Hari Tanpa Tembakau 2012 kurang sambutan?

Rasa-rasanya? memang kurang sambutan pun.. Rata-rata rakan-rakan yang boleh dikategori sebagai perokok tegar tak tahu pun pasal hari ini.. Kalau dilihat di facebook, ucapan khas untuk hari tanpa tembakau ini hanya dilakukan dari seorang isteri kepada suaminya.. hahahaha...

Ada ke, dikalangan perokok tegar yang mampu kata.. sempena hari tanpa tembakau ni aku tak hisap rokok untuk sehari?? hahahaha.. cam susah nak jumpa kut..

Orang kata ataicha senang ler tak merokok... hahaha.. yup ataicha memang tak merokok... iya ke? dulu ada laa.. tapi social smoker je... kira ada rokok lebih hisap.. tu pun zaman rokok murah...

selalu kan orang kata kalau la orang hisap rokok tu simpan duit yang dia guna untuk rokok sure dah kaya... iya ke? kalau ikut calculation mmg la boleh, sekotak sehari sama dengan RM10 (anggaran laa erk) darab 30 hari... so RM300 sebulan setahun RM 3600, 10 tahun dah leh simpan RM36,000.. fuyoo... kalau ikut calculation nie.. memang terbaik.. cuma soalan cepumas yang tanya tu ada ke duit banyak nie.. hahahaha...

Sebenarnya, kalau tak dihabiskan untuk rokok.. duit tu ataicha rasa habis ke lain gak... tul tak?...

Dah terkeluar dari topik plak.. gini je.. kepada perokok tegar.. sempena hari tanpa tembakau yang diadakan setiap tahun pada 31 Julai... apa kata korang hormat kat orang-orang yang tak merokok.. sehari je bro... cuba test korang boleh tak hidup tanpa rokok??? Ala nanti korang kena stop smoking gak di siang hari pada bulan puasa... ke tak puasa?.. Fakta yang belum pasti erk.. ramai lelaki yang merokok, kalau tak makan tu no hal.. tapi kalau tak merokok... pusing satu kepala.. last-last ponteng puasa... alang-alang dah ponteng makan je la sekali... hahahhaa...

Bahayakan rokok.. sampai orang susah nak stop... kesihatan tu sure laa.. tapi itu hak individu... cuma harap perokok-perokok tegar hormat orang lain erk.. awak hisap rokok ada filter.. asap yang dihembus tu yang dihirup plak direct... so effect terbesar kat orang lain.. so tengok-tengok laa tempat korang nak hisap tui tak menganggu orang lain k...

Menggigil parang di dada

BUKIT BERUNTUNG: “Saya menggigil dan terpaksa menyerahkan barang kemas yang dipakai kepada penjenayah yang meletakkan parang panjang tajam pada dada,” kata Sharifah Rodhiah Syed Nong Chik, 47, menceritakan detik dia diragut ketika berjoging, awal pagi semalam.

Kejadian berlaku jam 7.10 pagi di Jalan Adenium 2G/4, Pusat Perniagaan Adenium, di sini, ketika mangsa bersama jirannya, Siti Norhasmida Abdullah, 64, berjoging di taman itu.


Katanya, enam lelaki berumur 20 hingga 30 tahun menunggang tiga motosikal memintas mereka.

“Mereka seperti mahu bertanya arah jalan, tetapi bertukar ganas dengan mengeluarkan parang dan tiga pisau rambo yang diletakkan pada dada saya sambil mengarahkan menyerah barang kemas dipakai.


“Saya panik dan amat takut ketika penjenayah mengarahkan saya tidak melawan kehendak mereka. Seorang daripada lelaki itu merentap gelang tangan dan rantai leher saya manakala rakannya mengepung saya,” katanya ketika ditemui, semalam.


Menurutnya, dia berjaya memujuk kumpulan penjenayah itu supaya tidak merampas beg tangannya yang mengandungi dua telefon bimbit dan wang RM15.

Katanya, penjenayah mengambil masa kurang dua minit menyamun barang kemas yang berharga RM5,000 itu.


“Rakan saya berlari ke rumah jiran berhampiran meminta pertolongan, tetapi sudah terlambat.

“Saya tidak menyangka aktiviti berjoging sejak lebih sebulan lalu dalam taman ini diperhatikan penjenayah,” katanya.


Sharifah Rodhiah berkata, sambil berlari pulang ke rumah dia menangis sekuat hati kerana ketakutan.


Katanya, dia menelefon suami, Mohd Kamaruddin Sangit, 55, yang berniaga di Bukit Antarabangsa di Hulu Klang ketika itu memaklumkan kejadian itu.


Beliau berkata, suaminya tiba di rumah jam 9 pagi membantu menenangkannya. Mangsa ditemani jirannya membuat laporan di Balai Bukit Sentosa pada jam 2 petang.

Kereta terperosok belakang treler

REMBAU: “Sebaik keluar, saya terkejut melihat sebuah kereta terperosok di belakang treler dipandu manakala pemandunya keluar menyelamatkan diri.

“Tanpa berfikir panjang, saya segera berlari ke arah tempat memandu untuk mengambil gas pemadam api tetapi gagal berikutan api semakin marak,” kata pemandu treler, Razi Jaafar, 47, yang terbabit kemalangan dengan sebuah kereta hingga menyebabkan kedua-dua kenderaan itu musnah terbakar di Kilometer 231.6, Lebuh raya Utara Selatan arah utara di sini, semalam.


Dalam kejadian jam 8.04 pagi itu, treler berkenaan dalam perjalanan dari Batu Pahat, Johor menuju Pulau Indah, Selangor membawa muatan lima kepala lori jenis Volvo.

Sejurus tiba di lokasi kejadian, Proton Wira dipandu seorang lelaki melanggar belakang treler itu menyebabkan berlaku kebakaran yang memusnahkan kedua-dua kenderaan berkenaan.


Bagaimanapun, kepala treler itu dapat diselamatkan selepas pemandunya meninggalkan badan treler itu.


Menceritakan detik cemas itu, Razi berkata, ketika kejadian, dia memandu di lorong paling kiri sebelum dikejutkan dengan dentuman kuat dari arah belakang.

“Bagi mendapatkan kepastian, saya segera memberhentikan kenderaan di lorong kecemasan dan mendapati sebuah kereta sudah terperosok selain api yang turut marak.


“Saya cuba memadam kebakaran, namun gagal. Bimbang keadaan bertambah buruk, saya meninggalkan badan lori dan memandu kepala lori sejauh 20 meter dari tempat kejadian sebelum menghubungi Bomba dan Penyelamat untuk meminta bantuan,” katanya ketika ditemui di tempat kejadian.

Dia yang baru memandu lori setahun lalu berkata, ini kali pertama terbabit kemalangan dan bersyukur kerana tidak mengalami sebarang kecederaan serius.


Sementara itu, Ketua Balai Bomba dan Penyelamat Daerah Rembau, Zamrus Zainal berkata, pihaknya bergegas ke lokasi kejadian termasuk dengan bantuan anggota Balai Bomba dan Penyelamat Senawang dan Alor Gajah, Melaka.


“Kita berjaya mengawal kebakaran dalam tempoh 10 minit dan pemeriksaan mendapati pemandu treler tidak mengalami kecederaan.

“Pada masa sama, warga emas itu juga mengalami kesulitan untuk berkomunikasi selain nyanyuk dan gagal memberikan maklumat berkaitan warisnya,” katanya di sini, semalam.

Job Interview Answer: What Was the Biggest Accomplishment in This Position?

By Alison Doyle, About.com Guide

Your potential employer will want to know what you accomplished, and what you didn't, in your current or last position.

The best way to respond is to give an example of something you accomplished that is directly related to the job you are interviewing for. Review your resume and review the job posting. Find the best match and use that to show how what you accomplished will be beneficial to the company you are interviewing with.

If you wrote a targeted cover letter when applying for the job use the information you included to create your response. For example, if you are interviewing for a job at a school where you will need to manage student registration, explain to the interviewer how you registered students for courses, designed and managed registration software, and solved customer problems.

If you didn't fail at anything, say so. If you can think of an example, be sure that it's a minor one and turn it into a positive. For example, if you were working on a project that was behind deadline, explain to the interviewer how you adjusted the workload and the timeline to get back on track and ahead of schedule.

Job Interview Answer: Describe Your Employment History

By Alison Doyle, About.com Guide

Interviewers expect a candidate for employment to be able to review their work history in detail. Be prepared to tell the interviewer the names of the companies you worked for, your job title, your starting and ending dates of employment, how much you earned and what your job entailed.

You'd be surprised how many job applicants fumble when asked about prior employment. Don't be one of them! Refresh your memory prior to the interview by reviewing your resume, so, you can speak about your prior work history in detail and accurately.

If you don't have a resume, make sure what you tell the interviewer matches what you filled out on your job application. The best way to prepare is to download a sample job application ahead of time. Complete the sample application and bring it with you when you are applying for employment. This way you will be able to copy the information rather than having to remember dates and other employment information.

Job Interview Answer: What Were Your Expectations for the Job?

By Alison Doyle, About.com Guide

In many cases, interviewers will want to know what you expected from your last job when you were hired, so, be be prepared to answer the interview question "What were your expectations for the job and to what extent were they met?"

There isn't a right or wrong answer to this question. The best way to respond is to discuss what you expected when you took the job and give examples of how the position worked out for you. If the job wasn't exactly what you expected, it's fine to mention that. However, you should focus on the job itself, not the company, your boss, or your co-workers (if they were a problem). Do be careful how you answer and don't focus too much on the negative. Instead, address the highlights of the job.

When responding, be specific. Prepare some examples to share with the interviewer in advance. For example, if your job involved creating web applications using Cold Fusion, discuss the specific programs you developed and the responsibilities you were given. If you were provided training and opportunities for professional development to help you achieve your goals, mention that, as well.

Job Interview Answer: When Was The Last Time You Were Angry? What Happened?

From Kay Stout, About.com Guest

When the interviewer asks "When Was The Last Time You Were Angry? What Happened?" he or she wants to know if you lose control. The real meaning of the word "angry", to an interviewer, is loss of control and it's important to know how you handle situations when you're angry.

Best Answer

Anger to me means loss of control. I do not lose control. When I get stressed, I step back, take a deep breath, thoughtfully think through the situation and then begin to formulate a plan of action.
