Ke Pesta Buku Antarabangsa Selepas 5 Tahun

Salam.

Selaku non-avid reader but a tsunduko (orang yang beli buku tapi sampai ke sudah buat hiasan macam aku), kedai buku ni ibarat satu tempat untuk aku lenyap dalam dunia aku sendiri. Apatah lagi pesta buku.

Semenjak sudah bermukim di area hampir ke tengah ibu kota, yes aku dah pindah dari Selangor ke KL hujung tahun lepas, tahun ni dah ada partner untuk bersiar-siar di pesta buku dan seperti yang dirancang awal tahun ni, maka sampailah aku ke PBAKL 2025 yang bertempat di WTC, seperti kebiasaannya (sebab ada edisi tahun bila entah dia buat dekat tempat lain).

Perancangan kena detail, nak naik public transport ke naik kereta, nak bawak luggage ke beg sandang, nak kena keluar pukul berapa, nak stay mana, each nak allocate berapa ringgit.


So yang terjadi di hari kejadian, kami park motor dekat LRT Wangsa Maju sebelum naik LRT ke Masjid Jamek untuk tukar koc di laluan lain sebelum sampai LRT PWTC. Datang masing-masing menggalas beg, malas nak bawak luggage sebab rasa macam tak banyak kot buku nak beli. Lepas tu memang dah set, aku pergi sebab nak survey harga buku je, bukan beli pun. Tapi biasanya apa yang diset ni seperti nelayan, kelaut dia pergi!

Berhabuk!

 Sedar tak sedar, last aku sedar yang aku masih ada blog yang aktif adalah tahun lepas wicis the last entry aku pun dated back seawal Januari 2024 nyah!

Kat mana entah aku berhenti tulis pasal that one part of kisah hidup aku yang tak sempat habis karang tu? Nantilah aku rajin, aku sambung tulis.

Tatkala orang dah microblog, aku macam terpanggil nak hidupkan semula rutin bulanan aku semenjak zaman study membawa ke zaman tanam grapes sampailah sekarang - zaman dah kerja yang mana tiap hari asal bangun daripada tidur, the only thing yang aku look up to each day adalah waktu balik kerja.

So basically blog ni berhabuk lagi sekali dan banyak sebenarnya aku plan nak tulis so that in 15 years time, aku boleh baca balik tulisan tidak cukup umur aku. Kadang-kadang ni, kalau setakat kepingan gambar yang aku simpan dalam HDD, aku tak ingat pun gambar tu menceritakan tentang apa.

Whatever Happened in Those Years Part 2 : Berkhidmat Untuk Negara - Figuratively Speaking (COVID Edition)

 Salam.

Never ever on my mind yang perkataan Berkhidmat Untuk Negara dekat di hujung surat yang aku biasa karang tu boleh jadi satu kenyataan.

Bukanlah aku ni taknak berkhidmat untuk negara. Tapi dalam keadaan masa itu, tak terfikir pulak aku yang aku tiba-tiba kena panggil bertugas untuk jadi sebahagian daripada Petugas Barisan Hadapan Bukan Kesihatan semasa PKP dolu-dolu.

Alkisahnya...

Whatever Happened In Those Years Pt. 1: In A Nutshell

 Salam.

Wow! It’s been a roller coaster 5 years since my last entry.

5 tahun dalam sedar tak sedar aku membesar seiring dengan bertambahnya usia.

Dalam masa 5 tahun ni jugaklah aku dapat lihat yang blogging atau journaling itu bukan lagi jadi kegilaan orang zaman sekarang. Majoriti dah beralih ke microblogging seperti X, weibo dan sebagainya.

Apa yang nak di update ye?

Secara sepintas lalu:

  • 2018 - aku masih juggled between karier dan study nak habiskan degree.
  • 2019 - pun masih sama
  • 2020 - PKP bermula. Bermula jugaklah drama emosi dan kecelaruan mental aku yang banyak memporak porandakan self-esteem aku. Aku hilang kawan akibat ini jugak. Sedih wooo, bila orang yang kau duk harapkan sangat dapat bantu kau keluar dari fasa minda kelam menjadi manusia yang aku boleh letak sebagai masa silam

Short Update

Wow! A year has gone since the last time I wrote here. Assuming not many people these days use this kind of platform since we have the microblog platforms like Weibo and Twitter. So what do we expect?
So where did I left?

Yes, yes! the Samsung post.

It has been almost a year since I started working as a government servant and I am quite liking my job as though my income is not as much but I think I earn as much as I deserve.

I started to sort out everything - my photography hobby again. I am shifting the whole idea of capturing only landscape to street photography and photojournalism. After all these times, now I've realized how much I love street photography.

Anyhow, my first semester final exams result was released earlier today. Due to some technical issues, my result was put on hold from actually being released, all praises to Allah, I scored all As for my first semester, but there are more semesters to come and not to mention the elevating difficulties as well.

I end this short post with a photo I photographed this morning as soon as I reached my office.

The right moment remains unknown. Only time will tell. One could only strive for it, one could only hope for the best outcome out of it. Regrets, failures are unavoidable feelings. You feel pain, it is okay. It means you are relieving. Youth is the process of us growing maturer. Let all the unknown feelings linger inside you, you do not know what you could gain from these emotions.

Those heart-soothing wisdom.

I watch tonnes of Korean drama lately as I have TONNES of free time to be wasted by just looking at the small screen of my iPod and crying over those heart-wrenching stories. I know, it sounds a lil bit childish but come on, hear my cents out.

From what I've noticed by watching those dramas, it is better to presume that I love the way the scriptwriter(s) of each drama wrote the story line. Even though sometimes the stories ridicule realities but trust me, they are worth-watching because sometimes you have to fantasize over something, escape the bitter-tasted reality that we live within. You know, broaden up your imagination but don't over-fantasizing.

What I love the most from those Kdramas apart from the story line is their heart-soothing wisdom. I found them pretty consoling. Maybe because I once pictured myself as a writer and sometimes a cool person who can console broken souls by providing words of wisdom, y'know, a lil bit of a counselor myself.

I recently just finished watching 'Flower Boys Next Door', starred by Yoon Shi Yoon, Park Shin Hye etc. In the drama, Park Shin Hye is visualized as someone who has a past (well, everyone has a past) which by the way, is not so cool or good to be reminded of. Her past had turned her into a very difficult person; someone who has trouble to communicate with people around her, someone who always tries to lock herself in her room or house, someone who fears of the sound of knocking door, ringing phone, delivery and such. She has always been the one who shuts her feelings by any costs until one day when the flower boy (Yoon Shi Yoon) moves in the building across hers. The guy somehow manages to break the mold, the wall or whatever she had built resulted from her fears.

Nonetheless, I love the way the scriptwriter(s) approach(es) my guts and feelings with the beauty of words and how words can actually make me thinking, 'oh so this is how the girl feels and this is how the other characters feel', 'the word love itself can be defined differently according to one's favor'. You cannot judge people by solely taking one's opinion and resenting others' because that is not how a story, or even a chapter is made. Perspectives are considered as the flavors.

To end my rant, here's a screenshot of a scene from the drama.

A Malay Wedding

Recently, I attended a Malay wedding in Terengganu. Prior to the event, I have decided to shoot the event just to favor my growing interest in photographing people. On top of that, I have never done any wedding photography before.

The Dowry Presenters.



She's my sister and many people tend to say that we look alike.
The bride and groom's (together with their respective family) dining table.

Thanks to these fellas we finally were able to squeeze our thirst.
Frankly speaking, that was one hella wedding I've ever attended. Y'know, with the El Nino effect has taken place in Malaysia, the weather was scorching hot, and still is till this day.


Hence, my father decided to have this well-shaped fresh
coconut water to squeeze down the heat.
And yet we stay thirsty.

American Sitcoms and TV Shows.

I wasn't really a fan of any American sitcoms or TV Shows, not until I was introduced to The Nanny when I was in elementary school ( back in early 2003 or 2004 I think). Yeah, The Nanny was the first American sitcom I've ever saw on TV. It was aired on Hallmark Channel.
(At that time, the channel was available on Astro)


I still remembered how I was laughing so hard while watching the show as The Nanny was the funniest sitcom I've ever seen (at that time of course). Call me weird or whatnot, I remember I didn't really enjoy any Malaysian sitcoms (i.e. Pi Mai Pi Mai Tang Tu) as much as I enjoyed The Nanny, probably because before we starting to subscribe to Astro, we only had the basic three channels (TV1, TV2, TV3) to switch in between. In addition to that, we actually had to rotate the TV aerial pole if we wanted to switch the channel from TV1 and TV2 to TV3. What a hard life we've been through. I think that's the main reason I wasn't really into Malaysian sitcoms which most of them were aired on TV3. It's hard, you know, to rotate the tall pole and everything.

A few years later, The Nanny was no longer aired and the channel was replaced with DIVA Universal. So, no more my American sitcoms resources available. Other channels were not helping at all because they tend to air more complicated-plot TV shows rather than airing a sitcom or two on their networks. As time passed by, I started to living far away from home; enrolled myself in a boarding high school etc. so I've figured out my interest in American sitcoms or TV shows was completely gone. But I must admit that I was wrong. During semester breaks and I was home all the time, the only thing that kept me busy (other than sleeping) was watching American TV Shows. That was the first time I found out the existence of Chuck while it was aired on a network. I usually spent my time watching the CSI franchises with my sister but as soon as I watched Chuck, I felt like my interest in American sitcoms and comedy TV shows has resurfaced.

From that very moment, I tried to look up on the Internet if I could stream every episode online or maybe download all the episodes. It took me almost 5 years to figure out the solution to my problem. Thank God!
  • Thanks to Chuck for the great OSTs. My music preference has changed since then.
  • Thanks to Chuck for the great lessons I've learnt throughout the show, and yes, when it comes to family and friends, it is a number one priority.
A few years later, channel Hits was introduced as a part of Astro family pack and I was, and still am, a happy kid. The channel provides awards-winning American TV shows and sitcoms that were tremendously popular back in 1980-1990s, and still are.

I learned the existence of Cheers, Seinfeld, The Golden Girls, Mad About You etc. And my most favorite definitely is Seinfeld. Come on! It is the all-time-favorite TV Show, well obviously it is my opinion and opinions are differ for each individual, but hey, it is one of the most popular and is the most high rating TV Show even after the syndication re-run on many networks i.e. TBS, Hulu and whatnot.
Cosmo Kramer, George Constanza, Elaine Benes, Jerry Seinfeld

The show is definitely something else, with their 'no hugging and no learning' policy. I must say, even the show was first aired in 1989 and hey I wasn't even born yet, I got to say how much I love the show. It's really brilliant. If one claimed the show is a show about nothing (which is totally opposite to what proposed by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld), I would rather put it as a show about nothing and everything.

Even though the finale was claimed to be a failure and mixed audience reactions were received, I just think that the finale wasn't that bad actually. It differs to each individual. One might take a lesson or two from the show and one might take no lessons at all. Seriously, it is up to you who watch the show.

I personally love the cast reunion on Curb Your Enthusiasm S7E10, when they acted like they were actually taping Seinfeld (like they try to make another finale instead of the criticized-real-ending from the show). I don't know. I just think LD is so genius and the rest of the cast and crew as well.

Larry David, Jerry Seinfeld, Michael Richards (Kramer), Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Elaine),
Jason Alexander (George)
I actually love to see if there's any another possible reunion or Seinfeld project (i.e. Seinfeld movie perhaps) because I always feel happy and warm watching the cast and the show. I will always remember Kramer's unique entrances, Elaine's little kicks and thumbs out dance, the 'these pretzels are making me thirsty', 'yada yada' , 'no soup for you', 'anti-dentite' , 're-gifter' and many more. Too many to list out.

Instagram's latest version: Could it be the worst nightmare?


Just wasting my time painting the canvas lol
Today (or yesterday), Instagram has released the latest update of the app; available on google play and apps store. Apparently I haven’t update my devices to the latest version just yet.

You see here, I got a habit of delaying the updating activities for any apps installed on my electronic devices. The reasons might be, yes, I don’t like spending my internet quota on these activities, and b because I usually spend my time reading reviews written by those immediate-updaters (I named them as such to refer to those who are the first one to update the apps to the latest version) before I start thinking whether to update any particular applications or otherwise.
*Note how many times I used the word 'update' in one single paragraph LOL.

Okay now let’s go back to the purpose of why I’m writing this entry. Last night, while I was scrolling down my Instagram feed, I saw a photo uploaded by Instagram itself. What actually caught my attention wasn’t the photo's caption but rather the comments posted by users. Lots of people riled up to criticize or give out their feedback on the latest version of the apps. Most common comments I’ve read are 
  • The logout button is missing! Put it back on!
  • Where’s the switch account feature?
  • Help I cannot switch between accounts!
  • I have like more than 13k followers in my other account. Now that the switch and logout are missing, thanks to you, feel like I cannot update the account no more!
  • The update is suck! If you think this has made you a better social media platform, then I think you are very wrong! In any ways!
  • I really really hate this whole showing the best posts on your timeline thing. Like, seriously??
  • Do you really have to do that??
To be honest, I really don’t like the new Instagram’s feature of having our timeline no longer sorted chronologically as it should have been because that’s what a timeline is all about. I mean, come on! It maybe the best posts on my timeline but perhaps not according to my preference. The idea of turning on any users’ notifications is somehow dissed me. I’m sorry Instagram.
But thanks to them (the updaters) for providing such helpful and thoughtful comments or reviews regarding the apps because 
  • The apps developers would love their feedback as these hardworking developers would immediately go all out and in to fix the glitches found in the latest version of the application, thus the known glitches would be disappear forever when the next update/version is released in the nearest future. See that’s why the feedback section on Apps Store and Google Play is important.
  • The other users should aware if there are any problems with the apps before updating the apps on their devices. It is each user’s responsibility when it comes to self-awareness, thus the ‘SELF’ there. Users should not be a lazy bum to read the reviews because this is a healthy trick for them to make a wise decision; should or shouldn’t I update the apps or not just yet?
It is important to note that an update doesn’t necessarily mean that every glitch or bug found in the previous version of a particular apps is ‘gone’ gone, forever disappear or whatever the term you’re using. Basically an update means the apps has been tweaked in any ways to suit and satisfy users’ needs. That’s the reason why for an apps/ software, the version number comes after their name
 eg: Instagram v7.19.0 < the latest version of Instagram.



My friend texted me about the disappearance of Clear Search History button on Instagram. She updated the apps this afternoon and somehow couldn’t find the named button. A few buttons are missing and I hope everyone’s handling this kind of situation very well and wisely.

But hey, there’s always a trick to get the previous version of any apps back installed on your devices. If your device is running on Android platform, try to google  'instagram’s version (ie: instagram version 17) .apk file free download', download the file to your device and install it but make sure to allow the installation of apps from sources other than the Google Play Store on your device. (in the device setting)

If your device is running on iOS platform, replace the .apk file with .ipa file instead before googling them. To install any .ipa file on your iOS devices, I would recommend you to use iFunBox (a software available for PCs) and be sure that your device is connected to your PC to do so.
Then you’re good to go!
(I explained this here)

Anyway, how do you find the latest version of  Instagram? Me favor the previous one rather than this one. It's up to you people to get the latest version or not. There're always these two stores:

Mati itu pasti.

Assalamualaikum wbt.

Dah lama tak menaip. Almaklumlah, sibuk sangat menyibukkan diri yang takdelah sibuk mana ni.

Semalam aku dan jiran-jiran telah dikejutkan dengan berita pemergian jiran kami sekeluarga yang meninggal ekoran kemalangan jalan raya di sekitar Paloh. Kejadian tersebut telah mendapat liputan media-media tempatan.

Aku taknak mengulas dengan lebih lanjut tentang kemalangan tersebut sebab aku pun bukanlah orang yang berada di tempat kejadian.

Nak baca dengan lanjut klik disini.

Point penting yang aku nak ketengahkan kat sini ialah, mereka semua itu masih muda, si isteri dan suami belum pun mencecah 30 tahun dan bayi itu pun tak sampai lagi setahun umurnya.

Aku sebenarnya agak lambat tahu pasal ni sebab aku masa tu tengah mengaji dalam bilik aku masa aku dengar mak aku bising-bising. Aku pun malas nak ambil pusing sebab ingatkan mak aku membebel pasal apa. Usai solat isya', aku tanya mak aku,
Abah pergi mana?
 Abah pergi hospital. Faizah meninggal dunia petang tadi.
Hah?
 Faizah yang kerja dekat pejabat tu meninggal, Accident dengan lori balak. Dia dan anaknya meninggal di tempat kejadian. Si suaminya kritikal, sekarang dekat hospital.
*Perbualan sebenar telah diubah bagi memudahkan aku menulis, sebab perbualan asal 150% dalam Kelantan.

Bila aku tahu pasal realiti tu, terus rasa tersentap dekat hati tak tahu kenapa. Kebetulan pulak aku baru habiskan bacaan terjemahan QS Ali 'Imran dan dalam surah itu ada menyebut :

ihsan Google. Terngiang-ngiang translation ayat ni dekat kepala.
Aku takdelah kenal sangat dengan arwah sekeluarga tapi selepas mengetahui musibah tersebut, aku secara automatik rasa takut sangat.

  • takut apabila orang yang tinggal berdekatan dengan rumah sendiri telah dijemput menghadap-Nya.
  • takut apabila sedar yang dijemput itu masih lagi muda. Sesungguhnya ajal itu tidak mengira usia.
  • takut apabila refleks diri sendiri, dan tersedar amalan aku dekat dunia ini rasa macam lagi sikit dari dosa yang aku buat. Astaghfirullahal 'adzim.
  • takut sekiranya ajalku menjemputku sewaktu aku tengah bermaksiatan. Na'uzubillah min zalik.
  • takut sekiranya aku tidak sempat bertaubat.
At the moment, aku berfikir sejenak. Selama aku hidup 20 tahun berbulan-bulan ni, apa sebenarnya yang telah contribute kepada agama aku, ibu bapaku, keluargaku dan para mukmin dan muslim yang lain. Memanglah dalam doa selepas solat itu selalu sahaja disebut,
Ya Allah, panjangkan umurku agar aku dapat berbakti kepada agama, ibu bapa etc.
Tapi yang paling aku takut sekiranya segala doa yang baik-baik itu sekadar wishful thinking dan aku tak pernah berusaha untuk mencapai hajat aku itu, sekadar wishful thinking walaupun sesudah ajal menjemputku. Mintak simpanglah bak kata orang Melayu.

Aku bukanlah nak bertazkirah dalam entri kali ini tapi sekadar ingin meluahkan perasaan aku. Jauh lagi dari ingin mendapatkan pujian dan menjadi riak kerana sesungguhnya itu hanyalah racun kepada imanku yang sedia lemah ini.

QS Ali 'Imran 3: 185
Semoga kita sentiasa mengingati-Nya dan sentiasa berada di bawah lembayung rahmat dan keredhaan-Nya. Semoga Allah menetapkan iman dihati-hati kita semua dengan seteguh-teguh keimanan dan ketakwaan. Semoga kita dijauhi dari segala malapetaka. Semoga hati ini ditetapkan dengan sifat-sifat mahmudah dan dijauhkan dari sifat-sifat mazmumah yang dimurkai-Nya. Semoga kita beroleh kebahagian dan kesenangan di dunia dan akhirat, dikurniakan jodoh dan zuriat yang sentiasa beramal soleh, sentiasa diberi kesihatan dan kesejahteraan. Amiin ya Rabbal 'Alamin.

Show Your Support!

Howdy mates!

It's been forever since my last entry. Just got the chance to spare my time to update this blog.

Anyway, this entry is mainly focusing on my just-published self-made website. Yeah, You heard it right. After all these years, I've just come to realize my passion in photography and decided to come out with a website. Well, I had my Viewbug account set up (some time in 2014) and barely manage the account as I was busy with something else at that moment. Now that my schedule is wide open, I decided to restart off fresh this interest of mine which I once had buried it deep underneath the ground of mine. Hence, I started to reorganize my Instagram feed. I used to have two different Instagram accounts (my personal affair and my photography instinct account : akmalgraphy) but I somehow deleted the latter. Like I wrote earlier, I wanted to restart off fresh, hence all the website, Instagram feed doing. And I started to manage my viewbug account once again.


my weebly website.
Do not forget to visit my viewbug account.

Dear all, please show me your support and thank you for taking your time to read the entire entry.

Travelogue : Kuala Besut

Last month, my family and I (minus my sister) went to Kuala Besut for a family day. But I'm not gonna confide much on the whole family day thing 'cause what I'm about to write here is how spectacular the place is.

On Friday, we kicked off our journey to Demong Beach Resort at 7.30 am-ish. Too bad for me because I'm not really a morning person, basically getting myself up early in the morning and having a very very cold shower, vocationally speaking, clearly a total nausea-driven situation, at least for me.

I'd just skip the whole breakfast, stopping by a gas station, buying some lunch part as I don't find it important for this entry. After a few hours of tiring and boring journey, we were finally almost there. Kuala Besut is all about beach or sea or whatever.

Close-up.
The best part of the day was to catch a glimpse
of boats floating on not-so-clear water.


The resort.

Lunchie
Had our dinner
My bro while waiting  for his turn to
perform dikir barat
 
Spot my abah there! 
On the very next day,

typical nasi lemak with keropok ikan on top
for you...  like autumn leaves
*singing Ed Sheeran's*
 Despite mingling ourselves with the crowd, Abah and I decided to get out of the resort and having nasi dagang instead. After that, abah took me to Kompleks Pendaratan Ikan LKIM, Kuala Besut. The main reason for him taking me there was to buy some fish but he didn't buy any. So I took this liberty of getting to know more on how fishermen or fishmongers work 'cause I had never seen it before. It's kinda a blessing for me, being able to witness such scene. A new experience, I might add.



LOADS of Fish.
 I know this entry is getting boring and boring for you to read but, hey, I just finished writing the story! With that, till the next entry!

Sambutan Sempena 20 tahun di Bumi


Alhamdulillah. Pada 13 Sept lepas, usiaku telah menginjak satu lagi angka. Kini umurku tiada lagi belasan tahun seperti tahun tahun dulu.


Cheeewah. Macam tengah tulis novel pulak aku rasa. Ada bakat ada bakat.

Tapi betullah part dah takde bunyi ___ belas kalau orang tanya usia aku.
Terasa diri ini begitu tua T_T!

Tahun ini punya birthday celebration lain sikit dari tahun sebelumnya sebab
A) Biasanya aku sambut dengan kawan-kawan dekat sekolah dan kolej. Kalau bernasib baik, sambut dengan family dekat rumah nun.
B) Tahun ni takde hadiah berbalut kertas pembalut T_T! (bajet selama ni ada orang kasi hadiah dalam kotak je kau ni!)
Disebabkan aku masih berada di UTM dengan kakak aku, kami buatlah majlis kecil-kecilan. Memang kecil gila sebab kitorang dua orang je yang hadir ke majlis tersebut.HAHAHAHA AKU PASRAH

Plan pada asalnya kami nak pergi  Pasar Tani yang aku sendiri tak pasti kat mana lokasinya. Aku siap kunci jam pukul 8.30 pagi tapi ended up TERbangun pukul 11 pagi. So, terus jadi pasar taknak.
(kurang asam punya toto empuk, sedap aku tidur tak ingat dunia)

Setelah menjamu sarapan+makan tengah hari, akak aku dengan tidak sengajanya menerima lawatan tanpa notis oleh migraine .memang rosak plan. So,akak aku mengambil keputusan untuk tidur bagi melegakan kesakitan tersebut manakala aku pula bukak laptop layan movie Parker lagi best.

Pada malam itu, kami menggagahkan kaki melangkah ke AEON JUSCO untuk kali ke berapa entah pada bulan tersebut dan menuju ke Pizza Hut. Sampai sampai terus cari meja. Of course lah, takkan nak cari jodoh pulak ye. HAHAHAHA okay hambar,

Ni antara yang kami lahapkan pada malam itu.

Mushroom soup to start with

First time mencuba pizza segi empat ni

Kuhiris pizza itu menggunakan pisau tersebut
dengan sopannya agar tidak tercalar piring itu
Secret Recipe's Choc Indulgence

Aku pesan Spaghetti Bolognese, one of my favorites.

Spaghetti Shrimp apa entah nama dia.
Sedaaaap

Tak muat table tu.
Maklumlah, tangan aje dah telan suku meja

Kau bajet kau chomel buat muka seperti itu??

Sekian sekitar sambutan hari lahirku. Alhamdulillah, perut kenyang seminggu.


Ada satu cerita kelakar pasal ais-krim diatas. Lepas kami penat menjamu perut memasing, lepaklah dekat pizza tu kejap sambil main talipon memasing. Tak lama lepas itu, tetiba pelayan hantar dua cup aiskrim comel seperti diatas. Baru kami teringat yang set kami pesan tu ada aiskrim. Nasib baik tak bayar dan blah dari pizza lagi. Rugi kot. Aiskrim kot. Okay, tak kelakar pun sebenarnya cerita tu. Tapi memberi motivasi jugakla kan untuk kita sabar menunggu. Lewlz

Halal Slaughter vs Haraam Slaughter

Assalamualaikum wbt  salam Jumaat everyone.

Recently, I've come across a Facebook post that had caught my attention.The post was about how to differentiate between Halal slaughter and Haraam slaughter in detail that some of us, muslims,might have overlooked. I copied and pasted the post as followed:
My dear brothers and sisters. We have a very wrong understanding about the meaning of halal slaughter. I was asked by a non muslim professor once what makes a meat halal and i didn't know an explanation and was embarrassed but gave a vague answer saying that we say the prayer before we cut, that makes it halal. I came back and went through hadiths and articles written by Muslim scholars and finally came to an understanding. I am going to explain it to you in a scientific way so that Insha Allah in the future if anyone asks you the same question you will be prepared to give this answer. 

WHAT MAKES A MEAT HALAL OR HARAM? 
Ans: It is the undrained blood that contaminates the meat makes it haram. 
What these non-Muslim butchers do is completely chop of the head as a result of which the connection between the brain and the heart is lost hence the heart stops pumping/beating almost instantaneously therefore there is no driving force to push the blood out of the body. As a result of this the blood stagnates in the veins and arteries and contaminates the meat. Scientifically it is proven that blood is one of the best culture mediums to grow bacteria. Consuming meat contaminated with blood makes humans more vulnerable to infections and joint pains. Joint pains because of high uric acid levels in blood. 
SO WHAT IS HALAL WAY?? 
Ans: In halal way we do not chop off the head completely but instead we cut the main vein (jugular vein) in the neck first. (This vein contains venous blood in high pressure and it directly connects to the atrium of the heart without any interference). This method of slaughtering preserves the connection between the brain and the heart which allows neural transmissions to be delivered. This keeps the heart pumping/beating until all the blood is drained off completely from every vein and artery in the body making the meat pure and thus halal. 
SUBHANALLAH.

SO THE NEXT QUESTION IS WHAT MAKES FISH HALAL EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT SLAUGHTERED THIS WAY?? 
Allah SWT has created fish in such a way that the moment it is removed from water the entire blood in its body is redirected to a part called the epiglottis in its mouth which turns bright red thus indicating that the blood is drained and the meat is pure. 
SUBHANALLAH 
*Please share and educate others as well.

To end this entry, here's to #quoteoftheday

Never frown,
because you never know when
someone is falling in love with your smile.

Aku, Dia dan Dinosaur

*the following entry is in multilingual / entri berikut dalam pelbagai bahasa

Ingat tak entri aku yang lepas berkenaan pengembaraan aku ke Johor? well,kalau korang termissed boleh klik pada link dibawah.
Basically, aku dan kaklong pada hari seterus dua terus tiga terusnya pergi ke AEON Jusco Taman Universiti. Hampir tiap hari jugaklah sebenarnya kitorang lepak sana. Saje saje cari air-cond. Maklumlah bilik takde air-cond.

Sampai je sana, terus pergi serbu bahagian sosej, sebab nak rebus and makan sebagai sarapan. Tapi kan, sarapan lah sangat kan kalau dah bangun tu pun dah nyaris Zuhur. HAHAHAHAHHA.

Model Jusco Tmn U, bahagian sejuk beku

Nak dipendekkan cerita yang memang sedia pendek ni, aku TERambil sepaket / pek / whatever MAMEE Monster perisa Barbecue dan kemudiannya pergilah kami membayar di kaunter.

Balik balik bilik, terus melahap MAMEE yang TERbeli dan TERbayar tadi. bukak aje plastik dia nampak seekor dinosaur kecil yang amat dan cute aje aku tengok. Aku decided nak bela dinosaur tu. Siap snapped gambar beliau diatas air tin aku lagi.


Selepas snap, kita makan eskrem cecah roti
Penjagaan seekor dinosaur tersebut agak rumit.
  1.  Rendam dinosaur tersebut didalam air paip selama beberapa hari.
  2. ......
Perbandingan antara 'Biawak' dengan gayung

disebabkan kami agak noob dengan trick yang dah berzaman ni, maka agak kerap jugaklah duk terjenguk jenguk dinosaur tu. Oh ya, kami panggil beliau 'Biawak' sebab rupa dia macam kucing.
Eh takdelah, sebab dia macam biawak lah. 

Beberapa hari setelah pembesaran 'Biawak' dieksperimentasikan, kakak aku memaksa aku untuk membuang beliau kerana dikhuatiri pembiakan nyamuk aedes. Takpe takpe, sebab aku pun tak boleh nak brain ayat akak aku.

Bubye babehh
