Changes ~ i remember

Have you ever wondered sometimes how time changed us, either in a good way or the other way around, including how we look and how we perceive ourselves.

I remember a week ago , I was so bored at home especially that Illa and Zafri went back to KL, and so, I called up one my students currently working in my section for PKP (Program Khidmat Pelajar) for a late supper. He was very enthusiast about wanting to know more about me and what are my thought about the future and told me of his plans for the future.

He was thinking of finishing up his Diploma in Fisheries and straight indulge himself with animal husbandry instead. When I ask him the big WHY???

WHY:-
a) Animal husbandry and why not other fields and
b) Why not continue himself in Bachelor

Being the oldest in his family with his dad soon on pensioner, he need to care for his other siblings as well and make sure the his younger sibling would be cared for and able to continue their studies for the future.

Then it strikes me Wow!!! what a good and pure intention that this 19 year old man have, I remember at that age , the only thing crosses my mind is Me, me and me.

Then we continue our conversation

Az : En Allan, kalau saya tanye En. Allan jangan marah okay.

Me : Ok… errr Tanyelah????????

Az ; emm… En. Allan ni memang ke datang dari keluarga orang yang
berada ke .

Me : What??? Why do u ask that… selama ini u nampak I kaya ke.
Selama ini, u nampak I ni jenis loaded ke.

Az : Taklah, kita. maksud saya budak PKP hari tu berbincang and
agaklah En. Allan ni mesti datang dari keluarga yang kaya sebab
dari cara perwatakan encik dan cara encik bercakap.

Then it strikes me of the stories my sister told me as we were a kid, how hard life’s been to us. The nasi kosong with black catsup and oil mix with a sprinkle of salt, the salted fish with empty rice and being able to eat chicken only if there’s a birthday celebration or Christmas.

I remember my mum would buy us ham during our government primary exam because according to her we need to be feed well during the exams. She believes that, with the good food we will produce good result.

I remember every Saturday and Sunday, my mum would woke us up early morning to do gardening planting all sort of vegetables like spinach, alogbati ( a kind of vege), kangkong and onion.

I remember to work until the wee morning with my brother and sisters , tightening up the plastic ice cream to be sold at school tomorrow.

I remember going to our neighbor house to see their brand new TV because we couldn’t afford to buy one and sitting at the edge just to have a glimpse of their brand new tv.

I remember when I was in primary 3 and in the afternoon session , being alone at home while my mother’s at school working and running to my uncles house next door after frying the chicken wings and catch a big fire instead.

I remember sneaking with my brother and sister at my neighbor orchard to steal her rambutan and get caught and then she came to my house complaining to my mum with a whole bag of rambutan for us.

I remember accompanying my sister late at night to the toilet situated a few meters from the house. Holding the torch light and making noises everytime so that my sister wouldnt feel afraid.( toto you should know this hehehe)

I remember how my mothers would teach tuition everyday in the afternoon to kids all around the kampong with minimum payment ( I think its only around RM 10,00 per head) and sometimes free because some of them are too poor to pay.

Maybe things changed throughout the years but I am still the same boy as I was before. The bittersweet memories will always lingers in my mind but one things for sure I would never forget my roots.

Narrowing the gaps

Recently i guess everything seems to take its turn and wheather i make an efford of contacting my friends or the other way around but it seems that I seemed connected to alot of my friends this year and in particularly this month.

For one i have chatted online with Asnan Osmera Chung aka Tungau my ex roomate ,Petra Sulai my ex housemate and Zah from DKHP ( The girl with the big boozem hehehe ops sensor sensor) . I have also manage to get in touch with Ibrahim my ex cousemate who have been in silence for a long time and also Hubry Piasin who's now married and is recently a teacher in Keningau. Gosh its nice to talk to them again and catching up to old days and whats new in our lives. I saw Clement last 2 years in Tawau during the X'mass holiday and wow you've grown.

For those friends closest to my heart and myself at this moment fadzilah, Andy, Salya, Lenu, Sahari, Zafri, Syarifah and Saiful aka si Jelek i hope you guys stay connected. To all my other friends i hope you contact me soon, guys we need to reestablish our connection again and catch up for old times. Let bygone be bygone and lets start anew ( do we have grunches ke entah). Well what ever it is as the oldest in the family of friends in Prelim, Diploma and Bachelor i hope that we would instill our bridge again and catch up the years we've lost. If u read this leave a msg and i will contact u.

The purple wrist band

I guess by now you should know that i am an Oprah addict. I've always been amazed with the segments and topics that being discussed and portrayed. This morning is no exceptional, a topic about how people complain, and complain , and complain even more appears.

Have you sometimes wonder how some people likes to nag and complain from the littlest things to even the weather for example when you meet a person in the elevator, to break the ice you would say " Gosh the weather is hottttttt today" or " Gosh its pouring like hell out there". Have you ever wondered that the weather is not something that you should complain especially to people because it is something that only god can change? Instead why don’t you say “wow what a wonderful weather we have today" even when its so hot or pouring like hell.

Have you heard about the purple rubber wrist band? Its a wrist rubber band that says " Free Complain" which was started by this one pastor somewhere in the US to encourage his parishioners to stop complaining. The idea is to put the wrist band in your left hand side for 21 days without complaining. When you complain even to the littlest things than you should shift the wrist band to the other side of your hand and start over and when you broke the cycle again you should shift to the other hand again until you get it right for a complete 21 days.

This exercise allows you to reduce your urge to complain and eventually make a free complain world and build a more positive human being. According to the pastor they are giving this wrist band for free in most of the countries ( I think its just around the USA) and they are giving it by the millions. One funny thing that Oprah said was knows who she would give it to…. And it is actually one of her staff ( her make up artist) , according to Oprah her make up artist is a complainer.

So, why not take a challenge and try to immolate what they are doing and look on the bright side, we wouldn’t lose a thing accept for our habits. I will buy myself a wrist band tomorrow ( of any colour but I will find a purple one) and would try my best to follow the rules and see if I can lose one of my bad habits. If you are reading this why not challenge yourself too and see will it change our life and the people around us, as I said we got nothing to lose accept for our bad habits. Syarifah, Aishah ,Aaron or even anybody out there if you are reading this challenge yourself for 21 days FREE COMPLAIN and i am sure the end result would be a life changing.

Before the marriage:

He: Yes. At last. It was so hard to wait.

She: Do you want me to leave?

He: NO! Don't even think about it.

She: Do you love me?

He: Of course!

She: Have you ever cheated on me?

He: NO! Why you even asking?

She: Will you kiss me?

He: Yes!

She: Will you hit me?

He: No way! I'm not such kind of person!

She: Can I trust you?
