1st of February 2012..

What a day. Thinking afresh of whom am I. Can't be like this for long. I have to change ways of looking at things. No more the same. Should I look back or look forward? Or should I just stand still and just watch things go by. Have to do something with my life. Kepada Allah saya memohon petunjuk. Allahuakbar.

Why the dream...?

I have not seen this man for quite some time. And yesterday he visited me in my dream. A dream is always the opposite of what we usually imagine of someone. He is not that lively as before. But his face reflects two clear indications. One, he appears happy. And two, he is quite excited in meeting me. And one thing that makes me happy is that he is okay now and now I know where he is if I were to see him again. Sesungguhnya ketenangan seseorang adalah hasil dari mengenal dan mengetahui sesuatu. Firman Allah yang pertama, bacalah. Allahuakbar.

Getting the gist....

It sounds hardworking and a very conscious effort. It sounded possessive. As in a small thing to a very big one, it portrays more of the inner than the outward. Or more inner than the inner and more outward than the outward. Sounds fake. Sounds directive. Sounds punitive. And for this particular case, it sounds more inner than the inner, too deep that makes me wonder and keeps wondering and the label I can think of is none other than just nothing. Allah is Great. Berserahlah kepada yang Esa kerana dari Allah adalah Kekuatan yang Sebenar kerana kerangkuman nya menembusi segala-galanya yang tidak terfikir dan tidak terasa sebelum tiba masanya.Ya Allah sesungguhnya hidup ini adalah nikmat kepada yang telah dijadikan. Bersyukurlah. Allahuakbar.

lontaran ke dalam...

Terasa tak? Macam dibuat buat, semuanya adalah merupakan lontaran ke dalam dan tidak ada lontaran ke luar.Ganjil kan? Ianya merupakan satu  permainan yang mana kemenangan ditentukan oleh ketepatan lontaran ke dalam. Anehnya tidak ramai yang pandai berbuat demikian. Tidak disuruh dan tidak pula diarah, lontaran tidak menepati sasaran hanya sipi sipian. Ada yang terus melambung ke luar membikin kucar kacir kepada penonton yang tidak berdosa.Kerana ingin mempertahankan hak tanah air, sanggup menghalau manusia yang tidak tentu lagi beriman atau tidak. Mengapa tidak sahaja manusia ini dipisahkan mengikut banyak dosa dan banyak pahala. Atau membezakan mereka yang banyak rambut dengan yang tidak ada rambut langsung. Atau dibahagikan mengikut kategori cara mati. Kalau cara hidup boleh ditentukan mengapa tidak barangan dibuat mengikut cara mati. Ada atau tidak? Mengapa tidak? Tetapi bagi hidup pula ianya dinampakkan sebagai gaya hidup. Gaya hidup benda yang nampak. Toleh belakang dah nampak gaya hidup seseorang. Cara mati pula hanya sekadar dengar dengar. Gracias framework. Saya terlontar kedalam dengan tepatnya mengena sasaran. Adakah saya beriman? Itu soalan mati. Atau adakah saya berjaya dan gembira? Itu soal gaya hidup. Sesungguhnya dalam segala hal adalah dibawah Kekuasaan Allah. Allahuakbar.

Gracias framework...

Stand to benefit if the gracias framework is to be set as a background to the pondering of billion thoughts of world events and world episodes from weirdo countries. Can play host to anything. It is just like a very big stadium that can accommodate any numbers of spectators that want to witness anything from a melancholy drama to a comical one. And it can serve as a soul shelter to a lost body. No wonder it so bare of bones and flesh. Because the framework has been upgraded to the highest of known quality standards of benchmarks. It is not of a SIRIM kind but of a KIRIM kind., fast, quick,and flashy. It truly a soul delivery that POS LAJU fail to deliver. In a matter of light nano second, here I am, a flash light of new me.Allahuakbar.

making inroads and that is progress..

Into an uncharted territory. Deep south, deep north, or deep inside me or inside someone where the devil resides occupying places that belongs to someone else. Ya Allah sesungguhnya tidak ada dua bagi Allah. Allah Yang Esa Yang Berkuasa dan Menguasai Segala-galanya. Allahuakbar.

crystal clear..

It is a crystal clear case of overstepping the moral boundaries of what I am and who you are. I have not been very objective in this. Unconsciously I am dragged into an uknown territory of things that just do not make any sense. Thus the unnecessary fear in myself that causes myself intimidating myself. They are somewhat clear with them. Why not me? But sensing the imbalance in me I think I have been made irresponsible for what I am and in certain cases I have been used. What a joke? Is it not funny? Kepada Allah saya bermohon kekuatan. Allauakbar.

Penting dan Benteng...

Penting tidak memberi sebarang maksud yang berfaedah jika ianya tidak menjadi benteng kepada pengaruh yang cuba diseludup masuk oleh mereka dan perkara yang hanya memikirkan duit dan keuntungan yang tidak diberkati. Sesungguhnya dengan topik topik yang telah ditulis, diharap ianya merupakan benteng kepada perkara yang ada unsur kerapuhan di sana sini baik dalam diri sendiri mahu  apa pun diluar sana. Kepada Allah kita memohon perlindungan dari ketaksuban yang melampau. Ya Allah bawalah hamba Mu ini ke jalan yang benar. Allahuakbar.

the mistake has to be wiped out...

If you make a mistake, and if there is no other way of redoing  it, then just wipe it out by way you seem fit. To eliminate or disseminate? Question asked but the answer is not easy. Some have just to be wiped out from the face of the earth.. Itulah yang berlaku kepada kaum Nabi Noah kerana keingkaran kepada suruhan Allah maka didatangi banjir besar. Allahuakbar.

Deadly real...

A dream can be deadly real. Then it is no longer a dream. Then what is it? It is a nightmare, a semi conscious state of mind. Anything that is not full is fearful. When can it be full? It is okay to be short but a shortage of anything can be destructive. A prolong state of shortage can dampen the heart and the spirit. It is deadly. So stand up and look up. Hanya kepada Allah kita memohon pertolongan dan berdoalah supaya hidup penuh keperkasaan. Allauakbar.

We have had enough of these...

I have been following events and news through the newspapers and the electronic media. Personally I think some news are not newsworthy at all. What is written and what is on the air are not worth watching and worth reading. I think I have had enough of stories that seem to fulfill the whims, fancies, and lust of the rich, the famous, and the evil. In the small things lie the secret to life. Awed with big events, but the events are nothing but just sheer display of nothingness and a move towards destruction. Allah is Great. Allahuakbar.

 

 

Broke, sick and lonely, Stanford heads to court

HOUSTON, Jan 21 – No one calls him Sir Allen Stanford anymore. He is inmate number 35017-183. On Monday, the Texas financier heads to court in Houston to battle charges that he operated a US$7 billion (RM21.74 billion) Ponzi scheme from Stanford International Bank Ltd, his offshore bank on the Caribbean island of Antigua. By all accounts, his was a life of luxury, filled with private jets, yachts, mansions and the sport of cricket.
Deemed a flight risk in June 2009 by a federal judge, the 6-foot billionaire has been in jail, sporting prison-issue green and orange jumpsuits and shackles instead of the dark, tailor-made suits he once ordered in bulk.
Stanford, a native Texan who was knighted by the government of Antigua in 2006, is accused of misleading investors about certificates of deposit (CDs) issued by his offshore bank, in one of the biggest white collar fraud cases since Bernard Madoff.

kepincangan individu, sosial dan budaya..

Pemasaran mengambil kepincangan ini sebagai landasan perancangan dan pembangunan barangan dan perkhidmatan hanya kerana hendak memuaskan hati pelanggan dan dengan itu syarikat memperoleh keuntungan yang `diberkati'. Barang mereka telah berjaya di dekati oleh customer. Atau syarikat telah berjaya mendekati customer yang begitu `angkuh dan sombong'. Apa tidaknya, kesetiaan pengguna dalam banyak perkara telah dianggap extreme dan memesongkan. Dengan ini aktiviti persaingan dikalangan syarikat dapat diredakan buat seketika. `Selling' merupakan kursus pemasaran yang membincangka secara khusus dan khyusuk kepincangan dari aspek berkomunikasi antara salesmana dan potential customer. Topik topik tertentu dipilih bagi menguatkan lagi aspek berkomunikasi ini. Pada peringkat awalnya pelajaran agak lurus, bersopan, beretika, dan bertamaddun. Tetapi ada yang mengambil kesempatan kerana jelas customer hanya jelas dengan diri mereka sendiri sahaja. Maka salesman telah menjadi selling satu kerjaya yang dipenuhi dengan noda dan dosa. Siapa tidak hendak buat duit dan cepat kaya..! Sering kedengaran ungkapan begitu diucapkan. Ungkapan yang sangat menyesatkan! Ya Allah, aku bermohon supaya memilih jalan yang lurus dan tidak menyesatkan.

the onus is on who fear most...

In marketing and in making a sale, the producer fears most lest he would go bankrupt if he makes the wrong move. So he would go all out to be informative in order to convince the customer that his product is the product that can fulfill the needs and the wants in the customer's quest for thrill and satisfaction. In similar breadth, in learning, the students fear most and not the teacher or the lecturer. The lecturer only arms with the basics, and it is up to the student to fill in the gaps the basic has created. UiTM only provides classes for the lecturer to deal with the basic. In contrast, the students are being provided with everything and all the hours in order to get the basics filled. Hours in classes are insufficient. The lecturer cannot give the most. The student is the seeker. So in a teaching scenario who fear most? The teacher or the students? Who gets the benefit most? Sesungguhnya dalam percaturan kehidupan banyak yang rugi dan menanggung ketakutan adalah manusia. Tetapi ramai yang lupa. Allah Yang Maha Besar dan memliki Segala-galanya. Memohonlah dan bersyukurlah.  Sujudlah kepadaNya kerana kebaikan akan dibalas dengan kebaikan.

Jelasnya...

Tidak ada benda yang jelas..itulah hakikatnya dengan kehidupan. Jelas atau tidak adalah fungsi kedua-dua pihak, penyampai dan yang mendengar. Tetapi bayangkan, jika seseorang itu dalam hidupnya hanya menguasai 100 dimensi benda, sudah pasti bagi mereka yang hanya dapat menguasai 20 dimensi, tidak berdaya memahami penyampai yang menceritakan  dimensi dimensi yang mana pendengar sendiri tidak memilikinya. Jelasnya berlakulah `communication breakdown'. Maka berlakulah kepincangan. Sesungguhnya adalah dituntut oleh Islam supaya umatnya berilmu bagi mengatasi segala aspek kepincangan yang berlaku. Allauakbar.

socially distorted...

Culture, social, and psychological, these topics are always being discussed in all fields of human endeavor. As such it is respected more than anything else. What more it has taken us very far from what truth is. We are somewhat forgetful on where we are going. Culture and social are somewhat  misplaced in seeking the truth on our existence. Those two aspects of our concern has taught us to look down instead of looking up.Thus creates all the unnecessary gaps on almost everything. Sesungguhnya Allah adalah Pencipta yang ada di langit, di bumi dan angkasa raya. Allahuakbar.
