A Journey Beyond The Logical Mind

Salam to all.

A post dedicated to Allahyarham Mikael Jackson. Innalillah wa inna ilaihi rajiun.
***
Dalia bursted out of her room and said,'Wany, Michael Jackson dah meninggal.'
It took quite a few seconds for me to absorb that shocking info.

And in my heart, I felt so jealous of him.

Because he had just converted to Islam, and was pure, clean of sins.
Like a newborn baby.
And Allah had invited him to see Him.

Me?
Alhamdulillah, a Muslimah from my first day of life.
Islam warisan, some people called.
But..
Am I really a Muslimah?
Do I behave like one?
Do I practice Islam as a whole?
Do I really put Allah in front of everything I do?
I always forget to ask myself that.

***
I still remember that 1993 video tape of Michael Jackson's songs. My mom used to play it for me. And my favourite?

A huge stadium with a lot of people in it. Children of all ages holding hands. Everybody sings. Michael Jackson in the middle, white clothes. A GIANT baloon was inflated in the middle of the stadium, the baloon is Earth.

After 14 years, I still remember that video clip.

It was Heal The World.






Enjoy this as much as I used to and still am.

Don't forget to understand its lyrics. So touching.

May Allah bless him.

Salam to all.

In the car.

'Knapa nak dengar radio lalat ni?'
'Mana ada lalat.. nama dia Fly~'
'A'ah, Fly best tapi America's Top 40 macam tak best sangat'
'Yang depan-depan memang la tak best...'

And my dad switched to Mix or Lite.
I miss the weekend 'pusing-pusing' around Penang at night.

And the dinner at the same gerai under the open sky, with me ordering the same menu (mee goreng, papaddom, milo ais) haha. And talking-talking to Mimi, hearing my mom and dad discuss about their work, with Naim the loner 'berlagak cool'. Haha..

That's my lil bro, he's only a primary school punya budak but his haircare products are A LOT. Gels, wax, creams and god knows what else. He and my sister are into those haircare stuff for unknown reason...Thank god my mom doesn't allow him perfumes or stuff, huh, I wonder how crowded the table would be. And when he talks, he always try to sound 'macho'.. hahaha! Children are growing up so fast these days, haih~ *hint hint* Don't forget next Thursday! hahaha.. promote pulak..

Anyway, why do people want to grow up? I mean, I dont~
For the past few days, we discussed about 'childhood and growing up' during English and Ms. Ting brought back the memories of my old days (like I'm that old~ haha).

What are the things that I can remember about my childhood? Hmm.. lets see..
Toys: Telephone, car (like the one you see on my profile picture), yellow tent, LEGO, masak-masak things, and oh how can I forget it, Baby Kuning! haha.

Baby Kuning used to be my favourite doll. Of course la it's yellow in colour.My mom said I used to bring it everywhere with me. And there's one incident where I left my Baby Kuning at a hotel and my mom and dad had to go back and look for it... Alhamdulillah, the hotel people didn't throw it yet.. And my mom mentioned that Abang Faizur was a 'Baby Kuning hunter' for he always had to look for my Baby Kuning.. Haha.. thanks everyone!

What else? Oh!

7 years old.
A girl that age should to be innocent right?
Not for me.
I did a LOT of things when I was 7.

Tipu markah exam.
Alkisahnya:
I got 98 for my BM. And I think I want 100 so badly la. So I erased the 'X' mark and put a tick. And my mom checked. She asked why I didn't get 100? And I said, 'cikgu cakap sebab kakak colour gambar-gambar tu. Sebab tu cikgu tolak markah'.

Boikot kawan.
Mid year exam. I got No. 5 and one of my friend got No. 1. And I said to my other classmates, 'Jangan kawan dengan dia.. jangan kawan dengan dia..' referring to my friend that got No.1 la. Nothing? Well, the thing is, that girl transferred to another school that same year.

Curi duit tabung.
Yes, my mom gave me pocket money but I still took some from my own tabung. That tabung shouldn't be touched, actually. But it's my tabung, ok? Maybe this is not so bad~

There's still some minor-minor stuff I did that's not worth putting here..
Moving on to standard 2, I became better la. No more of those cheating stuff and I accept failure better, meaning no more boycotting people.. haha. Since I was appointed as pengawas, I need to be nice..

I am more matured now, don't worry... haha.

Conclusion: I don't want to grow up. Fullstop.Noktah.Period.Dot.

***
P/s: Before this, I read 'Stranger in the mirror' by Sidney Sheldon but after reading like the first 80 pages, I couldn't see where the story is going. In harsher word, boring. Not so good an impression for a novelist like Sidney Sheldon... So I stopped and started 'If Tomorrow Comes'. And yes, this is what I expect from him.

Experiments are suppose to be about discovery and the process should guide us to understand the concept more. But my experience with experiments are not enjoyable, to say the least. Urgh! Especially the REPORT WRITING!

Like what la weyh. As long as we understand the concept cukup la. Haaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!

EXPERIMENTS should be FUN.

REPORT WRITING should be SIMPLE but COMPREHENSIVE.

***

I'm hoping the internal marks from experiment could cover up for the low marks I get for tests and exams.. But..

Masih ada harapan. Selagi keputusan rasmi dari Australia belum diumumkan, selagi itu ada harapan. Oh semangatnya diriku terasa.

Salam to all.

Bila laptop rosak, baru kalut-kalut telefon cari ayah~

***
Yeay! My dad's coming to see me (and my broken laptop~ T.T)

hohoho! I dunno what's wrong with it. I hope its not virus or anything. To my laptop: Sorry sorry sorry! I know I'm not 'pengguna mithali' and I know I kinda 'overused' you... Sorry!! Jangan la merajukk~ Please come back to life!

I can still remember the day he 'officially' handed me the laptop and he said, 'Ha, jangan dok download bende entah apa-apa. Jaga elok-elok. Bukan murah ni..'

Oops! I did download a few stuff from the Internet. Mostly songs~ Well, who doesn't?

I wish I can tell everything to my dad. But there seem to be a barrier between us. I couldn't be myself in front of him. It's like I have to be really really baik and follow the house rules. I wish I could tell him how my day really went and how I feel about stuff. Sarah said that if your father loves you, he will cry at your wedding. Well, I dunno about the crying part but I know he loves me. And yeah, daddy, if you're reading this, I want you to know that I wish you could sing 'Butterfly Kisses' at my wedding~

No picture of my dad will ever be posted. He just doesn't like paparazzi. Haha.

Underground rules~ Yeah.

Happy father's day, daddy.

P/s: You know why I bought Romeo dad? It's because I want to hug you always!

A researcher once mentioned that if you resemble your dad, you will usually have the same 'perangai' and you tend to be a lil bit more sensitive to what your dad says.

And I said, Yup Mr. Researcher, it's so true.

Salam to all.

Best. Sebab dah hantar physix.
Petang ni ada meeting volunteers.
Malam ni nak kena buat 'MOTH'.
Esok ada olympiad pula. Takut. Tak prepare pun.
Lusa ada Tree Party.

Monday, a little bit of freedom.

Coming up:

MOTH.
Monash Sunway's interview 2nd July. <-- ingat tak birthday siapa hari tu?

My friend's grandparent passed away a few days back. Al-Fatihah.

Salam to all.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to melenting just now. It's just that I think I can make my own judgement and decision.

You know I won't inform you of anything until I filter every information and analyse every aspect of things. You know that whenever I ask for your permission means that that thing is being thoroughly thought. Transportation, company and all those stuff. You know right? A lot of things I didn't tell you because I know you would say no.

Of all the things in this world, I hate it when you're reluctant to let me do something. I know the value of mother's restu and yeah father's restu also. You know I won't go if you say no.

But when you say no at first and then after all the pujuk-ing and stuff you said yes, I feel like not going. I feel like not secured or something like that. I just hate that feeling.

Sorry mummy. Kakak tau mummy selalu risau and all. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I really am. But I know you're not reading this. From your tone just now I can guess you must be terasa with what I said.

Sorry daddy. So sorry. Never in my life I thought of going against what you said. But sometimes, I think my decision pun boleh pakai jugak. I think laaaa. You asked me to think righttt?

There's a hiking trip invitation from KDU. But I said, no thanks. See, I can make pretty good judgement what? I said no from the very beginning!

The Mount Nuang trip. I said to myself 'forget it' because I know you will say bahaya.

The Organic camp -although it's cancelled now-. I said to myself 'forget it' because i know you will say 'naik bas bahaya'.

The BLB thing. I said 'forget it' also because I know you will say 'nak pegi dengan siapa?'

****
Faiz(ah) dah ada blog. Cayalah faiz!!!! Ko dah makin maju laaaaaaaaa...

Dah la ko buat facebook dulu dari aku~ Hahahaha!

Bagus bagus.

Oh ye, terima kasih sebab ceriakan hidup aku balik malam ni dengan berita mengejutkan tu.

****

Banyak kerja sepatutnya disiapkan. Tetapi. Adoih.

Salam to all.

A great article. An eye-opener. Seriously.

"Ikhtilat. Maksudnya percampuran. Biasanya, kalimah ini digunakan, dengan merujuk kepada percampuran antara lelaki dan perempuan secara tidak syara’.

Ada seorang ‘bro’ ni, yang menggunakan nickname Mankind bertanya kepada saya:
“ salam..bro.Asyraf..ap pendpt kalau lelaki berkwn rpt dgn perempuan..salah ke?m’langgar ikhtilat ?.. sesetgh dr kami yg b’fikiran ‘cinta2 tu tidak d’janjikan…tp friendship itu pastilah’…tp sesetgh org m’mndang serong..kalau b’kwn b’lainan jantina. mcm berdosa besar..setiap kita memerlukan antra satu sama lain..sy susah btul nak hndle org mcm ni”

Saya sudah berjanji dengan Bro Mankind ni, untuk membicarakan hal yang dia tanyakan ini di dalam satu post khas. Biar semua orang boleh kongsi manfaatnya.

Maka Bro Mankind, izinkanlah ‘Bro Asyraf’ kamu ni menerangkan. Harapnya kita semua dapat buka hati kita dalam berkomunikasi dengan masalah ini ya. Yang benar itu tetap benar walaupun semua orang tidak suka, yang batil itu tetap batil walau seluruh dunia menyukainya.
Sebenarnya, percampuran lelaki dengan perempuan adalah amat dipandang berat oleh ISLAM. Tidak hairanlah jika kita tidak menjaga pergaulan kita dengan kaum berlawanan jenis, maka kita akan dipandang serong dan mungkin akan dikutuk cela.

ALLAH SWT berfirman: “ Dan janganlah kamu mendekati zina, sesungguhnya(zina) itu adalah satu perbuatan yang keji, dan jalan yang buruk” Surah Al-Israa’ ayat 32.

Ayat ini popular bukan? Selalu kita dengar orang melaung-laung ulang ayat ini bila hendak menceritakan hal kenapa dilarangnya bercampur lelaki dengan perempuan. Tetapi ramai yang membalas semula: “ Kami bukan nak berzina. Kami kawan je. Mana ada sentuh-sentuh.”
Tak mengapa. Kamu cerdik. Pandai kamu memberikan alasan. Saya tinggalkan dulu persoalan “ Kami bukan nak berzina” ini. Mari kita perhatikan terlebih dahulu, bagaimanakah ALLAH menitik beratkan pergaulan lelaki dan perempuan ini.

Kalau kita perhatikan, ayat larangan mendekati zina terletak di tengah-tengah Surah Al-Israa. Bukan di hadapan, bukan di belakang. Itu ayat melarang. Satu teguran, pesanan daripada ALLAH SWT untuk menyatakan buruknya zina itu. Ayat sebegitu diletak di tengah-tengah.
Mari kita selak Surah An-Nur.

Lihat, apa yang ALLAH SWT firmankan di awal surah itu:
“ Inilah satu surah yang KAMI turunkan dan KAMI wajibkan(menjalankan hukum-hukumnya), dan KAMI turunkan di dalamnya(surah ini) tanda-tanda(kebesaran ALLAH) yang jelas agar kamu tergolong dari kalangan orang yang beringat” Surah An-Nur ayat 1.

Lihat ayat seterusnya:
“ Penzina perempuan dan penzina lelaki, sebatlah kedua mereka dengan seratus sebatan, dan janganlah rasa belas kasihan kammu terhadap mereka bedua mencegah kamu untuk(menjalankan) agama(hukum) ALLAH, jika kamu beriman kepada ALLAH dan hari kemudian. Dan hendaklah(perlaksanaan) hukuman mereka disaksikan oleh sebahagian orang-orang yang beriman” Surah An-Nur ayat 2.

Pada ayat kedua, terus ALLAH SWT menyatakan hukuman zina. Tanpa ada mukaddimah yang panjang, tanpa menyatakan cara-cara menjauhi zina, ALLAH terus menarik perhatian manusia dengan menyatakan hukuman terlebih dahulu. Hal ini menunjukkan, betapa penting dan besarnya permasalahan zina ini...."

Current status - 'I put my full trust in Allah for He is Al-Hakim and Al-Alim'

She massaged her temple, trying to relieve a pain that wasn't really there. She sighed. And looked out her window into the night. It was starry, just the kind that she like. The moon, she noted, was hiding behind the cloud.

The craziness of the Maternity Ward still haven't receded and yet, she had to put up with another episode of DefCon 2. No, it's not like that, she comforted herself. I am prepared for all of this right?

*BUZZ*

AhMad Hafiz : Salam. Whassup? Looks like ur worried bout somethin'~
LadyInRed : Salam. Yeah, kinda, dunno.
AhMad Hafiz : One of ur lil patient die again?
LadyInRed : That's one of it. I noe that I'll get used to it one day, but today's obviously not the day.
AhMad Hafiz : Allah knows best.
LadyInRed : No doubt. Hey, why are you online tonight? No more of those 'savin' the world' projects?
AhMad Hafiz : Nah, all done. Fuh, I couldn't believe that I'm free!
LadyInRed : Yeah, good for you~
AhMad Hafiz : Hey, don't be sad. You still haven't told me what's really botherin' ya?
LadyInRed : Oh, bout that. Erm..

*BUZZ*
AhMad Hafiz : It's like an hour oready, kakak~ You still there?

She closed her eyes for the fifth time, inhaled, held her breath and slowly exhale. It's amazing how simple things like this can clear your mind, her dad used to say. But dad, it's definitely not working tonight~ and she began typing.

LadyInRed : I think we should stop all this.
AhMad Hafiz : Stop what?
LadyInRed : You know, all this messagin' and stuff. I feel erm..
AhMad Hafiz : Feel....?
LadyInRed : Ok, you know I'm not the kind of person who goes around the bush. So now I'm tellin' you this. I'm getting married.
AhMad Hafiz : Oh, that's great! You can wear all those wedding gowns that you love so much, haha!
LadyInRed : Yeah, and I've already booked a Radzuan Radziwill for the akad nikah, a Vera Wang for my reception, and I've even designed my own dress for the front cover of Cleo!
AhMad Hafiz : Oh, ic. That's why you're upset.. All of those fancy dresses' really gonna cost you a fortune~
LadyInRed : Yeah, yeah, whatever you say...
AhMad Hafiz : C'mon man, I'm just joking..
LadyInRed : Har. Har.
AhMad Hafiz : Sorry sorry. Shouldn't have said that. Ok, ok. If you wanna tell me, tell me, if not, as a friend, I totally understand.

Reverse psychology~ Heh.

LadyInRed : My mom and dad said yes without my knowledge.
AhMad Hafiz : Oh~
LadyInRed : And I have no reason to say no.
AhMad Hafiz : Uh huh.
LadyInRed : That's about it.
AhMad Hafiz : Dyou noe that guy?
LadyInRed : Nope. I told my parents not to tell me who he is.
AhMad Hafiz : Some kind of a protest?
LadyInRed : NO! It's just that everythin's happenin' so fast. It's too much for me to absorb! Just four months ago, I walked on this huge stage with all the lights blinding me, to get my MBBS that I worked on for six freakin' years! And now, as I just about to get used to the 'real' doctor's life, somethin bigger than the Queen Mary hit me! Oh, it feels good to smash these letters~
AhMad Hafiz : Hey, cool down okay? Do your breathing technique or somethin.

Sigh.

LadyInRed : Done.
AhMad Hafiz : Don't lie to me, kakak~

This guy can be so annoying, but she did what he said anyway.

AhMad Hafiz : Done?
LadyInRed : Yes, officer. Do you even need to see my licence?
AhMad Hafiz : Itsokay. With that Kancil of yours, the highest you can go would be 80kmph..
LadyInRed : Sorry sket. Kancil TURBO ok?
AhMad Hafiz : Haha, sorry my bad.

She looked for the moon again. This time, the moon is shining ever so brightly.
How to put an end to this?

LadyInRed : Erm, ok then. Nice talkin to ya all these while. Thanks for all those advice and stuff. Go on with your environmental and wildlife conservation projects, you have my full support! So... erm, Salam.
AhMad Hafiz : Just like that? You said goodbye just like that?
LadyInRed : Yeah, so?

She got a point, he thought. Good, I like that.

AhMad Hafiz : So..
LadyInRed : Can things be more complicated than this?
AhMad Hafiz : Yes. Nora, I have feelings for you.

Finally! He couldn't believe that he finally typed that.

A door creaked and shut. She's gone.

And he smiled.

***
Now for my uneding physix report and english presentation. All the crap just now is just to give me something to type without thinking whether it will be marked right or wrong. Of all the story, yeah, this theme is so LAME.

1. The fast-paced plot. How everything seemed to happen all at once. The 'treasure hunt'. The hunt for the Hassassin. The secrets.
2. The underground-ness of the Illuminati.
3. Elements of the latest advancement in science and technology.
4. The church and the Illuminati's opposing views on science.
5. How the author reveals the secret. I like his writing style.
   

What I dislike:

1. The long description of the setting. I kinda skipped some~
2. The part when the carmelengo run here and there.

Opinion (to fully understand what I'm saying,you have to finish the book first. Not applicable to the movie version -because I haven't seen the movie-):

1. The element of Christianity in this book is not, in my frank opinion, extreme. Yes, the whole book is talking about it but as long as you are not thinking too deeply or question your faith in Islam, I don't think this book would be a problem. As far as I can see, there are similarities between Christianity and Islam; the way both religion want their followers to be spiritually connected to The Creator. How logic cannot be put ahead of faith. How science should be guided so that it can truly benefit mankind without sparing humanity itself.
2. However, one major difference between the two religion is the approach to science. In this novel, the Catholic Church were being seen as the enemy of science because they were against scientific research that were thought to trigger diversion of their followers' faith. Islam on the other hand encourages scientific research with two main aims; to make people acknowledge and appreciate the near-perfectness of Allah's creation and to ease the lives of human being through the discovery of cure to diseases, for example. Even the first word that was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was 'Iqra''
3. I don't know if Vittoria's research about how the marine animals seem to have some form of invisible communication method (something like that) is true or not, but the point is this. The world is full of wonders, we just have to help them reveal themselves.
4. However, the idea of Science as a new religion is absurd. Humans are not robots, or durian trees or white tigers. We are simply not a bunch of different atoms combined together. We have soul and we have A Creator. Food feeds the body, knowledge feeds the mind but what about our soul, the single most important thing that differentiates us from a robot, durian tree and white tiger? Like billions of girls worldwide, of course I experience 'the time of the month' or 'the period of disintegration of the linings of the vaginal walls' to put in scientific terms. For you who do not know, we Muslimat (Muslim ladies) are not permitted to perform the prayer, fast or read the Holy Quran during that period. Thus, I'm able to compare the feelings during the time when I can pray and the time when I cannot. And I do feel some kind of emptiness when I'm not performing the prayers or recite the Quran~ Ask yourself (if you're a Muslimah) or ask your Muslimat friends. I'm quite certain they would give the same answer.
5. I question the idea of using an Arab man as the Hassassin. The Hassassin, for one thing is depicted as ruthless, amative and easy to be fooled. Was the writer (or perhaps some other party with hidden agenda) trying to make a silent statement? Of course the book did mention about the origin of the word 'Hassassin' but I'm seriously not convinced that that is the real reason.
6. Islam is a religion that does not go against human nature. Islam does not kill human's desire to love and be loved by people of the opposite gender. Even if you are the Imam of the Masjidil Haram, you're allowed to marry and have a family. Frankly, I think, if this is the case, all the craziness and killings in the story would never even be plotted.
7. Rome and Vatican City are the living proof that huge amount of money can be generated from historical assets. Malaysia should make them as an example.

All in all, I think this book is a great boredom killer.

Part of studying physics is to know the definition of its terms. So we have acceleration, which means delta velocity over delta time. Velocity, delta displacement over delta time. And displacement is not necessarily equals to distance.

Defining physics terms has become a critical part of understanding the subject as a whole. You need to know what 'vector quantity' means to explain why an object moving in a constant speed in a circular motion has acceleration. Lets leave physics behind and proceed to my main point, shall we?

Why not we modify the statement above into 'Defining life terms has become a critical part of understanding life as a whole'.

What do you think of that?

Salam to all.

Salam to all.

Dalia showed me this video just now. I've heard the song before although the video that comes with it was different. Thank you Ustazah Wan.

I feel bad because I complained soooo much about SAM and studying in general. I realised that the jihad I'm facing is less demanding than what the Muslims of the past face.

The song is truly inspiring. Nine hours to class. Yeay!

Salam to all.

My God, it's Sunday. Ten minutes to 3am.

And my class is in 30 hours time.

Thank you, D. Archie. =)

You've brighten up my day..

So much for a daydream.

Salam to all.

Went for a walk with my mom just now. Just me and my mom.She said she's not feeling that well. The walk's suppose to trigger the heart to pump faster, which leads to faster blood flow and thus more oxygen into the bloodstream. Supposably to make her feel better. Wah, revising biology today, huh?

Walk. Walk. Walk. With Miley, David Archie and Evan Taubenfeld's song playing on my handphone's mp3. Mild wind, love it so much.

Talk. Talk. Talk. My mom said that when I was a kid, (I AM still a kid, okay?) a small helpless child, it was hard to tuck me into bed (Now's like the TOTAL opposite!). But one quick solution was to take me jalan-jalan in the car. Just after a few rounds, POOF, I'm a sleeping beauty. But sometimes, the sleep doesn't last long... Out of the car and I'm on my feet again (Okay, I'm not sure if I can walk that time~)

She proposed two theories about this. First, the 'Air Cond theory'. I'm a person who loves a cool atmosphere and the short jalan-jalan in the car provided this. And so, I fall asleep easily in a car. The second theory is the 'Tyre theory'. She said that as the car moves, the tyre rotates (Oh God, my sister's making noise with her guitar right now..... I know la she's upset about something but please be considerate laaaaaaa) and somehow the rotation will create a certain wave and that wave actually creates the 'high' feeling.. Hmm.. Interesting theory, don't you think?

I came to realise how hard it was to raise me. She said that I always got admitted, almost like once every month. The nurses even noticed the regularity of our stay at the hospital.. And the hospital was in the heart of Georgetown, approximately half an hour from my house, plus minus the jam and everything. Of course I don't recall any of those, I was so young at that time. But I remembered the time when I had this terrible cough (bronchitis maybe?) and I had to be given the gas everytime I cough (you know, the gas through the mask.. I don't know what it's called). And in the middle of the night, I coughed and my dad drove us to the hospital..

Oh, gotta go now. Dinner. Don't wanna spoil this writing mood so I still want to post this..

Salam to all.

If it's a thing that I can hold in my hands,
I would have kill it.

Because the dead cannot be re-lived,
Until the Day of Judgement.

Because sooner or later it'll kill me,
And I don't want to die in vain.

Die a useless death,
Lose the biggest battle of the given time.

I hate it, I just hate it!
Just go away, I don't want you here!

You're never invited,
Just go away, I don't want you here!

Oh, how I really wish you're a thing I could hold in my hands,
Because I'm tired and I want to kill you now.
Can't all the place in the world be like Almashoor?

Salam to all.

If you're looking at my current YM status, it says 'Waaaaarrggggggh! Esok dah kena balik' or 'Waaaaarrgggggh! I have to go back tomorrow' in case you don't understand Bahasa Malaysia. (macam la ada foreigner yang baca blog ni~)

Anyway, let's look at the things I have and have not achieved during this 2-week break.

Achieved! ^.^

1. Obtained green light from Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) to drive a 'motokar tidak melebihi 3000kg' in Malaysia. In other words, Yeahhhh! Aku dah ada lesen! Alhamdulillah..
2. Reached 80kmph, the highest speed achievable when driving a Kancil using the 4th gear. Wahahahaha! 80kmph only you said? Well, wait first la.. relax relax dulu.. baru dapat lesen mana boleh terus bawa 100kmph++.. Wait till I drive at the Autobahn la.. Baru best!
3. Chess- won all four games against my brother. (He keeps calling me a 'chicken', you know.. So who's the 'chicken' now huh????)
4. Finished 'The Client'.
5. Finally uploaded the Islamic Studies video. After so many months~ (thanks to Amiir)

Not achieved~ -.-"

1. Physix report - adeh.
2. English presentation - adoiyh.
3. Lose 2 kilo. <--bajet boleh turun 2 kilo... Duduk rumah punyala makan sedap-sedap, ditambah pula dengan gaya hidup seperti seekor 'sloth' berkaca mata yang mengadap komputer riba hampir 18 jam sehari.. hmm..
4. I thought of changing the design of my blog but all of them looks 'serabut'. So, I maintain the 'dull but clean' look.
5. Almashoor reunion. sob.sob...

Whatever it is, the challenge of the third and the last semester awaits me. Interviews (hopefully), PQA, english and physix presentations, Olympiad, quizzes, trial exam (September) and last but not least 'la finale' (November).

(Current song playing in my head- I'm not missing you- dedicated to CASA Subang Apartment and the guards~)

Sekian. Berita dilaporkan.

Salam to all.

Today's theme: JayTwoOhEight~

Tempat lepak sebelum kelas bermula. Location: Meja Bulat Tepi Web. Sarah memang takkan lekang dengan phone dia.. Percayalah. Thanks Athirah and Dalia... Korang je yang sudi tengok kamera phone aku yang tak seberapa ni~ Sob.Sob.

Mr. Yap, chemistry lecturer. Signature tagline : 'For FUN!' =)

Dalam lif CASA. Havoc giler. Haha! (Teh boleh jadi model iklan Colgate!)

Majlis Berbuka Puasa J208. Haha, we conquered Hassan! (Tengok Zaty, memang semangatlah dia makan!) Location: Restoran Hassan. Recommended to all. Offers a lot of choices. Note: Pancake dan Iced Chocolate dia memang sedap!

Fermentation Experiment . Nampaknya Zubet (kanan) sangat gembira dan nampak sedikit seperti arnab, wahaha! Dalia menutup telinganya takut-takut kalau round-bottomed flask tu meletup dek ketawa Zubet~

Sekian.

Salam to all.

Thanks Kay Ay and Amii !!!
Terharu, isk isk~~

Orait, the tag.

Write 5 things about your tagger.

Amii:

Amiirah (left) and Niny with 5 Uranium's math project..

1. She likes to move her hands when she talks. Especially when there's a big thing/news. Seriously.. But her hands can do magic I tell you! Once she got a pen in her hand, she will either write with her signature font or doodle her signature doodle. An expert in cardmaking. Memory Lane should employ her. Seriously.
2. You definitely don't wanna make her angry. I've seen it and it ain't pretty.. She's both a worrier and an optimistic person. It's amazing how she can be both.
3. The word 'panda' has something to do with her.. That's why I dedicate that panda on the right to her..
4. She used to wear braces. Haha! Wears spectacles too. Without it, her eyes gonna look so sepet..
5. Her english is superb! And oh, if you read Blitz, articles signed off by 'Double I' are hers.

Kay Ay :

Kay Ay standing proudly next to 5 Uranium's 'BOOM it Beyond The Limit' banner. Somehow, I miss SPM, and Langkawi and my classmates~



1. Obsessed with anything related to money. Proof: he's the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Prodigy Sdn. Bhd, Honorary Treasurer of Rumah Jupiter and God knows what else..
2. Loves history and politics. He can talk about it for hours. Seriously, but I enjoy listening to him telling all those things.. When he's not speaking like 'lalat' of course..
3. Wears spectacles. Without it, his eyes will be sepet-er than Amii's.
4. Used to be thin (Based on his PMR Graduation photo). But the last time I saw him (two months ago, I think), he is the opposite. Wahaha..
5. He's a good cook. (Or so he said~)
   

10 things about the tagee -is there such word?- or the person being tagged.

1. Can be happy or mad about the silliest stuff.
2. Loves sambal tumis but not sambal belacan.
3. Would love to get a keyboard for birthday.
4. 'Syazwany' means 'kecergasanku' or energetic. Well, I guess it shows,huh?
5. 'Wany' on the other hand means 'mutiara' or pearl. Since it has a good meaning, I don't mind people calling me Wany... I got so used to it that one day, I felt weird when Syafiq called me 'Syazwany, Syazwany!'
6. Believes that fairytale love story does exist in this modern world.
7. Maximum wpm ever reached - 113. Average wpm - 62
8. Suffers from 'Last song syndrome'
9. Loves certain type of children.
10. I'm seriously not born an actress. I just couldn't stop from laughing in front of the camera..

Salam to all.

Ya Allah, please give me strength to wake myself and other people up in order to fulfill the second pillar of Islam. Amiin.



The hadith at the end of the video:

Abu Hurairah (R.A.A.) relates that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) said: When a person goes under sound sleep the Satan ties three knots at the nape of his neck (where it touches the head) reciting some spell over each of these knots i.e. there is enough of the night go on sleeping. If he wakes up and remembers Allah, one of these knots is untied. Then if he gets up and makes ablution, another one is loosened. If he offers his prayer, then the remaining third knot is loosened. Thus he faces his morning quite fresh and is in a cheerful mood. Otherwise he gets up in an unpleasant, dull and lethargic mood. (Bukhari and Muslim)

Hadith taken from: http://www.islamicbulletin.org/newsletters/issue_9/prophet.aspx

Satan ties knots in your head while you sleep -- Sahih Buhari-- Volume 4, Book 54, Number 491:

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "During your sleep, Satan knots three knots at the back of the head of each of you, and he breathes the following words at each knot, 'The night is, long, so keep on sleeping,' If that person wakes up and celebrates the praises of Allah, then one knot is undone, and when he performs ablution the second knot is undone, and when he prays, all the knots are undone, and he gets up in the morning lively and gay, otherwise he gets up dull and gloomy. "

Hadith taken from this site: http://www.balaams-ass.com/alhaj/satan.htm

Note: The REAL meaning of GAY is cheerfulness, bright and lively, okay?

Yup, force. And then, at the part where there's lots of dialogue, I realised that I can understand the story, got hooked and I read it till the end. So much for an intro, haha.

Anyway, back to the review. If you wanna know the synopsis, please click on the link. I can tell you my version of the synopsis, but I think it'll gonna be very, very long.. haha.

Plot- 4 out of 5.The plot's somethin' like the blue graph. It started slow but gained momentum as the story proceeds. The climax was somewhere nearing the end and like the graph, the story ended in an abrupt way. I like the ending but I would prefer if it's a bit longer. It could have made me cry~

Suspense -4 out of 5. Favourite suspense scenes: Mark in the car, the switchblade, the escape, the hunt for the body.

Language - 3.5 out of 5. Quite a number of techincal law terms. Overall language : Somewhat managable without a dictionary. Guessing the meaning of unfamiliar words is fine but cross-reference with dicts is encouraged.

Message - 4.5 out of 5. Be smart, strong and street-wise like Mark. Be smart and firm like Reggie. Be open like Judge Roosevelt.

Romance - 0 out of 5. Seriously. No romantic scene at ALL.

Overall score: 4 out of 5.

Recommended to all! You will definetly love Mark and Reggie!
