There’s Always A Beginning

I’ve written before in this blog, that I bought a guitar.. Well, I think it has been around 3-4 months since I have it. I didn’t stress my self on learning it.. I’m learning it when I have time, cuz I have to do other stuff too. Since then I learn my self how to play it, using the net, basic books that I bought and just remember some basic keys.. looking at youtube of how they actually strum it.. and I started looking for songs that I like that have guitar keys that I remembered

There it is my guitar.. a bit small than the usual ones, I dunno what type it is hehe

I memorize some of songs now, but still my quality of playing still sucks.. haha.. Let’s just hope I’ll keep on improving.. If I can, I actually wanted to take guitar lessons..but I don’t think I can for the moment.. cuz I’m not sure if what I learned myself is actually the correct way of playing haha.. I really do need someone who already know playing it.. for the time being, as long as I can hear the correct melody to the song, that’s enough for me

I’ve been collecting guitar chords of songs that I’m learning in Ms. One Note. I’ll start posting them from today..

Back in The Days of my 8th Grade

Yesterday, I woke up just before the break of the fast.. and heard someone singing a song that I used to like long long ago with his guitar.. Oasis – Stand by Me.
Yup, It reminds me of my 8th grade in EMS (English Modern School) back in Qatar. We used to sing this song in English class.. The teacher used to bring a CD player and we sing that song together.. and we had a listening test on it.. which we have to fill in the blank lyric.. It was very fun during those times.. No stress while learning.. I think it was a good way of improving our English in a fun way.. which is good..
There is also a time, when we read a a novel, which I still remember called Pride and Prejudice. While we read for several chapters, we then also watch the movie.. the old version.. not the one where there is Keira Knightley in it.. but the one when Mr. Darcy was still played by Colin Firth.. . To tell you the truth, I never watch the new version with Knightley in it.. cuz I think the old version is the original one.. and the new version is just modifying may be some acts or some drama in the actual movie.. Well, I don’t want to ruin my thoughts on the original one.. I liked it very much.. Anyway, in my 8th grade, everything was fun.. friends, teachers, class..
Now, as what I had thought long time ago.. is actually true. The more we grow up.. the more responsibilities.. and what we had in those time are slightly fading away.. the fun..friends.. everything. I think, that’s how life supposed to be.. and we can’t avoid it as an adult.

Oasis – Stand by me, is quite an old song. The first time I heard it was in 1999. Hmmm.. I looked for chord and still learning how to play it haha.. still a very bad guitar player :p

Here is the video clip..

Made a meal and threw it up on sunday,
I’ve, got a lot of things to learn,
Said I would and I’ll be leaving one day
Before my heart starts to burn.

So what’s the matter with you,
Sing me something new,
Don’t you know the cold and wind and rain don’t know,
They only seem to come and go, away.

Times are hard when things have got no meaning,
I’ve found a key upon the floor,
Maybe you and I will not believe in,
The things we find behind the door.

So what’s the matter with you,
Sing me something new,
Don’t you know the cold and wind and rain don’t know,
They only seem to come and go away.

Stand by me,
Nobody knows the way it’s gonna be,
Stand by me,
Nobody knows the way it’s gonna be,
Stand by me,
Nobody knows the way it’s gonna be,
Stand by me,
Nobody knows,
Yeah nobody knows,
The way it’s gonna be.

If your leaving will you take me with you,
I’m tired of talking on my phone,
There is one thing I can never give you,
My heart will never be your home,

So what’s the matter with you,
Sing me something new,
Don’t you know the cold and wind and rain don’t know,
They only seem to come and go, away.

Stand by me,
Nobody knows the way it’s gonna be,
Stand by me,
Nobody knows the way it’s gonna be,
Stand by me,
Nobody knows the way it’s gonna be,
Stand by me,
Nobody knows, yeah nobody knows,
The way it’s gonna be.
The way it’s gonna be, yeah.
Maybe I can see, yeah,
But don’t you know the cold and wind and rain don’t know
They only seem to come and go, away.

Stand by me,
Nobody knows the way it’s gonna be,
Stand by me,
Nobody knows the way it’s gonna be,
Stand by me,
Nobody knows the way it’s gonna be,
Stand by me,
Nobody knows,
Yeah God only knows,
The way it’s gonna be.

My belief in Dreams

In the last two days and today.. I dreamt about a lot of things.. but mostly are nightmares. The good one is kinda weird too, so I can’t really call it a sweet dream, as I also find it silly haha..

Well, the bad ones I can’t really tell here, because I believe that we should not tell people about our bad dreams. I believe if we tell people our dreams, then it might be come true… so I mostly tell people only the sweet ones. I believe too, that the bad dreams are actually coming from God to give us a warning about something and the good ones are telling us that something good will happen to us in the near future. Yes, I believe everydream have a meaning to it, except the silly ones that when you wake up, you forgot what you dream about.. It might just because you body or mind was tired before you sleep, so you dream in your sleep. Well, there is no prove or scientific explanation to it, it’s just my belief. And we can’t really interpret the meaning of dreams, they are one of God’s secrets.

In the last two days, I had a bad dream, that actually already happen. and that dream was actually happening twice. The first one was when the incident did not happen yet.. and now with a different version.. which happened about 4 months ago. May be I dreamt about it because I think about it everyday, feeling sad everytime I remember it. My another nightmare was a bit weird.. that happened in a school.. and is not definitely my school I have even been to, and no one in the dream I can recognize, except my mother. Well, when I woke up, It was very tiring cuz I had to run away feeling frightened from someone, and I had to pull my mother around so we could run away from him. There is one other night that I had, but I forgot what was it.. but I know I had another one,, hemm..

okay, the good dream was.. I was the best friend of Mariah Carey hahaha.. I don’t know where she comes from to get to my dream.. I do not listen to her songs lately, and I am not a big fan of her.. she just pops into my mind. Hem.. I forgot what happen in the dream.. we did something together but forgot about it.. hah..

And, there is this one bad dream that I think I should tell in this blog. It might be a warning to me and I think people should know it too, for those who believe that dream have a meaning, for those who don’t, then just read it for your own fun
I dreamt about hari kiamat (The end of the world) three times, and the last one is just recently. When, I woke up I felt really scared and I remember mostly everything that happen in the dream. I think, that the day is actually really near to us, and God warns me about it.. and I should pray to Him more, service to Him more.. to prepare for the day. I thank Allah for giving me such dreams, thanking Him for warning me through my sleep.. and I hope I’ll service him more so I can be ready when I am taken away from this world.

Alasan Kenapa Sebagian Makanan Itu Haram

Kita semua sebagai umat islam pasti udah tau yg mana makanan yg haram dan halal. Kita tau kalau yg haram itu pasti ada sebabnya.. seperti penyakit2 yg bisa kita dapati kalau memakannya. Allah memang maha mengetahui.. dah di bawah ada beberapa alasan ilmiah kenapa sebagian makanan itu tidak boleh di makan seperti babi, mengapa kita menyembelih hewan di leher.. Ini suatu pengetahuan yg baru buat ku.. mungkin yang lain2 juga ada yg belum tau mengapa kita melaukannya.. silahkan di baca

Bob: Tolong beritahu saya, mengapa seorang Muslim sangat mementingkan mengenai kata-kata “Halal” dan “Haram”; apa arti dari kata-kata tersebut?

Yunus: Apa-apa yang diperbolehkan diistilahkan sebagai Halal, dan apa-apa yang tak diperbolehkan diistilahkan sebagai Haram, dan Al-Qur’an lah yang menggambarkan perbedaan antara keduanya.

Bob: Dapatkah anda memberikan contoh?

Yunus: Ya, Islam telah melarang segala macam darah. Anda akan sependapat bahwa analisis kimia dari darah menunjukkan adanya kandungan yang tinggi dari uric acid (asam urat?), suatu senyawa kimia yang bisa berbahaya bagi kesehatan manusia.

Bob: Anda benar mengenai sifat beracun dari uric acid, dalam tubuh manusia, senyawa ini dikeluarkan sebagai kotoran, dan dalam kenyataannya kita diberitahu bahwa 98% dari uric acid dalam tubuh, dikeluarkan dari dalam darah oleh Ginjal, dan dibuang keluar tubuh melalui air seni.

Yunus: Sekarang saya rasa anda akan menghargai metode prosedur khusus dalam penyembelihan hewan dalam Islam.

Bob: Apa maksud anda?

Yunus: Begini… seorang penyembelih, selagi menyebut nama dari Yang Maha Kuasa, membuat irisan memotong urat nadi leher hewan, sembari membiarkan urat-urat dan organ-organ lainnya utuh.

Bob: Oh begitu… Dan hal ini menyebabkan kematian hewan karena kehabisan darah dari tubuh, bukannya karena cedera pada organ vitalnya.

Yunus: Ya, sebab jika organ-organ, misalnya jantung, hati, atau otak dirusak, hewan tersebut dapat meninggal seketika dan darahnya akan menggumpal dalam urat-uratnya dan akhirnya mencemari daging. Hal tersebut mengakibatkan daging hewan akan tercemar oleh uric acid, sehingga menjadikannya beracun; hanya pada masa kini lah, para ahli makanan baru menyadari akan hal ini.

Bob: Selanjutnya, selagi masih dalam topik makanan; Mengapa para Muslim melarang pengkonsumsian daging babi, atau ham, atau makanan lainnya yang terkait dengan babi?

Yunus: Lebih lanjut lagi, apakah anda tahu kalau babi tidak dapat disembelih di leher karena mereka tidak memiliki leher; sesuai dengan anatomi alamiahnya? Muslim beranggapan kalau babi memang harus disembelih dan layak bagi konsumsi manusia, tentu Sang Pencipta akan merancang hewan ini dengan memiliki leher.

Namun diluar itu semua, saya yakin anda tahu betul mengenai efek-efek berbahaya dari komsumsi babi, dalam bentuk apapun, baik itu pork chops, ham, atau bacon.

Bob: Ilmu kedokteran mengetahui bahwa ada resiko besar atas banyak macam penyakit. Babi diketahui sebagai inang dari banyak macam parasit dan penyakit berbahaya.

Yunus: Ya, dan diluar itu semua, sebagaimana kita membicarakan mengenai kandungan uric acid dalam darah, sangat penting untuk diperhatikan bahwa sistem biochemistry babi mengeluarkan hanya 2% dari seluruh kandungan uric acidnya, sedangkan 98% sisanya tersimpan dalam tubuhnya.

Mohon diteruskan kepada semua rekan Muslim dan Non-Muslim.. . Ini dapat menjawab sebagian pertanyaan mereka, khususnya kala non-Muslim bertanya mengapa ummat Islam tidak boleh mengkonsumsi babi.

Travelling to the Future

I downloaded an interesting video from youtube.. It tells about a man that had travel to the future and claim that he saw himself at 70 years old. He did not know what actually bring him to travel through time.. He knew that many people would not believe in his journey.. so he recorded the incident through his phone that he had brought in his pocket. It’s up to you to believe it or not.. even science can not really explain what actually happened. Here is the video..

My Sister’s Keeper

Okay.. This is another sad story that I read..
I’ll tell the whole story in here.. leaving out the details.. I recommend you all who like to read novels to pick this one up.. I think it’s really good story.. with a very sad ending (hikz…Hikzz..)

I’ll start from here..

There is this family, having two children, an older son, Jesse, and youngest daughter, Kate. But, their sorrowfulness started when Kate was 3 years old and was diagnosed with acute leukemia, which is a cancer of bone marrow or blood cells, which usually immediate treatment. Kate was predicted by Dr. Chance, the professional doctor in that area, to die by the age of 5. Her mother could not accept it and looking for any possible way in order to let her live. The parents were so focused on Kate that they forgot about their life. They start to forget to have fun, and became ignorant to Jesse as the mother think that her daughter needed her the most. Everything they do was always for Kate.
So, they had an idea to make a design baby that has Kate’s trait, so that the baby’s blood will be compatible to Kate and allows Kate continue to live. The mother did not even think about the future when she did it, even when she was 7 months pregnant, she did not even thinking about the baby’s name. And well, the baby was girl called Anna. The first day she was born, the mother give the baby to the doctor as soon as possible so he could take her blood to donate to Kate. As time goes, Anna grows older and older but she never stops donating her bodies part to Kate, from her blood, bone marrow, leukocytes, anything that Kate lack of. When Anna was young, the mother always tells her that it would not hurt her, and it is to help her sister, so indirectly it was like forcing her. And when Anna was hospitalized receiving pain from donating her body parts, the mother did not even accompany her.. she looked after Kate instead. Anna and Jesse felt so lonely as they grew older.. until when Anna turned 13 years old, and she shattered the family’s hope by hiring a lawyer to sue their parents for using her body. She refused to donate anything to Kate anymore. That time, Kate’s kidney was severely damaged and need replacement, and if not, she will die.
The mother, who left her career as lawyer, fight her way as a mother and lawyer to get Anna’s back and keep on saying that this matter was not serious and that Anna was only looking for attention. But, the mother was wrong, Anna never allow their parents to convince them anymore, even though it actually hurt her, by hurting their parents and even Kate, but she could not stand it anymore. Because of that, she was not allowed to sleep over her friends house, she was not allowed to take parts in sports, not allowed to go to a party as she was always needed by their parents in case Kate suddenly collapse and need her platelet. Because of this, Anna move out from her home and stay in her father workplace. Her father was a bit more understanding than her mother and he could see why Anna done that to them. He did not blame Anna for that, even though he was also thinking hard about Kate.
But, in the court, Anna refused to be testified by her lawyer. She never let people know what exactly made her do it. Until one day, she start to think that her mother have to know why she did it and agreed to be testified. So, she told the court that actually Kate herself that convince her to sue her parents and she thanked her for that. She did not want Anna to donate her kidney to her. She knew that eventually she will die too even if Anna donate her kidney and that will only hurt Anna in the future. If Anna get older and her kidney is not functioning well anymore, she would need another spare to save her, but it would not happen if Kate take it from her. She also was tired living like that and was ready to be taken away by God, only if her mother let her. The mother was so shocked to hear her statements and could not fight anymore. The judge finally let Anna to decide for herself, to make decision for her own body, and make decision for herself medically. And that was the end of the fight between them.
By the time, Kate was coma as her kidney was failing. Anna need to sign a paper with her lawyer to certify her medically for her body. But on their way, they had accident. The lawyer was safe but Anna gave a very weak pulse and did not responding to any treatment. By the time she gets to the hospital and helped by machine, the doctor said that her brain is already dead and only the machine that keeps her alive. The parents were so sad and they are the one that had to switch off the machine to let her go. The lawyer said to the doctor to donate her kidney to her sister Kate.
Well, Anna died.. Kate received her kidney and was able to live until 10 years later. She was healthier even though the leukemia was still there, and it all thanks to Anna. Anna died in her place..

Aku bingung gtu lho, kenapa coba anatomy itu mesti belajar gini gitu yg ribeeeeeeeeeettt skali.. trus aku juga ada rencana buat ngambil master biotechnology (masi rencana sih). Aku jadi makin ragu buat ngelanjutin course yg ini. Aku coba check2 subject2 yg akan di pelajari buat taun depan.. buat tamatin bachelor yg ini.

The Mummy: Tomb of The Dragon Emperor

This movie is just out in the cinema in 31st August in Malaysia. Fortunately, I am lucky enough to get a ticket with good seat hehe.. I had to sacrifice my long morning sleep and got up early so I could watch this.. well, it was worth it.

The movie was about a fierce emperor (Jet Li) in the ancient times who has ambition to rule the world and stop freedom. But he does not have the time as he grows older so he aims for eternity.. A witch (Michelle Yeoh) knew that it was not going to be good so she cursed him and all his army so they are stoned. After 200 years passed, a general wanted to wake him up from the curse so he could rule the world again and finish his unfinished business.
You can watch the trailer in official The Mummy site.

I think the movie was funny, had a lot of effects but it lack of action compared to its first and second movies. But overall, I still like it.. I like the actor, Brendan Fraser, the uncle, but the wife is this movie was different. I like the other one better.. prettier. Well, may be they had to change the wife character as the other one looks younger than the grown up son.
