Free is always good...come and get them!

I think many of us are having a similar dilemma or share the same 'problem' as I do. We sometimes failed to realize that our home sweet home, over the years had and could become a good dumping site for many unused usable items laying idle somewhere in every corner the cockroaches can reach . I won't be surprised if we look closely and list down every single items in our house and come out with a good and discernible asset inventory we will find for example an extra rice cooker that was given during our wedding day sit on the top of the shelf, branded handbags from annual mega sales shopping frenzy hidden somewhere in the closet, extra golf set to impress prospective business partner but at the end failed, an expansive-underutilized and problematic maid sitting aimlessly in one corner of the kitchen or even a stockpile of Scud missiles post-Iraqi war at our own backyard as a unique memorabilia. Those unused items and artifacts if left idle much longer will surely degrade, rot, gather dust, reduce in aesthetic value (read menyemak) or even pose a health hazard to us.


With all that scary possibilities in mind and after some poking into my left and right brain, I've come up with a "syok sendiri', bombastic but holistic idea. I've decided to set up a special platform in this Blogosphere with the intention to share the items with you, my trusted fellow bloggers in hoping that those unused items will find another good home, good owner and good use. It is a concept of recycling things and the best thing is they are free (if you don't include your petrol for traveling).

You can have a peek into the new blog "khas untuk Blogger aje" to get the feel of the concept and see if there are items of your interest for a quick grab. It is still in its infancy and any suggestion to make the idea to flourish and metamorph into a community playground is very much anticipated. More items will be added up from time to time. I just have to find the right time to gather all those items and convert them into a photogenic material.

If you want to take one step further though and make this effort a blessed one which hopefully can becomes a future saham in our next life, a sincere donation as a token for those items which can be used for many good causes is very much treasured too. One immediate recipient that come into my mind is a surau in my neighborbood (Surau Al-Hikmah) that is now being upgraded into a KAFA. I hope the work can be finished just before the fasting month. You can bank in your token/donation into the Surau's account and come and get the item(s) of interest and value to you from me.


Those items could actually well be featured in our local lelong scenes or other international auction platforms but I don't feel like doing so because by jumping into that bandwagon this effort will loose it personal touch, exclusiveness and not cool anymore. That however is just my personal opinion.

Perhaps another idea is, other Bloggers can chip in too in this effort by disposing and recycling their unused item through this platform for the benefit of the others. Just email me the details and I will post them in the new blog. I promise I will accept and post anything but please don't dispose your grumpy husband/wife here - those kind of thing if you know what I mean.

Summary of the new concept :

1. Free unused but workable items to dispose/recycle
2. Collect yourself (small items can be posted/couriered but at cost of the recipient)
3. If you feel a bit generous, donate for any good cause (optional and no obligation)
4. Exclusive to our Blogger friends only!

Please feel free to comment, critic and give suggestion to improve this effort. Your endless support, my Blooger friends is very much appreciated.

This is just the beginning and I hope it won't be the last.

pernah menetap di vietnam.. takde masalah nak lepaskan barang2 terpakai di sana sbb keadaan sosio ekonomi nya (esp muslims there).. kadang pulak rasa bersalah sbb beli yg baru, let go yg lama..

and now kat kerteh.. pon sama.. senang nak lepaskan barang terpakai.. saya sokong usaha ini.. will try to contribute..

eeemmm Insya Allah moga terlaksana usaha baik tersebut...


"Hadith Nabi SAW

إذا مات ابن آدم انقطع عمله إلا من ثلاث : صدقة جارية , أو علم ينتفع به من بعده , أو ولد صالح يدعو له

Ertinya : "Apabila mati anak adam, terputus semua amalannya kecuali tiga perkara : Sedeqah jariah, Ilmunya yang dimanfaatkan orang selepas kematiannya, dan anaknya yang soleh yang mendoakannya.

Dan

((وأن ليس للإنسان إلا ما سعى ))

Ertinya : "Dan sesungguhnya setiap manusia tidak akan memperolehi kecuali apa yang diusahakan.." ( An-Najm : 39 )


Dari Abu Hurairah r.a, Nabi s.a.w. sabdanya:

Sesiapa yang mengajak ke jalan mengerjakan sesuatu amal yang baik, adalah baginya pahala sebanyak pahala orang-orang yang menurutnya, dengan tidak mengurangi sedikit pun pahala itu dari pahala-pahala mereka, dan (sebaliknya) sesiapa yang mengajak kejalan mengerjakan sesuatu amal yang menyesatkan, adalah ia menanggung dosa sebanyak dosa orang-orang yang menurutnya, dengan tidak mengurangi sedikit pun dosa itu dan dosa-dosa mereka.

yupp selalunya kalau dalam bentuk bantuan ni banyak kemudahan diberikan...kerana benda baik ni Allah juga permudahkan segala urusan

Jazakallah Khairan

Alhamdulillah ... segala usaha yang di jalankan moga menambah berkat dari Allah

Apabila kita mensyukuri rezeki Allah s.w.t maka Allah s.w.t akan memberkati hidup kita dan Dia akan memberi tambahan rezeki dijalan yang tidak disangka-sangka.

Rasulullah s.a.w. bersabda yang maksudnya, “Makanan untuk seorang mencukupi untuk dua orang dan makanan untuk dua orang mencukupi untuk empat orang dan makanan untuk empat orang mencukupi untuk lapan orang.” (Hadis riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim)

Hi DrSam, best idea. I put unused items beside the garbage bin, n saw the garbage collectors are happy with it. Infact look forward to trade items like papers, plastics with paper lama vendor. Long procedure at least something to them. About the tea tu, herbs like ginger etc. Have a taste soon :)

DrSam said...

aliff muhammad,
That was one good idea and a commendable effort too.

Afzainizam,
Alhamduilllah Afzainizam. Semoga usaha-usaha baik kita membantu saudara seagama mendapat keberkatan.

TheFusion Tea,
I used to do that too. this is just another way to recycle our unused items. Looking forward to get a taste on your special tea.

salam doc, lama menyepi. semoga sihat sekeluarga, ramadhan kareem! :D

Fadhil said...

Salam Doc. I've been away from blogging for some time too..

Sorry I've not posted the rain samples back to you. Actually I managed to get 5 samples from my previous project in Sg Besi but a change of work location screwed up my free time. I'm thinking now of ditching the previous samples and taking new ones at this present work place.

Love your new idea. I have plenty of stuff gathering dust in my storeroom. Let's see if I can find the time to do some spring cleaning and donate some items to you.
