Amalan Menabung

Salam dan selamat petang, big spenders!

Pernah kan dengar pepatah melayu, "sikit-sikit, lama-lama jadi bukit". Pepatah ni memang diguna pakai oleh orang-orang dulu ajar anak-anak untuk menabung. Mungkin sekarang amalan menabung ni semakin berkurangan dalam masyarakat kita kini memandangkan ibu bapa sekarang lebih suka buat simpanan secara online untuk anak-anak mereka dimana beberapa peratus daripada gaji bulanan mereka telah di'set' untuk simpanan bulanan dalam bank mereka.

Tetapi tidak dinafikan juga ada ibu bapa sekarang yang masih meneruskan amalan menabung dalam tabungan kepada anak-anak mereka, dan tindakan itu patut diberi pujian. Selain daripada melatih anak2 berjimat cermat, mereka juga diberi pendedahan untuk berdikari bagi mencapai kehendak material dan secara tidak langsung dapat mengeratkan perhubungan kekeluargaan melalui interaksi yang sihat diantara ibu bapa dan anak-anak melalui aktiviti sihat ini.

Beberapa bulan yang lepas, amalan menabung ni sangat terkesan dalam diri aku selepas seorang sahabat rapat aku berjaya memenuhkan peti harta karun beliau yang penuh dengan syiling. 

 

Ya betul, aku tak tipu bila ak cakap pasal peti harta karun

 

Superb kan. Ni kalau Airis (anak buah aku) nampak syiling ni konfem dia ambil syiling tu masuk dlm tabung dia, hehehe.

Sahabat aku tu minta aku simpankan bg pihak dia since dia nak berpindah rumah dan tolong kirakan syiling tersebut utk ditunaikan di bank. Bagi aku ini sangat mengujakan sebab aku xde pengalaman tunaikan syiling di bank. Masa kecil pon syiling2 parent yang tukarkan, kadang2 tak penuh lagi pon dowg bagi tukaran wang kertas sendiri untuk aku beli keperluan yang aku nak. Lima minit terawal excited jugak aku nak mengira jumlah duit syiling tu, pastu aku terpikir mesti ada cara yang lebih mudah tanpa kira kesemua syiling tersebut untuk ditunaikan di bank.Aku googled di internet dan aku dapati ada mesin Coin Deposit Machine (CoDM) di bank-bank tertentu.

Memandangkan pengalaman aku mencari CoDM agak berliku disebabkan pengalaman yang pertama, maka di sini aku bagi sedikit bantuan untuk memudahkan kowg yang berhasrat nak tunaikan syiling tersebut:

1. Pastikan syiling tersebut telah diasingkan daripada benda-benda asing seperti klip kertas, butang-butang baju kerana bendasing ini dapat mengganggu keberkesanan mesin itu beroperasi). syiling matawang asing dan RM0.01 sekiranya dapat diasingkan adalah lebih baik walupun mesin ini mampu membuat pengasingan pengiraan syiling kowg.
2. Pastikan lokasi CoDM yang berhampiran yang mana kowg ada akaun di bank tersebut sebab selepas tunaikan syiling di CoDM di bank tersebut kowg kena ke kaunter bank untuk serahkan resit yang tertera akaun bank kowg atau mana-mana akaun yang berdaftar di bank tersebut
3. Datang awal yang mungkin mengikut masa operasi bank tersebut dan jika boleh hubungi bank cawangan tersebut untuk bertanyakan samada CoDM tersebut berfungsi atau tidak (pihak bank bergantung pada kapisiti syiling dengan jumlah tertentu dan kekurangan kepakaran 'maintenance' mesin tersebut)
4. CoDM maybank diakui mempunyai servis yang baik dan memusakan terutama di cawangan Equine Park, Seri Kembangan Selangor

Kowg leh baca arahan yang tertera di mesin tersebut, tekan dan masukkan syiling kowg. Mesin ni akan kirakan amount syiling kowg and keluarkan resit. Resit tu kena serahkan di kaunter bank untuk ditunaikan dalam akaun bank kowg tu. Tunaikan dalam tempoh dua puluh empat jam ye

Tak sangka peti harta karun sahabat aku tu ada syiling yang berjumlah almost RM300 jugak la. Lepas duit untuk pergi beli tiket flight or travel atau duit belanja minyak or makan kan. Sebab tu aku nekad simpan duit syiling balance seharian yang ada kat purse aku tu dalam tabung. Semoga aku istiqmah

Hopefully entri ni dapat membantu kowg dalam memupuk amalan menabung dan proses bagaimana untuk tunaikan syiling kowg tu. Selamat beramal

We Both Matured Within Time

Assalammualaikum and A very good evening, readers.

Hari ni berkesempatan jumpa seorang lagi sahabat masa degree dulu. Aku ni jenis mudah berkawan, maka masa degree dulu aku ada geng sesemak (lima orang perempuan) dan geng mixture (tiga perempuan dan tiga lelaki yang official). Walupun aku ada geng rapat bukan bermaksud aku tak bersosial dengan yang lain. Bagi aku istilah geng ni, bila ko buat aktiviti senang buat perancangan dengan dowg sebab sekepala walupun masih ketegaq, hahaha. Macam yang aku jumpa hari ni ialah geng mixture aku iaitu, Noor Halizam Mohd Noor dengan nama gelaran Zam Johor/Zam pendek disebabkan ada dua zam dalam course kteowg. Geng2 aku ni setakat gurau2 kasar atau sarkastik tak de masalah, no hard feeling. Dah nama pon geng kan. Setakat panggil Zam Pendek, dia ok jek tp tak sedap la kan sebab percakapan juga adalah doa sebab tu kena cakap benda2 yang baik.

Awal perkenalan dengan zam sebagai coursemate aku bukanlah sesuatu yang memberi good impression pada aku. Mamat ni agak poyo dan skema pada aku. Kalau dalam kelas, bila ada group presentation, adalah sangat tak best kalau dia angkat tangan untuk tanya soalan sebab maklumlah bila jd student ni tak suka nak renyah jawab soalan yang bombastik as long as dapat lepas markah assignment, setel. Mmg annoyed jugak bila nk menjawab soalan dia. Memang kepantangan aku kalau orang poyo tanya aku soalan pastu dia extendkan soalan lagi, maka aku dengan poyo jugak sahut servis lontaran soalan dia macam berbalas hantaran bola tangkis badminton. Oleh yang demikian, orang sering kaitkan kteowg as rival dan sampai satu tahap aku dan dia dikaitkan sebagai skandal disebabkan sering berbalah pendapat. Well, ajaibnya we end up as a good friend sebab perbalahan tu jugak yang menyebabkan aku mula kenali dia dan memahami disebalik kepoyoaan dia. At least he try to be himself and honest about everything. Degree ni adalah platform untuk dia tunjukkan apa yang dia boleh capai yang dimana sebelum ni dia tidak berpeluang, and he graduated dengan beberapa anugerah tertinggi semasa Majlis Konvokesyen UPM tahun 2009, I am proud of you bro.

Ni gambar dia dengan isteri dan puteri beliau semasa beliau terima anugerah khas PTD.Ingat tadi nak berwefie ngan dia takut timbul fitnah plak walupun as a good old time friend.

Tujuan ak berjumpa dengan zam ni adalah untuk bertanya sesuatu berkaitan dengan bidang tugas PTD. Thank you to him, banyak input yang aku dapat walupun dalam kekangan dan kesibukan masa beliau, dia sudi untuk jumpa dengan aku. That's what we called a true friend, walau dalam kesibukan masa dia adakan masa untuk kita juga.  Dia banyak tolong aku dan kawan aku waktu aku praktikal di MPOB Kluang since rumah dia berdekatan, so kenal jugak dengan parent and adik beradik dia. It was sad to hear, kakak dia yang pernah aku dtg rumah dia masa praktikal di Kluang telah kembali ke rahmatullah dua tahun yang lepas. Time flies fast.

Sepatutnya esok tp last minute dia dia lunch date hari ni sebab esok dia kerja di luar kawasan. Sepatutnya, aku puasa 1 Rejab hari ni tapi since dia tukar date hari ni, aku batalkan niat aku. Alangkah terkejutnya bila tiba ditempat yang dijanjikan dia kata dia puasa, it so kay for him if i have my lunch during our discussion. Awal2 lg aku dah rasa dia akan puasa sebab dia jenis faith man tapi since dia request mintak jumpa kat food court so aku ingat dia tak puasa, tapi aku silap sama sekali. Tu yang buat aku salute kat dia sebagai kawan aku. Aku yang rugi sebab tuang puasa 1 Rejab aku.

Memang lama kteowg tak bersua muka, hanya berWhatsapp bila berpeluang tu pon sangat jarang. So dia mmg terkejut bila jumpe aku tadi selama fizikal aku lain katenya and dia kata nampak pompuan sangat dah aku. Maklumlah dulu xsempat nk tunjuk pompuan dah kena masuk ladang pegang cangkul, legam kene terik matahari kan. Bertahun-tahun jugak la aku x bertemu ngan dia, even dia kahwin and housewarming pon x berkesempatan jumpa. Wife dia pon aku kenal masa degree dulu, budak UPM.  

Satu yang aku perasan both of us matang dengan peredaran masa, through different experiences sebab aku dan dia dalam bidang yang berlainan but we have mutual understandings in what happening around us in our life. Padahal dulu selalu berbeza pendapat tapi kini mencapai kata sepakat yang sama. Tak sangka sejam lebih tu pon tak cukup untuk kteowg berborak. I wish that in future we had time berkumpul semula dengan geng mixture yang lain bersama2 anak2, mesti seronok nak reminish zaman2 muda waktu degree dulu. Nasib baik tadi masing2 behave tak keluar perangai waktu degree dulu, ye la kata dah matang kan 😂. Anyway, zam tq for your time and I am still proud of you for what you already accomplished. No matter how different our path but we still had a same mission and vission towards the hereafter. Great job, bro!

Everyone is Born Differently

Assalammualaikum and Salam Jumaat, peeps!

This morning, when I waited for my dear friend to fetch me up to go to faculty since I left my car there yesterday, I saw a cat looked like Joshua ( my lost cat). Joshua was my first owned cat, more likely my buddy since 2013 before I lost him in 2015 and that tragedy made up my mind to move in to new rental house. Too much memories with him that I decide to find a new environment. I believed that he left me because he dont want to die in front of me due to his wound that he had at his legs (I believed he had a fight with a stray dogs when I freed him during the day). That's a sum up about how I lost Joshua.

 

Joshua is one of kind of the tabby cat. Cute, adorable, and a little but diva yet charming 😍

Back to the cat that have a similar look like Joshua, his meowed that attracted my attention, copy cat. I was shocked for a few seconds until the cat passed by me. Then I smiled, defintely not Joshua. For a common people who are not a cat lovers, they might seen all the cat same, they cant tell difference at all if visiblely looked alike cats are put side to side. This occurence make me realized that what make you can distinguish that life of forms (people, animals and plants) are differ to each other? The answer is our heart.

For example, how mother can easily differentiate her identical twin children? And how the dog's owner can tell his lost dog just by its tail of all 101 lost dogs of same breed? Most people tends to see things with their eyes the way what they want it to be, not what it is. That is why all look same to them. But when you see things together with your eyes, heart and soul, you can tell every single minute things specifically.

 

Due to that, we can spot an instant difference either physically or emotionally to whom we love because we looked at them with our eyes, heart and soul. That's anwered my observation. 

 

And all I can say, we all are born genetically, physically, emotionally difference. So..

 

-the end-

Simplicity, Patience and Compassion

Hello, strongers!

 

Can you guess what is this?

Another side

 

 Front angle

.......

This is a pod of a parennial tree (unknown id)

Near my glasshouse where I always come to visit my friend's plant collection, there are this parennial trees planted along the roadside. Like some other parennial trees, they have a season of flushing, flowering and falling leaves. I love to watch this season rotating all over the time, it's so beautiful to witness this plant behaviour.  

When they started to fall (the leaves), you can see a hanging pod on the branches. Not much, around two or three per tree. I wondered how the pod looks like right into my eyes because the trees are tall, and what you can see from below it pitch black like a wide tumbel-like shape hanging upside down. So, I started to search for the pod at the ground believe that they fall down too. But never found one. They somehow just disappeared when the season changed and starting to flush the new leaves. I even ask my friend about to look for the pod if he found one since he more often to visit the glasshouse, but he said that it was hard to find because the pod will break when they fall from that height, he had witness the fallen pod and it cracked in front of him. Yes, he might be right although I think at least, I can find the broken pieces just to end my curiosity. Normally, when I am curious, I searched for the info and ask people who know about it directly. If neither both of the method worked, I just hope one day I'll find them. There will always answer to everything.

And miracle do happens to those who waits (patience) and I always believe in miracle and good things will happen at the right time. And hope always the last effort when your hands out of reach. That make me live as simple person and yet compassionate with things happen around me because I found happiness in them. I believe I found my wisdom in my own way, I think 😊.

And how about you hadling ur curiosity? 

Power of Mother's Love

Assalammualaikum and a very good day, people!

My late mom had been leaving us almost a year and a half. Time flies fast and when i looked back, we (my family) did great and well managed and get through our lives without her. It was hard when you lost someone you loved, especially when you are not mentally and emotionally prepared. But I am glad we did passed that time just great.

I always miss and longing for her. When she was alive, she always keep reminding to pray for the one who had left us behind to in this world (family) because that prays that matter to them as a connection to the living one especially doa from pious sons and daughters. Doa is the only present that I can delivered to her that make me stay connected.

I had a small family and we live in simplicity in a modest way, full of love. When my sibs and I were young, we did fought a lot too but we never hate each other. And now we are grown-ups, we never fight and always help each other although we live far from each other. That is devine truth and prove of my mother's love. Her advices and what she taught us always guide us to lead our life better. She was a strict person when it comes to educate us but yet she was caring and loving. I still remembered when she scolded us after did something wrong, later she would come to us have a moment time between mother and child have a little talk to comfort us back. That was so lovely. She always give her best to make sure her children grow to be a better person. 

I am very thankful to people around me who are concerned about what I have been through for not having mother next to me now. I really appreciated the love and kindness that you give towards me, that is so thoughtful. Yes, indeed I cant taste how my cook, the touch, the voice will brighten up your day, get the texts that full of hilarious, advises and supports anymore, it was not replaceable but those memories always stay in my mind and hearts. Dont worry, I did just fine. What concerned me most, I dont want to be a burden to anyone. Hehehe, I know I am a sweet and lovely daughtet that all mother craved to ☺️. Thanks for the love again.

My beloved late mom, Al-fatihah. If growing to be a better person is the sacrifices that I have to make because my love towards you is real.

 

You dont know the power of your mom's love until she left you.

Love your mom 👩‍👧
