Festival of Death

Yahudi laknatullah mengganas lagi. Aku pernah menyentuh tentang keganasan yahudi dalam entry yang terdahulu tentang pembunuhan beramai-ramai rakyat Palestine di Kem Jenin pada 2002. Kali ini, tahun 2008, pesta pembunuhan berlaku lagi...lebih ganas, lebih kejam, tanpa segan silu. Kali ini atas nama keselamatan negara terhadap ancaman puak Hamas, semenanjung Gaza di serang lagi. Episod duka ini akan berterusan tanpa noktah dan dunia Islam hanya mampu terkedu melihat saudara seislam dihujani bedilan peluru dan bom puak Yahudi laknatullah! Meminjam kata-kata Ustaz Zaharuddin, bantuan terpantas dari kita adalah qunut nazilah dan doa yang berterusan agar Allah SWT menurunkan bala untuk menghancurkan musuh-musuh Islam ini. Ya Allah Ya Tuhan Kami, Engkau hancurkanlah golongan Yahudi dan Nasrani yang memerangi umat Islam di muka bumi Mu ini, Engkau Satukanlah hati-hati kami umat Islam diseluruh dunia untuk menentang musuh-musuh Mu Ya Allah! Ya Munsyi'ussahab, Ya Haazimal Ahzab, Ihzim At Tho

A Birthday Note.

Since i was a kid , i never had a birthday party celebration. Not because we don't want to celebrate it, but my family has a unique style of celebrating the birthday party..i.e by not celebrating it! But i know that deep down inside of our heart, we care for each other, we love each other, we just have a different style of how to express our love and affection.. As for the past 5 years since i've been married, a birthday celebration then became the annual agenda for us, especially for our kids. For me, it is not about how grand will be the party or how precious is the gift been given but ,the most important thing is the value of the celebration; that you care for your loved one, that you appreciate them for being together through the years of living. It is all family affairs! So, here we go again today on every 23rd December of the calendar year..it is my 32nd birthday this year! I didn't expect a surprise today but i could smell that my wife has something in her mind.. sur

Scientists learn how what you eat affects your brain — and those of your kids

In addition to helping protect us from heart disease and cancer, a balanced diet and regular exercise can also protect the brain and ward off mental disorders. "Food is like a pharmaceutical compound that affects the brain," said Fernando Gómez-Pinilla, a UCLA professor of neurosurgery and physiological science who has spent years studying the effects of food, exercise and sleep on the brain. "Diet, exercise and sleep have the potential to alter our brain health and mental function. This raises the exciting possibility that changes in diet are a viable strategy for enhancing cognitive abilities, protecting the brain from damage and counteracting the effects of aging." Gómez-Pinilla analyzed more than 160 studies about food's affect on the brain; the results of his analysis appear in the July issue of the journal Nature Reviews Neuroscience and are available online at www.nature.com/nrn/journal/v9/n7/abs/nrn2421.html .

The Ten Habits of Highly Effective Brain

The LA Times just completed a wonderful 4-part series on how learning and memory work . The NYT re-emphasized the importance of physical exercise for neurogenesis (the creation of new neurons). To put this news in better perspective, let's review some good lifestyle options we can follow to maintain, and improve, our vibrant brains. 1. Learn what is the "It" in "Use It or Lose It". A basic understanding will serve you well to appreciate your brain's beauty as a living and constantly-developing dense forest with billions of neurons and synapses. 2. Take care of your nutrition. Did you know that the brain only weighs 2% of body mass but consumes over 20% of the oxygen and nutrients we intake? As a general rule, you don't need expensive ultra-sophisticated nutritional supplements, just make sure you don't stuff yourself with the "bad stuff". 3. Remember that the brain is part of the body. Things that exercise your body can also help sharpen

Memali : November 1985

Memali : a Democracy in rubbles (by Art Harun) “In the absence of justice, what is sovereignty but organised robbery?”: Saint Agustine Date: November 1985. Place: Malaysia. The Prime Minister was Mahathir Mohamad. Musa Hitam was the Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister. Malaysia was going through a bad recession. The price of its 2 main natural resources, tin and rubber, was at rock bottom. The Mahathir-induced “look east policy” was not working to Malaysia’s advantage. All it managed to do was to invite Japanese and South Korean contractors to undertake massive development works such as the then ground breaking Dayabumi project. Little else was being achieved from the policy apart from the mushrooming of Japanese restaurants around town. “Privatisation” and “sogo sosha” were the in-words at this time. On the other hand, the policy only managed to isolate Malaysia from its customary ally, the Great Britain and consequently, the United States. Economically, Malaysia was struggling.

Sejarah Mengajar Kita..

Sayu aku melihat gambar Tok Janggut* yang telah mati terkorban dalam perjuangannya menentang penjajahan British di Tanah Melayu..tak cukup dengan dibunuh, mayatnya digantung terbalik dan dihina kerana dianggap sebagai penderhaka. Aku abadikan gambar-gambar pejuang bangsa ini dalam entry kali ini sebagai mengenang jasa dan pergorbanan mereka yang tak ternilai harganya. Mereka telah membayar harga yang mahal sekali dengan darah dan nyawa mereka sebagai taruhan untuk generasi kini mengecap nikmat kemerdekaaan. Tok Gajah Kita masih mengingati nama-nama ini semasa mempelajari Sejarah di bangku sekolah, Tok Janggut di Kelantan, Mat Kilau dan Tok Gajah di Pahang, Hj Abdul Rahman Limbong dan Tokku Paloh di Terengganu, Rentap di Sarawak, Mat Salleh di Sabah, Dato' Maharajalela di Perak dan ramai lagi yang telah menggadai nyawa demi perjuangan mempertahankan tanahair daripada di jajah. Mereka semua adalah pejuang-pejuang bangsa yang telah digambarkan sebagai penderhaka oleh penjajah Britis
