When all boils down to..

Sometimes no matter how hard you try, it all boils down to one thing

'Talent'

Yeappidy yeap..

I see a lot of people who really achieve a lot out there and they really seem to be able to do so many things which are just beyond my own imagination. They always say ' think outside the box', but no matter how hard I try, it just seems to me that each time I try to think outside the box, the box gets a whole lot bigger and u just can't go beyond it!

So, I decided to draw an early conclusion that no matter how hard you try, there must be a percentage of talent there in order for you to really make it big out there.. Tremendous creativity and imagination are talents which are so KEWL, but at the same time, I do not have much of that, and the only thing I probably have would be dramaticness and evil laughter much.. Anywhere would use that?? Yea.. Cartoons maybe..

Now, I am looking out to those who are really great and am searching for my inspiration. With that very small percentage of talent I have inside this small bottle me, I will try to make it great and hopefully this tiny little talent will grow to become a big banging talent.

WHoosh... OO yea...

‘Sebab nila setitik, rosak susu sebelanga’

Salam sejahtera saya ucapkan kepada Dekan Fakulti Sastera dan Sosial Sains, Ketua Jabatan, pensyarah-pensyarah Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman, para hakim yang adil lagi bijaksana dan rakan-rakan yang saya hormati. Pada petang ini, tajuk pidato saya ialah ‘Rasuah dalam kalangan Kakitangan Awam’.

Para hadirin,

Sebelum saya mendalami topik ini, izinkan saya menjelaskan beberapa istilah perkataan yang penting. Yang pertama, rasuah. Rasuah, dalam Kamus Dewan Edisi Baru, didefinisikan sebagai permberian yang menumbuk rusuk. Yang kedua ialah kakitangan awam yang boleh kita fahamkan sebagai pekerja yang bekerja dalam jabatan-jabatan kerajaan dan berkhidmat untuk orang awam. Dewasa ini, gejala rasuah bagaikan penyakit barah yang kian menular dan membimbangkan pelbagai pihak. Dari semasa ke semasa, kita mendengar tentang kes-kes makan suap yang melibatkan kakitangan-kakitangan awam di Malaysia. Berita-berita tersebut sering menimbulkan rasa sedih, kecewa dan marah dalam sanubari pendengar dan pembaca. Mengapakah mereka makan suap? Apakah faktor-faktor dominannya?

Salah satu faktor dominan ialah kehilangan nilai diri dan pegangan agama yang kuat. Akibat dorongan nafsu serakah yang inginkan kekayaan dan kemewahan, individu-individu ini tidak dapat mengawal diri menerima wang sogokan yang kelihatan begitu lumayan. Faktor ini didorong lagi dengan kelemahan dari segi kepimpinan dan organisasi sesebuah jabatan yang membawa kepada kelemahan dari segi penyeliaan kakitangan-kakitangannya. Kelemahan ini umpama mewujudkan celah pada dinding untuk ular yang bisa. Kelemahan ini memberi ruang dan peluang untuk individu-individu menjangkiti penyakit sosial ini.

Para Hadirin,

Setahu saya, setiap perbuatan ada kesannya yang tersendiri, dan rasuah membawa padah kepada seseorang individu dan juga sesebuah negara. Negara diibaratkan sebagai organisma, kakitangan-kakitangannya umpama sel-sel badan. Apabila seseorang individu melibatkan diri dengan rasuah, mereka hanya dilihat sebagai orang yang membawa keburukan dan kemusnahan seperti sel-sel badan yang dijngkiti barah. Mereka kehilangan maruah diri dan juga rasa hormat orang ramai terhadap mereka. Individu-individu ini sudah tentunya bekerja dengan jabatan-jabatan tertentu yang saya samakan dengan organ-organ dalam sebuah organisma. Jikalau setiap sel dalam organ tersebut dijangkiti dengan penyakit, organ itu tidak akan berfungsi dan mekanisma seluruh organisma akan lumpuh. Dengan illustrasi ini, kita boleh lihat dengan jelas bahawa jika gejala rasuah terus berleluasa, pentadbiran seluruh negara akan lumpuh, ekonomi dan politik negara menjadi kacau-bilau, dan rakyat jelata akan sengsara. Adakah ini masa depan Malaysia yang kita nantikan?

Hadirin sekalian,

Saya pasti bahawa masa depan sebegini bukanlah yang diidam-idamkan. Oleh itu, kita mesti mencari strategi-strategi untuk mengatasi masalah ini. Badan-badan kerajaan seperti Badan Pencegah Rasuah perlu menggiatkan lagi peranan mereka dalam usaha membanteras gejala rasuah ini. Pelan Integriti Nasional yang diwujudkan pada 23 April 2004 oleh Yang Amat Berbahagia Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Datuk Seri Abdullah Haji Ahmad Badawi untuk membentuk sebuah masyarakat yang berintegriti harus dilaksanakan dan bukan kekal sebagai perkataan-perkataan cantik di atas kertas sahaja. Sungguhpun kerajaan mempunyai peranan mereka, namun semua warga juga mempunyai tanggungjawab dalam usaha menentang penyakit sosial ini. Selaku insan yang berintegriti, kita juga harus mempunyai nilai diri dan pegangan agama yang kuat, mengelakkan diri daripada memberi wang sogokan sebagai jalan pintas untuk mendapat sesuatu faedah. Jika kita tidak memberi, maka rasuah tidak akan berlaku.

Hadirin sekalian,

Bak kata pepatah ‘ hendak seribu daya, tidak hendak seribu dalih’. Selagi kita mempunyai niat untuk melakukan sesuatu, biarpun betapa mustahilnya, kita tetap berusaha untuk mencapainya. Maka, mari kita berganding bahu untuk menjadikan Malaysia sebuah negara yang berintegriti dan dipandang tinggi di persada antarabangsa.

Sekian terima kasih.

No Return

I hear the song
It's playing on the radio
I hear my heart beating faster
With the thought of you
It's dawning a brand new day
And you are still not here
Are you coming home
Are you coming home

Breakfast is laid on the table
With a cup of tea
You said ' no milk, no sugar, nothing
Keep it simple for me'
I did it as you wished
But you are still not here
Are you coming home?
Are you coming home?

You sent a letter with a single red rose
You said you'll make it back home safe and sound
I kept that promise in my heart for years
And you are still not here
Have you broken it?
That promise you made to me?


I hear the song
It's playing on the radio
I hear my heart beating faster
With the thought of you
It's dawning a brand new day
And you are still not here
Are you coming home?
Are you coming home?

Breakfast is laid on the table
With a cup of tea
You said ' no milk, no sugar, nothing
Keep it simple for me'
I did it as you wished
But you will never be here
You won't be coming home..
You will never come home..

The story behind this is about a wife who sent her husband out to war and before the husband left, he promised that he will return. But, years have passed, and the only thing the wife ever received was a letter with a rose. In the letter, her husband said that the war is ending, and he will soon be home. But unfortunately, he perished before the war ended. And thus, the breakfast laid on the table, the husband will never return, and the only thing the wife can do is listen to the song, that love song that she and her husband set as their song.

All inside my imagination... (^^) Nothing real to it....

A Reminiscence

This is what I came across while flipping through a book.

' We came to YES to become more Ho'o'ly ( Ho 'o' ly )
We named our group Christendom like Chrysanthemum ( mmm... )
And we gave ourselves a few funky names ( doom doom doom )

Guchi knock Benny
Gary Johnny Dexy
Geline Shrek Penguin
Genie Rachie Wei Li Yippie

Jesus, Son of God, He died and resurrected
Now we preach and sing, of how he cleansed our sins! '

This was the jingle we made in YES, and it had the names of everyone in our group. Hahaha... very funny now, after so long, and it brings back memories.

BUt everything has changed. It is all different now....
