Main Pasir


Main Pasir di tepi pantai

Sehari rehat di hujung tanjung

Letih resah hilang pergi

Segar bugar tubuh badan

Sweet Charity Reunion Sejuta Wajah 1996 Stadium Merdeka

Terlalu istimewa untuk di ulas
Segalanya bermula di sini
Dan mungkin berakhir di sini
Terimalah Sejuta Wajah, penutup 'reunion' terakhir Sweet Charity

*alFateeha utk Syed Hassan.

Pulau Pinang Menangis di Tengah Jambatan



Panas jerih di tengah jambatan
Pulau Pinang menangis tengah hari ini
Jalan di tambah satu lorong
Letihnya 2 tahun, kalutnya 7 musim



Satu Malaya Sudah Tahu


Hattan menyentap lagi dengan keluhan 'masterpiece' nya
Balutan baru buat ilham ikhlas kugiran lagenda
Bunyi nya lain tapi tetap menyengat
Bagi yang ingin mencuba, pautkan di sini
*(Mohon Izin dan Terima Kasih buat Ally Elia)
Lenggok Zakiah masih mengoda
Buat Az yang dalam gelap tiba timbul terang,
bentuknya lain di pautan ini
*(Mohon Izin dan Terima Kasih buat Ally Elia)
Bunyi nya lain tapi erti nya sama

A Good Start

It all starts when you wake up in the morning,
A good start is always an early start,
Take 10 minutes to re activate all body parts consciously,
All the while keeping a proper breathing pattern,
Once done, take time to bring you self out of bed,
Take it step by step and you will feel much more relax and ready to face a new day.

Simple Indulgence

Chicken Masala , biryani bashmati rice, chopped long beans and sweet cranberry juice with ice,(?)
Simple indulgence that you savour today,
Life seems simpler after a good meal.

Police Brutality

3 minutes later the buff looking cop whips out his pistol
and beat the crap our of that smilling fella with his baton (?) .
The offence : cutting queue at the airport line.
I cry police brutality,
I demand royal commission inquiry,
I demand diplomatic immunity!

Intan - Garang


Sayang ku garang,
Bak rotan halus,
Pedihnya berguling,

Sayang ku manis,
Bak madu tualang,
Enaknya berlemak.

Bad Hair Day- Never!



Hair crowns my head with cover,
Different colors; black, blonde and brown,
Different parting; middle, side and round,
I am happy the most when I let my hair down!

Swinging in Seoul


Not the best in the world, but pretty close, in my book at least :)

You're not heavy, you're my girl

You're not heavy, you're my girl
You will never be heavy for you're my girl

Fateeha - Multiplication



1x1=1
2x2=4
3x3=9
Multiplication brings on the fight
The twisting and turning make me blind
But at the end I do see the light
Multiplication makes the world so bright!

Nadia-Ada?

Nadia mungkin masih ada
Nadia bernasihat untuk tidak mengalah
Apa ini permainan gerak hati?
Mungkinkah ini percaturan sampai mati?

Nadia mungkin masih ada
Nadia bernasihat untuk tidak mengalah
Apa aku ada tenaga untuk bertempur lagi?
Mungkinkah aku kalah dan mati?

Nadia mungkin masih ada
Nadia bernasihat,aku menerima
Ayuh, ke medan sana!

New Hijrah Year 1429

Doa Awal Tahun



Maksudnya:
Allah SWT berselawat ke atas penghulu kami Muhammad SAW, ahli keluarga dan sahabat-sahabat baginda dan kesejahteraan ke atas mereka.
Wahai Tuhan, Engkaulah yang kekal abadi, yang qadim. yang awal dan ke atas kelebihanMu yang besar dan kemurahanMu yang melimpah dan ini adalah tahun baru yang telah muncul di hadapan kami. Kami memohon pemeliharaan dariMu di sepanjang tahun ini dari syaitan dan pembantu-pembantunya dan tentera-tenteranya dan juga pertolongan terhadap diri yang diperintahkan melakukan kejahatan dan usaha yang mendekatkanku kepadaMu Wahai Tuhan Yang Maha Agung dan Maha Mulia.
Wahai Tuhan Yang Maha pengasih dari mereka yang mengasihi dan Allah berselawat ke atas penghulu kami Muhammad. Nabi yang ummi dan ke atas ahli keluarga dan sahabat-sahabatnya dan kesejahteraan ke atas mereka.

MUHARAM adalah bulan pertama dalam tahun Islam (Hijrah). Sebelum Rasulullah berhijrah dari Makkah ke Yathrib, kiraan bulan dibuat mengikut tahun Masihi. Hijrah Rasulullah memberi kesan besar kepada Islam sama ada dari sudut dakwah Rasulullah, ukhuwwah dan syiar Islam itu sendiri. Pada asasnya, Muharam membawa maksud 'diharamkan' atau 'dipantang', iaitu Allah SWT melarang melakukan peperangan atau pertumpahan darah. Namun demikian larangan ini ditamatkan setelah pembukaan Makkah (Al Baqarah: 91). Sejak pemansuhan itu, umat Islam boleh melaksanakan tugas dan ibadat harian tanpa terikat lagi dengan larangan berkenaan.

Peristiwa-peristiwa penting:

1 Muharam - Khalifah Umar Al-Khattab mula membuat penetapan kiraan bulan dalam Hijrah.

10 Muharam - Dinamakan juga hari 'Asyura'. Pada hari itu banyak terjadi peristiwa penting yang mencerminkan kegemilangan bagi perjuangan yang gigih dan tabah bagi menegakkan keadilah dan kebenaran.
Pada 10 Muharam juga telah berlaku:

  • Nabi Idris diangkat oleh Allah ke langit.
  • Nabi Nuh diselamatkan Allah keluar dari perahunya sesudah bumi ditenggelamkan selama enam bulan.
  • Nabi Ibrahim diselamatkan Allah dari pembakaran Raja Namrud.
  • Allah menurunkan kitab Taurat kepada Nabi Musa
  • Nabi Yusuf dibebaskan dari penjara
  • Nabi Yunus selamat keluar dari perut ikan paus setelah berada di dalamnya selama 40 hari 40 malam
  • Laut Merah terbelah dua untuk menyelamatkan Nabi Musa dan pengikutnya dari tentera Firaun
  • Allah menjadikan 'Arasy.
  • Allah menjadikan 'Arasy.
  • Allah menjadikan alam.
  • Allah menjadikan Malaikat Jibril.
  • Nabi Isa diangkat ke langit.

Best Swing in the World



Vijay Singh, almost a Malaysian, showcasing his soft deft swing.
A joy to watch, a nightmare to copy

Gelang Magnet



Gelang magnet memang hebat, infact there is a study being conducted on its medicinal value in curing cancer in Univeristy Utara Malaysia
I am wearing one as to regulate my irregular and erratic sometimes bordering on throbbing blood movement or pressure or something like that.
According to my better half , Intan, who was instrumental in me getting one, by regulating my blood , it will solve my pimple issues. I do have my doubt since I have tried everything possible since I was 17 to fix my facial concerns, but heck I gonna give it a try.
Gelang magnet or known to English speaking snobs in Msia as Magnetic bracelet or bangle is now a world phenom. People are wearing them and these folks are transforming their lives from sob losers to winners. The likes of Obama, KJ and Tony Fernandez, Lim Kit Siang, K Toyo and Chua Soi Lek has made the magnet bracelet wearing folks look cool, ok maybe not Chua Soi Lek.
My pimple may be attributed to my raging hormones , even at the age of 30+ still rages on (maybe Dr Phil can help explain that), but after almost 2 months of wearing the bracelet, I feel a change in my complextion. Friends around me have also notice and start to compliment. All of a sudden I feel like a 16 year old in From 4 , ever pining for peer adulation and acceptance.
You too can be that 16 years old girl. Call me for a gelang magnet- RM80 a pop!

Nadia - Tiada

Nadia tiada
Datang dan pergi bagai ribut
Nahas yang di cari mungkin tidak kembali

Nadia ikhlas
Bersemuka hanya dengan suara
hari bercinta tamat di hujung yang ke tujuh

Nadia cuba membahagia
Capek jiwa ini rasa belum pun reda
Satu lagi remuk di sebelah dada

Nadia tiada
Datang dan pergi bagai ribut
Nahas ini aku harap akan kembali

Ustaz Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan 1948-1997




Ya Allah, is this the voice from heaven?
My old heart skip a beat hearing the sway, the cry, the cajole, the expression, the love
Preaching the word of thy God with the given voice
Ya Allah, is this the voice from heaven?

Ya Allah, ini kah suara dari syurga?
Berubah hati tua ini mendengar lenggok, tangisan, rintihan, ucapan dan belaian
Berdakwah kamu ayat Tuhan mu dgn kurnianNya
Ya Allah, inikah suara dari syurga?

Tribute to Epp Saiful



Eddie V and the whole PJ mob continue to be one of the saving grace in today rock scene. View video to appreciate a dying breed.

Vege Burger and why it is not on McD's menu


The over burned patty tells the story of this vege burger. While the establishment (one of Arizona best golf resort) seems to believe this is the best the town can offer, I beg to differ and if looks alone can kill, try tasting it. One bite was enough to let loose a whole lot of unpleasent emotion.

Hot Recipe from Mr Hassan


This is the simplest yet most mouthering concoction of fried seafood (pix:squid) with a dose of chilli paste, sauted to perfection to blow your taste bud away. Best serve at room temperature with steamy rice.

Intan

Intan, how happy you are sitting beside me, playing games with my hand and fingers
I smile and relish the moment but I am busy with my emails, pilling on as the hour pass
You then glance and think, perhaps "what way to waste this beautiful night with something so silly"
Intan, I will continue to be lost in your touches and kisses, while I seek out things to gather silver and gold
You continue to play the game , with my hand and fingers while I continue to do emails that don't make sense.
I forget that I am too playing a game
