I can't wait dinner time!

I read a post in fb recently and I thought I would try to make it more spicy for you to read. After all, why should they stop at breakfast?

A wife prepared breakfast for her husband and waited patiently at the table. Her husband was already late and looked likely that he would skip breakfast.

Wife: darling, why don't you eat your breakfast? 

Husband: I'm late.

Wife: I prepared your favourite breakfast.

Then the husband came to the table, bend and kissed his wife. It was a long and passionate kiss.

Husband: this is my breakfast.

Wife: I can't wait dinner time.

Kesah Pak Man.

'Assalamualaikum.....'

Siapalak yang bagi salam waktu nak maghrib ni, kata Pak Man di dalam hati. Pak Man bingkas bangun sambil menjawab salam dan menjengah di pintu. Waktu tu hujan renyai-renyai dan kelihatan seorang lelaki berketayap dan memakai baju melayu sedang berdiri di luar pagar. Pak Man pun keluar rumah dan memakai selipar bata.

'Ada apa nak?

'Saya hendak tumpang berteduh'

'Kamu siapa? Dari mana? Hendak ke mana?'

Soalan Pak Man tidak berjawab tetapi lelaki tersebut memandang tepat ke muka Pak Man dengan matanya terkebil-kebil.

Pak Man rasa tidak sedap hati dan mengarahkan lelaki tersebut berlalu pergi.

Selang seminggu, kisah Pak Man tidak membenarkan seorang lelaki untuk tumpang berteduh sudah jadi bualan hangat di surau, balai raya, stesen minyak, kedai kopi, 7 eleven, pasar besar, pasar pagi, pasar malam, starbuck dsbnya. Pak Man tidak kesah dengan cakap-cakap sebegitu kerana mereka semua tidak berada semasa Pak Man mengarahkan lelaki terbut beredar.

Pak Man menunggu masa yang sesuai untuk menjelaskan isu-isu berbangkit. Maka hari dan waktu yang ditunggu pun tiba. Di Pasar Malam.

Pak Man datang ke setiap pasar malam sambil membawa pembesar suara.

Assalamualaikum awal cara
Mukaddimah pembuka bicara
Izinkan saya berkata
Untuk terangkan duduk perkara

Gemuruh kesah saya mengarahkan seorang lelaki pergi dan tidak membenarkan lelaki tersebut menumpang teduh. Saya tidak akan mempertahankan tindakan saya dan saya juga tidak akan memaksa tuan-tuan dan puan-puan mengubah tanggapan terhadap saya.

Saya ada satu cerita dan berharap agar tuan-tuan dan puan-puan sudi mendengarnya sebagaimana tuan-tuan dan puan-puan sudi mengdengar umpatan terhadap saya dan menyambut umpat ke orang lain. Sabar ya. Saya mulakan ceritanya.

Pada suatu petang, keharmonian rumah Pak Ali diganggu dengan jerit pekik orang kampung memaki Pak Ali kerana dikatakan tidak tahu mendidik anak. Pak Ali yang terpinga-pinga terus bertanyakan hal sebenar. Pak Ali menuntut hak dia untuk diberitahu kesah sebenar. Ketua gerombolan menuduh anak Pak Ali telah meraba anak gadis seorang penduduk kampung. Pak Ali mendengar dengan taat dan tidak berkata apa-apa. Pak Ali bersabar dengan bahasa yang digunakan oleh mereka. Apabila ada ruang untuk Pak Ali berkata, maka Pak Ali minta mereka bersabar dan ingin menyiasat. 'Saya minta maaf kerana saya tidak tahu menahu apa yang sebenarnya yang telah berlaku.' Kata Pak Ali cuba meredakan kemarahan.

Tiba-tiba, seorang pemuda menempelak...

'Pak Ali oi.... Memang le Pak Ali tidak tahu menahu, tapi tugas Pak Ali ialah kena ambik tahu.'

'Tuan-tuan dan Puan-puan, saya hanya menjalankan tugas seorang ayah dan suami semasa saya mengarahkan lelaki tersebut untuk beredar. Saya lebih mementingkan keselamatan ahli keluarga saya. Jika sesuatu berlaku, saya tetap akan dipersalahkan kerana tidak ambil tahu.' kata Pak Man sambil menutup pembesar suara dan mengemaskan barangan yang dibawa.

Asal nama tempat

Telok Gong, Kelang
Ulu Melaka, Langkawi
Pulau Melaka, Kelantan
Simpang Empat, Perlis

Di atas adalah beberapa contoh nama tempat di Malaysia. Kesemua nama tesebut samada menggunakan nama Melaka atau mempunyai tempat yang namanya sama di Melaka.

Mengikut ceritera lama, ghamai penduduk yang berasal daghi Melaka telah berpindah ke luau negeghi. Sebagai memperingati asal usul dan ketughunan megheka, maka tempat baghu megheka bermastautin, megheka letaklah nama asal kampung megheka di Melaka atau megheka megheka satu nama baghu tetapi menggunakan nama Melaka sebagai tanda ingat.

Sebenaunya yang paling menaghik pehatian aku ialah persamaan Umbai di Melaka dan Mumbai di India. Semasa depa buat keja koghek tanah kat tapak asal Polis Pelancung, depa tejumpa satu manuskrip mengenai asal nama Mumbai. Ghupanya manuskrip tu menceghitakan perihal ketughunan Shah Rukh Khan. Kalau tak silap akulah, itulah sebab utama Shah Rukh Khan mendapat gelaran Datuk daghi keghajaan Negeghi Melaka.

Questions, anyone?

When I worked with one company, my late boss always had something good to share with me. His name was Chris Leong Jan Foo .

One of the things that I hold dear to my heart was this session when he asked me a very simple question.

'Rosman, do you know why people ask questions.?

I can't remember what was my reply.

He said, there are at least three reasons why people ask questions.

1. Because they didn't know, and they want answers. For example, when a child ask a parent a question. Curiosity needs to be satisfied. That's why they ask. Or a student asking for clarifications. Teachers must provide the answers.

2. Because they want to test the other person. When a teacher ask a question, students must provide the answer. Based on that, teachers can gauge students performance. When a boss ask an employee work related question, it is also a way to know the knowledge the employees have gathered since the first day. Remedial action can be taken, or sending them to courses to help them become a better person.

3. Because they want to ridicule you. They'll use your answer against you immediately or later in the future. This kind of question normally comes with sarcastic intonation. Beware with this kind of question as you might regret later providing an answer. You can spot this question during argument, debate and so on. They enticed with flowery language. Once you are trapped, they will kill you with your answers. Be careful with this kind of question. He kept on reminding me with that.

What I learnt over the years, it was true. What I observed thus far was that, some people thought they were asking questions. What they didn't realize was that, they were actually opening up a small window into their brain for others to see that it was full of rubbish. Just stay away from these kind of people

I missed those special moment working with him.

A man on the bridge.

One day, a man was walking and he saw another man on the bridge. He guessed that the other man wanted to jump. From far he yelled, 'hey there, wait! don't jump. Talk to me will ya.' The other man was stopped just in time.

'What seems to be the problem? What is so serious that you contemplating suicide? Come down and we talk, okay' said the man. The other man just stood there and stared at the man. After a while, he backed off towards safety.

The other man thought he found salvation. Maybe he was lucky.

They talked. It seems that the other man had lost everything. His business went kaput. His wife left him for another man, with his children tagging along. His friends suddenly can't be reached by phone. He had to give his house and car key to the bank.

'I have nothing. All that I had built disappeared.'

With that, both men jumped and they died.
