efek rumah kaca

Tipu la kalau kata you suami isteri takder gaduh-gaduh.  Lumrah manusia kan, mesti ada benda yang tak puashati ngan suami/isteri kita.  Robot jer tak tau gaduh-gaduh ni sebab takder perasaan.  So sempena hari baik bulan baik ni marilah kita renungkan bersama-sama cerita ni.

Untuk Suami Isteri Yang Selalu Bergaduh

Sepasang suami isteri yang sudah menikah selama 7 tahun dan memiliki  3 orang anak,terlibat dalam sebuah pertengkaran hebat. Begitu hebatnya pertengkaran mereka, sampai akhirnya mereka  memutuskan untuk bercerai, mengakhiri kehidupan rumah tangga mereka secepat mungkin.

Mereka menemui seorang peguam, untuk melangsungkan perundingan pembahagian harta sepencarian di antara mereka, perundingan berlangsung lancar dan akhirnya sebahagian besar masalah dapat diselesaikan, baik tanah, rumah, dan semua asset harta mereka dapat dibahagi dan mencapai kepuasan kedua  belah pihak. Hanya satu hal tidak ditemukan jalan keluarnya, yaitu mengenai pembahagian anak [jangan lupa anak mereka tiga orang].  Baik si suami maupun si isteri, sama sama ingin mengasuh 2 anak, tidak ada yang mau mengalah, dan anak tidak mungkin dibelah dua seperti pada Zaman Nabi Sulaiman a.s. dulu.  Akhirnya mereka menemui seorang tokoh agama, meminta nasihat bagaimana jalan keluar yang harus ditempuh.

Sang Imam akhirnya memberikan jalan keluar yang bijak, iaitu mereka diminta menunda perceraiannya selama satu tahun, mereka harus menambah satu orang anak selama satu tahun, bila Tuhan mengizinkan perceraian mereka, Tuhan akan memberikan tambahan satu anak, total menjadi 4 anak, sehingga mudah untuk dibahagi di antara mereka berdua.
Kerana si suami dan si isteri sangat serius untuk bercerai, mereka mengambil keputusan berusaha keras untuk menambah anak, dan akhirnya mereka berhasil.
Setahun kemudian, ketika Sang Imam berjalan jalan, beliau bertemu dengan pasangan suami isteri ini, sedang bergandingan tangan dengan mesra, sehingga Sang Imam bertanya, :
“Apakah Kalian tidak berhasil menambah anak sehingga kalian batal bercerai?”.
Sang Suami lalu menjawab : “Tuhan maha pengasih, Dia memberikan kami tambahan anak, tapi sekaligus juga memberikan isyarat agar kami saling memaafkan dan saling mengasihi, kami memutuskan untuk tidak bercerai”.

“Bagaimana Tuhan memberikan isyaratNya?” , tanya Sang Imam. “Tuhan memberikan kami tambahan anak, bukan satu anak, tapi dua anak,anak kembar!!”.


Beberapa hikmah:

1. Menunda tindakan negatif sering bermanfaat, apalagi ketika seseorang sedang dikuasai emosi. Ada baiknya jika kita sedang marah kita menunda sesuatu yang ingin kita lakukan. Betapa
banyak penghuni penjara yang menyesal: mengapa ketika marah memukuli isteri/anak/ dsb sampai tewas….

2. Mampu mengendalikan marah [emosi] adalah kunci kebaikan, sehingga nabi saw menekankan  laa taghdhab  [jangan marah] kepada sahabatnya.

3. Kisah diatas menunjukkan kasih sayang Allah, tetapi ada yang lebih baik daripada kisah di atas yaitu pasangan suami isteri yang selalu berhasil meredam pertengkaran mereka. Mungkin keluar rumah meninggalkan isteri/suami yang marah untuk sebentar kemudian kembali membawa buah tangan/peralatan baru kesukaannya akan membuatnya tersenyum, meminta maaf dan berfikir betapa baiknya suaminya/isterinya.

4. Pertengkaran itu lumrah rumah tangga. Dengan pertengkaranlah membuat keharmonian semakin terasa nikmat.   Orang bijaksana akan menikmati pertengkaran dan masa-masa setelahnya dengan tetap mengendalikan suasana agar tidak sampai keluar dari sunnah Nabi saw. Karena pertengkaran itu seperti api: sedikitnya bermanfaat tetapi besar dan luasnya membinasakan.

So amacam geng? Rasa-rasanya nak gaduh lagi tak? Kesimpulannya, bertengkar kecil-kecilan tu tak salah, bermanfaat dan kalau nak tau, ia boleh mengeratkan lagi hubungan sebab kita dah tau apa kekurangan dan kelebihan masing-masing masa dalam tempoh gaduh tu. And pastu macam tak nak la buat lagi, tak gitu dik non? Eh akak ni baru setahun jagung kawin dah nak nasihat orang kan, tapi takper, itu namanya berkongsi.

Ok, selamat berbuka puasa, and kalau pergi pasar ramadhan karang, jangan la berhabis-habisan sangat.  Bukannya sedap sangat pun juadah tu.  Ada yang sengaja nak ambik kesempatan nak mengaut keuntungan masa bulan puasa nak berniaga.  Lagi seminggu nak puasa, baru nak belajar buat mi rebus, kuih kole kacang, kuih bahulu kemboja dah sebagainya.  Tapi rasanya, ya Rabbi, ada ker buat kuih bahulu kemboja taruk buah pelaga, mana punya chef dia belajar ntah.  Takder jiwa langsung memasak.  Niat nak untung jer.  Masak seribu tahun pun takkan sedap.  Yang penting nawaitu. Tak boleh la gitu kan… RM3.50 pun duit jugak.  So, jom la masak sambal tumis simple-simple jer, sayur campak2 sendiri yang dah tentu jimat kos dan BERSIH. Wassalam.

So last Sunday, Umar woke up from his sleep and asked us to take him to ‘mandi sungai’.  It just popped out from his mouth and I’m sure ‘somebody’ has promised him to take him to the river somehow somewhen.  So off we went armored with nasi and ayam goreng sambal to our little getaway in Sungai Congkak, in Hulu Langat.  Umar had been asking “are we there yet?” every 15 kilometres of the journey repeatedly.

But don’t be fooled with the summery hot scorching weather last Sunday.  When I was about to senduk the nasik into the pinggan, the rain started to pour heavily without warning.  So we ended up having a little picnic in a car with oily stain all over the interior of the car as the boys having a goreng cempedak inside, waiting for the rain to go away.  I suggested my husband to take Umar for a quick skinny dipping (yes.. literally..for Umar la…) and then we can head home and have a peaceful Sunday evening at home.  Next thing I know, he was screaming like mad when my hubby soaked him in the river, begging to take him out of the water.  So much for the 2 year old plus toddler’s enthusiasm of mandi sungai after all.

“Aku kerek tawu?…tawu?..tawu?..”(Sekadar gambar hiasan)


So once again don’t be fooled with your kid’s purak-purak excitement because they just want to get your lazy bum outta the house on lazy Sunday afternoon.

And finally we ended up makan nasi di rumah juga adanya…(eh ayat ni macam penah dengar la…)

Cakap banyak pun tak guna kan..baca review banyak-banyak kat suratkabar pun tak guna jugak, luahan hati mat rock sejati jer boleh menggambarkan kehampaan dan kepiluan rockers-rockers Mesia ni. Rock kapak, rock kapak jugak, tapi balik rumah cari nasik adanya. (klik juga di sini untuk sambungan ulasan)

Today marked another year of our marriage. Those who say sunshine brings happiness have never danced in a rain.  Sometimes I love him, sometimes I hate him, sometimes I nosebleed karate meja kalau marah.  Bah, I love you to bits. Hugs.

Pagi tadi bangun tidur rambut saya macam okay bila lepas sikat sebab fringe saya macam dah panjang dan dah tak macam cekodok lagi dan lepas mandi cepat-cepat ambik kamera tangkap gambar nak bubuh dalam belog. Ali di dalam gambar itu hanyalah alasan sahaja supaya saya tak nampak desperate camwhoring sorang-sorang. Lagipun dia pagi-pagi dah bangun sebab Kaka bising mintak makan. Ali bangun terus ambik cawan plastik atas meja bagi Kaka konon-kononnya nak bagi Kaka tu makan. Sungguh comel bukan gelagatnya?

Ni pulak hasil karya sulung anak sulung saya, berumur 2 tahun 7 bulan yang dilukis semalam. Menurut pelukis, ini adalah hasil gabungan imej pelbagai seperti Ultraman, raksasa, Ceplos dah pokok-pokok serta awan menggunakan water color, jari dan berus gigi (berus gigi terpaksa dirampas separuh masa sebab pelukis tenyeh berus gigi atas drawing block sampai nak terkoyak).

Pelukis bersama hasil karyanya.


Okay, babai. Saya hanya nak blog pasal rambut saya jer sebenarnya.

My oldest talented friend (not age, time, ok) Emila is finally opened her own online shop, Emila’s Lilshop that sells items such as greeting and note cards, paintings, prints and I’m sure she’ll be adding more of her handwork crafts soon when she has the time to do that (or have found a local supplies?).  Actually, she also sells her items at Greeting Cards Universe, Zazzle and Imagekind but this Lilshop is specially caters to Malaysian address as the mode of payment as easy as ABC where buyers will get  to pay their purchases with Maybank2U and Paypal.

Take a peek at her shop and see anything you like (note: she does everything from scratch, the set up of the website, all illustrations, paintings, prints are all are her work, just in case :P)

To Emila, you go girl!!

1) My little Ali is down with fever.  Kesian. Been shoved 2 suppositories up in him as his temperature been turun and naik like mad. I came to office with hesitation but I did come anyway.  Menyesal giler sebab aku tak ambik MC terus semalam untuk hari ni.  Cheh!! Budus sombong jugak aku ni! (amaran: aku sendiri jer yang boleh panggil aku budus sombong, ok)

2) Whats with the Manohar@’s case?  From the beginning I can smell something fishy.  Contoh bengong yang aku rasa aku sorang jer perasaan atau orang lain pun perasan gak, tapi macam ntah apa-apa kalau nak argue is, kalau kehidupan terdera dan diugut dan macam-macam lagi, badan dia naik weh, macam orang happy, tak cayer compare ler gambar-gambar lama dia kalau takder keje nak buat.  Okay maybe some of you will say that orang yang susah hati pun kuat makan, but just look at her happy face.  Tapi aku percaya dia fesyennya adalah orang yang kalau senang hati, dia kuat makan.  (aku ni memandaikan? Laki aku mesti marah aku sebok pasal Manohara ni, takder keroje dia kata..ala daripada masuk YouTube sehari suntuk..).  RM1 juta bersamaan dengan 2,871,640,000.00 Rupiah. Sekian terima kasih.

3) I’m currently reading one book, halfway through, aku rasa aku pernah baca buku tu..hehehe? Boleh…Dah separuh plak tu!! (Perhatian: Saya pun baca chic lit.  Chic lit rules.  Ia mengendurkan segala saraf badan dan otak selepas seharian bergaduh dengan anak-anak dan bos)

4) Pasal makan jangan mention la..malas la nak cerita.  Daily mental timetable aku penuh dengan menu untuk hari ini..See, masa taip ni pun aku dapat idea untuk menu esok.

5) Hey I’m due for MGTT test (please laugh) tomorrow as I have a history of having 4.07kg baby.  I told them it was just nasik lemak and ice water that time and the test won’t be necessary but they didn’t buy it.  Still need to go.  Disyaki diabetic, puan-puan.

"Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who treat you right, forgive the ones who don’t, and believe that everything happens for a reason."

“Unknown”

Don’t you think it’s a long version of word ‘redha’? Like my mom always reminds me?

Twenty-four year old Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, a well-known English poet, traveled to Turkey with her husband in 1712 when he became the British ambassador. Lady Mary noticed that native populations in Turkey didn’t suffered from smallpox, the dread disease that had left her scarred and pockmarked and that killed tens of thousands in England each year.

She soon learned that elderly tribal women performed what was called “ingrafting”. Previous British travelers had dismissed the practice as a meaningless tribal ritual. Lady Mary suspected that this annual event held the secret to their immunity from smallpox. Village families would decide if anyone in the family should have smallpox that year. An old woman arrived carrying a nutshell full of infected liquid. She would open one of the volunteer’s vein with a needle dipped in the liquid, as the family sang and chanted. The infected person stayed in bed for two to three days with a mild fever and a slight rash. He or she was then as well as before, never getting a serious case smallpox.

Mary wondered if English populations could be protected by ingrafting. Upon her return to England in 1713, Lady Mary lectured about the potential of ingrafting. She was dismissed as an untrained and silly woman. In early 1714, Caroline, Princess of Wales, heard one of Lady Mary’s talks and approved Lady Mary’s ingrafting of convicts and orphans. Lady Mary collected the puss from smallpox blisters of sick patients and injected small amounts of the deadly liquid into her test subjects. The death rate of those she inoculated was less that one-third that of the general public, and five times as many of her subjects got mild, non-scarring cases. However, there was a problem with ingrafting. Inoculations with live smallpox viruses were dangerous. Some patients died from the injections that were supposed to protect them.

Enter Edward Jenner, a young English surgeon, in 1794. Living in a rural community, Jenner noticed that milkmaids almost never got smallpox. However, virtually all milkmaids did get a cowpox, a disease that caused mild blistering on their hands. Jenner theorized that cowpox must be in the same family as smallpox and that getting mild cowpox was like ingrafting and made a person immune to the deadly smallpox. He tested his theory by injecting 20 children with liquid taken from the blisters of a milkmaid with cowpox. Each infected child got cowpox. Painful blisters formed on their hands and arms, lasting several days.

Two months later, Jenner injected live smallpox into each of his test children. If Jenner’s theory was wrong, many of these children would die. However, none of his test children showed any sign of smallpox. Jenner invented the word “vaccination” to describe his process when he announced his results in 1798. Vacca is the Latin word for cow; vaccinia is Latin for cowpox.

***********

Very interesting story to me. They actually implanted the virus to their bodies. Crazy or not. Human guinea pigs lagi. Tengok, orang dulu-dulu tak sekolah pun panjang akal fikirkan invention yang memberi sumbangan besar pada tamadun. Orang sekarang sekolah jer tinggi, tapi tak pakai otak parking kete macam jalan bapak diaorang. Ok la…tak marah kat sapa-sapa pun, sajer jer.. Babai.

Ini la kakak Mary

Abang Edward
