088 Be happy with your life

Assalamualaikum.

Masa baca buku ni, mengalir air mata macam ape. Sorang2 kat library pulak tu. Kalau orang tengok, apa kena lah minah ni nangis sorang2 macam fail exam *oh please don't*. Buku bertajuk Natrah : Cinta Rusuhan dan Air Mata, ade kat library hospital. Silalah browse, pinjam dan hayati.

Buku ni mengisahkan tentang Natrah @ Bertha Herthog seorang remaja Belanda yang dilahirkan di Indonesia dan diambil sebagai anak angkat secara sah oleh Che Aminah dari Kemaman. Kisah hidup dia ni sangat menyayat hati dimana keluarga asalnya telah membawa kes Natrah ke mahkamah untuk menuntut balik hak penjagaan. Natrah masa tu umur baru 13 tahun telah dikahwinkan dengan seorang pemuda bernama Mansoor yang umurnya 22 tahun ketika itu atas nama cinta. Atas sebab budaya, agama umur perkahwinan bawah umur yang pelik pada pandangan orang Barat ketika tu, kes Natrah telah diambil oleh pihak mahkamah Barat yang akhirnya telah memulangkan balik hak penjagaan Natrah kepada ibu bapa asal.

 

Jadi bermulalah kisah menyayat hati dimana kes rusuhan telah berlaku dimana orang Muslim Melayu tidak puas hati dengan keputusan mahkamah kerana Natrah masa kecilnya telah dibesarkan dengan cara Melayu, dengan beragama Islam. Kes rusuhan tersebut telah mengorbankan bebrapa orang Melayu dan mencederakan beberapa yang lain.

Natrah dengan ibu angkatnya, Che Aminah

Natrah pula yang telah dibawa pulang Belanda melalui zaman kanak2 yang susah. Kerana di Malaysia, Natrah dibesarkan oleh Che Aminah dalan keluarga yang senang dan berada (Che Aminah ialah adalah keturunan bangsawan ketika itu), di Belanda pula keluarga Natrah adalah miskin, dia terpakasa membuat kerja2 rumah dan telah dipandang hina kerana kisah hidupnya di Malaysia.

Ok. Tu je, lalalala. Nak tau lebih, silalah baca sendiri ye.. FYI, Natrah dah pun meninggal dunia pada tahun 2009 lepas. Mansoor aka cinta Natrah yang tak kesampaian (cheewaah) pun sudah meninggal pada tahun 1998 ke 1997, tak ingat. It's just sad that I am a bit late to learn about her. Tapi yang pasti kisah dia ni sangat lah menyedihkan, boleh jadi iktibar kepada semua, InsyaAllah~

085 Tak rasa bersalahkah?

Salam

Saye bukan perfek sangat nak menegur orang lain, ilmu saye, paras dada pun tak sampai. Umur? hmph~ tak payah cakap lah, baru setahun jagung (tibe2 nak rase macam muda XD). Tapi pada umur macam ni, seharusnya, dah pandai berfikir, dah pandai buat decision mana satu baik dan mana satu buruk. Tapi bila baca blog 'makcik' ni, memang beristighfar panjang2, scroll bawah sikit, istighfar, klik sekali, mngucap, klik dua kali terus tak sanggup nak baca.

Penulis membahasakan diri sendiri sebagai 'makcik'. Yakni, seseorang yang lebih tua(dari umur sayalah). Pada saya, kalau umur lagi tua tu memang wajib kita hormat.Tapi melihat penulisan dan pandangan2 beliau, memang tak mampu nak panggil 'makcik' or 'akak'.

Secondly, her posts, even an eleven years old Muslimin or Muslimah can't even agree to her. (cuba lah try tanye budak2 kecik dekat sekolah agama. Once, in my old school, a 5 y/o kid can't even went to the toilet, she's just standing in front of it. When asked why? She said she forget the du'a for entering the toilet. Innocent, naaah~  She's just abiding the rules.. and yeah, with a little bit of innocent side ;D)

Thirdly, I thought she stopped already!!! Why there is no action taken, she's too much!

I am posting this address not to advertise her blog, just want to make Muslims realize this is what we'll be if we are not careful enough on what we've exposed to.

084 Betty bought what??!

Salam,


Just wanna share some tounge twister thingy. It's been a long time since I've heard that and it brings back memories. *chewwah~*


1. She sells seashell by the seashore


2. Betty bought a butter but the butter that Betty bought was bitter so Betty bought another butter to make the bitter butter better.


3. Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?

4. If you stick a stock of liquor in your locker, it is slick to stick a lock upon your stock or some joker who is slicker is going to trick you of your liquor if you fail to lock your liquor with a lock.\

Smile!

Try lah before berbuka ni.. ;D

071 Jazz World. The Hierarchy.

Salam.

bunga kat tepi tu yang tak boleh blah tu

Bukan Prince Harry je ada family line tau *tukar minat kat Prince Harry pulak sebab Prince William dah kahwin.* Siapa minat Jazz music? Okay, memang tak ramai yang minat jazz kan sekarang ni. Sebab k-pop sedang berleluasa. WOooHhooo! Baiklah, off-topic.

Selain k-pop, saya suka jugak jazz sikit2. Mesti ramai yang pelik kan? Sebab kalau orang tengok muka saya je mesti diorang teringat k-pop diatas sebab-sebab tertentu. Hahaha. 

So, berbalik kepada jazz music, tau tak suku sakat kaum penyanyi jazz ni ada hierarchy diorang sendiri. Tapi ni daripada US la kan. Diorang siap ada god of jazz, the king and queen, the prince dan sebagainya. Ntah ape2. Kau orang jangan sesat menyimpang pulak pergi menyembah god of jazz lepas baca post ni tau. 

Apepun, jom tengok list2 jazz royalties ni okay.

Art Tatum
Ni lah god diorang. Seriously, his piano skills was amazing!

God: Art Tatum

bukan Channing Tatum dalam Step Up tu tau, tapi tatau lah kot2 ade gene tersembunyi disitu.

Nah, cuba check ada iras2 tak?

Kalau dengar sekali je dah rasa happy.

Tapi kalau tengah marah2, pergi dengar lagu Linkin Park je.

Makcik Sarah tak dapat nak nolong korang.

Oh ye. Sempena menyambut exam yang dah habis, saya pergi tengok Fast Five. Obviously the best!!!

*blush*

Suka tengok muka Paul Walker yang blur!

058 Watch your mouth because it hurts.

Like seriously. People nowadays seriously need to watch out. Kalau cakap main lepas macam air paip tu, tolonglah buat ayat dulu kat kepala. Sebab, kadangkala, ayat-ayat ni menyakitkan hati dan sebagainya. 

1. For example, when someone you know enter a competition, and they won. Then they keep talking about it after that just because she's happy. Patutkah anda cakap "So kau nak kata kau terror lah ni ek?"? Patut ke? Patut ke? Patut ke? For me, it's okay lah dia nak cerita pasal kemenangan dia. Mestilah dia rasa hepi n bangga dapat menang. Dan mestilah dia nak share story dia. In life, kalau tak cerita kat mak or bapak of course lah the next goes to 'the bestfriend'. Tapi kalau takde mak or bapak. So automatically it goes to the friend. 


2. Another example. Is it nice to say something like "You are kind of busuk la." to other people just because they are sweating? Like hello~ they know it! They feel sorry too to others because they are sweating like hell after exercise or walking up the forever-ongoing-stairs. They don't need you to tell them, they just need a good bath... and a perfumed shower gel.

3. Or another example, when people say something, please listen cause they tell you something because they want too. Just answer it with a "hmm..." will do. Because they know you are listening...... and they know that they want you to stop. *because of the cold reaction* ;)) But when someone are talking there are people who doensn't reply anything and just doing something else*unless they are in their bad mood lah, you probably need to keep a distance-_-*


4. The last example, seriously kita patut jaga the way we are talking, Sometimes, they are tones that are not that cool and they are also tones that are sounds like demanding. 

Ni semua daripada pengalaman dan jugak pengamatan keadaan sekeliling. It's just that kita tak perasan yang even the littlest thing hurts. Dan kalau kita dah buat orang sakit hati kat kita, kita yang berdosa kan? kan? This is also like a reminder to me to not say anything that hurts. And also, maaf kalau terasa.


Lastly, words stabs deeper than the swords, so please be careful~ ;))

041 The Ondine's Curse

Tau tak.
dalam French folk tale, ade cite pasal Ondine and her curse.
Ondine is a water nymph.
mcm mermaid la..
so, like all other mermaids, she can't grow old unless if she fell in love with a human man.
and she did.
Then. when they get married, his human husband pledge that

"My every waking breath shall be my pledge of love and faithfulness to you."

So, in the end they get married.
But as Ondine grew to a more mature beauty,
her husband faithfulness grew lesser.
She caught her husband cheating on her with his former fiance.
Ondine still have little of her magic, so
she cursed him. Saying,

"You pledged faithfulness to me with your every waking breath and I accepted that pledge. So be it. For as long as you are awake, you shall breathe. But should you ever fall into sleep, that breath will desert you."

Maka, matilah husband die dalam tidur kerana tak boleh bernafas...
-the end-

Actually, ade medical disorder ni,
Namanya The Ondine's curse
It is genetic and very2x rare.
Biasenye, baby yang baru lahir yang dikatekan ade
CCSH (Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome)
mungkin mengalami penyakit ni.
Doktor2 pulak selalu je misjudge penyakit ondine's curse ni dengan penyakit2 lain yang mempunyai CCSH oleh kerana simptom2 yang same. .
Sbab CCSH ni lebar causes die.
Sbgai contoh, CCSH jugak boleh berlaku kpade infants yang ade cardiac failure
atau pulmonary disorder.

Ia seperti SOD (sleep apnea disorder) yang lain,
dimana pesakit akan mengalami kesukaran bernafas ketika tidur.
Macam biase, kite kan bernafas boleh either involuntarily n voluntarily,
tapi, pesakit ni tak ade kawalan dalam pernafasan secare involuntarily.
Maka, ketika tidur pesakit akan "lupa bernafas"
dan boleh menyebabkan kematian.
Yang ni tatau lagi lah.
Tapi, dikatakan bahawa kalau x treat patient ni awal2, die akan
menyebabkan rapid aging.

menarikkan?
macam mane satu penyakit tu boleh diadaptasi dari sebuah folk-tale je.
Tapi either kebetulan or other else, tatau la.
Tapi bagi saye, still sgt menarik cerita ni...

p/s: I think that this will be the topic of my 2nd BEL presentation.
Ok tak? ok tak?

p.p.s : baru balik kem BTN. penat naik bas melambung2 bukan sebab penat aktiviti.
sampai sakit2 gluteus maximus-ku~

037 Kito Aya, 1 litre of tears. I cried too.

Kito Aya (July 1962 - May 23, 1988) was a bright cheerful girl. She wrote a diary about her life before she went to eternal sleep at the age of 26 years old. She was diagnosed to have spinocerebellar degeneration disease when she was 15. Since then she wrote a diary, 1 Litre of Tears, about her thoughts about life and the progression of her disease and her strength to live on until she was dead. The disease which have no cure at that time and until now causes a person to lose the ability to walk and talk, generally the person affected will not be able to control over their own body.

She was strong in accepting the reality of her disease. Her diary touches people all over the world and was sold to millions of copies. It was also made into a drama which I cried tonnes of tears when I saw it. FYI, I rarely cried 'wholeheartedly' when watching dramas or movies. But this is different. Her thoughts moved me. Her strength motivate me. I want to become just like that person and live on. Why sometimes we think that our lives was so miserable? We are blessed. We have the life. Aya did have life too but she cannot have the life the way she wanted. Thinking of that, I feel so blessed.

Kito Aya when she was 18. She started to move around on wheelchair at this time.

When she was 23.

Before she had the disease

Her diary, 1 Litre of Tears.

p/s: esok suda start belajar... Good luck to me!

04The Secret Behind Name

You Are Bold and Fearless

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?
