WHAT WE HEAR ISN'T WHAT WE SEE

I just spent my early evening watching BRIDE WARS, and I remembered about this story… Not exactly of the same plot but I hope you love it.

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.

Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.

The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.

As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.

One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by.

Although the other man couldn't hear the band - he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.

Days and weeks passed.

One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths, only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.

As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.

Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside.
He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed.

It faced a blank wall. The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window

The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."


Epilogue:

There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.
Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.
If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy.

"Today is a gift, that's why it is called the present."

BLOG MASTERS I FOUND


It's been long. I spent my time reading and studying people's blogposts. The more I read them the more insecure I felt. And my self esteem begin to lower to such a level, I thought I'd stop blogging. But then again, there's always room for improvement. And I can always treat my blog as a free-to-read diary. These are some of the bloggers kind I discovered. Some really are inspirational, some are just plain ridiculous. Not all types are reviewed here, just some that I read.

entertainment circus
This blog is alike of Mangga, URTV etc... Just no side craps like horoscope, cut-short novels, tips itu dan ini. Takde mamat dan minah desperado cari jodoh.
OK FACTOR : We get to read only the hot and melting creme' scoop, only the hottest and most controversial topics possible. Some of these blogs are actually quite quick on attaining the lattest gossip spill, sometimes even becoming the feeds or source to reporters of real magazines. So magazine yang dijual kat luar sana are really passe.
KO FACTOR : I have to be patient about those nuffnang adds posted by this blog-whoring bloggers well they hope to earn money to feed their ever gloated belly. And I kinda hate those watermarking stuff they do. And also the blurring of subject's picture, it's cheaptalk if I cant see the bahan umpatan's face.
favourites are oh bulan, oh artis, blog budiey, perez hilton etc...

rage blog
This blog is from the asshole/badass/ bloggers who damn know how to annoy the rest of the world. It covers almost anything on earth possible. Plain explanation, I just love them with no valid reason. No OK or KO factors. So far I only favour this one particular he-bitch obefiend.

honey laced/chick-lit/sugababes blog
This blog is usually written by pretty faced girls telling their daily diary fills. Good to read if you have a desire or habit imagining yourself as someone more glamorous and good looking.
OK FACTOR : You will certainly feel uplifted and entertained reading their sweet-life-post.
KO FACTOR : You suddenly realized that you are so unlucky unlike them, sigh...
Follow one by hanis zalikha, she's a model.

blog sakit jiwa
This kind of blog is usually produced by pondan a.k.a she-man. Haters labelled them mulut kurang ajar, tak tau malu, takde insurans dan syok sendiri. Their presence are just because the siber space is open to all. My advise, never sell your soul to this kind of blogger. They just hate their life because they wished to be women but born men. However they make a fun and stressful read at the same time.
One blogger I can't suggest is silaseazwanali.

cooking blog
I love this blog! Sometimes I wish the food posted can be grabbed and eaten directly. The only thing I don't like is when the recipe turns out not honestly written. Kurang bahan. Very not nice.
The one I follow so far is homekreation-recipes.

photo-sentric blog
This kind of blog will usually feature DSLR-captured pictures. Its a craze now for the young and affordables to invest on photography. While many of them actually succeeded in becoming up and coming professional breeds, the rest just ended up wasting money as I can't see the art of foot pictures. I enjoy wedding pictures most. Only don't understand the yipee-jumping shot of the couples. I'll never dream doing that shot with Mr Vai.
The local blog I follow is Anderson Kalang, sometimes I sengaja go look around clicking on wedding photography blogs.

Okeh lah.. Go sleep first. Tata..

Selfish BlogPosting In MiriCommunity

Yesterday (24th July) Honey sms-ed allerting me on a 'certain post' in Miri Community which stayed there on the digest panel for the whole day regardless of how many other new feeds being posted by fellow members. And I checked it out. I'm not a moderator so there's nothing much I can do but to write about it.

This fellow blogger I found out had deliberately altered her 'post option' to the 25th July 2009 so that her blogpost remain on top of the digest throughout the day! What a selfish move! We have to watch her blogpost title hovering the much fresher posts. Thus limiting rolls for newer topics. Seriously, if your post is so interesting or important, I wouldn't mind.

Undeniably clever, but I don't fancy that kind of act. If you have a serious 'attention seeking' case go mail your friend and make them follow your blog. Don't bother us reader with your 'hey! look at my post!' entry. Maybe new to the blogging world, but it doesn't hurt to mind our blogging manners. Miri Community belongs to everybody, if you need more attention buzz, go join facebook, darn I don't even have one.

Datuk Dr. Fadilah Kamsah

My dear friends
Let us share what Datuk Dr. Fadilah Kamsah used to say;


' Ada orang datang ke pejabat dengan perasaan penuh gembira & ceria, ada datang dengan perasaan 'biasa' dan ada datang dengan perasaan serba tak kena '.. Ingat lah, sesiapa yang datang hanya dengan perasaan 'biasa' saja, hasilnya adalah 'biasa' saja, sesiapa yang datang dengan ceria, hasilnya akan jadi lebih daripada biasa ataupun luar biasa. Bekerja la dengan ceria agar menghasilkan produktiviti yang luar biasa yang akan menggembirakan orang di sekeliling kita. Semoga hasil itu akan mendapat keberkatan insyallah... '

Jadi renungi lah :-

1. Ada antara kita datang ke pejabat hanya memenuhi tanggung jawab
'DATANG BEKERJA' tapi hampeh, hasilnya macam kita 'TAK DATANG' kerja

2. Ada kala kita rasa kita BUSY giler , rupanya kita hanya 'KELAM KABUT'.

3. Adakala kita rasa kita PERIHATIN' , tapi rupanya kita BUSY BODY

4. Adakala kita rasa kita OPENMINDED and OUTSPOKEN tapi rupanya kita KURANG PENG'AJAR'AN.

5. Adakala kita rasa kita berpemikiran KRITIS rupanya kita hanya lebih kepada KRITIK yang mencipta KRISIS .

6. Adakala kita rasa kita ingin menjadi LEBIH MESRA tapi rupanya kita di lihat lebih MENGADA

7. Adakala kita suka bertanya 'KENAPA DIA NI MCM TAKDE KEJE' ,
adalah lebih baik kita tanya 'APA LAGI KEJE YANG AKU BOLEH BUAT'

Pejam mata dan renung lah diri, kalau kita perlu melakukan ANJAKAN PARADIGMA, maka lakukanlah.. .Segera, tapi manusia tetap manusia..sukar untuk berubah kerana kita selalu beranggapan kita lebih baik...adakah dengan merasakan itu kita sememangnya terbaik?

Maka untuk itu , mari kita mula senyum, ceria, mesra sesama kita dan tingkat kerjasama dalam kerja, tak rugi kita semai rasa 'kekeluargaan' dalam tugasan..kalau kita kurang kerja, cari la kerja membantu teman-teman yang lain.

Tak dapat gaji lebih pun tak apa sebab pahala dapat..kita draw kat akhirat nanti...tapi kalau kita asyik dengki mendengki..nasib la sebab dah ditentukan jalan yang sukar itu yang kita pilih..Renungi lah, berapa orang kawan kita dan berapa orang lawan kita, nescaya itu la kayu pengukur diri yang sebaiknya...


'mengkritik tidak bererti menentang,
menyetujui tidak semestinya menyokong,
menegur tidak bermakna membenci,
dan berbeza pendapat adalah kawan berfikir yang baik'

hehe...kan..kan...

I'M USED TO SEX-YISH JOKES

ya,my friends told me so,while others sheepishly smile,i ROFLMAO. huhu

Once upon a time in Singapore , there lived a happy couple, Mr. & Mrs. Ng with their 3 lovely daughters; Elaine, Ena & Ella

The 3 daughters were brought up in a prim-and-proper way and when they reached 20, they were still virgins.
Years passed, and it was time to get them married.

So, the parents found them the most suitable ' leng chais' (handsome guys).
They got married and were preparing to set-off on their honeymoon.

As 'concerned' (more like 'kay-poh') parents, Mr.& Mrs. Ng were curious about their daughters' first-night experience.
So, before the daughters went on their respective honeymoons, Mrs. Ng told them......'Your father and I want to know about your 1st night encounters and whether you are satisfied. Write a letter to us, but as not to raise your husbands' curiosity...you all must use a code-name to describe your experiences'.

So, the excited daughters were off. A week passed.
Mr. & Mrs. Ng got the first letter. It was from Elaine.
They opened the letter and found the word STANDARD CHARTERED. They immediately took the newspaper and looked for the Standard Chartered advertisement. 'Ah! here it is!', exclaimed Mr. Ng. The motto for Standard Chartered was... 'BIG, STRONG & FRIENDLY'
Mr & Mrs. Ng were happy.

A week later, they got another letter. This time it was from Ena. The content was simple. 'NESCAFE'. So, again they took the newspaper and looked for the Nescafe ad. 'Ah! here it is. 'NESCAFE: PLEASURE TILL THE LAST DROP'. Mr. & Mrs. Ng beamed with joy.
Another week passed. A month passed. And another. There was still no letter from Ella.
The Ngs became worried.
Finally, the letter came. It was scribbled and could hardly be read, but Mrs. Ng managed to figure it out. The code-name was ' SINGAPORE AIRLINES'. Why Singapore Airlines? Mr.Ng rushed to the nearest store and got a newspaper. He flipped the pages frantically. 'Ah! Here it is!' Mrs. Ng grabbed the page and read aloud. Before she could finish ...THUMP!!!...she fell off her chair. The motto was ...'7 TIMES A WEEK. 4 TO 6 TIMES A DAY. NON-STOP'.

PAINKILLER FROM LAUGHTER

elizabeth forwarded me this email and they really made laugh..

Boss walked into the office one morning not knowing that his zipper was down.

His secretary walked up to him and asked: "Boss this morning when you left your house, did you close your gate?"

Boss was not smart enough to understand, so he went back into his office looking a bit puzzled !

When he was about done with his paper work, he suddenly noticed that his Zipper was not zipped up.

He zipped up and remembering what his secretary had told him, then boss finally understood.

He then intentionally went out to ask for a cup of coffee from his secretary.

When he reached her desk, He said: "When you saw the gate open did you see my BMW 7 series parked in there?"

The secretary smiled for a moment and said: "No, Boss I didn't. All I saw was a Kancil 600cc with 2 flat tyre".

Boss went back to his office mumering ................. Nabeh !


and here's to top it off

GF :we are so blessed to have loving people surrounding us(true,nobody is totally unloved),but sometimes we're so blind to see that we do really care for that someone. and when we finally realize it we might not have the opportunity to give our best. maybe because we then belong to someone else. but is it wrong to love someone else and keep it just to ourselve?

ME : hmmmm...can you really keep it to yourself? coz you just told me. hehe...

GF : hey! serious..

ME : ok,sure,what to do.. youu can't simply lie to your heart. just make sure you don't get emotional over it, get over it fast. it's OK to love someone else, as long as you know your limit, never hurt the one you're with..pass me the sugar.

GF : hey enough sugar..you'll get diabetes!

ME : ok fine..anyway same with love,too much of it will kill you too..in most situation,best man wins right? so may..be your past isn't really the best for you,maybe just a crush now that you just realize he could have been yours..eh,is he handsome?

GF : gorgeus!!!-giggle-

ME : crush permitted.. -giggle-

WHAT WE WIVES DO WHEN LEFT ALONE

I know..not all of us are lucky enough to have the pleasure of our husband's presence 24/7. Most of us need to manage life on our own while our other half's away working. But I've had that opportunity to have him around almost 24/7 and enjoyed it literally. He's a sweet life partner,maybe because he cooks for me(almost all the time),massage me after a long day,listen to my rambling even with his eyes shut,plus many more acts we ladies call caring,am I not pampered enough?

However recently as my husband switched to a new career,his working mode obviously changed. I'm so not used to being left on my own for more than a week. What's more if it is longer than a month? Easy said,it means my first time to go around paying bills(not that I never do it all,but it's been long),feels awkwardly 'single' again. Wonder how Mirian offshore wives manage their schooling kids and daily tasks alone. And I wonder if husbands far away ever thought about the wonder-woman left at home.

So kudos to all madam independent. You all are the pillar of men's success.

HELP ME SOLVE THE RIDDLE?

WHAT DO yoU CALL A DEER WITH NO EYES?

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU'RE ABDUCTED

This is for you,and for you to share with your wife,your children,everyone you know.

1 . Tip from Tae Kwon Do : The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!

2. If a robber asks for your wallet and / or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM .Toss it away from you....chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and / or purse than you, and he will go for the wallet / purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car,kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy.the driver won't see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc.) DON'T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE. If someone is in the car with a gun to your head DO NOT DRIVE OFF, repeat: DO NOT DRIVE OFF! Instead start the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car. Your Air Bag will save you. If the person is in the back seat they will get the worst of it. As soon as the car crashes get out and run. It is better than having them find your body in a remote location.

5 A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot,or parking garage:
A.) Be aware: look around you, look into your car, at the passenger side floor , and in the back seat
B.) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door . Some serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
C.) Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back and get someone –guard / policeman to walk you back out.
IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs.(Stairways are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot. This is especially true at NIGHT!)

7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then,it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN, Preferably in a zig -zag pattern!

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP It may get you raped, or killed.
Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking,well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathy of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked ' for help' into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.

9. Another Safety Point:
Someone just told me that her friend heard a crying baby on her porch the night before last, and she called the police because it was late and she thought it was weird. The police told her 'Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door..'

The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over. The policeman said, 'We already have a unit on the way, whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.' He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax women out of their homes thinking that someone dropped off a baby He said they have not verified it, but have had several calls by women saying that they hear baby's cries outside their doors when they're home alone at night.

CAREFUL LADIES, GUYS – TELL YOUR WOMEN ABOUT THIS
