Ramadhan ini
Terbitnya kesedaran, untuk mencari keredhaan
Keampunan
Keberkatan
Dari Allah yang Maha Esa
Dan dari kesedaran itu
Maka berusahalah aku
Mengejar ganjaran yang dijanjikan
Nyahkan segala hiasan duniawi yang sementara
Aku nekad mencium sejadah setiap malam
Dengan harapan setiap titis amal ku diterima-Mu
Alhamdulillah
Ramadhan ini
Semuanya mula berubah
Tidak disia-sia kan ia berlalu seperti dahulu...
Ku isi sepenuh yang ku mampu
Sayang ramadhan ini kurasa begitu pantas berlalu
Ya Allah
Aku mohon kepada-Mu
Terimalah amalan ku yang tidak seberapa ini
Dan panjangkanlah umur kami sekeluarga
Semoga kami dapat bertemu dengan bulan Ramadhan yang akan datang
Dan berpeluang mengecap kemanisannya lagi
p/s: Selamat menjalankan ibadah puasa kepada semua muslimin dan muslimat.

The management & the resistance
Its 11.00 am, and I am still at home.
Surprised? Don't be.
I am sure you guys will do the same thing if your salaries were paid late the last 3 months, while your EPF contribution has not been paid since end of last year.
The management of my company sure knows how to make a fool of itself.
Its okay if a fool is willing to make mistakes and learn, but these fools make mistakes, don't admit it and don't want to learn!
Orang melayu cakap 'BODOH SOMBONG'.
I think the management's objective should be re-written into: 'Be a fool, and stay a fool'.
My patience is running very thin, and I have been looking for a job since May. Unfortunately, I've not received any offers so far. Admittedly, the current economic climate is unsuitable for a job switch...but hey, better to earn a lower salary in a stable company then putting up with all kinds of nonsense with my current company.
All I want is for my salary to be paid on time, and all my outstanding EPF contributions to be paid in full. Nothing extraordinary, in fact, these are things that I should not worry about as someone who supposedly WORKS and earns a living!
To make matters worse, the management is not communicating with the staff on this matter. They are going about acting everything is normal. The policy of the management seems to be 'Ignorance is bliss'.
Besides myself, and a handful of other colleagues, other staff seems to be accepting this kind of treatment!
Amazing!
Maybe, like the management, the other staff inherited a few hundred million from their parents! Or maybe they are from a different planet altogether.
Good for them, but unfortunately, this is a luxury I don't have. I'm just your average Malaysian dad who has bills to pay and a wife and kid to feed. Therefore, I need to have my salary on time. My EPF contributions? Funny that its been deducted in my pay slips, but not paid since end of last year!!
So, me and my band of resistance fighters have been putting up a fight the last 3 months. We've made our case known to EPF, we've met some lawyers, we are lodging reports wherever we can. Some have been asked to leave (and got their outstanding salaries, and better jobs!), while some, including myself, are just hanging on until we find the right jobs.
Here's hoping for a better job and a better life as soon as possible.

pemangkin semangat
betol kata org tua tua
takde yg lebih menggembirakan, selain menatap wajah kecil seorang anak
hilang segala penah, lelah, marah, tensen dan yg sewaktu dengannyer!
kalau lah aku tahu nikmat berumahtangga macam nih, lama dah aku tawen!
kekekekekeke
yg aku harapkan, yg aku usahakan....semoga aku dapat menjaga isteri dan anakku dengan sebaik mungkin...
tiap kali aku pandang wajah mereka....tiap kali jugak, bertambah tekadku utk memberi yg terbaik bagi mereka berdua.
walaupun sekarang nih aku pening....pening sebab memacam masalah dalam syarikat sekarang...tapi yg paling aku angin sekali, KWSP tak bayar bayar! menyirap darah beb!
so...no choice but to go job hunting......takpe....aku nekad, demi isteri dan anakku
fuhhh...lamanya nak tunggu ari jumaat...pas kijo baru boleh tolak balik tgk anak bini kat kampong!

In memory of my father: 1939 - 2009
Last week, bapak left us peacefully....
Initially, bapak was warded on Saturday, 24/1/09 when he complained of chest pains. Since mak couldnt get the chest pains to subside, it was decided that he better get warded.
Doctors then discovered that the hole used for dialysis on his left hand was not functioning anymore. In addition, bapak also had pneumonia i.e his lungs were filling up with water. Therefore, a decision was made to operate bapak's throat area for dialysis and getting rid of water in his lungs puposes. The attached tubes did not allow bapak to talk.
Bapak was aware of my presence when I came home on monday night, 26/1/09. By order of our eldest brother (who is a doctor by training), he was sedated very minimally by Normah doctors. He managed to see all of his children. And believe me, bapak was still being bapak! He would ask for things by writing on a notepad, even though his hands were shaky, n adjusted his bed n body to find a comfortable position! Hehe, typical bapak, always a fighter.
By Tuesday morning, 27/1/09, mak n all our my siblings had a meeting with the doctor in charge. It seems that bapak's body could not maintain his heart rate n blood pressure, n had to rely on support machines. This was compounded by his cancer in the lungs and brain.
We agreed to the hard decision of slowly reducing medicine n life support for bapak.
At around 3pm, all medicine n life support systems were totally shut down.
By 3.45pm, bapak left peacefully.
Alhamdulillah, throughout this ordeal, bapak never seem to feel pain. In fact, watching bapak left was pretty much was like watching him slowly fall asleep in front of the tv! Alhamdulillah, recitals of the Yassin n doa from everyone must have helped bapak through his passage into the afterlife.
Bapak's body was bathed n kept at home that nite, n buried before Zohor on Wednesday, 28/1/09. His body was carried all the way to the grave by us sons & his male grandchildren.
He was my teacher, who taught me good english and impeccable manners
He was my disciplinarian, who will punish and rectify all my wrongdoings
He was my general, who will give me clear cut orders to carry out
He was my Imam, who taught me how to pray, and returned me to the true teachings of Islam
He was my fighter, who fought for me when I was unable to fend off by myself
He was my provider, who amply kept me warm and well fed through out my life
He was my wali, who bestowed his blessings on a wife of my choice
He was my bapak
Al fatihah for bapak.
May his soul rest in peace, and may Allah bestow upon him his own jannah among the most faithful muslims in the afterlife.
Amin

pengakhiran dan permulaan
pengakhiran.....
pengakhiran 2008 ditutup dgn pemergian nenek kpd isteriku....
sedikit perasaan ralat hinggap ke jiwa kami berdua kerana kami tak sempat melawat nenek semasa Hari Raya Haji....
nenek memang dah sakit tua pun dari pertengahan 2008 lagi...
tak larat nak jaga dirinya sendiri...jadi mak su atau mak mentua aku sendiri yg bergilir-gilir jaga dia....
mak su cerita kat kami.....orang terakhir yg nenek sebut-sebut n cari sebelum meninggal dunia ialah kami suami isteri....
"che su, mu royak kat kak anis ngan abe ahmad, jago cicit aku elok elok"
itulah antara kata-kata terakhir nenek sebelom menghembuskan nafasnya....
kami selalu ingat dekat nenek....neneklah yang merestui perkahwinan kami...
kami suami isteri cuma mampu kirimkan doa serta ayat-ayat Al-Quran untuk nenek.....
jadi untuk rakan-rakan yg browse blog nih.....satu peringatan n pengajaran bagi saya sendiri serta kita semua:
luangkanlah masa bersama ahli keluarga bila berkesempatan...kita tidak tahu bila mereka akan dijemput menghadap Yang Maha Esa......
"the only certainty in life is death........we are merely passengers on Allah's earth"
"we are but shadows and dust....shadows and dust, Maximus" Proximus to Maximus, from the film 'Gladiator'.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
....dan permulaan....
2009......i've just turned 29, n will turn 30 by year's end!
phew.....30 TAHUN BEB!
haha....rasa macam nak tergelak jer.......30 years old....and yet.....all my old friends say that I am still the same person from my school and university days!
with every passing year, our time on the face of the earth shortens....makin suntuk masa kita untuk buat apa yang kita nak.....so far:
bapak is showing positive results on his ongoing radiotherapy sessions..alhamdulillah...however, he is wheel chair bound now for his own comfort....he still walks around the house, but will use the wheelchair whenever he goes out shopping. the cancerous cells are affecting the part of his brain for balance, so bapak has a hard time standing. kadang-kadang nak terjatoh. hopefully his condition improves in 2009, insyaAllah...
my wife and I are very keen and nervous to receive the birth of our baby. la ni tengah nak register kat government hospital, sebab aku tak nak kene pow dengan private hospital! la ni tengah tengok2 baby car seat, baju, stroller dan yg sewaktu dengan nyer.....2009 will be the year I become dad...ready or not, baby will come by April 2009, insyaAllah.....aku stended la, redah jer...hehe
me? i just want a better job n salary, n give the best possible life to my wife n baby...
2009......what will u bring?
before I forget, happy nu year to all!
