Rosmah Mansor

She is our Prime Minister's wife. A lot have been said about her...especially she being a shoppaholic and spendthrift. ' Boros' in our language. Pictures of her having this and that ....wearing this and that have been splashed all over the medias and the internet.

I've seen her photographs wearing expensive jewelries. But I have only this to say. Those jewelries might be fake costing much much much less than what they seemed to be. I've seen those jewelries sold for a fraction of the real thing in the internet. I remember a relative of mine said if you have a big car, whatever you wear people will think it's the real thing but if you have a small car, whatever real thing you wear people think it is fake.

So it will not surprised me what Rosmah is wearing are fakes. She has a lot of functions to attend and a lot of clothes to wear. I for one, would not want my Prime Minister's wife look 'selekeh' in any functions. For you out there, there are lots and lots of fake jewelry to be bought from the internet that look so real for a fraction of the price of the real thing. Buy them to your hearts content.

Just Say Good Things

Lately, I felt most people tend to talk bad about something, someone or whatever else that they don't like. My dear husband always says to me ...if you do not have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. I tried my very best to follow his advice though sometimes it was very hard. It is hard for him too. So we keep reminding each other on this.

Before I went for my Hajj, I prayed to Allah that I will only say good things..True enough .. I became a quiter person. By nature I'm a talkative person. There's a lot of things that were happening around me that I didn't quite like, but I can't seemed to talk bad about them. Praise to Allah that I became a better person during that time. I hope I will continue doing that. That's why I like Anas Zubedy call for all Malaysians to say good things even about your enemies.

But the general election is coming soon..I dare not think about the months, weeks before the election. I just hope those in the politics just say good things...the good things that they have done and the good things that they are going to do.. Please, please refrain from saying the bad things ...from the bad policies, character assasination or the like. I got tired reading about them either in the newspapers or the internet.

With that said, I hope everyone of us will try to be a better person. I know sometimes we want to express ourselves and some things need to be be said. Just say it in a general way. I know its easy to say than done...

The Gardener in Me

My pomegranate trees have grown really tall, almost seven feet tall. It's too early for them to bear fruits just yet. Just a few weeks ago, one of the trees bore a flower. Yes, only one flower and I got so excited over that one flower. However, it just dropped dead just like that. My nona plant is doing well too. So are my avocadoes, lemon, mulberry, papaya, calamansi and kaffir limes. Most of the plants I've already transplanted in the large rubbish bins. Some in the plastic pails that I've got very cheap from the Tesco sales.

The funny thing is that I cannot say the same about my vegetables. My zuchinni really grew very well and suddenly one of the plants succumbed to the soft rot. I don't think it's a common disease to zuchinni. The other two plants are well and only producing male flowers so there goes the fruits since my plants are barren. The last zuchinni is like 'hidup segan mati tak mahu'. My cantaloupe also suffer from the same fate of hidup segan mati tak mahu.

I guess I am more of the fruit tree person rather than the vegetable person. But I am not giving up hope despite with no encouragement from my family. I am determined to make my fruit trees and vegetables grow so that I can taste the fruit of my so called hard labour. One other thing, the other day, the garbage truck pick up all my compost that I've been saving for my plants. Serves me right for making the rubbish bin as a compost bin....even the garbage man isn't supportive of my gardening!!!!.

Do Not Do Unto Others.........

Do you remember when you were little and used to fight among your friends? One of the most hurtful things you might said was 'kepala bapak kau'. The head is one of the most revered things. It holds the crown of your being. To say 'kepala bapak kau' and stepped on it is the most disgraceful act any person can do. But children being children they outgrew it. Parents will reprimand them when they said such things. Good parents, I mean. What about those children whose parents adhere to whatever they were doing? . These children grew up and become the ones who show  their butts to the pictures of our Prime Minister and his wife and stepped on them too.

Would you be angry when others do that to the pictures of your parents? . I bet 100 percent that you are willing to lift up your arms and fight for the sanctity of your parents.

Those people are kurang ajar because their parents never teach them. Oh! ..your parents did teach you to behave....Then why are you doing unto others what you don't want others do unto you? Kenapa tak ada adab ? And you said jangan sebut pasal bapak tak ajar? Isn't Najib a parent to his children? How would his children feel? Yes, you don't care...

If I were your parent, I'd be ASHAMED having you as my son. Period.

Jalur Gemilang

The thing about Malaysian politics is that they politicised almost everthing and almost everyday.  There are a few things that should not be politicised at all. One is our national flag..the Jalur Gemilang.

The Jalur Gemilang is the very entity of Malaysia. The whole world knows Malaysia through the Jalur Gemilang. During the olympics, commonwealth games, meetings even those rows of flags at the United Nation building, the Jalur Gemilang stands tall with other nations' flags.

The Jalur Gemilang should be protected at all costs. During wars of olden days, the flag bearer is the most inportant person. If he drops the flag, it was as if the country has lost a war. It has become the symbol of a nation. It cannot be compromised even if you don't like it.

The Malaysian youths who came up with a new flag were not even born when the nation has the Jalur Gemilang.  They never fought for the independence. They never shed blood for their country against communism. What right do they have to change the Malaysian flag? Hadn't their parents taught them anything than being kurang ajar? We got our independence without a drop of blood and now we want to let go of it with bloodshed? That doesn't make sense.

I have this one thing to say to those Malaysians...read the Islamic history of a person who carried the Islamic flag during the Holy wars. When his right hand was cut off - he held the flag with his left hand. When the left hand was cut off - he held the flag with his mouth....until someone else took over the flag from him. Would any of you still carry the 'new flag' when the police fires tear gases at you?
Definitely a big NO...
