mencari bahagia

Suatu ketika, terdapat seorang pemuda di tepian telaga. Ia tampak termenung. Tatapan matanya kosong, menatap hamparan air di depannya. Seluruh penjuru mata angin telah di lewatinya, namun tak ada satupun titik yang membuatnya puas. Kekosongan makin senyap, sampai ada suara yang menyapanya. Ada orang lain disana.

"Sedang apa kau disini anak muda?" tanya seseorang. Rupanya ada seorang kakek tua. "Apa yang kau risaukan..?" Anak muda itu menoleh ke samping, "Aku lelah Pak Tua. Telah berkilo-kilo jarak yang kutempuh untuk mencari kebahagiaan, namun tak juga kutemukan rasa itu dalam diriku. Aku telah berlari melewati gunung dan lembah, tapi tak ada tanda kebahagiaan yang hadir dalam diriku. Kemana kah aku harus mencarinya? Bilakah kutemukan rasa itu?"

Kakek Tua duduk semakin dekat, mendengarkan dengan penuh perhatian. Di pandangnya wajah lelah di depannya. Lalu, ia mulai bicara, "di depan sana, ada sebuah taman. Jika kamu ingin jawaban dari pertanyaanmu, tangkaplah seekor kupu-kupu buatku. Mereka berpandangan. "Ya...tangkaplah seekor kupu-kupu buatku dengan tanganmu" sang Kakek mengulang kalimatnya lagi.

Perlahan pemuda itu bangkit. Langkahnya menuju satu arah, taman. Tak berapa lama, dijumpainya taman itu. Taman yang yang semarak dengan pohon dan bunga-bunga yang bermekaran. Tak heran, banyak kupu-kupu yang berterbangan disana. Sang kakek, melihat dari kejauhan, memperhatikan tingkah yang diperbuat pemuda yang sedang gelisah itu.

Anak muda itu mulai bergerak. Dengan mengendap-endap, ditujunya sebuah sasaran. Perlahan. Namun, Hap! sasaran itu luput. Di kejarnya kupu-kupu itu ke arah lain. Ia tak mau kehilangan buruan. Namun lagi-lagi. Hap!. Ia gagal. Ia mulai berlari tak beraturan. Diterjangnya sana-sini. Ditabraknya rerumputan dan tanaman untuk mendapatkan kupu-kupu itu. Diterobosnya semak dan perdu di sana. Gerakannya semakin liar. Adegan itu terus berlangsung, namun belum ada satu kupu-kupu yang dapat ditangkap. Sang pemuda mulai kelelahan. Nafasnya memburu, dadanya bergerak naik-turun dengan cepat. Sampai akhirnya ada teriakan, "Hentikan dulu anak muda. Istirahatlah." Tampak sang Kakek yang berjalan perlahan. Tapi lihatlah, ada sekumpulan kupu-kupu yang berterbangan di sisi kanan-kiri kakek itu. Mereka terbang berkeliling, sesekali hinggap di tubuh tua itu.

"Begitukah caramu mengejar kebahagiaan? Berlari dan menerjang? Menabrak-nabrak tak tentu arah, menerobos tanpa peduli apa yang kau rusak?" Sang Kakek menatap pemuda itu. "Nak, mencari kebahagiaan itu seperti menangkap kupu-kupu. Semakin kau terjang, semakin ia akan menghindar. Semakin kau buru, semakin pula ia pergi dari dirimu."

"Namun, tangkaplah kupu-kupu itu dalam hatimu. Karena kebahagiaan itu bukan benda yang dapat kau genggam, atau sesuatu yang dapat kau simpan. Carilah kebahagiaan itu dalam hatimu. Telusuri rasa itu dalam kalbumu. Ia tak akan lari kemana-mana. Bahkan, tanpa kau sadari kebahagiaan itu sering datang sendiri."

Kakek Tua itu mengangkat tangannya. Hap, tiba-tiba, tampak seekor kupu-kupu yang hinggap di ujung jari. Terlihat kepak-kepak sayap kupu-kupu itu, memancarkan keindahan ciptaan Tuhan. Pesonanya begitu mengagumkan, kelopak sayap yang mengalun perlahan, layaknya kebahagiaan yang hadir dalam hati. Warnanya begitu indah, seindah kebahagiaan bagi mereka yang mampu menyelaminya. MoralMencari kebahagiaan adalah layaknya menangkap kupu-kupu. Sulit, bagi mereka yang terlalu bernafsu, namun mudah, bagi mereka yang tahu apa yang mereka cari. Kita mungkin dapat mencarinya dengan menerjang sana-sini, menabrak sana-sini, atau menerobos sana-sini untuk mendapatkannya. Kita dapat saja mengejarnya dengan berlari kencang, ke seluruh penjuru arah. Kita pun dapat meraihnya dengan bernafsu, seperti menangkap buruan yang dapat kita santap setelah mendapatkannya.

Namun kita belajar. Kita belajar bahwa kebahagiaan tak bisa di dapat dengan cara-cara seperti itu. Kita belajar bahwa bahagia bukanlah sesuatu yang dapat di genggam atau benda yang dapat disimpan. Bahagia adalah udara, dan kebahagiaan adalah aroma dari udara itu. Kita belajar bahwa bahagia itu memang ada dalam hati. Semakin kita mengejarnya, semakin pula kebahagiaan itu akan pergi dari kita. Semakin kita berusaha meraihnya, semakin pula kebahagiaan itu akan menjauh.

Cobalah temukan kebahagiaan itu dalam hatimu. Biarkanlah rasa itu menetap, dan abadi dalam hati kita. Temukanlah kebahagiaan itu dalam setiap langkah yang kita lakukan. Dalam bekerja, dalam belajar, dalam menjalani hidup kita. Dalam sedih, dalam gembira, dalam sunyi dan dalam riuh. Temukanlah bahagia itu, dengan perlahan, dalam tenang, dalam ketulusan hati kita.

Saya percaya, bahagia itu ada dimana-mana. Rasa itu ada di sekitar kita. Bahkan mungkin, bahagia itu "hinggap" di hati kita, namun kita tak pernah memperdulikannya. Mungkin juga, bahagia itu berterbangan di sekeliling kita, namun kita terlalu acuh untuk menikmatinya

Satu kisah yang indah dan bisa di jadikan renungan...pada jiwa yang sering lelah mencari sinar kebahagiaan...ternyata bahagia itu ada di setiap jiwa

kemana kau selama ini
bidadari yang ku nanti
kenapa baru sekarang
kita dipertemukan
sesal takkan ada arti
karna semua tlah terjadi
kini kau tlah menjalani, du du du du du
sisa hidup dengannya
mungkin salahku melewatkanmu
tak mencarimu sepenuh hati
maafkan aku
kesalahanku melewatkanmu
hingga kau kini dengan yang lain
maafkan aku
tak berulang kembali
kau tak akan terlewati
segenap hati ku cari, du du du du du
dimana kau berada
walau ku terlambat
kau tetap yang terhebat
melihatmu, mendengarmu
kau lah yang terhebat

You Could Be Happy - Snow Patrol

You could be happy and I won't know
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go

And all the things that I wished I had not said
Are played in loops 'till it's madness in my head

Is it too late to remind you how we were
But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur

Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should have stopped you from walking out the door

You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far

Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true

Do the things that you always wanted to
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do

More than anything I want to see you, girl
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world

Aku dan kerja

Sudah 3 bulan aku telah memulakan hidup baru dalam pekerjaan aku. Aku telah bertukar ke syarikat baru (seperti yg aku idam-idamkan) tp still under telco company. Pasni pastinya aku akan stay kat cni sampai la tua. Kalau nk tukar kerja pon rasanya akan amik masa yg agak lama lagi.

Environment kerja ni best la gak bab kerja ni bukanla yg aku impikan dari kecik tp sesuatu kepuasan dalam kerja aku ni. Like my brother said la ‘job satisfaction’. Aku mengenali kerja ni pon masa aku buat praktikal dulu tp time tu aku bt kat region. Skang ni aku kerja kat HQ. ada sikit beza la. HQ ni byk sikit kuasa veto in making a decision. Dari praktikal la timbul minat aku tu. Kerja kat cni tak sama dengan kerja company sebelum ni. Although it is a telcos tp actually different scope of business. Last time I’m doing for the fixed line. Now, move on to mobile. As before, bos aku adalah lelaki dan aku memang dikeliling oleh lelaki. Department aku Cuma 2 orang saja yg perempuan. Ok la kan bekerja dengan bos lelaki. Lelaki ni berfikir menggunakan akal instead of emosi. Gap between aku n my collogue adalah pengalaman. Kalau nk dibezakan dari umo tu tak la beza sgt. Smua tu pangkat abg aku la. Dulu aku selalu ber’encik’ dengan bos-bos tp skang ni sy awk saja atau I U saja. Memang agak janggal la at first tp I will get used to it.

Setakat ni pressure tu ada la skit aja bab byk benda yg aku tak tau tp most of the time aku enjoy jer. Member-member kerja tu pon smua nya byk membantu aku so xdakla pressure or stress out sgt. Cuma aku kat cni xdak org nk sembang dan huhahuha dan bergosip mcm kerja sebelum ni. Kengkdg buhsan gakla tp nk bt cmna kn aku ni masih tak berapa percaya lg sesapa kat office tu. Smua tu amik masa..

Whatever it is, aku berterima kasih kat mamabapakku. Tanpa diaorg sapa la aku ni.

Thanx mama bapak..

i can't smile without you

You know I Can't Smile Without You,
I Can't Smile Without You,
I can't laugh
and I can't sing,
I'm findin' it hard to do anything.
You see, I feel sad when you're sad,
I feel glad when you're glad,
If You only knew what I'm go ing through,
I just Can't Smile Without You.
You came along just like a song
and brightened my day,
Who'd've believe that you were part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away.
And now you know I Can't Smile WIthout You,
I Can't Smile Without You,
I can't laugh and I can't sing,
I'm finding it hard to do anything.
You see, I feel sad when you're sad,
I feel glad when you're glad,
If you only knew what I"m going through,
I just can't smile.
Now some people sa y happiness takes so very long to find.
Well I'm finding it hard leaving your love behind me.
And you see,
I Can't Smile Without You,
I Can't Smile Without You,
I can't laugh
and I can't sing,
I'm findin' it hard to do anything.
Y ou see, I feel sad when you're sad,
I feel glad when you're glad,
If You only knew what I'm going through,
I just Can't Smile Without You

kasih tak sampai: P.A.D.I

Indah..
Terasa indah..
Bila kita terbuai dalam alunan cinta..
Sedapat mungkin terciptakan rasa..
Keinginan saling memiliki

Namun bila,
Itu semua dapat terwujud
Dalam satu ikatan cinta
Tak semudah seperti yang pernah terbayang..
Menyatukan perasaan....

Tetaplah menjadi bintang dilangit
Agar cinta kita akan abadi
Biarlah sinarmu tetap menyinari alam ini,
Agar menjadi saksi cinta kita
Berdua...
Berdua..

Sudah..
Lambat sudah...
Kini semua harus berakhir
Mungkin inilah jalan yang terbaik
Dan kita mesti relakan kenyataan ini

Menjadi saksi kita berdua

good news or bad news??

"haah..sy dah btunang february lepas..insyaAllah bulan 8 ni kawen..awk mai tau kenduri sy nanti na...mesti!!"

to my gaban: I just pray for your happiness..

Diabetes

WHAT IS DIABETES?

Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or alternatively, when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar. Hyperglycaemia, or raised blood sugar, is a common effect of uncontrolled diabetes and over time leads to serious damage to many of the body's systems, especially the nerves and blood vessels.

• Type 1 diabetes (previously known as insulin-dependent or childhood-onset) is characterized by a lack of insulin production. Without daily administration of insulin, Type 1 diabetes is rapidly fatal.

• Symptoms include excessive excretion of urine (polyuria), thirst (polydipsia), constant hunger, weight loss, vision changes and fatigue. These symptoms may occur suddenly.

• Type 2 diabetes (formerly called non-insulin-dependent or adult-onset) results from the body’s ineffective use of insulin. Type 2 diabetes comprises 90% of people with diabetes around the world, and is largely the result of excess body weight and physical inactivity.

• Symptoms may be similar to those of Type 1 diabetes, but are often less marked. As a result, the disease may be diagnosed several years after onset, once complications have already arisen.

• Until recently, this type of diabetes was seen only in adults but it is now also occurring in obese children.
• Gestational diabetes is hyperglycaemia which is first recognized during pregnancy.

• Symptoms of gestational diabetes are similar to Type 2 diabetes. Gestational diabetes is most often diagnosed through prenatal screening, rather than reported symptoms.

Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) and Impaired Fasting Glycaemia (IFG) are intermediate conditions in the transition between normality and diabetes. People with IGT or IFG are at high risk of progressing to type 2 diabetes, although this is not inevitable.

DIABETES FACTS

• The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that more than 180 million people worldwide have diabetes. This number is likely to more than double by 2030.
• In 2005, an estimated 1.1 million people died from diabetes.1
• Almost 80% of diabetes deaths occur in low and middle-income countries.
• Almost half of diabetes deaths occur in people under the age of 70 years; 55% of diabetes deaths are in women.
• WHO projects that diabetes deaths will increase by more than 50% in the next 10 years without urgent action. Most notably, diabetes deaths are projected to increase by over 80% in upper-middle income countries between 2006 and 2015.


WHAT ARE COMMON CONSEQUENCES OF DIABETES?

Over time, diabetes can damage the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves.
• Diabetic retinopathy is an important cause of blindness, and occurs as a result of long-term accumulated damage to the small blood vessels in the retina. After 15 years of diabetes, approximately 2% of people become blind, and about 10% develop severe visual impairment.
• Diabetic neuropathy is damage to the nerves as a result of diabetes, and affects up to 50% of people with diabetes. Although many different problems can occur as a result of diabetic neuropathy, common symptoms are tingling, pain, numbness, or weakness in the feet and hands.
• Combined with reduced blood flow, neuropathy in the feet increases the chance of foot ulcers and eventual limb amputation.
• Diabetes is among the leading causes of kidney failure. 10-20% of people with diabetes die of kidney failure.
• Diabetes increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. 50% of people with diabetes die of cardiovascular disease (primarily heart disease and stroke).
• The overall risk of dying among people with diabetes is at least double the risk of their peers without diabetes.


WHAT IS THE ECONOMIC BURDEN OF DIABETES?

Diabetes and its complications impose significant economic consequences on individuals, families, health systems and countries.
WHO estimates that over the next 10 years (2006-2015), China will lose $ 558 billion in foregone national income due to heart disease, stroke and diabetes alone.

HOW CAN THE BURDEN OF DIABETES BE REDUCED?

Without urgent action, diabetes-related deaths will increase by more than 50% in the next 10 years.

To help prevent type 2 diabetes and its complications, people should:
• Achieve and maintain healthy body weight.
• Be physically active - at least 30 minutes of regular, moderate-intensity activity on most days. More activity is required for weight control.

Early diagnosis can be accomplished through relatively inexpensive blood testing.
Treatment of diabetes involves lowering blood glucose and the levels of other known risk factors that damage to blood vessels. Tobacco cessation is also important to avoid complications.

Interventions that are both cost saving and feasible in developing countries include:
• Moderate blood glucose control. People with type 1 diabetes require insulin; people with type 2 diabetes can be treated with oral medication, but may also require insulin;
• Blood pressure control;
• Foot care.
Other cost saving interventions include:
• Screening for retinopathy (which causes blindness);
• Blood lipid control (to regulate cholesterol levels);
• Screening for early signs of diabetes-related kidney disease.

These measures should be supported by a healthy diet, regular physical activity, maintaining a normal body weight and avoiding tobacco use.


WHO ACTIVITIES TO PREVENT AND CONTROL DIABETES

WHO aims to stimulate and support the adoption of effective measures for the surveillance, prevention and control of diabetes and its complications, particularly in low and middle-income countries.
To this end, WHO:
• Provides scientific guidelines for diabetes prevention;
• Develops norms and standards for diabetes care;
• Builds awareness on the global epidemic of diabetes; including partnership with the International Diabetes Federation in the celebration of World Diabetes Day (14 November);
• Conducts surveillance of diabetes and its risk factors.

The WHO Global Strategy on Diet, Physical Activity and Health complements WHO's diabetes work by focusing on population-wide approaches to promote healthy diet and regular physical activity, thereby reducing the growing global problem of overweight and obesity. The Strategy calls upon all stakeholders to take action at the global, regional and local levels and aims to lead to a significant reduction in the prevalence of diabetes and other chronic diseases.

WHO's work on diabetes is integrated into the overall WHO chronic disease prevention and control framework of the Department of Chronic Diseases and Health Promotion. The strategic objectives of the Department are to raise awareness about the global epidemic of chronic diseases; create healthy environments, especially for poor and disadvantaged populations; slow and reverse trends in common chronic disease risk factors such as unhealthy diet and physical inactivity; and prevent premature deaths and avoidable disability due to major chronic diseases.
