Frightening or Amazing?

What if you met someone who can tell you your real attitude and your behaviour much better than yourself by:
ONLY LOOKING AT YOUR PALM

That what happend to me today..

I met this wise, old man who he called himself my godfather...

He only had a glimpse of my palm and he could summarize my whole life in front of me...

Amazing? or frightening?

He told me a lot of things that made me look back on how I lead my life...

He told me my real attitude and even scolded me on my behaviour...

Nevertheless everything he said made perfect sense and totally hit my face...

He told me a lot of advices that I will cherish forever...

And after each advice he asked me to thank him...

So to my new Godfather

THANKS A MILLION

I will never forget you and the way you looked at me...

My holiday so far

One word I can summarize my whole holiday..

FAILURE

Why?

Because all the things I planned before the holidays fall apart one by one...

Many expectations, many dreams, many hopes but non of them came a reality...

It's true that WE SHOULD NEVER EXPECT TOO MUCH out of somethings..

I may be exxagerating by saying that non of my plans came through for the holidays...

Despites these failure, there are still rays of

SUCCESS

Among those things that I can be proud of during my holiday are:

1) The most memorable, meaningful, adventerous trip to INDONESIA...I really wanted to share my experiences but I'm so bad in expressing my feelings...IMAM UK & IRE asked me to document my experiences there, but I don't know where to start...

I really missed my new friends in Indonesia...although we just met for the past 4 days but the ukhuwwah that were built I will cherish forever...may Allah reunite us again in Jannah or in Turkey next year...I really looking foward to meet them again...

For the first time I felt really bad to leave a camp...before this, I can't wait to leave such camps...maybe due to this time I'm all alone and I totally depend on these new relationships and this made me SO SAD to say goodbye (now I know how the AF participants' feelings - their tears were not for the votes)....

Love you guys...

2) Keep in contact with all my friends until I was declared the busiest man in the house due to the number of calls and sms I got...

3) Plannning a trip to Pulau Perhentian...we're going this Sunday...hopefully we'll have a blast...

4) Get involved in IMAM Pre Departure Camp...although I tought the commitee are not united and things are really messy...anyway I managed to get involeve...bajet penting istilah lain...

5) M03A reunion...we'll see this Saturday...

FAILURE

1) I'm gaining more weight...BAD DIET and A LOT OF FAST FOOD is the key...

2) Family holiday down the drain....going together to my sister graduation day is not a holiday...

3) Did'nt do anything to sharpen my skills as a doctor e.g. Hospital attachment and Sunathon (wanted to go actually but hmmmm.....)

4) Read a book....

5) M03A reunion to place far2 away...

Thinking it all over again my holiday wasn't a total failure...there're still some success...

Nevertheless there are another a month and a half to decide...it's too early to decide it now and maybe the verdict can change...

Anyway..that's all for tonite...

Bye

Salam

My Good Friend There


Thanks For Being There For Me

What Made Zidane Got A Red Card

Got this interesting article...I'm sure most of you had known the story but it's a suprise to me to know the reason of his action (have'nt got the chance to know the latest news while in Indonesia)..

Zizou, Zizou, Zizou: Islamophobia di padang bola

Maszlee Malik


"Zidane was the magician in the game." Pele

"Zidane is one of the greatest players in history" Franz Beckenbauer

"Zidane…You are a virtuoso, a genius of world football. You are also a man of the heart, of commitment, of conviction, and that's why France admires and loves you" Chirac (Presiden Peranchis).

"Zizou for president" , Penyokong-penyokong pasukan bolasepak Peranchis

" Dewan Pemuda PAS Pusat (DPPP) merakamkan setinggi penghargaan kepada ketua pasukan bolasepak Perancis, Zinedine Zidane yang dinobatkan sebagai Pemain Terbaik Piala Dunia 2006 di Jerman kali ini", Harakahdaily (13/7/2006)

... (some of uninteresting paragraph being removed)


Walau bagaimanapun di akhir kejohanan Mondeal tersebut saya telah dikejutkan dengan satu insiden yang besar. Bukanlah kekalahan Peranchis yang memeranjatkan saya, tetapi insiden berbau "Islamiphobia" yang berlaku di pandang bola Berlin. Insiden yang telah menyebabkan kapten pasukan bolasepak Peranchis, Zinadene Zidane telah diprovokasi dengan pelbagai ucapan berbau perkauman dan islamiphobic oleh pemain Itali, Marco Materazzi. Provokasi tersebut telah mengundang tindak balas agresif dari Zidane yang telah menghantukkan kepalanya ke dada Materazzi. Natijahnya, beliau telah dikenakan kad merah, hanya 10 minit sebelum perlawanan akhir Mondeal itu berakhir.

Pihak media pada mulanya telah menyalahkan Zidane yang dikecam sebagai "panas baran" dan "hilang akal". Akhirnya kesemua tuduhan yang dilemparkan senyap apabila Zidane telah muncul membela dirinya di dalam kenyataan akhbar yang mendapat liputan meluas di peringkat antarabangsa. Zidane telah menjustifikasikan tindakannya itu kerana bertindak balas terhadap cacian Materazzi terhadap ibunya dan saudara perempuannya. Zidane, walau bagaimanapun menafikan kenyataan salah sebuah akhbar anti-perkauman di Paris yang mengatakan Materazzi telah melabel Zidane sebagai "Terrorist" (pengganas) lantas membuatkan beliau naik angin.

Pakar membaca gerakan bibir dan forensik dari Britain, Jessica Rees di dalam kenyataan beliau kepada akhbar The Times mengatakan, Materazzi sememangnya telah membuat kenyataan perkauman tersebut. Menurut Rees, Materazzi telah mengatakan bahawa Zidane adalah "son of a terrorist whore" (anak kepada pelacur pengganas). Rees menambah lagi, setelah mengamati video makian Materazzi itu berkali-kali, beliau juga mendapati bahawa Materazzi telah menucapkan juga "so just f*** off' for good measure" (Pergi berambus lebih baik). Kenyataan Rees ini telah disokong oleh pelbagai pihak. Antara mereka yang menyokong adalah akhbar "The Daily Mail" dan juga akhbar "The Independent". Para penyokong dan peminat bolasepak seluruh dunia pun agak bersetuju dengan pendapat ini.

Apa yang dapat kita simpulkan di sini?

Setiap orang berhak membuat analisa mereka yang tersendiri. Setiap orang mempunyai persepsi mereka yang tersendiri. Apa yang pasti, insiden tersebut telah mencerminkan wajah sebenar dunia masakini. Materazzi dan Zidane hanyalah dua aktor yang meneruskan skrip yang sama diulang dan ditayangkan oleh aktor-aktor lain. Skrip yang agak monotenous ini merupakan satu wajah yang dipaksakan kepada penduduk dunia. Skrip tersebut malangnya bertemakan "Islamiphobia". Tidak kiralah samada yang mengucapkan itu Materazzi, atau Pat Paterson, atau Jerry Farewell, atau Bush, ataupun para kartunis Jyllen Posten. Kesemuanya membawa mesej yang sama...Islamiphobia. Ide dan propaganda zaman kegelapan (medievel) Eropah kini muncul kembali. Kemunculannya kali ini agak lebih agresif dan lebih global. Lebih parah, propaganda Islamiphobia alaf ini turut sama menyerang tanah air umat Islam dan masyarakat Islam itu sendiri.

Jika insiden yang menimpa Zizou itu berlaku di Eropah, ianya dimaklumi. Jika ianya dikeluarkan oleh Materazzi, ianya juga maklum. Jika yang membawa racun-racun Islamiphobia itu adalah para orator Kristian Evangelist juga, ianya agak maklum. Namun, jika ianya berlaku di Malaysia sendiri, dikeluarkan oleh mereka yang dilahirkan oleh seorang ibu yang Muslim, ataupun dikeluarkan oleh non-Muslim di tanah air yang dinobatkan sebagai Negara Islam Hadhari...apakah ianya boleh diterima?

Inilah hakikat yang melanda tanah air kita dewasa ini. Media berbahasa Inggeris semakin berani menampakkan belang "Islamiphobic" mereka. Segala berita dan kenyataan yang berbau Islam akan diwarnakan dengan grafiti-grafiti yang negatif. Kenyataan berat sebelah pihak yang berbau Islamiphobic akan mendapat liputan meluas dan akan disensasikan. Kenyataan balas yang lebih rasional dan mematahkan hujah mereka yang prejudis akan di"khatan"kan. Akhirnya kenyataan balas, akan dilihat dengan hambar, lesu dan kadang-kadang sengaja diprovokasikan. Fenomena inilah yang telah dibawa oleh Muslim Profesional Forum kepada pihak media dan pihak berkuasa. Persoalan yang sering dipersoalkan oleh MPF, "Mengapakah Islamiphobia begitu ketara di dalam media di Malaysia?"

Uniknya Islamiphobia di Malaysia ini, ianya diperjuangkan oleh orang Melayu sendiri. Tidak kiralah jenama dan ideologi apa yang mereka tonjolkan, namun mesejnya adalah sama. Islam tidak patut lebih diistimewakan di Malaysia. Islam mesti tunduk kepada kehendak rakyat dan juga tuntutan non-nuslim. Umat Islam tidak berhak mendapat kedudukan istimewa di Malaysia, begitu juga dengan agama Islam dan undang-undang Islam. Para ilmuan Islam tidak berhak untuk campurtangan di dalam urusan kehidupan. Islam perlu diubah menurut kehendak nafsu. Islam perlu mengiktiraf "kebenaran" agama lain. Islam tidak perlu lagi!

Samada yang membawanya itu berlogokan "hak asasi manusia", "hak untuk murtad", "kebebasan beragama", "Pluralisme aqidah (dan bukan sosial)", "liberal", "feminisme" dan apa-apa sahaja, ianya tetap menjayakan agenda "Islamiphobia".

Persoalan yang patut kita fikirkan, "Kemanakah "Zidane" di Malaysia ini untuk memperjuangkan hak Islam dan umat Islam?". Jikalaulah Zidane sanggup dilayangkan kad merah demi mempertahankan maruah ibunya, tidak adakah Zidane di Malaysia ini untuk mempertahankan Islam?

Viva la Zizou!

RESPECT YOU ZIDANE...

A Taste Of Distate

ARGGGGHHH!!! I'M SO DAMN LAZY

I'm totally dysfunctional during this LONGGG summer holiday...binging and sleeping all day long...wake up only at 1 pm..laying on the bed with my APPLE on my chest surfing cluelessly..luckily Malaysia has no bandwidth limit...download has been the second most crucial thing in my life nowadays after breathing...thinking of it again maybe the third after EATING ENDLESSLY (please don't gain any weight)... I wish I'm back in IRELAND...I missed my books so much (how geeky I sound -permission from Nash to use his word -btw great review on 1515)...

Adding salt to the wound....argghhhh GERMANY and ENGLAND lost...lost interest to watch WC anymore.... but a bit happy when Brazil lost as well...

Wanted to go out...but all my friends are scattered all around Malaysia...I really have to start looking for a KL friend....REALLYYY....

I totally dislikes this feeling...thank God I have a 1 week outing next week to INDON...hopefully that will be fun...I have a lot of things planned for August...I hope everything works as planned...

You guys might wonder why I wrote in red...It figuratively represent how DEPRESSED I'm now...No wonder Unipolar and Bipolar Depression is the FIRST cause of DALY among women in USA (totally unrelated but WHO CARES!!!!!!!!!)

My life is now like an EMPTY VOID..............

AND I BLAMED THIS ALL ON THE SUN....
