On my last post, I was trying to use flock to post a writing to this blog, which is done successfully (and beautifully, even though I still couldn't post a picture using its web clipboard. To tell you the truth, I was always using my firefox (version 2) to writing my post. Not because I hate Safari, but when it comes to blog posting in Wordpress, it sucks.And then yesterday the Apple have upgraded their safari to version 3.1, now I'm trying to use safari to blog posting, and will see the outcome as soon as I finished writing this. Thumbnail above is how the posting should appear in my blog, I'll update you guys how it appear actually in my blog.Update: This is what actually what's coming out
A trial
Now, I'm trying to use flock to post my blog posting, which is seems pretty awesome but let's just see how's the results going to be shown on the blog. For you guys who have no idea what flock is, it is actually a new free web browser, which is aimed and made specifically for the web 2.0 world. It is provided with a side bar which contain all the social networking (facebook, filckr, youtube, twitter) as well as media sharing, blogging and online bookmarking site which is generally almost all those you need to kill time.
why is it cool? aside you could post up blog directly from your browser (you don't need to go your site), you could check facebook without also going to the site, it is also functioning as a great normal web browser because it is powered by mozilla (see the thumbnail).
So if you guys a new web browser directly use for your web 2.0 life, you could get flock here and found all the information there as well.
Cheers!

Support the system shall we?
As much as my own annoyance at the system, for it's sometimes confusing, complex, and repetitive. I still feel there's a need to support it, which could be done by improving the factor that is most likely to cause error in the system itself. the human factor. A system in for collecting print jobs in Monash University Malaysia, which I view as a solution for creating order (one person could only take his/her print job and not others) and for the helping of environment (If one person get the print that he/she needed than there is no need to print another set of copies thus it does not waste the paper)has been failed considerably.
As the new semester kicks in the number of students increased considerably and many still don't know how to collect the printing account (shown by many papers which are not collected by them at the end of the day), in which the explanation could be the information is not clear enough, or they are just plain ignorant (in which I hope they would change).
In the end, this is just a very small example in my life, there are larger problems in the world right now. I just hoped that, we all could support the system that is good, criticize ones that is had flaws, and taking the words of Mahatma Gandhi "be the change that you want to see in the world".

A contrary, an anomaly
Forgive me if I'm often contrary, especially at festival like today. When all others are seated. I get up.
When others rise and clap. I sit.
When others in lively discussion. I sleep.
When others set pigeon free. I scatter paddy.
Others have attained independence. Not me.
Forgive me if I'm often contrary. I do it only to remind.

Phase out
I'm now at KLIA waiting for my flight at 16.00, and when I step my foot inside it, It's the last stage of this phase of life. My life had been divided by phases, which is essentially the period I spend in the community, not only schools but also my life with the people around me. This time another phase would be ended. When there is an end, it ended just like that, and I will begin a new one, with a new spirits and hopes but this time it's different. I don't want it to end.
And I can state many reasons why I did not want it to end, because I fall in love with the most amazing woman, because I love it here, because of I like it to pursue my academic, and simply because I don't want it to end and I don't want to lose anything from here, especially her.
Why is it like this? last time I was free from it all, and I don't want to attach myself if I want to. But now I have attached myself to it, and I don't want to let go. Call me a fool but a fool is all I wanted to be right now and forever.

He has never written the end, He simply follow it
Well it's had been a long time since I write a post (a real post that is, not just a ramblings). In this few days, I have experienced many goodbyes; one from my loved one (miss you so much tang), another from my friends that are going to pursue their studies (best o'luck down there, mates) and from many others that I couldn't see. Anyway let me tell you the story of a fool who wanted the best for everyone, someone who could think that he could giving happiness to those that he cared. He thought he could control it while walking the path and following the end that everybody has written for him, had they know him, comedic ends are ones he wanted to fill the photo-book, as tragedies are only enjoyable in loneliness. What could he do to the ends that he never writes though? letting his voice out would only bring awkwardness, as silence would only bring sequels.
He could only wait, for a time that hopefully would come, that they would realize it with the every senses they had, that it had been tormenting and aching to silently scream. That time would probably come, as he was written his own end surrounded by them, still a paradox he should be, he ironically never wanted comedy for his ultimate ends.
It's only a fiction, and yet I wanted you by my side always when I had my end tang, thanks for everything, and sorry if I always make you disappointed. I love you.
Cheers

And another year almost passed
2007 had been very kind to me, in a way that I perceive it. A lot had been happened including in it is my desire to write and creating a blog, as well as my birthday which I can proudly say that I'm legally adult age-wise, but still trying to become more and more mature but at least I can say that I have new perceptions of how life should be, and I'll make those perceptions to become my principles, my guides in many time to come. 2007 is not all just about me, other people perceptions and the world and universe too have evolved become older and hopefully meeting our expectations.I really haven't make any resolutions for 2008, but I think I'll make a few, which is really unlikely for me. Last time it's only hopes that the next year would be better than this, now I wanted new things, I want to graduate from my university and go have a job somewhere, these two are my goals that have to be attained in 2008. Other stuff? I'm still planning it but I wanted to travel somewhere preferably alone, or do some social working, there should be time where we have to reach the community I believe.
In the end I would like to thank God for His eternal blessing, for His forgiveness, for Him I could breath and do my work everyday, as well as everybody that have been supporting me all this year mom dad, my sister, my big family, my significant other and my friends which although I won't be able to meet again with you or I haven't seen you for a long time, trust me we'll get back again under the same sky, breath the same air, and reminisce the old days.
Cheers, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Have They Lost Their Minds?
On my last post I have said things regarding people that have been blinded, by not using their logic which is freely given to us as human, and yet the biggest proof is here:
"A UK schoolteacher who taught English in Sudan was detained, put into jail and get punishment just because allowing her student to give the name Muhammad to teddy bears."
more about the news could be read here.
However even though the court in Sudan had already given the verdict that she is guilty because of insulting religion, give her 15 days in the jail and then deporting her back to UK, some people still think that the punishment is too lenient and ask for death penalty.
Now, here's the thing; not only this is ridiculous, it is also shown how people did not use their minds therefore making them easily stirred by their emotions, which fueled by the sentiments over the western worlds.
Sadly this could be found not only in Sudan but also in various part of the world.Giving the jail punishment, no detaining Gillian Gibbons to the court itself is already considered an action blow out of a proportion, now they are asking for a death penalty? The ones that given the name were the children! and majority of them give Muhammad as the name of their teddy bears, and none of them ever think that they naming the bear after the prophet Muhammad SAW (Peace Be Upon Him).
So why is this still taken out of proportion? does the sentiment against the western world had already culminating because of Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq? and does the top clerics in Sudan had already lost their minds and senses? had they lost their logic?
In my life, as a Muslim, I have been taught not to be jahil (Arabic for ignorant), to learn and gaining various knowledge in pursuit of education and also things needed in this life. Still now, I can't understand what have gone wrong in their pursuit of knowledge so that they could easily judge a teacher guilty for a mistake she does not even intent to do.
In an update, there is a hope that Gillian Gibbons would be pardoned by the president of Sudan, let's just hope that she will be able to taste the freedom again and this problem would not used by to incite hatred.
Justice for Gillian Gibbons, Cheers!

Update: Gillian Gibbons had been pardoned by Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir , and on her way to be back in UK. It had provided great relief for me that there is no reaction against this decision, and how Muslim and Non-Muslim had been agreed that the punishment against her was unnecessary.
Eaten Logic
Tragedies of humans will always started by not using their greatest treasure of all. The logic were given and rationale were gratis from God, and yet they failed.
Even though history repeated itself and art imitates life, still tragedies befall them.
Because they never learn, and so does people before them, and their children after them.
Their heart all fall blind, leaving them naked and yet still they would stood in the mud of pride.

The heart sees what it wanted to feel
Sometimes it's just what makes us suffer, and yet we keep continue to stay on that path, because change is far more frightening than the reality we faced. Therefore there's a need of blessing of understanding and patience on them, because without it, we will live in a place where men suffer while others feel nothing about it.
And about their tragic view on us too, easy for they make judgement, alas we do not do things they accused us.

A place where it all began
I have just finished unpacking my stuff in my home, that I have left for 8 months now. many have changed here but still one thing remain the same, my allergy against something, was it dust, the mites, the air or anything else that attack me. Somehow, the my presence here did not evoke any of my senses nor did they wake my memories about certain things that have happened here. Was it due to the fact that I was preoccupied with something else or I had been through the phases of this, I’m not to sure either.
Well anyhow accompanied by the mosquitoes and the allergens, my holiday here is began, at my home, a place where it all began.
Cheers

Tonight I'm going south
Wish all is well and fine
If this is a taste of freedom
then I must have lost my senses
Happy birthday to you mum
The holder of my blood. The holder of my flesh.
The holder of everything I own from this world.
The most important person in life and yet, here I am causing you pain.
Forgiveness I beg, along with your acceptance of me.
Happy birthday to you, wishing you all the best of the world can offers.
Today I See
An act of stupidity combined with self fulfilled ignorance fueled with arrogance. And I wonder, where has humanity been?
Have it not waken up by the reality? in which it does not only bite but also bark
Have it still lost its way in the dark? fooled by many, tempted by others?
Today I see this, and many more on the days to come. Cheers ---------------- Now playing: Spoon - You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb
