Teruskan Perjuangan

2008-12-19T23:13:00.002+08:00

"Kegagalan dalam kemuliaan adalah lebih baik daripada kejayaan dalam kehinaan. Walaupun ada sedikit kegagalan tetapi perlu diingat bahawa setiap kejadian itu tentu ada hikmahnya.... Ini kerana hidup memerlukan pengorbananan. Pengorbanan memerlukan perjuangan. Dalam perjuangan memerlukan ketabahan. Ketabahan memerlukan keyakinan. Keyakinan pula menentukan kejayaan. Kejayaan pula akan menentukan kebahagiaan. Jadi gantungkan azam dan semangatmu setinggi bintang di langit dan rendahkan hatimu serendah mutiara di lautan. Jadikan dirimu bagai pohon yang rendang di mana insan dapat berteduh. Jangan seperti pohon kering tempat sang pungguk melepas rindu dan hanya layak dibuat kayu api. Ingatlah sahabatku... Esok pasti ada tetapi esok belum pasti untuk kita. Beringat-ingatlah untuk menghadapi esok yang pastikan mendatang... Ini kerana rahsia kejayaan hidup adalah persediaan manusia untuk menyambut kesempatan yang menjelma."

2008-11-08T18:26:00.006+08:00

Finally my flash unit, Nikon Speedlight SB-600, has arrived. I bought it from my friend, SirZaLee, as he want to buy a new flash unit. Before I buy it from him, I assure him that he is not going to use the flash until his new flash arrived. As we come to an agreement, that he's not going to use the flash unit until his new one arrived, so he's willing to let it go.

Before doing the agreement with SirZaLee, I did text my other friend, Hiero, that we gona hang out and I want to treat him, since he help me looking for my first dSLR camera, for lunch on Saturday (today).

As Saturday (today) came, SirZaLee bring along his SB-600, now belong to me *sigh*, as he came to school. Before lunch hour, Hiero rang me, to inform that his going to be running alittle bit late. Since my lacture finish early, so I just talking with my frineds at our hang out place at school to kill some times.

As the time shows half pass 12, I just went straight away to the Mall, where there is an Electronics Expo that being held at the Mall's lobby. Before taking pictures on the expo, I went to the Mall's food court and having some bits of sandwich while waiting for Hiero. As soon as he came, I have my second meal during the lunch *LOL*.

While having our lunch, I asked him to teach me how to use the flash. After finishing our lunch, we decide to take some photos of the Expo. Below are some of the picture that was taken by me during the expo, and my using my first Nikon SB-600.

Being Visited By ASIAN Youth Program

2008-11-07T21:07:00.005+08:00

On Thursday we only have 1 lacture to attend which is Mobile & Satellite Communication System that started at 8.55 AM to 9.50 AM. Then we were free until afternoon, but during the afternoon we have to be in the lab where we were inform by our head of department that their will be visiter from the ASIAN Youth Program to visit our department and labs.

Before lunch out, I was being informed that I will be doing my project presentation, which was really-really a short notice for me since I didn't prepay any slides and anythings, at around 3 PM.

As times pass by, all my staff were not ready, so I inform my project supervisor and personal tutor that I need more time. They gave me a green light that I can have my time. As I prepay for my project and testing all that, the ASIAN Youth Program participants enter the workshop lab, I also met my friend who took part in the ASIAN Youth Program.

Some of the participants asked me several questions which I managed to answer it, also with the help of my project supervisor, as he explain the objective of my project to the participants. There were also some of my colleagues doing their testing to their project. Below are some of the pictures that I took during the event.

Applying The Photoshop Software To My Picture

2008-11-05T19:29:00.005+08:00

Today I don't have any class to attend, but I still go to school to see any news from my other colleagues. As lunch came by, I decide to joint the power student, Mursidi, Fauzee, Preka, Milin, Nadia and Mahrin (Comm student), to have lunch with them. We have lunch together at Giant food court, where I ordered butter chicken with rice and drint vanila coke. After finishing our lunch, we entered the Giant shop to have a view in and to kill some times.

Before I split with them, I brought a book in How to use Photoshop (really-really need to learn it) which was sell at the Giant lobby, while the power students meet Yani along the way while she was testing her blood pressure which is also avaliable at the Giant lobby. After Yani having done her test, some of the power students tested their blood pressure.

As I arrived home, I read the book that I just brought and applied one of the applications to one of my pictures. Below is the picture that I just test it.

So Close Yet So Far

2008-11-03T18:15:00.002+08:00

This morining I saw one of the greatest Formula 1 race ever, where two of the drivers were battling for the F1 driver championship, and it was the final circuit of the season, the Brazilian Grand Prix. The two championship contender are Lewis Hamilton of McLaren Mercedes and Felipe Massa of Scuderia Ferrari, where Massa need all the 10 points with a condition that Hamilton at 6th position or below, while Hamilton only needed to be in 5th place to claim the championship title.

The race started very well for the Brazilian, Massa, where he took the pole position, while Hamilton started at 4th position. The race goes very well with only one accident occur which involveing David Coulthard of Red Bull Racing and Nilson Piquet of ING Renault F1-team at the opening lap. The Brazilian GP will be the last F1 GP for the British driver, David Coulthard, where he will be retire from the Formula 1.

With only 3 laps to go, Massa still taking the lead, but Hamilton still has an advantage at 5th place. After few corners of the final 3 laps, Sebastian Vettel of Toro Rosso with Ferrari engine overtook the 5th place from Lewin Hamilton. At the final lap of the final Grand Prix, Massa still took the lead, while Hamilton fighting for the 5th place with Vettel.

As Felipe Massa took the chequer flag, noise erupted from the grandstand where they celebrating their local hero, they also though that Massa will also win the F1 Driver Championship. While Massa took the chequer flag, the battle for the 5th place was still on going, and with few second from the start-finish line, all of sudden, a Toyota car (Timo Glock) which was in 4th place slows down as he could not challenge the pace of Vettel and Hamilton, as he was on 2 stop strategy. Both Vettel and Hamilton overtook him at the final corner of the final lap. As both drivers overtook Glock, that means Vattel took the 4th place while Hamilton 5th place.

As Hamilton took the 5th place, this means that Lewis Hamilton has won the Driver Championship with only single point over Felipe Massa, 98 to 97. This also mean that Hamilton has overwrite the FIA F1 history that made by his former teammate Fernando Alonso, who took the 2nd place ahead of Kimi Raikkonen of Ferrari, as the youngest driver to win the F1 Championship. While in Constructure Championship, Ferrari (172 points) dominate it with 21 points clear over their rivel McLaren Mercedes (151 points).

Updating The Blog

2008-10-25T18:46:00.002+08:00

This whole week I'm abit busy doing my project report, but finally I did manage to finish it in time. The week start not that well, where I should start doing my report after the hari raya celebration, but due to some problem that I encountered during testing the project so I've to delay doing it.

Weeks pass by and I still testing my project, finally I did test my project and it does work well on the blue board and I'm only testing the motor circuit which is not included the PIC16F877A. When I asked my project partner (whose doing the PIC Microcontroller and sensor part) said that his part was successfully programmed. So We proceed to do the track on the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) by using the EAGLE software.

I just starting to get to use the software, where I have to design the schematic diagram first before transferred it to the board layout. This is where the problem start, where when I try to autoroute the circuit it can't produce a 100% finished. Some of the route are too thin, in which as the current flow through it, it can burn the copper of the PCB. But thanks to CJ Ho, I manage to solve the problem.

Before I can solve the problem, I'm planning to have a stay back after school to do the report, but I can't do it since both the schematic and the board layout are needed for my report. After finish solving the EAGLE software problem, me and Azam plainning to have a dinner somewhere, and we even invite Chiemz to join us, but he told us that he has an appointment with his friend to have a dinner together.

Then at the parking area me and Azam discuss where to have our dinner, so we plan to park my car at Hua Ho Kiulap and form their we went to somewhere else. As we arrive at Hua Ho, we were surprise that Chiemz followed us all the way. So after finish discussing, we all agreed to have our dinner around Bandar area. We went to Bandar using Azam's can, and inside the car we have another discussion on where to eat. We're planning to eat dinner at "KFC", Kianggih Food Court, but since it is too early, raining and it is the early of the week, so we deside to have our dinner at KFC at Yayasan. After having our dinner, Chiemz have to buy a donut at Fun Donut, Yayasan as his dessert, he even offer me to buy one but I'm too full to eat. We went home after the calling of the Isya prayer. Before we went home, I did take some pictures at the heart of Yayasan and the view of the SOAS mosque.

Oh yeah, before I forget. This picture was taken during our tea break of the same day when we are having our dinner at KFC, see how romantic Salmi and Chiemz are =)

Menziarahi Pusara Part(2)

2008-09-27T19:33:00.003+08:00

Friday, 26/9/2008, we went to Batu Marang cemetery although it was a rainny day. This is not the first time we went to the cemetery during the rainny seasons. If I'm not mistaken, during the mid 90's we went to the same cemetery with the same weather.

To reach to the cemetery, we have to use a boat. So we rent a boat from one of the villagers. We park our car at Sungai Dua jetty, we usually park out car at Batu Marang's parking area, but since it's hard to find a free parking space, so we decide to park at Sungai Dua jetty and straight away climb down to the boat. It usually took us 15 to 20 minutes to reach the cemetery jetty. But since that day it was rainning and the water was too shallow, so it took us nearly half an hour to reach the cemetery jetty.

This year we missed two cemeteries; Subuk (our Great-Granduncle), and Kubah Makam DiRaja (ZeeZool's Grandfather).

Mencari Malam Al-Qadar

2008-09-25T21:59:00.002+08:00

Malam Lailatulqadar adalah lebih baik dari seribu bulan, di mana ia terjadi di bulan Ramadhan, penghulu segala bulan. Ada riwayat menyatakan terjadinya Al-Qadar itu pada malam hari-hari ganjil pada sepuluh terakhir bulan Ramadhan (21,23,25,27 dan 29 Ramadhan). Saya pernah terdengar bahawa salah satu tanda-tanda datangnya Al-Qadar ialah di mana pada hari itu suasana sekeliling berkeadaan tenang.

Pada hari ini, saya menyedari bahawa keadaan sekeliling berkeadaan tenang, tetapi adakah ia malam Al-Qadar? Hanya ALLAH sahaja yang mengetahuinya. Alangkah beruntungnya jika kita menjumpai malam Al-Qadar itu.

Wallahualam~~~

Sejarah Ayat Al-Kursi

2008-09-14T12:05:00.001+08:00

Ayat ini diturunkan setelah hijrah. Semasa penurunannya ia telah diiringi oleh beribu-ribu malaikat kerana kehebatan dan kemuliaannya.

Syaitan dan iblis juga menjadi gempar kerana adanya satu perintang dalam perjuangan mereka. Rasullah s.a.w. dengan segera memerintahkan Zaid b Tsabit menulis serta menyebarkannya. Sesiapa yang membaca ayat Kursi dengan khusyuk setiap kali selepas sembahyang fardhu, setiap pagi dan petang setiap kali keluar masuk rumah atau hendak musafir, InsyaAllah akan terpeliharalah dirinya dari godaan syaitan, kejahatan manusia, binatang buas yang akan memudaratkan dirinya bahkan keluarga, anak-anak, harta bendanya juga akan terpelihara dengan izin Allah s.w.t.

Mengikut keterangan dari kitab'Asraarul Mufidah' sesiapa mengamalkan membacanya setiap hari sebanyak 18 kali maka akan dibukakan dadanya dengan berbagai hikmah, dimurahkan rezekinya, dinaikkan darjatnya dan diberikannya pengaruh sehingga semua orang akan menghormatinya serta terpelihara ia dari segala bencana dengan izin Allah.Syeikh Abu Abbas ada menerangkan, siapa yang membacanya sebanyak 50 kali lalu ditiupkannya pada air hujan kemudian diminumnya, InsyaAllah Allah akan mencerdaskan akal fikirannya serta memudahkannya menerima ilmu pengetahuan.Untuk amalan kita semua.....
Fadhilat Ayat Al-Kursi mengikut Hadis-HadisRasullullah s.a.w. bersabda bermaksud:
“Sesiapa pulang ke rumahnya serta membaca ayat Kursi, Allah hilangkan segala kefakiran di depan matanya.”

Sabda baginda lagi;
“Umatku yang membaca ayat Kursi 12 kali pada pagi Jumaat, kemudian berwuduk dan sembahyang sunat dua rakaat, Allah memeliharanya daripada kejahatan syaitan dan kejahatan pembesar.”

Orang yang selalu membaca ayat Kursi dicintai dan dipelihara Allah sebagaimana DIA memelihara Nabi Muhammad. Mereka yang beramal dengan bacaan ayat Kursi akan mendapat pertolongan serta perlindungan Allah daripada gangguan serta hasutan syaitan.

Pengamal ayat Kursi juga, dengan izin Allah, akan terhindar daripada pencerobohan pencuri.

Ayat Kursi menjadi benteng yang kuat menyekat pencuri daripada memasuki rumah.Mengamalkan bacaan ayat Kursi juga akan memberikan keselamatan ketika dalam perjalanannya. Ayat Kursi yang dibaca dengan penuh khusyuk, Insya-Allah, boleh menyebabkan syaitan dan jin terbakar.

Jika anda berpindah ke rumah baru maka pada malam pertama anda menduduki rumah itu eloklah anda membaca ayat Kursi 100 kali, insya-Allah mudah-mudahan anda sekeluarga terhindar daripada gangguan lahir dan batin.

Barang siapa membaca ayat Al-Kursi apabila berbaring di tempat tidurnya, Allah mewakilkan 2 orang Malaikat memeliharanya hingga subuh.Barang siapa membaca ayat Al-Kursi di akhir setiap sembahyang Fardhu, ia akan berada dalam lindungan Allah hingga sembahyang yang lain. Barang siapa membaca ayat Al-Kursi di akhir tiap sembahyang, tidak menegah akan dia daripada masuk syurga kecuali maut, dan barang siapa membacanya ketika hendak tidur, Allah memelihara akan dia ke atas rumahnya, rumah jirannya & ahli rumah2 di sekitarnya.

Barang siapa membaca ayat Al-Kursi diakhir tiap-tiap sembahyang Fardhu, Allah menganugerahkan dia hati-hati orang yang bersyukur perbuatan2 orang yang benar, pahala nabi2 juga Allah melimpahkan padanya rahmat.Barang siapa membaca ayat Al-Kursi sebelum keluar rumahnya, maka Allah mengutuskan 70,000 Malaikat kepadanya, mereka semua memohon keampunan dan mendoakan baginya.

Barang siapa membaca ayat Al-Kursi di akhir sembahyang Allah azza wajalla akan mengendalikan pengambilan rohnya dan ia adalah seperti orang yang berperang bersama nabi Allah sehingga mati syahid.

Barang siapa yang membaca ayat al-Kursi ketika dalam kesempitan nescaya Allah berkenan memberi pertolongan kepadanyaDari Abdullah bin 'Amr r.a. ,

Rasullullah s.a.w. bersabda, ' SAMPAIKANLAH PESANKU BIARPUN SATU AYAT...

Ahlanwasahlan Ya Ramadhan

2008-09-02T16:35:00.003+08:00

Setelah setahun berlalu, kini ia kembali. Ramadhan mengajar kita supaya banyak-banyak bersabar, Ramadhan jua mengajar kita supaya beriman dan bertakwa kepada-Nya. Di bulan ini juga terjadinya berbagai peristiwa penting dalam sejarah Islam, di antaranya ialah turunnya ayat-ayat Al-Quran, dan peristiwa itu dikenali sebagai Nuzul Al-Quran. Di bulan ini juga mempunyai satu malam yang lebih baik dari seribu bulan, malam itu ialah malam "Lailatul Qadar". Di mana pada malam itu semua doa'-doa' di kabulkan dan amalan-amalan akan di lipat gandakan.

Study!!! Study!!! Study!!!

2008-08-25T22:01:00.002+08:00

Today we're having our first phase test, and it is Fibre Optic Communication. It seem that some of us abit frustrated about the test, but hay that's the challenge for taking this course right. Well for me, I have no comment on that subject. Fingers cross that we all have a good result..AMIN.

In the afternoon, I continue to troubleshoot my project. Alhamdulillah, with the help of Zul we finally solve the problem. By the way, since my project is still a prototype version, so I don't have the picture yet. Now my next stage is to built a program using an assembly language before using C++ language, then transfer the program to the PIC.

After finish building the program, I'll giving a hand for my project partner then when we have enough time we will try to improvise our project (hope we have enough time). For your information, our project is due by mid of October this year. It means that we have less than 2 months and it also means that we will have less "Hari Raya" argh!!! And if the project is successful (Hope so...AMIN) I hope we can enter the CIPTA award, not just me and my partner, I hope all of us that doing the project will enter the CIPTA award...AMIN.

Too much to do

2008-08-20T20:22:00.003+08:00

Huh..It's been awhile that I didn't update my blog. Well I'm a bit busy at the moment doing my final semester project (hope it will be success), up coming test, and too many reports and assignment to do. So maybe my blog will not be updated regularly maybe within few weeks or maybe even few months, but if I have time I will be updating my blog.

Today I tried testing my project, unfortunately it wasn't a successful one, where the window motor doesn't work as I expected. I try to troubleshoot it but couldn't find what's the problem with the circuit, huh, but hopefully I can find what's the problem within this week or next week (hopefully). As soon as I successfully troubleshoot the circut I will concentrate on doing the program before uploading the program to PIC 16F877A. Hopefully our (me and my friend) project will be a successful one. For your information, our project is building an automatic car window system using PIC.

PERKATAAN LAZIM YANG SERING KAUM HAWA SUKA GUNAKAN

2008-08-12T23:04:00.003+08:00

FINE

Ini la yang perempuan suka gunakan untuk hentikan pergaduhan, lebih-lebih lagi bila dia rasa dia yang betul dan anda kena diam. Jangan sekali kali gunakan perkataan ini untuk memberi gambaran rupanya, terutama sekali apabila dia sedang mencuba pakaian di kedai - hanya akan membawa anda berdua bergaduh.

LIMA MINIT

Ini sebenarnya setengah jam. Ianya sama jugak dengan lima minit yang perlawanan bola sepak akan berakhir sebelum anda membawa sampah ke luar, jadi ini adalah pertukaran yang seimbang.

TAKDE APA-APA

Ini bermakna "something" dan anda perlu berjaga-jaga! Perkataan ini melambangkan perasaan perempuan yang inginkan anda berputar-putar kat dalam macam mesin basuh. Selalunya, ini akan memulakan pergaduhan yang akan bertahan selama 'LIMA MINIT' dan diakhiri dengan 'FINE'.

PERGILAH! (dengan kening terangkat)

Ini adalah satu cabaran yang akan membuat si perempuan menjadi marah dengan 'TAKDE APA-APA' dan diakhiri dengan 'FINE'. PERGILAH (dengan kening biasa) Ini bermakna 'mengalah' atau 'buat je la apa yang awak nak sebab saya tak kisah'. Anda hanya akan mendapat situasi ini dan dalam beberapa minit diikuti dengan 'TAKDE APA-APA', 'FINE' dan dia akan bercakap kembali dengan anda dalam masa 'LIMA MINIT' apabila dia dah sejuk.

MENGELUH YANG KUAT

Ini sebenarnya bukanlah perkataan, tetapi kenyataan yang sering disalah anggap oleh kaum lelaki. 'MENGELUH YANG KUAT' bermakna dia merasakan anda adalah seorang yang bodoh ketika itu dan dia sendiri terfikir kenapalah dia menghabiskan masa berdiri di situ dan bergaduh mengenai 'TAKDE APA-APA'.

MENGELUH YANG PERLAHAN

Lagi sekali, ini bukanlah perkataan. 'MENGELUH YANG PERLAHAN' membawa maksud yang dia berasa puas. Adalah lebih elok jika anda duduk diam, jangan buat sebarang tindakan... dan dia akan kekal puas.

OKAY LAH

Ini adalah kenyataan yang paling merbahaya seorang perempuan boleh buat kepada lelaki. 'OKAY LAH' bermakna dia ingin berfikir panjang sebelum dia membalas terhadap perbuatan anda yang telah menyakitkan hatinya. 'OKAY LAH' selalunya digunakan dengan 'FINE' bersama 'Kening Yang Terangkat'.

BUAT LAH

Satu ketika di masa depan dalam masa terdekat, anda akan dilanda masalah yang besar.

TOLONGLAH

Ini bukan kenyataan, sebaliknya adalah pelawaan. Seorang perempuan memberi anda peluang untuk mengeluarkan sebarang alasan atau sebab di atas apa yang telah anda lakukan. Anda mempunyai peluang yang adil dengan kejujuran, jadi berhati-hati dan anda tidak akan mendapat 'OKAY LAH'.

TERIMA KASIH

Seorang perempuan mengucapkan terima kasih. Jangan pengsan. Terima dan ucapkan sama-sama.

TERIMA KASIH BANYAK-BANYAK

Ini banyak berbeza dari 'TERIMA KASIH'. Seorang perempuan akan menggunakan ini apabila dia dah terlampau marah pada anda. Ini menunjukkan yang anda telah menyinggung perasaannya dan akan diikuti dengan 'MENGELUH YANG KUAT'. Berhati-hati untuk tidak bertanya apa yang salah selepas 'MENGELUH YANG KUAT' kerana ini hanya akan membuat dia berkata 'TAKDE APA-APA'.

Bernie Mac Dies

2008-08-10T21:43:00.006+08:00

This news I just read from one of my friends' blog and it's really sad to hear another big Hollywood stars die. May Bernie Mac rest in peace and condolence to his family and his fans.
This articles was taken from my friend's blog, Hiero's blog.

Hollywood actor and comedian Bernie Mac died yesterday at the age of 50. He was hospitalized with pneumonia more than a week ago in Chicago and had been in a highly critical condition before he succumbed to his illness.

"When I got the call this morning, it was just devastating news. Let's face it: Bernie Mac was one of a kind. He was the best of the best in terms of giving you a good laugh." - Stella Foster, Chicago-Sun Times columnist.

Mac's film roles included the "Ocean's Eleven" series, "Friday," "Guess Who," "Mr 3000", "Get on the Bus," "Transformers" and "Bad Santa."

Erti Sebenar Persahabatan

2008-08-05T19:19:00.003+08:00

Hari itu, dua orang sahabat baik mengembara meninggalkan kampung mereka bagi mencari tempat yang lebih makmur untuk memulakan penghidupan baru. Setelah sehari bejalan, tiba-tiba tercetus perselisihan faham antara dua sahabat itu ketika mereka sampai di sebuah persimpangan.

Sahabat pertama, yang besar dan tegap tubuhnya, tanpa berfikir panjang telah menampar sahabat karibnya itu kerana tidak bersetuju supaya mereka mengambil simpang ke kiri. Sahabat yang ditampar tadi terkejut. Dia tidak menyangka sahabat karibnya tergamak berbuat demikian.

Air matanya bergenang. Sahabat yang kurus dan kecil badannya itu termenung seketika. Dia mengambil sebatang kayu, lalu memandang ke tanah.

'HARI INI SAHABAT BAIKKU TELAH MENAMPAR PIPIKU' tulisnya di atas pasir tempatnya berdiri.

Mereka terus berjalan meredah hutan dan bukit, hinggalah sampai di sebatang sungai yang dalam dan bertebingkan batu-batu besar. Dua sahabat itu meneguk air sungai tersebut dan kemudian, mandi untuk menyegarkan kembali badan yang letih.

Entah bagaimana, tiba-tiba sahabat yang berbadan kecil serta kurus itu tergelincir dari atas batu tempatnya berdiri, lalu dihanyutkan arus sungai yang deras. Hampir saja sahabat ini lemas. Tetapi dia bernasib baik kerana sahabat yang berbadan besar serta tegap, berjaya menyelamatkannya.

Di atas tebing yang dipenuhi batu-batu besar itu, sahabat yang berbadan kurus mengucapkan terima kasih kepada sahabat yang telah menyelamatkannya. Kemudian dia menulis pada permukaan sebongkah batu besar berhampiran sungai tersebut dengan perkataan, 'HARI INI SAHABAT BAIKKU TELAH MENYELAMATKAN NYAWAKU'.

Sahabat yang bertubuh besar itu terpinga-pinga. Dia bertanya,"Selepas aku menampar mukamu, kau tulis di atas pasir. Sekarang, selepas aku selamatkan kau daripada lemas, kau tulis pula di atas batu. Kenapa?"

Jawab sahabat yang bertubuh kecil, "Apabila seseorang melukakan hati kita, catatkan ia di atas pasir supaya ia akan terkambus apabila ditiup angin kemaafan. Tetapi apabila seseorang itu membuat kebaikan kepada kita, nukilkannya di atas batu supaya angin kemarahan tidak mampu memadamkannya."

Susu Ibu vs Bisa Ular Tedung

2008-08-01T14:41:00.003+08:00

Kenneth Hampson sedang memandu di sebuah kawasan belukar di Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, pada 2 November 1982, apabila keretanya tiba-tiba mengalami kerosakan. Lelaki itu turun lalu membuka bonet keretanya untuk mencari punca kerosakan. Tetapi sebaik penutup bonet terbuka, dia terkejut apabila seekor ular tedung selar muncul dari celah-celah engin kenderaannya.

Ular tersebut tidak memagut Kenneth, sebaliknya menyemburkan bisanya ke muka lelaki itu. Kenneth bergegas menyelamatkan diri sambil menekup mukanya yang terasa pedih dan panas. Penglihatanya juga menjadi kabur.

Kenneth bernasib baik kerana tidak berapa lama kemudian sebuah lori melalui kawasan berkenaan dan pemandunya turun menghulurkan bantuan. Lelaki kulit hitam itu seterusnya menolak Keneth ke arah isterinya yang ketika itu sedang menyusukan bayi. Kemudian, Kenneth diminta berbaring manakala wanita berkenaan menyemburkan susunya ke dalam kedua-dua belah mata lelaki itu.

Kenneth digegaskan ke Hospital Besar Bulawayo dan selepas diberikan rawatan, doktor mmberitahu sesuatu yang amat mengejutkannya. Kata doktor, tindakan wanita berkenaan telah menyelamatkan Kenneth daripada menjadi buta. Menurut doktor tersebut, semburan bisa dari ular tedung amat berbahaya. Ia boleh membunuh haiwan lain dan mampu membutakan mata manusia.

Bagaimanakah susu ibu boleh menawar bisa ular?

Jelas doktor, ini terjadi kerana susu ibu boleh meneutralkan neurotoxin, mencairkan racun serta melegakan kesakitan.

Seorang lelaki duduk di depan garaj keritanya apabila hujan mula menitis. Semakin lama, semakin lebat, air mula melimpahi longkang besar di depan rumahnya, lalu jadilah banjir kilat. Air terus naik hingga akhirnya sampai ke garaj tempat lelaki itu berada.
Sejam kemudian, sebuah bot penyelamat datang. Pasukan penyalamat tu bertanya, “Encik nak bantuan, tak?”
“Tak perlu! Tuhan akan melindungi saya,” jawab lelaki itu sambil berdiri di dalam air yang sudah paras lututnya.
Hujan terus lebat. Dua jam selepas itu, ketika lelaki berkenaan sedang berdiri di atas beranda, datang lagi sebuah bot penyelamat. “Encik nak bantuan, tak?” Tanya anggota pasukan penyelamat itu.
“Tak perlu. Tuhan akan melindungi saya!” jawab lelaki berkenan sambil tersenyum.
Hujan terus turun mencurah-curah. Tiga jam berlalu, ketika lelaki itu berdiri di atas bumbung rumahnya,sebuah helikopter sampai dengan membawa sepasukan anggota penyelamat.
“Mari kami selamatkan encik! Banjir makin teruk, nanti encik lemas!” jerit pasukan penyelamat dari dalam helikopter.
Lelaki itu tetap menolak. “Tak apa, Tuhan akan lindungi saya!”
Empat jam kemudian, air naik lagi dengan diiringi ribut dan petir. Akhirnya, rumah lelaki itu runtuh dan dia dihanyuti banjir. Lelaki itu terkapai-kapai, dan ketika nafasnya tercungap-cungap hampir mati, lelaki itu sempat memarahi Tuhan. Dalam hatinya lelaki itu menyumpah, “Tuhan! Aku sayangkan Engkau, tapi Engkau tak selamatkan aku?!!!”
Tiba-tiba lelaki itu terdengar satu suara, “Bukankah tadi Tuhanmu sudah hantarkan dua buah bot dan sebuah helikopter untuk selamatkan kau?”

Jawab Leman, "Engkau ingat tak rumah aku beli tahun lepas?Rumah aku kena banjirlah. Sampai ke bumbung. Jadi sekarang aku bercuti kat sini lepas dapat duit insurans dekat dua juta ringgit."
Si peguam yang bernama Mat itu terkejut. "Eh, Leman....macam mana engkau mulakan banjir itu?"

Pagi itu Aloya sampai ke pejabat dengan muka manis. Sampai tengah hari, senyum saja. "Aku gembira sebab pagi ni aku dapat bersedekah pada orang miskin," kata Aloya apabila ditanya oleh kawan-kawannya kenapa dia senyum tak sudah.

"Banyak ke kau sedekah?" soal kawan Aloya itu.
"$50 aja."
"Wah, banyak tu! Suami kau tak marah ke?"
"Tak. Dia cakap "Terima kasih, sayang. I love you!" balas Aloya.

Robbie Keane has denied claims that he 'let down' Tottenham after being unveiled as a new signing at Liverpool, the club he always supported.Robbie Keane has denied claims that he 'let down' Tottenham after being unveiled as a new signing at Liverpool, the club he always supported.

The Republic of Ireland international striker has completed a £20.3million move from White Hart Lane to Anfield, having been a Red all his life.

Keane, whose move has been heavily criticised by Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, will now make his debut on Wednesday in a friendly away to Villarreal.

Keane, 28, said: "I do not think I let Spurs down. I had six fantastic seasons there and gave them everything. Since day one.

"I always give everything, and that will never change. The Spurs fans were always magnificent to me and I will always have a place in my heart for them.

"But this is a new chapter in my life and one that I am looking forward to. I had six great years at Spurs and thank them for that.

"There are players leaving Spurs, but there are also good players coming in. I can only focus on Robbie Keane and what is good for me."

Keane will now wear the number seven shirt at Liverpool made famous by legends like Kenny
Dalglish and Kevin Keegan.

Keane said: "To wear that shirt is an honour, and something I truly understand. If I can have half as much success in it as Keegan and Dalglish did, I will be a happy man."

He added: "I've been waiting for this day since I was a kid. Everyone knows I am a massive Liverpool fan, so to be sitting here today in a Liverpool tracksuit is a dream come true.

"I always wanted to be a footballer as a kid, but also to play for Liverpool.

"Maybe you never feel it is going to happen. I could have come here as a teenager, but chose Wolves because I felt there would be more chance of immediate first team football, and that proved to be the case.

"Now I am enjoying every minute and I can't wait to pull on that red shirt.

"This is a massive club and want to do everything I can to make them even more successful.
"The reasons I left Spurs are that I am a huge Liverpool fan and the chance to play for them may never come around again.

"This opportunity is something I couldn't let go. I am at an age now when I believe I am at my peak, and aim to kick on.

"This is a great opportunity now for me, the whole package that Liverpool has to offer really inspires me.

"I am just grateful to be here. I love the club and this is the one dream I had still achieve."

Everyday Poem

2008-07-28T17:12:00.005+08:00

Hari-hari makan laksa
Sedapnya kuah ikan kelisa
Badan kuat serta perkasa
Selamat menyambut hari selasa

Menangkap ikan pakai bubu
Untuk hidangan nasi kerabu
Kenapa masih dalam kelambu
Ofis kau tutup ker hari rabu

Atas pokok ada penyegat
Anak kambing baunya hamis
Kenapa kau tak pernah ingat
Janji nak belanja aku hari khamis

Sudahkah anda tunaikan solat?
Solat wajib 2 rakaat
Bukannya apa cuma saje nak ingat
mana tau esk kiamat..selamat hari jumaat

Hari-hari minum air batu
minum sampai rahang kematu
tengah sibuk sangat ke tu?
Sampai tak ingat janji dating hari sabtu

Dari mana nama ELEKTRIK

2008-07-28T16:53:00.004+08:00

Orang Melayu dikatakan mengambil perkataan ELEKTRIK daripada perkataan Inggeris yang juga ELECTRIC. Tetapi yang sebenarnya, ELECTRIC itu diambil dari perkataan Melayu campur Inggeris.

Ceritanya... . Pada suatu masa dulu selepas setahun Thomas Edison mencipta lampu, saintis tidak pernah terfikir memberi nama kuasa yang menyebabkan lampu itu hidup. Jadi, entah macam mana semasa lampu mula-mula hendak diperkenalkan di Tanah Melayu, ada seorang Melayu yang bernama Kulup Kalimantang mati-mati tidak percaya pada hasil ciptaan Thomas Edison itu. Semasa demonstrasi diadakan oleh Thomas di Tanah Melayu untuk memperkenalkan lampu itu, Kulup Kalimantang pun berkata dengan kuat.

"Ele..trick aje tu... ele..trick aje... ele trick!". ( Bermaksud tipu )

Thomas Edison berfikir Kulup berkata begitu kerana mengatakan lampu menyala disebabkan oleh kuasa "ele..trick". Jadi digunakanlah perkataan "ELE..TRICK" yang dieja ELECTRIC mengikut ejaan orang putih. Sebagai mengingati jasa Kulup Kalimantang menamakan kuasa ELECTRIC itu, maka diciptalah sejenis lampu panjang yang dinamakan lampu kalimantang.
