The Concepts

     According to dictionary, the word dowry means the money, goods or estate that a wife brings to husband at marriage.  In Bible old testments, there are similar system mentioned.  But it's just opposite way.  If a man wants to marry a woman, he must pay a sum or gift to the woman's parents.  It's very clearly written there; describing Issac's and Rebekah's marriage ( Genesis 24 ).  But in today's custom, girls parents must pay it to groom as bride's price.  When it was changed?  Who changed it?  No clear evidence available in history.  The old concept mentioned in religious book was good at that time, the groom pay the bride's price and bought over and regain his rights on his wife.  But now-a-days, bride's parents should pay the price to groom and loose the rights on her too and they are more worried about their daughters.  In another word, groom gets money, property or whatever and get full rights on his ...

     The Perhentian Islands are two islands named Pulau Perhentian Kecil (Small Perhentian Island) and Pulau Perhentian Besar (Large Perhentian Island). The Malay name Perhentian is translated as “place to stop”.  The islands remain relatively untouched and the only permanent inhabitants live in a small fishing village on Perhentian Kecil. Apart from footpaths that cut through the jungle, there are no roads on the islands. The only way to get around is by walking through the jungle or taking a sea taxi. Perhaps it is the stretches of white beach or the crystal clear water and the superior scuba diving. Perhaps it is the untouched forests or the relaxed atmosphere and unspoiled charm.        We, around 19 men, started our journey from Kuala Lumpur (KL) on July 15th night.  It's our first trip to Kuala Terenganu side ( I guess ) and we are not sure how to reach the places; but we know what are the prime st...

     I had an invitation for a wedding dinner yesterday.  I was 50-50 mood to participate that.  Suddenly I had to drive somebody for a funeral of a lady; so I decided not to go for the dinner.  It was a Christian funeral well organized like English style.  Most in the black suit / dresses and the coffin was handling by funeral organizers.  Not only coffin, the A-Z program was handling by them.  Learned from somebody that the lady's son is in New Zealand and haven't met his mother for last 5 years.  Finally when he arrived, his mother's flight already took off.  The person was asking me, is this must to wear black dress on a funeral day?  I said, people in this country follows the western culture for everything.  You can wear any descent dress, but not a bright one to attract many as the occasion is not for the joyful.      I had one invitation for a joy of union and an unplanned function of the gr...

Cyberjaya, a place where "Live, Study & Work"; this is what TV Commercial says.  14years after its operational starts, how about its administration?  I would say its very very poor.  To make money, it is better for those who manage, but those who use, no benefits.  I never thought to write about it; but when I experienced, I prefer to scribble something. Its almost 6 months, I started to work in Cyberjaya.  As everybody, I also thought about the transportation problem.  I was searching for the information about DTS (Dedicated Transport System) service by RapidKL ( those time, it managed by RapidKL); no useful information found.  Neither in RapidKL site nor in Cyberjaya site found it where to get information, how to book the bus etc.  Though the area is technically advanced, these basic information passed by old era style; from mouth to mouth.  1 month drove to work in shared basis and costs around RM 300.  Only one advantage was fre...

     There will be one or more persons in your life, whom you like to sit with for a few moments, without telling anything.  Their presence, by virtual or physical, make you so much happier and give you comfort in all the sense.  But there will be few people, you love to be with them, but when they near you really think, they shouldn't be nearby.  Why does we (or I?) feel like that?  Have you ever felt like these?  The question rolling in my mind for years.  But no clear answer.  A fabricated words will not have any perfection.  When it falls from the heart, there is perfection.       There are two reasons, I feel.  It's love or to be loved and possess.  Possessiveness and love are different.  Possessiveness can tell as an extremity of love.  Isn't really love? Answer can be yes or no.  When you love somebody with open heart you love to be with them and the presence will change...

Happy New Year to all. This is just cut and paste from a news paper.  Where are we heading to?  Really need to think, especially when we entered into a new decade. A USEFUL message to greet the New Year today in Singapore could have read something like this: “Caution! Visitors to this island are advised to be careful of a mysterious syndrome that drives victims to shed off all their clothes in public.” As promiscuity rises, one phenomenon has almost everyone scratching his head. Amidst reports of a teenage girl selling her soiled underwear online and a young trainee teacher having sex with a 12 and a 15-year-old girl, interest centred on public nudity, including the following cases: - * A man in his 20s went buck naked into a fast-food outlet to buy coffee (his custom was refused); * A middle-aged man found sitting nude on a suburban pavement; and * A middle-aged woman took off all her clothes and boarded a public bus, rejecting a jacket to cover up. The driver ordered...
