Buah tangan,Omiyage,Gifts

Buah tangan dari saya

2011-07-25T00:10:00.007+09:00

Seperti biasa, setelah lama membiarkan halaman ini bersawang dan berhabuk, saya mengambil keputusan untuk memberikan sedikit nafas baru.Sudah tiba masanya halaman ini berubah daripada membicarakan "perkara-perkara kecil yang penting" kepada mempakejkan(wujudkah perkataan ini?) setiap perkara yang dibicarakan kepada "buah tangan" untuk para pengunjung.

Senang cerita, kalau nak buat tagline "erti hidup pada memberi" terasa saifulislam wannabe la pulak.Hehe.Beri tetap beri, tetapi dalam bentuk buah tangan la pula ya.

"Small things that matters" dalam bentuk gambar,cerita,idea, dan lain-lain.
Ada beberapa perkara yang saya risaukan dalam menghadapi transformasi baru ini

Q1(Suara hati)."Buah tangan apa yang hendak diberi?Kau hanyalah 'average joe' bukannya Superman mahupun Santa Claus.Tidor lagi baik la bro"

A1(Suara akal). Beri sahaja apa yang ada pada diri sendiri. Kalau diri tidak ada apa untuk memberi, maka ambillah peluang ini untuk 'mengadakan; sesuatu pada diri untuk diberi.Saya ada banyak gambar-gambar yang pada perkiraan saya menarik untuk dikongsi bersama.Bukan kerana gambar itu menarik, tetapi ada cerita di sebalik setiap gambar.Ya, kalau tangan tidak bisa menjadi keyboard warrior, biarkan sahaja gambar yang berbicara.Bukankah "A picture is worth more than a thousand words"?

Buah tangan dalam bentuk gambar.cerita,video,syair,puisi,malahan idea.

Q2(Suara hati):Siapa pula yang mahu "ambil" buah tangan ini?Orang tak minta, kau terhegeh-hegeh nak kasi!Sudahlah weey"

A2(Suara akal).Beri bila diminta, sebelum diminta dan walaupun tak diminta.Lagipon pada konsepnya orang ramai memang suka benda atau perkara yang percuma.Tiada siapa yang rugi.

Begitulah secebis perbualan antara hati dan akal.

Bagaimana agaknya perasaan seekor serangga kecil di di tengah-tengah padang rumput sebegini.

Bertarung dengan nafsu dan serangan psikologi syaitan.

2010-06-26T01:23:00.005+09:00

Jangan berhenti daripada bertarung dengan nafsu.Kelak kita akan dikuasanyai.Maka jadilah kita zombie pak turut nafsu.Nafsu suruh sambung tido time subuh,kita pon ikut.Nafsu nak makan macam-macam walaupun sudah sedia sakit macam-macam.Kita pon angguk.

Nafsu tak terkawal=habit=addiction.Baik nafsu tidur waktu subuh,makan walaupun kenyang,melewatkan solat,takpon nafsu malas,suka buat kerja 'ala-kadar','asal-boleh'.Semua perangai buruk ini alah bisa tegal biasa,BAHAYA!

Apakah yang menghalang kita daripada bertaubat?

Adakah kita ini golongan yang addicted dengan nafsu yang memberi wajah kepada perangai buruk kita?Kalau ya,sudahkah kita mengambil langkah membebaskan diri kita daripada addiction ini?

"Aku belum bersedia"

"Siapalah aku nak bertaubat"

Itulah alasan-alasan yang kita berikan untuk menjustifikasikan diri yang masih lagi dalam keadaan dibelenggu nafsu.

Jangan berputus asa!Lupakah kita akan kasih sayang Allah swt yang Maha LUAS itu?

"Kau tak tau ,dosa aku banyak gila!Rogol?Ragut?Rompak?Semuanya aku pernah buat.Mustahil Allah nak ampunkan aku,"bentak sang pendosa.

Kalau kita pernah pecahkan pasu kesayangan mak sewaktu kecil,mak kita tentu maafkan.Malahan kalau anak yang keluar pusat serenti pon,mak ayah la yang paling setia menunggu.Menerima kembali anaknya sang sampah masyarakat,penconteng arang di muka.Begitulah secebis sifat Rahim Allah yang Allah campakkan pada hati manusia bernama ayah dan ibu.

Apatah lagi sifat Allah yang Maha Rahim itu?APAKAH KELUASAN KASIH SAYANG ALLAH YANG TIDAK TERHAD ITU TAK MAMPU UNTUK AMPUNKAN KITA?

Ya,Apakah yang menghalang kita daripada bertaubat?

Syaitan suka menyerang secara psikologi.

Saya percaya,pernah terdetik dalam hati kita keinginan untuk bertaubat.Tapi 'bisikan/mainan psikologi syaitan dan nafsu' suka kalau kita memainkan "the victim role".

"Aku jadi perompak kerana mak ayah.Aku lah mangsa keadaan"
kata perompak.Benarkah begitu?Ataupun sebenarnya hatinya berkata...

"Tetapi pada hakikatnya aku suka dengan watak mangsa keadaan,mendapat SIMPATI DAN PERHATIAN RAMAI.Maka aku akan terus menerus memainkan watak ini.Watak mangsa keadaan yang teraniaya sehingga mustahil untuk diampunkan!"

Ya,barangkali itulah yang dirasakan/difikirkan Iblis ketika dia kurang ajar dengan Allah SWT, enggan sujud pada Adam A.S

"Aku kurang ajar sebab Adam!Ya,kalau bukan sebab mamat tu tak diciptakan,pastilah aku tak kurang ajar dengan Allah,dan tak menerima nasib kekal di neraka forever.Yaa.Akulah mangsa keadaan!!"

Jujur dengan diri sendiri itu perlu.Apabila sudah melakukan kesalahan dan dosa jadilah seperti Nabi Allah Adam A.S.

Adam A.S mengaku kesalahannya.
Adam A.S menangisi kesalahannya(Ya jangan malu untuk menangisi dosa-dosa kita?Tahan tangisan depan Allah itu bukan macho namanya,itu namanya SOMBONG!)
Adam A.S mengetahui akan keluasan kasih sayang dan keampunan Allah.

Dan point yang paling penting,Adam A.S TIDAK PERNAH PUTUS ASA.Maka dirakamkan kata-kata Adam A.S yang masyhur,buat tatapan ummat sepanjang zaman.

"Wahai Tuhan kami! Kami telah menganiaya diri kami sendiri dan telah melanggar perintah-Mu karena terkena bujukan Iblis.Ampunilah dosa kami karena nescaya kami akan tergolong orang-orang yang rugi bila Engkau tidak mengampuni dan mengasihi kami." Al-Aaraf,23."

Adam A.S merasakan dia yang telah menganiayai dirinya sendiri.

Yang menyalahkan pihak lain,menunding jari bukanlah Adam A.S,tapi Iblis laknatullah.
Yang sombong dengan Allah bukan Adam A.S,tapi Iblis laknatullah.
Yang simpan dendam bukan sahaja 7 keturunan,tapi sampai kiamat bukanlah Adam tapi Iblis laknatullah.

Bebaskan mindset daripada the victim role dan bebaskan diri kita semua dari addicted kepada nafsu!

Engineering ethics:Quality control and dateline

2009-05-08T08:59:00.006+09:00

Waiters/Servers:"The homemade burgers are selling great!People outside want more burgers.And they want it NOW"

Cook:"That`s not possible.My hands are full,and there are no more buns!!What do we do boss?"

Boss: "Just use normal bread to replace the buns.We can`t afford to lose our customers.They`ll probably wont notice the different."

The boss, in order to protect time limits and to get the job done,chose to lower the standard of the restaurant`s most famous homemade burgers.

But is this ethical?

I believe that anyone is capable of doing work with the highest of quality standard if properly trained.Unfortunately,workplace realities shows that we are bound by time limits,stress ,bureaucracies and policies problems which piles up push us into making the difficult decision.

Question:The situation demands you to produce a result outside of your capabilities.Do you

1.Lower the standards,achieve a much poorer result to meet datelines?
2.Ignore the datelines and such limitations ,but never lower your standards and produce high quality results?

I believe most reader would agree that the latter choice is preferable and is the right thing to do.Unfortunately choosing no 2 also means that you've decide to go against management's wish.

A difficult choice.It`s not easy to achieve a win-win situation.

I`m now in Dublin,Ireland spending time with families,taking time off from work to
revalue and shifting paradigm.

I`ve been wanting to continue writing about engineering ethics.However,due to the
seriousness the problem has evolved in these past few months after first article was written,I`ve decided to postpone it.

There is a need to address the ethical problems professionally and psychologically properly. May Allah grant me the strength to finish my work.

Engineering ethics-part 1

2008-12-23T23:42:00.006+09:00

Boring as it seems,I once attended two classes on Engineering Ethics.Without the credit,you cannot graduate,and attendance is a most.Well ALMOST a must I guess since I thrice skipped the class and still passed.The class was filled with boring lectures save for a few interesting case studies.Cases like Mitsubishi`s Recall, The O-Ring accident which lead to explosion of NASA`s Challenger 1 and many more not only created public outcry for corporate accountability but also raises the debate on how engineering ethics collides with corporate needs.

Life as an `Engineer`

It has been almost two years now since I started working,entering the life of an engineer.To tell you the truth,I`m no rocket scientist and my work it`s not that hard ,not anywhere cool like the ones you can boast at parties and your friends would go `OOooooooooO..thats awesome man!`.To even call myself `engineer` would be an exagerration.But work,as like other typical japanese companies, never ends and consumes so much of your energy that by the end of the day,you will be another lifeless salarymen.(This actually answered my curiosity to why japanese salarymen tends to doze off in `densha`)

Ethics and moral values
Two years and I`m beginning to feel that I`ve warmed up a bit(yeah I know..two years??!OSOI!)And I`m also beginning to witness with my own eyes the dishonesty in the act of some engineers.At times like this,I`m beginning to understand the depth of moral values that is detereorating in our commercial world.Such as the common sense of moral values and it`s core principals are needed to be repackaged and introduced as`Engineering Ethics`.

Is it disturbing ?Very.For even the smallest act of dishonesty,is something to worry about .Because if nothing is being done,it will only lead to more lies and covering up.The smallest sin would be the starting point of the disaster until it reaches the point of no return,such as resulting in the death of 7 NASA Challenger 1 crew members.

The causes?
Through my humble observation,these are few of the reasons believed to caused dishonesty among us.

1.Corporate and management decisons
In some cases, deals with customers has already been confirmed even before the project is started .Sometimes without the knowledge of the head engineer which leads to impossible datelines.

2.Poor project scheduling and delegation of responsibility.
Projects that takes 5 months to complete are sometimes asked to be completed in 3 months and `NO` is not an answer.Some projects have too few engineers in charge.

"Air yang tenang,jangan disangka tiada buaya"~pepatah Melayu

"Don songko klior woto no boyo"~pepatah Jawa??

(gambar di tasik Nikko)

Kisah kawan yang terlebih baik
Penglibatan aku dalam dunia bahasa sebenarnya berlaku secara `terpaksa`,bagaikan tetamu yang tak diundang.Ini semua gara-gara kenakalan kawan sedarjah yang telah`mengenakan` aku.

"Pada perhimpunan isnin minggu hadapan,akan diadakan sesi bercerita dalam Bahasa Malaysia.Ada sesiapa yang nak tawarkan diri untuk jadi wakil kelas ??",begitulah pertanyaan guru kelas 3 kuning.

Kelas sepi seketika.Masing-masing memandang wajah rakan di sekeliling,mengharapkan akan adanya `mamat` yang sanggup menawarkan diri,sekaligus melepaskan kami yang lain daripada dipilih secara paksa oleh cikgu,ataupun terpaksa-rela.(Nampaknya krisis keyakinan diri ,lebih-lebih lagi dalam menghadapi khalayak umum masih lagi menebal di dalam jiwa kanak-kanak 9 tahun ketika itu.Taktik senyap sambil menunggu keluarnya `kambing hitam`/scapegoat adalah satu kebiasaan.Malahan amalan itu masih diteruskan sehingga ke hari ini.)Sedang aku mengelamun kosong,tiba-tiba rakan semeja ,Alif tak semena-mena menjadi manusia terlebih baik,tolong angkatkan tangan aku!

"Saya cikgu,,saya!!",bersungguh-sungguh pula kawan aku itu menarik perhatian guru ketika itu.Ewah,di bibir mengatakan `saya`,tapi yang diangkatnya tangan `aku`!Nak kena sekeh mamat nih.

Mencari tema
Maka al-kisah,dengan tanpa disangka-sangka, aku terpaksa mencari sebuah cerita untuk disampaikan pada perhimpunan berikutnya.Bermulalah karier pertama sebagai tukang penglipur lara.Aku punggah kembali edisi lama majalah KUNTUM dan DBP sebagai `kitab-rujukan`,warisan turun-temurun dari abang dan kakak,mencari kisah yang sesuai.Tidak sukar mencari tema yang bersesuaian,kerana asas sekolah rendah ketika itu adalah,`the moral of this story is......`.Yang pening kepala adalah mencari jalan cerita yang tidak akan meyebabkan pendengarnya tidur dek kebosanan.Ya,aku amat menitik beratkan jalan cerita yang menarik.Mungkin kerana kesukaan ku terhadap karya lucu Allahyarham P-Ramlee ,maka kisah yang ada unsur humor menjadi pilihan.

Setelah tema dipilih(Malang sekali aku tidak ingat kisahnya),perkara yang membingungkan aku ialah bagaimana pula hendak aku sampaikan?Maka aku teliti dialog yang ada dan cuba membuat-buat gaya yang bersesuaian agar pendengar tidak `khusyuk` seperti khutbah jumaat .Ya,aku sangat `cuak` untuk naik ke `podium` buat kali pertamanya.

Pengajaran?(Moral of this story...)
Kadang-kadang dalam mencuba sesuatu yang baru ,kita memerlukan kekuatan dan sokongan dari luar.Dalam kes ini,Alif telah menjadi `external trigger`,meletakkan aku dalam situasi yang sangat asing,suatu dunia yang tidak pernah aku jejakkan kaki.Alif telah mencampakkan aku keluar dari kepompong harian lantas berada di luar zon selesa.Memaksa untuk berusaha lebih daripada biasa.

Tapi aku bersyukur,kerana sebenarnya tanpa peristiwa itu,aku takkan dapat mengalami pelbagai `peristiwa` susulan .Atas kenakalan rakan,aku terjumpa dengan minat ,bertemu dengan rakan-rakan baru,dan ketakutan menaiki pentas sudah sedikit berkurangan.

Kita memerlukan shigeki,trigger,kejutan dalam kehidupan untuk mengejutkan diri yang sering terlena dan alpa.

The Brick Wall

What is the meaning of being a muslim,from the aqidah point of view.

2008-09-18T23:45:00.003+09:00

SC2008 revisited part 2-
Is your Islam that you are practising based on choice or inheritance?

It is your choice.But please bear in mind that there is no future of survival in accepting
Islam just as part of inheritance from our ancestors.We need to re open the door of
understanding Islam.

Have we ever questioned our faith?Or are we just following the do`s and dont`s just because we have been told so.How far can we prove not to others,but to ourselves the understanding of our own faith?Does this methode really work ?

How much difference are we from the idol worshippers who says
`We are only doing what our ancestors and the people before them had done`

Provoke yourself and questions.Questions leads to
the act of asking.The act of asking will lead to not just obey what we have been told.
Asking will trigger the most important element in faith.THINKING

Benarkah Pakatan Rakyat Sudah Bersedia?

2008-09-06T01:40:00.004+09:00

16 September 2008
Menjelangnya 16 September 2008,Saudara Anwar Ibrahim sudahpun bersedia.Begitu juga dengan parti PAS dan DAP.Dan rakyat yang menyokong pakatan rakyat itupon beria-ria,tidak sabar untuk melihat samada akan berlakunya perubahan menjelang fajar 16 September ini.

Tapi saya belum cukup yakin,bahawa Pakatan Rakyat sudah bersedia.

Bersedia untuk apa?Untuk memerintah?Untuk membentangkan belanjawan dan agenda Malaysia baru?Untuk menangani isu harga minyak?Rasuah?Bukan itu yang saya risaukan!Saya tidak risaukan perubahan kerajaan.Yang saya bimbangkan adalah adakah rakyat telahpon bersedia?

Pakatan Rakyat bukanlah milik parti politik semata-mata.
Mari kita melihat dari dimensi yang berbeza.Sesungguhnya Pakatan Rakyat itu bukanlah terdiri dari PKR DAP PAS semata-mata.Tidakkah rakyat yang menyokong itu juga turut harus ditakrifkan sebahagian dari pakatan ini?

Apakah generasi reformasi ini benar-benar telah bersedia?Secara jujur saya masih sangsi dengan kemampuan keseluruhan generasi reformasi.Bukan intelektual dan pimpinan muda yang saya maksudkan.Maksud saya adalah penyokong biasa !!

Pepatah Inggeris mengatakan `Action speaks louder than words`.

Penyokong PKR begini

Penyokong BN?Sudah lama diketahui!

Pemimpin yang kuat,memerlukan penyokong dan pengikut yang hebat.

Lihat sahaja bagaimana Rasullulah saw dan para sahabat.Singkap kembali sejarah Sultan Mehmet Al-Fatih dan tentera-tenteranya.Mereka adalah bak kata ustaz Hasrizal `Golongan Manusia Biasa Yang Luar Biasa`!

Actions speaks louder ,and silence speaks more than a thousand words.

Tidak dapatkah kita membezakan hujah berapi-api seorang pakcik di warung kopi dengan si alim yang sikit bicara tetapi dalam maknanya?Intelektual kita diukur bukan sekadar dengan ucapan kita,tapi melalui perbuatan kita.

Talk the walk and walk the talk.

Ke mana agaknya hala tuju generasi reformasi ini?

Nearly 3 weeks has passed since I attended the historical summer camp program in ibaraki. With each passing day ,I promised myself that I will eventually write something about.Finally after so much procrastinating,let me share with you what I`ve learned ,may it be useful in you life journey as it has been in mine for the past 3 weeks.

"Patience is the ability to push the pause button in times of anger,so that we can choose the best possible action based on logic.This is call being proactive.

But if we choose to respond immediately ,our REACTION is based on emotions,clouding the rational thinking leading to destructive results."

Sabar=PUSH THE PAUSE BUTTON!!!<<

Of Zeal

2008-08-10T00:43:00.003+09:00

What is "zeal"?

Main Entry:zeal
Pronunciation:\ˈzēl\
Function:noun
Etymology:Middle English zele, from Late Latin zelus, from Greek zēlos
Date:14th century

: eagerness and ardent interest in pursuit of something

I was walking up the hills in Otsuka,heading towards the masjid for the Isya prayers eventhough it is already late.Thats when I saw a typical pakistani looking guy who I was`t sure a muslim or not searching for directions.

I met him again at the masjid which confirmed me he was a muslim.He introduces himself as "Alam",coming from Pakistan and pursuing his PHD in Japan.After a warm chit chat over dinner,I asked him;

"Where exactly in Pakistan were you from?",

"I am from Peshawar,you know Peshawar?",he answered.

"Yeah,I know Peshawar,isnt that close to Afghanistan?",Khalid Hosseini`s novels was obviously my only source of knowledge about Afghan.

Suddenly ,he asked something suprising.

"What do you think of Afghanistan?of Afghanistan people?"

Waaaaaait a minute.Here was a verry nice looking chap.I had least doubt he`ll produce any MK-47 from the black bag he carries around.And yes,my knowledge of Afghan is limited to the media and internet which tends to bias,and misleading at times.

"I don`t really know.I only know what I know from the media which can be untruthful yeah?",to which Alam nodded.

"Afghan people,are simple people.Verrry simple people."and so Alam started to tell me how Afghan people really are.

"Afghan people are hospitalibity.When you become our guest,we will take care of you.We will protect you.We will provide food,shelter,place to stay."

"I guess Afghanistan people are very high spirit eh?How they can stand against the mighty Soviet Union." I mentioned.

To which Alam replied proudly.
"Oh yes,Afghan people ,when they do something,they do it with zeal".

Zeal.Something to ponder upon

If only I had a bazooka with me.Hehe.Like a mujahideen in the Afghan mountains eh?

Antara dua golongan

2008-07-06T19:45:00.002+09:00

Ya,sememangnya saya kurang rajin untuk meng"update" kan blog ini.Hanya apabila saya teruja.

Dan pada hari ini saya telah pon teruja.Bermula dengan apa yang dikatakan oleh teman saya di sebuah laman blog.

Dan inilah jawapan saya kepadanya.

#Pandangan 1

Yang kasi pendapat itu gagal.Gagal dalam memberikan jawapan yang jelas dan tepat.Jawapan
“Kita mesti kembali kepada agama.” disusuli pula dengan “Ini semua satu cubaan daripada Allah.
merupakan ayat-ayat yang biasa kita dengar dalam khutbah jumaat yang kadangkala melenakan.

Kembali bagaimana kepada agama itu?Cubaan Allah ini, “approach” yang bagaimana harus kita ambil?Kegagalan menjawab soalan-soalan ini dengan lebih tepat menyebabkan ungkapan “kembali kepada agama “ seakan-akan retorik kosong semata mata.

#Pandangan 2

Namun begitu ,tidak cukup kita berhenti di sini dan terus menghukum pemberi pendapat itu.
Cuba kita menjadi jelas di sini.Persoalan saya kepada saudara dan juga diri saya sendiri ialah;

Tidakkah berjimat dalam perbelanjaan itu nilai agama?Berlaku adil dalam pembahagian ekonomi,
memelihara hak bukan islam dan kelebihan mukmin yang berharta itupon sebahagian daripada agama.

Adakah agama itu sekadar ritual dalam bentuk bacaan yassin di senja khamis?Solat hajat SPM?
Bacaan doa di kenduri kendara?

Adakah tafsiran agama itu menjadi tidak lebih daripada upacara dan terhad kepada masa dan acara tertentu sahaja?

Kita perlu berfikir dengan lebih jauh lagi,melangkau stereotaip biasa.Kemalasan untuk berfikir menyebabkan agama itu hanya hadir di masjid, air penawar hati dan milik golongan tertentu.Stereotaip yang tentunya sudah basi.

Bukankah agama itu merupakan sistem kehidupan,yang “plays an important role in every single
action of ours? A source of reference,a standard guideline in every single decisions
we make everyday?

#Pandangan saya

Saya melihat kenaikan harga barang ini sebagai cabaran kepada kebijakan “management skills” kita dalam menguruskan aset,liabiliti dan ekonomi sehari-harian.Ya,kebijakan dalam menguruskan perkara seharian ini juga adalah tuntutan agama!Setiap cebis harta saya dan saudara pasti akan disoal,dan akan dipertanggungjawabkan.

Amanah.Kita memikul amanah yang berat.Kita bertanggungjawab terhadap Tuhan.Dan Tuhan juga memerintahkan kita bertanggungjawab terhadap manusia,terhadap alam sekitar(pencemaran alam itu ditentang agama)mahupun spesies haiwan.Kerana apa?Kerana kita dihantar sebagai khalifah.Dan bukanlah karakter khalifah itu menyakitkan hatta semut sekalipon!

#Kesimpulan versi pendek.

Khutbah Wida Rasullulah s.a.w
“Sesungguhnya aku tinggalkan kepada kamu dua perkara,yang sekiranya kamu berpegang teguh dan mengikuti kedua-duanya ,nescaya kamu tidak akan tersesat selama-lamanya.Itulah Al-Quran dan Sunnahku. “

Maka ungkapan “Kita mesti kembali kepada agama” itu bukanlah retorik kosong semata-mata,
Kesilapannya adalah kegagalan untuk berfikir dan “approach” secara lebih terperinci.

Kesilapannya adalah dalam menafsirkan agama yang hanyalah dalam hubungan individu dengan Tuhan semata-mata,sedangkan Tuhan telah menjelaskan tanggungjawab dan hak dalam hubungan sesama manusia.

-Sekian dari saya yang banyak kesilapan-

The Internet+PC Machine ?

2008-06-01T03:47:00.003+09:00

I remember reading that in 70's and 80's ,when desktops and personal computer was being released,somebody commented that NOBODY at all needs a pc in their house,opposing Bill Gates ideas that someday everyone will have walking pc with them.Fast forward 20-30years later,the latter guy became the richest man in the world.

Right now , my personal inventories consists of this guy

And also this guy
And also

And softbank has unleashed the latest internet machine;
which is this
What I need,or everyone need is the combination of all!!!

Ipod(music+videos+photos;multimedia)+Phone+Camera+Internet,PC like function

and yes,Bill gates is right!Everyone needs a pocket PC!!

Of focusing and thinking outside of the box

2008-06-01T03:09:00.002+09:00

To be able to think or see clearly,we need to focus.

But sometimes we lose focus,or we are focusing on something totally different resulting in us not seeing the object that we intended to see.Worst is when you actually believe the object you are looking at is the one you are trying to find.

So how does one fix this?Remembering my early physic classes nearly 10 years ago(the ONLY time I managed to get more marks than the super genius of the school,due to luck maybe bcos he was bz at the time?) in order to change the point of focus ,of course we need to change the length of S1.Unless we can change the properties of f1 and f2 which I understand depends on the material characteristic's of the lens itself?

To think outside of the box,you need to step further behind,to understand the matter more ,take a few more steps forward.

Meanwhile,take a look at this

http://blueballfixed.ytmnd.com/

At first I thought it was purely random.After a few moments adjusting my point of focus(by try looking at the whole picture,taking a step behind and think outside the box) I notice the movements are synchronised patterns.

Copy

2008-05-29T23:51:00.003+09:00

I always find myself in a strange world whenever my friends talked about their kindergarten life; as I never went to any .My mom implemented this policy starting from my elder brother.Why?To this day,it baffles me.Maybe mom thought I too was a genius. Now imagine how the media will react to a boy who reads and do math without having any pre education.

Unfortunately,or fortunately (depends on how you see it.I prefer the latter) I was no Adi Putra substance.

It does feel rather lonely though going to primary school without knowing how to read.As I took my place on the wooden chair in 1 Hijau,the teacher pointed to her name tag and asked the class to tell her what her name is.Now,if she would asked me the same question today,I would've called the ministry of education to remove a teacher who cant answer that basic of a question!HAR HAR HAR.

Anyway,I knew it was a name tag that she was pointing to.But it was the drawings on the name tag that baffled me,there symbols have no resemblence to any real life item.If it does like the egyptians ancient walls of pyramids have,then maybe MAYBE i could have spell out her name!

And so I sat silently listening to my classmates saying out loud "E-N-D-O-N,Nama cikgu,cikgu ENDON".With me not understanding anything written in front,I decided to COPY every single word from the blackboard.

And thats how I started to learn.I learn by copying.

The 'mim' and 'jim' were my favourite arabic letters as I trace them down on my notebook pages with my yellow 2B pencil.'Zai' and 'Nun' were difficult because no matter how many times I trace them down over and over again,the letters would not look as beautiful as 'mim' and 'jim'.

Thats how I started to learn about practising.Copying and practising.

Practise makes perfect.

A quiet sunday evening

2008-05-25T23:08:00.003+09:00

Tonight I decided to done my `baju melayu`,have tea and read a book with sounds of zikr
humming from the radio.

A good tea and a good book;such simple things and yet having time to enjoy these elements and
not having time to it reflects life as it is eh?

No matter how much money you make,or how famous you are,if you are too busy managing your life,you wouldn`t be able to enjoy a cup of life`s tea.You are just too busy trying to make it sweeter ,or finding good porcelain to hold it .

How unluckly!

Nikma' and Barakah

Afterwards I went to dry my clothes at the laundry and look up at stars twinkling faithfully ,something I used to do when I was a child in kampung.

Bila dah mula update blog...

2008-05-07T23:23:00.003+09:00

Bila dah mula update blog...ni la jadinya.ketagih 2 3 hari pastu kaput!

Mari bercerita tentang malam.

Aku suka malam.Tak bermakna aku benci dengan siang,tapi kesukaan aku terhadap malam lain dari siang.

Siang ceria dan meriah,malam sepi dan tenang.
Siang banyak berkata-kata.malam diam seribu bahasa.
Jika siang penuh kudrat,malam menyingkap yg tersirat.
Jika ada manusia angkuh di sebalik terangnya siang,
Kegelapan malam menyelubungkan mereka dengan ketakutan.

Kecik-kecik dulu aku ada satu kesukaan yang pelik.Kadang-kadang aku suka tido awal dalam pukul 8.Tengah malam pukul 3 pasti aku akan terjaga dan bermula lah aktiviti malam .Kadang2-kadang aku pusing-pusing keliling rumah(dalam rumah aa..tak brani kuar ).Kadang2 aku layan tv.Kadang-kadang aku baca buku cerita sambil baring di atas sofa.Kadang2 aku suka tengok pemandangan malam kl dari beranda Bila anjing menyalak ataupon ada bunyi yang pelik,aku duduk diam-diam.Aku suka jaga di kala orang lain sedang nyenyak tidur..dan aku juga suka tidur di kala orang lain berjaga!

keheningan malam bertambah kalau pasang radio dengan alunan ayat-ayat suci Al-Quran.
Malam otak aku paling aktif .Pasal tu kot dulu time study paling best kol 10 sampai kol 2.

Tapi sekarang aku jarang habiskan masa dengan malam.Rindu la pulak pada malam.

Agak-agak prestasi keje aku meningkat ke jika aku amek shift malam?

Serabut tengok gelagat manusia di siang hari yang sebok mencari titik perbezaan sedangkan titik persamaan itu lebih banyak faedahnya.

Malam yang tersimpan seribu satu makna.

Newton`s law of motion

2008-05-06T23:39:00.005+09:00

Newton`s law of motion stated that

First law:

A body acted on by no net force moves with constant velocity(which may be zero) and zero acceleration

or

An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

This law is often called
"the law of inertia".

What does this mean?

This means that there is a natural tendency of objects to keep on doing what they're doing. All objects resist changes in their state of motion. In the absence of an unbalanced force, an object in motion will maintain this state of motion.

I`m not really good at pyhsics,but I can`t stop being fascinated by them.

Do you find yourselves sometimes struggling to start something new,like a new hobby,or get a new haircut,or a even a new job?What is so difficult with starting something new?Is there something wrong with us?What is keeping us from making that
`jump`?

Do you feel like you know the answer?I think I know what my answer is.

It is because of `CHANGE`.Whenever there is a move for change,or a subject is changing,a force resisting the change will exist.Thus,whenever we want to change from one level to another,a resisting force will be derived in the opposite direction of change.

Let say you want to learn spanish.Your friends and families might object(though it is such a rare case). A great wall has already stand in your way before you even start sitting in class.

A body acted on by no net force

You are the body.And the will to learn is a force.However, due to resistance force
the TOTAL force equals zero=no net force.Thus nothing will change,you will be the same.

If you manage to produce the will to learn as a force much greater,than your body will move towards according to the apllied force.

Unfortunately,the resisting force doesnt cease to exist(die hard kind la ) but in fact will continue to exist an act as continous friction.

How will this friction effects you as the body?Will you stop learning spanish?The answer to that questions lies in Newtons`s next Second law of motion.

The Sampling Theorem?

If you want to take a sample of a signal,the sampling frequency must be twice or bigger
than the original signal frequency.

Of an insightful weekend

2008-03-02T23:05:00.003+09:00

I was looking forward to going off early from work on Friday.But somebody has to drop the bomb ,announcing last minute that they need about 20 products by 17th of March.And this was after I`ve just finished ordered for 5.So there was me,working untill 11.30 pm,taking the last train back home.

Lesson one: Expect the unexpected
Lesson two:ALWAYS expect the unexpected.

I went home with my this-april-junior-to be japanese.His name is Komagome and he`s quite a good chap,sporting and yet still holds respect for seniors.He has been working part time at the company since October;if my memory serves me right.
Maybe he was expecting a malaysian cuisine from me.But those energy of cooking went down the drain with all the purchasing orders and what he got in the end was instant spaghetti.pasta ,tomato sauce ,mushrooms peaman and some boiled eggs defined our `dinner` that night.Sorry mate,maybe next time ya!Blame it on the boss will you.

So Komagome was my guest ,and having guest is good as it lits up your house .The companions of the prophet s.a.w really put a point of welcoming guest up to the point that one sahabah even went out looking for guest when nobody came to his up for three consecutive days.

Lesson three:Welcome your guest,and welcome them to your house.

I let him play on my dusty x-box ,internet and the tv.I think I`ve long retired from console games along with my graduation.Wow.Otonanye sayeeeee.hehehe

Then as it was nearing time to sleep,and as we have to wake up for a futsal match the next day (which was the reason why komagome wants to come over in the first place) I told him I wanted to pray,and he doesnt need to pay any attention nor to have to do anything.Just basically do whatever you are doing.

So I prayed and took the oppurtinity of reading the Quran for a while.He asked me does it always take that long time to pray?I answered no,sometimes shorter,sometimes longer.Then he asked what kind of book I read and if there is any in nihongo.I said
I don`t have the translation copy of the Quran in nihongo but I do have some Nihongo booklets on Islam .I gave it to him.

At this point, I like you, my reader would think if you are in my place,that this is an oppurtunity of to put forward my faith ,believe and ideology down his throat,moreover for him being my kohai..MUAHAHAHA.

But I realize that I`m not the very best of muslim,even in todays standard let alone comparing myself to the companions of the prophet s.a.w!I have no right to in any way
`force ` my religion on him or anyone.Nor do I want to even if I stand in lines as the companions.

Instead I ask him how much did he really know about Islam,Christianity,Budha ,Hindu or any religion in the world.He said that he know Islam has lots of restrictions,and Hindu cannot eat beef.After listening to his story,I asked him if what he learned was only about the do`s and don`ts instead of their fundamental believes.He said yes.

And he started asking me questions.On what are the fundamental believes of Islam,when does a girl can take of her hijab.
I on the other hand wanted to know,does japanese people believe in God,or are they really atheist..or if they just don`t think much of the issue of the Creator and religion?
His answer was that Japanese people believe and turn to God only when they are facing difficulties and such.Some would come for horse racing bets they made,some with hope of passing university entrance examinations.Each with their own hopes dreams or burden to be lighten off.

So the next day Komagome left my room ,taking home with him the booklets in Japanese.He said he would study them.I would be happy even if he considers to think about it.

What I`ve done ,was to only show you the door and open it for you to see.
It is up to you to decide whether to walk through it or not.

Al Baqarah ayat 164

Sesungguhnya pada kejadian langit dan bumi; dan (pada) pertukaran malam dan siang; dan (pada) kapal-kapal yang belayar di laut dengan membawa benda-benda yang bermanfaat kepada manusia; demikian juga (pada) air hujan yang Allah turunkan dari langit lalu Allah hidupkan dengannya tumbuh-tumbuhan di bumi sesudah matinya, serta Ia biakkan padanya dari berbagai-bagai jenis binatang; demikian juga (pada) peredaran angin dan awan yang tunduk (kepada kuasa Allah) terapung-apung di antara langit dengan bumi; sesungguhnya (pada semuanya itu) ada tanda-tanda (yang membuktikan keesaan Allah kekuasaanNya, kebijaksanaanNya, dan keluasan rahmatNya) bagi kaum yang (mahu) menggunakan akal fikiran.

Socrates once said something like this

"I know only one thing,
and that is I know nothing"

and yet some people still like to say "I know better than you".

knowledge is power.

The love of books

2008-01-16T09:10:00.000+09:00

Currently reading "A thousand splendid suns" by Khalid Hosseini.

Books can be lucrative in many ways,the feel of a new paperback,the smell
of old or new pages even the cute fonts used.

Wait a minute.Did I just say "cute"?

Anyway,when I read an interesting book,it feels as if the book is "speaking" to me,a story teller,something that just wont sit still.A book makes me think,discuss,debate,questions about life,principles and methods.A couple of books helped me find the answer,solution to questions that they themselves asked in the first place.

What you read can sometimes be the base of your life's principles.Reading inspires me to write.Reading helps me vocabulary and grammartically well both in bahasa melayu or english.Thus the best indicator to why I dont write or cant write well is easy enough;the lack of reading.

As a child I have enjoyed entertaining books such as the Hardy Boys,Famous Fives and of course,anything from Enid Blytons.Those were the times when Harry Potter was yet to be born and Voldermort ruled the wizard world.MUAHAHAHAHA.

As I grew up(up?sideways is much more appropriate dont u think?),I learnt to appreciate critical thinkings,humanity issues.A friend introduced me to John Grisham and "A Malaysian Journey" by Rehman Rashid.

Saga Artakusiad by Ahmad Patria Abdullah and Imam Al-Ghazali's Ihya ulumiddin became the light in showing me what integrity and honour means.I enjoy and understand more of Al-Quran since I've started working and jumped into real world.(shakai ni dete hajimete)

How do books inspires you?

Oh,btw Happy Chinese New Year,Gong Xi Fa Chai to all my friends especially lee chyi,endoru koek.

Keheningan malam

2007-10-04T01:10:00.000+09:00

Di dalam keheningan malam ini aku mencari ketenangan.

Tenang dari hiruk pikuk kota

Sepi yang mencengkam alam semesta

Cahaya kecil di dalam sunyi

Bebaslah jiwa bagi yang mencari!

-50 tahun yang apakah?

2007-09-08T23:03:00.001+09:00

-50 tahun yang apakah?
(50 years of what?)-

I've decided to jump in the boat and write about Malaysia's 50 years of Independence.I've also decided
to be fashionably late unlike other inspired ,patriotic malaysian ,some who finished their articles even a month
before the eve of 30th august.Oh well,kalau raya boleh sebulan,takkan merdeka tak leh buat sebulan jugak?

Did you notice that this is my second entry in one day?Haha.Selagi ada idea apa salahnye?

-50 tahun merdeka-
Pagi 31 ogos 2007 menyaksikan bagaimana kerajaan pimpinan Abdullah Badawi menghabiskan RM69 juta.Dari kempen
kibarkan bendera ,konsert ,pertunjukan bunga api di putra jaya ,laungan 'merdeka' di dataran merdeka hinggalah
perarakan .Hebat dan mengagumkan.Tidak hairan lah apabila ucapan tahniah dari delegasi asing datang mencurah-curah.

Namun embun dedaun di pagi itu sendiri mengerti, bahawa kosmetik RM69juta itu tidak akan mampu
menyembunyikan wajah sebenar Malaysia hari ini.Wajah yang jika dikenakan susuk pon tak mampu menghalang kohodohannya

Berterus teranglah,Malaysia hari ini dibelenggu 1001 masalah.Siapa yang tak tahu akan masalah ketegangan kaum yang melanda?
Siapakah yang masih berani untuk keluar malam tanpa risau diganggu mat rempit?Sistem perundangan dan penguatkuasaan yang
bermimpi ngerikan rasuah?

Adakah saya hanya tahu bersikap negatif dan tak mampu( atau mampu tapi sebenarnya tak mahu?) berbuat sesuatu?Sengaja saya
ungkit krisis yang anda terlebih dulu lebih faham dari diri saya.Anggapkan ia provokasi atau cubitan yg sakit mengejutkan kita dari
mimpi dan tidur.

Ya!Sudahl-sudahlah bermimpi!!!Bangun dan akuilah ini hakikat sebenar negara kita!

-Melayu,Cina dan India,hubungan yang retak-

Jelas kaum Cina dan India tidak berpuas hati dengan DEB.Siapa yang tak nak anaknya melanjutkan pelajaran ke luar negara?Siapa yang
tidak rimas melihat kotak 'bumiputera' dan 'bukan bumiputera' yang perlu ditanda setiap kali mengisi borang kerajaan?Siapa yang
geram melihat segala pinjaman,pelaburan ,peluang pendidikan yang memihak kepada 'bumiputera'

Melayu pon sama sahaja.Siapa yg tidak kecewa bila perlu berbahasa mandarin di negara sendiri hanya untuk mendapatkan
pekerjaan?Panasnya hati bila melihat restoran Kelantan Delights KLCC kebanggaan negara terpaksa ditutup angkara desakan
pihak asing.Siapakah yang tidak tercabar bila azan subuh dan agama Islam dihina dan dipertikaikan sesuka hati?

Berapa ramaikah lagi yang hidup di bawah paras kemiskinan di estet dan ladang-ladang seluruh negara?Negara Islamkah?
Sekularkah?IFC?Islam hadhari?

-Diri saya sendiri-

Tetapi apabila saya ditanya

'Anata wa Mareshia jin desuka?'
(Awak ni orang malaysiakah?)

Saya berasa cukup bangga dapat menjawab

"Sou desuyo.Mare kei no mareshia jin desu.Chugoku kei no kare mo mareshia jin desu shi,Indo kei no Mareshia jin mo imasuyo"
(Ya,saya org Malaysia berbangsa Melayu,dia yang berbangsa Cina pon org Malaysia jugak.Org Malaysia berbangsa India pon ada)

Maka terloponglah orang-orang Jepun yang selalu kagum akan Malaysia.Saya dikelilingi rakan-rakan pelbagai bangsa yang
professional,bersungguh-sungguh dalam bidang kewangan,kejuruteraan,sains politik.Semuanya keranamu Malaysia.
Pernah sekali kami adakan 'study group' di Universiti Tokyo membincangkan pelbagai isu negara.Tiada upah mahupun keputusan
'exam' yang menjadi imbuhan.Hanya semangat cintakan negara yang menjadi bekalan.

-Apakah masih ada harapan?-

Ya!Harapan masih ada.Kita semua terlalu 'self-centered',indivualistik sehingga gagal memahami bahawa

"Untuk terus hidup bersama,(co-exist) kita perlu saling berdaya saing untuk mewujudkan keseimbangan"
(Meminjam kata-kata seorang rakan )

-Keadilan itu adalah hak dan tanggungjawab-

Hentikan sikap hanya menuntut hak kita semata-mata.Di dalam Islam ada konsep hak dan tanggungjawab.Hak seorang
isteri adalah menerima nafkah (belanja rumah etc) dan tanggungjawab suami lah menunaikan nya.Jangan hanya kenal hak
kita sebagai warganegara,tapi belajarlah tentang tanggungjawab kita.

Orang Melayu,Cina ,India ,kaya,miskin,pandai,tidak terpelajar,semuanya ada hak masing-masing.Kita bertanggungjawab
untuk menunaikan kalau tidak semua,sebahagian hak-hak itu.

-DEB -
Memastikan DEB mencapai matlamatnya bukanlah tanggungjawab orang Melayu dan bumiputera sahaja.Ia adalah tanggungjawab
semua kaum.DEB itu hak bumiputera,dan apabila tercapainya DEB,maka tanggungjawab bumiputera
adalah mengembalikan hak yang sdahpon dipinjam selama 20 tahun itu kepada semua kaum.

Janganlah dibolot hak kaum lain selama-lamanya wahai orang melayu.Sampai bila mahu hidup bertongkat?

Janganlah dibiarkan niat murni bapa-bapa kemerdekaan kita dicemari oleh segelintir yang menayalahgunakan sistem untuk
kepentingan mereka.

Orang yang kaya di Damansara,Bukit Antarabangsa,Bangsar ada yang Melayu,Cina dan India.Orang miskin di pinggiran kampung
di Jasin,Gua Musang,Telok Intan ada yang Melayu ,Cina dan India.Ini bukanlah masalah kaum masing-masing.Tapi masalah kita
semua.Masalah orang Cina dan India adalah masalah saya juga,kerana saya orang Malaysia

My biggest enemy....is myself

2007-09-08T20:33:00.000+09:00

So far science has failed in explaining why is it so painfull for me to start writing,once again.Yeah,I know some of you out there will think,"Oh here he goes again,another entry which will be followed byseveral boring entries and somehow will hit the wall and stop"

To tell you the truth,I wont deny the possibility of that happening,again.Things get in your way everyday.To wait for the chance where you can reallly sit down and have a go at the keyboard are like waiting for the durians
to fall when its not even the 'musim' yet.

Endless assignments?Pc problems?Brain block?Those are just small obstacles in life,oftenly used as lame excuses ,lining up nicely with the too ever famously phrase of 'too bz lah,no time'.

Procrastination,uninspired are the reasons why we stopped writing.It goes the same for that yoga ,language class diet programs that requires consistency!!

So today's statement is my biggest enemy is none other than myself.Stop giving yourselves excuses because weak people gives excuses but those who excel show results.

Welcome back shah,let see how far can you continue this time.

smallest things that matters

2007-05-01T03:13:00.000+09:00

There are many times in life when people point out to me and said

"Why do you have to explain that?I already know about it.Why not go straight to the bigger issue?"

This happens a lot when I'm trying to explain something,may it be an idea,history,a conclusion,philosophy..etc.No my dearest friend,I'm not mad neither offended by you(you know who you are hehe:D).

The thing is, when I listen to explanations from others,there are times when I know nothing even the simplest thing.So of course,I'll ask.But often answers like these came back

"What?Don't tell me you don't even know that?That's common sense!!Everybody knows that!!"

or "Don't you know what _ _ _ (fill in the blanks) is?No one ever told you?"

Sorry,due to the slowness of my brain or due to my ignorance there are some things considered the simplest common sense by others that I don't know.And because I don't know that you do know or not ,out of playing safe,I'll just explain again..and again...and again to you the simplest of things,eventhough you've already knew about it.Not that I'm undermining you.

Oyasumi my dear friend.

Kenapa saya perlu buat perkara yang tidak ade kena mengena dengan hidup saya

2007-04-28T14:10:00.001+09:00

Allah swt educates us in the most interesting ways.

I used to wonder,why did Allah put me in research labs in which my main themes resembled mechanical rather than Electrical engineering?I was pretty sure I picked my choices carefully both in 2004 and 2006. 2004 was my final year in kosen (national college of tech) and I chosed Miyashiro sensei's lab,hoping that I can get my hands on the electric car.Yet I was asked to conduct a research on ultrasonic wave using the oldest manual I've ever seen.Trust me,if it's hand written with fading blue ink,it had to be old ya?And of course Miyashiro sensei could not resist himself, laughed and said

"Dont break the equipment will ya because the company which made it no longer exist".

Bending of water flow using ultrasonic wave

Great,fantastic and fabulous.And so there was me,the faithfull student of control and information engineering spending most of my time in a workshop that houses diesel engines,screws,nuts,tool kits.It could have been perfect if only I had mechanic clothes on.

My final year thesis in 2006 saw me desperately trying to solder a wire onto solder bump with a diameter 200-400micro meters using the typical and common SOLDER GUN!!!Now that took some shokunin waza to accomplish.Once again I found my bestriends were the screws (M3-M5;the diameters of scew,frm 3mm-5mm),nuts bolts,solder,solder bumps.Eventually even the drilling press,tapping screws ,grinding machine became my toys with the undergound workshop being my playground.

Dont get me wrong.Never did I doubt Allah's takdir (fate).In fact I "redha" knowing that inshaallah one day I'll understand.That day was 28th April 2007.

Yesterday while at work,I found out that i need to familliar myself with soldering, before actually start to design my own circuit.Eureka!Hey,I know how to solder !During my training period I had to dissmantle the printers parts apart.Guess who quickly recognized the types of screws and where it belonged? (wink*).

Subhanallah, wal-hamdulillah, wa la-ilaha ill-Allah, wa-Allahu akbar (Glorified is Allah, all praise is due to Allah, and there is no God but Allah, Allah is the greatest)Allah swt put me through all these hardship,just because He wanted to prepare me for this day.He gave me impossible tasks to show that nothing is impossible,that if I truly believe in my faith and myself and continue to strive hard,then one day I will understand.Sometimes we face challenges that seems nothing to do with us.Remember the movie 'karate-kid'?Quoting from wikipedia;

"Mr. Miyagi becomes Daniel's teacher and slowly a surrogate father figure. Mr.Miyagi begins Daniel's training by having him perform laborious chores such as waxing his many cars, sanding his deck, and painting his fence. Eventually, Daniel becomes fed up, and confronts Miyagi about his unorthodox teaching methods. Mr. Miyagi reveals that Daniel has unknowingly been learning defensive blocks, through the various arm movements learned doing the chores."

Sounds familliar eh?Things are more or less than it seems.Even if the sky seems to be falling apart,never ever lose faith and believe in God,yourself.

This entry is about hope,faith,believes,not quitting,but to strive harder and patience.

small things that matters -part1

2007-04-26T00:56:00.000+09:00

Whenever I go to masjid back home,whether it's As-Syakirin or Sungai Mulia,I'll always make sure that my slippers are placed on top of each other at a secluded spot to prevent the possibility of having to go home barefoot.This is the basic of any idiot's guide to Malaysian's masjid.Funny isn't it ,at places where good deeds,human values and others religious education are being taught,the followers come with fear of having not only their slippers but other precious items being stolen.Believe me it's annoying enough having to scorch your feet on the sizzling tarmac or bitumen build by sami vellu and co.

After having secured my slippers,I usually make a quick trip to the loo,so that my prayer would not be suddenly disturbed by nature's call.Then comes the abolution part where some people seems to be having a bath rather than making a wudhu.Have they not heard the hadith to not be execessive even if one is taking the wudhu in a flowing river?

Next,I'll head to the main praying hall.On Friday,there's usually a short tazkirah (lecture) on various topics before the main khutbah(sermon).My father prefers to come early because it's easier to find parking spaces.So most of the time I'm in time to hear the tazkirah.Even if you're late, there's nothing to worry about.There'll be plenty of spaces up front near the ustaz as most people would seek to sit afar or find pillars to rest upon.

Sad to say,and it hurts having to admit that these are few examples of the situation in Malaysia.Things are much better here in Japan,where muslims from different continents mix and most of them behave like muslims should.Shoe racks are tidyly kept with no cases of having to chain them up.Toilets and abolution areas are cleaner and nicer,and places up front are usually full for tazkirah.

I firmly believe that small things does matters.If we cannot overcome these problems,then forget about promoting Islam as the beutiful deen, for nothing but mockery will come our way.It's like advertising a new flat screen tv using a shabby,tacky signboard,where the paints are peeled.Unless you use vodoo ,hypnotize, use jampi serapah or something ,how do you expect people to believe or even buy the product?

We are who we are internally.

A beginning

2007-04-21T18:12:00.000+09:00

A tired looking dad of 3 took the last tube home,hoping for the slightest of chance he will get to see his children.Unfortunately as things has always been,the kids had already been tucked away in their beds.'My kids are sooooooouuuoo adorable' he says,like all parents do.A typical oya baka which i think is absolutely normal.

Every day millions of asian fathers breaks millions of promises made to their kids.This is the reality of developing countries,nor does it stops when a country is developed.As a kid i learnt that life is hard and full of ups and downs from the story of the diligent ant and his lazy friend the grasshopper.I bet you that ants those days didnt need think of taxes,insurances,car loans house mortages and etc2.

And in pursue of each own dream,to live the lifestyle of the rich and famous,time has always been THE problem.Proposals ,appointments ,meetings,and presentations all consumes huge amount of our limited time.Hence we provide less time to relax,eat,even to take our kids out to the park.

At the age of 25,when reality of life stares directly at my face(I can even smell its aweful breath!),Im beginning to question the path I'm about to take.I have to admit being able to tell your relatives that you work as an eletronic circuit designer does sounds really cool.Hehe.However,I can almost see myself in the next 20 years if i continue to live the life of a typical guy from the RnD department.Techi Techi shah.

Will my time be only divided between work,nomikai and sleep?Will I turn into those bald guys with lifeless eyes reflecting a day's stress which I so easily find in everyday's train to work?And after reaching the age of 40 what kind of contributions for the community had i done?Or will i be too busy to fulfill my desire,dreams and ambitons?

It is time for me to give something back to my country. Yes,getting what you want is life is nice,but I think I'll be more satisfied if I'm able to help people get what they want in life.

Malaysia yg semakin kusut.

2007-03-04T18:16:00.000+09:00

-satu ulasan tentang perkara yang sudahpon kau tahu-

Arakianlah kisahnya kepimpinan tertinggi Malaysia berdepan dengan situasi yang sukar apabila diselubungi dengan krisis rasuah.Belum pon reda lagi riuh rendahnya kes bekas Ketua BPR,kini muncul pula watak baru timbalan pm yg didakwa menerima sogokan 5 juta sbg habuan membebaskan penjenayah di bawah ordinan darurat.

Begitulah hangatnya ,dengan plotnya yang berputar belit,watak-watak utama yang gagah-gagah,seakan-akan kita semua sedang menonton drama amerika latin.

Kisah-kisah sebegini bukanlah perkara baru.Mengapa perlu terkejut,tergezut,terlompat bagaikan menerima berita esoknya kiamat?Sudahkah kita lupa kisah bekas Ketua Menteri Melaka Tan Sri Rahim Thamby Chik,bekas Menteri Besar Selangor Md Taib, pembahagian AP kereta yang meragukan oleh Rafidah Aziz,semuanya mencerminkan betapa kepimpinan negara sudah lama berhadapan dengan bayang-bayang rasuah.

Di saat tinggal kurang 15 tahun sebelum tibanya 2020,di saat inilah negara semakin gawat,semakin tidak selamat.Kos kehidupan semakin hari semakin menekan.Tol,minyak,air ,eletrik semuanya telah naik.Masalah sosial pon naik.Murtad makin menjadi.Mat rempit semakin ramai.Dan apa yang dapat pemuda-pemudi umno cadangkan?Hadiahkan saja sebiji motor untuk tiap-tiap mat rempit!!

Jangan lupa,di saat Malaysia menyambut 50tahun merdeka,isu DEB dan ketidakpuashatian kaum cina terhadap keistimewaan ketuanan melayu belum lagi diselesaikan.Sampai bila harus kita bertongkat?DEB sudahpon tamat tempoh luputnya.Kalau DEB itu umpama susu,sudah lama lah ia basi.Tapi pelik ya,melayu di kampung tak juga kaya?Tonton saja rancangan Bersamamu TV3.Itulah realitinya.Siapa yang kaya?Paham paham sajalah.

Malaysia,malaysiaku yang semakin kusut.Bukankah ini petandanya bahawa jiwa-jiwa kita sudah semakin kosong?

Being honest

2007-01-26T12:14:00.000+09:00

My japanese otosan,Mr Nonaka once explained to me that Japanese people drink because when they drink,they feel relaxed and only then can they express their true feelings and thoughts.

I answered him back."We malaysian's dont have to drink in order to do that.We can be honest with ourselves,and say what we think and feel to others without the help of achohol" in which he replied "Well,thats japanese nature,and this is japan".A typical answer i received from almost every japanese that I've met.

Is it so hard being honest?I can clearly understand that there are times in expressing our personal opinion, we tend to hurt people's feelings but I am very very sure there are maaany ways to be frank and not hurting them.

"Because we're japanese and this is japan " is just an excuse to cover one's lack of communication skills.

I'm so glad I'm a muslim and a malaysian=).

Perbezaan

2007-01-11T10:35:00.000+09:00

Aku mempunyai fikiranku.Kau juga ada fikiranmu sendiri

Aku punya caraku.Kau juga punya cara mu bukan?

Aku akui aku tak setuju dengan cara mu dan sememangnya aku fikirkan cara ku lebih baik.
Kalau aku fikirkan cara mu lebih elok,sudah pasti aku pilih cara mu bukan?

Namun dalam ketidaksetujuan ini,tidak pula aku membantah untuk kau teruskan dengan cara mu.Malah jika kau yakin cara itu yang terbaik maka akulah yang paling kuat menyokong usahamu.

Apa yang aku minta,apa yang aku inginkan ialah kau biarkan aku dengan cara ku.Nasihat yang lembut aku sambut dengan tangan yang terbuka.Tapi untuk kau mempengaruhi dan memaksa cara mu atasku?Sekali-kali tidak!!

Apakah dengan perbezaan ini kita harus bertelingkah dan tak bertegur sapa?

Tidak!

Perbezaan tak akan hilang ,bukankah yang lebih penting adalah menghormati perbezaan ini?Kemudian kita carikkan titik persamaan dan pertemuan....

Fahamilah aku,kerana aku tak pernah berhenti dari cuba sedaya upaya untuk memahami diri mu.

Never try to please everyone,it's just nearly impossible.

2006-12-20T17:26:00.000+09:00

"Nearly impossible" in pleasing people because someone out there might have managed to do that,though i don't think it's actually possible.

Let me explain to you the story so far,I was the President of Malaysian
Student's Council here and I know exactly how people under you can make
so many demands and expect their dear ProfDumbledore -like Mr.
President who can make almost any wishes come true to perform,while
they themselves just sit down and wait for results.It's always "That's
the Presidents job,and because the president doesn't do anything no one
is moving,because the president never think of this and
that,because...because.."and the list goes on....endlessly.

Ok,after all the complaining ,I sound lak Pak Lah don't I?

Well because I never like to share similarity(except with few people..)let me tell you why I'm not any like Pak Lah.It's because I don't get paid doing the job,and mostly because I never wanted nor asked for the post!!

In a softer tone,as a leader of a community I try to listen to everyone's opinions,request and even demands.But how do you expect for something to be achieve when even the comittee members themselves are not present during meetings?And even worse some fails to do what they have been told to.

Now that sounds more like real life eh?A good leader(hehe)but problems always arises from those under them ,causing bearucreacy etc etc.

You may wonder why I'm complaining eventhough it is a past tense situation (I was,not I am the pres.)It's because eventhough you'd left the job,people still puts expecatations upon you.I don't mind that,what I wish for is for them to have a bit of respect and realize that I have the right to fullfill their expactations or not, as I like and more importantly, I really like to be left alone now.

Vote Shah for PM!(at least this way I get paid)

Jawapan kepada persoalan "sejauh manakah batasnya amal maruf nahi mungkar?" -dicut n paste dari artikel Hafiz Firdaus

2006-12-19T14:44:00.000+09:00

Oleh: Hafiz Firdaus Abdullah (www.al-firdaus.com)

Pada bulan Oktober 2006 yang lepas, pihak jabatan agama sebuah negeri telah menyerbu masuk bilik sebuah hotel atas laporan sedang berlakunya kes khalwat di dalamnya. Namun ternyata laporan tersebut adalah tidak tepat kerana yang ditemui adalah dua orang pelancong Mat Saleh dari Amerika Syarikat dalam lingkungan umur 60an. Peristiwa ini tidak berhenti di situ. Pelancong tersebut telah membawa kes ini ke pihak atasan, termasuk kepada menteri pelancongan. Seterusnya peristiwa ini mendapat sambutan hangat daripada akhbar-akhbar tempatan berbahasa Inggeris, sekali gus membawa imej Islam yang sememangnya rendah ke tahap yang lebih rendah.

Menyentuh pelaksanaan amar ma’ruf dan nahi mungkar, umat Islam sememangnya terbahagi kepada dua titik ekstrim. Titik ekstrim pertama adalah mereka yang menelantarkan pelaksanaan amar ma’ruf dan nahi mungkar, sama ada kerana tidak tahu tentangnya, menganggap ia adalah urusan pemerintah semata-mata atau kerana terpengaruh kepada pemikiran hak asasi manusia (human rights) yang kini mula mendapat tempat sebagai agama terbaru dunia mutakhir. Pemikiran ini antara lain menerangkan bahawa melakukan yang baik (ma’ruf) atau yang buruk (mungkar) adalah hak masing-masing individu. Seseorang itu tak perlu campur tangan hak orang lain sama ada untuk menyuruh dia melakukan yang ma’ruf atau melarangnya daripada melakukan yang mungkar.

Pemikiran seperti ini bertentangan dengan ajaran Islam dan sesiapa sahaja yang memiliki pemikiran yang matang lagi luas, kerana mana-mana individu yang melakukan sesuatu yang ma’ruf atau mungkar atas dasar haknya yang tersendiri, lambat laun tetap akan memberi kesan kepada orang di sekelilingnya. Lebih merosakkan adalah fitrah manusia yang lebih cenderung kepada yang mungkar, dimana kemungkaran yang dilakukannya secara berseorangan lambat laun tetap akan memberi kesan negatif kepada orang di sekelilingnya secara khusus dan masyarakat secara umum.

Titik ekstrim kedua adalah mereka yang melaksanakan amar ma’ruf dan nahi mungkar, akan tetapi tanpa memerhatikan syarat-syaratnya. Mereka adalah orang-orang Islam yang sayangkan agama dan umatnya serta ingin mengembangkan yang ma’ruf dan menyusutkan yang mungkar di tengah-tengah masyarakat yang bergelombang dengan pelbagai cabaran luar dan dalam. Akan tetapi semangat mereka mendahului ilmu dan kematangan sehingga usaha mereka melahirkan hasil yang sebaliknya, yang ma’ruf tetap pada tahap yang minimum manakala yang mungkar tetap kekal atau malah bertambah lagi.

Untuk manfaat bersama, pada kesempatan ini saya ingin menerangkan syarat-syarat pelaksanaan amar ma’ruf dan nahi mungkar agar hasilnya lebih berkesan insya-Allah. Semoga dengan syarat-syarat ini, kita berada di pertengahan antara dua titik ekstrim di atas.

Syarat Pertama: Ikhlas

Pelaksanaan amar ma’ruf dan nahi mungkar hendaklah terlebih dahulu didasari dengan niat yang ikhlas. Amar ma’ruf dan nahi mungkar hendaklah dilaksanakan demi menjaga ketulenan agama Allah (Islam) serta kasih sayang kepada umat dan prihatin untuk membetulkan keadaan mereka. Dua tujuan yang terakhir ini adalah berdasarkan sifat Rasulullah sendiri yang:

Sesungguhnya telah datang kepada kamu seorang Rasul dari golongan kamu sendiri (iaitu Nabi Muhammad s.a.w), yang menjadi sangat berat kepadanya sebarang kesusahan yang ditanggung oleh kamu, yang sangat tamak (inginkan) kebaikan bagi kamu, (dan) dia pula menumpahkan perasaan belas serta kasih sayangnya kepada orang-orang yang beriman. [Maksud surah al-Taubah, ayat 128]

Tidak boleh melaksanakan amar ma’ruf dan nahi mungkar kerana ingin mempertayangkan kehebatan diri, merasa hebat dalam pakaian seragam, merendah-rendahkan orang dan sebab-sebab lain yang menjauhi keikhlasan.

Syarat Kedua: Berilmu

Pelaksanaan amar ma’ruf dan nahi mungkar hendaklah berdasarkan ilmu yang sahih. Perkara ma’ruf yang disuruh hendaklah sesuatu yang benar-benar ma’ruf dan perkara mungkar yang dilarang hendaklah benar-benar mungkar mengikut ukuran al-Qur’an dan al-Sunnah berdasarkan kefahaman generasi awal, iaitu al-Salaf al-Shalih. Tidak boleh menyuruh kepada sesuatu yang ma’ruf padahal ia adalah mungkar dan tidak boleh melarang sesuatu yang mungkar padahal ia adalah ma’ruf.

Satu contoh adalah sikap sebahagian umat Islam yang melarang interaksi atau perbincangan antara lelaki dengan wanita secara mutlak (ikhtilath). Larangan ini sebenarnya adalah tidak tepat kerana ikhtilath itu sendiri dapat dibahagikan kepada dua kategori, yang dibolehkan dan yang dilarang. Ia dibolehkan jika ikhtilath tersebut adalah perlu demi manfaat di sebaliknya dan faktor-faktor yang boleh mengakibatkan fitnah dielakkan. Ia dilarang jika ikhtilath tersebut adalah tidak perlu dan faktor-faktor yang boleh mengakibatkan fitnah dibiarkan.

Sebagai contoh, di dalam al-Qur’an sedia diterangkan ikhtilath yang dibolehkan, sepertimana kisah Nabi Musa ‘alaihi salam dengan dua orang wanita dalam surah al-Qasas, ayat 23. Demikian juga kisah Nabi Sulaiman ‘alaihi salam dengan Puteri Balqis yang dirakamkan dalam surah al-Naml, ayat 44. Selain itu dalam Shahih al-Bukhari dan Muslim, diterangkan bagaimana seorang peniaga telah membuka gerai jualannya di bawah/tepi rumah Asma’ binti Abu Bakar, peristiwa isteri Abu Usaid as-Saidi yang menjamu Rasulullah dan para sahabat di majlis perkahwinannya sendiri serta kisah A’isyah yang merawat Bilal bersama ayahnya (Abu Bakar as-Shiddiq) ketika mereka berdua jatuh sakit saat berhijrah ke Madinah. Semua ini menunjukkan ikhtilath tidak dilarang jika ia dapat membawa manfaat dan dihindari apa-apa faktor fitnah di sebaliknya.

Syarat Ketiga: Berprioriti

Pelaksanaan amar ma’ruf dan nahi mungkar hendaklah mengikut prioriti keutamaannya. Dalam suasana jauhnya Islam dan umatnya daripada ketulenan al-Qur’an dan al-Sunnah serta banyaknya cabaran yang merosakkan agama dan umat, sama ada dari dalam atau dari luar, maka pelaksanaan amar ma’ruf dan nahi mungkar hendaklah disusun mengikut prioriti kepentingannya. Tidak boleh memberi tumpuan kepada isu-isu yang kecil padahal isu-isu besar yang lain terabai atau diambil alih oleh pihak yang menanganinya dengan cara yang tidak selari dengan petunjuk al-Qur’an dan al-Sunnah.

Contoh isu besar yang terkini ialah bid’ah pemikiran Islam Liberal, bid’ah pemikiran pluralisme (semua agama adalah sama dan benar), bid’ah pemikiran feminisme (wanita hendaklah menjadi lelaki dan pada waktu yang sama membenci lelaki), bid’ah pemikiran hak asasi manusia (setiap manusia bebas melakukan apa yang dikehendakinya), masalah murtad, masalah orang yang membesar-besarkan isu murtad, penyakit aids, hubungan seks antara pelajar dan anak luar nikah. Isu-isu ini patut diberi prioriti di atas isu lafaz niat, doa qunut Subuh, tahlil dan talqin.

Memberi tumpuan kepada menghidupkan sunnah dan membasmi bid’ah termasuk dalam usaha amar ma’ruf dan nahi mungkar. Akan tetapi perlu dibezakan bahawa bid’ah itu sendiri terbahagi kepada dua kategori, iaitu bid’ah pemikiran dan bid’ah amalan. Antara kedua-dua kategori bid’ah ini, bid’ah pemikiran perlu diberi prioriti kerana ia lebih mengancam dan lebih berkesan dalam merosakkan Islam dan umatnya.

Lebih mengancam kerana ia mencemari asas-asas aqidah Islam itu sendiri (oleh kerana itu ia juga disebut sebagai bid’ah al-Iqtiqadiyyah) dan lebih merosakkan kerana ia dilancarkan secara bijak dan berleluasa oleh orang-orang yang memiliki pengaruh dan kedudukan dalam masyakarat. Sebaliknya bid’ah kategori kedua hanya merupakan amalan orang-orang awam yang kurang pengetahuan dalam agama tetapi memiliki keinginan untuk memperbanyak atau memperkemas ibadah mereka kepada Allah.

Orang-orang seperti ini, jika diberi nasihat dan didikan yang berhikmah, akan membetulkan amalan mereka daripada menokok tambah yang bid’ah kepada berpada-pada dengan yang sunnah. Setakat ini kelihatan usaha menghidupkan sunnah dan membasmi bid’ah banyak tertumpu kepada kategori amalan. Maka prioriti usaha ini perlu diubah kepada menghidupkan sunnah dan membasmi bid’ah dalam kategori pemikiran.

Syarat Keempat: Berwawasan

Pelaksanaan amar ma’ruf dan nahi mungkar hendaklah dengan memerhatikan hasil atau akibatnya. Iaitu: · Tidak boleh menyuruh satu perkara yang ma’ruf jika dengannya terhilang kema’rufan lain yang lebih besar atau dengannya terhasil kemungkaran yang baru. · Tidak boleh melarang satu perkara yang mungkar jika dengannya kemungkaran menjadi lebih besar, atau terhasil kemungkaran yang baru, atau dengannya terhalang kema’rufan yang lain. Semua ini adalah berdasarkan firman Allah yang bermaksud:

Dan janganlah kamu cerca benda-benda yang mereka sembah yang lain dari Allah kerana mereka kelak akan mencerca Allah secara melampaui batas dengan ketiadaan pengetahuan. [al-An’aam, ayat 108]

Pada zaman Rasulullah s.a.w., pernah seorang arab Badwi membuang air kecil di dalam masjid. Para sahabat bergegas melarangnya tetapi Rasulullah melarang mereka dan membiarkan Badwi tersebut menyelesaikan pembuangan air kecilnya. Setelah itu barulah baginda menegur Badwi tersebut dan memberi tunjuk ajar kepadanya. Dalam peristiwa di atas yang tercatit dalam Shahih Muslim (nombor 285), Rasulullah tidak secara terus melarang kemungkaran yang berlaku di hadapan matanya, di dalam masjidnya. Jika kemungkaran tersebut dilarang serta merta, akan berlaku kemungkaran lain yang lebih besar. Badwi tersebut mungkin cuba melarikan diri dan ini akan menyebabkan air kencingnya bertaburan di sekeliling masjid manakala auratnya akan dilihat oleh orang ramai. Atau badwi tersebut mungkin akan berhenti, menahan dirinya dari membuang air kecil dan ini akan membawa mudarat kepada kesihatannya.

Wawasan yang dimiliki oleh Rasulullah menyebabkan baginda tidak melarang kemungkaran yang dilakukan oleh Badwi tersebut serta merta kerana ia akan melahirkan kemungkaran lain yang lebih besar. Baginda hanya menegur setelah urusannya selesai manakala para sahabat disuruh oleh baginda untuk menyiram air di kawasan terbabit. Peristiwa di atas, sekali pun kecil, perlu dijadikan iktibar oleh kita semua. Hendaklah pengajarannya dipraktik dan diperluaskan kepada pelbagai senario yang kita hadapi masa kini. Pada pengamatan saya, syarat keempat inilah yang paling tidak diketahui atau diperhatikan oleh sesama umat Islam dalam rangka melaksanakan amar ma’ruf dan nahi mungkar.

Syarat Kelima: Berakhlak

Pelaksanaan amar ma’ruf dan nahi mungkar hendaklah melalui akhlak yang mulia. Memandangkan pada masa kini kurangnya perkara ma’ruf dan banyaknya perkara mungkar adalah kerana jauhnya umat Islam daripada agama mereka yang tulen, maka hendaklah akhlak mendidik (tarbiyah) dijadikan kaedah utama untuk melaksanakan amar ma’ruf dan nahi mungkar. Seterusnya akhlak mencela, menghukum dan memulau (boycot) ditinggalkan kerana ia tidak menghasilkan kema’rufan yang diingini, sebaliknya mengekal atau menambah lagi kemungkaran.

Termasuk dalam akhlak mendidik ialah bijak menyusun strategi agar pelaksanaan amar ma’ruf dan nahi mungkar menjadi berwawasan dan menepati sasarannya. Lazimnya akhlak mendidik dalam pelaksanaan amar ma’ruf dan nahi mungkar tidak akan menghilangkan perkara ma’ruf yang lain atau menghasilkan serta menambah perkara mungkar yang baru.

Syarat Keenam: Tidak Berprasangka atau Mengintip

Dalam rangka melaksanakan nahi mungkar, kita ditegah daripada berprasangka kepada orang lain, jauh sekali daripada mencari-cari kesalahannya. Tidak boleh bertindak atas laporan yang tidak dikenali kesahihannya. Tidak boleh mengintip dan memata-matai dalam rumah atau ruang hidup peribadi seseorang. Upaya melarang kemungkaran hanya dibolehkan jika ia berlaku secara jelas, tanpa syak, ragu atau dicari-cari. Syarat ini adalah berdasarkan firman Allah yang bermaksud:

Wahai orang-orang yang beriman! Jauhilah kebanyakan dari sangkaan kerana sesungguhnya sebahagian dari sangkaan itu adalah dosa; dan janganlah kamu mengintip atau mencari-cari kesalahan dan keaiban orang. [al-Hujurat, ayat12]

Justeru tindakan mengintip, memata-matai dan menyerbu ke dalam rumah atau ruang hidup persendirian perlu dihentikan. Sebaliknya hendaklah usaha pelaksanaan nahi mungkar ditumpukan kepada aktiviti yang berlaku dalam ruang terbuka dan tempat-tempat umum seperti kelab malam dan rumah urut. Pengecualian adalah terhadap kemungkaran yang bakal memberi kesan buruk lagi meluas kepada manusia dan harta benda, seperti aktiviti membuat bom atau merancang tindakan menggempar orang ramai (terrorisme). Dalam pengecualian ini, tindakan mengintip, memata-matai dan menyerbu ke dalam rumah atau ruang hidup persendirian dibolehkan.

Syarat Ketujuh: Tidak Menghebahkannya

Jika seseorang itu secara jelas didapati melakukan kemungkaran, usaha untuk melarang kemungkaran tersebut hendaklah dilakukan tanpa mendedahkan identiti pelakunya. Hendaklah diberi teguran, nasihat dan peringatan secara tersembunyi. Tidak boleh mengumumkan kemungkaran dan identiti pelakunya sehingga diketahui oleh orang ramai. Tindakan ini dilarang keras oleh Allah dengan ancaman:

Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang suka dihebahkan (tuduhan atau berita) yang buruk dalam kalangan orang-orang yang beriman, mereka akan beroleh azab seksa yang tidak terperi sakitnya di dunia dan di akhirat; dan (ingatlah) Allah mengetahui (segala perkara) sedang kamu tidak mengetahui (yang demikian). [Maksud surah al-Nur, ayat 19]

Pada masa kini, tindakan membawa orang yang didapati melakukan kemungkaran ke mahkamah perlu dikaji semula. Ini kerana tindakan tersebut akan mendedahkan identiti orang yang terbabit dan kemungkaran yang dilakukannya. Sekali pun yang mendedahkannya adalah pihak media, pihak yang diberi amanah melaksanakan amar ma’ruf dan nahi mungkar perlu memainkan peranan aktif untuk menutup identiti orang yang terbabit. Demikian tujuh syarat yang perlu diperhatikan oleh setiap individu sebelum melaksanakan amar ma’ruf dan nahi mungkar. Setelah itu, hendaklah kita bersabar dalam menantikan hasilnya dan sabar dalam menerima cabaran-cabaran yang bakal timbul. Tidak boleh cepat putus asa atau hilang semangat sebagaimana pesan Luqman kepada anaknya:

“Wahai anak kesayanganku, dirikanlah sembahyang, dan suruhlah yang ma’ruf serta laranglah daripada yang mungkar, dan bersabarlah atas segala bala bencana yang menimpamu. Sesungguhnya yang demikian itu adalah dari perkara-perkara yang dikehendaki diambil berat melakukannya.” [Maksud surah Luqman, ayat 17]

Sejauh mana batas amal maruf nahi mungkar?

2006-12-18T18:31:00.000+09:00

Mufti Perlis Dr. Mohd Asri Zainal Abidin yang juga merupakan mufti termuda dilantik menyarankan supaya operasi menangkap pasangan berkhalwat dihentikan,(rujuk NST).
Banyak alasan ,hujah yang boleh diberikan,dan sememangnya sesiapa yang menutup keaiban seseorang daripada pengetahuan orang ramai ,maka Allah swt akan menutup keaibannya di hari akhirat.Maka saya mula bermuhasabah kembali lantas bertanya,sejauh manakah batas bagi menghayati konsep amal maruf nahi mungkar?Kalau orang yang sering ke masjid,pastinya ayat di bawah ini sudah tidak asing lagi dalam memperkenalkan konsep ini.Bagaimana?Kenal ke tidak?:P

Kamu (wahai umat Muhammad) adalah sebaik-baik umat yang dilahirkan bagi (faedah) umat manusia, (kerana) kamu menyuruh berbuat segala perkara yang baik dan melarang daripada segala perkara yang salah (buruk dan keji), serta kamu pula beriman kepada Allah (dengan sebenar-benar iman). Dan kalaulah Ahli Kitab (Yahudi dan Nasrani) itu beriman (sebagaimana yang semestinya), tentulah (iman) itu menjadi baik bagi mereka. (Tetapi) di antara mereka ada yang beriman dan kebanyakan mereka: orang-orang yang fasik.
-A'li 'Imraan,110-

Seingat saya,operasi terbesar yang pernah saya lakukan atas nama amal maruf nahi mungkar adalah di MCKK.Tiap tahun MCKK menjadi tumpuan old boys mengimbau kembali nostalgia ,memikirkan masa depan untuk kolej tercinta.Namun sayang,selalu saja terdengar ada old boy (tapi bukan semua!biasalah,golongan minoriti la yang selalu "medatsu",obvious) yang tak solat,membuat bising waktu maghrib,dan tak kurang juga kisah budak koleq yang terjumpa tin/botol arak.Sejauh mana kebenarannya?Wallahualam!!

Mungkin zaman sudah pon berubah,tapi saya terpaksa mengaku, akhir 90-an, terlalu sedikit old boys yang solat berjemaah di Surau Big School.Takpelah,sangka baik ...Agaknya ramai yang lebih gemarkan Masjid Ridzwaniah bersebelahan.Dalam situasi begitu,apa pula yang kami lakukan? Kerja kami senang saja.Saya ikut setuju idea Presiden Badan Revolusi Ugama(BRU,kini dikenali dengan nama BANI,Badan Nahdha Islamiah)ketika itu,menampal poster.

Poster yang cukup mudah.Bersize kertas A4,ada lukisan orang sedang bersolat dan mesej utamanya berkaitan solat.Di tepinya lukisan-lukisan kecil melarang judi dan arak.Cukup jelas.Sedih juga, poster-poster yang ditampal di dorm-dorm itu,ada pula yang dikoyakkan.Agaknya ada old boys yang rasa tak puas hati?Rasa kami budak mentah menghina mereka?Ini pon wallahualam.Sangka baik sajalah...mungkin angin malam itu kuat sangat sampai terkoyak...

Tapi bagi saya pendekatan yang dilaksanakan cukup lembut.Kami sedar akan beza usia ,menghalang untuk 'sound direct'.Lagipon siapalah kami,budak mentah yang tentunya belum lagi cukup makan asam garam kehidupan.

Itu kisah silam.Mungkin kalau kami lebih radikal,boleh saja buat operasi 'menangkap' mereka yang tak solat ,takpon humban ke penjara sesiapa yang ada tin arak di tangan?Teringat pula cerita kawan saya yang 'dikompaun' atas kesalahan tidak turun solat jemaah di surau matrikulasi.Secara jujur hati saya pon berat nak turun berjemaah gara-gara polisi 'kompaun mengompaun'.

Kita boleh tubuhkan ratusan pasukan khas,gerak gempur dan jalankan operasi demi operasi,kompaun dan denda bagi setiap kesalahan(tak puasa,solat,tutup aurat ...)tapi adakah tindakan kita itu masih lagi dalam batasan amal maruf nahi mungkar?Yang ditakuti adalah kita umat islam hidup dalam kepura-puraan,melaksanakan ibadah bukan atas kemahuan tapi takutkan denda ,kompaun ,operasi.

Tindakan menangkap sebenarnya menunjukkan kita sudah pon terlambat.Lambat?Kan menangkap itu merupakan tindakan saat kesalahan telah pon dilakukan atau kalau diberi masa kebarangkalian terjadinya kesalahan itu menghampiri satu.Maka maknanya kita telahpon lambat,lambat MENCEGAH daripada dari AKAR UMBI masalah.Menangkap orang yang makan di siang hari bulan ramadhan mungkin bermakna ada golongan yang tak dapat mesej daripada program penghayatan ramadhan yang diadakan.Salah siapa?Salah kita yang tak cukup berusaha!
Kalau dari segi perubatan,tindakan menangkap pasangang berkhalwat ini menandakan penyakit khalwat itu dah pon wujud,sudah pon berjangkit,bernanah.Dan menjadi adat penyakit biasanya ambil masa untuk diubati.Nampak sangat tak cukup pencegahan awal?

Berbalik kepada persoalan saya ,sejauh manakah batasnya ?

Ada hadith Rasullulah saw maksud nya kalo diizinkan,mahu saja Baginda saw menyuruh kanak-kanak kecil mengumpul kayu api dan bakar rumah-rumah yang penghuninya tidak solat berjemaah di masjid,tapi Rasullulah saw tak berbuat demikian.

Tapi ada pula hadith yang menyuruh kita melarang perbuatan mungkar dengan tangan,kalau tak mampu dengan lidah,dan kalau tak mampu juga dengan hati yakni selemah-lemah iman?

Pada masa yang sama,kita juga tahu akan Khulafa ar Rasyidin ,Saiyina Abu Bakr As Sidiq r.a,disamping memerangi golongan murtad yang jelas akan hukumnya turut juga dan mengambil tindakan ke atas mereka yang enggan membayar zakat?Mungkin situasi Saiyidina Abu Bakr r.a berbeza,kerana pada ketika itu keadaan begitu kucar kacir dan kalau tak diambil tindakan begitu drastik dan radikal,pasti Islam akan lemah.

Keith Ellison on taking oath from the Quran

2006-12-12T12:26:00.000+09:00

Dennis Prager from his article in townhall.com titled' America, Not Keith Ellison, decides what book a congressman takes his oath on' says that

Of course, Ellison's defenders argue that Ellison is merely being honest; since he believes in the Koran and not in the Bible, he should be allowed, even encouraged, to put his hand on the book he believes in. But for all of American history, Jews elected to public office have taken their oath on the Bible, even though they do not believe in the New Testament, and the many secular elected officials have not believed in the Old Testament either. Yet those secular officials did not demand to take their oaths of office on, say, the collected works of Voltaire or on a volume of New York Times editorials, writings far more significant to some liberal members of Congress than the Bible. Nor has one Mormon official demanded to put his hand on the Book of Mormon. And it is hard to imagine a scientologist being allowed to take his oath of office on a copy of "Dianetics" by L. Ron Hubbard.

I say dear Mr Prager, havent it occured to you that maybe unlike the secular elected officials,or american jews (with all due respect to them all),Mr Keith Ellison's faith in his religioun is deeper and would never sacrifice what he believes to fit the system?Honestly I believe there are some muslims who would actually swear by any book,or taking off their hijab for the sake of obeying the system,but I dont think Mr Keith Ellison comes from that part of the neighbourhood.

Plus ,talking of Islamization of America,it is ironic to point out that U.S army occupied Iraq in the name of freedom and democracry.Isn't it the other way round Mr Prager,which is what is happening today is the Americanization of Islamic world ?

No,I dont hate American people but these double standard policies are really holding me back from liking their government.

Of being No 1,and being the best

2006-12-05T19:14:00.000+09:00

I once read an article about a rich man(sorry,i dont remember the details).He pointed out that although he is happy with the wealth that he obtained ,but he appreciates more the experiences and all the knowledge that he learnt during the process of being a billionaire.

I concur.According to this rich guy,he values more the ethical aspects, learning to discipline oneself,and communication and negotiation skills that he without knowingly developed.IMHO,its all in the mind and mentality problem.First class mentality people will always be succesful that those inferior.I have seen many of my friends, siblings demonstrate the same thing.

2nd class,3rd class pple take problems ,well as problems.But first class pple consider every problems as challenges and as an oppurtunity to prove the worthyness of oneself.

So any time you ask God "Why and why did you put me through all this hardship and diffculties?",just remember God's answer would probably be "Because I know you can , because I want to make you stronger and a better man".Maybe we are" the only person for the job" as no one else is qualified enough to tackle the challenge:D

Self believe,self esteem.Feel good

Discrimination-sabetsu

2006-11-12T17:38:00.000+09:00

Ok,hurray me.This is afterall my first two posts in one day if I'm correct

Discrimination occurs everywhere.Back in Malaysia most of us look down upon immigrants from Bangladesh,Indonesia and Myanmar.In Australia,asians sometimes faces difficulties with local people.

But I least expected it to happen in Japan ,where most japanese people I've met treated foreigners with politeness if not royalties.

Yes,I admit,only SOME of them tend to discriminate.Yet,as history has proven thousands of time,these minority group of people are the one who stands out from the crowd,giving bad impression to the rest of them.

Communities which are free from 'bad apples',or 'black sheeps' are very rare if not impossible.

But i guess that's why they call us here 'Gaijin'='Outside people'.We even have id cards called the 'Alien registration Card'.Maybe I do have tentacles...unseen..somewhere

What makes me sad is that it's so hard to be discriminated this way after spending years of studying their own language,learning every bits of their culture and history,trying hard to understand their mind and ways of thinking.And yet,all this effort and hardworks are never recognized by certain simple and short minded people.

Pedulikan mereka.

And you thought that it's another case of a blog gone dead.Hehehe

Thanks for the warm response by gogol,endoru and chyi.In reply to chyi's question in one of the post, I'm gonna work here after my graduation.Not that I despise the idea of having a master or phd...(heck..that does sound cool don't you think..having people print some initials before your name,may it be Dr,Ir,or even HRH?:=D)but not in japan.Although I am intrigued by the curiosity of discovering new dimension through research works, I would rather not sacrifice my own life style in doing so.

Btw.. a belated happy deepavali n salam aidilfitri 2006 from me.

Of maximum efficiency with minimum effort(entry mengomplen)

2006-10-17T10:23:00.000+09:00

The good thing about studying overseas is that you get to see differences in culture and ways of thinking.Well,isn't that one of the obvious reason why the government send us ?

While I basically do agree with the "masuk kandang kambing mengembek,masuk kandang kerbau menguak","go ni ireba go ni shitagai" or "when in rome,do as the romans do" concept, I also believe that in some parts you have the right and freedom to choose as to act as the romans ,or kambing.. or whatever lah ..or simply stick to your own way.

It's only 2 days ago I spoke personally with my lecturer, and he stressed out that I need to spend more time at my lab, while pointing to the fact that I signed off at 5pm everyday for the past month.Although I assured him (as an excuse of course!!,malas nak debate .bukan menang pon kan)that the 5pm signing off thing was due to the month of Ramadhan, deep inside me,I can't seem to understand the need to stay beyond 5pm even in non-fasting month.

In case of those who are not familiar with the japanese culture, they think highly of those 'ganbaru',or 'berusaha',or 'work hard'.So it's normal to see a father who comes home late at night due to overtime,or those who sacrificed their holidays to focus on a project.So when it comes to research and laboratory,its normal when my japanese seniors and colleagues stay until 8pm everyday.

So it's normal to them,not to me.

First of all,why do I need to stay overtime when my goal for the day had already been achieved by 5pm?Every morning I draw out my plans and schedule for the day and execute them accordingly,setting realistic goals for the day as sub goals to achieve my goals of the week and month.Trust me,I would love to plan for today the day before ,but this isn't possible due to the need to re-check my lecturer's schedule,which would only be announced on the day itself.

Secondly,5pm-8pm is the most less effective working time (well,at least to me).My colleagues would have their dinner at 6pm at the university's cafe.Easy enough because unlike them , I need to first buy groceries-defrost-cook which all in all takes 2 hrs.By the time I'm finished eating,there is barely any energy left for efficient work.

Thirdly, not that I'm trying to stereotype the japanese people , but looking at my colleagues, most of them spend the mentioned hour playing games,updating blogs in mixi(japanese version of friendster) , and not doing any solid work.Plus the obvious reason why they spend so much time at the lab is because of the fast internet connections.Plus staying alone or hitori gurashi causes loneliness.

Fourthly, I admit there are some who stay until the monin hrs doing work.However,I personally believe some work if you concentrate and pay enough attention , can be done in much much shorter time.

So as my friend Chyi once said to me in Tokyo during the Career Fair,

"Why spend the whole day doing something when I know I can complete it in 5 hrs?"

I rest my case

Confused?

2006-10-11T10:44:00.000+09:00

Sometimes we are in the state of confused. Well, then again some people spend most of their time trying to make out heads or tails of what they're doing. Often the word "storm, cloudy" are used to relate and describe its characteristics.　Funny enough as we rely on nature's terminologies as analogies to explain the erm..well the 'nature' of this phenomena.

I bet you are already a bit confused by now .

As much as we worry so much, or just worrying because we are not as worried as we should be ,confusion is normal. What is not however, is letting it grow and spread in our mind to the extent that we are not aware that we are actually and obviously confused.

To free ourselves from this disease, we seek clarification. Term such as "To clear the picture”,” Thinking clearly" and such seems to propose the justification of the word” clear" as "confuse" counterpart. What leads to confusion is the failure to understand. So the act "to understand" is actually the potion which if taken would bring us to the state of "clearness" and free us from the spell,or curse of the you-know-what-i'm-talking-about.And thus everyone of us try so hard making this potion,each with its own methods and techniques. Some are effectives, some are just worthless.

Example. For decades mankind has searched for the perfect formula to create a 'fair and balance' society. Hence the birth of communism,socialism,democracy.Not a very good example? Maybe I myself am still a bit confused.....sigh.Nevertheless ,these methods have been put to test,(often sacrificing millions of life along the way) and most of the modern world agreed to the idea of democracy as the best potion.Some,like North Korea begs to differ, stubbornly and faithfully for t drinks the same old potion.

Okay, enough of politics. Lets talk engineering.

It is a trend in Japan in which those who have completed degree in engineering would usually further their studies to Master level. This is, by the way due to the employment problem here where companies prefer diploma college student because they’re cheaper and those who has master because of their knowledge in each respective research.

The confusion arises when there is no clear line separating engineers and researchers or scientist. Some engineers spend most of their times researching and discovering new behaviors that it is hard to regard them as engineers although sometimes the term "research engineer" is applied when addressing them.

I find the explanation by Theodore Von Karman who is an aerospace engineer sufficient enough to summarize and clarify the confusion. According to him

"Scientists discover the world that exists; engineers create the world that never was."

Simple and beautiful.

The Visit of Dr Burhanuddin Yeop to NUT

2006-09-29T10:30:00.000+09:00

Unlike the previous visit from the Vice Chancellor of UTM,Prof Ir Mohd Zulkifli,which was properly organized,this time it almost came as a suprise.

Yasui sensei (the lecturer in charge) came knocking upon abg zaidi's room,eventually looking for malaysian students.So as usual,the organizing task was given to me as Yasui sensei had asked for the assistance of Malaysian students due to his poor english.Truthfully i see nothing wrong with Yasui sensei's english.He does seem to have difficulties in listening and trying to understand certain words, but not much of a problem occurs when it comes to expressing ideas.I guess its the old inferiority and self confidence complex which seem to plagued many japanese when facing foreigners and the need to communicate in english without any erm..dictionary?

So who is Dr Burhanuddin Yeop?A lecturer from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, heads the Microelectronic and Nanotechnology Instute.In simple words,he`s the Malaysia`s Nano-Guy...if there was ever such a term..

For a country which just started it`s own nano research center,its no wonder that the cleanroom housed in UKM is well equipped.They have equipments such as AFM,photo lithography,EV evaporator,FT-IR ,..all which are top of the line.

Of a senseless debate

2006-09-20T15:35:00.000+09:00

I once read in a forum in which a person questioned the meaning of throwing stones against jamrah which is the part of hajj's ritual.He(Or was it a her?) said that his muslims friends taught him that one of the meaning is as if the pilgrimages were stoning the satan/devil himself.So he went on asking why does God ask us to hate His creature(satan) so much,why doesn't God love His creation.And another point which was brought up was why dont we fight hate with love?

I find these questions simply ridiculous.Firstly we need to ask ourselves why are we asked to hate ?

Do we dislike a person because he/she was born the way she is?Do we pick on a kid in school just because his face is so irritating and his existance only makes us angrier?

Why is ISA enforced when somebody poses a threat to this country?Why dont Pak Lah or Tan Sri Bakri Omar just spend 3days 2 nights in Redang with these convicts,holding hands while strolling down the beach watching the sunset to show what LOVE is?

(mind you,the author himself is against ISA)

How many times have we been reminded that the ONLY reason that our parents are angry with us and put up a curfew or cut back on our allowances is just because they love us?

My point is if we chose to dislike someone because of what he/she is than we're wrong.Obviously we can't change how one is,his appearence,wealth,race...etc2.

But if we chose to be angry because of what he/she had done then our emotion is justified.It is all too normal ,natural and in line with our fitrah to do so.So back to the topic.Why did God ask us to stone the jamrah as if the it was the act of stoning satan/devil himself?

After how arrogant and rude satan was to God in disobeying His order to make sujud to Adam a.s,I wonder myself,how dare can some of us be to ask these questions.God,Allah the Almighty,Lord of the Universe,Creator of all creations.To Him did satan was so bold to disobey and thou shall not pay?

Can someone who just spitted on the emperor's face go freely?He will probably be shot to death by the emperor's army.And yet this is God we are talking about.

What more not only did satan/devil disobeyed,but continued his arrogance and vowed forever to lead humanity to hellfire.

An enemy who actually vowed this in front of God the Almighty,and we are talking of wanting to show love?As if our love can actually change them?

My dear friend,you either watch to much tv,anime or just plain jahil.This is the reality.In the history of humankind never has it been recorded that satan/devil for even a brief moment stop form misleading us from the path of light and His hidayah.

So the military has taken over thailand.

Looks like the Prime Minister of Thai,Thaksin has eventually "lost control" unlike his counterpart on the south (I'm still in control).

And this came a few days after the hadyai bombings.Interestingly enough to see on which side will the King turn up to be?I can't help myself than being skeptical about the tactics the thais military use,wrapping their arms with the royal colour to express their loyalty.Things sometimes are just too good to be true.

kisah dari anak merdeka?

Selamat Harijadi Malaysia.Maaf ,tahun ini seperti biasa,tiada hadiah mahupun kad-kad yg comel2 dari memory lane yg mampu aku belikan.

Tapi macamlah aku tak kenal kau.Kau bukannya suka sangat hadiah2 yg kau dapat bukan?Biarlah bendera terbesar,kek tercantik,susunan tin susu terpanjang yang menyerupai dirimu.Itu semua karut marut dari mereka yg cuba berpura2 mahu membodek kau.Sedangkan hati mu makin hari makin terluka dek kurang ajar dan biadap mereka.

Sejak bila ya,anak-anak kau berani jadi kurang ajar?

Mungkin sebab salah didikan.Mungkin sebab mereka semua pon sudah besar remaja.`Rebellious`.Ya lah. Kau pon bukannya muda sangat.Mana muat 49 lilin atas kek!Hehe.

Ingat lagi kisah 10 tahun yang lepas?Kisah bas kuning buruk anak2 merdeka.Bas yang tak pernah gagal terpacul di depan pintu rumah ku jam 6.10 pagi.Hebat juga ya Uncle Yee yang tak pernah beli insurans mulut tu.

"HOI,lu olang blakang itu bikin bising ,kasi diam laaa.chisin $%%&'$&($8(kantonis@hokkien)",
makian unclee yee yang tak sudah jadi satu kebiasaan.

Tapi semua itu tak kami hiraukan.Malahan dari tempat duduk belakang sekali akan ada yang menjawab.

"Mana ada bising laa uncle.Lu saja yang sudah tua,"balas nakal Anak India tingkatan 1 meniru2 loghat hokkien@kantonis uncle yee.

Begitulah kisah zaman2 sekolah di tengah bandar 10 tahun yang lepas.Jika ayahku boleh bercerita panjang tentang keperitan terpaksa menapak 5km berjalan kaki ke sekolah,ini pula kisahku sebelum tibanya zaman monorail,LRT,KLCC,,dan handphone ke sekolah.Ya ,aku mengaku,Uncle Yee tu cekik darah dengan bayaran tambang yang mahal.Tapi pelik ya,bas kuning buruk tu la barangkali yang paling banyak mengajar aku erti anak merdeka.Dari Greenwood seawal 5 pagi,hinggalah ke taman tasik titiwangsa sekitar ja 6.45pagi,bas uncle yee laju dari lorong ke lorong,setia mengambil seorang demi seorang anak anak merdeka.

Ada yang datang dari rumah teres,teres 2tingkat,apartment,flat,kondominium,dan tak lupa banglo yang besar2.Ada si india anak cikgu,cina anak tauke kedai,cina anak mekanik ,melayu anak ustaz,melayu anak ahli perniagaan,dan tak lupa aku anak askar yang sudah pencen.Semuanya naik bas kuning yg buruk itulah.Semuanya suka cendol pakcik di tepi sekolah,semuanya main UNO.Ingat lagi gu-ci-pa?kreatif permainan anak kecil dalam mengisi masa yang panjang akibat "traffic jam".

Dan siapa pula yang boleh lupa,kisah kawan rapatku anak india yang jatuh hati dengan gadis melayu tinggi berbaju kurung putih itu?

buang tebiat ke ape?
