grant story I

Booked my flight ticket to NYC yesterday. EDT : 9.20 a.m. , 11 August 2005. Taking my leave starting tomorrow until this weekend in order to settle the grant thingy. Nak buat medical check-up, sahkan surat perjanjian, mati setem, etc. Ah reminded me of the time when I did my scholarship agreement many years ago.

The grant will cover my airfare, tuition fees and small stipends. They won't cover my travel cost while travelling from NYC to Maine. I am letting go the fund assistance from my organisation. Malas nak guna duit derma orang ramai for cancer. Raising funds for cancer, I know how important it is funds to be channeled to the deserving patients. And personally, I am not comfortable to be "bonded" for several years for the assistance.

So now I got to get another USD500 (RM2000) to cover the travel cost before my departure day. Already asked around for help. Told my dad recently that I won't be able to pay for the his car loan installment for this month. He nodded and said, " we will find our way". Sad jugak dengar. Nak buat camno. Mak told me not to worry.

On the other hand, rezeki murah juga. Avner & Julie invited me to stay over for 1-2 days to get over the jet lag at their place in Peaks Island, Maine, before the course starts. Therefore boleh lah save a little bit of money there and the plus point is I would be able to get up-close and personal with the one of the world's leading teachers of physical comedy at his own retreat. Banyak boleh belajar nanti. (And I can jog around the 2 miles-long trek on the island in the morning, too.)

tandas masjid

Chatted with kakteh not so long time ago about this. somehow forgotten about it until reading anedra's blog today. One thing that really pissed me off - filthy toilets in the mosques around the country. Travelling around the country recently gave me the perfect glimpse of the condition of the toilets in the mosques, surau or madrasah from Perlis to Johor.

I simply can't understand while we preached to 'mengimarah' the masjid, asking people to berduyun-duyun datang bersolat berjemaah, yet at the same time we forget the very simple task of looking after the cleanliness of the toilets in the holy places like this. Susah sangat ke nak cuci tandas tiap tiap hari? Berapa minit nak ambil? busy sangat ka?

I dropped by at a mosque near Kubang Rotan, Kedah during my recent trip to Kedah( no discount - i will reveal the mosque that comes last in the list) wanting to use the toilet and as I walked toward the men's toilet, the overpowering smells just had made me to walk away. Same goes to that small masjid in Kuala Linggi, Melaka. Tak berjaga! Kenapa?

Looking into my own backyard, I prayed jumaat once in a small mosque in Kg Kerambit, and noticed how the carpet in the prayer hall was peppered with that tiny black white top missiles ( tahi cicak). Hallo? No need to go further to the toilet's condition if the floor is dirty, right?

I am so disgusted really. Nak blame sapa ya? Jawatankuasa masjid? makmum? imam? bilal? Ntahlah.

I pondered. How can we want the young people or just people to embrace the mosque if the mosque itself does not shine the lights of purity? We should be ashamed with ourselves.

Perhaps now. I feel that to go to the mosque is becoming ritualistic rather than to nurture the concept of wholeness of life.

Oh by the way, dont' despair...there still clean toilets you can find in many mosque. Try pi masjid Putrajaya....nice..
