Harga Minyak makin Naik.

In the news...

It is heavily speculated that by the end of this year oil price will hit the mark One Hundred Dollars (USD100) per barrel! By looking at the present situation the speculation will turn to reality as the price is lingering around Ninety Five Dollars (USD95) per barrel.

This will certainly cause hardship around the world especially to people and companies that rely heavily on oil & gas especially to utilities companies. Undoubtedly and eventually this will hurt the people too as they will have to suffer not only to pay more for petrol but also price hike of other goods.

So apa nak jadi?
Pak Lah diam lagi
Bingung pasal subsidi
Boleh ke nak dibagi lagi ?

Son In Law dah bersuara
Rombakkan sistem subsidi yang sedia ada
Supaya kerajaan berlaku adil katanya
Jangan bagi kepada mereka yang berupaya

So macam mana wahai Son In Law ?
Nak tahu yang mana berisi dan yang mana zero.

Jadi seruku
padamu
wahai saudaraku

Keluarlah ke alam realiti
di zaman kini

yang susah
tak semestinya susah
dan yang senang
tak semestinya senang.

Lagi-lagi
di negara ini
yakni

yang papa lagi bergaya
dan yang kaya bijak berkata-kata

So cadangan saya senang saja
Apa kata Son In Law mulakannya

Jangan bayar harga subsidi
Bayarlah untuk rakyat sekali

Kerana anda seorang pemimpin
Serukanlah juga kepada yang lain-lain

Terutama yang peroleh juta-juta
Hasil dari 'khidmat kepada rakyat'
Ingatlah wahai para ketua
Nanti takut rezeki tak berkat.

Gemilang Terbilang Cemerlang
Janganlah suka Temberang!!

In a related news, a few US Congressmen have recently approached the President of the United States on the present turmoil of oil price increase fearing that it will have a global impact and would lead to a disaster.

Mr. Bush asked them 'what seems to be the problem, surely there's a way to lower the price?'

They replied, "Mr. President, sir, there are various factors that affect the gas price... we can't wait, we've got to do something before it hits USD100 per barrel!'

The President looked confused. Very confused. He then asked, 'How much did you say?'

The Congressmen replied 'USD100 per barrel, sir!"

Mr. Bush then smiled and was so relieved and said:

'Ooohhh it's easy and worry no more.
Go and ask them ... these gas producers,
how much would it cost ... without the barrel.'

Welcome to the world of anonymity.

As from today I have decided that I shall carry on writing this bloG under anonymity. I feel somewhat safe and secure to be anonymous right now. Not that I am afraid of revealing my true identity .. it's just that I want to feel free to express myself. More importantly I would be most comfortable to share my experience with the World. .. without fear or favour. .. without suspicion or motive.

As for those of you out there who already know me.. it's okay. You are never a threat my friend, but I do regard you all as my brothers in arms; whom I hold close to my heart and always in my prayers. I hope you get what I mean.

Kata saya... kalau kita tahu seseorang itu sedang sakit dari segi kesihatan senang sekali untuk kita berjumpa atau menziarahi mereka. Boleh bawa buah tangan atau bunga dan sebagainya. Boleh berborak pasal jumpa doktor mana, hospital mana... dah cuba ke ubat tradisional itu dan ini dan macam-macam lagi.

Tapi bagi orang-orang yang sedang 'sakit' dari segi kewangan atau dalam kata lain yang baru sahaja tergolek; bak pepatah 'sudah jatuh ditimpa tangga', orang-orang ini bukan senang untuk didekati. Nak tanya khabar pun susah jugak. Apa yang nak ditanya atau apa yang nak dibualkan amatlah sukar bagi mereka yang mengenali orang-orang ini. Tapi yang paling susah sekali kalau sesekali berjenaka mungkin ianya memberi tanggapan yang salah kepada yang lain. Happy je takde pun susah..nampak riang gembira je.

Oleh itu untuk tidak menyusahkan orang lain, BUAT SEMENTARA WAKTU INI saya telah memilih untuk menjalankan kehidupan ini secara amat 'low-profile'. Bukanlah lari dari orang tapi sebenarnya ingin mengambil masa untuk memperbaiki diri ini disamping mendampingi isteri tercinta dan keluarga tersayang demi membalas pengorbanan mereka yang selama ini teguh berdiri menyokong dan menyayangi diri ini tanpa berbelah bahagi semasa diri ini jauh 'berlayar'.

Kalau ikut standard biasa sebenarnya atau sepatutnya dah lama dah kena 'humban' kerana membuat kesalahan-kesalahan yang bodoh dan bangang semata-mata kerana percaya dengan orang. Mungkin di lain masa perkara ini akan saya kupas; iaitu kenapa bodoh dan bangang sangat mempertaruhkan maruah, integriti dan masa depan diri sendiri dan keluarga kerana percaya sangat dengan kata-kata orang.

Ok buat masa ini saya akan terus menulis di sini untuk meluahkan rasa dan perasaan. Bukanlah nak complain tapi buat pengajaran kepada diri sendiri, anak-anak, cucu cicit dan mungkin juga rakan-rakan yang lain.

ALHAMDULILLAH sekarang saya masih lagi mempunyai kerja untuk mengisi kelapangan dan menampung hal ehwal semasa. Masih juga menjalankan tugas sebagai seorang profesional tapi tidaklah seperti dulu. Adalah sikit-sikit.

Itulah kuasa ALLAH yang maha Esa. DIA lah yang memberi kehidupan dan di atas kehendak DIA juga kita boleh mati..pada bila-bila masa. Saya berdiri teguh dengan keyakinan saya kepada agama dan Tuhan saya. Dengan izinNya saya kembali meniti kehidupan ini sedikit demi sedikit hari demi hari.Tapi masih lagi seperti kata saya dalam posting saya sebelum ini iaitu .. ON DAY TO DAY BASIS.

Okay, I'll try to be creative and explorative on all issues. But most of all I will try to relate more of myself here, what has hapenned, what I'm doing, where I am, who I'm with etc. etc.

Until next time.

Day to Day basis

Life is an adventure. Lots of ups & downs. Why is it like that, God only knows.

I'd like to equate myself as an airplane. Many times it hits turbulances & there are several of them such as severe, heavy & light. But for most severe cases no matter how bad or how hard it is, the plane would stabilise eventually. Most of them do. What more nowadays with all the state of the art technology installed in all new planes, they have actually been designed to withstand the worst case scenario ever. Imagine that. Still according to some aviation experts the most dangerous time during air flight is during take off and landing.

There were a couple of cases where planes crashed during landing recently the one in Jakarta and if i am not mistaken in South America where the jet overshot the runway. As for the one in Jakarta it turned out that the plane was coming down too fast and hit hard on the ground.

Now coming back to what i was saying above, to me we are like an airplane too. We have to expect turbulences in our lives; be it severe medium or light. And as to whether we can withstand these turbulences i think it would depend on our experiences and knowledge. Also our faith in God.

To me i have come to a realisation that the more turbulences we experience in life the more experience and knowledge we will gain. It is to our benefit actually. If so we have to crash during any of these turbulences; to me it is the will of God that we have to accept. Remember sometimes when a plane crashes there are still survivors found alive and well!

So when we are experiencing turbulences normally in a plane the pilot will light the seat belt sign ON and the flight attendant will switch the cabin lights OFF; if it gets worse, oxygen masks will fall out & at the end we will be asked to bend our body to our knees and brace ourselves to expect the worst.

So comparing that to real life I suppose what we should do when we are experiencing 'turbulence' is perhaps to switch OFF all our future ambitions or projections for the time being and wait until we pass by it. We should go very slow in whatever we do at time like this. In other words we should carry ourselves on Day to Day Basis.

I am experiencing severe turbulence in my life right now. So severe that anytime it may crash! But until i do I am going to do all the necessary within my power to come out of this turbulence. I am not ready to land yet and I believe my destination is a long way to reach. So for those who know me would surely realise that i have been missing in action for a while. I am still around and keeping hard to stay afloat. At the moment my 'seat belt' sign's light is ON and all other 'cabin lights' are OFF. Maybe in a week or so my 'oxygen mask' will come down and I may have to brace myself. At the moment no sign that the 'turbulence' will slow down so I am still hoping for the best. Insya Allah! So for those who do know me personally I sincerely apologise for being missing in action. God willing we shall meet again in the near future.

Anyway I think it is not too late to wish everyone SELAMAT HARI RAYA 'AIDILFITRI. MAAF ZAHIR BATIN. May all the blessings be with everybody.
