Talaqqi?

Why I choose talaqqi?

بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

A : Kalu belajar kitab2 agama dgn guru2 ni mcm talaqqi ni, lmbt dan lapuk gaya tu. Cth bidang medic la, kalu nak cari info utk report ke, pbl ke, pakai Google ja terus keluar berderet2 maklumat nak tau.

B: Hmm, aku separuh setuju ttg cth ko bg pasal medic, tp ak x setuju pendapat ko ttg kitab2 agama.

1) Cuba ko bygkan dlm dunia kita ni penuh dgn anasir2 pelik, cthnya philosophy secularism, syiah, ajaran2 sesat, berita2 palsu, fitnah sana sini dan byk lg, rasa2 mana lg selamat kalu tanya Google yg siapa2 ja buleh tulis ttg apa2 dgn tanya dan belajar ilmu2 AGAMA dgn guru2 yg ambil ilmu satu persatu dr guru sebelumnya hingga berulang2 sampai ke Rasulullah sallallahu 'alai wassalam?

2) About medical stuff, even our doctors always remind us if we want to take any sources from the internet, make sure it's medical website that have been recommended. Not some random blogs or websites even wikipedia. One of our doctors said "Come on,you're a medical student, it's a big shame when u have bundle of medical resources that u can get from the library but u use wiki that's meant for lay people".

Majalah Q&A. One of the best magazine that explains about Islam.

A : Haha, terabuq ang speaking English naa. Jap, ak x paham ttg mksd ko "tanya Google yg siapa2 ja buleh tulis ttg apa2". cmne tu? About medical stuff, yeah, couldnt agree more than that. Asyik ak ja kalah cakap dgn ko.haha.

B: Ak bg ang analogi senang, cth, ang x tau cmna nak solat jama' la kan, pastu ang p cari sapa2 hat ang jumpa tepi jalan pastu ang tanya ttg solat jama'. Dia jawab "Rasa2nya lah kan, ak rasa lah x tau betul ke x, ko kene buat cmni n cmni." Pastu, ang ikut apa dia kata yg 'rasa2' tu. Ang rasa mcm oke ke x kalu lagu tu?

A: Uish, mane buleh bro. Nmpak sgt was2 tu.

B: Tu la mksd ak. Kata Imam Malik bin Anas ra : “Sesungguhnya ilmu ini merupakan agama. Maka, lihatlah dengan siapa kamu mengambil agama kamu. Sesungguhnya aku telah bertemu dengan 70 orang di Masjid Nabi ini, yang menyatakan telah berkata fulan bahawa Rasulullah salallahualaihiwassalam bersabda (menyampaikan hadis). Sesungguhnya jika salah seorang daripada mereka itu diamanahkan untuk menjaga Baitulmal, nescaya dia ialah orang yang amanah, namun aku tidak mengambil sesuatu pun (hadith) daripada mereka kerana mereka bukanlah ahli dalam bidang ini (hadith). Tetapi apabila datang kepada kami Muhammad bin Muslim bin Syihab Az-Zuhri walaupun dia masih muda maka kami bersesak-sesak ke pintu rumahnya (untuk belajar hadith) !"

B: Uish, tapi payah la kalu nak tanya apa2 kemusykilan bro. Ak duk hadap buku medic tu x habis2. X sempat nak tanya Ustaz. Ak sokmo tanya Ustaz Azhar Idrus ikut FB ja. Ala yg Koleksi Printscreen Soal Jawab Ustaz Azhar Idrus ( Original ) 2.

Al Fadhil Ustaz Azhar Idrus. I believe u know him, right?

A: Kalu ang nak tanya menda2 ang dah tau sejak kecik tp x pasti, buleh la tanya Ustaz2 yg dah blajaq dr guru2 yg bersanad ni. Buleh ja ang nak tanya thru Fb or sms, asalkan org yg ang tanya tu, org yg dipercayai ada ilmu, jgn duk search ja cari jawapan dr ntah sapa2 ntah. Tp, kalu ang nak blaja satu ilmu agama utk amal dan sebagainya, lebih baik ang blaja dgn org yg betul2 ilmunya dr guru yg benar. Ala, mcm medical student nak blaja cmne nak bedah jantung, nak buat colonoscopy etc, mesti belajar dr doktor yg dah belajar dr doktor2 sebelumnya, xkan ang nak blaja dgn abg jaga mayat kat museum tu.Haha.

B: Hmm, makes sense gak ape ko kate. Tp kan, kalau ak baca ja buku2 yg sebijik same mmg copy paste abis mcm buku2 yg guru2 talaqqi ajar x buleh ka? Xdak masa nak p talaqqi ni.

A: Kalu mcm tu,start esok kita x yah p lecture Prof Nasa dan Prof Naznin lah.

B: Uish, apa kaitan tiba2 nak ponteng kelas Prof Nasa, bro? Gile ape.

Prof. Dr. Hj. Nasuruddin B.Hj. Abdullah. Our lecturer. Immunologist expert. (Kanan skali dlm gambar)

A: Ala, kita kan ada buku Mama Robbin dan buku photostat slide Prof Nasa 2. Kita baca ja sampai habis, pastu, kite p masuk exam hall dan score dpt distinction. Amacam?

B: Haha, lawaknye lawak ang. Ak tau la ang GENIUS LEGEND tp mane buleh nak baca buku ja pastu nak score distinction plak tu. Lagipun, dlm buku Robbin tu, ntah ape2 ak pon x paham. Buku slide Prof Nasa tu pon, ada campur2 gambar pelik2. Ak nak dgr lecture Prof Nasa, br paham. Siap ada selingan lawak jenaka lg.

A: Oit2, ak barely passed je kot Block 1. Ang xyah nak kerap perli ak naa. Tu la mksd ak, cube ko bayangkan blaja AGAMA gune buku ja, kompem2 la x paham, kalu paham pon, lebih byk salah paham dr betul pahamnya.
Kalu blaja gune buku ja, baek ak kuar UIA, bace buku kat rumah, pastu, kuar2 g bedah org. Oke x?

B: Haha, ang x payah nak jadi John Jigsaw sgt la kan. ye2, ak paham. tp, lambat la blaja kitab ikut talaqqi ni. lgpun, talaqqi sekali seminggu ja, tu pun smpat pergi.

A: Perkara penting ang kena paham, kita bukan nak bertalaqqi sbb nak blaja beratus2 kitab yg ada dan  jadi ahli hadits ka, ahli fiqah ka. Kita dtg sini nak jadi doktor, so, kompem2 kena utamakan blaja medic yg lecture dr pukul 7 pg sampai 4 ptg 5 hari seminggu nuh. Tp, p talaqqi tiap2 minggu cth talaqqi Ustaz Mustaffa Kamal kat CF Bro tu, sekurang2nya kita ni dpt peringatan setelah asyik leka dgn dunia, dpt dgr mutiara2 ilmu dan dekatkan diri dgn ulama', belajar adab dan akhlak yg mulia. Kita belajaq sikit2 ja, biaq lmbt. Yg penting usaha kita yg Allah tgk, bukan end of the result. Tp, kalu ang buleh jd macam Syeikh Dr Yusri Rushdi al Hasani. That's the best. Tafaddol.

B: Sapa Syeikh Dr Yusri Rushdi tu?

Syeikh Dr Yusri Rushdi al Hasani. credit to Bunyamin

A: Dia Head of Surgey kat Cairo. Kira doktor la. Surgery Specialist. Tp, dia ajar gak Hadith kat al Azhar, cth kitab2 dia ajar, Sahih al-Bukhari, Sunan Abi Dawud, al-Muwatto',Syamail Muhammadiah,Hikam ibnu 'Ato'illah,Hasyiah Baijuri etc.

B: Tu mmg hebat betol tu, ambe distinction pon x lepaih.haha. Trimas naa, pandangan ak sedikit sebanyak berubah ttg talaqqi ni. Betul2, buleh doh ak mai talaqqi next week. Kat mana ang cakap td, CF Bro? Tp, segan la sume duk pakai serban jubah blaka. Ak pakai suar jeans ja kot.

A : Haah, CF Bro. Ustaz Mustaffal Kamal. Kalu ang nak p, sudi2kan lah tumpang ak dgn keta BMW ang, ak xdak transport. haha. Alah, x yah nak segan lah. Dorg sama ja mcm kita. Nak belajaq. Diorang sume tu cuma nak amalkan sunnah Nabi sbb cinta mereka pada Nabi sallallahu 'alai wassalam. Kita pakai tutup aurat pon oke. xdak la Ustaz nak halau tiba2. haha. btw, hari ni Jumaat, bro. Kerap2 la selawat ke atas Rasulullah Muhammad sallallahu 'alai wassalam. Bukan payah pon, guna mulut ja.

B : Kerap perli Kancil ak. haha. buleh2. Incha Allah.


So, what's 'Talaqqi'? 

"Talaqi bermaksud perjumpaan atau pertemuan, Tetapi dalam hal ini talaqi bermaksud pengajian ilmu Islam yang disampaikan secara dari guru kepada anak murid secara berdepan dan bil musyafahah (dari mulut ke mulut). Pengajian talaqi ini merupakan satu juzuk dari sunnah Rasulullah apabila Rasulullah menerima wahyu dari Jibril, dan menghafal wahyu tersebut terus dari Jibril. Dalam sesetengah riwayat menyebut Jibril mengarahkan nabi agar tidak tergopoh-gapah dalam menghafaz wahyu. Kaedah pengajian sebegini diteruskan sehingga ke hari ini kerana peraliran ilmu dan pencerahan kitab ulama' yang muktabar disampaikan secara bersanad (dari guru ke guru) sekaligus memelihara keaslian ilmu dan makna penulis kitab tersebut."

Syeikh Usamah Sayyid Mahmud Al-Azhari.One of the very young ulama' Al Azhar. Student of Syeikh Dr Ali Jumah, Mufti Mesir.

*ak- aku
* distinction - 80% and above for medical students. Isnt easy to get this. Medical school is the school that transform many of top students all over world to become a "I just want to pass the exam" student except some extraordinary students. #truestory.

Early Marriage. WHY?

Couple Totally Halal After Nikah by Syabab Musafir Kasih

بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Salam and Happy Sunday!

WARNING : This post is intentionally for anyone who supports or wants to get married at young age especially IIUM students.Yes. Early Marriage.

Take note : Most of the IIUM students don't come from Islamic background. For them, coupling before married is a natural thing and they didn't know coupling before nikah is forbidden in Islam before admitting into IIUM.

After they admit into IIUM, they are exposed with the idea that coupling before nikah is forbidden and generally, they understand and know why it's forbidden. Then, they will replace coupling idea with the better idea that is allowed in Islam. Yess, it's a marriage or specifically early marriage.

Basically, they understand that early marriage provides many advantanges in spiritual, social, religious, academically aspects etc. In Islam, there are many hadith (Prophet's sayings) that highlight its advantage and it's recommended in Islam to get married. I don't want to point all those advantages out because I assume many of us know or heard about it. Maybe you can refer in ILuvIslam.com if you don't know.Don't get wrong idea, I fully support this early marriage idea.

Have you ever heard or meet the early young married couple have many problems after getting married for example, their academic performance is getting worse, social and financial problems or worst case scenario, they get divorced?

The main point is before getting married, some of them put the marriage solely as MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THEIR LIFE! I mean as an ABSOLUTE OBJECTIVE! Maybe, many of us didn't realize this because we are consumed with early marriage advantages plus the natural desire to have someone special to live together. (Both of these is not the bad thing, dont get me wrong). Subconciously, they put this as ABSOLUTE objective of their life. Yet, for me, this idea is completely WRONG. The ABSOLUTE OBJECTIVE in Islam is for HEREAFTER. For Allah s.w t.



Marriage is just one of the complementary thing to strengthen our effort and way to achieve true absolute objective.

The person that puts marriage as an absolute objective is analogically like a sprinter that MUST run 400 metres on track to get to the FINISH LINE but he puts the target at 100 metres only. He will run as fast as he can until 100 metres. Then, after 100 metres, he will burn out and assume he already win and race is end. Maybe he will stop and take a nap at 100 metres line while other sprinters run untill the true finish line.The truth is, he must make it to Finish Line that's 300 metres away to go. He's a loser. Geddit?





I guess the main point is I want to make sure you need to know why you want to do something. Even, you want to get married after graduating or while working, without realizing the true objective in marriage or prioritize what is more important, you will face many problems too.

I just want to point this out to make it clear my friend, MARRIAGE is a part of process in our life not true objective! That's all!

p/s: Tomorrow is Minitest. Please pray for me :))  

Age and Maturity.

بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Salam and should I say 'Hi' too? Long time no see eh?

Alhamdulillah, today is the day of NINTEEN YEARS I live in this complicated and interesting world. There's a lil bit confusion about my real birthday bcoz in FB, I put my bday on 28th October but,the real one is 29th October. Only some of my friends remember it well ! Yeah, it's today.haha. Nevermind, who cares and I don't care.. The difference is only ONE day.

Typical way to start the post with a question: Have you ever heard the older the people, more matured they are?

Ya, I know. Many people stick to this one "Old people is mature people". I agree old people have more experience than younger one but when it comes to maturity, I guess it's not suitable to say that.

Maturity is not about you have more experience than others. It's not about you know better than others. Maturity is all about how to deal with complicated knowledge and experience that you get in your life and come out with simple and thoughtful opinion that will change part of the world like politics or worldview.

Some old people have vast of experience in certain field but reject everything that is voiced out by young generation is considered as immature.

Mature people always hear other peoples' opinion first. They will not accept or reject others' opinion blindly. They will hear everthing and when it comes to discussion, they will point out the objective of the discussion clearly before start it. They will find the similarities between their opinion and opinion of another side instead of come to find the differences. They tend to reelevate their some parts of their opinion if others' opinion make sense in certain aspect.When it comes to end of discussion, they will accept the differences between their opinion and appreciate it like " Okay, this is my opinion and that's yours".

Reject other opinion and think "I'm always right!" is immature and lead to stupidity.

Every time I go back to my village, I always pretend to be an older people than my real age, for sure I did not tell my age. If I don't reveal it when discussing with older people, they tend, at least hear my opinion or accept it.

If you introduce yourself, " I'm nineTEEN-year-old and still study bla bla bla...", subconciusly, they will take your opinion lightly even though, it's clear your opinion is reasonable.

In FB, I intentionally hide my age and sometimes, older people tend to add me and discuss about many current issues without knowing my real age. For example, about BERSIH, HIMPUN, philosophy, politics, health issues, current world news etc. Maybe, my opinion sounds stupid or simple for them but at least you will hear their mature opinion and you can learn something.

Age doesn't represent maturity. So, don't be an arrogant people. When you feel you're smarter than others, you're considered as a STUPID person.

Then, always hear other opinion first even though it comes from a kid.You will find a diamond of knowledge.

ps: Pardon me if my english is horrible and have many grammatical mistakes. It's about..let see. 1,2,3 4 hmmm... 5 months I didn't blog at all or write something in English. :'D

Terang.

Even in the dark hole, there must have light.



If someone out there have depression right now, I recommend you to read 'How To Turn Life's Lemon into Lemonade, Healthy Thinking' by Dr. Tom Mulholland. His book helped me out from the dark pit hole depression lil bit before :)

Kaab bin Malik.

This picture was taken from the teater "Menunggu Kata Dari Tuhan" at UIAM. This teater is all about Kaab bin Malik a.s, the Companion of the Prophet (acted by Sabri Yunus) waiting for the repentance from God because he didn't go to War of Tabuk without any reason.

This is the story that I read when I was Form 3 at Surau Sekolah. For me, it is the longest hadith in the Story of the Prophet's Companion Book.

Please, I recommend you to read his story how hard he want to get repentance from God. Serius menangis terharu time first time bace dulu.

War & Revolution.

Hail Rome Victorious

War...

Maybe, 'war' is a big word. I'm talking about fighting or ..hmmm.. maybe, the suitable word is war.

It easy to spark something using stick-and-stone method, aggressive method to oppress or annihilate another side that you hate.

It is simple just like this.Follow these steps.

1. You meet someone that is based on your first impression, he will harm you, or not suitable to hang out with and then, he did something for example, always back bitting someone, or bragging bout himself being a brilliant teacher pet kid. I mean anything that you don't like or you hate. Anything that seems to you is NOT YOUR TYPE.

(rebellious man not comfortable with religious one, or "I-am-a-nice-person" so called person avoid someone that seems "you're-can't-be-better-than-me".) get it?

2.You avoid to talk or you talk with him for desperately important cause only (for sure, your interest only).

3.You just see anything bad about him. Negative.Dark side.He's no better than me.

4. When you feel insecure like he will take over your interest, maybe your best friend, your reputation or anything.

5. Start to spread bad news about him.( one of the 'war' methods).

6. In your mind, "I want to annihilate him, he must die or can't even lift his finger, rotting in the hell created by me" (expression meh)

Easy,right.? Many of us, when we meet someone that for us, "not-suitable-for-me", maybe not suitable as a friend,or a classmate or whatever role you want.

 We will hurt him physically or emotionally.(macam budak2 time skolah kutuk cikgu yg dorang benci or reject bdak2 yg korang anggap PELIK.huhu. ) This concept applies in bully concept and also in bigger world.That is war.

Just like Bush sparked the war with Iraq for AN unreasonable reason (without any clear proof) that Iraq has nuclear weapon. End of war.No such thing "nuclear weapon".WTFish?

Just like the Romanian attacked other kingdoms to show they are powerful, strongest man and conquer the world (at the end. they're not)

Just like the Egyptian government oppressed and banned the organisation that opposed them like Muslim Brotherhood for a "terrorism and extremism" reason.

Simple question. After we annihilate (literally or figuratively) the other side that we hate. After that...WHAT?

They will always follow your order just like a slave?

They will never fight back?

They will smile always and accept anything happen to them?

Answer : ABSOLUTELY NO.!

They will fight back. If all their race or organisation already being completely annihilated by you, their successor,their son, their children will fight back.

Even, after 30 or 50 or hundred years, they will fight for their right, their belief, not like a puppet.

Because, they are HUMAN.They have HOPE and BELIEF.

And if another side does similar thing when they win?. They oppress the lost side or pay for revenge.?

The cycle will keep recycle.

War is an interesting bloody addictive game without a clear FINISH LINE.

The important thing to stop this cycle is we MUST UNDERSTAND each other.

Guess what?Human always restrict themselves to do THIS SIMPLE SINGLE STEP because they think, this step is complicated one to accomplish. Mental Block.

ps: Got the idea after playing "Rome: Total War". It is quite cool and addictive. Yeah, I as the Rome attack other kingdoms to conquer the world but in long term, that is IMPOSSIBLE because other side will fight back for sure.and sorry for my English. lame x blog weh.haha.

pps (Egypt Revolution): Hasta la vista Hosni Mubarak. The People don't want YOU as their leader after what you and your government have done for 30 years. Resign! 

Egypt is seething !

Malaysia vs Indonesia (not football )

I've been watching a video of Malaysia vs Indonesia football match of AFF Suzuki Cup 2010 (not final) at GBK,Indonesia lately. There's a scene of when Malaysia national anthem-Negaraku being 'boo'-ed when the anthem been played, by SOME Indonesian fans (if Malaysian fan did that too, that wouldn't be nice.:p).

What I'm trying to focus is WHAT'S GOING ON?. Not to condemn those Indonesian fans.

SOME Indonesian always curse Malaysia like 'Maling-Sial' (Theft=Maling,). They said Malaysian stole too many thing like their culture, their island and etc. Come on, we're in the same Titanic II ship but in the different cabin. (Malay in Malaysia and Indonesia have same ancestor,forefather). Are you trying to say, we also kidnapped Parameswara,his father and grandfather from Indonesia to build a new government?.Logically, both of us would have similar culture.Serumpun.!

SOME Malaysian would say something "Ditch that, Indonesian in Malaysia just a maid or construction worker.Ungrateful people. We give you a job."...Wait!. ohoho..WHO ARE YOU to say something like that. Are you the one that give ALL Indonesian those jobs?.Come on. They indirectly built our beloved country. Most of workers that built KLCC, Sepang Circuit and other thing are Indonesian.( I say 'Most' because there were some Malaysians worked there like my uncle).So.we're merely a human.Weak Human.

Just for a break.Almost every day, there are some cats always leave behind its poop a.k.a 'cat perfume' in our hostel and every time, i want to go to bathroom or other places, my brain keep thinking "curse-u-cat!-even though-u're-so-cute". Next day, those poops gone.Thank God!. Personally, I thank those Indonesian worker that clean and throw those poops. The student want to clean that thing by ourselves?..pfffttt..maybe, there's slightly chance,they will clean it.Maybe.

Thats why, I hate to attach on racism, but would prefer to attach on my religion,Islam.No boundaries. All human is same.

If this thing still happens to some extent, can you imagine Titanic II crush an 'iceberg' and all of us suffer and die. Please.Just stop. purghh..I'm sick of it.Please be matured.Even my 3-years-old lil brother can think about this straight :P

Peace no war.:]

Love Malaysia and Indonesia.Haha.

ps: I wonder who is responsible to ignite this hate among us.

*terpikir tentang ni sebelum tido.terpaksa bukak laptop balek.Post sebelum idea hilang.*

*read this article wrote by our Indonesian friend.Great rite?*


OLDER POST-GOALS REVIEW MAS VS INDO FINAL AFF SUZUKI CUP

Ole Ole Malaysia.

I know there will have another match for this Final AFF Suzuki Cup.I know.I know, and many of us said "please dont be TOO happy, this is just a first leg", but this is all about 'is the glass half full or half empty" thing. If u're a glass-half-full person, u will think this positively. come on, enjoy this moment for a while. :]

Btw, Good Luck Malaysia for 2nd leg.

Hometown?

"Where is your hometown?"

"Where do u live, ur origin?

"are u kelantanese?, I wonder"

"u're a Sarawakian?"

"where are u from?'

The question that some strangers (cikgu ke, bdak2 baru kenal ke) always asked me when we start to know each other.

Reaction : Confused face.

"Pardon me, did u ask me whether ,where i live or where i born?"

I can answer that question with many answers.Sabah? Sarawak? Kelantan? Terengganu? Pahang? 

Funny things, if they ask me,"which district?".ohoho. sorry, too many answers to choose, mate!

Sabah and Sarawak.

- I spent my most childhood time in Sabah n Sarawak.Live in a bungalow (sewa je) with other families. That house have many scorpions like we have many pet cats around our typical house (Uia, kat UKC byk gle).

-Sabah, lived at an island known as Pulau Penyu (sounds like Pulau Penyu, i guess.kinda.). Always ate turtle egg.haha.

Kelantan.

- Stayed at my village.There are two moments I remember most. First, I spared with another boy, kampung boy.Well I lost after he used fighting technique like a Thai Boxer. Come on. that's not bad after all for me as an Island Boy. Island boy vs Kampung boy. perghh epic.!

- next day, when we played "Police Entry" or known as "Buaya Duduk", me, that didnt know much bout its rule, used "lastik" to shoot one of these boys and he cried. urgh,come on,I thought he's a tough guy. U're kampung boy, rite?..after that day, i  never play that game again with them.hoho.

Pahang.

-Pahang is the biggest state in Peninsular Malaysia, so, there were many districts I lived, one of them is Kuantan. First day I enrolled in that school, I spoke Kelantan dialect with teachers and friends. "Mung nok g mano pahni?..g make jom?" or "Ni negri Pehe dop?" and they will have this 'this-boy-is-from-another-planet?-or-he's-an-alien?' face.haha. after few months, i could speak Kuantan dialect.( every district in Pahang have different dialect eventhough there are in the same state).

Terengganu.

-I just stayed in this state for just 6 months bcoz my dad had a problem with his co-workers, i guess.huhu. then, my house now in Kuala Lipis.

In wiki, there is a term for this type of children.

A third-culture kid (TCK / 3CK) or trans-culture kid is "someone who, as a child, has spent a significant period of time in one or more culture(s) other than his or her own, thus integrating elements of those cultures and their own birth culture, into a third culture."^[1] TCKs tend to have more in common with one another, regardless of nationality, than they do with non-TCKs from their own country.

Now, i have a problem to communicate with my family, even though we're TCK. we have different culture bcoz, my bro tend to speak using Lipis dialect like "‎0k jew law nak blanje..." or

"kowUnk TngOk r cndri Lagu nie...ApiT nIe sbeNanyer memBer kpd meMber Akak Ak...".wtfish.!

My sis tend to speak standard dialect or KL dialect.sometimes Kelantan dialect.

Ironically, I can easily squeeze in any state-based group. When I join conversation of Kelantan group, I tend to speak Kelantan and same apply on another group. Sounds i have many friends rite? 

The truth is they are just an acquaintance, not a close friend. I guess I just have 3 or 4 close friends.huhu.

It seems the acquaintance also bring great help in certain situation just like Malcolm Gladwell said-

"People weren't getting their jobs through their friends. They were getting them through their acquaintances. 

Why is this? Granovetter argues that it is because when it comes to finding out about new jobs -- or, for that matter, new information, or new ideas -- "weak ties" are always more important than strong ties. 

Your friends, after all, occupy the same world that you do. They might work with you, or live near you, and go to the same same churches, schools, or parties. How much, then, would they know that you wouldn't know? 

Your acquaintances, on the other hand, by definition occupy a very different world than you. They are much more likely to know something that you don't. To capture this apparent paradox, Granovetter coined a marvelous phrase: the strength of weak ties.

 Acquaintances, in short, represent a source of social power, and the more acquaintances you have the more powerful you are."

TCK sounds cool rite?.oh, now, i'm an Adult Third Culture Kids (ATCK).haha

*If I born in Kelantan, it means I'm a Kelantanese?*

This song is all about one man that didnt have any food left except moldy bread.( Budjav Lebac).

It happens in certain countries. This is sad song n .....funny. :,)

how about ' HI ' ?

Have you ever find someone that can live by himself?..i mean like Mr. Lonely or worst than that..?

Seriously, i admit that, it's not possible to find a true-friend-until-you-die friend IF you take account to many impossible characteristics to become your friend like charismatic, stylo, macho, can make a good joke, rich and etc. Hey, wake up!..Nobody is PERFECT,rite?

When I set my mind that my friends are not perfect and put our difference aside,  it's too easy to find anyone as a friend. Maybe, you just don't know how to make a friend (not because you're an arrogant ) because he/she have too many differences between you.

My Abah told me, "Tegor je sume org, Dato' ke, pengemis ke, sume darah warna merah..manusia juga".( "Just friendly talk with anybody, a Leader or beggar, all of them is human with red blood too like us" )

so, how about just say ' Hi..! ' if you encounter them or maybe just smile, if you don't have enough courage to say 'Hi..' (too shy person only.)

If you are a Muslim, spread the Salaam...Assalamualaikum..hoho

Do this and expect some difference in your life. =)

Oh baby we can fight like dogs we can fight like cats
a dirty laundry needs a laundry man
maybe the king and the queen should lay off the caffeine
baby breathe before you react

sometimes we do forget to behave
and we regret what we say
cause words are too weapons
if we don't choose'em carefully
ladies and gentlemen this is instrumental
if life's to be a bed of roses

i know i gave you everything you like
because you still give me butterflies

if we just try try try
just to be ni-ni-nice
then the world would be a better place for you and I
if we just live our lives
putting our differences aside
oh that would be so beautiful to me

Are we just dangling in the middle of a galaxy
Well i'm stoked on gravity
To be stuck with you like flowers on the dew drops
Now let it in my direction
My direction is up when everybody's down
cause i don't mind being anybody's clown
I love a little lift cause i'm an optimistic
In an altruistic way

Cause basically this place is needing instruments of harmony
Spreading my philosophy of love and inspiration
Oh these words I speak I commit to like a crime
with a rhythm i deliver i'm giving them a picture
of the reasons why

We should just try try try
Just to be ni-ni-nice
So the world could be a better place for you and I
If we just live our lives
Putting our differences aside
Oh that would be so beautiful to me

well it wouldn't cost a penny but could save so many lonely lives
from teary eyes
if we just try try try
to open up a can of understanding open up your heart
i'm just planting seeds
cause i believe

We could just try try try
Just to be ni-ni-nice
So the world would be a better place for you and I
If we just live our lives
Putting our differences aside
Oh that would be so beautiful to me

if we could try, just to be nice

my pets..=)

Elder brother...

Oh..I'm the eldest brother in my family..and I think it's been awhile I didnt give any advice or some sort..you know..brother's job.

and Mid Sem Break, Ibu asked me to send my sis to Kuala Lipis by bus because there is something important that she must attend.

Seriously, when we are talking each other, she is like a stranger, I didn't know her problems, her friends, her concern like I cant read her mind (everyone cannot read people's mind..i mean Literally cannot).*All my siblings studying at the hostel school*
When she started discuss about her problems, like 'why this is happening to her'.. about many problems.

I said " How about I tell you the story of the Japanese fishermen ( I read it in Life is an Open Secret ) ? Then, you reminisce whether your problem is REAL problem or it's just some kind of..."

*speak in Kelantanese dialect*

The Japanese have always love fresh food. Fresh crabs, fresh prawns, fresh fish, fresh sushi, and anything fresh, but the waters close to Japan have not held many fish for decades.So, to feed these Japanese people, fishing boats become bigger.

The farther the fishermen went, the longer it took to bring in the fish. PROBLEM?..yeah..there is a problem here.The trip took more than a few days and the fish would not be fresh.Like I said, the Japanese only love fresh food, and hate the taste of not-so-fresh fish.

Problem?..So, they need solution here.They install freezers in their boats and they will freeze the fish while catching the fish at sea.Freezers allowed them to go farther and stayed longer.

Maybe the Japanese is too picky, they could taste the differences between fresh and frozen, and they did not like the taste of frozen fish.The frozen fish being sold at lower price.

"Any idea to solve this problem?."asked me.

This time, they installed fish tanks.The idea was this- they would catch the fish and stuff them in the tanks-ALIVE. After little trashing around,the fish would stop moving.They were tired and dull, but they were still alive right?

How about this idea?..Nah, FAILED!. The Japanese could still taste the difference. Since the fish did not move for days, they had lost their oh-too-fresh-fish taste ( Picky2 Japanese,huh ! ).They preferred the taste of lively fish, not sluggish fish. "We want lively fish...!, We want fish..!, We want want fresh fish...!"

That is when they had their brilliant idea. Not sluggish fish, not frozen fish.

They came out with new idea. To keep the fish tasting fresh all the time,the Japanese fishermen still put live fish into the tanks, but, now, they add a small shark to each tank..! The shark eats a few fish, but most of the fish arrive in a very lively state, because they now have to swim actively to avoid being eaten by the shark (eventhough , they will being eaten by that Picky Japanese). The fish are challenged.

My sis asked, "So, do you want to tell me we must always use many solution to solve our problem?.."

Me " Kind of, but there is something more important than that."

...........

Me "The adversities, the problem that we face in our lives are actually our little sharks- sharks that we need to make sure we stay awake,alive, vibrant and active (so, we can be eaten by that picky Japanese because we're fresh fish.hoho ).These sharks will make us more competent, intellegent, matured, and persistent in our lives.

How about we begin to slack off in our duties (maybe sometime,I did that), growing tired?...

Yup,we will be eaten! (not literally)

My sis "Yeah, great!.That's how our life works"

...........................................................................................................................................

I have my little sharks that always wandering around me to eat me.

 His name is Hitam (not little one). He always keep me busy to handle many activities at UIA.

He is a tough one and not my pet. Still cannot tame him.What the FISH!

This is a cute one. Everyday I meet her everywhere. Always bite me but, I can handle her.

Make me always keep studying. Name? "ExamO". Now, his big bro want to eat me a.k.a MUET.hehe

 This is Baby Papadomabuchi. Juz weird lil fish that make keep me asking too many 

weird question about life,religion, politics, society and yadaa yadaa. (That's me in that pic..hoho)

P/s: How about your SHARKS, my frens?

am I dreaming?

Everyday was plain and boring day for me,I started my day wake up to perform subuh prayer and go to the class, and ended up with finishing my assignments or blogging. Nothing interesting,right?

But,i'm always believe that will be a turning point in our life either that change our personality or our skills.

That day, one of *MEDCY committee member, Fahmi, asked me "Bro,you want to become a committee? because i want to fill in nomination form to nominate u",

"Dont kidding me bro,haha,are you sure? Up to you bro, that's ur rights to nominate anyone.".

I didnt care about all those nomination things because i'm sure that i will be not selected as a committee, i didnt have any intention to become a committee in my life !

FYI,MEDCY make an event known as *AGM to select new committees and using new system, all 1st and 2nd years must fill in nomination form a week before AGM to become a committee either your friend nominates you or you nominate yourselves.

That day, nominee must deliver a speech in 1 minute without any preparation as a manifesto in front of hundreds of students.

I keep asking myself,"Sahel, are u sure u want to become a committee? This is all about responsibility.are u sure? are u sure?"

SPEECH , that is something I never did once in my life and that night, President of MEDCY said to nominees,"All of you must deliver a speech"...

haha,that's a joke right?.I never deliver a speech and now, I must deliver without any preparation,OK, I'm done! but my principle is if u start something, u must finish it all. Futhermore, I want to try something DIFFERENT.hoho

Alhamdulillah, that night, i have my great teacher that always by my side and never let me down.He always teaches me something new .i still remembered that, once i joined PLKN,and i must recite a poem in PLKN Culture Night in front of hundreds of people. He teached me how to do it, in front of me when i recite that poem. weird rite?haha

there are some tips to deliver a speech teached by Sir EXP(for BEGINNEERS only,hoho)

1. Never make an eye contact with audience if you deliver a speech without any preparation.

2.Always match your body language and how you look.(thanx, Fikri and Luqman for your suggestion what i must wear)

3.Never say to audience that u're not ready.

4. Use simple word and easy to understand, for example, if not all of audience can understand English, just speak in Malay because we just want to make them understand what we talking about.

5.Lower your pitch. A low tone of voice is considered authoritative than a high-pitched voice,which is associted with fear and anger.

6. Never state your achievements in school or university.That's not gonna help u because there are hundred of students out there that have higher achievement than yours. They just want to vote a LEADER.

6.Vary the speed. Speaking fast creates a mood of anticipation and energises audience. Speaking slowly and calmly creates trust.

7.Well-placed pause for effect. Pause when you stop at important point. Audience will eagerly await what you want to say next.

8.Leave a simple but impactful conclusion or question to interact with audience, e.g."Never judge a book by its cover"

Alhamdulillah,i won that committee post.*pinch,am i still dreaming?
btw, i want to thank my great teacher,Sir EXP,that help me to deliver a speech smoothly and i hope i can be a good and responsible committee.Insha Allah..

 *new line up of committee.

P/s: thanx to all of AGM committee members.AGM was awesome!

*MEDCY- Society Club for Medic,Dentist,Pharmacy,Allied Health Sciences and Nursing student.
*AGM-Annual General Meeting, an event attended by all MEDCY students that have a main purpose to vote and select new committees for MEDCY.

Millions of World

NEW YORK - resident Kathy Evans brought humiliation to her friends and family when she set a new standard for stupidity with her appearance on the popular TV show, 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.'

Evans, a 32-year-old wife and mother of two, got stuck on the first question and proceeded to make what fans of the show are dubbing 'the absolute worst use of lifelines ever.' After being introduced to the show's host Meredith Vieira, Evans was posed with a typically easy initial $100 question.

The question was: 'Which of the following is the largest?'

A) A Peanut
B) An Elephant
C) The Moon
D) Hey, who you calling large?

Immediately Mrs. Evans was struck with an all consuming panic as she did not readily know the answer. 'Hmm, oh boy, that's a toughie,' said Evans, as Vieira did her level best to hide her disbelief. 'I mean, I'm sure I've heard of some of these things before, but I have no idea how large they would be.'

Evans made the decision to use the first of her three lifelines, the 50/50. Answers A and D were removed, leaving her to decide which was bigger, an elephant or the moon. However, faced with an incredibly easy question, Evans still remained unsure.

'Oh! It removed the two I was leaning towards!' exclaimed Evans... 'Darn. I think I better phone a friend.' Mrs.. Evans asked to be connected with her friend Betsy, who is an office assistant...

'Hi Betsy! How are you? This is Kathy! I'm on TV!' said Evans, wasting the first seven seconds of her call. 'Ok, I got an important question. Which of the following is the largest? B, an elephant, or C, the moon. 15 seconds hun.'

Betsy quickly replied that the answer was C, the moon. Evans proceeded to argue with her friend for the remaining ten seconds. 'Betsy, are you sure?' said Evans. 'How sure are you? Duh, that can't be it.'

To everyone's astonishment, the moronic Evans declined to take her friend's advice. 'I just don't know if I can trust Betsy. She's not all that bright.
So I think I'd like to ask the audience,' said Evans.

Asked to vote on the correct answer, the audience returned 98% in favor of answer C, 'The Moon.' Having used up all her lifelines, Evans then made the dumbest choice of her life..

'Wow, seems like everybody is against what I'm thinking,' said the too-stupid-to-live Evans. 'But you know, sometimes you just got to go with your gut... So, let's see... I'm going to have to go with B, an elephant... Final answer.'

Evans sat before the dumbfounded audience, the only one waiting with bated breath - and was told that she was wrong, and that the answer was in fact, C, 'The Moon.'

p/s: i'm not trying to humiliate her, but, that's what happened when you live in your own world, you think u're clever enough to live in this world. Even, the genius, Albert Enstein can become a dumb person, if he think he is clever person.

In fact, everyone is stupid but, we are clever in different field, like a taxi driver knows many things about taxi than a doctor and a doc knows many things about medicine than a taxi driver.So, never compare yourselves with other people and think you're more clever or you're more dumb.

Dont live in your own world but, we must travel in millions of world.

Break the siege..!

salam and heya..!

it's been awhile i didnt post any post for this week.okey, i dont want to post about 'Iron man 2' or ' Rossa Concert'

I just want to post about my family,my brothers, my sisters in Gaza.=(
Poster above is about event to help Gazans that always in poor condition. There is some info about this campaign and also siege that make Palestine like a cage.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lifeline 4 Gaza is a collaborative effort between Malaysian NGOs to join an international campaign to break years of Israel siege on Gaza. They are working along with Free Gaza Movement who is based in Cyprus, IHH in Turkey, MERC and Kispa Indonesia, and other NGOs from USA, Greece, France, Sweeden, Germany, Italy, Venezuella and many more.

The flotilla is expected to depart Istanbul on 15th May 2010, comprising 20 ships and cargo boats to be laden with building supplies, generators, medical equipment and educational materials. They will sail through the Mediterranean Sea, carrying members of Parliament from countries around the world as well as high-profile journalists and human rights activists.

why break the siege?

The siege or blockade of Gaza started in June 2007. The blockade was supported by the governments of Egypt and the USA, among other nations. It consists of a land blockade along Gaza’s borders with Egypt and Israel, and a sea blockade maintained by the Israeli navy from three nautical miles offshore. It immediately followed the 2006-2007 economic sanctions against the Palestinian National Authority following the election of Hamas to the Palestinian government.

Prior to 2007 blockade, Israeli military has already imposed blockade of the Gaza Strip and closure of the Gaza International Airport, following the The Al-Aqsa Intifada which broke out in September 2000. The blockade worsened after the creation of a ‘buffer zone’ in September 2001, that would seal all entry and exit points in the Palestinian Territories. After 9 October, 2001, movement of people and goods across the ‘Green Line’ dividing the West Bank from Israel, and between the Gaza Strip and Israel, was halted, and a complete internal closure was effected on November 14, 2001.

More than 1.5 million Gazans have been cut off from the outside world and struggling with desperate poverty. The ongoing siege or blockade of Gaza punishes the entire population, young and old, by restricting the entry of food, medical supplies, educational equipment and building materials, oils, and virtualy any other basic supplies that are essential for a living.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know someone will said,"naah, for sure, Israel or Egypt will block those supplies for Gaza"Maybe there is high possibilities this supplies will be blocked by Egypt or Israel, but there is also possibility this supplies will be transferred into Palestine. The most important one is, we as a human that always protect other human's rights, have show some efforts to help them.

I have read somewhere a Malay guy said, "why we must bother about Palestine-Israel issues?, if Palestine didn't against Israel, i'm very sure this world is in peace"...jokes!, come on man. okey, why Malay people want a freedom from Britian at 1957?.hmm, if you read history books, for sure, we dont want to be oppressed by those Britian. We want our own rights to manage our country by our own system, same goes with Palestine, they want to live peacefully and want their own rights.

For Muslims, please never insult someone who want to do some deeds because i have heard someone said "Those who just pray for our brothers at Palestine is nothing, they didnt help Palestine,"huh?. Please,who are you to say that, this deed is better than another deed.?

Only Allah knows the best.

قُلْ كُلٌّ يَعْمَلُ عَلَىٰ شَاكِلَتِهِ فَرَبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ هُوَ أَهْدَىٰ سَبِيلًا

Say: "Everyone acts according to his own disposition: But your Lord knows best who it is that is best guided on the Way."

Ertinya : Katakanlah: ""Tiap-tiap orang berbuat amalan menurut keadaannya masing-masing"". Maka tuhanmu lebih mengetahui siapa yang lebih benar jalannya" ( Al-Isra : 84 )

oh, we can help our brothers and sisters in Palestine using many ways.

1) Lend your hand, i mean physically help. You can go to Palestine to help using your own skills.If you're a doctor, you can give a treatment.

2) Money.If you cant go to Palestine, you can give your money even only RM1.

3)Pray for Palestine will be free.

4)Attend any event or programme that supports Palestine.

5)Through writing whether in blog, fb, sms, email , books, or just a poster.

6)Give a sermon or speech about Palestine issues if you capable to do it.

7) Boycott the products made by the companies that support Israel.






p/s : I realized I'm not a pious person , but i want to do my best as a Muslim. Help Gazans.!,

[Get ready for final exam and camping]

Why do you want to become a doctor?

"Why do you want to be a doctor?"

This is the most frequently asked question when we went to interview to enter Kulliyah/Faculty of Medicine.

"I want to help other"
This is the most common answer given by us. Gold standard answer.
But most of the time, most of us are NOTHING!!

"I want to help the poor, they deserve better treatment."

SOUND FAMILIAR?
It is a standard answer from medical students. A good way to help the poor is to remain in the government service as they simply cannot afford to go to the money-sucking private hospitals. Unfortunately, when they are asked about the reason to reject JPA scholarship......

" Ishhh,need to bond to the government for 10 years, so long, dont want la. Wanna be free."
or, when they are asked whether to remain in the government service......

"Government? Cannot stand the workload,so many on-calls some more, I want to sleep,wanna to private after the compulsory service.
or, when ask to go to the ulu-ulu(rural) area to help the poor.............

"Ha?? NO cinema, NO KFC, NO Shopping malls, NO entertainment, can bored to death, u know....KATAKAN TAK NAK!!

Another standard answer given by medical student is:

"My family member had cancer and I couldn't do anything at that time, so, I want to be a doctor so that I can prevent this. "
Does this sound familiar to you?
If that is your answer
and
yet you are so obsessed with clinical practice
and
show very little interest towards medical research, you are going to the wrong direction.

When facing some terminal or serious diseases, it depends on the researchers who work behind the scene to develop the new treatments.
Doctors?
They only prolong the patient's life, and the result is still the same death

Another answer:

"It's my ambition since I was a kid."
Come on, how on earth can you decide that when you are still very much dependent on your parents for most of the decision.
Obviously, you get the idea from the sample essay in which you need to memorize when you were in primary school.
"Apakah cita-cita kamu?"
"Cita-cita saya adalah menjadi seorang doktor yang berjaya." Get it?

Another answer....

"Parents force me to study medicine."
Your parents might force you, yet, you still come to the medical school with happy face and very motivated. Yea, when there is no good answer, just blame the parents je, very easy answer.

..................................................................................................................................................................

Okay, why is it so hard to tell the truth?

" I want to be rich!"

" I want the title, DR. , glamour la!"

"Doctor has higher status, people respect me!"

"Doctor BEST, easy to tackle pretty chicks!"

Some doctors told us that becoming a doctor is not the way to be rich.
After office hour, they were spotted sitting comfortably in BMW, Mercedes... (--,)y
Yea, of course not rich, they are comparing themselves to Robert Kuok.
Some of you might say, "I can still help others by working in private hospital."
Yea right, they pay a huge amount for your service, basically, you are just selling your skill to them.
They pay for what they deserve but not at the mercy of your kindness.
furthermore, they can sue you if you don't give a good service. Have you ever heard that a kind Samaritan get sued because he/she is not giving a 'good enough' help?
"I sincerely want to help you, yet you sue me because my help is lousy?
I don't doubt that, indeed, there are some students who really have the heart to help others and also to improve the medical services in our country, good for them and I salute them.
But
how many of us are actually one of them? Are you?

Well, after almost 4 years in medical school, try to ask yourself the same old question again,

p/s; im still wondering why I want to become a DOC...for me,,THAT'S MY FATE..hoho..amiinn....
