::Antara keperluan n kehendak, yg mne korg pilih?::
Bile cite psl keperluan n kehendak nih teringt plk aku wktu form 4 ke form 5 (x ingt plk aku bile) tp tjuk keperluan n kehendak nih de dlm salah satu subjek skool menengah x silap aku subjek ekonomi asas. Aku minat gile subjek nih tp bile kluo result SPM, OMG!!! Aku dpt 7D tuk subjek nih, hahaha tp aku bkn nk cite psl SPM kt cnih aku nk cite psl keperluan n kehendak dlm kehidupan aku di Jordan.
Teringt aku wktu first aku smpai Jordan dlu, mmg sejuk gile, winter lar katakan, dh la pakaian sejuk aku bwk sket jer. So, aku terpaksa kluo duit utk bli pakaian sejuk. Wktu tuh kira keperluan ler bcoz aku ade dua tiga helai jer baju sejuk. Bila aku bli pakaian sejuk tuh mmg x memilih dh, asal muat n selesa aku trus angkat tanpa byk pikir, x kisah ler brg bundle jnji ley pkai. At that time mmg bangga gile ar sbb ade bju sejuk kan, ala-ala mat saleh gitu. Bju sejuk yg aku beli tuh lar aku wat pegi jln, pegi campus, main salji aka snow n mcm2 lg lar. Bergambar mmg x ingt dunia lar, setiap 20 langkah SNAP, ade jer tempat menarik SNAP. Wktu tuh mmg best gile lar sbb first time kan, mmg teruja, sume bnda nk wat sume bnda nk cuba.
Slps setahun berlalu, aku mula bli pakaian sejuk mengikut kehendak aku. Bju tuh must have a little bit sense of fashion xkisah lar branded ker or brand cikai ker jnji ley pkai kan. Itupun sbb aku asyik tgok channel Fashion TV, dh boring duk rumah, internet plk xdew lg wktu tuh so lyn tv jer lar. Bila tgok Fashion TV tuh teringin lar plk bju cmtuh kan so aku pun bli lar.
Lgpun aku de gk dpt sedikit sebyk nasihat dr senior aku aka fashionista. Dia lar yg byk bg tunjuk ajar dlm selok belok dunia fashion nih. Lama kelamaan aku shopping mengikut keperluan n memilih brg yg diperlukan tuh mengikut kehendak n citarasa aku so xdew lar kita membazir sgt kan. Kita akn rs puas hati bila brg yg kita bli mengikut keperluan at the same time mengikut kehendak citarasa kita. So renung2 kan.21 February 2010
::Own The Interview, 10 Questions to Ask::
For many job seekers an interview can seem too much like an inquisition. That's usually because they're doing all the answering and none of the asking.
"Somewhere in the interview you have a chance to impress the employer on your own terms and see if the job is a good fit for you," says Florida-based career coach and executive recruiter Jonathan Milligan. "And you absolutely should take this opportunity. By asking the right questions you can determine if the job is right for you and also show you're engaged and interested in the job."
Employment experts identify five key question areas where you can gain insight, put yourself in a good light, and take some control in the interview.
Identify their pain.
· "What is one of the biggest problems the company faces that someone with my background could help alleviate?"
· "If I started in this job tomorrow, what would be my two most pressing priorities?"
Find out where the company is going.
· "Where do you see this department/company in five years?"
· "What are the long and short term goals of the company/department/work group?"
Determine whether you'd fit in.
· "How would you describe your company's culture?
· "What tangible and intangible qualities attracted you to the organization?"
Show you're really interested.
· "What additional information can I provide about my qualifications?"
· "What are the next steps in the selection process?"
Ask follow-ups.
· "Can you clarify what you said about ...?"
· "Can you give me some examples of ...?"
"By requesting clarification or examples, you show interviewers you care and that you're thinking deeply about the issues they brought up," says learning and development consultant Bill Denyer. He suggests taking notes in the interview, using keywords to jog your memory of what was discussed but not burying your head in your notebook.
What you don't want to ask are questions with obvious answers, according to Susan RoAne, author of "Face to Face: How to Reclaim the Personal Touch in a Digital World."
"You really need to do your homework," RoAne tells Yahoo! HotJobs. "Before the interview go to the company website and use search engines to get up to speed, and browse social networking sites like Yahoo! Groups to see who knows what about the company."
"And never, never ask an interviewer, 'How long is the vacation'? or, 'What does your company do?'" RoAne added.
Some experts suggest waiting for the inevitable "Do you have any questions for us?" at the interview, while others recommend looking for conversation openings to ask appropriate questions.
"It depends on the situation," Milligan says. "If the interviewer seems to be reading from a sheet of questions, don't interrupt. If it's a more casual conversation, you may have chances to turn the questions back on the interviewer."

::Frail boy-king Tut died from malaria, broken leg::
Egypt's famed King Tutankhamun suffered from a cleft palateand club foot, likely forcing him to walk with a cane, and died from complications from a broken leg exacerbated by malaria, according to the most extensive study ever of his more than 3,300-year-old mummy.
The findings were from two years of DNA testing and CT scans on 16 mummies, including those of Tutankhamun and his family, the team that carried out the study said in an article to be published Wednesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
It also established the clearest yet family tree for Tut, indicating for the first time that he was the child of a brother-sister union.
The study said his father was most likely Akhenaten, the pharaoh who tried to revolutionize ancient Egyptian religion and force his people to worship one god. The mummy shown by DNA to be that of Tut's mother also turned out to be a sister of Akhenaten, though she has not yet been identified.
Tut, who became pharaoh at the age of 10 in 1333 B.C., ruled for just nine years at a pivotal time in Egypt's history. While a comparatively minor king, the 1922 discovery of his tomb filled with stunning artifacts, including the famed golden funeral mask, made him known the world over.
Speculation had long swirled over why the boy king died at such a young age. A hole in his skull long fueled speculation he was murdered, until a 2005 CT scan ruled that out, finding the hole was likely from the mummification process. The scan also uncovered the broken leg.
In contrast to the golden splendor he was buried with, the newest CAT scans and DNA tests revealed a sickly teen pharaoh, weakened by congenital illnesses finally done in by complications from the broken leg aggravated by severe brain malaria.
The team said it isolated DNA of the malaria parasite in several of the family's mummies, including Tut's — the oldest such discovery.
"A sudden leg fracture possibly introduced by a fall might have resulted in a life threatening condition when a malaria infection occurred," concluded the article in the Journal of the American Medical Association. "Tutankhamun had multiple disorders... He might be envisioned as a young but frail king who needed canes to walk."
Like his father, Tutankhamun had a cleft palate. He also had a club foot and suffered from Kohler's disease in which lack of blood flowwas slowly destroying the bones of his left foot — an often painful condition, the study said. It noted that 130 walking sticks and canes were discovered in Tut's tomb, some of them with trace of wear suggested they had been used.
The new study also answered long standing questions over Tutankhamun's family. His grandfather was thePharaoh Amenhotep III, and his father was mostly likely the famous Akhenaten, who attempted to change millenia of Egypt's religious tradition by forcing the country to worship the sun god Aten, instead of usual multiplicity of deities.
Some archaeologists have speculated that Tut's father was a little-known figure, Smenkhkare, thought to have ruled as a pharoah or co-regent.
Archaeologists have never been certain of the identity of Tut's mother. DNA tests pinpointed which mummy is that of his mother — and that she was the sister of his father — but her name remains uncertain. Brother-sister marriages were common among ancient Egypt's pharaohs.
The studies also disproved speculation that Tutankhamun and members of his family suffered from rare disorders that gave them feminine attributes and misshapen bones, including Marfan Syndrome, a connective tissue disorder that can result in elongated limbs.
The theories arose from the artistic style and statues of the period, which showed the royal men with prominent breasts, elongated heads and flared hips.
"It is unlikely that either Tutankhamun or Akhenaten actually displayed a significantly bizarre or feminine physique," said the article.
::Islamofobia di Eropah::
Undi sebanyak 57 peratus menyokong pengharaman pembinaan menara masjid di Switzerland itu memberi gambaran perasaan rakyat negara Eropah yang terkenal dengan sikap berkecuali dan tempat lahir badan Palang Merah antarabangsa.
Sikap ini mungkin sesuatu yang baharu, tetapi boleh juga merupakan manifestasi apa yang sedia dirasakan selama ini, dan hanya terzahir apabila digerakkan oleh sekumpulan ahli politik berhaluan kanan.
Dua parti politik berhaluan kanan yang membawa isu ini untuk diundi menggelar menara masjid sebagai simbol agenda politik Islam, berdasarkan aliran fahaman yang melihat Islam dan orang Muslim sentiasa mempunyai agenda politik untuk mendominasi, dan fahaman bahawa Islam menafikan hak-hak orang lain.
Malangnya, isu ini tidak mendapat respons meluas dalam kalangan negara Islam, ketika Pertubuhan Persidangan Islam (OIC) yang ditubuhkan dengan tujuan membela umat mencapai usia 40 tahun.
Belumpun reda isu di Switzerland itu, pengharaman itu dan semangatnya mendapat sambutan dalam kalangan lain di negara Eropah sekitarnya. Geert Wilders, ahli politik anti-Islam di Belanda menyambut tindakan itu, dan dilapor berkata, "Apa yang boleh dilakukan di Switzerland, boleh dilakukan di sini."
Dunia Islam sebelum ini dikejutkan oleh Wilders yang terlibat dalam pembikinan filem anti-Islam berjudul Fitna, yang memfitnah Islam dengan pelbagai tohmahan tidak berasas. Wilders tidak berhenti dengan filem Fitna dan sedang meneruskan agenda anti-Islamnya.
Sebelum undi mengharamkan menara masjid dilaksanakan, kumpulan anti-Islam di Inggeris berkumpul melakukan protes menentang apa yang dilihat "proses Islamisasi" Eropah.
Selepas undi di Switzerland, kumpulan ini yang diketuai Liga Pertahanan Inggeris dan Hentikan Islamisasi Eropah mendapat suntikan semangat baharu untuk meneruskan kempennya.
Protes kali kedua - selepas yang pertama dua bulan lalu - kali ini menyifatkan menara masjid sebagai simbol dominasi Islam dalam masyarakat Kristian yang sekular.
Protes yang sama berlaku di Jerman sejak beberapa tahun lalu, menyaksikan ahli dan penyokong kumpulan berhaluan kanan menentang pembinaan masjid. Kumpulan-kumpulan ini turut terkesan dan pada masa sama memberi kesan kepada apa yang berlaku di seluruh Eropah.
Konservatif di Jerman bersuara menggesa Muslim negara itu "berpada-pada" dalam membina masjid, walaupun mereka mempunyai hak membinanya.
Selepas lapan tahun "ancaman Islam" dijadikan tema politik dunia ekoran serangan 11 September, 2001 di Amerika Syarikat, kesannya semakin mudah untuk dilihat di seluruh dunia.
Di Belanda, Switzerland, Inggeris dan Jerman, Islamofobia menunjukkan wajahnya, dan mendapat sokongan ramai rakyat negara itu.
Apa yang berlaku ini menunjukkan siapa sebenarnya yang tertutup, sukar untuk menerima kepelbagaian dan realiti globalisasi, tuduhan yang mudah dikaitkan dengan orang Muslim.
Perdebatan mengenai hak dan demokrasi menjadi lebih sukar dengan perkembangan ini, terutama sekiranya Eropah yang kuat menjajanya di peringkat antarabangsa (termasuk menjadikannya sebagai syarat kemasukan Turki ke dalam Kesatuan Eropah) gagal menangani gejala ini di wilayahnya sendiri.
