Putrajaya Bandaraya Firdaus?

 Saya tertarik membaca artikel ini dalam Utusan Malaysia.Juga saya mendu'akan hasrat JAWI untuk menjadikan Putrajaya Bandaraya Sifar Maksiat. Hasrat tanpa 'delivery system' hanya angan-angan.Tindakan menambah pegawai pencegahan maksiat dari 4 orang kepada 10 orang akan meningkat pemantauan,tetapi jika tidak mencukupi perlu ditambah segera dan dapatkan bantuan orang ramai.Jangan tunggu...bila nasi sudah jadi bubur saperti berluluasanya maksiat di banyak bandaraya di Malaysia,apa mampu buat? Ini kerja tidak ada glamour dan mengundang maki hamun dan celaan.Ramai orang politik dan YB tak berminat.Terserahlah kepada pegawai dan beberapa orang tertentu sahaja.

Kebanyakan anggota masyarakat adalah orang baik-baik,tetapi dalam hal pencegahan,ramai memilih pilihan yang paling lemah.Jika pihak badan berkuasa gagal,maka akan gagal juga hasrat JAWI untuk mencapai taraf sifar maksiat di Putrajaya.

 

Among the tall trees..

The sun is shining on me;-)

Most of the trail from Steroid Hill at FRIM to Sg Buloh Hospital was covered by the leaves of big and tall trees.However,at one location,I saw the bright sun rays penetrated through the gap of the canopy.I stopped by and asked my friend Fauzie to take  a photo of mine while holding his bike.

Five of us rode the trail today and we clocked 18.5km in about 1 hr and 50 minutes.It was fun.At the end of the downhill of the ride,I made short speech to my friends who came to join me for the time.

"Welcome to FRIM Mountain Biking-The Real Thing!'

Everyone laughed and all us cycled to FRIM Cafe.

Kapersky Internet Security 2010

A few days ago,I bought and installed the above which contained three licences.It cost me RM 130 and I hope it protects my family computers.I have been roaming the cycberspace since 1995 when I got myself registered with JARING back then.So far,I did not faced any major problems.Lately, there are so many bad guys lurking around in the World of Internet.It is better to be safe than sorry.

A few days ago even my mobile phones got its OS into trouble.I seeked advice and did what were recommended.Somehow, nothing did work.A hard reset also failed.

Tunnel vision

Below is a photo I took as my son rode his bike through a short underpass to represent a tunnel vision physically.Many a time, throughout our lives, we had experience of it but we were not aware of it.As you can see,the walls of the tunnel block your views of what is on the sides and above when you are inside the tunnel.We can see only what is in front if the distance is short.If the tunnel is long and not lighted the visibility is on a short distance in front of you.We feel scared if we are alone and not knowing how long before the tunnel ends.In such a situation, we keep going and hoping and praying to see the light at the end of the tunnel and resign ourselves to whatever it is at the other end.

Metaphorically speaking,once we are aware of such situation,we must get out of it as soon as possible to explore new views and opportunities.

 

Anak durhaka!

 Saya terkejut besar dan sedih pilu membaca berita seorang pemuda dalam usia 30 tahun di Perlis tanpa kesihan belas mencampak bapanya yang berumur 57 tahun (sebaya umur saya) di tepi jalan sebaik sahaja mengambilnya dari hospital selepas bapanya menjalani rawatan jantung! Adakah ini salah satu petanda yang masyarakat kita sudah rosak jiwa dan akhlak mereka? Ibu bapa dapat menjaga anak-anak sampai sepuluh orang anak,tapi nampaknya ada di antara kita yang bukan saja tidak menjaga ibu bapa yang tua dan sakit,malah menghina mereka semasa mereka tua dan sakit.Anak apakah ini???

Pada hemat saya ,perbuatan begini adalah satu perbuatan durhaka.Sila baca hadis berkaitan.

Beberapa bulan yang lalu,saya terbaca di akhbar kisah seorang bapa yang terpaksa pergi ke mahkamah menuntut anaknya memberi bantuan sara hidupnya! Apakah makna ini semua???

Saya masih bernasib baik ada lagi seorang ibu tua di kampung yang uzur.InsyaAllah saya berdu'a kepada Allah swt supaya saya dan adik beradik saya tidak lalai memberi layanan dan penjagaan terbaik kepada ibu kami.Sama-sama kita semua memberi masa dan sumbangan untuk sentiasa menjaga ibu bapa kita yang amat memerlukan kasih sayang kita semua.Semasa saya mengebumikan Allahyarham ayah saya yang meninggal pada 5/12/1981,guru agama saya mengingati saya supaya supaya berdu'a kepada Allah swt supaya sayangkan bapa saya sebagaimana beliau menyayangi saya semasa saya kecil.

Nota foto: Foto ini di ambil oleh anak saya kita kami membawa ibu saya bersiar-siar di Taman Botani,Putrajaya bulan lepas.Du'a ku dipagi Jumaat ini semoga Allah swt dan ibu ku memaafkan daku jika terdapat ketidak sempurnaan dalam melayani ibu ku tercinta.

Putrajaya by night..

 During my cycling nights a few months back,I saw some beautiful buildings/structures in Putrajaya  and told my wife about them.Tonight, I took her there for a sight-seeing.To us,these buildings/bridges look more beautiful at night compared to day time.

This reminds me to arrange a night photowalk for my photobugs friends some time soon.Luckily I have my point and shoot camera in my camera and managed to snap this photo of the new mosque-Masjid Sultan Mizan.As an engineer,I really love the structurally demonstrative architecture!

Here is the link to more beautiful photos of this mosque.

Tahi judi...

Kaki judi tetap dengan tabiat berjudi.Ramai yang pakai topi keledar semasa masuk kedai beli number.Amat memalukan..

> Mingguan Malaysia reported that many Muslim punters in Kuantan have begun employing runners to buy four-digit tickets for them to evade being arrested by the Pahang Religious Department enforcement officers.

An unnamed non-Muslim security guard said he is one of those who had been asked to become a runner for Muslim punters.

“They will give me a list of numbers to buy and in return, I will get coffee money (tips),” he said, showing a piece of paper with numbers written on them.

The man claimed that he was paid RM30 by a Malay man to buy the numbers.

The Pahang religious authorities began enforcing a directive banning Muslims from patronising gambling places such as four-digit outlets in the state on March 12 last year.

Soothing sounds of water..

FRIM-Rover+ Steroid Hill

As I was cycling along the trail to Steroid Hill at FRIM this morning I can't help but stopped to take photos of this small stream of water falling over the jagged rocks.It looks like a mini waterfall and the water crystal clear and cold!

We are more than 75% water and I think this may be a reason of our affinity to water.I just love the views and the sounds.

Let me share this proverb:

We only know the value of water when our wells run dry.
