Bukit Tabur, Climb 2

Image
This time we made it in 5 hours. Sixteen (16) of us. One person finished with torn pants, one with teared shoe sole, one with a bad throw-out, and a few with a few tumbling here and there. This climb we made a day before Hari Raya Aidil Adha. Still we met many climbers Malay and Chinese and a dog. This time round the weather was much cooler with a little drizzle as we started off at 8am. Personally, this time round the climb is much easier and the track maneuverable. Still the rope descend is troublesome - gotta get a grip on this one. Below pics show Aween on the rope descending down. Ayah Su ready to grab her just in case. Next, me and Azran giving instruction and moral support. While Azhar, posing for early victory to photograper Aizat at the other side of the cliff. Below not shown is Ikram guiding her footsteps. (Behind Azhar are some other climbers who have caught up with us managing the rope.) The climbers (the number of climbs): Ikram (7th), Azhar (5th), Aizat (4th), Baba (2nd...

Bukit Tabur, Gombak

Image
Our planned family trip to Jerantut over the 4 day weekend didn't turn out as it should. We left Kuantan Friday about 9am and reached Jerantut about eleven. It was drizzling as we set out. Not that it dampen our spirit for camping and fishing at Kg. Bukit Dinding, the cool morning made us more excited and eager to set camp. The weather was forecasted 60% chance of rain throughout the weekend. So the backup plan should we decide not to camp out was to head for KL. That was what we did as the Pahang river had risen high and there were noticable floods at low grounds besides the road. Next day we took up an offer to hike Bukit Tabur near Melawati and Ulu Klang Dam. Our nephew a regular to Bukit Tabur offered to take us up and we were up to it. Looking at pictures of the hill, we were skeptical of us managing it. But it was just too good of an opportunity to refuse. 11am we started our way up hill. Ikram estimated the hike would take us 4 hours. The trail started straight uphill and we...

Serunding Daging

Image
Yummy! Serunding daging is much like rendang but cook until dry. Not dry as in no gravy but dried until flaky. The meat is not cut cube as in cooking rendang. It is separated into tiny pieces. Serunding can be considered as a fast food. It can be a dish for lunch or dinner typically for the Malays. During the fasting month of Ramadhan AlMubarak, serunding is a favourite dish expecially for Sahur. This is because when eating sahur one's appetite differs from eating at normal meals. Not only had one restained from eating during day time, one also had to wake up from sleep in the wee hours of morning to eat sahur. Waking up for sahur, the body is still dizzy, the eyes is hard to adjust to light, and the throat is dry, and mostly the desire is to go back to sleep. The tasty serunding will open the appetite for a sufficient meal in preparation for the next day puasa. For Hari Raya, serunding is taken with ketupat, or used as filllings for ketupat palas In Kelantan, there are many famili...

Doa Malam Lailatul Qadar

The Virtues of the Night of Al-Qadr Author:'Abdullaah Ibn Saalih Al-Fawzaan Source:Ahaadeeth As-Siyaam (pg. 141-143) Abu Hurairah (raa) reported that the Messenger of Allaah (saws) said: "Whoever performs the night prayer on the night of Al-Qadr with Eemaan (firm belief) and seeking reward will have all his past sins forgiven." [1] This hadeeth is evidence for the virtue of the night of Al-Qadr as well as performing qiyaam (night prayer) during it. And it indicates that it is a grand night, which Allaah has honored and made better than a thousand months, with regard to its blessing and the blessings found in the righteous deeds that are performed in it. Thus it is better than the worship of a thousand months and that is equivalent to eighty-three years and four months. Due to thi...

I Love Malaysia

Image
Malaysia has passed the second half of the century after merdeka . At 50+1 years old, Merdeka Malaysian can be thankful for the peace and harmony we experience. Lee Chong Wei's "datuk"ship is indeed well earned. He represents the vibrant and energetic Malaysia is today. The TV ad about a young man wanting to buy half a teh tarik from a mamak is so cute. It's not only cute, the ad is a sneak preview of our beautiful mix culture. Mix believe, mix language and alamak my post is getting too long already. Love you Malaysia , may we prosper in peace and harmony.

Legal Fee

Feels like being ripped off for the second time from the same event. I was unfairly dismissed from my job, twice terminated the case ended up at the industrial court . The result is of course I won. But somehow the term where the award money is to be paid to the lawyer becomes and issue to me now. It's best to forget, but I'd like to learn from mistake. Was it a mistake to accept that term and not paid directly to claimant? At that time I didn't think that much cause that's the kind of thing the lawyer would decide that's best for his/her client. In this case, maybe it was for the best of the lawyer. Anyway, the money went to the lawyer - at the end of the term. Good. Then after a long wait from the lawyer, i was informed that the lawyer's fee is a staggering amount of RM35000 to be deducted from the award!! And I had to fight for the case the whole way. All the lawyer did was write up a few documents. And they have the cheek to bill me 35k. During the course of...

I had a dream of that animal during my afternoon nap today. He was bed ridden for high fever. ... I went to the plant and wanted to go look at the lines. I ask the engineer for PPEs. Thought of first asking plant manager's permission to enter the lines. Knocked his door. Opened the door. There he was in bed! (?) He smiled, tried to get up, he had lost a lot of weight. His skin is flapping behind him as he tried to sit up. "Saya demam lah. Kena makan ubat. Ubat pun kena makan, ludah dulu kemudian telan balik." Uuggghh. Disgusting. Disgusting creature he is. ... I woke up feeling very dizzy. Pulled myself together to go pick up Ilham from school.

I was in the navy ( Malay Section of the British Royal Navy ). We sailed in HMS Scorpion ( ABDUL RAHMAN B.Y. A.B. MN 713 (Malay Section) SCORPION ) and sailed the South China Sea to the Borneo and surrounding areas. I was handling the telegraph machine, that was my job. It was the during the World War II. ( The Japanese started to raid South East Asia December 1941 thru Songkla and Patani Siam, then Thailand, followed by Malaya thru Kota Bharu. From January to February 1942, heavy war between the Japanese and British over Singapore resulting in the British surrender. ) Then our ship was bombed by the Japanese . That caused a large hole on the ship and ship began to capsize. I was with two other ship personnel - Chinese. They were cooks. We jumped ship, and swam. ( 13/02/42 M.P.K. SHIP LOSS ) Then we made it into a sampan and got away . We made it to Padang of Sumatera. Then the Japanese found us and we were captured. ( True account of HMS Scorpion is that it was attacked by Japanes...

In Memory of ....

She passed away 28th July 2008 10pm at 57 after fighting leukemia for more than one year. Innalillah wainna ilaihi rajiun. That would be my late sister Zunaida Zulkifli. A strong woman indeed. We arrived at the hospital earlier the afternoon at about 2pm. Sis Jima, Jiha, Kak Asiah, AbaChit, Ana, and Shazlan were there. The sight of her poor condition face was sorrowful. We all greeted each other before I proceeded to close upon arwah. Her eyes was closed shut, her face was spotted with broken blood vessels and she had a O2 tube going into her mouth and plasters were all over her face and head. On top of that, many smaller tubes with antibiotics, pain killer etc from syringe pumps surrounded her. BP and pulse machines were there too. So was a life supporting equipment. She had been laying there under sedative since Sunday.

Islam Question and Answer - Does donating blood invalidate wudoo’?

Does donating blood invalidate wudoo’? Can a muslim donate blood, and if so can he read salaah straight after donating blood? Praise be to Allaah. If it is necessary to carry out a blood transfusion, there is no sin on the patient, the doctors or the donor, because of the following: Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “… and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind…” [al-Maa’idah 5:32] . (Melayu) . This aayah indicates the virtue of being the cause of saving the life of someone whom it is forbidden to kill, and there is no doubt that the doctors and blood donors are among the causes of saving the life of patients who are at risk of dying if a blood transfusion is not carried out. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “He has forbidden you only the dead animals, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and that which is slaughtered as a sacrifice ...

Blood Stem Cell Transplants - National Cancer Institute

Image
Preparing Donors for Allogeneic Transplants Blood stem cells are extracted most often from the peripheral blood of donors and occasionally from their bone marrow. Because there are significantly fewer stem cells in peripheral blood than in bone marrow, doctors prepare peripheral blood donors by injecting them with a series of growth factors to move blood stem cells from their marrow into their bloodstream. This increases the blood stem cells concentration 10- to 100-fold in the blood. If stem cells are harvested from bone marrow, the donor is placed under general anesthesia. In a procedure that takes about an hour, marrow is removed through a large needle inserted into the donor's pelvic bones, and it is processed to remove blood and bone fragments. After the collection is completed, the donor may be given a transfusion of his or her own red blood cells from units of blood that were self-donated a week earlier.

Michael Rasmussen's "Mini Site Profits Exposed" Video Series: How To Create A Mini Site That Runs On Autopilot And Makes You Money While You Sleep!

Most Internet marketers understand that having mini sites is the fastest and easiest way to make money online. They don't require a lot of time, energy, or money to set up, and once you've got one up and running, you can sit back and just collect money from all the sales you're making. At least... that's how it's supposed to be, right? The truth is that mini sites really ARE easy to set up. They really DON'T require much time, energy, and money to set up. So why is it that so few people actually make money with their mini sites? The answer is that they never learned how to actually turn their mini site into a profitable moneymaker that runs completely on autopilot. The good news is... ************************************************* YOU'RE ABOUT TO LEARN HOW TO DO IT! ************************************************* Here's what this is all about: My colleague Michael Rasmussen has just released a brand new video course that will walk ...

Blogging Power

I learnt about blogging during those early months of unemployment. I was forced to resign from my job May 2006 with 10 years of service. I don't know why they have to do it by this crooked way but we will hear their reasons this coming case hearing June 11 in Court 20 Kuantan. When I first started this blog back then I wanted to write this sad experience of unfair dismissal, and victimization. But I didn't have the heart. So I started to post light stuffs. Even the layout was colorful. Now I will try to share what had happen and what will happen .. my mission to stand up for my rights as a citizen of this the democratic country Malaysia. So my blogsite has a new face.

Latest Personal Achievement

Chinese New Year long weekend, selalunya balik kampung Gombak ata u Wakaf Bharu, tapi nak jimat kami bercuti sekeluarga di Beserah sahaja. I followed thru my ambition of bringing SMK Beserah netball team to champion the MSSM Kuantan Netball competition. Pagi raya china I joined their morning training session. Even my husband chipped in with some physical fitness routine. The girls loved and enjoyed the session. The team tak la h strong sangat with some of the girls not serious about competition. Cuma nak thrill sikit-sikit bermain bola. That actually crippled the intention of winning the competition. My daughter was the key player. Her teacher only agreed to take on the netball team just because she is in the team. I sensed the problem the team would have and hated the thought of wasted energy and hope of the girls in successful participation in the tournament. So, turun padanglah saya in between hantar dan ambik the boys (my other children) to and from school. I tak ajar banyak techn...
