Yang pasti minggu ini adalah minggu orang bercerita tentang budget 2012, tinggalkan kisah sejarah,hudud dan sebagainya kerana biasanya wang adalah segala2nya! So, bila hal duit, yang terima akan cakap t/kasih dan yang tak dapat akan mencemuh/merajuk dan orang2 yang beruntung adalah orang2 yang bersyukur dan meletakkan segalanya kepada Allah, dunia hanya sementara maka pada yang dapat lebih jagalah amanah (kerja dengan sempurna) supaya bajet akhirat pun dapat juga!(sekadar peringatan kerana ianya tak dapat di pisahkan)-dunia akhirat!
