A Mosque Goer...!!!

A Mosque goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to Mosque. "I've gone for 30 years now," he wrote, "and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 Lectures. But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time and the Imams are wasting theirs by giving Lectures at all." This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column, much to the delight of the editor. It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher. "I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals. But I do know this: They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not gone to Mosque for nourishment, I would be spiritua...

"Whole Life Devoted to TaeKwon-Do"

Oh I had a very good training today! And felt very good when a world-class senior complimented my side kick! ^__^ oh, that's the outcome of a 4-days hard training a couple of years ago (December 2003), on a 1.5 meter cliff at the sea-shore of Langkawi, with my left foot bandaged (suspected a little crack after I accidentally kicked my sister's elbow bone during the training for the national-level tournament..), trained by Selangor's chief instructor of that time Sir Kenneth Khoo. (top-right picture: please scroll down to year 2005 memories for more info.. hehe) Just to refresh my own memory, since I love ITF (International TaeKwon-Do Federation) TaeKwon-Do sooo veery much! hehe.. I'll tell you about my training history... January 2006 January 1998 (11 yrs old) - Joined ITF TaeKwon-Do, venue Sek. Rendah Al-Amin Kuala Lumpur, trainer Sir Kenneth Khoo and Ms Tan Wei Wei. - Participated in my first tournament in IOI Mall, Puchong, Selangor. Was beaten pretty bad. Kicked-ou...

Semester exam results were out yesterday. As soon as I received the notice from a friend, I got nervous. My hands were shaking as I moved the mouse's cursor and typed in my Matric No. and IC No. And my heart pounded hard. Alhamdulillah. No C's this time. An A-, a B+ and a B. Now you know why I strived so hard (not hard enough actually) and get stressed out 'bout my academics each sem...

Kembara Kami

16th November 2006 Two days before, late at night, I decided to follow a friend a.k.a. big sis a.k.a. comrade-in-arms for a holiday trip to Bandung, Indonesia. I waited for Mom to return home from Surabaya after midnight and asked for her permission. She told me to ask Dad. Dad was in Jakarta. [And Atiqah in Yemen; and Yusuf in Jordan (went to Lubnan & Syria); and Kakak & Abg Amin will be going to Cape Town, South Africa; and Musa & Mom to Australia; and Dad to Istanbul..... I thought a family would only go to one place together for a trip... man, this is rare...) Anyways, the next day, on my way to a meeting with Datin Hartini for a youth expedition project to Singapore and Aceh, I sent Dad a text asking for his permission. He replied, saying yes. And I was so glad. Actually, I was suppose to join a Mukhayyam in Ulu Yam together with many other friends of mine on the 16th... But I just love to travel elsewhere, although twice have I been to Bandung with my family. Both sou...

SMS phenomena (the same goes to forwarded e-mails and bulletins)

A very nice post from my classmate back in ADNI... Assalamu'alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh, How come I didn't know that you could convert to Judaism? See Judaism 101: Jewish Attitudes Toward Non-Jews . There's this great thing I've been obsessed with lately called Yahoo! Answers ^_^ Helps release stress, IMO. All those unanswered questions can make you restless... I've noticed that my text messages are always questions... I agree with the Rahmatan Lil-'Alamin concept. God, aren't you sick of hearing about all those protests, burning flags, and stuff? 8- And the Christians here aren't doing that, but pushing for dialogue instead. What happened during The Da Vinci Code launch? No protests. No rallies. Come on, do we want to be losers? 8- I'd feel like one if Muslims lost to Christians in this aspect... And the SMS phenomena recently--I feel like a loser already 8- You get a message: "Christian-Muslim gang fight in Ampang. 6 killed" What ...

Doa Seorang Muslim

Doa Seorang Muslim terhadap saudaranya... Diriwayatkan oleh Muslim dan Abu Daud dari Shafwan bin Abdillah ra katanya: "Saya datang ke Syam dan menemui Abu Darda’ di rumahnya, tetapi tidak ditemui dan yang ada hanyalah Ummu Darda’. Tanyanya kepadaku: "Apakah kau hendak naik haji tahun ini?" , "Memang" ujarku. Katanya pula: "Kalau begitu tolonglah doakan kami agar memperoleh kebaikan, kerana Nabi saw pernah bersabda: "Doa dari seorang muslim buat saudaranya dari belakangnya (tanpa pengetahuannya) adalah doa yang makbul." "Dekat kepalanya ada malaikat yang bertugas. Maka setiap ia berdoa untuk saudaranya itu, malaikat akan mengucapkan "Amin! Aku juga mendoakanmu". Cerita Shafwan lagi: "Setelah aku pergi ke pasar dan ketemu dengan Abu Darda’. Maka disampaikannya pula kepadaku seperti tersebut diatas, yang menurut keterangannya diterima nya dari Nabi saw." Demikianlah keutamaan mendoakan saudara sesama muslim. Ketika kita mend...

my hol starts!

Alhamdulillah, I've gone through my final examination... I don't think I performed very well, or even 'well' bcoz I only studied during the very last minutes before the exams. Erm, I have to admit that it is a bad behaviour I've been carrying with me everywhere I go for the past 19 years of my life... But anyways, please do pray for the best results. I aim to give my CGPA an increase of more than just 0.32 points! oh, you didn't know that there's this story bout my CGPA... My CGPA didnt start well compared to my classmates as well as my fellow friends. Increased by 0.01 for my 2nd semester, 0.02 for my 3rd semester, 0.08 for my 4th semester,,, and now I'll pray that it's not 0.16 or 0.32 but MORE!!!! *** sadness *** i can't graduate from the iium matriculation school with a very low CGPA,,, even though it will not be included in my degree, I'll feel bad all my life... ---- bcoz__ I tend to focus on other things other than my studies, and I ge...
