ME: Wishing you all the happiness

Lost

Lost in translation. Lost in transition. Lost in transmission. Whatever it is I'm at lost.

I wanna give yet I wanna take back. I laugh yet I'm crying. I'm good and even bad. I eat but starving. I drink but thirsty. I love and hate.

I'm worried and I'm thinking. I kind of lost the people that I love. Am I being sensitive or they are the one who insensitive? Now we are on the parallel line. No meeting point. And I'm afraid there's no turning back. And we will be drift apart.

ME: There's no turning back

A vegetarian?

Well, well, well. Yesterday kan aku ada mention pasal dinner. So nak cerita, antara menu yang dihidangkan untuk dinner last night ialah 'shark finn soup with crab meat with something blabla (haha. tak ingat nama penuh dia)'.

Eventhough itu my first time Shark Finn (jakun kan aku. Hari tu first time yee sang), aku sangat skeptikal nak makan. First yang bermain di fikiran aku, HALAL ke tak? Sebabnya shark kan macam ikan yang sangat terkenal makan orang or daging or whatever. So aku google lah. Mungkin jawapan yang diberi ni tak berlandaskan hadis tapi for me ada logiknya. Anyway for those who disagree, they might think It's just a FISH. And after this mungkin patut dapatkan jawapan dari orang yang lebih mengetahui contohnya JAKIM ke kan.

-"No it's haram. Fish must have fins and scales, sharks don't have scales. It is also haram because the shark is dragged from the sea, it's fins are cut off whilst the fish is alive, then the shark is thrown back in to die a horrible, slow, painful death, unable to swim, therefore unable to pass water over its gills to breath and slowly bleeding to death. Do you think that, in anyway, fits with the Islamic method of slaughter ???"-

Second thought is, pasal animal abuse. Aku tau aku ni bukanlah vegetarian. Aku makan je daging. Beef memang favourite aku. Tapi aku pernah baca pasal ikan jerung yang mati sebab kita just ambik finn dia. For me, it's cruel. Kalau ikan puyu takpe lah. Cinonet je. Ni ikan jerung agak besar jugak kan.

Ni info aku dapat from PETA website. More info please visit their website HERE. Animals often:

• Kept in small cages or jam-packed sheds or on filthy feedlots, often with so little space that they can't even turn around or lie down comfortably
• Deprived of exercise so that all their bodies' energy goes toward producing flesh, eggs, or milk for human consumption
• Fed drugs to fatten them faster and keep them alive in conditions that could otherwise kill them
• Genetically altered to grow faster or to produce much more milk or eggs than they naturally would (many animals become crippled under their own weight and die just inches away from water and food)

Banyak jugak la info pasal penderaan binatang ni. Macam ayam dicucuk hormon untuk bagi cepat besar sebab permintaan tinggi. Pastu sembelih sesuka hati. Lembu pon macam tu. That's why Islam dah ajar cara yang betul tentang sembelihan. Pisau kena tajam. Haiwan mesti yang sihat. Pisau yang dah sembelih kena basuh dulu baru boleh sembelih binatang seterusnya. Ni main kelar je.

Sekarang ni taktau lah macam mana cara sembelihan. Kita main makan je kan. Takkan la pihak berkuasa pantau tiap masa. Time pergi check OK la. Time takde orang check sesuka hati la jadinya. Sebab tu kalau kat KL ni aku cuba elakkan untuk makan ayam or daging. Makan ikan la selamat. Kalau balik Kuala Berang lain lah. Rasa teguh lagi kepercayaan aku terhadap pakcik-pakcik jual daging dan ayam tu.

Sometimes aku terfikir jugak. Ke aku patut jadi vegetarian je? Well not for the time being. Not yet anyway. Sekarang ni boleh jadi Flexitarian je. Anyhow try not to eat shark Finn first. That's the least I can do for now.

Cerita hari ini

Still at the office. Waiting for 8 o'clock to come. Tonight is farewell dinner for our ex director. The hotel just a few blocks away and all of us decide to stay in the office until 8.00 o'clock. Well, perut dah lapar but what to do. If makan sekarang then siapa nak habiskan makanan kat hotel tu. Rugi je lah bayar kan. Keboringan (*kelaparan) melanda diri sekarang ini.

Jom bercerita sikit pasal berita semasa di Bukit Acheh tercinta. This morning my mother called. To inform a very bad news. Jiran aku, Pok Mat Bi kena tetak tangan sampai putus. Sedih dengar. And keluar paper lagi. To find out more click HERE. The thing is memang la kerja dia tarik kereta. Tapi yang tukang tarik tu nak mengamuk tak tentu pasal kenapa. Dah tak mampu nak bayar kereta bukan salah tukang tarik kereta. Salah sendiri la kan. Then report kat polis kata tukang tarik kereta tu serang dia. Tak tau la cerita mana satu betul. Tapi apa hak dia nak putuskan tangan orang.

I dont know him personally sebab aku bukan selalu ada kat rumah pon. And I wont know how dia tarik kereta tu. Mungkin la involve gertak menggertak sikit. Yang tu tak tau la kan. But, dia ni as a neighbour baik orangnya. Ringan tulang. As a husband pon baik jugak. Basuh pinggan, sapu laman. Erm payah kot nak jumpa pakcik yang macam ni. Pakcik Mat rumah aku (ayah aku la tu. Haha) kompem tak pernah buat. Hehe.

Apa pun harap cepat sembuh. Mungkin Allah nak uji dia. And nak bagi kesedaran kat orang sekeliling dia. Kalau Allah nak buat something dalam sekelip mata apa pon jadi. Mungkin susah bagi dia nak kerja dengan sebelah tangan. Nak sesuaikan diri pon ambik masa. Tapi InsyaAllah, Allah tak akan bagi dugaan yang tak mampu hambaNya atasi.

My friend FB shout...

"Why pretty girl always go for Loser?"

And I comment back...

" Why handsome boy always go for Bimbo?"

ME: Neither pretty nor Bimbo

Teremakashi

Susah sangat ke nak ucap terima kasih? Erm mungkin susah jugak. Aku kadang-kadang pon malu nak ucap. Tapi since dah matured ni (ehem ehem) aku rasa Terima Kasih tu antara magical word yang boleh heal perasaan seseorang (well, depend on the situation lah). Bukan susah sangat pon. Terima Kasih. Thank You. Nandri. Xie xie. Syukran. Arigatou. (teringat tepuk-tepuk terima kasih time PLKN).

I think Terima Kasih should be enough to show your appreciation kan. Bagi orang yang bukan mata duitan macam aku (ehem ehem kuasa dua) tak perlu hadiah. Duit. Belanja makan. Memadai dengan Terima Kasih.

*Sekadar selingan, FYI Teremakashi tu actually Terima Kasih yang diJepunkan.

We say Oh arigatou
Hey! Sekai wa ichi? Ni?
Sankyuu to na kimi wo nosete
Hey! Sekai no ashita?
Asatte shiasette ni tsudzuku yo
VADANE WONDERFUL
terenaide teremakashi (TERIMA KASIH)
