A Cause To Live With~

Salam..

 Always hoping that readers out there are safe and sound. I have been in a training under UPM-MTDC Symbiosis program for some time, even night..sometimes going around the country to gather or meet people.

For those may be asking, its entrepreneurship training..with incubation period of 2 years.

Before I address the matter in concern, I wish that all of us would evaluate every action,even the purpose of you taking any job because what matters more is that we are not drones,we can think. Human beings are the greatest creations Allah s.w.t made, and we have our responsibilities. We are indeed influenced by the environment, be it the demanding pace of life that requires we to struggle, most notably to earn a living. But come to think here, that  the causes we are pursuing today may be no more than self-centered desires. It's like WORK MORE-EARN MORE-SPEND MORE-DREAM OF MORE. Yes, it is common today. I remember I came across a human resource book stating that the current workforce today are working to spend. Me too cannot deny of such desires.

But then~~

We should not forget, there are various people out there. For those who aren't aware, there are people who prey on others, whom I may address as vultures after this and those who become the victims of such situation. Those that take advantages over others can be easily seen, especially those in positional power and  in business area (My apologies to those that are sincere to their cause). How I wished I could reveal the vulture faces, but I am sorry..its not the time yet.It's happening behind the scenes, sometimes in front of us, covered by so-called innocent donations and givings, or even doing "deeds" nationwide but then behind us manipulation and corruption is there.These vultures happily stripped off everything for themselves that should have belong equally to all of us..made many suffer and does not even care what is the long term effects on the people around them, especially in Malaysia. Yet, the public may have not been properly addressed, may be to the best of intentions. Believe in me-I have seen and talk to a number of people, sometimes the victims themselves..especially when meeting certain people with proper connections.

There are also people who have either been the victims of these vultures,  or do not have the same opportunity like us. Most of us had our chances to be up to the tertiary level of education, graduated and most already ended up with a good job. However, it is important to remember, where our positions lie afterward, will we become slaves? With our minds manipulated by the today's desires until we forgot that there are people that destroys others life/ the victims themselves..we are in the right direction the vultures are setting us/want us to think. To be engulfed in own life, so that they can continue to harvest everything from us, even more devastating to those that are not 'lucky' like dear readers out there.

What I believe is that all of us can contribute something to lessen the effects. I wished that every single one of us that have the capacity to aid, please do so. Get in charity organizations, get in non-profit missions to help those in need. Allocate some time to think, where do I can contribute the best to the people? How can I contribute back to the society? Can i donate for a better education of my brothers and sisters nationwide/worldwide. An example: For muslims, remember our zakat: Its surprisingly notable that just a number of people gave their zakat. Most would rather care their taxes than the zakat. Believe in me, when we start  to think, search those in need and we might be surprised how many have we missed or should have aided to reduce whatever the damages the vultures had done to our society. 

It is also important to note that those with influences and positional powers to guide and encourage those under their responsibilities to contribute to the society. And that those with proper jurisdiction that have powers to regulate (may have even been doing so all this time) the vultures. Hopefully all reading this will answer the call, that there is a greater need to contribute to the society, even more demanding against our desires. It's not wrong to have desires, to work and earn something for ourselves, but remember the responsibility for the society (especially Malaysian society I am addressing) is very demanding that requires every single one of us "untuk turun padang" to contribute.

This is a cause whereby everyone should dedicate their life: To be able to contribute back to the society. InsyaAllah which a little patience, I will acquire my own company. Having set the vision with priority to society contribution.. Its my way is to be in control and nurture more people fighting for the cause and in time hopefully will have the proper capital needed to do whatever is needed. Do what we can in our own area, aid each other..even though we still cannot cover all those in need in our lifetime, hopefully our next generation will carry on what i call "to continue on the visions of the dead", our vision to see a more healthy community. 

Let us allocate some time to think what we can do, plan and utilize this as a strong drive to believe and fight on for the years to come~

Men of Times 2

HANIF

 

This person, if you ask me..I can remember the exact event where I first met him.  During the first grouping of BSTM personnel on the 14th College orientation week, 5th July 2006. Currently having a new look, the men of 37th Slackers are more than able when we laughed at him all the way whenever his looks were compared back then. But nevertheless its just the facial looks, not the Hanif we knew, not the Hanif I knew. In truth, he came clean, with innocent and yet honesty are brimming from his soul, directly noticeable. We shaked hands together, exchanged pleasantries and asking our hometown. Then came the faculty orientation day. Back then, when I saw his final CGPA from matriculation, after seeing the "legendary" Mior CGPA (at that time only, ok? :-P)..I thought I was a loser. 

These two mates have the best pointer out of all of the other BSTM slacker boys! But its not just his pointer, his manners prove it that he is "holier than thou". My decision? : I decided to keep a close distance between Mior and Hanif, thinking of wanna try to get some good study lessons from them.  Well, close enough to notice that among these two, Hanif proves to be successful in terms of  maintaining  among "the best relaxation elapsed time" vs Mior. He can be found more in his sanctuary (room) than outside it. But on one occasion, I think almost everyone that took PHY2001 can still recall that he nearly missed a 2-hour Physics class, barely arriving it at the last 15 minutes. All eyes trained on him,including the lecturer who gave him an armor-piercing look~!. Haha, and he remember that as a good lesson. 

A person who loves food, and the foodlovers in terms of "knows all,sees all,eats all..". He's a prove to us that anything edible shouldnt be left untouched. If you try to his eating speed or capacity either, you are more than welcomed. We never won against him. :-P..Loves to give new food stalls a try,always keen on finding a chance to "slurppp" the ABC..However a distinct personality above all is that he a generous person. He's always manage to find some time to get the boys some good place,takes us there and pays for all of it. Never berkira la, easy to say. Keep wondering when is the next time..oh and I forgot to mention, he's great at cooking~!! Fuh, all should try taste his cooking, Hear I say..book him,before the boys do.

Another point worth noting there is that he shares the same interest with Mior in cars, but his favourite interest is in racing cars. I can only imagine and wonder what are these two talking about once they met and starts conversation about this car and that car,ohhh..certainly out of my interest. He sometimes even dreamed about those cars if he's been talking about em too much in a day..Go and ask him, he'll admit.

Also not forgetting, he's possess a good family aspiration,meaning family is his prime dedication..whatever he do,family goes first..what can I say..hmm, maybe a "family man"..ya,sort of a person that could be a good father..so single women are welcomed to contact him,but careful there..be ready for rejection for he has his own point of view on this.

That is all I could write about him.but for further references contact him,of course~!!

And that concludes Mr Muhammad Hanif bin Miskandar.

HAZMIR

Firat impression: What??!Its a kid in disguise!..This description suits him better. Hazmir a.k.a "Kecik"..with his looks and size, people will start judging this friend of mine,but usually will go and get to know him..and you'll know him as a well-mannered person. This is a friend one should value most for his helping hand and always try to say yes when one needs help. His background of being the laughing stock had been bringing him into so much conflicts during his school days, and the bad jokes people doing on him are too much until he became immune to such mockery. Yes, he will not response if one mock him, but careful enough to always reply in a good manner, resulting him as a well-accepted person in the UPM community.

Talking about the first time I met him, as I said before..is a pleasant experience. The first time I met him, was in his room, end of the 12th college. Prepping to go to orientation session. Yes, is was there. Always constantly brimming with energy, and appears to be a natural joke-maker. He always have a high attraction around him, bringing people here and there together and getting along with any type of people without much problem.

When it comes to study, he's always trying to find a way to improve..sometimes ready to go beyond what the 37th Slackers boys imagination of doing things, and makes him unique in his unending spirit. Sometimes during exams, I remember..he got away from us and study away for some time that even we could have thought where'd he gone.Ya,ya..for those waiting for him to slack off..here's a few: hehe.. A consistent sleeper in class, he always managed to best Hanif in terms of "siapa kantoi dgn lecturer lg kerap". Why is he's sleepy at class times? He's a BUSY person. Entrusted with many responsibilities, here's a man you can count in. With his mobility, he certainly good at multitasking and extremely active in sports. I'm telling dear readers out there..despite his small size..He's one of the famous all-round sporstman in UPM, even representing Malaysia in hockey tournaments on various occasions. Gets the best game,gets in the best event~~

Not forgetting..in culinary, he is not-your-average-joe. He cooks and comparable to Mr Hanif's skill. Well, ask him to go to his house..and he cooks for you: custom made! Believe in me, the boys already tasted and we all approved that he's such a cook. On the other hand, he possesses a great deal of interest in outdoor activities and also philosophy. When it comes to holidays (if any is for him), he opt for anything related to outdoor activities. You can go and ask him where is a good outdoor place he hasn't come across around him, and you will acknowledged him for his experiences. He spent a lot on upgrading his outdoor equipment, so dont think this person doesnt care what he looks, but good looks are a must for him~. :-). On the philosophy part, books related to positive thinking and self-improvement will be a very good present for this "brainy creature". He likes to improve over time and can always be invited for such sessions, every time will try to emulate like a counselling session. He will read the type of books described over and over again, and will eventually come out with his own processed output..translating it in his own life and preaching it to the men and women around him.

Currently jumping job by job, he is still searching for the right job that suits him..and know that this person can easily enter the workforce. So, my final words that suits him would be "Small arms,big heart".
And there goes for this "small" friend of mine, Hazmir bin Alang Abd Hamid~
