What wouldn't people do for a few seconds of fame.

First, I thought this was nice.



That is until I saw this.



Ingatkan student Malaysia je yang takde kerja.

Renung-renungkan

I just got back from Lenggeng for a 3 days team building course. I was never a fan of Fadzilah Kamsah, but after attending his speech, I thought he was alright. Be as it may that we are short of local stand up comedians, I say I'd settle for a witty and funny motivational speaker.

There are two important things that I've learned there.

1. God does not create anything without a purpose. In a way, without you the world is incomplete.

2. This poem (which was probably plucked from the Internet anyways)

It's madness
To hate all roses because you got scratched with one thorn,
To give up on your dreams because one did not come true,
To lose faith in prayers because one was not answered,
To give up on your efforts because one of them failed,
To condemn all your friends because one betrayed you,
Not to believe in love because someone did not love you back,
To throw away your chances to be happy because you did not succeed on your first attempt.

***

I work hard every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own -
I get down on my knees
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord - somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me - somebody to love?

Somebody to love- Queen

When the heart no longer beats, it is not worth to seek

A friend of mine posted this in her blog not too long ago.

Love is full of ironies indeed. But those listed above are only one of those ironies.

To me, the greatest irony of love is to love someone, but only to find that the person loves someone else, or, that the person is looking for someone else to love. But either way, no matter how much you deny it or refuse to admit it, you do succumb to the fact that maybe, what if, that there is a probability that there is someone out there who can make the person happier than you ever could. And if you really love the person, you would be happy if the person do find that someone else because all you ever wanted for that person is for the person to be happy. Even if it means, that the happiness does not include you in the equation.

Randy Newman once sang;

Show me a man, who's gentle and kind,
And I'll show you a loser,
Now show me a man, who takes what he wants...
This is it. I'm looking for a towel, so that I can throw it in.

Kapan akan berambus bomoh tua itu dari hidupku?

Kehadapan adik-adikku yang masih belum melangkah ke alam pekerjaan,

Ketahuilah adik-adik bahawa di mana jua tempat kerja adik-adik nanti akan ada seorang bomoh tua yang akan menggangu ketenteraman hidup adik-adik dan tempat kerja adik-adik.

Ketahuilah bahawa bomoh tua ini sangat bijak dalam ilmu tipu muslihat memperdaya terutamanya orang-orang besar bagi menyusahkan lagi hidup adik-adik.

Percayalah kata-kataku ini adik-adikku.

Walau di mana pun kau bekerja, akan tetap ada seorang bomoh tua.

Kepada yang sudah bekerjaya, sudahkah anda kenal pasti bomoh tua di tempat kerja anda?

There's always two sides of a coin

What is an accountant?

ac.count.ant

–noun
a person whose profession is inspecting and auditing accounts.

So what is an account?

ac.count

noun

1. an oral or written description of particular events or situations; narrative: an account of the meetings; an account of the trip.

2. an explanatory statement of conduct, as to a superior.

3. a statement of reasons, causes, etc., explaining some event.

4. reason; basis: On this account I'm refusing your offer.

5. importance; worth; value; consequence: things of no account.

6. estimation; judgment: In his account it was an excellent piece of work.

7. an amount of money deposited with a bank, as in a checking or savings account: My account is now with Third National.

8. Also called charge account. an accommodation or service extended by a business to a customer or client permitting the charging of goods or services, the returning for credit of unsatisfactory merchandise, etc.: Do you have an account at this store? My account with the restaurant is past due.

9. a statement of financial transactions.

10. Bookkeeping.

a. a formal record of the debits and credits relating to the person, business, etc., named at the head of the ledger account.
b. a balance of a specified period's receipts and expenditures.

11. Commerce.
a. a business relation in which credit is used.
b. any customer or client, esp. one carried on a regular credit basis.
c. Also called advertising account. the business assigned to an advertising agency by a client: The toothpaste account was awarded to a new agency last year.

–verb (used without object)

12. to give an explanation (usually fol. by for): to account for the accident.

13. to answer concerning one's conduct, duties, etc. (usually fol. by for): to account for the missing typewriters.

14. to provide a report on money received, kept, and spent.

15. to cause (usually fol. by for): The humidity accounts for our discomfort. His reckless driving accounted for the accident.
–verb (used with object)

16. to regard; consider as: I account myself well paid.

17. to assign or impute (usually fol. by to): the many virtues accounted to him.

So you see, my main job, as an accountant is to inspect accounts. In other words, I need to inspect oral or written descriptions of a particular event, explanation of someone's conduct or explanation of an event.

Bookkeeping comes only in the tenth place.

So next time, before concluding that I like to gossip around, maybe you would want to have a better understanding of my profession first before making such judgment.

I am merely doing my job.

Let's go fly a kite

After a whole day's worth of working my bum off, it irks me whenever someone asks

"Baru balik kerja ke?"

Nak je jawab

"Taklah, baru lepas main layang-layang"

***

Pukul 7.30, di meja pejabat, sambil membancuh teh,

Aku: ...Bukan sekali kau suarakan kebimbangan, pada cintaku kau tak mampu, bersendirian tanpaku. Itu semua lembut lidah manis madah, penuh helah yang pastinya...
F: Boss ni sejak dua menjak ni asyik menyanyi je kalau balik lambat. Mesti selalu prektis ni.
Aku: Dalam kereta je la. Yela, balik pun sorang, bukannya boleh nak bersembang. Kalau cakap sorang-sorang nanti orang ingat gila pulak. Melalak je la.

Sambung mengacau teh.

That was when it hit me.

Gila sedihnya hidup aku takde orang untuk bercerita setelah seharian penat bekerja.


Laju Laju … buaiku laju…
Pohon beringin tegaknya tinggi
kalau rendah menyapu bumi
penghibur aku menolong aku
bertiuplah oh angin bayu

Laju Laju… buaiku laju..
pohon beringin daunnya rendang
akar berjalur cecah ke bumi
hatiku ingin hidup gemilang
nasib malang suratan diri


Laju laju buaiku laju

Buaiku laju - Bawang Putih Bawang Merah
