Overuse Is Losing(O.I.L)

Salam and greetings to all readers.

This post will be about the current issue-oil price. Note as a reminder that I will not side any body in this country as this is only thought of mine.

I have been browsing the net and read through articles and there are lots of things that i get from others. Some are annoyed with the government and some just tell us to be patience and start to learn how to cut short our expenses. But,mostly,blame the government for the unreasonable increment.(Based on the statistics of previous increment,it can be seen that this year increment is the most highest-78cents.)
(You know what,i guess correctly when i say government will say the actual increment is 1Ringgit but they will say they give discount 30cents.LOL)

From what i can get through reading are:
1.Why did the Prime Minister suddenly announced the new oil price?why not later?
2.Why not the Prime Minister just let the price rise slowly-by phase,not drastically.
3. A minister said that the price will be announced on August.why now?
4. Those minister tell us to change our lifestyles(the poor people) but what about them(the upper class people)?
5.It's unfair for the upper class to have same subsidies like the poor people.
6.Why the Prime Minister always tell our oil price is cheaper when our per income capital is lower than other countries?This is how they(ministers) want to tricks our mind(NOTE:it's not me who says,this is what i found)
7.Why do the government still increase the oil price when we are the net exporter of oil,where we shouldn't be affected by the oil price.
8.PETRONAS can make a lot of profits and why not subsidies the profits?
9.And the list will go on...etc2

(As a Petronas scholar,i am not please when people always talk about the profit that Petronas gets.It's not that i'm against it but what i'm not please is when people want more of Petronas profits to support oil subsidies.Yesterday, i read about what Tan Sri Dato Sri Mohd Hassan Marican said in the newspaper. He mention that 33.5billion of its profits has already been channeled to the government to subsidies oil.He said that,people should know that the cost of oil exploration and research has already increase too. That means,Petronas should also spend more on to reinvest for it's company to grow.He added that most of other oil companies fail to excel when lots of their profits is given to the country.As for me,i wonder does the government really make use of Petronas profit to subsidies oil or not?-sigh)

I also received another opinion from my dad over our breakfast.He said that,the more government spend on subsidizing oil,the more greedy people will overuse the oil-which then,will increase the number of cars on road(I've read this too on newspaper article a long time ago where the writer compares Petronas and Pertamina.He says thatPertamina was once one of the top oil company in the world but it fell when more of its profit was used to support oil subsidizing) .It's not so hard to change our lifestyles. When buying for example,do we eat nasi lemak only or nasi lemak with sotong,telur and so on.We choose the best way to save our money.It's up to us actually.

I agreed with him but suddenly i remember some other thing i read.
"Apa yang orang kaya cakap pasal kemiskinan tak sama dengan apa yang orang miskin cakap pasal kemiskinan"

I am quite fortunate because i was born not from a rich family but from a quite good economically-established family.I might not affected the whole(still student) but i can see what the poor people felt(but i know,i didn't feel the same way as they did).Thanks to my father who asked me to get a job while waiting for SPM results last two years.It was really tiring to be a waiter who sometimes got on-call duties but still get low earnings(yeah i know,part-timer only get few,but not as what i thought it was).I had made a calculation where i suppose to get 400++ but i only manage to get 300++.That's because of uniform fee,EPF and so on. There was also a brother(who's older than me) who will to come to Kelana Jaya from Shah Alam just to be a sushi-maker.When i asked why don't he just work on his area,he answered that there are no jobs for him to occupy.He had to ride a motorcycle just to get to workplace. He only got 1000++ not including overtime.I wonder how he would manage to survive if he was still to work there(His presence is no longer on sushi king-he might quit the job i think)

I think i have talk to much that i have run from what i want to say.My point is we should be with the poor people when we want to talk about the poor people.(NOTE:i'm not trying to argue that what my father said was wrong.Because i know,he had felt the difficult times a long time ago to support our family.So,what he said make sense.Thanks dad for everything)


All in all,we shouldn't blame anyone for this issue. What we can do is to find solutions to settle all matters. What i can recommend is let us get back to the Holy Quran-a book that covers all aspect of our lives and it is still practical till the End of the Day.Like what God says in Surah Muhammad,47:24
"Maka tidakkah mereka menghayati Al-Quran ataukah hati mereka sudah terkunci?"

Let us refresh our mind.
1.As for saving,we should kill our nafs.Like in surah Al-Jathiyah,45:23
"Maka pernahkah kamu melihatnya orang-orang yang menjadikan hawa nafsunya sebagai Tuhannya dan Allah membiarkan sesat berdasarkan ilmunya dan Allah telah mengunci mati,pendegarannya dan hatinya dan meletakkan tutupan atas penglihatannya.Maka siapakah yang akan memberikan petunjuk setelah Allah(membiarkannya sesat)maka mengapa kamu tidak mengambil pengajaran"

Do you all know that jihad against our nafs is the greatest jihad of all?

2.It's true we might angry towards our government over certain issues,but we should never talk bad things about them.Like in Surah al-Hujurat,49:12

"Wahai orang-orang beriman,jauhilah kebanyakan dari prasangka,sesungguhnya sebahagian dari prasangka itu adalah dosa dan janganlah kamu mencari-cari kesalahan orang lain dan janganlah sebahagian kamu mengumpat sebahagian yang lain.Sukakah salah seorang di antara kamu memakan daging saudaranya yang sudah mati?Maka tentulah kamu merasa jijik kepadanya.Dan bertakwalah kamu kepada Allah.Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Penerima Taubat lagi Penyayang"

Indeed,we should always think good of others.

3.For those who are quite fortunate,help those who are unlucky.Like in Surah Muhammad,47:38
"Ingatlah,kamu adalah orang-orang yang diajak untuk menginfakkan (hartamu)di jalan Allah.Lalu di antara kamu ada orang yang kikir, dan barang siapa kikir maka sesungguhnya dia kikir terhadap dirinya sendiri.Dan Allah-lah Yang Maha kaya,dan janganlah kamu yang membutuhkan(karunianNya).Dan jika kamu berpaling(dari jalan yang benar)Dia akan menggantikan(kamu) dengan kaum yang lain,dan mereka tidak akan (durhaka) seperti kamu"

As for me,i hold on
"Jika kamu mengejar akhirat,dunia pasti datang"
Its analogy is like a body,a source of light and a shadow.If you after your own shadow(world),you will stay where you are(stray form the right path).But,when you run to the source of light(akhirat),the shadow(world) will always follow you.

I know that my understanding in Islam is not so good,but Allah says,we should always remind others.Like in Surah az-Zaariyat,51:55 and Surah al-Asr,103:1-3.We are never perfect in all,so,we should never ever wait to be perfect to remind others

That's all for now.Let me highlight you all again that this post has nothing to do to any side of party,body,individual or so on.It is just a share of opinion of mine.

p/s:In future,i might have difficulties in finding job(Petroleum engineer),so i think i suppose to work harder from now on to safe a good position in job.I have read in some articles,which i have forgotten from where i read it,but it stated that-It's true that oil is drying out,but,it is only on from the spot that we have discovers.There are still about two third yet to be discovered soon.(i hope what it says is correct)

Thanks for reading guys.
Assalamualaikum.

A cup of cofee..anyone?

It has been a very tiring week (sigh) with lots of unexpected things to happen at a sudden. I can feel the fatigue in my body. I wish I were in the comfort zone like some of the students here (I wonder why they don’t even care of the upcoming test. They all just playing games till night and then continue playing it again in the afternoon (they wakes up at afternoon). I would just do that at home-playing games all day long.

Talking about home, I am not going back this week due to unexpected test; physics on Friday (2^nd of May) and Introduction to Computer Information System, Saturday (3rd of May) and not to forget Chemistry on Tuesday(29^th of April). The bad thing about it is, we are given only short time of preparing for it and the test are all near to each other. (phew) Maybe I will be going home on 9^th of May (insyaAllah), a week before final lecture. It seems like I have to wait to release all this study stuff. (Sigh)

Not only that, I have to finish my report on last Friday and I will be having two replacement labs on the same day tomorrow. Recently, I notice that my sleep routine has changed. Usually I sleep for about 6 hours and now it has started to reduce to 4 hours. The weird thing is, I don’t feel tired of it. I am just worried if there is a side effect of it. But, what I know is, it is not about the cup of coffee (the title is just merely a hook-LOL)

I remember once, last 2 years, my teacher said that “You will have an easy life on University level unlike in high school. So, just try your best in SPM. After that, you will not ‘suffer’” she said. Hurm, now I know that it is not as what she had claimed long before.LOL. It has just to be difficult to have a life, right. A life without struggle is useless eh?

In my last session with my naqib, he asked a few question.

“Dari mana manusian diciptakan?”

“Kenapa manusia diciptakan?”

“Untuk apa manusia diciptakan?”

All the answers are all in the Quran.

Al Hijr-ayat 26

“Dan sesungguhnya Kami telah menciptakan manusia (Adam) dari tanah liat kering (yang berasal) dari lumpur hitam yang diberi bentuk.”

Al baqarah-ayat 30

“ Ingatlah ketika Tuhanmu berfirman kepada para Malaikat: "Sesungguhnya Aku hendak menjadikan seorang khalifah di muka bumi." Mereka berkata: "Mengapa Engkau hendak menjadikan (khalifah) di bumi itu orang yang akan membuat kerusakan padanya dan menumpahkan darah, padahal kami senantiasa bertasbih dengan memuji Engkau dan mensucikan Engkau?" Tuhan berfirman: "Sesungguhnya Aku mengetahui apa yang tidak kamu ketahui." “

Az-Dzaariyyaat-ayat 56

“ Dan aku tidak menciptakan jin dan manusia melainkan supaya mereka mengabdi kepada-Ku.”

And as a conclusion from all what I want to convey in this blog is what can be find in al-Quran surah Al-Mu’minun ayat 115

” Maka apakah kamu mengira, bahwa sesungguhnya Kami menciptakan kamu secara main-main (saja), dan bahwa kamu tidak akan dikembalikan kepada Kami?”

We might not know what is all about, what God know what He is doing to us. Like in another Sura Alam Nasyrah-ayat 5-6

“ Karena sesungguhnya sesudah kesulitan itu ada kemudahan, sesungguhnya sesudah kesulitan itu ada kemudahan. “

Is it good or bad?

Assalamualaikum…it has been a long time already eh??LOL.

Hurm, where should I start from? Well, after a week of busyness, I manage to put my fingers on this laptop and write this post.

Lots of things had happened last 2weeks. First, my group had presented our drama and it was two thumbs up from our tutor and we are qualified to enter drama competition, if there is any. After that, we were so busy preparing our literary analysis that we were so disappointed to know we would present it next week (I slept at 3 just to finish the slidesT.T).

Hey..I have received certificate of academic achievement from UTP rector’s himself and it was a really great day. There are 9 people who managed to score 4 flat and three of them are from Petroleum Engineering.LOL. Even though I didn’t manage to get it, but I was “proud” of my friend’s achievement (my course).LOL.

Currently, I join ‘Sehari Bersama’ program held by Rakan Muda as a facilitator to help school student in their examination. I am appointed to Sekolah Menengah Teknik Seri Iskandar pupils. Phew, lots of things I heard from my friend. For example, ‘Selalunya budak2 teknik ni susah sikit nak jaga sebab diorang ni banyak sikit masalah disiplin’. Yea I know it but it is the greatest challenge that I have to face (chaiyo2). At the end, I will be judged whether I managed to change them or not. Hu3.

Oh yea, I have just received a message saying that I have been selected to join Tekad program, another program that involve school pupils. This one is quite different from Rakan Muda program because it will be only conducted once unlike ‘Sehari Bersama’ where the program is continuous. Another thing is, I am not only be there as a facilitator but as the comitee. Yeah!!

Hurm,Last night, I went to another interview for incoming Convofair. I was having a telephone conversation with my mum on the way there. To my surprise there were only a few attended that interview. ( I mean, it is the biggest event in UTP and how come there were only a few people there). I applied for Marketing and Merchandise Department because I want to know how far I’m good in doing business.HU3.

So you see, there is a problem here. There are so many activities that I join now that make me wonder whether I could handle it or not. It’s not that I’m into all things, but I just wanna keep my life in UTP a lil bit different. Well, compare to last SEM, I was still adjusting my life in here but now I have started to get more than just studying. You see next two weeks I’m goanna to have my second test and I really really hope that I can manage my time systematically. This busyness makes me wanna write this post to share with you guys. There is another one, I didn’t write for quite a long time and I wonder did I improve or getting worsens. You tell me okay??
