ESQ

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 14:53:51 +0800

Agree!!..but have u ever heard about ESQ? im not sure whether it takes such this approach too to create remorse. (i dont think so).I think these days the organizer should find a better method to approach even school students

I’ve heard of ESQ. A friend of mine even gifted me with the book. Mighty thick I might add. I am still in the process of reading it.

But I’ve never been to any of the ESQ courses, though from what I have heard, people are raving about it. The trouble with me is that I tend to be overly suspicious of raved about things. I guess for me, I’ve seen far too many advertising falsity that causes me to be cynical. I do try hard to be objective and ask Allah to open my eyes and heart to things whenever I do have to attend any like-said functions though.

p.s. and ESQ courses are so expensive!

Now?

I think I’ve found out what the problem is. A week ago I was trying out a code to encrypt entries into passworded segments. Turns out, it doesn’t work on tumblr, and I’ve forgotten to take out the script.

The entries *should* show up now.

Making people cry at motivational talks
We have been at it since we were 10, 15, 17, 18, 21, 25, and now, 27?
You don’t need to dim lights, to talk in ‘sebak’ voice to initiate remorsefulness
You don’t need to play on emotions by mentioning parental sacrifices (not that it is any less or irrelevant at this age)
Sad music? Please skip.
I just don’t believe in creating atmosphere for people to bawl or srot sret and translate that to remorse and repentance.
For school kids, maybe.
In the group that we were, a smart and intellectual approach is needed.
Don’t always push in negativity to pull out a sense of remorse.
Positive relations works better imo. I’ve had many moments of realisation through positive outlooks on life. Because it makes me appreciate it more.
I make a point to not cry, because I feel that any tears of keinsafan should not be staged up. Though I do ask myself, am I being stupidly stubborn or am I actually right in feeling the way I do.
This list is not even a list.

Personally, I think ‘soul-cleansing’ motivational speakers should research into better approach in handling such programmes. And get new materials. I dunno.

Box/Bokkusu/Boxu (and commenting)

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:43:22 +0800

belalang:

Mcm mana nak komen? I’ll just reblog la. Tak reti la nak guna Tumblr ni. Box la, or in Japanese “Bokkusu (ボックス)” Nak panggil box ke bokusu?

To comment, go to my blog. Click on the entry (or the little speech bubble), and write in the comment box.

Senang. Reblog only if the person do not have a commenting feature. Otherwise, semak je blog.

Org tak cakap pun Boxu tu Japanese arrr. It wouldn’t be original if we outright take it from Bokkusu. Hapara. So, its a twist for Box and Bokkusu. Boxu. You pronounce it almost the same anyway.

Someone at the office demanded I make creampuffs for them...

Someone at the office demanded I make creampuffs for them because, and I quote, “I saw people eat creampuff in these Korean dramas and it looked so YUMMEH”

My answer, “Leceh” (more like Lazy)

Almost

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:16:36 +0800

We almost adopted a baby squirrel.

Alang caught a glimpse of one prancing about in the house yesterday. We dismissed it later on because it was assumed an adult squirrel was just passing through.

This morning, just before we went out for work, we heard *squeak squeak*

(oh jangan lah cik ti)

Turns out a baby squirrel was curled up behind our sofa, between the curtains. It must have tried to find its way out. I made some of Boxu (ke Yoru? the kittens new name) formula milk for the baby squirrel. I’m pretty sure, if it had came forth and taken a sip (do squirrel sip?), we’d probably had taken it up for adoption and start bringing cats and squirrels to the vet.

[I was even thinking of a comic strip featuring the two of them “Jump & Boxu”]

But it was wild. Kept jumping away from us. We managed to flop over a cardigan over it and scooped it outside. Lets keep to the phrase “If you set it free, and it comes back, its yours”.

Too bad we were to mesmerised by it to take any pictures.

Speed

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 06:40:05 +0800

a-reza:

Just because the speed limit says 65kmh, does not mean you have to set your cruise control on exactly 65. It’s OK — let’s live a bit, sprinkle some sugar on your cereal, and maybe go 66. The cop isn’t going to pull you over for going 72kmh.

Some people are aware of safety. As long as its not under the minimum speed limit, I’m perfectly fine with that.

Over here, 60km/h are normally within town areas.

Each person is a guardian of his charges

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 06:12:24 +0800

fingularity:

“Allah’s Apostle said, “Surely! Everyone of you is a guardian and is responsible for his charges: The Imam (ruler) of the people is a guardian and is responsible for his subjects; a man is the guardian of his family (household) and is responsible for his subjects; a woman is the guardian of her husband’s home and of his children and is responsible for them; and the slave of a man is a guardian of his master’s property and is responsible for it. Surely, everyone of you is a guardian and responsible for his charges.”“

Hadith Bukhari, Narrated by ’Abdullah bin ‘Umar

This hadith has been ingrained in me since I was so young. Because, some way or the other, we are a guardian of something. With that, comes responsibility and rights (hak) of that we guard of which we must fulfil. And these rights will be queried in the hereafter. Yet so many of us forget that (saya pun). We often think too much of ourselves and fail to properly oblige our responsibilities (as a guardian). Make no doubt about it, we will be questioned. Astaghfirullahal’aziim.

I need a sugar rush. I need a double choc cupcake with chocolate topping.

Even though I know people can’t see me through the other side unless I have my webcam turned on, I still feel weird when I’m eating/sleeping/changing in front of my computer. Out of habit, sometimes, I even unplug, or place it face down just in case. It’s ridic, you don’t have to tell me.

I put plasticine over my webcam. Better be safe than sorry (even if it means paranoia to the 10th degree). Glad to know I’m not the only one.

Sales people

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 04:53:00 +0800

maddieness:

Went to Sephora last Sat and didn’t buy anything, probably should have. They had these cute French manicure travel kits I wanted but the sales person was annoying so I just passed on it instead.

X_X

It’s the same world-wide isn’t it? I don’t suppose these sales people realise (or maybe they do, and yet they don’t care) that their attitude plays a role in getting people to buy their things or chasing people off.

Countless of times I’ve had to make a pass at things, or go to a different branch, just to get something I want. There is a list of shop/outlets that I have banned myself from going, and so far, I’ve kept true to my words and not stepped in any of them for ages.

Major blunder

Tiger is a girl.

And Tiger will have to change names.

Protective

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 07:59:00 +0800

Have you ever had an instant where you have this protective tendency towards someone? Not a family member or a significant other, not even a crush. But that protectiveness is like the person *is* your younger sibling, and you wouldn’t want them to get hurt.

If yes, what do you do when you see the person going into treacherous zones, like being played into the hands of a player? What do you do? Since you can’t quite tell the person that the other is a player, just because that would be very awkward.

What a gloomy start to a Monday morning eh? :P I’m still at home though. Will be taking Tiger to the vet. We’ve procrastinated this long enough. Yesterday while browsing some pet store, I found the price of one bottle of flea-killer spray is approximately RM70! Mak ai. Mahalnya.
