Looks are deceiving

Looks are very deceiving… don’t be fooled. With knowledge you will prosper

This is an earwig. Looks dangerous but it causes no harm to humans even babies.

Compare Earwig and Rove Beetle.

And this is Mr. Charlie (dikenali sebagai Semut Kayap)…

Mama sudah tiada…

Baru sahaja melewati umur 32 tahun, tanggal 24 Disember 2011 adalah tarikh yang sungguh istimewa. Dilahirkan oleh ibuku 32 tahun yang lalu. Iya hanya beberapa jam sebelum Hari Natal. Tidak penting pun kerana bukan perayaanku dan agamaku. Lebih baik aku sambut hari lahirku daripada sibuk merayakan hari Natal. 4 hari kemudian… 28 Disember 2011 adalah hari yang paling sedih, hari ibuku menyambut seruan Ilahi. Tanpa kata, tanpa bunyi dan tanpa erangan, ibuku pergi…. selamanya. Tidak akan kembali lagi. Yang tinggal hanyalah kenangan dan bayangan wajahnya.

Iyalah, mana ada manusia dimuka bumi Allah ini yang bisa menahan kesedihan apabila kehilangan orang yang paling dikasihi. Mungkin di dalam seminggu-dua ini, saya sedikit sensitif. Tahu-tahu je ada air mata yang mengalir. Paling sedih apabila melihat akan katil dimana mama baring sewaktu dia masih hidup. Almari menyimpan perkakasnya yang baru sahaja dibeli oleh isteriku untuknya, bilik air yang direnovate khusus untuk ibuku.

Selama mana dia mahu tinggal dirumahku pun aku tak kisah. Tinggallah selagi mahu. Malangnya… tempoh ibuku tinggal bersamaku hanya dua hari. Sungguh singkat tetapi sangat bermakna.

Oleh itu, pada mereka yang masih mempunyai ibu… sayangilah dan berbakitlah selagi sempat. Menerima berita kematian insan yang dipanggil ibu sangatlah pedih dan tidak tertanggung oleh mana-mana insan (pada pandangan saya).

Sosej Ramli Burger dan Babi

Kecoh baru-baru ini, dikhabarkan oleh yang empunya cerita bahawa produk sosej Ramli Burger mengandungi babi. Yang mempunyai akal panjang pasti menolak dakwaan ini secara bulat-bulat. Namun, berapa ramaikah manusia yang mempunyai akal yang panjang ini? Pasti akan termakan fitnah yang keji dan jelik ini.

Ramli Burger adalah produk Melayu, Muslim dan pastinya Halal. Tidak sanggup rasanya Ramli dan Keluarga berhadapan dengan Allah di akhirat nanti. Oleh itu, haruslah kita berfikir dengan bijak dan panjang mengenai perkara ini. Dengan ini, saya menolak dakwaan karut ini.

Bangga mempunyai kau sebagai rakyat Malaysia

Sejahtera

Rata² media dan massa di Malaysia bercerita tentang politik, Akademi Fantasia dan beberapa kisah² yang “kununnya” membanggakan. Tetapi, hakikatnya… tidaklah begitu membanggakan. Apa ada dengan kehebatan bernyanyi sambil berdansa di kaca tv sambil “membantu” orang² lain sms kepada anda.

Tidaklah hebat jika hendak dibandingkan dengan seorang anak Malaysia berbangsa Melayu apabila dilantik menjadi “fellow” dan juga sebagai pensyarah di sebuah Uni. terkemuka di seantero dunia (Baca: Oxford). Ini baru dipanggil sebagai kehebatan yang optimum.

Dr Muhammad Afifi al-Akiti atau Sheikh Afifi adalah ahli teologi dan falsafah yang arif di dalam Dunia Islam telah dilantik sebagai pensyarah di Universiti Oxford yang sangat berprestij itu. ->> More info here.

Diceritakan kepada saya bahawa beliau bisa berbahasa dengan 7 bahasa iaitu

  • Melayu
  • Inggeris
  • Arab
  • German (bukan yg di New Kasel tuh!!)
  • Perancis
  • Yunani (Aristotle suka neh)
  • Latin (Bahasa Kitab Injil)

Sungguh mengkagumkan dan membanggakan. Oleh itu marilah kita semua berusaha untukmenjadi lebih baik daripada sekarang.

The Success Principles

Good Morning and Sejahtera Everyone

Today, I would like to share something with you. Sent to me via email this morning, the 10 ways to have a better day. Logically, if you start your day with smile, you will end your days with smile and vice-versa. Here goes the 10 ways to have a better day.

[img_assist|nid=1341|title=|desc=|link=node|align=none|width=301|height=400]

Number 1 : Wake up 30 Minutes Early.
Get up 30 minutes before the alarm goes off and take the first half hour for yourself. Once you get busy and into the day there never seems to be the time for yourself. Take this time to plan getting the most from the day.

Number 2 : Read, Listen, or Watch Something Uplifting.
Make this a daily habit. Get out of starting the day with good mental food. A great day does not begin with the news or the paper, it begins with ideas or energy that will propel you through the day. What you first hear will stay with you throughout the day.

Number 3: Eat a Good Breakfast to Start You Off Right.
Get something good into your body to wake it up and get it going. Think about the energy you will need to perform.  Everyday we run a marathon. What would you need to eat and drink to win it.

Number 4 : Choose Your Winning Attitude.
There is enough to go wrong without sabotaging yourself. Your attitude is a choice  you make. Don’t let it come between you and your success. Be careful to keep it positive all day long.

Number 5 : Be Aware of What They are Telling You.
The people around us have a profound effect on how we get through life. Our closest  friends and family are our greatest environmental influences. Make sure you have the best ( +ve ) advisors you can find.

Number 6 : Make the Most of What You Do.
When you get to your work, make it the best place to be. Most people go to work and never think about work while they are there. Focus on your contribution. What would it be like if you were not around. Strive to give a 100% each and every day.

Number 7 : Always Remember that People are Listening.
Make a point of talking well of others. Wish others the best in life. What goes around does come around. Don’t talk about anyone. Try to understand their circumstances Practice being a support system to your friends and family. They need you.

Number 8 : Be Honest and Fair to Others.
It does make a difference. What you give to others is usually what you get from others. Practice integrity that people can see and feel. Be aware of what you say. Learn to walk your talk at all times. The more people trust you, the more of their time they will trust with you.

Number 9 : Pace Your Energy to Last All Day.
Be careful of bursts of energy. Pace your energy throughout the day. If you get to crazy early in the day, you will reach a point of exhaustion before the day is over. By planning your entire day before you begin, you will have what you need. You’ve heard the old saying “look alive.”

Number 10 : Get in Bed Early and Study for the Future.
I have a friend who keeps a journal at his bedside. Every night he writes what he learned new on that day. The only way to keep one step above the masses is to learn new ways to do things. Develop the habit of reading a work or personal development book before you go to sleep. Reading for 30 minutes a day is like a year of college. You can’t succeed if you don’t read.

Cerebral palsy is not a hindrance: The Case of Tom Rogers

Good Morning

Today, while looking for Drupal Resources some tutorials on theming search result, I come across a video posted by Tom Rogers, an English Boy who is affected by a condition known as cerebral palsy. Though not a disease itself, it is a condition which causes physical disability in human development, chiefly in the various areas of body movement.

Cerebral palsy is caused by damage to the motor control centres of the developing brain and can occur during pregnancy, during childbirth or after birth up to about age three. Resulting limits in movement and posture cause activity limitation and are often accompanied by disturbances of sensation, depth perception and other sight-based perceptual problems, communication ability, and sometimes even cognition; sometimes a form of CP may be accompanied by epilepsy. CP, no matter what the type, is often accompanied by secondary musculoskeletal problems that arise as a result of the underlying etiology. Source: Wikipedia

So to speak… CP is not a hindrance to learn, to be excellent, to be great or to be helpful. Most of the time, it is us (not them), who makes them to feel like unwanted and unaccepted. I am impressed to see this boy teaches the world how to drupal via video in youtube. Oh yeah, he also has his own channel at youtube.

All these years, serving as Librarian at Open Uni. Malaysia, I have met many people with physical disadvantage. None of them has shown any signs of defeats or setbacks. Instead, they have this kind of always want to win spirit – sort of I can to this attitude.

So ask yourself whenever you feel like losing or failing – If Boy like Tom can teach the world about something, why can’t you?

Qaisara dan Waktu Malam

Adapun mempunyai anak yang kecil merupakan sebuah cabaran bagi ibu dan bapa yang berkerjaya. Esok nak ke kerja namun si kecil masih belum tidur. Nak dimarahkan tidak sesuai. Bodoh rasanya kalau marah-marah anak yang kecil yang tidak tahu apa itu kerja. Lagi dua bulan, bertambah merah lah mata ini. Si Adam bakal keluar dan dahulunya bertiga, InsyaAllah akan berjadi berempat. Alhamdulillah, nanti akan ada sepasang. Ramai yang berusaha untuk tambah satu atau masih lagi berusaha untuk dapat satu. Syukur kepadaNya kerana diberikan rahmat yang sedemikian rupa.

Ate Mote Mote (Nama Timangan A’eisya Qaisara Munawar) memang susah nak tidur malam. Abie dan Maminya nak tidur, itulah kalanya dia nak main lampu, mengesot nyorok bawah sofa, guling sana dan sini macam ulat dan berusaha merangkak hendak main suis (sebab ada lampu kot??). Esok kami berdua cuti-cuti, tidak apa la. Hari tak kerja memang selamba rock. Tak nak tidur pun tidak apa. Mengkala hari esoknya kerja, huhu… sendiri mau ingat. Macam mana kami berdua buat ibu dan bapa kami tak tidur malam dahulu-kala… macam itulah kami rasa hari ini. Asam dan Garam kehidupan. Sabar sahaja kerana hasilnya InsyaAllah… besar

Nanti bila Adam dah keluar dari rahim ibunya… makin merah kot mata ini. Kita tunggu dan lihat macam mana nanti.
