Pensyarah: kenapa kamu lambat?
Comel: sebab bas tu lambat sampai..
Pensyarah : Kenapa kamu naik bas lambat?
Comel: sebab saya bangun lambat
Pensyarah: kenapa kamu bangun lambat?
sambil memikirkan jawapan seterusnya, Comel membuat cubaan terakhir untuk melepaskan diri dengan memberikan satu alasan lagi...
Comel: sebab semalam mak saya suruh saya menggiling cili sampai pukul 2 pagi sebab nak buat jualan pagi ini......
Pensyarah: bukan ke kamu pernah kata yang mak kamu seorang pengubah muzik?
comel.....kantoi........
Apa yang cuba saya sampaikan disini, melalui pengalaman saya sebagai seorang pensyarah, saya pernah mendengar pelbagai alasan dari pelajar-pelajar didalam percubaan menyelamatkan diri. Kadangkala mengingatkan saya tentang diri saya juga. Tidak dinafikan saya juga pernah lambat, tapi saya berterus terang dengan mengatakan saya terlupa tentang kelas tersebut. Memang agak pedih untuk di dengari oleh seorang penyarah, tetapi di benak fikiran saya adalah lebih selamat untuk mengatakan yang sebenarnya dari membuat cerita baru.
Percayalah, mengaku tentang kesalahan dan bercerita benar adalah lebih mudah dari menipu. Ini adalah apabila kita menipu, kita akan mencari cerita yang sesuai dengan penipuan kita dan pendengar dapat menangkap yang kita menipu disaat terdapat babak-babak yang tidak logik dalam penceritaan kita.
Lagi pula, tenaga yang diperlukan untuk menipu jauh lebih banyak dari menceritakan yang sebenarnya.
Apa pula hubungan antara menipu dengan hendak seribu dalih, tak hendak seribu daya?
Jawapannya,
Sedar tak sedar , dari sehari ke sehari kita semua sentiasa memberikan seribu satu alasan kepada sesiapa sahaja. Ini adalah kerana kita tidak hendak melakukannya atau tidak menyukainya, tetapi kita akan menutup ketidaksudiaan kita dengan alasan-alasan yang bukan sahaja tidak munasabah malah mudahsarawak ( orang sabah dan sarawak jangan marah aaa....hanya digunakan sebagai penyedap kata...),
bukti yang kita tidak sudi untuk membuat sesuatu atau tak suka akan sesuatu atau seseorang adalah seperti berikut:-
- kita terpaksa berhempas pulas mencari idea tentang alasan yang munasabah dan kelihatan logik;
- kita terpaksa mengambil masa untuk mencari alasan, tidak boleh memberikan alasan dengan segera;
-kita terpaksa tersenyum yang kelihatan seperti senyum kambing atau senyuman tahap 'dua', (cuba senyum sambil mengebut perkataan dua)
- kita berasa bersalah selepas memberikan alasan yang kelihatan mantap tadi;
- kita masih memikirkan alasan-alasan yang seterusnya walaupun baru sahaja memberikan alasan.
Berbeza pula dengan hendak seribu daya...
Apabila kita mengkehendaki sesuatu, kita akan cari perlbagai cara dan kaedah untuk memungkinkan kita mendapatkannya, buktinya adalah seperti berikut:-
- kita akan berhempas pulas mencari alasan yang meyakinkan;
- kita tidak sama sekali berasa bersalah dengan alasan yang diberikan; malah berbangga pula..
- kita akan menceritakan pula alasan-alasan hebat yang kita berikan kerana kita menginginkan sesuatu.
akan bersambung.....

Apabila siKaya menasihati siMiskin supaya bersabar
Seringkali kita melihat di paparan televisyen dengan rancangan keIslaman yang mana panel-panel berkobar-kobar dan penuh bersemangat menasihati umat Islam. Isi kandungannya berulang-ulang dan setiap kali penceritaannya sama . Begitu juga di dada-dada akhbar dan juga majalah-majalah, perkara yang sama dan nasihat yang sama. Yang membezakan hanya penulisnya atau penceramahnya.
Berbalik kepada panel-panel yang sentiasa memberi nasihat, mereka jika dilihat dari mata kasar, memang mempunyai kedudukan tinggi di mata masyarakat. Memang sudah pasti mereka harus berkedudukan tinggi, barulah orang ramai akan mempercayai kata-kata hikmah mereka.
Tetapi pernah kah kita terfikir mengapa apa yang di nasihatkan atau yang di lontarkan seolah-olah tidak dapat di serap malah merasakan seperti mereka tidak cuba memahami apa realitinya? sepertinya apa yang mereka katakan itu hanya 'syok sendiri'?
Bagaimanakah orang yang tak pernah susah, tak pernah miskin, tak pernah tak cukup duit memahami akan penderitaan dan kehidupan orang yang susah, orang yang menjaga ahli keluarga sakit kronik, orang yang menjaga keluarga cacat, orang yang mempunyai keluarga yang ramai, orang yang sakit kronik, orang yang di landa musibah?
Bagaimanakah orang yang kelihatan kaya itu menasihati orang yang susah atau miskin tentang kesabaran? tentang jangan berputus asa apabila di landa musibah?
Adakah penasihat-penasihat kaya itu memahami apa perasaanya apabila hanya tinggal RM 3.00 dalam
dompet untuk bekalan seminggu lagi?
Adakah mereka memahami bagaimana rasanya apabila menjaga ibu bapa yang sakit tetapi tidak mempunyai wang untuk mendapatkan rawatan?
Adakah mereka memahami bagaimana rasanya apabila tiada wang untuk menghantar anak-anak belajar?
Adakah mereka memahami perasaan apabila tiada wang dan terpaksa menanggung ahli keluarga yang sakit teruk?
Adakah mereka memahami perasaan dan keseksaan yang dialami oleh mualaf-mualaf yang ikhlas mencari cinta ALLAH?
Adakah mereka memahami bagaimana perasaan apabila dipandang hina hanya kerana menjadi miskin?
Adakah mereka memahami bagaimana seksanya menaiki pengangkutan awam yang mana hanya orang yang terpaksa dari sehari ke sehari menggunakannya yang fahami susah payahya untuk ke dan pulang dari tempat kerja?
Adakah mereka memahami kesusahan dan kepayahan orang-orang miskin tegar di bandar, mereka ini adalah orang-orang seperti anda semua dan saya juga, yang bekerja keras dan hanya mampu hidup kais pagi makan pagi, kais petang makan petang dari sehari ke sehari?
Jawapan kepada semua persoalan diatas mungkin berbeza mengikut pandangan individu. Tetapi hakikatnya, penasihat-penasihat Agama atau orang-orang yang dikatakan orang atasan :-
Yang duduk di kerusi empuk,
Kerja di dalam bilik pejabat yang sejuk,
Mungkin tidak pernah menjenguk orang susah,
Menaiki kereta mewah yang harganya hanya mencecah setengah juta,
Jarang sekali melakukan kerja rumah kerana ramai amah dan bibik yang membantu,
Yang bekerja hanya 5 jam sehari itupun selepas ditolak masa makan dan minum pagi petang,
Yang mempunyai ramai pembantu di pejabat
Yang tidak perlu membawa cash kerana memiliki berpuluh-puluh credit dan debit cards,
Yang tidak pernah ingin bertegur sapa dengan tukang sapu sampah, tukang jaga bangunan dan segala
macam tukang kerana ingin menjaga 'standard'?
Mari kita lihat bagaimana Rasullullah s.a.w pula tentang bagaimana Baginda menyebarkan Islam.
Iaitu dengan kelembutan dan yang paling penting Baginda boleh membuat sesiapa sahaja rasa ada kaitan dengannya.
Kita tahu yang kisah hidup Rasullulah s.a.w penuh dengan ujian dari ALLAH. Sedari kecil sudah tidak beribu dan berayah, Baginda memahami perasaan anak-anak yatim. Zaman kanak-kanak dan remaja Baginda, beliau mengikuti pakcik dan datuknya berniaga, beliau belajar berniaga dan berdikari. Mengahwini seorang janda yang merupakan seorang usahawan berjaya dan memahami segala-nya tentang kesusahan dalam perniagaan. Sepanjang perjalanan hidup Rasullullah s.a.w penuh ranjau dan Baginda belajar dari semua itu.
Nah, itulah antara sebab mengapa perjuangan Rasullullah berjaya. Disebabkan Baginda memahari perasaan tentang susah, senang, seksa, rindu dan sebagainya itu, maka Baginda berjaya dalam dakwahnya walaupun mengambil masa berpuluh tahun untuk menyampaikan Kalam ALLAH kepada umat manusia.
Betapa kita sebagai umat Islam dan umat manusia patut berterima kasih kepada Rasullullah s.a.w
Jadi, apa pula pandangan saudara?
Mungkin saudara akan mengatakan yang saya ini berat sebelah atau 'bias'. Tetapi, saya tidak memaksa sesiapa untuk bersetuju dengan apa yang saya tulis. Manakala tentang pandangan pula, sebagai manusia kita membina pandangan hasil dari pengalaman hidup. Oleh itu, tidak ada sesiapa yang betul atau salah.
Tetapi tujuan saya menulis adalah membawa saudara cuba fikir mengapa teguran-teguran dan nasihat-nasihat, ceramah-ceramah dari orang-orang kaya itu semakin ligat dan menjadi-jadi sedangkan hakikatnya, apa yang ditegur itu juga menjadi-jadi, malah bercambah-cambah dan merebak dengan pantasnya.
Persoalannya, takkan nasihat-nasihat dan teguran-teguran itu tidak mengubah apa-apa?
Inilah yang dikatakan apabila Si Miskin atau si Orang biasa tidak dapat memahami, merasai dan meresapkan nasihat-nasihat yang cuba disampaikan disebabkan Si Kaya pemberi nasihat tidak memahami dan tidak pernah merasai apa yang Si Miskin lalui......
Wallahualam.....
Apa kata anda?

I am amazed
I am amazed by the luscious layers of the clouds
hanging kingdom in the sky
as white as can be
as pure and as vast as we can see
i am amazed
by the floating ships that sail in the seven seas
that know nothing of heavy burdens
the heavy ships seem dancing flawlessly
on the surface of the magnificent ocean
i am amazed by the pure and sincere smile of a child
innocent jugdemental not
giggling laughing and full of happy thoughts
i am amazed by the unlimited needs
of the rich and famous
they cry over trivialities while live a life so glamorous
i am amazed
by the simple desires of the poor
rice, wheat and corn are all they need to live
that's for sure
i am amazed by the patience displayed by the people in the past
difficulties, hardships
which they enjoyed triumphant at last
but most of all
i am amazed of the Almighty
for creating such beautiful creations,
for us to ponder as we see HIM in everything
Praise The Lord of the Heavens and Earth

Anak kucing jatuh kedalam longkang lagi!
Telingaku bagai dicucuk-cucuk
dengan pekikan anak kucing sepanjang malam
mata tidak dapat kupejam
ibu kucing, pemalas, pentingkan diri sentidri,
tidak memberi anakanya makan, itu yang aku fikirkan...
tiba-tiba detik hatiku berkata
tatkala pekikan tidak berkurangan
mungkin perkara itu berlaku lagi...
pagi menjelma, pekikan tidak kedengaran lagi
pulang dari kerja, kedengaran sayup-sayup suara anak kucing
seperti tidak bermaya...
aku bertekad ke belakang rumah
dan hatiku berdetik lagi..
mungkin perkara itu berulang kembali..
ku jenguk ke tempat yang sama
nah! anak kucing jatuh kedalam longkang lagi!!
longkang yang dalam dan dipenuhi air busuk datang dari rumah barisan belakang
ku lihat anak kucing dipenuhi nyamuk dan kotoran
sedihnya, pantas aku mengambil penyodok
dan mengangkat anak kucing perlahan-lahan
anak kucing itu selamat sekarang
ibu kucing seperti biasa dengan muka selambanya
hanya melihat dari jauh, huh!

what is Jihad?
Jihad, a word which often wrongly perceived
Jihad, when people heard of the word, they feel threatened of an idea they cant conceived
Jihad, for all what it really means is fight for a good fight
Taking care of your mother and father
Being there for your sister and brother
Keeping an eye, protect each other
from lurking danger
that's what we call a fight for a good fight
Daily struggle just to put food on the table
that is a fight for a good fight
carry out righteous deeds with all your might
that is a fight for a good fight
the smallest of things
you cant imagine the happiness it brings
when you constantly striving yourself in improving
that's Jihad, a fight for a good fight....

how to make your heart to be returned to you?
Often, we thought that our hearts belong to us...on the contrary, the hearts often no where to be seen and no where to be felt. This is because we are too busy doing and focusing on the worldly things, baseless worries, thingking about the unseen future, unknown destiny and fate and so forth.
The absense of the heart makes us wander and wonder. Nothing seems to be enough, nothing seems to be just and certain, nothing seems to be serene and feeling as though we're carrying a burden as big as a mountain.
When we failed to get our hearts return to us, the followings ailments will come to us:-
1. 'Ujub' or in other words constantly comparing oneself with one another; feeling superior than others; who has the most wealth, the most beautiful, the biggest house, the most expensive cars, the most intelligent, the most savings, extravagant wedding events, the highest qualifications, and all of the other acts of ensuring that everything they have should be more and more and more...
2. 'Riak'- this is when a person does good deeds for everything else, except for ALLAH. It entails the
type of sin which is not visible to the open world, only one knows the motive and mission in doing what one is doing.
3. 'Takbur'- Arrogance; a catastrophic thing which could happen to a person. This is a sin where it makes everything good that a person has done gone futile...it kills respect, it shatters relationship between our brothers and sisters in Islam and humanity.....masyAllah..
why we failed to get back our hearts?
The simplest answer would be; the hearts belong to ALLAH, and the hearts are the seat of our affections, and false dealing taints our affections; therefore give rise to the ailments mentioned above.
So, how to make your heart to be returned to you?
1. Pause and reflect, think of what do we want in this world; to seek Allah's forgiveness and to be a good Muslim and human being everyday, also ask yourselves why are we here; to be 'Khalifah' of Allah, we are here for a reason and that is to bring joy and peace to the world and to prepare and equip ourselves with good deeds for the next destination of our journey..the hereafter...because all journey ends with Allah...
2. Think positive thoughts, you will attract positive energy and hence, higher hopes for Allah's blessings and intense love felt from The Lord of the Heavens and Earth.
3. Cling to Allah ensures happiness; when we are sad or feeling terribly down, we turn to Allah and spill our hearts out, Allah responds by giving us a feeling of serenity and peace, only with Alllah the heart finds peace..
4. Contemplate and be grateful- a person will be grateful if he or she is constantly aware of the bundles of gifts given by The Giver.
To make or to bring our hearts returned to us itself is a struggle, a beautiful and wholesome struggle.
I would like to remind you and especially myself in constantly striving to be good Muslims and good human beings every minute, every hour, everyday; yes it would not be easy but it is not difficult either... InsyAllah..

Last nite's concert...
Last nite's concert was superb, it redefines my perception on concerts. For the first time in my life, ive attended a concert filled with Praises and the adoration of our Creator, ALLAH the Almighty...Subhanallah...the ambience was beautiful and the energy was strong yet peaceful...
I arrived at the Maher Zain's concert carnival approximately at 7pm, stopped by a few booths selling Islamic books and cds and dvds. I was amazed as i looked at all of the goods being sold at the carnival, I am not saying that the goods were extraordinary or luxurious, i was referring to how appealing it all looked, the layout, the energy it projected...the colourful banners and of course the colourful people..
One striking yet not a peculiar scene during the carnival was the long queue of Muslim guys waiting for their turn to carry out the Ablution or wudu', this was due to the fact that the wudu' area is just beside the praying tents, furthermore the Maghrib prayers was approaching. It was an amazing sight, long queues and there were more Muslimin and Muslimat praying in an open area, spreaded their mats and proceeded with their prayers...it was filled with serenity...
In the tents where the food sellers were located, people flocked there with excitement, i could understand the reasons why people were looking so hungry and their high level of interest in the simple food being sold, perhaps it was due to the flow of energy, enthusiasm and also anticipation while waiting for the concert to commence... I was hungry actually, then ive decided to just buy myself 2 pieces of currypuffs although the Sup Tulang and Lamb kebab did look amazingly delicious....
As I was standing beside the stage where the backdrop was a picture of Maher Zain holding a microphone, ive decided to snap a photo, however snapping my own photo would have made me look funny, so ive asked one of the two guys who were standing nearby. One of the most remembered moments prior to the concert was when those two guys were looking excruciatingly reluctant, (looking almost like they were ready to run away) in accepting my request and that was to snap a few pictures of myself standing on the stage with Maher Zain's backdrop. Finally, one of them who was gentleman enough agreed to snap few pictures as i handed my camera to him. I thanked the gentleman and ask him and his friend were they also waiting for their turns to carry out the ablution? They replied that they already carried out their ablution, then it struck me where ive got my answer pertaining to their peculiar behaviours, i was thinking it was just a simple request and dont tell me that it would create a big scene...finally, that hesitant look was due to fact that they were in a state of ablution....ooooh i seeeee....
8.15pm, entered the stadium and immediately looked for my seat...Thank Allah for giving me a seat which was facing the centre of the stage. While waiting for the stadium to be filled with people, i prayed that hopefully the person who is going to sit in the front seat is not a big sized person, guess what? yup, it was a big tree who sat in front of me...cry cry cry...moral of the story...you attract what you think....huhuuhuhu.....but a miracle happened, 20 mins later, the lady beside me got up and sat next to her friend which was 5 seats away.... how lucky i was...so i got up and moved to the next seat and i had the best view....Thank you Allah...
With all of the sing along, tried to control myself of not to move too much or sing too loud, the concert was a blast....breathtaking performances, Maher Zain was mesmerizing, another singer known as Mesut Curtis with his lovely voice projection and melodious songs, happiness filled the air as the Praises and Thanks to the Lord of the Heavens and Earth lingered for approximately 3 hours......
The experience as a whole...it can be summarised as superb and amazing!
Thank you Allah for the opportunity!

bagaimana nak berhenti merungut?
wahai sahabat2ku,
seringkali aku bertanya kenapa kita sentiasa merungut dengan apa sahaja? itu tak kena, ini tak kena, macam2 tak kena...itu tak cukup...ini tak cukup...macam2 tak cukup?
mari kita tengok apa yang kita ada ataupun miliki sebelum kita bercerita lebih lanjut:-
1. duit= ada, walaupun tak banyak, tapi cukup2 untuk bayar hutang;
2. kereta = satu jek, kadang2 ada 2 atau 3
3. handphone= 2-3, bergantung kepada misi penggunaan..heeheh
4. card credit= 2-3, bergantung, kadang2 dapat free jek...
5. kelengkapan rumah= lengkap, kadang2 ada 2-3 televisyen..
6. kasut= minimum 5, kadang2 boleh mencapai 30 pasang..
7. baju= tak terkira, tak ingat bila beli dan bila kali terakhir pakai....huhuhu
8. keluarga= sudah tentu keluarga penyayang
9. pendidikan= bagus2 belaka
10. komputer= laptop ada, desktop ada, i tab pun ada...ada hati nak beli baru pulak tu..
dapat dilihat dengan segala macam yang kita ada dan miliki, pernah tak kita terfikir kenapa kita masih lagi merungut macam2?
jawapan senang jek....kita lupa untuk bersyukur pada Pencipta kita hari-hari....hanya bila ditimpa kesedihan dan kesulitan, baru kita berdoa dan bersyukur padaNya...bukankah itu perangai kita?
macammana nak selesaikan masalah ni = berhenti merungut!
macammana nak mulakan?
1. Mula bersyukur hari hari...sentiasa ingat yang apa kita ada adalah dengan izin ALLAH, berterima kasih padaNya atas segala kenikmatan dan kesenangan yang di limpahiNya...
2. Mula listkan apa yang kita ada...bukan apa yang kita takde...manusia sentiasa melihat kepada apa yang mereka tidak atau belum miliki...sekarang adalah masanya untuk bergumbira dengan apa yang ada..
3. cari kenalan2 baru, bertukar idea dan fikiran...rapatkan ukhwah sesama muslim as we are Brothers and Sisters in Islam and among non-Muslims, we are Brothers and Sisters in Humanity...
4. Be proactive bukan reactive...sebelum teringat nak merungut lagi, cepat2 mulakan langkah untuk bertindak secara positif dan bukannya membalas secara negatif...
sekarang kita dah tau jawapan kenapa manusia suka merungut dan kita dah tau apa nak buat...kesimpulannya yang paling penting...kita harus sentiasa bersyukur pada ALLAH kerana diberi kesempatan bernafas, berdegup jantung, sihat fizikal, mental dan emosi dan yang paling penting kita diberi kesempatan untuk menikmati kehidupan dengan di sokong oleh kasih sayang ALLAH....
Praise the Lord of the Heavens and Earth...
seringkali aku bertanya kenapa kita sentiasa merungut dengan apa sahaja? itu tak kena, ini tak kena, macam2 tak kena...itu tak cukup...ini tak cukup...macam2 tak cukup?
mari kita tengok apa yang kita ada ataupun miliki sebelum kita bercerita lebih lanjut:-
1. duit= ada, walaupun tak banyak, tapi cukup2 untuk bayar hutang;
2. kereta = satu jek, kadang2 ada 2 atau 3
3. handphone= 2-3, bergantung kepada misi penggunaan..heeheh
4. card credit= 2-3, bergantung, kadang2 dapat free jek...
5. kelengkapan rumah= lengkap, kadang2 ada 2-3 televisyen..
6. kasut= minimum 5, kadang2 boleh mencapai 30 pasang..
7. baju= tak terkira, tak ingat bila beli dan bila kali terakhir pakai....huhuhu
8. keluarga= sudah tentu keluarga penyayang
9. pendidikan= bagus2 belaka
10. komputer= laptop ada, desktop ada, i tab pun ada...ada hati nak beli baru pulak tu..
dapat dilihat dengan segala macam yang kita ada dan miliki, pernah tak kita terfikir kenapa kita masih lagi merungut macam2?
jawapan senang jek....kita lupa untuk bersyukur pada Pencipta kita hari-hari....hanya bila ditimpa kesedihan dan kesulitan, baru kita berdoa dan bersyukur padaNya...bukankah itu perangai kita?
macammana nak selesaikan masalah ni = berhenti merungut!
macammana nak mulakan?
1. Mula bersyukur hari hari...sentiasa ingat yang apa kita ada adalah dengan izin ALLAH, berterima kasih padaNya atas segala kenikmatan dan kesenangan yang di limpahiNya...
2. Mula listkan apa yang kita ada...bukan apa yang kita takde...manusia sentiasa melihat kepada apa yang mereka tidak atau belum miliki...sekarang adalah masanya untuk bergumbira dengan apa yang ada..
3. cari kenalan2 baru, bertukar idea dan fikiran...rapatkan ukhwah sesama muslim as we are Brothers and Sisters in Islam and among non-Muslims, we are Brothers and Sisters in Humanity...
4. Be proactive bukan reactive...sebelum teringat nak merungut lagi, cepat2 mulakan langkah untuk bertindak secara positif dan bukannya membalas secara negatif...

act right now
People say that it's always hard to change
they'd rather drown in misery and cry in pain
coz you know that you will never get what you want
if you always turn around and run..
chorus
if you want to change your future
you better act right now
never look back...
coz it's just human nature
in any cold hot weather
we rather be off track...
(still working on the lyrics...hhuuuhu)

what should we do in panic and dispair?
In a state of depression a believer, is advised to do the following:-
1. Increase remembrance of God (dhikr) :He guides to Himself those who turn to Him in penitence those who have believed and whose heart have rest in the remembrance of God. Verily in the remembrance of God, do hearts find rest (13:27-28)
2. Be constant in prayers: "O you who believe, seek help with steadfastness and prayer. For God is with those who are steadfast" (2:153)
3. Pray to God for Forgiveness: "And I have said: Seek forgiveness from your Lord. Lo He was ever forgiving" (71:10). In addition to the above "Surely God does not change the condition in which people are until they change that which is in themselves" (13:11)

Prophet Muhammad's prayers during stress
All the prophets, being human beings, had to undergo tests and trials which resulted in temporary stress. They constantly remembered God and received peace through His remembrance. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) for example, himself used and advised his followers to use the following prayerss in time of distress.
"God is sufficient for us. He is an excellent guardian. We repose our trust in God".
"Surely we belong to God and to Him shall we return. O God, I beseech you for the reward of my hardship. Reward me and compensate me for it with something good".

pakai helmet tanpa menunggang motosikal..
ramai wanita zaman sekarang suka memakai helmet atau pun dalam bahasa formalnya topi keledar walaupun tak menunggang motosikal (tak pasti dari mana datangnya perkataan topi tapi yang pasti bukan perkataan bahasa melayu..hhehehe)..
memakai helmet disini merujuk kepada trend bertudung yang hanya menutup kepala tanpa menutup leher dan kawasan yang berdekatan dengannya...terdetik juga untuk memakai helmet tapi apabila terbayangkan diri kelihatan agak macam hilang skru di kepala...maka tak jadilah pula...hehehe
ramai wanita malaysia yang bangga memakai helmet tanpa menunggang motosikal atau basikal...contohnya artis2 yang tak tau apa bidang seni mereka...trend pemakaian tudung sebegini juga merujuk kepada salah satu peribahasa melayu yang saya anggap hebat...hidup segan, mati tak mau...
disini jika kita nak relatekan dengan pemakaian tudung atau berhijab ialah....pakai segan, buka tak mau...
moral of the story is jangan tutup separuh jalan...tutup dengan lengkap...nasihat ini di tujukan khas untuk anda dan diri saya......

apa ada pada nama?
pegawai polis : itu ayah ke?
rosita : ye, ayah saya, kenapa encik?
pegawai polis : kenapa dia tak tukar nama dia? kenapa masih Michael?
rosita : nama tidak menentukan keimanan, encik.
i can still vividly remember this conversation though it took place approximately 9 years ago. i was accompanying my late father to lodge a report on an accident which took place in our own house. my late father due to his sickness, couldnt differentiate between the accelerator and brakes and he stepped on the accelerator while he was driving our kenari onto the car porch area.
my point is...just because my late father's name is Michael does not make him a less Muslim. He was the greatest father and my bestest (if there is such a word) friend...the most generous......gentle..funny..loving...adorable..understanding..honest person and the list goes on and on....
so, the problem here is about the cruel and harsh perception of ignorant people...the norm would be if your name is not an Arab name, then you are considered second class Muslim...wait wait...second class? who came out with that class? just because i'm Rosita Michael, not Rosita Ahmad, or Rosita Ali or Rosita Seman or Rosita Samsudin...that makes me a less committed Muslim? what about Khalid Al-Walid? before and after Islam, he didnt change his name and he was a warrior of Islam....think about that...
i've read somewhere that to judge a man, listen to his questions not his answers...the person who asked me (refer to the above conversation) why my late father's name is still Michael...the question reflected his personality and his level of thinking....let's pray that the person is not that ignorant anymore...
the most astonishing conversation i had was with a pakcik....we were having the following conversation:-
pakcik: ayah kamu tak join ke perbincangan hari ni?
me: ayah saya baru saje meninggal dua minggu lepas...
pakcik: innalillah...takziah pada kamu sekeluarga..
me: terima kasih pakcik..
pakcik: kenapa nama ayah kamu Michael?
me: memang itu nama dia...
here comes the best question ever....(he could win an award for best question of the century)
pakcik: masa dia meninggal, dia mengucap tak?
me: .........zzzzzzzzz......kuci kuci yaayayay....wkakaka...natahahpahapantah...
imagine how i felf??????
i felt numb....not only he has insulted my late father ...also because of the super intelligent question from his super intelligent self proclaimed religious mind....
my point is... who is dat pakcik who had the guts to come up with that question? from my observation this shows how ignorant people who think that their level of understanding and practice of Islam is better than others (ujub dan takbur) allows them to do so....what a pity....
this story of mine coincides with some of the writings of a Muslim writer known as Sheikh Muhammad Al-Gazali, he wrote:-
-Religion, only fully benefit those who are capable of understanding them in their pure (original form);
- Good perception of religious facts as they were revealed, has to be coupled with the sincerity in implementing them;
- Those so called scholars, may try to show us the way to the truth, but not able to take us to it....(the pakcik represents one of these people)
i want to remind myself and my dear friends, students, readers that Islam is about submitting ourselves to ALLAH...please do ourselves a favour for the sake of Islam...and that is to accept the fact that the difference in the names and races is the beauty of Islam.......therefore, apa ada pada nama?

mengapa hati ini sentiasa merindui...
Dah lama tak menulis....baru sekarang terpanggil...
sebagai manusia, kita sentiasa merindui orang2 yang lama kita tidak berjumpa....orang yang telah tiada didalam hidup kita...orang yang pernah menjadi teman baik kita...orang yang pernah menemani kita...orang yang pernah sentiasa menghulurkan bantuan semasa kita susah....orang yang selalu memberikan kata2 semangat pada kita....
jika kita hendak mengupas tentang rindu...tak cukup muka surat dibuatnya....
yang pertama rindu pada cinta ALLAH, setiap masa....degupan jantung yang ALLAH kurniakan adalah untuk merinduiNYA....
merindui cinta kasih Rasullullah s.a.w...betapa beliau mencintai umatnya.....
merindui cinta kasih, gelak tawa, gurau senda, senyuman, dan nasihat arwah Papa....rindu yang tak pernah bertepi...rindu yang sentiasa menyusup kalbu....tatlaka teringat arwah Papa...hanya doa menjadi peneman setia....air mata mengalir kalau di takung boleh penuh satu kolam....
tapi rindu itu dapat dibendung hanya dengan sentiasa redha dan menerima ketentuan Ilahi.....aku kagum pada kekuasaan ALLAH, betapa Dia merancang segala2nya....segala2nya tampak cantik ditempatnya...
rindu membuat aku sebak...seronok...teruja...sedih...bangga...suka....perasaan bercampur baur....
merindui semasa zaman remaja...begitu indah....syukur aku melalui zaman remaja yang bersih dan gembira, tapi ada juga saat2 yang sedih dan pilu.......tapi itu menjadikan aku manusia yang sangat bersyukur...dan lebih kuat....
merindui kawan2 sekuliah...yang bersama2 berhempas pulas menyiapkan tugasan...tak kira siang malam......merindui saat gelisah, gundah gulana menunggu keputusan peperiksaan....
merindui pelajar2 yang pernah aku ajar....karenah, tawa dan gurau senda.....pengetahuan mereka...membuatkan aku seorang manusia yang bersyukur kerana diberi peluang untuk belajar dari ratusan pelajar2 ku...mereka ingat mereka belajar dariku...tapi aku yang paling banyak belajar dari mereka...ironi...
kesimpulannya....kita akan sentiasa merindui kerana merindui juga bermaksud mengingati dan mensyukuri....Subhanallah....

Kisah pokok mangga gemuk berbajakan kotoran...
cuba kita bayangkan....sedang kita berjalan2 kita terlihat sebuah pokok mangga yang dari jauh buahnya melayut-layut, magga yang gemuk2 saiznya dan kekuningan warnanya....wahhh kita tentunya terpikat untuk menghampiri kerana ingin melihat dengan lebih dekat lagi.....
setelah mendekati kita dapati pokok tersebut terletak berdekatan dengan sebuah longkang yang mana airnya berwarna hitam dan berbau busuk...rupanya air itu datangnya dari pembentungan yang tidak sempurna yang mana airnya mengalir dengan laju.....
rupanya pokok mangga yang kita lihat mangganya kekuningan dan kegemukan tadi mendapat khasiat dan vitamin dari bahan2 kotor......tetapi yang peliknya pokok itu semakin menjadi2 buah magganya, semakin kotor airnya, semakin gemuk mangganya....
cuba kita kaitkan dengan kehidupan manusia dengan kisah pokok mangga gemuk tadi...
pernah tak kita tertanya2 kenapa orang yang tidak mengikut hukum2 ALLAH menjadi semakin kaya dan kaya, semakin rakus dan alpa, semakin jahat dan selalu menganiaya? kita tertanya2 kenapa semakin seseorang itu jauh dari ALLAH, semakin banyak kekayaan dan kenikmatan dunia dia dapat?
jawapanya sama dengan kisah si pokok mangga gemuk tadi......memang seseorang itu menjadi semakin kaya dan kaya walaupun melupakan ALLAH, kerana sangat mudah untuk ALLAH memberikan kekayaan kepadanya mana2 hambaNYA, tapi kita harus ingat sumber pokok mangga gemuk itu didapati dari air kotor...begitulah diibaratkan orang yang melakukan kemungkaran tetapi terus terusan mendapat nikmat adalah seperti pokok mangga gemuk yang mendapat air atau baja dari bahan2 kotor...memang sentiasa gemuk dan banyak mangganya...tapi tetap dari sumber kotor...
oleh itu, takpelah kalau pokok mangga itu tak gemuk tapi buahnya sederhana sahaja, tetapi ianya mendapat air yang bersih ataupun di bajakan dengan kasih sayang oleh tuannya...
the moral of the story.....kita fikirlah sendiri...hehehehehe...alkisah untuk hari ini...

how to make a thinker to talk and a talker to think?
so which category are u? a talker or a thinker?
there is no specific nor universal definition on those two, thinker and talker. however, let us presume that a thinker is someone who thinks before he or she talks, a thinker thinks and explores an issue or a matter deeper, in short he or she plans what to say, how to say it and when to say it.
whereas a talker talks...explores an issue or a matter while talking about it, gets idea and concept while talking and do more talking. im not judging saying that a thinker is better and a talker is not, but what im saying is that being just a thinker or a talker does not expand one's horizons or experience, being both is the best....but how do we make a thinker to talk and a talker to think?
it is important to make a talker to think and a thinker to talk as we are dealing with all types of persona in workplace, education institutions, our colleagues, our friends and etc....therefore it is important especially to leaders and educators in knowing how to crack those who have good ideas or judgements but choose to keep it inside their heads and keep those who talk too much to shut up and think about certain matters and think about it and come up with the necessary answers or ideas......confused?
i'm sure that we are facing problems with those who seem to know everything about the world by talking too much and at the same time refuse to listen, and also those who are actually knowledgable but prefer to stay silent...so the followings are some of the possible ways in making a thinker to talk and a talker to think:-
1. Sing a song to a thinker.....motivate them to sing, then they will sing along and just ask them what they think about certain issues or matter....' im sure you have a good idea and im sure that it will be a success once we implement your idea...' (^^;)
2. when a talker couldnt stop talking on certain matter, surprise them with a shocking expression or a statement....for example ask them to 'hush!.....they will immediately stop talking and then you can ask them...'so what do you think the right way to solve this problem other than you blabbering about the world?
so, you probably think that the abovementioned ideas are too crazy and inappropriate...however, give it a try sometime and you'll know what im talking about...heheheheeh...
personally i prefer to be a thinking talker....a talker who thinks...then i get the best of both worlds...a thinker who talks and a talker who thinks...so what say you?

aku tak pernah jeles..tapi kena paksa jeles
apa perasaan kita bila sebenarnya kita tak jeles, tapi kawan kita kata kita jeleskan dia bila dia dengan kawan perempuan lain?
apa maknanya tu? aku melalui satu pengalaman yang sangat pelik. Aku mempunyai ramai kawan lelaki yang baik baik dari segi tingkah laku, tutur bicara dan personality. Tapi aku juga mempunyai seorang kawan yang mana telah aku putuskan persahabatan dengannya...sebabnya biarlah rahsia...
apabila berbicara, memberi pendapat, menyokong penyataan seseorang kawan itu, aku sangat berkobar kobar dan bersungguh2, sehinggakan disalah erti sebagai jeles oleh seorang kawan aku yang pelik ni...
Dia berkali-kali dan berkobar-kobar menekankan yang aku cemburu terhadap kawan2 perempuannya...aku hanya boleh ketawa terbahak-bahak dalam hati...dan aku juga telah berkali kali menekankan yang aku tak pernah jeles, takkan aku nak jeles kat kawan aku sendiri? aku selalu berkata pada dia...kalau i jeles tak kemana pun, dia kata 'memang u jeles', 'kalau jeles mengakulah..'....
aku rasa macam nak menangis bila orang paksa aku kata aku jeles sedangkan aku tak jeles...waaaaaawaaaa...
pasal jeles tu aku tak kisah lagi, tapi aku kena paksa cakap kat kawan aku kalau aku suka dia....adoiiiiii.....kita tak boleh memaksa orang suka kita kan? tapi kalau kawan kita nak tahu jugak samada kita suka dia ke tak? aku pun dah pening.........lama2 aku tak nak kawan lagi dengan kawan aku yang pelik tu.......aku undur diri....aku cari kawan lain lah .....

senyuman saya tak berapa manis...
alkisah aku pergi ke kedai ingin membeli kasut idaman, kasut idaman dijual di kedai Bata...bukan vincci, taichi, kuaci, ataupun nichi.... dan jangan salah sangka Bata asalnya bukan dari Meru Klang, tapi Republik Chech...
setelah puas membelek kasut idaman selama 5 minit....aku memanggil promoter kedai tersebut...sambil tersenyum 45 sen, dia mengambil kasut bersaiz 6 1/2, aku pun dengan gumbiranya membawa kasut tersebut sambil menuju ke kaunter pembayaran....tapi aku disambut dengan muka Cashier yang juga aku rasa merupakan owner branch Bata tersebut seiras muka Arnold tak reti nak eja dikala bertarung aksi ngeri...
maka dengan selambanya aku memberikan cadangan....
'apsal muka masam jek? apa kata senyumlah sikit'...
tiba2 dia menjawab jawapan yang membuatkan aku tak terkejut langsung......
' senyuman saya tak berapa manis'
aku menjawab ' tak salah kalau senyum, tak manis takpe asalkan senyum'...
dengan selamba dia tetap dengan muka selenga dia....
nak aku sambung perbualan tersebut...akan menampakkan yang aku tak faham bahasa malaysia...maklumlah konon2 bahasa malaysia perkataannya panjang2, maka nak di pendekkan aku bertuturlah bahasa Omputih...
oleh itu...kesimpulan cerita aku ni sebenarnya hendak memberitahu tentang tingkah laku dan cara berkomunikasi oran2 yang bekerja di kedai2, tak kisah kedai kasut ke, kedai baju ke, apa kedai sekalipun...mereka melayan pelanggan seperti 'kalau nak beli, beli jelah, tak yang nak pegang2, belek2, tanya2, senyum2, manja2...'...paling best semua pelanggan di anggap sebagai berpotensi untuk mencuri...tu pasal kita tengok barang...diorang tengok tangan kita...hehehehehehe
tapi prinsip aku senang jek...aku hanya akan kembali ke kedai atau membeli barangan di kedai yang mana jurujualnya pandai berkomunikasi dan mengambil hati....
apakah perbezaan2 yang paling utama antara kedai2 yang menjual barangan yang sama?
1. Senyuman yang ikhlas;
2. Komunikasi yang pandai memikat hati pelanggan..
kalau sesiapa antara kamu berjumpa dengan orang yang kata 'senyuman saya tak berapa manis' maka jawablah dengan jawapan berikut...
' senyuman tak manis...tukar lah muka'- (jawapan kurang sopan)
'senyuman tak manis...tambah gula'- ( jawapan sopan lagi santun)

setelah puas membelek kasut idaman selama 5 minit....aku memanggil promoter kedai tersebut...sambil tersenyum 45 sen, dia mengambil kasut bersaiz 6 1/2, aku pun dengan gumbiranya membawa kasut tersebut sambil menuju ke kaunter pembayaran....tapi aku disambut dengan muka Cashier yang juga aku rasa merupakan owner branch Bata tersebut seiras muka Arnold tak reti nak eja dikala bertarung aksi ngeri...
maka dengan selambanya aku memberikan cadangan....
'apsal muka masam jek? apa kata senyumlah sikit'...
tiba2 dia menjawab jawapan yang membuatkan aku tak terkejut langsung......
' senyuman saya tak berapa manis'
aku menjawab ' tak salah kalau senyum, tak manis takpe asalkan senyum'...
dengan selamba dia tetap dengan muka selenga dia....
nak aku sambung perbualan tersebut...akan menampakkan yang aku tak faham bahasa malaysia...maklumlah konon2 bahasa malaysia perkataannya panjang2, maka nak di pendekkan aku bertuturlah bahasa Omputih...
oleh itu...kesimpulan cerita aku ni sebenarnya hendak memberitahu tentang tingkah laku dan cara berkomunikasi oran2 yang bekerja di kedai2, tak kisah kedai kasut ke, kedai baju ke, apa kedai sekalipun...mereka melayan pelanggan seperti 'kalau nak beli, beli jelah, tak yang nak pegang2, belek2, tanya2, senyum2, manja2...'...paling best semua pelanggan di anggap sebagai berpotensi untuk mencuri...tu pasal kita tengok barang...diorang tengok tangan kita...hehehehehehe
tapi prinsip aku senang jek...aku hanya akan kembali ke kedai atau membeli barangan di kedai yang mana jurujualnya pandai berkomunikasi dan mengambil hati....
apakah perbezaan2 yang paling utama antara kedai2 yang menjual barangan yang sama?
1. Senyuman yang ikhlas;

never say never....
have you ever wonder why you seem to attract what you do not want? why we keep on getting what we do not want...what we hate..what we despise.....
let's look at the most common sentences that we have said before :-
- I will never like that kind of guy..
- I will never buy those kind of clothes..
- I will never fall for her/him...
-I will never marry someone who smokes..
-I will never go there..
- Never in a million years, I will love someone like you..
- I will never buy those pair of ugly shoes..
- I will never be late..
- I will never change my work place, my way of living for someone like you...
so, what do you see? can u identify the common word here? yes it is NEVER....
but what happens if you take away the word NEVER...this means that every sentence is actually a positive sentence which wanting to do all those things...
the problem is that ...the brain does not understand the word NEVER...it captures, stores and visualises the subject of the sentence...for example...
- Never in a million years, I will love someone like you = In a million years, I will love someone like you.
- I will never be late = I will be late
- I will never change my workplace, my way of living for someone like you = I will change my workplace and my way of living for someone like you..
so, what should we do now if we do not want to attract the things that we do not want?
ANSWER:
Focus on what you want!!!!
keep on mentioning what you want, so the brain captures, stores, visualises and generates ideas for us to take action...then InsyALLAH we will get what we want...
example:
I will not/never be late = I will be on time
I will never fall for someone like him = I will fall for someone with the characteristics that I want/need
I will never marry someone who smokes = I will marry someone who embraces healty lifestyle..
I will never fall for him/her = I will fall for someone who loves me and understands me for who I am...
the point is....Identify what we want...FOCUS on what we want...Generate alternatives on how to get what we want...Evaluate the alternatives...make decision and take action...
the most important thing is that do not immediately say NEVER.......what say you?
