Reminisce...

Feels like reminiscing the old moments before UPSR, where one anime, that caught my eye, one of my favourite anime of all time. SLAM DUNK. Never mind tuition class, it starts at 7.00 pm and ends at 8.00 pm everyday on weekdays, although my tuition starts at 8.00 pm...haha

Now, thanks to the annoying speed of internet of INTI but still manageable to download all series of it.
Trials ended, but the final hurdle is the biggest that I'll be facing so far in my life. Knowing that more hardships are yet to come, maybe I should relax for a moment before rushing for the final bout.

Still haven't finish the series though...(  _ _")

A Beautiful Story From Quran (Shared)

A special thanks to my friend Azweed Alam Malik, who's kind-hearted to share this piece of story for me and my friends to read about...
may Allah bless him...

Why do we read Quran, even if we can't understand a single Arabic word???? This is a beautiful story.

An old American Muslim lived on a farm in the mountains of eastern Kentucky with his young grandson. Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading his Quran.  His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate him in every way he could.

One day the grandson asked, 'Grandpa! I try to read the Quran just like you but I don't understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the Qur'an do?'

The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, 'Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.'

The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, 'You'll have to move a little faster next time,' and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home. Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket instead.

The old man said, 'I don't want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water You're just not trying hard enough,' and he went out the door to watch the boy try again.

At this point, the boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would leak out before he got back to the house. The boy again dipped the basket into river and ran hard, but when   he reached his grandfather the basket was again empty. Out of breath, he said, 'See Grandpa, it's useless!'

'So you think it is useless?' The old man said, 'Look at the basket.'
The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean, inside and out.

'Son, that's what happens when you read the Qur'an. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you will be changed, inside and out.  That is the work of Allah in our lives.'

Jack of All Trade and A Master of One Part 1

Every time when I hear this topic, an old moment of me, one of my Kusess friend, Mahhe debates about this issue during the 2008 Piala Perdana Menteri English Debate came in a flash. It was the first time Kusess made to the finals against RMC (Maktab Tentera Diraja) and eventual champions on that day too, phenomenal. GO KUSESS, haha.

I'm myself not good at elaborating my points though, unlike my friend Chai Boon here in INTI. LOL

Based on the definition itself shows the jack of all trade is like he owns many skills, but unfortunately a master to none of them. On the other hand, master of one is in command of one skill only. A debate arise from here, which is better? Lets make this a discussion.

Well, to start off, jack of all trade can be take into an example, let say a sportsman, who really knows how to play a lot of games like football, basketball, rugby, and etc. However, he's a master of none of those sports.

I'll say, I too, salute this kind of person, able to know many kinds of sport. Maybe he could be not just a fringe player in those games and get to feature in many kinds of sports and won many certificates and trophies. On the dark side of it, imagine does he will be able to have time for everything?
It is considered to be quite tiresome when you get involved in too much.

Maybe the example given might not be enough, how about this, imagine a worker in the economy is entitled to many tasks. Will he be able to do them all?
Let start small, a sole trader perhaps, entitled to many tasks to ensure his firm to be sound. Will he be able to work it off alone? Of course he need some workers to help him, no human in this world is unable to feel tired.

So now, it goes to the number of workers he employs. Is it enough, to make his life easier? Maybe a small shop is unable to provide a significance.

Lets move to bigger entity, a company have been set up and currently try to employ workers. Not that I know how many sectors in the company itself that needs to be taken care of, but let say there's 4 sectors of administration, sales, creative team, and finance. But, only two workers were employed, thus 2 sectors are to be entitled to one person.
There's always a possibility of them unable to do both tasks at the same time. May result into them feel stressed out too you know.

Therefore, this promotes inefficiency in the economy and the company will be hard to achieve economies of scale, which helps reduce the company's production costs. If every company in the country is doing the same thing, this could slows the Gross Domestic Product(GDP) increase.

Some would say workers with many skills is good to be employed and more preferable thus makes a benefit again to the jack of all trade person. So this may also means that less skilled are to be left aside, making the unemployment rate increase.

To be continued...

For the open mind...

Do not be proud of what we wear, 
as our final clothing is the shroud;


Do not be proud of what we drive, 
as our final vehicle is the coffin;


Do not be proud of where we live in, 
as our final rest place is the grave;


Do not be proud of how beautiful or handsome we are, 
as at the end, we are to be consumed by the earthworms.

Always remember that everything that live today will surely die one day,
Be grateful with what you earn, always strive to be better, 
but not to be too proud of what we achieved.

Australian Bulletin FM - Episode 13 [Aussie man Jay Sloot has tongue record licked]

Another Guinness record I would like to share, an astonishing one as I call it, this time 'the widest'. Now now, without specific definition, I'm sure it is  going to be guessed by readers as the most fat person, instead it is the widest tongue ever owned by a man named Jay Sloot, 25. Labeled by his colleagues as 'tongue boy' the West Australian's tongue was measured 7.9, not in mm but cm, amazing. Moreover, he's able to lift entire 375ml cans of soft drink.

Well, I would say he may be able to swallow a big chunk of food with that tongue and maybe I'm honored if I too owned that length of tongue. haha. As saying goes, a man can dream. I wonder what more human wonders shall be discovered in the next few years.

Australian Bulletin FM - Episode 12 [Coleen Rooney willing to take cheating husband back]

Well, another episode of footballer's life saw Wayne Rooney this time to cheat his own wife, luckily Coleen Rooney is still willing to take him back after his disgraceful act. It was reported that Rooney spend $2000-a-night for 21 year old prostitute Jenny Thompson. Another prostitute he slept with was Helen Wood, 24.

At first, she really can't cooperate with the fact that Rooney said he loves her so much, then he paid a hooker for sex. She instantly told Wayne that there's no going back and she would never forgive him. Coleen, comes from a strong catholic family, believes in the fidelity can still keep a marriage stronger. She admitted although she was still angry, she said that at the end of the day, she still loves him and believe he is the right man to be with. Nevertheless, she mentions about taking Rooney back on trial and restrain him under 'house arrest' and put both their sex life on hold.

She also mentions about their son, Kai, missing his father and also knows how much Wayne misses him too and states that Kai will be one of the crux in deciding their future. This incident also noticed by Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United manager and decided to not play him for the Everton vs Manchester United game that saw both teams end in a stalemate of 3 all draw.

In my point of view, this a view of when guys can only marry one women rule in the west. In other words, they restricts polygamy. So now cases like these happens. Recently before, Ashley Cole divorced his wife Cheryl Cole. Ashley was caught cheating twice already, no wonder Cheryl was unwilling to tolerate no longer.
So, the rule implemented was to give women their so called rights. But, at the end of the day, who suffers?
Imagine if the woman was divorced during pregnancy. Think about it. Moreover, as Ashley Cole and Wayne Rooney sets a 'great' example for the kids around the world, the message is to be grateful with what you have and spend it wisely. Do not engage in such a disgraceful act like them. You can have your entertainment, but have it in a good way. In conclusion, do not cheat your wife. hahaha
