POTRET SEORANG LELAKI (Buat Dr M mungkin)

Aku menatap

potret seorang lelaki

yang setia pada kata

setia pada janjinya

dia pejuang

demi kebebasan

maruah bangsa tercinta

sepanjang usia

aku terkesan

lelaki di penghujung kembara

yang tidak sedia

berputus asa

dia pahlawan

sanggup lakukan apa sahaja

mempertahan watan

dia pemikir

yang menolak senjata

untuk ke meja diplomasi bicara

hatiku terusik

oleh pengorbanannya

menghabiskan sebahagian besar usia

hanya pada satu cita

yang belum mampu dimahkotakannya

di puncak jaya

Hakcipta Rohaizan Khamis.

JUJUR (Mood: Jiwang)

Jujur
by
Radja

Duhai kekasih pujaan hati ku
Dapat kah kau memberi ku satu arti
Sedikit rasa yang bisa ku mengerti
bukan sumpah atau janji

***
Bukti kan lah bila kau ada cinta
Setulus hati mu bisa memerima
Sebatas kejujuran yang kau miliki
Bukan sekedar bersama.....

Chorus:
Jujurlah padaku bila kau tak lagi cinta
Tinggalkankah aku bila tak mungkin bersama
jauhi diriku lupakanlah aku oh..oh..oh

Jujur lah padaku
Bila kau tak lagi suka
Tinggalkanlah aku bila tak mungkin bersama
Jauhi diriku lupakalah aku
selamanya....

ENGLISH OF TOMORROW (EU ANNOUNCEMENT)

ENGLISH OF TOMORROW (EU ANNOUNCEMENT)

The European Commission has just announced an
agreement whereby English
will be the official language of the European Union
rather than German,
which was the other possibility.


As part of the negotiations, the British Government
conceded that English
spelling had some room for improvement and has
accepted a 5- year phase-in
plan that would become known as "Euro-English".


In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c".
Sertainly, this will make
the sivil servants jump with joy.


The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This
should klear up
konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.


There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the
sekond year when the
troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This
will make words like
fotograf 20% shorter.


In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new
spelling kan be expekted to
reach the stage where more komplikated changes are
possible.


Governments will enkourage the removal of double
letters which have always
ben a deterent to akurate speling.


Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent
"e" in the languag is
disgrasful and it should go away.


By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such
as replasing "th" with
"z" and "w" with "v".


During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd
from vords kontaining
"ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil
sensi bl riten styl.


Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun
vil find it ezi tu
understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil
finali kum tru.


Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German
like zey vunted in ze
forst plas.

If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl.

Duduk Bercinta (Pantun)

Sekarang kakanda seorang diri,
Jauh kampung halaman negeri,
Duduk bercinta sehari-hari,
Kerja lain tidak dipikiri

Patah tumbuh, hilang berganti
Mana sama yang sudah biasa
Sakit sungguh memakan hati
Penawar cuma duduk bercinta

Lirik lagu Mohon Kasih (Ariff Ahmad)

Mohon Kasih
(Dinyanyikan semula oleh Siti Nurhaliza)

Ku bermohon kasih
Ku bermohon sayang
Pada mu wahai kumbang
Dalam rindu kasih
Hamba tak berdaya
Menempuh jiwa siksa
( 2X )

Kasihanilah hamba
Merayu sehingga merana
Wajah mu menawan
Hingga tertawan
Menjadi igauan
( 2X )

Hai muda bistari
Kumbang madah suci
Yang menawan hati
Hamba mohon kasih
Harapan nan bersih
Kupuja dikau saja
( 2X )

Kasihanilah hamba
Merindu balasan darimu
Hatiku tertawan
Tak dapat kutahan
Dikaulah idaman
( 2X )

Accident at BTS, Kuala Lumpur.

There was an accident at a flyover of Bandar Tasik Selatan between a motorcycle and a lorry.
Do we need to guess who will survive?
I don't think so.

Welcome to Malaysia, one of the countries with the highest fatal accident rate.

Rutin harian

Tidur pukul 3 pagi Bangun pukul 6 pagi. Tidur semula pukul 8 pagi. Bangun lagi pukul 12 tengahari. Masuk ofis pukul 3 petang. Keluar ofis pukul 1 pagi. Tiba di rumah pukul 2 pagi. Ulang baris pertama di atas untuk rutin harian lengkap hidup saya. Begitulah kitaran hidup, hari demi hari seterusnya...ulang lagi...dan lagi...dan lagi...dan lagi. Hari terus berlalu. Usia pun meningkat...hingga detik penghujung, tanpa tersedar, pada temujanji hakiki...

Job Safety in Malaysia

Interesting statistics on job safety in Malaysia.

Excerpt from The Star :

About 10,000 Malaysians, who use computers in their workplace, suffer upper limb injuries annually.
Socso statistics showed the number of cases involving injuries in the upper limb, especially fingers and hands, reached about 10,000 every year and the number of back injury cases at about 2,000. In response to this, the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (Niosh) proposed the need to apply ergonomics in workplaces.
.......
Ergonomics integrating knowledge, derived from human sciences to match jobs, systems, products and environment to the physical and mental abilities and limitations, was a relatively new field in Malaysia in comparison with advanced countries like Japan, the United States and Canada, he said in a statement.

Work counts for degree (OUM)

This is interesting. Excerpt from The Star : Beginning today, working people can use their employment experience to get into Open University Malaysia (OUM) to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in a discipline of their choice. Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Shafie Salleh said the move was aimed at giving people with vast work-related experience a chance to better themselves academically. .... However stringent standards would be applied to ensure that successful applicants fulfilled the requirements to complete their tertiary education, added Dr Shafie.

Mari Berpuisi (cubaan pertama)

PEMBACA TAK BERDERIA

dia membaca keluhan kita
lalu mentafsirkannya
mengikut acuannya

dia membaca
keresahan kita
dan membiarkannya
tanpa cuba memahaminya

sekian hari berlalu
memerangkap kita
di bawah ini
dengan sandiwara jijiknya
di atas sana

dia membaca
rungutan kita
tapi terus juga
melaksanakan
agenda peribadinya
merobek warisan bangsa
