Boikot produk Israel

Sejauh mana atau selama mana rakyat Malaysia akan mengikut saranan Tun M tentang boikot produk USA dan Israel?

Adakah selepas Israel bersetuju dengan gencatan senjata, kita akan kembali semula membeli barangan mereka, membawa keluarga makan di McDonald's atau minum ice blended frappucino di Starbucks?

Anis kesal dengan sikap seorang rakan yang tanpa segan silu bercerita yang dia makan Prosperity Burger untuk dinner satu malam. Bila Anis ingatkan dia tentang saranan Tun M, dia memberi alasan, "Anak aku nak makan la, nak buat camne." Kenapa mesti salahkan kanak-kanak yang tidak tahu apa-apa atas ketidakprihatinan kita? Kalau kita boleh tolak permintaan anak yang inginkan sebuah kereta mainan, kenapa tidak untuk sekeping chicken nugget. Goreng la sendiri di rumah.

Sabtu lepas Anis dan keluarga berjalan-jalan di Hartamas. Kami lalu depan Starbucks dan ternampak seorang perempuan bertudung sedang minum disitu bersama rakan-rakannya. Mama sangat marah. Lebih-lebih lagi bila ada orang Islam yang makan di McD. Dia kata, "Cuba bayangkan daging yang diorang makan tu daging rakyat Palestin. Patut ada poster gambar burger McD tukar daging rakyat Palestin yang dah mati." Ngeri tapi Anis setuju.

Ahad lepas Anis ke klinik gigi. Semasa menunggu giliran, Anis terdengar seorang kanak-kanak lelaki yang merengek minta KFC dari ibunya. Sambil tersenyum ibunya menjawab, "Kita dah tak boleh makan KFC sekarang. Nanti kita pergi makan roti canai ye."

In the end, tepuk dada tanya selera hati.

Women and Cars

This is not an answer to, '2 things men love'.

This is an answer to, ' What makes a bad combination?'. It doesn't even sound as good as women & clothes or women & shopping. :)

This might get some feminist jump-off their seats after reading this. But I got to admit not many women are really good at taking care of their cars. And I confess, I'm one of them.

How many of you check your car's engine oil/radiator coolant in between service?

How many of you can roll-up your sleeves and change a flat tyre?

Let me tell you a few mishaps I got into with my car for the past 4 years of ownership.

Two years ago, the battery went dead because I never refill the battery water and I didn't know it's about time to change it anyway.

Last year, my car stopped and won't start in the middle of the road because it ran out of gas.

And most recently, in fact yesterday, I drove from home to office not knowing I got a flat tyre until I reached the office's car park. If only I noticed it earlier, it wouldn't have cost me MYR145 for one ruined tyre.

Honestly speaking, when talk about cars, I know little. Luckily I have Arif for advice. :)

What about you? What were your experiences with your car? Please take the poll below.

Islam and organ donation

I'm not sure about others, but to me it's the simplest act of charity. And since Islam has no objection regarding organ donation, in fact, Islam encourage it, it's the more reason for us Muslim to do our part.

Some of us might ask, can a Muslim donate his/her organ to a non-Muslim? The answer is yes. Read this post by Dr. Mohd Asri (ex-Mufti Perlis).

"...Dan barangsiapa yang memelihara kehidupan seorang manusia, maka seolah-olah dia telah memelihara kehidupan manusia semuanya..."
Surah Al-Maaidah:32

Yoga is haram in Islam

I know this is an old issue to be talked about. But the reason I post this is because a blog owner was really mad at me after I commented on his post.

I wrote this based on my opinion at that time:
"Why can't people take it as another form of exercise? Why must we complicate our minds? Is your faith that fragile?"

And he replied:
"Yoga and Reiki are not physical exercises, they're some kind of acts of worship. Please lay off your bloody fingers and stop meddling into the affairs of Muslims. We don't need your f*cking guidance on this matter."

Can you feel how mad he is towards me?

Then I simply reply like this:
"Sorry if I hurt you in any way. I wrote based on my opinion. How can we claim ourselves a Muslim when we go around swearing people and cannot take others advices and opinions?"

Yes, I may not be the best Muslim to guide others. Plus I'm still learning myself. But my opinion is my own. If you don't like it, there's nothing I can do about it. If I'm wrong, may Allah forgive me.

Anyway, regarding Yoga, after reading the report from JAKIM complete with verses from Al-Quran and hadith, I'm more clear about the issue. But I still don't see any harm in practising the movement merely for health benefits. In fact, I've practised it myself and find it more friendly to the condition of my body compare to aerobics and jogging.

And again all this is based on my opinion... :)

For the owner of the blog, if you're reading this, may Allah bless you.

*if any of you want a copy of the JAKIM's report, feel free to email me or leave a comment with your email address. i'll send it to you a.s.a.p

Surah Ar-Ruum verse 41

"Telah nampak kerosakan di darat dan di laut disebabkan kerana perbuatan tangan manusia, supaya Allah merasakan kepada mereka sebahagian dari (akibat) perbuatan mereka, agar mereka kembali (ke jalan yang benar)." 30:41

1993 - Highland Towers Tragedy ; 48 people killed


2006 - Kampung Pasir Landslide ; 4 people died


2006 - Kota Tinggi; flash flood


2008 - Bukit Antarabangsa Landslide ; 4 people died and still counting

How many more must die before we gonna realize our mistake? How many more must die before we gonna start taking action to repair and prevent? How many more must die before we wanna learn our lesson? Or we easily forget...

"Dan apabila mereka diberi pelajaran mereka tiada mengingatnya." 37:13

Young at heart


Familiar with the pics above? Who doesn't rite.


No matter how old we are, there's always a kid inside us. That's why we never stop playing games, be it PS2, PSP, X-box, etc. or desktop or laptop. And thanks to the people in the game industry whom never fail to come up with better & more addictive game each time.


For me, I love games from Yahoo. First game that got me hooked was Diner Dash. Then came Chocolatier. Latest addiction is Restaurant Rush. But of course they only give you trial pack for free. When you're done with it, either you purchase the full pack or buy pirated cd. Since I'm in Malaysia, I chose the latter. =)


What is your fav game?
