A Little Politeness Goes A Long Way
I gave my word 2 share wif u, a memorable moment which occured 2 me last few days.
CASE ONE (1)
Monday saw me going, on my way 2 NatWest, bumped into a chap (whom no longer a stranger 2 me) happened 2 b my junior in uni. Couple of secs b4, I was been approached by dos 'charity 4 children' volunteers, asking me 2 chip in 4 donation - which I dun want 2 highlight ere. It took me 10 mins 2 complete da donation details n da patient, humble mortal was standing next 2 me, waiting. I felt unease 4 keeping him waiting n completed da transaction @ da soonest I can.
Da following is a transcript of da exchange of words I had wif da young guy, along market street, heading to Piccadilly Central.
Junior A1: Abg Wann dr mane?
Opsss b4 I proceed:
FYI - dere will never n ever (in my whole entire life in Manchester) a XY chromosome wud address me 'Abg Wann'. Furthermore, seniority is never exist in Manchester Zarul Iman. Hence my heart bloated & flowered (^_^) n felt really touched. @ least, scarcely, sum1 is respecting me still despite I may not look like a respectable senior =(
Me: Abg dr office, heading 2 Precinct 2 check my balance in Natwest. Kamu dr mane?
Junior A1: dr Arnsdale ... (pausing)... I bought chin-up-bar 4 exercise
Me: Dats great. U really into body shaping, arent ya?
Junior A1: No - laa (blushing) Just a bit of exercise only when I feel like 2 do it. Abg dah makan?
Wat do u feel knowing sum1 cares much bout u? I feel like ..............................(speechless)
Me: No, but I'll grab egg-mayo later along da way.
On da bus, I tried 2 blend da sense of being alert+sensitive+knowledgeable. Dis is how it goes
Me: I believe Manchester Games is approaching. Is everything under control?
Junior A1: (long silence) ermmmmmmmm. ok kot. cuma ada prob sket on funding n wif 1 society/club. (4 mutual trust n confidence between us, I shall not reveal da name of d club) Abg wann, can I ask ur opinion, if u dun mind?
Me: (gaping) go on ... derang wat hal lagi ker?
n dere goes my long lecture. from piccadilly garden 2 precinct on bus journey.
_________________________________________________________
Compare dat wif dis one
CASE TWO (2)
Sumwhere last year, while I was preparing dinner, 2 blokes rang da bell-door: ma fren (whom I reluctantly 2 call him fren) n a junior
Let him be Junior A2 4 identification n comparison purposes. They were about 2 meet my housemate n I didnt mind inviting them 2 stay over 4 dinner
Dis how it happened:
Junior A2: Keje OK ker wanzue?
Me: OK (still OK)
Junior A2: Aku tgk biler ko keje ni semakin rosak jer. makin menjadi2. ko kaler rambut lagi ker?
Me: Ha ah. Obvious kan? ( I started 2 berserk, my missiles r about to lauch) x kan x nampak kot? (cynically)
POI pls, Junior A2 is da 'so-called' vvip in my community ie Malaysian Community of Old Trafford. First I saw him, he's like da middle-of-the-road type. But upon joining circles, tamrin watsoever, he begins 2 change. In a gud way I mean. He's now religious, reserved n more mature. I idoled him da most @ first, 4 his change makes him much better - a wiser person.
But its all 'Memori Daun Pisang' now!!!
My adulations r improverishing, tellin ya
Junior A2: ko tau kan bende tu salah?
Me: Tau (I was no longer in da cooking-licking-gud mood alredi. I stirred da boiling gravy grumpily..my heart is sizzling hot just like da gravy)
Junior A2: Abis tue kenape ko buat? Ko kan sekolah K***S dulu, x kan ko x blaja bende2 nih ?
Me: Ntah. saje ikut hati, aku buatlah (still trying 2 be moderate even I'm bout 2 burst)
Junior A2: Ikut hati mati !
Me: Kerana mulut badan binasa !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (dats it, u go babe)
Junior A2: Aku bukan ape. Dulu aku tgk ko baik je. Join usrah sumer. Patutnyer ko jadi lebey baik laa. aku nie just nak tegur @ nasihat jerr ( I totally 4got wat exactly da word he sed.its between those two)
Me: Okay. U done ur job. Thanks for being concerned (in my heart, yeah - u're rite!!) beckoning my inner-euss inside.
Junior A2: Ko x malu ker wat keje2 camnie? Ko tue ex-K***S, dulu join M*M, sedarlah sket ( I can even see he's smirking at me)
Me: (Cant help it) Wat.The.F....... Look, if u're coming 2 my house purposely 2 advice me on dis kind of way, im sorry mister. I think u got da wrong person, plus da wrong time. If u keep on insisting 2 proceed, wif all due respect, please get ur ass hell out of ere.
I went upstairs. Left da gravy half-cooked. which I assured da best way indicating, he's no longer welcome!!
_______________________________________________________
MY POINT IS:-
We tend 2 look down upon normal, social, huu haa type of person. We thot of da depictions dat their social life has taught them 2 b modern, 4 getting their roots, neglecting manners n politeness. I admit Junior A1, isnt really a gud person. An idly one. I didn't c him in any islamic circles or talks. He's simply immuned from all these.
But our MCOT VVIP, Junior A2, on da other hand, who been into circles (which I'm pretty sure Islam talks a lot on ethics particularly in approaching a person - Manahij Ad Da'wa) but wat he has done to me is totally 1)disgusting 2)uncivilised 3)ill-mannered n 4) simply unacceptable
now answer me, which one is polite?
which one deserve 4 my attention n praise?
I think, society must re-accessing their views on 'not-so-islamic' type of ppl. Perhaps we have sumting 2 learn from them. Dun just look 4 da bad apples. Some of da apples in da barrel r really mellowing, like Junior A1.
but junior A2, bcuz of him, I started 2 raise my hatredness 2 him n his clicks aka his usrah clan (even I know i'm not supposed 2 do so)
but true be told, 'kerana nila setitik rosak susu sebelanga' - u mess a thing, u mess it all
n its becuz of Junior A1 politeness, I decided 2 give him a hand 4 his project
Da MSSM ie Malaysian Student Society of Manchester is currently in need searching 4 sponsors 4 Manchester Games & Malaysian Nite. Those who know or who have known any potential sponsor(s) or willingly 2 contribute no matter how small, please visit
- A little politeness goes a long way
- Dun be gullibled ie religious (or) (and) society leaders r not neccessarily well-manered
- Respect others as u want them 2 respect u. Respect can win da hearts, enraptures da minds BUT arrogant or 'macam bagus' kinda like attitude just drive u mad, raise no respect n even worst promote hatredness n abhor

And Da Only Word I sed - I'm Sorry
4 da past few days, I've been living in a high sense of guilty...4 hurting sum1 I care da most. n its always be da case, I am hurt by hurting ppl. Babe, I know wat I've done is unbearable, n might be unforgivable. N I know I deserve not 2 b forgiven. Thus, I am not asking u 2 forgive me, all I ask, is 2 give me a chance 2 say I'm Sorry ... =(
I am Forever Yours ...
And The Only Word I Said - I'm Sorry
For all those time you stood by me
For all those time I made you wait
For all those time I broke your heart
For all those time I caused you hurt
For all those time I left you behind
For all those time you felt alone
For all those time I made you down
For all those time I made you sad
For all those time I left you lonely at nights
For all those time I ran away
For all those time I left you in the rain
For all those time I left you in pain
For all those time I walked out of your life
For all those time I failed to cherish this lovely gift
For all those time you cried without me
For all those time I felt unbearable of hurting you
And The Only Word I Said - I'm Sorry
I promised you to give the world, but its empty inside
I promised you to be by your side, but I'm running away
I promised you to make you smile, but I'm da one who makes you cry
I promised you to be your brother, but sometimes I could not bother
I promised you to protect you, but I disappeared when you need me most
I promised you to be your sunshine, but I came with a heavy pour
I promised you everything, but I can't do even a single thing
And The Only Word I Said - I'm Sorry
I am afraid to be your protector, for I'll let you go
I am scared to give you the world, for I'll fill up with tears and sorrow
I cant give you hope, fearing having you I couldn't cope
I want you to be happy, even most of the time I give you misery
And The Only Word I Said - I'm Sorry
Baby,
Having said these, I am left with nothing
Everytime I promised to give you everything
End up without a single thing
In the very end, there's something I am holding
A true heart ..... singing
Singing you my love and feelings
Forever everlasting
Fondly undying.
@ nites, I cry

Wat -asignofthecreator- Has Achieved Within da Last 3 Days
I dun know how did it happened. n still, I cudn't believe it. 4 heaven knows how.
I'm figuring wat spell on earth has been put thru my blog. But its just has da power 2 put impression 2 ppl dat my English is darn gud!!
Hell NO!!!
My English is just lame, ordinary n 'atas pagar' one. Shall I say more?
FACT 1:
I've been offered a PhD thesis editing/approving job by sum1 I known. If I agree 2 take da deal, he'll pay me 4 all da editing done.
Hoho. Surprising is it not?
Considering my killing-merciless working lifestyle at da mo, 2nd part time job wudnt suit me. But I've got no options left as da whole world know my long-term,unbeatable ongoing weakness is - lacking da strength to say NO!! or even in a more civilised way, "I'm sorry for I'm afraid I cant". Its just me 2 help those in need wif all da capabilities dat God has lent 2 me. n dere u go. Hundred (if not thousands) of submission pages awaiting. Roast my nuts 4 dinner, tellin' ya.
Funny enough - da thesis i'm working on got nothing 2 do wif me, neither wif my knowledge in law nor my experience in working.
"Simulation of acoustic partial discharge signal propagation in a model transformer and its usage for partial discharge location" - a thesis submitted 2 da University of Manchester 4 da degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
WTH !!! jaws-dropping
and dats not all
FACT 2:
Dis morning, as I logged in my frensta, a fren of mine's asking my help 2 translate 'buku panduan jabatan uitm'. from Malay version to English.
Cover 2 cover. aint joking ere ppl.
n b4 I cud even asked 'Why me?'
She wrote: 'English ko memang tak tahan'
Fullstop
FACT 3:
Yesterday, da very same person asked me 2 assist her in writing an epic telling da experience of studying in university to da Global Module Champlain College. Hence, u kinda like can imagine me being an English Teacher wif a red ballpoint on da hand -circling-crossing-underlining-arrowing etc
Dats it ppl, 3 part-time job offers in less than 3 f***ing days. Perhaps, I must start engaging wif caffein at nites, making my sleepless times 2 be bearable.
But I'm lovin' it 2 da max. 4 my passion now is on journalism n academic writing (after slowly 'reverting' from Law). I dun mind end up late at nite doing some editing n approving even translating for I believe it pays in da end.
Dats all 4 an update.
Truth b told, dere is sumting I want 2 share wif all u folks. an unforgettable moment of mine wif sum1 down da street nearby piccadilly dis noon.
Wat A Day !!!

After da Seventh Day ...
and its been raining since early afternoon.
My double-glazed windows are painted wif delicate pearls of water which ever constantly merge to from tiny, merry streams racing each other down 2 da panes.
I welcome da rain. I thank Lord 4 dis little miracle of His.
It was on 7 days b4, where all began. @ dat time, none of us had imagined how splendid da gath will b. Including me!! I thot it wud b just another ongoing social event wif -IHAB- &
-WANZUL-
I reached Stoddart House from a long tiring weekends @ Malaysia Hall. Greeted by Ihab n Wanzul, n by a new chap whom I never seen b4 -MIRUL- traversing all da way from Ukraine 4 his Europe Trip. He welcomed wif a smile & I reciprocated. da demarcation of geography never be a reason 4 us 2 break da silence.
Until dis very moment, I boggle learning da miracle of dis.
A Shakespere I am not, 4 I cant create da sweetest-most remarkable poem on earth ever made, 2 express my profoundest expressions of gratitude, how much all of u mean 2 me. (plus, I've been warned not 2 come out wif any melancholic eye-watering sayings 4 they will find it as a catastrophic emotional disturbance)
Wherever You Go I Miss U So ...
Currently playing: Leaving on a Jetplane by Chantal Kreviazuk
Following Ihab's precedence of A-N-I, allow me 2 attribute dis blog 2 da persons who have made my London trip as da most memorable - touching and heart-attached visit ever.

O Heart, Be True ...
A promised, awaited melancholic cry of my heart. Wif a piece of A4, a black ball-pen n a few cups of Mocha, I'm giving u ...
O Heart, Be True
It was only yesterday I saw you
And it's just today I am leaving you
How I am supposed to tell
All the misery, disruptions of hell
It was not started but from this friendship
In it, my love and concern blossom so deep
But my heart wasn't true
As I regard you more than a friend like the others do
I feel bad - my heart is sad
For my mind goes mad
For the price I have to pay
For the love I couldn't say
For the sleepless nites I undergone
Waiting the true to blow its horn
For we can't be together
As apart from me, there is someone better
Leaving in your house feels like a mouse
For I am scared to be the real me
For the disappointment of hope I can see
O God
Why ye crete Fate
For the one who is born with a very low estate
Why ye crete de feelings
For it haunts and makes me daunting
and
Why ye crete de sense of loving
Knowing this person I am loosing
I freak and I cry
For the truth I cant deny
Up low I am searching the strength
But the road is still far and length
How I wish to close my eyes
and to heart I tell, its all lies
But my dream says its all true
For the one I love is only you
Shame on you dear heart
For making us both fall apart
For every nite I refuse to dream
Fearing my hope will melt like a cream
I wish to quit life
To heaven I shall drive
But its not that I cant leave
Loosing you as a perfect gift
Why I am into you?
Whilst wondering whether you love me too
Bewitched - You the only one
For the rest of my life, my heart will hunt
As my life is like a dice
but never turn out nice
all in all
I just want you to know
My love to you will always grow
For everything I do
I wish could paint the real you
For seeing your smile
I would run a thousand mile
Take care my love
As I'll be flying with the dove
Bringing our hope and dream together
Never fade dilute for ever

After a hard consideration between Michael Bolton and Kenny Rogers, I came to a verdict dat da song of 'Have I Told You lately That I Love You' sang by Rod Stewart wud be best to listen whilst reading dis poem.
