Salam Jumaat di Bulan Saaban

Assalamualaikum

...it has been a very busy one week for me.....not able to ngintu tanya kabo friends...

..last weekend went to PD but all hotels/apartments and whatnot were fully booked and eventually settled dekat one service apartment area di Tiara...no beach depan mata and even the open sea visible...tu pun dapat dah dekat 9 pm....so sebab tak puas hati...hehehehe...I am thinking about going back there tomorrow....hopefully it will be a better weekend by the sea kali neh...

....tonite is the Imam Muda finale, though I hardly had the chance to follow this show, i am quite glad to hear that it has created a new phenomenon in Reality TV Show...

Ramadan is nearer by the day and I could feel the excitement building....I hope that I will have a fantastic Ramadan and I wish all halolanders will have a fantastic fasting month too...

..I am still nervous waiting for my 2nd chance in life ..the chance that i hope will able me to correct the wrong, improve weaknesses wherever not and enjoy life the way I know best....pray for me kengkawan for 2nd chance to come true and on this great Friday, I pray to Allah swt for His bless..Allahu Akbar....

..sebab kerja , aku terlalu penat dan hari rabu aku boleh turu dari pukul 9.15pm sampai 6.00am....9 jam tuh!!....tapi turu sebab keletihan dan bukan pasal rest pun....

...insyaallah....the coming days and weeks will be more cheerful for everyone of us.....

Salam Jumaat dan maaf zahir batin dan have great weekend ahead....sapa yang puasa lewat and raya awal tahun lepas harap harap dan habis ganti puasa yer...

Salam Jumaat - 23/07/10

Assalamualaikum

Salam Jumaat saya ucapkan kepada semua dan maaf zahir dan batin……maaf juga pada Embun sebab pernah mempersoalkan statement beliau dua tahun lepas tentang IT department company dia blocked Haloscan services...sekarang ini aku merasa bahangnya kerana since aku tukar blog design aku sendir tak boleh masuk comment page sebab kena blocked….aku minta maaf tau Embun….

Mata aku semakin lama semakin kabur bila membaca dan memerlukan spec membaca kalau tidak aku tak boleh membaca….memandangkan faktor umur bukan sebabnya ……kehkehkeh..aku rasa constant watching the computer screen/terminal could be the contributing factor….but this is part of life that we have to learn to accept……

Everyone wants a 2nd chance…we always feel that we will do better given the 2nd chance…..a player being sent-off during a gmae that resulted in the team losing will always feel that he wants another chance to redeem himself to the team…..students failing the crucial exam will always demand a 2nd chance to pass the paper or politician losing a crucial party or election contest will always say that given a 2nd chance, they will know what to do…..spouse will always tell their significant others that he/she deserve a 2nd chance when the marriage is on the rock ..

Given the ‘2nd Change’ opportunity, how many of us would actually Change for The Better?

How many would actually take that chance to lead a better life or to correct the wrongs they did in the previous life?

This Friday morning, I really pray to Allah for a 2nd chance to lead a better life ? I have a fantastic life thus far but they were things/decisions that I made earlier in life that shape my current way of life. I redha dengan apa yang dilalui selama ini tetapi I juga mahu merubah untuk akan datang….

I pray to Allah that I will be given the opportunity to start a fresh new life away from this comfort zone, away from the normalcy of life or away from things that I least desire in life….

Will I change for the better if my prayer is answered ? This is something that I could only share if I have the opportunity for that 2nd Chance…waullahuaqlam

I am a bit surprise lar....

Salam

I was a bit surprise with the intention to stop JPA/MARA scholarship and to scrap UPSR and PMR from our education system.

I am really not in favor of stopping scholarship awards for overseas study because it will hit the malay student hard.Moreover I would also like to view that scholarship to malay student is part of the ‘keistimewaan’ for the Malays in return for the citizenship for the Indians and Chinese during the bargaining for merdeka….

..this is the problem with our policy when it is chopped and changed at the mercy of the policy makesr….the only reason why they probably have no mercy in stopping the scholarship is the fact that all their children have benefitted from these scholarships in the past and they have no further needs for scholarship at this point of time….maybe when their cucu or cicit reaching the scholarship application age, then maybe they will start thinking about giving scholarships again….

..I am also not in favour of scrapping UPSR though I agree PMR is not that critical…UPSR is the 1st screening point for our students and to audit the effectiveness of our school syllabus in developing the next generation…..it is also a good audit check on the standard of teaching at the primary level….so I believe the UPSR examination is crucial for student development….

..PMR though is not really helping the student and it would be better that the secondary education to be reviewed by collapsing the form 2 and form 3 syllabus into one thus giving more time for the current form 4 and 5 subjects….i find that student struggling entering SPM examination because they do not have time to understand the new subject i.e. bio. Physic, add maths , econs and so forth…by giving 3 years for the SPM related examination papers will help them and the teachers to be better prepared to enter the exam…

..I don’t buy the talk about the government have no money and therefore cutting the education ministry budget is unavoidable…to me stopping the scholarship for the Malays is the worst kind of betrayal to malay student and I don’t expect umno will do that….but I certainly believe they are other issues for this sudden policy change ….

..scholarship for the Malays, government jobs for the Malays , political powers for the Malays, Islam for the Malays and Raja Raja for the Malays have always been there since merdeka and some even before merdeka….

I learnt to accept that the Chinese are better in business and come to accept that the big bunglows or big expensive cars are theirs and I come to accept that the Indian will always be better in the desk bound professional work such as accountant, general practitioner and lawyers…I accept the fact the Chinese will be better in basketball, ping pong and/or badminton and the Indian will be better in Track and Field and hockey….

The problem is when we learn to accept the ‘special’ gift for them but they could not accept what's for us….unless this is not resolve, I will say that 1 malaysia concept as just another showcase…

Assalamualaikum

...Ramadan is getting nearer and the excitement is getting stronger by the day....countless kenduri Ramadan invitations telling me to get physically and emotionally ready for the coming of the special month of Ramadan....

..similarly , I don't really approve with some Raya special promotion being allowed to be displayed now when Ramadan is 3 weeks away when we should be focussing on making the best out of the many forms of special spiritual ritual and routine...

.....yang penting ialah untuk memulakan sedikit persediaan awal supaya amalan dan perbuatan kita di dalam bulan Ramadan akan mendapat keredhaan Allah swt....

..wokeh ..nak cerita sikit....I was in PD last weekend and pleasantly surprised with some exciting development I saw during my overnight stay there....what impressed me most was the nite beach picnic by many even after midnite.....the beach heavily lit by spotlights and i swear that I saw a group of people taking a dip well into the nite .....it was really fun to walk along the beach without the heat of the sun stroking your body....

..it was not much of a holiday except that I have to do some personally chores and PD seemed to be the perfect spot to stay for the night...I like the atmosphere so much that I am now thinking about going back this weekend for a more relaxing stay.....

However , last sunday was really a wet one in PD but it was a great sight watching the rain forming from the middle of the ocean coming right to you and it was indeed an awesome sight to watch the weather changes but the minute...in fact my trip back to KL was also accompanied by the heavy downpour.....hopefully, the weather will be friendlier this coming weekend, insyaallah...

..what excite me most is the fact that if you can find the right hotel with the view of the open sea and the beach exactly fronting your hotel room , you don't really have to travel far to get the feel of being in a secluded island .... tapi yang hairan yer, despite all the stories about crocodile attack or sighting, huge crowd could be seen all over PD and finding a room was in fact a daunting task....still i was not really sure about putting my leg in the water fearing the creature sudden apperance ala Jaws.....but it didnt stop others going for the banana ride and so forth....as for me, watching the ocean was be the best theraphy to relax the mind....

Salam Jumaat

Assalamualaikum,

..Salam Jumaat dengan memohonkan kemaafan kepada saja jua yang pernah aku terkecik kan hati, terguris perasaan , tercela atau terkutuk dengan sengaja atau tak sengaja.....

.....liku liku kehidupan adalah cabaran dan dugaan tapi tidak semestinya bala.....menonton dokumentari aftermath gempabumi di Haiti boleh memberi kita kesedaran apa maknanya dugaan hidup itu....melihat gambar mangsa bom di Uganda semasa mereka menonton perlawanan akhir bolasepak Piala Dunia menyedarkan betapa besarnya erti masih hidup tersebut....

..asam garam kehidupan itu akan lebih seronok apabila kita melihat kesudahan dari segala dugaan kehidupan yang kita lalui.....tiada siapa mahukan kematian walaupun kematian itu nyata hadirnya....takut akan akan kemungkinan akhirat menyebabkan kita mahu terus hidup , sayangkan harta dan zuriat menyebabkan kita mahu terus hidup......hidup itu adalah satu kemestian untuk semua.....

..marilah kita mencari kehidupan yang akan membawa kebahagian dalam kematian....banyak perkara tentang kehidupan aku hari ini yang tidak mengundang perkataan 'happy' dalam lafaz ucapan dibibir aku, namun satu satu perkara yang membuat segala unhappiness itu tidak significant ialah kegembiraan bahawa aku adalah seorang Muslim.....the fact that aku seorang muslim memudahkan aku memikirkan kedatangan kematian itu eventually....

....nikmat mengetahui bahawa segala yang kita lakukan adalah dengan izin Allah swt adalah sesuatu yang mudah kita terima kerana adanya IMAN dalam diri kita....nikmat mengetahui bahawa di dalam dunia hari ini dimana banyak kepercayaan yang menyatakan mereka di jalan yang benar tetapi kita senang dan tenang mengetahui bahawa agama Islam kita sahaja yang berada di dalam jalan yang yang terpilih...inilah nikmat hati dan jiwa kita sebagai Islam..

...tafakur dan appreciate yang roh kita sekarang ini adalah roh Islam maka selagi kita sedar dan bersyukur bahawa kita seorang Islam , maka kita dalah the chosen ones......insyaallah..

...appreciate dan redha apabila kita dilihat bodoh kerana tercari cari makanan halal di dalam tempat yang dipenuhi makanan yang was was dan tidak halal....redha apabila dilihat seakan bodohkerana lapar berpuasa sunat mahupun wajib sedang orang lain makan sekenyang kenyang nya....rasakan nikmat bila dipandang serong kerna tercari cari tempat solat sedang orang sibuk mencari liburan dunia....itulah nikmat menjadi seorang Muslim tersebut.....walaupun mungkin kita tidak warak atau alim, namun kalau kita merasa nikmat kesusahan mencari keredhaan Allah swt tersebut..bermakna hati kita bersih dari syirik, murtad, bidaah, khurafat dan was was....itulah nikmat..nikmat merasakan Kaabah didepan mata walaupun tak sampai Mekah, nikmat berangan berada di Raudah walaupun tidak sampai lagi di Madinah, nikmat mimpikan melalui titian siratulmustaqim dengan pantas walaupun tiada faham lagi akan Padang Masyar...

.....I am a Muslim 1st and Malay 2nd.....I may one day leave this life with nothing but as long I die as a Muslim, I know that I have something....

Selawat dan salam ke atas Rasullah saw dan keluarga dan sahabat dan di hari ini jangan kita lupakan mendoakan kesejahteraan kedua ibu bapa kita .....

World Cup dah abis........

Salam...

...ntah cam mana, pagi final tuh aku terjaga pukul 3.00am , so dapatlah aku tengah final neh dari minit ke 31 of the 1st half...

....the game was rather tense and very tight and bordering boring.....but crdit to both, they were trying to find the goal to spark the game but ended up cancelling each other game...

....Spain were worthy winner but I have some sympathy for the Dutch for some bad referring although inlah nama yer qada dan qadar.....tapi kau nak analisa for the sake of anylyzing the game.....Iniesta should be on the field because of his off the ball incident on Bommel which actually a carbon copy of Zidane headbutt against Italy in 2006....second before the spain goal, Holland should be awarded a corner kick after Snieder freekick hit the spaniard wall but the referee missed the incident and awarded the free-kick....

..i would also have to say that the Dutch coach made some strange decision when substituting Van Brancost with an untested player when putting Khaled Balaruj(spell) would have been more logical or Ojier .....with two new players on the flank, Elija and the celtic leftback made them very vulnerable on the left side....

..but the Dutch squad gesture of making a tunnel of respect for the spanish players must be lauded as one of the most sporting gesure in sports...

..so tahniah to Mamabat, jazz and embun and hardluck but well done to vaart and seri...ehh sowey, papaa pun sokong spain kan kan kan...

wokeh, prediction aku untk world cup neh semua yer masuk longkang....Diego Forlan has been named as the Golden Ball winner or the best player of the tournament, Thomas Mueller menang the Golden Boot as the highest scorer of 5 but he won because he also assisted 3 other germany's goals.....Mueller was also named the best young player although i thought Ozil was more deserving....Casillas won the golden glove award as the goalkeeper of the tournament....

ini aku punyer own choice of best 11

Casillas ( tapi aku suker goalkeeper Nigeria -Kuene)

Lamp
Puyol
John Mensah
Giovanni van Broncost

Lionel Messi
Ozil
Iniesta
Diego Forlan

Asamoah Gyan
David Milla

wokeh.....waka waka...vuvuzela...mandela

Salam Thursday

Salam,

....airmuka ....walaupun muka kita tiada air ...well melainkan berpeluh atau menangis...tetapi airmuka adalah sesuatu yang tinggi makna yer.....kerana airmuka kita sanggup membunuh, kerna airmuka kita sanggup menipu dan kerana airmuka kita sanggup bergolok bergadai....

...yang anehnya , airmuka bukan diwajah tetapi lebih di hati...tetapi mengapa bukan airhati tetapi airmuka.....mungkin sekadar semantic tetapi ianya amat penting bagi orang malay.....airmuka adalah maruah ...airmuka adalah integrity ...airmuka adalah darjah atau darjat diri....

...airmuka tiada mengira muka jelita, tampan mahupun kurang cun....airmuka lebih dari apa yang kita lihat.....

maka untuk menentukan airmuka kita sentiasa berada dalam keadaan yang kita desire, maka selalulah berada dalam keadaan berwudhuk.....waullahhuaqlam.....

wokeh ...lets talk about WC....

....ada kawan aku cakap bahawa kekalahan banyak team team ternama notably England, France, Italy and Brazil dikaitkan dengan judi bola !! wow....cantik betul observation mamat neh....dan ada logik yer....

..diberitakan dulu bahawa Ronaldo of Brazil telah diturunkan padang dalm perlawanan akhir WC 1998 walaupun beliau telah terkena sawan one day leading to the final atas sebab sebab yang sampai sekarang tidak ceritakan pada umum.....Ronaldo diberitakan telah seakan tidak bernyawa semasa diserang 'sawan' dan rumours masa itu dah conform dia tidak akan turun ke padang tetapi akhirnya muncul tetapi a shadow of himself...Brazil players seakan akan tidak committed dan akhirnya depa kalah 0-3 pada France....

..2002, dikatakan kejayaan South korea mara ke separuh akhir dikaitkan dengan berat sebelah pengadilan sehingga timbul kemungkinan of match fixing ??!!...

1994 WC di USA, pemain Columbia , Escobar, telah dibunuh bila pulang ke tanahair dan pembunuhan beliau dikaitkan dengan gol sendiri yang menyebabkan Columbia kalah ditangan USA by a solitary goal....

diceritakan kepada aku bahawa kekalahan Brazil di tangan Belanda telah menyebabkan bookies untung besar giler babun.....

..aku suka logik member aku nei tapi sukar nak show proof of evidence.....ermmm..kalau citer nei benar, kaya giler si goalkeeper England ....kehkehkeh....

apa apa pong, tahniah pada vaart daan Seri yang menyokong Holland dengan kejayaan Holland mara ke final....great achievement indeed....and a deserving one too...

..aku tak larat nak bangun untuk tengok and by the time aku sedar pukul 4.15 am lebih kurang, game pun dah abis tapi dapat lar tengok highlight....

..malam nei Germany lawan Spain, aku plan to watch tapi i doubt so aku dapat bangun kalau mengikut trend mata aku sekarang ini....

...goodluck to Fudhla dan mamabat and jazz....kalau aku stay neutral, aku would like to see germany through tapi this is a close call dan mungkin game decided by penalty.....

baiklah...

airmuka....unik dan pelik tapi menarik dan benar.....

Assalamualaikum....

Salam kesedihan

Salam

laporan pertama

wa balik obersee direct kena gei melaka sebab ada sedara bertunang...lepak seremban for the nite sebab penat banget....balik rumah sat tadik tetengok rumah dan kema pecah masuk.....laptop wa kena hambat , handphone dedulu, duit sikit and digital camera....sedih wa beb....polis pun datang and kena lah buat report semua yer....grill tingkap depa potong pakai cutter besar giler mak datuk( depa tinggalkan cutter).....habis rumah terbalik macam kapal karam dibuat yer....

..tapi wa macam redha aja rasa yer....marah tidak , geram pun tidak..just redha or probably i was very tired to think otherwise....

Laporan World Cup

Brazil 1 - 2 Holland

....wa tak surprise giler dengan kekalahan Brazil sebab dari awal wa dah kata wa rasa brazil agak boring.....still, menggalahkan Brazil adalah sesuatu yang agak memeranjatkan...tahniah pada seri and vaart dengan kejayaan holland....

Ghana 1 - 1 Uruguay ( Uruaguay through via penalty shootout )

..ini game wa tengok jugak walaupun mata dah tak leh bukak dah...what a thrilling game...aku rasa ramai african kena sakit jantung tengok game neh....dramatic ending to the game..one of the best...remind me of Turkey victory over Crotia at Euro 2008...

..with extra time ending and penalty shootout looming..tetiba Ghana dapat free kick ( aku tengok masa dah 130 minutes and 34 second ), aku expect referee akan bunyikan whistle by the time the freekick taken.....tapi, freekick taken and Ghana had the ball saved on the goalline and rebounded back tapi another Ghanain player jumped high to head the ball towards goal when suddenly i saw the effort against saved on the goalline tapi immediately Ghana palayer stopped playing and running to the referee..the referee in return immedaitely flashing the red card to a uruguayan player but i was still wasn't sure what had happened until the replay showed that Suarez handled the ball with his hand for a definite penalty and red card...

..aku pun bersyukur alhamdullilah and thought that the penalty will be a mere formality bila Asomaoh Gyan hit the ball against the crossbar on over.....

masyaallah....aku terfikir macam mana orang Ghana kat kampong tengok tv reacted to the drama...kehkehkeh....mau banyak yang kena stroke tak pasal pasal.....

more drama during the penalty shootout tapi eventually Uruaguay triumph in the most dramatic fashion....

Germany 4 - 0 Argentina

ek eleh....kereks giler lar si pungkog lebar ekk.....kehkehkeh..seriouslu, aku sekarang terpaksa minat dengan Germany sebab cara depa mainmemang best giler...memang ubukan macam germany zaman zaman dulu sebab Germany yang kali ini main with so much flair and disicpline that they remind me of the brazillian team of Socrates and Zico....

Tahniah untuk Fudla dan aku rasa depa will be terlalu strong untuk Spain....

Spain 1 - 0 Paraguay

aku tak sempat tengok game neh tapi highlights menunujukkan game in very even and two penalty saves , one on each side...

..aku tak berapa impress dengan spain team neh sebab aku rasa depa a bit mechanical....tapi well doen to them for going this far...

now for the semi-final

Holland vs Uruguay

..Arjen Robben is the difference.....so i will go for Holland....it be eaither a close match if the uruguayan could score first but a very high scoring goal if Holland could score early....still i think the Dutch to go through...

Germany vs Spain

...after scoring 4 against South Korea,England and Argentina..I expect this young Germans to win against Spain...

I suspect that Spain will be playing a very defensive game to take into consideration the Germans lightning counter attack....

Spain need to have Fabregas in the team in order to neutralised the germany strong midfield play in Khadira, Podolsi , Scawaneger ( spell ?) , Ozil and Mueller....

...but what has not been mentioned is the fact that the germans formidable back four .....i can't see Germany defense ever allowing the spaniard too much room for the spaniard trio in Xavi, Inesta and Alonso to thread passes easily and at will...

but then again, all my predictions have been off tangent and probaly we will see an Uruguay vs Spain final...

wokeh....
