Bedtime Story : past, present & future

source : google Image

Hello readers!

Do you still remember all of those bedtime stories your mother told you when you were just a little kid? Well, I definitely still remember some local bedtime story or tangon that my mother used to tell me whenever I faced difficulties to sleep in Dusun language. Most of it was about a ordeal and experienced of  character named as anak-anak. My mother was not as educated as my father so she was unable to read all of those fairy tales books to me but I still loves to hear the her story. That was bedtime story during my years and I grown up listening to those local story before I was introduced to the fairy tales.

Me too read a bedtime stories to my kids sometimes but ashamedly I have to admit that I didn't told them the story I heard from my mother not because I don't want to but because I don't know how to tell it or more accurately I don't know how to translate it into English or Malay correctly.. I tried once but quit after my kids laugh on me over mistakenly used a wrong words.. Kids nowadays are smarter and their thousand question right after I finished reading those bedtime story sometimes choked me..(*sigh)

I wonder what kind of bedtime story will my kid read to their kid in future? Will local story and fairy tales still interest our future generation? No matter what, I hope our future generation will preserve the tradition of reading bedtime story because to me it is one of the effective way to get close to our children. It created a certain kind of biding time with our kids that might be lack in our hectic-pace future generation where time seem not quite enough to grasp their ambitious vision.

Boomerang Reward From TNT

Ayayayai.. I received my Boomerang Reward From TNT last week!!!

I submitted my Redemption on 10/02/2011 to TNT express Worldwide (m) Sdn Bhd  & expected to received the items by the end of this month. So I am so damn surprised when TNT delivery guy handed me over my redemption reward last week..

 It's not an expensive stuff but it's FREE STUFF! My company has been used TNT services for quite sometime and though the fare is bit expensive yet my boss trusted this logistic services. Boomerang is one of TNT's testing program to see whether their customer would approved this kind of give back for their loyalty on using TNT services. Well, to me it's a good program though to get the best reward of all, customer have to accumulate a sum of point yet the minor reward also satisfying.

The Rewards From TNT

 If TNT wanna prolong this program, I am damn sure that I can persuade my boss to let me participate our company again! My favorite reward is the 3 in 1 KFC voucher! ( psssttt..my boss let me have all the reward! ^_^ V ) My family especially my kiddos & me will gonna have a feast  at KFC or Pizza's house! (*wink )

Note:-

• The Voucher total sum are RM100 & I spent it on buying KFC & Pizza
• The TNT's Teddy bear given to my princess but my youngest son "rampas" & make it as his bolster bear!
• I just love the  TNT Foldable Bag! The decoration suited me well and even my kiddos nanny said it is pretty nice bag! So, I gave 1 unit to her..

When Ignorant people "talk"...

Last Sunday, our local newspaper,Berita Harian  published a insensitive caricature about Tsunami disaster over Japan that received million of negative feed back from peoples around the world. Lots of people questioned on how come such insensitive caricature can even published / released by the editor of those newspaper? This is what happened when we are ignorant of people feeling and situation.

Maybe the author just wanna make fun but to me it's totally wrong and unacceptable! we cannot turn other peoples grief and misery into laughing stokes! It is an heartless act for doing so especially from us Malaysian people who well known as one of the country rich with moral value & hospitality..

Though Berita Harian already asked for forgiveness over their carelessness but believe me when I say that world will always labeled us as insensitive country just because of this mistake..*sigh*

When this insensitive caricature issue is still hot on the track, our First Lady, Datuk Rosmah Mansur shocked us with her clueless & idiotic statement over the recent disaster hit Japan! Watch the video below:~

Ini.. pada diri saya, adalah satu pengajaran kpd negara2 lain utk apa2 pun mereka nak buat ataupun sebarang pembangunan yang mereka ingin lakukan, seharusnya mengkaji dulu keadaan sekeliling & mengaitkan dgn 'Green Technology'.. err.. err... termasuk juga negara kita." - Rosmah Mansor.

I am totally speechless when I watched this video.. Gosh, how ignorant people can be kan.. She is really & truly clueless over what she was saying. In her statement, she was implied that the earthquake & tsunami that hit Japan were consequences of their lack of concerns toward the environment...

Doesn't she know the meaning of NATURAL DISASTER ? 

It's commonly know that Japan is located on Pacific Ring Of Fire, that's why it has constantly experienced earthquake in the past and will face the similar condition in future. It's not because of their own doing that causes the earthquake and tsunami but the natural cause that we called natural hazard. The fact is, Japan is one of the most advance in green-tech among countries all over the world and even if they do not practicing enough environment friendly technology, I still think that we Malaysian is not in position to criticize them.

Her statement show that she is in the state of ignorance & possesses a very poor of knowledge in geographical aspect. Maybe she want to give a statement that sound brilliant but in the end she just screwed it up with her ignorant & idiotic statement! Bak kata pepatah Melayu, " terlajak perahu boleh diundur, terlajak kata, badan binasa " 

So think wisely before making any statement. Don't play the brainy act if you clueless over something.. People will understand if you just admitted that you don't have a idea then playing the cool act just to cover your lack of knowledge..

Hopefully world won't judge all Malaysian people over this two careless or clueless people mistake! 

Note:-

• I can't wait to know our PM respond over this issue... Will he back up his beloved wife? 
• I am not judging our FL, but only wanna give my say from my POV..
• The 2nd last Paragraph is pointed to me actually..hihihihi

Life : Through My Window ( Poem )

Wanna share this nice piece of poem  by C Cattaway . The meaning is deep & significant with my Blog Title.

Through my window, I can see
A world that isn't pleasing me,
For on the street, I see a box,
And inside, feet which wear no socks.
I needn't know, for I can guess
Just what is there atop those legs,
A little boy without a home.
A poor, small child, helpless and alone.
Through the window there, I saw
A man who turned to alcohol,
And still, each day, he fills his cup
'Coz that's all that keeps his spirits up.
People think it's his own fault,
"He would change, if a job he saught",
But they don't know why he's that way.
He's skilled enough, but still turned away.
Through the window, I can see
A world I viewed so differently.
I'm lucky enough to live inside,
And it's easy enough for me to hide.
What have they done to be that way?
Did they run out of luck, one day?
With a different start, would they be the same?
Or, would all my worry be in vain?
I've taken for granted the sea and the sky,
For I thought my window didn't lie.
But now, I see that I was wrong.
Outside my window, life goes on.

New Tv Set !

Jeng.. Jeng.. Jeng... 

My hubby bought a new set of LCD color television  today.. ( mo mikirayou sikit.. hehehe )

Actually our 6 years old set of television sudah start meragam, that's why my hubby decided to buy a new one & he said alang2 mo beli baru, beli ja la yang ok sikit.. Thank you hubby! ( lama sudah jealous dgn friends & family who own LCD/PLASMA/LED television )

 This is the my snapped pic of my new TV set :~

Sharp _ Aquos 32'

However we still want to repair the old one because it was our 1st television that we owned & it's kind of reminder to us on how hard we been strive to be what we are now.. Yeah, I am proud with my hubby & myself for being able to faced all the obstacle in the past & here we are more comfortable than before.. ( sedih bila teringat masa susah dulu2 )

I feel happy because we can buy stuff with our own earned money without borrowing from other & humiliated. I am happy because my children can eat good & nutritious food! I am happy because no longer people look down at us.. Hardship have toughen me & make me a better person..

Some people said keep your head up & never look back but to me, I will definitely keep my head up & at the same times will looked back to the past from time to time to learn from it in order not to repeat the same mistake..

huishh.. I am into blues all of sudden, hahahaha.. Well, wanna stop here & enjoy my 1st time watching DVD with our new LCD television.. See ya later & Peace No war..

Condolences & Prayer for Japan & its people

This Afternoon I got a call from my company supplier, Ms. Anne from Fuji Die Co.,Ltd Malaysia Branch to inform me that they will take some times to reply our request to give us the schedule for preform carbide order. At that moment I was not aware about the earthquake that hit Japan earlier this morning so I ask her why & shockingly get to know this devastated news about Earthquake & Tsunami that hit Japan..

Ms. Anne told me that their headquarter in the center of Tokyo also affected by the earthquake & all of the workers were ordered to go back home until the safety of their building confirmed. I feel bad & really sad to know this news since I have few friend who live & study at Japan but glad to know that  they're safe! ( dapat tau situasi my friend from FB..)

Malaysia Meteorological Department already notify/ warned people who stay near Labuan & Kudat beach to not wandering nearby the sea from 6pm to 12 midnight because of the raising seal leval & strong wave as a impact from the earthquake..

Lets us pray for the safety of people in Japan who involved in this tremor.. Hopefully they will be strong & patient to faced this nature disaster & May God bless them!

IPv4 To IPv6 ? What is That?? Explain please..

source: Google Image

Seriously, I don't have any idea what is IPv4 or IPv6., I do know about Internet Protocol but I never know that it got what they called as version 4 & version 6.. ( hahaha, I am not IT student nor Computer geek )

Just now, I am browsing the The Borneo Post Online when my eyes caught this post about changing the IPv4 to IPv6 & jadi gelabah sekejap because I don't know what is it all about..( Habit yg susah mo dibuang bila faced with new stuff/info that need my urgent attention: Anxiety )

So, here I am asking for a favor from all of you my beloved follower / whoever read this entry that have knowledge about this stuff, can you please explain to me ( in simple word, no extreme IT word ) what is this stuff about ?

All your comment / explanation is highly appreciated.. ( cewah, mcm buat surat rasmi pula kan..)

I feel bit embarrassed for asking this favor tapi orang cakap " malu tanya, sesat jalan" kan.. So I rather put aside my embarrased feeling to know new thing then berlagak mcm I know eveything.. ( malu-malu kucing juga la..)

P/s:- Hopefully will get lots of explanation !

We are Not Whining!

Reading the statement by the Deputy of Prime Minister really boiled up my blood! Adakah He asked us to stop whining when all the Sabahan have done were asking for their assistance to help them improve their life standard! He even put the blame on the Sabahan leaders  that they unable to do much for the landless & hardcore poor! Jadi what the use of "Kerajaan Pusat"?? Isn't it is their responsibility to observes & take action if something is not right with the state leadership?? Come on, where is the spirit of " RAKYAT DIDAHULUKAN, PENCAPAIAN DIUTAMAKAN " motto that propagated by the government?

What really irritated me is the comparison of Sabahan poverty problem with starvation faced by China & India citizens. China ( ~ 1.4 billion people ) & India ( ~ 1.15 billion people ) are high populated country mister! How can he compared those country with Sabah that have approximately 3.2 million people? With that number of population & limited source of foods, starvation definitely surfaced. Please understand that Sabahan people not complaining about starvation but we are complaining about the lack of development in our Beloved land of Sabah. How can we feel satisfied when our state was labeled as the poorest state in Malaysia though we are all waiting & ready to co-operate for the proper development to be conducted by the

government.

Sabahan people also need to change they way of their thinking. Instead of waiting for the help that might never come, I guess all of us should stand together shoulder by shoulder, helping ourselves & our state to development. For example, support our local people in their business or take part in any local communities/events that give opportunity to our local people especially youngster to gain skill in supporting themselves & their family to prevent them from depending too much to the government.. It's better than waiting in uncertainty of the promised development by government right?

 

To all Sabahan, don't mind about being labeled as " the poorest state" in Malaysia because to me we are still the richest & beautiful no matter what they say! I am Proud To be Sabahan !

Note:-

1. This post is just my point of view & not intended to insult or humiliated any party ( personal or community ) & forgive me if any feel so.. 
2. This is just an honest opinion from the heart of Sabahan woman & its definitely not a political view because I am not interested in politic itself..
