How I Wish...

How I wish I have more money. I mean cash money. Not that I am ungrateful with what The Almighty has given me. It's just that I wish to have more money to settle many problems, to fulfill many dreams and to accomplish many tasks.

I  wish I have more money so that I can keep more than the RM2K I set aside every month. I wish to have a bigger home than the terrace house I bought with the government loan, and that means I wish to buy it in cash. I wish to have another car though I am very thankful of my Persona which I paid in cash four years ago.It was my birthday present for myself. I really wish I earn double my pay now so that I can buy another present of the same kind for my coming birthday.

I dream of beautiful things that I will not feel guilty buying. I mean, right now I would feel guilty if I were to buy a pair of shoes that cost more than RM500.  My shoe limit is RM350.  Beyond that,  guilt would engulf me. I dream of handbags that cost RM 2K. The most expensive handbag I own is RM500. Beyond that, is another case of feeling guilty.

It would be a real comfort if I were to have more money in the sense I can help my eldest daughter in UK, because she is pursuing her doctorate without any scholarship. I would like to help my second daughter who has just started working, pay her study loan which is around RM4K. That is the amount she has to pay for securing a second class upper when she graduated. Thank God she was diligent enough to earn that grade. If she were to get lesser than second class upper she would have to pay double. And I would love to help my youngest daughter open a food outlet of her choice as she is now a demi chef in a high-end restaurant in Bangsar.

I do not think it is wrong to wish for more money. And I wish for the money to be earned according to religion and law. I wish for my own money the halal way.

Many people say money cannot buy happiness but it certainly solves many problems, fulfills many dreams and helps to accomplish many tasks. Happiness is how you perceive life and no one can determine your happiness because you are the one living your life.

Pandai

Cakap pandai.
Pandai bercakap.

Hampir serupa tapi sangat tak sama.
Berbeza makna berlainan hakikat.

Yang cakap pandai, seringnya mengkritik peribadi orang, selalu memberi komen-komen negatif terhadap usaha orang dan sangat pandai mengeluarkan perkataan-perkataan yang menggambarkan bahawa dia lebih tahu daripada orang lain.
Tapi, kalau suruh buat apa yang dia komen dan kritik tu, bukannya tahu pun.Cakap aja lebih.

Yang pandai bercakap, boleh diasuh/disuruh masuk pertandingan bahas/debate, pidato, pantun, choral speaking/public speaking, syarahan agama atau menjadi pengacara majlis.
Golongan ini menggunakan bakat anugerah Allah untuk memperkembang potensi diri,menaikkan nama sekolah/institusi/negeri/negara dan mencari rezeki.

Jadilah yang pandai bercakap BUKAN yang cakap pandai.

Alangkah...

Alangkah mudahnya kalau episod kehidupan boleh dilakar bagai episod cerpen yg memenangi anugerah.
Alangkah senangnya kalau watak-watak manusia yang ditemui boleh digarap bagai watak novella terlaris di pasaran.
Sayangnya episod kehidupan ini rahsia DIA maha segala. Sayangnya watak-watak manusia yang kutemui kadangnya sukar kunilai dari zahirnya semata.

Terlajak kata

Salah seorang GPK bertanya apa yang berlaku sebenarnya kerana dia mendengar orang bercakap bahawa aku mengamuk di bilik guru & mengeluarkan perkataan yang pedas yang membuatkan orang-orang tertentu jadi gusar.Dia bertanya kerana mahu tahu cerita dari pihak aku pula.

Kalau dah cakap siang tak pandang-pandang, cakap malam tak dengar-dengar, face the music then.

 Kalau mereka tak tahu menjaga lidah dari bercakap bukan-bukan tentang aku, kenapa pulak gusar bila lidah aku lebih tajam?

Kalau mereka boleh sesuka hati bermulut celupar kenapa kaget bila mulut aku lebih berbisa?

You asked for it man!! Even walls have ears, so watch out what you say.

Hanya kerana setiap minggu aku dilantik sebagai pengacara  untuk semua majlis rasmi sekolah, maka dengan lancangnya sekumpulan guru lelaki melabel aku "gila mike". Kau ingat aku lantik diri aku sendiri ke jadi pengacara majlis rasmi yang bersambung-sambung setiap minggu? Kau ingat aku teruja sangat ke jadi MC kat sekolah? Majlis antarabangsa pun aku dah pernah jadi MC.Majlis yang dikendalikan dalam dwi bahasa sekaligus pun aku dah berkali-kali buat.Kau jadi tukang kemas dewan pun tak layak!

Bila aku cakap aku pulangkan perkataan gila itu kepada yang berkata, kepada kaum keluarganya, tahu pulak takut.

Bila aku cabar suruh ambil alih tugas aku jadi pengacara  untuk dua majlis besar yang akan berlangsung dua minggu lagi tak ada pula yang berani.Cubalah, aku boleh aja buat tugas lain.

Hello!! Kalau muka macam korang, yang hanya tahu menceceh di belakang waktu Pengetua berucap, baiklah kau cermin diri kau dulu sebelum mengata aku. Dan kalau bercermin, muka kau bukan kacak mana pun.Muka tak lawa, budi bahasa tak ada, kau ingat aku nak respect?Kau ingat gred gaji kau tinggi dari aku, kau dah hebat sangat?Apatah lagi gred gaji kau sama dengan aku, lagi tak ada apa aku nak pandang.

Aku tak pandai mencari sengketa, tapi kalau ada yang memulakan, aku  tak akan undur walau setapak.

Pantun Ironis

Belajar tinggi-tinggi
Sijil ijazah bergulung-gulung
Tapi kalau tiada budi pekerti
Tak ada siapa yg akan sanjung.
