Pick Of The week

Bacalah kisah di bawah. Sesungguhnya ada pengajaran yang boleh diambil dan diaplikasi dalam hidup kita. Mungkin bukan setakat pada orang yang disayangi tetapi juga rakan-rakan,teman-teman dan orang di sekeliling kita.

Seorang lelaki dan kekasihnya bernikah dan acara pernikahannya sungguh megah. Semua kawan-kawan dan keluarga mereka hadir menyaksikan dan menikmati hari yang berbahagia tersebut. Suatu acara yang luar biasa dan sungguh mengesankan. Mempelai wanita begitu cantik dan anggun dalam gaun putihnya dan pengantin lelaki dengan tuxedo hitam yang gagah. Setiap pasang mata yang memandang setuju mengatakan bahawa mereka sungguh-sungguh saling menyintai dan sepadan.
Beberapa bulan kemudian, si isteri berkata kepada suaminya: "Sayang, saya baru membaca sebuah artikel dalam majalah tentang bagaimana memperkuatkan hubungan dan tali pernikahan kita", katanya sambil menunjukkan majalah tersebut. "Masing-masing kita akan mencatatkan hal-hal yang kurang kita sukai dari pasangan kita. Kemudian, kita akan membahas bagaimana kita mengubah hal-hal tersebut dan membuatkan perkahwinan kita bersama lebih bahagia ...".
Suaminya setuju dan mereka mula memikirkan hal-hal dari pasangannya yang tidak mereka sukai dan berjanji tidak akan tersinggung ketika pasangannya mencatat hal-hal yang kurang baik kerana ia adalah untuk kebaikan mereka bersama. Malam itu mereka sepakat untuk berpisah tidur dan mencatat apa yang terlintas dalam benak mereka masing-masing.

Esok pagi ketika sarapan, mereka sedia membincangkannya. "Saya akan mulai dulu ya", kata isteri. Ia lalu mengeluarkan senarainya. Banyak sekali yang ditulisnya, sekitar 3 muka surat ... Ketika ia mulai membacakan satu persatu hal yang tidak dia sukai mengenai diri suaminya, ia memperhatikan bahawa airmata suaminya mulai mengalir ... "Maaf, apakah saya harus berhenti ?" tanyanya. "Oh tidak, teruskan ..." jawab suaminya. Lalu si isteri melanjutkan membacakan semua yang tersenarai, lalu kembali melipat kertasnya dengan manis di atas meja dan berkata dengan bahagia, "Sekarang giliran abang membacakan senaraimu". Dengan suara perlahan suaminya berkata, "Aku tidak mencatat sesuatupun di atas kertasku. Aku berfikir bahawa engkau sudah sempurna, dan aku tidak ingin mengubah akan dirimu. Engkau adalah dirimu sendiri. Engkau cantik dan baik bagiku. Tiada satupun daripada peribadimu yang kudapati kurang ..." Si isteri tersentak dan tersentuh hatinya oleh pernyataan dan ungkapan cinta serta isi hati suaminya ... bahawa suaminya menerimanya apa adanya. Ia menunduk dan menangis ...

Moral Cerita: Sebelum kita mencari kekurangan orang lain, carilah kekurangan sendiri. Adakah kita cukup SEMPURNA untuk dibandingkan dengan orang lain?.. Kalau jawapan nya YA, maka kita berbohong atau kita PERASAN. Kerana tiada manusia yang SEMPURNA dan sentiasa ade yang perlu diperbaiki... wallahualam
Hakikatnya orang-orang yang menyayangi diri kita tak kira siapa pun sebenarnya adalah yang mencintai kita kerana kelebihan kita dan menerima kita kerana kelemahan kita. Dan sudah pastilah orang ini ikhlas dalam menyayangi diri kita... INSYA ALLAH.

Saturday morning

horee horee horee..finished reading "manufacturing systems"..feel so great though i'm slightly off-track..but the subject was quite interesting..never imagine that manufacturing something needs a lot of equations in order to minimise the cost..thats new..i thought the equations thingy just work when we want to calculate the key to success.."usaha + sabar = berjaya".."game + tido = lingkup"..but guys, bare in mind..master yoda once told me..."(usaha + tido)/(game +sabar) = 1st class upper"..yeahh baby..because the bad things will cancel out each other..see..our life is filled with lots of equations..
hmm..watched "scrubs" the first episode this morning..after watching it, i fancy being a doctor rather than being "engineers with equations"..hehe..sorry engineers..bye bye..if only doctors don't have to go "on-call", i think the job is interesting..plus the good things we're about to do to people and the big money waiting for us..hehehe..money minded huh..well all doctors out there..keep it up..
now the yucky thing.."Professional Responsibility of Engineers" subject..actually theres not much to study..but the lecturer gave us so many pages of case studies making the subject seems so complicated..do i have to know the details of the "hatfield" train crash? do i have to know bits and pieces of the "folding bicycle"?..do i?..i think not..i just have to know the type of approach needed to face those kinds of situations in real life..the case study helps us to understand the theory more..yes, its true..perhaps not too much details so that we (the students, especially the non-western european background as claimed by the lecturer) can differentiate between the course's materials and the unwanted things..blimey..
be patience and take a deep breath..just remember the success equation i gave you guys just now..right now..i feel like eating kuey teow goreng..saw some dried kuey teow in the cupboard downstairs..yummy..

Singalong

....
Jamrud - Surti & Tejo
Surti remaja anak bapak kades
Dan si Tejo jejaka baru aja mudik
Berdua saling mencinta sejak lulus SD
Hingga kini beranjak gede
Surti sumringah arjunanya pulang
Tiga tahun berpisah nyari dana di kota
Mereka melepas rindu dipematang sawah
Hingga malam selimuti desa
Jemari Tejo mulai piknik dari wajah, sampai lutut surti
Tanpa sadar sarung merekapun jadi alas
Mirip demo memasak
Tejo mulai berakting di depan Surti
Masang alat kontrasepsi
Surti menjerit, serentak menutup matanya
Surti menangis kecewa arjuna berubah

Reff
Hilang Tejo yang dulu ngampung, dekil lugu, tapi Surti suka
Berganti tejo yang gaul, yang funky, yang doyan ngucapin

....emberrrrrr....

Surti berlari kayak kesurupan
Dan sitejo ngelamun menahan konaknya
Diacungkan jari tengah ke arah Surti,
Penuh dendam di bilang ...Fu**** you...

And Smeghole sez..

don't you guys ever do this during the "Return of The King"

1. Stand up halfway through the movie and yell loudly, "Wait... where the hell is Harry Potter?"
2. Point and laugh whenever someone dies.
3. Ask everyone around you if they think Gandalf went to Hogwarts.
4. Finish off every one of Elrond's lines with "Mr. Anderson."
5. Talk like Gollum all through the movie. At the end, bite off someone's finger and fall down the stairs.
6. Dress up as old ladies and reenact "The Battle of Helms Deep" Monty Python style.
7. When Denethor lights the fire, shout "Barbecue!"
8. Every time someone kills an Orc, yell: "That's what I'm Tolkien about!" See how long it takes before you get kicked out of the theatre.
9. During a wide shot of a battle, inquire, "Where's Waldo?"
10. Start an Orc sing-a-long.
11. Talk loudly about how you heard that there is a single frame of a nude Elf hidden somewhere in the movie.
12. Come to the premiere dressed as Frankenfurter and wander around looking terribly confused.
13. When they go in the paths of the dead, wait for tense moment and shout, "I see dead people!"
14. Imitate what you think a conversation between Gollum, Dobby and Yoda would be like.

My PreCiOussss......

I am so Grateful

Dear mom and dad,
how are you guys doing..i hope fine..may Allah bless you every minute, every hour, every day..i'm doing great here in Sheffield. i wrote this letter just to say thank you very much for always being there for me. If not for what you have done to me, i'll not be the person I am now and be here in Sheffield. Theres many ups and downs in my life lately. I wish you guys are here with me to see and help me deal with all of them. I dont know wether Ive done the right things or not. Hopefully yes for most of the time. Really need your help mom. Teach me to be strong like you. Why cant i? why am I so fragile? am I too soft-hearted?. If so, is that a bad thing or a good thing mom. Dad..Uve taught me to be kind with my friends and other people. I did that but sometimes they just cant understand it. Tried my best to bring happiness to ppl around me like you do. Dont know wether i've done enough. I think I irritate them more than I make them happy especially the one person loved :(...I even say nothing whenever they yell at me, dad. Yet you guys havent yell at me for a long time since I turned teenager. Too much tolerant perhaps? Sometimes I lost my patience but I never show it to them. Just like what u guys did to me..my bad..mom, I think this is the price i have to pay for hurting you and dad. Forgive me mom. Forgive me dad. Promise wont let you guys cry anymore. I know im the blacksheep in our family. i'm sorry. i'll improve myself as time goes by and make u guys proud of me. But will both of you still be there when the time comes? Only God know. I just wanna let you guys know how grateful I am to have you as my parents. Nobody can replace your place in my heart. Love you, mom and dad..

big day ahead

its monday today..guess theres not much different with other days..and again..woke up late..but i think its ok coz before i slept this morning i finished reading one topic on materials..thats an improvement i think compared to last few days..well..today i listen to christina aguilera's song again and again..her voice is very soulful..shes my favourite artist now..hehe..goodbye siti nurhaliza and jennifer lopez..u guys are good but not powerful enough..here is a lyric of her song which i fell in love with..

Christina Aguilera - The Voice Within

Young girl, don't cry
I'll be right here when your world starts to fall
Young girl, it's all right
Your tears will dry, you'll soon be free to fly

When you're safe inside your room you tend to dream
Of a place where nothing's harder than it seems
No one ever wants or bothers to explain
Of the heartache life can bring and what it means

chorus
When there's no one else
Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend
Just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength
That will guide your way
If you will learn to begin
To trust the voice within

Young girl, don't hide
You'll never change if you just run away
Young girl, just hold tight
And soon you're gonna see your brighter day

Now in a world where innocence is quickly claimed
It's so hard to stand your ground when you're so afraid
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
When you're lost outside look inside to your soul

[chorus]

Yeah...
Life is a journey
It can take you anywhere you choose to go
As long as you're learning
You'll find all you'll ever need to know

(Be strong)
You'll break it
(Hold On)
You'll make it
Just don't forsake it because
No one can stop you
You know that I'm talking to you

[chorus]

Young girl don't cry
I'll be right here when your world starts to fall

What a day

a disaster..woke up late and miss my subuh prayer..:(...poor me..then called my sweetheart and we had a long conversation this morning..she had this big problem and better not to write it here..Many thanks to vodafon and their free minutes though..after that i covered myself with my magical blue mantel(duvet) and suddenly my world turns black in a blink of an eye..when i woke up at 2pm i felt a bit dizzy of sleeping too long..don't know what to do afterwards..study?play games?cook lunch(like i've done that before)?..aarrghhh...have to cook today anyway..
I live in a house of 6 with my frens (but is the 6th one considered as our housemate?..i doubt that, hehe)..and we have a cooking rota..chip(my housemate) and I will cook every 2 days..anip and bo(also my housemates) cook the day after we cook alternately because they cook alone(berapa banyak cook daaa)..i prefer to be accompanied and the unfortunate person here is chip..just imagine sittin in the kitchen, cutting onion, washing chicken legs, and cook just by urself..i know some people wouldn't mind but not me..i'll die doing that alone..plus the fact that we all have lots of unwanted housemates (mouse) living in our kitchen and I really hate them..but chip has been the second best cookmate i've ever had..surely the first one is my lovely mom..
regarding the mouse which have infiltrate our house..actually this year's mouse are smaller than last year's..as i remembered, last year we killed a mouse..no no..its a rat, sewer rat..it was like as big as a size 9 sneaker..to show how gangster he(the rat) is, he ran on chip's feet when we were busy cooking in the kitchen and we end up cooking on the chairs..both of us..thank god it didn't jump into our meal....really thats the biggest rat i've ever seen in my life..top of the chart..the next day..we found the same the rat on our kitchen floor.."huaa..gangster siott"..I tot it was sleeping but not..yeayyy it died but eewwww whose gonna throw it away...in the end, with the help of some special tools(shoe box,plastic bag,long wooden stick,courage) ad the cheer from anip, I managed to throw it away...until now the cause of death remains unknown..
conclusion..rats and mouse..yuckss!!
