2 BIG 2 SMALL - THE GREAT MALAYSIAN DREAM
Thrice a week, millions of Malaysians of all races, from all walks of life congregate in tiny 10 by 20 feet places. Men and women who will elbow you out of the way at train and bus stations, queue patiently at hundreds of betting shops scattered across the country. The KTM (Kuda Toto Magnum) shop is as ubiquitous as the neighborhood Seven Eleven, a theatre of dreams for the average Malaysian. Teenagers in shorts, yuppies with ties, women with hair dyed blond, policemen in uniform indulge in the great Malaysian tradition of betting on 4 digit numbers. It was speculated that our Formula One ace, Alexander Yoong fared miserably because he slowed down to look for debris with numerical significance whenever a fellow competitor crashes. Can't blame him though, his sponsor was after all Magnum, one of the leading gaming operators.
The other popular Malaysian preoccupation of setting senseless world records coexists happily with this national pastime. The patriotic desire to preserve Malaysia's record for having the world's highest incidence of road accidents provides punters with a limitless source of numbers and inspiration. If broken vehicle license plates are not available, Malaysians turn to the roadside "Datoks"; mythical shrines and statutes erected underneath trees and big rocks. Opportunists appeased the "Datoks" with ornaments of street worship and received spiritual predictions in return. Those blessed with winning numbers repay their benefactor with fruits, slaughtered chickens or a concrete shelter, depending on the size of the windfall.
On draw days, near closing hours, you'll find a mess of triple parked cars and motorcycles slotted haphazardly into every available space outside the lottery shop. Oddly enough, there is courteous social interaction in 11th hour gambling. The encountered greetings are indicative of the individual's hopes and motivation. When you meet a Chinese acquaintance at the gaming shop, the likely greeting is an optimistic "Fatt Choy" (Prosper). The Malay hopeful, on the other hand, sheepishly explains his presence as "Berlabur" (Investing). The guilt of deviating from sanctioned investments is compounded by the ever present danger of encountering religious department officers on duty. The Indians would greet each other with a redundant Numberela?" (Buying Number?). A kind of mutual reaffirmation that they are both at the right place, at the right time.
Broken number plates often transformed into broken dreams. At coffeshops, the morning after, it's not uncommon to overhear someone cursing "Phui! Chou Hye!" (Smelly Female Genital!) when he discovers the winning number is 'terbalik' (reversed) that of his forecast. Undaunted, another intrepid gambler scans the results in the newspapers like a diligent proof reader. Headlines and front pages are ignored along with the fact that the odds are mathematically against him in this game of chance. For him, no odds are too big and no dreams too small.

PTD oh PTD
Tetapi kali ini aku rasa sangat berbeza sekali. Walaupun hati aku sakit bila membacanya tapi hati aku jadi makin sakit bila memikirkan kebodohan pegawai-pegawai lain di skim yang sama dengan aku. Tidak terfikirkah akan mereka tentang tanggungjawab dan amanah rakyat yang dipikul?? BEtul jugak laa kata mereka bahawa harus diterapkan nilai agama dalam ujian pemilihan PTD sebab mereka-mereka yang buat taik ni takde rasa berdosa langsung. Terutama yang berkhalwat tu...
Semua manusia melakukan kesilapan..itulah ungkapan yang biasa aku dengar bila seseorang tu mengakui akan kesilapan masing-masing..
Aku akui orang skim lain pun sebenarnya lagi teruk dari skim M, tapi ingatlah wahai manusia skim M bahawa anda tidak boleh buat taik sepanjang perkhidmatan anda bersama Kerajaan. Seronok gak baca blog yang kutuk PTD sebab secara tak langsung PTD menjadi ikon buat skim-skim yang lain dan secara tak langsung juga, PTD muda boleh mengetahui serta menilai apa yang patut dan tak patut dibuat dalam perkhidmatannya..
Nway, thanks for the kutukan dan teguran. Bagi aku, aku terima segalanya dengan hati terbuka dan fikiran yang positif. Dah buat taik, kena mengaku laa..ye tak?? Tapi orang lain toksah laa baling batu sembunyi tangan..

Nalbandian scores again
He also beat the world No. 1, Roger "FeDex" Federer twice both the tournaments..although I hate to see Roger loses but Nalbandian did play a splendid game and he deserved to win.
``I was injured the first part of the year,'' Nalbandian said. ``So it wasn't very easy for me to come back and play good tennis.''
The win means Nalbandian is first alternate for the season-ending Masters Cup in Shanghai, which features the top eight players in the ATP race. Federer, Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Nikolay Davydenko, Andy Roddick, David Ferrer, Fernando Gonzalez and Richard Gasquet will play in the Masters Cup, which starts Nov. 11.
I can't wait to wacth that...kudos for you David Nalbandian!!!!

Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri
Tonight is the'Launching of our astronought' but NASA used the terms "space flight participants" but regardless of what others said, we as a Malaysian should be damn proud because two of our countrymen had undergone a hell of a training and now one of them is going to outer space.
Well, I think Raya fever has gotten me more than those astronought.

Shocking weekend
Numero uno!!
RUGBY WORLD CUP
England cruises through with 12-10. Sorry Aussie..it was not your day!!
And New Zealand "All Blacks" also walks out from World Cup with 18-20 defeat to home team, France. This was a bit shocked. I watched the game, even though it started at 3 am and ends at 6 am. I was devastated. Siting in front of my tv in disbelief , wearing an All Blacks cap that the New Zealand's Minister gave me and not remembering my wife called me crazy before that..
Number 2.
F1 Grand Prix
Lewis Hamilton was denied the Youngest Number One title as he crashed and walked out from Chinese Grand Prix pointless. Now the title chase is a three-man race between Fernando Alonso, Kimi Raikonen and Lewis Hamilton.
Anyway, shit happens all the time!!

New Zealand "All Blacks" vs. France
The All Blacks had thrashed France 61-10 in their previous meet in Wellington three months ago. I dont think All Blacks can be stop this year..GO ALL BLACKS!!!!

The 4 Point Checklist Before You Buy Used Golf Clubs
Golf Club Heads
Make sure the used golf clubs do not have major dents and scratches all over the club heads. Ideally, the club heads should be free of gouges, chips in paint, ball marks and scratches. Since it is a used golf clubs, slight ball marks and minor blemishes on top of club head are acceptable.
Golf Club Faces
Golf club faces is utmost important because dents and scratches especially on the clubface could seriously affect the flight path of the golf ball. You may want to check the clubface for worn spot. Usually, face wear is obvious on the used golf clubs that had been heavily played for a long period of time. In general, club face with the scoring lines and markings that still sharp with litter wear and scratches is consider in good condition.

Avram "go to hell" Grant
For Grant though, a former Israel national team coach, appears to have failed in attempts to quell resistance to his appointment as Chelsea manager. According to reports, senior players continue to doubt his ability and qualifications to lead a team of Chelsea's calibre. Members of the coaching staff also have little faith in him.

My New Game
So, after I've been asked thousand of times by my collegue, so I wanna give it a try. Still I haven't forgot this is Ramadhan, a fasting month.
Then, exactly 12 noon, me and my other 2 friends meet at a driving range in Damansara. Quite cheap, RM10 for 100 balls, but I knew places in Cyberjaya that charges you only RM7 for 100 balls.
First 10 shots, I only hit the grass and the balls goes like a hockey ball. Very straight forward below...
But, then they gave a few tips and after that, voilla!!! I hit the ball like a pro.
At the end, for my last few shots, I managed to get 150m distance. Quite impressive for a newbie..
Excited by new experience, i decided to give it another try, or maybe a serious try.
So, friends outside, if you want to join me, learn a bit of what golfing is all about and have the experience of playing golf, feel free to contact me. We can go together as newbies.
As the Malay proverb says,"tak kenal maka tak cinta"

Lesson of Life
The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall. When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen.
The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted.
The second son said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise.
The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen.
The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season in the tree's life.He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.
If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall.
Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest. Don't judge life by one difficult season. Persevere through the difficult patches and better times are sure to come some time or later.
**morale of this story is very related to Chelsea**

The Cancer is spreading
A new chapter in the remarkable recent history of Chelsea opened in controversial and inauspicious fashion at Old Trafford as Avram Grant's first game in charge of the club ended in a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester United.
Although the game seems to be quite bias but Chelsea is already "fucked-up"!! John Obi Mikel was harshly sent off for a foul on Patrice Evra, before Carlos Tevez gave United the lead in the third minute of first half injury time when only two minutes additional time had been signalled.
Then, to add insult to injury, Louis Saha won a dubious penalty in the last minute.
Didier Drogba who took Mourinho's exit from Stamford Bridge worse than any of his teamates has hinted that he maybe following teamates, Micheal Ballack to Real Madrid next season. Arjen Robben , a Ducthman winger has already left Stamford Bdrige for Santiago Bernabeu.
Last words from the Special One - " My feelings are simple. Chelsea was a small club with a small history, with frustration without Premier League titles, until we arrived here and won two titles."
" In my first year, we brought tears of joy because no one had seen Chelsea as English Champions before and that formed a big part of the history of the club"
"The future of Chelsea doesn't interest me now. Win, lose, play well, buy, sell - it doesn't mean absolutely anything to me"
Last word from me - "Fuck you Abramovich!!! Chelsea...you're fucked!!!
Al-Fatihah to Nurin Jazlin Jazimin
Finally, after more than a month went missing, Nurin Jazlin Jaziman, an 8 years old girl found dead in a sport bag near Old Klang Road. She was laid to rest at the Ibu Kota Muslim Cemetery in Taman Danau Kota on Friday.
My wife is 2 month pregnant and soon we will having a child of our own, but my mind clouded with questions. How I am going to ensure the safety of my child? Do I have to implant a GPRS detector to my child? Is Malaysia is not safe anymore?
Actually its our responsibility to make sure that our place is the safest place for our children to live and not depending only on the police service. Nowadays, I am sadden with our social scenario.. If we go 10 years back, anybody will know everybody in that particular place as long as they are neighbours. But what happens today?? Even me dont know the name of my neighbours myself. Thats because they aren't Malaysian..They are Filipinos..
That is another problem of our country. Lots of immigrants and they will do anything for a living as well as their sexual desires. For them, even an 8 years old girl can do!!!! What an animal they are!!! But then, I dont think animal will 'turn on' to another unmature species of their kind.
This is sick!!! And this got to stop!!! We must build back our "Rukun Tetangga" and make our society strong!!! Beware of immigrants. The reason they came are because of work and money. Malaysia have both. Our youngsters nowadays don't want to work as an constructions workers and they will laugh to whoever who did. When this became a trend, immigrant will take the chance and Malaysians are the stupid ones.

Mourinho Leaves Chelsea
Just minutes ago, a statement on the official Chelsea club website has confirmed that the club have parted company with Mourinho by mutual consent. The statement said: "Chelsea Football Club and Jose Mourinho have agreed to part company today (Thursday) by mutual consent."
But still, this is far more unacceptable. It will bring unsettled situation in the dressing room. Some players may also leave alongside The Special One. Didier Drogba, Ricardo Calvarlho,Frank Lampard, John Terry, Frank Malouda and Solomon Kalou to be name a few. These are the Mourinho's minions that makes what Chelsea are about today. Not to mention, Micheal Ballack that will roll-out to be a Real Madrid player in January.
For me, Jose "The Special One" Mourinho is by far the best manager ever in Chelsea Football Club history or even in the world. But only gods knows what will happen next.
Chelsea's next match is against Premier League champions Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday. Its do or die...

ICE - In Case of Emergency
We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its memory but nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers belong to our closest family or friends.If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the people attending us would have our mobile phone but wouldn't know who to call.
Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency? Hence this "ICE" (In Case of Emergency) Campaign. The concept of "ICE" is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact during emergency situations. As cell phones are carried by the majority of the population, all you need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the name "ICE" ( In Case Of Emergency).
The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when he went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn't know which number to call. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose.
In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital Staff would be able to quickly contact the right person by simply dialling the number you have stored as "ICE."
For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 And ICE3 etc. A great idea that will make a difference! Let's spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our Mobile phones today!

Tennis: Federer to face Sampras in Shah Alam
Federer then upset his former idol 7-6 (9-7), 5-7, 6-4, 6-7 (7-2), 7-5 win.
“Practising with Roger in March has given me confidence as I felt that I really could hold my own,” said Sampras in a telephone interview during the press conference to announce the Merdeka Tennis Challenge in Petaling Jaya yesterday.
Meanwhile, the Malaysian Open would feature a qualifying draw as well as a 32-player main draw. There would be no qualifying tournament for the doubles and the main draw would feature 16 pairs.
The organisers will exercise the right to offer at least one wild card entry in the men's singles qualifiers and another in the doubles for Malaysian players.

Bulan Ramadhan Al-Mubarak
Salt vs Talcum powder
Yasmin Yusof, a DJ on Radio 4 asked listeners on her radio program to call to answer trivia questions. The first caller to give the correct answer would get a prize from the sponsor.
She asked,"Can anyone out there tell me the household name of Sodium Chloride"
A caller who is a housewife called up eager to answer the question. Not knowing the answer to the question, she asked Yasmin for a clue.
"Something you put on your husbands eggs in the morning." she said.
The lady confidently said, "Talcum powder".
Yasmin Yusof did not return to the air until after a few songs...

Teks Mufti Perak Menghadap Sultan Perak
Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh,
Hari Isnin, saya ke Kuala Lumpur dan saya menemui enam peguam dan beberapa pemimpin NGO untuk mendengar taklimat mengenai keadaan agama Islam dan orang Islam di negara ini.
Taklimat berlangsung selama empat jam setengah. Pada pagi Selasa, saya telah dipanggil oleh Sultan Perak untuk menyembah taklimat. Kemudian menyembahkan taklimat yang hampir sama pula kepada Majlis Raja-Raja. Saya memberi taklimat mengenai bahaya yang sedang dihadapi oleh umat Islam pada ketika ini.
Bencana umat Islam
Waktu ini ada kes Lina Joy (Azlina binti Jelani) yang sedang menunggu keputusan. Lina Joy memeluk Kristian dan berkahwin dengan seorang India beragama Kristian. Dia pohon kepada Mahkamah supaya namanya ditukar kepada Lina Joy dan agama dipadamkan dari Mykad beliau tetapi Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara tidak dapat memadamkannya kerana tiada perintah dari Mahkamah Syariah.Lantaran itu, beliau telah mencabar ke Mahkamah Persekutuan berasaskan Perkara 11 (1) Perlembagaan Persekutuan yang menyebutkan bahawa tiap-tiap individu rakyat Malaysia berhak memilih agamanya sendiri (Every person has the right to profess and practice his religion)
Kes ini dibicara di hadapan tiga hakim di Mahkamah Agung iaitu Ketua Hakim Negara, seorang hakim bukan Melayu dan seorang hakim beragama Kristian. Jika dalam kes ini Lina Joy menang; maka agama Islam akan hancur. Ia membawa implikasi:
i) Kuasa Raja mengenai agama Islam akan hilang.
ii) Kuasa Mahkamah Syariah tidak boleh dipakai.
iii) Orang Islam tidak boleh memaksa anaknya sembahyang, tidak berhak lagi kutip
zakat dan tiap-tiap orang boleh mentafsir Islam ikut kehendaknya. Itulah akibatnya.
Malangnya orang Islam nampaknya tidak prihatin sehingga dalam perbicaraan itu. Tidak ramai yang hadir untuk menyatakan sikap dan sokongan. Majlis Agama pun dilihat tidak menghantar orang Islam. Pemerhati dari Islam tiada. Ini berbeza dari kalangan bukan Islam. Hatta, peguam/pemerhati dari Kedutaan Kanada , Australia dan Amerika Syarikat pun sanggup datang.Bahkan, peguam-peguam pemerhati ini dibenarkan berhujah. Ini amat berbahaya. Ia belum pernah berlaku. Jadi Majlis Raja-Raja sedikit tersentak setelah saya melaporkan perkara ini.
Peguam Negara telah dipanggil oleh Majlis Raja-Raja dan Peguam Negara kata tidak boleh buat apa-apa. Tunggu keputusan saja. Inilah keadaan yang telah menjadi bagaikan telur di hujung tanduk.
Gerakan Kristian dan Hinduisme
Orang Melayu yang berjinak dengan Kristian biasa dilatih secara mendalam di Singapura. Identiti mereka ditukar. Sekarang, terdapat dua gereja orang Melayu di Kuala Lumpur. Di Brickfield, ada usaha memberi makan tengah hari percuma pada hari Jumaat kepada remaja Melayu yang lepak supaya mereka leka dan tidak pergi ke masjid. Terdapat ratusan pemuda-pemuda Melayu pergi ke gereja di Brickfield ini.
Saya telah memberitahu juga hampir 250,000 orang Islam yang murtad tapi saya dicabar oleh Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri. Orang Islam yang memeluk agama Hindu sahaja sudah hampir 100,000 orang. (Sumber : jangkaan Persatuan India Muslim). Bahkan mengikut laporan pihak polis, belia-belia Islam yang menganggotai black metal, yang memaki Tuhan sudah ada 13,000 hingga 14,000. Orang yang ikut Ayah Pin yang mempercayai "Ayah Pin itu Tuhan" adalah 14,000 orang. Ini yang menjadikan saya lantang.
Majlis Raja-Raja Bangkitkan:
1) Apa peranan masjid.
2) Apa peranan imam-imam dan pengurusan masjid.
3) Kenapa tidak bendung sedangkan ada undang-undang.
Peguam Negara kata, berbezanya paderi dengan imam-imam kita ialah paderi-paderi menunggu kedatangan hadirin seperti menghormati tetamu di pintu gereja. Mereka memberi khutbah dengan terancang dan profesional sehingga orang boleh yakin dengan cakap-cakap mereka. Selesai majlis, mereka tunggu di pintu gereja dan mengucapkan selamat. Mereka suka bertanya khabar dan suka ambil tahu dan sering tawarkan pertolongan. Bezanya, khutbah kita tidak menarik. Disampai secara tidak profesional.
Di Uzbakistan dan China , walaupun 70 tahun ditekan, mereka masih kuat. Dalam keadaan yang cukup kuat ditekan, mereka cuma utamakan penyebaran salam dan kuatkan silaturrahim di samping membaca ayat-ayat suci Al-Quran di dinding-dinding masjid. Imam masih boleh berbahasa Arab. Itu ketika Komunis berkuasa. Ini rahsia kekuatan mereka dapat bertahan.
Serangan aqidah di Malaysia
Sekarang di Malaysia kita diserang dalam bentuk yang dahsyat. Serangan pemikiran.
1) Golongan intelektual.Orang Kristian yang buat serangan. Walaupun mereka berjaya serang tetapi mereka tidak dapat tawan hati orang Islam. Untuk itu mereka cuba mempelajari Islam dengan untuk menyerang Islam. Mereka juga wujudkan fakulti-fakulti Islam di universiti mereka.
2) Mereka juga melahirkan kekacauan kepercayaan lalu membawa pemikiran Islam liberal. Mereka letak semua agama itu sama. Ia datang dari sumber yang sama iaitu Tuhan yang sama. Cuma masa wahyu turun, Islam diterjemah dalam mesej ketuhanan itu mengikut bahasa-bahasa berbeza sesuai dengan bangsa dan keturunan Nabi. Tegas mereka, kitab-kitab suci itu adalah terjemahan. Oleh itu ia boleh dipinda dan ditafsirkan semula. Dalam kurun ke 16, ia telah disaran oleh Yahudi dan diterima oleh para paderi Kristian.
Ini yang menjadikan Kristian berpecah pada berpuluh-puluh mazhab. Dulu, cuma ada Kristian dari mazhab Roman Katholik. Masing-masing menuduh masing-masing mazhab kafir. Inilah pula yang dibawa ke dalam dunia Islam.
Islam liberal begini mulai masuk pula ke Indonesia . Mereka menguasai universiti dan media dengan dilindungi dan disokong dengan kuat oleh AS dengan berbilion-bilion USD. Ini menjadikan fakulti-fakulti pengajian Islam di universiti-universi ti di Indonesia sudah tidak ada lagi penuntut. Kini sudah ada fatwa di Indonesia bahawa perkahwinan lelaki sesama lelaki itu sah. Faraid dan hudud sudah tidak relevan dan harus dibuang. Ini pun hampir difatwakan akhir-akhir ini oleh Majlis Agama Indonesia. Ia sedang berkembang kerana tulisan-tulisan ini dipelopori oleh intelektual.
Sekarang, di Malaysia pun sudah terbawa-bawa. Begitu. Tulisan-tulisan yang liberal seumpama ini biasanya ditulis oleh wartawan-wartawan dalam akhbar-akhbar berbahasa Inggeris. Dulu Astora Jabat saja yang tulis dalam akhbar Melayu. Kini, Astora guna majalah Al Islam pula sebagai platform dengan ditukar namanya kepada Hussin Ab. Rahman. Kasim Ahmad pun sekarang sudah diberi tempat semula untuk menulis dalam Al Islam.
Keputusan kes pakai serban Ini ada laporannya dalam semua akhbar. Bagaimana 3 murid Islam memakai serban di sekolah telah diberhentikan dan kes mereka pula kalah di mahkamah. Sedang penganut agama lain kenapa bebas memkai serban dan mengamal agama mereka ? Ini satu penghinaan yang sungguh dahsyat ke atas Nabi kita dan Islam pada amnya.
Allah jadikan sembahyang berjemaah lima waktu. Ini bertujuan untuk melahirkan ukhwah. Hikmahnya cukup besar. Seorang orientalis buat kajian kenapa ada rakaat-rakaat dalam sembahyang. Orientalis yang akhirnya masuk Islam itu, sembahyang itu sebagai satu bentuk caj. Pertemuan bahu dengan bahu, kaki dan kaki dia akan caj kuasa rohani.
Untuk itu, kita perlu kuatkan diri. Orang Hindu sedang kuatkan diri mereka. Mereka giat buat tokong Hindu. Di Perak misalnya, ada 2,000tokong Hindu sedangkan masjid cuma 560 buah sahaja. Dan agama Hindu ini semakin menampakkan keganasan. Terdapat ramai juga orang Melayu yang diHindukan. Kini, Filem-filem Bollywood juga di gunakan untuk mendakyahkan agama Hindu di seluruh dunia. Harap kepada siapa?
Kita tidak boleh lagi harapkan pihak berkuasa Jakim, Jabatan Agama atau pihak kerajaan untuk melindungi kita. Allah tidak amanahkan Islam, al-Quran dan Sunnah ini kepada kerajaan tetapi Allah amanahkan kepada setiap individu muslim.
Allah S.W.T berfirman:"Kami wariskan al-Quran itu kepada hamba-hamba Kami yang terpilih iaitu yang beriman kepada Allah; (bukan kepada kerajaan)."
Peringatan-Peringatan Daripada Allah S.W.T.
Tsunami, gerak gempa bumi, ramai umat Islam yang mati. Ini peringatan. Kenapa di Acheh dan Bangladesh ?
Bukan bermakna orang Acheh yang bermaksiat, tetapi mungkin maksiat berlaku di tempat lain. Bagaimanapun, pada malam kejadian itu, ada permainan tari menari dan pesta minum arak di pantai yang berdekatan.
Demikian, sedikit ringkasan. Wallahu a'lam

Kursus Pengucapan Awam dan Penulisan Teks Berkualiti
Pada 9-12 April, aku kembali ke INTAN Bukit Kiara untuk menjalani Kursus Pengucapan Awam dan Penulisan Teks Berkualiti.
Puan Rahimah Yeop yang sememangnya aku kenali sekarang dah ada 'sidekick' baru iaitu Puan Siti Mariam. Dua-dua orang ni memang layak masuk Program Komunikasi dan Pembangunan Latihan, INTAN.
So kelas kami ada 14 orang. Sayangnya, last day iaitu hari persembahan ucapan, salah seorang dari kami, Encik Roslan terpaksa pulang ke Pulau Pinang kerana bapa mertuanya meninggal dunia. Al-Fatihah.
Gambar ini diambil pada majlis penutup kursus ini. Aku rasa kursus ni best kerana tenaga pengajarnya yang berdedikasi dan penyertaan yang sangat baik dari peserta. Aku juga dapat berkenalan dengan kawan baru yang semuanya tidak pernah berjumpa sebelum ini. Atleast dapat jugak tambah network terutamanya dengan penghulu kami, dari Telekom Malaysia, dan juga yang lain terutama dari Pejabat Mufti, Agensi Dadah Negara, Pembangunan Wanita, JKR, Jabatan Penerbangan, Muzium Negara, LHDN, Bomba dan juga Pejabat Undang-undang.
Antara yang menarik kursus ni, pada hari terakhir kami disuruh membuat pengucapan awam dan pengucapan awam kami dinilai oleh ahli kelas sendiri. Keputusannya, tempat pertama dimenangi oleh penghulu kami, tempat kedua oleh Cik Edawati dari Pembangunan Wanita dan ketiga oleh En Baharuddin dari Agensi Dadah.
Walaupun aku takde tempat langsung, tapi aku puas hati dengan ilmu yang aku perolehi dari kursus tersebut.
Kepada sahabat-sahabat kursus Pengucapan Awam dan Penulisan Teks Berkualiti, harap panjang umur dan murah rezeki, semoga kita berjumpa lagi.

Suara Hati Seorang PTD...Guru perlu buka minda
Beza Pegawai Tadbir dan Diplomatik (PTD) dan guru bagai langit dan bumi. Guru dilatih untuk menguasai kemahiran dalam bidang P&P. PTD dilatih sebagai penjawat awam untuk bidang pengurusan dan pentadbiran awam termasuklah pembangunan, perolehan dan perkhidmatan.
Tugas-tugas sebegini di Jabatan Pelajaran Negeri (JPN) sememangnya milik PTD.
Seringkali kedengaran guru bersatu demi kenaikan pangkat tetapi jarang muncul dalam media massa guru bersatu demi kenaikan prestasi sekolah.
Apa silapnya latihan kepada guru hingga melahirkan guru yang hilang arah tujunya dalam mendidik anak bangsa (bukan semua)?Jawatan penerbit rancangan di Bahagian Teknologi Pendidikan Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia (KPM) dan kaunselor di sekolah turut digurukan hingga menjadi guru kaunseling/bimbingan tetapi Persatuan Penerbit Rancangan dan Kaunselor Malaysia dan Dunia tidak pernah bersengkang mata dengan pelbagai simposium dan kolokium semata-mata untuk mencipta resolusi tolak guru yang masuk tanpa diundang dalam skim bakat dan seni atau sosial?
Implikasinya KPM terpaksa mengeluarkan sejumlah peruntukan besar untuk melatih `bidan terjun' dan `pak sanggup' kaunselor dan penerbit rancangan ini yang rata-ratanya tiada kepakaran dalam bidang berkenaan.Hakikatnya masalah disiplin dan buli semakin meruncing di sekolah, TV Pendidikan tidak menjadi wahana pembelajaran dan saya percaya ramai pelajar dan guru sendiri tidak menggunakan TV Pendidikan.
Inilah `dosa' yang kita semua tanggung apabila kita tidak meletakkan orang yang terbaik kepada jawatan yang sesuai. Kita paksa guru yang pakar dalam P&P menjadi kaunselor dan penerbit rancangan yang tidak termasuk dalam pakej latihan perguruan di IPTA dan IPG.
Bahagian Sumber Manusia (BSM) KPM yang selama ini dikhususkan untuk PTD telah menerima kemasukan guru. Pegawai PTD tidak pernah buang guru malah pegawai inilah yang bersusah payah memohon dengan JPA untuk mempersilakan guru di BSM.
Indahnya perkhidmatan awam di Malaysia ini bila kita melatih individu dan meletakkannya di tempat yang dia sepatutnya ada. Ini akan menjana penggunaan guna tenaga yang optimum.Harap-harapnya guru terbuka minda, jangan fikir sempit. Pentingkanlah hasrat negara untuk menyediakan pendidikan berkualiti untuk semua. Ini akan dapat dicapai bila wujudnya kerjasama dengan perkhidmatan lain.
Renungkanlah semula semasa anda di institusi pendidikan yang melatih anda menjurus ke arah pemantapan proses pengajaran serta pembelajaran dan bukannya tugas-tugas pentadbiran atau perkeranian....

Out Again
Aih..dah nak naik pangkat ke aku?? Kalu ikutkan, aku masih tak layak nak naik pangkat. Banyak lagi yang aku kena belajar. Jawab soklan PTK pun tunggang terbalik lagi. Inikan lagi kalau dah naik pangkat, mesti org 'expect' aku dah pandai buat keja. "Mengular" aku reti laa, tu skill aku paling hebat.
Tapi, dari apa yg aku sembang dengan orang JPA, penempatan aku yang baru dah pun ditetapkan..aku kena balik MOSTI. Terus terang aku katakan, aku dah suka duduk di Meteorologi ni. Sukan ada, aktiviti sosial pun ada..bos pun ok..
Nway, ni semua cabaran dalam hidup yang aku kena hadapi...

5 Golden Lesson
A junior manager, a senior manager and their boss are on their way to a meeting. On their way through a park, they come across a wonder lamp. They rub the lamp and a ghost appears. The ghost says, "Normally, one is granted three wishes but as you are three, I will allow one wish each
"So the eager senior manager shouted, "I want the first wish. I want to be in the Bahamas, on a fast boat and have no worries." Pfufffff. and he was gone.
Now the junior manager could not keep quiet and shouted "I want to be In Florida with beautiful girls, plenty of food and cocktails." Pfufffff. and he was also gone.
The boss calmly said, "I want these two idiots back in the office after lunch at 12.35pm." MORAL OF THE STORY IS: "ALWAYS ALLOW THE BOSS TO SPEAK FIRST"
LESSON 2
Standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand,
"Listen," said the CEO, "this is a very sensitive and important document, and my secretary has left. Can you make this thing work?"
"Certainly," said the young executive.He turned the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button.
"Excellent, excellent!" said the CEO as his paper disappeared inside the shredder machine. "I just need one copy."
LESSON II: "NEVER, NEVER ASSUME THAT YOUR BOSS KNOWS EVERYTHING"
LESSON 3
An American and a Japanese were sitting on the plane on the way to LA
When the American turned to the Japanese and asked, "What kind of -ese are you?
"The Japanese confused, replied, "Sorry but I don't understand what you mean."
The American repeated, "What kind of -ese are you?"
Again, the Japanese was confused over he question.The American, now irritated, then yelled, "What kind of -ese are you... Are you a Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese!, etc......???
" The Japanese then replied, "Oh, I am a Japanese."
A while later the Japanese turned to the American and asked What kind Of 'key' was he.
The American, frustrated, yelled, "What do you mean what kind of -kee'am I?!"
The Japanese said, "Are you a Yankee, donkee, or monkee?"
LESSON III: "NEVER INSULT ANYONE"
LESSON 4
There were these 4 guys, a Russian, a German, an American and a French, who found this small genie bottle. When they rubbed the bottle, a genie appeared. Thankful that the 4 guys had released him out of the bottle, He said, "Next to you all are 4 swimming pools, I will give each of you A wish. When you run towards the pool and jump, you shout what you want the pool of water to become, then your wish will come true.
" The French wanted to start. He ran towards the pool, jumped and shouted, "WINE".The pool immediately changed into a pool of wine. The Frenchman was so happy swimming and drinking from the pool.
Next is the Russian's turn, he did the same and shouted, "VODKA" and immersed himself into a pool of vodka. The German was next and he jumped and shouted, "BEER". He was so contented with his beer pool.The last is the American. He was running towards the pool when suddenly He steps on a banana peel. He slipped towards the pool and shouted, "SHIT!!!!!!! ......... "
LESSON IV: "THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU SAY SOMETHING, BECAUSE SOMETIMES SHIT HAPPENS"
LESSON 5
The organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide who was In charge. Each organ took a turn to speak up:
Brain....... .. I should be in charge because I run all body functions.
Blood....... . I should be in charge because I circulate oxygen for thebrain.
Stomach... I should be in charge because I process food to the brain.
Legs........ . I should be in charge because I take the brain where it Wants to go.
Eyes........ . I should be in charge because I let the brain see where it'sgoing.
Asshole..... I should be in charge because I get rid of your waste.
All the other parts laughed so hard and this made the asshole very mad.
To prove his point, the asshole immediately slammed tightly closed and Stayed that way for 6 days, refusing to rid the body of any waste whatsoever.
Day 1 - Brain got a terrible headache and cried out for relief
Day 2 - Stomach got bloated and began to ache terribly
Day 3 - Legs got cramps and became unstable
Day 4 - Eyes became watery and vision became blurred
Day 5 - Blood became toxic and poisoned the body
Day 6 -The other organs agreed to let the asshole be in charge.
MORAL OF THE STORY: "NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, OR HOW IMPORTANT YOU THINK YOU ARE, YOU WILL FIND THAT IT IS ALWAYS THE ASSHOLE THAT IS IN CHARGE"

I'm Back
on the left is the enggagement ring. Maymel seems very happy since she saw this ring and its good for me. I dunno why diamonds have very good persuasive skill with women? Their eyes goes bling-bling when they saw one. I wonder if women evaluations for love depends on how big the diamonds are?? "palis-palis jauh-jauh"!!!

Cinta : The Review
Usually I will have something to eat and fill my stomach first before driving back home. At least when your stomach is full, the stupidity that comes out are reduced. But, new problem arise; where to eat??
Then I realised that it has been a while for me since the last time I went to a 'pasar malam'. Lucky for me, there was a 'pasar malam' in front of vista angkasa and I parked my car nearby. After bought some 'nasi ayam' and 'keropok lekor' for dinner, I saw a stall selling pirated CDs and finally for RM4, I bought a Malay movie, Cinta. I know that it is wrong especially for a government servant like me to support these pirates but honestly I never feel satisfied with the standard of a Malay movies and frankly speaking, most of Malay movies CDs should should be sold same price as a pirated one..I'm not a generous guy but i'm not that stingy neither..
But I guess I was wrong..
Not because of the inconvenience watching a very low quality of dubbing process, fed-up with the interruption when the cd hanged and the idiotic act of not buying extra stock for cigarets...but i found out that this 'Cinta' is the kind of a story I've been waiting all along. The story line, the plots, the scripts and all the expression of the actors were put in a higher standard than before. It really makes the industry proud.
Although it was a bit similar to a Filipino telemovie called "Bcoz of U" and American movie "Love Actually", but still 'Cinta' has its own originality and quality. As our industry has upgraded, maybe next time, Malaysian's producer could use a proper film to shoot so that our movie will not look like a 'soap-drama' kind of picture..
I really recommend this movie, and it worth buying the original CD..hehehe..ok,ok..I will also get one original too..like the motto when I was in USM, Penang. "Kepimpinan melalui teladan"..

Pameran Kegemilangan Sains dalam Tamadun Islam
Well, our journey started after Solat Jumaat, as it turns out 'semua tak pegi' sebab diaorg musafir, including me..hehehe..
Aku dengar group semalam kucar kacir sebab arahan dari pihak Urusetia tak berapa jelas. So, awal pagi lagi aku dah jumpa Urusetia dan dapatkan arahan yang sepatutnya untuk aku dan ahli group aku.
First stop, Petronas Philharmonic Orchestra Hall,the place where Datuk Siti Nurhaliza organized a concert with Dato' S.M Salim. Aku takut tak sempat dengan masa Dewan tu beroperasi, jadi situlaa aku tuju dulu. Walaupun the audience hanya mendengar taklimat dari pegawai yang bertugas di sana, but they gave their best attention to the brief they've been given.
But the main event for that day, is the Exibition itself..it only took them about 1 hour to finish the exibition with the help of "Digi ghost look alike" that wears a yellow uniform with mini P.A System attached to thier body..
Lawatan berakhir pada pukul 6 petang apabila semua ahli lawatan menaiki bas masing-masing. Ucapan 'terima kasih' tak lekang dari mulut mereka. Kembang hati aku, atleast kami dah lakukan tugas kami dengan baik. Syabas..
