Cool Slideshows!

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

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!

Young Muslim Project session (19th Aug 2007, 230pm)

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

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..

For now, we are collecting the fee on monthly basis. If this small project goes well, some of us even thought of investing the money, venture out on something. But all this will only be successful if we gain support frm everyone. If there is any rejection or suggestion, please come forwarddd yaaaa.
