Ketika pertama kujumpa denganmu
Bukankah pernah kutanyakan padamu kasih
Takkan kecewakah kau pada diriku
Takkan menyesalkah kau hidup denganku kasih


Memang kau bukan yang pertama bagiku
Pernah satu hati mengisi hidupku dulu
Dan kini semua kau katakan padaku
Jangan ada dusta di antara kita kasih


Semua terserah padamu aku begini adanya
Kuhormati keputusanmu, apapun yang akan
Kau katakan, sebelum terlanjur kita jauh
Melangkah, kau katakan saja

Email sent to McDonald Malaysia (justtellus@my.mcd.com)

Dear sir/madam,

I would like to enquire on the following statement:

http://justnoi.se/2009/01/mcdonalds-on-israel/

McDonald's Malaysia is a part of McDonald's worldwide franchise, hence I believe, it is obliged to pay royalty fees to McDonald Corporation USA.
Combined with other McDonald's branches worldwide, this will definitely amount to a very huge amount of money for McD Corp USA.

The statement by McDonald Malaysia argues that:

1) McDonald's Malaysia is formed within the laws of Malaysia, provides local employments, supports local businesses (suppliers), pay taxes to the Malaysian Government.
2) McDonald's Malaysia actively participates in charity and welfare activities for the Malaysian citizens.

These facts are indeed true, however, they do not reflect on McDonald's Malaysia status as a franchisee to McD Corp USA. Next, although McD's Malaysia involvement towards charitable acts for Malaysian citizens are indeed praiseworthy, it could never recompense for the sufferings endured by the Palestinians due to the inhumane occupation by the "state" of Israel.

I used to be one of McD loyal customers, untill I learned about its connection to the Palestine issue.
The links below lead to some articles that gives evidence on this matter.

I believe any comments from McDonald's Malaysia on this matter will constitute as a very positive move, as it will clear up confusion among the many of Malaysian citizens who indeed, care about the suffering of others more than their taste buds satisfaction.

Thank you.

Your summer, and my autumn.

if your sun fades away,
let my dark clouds float and sway.

if your flowers start to wither,
let my leaves fall and shiver.

well if your summer found its end,
then just let my autumn start it all again

what are we?

beyond redemption?

Forgotten

In the middle of my 2nd year examination period,

I have found that,

more often than not,

I forgot,

the irony of this life.

Kalau gagal exam, boleh je nak repeat kan.

But,

If we fail this test of life,

There will be no second chance.

No second chance at all.

Forgotten will I be,

the same way as I have forgotten.

If only thou couldst see when the guilty ones will bend low their heads before their Lord, (saying:) "Our Lord! We have seen and we have heard: Now then send us back (to the world): we will work righteousness: for we do indeed (now) believe."

If We had so willed, We could certainly have brought every soul its true guidance: but the Word from Me will come true, "I will fill Hell with Jinns and men all together."

"Taste ye then - for ye forgot the Meeting of this Day of yours, and We too will forget you - taste ye the Penalty of Eternity for your (evil) deeds!"

Only those believe in Our Signs, who, when they are recited to them, fall down in adoration, and celebrate the praises of their Lord, nor are they (ever) puffed up with pride

Their limbs do forsake their beds of sleep, the while they call on their Lord, in Fear and Hope: and they spend (in charity) out of the sustenance which We have bestowed on them.

Now no person knows what delights of the eye are kept hidden (in reserve) for them - as a reward for their (good) deeds.

Is then the man who believes no better than the man who is rebellious and wicked? Not equal are they.

[As-sajdah ,32 : 12-18

Today, Tomorrow, and Forever

Thank you for today.

Thank you for tomorrow.

and Thank you, forever.

How could I smell the fragrance of rose,

If I haven't had the the strength to bear its thorns.

“Dan aku tidak (menyatakan) diriku bebas (dari kesalahan), karena sesungguhnya nafsu itu selalu mendorong kepada kejahatan, kecuali (nafsu) yang diberi rahmat oleh Tuhanku. Sesungguhnya Tuhanku Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang.”

( Yusuf 53 )

"And those who pray, "Our Lord! Grant unto us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and give us (the grace) to lead the righteous."

(Furqan 74)

Thanks for everything.

Today, Tomorrow, and Forever

InsyaAllah.

=)

The next stop

What if you get off at the next stop.

Would you just wave as I’m drifting off.

وَالَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا

Al Quran, Al-Furqan 25:74

And those who pray, "Our Lord! Grant unto us spouses and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and give us (the grace) to lead the righteous."
