About Puan Sri....

Puan Sri Natasya is getting better.... after 4 days warded, 2 1/2 botol air, ubat, vitamin, dan macam macam lagi laa... akhirnya Puan Sri dibenarkan pulang.

The first day, she wasnt eating at all. So we gave her gel vitamin (forced-feeding). I was buntu of not knowing what to make Puan Sri makan. The vet said, she has eaten a little bit and try to keep on monitoring her meals.

Finally, when adik dhada saw me had difficult time on keep my eye to Puan Sri, she asked bibik tu rebus ayam - I wasnt so sure for what. So, she gave Puan Sri air rebusan ayam, she still didnt want it, and she try to give ayam yang dia dah penyek penyek pakai jari - WALLLLOOOAAPPPPSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS - ZASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS- PUAN SRI MAKAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YABADABEDUUUUUUU

Oleh itu, petuanya di sini BY EXPERIMENT - kalau kucing tak nak makan, atau hilang selera makan, kasi makan ayam! kekekekekekekke

So what happened when adik dhada concentrate to Puan Sri, ENGINE SUDAH MERAJUK.......



Dia tidur atas meja menunjukkan di memberontak! kekekekkee

Buat dek je bila orang panggil dia.. nak ajak masuk bilik.


Memekak kan telinga!


SABAR JE KUCING NI....

"Happiness is not a destination. It is a method of life."





Hmmmmm I got this from Che Nor - lovely kozin in Minesota - and I do hope that all of my friends here could pray for her health... so we still can hear her laugh, notty stories and hillarious gossip! (opsss)
Well, we had the article posted in my office - the be specific, right infront of our boss's door. It was like 2 months ago. I dare not to take it out, just afraid if HE is the one who posted the article, until I got it from Che Nor today.
and another email came along with the attachment:

Assalamualaikum wrt wbt

Dear friends,

Its hard to explain, and difficult for me to share this article I received from a friend. But, sometimes it does come across in our day to day life - without any 'sabr' we may turn to 'a monster'. Or end up, by doing the task/job ourselves!! And yet, if this keep on going on in our organization, it could be harm to all of us as well as to the organization.

So, let me put it this way.... for those who always dealing with the 'related individuals' stated in the article, please be cool and use ASSERTIVE SKILLS to handle them. Learn how to EXPLAIN and let them know the CONSEQUENCES of their attitudes. Or perhaps, if they do the mistake, correct them IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT DELAY.

And for those who feel that you are the person mentioned in the article, PLEASE BE CAREFUL. LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKE and TAKE OWNERSHIP of your job. Built some SENSE OF BELONGING before you keep repeating doing the same mistake. REMEMBER - the definition of insane is "doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result" (Benjamin Franklin) - Thus, DO CHANGE - SO YOU CAN HELP YOURSELF and of course, THOSE WHO WORK WITH YOU TOO.

Wallahu'alam.




And about this litte bird, we caught him with bare hands - he was trapped in a room where we want to have our lunch at Sungai Burung. Now we know why the place is called 'Sungai Burung'. Memang banyak burung rupanya!

Puan Sri Natasya dan Tan Sri Tommy

Puan Sri yang warna oren nih.... she is the one who is still in the Vet Hospital. Please pray for her ya.... the vet said she hasnt improve much. She has lost her appetite. Does not want to eat. Huhuhuh........

Ya Allah, selamatkan laaa Puan Sri Natasya nih..


Tan Sri Tommy yang warna grey + white. He is as active as usual. Businessman laa katakan. Memang sebuk. But we do believe that he misses Puan Sri so much.

Bakawali Yang Mengembang

Semalam, berkembanglah lagi satu lagi spesis bunga bakawali yang ada pada taman kami. Cantik kan? Berbanding dengan yang dulu.




Kalau kawan kawan selak page yang lama lama, ada lagi bunga bakawali tu... tapi yang ni, yang baru je kembang. We got the baka from ML's house.

Puan Sri Natasya

Huhuhu... sedih nih... my new kitten - Tasya - sakit. She losts her appetite and murung. Huarghhh........we took her to the clinic the day mak engku was here... but nothing much improvement.

We gave her glucose, multivitamin gel - it helps her to sustain.

Cant wait.... we email a vet via one of the forum in the net. He advise us too:


Dear ********,
Sorry for the late reply, I was having meeting from the morning.
Without looking at your kitten, it is quite difficult for me to tell you what is wrong with her. One thing for sure, if she does not have vaccination as yet, the chances of her contracting viral infection are there, some of them can be fatal. There are test kits available at the vet clinic to test for important fatal viral infections for cat. I'm not sure whether the vet you have visited conduct the screening but I do believe she does. Antibiotics can help to prevent secondary bacterial infection but cannot treat viral infection if any has been confirmed.
You mentioned that your kitten has lost appetite and you are doing force-feeding now. How long has this been going on? Has she been drinking? Is her condition deteriorate since you visited the vet? Constant lost of appetite and lost of body condition can cause liver and kidney malfunction, that may leads to more complication. I do recommend you to send her for drips fearing that she might have severely dehydrated and emaciated.
Please send her to the vet immediately and do keep her warm by wrapping with towels and warm water bag if possible. If the time permits, please send her to UPM University Veterinary Hospital as soon as possible. You may look for Dr. Jason or Dr. Nor. If you can let me know your location, I may be able to recommend some of my colleagues for your reference.
Sent from my iPhone


Dr. M****************************** (Dip. AHH, DVM)

Upon receiving this email, we immidiately took Tasha to vet and get her over night for drips. Just now I called the Dr. and he said Tasha is better than yesterday, but still cant say much on her positive progress.

We do not want to take any of her picture now.... she has to be good in photo - please pray for her......... may Puan Sri can be active again. Tan Sri 'T' really miss her......

Persian Kitten - hadiah from adik dhada.
I always dream of having a persian cat - so one day, adik dhada took me to a pet shop in Melawati and she bought for the kitten - we tought the kitten was female - so kami namakan NATASHA - mmg nak kucing betina sbb nak suruh manja manja laa dgn den ni haaa-
Alih alih, after 2 weeks, the NATASHA tukar jadi NORDIN --> arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
tensen tensen. 'cek not' dia keluar laa pulak!!!
adussssssss.....
so adik dhada kesian, the night tu juga, pergi ke KOTA KEMUNING (branch kedai yang beli 'natasha') dan beli seko lagi dan yang ni betul betul betina.... kami namakan TASHA. Yang NATASHA tu jadi TOMMY.

Terima Email Yang Menarik......


Pagi ini, psycheupp dapat email yang menarik.... saja nak share dengan kawan kawan di sini:


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Saya sebagai lelaki rasa tercabar apabila isteri saya sering mewar-warkan kepada saya bahawa umur saya dah melewati 40 tahun. Life starts at 40.. 'Kalau U rasa U nak pasang lagi satu, I izinkan', kata isteriku.. Bila berangan tentang nak kahwin lain ni memanglah seronok. Tersengih- sengih aje lah I at that time. 'Dunia ni dah terbalik gamaknya, kawan-kawan aku siap pegi Siam sana nak nikoh lagi satu, ni bini aku siap suruh pasang sorang lagi...?!' Tak tahulah kalau isteri I tu main reverse psikologi dengan I. Tapi lepas I berfikir panjang, rasa-rasanya tak nak lah. Sebab apa ? Bila mengenangkan umur I yang dah 40+. Let's say kalau I kahwin dengan anak dara, katakan umur 22 tahun. Memang lah seronok beb. Seronok benda yang kat dalam seluar dalam tu aje lah. Tentang makan minum, pakai I, kemas rumah dan kegemaran I, rasa nya I tentu asyik teringatkan my first wife. Tak perlu nak ajar, I suka makan apa, cam mana cara nak masaknya, baju I kena gosok cam gini, kalau I bangun tidur I suka kalau my wife dah siapkan segala gala nya lah. Tak perlu I bagitau, dia dah tahu apa I suka. Cerita apa I suka kat TV, teh atau kopi manis macam mana, hobi apa, sukan kegemaran ... semua dia dah tahu. Tak perlu start balik macam zaman umur 20-an dulu ... Rasa rasa dapat ke isteri muda I suruh buat gitu, tentu dia banyak ragam. Ye lah dia muda, I kan dah tua. Mesti dia kata I ni mengada-ngada. Sure I yang kena manjakan dia lebihlah, sebab dia muda. Silap haribulan, takut lari lak, kan ...

Isteri muda ni bukan macam yang dah bersama dgn kita sejak muda. Kalau kita rasa isteri tua banyak belanja, isteri yang muda pasti lagi teruk. Eh, budak 20-an zaman sekarang, dengan henbeg Gucci, dengan nak tudung kain Mawi dan henpon jenama Nokia N95, Itu tak termasuk kereta, paling korok pun mesti nak Honda atau Toyota . Perempuan muda sekarang mana main naik Proton atau Perodua. Kalau I tak bagi barang-barang tu, dia tak nak bagi 'barang' dia lak malam-malam. Sedangkan dengan isteri tua, awal-awal kahwin naik motorsikal cabuk pun sanggup, berpanas berhujan, dukung anak kita dicelah motor tu.
Ahh ... terkenang juga zaman 'miskin' dulu tu. Rumah dengan bini tua dulu pun setakat apartmet 3 bilik. Tidur atas tilam nipis, dapur pun kecik, perkakas pun tak banyak. Oh, untuk isteri muda, terpaksa aku buat OT untuk bayar rumah teres dua tingkat tu, nak bayar peti ais Samsung dan TV Sony Bravia 40-inci mu itu ... Dah umur 40-an ni, darah tinggi lak aku ni kena buat OT setiap hari ... hari minggu pun kena cari duit ... nak tengok bola pun tak dapat ....

Lebih haru lagi, tentu anak anak I akan memberontak sakan. Yelah sekarang ni kanbanyak kes bapak kahwin lain anak-anak lebih tertekan. Ramai jadi liar, hisap dadah, jadi mat rempit dan bohsia. Sebab tension bapak kawin baru. Takut mereka menjauhkan diri dari I, malah akan membenci pula. Disebabkan masyarakat kita ni memandang serong pada keluarga yang bapak mereka kahwin lebih dari satu.. Kalau I ada anak dengan isteri baru, tentu kecik sangat lagi di masa I dah tua dan memerlukan perhatian dari anak-anak. Sedangkan rumah isteri muda tengah hiruk pikuk dengan anak anak kecil (kandah ada experience dengan isteri pertama –bagaimana kelam kabutnya dia menguruskan anak-anak) Sedangkan di rumah isteri tua, anak anak dah besar, boleh tolong mak dan sedang seronok bergurau senda bersama ibunya membincangkan topik-topik terkini dan juga kehidupan mereka.
Duduk rumah bini muda, I yang tua-tua ni lak kena salin pampers dan bagi baby mandi. haha ... kalau tak buat, takut isteri muda merajuk pulak. Tak boleh jadik nih. Banyak benda yang kena repeat. Mula mula kawin tentu seronok. Paling lama setahun-dua. Bila dah ada anak,tanggungjawab baru bermula semula sebagaimana dengan isteri pertama dulu-dulu. Tapi masa ni kita dah tak larat nak basuh berak anak, nak pegi shopping beli baju anak anak, nak dukung anak-anak. Leceh lah nak kena teman isteri muda buat semua tu. Silap haribulan orang kata tengah pilih baju cucu. Eii tak sanggup pula. Paling takut, orang ingat isteri muda tu anak I ... lagi haru ... Balik rumah mertua pula, teringatkan masa akad nikah dulu, beria ria kita nak kananak dia. Lepas tu kita kawin lagi satu. Tentu muka nih tak tahu nak letak kat mana. Orang tua tak kannak straight to the point. Tanya itu ini. Kalau dia nak bercakap tentang tu cukup dengan jelingan dan kerlinganmata,buat kita dah tak senang duduk. Tak kan raya asyik balik umah mak mertua baru aje. Apatah lagi kalau I ni lak umur nak sama dengan mak-bapak mertua baru I tu ......

Hish banyak lah lagi. Bagi korang yang suka berbincang pasal benda yang indah indah kawin dua nih silakanlah. Tapi bagi I selagi hayat dikandung badan, selagi tu lah I tak nak tambah. Tak nak lah mendabik dada. Cakap besar. Tapi sekadar menurutkan nafsu dan benda dalam seluar tu rasanya tak pernah kurang pun layanan isteri pertama terhadap I. Keluarga ni, kita bina keluarga bahagia yang di depan mata. Bukannya yang di dalam kepala. Bukannya di dalam seluar dalam je. Hadapi hari esok yang tentu dengan keluarga yang banyak mengharungi susah senang dari mula.. Pengorbanan isteri (walaupun kadang kala dia pernah merungut salah kita juga, cuai dan mengabaikannya) .


Apa apa pun semuanya bermula dengan kita. Insaflah. Kalau nak ikut nabi, rasa rasanya solat subuh pun kita terlepas kalau isteri tu tak kejutkan. Bukan nak kata solat Subuh, kekadang waktu lain pun terlambat atau terlepas. Baca Quran pun sekali-sekala, baca Yassin pun hanya bila ada orang meninggal. Ikut sunnah Nabi apa nama tu. Tak payah lah yang lain lain. Kang ada yang nangis bila disebutkan. Cukuplah. Sesungguhnya amat bertuahlah suami-suami yang mempunyai isteri yang menyuarakan pendapat di ruangan ni. Membuktikan mereka sayang, kasih dan cinta pada kalian. Apa sangatlah kita nih. Macam nabi konon. ye ke? Bab kawin kawin aje nih cam nabi. Bab menegakkan benda dalam seluar dalam je nak ikut sunnah. Cuba bab menegakkan agama Islam,masih lagi terkial kial.

Wallahualam.

SyuKuR




Alhamdulillah...... I am very very grateful with what has been given to me. All my prayers, after more than 30 years were answered by God, one by one... thanks Allah.
Oh ya... Laugh/Humor Therapy has been my 'makanan' lately. It helps me alot to heal my wounds and from my observations, in deed, laugh and humor help to fresh your mind and health. Mak Engku for instance, macam macam ada, but she looks younger.. younger that people at her age! Why? She laughs .......
So, I learn, read, acquire as much as knowledge I could, and went US to seek more more knowledge about it... Australia, and many other places until I feel equipt enough to deliver it in my own way.
I have been presenting this in many goverment offices, NGOs, universities and many others... at the moment.. up to now laa kan..... semuanya positive feedback.
Sampaikan UPM pun... panggil buat Humor/Laugh Therapy - apa lagi... member naik sheikh laa..... UPM, PJ student pulak tu, yang glemer dengan kenakalannya.... huh........ gempak! Sampai tak cukup audi di UPM tuh.... minta extra chair lagi... others di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, ILKAP, Peguam Negara, Jabatan Perkhidmatan Awam Malaysia.... bla bla bla bla....
Apa pun, terima kasih pada semua yang membekal kan keyakinan dan kesungguhan dalam melakukan sesuatu tugas dari hati, jiwa yang ikhlas.... berkat nya, Hanya Allah yang Maha Ketahui.


And recently, I was invited to give a talk on Laugh/Humor Therapy at Jabatan Perdana Menteri (JPM) - and it was expected around100 participants. It was fine with me... normally I did Laugh/Humor Therapy in 30 pax, the less is 5 pax.




But I just do not know what on earth has been transending the organization, there were 400 pax came in my session !!!!!!!!!!!!!! and the auditorium was fulled from morning untill the afternoon session! dari bahagian bawah, hingga ke atas!!!!






The urusetia was shocked with the crowd and all of them came out from the auditorium with full of energy!!!







Bagi mereka yang telah menghadiri sesi ini, TERIMA KASIH BANYAK BANYAK. MOGA IA MEMBERI MANFAAT KEPADA SEMUA. AMALKAN, KONGSIKAN BERSAMA ORANG DI SEKELILING KITA.

Holistic Health?




For me, the true healing is an affirmation of wholeness and holiness-all practices are valuable if they are recognized as aids to self actualization. This psychological elements are very significant to our needs. All of us begin to explore ourselves and become sensitive to our own emotions, thoughts and behaviors - untill we are able to choose the right practices to meet those needs.





Since I know the outside world, get out from the shell created in my mind, I sense that all of us are affected by the Universal Life Energy - now I realise that Logic is not everything - there are many things that in our process of accelerated growth there area area of metaphysical discovery and spiritual development. From there, I see that my fixed, unflexible, irrational belief systems actually have defined by my childhood for a long time - BUT ALHAMDULILLAH, WITH A CLEAR MIND, I HAVE LEARNT TO REST, REFLECT, AND REJUVENATE MYSELF - I BEGIN TO LEARN TO ENJOY MY ROLE, BE CREATIVE AND BECOME FREE OF FEAR. For those who are concerned, THANKS SO MUCH, and for another groups what MAY concern, I FORGIVE ALL.......

Rindunya Kampung Ku


When you have a strong bonding with mom and dad, you will always attach yourself at home. I miss Mak and Abah..... they call me almost everyday, chat at YM every morning, share stories and feelings... I MISS THEM IF I DONT hear their voice! Kelakar tuh, Mak and myself, both of us bought the same 3G handphones so we can see / talk face to face.
One thing when I am in JB, the piano starts to sing. Mak said, adik Jan dah jarang-jarang play the piano - sibuk sangat......... sampai bertutup and di jadikan meja perhiasan!! So, bila balik, Mak Engku pasti akan Bukak Badan Piano tu!


This is a place where we have our lunch, breakfast, dinner, chating, and macam macam lah!! Huarrggggg RINDUNYA NAK BALIK JB!

Hear The Hamster Roars


Yesterday my sister told me that there will be a little bit disapointment after certain rules will be implemented by the management - as if the staffs were BAD BAD and BAD. They decided to monitor time out, time in and where the staffs go. Well, she said, its better if the management starts doing like the old days. Buku Rekod Kehadiran Keluar Masuk Pegawai. Sesiapa yang nak keluar, jumpa CC, catat dalam buku rekod - jadi tak ler rasa bersalah sangat kalau keluar awal pun sbb dah maklum pada CC. And definately, it will be more on the individual and not too obvious - now, there are two so-called 'pengawas' will go down early and pantau sesiapa yang keluar awal, dan pulang lewat. Hearing that, kelakar pun ada, geram pun ada. Macam zaman sekolah pulak ya?!

But I think, yang buat kerja keluar awal balik awal nih tak ramai - ada lah segelintir... tapi padahnya? Natijahnya? Semua pegawai laa kan????

Kalau kawan kawan ada idea macam mana nak buek dengan perkaro nih..cuba cuba yang bagi pandangan.

Kau Ilhamku............

KAU ILHAMKU:
(Standing on left: Dr Norzah, Adik Dhada)
Sitting on the left: Abah, Adik Anna, Adik Jan and Mak)



Beribu bintang dilangit

Kini menghilang
Meraba aku dalam kelam
Rembulan mengambang
Kini makin suram
Pudar ilhamku tanpa arah
Sedetik wajahmu muncul
Dalam diam
Ada kerdipan ada sinar
Itukah bintang atau rembulan
Terima kasih kuucapkan
Izinkan kumencuri bayangan wajahmu
Izinkan ku mencuri khayalan denganmu
Maafkanlah oh...
Andai lagu ini
Mengganggu ruangan hidupmu
Kau senyumlah oh...Sekadar memori
Kita di arena ini
Kau ilhamku
Kau ilhamku...



ROAD TO HEAVEN


Cantik pulak bila tengok gambar lama lama nih................... jalan yang dilalui sepanjang hidup ini penuh dengan ranjau. Dan jika mahu dijadikan novel, tentu berjela-jela panjangnya. Tapi, kehidupan ini mesti diteruskan. Sama ada duka atau suka. Betul tak?

She Loves The Authentics

Dear readers,

Sometimes when people dont understand they could easily say things that may hurt someone else. Or may be they just trying to make fool and being fun to others, unknowingly the words they use really heart throbbing! They just dont get the point that the statement they posed actually can be misinterpreted wrongly.

Words can kill you know.... really do kill many people. Those students, who decided to end their lives just because they got E,D or C in exams... why? Because perhaps they just cant cope with nasty words thay may be thrown up into their face.... Huh!!!!! And it happened to me too. I didnt watch TV for many many years... why? Because I remember the words given to me......... arghhhhh........

For those who were given such bad impressions with only one visit, one communication, one interaction, one meeting or even just because of the hear-say... dont be sad... you know yourself better..... the closed ones know you deeper.... take a deep breath, relax and enjoy - biar la luncai TERJUN dengan labu labu nya........

Since kita dah let go the luncai dan the labu labu, let us talk some thing else... more up close and personal.

I was using my sis's laptop and I found this ... kekkekekeke... (sorry ya dik!) ... she took all her hanbags collections - and yang menarik perhatian I was this one........... I always tease her NOT to ask me to take any thing from this bag - if she wants to see her bag in a good condition la..... why? sbb I ni terlalu 'kuat' nanti putus pulak zip beg kawan........



Macam mana ek.. dia ada ajar macam mana nak baca kod beg LV nih.... Mak kat JB pun ada tapi bukan stail cam nih... kod tu menunjukkan kat mana beg LV ni dibuat.. contohnya kalau S (SD, SL dan lain lain) dari Paris. Ada juga yang dibuat di Paris special edition (A1, A2, AA, AAS) kalau yg telah di ubah suai - repair kod dia lain pulak.. kata adik dhada, kot dia mungkin CO, CT, DK

Ada juga beg LV yang dibuat di spain, especially kod yang mula dari L macam LB, LM, LW dan kalau dari Italy pulak kod dia BC, BO, CE, FO, MA, RC, RE, SA. Haaa dari Switzerland pulak kod dia DI, FA.

Mcam macam.. cara nak baca pun lain..... adik dhada kata kod tu tentang tahun dan minggu beg itu dibuat... amboiiii detail cam tu sekali.. patut leer bila time beli handbag dia belek belek belek..... bukak beg tu.. kuarkan kertas kertas/plastik plastik dalam beg... nguper ngupe ada rahsia....

Tu laa kan... kalau orang tak faham, orang akan kata individu cam ni cerewet laa.. particular laa... tapi.... nak memastikan ke authenticity satu satu benda yang dibeli.... hmmmm

One of the handbags in her closet.......................... but she rarely use this one..... it just look as new as when it was first bought. And I sneaking listen to her one day... that she wants to have another one of this collection - hmmmmm.... tengah kumpul duit ke dik? (kekekekkeke)



Adik dhada may be look unfriendly.... but she is really nice.. she has the brain, and she has the talent (of course not in singing!!).....she is one of the kind.... and I am proud to have a sister like her. And her 'Lantak Therapy' really works!

Only My Two Cent

This morning I had a discussion with my sister regarding the use of English for Maths and Science. And I was referring to Tun M's - a dissapointment. I do not know how to respond on that intelligently but I could share my experience being one of the transition pupils way back in many many years ago when the use of Bahasa Malaysia/Melayu in schools were established strongly from Bahasa Inggeris.

Akibatnya????

Semua mata pelajaran di ajar dalam Bahasa Melayu .. walllaaaaaa - seronok laaa sebab mudah, faham, dan jelas. Tapi, of all the siblings, I felt away far behind. When everybody communicate either English or Bahasa N9. And it IS in the family now - dua pilihan saja...sehinggakan gathering yang melibatkan nenek nenek dan anak anak kecil pun Bahasa Inggeris digunakan. Hmmm I wonder where is Bahasa N9 in their hearts.

Back to Tun M's dissapointment.... I think Tun's way of thinking is sharpe until not many of us can follow and understood him. The idea of teaching Maths and Science in English is for me to prepare our nations not only good in english but to develop self confidence. My sister did mention that some of our students at OVC cant even speak proper English and that make them belittled - less confident - low self esteem. However, they are good in written english. But written english can only be seen when they do their assigments, exams and other courseworks. Physically - spoken english is poor. Thus, it is not suprising when our students gather among themselves, speak local malay kampung slang and watched malay movie in winter!

Tapi, I do feel (I think laaa kann - perasan sekejap) what Tun M's felt - letih bila kita pandang terlalu jauh dan orang lain tak nampak kebaikkannya. And that was me - sometimes I cried why some people cant just understand my idea - do they far back behind than me? And due to that I always regarded as the NGO's in the service - pembangkang - the wierdo! But I have my personal coach that help me to ADJUST- ya... ADJUSMENT is the fine word.............

Or perhaps do we have to be like the Japanese or French ? Proud of their language and memertabatkan bahasa mereka? Tapi, kita harus lihat juga...... berapa banyak buku buku ilmiah yang telah diterjemahkan dalam bahasa mereka? Kita perlu lihat betapa giatnya bangsa ini memperkembangkan ilmu? Kita perlu lihat sikap bangsa ini dalam perkembangan ilmu. Kita perlu lihat betapa aktifnya pengkaji pengkaji, pensyarah pensyarah dan lay man menghasilkan buku buku mereka. Sikap rakyat yang suka membaca, mencipta dan memberi. Adakah semua ini dalam masyarakat kita?


Cite pasa Paris ni, ada lagi new experience waktu di sana....... remember I shared with you about our trip to Paris via bus? And this is how the 'bus train' - Bas naik Train - masa nak ke Paris dari London. Muat muat je bas tu masuk dalam kontena keretapi ni...driver dia mesti la cekap kan? And the driver dont even speak english!!!! Terang terang dia cakap kat imigresen - " I DONT SPEAK ENGLISH- NOT UNDERSTAND!" dan bila sampai station die jerit 'FINISSHHHHHH'

Sampai sampai cari kedai kedai yang BESHHHHHHHHHHHH......

Dekat dengan area area LURVE MUSEUM

Music of Life OR Life of Music?

Some people may still mouring for MJ's death. But I like to share about how music sometimes has been given negative view by our society. The world of music agrees that music holds a natural magic that can unite human being - just in MJ's famous songs - Black or White, We are the World and many more... yet, our society offer much of criticism and questions of the do's and the dont's about music - and often see musicians mismanage, misunderstand and even discriminate againts the so-called 'dos and donts'



Perhaps from my view, musicians use much of their right brain - and the right brainers have different way of doing things, seing things, and all the odds for the left brainers. So, the right brainers use music and it gives an affect on memory and it is intriguing.
Music like Mozart and Baroque, both have a 60 beats per minute beat pattern, and indirectly activate the left and right brain of which maximizes learning and retention of information. Also, activities which engage both sides of the brain at the same time, such as playing an instrument or singing, causes the brain to be more capable of processing information.
I see MJ as a right brainer - his songs, his movements, and his way of thinking - even though I have not seen him talked more than 30 minutes, but I do believe he was a thinker - introverted - and only pour his ideas in a small group of people. Yet, the world has created the so called 'evil genius'.
Apa pun, Al Fatehah to MJ, may be rest in peace - Ameen.

Its PAINFULL....

Alhamdulillah..... I am back on my feet, eventhough am not really 'pulih sepenuhnya'. Was first diagnosed with gastric, then urine infection ...... after few restless nights and japs I cant stand the pain - from clinic to Emergency Department - no one explained what actually happened. Until and finally get ML's assistant - with all the contacts - Pengarah Hospital - baru laaa nak terkejar kejar....... baru laaaa nak buat KUB..... baru laaa nak wat itu nak wat ini!!! Huh...... DUNIA kan?... thanks to ML - thanks so much ya!

Then, I was referred to GH, but Mak and Abah wanted us to go back. They said that we should try an alternative way... bukan nak percaya.... but I know they cared about me... they just want me to be infront of their eyes. Mak already set me at Hospital Abdul Samad, where she did all her treatments, appointment with Dr Nor - our family clinic at Taman Perbadanan Islam, JB.

Sampai sampai JB (Adik drove the red Merc like Formula One!) terus ke rumah Pak Ali - an alternative healer from Madura - suspen juga..... because all nights I was in pain, can I trust this old man - with only mandi air limau can he really cured the pain????

He was furious at first - maklumlah kami sampai lewat ke rumah dia...seems that he refused to help us, but abah talked, mak pun sama.... finally he took the limau (semua bahan2 dah abah sediakan bila kami sampai JB) and asked me to mandi 3 times and come again the next day.

We went back - mandi (the pain started) then, sebelum tidur, mandi lagi - at night I was so so worried if the pain came back (normally at 1.00 am - 3.00 am)... mak and abah, many times 'jengok' me on bed - risau kalau kalau sakit menyerang lagi.. ALHAMDULILLAH... that NIGHT I SLEPT WITHOUT ANY PAIN !!!

Early in the morning, before abah go to Daik (for a ceremony) he took us there -- and Pak Ali started his ritual - he took the limau, belah dua and asked me to baring on a bed - adik dhada was there- adik Ana and Adik Jan menjadi saksi for the following day - what he did was........

Belah limau sunkist kepada dua bahagian



Sapu limau kat belakang, area buah pinggang dan area yang dia tanya sakit.




This is the magic - dia buat cam di bawah nih... terus keluar batu-batu tuh!


Ni la rupa nya batu batu tuh



Sepatutnya 3 kali datang but he has to go back to Madura after 35 years stay in Malaysia... so, the third treatment perhaps in August. But after that, he said better for me to go to the doctor and check again....... just incase lah kan....
So the next day, we went to see pur family doctor and did the scan - suprisingly... the 2 stones dah tak de........ hmmmmmmmm ........ apapun.... janji dah tak sakit!! cuma doktor kata mungkin dah pecah dan boleh keluar ikut saluran air kencing...
Sekarang ni tak laa fit sangat.. perhaps due to the pain killer tuh... but tak lah sakit... alhamdulillah sangat sangat dan syukur pada Allah.
Thanks to mak and abah... adik yang menjaga sepanjang malam... adik ana dan adik jan, yang turut hantar ke sana sini..... and all the family...

I am Glad....

In the previous posting, I did mention about my ex-student Ah Kim - and we met in London - we had a great time and he is just like he was in school. And the other week, Ah Haw - another my ex student, came to visit me - both are brilliant and top student in school.

So we talked until 2.00am!!! about what? kekekeke about old old stories - he still remembered the song I taught - Setangkai Kembang Melati... ahhh ahhhh... and sang it sampai habis!!! kekekek so fun!

And bibik prepared for us a simple BBQ - we ate ate ate gelak gelak gelak and talked about life experience that has been a great teacher to us.



This is Ah Haw

Baiti Jannati


Ini lah kucing kesayangan adik - latelyI got a very bad gastrik - and engine help me to ease the pain - well, now I do believe in pet's therapy - and thanks engine.






Lama juga tak update cerita pasal rumah - nothing special about it, but alhamdulillah.....the house is the symbol of love in our family... so, it must look good, serene dan peace... so mak and abah can be proud of for having us as their children and Engine of course - bring laughter to us - makan bersuap, makan sayur, breakfast roti and telur - ishhhhhhh SPOILT BETUL KUCING DHADA NIH!




Did I tell you guys that nenek fell and hurt herself? It happened a few days after we came back from UK. She was 'playing' hide and seek with the chicken - its not hers - but the neighbours- so happen she fell and 'terhantuk kat tanah - berdarah and she went into the house minta panadol- out of my aunty's suprised, she saw the blood at her anak tudung - apa lagi lah.... mak took her to the clinic and so funny she said to the doctor "tu laaaaaa tak dengar cakap anak...kan dah jatuh" - kekekekek uchu told her not to go out because no one is at home -- hmmmmmmmmm kan dah jatuh!





So, mak and abah took her to our house - ubah angin - she was so excited.. pagi pagi se awal 5am dah siap nak ke KL - kekekekek and the next day, the kozins came over. We had KFC (nek's favourite), and sate - syok makan ramai ramai.



We are free to talk - nothing much of protocols - BEBASSSSS - and you can always be YOURSELF.
