rapid kl

rasanya dah lama sangat tak beli tiket lrt. selalunya, guna touch n' go je.
tiba-tiba semalam, naik lrt nak ke kl. waktu balik kerja nak memandu, memang sakitlah jawabnya dengan jam lagi.


confident pergi ke mesin tiket. nampak kat situ tulisan "rapid kl". toleh kiri kanan dan belakang.. ohh semua mesin sama kecuali mesin untuk bayar parking.


tapi, yg keluar tu cuba token. bukan tiket sekeping macam biasa. ok.. cuba je lah. tapi tengok orang-orang yang lalu nak lepasi palang tu, sentuh kad. takde pun untuk token. saya pergi ke kaunter, kata nak beli tiket. tapi katanya, sekarang tiket semua kena beli di mesin.


ok, saya pergi semula ke mesin. kot-kot tadi tersalah tekan. hmm.. akhirnya keluarkan kad touch n go. nak reload, dan guna je kad lagi senang. sekerat jalan saya terhenti. ehh saya tak bawa kad atm, mcmn nak reload!


hampir 10 minit juga berdiri semula di tepi mesin tiket. akhirnya telefon kawan yang selalu naik lrt. dia dah tergelak. ohh rupanya token tu yang perlu disentuh di "touch screen" tu. ok ok noted. hahaha. padan muka!


tak perasan pun lrt putra tu, dah ditukar nama ke rapid kl. selalu nampak rapid kl ni, kat bas saja. haha. tak apa lah. lepas ni tak silap lagi :x

terukir di bintang

Jika engkau minta intan permata tak mungkin ku mampu
Tapi sayangkan ku capai bintang dari langit untukmu
Jika engkau minta satu dunia akan aku coba
Ku hanya mampu jadi milikmu pastikan kau bahagia

Hati ini bukan milik ku lagi
Seribu tahun pun akan ku nanti
Kan... kamu...

Sayangku
Jangan kau persoalkan siapa dihatiku
Terukir di bintang tak mungkin hilang cintaku padamu

08.02.12 : delhi to agra

 jam 8 kami dah siap2 nak bertolak ke agra. delhi pun dah sejuk. dan kalau ikutkan pembacaan, agra lagi lah sejuk.

dari delhi ke agra, ambil masa 4 jam lebih. memang akan guna highway. tapi, highway di india tak banyak beza dari jalan biasa. malah, jalan biasa lagi ok dari highway. tapi jangan sangka jalannya teruk pula. bertar. bukan tanah merah. dan tahap jem di highway adakala lebih teruk berbanding dengan jalan biasa. 500m sebelum ke kaunter tol, ada bumper. jadi masing2 akan perlahankan kenderaan. tak macam kat tempat kita, bila kosong je lagi nak tekan minyak.


di india, sama macam di thailand @ indonesia. meriah dengan bunyi hon. bukan hon sebab marah. sebagai tanda kita nak lalu @ mencelah. dan dari 3 lane, tak mustahil akan jadi 4-5 lane. dan ada sekali lalu di satu kawasan yang dilarang hon, memang automatik, tak akan kedengaran bunyi hon. bagus juga kan?


sepanjang perjalanan yang panjang tu, driver kami pasang cd hindi. nasib baik lah hindi kan. kalau guna bahasa tamil macam yang selalu kita dengar, mau tambah bosan kot. lagi best sebab lagu2 tu yang famous, yang selalu dengar dalam cerita-cerita hindustan.


sampai di agra, singgah makan dulu di indiana sebelum check in kat hotel. kami duduk je, waiter tu bawa benda ni. mcm ulam dengan sambal belacan ahaha. ada sengkuang, timun, bawang.


 


untuk lunch, saya cuma order chicken fried rice. memang lah kena gelak. sebab, macamlah kat malaysia tak ada nasi goreng ayam tu haha. tapi tak kira lah. sebabnya, saya takut perut tak tahan. banyak yang saya baca, kena berhati-hati bab makanan. sebab, kalau tak tahan atau makan sebarangan, nanti akan mudah terkena cirit birit. dia serve dalam mangkuk ni. nampak je kecik bekas ni. tapi boleh makan 2-3 orang, ok.



 

 hotel kat agra.. hotel panna. Rs2500 semalam. dalam rm150 camtu. 

ok, bila nak booking hotel, check sekali sama ada diorg sediakan breakfast atau tak. sebab nanti kadang kena tipu. macam kami lah. masa nak register dia kata ada breakfast. tapi esoknya, tak ada. tapi tak kisah sangat sebab kami ada bawa biskut, megi dan segala macam. dia tak provide kettle. cuma air panas. kena call room service. tapi kena check juga. sebab kadang-kadang, dalam tu kotor. have to chech everything. lagi2, dengar kat india kalau tak menipu, memang bukan india. tapi kat mana-mana ada kot. just beware.


lepas rest solat semua, bergerak ke taj mahal. dalam jam 2+ petang. waktu ni, driver kami bawa pulak sorg tour guide, viktu. 1 km sebelum sampai ke pintu check tiket,  kami kena turun. kenderaan bermotor tak dibenarkan mendekati kawasan taj mahal. jadinya kena jalan kaki atau naik beca. kami naik ala2 macam van tapi gunakan generator (?) kalau tak salah. jalan kaki pun best rasanya. sebab sambil nikmati permandangan kiri kanan, jalan beramai2 tak akan terasa. tapi disebabkan ada ibu2 mengandung, naik la van tu. bayar Rs100 seorang.

ni pintu masuk utama. tempat untuk check tiket, check beg dan juga pemeriksaan badan.

 viktu belikan tiket. Rs750 termasuk tax. [tiket tu dia pegang dan agaknya terlupa nak berikan pada kami :( ] kalau beli tiket ke taj mahal, simpan sebab, cukai yang kita dah bayar utk masuk ke taj mahal, boleh guna untuk masuk ke fort yang lain [agra fort to be exact]. bila kita beli tiket, akan dapat air mineral secara percuma, juga sarung kasut. betul-betul dia jaga kebersihan kawasan taj mahal.


mungkin sebab kami sampai petang. jadi tak berapa ramai sangat orang beratur. beg akan diperiksa. no cigaret, no lighter, lipstick, food, etc. juga pemeriksaan badan juga. lelaki dan wanita diasingkan ye untuk barisan checking.


taj mahal ni ada 3 pintu untuk masuk (lepas dari kawasan checking). ni salah satu pintu. ada kubah putih kat atas tu, 1 kubang melambangkan 1 tahun. ada 22 kubah (11 kat depan & 11 lagi kat belakang). ada ayat quran kat dinding tu. sebenarnya saiz ayat tu, tak sama besar. bahagian atas lebih besar dari bawah, biar bila orang tengok, seolah sama besar bahagian atas dan bawah. 

sepanjang-panjang jalan nak ke taj mahal tu, ramai je orang yang offer untuk ambik gambar kita. ada yang dia minta Rs2000 utk 21 keping etc. kalau boleh, tawar sehabis boleh. maybe sampai Rs1400 ke. 


ikutkan cerita.. shah jahan dah ada 2 isteri sebelum berkahwin dgn mumtaz. mumtaz ni isteri ketiga. dgn isteri2 terdahulu, mmg tak ada anak. tapi dgn mumtaz, ada 40 org anak. mumtaz ni puteri raja dari parsi, yg cantik. dan shah jahan mmg terlalu sayangkan mumtaz, sampaikan tak ada isteri selepas mumtaz. dan semua2nya untuk mumtaz. 


taj mahal.. here we come







sebenarnya dalam bangunan taj mahal tu, kecik je. tak semua kawasan kat dalam bangunan tu boleh masuk. tapi dgn senibinanya. semuanya marmar. bukannya dicat. belum lagi landskap kat luar. 4 menara taj mahal tu sbnrnya kalau dilihat betul2, sedikit condong menghala ke luar. kenapa? sebab, kalau terjadinya bencana alam, menara tu takkan jatuh mengenai bangunan taj mahal. betapalah telitinya orang2 zaman dulu kan.


itu ini, dah petang. tak sempat nak pergi ke agra fort. viktu jugak tak galakkan kitaorg pergi ke agra fort sebab katanya tak ada apa. waktu keluar dari taj mahal nak ke kenderaan, kiri kanan tu bangunan2 kedai cenderamata. tapi viktu dah pesan, jangan beli apa2. sebab katanya kat situ tak asli. dahtu kalau beli kat sorang, penjual lain akan datang mengerumuni. geram juga saya sebabnya, its normal la kan? kat indo, bangkok pun mcm tu jugak. 


akhirnya dia bawa kitaorg ke kedai kerajaan. mula2 bawa ke kedai ala2 sulaman tu. harga memang mahal la. setimpal dengan jahitan @ sulaman yang cantik. masing2 dah tarik muka jugak. cakap kitaorg nak cari kedai cenderamata. tak nak dah pergi kedai mcm tu. akhirnya dia bawa ke 1 kedai. mana boleh buat pilihan sangat kan? kat sini saya beli 1 replika taj mahal yang paling kecil. ada yang berwarna. tapi saya ambil yg putih. kat tengah2 tu, bahagian bawah ada lubang. gunanya utk masukkan lampu @ mentol kecil.akan cantik la bila lampu menyala. saya jugak beli poskad siap dengan setem. konon nak hantar tapi tak terhantar2.


dah malam, kedai dah tutup. terus ke hotel. simpan tenaga untuk perjalanan esok.

yusry - lisa

i'm not their die hard fan. i just love to see lisa's cute face. but their wedding.. huhu.. so sweet. love story yg sweet. tiba2 rasa jealous hehe.

07.02.11 : from kul to del

flight jam 5pm. saja sampai awal kat airport. dah buat mobile check in siap2. sbb malas nak beratur panjang. pengalaman waktu ke kuching dulu.. terpaksa beratur panjang utk check in. dah la lagi beberapa minit, nak tutup dah kaunter.

kat dalam flight, bahagian depan penuh dgn orang2 indo, ok. yg memang india pun memang la ramai. member memang dah ajak beli seat awal-awal. disebabkan akhirnya kami pergi cuma berlima.. jadi 1 seat kosong tu memang tawakal je lah. ada india duduk kat seat sebelah member tu. waktu makan, siap order beer lagi. sabar je lah.

sampai delhi dalam jam 10pm. beza waktu delhi dgn m'sia, dalam 2 1/2 jam. kira-kira kat malaysia dah jam 12.30am. toilet kat airport bersih je. airport delhi, dah sama dgn klia, ok. bukan lcct haha.

kad utk imigresen memang dah siap isi waktu kat flight. isi borang tu lebih kurang je kami berlima. untuk alamat di india, gunakan alamat abang fahami. sebab memang kami akan tinggal kat situ sepanjang kat delhi pun. masing-masing memang tak isi contact no. sebab tak tau. tengok member-member lain cepat je lepas imigresen tu. tapi tiba-tiba waktu saya, huhu.. dia suruh isi jugak contact no. nasib baik abang fahami dah sampai waktu tu. kalau tak, mau saya tersangkut kat situ. pelik semua orang lepas.

sampai kat rumah faizal, wife dia dah siap masak. huhuuu memang lapar! nasi briyani kat flight tak best!! dah la takde pilihan selain briyani tu.

sebelum tidur, member-member ajak discuss pasal plan esok. tapi macam dah tak boleh catch up je. mengantuk + letih. maybe sebab memang dah masuk waktu untuk tidur kot. lagi-lagi cuaca sejuk ok. dalam 16 darjah.

sorang member tu, memang dah siap-siap bawa list hotel yang dia dah shortlisted. tapi kadang-kadang, susah juga nak bergantung kat net saja. sebab saya tak berapa kisah sangat bab-bab hotel asalkan bersih, jadi bila ada yang cadangkan biar driver je yang bawa tempat yg ok, saya ok saja.

oh ya. untuk driver, kami bayar Rs3,500 seorang untuk 5 hari. tu dah termasuk tol, petrol, parking. kiranya bersih dah.oklah kot. dalam RM250 seorang.

four weddings and a funeral

suddenly i remember the poem given by a long lost friend..



Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crêpe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

khutbah terakhir Rasulullah

untuk renungan bersama.

KHUTBAH TERAKHIR NABI MUHAMMAD S.A.W.

Khutbah ini disampaikan pada 9hb Zulhijjah

Tahun 10 Hijriyang di Lembah Uranah, Gunung Arafah

Wahai manusia, dengarlah baik-baik apa yang hendak kukatakan, Aku tidak mengetahui apakah aku dapat bertemu lagi dengan kamu semua selepas tahun ini. Oleh itu dengarlah deign telti kata-kataku ini dan sampaikanlah ia kepada orang-orang yang tidak dapat hadir disini pada hari ini.

Wahai manusia, sepertimana kamu menganggap bulan ini dan Kota ini sebagai suci, maka anggaplah jiwa dan harta setiap orang Muslim sebagai amanah suci. Kembalikan harta yang diamanahkan kepada kamu kepada pemiliknya yang berhak. Janganlah kamu sakiti sesiapapun agar orang lain tidak menyakiti kami lagi. Ingatlah bahawa sesungguhnya, kamu akan menemui Tuhan kamu dan Dia pasti membuat perhitungan diatas segala amalan kamu. Allah telah mengharamkan riba, oleh itu segala urusan yang melibatkan riba dibatalkan sekarang.

Berwaspadalah terhadap syaitan demi keselamatan agama kamu. Dia telah berputus asa untuk menyesatkan kamu dalam perkara-perkara besar, maka berjaga-jagalah supaya kamu tidak mengikuti dalam perkara-perkara kecil.

Wahai Manusia Sebagaimana kamu mempunyai hak atas isteri kamu mereka juga mempunyai hak di atas kamu. Sekiranya mereka menyempurnakan hak mereka keatas kamu, maka mereka, juga berhak untuk diberi makan dan pakaian dalam Susana kasih saying. Layanilah wanita-wanita kamu dengan baik dan berlemah-lembutlah terhadap mereka kerana sesungguhnya mereka adalah teman dan pembantu kamu yang setia. Dan hak kamu atas mereka ialah mereka sama sekali tidak boleh memasukkan orang yang kamu tidak sukai kedalam rumah kamu dan dilarang melakukan zina.

Wahai Manusia, dengarlah bersungguh-sungguh kata-katku ini, sembahlah Allah, dirikanlah sembahyang lima kali sehari, berpuasalah di bulan Ramadhan, dan tunaikankanlah zakat dari harta kekayaan kamu. Kerjakanlah Ibadah Haji sekiranya kamu mampu. Ketahui bahawa setiap Muslim adalah saudara kepada Muslim yang lain. Kamu semua adalah sama; tidak seorang pun yang lebih mulia dari yang lainnya kecuali dalam Taqwa dan beramal saleh.

Ingatlah, bahawa, kamu akan menghadap Allah pada suatu hari untuk dipertanggung jawabkan diatas segala apa yang telah kamu kerjakan. Oleh itu Awasilah agar jangan sekali-kali kamu terkeluar dari landasan kebenaran selepas ketiadaaku.

Wahai Manusia, tidak ada lagi Nabi atau Rasul yang akan datang selepasku dan tidak akan ada lain agama baru. Oleh itu wahai manusia, nilailah dengan betul dan fahamilah kata-kataku yang telah aku sampaikan kepada kamu. Sesungguhnya aku tinggalkan kepada kamu dua perkara yang sekiranya kamu berpegang teguh dan mengikuti kedua-duanya, necaya kamu tidak akan tersesat selama-lamanya. Itulah ALQURAN dan SUNNAHKU.

Hendaklah orang-orang yang mendengar ucapanku, menyampaikan pula kepada orang lain. Semoga yang terakhir lebih memahami kata-kataku dari mereka yang terus mendengar dariku. Saksikanlah Ya Allah, bahawasanya telah aku sampaikan risalahMu kepada hamba-hambaMU.

jar of hearts

i know i can't take one more step towards you
cause all that's waiting is regret
and don't you know i'm not your ghost anymore
you lost the love i loved the most

i learned to live half alive
and now you want me one more time

and who do you think you are
running 'round leaving scars
collecting your jar of hearts
and tearing love apart
you're gonna catch a cold
from the ice inside your soul
so don't come back for me
who do you think you are

i hear you're asking all around
if i am anywhere to be found
but i have grown too strong
to ever fall back in your arms

and i've learned to live half alive
and now you want me one more time

and who do you think you are
running 'round leaving scars
collecting your jar of hearts
and tearing love apart
you're gonna catch a cold
from the ice inside your soul
so don't come back for me
who do you think you are

and it took so long just to feel alright
remember how to put back the light in my eyes
i wish i had missed the first time that we kissed
cause you broke all your promises
and now you're back
you don't get to get me back

and who do you think you are
running 'round leaving scars
collecting your jar of hearts
and tearing love apart
you're gonna catch a cold
from the ice inside your soul
so don't come back for me
don't come back at all

and who do you think you are
running 'round leaving scars
collecting your jar of hearts
and tearing love apart
you're gonna catch a cold
from the ice inside your soul
so don't come back for me
don't come back at all
who do you think you are?

parking

saya parking betul-betul di depan bank petang tadi, sebab nak bayar loan kat 1 atm. habis je, saya terus keluar. tapi rupanya ada sebuah motosikal parking betul2 di belakang kereta saya. mungkin orang yang guna mesin atm sebelah saya kot.

tak apalah. sekejap je. dari dalam kereta, saya boleh nampak lelaki tu. dari mesin atm, dia berdiri seolah membelek sesuatu. kemudian, dia pergi ke mesin atm semula (atau ke mesin cash deposit?) beberapa minit kemudian, dia berdiri lama di depan pintu bank.

alamak. takkan dia tak nampak saya? dan dia tak sedar yang motornya betul2 menghalang saya untuk keluar parking? nak bunyikan hon, saya rasa tak perlu. akhirnya dia berjalan perlahan menuju ke motornya. menoleh ke arah saya tanpa berkata apa-apa. juga tiada senyum. terus saya ucap: terima kasih, ya? dia hanya menonong pergi.

aduh! ehehe. dah la tiada kata maaf. atau angguk ke. atau.. apa2 saja. tak apalah. mungkin fikirannya terganggu, dan tak sedar apa yang berlaku :|

:(

dah beberapa malam tidur tak berapa lena. sudahlah susah nak lelap (walaupun terasa letih yang amat sangat!) dan sekitar pukul 3, akan terjaga. dan lepas tu, akan terjaga selang setengah jam. akhirnya 3-4 hari ni, saya datang awal ke pejabat.

tapi hari ni, agaknya dah terlalu kurang tidur, pagi tadi saya terlewat bangun! tersedar, dah pukul 7.44!
alhamdulillah masih ramai yang bercuti. maka jalan tak berapa sesak. dan saya sempat sampai sebelum 8.30. kalaulah minggu depan saya terlewat bangun macam tu, maunya jam 8.45 baru sampai ke pejabat.

tapi sejak dari pagi, kepala berdenyut sakit! bahana kurang tidur ke?

dslr saya

currently i'm having this..

and i attended few classes. during my class, the teacher show us extra lens. tapi lebih berminat pada dua lens ni..

dan

tetapi malangnya, my camera is not so compatible with these lens, due to the sharpness etc as my camera is old version and nikon is no longer produce this model.

i'm looking to another model (intend to trade in @ sell my old camera sob sob :'( ) but the model which is suitable with my budget is..

itupun harganya, kena berfikir banyak kali. sedih! harap-harap ada rezeki datang menggolek haha. nampak gaya, tak boleh bawa lens baru waktu bercuti akan datang ni. :'(

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island

Director: Brad Peyton
Cast: Dwayne Johnson, Michael Caine, Josh Hutcherson, Luis Guzman, Vanessa Hudgens, Kristin Davis

Synopsis: Young Sean Anderson (Josh Hutcherson, reprising his role from the first film) receives a coded distress signal from a mysterious island where no island should exist. It's a place of strange life forms, mountains of gold, deadly volcanoes, and more than one astonishing secret. Unable to stop him from going, Sean's new stepfather, Hank (Dwayne Johnson), joins the quest. Together with a helicopter pilot (Luis Guzman) and his beautiful, strong-willed daughter (Vanessa Hudgens), they set out to find the island, rescue its lone inhabitant and escape before seismic shockwaves force the island under the sea and bury its treasures forever.

(Source: WARNER BROS. PICTURES)


 watched this movie today with dd. sebenarnya tak ada plan pun. tapi dah alang-alang keluar. memang menarik la movie ni. kelakar pun ye. the best part for me.. when hank playing guitar and sing a song for sean & his grandpa. a bit sad scene actually. and one more thing, the scenery @ prop is superb!

hutang

alkisahnya, ada beberapa orang yang berhutang sejak berapa bulan, juga dah menginjak bertahun. tapi kelihatannya tiada niat untuk membayar kembali. sedihnya saya :(

sekiranya dia berhutang kerana sesuatu yang benar2 penting, mungkin saya akan halalkan saja seperti nak menguruskan jenazah.. atau untuk keperluan sekolah anak2..  tapi ini, untuk keperluan sendiri (shopping etc) di mana waktu itu duit tak mencukupi.

memang salah saya memberi pinjaman. tapi nak menolak, saya tidak tahu perkataan apa yang sesuai. dan sekarang, untuk menuntut kembali wang sendiri, saya pula yang malu. dan kebetulan waktu ini, saya sedikit terdesak menyebabkan saya teringat hutang2 yang belum dibayar.

sekiranya waktu ini, dia hidup melarat, mungkin saya tidak berapa kisah. tetapi kalau dia boleh saja bersiar2 ke sana sini, atau bekerja dengan nama yang agak besar.. dan mencanangkan pada semua orang?


Orang kaya yang menunda-nunda (mengulur-ulurkan waktu) pembayaran hutangnya adalah kezaliman. (HR. Bukhari)

happy cny

for those who celebrate chinese new year..

FB

Bosses face problem with workers wasting time on FB PETALING JAYA: Employers are increasingly faced with the problem of employees wasting their time on Facebook and other social networking websites during office hours. “Many companies have blocked their employees from accessing Facebook in the office, but this measure is not always effective as many of them can still access the website on their smartphones,” said Malaysian Employers Federation executive director Shamsuddin Bardan. Although most employers wanted to stop employees from chatting or playing games online, he noted that companies in fields such as entertainment and media needed to access the social websites to keep up with the latest trends and news. How the problem of time-wasting on websites was handled depended on “the nature of business” of the companies concerned, said Shamsuddin. He added that young people might not be interested in working for companies which were too strict and did not allow them to log on to Facebook. MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Michael Chong said that Facebook users were “inviting trouble” if they constantly updated their status with information on their whereabouts and what they were doing. “There are young girls who even update their status to say that they are going to take a bath,” he said. He added that 14 female Facebook users had reported to the department that they were cheated and blackmailed last year rasanya ni masalah yang dihadapi ramai orang terutama bos2. hehe.. tapi sungguh, bos takkan bising atau marah kalau berfb, asalkan kerja siap dan tak buat salah. tapi macamana dengan staff yang berfb, dengan alasan kalau tak berfb, nanti mengantuk. nak kena ada entertainment jugak katanya. tapi kerja banyak yang tak betul. tak boleh berfb, berym @ bergtalk la pulak. sigh* kemudian bila takde bonus @ kenaikan gaji, mula merungut hehe. its normal, huh.

karnival buku karangkraf

ok,karnival buku dah kembali! sesiapa yang ada masa lapang, serta tak tahu nak buat apa, boleh je datang dan jengah karnival ni.

takde plan nak membeli apa-apa pun. saja-saja dari tak buat apa-apa.

gaji

baru-baru ni, dah selesai penilaian tahunan untuk semua pekerja. dan perkara biasa, ada yang dapat kenaikan gaji. ramai juga yang kekal. cuma, bonus untuk tahun lepas, akan dibayar serentak.

dan selalunya, sewaktu assessment, pekerja tersebut akan diberitahu kenaikan @ bonus yang akan diterima. dan sudah diingatkan, to keep it as secret. tapi, ada ke yang betul-betul amanah dalam bab ni?

tak sampai seminggu, rupanya sudah ada yang membuka meja bulat, berbincang mengenai kenaikan gaji dan bayaran bonus, sedangkan bayaran masih belum diterima. agaknya masing-masing ingin membanding-bandingkan sesama mereka. 

tak terasa apa-apa ke sekiranya orang yang ditanya tu, mendapat bonus yang sedikit, atau tidak mendapat sebarang kenaikan gaji? atau.. diri sendiri tak tercabar ke sekiranya orang yang ditanya mendapat lebih banyak dari diri sendiri?

ntahlah. sebab, sejak dari saya mula berkerja, tak pernah saya berkongsi gaji ataupun bertanya sesiapa mengenai gaji yang mereka terima. itulah manusia.. rambut sama hitam, hati lain-lain. walaupun rambut sekarang tak ramai dah yang berwarna hitam he he.

Checking out at the supermarket recently, the young cashier suggested I should bring my own bags because plastic bags weren’t good for the environment. I apologized and explained, “We didn’t have this green thing back in my earlier days“.

The clerk responded, “That’s our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment for future generations“.

She was right about one thing–our generation didn’t have the green thing in “Our” day. So what did we have back then? After some reflection and soul-searching on “Our” day, here’s what I remembered we did have….

Back then, we returned milk bottles, pop bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles repeatedly. So they really were recycled. But we didn’t have the green thing back in our day.

We walked up stairs, because we didn’t have an escalator in every store and office building. We walked to the grocery store and didn’t climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks. But she was right. We didn’t have the green thing in our day.

Back then, we washed the baby’s nappies because we didn’t have the throw-away kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy gobbling machine burning up 240 volts — wind and solar power really did dry our clothes back in our early days. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing. But that young lady is right. We didn’t have the green thing back in our day.

Back then, we had one TV, or radio, in the house — not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief (remember them?), not a screen the size of Wales. In the kitchen, we blended & stirred by hand because we didn’t have electric machines to do everything for us. When we packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, we used wadded up old newspapers to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap.

Back then, we didn’t fire up an engine and burn petrol just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power. We exercised by working so we didn’t need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity. But she’s right. We didn’t have the green thing back then.

We drank from a water fountain when we were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water. We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull. But we didn’t have the green thing back then.

Back then, people took the bus, and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their mums into a 24-hour taxi service. We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And we didn’t need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 2,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest pizza joint.

But isn’t it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn’t have the green thing back then?

Please post this on your Facebook profile so another selfish old person who needs a lesson in conservation from a smarty-pants young person can add to this.
