First of all, please accept my apology for not updating yesterday. I actually accidentally slept till morning 🙂

Today I want to try something new (at least new to this blog), I’m sure most of you are familiar with the niche of this blog. It is where we share our ideas or experience with the ultimate goal of letting people learn from it.

It can be from as simple as why we have two ears and one mouth. They are maybe meant to show that listening is twice more important than speaking.

Or more complex tips like how to be RM10000 richer by the end of the year. Or lesson that can be learnt from children etc. I think you understand what I meant.

With that remark, I would like to invite you to share your very own stories and ideas here. It can be about anything. It can be short or long (totally up to you). Please send them to me through my email and I will published it here for the rest of us to benefit.

Now why should you publish it here?

• The friends reading here are generally very interested in sharing ideas and learning from them. So your entries will be highly valued and received.

• Obviously all credit will be given to the author, and I will personally put up permanent link to your blog within the post. FYI, link within a post is very valuable in term of SEO (which simply means people using search engine will more likely to find your blog)

• This is actually what this blog is all about. Sharing ideas and experience for the benefit of us all. Again.. the blog is not mine, I am just the person with the password. It is ours 🙂

What are the rules?

• Please do not copy from other resources. If you must, do include the source.

• I will reserve the right to correct / modify the entry, however I will consult the author first before publishing it. If for example the author ask for the entry to be removed, it will be removed.

• I will also reserve the right whether to accept or not an entry. This will be totally according to my discretion. (I will be fair.. no worry 🙂 )

• Both English and Malay language can be used. Maybe yours can be the first Malay entry here. 🙂

• The selected entry will be published once a week, depending on the participation.

So come on guys… I’m sure there’s something about your life and experience that we can all learn from. Short or long, please email them to me ya….

Summary – Just a yesterday storyI woke up yesterday, very eager to work… (not exactly). However it is weird that I had those “taik mata” at my eye (I wonder what it’s called in english..eye shit? hehe). Before any assumption arise, I do wash my face and bath every morning (I almost can hear the assumption building up).

I looked in the mirror. hm my left eye is reddish. (I have a sepet eye.. chinese almost always speak chinese with me) I thought maybe the eye got exposed to the dust while riding my motorcycle to work (Estate is like that.. when it’s dry, we will have a layer of dust on our face – bedak asli). Hopefully the reddish color will be gone soon.

Working as usual, until lunch time, I go back home. (the mill and my house is just 1 km apart, so I can actually go home anytime of the day 🙂 ) the color is still there. (Ait!!!) I tried sleeping during the 1 hour (overslept abit :p). There’s no change in the color. (I think I “sakit mata”) Went to see the manager, asking permission to go to clinic. (he doesn’t even want to look at my face, maybe afraid that the disease spread to him)

Went to see the doctor.. (Guess what, the doctor also try to avoid any eye contact with me. Is it really that contagious?) and he gave me a 3 days MC (Yahooooo!). Went back to the mill and surrendered the MC to the manager (with the expression of pain and suffering but yahooing inside)

So with that, it is confirmed that I am down with “sakit mata” (I still don’t know the english word for it. Eye ache?) Please pray for my recovery and hopefully the mrs will be fine.

Lesson learnt –

• One tips from old people (Petua) to avoid “sakit mata” is to blink when you take bath. I used to do that.. and very rarely be sick. Now that I wear contact lense, it’s advisable not to do so, so I didn’t. Maybe you can try.. seriously it work.

• People with “sakit mata” has the ultimate power to make even the manager afraid to look you in the eyes hahah

• I need to brush up on my English vocabulary. Very poor

• The words in the bracket is like what my mind is thinking at the moment I wrote certain sentence. what a busy mind we have, don’t you think so?

Summary – Why there are no discussion on issues here at LessonInLife

“So many things out there, and here you are blogging about emotion, self discovery etc? Do you even know the “Negarakuku” case, the bus accidents or Muslim’s fate around the world? Are you just that insensitive?”

Alhamdulillah no one ever ask me this question. They have been raised by my concious though. As you might be aware, the articles written so far, had never be about any specific issues in Malaysia, well maybe some:)

Why didn’t I blog about politics? or the misunderstanding of Islam throughout the world? or major issues around the globe? Actually I am… But I prefer to be very general about it, What I did is actually addressing to the core issue which is our mind. We need to change there for everything else to change. I’ve highlighted in my previous post on how to choose effectively. And maybe how to open up our mind for more possibilities. Once we know this, choosing “which political party is better” would never be an issue. This in my opinion is more important than all those specific topic. Once our mindset had changed, we no longer accept everything people throw at us, we will have a look and choose whether to accept it or not.

So many bloggers out there excellently took the role to discuss those issues. I think their discussion and ideas should be more than enough for our reading pleasure. Kudos to them. In Islam, there is a phrase known as “Fardhu Kifayah”. It is a task that someone will have to do, if not the whole community will share the responsibility. For examples, doctors. Doctors are important right? But should we all strive to become doctors? We can’t, There are other task that is equally important. So this is my second reason… I am actually blogging to highlight some OTHER view on the matter. Not that I say that those issues were any less important.

However I understand that despite our virtual life as a blogger, we live in a real world, where issues should not be taken for granted. Believe me when I say that when there is an issues I have a new view to share, I will definitely share it here.

Conclusion – this post is a tribute to the many unsung heroes out there. Bloggers who each is doing their part. Any entries what ever topics is never a waste. As long as they’re out there… they’re all a part of us. So show respect to any blog. Show respect to all bloggers… which is basically YOU who is reading this 🙂 Thank you!
