US Trip : Log 14 - Philly, Philadelphia

2011-07-28T08:40:00.003+08:00

Philadelphia, first city in this trip which I didn't use its public transport. It is still quite far between 30th St. Amstrak Station and the furthest place that I want to go, but it's doable.

9:30am

Started walking through the Market Street (the East-West side). And first thing I found, the LOVE sculpture. You know, the popular sculpture with 'LO' on top and 'VE' in the bottom. Here, pictures.

That's a tower with Benjamin Franklin in copper at top. Oh, and the LOVE scuplture is behind that very fountain.

11:30am

Reading Terminal Market. Wonderful place and consists of variety shops, from fresh meats, fresh fruits/vegetables, to chocolate truffles and restaurants.

Sad for me, I can't eat most of the food. But, my eyes stucked to this one restaurants, 'Dutch Eating Place'.

Which then I ordered an omelette, fries and hot tea. Very scrumtous omelette. And the fries was freshly cut too. No wonder there's people waiting in line to be served.

There's more. The waitress are all dressed in Germany traditional milkmaid clothes. Looks shy and innocence but hardworking. Thumbs up.

2:00pm

Visited some historical site, such as the Liberty Bell, which is responsible and play a major key in the States Independence and the End of Slavery there.

Went to Benjamin Franklin House too. Though only parts of his house is left. So, no pictures to take. Haha! Actually, I have but in my D7000. Because every pictures in this US Trip log is taken using my iPhone4, which I often forget to take pictures.

4:30pm

Already exhaused. Made me sleep for a while inside one food court in a building which I can't remember its name. Soon, when I'm awake, there's a free coffee giveaway. We only have to pose with the coffee for pictures, and then get a free coffee. Refreshing cold coffee.

Nothing particular happens after that. Just shopping some souveniers.

20:38pm

Waiting for my bus back to Toronto which will leave at 9:45pm.

US Trip : Log 13 - Red Sox

2011-07-27T15:45:00.007+08:00

11:45pm

My first live MLB match, and I've 'betrayed' Toronto Blue Jays, my home team. I went to Red Sox against Kansas City Royals. Great game, great atmosphere too. They said Fenway Park is the best MLB site. Maybe it was. Well, Red Sox won the match 13-9. My standing ticket was worth it. As I came to take some pictures, no seat is good for me. After all, I've been walking around the stadium all the time.

Maybe its culture, but I didn't know how much beer every adult who attended such game. Why not? They bought some before game started. The bought some during the game. They bought some more after the game. That's a lot. Maybe, I don't know. I don't drink.

3:41am

Currently on the way to Philadelphia.

US Trip : Log 12 - Boston and Its Area

2011-07-27T05:42:00.003+08:00

Though Boston don't have much monuments compared to DC, but it has enough.

10:30am

It also has the famous abd title-winning sports teams. Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics and Bruins. I'm gonna watch Red Sox match against Royals at 7:10pm tonight. One standing ticket. $20. Pretty good deal for me. Why I didn't get a sit ticket? Well, I buy the ticket so I can take some pictures inside the Fenway Park Stadium. And I don't think I will stay throughout the match, cause bus to Philadelphia is at 11:45pm.

11:30am

Went to Copley Square. And lucky me, there are Farmer's Market today. All sort of things are sold, from flowers, to vegetables to meats and to handmade jewelry.

I walked into a sports store. I think I'll buy a tennis racquet this evening on the way back.

1:16pm

From there, I went to Boston Common. A very beautiful park surrounding a lake. Here, a video of a street musician performing inside the park. His voice and style is pretty much like Jason Mraz, which is why I adore him, in a good way though.

YouTube Video

4:16pm

Next, its all buildings. The Statehouse, the City Hall, the Old City Hall, the Old Statehouse. Well, they made a new one, and keeping the old. So, there's new and old. I wonder why they didn't call it, the New City Hall, the New Statehouse. Haha! That would be awesome.

And I found some cool flowers too. Bougainvillea and Hibiscus. In Malay, its called 'Bunga Kertas' or 'Bunga Raya' respectively. What's cool with that? Well, 'Bunga Kertas' is a common plant you can see in most places in Malaysia. For 'Bunga Raya, well it is actually my country, MALAYSIA's official national flower. So, for me, that's cool.

4:44pm

Just performed my Zuhr and Asr prayer. Got to go now, see some more cool buildings.

US Trip : Log 11 - Boston, Massachuchetts

2011-07-26T01:39:00.002+08:00

6:00am

Arrived on South Station. Had a few McD Apple Pie and its Latte for breakfast. Really cheap though. 2 pieces for $1. Not bad.

That's the Boston South Station.

7:30am

Stored the luggage at the reception. Started the jpurney tp all universities here as one of many things Boston can be proud of is its education.

First, I strolled along Boston University as it is very close to the hostel. Simple university. Nothing much to say about it.

That's the view from Boston University Bridge.

Second, I walked all the way to Harvard University. Who doesn't know Harvard? I mean, it's the most prestige college in the whole world. Had some very pretty, old-looking building. And of course, the students looks just like normal university. So, you don't need to be a real nerd to become No.1.

One of many library in Harvard.

Finally, the other famous university here. Massachuchetts Institute of Technology or always known as M.I.T.. Nothing interesting here apart of the fact that it is the Top University in Engineering Education. All buildings looks pretty much modern.

Well, honestly, I can see no difference between these universities and my current university, University of Toronto (UofT). UofT It has more cool-looking building. So, maybe one day UofT will lead the rank.

4:00pm

Checked-in into my room. Had 2 more guys in the room, one Italian who comes here to study English and another one who I didn't have the chance to speak to yet.

Seconds after I lay down, I feel asleep. Until 11:00 pm. Missed the Maghrib prayer. Alhamdulillah, being a traveler, I can combine the two during Isya'.

US Trip : Log 10 - Last NYC Day

2011-07-25T11:31:00.003+08:00

1:20pm

Started the day visiting Metropolitan Museum of Arts. All was good. It just because one thing. Museum was made to be very large, very vast space. Mean if you want to look at ecery single thing on display, you can't. Plus my already-exhausted leg, I probably managed to 'see' about one-third of the displayed items. So many artifacts, collected from all over the world.

3:30pm

Next, went to the Empire State Building. Quite some view, but as today's weather somewhat cloudy, your sight are limited. So are your photos. It's OK though. NYC is magnificient. Much magnificient when you see it's aerial view.

7:30pm

And just now, as I was walking near Bryant Park, there was a filming happening. They were shooting a jewelry commercial. The model, Tom Hanks and another female supermodel which the crew themselves can't tell who.

Interesting day to finish with. Still, bus to Boston is on 1:30am. Lots of time to spend. Maybe, I'll go to Grand Central Station. They say the building was awesome at night. I'll see it with my own eyes later.

11:04pm

Don't have the energy to go to Grand Central. Just sitting here in McD for free Wifi. I've to go to Penn Station though.

12:30pm

Got onto the Rockafella Centre. Quite a view from the Observation Deck. Really should bring a tripod for better pictures.

Met with two guys. Both from India, but work in US. Led me to Times Square. Spend an hour there. This guy really love taking pictures. Good, as he helped taking pictures of me. Bad, as he emptied the battery.

4:37am

Still haven't gone back to hostel. Well, I'll just have to pray Subh now, then go back to hostel, have a breakfast, and go back to my NYC exploration.

9:30am

Started off by going to Statue of Liberty. Nothing special there. Just the statue. And one group of Japanese or Korean (can't tell) asked me to took their pictures. Well, lots of people asked. But, this one was special, cause I took it using Instant Camera (camera which develops the photos instantly). Cool white camera.

6:25pm

Then, got two museums covered. the Museum of Modern Arts (MoMA), and the Museum of Natural History, which I slept 75% during the theatrical event.

That's the original paintings of the William Van Gorh's Starry Night I think. It's displayed at MoMA.

Will go to Top of The Rock at Rockafella Centre tonight. But, I didn't bring any tripods. I know, improvise.

Anyway, tonight's room.

2011-07-24T06:28:00.002+08:00

7:00am

Seriously, I wonder what do I pay around $55 for one night for. Another $10, I can get 2 night of much lavish room at other hostel.

Tiny, tiny room. I can still consider. There're others.

- No complimentary breakfast.
- Dirty.
- HOT! What the f(ish)! The fact that I'm really tired don't help at all. Slept at 2:30. Woke up around 5:30am. Why? Cause it's too hot. They obviously turned off the cooler. Mad! Mad! Good thing it woke me to pray Subh. Bad thing, too much cash spent. Not worth it. Next time, I'll stick with Hostelling International.

US Trip : Log 7 - What A Lot of Heat

2011-07-23T18:10:00.001+08:00

9:40am

Reached the hostel which at Chinatown NY. Got early check-in which is good. What's not good is the room itself. To get to my room, which is on fifth floor, I'd to pass two floor of what looks like abandoned-house-with-people-living-in-it house.

And my room, its smaller than a prison cell I think. There is like three passage with doors opposite of each other. The ceiling, well there was one for the floor. But, every room has their top opened which I think it to just to reduce air-conditioner cost. Still, it's quite hot in here.

12:30pm

Got me a universal adapter and a memory card reader from B&H. The plan changes after that.

I joined a free Grand Central walking tour. Not that interesting, for me al least. Sure enough, he always talk about Grand Central station. It's History. And since when do I love this subject?

4:46pm

Miss the last ferry to the Statue of Liberty. Just 5 minutes late. Tomorrow, insyaAllah.

Some kids cooling themselves with the fountain. It's that hot.

9:15pm

So, as I got nothing else to dp tonight, I decided that I would watch Captain America. And so I did. Quite a nice movie.

Bus 'touchdown' at 28th St. and 7th Ave. Pray the Subh prayer (18 minutes from Sunrise), then go to Port Authority Bus Station. And another packet of Maggi for breakfast.

Don't really have plan for today. Maybe I'll go to Statue of Liberty first as it'll get crowded this weekend.

7:05am

McD near Madame Tussauds. Just for the Wifi of course. Maybe I'll go to B&H Photo Video or any electronics shop first to buy a universal adapter.

US Trip : Log 5 - DC's Huge

2011-07-22T12:25:00.002+08:00

Well, I underestimated DC. Now, it has taken its toll on me. DC is actually quite large. I thought I'll manage without the Metro, but I really can't. Even with the Day Pass, I can still feel my legs being exhausted of walking.

All because the lack Metro subway line near Lincoln Memorial. And it's quite a walk to get there from Smithtonian stop.

Now I know how the top monument is located. The centre being Washington Monument, with left and right being US Capitol and Lincoln Monument. Bottom and above are White House and Jefferson Memorial.

And because USA has a lot of president, and lots of history, to finish just two levels of National Museum of History resulted the leg didn't feel like one. It's a good thing that not all the Presidents has their monument. Even if R.Reagan and J.F.Kennedy had one each, then I'll regret going here without a car.

That's the Muppets being displayed at National Museum of History.

8:10pm

I missed the free HI Hostel tour. Aaargh!!! Blew my chances.

10:30pm

Waiting for the 10:15am DC-NY bus.

11:10pm

Still waiting.

An hour and a half gone walking, but I hasn't been to any museum/sightings. Today was too hot. Can't help but to buy a Day-pass of $9 USD.

12:30pm - 12:58pm

Greeted by a US Officer. Seconds later, two other officers came. They got curious on me taking pictures of Capitol Building. Then, the 'interview' begun.

"Do you have some identification, sir."
... ... ...
"Thank you for your cooperation, sir."

Huhh! OK, maybe they're just doing their jobs. Thanks officers. Nice to meet you. See you later.

5:00am

Alarm sound. Stop it. Back to sleep.

5:20am

Alhamdulillah, prayed the Subuh prayer.

7:25am

Got a big breakfast. Too many option if you ask me. I brought my own bread. But, they offer more. Bagels, spreads, orange juices, cocktails, etc.

And they practice some good culture too. Everyone must say 'Good Morning' in language other than English. And so I said 'Selamat Pagi'. Another culture, everyone must wash their own dishes. Haha, just like home.

Now it's true that the Malay saying 'Jauh perjalanan luas pengalaman' or 'The further you go, the more you experience'. Just during breakfast, I met with lots of people.

From Kurt, the friendly guy, to John, the one who prepare the breakfast. And so many girls too; Spanish, English, Germany, etc. Plus one lady which was from Toronto. She did her undergraduate at UofT too.

No wonder this hostels got the Top 1 Washington Hotel from TripAdvisor. They deserved it. Hands down.

9:17am

Now to checkout, store the luggages and wander some more at DC, the place to be.

The total opposite to last night. Now, the lines for the bus is that long. The last bus I ride arrived 3 hours late from time. Now is 11:38am. Still, the 9:30am bus is just arrived. All because the damn NY working hours traffic..

Alhamdulillah, they gave priorities to the earlier ticket buyer, means me. So, I got to ride the 11:55pm bus I think.

Now to DC.

4:30pm

Arrive at DC. Checked in at HI Washington. Great dormitory style. Better actually, as it has a full self-service kitchen. So you can cook anything, if you have the raw food. Spices, sauces are given for free. Plus coffee and tea.

10:00pm

What an experience. DC is full of wonderful things. Most buildings are monumental-like. The aerial view from Old Post Office Pavillion is awesome.

Also, there's a live orchestra from the President's Navy Band. Watched it till the end. That's how wonderful it is. Speak of President, the White House is spectacular. Got a lot of photos of it, but sadly I forget the universal adapter. I'll get one at Chinatown first thing tomorrow.

Currently, 11:30pm

Brewing some free coffee and preparing a packet of Maggi Goreng. Supper and then sleep. Long journey tomorrow.

'Nisyan. The one who forgets.

Totally forgetful. I am to blame. Megabus had sent an email stated that tonight's bus has changed to 9pm instead of 10pm.

That means I've missed the bus. Alhamdulillah, the driver of this New York bus was kind enough to let me into his Toronto-NY bus.

So, changed of plan. Slightly. I've to board another bus from NY to DC tomorrow morning.

US Trip

2011-07-19T16:53:00.001+08:00

5 months gone. Well, it's history. Now for a new post.

In 4 hours and 7 minutes from now, I'll be starting my journey to US. Not cool enough? Take this; I will travel alone. Still not cool? Well, to heaven with you.

The itinerary would be:

Toronto > Washington DC > New York > Boston > Philadelphia > Toronto.

Quite a journey, I think. If everything went well, then it will be. I hope nothing problematic arose during this trip. And as this is a very budget travel, the cash and credit that I bring would sufficiently supplying me with food, transport and lodging if all went smoothly. If not; well, I haven't thinking about that.

If I am hardworking enough, providing it doesn't interfere with my night sleep, I'll do some coverage of the trip. You don't want to read it? Well, someone will.

p/s: I went to USA too yesterday, to pickup some item I bought at Amazon.com, which I sent them to the USA/Canada border at a new Kinek point. Been there just about 1 hour. Here's a picture from yesterday which I took using my iPhone4:

United States Post Office at Niagara Falls, NY

720° skid record..

2011-02-27T11:47:00.000+08:00

There will be once in your life when you'll be totally granted to God (Alhamdulillah) when you're still in one shape, perfectly safe, after the car you're in skidded almost two perfect circle.. Guess what, it happened just like that this evening..

-Mustaqiim-

While the objective of going to Lewiston is just to accompany a friend of mine, Mustaqiim to fetch his items at Kinek point (Lewiston UPS Store), the day turns from worse to worst..

The Worse Part

- You're at the US Custom and Border Immigration 'toll', when you're told to go inside the office to get the Arrival Stamp.. Well, its not that bad.. It's just the time wasted there.. After all, they're very famous of their annoying act, isn't it? So, we can expect all such thing..

***end of worse part***

The day went on after all items that we supposed to retrieve was retrieved.. Another 5 minutes delay at the previous US Border, then we'll not be able to achieved the objective.. Next, I drove to Factory Outlet.. Not much balance in the cheque/saving/credit account, so we just looking around while take the chance to pray Zuhr and Asr..

The Worst Part

-Went back to Canada.. Again, as US officials always jealous with my name/d.o.b./etc. I'd to go in to get my Departure Stamp.. All was OK.. Now, as Mustaqiim drove the Toyota Corolla along QEW (Queensway) Highway, there's a lot of snow on the road.. It seems there was a bit of snowstorm coming.. We never expected something very 'big' is coming ahead..

-at the Factory Outlet-

Suddenly, there was a lorry ahead far.. The car in front of us started to brake.. Mustaqiim followed, try to brake.. But, realizing the left lane was empty, he tried to move the wheel to the left.. Now, as one of the wheel was on the snow, and the other one on the road, the car started to skid.. Skidding, skidding, skidding, until we stopped on the emergency lane.. 720° angle.. Can't react much, too shocked on what happened.. Well, maybe it doesn't sound too scary, but for me, watching a bunch of cars coming to you, while you're skidding, you'll be much terrified..

***end of worst part***

At the very moment, I'm sitting soundly, at home.. Safe, that's one gift that is very valuable indeed.. After what happened today, though it cannot be restricted, I really recommend you guys to not drive in snow.. If you really have to, drive REAL careful.. This isn't a joke.. I'm just got lucky today.. Worse could happen anytime, anywhere..

p/s: I actually intended to post something about desktop.. maybe later..

Nailed it !!

2011-02-16T16:38:00.000+08:00

-just some today's photo i want to share-

Yeah, that's right.. Today's APS106 paper was pretty much fun to do.. Like Ahsan Saeed said, "Awesome paper." And I totally agree with him.. By all means, I didn't mean to brag or anything, but maybe just expressing my view of the on the test..

First part, woww!! "Can't it be any easier than this?" That's what I thought.. I guess the instructor just want to give up some free marks to students, which in a way was very kind of them.. So, to not losing any of those, real careful, I jotted down the answer effortlessly.. (like I said, its free marks! Its like you get "1+2x=3" on Calculus exam)..

Next part, its hard.. Well, on the first round (I usually left some questions if I've no idea how to do it, so I came back to it the next 'round', so to say) it looked really hard.. Like, "what the heck is this 'a' and 'b' doing with this 'x'??" And then, on the next round, after breaking down all the variables into its own 'column', continuously laying out the value for each variables, I'm done.. See, the supposedly fairly easy question will be very hard if you don't 'invest' or spend some time with it..

Last part.. This is the part which you write all the code from the "#include " to the end.. They got two of those.. First one: I'd say pretty much tricky and the other one was as tricky but less hard, just because we used to do the 'same' problem in class.. As the first problem goes, it asked to plug in code for rolling a dice, on how much chances that we can get two corresponding value of 1-6 (its a dice, remember) in N times we rolled the dice.. As tricky as it was, while I'd spent most time doing it, there's still something missing from my code.. Next problem, the very famous 'marks' problem.. It's a bit interesting how many questions you can make out of marking system.. Like what grade, passing mark, average, etc.. This question was one of that type.. As I said earlier, we've done some 'marks' problems in class.. So, nothing much to comment on this questions.. The tricky part is, what loop goes first, like "Does this loop goes into that loop? Or is it the other way around?" Well, I guess this goes to every questions too..

That's pretty much like it.. Really looking forward of getting the marks.. InsyaAllah, if nothing goes wrong, I'll do well.. If not, I'll do bad.. Simple..

Some update to my computer thing, still no changes (so, not really an update).. I don't know why it cannot boot on my external HDD.. I'd ended up buying one DVD writer today.. Much easier.. After all, I'll need it some times later..

-the intercom-

And of course, my client meeting was 'canceled'.. We ended up making one conference call in a closed room with the client using some big intercom (above) thing.. As it lasted not more than 10 minutes.. (Glad it was canceled though)..

Built

2011-02-15T13:33:00.003+08:00

Nearly done.. A bit dissapointed with the front LED wire though, which has been plucked out from its metal cover, as I applied too much force to insert it into the 4-pin power supply.. Other than that, everything was fine..

The OS had yet to be installed, partially because I didn't purchase any CD drive.. I thought we can boot from removable drive (i.e. external HDD). But it turned out the other way around. Either I didn't study enough how, or maybe it isn't applicable on first-time boot.. Either way, I'll make it out tomorrow..

literally positioned the opposite way

Tomorrow will be a longgg... day.. There's Client Meeting #2 between 1-3pm.. Then, ECE lab on 4-6pm.. Waitt, do I have one? Cause its on alternate weeks, right? Well, putting that to the side, on 6-8pm, we'll be having the APS106 midterm test.. Though I didn't expect it to be much difficult, I'm hoping to get really high marks.. Cause this is the subject that can lift up my average.. So, better get ready soon.. Cheat sheet is allowed.. But, what on earth do we write on a cheat sheet on computer programming paper?

#include

int main ( ) {
printf ("Hello world");
return 0;

my 1st 'RIG'

2011-02-13T17:16:00.000+08:00

Doesn't sounds, or maybe looks like a blog at all.. The last post was on urm, 2 months ago? Well, I suppose posting something in blog wasn't as important as studying, does it? Though I hardly studying at all..

This post will be dedicated to my will-be-completed desktop computer.. As other gamers or other computer enthusiast called it, my 'RIG'.. Maybe they refer it as their one of or most valuable collection.. Can it applied to me? I guess so, sidelined my D7000 and lenses at first..

So, the history goes back to my high school in Malaysia.. I never bought one single computer, notebook, tablet, phone since.. But, I enjoyed going to PC Fair held annually at the KLCC.. Till then, I've saved a lot, to buy one PC.. I made up my mind to buy one before going to Canada, the DELL XPS Studio 16.. Somehow, I hesitated and went to Canada, having all my savings transferred to my bank account here.. The reality is, I spent all that cash on my new camera.. Not a penny for a new computer..

And then, the Boxing Day passed by.. Overexcited with the low price in the stores such as Canada Computers, I felt this it the time to buy.. So, I bought my Intel processor, the i7-950 Quad Core.. The only thing that I paid myself.. Other items, the Razer backlit keyboard and mice, plus the OCZ Fatal1ty PSU, Asus GTX 470.. all was paid by Tokey (a huge debt for me)..

-keyboard-

-mice-

-processor-

-power supply-

-graphic card-

Those did not sound a PC at all, right? Where's the other items? Well, as financial crisis hit me, I can just watch the above items laying under the table, without even unboxing it.. Well, there's no point of opening the boxes when you can't really ran them on..

When the last scholarship banked in, there's not even a single day I waste.. I just ran through NCIX.com, find all the thing that I need for my 'RIG', clicked 'Checkout' button, and I'm done.. I bought my motherboard, or 'Mobo', as they said, in Memory Express as they have the lowest price for me.. What were they? Well, I bought my Asus VE228BH LED Backlit Monitor, Corsair H70 Liquid Cooling, and other small stuffs that were not worth mentioned.. Wait, there's this two other items.. The Corsair Vengeance 4GB DDR3 RAM, and NZXT Tempest Evo..

-monitor-

-cpu cooler-

-memory-

-casing-

This two items was the only items that hasn't arrived yet.. Cause Pulorator (courier company) didn't operate on weekend, I have to wait till next Monday, to start building up my 'RIG'..

Now that I purchased all this items, and paid back my debt (remember Tokey?), I have to started saving on all my living expenses.. And that's includes my lunch.. I planning that I should never had any lunch after this until the next scholarship payment.. Maybe once or two, if I really feel to have one.. If not, I will just wait until dinner to get some ration into my stomach.. Maybe I've to borrow back some cash from Tokey, just to please my old landlord..

Overall, i'm satisfied with all my investment.. I'll overclocked them, as soon I finished installing the parts, or after I completing my Fundamentals of Computer Programming midterm this Tuesday.. In order of priority, that comes first.. So, till then..

Next post will be in the next two months from now..

D7000 preview

2010-12-11T13:50:00.000+08:00

Too long without any post. So, here's one. A very important one, at least for myself.

The rumours are true. In my possession now, is the new DSLR model from Nikon, the D7000. Though I used to have a Canon before, I had been interested of getting one Nikon when I compared my recent camera to the D90. I don't know why but there's a huge difference of pictures between my Canon (450D or XSi) with the D90. So, instead of getting just that, I thought of getting myself a big-time investment. After all, people don't buy DSLR once a year. And buying it even once every 5 year is rare. So, as for my long-term camera, I decided of buying the D7000.

Not in stock? Well, to tell the truth, the one that I bought is the last stock which I got in Henry's Camera at Queen's Street West, Toronto. Lucky me, right? They said after this, the next stock will be on end of December or on the beginning of January. That will be too late for me, I think. So, anyone who want to purchase one, if you can find one, though it's quite far, my advice is go for it. You won't want to wait for one month.

So now, the camera specs. Well, as I'm too lazy to write all the different specs, you can go to either this link:

dpreview.com (my top camera site to compare cameras)
kenrockwell.com (this site is really good as the author really gives the camera hands-on review)

the D7000, but I'm not buying the standard 18-105mm lens

So far, I'd no chance of exploring the camera. Not that I had no interest in that, but the time limit between my study and the final exam is very restricted that I choose to excel in studies first. Life in University of Toronto can very, very hectic if you did not manage your time well, like me.

So, after using the D7000 for a few times, generally I'm very satisfied with the performance, given the time I've allocated myself to explore it. A few great photos taken, but maybe as I'm just an amateur, the results was not quite good as I expected. Here is some of the results:

Once the Toronto's meridian

More of these at my Flickr page, fa2din

So, as the final exam is currently giving my head a full spin every time I write off something in the white paper, I might have no chance of giving the camera quite a shot. Maybe after the final exam, which the last paper will occur on Dec 21, I will try to look deep through the camera, explore it a bit, trying some tricks and maybe, just maybe the results will be if not perfect, satisfying with the price of $1400CAD that I purchased it with.

N.O.V.A.

2010-10-25T10:31:00.000+08:00

Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance. That's what the acronym stands for. What is it all about? Well, its a game. A very exciting game. And it's on iPhone4. Actually we have to buy the game, but since I've 'jailbreak'ed my iPhone4, it's free of charge.

n.o.v.a.

The game is about a captain from earth on the mission to save the human being from being extinct due to the invasion of aliens from the outside world (universe). What's best about this game is, the game play is very well-presented. And if you play non-stop, you'll be fascinated after 4-5 hours later after completed all the missions. Me, I play all the levels from Easy to Medium to Hard, in 2 days.

shooting the fire-throwing monster

How good the game is? Well, my study time got ruined as I played NOVA all the time. Though I realized that I got midterm test quiz next week, the game is too good to be paused.

Now, I finished the game there is no reason for me to not studying. Still, I'm not studying. Blame the iPhone4. Better, blame the Jailbreak iOS4.1. That's what keeping me all the time, most of it wasted.

I'm gonna get a new layout soon. my current layout looks so 'nice' with all the white and brown colours. haha~

1T4 Midterm Exam

2010-10-22T09:32:00.000+08:00

mid-term had started a week ago. but i just had one paper, Calculus two days ago. which turned out to be in the middle between fail and flying colours. the reason is, some questions like the simple Derivative and Limits and Implicit Function, is manageable. but when it comes to Trigonometry, which is i'm really sucks at, i totally blank. even if i manage to get an answer, it is more to getting a red mark for wrong answer.

well, it's my fault, did not finished the Wileyplus assignment earlier. we had the same questions in the exam which we should do in the Wileyplus. So, whoever done the Wileyplus, e.g. Ikram Hakim will have some bonus as they're doing the same type of question, just this one with different figures.

Sure enough, i hope that i will get at least 33/66 in the paper. It worth a total of 40%, which is a whole lot of the final marks.

Ok, now i have to study for next week's paper, Statics and Engineering Strategy and Practice. Statics, the killer subject, i will kill you with my answer!!

Truss Problem

p/s: all systems is in equilibrium. so, all students should get the same marks eh?

Failure

2010-10-12T13:51:00.000+08:00

Wasted,
All the time we had before,

If you wish you had more time,
You'll end up just the same,
Nothing started,
Nothing accomplished,

See,
You hadn't plan earlier,
And yet you wasted all of it,

poem for me who had wasted all three days of weekend with nothing but useless activity (well, most of it).. in the end, i realized that i've such a lot homework that i can barely finished on time.. huhh.. another week of failure..

still had exam tomorrow.. hmm, maybe i should check back my notes..

MASAT Futsal Tournament

2010-10-10T17:00:00.000+08:00

Ok, dah lama tak update blog. Tak tau kenapa, maybe sebab takde komputer sendiri lagi kut. Ok, so MASAT. stands for 'Malaysian Students’ Association of University of Toronto'. Basically, MASAT nih satu badan yang macam menyatukan student of UofT. Sebab kalau ade event-event yang menarik (e.g. main bola tiap-tiap Jumaat petang), committee akan organize and all students, Malaysians will be invited. So, memang penting. Kalau nak browse lagi,

MASAT Online

Baru-baru nih, MASAT hace decided to organize a futsal tournament between MASAT members. Elmo Ooi yang banyak bagi-bagi email. Salah satu email dia, pasal tak cukup team. Akhirnye, dah deadline.. still x cukup team. Nasib baik ade budi bicara, ade orang yang masuk last-last minute, and cukup lah 6 team.

Semua perlawanan berlangsung di satu bangunan, name dia Hart House. Bangunan nih ade satu part jadik lebih kurang macam sports complex. Ade gym, swimming pool, courts, trek lari. And all this are indoor. Best!!

First match :- my team vs... Eh2, lupe. Team aku, terdiri daripada =

Muzakkir - kecik takpe, tapi macam pelesit.. hahahhh
Shukry - mengelecek, dan mengelecek, dan akhirnye merembattt
Edmond - badan besar satu kelebihan untuk menggunakan body contact
Galmier - passing bola kena lawa2
Khairul - ape-ape hal, kne kacakk
Fathuddin - lari takpe, rembatt susah sikit

Haa, ckup 6 orang. So, semalam first match team kitorang (aku lupe nama team) lawan team Acap DOTA. Masing-masing sama hebat. Beberapa shot agak menarik dilaunchkan ke arah lawan. Striker Shukry menyumbat satu, tetapi dia shoot dalam kawasan D, so the goal is discount. Abes sepak2, last-last seri tanpa jaringan.

Hahah, takpe. First match kut. Masih noob lagi dengan peraturan dan all. Next match, team Busuk lawan team Anas. Sape menang eh? Hmm, lupe plak.. Hmm.. Hmm.. Owh, match nih yang macam-macam kontroversi tuh. Siap ade own goal lagi.. Hahah.. Akhirnye, team Busuk menang.

Team Busuk lawan team Acap plak - Team Busuk menang lagi. eish3, name pun Syafiq Marouane Chamakh Ramlee. Last match, team aku lawan team Anas. Shukry convert penalty lawa, 1-0. And lagi satu goal, aduss lupe lagi. Antare Galmier or Edmond kut yang score.

Abess...

Hari first tournament berjalan lancar. Bgus2. Kena practice nih. Kena kalahkan team Busuk tuh. Hahahh. 1st year punye team, kena gempaq2 cket.

Balek, cam besa. Timmy lah jawabnye. Atau pun dalam glossary Acap, Stim Whoreton.. hahahaha..

Here is some pics:

Team Busuk lawan Team Anas

Bincang Formation

Ape nih ref?? Haha

Ok r tuh. Seri skali, Menang skali..

Aduss, own goal r plak..

Stim Whoreton..

Thats all.. Huhhh, akhirnye.. terupdate jgak blog nih.. still xsure what to do. Its still 4:57 am. I should wait another hour for Subuh prayer..

Ok, till then.

the 19th year..

2010-09-22T15:16:00.001+08:00

Firstly, last night.. my Facebook wall started to get cramped with all those wished.. it's still 20 September.. but of course, Malaysia's time is exactly 12 hours earlier.. which resulted in them getting the event prompt, "Mohd Fathuddin birthday is today", with the small icon of gift beside it..

no worries, i really appreciated every single post.. unfortunately, i slept pretty early last night.. this is all because of those three-sitter VERY COSY couch in my living room, which i used to sleep on every night.. a real 'sleeping-powder' for me.. every time i sleep on this couch, i'll get up late.. i should get rid of this couch soon, or maybe prevent myself from sitting on it at night.. haha..

ok, back to the 21 September thing.. nothing unusual happened at first.. but, the day became more interesting as time past.. before MSE101 (material sc.) class started, Omer the class representative really made up his word the day before (he promised to gave up candies if we vote for him).. and surely, lollipops, chocolate, wafers started flying to any direction.. lucky me, i got a Nestle chocolate.. my first birthday present.. thanks Omer.. though i believe he didn't even recognize me..

then, a few wishes.. class and then, break for 2 hours.. hmm, i'd been thinking, "you know what, i think i still can go to the watch repair shop near St.Michael Hospital.. lots of time to spend to.".. and i did just that.. the thing is, i cannot live without a watch on my wrist.. the other day, the strap broke into two.. its Fiq!! he just pulled my wrist when i asked him to open it for me.. and suddenly, SNAPPP!!! haha.. getting my strap done, 20 minutes was spent.. and the cost is, $20CAD.. woww, its like RM60.. back in Malaysia, i replaced my strap for only RM18, which is about $6CAD..

yea, now i can keep my eyes on the time again.. after a class and a tutorial (i figured it out that it's not nice to skip classes, even tutorial on your birthday.. it cannot be an excuse, right??), i started cycle my DiamondBack bike home.. all of sudden, one policeman on the roadside signaled me to stop.. i don't know why, but of course i stopped..

hey man, stop right there!! (:

Policeman: You should stop at the red light!!
Me : Sorry sir, but i'm new here. I thought the red light is just to alert all the road-users.
Policeman: You're new? How long have you been here?
Me : Erm, about 1 week (actually its been 3 full weeks.. heheh)
Policeman: What are you doing here? Can i see your ID with your name on it?
Me : (giving him the TCard) I'm a student.
Policeman: (looking at the card for a couple of seconds before handing it back to me) Ok, next time, stop at the red light.
Me : Sure. Thanks sir.

Yeay, got caught by policeman on your first birthday in Canada.. i know, what an experience right? i'll never forget the incident, and surely.. i'll keep my word on stopping at the blinking red light..

Erm, about the wishing on the Facebook thing, i managed to get into most of the wished at the Engineering Library.. i managed to reply most of them, though there's some which i just 'Like' it.. thanks guys.. thanks a lot.. you guys painted colourful pattern in my life.. Finally, most importantly, Thank you Allah, for keeping me stay alive till this moment.. May i become better this year than before.. Amiiin..

HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY TO ME !!!

p/s: still waiting for my Western Union transfer to arrive.. will buy a brand new 'gaming' laptop or maybe desktop for myself (it's for study, believe me..) :)

Eid al-Mubarak (Hari Raya Aidilfitri) : Toronto way..

2010-09-13T08:06:00.000+08:00

entah kenapa, sejak sampai di toronto, memang amat malas untuk mengupdate blog.. mungkin sebab sibuk rasenye.. beli barang-barang keperluan.. perabot-perabot and all stuff related to moving a new house..

oleh yang demikian, cerita-cerita menarik sebelum nih xsempat lah nak dipost.. tapi xpe, oleh sebab raye nih amat penting (antara event paling penting), so 'terpakse'lah menulis sedikit.. sikit je kut.. sebab gambar lgik banyak..

orait, so first day (Friday), everyone of first year student skip kelas diorang secara 'tak disengajakan'.. eish3, tapi memang xboleh dielakkan kut.. pagi, semua orang berkumpul dekat rumah Zul (nnti aku cerite dlam post len orang-orang yang ak ckap dlam post nih)..

A Trip to Toronto~

2010-09-01T14:02:00.000+08:00

Alhamdulillah, i had stepped in the Canada soil for the first time, still breathing, around 6:10pm (TORONTO time), which is 6:10am in Malaysia.. with me is Ikki, and Shukry.. Mozza was here too, but only for about an hour.. he had to transit to Queens alone, which he had arrived, i supposed..

Ok.. in details..

on 4am (msia time), my family and I headed to KLIA.. arrived and ate our sahur at Burger King.. later, I became the imam for the Subh prayer.. my father said, "haa, jadik imam lah.. dah nak fly dah nih".. usually he'll be the one who become the imam.. next, after check-in around 6:30am, i got to meet ikki, and mozza.. and afif and sahli and finally shukry..

my family and i was taking up some photos for our last moments together when four of my friends from SM Sains Tuanku Ja'afar arrived.. lucky me that its MERDEKA holiday, so they could come though it's still early.. Haziq (bebear) drove his car all the way from Intec. with Syauqey, Mardhati, Shafienaz (fify) and Amirah (nesya) as his passenger..

friends..

it felt really good to have them with me.. my relatives couldn't come.. some live really far and some got the wrong info.. it's ok.. i understand as they had their own responsibility to take care of.. back to my friends.. well, we chat a lot.. about me going to canada and about other things.. while chatting, two person arrived.. Idham and Fatnin.. now i know with whom this fatnin came.. as the day before, she said that she will come but she'll ride an 'unta' (camel).. so, now idham is the unta.. haha~

the boys.. (from left: haziq bebear, idham, fathuddin-me, syauqey)

chat again.. while fify took photos of us using her compact cam. lucky me again because the JPA official wasn't around.. so, we had more time to spend with our family and friends.. when its time, we hug each other (only male of course).. the moment was the saddest when i hugged my father and mother.. all their sacrifice to me.. how hard they raised me up.. thanks MAK.. thanks ABAH.. i cried on spot.. but, who care?? its normal rite?? wishing farewell to each other, i went down to the counter..

remember - family first

belaian kasih seorang ibu

then is all the official matter.. passport check, followed by the tren to departure hall.. half an hour later, we board the plane.. first, we get pretty 'jakon' with the condition.. its the first time for us, so it's normal.. haha~ taking up some photos using ikki's Kodak compact cam, watching movies.. arrived at Hong Kong.. it felt different.. but not that different, as the time in HK and KL is the same..

there, we tried to find place to pray, as it is Zuhr time already.. i felt some kind of Amazing Race to find the Prayer Room, as people that i ask said things that is not clear whether they know what they're saying.. at last, 10 minutes before boarding time, we found one.. finally.. the funny thing was the room is just in front our Gate.. really wasteful of energy..

Sahli became the imam.. boarding the Air Canada plane, we said farewell to Sahli and Afif.. they're going to Vancouver next.. in the plane.. first it get really weird at times.. its 14 hours of flight!! fuhh.. and at first, we continue fasting.. but after about hours, i look at the window.. its really dark.. we're not supposed to 'berbuka' yet.. but to thinking about hours more of not having any food and drinks.. with our stomach started crunching to be fill in.. at last, we ate the given meal by the FA.. we're given special meal, MOSLIM meal, coded 'MO'.. more meals arrived.. more drinks arrived.. woww, it's nice here, i supposed.. all the food are nice, especially the drinks.. "Orange juice, please".. "Plain water, please".. "Apple juice, please".. "Coffee with creamer, please".. felt like a master for a while..

when we arrived, i was introduced by the passenger next to me, Sheryl who happens to be a FA, but she's not working today, to the on board FA, Monica.. after getting to know each other, we said goodbye.. and finally as i said in the beginning, i stepped on the Canada soil.. after Immigration released us, i went to grab our luggages.. thanks to a Malaysian women who was on board with us (she's on the way to her home, Guelph) who gave us some loonies (1 dollar coins), we're able to grab a trolley to ease us to the entrance where we met Farah Nadia and Suhaila..

these to erm.. women help us to board the nearby bus.. a unique bus for me.. we board the bus all the way to our apartment, in 55 Centre Av. there.. we reached our home.. a bit cold but i think i can stand it.. a bit of jet-lag but its okay.. i need a couple more days to getting used to the surround condition.. we'll, that's it.. i'll post some pics and vids. soon.. wait for it, ok..

p/s: thanks again to my family n friends who came by.. to fatnin, "jauh btol ko dtg.. bgus2.. haha~"

Baba Ali

2010-08-24T01:31:00.002+08:00

last year, Nadia Syazana or Kak Nad (not the one in CPU) had wrote or share in her blog about this cool guy.. the name is Ali Ardekani which he changed to Baba Ali after he converted to Islam.. he's an American, works in IT at California, USA.. enough about bio..

what really cool about this guy is he has started some or by now, many projects using Islamic concept to help and guide us Muslims.. it's like a 'ceramah', but in a way cooler style, as in his videos.. he try to convey the message to the audience using humour which is for me, very easy to understand.. and the issues that he picked is very related to our daily life.. check out his website

ummahfilms

i think i hadn't watch Baba Ali videos since last year.. but thanks to this person (i can't remember who), who posted one of the videos in his Facebook wall, i now follow closely to Baba Ali's next videos.. He usually will update his video posts once a week.. so, by subscribing to ummahfils at Youtube, i hope i'll never miss anything again..

among Baba Ali's projects include 'ummahfilms', the game 'Kalimaat', the game Mecca to Medina' (a game about trading and compromising with other players) and lastly the 'Half Our Deen' website.. this website is like ordinary match-making website for men and women to search for their Mr. or Mrs. Right, only this one is for Mulims.. but, it is not the same.. only the concept is alike, but the way it finds our pair is different.. you get to ask your pair questions for them to ask.. for example, as Baba Ali said, questions like "What is your view about Islam", which is very abstract but important.

dont worry, i'm not going to sign up in the website, at least for now.. haha.. it's just i really envy what Baba Ali did to the Muslim world.. even the "New York Times" and "USA Today" recognize what he did in the States.. He even had been in a television series in UK.. thank you Baba Ali..

recently, Baba Ali posted one about Ramadhan.. really simple, but really helpful..

Future Plan

2010-08-23T12:59:00.000+08:00

went to KL yesterday with the intention of visiting my younger sis, Syazwani.. but before that, my parents and my elder sis and me had done shopping at MYDIN USJ for this weekend 'kenduri doa selamat', for my departure to Toronto of course..

at SESERI (my sis' school), well.. she 'cant' fast (you prob. know why), so we sat there watching her eat and drink.. haha~ well, it's not a big deal though.. sitting outside the Main Hall, i can see some girls studying inside.. one of them looks kinda cute.. she's wearing yellow 'baju kurung.. haha..

later, my sis asked me to help her with a chemistry question.. it's about hydrocarbon and enthalpy change and energy levels.. i cant solve it at first.. but, taking a few minutes understanding the problems, surprisingly i succeed.. the answer is 25g of hexane is used for the combustion.. dont bother the question.. hehe.. i mean, we had left it for 2 years now.. as the concept is not used in CPU.. so, i'm quite relieved that i can answer the 'easy' question (well, it should be, right? it's just that i didnt study quite much)

we discuss about my brother's wedding this becoming december.. it will cost a lot.. this weekend 'kenduri' alone had cost my dad about 500 plus.. suddenly, my mom said,

"Din, sekarang ni lah nak carik calon-calon.. macam kat dalam dewan tuh.. jauh sikit beza umur ngan isteri.. baru best sikit..."

all of the sudden, she said that.. haha, seriously, i haven't think about marrying anyone.. but, what my mom said is true.. i should find a girl younger than me for my future wife, at least 1 year.. haha, but for me it didn't hurt to have one of the same age with me, right? it's just as my mom said, "tak best sikit lah"..

besides, she said that she can save a lot of cash if i ever married overseas.. why not, there's not a single 'kenduri' for them to pour all their cash into, if i do just that..

JPA itself had announced earlier during the pre-departure briefing, that we can marry at Canada, but only after our 2nd year ends, which in on 3rd year 'lah'.. so, anyone?? the girl from the Main Hall?? hehehh~

p/s: rempah-rempah tak tau r ckup ke tak.. sbb ak bli mcam sikit jek klau nk tahan setahun tuh..

kekacauan ketika Terawih

2010-08-20T00:57:00.000+08:00

"BOOM!!" 10 saat lepas tuh, "eiiiiii..BOM!!"

bunyi-bunyi yang bagi aku skang nih tak menyenangkan langsung, at least time solat terawih.. aku tau dulu aku main jugak mercun2 nih, tapi masalahnye, aku dulu men sebelum solat isya' and lepas abes terawih.. tuh jek.. and aku men jauh, kire takdelah dengar kuat sangat jemaah kat surau tuh..

makin menjadi-jadi pulak budak2 kecik kat surau aku nih.. time minggu first ramadhan arituh, ok jek.. sume solat, though ade yang men2 cket kt belakang pun, takdelah kacau sangat konsentrasi nak solat tuh.. nih, time tengah2 solat tuh, diorang pgi bakar mercun BOLA, THUNDERCLAP, NAGA, MANCIS tuh sume apehal? mak bapak tak ajar ke? haa, kan dah..

and kalau solat terawih jek ko men, mungkin boleh dimaapkan lagi, tapi dah time solat isya' pun ko pgi "BOM...BOM!!" (mercun mancis letup 2 kali tuh).. takkan isya' pun ko xnak join solat.. abes, ko datang surau nih bwat per? datang dah awal dah, Alhamdulillah.. tapi, kalau xpernah masuk surau tuh, ape maksudnye ko datang? time moreh, berebut2 plak ko amek air, kuih-muih sume tuh..

ak sendiri terkejut banyak kali time solat sebab dengar bunyi mercun tuh.. aku mude, sihat lagi takpe kut.. takde effect sangat.. tapi bayangkanlah ade orang-orang tua dalam kalangan jemaah tuh, yang ade sakit jantung ke, tak ke bahaye giler?

mak bapak, ape peranan kalian?

kalau tegur sekali jek, pastu bwat dunno lepas tuh, mmg lah anak kalian xtakut.. cube lah marah sikit, bagi tegas-tegas sikit.. aku bukan ape, dulu aku time usia-usia budak2 nih, sebab ak bercakap-cakap time orang tengah wirid, lepas abes doa, kne penampar maut.. bkan besa-besanye pelempang, siap darah-darah lagi hidung aku nih.. tak caye, tanye buddies aku time tuh, Afiq, Ehsan sume..

time kene tuh, aku mcam sedih giler, yelah, kene dpan-dpan orang ramai tuh.. tpi sekarang nih, aku paham marah tuh tande sayang.. lepas dari insiden tuh, aku takde lah main-main lagi kalau pegi surau.. dengar ape penceramah cakap.. or kalau tak dengar, tido r tuh..

aku ingat nak marah jek korang tadi, suruh men jauh-jauh.. tapi tak jadik.. esok pulak balik kampung.. sabtu nnti, tengoklah cmne.. aku pikir nak tegur korang ke tak.. kene pikir jugak, kang aku pegi marah-marah, mak bapak diorang pulak carik aku.. haha..

p/s: camera dah selamat...

Aktiviti-aktiviti Ramadhan

2010-08-15T11:58:00.000+08:00

Dah 4 hari dalam Ramadhan berlalu.. Tak banyak yang berubah.. yang pasti, sahur, bazaar, berbuka, terawih, moreh, tadarus mesti jumpe..

Sahur

mmg mlas nak bgun sahur, lagi time kcik dlu.. tpi skang dh besar.. so agak senang r nak bgun.. though tdoe dlam pkul 1-2 pagi kan.. sahur plak pkul 5 pagi.. adusss, mmg xckup tdoe.. mkan cket2 jek besanya.. kdang2 mkan mknan lebihan bukak pose yg terlebey2 tuh.. besa org mkan bkan men lesu.. tpi ak besanye, lpas bgun tuh, trus bsuh muka, kumur2 cket.. bru r cam dpat menikmati mknan tuh..

Bazaar

3 atau 4 jam sebelum waktu berbuka, gerai2 bazaar nih msti dh ready nak melayan ombak manusia yg bkal dtg.. ak besanye klau pgi bazaar pun, dlam pkul 6 cmtuh bru pgi.. mlas r nak pgi awal2.. smpai sane, pergh.. think of pasar mlam.. just kali nih pasar malam tiap2 hari.. n its pasar petang.. hahah~ bli cket2 jek.. bli byak2 pun xguna.. sbb kt rumah mak dh msak dh pun.. bli air tebu ke, murtabak ke, kuih2 ke.. sbb mnde2 tuh mak xbuat.. btol??

Berbuka

haa, dah pnat2 pose (pnat ke??), pabila azan maghrib berkumandang, kte boleh lah bkak pose.. mule ngan mknan manis2 dlu, preferably kurma (Yusof Taiyuub.. hahahh).. jgan abes lahap sume mkanan kt atas meja tuh.. klau mkan cket, pstu solat maghrib lgi elok.. mcam ade satu notes kt papan kenyataan surau aku tuh, dye tles, (MARI KTE BUKA PUASE CARA NI: wudhuk, dduk/doa sebelum berbuka, berbuka (makan kecil), solat mghrib, makan besar.. haaa, lbey afdal org kate.. xde r kembung perut tuh nnti time solat maghrib..

Terawih

ade tempat solat 8 rakaat, ade tempat solat 20 rakaat terawih.. tpi lain ceritanya di tempatku negeri sembilan.. terdapat satu hadis yang menyatakan Rasulullah s.a.w. menunaikan 8 atau 10 rakaat terawih.. daripada hadis inilah surau n masjid kat tempat aku termasuk masjid2 lain pkai 10 rakaat utk solat terawih.. so, nothing new.. just harap tahun nih xde tinggal solat terawih r.. bkan kate tahun lpas ade tggal.. just sbb kte xtau mase depan.. so, insyaAllah xtggal..

ade satu isu jek.. bdak2.. aduss.. pening btol ak.. menjerit2 time org tgah solat.. lari2 msuk keluar saf.. nseb bek kcik lgik.. n nseb bek ak muda lgik.. klau ak antara orang2 tua kt dlam surau tuh, msti ak dh sruh diorg syap.. which will last for max 5 minutes.. haha~ xpe2, bulan Ramadhan nih.. jgan mrah2.. org kjar pahala, bkan buang pahala..

Moreh

haa, nih antara tentatif menarik dlam program harian bulan ramadhan.. lpas solat terawih, witir, ade r 'cket'2 jamuan untuk jemaah nih.. orang mmg tggu2 moreh nih.. kadang-kadang kne beratur pnjang2 nak amek mknan.. tpi xtau knape, tahun nih, ak xprnah plak mkan moreh.. sbbnye, dah kenyang sgt mkan time buka puase..

Tadarus

Hmm.. menarik sungguh aktiviti nih.. blan2 len bkan xde.. just jarang r dalam bulan2 len, kte bace org len semakkan bacaan kte.. so, surau ak nih dari dulu lgik dh bwat aktiviti nih, surau n masjid len pun sure bwat pnye.. pas moreh, atau kdang2 time moreh pun dh ade yang start bace.. byak cara bacaan boleh buat time tadarus nih.. 1.satu kumpulan bace satu juzuk.. 2.semua kumpulan start dari hari first ramadhan bace juzuk 1 smpai 30.. msing2 ade kelebihan tersendiri.. org patutnye kne bace ikut tajwid n tartil, tpi xkrang jgak yg berlumba2 nak abes cpat.. jgan contohi yang nih..

p/s: nih version dah matang cket.. nih si kerol suruh bgtau pengalaman time kecik2.. so, maybe next post..

Perhatian - football fans

2010-08-11T00:43:00.000+08:00

kpade sume football fans kt luar sane (termasuk r ak nih), season nak start dah, EPL start Sabtu, liga2 len (Spanish, Bundesliga, Ligue 1) pun lbey krang r..

tpi Ramadhan dah start.. so, nak ingtkan kt korg sume, Ramadhan tuh lagi penting drpd game2 bola tuh.. xkesah r ko minat chelsea ke, Manutd ke, Newcastle ke, terawih tuh amat dituntut bagi kita Muslim untuk menunaikannya.. klau game pkul 11mlm, 1pgi xpe r.. tpi besanya game start pkul 8mlm, 9mlm.. so, jgan sbb bola, terawih tggal.. bola tuh dunia jek.. sama-sama kte rebut peluang Ramadhan nih..

klau ko kate terawih bley bwat lpas tgok bola, ok.. ak nak tgok sape yg bley tgok bola tuh, dh 2 jam.. pastu dye solat terawih dengan khusyuk.. tnpa langsung pkir psal game yg dye tgok tdi..

haa, so.. conclusionnye..

RAMADHAN 1st,

then only FOOTBALL

Manusia Bijak

2010-08-09T23:29:00.000+08:00

Rasulullah pernah ditanya, "Siapakah manusia manakah yang bijak?"

Rasulullah menjawab, "Iaitu manusia yang sering mengingati mati, dan dia

pula bersedia untuk menghadapi hari tersebut."

Jadi kawan-kawan.. Sama-sama muhasabah diri, tanya diri kita berapa banyak dalam seumur hidup kita nih, kita ingat pada mati.. Berapa banyak pula kita rase kita dah buat (berusaha dan beribadat) bagi menghadapi hari jasad kita dipisahkan daripada roh kita.. Sama-sama kita renungkan..

Tooth

2010-08-07T01:01:00.001+08:00

p/s: xbest pun dialog nih sbnrnye.. just wanna pay tribute to those doctors out there.. hehh..

Isteri vs Bidadari

2010-08-05T00:23:00.001+08:00

Tadi kat masjid, ustaz kate Allah menentukan segalanya...

Buktinye, isteri2 kte (dye ckap kat org2 tua r).. isteri2 kte sumenye kte xknal lgsung, sbb mak bpak yg plih.. xpernah lgsung ade perasaan sayang kt isteri.. tapi lepas dh kahwin, dua2 dh lalu suka duka n pengorbanan masing, bertambah2 kasih sayang sesame suami isteri tersebut...

Tapi, perempuan2 yang kte dlu ade hubungan dgan mereka, 2, 3 tahun.. yg dlu bkan men r declare kte ske ngan dye.. sayang smpai ke akhir hayat.. u jump, i jump lah.. xprnah pulak jdik isteri.. klau ade pun, jarang-jarang.. bak kate p.ramlee, kadang-kadang.. knape?? sbb Allah Maha Mengetahui..

Ustaz tmbah lgik, org2 dlu xkesah pun mak bapak calonkan isteri masing2.. tpi zaman sekarang nih, bkan men lgik.. mmg xde dah calon-mencalon nih.. anak2 bwak perempuan datang umah, sruh mak bapak pilih..

Ustaz bagi contoh: bawak 3 perempuan.. pstu ckap kt parents, "haa, mak ayah berkenan kt mane?? klau xberkenan, esok dtg lagik bwak lgik 3 org"... Hahaha.. pndai btol ustaz nih bgi contoh.. tpi mmg btol pun, though xde r mcam tuh skali, bwak rmai2 sruh pilih.. kejam gler.. haha~
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ustaz ckap lgik.. nnti kt dalam syurga, isteri2 kte dinaikkan darjat drpd bidadari syurga.. mknenye, disebabkan isteri2 kte dah melalui dunia, dah banyak berkorban utk si suami dye nih, diorg nnti kt syurga lbey2 lgi lawanye ngan bidadari syurga tuh..

Tapi, kadang2 ade ustaz doa, اتخاذ متواضع dalam doa2 diorg.. mksudnye, "memperisterikan bidadari".. yg lelaki ske r Amiinkan.. tpi yg yg perempuan, si isteri2 nih, sbb xtau mkne, Amiinkan jek r.. Alhamdulillah, si isteri bgi restu kat suami.. heheh!!

p/s: lpas nih dh xde dh klas2 agama kt surau/masjid.. sume dh kne tangguh sbb dh nk Ramadhan.. n ble start blek, ak dh xde.. aduss.. xpe2.. ilmu boley dicari dimane2..

Islam is Peace

2010-08-02T22:58:00.001+08:00

أستغفر الله

The only word that came out from my mouth.

Really shocked when I read this CNN news dated

29 July 2010. Read it, and you'll know why...

Church plans Quran-burning event

Tajuk pun dah macam ganas abes dah. Try bace, mmg agak radikal abes dah. Si Dove World Outreach Center (a New Testament Church – based on the Bible, the Word of God). Diorang nak buat "International Burn a Quran Day" pada 11 September setiap tahun sbb nk stop kan 'keganasan' Islam.

They even said that Islam is the religion of devil!! Berani sungguh.. Sungguh tak beradap.. Dari mane dye dapat ilham nih, aku pun xtau.. Even pemberita yang tengah interview si Pastor Terry Jones, wakil Dove nih pun macam xpercaye apa yang organisasi nih nak buat.. Dye siap bagi contoh, if a Muslim said to him, "I dont have problem with you, Mr. Christian. You're welcome to our country. But I'm burning your Bible." And he said, he'll get angry. Nah, so now bile dye bwat the same thing to us, welcoming us, but burning our Quran? Dont we, as Muslim feel offended? Think it again, Dove. You're wrong, you're so wrong.

Muslim has reached 1.5 billion in number. But we are still vulnerable to the outside threats. So stand up Muslim.. We cannot just let the others condemn us. Show them what Islam is really are. All those violence which is blamed on Muslim is not what Islam really are.

Islam is not a religion of devil, but Islam is the religion of peace.. The name Islam itself is derived from the Arabic phrase, Salama means Peace (sejahtera). So, Muslim.. Practice your true Islam. InsyaAllah, the world will be at peace, even between Islam, Christian, Jews, Buddhism and others.

How Islam is Viewed

2010-07-30T00:04:00.001+08:00

Assalamualaikum...
Actually, I got this email from my group RAKANMASJID in YahooMail which I subscribed. I haven't check those emails since forever. And tonight when I saw this one, I feel that I should make it my blog post. Though not much, we can see how Muslim are being treated in this world. So, brothers and sisters, be strong. Allah has promised to take care of us. So, believe in him. One day insyaAllah, we will be victorious. The light of Islam will be propagated throughout this entire world...

!!!الله أكبر

Dan (ingatlah) tatakala Tuhan kamu memberitahu: "Demi sesungguhnya! Jika kamu bersyukur nescaya Aku akan tambahi nikmatKu kepada kamu, dan demi sesungguhnya, jika kamu kufur ingkar sesungguhnya azabKu amatlah keras" (Surah Ibrahim: 7)

Sedikit Tazkirah...

2010-07-13T00:26:00.000+08:00

Hari ini tiada apa-apa program, tazkirah, kuliah di surau mahupun masjid. Jadi, saya hanya duduk di rumah selepas Maghrib dan mula membelek-belek buku La Tahzan ataupun Jangan Bersedih yang telah lama ditinggalkan sejak habis pengajian di Taylors College hari itu. Masih ada lagi tanda buku tempat saya baca terakhir. Saya teruskan membaca. Seperti biasa, saya baca dua mukasurat sahaja. Tidak mengapa, sedikit-sedikit, lama-lama habis jua. Saya terjumpa beberapa petikan menarik daripada dua muka surat ini.

- Islam itu berasaskan keseimbangan dan keadilan, baik dalam aqidah, ibadah, akhlaq, mahupun tingkah laku. Jadi, Islam tidak mengenal orang yang bersedih yang menakutkan orang yang melihatnya, serta orang yang ketawa terbahak-bahak. Sebaliknya, Islam mengajar supaya menampilkan wajah yang tenang, selalu berseri dan enak dipandang sehingga menyenangkan orang.

- Antara (1. harta yang banyak dan kedudukan yang yang tinggi) dengan (2. jiwa yang tenteram dan damai dan selalu tersenyum), yang kedua adalah lebih baik. Sebabnya, apa ertinya harta yang banyak apabila wajah selalu muram? Apa ertinya pangkat dan kedudukan sekiranya jiwa sentiasa cemas? Apa ertinya segala yang ada di dunia ini, apabila perasaan bersedih seumpama orang yang baru sahaja selesai menghantar jenazah kekasihnya? Apa ertinya kecantikan seorang isteri sekiranya sering berwajah muram dah hanya membuatkan suasana rumahtangga seolah-olah seperti neraka sahaja? Tentulah seorang isteri yang tidak terlalu cantik akan menjadi seribu kali lebih baik sekiranya dia mampu menjadikan suasana rumahtangganya laksana syurga setiap saat.

Itu sahaja buat kali ini. Diharap input-input dapat difahami dengan mendalam oleh para pembaca.

RM8 evaporated...

2010-07-13T00:04:00.000+08:00

eish3.. what a waste.. RM8, u cant buy RM8 top-up which for me, will last more than a month (i hardly use my phone)..

My Brother --> MURDERER!!

2010-07-11T01:08:00.000+08:00

the story goes like this:

Tadi, ble abang ak si Aizat nih kuar nak kunci gate, dye terdengar satu suare.. tpi sbb suare tuh slow sgat, dye pun ignore jek r suara tuh.. tiba-tiba, time dia tengah tarik gate tuh, (gate jenis yg ade one-piece tuh, yg ade rod a tuh) dye nampak ade satu lembaga.. satu, dua saat.. hilang.. dah xde dah lembaga tuh.. so, lagi skali dye ignorekan.. "bayangan ak jek kut, dye kate".. bru stgah jalan gate tuh nak ttup, nmpak blek lembaga tuh.. nmpak mcam seorg lelaki botak.. abang ak pun pggil ak mnx tlong.. ak bukan men lagi, trus capai senapang kat tepi kereta nissan bpak aku, trus tembak.. eish3.. kejam2..

10 min pastu, polis datang..

Abang ak kne soal siasat r.. abang ak citer: tuan, saye xbersalah tuan.. sbnrnye tdi, time saye nak kunci gate, ade satu bnde nih.. Ia tetibe berada di depan roda gate tersebut.. saya xperasan sbb besanya saye tarik gate tuh elok jek.. lancar tanpe ape2 gangguan.. tpi tadi, saye rse mcam ade bnde stuck.. sdar2 ade katak kt bwah tuh.. eish3, saye ingt nk slamatkan tpi melihatkan keadaannye yg telah parah, dengan badan hampir terbelah dua, saye pun pggil adik saye si Fathuddin tuh suroh tlong saye buang katak yg telah sesak nafas tuh.. dye pun, amek air yg pkai pemancut tuh, lalu dye pancutkan air tuh smpai katak tuh jatuh dlam longkang.. the end..

so, cmne nih.. plih r mne satu yg sesuai.. ak xbley bgi keputusan skang, sbb nnti poliskan dakwa ak bersubahat dengan kematian seorang lelaki/ seekor katak yang xbersalah..

p/s: xde kne mengena dgan konsep yang diketengahkan oleh Yann Martel dlam Life of Pi.

KISAH BENAR

Assalamualaikum wrh wbr.......kisah benar.. Sebarkan lah, untuk pengetahuan muslimin dan muslimah.....

Kisah Farhan (Kisah Perjalanannya Masuk Islam)

Nama saya Farhan Bin Abdullah. Nama asal saya sewaktu beragama Kristian ialah Johanis. Saya dilahirkan dibumi Sabah dalam keluarga Kristian. Bapa saya seorang ketua Paderi yang menjaga 15 buah gereja disatu kawasan di Sabah . Saya dilatih oleh bapa saya untuk menjadi seorang paderi. Sejak mula PBS bawah Datuk Joseph Pairin Kitinggan usaha kami mendapat sokongan penuh kerajaan negeri.

Kumpulan saya masuk ke kampong dalam berbagai program. Selalunya program khidmat masyarakat. Pihak gereja selalunya membekalkan wang tunai sekitar RM50,000/==. Berbagai aturcara dibuat untuk membantu orang kampong. Kami ziarah rumah kerumah. tanya masalah mereka dan bantu mereka. berbagai masalah diluahkan. Ada kami bantu dengan duit secara spontan. Ada kami hantar keperluan harian,pakaian dan buku sekolah dsn.

Dengan cara ini kami mendekati mereka. Hasilnya dengan beberapa kali kunjungan susulan,kami berjaya mengkristiankan mereka. Paling berbaloi kami mengkristian remaja Islam,tambah berbaloi dari kalangan intelek. Hasilnya kami dapat RM3,000/== setiap seorang Islam yang dimurtadkan. Bayangkan pendapatan saya ketika masih dialam persekolahan.

Sewaktu Tingkatan 3 saya dan beberapa rakan mengambil m/pelajaran Agama Islam yang boleh dipilih dengan lukisan(betapa hinanya m/pelajaran ini setanding dengan lukisan). Saya mendapat A-3. Sewaktu tingkatan 4 saya belajar di sekolah asrama penuh. Saya terus ambil pelajaran Agama Islam.

Tujuan saya untuk tahu mengenai Islam dan memmudahkan saya menyebarkan agama kristian. Saya mempunyai beberapa soalan yang saya kira tidak mampu dihuraikan oleh orang Islam. Pada suatu hari sewaktu tingkatan Enam bawah, saya bersemuka dengan Ustaz yang mengajar saya(saya panggil cikgu). "cikgu saya ada beberapa soalan, tapi saya rasa tak sesuai dikelas ini, bolehke saya kerumah cikgu..."

Ustaz itu bersedia. Lalu saya bersama beberapa rakan kerumah ustaz itu. Saya katakan "cikgu saya mahu berdialog secara ilmiah, bukan atas nama Islam,agama cikgu dan bukan atas nama Kristian,agama saya". saya kemukakan beberapa persoalan, antaranya;- Mengapa orang Islam sembah kaabah Sebenarnya semua agama sama sahaja. Nasrani, Yahudi, Kristian dan Islam adalah agama langit. Mengapa diakhir zaman,
Nabi Isa akan turun bersama Iman Mahadi membebaskan kezaliman dan kekacauan dan bukannya Nabi Muhammad. Mengapa dalam sejarah dan hingga kini orang Islam suka peperangan. Injil sekarang dikatakan diseleweng.Kalau begitu mana yang asalnya.

Yang menghairankan ustaz ini dapat menjawab pertanyaan saya dan kawan-kawan dengan begitu ilmiah. Saya dan kawan-kawan mati akal. Kemudian saya dibebani dengan 3 persoalan yang tidak mampu saya menjawab secara tepat. Apakah boleh manusia(paderi) mengampunkan dosa manusia lain. Persoalan
ketuhanan 3 dalam 1 dan 1 dalam 3 konsep ketuhanan Jesus. Saya mengatur pertemuan ustaz saya dengan beberapa orang paderi, kawan-kawan bapa saya. tetapi mereka enggan. Lalu saya bawa ustaz itu kerumah saya dan bertemu bapa saya seorang ketua paderi. Ternyata bapa saya juga tidak mampu menjawab persoalan yang dibawa oleh ustaz itu. Sebaik ustaz itu pulang, bapa saya memarahi saya kerana bawa 'orang malaya' datang kerumah.

Sejak itu beberapa kali saya tidur rumah ustaz itu. Disamping mengulangkaji saya gemar berdialog dengan ustaz itu. Saya memerhatikan kehidupan ustaz tu,saya mengagumi cara hidupnya. Suatu malam saya bermimpi didatangi 3 orang berjubah. Seorang berjubah hitam membawa salib. Seorang berjubah putih membawa bendera bertulisan jawi. Dan seorang berjubah hijau yang meminta saya membuat pilihan. Yang berjubah
hitam dan berjubah putih saling menarik saya mengikuti mereka. Saya meronta-ronta. Disamping itu saya dapati yang berjubah hitam semakin tengelam dan yang berjubah putih semakin tinggi. Sedang saya meronta-ronta, saya terjaga. Saya mendengar suara azan dan ustaz tadi berada ditepi saya dan berkata,"mengapa Johanis....awak mengigau...."

Saya pegang tangan ustaz itu, saya katakan,"Cikgu Islamkan saya.........".Ustaz itu minta saya bersabar untuk dia uruskan dengan pihak tertentu. Tidak lama selepas itu saya pun di Islamkan oleh Ustaz itu.

Selesai penIslaman saya, saya pulang ke rumah. Sampai di rumah, saya lihat pakaian saya bertabur diluar rumah. Rupanya bapa saya telah tahu. Sebaik melihat saya, bapa bergegas masuk dan keluar semula dengan mengacu senapang ke arah saya. Tiba-tiba emak menerkam dan peluru senapang meletup keatas. Saya segera meninggalkan rumah sehelai sepinggang. Tinggalkan keluarga saya. Tinggalkan sekolah. Saya bersembunyi sekejap rumah ustaz sebelum saya dibawa oleh ustaz pulang ke semenanjung sebaik habis kontrak mengajar di Sabah .

Saya diserahkan kepada PERKIM di Kuala Lumpur. Secara kebetulan rakan saya Nazri,vokalis kumpulan Raihan juga memeluk Islam, tetapi mengikuti kumpulan Ar-Arqam. 2 lagu dalam album pertama kumpulan Raihan adalah saduran lagu koir yang kami nyanyikan dalam gereja sewaktu di Sabah dulu..

6 tahun saya di PERKIM. Saya masuk pula Maahad Tahfiz. Alhamdulillah saya dapat sijil Al- Hafiz selepas 3 tahun. Kemudian saya bekerja dengan Jabatan Agama Islam. Saya banyak masuk kawasan di Negeri Sembilan, Melaka dan Pahang. Tak sampai setahun saya letak jawatan.Saya sedih kerana ramai pendakwah
ini nak berdakwahpun merungut duit over time. Saya rasa tiada keiklasan. Biarlah saya jadi pendakwah bebas. Saya ingin membilas dosa lalu. Saya telah ramai memurtadkan orang..kini saya mahu berjuang untuk mengIslamkan seramai mungkin dengan kualiti bukan kuatiti saja.

Berbalik kisah keluarga saya. Selepas meninggalkan rumah dan belajar di PERKIM saya selalu telefon ayah, emak dan adik beradik saya. Saya katakan jangan bencikan saya. Saya sayang ayah. Saya sayang emak. saya sayang adik beradik saya. Ayah dan emak tetap ayah emak dunia dan akhirat.

Walaupun ayah menyambut dingin suara saya, saya hantarkan buku-buku yang sesuai menerangkan tentang Islam. 7 tahun saya telefon. 7 tahun saya hantar surat dan buku-buku. saya menangis kerana rindukan ayah,emak dan adik beradik. Akhirnya, sewaktu saya di Maahad Tahfiz, bagaikan halilintar saya mendapat
berita........ Ayah saya menganut Agama Islam.

Allah saja yang tahu perasaan saya ketika itu. Saya menangis dan menangis. Saya ambil wuduk dan sujud syukur. Air mata saya menjadi terlalu murah....saya terus menangis...saya pejamkan mata...saya bayangkan ayah dihadapan...saya peluk erat tubuh ayah dan kami menangis bersama........Ya Allah betapa agungnya kekuasaanMu....

Peristiwa yang saya alami sewaktu memeluk Islam turut dirasai oleh ayah saya. Dia dihalau dari rumah yang diberi oleh pihak gereja.

Kini saya pendakwah bebas. Saya sedih melihat umat Islam hari ini berpecah. Kita berpecah kerana kita
meninggalkan Quran dan sunnah Rasul. Kita ambil sebahagian dan kita tinggalkan sebahagian. Kita ambil contah pelaksanaan hukum Hudud dan Qisas. Mengapa kita cari jalan nak menentang pelaksanaanya. Sepatutnya kita cari jalan supaya dapat dilaksanakan. Inilah sikap umat Islam. Saya pernah berdialog dengan
beberapa orang pensyarah universiti tentang isu Hudud & Qisas. Dia boleh sergah saya,"You apa tahu... Islampun baru setahun jagung....."

Saya sedih dengan sergahan pensyarah itu. Kalau ini sikap pendakwah saya tak akan masuk Islam. Tapi saya pilih Islam kerana saya tahu Apa itu Islam. kerana itu saya ajak menghayati Islam.

Saya kumpulkan semula kawan-kawan masa Kristian dulu. Saya berdialog tentang Islam. Saya kumpulkan derma untuk tujuan dakwah ini,untuk bergerak perlukan wang. Saya diancam oleh puak Kristian. saya juga diancam oleh umat Islam.

Apa tauliah awak,mana kebenaran Jabatan Agama,mana permit polis, sapa benarkan pungut derma dll. Saya tak gentar berdialog dengan puak Kristian,kerana saya ada pengalaman tapi sukarnya bila Umat Islam
sendiri menyulitkan saya.

Marilah kita awasi dakyah Kristian. Satu usaha yang agak ketara ialah di IPT. Pendakyah ini mendekati kaum muslimah,pura-pura nak belajar Islam....jatuh cinta...lalu dimurtadkan...ada yang pura-pura masuk Islam... dan dimurtadkan.

Saya sudah pergi banyak IPT. Saya paling bimbang di Universiti Putra Malaysia . Itulah satu-satunya Universiti yang ada gereja. Gereja ini antara yang aktif untuk memurtadkan orang Islam.

Saya nak nasihatkan kalau ada saudara kita terminum 'Holy Water'. Sebenarnya air ini dibuat di Vatican City. Dijampi oleh paderi termasuk Pope John Paul yang jemput Perdana Menteri kita dulu. Kalau terminum, cari air kolah dari 3 masjid. Baca Al-Fatihah 1x, Yasin 1x, 3 Qul 1x, dan selawat. Ambil sebahagian buat minum dan sebahagian buat mandi. InsyaAllah mereka akan sedar dan dapat diselamatkan. insyaAllah.

tolong fowardkan ... demi islam... demi agama yang tercinta...insyaallah...

Pak Syeikh- Moga Allah beri taufik wal hidayah pada umat Islam semua agar saling berganding bahu membendung ramai melayu Islam menjadi murtad. kalau di barat Pendakwah Islam disana berjaya menarik Cat Steven memeluk Islam, apakah usaha umat Islam di Malaysia. Biar banyak Gereja. Kalau mereka tahu akan kebenaran Islam lambat laun gereja tersebut akan kosong jugak macam dibarat banyak gereja yang kosong,.Alih2 ramai yang masuk Islam dan gereja tersebut bertukar menjadi masjid... amin.

Wallahua'alam...

Tazkirah hari ini.. SOLAT

2010-07-10T00:47:00.000+08:00

Alhamdulillah, ari nih dpat satu, dua peringatan dalam mcam2 occasion.. semuanya ada berkaitan dengan solat..

( i ) Khutbah JUMAAT oleh Si Khatib

Solat itu merupakan tugasan MEGA yang Allah tugaskan kite untuk laksanakan.. so, jangan sesekali lalai untuk menunaikan solat.. jgan ltak solat tuh no.2, no.3, ... contoh yg khatib beri: time tgah merewang2 utk sediakan mjlis kahwin, klau kte tnye kt orang yang tengah masak/kacau kuali, dh solat ke belum, rata2 belum.. katenye, sibuk nk memasak.. pastu, klau agak2 pkul 2 petang tuh, kte tnye tuan/puan rumah, dh solat ke blom, msti ade yg dpat jawapan blom, katenye.. sibuk nak sambut tetamu..

Haa, tgok tuh.. mmg r mjlis walimatul urus tuh satu ibadah, nak menyatukan dua insan secara sah.. tpi kite salah.. solat itu adalah yang paling utama.. apa salahnye, si suami pgi solat, si isteri layan tetamu.. selesai, si isteri pulak solat, suami layan tetamu.. bkannye lame, plg lame 7,8 minit...

( ii ) Al-KULIYYAH by Ustaz Ahmad Husni...

Kite sbnrnye boleh khusyuk dalam solat.. cume kte tiada azam, keyakinan terhadap solat tersebut.. tak fokus.. contoh: knape org2 yg nk kne gantung dalam penjara, dlam solat mereka yang terakhir atau dalam hari2 terakhir mereka dlam penjara, boley jek khusyuk.. ini kerana mereka tahu solat2 tersebut merupakan solat2 mereka yg terakhir.. so, kte kne jadik mcam mereka.. solatlah kite umpama solat itu solat kite yang terakhir.. mcam dlam ape yang si digariskan dalam post kerol nih..

Solat itu boleh mencegah kite daripada melakukan perbuatan2 keji dan mungkar.. perlu ade hadir hati serta hadir akal.. solat hanye untuk Allah.. akal pula kne bagus, supaya tujuan solat yang sebenar itu difahami dengan jelas.. barulah solat kite itu boley mencegah kite daripada mungkar..

Solat nih ade 3 bhagian dye: jasad, kepala n roh dye.. klau kite tidak menunaikan solat dengan sambil lewa, di akhirat kelak, solat tersebut akan dilemparkan kembali kepada kite.. ituh lah roh solat yang perlu kite jage..

Ade org puasa banyak, bace Quran xprnah tggal, tpi solat asyik tggal.. mcam mne tuh? ade sorg ulama mengatakan, Solat itu merupakan satu perjalanan yang kedua selepas iman, selepas syahadah.. so, macam mane kite nk teruskan perjalanan utk puasa, zakat, haji dan sebagainye klau perjalanan yang kedua kte lalai dalam melaksanakannya..

( iii ) Tazkirah MAGHRIB by Ustaz Rafizi..

Ade seorg ulama (lpe nme dye) yg xprnah tggal solat berjemaah.. tetapi, suatu hari si ulama ini tertinggal solat berjemaah dalam satu waktu.. selepas itu, sahabatnye datang ke rumah, lalu mengucapkan takziah, "innalillahi wainnaalillaihi raajiuun".. pelik?? itu yang kite manusia silap.. sebenarnye, ucapan tersebut diucapkan setiap kali kte ditimpa musibah, bkan hanye untuk kematian seseorang..

Guru kepada seorg sahabat pernah tertinggal solat isya secara berjemaah selama satu waktu kerana sibuk melayan tetamu.. dye pergi ke seluruh masjid di kawasan untuk mencari masjid2 yang masih belum solat isya'.. malangnye, semuanye telah selesai solat isya' berjemaah.. kesal kerana tertinggal solat berjemaah, si lelaki ini pulang ke rumah lalu menunaikan solat isya' sebanyak 27 kali, mengharapkan dye mendapat kelebihan 27 kali ganda kebaikan dengan solat berjemaah.. tetapi, pada malam itu, dye bermimpi.. dye sedang memacu kuda dengan bbrape org lain.. tetapi beliau sentiase ditinggalkan di belakang walau betapa gigih dye memacu kuda tersebut.. lalu org itu berkata, 27 kali solat isya' lelaki tersebut tidak akan dapat menandingi kelebihan solat berjemaah yang mereka telah lakukan..

RENUNG-RENUNGKAN lah.. Sama2 lah kite memperbaiki kualiti solat kite.. mudah-mudahan solat-solat kite diterima oleh Allah.. Wallahualam..

Berbudilah... tanpa mengira pangkat...

3rd Toy Story

2010-07-05T22:05:00.000+08:00

last week, ak tgok movie nih with a bunch of my high skool friends..

before watching, we all get very excited. Why not, the last two sequels had been very impressive.. so, this one should not be that bad.. but, after watching it, all the praise and hope for this movie kind of lost. I can rated it as 7/10, which is not too bad neither too good. It's just a so-so for me. I dont know, maybe it's just me. To say that i'm not really into cartoon, i really enjoy watching Monster vs Aliens last year. So, i think its the movie. It's more to drama, not really to comedy, as i thought it would. But, one of my friend, Amir Hazwan said that he nearly cried when watching Toy Story 3. Woww.. Impressive. Well, yes, it got some sad moment when the big Red Teddy was dumped by his owner, plus one or two scenes. So, when i think it over tonite, i think it might be the matureness of me.. haha.. seriously!! but, you cant argue.. one changes when one gets older.. well, thought i'm didnt enjoy the movie much, we still have a good time together.

p/s: fuhh.. brtambah gak entry blog ak nih.. dduk umah, xde kje.. tpi still mlas nk tles.. haha~

hmm.. last thursday... a number of CPU seniors batch 08/09 came to say hi to this will-be-flying juniors.. =) well, there are 7 of them.. but i only remember 2 names, Qayyum and Muhaimin.. so, i would like to say thanks to them for answering our bullets of questions.. but sadly only 3 Uni. representatives came.. (Toronto, McMaster and Dalhousie).. i am expecting the one from Alberta, but they will only arrive at Msia on July.. the thing is, i have to decide where to go the latest on 25 June.. Still, tq to Qayyum and co.

1,2,3,4,5,6

compare them using globecampus

2010-05-27T03:30:00.000+08:00

looking through the globecampus.ca/navigator, i found that comparing university in canada is easily accessed. why not? the navigator compare the university, which in my case of course UofT and UofA in all field

[e.g. size of class, tuition fees, student's satisfaction, quality of teaching, activities and other important scopes]

and as stated in this navigator, from my point of view.. UofA is the more or less at the same level with UofT.. In some scope such as class size, UofA is better.. and UofT is superior in campus atmosphere..

hmm.. the competition is pretty close between these two.. well, i still have time to choose i guess.. the final date is 25th June.. still a long time to go.. i better choose the best..

University choices..

2010-05-25T04:10:00.005+08:00

i always wonder what to choose between these two: Uni.of Toronto or Uni.of Alberta.. but tonite, i classified them to be nature-lover for UofA and city-life for UofT. Though it is not such a big deal, it is for me. Well, for that matters, i like green.. means i like nature, trees, animals, nature for short.. in the same time, i do like being in crowd, though for a short period of time only.. so, can i stand studying in the heart of Toronto happening city centre for 4 years straight OR should i follow my instinct to be within the calm mother nature of Alberta with the background of Rocky Mountain and go to downtown Edmonton if i needed entertainment?? well, i guess i needed another two or three or four or five days to decide.. so, excuse my procrastination and my indecisive act... =(

WRITE THE FUTURE

what i do when others present their ISU??

2010-05-22T03:53:00.001+08:00

for the last two days and the day after this, i, kamal n mueen n hizami(newbie) will do something disrespectful to the people presenting their ISU at ENG4U class.. what is it??

well, its a game named WORMS 2008.. installed in my Sony Ericson W810i phone last year.. so, as the first presenter starts presenting, we'll start playin the first round of this game.. usually kamal or mueen won.. but, today, out of nothing, i won it all!! haha..

the thing is, i felt a little bit shameful of myself for not listening to others.. but, as long as i get along with it, nodding a few times, i think its ok!! haha.. sorry to all, especially eddy for he was presenting today..

p/s: i've train a lot playin the game today.. so, next week, beware mueen, hizami n kamal!!

the brutality of Mr.G

2010-05-20T02:44:00.000+08:00

in case anyone of u didnt know who is Mr.G, he is my English for You (ENG4U).. n why i said he's brutal, erm.. not because he is muscular, well a little.. but the most scarying part is his evaluation.. how he marks your paper, essay, assignment, all that stuff.. to tell u, before this, i thought his evaluation as he said, was "fair".. maybe because i got fair marks from him..

but now, i realized what others have gone through.. getting very low marks.. to tell the truth.. for the first time, i got 1 mark in part of my ISU Essay Evaluation.. not one, but twice of 1 mark.. well, to blame me for prepared it late is not fair.. but, thanks to Mr.G, i got 75% for my course marks to bring to the final exam.. dats mean, i have to get around 90% at final exam to maintain my marks to be above 80.. n thanks to him too, i will be prepared for my presentation, if i have one after this.. but dats is all that is negative about him.. well, it supposed to be positive, he is trying to mark our paper with the uni. standard.. thats what he said..

other than that, he's the best at teaching.. full of facts, war-expert (seriously.. ask him anything about war, he'll make u feel u're very small [= )... and lastly... very strict!!! haha...

dats my marks there.. rite there.. 75% !!!

our beloved Mr.G... thanks for all ur advice.. =)

It's been weeks since i last update dis blog.. but today.. maybe i'll write a little.. a poem if u say

ibu... kalau kau kata aku ini budak baik... kau lagi baik,

tiap hari kau menjagaku tanpa lelah,

tidak langsung mengeluh,

kau terus, dan terus menjadi seorang ibu mithali...

ibu... jika kau kata aku budak pandai... kau lagi pandai,

masakanmu yang dimasak tanpa formula,

masamu diatur tanpa jadual,

semuanya dengan intuisi seorang ibu...

ibu, di hari yang bertuah ini,

aku merasa bersyukur... kerana di hari ini,

aku masih dapat bernafas... dan menjerit...

TERIMA KASIH IBU!!!

-original dariku, wahai Siti Mariam binti Othman-

procrastination is the best way for you to fail.. seriously.. mr.Gordon had been given us three weeks to complete the first draft of our ISU essay.. and in 24 hours time, it will be due.. but then, i've just finished 140 words, barely reached one page.. with the needed page to be done is 6.. so, yeah, i'm a procrastinator..

as a result, as said by Aizat Ishar, i'll be a "kelawaq" tonite..

and everytime when i've re-procrastinate.. hehe~
