Journey to the City

NYC 101

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

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..

Tribute

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

Report: A Kacau Soul

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

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!!

thanks 4 last night u guys.im happy just spending time wit u all.its always fun!
