This is The End...of A Beginning

Today is my birthday. But I'm not as happy as my 18th birthday. In fact, if I can, I want to keep it as a secret for today. I'm acting like it's not my birthday today. However, that is almost impossible to do thanks to the facebook who keep reminding people about other's birthday. I know I can change the setting but I'm too lazy to do that. Plus, I don't care much whether they wish my birthday or not. Don't get me wrong here. I'm not saying I'm not being thankful for their wishes, it's just doesn't matter me anymore. I'm glad people wishing me for my birthday and I also didn't get hurt if people doesn't care to wish to me anymore. I just want people to know my existence, that's all. Why am I not happy?

Why I'm not happy? Well there are a lot of reasons why I'm not happy with myself. When I was in my primary school, I always wanted to be in a boarding school. I got it, mission accomplished. Sadly, my pace was only going well until that level. After I finished my secondary school(that boarding school), I was just a mediocre student. Not like when I was in primary school. When I was in primary school, I always get the top spot in the school. Maybe not the first spot, but still at my own class. However, things change. When I was in the boarding school, I always wanting to further my study abroad. However, that was not happening at all. As a mediocre student, I just manage to get a spot in the matriculation college.

In the matriculation college, I'm in a culture shock. Everything need to be done as soon as possible. Nobody gonna help you. You're on your own. When I was in the boarding school, teachers always provide us with the "supplement" that we need to thrive in the exam. But that's not happen there. I'm starting to skip classes, and end up with a quite disappointing result. Honestly, I don't remember. With that result, I was randomly placed in a course that I don't even know what it is. Degree of "Information Technology and Multimedia". That's not what I got in the University period. Things are getting worst. I don't have anyone that I know in this course, I have people from my school and matriculation college studying there but there was none in my course. So, I'm alone and no closest friend there. I have my housemate that I considered the closest friend that I have when I was in University. In the end, I gave up to the stress and ran away.

My dream is always to be an entertainer just my favorite role model, Allahyarham Sudirman Haji Arshad. I've tried many audition but my nervousness get into me. I never perform well in the audition. Until now, the dream is still a dream. I always hoping I can living my dream and my age is now became older. People that I know, most of 'em already have their target locked. They just need to follow the track and they should do fine. Me? I'm still lost, I've my target but my target is not in my sight. I lost my target, and now waiting the target to go through in front of me. And when that time comes, I'll not hesitate to lock on my target.

People always said, It doesn’t matter how you START but what's matter is how you FINISH! I can say I started quite well, but now is my dark period. I'm on a slump and I've fell in a deep valley. I need to climb again and claim my spot again. I'm not sure when the time comes, but I'm damn sure I'm not gonna let it happen again. If I have a time machine, I'll go back to my boarding school period and slap me hard when I started to give up with the competition. You know, students in a boarding school, they're amazing students. They smart, they've charisma and many other things that I'm not competing in my primary school.

So, Are you ready for

Solidarity Across the Internet.

Assalamualaikum and welcome to all Infinitesane visitor. Hmm, don't you think this blog seems crowded? Well, that is not what I want to tell you.

This past few days, if you're in Malaysia, you'll notice that most or I should say majority Malaysian facebook users change their profile picture to the picture like one of the above picture. Why did they do that? Well there is a campaign "Solidarity With Palestinian prisoners on Hunger Strike".

(Baca lagi = Read more)

But first, what is solidarity? You can check on wikipedia here, or simply put, an integration. So, what is this campaign is all about?

“Thousands of prisoners in Israeli prisons have been on a hunger strike since April 17. Others, like Bilal Diab or Thaer Halahleh, have been on hunger strike for almost 80 days, demanding improved conditions for prisoners in Israeli custody – such as ending solitary confinement and allowing for more family visits. This is the longest hunger strike in history,” ~Mkaddem, The Wounded Palestinian Relief Association~

So, regarding the hunger strike, most of the Muslim around the globe joining this solidarity. But I'm not so sure about that. What I'm sure, here in Malaysia, there are A LOT of supporters that care about their brothers in Palestine. Sure, many thinks that just by changing your profile picture not going to benefit the prisoners. But they are proved wrong. The Israeli officials said Monday that the prisoners signed an agreement outlining better conditions and an end to their strike (source). So, I'll maybe change my profile picture this weekend.

However, this is not the end. Palestine still need to be free. Just by ending this strike, that doesn't mean that the Palestinian is now at peace. I do hope and I pray each and every day that Palestine will win back their land. I know nothing much I can do, but I do hope my pray is heard.

With that, see you later,
Hasta luego,
Wassalam.

The Magic of Oil

Assalamualaikum and welcome to all Infinitesane visitors. Today we'll talk about oil. Well, as always, I'm not going with bundled of facts as you can search it in google, plus don't have much time to search about it right now.

Oil, to be precise petroleum, is a "gold fountain" for those who owns it. As a main power supply to the world, the one who owns it can be a "king" in the world. The problem is it's a fossil fuel. It will extinct

However this entry is not about petroleum oil. It's kinda abstract-ish entry. I just want to remind us about how oil can change our life.

Petroleum oil, without it, human felt unproductive. Everything seems too slow.
Cooking oil, grease, too much of it bring cholesterol and a threat to life span of a human.
SEA CUCUMBER OIL, you can get a lot of it as a souvenir from Langkawi. And it is really a good solution for wounds and cut. Because it can heal the cut really fast! I used it when I was involved in an accident a few months ago. And if you read yesterday entry, I told you about the deep cut I got and I applied the "sea cucumber oil" in my wrapped finger. And after 24 hours, this is the result:


And after almost 48 hours (just a few minutes ago), here is the result:

The oily thing is the sea cucumber oil
It's just like a magic right? It really heal fast! That's all for now. I'm sorry for disappointing you all for a lame entry today. This entry suppose to be in the "Wednesday Wonder" right?

See you later,
Hasta luego,
Wassalam.

Bersih 3.0: Tak Payahlah...

Assalamualaikum dan selamay datang ke Infinitesane "Thursday Thriller". Sebelum saya memulakan entri ini, ingin saya ucapkan takziah kepada keluarga Bob Kuman yang dikatakan telah meninggal dunia petang tadi. Saya baca di sini. Pada saya, artikel di murai.com boleh dipercayai rasanya kerana ia adalah sumber "mainstream" bagi industri hiburan Malaysia. Sekali lagi takziah dari saya dan sama-samalah kita sedekahkan Al-fatihah kepada beliau. Saya bukan peminat beliau tetapi saya hargai kerjanya dalam bidang komedi khususnya. Kalau ada yang terlupa, Bob ini asalnya dari kumpulan penyanyi KU2.

Baiklah, berbalik kepada topik kita kali ini. Saya sejujurnya tak nak ambil port pun pasal benda ini. Saya tak tahu pun ada Bersih 3.0 kali ini. Munglin tak banyak diwar-warkan di media perdana atau memang saya tak nak ambil tahu. Saya benci benda berpuak-puak ni. Tapi bila benda ini lebih banyak mengundang keburukan dari kebaikan, lebih baiklah tak payah dilangsungkan. Jangan nak melatah dahulu dengan saya. Saya tak menyebelahi mana-mana pihak.

Mula-mula, pihak polis dikatakan melakukan provokasi. Maka peserta demonstrasi akan bertindak liar. Jadi siapa yang dipersalahkan? Polis yang melakukan provokasi atau peserta demonstrasi? Dah tak kisah dah. Kerosakan dah berlaku. Peniaga rugi, Jalan "jam" dan mungkin ada harta benda yang dirosakkan. KALAULAH perhimpunan ini tidak berlaku, mungkin kurang "Jam", keluarga dapat bersiar-siar, orang ramai dapat jalan-jalan dengan santai dan sebagainya. Rakan saya secara peribadi pernah terlibat dengan perhimpunan seperti ini semasa dia keluar ke Kuala Lumpur. Dia bukanlah orang KL, jadi dapatlah dia meronda KL. Sangkaannya meleset kerana dia terpaksa "berkurung" di sebuah pusat beli-belah. Sadis tak?

Saya faham anda semua tak berpuas hati dengan pelbagai perkara. Saya tak ada masalah dengan itu. Pastinya anda semua sudah dapat menjangka yang pihak polis takkan berlemah-lembut dengan anda. Masih juga anda teruskan perhimpunan ini. Tidakkah ia membahayakan orang ramai dan mereka sendiri? Janganlah tanya saya cara lain, kerana saya tak berniat nak berdemonstrasi. Anda dapat perhatian dari media luar, anda berjaya membuka pekung negara kononnya negara ini kotor. Tahniah saya ucapkan.

Sebelum saya mengakhiri entri kali ini walaupun entri nampak macam tak ada hala tuju, tetapi saranan saya, fikirkanlah baik buruk sebelum melakukan keputusan. Dan, silalah kutip sampah yang anda buang merata-rata (sekiranya ada) agar negara ini akan menjadi negara yang "bersih". Save the earth.

Jumpa lagi,
Wassalam.

Bahrain F1 GP: Happen Or Not?

Assalamualaikum and welcome to today "Thursday Thriller". No, I'm not making a mistake here, I know that Bahrain F1 GP should be on "Sporty Saturday" slot and indeed InsyaAllah I'll write about it this saturday. But this time it is about the should/shouldn't that race take place?

(Baca lagi = Read more)

There is a demonstration that took place against this race. Actually, they're protesting against the goverment. I don't want to interfere with this matter because I don't really know/understand what happen between the protestors and the goverment. However, I write this entry because I'm concern with the safety of the teams participating and the visitors/fans. It was said by the leader of the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights, Nabeel Rajab that

"Nobody will hurt them. No group in Bahrain will ever harm you guys."

"Foreigners are respected amongst our people, especially western journalists because through you we can speak to the outside world."

"Nobody will harm anybody, no-one in a Formula One team, nobody."

"Yes, they are angry at the sport, but it's not personal, it's about politics."

(full story here)

It is kind a de ja vu to me because it was almost the same thing when "Bersih 2.0" happen before. You can said whatever you want but you cannot guarantee what going to happen on that day. You can say you've been provoked by the police or whatever you want to said, but that is what a demonstration all about. Your adrenalin rushing and you may do whatever you cannot imagine you will do before.

I just hope things will be under control on that day. And I will keep on update on this issue until the raceday.

I think that's all for now. I'll see you tomorrow on "Berkat Jumaat", InsyaAllah. It's in Malay of course.

Until then,
See you later,
Hasta luego,
Wassalam.

Gempa Bumi Semalam Tidak Mencetus Tsunami. Alhamdulillah.

Assalamualaikum dan selamat datang ke "Thursday Thriller".

Semalam saya ada bercerita tentang gempa bumi di Banda Acheh (kalau tak ingat, klik sini). Amaran tsunami dikeluarkan sebagai langkah berjaga-jaga. Namun begitu, selepas beberapa jam, amaran tsunami ditarik semula. Kenapa? Penjelasannya ada di video di bawah ini.

Menurut video tersebut, gempa kali ini berbeza kerana

Gempa yang berlaku kali ini adalah secara melintang dengan plat tektonik bergeseran menyebabkan gelombang dalam air meningkat sedikit. -dari bharian.com.my

Berbeza dengan gempa 2004, gempa tersebut menyebabkan dua plat bumi bertembung dan menyebabkan satu plat ke atas, satu kebawah sekaligus menyesarkan air laut dan menyebabkan tsunami besar.

Apa-apapun, gempa bumi kali ini tetap meragut beberapa nyawa akibat serangan jantung. Oleh itu, ini adalah peringatan Allah untuk kita sentiasa beringat tentang kekuasaanNya. Kita sering leka untuk mengingat Allah, maka Allah turunkan peringatan supaya kita dapat sentiasa mengingatiNya. Bersyukurlah kerana kita masih dipanjangkan nyawa supaya dapat kita bertaubat atas kesalahan yang lalu.

Sampai disini sahaja nampak gayanya. Saya sedikit sibuk hujung beberapa hari ini. Tetapi saya akan terus cuba "update" blog ini.

Jumpa lagi esok,
Wassalam.
