Ramadhan

1. Ramadhan comes and goes. This year is the toughest.The water crisis in the island. So how do i survive the crisis? What did i learned?

2. The first 2 weeks of fasting was fine. the weather was fine. the water supply was fine. the food also was fine. tarawih was performed. i managed to wake up early and have my sahur. i also cook for break fast for the first two weeks.

3. then what happened when it comes to the third week? the water supply started to show red sign. sometimes we have water. sometime we dont have water. but it becomes worst when we dont have water for 2 days. what did i do? i can have water, but i have to gain water. i have to collect water using a pail and carry it to my place. roughly i have to do that several times to make sure i have enough water supply.

4. in times like this, i tend to appreciate water. i found out that, i can have a descent bath using a pail of water. i can use the washing machine and yet minimizing the water manually. apart from that, i am capable to use the water economically.

5. people tend to take things for granted when it comes to water usage. nobody bother to turn off the water during shower, shampooing, brushing teeth and washing dishes. i found out that i can minimize the water usage in every tasks involving water.

6. i guess god is teaching us to appreciate water during ramadhan. teaching us some lesson about hardship and appreciation. life can be meaningful without water. it depends on you. how do you survive in time like this.

Jauh

1. Ramadhan datang lagi. kali ini berpuasa di pulau. tahun ini berpuasa sendiri di pulau. jauh dari keluarga dan sahabat. puasa tahun ini seharusnya membawa erti yang berbeza.

2. apabila kita berjauhan dari orang yang disayangi banyak perkara boleh berlaku. kepercayaan yang diberi perlu diamati. ada antara kita mengambil mudah sesetengah perkara. ada juga yang mengambil kesempatan. terpulang kepada seseorang menafsir sesuatu perkara.

3. apabila kesabaran diuji berkali-kali, mungkin tahap kesabaran semakin menebal atau mungkin kesabaran manusia boleh hilang sekelip mata. kesabaran manusia mempunyai beberapa tahap yang boleh dicapai dan juga tidak tercapai. apa akan berlaku sekiranya seorang manusia telah hilang kesabaran?

4. ada diantara kita terlalu lapar akan kebenaran. persoalannya adakah anda bersedia mengetahui tentang sesuatu kebenaran yang dicari. berbaloikah pencarian ke atas kebenaran? sekiranya benar ada kebenaran atau hanyalah prasangka yang melewati fikiran? prasangka. percayalah prasangka manusia mampu merubah sesuatu keadaan.

5.perubahan akan berlaku. itu yang pasti. hanya masa yang bakal menentukan apa akan berlaku kepada manusia yang telah hilang kesabarannya, yang berprasangka, yang mencari kebenaran, yang mencari jawapan.

aturcara majlis

1. event organizing is an interesting task to do. when you are doing event organizing, you have to deal with people. there are many types of people. and sometimes some of these people may piss you off.

2. the sanity in you. the patience in you. the wisdom in you. will differentiate you with the rest of the people. when we are talking about people, we are talking about communication. we also talking about human behaviour. it is getting more interesting when you can see how these people work with each other to make the event successfully organized.

3. some people have the power. some people have the authority. some people have the energy. and some people will delegate power to certain people. some people will receive directions and instructions. some people will complain. some people will keep their mouth shut. some people will just do and follow the instructions. and there will be some people who try to please certain people.

4. how do you satisfy everyone in such situation? how do you manage people in such situations? how do you encounter with differents responds, behaviour,circumstances and unexpected matters? some people will loose their sanity in such situation. some people applied the ignorance is bliss policy. but some people just dont.

5. the interesting part is, you are seeing the social penetration theory taking place. layer after layer of onion will expose the true color of a person. and you are so wise you will manipulate the information gained about a person in order to make things work.

6. period.
