Izzit Wrong 2 B A British?

Sorry for da long silence guys. bit busy sorting out life at da mo (well its never gonna be sorted enw) lol

Got dis from frenster. Its been in my bulletin board for couple of weeks and recently I thot its worth sharing. (after browsing whatablog!!) credit 2 Ang ...

To all (especially my mesian frens) have a heart and a sincere thought on dis. Da owner does not intend to create any sort of racism or ‘I’m-hollier-than-thou’ atmosphere ere. But da guds shalt not be ignored, as everyday is a lesson to us. After all, da English aren’t dat gud for everyone has a lacking part in their own ‘respective’ lifestyle

After been studying/staying in great Britain for 4 years, (n da remainings in Malaysia) dis is wat I found:


WHEN GIVING A CUSTOMER BAD NEWS


Britons: I'm sorry, Sir, but we don't seem to have the sweater you want in your size, but if you give me a moment, I can call the other outlets for you.

Malaysians: No Stock.

RETURNING A CALL


Britons: Hello, this is John Smith. Did anyone page for me a few moments ago?

Malaysians: Hello, who page?

ASKING SOMEONE TO MAKE WAY


Britons: Excuse me, I'd like to get by. Would you please make way?

Malaysians: S-kew me

WHEN SOMEONE OFFERS TO PAY


Britons: Hey, put your wallet away, this drink is on me.

Malaysians: No-need, lah.

WHEN ASKING FOR PERMISSION


Britons: Excuse me, but do you think it would be possible for me to enter through this door?

Malaysians: (pointing the door) can ar?

WHEN ENTERTAINING


Britons: Please make yourself right at home.

Malaysians: Don't be shy, lah!

WHEN DOUBTING SOME ONE


Britons: I don't recall you giving me the money

Malaysians: Where got?

WHEN DECLINING AN OFFER


Britons: I'd prefer not to do that, if you don't mind.

Malaysians: Don't want la...

IN DISAGREEING ON A TOPIC OF DISCUSSION


Britons: Err. Tom. I have to stop you there. I understand where are you coming from, but I really have to disagree with what u said about the issue

Malaysians: You mad, ah?

WHEN ASKING SOMEONE TO LOWER THEIR VOICE


Britons: Excuse me, but could you please ! lower your voice, I'm trying to concentrate over here.

Malaysians: Shut up lah!

WHEN ASKING SOMEONE IF HE/SHE KNOWS YOU


Britons: Excuse me, but I noticed you staring at me for some time. Do I know you?

Malaysians: See what, see what?

WHEN ASSESING A TIGHT SITUATION


Britons: We seem to be a little bit of a predicament at the moment.

Malaysians: Die la!!! (Mine is 'matilamak' ) LOL


WHEN TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED


Britons: Will someone tell me what has just happened?

Malaysians: What happen? Why like that?

WHEN SOMEONE DID SOMETHING WRONG


Britons: This isn't the way to do it. Here let me show you..

Malaysians: Like that also duno how to do.. (mine: 'tau makan jer')


WHEN ONE IS ANGRY

Britons: Would you mind not disturbing me

Malaysians: Chilaka you!!! (Mine is Wot Da F**K)

CONCLUSION: dats y I miss UK so much =(


p/s…
I feel much relieved learning dat Azlina Jailani @ Lina Joy’s application to revert from Islam has been struck down by da Malaysian Federal Court. Even legally speaking (I must say) Tun Fairuz and Datuk Alaudin have acted unconstitunionally in line wif da Federal Constitution 1948. More updates comin up soon …


U are not forgotten

wow, wan zokhri ade peminat nak jompa. but yeah, i have to agree. malaysia have among the lowest level of politeness towards their own people. but i thought that brits would simply throw punches if they got angry hahaha. joking, joking. neways, if you're in malaysia, good to have you back, friend. and why don't you use proper english on your post. after all, you speak english at home, and went to study in the UK (statement laser). then again, i got exempted in the english placement test hahaha. no hard feelings okay ^_-.

It takes a crane to build a crane
It takes two floors to make a story
It takes an egg to make a hen it takes a hen to make an egg
There is no end to what I’m saying
It takes a thought to make a word
It takes some words to make an action
It takes some work to make it work
It takes some good to make it hurt
It takes some bad for satisfaction

Life is wonderful
Life goes full circle
Life is wonderful


It takes a night to make it dawn
It takes day to make you yawn brother
It takes some old to make you young
It takes some cold to know the sun
It takes the one to have the other
It takes no time to fall in love
But it takes you years to know what love is
It takes some fears to make you trust
It takes those tears to make it rust
It takes the dust to have it polished

Life is wonderful
Life goes full circle
Life is wonderful
It is so…….
It is so…….

It takes some silence to make sound
It takes a loss before you found it
It takes a road to go nowhere
It takes a toll to make you care
It takes a hole to make a mountain

Life is wonderful
Life goes full circle
Life is wonderful
Life is meaningful.

* NOT MATTER WHERE U LIVE, IT WHERE YOUR HEART IS THAT COUNT....

Salam,

just wanna to share an article that I've read...very interesting and I think it relate to the topic being discussed...

I just quoted some interesting points from da article...

"Akhlaq itu bukan lalang
Tumbuh sendiri di tanah lapang
Tak perlu baja, tak perlu dijaga
Naik sendiri tumbuhnya melata

Akhlaq itu adalah buah
Tumbuh bergantung di pohon berakar
Perlu dibenih agar bercambah
Dibaja subur hingga membesar

Akar itu ibarat Aqidah
Menambat amal kepada Allah
Telah kenal Tuhan yang disembah
Dalam ke luar, jiwa berserah

Dahan dan daun umpama Ibadah
Memproses Aqidah berpandukan Sunnah
Kaifiyatnya menuntut tepat dan sah
Setelah matang, berhasillah buah

Aqidah, Ibadah, akhirnya Akhlaq
Itulah Syariah, agama yang Haq…"

“Ramai yang berlepas tangan bab Akhlaq ni, ustaz”, kata Pak Din.

Saya mengangguk.

“Sampai ustaz-ustaz sendiri pun mengalami krisis Akhlaq. Datang lewat, tak tepat masa… semua rasa biasa. Pinjam barang tak pulang balik, rasa biasa… tak rasa hina diri, tak rasa berdosa”, kata Pak Din lagi.

“Timbul soalan besar di sini, Pak Din. Orang Barat sana tu, menepati masa. Bekerja amanah. Saya pernah jumpa orang Ukraine semasa di Ireland, yang berpindah ke tempat saya kerana dipulau di tempat lamanya atas kesalahan menipu. Sungguh aib menipu ini kepada mereka”, saya mengulas.

“Soalnya, orang Barat ‘tak ada agama’ tapi ada tabiat positif. Ada HABIT. Kita yang ada agama, tak ada Akhlaq. Habis, macam mana nak jawab kalau ada orang persoalkan, apa gunanya agama kalau yang beragama tidak berakhlaq, sedangkan Barat tanpa Islam pun boleh lebih ‘Islamik’!”, saya cuba mencetuskan persoalan yang lebih meruncing.

“Hmm… apa pandangan Hasrizal? Di mana silapnya?”, Pak Din berkerut dahi berfikir. Tiga empat orang rakan yang lain turut sama.

“Pada saya Pak Din, Akhlaq ini bukan lalang, boleh tumbuh sendiri. Ia memerlukan usaha. Habit positif di Barat bukan tercetus sendiri. Mereka mengajar dan belajar mengenainya”, saya memberikan pandangan.

Barat boleh buat semua ini sebab mereka memuliakan manusia. Lantas mereka berminat mengkaji manusia. Sebab itu, majoriti disiplin Sains Kemanusiaan seperti Psikologi, Sains Politik, Kaunseling, Komunikasi dan lain-lain, dibangun dan dikembangkan oleh Barat.

Cumanya, dengan membelakangkan agama, tabiat itu mudah tersasar. Nilai mudah berubah. Puncanya ialah kerana tiada nilai Ta’abbud. Tiada Ubudiyyah kepada Allah. Tiada reference point dalam hidup.

Kebaikannya, terpisah dan tidak berhubung dengan Tuhan, kerana ramai yang berkrisis terhadap ritual dalam agama. Maka rugilah Barat dari sudut Ta’abbud kerana meninggalkan ‘agama’ (ritualnya).

Apahal pula dengan umat Islam.

Kita sangat mementingkan ritual, sehingga menyangkakan ia puncak agama.

“Sesungguhnya aku telah diutuskan untuk menyempurniakan kemuliaan dan nilai Akhlaq” (Disahihkan oleh al-Albani - 1/45)

Ya. Atas dasar itulah saya amat menghargai usaha Imam al-Ghazzali menulis kitabnya Ihya’ ‘Ulumiddin.

Al-Ghazzali kecewa dengan golongan Fuqaha’ yang terperangkap di dalam ritual. Sedangkan solat disyariatkan untuk membentuk peribadi, mendidik hati. Untuk Akhlaq. Tetapi umumnya di masa itu, orang sibuk dengan rukun dan syarat Ibadah, tetapi peranan Ibadah dalam membentuk jiwa dan Akhlaq tidak dipedulikan. Maka agama menjadi ritual… kulit semata.

GENERASI KURANG AJAR

Mengapa?

Kerana kita semakin percaya bahawa Akhlaq ialah lalang. Tidak perlu diajar tidak perlu dirunsing.

Akhlaq tumbuh sendiri tanpa perlu disemai, dibaja dan dijaga!

Lantas agama kita hanya sibuk dengan ritual, tetapi substance berupa Akhlaq, Tabiat, Habit… dibiarkan …

Pandai-pandai sendiri… kerana percaya ia lalang.

Ada sahaja tanah lapang… tumbuhlah ia menghijau melata.

Hakikatnya, apabila kita tidak membenih Akhlaq, apa yang tumbuh hanya benar-benar lalang yang menyakitkan mata… lantas menjadi makanan lembu semata..."
