Can I Borrow RM 25?

A woman came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find her 5-year old son waiting for her at the door.

SON: 'Mummy, may I ask you a question?'

MUM: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the woman.

SON: 'Mummy, how much do you make an hour?'

MUM: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the woman said angrily.

SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?'

MUM: 'If you must know, I make RM 50 an hour.'

SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.

SON: 'Mummy, may I please borrow RM 25?'

The mother was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don't work hard everyday for such childish frivolities.'

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The woman sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?

After about an hour or so, the woman had calmed down, and started to think:

Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that RM 25 and he really didn't ask for money very often . The woman went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

'Are you asleep, son?' She asked.

'No Mummy, I'm awake,' replied the boy.

'I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the woman. 'It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the RM 25 you asked for.'

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you Mummy!' he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.

The woman saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.

The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his mother.

'Why do you want more money if you already have some?' the mother grumbled.

'Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,' the little boy replied.

'Mummy, I have RM 50 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.'

The mother was crushed. She put his arms around her little son, and she begged for his forgiveness.

It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that RM 50 worth of your time with someone you love.

If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of hours. But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

PENJIMATAN ELEKTRIK

Semalam,aku ada terima mail yang berkisar tentang kos penggunaan elektrik bagi beberapa barang. Bila dibelek-belek dan dihitung2,walaupun kos yang tertera itu rendah,tetapi bila dicongak2 dalam sehari dan didarab pulak selama 30 hari,maka kosnya secara automatik kita dapati ber'baloi-baloi'. Di sini ada aku paparkan kos2 tersebut yang dikira selama 1 jam..

Untuk Semenanjung, tarif yang ditetapkan oleh TNB adalah puratanya 30 sen hingga 45 sen untuk kilowatt-hour (kWh),bergantung kepada penggunaan masing2. Lebih banyak yang kita guna,lebih tinggi nilainya.

Below is a short table of common electrical appliances, and a rough estimate on how much they cost to run for every hour.
(The cost may seem low, but remember, even using 3 sen/hour means that you will be paying about RM 20 a month if you leave it on for 24 hours a day!)

Appliance Estimated cost (sen/hour)

Fluorescent lights 1 sen
Wireless Router 1 sen
ASTRO decoder + dish 2 sen
Table Fan 2 sen
Incandescent lights 3 sen
Ceiling Fan 3 sen
Computer (laptop) 5 sen
CRT (‘normal’) TV (21 inch) 3 sen
LCD TV (32 inch) 7 sen
Computer (desktop) 9 sen
Plasma TV (42 inch) 10 sen
Washing Machine 15 sen
Vaccuum Cleaner 17 sen
Electrical Clothes Iron 33 sen
Electric Hot Plate 46 sen
Air Conditioning 46 sen
Electric Water Kettle 50 sen

(minta maaf,jadual barang elektrik dan kosnya tidak dapat diedit.)

Jadi sama2 lah kita hitung congak berapa kos yang kita gunakan untuk sehari dan untuk sebulan. Kadang2 walaupun kita tidak gunakan sesuatu barang elektrik itu,tetapi suisnya tidak ditutup,ia tetap dikira. Contohnya tv,komputer,laptop dan sebagainya. Sayang rasanya duit kita mengalir begitu sahaja tanpa menggunakannya. Semoga lepas ini sama-samalah kita berjimat dan belajar daripada artikel ini.

Nak kaya cepat?

Baru2 ini suami ada menunjukkan minat barunya, iaitu bermain forex (saham matawang). Pada mulanya aku sebagai isteri tidak menggalakkan dia,tapi bila mendengar penjelasannya aku terpaksa merelakannya walaupun terpaksa. Aku cuba mempertikaikan kehalalan forex itu,namun katanya dia telah menyelidiki dari segenap sudut. Begitu lah dia,kalau mahu melakukan sesuatu yang baru,dia pasti akan mengambil kira bab halal atau tidak.Balik dari kerja, aku akan terpaksa mendengar celotehnya tentang keuntungannya untuk hari itu. Walaupun aku 'kurang' berminat pada mulanya,tapi demi mengambil hatinya,maka aku tadahkan juga telingaku.Dalam hatiku,biarlah dia menceritakan keseronokannya. Setelah 3 hari dia bermain, dia menceritakan bahawa modalnya telah berjaya diraih kembali.

Alhamdulillah kataku.Namun aku masih cuba menasihatinya agar tidak terlalu ghairah dalam bidang ini kerana risikonya terlalu tinggi. Kita memang boleh meraih untung dalam beberapa saat sahaja,tetapi tidak mustahil juga kita akan menjadi muflis juga dalam beberapa saat.

Dan kata-kataku ini memang menjadi kenyataan. Setelah berjaya meraih modal kembali, suamiku menceritakan bahawa dia telah kehilangan semuanya,tetapi alhamdulillah,dia sempat mengeluarkan modal itu sebelum kesilapan tersebut terjadi. Kali ini dia masih ingin meneruskan perjuangannya kerana katanya dia ingin belajar dari kesilapan. Aku akan sentiasa memberi galakan kepadanya kerana ingin dia merealisasikan pelbagai impiannya kerana aku tahu bahawa segala impiannya itu adalah kerana dan untuk keluarga. Dan aku akan sentiasa berdoa untuk segala rezeki yang diperolehinya itu akan beroleh keberkatan. Semoga apa yang terjadi ini akan memberi pengajaran dan pedoman kepada kami berdua supaya lebih berhati2 dan bermusabah diri atas kesilapan lalu....amin...
