Bukan Kerja Kita Promosi Keaiban

Perundangan Islam diturunkan bukan untuk menghukum. Namun untuk mendidik. Disebabkan itulah Islam amat menitik beratkan perlindungan terhadap insan yang menemui pintu taubat. Dalam Islam, keaiban manusia bukanlah dianggap sesuatu yang perlu diketengahkan. Malah ianya ditutup serapat yang mungkin kerana itulah sifat rahmat Allah SWT. Setiap orang mempunyai keaiban dan tidak ada seorang pun yang terlepas dari melakukan kesalahan.

Firman Allah SWT yang bermaksud : Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang ingin agar (berita) perbuatan yang amat keji itu tersiar di kalangan orang-orang yang beriman, bagi mereka azab yang pedih di dunia dan di akhirat. Dan Allah mengetahui, sedang, kamu tidak mengetahui.” (Surah An-Nuur: 19)

Ini bertepatan dengan hadis Nabi SAW :

Rasulullah SAW bersabda, “Setiap daripada kamu adalah orang yang berbuat salah, dan sebaik-baik orang yang berbuat salah adalah orang yang bertaubat.”( HR Ahmad)

Setiap manusia tidak terlepas dari keaiban. Samada diketahui oleh orang lain mahupun menjadi rahsia diri sendiri. Namun, Allah itu berkuasa menutup keaiban hamba-hambaNya. Ia juga berkuasa membukanya.

Sabda Rasulullah SAW yang bermaksud: “Barang siapa menutup aib seseorang Islam, maka Allah akan tutupkan aibnya di dunia dan di akhirat. (Hadis riwayat at-Tirmidzi)

Segala maksiat manusia disekeliling kita perlulah dicegah. Kita membenci segala perbuatan maksiat. Namun kita tidak membenci orang yang melakukan maksiat tersebut. Apatah lagi melaknat orang tersebut. Ini kerana Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama‘ah, dalam menghadapi sesuatu kemungkaran membezakan antara perbuatan dan si pembuat. Diterangkan bahawa perbuatan tersebut adalah salah supaya pembuatnya berhenti dan ia tidak diikuti oleh orang ramai. Ada pun terhadap pembuatnya, Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama‘ah menangguhkan sebarang hukuman sehingga diperhatikan tiga syarat berikut:

Ditegakkan hujah kepadanya, iaitu mengemukakan dalil dan hujah bahawa apa yang dilakukan adalah satu kemungkaran. Kemudian dibersihkan salah fahamnya, iaitu dalil dan hujah tersebut diberi dalam bentuk penerangan yang jelas bagi membersihkan apa-apa kekeliruan yang mungkin dihadapi olehnya apabila melakukan kemungkaran tersebut. Akhirnya Islam mempertimbangkan sama ada dia melakukan kemungkaran tersebut dalam suasana sedar dan  rela, atau dalam suasana terpaksa, tersilap atau tidak mampu untuk mengelaknya.

Demikian sikap hati-hati Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama‘ah dalam membezakan antara perbuatan dan pembuat.

‘Umar al-Khaththab RA menerangkan bahawa pada zaman Rasulullah SAW terdapat seorang lelaki yang bernama ‘Abd Allah. Dia lazim (berjenaka) sehingga membuat Rasulullah SAW tertawa. Nabi SAW pernah merotannya (sebagai hukum hudud) kerana kesalahan minum arak.

Pada satu hari dia dibawa menghadap baginda atas kesalahan yang sama, lalu dikenakan hukuman rotan. Melihat yang sedemikian berkata seorang lelaki: “Ya Allah! Laknatlah dia! Betapa banyak kali dia telah dibawa menghadap Rasulullah atas kesalahan yang sama!” Namun Nabi SAW menjawab:

Jangan melaknatnya! Demi Allah! Aku tidak tahu bila ternyata dia mengasihi Allah dan Rasul-Nya. (Sahih: Dikeluarkan oleh al-Bukhari dalam Shahihnya, hadis no: 6780 (Kitab al-Hudud, Bab berkenaan membenci laknat kepada orang yang minum).

Berlaku beberapa kes dalam zaman Nabi SAW yang menunjukkan bahawa Islam bukan semata-mata untuk menghukum. Namun ia juga sebagai produk dalam mendidik jiwa. Manusia yang paling arif berkenaan hukum Allah SWT iaitu Nabi SAW. Namun terdapat kisah bagaimana proses berlakunya pelaksanaan hukum hudud yang melalui proses menutup keaiban terlebih dahulu.

Hadits dari Nu’aim bin Hazzal : “Ma’iz bin Malik adalah seorang yatim dibawah asuhan bapakku. Lalu dia berzina dengan seorang budak dari suku itu. Maka bapakku berkata kepadanya, “Pergilah kepada Rasulullah SAW, lalu beritahulah kepada baginda apa yang telah engkau lakukan. Semoga beliau memohonkan ampun untukmu”.Bapakku menghendaki hal itu karena berharap Ma’iz mendapat penyelesaian.

Maka Ma’iz mendatangi Rasulullah SAW dan berkata, “Wahai Rasulullah sesungguhnya aku telah berzina. Maka tegakkanlah kitab Allah atasku”. Lalu baginda Nabi SAW berpaling darinya. Kemudian Ma’iz mengulangi dan berkata, “Wahai Rasulullah sesungguhnya aku telah berzina. Maka tegakkanlah kitab Allah atasku”. Maka baginda berpaling darinya. Kemudian Ma’iz mengulangi dan berkata, “Wahai Rasulullah sesungguhnya aku telah berzina. Maka tegakkanlah kitab Allah atasku”. Sampai dia mengulanginya empat kali.

Rasulullah SAW bersabda, “Engkau telah mengatakannya empat kali. Lalu dengan siapa ?. Dia menjawab, “Dengan si Fulanah”. Lalu beliau bersabda, “Apakah engkau berbaring dengannya?”. Dia menjawab, “Ya”. Lalu beliau bersabda, “apakah engkau menyentuh kulitnya?”. Dia menjawab, “Ya”. Lalu beliau bersabda, “Apakah engkau bersetubuh dengannya?”. Dia menjawab, “Ya”. Maka Rasulullah SAW memerintahkan untuk

merejamnya. Kemudian dia dibawa keluar ke Harrah (Nama tempat di luar kota Madinah). Tatkala dia direjam, lalu merasakan lemparan batu. Dia berkeluh kesah, lalu dia keluar dan melarikan diri. Maka Abdullah bin Unais mengekorinya. Sedangkan sahabat-sahabatnya yang lain telah lelah. Kemudian Abdullah mengambil tulang betis unta, lalu melemparkannya, sehingga dia membunuhnya. Lalu dia mendatangi Rasulullah SAW dan menceritakannya kepada baginda. Maka beliau bersabda, “Tidakkah kamu membiarkannya, kemungkinan dia bertaubat, lalu Allah menerima taubatnya!” (kisah lengkap pada Sahih Muslim no.4206)

Menurut Syeikh Islam Ibn Taimiyyah, Nabi SAW sebenarnya sedang  berusaha agar hukuman rejam ke atas Ma’iz itu tidak berlaku. (Majmu Fatawa 16/31) Ini menunjukkan kepada kita bahawa banyak ruang yang boleh ditutup keaiban tersebut, maka hendaklah kita menutupnya. Disebabkan kita sendiri yang membukanya, maka berlakulah pengadilan Allah SWT terhadap hambaNya.

Sabda Rasulullah SAW : Jauhilah perkara-perkara keji yang telah dilarang oleh Allah. sesiapa yang telah melakukannya, hendaklah dia menutupinya dengan tutupan Allah dan bertaubat kepada Allah. Ini kerana jika sesiapa menampakkan perkara keji (yang dilakukannya) kepada kami, kami akan menjatuhkan hukuman yang telah diperintahkan oleh Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. (Dikeluarkan oleh al-Hakim dalam al-Mustadrak, hadis no: 7615 dan beliau berkata: “Hadis ini sahih atas syarat kedua-dua syaikh (al-Bukhari dan Muslim) dan mereka tidak mengeluarkannya.” Ini dipersetujui oleh al-Zahabi.)

Maksiat itu bukanlah suatu yang perlu dipromosikan. Ini kerana jika ianya sering dicanang merata maka ianya menjadi suatu kebiasaan. Maksiat itu ada bezanya. Ada maksiat secara tertutup dan ada juga maksiat secara terbuka. Maksiat secara tertutup perlulah ditutup serapatnya. Namun maksiat secara terbuka perlulah digerakkan tindakan dalam mencegahnya. Kita bimbang apabila maksiat itu dianggap biasa, maka ianya sebenarnya sedang memanggil azab Allah. Maksiat secara terbuka adalah satu dosa purba dahulu kala yang sudah dimodenkan.

Kisah kehancuran kaum Nabi Lut AS dirakamkan di dalam surah al-Ankabut ayat 29 maksudnya : Adakah patut bagi kamu mendatangi lelaki ( homoseksual) dan menyamun di jalan raya dan kamu membuat kemungkaran di tempat-tempat pertemuan kamu. Maka tidaklah ada jawapan kaumnya melainkan bahawa mereka berkata : Datanglah kepada kami azab Allah itu, jika sungguh engkau dari orang-orang yang benar.

Al-Isfahani di dalam kitab al-Mufradat fi Gharib al-Quran menceritakan bahawa maksud perkataan ‘naadiy’ dalam ayat ini adalah tempat manusia berkumpul. Iaitu mereka kaum Nabi Luth melakukan maksiat di tempat secara terbuka.

Manakala Imam Ibnu Kathir dalam tafsirnya mengatakan bahawa : “Kaum Luth melakukan maksiat dan berbicara sesuatu yang tidak wajar di tempat pertemuan mereka yang mana mereka berkumpul disitu dan langsung tidak mengingkari perbuatan mungkar antara satu sama lain.

Kisah Nabi Luth ini menggambarkan kepada kita, sekiranya suatu maksiat itu dianggap ‘biasa’ maka ianya sama seperti kita mencabar Allah SWT untuk menurunkan azabnya.

Kesimpulannya disini, maksiat secara terangan dan terbuka perlu kita cegah dan bukan dipromosikan. Walaupun terdapat sebahagian pendapat yang membenarkan kita mengumpat si pelaku maksiat secara terbuka, namun ianya masih atas dasar bukan menghukum. Tetapi mencari titik proses didikan. Perbuatan maksiat perlu dibezakan dengan si pembuat maksiat. Namun sekiranya maksiat itu suatu yang tersembunyi maka menutupnya adalah lebih baik. Kepada pelaku maksiat, sekiranya terdapat sejarah kisah dosa lama sewaktu muda, maka kepada Allah kita memohon keampunan. Dan sembunyikan kisah itu dari habuan telinga manusia.

Diriwayatkan dari Abu Hurairah RA ia berkata, “Aku pernah mendengar Rasulullah SAW bersabda: “Seluruh umatku akan diampuni dosa-dosa kecuali orang-orang yang terang-terangan (berbuat dosa). Di antara orang-orang yang terang-terangan berbuat dosa adalah seseorang yang pada waktu malam berbuat dosa, kemudian di waktu pagi ia menceritakan kepada manusia dosa yang dia lakukan semalam, padahal Allah telah menutupi aibnya. Ia berkata, “Wahai fulan, semalam aku berbuat ini dan itu”. Sebenarnya pada waktu malam Tuhannya telah menutupi perbuatannya itu, tetapi justru pagi harinya ia membuka aibnya sendiri yang telah ditutupi oleh Allah.” (Muttafaq ‘alaih HR Bukhari dan Muslim).

Duhai Anakku Nauwal… =)

Thursday Mar 24, 2011

Cerita 1:

Pagi ni masa tengah bancuh susu for breakfast, tiba2 dengaq Nauwal menjerit dan menangis dalam bilik. Dia kata:

“Keluaq keluaq keluaq cepat!!!! Keluaq laaaaa!!!”
Loghat Kedah ye anak I..

Saya nervous sangat2.. Apa benda pulak ni..

Saya pon lari masuk bilik. Tengok2…

La, seluaq dia tak tercabut… Dia nak mandi, saya suruh buka baju dan seluar sendiri sebab saya nak pi siap air suam dalam bilik mandi nak mandikan dia dan saya nak bancuh susu pulak lagi.
Seluar tu dia dah londeh, tapi sangkut kat kaki dia, ujung tu kan ketat sikit, so tergolek2 la kwan time nak cabut tu. Dari berdiri sampai duduk sampai baring tak tercabut jugak…
Sian anak ibu…

Tapi nampak la yang dia rasa diri dia besaq dah. Nak pakai baju sendiri, buka sendiri, nak tolong berus lantai, nak tolong masak, nak basuk pinggan, tolong angkat beg plastik shopping. Semua nak tolong… Alhamdulillah…
Semoga kamu menjadi anak yang solehah anakku… Yang membantu ibu dan Abi dalam urusan dunia dan akhirat.

Cerita 2:
Sabtu lepas time Abang sapu sampah di luar rumah, saya dan Nauwal jalan2 sambil tengok kucing. Miki kucing Cik Na pon ada. Nauwal hulur muka nak cium Miki. Miki nak cakar muka dia. Saya tepis, tapi Miki gigit tangan saya. Serta merta bengkak.
Saya dukung Nauwal bawak balik rumah dan lari cuci tempat luka dengan sabun dan letak minyak gamat. Nervous saya dan Abang sebab kucing ada bakteria taxoplasma yang boleh beri kesan pada bayi dalam kandungan. Nauzubillah…

Malamnya selepas maghrib, saya ajak abang ke klinik. Dr Hafizah yang baik tu kasik antibiotik, ubat sapu dan ubat demam. Katanya nasib baik cepat datang. Risau juga untuk baby dalam perut ni.

Alhamdulillah saya tak demam. Cuma tangan berdenyut2 dan lebam.

Takpalah ibu sakit pon Nauwal, hanya janganlah hingga kucing itu melukakan dirimu… Demi Nauwal, ibu rela..

Cerita 3:

Hati saya sedih bila bermain2 dengan anak sebab time2 tumbesaran macam ni, Abinya tak de nak main sama2.. Tiba2 air mata meleleh…

Nauwal berhenti main, datang peluk saya.
“Nauwal big hug ibu. Ibu nangis? Sian ibu. Nauwal big hug ibu, ok?”

Ok sayang, pelukan mu buatkan ibu lega.. Terima Kasih… Mujhe tumse mohabbat pyar karte hai…

Ibu janji usaha kuat agar kita dapat tinggal bersama Abi. Supaya Nauwal dan adik2 mendapat kasih sayang seorang ayah dan didikan dunia akhirat yang lebih sempurna.

Permudahkanlah Ya ALLAH… Kau Saksikanlah hambaMU ini telah berusaha…

Age-by-age guide to feeding your toddler

Wednesday Mar 16, 2011

Use this guide to find out what and how much to feed your child from age 12 to 36 months. (See our baby article for guidance on feeding children under 12 months.) Don’t worry if your child eats more or less than the amounts listed — they’re only meant as rough guidelines.
Age: 12 to 18 months

Signs of readiness for self-feeding

* Can start to use a spoon himself (though proficiency will take a while!)

What to feed

* Whole milk
* Other dairy (soft pasteurized cheese, full-fat yogurt and cottage cheese)
* Same food as family, mashed or chopped into bite-size pieces
* Iron-fortified cereals (rice, barley, wheat, oats, mixed cereals)
* Other grains (whole wheat bread, pasta, rice)
* New fruits: melon, papaya, apricot, grapefruit (citrus is now okay)
* New vegetables: broccoli and cauliflower “trees”
* Protein (eggs; cut-up or ground meat, poultry, boneless fish; tofu; beans; thinly spread smooth peanut butter)
* Citrus and non-citrus juice
* Honey is now okay

How much per day

* 2 to 3 servings dairy (1 serving = 1 cup milk, ½ to 1 oz. cheese, 1/3 to ½ cup yogurt or cottage cheese)
* 4 to 6 servings cereals and other grains (1 serving = ¼ to 1/3 cup cereal, ¼ cup pasta or rice, ¼ to ½ slice bread or bagel)
* ¼ to ½ cup fruit
* ¼ to ½ cup vegetables
* 2 servings protein (1 serving = 2 tablespoons ground or two 1-inch cubes meat, poultry, or fish; 1 egg; ¼ cup tofu or cooked beans; 1 tablespoon smooth peanut butter)
* 3 to 4 oz. juice

Feeding tips

* Introduce new foods one at a time, with at least three days in between to make sure your child’s not allergic.
* Choking hazards are still a danger. Learn more about foods to watch out for.

Age: 18 to 24 months

Feeding skills to look for

* Self-feeding
* Food phrases like “more” and “all done”

What to feed

* Whole milk
* Other dairy (natural hard cheese, soft pasteurized cheese, full-fat yogurt and cottage cheese, pudding)
* Iron-fortified cereals (rice, barley, wheat, oat, mixed cereals)
* Other grains (whole wheat bread and crackers, cut-up bagels, pretzels, rice cakes, ready-to-eat cereals, pasta, rice)
* Fruit, cooked, canned or fresh, cut up or sliced (apples, bananas, peaches, strawberries, pears, cherries, grapes, plums, oranges, grapefruit)
* Dried fruit, soaked until soft so it won’t pose a choking hazard (apples, apricots, peaches, pears, dates, pitted prunes, raisins)
* Vegetables, cooked and mashed or diced (carrots, green beans, cauliflower, broccoli, yams, potatoes, peas)
* Protein (eggs; cut-up or ground meat, poultry, boneless fish; tofu; beans; smooth peanut butter)
* Combo foods like macaroni and cheese, casseroles
* Fruit and vegetable juices

How much per day

* 2 to 3 servings dairy (1 serving = ½ cup milk; ½ to 1 oz. cheese; 1/3 to ½ cup yogurt or cottage cheese; ¼ cup pudding)
* 6 servings grains (1 serving = ¼ to ½ slice bread or bagel; 1 or 2 crackers; ¼ cup pasta or rice; 1/3 to ½ cup cooked or ready-to-eat cereal)
* 2 to 3 servings fruit (1 serving = ¼ cup cooked or canned, ½ piece fresh; 1/8 cup dried; ¼ to ½ cup juice)
* 2 to 3 servings vegetables (1 serving = 1 to 2 tablespoons)
* 2 servings protein (1 serving = 2 tablespoons ground or two 1-inch cubes meat, poultry, or fish; 1 egg; ¼ cup tofu or cooked beans; 1 tablespoon smooth peanut butter)

Feeding tips

* Introduce new foods one at a time, with at least three days in between to make sure your child’s not allergic.
* Choking hazards are still a danger. Learn more about foods to watch out for.

Age: 24 to 36 months

Feeding skills to look for

* Self-feeding
* Eagerness to make own food choices

What to feed

* Low-fat milk
* Other dairy (diced or grated cheese; low-fat yogurt, cottage cheese, pudding)
* Iron-fortified cereals (rice, barley, wheat, oats, mixed cereals)
* Other grains (whole wheat bread and crackers, cut-up bagels, pretzels, rice cakes, ready-to-eat cereal, pasta, rice)
* Fruits, sliced fresh or canned
* Dried fruit, soaked until soft so it won’t pose a choking hazard (apples, apricots, peaches, pears, dates, pitted prunes, raisins)
* Vegetables, cooked and cut up
* Protein (eggs; cut-up or ground meat, poultry, boneless fish; tofu; beans; smooth peanut butter)
* Combo foods like macaroni and cheese, casseroles
* Fruit and vegetable juices

How much per day

One serving for a child this age is about ¼ the size of an adult serving.

* 2 to 3 servings dairy (1 serving = ½ cup milk; ½ to ¾ oz. cheese; ½ cup yogurt; ¼ to ¼ cup cottage cheese; ¼ cup pudding)
* 6 servings grains (1 serving = ½ slice bread or bagel; 1 or 2 crackers; ¼ to ½ cup pasta or rice; 1/3 to ½ cup cooked or ready-to-eat cereal)
* 2 to 3 servings fruit (1 serving = ¼ cup cooked or canned, ½ piece fresh, or ¼ to ½ cup juice)
* 2 to 3 servings vegetables (1 serving = 2 to 3 tablespoons)
* 2 servings protein (1 serving = 2 tablespoons ground or two 1-inch cubes meat, poultry, or fish; 1 egg; ¼ cup tofu or cooked beans; 1 tablespoon peanut butter)

Feeding tips

* Introduce new foods one at a time, with at least three days in between to make sure your child’s not allergic.
* Choking hazards are still a danger. Learn more about foods to watch out for.

Your child may seem to eat less than before — that’s perfectly normal at this stage. If you wonder whether he’s getting enough calories, use this guideline: The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that your child get about 40 calories a day for every inch of height.


Boleh ke Rakyat Malaysia jadi gini?

Tuesday Mar 15, 2011

Japanese people have been very open on Twitter about their experiences following the quake.  These snippets of what moved them and touched them during these very trying times are heart-warming.  I have attempted a rough translation on some of them so that you can have a read.

Please continue to pray for the people in Japan.

I hope these mini-stories will bring strength and encouragement to my friends and family in Japan by letting them know that, not only does the world sympathize with them, it looks up to them in admiration!  My thoughts are with you.

At Tokyo Disneyland:

Tokyo Disneyland was handing out its shops’ food and drinks for free to the stranded people nearby.  I saw a bunch of snobby looking highschool girls walking away with large portions of it and initially though “What the …”  But I later I found out they were taking them to the families with little children at emergency evacuation areas.  Very perceptive of them, and a very kind thing to do indeed.

Message from the UN

Secretary General Ban Ki Moon: “Japan is one of (the UN’s) most generous and strongest benefactors, coming to the assistance of those in need the world over.  In that spirit, the United Nations stands by the people of Japan and we will do anything and everything we can at this very difficult time.”  I was moved at his words.  What better example that good things happen to those who do good.

At a congested downtown intersection …

Cars were moving at the rate of maybe one every green light, but everyone was letting each other go first with a warm look and a smile.  At a complicated intersection, the traffic was at a complete standstill for 5 minutes, but I listened for 10 minutes and didn’t hear a single beep or honk except for an occasional one thanking someone for giving way.  It was a terrifying day, but scenes like this warmed me and made me love my country even more.

During the earthquake

We’ve all been trained to immediately open the doors and establish an escape route when there is an earthquake.  In the middle of the quake while the building was shaking crazily and things falling everywhere, a man made his way to the entrance and held it open.  Honestly, the chandelier could have crashed down any minute … that was a brave man!

Bus stop mini episode:

It was freezing and bus was taking ages to arrive.  “@saiso” left the queue to run to a nearby pharmacy.  He bought heating pads and gave one to everyone in the queue!

Thank you Tokyo Disney Sea

My daughter who was staying at DisneySea just made it back home!  Many, many thanks to the staff who worked very hard in the cold with ready smiles that made her to feel safe and secure during the entire night.  They brought her food, drinks, snacks, heating pads, and anything necessary to ensure she was comfortable and secure throughout her stay.  I was touched by the Disney staff’s warmth and hospitality.  Thank you so much!

Reminded of the goodness of the Japanese people

This earthquake has reminded me of that Japanese goodness that had recently become harder and harder to see.  Today I see no crime or looting: I am reminded once again of the good Japanese spirit of helping one another, of propriety, and of gentleness.  I had recently begun to regard my modern countrymen as cold people … but this earthquake has revived and given back to all of us the spirit of “kizuna” (bond, trust, sharing, the human connection).  I am very touched.  I am brought to tears.

Card board boxes, Thank you!

It was cold and I was getting very weary waiting forever for the train to come.  Some homeless people saw me, gave me some of their own cardboard boxes and saying “you’ll be warmer if you sit on these!”  I have always walked by homeless people pretending I didn’t see them, and yet here they were offering me warmth.  Such warm people.

What foreigners are saying about Japanese people

At a supermarket where everything was scattered everywhere over the floors, shoppers were helping pick them up and putting them back neatly on the shelves before quietly moving into line to wait to pay for them.  On the totally jam-packed first train after the quake, an elderly man gave up his seat for a pregnant woman.  Foreigners have told me they are amazed witnessing sights like these.  I do believe they actually saw what they said they saw.  Japan is truly amazing.

Information network this time around

The information sharing efforts on Twitter or USTREAM, together with the quality of coverage and crucial updates provided by the mass media this time around is incomparable to what we got during the Kobe earthquake.  I am deeply impressed by Japan’s successful efforts and ability to put to practice lessons learnt from past tragedies.


http://twitter.com/izumi823/statuses/46387948681297920

Touch of art

I saw artists and painters trying to keep things upbeat by painting or drawing beautiful or encouraging drawings for the evacuees around them.  I was touched at how everyone was doing their very best to help.

* BBC???

BBC Reports

The words of BBC’s reports are so moving they make me cry.  They were praising us with words of admiration!  “One of the worst earthquakes in recorded history has hit the world’s most well-prepared, well-trained nations.  The strength of its government and its people are put to the test.  While there have been casualties, in no other country could the government and the people have worked together in such an accurate and coordinated way in the face of such tragedy.  The Japanese people have shown their cultural ability to remain calm in the face of adversity.”

A little story about Papa

We live in an area that was not directly hit.  When my father came downstairs and heard the news saying that our area had begun allocating electricity to the hard-hit areas, he quietly led by example, turning off the power around the house and pulling the plugs out of their sockets.  I was touched.  He usually NEVER turns off the lights or the AC or the TV or anything!


http://twitter.com/HASUNA_Natsuko/status/46331839136276480


Japanese people don’t shove

I’m looking at Yurakucho station from above.  I see people standing in line, not pushing or shoving to get onto the Yamanote Line (probably the busiest line in central Tokyo), even at a time like this!

The bakery lady

There was a small bread shop on the street I take to go to school.  It has long been out of business.  But last night, I saw the old lady of the shop giving people her handmade bread for free.  It was a heart-warming sight.  She, like everyone else, was doing what she could to help people in a time of need.  Tokyo isn’t that bad afterall!


http://twitter.com/tksksks/statuses/46403815397801984

Japan is a wonderful nation!

Both the government and the people, everyone is helping one another today.  There are truck drivers helping evacuees move.  I even heard that the “yakuza” (gangsters, organized crime groups) are helping to direct traffic in the Tohoku region!  There have been many recent developments that have made me lose my sense of pride in my country, but not anymore.  Japan is an amazing place!  I’m just simply touched.  Go Japan!

* twitter???

http://twitter.com/bobiko009/statuses/46403721046933504

Twitter is amazing!

The information shared to us all by the twitter community has been amazingly consistent with each other and has been so helpful.  Thank you Twitterers!  I’m very moved. People recently talk about social networks replacing traditional social life and making people cold and unsociable in real life.  But … I guess that’s not true at all.

From a German friend

A German friend of mine was in Shibuya (downtown Tokyo shopping district) when the earthquake hit.  He was panicking when a Japanese passerby saved him, taking him into a building.  My friend was blown away at how calm and disciplined this Japanese man was.  He went out of the building with firm, unfaltering steps, did everything he was trained to do and came back.  My German friend was deeply impressed by the Japanese people’s actions during the earthquake, saying they looked like a trained army.

At the supermarket

I just came back safely from the supermarket!  Man, I was so touched at how everyone there was mindful of others, buying only as much as they needed and leaving the rest for the people behind them.

Gotenba traffic

Japan is really something!  Yesterday, not a single traffic light was functioning in Gotenba City.  But drivers knew to take turns at intersections and give way to others when needed.  Local people were using flags to direct traffic at intersections.  I drove for 9 hours but never saw a single car trying to get in front of another.  Every single driver on the road contributed to the traffic situation and as a result there was no confusion at all.


http://twitter.com/n_yum/statuses/46388003706380288

“All of us”

I spoke with an old taxi driver and some elderly staff at the train stations.  All of them had been working non-stop and had not been able to go home for a long time.  They were visibly very tired, but never once did they show any sign of impatience; they were gentle and very caring.  They told me “… because all of us are in this together.”  I was touched at what the notion of “all of us” meant to these elderly people.  It is a value I will treasure and carry on to my generation.

A strong Japan

Suntory Beverages has set up free vending machines.  Softbank Telephone services is offering free Wifi spots.  Everyone in Japan is putting everything they can into helping one another.  Japan is also now receiving aid from abroad.  Compared to the Kobe earthquake, when Japan took too long to contemplate accepting foreign aid or dispatching the self-defense force to join the rescue effort, Japan has definitely grown into a far stronger nation.  Be strong, everyone!

Morning Ceremony

At the shopping center I work at, every morning we have a ritual (common in Japan) where we stand and recite, “No matter what the situation, I will never show anxiety before my customer; in all customer-facing situations I will treat my customers with respect and do everything I can to make them feel comfortable and at ease”.  Today, these words were all actually kind of touching.  Well, so the day begins!  Here we go people, open shop!

Mr. Inoue

Mr. Inoue has been churning out drawings of smiling and laughing faces at an amazing pace!  Things like this remind me again of what it truly means to give people a message of strength and courage.

Lessons Learnt

What caught my attention on twitter is that a lot of the tweets were about the Kobe earthquake and how what we have learned from it has been put into practice this time around.  I know it goes without saying, but I was once again reminded of how humans are indeed creatures that possess the amazing ability to think and learn from experience.  It’s a great thought.

Message from a friend in Rome

My friend in Rome emailed me.  He said that people in Rome are watching the news and sharing their amazement and their heartfelt respect at how, even at a time like this, the people of Japan are able to remain calm and systematically respond to the situation.  People in Rome are thinking of us and are very concerned for us.

A strong voice

Yesterday, I was impressed and touched by the actions of my neighbor’s 13-year-old-boy.  He was home alone when the earthquake hit.  But instead of hiding, as soon as the earthquake quieted down, he jumped on his bicycle and road around the block repeatedly shouting at the top of his voice, “Is everyone alright?  Is everyone okay?”  At the time, there were only women and children and the elderly in the homes.  I cannot describe how comforting it was just to hear a strong voice asking if I was okay.  Thank you!

The beauty of helping one another

I went out last night to help some friends who were volunteering as security personnel between Machida City and Sagami Ohno City.  I saw total strangers, both young and old, helping each other along everywhere I turned and was heartened with an overwhelming feeling of encouragement.  I was so touched I hid behind the toilets and cried.

I just have a bike

I’m so touched!  My colleague at my part time job, wanting to help even just one extra person, wrote a sign saying “I just have a bike, but if you don’t mind hop on!”, rode out on his motorbike, picked up a stranded construction worker and took him all the way to Tokorozawa!  Respect!  I have never felt so strongly that I want to do something helpful for others.

Sharing your ride

It was stupid of me to think I could catch a cab at Urawamien Station.  I ended up walking 30 minutes and then finally was picked up by a stranger who offered to give me a lift.  I’m touched by the warmth of human kindness.  Thank you, thank you!

Rest here!

Last night, I decided, rather than stay at the office, I should try walking home.  So I slowly made my way west on Koshu freeway on foot.  It was around 9PM when I saw an office building that had a sign that said “Please use our office’s bathrooms! Please rest here!”  The employees of the office were loudly shouting out the same to all the people trying to walk home.  I was so touch I felt like crying.  Well, I guess I was too tense yesterday to cry, but now the tension is wearing off and am very much in tears.

At the convenience store

While most of the convenience stores near the station were closed because of the quake, there was just one Seven Eleven that was open.  The employees had lit lots of candles and put them on the stores shelves.  The cash register was not working and they could not take inventory, so the employees worked in threes, one reading up the item description and price, another punching the numbers into a calculator, and the last one using a flashlight to help them work.  The store managed to operate both “cash registers” efficiently this way.  Impressed!

On the way to the emergency evacuation areaMy oldest daughter was making her way to Yokohama’s emergency evacuation area.  Total strangers were helping each other out and showing each other the way to the emergency evacuation area.  She told me she was moved at how strangers, who can seem so cold at times, showed her kindness and care.  I was reminded at the Japanese peoples’ inherent ability to immediately unite in the face of adversity.  Today, I have discovered a newfound faith in my nation and my people.

A big, kind voice

I’ve been walking for many hours now.  I’m touched at how everywhere I turn, there are shops open with people shouting “Please use our bathroom!” or “Please rest here!” There were also office buildings where people with access to information were voluntarily shouting out helpful tips, like “**** line is now operational!”  Seeing things like this after walking for hours and hours made me feel like weeping with gratitude.  Seriously, there is still hope for this country!

On the platformThe Oedo Subway Line for Hikarigaoka is very congested.  On the platform and at the gate there are just crowds and crowds of people waiting for the train.  But in all the confusion, every last person is neatly lined up waiting his or her turn while managing to keep a passage of space open for staff and people going the other way.  Everyone is listening to the instructions from the staff and everyone acts accordingly.  And amazingly … there isn’t even a rope or anything in sight to keep people in queue or open space for staff to pass, they just do!  I am so impressed at this almost unnatural orderliness!  I have nothing but praise for these people!

Station staffI said to a Tokyometro station staff who was on all-night duty, “I’m sure it has been a tough night for you.  Thank you.”  He responded with a smile, “On a night like this, gladly!”  I was touched.

Coffee

My husband finally got home very late last night after walking for 4 hours.  He told me he felt like giving up at around Akabane, when an elderly man who was going around handing out free coffee saw him, gave him a steaming cup and said, “You must be tired and cold.  Here, have some coffee!”  My husband told me that it was because of this elderly man that he found the will and strength to continue walking.  I’ve already heard this story from him five times tonight, so no doubt he was really, really touched!  Thank you to my husband’s anonymous helper!

Blood donations

Japan is strong!  At Osaka I saw a LONG line of people waiting to give blood at the blood donation center.  This is the first time I have seen such a queue of selfless people waiting patiently in line just to give.  It was a moving sight!  To everyone in the hard-hit areas, we your countrymen accept your suffering as our own and we share in your grief.  Do not give up!  Stay strong!

Saving electricity for the North

I went to my neighborhood supermarket and was initially surprised that their neon signs were off.  They usually are open till 1AM.  I then found out that they were open, but were saving electricity so that more power could be channeled to the hard-hit coastal areas.  Wow!

Not enough money!

At the store where I work, a huge group of young men suddenly came in to buy booze.  One of them suddenly said, “Oops, I only have enough money to buy booze, I can’t donate!  Forget the booze, maybe next time!” and instead put ALL his money into the disaster relief donation box.  One by one, every single one of the army of youths threw all their money into the box after him.  What a heart-warming sight that was!

Goth youth

A goth youth with white hair and body piercings walked into my store and shoved several hundred dollars (several tens of thousands of yen) into the disaster relief fund donation box.  As he walked out, I and people around me heard him saying to his buddies, “I mean, we can buy those games anytime!”  At that, we all opened our wallets and put our money into the donation box.  Really, you cannot judge people by their appearances.

They looked absolutely delicious!

I too saw the guy handing out free rice balls and miso soup on the way back from Akihabara.  I was on my bicycle so I told him, “I’m okay, please give it to other people!”  On hindsight, I should have taken one … they looked absolutely delicious!!

Another Disney episode Amazing!  My brother just managed to get home from Disneyland right now.  He’s got bags and bags of free sweets.  Furthermore, Disneyland paid for every customer’s travel fare back.  All night long, the staff responded immediately and fully to every request he made.  Disneyland is truly a world class brand!

Same boat!

Last night, Aobadai station was jammed with stranded people unable to get home.  But there were private cars with drivers shouting “If you’re going in the direction of ****, please hop on!”  I was able to hitch a ride on one of them.  When I thanked the driver, he replied “No worries! We’re all on the same boat. We have to stick together!”

Need to charge your phone?

At the emergency evacuation area, a young first-year intern at my company who had brought her phone’s charger got permission from the facility to use their power socket and went around shouting “Anyone need to charge their phone?  Please use my charger!”  Just a little thing, but I was touched.
