Peringatan Buatku Yang Lupa...
Waktu engkau masih kanak-kanak
Kau laksana kawan sejatiku
Dengan wudu', Aku kau sentuh dalam keadaan suci,
Aku kau pegang, Aku, kau junjung dan kau pelajari
Aku engkau baca dengan suara lembutmu atau pun keras setiap hari
Setelah selesai engkau menciumku mesra…
Sekarang engkau telah dewasa
Nampaknya kau sudah tak berminat lagi padaku
Apakah Aku bahan bacaan usang yang tinggal sejarah?
Menurutmu Aku bahan bacaan yang tidak menambah pengetahuanmu
Atau, menurutmu Aku hanya untuk anak kecil yang belajar mengaji
Sekarang, Aku tersimpan rapi sekali
Sehingga engkau lupa di mana Aku tersimpan
Aku sudah engkau anggap hanya sebagai pengisi stormu
Sekarang seawal pagi sambil minum kopi,
Engkau baca surat khabar dahulu ,
Waktu lapang engkau membaca buku karangan manusia
Sedangkan Aku yang berisi ayat-ayat yang datang dari Allah Azzawajalla
Engkau abaikan dan engkau lupakan
Waktu mula ketempat kerja pun engkau lupa baca pembuka surah2ku (Bismillah)
Di dalam perjalanan engkau lebih asyik menikmati musik duniawi
Tidak ada kaset atau CD yang berisi ayat Allah yang terdapat di dalam keretamu
Sepanjang perjalanan,radiomu selalu tertuju ke radio kesukaanmu
Di meja kerjamu tidak ada Aku untuk kau baca sebelum kau mulai kerjamu
Di komputermu pun kau putar muzik favouritemu
Jarang sekali engkau putar Ayat-Ayatku
E-mail temanmu yang ada Ayat-Ayatku pun kau buat tak tahu
Engkau terlalu sibuk dengan urusan dunia mu
Benarlah dugaanku bahawa engkau kini sudah hampir melupaiKu
Bila malam tiba engkau sanggup bersekang mata berjam-jam di depan TV
Menonton siaran televisyen
Di depan komputer berjam-jam engkau tak lenguh duduk
Hanya sekadar membaca berita murahan dan gambar tak senonoh.
Waktu pun cepat berlalu
Aku semakin kusam didalam laci-laci almarimu
Mengumpul debu atau mungkin dimakan hama
Bila engkau di kubur sendirian menunggu sampai kiamat tiba
Engkau akan diperiksa oleh para malaikat suruhanNya
Apakah TV, radio ,hiburan atau komputer dapat menolong kamu?
Yang pasti ayat-ayat Allah s.w.t yang ada padaku menolong mu
Itu janji Tuhanmu, Allah s.w.t
Sekarang engkau begitu mudah membuang waktumu
Setiap saat berlalu dan akhirnya,…..
Kubur yang setia menunggu muEngkau pasti kembali,…. kembali kepada Tuhanmu
Peganglah Aku kembali, bacalah Aku kembali setiap hari
Kerana ayat-ayat yang ada padaku adalah ayat-ayat suci
Yang berasal dari Allah Azzawajalla
Tuhan Yang Maha Pengasih dan Maha Pemurah
Yang disampaikan oleh Jibril melalui Rasulmu
Keluarkanlah segera Aku dari almari serta lacimu
Letakkan Aku selalu di depan meja kerjamu
Agar engkau senantiasa mengingat Tuhanmu
Sentuhilah Aku kembali
Baca dan pelajari lagi Aku ,setiap datangnya pagi,petang dan malam hari
walau pun secebis ayat
Seperti dulu, waktu engkau masih kecil
Di surau kecil kampungmu yang damai & rumah Allah Aku disimpan.
Jangan Aku engkau biarkan Aku sendiri
Dalam bisu dan sepi…
Kau laksana kawan sejatiku
Dengan wudu', Aku kau sentuh dalam keadaan suci,
Aku kau pegang, Aku, kau junjung dan kau pelajari
Aku engkau baca dengan suara lembutmu atau pun keras setiap hari
Setelah selesai engkau menciumku mesra…

For All The Ladies....
Got this thru’ e-mail today, and thought I’d share it with all my girlfriends…
Woman to Woman
Someone will always be prettier.
They will always be smarter.
Their house will be bigger.
They will drive a better car.
Their children will do better in school.
And their husband will fix more things around the house.
So let it go, and love yourself and your circumstances.
Think about it.
The prettiest woman in the world can have hell in her heart.
And the most highly favored woman on your job may be unable to have children.
And the richest woman you know - she's got the car, the house, the clothes - might be lonely.
So, love yourself. Love who you are right now.
Tell yourself "I am too blessed to be stressed"
"To the world you might be one person, but to one person you just might be the world".

The Passion of the (Shah Rukh) Khan
Even though I hate to admit it, I am a sucker for Hindi films. Maksud aku, ialah filem-filem Shah Rukh Khan zaman 90-an. Aku tak tau what’s happening dengan filem2 recent Bollywood. So full of sex, scandal and eye-candies with acting skills that can make even a cardboard goes green with envy. Rasa dah takde passion nak tonton, walaupun heronya hensem giler…
Here is my three all-time favourite Hindi movie with SRK (in no particular order):-
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995)
Kali pertama aku menonton filem ni tanpa subtitle (apa la bodo punya VCD), tapi aku nangis jugak.
In a nutshell : Mengisahkan Simran (Kajol) yang tinggal di London bersama keluarganya, terpaksa pulang ke India untuk mengahwini jejaka bangang pilihan bapanya atas man-to-man promise. Dia menerima jodoh tersebut, sehinggalah dia terjumpa Raj (SRK) semasa bercuti di Europe dan jatuh cinta. (Kira cinta terlarang la ni..)
Aku suka babak : Usaha Raj mengambil hati keluarga Simran secara diam-diam.
Babak Kleenex : Masa mak Simran bagi barang-barang kemas kepada pasangan kekasih tu, suruh mereka kawin lari (sebab there is no way that the father is going to agree on this marriage), dan jawapan Raj memang membuat air mata aku laju jek…
Lagu-lagu best : Mere Khwabon Mein (Kajol pakai tuala…), Hogaya Hai Tujhko & Mehndi Laga Ke Rakhna. Classic!
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998)
Dua kali tonton di panggung. Sekali ngan boyfriends dan sekali lagi ngan girlfriends masa kat UiTM dulu.
In a nutshell : Kisah Rahul (SRK) dan anaknya Anjali. Maknye si Anjali, Tina (Rani Mukherjee) mati selepas melahirkannya. Sebelum mati, Tina meninggalkan 8 pucuk surat untuk dibuka pada setiap harijadi Anjali. Surat ke-8 adalah yang paling penting, di mana Tina meminta Anjali menemukan semula bapanya Rahul dengan kawan baiknya semasa kolej iaitu Anjali juga namanya (Kajol). Banyak berkisar tentang kisah cinta tiga segi Rahul-Anjali si tomboy-Tina semasa dikolej.
These 2 should get the Nobel Prize for Chemistry!
Aku suka babak : Almost all!!!
Babak Kleenex : Silalah ke sambungan ni kat imdb.com. fyi, aku yang start thread nih.. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0172684/board/nest/14560075
Lagu-lagu best : Ladki Badi Anjani Hai, Koi Mil Gaya, almost all also lah.
Dil To Pagal Hai (1997)
Rasa cam nak menari sama jek…
In a nutshell : Rahul (lagi! SRK) sedang mencari cinta sejati. Nisha (Karisma Kapoor), merupakan kawan baik Rahul dan dalam diam-diam menyintainya, tetapi hanya dianggap kawan oleh Rahul. They both owned a group that plays musical dramas, di mana Nisha sering menjadi heroin Rahul. Satu hari, Nisha tercedera, dan tidak dapat menari selama 3 bulan. Semasa mencari pengganti sementara Nisha, Rahul bertemu Pooja (Madhuri Dixit) dan apa lagi, jatuh cinta la…Masalahnya, Pooja telah terhutang budi kepada keluarga yang membesarkannya di mana anak mereka (Akshay Kumar) juga telah jatuh cinta kepadanya, Choices, choices..
Aku suka babak : The Dance of Envy
Babak Kleenex : Tak berapa ingat la…
Lagu-lagu best : Bholi Si Surat, DTPH theme song.
Rasanya ada banyak lagi filem yang belum aku tonton. Bukannya tak nak, tapi tak sanggup. Reason being :-
Aku jenis yang mudah menangis. Satu kotak Kleenex pun mungkin tak cukup. Contohnya, K3G.
Tak kuasa nak menanguk 3 jam depan TV.
Next movies to watch :-
Kaante
Kata orang, filem ni remake filem favorit aku- Reservoir Dogs. Nak tau betul ke tidak, just watch it!
Mudhabbai M.B.B.S
Sanjay Dutt in a comic role. Looking forward to that.
Girlfriends
For THAT controversial scenes.
Seen any good Bollywood movies lately?

Sanggupkah Anda?
Sempena Mother's Day yang akan datang ni, aku hidangkan kisah-kisah tauladan untuk semua. Enjoy dan ambillah iktibar...
Kisah ini berlaku hampir 1 tahun yg lalu, seorang ibu tua dibawa oleh anak lelakinya yang tinggal di bandar menziarahi ahli keluarga di sebuah kampung. Sekembali dari tempat ziarah, si ibu kelihatan terkocoh-kocoh, pantas berlari keluar dari kereta. Langkahnya agak tergopoh-gopoh menaiki anak tangga rumah. Fikir si anak yang masih belum sempat menarik handbrake keretanya, pasti si ibu bergegas untuk segera menunaikan solat Maghrib kerana azan telah berkumandang di surau yang berdekatan. Tapi bila dia mula menjejaki anak tangga, "Subhanallah!" si anak terkejut melihat najis bejejeran di anak tangga dan dilaman rumah. "Mak sakit perut rupanya," bisik hatinya. Tanpa berlengah segera disinsingnya lengan baju dan kaki seluar. Najis disodok dan dibuangkan. Getah paip ditarik lalu dialirkan air menuruni anak tangga.
Ibu yang sudah selesai membersihkan diri dan solat Maghrib terkocoh-kocoh sekali lagi menanggalkan telekung, mencapai baldi dan gayung dalam langkah yang terhencut-hencut cuba menuruni anak tangga. Terpana si ibu di muka pintu melihat anak-anak tangga sudah dimop bersih, seperti hilang akal sejenak. "Tak sembahyang Maghrib ke?" Tanya ibu kepada si anak dalam keadaan serba-salah. "Tak apalah mak, saya musafir, Maghrib tu di jamak takhir dengan Isyak nanti." Si ibu tak terkata apa. Tangan kanan masih memegang baldi. Tangan kiri pula memaut grill pintu. Matanya terus memerhatikan si anak, dalam hati penuh sebak dan keharuan, mengucap puji syukur pada Allah kerana anak yang diasuh sebesar dua tapak jari, dicucikan najisnya setiap hari itu, buat pertama kalinya menyucikan najis ibunya pula hari ini. "Ya Allah! begini mulia rahmatmu mengurniakan hamba mu ini anak yang soleh, dia mengenang jasa Ya Allah! dan membalas budi, aku bersyukur padamu.... aku bersyukur pada mu Ya Allah!" sempat si ibu memanjatkan doa dalam hati. Terasa benar maruahnya dihargai, tawadhuk sungguh mengecapi nikmat kasih.......
Rentetan dari peristiwa itu, dapat dilihat keberkatan dalam hidup si anak kerana apa saja kerja yang dibuat terasa dipermudahkan oleh Allah. Inilah yang dikatakan keberkatan memuliakan insan yang dimuliakan oleh Allah SWT.
Hadis Nabi saw : "Hinalah umatku, hinalah umatku, dimana dalam sisa usia orang tua mereka, tidak dimanfaatkan apa-apa untuk meraih rahmat dari Allah SWT"

The Boyz From Oz
I don’t know what they’re having down there (I mean in Australia/ NZ), but I LOOOVEE actors from Down Under. My Top 4 are as follows:-
Julian McMahon
I first noticed him as Cole Turner aka Mr Phoebe Halliwell from Charmed and now I’m addicted to Nip/Tuck, thanks to the presence of this hottie. As Dr Christian Troy, he kept me glued to my seat, even though the one shown on our national television is brutally censored by the powers –that- be. From my observation, he is one of the actors that gets better looking as he grew older (e.g. Kevin Costner, David Duchovny). His early photos suck! This son of a former Australian Prime Minister was once married to Dannii Minogue. I really, really look forward to his latest movie – Fantastic Four, where he played the role of Dr Doom. (Villain lagi?!)
"I like the oppourtunity to play characters who have these dark sides but make the audience empathise with them. You want them to think there is some kind of sweeter, softer side to it."
Russell Crowe
Alahai…dah lama aku tak dengar berita ttg mamat sorang ni. I had a crush on him ever since that Coliseum scene in Gladiator (2000) – “Are you not entertained?” Wow, I AM entertained, Mr Crowe! I certainly am! He had come a long way since his Romper Stomper days. One of his up-coming projects is titled Cinderella Man. Aik? Mr Cinderella ke? Rest assured, there will be no Erra Fazira or Yusri KRU involved.
"All that stuff, this public persona of me - let's call him 'the wild man' - that is not helpful. It doesn't make me more of a box office draw. It's the quality of my work that makes people want to go to my films."
Simon Baker
Simon played the ever-so- serious lawyer, Nick Fallin in (the now defunct TV series) The Guardian. I love the fact that he never smiles (as Nick la). Also in the sequel to The Ring- Samara.
"If you can't be proud of what you do, go and sell shoes. Do something else."
Hugh Jackman
Wolverine in X-Men. ‘Nuff said. Also chosen as one of People magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People in the World" 5 years in a row, 2000-2004. Obviously =D
"Now I meet people with full-color Wolverine tattoos on their backs. Thank God I did okay, because I think if I hadn't, they'd spit on me in the street." - on his role of Wolverine.

Patient Katil 17, Wad KK6
20/4/2005
Ikmal was admitted to HKL because of high fever. His eyes are a bit swollen, so we all suspected the worse - dengue. We went to HKL that night, together with Izma (Mama Dik Yah, my SIL, who is also a houseman in HKL), and admit that little fella to the Pediatric Ward. We stayed at Wad KK6, and as there were no enuff beds, us dua beranak shared one bed, while Sayang slept on the chair. Sayang went home at 4.00 a.m to take a REAL rest, and came back the next morning with our necessities.
Me got milk, me no problem !
Unlike the usual visits to the GP, Ikmal freaked out when the doctor on-call (one Dr Helmy) took his temperature and BP at 4.15 a.m. After that, every time the nurses came for the regular rounds, I have to struggle to keep him down (and quiet). Leceh betul.
No Spongebob spotted here at the Pediatric Ward Playground
After two blood tests, Ikmal is cleared of the suspected dengue. The doctors diagnosed him for Viral Pharyingitis (for laymen like us, pls visit http://healthgate.partners.org/browsing/browseContent.asp?fileName=11467.xml&title=Viral%20Pharyngitis) . Well, that explains his poor appetite.
Ikmal playing at the reception table. That car was a bribe to make sure he behaves during doctors'/nurses' rounds.
After 3 days, his health is getting better, except for some red rashes all over his body. Aku bimbang giler, takut si kecik tu kena measles, but then the doctors reassured us that there is no reason to be alarmed. Alhamdulillah, sekarang dah beransur ok. Alhamdulillah.

Make Me Beautiful...
Tell me what you don't like about youself...
My current indulgence. I borrowed the Nip/Tuck- The Complete Season One DVD from my office-mate, Sany, last fortnight, and until now, I still haven't finished the second disc, which is up to the 5th episode. Biasa la.. kena main tug of war ngan Ikmal, him with his Spongebob Squarepants...
Nip/Tuck is about the life of two plastic surgeons with a completely different outlook on life. Dr Christian Troy(played by the dashing Julian McMahon, last seen as Mr Phoebe Halliwell in Charmed), is a suave, sexy, manipulative guy, and he uses his charm to bed as many ladies as he could. His partner at McNamara/Troy, Dr Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) is a family man with two kids, but his marriage is not as what it seems, as his wife, Julia (played by Joely Richardson) is a woman with skeletons in her closet. The episodes revolved around their profession (termasuklah patients yang wierd and funny) and their intertwined and sometimes absurd love life.
Do you want it fine or do you want it perfect?
Season Two is currently shown on (8tv/ntv7? aku tak ingat), but then aku rasa aku akan dapatkan dalam versi DVD. No commercial breaks, and plus, you can watch extras. e.g deleted scenes from the cutting room floor. Tak sabar nak tengok !!!
Favourite quote : "[in reference to the vandalizing of his car] I'm serious, I felt violated. The last time I felt like this was back in the early 90s when some girl shoved her finger up my butt with no warning"- Christian
Favourite patient (until the current CD) : A tie between Sophia Lopez and Mrs Grubman
Tell me what you don't like about yourself : My tummy, my thighs, my a$$, post-Ikmal

Favourite quote : "[in reference to the vandalizing of his car] I'm serious, I felt violated. The last time I felt like this was back in the early 90s when some girl shoved her finger up my butt with no warning"- Christian
Favourite patient (until the current CD) : A tie between Sophia Lopez and Mrs Grubman
Tell me what you don't like about yourself : My tummy, my thighs, my a$$, post-Ikmal

For Love Or Money?
One thing I hate about this 'tengah bulan' scenario is my 'pokai-ness'. It really sucks when there are so many things that tempt you to buy, buy, buy, like this magazine I noticed when we were bringing Ikmal to the clinic in Taman Sri Ampang (the little angel is down with fever again, the 2nd time this month!)
I didn't notice the name of the magazine, First agaknya, but it's definitely a made in Malaysia MOVIE magazine. The cover, which caught my eyes featured my once flavour of the month - Clive Owen in his Dwight mode. Which movie is it? Yes... it's one of the most anticipated movie of 2005 - Frank Miller's Sin City !!!! I (literally) screamed my heart out as I flipped thru the contents. Wow, there it is, in black and white (just like the movie itself, gorgeous photos of the casts in their Sin City mode- Bruce Willis, Clive Owen, Mickey Rourke, Elijah Wood (post- Frodo Baggins) and the babelicious babes of the City - Devon Aoki, Rosario Dawson and Jessica Alba. Gosh, I nearly drooled on the mag, if not for the stare from the guy at the cash register...
Tak sabar nak tengok !!!!
But then, I didn't buy it. At RM9.50, it is considered as a luxury item at times like this. So, bubbye mag. Maybe I will look for you when the time comes...
(15 hours later...)
Lunch hour today...
As I browsed thru the magazine at the little shop infront of Giant Sg Wang, I noticed this bumper issue of Empire with Colin Farrell on the cover (in his almost gay Alexander mode), going for more than half the normal price. OMG!!!!! I have been eyeing this mag since the last two months, and now it's in the bargain bin. I really, really wanted this issue, as it comes free with a 108-page booklet on movie trivias.
Alamak, should I buy it before somebody else grab it? What about my pokai-ness?
Without any hesitation, I grabbed the mag, paid RM10 to the Indian guy over the counter, and head back to my office. Huahahhahaahah!!!!!! No money, no problem? I guess I'll think about THAT later. For now, I will savour the fruit of my labour, ;-)

The Best Cartoon Ever !
"I'm not interested in creating a book that is read once and then placed on the shelf and forgotten. I am very happy when people have worn out my books, or that they're held together by Scotch tape."
Richard McClure Scarry (1919-1994)
Aku rasa kalau Richard Scarry ni hidup lagi, dia mesti bangga gila dengan Ikmal. Hancur punah buku dia dikerjakan si kecik tu. He really enjoys it.
Last month, I bought 6 VCDs from the Richard Scarry cartoon series for Ikmal. Kebetulan Video Ezy Sg Wang ada bagi special offer. 3 VCDs for the price of RM10. Wow, I thought, why not. Ikmal pun dah outgrown his Hot Wheels Highway 35 movie and also Tiff Nedell’s The Fast and Furious. He’s looking for something else now. So, aku pun belilah 9 CDs. I wondered why takde orang bother pun nak beli VCD tu…
At home, bila aku test the CD’s, wow, this is really something! Wayyyyy better than the usual Barney or Power Ranger stuffs I saw some parents bought for their kids. Maybe quite offensive sikit for us Muslim parents memandangkan some of the main characters are of the haram genre (pigs (Pig Will, Pig Won’t, Mr Frumble), wild boars (Mr Gronkle) and dogs) My favourite of the lot – The Best Counting Video Ever (this one okay skit coz the main character is Lily the Rabbit). Believe it or not, Ikmal, walaupun belum pandai bercakap, can count 1 to 20 with me (in English la). I mean, takde lah fluent, but he remembers it.
Other than this one, CD-CD lain dalam siri The Busy World of Richard Scarry really caught my heart because it had something that most kid shows and most new shows in general lack: MATURITY. The stories were simple (good manners, going to the doctor, your usual everyday stuff), but the characters are so interesting that it really made up for it. The show was also sweet and child-like (NOT childish, which is a totally different thing). The antagonists were always just mean or rebellious, not full blown evil. They were able to be innocent without being unrealistically perfect. The show was also great because it had SO many characters, not just a handful like most cartoons. The characters more than obviously had their faults, but this way you could really relate to them. They felt REAL.
I wished I have bought more of them…
PS : Thank you, imdb.com for the info.

Happy Birthday Dik Yah !
Today is Dik Yah’s birthday. She’s one year old, and by now she’s already a walking, babbling, screaming machine! Quite fast compared to Ikmal, who only started walking close to 2 years old.
She ain't heavy, she's mah cousin !
Sayang gave her a pink dress as a birthday present, while meself got her a bath towel with girly cartoon motives. Umi made some mouth-watering mee curry (which we haven’t had for quite some time), yum!

Siti Tidak Lagi Di Alam Fantasi
I have never been a fan of Siti Nurhaliza, but this lady ROCKS! Never mind all the skeptics, (that’s you and your gang, Kak Pah !), CT has certainly proved herself at the Royal Albert Hall, London, the very same spot that witnessed our Arwah Sudirman performed in the Jalur Gemilang garb.
(Anak dagang di rantau orang, pandai-pandai membawa diri...)
Well done, CT. From the sleepy town of Kuala Lipis to Royal Albert Hall, you’ve gone far beyond the Jerat Percintaan days. We are so proud of you. Being the media (and our darling), we hope to see more of you. You go girl!
Zack's two cents worth :-
Fave Siti Song(s) : Cindai / Hati Kama
THE PERFECT GUY for Siti : Fazley Yaacob
Should she act ? : No. Have u seen the Debaran Cinta video? She sucks.
Long hair or short hair? : Long hair
Traditional or modern ? : She sounds better in traditional songs and looks prettier in traditional garbs.

Blame It On Kiyosaki
One fine day at the office, when one of my old friend Azwar sent us Ex-Asabinas this e-mail…
Assalamualaikum to all,
You know that kids are very pure and for them, nothing is impossible unless we, the adults condition them to such situation. That is why a childhood dreams seems to be the most exciting one.
Syifa is now a grown up 4 years old girl with lotsa question in her head. So, as for now when she ask me that kind of question, I always give her a hope that she can achieve that.
If she say, Papa I want to buy that car, live in that big house- what shall I answer? No, I don't have that money (or impliedly saying I am not able to buy that). Is it a good answer? She just answer it back- Why? Why not you have that money? You're not workin hard enough? Are you lazy? Look! you are my Papa, my superhero, why can't you do that things seem very possible to me!!
I'm not sure what is on your situation, it is open for discussion. One sure thing is we have to answer to them. I don't know about the bachelors out there...
If your kids really believe in you, why can't you believe in yourself. Believe in their dreams, believe in your dreams!
Have you really look and search for the opportunity up there...in a distance..in front of you.. are you really hungry for that?
Well..today is 13 April, in about two months from now I am going to be 30 man..It really scared me if I compare my achievement with Beckham, we're the same age.
I'm changin' my life right now - already quit Sunway two months ago, now I'm on the street learning something new. I expect different results. I don't believe in getting lucky, I believe in making myself get lucky. I'm doing sales right now, with Marcus Evans KL. I suppose that what I should do to be the next APPRENTICE!! Don't be supprise seeing me on the street selling ice cream. I also involve in real estate, selling and renting out houses.
I felt like I can do anything right now. Nothing can stop me now. So Syifa...I'll make our dream come true. I'm burning right now...
So folks keep on dreaming, keep on believin'. Remember, don't expect different result with the same approach, it ain't not going to happen!
Lotsaluv,
Watt
p/s: Nashua & Adam, will ask that question too. So, be prepared Faiz.
This is the excerpt of my reply:-
Assalamualaikum all,
“fyi, I've tried my hands in sales when I quit my job kat AAC and Maersk dulu. (Okay la, it's direct selling, but that's considered sales jugak kan?) To be honest, sometimes, I feel really down when faced with rejections, but being in sales really boosted my self- esteem and self confidence. Above all,I've learned to stand up for myself. Dealing with real people is really different from what I usually do (dealing with reports, numbers, etc).
Ikmal is only 2 1/2. Cakap pun belum berapa reti lagi. But like u, I will always make sure that I equip him with the necessary resources in the forms of knowledge (formal/informal) and money, as well as financial literacy. I believe in Kiyosaki's ideas in "If U Wanna Be Rich, Don't Go To School" (even though my hubby strongly disagrees). To have a steady stream of income flowing in effortlessly is not impossible. U just have to know how and don't forget to put in some extras of everything (time, money, sweat and tears).
My personal dream is - to be financially indepedent, hidup senang (not mewah) and at the same time kumpul saham akhirat. As for my son, I want him to know that his parents are working very hard to provide him with everything, and money doesn't grow on trees. If he wants a big car or a big house, I will just say, "Ikmal, you can have all these when you grow up. Mama will not be able to buy them for you, but Mama will show you how you can buy them yourself." And yes, I want to be Ikmal's personal inspiration. His Wonder Woman.”

Kill Din, Vol. 1
I rarely eat rice for lunch. The typical lunch for me would normally consist of bread with tuna/ burger/ corn-in-a-cup or sushi. But since my tummy had been grumbling since 11.45 a.m today, I have decided to eat nasi campur for lunch. It would be more filling and gosh, how I missed the delicious home-cook meals at our café at Level 4 of the building.
(Not the actual place, to protect the privacy)
So I went down at exactly 1.00 pm, and queued with the rest of the hungry people. Yes, the food here is really good; we have the Malays, Chinese and Indians eating here, even those from nearby offices. And reasonably priced too; usually the typical lunch of rice + a piece of fish/chicken/meat + veggie would cost you around RM3.50 – RM5.00.Yummy, I took some rice, ikan cencaru sumbat, some Japanese tofu cooked with oyster sauce and a small piece of squid, and queued up to pay for it. But I haven’t prepared myself for what came next…
Me : Berapa bang?
BSMFI : Enam ringgit
Me : (A bit surprised, but I maintained my cool) Enam ringgit?
BSMFI : Hah,yelah, nasi 50 sen, tahu dua ringgit, ikan dua ringgit setengah, sotong seringgit. Jadi enam ringgit lah.
Me : Sotong ni seringgit bang ? (Macam tak percaya)
BSMFI : Yelah, habis tu awak ingat saya overcharge ke? Saya takde nak caj lebih-lebih ni. (At this point his volume dah kuat sikit. There were people queuing up as well, and I’m already pucat). Kalau ambik lauk banyak kena bayar banyak lah, takkan ambik lauk banyak nak bayar sikit, saya bukanyya nak ambik untung banyak,..bla bla bla.. bla..
(by this time, aku dah berlalu selepas membayar RM6 dengan tangan yang terketar-ketar. Ya Allah, apa kena mamat ni? PMS ke? Aku kacau boyfriend dia ke?)
I walked out as quickly as I could from the café. Aku tak pandang orang sekeliling pun, I just want to get to my office (at level 12) and forget the whole thing. Mata aku dah bergenang dah (Marah? Tension? Malu?), dalam hati aku menyumpah-nyumpah mamat ni. What the hell was that all about?
Sampai kat pantry office, aku bukak nasi yang aku beli tadi. I stared at my lunch and thought, “I got publicly humiliated for this?” Aku kuis-kuis ikan tu, should I eat this thing? My appetite dah lama terbang, terbang bersama-sama semangat aku untuk hari ini. Celaka punya orang. For the next 3-4 hours, I can’t concentrate on my work. I feel like this little cheapskate shit that couldn’t even afford to pay for her lunch. Damn that fella, I hope he roasts in hell!
btw, BSMFI stands for bloody-shit-motherf*****g-idiot. Aku malas nak pakai nama sebenar, to protect the privacy of that prick.
