Kisah benar: sewaktu berumur 7 tahun, saya pernah buat eksperimen. Masa tu ibu sudah balik ke kampung, cuma tinggal saya dan kakak serta ayah yang menunggu untuk cuti hari raya.
Bila balik dari sekolah, ayah pesan supaya masak nasi. Kami berdua pun masaklah. Entah macam mana, datang idea nak buat eksperimen.
Mula-mula kami tambah susu manis. Lepas tu bubuh teh. Kalau tak silap teh wangi, memang warnanya merah. Dah tak ingat dah apa lagi yang kami bubuh.
Bila masak, nasi tu rasanya manis, berwarna merah jambu.
Takut kena marah, kami buang nasi tu, dan masak yang lain.....
Kenangan manis!

Jiwa berasa
Bila nukilan mencuit
Rasa terpicit
Minda bergelora memikir
Hati membuak mengukir
Luah kata dimampir
Ikut sama berdikir
Rasa terpicit
Minda bergelora memikir
Hati membuak mengukir
Luah kata dimampir
Ikut sama berdikir
Bukan rezeki namanya
Bukan rezeki namanya
walau tertulis nama kita
kitalah pemiliknya
jika belum diguna
untuk menfaat bersama
Bukan rezeki namanya
walau dalam saku letaknya
selagi tidak diguna
untuk menfaat manusia
Bukan rezeki namanya
walau dikunyah menggula
selagi belum ditelan seluruhnnya
bisa termuntah loya
Bukan rezeki namanya
hanya amanah cuma
untuk dijaga dipelihara
demi menfaat semua
Janganlah tamak haloba
Kongsilah apa yang ada
Kitakan tidak seorang cuma
Didunia yang pasti fana

Street photography tips - by KFJ
(I c&p these tips from Abedib's FB, written by KFJ).
By Khairil Faizi Jamian:
Some quick tips for streets photography AbeDib, something that I have been trained & learned from some professional photojournalists/ documentary photographers:
1) Clothing:
- "Neutral color": khakis or dark pants, white/ black grey shirt – comfortable for the time of the day
- No glaring colors – this will attract attention
... Read more
2) Equipments:
- Minimalist: bring only what you know you will need – wide angle lens/ prime/ maybe zoom lens would do the work for some people. Speed lights? (Well…maybe not!). Battery grip? Depends on your shooting style.
- Make sure your batteries are fully charged & place at the fast access compartment of your bag / pants, so you would not take much time to replace the used unit
- Memory cards – fresh & empty. Bring extras & place place at the fast access compartment of your bag / pants.
- Sling or backpack – up to you but as minimal as possible – you need to move fast and slow, fast & slow, so you need energy to bring lotsa load, so go figure!
- Water bottle might help if you are working long hours in areas where bottled water supply is hard to get
- Small towel & extra t-shirt just incase you have to work longer hours for that extra “uumph” shots!
... Read more
4) PLAN your work:
- know what you want to get, sketch it.
- know your route (and escape route if it’s not a friendly neighborhood)
- if you are working in groups,2 is the acceptable count, 3 is the max, anymore than 3, is a circus.
- respect the subjects & community – it’s not about you with your expensive equipments but it’s about you knowing them and doing something for them.
- be friendly, very friendly, read their body language – positive or negative & act/ re-act accordingly
Happy hunting AbeDib!

Empty Cup
I received an email in a yahoogroup, but I don't remember which. It contains the following summary:
Someone wrote:
The empty hole in the center
of a cup is the useful part.
Brad replied:
Not while it's empty.
Lynda asks
Isn't it still useful while it's empty?
Pat states:
Yes it is, as it is a possibility.
Peter says:
Everything has value and worth..even space...
depends on one's orientation to seeing value
and worth in life and the Universe and "in space."
Doug continues:
An empty hole is useful. An empty glass has
nothing to offer. An empty glass can be filled.
What you fill the space with can be beautiful
or haunting
David Adds:
What makes one assume that a hole is really
empty to begin with? It may not contain
something we can see but this does not mean
it's really empty. Maybe we can look closer
to see that something is there?
Vic Challenges:
It's the same pattern as a road. The empty road
can be seen as more useful to travelers than a
full one. And a full road or full cup is being
used to capacity. It's a change of definition to
make a cup into a baseball or a road into a
parking lot. The hole or empty part of the cup
enables it to be useful as a cup. The emptiness
pattern in the road allows travel.
Brad reinserts:
All with emptiness.
Francis adds:
Full, half-full, half-empty. empty with a hole,
empty without a hole. Realizing the state of
the container, is the first step to doing something
positive about it. The first step. Many of us
are unable or struggling to take that first step.
Doug questions:
The cup can be equivalent to life purpose. Whatever
is added to the cup takes the shape of the cup or
life purpose. Some discuss the difference between
half empty versus half full. My question is: are you
pouring or are you drinking?
Dale offers:
I am the cup.
wah yuen expresses:
You have to pour first before you can drink.
Those who try to drink from the cup of life
before contributing towards it will only taste
emptiness.
Francis reflects:
I have decided that I have to act on the
given situation. Am I a taker or a giver?
Do I think of myself and act for my benefit
only? Do I think of others (friends &
colleagues- to be appreciated) without a
thought for myself or my loved ones. Do I
share what I have with all.
Vic mentioned elsewhere:
Silence can be like the hole in the cup. The
most useful part.
Neha jumps in:
Well, are we discussing the empty space or
the cup? The empty space is empty because
we see it that way, it still has air! You
see what you believe. If you see it FILLED
with air...its not as empty...:-)
Rey adds:
The cup runneth over.

USJ ROAR FC - Projek Komuniti
Ahad lepas (Mei 7, 2009) saya telah dijemput oleh kawan saya untuk turut sama membantu sekumpulan pelajar dalam satu program motivasi di Trolak Country Resort.
Pelajar-pelajar ini merupakan sepasukan bolasepak yang telah ditubuhkan atas inisiatif para ibubapa mereka, dan telah bersama sejak tiga tahun lalu. Sejarah mereka telah bermula lebih awal, sekitar tujuh tahun yang lampau bila mereka sama-sama terlibat dalam satu pertandingan bolasepak. Sebagai pasukan bolasepak, mereka pastinya telah melalui beberapa perlawanan yang menyaksikan kemampuan mereka menandingi pasukan-pasukan yang sepatutnya lebih established. Termasuk, berita terakhir yang saya dapat tahu, mereka akan berlawan dengan pasukan bawah 20 negeri Pahang.
Perkara yang menarik perhatian saya ialah kesungguhan para ibubapa ini yang sanggup membantu menjayakan minat anak-anak mereka. Kesemua mereka ini akan menghadapi peperiksaan SPM pada akhir tahun ini. Program yang diaturkan di Trolak adalah untuk membantu mereka terus bersama walau selepas SPM nanti, dan bukan program akademik atau kemahiran belajar.
Turut sama membantu mereka ialah penyanyi Zainal Abidin yang disamping menghiburkan dengan nyanyian, belaiu berkongsi pengalaman pahit manis beliau sewaktu kecil dan bagaimana beliau berusaha sehingga boleh berjaya. Perkara yang paling menarik bagi saya dalam ucapan Zainal Abidin ialah bila beliau berkata "jika kamu mahukan kebebasan, kamu kena kontrol hidup kamu". Pada awalnya saya tidak beri perhatian kepada kata-kata itu, tetapi bila beliau ulangkan semula, frasa itu menangkap minda saya. Benar, jika kita mahukan kebebasan, kita terlebih dahulu perlu mengawal diri kita. Jika kita tidak kawal diri kita, kita mungkin melakukan sesuatu yang menyebabkan kita ditangkap atau sebagainya, dan akan menyebabkan kita tidak bebas lagi. Satu falsafah hidup yang baru pertama kali saya dengar. Saya setuju dengan Zainal Abidin.

Stories That Coach - 1
Sand and Stone
A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert.
During some point of the journey, they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, he wrote in the SAND: Today my best friend slapped me in the face.
They kept on walking, until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but his friend saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a STONE: Today my best friend saved my life.
The friend, who had slapped and saved his best friend, asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand, and now, you write on a stone, why?"
The other friend replied: "When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand, where the winds of forgiveness can erase it away, but when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.
Learn to write your hurts in the sand and to carve your blessings in stone.
