keeping it to yourself

sometimes most of the time, you cannot and should not, express or reveal what you feel or think or dream.

even nice ones.

you may get into trouble.

syahid. ameen.

I'm listening to ungu.
Andai ku tahu.
Pasal ajal. pasal mati.

Makes me think about him, someone close to someone close to me, who just passed away. He met with an accident on his way back from the mosque, on the eve of Syawal and was unconscious for 2 days before he passed away.

He was amongst us, but his time, his journey in this world is over. And sooner or later, ours too.

My doa is that dia mati syahid. Ameen. Cause he came back from doing something GOOD. MasyaAllah.. he completed his deeds in Ramadhan, before his time was up.

Unlike some deaths that i've read about, yang pasal mabuk, or mati pasal gang fights or mati kena tembak lepas merompak. Nauzubillah.

May we die in a noble state, in iman. Ameen.

That's what i've been thinking about, on and off, in the last few days.

this raya...

..and of course.. we're not done visiting yet.

adat.


* that first pic tu actually is a 2nd try.
The first time, is when we arrived.
I tried to take pictures of the kids in the lift la.. skali just before the door close, 3 apeks got in.
The kids were already told to wave at the camera. So the kids did la.. then si apek2 ni.. wave balik kat diorang.
apa dah..

what's playing at mcd

Hari tu kan.. last Sunday.. we had to quickly go to McD because the food for sahur kat masjid, da habis. Maybe they didn't expect too many people to turn up.

Now guess what I heard playing on mcd's speakers..

I was hearing Quran recitations!

Apparently they had turned on to a local Malay station, which normally plays Quran recitations before azan for subuh..

Who would ever think that you'd hear the Quran playing at mcD?

Dear sirs and madams,

I would like to express how disturbed I am by the pictures of almost naked women, that you splashed over page 30 of the New Paper today, dated 6th October 2007.

I believe it is NOT APPROPRIATE for children to see. I haven't bought any kind of men's magazines, but I'm sure, those are exactly the kind of pictures that you would put in those magazines, which is restricted to children.

This is also not the first time, that the paper have shown inappropriate images over it's pages.

It's exactly because of this, that I feel uncomfortable, if my children were allowed to read the English papers. I don't feel safe, because I don't know what kind of inappropriate images my children will be exposed to.

Gone are the days, when we can simply encourage the children to read the English newspapers to improve their English.

I hope the paper will realise that they have a general audience which includes children as young as 7 years old. This paper is not rated. So kindly be more sensitive to what kind of images you want to show in your papers.

Continuing to show these kind of images, to me, means that the paper think that it is perfectly alright, for children to see these images. Or, the paper agrees that it requires parental guidance.

The paper's sensitivity and careful consideration is very much appreciated.
