SIAPA TAKUT BINI

Haiwan lain kata saya berjiwa rakyat. Memang pun...

Pengikut saya kata, saya mewarisi kehebatan bapa saya. Memang pun...
 
Sesekali kalau saya mengaum, memang menggeletar lutut. Memang pun...
 Saya nampak macam reserve, tapi kalau saya naik darah seekor kuda pun boleh habis saya kerjakan. Memang pun...
 
1hutan mengakui kewibawaan saya okay, malah seantero dunia puji saya. Memang pun...
 
Tapi kalau saya balik rumah, bini saya itu selalu torture saya. Manalah saya tak stress?

* Mak Cik Musalmah Lebar kata: 'Lembik dan selalu terlelap macam dulu pun tak apalah. Janji tak kecut dengan bini'. Aiyo Kak Sal, makan dalam.

Terengganu Kite 4 - Crystal Mosque


Kesempatan di KT, kami tidak melepaskan peluang ke Pulau Wan Man mengunjungi Masjid Kristal. Pulau ni pun sebenarnya bukan sebuah pulau tapi kelihatan macam dah ditambak membolehkan kenderaan terus ke kawasan masjid sejauh sebatu sekira-kira bermula dari Muzium Negeri yang terdapat Batu Bersurat.

Memasuki kawasan Pulau Wan Man in terdapat Taman Tamadun Islam seluar 23 hektar di mana beberapa replika monumen-monumen Islam termasuk beberapa masjid seluruh dunia dibina. Saiz replika masjid-masjid ni termasuk Dome of the Rock agak besar which make one wonders whether boleh solat ke tidak dalamnya.

Masjid kristal memang nampak cantik dari luar atau dari jauh bercahaya macam kristal. Tapi sebenarnya yang nampak macam kristal tu adalah tinted glass panels. Lokasi masjid memang strategik betul-betul di hujung tanjung overlooking jambatan dan muara Sungai Terengganu. Yang nampak ada kristal tu mungkin chandelier - tapi itu kat masjid sentul pong ada.. Keseluruhan masjid dan dewan solat sendiri tidak berapa besar mungkin unjuran tidak berapa ramai ahli kariah yang akan bersolat lima waktu di sini tapi dibina cukup sekadar untuk membenarkan hadis nabi berkenaan tanda akhir zaman - masjid yang dibina untuk hiasan.

Selesai jama' dan qasar di sini kami terus ke Pasar Payang.

Ini catatan sejarah berkenaan asal negeri penyu for your reading pleasure.

Terengganu Kite 3 - Kawang Lame

Sahabat saya ni anak jati Terengganu. Azlena Mohd. Noor a.k.a. AMN (gelaran kami beri masa di UTM dulu). AMN berasal dari Kg. Rhu Dua, Rusila, Marang, Terengganu. Semasa baru berkenalan pada tahun 1989, AMN terus dicop sebagai orang PAS, almaklum sekampung dengan Presiden PAS, Tuan Guru Haji Hadi Awang. Walaupun berlainan kursus, tetapi hubungan kami agak rapat kerana kami tinggal di blok H08 Kampung Belian, bersama-sama Zalini, Roai, Ecah, Sh. Juliana, Azawana dan Rohani kami memulakan langkah sebagai freshie UTM bagi sesi 89/90.

20 tahun berlalu dan kini berpeluang bertemu semula AMN di Kuala Terengganu. Terima kasih AMN melapangkan masa mengunjungi kami di Permai Inn, KT tempohari. Walaupun AMN berkeras menyuruh kami mengunjunginya dan bermalam di rumah beliau, namun berbanyak maaf kerana tidak dapat memenuhi jemputan mung, lagipun pada hari yang sama AMN akan menerima kunjungan saudara mara lain dari Kelantan. InsyaAllah jika berkesempatan berkunjung lagi keTerengganu rumah mung di Rusila bakal menjadi destinasi utama kami.

Earth Hour 2010

Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million homes and businesses turned their lights off for one hour to make their stand against climate change. Only a year later and Earth Hour had become a global sustainability movement with more than 50 million people across 35 countries participating. Last March 2009, hundreds of millions of people took part in the third Earth Hour. Over 4000 cities in 88 countries officially switched off to pledge their support for the planet, making Earth Hour 2009 the world’s largest global climate change initiative.

Participating in Earth Hour is easy, fun and absolutely free. For more information, visit http://www.earthhour.org/Homepage.aspx?intro=no where you'll find tips for what you could do to help Earth Hour.

So during the next Earth Hour 2010 which falls on Saturday kindly turn off all computers, electrical appliances and lights in your workplace before you leave for the weekend. In addition, it is also encouraged for everyone to participate in Earth Hour by turning off your non-essential lighting and appliances at home during the event.

With our strong participation, we hope to be able to unite Malaysians in a whole new light.

Siapa Sepak Kucing Malang Itu?


“Meoww!!!” seekor kucing menjerit kesakitan.
Malam itu malam yang malang buat si kucing. Dia tidur dengan kesakitan dan kemarahan. Perutnya senak disepak tanpa hujung pangkalnya.
“Apa salah aku?” menung si kucing di balik almari.

PETANG ITU
“Kenapa awak lewat fakskan dokumen tersebut?” tanya seorang CEO kepada setiausahanya.
“Err, Pengurus Jualan lewat menyerahkannya kepada saya” jawab beliau. Terketar-ketar.
“Ahhh! Macam-macam alasan awak. Saya bosan mendengarnya. Pergi semula kepada Pengurus Jualan dan betulkan dokumen tersebut. Sudahlah lewat. Salah pula tu!” bentak bos besar.
Marah sungguh.
Setiausahanya dengan muka yang merah padam meninggalkan pejabat beliau menuju kepada Pengurus Jualan.
“Itulah tuan! Tuan yang lewat serahkan dokumen tersebut, saya pula yang kena marah. Dokumen salah pula tu!” kata Setiausaha CEO tersebut.
Pengurus Jualan terkejut.
“Awak kalau nak berurusan dengan saya, ketuk pintu dahulu. Itu pun awak tak tahu ke?” Pengurus Jualan meninggikan suara.
“Ahhh! Sudahlah. Ketuk pintu ke, tak ketuk pintu ke, Tuan tetap lewat serahkan semuanya kepada saya. Ambil dokumen ini dan betulkan semula!” Setiausaha CEO menghempas segenggam dokumen itu ke meja.
Beliau terus meninggalkan Pengurus Jualan.
Sama-sama marah.
Petang itu sungguh tercemar bagi Pengurus Jualan. Geram dengan sikap Setiausaha CEO yang tidak tahu berbudi bahasa. Geram dan marah dirinya diburukkan lagi oleh kesesakan jalanraya luar biasa.
“Aduh! Sempatkah aku kejar siaran Berita malam ini?” Pengurus Jualan sudah bengang.
Kemungkinan besar beliau tidak sempat melihat siaran temuramah siaran Berita TV10 dengannya siang tadi. Tiba di rumah, jam sudah mencecah 8:30 malam. Sebaik sahaja beliau melangkah masuk ke rumah, isterinya dengan wajah berkerut di dahi menunggu di ruang tamu.
“Kenapa dengan awak?” tanya Pengurus Jualan kepada isterinya.
“Abang pakai baju comot sangat di televisyen tadi. Kawan saya telefon. Katanya saya tak jaga makan pakai suami!” kata sang isteri yang sebenarnya mahu bergurau dengan suami.
“Ahhh! Aku banyak masalah, itu pula yang disibukkannya! Makan malam dah siap ke???” tengking si suami yang sedang baran.
Si isteri sangat terkejut dengan amarah suaminya malam itu. Niat asal mahu bergurau berubah menjadi musibah. Tanpa banyak bicara beliau segera menuju ke dapur.
“Mama, tengok lukisan Adam! Cantik tak?” tiba-tiba si anak muncul di dapur dengan sekeping lukisan di tangan.
“Ahhh, sibuk sahaja kamu ni. Lukisan, lukisan, lukisan. Menghabiskan kertas A4 sahaja. Pergi naik atas buat kerja sekolah!” si ibu menengking anaknya.
Adam sungguh terkejut. Tidak sangka lukisannya berakhir dengan kemarahan si ibu.
Tiba-tiba kucing kesayangannya datang menggosok-gosokkan badan di kaki Adam.
“Meowww!!!” kucing itu menjerit.
Adam menyepak si kucing dengan penuh kemarahan.
Soalannya, siapakah sebenarnya yang menyepak si kucing malang itu?
Abu Hurairah radhiyallaahu ‘anhu berkata, seorang lelaki datang kepada Nabi sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam dan meminta wasiat (nasihat) daripada Baginda. Lalu Baginda sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam bersabda:

“Janganlah kamu marah! (Baginda mengulangnya beberapa kali dengan pesan yang sama: Janganlah kamu marah! Janganlah kamu marah! Janganlah kamu marah!” 
[Hadith riwayat al-Bukhari]
Besarlah pahala suami, isteri, anak, malah majikan, atau setiausahanya yang berjaya memberhentikan musibah berantai ini.

Angiography & Angioplasty

Angianc (anjang) singgah rumah semalam dari tawakal hospital. Dimaklumkan hospital mengarahkan ke Ampang Puteri esok, Rabu untuk buat angiogram. Ni wikipedia nak beritahu apo ko bondo angiogram tu. Baca jugak patient preparation after the jump break.

Angiography or arteriography is a medical imaging technique used to visualize the inside, or lumen, of blood vessels and organs of the body, with particular interest in the arteries, veins and the heart chambers. This is traditionally done by injecting a radio-opaque contrast agent into the blood vessel and imaging using X-ray based techniques such as fluoroscopy. The word itself comes from the Greek words angeion, "vessel", and graphein, "to write or record". The film or image of the blood vessels is called an angiograph, or more commonly, an angiogram.

Although the term angiography is strictly defined as based on projectional radiography, the term has been applied to newer vascular imaging techniques such as CT angiography and MR angiography.

Angioplasty is the technique of mechanically widening a narrowed or obstructed blood vessel; typically as a result of atherosclerosis. An empty and collapsed balloon on a guide wire, known as a balloon catheter, is passed into the narrowed locations and then inflated to a fixed size using water pressures some 75 to 500 times normal blood pressure (6 to 20 atmospheres).

Eco Mobility Advance Solution (EMAS) by Proton


We tought that only Sarah and Hajar are in the driving seats for their EMAS program at IIUM, now even Proton has their very own EMAS program.. On the second thought, as we are looking for another small car like the antic Mini Cooper above, the Proton 'eco' should be rightly pictured at the posh greeneries.. not the oldies..
----------------------------------------------

From The Star GENEVA: Malaysia’s first global car Emas is expected to mark the birth of a golden era for Proton, the national car maker.

The concept version of the car, shown in three variants, was launched at the Geneva Inter­national Motor Show yesterday by Proton adviser Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. Production by 2012.

“This is Proton’s 25th year and we want to tell the world that Proton is now ready to be a global player,” he said, adding that Proton was willing to invest in strategic partnerships to drive this new direction for the company. He said the project represented a giant techonogical leap for Proton, which previously focused on the local market.

Emas, an acronym for Eco Mobility Advance Solution, was designed in collaboration with acclaimed Italian design house Italdesign Giugiaro.

Who Was The Greatest Man On Earth (Epilogue)

EPILOGUE

“Endless are the words which have been spoken to described his noble life and personality. I believe no one can fail to be moved or inspired by the magnificence of his radiance character; even Muhammad’s (pbuh) greatest enemies had to admit that no fault could be found in his behaviour or integrity. In addition, those Western scholars and historical figures who over the centuries were brave enough to gaze with an honest heart at the miracle of Muhammad’s (pbuh) life and achievements have testified to this.

Strange indeed, therefore, that so many people on the face of the earth today have little or no knowledge of the life and mission of this last great Prophet of God (pbuh) and his historical impact on the world we live in.”

Yusuf Islam (formerly Cat Stevens)

Who Was The Greatest Man On Earth (Part II)

PART II

3. A PROPHET’S MISSION IS TO CONVEY GOD’S RELIGION, BUT THE LAST PROPHET’S MISSION MUST BE UNIVERSAL SINCE THERE WILL BE NO OTHER PROPHETS TO CONTINUE THE MISSION.

[The most famous men created arms, laws and empires only. They founded, if anything at all, no more than material powers which often crumbled away before their very eyes. This man moved not only armies, legislation, empires, peoples and dynasties, but million of men in one-third of the then inhabited world; and more than that, he moved the altars, the gods, the religions, the ideas, the beliefs and souls...his forbearance in victory, his ambition, which was entirely devoted to one idea and in no manner striving for an empire; his endless prayers, his mystic conversation with God, his death and his triumph after death, all this attest not to an impostor but to a firm conviction which gave him the power to restore a dogma.”

“This dogma was twofold, the unity of God and the immateriality of God; the former telling what God is, the latter telling what God is not; the one overthrowing false gods with the sword, the other starting an idea with the words.

- Lamartine/Histoire de la Turquie?Paris 1854

“Four years after the death of Justinian, A.D.569, was born at Mecca in Arabia, the man who, of all men, exercised the greatest influence upon the human race...”

- John William Draper/A History of the Intellectual Development of Europe/London 1875

“The Christians and their missionaries have presented a horrible picture of Islam. Not only that, they also carried out an organized and planned propaganda against the personality of Prophet Muhammad and the religion he preached. I have very carefully studied Islam and the life of its prophet. I have done so both as a student of history and as a critic, and have come to a conclusion that Mohammad was indeed a great man and a deliverer and benefactor of mankind...”

Who Was The Greatest Man On Earth (Part I)

There are many claimants to the title of Prophet of God, but Muhammad (peace be upon him) had claimed to be the last Messenger of God (Rasulullah) and hence the Seal of the prophetic order.

A Prophet of God must satisfy many criteria to be worthy of the claim, so we shall apply some of these to him - based only on objective, independent analyses of his life, mission and achievements.

PART I

1. A PROPHET OF GOD MUST HAVE DIVINE AUTHORITY FOR HIS CLAIM, AND THIS MUST BE EVIDENT TO THOSE WHO STUDY HIS LIFE OBJECTIVELY - EVEN THOSE WHO ARE NOT HIS FOLLOWERS.

“The essential sincerity of Muhammad’s nature cannot be questioned: and a historical criticism that links no facts, yields nothing to credulity, weights every testimony, has no partisan interest, and seeks only the truth, must acknowledge his claim to belong to that order of prophets...”

- Annie Bessant (Theosophist/The Life & Teachings of Muhammad/Madras 1932.

“He was Caesar and Pope in one; but he was Pope without Pope’s pretension and Caesar without the legions of Caesar: without a standing army, without a bodyguard, without a palace, without a fixed revenue; if ever any man had the right to say that he ruled by the right divine, it was Mohammad, for he had all the power without its instruments and without its support.”

- Rev. Bosworth Smith/Mohammad and Mohammadanism/London 1874
