Jangan takut dilambung ombak

Bermaksud dimana-mana sahaja ada ombak ada masalah. Raja pun ada masalah. Jutawan pun ada masalah. Orang yang hafal satu ayat dengan orang yang hafal 30 juz juga ada masalah.

Pada setiap orang ombak masalah ini semuanya ada masa tinggi dan ada masa rendah.

Janganlah kita memilih untuk ada rasa takut dilanda pelbagai dugaan dan masalah. Janganlah kita simpan dan peram rasa takut dalam menghadapa hari-hari mendatang. Yang pergi tetap pergi dan tidak akan kembali. Yang belum pergi tetap akan pergi. Tetapi kita masih diberi peluang untuk bersedia.

You are a real fountain pen addict when...

You are a real fountain pen addict when...

When you begin exploring the possibilities and differences of the same ink in different pens.

When you do a personal review of stub nibs in lower-end pens with your first cup of coffee in the morning

When you can espouse on at least 5 different brands/types of virtually identical ink ("I love Noodler's Navajo Turquoise, but it's just a bit dark on cheap paper. It's still my favorite as of now, though. Diamine Turquoise is lovely too, but not quite as saturated as the Noodler's. Lamy Turquoise is much too dry for my taste, and while I love the feel of Ama-Iro, it's just a smidge too blue. I wonder if I could add a couple of drops of Ku-Jaku in the ink to 'green' it up? All I know is that I can't wait for my sample of Diamine Blue Lighting to get here!")

You have 12 inked pens and none of them feel "right" for today's journal entry.

When you ponder whether there is a safe way to use a fountain pen in the shower, or in the pool, or at the beach.

You have a cheaper pen for fishing and photography notes.
And a cheap pen for sailling/motorcycle use.
And some nice vintage Pelikans, Parkers and Monties for nice everyday office/home use.
And then you put them all together in one carry case, because you used different inks in the pens, and you just might need that Red Dragon, the MB Oyster Grey and the...well, you get the point.

The last thing I do in bed each night before I turn out the light is research pens and ink on my iPhone.

You figure in the cost of an least one great pen with your vacation budget.

when myy fp and ink wish list is longer than any other list...

You have enough pens that you can color-coordinate them with your wardrobe...

You get others hooked! I took my pens to work to let everyone play with them and they were drawing and writing and then our boss came and told us to get back to work. Then he had to restrain himself from picking up one of the pens.

When you simply cannot walk past a fountain pen anywhere any time without a closer look.

When you playback in slow-motion a scene in a movie that might have had a fountain pen in it.

When you are cleaning and organizing your kitchen, you know you always set out at least two trays, can't find the second tray, then you say to yourself out loud: "Hmm, I am certain I set out a second pen".
Actually happened to me last week.

When you go to bed listening to Goulet q &a, the pen habit, figboot, or any other fountain pen YouTube videos.

You feel strange without at least one pen on you when you walk out of your front door.

 I always carry a fountain pen and a small notepad whenever I exercise, best time for brainstorming. Actually, the shower is the best time for brainstorming, still haven't figured how to take advantage of that.

When you are in denial that you are an addict.

When you say "sorry" to the pens you have to take out of your bag because they don't fit (while still keeping 10 or so pens in the bag).

You walk for hours, enquire in several places, wait, don't doubt about price or needs or priorities, you don't stop until you have that pen that even makes you wake up in the middle of the night just to think about it once more!
When you live for that!!
Hobby? Nah
Side activity? Nope
Taste for odd toys? They are not toys!
It's your LIFE!!!! .

you tell people you collect pens

You stare at pen websites when you should be working

Your love of fountain pens takes you from restoring vintage, to learning as much history as possible, to seeking out employment with a company that makes pens.

our children see a package, look at you, and say accusingly, "Did you buy more pen stuff?"

You can't write with anything else.

When your wife finds your finds your hypodermic needles used for filling cartridges and wants to have a "serious talk."

When you see a new pen group on Facebook and join even though you know it is a group that speaks a language you have no hope of ever speaking or understanding because there's......pictures!

When you submit an annual budget to your financial planner and there is a "Miscellaneous" line that causes you both to just glance down further at the paper.

A portion of your room is specially for fountain pens, Inks, and related items

You have a specific fountain pen for every thinkable writing task, be it a single streak or days or writing in one specific notebook?

When you have eleventy billion cheapie pens for each ink sample in your stash.

Your spouse says, "should we visit <location> some day?" and your response is based primarily on the existence of pen shops in <location>.

You don't mind when your hands get inked.

You catch yourself telling regular people about the neat color change in an ink you have, giving them the opportunity to say "Did you just admit that you watch ink dry for fun?"

You keep buying pen cases even you've left school some thirty years ago...

 Including four I bought in the new Smiggles store on Saturday (aimed totally at children and yes I did get the odd look when I was in the queue .... :) ) but I got 4 fabulous cases for my fountain pens !!!!!

 I was writing with my Diplomat today, watching colleagues with their alternative writing instruments, and I realised that there was no looking back to the time when I did not use a fountain pen (before december 2016).

You're in this group?

When you are at the gym and while on the treadmill your jam is a goulet pen video. Just happened.

When you match colours in the real world to pens and inks colour instead of it's actual colour

When you realize you have makeup in the colors of your favorite fountain pen inks.

When you have over a dozen hypodermic needles in your drawer and it's not drug related.

At every stationery shops you passed by, you just wanted to go into see fountain pen related things.

When you seek any opportunity to write instead of typing on a e-device

When you make or don't make financial decisions based on how many bottles of ink, or Vanishing Points, or Rhodia pads, etc. For example if you are looking to upgrade your vehicle and you think is it really worth an extra Vanishing Point EVERY month, or I'd like to order the PPV fights but is it really worth 2 bottles of Iroshizuku. When 80% of financial transactions are viewed through the lense of the FP related trade-off.

You mesure value of goods in how much pens or ink you could buy instead

When you have more ink then you could use in your entire life

When you shop at antique shops only for fountain pens.

When you have a monthly ink budget.

Kita boleh lakukan sesuatu keburukan atau kejahatan dan kita lakukan perkara tersebut secara senyap-senyap dan tersembunyi. Biar semua orang tidak tahu kecuali diri kita sendiri sahaja. Tetapi dengan izin Allah swt perkara tersebut tetap akan terbongkar juga.

Disini bukan bermaksud keburukan kita akan tetap dibuka oleh Allah swt tetapi adalah lebih baik kita segera berubah. Moha dengan perubahan ini aib kita tersebut akan tertutup. Dalam masa yang sama juga, kita janganlah membuka aib orang lain.

Jika sudah menjadi ketentua Allah, orang tersebut akan membuka sendiri aib dia. Itulah yang disebut oleh orang-orang tua sebagai Membuka Pekung Didada Sendiri.

Moga ayat ini memberi kita satu kesedaran yang mendalam. Hayatilah keseluruhan ayat ini, moga Allah memberi kita hidayah.

Not Where I Expected It - Discovering My First Fountain Pen

I had been under the impression that my first fountain pen was a black plastic Manuscript pen that I bought at Hobby Lobby around the holidays last year. (I purchased it in the hopes that it would somehow stave off my coveting of the Levenger Waterlilies True Writer. It didn’t work.) Then, a few weeks ago, I was rummaging in my little drawer-unit of office supplies (a wretched mess of old ballpoints, metallic gel pens that don’t not-work enough to allow myself to toss them, 3.5” disks, and shop bags from special stores). And I found a pen I’d forgotten I’d had: a blue-plastic-barreled fountain pen with silver accents. I remembered: one of my uncles (the same one who loaned me The Lord of the Rings trilogy for my first read through the series) had gotten me a fountain pen—one that used cartridges—for a birthday. It might have been my sixteenth, even, or it was a gift for high school graduation—I’m ashamed to say I don’t remember what the real occasion was.

And I don’t really remember using the pen. Even without having the accurate memory, though, I can tell you  why I don’t remember using the pen: the cartridge. It likely only came with one or two cartridges, and I grew up in the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania (an honest hour to anything  like a Staples). This was before I could have ordered anything on the internet, too. And so I would have saved those cartridges, hoarded them until the perfect moment. Then, when I used the first one, I would have thought that the line was too bold, too dark, too certain or too arrogant or too permanent. Too wide. Too something. At sixteen, or eighteen, or whatever, I remember using pencil nearly exclusively, and if I forayed into pen-usage, it was with black Bic stick pens, the kind that left gossamer strands of that viscous ink between letters that smudged, faintly iridescent and sticky. (Those metallic gel pens? I really only used them for drawing on myself and for the occasional whimsical note—on black paper—to friends or my boyfriend, now husband.)

Ink was too permanent. I wrote—poetry, fiction, papers—in pencil. (Still, I didn’t erase much. I’d strike through something in graphite instead of erasing it, oddly enough.) My preference was for the disposable mechanical pencils, though if I could have gotten my hands on a gross of the fat, dark blue Ticonderoga pencils we used in kindergarten, I’d have used only those forever. (In a drawer, in my parents’ house, there’s a two-inch pencil stub with my name—on a tiny slip of paper—still taped to its barrel.) I don’t know if they still make those pencils, but the leads were so smooth, so yielding. I don’t think I’d call them soft, not exactly, because I don’t have much memory of that lead smudging, but they wrote so easily.

And so I wrote in pencil. Either out of ease (little pressure required), out of uncertainty (so much less assertive-looking on the page), or out of habit (very little work was done in pen during my pre-college days—just the final copies of papers). In college, I lost track of my blue fountain pen. It was probably always with me, in that messy drawer of writing utensils, but it certainly wasn’t on my radar.

Fast-forward through three degrees. I still wrote a lot of things in pencil (particularly while grading), though I’d switched to writing my fiction exclusively with the black Bic stick pens. (I learned that pencil-on-looseleaf, carried around on a clipboard shoved in a backpack, leaves one with smudged and often difficult-to-read results.) I wish I’d noticed during my Ph.D. years that the Bics were probably contributing to my massive wrist/hand pain because they require a good bit of pressure to work well, but I didn’t. It wasn’t until my move to Wyoming that fountain pens really hit my radar, completely due to the aesthetics of the pen itself. (I’ve never much cared for a bold line while writing. Growing up, I envied those wispy sketch-lines that come out of taking certain art classes.)

I thought I could stave off the (expensive) urge for a Levenger pen by getting any pen with the “fountain” quality. It didn’t work. My black plastic Manuscript served its purpose, though it also was prone to covering my hands in black ink at any given moment, of getting me used to a bold line. I discovered I liked that. I don’t know if it had to do with having my first “real” job—a full-time position as an instructor; if it had to do with accepting my writing as a legitimate, worthy thing; or if it was simply time. (Having that “real” job also made it possible to even consider a pen that cost more than all of my office supply budget for a four-year graduate degree. And now I know that the Levenger brand pens are on the gentler end of the fountain pen expense scale, for the most part—but that’s another thought for another day.)

The rest, of course, is the current history: fountain pens have become one of my enthusiasms, though the symptoms are relatively minor by comparison to others’. But let me bring this all back to that blue-plastic-barreled pen.

It is, as I have discovered, the most basic model of the Parker Vector, probably from about 1997. The nib is petite, and the point is quite rounded.

Nib very shiny. It says Parker across the base of the nib.
I’m sure there are terms for these features, but I don’t know them. It is extraordinarily light in the hand because the blue plastic is quite thin. It uses cartridges (which I can now get at the local OfficeMax, though they only have black in stock). My current evil plan is to use up at least one cartridge and then refill it with more interesting ink until I have a good reason to order a converter for it. (I much prefer converters to cartridges. I can’t even tell you how much more.) I may even consider making it an eye-dropper pen, though I’ve not done that before.

The line it makes is fairly smooth, somewhere around the Western fine that my Levenger True Writer produces. It is a little bit dry-writing, though it cooperates more easily the longer I write with it. It also seems to like the Levenger annotation pad (with a slight bit more tooth to it than the Rhodia) more than other paper options.

At current, I will likely not use it very often—just to have something inked in black when I need it, as my other three everyday writers are always done up with something a bit more colorful—but I am glad to have it. This pen came to me because my uncle recognized, more than a decade ago, that I was someone who took writing seriously. My uncle Dennis has always done this; from him and his wife, I received writing and reading tools (bookmarks, particularly, and the refillable planner I used from freshman year of college until I graduated with my Ph.D., the year that finally killed it) that were both beautiful and functional. Things that were serious business. More importantly, these gifts said that he took what I did seriously, and that interest goes a long way in bolstering the confidence of a young writer and academically-minded person.

Avoid using fountain pens to write cheques

PETALING JAYA: Malaysians are advised to avoid using fountain pens or those with ink that are easily washable when writing details on cheques to prevent fraud.

MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Seri Michael Chong urged the people to use a ballpoint pen as the ink was more permanent.

He also advised the people to make a copy of the cheque before issuing or sending the cheque to the recipient, and not sending cheques via the mail.

“When writing details on the cheque, try not to leave too much blank space where fraudsters can add letters or numbers,” he said yesterday.

Chong said he had received eight such complaints involving tens of thousands of ringgit since 2011.

“There are many forms of such cheating using cheques,” he said, adding that one of the ways was where fraudsters intercepted the cheques while they were being delivered and altered instructions written on the cheques like the payee’s name, date and amount, leaving only the signature intact.

Chong said fraudsters were believed to use a high-performance eraser to clean off printed words, from ballpoint pen ink to typewriter ribbon ink and other printed letters.

After removing the details from the cheque and leaving only the signature, the suspects would then “fill in the blanks”.

Chong said another way was where the fraudsters would add letters or numbers into the details written on the cheque.

Chong added that fraudsters also used a computer and scanner to produce “clean” copies of the altered cheques.

Passionate about fountain pens

February 7, 2016, Sunday
Peter Tan, mail@petertan.com

A few months ago, I wrote about discovering the fountain pen that my father gave to me when I was in primary school. It is my most cherished possession. Unfortunately, I never took the trouble to look after it with care. The years of neglect and abuse have damaged it beyond repair.

That unexpected find renewed my interest in cursive handwriting once again. The flair in looping the letters, dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s is therapeutic to say the least. Studies have shown that writing by hand makes learning more effective, improves memory and stimulates creativity.

While browsing for a replacement in eBay, I found out that there are many variations in nib, refill system and barrel materials. The options for nibs alone are staggering. They come in different metals with an assorted tip shape and size, and flexibility. The prices are also wide-ranging – starting from a few ringgit to tens of thousands of ringgit.

The search led me to affordable yet quality makes, namely Pilot, Platinum and Sailor. These are the big three in writing instruments in Japan. Until then, I never knew the ‘Land of the Rising Sun’ had a long and illustrious history in fountain pen manufacturing that began in the early 20th century. These pens are reasonably priced and are good value for money.

I settled for the most expensive that I could afford, which is the Platinum #3776 Century Bourgogne. The #3776 Century range has particularly good reviews in fountain pen forums. The four digits in the name denote the height of Mount Fuji, the tallest mountain in Japan. I had seen the picturesque snow-capped peak from afar when I was in Tokyo many years ago and the name of this pen brought back memories of that mesmerising experience.

Since it was sold for 30-per cent lower in an online store in Japan, I got a friend to buy it for me from there and bring it when he came here on a working trip. The moment I laid eyes on the burgundy-coloured barrel with gold-plated trims, I fell in love with it. The 14k gold nib was smooth and made writing a pleasure.

The resin barrel was glossy smooth. Maintaining it in its pristine condition could be tricky. I was determined not to allow the same neglect to befall this pen. Not using it would keep it in its original condition but that would defeat the purpose of getting the pen as I had intended to use it to improve my handwriting as much as possible.

There are the common but expensive leather and faux leather cases, some which cost more than the pen itself. And then I came across the pen kimono. This is basically a long slender pouch made from kimono fabric, which usually comes with the more expensive and exclusive handcrafted Japanese-made fountain pens.

I showed my friend Jocelyn an image of it. She makes beautiful cloth bags and handmade bows, and bakes some of the most mouth-watering cookies. We have known each other from our blogging days more than 10 years ago. I asked if she could make a similar pen kimono for me. By the next day, she showed me some photos of what she had made.

The deep red of the pen stood out against the bold-patterned blue Swedish fabric that she chose. She had asked if I was fussy about the fabric. I told her I was not as the main purpose was to keep the pen in good shape. To date, it remains a precious accessory in protecting the pen from scratches and wear and tear of being indiscriminately left around on my messy work desk.

In the evenings, when there is some time to spare, I would take the pen out to practise my handwriting. The feeling of writing with the hand is different from tapping on the keyboard.

I have to be conscious of the spacing, angle and size of each letter, making sure that they are properly formed and legible. If anything, it is a good way to improve my fine motor skills.

I have since gone on to acquire a few more fountain pens. The cheapest in my collection is a China-made Jinhao X450 which I won for approximately RM5 from an auction on eBay. It performs just like a fountain should for its price range, which I would say is quite a bargain.

My other favourites are the beginner-friendly Pilot Kakuno and the Lamy Al-Star. Both give clear crisp lines with smooth ink flows.

Each pen has its own characteristics. I find that my handwriting is different with each pen, partly due to the way I hold it and partly due to the flexibility and width of the nibs. I tend to go for the bigger pens which are easier to grip, and broader nibs to match my large writings.

I have stopped buying recently as there are only so many I can use. As it is, I seldom have time to practise my handwriting as much as I would like to.

Perhaps it is time to get Jocelyn to make a few more pen kimonos for the other pens as well. They need all the protection they can get, seeing how most of them are scattered all over my work desk.
