Mirenida Rights

  • You have the right to remain silent.
  • Anything you say or do can and will be held against you in a court of life in which everybody is a judge.
  • You have the right to an attorney.
  • If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you at a cost of course, as the only thing free is the air you breathe and cheap t-shirts given by those ‘fishing’ politicians.
  • You have the right to write.
  • If you cannot write, others who are all judges will write the verdict for you and all over you.
  • You will be denied of any investigation and will be granted no chance of a trial.
  • You will also be provided with nothing; not  a chance to make mistakes, to cough it out, let alone to have hiccups.
  • And even in silence, what you don’t say or don’t do can and will be used against nobody nobody but you.

 

So help me dog god. For I am blind.

Sembunyi-Sembunyi

Posted in Sense on August 24, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Wahai saudaraku yang kukasihi, jikalau datang kepadamu dua orang anak…
Satu nya datang hampir sekali ke sisimu seraya menepuk-nepuk perutnya kerana kekenyangan, sedang yang satu nya menjauhimu seraya menepuk-nepuk perutnya namun malu akan kelaparannya — anak yang mana kah akan kamu terpanggil untuk memberi nya makan? Apakah yang sedang kekenyangan hanya kerana dia itu datang kepadamu?

.

Anak yang mana kah pada perkiraanmu akan lebih menghargai makanan yang kamu sedekah kan?

.

Maka yang demikian jua lah peganganku terhadap ‘Duit Raya’ yang kita anggap sedekah. Aku lebih sanggup mencari anak-anak yang serba tak punya, dan bersembunyi kerana malu akan kemiskinannya… daripada memberi wang kepada anak-anak yang serba ada tetapi meminta-minta. Biar lah dicemik, biar lah diejek, bahawa aku di matamu, tidak pandai membahagiakan hati kanak-kanak di hari kebesaran. Pemberian yang telah aku hulurkan dalam diam, tinggal lah dalam diam. Sembunyikan lah tangan kiri ku ini.

.

Tuhan Maha Melihat.

Pelat dan Terencat

Posted in Facebook, Language, Sense on August 13, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Kalau lah komentar-komentar di Facebook itu saya baca betul-betul mengikut ejaan yang digunakan penulisnya, ramai benar rakan-rakan dan kenalan Facebook saya yang sama ada pelat atau terencat.

.

Contoh:

Law ko ad mse, jom r kt g param kt ipo bble nk?

Kalau kau ada masa, jom lah kita pergi Pasar Ramadhan dekat Ipoh bila-bila nak?

.

Oh tomeiiii nya tucin u ni. Tomeiii tangat.

Oh comel nya kucing you ni. Comel sangat.

.

Susah betul rasanya untuk saya hormati orang-orang yang ambil mudah soal bahasa. Dan tak dapat saya bayangkan bagaimana malangnya nasib generasi akan datang yang ber-ibubapa kan mereka yang terencat dan tak pandai mengeja ini.

.

Facebook bukan lah lagi tempat ‘suka-suka’ kerana ia merupakan sebahagian besar dalam kehidupan kita sekarang. Setiap tabiat kita di Facebook akan menjadi kebiasaan dan menjadi identiti kita, mahu tidak mahu, sedar atau tidak.

.

Kalau bahasa itu jiwa bangsa, bahasa yang bagaimana kah yang kita gunakan dalam pertuturan harian? Adakah kita bercakap pelat kerana kita rasa comel bercakap seperti kanak-kanak berumur 2 tahun begitu? Kalau bahasa itu jiwa bangsa, yang kita tulis di status Facebook itu bukan bahasa?

.

Di universiti di Russia, terdapat Jabatan Bahasa Melayu yang mengkaji dan mengajar Bahasa Melayu kepada penutur bahasa lain. Dan penuntutnya fasih menutur dan menulis dalam Bahasa Melayu. Itu di Russia. Tak usah lah saya sebut apa yang ada di England, America dan Australia. Apa alasan kita bila ejaan kita sesingkat akal kita?

.

Kalau anda sedang memikirkan alasan nya sekarang, bahawa Facebook itu hanyalah suka-suka dan main-main, dan bahawa bahasa singkat, pelat dan terencat yang kita guna kan itu sekadar mengisi waktu bosan… benar lah jangkaan saya. Orang kita memang hebat beralasan.

It’s very simple how words can change our attitude. Bila saya tengok banyak benar orang merungut malas nak pergi kerja, saya mengaku saya pun kadang-kadang rasa cenggitu. Tapi Mak saya pesan, kerja tu jalan rezeki yang Tuhan dah bagi untuk kita. Jadi, kalau kita kata kita malas nak kerja, sama lah jugak ibaratnya kalau kita kata, “Malas nya nak cari rezeki.”  Ishhh tak sanggup pulak berkata begitu. Sesungguhnya kata-kata itu adalah doa.

When someone calls you and complains, listen. Don’t argue. Don’t make them wrong. As long as you can remain neutral, you will resolve the issue and win a friend. This same principle works in every aspect of your life. It may be a challenge to do, because you have to keep your ego in check. You’ll want to be right. Regardless of whether you are, be quiet. You’ll win the argument if you don’t argue. Besides, arguing just escalates the argument. Neither of you will win, and you’ll lose a customer or friend or mate for life.

Merely Here

Posted in Monchies, Sense, tagged on June 25, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Being happy doesn’t have to be expensive.

Here I am, a kampung girl, running around selling t-shirts for mere few hundred dollars. The mere hundred dollars that keep me with the love of my life, whom I am raising to be as kind as I can possibly be, as kind as they can possibly be. Kind, warm, happy and alive. At the end of the day, yes… we will all die alone. But it is how we will be remembered that we are creating now. Not later.

Because You’re It

Posted in Reading, Sense on April 24, 2012| Leave a Comment »

It was an idea I read many many years ago. In fact, it was one of the very first ideas I read in English. I must have been only eleven or twelve then. A long time ago. Too long to remember, and yet not long enough to forget.

.

It was a belief that there is one answer to all WHY questions that cannot be reasoned.

.

Like…

  • why do people go to the moon?
  • why do men go to prostitutes?
  • why do kids love junk food?
  • why do people climb the mountains?
  • why do women nag?
  • why do children eat their snot?

.

The answer is:

Because they can. And because it’s there.

.n

Why do people go to the moon? Because they can, and because the moon is there. If the moon isn’t there, no one can go to the moon. Why do men go to prostitutes? Because they can. And because the prostitutes are available even when they are not legal. They are there. Ever so ready. Why do kids love junk food? Because they can. Parents are okay with it. And because the junk food is just there, in the pantry!

.

I think you know where I am going with the other three questions.

.

And if you ask me why I love you, the answer is, because I can.
Because you are there. Not here.

😦

Chance Mali Chance

Selamat pagi, Puan Rrr…Ro… ssl…errr… xhxzvwqtkdg… errr… Enai… errr… Enai… errr… Eni… da… di mana  saya Saiful Abdul Malik daripada TM Telekom ya puan, di mana saya buat panggilan untuk memaklumkan pihak puan di mana puan telah terpilih kerana puan adalah pelanggan setia kami di mana dengan itu kami di TM Telekom berbesar hati untuk memberikan puan mata ganjaran di mana setiap ringgit yang puan bayar sebagai bil produk dan perkhidmatan kami, puan akan menerima satu mata ganjaran di mana mata ganjaran ini puan boleh redeem dengan pelbagai barangan yang TM tawarkan di mana dengan itu juga melayakkan puan untuk menerima satu lagi tawaran dari TM di mana puan akan dilindungi di bawah plan perlindungan di mana plan ini…

.

Encik Saiful Abdul Malik meneruskan penjelasan beliau selama hampir setengah jam. Tapi dalam hati, saya sibuk menyanyi lagu ini:

.

“Di mana dia anak kambing saya,
anak kambing saya makan rumput di padang;
di mana dia cinta hati saya,
cinta hati saya yang kuat temberang”.

Hope Fool

Posted in Inside Enida, Sense on March 2, 2012| Leave a Comment »

It was the first time I heard of such concept, such belief. But it probably has a lot to do with the law of attraction. Bibik told me, where she comes from, the people believe that once a husband or a wife utters the hopelessness and the intention for a divorce, until divorce happens… life in the household is cursed by the utterance.

.

I was taken aback for good five minutes to reflect on my present life — and my previous life. Ya, semua orang ada cerita lama. In a way, I was trying to recall if I ever mentioned the big D to B. (Yeah, and then X to make it to DBX in Dubai, huh? I am so lah derailed right now, it’s not even funny.) Anyway, the concept of “…fate that is governed by intention and words that we send out to the universe…” is right there!

.

Perhaps that is why I have been extremely cautious with the words I use, though I am not from West Java. As much as I can… as a human, I try to be positive — thinking of positive possibilities, and using positive verbal and non-verbal languages. And in all that I think, do or say, perfection is not my goal. I can never be perfect. Because if I were perfect, God would ‘product-recall’ me from the shelves.

.

With my good memory, I know for sure that I left with good thoughts and good words. Even now, call me a fool, but I am still full of hope. I still utter good words with the best of intentions. Because the best is yet to happen. The ending is a chapter in itself. Given time, I believe that we might walk the same paths with different feel. And that… my friend, is not a new concept. Nor it is from West Java.
