#DumbAss

i just dont know why Malaysians turned to a goat. What i meant is - the roads are filled with dumb selfish drivers, they already drove so slow and turned worst when we have thunderstorms. What is best is, they cant have public holidays too - as the roads are filled with accidents and automobile breakdowns. with spectators filling in the frame doing nothing, these curious dumb goats slowing down trying to catch hold of what is happening causing another unnecessary traffic. maybe perhaps Vin Diesel did a great job influencing all these drivers as Fast and Furious 8 is raking in cash worldwide. listen you dumb goats - your MYVI or your damn Honda Civic is not Nissan Skyline, a Lamborghini or an Impreza,

5W and 1H

as usual, the older generations will blame the younger generations. The younger generation will blame the older ones. So on and so forth. stop the blame la.  any generations that screwed themselves up can only have themselves to blame. No one else. alot of people wants to be rich yet not many want to learn how to be and do good . God and the universe doesnt set any limits of wishes and in fact i believe he does grant what people want. ( but be careful of what we wish for  ) before we ask someone from high above, we need to 1. ask ourselves - do we know ourselves? 2. what we had done? 3. what is our role? 4. re-access and objectively evaluate our contributions efforts and so-forth.  again - the perception of being RICH is not limited in the form of material . It can be in other  ( immaterial ) forms too such as 1. health 2. happiness 3. satisfaction. alot of people forget about this, either dont realize or grateful. Worst is having regrets after they

DO and ACT

Sophocles wrote in his Philoctetes (c.409 BC), "No good ever comes of LEISURE purposeless; And heaven NEVER helps the men who will NOT act. Trust in God But Tie Your Camel first. Aide-toi et Dieu t'aidera (Help yourself, and God will help you) - motto on the ship's wheel of the famous UK-built Confederate sea raider CSS Alabama, captained by Raphael Semmes during the American Civil War.

Present Moment

Image
Steve Rogers :  Big man in a suit of armour. Take that off, what are you? Tony Stark :  Genius, billionaire , playboy, philanthropist . This argument between Cap and Iron Man in Avengers made me reflect so much - who am i if i dont have a career, a profession or etc. Alot of people loves to brag about who they are, their career, kids, material achievements and anything related to it.  Let's take some time and strip everything off and lets see what you are made off and what you can do.  Steve Rogers :  Big man in a suit of armour. Take that off, what are you?  so rather than boasting it all over the world about who we are, its better for us to keep quiet and do, do and do. Keep the boasting, old tales aside. Its very annoying for me to listen to old stories.   Let us be in the Present moment.  Now. Not yesterday, not 10 years or 500 years ago  shall we.

Good Friday

Today is Good Friday. A day held in honor and remembrance of Jesus's death on the cross. It is held after Maundy Thursday, which recalls the Last Supper, and on the Friday before Easter Sunday. Crucifixion is one of the most pain ways to be killed and was reserved for the worst of the worst in Roman times. The word "excruciating" from the Latin term "cruciare," or, to crucify. According to the Gospels, Jesus was beaten, flayed and scourged prior to his crucifixion and was so weak that he could not carry his own cross.

Thor: Ragnarok

Image
It's nice when Marvel/Disney tried different approach on their trailers. After the Dark World, they did the right thing by injecting humor in the God of Thunder.  For me - Thor always get weird narrative. No more being a tight ass - sulking god. We know that Hulk's in the Quinjet - flew away ( in Avengers 2 ) - we would like to see how the green behemoth slapping alien gladiators in space. we got to know that Thor and Bruce Banner didnt join Cap or Tony in the Civil War but in Australia. Paying rent with a pumpkin and Asgardian coins cracks me up. Finally we have Led Zepp accompanying us, with Jeff Goldblum in the mix, a 80's title crawler - oh man.....you have my money Taika Waititi.

Scribbles from Pos Sinderut

Image
just got back from Pos Sinderut for the latest INSAF mission. This area gave us a new set of logistic challenges besides the usual "masalah" manusia. There no telco line as soon we got into the first village. There are 16 villages in the area and will take anyone up to 1 and half hour journey to reach here. What caught my eye are scribbling's by the asli kids between 9 - 12 - 15 year old. translation - dont be cocky, we can never know our life and death.  translation - let our dream witnessed by god.

Thank You Dad

Prologue its not easy dealing - facing the fact, experiencing losing someone whom you love and close with. Dad left us last Saturday 26th March on 12:05 am - after 3 weeks hospitalized ( for shortness of breath, relying on 24 hour oxygen treatment at home and battling a bed sore ).  The previous week after we discharged him from the hospital - I kissed his forehead countless of times, told him that i'll bring him back HOME,  holding his hand and repeatedly said to him " dad - it's ok!!!!"  My whole landscape and perception changed forever and for next 5 days i experienced is like a long dream. For 40 years, whenever i came home from somewhere, he will greet me by coming out from the room - into the living hall to smoke with me.  his favorite cigarette His small gestures,minimal talk means alot. His action thru the the years developed my acute sense of observation. You see - my dad doesn't talk a lot, he will spend his time reading the papers, occ

Babel and Hujurat

Image
Tower of Babel a narrative explain  the origin  of different languages.  A united  humanity  of the generations following the  Great Flood , speaking a single language and migrating eastward, came to the land of  Shinar . There they agreed to build a city and a tower "tall enough to reach  heaven " ; seeing this, God confounded their speech so that they could no longer understand each other and scattered them around the world. Surah Al-Hujurat ( 49:13 )  O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted. Keyword : understanding and listening.
