Suatu Hari Nanti....

November....( Malaysia basah lagi...hujan laa~)
Celoteh ini dipost kerana..............aku betul2 sedang bosan....~

Akhirnya, tamat gak pengajian aku dalam semester 3 di UiTM Kampus Khazanah Alam ni...
Ada ape2 perubahan???
ADE.... tapi Sikit je...
perubahan yang kite boleh nmpak ni, lambat laun akan memberi impak yg besar gak kat kita semua...

Cuba bayangkan....
Suatu Hari Nanti.....................
ape yang korang agak, akan berlaku di sekeliling kite??
dari segi kemajuan, kemodenan, kecanggihan, kepelikan & lain2...

Hmmm....
Bagi aku,
Suatu Hari Nanti :

1) Semua pelajar sebawah peringkat tadika dah memiliki telefon bimbit dan alat elektronik tersebut sudah dibenarkan dibawa ke sekolah... mungkin guru2 dah malas nak jage budak2 ni, so...ape2 hal kol je parents...


2) Semua jenis makanan diproses dan dijadikan makanan segera mudah alih dan cepat dimasak... sebagai contoh, "Pek Nasi Lemak 5 dalam 1", percuma telur rebus....



3) Kat Malaysia je dah ade dalam 10 orang Superhero seperti Cicakman, Lalatman, OrangUtanMan, BioNik, KimiaNik dan lain2... 85% watak2 ni direka oleh KRU..huhuh...

4) Kapasiti pendrive paling minima ialah 3.0 Terrabyte dan berukuran sekecil paku tekan~

5) Malaysia menjadi tuan rumah utk sukan olimpik yang akan diadakan pada tahun 2020 dan ke atas sekaligus menjadi negara Asia Tenggara pertama menjadi tuan rumah utk Olimpik...

6) Pelancong dari Singapura akan makin bertambah kerana tak tahan dengan tempat mereka yang makin sesak serta kos hidup yang makin mahal... juga mereka datang ke Malaysia hanya kerana ingin menjamah gula-gula getah dan ingin menonton wayang dengan harga yang lebih murah... Oh, Kiasu~!


7) Pekerja2 kerajaan makin malas dan akan bertindak kasar terhadap remaja yang ingin berurusan dengan mereka, seperti di Klinik, JPJ, pejabat Pos dan lain2... kemudian, Kempen Budi Bahasa dianggap gagal...



8) Presiden USA berasa bangga dengan Malaysia kerana telah menjayakan gagasan 1Malaysia dimana dapat mengukuhkan perpaduan diantara semua kaum yang pelbagai di Malaysia ini... Thats why we call Malaysia : Truly Asia~!!



9) Syarikat besar seperti Petronas menyumbangkan satu bangunan setinggi menara Kuala Lumpur di setiap 14 bandar2 ibu negeri di Malaysia...

10) Negara masih lagi kekurangan tenaga Doktor kerana siswa-siswi sangat susah untuk memohon kos tersebut walaupun mendapat anugerah dekan setiap semester ketika matrikulasi ataupun ketika diploma...

11) Beribu2 anime Jepun telah masuk ke dalam industri hiburan tanah air membuatkan ramai kanak-kanak keliru dan beranggapan orang Jepun semua wujud dalam bentuk kartun...~


12) Israel sudah semakin tamak dan menginginkan tanah Mesir, Turki, Lebanon, dan juga South Africa... Disebabkan terlalu penat berperang, mereka membuka tabung tanah dan negara yang disenaraikan tersebut hanya memberi Israel sebotol kaca berisi tanah sebagai hadiah kerana sudah terlalu terdesak...

13) Penggunaan kertas diharamkan dan semua lapisan masyarakat diperkenalkan dengan nota elektronik 'touch screen' mudah alih dan kempen Sayangi Alam Sekitar dapat dijalankan dengan jayanya...

14) Setelah jambatan Pulau Pinang ke-2 telah siap, kerajaan mencadangkan untuk membina jambatan 'buka tutup' dari Mersing, Johor ke Kuching, Sarawak... dengan sebanyak 8 R&R...

15) Produk2 Buatan Malaysia boleh didapati di seluruh dunia setelah Malaysia menjadi salah satu negara maju atau negara dunia pertama... dan lagu2 dr artis Malaysia berkumandang di radio2 di Eropah, USA, Mexico, Russia dan lain2....

16) Korea Utara menyedari kesilapannya dan berdamai dengan Korea Selatan tetapi masih enggan bergabung sebagai satu negara... Beribu2 org dari seluruh dunia berpusu2 ingin melancong ke Korea Utara kerana dalam promosi pelancongan yang pertama, mereka memberi diskaun kos penginapan dan lawatan sebanyak 70% less...

17) Pembinaan Stadium diharamkan di Kelantan kerana dikhuatiri akan....errr......hmmm~

Hahahahaha... korang rase bnde ni mengarut??
melampau?? tak masuk akal?? sentap??!
....Hmmm....
first of all, kalo ade terase, mintak maaf bebanyak... segala bnde yg positif, harap2 diambil dan dipertingkatkan...
jikalau ade bnde yang berbaur negatif, smoga diambil dan dibaiki menjadi lebih baik...
Semestinya, aku menyokong penuh kedaulatan negara ini dan ingin melihatnya maju suatu hari nnti....Peace, Malaysia, ASEAN, ASIA, dan seluruh negara di muka bumi ini...

Maju Politik, Maju Ekonomi, Maju Sahsiah, Maju Rohani, Maju Sosial, hidup bertamadun...maka, kita akan berdiri di atas sebuah negara yang PERFECT! =p

3 disaster strikes Asean

Recently, 3 countries in South-East Asia had strikes by the disaster...
I offer my condolences to these beloved Asean countries...

Indonesia...

Indonesia sits on a major geological fault zone and experiences dozens of quakes every year. A 6.8 magnitude quake shook Sumatra on Thursday but there were no reports of deaths. Both quakes originated on the fault line that spawned the 2004 Asian tsunami that killed 230,000 people in a dozen nations.

Alhamdulillah, the Malaysian students that study there were safe... thanks for the government that bring them back~




Philipines...

Nearly 60 people were killed, Manila was blacked out and airline flights were suspended as a powerful typhoon battered the main Philippines island of Luzon on Saturday, disaster officials said.

Vietnam...

Four days of floods killed at least 17 people and left six missing in central Vietnam, the country's Central Steering Committee for Flood and Storm Control said Monday.

hmm... many of the structures were destroyed, lost of family members, lost of home and so many things happens... I'm so symphatized for those victims... As a neigbour country, Malaysia sending a voluntary rescue team to the locations... hopefully, these will helps them to survive...
Malaysia was surrounding with the country that just had a blast of disaster~ Thanks Allah for save Malaysia...Alhamdulillah...

Al-Fatihah...
May Allah bless all the victims~
