'When I Hate it, I Hate it'


Hate is an emotion, ignited by our perspective over the particular person/stuff/situation. The opposite to hate is love, tho the degree of both feelings cant be measured. Hate can be influenced by the perception of good or bad, right or wrong. appropriate or non-appropriate. To be simple, it's about you see things laa. If you see a dog, an ur like d uneducated Muslim one.. you'll be hating the dog like hell since u think. 'I cannot touch it, I cannot eat it as what's said in the Qoran.. so I shud hate it' sambil baling2 batu lagi.. and when you see other Muslims melayan that anjing, you hate that brother/sister as well.

as to the ironic, God never ask us to that dog. we're just forbidden to eat it for some particular reason - health, too cute to be eaten, etc - and even we know one old story on how a prostitute is granted to be in heaven coz she gave a dehydrated dog some drinks. (Wallahualam~)

Who can hate these cute creatures? Kan Reza kan?

Menyimpang jap, come to think of it.. bygkan if we can eat dog. They'll be no watch dog.. or tracking dog.. or dogs that assist the blinds coz we r busy eating them. :P

anywayyyy.. back to the story about hate. Hate is not a feeling encouraged by anybody. but the feeling of hate is satisfying. you can notice sumone who seems emotionless, can be so passionate when talking bout sumone/sumthing that he or she hates. but yeah, the one problem with hate is, it blurs the line of fair judgement. never.. u can never get a fair judgement actually coz hate is a feeling - just like love - that can make anybody be bias in their judgement.

as example.. just because one old day, you bought a Gucci handbag, paid high-price wit expectation u can show it off to ur frens. and then, when at the hang out spot with your girlfriends.. busy showing off how 'the bag so quality one.. the leather is so shining... u see ah.. the zip can open 3 ways' SNAP.. the zip suddenly koyak! From that moment of embarassment, u swear never to buy Gucci and u hate the brand. after several months.. ur fren asked u.. 'hey, i wanna buy a clutch, which brand is good eyh?'

trust me... the 1st sentence coming out from ur mouth wud be, 'Never ever Gucci!' while swaying your middle.. oops.. ur index finger~

that's how it goes. for other ppl who had never had ur experience ur experience.. they'll keep on liking Gucci and keep on spending. That's how we roll! hikhik

Back to fair judgment. I believe that how much hates that you have in your heart, it shud never interfere with ur ability to see things in a clear perspective and the right dimension. You can always use your hate as an opinion, but never as your principle. instead of 'never ever Gucci' the fashionista above can always said 'I used to buy Gucci, but one gloomy, sad, dissapointing, hell of a day changed my perspective. However, I wont stop you. U shud go and survey 1st'

One nice Gucci bag~

see? It's all about the choice of words.. hikhik. no laa.. it's about how you still having the hate, but you can still manage to be reasonable.

a lil pinch of politics.. i know this is old, but yeah.. Anwar vs. Shabery had been a very hot debate. I havent watched em in 'action' yet, but hearing the stories from most of my frens.. all of them were like 'Shabery soo bodoh..' 'Shabery so lame' 'Anuar so cool, so handsome' 'Anuar's like our saviour' all that stufss.. u know...

but then.. it's so refreshing when one day Cana, Firin n I were heading to Old Town White Coffee, n Firin started talking bout that.. Firin said, 'yeah, I know that Shabery's answers are menyimpang and all, plus he seems to give a lot of personal attacks to Anwar.. but come to think of it, it's true what he said. Just because we're not satisfied with the government, we shudnt go demonstrate and do chaos'

finally.. a fair judgement bebeh!

World Peace: A Dream?

smlm slps pulang dr Ipoh dgn Yas n Jigo.. aku akhirnya dpt meluangkan masa lebeyh lama dgn Ancalime.. yerp.. Ancalime dgn aku mmg dah lama saling rindu merindui untuk bersama2.. tp sbb keketatan jadual idup aku.. ini rr baru kitorg dpt spend masa lama sket. So.. aku pun donlod 'Harold & Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay' dan mula menontonnya di Ancalime. Oh.. Ancalime ni nama laptop aku.


Anyway... oklaa cerita Harold n Kumar yg 2nd ni. aku xde rr happy sgt dgn lwk2 dia yg kdg2 keterlaluan.. tapi aku suka part2 romantik dlm cerita ni yg x disangka2 mcm ending dia waktu Kumar bacakan sajak matematik kpd ex-gf dia.. mmg syahdu. fresh terus mood aku pas da ngantuk2 tgk muvi yg agak pjg gak ni. Aku gak suka ending acts derg yg kat amsterdam tu. seronok tgk org bercuti kat oversea kot.. uuu tp dialog feveret aku ialah waktu derg kat atas kapal terbang askar tu..

mamat jahat: Haa... where's ur Qoran to help you (sumthing like dat laa)

Kumar: Qoran? We're not Muslims. And if we were, it doesnt mean that we are terrorist!

after tgk Harold n Kumar... aku yg mmg sgt2 kepenatan ni pun tido rr. dan sepanjang ketiduran aku tu.. aku tlh mendpt mimpi yg sgt pjg. ceritanya bermula begini...

konon-kononnya.. aku ini seorang ahli underground yg memperjuangkan kemerdekaan slh sebuah negara di Afrika. Setiap hari, aku n memember lain akan bertemu kat garaj bangunan mana ntah.. n akan buat pelan kitorg. sape presidential candidate yg kitorg nk keutarakan, dan mcm2 lagi laa.. (tp aku x igt samada kitorg ade wat pelan membunuh ke)

actually.. security kat situ sgt ketat.. smpykan each one of us ada identiti palsu utk keselamatan kitorg. sbb klu ada intruders di antara kitorg.. akan ada laa guards yg akan wipe them off. aku igt lg.. dlm satu miting tu.. x silap aku, aku jumpa dgn Osama bin Laden.. n then we had a chat. waktu tu, aku tetiba jek nk bukak wallet aku n susun duit aku yg bersepah2. pastu Osama tgk aku ada bnyk curency luar negara.


Dia tanya rr.. 'Do you like to travel?'

aku jwb.. 'No.. I got these notes from my frens who went oversea'

pastu Obama senyum n ckp 'I shud do like you. considering how I coudnt move freely anymore'

hehehehhe...

n then.. kemuncaknya adlh pd mlm announcement kemenangan parti mana dlm pilihan raya tu. Perlu diingatkan.. pakatan aku td, kitorg sebenarnya bknnya menyokong any particular party.. kami just mahukan pilihan raya yg adil.. dan keamanan pilihan raya.. di samping menyokong perpaduan etnik di sebalik perang pilihan raya tu. dan, bler speaker dewan tu announcekan party mana yg mng ntah. (Keep Up kot x silap aku nama party yg mng tu.. huhu).. semua org bersorak riang gembira termasuklah party yg klh tu.. semua org saling berpelukan n mengalirkan air mata kegembiraan.. mungkin meraikan demokrasi kot...

aku pun tak ketinggalan.. bersorak gak atas usaha aku selama ni. n then, to my surprise.. rupa2 rupanya Oprah Winfrey duduk dpn aku.. kitorg saling berpelukan n waktu tu gak aku rasa lagik sebak. n then.. lagi best.. kat blkg aku, aku nmpk Mr. Nelson Mandela tgh duduk kat kerusi di belakang dewan. aku cpt2 pegi kat dia n peluk dia jugak.. tokoh keamanan tu! waktu tu.. mmg aku menangis kegembiraan rr.. n tetiba jek.


aku tersedar dr tidur.. dgn mata yg bergenang.. huhu~

itulah.. aku nk sgt tgk world peace kot.. tapi mungkin ke dlm mimpi aku jek???

World peace

Patriotism (tribute to Dr. Jubair)

patriotism merupakan satu yg subjektif sbnrnya.. tp klu yg cliche itu, patriotism adlh rasa cinta yg mendalam kpd negara kita sehingga dan kita akan berusaha utk mempertahankan kedaulatannya.

patriotism ini mmg sgt di-urge kan oleh kerajaan kita.. tgklaa.. bermcm2 program yg dilaksanakan oleh kerajaan kita demi memupuk perasaan cinta kpd negara.. Kem Khidmat Negara laa, Kem BTN laa.. dan juga pelbagai iklan2 khidmat masyarakat (esp. from Petronas) yang menyentuh jiwa nuraga kita supaya mempunyai rasa kasih dan syg kpd Malaysia yang tercinta ini.

permasalahannya.. ramai org hanya melihat patriotism ini pada satu sudut jek. Patriotism itu tidak hanya dimiliki oleh askar, polis atau pasukan pertahanan sajek. Kita sebagai pelajar jugak sbnrnya memegang tanggungjwb ini jugak. kesedaran yang masa dpn negara kita bergantung di bahu kita.

Actually. lecturer Software Engineering aku. Dr. Jubair lah yang membuat aku terinspired nk menulis topik ni. sbb aku perasan, Dr. Jubair yang berasal dari Iraq ni sgt2 laa mempunyai patriotism yang sgt tggi. bkn hanya terhadap negara dia sndr.. tetapi utk Malaysia jugak.

Dr. Jubair Al Jaafar

dah 2 lectures aku dgn dia.. n dia x berhenti2 menasihatkan kitorg supaya menghormati negara kita.. dan seharusnya kitorg stadi hard utk serve negara kita supaya negara kita terjamin masa dpnnya apabila di-lead oleh rakyatnya sndr. Dr. Jubair gak tak henti2 ckp kat kitorg.. klu negara kita bergantung kpd kepakaran & peralatan2 dr luar (USA mainly..), apabila one day they cut the ties with us.. consequences nya akan menjadi sgt brt pd negara kita n seterusnya menjatuhkan ekonomi kita. so, dia kata.. klu kita sbg pljr mempunyai kepakaran2 itu sndr.. M'sia x perlu nk bergantung kpd org laen therefore.. kedaulatan ngr kita akan terjamin~

Dr. Jubair jugak ada ckp ttg dia yg dah travel bnyk tempat.. Britain, Jepun. Ang then dia settle down di Malaysia. One time, one of his colleague, a British woman.. tanya kat dia.. "Why are you staying in Malaysia? Why don't u just stay in Britain?"

Dr. Jubair just jwb...

"Malaysia is a safe country. I feel safe. I'm lucky to be in Malaysia."

ada dlm satu lecture.. Dr. Jubair ckp "U shud respect the flag!!" yg membuatkan beberapa kwn2 aku terbimbo jap apabila mendgr saranan dia tu. kemudian dia smbung..

"U shud respect the flag of Malaysia. I respect the flag coz I work for Petronas which serves the country,Malaysia. If you don't wanna respect me, than that's OK. but respect the flag.. respect your country..."

McD oh McD~

(true story of a fast-food lover)

Kaedahnya.. hahahaa.. aku, jigo, yas n reza ke Mcd semalam stlh lama tidak melepak dan mengumpat bersama. Mmg aktiviti utama iaitu mengumpat tlh dijalankan dgn jayanya spjg perjalanan pergi, semasa dan balik dr Mcd.

Berikut merupakan antara isi penting perbualan kami...

Yas: Aku tak puas hati laa dgn org yg tak puas hati psl grup Robocon aku.

Reza: Cara meningkatkan prestasi akademik.

Jigo: Nk jumpa lecturer selalu (cheewahhh) dan aku dah xde rumet so skrg dok ngan mier

Aku: Nk buat PR bila intern nanti...

dan juga beberapa isu mengenai ETP.. intern.. dan pelbagai yg laen2 juga. Kami jugak memberikan pep talk kepada Reza ibarat seorang coach bola (Yas), pakar motivasi (aku) dan pakar pemakanan (jigo).. hikhik. oh.. ckp psl coach bola.. ade promotion coaching class yg ditampal.. aku n jigo nmpk posternya.. ok gak ni.. leh laa aku join n menjadik manager pasukan bola.. keskes

wlupun aku sepatutnya ke kelas lapan pagi hari ni.. tp kitorg tetap menten melepak smpy kul 2 pagi sebelom berangkat pulang... n bler nk blk tu aku da rasa x sdp perut.

dan pada pagi ni.. aku ada kelas corporate communication di mana aku perlu menyemat2 memakai pakaian formal. sampai2 saja kat kelas.. lecturer x dtg plak.. n then perut aku plak da meragam... ahhhh.. ni laa permasalahannya.

setiap kali aku mkn mcd waktu tgh2 mlm.. mesti aku akan merasa panas2 bdn bler tdo and perut aku akan meragam disertai dgn constant visit ke tandas. dis is no good.. lgpun, dlm dokumentari supersize me tu pun dah ditunjukkan simptom2 ni oleh Morgan Spurlock tu. so, ape mslhnya? mungkinkah mknn McD tidak patut dinikmati sewaktu tgh mlm? Adakah ini semua kerana kelemahan perut ku sndr.. adakah ini satu anjakan yg perlu aku amek iaitu tidak ke Mcd tgh2 mlm lagi?

ini semua satu tanda tanya yg amat sukar.. saya mengundur diri dahulu...
(tetiba jek mood serius)
