Post 53: Things i Checked Before Buying Books.

Do you read books ? What kind of genres do you preferred ? I read almost all genres till i realized I am much more interested on something with facts and evidences, something with statistics and has been analysts. Anyway, other than the contains itself, there would be something that i look after before buying any books, and what are they ?


1. Book's Title

- I always found myself selecting and screening books by it's title first and always being attracted with something which i believe suits enough with my situations or circumstances at that time. For example, whenever i felt a bit unhappy, i would prefer to read something which can help me improved my level of happiness.


2. Font-size Used

- I admit that the smaller size of font used by the publishers would made a turned-off for me. This is a tough calls when i found a very interesting reading materials, however they were using kind of small-sized fonts, i would just put back the books on its rack. I won't buy, because i know it could distracted me from continuous reading. I preferred books with medium to large sized of fonts.


3. Plain white papers

- You know right sometimes the books were printed on the somehow somewhat brownish kind of colored papers ? It looks like a vintage, perhaps but i definitely won't buy because it could turned-on my sleepy mode. Haha. I loved the smells of carbons from fresh white papers ! Okay, i know i am freak ? No, i am uniquely the way i am ;p


4. Book's Covers

- I found this one book with very bright green color covered yesterday. It seems so eye catching i tell you !! It spells sweet ! Just imagine your books with bright colors as covers on the shelf ? Is not it interesting ? However this will only be on my very least things i checked before buying books. If i selected books with very nice covers, it was bonuses ! If not, i would just do not care as i have no. 1 until no. 3 checked !



p/s: Happy Ramadhan to all my Muslim's readers if have any ;)

What is the biggest mistake people make in applying for jobs ?

" The biggest mistake people make in applying for jobs is in not being themselves. Instead of taking their hair down and being completely frank, they often try to give the answers they think you want. But it doesn't work, because nobody wants a phony. Nobody ever wants a counterfeit coin " - Paul Boynton

You and I have such abilities, so let's not waste a second worrying because we are not like other people. You are something new in this world. Never before, since the beginning of time, has there anybody like you, and never again throughout all the ages to come will there ever be anybody exactly like you again.

The science of genetic informs us that you are what you are largely as a result of twenty-three chromosomes by your father and twenty-three chromosomes contributed by your mother. These forty-six chromosomes comprise everything that determines what you inherit.

If you can't be a highway, then just be a trail,
If you can't be the sun, be a star,
It isn't by size that you win or you fail,
Be the best of whatever you are !

Post 49: Lelaki Kacak Bersama Jenazah

I got this note from other's blog entry. It is as a reminder for me and to all Muslims.

Hadis yang Menarik Rasulullah S.A.W

Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) bersabda : 'Bila seseorang lelaki itu mati dan saudaranya sibuk dengan pengebumiannya, berdiri lelaki yang betul-betul kacak di bahagian kepalanya. Bila mayatnya dikapan, lelaki itu berada di antara kain kapan dan si mati.

Selepas pengebumian, semua orang pulang ke rumah, 2 malaikat Mungkar dan Nakir, datang dalam kubur dan cuba memisahkan lelaki kacak ini supaya mereka boleh menyoal lelaki yang telah meninggal itu seorang diri mengenai ketaatannya kepada Allah. Tapi lelaki kacak itu berkata, Dia adalah temanku, dia adalah kawanku. Aku takkan meninggalkannya seorang diri walau apa pun. Jika kamu ditetapkan untuk menyoal, lakukanlah tugasmu. Aku tidak boleh meninggalkannya sehingga aku dapati dia dimasukkan ke dalam Syurga.'

Selepas itu dia berpaling pada temannya yang meninggal dan berkata,'Aku adalah Al-Quran, yang mana kamu membacanya, kadang-kadang dengan suara yang nyaring dan kadang-kadang dengan suara yang perlahan. Jangan bimbang. Selepas soal siasat dari Mungkar dan Nakir, kamu tidak akan bersedih.'

Selepas soal siasat selesai, lelaki kacak mengatur untuknya daripada Al-Mala'ul A'laa (malaikat dalam Syurga) tempat tidur dari sutera yang dipenuhi bauan kesturi

Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) bersabda :'Di hari pengadilan, di hadapan Allah, tiada syafaat yang lebih baik darjatnya daripada Quran, mahupun dari nabi atau malaikat.'

Sila sebarkan Hadis ini kepada semua .......kerana

'Sampaikan pengetahuan dari ku walaupun hanya satu ayat.'

Saat Anda membwa Al-Quran, syaitan biasabiasa saja...tengok je..

Saat Anda membukanya, syaitan mulai curiga.

Saat Anda membacanya, ia resah dan gelisah.

Saat Anda memahaminya, ia kejang kejangan.

Saat Anda mengamalkan Al-Qur'an dlm kehidupan sehari-hari.ia stroke...Teruskn membaca & mengamalknnya agar syaitan terus stroke .

Saat Anda ingin menyebarkan pesanan ini, syaitan pun mencegahnya. Syaitan kata "jgn SEBARKAN, kerana ia tidak penting langsung"

namun kita semestinya menyedari perjuangan Islam adalah tanggungjawab kita.

Post 48: There has always Pros and Cons

I always complaining, not that i am ungrateful with what i had but i opt for a better life. Like a common quotes you usually heard, " Today is better than yesterday " ;p

Before this i worked on rotating shifts. Sometimes i'll be working on night shift for three days straight and got two days off and continued with another two days working on a day shift. Mind you, it was a 12-hours working job and i had a sleeping issues. So usually for my first day night shift, i will not be sleeping for 24 hours, and on the third day, i will be looking like a living corpse.

But, the good thing is i will only be working for 14 days a month ! And the pay date was on 26th every months ! So, i will not have to wait for the payment to be done so long ! I don't know others but as for me, i do not have much or never have financial issues when i worked on shift. " So fast got paid !! I haven't used my last month salaries yet ! " - Seriously, that was what i thought on every 26th BACK THEN !! I do not have so much time spending moneys cause every time i got day-off i will be focusing on sleeping. Yeah, sleep like a baby, or Koala.

And now, i have a normal working hours job. I work for eight hours every day except on Saturday and Sunday. I don't have to work on night (Great !) But i can't stand to wait for 28th every months to get paid. I worked for 28, 30 or 31 days a month and i only get my salary on day 28. Arghh. That is too long for me. And every end of months i surely thought of when the salary will be banked in to my account ! Haha

Moral of the stories, please stop complaining, living your life happily and cherished every single moments in your life.


Nite.
