Kisah Telur Ayam~

Bismillah..

Dulu-dulu, di zaman masih di alam kanak-kanak, tok ada bela ayam. Ayam-ayam tok macam-macam jenis. Warna putih, coklat dan campur-campur. Tiap kali kami balik kampung, pasti tok akan sembelih seekor hingga dua ekor ayam ikut keramaian sanak saudara yang pulang. Kata abah, ayam tok sedap. Sebab ayam tu 'ayam kampung'. Saya tertanya-tanya. Apa bezanya? Sebab sampai sekarang saya rasa tak de beza ayam kampung dengan ayam bandar. =_="

Suatu hari, salah seekor ayam tok bertelur. Tok kutip telur-telur tu untuk dibuat hidangan. Setiap kali tok pecahkan telur-telur tu, saya mengharapkan anak ayam akan keluar. Tapi yang ada hanyalah telur mentah. Saya fikir, telur tu masih belum cukup matang. Masih perlukan pengeraman dari ibu. Semenjak itu, sehingga di rumah pun kalau melihat ummi pecahkan telur akan mengharapkan anak ayam bakal keluar. Tapi tidak. Saya bertambah-tambah pelik punyalah lama telur berada di dalam peti tetapi tidak menetas. Fikiran ketika itu menjawab kerana tidak mendapat haba secukupnya. Pernah sekali terfikir, kalaulah telur tersebut dipanaskan sesuai dengan suhu pengeraman, pasti akan menetas.

Namun hari ini, baru tersingkap ilmu yang selama ini saya tidak tahu. Rupa-rupanya, telur-telur yang kita makan selama ini tak akan menetas selamanya. Walau diberi haba secukupnya. Tahu kenapa? Kerana telur-telur tersebut tidak cukup chromosome. Tidak berlaku persenyawaan untuk telur-telur tersebut. Lecturer farm animal kata, kalau berlaku persenyawaan dan mungkin boleh menetaskan anak ayam, telur tersebut ketika dipecahkan akan ada sedikit warna merah yakni darah. Uh. Macam tak pernah jumpa. Kalau jumpa macam tak akan makan? Err..

Kedudukan telur untuk dia menetas pun memainkan peranan penting. Bahagian hujung yang punya luas permukaan besar sedikit perlu diletakkan tinggi sedikit daripada bahgian hujung yang kecil. Tahu kenapa? Supaya anak ayam tidak kelemasan ketika mahu memecahkan kulit telur.

Menarik kan alam yang Allah beruskan?

Perkara sekeliling kita pun masih banyak yang tidak tersingkap pengetahuan mengenainya. Apalagi masa hadapan kita kan?

Moga jangan walau sedetik Allah lepaskan hidup kita di tangan sendiri.

Sub7anallah.. cantikkan warna matahari tu..

Err.. apa kaitan matahari dengan telur ayam? Sebab dia sama-sama bulat? =_="

Antara Batu dan Bulu Ayam~

Bismillah..

Di rumah, Kajang. Tahun 1999 @ 2000. (Tak berapa ingat)

Abah: Antara 2kg batu dengan 2kg bulu ayam, mana lebih berat?
Saya: Batu.
Abah: Ye ke? Abah ulang balik eh. Antara 2kg batu dengan 2kg bulu ayam, mana lebih berat?
Saya: *senyap sambil berkerut tanda berfikir* Batuuuuuu!!
Abah: Cuba fikir betul-betul.. Kan abah cakap batu 2kg, bulu ayam pun 2kg...
Saya: Abah nak kata sama berat ke dua tu?
Abah: Ha laahhhh!!
Saya: Kenapa pulak?
Abah: Laaa.. awak tak dapat lagi ke?
Saya: *Duduk atas kerusi sambil berfikir lagi..* =_="

Hari ini baca lecture psycho pasal cognitive development. Baru tahu kenapa waktu abah tanya saya, saya tak dapat-dapat point abah.

Concrete operations stage

The concrete operations stage lasts from about 7 to about 11. The word operations refers to logical operations or principles we use when solving problems. In this stage, the child not only uses symbols representationally, but can manipulate those symbols logically. Quite an accomplishment! But, at this point, they must still perform these operations within the context of concrete situations.

The stage begins with progressive decentering. By six or seven, most children develop the ability to conserve number, length, and liquid volume. Conservation refers to the idea that a quantity remains the same despite changes in appearance. If you show a child four marbles in a row, then spread them out, the preoperational child will focus on the spread, and tend to believe that there are now more marbles than before.

Or if you have two five inch sticks laid parallel to each other, then move one of them a little, she may believe that the moved stick is now longer than the other.

The concrete operations child, on the other hand, will know that there are still four marbles, and that the stick doesn’t change length even though it now extends beyond the other. And he will know that you have to look at more than just the height of the milk in the glass: If you pour the milk from the short, fat glass into the tall, skinny glass, he will tell you that there is the same amount of milk as before, despite the dramatic increase in milk-level!

By seven or eight years old, children develop conservation of substance: If I take a ball of clay and roll it into a long thin rod, or even split it into ten little pieces, the child knows that there is still the same amount of clay. And he will know that, if you rolled it all back into a single ball, it would look quite the same as it did - a feature known as reversibility.

By nine or ten, the last of the conservation tests is mastered: conservation of area. If you take four one-inch square blocks ("houses"), and lay them on a six-by-six cloth together in the center, the child who conserves will know that they take up just as much room as the same blocks spread out in the corners, or, for that matter, anywhere at all.

If all this sounds too easy to be such a big deal, note that many adults do not conserve area. Or test your friends on conservation of mass: Which is heavier: a million tons of lead, or a million tons of feathers? Many will focus on the words "lead" and "feathers", and ignore the fact that they both weigh a million tons.

(Macam soalan abah. ^_^)

In addition, a child learns classification and seriation during this stage. Classification refers back to the question of whether there are more marbles or more black marbles. Now the child begins to get the idea that one set can include another. Seriation is putting things in order. The younger child may start putting things in order by, say size, but will quickly lose track. Now the child has no problem with such a task. Since arithmetic is essentially nothing more than classification and seriation, the child is now ready for some formal education!

Pengembara Dunia~

Bismillah..

“Hatiku telah menjadi berbagai bentuk
Padang rumput bagi para kijang,
Biara bagi para Biksu,
Kuil bagi Pemuja,
Kabah bagi para Jamaah,
Tablet untuk Torah,
Dan Sebuah Kitab Al-Quran.”

“Aku mengakui agama Cinta
Arah manapun cinta melangkah,
Maka ia adalah agama dan takdirku”.

( Ibnu Arabi, Tarjuman al-Azwaq )

Salman Al-Farisi.
Dia lagenda agung
Tabah mencari agama Cinta.
Pengembara dunia
Penduduk akhirat.

p/s: Kembara. Bawa hanya yang perlu untuk tidak membebankan. Maka apa yang hanya perlu sebagai pengembara dunia?
