Secrets

My favourite section at any book store would be self-help or self improvement. So the day before I went back home I went to the gardens and manage to get my self drop by two book stores. The first one is the Borders because none of the shop in The Gardens had opened *yup we arrived really early we can see all the workers esp at restaurant are still preparing: mopping, cutting veggies etc*

After the movie and karaoke session, we went to Mid Valley and we entered MPH. Suddenly I came across this book:

What made me feel like flipping through the pages and keep on reading it besides the secrets in it is the colourful pages. *haha* Frankly, I love books with pictures and colours and big fonts. *Thats why I just cant stand law books it really contradicts with what suppose to be my favourite book*

Anyway, is secret itself is appealing or I am 1 curios person that will get thrilled over a secret? I bet everyone like to know secrets. So, here goes a book, simple to read yet full of messages *if u get them*

So, we do know price of books here in Malaysia are quite steep so let's just check out the blog to see what I'm talking about * I know I might as well just post the url from the beginning instead of babbling the whole lot about secrets and whatnot..hehe*

P/s: I'm currently reading Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami

Ignore the tickets people!!!

Have you read?

Court ruling takes bite out of local council summonses

I never liked any news more than this one! I've received quite several numbers of tickets from the municipal council (shah alam & kuala terengganu) and what I did was throw it away. *haha* I did that after my friend said local council does not have the authority to summon people.

I remember the first time receiving it was right after I parked near BSN. The space was big enough not to disturb traffic. And it can fit what like five cars more? And yet, the Majlis Perbandaran still issue tickets. It's illogical! Unless they spare a parking lot. I don't mind paying for parking. You see, sometimes they are more or less ignorant of the relevancy of issuing a ticket with the parking space provided. How can we abide by the rule if there is no parking space to start with?

On another note, I'm happy to discover that my tummy had gone flatter. *yeay!* Well I think don't-drink-right-after-eating rule is the secret. I did practise it before this but I turned up drinking a lot more after what suppose to be only a glass if I were to drink right after the meal. So my belly got blotted like I was 3 months pregnant!

And how did it actually work recently? I don't need water that much considering the cold weather. I didn't even have to switch up the fan! And one more thing, I will tend to fall asleep after lunch without drinking. waiting for 30 minutes just to drink can make me very very sleepy. So, there it is. The secret of my flat stomach ;p

2012, The time traveler's wife & Gold Digger *Pisau Cukur*

Before I head back home, I manage to watch these movies.

2012- I have to say this is the saddest movie I've ever watched! I don't cry this much during Titanic or Armageddon ok? But I dislike the idea of some people will be safe and sound after all of the crashes. And I totally hate the husband and wife kissing scene. It is not appropriate! You're in the middle of an emergency man! Other than that, the effect of this movie is WOW! Enough said.

The time traveler's wife- bare with the movie for the first half hour. It's quite confusing but you will never know what you will be discovering towards the end. *HAHA so much a movie review,huh?* Recommended to be watched with people who appreciates romantic movies.

Pisau Cukur- Funny, funny, funny! Good for post-exam activities. Good for people who likes great actors and actresses. I mean, Liyana Jasmay, Aflin, Datuk Rahim Razali, Umie Aida, Khatijah Tan, Sharifah Sofea are just extras ok! The extras themselves are great imagine the movie, baby! Maya Karin and Fazura are both hot as always and the new actor pairing up with Maya at the end of the movie looks like a male version of Dayat. Obviously Dayat will always be cute no matter in a male or female body ;p

I'm so not good at reviewing (" ')

100th post

I have always have a thing for tough boys. And according to my dictionary tough boys are boys that can do what ever I rather not do. For instance camping, camping in a tent, camping during rainy days or ermmm camping during monsoon season. Ok, you got me.

Yup, I don't really like mingling with mother nature so much. I have my own mother and I like the idea of home sweet home very much. ;p

That is why I should be really really I mean reaaaalllllyyyyy proud of my little brother. Look!




I thought they were going to set the tents up at the car porch but I guess they're willing to cope with the uncertain weather. As you can see, it is so not a good weather to camp. Good luck lil bro!

P/s: Despite by my love-hate relationship with outdoor activities I still love the idea of having a house tree! And one of my lil brother's friend is cute and he will obviously turned out to be 1 hottie when he grew up! I asked if he has a big brother *hoping his answer would be yes and about the same as age me but he said NO!* T_T

life is life

one day we feel this way and tomorrow we'll feel that way
don't blame the fickle-minded mind or the unstable emotion
all human beings are created to change
from good better best
or bad worst chronic

then who to blame?
no one

just accept what is there to accept

life is uncertain and that's the beauty of it

a helping hand

There was one event during my study at UiTM held for excellent students and students with poor results. After a speech by the college principle, then there is a counseling session followed by a heart heart-wrenching slot. A slide was shown sharing a story of a persevere father who is fighting for himself and his family. At that time the atmosphere became so quiet and I can feel everybody was holding their tears.

Then the benevolent man which we saw on the slide continue his story. And promoted bookmarks for sale to help him with his medical bills.

This is the first time I saw a a very strong person in front of my bare eyes. We always complain when we help others and yet others did not help us in needy times in return. What if our help turn out to be a major turning point of a never ending hardship in our lives? Ever think of that? Well, you should because there are people who went through those kind of test.

For instance, Ahmad Khariri al-Hadi . He touched my heart that night and made my life feel so easy compared to what he had to go through. Today, as I was reading this blog, the feeling of that night came again. Except this time, the feeling is more intense. I mean, he has been suffering from that night up until today? In that article, the daughter of the man asked, "dad, why are you helping people and yet people are not helping you?" Oh, my. what a test.

To say hold on good man would be a stupidest advice as we can see he is bearing and battling with every thing there is until now. With no job and medical bills need to be paid, how can life be easier?

Here is his number 017-6351057 and email khairi_alhadi@yahoo.com.my and his account number MAYBANK, 162106646530. Give him a helping hand generous people!

And a simple yet meaningful help you can do is, blog about it! Tell your friend and help him. If one person help him with let say with rm10. thousand people will make it rm10k!

If only that much knew and help...If only..

better society

During form 4 and 5 I had learn Islamic Shariah Education. Basically it's an exposure of "istinbat hukum" or learning how to obtain laws there are from Quran, Sunnah, Ijma', Qiyas etc on daily ibadah and some on offences. But I can only see it through the surface. And the interest to know more about why this and that never arose. The target of learning is solely to get A1 never to understand and be a better muslim.

Now that I had learn Islamic Criminal Law I have better understanding on most of the law Allah had laid down for us, humans. And I am in the opinion that we should implement such laws.

Everyone is of different views but I would say this, don't instantly say no just because the law is a divine law base on Islamic principle and do not say yes just because you are a muslim and by saying no you are acting as if you are disagreeing with Allah.

In the law itself there are many views from the four scholars themselves and also many modern views from credible authors. Which differ from one another.

I was amazed when I discovered that for instance, theft, there are elements that needs to be fulfilled before someone's hand will be cut off. The law don't simply cut off the hand of the thief say they stole pencil or ruler or something. And when we go through the elements one by one we can see that thief nowadays cannot even be liable for hudud punishment (cut-off hands).

After all of this while I thought the law is rather harsh because cutting off hand will make the thief embarrassed for his whole life! What if they mistakenly took a rubber from someone's pencil case and forget to put it back and suddenly the rubber when missing and the owner of the rubber found out and will take me to the police and asked the police to cut my hands off T_T *did I just say me?owh* But being a good muslim, I will always say yes and I'm always scared to say that I think cutting off people hands are cruel if they only steal a stupid eraser.

I am so grateful for Allah the most knowing had given me the chance to know such things. I had been learning Islamic education since standard 1 and now I realised that I don't really have the full understanding of it. Where am I standing? Why am I doing this and that? The answer is always because I want to be a good muslim and I always follow and many times disobey it because 20 years ago I've been following not appreciating. All I need to do now is dig, dig and dig deeper. Only then secrets of Allah's creation can be discovered.

Now, if I say I believe that implementing Shariah Law is good for the society I really mean it and I am satisfied that I know why I believe in that :)

P/s: no compulsion in Islam!
