Mom sent me a phone text, informing that there will be another demonstration in Kuala Lumpur this Sunday morning at nine, and I am advised to stay at home in Damansara. I went to the net and found shocking articles, and videos even to strengthen the validity of the issue.
One video shows a Hindu temple was freshly being half-demolished, the statues still intact. The worshipers, a hundred or two of them, tried to protect it, and there were this armed uniform team trying to disperse them away. It got ugly and a few of the Indians were injured. One got a ugly bloody cut on the head.
So. Is this really happening in the country? I totally disagree with what has been done to the temple. To me it's rude, uncivilized and unethical. No way should a holy place being torn down without proper replacement and approval by the devotees.
Of course I am not a part of the authorities who destroyed the temple, but I could see that there were Malays there involved- and as a Moslem I am ashamed.
I can choose to give up feeling disgraced when I go to work on Monday, but I still owe an apology to my Indian colleague. He is a great Hindu worshiper- he sees beyond the common view and could see what his belief has to offer to him- and I really respect him because of that.
So tomorrow people are planning to have a peaceful demonstration.
Hopefully it will remain peaceful and good results will come out of it.
i am triggered but i can be at peace
Why is it that sometimes I get upset with people around me and I get stuck in it?
I discovered that when I am upset, I dwell in it,
And I totally had forgotten to refer to my Charter of Life.
Perhaps the little voice at the back of my head refuses to have me get aligned with my charter. This is what the diva bitch in me might say to myself-
“Why do I need to give in to people, give up my opinions,
And just agree blindly with what people think or say? That’s not fair, and I will be a total idiot. People are rude, and should be slapped on the face for what they have said to me”.
Ah, little voice, SHUT UP already.
We are humans who tend to make meanings out of things instead of seeing what works.
My Charter of Life won’t make me be an idiot. It won’t make me someone who doesn’t hold on to my principle.
Giving in to people,
Choose them unconditionally for what they are- the nice part and the bitch part,
And stop a while to see what they feel, and what they have to say,
All these will make me act with my brain, not through emotions.
If I don’t agree with a person,
It doesn’t mean I have to see the other person as a bad person.
It doesn’t mean that person hates me or wants to bring me down.
It doesn’t mean that my own self or that person is wrong.
Just stop and see which opinion and which idea works.
Take the content, without creating any meaning out of it.
All in all, it finally ends to one conclusion.
It might be trivial, and it doesn’t mean anything.
And if I slip again into another upset-
It’s okay, I am human, and there’s a chance for me to practice giving it up.
I give up the trivial stuff-
See what works,
And see beyond it- the word LOVE.
Loving people around me for what they are, and what they are not.
I am powerful.
P/S:
Yeah I might hear some sniggers- but to me, they ain’t mean anything. :)

oh dear. am i so embarassed.
The librarian girl entered my my department and walk straight to me.
I thought she wanted to ask help on the computer related problems again.
Librarian girl:: Where's the qiblat direction in the college?
I was stunned.
Bad-me:: Err.. I dunno. I can go and check the prayer room for you.
Librarian girl:: It's okay.
I am so malu-fied!
Is this a subtle reminder by God?

Taken round-round (bulat-bulat) from the internet. I think this one is good for me. How about you?
I am a 22yo male and am daunted of the fact that i may loose my hair.. Generally, i have thick, dark hair and am only experiencing a slightly receeding hairline.. Can any one advise me of any products that have proven results of hair loss prevention and hair restoration without the adverse side effects associated with most? Thank you!
Answer:
Well there are only two "approved" options. Minoxidyl and Propecia. Minoxidyl is a liquid or foam that you put on your scalp. It, generally, works best at the top rear of your head (the crown). Propecia is a pill that inhibits DHT. Propecia might be more effective but it may also have more side effects. You will have to use each of these for the rest of your life to maintain any benefits they may bring. Another, new, option is the Laser Comb! It's basically a brush with a couple LED's attached. They are said to stimulate hair follicles back into a growth mode. Other then these, everything else is basically a crap shoot of hard marketing and half truths coupled with large price tags.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
freind i suggest you take ESSVIT CAPSULE 5mg capsule daily everyday its very good for hair growth and hair restoration from roots so go for it and along with it take a multivitamin tablet like
stamina-od or revital then you will be king of hair ur looks so beautiful try freind its very good believe this is with no side effects because one of freind used and got good excellent results so try best of luck
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first line of defince is a health diet and exersice with a combination of Rogaine. If you feel after a couple of months that Rogaine is not working then I would move on to a consultation with your doctor. He then could prescribe Propecia or another pill that blocks DHT from attacking your hair follicles. There is a laser comb that has been approved by the FDA, but I haven't found anybody that says it works. Good Luck

Hello everybody.
How was your whole week?
Mine was filled up with a lot of activities.
It started with a Friday night where I decided to hit the dance floor
and after an hour I call it quits,
Because my knees boredom were killing me.
Am I growing old? No, I guess maybe there are more interesting things to do on a Friday night, like.. err.. sleeping?
On Saturday morning I had all the spirit to go to KL and swim,
Although I know I’ll be burnt by the sun by noon.
After my refreshing swimming,
I straight away went to the bookshop at KLCC,
And bought myself two trumpet score books.
After I’m done, I rode my bike and was in a jolly mood-
Until a Mercedes, without warning,
Swerved an illegal u-turn.
My bike hit the bumper
And I flew, with my bike, and my books.
Weee… berguling guling.
Two workers nearby saw the scene
And lifted me up
And scolded the Merc owner.
Piak piak piak.
I’m lucky, if not for them,
I might be paying 2k just to sandpaper and repaint the Merc bumper.
That Saturday night I went and watch my friend’s school concert
And the youngsters who were at the seats
Prefer to make noise rather than watch the show.
On Sunday morning, I joined my friends
To Lake Gardens for the Terry Fox charity run.
My gals at the run- Mama Diva, Joubes and Miao.
There were so many people.
Hundreds of them.
Malaysians and angmohs all together.
We enjoyed the run,
And we were exhausted too.
Couldn’t wait to reach home.
And then suddenly the car broke down.
Knowing that all of us were tired,
I took the role to wave away the cars passing by so that they don’t knock into our car.
Shooh shooh, don’t knock our car, knock our doors three times and give us pizza.
Oh don't take my picture so not glamour.
With all the chaotic events that I got involved-
I got a lil’ bit sick, but I still managed to go to work.
Little tiny sickness
Turned worse
And I had flu, sore throat,
*cough cough
And suddenly my scary childhood asthma
Came by and visited me again after a few years.
Not that I missed it dearly anyway.
So my few working days
Was about me walking slowly,
Vomiting and wheezing.
*Uhuk uhuk
I still got the remnants of my sickness today,
Hopefully I’ll be superb in a few hours.
So that was my whole week in a nutshell.
I think nutshell also not enough-lah,
Let’s put them all in one cute kotak sabun.
Fit enough not?

I bumped into this after reading my uncle's email.
Updated on someone's blog.
To the Editor,
"Pendidikan Moral" or Moral Studies is a compulsory subject in the KBSR, PMR and SPM level for non-Muslim students. The subject aims to instill moral values, as well as to occupy non-Muslim students' class schedules when their Muslim counterparts are in Islamic studies class.
I would argue that the needs of our students would be better served if Pendidikan Moral were replaced with a general religion class. I propose a curriculum that would cover, at the very least the basic tenets of Islam, Buddhism, Christianity and Hinduism so that students will understand better the different ethnic and religious groups that comprise our country.
As a product of the Malaysian education system, I am sometimes embarrassed by my ignorance of my peers' religious beliefs. For instance, I remember once offering a cup of juice to a Malay friend of mine during Ramadan, not realizing that the Ramadan fast required abstinence from water as well as from food. I had somehow remained oblivious of this fact despite having lived in a Muslim-majority country for 18 years!
That may have been a fairly trivial example, but I am certain that more grave misunderstandings can occur. I feel that this mutual ignorance of each others' religious beliefs is a main cause of tension in this country. When we as a people are ignorant, we become susceptible to prejudice, lies and hearsay, a process that can lead and has led to strife in this country. In particular, it is easy to see that for non-Muslim students basic knowledge of Islam is important in a country that has a 60% Muslim population
I am also skeptical whether Pendidikan Moral's emphasis on secular morality is effective in instilling values in students. I believe most Malaysians consider their religious beliefs the foundation of morality, and so I feel that a religion class, tying in morality to religious tradition will be more relevant to a majority of students.
The curriculum of this religion class will have to be very carefully designed, as handling it wrongly could potentially upset and offend large groups of people. Nevertheless, I feel that replacing Pendidikan Moral lessons with a general religion class will be greatly beneficial to our country as students would grow up understanding each other better. This is a far more effective way to promote tolerance than memorizing the dictionary definition of "toleransi" word-for-word, as is required in the current Pendididkan Moral curriculum.

give up judging, and people will share.
A story told by my Indian colleague, about his friend in his former company.
There was this young Malay guy.
He was courageous, outgoing, jokes a lot,
and he is also doing really well in his career life.
He has succeeded to be at the upper level in the organization chart.
Everything went well,
but as a human, he slipped out of his smooth path in life.
Being adventurous, this man went over the country border
and slept around with a lot of women.
Such entertainment can be easily gotten- just by providing cash.
And then one day he was given a huge shock - he discovered that he is HIV positive.
Once the company knew this, he was discarded from the organization chart.
And he was fired from his job.
This happy go lucky person’s life was crippled.
He had no where to go, and he stayed at home with his wife and kids.
He called my colleague, persuading my colleague to visit and aid him.
“Nobody else wants me.”
My colleague went over to his house,
and the guy was in a devastating state.
He lost weight, and appeared skin and bones.
He was half conscious, drugged by the medication he has taken,
now that his immune system relies on that.
Despite that my friend is a Hindu,
He touched his friend’s forehead with his two fingers,
And sternly said to him-
“What is this? You let yourself going down in a total mess.
Focus on the word ALLAH in your head.
Focus on that.
All this, is given by God to wake you up.
You have your wife here strongly supporting on you.
Focus on the word ALLAH and things will eventually be better.”
After hearing that,
This half conscious guy,
Suddenly ran around the house,
Crying and bellowing.
My colleague was stunned.
And then his sick friend said to him-
“That was the exact thing being told by the man I met in the mosque”.
Coincidence?
Or a sign?
Up to individuals to think.
And my colleague gave him a hug.
Today,
Regardless of being HIV positive,
This man was offered another decent job,
And he is doing fine.
Maybe he lost his fame,
Maybe he has fallen down with a disease that
Will forever be with him,
But he’s not dying today.
And he still have people love him unconditionally-
His wife, his kids,
And God.
Things happening around us,
Whether it is straightforwardly sweet and sufficient,
Or challenging and full of pain,
It is for us to think
What is shown beneath
The things given by God.

humans ARE judgmental
"Give up being prejudice- and see the values and potential within all walks of life."
This week has set my eyes opened and touched by all the inspiring stories being shared by the people working around me in this college.
Time and again, I will always try to give up being prejudice, and judge people by their blood, where they come from, their education and by their own behavior.
I never say it’s going to be easy.
For instance:
How do you give up being prejudice to a male student who sits for an exam, wearing shorts and ear rings?
True that it’s not the appropriate attire, but how do you act professionally and advice to the student accordingly, and not based on what your feelings says inside and being rude?
How do you give up being prejudice to a foreign lecturer who seems to talk about things that don’t catch your interest- that you label as nonsense?
True that some of us regard them as “irritating” and they have an “irritating accent” when they speak, but how do we give up living in the norm where a person look down at the other?
It goes back to the basics.
We are instruments of God.
It is not up to us to judge people-
But we can always look into what’s workable.
And of course it’s not easy to do so because we are human. We have this voice at the back of our head- telling us to be skeptic, to stay judgmental world- “It’s a judgmental world after all. You judge me, I judge you.”
I’m not letting myself falling into that.
I’m going to constantly drag myself out of it, each time I slip.
After all that’s what my charter of life says.
After all what I got this week is worth keeping as a guide for my own life.

short but critical
Nowadays there are cases of robbers disguised as cops stopping lady drivers and hijacking their car. Even at mid day, in traffic where there are a lot of cars.
Please be careful.
Should you see any “cops” trying to stop you and smash your car, call the real police.
Save this police number and call them if you are under attack. They will send real cops stationed nearby to your location.
0322744465
P/s: Don’t make prank calls. We are big enough to think of the impact of it to people’s lives.
