Walking down memory lane [glasgow]

welcome to Glasgow



Sadly I don't remember much about the details....vague memories,yes :(



Babuji's uni and my kindie was also here....hoho

houses were mostly tall like in the picture...

Iftar at the Central Mosque



my school!

All pictures were taken from mr.Google. Gosh I really miss Glasgow....Anyone out there who went to the same school with me  [1993-1996]? I only got in-touch with my used to be best friend, Anjali  but that's about it.....huhu....I can still remember some faces like the teachers, janitor and friends.

The place where I got to master an accent   [which I no longer have]

The place where I learnt how to eat ice-cream during winter  [loved it!]

The place where I learnt how to socialize in different cultures  [sometimes I go back to my friends houses without my dad's consent....jahatnya!]

The place where I did so many mischievous things with my gang!

The place where I got involved in celebrating all those X-Mas,Easter,Halloween

The place where we would go for daily tour to places [including churches,temples,fire station,botanical park,museum,etc]

 I could go forever so I'd better stop lah....


P/S: Mrs.Eizaz, this is for you too =)



*******************************************************************************

So I read a link on Kak Wardina's Twitter : here   [I am so sorry but this issue is so absurd, there's no such thing as an 'Islamic' gay marriage....na'uzubillah min zalik]


The world is very near to its end


May He forgive us all,ameen

Rights of the Righteous

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim,

As we all should be aware of, the situation in Egypt has turned from bad to worst. It has even spread to other parts of the Middle East countries. This spirit of freedom is somehow outbursting from all parts of the countries.

A short vid clip about the chronology of what's happening  : HERE

Under the reign of Hosni Mubarak [for 30 years!], they have been denied of their total rights as the citizens. Not only that, being the ally of the West [u know who], the government [under his rule] has been denying the rights of Rafah where help cannot be transferred there. It's like having a blood related brother trying to sell of his own brother  [Muslim country helping the West to overtake the other Muslim country]

Some readings: HERE, HERE, HERE

It's a common fact that whenever a supposed-to-be peaceful demo turns out riotous, it must be because of the police force. Releasing all the tear gas and whatnot bullets and then accusing the people had turned out violent and aggressive.

This situation of wanting the government particularly H.B to step down might set a new ambiance to the whole crisis. The freedom of Al-Quds like we have been anticipating for all this while And I quote some spirited statuses from Ustaz Hasrizal:

 Riot is not an easy option. People will only take to streets when they lost their confidence in the system and the politicians. Egypt is a strong reminder to those in power who shamelessly abuse our system!

Menjatuhkan Hosni Ghair Mubarak, bukan hanya untuk memulihkan Mesir, malah untuk membuka sekatan di Rafah! Palestin.... you'll find the way! Keep praying...  [translation: taking down Hosni Ghair mubarak is not only to improve Egypt, but also to open back the blocked passage in Rafah! ]

We still can't get through to the people there. The Internet is still down, miraculously, 'someone' released the prisoners and gave them weapons to run amok in the streets. The police aren't patrolling. People not involved in the riot are hiding in their homes fearing that someone would come knock their doors and rob them   [ whom? wallahu 'alam]. I got to know this from some friends, they hear gunshots most of the time right before their ears. Food supplies, water supplies have been cut down. For so many years, the Palestinians have been experiencing this situation. This might whisper the spirit of solidarity on a new level. Not just saying that we support our brothers and sisters but actually experiencing the same feeling  [ I guess]. Regardless, I do pray for their safety and well-being.

God knows until when this situation will prolong. At least until the people's demand is commenced. For Hosni Mubarak to step down. Enough is enough with your dictatorship. Enough is enough with your disloyalty towards your own people. Please step down nice and quietly already!

Those not affected, at least try to acknowledge this situation and know the truth about our brothers and sisters in Islam. Don't be so ignorant just because we are SO FAR away and that we should not bother [ no offense but I am quite disappointed by some people who's making fun about this matter]. This is a matter of solidarity among the Muslims throughout the world so please be a bit conscientious. [a reminder to myself]

Peace for freedom, inshaAllah!

Allahu musta'an....May He help those in the righteous path,ameen~

just a thought

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Compassionate

*no harms intended*

From Ibn Masood (ra) who said that the Prophet (sas) said:

“Among that which reached the people from the words of the earlier prophethood: If you feel no shame, then do whatever you wish.”
HR Bukhari, Kitab Adab, hadith no. 6120.

"If you don't have anything nice to say, remain silent"





Nowadays people think they have the power to express whatever they want freely and where's the best way to vent out everything? SOCIAL NETWORKING WEBSITES

OK,clearly not the right person to be specifying this matter [hint, just read this blog as a start sometimes yapping non-sensically] but hey...I'm speaking out to myself as a reminder too :D,so bear with me on this ;)


"Some things are better kept within yourselves and you don't have to share it with the whole world to know". People would be either; 1) they sincerely care  2) they just wanna gossip  3) they are just curious


And that is a problem why?

Well, as a start.......when you start yapping about a situation you have been through and you stated it so negatively as if  [no, you indeed are] you are blaming someone for the predicament you had to face then people start to ask questions....then you go around the bushes.....flames become a big fire.....comes in all those nasty swearing words....comes in all those immature statements that somehow does not even relate to the first statement given and look where it will end you to? random people who have no other beneficial stuffs to do join along the party and the 'chain' continues.

Where did it get you to?

self-satisfaction?

a solution?

a peace of mind and heart?

or you just created a chain of sins and dragged everyone involved in the conversation with you ?



YES nobody can stop you from expressing your thoughts, but once in awhile, do try to THINK first before you express

Don't make people resent you but could not say anything at you because they know you'd make a big fuss out of it and twist it to something that would make you appear as the 'victim'

People 'tegur'  [ok I forgot what is tegur in english] you because they care....out of pure love for a human-being and if you could not take it positively, just don't blurt it out publicly because in the end, it'll just downgrade yourself infront of people....

Instead of asking for people's respect....TRY TO RESPECT YOURSELF first..................it's a start you know and a good one too =)


and let's TRY to have this feeling of SHAME towards Him....feel a little bit ashamed before you write,before you say,before you do and see what bad things you can avoid doing.

People help because they care and they ignored whatever bad things they know or heard about you so please,in return, try not to act so immaturely. Try to be grateful and respectful....towards Allah, towards yourselves and towards the people around you. You don't need to be a saint to do that....you just need to practice the virtues of a human,a person and on top of that, as a MUSLIM. 

And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe.' "
[Surah Ibrahim: 7]


Again, as a reminder to me first and hopefully you can benefit a thing or two. 


Thank you for your time



peace!

Changing is good

Changing for the better cause is even excellent

But, when you start belittling others as if you have never been in their shoes, ghalat hai, so wrong!

We must never forget He Who could give us the 'nur' could also take it away, na'uzubillah

Past

It has been 8 months since I left the title as a student. Precisely 8 months. My last paper was on the 8th of April [3-5Pm] and today it is the 8th of December. A long unnoticeable 8 months. How time flies by so quickly.

Studying had always been the apple of my eye something that seems stressful yet enjoying at the same time. The ambiance you get in different classes with different lecturers and different classmates with 1001 colourful characters are such an awe experience. Sometimes a classroom can be so dull till you literally sleep with your eyes wide open even if it was the first class in the morning and sometimes you just can't wait to go to a class where you find the whole factors [lecturer-subject-classmates] interesting <--unfair right? I know most of you are just like me, teheee :p. Everyday can be different, the mood, the excitement, the whom you meet and what they did that could influence your life  [alahai mcm ayat novel lah pulak]

And now, after 8 long months, tip-toeing a new life as an employee sure feels different. Adapting is something hard and even harder for an introvert like me but I'm very good at playing confident so that would be one of my precious weapon.

Say.....actually I miss....no....I terribly miss the old life back-forwarding more than 8 months ago. That hectic+pressuring+demanding lecturers+ridiculous amount of assignments-PRESENTATIONS+sometimes bored to death classes would be the ones I'd truly want to re-live once again even if it meant only for a week.

See....don't get me wrong here. I don't resent my current life in fact I'm enjoying it day by day but the working force is not the same as the studying phase.

 But, the concept stays: learning new things everyday but work also means applying what I learn so goodbye Shakespeare I don't need you in my new life...haha [sorry literature lovers :D] and also it is still an AMANAH for me to treasure and do things appropriately and dedicatedly, just like when I had to do my assignments, yeahh still the same.


What I want to say is: while you are still in a situation [be it studying-working-young-healthy,etc], try to create nice memories out of it, try to be more appreciative, try to be more grateful, try to make things right before it all becomes a PAST TENSE and leaves you to....well....like what I'm doing.....melancholically blogging about it....huahuahua


p/s: the italicized words are not that valid so don't use it in formal usage okay :p


I can't wait to do my Masters! I hope the time will come very very soon :), inshaAllah, pray for me eyh?! mucho gracias in advance ^^

IKLAN: DIKESEMPATAN INI JUGA SAYA INGIN MENGUCAPKAN TAHNIAH KEPADA RAKAN2 YANG SUDAH SAH bernikah BERGELAR GRADUAN UIA DAN YANG SUDAH MENDAPAT PEKERJAAN, MABRUK KEPADA SEMUA! ^^. Kepada yang belum, jangan sedih2....rezeki Allah ada dimana2,jgn putus mencari dan berdoa kepadaNya...I pray you all the best =)

WOULD YOU MARRY YOURSELF?

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Compassionate


Alhamdulillah pagi Selasa 1 Muharram kunjung tiba

Pagi Selasa yang dimulakan dengan mendengar kuliah online dari Ustaz Elfino Johari live from London 

tapi sayang xsempat dengar dari mula...hopefully adalah orang yang akan buat overall review nanti,siapa2 tahu minta jasa baik bg link ye :)

Tajuk kuliah ialah: WOULD YOU MARRY YOURSELF?

So sebab xsempat nak dengar dari mula, hanya sempat dengar sesi Q&A sahaja, dibawah ada beberapa quotations dari ustaz sendiri merujuk kepada soalan2 yang ditanya. Correct me if I got any info wrong:

PERLU KE JODOH DICARI?
Ye, sebab jodoh itu REZEKI dan rezeki mesti dicari

Kalau kita nak menilai kebaikan2 dalam diri seseorang [dalam hal mencari jodoh rasanya], kita kena nilai kebaikan diri kita dahulu. Kitalah yang perlu mencantikkan akhlak dan perilaku diri. [ mahukah kita berkahwin dengan diri kita atas pantulan itu???]

Apa hukum kalau xmahu terima jodoh yang telah ditetapkan oleh parents?
Tak salah sebab semuanya kembali kepada keredhaan si wanita/lelaki itu  [dengan kompromi lah]

Apa nak jawab kalau tanya "bila kau nak kawen?"
Cuba letakkan sasaran instead of the lame answers [more to loyar buruk]

So....after this....my answer would be.....jeng3.....tunggulah siapa berani nak tanya lagi...haha

Kita tidak boleh diskredit/disregard atau merendah2kan diri sendiri sebab rasa diri xlayak untuk sekian2 individu  [rumusan]

BOLEH X KALAU TAK MAHU BERKAHWIN SAMPAI BILA2?
Bukan dikalangan pengikut nabi kalau menolak sunnahnya T_T....tetapi....ada tetapinya....


Wah,ada recorded link  : BOLEH DENGAR KULIAH ONLINE DISINI ^^  [org Msia pun dengar ustaz:p]

Maal Hijrah

DOA AKHIR TAHUN DAN AWAL TAHUN


Alhamdulillah praises be to Allah for everything He has given up until now

We have entered a new year. 1 Muharram 1432 Hijrah

1431 Hijrah has been a very momentous year for me. A life turner. Just a little glimpse of the meaningful events that happened throughout the year:

April until July:
Graduated early
Visitted family in Manchess and stayed for around near 3 months
Bestie came to Manchess
Went to visit bestie in Dublin   [ okay, Ireland is a must explore country, noted!]
Got my first freelance job

August until October:
Launched a little translating/editing/proofreading service
Had the first interview experience but was rejected because I innocently blurted out my 2-3 years future plan [nak sambung buat Master....patut diam2 je] but I accept it as "not my rezeki"
Settled all the clearance matters and had a chance to visit friends in UIA for a couple of times but when you're no longer an official part of the system, you feel awkward and inferior
Had my Convocation Day
Applied for a freelancer position and did a test

October-December:
After 3 weeks, received an email saying I passed the test and there was an interview requirement so felt awkward because why need interviews for freelance works but it was on skype so no problemo
After the interview, I was offered a full-time position instead of freelance
Agreed due to the terms and everything as I wanted something that will last long [commitment wise]
Signed the agreement
Sort of online training using CAT tools 
Dinner party with the girls in ASIAH  [sweet memory of celebrating their graduation]

December:
Received first work on the 1st of December, very technical-ish and demanding in terms of dateline per day but managed to settle all by the end of the day.
First time meeting with the boss face2face on 5th of December
First time meeting with another colleague and worked in the temporary actual office in Menara Citibank [for a fresh graduate like me, the office was biggg and very exclusive...]
Will be working at the office until Friday inshaAllah before boss flies back to his country on Saturday

Alhamdulillah....I had to wait for awhile but at last, He gave me the best !


New year's resolution:

Work hard and be an expert on the tools I will be using   [inshaAllah]
Do Master with Allah's will
Be a better person in all aspects
Earn many money
DSLR
Weddingsssss  [ more and more friends and besties are getting married]
Take things one at a time and do it wonderfully I hope bi'iznillah
No need long list just do the best in whatever I do =)

Dear self:

Looking at the 1431 list ,you should be so grateful. For 1432, improve better OK?


So, everyone: Salam Maal Hijrah. May Allah bless us all ^^

Learn Grateful by heart

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Compassionate



In the middle of the night I started to think [well, it's actually 2.15 am ]:



As a human being, we have this natural habit of feeling dissatisfied once in a while. We receive something and in a blink of an eye, we want something more, better. The urge to 'want' something will never fade. Or maybe We have something but later on feel that "oh, this is boring,dull, I want to get rid of it ASAP!"....That is just how our system works, right?


"...This is from the favor of my Lord to test me whether I will be grateful or ungrateful. And whoever is grateful - his gratitude is only for [the benefit of] himself. And whoever is ungrateful - then indeed, my Lord is Free of need and Generous." (An:Naml: 40)



But, we always forget the One who runs the system.... For everything we received, there must be a giver, right? In the favor from Allah to his servants, it is a 'test' to evaluate how well we appreciate what is given.



"So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me". (Al-Baqarah: 152)

It is to Allah we should turn to, the Sole Creator. The One who has total power to give, hold or take back whatever is given.

But, how?

"O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient".
 (Al-Baqarah:153)

Never fail to hope from Allah, to pray, to give an effort that is worth the granting we are praying for....






But I've prayed hard enough, worked hard enough, settled with my one hope hard enough but I don't see any rewarding returns. Why is that so?


"But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not". (Al-Baqarah:216)




Educating the self to be a grateful person is hard especially when you see others having MORE and even BETTER [own assumption] that you. For a starter, let's try comparing to those who are less fortunate than us. Example: we are able to eat chicken everyday in a comfy environment but somewhere out there, people are killing among themselves just to get the flour distribution and don't have the perfect clean utensils to cook in and hardly having any luxurious side dishes. Not to mock the whole situation but to take a stop and ponder  " how wonderful my life as compared to X [whatever unpleasant] situation"......That should do the trick of learning how to be appreciative.


A whisper:

oh Allah, if I can't have what I want, then please let me want what I'll have and be grateful~


Still hard?


Who said life was easy?


Ups and downs, give and take, received and taken back from or even stagnant......it's all part of life and also  [an-Naml: 40]



Wallahu a'alam

The Sad Banana

Why was the Banana sad?

Because he was a-kelaa!    [ hahahaha funny!]

This is a joke and you are supposed to laugh

Don't get the joke?

Oh well, let's learn some hindi shall we?

The word BANANA in hindi is = KELAA   and the word  LONELY/ALONE is = AKELAA so because he was a-kelaa means both because he was a banana and because he was lonely.

Because he is a lonely banana,LOL

source: here

Here's one funny BANANA video. The dad is either too bored over the same situation or controlling his laugh [which I think he is ]

When I was little, I used to watch Bananas in Pyjamas but I don't find it interesting anymore.

What's with all the Banana stuffs?

Nothing much, just craving for the best-est  'pisang goreng cicah sambal kicap' only to be found in JB 

pisang goreng cicah sambal kicap sedut dari google

Awkward at first but will never hate it afterwards :)

Let's learn how to acquire English!

google-ed

Salam to all,

So,as the title goes, how do you learn your English?

Well, let's go through some of the best options practiced by many:

1) Read  - You should read just about anything in English  ( please, a decent one ). There are two methods of reading. One is reading in silent and the other one is reading out loud  [okay,make sure there's no one busy near you or you might annoy them  :D ] [and the third method would be through imaginations and dreams,ha..ha]  . And don't start with the materials, there are plenty of them. You could read the hard copies or soft copies  

2) Listen - I'm guessing most people love listening to Western songs [ come on, don't be shy to admit! :p ]. Try YouTube for some English academical materials, focus more on the English usage when you use the public transportation [okay, I think this only implies the LRT ]

3) Watch - When you are watching any English drama/movies, try to avoid the subtitles. Focus on how they use the language leisurely and inshaAllah if you try to imitate them, one day you'll be as good as them

4) Write - got a FB account? blog? tumblr?twitter?and the whatnot's? WRITE in IT in ENGLISH! ashamed of committing any mistakes? well, it's better you commit it in a leisure social website rather than you use it in academic,important matters  [ like when you do your thesis? ]...and if you write in blogs [like blogspot ], there is the function which enables you to detect any typos after writing so it would help in a way ;)

5) Play  - what? I like playing! [say it to yourself ]...go buy English crossword books and do them, not only it can trigger your English, it can enrich your vocabularies as well ;)....and just search for any English-related games, there's plenty of them

6) Speak - don't be ashamed to speak English with your friends, when you are in an English classroom, totally use it! try make a deal with one or two friends and talk to them in English for a start :)...if you go shopping, speak English with the SAs and cashiers...use English words regularly at home, school, anywhere


I don't know many tips as I do it unconsciously  [grateful to Allah for the chance to study from scratch in Glasgow once upon a time years ago ] but I do practice this one thing:

When I am alone  [like really2 alone in my room ], I record what I read  [ mostly when I read novels ]...No, not because I want to check whether my vocal cords would enable me to enter AF but I wanna listen to my own accent and intonation. That is because I've lost the Scots and I would love to imitate/ acquire the RP...RP's so sexxeyh!

Whatever examples I've given you above,I practice them for other languages...well, mostly for hindi/urdu/ [sikit2 korea and Jepun and Spanish ]..ngeeee~

One thing you should not do!

Never not do anything to improve and never do it half-heartedly...go all out! forget the odds and just ignore the mocks!

All the best!

Life is also war,storm and flood

Bismillahirrohmanirrohim,

The north part of Malaysia is being tested with a heavy flood:

refer:  here

Happened to noticed some Muslim lad and lasses celebrating Halloween the other day.

Bribery here and there.

Ruthless killings here and there.

Dirty politics.

Now you do the maths.

Allah sends His 'signs' not to burden people out of their capabilities but to remind them [us] of how far we are from Him and what are we doing to ourselves.

Praise be to Him who did not send his 'signs' like the previous people where earth were sank to its root leaving only the believers.

Would we only realize if that day comes?

I am so ashamed of myself. Is this me being a vicegerent on earth?   [ let us all ask this question to ourselves]

Life on this earth is not forever. Gain everything [material] that you want, do anything that you want,but in the end when your turn is up to meet back the ground, you'll only bring with you your deeds. And what did you prepare for it?

May Allah ease their pains in the affected areas and also those in Indonesia whom are affected by the spewing volcano of 'Gunung Merapi', the Palestinians and everyone whom are battling with their life conditions. May Allah forgive us all, ameen

the chain of good deeds

Bismillahirrohmanirrohim,

help those in need and He will help you even more,inshaAllah  [ picta from google]

Have you ever come across any actions done by complete strangers that you cannot forget?

Well, I have [ and I bet you have too ]...among them are;

a man who fed some stray cats near the surau in my neighbourhood....he fed them with those cat food and fed them a lot....I was totally amazed by his action...the cats even recognized him because he called them with names  [to say that he has done that for quite some time ]

a young lady who attended a blind man crossing the street...even walked him to his destination

a big brother who treated his three little siblings for lunch, treated them with patience, and even helped them finish their homework  [ happened to sit next to their table on that particular day ]

a 'pakcik jual nasik lemak' who gave free fried chicken and said "xpelah,ambiklah,rezeki cik/incik harini"  [no,I wasn't the only one who got it....hoho]

a stewardess who attended to one passenger who brought two little kids with her and entertained the elder child while the mother was feeding her little sister , she was very gentle and caressing

a sweet friend of mine who never gets tired of all the questions given by this one little girl  [ in this case,she's no stranger to me but just focus on the action ]

a lecturer who could give consultation to some students who were not even her students and basically she didn't even teach that particular subject

A little child in the park who picked up every 'thrash' he found and threw it in the dustbin [ nobody told him to do so]

a young man who gave his seat in the LRT to a woman with her child  [ YES,it's our responsibility to do so but seeing him very weary but still stood and offered his seat was just so amazing! ]

A friend who could give his/her help whenever needed without complaining or wanting anything back in return


All of these and many more are just real life lessons....lessons that ought to be taken as good examples for us [me] to follow. You don't need books nor attend classes to learn precious lessons like this. You just need to observe, then follow and show it to others and they would also follow and that chain of good deeds and good examples would prolong inshaAllah

"For each [religious following] is a direction toward which it faces. So race to [all that is] good. Wherever you may be, Allah will bring you forth [for judgement] all together. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent".  [Al-Baqarah: 148 ]

till next time,

let's do good deeds, simple or extravagant kind of deeds doesn't matter, it is He who judges ^^

Aaargh! I'm so stressed out!!!

Assalamualaikum and a nice day to you all,

So, a lil bit dramatic on the title ain't it? There's something that I want to share with you all pertaining STRESS.

First and foremost, I'm pretty much sure that all of you know what is stress right? According to this link, stress is simply a fact of nature -- forces from the outside world affecting the individual. The individual responds to stress in ways that affect the individual as well as their environment. Some may take it positively while others may take it negatively.

What causes stress?
It could be divided into two; external factors and internal factors.

External factors may include the physical environment, including your job, your relationships with others, your home, and all the situations, challenges, difficulties, and expectations you're confronted with on a daily basis.

Internal factors are nutritional status, overall health and fitness levels, emotional well-being, and the amount of sleep and rest you get. To add up [just my opinion], the inner feelings that you think you could handle well,personally but lastly eat you up...in simple words: BROKEN-HEARTED  [ hohoho]

Well, the specific details of stress could be found in the link I've given earlier and I don't want to bore you to death reading the same thing in S2S...The thing that I want to share is somehow, well....TIPS on how to handle stress? 

Bear in mind, I'm no expert but the tips are taken from various real-life experiences, not from me only but from the people I've known throughout my living years.

So, what should you do when you are down with stress?

Guilty pleasure

Heard of it before? I think this would be the most personal favourite by many people. Just go and do whatever that will make you forget the reason why you are stress. Examples?

- read a book  [ maybe lame for some but it works for others]
-ice-cream and junk foods  [ don't be a devotee of it though ]
- be spontaneous and go somewhere foreign  [ money-loaded? feel free to try out]
- take the LRT and buy a ticket to the last station and go back to where you've started  [ don't forget to bring along a book to read or a camera to snap random photos ]
-feed stray cats or visit the animal shelters [this one I read in one of my friend's blog...seems therapeutic enough]
-do some exercises, go jogging with your MP3 on, go rock-climbing, abseiling, you know, bungee-jumping [dies at the thought of it ]....something thrilling and gives you the adrenalin vibes  [ oh no, a sudden flashback of riding the deadly roller-coaster in Thorpe Park ]

what else eh?

ahhh....

-visit the orphanage and less-fortunate people [that way you'll appreciate life better]
-go to the park [ try finding a cosy one...don't wanna end up tighted up even more ]
-watch movies  [ please avoid teary-sad-dying ending ones ]
-dance to the rhythm of your choice  [ oh no, i mean like be alone first, don't go applying for So You Think You Can Dance pulak! ]
-play games

moving on to the most therapeutic ones:

-read the Quran, the stories of our Sahabahs and Sahabiyyahs
-play on Quranic verses or soothing nasheeds
-do additional prayers [solat sunat ]
-Seek forgiveness from Allah as the burden feelings inside you may be a sign of how far you are from Him T_T
-be content at the same time feel grateful that you are still alive and able to do things

Those are just some 100 from 1001 ways of how to handle stress [the non-scientific explanation way ]. Different individuals may have different ways on how to handle stress. One thing, don't let it EAT YOU UP  until there's no way out anymore....

Oh yeah, don't forget to SMILE ^___________________^.... the power of a smile is really enchanting you know...plus its the prophet's sunnah summore,right?

So, don't stress2 [ PCK sikit ] people or else pustule will haunt you down  T_T  [ konon2 nk bg nama sedap la ni..huh ]


That's all from me for today,

mampu milik macam mana tu ye? sebab sekarang harga rumah mahal,rumah end lot kat setiawangsa ni pun 1 juta. Oh,saya xduduk rumah end lot ye FYI

3) Duti import kira-kira 300 barangan kegemaran pelancong dan rakyat tempatan di antara 3% hingga 5% dimansuhkan bagi menjadikan Malaysia syurga beli-belah

yg ni my kazen ada buat statement lawak xhengat.Katanya tahun depan kt akan nampak ramai umat manusia di malaysia yang memakai undergarments LV tapi pakai kat luar mcm spiderman. X ke lawak tu kalau betul jadi? nothing's impossible in Msia when it comes to fashion crime. Anyways, tempat mcm KLCC dan Pavillion kira bakal jadi tempat mampu dikunjungi oleh seluruh lapisan rakyat berbilang bangsa la kan? mesti crowded nanti :p

4) Pengecualian cukai jualan ke atas semua jenis telefon bimbit

habislah budak2 kecil pun mintak henfon pada ibu-bapa [skema x guna ibu-bapa?hoho]. saya setia dengan henfon hadiah langkah bendul saya ni tapi N8 Nokia mcm best! Ok wanie, istighfar byk2,yang hang p dok buat research psl phone tu pasaipa?dushhh

5)RM411 juta untuk melonjak ekonomi ke arah sebuah negara berpendapatan tinggi, aktiviti penyelidikan, pembangunan dan pengkomersilan sebagai landasan peningkatan aktiviti nilai ditambah dalam setiap bidang ekonomi

6) Penubuhan Unit Inovasi Khas (UNIK) di bawah Jabatan Perdana Menteri dengan peruntukan RM71 juta bagi tahun depan untuk mengkomersilkan hasil penemuan R&D oleh universiti dan institusi penyelidikan

No. 5 dan 6 bagus....aktiviti penyelidikan patut diberi spot-light di Malaysia sebab bila researchers kita menang awards dan paten dibeli oleh poreners, kan nama Malaysia jugak yg gah, itu yg Msia mahu kan,kan? Hope ada rezeki babuji lg untuk ke merata dunia,ameen

7) RM200 juta untuk perolehan hasil kreatif seperti filem, drama dan dokumentari keluaran tempatan yang berkualiti tinggi

tolonglah buat yang berkualiti sikit...jangan effects je nak lebih tapi xde isi dan isu. Something like Syurgamu Ramadhan would be nice.Ada lagi yg lain tp ai dah lupa...dan tlglah jgn nak dedah sgt, kata Malaysia kan,kalau nk over-exposedkan badan, p berlakon di amerika sana p! [ok,tibe2 teringat satu point dalam entri pertama ttg tgk movie yg seksi2 ni T_T]

8) Gaji pokok minima pengawal keselamatan dinaikkan kepada RM500 hingga RM700 sebulan mengikut kawasan mulai Januari 2011

salah seorang guard di kwsn rmh sy ni nama dia kumar. xde motif pun bgtau. @_@

9) Skim Rumah Pertamaku bantu golongan muda yang baru bekerja dengan berpendapatan kurang daripada RM3,000 sebulan untuk memiliki rumah sendiri

hoyyeah hoyyeah! tapi nak buat investment lain dulu lah.rumah lambat sikit inshaAllah

10) Kerajaan akan menaikkan kadar cukai perkhidmatan kepada 5% kepada 6%

No more fast-foods, fancy restaurants and Johny's T_T

11)RM2.1 billion diperuntuk untuk membina dan menaik taraf jalan luar bandar di Sabah dan Sarawak, selain RM696 juta bagi tujuan sama di Semenanjung Malaysia

ni kena double check dgn orang sana.Takut indah khabar dari rupa saja

12) Sistem pengangkutan MRT untuk Greater KL akan dilaksanan bermula 2011 bertujuan meningkatkan penggunaan pengangkutan awam sehingga 40%

Kasi LRT juga ladies coach ye....dan kalau boleh every station ada officer yg pantau kot2 ada ajnabee xreti bahasa ni....old man+ husband with preggy wife+dad with only children excluded  [haish xkn nk kejam sgt pulak kn]

13)Imbuhan guru KAFA dinaikkan kepada RM500 kepada RM800. Elaun bagi Imam pula dinaikkan daripada RM450 dan RM750

Saving the best for last,

14) Dana Pencen Swasta (PPF) tahun depan untuk memberi manfaat kepada pekerja sektor swasta dan mereka yang bekerja sendiri

Ok,ada banyak lagi sebenarnya. Kata mereka untuk manfaat rakyat tapi kita xtahulah sebab bila tgk yg pergi persidangan di PWTC semua pun kereta mewah hebat2 rumah xtaulah pulak macam mana dan tgk rakyat pulak kalau nk beli kereta mecediz pun mgkn kena simpan duit berpuluh tahun atau beli second-hand atau join MLM [ok, xlawak ]

Tadi terdengar kejap di tv satu ayat ni :

kita jangan obses dengan HAK sebaliknya kita kena mempersiap-siagakan diri kita untuk mempertahan HAK yang ada.

Ok,itu je....awal2 isu haritu macam banyak isi tapi macam malas lah. Sebab "dimana bumi dipijak disitu langit kujunjung" [ hyperbole sikit r lagi sekali ]

Cuma terkilan lah, duit banyak2 tapi orang miskin makin bertambah. Duit banyak2 sponsor lah orang yang kurang berkemampuan pergi buat haji [ ni dok p sponsor org kaya,xpaham betul ], Duit banyak2 kirim kan pada saudara di merata dunia [ perang dan bencana alam ]. Persediaan inner-soul?

Apa2pun, kena dengar cakap kalau x nanti kena buang daerah. T_T

YE,YE...saya tahu...sendiri pun xmempersiap-siagakan diri dengan pemahaman yang betul sibuk nak komen. Kan dah kata tadi, from the perspective of just an ordinary citizen.  [ ayat celf-centered sikit..hoho ]

sebagai penutup, saya lekatkan ini [dari status seorang rakan ]:

“Tiada seorang pun pemimpin yang mengendalikan urusan orang-orang Islam, lalu dia tidak
bersungguh-sungguh menguruskan mereka dan tidak memberikan nasihat (agama) kepada mereka, melainkan dia tidak akan dapat masuk syurga bersama-sama mereka”. (H.R. Muslim)

Sekian,
