I was told(taught in class) that 80% of our communication is non-verbal. Since 20% of it consists of words, the other 80% consists of facial expressions, smell, other sound, things that we can sense using our 5 senses. Doesn't have to be words. That's how some people can sort of 'read minds'. Well anyway, I tested this theory during the PC Fair, a simple one . I am annoyed and irritated by the promoters that chase u around with those flyers that people throw away anyway. So i just made a nasty face, like someone just pooped on my laptop and ran away with it kind of face. Amazingly, not ONE approached me. I had a hard time trying not to laugh.lol. noob promoters..XD


Ok well , I guess a little update on what's going on in my life is in order.....where shall I start......

Ah, my new class...well, I've started to get to know my classmates, they're quite a nice bunch I guess. The lecturers are fine, but the subjects this semester are abit heavier in the sense that there are more things to do, like assignments. I've met quite a few new friends this semester..interesting ..mm.

Oh, I did join the sports and martial arts carnival..entered sort of sparring competition..didnt go well, but sure was satisfying..hahahaha..noobhai going into the ring...I actually won two rounds for free!

I'm going thru my midsem exams..and it's one week holiday right now..so all in all, quite an interesting half semester..oh and i did buy some new..'tools'..heh..so..let's move on


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




As an observer of society (cheweyh!) , I noticed that teenagers ,around my age especially, is constantly engulfed and sometimes drowned with emotions..all sorts of emotions, but the one i'm going to talk about here is basically what THEY call , 'love'.

Now, when you like someone, how would you know? is it because of the person's looks? or cutish nature? intelligence? kindness? How would you know that you like someone? of course , u'd be infatuated and everytime you see the person, your heart beats faster than usual. initially, u'd feel like wanting to have the person present with u at all times, or something along those lines.

Now, for a guy, I'd be lying if I said looks didnt matter, but of course, it shouldnt be the main guideline or benchmark on evaluating or judging a female person.We should realize and remember that looks are superficial. It will fade away one day, so there's no point if the only thing u're attracted to is their looks, because once the looks go away, your feelings will go away too. That is IF it didnt go away even when the looks are still there.

Teenagers often get confused between 'like' or infuatuation , and 'love'..I'm not saying I know what love really feels like, but I'm sure that infatuation isn't love, and that many teenagers are confused abt this without them realizing it. I myself have experienced this. meh..and if we indulge in it, it makes us want to do things, like have a relationship n whatnot.which, in many cases nowadays, die out..why? I have no definite answer. So i'll let you people think n try to relate it with your experiences and knowledge.

So, the main question here, what is love? I THINK, u feel love, when u want to take care of that person, and if anything bad happens to the person, u'd feel uneasy and u want to help ease the load on the person's shoulders..now, this doesn't mean the love u see on tv between couples, im talking about love towards anyone..your family, friends, even your spouses..so, for those of you having love problems with your 'couple', dont come to me for help..I dont know much.hah.

So, I think, coupling, is not recommended IMO, and it is haram in Islam. Why I don't think it's recommended,is because the couples we see nowadays , they share almost everything, even some , more than husbands n wives! premaarital sexual relations become rampant. more problems for the society..more breakups in the end..girls will lose trust in boys..vice versa..the very essence of society, the people, is breaking down..well, just my two cents, but try and hold it in, until u can get married.maybe tell the person that u want to marry her, or him, but usually her cuz guys tend to propose.mmm...and then resist any improper relations..most likely after marriage, its gona be beautiful.

Imagine, knowing almost everything abt someone, then marrying the person..the discovery of mysteries is close to none..so in a sense, it sort of dilutes the excitement in marriage..the new things that we might discover, experience together.and it's a much stronger bond than some couple relationship..its a fact , reality, and you know it.

Marriage, is truly a beautiful thing i'm sure, but if u want to compare the marriages we see and hear about nowadays, it may seem that it's overrated.because many are doing it wrong. they built it upon brittle foundation, and so whatever they build, it'll be shaky and risky.. that's why many marriages nowadays don't work out. you don't have to share every single thing, but some things wud be much more enjoyable and fun if you do it together. say, travel, or learn something together.

Have faith in The Creator, The Lord of the Universe, for He understands us, understands our desire to love and to be loved, so we should abide by what He has preordained for us , the guidelines He has provided us. Hopefully, the love we have between His creations will increase our love and faith for Him.


Well, honestly, I don't sense much quality in this post.I'm not good at these things..>_>

But it is one of the things that I think about occasionally. Just to share with you guys... so, yeah.let us use our intellect and think.have a nice day.

Two sides of the same coin.

I've tasted all classes now. So far no bitterness in the lecturers. Good sign.
However, most of the subjects encourages seriousness, or atleast serious focus to understand and process the subjects.

Being the already serious person, this makes my brain feel extra compressed and more veins pop out. especially when thinking in class. last sem sure didnt feel like this.what i felt then, maybe part of it is this serious, not most/all of it.
Not that I don't like it, but maybe it's something which will push my mind to certain limits, or sharpen it more atleast.

However, I don't know why, in my arabic class, I'm like, carefree, a talkalot, makes lame jokes. More fun and happening. More cheerful. Maybe it's due to the people in the class, almost all of them are people whom I've known since last sem, but even then, my arabic class last sem was also quite fun. Maybe learning languages uses less brain processing power like critical thinking, and it's also interesting.

In my other classes, most of them i DONT know. I'm bad with strangers. It will either take some time for us (me and most of d class) to get to know each other, or most still won't know me by the end of the sem. =)

When that's the case, I have no other side to show except the 'working' side. The other side is being kept somewhere, and now there's a boulder covering the entrance. So some time is needed to get it out of the way. Either way, it's interesting to observe the people in my class and how they interact with people, new and old, with lecturers. They're quite different from my old class.



We'll see...we'll see...

The Heart.

The Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) said: “Know that there is a piece of meat in a human body. When it is good, then the body is good but when it is bad, then the body will become bad. The piece of meat is our heart.” (Bukhari and Muslim)



We all have a heart. Literally and abstract. We feel emotions, sometimes they're good, sometimes they're bad. We don't like what we feel all the time. However, sometimes our heart is cold and hard, we don't accept emotions nor do we express them. One way to look at it, we're afraid. Afraid that our heart might get hurt just like the many cases we see today.

The thing is, one of the most important things in sorting out our feelings, in my opinion, is to not let the hormones do the thinking. Be patient, fight the hormones, and let your heart and intellect choose what is right. Intellect-wise being , use as many guidance as possible, reliable ones of course, don't try and think about all or your brain's gona get fried. And the aspect of the heart, do not suppress your feelings, but rather, let it flow into your life, body, mind and soul.

The thing that we do need to control and many times suppress, is our actions, and we need guidance to tell us what is proper and what is not. Trying to suppress feelings and emotions is something, I think, is against human nature, to want to love and to be loved in return. To differentiate between love and lust/hormones, is very important, because you'll be going towards two different things, that can cause significantly different huge impacts in the lives of others. So don't fool around.

Hurting someone's heart is as sinful as any other sin, and you'll need the person to forgive you, for God will give the wronged one his/her due rights.


And anytime you feel the pain, hey jude, refrain,
Dont carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that its a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.


taken from Hey Jude, by The Beatles.

To be able to change the world with love, is better than to be able to do it with solitude and coldness. Rather than fighting and suppressing our nature, learn to tap into its potentials and bring out its best.

Guard your heart, not by building walls and forts to hide it, but rather, embrace the light with it, so that darkness will never prevail. Guard its purity, for it is like a lake , where our senses are like rivers , and what we indulge ourselves with our senses, is the water flowing into the lake. Do not pollute the lake which is pure, with dirty things, things that we see, we hear, we say, we eat, we do. No one's perfect, but atleast put in some effort, your heart will appreciate it , and God-Willing,insyaAllah, He will fill your heart with light, that no other existence can take away from you. Know how to filter the dirt from reaching your heart, strive for it, fight for it, it is a battle within.

A reminder to myself first, and to others as well.

Random Thought.

Let's have this post in BM eh.hehehe.

Kadang2, kita ada kebolehan yang orang lain takde, atau kebolehan yang orang sekeliling kita takde, dan orang sekeliling kita perlukan orang yang berkebolehan itu. Orang2 ni pun pilih lah kita, dalam usaha nak mencungkil potensi dan melatih kita sebagai pelapis pada masa akan datang. (tak semestinya orang lain takde, tapi dah takdir dipilih, nak buat macam mane kan. tak bermaksud kita manusia lagi bagus dr org lain)

Memang betul , banyak faedahnya kalau kita memikul tanggungjawab tu. Tapi bila fikir balik, adakah kita betul2 nak/bersemangat/ikhlas melaksanakan tugas tersebut? Atau kita menerima tugas tersebut hanya kerana telah dipilih dan berasa bersalah kalau menolak? Apakah faktor2 yang menolak diri daripada bersemangat melakukannya?

Setiap perkara yang berlaku ada hikmahnya. Allah memberi kebaikan kepada manusia dengan cara2 yang kita sendiri kadangkala tidak sedar atau faham. Adakah patut kita cuba melakukan tugas yang diberi dengan sebaik mungkin, dan setelah tugas itu selesai, kita berhenti berkhidmat secara khusus sebentar? Apakah matlamat akhir kita dalam melakukan tugas tersebut? Adakah tugasan tersebut dapat dikaitkan dengan matlamat kita?

Mungkin suasana dan orang lain yang bersama melaksanakan tugas tersebut yang membuat kita rasa tidak senang. Mungkin cara mereka yang kita sendiri tidak setuju. Mungkin orang atasan yang terlalu fikirkan tentang kuasa, reputasi, jawatan dan wang semata-mata? Adakah beban yang mendatang yang difikirkan menjadi penghalang kepada pelaksanaan terbaik dalam diri?

Fikir,fikir,fikir.

Muhasabah diri merupakan kunci kepada banyak persoalan dan rahsia-rahsia kehidupan.
Setelah terkena ledakan, sabar, dan tunggu, supaya pasir dan debu reda kembali. Supaya penglihatan mata hati tidak kabur lagi. Supaya keputusan dapat dibuat dengan setulus hati. Supaya jalan yang kita pilih, kita tidak kesali.

Bagaimana pula persoalan hati, emosi dan kudrat jiwa? Adakah kita sebagai manusia berhak memilikinya dan menikmatinya? Sudah tentu, Allah Ya Rahman, Ya Rahim.

Hidayah Al-Ilham Al Fitri..Hidayah Al Hawwas..Hidayah Al Aql..Hidayah Ad-Deen..

Yang pertama, Hidayah Ilham Fitrah manusia, seperti lapar, dahaga dan keperluan berkumuh.

Hidayah Al Hawwas, merupakan nafsu kita, nafsu ingin hidup senang, nafsu untuk kekayaan, nafsu untuk merasa kasih sayang.

Hidayah Al Aql, merupakan pembimbing kepada nafsu kita,logik akal kita, apakah cara untuk memenuhi kehendak nafsu kita.

Hidayah Ad-Deen, deen-al-islam, merupakan pembimbing kepada Aql kita, sama ada perkara yang pada kita munasabah, halal dari segi agama? Apakah kebaikan dan keburukannya?

Allah Ya 'Alim, memahami manusia ciptaanNya. Dia tidak menghalang kita dari memenuhi nafsu kita, tetapi ada batasnya. Setiap yang berlaku ada hikmahnya, dan kebanyakan daripada kejadian yang dilalui manusia, banyak faedah yang didapati jika kita melawan nafsu dan menggunakan akal.

Fikir2kanlah, untuk diri, untuk keluarga, untuk rakan2, untuk guru2, untuk masyarakat, untuk semua umat manusia, islam mahupun tidak, tentang kepedihan dan keperitan hidup yang mereka alami, dan juga tentang kesenangan yang kita nikmati. Apakah usaha kita untuk membantu mereka? Adakah usaha kita mencukupi? Adakah kita berasa sedikit bersalah dalam hati dengan berasa apa yang kita lakukan itu tidak mencukupi?

Apakah yang akan kita jawab apabila disoal di Mahkamah Allah S.W.T. pada hari akhirat kelak?

Kata-kata ini hanya luahan hati dan minda saya, seorang remaja yang tak sematang mana. Jika ada kesilapan,tolong betulkan. Sama-sama kita berfikir dan saling mengingati.

Tinggalkan yang keruh, ambil yang jernih.


Dan sesiapa yang diberi hidayah petunjuk oleh Allah maka dia lah yang sebenar-benarnya berjaya mencapai kebahagiaan; dan sesiapa yang disesatkanNya maka engkau tidak sekali-kali akan mendapati bagi mereka, penolong-penolong yang lain daripadaNya. Dan Kami akan himpunkan mereka pada hari kiamat (dengan menyeret mereka masing-masing) atas mukanya, dalam keadaan buta, bisu dan pekak; tempat kediaman mereka: neraka Jahannam; tiap-tiap kali malap julangan apinya, Kami tambahi mereka dengan api yang menjulang-julang.
Al-Israa' 97



Wallahua'lam.

Personal Clarification.

SOrry guys and girls, if the past few posts have been about the same thing and it got you people bored.

Firstly I'd like to say, thank you FYI for giving feedback. I learnt some lessons from our session, and I hope you learned new things as well. Try and keep an open mind eh?

Secondly, regarding internet islamic sources, or even books, the credibility of it being in accordance with islam's fundementals can be questioned. There are many groups out there who are trying to deviate the teachings of islam. So I'm just saying that the possibility that the sources you get about islam being wrong, is there.

Basically, keep an open mind about possibilities and things that happen around you. What if it was right? what if it was wrong? Is the possibility there?

We all are entitled to our own opinions and without necessity, I find saying " what you're doing is wrong " etc is quite pointless. We can only explain the best we can about our opinions, and let the receivers make their own conclusion.

As I've mentioned before(I think), I'm only a teenager and what I write may be wrong and I may make mistakes. So, if I do, i apologize in advance. No one's perfect.

Thank you for reading.

Response to FYI.

First of all , I suggest you make your comments in the comments section because the tagboard isn't meant for long discussions/statements. Secondly, if you want to make 'accusations', please back it up with evidence and reference.

Now, from YOUR understanding you say that islam is the most manipulated religion of all. Well, that's your understanding, and if u want to defend that statement, again, back it up with your own arguements.

One thing though, please show more respect for other religions, or islam specifically if islam is the only religion you don't agree with. Accusing the PROPHET of Islam of "lusting for a 9 year old" and calling him a paedophile is disrespectful. Look here. http://www.themodernreligion.com/prophet/prophet_aisha.htm
It explains the situation and position of Aisha r.a. who was a child when Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. married her. If you can't grasp what is said in that website, then I can do no further to explain, for as far as I can see, you question it to bring it down, not to find the truth.Correct me if I'm wrong.

Again, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure your vocab and understanding of respect is enough for you to use the proper words to avoid misunderstanding and discontentment of other people.

Your claim.. "another major flaw. islam discourages further thought.". I'd advise you to get your facts straight. You see today that westerns nations are the most developed, but during their dark ages, Islam was at its peak and it was very much contrary to the condition of the western regions at that time. In andalus during muslim rule, the first street lamp was invented. In the 8th century, the algebra that all of us know today was founded by Al-Khawarizmi, a muslim mathematician ,astronomer and geographer. He also revised the world map made by ptolemy. The first optical lense was also invented by a muslim. Ibn Sina, a psychologist and expert in medicine founded many new knowledge on medicine, and he invented the first surgical thread. His book was used as a primary reference by westerners and muslims for centuries. On the understanding of existence, Imam Al-Ghazali ,one of the most renowned scholars of islam, made theories regarding whether the universe is finite or infinite, whether it was created or it came about by itself. Now these are just some examples of islam encouraging further thought. Please, don't make a fool of yourself and do your research before ACCUSING such things. If you brought it up as an open discussion with respect, I'm sure it wouldn't have turned out this way.

You said "another flaw. his uncle didnt make it. but in the end god decides. interesting. you just contradicted youself". You didn't elaborate on this and I don't see how you expressed your point to the point of clear and easy understanding.

Once again, I suggest that you don't go around 'accusing' people or a creed for things that to you is wrong. The least you could do is provide details on why you think so.

The purpose of this post is not to start an arguement or turn this blog into a battlefield of words in which I'll respond to every 'accusation' thrown at me or any parts of my religion. However, I will try my best and respond whenever I can, for I do have a life and I don't want to turn this blog into an archive of arguements.

So mr/ms FYI, I hope that I made my points clear. I hope we can have a mutual understanding and respect towards each other and our beliefs. If hostility (in the form of words) is repeatedly expressed , trolling and flooding my tagboard or comments section without rationale, I will ignore them and won't respond to such things. I'm speaking in general here. I hope that the people who reads this blog understands that this is still my personal blog.

I have my beliefs and opinions, you have yours, if we can't come to a mutual agreement, we just have to agree to disagree and leave it at that, if not, the arguements will never end. Just my two cents.
