:::Demi Mencari Hidup yang Sempurna:::

Earlier this week, UNESCO has finally recognised Palestine as a country with a unanimous vote from the members. With that regard, Palestine is now a state member of UN organisation. The inquiry has been made several months ago for Palestine to be included as a state member of the UN.

Katanya sukan nadi negara. Majulah sukan unutk negara. Maka, dengan semangat kesukanan jugalah, perlawanan akhir Piala Malaysia 2011 akan menemukan Negeri Sembilan dan Terengganu. Jujurnya, saya bangga juga dengan skuad Hobin Jang Hobin ni. Tak sangka-sangka 2 tahun berturut dah masuk final (setakat yang saya tengok lah).

Hi everyone. I hope there are still people reading my blog. Haha. So, as the title sounds, Citra Malaysia 2011. It was the Malaysia's biggest cultural event ever made in Brisbane, Queensland. This year's would be a landmark event for the many coming years. I was given an opportunity to perform in the event. I was singing 4 songs of the 60's or people in Malaysia called it, pop yeh yeh..! I feel honoured to perform in such a big event. In fact, that would be my first time performing in front of the crowd, besides the one during SDAR Open Day in 2008 (that was silly). Well, I must say that the event was a success. Not to forget my performance was so energetic, I managed to get almost everyone to dance along while I was singing Keindahan Pantai by A. Romzi. For the first time in my life, I felt like accomplished! Haha.. Now i know how Beyonce fells after every performance! Chewah!

There are many people getting heartbroken everyday. Amazingly, there are many people falling in love in every single minute too (I don't have a statistical fact, but I guess so). To me, as a guy, getting heartbroken may not be a big deal maybe because I barely have so many relationship before. Ok, I probably once had a getting-serious kind of relationship but it was sort of my fault maybe because I wasn't ready. Now..? hehe.. have no idea..

There are things that we sometime take for granted. A lot of things around us.. we just never realised that. Once we realised we had taken something for granted, we will regret everything. But the problem with regretting is, we will never make it to the past and perhaps repeat it all over again so the mistake won't happen.

Hi there.. It's been a while i haven't updated this blog. In conjunction with the holy month of Ramadhan, I would like to take this opportunity to greet everyone Happy Ramadhan Al-Mubarak.. May everything we do will be blessed by the Mighty Allah. InsyaAllah..

I've been told about the final match and surprisingly, it did not go well, well at least as what we expected. It is a common thing after every match that when we are the one loosing, so many thoughts coming into our head such as:
1. Never mind, we'll try again harder next year..
2. It is a common thing. Win and lost.
3. Maybe we tried not hard enough. Well, check it back on us

But, the truth is, is that what really happening? Or it is just a reason to make us feel better? I am pretty sure, many of them who ever been in such situation know how hurt it is, when we actually tried our best, even it was the best out of us, and we lost, we feel like it is already the end of the whole world.

So, i am not commenting on any side, not even to be on any side. But I too am a human. So, i must pick a side. Well, obviously, it will always be them.

I must say that it hurts a lot. And I have a proof. I have been through it many times and for every times, i tried to be rational. But human nature can't really make us control everything for a long period of time, and when it comes to the moment where we can no longer hold it, we explode. Like a timing bomb. We started to fell that world has not treated us justly and fairly. Everything is a lie and we cannot stand it anymore. (and by world, I do not mean the fate the God has set for us, but the system that mankind made to rule us)

So, my point here is, if we really feel that world has treated us unfairly, then make something that will show it to the world that we are doing just fine. Make amend if there is anything we have wronged, and keep improving ourselves. The only thing matters is not how far we have reached, but rather how much effort, how much strength, and how much thing we have sacrificed to be at the point we are now. But of course winning is actually a thing that matters. but if we are not the winner, does not mean we are a loser.

So, I think everyone knows what I am talking about. And you might think that I am defending them and i can't accept the fact that we lost. Whatever it is, I believe everything happened for at least a reason. I will accept whatever the reason is, because I know them the best - well everyone knows them the best.

For that, I still want to congratulate them for whatever level they have reached. People judged us. Judge alone is not a good indication whether a thing is good or bad. That is why we have trial by judge (not in Malaysia obviously), because it is judged by mostly peers. Sometime, we have to take into account what other people see us. They might have a different angle and view point. So, if they say we are bad, then probably we are.

For Cikgu Muhammad, thanks a lot lot lot lot... Only Allah knows how can all your efforts, knowledge and times and money can be paid off. Nothing on this Earth can replace the quality you have. You have always been someone that i looked up to and even until now, you are still the one in my heart. I love the way you comfort us when we are in need of motivation and every thought you have said is so insightful. If there is anything I can do just to have your words, I would. Thank you so much.

So, that is it. The end of the journey for this year. May the upcoming years be better and let us beat them all. What is done is done and keep moving on. Cheers.

p/s: think at the bright side. What would have we done if the results is the other way? Think about it.

Here I am, writing again, letting people know about what is wrong and what is right.. Ok now let me tell you about being selfish. Well, I am not the one to decide what is wrong and right but I just happen to know what is wrong and what is right.

I don’t know why I hate certain kind of people that when what they are doing their whole life is supposedly to be loveable by people, instead of making people at ease, they tend to be the most annoying people on planet Earth. Yes, that is the kind of people that I’m talking about, that is, people who believed they do many good things, right things, and it’s a lot, when unconsciously, they screw up their relationship with people around them.

I refuse to give any example because it only hurts me more. But still, I cant resist to talk about them, simply because they think that they are so perfect when in fact they are not. I was thinking deeply, day and night, and suddenly realised that there is no way you can avoid this kind of people because they are unbeatable. I am pretty sure that the more you counter argue with them, the more annoying they will be and believe me, you won’t stand a chance in that fight.

Ok, I know, we are not supposed to back-mouthing good people because they do good things more than us, but if they don’t know how to preserve good relationship with people around them, what’s the point of doing all those good deeds when they cant even honour the relationship with people? I must say those people are a jerk. I don’t know. Maybe we should let them read the whole books of inter and intra personal skill and only then they will become a better man? Perhaps..?

I am not to say I am perfect. Nor that people other than those kinds of people are perfect too. But what I am saying is, stop being a jerk. Just because they do many good deeds than many of us, the not-so-devoted-to-good-things people do, doesn’t make them any better than us. I mean, please being tolerable and please understand people. There are so many ways to approach people, different ways to correct people from their mistakes and most importantly, please know how to take a good care of other people’s feelings. It is okay if you want to be a heartless, but do keep this in mind, we have feelings too. Do not treat all people the same way you treat your best friends, your so manly-boyish-only-god-knows-how-strong-and-rough-and-tough-persons-you-are friends because they are not the same with people that have hearts.

You can ask people to do something but could you just ask it nicely? If you had done it nicely, without having to backfire people and impliedly being sarcastic, nothing will be wrong with you people. In fact, you guys will be great and perfect! But you people never learn anything from other people because you guys are selfish! You ignorant-big-headed people! And I must say, I don’t like this kind of people. You can hate me for what I’m doing but at least, I’m trying to improve myself. And whenever I tried to do nice things, you people discourage me with your screwed-up attitude that always think you are always right. And without being understanding, you guys annoy me. Yes, it’s becoming personal now.

What, people in my life didn’t know how things work? Like all people in your life are so perfect that you have rights to condemn other people? To the hell you can! Well, one thing for sure, my parents never taught me of being rude to other people, and always respect and accept people for what they are. You can have you heavenly-good family all the way you want, but other people have family too! You think your family always teaches you the most right things? Well, other people have it too! Differences in what other people have don’t give you a right to be judgmental and think the rest of them are worse. Different people have different value and perception. Can’t you just hold on to that? I can say that you have different things that you value, but I wont confront you like there is only one value exists in this life because I know whatever you have, whatever people think must be respected. And we can never ever question those values because in return, it will only hurt and offend them and this is where things come to worse.

Ok, getting back to the point, I know, there are right and wrong things. But I must say that it is time for you people to get out of your own cocoon and learn people’s more comforting way to handle human beings. You people need to know how to deal with living people and without having to annoy them, grow up and learn something from life. You guys are pathetic!

As I grow up, there are a lot of things that have taught me about life. Some of them teach me about responsibility and accountability, self-motivation and etc etc… Even better, the more we make a full use of those lessons, the better person we will be. It is just a matter of time. If we cannot make it right and prefer to be silent and a watcher instead of an actor, then we are at loss.

When we are in a foreign land, far, far away from our homeland, I have learnt that we must not in any way insult the foreign country. One thing for sure, we are already a foreigner and being a foreigner, insulting the country seems not to be a good idea. For instance, we have to admit that different country, different place, different land are all having different culture, tradition, and even food and cuisines. Doesn’t matter what are the dishes that they have every day and night, what are t heir activities in the day up to at night, as long as we are there, we must accept to learn and understand their way of life and respect them for what they do. I mean, as long as those behaviours are morally acceptable, I don’t think there is a reason to not to accept it.

I know that some people might say, we as a Malaysian must be proud of our country, and never to lose our identity as a Malaysian. Yes I get it. But it doesn’t mean you have to be proud all the time that you refused to acknowledge other people’s differences. I mean, as a student, that is the point the Government sending students abroad so that we are not only confined with so-called Malaysian way of life. Some people might have done so much better than us that we have never known about it.

Well, practically speaking, I do admit that the use of water in toilet is not Aussie’s way but Malaysians, well, considering the needs of Muslims for cleanliness. So, not having water pipe in toilets doesn’t give us a reason to condemn their way of life because if the cleanliness is the concern, there is always a way to use water, well at least sufficient enough for the needs of Muslims to clean themselves after toilet time. But do you know, even without the use of water in their toilets, their toilets are still smelt much less stinker that those we have in Malaysia? Even better, their floor is much cleaner and whiter than most of toilets in Malaysia. This made me wonder that even in the absence of water, in which we know it as a cleaning agent in cleanliness, they are still visitable. In fact, I think the use of water in Malaysia’s toilets is the factor why we have such a bad condition even for a public toilet. Or can I say, it is people’s mentality that makes it a difference? If that is so, which people seem to have a higher class of mentality? We should ask ourselves then.

That will be one of the examples that I can draw from my 4 months stay in this land. And the lesson I have learnt from it is the ability to accept people’s social state without being judgemental. We cant straight away jump to the conclusion that they are not civilised, not ethical, and many other things. And speaking of ethics, do you know that they will really stop their car at the zebra cross whenever there are pedestrian crossing over the streets? And even if there is no a zebra cross, they will still stop their vehicles and let the pedestrian go first? How’s that? Can we just compare it with our ethics back then in Malaysia? There is a huge gap I shall say.

Well, I am not to praise Aussie too much and back mouthing my own country. I never intend that. I just want to let you know that the value of respecting people and accepting people as what they are, are very important. Comparing and condemning are two different things though, and yet, we have to be careful with what we are saying because we will never know what are their feelings when they are in Malaysia. Could be even worse than we thought it was. So, learn, and adapt, and at the same time, stay Malaysian.
