Rumah Titian Kasih

-
Assalamualaikum,

Hati sungguh sayu dan marah melihat penghuni Rumah Titian Kasih (RTK) terpaksa berpindah selepas pemiliknya memilih untuk menjual banglo tersebut untuk tujuan komersil berbanding menyewakannya untuk dijadikan rumah kebajikan. They were crying and that broke my heart into pieces.

Hati digaru-garu ingin tahu siapakah pemilik banglo tersebut!

Pengusaha RTK telah ditawarkan untuk membeli banglo tersebut dengan harga 2.7 juta dan sejak itu pelbagai inisiatif telah dilakukan termasuklah menubuhkan Tabung Wakaf RTK, menjual kraf tangan, kuih-muih dan sumbangan oleh individu. Jumlah yang dikumpulkan adalah RM270,000 -- sebagai deposit.

Perkara pertama yang terlintas difikiran, bukankah ada rakyat Malaysia yang tersenarai dalam 100 manusia terkaya di dunia? RM2.7 juta adalah amaun yang amat kecil berbanding kekayaan yang dimiliki. Walaupun tidak tersenarai dalam 100 manusia terkaya di dunia, masih ada rakyat Malaysia yang mampu menambah kutipan RM270 ribu dan menjadikannya RM2.7 juta.

Sebagai negara panji Islam, bukankah ada Baitulmal? Menurut sebuah rencana, Baitulmal sepatutnya boleh menyalurkan bantuan kepada RTK, walaupun pengurusan rumah berkenaan tidak membuat permohonan dan seharusnya mengenepikan prosedur yang sedia ada sesuai dengan keadaan sekarang. Terfikir... adakah pengurusan RTK tidak memohon bantuan daripada Baitulmal? atau adakah pihak Baitulmal terlalu kaku mengikut prosedur? Hmm...

Artikel yang sama juga berkongsi kejayaan Tabung Kemanusiaan Rakyat Palestin yang berjaya mengumpul sebanyak RM14.7 juta sehingga Februari 2009. Kita juga maklum dengan kejayaan banyak pertubuhan bukan kerajaan (NGO) yang mempunyai dana besar dan mendapat liputn meluas dengan misi bantuan mereka ke luar negara. Patutlah ada peribahasa "kera di hutan disusukan, anak di rumah mati tak makan"... Sesuai, memang sesuai...

Akhir zaman... Yang kaya terus kaya, yang miskin semakin merempat. Lebih suka menaja haiwan di zoo, lebih berminat dengan harta dunia (rumah yang berjuta, kereta yang mewah, perkahwinan yang gah, nombor plat kenderaan), membeli pasukan bola sepak dan yayasan yang tersenarai sebagai 100 yang terkaya di dunia... daripada membela anak-anak yatim, ibu tunggal, warga tua serta orang kurang upaya.

Itu namanya, kekayaan yang sengal dan memberatkan dunia je...

Inception: Movie Review

Assalamualaikum, I must thank Mrs. Huy for mentioning about Inception to me. I am not Mr. DiCaprio's fan after Titanic -- hate his hair in Man in the Iron Mask -- while she is so fond of him. Her excitement leads me to do my research on the movie and luckily I love what I found. So here's what I think about Inception [while it already swept every movie lover and Rotten Tomatoes rate it 86%]. First of all, I'd like to say that I love this movie so much. I enjoy it even though I missed few minutes of the beginning [an obvious reason to watch it again]. Most of it because I am a Cognitive Science graduates and the idea of subconscious mind security thrilled me. The other was just me loving this kind of genre -- movie that gives other headache. So it was fun! I think Inception was still too simple for something as mysterious as our subconscious mind. The idea of having a physical device to invade / share dream was not captivating to me. I did not see the connection of the devic...

Assalamualaikum, It's 4th January 2010; First day of working in 2010. Few days left for this 25 years young lady :) I'm turning 26!!! Eventhough at heart I am forever 13... I am so turning 26! Oh... 25 is like standing on the thin line between young and not young. But 26... the "6" indicate that I have cross over to the other side of the world, which is not so young. The hysterics are more on the fact that I am so very much single and that a wedding is expected and that I am having my first baby when most of women my age would have their second and so on and the question will keep on coming and bugging me. Ugh! Hey hey! I am not that girl who weeps over my age. I am proud of turning 26 and the next. Just that living in this world with these big ears, I hear cruel whispers. Don't you dare blaming my ears; you should mind your words and please get a new hobby other than giving people a hard time. In this departure hall of gate 25, I watch a rerun of how I spent my a...

New Moon, Finally

Assalamualaikum, Golden Screen Cinema, Queensbay Mall, Penang. 9.50 pm, C19. A moment of truth... I LOVE IT!!! Oh my... I have so many things to say about New Moon. I'll try to keep it the shortest :D To Stephanie Meyer for her great writings; to Chris Weitz for sticking to the book, to Melissa Rosenberg for the screenplay, and to the production team of New Moon: Thank you for bringing all my favorite parts into living moments - all are the parts I will read every time. You have done it GREAT. Oh yes, some people might not agree with me; as some prefer tea over coffee. The world is not perfect and it's okay :p I know the saga by heart, and I'm not watching New Moon to know the story. I'm watching New Moon to see it in flesh and blood (and abs if I may add), to witness the moments being pictured by different minds and to give credit to the team for their effort in bringing a fiction to real life. New Moon the movie is just like New Moon the book. Hate the beginning; hat...
