Tatkala kumbang mogok...

Bolehkah madu diganti?

Saya selalu bermuhasabah pada konotasi yang terdapat di baris bidalan ini:

Kumbang tidak seekor, bunga tidak sekuntum.

Saya bukan renungkan dari aspek seseorang yang kecewa dalam bercinta. Sebenarnya ayat ini memaparkan kata-kata bersemangat dan positif untuk mereka yang bercinta separuh mati tapi dikecewakan. Lantas, dunia bagaikan zombie yang hidup segan, mati tak mau yang ditayangkan dalam Thriller nyanyian arwah MJ.

Saya bukan merenung ayat ini dari segi zombie yang melonjat-lonjat itu tapi dari jantina kumbang dan bunga. Bidalan ini menggambarkan kumbang itu semestinya jenis lelaki dan bunga pula semestinya perempuan.
Boleh tak kita pusingkan gambaran ini. Kita letaklah kumbang itu perempuan dan bunga itu lelaki. Ada orang tak boleh pusingkan pandangan ortodoks ini! Kenapa agaknya, kepala kita dibentuk begini? Mungkinkah peribahasa ini yang mengukir pemikiran kita begini? Sehingga kita melihat semua kumbang itu lelaki dan semua bunga itu perempuan?

Dari pengalaman, dari siasatan, dari pemerhatian, ini bukan halnya pada kerangka fikiran orang Jepun. Menjangkakan kumbang itu lelaki membawa tuduhan seksis.
Kumbang dan bunga adalah anugerah alam, pemberian-Nya dan mengikut fitrah mempunyai dua jantina. Juga bunga, fitrahnya ada bunga jenis jantan dan ada bunga jenis betina.

Kumbang yang menghisap madu bunga itu dari golongan kumbang askar. Kumbang askar diperintahkan-Nya mengumpulkan madu untuk Maharani Kumbang yang melahirkan beribu-ribu anak kumbang. Madu itu dikumpulkan untuk menghidupkan anak-anak kumbang.

Bolehkah madu diganti jika kumbang hilang dari busana tua dan kerepot ini?

Pertanyaan besar, janganlah dipermain-mainkan soalan ini. BIG Happening.

Kumbang semakin berkurangan di Jepun! Rakyat kumbang di Jepun sangat rendah sampaikan tahun ini pasaran madu di Jepun tidak mencukupi.

Balik lagi...bolehkah madu diganti?

Masalah kumbang mati, kumbang kurang...itu juga masalah saya.

Bolehkah madu yang saya sapukan bersama roti panggang dan taburan tepung kacang soya buat sarapan setiap pagi digantikan?

Miyou Jyou/Tatkala bintang masih bersinar...

Totas Matsumoto

The suicide rate for the first half of the year has reached more that 35,000. That's double the yearly figure of 33,000 deaths.
The older people over 90 years old seem to hang on to life but the opposite is happening to the younger people in Japan.
Most of suicide happened to people within the age group of 50s-60s years of age.

This song The Shining Star, debut last month.

I don't have time to go into the fine line. This is my best effort.


Everything that happened in this world has a reason.
We have only one life. The only way to go is up. Look positive.
Whatever we do is not wrong. Whatever we do is not a mistake.
We have to go on with life. We have only one life. Our life is not a mistake.

My cute girl left for America. She went without telling me. Then, this morning I received a line saying she forgot to let me know. How stupid can she be!
I want to be with her. Its a dream. But, I still want to be with her.

I picked a magazine from the train floor, after reading, I cried so much. Still life goes on.
I'm hungry, very hungry. I want to eat but I can't. But life goes on.

Life has to go on. Life is not a mistake. Life is everything.
Look at the shining star. That is our life. Just one star. One shine. One life.

Tatkala komunis bermain...

AFP - Friday, June 19

Japan's defence ministry believes that North Korea might now be planning to launch a two-stage or three-stage Taepodong-2 missile towards either Japan's Okinawa island, Guam or Hawaii, according to the report.

But the ministry said launches toward Okinawa or Guam were "extremely unlikely" because the first-stage booster could drop into waters off China, agitating Beijing, or hit western Japanese territory, the report said.

If the missile were fired in the direction of Hawaii, the booster could drop in the Sea of Japan (East Sea) well before the missile's remaining part flies over northern Japan and towards North America.

This would put "enormous military pressure on the United States," the Yomiuri said, citing the ministry report.

The ministry concluded that it was "most likely" that North Korea's next ballistic missile test would be directed toward Hawaii, the daily said.

WOHO!

SATU PERTANYAAN: Apa pasal tak ada orang berani heret kepala komunis ini ala Saddam Hussein?

Number 53 tyme

Bukan sekalung rantai emas, bukan sebiji mata putih berkarat atau sebuah Honda Prelude...bukan, bukan tapi dua buah bergantungan dan berjuntai-juntai. Inilah hadiah istimewa itu. Hasil titik peluhnya sendiri.

That is goya grown especially for me. Goya or bitter gourd or peria. We are eating goya almost everyday now. Some Japanese eat it raw like salad but I do a half stir-fry and eat it still crispy. It is very bitter. But I'm used to the taste. I can't compare the Okinawa goya with the goya found in Malaysia simply because I forgot the taste of the Malaysia version.

When we were newly married, I could not hold hands like this. I was very conscious of people around us looking. Menyampah! Nak tunjuk-tunjuk!
But now, that doesn't bother me anymore. Holding each other is like eating and drinking after more than 27 years into the marriage.

My birthday dinner

Replying to a question in the previous entry from Sara atorako about halal food in Okinawa. So far no muslims have died of hunger in Okinawa. Even if there is no muslim shops in Okinawa, there are varieties of Japanese food that muslims can eat. If you insist on eating halal meat, go to the dining hall at Okinawa International Center (JICA) in Urasoe. That's the only place as far as I know that serve halal meat.
Hope your stay in Okinawa is pleasant.

Tatkala "tanka" diMelayukan...(2)

Rangkai satu---Sunyi membawa kepada kenangan lampau bagi manusia. Ingatan itu kadang kala manis namun sekaligus menusuk sampai ke hulu hati.

Rangkai dua---Tatkala seseorang berada di tempat bersejarah, seperti di Jabal Rahmah, dia rasakan apa yang dirasai oleh Adam dan Hawa, cinta luhur dua makhluk yang terpisah. Keduanya seakan menapak ke Ka'bah (Kaabah) kerana itulah lambang cinta agung (Cinta sesama manusia semata-mata kerana Allah).
