon?
nak kena pergi Kedai perabot buat ansuran mudah! jimat !
hanya RM 1 dan tunggu 30 hari, kunjungilah kedai perabot terbesar di Malaysia, bla bla bla!!!Oh..

Biasa korang belajar doa makan macam nie: "Allahummabariklana (hingga akhir)..
Tapi tu sebenarnya doa tengok makanan, doa makan mudah sajer: "Bismillah, barkatillah"

Lepas tu makan lah, dengan tiga jari(sunnah Nabi) kemudian...
Ada pulak suara2 yg sound: "Eh, kenyang ke makan dengan tiga jari?" aku kata: "huh, anak cina makan dengan dua kayu elok2 habis nasi satu pinggan!!! "

Tapi oleh kerana aku sorang jer yg makan dengan tiga jari, org lain makan dengan lima jari..
maka aku lihat kadar flow of suapan dan kadar quantity of lauk-pauk diorang lebih laju dan maju, maka aku menukar jariku dari 3 kepada 5...oh..tepuk dada tanya iman..

Kemudian aku minum dari tangan kanan yg tidak berbasuh...
Diorang tegur: "essh..pengotor betullah"
Aku kata: "Apa pulak kotor, aku makan nasi, bukan tahik!!!"
(tapiaku kata dalam hati sebab aku lelaki beriman)
"Nie, apahal jilat2 jari nie? lucah betul!!" tanya diorang pada aku..
"Makan ayam sedap sampai ke kaki....makan sate sedap sampai ke lidi he he heh" kataku...

Banyak pulak diorang komplen cara aku makan..err maksud aku cara Nabi makan... aku tahu tak berguna berdebat ngan mereka lalu aku ubah topik dengan bertanya :

Tahukah korang kenapa lembu makan rumput dan kambing makan daun?
Abang aku kata: sebab tengkuk lembu berat...bla bla bla..
Aku kata: "salah!!! lembu makan rumput dan kambing makan daun sebab mereka lapar!!!(tak lawak) ha ha ha!!!"
aku menyambung: "Penting makan cara Nabi sebab kita hari2 makan, tapi bila tak ikut sunnah, maka jadi macam lembu dan kambing makan sajer, namun bila korang makan macam Nabi saw makan, maka di kira ibadat.. Masa nak makan, niatlah makan kerana perintah Allah, namun kena nafikan makanan yg bagi kenyang..hakikatnya kenyang datang dari kudrat Allah. "

Tiba2 mak aku tercekik tulang ikan..
(cuba bayangkan keadaan seorang mak cik sedang tercekik tulang).
Kemudian, Mak aku mendapat nasihat secara berperingkat, ada yg sarankan agar makan pisang, minum air dengan cepat, makan nasi kepal dan lain2, tapi masih tak berjaya.. kesian mak aku...

"Huh! Hamka, Takkan kau tak tahu cara sunnah Nabi nak buang tulang tercekik camne?..cakap terer!" kata abang aku.

Aku kata: "senang sajer...Mak angkat kedua-dua tangan ke atas.."

Mak aku pun buat..tapi masih tak jadi..

Aku kata: "lurus Mak, tangan mak dua-dua kena lurus... !!!"
(bayangkan seorang makcik yg sedang duduk bersila sambil kedua-dua tangan diluruskan ke atas, tangan kanan masih terdapat sisa2 nasi, manakala di lengan dan tengkuk dipenuhi dengan rantai emas..)

Aku kata:"Sekarang sebut: SUPERMAN RETURNS!!!!!!

"HA HA HA HA HA !!!" semua org ketawa....nasi berhembur-hembur di sana sini.
Mak aku juga ketawa..sehingga tulang yg tercekik itu terkeluar..
semuanya dari Allah!!!

he he he...selamat mencuba, ni bukan hadith,just pengalaman.

kuang kuang kuang...end of story..
just a happy-loyar-buruk story to start the day.

Teka-Teki Imam Ghazali

Pada suatu hari, Imam Al Ghozali berkumpul dengan murid-muridnya.
Lalu Imam Al Ghazali bertanya.

Pertama ,"Apa yang paling dekat dengan diri kita di dunia ini?".
Murid-muridnya menjawab "orang tua, guru, kawan, dan sahabatnya".
Imam Ghozali menjelaskan semua jawapan itu benar.
Tetapi yang paling dekat dengan kita adalah "MATI".
Sebab itu sememangnya janji Allah SWT bahwa setiap yang bernyawa pasti akan mati. (Ali Imran 185)

Lalu Imam Ghazali meneruskan pertanyaan yang kedua.
"Apa yang paling jauh dari diri kita di dunia ini?".
Murid -muridnya menjawab "negara Cina, bulan, matahari dan bintang-bintang".
Lalu Imam Ghazali menjelaskan bahawa semua jawapan yang mereka berikan itu adalah benar.
Tapi yang paling benar adalah "MASA LALU".
Walau dengan apa cara sekalipun kita tidak dapat kembali ke masa lalu.
Oleh sebab itu kita harus menjaga hari ini dan hari-hari yang akan datang dengan perbuatan yang sesuai dengan ajaran Agama.

Lalu Imam Ghazali meneruskan dengan pertanyaan yang ketiga.
" Apa yang paling besar di dunia ini?".
Murid-muridnya menjawah "gunung, bumi dan matahari".
Semua jawapan itu benar kata Imam Ghazali.
Tapi yang paling besar daripada yang ada di dunia ini adalah "NAFSU" (Al A'Raf 179).
Maka kita harus berhati-hati dengan nafsu kita, jangan sampai nafsu membawa kita ke neraka.

Pertanyaan keempat adalah, " Apa yang paling berat di dunia ini?".
Ada yang menjawab "besi dan gajah".
Semua jawapan adalah benar, kata Imam Ghazali, tapi yang paling berat adalah "MEMEGANG AMANAH" (Al-Ahzab 72).

Tumbuh-tumbuhan, binatang, gunung, dan malaikat semua tidak mampu ketika Allah SWT meminta mereka untuk menjadi kalifah (pemimpin) di dunia ini.
Tetapi manusia dengan sombongnya menyanggupi permintaan Allah SWT, sehingga banyak daripada manusia masuk ke neraka karena tidak dapat memegang amanahnya.

Pertanyaan yang kelima adalah, " Apa yang paling ringan di dunia ini?".
Ada yang menjawab "kapas, angin, debu dan daun-daunan".
Semua itu benar kata Imam Ghazali, tapi yang paling ringan di dunia ini adalah "MENINGGALKAN SOLAT".
Gara-gara pekerjaan kita meninggalkan solat, gara-gara bermesyuarat kita meninggalkan solat.

Dan pertanyaan keenam adalah, " Apakah yang paling tajam di dunia ini?".
Murid-muridnya menjawab dengan serentak, "pedang".
Benar kata Imam Ghazali, tapi yang paling tajam adalah "LIDAH MANUSIA".
Kerana melalui lidah, Manusia selalunya menyakiti hati dan melukai perasaan saudaranya sendiri.

Slow Down Culture

i got this from an email i think..
worth reading...and practising! if you could of course.

kesimpulannya..lagi kurang kerja lagi bagus?

hehhe tidak..kesimpulannya...use your resources wisely & jgn kiasu..huhuhu

Slow Down Culture (Anonymous)

It's been 18 years since I joined Volvo, a Swedish company.
Working for them has proven to be an interesting experience.
Any project here takes 2 years to be finalized, even if the idea is simple and brilliant. It's a rule.

Global processes have caused in us (all over the world) a general sense of searching for immediate results.
Therefore, we have come to posses a need to see immediate results.
This contrasts greatly with the slow movements of the Swedish.
They, on the other hand, debate, debate, debate, hold x quantity of meetings and work with a slowdown scheme. At the end, this always yields better results.

Said in another words:
1. Sweden is about the size of San Pablo, a state in Brazil.
2. Sweden has 2 million inhabitants.
3. Stockholm has 500,000 people.
4. Volvo, Escania, Ericsson, Electrolux, Nokia are some of its renowned companies.
Volvo supplies the NASA.

The first time I was in Sweden, one of my colleagues picked me up at the hotel every morning.
It was September, bit cold and snowy.
We would arrive early at the company and he would park far away from the entrance (2000 employees drive their car to work).
The first day, I didn't say anything,neither the second or third.
One morning I asked, "Do you have a fixed parking space?
I've noticed we park far from the entrance even when there are no other cars in the lot."
To which he replied, "Since we're here early we'll have time to walk, and whoever gets in late will be late and need a place closer to the door. Don't you think?"
Imagine my face.

Nowadays, there's a movement in Europe name Slow Food.
This movement establishes that people should eat and drink slowly, with enough time to taste their food, spend time with the family, friends, without rushing.

Slow Food is against its counterpart: the spirit of Fast Food and what it stands for as a lifestyle.
Slow Food is the basis for a bigger movement called Slow Europe, as mentioned by Business Week.

Basically, the movement questions the sense of "hurry" and "craziness" generated by globalization, fueled by the desire of "having in quantity" (life status) versus "having with quality", "life quality" or the "qualityof being".
French people, even though they work 35 hours per week, are more productive than Americans or British.
Germans have established 28.8 hour workweeks and have seen their productivity been driven up by 20%.
This slow attitude has brought forth the US's attention, pupils of the fast and the "do it now!"

This no-rush attitude doesn't represent doing less or having lower productivity.
It means working and doing things with greater quality, productivity, perfection, with attention to detail and less stress.
It means reestablishing family values, friends, free and leisure time.
Taking the "now," present and concrete, versus the "global", undefined and anonymous.
It means taking essential values, the simplicity of living.

It stands for a less coercive work environment, more happy, lighter and more productive where humans enjoy doing what they know best how to do.
It's time to stop and think on how companies need to develop serious quality with no-rush that will increase productivity and the quality of products and services, without losing the essence of spirit.

In the movie, Scent of a Woman, there's a scene where Al Pacino asks a girl to dance and she replies, "I can't, my boyfriend will be here any minute now".
To which Al responds, "A life is lived in an instant". Then they dance to a tango.

Many of us live our lives running behind time, but we only reach it when we die of a heart attack or in a car accident rushing to be on time.
Others are so anxious of living the future that they forget to live the present,which is the only time that truly exists.
We all have equal time throughout the world.
No one has more or less.
The difference lies in how each one of us does with our time.
We need to live each moment. As John Lennon said, "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans".

Congratulations for reading till the end of this message. There are many who will have stopped in the middle so as not to waste time in this globalized world.
