Bangsa melayu
Dah lama rasanya aku tak menulis dalam bahasa melayu/malaysia. Saat ini aku rasa terpanggil untuk menulis dan maklumbalas dengan seorang rakanku di dalam sebuah mailinglist

Aku rasa benda ni berkait dengan kesedaran bangsa kita pada sejarah. Tak
ramai orang melayu benar2 menilai dan menghargai sejarah.
Lihat sebagai contoh, pelbagai artifak / dokumen / manuskrip sejak zaman
kesultanan melaka disimpan di muzium di london, universiti cambridge,
netherlands, universiti yale dan merata tempat.
Agak kurang usaha dari pihak kerajaan/korporat/individu malaysia untuk
membawa khazanah ini pulang dan di'archive setelah dilarikan oleh
penjajah.
Penjajah barat (british, portugis, belanda) menduduki tanah melayu selama
beratus tahun, dan cuba lihat / ambil tahu berapa banyak khazanah kita
dilarikan oleh mereka dan disimpan & dijaga rapi oleh mereka sehingga ke
hari ini. Contohnya bekas pengarah muzium Taiping pada 1950an G.Sieveking
melakukan excavation di tapak Mesolitik purba di gua cha, kelantan.
Seterusnya beliau membawa keluar 10 kotak rangka manusia purba dan
dihantar ke rumahnya di Britain.
Ambil contoh lagi, disebabkan kita mengabaikan sejarah dan khazanah
artifak kita, pulau batu putih a.k.a. Pedra Branca jatuh ke tangan
Singapura setelah diadili di ICJ The Hague. Kita tidak menyimpan dokumen
silam surat dari Temenggung Johor yang menyatakan tidak menuntut sebarang
hak ke atas pulau batu itu. Lihat bagaimana pihak Singapura membuat
homework dan mempunyai 'access' ke dokumen penting ini (ini disebabkan
kesedaran mereka kepada sejarah sangat tinggi).
Lihat berapa banyak universiti di Britain, Belanda dan negara lain
mempunyai fakulti khas untuk mengkaji antropologi melayu / islam.
Mereka mengkaji bahasa, cara hidup dan semua manuskrip/kitab lama kita.
Anda fikir mereka sengaja berbuat demikian untuk belajar bahasa melayu ?
Fikirkan....
Ada hadis Rasullullah SAW tentang kebangkitan islam akhir zaman menyatakan
islam akan bangkit dari sebelah timur. Jika kita berbicara mengenai timur,
maka rantau nusantara ini terlibat.
Bukankah jelas yang Tuhan menentukan bahawa apa saja yang berlaku
dan direkodkan sebagai sejarah supaya kita boleh belajar daripada
peristiwa tersebut dan menjadi lebih bijaksana dan berpengetahuan untuk
menghadapi situasi semasa, janganlah berhenti belajar sejarah. Tambahkan
ilmu pengetahuan setiap hari. Berilah anak-anak kita salah satu perlindungan
daripada cabaran masa depan, iaitu, pengetahuan kisah-kisah lepas.
Kita agaknya sibuk bercakar sesama sendiri sapa yang dapat pegang tampuk
kuasa untuk mengisi perut sendiri.

di sini saya minta anda berfikir, mengapa perlu kita hargai dan sedar betapa perlunya sejarah. Saya pernah ditertawakan rakan hanya kerana saya memberitahu ingin melawat muzium negara....
Just my 20 cents.

Burung Balam - the poem / 'gurindam'
It's been quite some time i've been looking for this gurindam. I manage to found it today right after i arrive home from work. Kinda hectic, need some nature touch & classic stuff which may swipe away tiredness and burnout. I still remember part of the phrase like burung balam or zebra dove / spotted dove. In the good old days and till today, malay people love to keep these songs bird. They put in the nice carving cage and hang it outside the house or inside. Another phrase is "orang tua berkalih tidur" which means the old men was sleeping but turn around few times like they're in the state of REM sleep.
Alamat Hari Nak Siang
===============
Tengah malam sudah terlampau
Dinihari belum lagi tampak
Budak-budak dua kali jaga,
Orang tua berkalih tidur,
Berbunyi kuang jauh ke tengah,
Sering lanting riang di rimba,
Melenguh lembu di padang,
Sambut menguak kerbau di kandang,
Berkokok mandung, merak mengigal,
Fajar sadik menyinsing naik,
Kicau-kicau bunyi murai,
Taptibau melambung tinggi,
Menguku balam di hujung bendul,
Terdengar puyuh panjang berbunyi,
Puntung sejengkal tinggal sejari,
Itulah alamat hari nak siang....

Malaysia new proton car model
It's called Proton Saga BLM or somethin', i adore the design & look duh. Despite a zillion of critisizes/complaints/bad labelling/under estimation and lotsa negative feedback against Proton product and their half-ass bad management & bad R & D, These newly motivate Proton team has start walking through flat tarmac following others automobile giant. Yeahhh, i knew we gotta support local product and at the same time customer should give feedback (either negative/positive) to the manufacturer and the Proton itself _MUST_ improve to compete the global capitalist market around the globe. See it for yourself:

Feelin' good eh...
I'm in the office but not really doing work-related, i meant not really *heh*. Due to the upcoming long holiday Aidilfitri festive next week. It's been quite sometime i've been looking for this kinda pen, i adore 'em since my school days. Still remember one of my teacher (around year 1992) was using it with stripe and white color. The pen built and look is really cool and nice shape. I thought it was Zebra but it's LAMY duh ! But that model is no longer in the market (obsolete!). I came across to LAMY website past few days and just realize that's the pen i'm looking for the past 10 years. After 10 years or so then i can afford to buy these pen eh ? I bought it at Parkson KLCC during lunch break yesterday. Man.... the feel of writing when you hold it is soooo speechless !!! AWESOME !! i bought the LAMY ink and free 1 piece of LAMY cartridge.
I even grab some nicely built CITIZEN divers watch. Water resistance is up to 200 Meter. I love the rubber black strap, u can feel the strap is nice and cooler if you compare with imitation watch or cheapo stuff. I grab it at some watch outlet at Central Market, KL.
So long i wanted to get these wireless remote shutter for my Nikon D70s, i sometimes face a situation where you can't use a timer nor look through viewfinder in someway. So i grab it at one outlet in Bukit Bintang Plaza, KL.
No where to go so i went to Times Square shopping complex and grab some Stussy multi crown leather belt. Looks so masculine eh.
I came across to these web, they wrote article on street wear and jeans, it's nice duh !

Return back to the street wear and shopaholic!!!
Utterly i was suddenly make up my feeble mind to phase out all the cloth in my wardrobe. There's tons of variegated outdate cloth i have to throw out and donate to my nephew and my brother for goodness sake. It was loathe to own 'em. It's been few years i've never buy a new cloth. I wore faded and old cloth for daily work and hang out. I was devoted to somethin' else for the past few years, it makes my mind farrago these day. It's time for a CHANGE !! I grab what i've been dump before, i start back buying music magazine like KERRANG! and Rolling Stone. It was cheap indeed compare to the last few years, this is cool *sigh*.
I've been introduced by my buddy to a Japanese fashion magazine named BOON, y'know Japanese are fashion freak these days.
So i pack my backpack, grab my Red Loop Levi's, slip on my Vans Old Skool and My freak T's and all alone walk around KL and here what i grab.
I'm a fan of Stussy, Zoo York, Billabong, Dickies, Ben Davis, Ben Sherman, Fred Perry, Converse, Vans, Bathing Ape, Fuct and a lot of street wear clothing. Who toldcha there's no more 'Made in USA' stuff these days ??? Yeahhh, most American company move their manufacturing to cheap labour country like China, Indonesia, Thailand, Mexico and not forgotten Malaysia.
I'm still looking for a cool US made brand coz third world manufactured can't comply like what being produced in the USA. Their quality kinda slight behind the origin country DUH ! Some more an imitation product is widely sold here, it's pretty sad since the local authority wasn't enforce and raid their outlet, nairmind i'll do my part to choose the original stuff only. Go dump in hell ya' imitation cheap stuff !
