A message by George Carlin

Salaam alayk...
Dah bersawang rupa-rupanya blog aku ni, kesian betul. Oleh kerana kekeringan idea nak menulis, I just want to share this note from George Carlin with all of you.

This is a master piece. If you have not read it take the time to read it now. If you have read it take time to read it again!

GEORGE CARLIN (His wife recently died...)

Isn't it amazing that George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent...and so very appropriate


A Message by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more,
but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...


Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

George Carlin

Didn't We Almost Have It All?


Hhmmm...awat lah duk teringat zaman-zaman remaja dolu-dolu ni? Tengahari semalam masa pergi jemput Harraz balik sekolah, di radio mix.fm main lagu ni: Didn't We Almost Have It All by Whitney Houston. Tu yang dok teringat waktu lagu ni tengah famous-amous, rasa-rasanya tu zaman remaja dok tengah sekolah lagi, form 5 kalau tak silap hehehe ni nak copy & paste lirik lagu ni. Nak bubuh video clip, tak reti-reti lagi lagu mana nak buat. Sabaaaq laa noo? Lirik dah ada...Laayyaaaan :-) nyanyi sendiri lah! hehehe


Didn't We Almost Have It All - Whitney Houston


Remember when we held on in the rain
The night we almost lost it
Once again
We can take the night into tomorrow
Living on feelings
Touching you I feel it all again


Chorus:

Didn't we almost have it all
When love was all we had worth giving
The ride with you was worth the fall my friend
Loving you makes life worth living
Didn't we almost have it all
The night we held on till the morning
You know you'll never love that way again
Didn't we almost have it all


The way you used to touch me felt so fine
We kept our hearts together down the line
A moment in the soul can last forever
Comfort and keep us
Help me bring the feeling back again


Chorus

Didn't we have the best of times
When love was young and new
Couldn't we reach inside and find
The world of me and you
We'll never lose it again
Cause once you know what love is
You never let it end


Chorus


Wwaaahh...touching...gitu! hahaha

Kisah Harith dan ular.

Alhamdulillah, its been a month since I last updated this blog and anak-anakpun dah kembali ke sekolah semula dan entah bila pula akan ku mulakan kuliah-kuliah pengajianku di Masjid Darul Ehsan Taman TAR & juga Surau Bukit Mulia ni nanti.

Sepanjang cuti sekolah baru-baru ni, banyak aktiviti dapat dilaksanakan. My diet program started in November 2008 dan sehingga kini baru hilang 4 kilo sahaja. Alhamdulillah, I lost 4kg in 2 months. Tak disangka pulak, walaupun cuma kurang berat sebanyak 4kg tapi siaz baju dah kurang 3 saiz. Saiz seluar kurang 2 saiz. Semangat haruuuusszz kental! Hehehe

My eldest son, Harith is now in kuantan, temankan neninya (nenek)...di kampung. Dia baru habis menduduki peperiksaan SPM & now he's taking his driving license there in kuantan. Macam-macam pula kejadian Harith hadapi semenjak dia tinggal di rumah mak. Kejadian rumah dimasuki ular hitam sebanyak 3 kali agak memberi tanda tanya kepada kami semua. Terutamanya ular dewasa berwarna hitam memasuki bilik utama melalui tingkap dan aku menyusuh mak memberi salam (salaam Nabi Sulaiman kerena Nabi Sulaiman alaihisalam sangat-sangat terkenal di kalangan binatang mahupun makhluk halus) sepertimana yang telah diajar oleh guru-guru agamaku di kuliah-kuliah yang lalu. Kembali kepada cerita ular, setelah mak memberi salam sebanyak 3 kali dan menyuruh ular itu keluar dari bilik tersebut...ular itu tadi seperti mendengar arahan mak. Dia terus saja keluar melalui jalan yang sama ketika dia masuk ke bilik tersebut. Kata ustaz-ustaz kami, jika perkara seperti itu berlaku...maka 'ular' tadi itu bukanlah ular sebenar, malah ianya adalah jelmaan makhluk halus (Jin) dalam bentuk binatang yakni ular hitam.

Seminggu setelah kejadian itu, lagi sekali seekor ular yang sama jenis (hitam) tapi bersaiz agak kecil & halus. Ular kecil tersebut masuk ke dalam dapur melalui pintu masuk lalu terus menyorok di bawah dapur masak (stove) yang Arwah Ayah letakkan di atas lantai berlapikkan pangkin kecil. Alhamdulillah, Harith tak panik dan dia menalifonku untuk bertanyakan apa yang perlu mereka buat. Setelah mengajar dia beberapa 'teknik mengusir ular', tapi ular kecil itu tadi masih lagi berdegil sehingga lah abang ku sampai di rumah mak dan mengambil sebatang buluh (bamboo) untuk cuba menghalau ular kecil itu tadi. Tapi malangnya, ular tersebut tiba-tiba hilang terus dari pandangan.

Keesokan harinya, ular kecil itu kembali lagi ke dalam rumah. Kali ini, si kecil yang bersaiz ibujari orang dewasa dan panjangnya dalam 1 meter masuk ke dalam salah sebuah bilik mandi di rumah mak. Athea, anak saudaraku (yang juga baru habis SPM) masuk ke bilik air tersebut dan menjumpai ular tadi terbelit di batang paip bawah sinki. Setelah Harith memberi salam beberapa kali, dia masih berdegil. Lalu Harith mengambil batang buluh (tongkat semambu) dan mengetuk ular itu sampai mati. Malam tersebut, Harith mimpi ada sepasang ular hitam datang menyerangnya. Inilah yang sedikit sebanyak merisaukan aku. Jika melalui pengajian rawatan Islam yang pernah ku pelajari, mimpikan ular hitam...tafsirannya adalah perbuatan 'sihir'...satu persoalan yang perlu aku ajukan kepada guru-guru pengajian rawatan Islamku. Sekianlah sudah kisah Harith dan ular. Na'uzubillahi minzalik, wallahu'alam bi sawab.
