Tunggu sekejap...

Banyak benor post duniawi dalam belog ni. Dah la asyik-asyik post yg sentap. Che' POn pon tak sentap memanjang mcm ai. Sekali-sekala harus diselitkan dengan post ukhrawi. untuk ingatan sendiri terutamanya. So few weeks back ai dengar ceramah ustat mana tah on IKIM. Sorry, I'm bad with names. Lagi2 kalo tak dilihat-in mukanya. Ceramah nya amat terkesan di hati nurani lah.

It was about your daily life. Kita hidup ni sebagai khalifah Allah. berbuat sesuatu semata-mata kerana Allah, untuk mendapatkan keredhaan Allah. Same goes with your work life. You'll get more satisfaction bila bekerja lillahi ta'ala serta kurang penyakit hati. Kalau bekerja kerana boss, or takut boss, definitely sangat menyakitkan hati if you still get his disapproval or bad remarks when you have worked your ass off. At least, jika bos tidak menghargai usaha anda, you always know that your hard work inshaa Allah mendapat keredhaan-Nya. Bos kritik pon kita redho.Just take any constructive criticism as your future reminder to improve yourself. Kritikan yang tidak membina, menyakitkan hati semata redhalah.

Speaking of criticism, ustat tu pesan, janganlah membalas kritikan dengan kritikan. Kerana kritikan itu hanya menyakitkan. Ini memang undeniably terkesan di hati. I have answered criticism with criticism and it was never good. A disaster indeed. Yes you might think, orang yang sesedap rasa mengkritik ni kadang-kadang kene bagi sejibik atas muka. Biar dia rasa sekali perasaan kena kritik. Apparently tak semua orang boleh menerima kritikan dengan hati terbuka, walaupun diri sendiri sesedap hati mengkritik sehingga ke peringkat mencemuh. Dan bila anda menjawab kritikan dengan kritikan, ia hanya memburukkan keadaan, menimbulkan ketegangan sehingga bisa merenggangkan perhubungan. Perlu diingatkan di sini, mengkritik bukan bererti mencemuh dan berkata buruk terhadap seseorang.

Ustat tu kata redha sajalah terhadap sebarang kritikan. You just have to remind yourself that redha bukan bererti kalah. Sebagaimana coretan Fauziah Ashari dalam Ombak Rindu, redha itu ikhlas, pasrah itu menyerah. Tidak perlu membalas kejahatan dengan kejahatan. Sentiasa ingat kita hidup beragama, ada Tuhan di sisi. Tidak perlulah kita membalas. Sesungguhnya balasan Allah itu pasti. Allah, Tuhan di hari pembalasan (maaliki yau middeen).

Maka apa saja kritikan, cemuhan, umpatan, kejian dilemparkan depan atau belakang, yang siap2 ditambah ajinomoto bagai, just let them be. Live on. Be content with what you have. Dan ingatlah, orang yang beriman akan lebih banyak berdiam diri dan hanya berkata apabila perlu. Anda tidak rugi. Allah tetap ada. Tak payah dok sakit hati sangat la. Hanya perlu berhati-hati dengan sekeliling dan manusia yang mcm2 pe'el.

To summarize, just remember:
bila bekerja - kerana Allah ta'ala (lillahi ta'ala)
Bila berhadapan dengan manusia yang pelbagai - Allah, Raja di hari pembalasan (maaliki yau middeen)

Selamat tahun baru!

Di ambang tahun baru semalam, i took an air asia flight. You should know la the main reason i chose air asia in the first place because of its fairly cheaper fare. Eventhough kadang2 mas is way cheaper and provides much much more better service. But then it was new year's eve. It was impossible to get good deal with mas lah kan. So i got what i pay lah. Nak murah, i should anticipate crappy service lah kan. Nak check-in kat counter, kene baya seploh hengget. Luckily i reached the airport early. Tp nak tggu que baggage drop mcm harom. Sabarlah hati. Dah nak murah, dpt apa yg dibayar jela. And ramai jugala yang cheapskate mcm diri beli air asia tiket kan. Dah timbang bagai, terlebih pula timbangan. Dekat dpn counter tu jugak cina bukit unpack and repack untuk kurangkan timbangan. Menambahkan masa beratur dan kepanjangan line beratur. Yang bapak el stupido, entourage cina bukit td turut beratur dgn troli sorg satu. Bila dah setel yg kat dpn td, semua kua line and headed to departure gate. Terasa ingin menghantukkan kepala ke kaunter. Apart from services, i just wanted to point out that everyone can afford cheap air fare. So you should expect to see many kind of people and different form of weirdness.

So i boarded the plane 20 minutes behind schedule. Expected lah kan. Masa org lambat 5 minit, dah tak boleh check in langsung. Masa org awal sejam, dia boleh delay pulak. I was seated at 6a, with me mek. All the hot seat rows in front were all empty. People on board would rather not paying a single cent for that hot seats, when other seats available it seemed. Fair enough lah kan. Mek sangat lah hyper tak boleh dok diam. Panjat2 seat bagai. Nothing i can do about it. Behind me was a kid i assumed australian from his accent. I did everything to calm mek down. It was working until we almost reached our destination and i could see klcc, mek eventually got bored. We almost landed and they switched off the lights. Mek started to scream to make me let her climb and see the kid behind. Dia main2 and gelak2 sendiri. Then i heard the kid complaining to his parents that mek is soooo annoying and he couln't sleep. Eh hello! Ko nak tido apa lagi nya? Dah nak sampai pon. Awal2 td tak kalut nk tido pulak dk main game ko. Tapi takpala. Yang dok bising2nya budak. Bodo tak reti apa.

Sampai2 je, my bro was there waiting with the whole troop. I got on his keto-bah and shared what i just encountered. I wasn't surprise when KM also went through the same ordeal when they were on the same airline to OstOlia few months back. It was even worse when the complainant was an adult. Orang tua! And this orang tua komplen dekat cabin crew. Kalo budak yang komplen, kita boley la ckp dia tu budak. Bodo lagi. Takleh nak pikir panjang. Kalo orang dewasa komplen, nak kata apa? Dah nyanyuk? Amnesia? Kepala terhantuk masa kecik2 dulu? Byk sgt mkn semut itam? Kamu dah kenapa? Bodo bebal sgt. Takleh nk pikir panjang? Takleh nak tolerate sampai nak mengadu ke cabin crew?

Ai nak tanya byk soalan kepada anda yang mempunyai mentaliti yang sama dgn orang yang mempersoalkan how babies and toddlers behave. First get your definition of babies and toddlers correct. Siapakah bayi dan toddlers. Kalo tak tahu, boleh wiki.

1. Adakah kamu tidak pernah mempunyai anak kecil? Jika tidak, adakah kamu tidak pernah berhadapan dgn anak2 kecil kepada saudara dan sahabat kamu yang rapat? Jika ya, you should understand and be more understanding with people and their kids around you. Jika tidak, i bet your life must be reaLly lonely. And to complete your pathetic lonely life, please reside and live in a cave.

2. What are you doing sitting in a non-extra-paying seat of a low cost airline in the first place, if you couldn't handle a crying baby or a screaming toddler? It's natural to have that once in a while unless you have a baby crying non-stop for more than an hour. Then you and the cabin crew should at least be sympathy for the parents, if not be worried of the baby's condition, not the other way around. You should be aware that you're flying in a lowcost plane, not in a private jet. You're not the only one who could afford the cheap air fare. You should expect to see many kinds of people. Dari org mainland hingga org yg bau kari rempah bagai. Even org yg bersubang sampai ke pinggang pon boley naik the same low cost flight as you do, of they can afford it and choose to do so. Inikan pulak org yang bawak anak, bukan bawak kambing naik dok sama2. If you refuse to sit with them, i suggest that you should get your own private plane already. Yang orang lain tak boleh afford langsung. Jangan berlagak boley. We pay the same amount you're paying, ok!

3. When you purchase your flight ticket, haven't you noticed there's an option for people travelling with infant? Just so you know, infant up to 2 yo also need to pay for air fare eventhough they don't have designated seat. Their fare is much cheaper to encourage people with children travel with all these airlines. I have never encountered a single airline that forbids infants and babies to be on board. Neither have i read any of the airlines' policy that states babies aren't allowed to scream and cry or they will have an emergency landing to kick these babies out, just so you could have a peaceful, free-from-screaming-babies-journey. Babies and toddlers are sometimes unpredictable. kalo x tahan, kayuh sampan je la wei!

Semakin murah tiket kapal terbang itu, semakin ramai yang mampu membayarnya. Jika anda mengharapkan perkhidmatan yang first class so de very high class, anda punyai pilihan untuk membeli jet peribadi anda sendiri. Jika anda tak mampu miliknya, maka buat mcm x mampu. Tunjuk je kemampuan anda setakat kapal terbang murah, mcm orang lain. A little bit of tolerance will do no harm. Kalo org lain boley tolerate dgn perangai berlagak anda tapi hanya mampu naik kapal murah, mengapa anda tidak boleh tolerate dgn apa jua kelemahan mereka.

The end.
