Jizia's ponderings

It Has Been Awhile..

2011-04-03T01:43:00.000-07:00

It has been awhile..that I have not written anything lately...too wrapped up with the business of life, that I have neglected this area in my life...on reflections, pondering, contemplations and of writing it down...

The world has observed recurring chaos in humanity and nature (more so recently in 2011)......as if God is showing wrath over all of mankind. It is time to switch on the 'pause' button and reflect..lest it will be too late for all of us.

Civilisations have come and go....many are buried in history..or under tons of earth or submerged under tons of water. None have survived to tell their tale......only leaving clues..and Biblical/Quranic tales related in forgotten folds of the testament or Kitab...only accessible to or fully aware of by a handful.

History should be learnt and taken heed of. No matter how far is the advancement of science and technology...no matter to what extent has man's ingenuity taken him...if the quality of humanity and stewardship has reached abysmally low...then we surely need to be worried of the omens and impending 'Apocalypse'....

Saturation point

2009-04-05T23:51:00.000-07:00

I feel that people should start moving out of cties and urban areas...
those that have a piece of land somewhere...
or have kampungs to go back to..
they could start a real industry from these places...

Cottage industruies...craft industries...tourism..ecotourism...etc
towns, cities and metroploitans are over saturated with influx from all over..
from imiggrants and illegals immigrants,......from people of all walks of life..till
it has become almost claustophobic..
with multitudinous problems....housing problems, social problems...appalling living conditions..

there should be a reversal of some sorts...and innovative thinking...
money is not everything....its how we use it and not abuse it..or becoming its slave...
.... or becoming victims of circumstances..

2009-04-03T02:53:00.000-07:00

Each nation should be more self reliant...
and not depend too much on FDI...
or the FTAs
or there should be a reform in the IMF system....so that they do not victimized other nations relying on them...
lest the saviors turning to be 'blood sucking' vampires instead...

If citizens of the world can take heed...
on the 3 Rs...and on environmental issues...
and be able to withstand hardtimes...
as they did before...
those that have gone through 'Depression' times before...
or the post war days...
should know the word 'survival'...
and keep the 'spirit strong'...

2009-04-03T02:47:00.000-07:00

The world is really in a mess...
with globalisation...
western hegemonization...
and homogenization.....

with Americanization.....
and Mcdonaldnization...and Coca Cola nation....
the indoctrination of...
consummerism and capitalism with
democratization...

is seeing many nations at stake...
the Giant has fallen...
and with it..seeing..
the victimization of many...
bringing with it..
worldwide indignation..
and exclamation!!!

2009-03-16T21:46:00.000-07:00

as time gallops at a speed
that i must take heed..
i must read..
this book
and resume
this
Never Say I Assume..

some days i stop to ponder

2009-03-16T21:37:00.000-07:00

some days i stop to ponder..
on the state of chaos...
yet in this chaotic state..
the world is in order

for at times..it is and have been..
in this chaotic equilibrium...
at the minute atomic level...
where atoms are on collision courses

and so it is in this turmoil that we are experiencing at this moment in time...
and then.... we start questioning our selves and our being...
of a force greater than us...
ephinany hits some of us...
to the few enlightened ones...
in our temporal stage

life is many tests...

2008-09-10T21:00:00.000-07:00

Sigh....

Life is not 'a' test...for me it has been 'many tests'...

sigh...sigh....

Hari Raya Blues

2007-10-11T18:47:00.000-07:00

i am wailing away....my sirens like that of a police car...but wailing softly. It will be Hari Raya Puasa soon...tomorrow, but i will not be going back see my mum and family...

lots of work that i gotta do...and further more, the public transport at this time of the year is horrific...i will go back a bit later as the traffic will be less congested then...

Thank god mum seemed to understand...when i explained to her about my late homecoming on the phone the other day..anyway, i was the one who always seemed to bit at odds with her...but tonight, my nostalgia channel will be on..full blast

Melancholy will hit me then...and being alone will not help me much...
To all of you...Selamat Hari Raya..Maaf zahir batin....(Sob, sob..sob...waaaaaah)

Nearly the end of Ramadhan

2007-10-08T22:15:00.000-07:00

It is nearly the end of Ramadhan....

Mysterious things happen in Ramadhan, like today and yesterday. As I was walking along the road yesterday, I found RM26..and I gave the cash to the guards for them to find the owner..

And as I was walking along the same road today, I found RM5...and I gave that to the guards too...GOD must be testing me....to see if I will pocket the money..

In this world, many people are suffering...and with the amount of money I found these two days could have bought for some unlucky soul in some parts of the world...some food and comfort..

GOD works in mysterious ways...I wonder what GOD is trying to say to me...and I have been tested..a lot these days..Ah well.....
