Jika ..... dan Kalau .....

KALAU SUAMI

Kalau suami mula berahsia..
Itu tandanya dia tak setia.

Kalau suami meninggi suara..
Itu tandanya dia dah ada mak we.

Kalau suami mengaku bujang tua..
Itu tandanya dia nak ngurat anak dara.

Kalau suami selera tak ada..
Itu tandanya dia nak pasang dua.

Kalau suami lambat balik aje..
Itu tandanya dia dah syok kat setiausaha.

Kalau suami tidur di ruang tamu..
Itu tandanya dia dah jemu.

Kalau suami malam jumaat buat tak tahu..
Itu tandanya tak lama lagi hidupmu bermadu.

Kalau suami garang macam singa..
Itu tandanya hati dia dah tak cinta.

Kalau suami asyik komplen aje..
Itu tandanya dia dah tak suka.

Kalau suami mula sepak terajang ke muka..
Itu tandanya dia nak memberimu title JANDA.

PESANAN KEPADA ISTERI2:

Adakah suami2 kita tergolong dlm kategori ini?

JIKA SUAMI... lebih banyak dari KALAU SUAMI... maka bersyukurlah kerana rumahtangga anda umpama SYURGA.

TETAPI.... KALAU SUAMI... lebih banyak dari JIKA SUAMI... maka berhati-hatilah. Wahai kaum isteri jangan sampai rumahtanggamu umpama NERAKA.




PERINGATAN KEPADA SUAMI2 :

Bukankah lebih baik jadikan rumahtangga itu SYURGA dari menjadikan ia NERAKA ?????

JANGAN ANDA MERASA MENYESAL KERANA MENCINTAI ISTERI .. KERANA DIALAH BIDADARIMU DI DUNIA INI..

DAN JANGANLAH ANDA SERONOK MENZALIMINYA KERANA DOA ORANG TERANIAYA DITERIMA ALLAH YANG ESA TANPA HIJAB...

Ada seekor burung kakak tua yang sangat cerdik dan mempunyai pandangan mata yang sangat tajam sehingga boleh menembusi apa-apa halangan yang menutup matanya (Transparent le tu... )

Setiap pagi burung ini akan bertenggek di dalam sangkarnya yang tergantung di tingkap. Rumah tuan punye burung ni terletak di antara sekolah rendah dan kuaters guru. Setiap pagi ada 3 orang cikgu wanita melintas di hadapan rumah tuan punye burung ni dari sekolah ke kuaters guru, oleh itu hari-hari lah burung ni perhati 3 orang cikgu yang bertutup litup tuh ke hulu ke hilir... ke hulu, ke hilir..... Setiap hari burung ni tengok cikgu-cikgu tu atas bawah, atas bawah.. Bila dia boring dia menyanyi -nyanyi... . tak pun, dia akan baca skrip cerita sembilu 2... lama-lama makin boring pulak... so dia ternampak le si cikgu-cikgu tu berderet jalan slow-slow nak pergi ke sekolah. Burung ni pun kuyu-kuyukan mata dia... then tonyoh tonyoh sikit mata dia... dah tu dia kibas-kibas kan kepak dia... pas tu dia jerit kuat-kuat...

"BELANG!! PUTIH!! BIRU!!!"

Cikgu-cikgu tadi sama-sama menoleh ke arah burung tu dan pandang ke depan semula. Mereka jalan cepat-cepat. .. Sampai di sekolah mereka cuma saling pandang memandang... .. Keesokan harinya cikgu-cikgu tu pun macam biasa lalu depan burung tu lagi. Bila balik ke rumah kuaters guru, burung tu buat dek je... bila cikgu ni nak ke sekolah, burung tu jerit lagi......

"PUTIH!!! BUNGA-BUNGA! !! PINK!!!"

Cikgu-cikgu tu terkejut... dan berjalan cepat-cepat lagi...sampai di sekolah depa pun tanya sesama depa.....cikgu pertama bercakap "camna burung kakak tua tu tau warna sepender yang kita pakai?"

Cikgu kedua menjawab "Tak tau pulak ... . ahli sihir ke apa ntah... .." .

Cikgu ketiga mencelah "Alah..kebetulan je agaknyer... .. tak pe, kita tengok besok pulak camana... "

Keesokan harinya macam biasa... pagi-pagi cikgu-cikgu tu lalu depan rumah burung tu... . burung tengah bersenam memusing-musingkan kepaknya 360 darjah... ....."Iyah! iyah! lapan lapan lagi... satu... dua... " dan seterusnya. Bila cikgu ni nak ke sekolah, lalu lagi depan burung... . Burung pun tengok... . dia jerit lagi..

"KELABU!! HIJAU!! PURPLE!!"

Cikgu-cikgu berlari-lari anak tanpa menoleh ke kiri dan ke kanan. Setiba di sekolah guru mereka berbicara lagi...

Cikgu pertama "Memang betul apa yang burung tu cakap... . heh, apa nak buat hah?".

Cikgu kedua "Kita mesti buat something untuk uji burung tu... ".

Cikgu ketiga... ."Aku tau... apa kata esok kita semua pakai color hitam". "Okey...Set! !!!!" balas depa... ..

10 Tips to Safely Quit Smoking

10 Tips to Safely Quit Smoking

1. Deep breathing is perhaps the single most powerful and important technique, especially during the first few days of quitting. Every time you want a cigarette, inhale the deepest lung-full of air you can, and then, very slowly, exhale. Purse your lips so that the air must come out slowly. Repeat this 3 times, and with each exhale, imagine all the tension in your body just flowing out of you.

2. The first few days, drink LOTS of water and fluids to help flush out the nicotine and other poisons from your body.

3. Remember that the urge to smoke only lasts a few minutes, and will then pass. The urges gradually become farther and farther apart as the days go by.

4. Do your very best to stay away from sugar and coffee the first week or longer, as these tend to stimulate the desire for a cigarette. Avoid fatty foods, as your metabolism will slow down a bit without the nicotine, and you may gain weight even if you eat the same amount as before quitting. So discipline about diet is extra important now.

5. Nibble on low calorie foods like celery, apples and carrots. Chew gum or suck on cinnamon sticks.

6. Stretch out your meals; eat slowly and wait a bit between bites.

7. Go to a gym, sit in the steam, exercise. Change your normal routine – take time to walk or even jog around the block or in a local park.

8. Ask for support from coworkers, friends and family members. Ask for their tolerance. Let them know you're quitting, and that you might be edgy or grumpy for a few days. If you don't ask for support, you certainly won't get any. If you do, you'll be surprised how much it can help. Take a chance -- try it and see!

9. Ask friends and family members not to smoke in your presence. Don't be afraid to ask. This is more important than you may realize.

10. To talk to a free live counselor, Proactive counseling services by trained personnel will be provided to you, both before and after you quit smoking.

- by Patrick Reynolds, founder of the Foundation for a Smokefree America.

Don't compare yourself with any one in this world.
If you compare, you are insulting yourself.

No one will manufacture a lock without a key.
Similarly God won't give problems without solutions.

Life laughs at you when you are unhappy...
Life smiles at you when you are happy...
Life salutes you when you make others happy...

Every successful person has a painful story.
Every painful story has a successful ending.
Accept the pain and get ready for success.

Easy is to judge the mistakes of others.
Difficult is to recognize our own mistakes.
It is easier to protect your feet with slippers than to cover the earth with carpet.

No one can go back and change a bad beginning;
But anyone can start now and create a successful ending.

If a problem can be solved, no need to worry about it.
If a problem cannot be solved, what is the use of worrying?

If you miss an opportunity don't fill the eyes with tears.
It will hide another better opportunity in front of you.

"Changing the Face" can change nothing.
But "Facing the Change" can change everything.
Don't complain about others;
Change yourself if you want peace.

Mistakes are painful when they happen.
But year's later, collection of mistakes is called experience, which leads to success.

Be bold when you loose and be calm when you win.

Heated gold becomes ornament.
Beaten copper becomes wires.
Depleted stone becomes statue.
So the more pain you get in life, the more valuable you become.

Lessons worth remembering

Five-minute business course - lessons worth remembering.

Lesson 1:

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you $800 to drop that towel.'
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob, after a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.

When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, 'Who was that?'
'It was Bob the next door neighbor,' she replies.
'Great,' the husband says, 'did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?'

Moral of the story:

If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders, in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.


Lesson 2:

A priest offered a Nun a lift. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.
The nun said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'
The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again.
The nun once again said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'
The priest apologized 'Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.'

Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way.
On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, 'Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.'

Moral of the story:

If you are not well-informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.


Lesson 3:

A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out.

The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish'
'Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the Bahamas , driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.' Puff! She's gone.
'Me next! Me next!' says the sales rep. 'I want to be in Hawaii , relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.'Puff! He's gone.

'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager.
The manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after lunch.'

Moral of the story:

Always let your boss have the first say.


Lesson 4:

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?'
The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.'
So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested.
All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story:

To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.


Lesson 5:

A turkey was chatting with a bull.
'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree' sighed the turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.'
'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients.'

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.

Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.
He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.

Moral of the story:

Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there..


Lesson 6:

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.

While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.

Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Morals of the story:

(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!!

"Michael, if you were on a date having dinner with a nice young lady, how would you tell her that you have to go to the bathroom?"
Michael said, "Just a minute I have to go pee."

The teacher responded by saying, "That would be rude and impolite. What about you Peter? How would you say it?"
Peter said, "I am sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back."
"That's better, but it's still not very nice to say the word bathroom at the dinner table."

"And you, little Johnny, can you use your brain for once and show us your good manners?"
Johnny answered by saying, "I would say: Darling, may I please be excused for a moment? I have to shake hands with a very dear friend of mine, whom I hope you'll get to meet after dinner."

The teacher fainted.

Memperdaya-diperdaya (minyak naik)

Someone sent me this. I am not anti-government nor pro-opposition but I want is what most Malaysians want; lower cost of living! That's all.

I just copy-pasted the whole email into my blog, just to ponder together.

*****xxxxx*****

Memperdaya - diperdaya (MINYAK NAIK)

Thursday, June 05, 2008. Semalam dalam akhbar tempatan, kerajaan telah keluarkan satu statistik kononnya harga minyak di Malaysia adalah yang paling rendah di rantau ini. Kemudian mereka membandingkan harga minyak Malaysia dengan harga minyak di Thailand, Singapore, Filipina dan Vietnam.

Persoalan sekarang, apakah asas perbandingan tersebut sedangkan negara-negara tersebut bukan pengeluar minyak? Hujah seperti inilah yang digunakan oleh barisan pemimpin untuk memperbodohkan orang kampung.

Ok, di sini fakta yang semua orang kena tahu. Pertama sekali sila lihat perbandingan harga minyak Malaysia dan negara-negara pengeluar minyak yang lain:-

Negara Harga minyak seliter (dalam RM)

Malaysia RM 2.70
Iran RM 0.29
Venezuela RM 0.16
Turkemenistan RM 0.39
Arab Saudi RM 0.19
Mesir RM 0.81

Dari data di atas, membuktikan propaganda kerajaan adalah palsu dan tidak benar. Kesemua negara pengeluar minyak di atas, harga minyak adalah di bawah RM1.00 seliter. Ada sesetengah alasan mengatakan keluaran minyak kita tak sebanyak Arab Saudi yang mengeluarkan sejuta tong sehari.

Menurut kerajaan, pengeluaran minyak kita adalah dalam lingkungan 700 ribu tong sehari. Oleh itu kalau berdasarkan ratio pengeluaran minyak antara Arab Saudi dan Malaysia 1 juta : 700 ribu, sepatutnya harga minyak Malaysia dalam lingkungan RM0.30 sen sahaja. Kenapa Arab Saudi boleh kekalkan harga minyak pada 0.19 sen seliter tapi Malaysia pada 1.92 sen? Bukankah jauh bezanya? Bagaimana pula dengan Venezuela yang jumlah penduduk hampir sama dengan Malaysia boleh kekalkan harga minyak pada 0.16 sen seliter sahaja?

Ini menunjukkan ada sesuatu yang tak kena dalam menguruskan hasil minyak dalam negara. Ketika DSAI menjawat jawatan Menteri Kewangan Malaysia pada tahun 1991-1998, harga minyak dikekalkan pada 1.10 sen seliter. Bagaimana beliau boleh mengekalkan harga minyak selama lapan tahun sedangkan harga minyak dunia naik mendadak ketika perang teluk di Iraq?

Pada masa yang sama juga pembangunan dan projek-projek banyak juga dijalankan dalam negara tanpa perlu naikkan harga minyak. Tapi pemimpin kerajaan beri alasan untuk naikkan harga minyak supaya duit tersebut dapat tampung projek pembangunan.

Masalah sekarang projek pembangunan untuk faedah siapa? Rakyat atau kroni? Berapa kerat orang yang dapat faedah dari koridor pembangunan di sana-sini?

Subsidi minyak yang ditanggung kerajaan mencapai 35 billion setahun. Kerajaan bersungguh-sungguh untuk mengurangkan subsidi minyak ini kerana kalau harga minyak tidak dinaikkan dengan segera ianya akan mengganggu peruntukan kerajaan bagi membangunkan koridor-koridor di seluruh negara yang bernilai ratusan billion.

Yang orang asyik berhujah ialah harga minyak perlu dinaikkan kerana harga minyak dunia telah naik. Ada yang mengatakan ia masalah global. So yang kita fikir ialah kenapa nak risau tentang harga minyak dunia yang melambung naik kerana sepatutnya sebagai negara pengeluar minyak, Malaysia seharusnya gembira kerana bila harga minyak dunia naik, pendapatan Petronas jadi berlipat ganda.

So apa masalahnya? Walaupun Malaysia ada mengimport minyak dari luar untuk kegunaan tempatan, tapi bila dah net off dari pendapatan export, masih untung besar lagi. Adakah negara akan bankrupt kalau turunkan harga minyak?? Sudah tentu tidak. Sila lihat statistik di bawah:-

Allocation untuk mega projek:-

Koridor Utara : RM 17.5 billion
Koridor Timur : RM 112 billion
Wilayah Iskandar : RM 47 billion
Koridor Sabah : RM 105 billion
Koridor Sarawak : RM 107 billion

Bila kerajaan membuat pelan untuk pembangunan projek di atas, sudah tentulah kerajaan mempunyai wang yang banyak. Jadi, jika kerajaan sanggup membelanjakan ratusan billion untuk projek pembangunan seperti di atas yang hanya boleh dimanafaatkan oleh segelintir rakyat sahaja, kenapa nak tampung subsidi 35 billion setahun pun tak mampu? Mana yang lebih penting? Mana yang perlu diutamakan? Kebajikan rakyat atau projek mega?

Bila menteri-menteri beri komen tentang ekonomi, semuanya berkata yang bagus-bagus, tapi bila bercakap soal subsidi minyak, dah cakap lain pulak. So kalau TPM kata turunkan harga minyak akan buat negara bankrup, bagaimana projek ratusan billion di atas? Tak bankrupkah negara dengan projek ratusan billion tersebut?

Perlu diingat bahawa di samping pendapatan hasil petroleum, negara juga mempunyai hasil dari sumber lain seperti getah, sawit, taxation, balak dan lain-lain. Pendapatan tahunan negara kalau diambil kira harga minyak yang melambung naik bakal mencecah 200 billion setahun.

Dari jumlah tersebut susah sangat ke nak sumbangkan 50 billion untuk beri subsidi pada rakyat?

Ni korang compare ngan Turkmenistan.

Oil - production: 196,700 bbl/day (2005 est.)
GDP - per capita (PPP): $9,200 (2007 est.)

Ni Malaysia punya:

Oil - production: 751,800 bbl/day (2005 est.)
GDP - per capita (PPP): $14,400 (2007 est.)

Fikir-fikirkanlah sendiri...

*****xxxxx*****

Yep, mari kita fikirkan bersama, tapi fikir sampai pecah kepala pun, harga tetap tak turun punyelah!! So marilah kita sama-sama berdoa agar sesuatu yg "baru" benar-benar berlaku bila tiba masanya nanti.

Minyak NAIK lagi!!

Nasib badan. Mulai smlm 5 Jun 2008, harga petrol naik lg dr RM1.92/liter to RM2.70/liter. Peningkatan mendadak hampir 41%! Orangramai bersesak-sesak menuju ke stesen2 minyak berdekatan bila PM umumkan secara rasmi dan berita mulai tersebar luas.

Malam tu, aku spt biasa je nak balik dari ofis naik motor kapcai aku brand Yamaha Lagenda (110cc, so dapatla aku claim rebet rm150 bila renew roadtax nanti...huh! rm150 jer?), tengok2 jalan dah jam giler start dari depan ofis aku di Damansara Utama, all the way sepanjang LDP to my apt in Bandar Sunway. Satu sebabnya ialah bnyk kenderaan nak menyimpang ke stesen2 minyak yg terletak di sepnjng LDP tu, penuh menyebabkan depa semua Q sehingga melimpah ke highway!!

Aku yg naik motor ni pun nak cilok2 pun payah, perjalanan biasa ambik masa 10-15 minit jadi almost 45 minit!! Tu pun aku malas nak top-up full minyak motor aku tu sbb motor pun Q panjang giler!! Sampai kat area apt aku, penuh kenderaan nak tunggu turn masuk ke Shell yg dekat situ, plan aku nak refill penuh tank Wira aku pun tak jadi, walaupun tank memang dah almost empty dah. Malas aku nak sangkut dalam jam tu, baik aku gi main badminton jer, kebetulan setiap malam rabu jam 9 mlm aku main bdmntn ngn kengkawan kat Dewan Serbaguna Tmn Dato Hormat sampai jam 11 mlm. Balik dari main bdmntn tu pun aku tengok masih banyak vehicles menunggu turn, siap dgn lorry tanker 2 bijik pun dah ada nak top-up tangki minyak Shell tu. Licin beb minyak malam tu. Member2 seluruh Malaysia pun ada sms menceritakan keperitan Q nak isi minyak. Ada yg lebih malang, dahla berjam-jam tunggu, sampai turn, aleh2 minyak pulak habis. Kes naya ajer. Terlebih sudahhh!!

Aku fikir, isi penuh satu tank Wira aku tu pun berapa lama sangat tahannya, although aku leh save abt rm30 kalau isi penuh malam tu. Tapi esok lusa, kena isi jgk lagi. Aku duk kira2, dlm sebulan, minyak motor aku pakai dalam rm60, so harga baru ni, kos bertambahlah rm25. Minyak kereta dalam rm200 sebulan, so tmbhlah rm82. Belum lagi chain-reaction effectnya, harga barang2 dan perkhidmatan dah tentu akan naik. Kos sara hidup pasti meningkat, wallet pasti mengempis!!

Dlm paper hari ni, kos pengangkutan lori dah naik, so expectlah harga barang2 keperluan harian naik lagi lepas ni. Bank Negara pun duk expect inflation rate maybe naik to 5% from the current average 2.5% to 3%. Aku duk jangka, harga rokok pun mungkin naik even b4 sblm gomen naikkan tobacco tax utk bajet 2009 nanti. Skrg Dunhill 20s harga rm8.2, mungkin naik rm8.4, then lepas bajet naik jd rm9 or even rm10 sekotak nanti. Aduhaiiii, plan nak berenti merokok dah bertahun2 dah, tapi tak stop2 jgk, lagi kuat ada ler. Mungkin kena kurangkan banyak merokok ni, or tukar brand murah, tapi brand murah ni, rasanya tak sodap la plak, baik takyah hisap! Takpun, hisap rokok daun jer. Or hisap rokok yg taruk tembakau dalam paper yg kena gulung sendiri tu. Tak retilah aku!

Cuba kita tengok sikit sejarah kenaikan harga minyak di negara kita ni:

  1. sebelum tahun 1990 - RM 0.89
  2. tahun 1990 - RM 1.10 (kenaikan RM 0.21)
  3. 01/10/2000 - RM 1.20 (kenaikan RM 0.10)
  4. 20/10/2001 - RM 1.30 (kenaikan RM 0.10)
  5. 01/05/2002 - RM 1.32 (kenaikan RM 0.02)
  6. 31/10/2002 - RM 1.33 (kenaikan RM 0.01)
  7. 01/03/2003 - RM 1.35 (kenaikan RM 0.02)
  8. 01/05/2004 - RM 1.37 (kenaikan RM 0.02)
  9. 01/10/2004 - RM 1.42 (kenaikan RM 0.05)
  10. 05/05/2005 - RM 1.52 (kenaikan RM 0.10)
  11. 31/07/2005 - RM 1.62 (kenaikan RM 0.10)
  12. 28/02/2006 - RM 1.92 (kenaikan RM 0.30)
  13. 4/06/2008 - RM2.70 (kenaikan RM0.78)
Peritnyalah kesan minyak naik ni. Bg org2 yg berpendapatan sederhana ok mcm aku ni, leh la survive lagi, walaupun terasalah jugak. Tp cmana plak ngn depa yg berpendapatan rendah? Keluarga besar, income di bawah paras kemiskinan. Banyak lagi org2 miskin dan takde income stabil dan memuaskan dalam Mesia ni. Bgmana dgn mereka? Kesiannya. Ubah cara hidup? Cara hidup mereka pun ada yg kais pagi makan pagi, nak ubah camananya lagi? Kais pagi makan tengahari, kasi petang makan pagi esok? Utk org2 yg memang sentiasa terlebih duit tu, takpela, bolehla ubah cara hidup, dari makan 5-star turun 4-star, dari lepak hari2 minum kopi berbelas2 ringgit secawan, lepak jer 2-3 hari seminggu, dari shopping di London, Paris, New York, shopping jer kat Singapore, or dr Singapore tukar ke Suria KLCC. Depa bolehlah, org2 yg setiap bulan menunggu gaji yg cukup tak cukup tu, nak ubah cara hidup camana laginya?

Cuba lihat sikit perbandingan dgn negara2 pengeluar minyak yg lain, kita ni negara pengeluar, boleh eksport lagi minyak, bukan negara 100% pengimport minyak mcm negara jiran utara, barat dan selatan kita.
  • UAE: RM1.19/liter
  • Eygpt: RM1.03/liter
  • Bahrain: RM0.87/liter
  • Qatar: RM0.68/liter
  • Kuwait: RM0.67/liter
  • Saudi Arabia: RM0.38/liter
  • Iran: RM0.35/liter
  • Nigeria: RM0.32/liter
  • Turkmenistan: RM0.25/liter
  • MALAYSIA: RM2.70/liter

Memanglah tak setinggi harga di UK (rm7/liter) or US (rm5/liter) tapi pendapatan per kapita rakyat depa jauh lebih tinggi dari kita semua ni. Even rakyat negara jiran pun earning more than us, tapi time nak isi minyak, isi kat negara kita jugak. Hmmmm, what an irony!

Udahla naik melampau, secara mengejut monyet lak tu. Kata nak tunggu Ogos, tak jadi plak, at least, tunggulah sehingga habis cuti sekolah ni ke. Kesian parents yg bawa anak2 cuti2 jauh tu, terpaksa keluarkan extra cost secara mengejut jugak. Terbantut la jugak plan nak gi cuti2 Mesia aku. Heh heh....cuti asyik plan jer, tapi tak pegi2 pun lagi, duit habis gak, savings ada tak de jer aku ni. Hampeh! 28hb ni nak kena balik Ganu plak ni, kenduri kahwin anak sedara aku yg comel-lote tu. Kalau sorang, aku tak baliklah, nasib kakak n abg aku nak join sama, so leh la tong-tong duit minyak kereta dan tol.

Apapun, nak wat camana. Harungi jerlah, bebanyakkan sabar, doa dan tawakkal. Aku harap satu jer, semoga betul2 ada perubahan "besar" menjelang sambutan Hari Malaysia kita nanti. Kita tengok plak camana selepas tu.

Lawak TM

Telekom punya telefon.

Ada sorang lelaki bernama Bedal, baru buka perniagaan khidmat nasihat. Officenya amat canggih, sederet dengan beberapa ofis yang lain. Bedal seorang pakar perunding perniagaan, baru tamat belajar di luar negara, jadi nak mencuba nasib dalam bidang perniagaan, tekad tak mahu kerja ngan orang lain. Ofis dia masih baru, baru renovate la katakan.

Selepas sebulan ofis dibuka, perniagaan Bedal masih belum bergerak, sampai sekarang satu bisnes pun tak dapat lagi. Sampai sekarang sorang pun belum pernah singgah kat ofis/kedai dia tu. Bedal pening, signboard kat luar ofis dia tu mahal tuuuuu, beribu ringgit. Lobi sambut tetamu dah canggih, cuma belum ada pekerja lagi, Bedal sorang2 je handle.

Pada suatu hari, ada seorang lelaki masuk kedai dia, apa lagi Bedal pun berasa bangga giler, 1st customer la katakan. Bedal cepat2 duduk kat meja dia, ambil phone Telekom atas meja dia tu, berlakon olok-olok bercakap dengan seseorang, saje je nak tunjuk perniagaan dia memang bagus giler, perniagaan ribu2 ringgit.

Sambil menyuruh lelaki tu duduk depan dia, dan suruh tunggu kejap kerana dia masih cakap kat phone tu (padahal berlakon aje), ini perbualan Bedal di telefon:

“Ye Dato’, ooo pasal project tu dato’, saya akan uruskan dato’, ala dato’ bayar kat saya beratus ribu, takkan saya main2 buat kerja ni dato’, lagi pun sudah terlalu banyak perniagaan yang menjadi bukti kejayaan kami, itu dah cukup menggambarkan keberkesanan perkhidmatan kami……ok dato’…baik dato’…Oklah dato’…nanti kita jumpa kat Hotel Hilton malam ni….ok dato’….bye!”

Bedal pun meletakkan telefon, lalu mula bersembang dengan lelaki yang duduk terkebil-kebil di depannya tadi, menunggu Bedal.

“Ya encik, terima kasih kerana memerlukan khidmat nasihat perniagaan kami, maaf kerana menunggu tadi, maklumlah perniagaan kami terlalu pesat berkembang, tak menang tangan, banyak sangat permintaan. Ya, ada apa yang kami boleh bantu dalam perniagaan encik?” tanya Bedal.

Lelaki tu menjawab “Saya technician Telekom, nak sambungkan line telefon tu, magic gak encik ni, macamana boleh guna phone kalau takde line?”

Bedal pun %$@&^% ^*%^*^ $!!$#$&, cuci muka ngan air longkang! Maluuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kuangg... Kuanggg... Kuangggggggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!

What CIA wrote about Malaysia

According to the site, the info was last updated on 15 May 2008.

Background:

During the late 18th and 19th centuries, Great Britain established colonies and protectorates in the area of current Malaysia; these were occupied by Japan from 1942 to 1945. In 1948, the British-ruled territories on the Malay Peninsula formed the Federation of Malaya, which became independent in 1957. Malaysia was formed in 1963 when the former British colonies of Singapore and the East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak on the northern coast of Borneo joined the Federation. The first several years of the country's history were marred by a Communist insurgency, Indonesian confrontation with Malaysia, Philippine claims to Sabah, and Singapore's secession from the Federation in 1965. During the 22-year term of Prime Minister MAHATHIR bin Mohamad (1981-2003), Malaysia was successful in diversifying its economy from dependence on exports of raw materials to expansion in manufacturing, services, and tourism.

(Why no mention at all of the PM after Dr M in the Background section? Or all the PMs before him?)

Flag description:

14 equal horizontal stripes of red (top) alternating with white (bottom); there is a blue rectangle in the upper hoist-side corner bearing a yellow crescent and a yellow 14-pointed star; the crescent and the star are traditional symbols of Islam; the design was based on the flag of the US.




(Hmmm, our flag really does look like US' flag, but is the allegation that it was "based" on the US' flag true?)

Economy - overview:

Malaysia, a middle-income country, has transformed itself since the 1970s from a producer of raw materials into an emerging multi-sector economy. Since coming to office in 2003, Prime Minister ABDULLAH has tried to move the economy farther up the value-added production chain by attracting investments in high technology industries, medical technology, and pharmaceuticals. The Government of Malaysia is continuing efforts to boost domestic demand to wean the economy off of its dependence on exports. Nevertheless, exports - particularly of electronics - remain a significant driver of the economy. As an oil and gas exporter, Malaysia has profited from higher world energy prices, although the rising cost of domestic gasoline and diesel fuel forced Kuala Lumpur to reduce government subsidies. Malaysia "unpegged" the ringgit from the US dollar in 2005 and the currency appreciated 6% per year against the dollar in 2006-07. Although this has helped to hold down the price of imports, inflationary pressures began to build in 2007. Healthy foreign exchange reserves and a small external debt greatly reduce the risk that Malaysia will experience a financial crisis over the near term similar to the one in 1997. The government presented its five-year national development agenda in April 2006 through the Ninth Malaysia Plan, a comprehensive blueprint for the allocation of the national budget from 2006-10. With national elections expected within the year, ABDULLAH has unveiled a series of ambitious development schemes for several regions that have had trouble attracting business investment. Real GDP growth has averaged about 6% per year under ABDULLAH, but regions outside of Kuala Lumpur and the manufacturing hub Penang have not fared as well.

(Nonetheless, the current PM is mentioned extensively here)

Telephone system:

general assessment: modern system; international service excellent.
domestic: good intercity service provided on Peninsular Malaysia mainly by microwave radio relay; adequate intercity microwave radio relay network between Sabah and Sarawak via Brunei; domestic satellite system with 2 earth stations; combined fixed-line and mobile cellular teledensity approaching 100 per 100 persons.
international: country code - 60; landing point for several major international submarine cable networks that provide connectivity to Asia, Middle East, and Europe; satellite earth stations - 2 Intelsat (1 Indian Ocean, 1 Pacific Ocean) (2001).

(At least, they praised us for our excellent telephone system. So what is the company that provided all these excellent sytems since before independence? TM, of course!)

Trafficking in persons:

current situation: Malaysia is a destination and, to a lesser extent, a source and transit country for women and children trafficked for the purposes of sexual exploitation; foreign victims, mostly women and girls from Burma, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, are trafficked to Malaysia for commercial sexual exploitation; economic migrants from countries in the region who work as domestic servants or laborers in the construction and agricultural sectors face exploitative conditions in Malaysia that meet the definition of involuntary servitude; some Malaysian women, primarily of Chinese ethnicity, are trafficked abroad for sexual exploitation.
tier rating: Tier 3 - lack of satisfactory progress in combating trafficking in 2006; the government failed to prosecute traffickers arrested and detained under existing law and failed to provide adequate shelters and services to victims of trafficking.

(Phewww!! What an embarrassment to our beloved country if only all of these allegations were true)

Lawak 18SX

  • Wanita lebih sejuk dari peti ais kerana ada barang yang belum sempat dimasuk, sudahpun keras!
  • Kajian mendapati bayi lelaki lebih manja dari bayi perempuan. Bayi perempuan paling lama menyusu hingga 2 tahun tapi bayi lelaki menyusu hingga ke tua.
  • Petua untuk isteri, kalau mahu tahu suami dah curang dengan pompuan lain; bila suami balik rumah, rendam suami dalam bath tub. Kalau buahnya terapung, hukumnya sah 'air' sudah buang.
  • Beza wanita & gajah - gajah ditembak dulu baru rebah, wanita rebah dulu baru ditembak.
  • Beza lelaki & gajah - gajah kepalanya berbelalai, lelaki belalainya berkepala.
  • Ramai tertanya-tanya kenapa anu lelaki berdiri tegak ketika melakukan hubungan kelamin. Setelah dikaji secara teliti, rupa-rupanya di dalam anu perempuan ada lagu "NEGARAKU".
  • Inilah doa si isteri jika kemaluan suaminya disengat tebuan. "Ya Allah, hilangkanlah kesakitan yang ditanggung suamiku, tetapi kekalkanlah bengkaknya, Amin...."
  • Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang bangun dan mandi di subuh-subuh hari adalah orang-orang yang mengerjakan bininya malam tadi.

Just 4 da sake of humor! Jgn marah saya ye, I just "copy-paste" this from an email someone sent me. TQ.

Malam Pertama

Malam itu ialah MALAM PERTAMA DI ALAM KUBUR!

Pernahkah engkau melihat kuburan?
Pernahkah engkau melihat gelapnya kuburan?
Pernahkah engkau melihat sempit dan dalamnya liang lahat?
Pernahkah engkau membayangkan kengerian dan kedahsyatan alam kubur?
Sedarkah engkau bahawa kuburan itu dipersiapkan untukmu dan untuk orang-orang selain darimu?
Bukankah telah silih berganti engkau melihat teman-teman, orang-orang tercinta dan keluarga terdekatmu diusung dari dunia fana ini ke kuburan?

Apakah Malam Pertama Kita di Alam Kubur Nanti Asyik dan Nikmat atau Penuh Derita dan Sengsara?

Wahai anak Adam, apa yang telah engkau persiapkan saat malam pertamamu nanti di alam kubur? Tidakkah engkau tahu, bahawa ia adalah malam yang sangat mengerikan. Malam yang kerananya para ulama’ serta orang-orang yang soleh menangis dan orang-orang bijak mengeluh. Apa tidaknya, kala itu kita sedang berada di dua persimpangan dan di dunia yang amat berbeza.

“Suatu hari pasti engkau akan tinggalkan tempat tidurmu (di dunia), dan ketenangan pun menghilang darimu. Bila engkau berada di kuburmu pada malam pertama, demi Allah, fikirkanlah untung nasibmu dan apa yang akan terjadi padamu di sana?”

Hari ini kita berada di dunia yang penuh keriangan dengan anak-anak, keluarga dan sahabat handai, dunia yang diterangi dengan lampu-lampu yang pelbagai warna dan sinaran, dunia yang dihidangkan dengan pelbagai makanan yang lazat-lazat serta minuman yang pelbagai, tetapi pada keesokannya kita berada di malam pertama di dalam dunia yang kelam gelap-gelita, lilin-lilin yang menerangi dunia adalah amalan-amalan yang kita lakukan, dunia sempit yang dikelilingi tanah dan bantalnya juga tanah.

Pada saat kita mula membuka mata di malam pertama kita di alam kubur, segala-galanya amat menyedihkan, tempik raung memenuhi ruang yang sempit tapi apakan daya semuanya telah berakhir. Itukah yang kita mahukan? Pastinya tidak bukan? Oleh itu beramallah dan ingatlah sentiasa betapa kita semua akan menempuhi MALAM PERTAMA DI ALAM KUBUR!

Di dalam usahanya mempersiapkan diri menghadapi malam pertama tersebut, adalah diceritakan bahawa Rabi’ bin Khutsaim menggali liang kubur di rumahnya. Bila ia mendapati hatinya keras, maka ia masuk ke liang kubur tersebut. Ia menganggap dirinya telah mati, lalu menyesal dan ingin kembali ke dunia, seraya membaca ayat:

“Ya Rabbku, kembalikanlah aku semula (ke dunia), agar aku dapat berbuat amal soleh terhadap apa yang telah kutinggalkan (dahulu).” (Surah Al-Mu’minun, ayat 99-100)

Kemudian ia menjawab sendiri; “Kini engkau telah dikembalikan ke dunia wahai Rabi’..” Dan disebabkan hal tersebut, Rabi’ bin Khutsaim didapati pada hari-hari sesudahnya sentiasa dalam keadaan beribadah dan bertaqwa kepada Allah!

Wahai saudaraku, tidakkah engkau menangis atas kematian dan sakaratul maut yang bakal menjemputmu?Wahai saudaraku, tidakkah engkau menangis atas kuburan dan kengerian yang ada di dalamnya? Wahai saudaraku, tidakkah engkau menangis kerana takut akan hausnya di hari penyesalan? Wahai saudaraku, tidakkah engkau menangis kerana takut kepada api Neraka di Hari Kiamat nanti?

Sesungguhnya kematian pasti menghancurkan kenikmatan para penikmatnya. Oleh itu, carilah (kenikmatan) hidup yang tidak ada kematian di dalamnya.

“Ya Allah, tolonglah kami ketika sakaratul maut!”
