They who?

They who?

1. Generally, country-folks suffered diseases such as diabetes, high cholestrol, BP and etc. We have no one to blame but ourselves: food and routines.

2. But then, patients rarely go and seek advises from doctors. Even if patients did, the prescribed subsidized-medicines will be thrown away. Instead, patients consume so called 'herba semula jadi', rukhni-sunnah and what not. Patients are so proud of these. When we ask why those herbs, it's because 'they' said it is good for you and can cure the diseases at 100% rate! 'They' also claimed that medicines from hospital can cause 1001 other problems to your body. What happen to the hadith that said health problems are mainly from the food that we consume?

2. When dietitians and doctors play the sunnah card, advising patients to eat moderately and exercises more, because thats the routines of Rasulullah, patients being ignorance and disregard all the advices. Patients become so pasrah, because 'they' said the diseases are qada-qadar. What happen to 'wajib' to listen to the authority as long as it is not against syara'?

3. This 'they' had created so much trouble in the society. It is 'they' who asked people to spend so much lavishly on the weddings, unnecessary majlis tahlil, akikah and even put hiasan on the graveyards. This 'they' somehow become so powerful than ustazs and doctors (sapa xcaya bukak balik kitab, aku SPM A1 kot agama Islam).

4. I think, we need to educate ourselves by reading more books on general health and knowledge. The books that combine Sciences and religions are the best because that is the absolute truth. Next time, when we act and being asked for the reasons, we can say 'Please refer to this book, reference number and publications'...

Short-cut or Short-circuit

Short-cut or Short-circuit
1. Everybody loves short-cut. When we were students, instead of studying holistically through out the years, we opted for the 'soalan spot' and relied too much on them. Natijahnya, berapa ramai yg menangis tak berlagu on the result's day.

2. We never learn, do we? Later, in the real world, we take so called 'magic bullets' for everything: nak kurus, nak putih, darah tinggi, cholestrol tinggi, kencing manis, etc. All these while, we ate like it is the end of the world, sleep-not exercising like a cripple. Then, all of sudden, we demand the quick results. Sekali lagi, mangsanya adalah buah pinggang, hati, our own organs.

3. Not only that, we join all those so called 'ponzi schemes' and do so many part time jobs, because we want to get rich fast-easily. The reason is, xnak kerja penat sampai tua. The reality is we forget and become careless on the real-main jobs. The definition of wealth becomes so high-standard, and we start forgetting the meaning of health, knowledge, family. Get achievements by lowering your standards maybe?

4. Then, we make it worst by demanding a good country and nation, yet we flout all those laws: not paying PTPTN, ignoring seatbelt, double park, signal-mana? and etc.

It is time to change, before it is too late! 

Eid Adha 2018

Eid Adha celebrations:

1. In the spirit of 'Losers stay together', those who were not going back home, celebrated together with tonnes of calories.

2. Later, to kill the time, my wife and I counted the coins that we collected since Aisyah was still in tummy. It took us almost 2 hours.

The fun was successfully created!

Pops out

1. Exactly last year, my dad was with me. He barely could walk so I had to push him with the wheel-chair. We were going to watch/witness the slaughtering ceremony for Eid-Adha, nearby the surau. Aisyah was with us.

2. Aisyah asked why there were so many cows, why the cows peed and pooped, and why they were slaughtered. I tried to answer her questions, could not remember what were the details.

3. Abah was watching everything, cluelessly. Later, at home, Aisyah told my wife her experiences in a story plot. The cows were gathered, they peed publicly and then they were slaughtered. I laughed.

4. And today, abah is bed-ridden, Aisyah grows and talks cleverly. I grow older and the story is yet to repeat itself. May Allah make/plot the story in a better version.

Happy Eid-Adha all!

Sayang printer, baiki baiki kan

What would I do without you?

1. Saturday morning, we figured our printer was not working. The lights were blinking, all of them. So I thought maybe the toners were out and they need replacements. After all, it had been a while already.

2. Even with the new toners, the lights were still blinking. Sunday noon, I was still trying to figure out how to trouble-shoot the printer. Eventually, I opened it up and found a piece of small paper stucked inside. It was not teared from the normal size paper, but rather a perfect but small size paper. Who put it?

3. I took it out and tried to troubleshoot it again, but the lights were still blinking. After Isyak's prayer, I was using a torchlight to figure out what went wrong. I almost gave up, then I found a rubber-band, hair rubber band, stucked in between the gears and rollers. With great difficulties, I removed it out. Then she came and said,
'I am sorry, I climbed the chair and tried to use that printer. Then it broke...'

Pftt...Aisyah, I could have spent the time to iron my shirts or enjoy my weekends by watching movies, but instead I spent the time for this puzzle.

"Biarla, budak nak besar", said my wife.
