Cannot Believe Kops Are King of Europe

Six goals on a same post, symetrically divided by two halfs. Its Liverpool 3 AC Milan 3. Penalty goes to Liverpool. It is a nasty and heart break final for AC Milan. The best final ever in history. You Never Walk Alone!.



Some of the action

Overcome hiccup

I always have this silly hiccup problem. Don't know why... Probably my throat is not functioning as normal anymore. Here is several how to that I experienced and practised.
1. Drink a lot of water. Drink in relatively large amount and do it continously. Percentage of this solution works: 20%. For normal case it is 99%
2. Vomiting. It is hard and make you head feel the pain. Its like headache. But the percentage of this solution to succeed is 90%.
3. Hold breath. Sometimes it works too. Just pull your breath deep. Hold for one minute or more. Don't release the air until you really certain the hiccup is over. 30%

My friend told me this but it is either didn't work for me or I never test it:
4. Jump high until your knees can touch your chest.
5. Put some water in a handkerchief and put at your forehead (dahi?)

Anything else?
Check this some fact from this briilliant website:

Maybe this will explain wht, at the first place, you get hiccup:
Air is sucked in, then the windpipe abruptly closes (Hic!). Hiccups have no beneficial purpose, though they do argue for taking smaller bites and chewing your food slowly.

This is only temporary cures. Normally it took about 2-3 days before my hiccup really really gone. I wonder why. Probably the nikmat is taken away for a while, so that I will repent to some nasty thing that I've done. I'm not that decent, of course.

Newsweek dan Kredibiliti Wartawan

Kalau Newsweek pun tunduk kepada tekanan, memang peluang kita mendapat liputan yang adil tiada lagi. Memang dunia ni akan terus porak peranda bila manusia mendapat kuasa yang tidak dipandu oleh wahyu. Kesian dia kerana Allah tutup hatinya. Kesian kita kerana terpaksa mendengar Quran dihina di Guantanamo, dipijak dan dibuang ke toilet tetapi tak mampu untuk mempertahankan maruahnya. Hebat kita diuji, tetapi umat Islam dewasa ini masih seronok dan bersenang-lenang. Sekadar menulis atau membaca di weblog tak cukup. Tetapi sekurang-kurangnya kita prihatin. Apa agaknya sumbangan kita di dalam hal ini?

Blazing Malcom

Dengan memperoleh 75% saham MU, Malcom boleh menarik MU dari menjadi PLC. Hebat! Hai MU supporters yang di sebelah sini, buat apa nak marah-marah. Untuk kebaikan kelab juga. Lainlah yang kat Manchester sana. Malcom tu American, depa English. Mana boleh, tu dah kira jatuh maruah. English-American memang dah lama tak sebulu dalam banyak hal terutama bab-bab bahasa. Path-Road, Fridge-Refrigerator, dan sebagainya. Technical term pun. OC or STM? Kitalah jadi mangsa, kalau tulis satu ayat yang bercampur English dan American, orang kata ayat kita "Grammar correct but meaning clumsy". Entahlah. Yang pasti mereka bersatu dalam bab nak menyerang Iraq. Double B. Bush-Blair. Hail the Dajal apperentice.

My motivation to write this is because encikicap has wrote something about Hari Guru. So here is my still-remember-list:

Ustazah Khamsiah - Live nearby my parent house. This young and beautiful chinese-look mom teach me about fiqh. I will always remember her because she lead us to performed nasyid in intifal day. That is among the last scene I met Aruah Lan, my best friend. He died in bus accident.

Ustaz Nik - We think that the bell ring has always spolit our class. Love this ustaz and his experiences.

Another Pn. Hamidah? You are totally mess-up my friend.
OK OK I think her name is Pn. Hamidah. But for sure, she teach me history. A very unique approach, she allow us to explore every possibility of learning process. She ask us to take the school trip to several exhibition and make free format reporting. She ask us to do some acting on ancient historical event. She really know history and love creativity. Feels like a student university. All in history class? Got to be kiddin'!
Mr. Lee - My math teacher. This old timer is so different. He love student to correct him. In his class, all classmates done their work quitely and see him personally if they have problem. So peaceful.
Pn. Adliyah - My class teacher. Nothing special, but also wearing tudung labuh. Good motherly approach for wild and nasty boys.

Pn. Rosdila - Hot and pupil's favourite. She has transformed Geography from boring to a really interesting subject.

Pn. Sarimah - Actress face and personality in teacher care and wisdom. Pretty and smart, that make her to head the School Chess Club. My motivation to be win School Chess Contest, defeating Upper Six student and upsetting school players. I love Kemahiran Hidup!

Ustazah Misnah - I learn a lot about this deen. Thank you. Her concern is not only on solat, hafazan and tilawah, but also the meaning of life and better attitude.

Pn. Halijah - My honeymoon year is ended by her though approach. Very straight forward and love to personally advise young and lost man like me. The only teacher that guide me for double victories? (I mean both Form 4 and Form 5).

Mrs. Jacob - I may forget many things but this Add Math teacher was really though that I can remember until now the "Practise Make Perfect" phrase.

Mrs Koh - Chemistry teacher teaching in Chinese-packed class. What can you expect? She will definately bias. But hell no. In one heart-to-heart preaching and scolding session, she disclose about how she personally groom a student from never-pass-chemistry to A2 in previous SPM. And that student is a Malay.

Mrs. Sukeshini - Non-Malay speakers. She really make me slightly better than average in English. You know about what old said about "Every dog has it own day"? Well I got that when she ask the other word of "dreaming" and nobody can answer better than my "fancy" answer.

Last but not least - My beloved Cik Azizah, a going-to-be-bride BM teacher with a soft-spoken voice. Many didn't expect her to be well at gangster-packed boy school initially, she is not that pretty, not that garang and not popular. But she did it her own way. Everybody love her charming approach, when she teach everybody listen, when she at her desk, people are crowding like hell. Al-Fathihah to her, who passed away after we got our SPM result and before she get married. God bless you, and all teacher that teach me at least something about life. Those long preaching and murmuring is painful, but its worth.

Fast=Junk Food?

Sekarang ni memang satu trend makan kat fast food. Makan kat fast food ni lagi kelas dari makan kat cafe, apatah lagi kedai mamak. Kononnya sedap dan berkhasiat. Friends check your facts. Agak-agak nak cepat aje, beli fast food. Tak taulah apa yang fast, pasal kekadang beratur panjang juga. According to those McLibel sympatiers, fast food tu istilah ganti (yang lebih sedap didengar) kepada junk. So at the end of it, fast food is actually junk food. Kalau translate Melayu lagi teruk. Makanan segera jadi makanan rapu. Ada kelas ke?

Motivasi dalam Training: Jangan tengok muka instructor

Mengantuk dan training memang tidak dapat dipisahkan. Kalau ada seorang yang bercakap di depan kita secara langsung, mungkin kita tidak terasa. Tetapi sekiranya beliau bercakap di dalam kelompok yang besar, maka tidak banyak sedikit pasti kita akan terasa mengantuk. Apatah lagi kalau instructor jenis yang suara romantik dan tak suka eye contact. Ada satu joke dari kawan saya, katanya jangan nak dengar suara, tengok muka pun dah terasa mengantuk. Biasa terjadi kepada anda? OK anda normal.



Training Real Time System. A very good instructor, at least technically.

Ku ingin merasai kepayahanmu sebagai isteri

Suriaku,
Hari ini hampir seminggu engkau tidak kutemui. Ungkapan-ungkapan mesramu yang sentiasa kudengar, hanya mampu kubayangkan sahaja. Terasa sepi diri ini dari gelak dan tangis Bathol. Di semua sudut teratak ini, pastinya tersimpan memori indah dan kadangkala pahit dan payau mengenai kita. Engkau masih belum boleh pulang kerana takdir ini. Sepeninggalanmu, aku sentiasa cuba menyibukkan diri. Kerja di kantor dan makmal membuatkan aku tidak sedar begitu cepat masa berlalu. Sebelah petang aku sibuk di gelanggang. Bolasepak, badminton, olahraga mahupun ping pong memenuhi waktuku. Sebelah malam aku meeting kelab motivasi, berpesatuan sana sini dengan aktif dan berjumpa kawan di sana sini. Malam ketika sampai di rumah, selepas membaca Quran terus aku terlelap tanpa sebarang masalah. Tetapi gelak ketawa rakan-rakan tidak sehebat suaramu yang mampu membuat aku gembira dan tersenyum sendiri. Ketika tiba hujung minggu pasti aku terasa kesunyian dan keseorangan. Aneh, kerana aku jenis manusia yang tuhan jadikan sebagai cepat bosan dengan sesiapa, sesuatu mahupun seseekor. Namun aku tidak dapat menipu yang aku .... (malunya nak tulis) merinduimu.



Gelak ketawa kawan tidak dapat mengubat kesepian.

Islam Menyeru Keamanan?

Persoalan ini saya tanyakan diri sendiri ketika di satu ketika, perbualan saya secara siber dengan seorang sahabat sekerja berakhir. Bagaimana bermula? Kami berbincang mengenai kemungkinan perang Malaysia-Indonesia berikutan krisis perebutan pulau yang mengandungi hasil minyak di sempadan kedua-dua negara. Saya mengatakan kita tidak perlu berperang kerana kita serumpun dan seagama. Sahabat setuju tetapi beliau rasa bukan setakat Indonesia, bahkan kepada semua negara. Saya tegaskan kepada musuh-musuh Islam seperti Israel, mereka tetap perlu diperangi. Lalu sahabat saya mempertikaikan adakah Islam mengajar umatnya memerangi orang lain. Bukankah Islam menyeru kepada keamanan? Saya speechless kerana tak tahu bagaimana hendak menjawab pertanyaan itu secara pendek. Lalu perbincangan kami berakhir di situ atas permintaan saya. Sememangnya ia memerlukan penghuraian yang panjang dan lama. Sekiranya mahu jawapan ringkas, mungkin begini. Memang Islam itu menyeru keamanan, tetapi apakah keamanan semata-mata yang diseru oleh Islam? Apakah benar maksud Islam itu keamanan atau perdamaian semata-mata? Jika benar, mengapa Rasulullah yang menjadi ikutan kita juga berperang? Masihkah kita mahu menyeru keamanan kepada orang yang memerangi kita?


Di dalam ayat Quran dijelaskan tentang bagaimana kita menghadapi musuh iaitu di dalam Surah Anfaal ayat 61.
"Dan jika mereka condong kepada perdamaian, maka condonglah kepadanya dan bertawakallah kepada Allah. Sesungguhnya Dialah Yang Maha Mendengar lagi Maha Mengetahui."

Maknanya di sini jika di situ wujud keinginan musuh untuk berdamai, maka jangan kita bersikap melampau. Condonglah kepada perdamaian itu. Yang jelas di sini adalah perdamaian itu datang kepada mereka yang tidak memerangi kita. Yang tetap memusuhi, yang membunuh, yang terang-terang menzalimi, wajib diperangi. Sekiranya rasulullah tidak mempertahankan, mengangkat senjata dan memerangi orang kafir Quraisy dan orang Yahudi yang bersekongkol mengepung Madinah, maka musnahlah generasi emas Muslim yang pertama. Tidak akan sampailah syiar Islam dimuka bumi ini. Bukan melihat perang sesuatu yang baik sepenuhnya, tetapi ia perlu sekiranya tanah orang Islam dicerobohi dan umat dizalimi. Jangan menunggu Kaabah di Masjidil Haram dipijak-pijak, baru kita berhenti melaungkan "We want Peace". Maaf sekiranya agak emosi hal ini. Mungkin ada yang kurang tepat disampaikan di sini. Sila rujuk guru masing-masing.

Perbincangan tentang Islam boleh jadi mudah kalau hendak dimudahkan, tetapi akan mencelarukan sekiranya tidak berguru. Oleh itu saya cadangkan, membaca weblog seperti ini sekadar pembacaan peringkat kedua setelah mula membaca tentang Islam secara berguru. Rujuklah para ustaz dan ustazah agar tidak terseleweng. Maklumlah kadangkala kita ikhlas tetapi mungkin penulisan kita kurang tepat lantaran ilmu yang tidak seberapa.

Di dalam sebuah buku yang agak mashyur iaitu Keperibadian Muslim, yang merujuk kepada penulisan Fathi Yakan (Apa Ertinya Saya memeluk agama Islam), Abul A'la Maududi (Asas-asas Islam) dan Syed Qutb (Inilah Agama Islam), diterangkan makna Islam secara dan kalimah. Agak panjang untuk dihuraikan di sini, tetapi mungkin boleh berkongsi bagi yang belum pernah baca. Makna Islam secara lafaz adalah menundukkan wajah atau diri. Sila rujuk An-Nisa Surah 4 ayat 125. Makna lain bagi Islam adalah istislam bermakna berserah diri (3.83). Islam juga salamah bermakna suci bersih (26.89). Juga Islam itu salam bermakna selamat atau kesejahteraan (6.54). Akhir sekali Islam itu dari lafaz juga assilmu bermaksud perdamaian (47.35). Mungkin inilah yang dimaksudkan oleh sahabat saya tadi, iaitu Islam menyeru keamanan kerana Islam bermaksud keamanan. Terdapat juga kalimah-kalimah yang menerangkan makna Islam itu sendiri. Kalau ada peluang dan teringat, saya coretkan.
