guruh berdentum dentam bagaikan gergasi2 sedang berlari2 mengejar satu sama lain... kilat yang sabung menyabung memberi sedikit sinar didalam kegelapan senja dimana awan2 kumolonimbus telah menutup segala sisa2 sinar matahari senja...teduhan yang besar juga tidak menjamin akan tahap kekeringan pakaian anda kerana angin yg bertiup kencang telah mengatasi bumbung2 besar itu... ketakutan dan keterkejutan oleh guruh2 dan kilat2 itu....kesejukan dek kebasahan dari rintik2 hujan yang bertiupan... sedang saya tekun menanti ketibaan yang tersayang...tibalah seorang apek yg dlm lingkungan umur 60 tahun menaiki sebuah motor kapcai lengkap dgn helmet biasa full face dan baju hujan beserta seluar hujan... seorang nyonya yg membawa payung terus menghampiri apek itu... tapi apek suruh nyonya ke dalam sedikit supaya tidak terkena tempias hujan... lalu dia membuka baju hujannya dan menyuruh nyonya memakainya... sementara nyonya sedang memakai baju hujan itu, apek bergegas kembali ke motornya dan menga...

Take a peek at some of the most frugal wealthy people in the world. Warren Buffett Associated Press Millions of people read Buffett's books and follow his firm, Berkshire Hathaway 's, every move.

He and his wife still live in their modest home in Omaha, Nebraska which they purchased for just $31,500 more than 50 years ago. Although he's dined in the best restaurants around the glo...

BISMILLAH adalah sebutan/nama singkat dari lafaz 'BISMILLAHIR ROHMAANIR ROHIIM' yang bermaksud 'Dengan nama ALLAH Yang Maha Pengasih lagi Maha> Penyayang.' KELEBIHAN-KELEBIHAN BISMILLAH 1.

Dua minggu lepas saya melihat seorang wanita sedang asyik membaca majalah diruang menunggu LRT. Beliau membaca ruangan "Beduk diketuk" . Tanpa melihat majalahnya saya pasti ianya majalah SOLUSI. Dengan rasa bangga saya pun keluarkan majalah SOLUSI yang saya bawa dan baca ruangan baca ruangan yg sama dan tajuknya ialah "ORANG IKHLAS TERTINDAS". Karikaturnya menarik juga.Kebetulan ada sahabat yg menghantar rencana ini ke email saya, bertambah mudahlah saya memanjangkannya sebagai iktibar. HarAp tidak di dakwa oleh penerbit majalah SOLUSI. ORANG IKHLAS ITU TERTINDAS? Jika kita memberi kebaikan kepada seseorang, kebaikan itu akan dibalas walaupun yang membalasnya bukan orang yang kita berikan kebaikan itu. Hakikat ini mengingatkan saya kepada satu perbualan yang berlaku sewaktu saya mengendalikan program latihan beberapa tahun lalu di sebuah organisasi. “Saya tidak mempunyai apa-apa harapan lagi pada organisasi ini,” kata seorang kakak berterus-terang. “Mengapa?” bala...

TODAY'S INSPIRATION! HOW TO STAY YOUNG ... ... 1. Throw out non-essential numbers. This includes age, weight, and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them. 2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. (Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches!) 3. Keep learning: Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain get idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop ." And the dvil's name is Alzheimer's ! 4. Enjoy the simple things 5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with her/him ! 6. The tears happen: Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is our self. LIVE while you are alive. 7. Surround yourself with what you love: Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge. 8. Cherish your health: If it...

- this is sharing stories session - Many years ago in a small Indian village, a farmer had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to a village moneylender. The moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer's beautiful daughter. So he proposed a bargain. He said he would forgo the farmer's debt if he could marry his daughter. Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified by the proposal. So the cunning money-lender suggested that they let providence decide the matter. He told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty money bag. Then the girl would have to pick one pebble from the bag. 1) If she picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her father's debt would be forgiven. 2) If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father's debt would still be forgiven. 3) If she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail. They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the farmer's fiel...

- this is sharing stories session - To those who are married, .. Not married .. and soon to be married MARRIAGE When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? I avoided her question. This made her angry.. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Dew. I didn't love her anymore. I just pitied her! With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car...

hubby boleh lah dikategorikan sbg 'kaki sport'.. sport yg dia layan football (semestinya), f1, badminton, volleyball dan.... skrg dia sudah mempengaruhi anak2 melayan sport (i have no objection) hari tu masa piala thomas, mmg kitorg beria2 lah menyokong malaysia depan tv, dan kechiwa dgn malaysia kalah skrg world cup fever, disbbkan rumah tiada astro jdnya terhad sket lah match yg boleh ditgk... tp setiap kali tgk memula skali aiman akan memilih pasukan mana yg dia nak sokong berdasarkan warna baju je... pastu berlagak kalau pasukan yg dia sokong masukkan goal... "kan aiman dah kata yg merah tu terer, kan dah goal" pastu rtm pun satu, kalau takde live diorg akan siarkan match tu pukul 5 pagi yg akan habis lebih kurang sebelum kul 7... so bila kitorg bangunkan aiman dlm 6.30 pg, kalau dia liat2 nak bangun... kitorg buka je tv, dia dgr je ada bola terus zzuuuppp bangun gi tengok tv :P ada sekali tu dia tanya "apsal malaysia tak main utk world cup?" hubby jwb ...

saya bekerja di area golden triangle of kuala lumpur.... ofis ku yg setinggi 24 tingkat terasa agak kecil di celah2 pencakar langit yg lain... sepanjang 2 tahun penetapan di sini, ada beberapa perkara yg menarik perhatian saya.... sekali pandang mcm tak luas sgt, tp tanah itu tetap cukup untuk mendirikan sebuah bangunan yg bertingkat2 lebih dari 10 lah... car park yg besar (yg kapasiti lebih dr 100 kereta) mesti tak akan bertahan lama lah... mesti *ka-ching* bertukar menjadi bangunan kuala lumpur tidak penah cukup hotel, buat bangunan baru je, hotel, hotel, hotel tak percaya?? percayalah..... (sila nyanyi ;) ) tak lama lagi klcc akan dikelilingi dgn hotel; existing: mandarin oriental, traders, maya will be: hyatt, four season bnyk bangunan baru, apa jd dgn bangunan lama? boleh di 'mekap' tmbh sket kosmetik (cermin , new paint) and voila... dah jadi bangunan baru taknak mekap? takpe... extend je bangunan sedia ada, kembangkan sisi2 yg boleh berkembang back lane yg tak digunakan ...

Scenario A Aiman: Ibu masak apa malam ni? Me: Nasi lah. Aiman: Alah, tak nak lah. Hari2 makan nasi. (terpaksa lah ibu nye tukar menu dinner) Scenario B At a kedai makan, waiter dtg to get the order... Aiman: Air ribena satu Erina: Air oren (waiter jot down the order, we order and he wrote some more then he went away) Aiman: Eh! Meja ni tak lap.

Do you use public transportation? I use it every working days. For some people, it is very difficult since have to 'bersesak-sesak'. Have to wait. Out of their way. And many other reasons that applicable to those who do not want to use it. I am not being judgmental. Just laying out all the possible reasons that I can think of. As for me, I always live nearby public transportation hub or station. If something happen to our own vehicle, public transportation is always there to be as a backup. Despite the irregularities of the arrival schedule, I think is enough as backup plan. I do not drive yet and thats became the main reason for me to use public transportation. Plus the parking fee at my office area is ridiculously expensive. Parking fee for a month could buy me a pair of Primavera shoes :) Another reason is because I find using public transportation is greener. Less carbon foot print. Just another small contribution to save the world. :) There are alwa...
