i got this article from a yahoogroup forum. Do not where exactly they originally got this article from. read on peeps.

Di suatu pagi seorang guru bertanya kepada para muridnya.

Guru:"Mengapa ketika seorang sedang dalam keadaan marah, ia akan
berbicara dengan suara kuat atau berteriak?"

Murid:"Kerana saat seperti itu dia telah hilang sabar, kerana itu dia
berteriak."

Guru "Tapi...Lawan bicaranya itu tidak berada jauh dari situ, hanya
di sisinya sahaja. Mengapa harus berteriak? Apakah ia tidak dapat
berbicara baik-baik?"

Hampir semua murid memberikan sejumlah alasan yang pada perkiraan
mereka adalah logik. Namun tiada satu pun jawapan yang benar-benar
dapat memuaskan hati.

Guru: "Ketika dua orang sedang berada dalam situasi kemarahan, jarak
antara kedua-dua hati mereka menjadi amat jauh walau secara
fizikalnya mereka begitu dekat. Kerana itu, untuk mencapai jarak yang
demikian, mereka harus berteriak. Namun anehnya, semakin keras mereka
berteriak, semakin pula mereka menjadi marah dan dengan sendirinya
jarak hati yang ada diantara kedua-duanya pun menjadi lebih jauh
lagi. Kerana itu meraka terpaksa berteriak lebih keras lagi."

Guru menjelaskan dengan lebih lanjut: "Sebaliknya apa yang akan
terjadi ketika dua orang saling jatuh cinta? Mereka bukan hanya tidak
berteriak, namun ketika mereka berbicara sekalipun, suara yang keluar
dari mulutmereka begitu halus dan kecil. Sehalus apa pun, kedua-
duanya masih berupaya untuk saling mendengarkannya dengan begitu
jelas sekali.

Guru: Mengapa pula demikian?"

Murid: Mengapa? Tanya murid-murid mahukan kepastian

Guru:.."Kerana hati mereka begitu dekat, hati mereka tidak berjarak.
Pada akhirnya sepatah kata pun tidak perlu mereka ucaplan. Satu
pandangan mata sahaja amatlah cukup untuk membuatkan mereka memahami
apa yang ingin disampaikan."

Guru (Meneruskan): Ketika anda sedang dilanda kemarahan, janganlah
hatimu menciptakan jarak. Lebih lagi hendaknya kamu tidak mengucapkan
kata-kata yang mendatangkan jarak diantara kamu. Mungkin di saat
seperti itu, tidak mengucapkan kata-kata merupakan cara yang
bijaksana. Kerana waktu akan membantu anda."

Kita semua mempunyai jumlah waktu yang sama meskipun kemampuan yang
tidak sama. Tetapi orang yang menggunakan waktunya dengan lebih baik,
acapkali mengalahkan mereka yang mempunyai kemampuan yang lebih
banyak.

Professor at one of the IIM's (INDIA) was explaining marketing concepts to the Students: -

1. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: "I am
very rich. Marry me!" - That's Direct Marketing

2. You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl. One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you says: "He's very rich. Marry him." - That's Advertising

3 . You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day, you call and say: "Hi, I'm very rich. Marry me." - That's Telemarketing

4. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. You get up and straighten your tie, you walk up to her and pour her a drink, you open the door (of the car) for her, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her ride and then say: "By the way, I'm rich. Will you marry me?" - That's Public Relations

5. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. She walks up to you and says:
"You are very rich! Can you marry! Me?" - That's Brand Recognition

6. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: "I am very rich. Marry me!" She gives you a nice hard slap on your face. - That's Customer Feedback

7. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: "I am very rich. Marry me!" And she introduces you to her husband. - That's demand and supply gap

8. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say anything, another person comes and tells her: "I'm rich. Will you marry me?" and she goes with him - That's competition eating into your market share

9 . You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say: "I'm rich, Marry me!" Your wife arrives. - That's restriction from entering new markets

got nothing to do tonight. so i took this test, don't know how accurate it is.. but it is quite high for a person of my qualifications right? haha... and this test also says that i should be a mathematicians.. but as some of you might know, i hate math!!!

erm today i'm feeling very bored really, with tiresome legs... huhu, got myself a new bicycle today, been a long time since i ride a bicycle and quite kekok at first.. but i manage to ride from kg koh to manjung via pasir panjang (about 7-10km)... for a while just now, i can't feel my legs! (it is my first time since 5 years ok!!!) anyhow, this will be my new hobby, riding in the afternoon while listening to music.. tomorrow i will try to ride it to Lumut or Teluk Batik... mm, hopefully someday i can ride it to cameron.. <---seriously!



P.S: still wondering when can i start playing golf...

Downloaded this song today, heard of it before but never really get into the message given in the song.. well, i browse through adibah noor's website and discover this heart touching story about a mother who lost her 8-month old babygirl... hope all of you can spare some of your time to read it, truly it is a story that will make you cherish our life and treasure each moment that passes by..

i've posted a portion of the full story cause it is too long to post it here... so, read on people...


Ahad (24 November 2002 – Hari ke 11)
Mujur tidak lama selepas itu muncul Dr Abd. Halim…melihatkan pada keadaan Anis, dia lantas memanggil saya dan suami dekat dikepala Anis, dan meminta jururawat mengangkat Anis ke pangkuan saya untuk Anis menhabiskan hayatnya. Dan dengan perlahan-lahan Doktor mencabut satu persatu penyambung hayat Anis…. Saya peluk badan Anis, saya bisikkan ayat-ayat suci kepadanya. Saya katakan padanya yang…mama dan ayah redha dengan pemergian Anis….pergilah sayang…mama dan ayah relakan Anis pergi…pergilah dengan tenang Anis..jangan takut…Anis pergi dulu..nanti Anis tunggu mama, ayah Iky dan Ika diakhirat.Ketika monitor yang menunjukkan nyawa Anis hampir sampai keakhirnya, ayah saya iaitu datuk Anis baru tiba dari kg. Dan sebaik saja datuknay mengucupnya Anis Sabrina pun pegi dengan tenang menghadap ilahi…Saya masih tidak percaya yang Anis telah pergi…dan apabila saya melihat monitor …barulah saya pasti yang anak saya ANIS SABRINA telah kembali kepadanya dengan keadaan yang menyayat hati…INNALILLAHI WAINNALILLAH HIR RAJIUNNNNNN. Buat yang meyaksikan Anis Meghembuskan nafasnya, pasti tidak dapat menahan sebak…Selamat Anis….tenanglah Anis disana. Anis pergi dengan disaksikan ahli keluarga saya dan suami, datuknya, cik gee, cik som, cik lah, cik rin, cik mah…mak lang, mak ngah, pak ngah, cik wan, radzwan, cih shah, jururawat dan doktor yang ada disekeliling Anis. Anis pergi menghadap ilahi tepat pukul 6.30 petang dalam hujan renyai-renyai. Selamat Tinggal Anak Mama ANIS SABRINA. Mama sentiasa sayang dan mengingati Anis sehingga keakhir hayat mama…dan semoga kita dipertemukan disana. ANIS SABRINA tetap kekal dalam ingatan mama, ayah, Iky, Ika dan semua saudara mara. Mungkin ketika itu Anis telah mendapat ketenangan dan tidak merasakan kesakitan seperti sebelumnya. Ini dapat saya lihat dari keadaan wajah Anis yang cukup tenang, cantik dan teramat comel, berbeza sewaktu sedang tenat. Mungkin ini juga kerana saya telah merelakan dia pergi, kerana sebelum ini saya seperti tidak mahu kehilangannya, namun apabila difikirkan buat apa sya menyiksanya…dan saya bedoa semoga dipercepatkan masa untuk Anis bertemu penciptanya. Selamat tinggal anak mama…. Mungkin selama ini Anis menunggu keizinan dan kerelaan dari saya ibunya untuk meninggalkan dunia ini. Pergilah Anis………. (for the full story click here)

Your EQ is 133

50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick! 51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese. 71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely. 91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that. 111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt. 131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin. 150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar.

huhu.. actually i need to post this on my birthday, 1st of Feb.. but since i'm in KL and ain't got any time to post in this blog.. so, here i'm wishing my self HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY..Hope the coming years will be a cherishable and treasured every step of the way.. May Allah guide me to the right path... insyaAllah..

erm, since that day (my birthday) i have had three gatherings! first, my birthday celebration with my family at bagan lalang... haha... people say we will get there in 20 mins!! but hey, we got there in 1 hour 10mins!! maybe my abg ngah misheared that fella.. by the way, the place was quite fair, the food is great! the crab dish was awsome..

second gathering was with my friends from uniten... actually it was not planned at all, at first i just wanted to get arounf 5 peeps to lepaks2 somewhere.. but ended up with 20 people and having KFC at kajang... all this credit i have to give to apiis.. it was his sister's laptop, his handphone and my YM make it all happen... not forgetting the kajang boys (pejoe, pian, amir n nik) for setting up the place.. (sorry guys for the delay).. huhu.. anyhow, all when well and after that we go for a lepaking at putrajaya and as usual, the cekakians got gila2 photo... i got gila2 also at first but something else got in my mind.. sometimes, i think i'm to foolish to think about life and forget to live life itself...

third gathering was at my sis house at puncak perdana.... got lontong and nasik lemak.. my sister's in laws from kelantan are coming and my family also be there, and believe me, we are quite a bunch and thank God all of us was not there at once! kalau tak roboh rumah tu...isk2
