Pain In Agony

Nak disambungkan cerita, esoknye Pai membawa rombongan kami melawat sekitar kota Bath.
Sangat menarik. gambar2 saye tak tangkap, sebab rasa tak berbaloi. Photographer sehebat mana pun, dengan di-equip- SLR yang canggih macam mana pun, kecantikan pemandangan kat bukit Bath nie memang takkan dapat di terjemahkan begitu saja.
Dengan angin yang sepoi-sepoi ala-ala kesejukan, ditambah kehijauan bukit tu, plus ngan terpampangnya kecantikan kota itu sendiri.. MasyaAllah.. Kalau manusia boleh cipta macam ini, sudah tentu ciptaan Allah jauh lebih indah..

Selepas itu, kitorang pegi kawasan 'komersial' die plak. Penuh dengan kedai-kedai yang menjual poskad2 dan cenderahati lain. dan yang peliknya, terlalu banyak kedai yang menjual patung ala-ala babs@lembu serama gitu. Hebat sangat binatang ni sampai di puja sedemikian tinggi disini. Kiri-kanan taman rekreasinya, tersergam 'indah' pokok yang diukir menjadi bentuk binatang nie.

memang penuh la binatang neh. aku ade terbaca, ade kisah babs ngan raja kat Bath dulu. ape bende ntah.. so pigs kat bath nie macam 'legend' r.. lols~
Kat sini aku ade beli fridge pnye magnet ngan postcards...
=)

Kemudian, kitorang pegi Birmingham. Tido di masjid disana.
esoknya, pg manchester.
dekat manchester pon tido kat mesjid.
Esok paginya, bertolak ke Old Trafford.


Ade la aku masuk sekejap dalam 15 minit.. Entah kenapa ntah, nafsu bola aku macam dah takde.. malas rasenye nak masuk 'tour' tengok dressing room players etc.. kene bayar 8.5 pound plak tuh.. haisyh.. last2 aku dok jalan ngan Midi je kat luar stadium.. best jugak!
N the best-est part ialah when ktorang men SNOW!!!
yup. dekat depan parking lot stadium neh, ade manchester pnye trinity.



Ape ntah mende neh.. tapi yang bestnye kat sini snow die tebal. I had my first EVER snow war!
besh gile. wat bulat2 pastu baling. saket dow~ kalo maleh, amik serbuk2 tu pastu letak dalam baju orang senyap2. kompon org tu jadik cam ulat gonggok kpanasan. hahaha...

oppss.. lupe.. sblom sampey manchester ktorang ade pegi satu stadium buruk.. ape ntah name nye.. ha.. baru aku ingat.. ANFIELD LIVERPOOL. seyesly, sangat burok.
no wonder dis season depe men trok je.. number bape skunk? 5? haha
*maleh amek gamba kat sana. xlawa pon.*
=P


oh ye.. dekat manchester plak, aku ditugaskan menemani roslan untuk pulang ke London.
YUP, pulang KE LONDON pada hari itu, dan bertolak semula ke Glasgow pada HARI YANG SAMA. Kami bertolak pukol 5 lebey kurang, sampai London pukol 930. pukol 11 malam, kami bertolak semula ke Glasgow, sampai disana pukol 7 PAGI. hebat tak?
perjalanan sepatutnya mengambil masa 8 jam je, tapi kami tido sekejap tengah jalan. tak larat. mengantok!
nie la perjalanan paling mengagumkan bg aku.
600 miles in one NIGHT!
sampai2 glasgow baru kami solat subuh.

lepas tu ape lagi, trus tido la! mane taknye, tak tido satu malam letih jadik co-driver lg! huh.....
dalam pkol 11 pg, ktorang pg Edinburgh plak! gile masyuk!~
lawa la tempat tu lebey kurang. castle cun2. tp the best part, aku ade beli cashmere!
sape yang tak taw cashmere tu ape, boleh la ye google-googlekan diri anda.. hek3..
=)


selepas semua tu selesai, kami pun memulakan sesi PMS pada malam itu juga. Maka bermulalah perjalanan mengenal diri dan tuhan~~

وَاللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ بِسَاطاً (١٩
Dan Allah telah menjadikan bumi bagi kamu sebagai hamparan

لِتَسلُكوا ِمِنها سُبُلًا (٢٠
Supaya kamu melalui jalan-jalan yang luas padanya.

Surah Nuh, ayat 19-20

Itulah dia, Allah menceritakan kepada kita betapa Allah telah menghamparkan bumi yang luas ini untuk kita berjalan-jalan melihat kebesaran dan keagungan kekuasaan Allah. Ternyata, peribahasa jauh berjalan luas pemandangan itu selari dengan tuntutan, agar kita berkelana melihat dan menginsafi kehebatan maha suci Allah yang menciptakan segala-galanya.

Alhamdulillah, dengan keizinan-Nyalah, dapat aku sertai jaulah Majlis Syura Muslimun, MSM London
ke Glasgow Scotland. Kami bertolak pada hari sabtu, kira-kira jam 12 tgah hari.
Destinasi pertama, Portsmouth.

Rasanya perlu aku nyatakan disini, ini merupakan kali kedua aku berkelana keluar kota London. Dan pada kali yang pertama aku keluar pada waktu malam. Jadi ternyatalah perjalanan kali ini jauh lebih mencabar, apatah lagi hari sabtu yang lalu merupakan hari pertama cuti bagi kebanyakan universiti di kota London ini.



Ternyata, kami memang menghadapi keperitan pada awal perjalanan, sehinggakan masa yang diambil untuk keluar daripada kota london sendiri adalah kira-kira 3jam. Nak dijadikam cerita, musim winter ni, maghrib masuk pukul 3.50pm. Maka kelam kelabut la kami dibuatnya untuk mencari tempat solat untuk menjamakkan zohor dan asar dalam waktu asar. Akhirnya solatlah kami kira-kira jam 3 di tepi jalanraya. Best jugak sebenarnya. =)



Oh ya, sebelum aku terlupa, dalam jaulah ini aku menaiki kereta yang diapndu oleh Syed Roslan. Agak horror jugak pada mulanya beberapa(?) kali enjin kereta mati. Hehe. Tapi setelah beberapa ketika, selamat juga kami sampai akhirnya.

Selepas itu kami pun trus ke cardiff bay. Amik gamba katanya. Tapi ntahlah. Xnampak macam banyak spot menarik je.. Mungkin sebab waktu malam kot. Tp still rasa sangat seronok. Sebab dapat lari-lari keliling kwasan tu. Hee~~ kira-kira dalam pukul 11 gitu kami pun alhamdulillah selamat sampai ke Bath.



Disinilah... MasyaAllah.. Kami dihidangkan dengan pemandangan yang super indah. Bak kata hazwan, ultimate tahapnya. Lol~


panjang lagi sebenarnya kisah jaulah PMS 09 ni. Tapi lain kali kot.. Dah penat..
=)



- Posted by Blog-owner Aqmin

Alhamdulillah.
Mood sekarang: tak down.
=)


Semalam, aku diajak oleh Naqash ngan Umar pg debate psal Shariah law.
Tapi pg tengok je la. bukan debate. hehe

Hebat sebenarnya kalau kita perhatikan betapa 'bersatu' dan 'teguh' nya muslim di sini.
Nak tahu kenapa?
Jom tengok.

Tajuk debate tu: "Is Shariah Law Compatible with the Modern World?"
Speakers die :
1) Brendon O'neill:editor of Spiked Online Magazine.
2)Jamal Harwood:Islamic writer and Economist.

Mula2, Brendon yang start dulu.
Premise die,
-Law yang ada sekarang pun die tak kata 100% elok. Die Marxist.*Socialist*
-Die anggap 'Law' hanya perlu untuk menghukum 'perbuatan' yang men'cedera'kan orang.
-Bagi dia Shariah law is not compatible because of 2 reasons.
-It dwells with human thought and intentions.
-There is no EQUALITY under the Shariah Law.As in a women's testament is valued less than a man's testament. women cannot do this that etc2.
-Dia juga ada cakap kalau nak buat Shariah jugak, buat small institution under current law.
-N die cakap kalau shariah law diapprove, nanti akan ada 'inter-religious' justice, as in setiap orang akan mintak untuk diadili dengan 'law agama' masing2, and mcm kita semua tahu, agama kat sini ada macam2, sampaikan yang superpelik pon ada, orang dok reka2. nanti takut ada orang reka agama untuk dia selamat sorang2. lebey kurang gitu la.

lepas tu Jamal cakap.
Sorry la. Aku tak pay attention sangat Jamal cakap ape.
tapi basically die neh orang yang 'lembut' as in tak garang r. die cakap dengan sopan santun gitu. tapi as a debater, korang taw r.. aku jenis yang suka meletop2 pnye. bukan baik hati..hehe
tapi point die basically pasal:
-Islamic Law-based on Quran. Is already IN british law.
-Proof:ade beberapa law yang die sebut, and die cakap sama mcam Shariah.
-n then die banyak bidas isi brendon. dia cakap islam tak dwell on thoughts. action jugak.
tapi action yang islam consider adalah action yang boleh meng'harm' society. suma action neh ada hukuman.
-n then dia cakap Shariah Law based on self belief. so ada perasaan guilt alongside fear of punishment. dapat jadik deterrent untuk wat crime.

Pastu Brendon tanya pasal

''are you free to say things about Muhammad? If no, then that means Shariah Law dwells with thoughts. Ppl will not have the freedom''.

Waktu neh, korang boleh tengok basically audience yang terdiri dari 98% muslim(which aku rase x kondusif untuk such debate) jadik tegang.
semua orang macam emo.

Jamal jawab x. sebab ape ntah. aku tak faham sangat part neh.
tapi kalau aku la kne jawab, aku akan cakap:
"shariah law DOES NOT forbid u from saying bad things about Muhammad. But it forbids u from saying bad things about anyone, unless those bad things are meant to change for the better. Unless those things are for leaders, which can be criticized. But in the case for Muhammad, he is Ma'sum, as in he did not do anything wrong. So there is nothing bad to say about him, except those things are all lies."

Pastu masuk session Q&A.
korang xkan percaya, kalau aku cakap dari 98% tuh, lebey kurang 70% suma angkat tangan nak tanya. Opss.. bukan tanya sebenarnya. nak 'attack' Brendon.
Sedih gak sket tengok camne Muslim kalau emo. Diorang cakap penuh emo tau. tanya mcam2.
Tapi on the other side, jelas terpapar, bila ia menglibatkan aqidah dan kepercayaan, Muslim memang bersatu.
antara yang menyayat hati, bila ramai muslimat bangun n cakap
"man and woman are NOT equal. that's just how it is. scientifically facts had shown that women can do something that man cannot, and vice versa."
"A women maximum daily energy usage is as such as such whereas a man is as such as such. that's why women cannot be treated equally as men''
"Allah is Adil. He put woman is such position but put us higher in another aspect''

Ko bayanglah.. si brendon neh cakap sket je.
muslimat2 kat sini suma macam mercun kena api. meletop!
brendon balas
"well.. I have to say.. I cannot say anything other than "I can't Believe this""
gile kan?

Pastu yang muslimin pon x kurang hebat.
ade yang cakap
''What you are saying now is that Shariah Law is too strict. 50 years ago, when the West is practically uncivilised in historical terms, they also did not accept Shariah Law. There is a guy like Mr. Brendon, saying that shariah is too soft. after 50 years, Mr Brendon here stood saying Shariah Law is too strict. And my guess is, in the next 50 years, there will be another Mr Brendon saying Shariah Law is too weak again."
"If you want us to believe Shariah law is not valid, you need to make us believe the Quran is not valid.''
''Muslim have fear not in the Law, but in Allah''
" We believe justice is when Allah said its just.''

Hebat kan?

Banyak lagi sebenarnya soklan2 tyme Q&A.
sume cam meletop2.
betul lah lagu S.O.A.,
"lesson number 1, don't ever mess with Muslim''

Tapi kekadang aku terpikir.. hrm..
Kalau aku jadik Brendon, apa preception aku lpas debate tu...
Allahu'alam.
n btw, selamat tahun baru Hijrah.
Jadikanlah ini satu peluang untuk berhijrah kepada yang lebih baik.

Sekarang ni, dah hampir 3 bulan dok dkat kota london neh.
Macam-macam dah terjadi, *jeng3...*
berkali-kali dah muka jadik kebas sejuk, tangan hilang deria rasa etc2...
lepas nieh, kalau balik Malaysia, aku akan tak segan-segan nak mintak tido dalam peti ais.
kalau setakat air-cond 16C, tak rasa apa2.
dah biasa~
lol..



besar kemungkinan disebabkan cuaca yang super sejuk nie jugak lah, aku rasa, hati aku mengecut.
hilanglah sudah ruang untuk kegembiraan, kesedihan atau keriangan untuk berada didalamnya.
serius, sekarang aku macam robot yang dah nak abeh bateri.
tak ada perasaan.



Bayangkan, aku dah ada plan nak pg Scotland, pastu nak pg France.
logically, aku sepatutnya rasa gembira+excited.
tapi aku tak rasa happy, excited @ mana-mana adik beradik mereka.
LANGSUNG.


tiap2 hari, bila bangun dari tido, aku rasa bosan.
macam kalau ko main game the sims, karakter dalam tu dah melompat2 merungut die boring.
Kalau macam tu takpe lagi, aku taw, pg tengok tv, takpon maen pool, nanti die akan seronok kegembiraan balik.
tapi aku tak.
Oh ya, aku juga dah mendonlod game the sims, simcity dan adik beradik mereka.
aku main, x sampai sejam, aku akan cakap
~BOSAN~



bila buat homework, lagilah.
Aku buat sebab nak siapkan je.
ade la sket2 excitement bila bayang markah yg lecturer nak kasik.
tapi basically aku macam dah 'lali'.
macam kalo ko makan apple, mula-mula sedap, tapi bila dah sampai apple yang ke 27, ko rasa tak larat nak kunyah.
macam tu la aku rasa hidup skunk.



cakap pasal apple, teringat lak aku teori utility.
Teori ni, macam yang aku penah sentuh before this, telah dicipta oleh Jeremy Bentham dan rakan-rakannya.
*nota:mayat jeremy bentham masih berada di Wilkins Building, UCL.*
Mereka menggelar diri mereka Utilitarism, satu kumpulan yang memperkenalkan penggunaan sukatan 'nilai' pada benda.
Contoh,
apa 'nilai' sekeping roti?
berbeza kan antara seorang kaya dan seorang miskin?
utility adalah 'kepuasan' yang diperoleh seseorang daripada membeli/mendapat sesuatu benda.
basically dia seolah-olah mem'value'rise kan semua benda, termasuklah keindahan alam, pencemaran, malah jugak nyawa.
ya betul, nyawa.
Bagi mereka, kalau 'kepuasan' membunuh kamu lebih tinggi dari 'kepuasan' membiarkan kamu hidup, maka kamu perlu dibunuh.
terkejut bukan?


Owh, tapi itu bukan poin saya.
saya nak beritahu ke'down'nan saya.
yang ntah disebabkan apa atau kenapa.
Apa yang aku buat, mesti salah.
apa yang aku cakap, mesti salah.
apa lah yang tak kena agaknya.
adakah disebabkan aku telah 'makan' hidup dengan banyak sehinggakan aku rasa tak larat dah?
adakah aku perlu 'berhenti makan' hidup?


Ya Allah.. tolong..
aku rasa cam nak pengsan je.
dahla rasa cam asyik salah.
I can't take this anymore.
I felt 'so heavy' inside.
Maybe its time?

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Baca tajuk macam ni, terus rasa berat anak mata.
betul tak?
Amaran:Post ini agak panjang. Dan ia memang berkenaan Falsafah.
Anda tak minat? Anda yang rugi~

Ingat lagi tak, dulu dalam sekolah rendah menengah dulu, pernah ada dalam silibus
Pendidikan Agama Islam. Waktu tu, semua semangat nak menghafal.
Takpun semangat nak buat 'logik' jawapan. Supaya nanti waktu exam senang sikit nak hamburkan semua point-point ni.

Tapi betulkah kita benar-benar faham?
ok, ayat cliche. ayat bosan, expired.
tp masih relevan. Apa sebenarnya dimaksudkan dengan Ilmu ya?

Adakah ianya subjek-subjek yang kita pelajari?
adakah ianya segala kemahiran yang kita perolehi?
Atau adakah ianya segala 'A' yang kita usahakan?



Sukar sebenarnya untuk saya jawab perkara ini.
Ilmu itu pada asasnya sangat luas maksudnya.
kalau nak dibahaskan, rasanya saya akan berpegang kepada ''semua perkara yang dilakukan secara sedar,-consciously- adalah ilmu''.
bercakap, ilmu. menaip, ilmu. semua ilmu.

Firman Allah dalam Surah Az-Zumar, ayat 9.
".......Katakanlah, adakah sama orang yang mengetahui dengan orang yang tidak mengetahui? Sebenarnya orang yang berakal waras yang dapat menerima pelajaran. "

sabda Rasulullah saw pula dalam sebuah hadis yg diriwayatkan oleh abu Daud dan Tarmizi,
"orang-orang yg berilmu adalah pewaris para nabi"
credit:link

Satu lagi hadis berbunyi
"Ertinya : Sesiapa sahaja yang merintis jalan kerana menuntut ilmu maka Allah membuka kepadanya jalan ke syurga". (Hadis Riwayat Muslim)
credit: link

jelas sekali betapa Islam itu sangat menghormati seseorang yang berilmu. Secara tak langsung menunjukkan betapa penting dan perlunya kita untuk mencari Ilmu.
Tapi apakah ilmu?
Bagaimana caranya untuk mencari sesuatu yang tidak kita kenali?

Ilmu adalah segala perkara secara mudahnya. Sebut sahaja satu benda, maka akan ada Ilmu untuk setiapnya. Secara asasnya, Ilmu=pengetahuan. betul?

Jawapan untuk soalan diatas=SALAH. Pengetahuan adalah benda yang kita tahu, yakni perkara yang kita faham. Tapi benda itu tak semestinya betul.
Contoh: Dulu, kalau kita baca(kalau ada la...) buku-buku semua akan cakap bumi ini petak etc.
Ini adalah pengetahuan. Terbatas, dan berdasarkan 'discovery' manusia, dan banyak distortions di dalamnya. Kita akan bincang perkara ini kemudian.
tapi secara asasnya, Ilmu adalah milik Allah. Tetap, benar, dan tidak boleh kita sangkal.
Tapi pengetahuan adalah apa yang direka manusia, benar pada satu-satu masa, tetapi berubah-rubah mengikut pengalaman dan peristiwa yang berlaku.
Jelas?

Jadi, apa yang kita belajar di sekolah semua tu, apa? Ilmu ke Pengetahuan?
Kalau tanya saya, saya cakap pelajar----belajar----pelajaran.
cantik je, semua kata dasar sama, lajar.(??lol~)
Okokok. Serious. Saya akan cakap tu semua pengetahuan.
Kalau tengok dekat lencana sekolah saya dulu pon, die tules



Nampak tak slogan die? ''Pengetahuan suluh budiman''.
jadi saya memang rasa yang kita belajar tu pengetahuan la sebenarnya. bukan Ilmu.

Boleh tak kita semua setuju bahawa perkara yang telah kita pelajari semua MUNGKIN salah?
setuju tak kalau saya cakap 1+1 mungkin bkan 2?
*kalau anda berada di sekolah rendah, amaran:mungkin perlu ditemani orang dewasa sebelum terus membaca. Nanti takut anda keliru. Yang dewasa? ha.. pikir la sdr*
tak? kenapa? ada argument?
apa? ada bukti? mana? nak tengok boleh?
ha? ada professor tunjuk kira-kira panjang satu whiteboard 1+1=2?
ada ''mathematical reasoning, scientific based method'' untuk prove benda neh?
jadi? apa kaitannya?
Apa kaitannya untuk kata 1+1=2?
mungkin contoh ini tak cukup jelas, disebabkan mathematic adalah satu bidang ''reasoning'', yang mana segala 'standard result' yang diperoleh dibuktikan melalui sesetengah cara yang memeningkan.
cuba kita tengok physics. boleh?


Apa yang membolehkan saya menaip?
Apa? ada force exerted kat keyboard untuk mengeluarkan huruf2?
force ape? Force yang ditukarkan dari chemical energy dalam badan kepada force2 lain, potential, kinetic dan sebagainya?
soalan saya, Apa itu Force?
ha.. kat sini semua orang stop.
sebab Force pada definitionnya adalah something that cannot be created nor can it be destroyed. It can only transforms from one state to another.
*lebih kurang la.. dah lama tak revised*
Tapi kita semua ''buat-buat'' tahu apa itu force, dan terus dengan kajian dan discoveries yang mantop2. yang mengejutkan etc2. Sedangkan, pada asasnya, force sendiri tidak ter-define-

Dan sekiranya segala pohon yang ada di bumi menjadi pena, dan segala lautan (menjadi tinta), dengan dibantu kepadanya tujuh lautan lagi sesudah itu, nescaya tidak akan habis Kalimah-kalimah Allah itu ditulis. Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Kuasa, lagi Maha Bijaksana. (Luqman: 27)

Ketahuilah, Ilmu Allah itu sangat luas. Apa la sangat nak dibandingkan dengan pengetahuan yang kita ada. Tapi, kita masih lagi nak bukti-bukti scientific. Konon-konon science adalah cara melihat kehidupan. Mathematic cara melihat perbezaan dan logik akal.

Tapi percayalah kawan-kawan. Pengetahuan adalah sesuatu yang berasaskan ''emosi, sejarah, pengalaman, dan jugak tujuan'' penemunya.
Kita tengok contoh-contoh dari zaman terdahulu.

Disebabkan saya major dalam Economics, maka banyak pembacaan saya berasaskan sejarah ekonomi. Harap boleh diterima.
Pertama, Kita akan meneliti apa tujuan sebenar Ekonomi. Ia adalah untuk mendapat sebanyak mana kekayaan. Itu lah secara kasar.
Bila orang mula berdagang sesama mereka, yakni menerusi sistem barter, misalannya 5 ekor ikan ditukar dengan seekor ayam, maka wujud sedikit pengiraan disini. Mulanya semua orang tidak kisah, dan bergiat seperti biasa. Namun, pada suatu hari, wujudlah sipolan, mendapati ikan yang diperolehnya besar2 belaka. maka dirasakan tak puas hati, bila rakannya yang mendapat ikan2 kecik ala2 bilis(hiperbola neh), masih dapat tukar dengan seekor ayam.
Disini, wujud masalah pengukuran. Jadi sipolan cakaplah kat penternak ayam tu,

''Ga ga ga ga gagagagaga"

-Bahasa Neolitik, diterjemah oleh Google-
;P

Maksud: Ikan saya besar-besar, saya nak 2 ekor ayam untuk 5 ikan.
awak boleh angkat, awak akan rasa beratnya.

Jadi mulalah, orang mengukur berat. Pengetahuan mengukur berat diasaskan oleh sipolan, dengan tujuan mendapat lebih banyak ayam disebabkan ikannya besar. Pengiraan dibuat dengan mengangkat ikan dengan sebelah tangan, sebelah lagi ayam. dan tengok selama mana mampu bertahan. Kalau sebelah ikan tahan lebih lama, maka kira ringan. kalau sebelah ayam yang tahan lebih lama, maka kira berat.

Wujudlah sistem pengetahuan baru, diberi nama sistem polan. apabila semua orang tahu, maka semakin ramailah yang mempelajari ilmu ini, kerana konon-kononya sistem ini 'memudah'kan perdagangan, dan tidak akan wujud pertengkaran. Si polan diagung-agungkan, kerana mencipta ''ilmu''. *nota, sebenarnya hanyalah pengetahuan.* sehinggakan si petani pun telah belajar sistem yang sama. Selepas itu, apabila ada orang ingin bertukar barang dengan tanaman si petani, maka dia pun mula menggunakan sistem yang serupa. Untuk si petani A, yang menanam buah tembikai, maka cara itu sangat berkesan. Dulu dia dapat menukar seekor ayam dengan 5 biji tembikai. Kini disebabkan tembikai sangat berat, maka sebiji tembikai dapat ditukar dengan 2 ekor ayam. petani A sangat gembira.
Petani B pula, yang menanam kapas, menghadapi masalah yang sangat besar.
Kalau dulu dia dapat menukar 1guni kapas dengan seekor ayam, sekarang dia perlu memberi 20guni kapas untuk seekor ayam, disebabkan kapas sangat ringan. Walaupun sedar masalah ini, tetapi petani B tetap menggunakan sistem si Polan ini, disebabkan semua orang lain menerimanya, dan disebabkan sistem si Polan ini konon-kononnya ''bersebab, scientifically proven'' pada zaman itu. Petani B berkata, satu-satunya cara untuk menambah 'ayam' adalah dengan memberatkan lagi kapas.
Maka dia mula berfikir tentang merendam kapas sebelum dijual, atau membalut batu dengan kapas sebelum dijual, ataupun meletak kayu-kayu pokok didalam guni itu tadi.
Sedangkan, asasnya sistem itu salah, tapi Petani B tak fikir pun. sebab melalui pengetahuannya, itulah sistem terbaik.

Di sini cukuplah. sebenarnya kita mampu melihat beberapa peristiwa penting.
Pertama, penciptaan sistem si Polan.
Perhatikan, apabila pengetahuan disebarkan, ia disebarkan BERSAMA SAMA dengan sejarah, dan tujuan penciptaannya. Dalam kes ini, tujuan ia dicipta adalah untuk menguntungkan orang yang berdagang dengan barang2 yang berat. Walaupun sedemikian rupa, apabila petani-petani mempelajari sistem baru ini, mereka tidak berfikir langsung tentang perkara ini.
Akibatnya, antara mereka yang menanam tanaman 'ringan' akan kerugian besar.
Walaupun tak dinafikan, sistem ini ada kebaikannya, yakni ia tidak lagi menimbulkan pergaduhan antara 2 pihak. tapi, ia tetap merupakan pengetahuan, dan bukan Ilmu. Berdasarkan perkara ini, ia tidak semestinya betul, dan kadangkala ada buruknya.

Contoh realistik:
Kita start dengan sejarah asas ekonomi di England.

1.
Sir William Petty, antara nama yang paling terkemuka.
Sewaktu zaman pemerintahannya, Britain bersaing hebat dengan Perancis, dalam pelbagai bidang. Kekayaan ditafsir sebagai jumlah 'emas' dan 'perak', atau dinamakan Bullion. Zaman ini dikatakan dipengaruhi kuat oleh idea bullionist, yakni kepercayaan bahawa negara yang mempunyai paling bnayk bullion adalah negara plaing kaya.
Sewaktu peperangan, Britain memerlukan sumber kewangan yang bnayak, yakni untuk membiayai perbelanjaan dan gaji askar dsb.
untuk mencari sumber pendapatan inilah yang mendorong Petty untuk bertungkus lumus 'mencipta' pengetahuan tentang National Income Accounting.
Beliau membuat pelbagai 'survey' dan akhirnya membuat konklusi kasar dengan model yang sangat ringkas, (which is very wrong, and does not reflect true situation) tentang Income Accounting.
Dengan pengetahuan ini, beliau menunjukkan pula bahawa gaji, ataupun Wage Fund yang diperuntukkan kepada rakyat merangkumi bahagian yang paling besar dari pendapatan negara.
Dan disebabkan inilah beliau membuat konklusi bahawa rakyat perlu memberi sedikit dari pendapatan mereka untuk membiayai askar.
Dari sinilah juga terbit sistem kasar Taxation.
Bila dikaji dan dikaji, ternyata modelnya salah. Tapi disebabkan sudah 'digunapakai' oleh masyarakat, maka mass public sedia 'meneruskan' corak pemerintahannya dengan bersetuju untuk membayar cukai, walaupun model Petty sebenarnya salah.
Apabila satu pengetahuan itu disampaikan, maka tujuan pengetahuan itu mula-mula wujud akan seolah-olah 'diterima' oleh umum.

2.
Thomas Mun.
Beliau merupakan antara tokoh yang bekerja dengan Syarikat hindia TImur Inggeris.
Sewaktu zamannya, kepercayaan bullionism masih berleluasa. Semua emas hendaklah dikumpul, dan segala barang tidak boleh dibeli dari luar negara, kerana ini akan menjejaskan kuantiti emas dalam negara. Barang hanya boleh dieksport, bukan diimport.
Disebabkan kepercayaan ini, perdagangan antara negara pada waktu itu sangatlah minimum.
Akibatnya, SHTI agak sukar untuk terus berkembang.
Pada waktu inilah Thomas Mun membuat satu 'penemuan pengetahuan' dengan membuktikan bahawa perdagangan akan lebih menguntungkan, dan sebenarnya boleh menggandakan bullion sesebuah negara. Beliau menunjukkan bagaimana satu barang yang diimport boleh dijual dengan harga yang lebih mahal, dan barang-barang yang tidak didapati di satu negara boleh didapati dngan mengimport.
Secara tak langsung, Thomas Mun menidakkan konsep asas bullionism yang mengatakan perdagangan tidak menguntungkan negara. Pengetahuan dulu diganti dengan pengetahuan yang baru. Bukti=Pengetahuan tidak kekal.

3.
Physiocrats, Francois Quesnay.
Doktrin baru ini pula menggantikan fahaman Bullionist secara keseluruhan. Idea 'merchantilism' Thomas Mun juga dikatakan salah.
Physiocrat dengan diketuai F.Quesnay menggunakan Economique Tableau untuk menunjukkan bahawa market dibahagi kepada 2, yakni fertile production and productive production.
Semua bidang ekonomi yang tidak berasaskan agriculture adalah dianggap fertile, ataupun tidak elok(baca:mandul, tak berganda). Ini kerana setiap aktiviti ekonomi selain agriculture hanya akan menggunakan apa yang telah dihasilkan oleh bidang agriculture, dan jumlah produk tidak berganda. Hanya pertanian dan sbagainya sahaja yang menyebabkan output berganda, dan output inilah yang dikatakan 'kekayaan', dan bukannya bullion lagi.
Physiocrat adalah satu fahaman yang dikatakan juga berunsurkan spiritual, kerana keprecayaan mereka adalah untuk sesuatu itu menjadi produktif, perlu ada 'bantuan dari tanah', kerana tanah adalah seolah-olah berkuasa.
Sekali lagi, pengetahuan DIGANTI dengan pengetahuaan yang baru.
akibatnya, selepas zaman Quesnay, pertanian menjadi sektor ekonomi UTAMA, dan semakin banyak la orang-orang kafir jahiliah yang mnyembah pokok, kerana katanya pokok wakil tuhan(tanah) ke bumi. Ada pula yang sembah matahari dengan lebih aktif kerana katanya matahari lebih berkuasa.
Kesan pengetahuan:sebab pengetauan terbit akan mempengaruhi org yg belajar pgtahuan itu.


Nak aku teruskan lagi ke? atau dah penat?
Ada lagi Walras,(Marginalist) Bentham(utiliarism) Adam Smith(free market) David Ricardo(labour theory), KarlMarx(socialism) dan Alfred Marshall(price)


Banyak kan?
hahaha... tapi basically semua ni adalah pendapat, pandangan, dan kepercayaan yang depe pegang, disebabkan masalah yang ingin depa selesaikan.
Contoh, sapa nak tengok bulan, pandang atas.
Mungkin betul untuk satu-satu masa, tapi kalau ada awan tebal?
macam mana kalau waktu tu hujan?
kalau anak bulan? kalau orang buta?
banyak sangat masalah yang berbeza. 'pengetahuan' yang mereka sediakan mungkin betul untuk satu atau dua masalah. yang lain2 macam mana?

Sayangnya aku pon dah penat. Kalau tak nak jugak tules pasal ke'hebat'an science.
tp long story made short, apabila sesuatu itu dapat dikaitkan dengan logik akal, serta matematik, maka secara teori, ia adalah sains(must be reproducible via mathematical theory) and as such is TRUE.
itulah antara sebab kenapa Alfred Marshall tak sabar-sabar nak wujudkan sistem 'price'. kenapa Walras ngan bentham buat utility function, marginalism views etc.
sebab nak integrate mathematic into economics.
dalam zaman Alfred Marshall, economics yang asalnya adalah 'social inquiry' dah bertukar menjadi 'social science', and secara tak langsung bertukar daripada 'pendapat', kepada fakta, daripada mitos dongeng, kepada kenyataan.
daripada pengetahuan kepada ilmu.


jadi, macam mana? setuju tak kalau saya cakap kita sebenarnya sangat kurang Ilmu?
yang banyak, pendapat orang.


Saidina Ali pernah berkata kepada seorang yang bernama Kamil : "Wahai Kamil ilmu itu baik dari harta kerana ilmu menjaga kamu sedangkan harta kamu yang menjaganya. Ilmu menjadi hakim sedangkan harta dihukumkan atasnya dan harta semakin berkurangan dengan dibelanjakan sedangkan ilmu semakin bertambah apabila diamal dan digunakan." Saidina Ali berkata lagi : "Tiadalah kebanggaan yang sebenar melainkan bagi orang-orang yang berilmu kerana mereka sentiasa berada di atas jalan hidayah, mereka menunjukan jalan hidayah kepada orang-orang yang memintanya. Memadailah ukuran bagi setiap seseorang itu kebaikan yang dilakukan sedangkan orang yang jahil tetap memusuhi orang-orang berilmu. Maka rebutlah kesempatan menunut ilmu supaya kamu dapat hidup selamanya kerana hakikatnya manusia semuanya mati sedangkan ahli-ahli ilmu akan terus hidup."

jadi persoalan emas saya, kalau ada satu sistem perbankan Islam, walaupun die tak terjamin untungnya(mengikut pengetahuan manusia la. Bukan Ilmu Allah) adakah ianya tidak cukup baik untuk meninggalkan sistem Perbankan convensional yang terjamin keuntungannya*?
*untung dan rugi yang dimaksudkan adalah berdasarkan pengetahuan manusia.

Kalaulah kita tengok, luas2.
entah2 sistem perbankan yang Islam anjurkan adalah lebih untung* daripada sistem perbankan konvensional?
*berdasarkan Ilmu Allah
siapa tahu?
Sekarang orang banyak persoalkan tentang 'welfare' atau kebajikan dalam satu-satu ekonomi.
Kononnya teori tangan lutsinar Adam Smith tidak memberi kebajikan yang sepatutnya.
Siapa suruh ikut 'pengetahuan' Adam Smith?
lol~

Allahu'Alam.

*PS:Sejarah itu penting. Kalau dalam Quran pon Allah ceritakan sirah umat-umat terdahulu, apatahlagi dalam kehidupan seharian~~

Haa... Ambik.. Eidul Adha kuar2 nasi beryani kan? Hahaha





Hari tuh 10 zulhijah lepas solat mghrb ade jamuan berbuka puase dr uclisoc. Sodap~~
nasi brryani ngan kmbing n ayam. Masak ape? Ntah, janji sodap.. Hehe

Takbir raya kat sini laen.. Rhendu sesangat takbir raye kat msia.. Huhuh laen bukan laen ape sbnanye.. Sini takde alunan lenggok2 tu.. Tak dpt nak 'goreng' hehe

Bnyk ag nak cite sebnanye.. Tp lenkali je la eh~
wassalam

Alhamdulillah.
Life seems to be a lot better now(at least for me..), as I have finally sort of 'fit in' in this mega-blustering city.

Though the weather is still mightily unpredictable and sort of freezing at times, I think I can suit myself with it~~*fingers crossed* lorh~

But one think I really love about life at the moment, is being able to witness, a couple of things about 'brotherhood' in Islam.

Situation 1
Today, I just break-fast(is there any other word to describe this? please.. it sounded funny. lol~) with my friend, Hassan,(again).
He invited me to his place, which is in Ifor Evans Hall, in Camden road.
This time around, we ate his 'nasi beriyani'

Hassan has an aunt, which stays in Surrey.
Normally during weekends, he'll go back there and sort of -tapau- food for the rest of the week.
So I kinda help him finish his foods la just now.
And it is great-alicious.
yummy!!

That's what being a brother meant to Muslim.
We cared about each other(although in this example Hassan was the only who cared about me.) hee~
I don't reckon anyone would be willing to share their food with me after barely knowing me for about a month or so would there?

Situation 2
There is also another friend, his name is Bex(he's real name was so long and hard to pronounce, that he wanted us to just call him Bex)

He's from Kazakhstan.
and he's a Muslim. Unfortunately, there was little about Islam that has been exposed to him.
Then, I saw what is meant by being brothers in Islam.
My friend, taught him how to perform ablution.
From washing hands, everything until the feet.
Taught him in the toilet, sincerely.
When he prayed, he don't know whats to recite.
But he just followed, because he wanted to.
and again, this friend said that he's willing to help him about Quran recitation.
Again, freely sincere.

Than, we talked about countries, how Pakistan was divided from India, about liberalism, about Malaysia(tourism hot-spot!!),~Malaysia truly Asia~ hahaha..
they really love Malaysia guys.
They said the Malaysia as 'the place with most number of tourist every year'
I don't know where they get them from, but seriously, I was like soo proud.
loL~
They said Malaysia got lots of fantastic halal food, great beaches and all.
I was like....Really?
wakakaka

ok. back to my point.
Alhamdulillah. I am proud to be a Muslim.
I don't think there will be any other type of love in the world that can challenge the love that is based on Faith towards Allah.
Subhanallah

Salam Alaik.

Hari neh alhamdulillah Hassan ajak aku bukak puasa skali ngan die.
Kali neh ktorang makan dkat Camden Road, kat kedai name Eco something..(tak ingat)
ok r.. harge die murah..tp seriously, aku rase macam Simply Chicken lg sedap..(though mahal sket)

Ktorang makan skali ngan Deepak, seorang lagi lecture-mate aku.
Ramond plak tak leh join, sbb die ade hal laen.
So, lepas habis klas Histroy Of Economic Thought, n lepas solat maghrib kat Hut 34, ktorang trus naek bas 29 berhenti kat mornington crescent.

Seperti biase, bas 29 akan jadik sangat amatlah sesak.
beza die kali neh, die 'super' sesak.
sampey kne marah ngan driver bus sbb berdiri depan sangat dalam bas.

sampai kat kedai tu, ktorang pon order la makanan.
This is when the exciting part starts.

Deepak neh beragama sikh.
die vegetarian, maka die pon order la pizza vegetarian.
Sambil makan, ktorang pon sembang2 la.

Weirdly enough, these 2 people prefer to talk about religion.
*dan tentulah ktorang tak sentuh which religion is better*

kitorang banyak cakap tentang keindahan agama, bagaimana ia adalah kurniaan tuhan untuk manusia.
Dan bercakap mengenai tujuan hidup, bagaimana orang yang tidak beragama sebenarnya pada hakikat tidak mempunyai sebarang tujuan.

Deepak, bagi aku adalah antara orang yang agak istimewa.
Ibu dan ayahnya,(malah seluruh keluarganya) tidak mengamalkan apa-apa agama.
dia memilih untuk mengamalkan agama sikh, sendiri.
Hebatnya seorang yang sedemikian rupa

Kalau aku yang berada di tempatnya, mungkin aku sendiri tidak akan mengamalkan apa-apa agama.
Tapi Deepak sedar, kite semua ade tujuan hidup.
dan die sedar, menyuruh ke arah kebaikan itu adalah antara tujuan hidup seorang manusia.

Dan sungguh aku kesal, kerana aku tidak mempunyai kemahiran berbahasa Inggeris dengan baik, maka amatlah sukar untuk aku katakan tentang Islam. Susahnya aku nak terangkan apa-apa, lebih-lebih lagi Deepak nih orang local, hebat inggerisnya.

Hassan pula, lahir di England. Menetap sehingga berusia belasan tahun, sebelum ibunya mendapati perubahan sikapnya kearah yang kurang disenangi.
Hassan dibawa pulang ke Pakistan atas sebab itu.
Di Pakistan, Hassan diberi pengajaran dan pengamalan Islam yang lebih teratur.
Die mendescribe dirinya
"sometimes my path is religious, but sometimes its not''
Die cerita, ada satu masa tu die siap pakai turban ngan jubah pegi kelas.

dan kebanyakan perbualan kami berkisar tentang agama.
Hassan lah yang banyak bercakap tentang agama, aku tak mampu.
aku ada ilmu, malah apa yang hassan ceritakan aku tahu, dan aku boleh tambah, tapi bila aku cuba aku jadi gagap.
aku jadi hilang perkataan.
sangat teruk. bayangkanlah, 2-2 Hassan ngan Deepak hebat inglishnye.
aku, haprak.
lol~

kebanyakan ayat quran yang Hassan cakapkan, die ingat dalam bahasa inglish je.
Aku ingat dalam bahasa Arab sekali!
tapi tak reti nak cakap.
at the end, tak kuar pon sume2 tuh.
ape da~~

Menurut Deepak, die percaya hanya ada satu Tuhan.
semua manusia di bawah tuhan yang sama.
(amazingly, this is just like Islam!)
Allah dan sumthing(nama tuhan die, aku x ingat) adalah merujuk kepada sesuatu yang sama.
cuma cara kita meng-express-kan gratitude kpada tuhan kita berbeza.

menarek pendapat ini~

Alangkah indahnya kalau Deepak mengenal Islam dengan lebih jelas?
Deepak tahu tentang Allah, tentang Muhammad, dan sebagainya.
*aku yakin dia telah membuat sedikit pembacaan mengenai Islam*
Insha-Allah, akan aku cuba perbaiki kelemahan diri.

Rabbana La tuzigh qulubana ba' daizhadai tana wahablana minladun karahmah.
Innaka antal Wahhab.
Aamen.

Today, I stumbled upon a new thought, about patriotism.
You see, its not that I hate my country or anything, (instead I truly deeply love Malaysia!!)
but somehow I felt being patriotic is not right.

Ok. Here's what I thought.
If a group of football fans shouted, ''Boo you freaking black man!" to an opposition striker, he will be labeled RACIST. and eventually, he will be kicked out of the stadium, and being fined or even suspended from coming to stadiums anymore(after he's half-dead being kicked and punched and smacked of course :) ).
Why?
Because he is said to disrupt the harmony of the 'beautiful game'.
there's even a slogan that totally rejected racism in football.

This man was nearly beaten to death(iow, he's beaten until totally paralyzed. lol~)
because he is said to 'divide' people from being united.
He is said to disrespect other people's presence.
He is said to ruin the 'beautiful' game.
That's why racism is considered so bad by many of us.

Racism is also a very sensitive issue.
Back in Malaysia, if you said anything about racism in the public, you might just accidentally 'press' the 'panic button', without really realizing it.
you will be a public hatred icon. Believe me, unless you're so damn good with words, once you slipped a racist comment, that's it, you've just lost one of your favorite 'hanging out' spot.

You see, racism is about you 'protecting' your race, believing that your race is good, or in other words, loving your race so much, that you wouldn't want to be of another race.
(ok, I made this up. :) )
From dictionary, racism means:
a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement

This is what racism is. This is what a lot of people hate. This is what believed to have 'divide' people.

Now, lets consider nationalism.(which btw, IS a synonym to patriotism, or some might
even regard nationalism as a higher form of patriotism)
it means~
the policy or doctrine of asserting the interests of one's own nation, viewed as separate from the interests of other nations or the common interests of all nations.

found anything similar?

Yes, its almost identical. You just need to replace the word race to nation, and there you go, it gives the same meaning.
I therefore conclude that
nationalism IS a form of racism, but in a more larger bigger group of people.

It simply means, if you wanna be racist, then make sure you are in a large group of 'common' people, then it will be ok.*does this sounds familiar, my malaysian friends????lol~

Yet, patriotism is regarded as something that unites people.
That 'builds' a nation.
That 'creates' a better future.

Yeah, only in that 'group' of people that is!

Lets make an analogy.
I make a big group of Racist people, called Meley.(not malays, ok. this is just fictitious. :P)
In this group, we sort of have our own PM, called Nejeb, have our own minister of that and those etc2.
everything was awesome.
We generate our own revenue, build our own society and all.
but the only problem is we 'LOVE' our own 'RACE' more than any other race.
We don't want to give other people what 'belongs' to our 'race'.
we gave better service to people which is of our own 'race', but less quality, halfheartedly work to people that does not come from the 'big group of RACE'.
in sports, we cheer our 'race', not others.
we even have our own song for our beloved 'race'.
Even if we didn't even know someone, as long as he/she is from our own 'race', then that means he/she deserves our support.
We created our own 'race flag', we make up some meaning behind the objects on it etc.
we have our own borders on the map, there's a huge area marked with ''meley'' sign on it.
we have our own army, just in case other ppl from other races are not satisfied with 'our race' and want to start a war. We're just being prepared.
Is this ok then??
nO?
what about changing all the word 'race' into 'country'.
sounds better now?
why?
??????
Its amazing really. I tried to search via google, ''why racism should be banned''.
guess what?
I couldn't find any relevant links.
but when I looked for ''why patriotism should be taught'', there's like millions of links popping up.
Is patriotism really good?
Is racism really bad?

*I think I know whats my answers are.
Clue, there's one big NO and and small yes.
which one's which?
You DECIDE

While busy meddling and juggling with my aw-ful-some problems, somehow I found peace deep inside myself.

Alhamdulillah, I can finally see the light at the end of this dark gloomy tunnel.
What I should and must do now is to move forward, at full thrust.
There can no longer be any lapse of concentration.
This route is NOT an easy ride.
It is a bumpy road, with lots of distractions and obstructions coming in your way.
Therefore, don't be too sobbering when you fall.
Cause if you look closely, everyone fell, at least once, before the soar higher beyond the limit.
The only thing that makes you think they never did is because they always rise back up each time they fall.
Because they know, it doesn't matter how many times you fall,
its where you are at the end which counts.

If you want to be like that, just do what you should do, and never doubt that Allah is always there.Seek for his guidance, and He will be there
to help and to guide you,
Insha-Allah.

Enjoy this video.

aku pggl die 'ibu'.
aku suke kebun bunge die.
sbb ade satu pokok warne kelabu yang mcm rambut berjela2.
waktu aku pindah, ibu ade kasik satu pokok untuk aku.

cg tu mcm taknak kasik. ye la, baru 3 taon.
tp mak aku mintak jugak. hopefully die kasik..

Pastu, aku 'paksa' diri aku terima hakikat, aku tak dapat masuk MRSM.

skip la boleh?


then masuk KY.
pon nak skip.

pastu dok kat Taviton Street London neh.
skip?
takde ape nak skip nye oi~~
hehe


Point aku adelah...
Bayangkanlah.
Kalau satupun antara peristiwa2 di atas tak berlaku.
as in berbeza.
akan terbentuk sesuatu yang kita panggil sebagai
''butterfly effect'', yakni perubahan satu titik pd satu timeline
akan merubah SEMUA perkara selepas titik itu.

kalau aku tak masuk SKSAA, siapa tahu ape pandangan aku thadap Matematik?
sbb kat sinilah aku pertama kali dipuji oleh cikgu, cikgu itu namanya Puan Latipah,
die puji aku sbb aku orang pertama bangun perkenalkan diri.
After that, setiap klas die aku mcam pro-aktif gle.
sonok.
Selalu kne puji ngan die.

kalau aku tak masuk SKRPM, siapa tahu aku mampu tak lepas PTS?
Cg Salleh, cg Maths aku tyme dajah3, slalu encourage untuk PTS.
Cg. Junaidah, boleh aku anggap macam cg yg sangat2 la bnayk tolong aku.
dan masha-Allah, kat sinilah aku rasa sedikit 'erti' kehidupan...

Kalau aku tak kne reject masuk MRSM 1st intake, maybe aku tak dapat masuk PDRM.
Hikmah masuk PDRM?
Subhanallah..
Sinilah tempatnya aku blajar solat.
btol2.
before that malas gile nak solat.
slalu je ponteng2.
lps masuk pDRM barulah aku jaga solat sket2.
sblom tuh, aku rapatkan saf pon tak reti.
kuar2 PDRM, dah mule sket jinak2 ngan kuliah2.
usrah2.
ujong form 3, siap jadik naqib. Abg Yob Norismawandi lantik.
kat sini gak arr aku blaja debat.
tak terhingga terima kaseh aku kat abag im ngan abang aizwan, kak pieqa n all.
sgt2 terima kasih.

pastu kat tepeng.
kalaulah aku tak masuk sini, aku takkan dpat tunjuk ajar ngan 'latihan intensif' dari Cg Abdullah untuk jadikan aku sorang pendebat.
Bilik IL senantiasa akan menjadi kenangan aku.
malam2 yg terdampar kat situ..
Ya Allah manis nya..
rugi aku takde gambanya.
kalau tak konpem aku upload dah.

Kat tepeng gak arr aku dapat masuk debat UIAM.
form4&5.
aku masuk tyme form4 first tyme.
satu team ngan kakella, abgcapiel ngan abgpaan.
dapat jadik best speaker 2-3 kali gak.
ahaks~
tp jadik punce kalah ngan MCKK tyme Octofinal.
sgt mengecewakan.
lepas kalah, cg dolah pggl, die ckaap,
"Aqmin, tahun depan awak jangan masuk bahas. Saya taknak awak dah."

Menanges aku tak leh tahan.
Kawan2 lama, Cg. Umi, Paiz, Kak Pieqa(dr MRSM PDRM) ngan palie pujok aku.
Aku ingat lagi.
dekat UIA.
aku menanges.
kat depan Moot Court.
gile babai nanges.

Kalau aku tak jadik punce kalah, kalau cg dolah tak sound aku camtu, kalau aku tak nanges aritu, aku takkan ade rase dendam ngan debat UIA.
nie lah jadik pendorong aku untuk menggalas tugas sebagai kapten bahas MRSM Taiping 2007(wah.. lantek sdr neh~~~wakaka)
aku cube sedaya upaya carik pmbhas dr juniors.
aku wat 3 kali audition.
semua neh, SENDIRI.

Aku organise practice debat.
aku wat 'modul latihan' sdr.
aku ajar debat(sambil diajar semula sbb kekadang salah~~)
sbb dendam kesumat aku akan balas.

Debat UIA 2007, ktorang langkah kanan mule2.
1st match, lawan skool mane ntah, menang besar.
pastu lawan SBPI Gombak, juara tahon lpas.
pembahas yg sama.

bagi aku, inilah takdirnya.
Kalau satu pun point kat atas tak jadik, maka aku tak kan ade kat tmpat aku skrang.
itu yg aku slalu bgtaw diri aku.

Setiap kali aku down, rase 'bodoh',
rase tak power, rase disappointed,
rase tak bley terima kenyataan,
aku akan tgk my past.


n then aku akan cakap,

Kalaulah Allah tak jadikkan satu pon peristiwa2 lalu kenyataan, mungkin ko takkan jadik Aqmin yg sekarang.
Jadi kenapa aku susah hati dgan peristiwa yg menganggu aku skrg?
Terus, aku akan paham apa itu takdir.
Terus, aku akan paham percaturan Allah itu yg terbaik.
Terus aku tak ragu-ragu lagi dah.
Terus, aku akan redha.
dah terima hakikat, walau apapun ia.
Insha-Allah.

Wallahualam.

Yesterday was probably the most memorable night in London so far, well at least for me it is.
Admittedly, there wasn't much going on yesterday, but this one event organized by Friends of Palestine society In collaboration with MAP(Medical Aid for Palestine) organization, there's this sort of 'talk' given by Dr Mads Gilbert.




Ok.. Back to my point..
Yesterday.. The whole session was mainly about Palestinians..
Their strong resilience.. Their courage.. and how they are being denied the human rights that was largely what most people believe in.
All these were presented by a person..
Though I'm not sure whether he is a muslim or not,
But I am sure of one thing,
this one person have seen, witness and at least understand a bit,
of the pain that our brothers has been experiencing.

His talks was not just merely talks, but more of a experience sharing moments,
where he described this tragedy as an human-made disaster,
which cannot be understood
just by looking at the numbers.
We go through patient by patient,
how terrible their situations,
how horrible their conditions.
All these, just because they are Palestinian.

His 'slow-tone' and rather 'moving' voice, definitely touch many hearts yesterday,
as I saw, not only my very own tears dropping,
but of many others, whom are not even Muslim,
and are not having the kind of love that we should have
towards our own brothers and sisters in Palestine.

How terrible the situation was, is beyond any imaginable thought that ones might have, as it is far disastrous than that.
He showed, and explain, and reached our attentions, by telling the story, the experience that he had, being in Gaza during the past bombing period.
He were there for 23days(If I'm not mistaken)
During this time, he witness, an act that he describe as beyond human being, which he rather believe to be a false truth, but in the end, you can never doubt something that you have seen with your own eyes.

He arrived in Palestine via Egypt, as the entrance to Palestine from North has been blocked, with several Israeli tanks and sieges not allowing any entry.
He stayed in Shifa' Hospital, the place where he saw many of his patients come and go, just as if it was a morning clinic with loads of feverish people coming in.
And the most horrific thing about this is that, more than half of this patients are children and women!!

and the ugliest comment that you can ever see from such inhuman-act is given out by shimon perez, the president of Israel.
He said,

"Israel's aim, he said, was to provide a strong blow to the people of Gaza so that they would lose their appetite for shooting at Israel.
Implementation of the current operation had gone 90 percent according to plan."

from http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1231950849038&pagename=JPArticle/ShowFull

note that from his quote up there, he said that the aim was to provide a strong blow to the PEOPLE of Gaza.
not the armed 'terrorist', not the 'Hamas' NO.
but the people. CIVILIAN.
and guess what?
these civilians ARE CHILDREN!
For goodness sake, why?
They(israeli) have been using state-of-the-art drone fighters, which mostly was built in US(not sure whether they are 'presents' or something from US), which has no pilot in it,
because it was controlled by well-trained pilot from thousands of miles away, with joystick with which they can shoot and launch missiles etc. from.



They apply the kill and forget policy, which the pilot can take a break from their 'duty' and have fun or even go back home to their family and all.
they can land the drone to somewhere where theres thousands of tanks and sieges, (which I'm quite sure its almost everywhere) and they can 'shutdown' their exciting little game. GAME OF KILLING!

And for you information, these drones are not used during one-off-attack only.
Instead, its being used EVERY DAY, almost every hour you can hear the buzzing of the drone on top of you head, and you would probably need to run, as you never know, these drones sometimes 'accidentally' dropped their missiles on civilian.

Oh, and yeah, about the drones again. Their missiles are super-world class, it has cameras on it, that will show live broadcast of where this bloody missile are going to hit, WHO they are about to crash into, whether its a pregnant mom, a small kid, an old farmer or a fully equipped man with bombs and rifles on him. THEY CAN SEE THIS CLEARLY. yet, they wanted to kill the children instead. look at these shirts, worn by Israeli soldier(or more like robots) WITH PRIDE.
the left one means 1 shot/bullet 2 kills.(the way I see it:killing this pregnant women will kill her as well as her unborn baby. its DOUBLE KILL man!)
the right one means the smaller the bigger.(the way I see it:since this kid is a small lil kid, why not blasting him off with a bigger gun, bazooka maybe?)

there's also a short video showing the situation as these drones approach an area. Which is, like almost all the time. I'm soo sorry I did'nt manage to find the link.. But yesterday it was shown in the lecture hall, and indeed it was damn scary.Horrifying scenes.
You ain't seeing a horror movie until you've seen this.



no no no.. don't close your eyes just yet. You have yet to witness the world's Nobel Prize of Peace Winner in action just yet!
Shimon Perez, alongside his Prime Minister(its weird isn't? Israel have a President(perez) and a PM(nentanhya--- whatever?)) declares that the world's law of wars need to be reevaluated, as they feel Israel should be given a bigger role in fighting terrorist(something like this).
Translation: We want to kill everyone we like, don't disturb us.

For goodness sake, are they even human?
And seriously, all these are nothing compared to what Dr. Mads Gilbert had said yesterday.
he often say that these tragic disaster cannot be understood in numbers, statistics, you need to know the individual cases to understand the scene better.

he first started showing pictures of a girl, 9 months, brought to the hospital, without any relatives or families around her.
She lost 3 fingers, thumb, 2nd finger n 3rd one.
She had a largely burnt body, a result of the real 'terror' in this case.

Then there's this boy, aged 11, was found barely breathing, with one of his leg(from waist) cut off. another leg suffer severe bruises and his 'tapak kaki' was already in cut into several pieces.
from waist and above, everything was ok. no real bruises, nothing. only his legs were torn apart.
He died a few minutes later.
TO be honest, how this boy can be hurt this bad?
of course, its the DIME bomb these stup*d drones are using.
DIME is indeed a powerful bomb, that releases several other metals like sharpnel, which will basically cuts everything in the range of what? 10 metres maybe?

Then theres another girl, aged 15, found without legs.
( Dr. Mads remembers every single name of his patients)

then there another small girl, aged 4
she was super-quiet.
she was sent alone in an ambulance,(because Israeli sieges are guarding the area, and they don't allow anyone to move from one place to another freely)
and when Dr Mads and his colleagues checked her, they found a big hole behind her back, affecting her spinal cord. He mentioned about some weird words(probably medical terms) that they carry out, and Alhamdulillah she was saved.
but then, Dr Mads continue, for the rehabilitation, he check on her, and the only thing that he heard coming out of her mouth was ''mama....mama....mama...'' whispering so sharply, so thin voice so deep.
Dr Mads said, that was indeed the voice that he can remember most from Gaza.
the sharp whispering of a small Palestinian girl, who wanted to see her mom.

Then there's another patient, ALSO A SMALL kid, found badly injured.
Her father, Khaled Abed Rabbo was reported to quote

"Two soldiers were on the tank eating chips, then one man came out of the tank with a rifle and started shooting the kids,"

source--please read this, amazingly important.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/gaza-i-watched-an-israeli-soldier-shoot-dead-my-two-little-girls-1452294.html

It was his kids that he meant, both of his daughters to be accurate was killed. and luckily the 3rd daughter, was 'only' badly injured.


So, is this the democracy that we're talking about?
is this the great 'peace' that we're living in?
Is this the mightily 'justice' we're boasting around?
Go and throw them away.
They ain't exist.

Before this, it takes a person to BE a terrorist to deny them world's protection.
Nowadays, it takes one random quote from some 'animals' to do the same.

During the Gaza conflict early this year, a school was also bomb.
UN school. A place where it has been guaranteed safe by UN.
was bomb.
A lot of CHILDREN were killed.
when being asked by reporters, what did the Israel spokesperson answer?
they are being used by Hamas as a barrack etc etc.
that's the echoes of their 'default' answer.

When the reporters asked about the number of children being killed, guess what the answer?
"THEY ARE HAMAS CHILDREN"
wth???
These innocent children has nothing to do with the bloody politic that they are fighting against.
even if there are, Israel has no right to shoot them like that.
speaking about rights, Hamas won the election, FAIR and SQUARE. the result of the election has been verified and recognized by many agencies and bodies.
Where is the JUST you were talking about?

My brothers, sisters, you have yet to see the full picture just yet.
Believe me, you have yet see the true picture.
When I was in the lecture hall yesterday, I was trying not to cry most of the time.
but seeing, well, more on hearing(*it was dark actually, the light were switched off) other people which are not even muslims cry, it showed something.
There's lot of charity body coming yesterday, to show their support.
Dr. Mads said, Palestinian don't need our money that much, they need our support the most.
They felt as if they have been betrayed by the rest of the world, since in their eyes, there is no justice, let alone world peace.

Dr. Mads himself has been criticized by many people, saying that he should do what a doctor does, and not as a reporter.
But Dr. Mads final last word yesterday,

"Does reporting these make me a terrorist? If so, then BE IT!"

Can you imagine his spirit? His willingness?
Ya Allah, If he is not a Muslim, show him the light Ya Allah. Show us the light. Let us be among the one you bless. Aameen.

And oh yeah, I forgot to mention the phosphorus bomb yet.
Well, maybe lots of you have already know it anyway.
These bombs not only kills, but also retards your growth, etc2.

too much said,
Ask your self, are you a human?

Wassalam.

Sebelum kite ckap ape2, Meh tgk dulu gambo2 dr Notts Game.
:)















Hee~
best gak jumpe member2 lame tyme notts game ari tu.. Terubat gak arr rhendu sket2...

Erm... Back to our point... Hidup di perantauan..
Jujur aku cakap, hidup kat sinilah saat paling mencabar bwat masa neh untuk aku.. Tp Alhamdulillah, kat sini gak arr aku blaja A LOT of things, especially about Islam.
Betapa Indahnya "brotherhood" dlm Islam tu, aku ease kat sini je la aku dpt rase. Contoh plg bes, td tyme dinner, aku makan ngan A'dil ngan Yosef, sorang Pakistani Brtsh, sorang Palestinian German. Sangat best. Ktorang ckp psl eid adha, psl places in London, psl medic(A'dil bdk medic) n mcm2 lg!! Psl family, psl foods, psl skype dll.. Best sgt!! Ade la dkt 2 jam... Haha.. Tak jadik aku study td.

Pastu Adil ajak pg talk palestin esok dr Dr ape ntah.. She's a Chinese Malaysian!! I'm really looking forward for tmmrw.. Hrmm.. Alhamdulillah, walau jauh dr sedare2, aku dpt dok dkt ngan 'sedara' seagama dr tmpat lain... Indahnya takdir Allah..

Salam.
Just got back from from a session with Bank Of England's
Deputy gabenor, Charlie Bean.
He gave a talk on the previous financial crisis(while largely putting the blame on US economy) and gave(should gave) an insight review of why was it bad, n what BoE had done to cope with the problem. It was ok, but me, Deepak n Bhavik hardly appreciate his talks. Lol~




Btw, before that, I bought a curry chicken with rice in ULU. Then I ate it with my kitchen mate, Yosef.(well, of course, he ate his own meal, which happens to be curry chcken as well!!)
Yosef's father is a Palestinian. He went to Germany, to study medicine and end up marrying a local women.
Then there came Yosef, a German guy.

I have to say, talking with Yosef is definitely one of the most exciting thing to do in the kitchen(other than burning my hand of course:] ).
He told me that he often go back to Palestine as most of his relatives are still there.
He said that once, when he was still small, there was this 'intifada. There were a lot of soldiers carrying weapon and all that, and such situation was already being seen by a small kid of what, 5 or something.
And he also told me about the refugee camp, which was quite near to the place where his relatives stay, often was inspected by the Israelis. And most of the time, they came by tank, and seems the road in that area is super-small, they will make an announcement asking all occupier to leave the building, and using these tanks, they will RAMP through all the buildings there!!!
Can you imagine that???
Yosef said, for Palestinian, such situation is almost routine for them that they are quite used to it.
He even mentioned that one of his cousins was imprisoned by the Israelis for nothing.
That how bad the situation is.

Dear brothers . If you look at the Palestinian, you'll see how tough and brave they are, just to defend their own country, for their own religion.
Will you do the same if asked to?

And one more thing, living in London had definitely opened my eyes at how beatiful is Islam with it's beotherhood thingy. Qhen I go to the prayers hut, there were multiple races there, Malays, Pakistani, Arabs, maurice, and a whole lot of other ppl. But we are all here united, they are super-friendly, especially qhen they were told that you are a Muslim as well. They call u brother, they ask your well-being, they asked about your studies and all just like they really cares. You see, being here 'almost alone' makes you feel lonely. But with these brothers, i felt the secure feeling, feel just as if being taken care of, being help in some way. Here I sad it, I never felt as prud as I am now being a Muslim.
Alhamdulillah~~
may Allah show me the right path.
Aameen

Damn cold already. Can't imagine what it's like in the winter.. Hopefully I won't die freezing.. Lol~

So value and use ur time carefully, as it ain't coming back. Ever.
And if there's anything I can learn from this. It's definitely not to linger. Do everything decisively, as well as instantly, so that the chance will not past away. So, move ur lazy bum, at start doing things the right way. N create greatness in ur life. Because you know, you are destined for such things.

Moral of movie~
Most of the time, people tend to not realize what they are capable of doing, until one day something happened, when they gonna have to put their true colors on.
They will perform way above their expectations, that they will feel that they got everything that they've always wanted.
But when this moment finally arrives, lots of people will eventually get over themselves, that they forgot at the end of the day, they are after all, just one helpless human being.
They will start to be too ambitious, and put enormous pressure on themselves, which will eventually came back haunting their lives.
Remember, we are after all Allah's creatures. He is the only person that can help us no matter what the situation is. If you fall, just remember, you just got another reason to come back stronger.

Alhamdulillah, all praise be to Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most merciful.
Today, I got a chance to attend a debate between two great people, with undoubtedly abundant knowledge.
It was a debate between
Mr. Hamza Andreas Tzortzis. *click to see his blog*
(He is a senior researcher and lecturer for iERA. He has participated in debates both at home and internationally with leading academics and intellectuals. Hamza delivers lectures across the world to articulate and shed indispensable light on Islam and its way of life.)

and Mr. Rick Lewis
(he is the founder and editor of Philosophy Now, and thereby one of the main initiators of the popular philosophy movement in the English speaking world.)


It was indeed a very interesting session, which mostly talk about the definition of good deeds, who draws the line between good and evil etc.
It all starts with Mr Hamza making his opening speech, where he underlines 2 main points, which is
1.God make sense to the explanation of the origin of life
2.God make sense to the explanation og the fine tuning of life.

Infinity, a word which means no beginning nor ending, is according to him non-existence in this life. He starts off by giving an analogy to negate this fact, in order to show people that everything starts off with something.
He said,
''If I have an infinite number of bananas, and I give someone 2 bananas, what is the remaining bananas that I still have?''
"yeah, it doesn't make sense doesn't it? It only bananas to you right?"
and the hall broke into laughter.
Then he starts explaining the Big Bang Theory, which he claims to be VERY VERY magical, because of its rareness.
The probability of it happening is so low, that it must not happen by its own, there must be 'Someone' who make it happen.
Even according to him, a lot of scientist(he gave about 4-5 names really, but I can't remember any. lol~) said that even if the expansion rate of the matter after the Big Bang differ by 1/(10^10), (which really really small), the world will collapse and the living intelligent on this world will not exist.
Then there's lot of other points, (where I couldn't remember~~:p )
He did say things about everything must have its own purpose, causes etc.

Then it was Rick's turn.
He started off by questioning the definition of the word GOD itself.
It was indeed true what he said, where the definition of GOD is indeed very wide.
Sometimes, people believe that the nature itself as 'god'.
Then he starts questioning about the nature of God, what is HE like, what etc.
He even included the 'problem of evil.'
He also said something about
''I haven't found anything that cannot be described without believing in god''
*maksudnya, suma benda boleh explain even kalo kita tak kait kan dengan tuhan.*
and then he argued *this one aku tak berapa paham*
about the purpose of God creating the world.
He said, before the Big Bang Theory, there is no time.
*the definition of time: starts AFTER big bang.*
hence there should not be a ''cause'' for making the world, because causes must be followed by effects, which must be related to time."



But he DO have one very good point.
*he approximately said this one.*
Things right now as it happened, though the probability of it happening is mightily low, means that other events also can happen, no matter how low the probability is.
I mean the Earth, even by the slightest difference, might cause the human not compatible to live in it. But we never know, if the difference might suit other living organism.
Then they will say how precise 'god' is, though the fact it all happen randomly.

Then we all proceed to the Q&A session, where there is lots of hands raised to ask.
Here where it gets a lil' bit better I mean, only here I heard what I want to hear, because throughout the debate, both speakers never actually face-to-face with each other.
One person says about 1+1=2, the other said 5+2=7.
There was no direct contact really.
They were just arguing about definitions, epistemological, and then some other weird ''philosophical'' words.
No direct engagement with the content.
but during the Q&A, people asks, and then only it starts to be a bit exciting.
someone asked about islam, qoran etc.
someone else questions about atheism, etc.
then there were even an old lady who express her opinion about religion brings wars etc.
then there's a christian who wanted Mr Hamza to comment on the book of revelation etc.
all in all, the experience was amazing.

HOWEVER, there is something that I found uncomfortable though.
Its the fact that when it comes to talks as such, there will be A LOT of muslems, and we are the majority.
BUT that doesn't make us better.
I mean, a lot of people were giving gestures and scary look when Mr Rick talks.
I believe NO ONE can give a good talk when he is surrounded as such.
and then when there's this man claiming ''I am a christian, and I wanna......"
suddenly the crowd makes an uncomfortable sound.
WHAT IS THIS eh?
Fine we all believe in Allah, Alhamdulillah.
But WHY MUST WE sort of ''hate'' other people?
If they don't believe in what we do, stop hating them as such!
I mean, even Allah had said once in surah Al-Kafirun, the last verse.
"for you your religion, for me mine."
There's this sceptically feeling that most muslim acted badly towards others that make them feel as if
"its either you're a muslim, or you're an enemy''
OMG!!!

what is it yeah?
Pleasse.
For Ad-din.
Lets make the change, Insha-Allah.
