Aku hanya menulis apa yg aku dengar, bukan menambah perisa atau pewarna tiruan. Begini kisahnya, kisah biasa yang rasanya kita biasa dengar atau saksikan.. Teman itu menaiki kenderaan awam. Dan pada masa itu adalah waktu puncak, seperti biasa tiada tempat duduk kosong, penumpang bersesak2 di dalam keadaan tidak menyelesakan. Teman ini bernasib baik kerana mendapat tempat duduk. </div><div><br /></div><div>Kerana kasihankan seorang makcik yg agak berumur, teman ini menawarkan tempat duduknya. Tanpa ucapan terimakaseh atau senyuman tawar, makcik itu terus duduk.... teman itu dgn nada agak kesal berkata dalam hatinya...."berat sangat ke nak ucap terimakaseh?, terus duduk je.." </div><div><br /></div><div>Sekali imbas, memang rasanya agak wajar makcik itu mengucapkan terimakseh terhadap teman itu, kerana menganugerahkan singgahsananya, diwaktu kesesakan puncak.. dan ditambah kemungkinan penghawa dingin kurang berfungsi (ini aku tambah sikit kesannya). Tak patut betul rasanya makcik itu tidak mengucapkan terimakaseh ... kan?</div><div><br /></div><div>Cuba kita lihat pula dari sudut yang berbeda... sudut keutamaan dan hak. Adakah wajar teman itu duduk bersenang2, sedangkan ada orang yg lebih utama mendapatkan tempat duduk tersebut, seperti orang tua, kanak2, orang kurang upaya dll....Siapa yg lebih utama mendapatkan tempat duduk itu, antara makcik yg tua yang pasti kakinya sudah tidak kuat dan sakit untuk berdiri lama.... atau teman ini, yang maseh muda dan kuat... semata2 mendapat tempat duduk, tersebut atas sebab mungkin kerana dia masuk lebih awal di perhentian yg terdahulu....</div><div><br /></div><div>Persoalannya sekarang... haruskah makcik tua ini memberikan ucapan terimakaseh dan mengukir senyuman manis, atas sebab dia mendapatkan hak dan keutamaannya kembali.....</div><div><br /></div><div>atau sang teman muda ini, mengucapkan kata2 maaf lalu menghulur tempat duduk tersebut atas sebab logik... kerana telah mengambil hak makcik tersebut.</div><div><br /></div><div>Benar, ada tempat duduk khusus untuk golongan seperti ini, dan aku tak menulis persoalan begini, kalau teman ini menawarkan tempat duduk khusus... dan mengharapkan ucapan terimakseh.. memang nak kena pelempang</div><div><br /></div><div>Ini suatu contoh yang mudah. Dalam kehidupan kita seharian, berapa banyak kita telah memakan, meminum, memakai, mengambil dan menggunakan, hak dan keutamaan golongan yg lebih berhak, secara sengaja atau tidak sengaja..... dan pabila kita mengembalikan hak mereka....kita tanpa rasa malu dan segan, menagih ucapan terimakaseh dan senyuman ikhlas....</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Untuk teman yg tersebut... janganlah bimbang dan marah, tidak lama lagi mungkin dalam 10 tahun lagi, giliran anda pula untuk tidak mengucapkan terimakaseh, pabila ditawarkan tempat duduk di dalam kenderaan awam oleh orang yg lebih muda dan kuat...</div><div><br /></div><div>Dan anda boleh berkata dalam hati ketika itu..."Orang muda ni, susah sangat ke nak mintak maaf, kerana mengambil tempat duduk aku, dahla aku tua".......</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>orangmuarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16849462805557922318noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8142905978152678630.post-4735202513109394512011-04-06T15:32:00.002+08:002011-04-06T15:46:56.383+08:00Waking up after long hibernation....My fingers were just frozen dry for the past few month, my head and mind is full of ideas, but my heart and spirit just becoming lazy and lazier.. I have no inspiration nor mood to jot anything down, not even updating photos, which is the past time that I loved.<div><br /></div><div>For the past few months many interesting happened, either for my liking or not. Many miles I have walk, flews and walk again....but the the motivation is just not with me. Perhaps I leaved it somewhere among my old thing in the closet or it lost its way in following me.</div><div><br /></div><div>This is not like working or thing you do for your living... if you follow your motivation or mood to go to work, then you end up with nothing on your dinner table. That's what most us do nowadays... correct me if I am wrong.</div><div><br /></div><div>My blogging is free of charge, I get no monetary return... just as a side distraction from everyday dull life.. I don't know, I just don't get the satisfaction nor the pleasure after completing one or two input. Perhaps I have to fight and educate my motivation... not just simply it govern my mood.</div><div><br /></div><div>Okay, that's enough... With God will, I will start writing again.. and posting photo.... not for admiration or favorable return, but for me to fight and have control on my motivation....</div>orangmuarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16849462805557922318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8142905978152678630.post-7712025076488320712010-11-22T16:28:00.005+08:002010-11-23T14:52:29.696+08:00of an owl and a cat and me...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-ji_KDwbdyHRCaQl72n-VyTNQtQ_h57F2rovZktEKlywyScGNE94lWopr0QZmsThggSpEkQvJ3nsZcPbe3QcNBCb4wqOlxqFYGdiTCUSrBioMgvDYraCwU7yu-Q5Hc4WwFVPpyGvpGFRE/s1600/DSC00161v2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 348px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-ji_KDwbdyHRCaQl72n-VyTNQtQ_h57F2rovZktEKlywyScGNE94lWopr0QZmsThggSpEkQvJ3nsZcPbe3QcNBCb4wqOlxqFYGdiTCUSrBioMgvDYraCwU7yu-Q5Hc4WwFVPpyGvpGFRE/s400/DSC00161v2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542288621111403810" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzTKF1d8SZG-ZoLpJ_3bYT43p1DEc2sQyWHN2bZrYTc3_YEA06HVeuHvtlsUJ_p3K1Kzntrl0jUlC0lT5T4CCU84OSRk1EE1GH1HSS1S_a84rgB-gONY9j5HllhNIILIzSekLqUh3Y0GDq/s1600/DSC00164v2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 347px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzTKF1d8SZG-ZoLpJ_3bYT43p1DEc2sQyWHN2bZrYTc3_YEA06HVeuHvtlsUJ_p3K1Kzntrl0jUlC0lT5T4CCU84OSRk1EE1GH1HSS1S_a84rgB-gONY9j5HllhNIILIzSekLqUh3Y0GDq/s400/DSC00164v2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542288611940989746" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGBnGbYhvlCfgrBc2rW7qm1iRMWfReVVORP95hi29xMJxKl6Z3mUW_89y29xf6OhpTFL6vfICsIM7iNDfCbPyveggwHZH8n5m_5Z8qhY16DjeV8vsGnSTJwnrFBx3cicvun0XaxpxOPQ6-/s1600/DSC00165v2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 302px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGBnGbYhvlCfgrBc2rW7qm1iRMWfReVVORP95hi29xMJxKl6Z3mUW_89y29xf6OhpTFL6vfICsIM7iNDfCbPyveggwHZH8n5m_5Z8qhY16DjeV8vsGnSTJwnrFBx3cicvun0XaxpxOPQ6-/s400/DSC00165v2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542288607346955154" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU4kiBofdX8xodDzS7WNj0Mh3QOgmz0LcTmM0Xpc5qkGmyqhx7RuzWYLLcIOuixC7xigRrCgxhOSZs0GCYZA9FfoHZo5lVOBd1PUVW5LMnw-C33xg7rYASoLnYx-dbC3cN5Ohgil20oX0H/s1600/DSC00199v2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 346px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU4kiBofdX8xodDzS7WNj0Mh3QOgmz0LcTmM0Xpc5qkGmyqhx7RuzWYLLcIOuixC7xigRrCgxhOSZs0GCYZA9FfoHZo5lVOBd1PUVW5LMnw-C33xg7rYASoLnYx-dbC3cN5Ohgil20oX0H/s400/DSC00199v2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542288602272335858" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjif1ztfB7driP1HobCWmG8GarshUm5iHC6LbqDASsBbxuyVSarAGi4v3k792uEU8SyQNNbO8AeFHyCHn8GIMx-x-8voqVw_ajNLkkHX_GWNfpqgTw-xvqqU8ihgmtYGPRXgmUwq2j2xC4r/s1600/DSC00186v2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 293px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjif1ztfB7driP1HobCWmG8GarshUm5iHC6LbqDASsBbxuyVSarAGi4v3k792uEU8SyQNNbO8AeFHyCHn8GIMx-x-8voqVw_ajNLkkHX_GWNfpqgTw-xvqqU8ihgmtYGPRXgmUwq2j2xC4r/s400/DSC00186v2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542288596615253858" /></a><br /><div>Dear readers, these are actually the main reason I have to step up to DSLR.

Mungkin ramai kawan dan lawan akan bertanya, kenapa kau tak beli Nikon atau Canon? sepertimana dipakai oleh pengguna lain....<div><br /></div><div>Well, lain padang lain belalang, lain manusia lain kehendak, dan lain isi poket, lainla kemampuan. Hajat hati nak peluk gunung, apa kan daya nak panjat gunung pun dah tak larat.</div><div><br /></div><div>Aku punya spec mudah saja</div><div><ul><li>Kamera ni mesti entry level DSLR. Faktor kos mempengaruhi nafsu aku.</li><li>Kamera ini mesti mempunyai kelajuan yg tinggi, kalau boleh 10 fps dgn resolusi tinggi. Ini penting sebab aku dah start berminat nak tangkap foto action dan pergerakan laju. Aku dah mula bosan tangkap foto pemandangan dan macro. Kamera Lumix LX3 aku dah cukup bagus kalau nak tangkap foto makro atau pemandangan. Kecik tapi padu.</li><li>Dan kalau boleh, kamera ni bolehlah tangkap Full HD video. Tak payahla aku beli handycam.</li><li>Satu lagi, aku nak yg LCD screen kat belakang tu boleh swivel atau dipusing2kan ikut posisi yg kita nak. Dulu aku rasa tak penting, tapi bila aku nak ambil foto pelumba basikal di LTDL yg diadakan di KL, aku kena hampir baring sebab nak dapatkan sudut rendah.</li></ul><div>Maka aku pun mulalah surf net, baca review, tengok youtube dan mula2nya yg tersenarai adalah 550D dan D3100 yg agak baru. Antara dua tu aku dah terpikat dgn D31000 sebab faktor harga, dan ia adalah produk baru dgn teknologi yg terkini. Sony ni tak masuk list aku pun pada mula2nya walaupun apa yg aku nak, ada pada produk ni.</div><div><br /></div><div>So berjalan la aku ke Low Yat, Pertama survey harga. Aku dah boleh terima si D3100 walaupun dia takde ciri yg aku nak...janji kualiti dia bagus.</div><div><br /></div><div>Kemudian aku balik kampung sebab Iddul Adha, ronda2 sikit bandar Muar sambil nak pekena mee bandung + air batu bandung + rojak petis + apam balik. Aku pun singgahla kedai yg dulu aku beli Fz28 aku dulu, tanya2 pasal kamera. Kat kedai tu ada jual D3100, 550D, D90, 60D dan macam2 la..... adalah kat hujung tu Alpha, yang langsung tak menarik perhatian aku.</div><div><br /></div><div>Tanya tokay tu, apakah kamera DSLR yg sesuai dengan bajet sebegini.. dia syorkan 1000D, D3100 dan A33. Dan dia cakap A33 ni hot item la... banyak terjual. Aku tanya, dia ada ke ciri2 yg aku nak?.... aku rasa tak payah tulis sini, aku balik rumah,... 2 hari surf net cari review, comparison dll. </div><div><br /></div><div>Dan akhirnya aku beli SLT Alpha A33 sebab ciri2 di atas yg aku nak. Dr segi harga, dia sebanding D3100 tapi murah dr 550D. Nak cari flash third party dia agak susah, sbb dia punya hot shoe agak pelik, kena pakai adapter. Buat masa ni aku pakai internal aje la.</div><div><br /></div><div>Dia tak ada OVF, cuma ada EVF.. so kalau sesiapa suka OVF, kamera ini tak sesuai utk anda.</div><div><br /></div><div>Ciri tambahan yg dia ada</div><div><ul><li>Kamera ni ada autoHDR. Biasanya kita kalau nak buat HDR akan ambil continuous shot biasanya 3 kali dgn exposure berbeza, underexpose, normal dan overexpose. Hasilnya kita akan gabung di software PC. Dgn kamera ni, dia dah ada built in AutoHDR dan dia akan create HDR automatik.</li><li>Kamera ni ada Twilight shot. Biasanya kalau kita nak ambil shot dlm keadaan cahaya rendah, kita akan pakai tripod atau tangan kita mantap mcm Transformer. Dgn feature ini, kamera ni akan ambil multiple shot... 6 imej kut... kemudian dia akan superimpose masing2 utk hasilkan imej dgn noise yg rendah.</li><li>Ada panorama... ini pun biasanya kita pakai software utk efek ini. Kamera ni, kita just select panorama, tekan button, dia akan ambil multiple shot sambil kita gerakkan kamera ikut arah seperti dlm LCD. Bila siap, dia akan proses dan hasilnya, panorama foto.</li></ul><br /></div><div>Sebenarnya ada satu sebab utama kenapa aku kene bertukar ke DSLR.... sebab tu duduk kat pokok durian depan rumah aku....akan ku tulis dlm blog seterusnya...</div><div><br /></div></div>orangmuarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16849462805557922318noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8142905978152678630.post-15518285610832678892010-11-11T14:05:00.003+08:002010-11-16T17:11:49.330+08:00...of half empty glass...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBWe9VCdXwyD5wpC9Uwx9U7AwAAYExrDAj3dbAtC-lCFeDwOOn5OWPkXEzoB03QkDGymEI0veqpBcLPU8AgP6UPHu6kKckJgGyD8aWlhM1YiFcfhe4Hg48Oysv-ac04-Nwph_PvQSwbj14/s1600/P1050642v2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 278px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBWe9VCdXwyD5wpC9Uwx9U7AwAAYExrDAj3dbAtC-lCFeDwOOn5OWPkXEzoB03QkDGymEI0veqpBcLPU8AgP6UPHu6kKckJgGyD8aWlhM1YiFcfhe4Hg48Oysv-ac04-Nwph_PvQSwbj14/s400/P1050642v2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538169567725666578" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXuqhwyRn1PsUduZV3PryA1n0B8Jq9WEbVWn1H-I-CozAOdhSo7jNAmxdB7q_TZaKnlHcpL_4ktNMpRi22UFIAGB5N5S9RoWvIFXPkJnYl9SekrKEiDmhI4s6xHpnZT-V6fDAPW44Cbadp/s1600/P1050616v2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 280px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXuqhwyRn1PsUduZV3PryA1n0B8Jq9WEbVWn1H-I-CozAOdhSo7jNAmxdB7q_TZaKnlHcpL_4ktNMpRi22UFIAGB5N5S9RoWvIFXPkJnYl9SekrKEiDmhI4s6xHpnZT-V6fDAPW44Cbadp/s400/P1050616v2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538169564255374578" /></a><p class="MsoNormal">Is the glass half empty or half full? I think this is a most common and popular rhetoric expression to point out how a person perceived a situation, being optimist or pessimist. I won’t go to the details as I believe all of you know which portion of the glass referred to.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>During my younger day, when I first came across this idiom, I was astounded to the simplicity and exactness of the philosophical question. Usually they used it in motivational talk or workshop in order to motivate and gather positive energy in achieving the goal. Simple as it is, whoever seeing the half full regarded as optimist and considered as having positive attitude. While whoever seeing the half empty regarded the opposite,…being pessimist and blocker.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>Then as I get older, I realized that thing is not always easy to be classified as half full or empty. We are taught and conditioned since early age that, seeing half full glass is good, positive, optimist and so on. We were told story how successful inventor such as Thomas Edison succeed in inventing light bulb due to tireless effort and persistent determination, which attribute to half-full glass comparison.

Sebelum aku memilih dan membeli ikan segar di pasar, atau sebelum sarapan pagi nasi panas dengan ikan asam rebus , aku akan bersantai di tepian Pantai Leka.</div><div><br /></div><div>Kadang2 aku terleka melihat burung botak, burung bangau, burung2 kecik yg aku tak tahu spesis apa dan ikan belacak.

Ciri ni penting untuk mengambil foto seperti burung terbang, aksi yg pantas seperti sukan dll.</li><li>Superzoom sampai 24 kali optikal. Ini semua orang tahu, dengan ciri zoom yg tinggi, objek yg jauh boleh kita tangkap.</li><li>Swivel LCD skrin. Ini penting kalau nak tangkap imej dari sudut yg janggal. Contohnya nak menangkap imej dari sudut yg tinggi atau rendah. Aku pernah nak tangkap imej pelumba basikal masa Le Tour de Langkawi dari sudut rendah, terpaksa berbaring sikit.</li><li>Horse shoe untuk external flash. Kita boleh pakai third party punya flash. Internal flash dia tak cukup power. Bolehla pakai flash dgn diffuser utk dapatkan imej yg tak terlalu cerah,</li><li>Full HD video recording. Tak payah beli handycam.</li></ul><div><br /></div><div>Semua ciri2 di atas memang aku cari. Dan yang pentingnya, aku maseh nak menggunakan kamera Digital Superzoom bukan DSLR. Aku rasa belum masanya aku nak bertukar ke DSLR memandangkan kos dan juga agak susah nak menukar lensa dari macro dan wide angle ke superzoom. Aku perlukan kamera yg kecil, ringan, kos yg berpatutan dan tak memerlukan menukar2 lensa. Memanglah ia tak setanding DSLR dari segi kualiti imej, bak kata org putih "Good at everything, but an expert at nothing". Tapi tak apalah, aku boleh menerima kekurangannya dan mempergunakan sebaiknya kelebihannya.</div><div><br /></div></div><div>Nampaknya, Fz28 aku kene masuk Mudah.com kut.....</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>orangmuarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16849462805557922318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8142905978152678630.post-3588852681796625962010-10-30T13:43:00.003+08:002010-10-30T13:52:55.532+08:00Blog tentang Excel Spreadsheet...Aku ada terfikir, kalau aku boleh berkongsi dengan sesiapa sahaja yang membaca blog aku, tentang Excel spreadsheet.

Cuma aku perlu customize beberapa tempat utk menepati kehendak aku.

Sejak bulai Mei rasanya, kalau dilihat dari blog terakhir aku. Aku bukannya tiada idea atau cerita nak dicoretkan... cuma aku M A L A S. Itulah jawapan yg tepat, nak disalahkan tak punya masa, aku ada banyak masa, takde layan Internet, ada Broadband 3G walaupun kekadang perkhidmatannya agak mendukacitakan.<div><br /></div><div>Aku sudah jadi malas, itu yg aku boleh katakan. Banyak benda yg nak aku coretkan dalam tempoh tersebut, kalau aku tuliskan sekarang.. akan jadi cerita basi dan hilang kehangatannya. Dan susah jugak nak menulis kembali, sebab emosi, perasaan, dan "bau" cerita tersebut dan lenyap. </div><div><br /></div><div>Pengajarannya, kalau anda sedang bersemangat dan berselera utk menulis, tulis segera, jangan tangguh2... nanti hilang kehangatannya.

You can be working for 10-20 years, hardworking, loyal, productive during your productive age, never commit any misconduct,.. but when the management decide to lay off due low turnover of whatever reason... they will do it, with the shortest notice and hiring consultancy company to convey the execution decree, with professional way of course...</div><div><br /></div><div>Ryan job in dealing with the peoples the company gonna lay off require him to be calm, professional, in control, empathetic and compassionate... And the two last skills, he need to do it skillfully false...Basically he's interest is only his jet-setter lifestyle, single, non-commitment and air travel mileage prize...And when a young executive try introducing on-line video conferencing method in doing the job, Ryan felt his lifestyle will be threatened...no more air travel mileage and luxury hotel life....So he decide to coach and train the young executive, Natalie, on how things was done in real world.. I don't want to elaborate further.. you can catch up on wiki or just watch the movie...</div><div><div><br /></div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkF_U_XRUNKj0lGCBCvos9oap_bRKu2Nf4F88w_UXzCjsQIT6nV5onTCuKLF9EbQIMl_iAmXw7BMSpTZ5u6mlDDDsVYMtu5qf7gheDSq7O7yZB82T8B4_mGARYpSSythW9kKMEre13lqsl/s1600/P1030994.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkF_U_XRUNKj0lGCBCvos9oap_bRKu2Nf4F88w_UXzCjsQIT6nV5onTCuKLF9EbQIMl_iAmXw7BMSpTZ5u6mlDDDsVYMtu5qf7gheDSq7O7yZB82T8B4_mGARYpSSythW9kKMEre13lqsl/s400/P1030994.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466331943927241490" /></a><br /></div><div>When we do thing or say thing with false compassion and fake empathetic..... then wait when then will come a time, for retribution to teach you a lesson....</div><div>And sadly for Ryan, he has to compassion himself when he found out that the lady he's meeting all this while, is someone not too far different from himself, in term of falsify the perception of others feeling....what goes around will come around...</div><div><br /></div><div>and after that, Ryan becoming a better man,..less selfish, give thing he want the most to people who really deserved, write good recommendation for his colleague... and still up in the air, but probably with different perspective...</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioG14rOHwu7yJwiMSIE5JHOU3Uesxowv9YlSBTPGwGcwzhTwiJfHlGDc4oTzNCPsXij61mGnKjQIGYtqnXrB-VljJdZX5y1yFrPdLFi9h9RudNd-Gyy-xeKIuFcP7uD0HKOPVRHsAuIsTZ/s1600/P1040004.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioG14rOHwu7yJwiMSIE5JHOU3Uesxowv9YlSBTPGwGcwzhTwiJfHlGDc4oTzNCPsXij61mGnKjQIGYtqnXrB-VljJdZX5y1yFrPdLFi9h9RudNd-Gyy-xeKIuFcP7uD0HKOPVRHsAuIsTZ/s400/P1040004.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466331935462443346" /></a><br /></div><div>As said earlier, this movies is about the current job uncertainty in US..... and probably want to shed some positive light and enlighten the spectator, so we can better understand and show genuine empathy to anyone who has been unfortunately taken back from their livelihood....</div><div><br /></div><div>I really don't like the dialog "I am sorry to inform you that your current position is no longer available in this company..."</div><div><br /></div><div>I prefer (taken from wiki)</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 19px; font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;"><i>"Tonight most people will be welcomed home by jumping dogs & squealing kids.

Setiba di hotel, masuk pintu yg berpusing2, Mr security say hello. Waktu di dalam lif yg kecil, rasanya muat orang sebesar aku cuma 3 orang, terpampang nota bertulis "Mogok umum sistem pengangkutan di Athens pada hari Selasa 27/4, bermula jam 11 dan berakhir jam 17". Gawat ni, sebelum ni ada jugak mogok, tetapi hanya melibatkan pemandu taksi. Aku tak naik sangat taksi, sebab tambangnya agak mahal... kalau naik hari2.. boleh bankrap aku.</div><div style="text-align: left;clear: both; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;clear: both; ">Sewaktu pulang dari Carrefour yg tak jauh dr Hotel, aku bertanya dengan pekerja Hotel, mogok ni akan melibatkan sistem Metro tak (mcm LRT dan Komuter la)? Dia menjawab, mogok ini akan melibatkan semua sistem pengangkutan. Aduh, kacau.... setiap hari aku harus menaiki 3 metro untuk sampai ke ibupejabat pelanggan... Omonia ke Monastiraki... kemudian tukar ke Metro line 2, Monastiraki ke Dukissis Plankentisis... dari situ tukar naik urban railway (yang seperti KLIA rail) ke Kiffisias... dan seterusnya berjalan dlm 200m ke opis customer. Perjalanan mengambil masa 45 minit hingga ke 1 jam. Nampak gaya, aku kene turun awal esok... jam 7 lebih dah kena keluar rasanya. Dan waktu pulang, pasti padat macam sardin.</div><div style="text-align: left;clear: both; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;clear: both; ">Minggu lepas waktu aku ke Syntagma (salah satu stesen Metro yg terbesar) ada kesan2 demo dan pendemo yg berkhemah di situ... berhadapan bangunan parlimen. Ekonomi negara ini semakin parah. Dan dengar khabar, pemerintah minta bantuan IMF... dan seperti biasa, IMF akan kenakan pelbagai syarat yg menyusahkan rakyat.....menaikkan kadar cukai, kerja lebih masa, pengurangan perbelanjaan, pemotongan subsidi dan bantuan tertentu.... Rakyat di sini marah kerana pemerintah yg terdahulu berbelanja terlampau boros dan banyak berlaku korupsi, terutama sewaktu projek Olimpik Athens. Wang pinjaman digunakan sewenang2nya dan akhirnya akibat kerajaan yg tak cekap dan amanah, rakyat yg terpaksa menderita. Hutang belanja olimpik sampai sekarang belum selesai. </div><div style="text-align: left;clear: both; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;clear: both; ">Jurang antara yg kaya dan miskin keterlaluan... sikaya minum di cafe2 mewah, naik kereta mewah, .. si miskin meminta sedekah di sana sini. Penagih dadah dan org yg tiada rumah ramai... tidur di pinggir2 jalan, di kaki lima bangunan... di malam yg sangat sejuk dan berangin begini. Agaknya kalau Aristotle atau Socrates boleh melihat ini semua, pasti mereka akan sedih.....</div><div style="text-align: left;clear: both; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;clear: both; ">Bila aku berbicara dgn org tempatan di sini , mereka sudah cukup muak dan tak ambil kisah lagi tentang siapa nak mentadbir negara......sistem pendidikan mereka merosot, graduan yg keluar tidak mendapat kerja....</div><div style="text-align: left;clear: both; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;clear: both; ">Dan esok sistem pengangkutan awam akan mogok... mungkin kerana membantah kenaikan cukai atau pemotongan faedah. Baru2 ini di ibupejabat pelanggan, mereka mengedarkan flyer dr kesatuan... diberi aku ambil, walaupun sepatah haram aku tak faham tulisan berformula matematik. Ada taklimat dari kesatuan, aku dok situ buat2 macam faham, sebab dah tak ada tempat lain. Isikandungannya, majikan akan memotong bonus sebulan sempena Krismas dan sebulan lagi untuk Easter.

Seakan2 sudah mati, hilang punca dan kering idea. Sebenarnya, waktu aku ke Vietnam kali kedua tempohari, aku berniat nak menulis.. tapi hangat2 tahi ayam... atau mungkin tanggungjawab tugasan lebih menuntut tumpuan... <div><br /></div><div>Aku sekarang berada di bumi Yunani, kira2 sudah 3 minggu. InsyaAllah hujung bulan ini, aku pulang. Orang kata menarik di sini, memang benar kalau untuk maksima 2 minggu pertama... dan kalau datang untuk hanya melancung atau untuk seronok2. Datang kerana untuk melaksanakan tugasan... ada pahit dan manisnya. Sementara aku kat sini, baik juga guna peluang hari minggu untuk melihat2 bumi yg terkenal hebat dengan mitos dan dongeng dewa-dewa, dan sejarah awal tamaddun manusia.</div><div><br /></div><div>Hari Sabtu lepas, teman sekerja aku dr UK, mengajak aku untuk jalan2 ke pantai Voula A'. Aku pun tak tahu buat apa kalau hari minggu, asyik jalan ke Plaka je, bosan.. penuh pelancung. Kami pun bertemu jam 10.30 am di stesyen Syntagma.. dari situ kami menaiki tram ke perhentian terakhir... dan harus berjalan kaki lagi sekitar 10 minit utk sampai ke pantai tersebut. Komen aku tentang pengankutan tram ni... ia suatu pengangkutan awam yg sangat bagus, mungkin kurang cepat dari keretapi bawah tanah, tapi cekap dan mampu membawa muatan yg banyak. Kenapa Malaysia tak perkenalkan sistem tram ni? tak perlu buat rel terowong bawah tanah, tak perlu buat rel atas jejambat mcm LRT... tapi menggunakan rel di sebelah jalan biasa. Aku rasa belanja untuk bina sistem tram ni lebih murah dari sistem macam LRT.</div><div><br /></div><div>Pantainya berbatu2, tak banyak berpasir macam pantai kat tempat kita.... airnya jerneh sekali. Kalau bukan kerana cuaca dingin dan berangin, nak jugak aku mandi sekejap. Ada jugak orang tempatan yg mandi, tapi tak ramai. Mungkin musim panas nanti, ramai la ikan duyung kut.</div><div><br /></div><div>Masa aku nak turun tangga ke arah satu pantai di mana kawan aku berada, ada seekor anjing putih besar... menaiki tangga dr arah pantai. Aku bagi laluan kat dia, manalah tahu nanti dia nak gesel2 kat kaki aku, kes naya. Aku tengok di mulutnya, ada sebiji batu agak besar. Anjing ni rupanya menggonggong sebijik batu, dan dibawa ke atas. Aku turun bawah, berjumpa kawan aku... dan dia tengah sibuk mencari2 batu yg menarik. Katanya dia nak bawa balik ke UK.</div><div><br /></div><div>Dia minta aku mengambil fotonya... sementara di duduk di tangga, aku keluarkan kamera dan terus tangkap gambar berlatarkan pemandangan yg cantek....dan ada seekor anjing putih di belakang, merenung kami. Aku rasa anjing tu syak kawan aku curi batu kat pantai tu. Kami beredar menuju ke arah lain. Dan dari jauh, aku lihat anjing putih tadi mencari2 sesuatu di dalam air... dia cari batu yg kawan aku ambil mungkin.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>orangmuarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16849462805557922318noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8142905978152678630.post-72221831975166181782009-10-17T17:00:00.009+08:002009-10-29T20:48:12.391+08:00Fishes on treadmill...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn62RmgunqcVv_s7kOu0mhrQbBAfXyeOVvvBBsD6ja9O1mERiJbJEsTqNJ8yIYGXBvtN44NHHrPsSVIU1YU4Gz81vERjI-z-kmvGGhaZjWYdoxQiByn-3oTwyUYnVP95uDVwj0YshVdd90/s1600-h/P1060817.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 226px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn62RmgunqcVv_s7kOu0mhrQbBAfXyeOVvvBBsD6ja9O1mERiJbJEsTqNJ8yIYGXBvtN44NHHrPsSVIU1YU4Gz81vERjI-z-kmvGGhaZjWYdoxQiByn-3oTwyUYnVP95uDVwj0YshVdd90/s400/P1060817.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397997131235992450" /></a>Started last few week, I need to get back doing some exercises, especially on weekend.

Perhaps they are avoiding being carried away by the current and have to stay in the lake, where's the predator lurking.

Or perhaps I am getting older, slow in response and retaliation, less sudden surge of energy to shout or being vocal... making this inferior to become good moral value, p a t i e n c e.</div><div><br /></div><div>Since he's insisted, I just told him that patience is something that cannot be learned easily. Life experience, hardship, good example from other people and time will only expedite the learning process. </div><div><br /></div><div>Most good moral values require us to take action either verbal or physical. Such as generosity, we need to take action by making contribution either material or moral. And kindness, we need to show or kindness by being polite, smile a lot, talk nicely etc. In short, our muscle need to be in motion, in order to generate good moral action.</div><div><br /></div><div>Patience is totally different game. Being patience, means abstain yourself from making any action, physically or verbally, against misfortune, pain, hardship, annoyance, intimidation, unfairness, criticism, mistreatment and all other negative thing.....</div><div><br /></div><div>For me, real patience is more than that. It's something to do with inner strength and virtue for abstaining or refraining yourself in taking action or retaliation to the inflicting subject, while you are in power or highly capable in defeating the subject.</div><div><br /></div><div>But normally we use the term patience, when we know we're losing, or incapable of doing anything. That's not patience, but a kind of terminology to make ourselves feel better....</div><div><br /></div><div>..... and about my friend, I think he need to talk to wiser people......</div><div><br /></div>orangmuarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16849462805557922318noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8142905978152678630.post-90016596201833590742009-10-13T21:34:00.005+08:002009-10-13T22:23:16.055+08:00TUDM open day...and Thunderbird air show<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP1_c3UCBEKo404bcvoABxeCP1urSUTJWSRoM-xvhoy0w7bibMY2fOWQ0ybbD-krpJoDGsJwucLfm3Q2qBpLnLO1a6RSuhATlT2R1ThiQgR6NLxGiyTeiQOhLeEEOJWSH34Xho0kPWmNhI/s1600-h/P1060712.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP1_c3UCBEKo404bcvoABxeCP1urSUTJWSRoM-xvhoy0w7bibMY2fOWQ0ybbD-krpJoDGsJwucLfm3Q2qBpLnLO1a6RSuhATlT2R1ThiQgR6NLxGiyTeiQOhLeEEOJWSH34Xho0kPWmNhI/s400/P1060712.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392079952524872994" /></a>Two week ago I managed to witness the performance of the famous US Air force acrobatic team, the Thunderbird.

KLIA has taken over the function of the main airport while LCCT has played as budget airline airport.<div><br /></div><div>And to my surprise, Subang airport has been renovated and look quite nice from the outside.

If not, I will be surely lock down, quarantined somewhere in Hanoi medical detention facility.</div><div><br /></div><div>The day before that, we visit the hospital but the specialist wasn't in.

The purpose is to seek help and assistance from the Almighty in this time of desperation and calamity, due to H1N1 widespread epidemic. On that day, 14 people have died......<div><br /></div><div>A few month ago, perhaps all of us civilian would think, this is just a normal short term outbreak, localized in far country, and won't hurt us or our family. The government issue instruction on media, on how to minimise the risk of getting infection, such as wearing mask, washing hands, stay away from large crowd etc...</div><div><br /></div><div>Perhaps the best course of action taken is, conduct the root cause analysis of the pandemic or epidemic..... the major culprit is no other than swine. Since the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Nipah</span> virus outbreak a few years ago, the major vector or breeding ground for the virus is the swine. That does not count with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">JE</span>, which also closely related with swine. </div><div><br /></div><div>One of the main reason why the first outbreak start in Mexico, is because there are many large industrial type pig farming in the country. Mostly operate and invested by giant American company, for the purpose of exporting pork for their own consumption..... not so different from our country, instead of north, the major consumer is in the south. </div><div><br /></div><div>I watched <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Natgeo</span> documentary on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Nipah</span> virus outbreak not so long ago... scientist found out that the virus spread from the infected fruit bat to the swine (via the fruits they eat) then to human. Once it's jump to human, it began spreading within human. They also found out that the virus have been within the fruit bat for long time, and seem the fruit bat have the ability to suppress the virus. Same case with H1N1, it's a concoction of bird flu virus, human flu and swine flu... all brewed inside swine biological lab.</div><div><br /></div><div>Swine and human share some common biological system.... any pathogen, virus, bacteria which can infect swine and adapt to the biological system..... have high probability to jump and infect human. In other word, swine is a perfect training ground for these organism to invade human. And swine is bridgging all the sickness or virus which so far limited to other species, with human. Who knows what else lurking, breeding and staying dormant in other animals... just waiting the right time to make contact with the swine, and start other infectious diseases.</div><div><br /></div><div>People may say, human have consume pig since the beginning of time, why the outbreak just start now. Perhaps they need to read history, there were several outbreak related to swine, but probably during that time the scientist don't have the technology like now, in detecting the virus. And before this pig farming was done traditionally ... not like nowadays, hundred of acres of area for industrial pig farming for the purpose of shareholder profit.</div><div><br /></div><div>People also may say, this is the good time for us to say that <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">why</span> pork consumption is forbidden in Islam, even touching it. H1N1 outbreak show clearly why pork is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">haram</span>. And there are many scientific justification I read in the Internet in supporting the above.</div><div><br /></div><div>I don't agree with this and why...... let say in not so far future, scientist created genetically modified pig, which stop any pathogen <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">transmigration</span> to human, which are very clean and does not produce high toxic waste, which does not have tape worm or any parasite..... Is it during that time pig is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">OK</span> for us to consume... due to our earlier reasoning is being totally squashed.</div><div><br /></div><div>Why don't we just said "It's against Islam and God <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">forbid</span> it"..... full stop. No need for justification or scientific proof.... There are always human who like eating pork,... even if their close friend or family died of H1N1 or <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Nipah</span>.....</div><div><br /></div><div>Once, my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Vietnamese</span> friend asked me, "So you Muslim don't eat pork, because of H1N1".... I answered, "No, I don't eat pork because it's against Muslim religion and God forbid it"..... he silent, and then ask me again "What is God?'......This time, I am the one who silent.. I forgot that most of the population are non believer and don't have any religion....</div>orangmuarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16849462805557922318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8142905978152678630.post-34011304617538926182009-08-03T16:09:00.007+08:002009-08-04T07:39:44.910+08:00aliens among us...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtQ5IOKTVaZySP1-rsbg0YWljqEjjrN4gqw8y4I0z21EmY23izODElQAqq9utloehERE0YH1pCHc5Xuik-eUupUeiQstoNV7MOjJPcauZC4j5-EyWQ2oabYvvMgGCJMwzj_Rg4n6msrkmQ/s1600-h/P1050954.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtQ5IOKTVaZySP1-rsbg0YWljqEjjrN4gqw8y4I0z21EmY23izODElQAqq9utloehERE0YH1pCHc5Xuik-eUupUeiQstoNV7MOjJPcauZC4j5-EyWQ2oabYvvMgGCJMwzj_Rg4n6msrkmQ/s400/P1050954.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365699639429062994" /></a><div><br /></div>Recently I had quite a long telephone conversation with a close friend. Many thing were spoken and discuss, some with certain level of seriousness while others.. are just plain jokes.<div><br /></div><div>He did mention, before this he just thought that all of us human are merely the same, although not exactly similar, but the difference or delta in the level of attitude and behaviour almost the same. But now he realized, after turning to the age of wisdom and point of no return.... there are too many kind of people, in term of behaviour, attitude, characters etc.<div><br /></div><div>In short, there are many so called aliens living among us, either we realized, accept or not. We do not need a warp drive spacecraft like the Enterprise to take us million of light years away, to far side galaxy for us to make contact and interact with aliens. Open our door each morning and we'll meet them on the road, office, supermarket, kedai makan and so on...<br /><div><br /></div><div>When Gene Roddenberry created Star Trek, probably his intention is to reflect mirror image of human character in the form of space aliens from other galaxy. The infamous Klingon species with their sole purpose to expand the empire with whatever means, and uphold their honour and respect. For them, other species is insignificant and not brave enough to govern anything. </div><div><br /></div><div>What about a few of us, or probably a part of us who share the same idea and attitude... thinking other peoples who's not at par with our standard and academic level, not qualify enough to handle their responsibilty, or worst, giving their opinion...</div><div><br /></div><div>The Vulcan and Romulan once come from the same root, separated and become rival due to different idea on dealing with emotion. One side believe in emotion suppression and control, following logic... while the later believe in total freedom of emotion.... Both are not so different from us....</div><div><br /></div><div>And what about the Borg, who's objective to create higher level of perfection, according to their perception, and assimilate others who's they see fit.... with or without their subject consent. Objection is irrelevant....for them, their idea, ther perception and their way, is the upmost correct way.</div><div><br /></div><div>I could sense a few Borg among us, who's disregard other opinion and shut the door for any negotiation... for them, resistance is futile....</div></div></div>orangmuarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16849462805557922318noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8142905978152678630.post-17065549394958450442009-07-24T10:29:00.008+08:002009-07-26T15:33:55.276+08:00happy people and unhappy people...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy9nrY7f4zuc84dwDb-c_TwaD55s2c2JPXxQhjxZ4_91FTvzJ1e3GOs_EMH4cCSbKQsVLI6wDUoBoNQXEiSkWyiMFIBN8UH4hj0Zl5A2PCvyVB_omgBV4N735iLzPqbaZC4klWmJU32hzH/s1600-h/P1050654.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy9nrY7f4zuc84dwDb-c_TwaD55s2c2JPXxQhjxZ4_91FTvzJ1e3GOs_EMH4cCSbKQsVLI6wDUoBoNQXEiSkWyiMFIBN8UH4hj0Zl5A2PCvyVB_omgBV4N735iLzPqbaZC4klWmJU32hzH/s400/P1050654.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362668784025547506" /></a><br /><div><br /></div>Sometime why is it so hard for some people to admit their mistakes and ask for forgiveness. Probably for them, talking nicely and sweetly to the person involved, is enough as a representation of their acceptance for their mistake. Adding more effortless lies and misleading information eventhough the sign of retribution is visible must be less ardous task than expressing for simple apology.<div><br /></div><div>Maybe now we are living in the world of deception and secrecy, where almost everything we see and hear, is not totally what it seem to be. Truth become a very alien word,... invaluable for person who's seeking for it... but become mocekry and joke, for people use lie to cover other lie... </div><div><br /></div><div>Secret, if it does not carry the weight of death or faith, should only be burdened on the adult who's conducting the deed not to other innocent soul. </div><div><br /></div><div>Wise man say, "happy people happy when they see other people happy, and they are unhappy when other people unhappy.
