I dont care anymore what you think

In Islamic teaching family ties were not to be severed eventhough they are embracing a different religion. What ever happened to good old Christian teachings? I don't recalled reading or learning on ditching your other family members when they have chose or want to embraced Islam. If they were to embraced Buddhism or Hinduism, if ok but NOT Islam. Probably, they will have a celebration for you if you want to Buddhism or Hinduism. Whats the story, morning  glory? Whats so bad about Islam? Islam teaches to do the Good and NOT the Bad. All this US and Malaysia's media propaganda have mislead you all. Please read the correct media, you are an intelligent lot but you act like not.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the memories and sorry for causing this pain.

But I dont really care what you think or say anymore because its my LIFE and I do what I want and because I have faith in Allah.

May Allah have mercy on you.

Are you talking about me?

The internet has given us so many access to information. Some may be of use and some may not. When the fb mania break loose few years ago, we were addicted in adding people to our contact list so that we could be in touch and probably to see who has the most number of people we know. But after a while, the novelty wore off and we started to lose count, respond slowly to the 'add' request and started to be more selective in adding and requesting for add. All this because, people has started to be nasty and the world wide web has prove its cons and privacy has been breached. Lots of nasty and bitchy statements started to popped up. The friends that you thought were one, proved were not. After all these years, after all the helps that was extended. I have kept my silence all this while but enough is enough. Dr M once quoted "Melayu mudah lupa".

Well, if you feel like you dont want to have my name in your contact list, just because we have the same set of friends, please do yourself a favour, dont be a hypocrite.  Maybe I should be the one to unadd you first, hmmm

Go ahead and delete. See if I care.
I am at peace.

Good Life starts only when you stop wanting a better one

A friend sent me this recently, like it so much and wanted to share it with you......


TRUST is a very important factor for all relationships. When trust is broken, it is the end of the relationship. Lack of trust leads to suspicion, suspicion generates anger, anger causes enmity and enmity may result in separation.


A telephone operator told me that one day she received a phone call. She answered, 'Public Utilities Board.' There was silence. She repeated, 'PUB.' There was still no answer. When she was going to cut off the line, she Heard a lady's voice, 'Oh, so this is PUB. Sorry, I got the number from my Husband's pocket but I do not know whose number it is.'

Without mutual trust, just imagine what will happen to the couple if the telephone operator answered with just 'hello' instead of 'PUB'.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

NO POINTING FINGERS

A man asked his father-in-law, 'Many people praised you for a successful marriage. Could you please share with me your secret?'

The father-in-law answered in a smile, 'Never criticize your wife for her shortcomings or when she does something wrong. Always bear in mind that because of her shortcomings and weaknesses, she could not find a better husband than you.'

We all look forward to being loved and respected. Many people are afraid of losing face. Generally, when a person makes a mistake, he would look around to find a scapegoat to point the finger at. This is the start of a war. We should always remember that when we point one finger at a person, the other four fingers are pointing at ourselves.

If we forgive the others, others will ignore our mistake too.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------



CREATING PERFECT RELATIONSHIPS?

A person visited the government matchmaker for marriage, SDU, and requested 'I am looking for a spouse. Please help me to find a suitable one.' The SDU officer said, 'Your requirements, please.' 'Oh, good looking, polite, humorous , sporty, knowledgeable, good in singing and dancing. Willing to accompany me the whole day at home during my leisure hour, if I don't go out. Telling me interesting stories when I need companion for conversation and be silent when I want to rest.' The officer listened carefully and replied, 'I understand you need television.'

There is a saying that a perfect match can only be found between a blind wife and a deaf husband, because the blind wife cannot see the faults of the husband and the deaf husband cannot hear the nagging of the wife. Many couples are blind and deaf at the courting stage and dream of perpetual perfect relationship. Unfortunately, when the excitement of love wears off, they wake up a nd discover that marriage is not a bed of roses. The nightmare begins.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------


NO OVERPOWERING

Many relationships fail because one party tries to overpower another, or demands too much. People in love tend to think that love will conquer all and their spouses will change the bad habits after marriage. Actually, this is not the case. There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that 'It is easier to reshape a mountain or a river than a person's character.'

It is not easy to change. Thus, having high expectation on changing the spouse character will cause disappointment and unpleasantness.

It would be less painful to change ourselves and lower our expectations..


----------------------------------------------------------------------------


RIGHT SPEECH

There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that 'A speech will either prosper or ruin a nation.' Many relationships break off because of wrong speech. When a couple is too close with each other, we always forget mutual respect and courtesy. We may say anything without considering if it would hurt the other party.

A friend and her millionaire husband visited their construction site. A worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted, 'Hi, Emily! Remember me? We used to date in the secondary school.' On the way home, her millionaire husband teased her, 'Luckily you married me. Otherwise you will be the wife of a construction worker.' She answered,'You should appreciate that you married me. Other wise, he will be the millionaire and not you.'

Frequently exchanging these remarks plants the seed for a bad relationship. It's like a broken egg - cannot be reversed.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------


PERSONAL PERCEPTION

Different people have different perception. One man's meat could be another man's poison. A couple bought a donkey from the market. On the way home, a boy commented, 'Very stupid. Why neither of them ride on the donkey? 'Upon hearing that, the husband let the wife ride on the donkey. He walked besides them. Later, an old man saw it and commented, 'The husband is the head of family. How can the wife ride on the donkey while the husband is on foot?' Hearing this, the wife quickly got down and let the husband ride on the donkey.

Further on the way home, they met an old Lady. She commented, 'How can the man ride on the donkey but let the wife walk. He is no gentleman.'

The husband thus quickly asked the wife to join him on the donkey. Then, they met a young man. He commented, 'Poor donkey, how can you hold up the weight of two persons. They are cruel to you.' Hearing that, the husband and wife immediately climbed down from the donkey and carried it on their shoulders.

It seems to be the only choice left. Later, on a nar row bridge, the donkey was frightened and struggled. They lost their balance and fell into the river. You can never have everyone praise you, nor will everyone condemn you. Never in the past, not at present, and never will be in the future.

Thus, do not be too bothered by others words if our conscience is clear..


-------------------------------------------------------------------------


BE PATIENT

This is a true story which happened in the States. A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp as punishment. When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital.

Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy woke up from the surgery & saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, 'Daddy, I'm sorry about your truck.' Then he asked, 'but when are my fingers going to grow back?' The father went home & committed suicide.

Think about this story the next time someone steps on your feet or u wish to take revenge. Think first before u lose your patience with someone u love. Trucks can be repaired.. Broken bones & hurt feelings often can't. Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge.

People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.

Bloom

Have you ever seen an aloe vera in bloom? I havent. So when Hubby told me last week that the aloe vera is blooming, I was confused. Aik, really kah this? I thought aloe vera tak berbunga. So, I call up my mom:

Me: "Mak, itu aloe vera berbunga"
Mom: "Bah, bagus tu. Ada nasib. Pi tinguk sana pokok dia kalau ko ada nampak number."
Me : "How to tinguk??"
Mom: "Ko tinguk lah lama lama mcm tinguk itu ikan ariwana!!!"

Siapa mau minta number???Muakakakaka

Apparently, aloe vera do flower but rarely.



       
The flowers

Up close
