What French Mothers Teach Their Daughters

2009-08-06T09:44:00.000-07:00

According to Susan Sommers author of "French Chic" young girls in France are taught to "appreciate and to emphasize their most unique and striking, even offbeat, natural assets." They are to taught to feel "bien dans leur peau" -- good in their skin. Sommers says that it is this confidence with their bodies that gives the French woman the power to look chic and lovely no matter what her actual physical features are.

The mothers pass down to their daughters a confidence and natural self-respect and self-appreciation. By believing in herself the French woman radiates poise and beauty. The French girl learns from a young age to be at ease with her body both dressed and undressed, for beauty comes in all shapes and sizes.

I am reminded of this lesson when I watched a play at our local theater. The lead actress though very heavy set, appeared in a skimpy negligee. She was confident, and absolutely radiated sexuality. Her beauty was completely shining forth in her attitude alone.

Here in the States we are often bought up to cover up. To be ashamed of our bodies if they are the least bit of what we consider imperfect. So it can become difficult for us, growing up in a society that covets physical perfection, to relearn how to appreciate a variety of shapes and sizes and enjoy them.

What to do? How can we overcome this cultural standard that shuns all but the perfect Barbie form? Start with yourself. Learn to like, even love what you have always criticized because your beauty comes from the inside-out, not the other way around. Remember, "The Barbie" is a fake illusion.

Instead of seeing your body as parts, see your body as a fluid whole. Stand tall and walk proudly. Appreciate what your body has to offer you.

Simple Steps To Body Love:

1. Treat your body like a good friend, by feeding it well, getting adequate sleep, and taking care of it.
2. Pamper your body. Lotions on the skin, manicures - things that make you feel good.
3. Send yourself positive messages (no constant self criticism). And not putting yourself down with other people either!
4. So my (fill in the blank) isn't perfect. Does it really matter?
5. Surround yourself with what you love and enjoy.

Cultivate this attitude of internal confidence and it will show through in your walk, your talk, and you'll notice the difference it makes in how people respond to you as well!

JIHAD DI BUMI ISRAK

2009-07-19T02:53:00.000-07:00

Bulan Rejab sangat berkait rapat dengan peristiwa Isra' dan Mi'raj. Ia merupakan satu bukti tentang kebesaran, kekuasaan dan kehebatan Allah SWT yang memperjalankan hamba iaitu Muhammad SAW dari Masjidil Haram di Mekah ke Masjid Al-Aqsa, Baitul Muqadis di Palestin dan seterusnya Nabi s.a.w di angkat kelangit untuk bertemu dengan Allah SWT.

Firman Allah SWT dalam Surah Al-Isra' ayat 1:

"Maha suci Allah yang telah menjalankan hambaNya (Muhammad) pada malam hari dari Masjid Al-Haraam (di Makkah) ke Masjid Al-Aqsa (di Palestin), yang Kami berkati sekelilingnya, untuk memperlihatkan kepadanya tanda-tanda (kekuasaan dan kebesaran) kami. Sesungguhnya Allah jualah yang Maha Mendengar, lagi Maha mengetahui." (Al-Isra' ayat 1)

Peristiwa ini berlaku dua tahun sebelum bginda hijrah ke Madinah. Ia sangat menguji keimanan dan keyakinan umat Islam terhadap kekuasan Allah serta bukti kebenaran kenabian Nabi Muhammad SWT kerana bagi pandangan orang-orang yang tidak beriman atau tipis imannya mereka menyatakan bahawa peristiwa Isra' dan Mi'raj ini tidak mungkin akan berlaku dan tidak mempercayainya. Tetapi bagi orang-orang yang benar-benar beriman kepada Allah dan rasulnya, mereka bertambah tetap keimanannya dan keyakinan serta meperakui kebenaran peristiwa tersebut.

Walaupun nabi sentiasa mendapat ujian dengan kematian isteri tersayang iaitu Saidatina Khadijah yang menjadi pendorong dakwah dan perjuangan baginda, kemudian kematian bapa saudaranya Abu Talib yang menjadi penaung daripada asakan dan tekanan kafir Quraish, namun baginda tetap bersabar dan tabah menghadapinya, baginda tidak bertindak balas terhadap penganiayaan tersebut, tetapi sebaliknya baginda berdoa dengan penuh harapan atas pertolongan Allah SWT.

Inilah tahunnya yang digelar tahun dukacita ‘Amul Hazan', lantas Allah SWT mengangkat baginda di Isra' dan Mi'rajkan, untuk mendorong serta menghiburkan hati baginda SAW.

Setiap kali kita membicarakan peristiwa Isra' dan Mi'raj, maka jiwa kita akan tersentuh, mengenang nasib kedudukan dan keadaan bumi Isra', iaitu Baitul Muqadis dan Masjidil Aqsa yang kini dijajah oleh Yahudi La'natulllah. Pada suasana kita menyambut Isra' dan mi'raj ini umat Islam akan segera memperingati nakbah atau malam petala yang meninpa umat Islam Palestin yang sehingga kini terus menderita sejak 61 tahun yang lalu.

Cengkaman ini bermula semenjak persidangan Basel di Switzerland pada 31 Ogos 1897 iaitu permulaan kepada sejarah tercetusnya gerakan untuk menubuhkan sebuah Negara untuk umat Yahudi. Diikuti pula dengan deklerasi Balfor pada 15 Mei 1984, yang disokong sepenuhnya oleh Amerika Syarikat, akhirnya penubuhan dan pengistiharan Negara Yahudi yang bernama Israel ini, telah benar-benar berlaku.

Tentra Israel telah melancarkan pembersihan etnik, iaitu sejumlah lapan ratus ribu orang atau tiga perempat daripada rakyat Israel, dihalau keluar dari kediaman mereka. Mereka terpaksa berpindah tanpa kerelaan mereka.

Kini sudah enam dekad berlalu pelarian Palestin hidup dalam kemiskinan dan penafian keperluan asas yang sangat parah. Mereka terpaksa hidup tanpa makanan yang mencukupi, tanpa tempat tinggal, tanpa pekerjan, pendidikan dan kemudahan rawatan. Sekiranya ada tempat-tempat kemudahan awam seumpama hospital, sekolah dan universiti sentiasa menjadi sasaran bom, malah tanah perkuburan menerima nasib yang sama dan nasib mereka hingga kini tidak dipeduli oleh masyarakat antarabangsa yang didominasi oleh Amerika Syarikat.

Sebagai hasil gerakan zionis Yahudi ini, sekarang bumi Palestin telah dicerobohi oleh enam juta orang Yahudi. Lebih memilukan lagi, mereka hidup dalam kepungan umpama penjara di tanah air mereka sendiri, seperti di semenanjung Gaza sementara lima juta rakyat Palestin yang lain menjadi pelarian disekitar negara-negara di timur tengah. Sebanyak 80 kem pelarian kini menampung satu juta pelarian Palestin di Jordan, Lubnan dan Syiria. Firman Allah SWT dalm surah Al-Maedah ayat 82:

Maksudnya:

"Demi Sesungguhnya Engkau (Wahai Muhammad) akan dapati manusia yang keras sekali permusuhannya kepada orang-orang yang beriman ialah orang-orang yahudi dan orang-orang musyrik."(Al-Maedah ayat 82)

Amat wajar bagi kita umat Islam, bangkit mempertingkatkan perjuangan menegakkan Islam di mana-mana sahaja. Tidak sekali-sekali memberi ruang kepada Negara-negara umat Islam seluruh dunia menjadi batu loncatan Yahudi untuk mengiktiraf dan merestui kewujudan Negara haram itu. Sebaliknya Yahudi tidak pernah mengiktiraf kewujudan bangsa dan agama lain, sebagiman firman Allah dalm surah Al-Baqarah ayat 120:

Maksudnya:

"Orang-orang Yahudi dan Nasrani tidak sekali-kali akan bersetuju atau suka kepadamu (Wahai Muhammad) sehingga Engkau menurut agama mereka (yang telah terpesong itu)."(Al-Baqarah ayat 120)

Maka kita sebagai umat Islam yang bermaruah, dengan tegas mengutuk dan mengecam sekeras-kerasnya, kekejaman dan tindakan jahat yang dilakukan oleh rejim Yahudi. Kerana ia bukan sahaja telah melanggar hak asasi kemanusiaan, tetapi ia memberi kesan yang cukup besar terutamanya ke atas Masjid Al-Aqsa yang merupakan qiblat pertama umat Islam dan sejarah Isra' baginda SAW.

Sikap kita menyembut ketibaan Isra' dan Mi'raj, bukan sahaj memahami peristiwa dan pengajran ketika Rasulullah SAW diIsra'kan atau diMi'rajkan semata-mata, tetapi yang lebih penting ialah tindakan kita membantu bumi Palestin samada dengan bantuan kewangan, tekanan politik kepada Israel atau apa sahaja bagi menyelamatkan dan memerdekakn bumi Isra' daripada cengkaman Yahudi.

Perpecahan di kalangan pemimpin umat Islam telah membuka ruang yang luas kepada zionis Yahudi, untuk terus menganas di bumi Palestin. Perasaan tidak menghargai betapa bernilai Masjid Al-Aqsa yang merupakan qiblah pertama umat Islam dan tamak kepada habuan dunia yang membara dalam diri umat Islam, adalah menjadi punca utama, kepada penerusan tindakan zalim dan ganas rejim Yahudi terhadap saudara seagama kita di Palestin.

Semuanya itu membuka luas ruang kepada musuh-musuh Islam, untuk membunuh umat Islam tanpa rasa takut dan bimbang. Perasaan-perasan inilah yang merebak hingga keseluruh negar umat Islam, sehingga seolah-olahnya luntur semangat jihad di kalangan Umat Islam.Oleh sebab itulah sempena kita menyambut Isra' dan Mi'raj, hendaklah terlakar dalm diri kita sebagai umat Islam untuk berjuang bersungguh-sungguh, memerangi golongan Yahudi ini, sehingga berakhirnya bangsa zalim ini, sebagaimana hadis Nabi SAW yang diriwayatkan oleh Muslim yang bermaksud:

"Tidak berlaku Kiamat sehingga orang Islam memerangi kaum Yahudi maka mereka akn diperangi oleh orang Islam sehingga Yahudi akan bersembunyi disebalik batu dan pokok lalu berkatalah batu atau pokok: "Wahai orang Islam Hamba Allah!, Ini dia Yahudi dibelakangku maka datanglah dan bunuhlah dia." melainkan pokok Karkad maka sesungguhnya ia merupakan pokok Yahudi."

Sepanjang perjalanan Isra' dan Mi'raj, Rasulullah SAW telah menyaksikan beberapa gambaran perilaku umat manusia samada mereka beriman atau pun tidak. Malah satu peristiwa yang wajr untuk kita sama-sama ambil iktibar ialah apabila baginda perlihatkan baginda sekumpulan manusia yang tidak mampu mengangkat beban tetapi semakin ditambah bebannya adalah gambaran amanah yang belum mampu dilaksanakan, tetapi meminta amanah lain untuk dibuat, pengajarannya ialah sebaiknya hendaklah kita melaksanakan amanah dan tanggungjawab satu persatu, barulah kita meminta yang lain untuk dilaksanakan.

Begitu juga bagaimana diperlihatkan segolongan manusia berebut-rebut makanan yang busuk sedangkan makanan yang lazat lagi baik tidak diambilnya adalah gambaran ada sebahagian manusia mendatangi pasangan-pasangan yang tidak halal untuk berzina sedangkan isteri-isteri yang halal ditinggalkan, pengajarannya kita hendaklah memastikan diri kita dan persekitaran kita selamat daripada dosa dan noda perbuatan jijik dan haram di sisi Islam hendaklah dihindari.

Seterusnya bagaimana Rasulullah telah tercium bauan harum Masyitah dan keluarganya yang telah gugur syahid kerana mempertahankan keimanan kepada Allah dan sanggup berhadapan dengan firaun yang zalim. Mereka lebih sanggup dihumban kedalam kawah yang menggelegak panas demi daripada menerima azab Allah yang lebih pedih jika tunduk kepada firaun yang sesat itu.

Jika kita menghayati peristiwa yang berlaku keatas Masyitah dan keluarganya maka kita merasakan iman dan keyakinan kita begitu kerdil, berbanding pengorbanan tinggi Masyitah, walaupun hanya seorang penyikat rambut anak perempuan Firaun, tetapi tetap mempertahankan keimanannya. Inilah konsep ketaatan yang sebenar bahawa taat kepada pimpinan selama mana mereka taat kepada Allah dan RasulNya.

Mikrajnya nabi SAW telah membawa sejuta pengertian dan warisan yang ditinggalkan untuk kita sebagai penganut islam dengan dianugerahkan solat lima waktu sebagai symbol pengabdian diri kita kepada Allah SWT.

Justeru wajib bagi umat islam mempertahankan kewajipan yang didatangkan terus dari Allah kepada nabi kita untuk umatnya. Kita bimbang telah banyak gejala pengabaian solat, ia didirikan hanya sebagai pilihan sekiranya sempat sahaja bahkan yang paling buruk ialah sekiranya tidak sempat langsung tidak didirikannya.

Inilah fenomena yang mula melanda umat islam apabila tidak mengambil berat tentang agama, maka hal-hal yang bersangkutan akidah, akhlak dan syariat seperti solat, menutup aurat, puasa, zakat dan lain-lain kurang diambil perhatian.

Setiap kali ketibaan isra' dan mikraj apa yang paling penting bagi kita ialah mengambil pengajaran daripada peristiwa tersebut:

1. Setiap perjuangan pasti akan berhadapan dengan ujian dan halangan yang menguji keimanan serta ketakwaan.

2. Menyedari bahawa musuh-musuh islam sentiasa berusaha untuk menutup cahaya Allah justeru istiqamah dan berjuang tanpa mengenal penet leleh hendaklah diteruskan.

3. Kita mestilah mengambil iktibar dan merujuk tentang kisah-kisah yang berlaku sepanjang isra' dan mikraj, agar bertambah keimanan, kesedaran dan keinsafan.

4. Solat mestilah dibudayakan kepada umat islam, program-program kesedaran solat hendaklah dilaksanakan agar generasi remaja faham kewajipan solat, dan

5. Jihad mempertahankan islam mestilah dipergiatkan sampai sebati dalm diri setiap umat islam.

Maksudnya:

"Demikianlah (ajaran Allah); dan sesiapa yang menghormati syiar-syiar agama Allah maka (dia lah orang yang bertaqwa) kerana sesungguhnya perbuatan itu satu kesan dari sifat-sifat taqwa hati orang mukmin." (Al-Hajj ayat 32)

Fat or Thin?

2009-06-19T23:03:00.000-07:00

Health experts have long warned of the risk of obesity, but a new Japanese study warns that being very skinny is even more dangerous, and that slightly chubby people live longer.

People who are a little overweight at age 40 live six to seven years longer than very thin people, whose average life expectancy was shorter by some five years than that of obese people, the study found.

"We found skinny people run the highest risk," said Shinichi Kuriyama, an associate professor at Tohoku University's Graduate School of Medicine who worked on the long-term study of middle-aged and elderly people.

The study was conducted by a health ministry team led by Tohoku University professor Ichiro Tsuji and covered 50,000 people between the ages of 40 and 79 over 12 years in the northern Japanese prefecture of Miyagi.

"There had been an argument that thin people's lives are short because many of them are sick or smoke. But the difference was almost unchanged even when we eliminated these factors," Kuriyama said.

Main reasons for the shorter lifespans of skinny people were believed to include their heightened vulnerability to diseases such as pneumonia and the fragility of their blood vessels, he said.

But Kuriyama warned he was not recommending people eat as much as they want.

"It's better that thin people try to gain normal weight, but we doubt it's good for people of normal physique to put on more fat," he said.

The study divided people into four weight classes at age 40 according to their body mass index, or BMI, calculated by dividing a person's weight in kilograms by their squared height in metres.
The normal range is 18.5 to 25, with thinness defined as under 18.5. A BMI of 25 to 30 was classed as slightly overweight and an index above 30 as obese.

10 Ways to Wake Up Beautiful

2009-06-19T06:36:00.000-07:00

ok..in the midst of global warming..low and behold guys..80% of aging is attributable to sun..so these are the least we can do to save ourselves..kudos to yahoo..

1. Get an Early Start. Make a habit of washing your face a few hours before bed. If you wait until you're tired, you're more likely to blow it off -- allowing "toxins and dirt to stay on there all night," says dermatologist Laurie Polis of N.Y.C. Another consequence? You miss the best time to treat your skin. "At night there's more blood flow to the skin's surface, and there's nothing else on your face to interfere with absorption,".

Try: Neutrogena Deep Clean Relaxing nightly cleanser, $7; at drugstores.

2. Sleep on Your Back.Note to Audrey Hepburn fans: Lying on your stomach is bad for "beauty sleep." The average head weighs 7 to 8 pounds -- a lot of pressure to be putting on your face every night. In fact, many dermatologists say they can tell what side of the face people sleep on by the number of wrinkles there.

3. Get a Lift. Sleep with your head elevated on two pillows, or put the headrest area of your bed on 2- to 4-inch pieces of wood. Gravity helps lymph and blood flow so fluid won't accumulate.

4. Save Money, Not Wrinkles. At night you don't need to worry about eye treatments smearing your makeup, so slather on the richest formula you can. Polis swears by Aquaphor: "It conditions lashes and hydrates the delicate eye skin really well."

5. Sneak a Glow.Mix a drop of self-tanner into your night cream or use a cream that contains a bit of tan-producing DHA.

6. Avoid Carb Face. To wake with defined cheekbones, eat a high-protein, low-sugar dinner (try salmon and asparagus, a natural diuretic). Skip the rice, pasta and potatoes. "When our diet's high in glycemic carbohydrates, our features take on a soft, doughy appearance," says Connecticut dermatologist Nicholas Perricone.

7. Wrap It UpTo minimize. A.M. frizz, sleep on a satin pillowcase or put your hair in a silk scarf. "Those fabrics are much softer than cotton, so there's less friction," says Harry Josh, a John Frieda stylist.

8. Find Your Inner Ballerina. Pile hair into a twist on the top of your head (use a scrunchie to avoid crimping). "In the morning you'll have major volume and beautiful waves," Josh says.

9. Turn on the Hair Conditioning. Sleep with a moisturizing treatment in damp hair overnight. We like Philip B. Katira Hair Masque, but any rich conditioner will do. Rinse in the morning.

10. Pop a Rooster Pill. Trust us, we were skeptical. But after swallowing two Wake Up on Time pills at 11 P.M., we found it much easier to get out of bed seven hours later. Created by a sleep-deprived single mother, the pills contain an energizing blend of thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamins B6 and B12 and guarana-seed extract. It's formulated with a coating that releases ingredients into your bloodstream toward the end of your last sleep cycle, so you wake up feeling clear-headed, not fuzzy.

Old Story..but been circulating around endlessly

2009-06-13T20:32:00.000-07:00

yep..its an old story..got it again from a gudfren....well i guess the story can be the other way round too..enjoy..

As I sat there in english class, I stared at thegirl next to me.
She was my so called 'best friend'.
I stared at herlong, silky hair, and wished she was mine.
But she didn't notice me like that,and I knew it.
After class, she walked up to me and asked me forthe notes she had missed the day before.I handed them to her. She said thanks' andgave me a kiss on the cheek.
I want to tell her, I want her to know that I dontwant to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy,and I dont know why.

**************** 11th grade ****************

The phone rang. On the other end, it was her.
She was in tears, mumbling on and on about how herlove had broke her heart.
She asked me to comeover because she didn't want to be alone,so I did.
As I sat next to her on the sofa,I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine.
After 2 hours, one Drew Barrymore movie,and three bags of chips, she decided to go to sleep.She looked at me, said 'thanks'. I love her but I'mjust too shy, and I dont know why.

**************** Senior year ****************

The day before prom she walked to my locker. "Mydate is sick" she said, he's not gonna go" well,I didn't have a date, and in 7th grade,we made a promise that if neither of us had dates,we would go together-just as 'best friends'.
So we did.Prom night, after everything was over, I was standing at her front door step. I stared at her asshe smiled at me and stared at me with hercrystal eyes.
Then she said- "I had the best time,thanks!" and gave me a kiss on the cheek.I want to tell her, I want her to know that I dontwant to be just friends but I'm just too shy.
A day passed, then a week, then a month. Before Icould blink, it was graduation day. I watched as her perfect body floated like an angle up onstage to get her diploma.Before everyone went home, she came to me in her smock and hat, and cried as i hugged her.
Then she lifted her head from my shoulderand said-'you're my best friend, thanks' andgave me a kiss on the cheek.

Now I sit in the pews of the church. That girl isgetting married.
That girl is getting married now.I watched her say'i do' and drive off to her new life,married to another man. I wanted her to be mine,but she didn't see me like that,and I knew it.
But before she drove away,she came to me and said 'you came!'.
She said 'thanks' and kissed me on the cheek.

Years passed, I looked down at the coffin of a girl who used to be my 'best friend'. At the service,they read diary entry she had wrote in her high school years.
This is what it read: I stare at him wishing he wasmine; but he doesn't notice me like that, and I know it.I want to tell him, I want him to know that I don't wantto be just friends, I love him but I'm just too shy,and I don't know why. I wish he would tell me heloved me!'I wish I did too...' I thought to my self, and i cried.

p/s: no film has ever made this type of storyline..

Though none go with me, i'll still walk..

Our mission in life is not to change the world - our mission is to change ourselves.

And by changing ourselves for the better, we help change the world.

There are no "outside" solutions, only "inside" solutions.

Whenever we change, everyone else changes!

Your experience of the world is actually you experiencing yourself. Be the change you wish to see in the world, YOURSELF!

I will be the answer

At the end of the line

I will be there for you

Why take the time

In the burning of uncertainty

I will be your solid ground

I will hold the balance

If you can't look down

If it takes my whole life

I won't break, I won't bend

It will all be worth it

Worth it in the end

Because I can only tell you that I know

That I need you in my life

When the stars have all gone out

You'll still be burning so bright

Cast me gently

Into morning

For the night has been unkind

Take me to a

Place so holy

That I can wash this from my mind

And break choosing not to fight

If it takes my whole life

I won't break, I won't bend

It will all be worth it

Worth it in the end

Because I can only tell you that I know

That I need you in my life

When the stars have all gone out

You'll still be burning so bright

Cast me gently Into morning

For the night has been unkind

"We are often our own worst enemy. We stop believing in ourselves. We forget that all life is about solving problems and creating legitimate relationships. We’ll be doing that until we die. The more experienced we become at it, the greater the challenges and the stronger our muscle and capability to succeed. Pat Riley, that infamous NBA coach once said, “If you have a positive attitude and constantly give your best effort, eventually you will overcome your immediate problems and find you are ready for greater challenges.”

Man runs into an old friend who had somehow never been able to make it in life.
"I should give him some money," he thinks. But instead, he learns that his friend has grown rich and is actually seeking him out to repay the debts he had run up over the years.

They go to a bar they used to frequently together, and the friend buys drinks for everyone there. When they ask him how he became so successful, he answers that until only a few days ago, he had been living the role of the "Other".

What is the "Other?" they ask.

"The Other is the one who thought me what I should be like, but not what I am. The Other believes that it is our obligation to spend our entire life thinking about how to get our hands on as much money as possible so that we will not die of hunger when we are old. So we think so much about money and our plans for acquiring it that we discover we are alive only when our days on earth are practically done. And then it's too late".
"And you? Who are you?"

"I am just like everyone else who listens to their heart: a person who is enchanted by the mystery of life. Who is open to miracles, who experiences joy and ethusiasm for what they do. It's just that the Other, afraid of disappointment, kept me from taking action."

"But there is suffering in life," one of the listeners said.

"And there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it's better to lose some of the battles in the struggle for your dreams than to be defeated without ever even knowing what you're fighting for."

"That's it?" another listener asked.

"Yes, that's it. When I learned this, I resolved to become the person I had always wanted to be. The Other stood there in the corner of my room, watching me, but I will never let the Other into mysel again- even though it has already tried to frighten me, warning me that it's risky not to think about the future.
From the moment that I ousted the Other from my life, the Divine Energy began to perform its miracle."

p/s: I dont think it's wrong to take a bit of the Other into ourselves to survive. As long we know how to control it and perhaps some might perceived it as "ooo..you change"..if it changes us to be a better person..why not?!Rock on Other!

You Can Do Magic

2009-01-02T17:34:00.000-08:00

I never believed in things that I couldnt see
I said if I cant feel it then how can it be
No, no magic could happen to me
And then I saw you

I couldnt believe it, you took my heart
I couldnt retrieve it, said to myself
Whats it all about
Now I know there can be no doubt

You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
Youre the one who can put out the fire

You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay
Doo, doo, doo ...

And when the rain is beatin upon the window pane
And when the night it gets so cold, when I cant sleep
Again you come to meI hold you tight, the rain disappears
Who would believe it
With a word you dry my tears

You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
Youre the one who can put out the fire

You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay
Doo, doo, doo ...

And if I wanted to
I could never be free
I never believed it was true
But now its so clear to me

You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
Youre the one who can put out the fire

You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay
Doo, doo, doo ...

Youre the one who can put out the fire
Youre the one who can put out the fire
Youre the one who can put out the fire ...

Reminder

2008-12-31T00:24:00.001-08:00

Abu Qatada (Radiyallahu 'anh) relates that the Holy Nabi (Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim) said,

"For fasting the day of 'Aashura', (the 10th of Muharram) I hope that Allah will accept it as an expiation for (the sins committed in) the previous year".

(Muslim)

Dreaming..is it bad..or gud..

2008-12-26T05:53:00.000-08:00

Adapted from 'Pilgrimage' by Paulo Coelho..

We must never stop dreaming. Dreams provide nourishment for the soul, just as meal does for the body. Many times in our lives we see our dreams shattered and our desires frustrated, but we have to continue dreaming. If we don't, our soul dies, and agape cannot each it.

A lot of blood has been shed in those fields out there, some of the cruelest battles of Spain's war to expel the Moors were fought on them. Who was in the right or who knew the truth does not matter, what's most important is knowing that both sides were fighting the good fight.

The good fight is the one we fight because our heart asks it of us. In the heroic ages, at the time of the knights in armor- this was easy. There were lands to conquer and much to do. Today, though, the world has change a lot, and the good fight has shifted from the battlefields to the fields within ourselves.

The good fight is the one that's fought in the name of our dreams. When we're young and our dreams first explode inside us with all of their force, we are very courageous, but we havent yet learned how to fight. With great effort, we learn how to fight, but by then we no longer have the courage to go into combat. So we turn against ourselves and do battle within. We become our own worst enemy. We say our dreams were childish, or too difficult to realize, or the result of our not having known enough about life. We kill our dreams because we are afraid to fight the good fight.

The first symptom of the process of our killing our dreams is the lack of time. THE BUSIEST PEOLPLE I HAVE KNOWN IN MY LIFE ALWAYS HAVE TIME ENOUGH TO DO EVERYTHING. I have known in my life always have time enough to do everything. Those who do nothing are always tired and pay no attention to the little amount of work they are required to do. They complain constantly that the day is too short. The truth is, they are afraid to fight the good fight.

The second symptom of the death of our dreams lies in our certainties. Because we don't want to see life as a grand adventure, we begin to think of ourselves as wise and fair and correct in asking so little of life. We look beyond the walls of our day-to-day existence, and we hear the sound of lances breaking, we smell the dust and the sweat, and we see the great defeats and the fire in the eyes of the worriors. But we never see the delight, the immense delight in the hearts of those who are engaged in the battle. For them, neither victory nor defeat is important, what's important is only that they are fighting the good fight.

And, finally, the 3rd symptom of the passing of our dreams is peace. Life becomes a Sunday afternoon; we ask for nothing grand, and we cease to demand anything more than we are willing to give. In that state, we think of ourselves as being mature; we put aside the fantasies of our youth, and we seek personal and professional achievement. We are surprised when people our age say that they still want this or that out of life. But really, deep in our hearts, we know that what has happened is that we have renounced the battle for our dreams- we have refused to fight the good fight.

When we renounce our dreams and find peace, we go through a short period of tranquility. But the dead dreams begin to rot within us and to infect our entire being. We become cruel to those around us, and then we begin to direct this cruelty against ourselves. That's when illness and psychoses arise. What we sought to avoid combat-disappointment and defeat-came upon us because of our cowardice. And one day, the dead, spoiled dreams make it difficult to breathe, and we actually seek death. It's death that free us from our certainties, from our work, and from that terruble peace of our Sunday afternoon......

Damn Too Good..Perfecto!

A tale from Paulo Coelho

2008-11-23T09:38:00.000-08:00

A shopkeeper sent his son to learn about the secret of happiness from the wisest man in the world. The lad wandered through the desert for forty days, and finally came upon a beautiful castle, high atop a mountain. It was there that the wise man lived.

Rather than finding a saintly man, though, on entering the main room of the castle, he saw a hive of activity: tradesman came and went, people were conversing in the corners, a small orchestra was playing soft music, and there was a table covered with platters of the most delicious food in that part of the world. The wise man conversed with everyone, and the boy had to wait for two hours before it was his turn to be given the man's attention.

The wise man listened attentively to the boy's explanation of why he had come, but told him that he didnt have time just then to explain the secret of happiness. He suggested that the boy look around the palace and return in two hours.

"Meanwhile, I want to ask u to do something", said the wise man, handing the boy a teaspoon that held 2 drops of oil. "As u wander around, carry this spoon with you without allowing theoil to spill".

The boy began climbing and descending the many stairways of the palace, keeping his eye fixed on the spoon. After 2 hours, he returned to the room where the wise man was.

"Well", asked the wise man, "did u see the Persian tapestries that are hanging in my dining hall? Did u see the garden that it took the master gardener 10 yrs to create? Did u notice the beautiful parchments in my library?".

The boy was embarassed, and confessed that he had observed nothing. His only concern had been not to spill the oil that the wise man had entrusted to him.

"Then go back and observe the marvels of my world", said the wise man. " U cannot trust a man if u dont know his house".

Relieved, the boy picked up the spoon and returned to his exploration of the palace, this time observing all of the works of art on the ceilings and the walls. He saw the gardens, the mountains all around him, the beauty of the flowers, and the taste with which everything had been selected. Upon returning to the wise man, he related in detail everything he had seen.

"But where are the drops of oil I entrusted to u?", asked the wise man.

Looking down at the spoon he held, the boy saw that the oil was gone.

"Well there is one piece of advice I can give u", said the wisest of wise men. The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon".......

Pulau Payar

2008-11-23T08:48:00.001-08:00

2 days after exam, on the 20th of nov2008, my sister and I had a great time at Pulau Payar.

Juz an hour and a half from Port Swetenham n yep..the trip was really nice.

Paid for rm185 per person, including fantastic bufet lunch, return boat ticket, swim, snork n diving equipment...sgt berbaloi maaa..

Pulau Payar is regarded as a marine park, so u can expect la so many corals around the island, school of fish yg pelbagai warne n xmengenal warna kulit...seriously..ade satu incidence ni byk sgt ikan serentak tgh mkn sampai bunyi diorg nye feeding, sound like sand sucking, xdpt imagine xpayah imagine..but diorg bkn in group of same type of fish, but rather bercampur ikan n pelbagai warne..all with same purpose....to eat..yep.

Then ade shark feeding kat tepi pantai..sgt cool..n kalau lucky, mase snorkeling tu bole terserempak dgn diorg..n juz pray for God it wont harm or bite you..haha..

Well to go there, you need to contact an agent, any agent pulau n they will redirect you to the one n only company..Langkawi Coral..this is the only company(rasenyela) yg ade contract utk bwk tourist masok tu Pulau Payar..becoz P.Payar sgt terjagalah pulaunye sampai xde org bole stay after 10pm but if you want to camp, need to get permission from Jabatan Perikanan Penang..

Ikan mmg sgt byk kat situ...so even kalu nk shower after snorkeling pon xdibenarkan gune shampoo or any type of sabun..the rasional is to keep the island free from any hazardous chemical potentially merosakkan coral kat situ..gud!

We took a boat at 8.30am, arrived at 10.++am, then got transfer to somewhat like a plantar, they called it 'catamaran' where all the activities, changing room, foods, facilities bole dpt kat situ. Then free for any activites, if u want to dive or snorkeling. At 12.15pm, lunch. The lunch was superb. Lots of food n sedap2 belake2. Then up to u after that whether nk gi feed shark or sambung balik swim, or juz lepak kat beaches, or ape2 jela..until 4.30pm. Then balik..hell best. Recommended to those swim mania or dive/snork mania.

Warwick Avenue

2008-11-18T20:47:00.000-08:00

When I get to Warwick Avenue

Meet me by the entrance of the tube

We can talk things over a little time

Promise me you won't step outta line

When I get to Warwick Avenue

Please drop the past and be true

Don't think we're okay, just because I'm here

You hurt me bad, but I won't shed a tear

I'm leaving you for the last time baby

You think you're loving but you don't love me

I've been confused outta my mind lately

You think you're loving but you don't love me

I want to be free, baby you've hurt me

When I get to Warwick Avenue

We'll spend an hour, but no more than two

Our only chance to speak once more

I showed you the answers, now here's the door

When I get to Warwick Avenue

I'll tell you baby that we're through

I'm leaving you for the last time baby

You think you're loving but you don't love me

I've been confused outta my mind lately

You think you're loving but you don't love me

I want to be free, baby you've hurt me

All the days spent together, I wished for better

But I didn't want the train to come

Now it's departed

I'm broken hearted, seems like we never started

All the days spent together, when I wished for better

And I didn't want the train to come

You think you're loving but you don't love me

I want to be free, baby you've hurt me

You don't love me, I want to be free

Baby you've hurt me

Head Crushing Exam..

2008-11-04T04:36:00.000-08:00

Wahaha..wat a day..wat a life..lame x mcm spill thoughts kat sini..
well here goes..rat a tat tat..haha..ape2 jela..

exam tadi susah gilos..mcm paper yg sengaje nk kene kan org..
ade possible kene amek balik..hopefully not, although rasenye mcq die tadi lbh kurg 70% bantai..
mcm pk better xpayah bace semlm..stay up late..tdo ala kadar..
topic yg bace tu kluar..mmg kluar..but then xbole jwb..way too detail from the way they design such questionn..

parent ckp..'xpe..kene amek balik amek jela..yg penting jgn putus asa..juz ke depan...'
hmm..btol jgakla..so wat kene amek balik..does it really define u as being a failure if u need to resit the exam..and come to think again does it gives u a satisfaction of buat exam n u know the topic but u juz dont have the time to really explore it well (gaya ckp org yg mendefend diri)..hahaa..

practically..mmgla nk abeskan master ni cpt2..mmg pk nk pass je cukupla..but sometimes, depends on people..u really want to gain that knowledge really well and its not juz the sake of passing the exam...mmg la status skrg kalu nk dpk xkan practice ape yg kite belajar..but its knowledge..and u need to commit to it..who knows in future wat that knowledge can do to us..

One adage says 'noyhing good come easy'..that certainly true..
Ade terpk gak ntah2 susah nak jwb exam tadi sbb byk sgt dosa..wahahaha..
so if anyone says..well that serves him/her rite bcoz of the things he/she done..terime jela..although u know deep in ur heart this is juz another obstacle that is place on u..
Then bile rethink again of satu past event ni yg sgt2 susah..sgt menguji jiwa..too much obstacles..to a point u think mayb this is not good for u (almost give up) or it juz do more harm than good..
then..whamp!..out of knowhere everything is in place again but much better..

so..kesimpulanye..xde kesimpulan..juz fight till the end and glory will come..hehehe..

A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space.

He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something seperated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his conciousness.

This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us.

Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty.

International Day of Peace, September 21

2008-09-20T03:46:00.000-07:00

MAY PEACE PREVAIL ON EARTH

The United Nations' International Day of Peace - marked every year on September 21 - is a global holiday when individuals, communities, nations and governments highlight efforts to end conflict and promote peace.

The International Day of Peace ("Peace Day") provides an opportunity for individuals, organizations and nations to create practical acts of peace on a shared date. It was established by a United Nations resolution in 1981 to coincide with the opening of the General Assembly. The first Peace Day was celebrated in September 1982.

"Where there is peace, there is culture; where there is culture, there is peace."
(Nicholas Roerich)

well..peace to all...

"If the first inward thought is not warded off, it will generate a desire, then his desire will generate a wish, and the wish will generate an intention, and the intention will generate the action, and the action will result in ruin and divine wrath. So evil must be cut off at its root, which is when it is simply a thought that crosses the mind, from which all the other things follow on."

Who rides the wrecking ball into our guitars

Looking for America, crawling through your schools

Yang penting di dalam bulan Ramadan ini adalah adab-adab yang kita kaitkan dengan ibadah puasa mestilah mempunyai asas yang boleh dipegang, iaitu al-Quran atau sunah. Antara adab-adab berbuka puasa yang dinyatakan di dalam hadis:

1. Menyegerakan berbuka apabila masuknya waktu atau disebut ta'jil al-Iftar. Ini berdasarkan hadis-hadis yang menyebut perkara ini, antaranya: Daripada Sahl bin Sa`ad bahawa Rasulullah s.a.w. bersabda:

"Manusia sentiasa dalam kebaikan selagi mereka menyegerakan berbuka puasa."
(Riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim).
Hadis ini menerangkan punca kebaikan di dalam agama ialah mengikut sunah Nabi s.a.w., iaitu Baginda menyegerakan berbuka puasa. Ini menolak dakwaan ajaran-ajaran karut yang kononnya melewatkan berbuka menambah pahala. Kata at-Tibi (meninggal 743H):

"Barangkali sebab Allah menyukai mereka yang bersegera membuka puasa, ialah kerana apabila seseorang berbuka puasa sebelum solat, membolehkannya menunaikan solat dengan dihadirkan hati. Juga ia menyanggahi ahli bidaah yang berpendapat wajib melewatkannya."
(at-Tibi, Syarh Miskhat al-Masabih, 4/183, cetakan Dar al-Kutub al-`Ilmiyyah, Berut).

2. Berbuka puasa dengan rutab, atau tamar atau air. Rutab ialah buah kurma yang telah masak sebelum menjadi tamar kering, ia lembut dan manis. Adapun tamar ialah buah kurma yang sudah kering. (lihat: al-Mu'jam al-Wasit 1/88). Sekarang di negara kita rutab sudah mula dikenali. Ia kurma yang masak dan masih lagi belum kering dan mengecut. Apabila ia mengecut dipanggil tamar. Di dalam hadis daripada Anas katanya:

"Bahawa Rasulullah s.a.w. berbuka puasa dengan beberapa biji rutab sebelum bersolat. Sekiranya tiada rutab, maka dengan beberapa biji tamar, dan sekiranya tiada tamar, maka Baginda minum beberapa teguk air."

(Riwayat Imam Ahamd dan Tirmizi, katanya hadis ini hasan) Al-Diya al-Maqdisi (meninggal 643H) telah mensahihkan hadis ini. (lihat: al-Ahadith al-Mukhtarah, 4/411 cetakan: Maktabah al-Nahdah al-Hadithah, Mekah).

Inilah tertib yang dilakukan oleh Baginda, pilihan pertama ialah rutab, jika tiada tamar dan jika tiada air. Kata al-Mubarakfuri (meninggal 1353H):

"Hadis ini menjadi dalil disunatkan berbuka puasa dengan rutab, sekiranya tiada, maka dengan tamar, dan sekiranya tiada, maka dengan air. Adapun pendapat yang menyatakan di Mekah disunatkan didahulukan air zam-zam sebelum tamar, atau mencampurkan tamar dengan air zam-zam adalah ditolak. Ini kerana ia menyanggahi sunah. Adapun Nabi telah berpuasa (di Mekah) banyak hari pada tahun pembukaan kota Mekah, namun tidak pernah diriwayatkan baginda menyalahi adat kebiasaannya mendahulukan tamar sebelum air."

(al-Mubarakfuri, Tuhfah al-Ahwazi, 3/311, cetakan Dar al-Kutub al-`Ilmiyyah, Beirut). Di samping itu, dakwaan jika tiada tamar, maka dengan buah-buahan yang lain juga tiada sebarang dalil daripada sunah Nabi s.a.w.

3. Menyegerakan solat Maghrib selepas berbuka dengan tamar atau air, sekiranya makanan belum dihidangkan. Hadis yang kita nyatakan di atas menunjukkan Baginda Nabi s.a.w. berbuka dengan rutab atau tamar atau air sebelum bersolat Maghrib. Maka kita disunatkan juga mengikuti langkah tersebut, iaitu selepas berbuka dengan perkara-perkara tadi, lantas terus menunaikan solat. Ini sekiranya makanan belum dihidangkan. Adapun sekiranya makanan telah dihidangkan di depan mata, maka dimakruhkan meninggalkan makanan untuk menunaikan solat. Ini berdasarkan apa yang dinyatakan dalam hadis-hadis baginda Nabi s.a.w. antaranya: Daripada Anas bin Malik r.a.: Bahawa Rasulullah s.a.w. bersabda:

"Apabila telah dihidangkan makan malam, maka mulakanlah ia sebelum kamu menunaikan solat Maghrib, dan jangan kamu tergopoh-gapah ketika makan malam kamu."
(Riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim).

Dalam hadis yang lain daripada Abdullah bin Umar, Baginda s.a.w. bersabda:

"Apabila dihidangkan makan malam seseorang kamu, sedangkan solat (jamaah) telah didirikan, maka mulailah dengan makan malam. Janganlah dia tergopoh-gapah sehinggalah dia selesa."
(Riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim).

Riwayat di atas juga menambah:
Bahawa Ibn Umar r.a. apabila dihidangkan untuknya makanan, manakala solat pula sedang didirikan, maka beliau tidak mendatangi solat melainkan hingga beliau selesai makan, sedangkan beliau mendengar bacaan imam. Ini kerana meninggalkan makanan dalam keadaan keinginan yang kuat untuk menjamahnya atau dalam perasaan lapar, boleh menghilangkan khusyuk di dalam solat, disebabkan ingatan terhadap makanan tersebut. Dengan itu para ulama menyatakan dimakruhkan solat setelah makanan terhidang di hadapan mata. Kata an-Nawawi (meninggal 676H): Di dalam hadis-hadis tersebut dimakruhkan solat apabila terhidangnya makanan yang hendak dimakan kerana ia boleh mengganggu hati dan menghilangkan kesempurnaan khusyuk.

(An-Nawawi, Syarh Sahih Muslim, 4/208, cetakan: Dar al-Khair, Beirut).

Sebenarnya bukan pada makan malam atau solat Maghrib sahaja kita disunatkan mendahulukan makanan yang dihidang sebelum solat, bahkan sunah ini meliputi semua solat dan waktu makan kerana dibimbangi menghilangkan khusyuk. Ini sekiranya makanan telah terhidang di depan mata. Al-Munawi (meninggal 1031H) pula menyebut:

"Hadis tersebut menyatakan hendaklah didahulukan makan malam sebelum solat Maghrib. Namun ia juga dipraktikkan juga pada solat-solat yang lain. Ini kerana punca arahan ini ialah bimbang hilangnya khusyuk."

(al-Munawi, Faidh al-Qadir, 1/295, cetakan: al-Maktabah al-Tijariyyah al-Kubra, Mesir).

Malangnya ada di kalangan yang kurang faham, lalu mereka menyatakan bahawa kalau azan sudah berkumandang, hidangan dan makanan hendaklah ditinggalkan demi mengutamakan solat jemaah. Inilah kedangkalan meneliti hadis-hadis Nabi s.a.w., lalu mengandaikan agama dengan emosi sendiri.

Adapun sekiranya makanan belum terhidang atau perasaan keinginan terhadap makanan tiada, maka tidaklah dimakruhkan untuk terus solat. Ini bukanlah bererti kita disuruh mementingkan makanan melebihi solat, sebaliknya tujuan arahan Nabi s.a.w. ini ialah untuk memastikan kesempurnaan solat. Al-Imam Ibn Hajar al-`Asqalani (meninggal 852H) memetik ungkapan Ibn Jauzi (meninggal 597H):

"Ada orang menyangka bahawa mendahulukan makanan sebelum solat adalah bab mendahulukan hak hamba ke atas hak Tuhan. Sebenarnya bukan demikian, tetapi ini adalah menjaga hak Allah agar makhluk masuk ke dalam ibadahnya dengan penuh tumpuan. Sesungguhnya makanan mereka (para sahabat) adalah sedikit dan tidak memutuskan mereka daripada mengikuti solat jemaah."

(Ibn Hajar al-`Asqalani, Fath al-Bari, 2/385, cetakan: dar al-Fikr, Beirut).

4. Makan dengan kadar yang tidak berlebihan ketika berbuka. Ini bertepatan dengan firman Allah s.w.t. maksudnya:
Dan makan dan minumlah kamu, dan jangan berlebih-lebihan. Sesungguhnya Dia tidak suka orang yang berlebih-lebihan. (Surah al-`Araf:31).

Di dalam hadis Baginda s.a.w. menyebut:
"Anak Adam itu tidak memenuhi suatu bekas yang lebih buruk daripada perutnya. Cukuplah bagi anak Adam itu beberapa suap yang dapat meluruskan tulang belakangnya (memberikan kekuatan kepadanya). Sekiranya tidak dapat, maka satu pertiga untuk makanan, satu pertiga untuk minuman dan satu pertiga untuk pernafasan."

(Riwayat Tirmizi, katanya: hadis ini hasan sahih. Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar al-`Asqalani dalam Fath al-Bari menyatakan hadis ini hasan).

Hadis ini salah difahami oleh sesetengah pihak, lalu mereka menyangka Nabi s.a.w. menyuruh umatnya jika makan, hendaklah satu pertiga untuk makanan, satu pertiga untuk minuman dan satu pertiga untuk pernafasan. Sebenarnya jika kita teliti hadis ini bukan demikian, pembahagian tersebut ialah had maksimum. Kalau boleh kurang daripada itu. Sebab itu Baginda menyebut jika tidak dapat, maka tidak melebihi pembahagian tadi. Namun yang lebih utama digalakkan sekadar yang dapat memberi tenaga.

5. Berdoa ketika berbuka. Ini berdasarkan hadis Nabi s.a.w.:

"Sesungguhnya bagi orang berpuasa itu, doa yang tidak ditolak ketika dia berbuka."

(Riwayat Ibn Majah, sanadnya pada nilaian hasan dan ke atas. Ishaq bin `Abd Allah al-Madani dithiqahkan oleh Abu Zur'ah dan disebut saduq oleh al-Zahabi dalam al-Kasyif ).

Maka kita boleh berdoa dengan apa sahaja doa yang kita hajati. Doa orang berpuasa makbul disebabkan jiwa yang telah dibersihkan daripada kotoran dosa dan syahwat. Justeru itu al-Munawi menyebut:

"Hadis di atas hanya untuk sesiapa yang telah menunaikan tanggungjawab puasa dengan menjaga lidah, hati dan anggota."
(Faidh al-Qadir, 2/500).

Di sana ada doa yang ditunjukkan oleh Nabi s.a.w. ketika berbuka dan disunatkan kita membacanya:

"Adalah Rasulullah s.a.w. apabila berbuka, Baginda bersabda: Telah hilanglah dahaga, telah basahlah peluh (hilang kekeringan) dan telah tetaplah pahala, insya-Allah."
(Riwayat Abu Daud, sanadnya hasan)

Namun setiap orang yang menunaikan puasa dengan sepenuhnya, hendaklah merebut peluang doa yang makbul ketika dia berbuka.

6. Berdoa kepada sesiapa yang menjamu kita berbuka, kata Anas r.a.:
"Baginda s.a.w. pernah datang kepada (rumah) Saad bin Ubadah. Dia menghidangkan roti dan minyak. Baginda pun makan dan bersabda: Telah berbuka puasa di sisi kamu mereka yang berpuasa, telah makan makanan kamu mereka yang baik dan telah berselawat ke atas kamu para malaikat."
(Riwayat Abu Daud, Diya al-Maqdisi dalam Al-Ahadith al-Mukhtarah menyatakan ia sahih 5/158). Maka berdoalah kepada mereka yang menjamu kita berbuka puasa. Ini adab yang sangat baik.

Demikian senarai adab-adab yang terkandung di dalam sunah Nabi s.a.w. ketika berpuasa. Semoga pengamalan adab-adab ini menambahkan lagi pahala puasa kita

Que Sera Sera- Doris Day

2008-08-20T01:44:00.000-07:00

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty, will I be rich
Here's what she said to me.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

When I was young, I fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows, day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, what will I be
Will I be handsome,
will I be rich
I tell them tenderly.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

Pulau Payar

2008-08-15T05:01:00.001-07:00

The Pulau Payar Marine Park is situated in the northern part of the Straits of Malacca, near Kuala Kedah and thirty kilometers south of Pulau Langkawi. It is a very popular tourist destination.

The Pulau Payar Marine Park covers two nautical miles off four little islands - Pulau Payar (the largest), Pulau Kaca, Pulau Lembu and Pulau Segantang. None of the island is inhabited, except by on-duty officers of the Fisheries Department, who enforce the law. Fishing, either for hobby or commercial, is strictly prohibited around the islands. There is no accommodation on the islands. However, for the more adventurous tourist who would like to rough it out with nature, camping is allowed with permission from the Fisheries Department at Alor Setar, the capital of Kedah state.

A day trip to the Pulau Payar Marine Park is the only option for most tourists. This tourist spot can be accessed from three major points-Kuah, on Langkawi Island, Kuala Kedah on the mainland, and Penang Island. From Kuah or Kuala Kedah the boat ride takes about 45 minutes, whereas from Penang, it may take slightly more than an hour.

Petua Mencuci Hati oleh Datuk Dr Haji Fadzilah Kamsah

Segala aspek kehidupan ini bermula daripada hati. Oleh itu, dibawah ini ada beberapa cara bagaimana hendak mencuci hati, diolah oleh pakar motivasi Datuk Dr. Haji Fadzilah Kamsah.}

1. Dirikan solat dan banyakkan berdo'a - Ini adalah salah satu kaedah yang sungguh berkesan.

2. Selawat ke atas Nabi Muhammad s.a.w paling minima 100X sebelum tidur. Ini merupakan satu pelaburan yang mudah dan murah. Disamping dosa-dosa diampunkan, otak tenang,murah rezeki, orang sayangkan kita dan mencetuskan semua perkara kebaikan.

3. Solat taubat - Selain daripada memohon keampunan, dapat mencuci hati dan menenangkan minda.

4. Membaca Al-Quran - Selain dapat mencuci hati juga menenangkan jiwa, penyembuh, penenang, terapi. Sekurang- kurangnya bacalah "Qulhu-allah" sebanyak 3X.

5. Berma'af-ma' afan sesama kawan setiap hari - Semasa meminta maaf perlu sebutkan.

6. Bisikan kepada diri perkara yang positif - Jangan sesekali mengkritik, kutuk diri sendiri, merendah-rendahkan kebolehan diri sendiri. Katakan lah: "Aku sebenarnya.. ....(perkara yang elok2 belaka).

7. Program minda/cuci minda - Paling baik pada waktu malam sebelum tidur, senyum, pejam mata. Katakan didalam hati: "Ya Allah, cuci otak aku, cuci hatiku. Esok aku nak jadi baik, berjaya, ceria, bersemangat, aktif, positif." Menurut kajian saikologi, apa yang disebut sebelum tidur dapat dirakamkan sepanjang tidur sehingga keesokan harinya - CUBALAH!!).

8. Berpuasa - Sekiranya dalam berpuasa, terhindar dari melakukan perkara2 kejahatan.

9. Cuba ingat tentang mati (Sekiranya hendak melakukan sesuatu kejahatan, tidak sampai hati kerana bimbang akan mati bila2 masa).

10. Kekalkan wuduk.

11. Bersedekah.

12. Belanja orang makan.

13. Jaga makanan - jangan makan makanan yang subhat (was2, tidak pasti halal atau tidak).

14. Berkawan dengan ulama.

15. Berkawan dengan orang miskin (menginsafi) .

16. Pesan pada orang, jadi baik.

17. Menjaga pancaindera (mata, telinga, mulut... dsb). Jangan dengar orang mengumpat.

"Sampaikanlah pesanan ini walaupun 1 ayat."

Walaupun mungkin ada diantara kita yang pernah melihat kontroversi yang melanda pakar motivasi terkenal nie, tetapi saya tidaklah sampai mengabaikan saranan dan petua beliau kerana menghormati tahap keilmuannya. Perlu juga kita hargai walaupun terdapat sedikit kecacatan kerana Datuk Dr Fadzilah sendiri kurang berjaya men- cuci hati anak2nya. Semoga yang baik dapat kita terima dan jadikan teladan untuk kehidupan yang lebih di redhai Allah. Insya'allah

Benefits of Sleeping On The Job

2008-07-25T02:43:00.000-07:00

It seems the Spanish may have been onto something all along. Researchers at City College of New York sleep lab have found that a 45 minute daytime nap can help a person remember facts.

The brain files newly acquired memories into two main compartments. Those relating to skills go into our 'procedural memory' compartment, while those concerning facts-such as the stuff we learn from books, ducumentaries and from interacting with other people-end up in our declarative memories.

The experiment led by Dr. Matthew Tucker, a Harvard Medical School fellow, tested 33 people on their declarative memory capabilities to remember unrelated word pairs, mazes and complexe line drawings.

The volunteers who took a 45 minute nap at the start of the three hour break between memorising and testing performed much betterthan those who stayed in the lab and watched TV.

Dare to Live (Vivere) by Andrea Bocelli and Laura Pausini

2008-07-22T21:21:00.000-07:00

Try looking at tomorrow not yesterday
And all the things you left behind
All those tender words you did not say
The gentle touch you couldn’t find

In these days of nameless faces
There is no one truth but only pieces
My life is all i have to give
Dare to live until the very last
Dare to live forget about the past
Dare to live giving something of yourself to others
Even when it seems there’s nothing more left to give

Ma se tu vedessi l’uomo
Davanti al tuo portone
Che dorme avvolto in un cartone,
Se tu ascoltassi il mondo una mattina
Senza il rumore della pioggia,
Tu che puoi creare con la tua voce,
Tu, pensi i pensieri della gente,
Poi, di Dio c’e solo Dio.

Vivere, nessuno mai ce l’ha insegnato,
Vivere, non si può vivere senza passato,
Vivere è bello anche se non l’hai chiesto mai,
Una canzone ci sarà, qualcuno che la canterà

Dare to live searching for the ones you love
(Perché, perché, perché, perché non vivi questa sera?)
Dare to live no one but we all
(Perché, perché, perché, perché non vivi ora?)
Dare to live until the very last
(Perché, perché, perché la vita non è vita)
Your life is all you have to give
(Perché)non l’hai vissuta
Vivere!

Dare to live until the very last
(Perché, perché, perché Ia vita non è vita)
Your life is all you have to give (Perché)
non l’hai vissuta mai

I will say no (I will say yes)
Say dare to live
Dare to live

Words Are Stuck to the Heart My Friend- Outlandish

2008-07-22T12:13:00.001-07:00

Time after time we dream
Dreaming of how it all could be
But none can say what lies ahead
When after the dawn the sun will set
Only the truth remains in here

Mmmm...
Promises we make in vain and
Words we give for a while to break
A flower fades away - like everything else
Oh everything fades away

Words are stuck to the heart my friend
Words are stuck to the heart my friend
They bring us together 'til we part again
They bring us together 'til we part again
When there's nothing left to share
And all the words will disappear
Only the truth remains in here
Words are stuck to the heart my friend

My friend, my friend
Cuando solo el silencio canta (when only silence sings)
my friend, my friend, my friend
Y solo tus sueños bastan (when your dreams are sufficient)

Blood ain't blood for just the veins
If tears don't bleed the heart has failed
Need some space to ease my mind
I give it all up for just a smile
Only the truth remains in here

Mmmm...Promises we make in vain and
Words we give for a while to break
A flower fades away - like everything else
Oh everything fades away

Words are stuck to the heart my friend
Words are stuck to the heart my friend
They bring us together 'til we part again
They bring us together 'til we part again
When there's nothing left to share
And all the words will disappear
Only the truth remains in here
Words are stuck to the heart my friend

From street thugs
To ghetto sufis
Holding their breaths
We clutch to riches and fame
Like it's all that's left
Righteousness is kept
Through minds awakened
Today we break our word
Like the bread we breaking

Así que tus palabras son mi cuna
Mi promesa es tu luna
Y cuando tu verso es verde claro que busca en el monte amparo
Mi verso es un puñal que da agua de coral
Llevo promesas tatuadas en el pecho

[Translation]
Like your words are my sanctuary
My promise is your moon
And when your verse is pure green
Searching in the sheltering wilderness
Then my verse is a dagger
Of clear coral water
I carry promises tattooed on my chest

Words are stuck to the heart my friend
Words are stuck to the heart my friend
They bring us together 'til we part again
They bring us together 'til we part again
When there's nothing left to share
And all the words will disappear
Only the truth remains in here
Words are stuck to the heart my friend

Wish me luck!

My Way-Paul Anka

2008-06-15T06:41:00.000-07:00

And now, the end is near
And so i face the final curtain
My friend, i'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which i'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I've traveled each and every highway
But more, much more than this
I did it my way

Regrets, i've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what i had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned ech charted course
Each careful step along the byway
But more, much more than this
I did it my way

Yes there were times, i'm sure you all knew
When I bit off more than i could chew
But through it all, when there was doubts
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say-Not in a shy way
No, oh no not me
I did it my way

For what is a man, what has he got
If not himself, then he has now
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way.......

Trachypithecus cristatus

Silvered leaf monkey

-found throughout Southeastern Asia and Indonesia, including the Malayan Peninsula, Borneo.

-Silvered leaf monkeys get their name from the coloring of their pelage. There is some variation in the color of their fur, including brown, gray, brownish-gray, or black.

-Newborns have orange fur and white colored hands, feet, and face. The skin changes color within days of birth to black, as in the adults of this species. The orange fur changes to the adult color within three to five months.

-feed primarily on leaves, with a preference for young leaves. As herbivores, they also eat some other vegetation including fruit, seeds, shoots, flowers, and buds.

-is the most silent of the colobine species and researchers describe these monkeys as being grave, serious, expressionless, and slow moving.

-is a very shy species, individuals are occasionally seen in the vicinity of human settlements, but retreat quickly if they feel threatened

I'm Yours-Jason Mraz

Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but your so hot that i melted
I fell right through the cracks, and i'm tryin to get back
before the cool done run out i'll be givin it my best test
and nothin's gonna stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

I won't hesitate no more,
no more, it cannot wait i'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love
listen to the music at the moment maybe sing with me
Ah, la peaceful melody
It's your god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved Loved

So, i won't hesitate no more,
no more, it cannot wait i'm sure
there's no need to complicate our time is short
this is our fate, i'm yours

I've been spendin' way too long checkin' my tongue in the mirror
and bendin' over backwards just to try to see it clearer
my breath fogged up the glass
and so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I'm a sayin'is there ain't no better reason
to rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
it's what we aim to do
our name is our virtue

I won't hesitate no more, no more
it cannot wait, i'm sure
(there's no need to complicate
our time is short it cannot wait, i'm yours 2x

no please don't complicate, our time is short
this is our fate, im yours.
no please don't hesitate no more, no more
it cannot wait, the sky is yours!)

well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
ah, la one big family
it's your god forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved
open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
ah, la happy family
it's our god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved
listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
ah, la peaceful melodies
it's you god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved...
