Assalamualaikum wbt ...

Alhamdulillah syukur ... sweating out for the past two weekends ...

no no no ... not jogging mogging by the lakeside ... which i wanted to but he said no lah ...

actually that was a good decision because we ended up clearing that semak that we used to call laman ...

alhamduLillah ... done ... sakit pinggang sakit tapak kaki ... tapak kaki rasa tebal sakit semacam ... tapak tangan apa lagi ... but biasa dah kecik kecik dulu pun mencangkul merumput bagai dalam sawah ...so tak hal kan ...

selalunya dah mengada sikit ni berglove lah ... nak kurangkan sakit tangan ... but glove dah habis rosak ... and to get new ones would have meant delay of the job ... and i am not the one to delay bila semangat berkobar-kobar ...

~

main main kat laman ni bagus ... walau tangan badan baju comot ... otak tak comot ... ada je idea pusing pusing dalam kepala ... i regularly talked out analysis dalam kepala ... concepts and lines and paragraphs ... sampai kadang kadang terbe-cakap sendiri hehe ... i will stop myself when this happens ... jangan sampai ada yang salah sangka haha...

i think this was what happened one day when a neighbour melaporkan kepada saya yang sorang neighbour lagi tu cakap ... akak tu bercakap dengan bunga dia hahaha ... 

mengintai yo kojo kau yo :)

~

anyway ... my co-supervisor encourages me to ... cakap and write ... meaning write it as you talk to yourself ...

 talking to yourself helps to clarify ideas ... 

but as i have said earlier jangan buat depan orang je ...

 ~

now with the laman dah clear ... nampak kosong lah kan ... so ada alasan lah kita ke nursery jamu mata :) ... jamu lebih - beli sikit je ... what with the US government shutdown tu ... kita kat sini pun pandai pandai lah bawa diri ... dunia semakin sempit ... tempias semakin kerap ...

bunga lama ada lah sikit surviving in the jungle of weeds ... i like these kinds of survivors ... so i keep on transplanting them ...

~

and on the serious side ...

for those who are keen to know apa hal US Government shutdown tu ... 

bolehlah ziarah sini ...

~

update trip to Baitul Maqdis ... AlhamduLillah documents have been submitted to KDN for approval ... itinerary pun dah ada ... yang ni update kemudian insyaAllah ...

2 conferences concurrently two days before departure ... tengok macam mana insyaAllah usahakan juga ... may Allah SWT ease ... ameen.

For this we say thank you ...

google ...

for Palestine ...   more Here ...

~

On Friday, the search engine changed the tagline on its home page in the occupied territories from "Palestinian territories" to, simply, "Palestine".

"We consult a number of sources and authorities when naming countries," a Google spokesman, Nathan Tyler, told the BBC. "In this case, we are following the lead of the UN, Icann [Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers], ISO [International Organisation for Standardisation] and other international organisations."

Some of the things she said ...

Margaret Thatcher died Tuesday ... but some of the things she said make sense ...

On Power
“Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't.” 

On Convictions
"I am not a consensus politician. I'm a conviction politician."

“Consensus: “The process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values, and policies in search of something in which no one believes, but to which no one objects; the process of avoiding the very issues that have to be solved, merely because you cannot get agreement on the way ahead. What great cause would have been fought and won under the banner: ‘I stand for consensus?”

"If you just set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time and you would achieve nothing."

On Society
"There is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women and there are families.''

“It used to be about trying to do something. Now it's about trying to be someone.”

“Do you know that one of the great problems of our age is that we are governed by people who care more about feelings than they do about thoughts and ideas.”

On Character
“Watch your thoughts for they become words.
Watch your words for they become actions.
Watch your actions for they become habits.
Watch your habits for they become your character.
And watch your character for it becomes your destiny.
What we think, we become.
My father always said that... and I think I am fine.” 

On Work Ethic
“Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it's a day you've had everything to do and you've done it.”

“I do not know anyone who has gotten to the top without hard work. That is the recipe. It will not always get you to the top, but it will get you pretty near.”
