Fade Away.

I dreamt of my 'Lisa Surihani' the other day.

Fuh, there's a lot talk about and it feels like the chat has no end.

Even it was only a dream, it felt good though. I've been keeping a lot to myself lately.

Anyhow, as I think about it again, I realize that I couldn't recognize her face anymore.

She's fading away, and from there I know... I've moved on.

And I'm okay.

Foreign Workers.

Sometimes, people tend to think negative about foreign workers.

"They caused high criminal rate. They are lazy. They are problem maker. They took advantage of their employers, and bla bla bla..."

That is what 'some' people thought. And yes, some of them might be true. But some might be not.
They sacrificed their time for the families and do not have direct contact with any of them. They work days and nights without any leave. They need to learn the new cultures of ours.
Yet, it's a pity that some of us just do not know how to appreciate.

See them as a human being. Who has feeling and pain.
Imagine that it was you. Far from families and loved ones and never got to see them for years.
How would you feel?

Will it be okay for you to leave your little ones for weeks, without any knowing what happen to them?
Will it be okay for you to celebrate 'Raya' or 'Chinese New Year' or Christmas with your boss, not your family?

Just leave it that with the two reasons that I bet you'll never survive a day for doing so.
So please, treat them well.
They earn respect.

p.s. Watch the Filipino film 'Anak'. You'll be touched for what these people actually sacrificed for the sake of their loved ones.

Saving Electricity.

The tariff of electricity in Malaysia will be increased this month, but this doesn't exactly mean Mr Nazul dan Mr Nine will get extra bonus this year, instead this is a move by the government to reduce its burden on subsidy every year. Instead having you all whining about it, why don't you be a little bit considerate and start to save power and electricity?

Ok, here is what you can do at home.

Computer: More often than not, we do not flip off our monitors even after we have closed our pcs. Keep the monitor and the computer switched off when you are not using them. Start doing this even when at work.

Light bulbs: You must have heard compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs being advertised all the time. You must have even used them at times. As a power-saving measure, begin using the compactfluorescent light bulbs as often as you can. If you are conceiving they are more pricey than the standard bulbs, the gains of the CFL bulbs will prove lots more economic in the long turn by the amount of power they will save.

Air Conditioning: Put the temperature at the minimum or maximum strongest you are comfortable with. Try not to put it at too high or too low temperatures. Setting the air conditioner at fair temperatures helps oneself preserve lots of power.

Washers: Minimize the amount of washings by cleaning a full load of garments every time.

Television: Unplug the power plug of your television set when not using it. This may not sound like a big deal but this little step will help oneself save power. This includes your astro decoder. When there is no updating done by astro, it is better to switch off the decoder as having it in standby mode still cost almost 90% of its normal power usage.

Water Heater: Keep the geyser thermostat at the minimal heat. You do not need to heat the water at a very high temperature or for overly long.

Refrigerator: Bring cooked food to room temperatures before placing it into the refrigerator. You can also spare power by bringing cold or frozen food out of the icebox a great deal ahead of the mealtime, thereby conserving energy in heating it.

So, there you go. I know every one of us like being pampered and have all our life supported with subsidy without having to try enough, as all that important tasks of searching for financial support and make the world green is solely the government's job, but... please try. You can actually make a difference without knowing it.

Not Every Man Is The Same.

I seldom crossed over with articles of woman being the victim in a relationship and man being the predator, how ego and self-centered a man could be. The accusation is so generalized that claims all man are the same and cannot be trusted. With this, I would say that those who write this article has shortsighted mind, and stupid.

I never told (almost) anyone for what I've gone through these past years, but sometimes, woman can be equivalently evil and deceiving as some man are. They can be hurtful and cunning. But do I complain? No. Because it's qada and qadar that I found someone who is not right for me, and I'll never put the blame on all every existence woman on this planet for what had happened.

So stop feel sorry about yourself, and if you really need to put a blame on someone for your failure in relationship, put the blame on him/her, not man/woman, because such article irritated me and it is totally unfair. Not every man is the same, and you'll claim the same if I made accusation like you did.

Man and woman should compliment each other. Woman completes man, and vice versa. That is why Eve (Hawa) is made for Adam A.S.

“It is He Who created you from a single person, and made his mate of like nature, in order that he might live with her in love. When they are united, she bears a light burden and carries it about unnoticed. When she grows heavy, they both pray to Allah their Lord, saying: “If you give us a goodly child, we vow we shall ever be grateful.” (7:189)
