SKA RéVOLUTION

2012-02-14T05:34:00.005+08:00

Things keep on amazing me..not in a good way, yet. Timing can be bad for everyone. Past after past, present after present, challenge after challenge. Sometimes I wonder when theres gona be a full stop? I guess when circumstances change, we sorta change. And the fittest win. Not because theyre strong literally, but because they have the ability to adapt. When Darwin proposed his theory of 'Survival of the Fittest' to Mankind, I wonder whether he considered the humans changing their original values or principles that we possess with relations to adaptibility. That is why humans are so different than any other creatures. We possess the will and freedom to choose. At the stage of adaptation, you may choose to swim by the challenges without sacrifising what you hold dear, say for example: religious values, morality, principles, beliefs, fundamentals, etc. OR you can choose to go beyond- to infringe one's promises or vows to each other.

I find it strange of me, being hung up on something I care so much when it cares so little for me. To think that you learn anything after living for 26 years. No degree, or in my case, masters degree can cure you from it. Maybe it can distract you and assist? I dont knw only time can tell. But if only we could respect each other, understand each other's needs and set aside our ego, circumstances can be taken to a better place. But when you lose hope, when all the while hoping, it eats you inside. It makes you drown. 'I said to my soul, be still and wait without hope; for hope would be hope for the wrong thing' - T.S. Eliot.

All the while you forget that you are worth fighting for. And that there is no reason to linger when youre left with an expectation that does not want to exist. You forget that after all youve been through, you are stronger than you think or know. Its just so uncool to make contact with your past when one is saying how alone one feels. It makes it so...wrong. You feel betrayed by, I cant believe Im saying this, SOCIAL NETWORK! :) Yeah yeah I know its the person and not the technology to be blamed. Does that mean I should contact my past too? No, I think not. Id prefer making new memories with new people to reciprocate the old, dull & selfish past. I always wonder why girls like me are so...safe? Hmm never thought that I am because in person Im wild and crazy and excited for new, challenging things! But somehow I respect the institution of being as one, so much so I let it get in my way. There must be a balance womannn. Then again maybe I should just let it pass me by, let the rest be history and go on as if nothing has changed. For my own sake. And see how it goes again?

Here I leave, a very very old sonnet, that gives you some indication why life should move forward even after the cards have fallen.

Sonnet 116 by W. Shakespeare~
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

Mending a broken heart through a little writing

2012-02-10T06:30:00.007+08:00

I must be reading and surfing for hours to not notice there is snow falling. No wonder everyone is making so much noice. They are parading outside, making snowman and rolling snowballs. Sejuuukkkk

Currently figuring out topics for my dissertation. Was making certain some views of Islamic scholars are included in it, if not most. Since the class and the world is so adamant about "secularism", Ive decided to bring matters into my on hands and instill it in my personal dissertation instead :)

Apart from surfing and reading, Ive been glued to my ultrabook for one other thing: Sex and the City. Thats right people, only now am I introduced or exposed to the whole jimbang on the series! I hvta tell ya, carrie b. inspired me to write this post LOL. Carrie's bodylingo reminds me of Katrina K. for some reason hmm..

Anyway, im living in a hostel flat w a lot more others. But on my particular flat, flat 31, Im surrounded w 3 scandinavian girls and 1 russian guy. The girls are sweet, humourous, and for strangers, they can be considered quite understanding. 2 of the gals are from Finland and 1 is Swedish. Up til now I havent met the Russian dude of Room 05. Ive met his Russian friend tho, weird huh. The girls exposed me to late night supper of bread (small piece of waffle to us Msians), cheese, tomatoe and salt. Sometimes yogurt, yuummm. All Ive been eating is cereal. I recently innovate myself and cut few fresh strawberries to be included in my supper. Winter can get you eating like an oink oink! Here are some pictures of food, snow and family.

After stretching my back I decided to end this post as it is. Til next time, readers. Who ever you are.

Easier in Bed

2012-02-10T04:34:00.002+08:00

by Emeli Sande

I'm feeling like a hole in your head
Like the last thing in the world that you need
Time to go but we hold on instead
Close our eyes and we make believe

It's hard, hard to fake it baby
Hard to endure it baby
This don't feel like love anymore
Hard, hard to take it baby
Hard, hard to face it baby
It's getting harder to ignore

But it's easier in bed
Easier in bed
At night-time we pretend
Cos it's easier in bed

You're feeling like we're failing the test
Our fading dream is breaking your heart
You know the physical is all we've got left
Coz the only time you see me is in the dark

And it's hard, hard to fake it baby
Hard to endure it baby
This don't feel like love anymore
Hard, hard to take it baby
Hard, hard to face it baby
It's getting harder to ignore

But it's easier in bed
Easier in bed
At night-time we pretend
Cos it's easier in bed

It's easier in bed
Easier in bed
At night-time we pretend
Cos it's easier in bed

Easier in bed
At night-time we pretend.

2008-12-15T01:26:00.003+08:00

Hey guys! I would have posted more photos but its all in Lin's camera. For now i can only post some but I hope you guys can get some taste of NYC. Cant really take pictures of the view with me in it since im alone for most of this week.

Ok, the room pictures are taken in Sureen's house in Hoboken, NJ. The statue of Roosevelt and Dinasours was taken at American Museum of Natural History on 81st Street Uptown West Manhatan (the one they showed on The Nanny's Diary!). Next to the museum is the Central Park which is HUGE. The ones where there are ducks.

Ill update soon! Pls take care. I know i will hehe

Time to reflect

2008-05-16T09:08:00.003+08:00

So many things to say but somehow couldn't find the time to write. Was wondering whether you ppl are still up for the next semester (Sem 1 08/09) to start? Have you guys get so caught up with work that y'all are starting to get hung up over it? I actually have more questions. Been doing a lot of thinking lately. Well, since after lack of Dr. Arif's strive to wake up, I only know about the world occasionally, which I find, slowly, I'm turning into a loser for that.

However, seeing and observing the lives of others (ppl I know and don't) have always been, to my philosophical mind (he he), is one of the integral part of learning. I did use the word 'see' and 'observe' cause I don't think I need so much of those two to retrieve whats obvious (only at times intense questioning and investigation are used on a particular subject).

I've just learnt that I hate the guys that doesn't go for Friday prayers, esp. when they have the cheat and nerve to show up in public yet feel good about it. Most give the excuses like 'i am working, no choice'. As much as I hate that, I just realized that I am doing the same kind of crime by showing up in public not wearing a 'hijab'. To reason, both acts are accountable in the humiliation of the divine name of Islam even though the punishment is not of the same kind, and what is worst is that we are showing, giving the impression to Muslims and Non-Muslims that it is OK to do what we do . and so will our generation and the generation after.

How could I be so blind and throw all sorts of accusations at these ppl when I am also committing what my mind perceive as 'cemarkan nama suci Islam'? I know this is a simple kind of observation, and I am pretty sure all of you have figured it before me, but I will still write it as drastically I feel like a minor. as I thought I have always known to throw relevant, solid facts/reasons behind my every accusation or my every dislike.. turns out I am far from learning the right 'think'.

My journey to discovery is nothing close to reaching its peak. This shall be continued..

2008-05-13T23:01:00.003+08:00

I received a tragic call from home today. A son of my parents good friends lost his life to an irresponsible driver. Tho i didn get the chance to get to know him, but the news was really a shocker. The version that was told to me was quite vague, but basically this was what happened. He just got home from work, around 10pm, was crossing the road and got knocked by a car, just a few meters from his house. It was a hit and run accident.

The saddest part is, his family is still in grief for the demise of his dad just a few months ago. Now the last man standing in the family was forced to bow down ahead of his time.

To the ladies of Salman's family, my heartfelt condolence goes to you guys. May God give strength and courage through this trying time.

Remember folks, the road is not a playground. Irresponsible-car-driver might elude from the police but remember the person he ran over was someones brother and son. So be safe on the road and practice defensive driving.

ELECTION fever is on

2008-02-19T10:37:00.006+08:00

Election Commision had announced 8th March 2008 as the next upcoming General Election date here in Malaysia. This will be the 12th election held since we had gained our independence in 1957. Nomination day will be on Feb 24. Political parties will be given approximately 3 weeks of campaigning.

SKAs: For more information on your voting status, please visit http://undi.info/

I wish i was tossing yee sang with my sepet friends rather than blogging.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

Rattatatata-tuiii awayyyyyyyyy to a brand new year.....

Things are not moving. Its not like i have only 17 minutes to take a shower or 22 minutes to take my daily meals. Boy have i free time as much as a retiree. Its not that i like to sit idle and not move.

Hmm. Its more like i have shitload of work to do, buried alive and yet im STUCK. Clueless of where to start. In this lonesome room i tried again and again to finish up the mass of work thats piling invincibly on my left (on my right is my phone, camera, calculator, pda, and the sorts. my work is done paperless on the computer.. oh technology). Other things seem more interesting. Suddenly Facebook is the coolest website and cleaning up my room is my new found hobby.

Now i wish i didn sleep in the ceramah "Cara-cara Membahagi Masa Anda Untuk Berjaya" that they always have in school.

Thats not where it stops. My life is a standstill too. My absentmindedness has spread its wings. Its not that i dont like to talk, its just sometimes i think people talk too much they forget what they say can hurt other people. I dont like to think that im square just because i have little words to offer to people around me.

I love the silent moments in the car, when we are there but only the drums of the engine and soft background music from the radio can be heard. I hope you do too.

I love being around people, but with my absentmindedness, i might as well not be.

Things dont make sense around me anymore now. Am i losing it?

I know i have a difficult character(more like neurotic). But i wouldn be suicidal for being misunderstood.

Shit. Im late for dinner.

Lineage

2008-01-14T00:30:00.000+08:00

There was an article in NST today about a pair of twins who got married to each other without realizing that they are actually related. they only realized that they are brothers n sisters after they got married, and actually had to annul their marriage. how appalling. just put it this way, if ure a guy imagine marrying your own sister and vice versa. the emotional trauma that they have to go through must be tough.

that is why in Islam, it is stressed that one knows clearly about his lineage. it is more to avoid accidental incest cases, other than knowing our genetics. oleh itu, avoid pre marital intercourse and know the person you gonna get married to. its better to be safe than sorry.

HAAPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

"Till death do us part "

2007-12-15T10:35:00.000+08:00

0730 Got bck frm Darus. Followed by Tanjung. Ate delicious kueyteow basah.
0815 Balik rumah. Watch American Pie - BETA with Alya n Safiah.
1100 Dads working late. Cant pick up Ishak frm Robsen.
1115 Otw to federal highway. With Alya.
1120 Stuck in traffic jam. At this hour, uncommon.
1127 High-peech siren came from d opposite direction.
Police cars and motorbikes rushing at high speed because of i-dunno-wht.

1130 Police vehichles are honking from behind us now. The tone - "Give way demit."
1131 Cars stopped abruptly, and completely.
1140 Drivers off their engine. I got out of d car, walk in d middle of the 3-lane highway(that became 4, now since Msian drivers r bound to jump Q during such events). To see whts d fuss is abt, i was willing to witness whts ahead of me.

1142 Apparently, red cones were stationed across d road, deter us from driving ahead.
1143 Then i saw it. An accident went terribly wrong.
Toppled, white old car on the fast lane.
On d kura-kura lane, a Neo with slashed tyres. D car's body was on d ground as tho it was driven without tyres.

1153 Walked bck to my car.
1201 Police finally open up one lane.
1202 Driving by d scene, i saw, wht looked like a limb (arm or leg, unsure) being carried up by a policeman n shoved in a 'guni'.

1220 Reached Robsen Heights.

Frm wht i heard, 2 people were killed that night. Was sure dat bits n pieces of body parts were scattered on d road, which made d whole experience errie. Luckily Alya was there. Tht chicken shit persuaded me to witness it while she stayed in d car. If only we both had gotten out..

Someone's dad, brother or son had passed away. We will all die one day. Its a cycle of life, that we kno. But its HOW you die or shud i say d life-taking process that differs from one soul to another. I hope the 2 ppl had died fast n painless.

The moral ? SKAs and SKA's famly betha learn n practise defense driving. You nvr kno it mite jst save lives. p.s/ ENJOY LIFE. yeay hahahahahahah

random thoughts

2007-12-14T12:23:00.000+08:00

fridays are empty. even worse if your other half is not around. JC please hurry back. i need to drive you.

i have elevated to a whole new level in the play truant department. never have i in the boring-est class ever ever ever just walk out. literally packed my bag in the middle of lecture and left. but yesterday i did. to make things worse, i sat in the 1st row. right under his nostrils. but i did plan my escape. there were few loose papers under the desk and a pencil - which someone conveniently left it for my great escape. scattered the papers and pencil across my desk to make it seem like im just going for a loo break. but my inconveniently big bag gave it away. im pretty sure he knew that i wasnt gonna come back. but whatever. it was first day of class anyway. he was just yapping away about GDP growth and the difference between economic growth and economic development. ill just give him some girly excuse the next time i see him. ohhh but the guilt that came later was overwhelming making it even more worth it.

on something completely unrelated, i think having a relationship is like having a car. the responsibility that comes with it. you have to care, love and trust. i am whole when i have my car. now that i dont have JC (shes in a car hospital @ the mechanic), i feel part of me is missing. i guess thats how it feels to be in a relationship. ure complete when u have ure person but when the end comes, ure half again. thats gotta hurt.

QS Race 07

2007-12-05T09:42:00.000+08:00

Last Sunday (1st Dec) me n sum classm8s entered QS Race 07 organized by ISM representin UM. It wus so like the real thing cos there were cameras evrywhere n interviews. It wus soo much fun as we made our way by foot from Jln Sultan 2 the Taman Jaya LRT, to KLCC, ran searchin 4 Wisma Central, bak 2 the LRT station, all the way 2 terminal putra, took a bus 2 BEQS Consultant and made our last stop at a school in Gombak. We were leading the whole way n made every stop b4 the other teams. However as we finished our last challenge we cudn't find the finish line! It took us like 10 mins n when we finally found it there were alredi 2 teams there. "Sigh". We lost 2 a UIA team. Xleh belah sih!. Hehehe. Nyway, we still baged RM400 so it wusn't a total loss. PLus there wus a cute guy 2 sekodeng =p. Murni mesti igt i gatal. Nyway, i had a blast.

you know, the thing with holiday is that its fun when everyone around you are on holiday too. it doesnt give maximum utility when u have it alone. unless youre a sleezy potato couch whos ultimate desire is to sleeeez on the couch with some chips all day long watching non-stop soap rerun or something loserish on tele. for the the past one half week of my holiday was all about fun fun fun. not for a single moment i felt the creeping feeling of having to drag me back to the land of unholy, starting my quest for knowledge all over again, cuz my time was filled with having people around me doing stuff (maybe not all fun at times). but come monday all the sh*ty feeling that was stashed somewhere unknown came creeping back. heres 3 reasons why.

checked the results of my 'hardwork' burning the midnight oil for the two weeks i had in between papers. 1 paper i barely made it thru (fiuhhhhhhh thank god hes not gonna have to see my face again) and the rest are mediocre. a thought came to mind "man aleee, u gotta slosh ur way thru next semester if u still wanna be in the game. dont be slothful" which i get all the time right after checking my results. but im still what i was in my 1st year. strike one!

jeda took the midnight flight back to her waiting husband yang dah gerhana bulan dan bintang itu. its only been a month bro. well, i gained the pleasure of maximum utility of sleeping in a double bed alone again. but it sucks.thats two.

i woke up this morning to a tidy right side of my bed and a tidy bed on my left.great. an empty room and house. twas raining when i got up and its still is. went down to a dull breakfast table. oh life of emptiness has come back. called mom to be informed that she has to be in the office for a meeting at 11. went back to my room and started frantically dialing trusted people's number to make the feelng go away. izza picked up but too mamai to talk. the others still in slumber, but the person i can count on called back. thanks soz. thats strike 3.

hmmmm wheres that flee infested bushy smelly cat that i love. bebehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh mana lu?

BERSIH (Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections)

2007-11-19T12:30:00.001+08:00

The 2007 Bersih Rally was a rally held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on November 10, 2007. Event organizers intended to have a peaceful, non-violent rally, advising participants in the days and weeks beforehand how to keep the rally peaceful. However the rally was marred by government sanctioned police violence. The aim of this walk was to campaign for electoral reform. It was precipitated by allegations of corruption and discrepancies in the Malaysian election system that heavily favor the ruling political party, Barisan Nasional, which has been in power since Malaysia achieved its independence in 1957.

BERSIH demanded :

1. Usage of Indelible Ink. (which has already been agreed to by the Electoral Commission).
This makes it much more difficult to commit electoral fraud by lodging more than one vote.

2. Clean-up of Registered Voters Roll.
The removal of, for example, deceased people from the Registered Voters Roll. Such erroneous entries are too easily abused for fraudulent electoral gain.

3. Abolition of Postal Votes.
These too are easily abused. The majority of postal votes at Malaysian elections come from Malaysian Public Servants working overseas as diplomats or peace keepers. It has been suggested that these public servants are routinely bullied into voting for a particular candidate by their employer.

4. Access to the Government controlled print and broadcast media for Opposition Parties.
This is perhaps the most important demand made by BERSIH. Opposition parties need the same access to Newspapers and Television that is afforded to the Government if they are to effectively communicate their policies to the Malaysian people.

These demands have been incorporated into the Memorandum for submission to Seri Paduka Baginda Yang Di-Pertuan Agong. The points can be seen on yellow BERSIH T-shirts worn by many participants during the rally. Yellow is the color that has been chosen to represent the BERSIH movement.

currently watching:

omg. im turning 21 in exactly 10 days. how time flies man. i cant imagine im THERE. where all the (supposedly) fun in life begins. freedom (as in driving license), maturity (nahhhhh dont think im ther yet), love, relationships, the few years left to be under mom n dad's bank accounts. i used to envy my sisters when they were where im now. its funner when u were the spectator. proly cuz you grow bored of doing the same thing. or proly cuz u make believe that freedom is fun when u want it, but when u have it, its nothing more than just doing stuff at your own pace, and later u just have to have more. but i know 1 thing i wont be bored of. my ability to drive like alonso (as dubbed by nikhanis). weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
i guess what im trying to say is that when i look back, i cant say that my life is fulfilled. there are many things that i want to do, but havent gotten the opportunity to do it (blame it on the passive genes in me.. LOL). have yet to make a list of things to do in life, but i have a vague idea.
1. travel the world
2. go to a war torn country (but im afraid of wounds..hmmm)
3. make a difference in someone's life
4. shop til i max the credit card (oppps i dont believe in interest rate, debit card sounds better)
5. cut the baby fat (LOL.. still in denial its not baby fat)
6. go skinny dipping in sungai pahang (or any lake or sungai for that matter)
7. go for non-stop movie marathon
8. volunteer for a cause that i believe in

hmm. i cant think of anything else for now.
ive been really busy with assignments n the anxious feeling of final exams (cant think straight when im anxious). i really wana do something fun on my birthday. throw a party and dance the night away (my mom wud sooo kill me!) or have a great dinner party, or something. it is my 21st birthday anyway. its the mark of adulthood, ushering yourself to something bigger than just sending in homework on time or study hard and get good grades. LOL who am i kidding. im still doing that (excluding the latter). but anywho, i want to get out of this feeling of content. i want more.

ive thought of it, n i cnt seem to thnk of wat to say of this.

expect the unexpected

2007-09-07T18:46:00.000+08:00

i know the title's kinda lame. but who cares. neway, i just wanna tell u girls that my mom is officially pregnant. check that out people. haha.
i was totally freaked out when she told me that. didn't know how to react. i mean..imagine having another baby brother/sister (the gender is still unknown) at 21! that's freaky no? and i kinda think that my dad's not really excited about it because everytime we talk about the baby, he's like so tak layan. i guess he's freaking out too. i wasn't happy at first but i think i'm getting used to it now.
woohoo!! i'm gonna have a baby soon. hehe.

Selamat Menyambut Hari Kemerdekaan ke-50

Cool Slideshows!

Pictures : The Star Online website, www.thestar.com.my

For those who missed the show at Merdeka Square, these are some footage to show how Malaysian we areeeeee. The colours, cultures and everythinggggg is soooo wonderful. If you didnt kno, these were the people that came from across their country and celebrated 50th Merdeka Day with us (to be exact, with our King and Ministers only lerrrr):

Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo
Sultan of Brunei Hassanal Bolkiah
British Prince Andrew
Thailand's Crown Price Maha Vajiralongkorn
Thai Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont
Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong

Eventho we've reached 50 years of Independence, we have a long way to go in the attempt to succeed into the rapid development that our country is facing now. Given the changes, one must be truthful, sincere and determined to lead. Not only that, protect the interest of the public
(maslahah), educate the young generations in becoming future successor, eliminate poverty and ensure fair distribution of wealth, curb corruption and deception.

Most of us are still living and boosting about how great our previous warriors & rulers have been in the past but fail to come out n build a better and greater nation than them. I kno all dis seems to be a huge burden but as Muslims (or Non-muslim for dat matter), we must strive and struggle together to fulfill the objectives of Independence and adhere to the spirit of Rukunegara.

After that, all is hissstooorrrryyyyyyyyyyy~

Goreng Cempedak

2007-08-17T16:43:00.000+08:00

listening to: oh dewi by dewa

was going thru my collection of pictures (kata peeekture keeper of SKA) when i accidentally found a few peeektures of me n yaya making cempedak goreng. SEDAPPPPP okayyy. it began with my craving of 3 weeks for durian. pestered anyone who cared to listen to makan durian with me. (well i cant be eating a whole bunch of durians by meself. nnt pass gas yang terlalu menyedapkan) so anyway, was on our way back home from land of unholy on a nice thursday afternoon. baruuu je turn nak masuk highway tu, nampak ada a small stall by the roadside selling DURIANSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. did an emergency brake (nasib baik takde kereta kat belakang. fiuhhh!) and terus park by the roadside. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. alas! dream came true. we decided to eat a few there and bring back home the rest. there was this chinese uncle2 soooo engrossed with his durian as if there was no tomorrow. he was so nice to offer me some of his but i dont like that too pahit kind. no thanks uncle. next thing i knew, suraya speaking mandarin in full swing to the other uncle!

yaya: *ching chong*
uncle1: *ching chong*
yaya: *ching chong*
uncle1: *ching chong*
uncle2: *ching choooooong*

not that i understoond anything (sorry ya.i dont know how to reenact ur conversation! heh) so durian, check.cempedak,check.suraya,check. off we went back to KD. the rest are history. hehe. some peeeeektures to tell what happened next.

yaya showing off her de-cempedaking skill. haiyakkk!

thats it girls, stir!

sadly, we dint get to take the end results peektures. camera ran out of battery and i dint bother to look for new ones. time to eat!

harry potter and the deathly hallows is a sad book. jk rowling has proven time and again that shes a damn good story teller. pastt beyond hanis' story telling capabilities (hehe hanis u know i love u!). i cant describe the feeling of hopelessness during my nights tucked in bed pouring page by page the writings of harry's life. but i think THE duel between harry and voldy was not as big as expected. all in all, harry potter never fails to capture the imaginations of the minds of the imaginative. never fails to make me lost in the world of magic and spells. can wait to reread it again! if only i dont have like 3 gazillion stuff to do now. reality bites. but all is well.

love.

Darfur, Sudan

2007-08-12T01:22:00.000+08:00

Darfur is situated in the West of Sudan and covers an area the size of France (the size of Texas). For a number of years it was the scene of sporadic clashes between farming communities such as the Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa, and nomadic groups, which led to many deaths and the destruction and looting of homes. The government blamed competition over scarce resources for the clashes.

In February 2003 a new armed opposition group, the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA) took up arms against the government, because of what they perceived as the lack of government protection for their people and the marginalisation and underdevelopment of the region. The support base of this armed group came mainly from the agricultural groups in the region. Shortly afterwards another armed group, the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) emerged.

The government of Sudan responded by allowing free rein to Arab militias known as the Janjawid (guns on horseback) who began attacking villages, killing, raping and abducting people, destroying homes and other property, including water sources and looting livestock. At times government troops also attacked villages alongside the Janjawid, and government aircraft have been bombing villages sometimes just before Janjawid attacks, suggesting that these attacks were coordinated. The links between the Sudanese armed forces and the Janjawid are incontrovertible, the Janjawid are now wearing uniforms provided by the army.

"The Janjawid arrived and asked me to leave the place. They beat women and small children. They killed a little girl, Sara Bishara. She was two years old. She was knifed in her back."Aisha Ali, from the village of Sasa, near Kornoy town in North Darfur.

Every now and then we are reminded of the worldly events. Such events are hard to accept at times; the images, the sufferrings, the torcher, the broken spirits.. With all dat had happend in the past & now at the present, we must alwys b grateful n thankful for the life we r blessed with. and most of all, strive to be better in evrythn we do. insyaAllah we will make it. baby steps..

A Documentary by Katie Barlow : Sunday, 29th July 2007, 9am-12 noon, Islamic Arts Museum

2007-07-27T18:22:00.000+08:00

What drives a young well-educated Westerner to volunteer as a "peace activist" in the Middle East? Caiomhe Butterly is one of a growing number of volunteers who risk their own safety to intervene in the long-running and bloody conflict between Israel and Palestine. Several internationals, including her, have now been injured. Some have died.

In this film, she describes witnessing the aftermath of the attack on Jenin in April 2002. this film follows her work, the main emphasis being "the accompaniment of communities at risk". Despite being threatened, shot in the leg and deported later that year, she is determined to go back.In the interim, she brings her story back to her native Ireland at public meetings, receives a Time Magazine "European Hero Award", and travels to post-war Iraq to visit the Palestinian refugee camps. She arrives back in Jenin, shortly before a young woman from that community, Hanadi Jaradat, blows herself up in a suicide bombing in Haifa.

Activist such a Butterly are usually stereotyped as lunatics, meddlers or saints. this film offers an insight into a brave, honest, determined yet self-critical woman who takes direct action to the limit, with no quest for glory. She also serves as a conduit into the everyday lives of Palestinians, who are also usually presented to the viewer in a one-dimensional way, as fighters or victims, heroes or fanatics. This film gives us a rare chance to see what she calls "the spaces of beauty and joy" created by a people under occupation.

We invite you to RSVP and join us for the documentary screening on Sunday 29th July 2007, 9am-12noon at the Auditorium, Islamic Arts Musem, Jalan Perdana, Kuala Lumpur.

Admission is FREE.

Marriage

2007-07-22T18:29:00.000+08:00

Melisa & Rafiz telah selamat diijab kabulkan pada 20 haribulan Julai, 2007.

haha seriously, only the whole kadi-speech & the environment make the ceremony of akad nikah 'pressurable'. It is a feeling like no other i bet. Gettin married to the person whom you wish to spend your whole lifetime with, share laughter & tears with, responsibilty & duties etc. but most of all, in the art of making lurrveeee & babieeessssss!

wat am tryin to say is, to all of my partners-in-crime, skas, i hope in the near future we will all get the same happiness and love once we're married(evn for now actualli). The future is uncertain, or shud i say, gharar (hehe). At any point of ur life, the decision that u make determines what lies ahead of you, the risk we shall all take one day, in steppin-in the marriage life.

anyhow, we shud all make a contract, say for the love of our sisterhood. hehe each contribute a certain amt of money. whomever marry 1st will b given the stash of moneyyyhhh. or maybe this, whn we hold Bacholerette Party, we will all belly dance n wear hot sexy clothes & perform for the bride-to-be! haha any other days, text it.

bst rgrds, suraya

me, have a muslim identity? say what?!

2007-07-07T01:37:00.000+08:00

hello and greetings.

HAPPY 070707 SKAs!

anywhooooooo, YMP is organizing our fortnighly talk about another unique discussion related to youths... What does it mean to have a Muslim Identity? Heck, what does ‘Muslim Identity’ even mean??? If you’re interested in finding out or even tossing in your own ideas and opinions then join us this Sunday afternoon for a session of knowledge, food & friends!

Brother Abdulhamid Evans will be our special guest speaker this time around. Listen in wonder as he shares with us his journey to Islam during the Hippie 60’s in England & Ireland. He has a self-described Ph.D in ‘Sex, Drugs & Rock’n’Roll’. Get the insight on how a small number of European Muslims did small things at a time to bring about big positive changes that last till this very day, especially in countries such as England, Germany & Spain.

Most importantly, find out how his journey to Islam in Europe has many parallels with what it’s like for young Muslims in Malaysia today & how we can strengthen our own faith and from it bring about positive changes.

i was talking to my dad's friend about my car's petrol gauge. usually the jarum shows zzero petrol but actually its just faulty. i told him that u must give the dashboard a hard go, then the gauge will show the real amount of fuel in the tank. then, all of a sudden, talking about patting something rang a bell in my head. a joke told loooong time ago. here goes.

this happened back when computer takes up the whole of your dining table space and the only software usable is microsoft word. on one fine day so mr joseph was working on his computer when suddenly it went blank. so he called up the technician from the computer's company to repair it. so came mr. arumugam to save mr joseph's day. he just gave the cpu a hard go, and the computer came back to life. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATARELIEFFFF!!! 2 days later the bill came to mr joseph's office and it was RM1000. WHHAAAATASCAMMMMM! so mr joseph (dengan hati yg membara) called up mr arumugam to gave piece of his mind for cheating him. and here's mr arumugam's reply:

for the pat on the cpu : RM1
for knowing where to hit : RM999

heeeehhhhhhehehee.

oh yes btw HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX is gonna charm into the cinemas on 11th JULY!!!! MAKE SURE dont miss it people. i MUST i MUST watch the first show of the 1st day. HAH!

suraya is very naive
suraya is very stupid
suraya gave her i.c. number
suraya gave her full name
suraya feels like shit
suraya learned from her mistakes
suraya got to know from close relatives that they got the name voice call
suraya feels so retarded
suraya is gravely mistaken
suraya didnt act upon her instinct and rationality

in the end, suraya made a police report almost instantly (afta finding out wat a dumb person i was) at d station 2ensure dat she has her defense if those 'scammers' were 2abuse n misuse my name or i.c. number. thankGod i dint giv out anythng else. pls be aware of my mistake n spread d word arnd considering this matter.

conclusion: just ignore the blardee call.

victim of money laundering

2007-06-27T10:37:00.001+08:00

wtf.
i got a call yesterday from BukitAman police officers, saying that am a freakn alledged suspect in the case of loan shark notorious - Lim Chee Weng. watdahelll mannnnnnnnnnn. i find it so funny until they started calling me again today n ask me to appear infront of the high court.

i spoke mandarin w the officers cause its so BLARDEE hard to understand their english. i dmanded dat i speak to a person who can speak eng n bm fluently, but Officer Yew insisted that he can speak, n he is a msian dat studied abroad, n dat i shudnt complaint bcos am a malay who speaks mandarin (wtf dat means i oso duno). our conversation dint become serious until i got rili angry whn he askd me d questns dat ive alredi answrd ystrdy, i deliberately told him dat i would shut d fuckn phone until i get a freakn letter frm the HighCourt about my 'crimes'. he sed my letter mite b sidetrackd cos d address they found (frm bankers dat sell bank accounts to loan sharks) under my name was in K.L.

i was like fak. am a msian citizen, n if u say ure d police n watnot, u could trace my correct add within minutes w d given i.c. no. and its his freakn job 2make sure i get my freakn letter so dat thers no misundrstndg. ni cam call rumah org, ask u to go to HighCourt, without given prior notice of why d hell is ur presence needed there.

and den Officer Yew threatened me, sayin dat if i dun comply n cooperate, ill b held in prison. he warned me, n told me dat he'll come to my hse n ascort me to bkt aman. ntah paper dowhh. if hes SO blardee sure wher i live, wats d harm of him sending me a freakn OFFICAL letter. penat la layan org2 ni. no, instead, he continously ask me d same questns n whn i answr i must alwys repeat myself, n u call urself msian. mayb i undrsntd. mayb if i was d REAL suspect, am xpected 2give diff answrs 4 same questns. but if is SO serious, i whud have gotten a letter then only a phone call. i got d latter 1st instead. its like weve alwys known dat in msia thers alwys STUPID prosedures to follow. n here it is, a basic e.g. of msian gov not following these prosedures. its so simple, send me d letter n ill cooperate. u nvr these thngs chud b a scam.

whn they jot down my name, I CAN'T BELIEVE that they dun even kno wats d meaning of SPACE!

Officer: Can I have your name and I.C no. I wil find out about u.
Yaya : Okay. Suraya. S-U-R-A-Y-A
Officer: S-U-W-A
Yaya : No. no. S-u-r-a-y-a, space ...
Officer: Space? How to spell that?
Yaya : errrrrrr Its not my name, its a distant between names.
Officer: oooookayy
Yaya :binti space omar space zambri. repeat repeat repeat .....
Officer: hmmmmm space madam?

p.s/ if u were msian, u whud undrstnd dat a muslim name comes w binti or bin, n dat u'd undrstnd instantly wat it means by space. sheeshhh. i feel like am living in China during these encounters. btw, my hp n hse phone is ringing off d hook for d past hour cos i slammd d phone.sorri la, i do wan 'em 2catch d bad guy, but their approach on dis matter is f.o.s.....

missing past friends and present ones

2007-06-26T17:54:00.000+08:00

Girls, i was just thinking about high school days, and seriously, i miss the days when things were simple, when we'd meet friends around the corridor and menyibuk in each other's classes, or at tuition and gossip and cubit guys and all. hahaha.

i miss the nice clean fun of yesteryear. and now, most of them have scattered across the globe. which leaves us thinking, and missing what was. the good ol days. i wish things were still the same.

which brought me to this point: one day, we will graduate from UIA, we will have jobs we HAVE TO GO TO AND CAN'T SKIP, bills to pay, and no more mommy and daddy to make things easy for us. And during that time, we'd think back to our uni days and..miss it. miss this.

miss the fun we girls have, doing nothing and everything. screaming and smacking boobs and freaking yaya out with our grossness and complaining about being fat and emo-ing and..you know what i mean. we can't see it now, we take it for granted now, but one day, along the lines when we are grown and mature adults with boring lives (yeah, not everyone has jobs with so much free time like u see on FRIENDS) , we'd wish we did more to savour these days and the sisterhood we share.

so what im saying is: LET"S HAVE FUN!!! let's plan something, before the craziness of next sem starts. let's enjoy our company being crazy and girly and laugh till our sides ache before we can't anymore. let's take piccies and flirt with cute boys and walk along the beach and sing and all that crap. Let's before we get ol get married and all this will be a faded memory.

so girls: PLS TELL YAYA/ALIAA when you guys are free, so we can plan a simple trip to PD. Jom arrr. Dekat pon susah nak plan apa lagi nak gi bandung next year? come on girls we can do it. just tell when you're free and i'll settle the rest. OKAY! OKay!

btw: akemal, farhan, etc are welcome also :)

sem nak buka ni. tak naaaaakkkkk. i'm gonna be so busy. mock trial, tutorial, law student's society, dating ahhahahahah. so let's do this before the hectic schedule of our student lives kick in

sincerely: murni mentoot

kampung girl

2007-06-24T15:43:00.000+08:00

whenever i travel i sureeeeeee bcome sick.thus,my mom calls me kampung girl coz i maca tak biase je travel.anywayz,the macam girls had an organized trip to south of auckland.it was soooo cold!!n me being me,i had to bcome a lil 'sickly'.who came to my rescue??? "dr.jamie"!! haha the owner of the lodge we were staying in.he was soooooo baik.its surprising how nice,warm n friendly ppl are to strangers.i guess they were trying to be nice to their guest,but it was over whelming,they soo went out of their way to make us feel at home n introducing us to the place.it was a cool expereince coz they treated us like equals thus making all conversation very light n open.the lodge was a bacpackers kinda thing so we were all living together n eating together n showereing together.so fun! oh n there was this place called SHADZ CAFE!! can u believe??!!all the way in nz.cool giler,sooo excited.hehehehe.

then the bus driver who was amazingly intellectual(u never know wht ppl r till u talk to em) was discussing religion wit me n hanzy.his german,staying in nz.he had his own i deas abt islam,the normal misconception tht islam=arab.soooooooo not!we really put things in perspective 4 him n he was really impressed.his a graduate of psycology or something.i was quite proud of the lil we could do to try to save the name of islam.he said he will convey the msg to his german friends coz germans like to try to "get to the root of things"(according to him).he did an impressive rsearch on our religion himself,then he tried to explain islams certain prohibitions-relating them to the olden days n how these days we dont need em anymore.we tried clearing things out 4 him(hope we did well)

its wonderful being exposed to diff ppl n diff views,expanding the mind(i hope)hahaha.

like oh my god, im writing a blog.

well like oh my god, here goes.

dear diary,

dear diary of SKA,

i went to work at KUMON yesterday. it was so shocking to me, how smart kids are these days. like i wouldnt see me doing what they did, when i was at their age. it scares me how dependent i am. they sat there like smart little dwarfs and too absolutefuqnly cuteeee. CUTEEE soo cuteeee. at their age i was prolly still EATING WORMS or something? lagi nak buat maths kan? heeee. seriously my dad sat with me in class for almost half a year when i was in std 1, ALL the teachers knew me okayy. tak tahannn.

i guess im not sure if i want a kid of my own, or i want to be where they are now, young and having so much fun. my mum says i have to remember that im 21 and not a kid nmore. i dont feel 21, but sure hope ill act my age when i get older. well people, were getting older, and i think we have to make use of it fast.

ill give you an idea, you people should make use of your legsss and walk around malls and shop shop shop shop shop, before ull get too tired too bored and too old for that ok? heee. just a thought.

besides that. update on ska's outing. we went to ou on thursday night. bowled like champs. at least i did. haha!

hanzie was waiting 4 me as i walked out of the arrival hall after heavy duty customs.nz is very strict with the goods u can bring into the country.n guess wht!! out of 400 ppl passing through the customs,i was "randomly" selected to have to go through a scan for bomb resedue!!do i look like a bomber to u???? i bet it was bcoz my name was arabic or whtever.

its 530am local time n we just had something to eat since we got from the airport.i wish u guys were here.its damn nice!!its sooo diff from uia.its like a life of freedom n independence.n it gives u strength to do things on ur own n try different things.the college/apartment is awesome!its a railways station converted into a college/apartment.they have a huge common kitchen area where EVERYBODY cooks(its too expensive to eat out) i watched my sis n her friend cook up a small storm while i sat infront of an oven to keep myself warm. its cccooolllldddd out here.but its a nice change.change is always good.i bet we would all look so cute balled up in winter clothing,cute scarfs,trendy coats,hot boots.. i was shocked to see my sis..she looked so...hot in the winter clothes she pulled together.

i wish u guys were here..it would be cool beyond words! my sis n her freinds plan to go on a EURO TRIP k.i was like man,ill never see tht kinda thing in my life. BUT we can yall!!we can travel n have fun together..lest start small but significant.our parents have to let us go...we dont do anything!!we r good children who study well n dont get into trouble n r obedient most of the time.i feel we should make something something of our friendship,take it to the next level =)

• 12 million children have been orphaned by HIV/AIDS in Africa and that number is expected to climb to 18 million by 2010

• Over one billion people lack access to clean water and 2.6 billion do not have access to basic sanitation. Every 15 seconds, a child dies from problems caused by lack of clean water

chillin again on the roof top layaning our cam whore desires(even the guys were into it)until the hotel staff came to "chase us off"-it was closing.but thanks anyways yaya-our expert photographer.

six young ladies(21 years of age,mind u)jumping on the hotel bed like a bunch of 3 year olds.n at the same time taking provocative pictures-courtesy of haniza hazer.hehe

we got back to the room n soon after,aliaa n nik got ready to go for some real breakfast in the hotel.(they sneaked up some goodies for us to munch on too,what r friends for if not to bring u food right?)thanks girlies!then by 12 we packed up n all were heading out on our ways to do our own things once again.the only sure thing i knew what 2 of the girls were doing was ASSIGNMENT hehehe.yeah.hanz n nik still had an assignment due 1 day AFTER finals.common girls,we can do this university thing!i know we can! haha

freaking out

2007-06-11T23:25:00.000+08:00

for most that know me, when i say im freaking out for finals, i bet you'd roll your eyes and say "yeah right. thats wht you always say."

but you know, this time its true. i almost failed (i got her to raise my marks!) my midterm and when i went to see my lecturer for consultation, she said for a 5 mark question, a good answer would be two pages.

2 pages! WTH!!!

it was the most discouraging conversation i ever had. basically she told me it was almost impossible to get an A-.

screw it. if i can get A- under Dr. Bahar, i dont understand why i cnt get it under her. the subject isnt even that hard. i understand it. but it is just plain CRAZY to ask a person to write 8 pages for a freakin 15 marks question. i mean, who has the time?

Allah, please..i hope i can do well for this final. an A- pls pls. because if i dont do will, then my pointer will go down, and i already have some problems i dont want to think abt. i cnt lose this. my academics.

pls.

AMIN.

in-betweens

2007-06-11T00:25:00.000+08:00

so yet again i spent my sunday afternoon listening to old people talking. been going to this talk conducted by the young muslim project (ymp for short) every fortnightly on sundays. this week, topic discussed was men, women and in-betweens. homosexuals. yep. VERY interesting. homos are defined as being sexually attracted, in love and having desires towards the same gender, and translate those skewed feelings physically (in another way, having anal intercourse). so to those who have ermm 'secret imaginations' towards kawan of the same sex, need not fret. as long as u keep ur imaginations in the closet, its harmless. some interesting facts about homosexuals are, if he has only one anal intercourse partner, chances of getting aids/hiv is 50% higher (so being unfaithful is safer. HAHA) and more than half of homosexual individuals are in an abusive homosexual relationship.

thats about just proly 1/20 of the inputs from the talk. but bear in mind, the homosexual committees now are fighting for their rights. they actually came up with a kindergarten book that includes homosexual parents in the syllabus. john's parents are 2 guys, and jane's parents are 2 women. so think about our future kids. if homos will be accepted as a norm, our kids will grow up accepting that its normal to be a homo. so take time to ponder aight.

on another note, i met madonna's dancer at the talk. wooooo!!! damn nice guy and has a strong faith. amin norman reverted to islam about 3 years ago and he just reverted his devoted christian dad to islam about 3 months ago. cool innit??!! hes still a dancer now. a devoted muslim dancer. coolness.

so lets be part of the ymp and express your thoughts about islam, current issues and the sorts. good day people!

us and amin norman

they said: "surely, you know that we have neither
any desire nor need of your daughters, and indeed
you know well what we want!. they (messenger)
said: "O Lut! Verily, we are the messengers from
your Lord! they shall not reach you! so travel with
your family in a part of the night, and let not any of
you look back; but your wife (will remain behind),
verily, the punishment which will afflict her. indeed,
morning is their appointed time. is not the morning near?

Bangsar. One of the places where youngsters and grown-ups collide and find themselves on familiar grounds: to yamcha, lepak & chitchat away. mmg la normal. laidback, chillout. everytime me & my homegals go there we'll find nuthin unusual. everything seems to be at the right place (except whn thngs get wild occassionally at nite!).

Spoke of the 'right' thngs too soon, whn suddenly a day had come for the gals to do their 'thang' at the salon & threading parlor. i came in late for the visit. as i walk gradually into the tiny, non-air conditioned shop, my wondering eyes had set on a hunky guy. he was standing 6feet tall, spiky hair, long-sleeve collared shirt, anddddddddddddddd (this is a must-have btw!) good looking, as in hensemhensem! haha nden arr, suddently rite, i saw his leg ritee, getting closer n closer n closer to another men's private part. i wasn't as stunt yet, till i saw the respond of mr.Gay no. 2. he responded to the hunky male by putting his filthy lips and kiss hunky guy's neck! fak. wat da fak is goin on. its not bad enaf they are roaming the streets of kl like bunch of maggots like nobodis business, now we are allowing PDA in public! betwn same sexes! Pic (left): uia 's sotongs.

pls la wehy. leave ur dirty laundry at home. i duno bout ya'll, but i dun thnk d society in general shud tolerate such behaviour, especially whn malaysia is becoming more n more lenient & liberal these days. if u thnk u wana bermastautin arnd this region, i suggest u find a spot, dig a hole and bury yourself.
