Listen! Listen! And Listen… Enough is enough. Cukup! Cukup!

Dah berabuk.... PerjalananKu... sebab tak berkesempatan melancong. So tak banyak nak citer. But lately dpt berborak2 dgn kwn2 yg bukan lagi sebangsa. Dari situ dapat lihat pemikiran mereka apatah lagi election semakin hampir... ini sedikit sedutan hasil perbincangan bersama mereka. Jika tarak percaya, is up to you guys. But whoever knows me very well, minta fikir-fikirkan..... Indeed the next posting would be more interesting. Yg pasti mereka dah firm dan berani tanya you undi sapa.

2 hari lepas sempat berborak2 dgn sorang Uncle ni. Nampak fit, selalu di qym. Kali ni adalah peluang berborak bermula dr latarbelakang peribadi sehingga ke politik. Memang hebat komen2 dia, sikit2 nak jadi mcm Singaporah.  Sini banyak corruptionlah, semua sentiment condem saja.

But bila katanya2 yg diucapkan menyetuh:-

• Why so many government servant? – Dia pun keje gomen

• Loook, we have so many GLCs?

• Complaint about program astronaut Negara.

I cuba mencelah, kadang2 org kebiasaan tak Nampak or faham what leaders are doing.

Aku pun cakap, pernah lihat dokumenteri di BBC channel about Iron Lady- Margaret Hilda Thatcher did in late 70 to transform UK from cheap labour industry to higher income country. Habis semua industry tekstil, shipbuilding closing down… sebab katanya “Industri mcm ni negara2 yg mempunyai labour cost yg murah pasti akan take over the business”. So bermulah transformasi ekonomi yg lebih high income seperti services, financial ,etc…. then  blah2..

But rakyat UK pd masa itu mogok, riot dan bermacam2 yg berlaku yg threaten the government of the Day. As we all realise the reality is there. If UK still maintain its economic model as in early 50s or 60s. For sure, lebih cepat depa bungkus.

 

Uncle ni pun tukar topic lain plak… dia cakap I agree to disagree.

So hasil isu yg dikupaskan sudah Nampak jelas apa yg dikejar oleh suku2 tertentu. Corruption, transparency itu Cuma….. pada kulit. Tapi sebenarnya ia lebih bermotif utk di kuasai oleh mereka saja.

GLCs…. Hugo Chávez bila berkuasa mejadikan  nationalizing various key industries. Why!!!.... depa ni nak open to public. Indeed dlm Forum IKIM di suatu ketika dulu, mensyorkan gomen memperkasakan lagi GLCs…. Kenapa. Cuma faham maksud tersirat….

Let’s focus how to improve the current situation and move forward. Jgn melalut le….. cakap berbelit2..dah.

So bg aku Nampak jelas topeng sebenar mereka ni, menunding kpd org lain cukup hebat. But kira undi pun boleh review balik…. After few weeks. Setahu gua apek2 sempua ni bab untung rugi cepat je kiraannya but….. ni smpai berminggu2… Logik la Bro. Cover line

Let’s the silent majority show their stand  Listen! Listen! And Listen… Enough is enough. Cukup! Cukup!

Kita kapankan dinasour politik2 ini…

 

Are you Too technical

Dlm bidang baru yg aku ceburi, kombinasi ilmu amat penting dlm merealisasikan impian. Bkn apa, ini citer pasal transformasi diri la....

Cara berfikir sorang yg berniaga amat terlalu berbeza. Jika jurutera begitu fokus terhadap urusan teknikalnya............. maka rasanya sampai situ aje skill sets anda or kita. Kerana begitu payah utk menerobosi tembok group pengurusan dlm sesebuah organisasi.

Too technical......  

Sebenarnya, hasil pemerhatian aku.... org biz ni x perlu sijil yg berjela2. Tapi mesti perlu tau mana nak cari... apa yg dikehendaki.

Cthnya; too supply computers......300 bijik. Bg org teknikal yg pasti memikirkan about spec... how to comply. But actually dlm biz, dia akan ambil spec tu submit kpd supplier(ini yg penting..utk dpt servis, harga bagus) then fikir bagaimana nak finance projek tu. Then finally how to collect the money.... betul tak!!!!!

But being a technical guy, u really have advantages compared to normally bizman.... really2 I mean it. Why... HOWw... will write later.

Wassalam

Dunia berubah. Adakah kita juga...

Mungkin suatu yg asing apabila kita melakukan sesuatu yg berbeza dgn majoriti lakukan. Namun tidak semestinya yg berbeza itu salah. Apa motif statement itu......

Dewasa ini tuntutan utk berubah begitu acapkali d war-warkan. Namun masing2 lebih suka utk menunding jari utk menyuruh pemerintah berubah. Tapi yg sewajarnya kita perlu juga melihat diri sendiri, family dan surrounding community utk berubah..... disebabkan perubahan senantiasa diperlukan.

Bak celoteh bersama Dato Dr. MAZA semasa kami sekampung, lebih kurang...

"Jika kehidupan kita ini monotonous or flat, pastinya tiada apa yg dpt kita ceritakan kpd anak, keluarga or masyarakat; atau dlm bahasa kasar membosankan. Tapi jika kehidupan ini senantiasa ada transformasi, pasti lebih ceria & menarik"

Sebagai contoh, jika kita sebagai jurutera. Dr awal hingga ke akhir pencen pun sebagai jurutera.... malah lebih kurang menarik jika masih di tempat yg sama....... waduh2, tiada bezanya persekitaran yg pasti bg aku membosankan. Maaf ya!!!

Bkn apa peredaran budaya kerja pun terlalu banyak berubah. Dulu aku memikirkan jika mempunyai sebuah rumah kedai, bagaimana ingin mencari penyewa. Tapi sekarang ini begitu banyak konsep sharing office dlm konteks yg lebih canggih digelar virtual office.Malah di Bukit Kiara, terdapat banyak konsep sharing office, utk 1 or 2 or 4 pekerja. Ini hasil kepesatan teknologi ICT yg mana d mana kita berada kerja dpt dibereskan. Itu yg perlu Handphone yg skrin besar..... laju, boleh skrol,....

Semoga relevan inipati ini.....

Capture Screen To Video

Ada keje plak..mcm mana nak capture video ni.... cari2 google. Mudah2 saja.....

Evaluateee mana yg sesuai dgn keperluan kita. Yg best, ni free, boleh capture Audio & Video. Setting mudah plak. Enjoy!!

12.12.12....

Maka cukup2 sudah d penghujung tahun 2012, tarikh yg amat menarik ini bkn sahaja 12.12.12 TETAPI juga usia yg mencapai suatu angka yg amat bermakna.

Malah dpt hadiah menarik selari dgn cita rasa or lebih tepat cara  saya berfikir ketika ini. Semoga memberi idea dan suntikan semangat utk terus mengapai sesuatu d impikan utk mengubah persekitaran.


Semoga senantiasa d rahmati Illahi, jln yg pasti berliku insaallah kita akan melalui dgn tabah, Insaallah.

Di ambang...

Perjalananku pantas berlalu... tup tup udah mencapai usia matang dalam kamus kehidupan seorang manusia. Pelbagai ranjau dalam kehidupan telah ku tempuhi, Alhamdulillah, bersyukur ke hadrat Illahi kerna masih menghirup udara ciptaannya.

Zaman Sekolah

Banyak kenangan yang mengajar aku untuk meneruskan impian dan harapan. Dari sorang budak kampung yang ingin mengenggam angan2 utk belajar ke menara gading. 

Sejak dari bermula sekolah setiap kita mempunyai cita2, untuk mngapai impian. Di sekolah rendah memang aku mempunyai ramai teman2 dari pelbagai bangsa. Manakan tidak bersekolah ketika itu di Sekolah Inggeris. Alhamdulillah berkat tunjuk ajar dr abah, aku berjaya meneruskan pelajaran k Sekolah Berasrama Penuh.

Di sini kehidupan mengurus diri dan disiplin terhadap masa menjadi ilmu yang teramat berguna. Memanglah mengejar ilmu itu sebagai tumpuan utama pada ketika itu tetapi pengalaman tinggal di asrama hanya yg pernah melaluinya saja adakalanya menyebabkan kita ketawa sendirian.

Zaman U

Zaman ini semakin mencabar, 2+4 tahun amat menakutkan. Apakan tidaknya, pada awal semester di U ada saja 1 paper yg terpaksa di repeat. Apabila di congak, sempat ke aku graduate on time.....

Namun selepas latihan praktikal, semua berjalan dgn licin sekali. Mungkin recharge selepas berehat menyebabkan aku terus memecut.

Alhamdulillah, aku dpt graduate on the dot.

Zaman bekerja

Zaman ini memberi aku peluang utk melihat bumi Malaysia, terutama KL. Pelbagai warna kehidupan yg terpampang di depan mata. Bagaimana kita ingin mewarnai kehidupan ini.

Ketika itu minda masih begitu tertutup utk melihat perspektif yg lebih besar. Bkn mcm sekarang kecil2 sudah melancong ke mana2, dulu mana ada AirAsia ni.

Saya masih ingat, pada ketika umur 28thn aku baru pertama kali ke luar negara... iaitu tetangga kita Indonesia. Hampir 1 minggu di sana, sedikit memberi gambaran di mana letaknya negara Malaysia.

Segalanya berubah tatkala aku berpeluang ke Deutschland. Hampir 17bln di sana, menguji ketabahan tatkala meninggalkan family di Malaysia. Aku begitu teruja melihat negara Europe..... yg pernah ingin ku kunjugi tatkala lepas SPM. Namun atas perkara yg tidak dpt dielakkan aku redha utk belajar di negara sendiri.

Hasil perjalananku ke Deutshland dan negara sekitar, aku mula melihat perspektif dunia dgn cabaran yg berbeda.

Oleh itu hasil perancangan yg tersusun, maka kami sekeluarga peluang berkelana di bumi UK. Ini memberi peluang anak2 membuka minda lebih awal dlm mencari hala tujuan di masa hdapan.

Insaallah, kini merancang utk mencipta peluang utk dikongsi oleh org lain pula agar dpt melihat bumi ciptaan Illahi.

Alhamdulillah, semoga di beri kesihatan yang baik di negara bertuah ini. Insaallah.

Natrah...

Petikan drp blog http://nadra-natrah.blogspot.com/. Semasa di UK, memang ingin menulis mengenai kisah ini... namun kesempatan ini kita sama2 membaca... history about Nadra. Semoga menjadi pengajaran.... tatkala kita tiada kesepakatan..

Sinopsis

Nadra was born on 24 March 1937 to a Dutch family living in Thjimahi, near Bandung, Indonesia. Her father, Adrianus Petrus Hertogh, came to Java in the 1920s as a sergeant in the Royal Netherlands Indies Army. He married Adeline Hunter, a Eurasian of Scottish-Malay descent brought up in Indonesia, in the early 1930s.

When World War II broke out, Sergeant Hertogh was captured by the Imperial Japanese Army and sent to a POW holding facility in Japan, where he was kept till 1945.

Meanwhile, Adeline Hertogh stayed with her mother, Nor Louise (muslim), and her five children, among whom Maria was the third and youngest daughter. On December 29, 1942, Mrs. Hertogh gave birth to her sixth child, a boy. Three days later, Maria went to stay with Aminah binte Mohammad, a 42-year-old malay woman and a close friend of Nor Louise.

This controversial transfer of custody, reversed in a Singaporean court eight years later, was the centre and opening episode of the tragic riots that were to come.

Nadra's Words...

Nadra's ex husband (Mansor Adabi) used to say sadly: " Until today, everyone has written that Aminah (Nadra's foster mother) was a maid servant. Justice Brown, who presided Nadra's case,mentioned that Aminah should be described as belonging to the bourgeosie or middle class. He then mentioned Han Suyin, the renown author, who corresponded with him. 'In one of her book, Mortal Flower, Aminah was described as a maid servant.

Nadra told the Dutch newspaper that she never wanted to come back to Holland. Her foster mother, Aminah, was not a servant. She said:

She was a Japanese language teacher. She helped my mother to a great deal during the Japanese occupation. My mother gave my brother Benny and myself to Aminah. Aminah sent Benny back as she could not look after him. Aminah also gave my mother a sewing machine. My mother lied that Aminah took me and ran away. My grandmother knew the truth. I had been with Aminah for a long time and when little Karen was born. I went home to see him, even I even slept at home that night. Mother came every month to Aminah's house and then she would comb my hair.

The truth revealed by Nadra (Maria Hertogh) suprised everyone. One newspaper reported:

How we welcome the news. We reported everything. We reported a happily laughing Maria returning home...We reported...hundreds of people broke through the police cordon...We reported how maternal love triumphed...but failed to report that Maria was totally miserable.

The Truth Background of Aminah (Nadra's foster mother)

Aminah binti Mohamed came from a respected Malay family in Kemaman, Terengganu in the East Coast o Peninsular Malaya (Malaysia since 16th September 1963). In 1919, at the age of nineteen, Aminah married one Abdul Rani fom Perak who was then the private secretary to the Sultan of Terengganu. Soon after their marriage, the couple moved to Tokyo and lived there for nearly ten years during which time they both became fluent in the Japanese language. Because they had no children of their own, Aminah adopted a Japanese girl and brought her to her hometown Kemaman. They named her Kamariah. A few years after their return from Japan to Malaya, Abdul Rani died.

Aminah, the widow, then re-married one Maarof bin Haji Abdul, a jeweller in Bandung. As a businessman, Maarof used to travel widely in the South-East Asian region and in one such travel with her husband, Aminah met Nor Louise (Nadra's grandmother) in Singapore. Consequently, their relationship grew and they became very close friends.

They visited one another frequently and Nor Louise used to take Aminah to her daughter, Adelaide (Nadra's mother)'s house. During these visits, they confided in each other their aspirations and their problems as well. Louise sympathised with Aminah for not having any children and suggested that she adopt a child but Aminah was not enthusiastic about it as she had already adopted a Japanese child.

From there, they become close friend untill Japanese occupation in which Adelaide asked Aminah if she would like to have one of her children.

The story started here and went on till real life drama about the two women who fought for the Custody of a thirteen-year old girl (Nadra) happened a few years later.

Poor Nadra..firmly hug to her loving foster mother Aminah before be departed away forever
