Another memorable song, called "Sepohon kayu". Do you know that a lot of good things should be taught while they are in semi-conscious state, a stage just before they asleep. This is just one way how to build a strong base for a good muslim, as early as 3-4 years old. Why 3-4 years old? Because this is the stage where they are still not utilizing their full conscious mind capabilities and , and semi-conscious mind proven to be more effective in parenting your child. Sorry I could not find and reference to this, but I have read it somewhere. Well, its our children and it's up to us how to raise them, and for a moslem, there are clear guidelines to follow, God willing. "Anak-anak dilahirkan untuk berjaya, janganlah kita(ibubapa) menggagalkan mereka" - Datuk Dr Fadzilah Kamsah
Sepohon kayu, daunnya rimbun
Lebat bunganya serta buahnya
Walaupun hidup seribu tahun
Kalau tak sembahyang apa gunanya
Kami bekerja sehari-hari
Untuk belanja rumah sendiri
Walaupun hidup seribu tahun
Kalau tak sembahyang apa gunanya
Kami sembahyang fardu sembahyang
Sunatpun ada bukan sembarang
Supaya Allah menjadi sayang
Kami bekerja hatilah riang
Kami sembahyang limalah waktu
Siang dan malam sudahlah tentu
Hidup dikubur yatim piatu
Tinggalah seorang dipukul dipalu
Dipukul dipalu sehari-hari
Barulah dia sedarkan diri
Hidup didunia tiada berarti
Akhirat disana sangatlah rugi

Bedtime song - Sepohon kayu
Bedtime song - Di pondok kecil
Here's one of my favorite bedtime song for my children, called "Di pondok kecil". Make sure you control the pitch, otherwise, you might give your children a nightmare instead.
dipondok kecil di pantai ombak
berbuih putih beralun-alun
disuatu hari ayah berkata
jaga adik mu ayahkan pergi jauh
ku pandang wajah ayah dahinya ku cium
air mata mengalir hatiku pilu
diam-diamlah sayang jangan menangis
doakan ayah semoga diterima
diam adik ku sayang jangan menangis
andai ayah gugur doakan dia syahid
selamat berjuangan ayah tercinta
kau pergi dulu ayah ke medan juang
ku iringi doa moga berjaya
beroleh kemenangan demi agama Islam
wahai abang ku kemana
ayah ku sayang ayah ku cinta ayah 2x
duhai adik ku sayang jangan bersedih
ayah mu pergi menyambut seruan Ilahi
tapi ingatlah adik ku pesanan ayah
berjuangan dan berkorban walau dimana jua
pada Mu Tuhan aku bermohon
dosa ayah ku minta diampunkan
berilah rahmat bantulah dia
untuk menegakkan agama Islam

EOT
Internet access, linux not ok, windows ok, *bsd ok
So what seemed to be a problem? Recently, within our network segment, guarded by pf firewall, somehow linux(redhat,fedora,*buntu) found difficulty in accessing the internet. Either the page is half loaded, or did not come out at all. It is not the browser; same result using wget. Obviously it is not the network; since XP and *BSD can go out. So, I suspect the pf is the mole. But since the pf owner is not around, and IT department could not be much of a help unless the problem affecting their segment, nothing much can be done. Plus I'm half system admin I used to be, too lazy to trace out the root cause now. Btw, here's the definition of problem based on ITIL concept(taken from wikipedia):
- A problem is a condition often identified as a result of multiple Incidents that exhibit common symptoms. Problems can also be identified from a single significant Incident, indicative of a single error, for which the cause is unknown, but for which the impact is significant.
- A known error is a condition identified by successful diagnosis of the root cause of a problem, and the subsequent development of a Work-around.
