BEYOND HALLOWEEN 2009: HISTORY OF HALLOWEEN

Halloween's origins date back more than 2,000 years. On what we consider November 1, Europe's Celtic peoples celebrated their New Year's Day, called Samhain (SAH-win).

The night before Samhain—what we know as Halloween—spirits were thought to walk the Earth as they traveled to the afterlife. Fairies, demons, and other creatures were also said to be abroad.

Celtic Costumes

In addition to sacrificing animals to the gods and gathering around bonfires, Celts often wore costumes—probably animal skins—to confuse spirits, perhaps to avoid being possessed, according to the American Folklife Center at the U.S. Library of Congress.

By wearing masks or blackening their faces, Celts are also thought to have impersonated dead ancestors.

Young men may have dressed as women and vice versa, marking a temporary breakdown of normal social divisions.

In an early form of trick-or-treating, Celts costumed as spirits are believed to have gone from house to house engaging in silly acts in exchange for food and drink—a practice inspired perhaps by an earlier custom of leaving food and drink outdoors as offerings to supernatural beings.

(Beyond Halloween 2009: more on the first Halloween costumes.)

Christian Influence on Halloween

Samhain was later transformed as Christian leaders co-opted pagan holidays. In the seventh century Pope Boniface IV decreed November 1 All Saints' Day, or All Hallows' Day.

The night before Samhain continued to be observed with bonfires, costumes, and parades, though under a new name: All Hallows' Eve—later "Halloween."

Halloween Arrives in America

European immigrants brought Halloween to the United States, and the celebration really gathered steam in the 1800s, when Irish-American immigration exploded.

Anoka, Minnesota, may be home to the United States' oldest official Halloween celebration. Beginning in 1920, the city began staging a parade and bonfire.

Anoka historians say townsfolk wanted to curb Halloween pranks that loosed cows on Main Street and upended outhouses.

HALLOWEEN 2009

Business of Halloween 2009

2009 may be especially scary for Halloween retailers. The average consumer will spend less on the holiday in 2009 than he or she did in 2008, research shows. U.S. residents are expected to spend an average of $56.31 on Halloween in 2009, down from $66.54 last year.

Total U.S. Halloween 2009 spending is predicted to sag to $4.75 billion, about a billion dollars less than in 2008.

Upward of 15 percent [of the people surveyed] said they would either make a costume or use last year's costume, said National Retail Federation spokesperson Kathy Grannis.

What Average Americans Will Spend on Halloween in 2009

• Halloween Costumes: $20.75
• Halloween Candy: $17.99
• Decorations: $14.54
• Greeting Cards: $3.02

(Source: 2009 National Retail Federation survey.)

Some of last year's most popular costumes have also fallen out of favor, perhaps because of weariness with Washington politics.

Among adults, nurse costumes fell from number five overall to completely out of the top ten. "We are speculating that Americans might be sick of hearing about the health care debate, so nurses kind of slipped down the list this year," Grannis said.

"The same goes for politicians, who didn't even make the list. Last year they were all over the streets."

Grannis said pop culture played a major role in skyrocketing sales for both adult and child vampire costumes. The Twilight series, Vampire Diaries, and True Blood appear to have inspired plenty of would-be bloodsuckers this year.

Hallmark Halloween

Americans give about 35 million Halloween greeting cards a year, with the most popular variety being grandparent-to-grandchild, Deidre Parks, a spokesperson for Missouri-based Hallmark Cards, told National Geographic News in 2008.

"The first Halloween cards that we can detect in the U.S. were produced in 1908," Parks said.

Halloween Sugar Rush

There are some 36 million potential trick-or-treaters (children aged 5 to 13) in the United States, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

In 2007 the average American consumed 24.5 pounds (11 kilograms) of candy, much of it during the Halloween season, according to census data.

Great Pumpkins

Far from the pumpkin's native Central America, chilly Illinois produces more than 90 percent of U.S. pumpkins.

Across the U.S., farms grew 1.1 billion pounds of the fruit in 2007, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Total value: about $117 million.

The current world record for biggest pumpkin was set in 2007 by a 1,689-pound (766-kilogram) monster grown in Rhode Island.

Earlier in 2009, though, Canton, Ohio, schoolteacher Christy Harp grew a behemoth pumpkin that, at 1,725 pounds (782 kilograms) is likely to shatter the existing official world record.

About 90 percent of a pumpkin's weight is from water. While growing, a champion pumpkin can add 40 pounds a day and reach roughly the size of a Volkswagen Beetle. (See "Giant Pumpkins 'Go Heavy' This Halloween.")

early bird catches the worm

Get to bed early night so that you can get up at the creak of dawn. Give a fresh start to a new day!

Make it a habit to start your day early with some activity. It could be reading. Gardening, exercising or just taking your dog for a walk. Whichever work you choose to do. You will find yourself more energetic. Alert and organized for the rest of the day.

``The early bird catches the worm.’’

How true this is! An early riser always has a head start over those who are still asleep.

Think of all the wonderful things you do, if you snatched a few hours every from the very early for yourself.

You could brush up on your school work or spend this time to gather more information from other books. If you are in the habit of keeping a personal diary then time could be used to put your thoughts down. You could even write a letter to a friend or relative, or may be you could read a story book for which you never find the time otherwise.

These early hours of the morning are the most precious, because this is when time is your own. It is a time of day when there are no disturbances or distractions. The silence helps you to concentrate.

Devotees use this time for prayer and meditation. Industrious people use it for some work or the other. Diligent students use it to study and there are still other who take exercise in order to remain active for the rest of the day.

Most great leaders like Napoleon and Hitler understood the value of working at dawn. They utilized this time to organize themselves for the rest of the day. It might be a good idea if you did the same.

If you are in the habit of waking up just in time to rush off school, why do not you try to start your day a couple of hours earlier from tomorrow?

Give yourself this time to check out your time-table to see whether all your books are packed correctly. May be, you would like to go over a lesson or two, so that you are thoroughly prepared for your day at school.

You will be amazed at the amount of activity there is at the creak of dawn. The butter fly flits from flower to flower. The birds leave their nest in search of food- the man boatman sets out to sea for his catch while the farmer goes to plough in the field.

Better than a Doctorate Degree from Harvard


If you see anyone drinking tea, and you ask him what he is drinking, he will tell you "tea." There is sugar in the tea, but he will not mention the sugar, no one ever says he is drinking tea-and-sugar. No doubt the sweetness of the sugar fills the tea, but the person drinks and says nothing about it.

The long standing tradition of Qur'anic memorization is analogous to the sugar, doing its work in secret. In a child who embarks on the journey of memorizing Qur'an we see that the hands, nose, ears, eyes, and tongue are dynamic, but no one can see what the soul is accomplishing. Their ears come across as listening, and their tongues seems to be talking. But no matter what it may seem to be, it is not only the tongue that talks. And in spite of form, it is not only the ears that hear. That which speaks and hears is the invisible soul within. The effect of the long standing tradition of Qur'anic memorization on a child is similarly invisible.

And this is what happens to a child when he memorizes the words of Allah, the Exalted. We might think they are just memorizing words. But in actuality, every letter they say, every sound they make, makes an imprint in their hearts and minds which enables them to take the imitated step of converting his oral recognition of Qur'anic language into a physical act.

The best education we can give our children is the memorization of the Holy Qur'an. As Rasulullah (saw) said: "No group of people gathers in one of the houses of Allah to recite the Book of Allah and study it together, but tranquility descends upon them, the angels surround them, mercy comes down upon them, and Allah mentions them to those who are with Him." (Muslim).

The first group of students I ever taught was a group of 9 year-olds in a Hafidh Program in 1998. I was merely their English teacher. As each day passed by, I saw little beings change from being passive to being connected. I witnessed what seemed at the time insignificant moments of sharing between classmates evolve into brotherhood. I saw the honor of one being defended by all, and I saw the grief of a few being shared by many. They finished the school year with highest class percentage of 98% in all subjects, and to this day continue to excel academically. This is rare to find in America today. There was nothing magical in it. They were revolutionized because they entrusted their time with Allah, by the memorization of the Holy Qur'an, the words of Allah, the Exalted.

The vessels for preservation of Islam are in our children's hearts. Allah says:

"Nay, but they, the clear ayat, are preserved in the breasts of those who have been given knowledge…" [Qur'an 29:49]

It is our duty to plant these seeds in our children for we must equip them for what lay ahead of them. There is no better time to preserve our heritage than today, in these critical times.

As there are numerous full-time schools sprouting in the west, it is time that we as parents invest our children's time memorizing the Qur'an and join the ranks of thousands who seek to earn the pleasure of Allah (azza wajal) and preserve the very foundation of our Islamic identity. Yes! It's better than a doctorate degree from Harvard as we are reminded by the words of the Prophet (saw) about its reward:

Buraydah (r) said: "I was sitting with the Prophet (saw) and I heard him say: ..The Qur'an will meet its companion on the Day of Resurrection when his grave is opened for him, looking like a pale man, and it will say to him, 'Do you know who I am?' He will say, I do not know you.' It will say to him, 'Do you know who I am?' He will say, I do not know you.' It will say, 'I am your companion the Qur'an, who made you thirsty on hot days and kept you awake at night. Every merchant will benefit from his trade, and today you will benefit too.' He will be given power in his right hand and immortality in his left, and on his head will be placed a crown of dignity. His parents will be given two garments the like of which could never be made by the people of this world and they will say, 'How did we earn these?' It will be said, 'Because your child learned the Qur'an.' Then it will be said to him, 'Read and go up through the levels and rooms of Paradise. He will keep on ascending as long as he reads or recites.'" (Ahmad).

Janganlah bersangka buruk kepada Allah

Maka kenapa Allah swt tidak mengurniakan impian kita pada waktu tersebut, ianya kerana Allah swt lebih mengetahui bila waktu yang sesuai dan adakah permintaan hajat kita itu sesuai dengan perjalanan takdir kita.



Janganlah kita bersangka buruk kepada Allah hanya kerana kita tidak mencapai hajat kita. kita tidak tahu seandainya hajat kita dicapai pada waktu yang belum sepatutnya ianya akan merosakkan kehidupan kita. dan kita juga sebenarnya tidak akan tau dengan pasti bilakah waktu yang sesuai untuk kita memliki hajat itu dan adakah sebenarnya hajat yang kita inginkan itu bukan dalam takdir kita. Maka kita seringlah bertanyakan pilihan terbaik kepada Allah swt daripada memerintah Allah swt tanpa sedar agar meenunaikan hajat kita. Sesungguhnya Allah swt itu lebih tahu apa yang terbaik untuk kita, dan kita semua tahu tentang itu cuma ikatan kehendak terlallu kuat untuk dirungkai.

Lazimkanlah berdoa “Ya Allah pilihkanlah untukku dengan kekuatan ilmu-MU, tentukanlah untukku dengan kehendakmu, aku pohon kemurahanMU yang sangat luas, kerana Engkaulah yang boleh menentukan sesuatu dan aku tidak boleh, Engkau maha mengetahui apa yang tidak ku ketahui, dan Engkaulah yang paling tahu hal-hal yang ghaib. Ya Allah, jika sesuatu ini menurutMU baik bagi diriku, kehidupanku dan kesudahan ku maka pilihlah ia untukku dan mudahkanlah ia bagiku kemudian berkatilah, dan seandainya ini menjadi malapetaka bagiku, agamaku, kehidupanku dan kesudahan perkaraku maka jauhkanlah ia dariku sejauh-jauhnya, dan berilah aku kebaikan di mana saja berada dan redhailah aku kerananya.”

Lazim yang saya maksudkan bukanlah sekadar menadah tangan di atas sejadah. Lazim bagi mereka yang mengamalkan soul power adalah melakukannya di mana sahaja hingga ianya menjadi satu kebiasaan. Cubalah lakukannya selama dua minggu di mana sahaja dan perhatikan perubahan hidup anda.

DUTK vs BBB

Dalam sistem meditasi Islam kejayaan dalam setiap yang kita lakukan mempunyai formula asas yang sama iaitu DOA + USAHA + TAWAKAL = KEJAYAAN (DUTK).


BBB


berusaha, berdoa, bertawakkal

tabah... dan semuga tabah dan ingat Allah

Tidak satu zarah pun yang mampu bergerak tanpa izin Allah swt. “Tiada suatu musibah pun yang menimpa diri seseorang kecuali dengan izin Allah, dan barangsiapa yang beriman kepada Allah, nescaya Allah akan memberi petunjuk kepada hatinya (HR Bukhari).

orang yang kuat dia akan hidup dengan cinta Allah swt

Imam al Baqir berkata kepada salah seorang sahabatnya, "Aku wasiatkan engkau dengan lima hal. Jika engkau dizalimi, maka janganlah engkau menzalimi. Jika mereka mengkhianatimu, janganlah engkau berkhianat. Jika engkau didustai, janganlah engkau marah. Jika engkau dipuji, janganlah engkau bergembira. Dan jika engkau dikecam, janganlah engkau bersedih hati." Jika kita lihat kata-katanya seperti kata-kata orang lemah namun itulah sebenarnya orang yang kuat kerana orang yang kuat dia akan hidup dengan cinta Allah swt dan setiap masalah yang datang pastinya dengan izin Allah swt.

what is my follow up research???








Scientific studies prove three Universiti Malaya lecturer prayers required of Muslims every day to not only spirituality but practice has proved the wisdom implied physical and mental health, especially increasing the level of human health. Prayer as a pillar of Islam which every Muslim has to be studied from many angles spiritual. However, have we thought about the meaning of each movement as prayer qiyam, bow down, prostrate, prostration and sitting between two Tahiyat Tahiyat early and late.

Whether movement is simply a movement of the body has no meaning? Modern scientific research reveals that the practice is done five times each day is not only a spiritual practice that connects slave to its creator. Greatness prayers fact benefit the human body. Results of scientific studies to prove the duty of every Muslim has implied wisdom of human physical and mental.

More encouraging results obtained evidence that local studies, including a non-Muslim. They are lecturers at the Faculty of Engineering Department of biomedical Engineering University of Malaya (UM) led by Associate Professor Dr Fatimah Ibrahim with Professor Wan Abu Bakar Wan Abas and Ng Siew Cheok.

Driving this study is the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and grants through the Department of Prime Minister (PMD), the study aims to determine the therapeutic value of prayer against those who perform prayers, including in terms of cardiovascular system, body composition, signal the brain and muscle activity. Wan Abu Bakar Dr. clarify when the study said, they are biomedical engineers who have studied the human body in terms of engineering.

Reported, the study tried to see what happens to the actual physical and mental when people make prayers. "Research is divided into several sections, I examine the muscle activity, Siew Chok studying brain signals, which is what happens to the brain waves during prayers. Dr. Fatimah study body composition, "he said.

He said the study results found that there are many positive things to do when a prayer and included in this book `Prayer: Benefits From Science Perspective 'Department of biomedical issues. This book has two versions, English and Malay language.

So far, the study is the first scientifically done in this country. However, there have been several studies of the same, but not comprehensive and complete as do UM. A medical doctor from Indonesia, Prof. Dr. Moh Sholeh, doing research for special prayers tahajud.

He took blood samples, stress hormones (stress) and immunity in the body. After three months of doing prayers, samples taken again and found to increase immunity and decrease stress hormones. Formula prayers tahajud can treat cancer.

Another study conducted by three medical doctors from Hokkaido University in Japan, namely Mohammed Faruque Reza, Yuji Urakami and Yukio Mano, who found that body position (posture) prayers can treat the sick elderly bones.

Dr. Wan Abu Bakar, said the study should end this year, but the department has several new proposals to expand the study. Clarify further the study, Dr. Fatimah, who led the study said the new areas that will be studied is the difference between the common prayers and scholars.

"The study will examine brain signals scholars and common people during prayer. Are those brain signals are more pious than the usual quiet because we expect them to understand the language of the Qur'an, "he said. However, scholars have reported difficult to voluntarily participate in this test. He gave an assurance that their identity be kept confidential and only participate in the test sample is expressed from a particular group.

Compared to earlier studies that confirm prayer provides many benefits to human health, said further studies clarify the process of prayer to treat various diseases. Taking Erektil Dysfunction (ED) or impotence, for example, reported initial studies confirm that prayers have a positive effect for treating ED, but they want to study how to treat diseases such prayer movement.

Kajian saintifik tiga pensyarah Universiti Malaya membuktikan solat yang diwajibkan kepada umat Islam setiap hari, bukan hanya amalan kerohanian tetapi terbukti mempunyai hikmah tersirat terhadap fizikal dan mental terutama meningkatkan tahap kesihatan manusia. Solat sebagai rukun Islam yang wajib dilakukan setiap umat Islam sudah banyak dikaji dari sudut kerohanian. Bagaimanapun, pernahkah kita berfikir mengenai pengertian setiap gerakan solat seperti qiyam, rukuk, sujud, duduk antara dua sujud serta tahiyat awal dan tahiyat akhir.

Adakah gerakan itu hanya sekadar gerakan tubuh yang tidak mempunyai makna? Kajian sains moden mendedahkan bahawa amalan yang dilakukan lima kali setiap hari bukan hanya suatu amalan kerohanian yang mendekatkan hamba kepada penciptanya. Kehebatan solat ternyata memanfaatkan tubuh manusia. Hasil kajian saintifik membuktikan kewajipan terhadap setiap umat Islam mempunyai hikmah tersirat terhadap fizikal dan mental manusia.

Lebih membanggakan bukti itu diperoleh hasil kajian anak tempatan, termasuk seorang bukan Islam. Mereka adalah pensyarah Jabatan Kejuruteraan Biomedikal di Fakulti Kejuruteraan Universiti Malaya (UM) yang diketuai Profesor Madya Dr Fatimah Ibrahim bersama Profesor Wan Abu Bakar Wan Abas dan Ng Siew Cheok.

Penggerak kajian ini ialah Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi dan melalui geran Jabatan Perdana Menteri (JPM), kajian itu bermatlamat menentukan nilai terapeutik solat terhadap mereka yang melakukan solat, termasuk dari segi sistem kardiovaskular, komposisi tubuh, isyarat otak dan aktiviti otot.Dr Wan Abu Bakar ketika memperjelaskan kajian itu berkata, mereka adalah jurutera bioperubatan yang mengkaji tubuh manusia dari segi kejuruteraan.

Katanya, kajian itu cuba melihat apa yang sebenar berlaku kepada fizikal dan mental manusia ketika melakukan solat. “Kajian dibahagikan kepada beberapa bahagian, iaitu saya mengkaji aktiviti otot, Siew Chok mengkaji isyarat otak, iaitu apa yang berlaku kepada gelombang otak ketika solat. Dr Fatimah mengkaji komposisi tubuh,” katanya.

Beliau berkata, hasil kajian mendapati bahawa ada banyak perkara positif apabila seseorang melakukan solat dan ini dimuatkan dalam buku `Solat: Kebaikan Dari Perspektif Sains’ terbitan Jabatan Kejuruteraan Biomedikal. Buku ini mempunyai dua versi, bahasa Melayu dan Inggeris.

Setakat ini, kajian itu adalah yang pertama dilakukan secara saintifik di negara ini. Bagaimanapun, sudah ada beberapa kajian yang sama, tetapi tidak menyeluruh dan lengkap seperti yang dilakukan UM. Seorang doktor perubatan dari Indonesia, Prof Dr Moh Sholeh, melakukan kajian khusus terhadap solat tahajud.

Beliau mengambil sampel darah, hormon tekanan (stress) dan imuniti dalam badan. Selepas tiga bulan melakukan solat, sampel diambil lagi dan didapati imuniti meningkat dan hormon tekanan menurun. Rumusannya solat tahajud boleh merawat barah.

Kajian lain dilakukan oleh tiga doktor perubatan dari Universiti Hokkaido di Jepun, iaitu Mohammed Faruque Reza, Yuji Urakami dan Yukio Mano, yang mendapati bahawa posisi tubuh (posture) solat boleh merawat warga tua yang sakit tulang.

Dr Wan Abu Bakar berkata, kajian sepatutnya berakhir tahun ini, tetapi jabatan mempunyai beberapa cadangan baru bagi memperluaskan kajian itu. Memperjelaskan kajian lanjutan itu, Dr Fatimah yang mengetuai kajian berkata antara bidang baru yang akan dikaji ialah mengenai perbezaan solat antara orang biasa dan ulama.

“Kajian itu akan mengkaji isyarat otak ulama dan orang biasa ketika bersolat. Adakah isyarat otak orang alim adalah lebih tenang berbanding orang biasa kerana kita menjangka mereka memahami bahasa al-Quran,” katanya. Bagaimanapun, katanya sukar untuk mendapat ulama secara sukarela menyertai ujian ini. Beliau memberi jaminan bahawa identiti mereka yang menyertai ujian dirahsiakan dan hanya dinyatakan sampel adalah dari kumpulan tertentu.

Berbanding kajian awal yang mengesahkan solat memberi banyak kebaikan kepada kesihatan manusia, katanya kajian lanjutan memperjelaskan proses solat merawat pelbagai penyakit. Mengambil Erektil Disfungsi (ED) atau mati pucuk sebagai contoh, katanya kajian awal yang dilakukan mengesahkan bahawa solat memberi kesan positif untuk merawat ED, tetapi mereka ingin mengkaji cara gerakan solat merawat penyakit itu.

manusia seperti kutu?

sourcce


http://drinspirasi.com/blog/index.php/bakat/kutu-kegagalan/


Ambil seekor kutu ataupun beberapa ekor kutu. Letakkannya dalam sebuah bikar. Pada permulaannya, kutu tersebut mudah untuk keluar. Ini disebabkan lompatan kutu yang menakjubkan. Jadi untuk mengelakkannya keluar, letakkan sekeping papan atau penahan supaya kutu tersebut tidak dapat keluar.

Ini seterusnya berlaku. Pada permulaannya, kutu-kutu tersebut akan melanggar dinding papan atau penahan tersebut. Tetapi, selepas beberapa kali melanggar, sesuatu berlaku. Kutu tersebut akan mengurangkan ketinggian lompatan mereka. Menariknya, anda boleh mengangkat papan tersebut tanpa bimbang mereka akan keluar. Ini kerana kutu tersebut telah meletakkan batasan pada lompatan mereka.Padahal mereka mempunyai potensi yang besar.

Begitu juga yang berlaku pada manusia. Pada mulanya, mereka mempunyai impian yang besar untuk digapai.Ingin memiliki rumah yang berswimming pool, kereta besar, tanah pertanian yang menghijau. Mahu mempunyai keluarga bahagia, isteri yang comel loteh dan solehah, ataupun suami yang hensem seperti saya.. hehe melawak je.. :-P

Tetapi disebabkan dugaan ‘papan’ tersebut, akhirnya mereka berputus asa. Kegagalan demi kegagalan yang dihadapi menyebabkan mereka berputus asa. Padahal, pada asalnya mereka merupakan seorang yang hebat. Manusia mula membuat kesimpulan seperti kutu. Memprogramkan mindanya bahawa potensinya setakat itu sahaja.. Aduhai..

PS : Soalan cepumas hari ini, jadi perlukah kita memprogramkan minda kita seperti kutu padahal hakikatnya kita jauh lebih hebat?

change they way you think, can you do it?

http://www.affirmationsforpositivethinking.com/

To have a positive thinking mindset you need to have positive thoughts, and they should be in your mind constantly.

The best way to get started is to change they way you think. So start paying close attention to what you think. Everyday catch yourself thinking, ask yourself – what am I thinking about?

Is this thought positive or negative?
Does it help me improve my life or does it make my life more difficult?

If the thought is not helpful, if it doesn’t allow you to succeed, if it doesn’t make your life more pleasant, if you find that the thought is going to attract what you don’t want then change it.

try my best to think positive always

thank you Karim on positive thinking

The Power of Positive Thinking and how to get Affirmations To Work For You
by Karim Hajee

Positive thinking is a practice and it requires that you have a certain mental attitude. When you have a positive thinking mindset you automatically have positive thoughts and you continually recite positive affirmations. This process happens automatically.

When you have a positive thinking mindset you almost instantly find answers to even the most complex problems and challenges. Positive thinking is a mindset or attitude that is geared towards automatically expecting things to work out. A person with a Positive Thinking pattern in place expects, believes and trusts that things will always work out and they often do.

This is not to be confused with someone who simply says: “Think positive and everything will workout.” Such a person is does not have the proper positive thinking mindset in place. They are simply turning to positive thinking when things go wrong – and by then it’s too late, the damage has been done.

Someone who has a positive thinking mindset naturally thinks positive and always foresees happiness, good health, success, and a positive outcome to just about every situation and event that takes place. They also trust and know that they will make the right decision and the right choices. Since they expect it – their mind and subconscious mind find a way to make it happen. This is the power of having a positive thinking mindset.

Now I know that not everybody thinks that positive thinking works, and often these are the people who use the concept of positive thinking sporadically or when they need to get out of a jam. That’s not the way positive thinking worse as I just outlined, so if you try this approach don’t expect results.

There are also those who believe in positive thinking but don’t know how to properly apply it. These are the people who will say “Think Positive” when you’re down or when things aren’t going well. But the person hearing this phrase has no idea what they mean and so tries to apply it and doesn’t get the result they want.

doa bila bayar hutang

“Ya Allah, aku mengunakan duit simpanan aku ini sebanyak RM3,000 bagi mempercepatkan aku membebaskan dari hutang, maka dengan kekuatanMu itu bantulah aku dan memperbanyakkan rezekiku bagi menjelaskannya lebih cepat dari apa yang aku sangkakan. Amin.”

jgn putus asa dari rahmat Allah

Di dalam suatu hadith shahih disebut:

"Semua orang di antara kalian pasti pernah melakukan dosa dan sebaik baik orang yang melakukan dosa ialah mereka yang mahu bertaubat"

Begitu juga hadith yang berbunyi:

"Demi Dzat yang menggenggam jiwaku, sekiranya kalian tidak pernah berbuat dosa, sungguh aku khuatir bahawa kalian akan melakukan hal yang lebih berbahaya daripada sekadar dosa, iaitu ujub (kesombongan)"

berani kerana benar

exam to pass or for your life endeavours

Menjelang peperiksaan, pasti ramai yang gelisah, gundah gelana, takut gagal dan pelbagai perasaan bercampur baur. Mungkin masih ramai di kalangan kita yang kurang (atau tidak) sedar tentang hakikat sebenar peperiksaan lalu menjadi peperiksaan sebagai matlamat kita belajar.

Suka aku memetik kata-kata Imam Syafi'e yang berbunyi:

Barangsiapa yang mencari ilmu dengan perasaan sombong dan merasa tidak perlu kepadanya maka dia tidak akan pernah berhasil dan barangsiapa mencari ilmu dalam seribu kesusahan tapi dia bersungguh-sungguh maka dia akan berhasil

Cuba tanya diri kita, atas dasar apa kita risau tidak dapat A? Adakah mendapat A sudah cukup memuaskan hati kita untuk berasa bangga?

Baik, cuba lihat sekeliling kita. Dalam masyarakat kita sendiri. Berapa ramai orang bijak pandai yang melawan Islam? Berapa ramai orang bijak menindas golongan rakyat bawahan (yang mereka anggap tak bijak)?

Ilmu yang kita perolehi, kalau pun banyak tapi sekadar hafalan semata-mata belum tentu menjamin kita untuk mendapat nur hidayah daripada Allah SWT. Lipat gandakan usaha untuk faham berbanding hafal. Apa yang kita hafal belum tentu kita faham, tetapi apa yang kita faham insyaAllah mudah kita hafal.

Selamat menempuh minggu peperiksaan dengan niat yang betul!

"Berilah peringatan kerana sesungguhnya peringatan itu berguna bagi orang mukmin"

Wallahu 'Alam

i cannot agree less with the author....

we need to study for Allah pleasure...

pray and niyat for Allah, so we got reward from Allah and enter Jannah



=====


in english...



By examination, sure that many restless, depressed gelana, fear of failure and various mixed feelings boil over. Perhaps there are many among us who are less (or not) aware of the fact the actual exams and tests to learn as our goal.

I will cite the words of Imam Syafi'e follows:

Whoever seek knowledge with feelings of pride and feel do not need him he will never find anyone to work and knowledge in a thousand difficulties, but he was hard then he will be successful

Try ask ourselves, on the basis of what we can not be a worry? Is getting a sufficient satisfaction for us to feel proud?


Well, we tried to look around. In our own society. How many intelligent people who fight Islam clever? How many wise men among the people oppressed subordinate (which they consider not wise)?

Knowledge that we get, but if it all just memorization alone will not necessarily guarantee us to get Nur Hidayah from Allah SWT. Fold double effort to understand rather than memorize. What we know very well we would not understand, but what we understand we insyaAllah easily memorize.

Safe through the test week with the right intentions!

Terlalu banyaknya kesan apabila kita mendedahkan diri kita dengan permainan dalam komputer terutama yang sejenis dengan Playstation ataupun permainan video. Anak-anak kecil juga sudah diasuh bagi membuat latihan bagi bermain dengan video supaya ianya menjadi tabiat dan sikap mereka apabila mereka besar. Apabila besar mereka akan terus menerus bermain ‘game’ terutama ketika di pejabat ataupun selepas balik pejabat bagi merehatkan minda.

Bukan sahaja duit dibelanjakan mungkin melalui pengunaan kad kredit, ataupun permainan itu dibeli mengunakan duit pinjaman peribadi yang belum dilunaskan sehingga hari ini.

Apakah isi kandungan watak-watak di dalam permainan video itu ? adakah ianya mengingatkan akan suruhan dan tuntutan Allah?

Selain dari membelanjakan duit, kita juga memberi ruang kepada anak-anak bagi terdedah dengan game yang rata-rata wataknya seksi-seksi. Apakah yang bakal merangsang anak-anak kita yang normal itu apabila melihat perkara-perkara yang tidak sepatutnya?

Di sini www.shamsuddinkadir.com sekali lagi tidak menyarankan kepada mana-mana individu bagi memiliki, mengunakan ataupun mendedahkan diri dan ahli keluarga dengan permainan yang berpaksikan perkara yang memudharatkan kita yang ditegah oleh Tuhan yang memberi peluang kepada kita selagi tarikh mati kita belum sampai.

My Dream
A personal story in the experience: I Want to Write a Book




( this is just like my dream ...... :)


I don't even know how many times in the past year I have opened up a word document or a journal and tried to get ideas for some sort of book. Sometimes the motivation strikes me, other times not so much. A few minutes ago I caught myself doing this, so I figured I should come on here instead.
I know I'm capable of writing an excellent book, but in order to do this takes planning and brainstorming... all of which I'm not very good on following through on.

I want to get a piece of my mind into other people's minds. To me, that would be a great accomplishment.

You know the things that you think when you're not really meaning to think at all? Just the bizarre stuff that goes through your head on a daily basis? I want to make a book along those lines. Not really sure of the plot (again, brainstorming..) but I almost want it to be somewhat of a Kurt Vonnegut style... but not exactly. I just want my book to be different.. a part of me. Something interesting and new that will captivate readers and stun publishers... nothing bland and common.. I don't think I could ever write about my life.

Anyway.. this WILL happen.. someday. I am scared that it will be a huge project getting published. I hope that doesn't cause me to back out.

My Dream As a Ten-Year-Old 3 weeks ago
Really. I know that so many people want to do this, but honestly, since I was young enough to understand the concept, I’ve wanted to write a book. A novel. I don’t know if acting influenced it at all, but I’m in love with quirky characters and I’ve always had such a deep wanting to tell a story.
I just need a solid idea…

My Dream - Publish My Book - More amazing videos are a click away



You stared at the blank page and filled it with words. You did that over and over until the story worked. After battling the demons that tried to keep you from writing, you did the impossible: you finished. Now for the hard part: getting it published. You may have to revise. You may have to start over. But you may have a bestseller on your hands.

interesting on how to get straight A's

this is for my son and daughter gcse coming soon next month...:


It took me
6 months
It made me
feel in control.


"I got straight A's for one semester."
How I did it: In my folder I kept a page for every class, and wrote down the grade I received on every assignment, and kept a running update of my grades in every class in the front of my notebook. Whenever any one looked like it was gonna slip, I put extra time into reading, note-taking, studying, memorizing for that class. I even read extra stuff not assigned by the teacher in order to be able to answer extra stuff on the essay questions.

Lessons & tips: Keep track of everything. Ask your teacher how much each assignment is worth. Do EVERY assignment, make sure the ones of little value are done well, and the ones of larger value are done really well. It takes time and attention to detail.

=====


It took me 20 years It made me apathetic ...


"It was hard and sometimes boring, but I have knowledge and skills I wouldn't have had if I didn't do it."
How I did it: Always attend class unless you're sick or have an emergency. Get there early enough to pick out a seat where you'll be able to see and hear everything, and be in the instructor's line of sight. Get out paper and two pens or pencils, as well as any assignments or books you'll need so you don't miss anything while looking for them. Put away anything that might distract you.

During a lecture, take notes. Write down important words and phrases and copy diagrams. Leave wide margins to put down your own ideas and questions. If there is nothing to take notes on, doodle. It keeps you slightly more focused than daydreaming, just in case important information comes up.

Keep your calendar and to do list with you at all times. Note down assignments, test dates, etc. as soon as you get them. Keep your paperwork organized and easily accessible. The syllabus, instructions for assignments, and so forth should all be in one place.

During group work, be the one who's organized. The note taker usually gets to deliver the group's findings to the class. That will get you noticed by the instructor, and unless you're a complete goof-off, being noticed by the instructor is a very good thing.

Do all your assigned reading (if possible.) If it's not possible, and that's a distinct possibility especially in grad school, prioritize. Skip the highlighter and instead write notes in the margins. (If it's not your book, use post-its.) The notes should include your own ideas and questions. At the end of each chapter, write a quick outline summary of that chapter. Go back to the questions you wrote down and try to answer them using what you've read. Use reference books and the internet to try to answer your questions as well. Bring difficult questions to your instructor.

When you get an assignment, plan your strategy that night or the next morning. Figure out what you'll need to do step by step, how much time each step will take, and put it all on a timeline. Leave enough time to get help from the instructor, tutors, friends, or the Writing Center if you run into trouble.

To prepare for tests, test yourself. Ask your instructor what kinds of questions (multiple choice, short answer, essay) will be on the test, and guess at what questions might be asked. For subjects like math and chemistry, work out practice problems you can get. Check your answers and then focus on your problem areas. For subjects like history and literature, write an outline of all the material from memory. Then go back to your notes and texts and scan them to see what you left out. That's the stuff you need to work on.

Keep your desk really organized, clean, and neat. If you don't like a desk, you don't need one, but you do need a comfortable place to sit, a place to put your computer and spread out a little, and a place to store your stuff. An easy chair next to a file cabinet is great if that's what works for you. Create a separate login on your computer that doesn't have access to games and use something like LeechBlock (a Firefox plugin) to keep yourself from surfing or going on social networking sites while you're working. Don't watch TV while working. Most people have some music that helps them focus and other music distracts them - have a separate "concentration" playlist if you need to. Noise cancelling headphones are a very good idea in a shared dorm room or a busy house.

Work for 40-90 minutes, then take a 10-20 minute break. Switch tasks. Don't let yourself burn out.

Get enough sleep. Mental work tires you out, and young people need a lot more sleep than 30 year olds. Try to sleep a regular schedule, but if you're thrown off, force yourself to get up at the same time and make up for it by taking a 20-120 minute nap and then going to bed early. That alone will make a world of difference for your ability to concentrate. Eat right, take a vitamin, drink lots of water, and exercise no matter how busy you get. Don't binge drink, smoke pot habitually, or use heavy drugs.


Lessons & tips: Do not try to get good grades for personal fulfillment. Grades are just an indicator, and academics aren't always directly related to what's important in life. Do it for the good it will give you - acquiring knowledge and skills, getting the credentials you need to make a good living, developing self-discipline, or whatever.

Resources: A quiet, comfortable place to study and lots of time to do it in.

berdoa , berusaha , ber tawakal

Bagaimana berasa sangat yakin kepada Allah SWT ketika berdoa di mana yakin Allah SWT akan memakbulkan doa kita?



Apabila berdoa SEDARLAH Allah SWT sebenarnya terus sahaja memproses doa kita agar dimakbulkan. Doa kita bukan tidak dimakbulkan tetapi sedang diproses agar diri kita benar-benar bersedia menerima apa yang didoakan itu setelah Allah SWT memakbulkan permohonan kita nanti. Dengan menyedari doa kita sedang diproses, ia mampu meyakinkan kita dengan doa kita.

have i set my priority? training to achieve goal

By: MiePekan

Just to share with you on the importance of training and setting priority. I learned this from the world's Squash Queen : Nicol David. I was on the plane the other day and got a free copy of the inflight magazine. One article excited me and it was about "15 minutes with". This time it was with Nicol David.

Nicol David was asked, ".....how do you maintain your form?"
Her replies " Squash is my priority, I do it full time. Training and keeping fit are my main focus. I train up to six days a week, including playing squash twice a day, and fitness or gym sessions to make sure i'm prepared for tournaments. I still feel that i have more to do to reach my full potential".

Based on her answers, a lot we can learn from this world No1 squash icon!

1 in a Thousand to enter Heaven

Saya jadi insaf bila baca blog Prof bertarikh 17.8.2009 – setiap 1000 umat/keturunan Nabi Adam hanya seorang saja yang akan terus ke syurga...

complete entry from here



traslate by google

n english:


======

In the stacks of new books that I have, inflame and moved to read the script Hadith Qudsi I bought a year ago. After a topic, I moved to another topic. Within days, tens of Hadith I have read and observed. One of them mentioned that in every 1000 people / descendants of Adam only only one that will go directly to heaven [Hadith Sahih Bukhari Volume 3, Hadith Number 1470]. Dasyat - only 0.1%!

I am restless. Sukarnya. However menggerak heart to see it from a different perspective. I find the latest world population statistics here. Yesterday, the world's population at 6.8 billion. If calculated based congak easy, only 6.8 million who will step into heaven with the mind. Alahai not sampaipun 1 / 4 people.



I'm still not satisfied. I'm looking for statistics on the Muslim world. Statistics last three years. It looks like the following, only 21 percent! Let us sedapkan own heart: 79 percent of other legal and 6.8 million in the Fire should continue to enter heaven belongs to Muslims who number around 1.4 billion. Alahai is still small - only 0.5% of total Muslims are!

I bermuhasabah reflective and self. Ask, can I be among the few that?. Then yesterday morning I gave them tazkirah the dawn prayer in congregation in the mosque.

"Civil / i, be grateful because we can perform the dawn prayer in congregation in the mosque. Let us keep the favor of God for this. We are among the few. Civil / i represents less than 0.5% of statistics that God promised to continue to enter heaven. We call, we preached and we invite our friends to be with, if they do not want - even if their understanding and knowledge - not why. They want to joint in the other 99.5% Muslim. The promise of Allah is true.

Yesterday, bilal stretch microphone to my prayers led Noon. I look left-right-back, finding them better than me. "O Allah, permit me to be the imam prayer NOON today. KeampunanMu O Allah I seek ". After prayers, I turned to the congregation and said: "Take five-six minutes for me to say what I have to state the congregation at dawn just ... .."

I want my students-student aware of these statistics, analyze Hadith Qudsi from a different angle. Challenging them to use reason and knowledge to make the right choice.

God O God, Let the us in those little, with mercy and love sayangMu!

======




Dalam bertimbun-timbun buku baru yang saya ada, terangsang dan tergerak untuk membaca naskah Hadis Qudsi yang saya beli setahun lepas. Selepas satu topik, saya beranjak ke topik yang lain. Dalam beberapa hari, berpuluh-puluh hadis telah saya baca dan amati. Salah satunya menyebut yang dalam setiap 1000 umat/keturunan Nabi Adam hanya seorang sahaja yang akan terus ke syurga [Hadis Sahih Bukhari Jilid 3, Hadis Nombor 1470]. Dasyat – hanya 0.1%!

Saya gelisah. Sukarnya. Namun ia menggerak hati untuk melihat daripada perspektif yang berbeza. Saya mencari statistik penduduk dunia terkini di sini. Semalam, penduduk dunia di sekitar 6.8 bilion. Kalau dikira berdasar congak mudah, hanya 6.8 juta yang akan melangkah ke syurga dengan bergaya. Alahai tidak sampaipun 1/4 penduduk Malaysia.



Saya masih tidak berpuas hati. Saya cari statistik orang Muslim di dunia. Statistik tiga tahun lepas. Ia kelihatan seperti berikut, hanya 21 peratus! Marilah kita sedapkan hati sendiri: 79 peratus yang lain sah masuk neraka dan 6.8 juta yang sepatutnya terus masuk syurga adalah milik orang Islam yang jumlahnya di sekitar 1.4 bilion. Alahai masih sedikit – hanya 0.5% daripada jumlah orang Islam tersebut!

Saya termenung dan bermuhasabah diri. Bertanya, bolehkah aku termasuk dalam golongan yang sedikit itu?. Lalu pagi semalam saya memberi tazkirah kepada mereka yang solat subuh berjemaah di masjid.

“Saudara/i, bersyukurlah kerana kita dapat menunaikan solat subuh berjemaah di masjid. Mari kita jaga nikmat yang Allah bagi ini. Kita termasuk dalam golongan yang sedikit. Saudara/i mewakili statistik tidak sampai 0.5% yang Allah janjikan untuk terus masuk syurga. Kita seru, kita berdakwah dan kita ajak rakan-rakan kita untuk bersama, jika mereka tidak mahu – walaupun mereka berakal dan berilmu – tidak mengapa. Mereka mahu bersama dalam golongan 99.5% muslim yang lain. Janji Allah sentiasa benar”.

Semalam, bilal menghulurkan microphone untuk saya mengimami solat Zuhur. Saya tengok kiri-kanan-belakang, mencari-cari mereka yang lebih baik daripada saya. “Ya Allah izinkan aku menjadi imam solat zuhur pada hari ini. Aku mohon keampunanMu ya Allah”. Usai solat, saya berpaling kepada jemaah dan berkata: “Luangkan lima-enam minit untuk saya sampaikan apa yang telah saya nyatakan kepada jemaah subuh tadi…..”

Saya mahu siswa-siswi saya sedar dengan statistik tersebut, mengupas hadis Qudsi dari sudut yang berbeza. Mencabar mereka supaya menggunakan akal dan ilmu supaya membuat pilihan yang tepat.

Allah ya Allah, tempatkanlah kami dalam golongan yang sedikit itu, dengan rahmat dan kasih-sayangMu!

92% of research at Lancaster is of international quality

92% of research at Lancaster is of international quality




1st in UK for Physics

In the UK’s top 3 for Bio-medicine part of the newly established School of Health and Medicine (in the Allied Health Professions and Studies UoA)

In the UK’s top 3 for Art and Design (which at Lancaster includes Music, Theatre, Film and New Media in the Lancaster Institute for the Contemporary Arts)

90% of Lancaster’s academic staff are ‘research active’


Lancaster University’s mission to excel in research at the highest international level has been given a boost with the results of the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise revealing that 92% of its research is recognised as world leading or internationally significant and some key areas of research are ranked top in the UK.

Taking into account the high proportion of staff submitted to the RAE, Lancaster University emerges in the top ten in the country overall for research quality.

The RAE measures the quality of research conducted in universities and other higher education institutions in the UK against international standards of excellence.

Overall Lancaster submitted 90% of staff as ‘research active’ - considerably above the national norm.

Star subjects at Lancaster in include :

*
Physics ranked 1st in the country
*
LICA’s score – Lancaster Institute for the Contemporary Arts places Art and Design, which at Lancaster includes Music, Theatre, Film and New Media, in the UK’s top 3. 80% of its research classed as world (4*) or internationally (3*) leading.
*
Bio-medicine , part of Lancaster’s newly established School of Health and Medicine, is ranked in the top 3 in the UK (in the Allied Health Professions and Studies UoA) . LICA and Bio-medicine are ranked joint first in the UK when using a methodology which produces a consolidated score for any institution that made more than one submission within these units of assessment.
*
Lancaster University Management School (LUMS) ranked joint 5th in the country
*
Sociology is ranked 5th in the country
*
Computing has 100% of research considered to be of international quality.

Over the past 6 years Lancaster’s research income has grown by 68%.

Pro Vice-Chancellor Professor Trevor McMillan said that the results were a tribute to Lancaster’s talented academics and research teams, with all staff submitted to the RAE contributing to the now-recognised international research culture at Lancaster.

“Lancaster can go forward with strong confidence that its reputation for research excellence , which is remarkable given the university’s relatively small size , has been sustained. This external recognition for research excellence is made more significant when considering Lancaster’s strong teaching record, its popularity amongst students, and the major impact that the university is making in its knowledge transfer activities which benefit the regional economy.”

Lancaster is one of only 29 UK universities ranked in the top 200 universities worldwide, coming in at number 162 in the annual THE-QS world university rankings and is currently ranked top University in the North West in the all the national league tables . Lancaster University is the top ranked university in the North and in the top ten of comparable universities according to the 2009 National Student Survey.

The 2008 RAE outcomes are expressed differently than in the 2001 RAE. There is no longer a 1-5* rating scale. This has been replaced by a quality profile which identifies the proportion of activity reaching each of four defined 'starred' quality levels.

The RAE outcomes are used by the Funding Councils to distribute their block grant for research from 2009-10. The funding model using the 2008 RAE results will be announced in spring 2009.

pusat penyelidikan di KICT itu bakal menjadi peneraju kemajuan dan perkembangan ICT untuk masyarakat Islam

KUALA LUMPUR 2 Mac – Kulliyah Teknologi Maklumat dan Komunikasi (KICT) di Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia (UIAM) akan menjadi pusat penyelidikan dan pembangunan ICT untuk dunia Islam apabila bangunan baru bernilai RM79 juta siap menjelang 2011.

Timbalan Menteri Pengajian Tinggi, Datuk Ir. Idris Haron berkata, pusat penyelidikan di KICT itu bakal menjadi peneraju kemajuan dan perkembangan ICT untuk masyarakat Islam dan dunia sejagat.

Menurut beliau, KICT akan menjalin kerjasama dengan universiti, sektor industri, pusat penyelidikan di dalam dan luar negara untuk mencipta teknologi menggunakan peralatan terkini.

“Semua program di kulliyah itu dibentuk mengintegrasi ilmu Islam dengan ICT. Saya yakin UIAM akan menjadi hab KICT dunia Islam satu hari nanti.

“Jika terdapat pertemuan terbaru sudah tentu ia mempunyai hak intelektual (IP) dan sekiranya ada nilai komersial, semua pihak yang terlibat antaranya universiti dan penyelidik akan mendapat keuntungan.

“Kementerian dan pihak universiti tiada halangan dalam urusan mengagih dan berkongsi keuntungan jika sesuatu pertemuan terbaru mendapat pasaran antarabangsa,” katanya kepada Utusan Malaysia di sini hari ini.

Beliau berkata demikian selepas merasmikan acara pecah tanah di tapak bangunan baru KICT seluas 500,000 meter persegi di UIAM Kampus Gombak di sini hari ini.

Dalam perkembangan lain, Idris bersetuju dengan saranan Ahli Parlimen Pasir Mas, Datuk Ibrahim Ali yang meminta parti-parti politik tidak mengganggu dan mempengaruhi persatuan mahasiswa di institusi pengajian tinggi.

Living at the present.... forget past, future only current

menarik artikel ni source dari click here...


====

sebab ada dia kata ..#


Ketika seseorang pelajar PhD membuat penyelidikan, fikiran memikirkan hal lain yang belum selesai.

Kecelaruan ini membuat kita tidak dapat fokus dengan kerja yang sedang kita lakukan. Akhirnya ia boleh menyebabkan tekanan pada diri kita.

---

hihihi pagi pagi lagi anak seorang kata pada seorang lagi...

janganlah stress. ni dah kira stresss out la ni...

---

hmmm and it make me think... ??!!??

ni artikel penuh living at present....



‘Living at the present’
Semalam saya didatangi oleh beberapa orang pelajar dari kelas lain. Mereka ingin belajar teknik belajar di musim peperiksaan yang seringkali saya jelaskan teknik ini di awal semester pada pelajar kelas saya. Teknik yang ringkas tetapi inshaAllah mampu memberikan fokus kepada pelajar ketika belajar. Tidak kira samada belajar atau membuat penyelidikan juga ketika membuat kerja harian termasuk suri rumah juga boleh menggunakannya.

Masalah utama ketika menerima beban kerja adalah fikiran yang bercelaru dengan tugasan yang agak banyak. Ketika kita melakukan satu kerja, kita akan terfikir juga kerja yang lain. Ketika sedang belajar, teringat ada kerja lain yang belum selesai. Ketika sedang belajar satu subjek tertentu, fikiran masih membimbangkan diri dengan subjek lain yang belum dibuat ulangkaji. Ketika seseorang pelajar PhD membuat penyelidikan, fikiran memikirkan hal lain yang belum selesai.

Kecelaruan ini membuat kita tidak dapat fokus dengan kerja yang sedang kita lakukan. Akhirnya ia boleh menyebabkan tekanan pada diri kita.

***
Tiada rahsia untuk menyelesaikan masalah ini. Setiap hari seharusnya kita perlu merancang apa yang kita akan lakukan pada hari itu. Tidak perlu terperinci tetapi sekurang-kurangnya ada perancangan. Perancangan yang dimaksudkan adalah dengan memberikan waktu pada setiap kerja yang kita lakukan dan yang terpenting adalah mesti berada di dalam keadaan ”living at the present’‘ ketika melakukan kerja.

Sebagai seorang suri rumah, perancangan seperti untuk mengemas bahagian rumah yang mana dulu juga perlu dirancang. Apa yang perlu dibuat dahulu dan perlu ada target masa yang diperlukan. Dengan adanya ‘allocation’ masa untuk setiap apa yang kita lakukan, maka amat mudah untuk kita berada di dalam keadaan ‘living at the present’.

Sebagai seorang pelajar, apabila terdapat ‘allocation’ masa untuk belajar topik-topik tertentu akan membuatkan mereka mudah mencapai tahap ‘living at the present’. Begitu juga sebagai seorang pekerja.

***
Apakah yang dimaksudkan ‘allocation’ masa dan manafaatnya?
‘Allocation’ atau bahasa mudahnya bilakah kerja itu perlu dilakukan dan berapakan tempoh masa yang diberikan untuk sesuatu tugas itu mengikut keupayaan diri sendiri. Kita tidak perlu memberikan ‘allocation’ masa yang membebankan kita.

Kita sendiri tahu keupayaan diri masing-masing lalu peruntukan masa untuk ‘allocation’ itu. ‘Allocation’ masa juga dipengaruhi oleh perkara-perkara lain seperti contoh bagi mereka yang bekerja, tarikh akhir laporan perlu disiapkan dan sebagainya merupakan perkara yang mempengaruhi ‘allocation’ masa. Bagi pelajar, tarikh peperiksaan akan mempengaruhi ‘allocation’ masa ini.

Caranya adalah dengan menyenaraikan semua kerja yang perlu dilakukan dan lakukan check list dengan memberikan berapa peratus kerja itu telah diselesaikan. Proses ini saya namakan indentifikasi.

Seorang pelajar perlu melakukan identifikisi untuk setiap topik bagi setiap subjek dan melakukan sejauh mana mereka tahu dan benar-benar faham topik tersebut. Benar-benar faham bermaksud mempunyai kebolehan menerangkan dengan baik topik tersebut dan mampu menyelesaikan masalah yang berkaitan dengan topik tersebut termasuk pengiraan dan sebagainya.

Ia juga perlu dilihat dari segi keutamaan subjek tersebut. Ia perlu disusun mengikut tarikh peperiksaan di mana tarikh awal diletakkan sebagai subjek yang mempunyai keutamaan yang tinggi (highest priority). Ini untuk memastikan kita tahu masa yang sesuai untuk diperuntukan bagi membuat ulangkaji topik tersebut.

Manafaatnya adalah kita tidak perlu memikirkan kerja kita yang lain ketika kita melakukan sesuatu kerja kerana setiap kerja kita telah diberikan ‘allocation’ masa.

Ketika sedang belajar topik A untuk subjek A, kita tidak perlu memikirkan topik B subjek A atau subjek yang lain kerana kita tahu setiap topik untuk semua subjek yang kita perlu belajar TELAH mempunyai ‘allocation’ masa sendiri yang kita rancangkan. Tidak perlu risau belum belajar atau tidak faham. Tidak faham adalah kerana belum sampai ke ‘allocation’ masa yang ditetapkan. Apabila masanya sampai, kita akan belajar topik berkenaan sehingga faham. Jadi kenapa perlu risau?

Begitu juga ketika suri rumah membuat kerja di rumah. Tidak perlu risau bahagian mana belum dikemas kerana setiap kerja kita telah diberi ‘allocation’ masa. Sampai sahaja masanya pasti kita akan mengemas bahagian yang telah kita tetapkan.

Begitu juga mereka yang bekerja. Tidak perlu memikirkan kerja yang lain ketika melakukan sesuatu kerja kerana kita telah memberikan ‘allocation’ masa untuk setiap kerja kita. Dengan cara ini kita bukan sahaja dapat menyiapkan kerja pada tempoh masa yang diberikan, kita juga dapat menumpukan sepenuhnya pada kerja yang kita lakukan. Hasilnya pasti lebih berkualiti.

***
Apakah yang dimaksudkan dengan ‘living at the present’?

Saya telah jelaskan sedikit di sini.

Ia bermakna kita fokus dengan apa yang kita lakukan. Kita juga sedar dengan apa yang kita lakukan. Segala fikiran dan jiwa kita hadir sama ketika melakukan kerja tersebut.

Ketika melakukan sesuatu kerja, kita hanya fikirkan kerja kita sahaja. Ketika kita sedang memasak di rumah sebagai contoh, kita tumpukan sahaja kepada memasak.

Ketika kita menyiapkan laporan di pejabat, kita fikirkan apa yang kita lakukan sahaja. Begitu juga dengan pelajar yang sedang belajar.

BEGITU JUGA DENGAN SOLAT. MELAKUKAN SOLAT DALAM KEADAAN ‘LIVING AT THE PRESENT’ MENJADIKAN KITA KHUSYUK DI DALAM SOLAT. Masalah tidak khusyuk adalah satu sahaja iaitu seringkali kita lupa diri kita ini bahawa kita sedang bersolat. Sedang solat, fikiran terbang entah ke mana. Kita tidak berada di dalam keadaan ‘Living at the present’.

Saya akan jelaskan dengan terperinci tentang khusyuk dalam solat di dalam artikel yang akan datang. Ia sebenarnya mudah sahaja untuk melakukannya. TIADA RAHSIA SEBENARNYA.

Saudara akan dapat menikmati solat dengan penuh rasa tenang dan seolah-olah segala masalah yang terbeban dihumban jauh entah ke mana. Solat yang mampu membuatkan diri kita lebih merendah diri yang merasakan benar-benar kehambaan. Solat yang mampu membuat kita menitiskan air mata tanpa disedari ke atas segala kesalahan yang kita lakukan. Akhirnya solat yang benar-benar memberikan kesan kepada diri kita.

Berada di dalam keadaan ‘living at the present’ membuatkan kita tidak akan mengingati kerja yang lain. Kita tidak bimbang dengan kerja lain. Lagi pun tidak perlu bimbang kerana BUKANKAH SETIAP KERJA SUDAH ADA ‘ALLOCATION’ MASA YANG TELAH DITETAPKAN?

***
Bagaimana mampu berada di ‘living at the present’?

Cara yang termudah adalah setiap apa yang kita lakukan kita berkomunikasi dengan Allah.

Sebagai contoh ketika sedang mengemas rumah:
“Ya Allah kotor nya rumah aku ni ya Allah. Aku nak sapu kemudian nak mop lah ya Allah. Boleh guna pencuci lantai yang aku beli semalam ni ya Allah.”

Ketika bekerja:
“Ya Allah, laporan ni kena data dari Ahmad ni. Aku nak jumpa Ahmad kejaplah ya Allah. Mana Ahmad ni ya Allah. Tadi ada sini. Takpelah ya Allah. Nanti dia balik aku jumpa dia. Kau ingatkan aku nak jumpa dia ye ya Allah. Aku ni kuat lupa. Nanti tak siap kerja aku ya Allah. Tolong ye ya Allah”.

Ketika belajar:
“Ya Allah, macam ni cara untuk selesaikan soalan ni ye ya Allah. Terima kasih ya Allah sebab kasi aku faham macam mana nak selesaikan. Seronoknya ya Allah sebab aku dah tahu nak selesaikan kalau ada soalan macam ni. Yang ni macam mana pula ya Allah. Aku nak baca dulu lah ya Allah. Nanti Kau kasi aku faham ye ya Allah”.

MUNGKIN SAUDARA KATA SAYA GILA DAN SAUDARA AKAN MENJADI GILA MELAKUKAN SEDEMIKIAN BUKAN? Bercakap sorang-sorang. Saudara tidak perlu bercakap. Cukup sekadar di dalam hati.

Saya ingin bertanya, BUKANKAH SAUDARA AKAN MELAKUKAN ‘MIND CHAT’ JUGA KALAU TIDAK MELAKUKAN KOMUNIKASI DENGAN ALLAH?

Tidak perlu kita menipu diri kita dengan mengatakan tidak melakukan mind chat ketika kerja. Kita sentiasa berfikir ketika sedar. Dibuat kajian kita akan berfikir dengan cara mind chat lebih 80% daripada jumlah komunikasi setiap hari. ‘Mind Chat’ adakah komunikasi dengan diri sendiri. 20% adalah komunikasi dengan manusia lain samada kawan-kawan, keluarga dan lain-lain.

Daripada melakukan mind chat bukankah lebih baik berkomunikasi dengan Allah? Disamping kita fokus kita juga ingat Allah. Kita sedar dan sentiasa meminta bantuan Allah di dalam setiap hal kerja yang sedang kita lakukan. Kita minta izin dan redha Allah sepanjang kerja dan secara tak langsung kita sentiasa ingat Allah sepanjang kehidupan kita.

Perancangan dengan meletakkan ‘allocation’ masa pada setiap kerja kita dan juga sentiasa komunikasi dengan Allah mampu membuatkan kita fokus dengan apa yang kita lakukan. Ia akan memberikan hasil yang benar-benar kualiti disamping kita mendidik jiwa menjadi jiwa yang positif di dalam hidup berTuhan sebenar.

Apakah hidup berTuhan sebenar? Adalah kita bersaksi bahawa tiada Tuhan melainkan Allah yang Maha Esa.

Yesterday I came by a few students from other classes. They want to learn techniques to study the exam season which I often describe this technique in the beginning of the semester students in my class. A simple technique but InshaAllah can give focus to the students when learning. No matter whether studying or doing research while also making daily work including housewives can also use it.

The major problem when the workload is thought to receive a distorted curve with quite a large task. When we do a job, we will also work the other thought. When studying, remember there is other work not completed. When studying a particular subject, my mind is still concern themselves with the other subjects that have not made Revision. When a PhD student doing research, thinking mind and other matters pending.

Kecelaruan we can not make this the focus of the work that we do. Eventually it can cause pressure on ourselves.

***
There are no secrets to solve this problem. Every day should we need to plan what we will do on that day. No need detailed but at least there is planning. Planning, it is meant to give time for each job we do and that is important must be in a state of "living at the present time''work.

As a homemaker, such as planning to update the house which also must be planned first. What to do first and should have a target time required. With the 'allocation' each time to what we do, so very easy for us to be in the situation 'living at the present'.

As a student, when there 'allocation' time to study certain topics will make them easy to achieve 'living at the present'. Similarly, as an employee.

***
What is the 'allocation' time and manafaatnya?
'Allocation' or languages easily when such work should be done and berapakan period of time granted to a task according to the capacity themselves. We do not need to give 'allocation' the burden of our time.

Our own ability to know themselves and to the provisions of the 'allocation' is. 'Allocation' time is also influenced by other matters such as the example for those who work, the date must be completed and final report is a matter that affects others 'allocation' time. For students, the exam date will affect the 'allocation' this time.

We do this by listing all the work to be done and do check list how to give such work has been completed per cent. This process I call Identification.

A student must make identifikisi for each topic for each subject and how do they know and really understand the topic. Truly understand the meaning has the ability to better explain the topic and is able to solve problems related to these topics, including the calculation and so on.

It should also be viewed in terms of priority subject. It must be compiled according to the exam date in which the start date as a subject that has placed a high priority (highest priority). This is to ensure that we know time is appropriate to make provision for the Revision of the topic.

Manafaatnya is we do not have to think of our work that we do something when other work because every job we were given 'allocation' time.

When studying a topic for a subject, we need not consider the topic A or B subjects the subject because we know each other for all topics that we need to study subjects had 'allocation' own time that we planned. No need to worry not learn or do not understand. Do not understand is because yet reached the 'allocation' time. When the time arrived, we learn to understand the topic. So why to worry?

Similarly, when housewives make working at home. No need to worry where the work has not been updated because we have given each of 'allocation' time. Until only time we will be sure to update the section we have set.

Similarly those who work. No need to think about work while doing other things work because we have 'allocation' for each time we work. This way we not only get the job done in a given period of time, we can concentrate fully on the work we do. Sure result better quality.

***
What is a 'living at the present'?

I have explained a little here.

It means that we focus on what we do. We are also aware of what we do. Mind and soul we all attend the same when doing the work.

When doing a job, we only consider our work only. When we're cooking at home as an example, we focus only to cooking.

When we prepare a report in the office, we think what we do alone. Similarly, the students who are studying.

Similarly, the TIMES. OF TIMES IN THE 'LIVING AT THE PRESENT' make us humble THE TIMES. The problem is not humble the only one we often forget ourselves that we are this prayer. Are prayers, thoughts fly to where either. We are not in a state of 'Living at the present'.

I will explain in detail about the humble in their prayers in a future article. It is actually easy to do. RAHSIA ACTUAL NO.

Relatives will be able to enjoy the full sense of quiet prayer and as if all the problems that burdened either thrown away to where. Prayer that can make us more humble that felt really servitude. Prayer that we could make tears realized without the errors that we all do. Finally the prayers really affect us.

Are in a state of 'living at the present' will not make us remember other work. We are not concerned with other work. Again not to worry because not every job Existing 'allocation' IS THE TIME?

***
How capable are 'living at the present'?

The easiest way is all what we do we communicate with God.

For example while updating the house:
"O Allah, I am dirty his house ni ya Allah. I I I mop and broom lah ya Allah. Usable floor cleaner that I purchased yesterday ni ya Allah. "

While working:
"O Allah, be reporting data from Ahmad ni ni. I find I Ahmad kejaplah O God. Where Ahmad ni ya Allah. Just have here. Takpelah O God. Later he was back I find him. You remind me I find him ye ya Allah. I strongly ni forget. I am not ready to work later so Allah. Would ye ya Allah ".

When the study:
"O Allah, like how to resolve this question ni ni ye ya Allah. Thank you O God kasi I understand why I like the finish. Exciting O God because I know I dah settle the question if there macam ni. The kinds which are ya ni God. I first read lah nak O God. Nanti Kau kasi I understand ye ya Allah ".

MAY I SAUDARA KATA AND GILA GILA SAUDARA WOULD DO SUCH AS NOT? Speaking sorang-sorang. Relatives need not speak. Quite simply in the liver.

I want to ask, Did SAUDARA WILL OF 'MIND CHAT' IS Otherwise OF COMMUNICATION with God?

We should not deceive ourselves by saying do not mind chat while working. We always thought when aware. Made the study we will consider how mind chat with more than 80% of the total communications every day. 'Mind Online' whether communication with themselves. 20% is communication with other people, whether friends, family and others.

From chat is it not mind doing better communicate with God? Besides, we also remember our focus on God. We are aware and seek help of Allah in every case the work that we do. We ask the permission of Allah and redha during work and in the bush we always remember Allah throughout our lives.

Planning to put the 'allocation' every time we work and communication with God is always able to make us focus on what we do. It will give you results that actually the quality of life while we educate people to be positive in real life Bertuhan.

What Bertuhan real life? It is our witness that no God but Allah the One God.

sedar tak saya masa berdoa?

ustazah pesan berdoa dan meminta pada Allah.


berdoa. takut dan harap pada Allah.


---

adakah saya dah ada kesedaran ini? rasa sedar tak? tepuk dada saya sendiri tanya...

source ; :
mengapa berdoa?



Namun persoalan besar di sini adalah adakah kita benar-benar SEDAR dan merasakan sebenarnya kita ini hamba yang lemah? atau sekadar tahu?

Doa memerlukan KESEDARAN.

Apabila kita berdoa tanpa memiliki KESEDARAN yang kita ini lemah di sisi Allah SWT, kita tetap ego dan berasa hebat di sisi Allah SWT. Kita memohon tetapi permohonan kita tidak diserahkan kepada Allah SWT. Segala keinginan yang kita inginkan adalah sepenuhnya mengikut kehendak kita seluruhnya dan kita tidak dapat menerima kehendak Allah SWT. Lalu di dalam tidak sedar kita menganggap Allah SWT hanyalah sebagai Tuhan melakukan kerja untuk menunaikan segala kehendak kita.

Saudara,

Apabila kita berdoa, kita menyatakan keinginan kita kepada Allah SWT dengan penuh KESEDARAN yang kita ini lemah, bodoh, tidak berdaya dan benar-benar mengharapkan pertolongan Allah SWT. Tetapi dalam masa yang sama kita sedia menerima segala ketentuan yang Allah SWT tetapkan. Kita juga akan terus mengikut segala ketetapan yang Allah SWT perintahkan kepada kita. Maka kita benar-benar akan berserah secara total kepada Allah SWT.

Orang yang beriman itu tidak pernah kecewa kerana sentiasa menerima ketentuan Allah SWT dan tidak pernah putus asa di dalam mengikut ketetapan yang Allah SWT tetapkan. Orang yang beriman sentiasa aktif. Melakukan segala kerja dan berusaha melakukannya sebaik mungkin di atas nama Allah SWT. Urusan rezeki dan segala penyelesaian hidup adalah hak Allah SWT yang kita tidak boleh pertikaikan kerana ia bukan hak kita.

Di dalam masa yang sama juga, kita yakin dan prasangka baik dengan Allah SWT bahawa Allah SWT akan memakbulkan segala permintaan kita. Kita sangat yakin dengan kehendak Allah SWT di mana kehendak Allah SWT merupakan ketentuan yang terbaik di sisiNya untuk diri kita.

Bagaimana untuk yakin? Kita perlu mencapai kesedaran. Apabila kita berada di dalam KESEDARAN, pasti kita sangat yakin,

Saudara,

Memiliki kesedaran ini perlu dilatih. Ia tidak mampu dimiliki secara terus tetapi mampu dimiliki seawal latihan. Ia akan terus meningkat tanpa henti dan penghujung. Kesedaran ini ada turun naiknya tetapi apabila kita sudah mencapai ke satu tahap, ia akan tersimpan di dalam minda bawah sedar kita dan mudah untuk dicapai kembali jika kesedaran kita menurun.

Latihan-latihan kesedaran yang pernah saya tulis di dalam laman web ini:

1. Berlatih Berada Dalam Keadaan ‘Living at the present’
2. Menatap Wajah Kejujuran
3. Pulang Dengan Kejiwaan
4. Sentiasa Sedar Di dalam Membuat Pilihan
5. Sentiasa Berterima Kasih Pada Allah
6. Menundukkan Ego
7. Kembali Kepada Allah SWT
8. Berserah Kepada Allah SWT 100%

dan banyak lagi. Saudara boleh mencari pelbagai latihan menerusi artikel-artikel di dalam laman web ini.

kentut jangan x kentut...he2...

1. Dari mana asal kentut?
Dari gas dalam usus.
Gas dalam usus berasal dari udara yg kita telan, gas yang menerobos ke usus dari darah, gas dari reaksi kimia dan gas dari bakteria dalam perut.

2. Apa komposisi kentut?
Bervariasi. Makin banyak udara anda telan, makin banyak kadar nitrogen dalam kentut (oksigen dari udara diaserap oleh tubuh sebelum sampai di usus). Adanya bakteria serta reaksi kimia antara asam perut dan cairan usus menghasilkan karbon dioksida. Bakteria juga menghasilkan metana dan hidrogen. Propors masing-masing gas tergantung apa yang anda makan, berapa banyak udara tertelan, jenis bakteria dalam usus, berapa lama kita menahan kentut. Makin lama menahan kentut, makin besar proporsi nitrogen, kerana gas-gas lain terserap oleh darah melalui dinding usus. Orang yang makannya tergesa-gesa kadar oksigen dalam kentut lebih banyak kerana tubuhnya tidak sempat menyerap oksigen.

3. Kenapa kentut berbau busuk?
Bau kentut kerana kandungan hidrogen sulfida & merkaptan. Kedua bahan ini mengandung sulfur (belerang). Makin banyak kandungan sulfur dalam makanan anda, makin banyak sulfida & merkaptan diproduksi oleh bakteri dalam perut & makin busuklah kentut anda. Telur & daging mempunyai peranan besar dalam memproduksi bau busuk kentut. Kacang-kacang berperanan dalam memproduksi volume kentut bukan dalam kebusukannya.

4. Kenapa kentut menimbulkan bunyi?
Kerana adanya vibrasi lubang `anus` saat kentut diproduksi. Kerasnya bunyi bergantung pada kecepatan gas.

5. Kenapa kentut yg busuk itu hangat & tidak berbunyi?
Salah satu sumber kentut adalah bakteria. Fermentasi bakteria & proses pencernaan memproduksi panas, hasil sampingannya adalah gas busuk. Ukuran gelembung gas lebih kecil dan hangat dengan produk metabolisme bakteria yg berbau busuk. Ini kemudiannya menjadi kentut, walau hanya kecil volumenya,tapi SBD (Silent But Deadly)

6. Berapa banyak kentut diproduksi sehari?
Rata-rata setengah liter sehari dalam 14 kali kentut.

7. Mengapa kentut keluar melalui lubang dubur?
Kerana density-nya lebih ringan, kenapa gas kentut tidak melakukan perjalanan ke atas? Tidak demikian. Gerak peristaltik usus mendorong isinya ke arah bawah. Tekanan di sekitar `anus` lebih rendah. Gerak peristaltik usus menjadikan ruang mempunyai tekanan, sehingga memaksa isi usus, termasuk gas-nya untuk bergerak ke kawasan yang bertekanan lebih rendah, iaitu sekitar `anus`. Dalam perjalanan ke arah `anus` gelembung-gelembung kecil bergabung jadi gelembung besar. Kalau tidak ada gerak peristaltik, gelembung gasakan menerobos ke atas lagi, tapi tidak terlalu jauh, kerana bentuk usus yg rumit & berbelit-belit.

8. Berapa waktu yang diperlukan oleh kentut untuk melakukan perjalanan ke hidung orang lain?
Bergantung kepada kondisi udara, seperti kelembaban, suhu, kecepatan & arah angin, berat molekul gas kentut, jarak antara 'transmitter' dengan 'receiver'. Begitu meninggalkan sumbernya, gas kentut menyebar & konsentrasinya berkurang. Kalau kentut tidak dikesan dalam beberapa detik, bererti ianya mengalami pengcernaan di udara & hilang ditelan udara selama-lamanya. Kecuali kalau anda kentut di ruang sempit, seperti lift, kereta, konsentrasinya lebih banyak, sehingga baunya akan berlegar dalam waktu yang agak lama sampai akhirnya diserap dinding.

9. Apakah setiap orang kentut?
Sudah pasti, kalau masih hidup. Sesaat setelah meninggalpun orang masih boleh kentut.

10. Betulkah lelaki kentut lebih kerap daripada perempuan?
Tidak ada kaitannya dengan gender... Kalau benar, bererti perempuan menahan kentutnya, & apabla mahu kentut, banyak sekali jumlah yg dikeluarkan.

11. Saat apa biasanya orang kentut?
Pagi hari di toilet. yang disebut "morning thunder". Kalau resonansinya bagus, boleh didengar di seluruh penjuru rumah.

12. Mengapa makan kekacang menyebabkan banyak kentut?
Kekacang mengandung zat gula yg tidak boleh dicerna tubuh. Gula tersebut (raffinose, stachiose, verbascose) jika sampai di usus, bakteria di usus berpesta & membuat banyak gas. Jagung, kubis, susu juga penyebab banyak kentut (bukan baunya!).

13. Selain makanan, apa lagi penyebab kentut?
Udara yang tertelan, makan terburu-buru, makan tanpa dikunyah, minum `soft drink`, naik pesawat udara (kerana tekanan udara lebih rendah, sehingga gas di dalam usus mengalami ekspansi & muncul sebagai kentut).

14. Apakah kentut sama dengan sendawa, tapi muncul dari lain lubang?
Tidak... sendawa muncul dari perut, komposisi kimianya lain dengan kentut. Sendawa mengandung udara lebih banyak, kentut mengandung gas yang diproduksi oleh bakteria lebih banyak.

15. Kemana perginya gas kentut kalau ditahan tidak dikeluarkan?
Bukan..tetapi diserap oleh darah, bukan hilang kerana bocor..Tapi bermigrasi ke bahagian atas menuju usus & pada gilirannya akan keluar juga. Jadi bukan lenyap, tapi hanya mengalami penundaan.

16. Mungkinkah kentut terbakar?
Boleh saja. Kentut mengandung metana, hidrogen yg combustible (gas alam mengandung komponen ini juga). Kalau terbakar, nyala-nya berwarna biru kerana kandungan unsur hidrogen.

17. Bolehkah menyalakan mancis dengan kentut?
Jangan mengada-ada... konsistensinya lain. Juga suhunya tidak cukup panas untuk memulakan pembakaran.

18. Mengapa kentut anjing & kucing lebih busuk?
Kerana anjing & kucing adalah karnivor (pemakan daging). Daging kaya dengan protein. Protein mengandung banyak sulfur, jadi bau kentut binatang ini lebih busuk. Lain dengan herbivor seperti kambing, kuda, gajah, yang memproduksi kentut lebih banyak, lebih lama, lebih kuat bunyinya, tapi relatif tidak berbau.

19. Betulkah pening kepala kalau mencium bau kentut 2-3 kali berturut-turut?
Kentut mengandung sedikit oksigen, mungkin sedikit saja anda mengalami pening kepala kalau mencium bau kentut terlalu banyak.

20. Apakah warna kentut?
Tidak berwarna. Kalau warnanya `orange` seperti gas nitrogen oksida, aka tahulah siapa yang kentut..hehehe

21. Apakah kentut itu asid atau neutral?
Asid, kerana mengandung karbondioksisa (CO2) & hidrogen sulfida (H2S).

22. Apa yang terjadi kalau seseorang kentut di planet Venus?
Planet Venus sudah banyak mengandungi sulfur (belerang) di lapisan udaranya, jadi kentut di sana tidak ada kesannya. Wallahu`alam


He..he..he.. jangan marah. Saja buat joke hari raya. Maklum musim-musim orang buat open house dengan pelbagai hidangan yang menyelerakan dah tentu selera pun tak dapat ditahan-tahan. Bila perut dah kenyang…apalagi… mula-mula sendawa, lepas tu ada la pulak jalan lain untuk melepaskan apa-apa yang patut kan? Apa-apa pun harap berhati-hatilah hendaknya. Tengok dulu kiri kanan, depan belakang. Agak-agak benda ni boleh jadi penyebab tak berlakunya H1N1. Harap-harap tidak la hendaknya. Yang pasti Allah swt tidak menjadikan sesuatu itu dengasn sia-sia, pasti ada hikmahnya. Fikir-fikirkan... SELAMAT BEROPEN HOUSE pada semua.
