Trapped

It was a lovely day filled with beautiful smile, delightful words, big bright sun that give a tight warm hug. Kind of wonderful day that gear up your excitement.. mmm..

.. just to be a bit dramatic in presenting some contradictory scenario between a perfect scenes and what was really happened on that day. I was alone trapped inside a 4x7 dark elevator last few days back. It was hell of a horrible 25-minute of experience, fear of being restricted in a small place and also fears of suffocation. It was just not my day. Everything went malfunction, the alarm, the support lighting as well as the ventilation. I called some friend to inform about my situation and start to cool myself down. I sat down, talk to myself and start to pray. Something that we need to do in that situation, else we might end up having claustrophobia, start to sweat and eventually choked to death. At least those are some of what runs inside my head during the situation. Nevertheless, I was extremely grateful with the effective and efficient response by the Security personnel and maintenance people. Within 25 minutes the door to the elevator was unlocked from outside with ease. It was an electricity breakdown on the whole campus due to technical problem with our GDC. 

I received and apologizing remarks via my cell phone by the Maintenance people but a routine checking on the elevator should provide a freedom of discomfort should there be any cases of trapped-in-an-elevator again. The ventilation, support light and alarm should be in function with no excuses. That was my message to him.

Could you imagine being alone inside the small, dark hole inside your grave? It does cross my mind for an obvious reason while being trapped inside the elevator. Allah (subhaanahu wa ta'aala), praise and glory be to Him, and Him only..

P/s - Nora was so worried, I could 'smell' it from the choices of word she uttered and uncomfortable tone of voices...

Which One‘s Which??

Not long ago, I wrote something about Namewee’s Nasi Lemak 2.0. I wrote about his easy access to see Pak Menteri Nazriwee and how he can get away in promoting his 1Malaysia, better Malaysian for future generation so-called movie. It was a so ‘patriotic’ movie that most ‘Australian born Malaysian and somehow most migrating Malaysian in other countries’ had a long queue waiting and wanting to buy the cinema tickets. Read here. The controversial movie was eventually released in Malaysia and nothing dreadful things happen. Namewee cool, Nazriwee pleased and other Malaysian also happy. 

Recently, there was this yet-to-be-released movie entitled ‘Tanda Putera’ that sparked an issue which is quite similar with the Nasi Lemak. But this time, it was a Malaysian history movie spinning around on the tragedy of 13^th May 1969 and is directed by a Malay (a talented Shumi Baba – remember Maya’s Pontianak?). Again, the local and the ‘Australian born Malaysian and somehow most migrating Malaysian in other countries’ made fuss on the illicit and explicit contents of the movie with intention to make it fail, big time. Words were going around and mStar reported on July 19 that the movie’s release would be delayed to an unspecified date. The genuine story of the tragedy was not truly reflected, they said?? Mmm.... reflected my ass!! It will only be reflected if the story of any story is directed and casted by the ‘Australian born Malaysian and somehow most migrating Malaysian in other countries’. After all, the movie has been 30% ‘discounted’ by Dato’ Rais sampai logo 55 tahun Merdeka pun dah tersilap tampal. You won’t see the whole story pun, jangan la risau. Takkan ada pekikan-pekikan ‘Malay Si, ‘lancau’ dsbgnya cos’ most of it has been censored. Then, why want to delay the release of this movie? Kenapa la nak jaga hati sangat the ‘Australian born Malaysian and somehow most migrating Malaysian in other countries’ tu? Bak kata Leman Raja Lawak... “tak paham aku??”

Release, release, release in full as what the majority wants it (rather than concentrating in Bishop Ng Moon Hin or Dong Zong minority’s demands). No more carrot and time to ply the stick.

P/s – Dunno which one is genuine now, but yang Hana Tajima's look-a-like tu so damn cute..

 

 

Tragedi I, II & Sangka Baik

Auntie next door’s house was broken into on last Saturday while she and her husband went out of town. Another next door neighbor did complain about couple of people mooching around at the back of the house for the last a week or so. I did some security checking and always on the light after 11pm onward.

Guess what? The robber(s) came and robs from the front door. Fuckin’ courageously and daring move by these so called break-in robbers nowadays. I’m putting deep thot in getting the house alarmed.

My wife who made the police report grumble against the police who did not do any CSI’s kinda investigation to the house. I responded spontaneously “What do you expect?” Sounded harsh and insensitive but true enough cos’ we the neighbors should be the eyes and ears to PDRM in preventing cases. When it happens, not much we can do anymore. I guess auntie next door understands these and she smile.


TRAGEDY II

My tears flowed slowly down my cheek. I just couldn't explain this feeling exactly other than a hard stamped kinda contraction in my heart. For the longest time, I had been in a state of ok-ness but today seeing those pics, I just couldn't bear it anymore. I'm emotionally down.

It was sad to hear a muddy landslide hit Rumah Anak2 Yatim At-Taqwa that buried 25 orphanage and claimed life 16 of them. At this moment, no nice words could console father (or mother), relatives, everyone when this kind of tragedy happened. There’s no need to pinpoint, blame others either in investigating the cause of this mishap. It’s preventive that matter most. Related agency, Fire Dept, JPS, JAKIM, JAIS, anyone, please ensure enforcement and shut down building and premises located in a danger zone. Or on the other hand, be it the owner of an orphanage no-profit building or architect to a hi-status hilly tower, please decide on the definition of danger and act accordingly. Grieving should take precedence over blame, but please seek for preventive measurement in doing stuff.


SANGKA BAIK

Kepada ibu bapa anak2 yang terkorban, bersabarlah kerana anda telah meninggalkan anak2 yang soleh yang akan menunggu anda di depan pintu syurga, InsyaAllah. Bersangka baiklah dengan Allah kerana setiap dugaan yang diberikan ada hikmahnya. Berdoalah dengan doa nabi Hidhir yang memohon Allah melembutkan dugaan yang mendatang dan pujuklah diri sendiri dari bersangka buruk kepada Allah kerana setiap dugaan adalah penghapus kepada dosa-dosa.

Al Fatihah..

P/s - Kepada adik2 yang terkorban, InsyaAllah jihad untuk adik2 semua. Mungkin di sana lebih baik untuk adik2 daripada berada di dunia ini.
