EARTH LOVER

A Billion Acts of Green

Everyday :
  • Toxic gases are emitted
  • Forests are burnt
  • Endangered animals are skinned
  • Mountains are blasted
  • Ice caps melt away
  • The ozone layer thins
22nd April 2011 - begin Earth Day with an urgency.
Our common home is deteriorating under the destructive hands of mankind. Not one day goes by without the earth suffering from a new high rise building or suffocating gases.

But what are you doing?

Find out what events are happening near you today and start walking the talk!

As Michael Jackson sings it best :
"I'm starting with the man in the mirror, i'm asking him to change his ways, no message could have been any clearer! If you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself, and make the change..."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOYFRIEND!

Tak sah lah if today passed without this entry kan bro. =P

First thing first, I think I should thank your mum for giving birth to someone wonderful like you. Hehe. But takkan nak sms mama awak cakap camtu kan? Kang teragak2 plak nak buat menantu. =P

So..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

I'm taking this opportunity to show my deepest thoughts and feelings for you, the person I love. I'm not good in buying stuff, so this feeling I’ll confess as treasures that money can’t buy. And I know it’ll stay in your mind and heart (besides the fact that you always have short-term memory loss!)

I'm looking forward to celebrate this day with you TOGETHER for the rest of my life.

I hope I can make your dreams come true.

=P

xoxo,
TEMO.

MARRIAGE

I got this from my sister. PLEASE READ. PLEASE.

When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why?

I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Jane. I didn't love her anymore. I just pitied her!

With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Jane so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.

The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn't have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Jane.

When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over and was asleep again.

In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from me, but needed a month's notice before the divorce. She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a month's time and she didn't want to disrupt him with our broken marriage.
 
This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day. She requested that every day for the month's duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning. I thought she was going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request.

I told Jane about my wife's divorce conditions. She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully.

My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mommy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don't tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outsidethe door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office.

On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time. I realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I had done to her.

On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me.

On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn't tell Jane about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger.
 
She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily. Suddenly it hit me... she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.

Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time to carry mom out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly; it was just like our wedding day.
 
But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn't noticed that our life lacked intimacy. I drove to office.... jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind...I walked upstairs. Jane opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Jane, I do not want the divorce anymore.

She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my forehead. Do you have a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Jane, I said, I won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn't value the details of our lives, not because we didn't love each other anymore. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart.

Jane seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away.

At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote, I'll carry you out every morning until death do us apart. That evening I arrived home, flowers in my hands, a smile on my face, I run up stairs, only to find my wife in the bed - dead.

My wife had been fighting CANCER for months and I was so busy with Jane to even notice. She knew that she would die soon and she wanted to save me from the whatever negative reaction from our son, in case we push thru with the divorce.-- At least, in the eyes of our son--- I'm a loving husband....

The small details of your lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the bank. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves. So find time to be your spouse's friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!

Saya dah kata budak-budak saya luar biasa

Situasi A

You all sure biasa dengar kan bakal calon SPM nak drop certain subjects kalau diorang memang sangat-sangat tak mampu buat. (Or memang MALAS nak struggle la kan maksudnya) Subjects yang students SUKA drop antaranya, Add Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics.

*Iklan jap : Pesan saya kat sini, kalau memang tak minat, jangan tunjuk hero lah masuk science stream masa Form 4, then bila dah Form 5 nak drop itu ini.

Tapi cerita ni memang sangat mencuit hati. Student ni punya lah nak keluar dari kelas tersebut, dia jumpa PK bagitau nak drop BAHASA MALAYSIA! Aku nak kata bangang tak sampai hati. Haha. Hello brader! Don't bother sitting for SPM lah kalau macam tu! Tak pernah dibuat orang lah drop subjek BM!

Situasi B

Saya mengajar satu kelas yang most of the students YA RABBI pemalasnya, asal bagi latihan je tunggu jawapan daripada 2-3 orang budak perempuan, then tiru tak payah fikir apa-apa dah. So one day, starting a new topic, I asked them to copy notes. Tak lama lepas tu sorang student tanya, "Cikgu, tu jawapan dia eh?" (Merujuk kepada formula yang saya square kan dengan kapur merah) Mula-mula saya sengih je tapi diorang blur jugak. So I asked them, "Kalau tu jawapan, soalannya mana?".........Itu nota lah! Mana ada jawapan2. Korang tau nak ada jawapan je depan mata ek! Cubalah jangan zalim dengan otak dan akal yang Tuhan dah bagi. FIKIRLAH FIKIR! Bukan kena bayar pun.

Not only research have limitations

I never promised you a ray of light
I never promised there'd be sunshine everyday
I'll give you everything I have  
The good, the bad
I always said that I would make mistakes 
I'm only human and that's my saving grace
I'll fall as hard as I try 
So don't be blinded
See me as I really am 
I have flaws and sometimes I even sin

Life's Complicated sayang

"Cikgu, Add Maths susah"

"Teacher, I hate Add Maths. Susah sangat."

"Teacher kenapa nak kena tanya bende2 macam ni"

"Cikgu buat apa nak belajar Add Maths. Susah"

"Teacher, nak pecah kepala saya buat Add Maths"

"Teacher saya boleh jadi gila buat Add Maths"

And macam2 lagi laa. Cikgu ni, Teacher tu. Semua tak kena. Semua susah. Adik2 sayang oi, cikgu belajar Add Maths waras lagi sampai sekarang. Bukan kata pecah, retak pun tidak kepala ni! Add Maths tu tujuannya to train kita solve problems. Memang lah kita punya life problems bukan find the roots for quadratic equations or find dy/dx untuk 4x tapi rasional nya kalau korang terror Add Maths korang boleh deal jugak dengan segala macam problem you face in your daily life. Faham? Faham ke tak kalau tak faham jangan buat-buat faham. Sekilas ikan di air dah tahu jantan betinanya. Tengok, cikgu Add Maths boleh bagi peribahasa. Sebab dulu tak pernah argue pun dengan cikgu BM kenapa nak kena belajar sastera. Inilah fungsinya. Tahu? Tau ke tak? Dah2 penat dah membebel kat sekolah. Haha.

One more thing, korang ada ingat tak time dalam perut ibu dulu, ada orang pernah janji dengan korang yang life's gonna be easy?? TAK ADA PUN KAN???? So yang nak bising2 kata everything susah kenapa? Memang pun, life's complicated. Try mati tengok?? Mati pun belum tentu senang kan? kan? So just LIVE with it! Belum ada yang mati gara-gara belajar Add Maths.

p/s : Dalam belajar, tak ada yang susah kalau rajin. MASALAHNYA MALAS! So nak salahkan siapa.

Whatever you said. =P
