Revisit: The wisdom of we

My initial plan was to repost the material from my old blog, but then when I read it back… nakharom macam bangang tulisan aku dulu. Lol. Things have changed, so I think it is necessary to revise whilst retain the essence of ‘the wisdom of we’.

 Aug 6, 2009

I must say that I am not a good team player. But to me, the high performance team doesn’t necessarily compose of the team player people, but is built around the people who share common understanding and able to think on the same wavelength; function well together in perfect harmony and know how to have fun.

These guys really do work wonders; 

Halim Abd Aziz 

Fitry Kamaruzaman 

Aimi Syamimi.

We’ve worked together for several assignments and projects. Aku ni dahla bad team player, pemalas pulak… but they know how to play to my strength and get the best out of me. We've built a cohesive team and i think this is the best team I’ve ever worked with.

Everybody plays their part. Fitry is the leader, who makes things happen and holds the team together. Aimi is the brain, who controls, evaluates and analyses the details. Halim is the engine, tenacious and persistent, who gathers information. Me? I am lucky to get the chance to work with them.

Tetiba terkenang saat-saat cemerlang di universiti, hence this post. Haha

Perempuan Nan Bercinta

Saya seorang Muslim. Sunni dan Syiah saling melengkapi. Terdapat pertanyaan yang tidak dapat dijawab Ahli sunah Waljamaah telah dijawab oleh Syiah dengan jayanya, dan kekurangan Syiah pula ditampung oleh Ahli sunah Waljamaah.  

Saya seorang Muslim. Mazhab sama sekali tidak penting lagi buat saya. Mungkin dapat dikatakan saya Muslim generasi baharu. Saya generasi supramazhab.

Dr. Fatimah, Perempuan Nan Bercinta.

Membaca sajak-sajak Kahlil Gibran, Chairil Anwar, Salleh Ben Joned dan Pyanhabib. Terasa diri sedikit cultured.

MAUTOPIA

Ridhwan Saidi's Mautopia

Mautopia ialah sebuah dystopian novel yang sungguh Orwellian sekali. Jika 1984 ada Big Brother, newspeak, telescreen, thoughtcrime; Mautopia ada Guru Besar, tontonyang, larangpantang.

3 bintang.

Hard-boiled Wonderland And The End Of The World

I'd read...
1) Kafka On The Shore
2) Norwegian Wood
3) The Wind-up Bird Chronicle
4) 1Q84
5) Hard-boiled Wonderland And The End Of The World
..so far.

And I think Hard-boiled Wonderland And The End Of The World topples everything else by Murakami.

On my shelf. To read. Dance Dance Dance.

Animal Farm

George Orwell's Animal Farm

After reading this book, I now understand why islam regard babi as haiwan yang perlu di jauhi dan haram. lol

CEKIK

Ridhwan Saidi's Cekik

Cekik meminjam premis Haruki Murakami's Kafka On The Shore (2002) dengan berpaksi pada Oedipal curse. Jika KOTS tentang 15-year-old Kafka yang lari dari rumah bapanya, Cekik pula tentang 14-year-old Syed Warith yang lari dari rumah bapanya.
