One Year Out, Another Year In

-English Version-
(BM version beneath)

Within a week, 2009 will walk away leaving us with mixed memories. Some may find it an interesting year, or a honeymoon year, or a year where a family has begun, or a very setback year, or a torturous year or a year of full-of-failure.

Whatever people may find what 2009 was, I found it with mixed experience. But one bad thing with the year is I didn't go any better compared to 2008, but even worse. The main thing was I didn't set any goal for 2009, and that made me lost without a guidance. It taught me a lesson, when one could at least make a resolution, I didn't make any at all. My bad...

So, I have a list of the things I would like to do here. Over 3 or 4 things featured in my resolution for 2010. I hope I can achieve at least 90% of the goals set. I hope the incoming 2010 will make me a better person, compared to this somewhat-a-failure 2009.

Thanks to my family for being there to support me. Aminuddin, my housemate, for sharing and caring. Redza, my classmate, for being a partner. Dr. Azita Amrin, my PE lecturer, for being my mentor. Mr. Manoharan and other lecturers for showing me the lights through my career, throughout 2009. Your good deeds will be embedded deep in my heart forever.

Hopefully 2010 will be a better year for me...

-Versi BM-

Dalam masa seminggu, 2009 akan berlalu meninggalkan kita dengan pelbagai kenangan. Ada yang merasakan ianya tahun yang menarik, tahun 'berbulan madu', tahun sebuah keluarga mula terbina, tahun mengecewakan, tahun menyeksakan atau tahun yang penuh dengan kegagalan.

Walau apapun pendapat manusia mengenai 2009, saya berpendapat ianya memberikan pengalaman yang berbeza-beza. Satu perkara yang tidak baik mengenai mengenai saya pada 2009 ialah saya tidak menjadi lebih baik berbanding pada 2008, malah lebih buruk. Ianya adalah kerana saya tidak menetapkan apa-apa matlamat untuk 2009 dan ianya menjadikan saya sesat tanpa haluan. Ianya mengajar saya satu perkara, di mana manusia mampu untuk meletakkan pelbagai sasaran, tetapi saya kelihatan seperti tidak mampu. Teruknya saya...

Jadi di sini, saya ada satu senarai tentang perkara-perkara yang akan saya buat pada tahun ini. 3 atau 4 perkara telah termasuk dalam azam saya untuk 2010. Saya berharap saya akan dapat mencapai sehingga 90% daripada matlamat yang ditetapkan. Saya berharap 2010 akan menjadikan saya lebih baik dari 2009 yang agak gagal ini.

Terima kasih kepada keluarga yang selalu menyokong. Aminudin, teman serumah, yang selalu berkongsi banyak perkara. Redza, teman sekelas, yang menjadi 'nadi' saya di dalam kelas. Dr. Azita Amrin, pensyarah PJ, kerana menjadi mentor saya. En. Manoharan dan pensyarah-pensyarah yang lain, kerana menjadi panduan kepada kerjaya saya di sepanjang 2009. Jasa baik anda akan saya kenang selama-lamanya.

Harapan saya, semoga 2010 akan menjadi tahun yang lebih baik untuk saya...

Request of Update

A friend clang to me this afternoon saying that I have to update my blog. Well, here I am updating the blog. So many things were happening that I hardly have time to sit and type something properly.

But, when I was at IPGM KBA Lembah Pantai in mid December, I created a story about a small girl waiting for her parents to come back home. It supposed to be only 100 - 150 words long. At the end of the process, I came out with a nearly 500-word-long essay. It wasn't easy, but the ideas were just flowing, and as I stated here in this very blog not too long ago, I can't stop when I start writing. So, that was it.

Nice One...

You have to watch this...Awesome collaboration!!!

Too Busy To Handle

It's been a while since I did the last update for my own blog. I was too busy to handle things like this. I set some priorities in life, and updating my own blog has come 2nd to the very last!

I'm sure I'll have things to say in forthcoming posts...

Perkhemahan Pendidikan Luar

Bermula pada 2 November 2009, Perkhemahan Pendidikan Luar untuk guru-guru TESL (Rendah) KDPM-KDC (SABK), Institut Pendidikan Guru Malaysia Kampus Bahasa Antarabangsa (IPGM KBA) akan bermula.

Pendidikan Luar (PL) adalah satu cabang dalam Pendidikan Jasmani yang meliputi cabaran ikhtiar hidup (survival). Dalam PL, peserta akan menempuhi cabaran-cabaran yang lebih berbentuk fizikal, yang mana turut memberi kesan kepada mental dan emosi.

Peserta perkhemahan PL kali ini terdiri dari 20 guru perempuan dan 4 guru lelaki. Perkhemahan ini bertempat di Kem Saujana Asahan, milik Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) yang terletak di kaki Gunung Ledang.

The Concept of 1Malaysia

The idea is terrific, so does with the implementation.

What comes into mind is the understanding of the concept (in which, what is the problem in its implementation). Some might understand this idea and the concept deeply that should anyone, I mean ANYONE, asks him/her about it, the answer will come out from his/her mouth like a free-flowing river. No stops, no errs, no mumblings and no doubts. But there are some people out there whom are not really understand the whole idea and concept.

For me, integrating races should not limit anything. But these misunderstanding people capitalise the loop holes throughout the concept. Some people are still misunderstand the cultural and religion issues in the concept. Of course, and like we already know, culture and religion come together. They can't be separated because culture comes from the religion itself.

In the concept, culture and religion are fused together in order to create a one single nation - Malaysian. But there are also restrictions, in which Islam itself prevents Muslims to practice any other way of life, even a single way. Thus, other races can't assume that Muslims WILL follow everything or at least a thing (even a try of it). A knowledge about the culture is just enough.

A View for a Relationship

I was stuck with a Tamil movie just now, titled "Unnale Unnale" (you may see the details of this movie here), which has captured my attention and views regarding a relationship as a couple. I actually can go for any movie, be it in any foreign language, as long as the storyline could please me.

I actually have no experience in coupling thingy, because I have no girlfriend -- no one nor once. Hence, I have no right to say anything to every breaking couple out there what should they do to reconcile themselves. But I do have a thing or two to share as a view for future references.

For me, there's no such "owning" thing, because we have no right to own anything, for the fact that everything belongs to the God the Almighty who has control over everything in this world. We are granted to have a thing or two just for a matter of time and for some reasons mostly we didn't understand or even realise.

I have come across a lot of couples out there that are having the same problem as the couple in the movie. One part of the couple, be it the guy or the girl, wants the other part of the couple to stay loyal and follow all of his/her wishes, which I think is the uttermost problem in every relationship. When this thing happen, the other part will definitely feel very uncomfortable, which would result into a fierce war-of-words.

I call this act (of wanting their partner to follow suit) as bossy - somewhat, though not fully bossy, but it still is -- or 'control freak' -- that is the correct terminology. I was thinking deeply, why would we want everyone to follow everything we say? Will we follow everything people say to us? We absolutely won't. You may try this with your own partner, while I'll try this to my own schoolkids and workingmates. We will get the result exactly just like I told you.

For me the turning point of a relationship is just accepting your partner just the way our partner is, and the same should be done by the our partner - accepting us just the way we are. The God created His creatures in pairs, in which male come female, and right come wrong. Postive come negative. There is no way these creatures will be the same, but it is up to us to align and reconcile each other.

From differences comes understanding. From differences also, comes happy ending. But don't you ever forget, from difference also, comes bitter memories.

Treasure your partner while you can before they go slipping through your fingers.

We Forgot The Big Picture

Yesterday, I went to a friend's house. His name is Ahmad Fadzil Mohamad. He is a home-bounded architect. Though he has a very successful family, he keeps his head low, but praising my family instead. What a guy to befriend with. Chatting with him is always the moment I treasure. If someone ask me to find an Ustaz to give a ceramah, his name should be in the list. He is indeed, a hidden gem in today's dusty society.

We had a couple hours of chat. He reminded me about a saying by the Prophet of Muhammad p.b.u.h, in which the meaning of the saying is something like this:

"I fear my ummah would start to believe in God less and less". Muttafaqun`Alaihi.

The above saying means he feared that the current Muslims would have double faith, or Syiriq, as we call it in Arabic, which means believe in something other than God. Here, syiriq is the big picture, where every single Muslim knows that it is prohibited totally to believe in something other than God. But little by little, we, in which including me, started to doubt the power of God without realising this act.

Just look back what we did through our life. We did good sometimes, and we we also did bad sometimes. When we did good, it was always us who deliver the result. And when we did bad, we simply pointing our fingers to everyone, claiming that the failure wasn't our doing. Giving you the situation like that, I think I hit it bull's eye.

The world of Muslim today, or to be exact, Malaysian Muslims, has been arguing for small, trivial things. We forgot the basic pillars of being a Muslim - The Five Pillars of Islam. We forgot to look into the Holy Furqan and Hadith as the first two sources of Islamic jusridictions. I still remember a few years back, when there was a debate over should Tarawikh be performed at prayer houses (mosques and suraus) or rather at home. What a shame to Malaysians who call themselves pure Muslims.

Here, I would like to stress that we go to the basic. Improve our basic doings (amaal), and be a good Muslim to our own selves first before we tell people that they are indeed wrong. Being a good Muslim to ourselves, is indeed, a good form of da`ie (Malays call it dakwah).

A Major Letdown

I had a major letdown today, but I won't write what was it exactly here. I just couldn't do so. At this moment, my fingers are shaking, my mind is flying somewhere and I have a lot of typos when typing this post.

Some of my pen-pals have come (on me through online forums) and consoled me not to get down with it, and that's exactly what I'm doing. I believe that I can get over this letdown pretty quick, as I dealt with some major blows some times ago.

I really don't know what to write here, but I don't even have the intention to sleep. Maybe I take this too deep. Maybe it's the first day of the incident. Maybe this is the biggest letdown I've ever had. Just maybe.

I'll rest this case, and I won't open the same book ever again next time. Thanks to "Yellow", an online friend who has been accompanying me on the net.

Haza Yaumul 'Aziim

Means today is the greatest day. The day where Muslims around the world celebrate their win against lust. It's what we call fasting, which is compulsory to every single Muslim throughout the month of Ramadhan.

This festive is called Eidulfitr. Eid means a festival, while the word Fitr carries a meaning of going back to the neutral. Most Ulama' agreed that the fasting month is the process of freeing ourself from any bad elements. And Eidulfitr is the day where the bad elements should have been gone, and also created as to celebrate human's pure nature, pure form -- clean, just like a plain white cloth.

There's no ritual included, only the chanting of Takbir which can be heard all day long.

Kandungan Blog dalam Bahasa Melayu

Untuk pertama kalinya, saya telah "dipaksa" oleh rakan-rakan untuk menulis blog dalam Bahasa Melayu (saya tidak rasa seperti dipaksa, malah berasakan sudah sampai masanya untuk menulis dalam dwi-bahasa). Pada sesetengah orang, peralihan penggunaan bahasa, terutamanya dari Bahasa Inggeris ke Bahasa Melayu, merupakan satu penurunan tahap (atau dalam Bahasa Inggerisnya; degradation of standard). Namun saya tidak merasakan begitu.

Saya adalah orang Melayu, yang dilahirkan dalam keluarga campuran Melayu-Jawa, menggunakan Bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa perantara, dan berpegang teguh pada Islam. Jadi, tidak salah untuk saya terus menggunakan Bahasa Melayu. Penggunaan Bahasa Melayu di dalam blog saya adalah bertujuan untuk memudahkan rakan-rakan membaca dan memberikan komen dalam blog saya.

Saya tidak mempunyai pengikut (blog follower), namun ada ahli keluarga dan rakan yang sudi melawat dan membaca tulisan (posting) saya di blog. Mereka tidak memberikan komen secara bertaip, namun mereka memberikan cadangan dalam bentuk lisan, yang mana saya fikirkan lebih berkesan, kerana tidak menggunakan kertas sebagai perantara.

Saya lebih suka mengatakan yang saya tidak boleh, dan tidak akan lari dari Bahasa Inggeris. Ini kerana saya dikelilingi oleh individu dan media yang menggunakan Bahasa Inggeris. Dan penggunaan Bahasa Inggeris adalah salah satu dari aset saya yang terpenting. Semua orang memiliki aset ini, dan ada sesetengah orang Melayu yang lahir dengan aset ini, dan mereka berbangga dengannya.

Ingin saya jelaskan di sini, aset saya yang satu ini telah diperoleh melalui usaha yang tidak kenal penat, dan saya masih cuba untuk memperkaya aset saya ini. Melalui usaha-usaha itulah, baru saya dapat menguasai sesuatu yang panggil aset ini; penguasaan Bahasa Inggeris yang boleh dikatakan "boleh tahan" oleh 99.8% orang Melayu, atau dalam Bahasa Inggerisnya; intermediate level of competency.

Seorang pensyarah saya memberitahu (namanya Manoharan a/l Nalliah), "adalah mudah untuk menguasai. Dan sekali kamu menguasainya, ianya harus dipertahan sampai bila-bila (It's easy to pick-up English. And once you've got it, you have to retain it at all cost).

Saya akan terus menggunakan kedua-dua bahasa, Melayu sebagai bahasa perantara saya, dan Inggeris sebagai aset saya yang perlu dipertahan.

Tresure Our Holy Guest

We are now are being visited by a holy guest. His name is Ramadhan. He visits us once a year, and he will live with us for 30 days. He doesn't come alone. He brings along his wife, Rezq and 2 children, Sahur and Iftaar. They are also being accompanied by Rahmat, Barakat and Toubah. They will leave after 30 days of staying by Eid Airlines. We are encouraged to treasure them, and the God shall grant us with His blessings...

Happy Ramadhan el-Mubaarak!

2 Primary 3 Pupils

Remember about the Primary 3 pupils that I talked about in the past post (the one before the previous post)? They are Nur Syamilah & Hasifah Najihah. Below is their pic, which was taken during the Closing Ceremony of BM Week 2009. They are one of the most active pupils from Primary 3 (there are some more pupils, not just them).

I will upload more pics from the last 2009 Fitness Month. The pics are in the middle of processing (but still, not with me), because I'll prepare a report for the month which will be sent to the Malacca Dept. of Education (JPM) this week. It was delayed though, because of the temporary closure due to the H1N1 outbreak.

(From left: Syamilah & Najihah)

Sturck Down With Flu...

Couldn't login and post for the past 2 weeks due to works plus being struck down with cold and flu. It really got down to my nerve as there are already a number of deaths (it is 32 at the current timing, and counting) reported amid the skyrocketed H1N1 outbreak.

Some schools have been closed for at least 5 days since the outbreak, and my school has been closed since August 10. Though no case was reported, but 2 pupils were hospitalised for closer scrutiny after showing some signs of being infected.

I myself was being struck down by cold and flu. Thank God it was only a common flu, though doctor said I was showing some minor signs despite of experiencing none of them. Still, there are still some severe coughs as a result from the flu, plus for being a smoker which worsened the situation. I'm feeling a lot better now, though. *Cough...! Cough..!*

I'll be posting more things when I'm back to work :)

3 Down, 3 More To Go...!

I've done 3 competitions for the Fitness Month so far. From the 3 competitions, I've found that boys are more into sports than girls do. 'Course there are some sport enthusiasts among the girls, but they were too much holding back themselves. This is gonna be an uphill task, unearthing their talents...! I'd really like to see some diamonds rise from the dust...But oh, well!

I've also found some talents in sprint and handball. Because some of them are only 10, I think I should nurture them into some contenders for next year's MSSM games (athletics and handball). What surprised me was there were some promising talents in Primary 3 pupils...(I'll show you their pics in next...after next post). They played by invitations only, but yet they've shown great enthusiasm throughout the netball games.

3 more competitions to go, "Fitness Test" for Year 1 - Year 3 pupils, and grand finale for Sprint Test Competitions and for 5's Handball Competitions. I hope these games will run as smooth as the previous 3 competitions.

I am also planning for the Fitness Month 2009 Closing Ceremony. There will be some activities during the closure, but they won't be heavy. Maybe just some talks about health, plus some aerobic exercises. Mr. Ismail Md. Noor (from Pusat Kokurikulum Negeri Melaka) was being invited for the talk and conducting the aerobic exercises. But he haven't given his confirmation yet. I hope he would be able to come, or at least a replacement (could be Mdm. Zahriah M. Hamid, also from the same centre).

The only one thing that is still pending, is the token which will be given to the VIPs. I suggested a T-shirt printed (or could be embedded) with the Fitness Month logo. But the HM hasn't give it a go just yet. I can't wait for the Closing Ceremony...

5's Handball Competition

Salam...

I'm working on running the 5's Handball Competition, in line with the MoE Fitness Month 2009. The competition will be on July 22nd. I haven't uploaded the pics from the "Sprint Test" and Netball Competition which were held last month. It's weekend now, and Mdm. Fatimah and Mdm. Norida have gone back to their hometown. So, no pictures in this post.

Players' lists are ready, score sheets are ready, circulations are ready...What next? THE GAME! Only the game, the competition now. Hopefully, the competition will run smooth, just like the Sprint Test and Netball competition.

Trophies....Arghh!!! I need to confirm its number to the supplier tomorrow!!!

MoE Fitness Month 2009

Every single teacher in Malaysia knows about this month :)

Based on the Official Circulation (a.k.a Surat Pekeliling) released by MoE (Ministry of Education) some years back, July was made as Fitness Month. Thus, there is a number of programs being run by the Ministry in order to ensure our future leaders are fit enough to spearhead the country to glory in years to come.

I would like to highlight some things pertaining to this program:

1. This is the month where students who can really (or not really) excel in sports shows their talents, apart of MSSM and all sports and extra curricullar programs.
2. One of the objectives is to instill the sporting culture to the students as well as to the teachers.
3. There is a number of programs being run, be it at school level, district level, state level or national level.
4. Aerobic exercise is being made compulsory, where it has to be conducted each and every week after schooling hours.
5. Some people can really enjoy this month.
6. At the same time, some people found it as time wasting (oww....C'mon!!!)

As the person incharge of sports thingy in school, I was obligated to run this program at school level. I have planned some competitions and (could be impossible) an exhibition.

I've done 2 competitions so far; netball games for female students and "sprint test" for male students. I had so much fun doing those 2 competitions, both AT ONCE. I repeat, both AT ONCE. Imagine how busy I was juggling between those two competitions.

In next post, I will try to upload some pictures of the competitions. I wasn't able to hold the camera, even for a second because I had to hold a lot of score sheets in my hands. Mdm. Norida and Mdm. Fatimah (my teaching mates) took all the pictures. Credits to both of them for their supports and co-operations. Hopefully they will always be put under PE Panel, because I had a lot of fun working with them :)

Addicted To Drama

I don't want to write long. People are tired to read my writing, because they're waaaay toooooo long. I've heard some words of mouth saying that when a person is able to write long, that means he/she is talkative. I don't have any idea. Because some people I know are silent in real life (hence will be written as "RL" in short), but they can be very "talkative" on the net, or when spending their time with their partners. In fact, when my lecturer ask me to do a 500-word essay, I'd end up doubling, or even trebling it; which means I can easily drag my essay up to 1000 - 1500 words. I actually just can't stop writing (or typing) because the ideas flow like a river current.

Well, let's get back to the topic.

I can't believe that I'm now addicted to some TVB (a Hong Kong's media company that produce lotsa serial dramas which can be seen widely in local TV) dramas. I've found that their storylines are somehow interesting; lingering around family matters (at most), while some mirrored my own life! That's sound spooky to me!!! *brrr*

I'm known for a fan of Cantonese films. I really enjoy watching Canto films or drama. Some of them can really embed my mind. And I can even state some of their actors (but very little actresses), be it the leading roles or even in supporting roles. Eric Tsang is one of my favourites, along with the likes; Simon Yam, Lau Ching Wan, both Tony Leungs (Leung Kar-Fei and Leung Chiu Wai) and all-time favourites - Chow Yuen-Fatt, Andy Lau Tak Wah and Sammo Hung. Well, the list goes on. There are too many of them. The one that made me hooking up currently is "Heart of Greed", which is being aired on 8TV from 1900 - 2000hrs, every weekdays.

Oh, this posting went long also. I should stop by now. It's late night already :)

Thank You...!

Saying "thank you", or at least "thanks", should never be forgotten. I've seen an ad - government-based, the one that airing on the TV day in and day out, regardless of the lack of creativity, it's sending us a message, though.

Some people we know are hard to at least say one simple short word - Thanks. Each and everyone of us know that there is no harm by not saying "thanks" at all. But, it's an unsung and unwritten rules that we inherited from our ancestors; whereas saying "thanks" be made compulsory every time someone shown us their hands.

I'm not relating this matter to someone or anyone, but this happened last night. A poor and weak old man helped me lifting up a heavy thing. Maybe because of being tired, he left at once. I felt really, really embarrassed by myself for not be able to say thanks. Not that I didn't want to, but he simply left, just like that.

Waking up this morning, I made up my mind to redeem myself for the thing I've done last night. The first thing I did when arriving at work was seeing this old man. I took him for a breakfast. I told him that I wanted to pay the bill, but he refused to.

At the end of the process, he left first. He said he had something important to do that he couldn't sit long. I let him go. When I was about to pay the bill, the stall keeper said the old man has paid for the bill. The moment she (the stall keeper) said that, that was a whack! And what a whack! I lost to him twice! Shame on me...Shame on me.

The next time I see this old man, I'm sure I will not lose to him. I'll repay the good deeds he has done to me. I always come second to everyone when it comes to doing good deeds....Shame on me! How do I come first???

Bad Marks Remain Forever

I've learned a lesson today. And this lies just right within The Prophet of Mohamed's advise - learning takes the whole life, from the cradle to the grave.

Someone told me today that we learn from everything in this world, either living things or vice-versa. Though he is not a Muslim guy, he is quite well-versed with the Holy Quran, while most Muslims don't. It's a shame, a real shame.

Quoting what he have said in our conversations, "Human can never be perfect. Even the Prophets were learning up until the day their life was taken. We are just a simple human being without anything to boast about. So, there's no way we should skip learning".

Man, I tell you, this guy's understanding of God is totally superb. A man without proper thoughts can never be his match. He also quoted that "our perception towards someone should always be good", and I totally agreed with him. He added that "being soft-spoken is highly-demanded", because "once you leave a bad mark, it'll remain forever".

That changed my perception towards Non-Muslims. In fact, I changed it long before, but his capabilities in thinking about being good to people has further improved my perception. I have no wonder over his success in business. He holds the key of life tighter than everyone else I know.

From this point onwards, I'll try my every best not to leave any bad mark. Hopefully, people who was hurt by my actions, words or point of views in the past, will apologise me.

I couldn't think of one

This is my third comment in my very own blog. It came 4 months after the last post. You imagine...4-odd months...! That shows how busy I am in dealing with my life.

Sitting in a room of a friend gave me quite an easy day. Not "easy" in terms of works, but the atmosphere actually. I'm tired and sick with the surrounding of my working atmosphere. Of course there are competitions, but they are going in somewhat a wrong idea. I'm not going to tell you everything, because it'll only make me sick more and more. Oh, and I'm sick, currently.

Because of those unhealthy competitions, I'd rather leave myself outta the race than joining in. Not to tell you that I'm a loser (well actually I am, fictitiously), but being outside of a bad thing is somewhat the best option to pick for each and everyone of us.

You know what? I actually couldn't think of any thing to tell about. But rather transcendence, I manage to pop up here and post, for the fact that I haven't been posting anything for the past 4 months...

Up until my next post, I would say...That's all....And so long :D

Good Words Go Along the Way

I went to a ceremony in rememberance of the birth of The Prophet of Muhammad yesterday. There was a ceramah at the ceremony. Instead of telling about the birth of Prophet Muhammad (like the ones that we always pay attention to during the day), he went to tell what He told one of his friends (whose name I couldn't recall) about what makes a good Muslim.

According to the ceramah, there were seven things that maketh a good Muslim. But what captured my attention the most was the 5th. It mentioned that Muslim should speak out only good words from themselves, regardless of to whom they are speaking to. That brought me to a deep, real life-related thinking.

All this while, we humans (regardsless of colours, races, religions etc.) have been speaking out bad words. Not to tell you that I'm a perfect 10 person on speaking out good words. Every before and now, I spat, cursed, yelled, nagged (the list goes on - you name it) to a lot of people. When realizing this, I was instantly thinking about how they reacted to all the spits and curses I made against them.

During my secondary school period, I was known for the one that spat and cursed a lot. At that time, only God knew how far I went to when spitting out those bad words. I spat for everything and cursed everyone that went against my will. But when the times gone by, I started to feel that I should hold my self back more in any situation.

Now it's been almost 10 years that I left school. I even went to an anger management course to deal with my anger and spitting spree. After completed the course, I found myself in a bit of relief. I learned how to be a model professional - keeping the anger and hatred aside, rather than bursting them out to nowhere.

Well, we have reasons to be mad, and out of the blue, spitting and cursing follow afterwards. This may result in serious physical abuse caused by anger, spits and curses. And if we didn't realize, we tend to turn to something or someone weaker than us to do those destructive physical abuse. If we turn to somebody, that may cause a pointless fight. Fight for nothing - just to revert the anger, spits and curses spat.

10 years after leaving the school proved to be vital to me dealing with my bad habit. I wonder what happened to the youngsters today, especially primary and middle schoolers, in which, they tend to use bad words almost over everything. Not to tell that they should being courteous ("berbudi bahasa" in Malay Language). I just want to see them speaking good words not just to their peers, even to everyone else.

I am really curious right now, what caused them speaking out bad words, instead of good words? What influenced them to do so? When we put more depth in our thought, we, the elders, should be held accountable, right?

First Blog for a Master

This is the first blog I created for myself. Though I learned about blogging years ago, I simply didn't have the time (or maybe I just ignored it for the fact that I'd gain nothing out of it) to create one. It was because my officemate that I created this one, just to show him how to create a blog.

Well, this is the first posting. But more will come in short future. I myself am a computer savvy, but wasting too much time on the net reading others' blogs, forums or just playing online games such as Utopia etc.

Until then, wait for my next posts... :)
