Buta mata tak nampak jalan di dunia
Kerana tidak nampak cahaya
Tidak tahu ke mana hendak dituju
Ke hilir atau ke hulu
Selamatlah di dunia fana ini
Bilamana mata tidak buta
Melalui pengalaman diri
Kerana jalan itu sudah biasa
Ada pedoman yang menunjuk kita
Tongkat di tangan membantu jua
Boleh jadi orang simpati yang membawa
Tapi jika buta hati menderita
Tidak nampak jalan menuju ke akhirat
Negeri yang kekal abadi
Tidak diukur, tidak diukur dengan mata
Kerana tiada kawan yang membantu
Tiada pengalaman yang memastikannya
Tiada pedoman menunjuk kita
Tidak ada yang simpati menolong kita
Dalam kegelapan terjun ke neraka
Menderita di negeri yang abadi
Tidak kembali ke dunia lagi
Tiada gunanya penyesalan diri
Oleh itu banyakkan ‘amal dan bakti

I found these really cool sites on different graphs/visualisation methods (information design), elegantly laid out to look like the periodic table, just mouse over the ‘elements’ for beautiful examples of the different methods: http://www.visual-literacy.org/periodic_table/periodic_table.html
and more links and info from this: http://backspace.com/infodesign.pdf. The site (backspace.com) itself is impressive, all advocacy stuff laid out in a visually pleasing manner.
Some of the free softwares listed:
- inkscape
- the gimp/gimpshop
- scribus
- pdfcreator
all this in my search for a site for making free flip books, anyone know?

an excerpt from Uncle Teddy’s speech:
The Irish ambassador recited a poem to John’s father and mother soon after John was born. I can hear it again now, at this different and difficult moment:
We wish to the new child
A heart that can be beguiled
By a flower
That the wind lifts
As it passes.
If the storms break for him
May the trees shake for him
Their blossoms down.
In the night that he is troubled
May a friend wake for him
So that his time may be doubled,
And at the end of all loving and love,
May the Man above
Give him a crown.
We thank the millions who have rained blossoms down on John’s memory. He and his bride have gone to be with his mother and father, where there will never be an end to love. He was lost on that troubled night — but we will always wake for him, so that his time, which was not doubled, but cut in half, will live forever in our memory, and in our beguiled and broken hearts.
We dared to think, in that other Irish phrase, that this John Kennedy would live to comb gray hair, with his beloved Carolyn by his side. But like his father, he had every gift but length of years.
We who have loved him from the day he was born, and watched the remarkable man he became, now bid him farewell.
