A dog-eat-dog world
The two main Universities in Singapore, NUS and NTU had just made a vibrant and successful open house over the past few weeks. I should say credit must be given to both Universities for the attractions they carved to invite people, the elites i suppose, to their open house. But in any case, I think NTU have the edge now after enagaging with Perfect 10 98.7FM in what seems to be a collaboration that seem to benefit almost all the parties invovled including the radio listeners.
Yet Open houses, is just a superficial way of knowing a school and in this matter---NUS and NTU. Verily I suppose, those aspiring JC students would have flocked to these 2 open houses in a hope to a catch a glimmer of their "future" school. Pardon me here, I am not undermining the calibre and traditionally upper-classed bunch of students, but I am pointing out to the harsh reality we, in particular, the Malays are facing.
There are many hidden agendas in this well-governed country of Singapore. Yet, when Malay was made the national language after being granted Independance by the Federal Governement in KL, the language itself has played little or no significance in the realm of politics, economic and social aspects here in Singapore. The supposed national tongue, was made second language in the form of Mother tongue which 70% of students loathe it when they reached higher levels. In fact, efforts have been made to prosper the language of Mandarin through ads and campaigns islandwide.
But, this is not to say that Malay is not a celebrated language here in Singapore. Nonetheless, on each year, a month was reserved to be Bulan Bahasa which, i must deliberately emphasised, is rather a tame effort by the government. Such unprecedented events, are only being participated by students in particular embracing the Malay Elective Programme(MLEP) which is only offered by Tampines Juniour College. Hey, i am not promoting my school here but those in the stream of MLAO or MLA are deprived of such privilages. It is, in other words, organising events like Bulan Bahasa specially reserved for the "elites". Yes, the Berita Harian do promote events Islanwide such as launch of books and dictionaries, (KAMUS NUSANTARA was launched last year during Bulan Bahasa), story telling at libraries but sadly, attendance have been at appalingly low rates. In fact, the people of the race themselves are not bothered by such activities.
Efforts have already been made to surpress the beautiful language of Malay itself. The recent university criterion had already dismissed the usage of MT for entry in local universities. More importantly, one can in fact can afford to fail or obtain a D7, which is the bare minimum to enter local universities. Why is this so? It's simple, Chinese is extensively a tough language to learn.
But why? Here you are in Singapore, with Malay language being painted as National Language in National Education boards, but you have the option of screwing it up because you need to strike a balance with other races. The French, for instance, are extremely proud of their language. If you happen to be in France and speak English with them, the "universal language", then i believe you will either get hammered by the Monseiurs or you are saying your last prayers in English. Why the Malays cant take pride in something they have close relations with? Their language!
Back to the original topic itself, ok2...visiting the university open houses is in fact a useful act, wise i supposed because it gives you an idea what requirments are needed, the course syllabus, the FEES and many more. Yet, as i have state earlier, it's just a superficial act. You are only scratching the surface of what seems to be a deep and intriguing journey that awaits you in Uni life. At the end of it, if you walked out of the Open house, and you made up your mind of going there, it is not just a matter of saying it, you need to work extremely hard. You need the drive, determination to go along with your hopes and aspirations, but you Malays out there, can you really achieve it after visiting such Open houses. It takes a tall order to be in there, and please dont joke that the only time you're in NUS and NTU is during their open houses, instead of being an undergraduate there. Please do work hard, as the Unis here do set quotas for the entry of Malay students every year. Its like in the Export-Import trade you see. For example, every year, they set a number of Malay students that are allowed to enter their Unis..and their cant be excessive number of Malays as it could only lead to Unfavorable Balance of Trade, viewed in purely economic terms. This could in turn leads to Balance of Payment Disequilibrium and thus, some Malays, which considerably obtain ok2 result are deprived of their places in the Unis.
So, for those of you who have visited the Universities, please make it a point to make it there again next time, as an undergraduate. I shall pray for all of you to be a successful group of people.

Sacred Feminine and feminism
Sacred Feminine refers to the female aspect of the spiritual which when united with its male counterpart results in perfect harmony.
In other words, the definition of sacred feminine verily links us to the procession of Hermes Gamos--the sexual unison or defined within the parameters of paganists, contact with their "God". Well, superficially, Hermes Gamos do share similar characterisitics with Karma Sutra, the Hindu form of praying but with regards to religious sensitivity, i shall not elaborate on this.
Hollywood, have made attempts to potray the procession itself, but failed to propogate in its actual forms and dyanamics. Such film include Eyes Wide Shut. (Rabak Wai)
In any case, sacred feminine is much related to Paganism, the worship of the unconqured Sun, Sol Invictus. In other words, sacred feminine is part of Sol invictus.
Early Chrisitainity often dubbed the absence of feminism though comments have been made that Jesus himself was the original feminist, viewing purely from religous history. As what my earlier blog that states my doubts on the presence of Jesus as the Son of God, Father and the Holy spirit, a conspiracy grows in the spiritual balance of the religion itself--the argue for recognition of sacred feminine itself. Is Christianity in fact, promotes feminist? Accessing the Malles Maleficarum, that is the witches's hammer, which indoctrinated the laity on the dangers of free-thinking women and instructed the clergy on how to torture and destroy such witches- tht were deemed to include all demale scholars and priestesses. For instance, mid-weives were killed for their skill and knowledge in easing the pain of child-birth, in which it has relations to the suffering of God's punishment for Eve's partaking of the Apple of Knowledge, a transgression that gave rise to Original SIn. During 300 yers of witch hunt, " the Church burnt at the stake an astounding five woman million".
Moreover, pre-Muslim Arab---the reign of Arab Jahilliyah , who embrace on godless torsos or paganism, had extensive evidence of women being killed or supressed. For example, if 2 baby girls are born, either one have to be buried alive. If only one baby girl is delivered, it seems that there is no option but to bury her alive.
To digress meself from this topic, even Chinese, at a particular period of time, were not contented to having baby girls. They do felt that the presence of boys in the family would be a form of blessing to them. Girls, were rather the "sway" sex, viewed in Chinese customs and traditions. The Chinese is without a doubt a hardworking race, possibly could be a prime example to the Malays!!!, but with a girl in their family, it is rather tough and takes a tall order for a girl to support the family or even run the family bussiness. Putting it that way, itz not to say the Chinese are "kiasu", itz juz that they are a bunch of idealist people, with high expectations.
Back to the original topic itself, the Christians might argue the presence of the Virgin Mary "Mother of God" to bring the feminine climate in Christianity godhead, but such aspect only appeared as a lackluster combinationas there is no full partnership and entirely lacks that element of Eros---the Greek god of Erotic love, in which the feminine and masculine most intimately meet.
Thus, this brings the proposition of a conspiracy theory amongst Christian scholars and religous scholars worldwide, on whether Constantine, during his residence as the Roman emperor had in fact placed Mary Magadelene as "Christianity's lost bride". In fact, during the actual procession of making Jesus the Son of God (nau zubillah min zallik) in the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, Constantine the Great, as he was termed, had "borrowed" elements from his actual religion of paganism, Sol Invictus. This includes the Egyptian Sun Discs that became the halos ofCatholic saints, while Isis suckling Horus became an iconic image of Mary and Jesus. Virutally all elements of Catholic ritual were taken from earlier pagan mystery religions. Mithras, an ancient Egypitan God, was called the Son of God and Light of the World was then inexplicably being replaced by Jesus. Besides, Mithras was born on 25th Dec, a date shared with Osiris, Adonis and Dionysus, where Christianity mysteriously turned it into Jesus birthday. Hence, when u look at the actual symbol of Christmas, it X'mas. The subtle presence of X simply defines the unexisting and demonising history of X'mas.
Well, during a hearing at Siglap Mosque by an ex-Nun from Indonesia, she deliberately states that "Christianity is a Pte. Ltd religion". They need to sell thier religion, as the meaning of Catholic itself is universal and all-embracing. In fact, the underlying factor Constantine turns Jesus into "God"(nau zubillah min zalik) was the fact he saw an oppotunity to unify and strengthen the Roman empire, seized all for the purpose of expanding their political power. Thus, a Euro-Christian civilisation was born with its seed generating from the Vatican City, Rome. King James, under his reign, published the King James Bible in 1611, and till today, remains the number 1 bestseller Bible. *The Bible have 61 versions after its original( Old testament produced by the Council of Nicaea) version, in Latin, was finally granted the permission to be translated in other languages* It was because of this that a vaccumm was created for Britain to reside as the "Ruling State of the World".
Based on Christianity and Judaism( since the one emerged from the other), mankind is now subjected to the rule of European civilisation. That is something absoulutely unique in human history. The European system of secular nations eventually produced a novel of international political institution called the flawed League of Nations and then the resurrected as the United Nations. In the name itself, "United Nations", was enshrined the goal of the New World Order created by Europe which sole "hidden" purpose was to unite the world under European political influence and control so that Europe could ecventually rule the world as world government. Political power, as what Constantine initial quest in creating Christianity, was already on the verge of a complete success by his successors.
"Western Civilisation is aiming at nothing less than the incorporation of all of mankind in a single great society and the control of everything in the earth, air and sea..."
(Ibid p166)
Hitler took this opportunity, but his Nazi comrades was rather radical in the eyes of mankind as he based his grounds on the purification of the Aryan race, where Jews in partiucular are discriminated.
Yet, the main question of sacred feminism is not answer yet. Is Mary Magadelene, Jesus wife? Is there a Quranic explanaiton for this!?? Does Mary Magadelene, really exist or Mary is just an icon Constantine created during his reign!? I shall continue on my next blog as there is some research to be done based on Biblical and Quranic evidence. For now, i shall leave you with this to ponder.
Prophet Muhamaad sallahualihi wassalam(P.b.u.H) have reminded us that the Jews and Christians, with the help of Satan, will keep steering us away from the Truth till the very last Hour.
THeir latest act was a Friday Shollah led by a women, which only invites critics from main Muslim bodies worldwide.

Midsummer's Fahmi dream
I know a blank where the wild thyme blows
Where Ox-lips and the nodding violet grows
Quite over canopied with luscious woodbine
With sweet musk rose and with eglantine,
There sleeps the lovely Pahmiao..

The Future that awaits..
I had a chat with Mai, kawanku dari London, and we apparently shares the same dream. Both of us badly and desperately needs to go to Imperial College of London. Ok2, there've been a change of tone here. ahahahz..firstly, itz only a dream..but then, the climate change by the use of words "badly" and "desperately"....
Isit a neccesity to go overseas University? I was checking the college's website and they state formally that the fees required for my course is 13,500 pounds sterling and when convereted to local currency adds up to S$40500. Holy, and that is only the tuition fees. Abih kat sana takkan nak puasa kan hari2? Being a huge fan of food, i think my expenditure on food could add up to S$3650 per annum. Haiz, in other words..pakcik kira sajer...mahal nya but once you obtain a Bachelor of Science or Masters from Imperial, it would be so markatable that firms are competing to get you instead of you finding the right job.

Tennis! The Gentleman's Game..
One of the main pros of the tennis game is that one never makes oontact with the opponent. It's an absolute, yes! Finally, one cant debate me on this. It's confirmed, the hypothesis of no contact in tennis.
Ok, the reason im saying this is that there was a mini-brawl yest while i was playing soccer wif me fellow lads. My team, made of Mayel between the posts, sapek(fauzi 62nd min), chengwei and his friend reached a point where we colonised and terrorised the court by continous winning streaks.
Then came this team, thy shall not mention who. It was in fact an intensed game, with both teams gunning and hungry for victory to keep their feet within the court itself. But, like many other games, CONTACT was made between two, i should exaggerate, well-build gentlemans. From my position, it was obviously maximum contact where shoulders were boulded amongst each other and bodies shoved in order to win the ball. Every inch of muscle and every piece of energy were devoted to that 2s tangle between the two, well that i suppose. Let's juz name the two characters Ajax and Valencia, with Ajax being my team mate. I was flabbergasted after a series of matches and was asking for a substituiton when the unthinkable happened.
In what seems to be a friendly match, ironically filled with building tensions, Ajax, like many great wrestlers, belly flipped Valencia to the ground. Awkward silence broke out, and the 2, staggered in a conversation with it being the centre attraction.
Ajax: Hey, you think i scared of you ah?
Valencia: But i kick the ball what?
Crux of the matter is this. How can Singapore soccer closed the gap with the rest of the world when even it's social form of soccer as mentioned above, has elements of violence in it? How can we produce Ronaldinhos, Eto'os, or even Robben's when inspiring lads like Ansarinho and Super Pippo Avente, Sapek and Nasdinho are traumatised by such incidents. *evil laugh*
Soccer is about having fun, whilst others like Nike in particular, builds on the notion of soccer is about money. Their latest campaign, based on the grounds of racism, and the 2 baller IDs which bear Stand Up Speak Up, seems inappropriate and cant be applied in SEA soccer scene. Social football, sadly, has no forms of protectionism in it. If , in any case you twist your ankles or tear your hamstring, you have to pay it yourself when you visit the clinics. And worst case scenario, is when u engage yourself in a brawl, and you physically, mentally and emotionally hurt by other parties as a result of soccer itself, the FAS aint gonna intervene in that matter or motivate you to continue playing because fact is: It is none of their freaking bussiness. So how can one Stand Up and Speak Up when one is being threathend, while at the same time playing and in contact with his "enemy".
This is the social etiqutte SIngaporeans are living in. If not for the fact that Singapore has shifted from butter trade to an industrial intensive and knowledge based economy, we might just create slumps and ghettos in certain parts of Singapore. Well, we may not live in ghettos or slumps but the characteristics of the indigenous natives in well-developed towns in Singapore are considerably no better than those in the present day back alleys or ghettos in Latin America.
Singapore soccer, i shall deeply elaborate, would not make any progress in the near future. The recent triumph of the Tiger Cup was pure luck for me, not forgetting the fact the Singapore team recruited 3 foreigners in the lights of Bennet, Agu and Itimi. It was a tournament, designated not to crave the best out of SEA soccer, but rather to display an obnoxious and disarray performances by the countries involved. Sadly, when the Singapore team took to the field at the final, they adopted a meek defensive option whilst the Indonesians kept whining and moaning for a goal. Well, indra scored but, looking back at it, the Indonesians aimed at coming out strong but something seemed to held them back. But, its all over now, with the Singapore clubs plying their trade in the Asians' Champions League. Ze Roberto once said that if you're playing for a club in England, you gotta play like them, if not you aint gonna win anything. As for my case, I am playing in Germany and I have to adopt to German tactics and strategies.
Come to think of it, is there a Singaporean brand of football? Well, at the back of my head says gangsterism and violence, glittering on the outside and shallow on the inside. One brand you can relate to Singapore soccer though, TIGER BEER! muahhaahha...
OK now, back to tennis. Amz wants some enlightement on Tennis and here it is.
But first, Amz, imagine you and Ronaldinho are in a tennis game. You are playing against him. hahaz..The scenario: He serves, but you managed to score a point during his serve. That's a break point. Alternatively, you serves but Ronaldinho gets a point while you serve. That's a break too. The idea of a break point is that, theoratically, when one serves, he or she should be on the offensive and the probability of scoring is higher. Serving is also an integral part of the game, where players like Andy Roddick only knows how to score with aces and nothing else.
An advantage occurs when there's deuce: 40-40. And when a player gets a point in that situation after a serve, its adv for him. Its the same like saying 50-40 but i think the whites are more comfortable with saying adv. If u and Ronaldinho are tied 40-40(deuce situn here), and you score, they say advantage Ameera. I think such phrases do psyched you up and with the crowd behind you, chances are you might juz win the point. Imagine the umpire says, disadv ronaldinho...hahahaz
tapi pak kita anak muda! Ada cita rasa tersendiri!
tapi tok, sampai bila mahu jadi gini!
tapi mak, kerana ibu peritwi, maka tercetus revolusi ini!

Kamikaze
The actual origins was not born during the period of World War II, where Japanese airplanes or fighter jets swooshed their planes into the prime and prominent US millitary ships and vessels. (Urgh..i forgot the names)
Well, the name kamikaze is in fact a typhoon, that intervened during the 1500s that miraculously saved the isolated and discreet Japanese from invasion and annexation in the hands of the Mongols.
The typhoon, termed as "kamikaze" by the Japanese, swept away hundreds of ships that were approaching coastal Japan. It was the works of nature that in fact saved Japan from the feasible invasion in the form of the Mongols!
Julia: Awang, seni adalah rasa hati seorang seniman setelah ia berkontak dengan kepada keindahan yang ada dengan sekelilingnya. Dan seni yang setinggi-tingginya adalah apabila telah berkumpul di dalam nya keadilan, keindahan yang dipaterikan dengan cinta yang kudus..
Awang: Takkan hidupmu mahu bermatakan rantai dari keluhan? Seni tarimu adalah murah dari segi etika dan maruah. Aku rela melawan kehendak nafsuku yang menghala kepada keburukan dan sanngup aku melawan kenhendak nafsu yang lalai dari keburukan. Bukan sahaja aku mengatakan kata-kata ini dengan lidahku, tetapi diikitikadkan dengan hati sanubariku.
Yeey, does love really needs persuasion? Awang doesnt like Julia being a dancer, but Julia falls in love with Awang due to his strong prinsips. Told you, love is abstract!

Haiz, penat ji!
I gez today was probably one of the most tiring days in my 19 years on this earth...
Haiz, since it a Friday, the Muslims would then grace the mosques islandwide to pray Sholat Jummat. Im not sure if any of you had listen to this but one of my friends told me a weird yet believable story during one of Friday prayers.
Ok, it goes like this: One day, a man dressed up as a terrorist went to a mosque who are about to perform their duty to God( Friday prayer). Then he shouted: "Any one of you willing to sacrifice yourself in the name of Allah?! as he raised his gun. I predict it could be an AK-47.
Guess what! 90% of the jemmah(muslims left) and it was estimated only 2 safs were left after that! Then, the man who had juz terrorised almost the entire mosque told the Imam: You may continue now, for those who are true Muslims shall fight and sacrifce themselves in the name of Allah and Islam. He undressed his mask and it was a fruitful prayer indeed!
Well, this story boils down to a question that keep popping in my mind? Is religion, between and within its dimensions, promotes violence or isit grounding its followers to protect human security? We do hear the ever resounding religionist that declares their commitment to peace and claim that religoion can bring about a more peaceful world.
Nowadays, many religions tends to promote inter religious co-operation aimed at a guaranteeing a secure present life for all humans. Yet, in contrast to reality, such claims to be myopic and flawed if actual European history is clearly examined and accesed. The Europeans, since their establishement of modern secular civilisation, clearly divided the world into 2 parts. Communist vs democracy. It's clearly shown that the framework of these 2 political system are entirely different, with its implicaton on economic, social, religious and political issues became the order of the day. During the period of the Cold War, the world had been the main audience viewing the US and the USSR promoting and "selling their political systems with each coutry became its customer.
Well, to expect all non-western societies to follow the eg of western civilisation in secularising themeselves is also a rather naive belief, propogated by the fundamentalists of their western secular democracy. With the end of the Cold War, one version of this alt secular religion, the Marxist-Stalinist states lost power(but not entirely), but the neo-liberal version stressing universal liberism now prospers under the hegemony of the United States, making them the ruling state of the world, allowing themselves to practise their main assimilations of their forefathers, in the name of Benjamin Franklin, Roosevelt(and the list go on), Equality Fraternity and Liberty.
In such circumstances, it does inspire the French in their for French revolution, and US and French forged quite an alliance with the French granting one of the most recognised monuments in the world to the Americans, the Statue of Liberty after the US had intervened in the 100 years Anglo-French conflict which ended in a sweet French victroy!
Yet, this is not to say that the victorious US had, in thier hands, stop any religous conflict all over the world. In fact, here i am proposing this simplistic picture of communinst and democrats and take a more complex approach, distinguishing among the difft socio-cultural realities which are loosely grouped together under the label of religion, ignoring the differences and tensions which exists among them.( Dalam ni...)
Unfortunately, wars and conflict do occur, yet one have to be reminded that such events does have a beginning an ending. The death of Lenin in 1924 saw the reign of communist for another 63 years later after the fall of the berlin wall. Hitler, whose initial concrete dream boasted the reign of his NAZI for 1000 years, only solidified for a period of 12 years after the end of World War II. Hence, with the help of carefully drawn international legal instruments define the rights and obligations of belligerent and neutral parties in inter-state wars. In the case of domestic conflict, where racism prevailed as a result of Social Darwinist theory, humanitarian law and human rights law tries to protect the security of the civilian population, the members of armed forces and guerillas though not "terrorist". The beginning and end of these conflicts are blurred in an endemic state of insecurity. Thus, the question of religiosity, among many others, somehow undermined its role and power in this world, where religon have yet deteroriate in a godless European civilisation, where the embracing religion have somehow played really a minor part in one's life.
We must thus look at the historical-structural dynamis of each religion. Perhaps the 3 main religion: Islam, Christianity and Judaism( Jews) which purely based on stats, have the most number of followers. In all periods of human history, either ancient or modern, different type of religiosity supported the formation of difft sets of security communities, with varying forms of interaction, conflict and co-operation among them. Their impact on the communities was determined not by the religion as such, but by their interactions with political power groups, whose interests, whose interest determined the intepretation of their creed, the performance of their rituals and the models of good practices. Roman catholic originated from Rome, with one of its Roman emperor( alamak lupa ah), presided the Council of Nicazea, which eventually establish Chrisitianity along with the help of their religous scholars, became a religion that longed believe the power of Jesus Christ, the Father and the Holy Ghost although some elementary dyanamics of Christians had been influenced by ancient Egyptian religion and Paganism with the cross, being one of the ultimate sign of the Christian, was in fact derived from ancient Egyptian religion. Pagans, particularly in British, were suprressed under the period of prosperity and decadence, fervour and moderation of Christianity.
Thus, the different historico-structural complex systems of each religion, or within each religion in fact!( pls check my earlier blog on BLOODY MARY!), had in fact led to the complex modes of interaction between religions, which involve syncretism, debates, reciprocal influences, tensions, mutual denigration and even violent hostilities. For instance, the Palestinians, who were drived out of their homeland by the Jews in Jerusalem, the continous Muslim vs Chrisitian conflict in Indonesia.
It is within such complex interaction between security communities and inter-religious trends and strucutes that we can realistically address the question of whether religons are for or against human security.
"Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet( sallahu 'alahi wa sallam) said: Black Banners shall emerge from Khorasan( i.e an area which is now included in Afghanistan, Pakistan and a little in Iran and Central Asia) and no force will be able to stop them until they are inserted in Aelia( Jerusalem)."

Just got rejected by a team on 25ht March. Urgh, but i need to keep my spirits up.
Still in a hunt for a team that could possibly battle with us neck to neck, skill with skill..Bt everyone, i suppose, is waiting for the debut of Hamlau, whose leg have been screwed, literally.
O well, let's hope he makes a great return, and in a hope to inspire and rejuvenate the team in case we are losing halfway thru the game. (padahal)
On more important note, si Ghani nak main mana? Forword atau defender..i rather have him with me at the back because his a great tackler and a man marker. Well, i gez Juventus supporters are like that, it juz flows in the blood. I mean Juventus is nowhere near a fair play team.
Discussing with pahmiao now, nak training ke tak nak. Im not sure if its history repeats itself but we did actually train before our memorable triumph 5-4 against Chengwei's team. hahahhaha..Si pahmiao suggest 24th but i guess its too risky for that. Takot nanti kaki terpeleot lagi. Bt sadly,
ANSARINHO and
AZMI MAGNIFICO would not be making their presence on that very day...what a miss to these two lads who had been a great servant and been an integral part of the TEAM MERAH. tears rolling down..but without them, i suppose we should
TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL!
And with every single aspect covered in the front, it is now up to Ishmael to fulfil his invincible ability between the posts, to stop thy enemies shot's into the demon's hole. A simple solution would be to place the girl( out of our league) ahemz!! and i swear it would boost the moral of the whole team.

Jerusalem In the Quran
Jerusalem In the Quran.. A must read to all interested in religious histroy and the future happenings, events and the saga at the "Last Hour".
In any case, we are already living the Last Hour!! A period where a day like a week. Forgive me if i made some mistake here.
Muhammad s.a.w( p.b.u.h) has prophecised in Ahadith that once the Dajjal, the false Messiah( al-masih al dajjal) is released into the world, he would live for forty days. Day One would be a day like a year. Day 2 would be a day like a month, Day 3 would be a day like a week and the so on would be the rest of our normal days.If most of u were not aware of this, please take note that the dajjal with the Gog and Magog had already been released onto the face of this earth!!!!!!! How? When? Why?
Yes, they are already sharing the same space as us, breathing the same air as us, but im not really sure what they really consume. The balance of power in Europe, was only made possible by the pioneers of Industrial Revolution, the British. They were the once Ruling State of the World, monopolising the world economy, annexing territories which eventually resulted in the Commonwealth of the British colonies( gez wad..Singapore is once a crown colony in SEA!! hahaz)..The pound sterling is once the world currency, and every currency is subjected to its inflation and deflation. It was during this period that we are living in a
DAY LIKE A YEAR.Yet, the balance of power in the Europe had been upset with the World War I and World War II which had significantly drained British resources, output and industrial production. The British thus relied heavily on the US for food, clothing and ammunition. This vacuum created by the British led the US to be the new Ruling State of the World. Its atomic bombs, which inevitably destroyed and carved a horredous aftermath in the 2 beautiful cities in JAPAN, was second to none in other countries. It was during the shift of power that the world is a
DAY LIKE A MONTH.
The establishement of the state of Israel in 1948, which Allah have destroyed 2000 years ago was one of the few major venue(Jerusalem) that the world would eventually view at the last hour. Jews, as all of you have been informed, are scattered on the face of this earth. Originated from Babylon, present day Iraq, the Jews had faced scythe-like and swift attacks from the Babylonian army which forced them to move to Egypt. There they met the impregnable Roman forces which again drive them out of the land of the Pyramids. The funny thing is that they didnt see Hitler coming to haunt them...hahaz, thanz to hitler, who based his prinsips on the purification of the Aryan race, the Jews have to flee again all over the world to rescue their lives from the infamous Holocaust!
World War III is coming, with one of its most obvious sign is the collapse is the US economy. Again, the very last hour would saw the rise of a Muslim army, hailed from the lands of Afghanistan. Surprised? Dont be, it would not be an army from the lands of the Arabs that we would see the eventual triumph of Islam at the last hour. Its gonna be the Afghans, for Allah has choose them to destroy the Jews in Jerusalem, where they, the Jews, shall face the utmost brutal divine punishment. Any surprises why OSAMA is hiding in the scraps of the Afghanistan's caves or mountains? Nays to those CIA and FBI, whom till this day, had limited or no knowledge of the whereabouts of this Holy Man.
Judgment day is coming..its haunting, with some major signs had occured. For instance, the recent Tsunami disaster in Aceh. Well, its not only Aceh that suffered from the catastrophic event, in fact, other countries like Sri lanka, India, Thailand, Somalia and Pulau Pinang had to face bits and pieces of the sudden tsunami attack.
In any case, there would be 3 major earthquakes at 3 major continents. The EAst, the West and at the Middle East. The East had just witnessed one, whilst the other 2 lands are juz waiting for their fate.
-The Sea of Galilee, shall bear no water.
-The date-palm trees of Baysan shall bear no fruit,
-the lake of Tabariyyah shall bear no water
-the spring of Zughar shall bear no water.
This is dajjal's promise, when the criterion above had been fulfilled that he will make his presence felt on this earh. Well, he is already on this earth, itz juz a matter of time before him being freed from his tied up chain. Surprisingly, the British housed or hosted the chained Dajjal. Oh no Mai, kat sana jaga diri baik2 eh!!!?? Dajjal is somewhere in Britain..Tak seram ka?
Are we now living in a
DAY LIKE A WEEK??Frankly, time is now moving swiftly, with a week now makes a day. Its so weird..pejam celik pejam celik dah hari baru...Wallahualam

Yang itu Dian Sastrowojoyo, star of Ada Apa Dengan Cinta. Si rangga, her co-star, is a very cute guy, after conducting surveys with my frens. But one thing in common though, me n rangga rambut kerinting..hahaz...
She's so freaking hot..Nak kata apa kan..Dah indonesian kan, voi..Aloha..Aleh Va Va Va~!
SIapa nak jawab? Kalau Sapek kata, she's in her league of her own.
Nak kata apa kan, dah power. Well, i cant really deny that but i have a point to put across here.
Feminism, isit a Western misconception till it had massive influence on the woman on the eastside of the earth--- The rather cultured and sophisicated group of woman
Yeah, fight for woman's rights. WE WANT MORE! WE WANT MORE! WE WANT TO BE INDEPENDANt(eg FINANCIALLY, STATUS) and the list go on.
O wells, fight but you cant lead. But one thing is for sure tho, a pretty woman, with a personality and some qualities can be a deadly combination, dangerous. I have this eerie feeling that they can be better than man, can easy pin down any obstacle that came to bump in their quest for ultimate liberty.

Ok..the Christians claimed that there is one God----God himself, the Holy Ghost and Son Of God. The Holy Trinity, as what ive typed above is One God. But what i actually counted is 3..
Let me count again using Mathematics at its finest
-Father
-Holy Ghost
-Son Of God( Jesus Christ)
It's 1+1+1=3..but they claim there is 1 God.
Tipah tertipu bang, macam mana ni?
But fellow Muslims, please keep ur faith strong. There is bound to be other religons in the world. Its impossible to have each and every earthling on this piece of world to be a Muslim,
It has already been stated in the Koran Surah Kaffirun..Thy religion and thou religion. Thy shall tolerate and there shall be no hatred.

Bloody Mary
I always thought that Bloody Mary was the Mary that can be found in the Koran, the Old and New Testaments and some other relevant religious scriputres by the main religions in the World.
Well, my prediction is wrong. My initial thought was that Bloody Mary, a mixture of vodka and tomato juice, is a peculiar sign of anti-christ, potrayed in the form of a drink rather than in a revoultion or anti-Christ sentiments like being displayed by the Satanic group.
Ok! haha for me. I checked the actual history now..Mary was in fact the Queen of England(1508-I forgot)..An extremely loathed Queen and at a time where Protestant movements were rampant and continous supression suffered by the catholics, England was literally divided into two blocks. MOre importantly, it was the beginning of the creation of the Anglican Church and the fundamentals of Protestant. Civil war broke out, prominently based on religious grounds and such circumstances saw extreme brutatlity, deaths and widespread suffering. Probably more brutal than the word itself, thus the word bloody manifest in the most oblivious manner.
THe Queen not only failed to handle the prevailing religious issues in England, she was also termed headless torsos as no one would ever listen to her. Under her reign, many was sacrificed. It was until the reign of Queen Elizabeth I that religion was given a priority and thus, religious issues are discarded in the utmost tolerance.
No one, can forget Mary, how bloody can she get!!??

Life is like a box of chocolates....
The notion of who we are is who we were!
On a personal level, it is to say that the history shape us, the features and routines of our ancestors, practices and traditions, emphatically define what we manifest ourselves today..
Well, if i touch about the Malays..a seemingly progressive yet backward race. For one, the malays themselves are being termed the natives or indigenous people here in the Southeast Asian region, or possibly known as the Annamites, their rather more biological and scientific term. The Berita Harian themselves have potrayed a series of Forum articles regarding "Melayu Ghaib", and one of the most interesting part of the series is that early British historical records, considering the very fact that they are our colonial masters, have particularly singled out the lifestyles of the Malays, and it came at no surprise.
It clearly wrote the Malays, are rather the relaxed, to put it in a positve manner, and considered to be at the root bottom in the international social hierachy the English have ever come across. Ok, my point is this. The British came here to annex their land, and what the resistance they met could not be greeted any more positive. Contradisticntion to the fierce and brutal resistance met by the British in India, Myanmar, Nepal and South africa, it was particularly a deal any British governer could seal. The Sultan was money driven, whilst at the same time failed to adhere to the changes of the world, which was already greeted by the Westernised region during the period of the Renaisaance and Industrial Revolution. The "rakyat", shall i emphaised, adopt a more than juz lepak lifestyle. They never strive for more. The Malays, whose relations with nature had already shown solid evidence, were rather happy and felt blessed with what they have. They rather sit, sleep, eat and just watch the world change, with no drive or intentions to catch up other races.
Sadly, this legacy continues till today. The Malays, have nothing..absouletly zero to be proud of. If their literature were to be a main source of pride, other languages do have a complex and monolithic forms of literature too. If their customs and tradition are matched up with the Whites or Yellow Chinese, if it is measured economically, i would say quality is rather more prominent in other cultures.
Orang Putih tak kawin bawah block..sebab tak hensem!!!!!!! Pergi jemputan pakai coat, shirt, bow and smart shoes..kalau bawah block pakai t-shirt macam mat kental kirakan dah leh pass off!Then why is KL(menjerit), which host the promising Petronas towers aint a world class metropolitan city?? Have u watched the nifty yet propaganda driven ad on "Malaysia: Truly Asia". Gez wad! Come to think of it, it is so not Malaysia..itz juz Pulau Tioman, located offshore of the coast of Johore and Melaka..U cant expect such recepiton at KLIA, like KL??!! eeeeeeeee terok nya tempat tu..Bt more importantly, kudos to the Chinese, Shanghai is knows as the NEw YOrk of Asia..Thus i shall visit it one day..!!
Haiz..Melayu, Melayu..they say hidop melayu tapi achap kata, BILA NAK MAJU!!??? betol jugak..haiz, orang bikin steamship, dia bikin rakit..orang makan kat meja beribu2 dollar ngan pinggan, dia makan duduk bawah pakai daun pisang..orang masak pakai stove dia pakai arang..anak cina belajar pakai abacus, dia duduk bawah blok main gitar..orang cina hisap opium mintak tenaga, dia hisap nak kasi hi..apa dah..ibu ayam bertelor riuh sekampung, itulah kehidupan orang melayu..sikit ajer bangga..Orang Melayu lahirkan pakar bedah pertama di Singapura, bukan main front cover lagi u!..padahal2..bangsa lain dah macam2 dah ada. haiz..kalau bidang politik jgn kata ah, semuanya kaki mengampu.
Haiz, imagine this..if the upper class of the malay hierachy aint tat effective to perpetuate a stimulated progression within their race in this intensively evolutionised world, how can we put such tremendous weights on the middle class and the peasants i should say at the other bottom halF?? balik lepak, mana2 lepak, apa2 malas, biar orang lain bikin, kita pakai, bila nak cipta nama di mata dunia???
