Kompaun and Chocolate

Assalamualaikum/May peace be upon you

It is now April, and I'm starting it with a bragging post. Ini bukan trick April Fool, mahupun Trick or Treat (sekarang bukan Halloween). With that said, ini post menunjuk-nunjuk, ditulis with only one sole intention in mind, nak berlagak kepada para pembaca. (padahal follower dua org je, tu pun tak tentu lagi dia org tu nak baca *kecewa*)

Al kisah, saya belajar di Kolej Poly-Tech Mara, on average speed, 20 minit je dari rumah, tapi kalau in situations like terbangun pukul 7.50 pagi, pastu pandang dinding, baru tersedar kelas pukul 8 pagi, kepantasan untuk mandi, siap, pakai baju yang tak digosok, pastu drive ala ala McLaren, boleh lah sampai in 10 minutes. Tapi jgn contohi kegiatan bangun lambat begini, sebab semua traffic light akan diharung je, nasib baik tak pernah kena speed trap. Pastu lagi, kadang pagi-pagi traffic mengundang, sampai ada this one time, I was stuck in a jam selama sejam, class start pukul 8, tapi ini time nak cuba jadi rebel, so sengaja keluar rumah lambat, tak sangka pulak akan sangkut dekat jam, last last sampai class pukul 9.30, bukak pintu, class dah habis. Senyum kambing dekat lecturer, hulur tangan mintak attendance. Nasib baik Miss Maira bagi, jadi sign attendance pastu terus balik. Sangat terbazir minyak kereta pada hari tersebut. -.-''

Panjang pulak muqaddimah pasal college. Ni hah nak cerita, in my college (amboi MY college sangat, ingat kau punya college ke hoi!) sistem dia bukan demerit point if buat salah, tapi dia compound. Lebih kurang macam kena saman lah. Tapi kalau saman tak payah bayar lepas bertahun-tahun pun biasanya takda effect, tapi compund kalau tak bayar, nanti final exam tak boleh masuk. Padan muka kau! Tapi disebabkan saya pelajar cemerlang, gemilang, dan terbilang, tak pernah lagi kena compound. The most common cases of people that are compounded are on attires, pakai jeans kena compound, baju takda collar kena compound, pakai skirt pendek kena compound. Kadang terfikir jugak, kau tu pergi college, yang nak bantai pakai hot pants tu kejadah apa? Kau ingat ini Rasta ke? Aku pergi Rasta pun tak pakai macam tu. Oh, mungkin sebab aku pakai tudung.

Tapi anyways, the staffs that does all this compounding activities akan digelar Mak Cik Kompaun/Pak Cik Kompaun (nama tak glamor langsung). Jadi kalau students yang tak ikut attire rules ni nampak these people, dorang akan segera menukar haluan jalan. Rela ikut jalan jauh daripada lalu dekat dorang ni. Sebab kalau kena kompaun, RM10. Kalau 10 kali kena, dah RM100, habis bajet seminggu. Tak begitu? Tapi sekali lagi ingin ditegaskan, saya tidak pernah kena kompaun. Jadi sebab itu lah saya berkawan rapat dengan staff staff ini (padahal nama pun tak ingat).

Nak dijadikan cerita, minggu lepas, kolej buat kempen apa tah, tak ingat. Pastu dengan rush nak siapkan assignment, pastu bengong memikirkan final project untuk Drama Production, saya pun berlari-lari turun ke bawah, nak beli makanan sebab lapar separuh mati. Nak keluar tu, lalu dekat lobby. Tiba-tiba sorang Pak Cik Kompaun ni panggil, saya pun bila dah dipanggil, buat muka konon tenang pergi dekat dia, tapi dalam kepala hotak berfikir mungkin RM10 bakal terkorban. In that 4 seconds walk towards him, I was trying to flashback whatever I could have wore wrong yang boleh menyebabkan diri ini dikompaun.

Sekali bila sampai dekat dia, I mean beliau, beliau pun hulur chocolate bar, atas tu ada tulis "Terima kasih kerana mematuhi peraturan pemakaian KPTM". Pak cik tu senyum besar gila, saya pun berbangga sebab rasa macam pelajar yang sangat baik pada hari tersebut. Haha. Kesimpulannya, ikut lah peraturan. Seronok sebenarnya jadi budak baik kadang-kadang. Ohoho.

That's all I have for now, sila jangan complain sebab masa terbazir membaca post ni, I have warned you that this post is gonna be pointless. Okay dah, selamat tinggal.

Terima kasih for taking your time to read. :)

Rumah Pelacuran and Sex Scenes.

Assalamualaikum/May peace be upon you

Tadi I was watching Buletin Utama and saw a news on this one so-called budget hotel that doubles up as rumah pelacuran. And as Malaysians, hearing news like this is no surprise. I mean, come on lah, not trying to be a stereotype, tapi when we walk around Chow Kit ke, or Lorong Haji Taib ke, bila nampak je these "budget" hotels, boleh agak dah memang they offer services like pelacur, or more often than never, rumah urut.

And the Malaysian government have a law against people offering these services. Senang cerita, kalau tempat-tempat ni kantoi, the pengusaha as well as all the workers will be imprisoned or sent back to their own country. (Ni kalau pendatang haram lah, kalau memang warganegara nak hantar mana pulak lah kan? Penjara jelah duduknya.)

Tapi yang peliknya, kenapa kalau orang duduk dating dekat taman tu orang biar je? Takda siapa pun nak tangkap? What they're doing is still maksiat jugak kan? Only that they're doing it in an open place and of course, they have their clothes on. But still, it's still haram, ain't it? Unless lah kalau these people are already engaged and have a muhrim to accompany them, if you get what I mean. Which in most happenings are not the case.

Lepas tu lagi, something that I find funny is that right after Buletin Utama ended, a telemovie started, and the best part, ada lah scenes peluk-peluk, which was acted by supposed-to-be Muslim actors/actresses. So where's the logic in this? Just because the pelacurs on the news were doing ehem-ehem in an enclosed place in Jalan Petaling, then they should be arrested and convicted of a crime, tapi these people yang act as lovers, hugs and touches each other in front of a million audiences are just doing their job?

Mungkin these filmmakers mengambil prinsip that because there are a lot of audiences watching the film/movie, so the people yang berdating and stuffs bukan sedang berdua-duaan? Ya, ada kemungkinan di situ. But I'm just unable to make sense of these.

Then in Ramadhan, they'll have these serbuan or tangkapan to stop people from dating dekat taman-taman. But these operations only happen in the holy month of Ramadhan. Kenapa buat masa Ramadhan? Sebab benda ni haram, and Ramadhan kan bulan puasa, so tak boleh buat. Habis tu other months these doings are halal? Eh tak faham lah! *emo lebih pulak aku ni*

And if there is any soul who happens to understand what's going on with our country, or better yet, our understanding of our own religion, then please do enlighten me.

Kutuk and Advise.

Assalamualaikum/May peace be upon you

I'm sure a lot of us know about Amalina Che Bakri and her so-called culture shock experience, which by now should be yesterday's story already. And before that there was Adinda Evans, in which if you don't know about these two people, boleh google or something. Oh come on, like I really have to tell you that. Make use of the technologies that we have lah kan. *ter-overreact pulak*

Anyway, sebenarnya one question that I have been asking myself since I first heard of Amalina's story is this,"Kenapa dia pakai macam tu jadi issue? It's not like it has never been done by anyone else before her kan?". But because she's like a supposedly role-model because of her outstanding SPM achievement dulu, she's put in the spotlight.

Lepas tu there's the story of Adinda Evans, where she blogged about her life and the stuffs she did. Stuffs tu faham-faham lah sendiri ye? Tapi kalau tak faham jugak or if you're curious to know the details about it, like I said earlier, sila gunakan kemudahan Encik Google. It's not like you have to pay to use the service pun kan? Hikhik. Okay dah terkeluar topik!

Where was I? Oh, Adinda Evans, about her pulak, macam terfikir jugak, where was her parents when she did everything that she said she did? How true is the story pun kita tak taw kan? For all we know, this girl mungkin just nak attention so she wrote all those things. Possible kan? Okay maybe tak possible *malu* but still, how many of you can actually prove that she actually did those things? Takda kan? Kan? Kan?!

Macam panjang sangat je my attempt at muqaddimah to introduce these people. Tapi yang pasti, after these people punya cerita keluar, ramai pulak preacher-wannabes yang nak tegur their doings. Memang lah the act of tegur diorang ni betul, tapi do you really have to do it in public? Like dekat comment section dekat youtube video Amalina or worse still, pergi pulak buat another post dekat blog sendiri lepas tu cerita lah macam-macam pasal diorang.

Tak kisah lah if you want to tegur them, tapi buat lah cara baik. Atau lebih afdal, cara halus (bukan guna sihir ye, itu khurafat!). Like Imam Syafie once said, "Jika kamu menegur saudaramu dalam sembunyi, maka kamu telah menjalankan tanggungjawabmu, sebaliknya jika kamu menegurnya di khalayak umum, maka kamu telah membogelkannya di depan orang ramai." Jadi before we tegur them, we should set in mind that our intention adalah untuk jalankan tanggungjawab, not strip them naked. Makanya, tegur lah in a good way like write her a letter or something? Tak pun doakan je that one day Allah bagi petunjuk untuk dia sendiri berubah.

I mean come on, take commenting on the youtube video as an example, it's not like Amalina is going to read every single one of them pun kan? And blog-blog tu, macam lah Adinda Evans tu nak baca semua posts yang mention nama dia. Diorang dah memang dosa dengan Allah sebab buat what they did, tapi you people yang tak semena-mena nak kutuk-kutuk diorang tu, tak dosa lah pulak? At least dosa diorang, they can taubat and with Allah's will, dah hilang those sins, but kita ni, dosa sesama manusia, Allah pun takkan maafkan sebelum the person yang kita buat salah tu maafkan kita dulu.

And this goes to everyone else jugak lah, not just pasal Amalina and Adinda Evans ni. I'm just using them as example. Like the celebrities, the politicians, or even our friends ke, if we want to correct them, buat lah in private, don't humiliate them in public. Imagine people talking of your flaws in public, confirm rasa malu berbaur marah semua ada kan? Just remember one thing, yang betul tu mengumpat, yang salah tu fitnah. Either way, both are gonna contribute sin to ourselves.

Tapi don't get me wrong, bukan nak cakap that what they did was right, because basically dulu time sekolah, when one of my teacher used to tell us to make Amalina our idol, like our slightest mistakes pun ada cikgu tu nak cakap "macam mana nak jadi pelajar cemerlang kalau perangai pun tak elok?" And now look at her, rasa macam nak pergi dekat cikgu tu and say "IN YOUR FACE, hah!" Tapi come on lah, we're better than this. Kalau tak better pun pretend jelah we're better than this, kan rasa lebih dignified bila letak diri one level higher than another person? Haha.

Apapun, like hello, she got freaking 17 A's! Pandai tahap apa pun tak tahu lah kan. But she has her flaws as well, as the pepatah Melayu or perumpamaan or simpulan bahasa, eh I don't know lah what exactly it is! Tapi it goes, "yang baik dijadikan panduan, yg buruk dijadikan sempadan". Jadi dengan menggunakan sedikit kepandaian akal dan campurkan dengan a whole lot of common sense, we should be able to distinguish what to emulate from her and what to avoid. Simple as that kan?

And as for the people yang kena tegur, including me, kalau orang tegur tu, jangan lah marah. Paling mangkuk ayun are people that bila orang tegur, dia pergi cakap "kau pun tak perfect, nak tegur orang pulak." Pantang nenek moyang cucu cicit jiran belakang rumah aku kalau orang cakap macam ni! Hoi, orang tegur sebab orang sayang kau lah! Kalau orang tegur suruh pakai tudung ke, solat ke, siapkan homework ke, whatever lah that they tegur, it's because that person sayang gila dekat kau, kalau dia tak sayang, dia biar je kau buat salah, buat dosa semua tu!

*lima minit kemudian*

Sorry, terpaksa berhenti kejap tadi untuk tenangkan diri. Maklumlah, kadang-kadang emosi menguasai jiwa. Mohon maaf zahir dan batin ye. *sambil hulur tangan menunggu duit raya* Apapun, kepada mereka-mereka yang suka cakap ayat seperti di atas setiap kali ditegur, I only have one piece of advice for you ; kalau nak tunggu yang sempurna je untuk tegur, malaikat jelah yang mampu.

Whatever it is, remember that there's a fine line between meng-kutuk and meng-advise (it's mengutuk actually), so before we talk to them, be certain of our intention and the way we're conveying them it so as to not deliver the wrong message. Okay?

That's all I have for now. Terima kasih for taking your time to read. :)
