Nothing is free and easy in this world

I was blog walking and came across this story. The guy traded an amount of money in binary trading bank and the initial sum multiplied exponentially in a week. I was like how could this be true? The guy just drank coffee while money-making. Then I searched through the website about the bank and saw some news mentioning its service discontinuation. Why? Basically, it is just a betting on the commodity price. If it goes up, you win. If it goes down, you lose. So, what is better term to acknowledge this? Lottery.

Betting with money is not allowed in the religion. Logically, if you are depending on uncertainty, if you lose, you will lose badly. Some may have gone crazy. Some may have not.

The addiction to this happen when you are at winning. The tendency to become greedy is there if the reward is huge. You are going to repeat the betting, hoping that you will get richer next.

However, all of this is wrong, even if you think logically. How can you obtain an expensive items without even working on it? Even the conservation of mass principle state that mass in equals to mass out. So, whatever effort you put should be rewarded equally. That is how the norms work. Even if you want to eat, you have to open your mouth and chew the food. The feeling of getting full can only be realised when the food reach your stomach. So, nothing is magical in the real world. Only Allah is the Most Capable.

Inner conflict

I bet I really am in denial to go shower and work on my thesis tonight. Just finished watching two episodes of 'Return of Superman' and I had enough entertainment tonight. 

It is 2016, and I am really excited to end the MSc programme soon. I wonder what my life is going to progress next. Will I be working? Or... Will I be furthering studies to PHD level, I am not sure. But, just now, in the evening, Dr Fadzil said, the Dr title is not really something to be proud of, really. It shows that people have the trust on you to carry out the research on your own later. At least, you can guide someone else towards achieving better improvement or solution to problems in your field area. When I think of that thought, I don't know if I have that ability. After all, taking up responsibilities is really a big commitment that requires your energy. I don't know what has been planned for me by Him in near future. What I can say now is I really want to finish my thesis and whatsoever and think about other things later.

World issue has been scarier nowadays. Divorce rate among young couple, zika virus, political and economical instability all over the world, these are a few things that makes me wonder more of what I really want in life. 

Haram vape tapi rokok? 1.0

Tak faham dah orang kat dunia ni berfikir macam mana. Cakap, salah. Tak cakap pon salah. 
Lately ni cerita kat berita semuanya berkisarkan cerita pembunuhan dan vape. Now tengah musim orang tembak-tembak. Senang terus mati. Tak payah bayar bil hospital or menjalani kehidupan cacat kan? I think thats how pembunuh think la kot. Sigh... Ingat nyawa manusia boleh treat macam nyamuk ke? Tak kena kat hati ko sikit, terus bunuh. Abes, kalau bunuh, ko dapat apa? Apa pon tak dapat except hati yang tak tenang.
Vape? Tadi ada pakcik NGO marah-marah kementerian rampas nikotin berperisa yang dijual tanpa lesen ke apa ntah. Beriyer pak cik tu marah "kasi can la orang melayu meniaga?" mehh... Dah kenapa? Kot orang melayu jual dadah pon nak tolong ke? Tak faham dah. On the other side, dah kenapa bila vape ni baru nak heboh-heboh. Rokok conventional yang dah lama gila jual tu tak nak pulak rampas? Tak kan sebab pengeluar rokok bayar tax banyak, ko rasa terhutang budi, so bila pengeluar rokok bising pasal vape, ko pon tak kasi jual nikotin flavour? Okay, not that aku sokong rokok or vape, tapi pelaksanaan undang-undang untuk kedua-dua isu ni macam tak parallel. Both are completely useless kot (though ada orang kata vape tu alternative yang sihat berbanding rokok). Jin je makan asap weh. Yang ko pon nk telan asap dah kenapa. Nak flavour, p order air kat kedai la. Semua flavour ada. Tak sedap? P pasar, beli buah, potong sendiri or blend buat jus sendiri.
Haihhh. Nanti orang cakap, susah la nak berhenti. Ye, aku tak pernah merokok and tak tahu sengsara korang yang susah nak berhenti. Tapi, still, if you are aware of the harm, kenapa buat lagi? Nak seribu daya, tak nak seribu dalih kan? (betul ke tak peribahasa aku ni). 
Seriously, tak mampu dah tengok masyarakat suka 'jerebu' ni. Indah agaknya dunia korang ni tengok asap dimana-mana kan. Tau tak asap vape yg korang kata bau fruity sgt tu pon busuk jugak (though slightly less busuk la dari rokok biasa). 
Senang cerita, tak yah vape, tak yah rokok. G tanam pokok buah belakang rumah, nanti dah berbuah, anak bini pon sihat makan sama-sama. Ni kalau vape ke rokok ke, anak bini korang jugak yang sakit. Sakit apa? Sakit sebab 'merokok' jugak and sakit penat jaga korang bila korang sakit akibat rokok kelak. Tak payah nak cakap korang tak sakit now ke apa. Kalau lah korang willing to disect your chest, tengok la paru-paru korang tu. 
Yang melaksanakan undang-undang pon, jangan sebab nak lobi undi belia muda yang in trend dgn vape ni korg kata vape ni tak bahaya. Kuasa tu kalau ada, guna dengan betul la. Bukan ke jalan songsang. I am afraid of our nation's future. Entah HD, entah kabur macam tengok tv tanpa antena. 
This issue will be endless. Forever and ever sampai la each and one of us, tak kira pangkat dan pekerjaan, aware of bahaya rokok dan e-rokok ni. Nak kata pendidikan awal di sekolah or iklan di media massa tak buat? Dah buat dah. Semuanya bergantung pada hati individu itu sendiri. Tak semua bole jadi baik. Manusia tu tak sempurna kan sifatnya. Tapi kalau semua sentiasa niat untuk merubah ke arah kebaikan, inshaAllah ada pembaharuan.
