from A Great Person TO the COmmunity

As usual, I saw your students moving around promoting food kept in polystyrene containers. I could not control my tears in my heart. The students are very innocent; without knowing much about the harm behind their smiles on their faces. Are we really educating? Do we truly love the people and especially our future generations? Or do we just want to hit and run in a life's time without caring what would happen to our future generations. I am writing all this with my heart squatting down. I hope you could understand my feeling, which actually gives me the strength to cycle to and from work over some 30 km per day.

Should the H&T be willing to opt for the best for the society, I am willing to buy up all the existing stock of polystyrene containers to be sent out for recycling. My pain is no less than the tears you had during the touching movies. Please give some thought and consideration over the matter before I proceed to the top management.

Thank you for everything.

The above message was sent to me thru email by one of my colleague from another department.

As we can observe, he is a great man.It has never crossed my mind a single bit that i could one day come across such a person which i think only comes around in novels and story books and fairy tales.

MAybe the HEAVEN ABOVE heard my call and sent such a person straight to me. but if we realise, this great man actually also has lots and lots of humour in him.

Please do observe those phrase's highlighted. If we do really understand, it is plucked from chinese proverbs or should i call it synonyms.It really struck me and at the same time made me laugh while deep down inside i actually understand the importance of caring for the enviroment. And therefore i feel the urge to share this with everyone.

Decisions

In life we are educated on how to be good and how to strive and most important is we are educated on how to make MONEY.!!!!!!!

It comes to a point where we are actually not taught on how to make decisions. Everytime we ask our parents on how to make decisions, the answers we get are actually the decisions itself and we do not learn how to make them but we just follow them and the next time we want to make a decision we shall only follow the guidelines or the examples on what we have been thru or have done rather than know the actual position or steps of making a decision.

It has actually come to a point in my life now that i have to make a very hard decision( TO ME)
When we graduate, we can actually see prospects in front of us but we do not go for it or rather should i say, we dare not grab the opportunity for we do not understand and we do not know how.

As we grow in the community, it is instilled in us already that we should be careful on what we do and that brings us to the problem that before we do anything, we must think and think and think. Its the thinking part that causes the opportunities to sink and when we are ready, the opportunity has already cease.

So i have actually come up with few simple guidelines on decision making in LIFE!!!!

1. Consider your desire.
2. Consider your assets.(qualification/ look in the mirror)
3. Consider your ability.( a pig will always be a pig and a monkey will always be a monkey)
4. Consider your responsibilities.( parents, friends/things that are partially important)
5. Consider the prospect of your doings.
6. Consider the effects os your decision.(will it cause death and poverty)
7. If all the above is taken into consideration and it still looks positive then just GO FOR IT!

THESE ARE THE FEW POINTS THAT I HAVE DISCOVERED ALONG THE WAY OF DECISION MAKING AND WHICH I PERSONALLY DISCOVERED RECENTLY WHEN I NEED TO MAKE SOME DECISIONS.

BUT STILL THE ULTIMATE QUESTION

SHOULD I GO FOR IT????????

KEBOSANAN

Buat pertama kali setalah sekian lama ku membuka akaun baru di blogspot ini, tak pernah ku cuba menulis dalam bahasa melayu lagi.. Sebagai masyarakat yang memang muhibbah sekali di negara ku yang yang terletak di tengah tengah garisan equator muka bumi sepatutnya ku memang berterima kasih kepada segala yang ku perolehi.

Hari ini merupakan hari yang memang bosan sekali, dan disebabkan kebosanan yang tidak terhingga ini maka muncullah karya terbaru saya ini untuk mengubati kebosanan ku sepanjang hari ini.

Perkongsian kebosanan sebenarnya merupakan sejenis penyakit yang berjangkit dengan cepat. Perumpamaannya, sekiranya kita beradqa di dalam sebuah bilik darjah dan seorang guru sedang bercakap dan pada masa yang sama kawan sebelah kita sedang menguap. KIta juga akan turut meguap sekali dan di sinilah, kebosanan bermula dan sememangnya berjangkit dengan hanya melihat sahaja..

Penyakit yang memang menggerunkan, yang sebenarnya ku sedang menguap dengan hanya menulis perkataan menguap ini.

Sesudahnya dengan kebosanan, biar saya berkongsi cara saya menghilangkan kebosanan yang sememangya berkesan dengan serta merta.

1. mula kan dengan meninggalkan tempat duduk anda.
2. hulurkan tangan anda kedalam poket.
3. cuba cari duit 10 ringgit
4. pergi ke kedai runcit yang terdekat
5. beli sebotol air berkarbonat
6. balik ke tempat duduk yang sepatutnya dan nikmatilah kesegaran air berkarbonat yang sememangya mencergaskan minda anda untuk sebab yang paling bagus iaitu untuk............. TIDUR..

Tidur petang adalah ubat yang memang mujarab sekali untuk mengubati kebosanan..

Bertuah ku hari ini kerana dapat berkongsi kebosanan ku dengan kalian di seluruh blogspot ini

MYsterious "MR.E"

To think of it, i have this story kept inside me for a while now.. it is really unbearable and i have decided to share it with as many people as possible for it will carve a laughter on your faces for sure.. or at least to MOST!!!!!

This is a real story that happened to me many many years back now... But the thing is i remember it like it only happened yesterday and the worst thing is that it haunts me till this very day..

I still remember the very date this event happened.. it involves me myself and another character whom shall only be named.."Mr.E"..

This all started with a outing with my school mates during christmas. Me and my school mates went for dinner at a restaurant somewhere in Bayan Lepas. We were having the time of our lives chatting while having a sumptious meal. To recall this, i just moved from Penang to butterworth for a bout a month.. i had some problems back then, One of it involves transportation.

Fortunately, on this very faithful night everything seems to be perfect for my friend offered me a ride home for he too lived in Butterworth and i was so joyous and it is a real UNFORGETABLE occasion.

The real story starts with the journey home, The dinner ended at approximately 11 pm. Journey home was fast but it was already late so my friend decided that i could sleep at his house for the night and that he promised to send me home the very first thing in the morning. So what else could i say for it was really getting late and he is really tired or more accurately..EXHAUSTED....

Without wasting much time i took a shower and hopped into bed.. there was only one queensize bed left so i had to share his bed..( so i thought WTH.. what could happen between two decent man) hmmm.... without further adue, i dozed off after a long day..

It was really night a remember i told myself before falling asleep..( I SPOKE TOO SOON)
It was during the middle of the night that i suddenly realise a small motion/ movement on the bed.

The next thing i know was that i felt some motion on my skin surface of my hands.. i didnt bother much for i thought it was just a mere MOSQUITO and i just tried to get back to sleep.
It did not take long for the MOSQUITO to become even more powerful and vigourous this time.. (OMG... IS IT A GHOST??? CHRISTMAS GHOST???) I dare not even peek.. i was worried that it would bring me to the other realm and consume me..

Besides the motion i could hear some soft voice which is progressing with beautiful words...
SO i thought.. if this is a ghost then it must be a good one.. I GATHERED ALL MY FAITH AND STRENGTH AND OPENED THE BLANKET OFF MY FACE JUST TO FIND..........

MY FRIEND HOLDING MY HAND WHILE SAYING ROMANTIC PHRASES LIKE I WAS HIS GIRLFRIEND( i know u were having ur first love... u shouldnt let it out on me) I WAS SO DAMN SHOCKED SO I TRIED TO WAKE HIM UP BUT HE PULLED MY HAND EVEN HARDER AND WHEN I TRIED TO TAKE MY HAND AWAY HE HELD ON TO IT EVEN HARDER AND SPEAKING MORE PROFUSELY AND MORE FLUENTLY AND THE WORDS AND PHRASES USED SEEMED LIKE IT CAME OUT OF A DRAMA SERIES..

(All the way i prayed to god "PLEASE LET ME OUT OF THIS TORMENT , I CANT BEAR THIS ANYMORE... WTH IS THIS FRIEND OF MINE DOING WITH MY HAND..) i was closing my face with the blanket while i was whispering those words..

At least god heard my prayers and let me fall back asleep but unfortunately, god did not hear my prayers that i wanna forget what happened after i wake up in the morning.... I remembered every single moment of that scary night with every detail running without any missplacement... It spooks me up to this very day... so i decided to share my valueble experience with all the readers..

REMEMBER.... "DO NOT SIMPLY HITCH RIDE, THINK of the CONSEQUENCES"
