Sweet like Black Pepper

Korang pernah makan tak gula-gula lada hitam? Mesti tak pernah kan? Dengan rasa bangganya aku nak bagitahu korang, aku dah pernah makan. Rasanya... pergh....manis + pedas + berangin.

Dia punya berangin lain macam sikit. Bukan berangin macam gula-gula halls tu, tapi berangin campur pedas. Kalau nak tahu, korang rasalah sendiri ya.

Oh ya! lupa nak ucap terima kasih kat office mate aku, Hazren kerana telah bermurah hati membawa ole-ole dari Miri, Sarawak. Dia cakap dia beli gula-gula ni kat Airport di Miri. Bila sebut lada hitam, mestilah dari Sarawak kan? Pengeluar lada hitam. 

Dia punya bungkusan macam gambar kat bawah ni. Jadi, kalau sapa-sapa yang nak gi Sarawak tu, bolehlah beli sebagai ole-ole dari sana. 

Ini gambar dekat. Nampak tak gula-gula yang dah aku buka bungkusan tu? Warnanya ala-ala putih. 

Tapi kan korang, bila dah makan gula-gula ni. Tunggulah dalam 3 - 4 jam. Akan ada rasa satu perasaan pelik datang. Yang rasa macam tak boleh tahan. Nak lepas jugak. Ala, korang jangan salah faham pulak, ini bukan entry 18SX. Rasa nak kentut aje lah. Bila dah rasa panas je dalam perut, mulalah rasa nak terkentut-kentut.

So, kepada sesiapa yang memakan gula-gula lada hitam ni, sila tengok kiri kanan anda sebelum melepaskan apa-apa yang patut. Karang ada pulak yang terbau minyak wangi korang.

Singkatnya hidup ni.......

Sesunggunya kehidupan kita amatlah singkat. Kita lahir dengan azan dan iqimah. 

Dan akhirnya kehidupan sebelum dimasukkan kedalam tanah, kita akan disembahyangkan. 

Berapa lamakah jarak antara AZAN, IQIMAH DAN SOLAT? 

Sangat PENDEK. 

Begitulah kehidupan kita, amat singkat sebenarnya. Bahkan setiap hari kita berhijrah ke arah kematian.

Korang, Yang Mana Satu?

Apakah yang paling dekat dengan kita?

PESANAN DARI IMAN AL GHAZALI BUAT PERINGATAN UNTUK KITA SEMUA. 

1. Imam Ghazali : Apakah yang paling DEKAT dengan diri kita di dunia ini?

Murid 1: Orang tua
Murid 2: Guru
Murid 3: Teman
Murid 4: Kaum kerabat 

Imam Ghazali: Semua jawapan itu benar. Tetapi yang paling DEKAT dengan kita ialah MATI. Sebab itu janji Allah bahawa setiap yang bernyawa pasti akan mati ( Surah Ali-Imran :185).

2. Imam Ghazali: Apa yang paling JAUH dari kita di dunia ini ?

Murid 1: Negeri Cina
Murid 2: Bulan
Murid 3: Matahari
Murid 4: Bintang-bintang

Imam Ghazali: Semua jawaban itu benar. Tetapi yang paling benar adalah MASA LALU. Bagaimanapun kita, apapun kenderaan kita, tetap kita tidak akan dapat kembali ke masa yang lalu. Oleh sebab itu kita harus menjaga hari ini, hari esok dan hari-hari yang akan datang dengan perbuatan yang sesuai dengan ajaran Agama.

3. Imam Ghazali: Apa yang paling BESAR didunia ini ?

Murid 1: Gunung
Murid 2: Matahari
Murid 3: Bumi 

Imam Ghazali: Semua jawaban itu benar, tapi yang BESAR sekali adalah HAWA NAFSU (Surah Al Araf: 179). Maka kita harus hati-hati dengan nafsu kita, jangan sampai nafsu kita membawa ke neraka.

4. IMAM GHAZALI Apa yang paling BERAT didunia?

Murid 1: Baja
Murid 2: Besi
Murid 3: Gajah

Imam Ghazali: Semua itu benar, tapi yang paling BERAT adalah MEMEGANG AMANAH (Surah Al-Azab : 72 ). Tumbuh-tumbuhan, binatang, gunung, dan malaikat semua tidak mampu ketika Allah SWT meminta mereka menjadi khalifah pemimpin) di dunia ini. Tetapi manusia dengan sombongnya berebut-rebut menyanggupi permintaan Allah SWT sehingga banyak manusia masuk ke neraka kerana gagal memegang amanah.

5. Imam Ghazali: Apa yang paling RINGAN di dunia ini ?

Murid 1: Kapas
Murid 2: Angin
Murid 3: Debu
Murid 4: Daun-daun

Imam Ghazali: Semua jawaban kamu itu benar, tapi yang paling RINGAN sekali didunia ini adalah MENINGGALKAN SOLAT. Gara-gara pekerjaan kita atau urusan dunia, kita tinggalkan solat

6. Imam Ghazali: Apa yang paling tajam sekali di dunia ini?

Murid- Murid dengan serentak menjawab : Pedang

Imam Ghazali: Itu benar, tapi yang paling TAJAM sekali didunia! ini adalah LIDAH MANUSIA. Kerana melalui lidah, manusia dengan mudahnya menyakiti hati dan melukai perasaan saudaranya sendiri

Beli satu percuma satu

Pic. google

Jangan tertipulah apabila ada banner `beli satu percuma satu'. Mana ada orang nak bagi menda free kan?. Samada dia dah mark up harga untuk barangan pertama ataupun barang yang free tu memang dah expired atau memang tak berguna langsung (dengan kata kasarnya).

Inilah yang terjadi kat aku weh. Rasa hampeh betullah kat budak sales tu. Mula-mula memang dah cuak dengan attitude dia. Memang kurang asam betullah. Memang tak rasa nak beli pun (lagipun kalau boleh nak kurangkan makanan-makanan yang segera ni, ingat tak entry aku yang pasal pemakanan ari tu? Pilihan makanan terburuk untuk anak-anak, Alih, alih entah macam mana si Hasben termakan jugak dengan cakap budak tu (katanya kesian kat budak tu, yalah tu..... nasib budak tu lelaki, kalau perempuan?)

Alkisahnya, kita orang pergi ke TMC semalam, nak beli  barang sikit. Bila tiba kat bahagian sejuk beku tu, adalah seorang mamat ni datang kat kita orang. Offer nugget, beli satu percuma satu. Aku tanyalah, kenapa nak bagi free, mesti nugget yang free tu nak expired ataupun tak laku. Dengan selamba budak tu cakap, kalau tak nak sudahlah. Ok fine, aku pun terus blah. Tinggalah en Hasben duk melayan budak tu. Aku terdengarlah jugak percakapan diaorang. Dia cakap kat en Hasben, nugget yang dia nak jual ni, jenis yang McD jual tu. Boleh caya ke? Dan yang dia nak bagi free ni ialah nugget ikan, keluaran baru. Ala-ala macam nak perkenalkan produk baru gitu. Kenapa tak cakap siang-siang. 

Last-last en Hasben aku yang baik hati ni pun belilah jugak. Beli atas dasar kesian katanya. Balik rumah trylah goreng nugget ikan tu. Uwek...langsung tak sedap. Bau ikan yang hanyir amat kuat. Tak tahulah kalau korang suka rasa macam tu. Nak kata rasa macam Fish n Chip, tak kot. Memang tak sedaplah. Budak-budak kat rumah pun tak nak makan. Patutlah nak bagi free, rupa-rupanya tak sedap. Dah agak dah, memang tak laku pun, sebab tu nak bagi free. 

Moral of the story : Jangan cepat terpedaya dengan barang-barang free ni. Mesti ada udang disebalik mee.

Menjana pendapatan

Fuh, baca tajuk memang gempak beb. Saja jer. Kasi tuan punya gambar kat bawah ni glamer sikit. 

Cer cerita sikit. Hari sabtu 2 minggu yang lepas, kita orang pergilah ke Kemaman, untuk membeli mesin rumput ni. Bukannya nak eksen ke apa, cuma nak bagitahu, dah lama aku duk membebel pasal rumput ni. Biasanya si Wendy tu yang duk potong dengan gunting yang besar tu. Iyalah, tuan rumah malas + bizi (bizi sokmo). Nasiblah ada bibik yang rajin potong rumput.

Beli mesin ni pun yang buatan Cina je, kiranya yang murah sekali lah. Macam tak ikhlas je beli. Kalau tengok gambar kat bawah, memang nampak muka kena paksa kan?

Tapi tak baik tau, buruk sangka. Memang minat memotong rumput ni tiba-tiba je datang. Sekarang ni dah complete PPE untuk memotong rumput. Siap potong rumput sampai diluar kawasan rumah. Kalau boleh kawasan jiran pun nak dipotongnya. Wah, memang bagus dan bersemangat betullah En Hasben aku ni.

Anak abah, mana-mana pergi mesti ada...

Tapi, kalau difikir-fikirkan dan dikaitkan dengan tajuk memang betul apa, pekerjaan memotong rumput ni boleh dijadikan pendapatan sampingan. Iyalah, kalau untuk kawasan rumah aku yang rumput hanya seciput tu boleh dikenakan RM30. Kalau 1 hari 3 buah rumah, dah boleh dapat RM90. Buat je waktu weekend. Aci tak? Ala, hendak seribu daya, tak hendak seribu dalih. 

Agak-agak, En Hasben setuju ke kalau usul ni dibentangkan malam ni? 

Selamat Menyambut Maulidur Rasul 1432 H
