Berbicara tentang Ramadhan


Assalamualaikum.

Ramadhan datang kembali.

Setiap tahun coraknya adalah sama. Ada yang berpuasa, turut perintah Allah SWT. Ada yang tidak ambil peduli, puasa itu adalah perkara wajib yang sama seperti sembahyang lima waktu dan 3 perkara rukun islam yang lain. Wajib tapi tak kiralah jika tak buat. Ada yang sekadar penat berpuasa tetapi hatinya kotor dan penuh noda.

Sehari sebelum puasa, rakyat Malaysia menyambut Hari Kemerdekaan ke-51. Muda mudi dan pesta bagai tidak dapat dipisahkan. Ada yang berpesta sehingga alpa akan kedatangan Ramadhan pada 1 September. Apa guna kalau telah mabuk sebelum Ramadhan dan berpuasa pada bulan Ramadhan? Bukankah amalan kita tidak akan diterima selama 40 hari sekiranya kita meneguk air setan?

Biarlah mereka tidak berpuasa. Tiada guna berpuasa jika amalan tersebut sia-sia.

Ramadhan adalah satu bulan mulia, nikmat syurga amat ekstrem janji Tuhan. Perisian Ramadhan penuh barakah sekiranya kita bermaaf-maafan, besabar dan tidak tamak.

Namun sayangnya, ketamakan di mana-mana. Ramadhan atau tidak, siapa peduli.

Orang-orang meniaga di bazar-bazar Ramadhan dengan ketamakan mereka sendiri. Berniaga tidak jujur, untung mesti mau lebih tapi ramuannya biar tidak lengkap. Rasa tidak penting, asal boleh jual. Tamak dan membazir.

Pengusaha-pengusaha restoran dan hotel sama tamak. RM95++ untuk buffet berbuka puasa? Rasa, tidak penting. Orang lapar makan apa sahaja. Keuntungan yang diutamakan. Akhirnya juadah tidak habis. Tamak dan membazir.

Sama tamak dan membazir adalah kita, yang membeli dan melanggannya.

Nuansa politik juga sama sahaja. Ketamakan menguasai diri setiap pelusuk warganya. Pelbagai usaha, salah atau tidak, itu tidak penting. Kuasa dan pengaruh mengatasi segala-galanya. Dia mahu itu, orang itu mahu yang ini. Yang itu ada agenda tersembunyi, yang ini ada cita-cita berahi. Yang bangkit isu rakyat, isu ekonomi, isu perkauman dan tak ketinggalan isu Islam. Islam menjadi isu? Islam itu satu agama suci, satu jalan yang lurus, mengapa perlu menjadi isu?

Saya bertanya sendiri, apakah perisian Ramadhan tahun ini? Jawapannya saya tahu dan ianya amat mengecewakan.

Walllahualam.

New title


It's April.

That explains how long I have been not logged in to this blog.

I had too many things going on lately. Wedding, work, life. Can't digest them all at one go.

I think my wedding was satisfactorily done. Of course you cannot have a perfect wedding, I mean with zero percent mistake-free preparations. Overall, I am happy with how it went. The memories are to be kept in my heart always.

My gracious thanks goes to my beloved family and friends for endless support and their helping hands.

I look forward (nervously) for a new chapter in the book of my epigrammatic life. Being a wife to my dearest husband, a daughter to my parents and perhaps one day a mother to beautiful children.

Adding up the to the titles that I already have, I am now a 'Mrs'.

Starting everything new

Like I mentioned previously, I attended few interviews. Of course all were done undercover. He He He

I got one offer. It was from a 'Holding' company. Very big indeed, with few subsidiaries under it. Sadly, the offer is not of my fancy. Little pay, huge workload. Plus, I have to travel all the way to KL for it. I would consider if the pay is satisfactory. But naahh.

So, I rejected it.

I felt a bit depressed. I know I am worth more than that.

Suddenly 'somebody' called and asked me to send my CV. So I send, a week later (it was yesterday) I went for the interview and later in the evening I was informed (by that 'somebody' also) that the Manager decided to take me!

Ok. Good news. By the time this entry is being edited, I have signed the offer letter already.

In 10 days, I'll be a wife to a man. Hopefully everything is going to be fine. You never know how many butterflies inside my stomach right now.

And in 3 months time (or less), I'll be working in the new place.

Can't wait for new challenges in life...

11 days after new year

Hello 2008.


Things are getting pretty messy here.


I really need a peace of mind.


Yesterday I made a trip to a beauty centre. Did facial and massage. And felt calmer for a moment.


Today, things are as usual again. Work load is piling up and I've missed few deadlines. My mistakes. Dumb ass.


Jastina is having a kenduri cukur jambul for her new born tomorrow. I have to get her something. I didn't go visit her during confinement. Blame my busy life.


I did go to few interviews lately. Been thinking to change my career path. I know the grass is not always greener on the other side, but why stay in the desert?
