Stop while you can

Everyone wants to survive in this world, but it is the way of survive that is different. True? I am aware that surely you all have been reading news about things stolen or robbery. What is playing in their mind actually?

In this world of materialism, everyone needs money. Though with money, you can't do everything, but without money, you can't do anything. Money has become a very important thing in our life. I bet you all should know the rule of nature very well. If you want something, then you have to let go something. In the other world, you will have to sacrifice in order to earn something. To earn money, there is plenty of ways to do it. Some people goes to work. As a clerk, manager, directors, actors, etc. Some, they work, but their occupation is kinda special, that is thief or robbers.

Some of you may though that thieves or robbers are not educated. But tell you what, you are wrong. They are educated. And yet they have a different kind of profession. Let say steal a car. It wasn't easy to steal a car nowadays, thanks to the advanced technology of the car security system. Yet, they still can ignite the car engine and drive the car without disarming the alarm. So, an idiot won't be able to do this; obviously he is a well trained person. Besides of stealing cars, hacking wasn't easy at all. You need speed and brain to hack somebody. Are you expect a dummy to hack you? Definitely not.

All the profession can earn money. But the different is, if you have a proper work, the money that you earned is your hard earned money. If you get the money by selling things that you stolen, then the money doesn't belongs to you at all. It belongs to the owner of the things, isn't? Stop stealing or robbery and together make this world a better world. Steal or rob is a fast way to earn money, but it is a sin, a guilt that will be carved on your face, body and soul for the rest of your life. Stop it before it is too late.

The irrational businessman

As usual, I drive to school. And that morning, I parked my car at the first lot, which is just right beside my school. And I was wondering what will that brainless fellow said during afternoon. Exactly as what I've predicted in the morning, when I was there to take my car, he told me that I can't park my car at there. What the hell! He added that he had told the guard of the school not to let anybody to park their vehicle at there because he is going to sell foods there. Be more rational. Then I replied him that this a public place. And he started to act more vigorously (kinda out of his mind). More irrational words are coming out from his mouth. I was wondering if I ever know a spell I will curse him to death! One word that was carved in my memory so clearly is that he tried to remind me that I was just a student, and he ask me to be careful. I kept quiet, as knowing that this M businessman isn't a gentleman and probably he will conduct many dirty acts in future, so I have to step back forcibly, for the sake of both parties, and, he won. He won in terms of the place, but he lose a customer. And he had forgotten how important a customer is. It is ok. He looks to be at the age of around 30-40, and pity him still have to use a car as a mobile stall to sell some junk foods. Pity him. But somehow, I think that he deserved it. And somehow, it is a rare chance to see a modern barbarian doing business. The most miracle is that the barbarian drives car! Unbelievable.

I was very angry. Indeed I was, at first. But later I tell myself that I should not get angry, because finally I had get a chance to know a barbarian. It is not worth for me to kill my cells for this human of low class category. I think I have to inform the scientists about the emergence of barbarian in this 21st century, and we should be proud that he is in SP. Looks like it has not extinct yet either. I have a lot of point to argue actually. First, the place does not belongs to the school, it is belongs to the Majlis Perbandaran Sungai Petani, so it is pointless even he told the guard to fence up that area. Secondly, because it is a public area, nobody has the rights to stop somebody to park the car there, unless the City Council ordered so. Third, even I carry this argument to the court, I will still win, since as I said previously, that is a public place, and I strongly believe that it is on the first come first serve basis, no special rights even though he is a Malay. Worst come worst, both of us will be summoned or nobody is allowed to park the car at there, fair for all. Third, if he wants the place, come early to get the place. Do you know what is the time when I reached that spot and get my car well parked? 6.40am! And what time did you arrived huh?! Wake up you low class yet irrational human! I was wondering if he learned that afternoon came first before morning.

A businessman should not act like this...

Over materialistic

Have my eyes swept through the calendar, I realized how time flies. It has been six years I joined SJ, and lots had happened during these years. In my point of view, if you want to join a voluntary service body like SJ, you ought to have the passion, otherwise you are not a true SJ member to me, even though you are wearing the uniform. There was a question which has stayed in my heart for a long time already. What was the main purpose they choose to join SJ? What was the reason that tell his mind to choose SJ? I have no idea.

They chose to join SJ when they have their first step into the school, preparing to start their secondary school life. So, they are still new, so I won't blame them. But for members who are already a Form 2 and above, where are you whenever there is an activity? Recently our area is going to organize a blood donation activity, and definitely we need helpers, so I asked them to get 10 members ready for the event. Then the response is outrage, only 1 person. Later, an "old witch" used her greatest attraction to lure them, and finally the other 9 vacancies has been filled up. But hold on, the greatest attraction that I mean here wasn't that kind of attraction, it is in fact, something that is very useful for them when they leave the school. AJK pose in SJ SMKI. I was so disappointed when I heard about it. For heaven's sake!!!!!! This is not the true spirit of being a first aider, not a true SJ member! "For the service of mankind" But did they do it? It is a shame!!!!

What was in your mind when you decide to join this uniform body huh?!?! The uniform body that you are joining now is a voluntary uniform body, and do you call this kind of spirit as a spirit of volunteer? Where is the spirit?? And the funny thing is, you are still able to put the uniform on your body. I was wondering how thick your face is. Please, don't be a parasite. This has showed me how severe is when a person became over materialistic. Materialistic is good, but they are over-materialistic. When they become over-materialistic, it is no longer good. We need materialism to set a target for our life, and then passion is needed to drive our body and soul to move toward the target. In this case, they have the target and they did move their body and soul toward their goal, but the true spirit as a SJ member is lost. How pathetic is that...

Maybe some of you may think that perhaps they are new to SJ so they didn't know much about SJ, but for your information, they are already Form 4. In my opinion, you joined SJ, you love SJ, and the true spirit of SJ will be showed. However, the truth is, these kind of people can't be eliminated. The nature is balance. Every kind of people is needed to balance the nature. Isn't? (Sigh~)
