3 Mac tarikh bersejarah

Tanggal 3 Mac 08 satu tarikh yang amat bahagia dalam hidup aku sebab apa tau? Sebab pembangkang berjaya menawan 5 negeri hakikatnya 6 termasuk Wilayah Persekutuan. Aku mengundi di kawasan Gombak , ADUNnya Dr. Hassan Ali Parlimennya Azmin Ali. Datang pukul 4:45 ptg dengan memakai baju warna kuning lambang BERSIH utk hari Sabtu sambil memberikan IC lama pada petugas SPR dengan beralamat tertera di situ Teluk Intan, Perak aku terus masuk ke dalam dan memangkah kedua2 nama tersebut. Aku terlupa nak tengok siapa calon BN. Aku tunggu juga kalau SPR nak tanya aku ni pengundi hantu ke tapi tak ditanya. Aku tunggu juga dia tanya kenapa tak tukar IC baru tapi tak juga ditanya. Kalau dia tanya memang dia kena sembur. Aku takkan tukar selagi tak diwajibkan tukar dan aku hendak menjadi rakyat Malaysia yang terakhir menukar IC. Ada peluang masuk Guiness record ape..!

Pukul 7:00pm terus dapat berita pertama dari kawan katanya kawasan Gombak BA dah tawan. Aku terkejut menepuk2 tangan sampai senyum naik ke telinga. Masa tu aku kat office dengan kengkawan semuanya bersorak. 15 minit selepas itu dapat berita dari kawasan Titiwangsa Dr. Lo'lo menang bergema lagi office aku. Masing2 mencari pembekal maklumat terkini yang bestnya orang2 teknikal office aku standby kat pusat SPR. Tak payah tunggu TV yg slow tu. Di tambah lagi maklumat terkini dari Malysiakini website. Berlumba2 kami memberi maklumat diikuti dengan berita jatuhnya Shahrizat, berita Kelantan ditawan 42/45. Tak putus2 hp berdering2 bertanyakan berita. Yang tak terkira seronoknya bila dapat tahu orang2 yang glamer kalah. Org SPR yang standby kat office aku pun bersorak gembira bila keluar nama2 BA.

Pukul 10pm Penang ditawan, seterusnya Kedah dan masa itu dijangkakan Terengganu dan Perlis akan ditawan tapi hampa. Terubat pula dengan berita mengejut Perak dan Selangor ditawan. Punyalah terlalu gembira sampai tak sedar aku duduk di office sampai 4 pagi. Balik rumah tunggu solat Subuh dan esoknya aku belanjeng semua kengkawan termasuklah yang tak layak jadi rakyat Msia (sebab tak ngundi). Dua minggu berturut-turut orang sekeliling cakap pasal politik. Yang tak reti politik pun terus minat politik yang tak mengundi pun menyibuk nak bercerita. Apa-apa pun undi bukan lagi rahsia....Adioss!!

TO ALL THE THOSE WHO WERE BORN IN THE 50's and 60's / early 70s

This articel was forwarded by someone. Read this makes me want to stay in kampung. Played masak2, kawin2..hik..hik.hik, played batu seremban, galah panjang, baling kasut, baling botol, kabedi...old days we called this game as tooootttttt, played polis sentri, played popia (attacked people with a tennis ball). Catched keli, puyu, belut in parit. We had no sungai in our area only a big parit. The fish we gave to our moms to cook and the belut we sell to chinese people. Weekly we do pot luck in pondok built by my friend's father. During my era the 'game n watch' was one of the choice but it was seasoning. Huaaaa... i missed all those kampung dayss.... adios!!!

"This relates to the scenario in Malaysia. For those who did not grow up here or born in 80's...maybe you are not able to understand. This is very true...


TO ALL THE THOSE WHO WERE BORN IN THE 50's and 60's / early 70s

First, we survived with mothers who had no maids. They cooked /cleaned while taking care of us at the same time. They took aspirin, candy floss, fizzy drinks, shaved ice with syrup and diabetes was rare.

Salt added to Pepsi or Coke was remedy for fever. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets.

As children, we would ride with our parents on bicycles/ motorcycles for 2 or 3. Richer ones in cars with no seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a private taxi was a special treat.

We drank water from the tap and NOT from a bottle. We would spend hours on the fields under bright sunlight flying our kites, without worrying about UV rays which never seem to affect us.

We go into the jungle to catch spiders without worries of Aedes mosquitoes. With mere 5 pebbles (stones) would be a endless game. With a ball (tennis ball best) we boys would ran like crazy for hours. We caught guppy in drains / canals and when it rained we swam there.

We shared one soft drink with four friends from one bottle and NO ONE actually worry about being unhygienic. We ate salty, very sweet & oily food, candies, bread and real butter and drank very sweet soft drinks, sweet coffee/ tea, ice kachang (peanut), but we weren't overweight because......

WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, till streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K. We would spend hours repairing our old bicycles and wooden scooters out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, multiple channels on cable TV, DVD movies, no surround sound, no phones, no personal computers, no Internet. WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them! We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and we still continued the stunts. We never had birthday parties till we were 21.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and just yelled for them! The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law! Yet this generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!

The past 40 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL! And YOU are one of them!

CONGRATULATIONS!"

A Beautiful Prayer

I asked Allah to take away my habit.
Allah said, No.
It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.

I asked Allah to grant me patience.
Allah said, No.
Patience is a byproduct of tribulations;
it isn't granted, it is learned.

I asked Allah to make my handicapped child whole.
Allah said, No.
His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary

I asked Allah to give me happiness.
Allah said, No.
I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you.

I asked Allah to spare me pain.
Allah said, No.
Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares
and brings you closer to me.

I asked Allah to make my spirit grow.
Allah said, No.
You must grow on your own! ,
but I will prune you to make you fruitful.

I asked Allah for all things that I might enjoy life.
Allah said, No.
I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.

I ask Allah to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.
Allah said...Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.

THIS DAY IS YOURS DON'T THROW IT AWAY

May Allah Bless Us,
"To the world you might be one person, but to one
person you just might be the world"

The leader of Islamic Women's right dies

Al-Fatihah to this memorable muslimah of the decade. 20 years ago I bought a book about her life in prison during Presiden Gamal era makes my heart cried. Membaca kisah hidup dia dan para pejuang yang lain membuka hati2 yang sombong seperti aku termalu sendiri. Apa bekalan untuk aku bawa bila mati? Apa sumbangan aku pada agama? Apa bukti yang aku ini beriman? Untuk apa aku hidup? Hanya cari duit banyak2 untuk kesenangan diri sendiri dan duit itu hendak dibawa ke mana? Fikirkan semua ini mambawa aku kepada satu rumusan kita sebenarnya hidup hanyalah untuk menuju kematian dan untuk menuju kematian itu kita perlukan keyakinan dan jati diri yang tinggi serta tawakal yang jitu kepada Allah tidak kepada yang lain. Untuk menguji tahap mana keyakinan kita kepada Allah kita tanya satu soalan yang mudah sahaja pada diri kita. Setiap hari kita solat dan selepas solat kita selalu baca al-Fatihah dan ayat Kursi tetapi kenapa kita masih takut lagi dengan hantu setan???!! sedangkan kita tahu kepoweran ayat2 tersebut boleh menghancurkan semua makhluk halus. Ok cukup soklan tu.

Mengenali Zainab membawa kita mengenali Hassan al-Banna. Anda tahu siapa itu Hassan al-Banna??? dialah orang yang bertanggungjawab membawa revolusi baru umat islam di Mesir dan seluruh dunia dalam menuntut kemerdekaan termasuklah di Malaysia dan Indonesia. Rasulullah saw pernah bersabda : ‘Sesungguhnya ALLAH akan mengutus pada umat ini (umat Rasulullah) setiap awal 100 tahun seorang mujaddid yang membaharui urusan agamanya. ” Majoriti ulama sedunia telah mengangkat Hassan al-Banna sebagai mujaddid abad ke-21. Untuk pengetahuan, Dr. Fatima Zahra (yg selalu bagi ceramah dlm tv tu) adalah anak saudara Hassan al-Banna.....adiosss!!!
