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?

Goodbye 2007, Hello Future

It's 31st December. The end of 2007. Tomorrow, another year begins.

Let's do a little re-cap.

My 2007 started with a big change in my life. I got engaged in March. Can't believe it until now. Still can't believe it.

At this point of time, I realised that there are changes in life which you have to decide for the future. Marriage is one of them.

2008 will start with me trying my best to prepare myself for the big day. The akad and the reception. I have to make sure everything will run smoothly. Most importantly, to get myself ready for the future, with him. Will I be able to go through the life after marriage? Will I be a good wife? Will I be a mom? Will we live happily ever after?

I have to be realistic. I know I shouldn't be worrying too much bout it. Everybody (well, at least most people) has gone through it. I think with love, patience, understanding and iman we would survive till the end. Jodoh and Ajal are in Allah's hands. I pray for it to last till the very last breath.

In 2007, few friends of mine got married. Pejun & Bagok, Qayya, Juhaini, Milla & Mohsein. Kinu, Shaz, Haslina, Ilya & Ed. Not forgotten two of my 'guy friends' (if you get what I mean..ahaha) got married also. Congratulations. One of them whom I didn't expect to get married at this age, knowing his personality. Maybe he has changed. Yeah, probably.

Two friends (Al and Jastina) delivered boys. I'm sure they are happy and excited for the new life in their small family. Same goes to my brother and sister. Although the newborns are not their first ones, they are as excited as ever.

2007 has open my eyes wider to the world around me. The meaning of violence, corruption and hatered has been unfolded.

The world is full of rubbish. It's like a huge bin. Everything rot and bad is inside it.

My sympathy to Nurin Jazlin is undefineable. Such an innocent life, taken by brutality. And so does other lives. I pray for their peace up there.

2007 is a year full of realities. The truth which has never been revealed before.

Are we ready for the future? For better or worse?

Let's raise our hands and berdoa to Allah for a better year, 2008. Amin.

Pants up, you're under arrest!

Dato' Siti Nurhaliza



She is a songbird, a celebrity, one of the famous and richest Asian singers and last but not least an icon for thousands of Malaysians who believe that success is achieved through hard work.

But one thing for sure she is definitely and can never be an icon in fashion.
Just look at her appearance at her new album Hadiah Daripada Hati, launching ceremony in KL earlier this month.

This looks...fine. If she wants to look unique sometime, the headgear wouldn't be a problem. Even though she looks like a delegation from Africa.
You think you know, but you don't have an idea.
Wait until you see these pics..
Scroll down...
down again...
again...
Tadaaaa!

Disasterous outfit, this one.

Look at the high-waist blue pants. Is that PLKN uniform pants? Or was it the same pants worn by Dr. Sheikh on his mission to ISS?

Oh oh! There's an oversized belt too! Yeay!


God! What was she thinking? As if she has landed from moon and straight up to the launching without realizing she forgot to change her pants. And she forgot to look into the mirror. Probably the changing room doesn't have a mirror. Or probably it was blackout that time.

Let's not talk on other 'visible item' on her pants, shall we?

I blame her 100% on this. Common la. She's labelled as one of Malaysia's most influenced persons. She is a Dato' for God's sake. She can tell the designer to fly kite if she didn't like the outfit. I'm sure that other designers are willing to sacrifice their time to design something fit for her to be worn during the launch.

It's her own fault. She was the one to keep mum to her designer. She could have smashed the guy on his forehead and ask him to repeat fashion school 10 times more.

What can I say. She should've been arrested by the fashion police. If E! is in Malaysia, she should be voted as no. 1 worst dressed celeb in Malaysia. This is not her first (fashion) crime though, in fact she has committed few before she became famous.

But that was BEFORE she became famous, probably she didn't have fashion or image consultant back then. When she started become famous, her demure fashion was her trademark. People started to like her appearance. Sweet, innocent looking girl with naive personality.

After she got married, her fashion sense has becoming worst. It's like a plague. Every dress is horrorly worn. Her noticeable fatness is making it worst.

There's one thing that I have to say. Siti, you are guilty as charged!
