Political Suicide

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

Malaysians are hit with another storm. Anwar Ibrahim has been accused with sodomy again. While I have the tendency not to believe this news, I urge everyone to be just in their views. We are taught on how to deal with this in the Noble Quran

6. Hai orang-orang yang beriman, jika datang kepadamu orang fasik membawa suatu berita, maka periksalah dengan teliti agar kamu tidak menimpakan suatu musibah kepada suatu kaum tanpa mengetahui keadaannya yang menyebabkan kamu menyesal atas perbuatanmu itu.(Al-Hujuraat,ayat 6)


I wonder if UMNO thinks they are actually accelerating their rehabilitation or maybe, its funeral? I see this as another attempt of political suicide.However, as I say, we have to remain fair and just.

till next time

another perspective

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

there was this elderly gentleman 2 days ago saying this to me;

'kamu ni nampak simple je tapi saya tahu kamu ni IQ tinggi'.

He could not be more wrong.....lol!

I will start writing properly in a very near future. I have written absolutely nothing but rubbish over the past 2-3 weeks. The mood is just not there. There are some issues that I feel I need to clarify a bit more.

We need to think before we express our thoughts. Just stop talking if you're doing it for the sake of just voicing out your opinions. Opinion is one thing, the validity of your opinion is another important thing.

I know, people easily get carried away after being given compliments. That's when you/I need to be extra careful.

till next time,
assalamualaikum

Christiano Ronaldo

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

Is it Christiano or Cristiano Ronaldo?

I don't want Cristiano Ronaldo to leave Manchester United. It's as simple as that. Nobody really watches Spanish League here in Malaysia, so what's the point of having all the best players in Spain?

These English teams are so good that they have dominated Champs League in many seasons. Let Deco and Ronaldinho come to EPL.

Real Madrid are not the biggest club in the world. What parameters do they use anyway? The biggest club is Selangor, 29 times winners of Malaysia Cup. Hehe...so lame.

If I had a portion of Roman's money, I would spend it on Van Der Vaart, David Silva, David Villa and Gareth Barry.

and to compensate the losses, I would give Dirk Kuyt and Voronin to Selangor.They need to bolster they firepower for Malaysia Cup. How could they lose to 10 men Kedah? why la?

That's the reason I do not major in Economics. Hehe.

assalamualaikum

although this is my 1st entry in 10 days, it is my 5th of this month. So I am not doing that bad. I was away last weekend and life is pretty busy on working days. The term 'working days' does not imply I have started working. I am still a student.

For current overseas students, they see very little the impact of the recent price hike of fuel. What you read in online newspapers does not tell you much. Suffice to say, prices of almost everything have skyrocketed. Today, RM50 was not enough to fully fill my 660 Kancil petrol tank. 7 years ago, when life was relatively sweet, rm15 would be enough to take you to and fro KL-Seremban. Of course rm15 for Kancil la kawan...

Iswara pun lebih rm100 utk penuh..apa macam?

From my point of view, Pak Lah won't last long as PM. I just can't foresee it. Firstly, BN's heavy defeat in 12th General Election. 2ndly, UMNO's internal problem. The list of problem never seems to get thinner I don't think. Will he go down in the history as Malaysia's worst PM?

If given the choice, I'd like to talk more. However, AUKU is yet to be abolished, so I will just store my thoughts in my small brain for now. I have told you before, politics are interesting.

and the moment everyone has been waiting for,

GERMANY are in semi finals!! wohoooo...a week ago, they were laughing at us.

Azri 13|Ballack 13

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

I was thinking of posting pictures this time, but could not find where I kept my external hard disk's cable.

Tell me, could you ask for a better Sunday?

- Germany's win over Poland


- Kubica's 1st Formula 1 win

- Federer lost to Nadal

Anyway, I am in the middle of an attachment in HKL. Malaysia is fun, everyone is friendly here. The consultant and specialist are so keen to teach the juniors. Another factor that adds up the fun is having old friends working at HKL. Azlan Ajaib, Adam, Buff and many more. These are the people mostly I last saw them 7 years ago. They are now on the way up in becoming successful men. On my 1st day, I saw somebody with name tag - Dr. Adam. lol!

When talking about workload, it's absolutely hectic. They work non-stop from 7am-5pm, on call - 7am-5pm the next day(34hrs non-stop). It's crazy! However, the fact they are still able to put on smiley faces the next day is just wonderful.

will I be able to stand it should I come back for good end of this year? I don't know. What I know is Malaysia is the place where I want to be at, the place I call home.

My Bad

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

I felt guilty for what I did few days ago.

I was at TESCO Mutiara Damansara 3 days ago. On my way to car park, there was this Chinese guy waiting at the entrance holding a donation box for Sizchuan earthquake victims. I chose to ignore him. I went away to where I parked my car.

Somehow, I felt guilty. It's ironic because I had donated twice before. I was thinking, as a Malay and Malaysian, I have let Malaysians down. Firstly, because I am a Muslim. Secondly, I am not helping towards the formation of Bangsa Malaysia.

I could have made the man thinking why is this Malay dude not helping these Chinese people? What if, one day, Malaysia is hit hard by Tsunami for instance. Worse case, it happens in Malay dominated area? Maybe these Chinese and Indians will go 'why should we help these Malays, they did not help us when we were suffering?'

It's a mistake. I hope it won't happen again in the future. Sorry

haih, minyak naik lagi

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

I'm sure everyone is aware of the very newly announced increased price of fuel. I had to go to Petronas twice for petrol, and the queue was just terrible.

Whatever it is, there is not much that we can do to stop this from coming. Every other part of this world is also affected. If you don't have any knowledge regarding to this issue, it's better to keep quiet or maybe come up with ideas on how to minimise its impact. Commerce and economics are not my majors, so don't expect too much from me.

talking is cheap. Everyone can spend hours talking about this in warong/mamak stall, it's easy.

What I would like to suggest here goes specifically to smokers. 1 box of 20 can cost you rm7 each. In total approximately rm200 monthly will be spent on cigarettes. If there are for e.g. 1 million smokers out there, RM200m will be saved monthly. It's a huge number. This money now can be used for other beneficial reasons.

Without using 1 million smokers for an example, that rm200 saved is perhaps sufficient enough to cover the 80cent rise in fuel.



When it's analysed in just slightly deeper, one can expect more than rm200 will be saved. Smoking-related diseases will go down, less money paid for medication, less cancer, less heart attacks and so many other things will be prevented.

Smoking related diseases are not just affecting yourselves, many kids are suffering from things like asthma from secondary smoking. More money will now also be saved here.

Having mentioned all these, we still have to remember that talking is cheap. Smoking is extraordinarily addictive. The number is very small for one to quit smoking after one attempt. On average in Western countries is 4 attempts before one will successfully quit smoking.

Any attempt to quit smoking should now be regarded as a success. It takes a step forward before you reach the victorious end of the road.

The question now is, what can we do for the non-smoking majority?

till next time

assalamualaikum

I have been away for the past 10 days. That's why.

I was at Indonesia for a few days. It was shocking to read in Indonesia's press that Ezam was re-joining UMNO. Anything is possible in politics huh? However you want to speculate, nobody really knows his sincerity. Maybe he was telling the truth reform is his main agenda. What is interesting here is the decision that he made, is it worth it to 'jilat ludah sendiri' after going through what he went through? Being detained under ISA, constantly got jailed, n many more..

It remains to be seen how this is helping the re-invention of UMNO. What we read mostly is nothing more than just speculations.

to the girls out there, here is a link that provides you another alternative for online shopping.

MYRA'S ONLINE BOUTIQUE - EVERYTHING UNDER RM30

Owned by my relatives. Myra's Cupcakes is also now constantly taking orders. Sooner rather than later they will need helping hands to help with their business.

to football fans, EURO 2008 is just around the corner. What's your pick this time? I will still be rooting for Germany. Ballack says Germany is peaking at the right time. However Metzelder's comment makes more sense to me. He says that other teams are ahead of Germany in terms of quality. Germany does not have Ronaldo, Gerrard, Torres, Villa, Toni and Henry in their team. Star players do matter in big tournaments, but Greece have showed that efficient teamwork is the best solution.

Fingers crossed here.

I liked what my dad said last week.

'tiap2 kali nak hisap rokok tu jangan lupa save duit sekali, sbb 20 tahun lagi kene ada kurang2 rm50 000 untuk operation'

operation untuk jantung insyaAllah mgkn ada harapan, tapi bila diberitahu anda bole hidup beberapa bulan lepas diberitahu ada kanser??

membazir masa bila anda berfikir dgn emosi.berhentilah merokok.
