How's yours?
If it looks like this, dont worry.
Say alhamdulillah.
Why? You are still alive.
So, it means that you still have time to repent!!!

قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّاللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
Say: "O 'Ibâdî (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allâh, verily Allâh forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Az-zumar, ayah 53 


To whom Allah addresses this ayah?
To the worst of the worst of sinful people who have excessively repeated horrible mistakes.

Sometimes people think after they have committed sins, they should not stop because they think there is no point to repent since Allah views them as bad people. No no no no no no no. Remember, this is from shaytan. Allah wants us to remove this concerns and seek the mercy of allah. Decide to change your life NOW and be a good muslim.

Dont despair from the mercy of allah. It does not matter how many you've sinned, allah will and can forgive your sins constantly.

May Allah saves you and I from the Hellfire - Ameen

Jom daftar Haji!

8:42:00 PM          By amiir
Aku rasa post ini amat penting untuk semua umat islam di Malaysia yang berkemampuan. Anda sudah mendaftar ibadat Haji dengan Tabung Haji? Sebaik-baiknya buat secepat mungking kerana senarai menunggu sekarang adalah pada tahun 2032.

Tapi, kalau yang terlebih mampu tuh, tak yah susah daftar dekat tabung haji. Pergi daftar dengan mana-mana agency.Cepat dan mudah tapi kosnya pon 'double up' la. Harga semasa dengan tabung haji RM 10,000++. Dengan agency, maybe dalam RM 20,000++. tapi kalau nk layanan VIP, boleh mencecah sampai RM 100,000++. cek link neyh. *Pakej Hajj*

Al-kisah disebalik post ini. Aku ada seorang makcik, dia tak tahu kalau nak pergi haji dengan tabung haji mesti daftar dahulu. Dia ingat kalau dah ada akaun tabung haji, tak payah nak daftar, tunggu nama dipanggil jek. Nasib baik la menantunya bagitahu kt makcik aku, kalau tak sampai ke sudah tak pergi haji. Umur pun da 50++ (ak pon tak ingat). Kalau tak silap, giliran makcik ak tahun 2028/2029. Mase tuh, umur dah 70 lebih. Hurmm.. Harap-harap panjang la umur makcik aku neyh.

Insya-Allah, kalau umurku panjang, aku pergi tahun 2032. Aku daftar bulan lepas, tak tahu la kalau senarai menunggu sekarang dah tukar kepada 2034 ke belum. Pada masa itu, umur aku 41 tahun dan harap-harap duit simpanan sudah terlebih cukup untuk menunaikan haji.

Macam mana? Ada dua cara, online ataupun pergi ke tabung haji yg berdekatan. Kalau online, boleh pergi link INI dan ikutilah prosedur-prosedur seterusnya. Aku tak de pengalaman buat online, so aku pon tidak tahu menahu sangat. Kalau pergi tabung haji, macam biasa la isi borang. Isi borang pun ak tak tahu sebab ayah aku yg buatkan.haha.

2 perkara yg penting sebelum membuat permohonan.
  • Mestilah ada akaun tabung haji. Aku rase semua ada. Kalau takde, pergi cepat-cepat daftar.
  • Duit minimum dalam akaun mestilah sekurang-kurangya RM1300. Kira macam deposit la

Lucrative ad

11:34:00 AM          By amiir
Salam.

The most expensive ad in TV3.. Have you wonder about it and what would be the price? PETRONAS~yeah, they are paying for it..RM 10,000 for 10-seconds ad? Well, it is just my prediction. It might be a bigger amount of money.


Image

It's not really a big surprise for most of us because we see it frequently on Tv3..Compared to whatsoever advertisers, PETRONAS spend the most of their money just to promote their "oil"..OURS

If you do observe carefully, their ad will pop-out immediately after the Buletin Utama at 8.00 p.m. takes a break..And that's make them to pay the highest price for advertising in Tv3..

I write this fact based on the story that I got from my brother..I think it is true though..Statistically speaking, Buletin Utama at 8 p.m. has the highest viewers..And another thing is, the big amount of money is not a problem for Petronas, right?

Sharing=Caring

9:42:00 PM          By amiir
Salam..

ImageI think everyone is alarmed with this quite old issue, PPSMI..So, I just want to share an experience that I have as a proof that the system does not work-well as the govt had hoped..Everything that is written here is only my OPINION ;)

My little brother, he's in Standard 4..he came to me and asked me about mathematics problem that he faced..so, I asked him to translate the question, from english to malay..He said he did not know what was the question asking for (he could not translate it word by word)..


I was quite surprise with his answer because he managed to answer other questions..then, he explained that he was helped by his teacher and friends, so that's why he can answer the questions..Laaa..ape citer neyh?

Thus, I come to a conclusion that he knows only these terms after he learned math in english for about 3.5 years: "sum, divide, multiply, subtract"..What's the point to learn in English if he does not understand the text? In exam, he always get a good grade for each subject..I wonder if he learned math in Bahasa, I think he would get a better grade..right??

Maybe you would not find this scenario in school located in city, only in 'kampung' area, I presume..Students from 'kampung' should be thankful as the PPSMI will be abolished in 2012..FullStop~

Would it be true?

I watched the Buletin Utama on TV3 just now.. One of the news was Malaysia are going to reconsider the proposal of using Nuclear energy as an energy to generate the electricity in Malaysia.. One of the reason is the coal and gas resources are going to be depleted in the next 20 years..Before this, Malaysia had proposed about it but later we found another 'black gold' well, thus the plan was terminated (i'm not sure where is the new location situated).

Based on the research made by the scientists, the nuclear energy releases the smallest amount of carbon dioxide to the environment.. So, it is called as a friendly-environment resources and many countries in this world has already initiated their effort in order to fully harness the efficient of this renewable source eg. South Korea, US, Iran etc.


However, a place where the wasted radioactive materials will be kept is debatable among scientists..From Mr. Tan's lecture, he said the place is not safe for a limitless time..If something bad happens eg. war, natural disasters (volcano eruption, earthquake) the radioactive would leak to environment and human being would be exposed to it. Consequently, lots of problem will raise from the horrific event.

Erm, I think it is my duty as future Chemical Engineer to search for a new renewable resource which is much more better than nuclear and bio fuel energy..Please do not be surprised if my name is listed on the inventors of the newest renewable energy in the next 15-20 years..hehe

Microsoft will release a new version of Windows 7 which is smooth, convenient, simple and offer lots of new application. However, we have to wait for 3 years for Microsoft to develop and release it. I think everyone has already knew about this new version of Windows. For those who are using Windows XP and Vista, you have the opportunity to make-up your windows with a theme of Windows 7. Basically, you won't get the real experience when using the theme, but only the appearance.



 If you insist to experience this new Windows, you can try the Release Candidate version.The general public gained access to download the free beta since Jan. 9, 2009.

Here are 3 trusted download links for the themes :
Theme 1
Theme 2
Theme 3

PPSMM, who is to blame?

7:39:00 AM          By amiir

After I have read through almost all comments in Dr. Mahathir's blog, I found an interesting comment..So, I am going to share with all of you..I know some of you would not agree with me..~by ayahpong

-->Tak payahlah membawa contoh Singapura, mereka negara bandar. Jika seluruh Malaysia mempunyai kemudahan sekolah, peluang sama seperti anak-anak mereka wajarlah. Ini 2000 sekolah tidak ada elektrik/air nak laksana PPSMI.

TIMSS 2007 was a total reversal, with Malaysia losing out to Australia, England, Scotland and the United States in Mathematics (New Zealand not in the TIMSS 2007 list for Year 8 students) as well as being overtaken by Norway and Italy in science!


Malaysia plunged from No. 10 placing in mathematics in TIMSS 2003 to No. 20 placing in TIMSS 2007.

With the disastrous showing in mathematics at the eighth grade level, Malaysia not only lost to the five top Asian countries which took the first five places, namely Chinese Taipei (1), South Korea (2), Singapore (3), Hong Kong (4) and Japan (5) but also to Hungary (6), England (7), Russian Federation (8), United States (9), Lithuania (10), Czech Republic (11), Slovenia (12), Armenia (13), Australia (14), Sweden (15), Malta (16), Scotland (17), Serbia (18) and Italy (19).

In the three TIMSS 2007 for mathematics in eighth grade level, Malaysia dropped a hefty 45 score points from 519 points in 1999, 508 in 2003 to 474 in 2007 (500 is the TIMSS mathematics scale average). The Australian national report on TIMSS 2007 noted that Australia’s mathematics achievement score of 496 was “not significantly different to the TIMSS scale average” and “significantly higher than the remaining 31 countries, including Italy, Malaysia and Norway”.

For science, Malaysia also plunged below the TIMSS scale average of 500, falling to 471 points in 2007, a drop by 39 points as compared to 2003 (510). In 1999, Malaysia scored 492 points. Malaysia’s ranking in Year 8 science in TIMSS 2007 is No. 21, behind Sinagpore (1), Chinese Taipei (2), Japan (3). South Korea (4), England (5), Hungary (6), Czech Republic (7), Slovenia (8), Hong Kong (9), Russian Federation (10), United States (11), Lithuania (12), Australia (13), Sweden (14), Scotland (15), Italy (16), Armenia (17), Norway (18), Ukraine (19) and Jordan (20).

Ini UNESCO yang kata, bukan aku kata. Kalau UNESCO pun tak mahu ikut cuba bawa kajian lain.

… it is important that every effort should be made to provide education in the mother tongue. …

On educational grounds we recommend that the use of the mother tongue be extended to as late a stage in education as possible. In particular, pupils should begin their schooling through the medium of the mother tongue, because they understand it best and because to begin their school life in the mother tongue will make the break between home and school as small as possible.

(UNESCO 1951:691)
