How much is Panipuri at Dharisha store on Chowpatty? Who stole constable Varmy's bicycle?

2011-04-05T01:09:00.000-07:00

Assalamulaikum.

Jamal couldn't answer a simple question of "what is written underneath the national emblem of India?" where it is thought that every Indian should know.

Police Inspector 1 : My five-year old daughter can answer that question, but you couldn't.

Jamal: How much is Panipuri at Dharisha store on Chowpatty?

Police Inspector 1: What?

Jamal : Panipuri. One plate. How much?

Police Inspector 2: -10 Rupees.
Jamal: -Wrong

Jamal : 15 since Diwali

Jamal: Who stole Constable Varmy's bicycle?

Police Inspector 1: You know who that was?

Jamal: Everyone in Juhu knows that.

Jamal: Even five year olds

When we don't know, we ask. Sometime when we ask a simple question, that from the perspective of the listener(s) is something that everyone should know, they would look down on us, feel annoyed and would probably make fun of us.

Well, do you know "how much is Panipuri at Dharisha store on Chowpatty?" "Do you know who stole constable Varmy's bicycle?"

I'm sorry if I don't know the answer to that simple question. At least I have the courage to ask and have the need to know.

I am weak

Assalamualaikum ...

I was looking back at my previous posts in this blog, and I find that I am really weak with my grammar. Some of them are simple mistakes. I envy those who can write really well.

For the post to come, I hope readers would help me on correcting my mistakes.

Thank You~

Assalamualaikum ...

It has been a long time since the last post ... is posted? (hoho)

I am currently watching School Rumble the anime series. It is such a waste that I have never really watch it before and enjoy it because the series is seriously good; epic humor, great expression, good drama, etc.

As usual I would pick some memorable quotes from anything that I've watch/listen/read so that people would get something from it.

If you have problems doing something because you are bothered by another thing;

Penjaga Keselamatan Yang Bengang Dengan Aku

2010-04-05T05:54:00.000-07:00

Ext. Luar Pagar Universiti Islam Antarabangsa - Malam

SYAUKAT dalam perjalanan pulang dari berjoging dan makan malam di restoran yang berhampiran dengan bertemankan pemain MP3nya. Dia menghampiri pintu pagar universitinya dan meluru ke arah PENJAGA KESELAMATAN 1 yang berpakaian unifom lengkap ditugaskan untuk mengawal pagar tersebut dengan harapan Penjaga Keselamatan 1 tersebut akan meminta pengesahan yang dia merupakan seoprang pelajar di kampus itu.

Syaukat berjoging dengan perlahan masuk ke dalam pagar, tetapi kelihatan Penjaga Keselamatan 1 tersebut sibuk melakukan tugasnya, lalu Syaukat pun meneruskan perjalananya untuk ke dalam kampus.

Penjaga Keselamatan 1
(dalam nada yang samar-samar) nk ... mana tu?

Syaukat terberhenti kerana merasakan ada orang memanggil dia. Dia mencabut earphone yang disumbatkan di telinganya dan memandang ke arah Penjaga Keselamatan 1.

Syaukat
Amende?

Penjaga Keselamatan 1
Nak gi mana tu? (geram)

Syaukat
Masuk ah ...

Penjaga Keselamatan 1
Ko sini jap ... (bengang)

Syaukat
(terpinga-pinga)

Syaukat berjalan ke arah Penjaga Keselamatan 1 seperti yang diminta dan mengeluarkan Kad Matriknya yang akan mengesahkan bahawa dia merupakan penuntut di institut tersebut.

Penjaga Keselamatan 1 melihat kad matrik tersebut kemudian memandang Syaukat

Penjaga Keselamatan 1
Kamu ni takda budi bahasa ya. (lagi bengang)

Syaukat
huh? (pelik)

Penjaga Keselamatan 1
Saya tanya kamu nak pergi mana, kamu jawab lebih kurang jerk. Cakapla saya pelajar dari sini, pastu tunjukla kad matrik.

Syaukat
(diam mendengar kata-kata Pengawal Keselamatan 1)

Syaukat hanya mampu senyap, kemudian beredar untuk meneruskan perjalananya. Belum sempat dia memasang pemain MP3nya kembali dia terdengar;

Penjaga Keselamatan 1
Sini jap.

Syaukat pergi ke arah Penjaga Keselamatan 1.

Penjaga Keselamatan 1
Masuk sini jap

Penjaga Keselamatan 1 menunding ke arah pondok pengawal yang berhampiran.

Tanpa membantah suruhan Penjaga Keselamatan 1, Syaukat masuk ke dalam pondok tersebut.

Int. Pondok Penjaga Keselamatan - Malam

Di dalam, terdapat 3 LAGI Penjaga Keselamatan. PENJAGA KESELAMATAN 2, berpakaian unifom lengkap duduk menghadap komputer sambil mendengar lagu. PENJAGA KESELAMATAN 3 berpakaian separa lengkap dengan kemeja-T sedang duduk berborak dengan mereka yang lain. PENJAGA KESELAMATAN 4 sedang berehat di atas sofa di ruangan belakang.

Syaukat menuju ke arah Penjaga Keselamatan 2 kerana dia merasakan yang inilah orang yang patut dijumpa.

Penjaga Keselamatan 1
Saman dia ni ... rambut tu ... (seperti berbisik tetapi nada tetap bengang)

Penjaga Keselamatan 1 menutup pintu pondok, dan meneruskan kerjanya di luar

Penjaga Keselamatan 2
Mintak Kad Matrik.

Syaukat menghulurkan Kad Matriknya kepada Penjaga Keselamatan 2. Penjaga Keselamatan 2 mengambil Kad Matrik daripada Syaukat dan mengesahkan ia dengan menggunakan komputer yang berada di hadapannya.

Penjaga Keselamatan 2
Pelajar Master, takkan tatau lagi peraturan kat sini.

Penjaga Keselamatan 3
Bukannya kami suruh botak macam ni. (mengusap2 kepalanya yang botak)

Penjaga Keselamatan 1 muncul di hadapan kaunter cermin pondok.

Penjaga Keselamatan 1
Saman dia ni. (menunding jari ke arah Syaukat)

Penjaga Keselamatan 1 beredar untuk meneruskan kerjanya.

Penjaga Keselamatan 2
Dah, ni last warning...

Penjaga Keselamatan 2 mencatit nombor Matrik daripada Kad Matrik, dan memberikannya kembali kepada Syaukat.

Syaukat mengambil kembali Kad Matriknya.

Syaukat
Terima kasih

Syaukat keluar dari pondok pengawal kemudian cepat-cepat beredar dari situ.

Syaukat melihat ke arah lubang untuk pili paip yang ada di dalam pondok tersebut, dimana terdapat beberapa puntung rokok. Dia hanya mampu berdiam diri kerana walaupun tidak besar dan tidak jelas tetapi dia tetap bersalah kerana memiliki rambut yang panjang dan bengang terhadap Penjaga Keselamatan 1 yang jelas bertindak mengikut emosinya.

Syaukat (monolog)

Bukannya panjang sangat rambut aku. Ala-ala Shah Rukh Khan je. Aku tau ko memang bertindak ikut perasaan. Bukannya aku nak bersikap kurang hajar dengan ko, tidak sama sekali dalam hati aku terditik untuk biadap dengan orang tua. Aku berlari ke arah ko supaya ko boleh tegur aku dan aku boleh tunjuk Kad Matrik aku. Tapi ko tak tengok pun. Aku da lepas ke depan da baru ko nak panggil. Sekali lagi, bukannya aku nak biadap dengan ko, tapi aku tak dengar, aku tengah dengar MP3 aku. Ko da sound aku camtu aku senyap je la. Sumpah kalo korang saman aku time tu, aku akan ungkitkan pasal puntung rokok yang ada dalam pondok tersebut.

Brothers (2009) -may contain spoilers-

2010-03-26T15:31:00.000-07:00

IMDB rating : 7.4/10

A great movie about brotherhood, family and war. I think these kinds of quality movies about war just show how Americans hate war. Even though there are scenes that make people from Afghanistan look bad, but that's how it is; how American see them, how children are taught. The part in Afghanistan may seem ... bad; I think the intention is to show how cruel war can be. Tobey Macguire & Jake Gyllenhaal are great, and not to forget Natalie Portman who is more matured now having to act as a mother.

Colourism

2010-01-15T05:08:00.001-08:00

Assalamualaikum....

Colourism is a term that is used to show prejudice in terms of the person's skin colour. The term is quite new and it has not been define by anyone yet (I believe so). If we were to search in the open based Encyclopedia (Wikipedia), the term Colorism is still under discussion and most of the articles were not correctly cited (not to mention it falls under "extremely poor article").

Discrimination among human beings in accordance with their skin colour can be seen in America when they are on their way to accept the African as American. During that period the Americans who are fair/pale skinned (Anglo) stands as the majority and the ruling power of America. The Africans who are dark skinned were of course treated differently for being a different race, classes, etc.

In addition to the discrimination of race, dark-skinned people were discriminated with the tone colour of their skin. Meaning to say that the darker you are the more discrimination you will get. They point this as the "Brown Paper Bag Test", where they will use the colour of the brown paper bag as an indication of your skin colour complexion. Those who are darker than the paper bag will not able to attend the party or any other social events that uses this kind of test during that period. Previously in Wikipedia, it also mentions about the test being done to enter the Harvard University, but that part of the article have been removed.

Even in other countries, as a result of the colonization of the Anglo white-skinned people, fair/pale/white-skinned people are being look upon and were seen as more beautiful than those who are darker. This can be seen in my own country Malaysia, India, etc. As a result, beauty product that will make your skin fairer were created and sold to make our skin fairer and "beautiful".

(my opinion) I think Colourism does not only applies to dark-skinned people because of the Black Albino cases in Africa. Albinos in Africa were hunted and killed as they said that their body parts are very valuable in witchcraft. They were also seen as bringers of bad luck in their community.

I hope that the there will be more research in the study of Colourism. I am looking into the possibility about the view of the "colour" itself in relation with the colour of the skin; does the view that light/fair/white imagery is positive and dark/black imagery is negative (for example we have a hero that dresses in white and a villain in black) can reflect to the colour of the skin.

I will also try to look upon this matter in the Islamic point of view. Findings will be posted in the next post.

Muallaf

2010-01-03T17:41:00.000-08:00

Assalamualaikum ...

The last post about the movie Muallaf is actually a contest, where I have to post something about the movie to get passes to watch the "Grand Premiere" of it in Malaysia (haha). Yes I did got the passes (4) ; Sapick, xLANx, Fader Mariano and me had a good time watching it (it's free).

The movie is good with lots of things to think about, especially about religion. It is rated certificate 18PL, for its contents being unsuitable for those who are not matured enough. I agree with the rate, but I do not understand why it should be banned.

There's no big issue to be controversial. The movie does not promote religious pluralism as some claims it to be. The masturbating scene was totally harmless (there may not be even such a scene if one would view it).

My friend said that maybe the reason why the movie is banned in Malaysia is because of the statement Rohani (Sharifah Amani) said about why alcohol are not banned in the country since it only brings bad things. Politic wise, the statement may offend the government.

Overall it's nice to buy the DVD as a collection. I like TaleNTime better.

p/s: tak sempat nak amik gambar dengan Sharifah Amani.

Yasmin Ahmad's Muallaf premieres in Malaysian screen in 2009

After one year of waiting, after hearing stuff about the movie, finally Muallaf will be premiering in Malaysian screens on 24th December 2009. The movie had already premiered in Singapore more than a year ago (27th November 2008). I have doubt whether this is actually a Malaysian or Singaporean made movie (actually the movie involves both MHZ Film from M'sia & The Picturehouse from S'pore)

I don't know how the movie manage to be screening in Malaysia after failing to pass the Malaysian censorship authorities. I heard that there is a masturbating scene in the movie (maybe some sex education from our dear Yasmin Ahmad). I hope that Yasmin's fifth movie will be as great as the others. And Sharifah Amani, don't fail me... huhu ....

p/s: the next post will be the review of the movie.

Mackinac (MAK-in-aw) Island and horses is a better place.

2009-12-13T18:36:00.000-08:00

Peace be upon awak~!

Mackinac Island

This is my ideal place to live. Mackinac (pronounced as Mackinaw) Island situated in the islands of Michigan U.S.A is a popular tourist attraction.

The best thing about this island is that it bans all kinds of motor vehicles except for the ones that are really needed (snowmobiles during winter, service vehicles and emergency vehicles). The island's occupants uses horses and bicycles as the main form of transportation.

I have discussed with my dad about making the world a better place by replacing cars and other motors vehicles with horses, but my dad said that it's not possible because the cost of having a horse is much more expensive than a car. Buying a horse is costly enough, maintaining, caring, etc bills is another thing.

I still believe that having horses are better than cars. Yes it is costly to have (buy) a horse nowadays. It's just because the production of horses are less than cars which makes horses more rare. When it's rare, the things to maintain it will also be rare, so does the production of it. When things are rare they'll become expensive, so does things like the spare-parts of a Ford car in Malaysia or the spare-parts of other mega expensive cars.

Somehow we just need to start to use horses again. We just have to start using it step by step. It will be very costly at the beginning, but when horses are produced in a large number (I'm not stating that horses are produce like machinery huhu) it will be affordable to us in the future.

I'm not against motor vehicles in all as some of it are really in need of use such as the ambulance, heavyweights lorries, etc. But having to cut most of the normal motor vehicles will indeed save the earth.

Go green.

Taxi-ani (two Taxis)

2009-10-09T17:11:00.000-07:00

Here's a story about two different taxi drivers that I've encounter with. I'll try to write it as a play.

------------

Boy, Man, Malay Taxi Driver (M.T.D), Chinese Taxi Driver (C.T.D)

A teenage boy, standing and waiting for a taxi to town. Came one; a Malay driver in his 30s. The boy enters.

Boy : Bandar ya

M.T.D : Okay.

The trip is not far. Silence accompanies them as they went on the road to reach the destination. The fee is RM1.

Boy: (opens up his wallet, hands the driver a RM5 note) Nah ...

M.T.D : (looks for change) Isshh ... takde duit pecah la (looks again)

Boy : (looks again in his wallet, trying to find coins as substitute) Takde gak ni ... camane ya?

M.T.D : (still looking for change while putting on a thinking face) Kire halal la ek? takde duit pecah ni (smiles)

Boy : (blurs) Ah ... Okay ... (exits the taxi)

M.T.D : (drives away)

(Time move slowly)

Boy (monologue) : Celaka betol ... kena rembat duit aku ... senang betul aku kne tipu ... baik sangat ke aku ni? macam sial rembat duit orang macam tu ... celaka.

Lights off
Lights on

A man walking towards a long queue of taxi. He stops at the one in front of a Chinese driver ones looking in his 50s. He opens the door passenger's seat door. It won't open.

C.T.D : (points towards the backseat)

Man : (opens up the backseat) Wangsa Walk?

C.T.D : Siffllas sd (slurs)
Man : (enters taxi) Mende tadi?

C.T.D : Sila masuk (pushes the meter button on)

Man : Wangsa Walk ya ... Brape ringgit ah?

C.T.D : Tak jauh pun ... lima ringgit pun tak makan.

Destination reached. The meter indicates that it's RM3.80. Two Malay boy is looking towards the taxi outside of it.

Man : (opens his wallet, he only have two RM1 notes and a RM50 note) Takde pecah la ... (hands the driver a Rm50 note)

C.TD : Aiyooh ... takde pecah la (check in his pocket and counts his money for change) tak cukup laa ... (checks again)

Man : (checks his wallet and bag for any possible changes that can be use) ... takde duit kecik la ... camane ya?

C.T.D : takpela (smiles) bagi je dua ringgit ...

Man : isshh ... mana boleh camtu (looks around if there's any shops for change, there ain't any)

C.T.D : takpe, takpe ... saya drive jauh boleh dapat passenger lagi ...

Man : Betol ke ni? Minta maaf sangat-sangat (shakes hands with the driver)
C.T.D : betol ... takpe-takpe ...

The two boys standing outside comes closer to the taxi and signalling the taxi driver for a ride.

C.T.D : haa tengok suda ade passenger ... tak rugi pun ... (smiles)

Man : Terima kasih banyak-banyak ya ... minta maaf skali lagi ... (exits the taxi smiling)

Lights off

-----------

That's the story of my experience taxi riding with two different kind of driver that I'd value the memories. To be honest, I'm quite ashame with the Malay driver as a Malay myself. I always thought that Chinese would be stingy on money (I know it's prejudice). because of this I will never again view people in stereotypes.

For the Chinese Taxi Driver, I really thank you for your hospitality and generosity. Even though it's just 10 minutes ride, I will remember it for the rest of my life.

As for the Malay Taxi Driver, I don't like the way you treat me, but I do thank you for the experience you gave me because it has made me a different person. Thank you.

May God bless you both.

p/s: I would love to take a ride in Robert de Niro's taxi. (Taxi Driver 1976)

Kampung Life Part 2 (raya + explicit)

2009-10-03T10:37:00.000-07:00

Assalamualaikum ...

This Raya I want to show pictures of rendang making at my home in Kuantan (how to make rendang our style).

It starts with selecting the right knife (to slaughter the chickens of course). The knife must be extra sharp as to make the slaughtering process easier and less suffering for the chickens.

As we get our hands on the chickens (8 of them) we will start slaughtering them one by one.

Slaughtering a chicken is not an easy thing as we must grab/hold/pinch the right ... thing and slaughter/slice/potong the right part of the neck. The process must be done in haste as slowing it may cause more sufferings to the animal.

After doing that, we will let the animal to die at peace before we pick them to pluck the feathers.

The following image may be disturbing.

Note that we must ensure that it is really dead before we pick it up. Here's one which took so long to die. I had to chop of the head later because my father said that it'll only cause it more suffering if it remains alive like that.

When you are sure that it is really dead then you can dip/rendam in boiling hot water to pluck the feathers easier. This is the part that I hated the most in making rendang.

We have to ensure that all the feathers are plucked because ... how would you feel if there's still feathers on a KFC Dinner Plate?

After that we'll remove the intestines.

While removing the intestines we can find eggs which were not layed yet (the white one) and even eggs which are not yet to become eggs -erk?- (the orange ones) This one you cannot find it in stores/pasar malam.

The you'll cut it to pieces and wash it.

Next we have to get some coconut milk . This the tool used to rip open the cocunut.

Just poke the thing in and rip it open. After ripping off the outer layer, we'll smash/cut the cocunut into half and ... get it processed to get the coconut milk/santan.

After done cutting/slicing/blending the onions,spices, etc we'll set up the place to cook the rendang.

Here's the ingredient from afar . The coconut milk is poured in when the other ingredients are well mixed.

Half way there after pouring the santan/coconut milk. Sorry I forgot to capture the picture of the finished ones.

Here's a picture taken from the net of how the chicken rendang would look like.

Selamat Hari Raya ...

A unique ketupat brought by my aunt. A Ketupat made using (tq teyhah) Pitcher Plant/Periuk Kera.

My dad says that this banana is called Pisang Tanduk/Horn Banana. I never knew that it can get until this big.

MUSE - Uprising

2009-09-13T10:46:00.000-07:00

Well, it's the most awaited new single from British rockers Muse
They've been quite in hiatus since their last release, "Black Holes and
Revelations" last 2006. It's been 3 years and with "Uprising", they
signal the release of their comeback album titled "The Resistance". The
band's latest album will be released on September 7

Speaking of the song, it's intro is kind of an interlude as it started
almost a minute into the 5-minute new summer anthem. The effortless
rhythmical arrangement of synthesizers in the beginning of the song is
brilliant. Besides of the infectious "come-on" chants in the
background, there's nothing that "new" in the track. It is still the
same Muse we knew since the early 2000s. The spike and attitude is
still there, and I'm quite envisioning the video to the song. It's
something like a fusion of U2 and Keane, which is quite positive

In conclusion, it's 5-minute combination of a much efforted ingenuity
from one of the greatest bands of the 21st century

Catch the single when it comes out on September 7, 2009. The group has
been also confirmed of a stint at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards

Danger of Lying

2009-09-12T03:05:00.001-07:00

I fell off(tq xLANx) a motorcycle at Greenwood once, riding with my friend. Me and my friend have some minor injuries and were treated at the IIUM clinic. I didn't tell my parents about this because they have warned(tq xLANx) me not to ride on a motorcycle whatever the case is (they're motorcycle-phobic).

Somehow the news got to my parents, but in a different version. I don't know how the news spread but what reached my parents is that I've been in an accident and I'm in the hospital with my arm broken.

See how things turn out when someone lied.

This might sound totally absurd but think about it : You know that Charles Darwin told us that humans are the descendants of apes. One day if someone tells(tq xLANx) (lying as a joke) that we actually evolve from frogs, as the frog prince fairy tale were not just created without a cause, people might just believe it and discuss about it (we have the whole theorist and philosopher convention on this), thus create another theory of evolution concerning frogs.

I know the example given sounds silly but look wider on how a simple lie can change the whole story ad how a lie that is intended as a joke can change the world.

The Butterfly Effect.

The Prophet (PBUH) "forbade Muslims from lying even if they do so only as a joke, in order to make others laugh."

Satan in Chains (Ramadan)

2009-09-01T05:42:00.000-07:00

We have been told that Satan are chained during the Ramadan month. So, there won't be any haunting ghost around and that we're safe from them.

Abu Hurairah, (may Allah be pleased with him) quoted the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as saying: “When the month of Ramadan comes, the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of the Hellfire are closed, and the devils are chained.” (Reported by al-Bukhari)

We (Muslim) know that Satan is the cause of all evil things. So why are there still sins committed if Satan is actually locked up or chained in the month of Ramadan.

I've asked this question in an IRK (Islamic Revealed Knowledge) class during my undergraduate studies. The lecturer said that we should not take the Hadith literally. By that she means that the Satans are not actually or literally chained but were chained due to our religious deeds (Amal) ; fasting, sunat terawikh ,etc.

I do 100% agree with her explanations. I agree with her that the Satans are not literally chained. Why do we still have sinners in the month of Ramadan if they are actually locked up.

It is our job to lock them up. I prefer to chain them because it sounds cooler (nonsense hehe).

p/s: when I refer to Satan it would include devils, ghosts, djinns, etc.

Selamat Berpuasa, Happy Fasting.

May Allah S.W.T be with you. Amin

An Idea of Maturity

2009-08-23T00:41:00.000-07:00

Once my cousin came to my place and ask my dad about marriage. They were young and they asked about whether they are old enough to marry.

My dad's response is "if you find classic musics as to be good to your ears, that means that you're matured enough".

I do agree with my dad's statement and even though it might not be 100% true, it does reflect your maturity in a way.

As for the music, those singers and musicians would tend to produce music that reflect their age and maturity. Look at Lady Gaga and Dave Matthews Band.

I would say that I'm not that matured as I do love 3OH!3 but I also love Elvis Presley (Suspicious Mind).

p/s: I'm envious of my friends who are getting married.

The Exorcist (1973) Never Trust The Devil (part 2)

2009-07-17T22:10:00.000-07:00

Assalamualaikum wbt.

It has been a while since the last time I posted something. I am really sorry because I am still busy with CPS, classes, etc. But from time, I will try to find some to post something on this blog.

Here's another meaningful quotes from the movie The Exorcist (1973) :

Father Merrin and Father Damien are taking a rest from the exorcism;

Father Damien : Why this girl? It doesn't make sense.

Father Merrin : I think the point is to make us despair.

Father Merrin : To see oursleves as...

Father Merrin : ...animal and ugly.

Father Merrin : To reject the possibility that God could love us.

When I'm all settled down and have my own room I will indeed post more. Thank you . May Allah SWT bless you all. Amin.

It's a kampung life ... ( especially for Willisena and Syaiful)

2009-07-04T11:26:00.000-07:00

Assalamualaikum...

I know I haven't updated my blog for quite a while. I'm so sorry because I just want to inform my friends about my missing hand phone.

Here's a post about my kampung life. This post is especially for my dear friend sister Willisena and her dear husband Syaiful.

I went back home last Tuesday and I had to borrow my dad's digital camera to take the pictures because I lost my camera phone.

It's the fruit season, at home we have lots of seasonal fruits. Here's the Rambutan.
Here's another Rambutan tree.

Here's a picture of the Durian tree from below. I don't eat Durian but I do love Tempoyak (processed Durian like how they make Cheese from milk, I think)

Here's some Ciku. Kak Lis said that in English it's called Chiku. I hope she's referring to the same fruit. It's called Sapodilla (thank you al-Azhar Tengku al-Walid)

Here's the equipment we use to pluck those fruits. Just imagine how it works because I don't know how to explain it to you.

Here's a view of one of the fruit's tree. Guess what kind tree it is?

Yes it is a Manggosteen tree.

I have to climb the tree to get the fruit. It's fun to climb the tree because the branches are strong and it goes like a ladder.

To make it easier I have to hang the bag (I'm using a plastic bag) on one of its branches so that it's easier for me to climb the tree and pluck the fruits.

I can see the fruit now...

Got it...

A picture taken on the tree.

Moving on to the chicken barn(Jali's Palace).

A view from inside of the barn.

I think you guys have been expecting him. Yup, this is Jali. He's busy at the back part of our house now.

Jali. No he is not snobbish(Thank You Alia for the translation of 'sombong') . He does come to our kitchen but rarely now because he's busy being the King at the backyard. He's no 'Kacang Lupakan Kulit'.

This is my home. We're trying to grow grass but it's the season where it rarely rains, so it's a bit hard for that.At the back there there's three trees. Those are the manggosteen trees.

And finally a picture taken by my brother. I love this.

Thank You.

I lost my hand phone

2009-06-17T20:45:00.000-07:00

The kind of phone that went missing this morning. (There's some Jali pics in the phone that I haven't uploaded to the PC yet)

Today, I just lost my Sony Ericsson (k810i) phone. It was there beside me at 6am (I read messages by Kak Lis & Bawang) then I went back to sleep. At 9am it's not there anymore.

Here's a story about my friend who lost her phone maybe two years ago.

The kind of phone that my friend lost.

She went to the toilet for a while, she left her phone at her room and when she came back it was not there anymore. So she called me asking what to do... I told her to pray to Allah S.W.T and report it to the office.

So, she report her missing phone to the office. At that point of time I was on my way back from Kuantan to IIUM (UIA). I was on the bus. There's nothing that I can do to help her at that point of time, so I just pray to Allah S.W.T hoping that something good will happen and that she could find her phone.

After an hour or two after she called me telling about her missing phone she called back, but this time she managed to find her phone. The office conducted a spot-check to find the phone (I don't know covering what area) and eventually they found it in the toilet. Deep in my heart I feel that my prayers somehow did help her in a way.

The point that I want say is that if things like this happens to you, you should never stop hoping and never forget to ask help from Allah S.W.T.

I wish that I can have my phone back. I don't want to wish that those who took my phone would rot in hell because I think it's a bad thing to wish for. Maybe this is a punishment to me for things that I've done. Maybe it's a reminder for me to take care of my things better (lesson learned).

I feel indifferent.

I hope you guys can help me pray that things will get better. Amin. Just pray the best for me. Amin. The best for you too.

The Exorcist (1973) Never Trust The Devil (part 1)

2009-06-14T02:33:00.001-07:00

Here's some great quotes from the movie The Exorcist (1973). Indeed it's a very wonderful horror movie. To me it's the best horror film ever, not because of the scary images only but for the messages inside it and so is the cinematography.

Father Damien & Merrin getting ready for the exorcism.

Father Merrin : Especially important is the warning to avoid conversations with the demon.

Father Merrin : We may ask what is relevant, but anything beyond that is dangerous.

Father Merrin : He's a liar. The demon is a liar.

Father Merrin : He will lie to confuse us.

Father Merrin : But he will also mix lies with the truth...

Father Merrin : ...to attack us.

Father Merrin : The attack is psychological, Damien.

Father Merrin : And powerful.

Father Merrin : So don't listen.

Father Merrin : Remember that. Do not listen!

Father Damien : It might be helpful if I gave you some background...

Father Damien : ...on the different personalities Regan has manifested.

Father Damien : So far, I'd say there seem to be three.

Father Damien : She's convinced that-
Father Merrin : (cuts) There is only one.

Even though the film bases on Christianity for it's still Islamic in a way. (I think) ...

The Best Thing In Life IS ? (tq Teyhah)

2009-06-09T09:45:00.001-07:00

The Best Thing In Life IS Free...(tq teyhah)

I disagree with the statement simply because you cannot enter Heaven for free...

To perform the Hajj you need money...

The Best Thing In Life is to live moderately...

There are things in life which is great and free but there are things which costs something but are still good...

Nothing In Life Is Free...

not true because oxygen is free...

Moderation is the best way...

p/s: I think I should write a book about living life moderately.

-so lazy to write a longer one.I'm going back to Kuantan tomorrow, so I'd like to leave a post.

Jali, The ayam Epic (updated)

2009-06-05T09:41:00.000-07:00

Meet Jali (a name given by my bro Syauqi)

As promised, here's the epic story of Jali the ayam.

Jali was a no-chicken when he was a small chick. He was abandoned by his family (the chicken pack). So as an exile from his pack(family) he went to our kitchen's doorstep for food. It was a pity seeing a little chick being all alone, so we took care of it by giving him bits of rice, etc for him.

Here's where Jali would crave for food when he was a chick.

As times goes on, Jali grew bigger and stronger. Whilst others (chicken) were being slaughtered on Aidilfitri, Aidiladha and other occasions, Jali were still being fed at our doorstep. Yet at that time he is still alone with us feeding bits. He also turn out to be so gentle with us, as you can lift him up and pat his head.

I cared less about Jali because ... who would care about a homeless chicken?.

The one eyed General. This is not Jali.

It's not until I returned home from UIA one day that I found out that he grew so large. In addition to that he is also now like the leader of the whole hens (the lady Chicken). It was common for a Cock/Rooster (adult male chicken ehem2) to lead a couple of the hens as their own, just like what the lion did to the lioness. At the time when Jali was small there would be a few roosters who'd lead their hens. Jali on the other hand is different...

The Supreme Ruler of our Hens, Jali the Great. Look at how big he is compared to the others.

Jali is now like a supreme ruler of the hens at our house. I think he controls almost all of the hens leaving the other roosters alone and lonely (haha). He is really amazing...

A lonely rooster staying away form Jali's territory.

Just look at the size of Jali's spur. No need to attach the steel ones.

What'cha you looking at? (Robert de Niro's style)

It's really amazing to think about how Jali had survive living a no-chicken life and ending up as he is now. Just think about it, how hard you live your life, how suffering it is, to Jali "what doesn't kills you only make you stronger". I know it's weird to think about a chicken's life but if a chicken can do it why can't human? This post also supports my earlier post about"Oppression is Salvation".

A crippled chick left out from it's family.

I hope that this chick (pic above) would take Jali's life as an inspiration and motivation to life it's life. I hope that you would too...

Welcome Carlo Ancelotti

2009-06-02T09:01:00.000-07:00

Carlo Ancelotti (Chelsea's new manager)

Welcome to Chelsea F.C Carlo Ancelotti. Born in June the 10th 1959, a former player and manager. He has won the UEFA Champions League twice both as a player and manager.

Stephane Sessegnon (PSG's ace)

Glen Johnson (the right fullback who once played for Chelsea)

Andrea Pirlo (Milan's midfielder, will he follow Ancelotti?)

Alexandre Pato (Milan's wonderkid)

Edin Dzeko (Bosnian target man who won the cup with Wolfsburg)

Yuri Zhirkov (the Russian who can play all the position on the left)

Kaka' (World's best player for a number of times)

Sergio "Kun" Aguero (Argentinian and Atletico Madrid's wonderkid)

p/s: ApE-aPe, Aizad and Ash, who would you guys like to be in Chelsea next season?

Angels & Demons (Book & Movie)

2009-05-28T12:11:00.000-07:00

I read Angels & Demons and I've watch the movie. I just love both of it book because I would say that they are different. To those who just watch the movie version here's what I could find out what you miss :

This brand appears on the body of Vetra's father like the other killing.

This brand is what appears on the Camerlengo's chest. The Illuminati Diamond.

1. The first one to be killed was not Vetra's friend but her father Leonardo Vetra. Replaced by her friend Silvano.

2. Robert Langdon receives a phone call from his home and flew to CERN to look at the Leonardo Vetra's body and met with Vittoria Vetra there.

3. Langdon and Vetra flew to Vatican City by a shuttle-looking airplane that goes with the speed of Mach 11.

4. The director of CERN, Maximilian Kohler was removed. He was the one who got killed in the end accuse by the Camerlengo to brand him.

5. There are 2 reporters from BBC in the book that did not appear in the movie. We could see a lot of reporters from various TV stations around the glob but there is none from BBC which contrast with what is told on the book where it only focuses on BBC. These reporters communicated with the the so-called Illuminati leader.

6. The forth Preferiti is killed in the fountain but were saved and name Pope in the movie.

7. The Camerlengo and the previous Pope were actually blood related which what cause the Camerlengo to act immorally and commit suicide upon noticing it. This is the best part because a Pope is mistakenly seen as going against his celibacy but actually did a 'test-tube baby'. This is seriously challenging religion. Damn it.

8. Vetra was actually wearing shorts in Vatican which is actually prohibitted there for women there.

9. Langdon went together with Camerlengo in the last helicopter scene. Camerlengo survived with a parachute on a building and Langdon fall into water near an island.

10. In the movie when Langdon was asked by the Camerlengo about God, he answered that he was not ready about faith. In the novel Langdon answered that he ain't ready to believe in God because he cannot accept afford to accept that a God would punish those who did not follow His teaching.

There are lots of other thing which is different and removed and added in the movie. It won't be a waste if you read the book after you watch the movie.

Overall I sense that bot the movie and novel were really challenging religion as it plays with it a lot. Even though it does not involve Islam (there may be some things about Islam), the story challenges readers about the idea of "God" and divinity. Readers should take everything critically and be careful for anything that involves religion on philosophy.

Still the book is really good.

Looking forward for the next Robert Langdon adventure "The Lost Symbol" that will be released on September 15, 2009.

Football Freak Injuries

2009-05-25T09:10:00.000-07:00

(since the football league season is almost over I will be mostly be posting about football stuff)

Please read the article below the pictures about the freak injuries. The pictures are just common broken foot injury in football

Football/Soccer is known to have caused gruesome injuries:

Eduardo Da Silva's

Djibril Cisse's (he had broken both of his leg)

Francesco Totti's

Despite the injuries obtained during their match and training grounds, freak injuries also happen:

Kirk Bradfoot was cooking eggs in a microwave and as he open the microwave hot liquid squirted to his face causing serious burns.
Goalkeeper Dave Beasant was carrying a hand full of salad ingredient when he accidentally dropped a bottle of sallad cream. He tried saving it with his leg but injured his leg instead leaving him on the sideline for two month.
Norbert Nigbur was having a meal with his fiancee when he stood up to make a speech only to hur his knees suffering a torn meniscus which required surgery.
Paolo Diogo lost his finger in his celebration attempt by jumping towards the crowd of fans.
Thierry Henry (France striker) caught one of his eyes after scoring the winning goal against Chelsea when he hit the corner flag in a celebration attempt.
Darrius Vassell (England striker) injured himself after attempting to perfrom a surgery on his own using a power tool causing his nail to be removed due to infection.
Ramalho had to stay in a ward for three days after he chocked a medicine of what turns to be should be taken anally.
Sascha Bender was hit by his team-mate Christian Okpala. He permanently provoked me by farting all the time," Okpala explained.
Indonesian footballer Mistar wasn't so lucky. The 25-year-old was tragically killed by a stampede of pigs which overran his team's training pitch before a fixture in 1995.
Rio Ferdinand (England defender) damage his knee after relaxing it for too long on a coffee table.
Carlo Cudicini (Italian Goalkeeper) and Robbie Keane (Ireland striker) injured themselves after hunting for a remote TV controller.

Chelsea's new jersy

2009-05-24T11:51:00.001-07:00

Chelsea's new home jersey

Chelsea's new away jersey

Chelsea's new 3rd jersey

This is probably the latest Chelsea F.C kit for next season EPL 09/10. I'll try my best to save money to at least own one of the kits. I need to also lose a bit of my weight to wear it because as you can see the kit is quite "body-fitting". I don't want any protruding belly haha.

Style!!!

Edward Cullen ; Conspiracy Theory

2009-05-16T09:30:00.000-07:00

"Consipracy is a big word, if it's a conspiracy then I had to prove it..."
Guus Hiddink (Chelsea's Manager 2009)

After reading and watching the movie "Twilight", something goes through my mind about the main male character "Edward Cullen". I post this just for fun and meant no harm for every fan of Edward Cullen n maybe "himself" (hahahaha).

Edward as the picture tells can eventually be a drug addict in favor of Heroin. Conspiracy theory hmm... Why did I say so is because we all know that Ed is addicted to this girl Bella. So, why did he use "Heroin" as a a metaphor for his addiction towards Bella? Why didn't he use other things to use as a symbol to the addiction.

Ed (ske2 je panggil Ed, kne marah aku nnt ni) also describes Bella as some kind of alcohol brand (only appear in the book) as the addiction. This might also suggest that Ed is also an alcoholic.

In the book it was also mentioned that the "vamps" don't breathe and that they do it for a hobby as to smell. This might be a great reason why uses Heroin instead of Cocaine because "Coke" is best sniffed (ahahha) where he don't like to sniff.

If it was me (I don't want to be a vampire, I just want to be Clint Eastwood), I'd say you're my favorite movie suggesting my love for movies haha (a cineaste).

Again I want to stress out that this post is just for fun and no offense in any way were meant. Hehehe.

Oh, one more thing is that Bella (Isabella Swan acted by Kristen Stwart) is cuter in the movie than I imagine she'd be. She looks bad in the Twilight poster but she looks good in the movie. (tak photogenic kot).

p/s: indeed a rubbish post.

The 5 Senses...

2009-05-01T09:41:00.000-07:00

Most of us are born with complete 5 senses (touch, sight, smell, hear, taste). In fact we love it very much and we would use it to the best. It is also true that some of us were not born with or may loses the 5 senses. Not having the complete "senses" does not mean that you cannot live your life the fullest. Many are successful despite the losses.

Here is the interesting part. In my opinion the great of things are(tq Alia) the ones that does not involve our human 5 senses.

A scene from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Take for example, LOVE. Being loved or giving love is one of the best thing life can offer. Love cannot be sense through our human 5 senses. In fact, whats the use of it (5 senses) if we cannot give nor receive love.

Despite love, HEAVEN is the best thing that human would want. An endless life after the Judgement Day that offers eternal bliss is what everyone who believe in it wants. Heaven is also something that cannot be sensed by our human senses.

DEATH on the other hand is considered to be both bad and good. Death can be a burden when someone we depends on leaves us, but can also be a salvation as the burden can make us stronger. Death is also something that cannot be sense by us (human).

"Do you know what she did? Your cunting daughter!" The Exorcist (1973)

We would find Linda Blair's make up from the movie The Exorcist (1973) as the most horrible and scariest looking thing in our life or maybe the Ju-On ghost as the same thing. But the fact is the most evil thing is the ONES that we cannot see. The most evil of THEM (Satan) is the one who seduce human to do bad and even evil things. The ones that persuades human to leave their prayers, steasl, gambles, etc.

-So not only the best thing, but the most horrible thing that could happen to us cannot be sense via the 5 senses.

So, by having the complete 5 senses, does it make us a better person? Losing one or even the whole 5 of it makes us a lower quality person? Does by having it too much makes us complacent?

p/s: comments are indeed welcomed as this post is merely a rough ideology of mine.

o0oh Coffee Prince~! (late watcher)

2009-05-01T08:40:00.000-07:00

Manager Hong : "To be torn in love is the happiest time of one's life. "

Eun Chan crying. (isk3)

I love this part right here.(nyanyi plak)

Eun Chan : Hello

Han Kyul : I miss you.

Eun Chan : We've just seperated so why...

Eun Chan : Me too.

Now I feel like Alia writing about her favorite things. I know I watch this drama series kind of late. It does not matter because I felt happy finishing it . I'm looking foward to watch Princess Hour (lend it to me someone!).

I think it's a good idea to post a quote from a movie by posting the pics captured from the movie. It'll be much more clearer to my readers. I'll do this in the future.

I feel like a drama king now ahah. I'll post more thoughtful post in the future ya~!. Just for a while I'll post something different .

p/s: Manager Hong's quotation is thoughtful!

"ehuehue" how is it done~!? (updated)

2009-04-30T08:25:00.000-07:00

Go Eun Chan doing "huehuehuehue"

ehueheheue ....

People are asking about my laugh ... (my trademark laugh??? eheuheu) ... damn it~! can't stop doing it ...

okay ... here's a less thoughtful post.

"huehuehue" is done as a little, shyish, control ayu laugh. The one that you might cover your teeth to do it. I'll find a picture for it ya~! (found it!)

extra info: it's not just covering your teeth wth your hands, u have to like muncungkan your lips n cover your whole mouth ieth your hands. Kinda like that.
You can also just muncungkan your mouth while "ehuehue". (why am I writing this?)

Go Eun Chan (Yoon Eun Hye) does it many times in Coffee Prince (baru tgk ehuehe).

Genie oh Djinn...

2009-04-24T07:49:00.000-07:00

Everybody knows the story of Alladin. He finds (bukan "founds", tq Teyhah n LanXLan) the magic lamp and were granted 3 wishes by the Genie. In Disney's version of Alladin the Genie was in blue. The Genie is friendly, funny and witty. I remember loving the movie when I was in standard 1 or 2 and I would guess, who won't?

Here's the weird thing about Alladin's Genie (or generally reffering to the Disney's Alladin)- Since when does a genie or djinn (in reality) is friendly to human, helps them and grants wishes for good?

I don't know the real story or the real version of Alladin, but the one that Disney made was a real fault as for the portrayal of the genie. I didn't notice this until I watch documentaries about Freemason, Anti-Christians and its movement (at one point it even mentioned that Walt Disney as a high member of the Masonic group, woah! ). Were the documentaries for real? I don't know. But one thing for sure is that a genie that grants wishes for us does not intend to do good.

The real thing that could happen to Alladin is supposed to be like what happened to Dr. Faustus by Christopher Marlowe. I guess many years ago when Marlowe was alive he maybe heard about the story of Alladin and retells it in another version (the version which I found that was more logical than Disney's Alladin).

All in all, the reason that I'm so concern about this matter is that I don't want my children or any future generation to look at things and accept it as it is. I don't want them to think that a genie may be a friend to us as finding them would grant us wishes and that is a good thing. I don't want them to end up like Dr. Faustus because in my opinion it's not possible to happen.

p/s: The reason that I highlighted Disney's Alladin is because that is the version of Alladin that I can really remember. The other version , the ones in the book seems a bit different where I can find one ending with Alladin and Jasmine being together but without the help of genie or without the presence of genie in the end.

p/s: for those who don't know about the story "Dr Faustus". = It's in short about Dr Faustus who finds help with satan (Mephistophilis and Lucifer) to receive worldly pleasure by selling his soul to them. In the end he regretted what he'd done and 'tis too late that he died in blaspheme.

bonus question : what's a question that does not need an answer called?

What's wrong with this picture?

2009-04-07T00:08:00.000-07:00

I think there's something wrong with this picture. I need someone else too confirm it with me. This picture is taken at the surau at JJ Wangsa Maju.

"I don't want to be brilliant...
...That's not you to decide."

"Mohesh: (Showing his middle finger to his sister)"

This is a movie in my opinion 'what Malaysians need'. I really envy Yasmin Ahmad because she can make movies concerning the three races in Malaysia with wanting to unite them. I envy her because I can't think of a thing about racial integration because I don't have great experience with the Indians nor the Chinese. I'm not from a place where we were friends with other races. The only real experience with another race is with Mr. Muhammad Aw Yong and Stacy, and for that I do thank you for being nice. And not forgetting Suresh too and Wei Li. Sheena's not included cos she's half-breed hehe.

Looking forward to create my own movie...

Nasi Goreng Paprik Screw You!!! (warning explicit content)

2009-03-24T20:09:00.000-07:00

Int. Cafe Faruq, Nite.

Syaukat, Scott and Duwe were hanging out and about to have dinner at Faruq's Cafe. Duwe is having maggie goreng, looks really delicious while Scott is enjoying Corn flavored Soya Milk he bought at the kiosk. Syaukat is waiting for his ala cart dinner he ordered. Then a look from the ala cart counter shows that Syaukat's food is ready.

Syaukat

berape ?

Food att.

tiga setengah...

Syaukat

(pays him then goes back to his two friends to enjoy dinner)

The three friends chat along while having dinner, mocking each other for fun. Syaukat who's eating his dinner SUDDENLY stop, looking towards his food in shock and anger.

Syaukat
Puki...!

Scott

Apsal?

Syaukat

Babi betol, ade screw dlm nasi ni, pukimak btol ah...

Scott and Duwe looks into Syaukat's Nasi Goreng Paprik. They both went into shock, well Scott actually is in shock but remain his coolness.

Syaukat

(angry)takde takde, aku nak mintak duit aku balik, puki btol, boleh mati doh camni...

aku nk amik gmba dlu ...

Scott and Duwe (not together)

haa amik gamba...celaka doh

Syaukat takes his cameraphone and took (tq Pendekar Rimau Berantai) pictures of his dinner with the screw in it. He went back to the ala cart counter to claim his money back bringing along his dinner with the screw in it.

Syaukat

(trying to control anger) Bro! Bro! ade screw dlm ni...

Food att.

(comes towards Syaukat and look into the food)

(takes the food)

takpe buat baru...

Syaukat

takde takde, saya tamau yang baru, saya mau duit saya balik, tak lalu da mau makan...

Food att.

(put the food down, at open the cash's safe)

(gives Syaukat RM3)

nah...

Syaukat

haih RM3 je!? saya baya RM3.50 tadi...

Food att.

you da makan da sikit...

Syaukat

(angry)haih...you kasi saya Nasi dengan screw you mahu charge saya, saya mahu duit saya balik...orang bole mati tau...

(Syaukat and the Food att. continues on arguing)

People around the area started to be aware of the scene, many were really curious. Scott who were chatting with Duwe stop and come towards the argument.

Scott

(intervenes)

pehal ni...

Syaukat

ni ha, dia bagi aku RM3 je, aku bayar RM3.50, nak gak charge aku makan...

Scott

hey! (towards Food att.) dia order apa tadi? Nasi Goreng Paprik kan, bukan Nasi Goreng Screw...

(Scott argues with the Food att., while the Food att. was talking in a lower tone that we could hardly hear)

kalo saya repot macamana? you mau saya report tu food service?

Food att.

you report pun bukan ada apa-apa pun...

Scott

betol takde apa2? kami report betol-betol ni, you mau kedai you tutup? you mahu kene saman?

Food att.

(murmuring, then goes to the cash's safe and gives Syaukat his RM0.50)

Syaukat and Scott moves away angrily from the ala cart's counter. After sitting for a while the three guys moves away from the cafe angrily talking about the incident.

p/s: incident ni lama da, tahun lepas, sem lepas to be exact, time tu kawan aku Scott n Duwe(bdak Bilal) ade lg kat sni...segala dialogue yg aku tulis ialah remake, so maybe bkan exact words tp ape yg aku igt. aku xde niat lansung nk menokok tambah cerita ini. tq

3rd place, Futsal Inter-Department Tournament

2009-03-13T08:56:00.000-07:00

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly (2009)

Ash, Benny, Pejai, Fadli (JoE), Sokat

Aizad, Iskandar, Pejai, Charlie, Ash, Sokat

Oppenent celebrates scoring, Pejai moves away, lost 4-2

Fadli (JoE), Muhaimin, Sokat tackling into a foul

Muhaimin, Sokat, Ash (in the air, cool skill), Fadli (JoE)

Fadli (JoE) defending, Pejai, Shami attacking

Shami, Sokat (tackling-won), Muhaimin

Aizad (orange), Pejai, Iskandar (in the back), Sokat, Charlie (back), Ash

Well, the story is that we (Elits B) won 3rd place in the HS Inter-Department Futsal tournament, few weeks ago. It's something I'm very proud of because we were not the kind of guys who into sports that much yet we show a hell of a spirit. Like Chalie said, everyone played their role, respect each other and had fun. We weren't there in the hopes to win, we were there to play as happy as we can be (no stress, no pressure) - everyone understood.

The Team :

Aizad (Goalkeeper)

Sokat-me (Defender)

Fadli-JoE (Defensive Midfielder, Midfielder)

Wawan (Defensive Midfielder, Midfielder)

Iskandar (Defensive Midfielder, Midfielder)

Zul-Cina/Chelsea (Defensive Midfielder, Midfielder)

Chalie (Midfielder)

Ash/Asdil/Encik Sedil (Midfielder, Foward)

Din (Midfielder, Foward)

Pejai (Foward)

Benny (Foward)

All in all, we scored 11 goals and conceded 7 (great achievment!). 9 goals were scored by Pejai (damn he's great) and I seriously think that he's the top scorer of the tournament and the other 2 goals each by Din and Fadli (JoE). I won't forget to mention the whole team's contribution which if it ain't for them we won't have reach 3rd place. Aizad for his goalkeeping saves, Fadli (JoE) for supporting me at the back, n everyone else who'd make it possible. Every move is crucial and important.

p/s:I got the pics from facebook (Alifah Mohammad Pauzan and Fairuz Ikhwan Yussof's album), tq.

I don't like,.. but I like...

2009-03-11T22:21:00.000-07:00

I don't like Lady Gaga because she's too obscene. Her songs, her outfit, damn... "sex on feet" - Alia Pattinson.

p/s: Love Game's music video is damn too obscene.

I like lady Gaga for her music (distinguish the differences between song and music). I like her lyric;

"Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun
And baby when it's love if it's not rough it isn't fun, fun" Poker Face

Agree!!!

p/s: Love when interpreted as the relationship love, not the making love thing.

Don't go here...

2009-03-09T21:25:00.000-07:00

Back a few weeks (maybe a month) ago(ago ke a go?) , me and my friends had a trip to Melaka. It was fun, we were so happy together. Melaka was indeed a must-go-place in Malaysia. We got hungry while walking at Pahlawan sumtin...so we decided to have our lunch at the local Mamak restaurant (Subaidah with the theme pink)....

To start this, Melaka was indeed a good place. We had great dinner the night earlier at a place call Apple Burger? that serves great food; Apple Burger, Asam pedas!! yeah...

But the place where we had lunch (Subaidah) was terribly awful. No offence eyh Melaka people, especially my good friend Teyhah!. This restaurant is really bad for:

1. My friend Fit ordered Prawn masak pe ntah which was RM3!!! per piece. Not just that, the Prawn was expired (basi in English ape ek?) . Damn it he had to spit it out. Fuss happen when we wanted to refund our money for the meal.

2. The waiter weren't reliable; my friend Syapik Amri, ordered sumtin then the waiter gave somebody (someone who came on later on the next table) who ordered later than him. Leman and Syapik were really pissed with the waiter...they argued. Hey we weren't there to create chaos but when that happen we got really pissed.

3. This is what I experience; I went down to buy my pack. To be quick I went to the water counter to order sky water/drinking water/air masak/ais kosong;

Drink Attendent (DA)

Sokat (S)

Int. Restaurant Subaidah, Melaka. Lunch time.

(Went to the drink counter)

Right & Wrong (opinion)

2009-02-26T17:48:00.000-08:00

As a child we have been told by our parents about what is right and what is not. Some people use the harsh way and some would prefer the Gandhi (no violence) way to educate their children for the better of them. So which is the best way?

As a teenager we've seen, experience and feel the world more than we used to. We were told that we are now responsible for our act. We see people and wanting to follow their footsteps, but which step is the right step?

As we grow older, we now know the fact that we are responsible for everything. We make decisions, we take opinions, but which is heaven and which is hell? we don't know.

(my opinion)
We are here to try our best in doing what we think is right. Kurt Westergaard (Danish cartoonist who drew bloody Islamic cartoon) is drawing what he think is democracy. The Americans and Zionists were attacking what they think is righteous to kill. Our friends is telling us what to do for what they think is helpful, so does our teachers and parents.

The facts were these (Pushing Daisies' tag line), even though we are blessed with logic and reasons, sometimes(tq alia) we are still unable to determine what is truly right and what is truly wrong. What we consider heaven now may not be paradise tomorrow and what we think is hell today may not be punishment the day after.

Only God (in our case, Muslims: Allah S.W.T) knows what is truly right for us. Many or maybe all of the things that were mentioned to us by other humans (parents, teachers, friends, etc) that seemed to be truthfully right may came from Allah S.W.T from his Holy Book (Al-Quran). For an example, our parents remind us not to pick on flowers and destroy trees; this is also what Allah S.W.T has told us to do, so it is truly right. So, to conclude it is best for us to return to our creator, Allah S.W.T when we seem to lost our path because I believe that He will help and show us the right way if we want to.

p/s: this entry is mostly my opinion. Any wrong information, discussion, correction are welcomed in a nice way ya! peace.

Why Clint Eastwood is my hero.

2009-02-17T22:53:00.000-08:00

Clint Eastwood is a name everyone who love movies would know. He's famous for his act as a tough and rough character in the movie Dirty Harry series and classic western epic (The Good, The Bad, The Ugly).

The first movie I remember watching that involves him is "Mystic River" (Sean Penn, Tim Robins, Laurence Fishbourne, Kevin Bacon) which make Sean Penn won his first Oscar for best actor and Tim Robbins for best supporting actor.

Then I've watch his other movies (dun remeember what). But what makes him a hero to me is the movie The Unforgiven 1992 (Clint Eastwood, Samuel L. Jackson, Gene Hackman) which he directed earning Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Supporting Actor (Gene Hackman).

What I love the most about this movie (The Unforgiven) is the sound track "Claudia's Theme" which he composed himself. He also composed many other sound track for his movie such as form the movie "Mystic River" and "Gran Torino".

He own his production company Malpaso Production form his movies and his own recording company Malpaso Records to record sound tracks of the movie, which he'd compose most of it himself.
Another cool fact about him is that he's once involved in politics that he became the mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.
All in all I love Clint Eastwood because he can be a director, screenwriter, actor, composer and even a mayor (ling-app students, analyze this sentence). He's won lots of awards including Academy Awards for Best Director and Best Picture (The Unforgiven, Million Dollar Baby), Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award, Golden Globe Awards for Cecil B. DeMille Award, Best Director (Bird, The Unforgiven,Million Dollar Baby, etc. In terms of success, he's my idol.
"I've always felt that every actor should direct a film at some point in their life, and every director should act" -Clint Eastwood

Oppression is Salvation..

2009-02-02T23:55:00.000-08:00

For years the Jews have been oppressed by the German's Nazi under Adolf Hitler, look at the Jews now, they've become better every single second (media, military, world power, etc).

For decades women have been oppressed as the weaker sex all over the world, look at them now as more and more women enters the IPTA in Malaysia leaving the men behind. Women also have better grades than the men in majority.

(I did wonder if men were really or literally getting extinct and that more women were born on earth today than men. I think the answer is no, because all the men have gone to fields that were not academic, for example sports and mechanics stuff.)

The best literary work came from those who are being oppressed (works of war, prejudice, etc) as from the works of those who experience or seen oppression (Charles Dickens, Langston Hughes, Rabindranath Tagore).

The best men also came from those who were been oppressed, such as Malcolm-X, Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and even Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin. (Both Hitler and Stalin were abused by their fathers in their childhood and look what they've turn out to be).
Thus from these observation I may conlcude that those who have seen, experience, gone through hardships, suffering and humiliation, oppression, tortured, etc are the ones who will be the best. "What doesn't kill you only get you stronger" I believe.

Don't feel bad if you're humiliated, not cool enough, bullied, ragged, etc because you'll turn out to be a great person. You just need to be strong and endure it. Don't feel sad if you don't look handsome or beautiful enough to be attractive to the society because you're going to be stronger, even just don't feel inferior about your physic or mental state. Just don't give a damn..ahah.
"Little People Kill People" Joey Jordison..

All successful people have gone through many hardships and challenges that you can never imagine of. To be successful is to be difficult.

p/s: our Prophet Muhammad S.A.W and other Prophets have endured much to have the words of Allah S.W.T being spread throughout the world until this day. Think about that.

"Daisy: Will you still love me when I got old and saggy." "Benjamin: Will you still love me when I got acne, wet my bed."

Khusyu' in solat..(EDITED)

2009-01-07T18:19:00.000-08:00

Assalamualaikum..(wanna make it a habit ah to give salam, it's the same thing as saying "yo!, wattup?" just nicer . Peace Be Upon You)

I have this problem of not being khushu' in solat (I believe we all have), that come to the extend of forgetting which raka'at of the prayer I'm in, which happens almost everytime (except for Subuh prayer n congregational prayer). I do believe that the reason why I have problems in focussing on stuff (reading, lectures, etc) is because that I'm not khushu' in my solat which is important as it is a way to discipline yourself.

So in order to deal with me forgetting my raka'at, I've created a method to keep track on my raka'at :

The method is as shown by the pictures above is by pointing out your finger (to signify what raka'at u're on, 1 finger for 1st raka'at and so on) during the time when your in the standing state of your solat (I don't know what it's called, but it's the state where you recite the Al-Fatihah and other surah). The method kinda help me in reminding me on which raka'at I'm in. But I do still have doubt in this method (wether is it the right thing to do) so I went to the Department of Fiqh (IIUM) and find someone who'd help me with this.

The result is that after consulting with Lukman (a Post-Graduate student in Fiqh department) I found myself in the state of wrongness. What I really mean is that I came to the state where I believe too much in myself that I could achieve anything or everything if I try my damn best on my own. The method that I created (above) is the result my way of thinking, my ideology or my philosophy.

We (Muslims) must believe that everything in this world belongs to Allah S.W.T and that Allah S.W.T has the power to give and take eveything that he owns anytime and anywhere. It is my mistake that I believe too much on myself that I'd achieve anything if I try my best. As a Muslim I need to believe that I have a God to submit to, and that without his permission I won't achieve anything. So by using this method I'd able to be khushu' in solat on my own ( I would maybe come to think that I don't need Allah's S.W.T help)

So to conclude, my method of indentifying the number of raka'at is in a way a wrong thing to be practiced. Eventhough it kinda helps, but psychologically it tells me that I'm capable of myself to be khushu' in my solat without the help of Allah S.W.T. I won't say this is a wrong method but try to think about it and I do need feedback on this.

People can focus when they march as soldiers but can they be khushu' in solat?

Thanks to brother Lukman from the Department of Fiqh.

Peace!

The "duhh" attitude (my reflection)

2009-01-01T19:52:00.000-08:00

"duhh" is a word that people use to say (maybe out loud) when they listen to a person asking questions that the answer is clear or already known. So the "duhh" attitude, is the action or the behavior of a person reacting to the "duhh" word.

The person with the attitude doesn't have to say the word "duhh", as the majority of Malaysian don't even understand the meaning of it. The behavior can come for an example in class when someone asks the question , then they'll be those who'd talk about the question (most probably among the gang) as it's "duhh" [ek elee..tu pun nk tanye bengap ape..]

This kind of attitude is unacceptable (to me) because:

1. Demotivate people to be participative in class, conference, etc. (serious cause)

2.It tells the one with the attitude to be bodoh sombong (stupid + cocky?)

3.There's no wrong in asking eventhough it's a stupid question

If I were in the position being "duhh" upon, I'd put ut my middle finger (in my heart) towards them (huehue), seing them as the loser and not me. "Malu bertanya kawan, sesat cari jalan pulang".

p/s: serious rase cam byk lg nk tulis tp terbantut n kne smbung tules lpas solat jumaat sbb abang lab nk tutup utk friday prayers. ahha

Beyonce - If I Were A Boy (my reflection)

2008-12-17T08:47:00.000-08:00

(Correct me if I'm wrong)

dis song (Beyonce - If I Were A Boy), is about how a female wants her beloved male to understands her, and it maybe better if she'd understand him and have the chance to be in his shoes.

I do love this song cos it reminds me on how I wanted to be in a females shoes (which tells why I can be so feminine, ahha) . I really have tried to understand, like and do things that females would do so dat I'd be a better man for my beloved (whoever she is).

Unfortunately it doesn't work, no matter wat I tried, it'll turn out wrong. I will never understand them female. Eventhough I do n like wat female like, it won't be a use, because for certain reason it's just not right.

A man just have to be a man and vice versa. Eventhough us guys dun understand ur heart and feelings, hurt u n stuff, it's the best thing to be, because that's what we're created to be, to hurt the one we love the most (take this positively) ; male and female.

Don't worry, "Ai Araba It's Okay" - if there's love it's okay.

It'll end up okay, we'll accept it kan!

lgpun I believe Beyonce just wanted to express her feelings to make her feel better, rite gals?

Cursed into a Sting Ray, old myth...busted

2008-12-15T08:46:00.000-08:00

Not a long time ago, there's this fuss about a 3gp video clip showing of a human being cursed to be a sting ray. In addition to that, the clip also includes Islamic or Arabic recitation (wasn't sure bout dis, wether its quran or not) Urgh..!! Menyeramkan!!! (scary). It gets to everyone's sight and most of them believe it thus many version of story came out. The clip as shown from the pic above were said to be a man who'd been ungrateful to his mother, thus have been cursed by God and turned to an animal; a sting ray.......(this was the version I heard)

Well last afternoon, I was watching Animal Planet (556 Astro), there this prog with the late Steve Irwin catching an animal. Guess what he catched, A CURSED STING RAY MAN!!! ..It's not a sting ray, its a shark called Shovel Nose Shark which is exactly what the so called CURSED STING RAY MAN looked like.

So now I ask, who in the world created that story, that myth. What in the world are they thinking? was it to corrupt our Muslim society? or was it just any stupid myth/rumour maker? or maybe it's an unusual animal to be seen by them?

whatever it is, it's busted... who'd believe such a thing, I doubted it dlu..(btol tau, x caya suda)

p/s: lesson is dun believe sumtin until it's proven so....

What do we get from Cicakman 2 : Planet Hitam (1st post)

2008-12-12T08:00:00.000-08:00

Yesterday 11 December 2008, I went to watch Cicakman 2 : Planet Hitam (Malaysia's comedy superhero). If it wasn't my fren who ask me to go out n watch the movie, I would've never want to watch the movie. I'd rather watch Wayang or sumtin else, hehe. I'd rate the movie 1/5 stars in terms of it's storyline and visual.

I'm the kind of person who'd love movies. I love movies which I can get, learn and experience someting from it. Well the movie with 1/5 stars rated, what do I get from the movie?. well there are sum stuff (good n bad)...

(those who wanted to watch the movie first, who'd hate to for it to be spoiled better dun read)

1.Metrofulus (the setting of the movie) is the only place in Malaysia (as the Malaysian flag were shown) where people can have a rally, tunjuk perasan without being sprayed by someone.

2.The spontaneous jokes were funnier than the ones on the script. This can be seen by the acts of Saiful Apek and Mamat Khalid.

3.There might be sum sort of racism portrayed (Chinese, Blacks, Arabs). I dunno bout this or maybe I'm just being too sensitive (yeah I think I'm being to sensitive).

4.The graphic were bad. But I think we just need to support it as it may be the platform for us to be better in the future (kot!). But seriously it was bad. The movie was suppose to be action based, but most of the action were computer graphics, which kinda spoiled it. Sorry Yusry (but u got lot of money, no matter la)

5.I think Saiful Apek is a great guy. Eventhough his jokes are to me lame and out of dated, but the best thing bout him is that he had his own identity as an actor and entertainer. Its better than trying to be the Malaysian Bean, Jim Carrey, etc. Apek is Apek n I'll respect u..

I think that's what I remembered bout the movie. hehehe...

Support Malaysia la weyh!!! (bola sepak xle makan, movie still can)

p/s: bkan I Love You, tp (hehe) this is my first blog n first post. tq...hehe
