chasing our own shadow in 2008

assalamualaikum...

new year is just around the corner, approximately in 60 days time we'll be meeting it. what exactly will be waiting for us? nobody knows. will it be our 'glorious' year?, nobody yet could determine it. the tiny turmoil has already started. I believe everybody has sense it. the new toll rate and the new petrol price. enough with this two things first...scaryness has already there. this two things are the most influencing factors to our economic condition. undoubtedly, everyone knows about it.

I'm not trying to make this issue bigger, because its already big. by god's help we manage to go thru 2007 and definitely we'll still asking His help in order to get thru 2008. my oh my, its definitely a scary one and I even got few friends that already making their finger crossed! hoping for a bright and shiny 2008. a people-friendly year. for the low-income group, not even crossing fingers but they've done the same to their legs!! I might be wrong here, but this happen partly due to our intention of to quickly become a developed nation.

yes, we need to develop. we need the infra. we need to be at par with the 'big players'. but at the same time we don't want our people to suffer. the price just to damn big for the people to pay. what we really need is to close the gap between the rich at the poor first. otherwise all the developments, the infras, the technologies will only be consumed and occupied by the rich - the group that already has everything! give priority to this first, let all level of people in one line first so when the 'fruit' comes they can all together able to 'taste' it fair and square.

wallahualam.

cerita-ceriti lepas raya

assalamualaikum...

lama sesangat dah tak tulis kat sini....angkasawan dah pergi dan dah turun balik. raya pun dah masuk hari yang ke 9. pergi rumah terbuka? sekarang memang tengah 'schedule' kan le ni. kalau betul 'timing' nya tak payah masakle bila 'weekend'. gas jimat, belanja dapur pun jimat cuma petrol dan tol je kena keluar lebih sikit...tapi takpe yang penting silaturrahim tu...kan? apapun bila dah makin nak meninggalkan syawal ni makin ribut 'kepunden' le pulak nak kampui balik kumpul duit untuk 'cover' belanja raya. bukan sikit anak juga belanjanya kan? lebih-lebih bagi orang yang dah berkeluarga.

takpe le pelan-pelan...insyaAllah dapat le 'cover'. anak pun sekarang ada yang dah pandai 'serahkan' duit raya kat mak-bapak balik...yeela diaorang pun tahu mak-bapak dah banyak berabis untuk menyerikan raya diaorang tu. mak-bapak yang beringat pastinya akan menyimpan duit raya anak-anaknya tuh...mak-bapak yang betul-betul kering takpe le...pakai je dulu duit raya anak-anak tu. esok-esok ada rezeki lebih bayor le balik...paling koman bukakan akaun skim saraan pendidikan nasional tu (SSPN-kalau tak silaple..!!). selamat gitu. belanja pendidikan sekarang dan untuk di masa-masa akan datang bukanle sikit...banyak brotherr!

entahle kalau dipikir-pikir gusar juga...tapi gitule hakikatnya. cuma apa yang kita boleh buat ialah 'planning' dan 'prepare' dan seterusnya yang paling penting berdoalah padaNya supaya dipermudah kehidupan kita, anak-anak dan generasi yang seterusnya. tidakkah dia sebaik-baik tempat untuk mengadu dan memohon pertolongan? kita doa kat Dia pun memang Dia suka jadi tunggu apa lagi brotherr!. kita mohonlah agar dipermudah kehidupan dan dipermudah kematian kita...alaaa...lagipun Dia tahu pasal kita lebih dari kita sendiri tahu pasal diri kita sendiri...tak gitu? wallahualam.
