Sorry for the lack of updates here. Woosh(ISP) has been unbelievably slow, so slow that to transfer a file of 70k took more than 2 minutes.
It is a rare occasion that I am able to even open any website now. Therefore, this will be a short entry.
Good luck to NZ Malaysian students who are sitting for their exams this week and next. All the best!!
and to football fans, I did not watch Spurs-Arsenal game. But I can imagine what a thrilling game it was. Congrats to Spurs! Awesome.
The reports say Arsenal played amazing football. Still, I think the result was fair to both sides. Especially after seeing this comment made by Cesc Fabregas
Spurs remain bottom of the Premier League but the comeback proved Cesc Fabregas wrong after he said Arsenal's ladies team would give Redknapp's men a run for their money.[source: Soccernet]
It's a reminder to myself too. Do not belittle anyone, no matter how good you are.

Stamford Bridge falling Down.
assalamualaikum
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
phewwwwww....
what a relief.n what a joyful moment to see Liverpool winning at Stamford Bridge, a fortress to the Chelsea FC team. Prior to the match, they held a record of being unbeaten for 86 matches. 86 matches..
As Jamie Carragher had said, the record was there to be beaten. We are delighted to see it was Liverpool who made that record a history. It's perhaps the same feeling those Man Utd fans felt when they broke Arsenal 49-match unbeaten run.
I would like to single out this praise to Xabi Alonso. He was nearly sold to Juventus. He rejected the transfer, and has been working extremely hard since then. He scored some goals in the pre-season games, and he now is playing some good football.
I prefer to be realisitc over Liverpool's chances to win the EPL. It is only October now. At least there are 7 more months to go before they have the final laugh. Liverpool is also known to be playing well going to Christmas time in pre-Houllier era, before they faltered in January and February.
Still a long way to go bro.........
Of course I am happy with the current development. We have suffered too long. Too long that Man Utd has now won 17 EPL titles, 1 short of Liverpool's. We need to distance ourselves from our foes, and maintain our record as the MOST SUCCESSFUL English club in the history. 18 EPL and 5 Champs League. Man Utd is the closest rival to beating our records.
Interestingly, it was news to me when Harry Redknapp took over the rein at Spurs. It's not a bad decision though. It is more to a question of 'why now', after he has built a squad capable of fighting for UEFA Cup spot in Portsmouth. He brought in few top class players there including Crouch and Defoe, and he blocked the sale of Muntari to my beloved Inter Milan.
Having mentioned Portsmouth, I remember talking to probably the prettiest English girl I have ever seen 2 months ago. She's from Portsmouth and was here for electives.
Now I need to get back to my work. Bosan gile buat report.

Belajar mempersoalkan
assalamualaikum
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
kadang2, seperti yang saya tulis pada entry2 yg lama, sesuatu amalam yg kita pegang terlalu lama, kita tidak pernah mempersoalkan sama ada itu adat ataupun ibadat. yang adat dikenali sebagai adat, dan yg mengamalkan ibadat dituduh pengkhianat kepada tradisi adat.
sy kecewa dengan diri sy sendiri bila berhujah pagi tadi, kerana jelasnya kekurangan ilmu sy berhujah dengan 'ustaz ni kata ni, ustaz tu kata tu'.
sy bukan hendak membangkitkan isu2 kecil seperti dibawah ini. tetapi niat saya ingin membuka mata saudara agar mengamalkan Islam seperti yg disuruh sahaja, dan meninggalkan amalan yg tidak diajar, walaupun ia kelihatan seperti amalan yg baik. Seperti kata2 umar abd aziz 'bidaah itu sesat w'pun ia kelihatan mulia'. ayat yg lebih lengkap ada dalam buku popular hadith 40 yang ada di sume masjid kat malaysia.
"MAKA BERPEGANGLAH DENGAN SUNNAHKU(RASULULLAH S.A.W) DAN SUNNAH KHULAFA AR-RASYIDIN AL-MAHDIYYIN.BERPEGANGLAH DENGANNYA DAN GIGITLAH IA DENGAN GIGI GERAHAM . JAUHILAH KAMU DARI PERKARA-PERKARA YANG DIADA-ADAKAN(DALAM AGAMA) , KERANA SETIAP YANG DIADA-ADAKAN DALAM AGAMA ITU BIDAAH DAN SETIAP YANG BIDAAH ITU SESAT"(SUNAN ABU DAUD)"
soalan2 di bawah ini diharap dapat membuka mata agar saudara mempersoalkan samada amalan yg anda lakukan itu adat atau ibadat. Jika adat, anda hanya dapat letih dan pahala yg hampir pasti tak dapat. Amalan itu bukan sekadar niat sahaja kene betul, tetapi amalan itu mesti berlandaskan hadith2 utk cara dan hasil yg terbaik.
Soalan 1) Saya ingin bertanya....adakah bacaan al-fatihah yg ingin kita sampaikan kepada yg telah meninggal dunia sampai dan diterima oleh mereka?Terima kasih.
Jawapan - Mengirim bacaan al-Fatihah kepada si mayyit adalah amalan keMelayuan sahaja dan tiada sandaran dari AQ maupun asSunnah. Ini amat menghairankan kerana jelas dalam madzhab Syafi'iy, pahala bacaan al-Qur:an tidak sampai kepada mayyit. Ibn Kathir (tafsir surah anNahl) memetik kata2 Imam Syafi'iy ra bahawa bacaan al-Qur:an dari orang yg hidup tidak sampai kepada mayyit. Lajnah Fatwa dan penyelidikan KSA juga memfatwakan amalan ni tiada asalnya. Namun kita berlapang dada kerana terdapat perbahasan dalam isu ini dari fuqaha' mutaakhirin yg mendokong amalan tersebut. Tapi yang lebih hampir kepada kebenaran ialah pendapat al-Imam Muhammad bin Idris al-Syafi'iy yg hidup di awal Islam. sekian
Soalan 2) mengenai tahlil, para tabien dan tabiut yg buat betullke?? tetiba saja ad hamba allah kata ia dr tabiin dan tabiiut?? adakah ia benar?? setau saya imam syafi'i dr kalangan tabi'in dan tabi'ut kan?? kalu slh tlg btulkan...
Jawapan - Upacara berkumpul di rumah si mati untuk selamatan yang dipimpin oleh pak lebai dengan membawa wirid dan kemuncak wirid itu ialah membaca tahlil. Maka dinamakan majlis tahlil arwah (Malaysia) atau tahlilan di Indonesia.
Jika di kalangan tabi'in, ialah Imam Syafi'iy dan Imam Syafi'iy, beliau mencela amalan tahlilan arwah dalam kitabnya al-Umm, bahawa Imam Syafi'iy membenci berhimpun di rumah mayyit." sedangkan masa itu hanya berkumpul sahaja tanpa ada upacara tahlilan. Itupun sudah dicela oleh Imam Syafi'iy, jika ada upacara membaca tahlil beramai-ramai, sudah tentu Imam Syafi'iy akan bertambah benci akan amalan begitu.
Maka dakwaan si fulan itu adalah dusta dan zaman tabi'in dan tabi' tabi'in adalah zaman keemasan Islam, yakni Islam tanpa bid'ah. Islam murni dan asli. WA
Soalan 3) di sini ana ingin bertanya apakah hukum membaca surah al fatihah pada permulaan majlis?
Adakah ia satu sunnah?
Jawapan - Amalan membaca Fatihah di permulaan majlis tidak ada sandaran daripada syariat Islam. Sedangkan amalan ibadah mestilah disandarkan kepada dalil daripada Quran dan Sunnah. Amalan ini tidak didapati dalam kedua-duanya.
disini bukan medan utk bertengkar.jika anda berkeras ingin lakukan, silakan. tapi jgn gunakan nama Rasulullah untuk anda mempertahankan hujah anda. Katakan pada jemaah anda, itu amalan saya, dan saya tiada kuasa nak bagi pahala pada jika kalian hendak mengikuti saya.
kebanyakan anda semua pelajar universiti, sepatutnya semua aspek dari akidah hinggalah kepada amalan hendaklah bergantung kepada kefahaman dan berlandaskan bukti2 Quran dan Sunnah. Kata2 Ustaz boleh dipersoalkan jika mereka tidak berjaya datangkan bukti.

Hindraf - My Side
assalamualaikum
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
I, PERSONALLY, believe it is a mistake to ban HINDRAF. Surely the claim of ethnic cleansing is wrong. To deny one's right to speak up, it's even worse.
First you ISA-ed them, and now you ban them.
Firstly, If indeed the name Hindu Rights Action Force is wrong, why should PAS get a special treatment. Parti Islam SeMalaysia, and Hindu RAF. Let them be in peace with their religion. One of the Gerakan leaders yesterday questioned yet again on the special priveledges of the Malays. We have not seen any action taken yet.
I can only agree with PAS' Dr Kamaruddin Jaafar's comment:
"There are a lot of coalitions and non-governmental organisations which have emerged and bring up all sorts of issues. It is strange why Hindraf has become the only target," said the Tumpat MP.
Secondly, if Hindraf's objectives are causing so much trouble, bring them to the court. They can decide who's guilty and who's not.
Quran is a complete guideline to one's life. Look at how Islam encourages you to think wisely, and look at the example given
52. (Ingatlah), ketika Ibrahim berkata kepada bapaknya dan kaumnya: "Patung-patung apakah ini yang kamu tekun beribadat kepadanya?"
53. Mereka menjawab: "Kami mendapati bapak-bapak kami menyembahnya."
54. Ibrahim berkata: "Sesungguhnya kamu dan bapak-bapakmu berada dalam kesesatan yang nyata."
55. Mereka menjawab: "Apakah kamu datang kepada kami dengan sungguh-sungguh ataukah kamu termasuk orang-orang yang bermain-main[961]?"
56. Ibrahim berkata: "Sebenarnya Tuhan kamu ialah Tuhan langit dan bumi yang telah menciptakannya: dan aku termasuk orang-orang yang dapat memberikan bukti atas yang demikian itu."
57. Demi Allah, sesungguhnya aku akan melakukan tipu daya terhadap berhala-berhalamu sesudah kamu pergi meninggalkannya[962].
58. Maka Ibrahim membuat berhala-berhala itu hancur berpotong-potong, kecuali yang terbesar (induk) dari patung-patung yang lain; agar mereka kembali (untuk bertanya) kepadanya.
59. Mereka berkata: "Siapakah yang melakukan perbuatan ini terhadap tuhan-tuhan kami, sesungguhnya dia termasuk orang-orang yang zalim."
60. Mereka berkata: "Kami dengar ada seorang pemuda yang mencela berhala-berhala ini yang bernama Ibrahim ."
61. Mereka berkata: "(Kalau demikian) bawalah dia dengan cara yang dapat dilihat orang banyak, agar mereka menyaksikan."
62. Mereka bertanya: "Apakah kamu, yang melakukan perbuatan ini terhadap tuhan-tuhan kami, hai Ibrahim?"
63. Ibrahim menjawab: "Sebenarnya patung yang besar itulah yang melakukannya, maka tanyakanlah kepada berhala itu, jika mereka dapat berbicara."
64. Maka mereka telah kembali kepada kesadaran dan lalu berkata: "Sesungguhnya kamu sekalian adalah orang-orang yang menganiaya (diri sendiri)",
65. kemudian kepala mereka jadi tertunduk[963] (lalu berkata): "Sesungguhnya kamu (hai Ibrahim) telah mengetahui bahwa berhala-berhala itu tidak dapat berbicara."
66. Ibrahim berkata: Maka mengapakah kamu menyembah selain Allah sesuatu yang tidak dapat memberi manfaat sedikitpun dan tidak (pula) memberi mudharat kepada kamu?"
67. Ah (celakalah) kamu dan apa yang kamu sembah selain Allah. Maka apakah kamu tidak memahami?
68. Mereka berkata: "Bakarlah dia dan bantulah tuhan-tuhan kamu, jika kamu benar-benar hendak bertindak."
lessons from above:
1) tradition is not the best source for daily acts. everything must be evidence based. E.g. ask your Ustaz to come up with Hadith/Quran why we do this and that. There must be a reason when I say we DON'T have to tahlil when somebody passes away.
2) when you can't back up a claim with facts, you don't shut/beat them up. You become a loser as a result.
There's an interesting article written in Malaysiakini. Unfortunately, you need to have a username and password to log you in. Title is Moving beyond Race by Teh Tarik.
[Preview]
"In Malaysia, if it is a Malay issue it is a national issue; if it is a Chinese issue, it is a racial issue; if it is an Indian issue, it is a non-issue."
It's ironic how I repeatedly mentioned how I hated Utusan that I still visit Utusan online regularly. I don't do one sided story.
Whether you agree, or not, what I wrote above is merely my personal opinions. I am happy to be proven wrong.

occasionally I pay a visit to PARADIGMA. Honestly I haven't done so in ages. I did today, n I came across a really interesting hadith.
TAKUTLAH KAMU SEMUA KEPADA ALLAH MENGENAI WANITA (ISTERI) KERANA KAMU TELAH MENGAMBIL MEREKA DENGAN AMANAH ALLAH [Hadith riwayat Muslim]
you don't have to wonder why now the divorce rate is sky high in non-Muslim western countries. the same pattern is seen in big cities e.g. Kuala Lumpur when people start to adapt Western lifestyle.
some say 'u need to live in with your partner before u get married'. no strings attached life is fun, but it won't anymore when a baby pops out. AMANAH. what happens next, the girl starts crying, and the boy starts running away. so much for 'knowing your partner well'....
i'm pretty sure most of you are familiar with Spiderman's great power comes with great responsbility.

He speaks of how the Federal government has denied the Kelantan people of the development and the projects they deserve as Malaysians. "It's one of the sins of the Federal Government," he says. When PAS (or Pakatan Rakyat) takes of the Federal Government, "that sin" will cease to be committed, along with t"he other dosa-dosa" like the ISA, he assures
So, I asked him about Anwar Ibrahim's December deadline to take over the Government from the BN. The deadline, Nik Aziz told me, isn't important. What's imperative is that the takover must happen. "Mesti," he reiterates.
Fingers crossed...
"We have built our base to go forward, if it (taking power) does not happen this week or next week, it can possibly happen before Eid al-Adha festival," Anwar said late on Friday in comments reported by the mass-selling Berita Harian newspaper
fingers crossed again......
and UMNO on the other side, are fighting for their survival. Gerakan's decision to remain in BN in my opinion will add more liability to the ill state Barisan National. Should you want to believe Dato' Seri Najib's is the saviour of BN, feel free to think so. My request is, don't go around and 'force' people to accept your thought. Only intellectual discussion is encouraged here...
and this video explains how UMNO was defeated in the last G.E. in a very humiliating manner.
this is even more ridiculous
KUALA LUMPUR: The Cheras Umno division has started a fund to assistUtusan Malaysia in defending itself against a RM30mil defamation lawsuit filed by Seputeh MP Teresa Kok.
Kicking off the fund with a RM20,000 contribution, division head Datuk Syed Ali Al Habshee said the Tabung Azan would also be used to assist mosques and suraus that needed money to buy loudspeakers for the purpose of the azan (call to prayer)
digging your own graveyards huh? Gerakan is trying to be more multiracial, n the other party trying be more........I don't know..
political matters aside, I feel happy today that I have met my long lost Darjah 6 friend.n he's already married.. =)..jumpa kat friendster je...berkurun dh x jumpa..
n time meeting JPA tadi, masa introduction kene sebut nama sekolah..dak2 lain xpe kot diorg baru abes skolah, tp sekolah menengah saya tamat 8 tahun lepas kot..hehe..

I do in fact, notice that I have been slightly out of control lately. Sort of disinhibited. I have not crossed the line yet, but the more you commit consequently the closer you will get. I do not want anything bad to happen, honestly.
1. Telah dekat kepada manusia hari menghisab segala amalan mereka, sedang mereka berada dalam kelalaian lagi berpaling (daripadanya).
2. Tidak datang kepada mereka suatu ayat Al Quran pun yang baru (di-turunkan) dari Tuhan mereka, melainkan mereka mendengarnya, sedang mereka bermain-main,
By all means, if you happen to be there when I'm there, just stop me. I might get angry, but I will thank you eventually.
I don't have to reveal everything what I did, it is best described that I have lead myself astray. I feel restless, I feel empty. I feel totally opposite to how I behaved in Ramadhan.

I believe Pak Lah deserves an applause for his bravery. One of the Sarawak BN leaders comments it as 'a rare trait in 3rd world country leaders'. Indeed it is. Power, money and women, most people can't resist any of these, if not all. Thailand as the nearest example, or if you are so outdated enough, Mugabe from Zimbabwe would I hope open your eyes.
Whether Pak Lah has performed better than Tun Mahathir, I do not think it's fair to compare. There was no Malaysiakini or Youtube in Tun's era. This tells you why Pak Lah is not left with other choices but to resign.
One thing that I dislike is the handing over of the post. As if being a PM is a small matter, that you can decide to sell or buy whenever you want. Let the members decide. My opinion is UMNO is now not a force to be reckon with, as it used to be before, and that needs fixation.
PAS on the other hand, are taking 1 step ahead in building racial harmony.
THREE PAS assemblymen attended the Nine Emperor Gods Festival at a Chinese temple in Kedah on Tuesday night, China Press reported.
there you go...PAS as a radical Islamic Party is an image portrayed by UTUSAN MELOYA. If you insist on believing utusan, go ahead.
enough of politics.
Have you heard of a song 'Insan' by Rabbani. SERIUS TAK BEST. Don't get emotional, what entertains you does not necessarily apply to me. Relatively, the original version by Yantzen is so pure and better. I grew up listening to Malay bands. They are the best. Rock kapak the best.
Kita adalah insan
Menumpang atas dunia
Aku dengan caraku
Yang sederhana
Kita adalah hamba
Berbakti pada Yang Esa
Aku mencari sinar Keredhaannya
Kita sama sahaja
Bezanya cuma amalan kita
Engkau dan juga aku
Saling perlukan
Oh cinta yang murni
Sebagai ikatan
Yang kukuh di hati
Demi masa depan
Jangan dihancurkan
Hidup yang indah ini
Akibatnya merana
Jangan hancurkan
Hidup yang indah
Kita adalah hamba Yang Esa
Menumpang atas dunia
Aku dengan caraku
Yang sederhana
Kita adalah hamba
Berbakti pada Yang Esa
Aku mencari sinar Keredhaannya
Kita sama sahaja
Bezanya cuma amalan kita
Engkau dan juga aku
Saling perlukan
Oh cinta yang murni
Sebagai ikatan
Yang kukuh di hati
Demi masa depan
Jangan dihancurkan
Hidup yang indah ini
Akibatnya merana
Jangan hancurkan
Hidup yang indah
Kita adalah hamba Yang Esa
