What Goes up Must Come Down!

When you throw something into the air, it will eventually come down due to the law of gravity. However when prices keep spiralling upwards there is no law of gravity to pull it down. The result of such economic phenomena will be inflation. Then the bubble will burst, then there will be economic depression. I am not sure whether my theory is correct because I am not an economic professor. Simply to me the future looks rather gloomy!

Anyway to cushion us ( our school )from the rising prices, yesterday and the day before I went to the biggest stationary warehouse in Shah Alam to buy some 30 reams of A 4 papers, 1200 pieces of execise books, and some other stationaries. The salesgirl commented that I was doing a clever thing since she believed the price will definitely incresed by 40-50% come the 1st of July. I would have bought more items but that would tie down my capital and disturb my cashflow and the other problem would be storage.

The rise in prices of most goods is really hurting us. We are running our school based more on charitable consideration rather than a commercial one. As such we could not expect the parents to be burdened with increase in fees. At one point I thought that we might have to close the school. I was a bit depressed. Fortunately, with prayers and peservearence Allah SWT made it dawned upon me that if we are doing His job, help will come in many ways.

Insya-Allah we will plod on day by day to build this school to make it a success. May Allah allow this to happen. Ameen!

Di Pagi Selasa

Assalamualaikum!

Hari ini hari Selasa, bangun pagi selepas solat subuh, selepas anak-anak semua dah keluar ke sekolah dan keluar kerja fikiranku mula berputar. " Aapakah jadual aku hari ini? " Mula-mula sekali aku sudah tahu aku nak ke pasar, kemudian aku ada kelas English jam 9.45 hingga 10.45. Kemudian aku ada tugas besar aku nak kena buat. Apakah tugasku itu?

Semalam aku terbaca dalam akhbar harga kertas akan naik 50%. Jadi tugas aku hari ini adalah untuk membeli seberapa banyak kertas dan buku-buku latihan yang kami perlu . Aku hendak pergi ke Kedai pemborong alat-tulis yang terbesar di Shah Alam. Berdebar juga hati, mungkinkah aku akan dapat harga lama atau seperti beras juga, mereka akan naikkan harga itu dengan bersegera kerana hendak mengaut keuntungan!

Hai, kalau nak mengeluh dah boleh sangat! Bagaimanakah kami akan menangani kenaikkan harga barang-barang ini. Nak sumpah seranahpun tak guna nanti takut dapat dosa pula. Maka kenalah cekalkan hati untuk menempuh hari-hari yang mendatang, seribu doa ku luahkan, sebesar dulang tangan di tadahkan dan segunung harapan ku sematkan dihati. Semoga semangat juang yang ada pada kami tidak mudah tergoncang oleh keadaan yang melanda.

Entahlah! sekarang aku hendak pergi kepasar dahulu mencari bahan makanan untuk keperluan kami dan warga sekolah. Tiap kali pergi ke pasar kepalaku tidak boleh bajet lagi. Sangat memeningkan. Harga ikan sudahlah terlalu mahal, harga ayampun sudah naik ke rm 6.50 sekilo dan khabarnya akan naik lagi, harga santan dan lain-lain keperluan semuanya meningkat. Penangan kenaikkan harga minyak belum melanda sepenuhnya lagi. Mungkinkah tidak ada penghujungnya dalam perkara kenaikkan harga barang ini?

Sedih melihat keadaan dan kami hanya boleh mengadu kepada yang Maha Berkuasa. Ya Allah kami pohon supaya perjalanan sekolah ini tidak terjejas. Ameen, Ameen Ya Robbul'aalameen!

My Destination

I am making plans .....
going to a destination,
It has all the attractions...
that defy your imagination,
I am sure you'd want to follow,
if you are in the know...

You may book the ticket,
but it has no confirmation,
suddenly you realised ...
you are at the station!
Nobody takes a ride,
even by the side..
Travelling by yourself..
You are on your own !

I have some idea,
From what I did gather,
of the place where I want to go..
It's not for everyone,
'Cos it's so special...
It's only for those... I am told,
Who are... a 'Blessed soul',

There's a magnificient palace..
made of glass and crystals,
With lovely indoor garderns..
and vast garderns outside,
with flowing rivers,
and all the wonders!

The atmosphere smells..
sweet of fragrance,
in the breeze thats blows lazy,
making you delightfully...dizzy!

With the wind that moves along,
There's singing of songs,
with voices of angels,
the rythm of which is a lullaby

You'd get all your heart's desire,
or anything you admire,
the furniture's a luxury,
and such beauty..
The carperts's so thick,
with designs never seen,
the cushions are 'comfy'..
of velvet in green,

So intelligent is your place of abode,
that anything you want...
there's a mode ...
you'd just have to think,
It will come in a blink!

Rows of handsome butlers,
Rows of preety maids,
At your command they are always good,
serving sumptous food...
and drinks of sparkling wine,
the taste of which you had never dine,

Your dress are gowns of flowing silk...
and shinning brocades,
with diamonds and jewels..,
you'd look a beauty..
as you should be,

There's no nonsense,
And nothing foul...
There's no pain to suffer,
No sadness or madness,
There's only beauty,
and serenity..
And this is the place...
Where I want to be .. !
