Wanita Merokok


Semalam sedang asyik menikmati kopi di sebelah pagi dan bersembang dengan seorang rakan, timbul satu isu yang menarik dibincangkan. Pandangan masyarakat terhadap wanita yang merokok.  Teman berbual saya adalah seorang wanita dan beliau adalah juga seorang perokok yang menghabiskan satu bungkus rokok sehari. Dalam perbualan kami timbul isu berkaitan dengan pandangan masyarakat terhadap perokok wanita. Bagi beliau, tiada sebarang masalah kerana beliau dengan selamba menghisap rokok dikhalayak ramai dan tidak teragak agak untuk lepak di kedai mamak dengan rakan sekerja dan menghembus asap rokok.




*Gambar ini hanya ilustrasi dan bukan teman yang dinyatakan dalam artikel ini


Perbualan kami mula rancak berkaitan dengan seorang teman yang merupakan seorang wanita yang juga ibu kepada dua anak yang merokok secara sembunyi sembunyi kerana takut akan tanggapan negatif masyarakat terhadap beliau. Namun pada masa yang sama teman berkenaan tanpa segan silu akan meminta sebatang rokok dari kawan kawan lelaki bila dia keputusan stok. Adakah dia seorang yang hipokrit kerana satu kampung sudah heboh dan mengetahui bahawa dia adalah seorang perokok dan buat tak peduli sahaja. Namun dia masih berlakon seolah masih mahu menyembunyikan tabiat merokok beliau daripada pandangan masyarakat.




Persoalan sekarang adalah... adakah salah bagi seorang wanita untuk merokok dikhalayak ramai terutama sekali wanita timur? Mungkin ada yang berpendapat amat kurang menyenangkan sekali melihat seorang wanita merokok. Tapi mungkin ada yang tak kisah dan bagi merokok itu adalah hak masing masing. Bergantung kepada anda semua untuk meyuarakan pendapat masing masing.

In Loving Memory



Last thursday was the first annivesary of the early demise of my late brother. He passed away one year ago at the still early age of 45. The above picture was taken in 1977 when he was  a young lad of fourteen. I happened to have this in my possesion together with some old photos of myself and my mum and sis which was used in a border pass when we were visiting some relatives in southern Thailand. Found it safely kept by my father when I was going through some things after my father passed away.

Sometimes you just wished you could have more time with the people you love but in today's world you are always busy pursuing worldly desires and forget about appreciating your time with family and friends.... and when they are gone, you would always feel the empty space somewhere deep in your heart and a certain longing for them.. 

To Nik Mohd Yusoff Bin Nik Salleh.. AL-FATIHAH..Peace be upon you my brother

Pentas Wayang Dunia

Dalam meniti kehidupan seharian, kadang kadang terfikir jua yang banyak berlaku pementasan wayang bangsawan secara "langsung" yang banyak dipersembahkan di hadapan mata kita. Ini terutama sekali dapat kita jumpa di pejabat di mana banyak kaki kipas yang dapat menjiwai watak sebagai pelakon utama dengan jayanya sekali.

Dan semestinya ini bukan pementasan main main bagi pelakon pelakon ini. Mereka dengan serius sekali membawa peranan masing masing demi untuk memastikan anugerah pelakon terbaik jatuh ke tangan mereka tahun ini. Dan yang anehnya, beberapa pelakon leleaki dan wanita sedang berebut rebut dalam mempamerkan diri mereka sebagai pelakon yang paling bagus. sedangkan mereka ini juga adalah kawan baik diantara mereka dan merupakan satu 'clique'. dalam masa yang sama mereka bersaing dengan amat hebat sekali. namun peementasan yang dianggap serius bagi mereka pula adalah merupakan sandiwara lawak jenaka yang tak mengeringkan gusi kepada penonton yang sentiasa mengikuti perkembangan drama swasta ini. dan tak kurang juga banyak senyuman sinis terlempar ke arah pelakon berkenaan yang nampaknya kurang menegerti sindirin sindiran serta kiasan yang agak menusuk kalbu yang terlempar ke arah mereka sekian hari. Pelakon ini semua masih lagi asyik di alam khayalan mereka yang amat meriah bagi diri mereka sendiri dan penuh dengan haruman kasturi hipokrasi. 

Bak kata hikayat melayu... biarlah luncai terjun dengan labu labunya... biarkan mereka meneruskan lakonan bangsawan mereka yang semestinyasatu hari nanti bakal memakan diri sendiri.... begitulah kalau anak kecil main api... nanti terbakar dirinya sendiri......

Cameron Highlands




 Went for a relaxing few days in Cameron and above is the proof..hehehe.. unfortunately this is the only photo of myself in Cameron... i really missed this Cameron.. my fav domestic vacation place. having been born and bred byt the seaside, i tend to runaway from the vacationing by the beach. preferred hte highlands nowadays. of coz the jungle is out of the question also as now has been working in the jungle for 2 1/2 years and quite used to the jungle environment. need something relaxing and cooling and where else but cameron is the best spot. first went there in 1994 and till now, i cannot recall allready how many times i have been there. but always it's either Rosa Pasadena Hotel or Strawberry Park Resort. Have been eyeing the Cameron Highlands Resort runned by YTL Hotels but that property is a little over the budget for me now. Maybe next time though. Another property of YTL of which i liked is the Tanjong Jara Resort, went there for one night a few weeks ago but i forgot to take photo's, but let me tell you one thing. it's worth every cent that you paid for. the room is fantastic, and kudos also to the Housekeeper, He/she managed to have the room spotless and to think of the challenge of being a seaside resort. Mind you, it's very seldom for me to praise resort/hotel housekeepers as being in the Rooms division myself, i tend to be more critical of Housekeeping and always try to find any weaknessses.

The other photos above are of the scenery from the Boh Plantation and also flora and fauna found in Cameron. It seems that those few days is not enough for me. Maybe sometime soon, i'll be making another visit.

Rape Me My Friend



This song by Nirvana has always been my fav amongst all since so many years ago. The main reason is the symbolism of hurt and anguish felt by Cobain of the trusted people surrounding him which are using him for their own interest.

Sometimes I also felt the same. Some friends continously use you for their own purposes. What hurts some more is that this friend is also a close one. And for that persons interest, i felt like i'm continously being used again and again and again. I mean, I have nothing to gain by helping this person. In fact, by helping this person... it's like slowly hurting my soul due to what has happened in the past. But ... dunno la dudes, it's difficult to turn down a person's request for help and assistance. That being the person that i am. But can't this person stop and look around for a while... can't this person see what he/she is doing is victimising me as a friend to do something that is hurting me also. Does this person have any heart to spare to see me in this state of health to force myself some more to help. To plead with me... i mean.. who is going to help me then after this because definitely i would be forgotten................. 

At the end of the day... you would only require a friend like me when you are in need...... what about  me..... to be left to rot like a decaying piece of rag..... Rape me my friend...... again and again..........................

One day I hope you would truly open your eyes and really see..... 



Rape me,
Rape me my friend 
Rape me,
Rape me again 

I'm not the only one 


Hate me
Do it and do it again  
Waste me, 
Rape me ,my friend.

I'm not the only one

My favorite inside source 
I'll kiss your open sores 
Appreciate your concern 
You'll always stink and burn

Rape me,
Rape me my friend
Rape me,
Rape me again

Im not the only one

Gua Bewah


This is when i visited Gua Bewah in 2006. Gua Bewah is located in Taman Negara at the Terengganu side and are only accesible by boat. It is about 1 hours speed boat ride from Pengkalan Gawi. 

Among the attractions in Gua Bewah are:-

Pre Historic People Excavation Site

The cave used to be home to humans more than 2000 yeras ago. Once you entered the cave, you can see a display area of the excavation and the history of the cave. There is an exhibition of some of the items found there.

Cave Racers

This is a species of snake which lived in caves. The snake feed on bats and they climb cave walls and catch bats flying near them. It is pure white and very rare. It is listed as an endangered species.

Luminous cockroach

There is a species of cockroach which emits a blue colored light at their tail when in the dark. It's not everytime that you can see this cockroach and it's very hard to find them.

Rainbow


It was one afternoon late 2006 and I had just finished lunch with a few others at the Restaurant. The whole afternoon we had suffered rain and it was not the best weather at all. 

Just after lunch, saw this marvel right in front of my eyes. The rainbow was so close it seems it was just beyond my reach. Awestruck, that was the magic word. You just had to experience it yourself to understand how i felt that day. The picture quality is not that good, but just want to share it with you guys....

Dusk at Kuala Terengganu



This image was captured more than a year ago along the Terengganu River. I was with a few friends enjoying a night out in town and as usual we would have dinner at new places that we would like to try. The restaurant now ceased to exist already but the ambience there was nice. It was near a jetty where the fisherman parked their seagoing boats and sometimes we could watch them get ready to head out to sea.

This is one of the most tranquil places that i had been to and sometimes the magic moment come unexpected. The view was so captivating and it eases a lot of the knot which was haunting my mind at that time.

Just to share with you guys what i had experienced throughout my life. It might not be significant for you, but for me it was one of those moments that you would like to cherish forever in your memories.
