Disorder in the American courts
These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts, and are (purportedly) things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters that had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place. Hard to believe some of these - but they are pretty funny.
ATTORNEY: "What was the first thing your husband said to you that morning?"
WITNESS: He said, "Where am I, Cathy?"
ATTORNEY: "And why did that upset you?
WITNESS: "My name is Susan!"
___________________________________________________

ATTORNEY: "The youngest son, the twenty-year-old, how old is he?"
WITNESS: "He's twenty, much like your IQ."

WITNESS: "No, this is how I dress when I go to work."
______________________________________
ATTORNEY: "Doctor, how many of your autopsies have you performed on dead people?"
WITNESS: "All of them. The live ones put up too much of a fight."

ATTORNEY: "ALL your responses MUST be oral, OK? What school did you go to?"
WITNESS: "Oral."

ATTORNEY: "Do you recall the time that you examined the body?"

WITNESS: "If not, he was by the time I finished."

ATTORNEY: "Are you qualified to give a urine sample?"

ATTORNEY: "Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?"
WITNESS: "No."
ATTORNEY: "Did you check for blood pressure?"
WITNESS: "No."
ATTORNEY: "Did you check for breathing?"
WITNESS: "No."
ATTORNEY: "So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?"
WITNESS: "No."
ATTORNEY: "How can you be so sure, doctor?"

Love that Endures....
A touching story.......
Red roses were her favorites, her name was also Rose.
And every year her husband sent them, tied with pretty bows.
The year he died, the roses were delivered to her door.
The card said, "Be my Love," like all the years before.
She thought, he ordered roses in advance before this day.
Her loving husband did not know, that he would pass away.
He always liked to do things early, way before the time.
Then, if he got too busy, everything would work out fine.
She trimmed the stems, and placed them in a very special vase.
Then, sat the vase beside the portrait of his smiling face.
She would sit for hours, in her husband's favorite chair.
While staring at his picture, and the roses sitting there.
A year went by, and it was hard to live without her mate.
With loneliness and solitude, that had become her fate.
Then, the very hour, as on her Birthday before,
The doorbell rang, and there were roses, sitting by her door
She brought the roses in, and then just looked at them in shock.
Then, went to get the telephone, to call the florist shop.
The owner answered, and she asked him, if he would explain,
Why would someone do this to her, causing her such pain?
"I know your husband passed away, more than a year ago,"
The owner said, "I knew you'd call, and you would want to know."
"The flowers you received today, were paid for in advance."
"Your husband always planned ahead, he left nothing to chance."
"There is a standing order, that I have on file down here,
And he has paid, well in advance, you'll get them every year.
There also is another thing, that I think you should know,
He wrote a special little card...he did this years ago."
"Then, should ever, I find out that he's no longer here,
That's the card...that should be sent, to you the following year."
She thanked him and hung up the phone, her tears now flowing hard.
Her fingers shaking, as she slowly reached to get the card.
Inside the card, she saw that he had written her a note.
Then, as she stared in total silence, this is what he wrote...
"Hello my love, I know it's been a year since I've been gone,
I hope it hasn't been too hard for you to overcome."
"I know it must be lonely, and the pain is very real.
For if it was the other way, I know how I would feel.
The love we shared made everything so beautiful in life.
I loved you more than words can say, you were the perfect wife."
"You were my friend and lover, you fulfilled my every need.
I know it's only been a year, but please try not to grieve.
I want you to be happy, even when you shed your tears.
That is why the roses will be sent to you for years."
"When you get these roses, think of all the happiness,
That we had together, and how both of us were blessed.
I have always loved you and I know I always will.
But, my love, you must go on, you have some living still."
"Please...try to find happiness, while living out your days.
I know it is not easy, but I hope you find some ways.
The roses will come every year, and they will only stop,
When your door's not answered, when the florist stops to knock."
"He will come five times that day, in case you have gone out.
But after his last visit, he will know without a doubt,
To take the roses to the place, where I've instructed him,
And place the roses where we are, together once again."

Each year he sent her roses, and the note would always say,
"I love you even more this year, than last year on this day."
"My love for you will always grow, with every passing year."
She knew this was the last time that the roses would appear.
"I love you even more this year, than last year on this day."
"My love for you will always grow, with every passing year."

Ku Ingin Bahagia...
Berikanku bahagia
Hidup bebas
Mencari jalan sendiri
Jauhi akan derita
Ku jangan diganggu lagi
Kasihanilah
Ku ingin nikmat bahagia
Menempuh hidup baru
Kata manis sumpahan
Janji akan setia
Curahan ketika kita
Dalam bermesra
Oh itu Hanyalah godaan
Memujuk hati ini
Oh itu telah pun ku tahu
Diriku telah terpedaya

Ini Jalan Bukan Kau Yg Punya!
Balik Raya Fever is nearing. And so is another chapter of long-hours stucked in traffic jams, accidents and all sort of things that test the limit of our patience and tolerance. Those listed down below, please bear in mind that those highways, federal roads, lorong-lorong dan denai-denai, adalah hak milik bersama!
Road Hoggers
What can I say…I just hate ‘em!!! When you are driving on the highway @ 110kmh (?) on the right lane and then you had to hit on the brake just because the car in in front is too dense to understand that lane is for overtaking or emergency and NOT for cruising leisurely @ 80kmh!!! Not when the other lane is clear for you to continue your ‘makan angin’. Come on la…stop being so selfish. To make the matter even worse, tu diaa..tengah dok bersayang-sayang dengan awek kat handphone. Instantly, 9 naga aku keluaq. Hangennnn... Because of these inconsiderate fellas, I’ve become a tailgater (which I hate!), flashing hi-beam like crazy and if that still fail, I blare my honked! Please la…I hate honking people.
Tailgaters
Owh yes…these people really gets on my nerves. Say, @ the 3-lane highway, m driving in the middle, another car is overtaking me albeit slowly. Fine. In the rear-mirror I could see a fierce looking red BMW is coming on really fast n flashing it’s light to the overtaking car beside me, signaling the driver ‘get-out-of-my-way’. Eh hello Mr. BMW, ko buta ke ape? That fella is trying to overtake me. Wait je la. But whatever. Not my prob. Then why I hate this type of driver? Haa…when that BMW is flashing his lights, and honking like mad, the driver in front of him gets panic or really disturb, tambah-tambah kalo awek baru dapat lesen or kete baru. So, that driver will swerve into my lane with just ngam2 gap between our cars. Whadda heck! Bahaya siot! Tau la your car canggih,canggun,aku terliur tengok, but there's no call for rudeness. Even if you look like Shah Rukh, sikit pon aku xhengen if that's how you are! That’s 1 of the hundreds reasons why I just hate those tailgaters. I hate road hoggers coz they made me into a tailgater which I hate!
Mat Rempit
Need to be said more on these inebriate fools? Bazir ATP di bulan Ramadhan jek...Buat malu kaum je.
Drivers who don’t indicate
Eh, hello! What does indicator means? Masa test JPJ pandai lak pakai kan pakai. It’s not that hard to flick on the indicator. Tak luak pon kehenseman n kemachoan korg. It’s really bugging me. You want to change lane, nak cilok gua, ok, gua tak kesah. But bagi la signal. Then, dengan berat hati aku akan bagi jalan coz at least you are considerate enough to warn me of your ciloking. If the road is devoid of any cars that could cause accident then if you want to zig-zagging the lanes pon nobody cares.
1 word comes to mind when it comes to these people- VULTURES! Yep... I wonder if these guys get a sudden flush of adrenalin seeing others' misfortune or misery. If not, then why are they gawking and slowing their cars unnecessarily and causing another bout of congestion? Eh hello Makcik! Move la. Don’t cause another accident. ingat tu free show ke?? Maybe they are too caring… wanting to see if everything is OK. But, weird thing is, they don’t stop to help. If they do, then it’s humanitarian indeed. It’s hard to find Good Samaritan these days. But usually, that is rarely the case…
Drivers braking without any reason
Stop braking unnecessarily. It’s annoying. Tak pasal-pasal aku jadi gelabah ingat emergency brake. If the traffics are heavy, then drive slowly. Bukan tailgating the car in front. Ko nak laju camne time congested camtu?? When they tailgate, mula la membrek dan aku akan jadi stark raving mad!
Drivers who have no clue on speed limit
What are speed limits for? If you are ignorance of the reasons then don’t drive until you have an idea. But if you know but couldn’t care any less then you are a disgrace. They are reason why the authority puts up 60kmh, 80kmh, and 110kmh at various locations. They take into account the terrains, road conditions, climate and other factors that contribute to traffic safety. Those drivers, who can’t read the sign, are putting others at risk. 1 accident that caused by hydro-skidding can lead up to a massive pile-up! Last week, on my way to work, as I exited the SKVE and went into the road leading to Putrajaya, which is nearly a 360 degree turn, a car, Kelisa, was in the middle of the road, badly damaged. Luckily there was a police present, signaling us to keep away and slow down. So the car in front of me managed to slow down and steer clear of the Kelisa. I was driving slowly at that time as it was raining and the road was slippery, so did the cars behind me. Alhamdulillah, all of us escape unscathed. So, to those mulish drivers, mind the speed limit!
Road Ragers
Sempena hari baik bulan baik, maaf-maaf la sikit2 tu. You got personal problem? Who doesn’t? awek ko curang? Ko curang la balik. Go and vent your anger elsewhere. Not on the road and definitely on the other drivers. You think you are too big too bagus? You got connection with Along Bukit Beruntung? Aku keturunan ke 7 Daeng Perani. Raja Siam pon kalah dengan dia. You 'Pedaki' members? You got ayah? I got ayah also....Who cares! You mess with me, me cabut.. Gila ape nak tunggu…Lariiiii…..
Driver/passenger who litter
Zero civic awareness. Fine. But when you drive in front of me and start throwing out things without any thought of people behind you, memang ko nak kene maki kan? If in your youth, you represent the state in discus throw @ the Olimpik, fine la. Tak de la kete aku tu bermandikan sos keropok lekor. Ini lawan gusti tangan ngan budak tadika pon belum tentu menang.... 1 thing if they throw out food, and entirely different thing if the are smoking like the Fire Dragon of the East then throw out the cigarette butts, yang masih berbara2 kelepek kene kereta aku… hahaha… memang membara aku! You wanna die, fine by me, keep on smoking till your internal organs rot and fester with maggots and and your external organs got infected with gangrene and fall off! Lantak ko la labu. But when you throw that disgusting and sickening thing out and somehow it landed on other people’s vehicle, ko memang bangang. End of story.

Five Minds for the Future: A Review
The world is getting quite ruthless and the competition is fierce, and made even harder by the globalization. In order to survive the era to come, we need to have an edge over everyone by equipping ourselves with skills to give us the extra mile we sorely needed to excel and thrive. When it comes to that, nothing is more powerful than the right mindset or mental framework. In Five Minds for the Future, Howard Gardner, explores five dimensions of intelligence or thinking that require to be mastered in order to succeed.
Discipline Mind- can be developed via training to perfect a skill which means able to systematically approach problems in one’s area of expertise, as well as gathering and mastering the broad knowledge areas of one’s profession. The process to get the Discipline is lengthy and gruelling as it needs time and effort to master it and continue to hone it without stop beyond formal education. However, it can be fashioned if one is diligent enough.
Synthesizing Mind- able to gather up separate or seemingly unrelated parts of information and mesh them into a cohesive explanation that can be understood by one and other. This calls for the ability to analyse the data from vast sources of information which come in at a rapid rate, sort it accordingly and form it into something that make sense. Synthesizing will be mush efficient when one master the Discipline Mind as the information can be distinguished with expertise.
Creating Mind- going beyond the existing knowledge, able to look at the details of a situation or profession (product of synthesizing mind) and create incremental and significant changes that are original and out-of-the-box to benefit their organization or the profession as a whole. Creating mind is interlinked with Discipline and Synthesizing Mind. One must possess the first two before proceeding to the creating level.
Respectful Mind - ability to sidestep the common stereotypes of people or groups, acknowledge the differences and tolerate divergence. It’s tough to find the common ground with other but can be achieved through Discipline Mind.
Ethical Mind - how one interacts with oneself, trying to understand the role and act beyond self-interest, and society, doing what is the correct thing to be done for the good of all.
He is correct in his view that current education laid emphasis on science, technology and mathematics. Students are accumulating the factual or subject matter knowledge and memorizing formulae. Yet these students unable to answer when ask a question outside their familiar subject matter, meaning that they are unable to master it fully. The current concept of education needs to be revisit in hope to cope with the changing world. Students need to be exposed to social sciences, the humanities, arts, civics, ethics, health, safety as well with equal hours in the curriculum.
I however, personally disagree when
“Any talk of understanding the world- let alone adding to current understanding through further work in a discipline- would have seen exotic. Folklore, common sense, an occasional word from the wise sufficed. (Some varieties of Islamic education still embrace this vision.)”. [2]
Here, he assumes on the premise that education Islam relies on the Words of Holy Quran and Al-Hadith, passing the knowledge from generation to generation, accepting the knowledge uttered by the wise without any question, any judgement. Whereas in Islam, we know that the Words of Holy Quran are the truth and the knowledge in it explains the science which the world knows today. And to compare it to folklore or depending on the word of the wise is an erroneous judgement because those who study Al-Quran and analyse the words and the meaning it conveys would be successful in life just like those geniuses of the past, Al-Khwarizmi, Al-Farabi, Ibn Sina and Al-Battani. Therefore, Muslim does not merely accepting the ‘words of the wise’ –as

Maids to get one day off a week: THE DRAMA IT WILL ENTAILS
Maids to get one day off a week
2009/09/03
KUALA LUMPUR: Indonesians maids will be given one day off a week and be allowed to keep their passports during their stay in the country.
The Home Ministry, in a statement yesterday, stated that the rest day requirement would be enforced after amendments were made to the Employment Act 1955.
These terms were agreed on by Malaysia and Indonesia at the third meeting of the Working Committee on the Recruitment and Placement of Indonesian Maids on Aug 20, it added.
The Malaysian delegation was led by the ministry's secretary-general Datuk Seri Mahmood Adam.
The meeting also agreed that the temporary work permits of Indonesian maids who ran away from their employers would be revoked immediately and the maids would not be allowed to enter Malaysia again to work. – Bernama
Wahhh… this is goin’ to be painful. Think I’d rather spend the day @ home than having to elbow my way through the throng…
Yes, in term of human rights or things like that, yes, it makes a whole lot of sense. These people come from Godforsaken places, in the search of a better life, to support their families back home. They have to bear the difficulties of being away from children, parents, husbands and well you get the drift. Not only that, coupled with the household chores and some unlucky enough to get impossible employer, who fusses over everything. Not only these maids get to be nanny, cooks, gardener, they also are the car washer, seamstress and other things as well.
Back then, in the British Victorian Era, the Lords employed hundreds of servants to manage his estate. Butler, footman, stable boy, nanny, chamber maid, cook, gardener, valet and maid for the mistress, just to name a few. They are specialized in their task. Nowadays, those maids are all in 1. untung jugak kan?
My sis used to have maid. After 4 of them, she called it quit. No more. Too many problem. Dapat yang baik ‘Seri’, after 2 tahun nak balik ke suami n anak2. then dapat yang ala2 gatal..couldn’t recall her name. Haha… After that, early forties widowed-Indonesian ‘Ida’. Good at work but she’s just sad. My heart went out for her everytime I looked at her…my mom told us she got problems at home with her in-laws… my mom ni, semua orang die nak buat sedara. Huhu…so last2 nanti kena pijak kepala. at last, Ida just ran away. The last 1 is younger than me whom my sis just couldn’t get along with…so off she went.
The negative side I’m mulling in my head is that, I just don’t think it’s the best way to approach this issue. Can you just imagine the crowd? People hanging around the malls, parks, every cemented place that can be found in KL… Yup, I can. It’ll be just like the last time I went to Medan. Packed, crammed, and jammed! Not to mention the new odour that’s gonna linger on your shirt….
Whatever pon, we just wait and see…. I bet it’s gonna be interesting.

I Dream of …. Part 1
Ever since I was lil’ gurl (yeah… do believe it), I’ve been watching this picturesque place in most of the Hindi films. The heroin dancing in the sloping green hill with yellow flowers softly swaying in the gentle breeze, the hero shouting at the top of his lung, happily calling out for his gurl, thus announcing his eternal love. Films such as Kashmir Ki Kali, Aap Aaye Bahar Aaye, Junglee, Kabhi-Kabhi, Jab Jab Phool Khile and Betaab have been forever etched in my memory, what with that romantic scenes in the snow clad hills and moving in the lush green plains that is rolling on and on. Simply breathtaking. That is the magic of Kashmir, the heaven on earth. Once dubbed the most beautiful place in the world. It's beauty is unrivaled.
The yesteryear film productions preferred to shot their film here rather than the foreign locales e.g Switzerland, Austria. Why wouldn’t they when they have such exquisite places like Sri Nagar, Pahalgam, Wuller Lake and so forth.
I Dreamed of This 20 Years Ago...
Hill Station Attraction
Kashmir...in Fall
Kashmir Ki Kali: Shammi is wooing Sharmila Tagore
Flowers in Bloom for Lovers in Love
Dreamin' of this while singing "Yeh Samaan Pyar Ke"
However, the land has been plagued by the territorial disputes between Pakistan, India, China and people of Kashmir. India's official position is that Kashmir is an "integral part" of India. Pakistan's official position is that Kashmir is a disputed territory whose final status must be determined by the people of Kashmir. Certain Kashmiri independence groups believe that Kashmir should be independent of both India and Pakistan. Kashmir’s population is made up hugely by Muslims as depicted in below figure.
So no wonder Pakistan is fighting like mad to get it. It belongs to the people and most of them are Muslim.
During the early days of the conflict somewhere in 1950, neighboring tribe in Pakistan decided to free those Muslim in Kashmir from India. The most prominent tribe was Pathan, my grandada’s clan! No wonder I love this place so much…hehe. Pathan tribesmen number was larger than the Mughal at that time, fought with bravery and determination to save their Muslim brothers. And here I thought my grandada was weaving carpets during his youth. Hehe
So it really is a waste that the conflict has torn the beautiful valley apart. The land was being shredded like a piece of meat thrown over to pack of hungry wolves by the British administration led my Mountbatten.
The timeless beauty had been compromised… and I never got the chance to realize my dream…
