Humans Forgotten
Abdullah Anik Misra explained that the Qur’an expresses the word “heart” using different Arabic words at different times; these can mostly be summed up as the Arabic words qalb, fuaad and lubb. Since in the Arabic language, there is no such thing as an exact synonym, there are subtle differences in the root meanings and indications given by the different words that must be understood if one wants to understand the nuances of the Qur’anic message. Nuances or not, heart or qalb is prominent in the Quran.
Unfortunately, it is not prominent anymore in the world we live in. 'I just don't have the heart', a famous song by Sir Cliff Richard is one of the many songs that talks about the heart being central to love, decisions, longings and etc. However, do we see it anymore.. the referring to the heart or the qalb in doing things, tasks, jobs, businesses?
Not much, sometimes, not even a little and usually when we do show heart, the dollar smell or feel just cannot be shut out from the decision. Thus our current show of heart is not really the actual god given heart but rather pre-conditioned, stimulus and response based that nullified our god given ability, the one true thing that according to Covey, sets us apart from other beings, the ability to decide on how we want to behave in reaction to any circumstances. It is in these decisions that if we follow the origin of humans, the heart will surface and our decisions will be liberating not only to us but all that we can touch.

Teachers
Culturally unacceptable student behaviors in school environment has become alarmingly high about which many people are concerned. Any sane person would believe that the steady growth of these trends will damage the education system and of based on the domino effect, the country.. I believe that you can find the reasons of this disorder in our educational environments and non-qualified teachers rather than the students' own issues.
It is strongly proven that the atmosphere has a significant effect on human reactions. Low air quality standards, lacking of air conditioning, insufficient space for playing, crowded environments are some examples that scientists have proven to be linked to students’ behavior. I would like to point out to the many many many 'don't' or 'jangan's' or 'cannot's' that can bee seen or heard filling up the school environment. Not only that these words are natural creativity killers, they are also strong silent challenges for the students to do the absolute opposite.The reason is that students are young and energetic and are natural sponges for information; factual or emotional ones thus governments should modify school standards and allocate more subsidies to school managers to reorganize the facilities and space and also to change the shape of our educational area from an office to a calm place for our students together with banning or reducing the words and phrases I mentioned earlier.
And, importantly.. check the teachers, are they interested to be teachers, will they enjoy teaching etc,...

Our heroes
In the old days, the heroes would be straight forward good noble gentlemen. They would fight fair, be curt though sometimes possessing rough exteriors but never, never ever can they be associated with anything remotely negative. The heroes of the old days would be shown in great torments if they have to decide between fighting for one brother or a good friend for the throne of a kingdom or to tell the wife that he will have to fight hundreds of marauders the day after instead of staying home with her. It was as clear as daylight then and still crystal clear now that they are good human with crystal hearts.
Heroes were like that in the old days because society demanded it to be like that. We do not have many clear cut heroes anymore and if we do, if we're talking movies here, probably they won't sell as well.
Why so? Why are we living in constant need of fallen heroes, gangsters as heroes, thieves as heroes (remember Clint Eastwood in Blondie trilogy or Michael Douglas in Wall Street) or even ghosts as heroes? We, well rather most of us would claim that we are mature enough to know that humans are not perfect and thus heroes should also be imperfect.
Imperfection, imperfection in God's creation? Well even if I do agree on the imperfection issue, why must imperfection equals bad, negative or not kind?
Friends, heroes have changed because of our demands. we demanded the change and the stories and the movies followed suit. Society have decided on the kind of preferred heroes wanted.
Maybe, our society is too bad that we want our heroes to be bad too so that we will fill good after all the bad things that we have done. All the lies,the corruption, the abuse of power, the killings, the hoardings...
We really do then deserve evil doers as our heroes as maybe we see ourselves in him.

The heart of the matter
We are cleansed being. We are given all to take, govern and enjoy on this blessed earth. We have everything but there are many who simply cannot, i say cannot because it is not fathomable that humans, as all of us are, would not be able to discern crap from blooming flowers.
That, is the way it is now. Most of us would constantly allow ourselves to be engulfed with crap, 24/7 and yet with some rotten logic, expect to smell like roses. There is no logic that can explain happiness and thus that is the main reason on why crappy people, no matter how rich like madoff, how powerfull like hitler, how influential like bush, can never be happy and thus will try to fill ther insatiable lust with more money, more blood and more power.
Be true,
Be just,
Be brave to protect both and happiness will cradle you even in the last grasp of air before death.

Power
People have kileed millions and will continue to do so, for power. There are of course many categories and links that can be connect with power, etc. Money, posts, influence...
It is a big challenge in any situation. We shoul reserve our comments until we are in the position of power. Nonetheless, most o the time power corrupts and a great many times, it corrupts absolutely. It is not a sin to want power, but you can easily sin if you have it. Thus, want it not, just be your good self and if it comes to you in any forms, respect and cherish it as a loan from a good friend.
If it beceomes too unberable not have it, watch the many incarnataions of the power rangers and better yet, wear the tee shirts.

Life's gift
We are alive and that is the first reason we should sing thanks and praise to our creator. We are also, well most of us are relatively healthy. One more reason to be nice and thankful.
Our country is peaceful and we can work well, travel safe, eat, drink be merry and the list goes on and it is a very very long list.
I feel bad now, if I have to complain or listen to others complain because, really, life is just a blast for me and so should most of us.
Be happy, try to be, look happy. Look around us... be thankful and be happy.

Friends
Friends.
Need to have a lot of them. Need to have a lot of the ones that u can count on. Funny, usually people do not have many of these. Usually, people who have few of these important friends aren't really that friendly themselves.
It always takes two to tango.
You reap what you sow
and get usually what you give.
That's life.
If you want friends, be friendly.
If you want to have good helpful friends, be one yourself.
But that's just me saying it, so it is the truth.

Walking Away
Well,
Turned out that the many hideous semi gangsters looking after the street thought that my mate's matric card was his cop id card. Luck, pure luck got us through the day. To think, outnumbered, out iron barred, outshouted, hmm just about everything but we were just there and luck was on our side.
Luck oh dear luck, the banshee was also still there and dared enough to give my Gentle giant the look and to cap it off, he was kinda giving back a somewhat interested feedback look. I pulled everyone back and cautiously left the place vowing never to return fearing the possibility of looking at my friends nauseating reply look to the banshee's sexual inquest.
The next day.
Nobody talked about it. The whole day in class and not a word except a remider bybthe instigator of the incident that we better pray before we have our lunch. A sudden religious outburst by my formerly 'let' have fun' mate. Well, well, good things do come out of shitty things sometimes. We prayed together for the first time in 9 months of friendship.

Bullying Tactics
This is a rugby explanation on the use of the wings by the Springboks by an All Black. "They don't use him the way we would - they kick and then hope their wings run and knock the ball back and then applaud them for doing a good job. This is also exactly true in debating. People think that the debate starts when the speaking starts. Nope. It starts when the website is out. People especially bullies with long arms will start jockeying for positions of power from the selection of DCA’s all the way to the motions and deep into who they will sit next to during the briefings.
We should expect debaters like rugby bullies South Africa, to try to put us under pressure with anything available under the sun. However, if they do not do that well then our counter attack is pretty good and we are looking to punish them but counter, the word ‘counter’ denotes preparatory strategies.
We need to look at the styles of our opponents and not only ours. Like the Boks who like to run hard, try to smash and bully people, they are physical and like having big cleanouts. We need know that it is going to happen and in the old famous words of Sean Connery as Malone in ‘The Untouchables’, “What are ye prepared to dou?”
Every team has their structures and game plan and though we should be sticking to the one we have in place we need to seriously look into what’s on the other side’s plate. There are no limits within the structures, and having prepared for the best horse for the course we should be encouraged to play what is in front of us.
Thus the aims were still to build in major areas and put some polish this week on the set-piece like returning POI’s and rebutting to ensure some ready- made strategies in attack and defense.
"It is a matter of trying to add a bit of sophistication to what we are doing," the famous Omar Sallahuddin said.
"Often you don't know what you need to work on until you have a bit of a trial tourney and we've done that now."
The trick was starting again, in a new tourney building toward Worlds and WUPID taking it all logically as the coaches introduced some of their new concepts to their squad.
Logically, the universal accepted features must be spot on together with some strategies based on possible opponents, some hassle and diplomatic tactics as well as good ol’ lots of trainings.

Democratic Bull
We went back in and to a big heep of suprise, one of my mates was berating the formerly ironrod holding monster and his some big and some small friends.
They came back with their reluctant'tyco' and elderly teacher like chinese gentlemen and lo and behold, we got back 80% of the money that the gentle giant lost. Feeling strong and under appreciated, I started shouting some almost obscene words and phrases with some inrudimentary chinese, my mate glared a nervous glare that somehow told me to keep a lid on it and just maintain the right posture.
We got the money, turned, the mate who apprently became our leader that night, shouted a quiet shout and all of us walked away safe. How'd this happen?
As students, we have matric card and as students we should treat it better than AMEX.

The Decision
The brain suddenly cleared and great vision appeared, the iron rod holder directly to my left was just a kid, a few years shy of me, a few inches shorter and most importantly, a few significant sizes smaller. He accidently jumped onto my right fist and my helmet at the same time. Foolish boy and a gap appeared whence before the unfortunate boy was standing. I went for the gap with the gentle giant in tow.
It wasn't particularly a long dash out to other side of the building, even the gentle giant was going at it at a speed usually reserved for avoiding death, etc. The long period was spent at the other side, where we were safe, uninjured, safe road home, image intact, but the gentle giant was somewhat solemn.
He said, "Bu, what about them?" The look, his expression, here was a guy who was scared to death and he still wanted to go back in there, facing the iron rods because of his friends, my friends. Damn it, felt really embarrased leaving them now.
Am goin in, back in, mind sending litany of logical explanation not to do so but his look of scared determination pushed me into doing it. We went back in + one discarded brick and newspaper around our waist to shell the body a bit against knives and iron rod hits.

The Return of the Banshee
Woi! Wooi!
Apa Woi!
Feeling just slightly stronger than Hercules, chest muscle expanded and fist clenched in a perfect unknown old hybrid ninja + kung fu stance, I ... I thought I saw the banshee again.
Well.. It was the banshee alright with slight physical difference or a more literal dpeiction of brute men with iron rods, you got it right, IRON RODS, the type that will make you cry like the sweetest banshee if they touched any part of your body.
Muscle reducing its size and stature at a ridiculous rate. What would Rambo had done. I looked aroung in a flash, and the thought formulated in my mind. Rambo, well more like the Mambo Kings, exit strategy. There were two exits, I will kick the Bear nearest to me slightly to the left of the cowering gentle giant, throw my helmets to the 2 brutes on my right and run over them with the gentle giant in tow. What would then happen to my other mates, a thin but clear thought formed in my mind, they've got their helmets and I need to move now.
Faster than the fastest of Jacky Chan's moves, two helmets, one red and one black, both pretty shiny, were flying in the general direction of our over advantaged, iron rod holding, trouble maker by birth, pagoda single wearing, would be assailants or possibly angel of death. Brilliant, I guess my telephatic powers must have described the same strategy to my mates.
This would be more than tricky as men and iron rods started coming towards my well scupted head.

The situation
I felt cool, I walked, I talked and I was gently told to peeees off. I felt stupid, I flexed my muscle in my mind, flexed them in reality and reality talked back to me. "There, there and there" reality pointed to my reducing mucsle and courage of the other even cooler looking guys who were starting to give me the look. The look that I have seen before, the kind of look that would warrant you to look around for other people to be behind you giving the other guys the look.
Being beaten up especially here alone with the gentle giant was sure not going to be fun and all smiles but there's something about being labelled a coward that made me shout my "I'm not a coward neither am I afraid of you shout' at them. Strangely though, my Bahasa Melayu sounded a little bit too formal and the intonation too much kindergardenlike.
Yabu! Turning around, Yep. Reinforcement. Not all able bodied men but they have with them with shiny looking head busting helmets. I shouted the same shout, intonation perfect, the lanugage foul and nauseating.

Epicentre Continues
There was something in the voice that was both annoying and funny. Obligated due ton instant recognition with a new wallet in my back pocket, I turned.
My gentle giant mate was frantically waving and making unclear Latin statements. I got 'wallet', 'money', 'lost' and 'dad' with a word lacking a consonant with 'ill' or 'eel'.
'My dad is going to kill me' he blurted. Finally, I was able to calm him down and due to his size I had to put 3 and 3 together in quite a difficult fashion. The explanation was seemingly innocent. he was looking at a few innocent looking men doing some innocent gambling when he innocently joined and somehow innocently a man reach for the money in his wallet and innocently placed an innocent bet that was innocently declared the losing bet. Simple. It was innocent. The dad would definitely understand.
My foot you spoiled squirt. I actually slapped him. Well a brotherly and concern like slap. Our eyes met and if she were a girl, the meeting of the eyes would be enough to build a marriage on. 'I'll get your money back. Just don't cry'. Well, what now?

The Epicentre
As I stared at the strange looking woman with a hedious sexy outfit, a recognizable odour came to me. It was rather layered but instantly understood. People must have done a lot after consumption business at this 'longkang'.
The woman purred but purred ugly so ugly that the sexy outfit image was lost in a flash and I wanted to just leave. Wow! Cheap wallets and cheap whatever. I focused on the inspiring scene of cheap stuff from a trader with a beautiful sidekick.
The communicative art of the bargain needed studious mind as the price would go up and down in minutes and you need to offer at the right time to get the right item or items with the right price. The other communicative soothing posture was the beautiful girl who would wrap the stuff bought and purposely hold the hand of the buyer for a fraction of a second and a fraction longer if the items were not really kind in price as in function or usability.
I timed my offer to perfection and got me a nice wallet for RM 4. The skin connection between me and the girl could not even be considered a fraction I guess.
Yabu!Yabu! ...

The Banshee
Woi! Cilakak.
Haven't heard that phrase in years and to think, this is dead centre in KL, well it is dead and centre. I must have or maybe one of my mates had commited something to the decidedly veteran lady of the night.
My mates were focused to the task at hand. They needed to find a table with six holes to put coloured and numbered balls in them. Me, realizing seemingly extra late was in for my bike and of course paper money that the Gov. had injected in my account at the most imporatnt time in my life. When I had no more of those gold replacement in my wallet, pockets and drawers. Now, a bit angry but more so bemused that I was directed into this particular channel of decision, I smirked and hissed to myself, "sometimes shit happens". That it happened on top of me was the most bemusing factor. The guys were aiming to play snooker in Lorong Haji Taib as it was the cheapest place in town. dangerous ugly place and even more so when I do not even play the game but I was ...
I was not going to let them have all the fun at my expense. 'Woi! Cilakak.
Twice in a day after years of not hearing it could even wake up a comatose dude. "Lu apa mau?"

The plot Thickens or may even be chickens
I woke up. Happy, assignments done, birds were singing, paper notes in my wallet and the memory of the words by a beautiful girl, "you have the sweetest eyes" and the sight of my three mates. Happy but less as their paln unfolded with happy things which involved me losing some of my paper treasure.
On two bikes, braving the dark sky and I swear I heard a banshee cried, we went to the heart of the city, the sin part of town where religion had left and the devil reigned supreme. We stopped, eying the place, teeing up in our minds a stupendous plan while drowning ourselves in cancer stimulants and diabetes enhancers. We saw our fate and we went for it for the jungular I suppossed. There was a hissed a for a moment I thought I saw a banshee.
The alley was well lighted suprisingly but the smell was instantly recognizable, of greed and wantoness. I turned and saw the lights that we were creeping away from.

The Pow Wow in the South of Heaven
I do not even allow my son to watch people playing snooker or billiard what more to play those develish nonsensical game. I played those games once and I was scarred for life. Well, i admit there were some other mitigating circumstances surrounding the scaring of my soul and skin and some dents on my helmet and motorbike but at the epicentre was snooker... snook..er.
It was a dark but not so lonely afternoon. I was about to do something important when my unholly mates woke me up. Then, the plot thickens...

Always the Good ol Days
Debate
In the ol days, I or teams with my style of speaking could easily win debates with a good albeit stretched definition of sorts. Through in language context when economy is expected and 9 out of 10 you will win.
Rugby
The good ol days, wait a minute, there have not really benn changes to the game in malaysia except that some of the younger blokes would play spotting ala Beckham hairstyle and UPM is not up there anymore. No real changes except the fact that I am actually considred a first choice at 40.
Work
