me and sheikh yusof

a long due post
thanks to my incompetent in english

why in english ?

because the talk and note about this talk\lecture is in english. thats why

..............................................

i was given a chance to sit in a lecture/talk by Sheikh Yusuf; former mufti of Canada about 4 months ago

the topics varied from promises to marriage [ another reason why i purposely delayed writing this post ]

we had to wait for quite a moment before the sheikh appeared

apparently he was not feeling well that night plus the condition of traffic in egypt which is as bad as my german; very bad indeed

as soon as he arrived, he sat at the provided chair and the emcee for the talk/lecture did his thing

then he rose while holding a cane to support his body

honestly i was expecting the sheikh to speak in heavily accented canadian-english

but to my surprise, he spoke with egyptian-english accent

apart from that, this talk/lecture had been a huge eye-opener for me

fasa-fasa hidup

setiap kali aku sakit pada kebiasaannya aku akan mengalami beberapa fasa

fasa pertama ialah fasa sakit yang minimal

dalam fasa ini aku akan bersifat denial

" orang ganas macam aku tak kanlah sakit "

adalah monolog yang akan diulang-ulang dalam fasa ini

minda beroperasi pada kelajuan yang sama cuma terdapat masalah dalam emosi

panas baran, sangat kuat menyindir, cakap lepas merupakan norma biasa semasa dalam fasa ini

f.r.i.e.n.d.s

people asked me, who are they ?
they are the one that kept me at bay
who straightened me when i went astray
who knew the truth even when i said i'm okay
who never even think to betray
and who believe me rather than hearsay

and then they asked me again
by mingle with them what do i gained ?
a helping hand when i'm in pain
a soft cushion if i were to faint
a hard cover when i'm caned
a key when i'm chained
a psychiatrist when i'm going insane
are just a few of what i gained

nasihat apa ?

retorik menurut kamus dewan bahasa ialah:

1) seni menggunakan bahasa yg indah dan menarik untuk me­mujuk atau mempengaruhi pemikiran pendengar

2) bahasa yg dibuat-buat atau dibesar-besarkan (yang indah dan muluk-muluk)

sedar tak sedar ramai antara kita terjebak dalam satu wabak, 

wabak memberi nasihat retorik

wabak ini bersifat syok sendiri sebab pengguna akan merasa dia sudah berbuat sesuatu padahal dia tak buat apa pun

yang dia buat hanyalah menuturkan kata-kata retorik

siapa aku yang sebenar

apparently i'm a nerd looking, bald guy who wear round spectacles with two fingers only on each hand

hahahahaha
