World Cup - part 5

Yes... Yes... Yes... my predictions on 2nd round were 100% right...

As predicted, Spain will be playing against Paraguay in the Quarter Final... Despite of that, my hats off to Japan who played exceptionally well...

As much as I would like to see all latin team in the semi final, Paraguay performance last nite was a big disappointment... if they keep it that way, I think Spain would easily beat them...

Looking at current scenario, my predictions will be either on the following:

Possibility 1 - my wish (winner in bracket)

Uruguay v Ghana (Uruguay)
Holland v Brazil (Brazil)
Argentina v Germany (Argentina)
Paraguay v Spain (Paraguay)

Possibility 2 - more realistic

All the same except Spain will win the tie against Paraguay...

No matter what, the match between Argentina v Germany will be the most interesting... either team can win the match depending on player's form on the match day... Again, I expect whoever win, the winner will go all the way to the final...

As much as everybody predicted that it's gonna be all latin final, I'm not surprise to see Europe vs Latin in the final too... This is because if Germany win, they may play against Spain in the semi, hence ensured at least 1 euro team in the final...

Anyway, let's not jump the gun yet... let's see how's the outcome for Quarter Final... it's getting more interesting now and for me, come Friday nite, you know where I will be...

My Dear Wife

Today is my other half 42nd Birthday... Happy Birthday My Dear... I love you always...

For the first time, I'm wishing you here as I never know whether I will get the same chance again next year...

My dear wife,

I may not express this often, I may not show it much in public either but deep in your heart, I know you know how much I love, care & admire you...

You may think that I never notice, but today I want you to know that I do know & remember how much you had sacrifice for the family...

You are the ones that bond the family together... you are the main link in the family, without you, the family that we built together in the last 19 years might be disintegrate...

I'm sorry for my naughtiness or things that i do that might hurt you... but no matter what, you remain my No 1 in my heart...

Happy Birthday my dear wife, Salmiza...

Your hubby...

Jokes - Why We Should Not Flirt!!!

Hahaha... this is hilarious...

A couple was invited to a swanky family masked fancy dress halloween party. The wife got a terrible headache and told husband to go to the party alone. He, being a devoted husband, protested, but she argued and said she was going to take some aspirin and go to bed and there was no need for his good time to be spoiled by not going.

So he took his costume and away he went... The wife, after sleeping soundly for about an hour, woke without pain and as it was still early, decided to go to the party.

As her husband didn't know what her costume was, she thought she would have some fun by watching her husband to see how he acted when she was not with him. So she joined the party and soon spotted her husband in his costume, cavorting around on the dance floor, dancing with every chick' he could and copping a little feel here and a little kiss there. His wife went up to him and being a rather seductive babe herself, he left his new partner high and dry and devoted his time to her. She let him go as far as he wished, naturally, since he was her husband.

After more drinks he finally whispered a little proposition in her ear and she agreed, so off they went to one of the cars and had passionate intercourse in the back seat. Just before unmasking at midnight, she slipped away and went home and put the costume away and was sitting up reading when he came in, so she asked what kind of time he had. Oh, the same old thing. You know I never have a good time when you're not there.' Then she asked, 'Did you dance much?'

He replied, 'I'll tell you, I never even danced one dance. When I got there, I met Pete, Bill Brown and some other guys, so we went into the spare room and played poker all evening.'

You must have looked really silly wearing that costume playing poker all night!' she said with unashamed sarcasm.

To which the husband replied, Actually, I gave my costume to my Dad.... apparently he had the time of his life

Safe Driving Tips When It Is Raining!

Thought of sharing the following info for the benefits of fellow reader

GOOD VISION IN A DOWNPOUR

How to achieve good vision while driving during a heavy downpour.

We are not sure why it is so effective; just try this method when it rains heavily. This method was told by a Police friend who had experienced and confirmed it. It is useful...even driving at night.

Most of the motorists would turn on HIGH or FASTEST SPEED of the wipers during heavy downpour, yet the visibility in front of the windshield is still bad...... In the event you face such a situation, just put on your SUN GLASSES (any model will do), and miracle! All of a sudden, your visibility in front of your windshield is perfectly clear, as if there is no rain.
 

Make sure you always have a pair of SUN GLASSES in your car. You are not only helping yourself to drive safely with good vision, but also might save your friend's life by giving him this idea..

Try it yourself and share it with your friends!???
 

Amazing, you still see the drops on the windshield, but not the sheet of rain falling.?  You can see where the rain bounces off the road. It works to eliminate the "blindness" from passing cars. Or the "kickup" if you are following a car in the rain. They ought to teach this little tip in driver's training.  It really does work.

This is a good warning. I wonder how many people knew about this.

World Cup - part 4

So far for second round my prediction comes true... Hence, we will see the Quarterfinal as below:

Argentina v Germany
Uruguay v Ghana
Holland v Brazil

and my prediction for one more match will be Paraguay v Spain

Anyway, for the first time since World Cup started, I fell in love again with Brazil's game... eventhough I missed 'samba' but the individual skills was excellent in last night match... To me, the way they display their game last night, they can go far...

Since Argentina will be meeting Germany in next match, I now would love to see Argentina playing Brazil in final... This will be one of the classic final in World Cup history, if that happens....

Let's see...

World Cup - part 3

Seems like my predictions on 2nd round matches so far quite accurate...

Two of my favorite teams now will be meeting each other in the Quarter Final i.e. Argentina vs Germany.... This gonna be an explosive match which by right should be the final match instead...

Based on 2nd round matches, seems like both (Argentna & Germany) have equal chance to move to Semi Final... Either one is Ok with me but my bet will be on Argentina. I believe the winner of this game will go all the way to the final and lift the cup...

For Quarter Final, other than Germany vs Argentina, the next match is between Uruguay vs Ghana... both playing exciting game and for this, my bet wil be Uruguay due to their experience...

The other games in 2nd round and my pick would be:
Holland v Slovakia (Holland to win)
Brazil v Chile (Brazil)
Paraguay v Japan (Paraguay)
Spain v Porugal (Spain)

If that happened, it will be interesting to see the following games in the Quarter Final
Argentina v Germany
Uruguay v Ghana
Holland v Brazil
Spain v Paraguay

There's a possibility of us seing all latin team in semi if they win their respective games... anyway, let's take one step at a time... the ball is round...

Kalimah Allah disebalik logo Crocs?

I don't know whether this is done intentionally or not...but as a Muslim, I must highlight this to fellow Muslims...

Just take a look at the photo below;

Spotted anything?

Yup... Looks like nothing... just a photo of smiling crocodile...


It may look nothing in one glance... just like Coca Cola, but if you look deeper into Coca Cola logo through mirror, you will see in Arab : La Mecca, La Muhammad. which means No Mecca, No Muhammad (saw).

Now, let's look again... Turn the Croc logo upside down as below;


Did you see anything? It may apparent to you now the word ALLAH... look again below:

Are you surprise? Is this a coincident? Only God knows... But as a Muslim, we must be alert & always careful in protecting our faith, our Creator & our Messenger...

If you already own one, maybe the following tips may help...


a) Scratch the logo using knife or anything sharp till the logo is missing or distorted... .

or

b) Best is just destroy it...

Next inform all your friends, family & acquaintances on this... used whatever means like e-mail, facebook, blog etc to create awareness to fellow Muslims as it is our duty to do so...

What matter most...

Things had been a bit haywire lately... especially concerning my 'friends' lifestyle/behaviour...

Anyway, from my own eyes experience, not a single of them (including me) is an angel nor evil... anyway, as usual, i won't talk or pray on other people bad deeds...

I'm more interested in talking about me and how I felt...

Lately, some are a bit 'reserved' with me and mostly are due to 'stories' they heard and assume... to me, i don't care less because what matter most to me is what my love ones think of me and what Allah swt judge me...

I may be open and out spoken, but at least I'm not an hypocrite... who behave naive & innocent in front of people (or selected people) but transformed 360 degree when they are 'alone' or in front of 'accepted' eyes...

On the outside, i don't potray myself as an 'ustaz' but that does not mean I'm 'empty' inside on religious matter... I don't have to pray 5x a day in front of other people nor 'declare' it to people I want to pray first before anything... coz to me, I did it for Allah swt.... anyway, as always reminded by my parents & religious teacher, be like 'resmi padi, tunduk berisi'...

People may like to brag as though they are the most perfect people in the world, let them be... Allah swt knows better...

People may like to brag about their 'perfect' family, let it be...I don't care less even though some I've seen their ugly side... coz Allah swt will be the eventual judge...

People may like to brag about their job/profession, again... i don't care less but pray their excellent benefits/perks will be use towards things that blessed by Allah swt...

People may like to brag about their lifestyle, let it be... coz nothing concerning me... it's between them and Allah swt

People may like to think they are better/innocent than me... so let it... it's Allah swt to decide...

People may like to run me down, i don't care less either, coz it's Allah swt that will determine my fate... best is, if they accused me of something, if they are wrong or right, it's me who benefit most... so let it be...

Worst, when people who had been given a special 'gift' by Allah swt but decide to use their gift in creating havoc in other people lives...

In a nutshell, stop talking about others because what seems good in front of your eye/ear, may be ugly behind... the best & the purest thing to do is always, have good deed / intention of other people... & last but not least, don't care of what others think... just be yourself and let Allah swt decide the rest...

The Basic Difference...

One day a florist goes to a barber for a haircut. After the cut he asked about his bill and the barber replies, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The florist was pleased and left the shop.

When the barber goes to open his shop the next morning there is a 'thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.

Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replies, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The cop is happy and leaves the shop.

The next morning when the barber goes to open up there is a 'thank you' card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.

Later that day, a college professor comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replies, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The professor is very happy and leaves the shop.

The next morning when the barber opens his shop, there is a 'thank you' card and a dozen different books, such as 'How to Improve Your Business' and 'Becoming More Successful.'

Then, a Member of Parliament comes in for a haircut , and when he goes to pay his bill the barber again replies, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The Member of Parliament is very happy and leaves the shop.

The next morning when the barber goes to open up, there are a dozen Members of Parliament lined up waiting for a free haircut.

And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the ordinary citizens and the Members of Parliament.

Vote carefully next time...hahahaha

World Cup - part 2

Very interesting... so far most of my predictions are right... France & Italy was eliminated and England is lucky enough to escape so far... the Latin & Asian teams doing well too with most of them qualify to 2nd round... What had happened to Europe & Africa? By the way, I'm not surprise to see the downfall of Cameroon & Nigeria because just like Italy & France, their dependency on 'old horses' & 1 or 2 'dark horses' is insufficient to get them thru to the next stage...

USA surprisingly doing well so far & their game is quite interesting to watch... Asia through Japan & Korea is there but I doubt they will go beyond 2nd stage...

Match to watch in 2nd round surely will be between Germany & England... hahaha... the Europe giant is killing each other... From this game, it will be interesting to see the possibility of my two favorite team gonna meet each other in Quarter Final i.e. Germany vs Argentina (if both win in 2nd round)... For this (if it happens) I have no choice but to stick to Argentina...

Looking at current scenario, I'm not surprise to see at least 2 - 4 Latin team gonna be in the semi finals...

As at now, my prediction, the Latin Team will be the eventual world champion... but as usual, the ball is round... it will depend very much on how they perform on the day itself and a bit of luck too...

Let's follow the games & see what is the outcome after 2nd stage...

RENUNG²KANLAH DEMI KESABARAN DALAM APA JUA PERMINTAAN..

Pendek ja statement ni..tapi banyak makna dlm diri kita.

Bila Allah cepat makbulkan Doamu,
Maka DIA Menyayangimu,

Bila DIA Lambat Makbulkan doamu,
Maka DIA Ingin Mengujimu,

Bila DIA Tidak Makbulkan Doamu,
Maka Dia Merancang Sesuatu Yang lebih Baik Untukmu.

Oleh itu, Sentiasalah Bersangka Baik Pada ALLAH Dalam Apa Jua Keadaan Pun... Kerana Kasih sayang ALLAH Itu Mendahului KemurkaanNya.

Ambillah sedikit masa dan sebarkan kepada orang yg kita sayangi... anda sudah pasti memberi keceriaan kepada seseorang atau mungkin mengubah hidup mereka kepada yang lebih baik, InsyaALLAH

Mukjizat disebalik BISMILLAH

Bismillah, got this from my colleague...

BISMILLAH adalah sebutan/nama singkat dari lafaz ' BISMILLAHIR ROHMAANIR ROHIIM ' yang bermaksud ' Dengan nama ALLAH Yang Maha Pengasih lagi Maha Penyayang. '

KELEBIHAN-KELEBIHAN BISMILLAH

1. Yang pertama ditulis Qalam adalah BISMILLAH. Maka apabila kamu menulis sesuatu, maka tulislah BISMILLAH pada awalnya kerana BISMILLAH tertulis pada setiap wahyu yang Allah turunkan kepada Jibrail...

2. 'BISMILLAH untukmu dan rumahmu, suruhlah mereka apabila memohon sesuatu dengan BISMILLAH. Aku tidak akan meninggalkannya sekejap mata pun sejak BISMILLAH diturunkan kepada Adam. (Hadith Qudsi)

3. Tatkala BISMILLAH diturunkan ke dunia, maka semua a wan berlari ke arah barat, angin terdiam, air laut bergelora, mendengarkan seluruh binatang dan terlempar semua syaitan.

4. Demi Allah dan keagunganNya, tidaklah BISMILLAH itu dibacakan pada orang sakit melainkan menjadi ubat untuknya dan tidaklah BISMILLAH dibacakan di atas sesuatu melainkan Allah beri berkat ke atasnya.

5. Barangsiapa yang ingin hidup bahagia dan mati syahid, maka bacalah BISMILLAH setiap kali memulakan sesuatu perkara yang baik.

6. Jumlah huruf dalam BSMILLAH ada 19 huruf dan malaikat penjaga neraka ada 19 (QS.ALMuddatsir:30) .Ibnu Mas ' ud berkata: ' Sesiapa yang ingin Allah selamatkan dari 19 malaikat neraka maka bacalah BISMILLAH 19 kali setiap hari. '

7. Tiap huruf BISMILLAH ada JUNNAH (penjaga/khadam) hingga tiap huruf berkata, ' Siapa yang membaca BISMILLAH maka kamilah kekuatannya dan kamilah kehebatannya. '

8. Barangsiapa yang memuliakan tulisan BISMILLAH nescaya Allah akan mengangkat namanya di syurga yang sangat tinggi dan diampunkan segala dosa kedua orang tuanya.

9. Barangsiapa yang membaca BISMILLAH maka akan bertasbihlah segala gunung kepadanya.

10. Barangsiapa yang membaca BISMILLAH sebanyak 21 kali ketika hendak tidur, maka akan terpelihara dari gangguan syaitan, kecurian dan kebakaran, maut mendadak dan bala.

11. Barangsiapa yang membaca BISMILLAH sebanyak 50 kali di hadapan orang yang zalim, hinalah dan masuk ketakutan dalam hati si zalim serta naiklah keberanian dan kehebatan kepada si pembaca.

Petikan Hari Bapa - Nota Hati Seorang Lelaki (Pahrol Mohd Juoi)

Just to share this for the benefits of my blog reader....

Inilah cerita benar. Cerita benar seorang penulis yang Berjaya. Beginilah
kisahnya...

Entahlah apa yang selalu bermain pada fikiran ayah. Apabila saya ingin pulang kembali ke kota, dia kerap minta duit. Seakan-akan mendesak....
"Ada duit? Minta ayah sedikit.."

Saya masih ingat waktu itu kehidupan saya terlalu sukar. Untuk mendapat seratus ringgit di dalam poket pada satu-satu masa pun payah. Kalau balik kampung selalunya duit yang ada hanya cukup-cukup tambang. Mujurlah, isteri dan anak anak saya sudah faham. Alhamdulilah mereka 'sporting' dan tidak banyak meragam.

"Emak, ayah asyik minta duit. Bukan tak mahu bagi, tapi saya memang tak ada duit" Bisik saya kepada emak. Emak seperti biasa, berwajah selamba, sukar ditembak reaksinya.

"Bagilah beberapa yang ada," cadang emak pendek. "Takkan 5 ringgit?"
Emak mengganguk.

Saya rasa bersalah untuk memberi ayah wang sebanyak itu. Apalah yang boleh dibeli dengan wang 5 ringgit....Tapi kerana tidak mahu menghampakan harapan ayah dan ikutkan cadangan emak, saya gagahi juga memberinya.

Ayah selalunya tersenyum menerima pemberian saya. Tetapi yang mengejutkan ialah apabila kami sekeluarga berada dalam perut bas dalam perjalanan pulang ke kota. Di kocek anak saya sudah terselit wang sepuluh ringgit. Siapa yang bagi kalau bukan ayah? 10 tolak 5, saya masih 'untung' 5 ringgit. Geli hati mengenangkannya...

Begitulah selalunya tahun demi tahun. Apabila kami pulang ziarah ke kampung, saya akan memberi pemintaan ayah. Kengkadang terlupa, tetapi ayah akan selalu mengingatkan. Akhirnya, saya memang sediakan peruntukan khas untuk diberikan kepada ayah setiap kali pulang kampung. Kedudukan ekonomi saya yang masih goyah kekadang hanya mengizinkan wang dua ringgit untuk diberikan kepada ayah. Ironinya, ayah tetap dengan pemintaannya dan tetap tersenyum apabila menerima. Tidak kira berapa jumlahnya. Emak terus-terusan selamba. Saya masih sukar menandingi ketajaman rasa seorang isteri (emak) dalam mmahami hati suaminya (ayah).

Begitupun setiap kali dalam perjalanan pulang, kocek anak saya akan jadi sasaran. Kekadang itulah duit pelengkap membeli tiket pulang. Ayah akan setiap memasukkan duit yang melebihi jumlah saya berikan kepadanya. Saya tidak mengambil masa lama untuk memahami apa maksud tersirat disebalik perlakuan ayah itu. Dia meminta wang pada saya bukan kerana 'tidak ada', tetapi dia ada sesuatu yang lebih besar ingin dicapainya atau disampaikannya.

Namun, secara bertahap-tahap buku tulisan saya semakin mendapat sambutan. Bukan itu sahaja, perniagaan yang saya mulakan secara kecil-kecilan semakin membesar. Kalau dulu kami pulang ke kampung dengan bas, tetapi selepas beberapa tahun saya pulang dengan kereta milik sendiri. Saya masih ingat komen ayah ketika saya pulang dengan kereta kecil Kancil milik kami sendiri.

"Nanti, besarlah kereta kamu ini...." ujur ayah senyum.

Apapun saya tetap memenuhi permintaan ayah setiap kali pulang ke kampung. Wang saya dahulukan kepadanya. Dan ayah juga konsisten dengan sikapnya, ada sahaja wang yang diselitkan dalam kocek anak saya.

"Eh tak payahlah ayah..." sekarang saya mula berani bersuara. Ekonomi keluarga sudah agak stabil. Malu rasanya mengambil duit ayah walaupun perantaraan pemberian datuk kepada cucunya. Saya tahu dan sedar, hakikatnya ayah hendak memberi kepada saya sejak dulu, tetapi sengaja atau tidak ingin saya merasa segan, duit diberi melalui anak.

"Kenapa, dah kaya?" usik ayah. Hendak tak hendak, duit dikocek anak tetap diselitkannya. Cuma sekarang bezanya, duit itu tidak lagi 'dikebas' oleh saya. Dan dalam hati, saya mula berasa senang kerana jumlah yang saya berikan kepada ayah, kini sudah melebihi apa yang mampu diselitkan ke kocek anak saya. Tidak semacam dulu lagi, duit pemberian ayah kepada anak saya sentiasa melebihi duit pemberian saya kepadanya.

Masin sungguh mulut ayah. Tidak sampai tiga tahun, kami bertukar kereta!. Disamping menulis, saya menjadi penerbit. Perniagaan semakin rancak. Oleh sebab bilangan anak bertambah dan keperluan kerja yang meningkat saya sudah membeli MPV utuk kegunaan harian. Anak-anak mula menjejak menara gading.

Kehidupan semakin laju dan aktiviti semakin rancak. Namun sibuk sekalipun saya tetap pulang menziarahi ayah dan ibu. Anehnya ayah tetap memberi kepada anak saya walaupun kini saya telah dikenali sebagai korporat yang berjaya.

Rupa-rupanya, ayah memberi bukan kerana kekurangan atau kelebihan kami, tetapi dia MEMBERI KERANA ALLAH. Mencontohi Allah al-Wahhab itu!

Anda ingin tah apa pesan penulis itu kepada saya? Ya, mari kongsi bersama:

"Kini aku benar-benar faham bahawa ibu ayah yang tua bukan beban dalam kehidupan di dunia, lebih-lebih lagi dalam kehidupan di akhirat. Mereka bukan 'liabiliti' tetapi sebenarnya aset untuk kita (walaupun istilah itu sebenarnya kurang atau tidak tepat kerana ibubapa bukan benda). Rugi betul siapa yang mempunyai ibu bapa yang telah tua tetapi mengabaikannya.

"memberi kepada ibu bapa hakikatnya memberi kepada diri sendiri. Walaupun itu bukan niat kita ketika memberi, tetapi percayalah rezeki berganda akan pulang kepada kita semula. DOA MEREKA MUSTAJAB. Harapan mereka kenyataan. Kasih mereka bekalan. Benarlah sepertimana sabda Rasulullah s.a.w, keredhaan Allah terletak kepada keredhaan ibu bapa."

Baiklah, inilah sebenarnya rahsia 'perniagaan' yang jarang-jarang diperkatakan oleh tokoh korporat. Juga tidak pernah ditulis dalam mana-mana buku perniagaan. Masih punya ibubapa? MEMBERILAH KEPADA MEREKA.

Tidak ada? Tidak mengapa, memberilah kepada anak-anak anda. Tidak ada juga?
Memberilah kepada sesiapa sahaja. Kita sentiasa berfikir untuk memberi. Memberi kepada orang lain bererti memberi kepada diri kita sendiri walaupun itu bukan maksud kita ketika mula memberi!

Sahabat sekelian, Cerita dibawah menjadi IBRAH bagi kita semua.

Apa yang paling utama dalam memberikan khidmat terakhir kpd ibu ayah ialah MEMANDIKAN JENAZAHNYA, MENGKAPANKAN TUBUH MULIANYA, MENYEMBAHYANGKAN JENAZAH NYA DAN MENGKEBUMIKAN JENAZAHNYA. Lakukan dengan tangan2 kita sebagai anak2. Lakukan sahabat, lakukannya jika ditakdirkan ibu ayah kita meninggal dunia.

Saya menangis apabila ada sahabat saya menceritakan bagaimana ibu kepada Tuan Guru Dr Harun Din meninggal dunia. Bacalah sahabat pengalaman Dr Harun Din dan keluarganya.

Jiran kpd ibu Dr Harun Din (DrHD) menziarah ibunya pada waktu petang selepas asar. beliau memberi salam tetapi tak menyahut salamnya. Beberapa kali salam diberikan tapi tak ada jawapan. Maka jirannya itu mencari ruang mencari ibu Dr HD, akhirnya terlihat ibunya sedang sujud dalam solat. lalu jiran ini balik ke rumah dahulu. beberapa minit kemudian, datang semula berjumpa ibu DR. HD, dilihatnya masih sujud. firasat jirannya, ini ada yang tak kena. Lalu masuk ke rumah utk melihat dari dekat ibu Dr. HD. Rupa2nya, ibu Dr. HD telah kembali ke rahmatullah dalam masa ibunya sujud menghadap Allah. Ya Allah mulianya kematian ibu Dr.HD.

Perkara yg paling comel yg dilakukan keluarga DrHD ialah, menyempurnakan dgn tangan2 anak2 jenazah ibunya. Mandikan ibu, kapan ibu, sembahyangkan ibu dan kebumikan tanpa diusik orang lain ke atas tubuh ibunya. Ada jiran2 yg ingin melakukannya tetapi ditolak oleh Dr Harun Din, Hasan Din dan Ishak Din dengan hujah, "BERILAH SAYA SEKELUARGA PELUANG MEMBUAT KHIDMAT YG TERAKHIR UTK IBU".
Ketika hujah itu diberikan, seluruh masyarakat yg hadir melinangkan air mata kerana tawaaduk dan alimnya anak2 ibu itu. Paling menyayatkan hati masyarakat adalah apabila ketiga2 adik beradik ini iaitu Harun Din, Hasan Din dan Ishak Din turun sendiri ke lubang lahad mengebumikan jenazah ibunya. Ada beberapa orang yg hadir, memohon dan berkata, "Wahai Tuan Guru, biarlah kami buat semuanya ini menurunkan jenazah ibu Tuan Guru." Permintaan ini ditolak oleh DrHD dgn hujah yg sama "Berilah kami adik beradik peluang mengebumikan jenazah ibu ini kali terakhir". Seluruh yg hadir di kuburan ketika itu, mencurahkan airmata tawadduk di atas akhlak anak2 ibu yang diasuh hingga sealim sedemikian. Peristiwa ini disempurnakan hingga selesai.

HEBAT IBU ini membina akhlak dan keilmuan anak-anak mereka, maka tidak hairanlah kita semua bahawa Dr. HD , Hasan Din dan Ishak Din memang disegani oleh kawan dan lawan di Bumi Malaysia ini kerana "AKHLAK"nya yang mulia dan ALIM nya mereka.

Terus terang sahabat, ketika saya mendengar cerita ini, air mata saya melinang apabila tergambar ketika saya dan 11 orang adik beradik menguruskan jenazah ibu bersama Feb 2009 yang lalu. Ya Allah, rahmatilah ibu kami semua. Rahmatilah mereka dan Ampunkanlah kami. Wallahu A'lam.

Baca hayati, selami dan insafi...... Amalkan, doa ibu bapa amat mustajab... Bahagia dunia akhirat...

It's World Cup

I remember putting the football world cup countdown counter in my blog late last year... now is the time... how time flies...

Anyway, this is a month where I will sleep less and drop almost 'everything' for the next 30 days... With my Astro Byond, New full HD TV, Home Theatre System, lazy chair, cigar, tidbits etc etc... wow... time to take a break & enjoy myself...

For this world cup, I'm rooting for Argentina & followed by Germany... hopefully they go all the way to the final... why Argentina? I simply love Messi & they are the only Latin team that stick to the Latin play... others especially Brazil no longer produce samba play for the sake of winning the coveted cup... Off course another factor is the head coach i.e. Diego Maradona, my childhood football idol...

Germany, nothing much to say...being German and the kind of player's in their current team, they can go far...

Spain, England, Portugal, Italy, Brazil & France to me, is over rated... their players are good, but to have all star in one team will be a disaster...another factor, most of their players are now over the hill... I doubt they will go far...

Anyway, this is just my personal view... time will tell... any team that can peak during this period will be the rightful winner... may the best team win...

p/s: how I wish Malaysian team is there...

Father's Day

In Malaysia, we celebrate Father's Day yesterday (3rd sunday in June)...

For me, I guess my sons forgot about it till later in the afternoon... my daughter (being melancholy) do remember & I'm really touch with her choice of word in her card... but whatever it is, I still love all my kids the same...boys will always be boys like me those days...

However, since morning, back in my mind, I keep on remembering my dad... someone who I admire, respect, love & adore most...

He has gone through a lot throughout his 80 years of his life but he always remains calm in whatever situations, good or bad... The whole day, I keep on remembering his sacrifice towards his family, our journey together as well as his hardship when he was young... What keep on flashing in my mind is his hardship when he was raised by his Thai step mother (as I read in his book) & how he re-act when he lost 2 sons 20 years ago... throughout his ordeal, not a single eye drop falling & always remain calm...

I'm writing here just to express my personal tribute to him...

To Ayah, I love you very much & always proud of you... Happy Father's Day Tuan Haji Shahabudin...

waaa...

It has been quite sometime since i last write here... things are a bit hectic lately... will nevertheless find time to share my thought soon...
