A Wise Camel

A mother and a baby camel were lazing around, and suddenly the baby camel asked....

Baby: Mother, mother, may I ask you some questions?
Mother: Sure! Why son, is there something bothering you?
Baby: Why do camels have humps?
Mother: Well son, we are desert animals, we need the humps to store water and we are known to survive without water.
Baby: Okay, then why are our legs long and our feet rounded?
Mother: Son, obviously they are meant for walking in the desert, You know with these legs I can move around the desert better than anyone does! Said the mother proudly.

Baby: Okay, then why are our eyelashes long? Sometimes it bothers my sight.

Mother: My son, those long thick eyelashes are your protective cover. They help to protect your eyes from the desert sand and wind. Said mother camel with eyes rimming with pride....

Baby: I see. So the hump is to store water when we are in the desert, the legs are for walking through the desert and these eyelashes protect my eyes from the desert...
Then what the hell are we doing here in the Zzzoooooo!

MORAL OF THE STORY IS:
"Skills, knowledge, abilities and experiences are only useful if you are at the right place"

Butterfly Lesson

One day, a small opening appeared on a cocoon; a man sat and watched for the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through the little hole. Then it seems stop making progress.
It appeared as it had gotten as far as it could and it could not go any further. So, the man decided to help the butterfly, he took a pair of scissors and opened the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily.

But it had a withered body it was tiny and shriveled wings. The man continued to watch because he expected that at any moment the wings could open, enlarge and expand to be able to support the butterfly’s body and become firm. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of the its life crawling around with a withered body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.

What the man, in his kindness and goodwill did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening, were God’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings, so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.

Sometime struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through our life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as we could have been. Never been able to fly

I asked for strength….
And God gave difficulties to make me strong

I asked for wisdom….
And God gave me problems to solve

I asked for prosperity….
And God gave me brain and brawn to work

I asked for courage….
And God gave me obstacles to overcome

I asked for love….
And God gave me troubled people to help

I asked for favors….
And God gave me opportunities

“I received nothing I wanted, but I received everything I needed”

Live life without fear, confront all obstacles and evince that you can overcome them.

Learning from mistakes

In our exam-oriented and result-focused school environment, it is common to find school-age children who have fear of failure and school anxiety. Our child became fear to their mistakes and poor grades will make them less acceptable as a person.

To help our child overcome their school anxiety and learn to cope with less-than-perfect results, the whole family must co-operate and show support for one another when mistakes and failures occur. This means parents must let children know what they really want from them. Children take their cues from adults. They learn their self-worth from how they are perceived by the people around them. School-age children like to be praised for what they have done.

The more they are praised for their high grades, the more they will focus their attention on getting them. They fear that they will no longer be loved if they do not do well in their exams. They become very upset when they are criticised.
Parents should encourage children to enjoy their learning experience rather than focus on results. Use more encouraging words to help your child realise that her effort and coping skills outweigh the grades they gets, in importance.

When your child is studying for a test, help them to differentiate what is important and what is not. Talk to them about how their learning helps them to be an independent person. They develops competency when they works at their tasks.
It is not easy for parents to show support for their children when they make mistakes.

We want our children to strive for excellence, yet we have to teach them how to accept mistakes and failures. The problem will persist if we continue to regard getting perfect scores in examinations as success. We have to help our children understand that they can also feel good about themselves when they make mistakes and learn from them. It is more important that they work at their personal best, rather than get perfect results.

To help children understand that mistakes can help them learn, we can try getting them to see that success comes from the many mistakes they make. Cite examples of the great men and women who failed many times before they succeeded.

Children can turn their mistakes into tools for learning rather than causes of failure.

Their self-worth should be based on their perseverance to work at their mistakes and not on the results. Parents must talk about their own failures and mistakes so that children can learn to accept their own mistakes and failures. Tell your children stories about the time you failed in your exams but were acknowledged for your hard work instead of being ridiculed for your poor results. You can also tell them how you managed your mistakes or the difficulties you had when you were confronted with a challenging task. Your experience will help your child learn ways to cope with their school tasks.

Hold family discussions on topics other than school work and encourage everyone in the family to share their feelings about what they enjoy doing. Acknowledge your child’s other abilities rather than just her academic achievements.

Children who have other interests outside school tend to develop more confidence and a positive attitude towards challenges. When your child is able to separate themselves from their school performance and see the person they really is, they will become less anxious when anticipating tests and competitions.

Together we will always be the best.

A Last Request or Two

Just an old joke for refresh and release tension on week end.


A man and woman are crossing the Sahara on a camel. On the third day of traveling, the camel suddenly drops dead. Having surveyed the situation, things a looking bleak: “I’m not sure we can survive more than a day or two,” says the woman.

“Agreed”, says the man, “seeing as we’re about to breathe out last, would you do something for me?”

“Anything,” replies the woman.

“I’ve never seen a woman’s breast.” Reveals the man “might I see yours?”
Under circumstances, she sees no problem, lifts her dress and unveils her pert breasts.

“Oh my….” Says the man, “would you mind if I touched them?” She consents and the old ugly guy has a good fondle.

“Would you do something for me?” asks the woman.

“Of course,” smiles the bloke, still fondling away.

“Would you show me your penis – I have never had the pleasure.” Without a worry , the guy drops his pants.

“Wow, may I touch it?” He consents and is displaying huge excitement within a seconds.

“You know”, says the man, “If I insert my penis in a right place, it can give life….”

Well that’s wonderful.” Smiles the woman with glee, “stick it in the camel and let’s get the hell out of here!”

Ahhhhh

Ahhh…dehhh..lapa ga nyawa tu tak ngumba ka diri lembau ka makai. Lauk nyu nyamai-nyamai disumai ka bala tukang masak. Maya ka bakatu, ka amat ngenang maya ka pulai time off. Belauk ka sida paku ikan, daun jabang, kemiding. Anang agi enti maya ka benasib manah, bulih babi kampung, ikan sungai, akai..naka penyamai enti dipansuh tauka dikasam. Hish..nyu ngasuh liur neritik ngapa ga nyebut utai ka bakanya…ahh..enda alah ga nyu ngemuni kadiri.



Tang sigi amat…ka dini dunya ditujah, enda meh asai menua diri empu. Engkanya bakanya ga utai pemakai. Ka iya ngenyamai ni utai empa orang bukai, enda meh ulih ngalah pemakai asal diri empu. Nyamai, engka sigi nyamai tang enda ulih ngasuh nyawa kitai berentak.



Bejako pasal ikan sungai, nyu ngingat ka aku pengidup maya agi mit kelia, maya ka agi diau ba rumah panjai. Asal rajin nurun ke ai, sigi makai ikan. Aku endang siko ari orang ka sigi minat bemain sebelah ai, ngenan pukat, bubu, nyala serta nginti endang sigi pengawa aku. Sigi amat rindu laban ikan sigi agi tubah mayuh. Ikan ka diulih selalu iya ditusuk ngena kayu lalu ditunu ba atas api…akaiii..naka penyamai…asal bisi garam enggau cabik…Akaii..nyu ngasuh ati lelengau ka pulai……

Tang diatu, dunya nyu udah bebali, enti enda bebendar sigi tusah ka bulih ikan sungai. Ikan nyu majak kurang ketegal mensia nyu ngulih ka ikan ukai semina kelauk tang mega ka jual. Pengawa ka bejual tu ngujung ka mensia nyu enda ngira nama chara kena ngulih ka ikan, baka ngeracun, ngaran enggau macam-macam agi, asal aja bulih lalu nadai ngira dudi ari ila ikan tau punas.

More squatters in rural areas now

If we don’t solve this problem, it can become a social time bomb that could explode in our face: Masing

KUCHING: Angry words were exchanged when bulldozers moved in to demolish Rumah Nyawin in Bintulu in Jan but the fact remains that the longhouse was squatting on State land … and it is not the only one.

Although squatters are often considered an urban problem, the reality is that there are also squatters in rural areas who not only put up shacks close to each other but also whole longhouses.

Land Development Minister Dato Sri Dr James Masing believes the problem with rural squatters must be tackled effectively because it could become a “social time bomb” as well as fodder for the opposition.

He explained that some longhouses moved from their original location because of the changing demographic pattern, particularly infrastructure development.
These “resettled” longhouses were usually not far from their occupants’ actual land, he said.

“In the old days, people followed the river system, so there was a riverine pattern to a settlement. It was very common and most logical because rivers provide access.
“But now roads provide even easier access, and so people move from the riverside to the roadside, and most of the roadside land is land that is new and often State land.
“Still people move there regardless because they want easy access. And because they settle illegally on land that does not belong to them, they are squatters and whoever own the land, have the right to kick them out,” he said in an interview by The Borneo Post.

Masing believed that as the government continued to develop the State and when more infrastructure were in place, the problem of rural squatting would become more glaring.

Already, he had been told, there were several longhouses in Bintulu that could be served with eviction notices.

He admitted that as much as he wanted to symphatise with the people of Rumah Nyawin, the case was handled fairly by the Land and Survey Department.
He said he could not symphatise with people in the wrong.

The department had issued a notice to Rumah Nyawin’s headman in April, 2002, informing him that they were unlawfully occupying government land.
The land had been alienated to the Malaysian Agriculture Research and Development Institute (Mardi) in 1993, and therefore, the occupants of Rumah Nyawin must vacate it.

Masing pointed out that he was very concerned about the problem of rural squatters and could not ignore it because he is president of Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) which has 14 elected representatives in rural areas.

He emphasised: “I am very concerned because it involves rural areas and I am sure the government is equally concerned about how to solve this problem with rural squatters because otherwise, it can fall easily to the propaganda of the opposition that we do not care for the rural people.

“We care for the people and we have to have a programme to solve the problem of rural squatters. If we don’t solve it, it can be a social time bomb that could explode in our face.”

Asked what the government could do tackle the problem, Masing said there should be a programme or formula to regularise longhouses on state land which would also require the people to pay land premium.

“The government could alienate an area for them and require them to pay the necessary premium like any other people. What are the correct premium, let the government decide but don’t just leave them alone.

“I think people will pay the premium for the land that they use and I don’t think that will be a problem. The government also earns money from it because it is a leasehold and how many years that will be is also up to the government,” Masing said.

“I say let us tackle this problem of rural squatters. There is no use hiding from it. Squatting in urban areas is not a problem now because of the sound policy of the Barisan Nasional government but there are no programmes for the rural squatters yet.”
Asked why rural squatters only became an issue now, he replied: “The government is now looking seriously at people who are squatting and the government has to take action. There is no choice, we cannot turn a blind eye to what is illegal.

“So now when the government takes action, people say the government is cruel. No, the government is not cruel. You are wrong in the first place but it does not stop us from regularising what was wrong and finding how best to solve it.”

State Land and Survey Department director Sudarsono Osman was not available for comment yesterday.

Meanwhile, it is learnt that PRS is conducting a study on rural squatters to come up with recommendations for the government.
