Majalah Laman Impiana - Oasis Pembaca

'Ma, ada hantar gambar ke Laman ke?' Begitulah ungkapan anak sambil membelek majalah Laman Impiana terbaru, keluaran Karangkraf.

'Ada,' balasku sambil meneruskan pemanduan ke arah Pajam. 'Dah keluar ke?' tanya ku lagi ingin tahu.

'Ha..ah...dahh... Eh, mama letak nama ayah sekali ye?' tanya Mar lagi.

Begitulah serba sedikit perbualan ibu-anak. Gambar laman dan sikit penerangan telah dihantar hujung Jan 09 ke pihak majalah. Tak sangka begitu cepat diterbitkan. Memang seronok bila artikel atau sebagainya di'print'kan. Lebih lagi bila teringatkan waktu jadi 'freelance writer' sedikit masa dahulu. (PS. Those who need writing services, do contact me!)

Yang berminat, silalah ke m/s 12, majalah Laman Impiana, Edisi Bumper, Mac-Apr 2009. Bukan apa, cuma berkongsi kegembiraan.... Mungkin satu hari, pembaca lain pun dapat berbuat demikian, insyaAllah.

Technology - Boon or Bane?

ICT was brought to my doorstep about 13 years ago to facilitate the admin work at school. I embraced it with enthusiasm after finding how it really helps to expedite things, both at work and home.
Next in line was the handphone. I got mine, a Nokia. Never mind, it was a hand-me-down, but it brought me the convenience of getting connected to others. A digital camera makes it easier for me to snapped pictures and having them posted on the Net and share with others.
Ahh... technology, a God-send tool....
God, the Creator, creates beautiful things. But, alas, human beings are known for destroying the beauty of things themselves. Where are our moral standard when we use the tech for purposes out of the norms? We are getting more into justifying our ends rather than the ways used. Are we not sensitive to the need of personal space or privacy among us? Is this the so-called civilised society that we are promoting in line with Vision 2020?
Blaming technology is not the answer. We need to move forward. Do some soul searching and you'll find the answer within yourself.

Alhamdulillah!

It was my birthday yesterday. Got wishes from family and a surprise gift from my daughters. I'm thankful to HIM for giving me the chance to be in this world. And at this age, you'll see life from a different perspective. For the better, I hope.
