Faiz Shukri’s Neighborhood

Biar apapun pandangan penyokong yang mempamerkan sikap dan tingkah laku yang amat 'mengembang'kan (dalam istilah kelantan = menjijikkkan) ketika perlawanan akhir Kelantan vs N.Sembilan, Pasukan Kelantan patut berbangga kerana telah sampai ke tahap ini dalam 39 tahun. Kegagalan dilangkah akhir bukan  bererti kekalahan tetapi hanya dugaan menguji ketahanan mental dan kekuatan budi pemian dan penyokong. Ternyata kelantan GAGAL pada kacamata ini.

Tingkah laku membakar bendera semasa perlawanan sedang rancak berjalan, membaling objek-objek ke padang, membaling bom asap dan paling tidak dapat di terima adalah membakar kerusi-kerusi di dalam stadium ketika perlawana masih rancak berjalan menggambarkan betapa rakyat Kelantan sebenarnya RAPUH di dalam dan bukan kental sebagaimana yang disangkakan, walaupun negeri ini diterajui oleh seorang Tok Guru yang disegani di kalangan PAS mahupun UMNO.. pendeknya semua rakyat Kelantan termasuk dari keturunan lain..

Penyokong-penyokong ini patut faham bahawa mereka adalah peyumbang kepada kegagaan Pasukan Kelantan. Keyakinan yang tidak realistik dan melampau seolah-olah di alam mimpi oleh penyokong-penyokong memberikan tekanan hebat kepada pemain.. apatah lagi bermain di Stadium Bukit Jalil dengan 85,000 penononton, 2/3 adalah penyokong Kelantan. Janji-janji habuan dan ganjaran, termasuk pemberian iktiraf awal kepada Indra Putra dan menjadikannya kapten pada perlawanan akhir seolah menidakkan The Wonder Workers iaitu pemain-pemain lain yang telah bangun dari dalam lumpur dan bercawat kote bagi menggengam peluang ini seolah ditidakkan. Perlu diingat bahawa Indra Putra tidak bermain semasa Kelantan membelasah Perlis 3-1 di Indra Kayangan. Mengapa ditidakkan usaha pemain-pemain lain di peringkat akhir di mana amat perlu maintain kekuatan psikologi pemain-pemain?? Tekanan psikologi begini di saat akhir amat tidak baik..

Penyokong juga patut sedar bahawa untuk sampai ke Bukit Jalil, berapa banyak wang sudah dihabiskan dengan menaiki kenderaan awam atau sendiri, penginapan, kos tiket Rm20 dewasa.. Amatlah wajar terus memberikan sokongan di kala pemain-pemain memerlukan sokongan psikologi dan bukan hanya ketika pemain sedang cemerlang di padang.. Jika nak berkelakuan begini baik tengok di TV sahaja.. Kalau marah sangat boleh baling objek atau bom kat TV sendiri, tak ada orang yang marah kecuali isteri dan anak2 yang tidak dapat menonton TV lagi.

Perlu diingat bahawa pasukan lawan juga telah melepasi halangan-halangan untuk sampai ke situ. Mereka juga ada kekuatan yang tersendiri. Bagi penyokong, ketibaan ke Bukit Jalil adalah seolah-olah sudah memenangi Piala dan sudah tidak sabar hendak melihat piala dijulang.. Baik beli piada kat Rex Trading dan julang sesama sendiri.. Berulang kali tingkah laku penyokong kelantan merugikan Kelab sehingga wang yang sepatutnya digunakan untuk latihan dan insentif terpaksa diguna untuk bayar kompaun.. 

Paling memalukan ialah tingkah laku penyokong berlaku di hadapan Pemangku Raja; Tengku Faris Petra, Dato Mustapa, Tg Ahmad Rithauddeen, Dato Awang Adib,Dato' Annuar Musa dan lain-lain yang datang memberikan sokongan moral kepada Pasukan Kelantan.. Jurang tingkah laku amat ketara.. dari pemimpin yang berwibawa, Tok Guru, Pengurus-pengurus Korporat yang besae spt Dato' Nazmi Salleh dan yang grass root yang seolah-olah masih lagi berada sebelum Zaman Jepun..

Apapun satelah ramai dari penyokong-penyokong meninggalkan stadium dan Kelantan down 3-0, barulah nampak kelantan mencapai rentak mereka sebelum ini. Serangan-serangan di sebalah kanan sentiasa merbahaya dan banyak peluang diperolehi. Ianya digagalkan oleh barisan pertahanan N9 yang kental. Ahmad Shukor tonggak yang menggagalkan serangan balas Kelantan. Ddari sini kita tahu bahawa Kelantan selesa sebagai UNDER DOG dan tidak sebagai pasuikan harapan. Hanya satelah jatuh 3-0, dan nampak tiada harapan lagi barulah SEMANGAT KELANTAN SEBENAR muncul; semangat yang boleh melakukan apa sahaja.. sampai Cawat Kote..Sepakan cantik free-kick Indra Putra dengan planning yang amat baik menggambarkan seolah-olah pemain kebangsaan Brazil yang beraksi.. memberikan pengubat kepada luka kelantan. Jika 3-0, ianya amat pedih sekali.. Apapaun SYABAS PASUKAN KELANTAN..

Di dalam perkhidmatan Kerajaan sekarang, ini adalah proses yang perlu dilalui oleh setiap pegawai, meniti tangga-tangga yang tersusun dari TK1 hingga TK6. Selepas TK6 faktor lain yang diambilkira untuk kenaikan pangkat ke peringkat tertinggi di dalam perkhidmatan Kerajaan.

Walaupun banyak bantahan dari kakitangan-kakitangan dengan pelbagai sebab dan alasan, saya berpendapat bahawa PTK ini amat penting sebagai 'yard stick' bagi menilai tahap kecekapan pegawai selaras dengan tangga tanggungjawab yang dipikul di dalam perkhidmatan. Ada yang menyatakan bahawa dia telah menjalankan tugas-tugas yang terlaksana dan menjadi pakar rujuk jabatan pulak di atas bidang tersebut dan siapa orang yang akan menilainya yang telah mencapai tahap berikut.. Ini adalah ego yang telah menjerumuskan Iblis ke kancah kebinasaan. Jika anda telah terbukti pakar, mengapa takut atau enggan untuk di nilai? Sudah tentu anda tidak ada masalah untuk lulus cemerlang... Silibus dan tahap kecekapan yang dikehendaki adalah mengikut ketetapan Jabatan anda sendiri..

Alhamdulillah saya telah melepasi 5 tahap dan sekarang berada di tahap 6. Semalam saya telah menghadiri Taklimat PTK 6. Sekarang ini silibus dibahagikan kepada 2; generik dan functional. Generik merujuk kepada kemahiran asas dan ini dinilai melalui `public speaking', kerja kumpulan (75% markah) dan penilaian personaliti. Fungsional merujuk kepada kemahiran di dalam tugasan dan ini dinilai melalui kertas tugasan individu, penilaian pengurusan kerja (SKT) dan kini diadakan Kertas Renungan, iaitu kemampuan pegawai menilai dan membuat keputusan di atas sesuatu perkara dalam jangka masa singkat.

Selepas ini kami diberikan masa 1 minggu untk persediaan, penyiapan Tugasan Individu dan Pengurusan Kerja. Kemudian kami akan berkampung di satu Hotel di Subang Jaya selama 5 hari untuk mengharungi Penilaian yang akan dilaksanakan oleh Panel 3 orang yang hebat-hebat (Kalau dah Jusa C ke atas tentulah hebat...).

Sekarang ini dengan kerja-kerja yang sedang dalam fasa kritikal pembinaan, kerja tambahan untuk projek lama selama 2 hari, appointment di Hospital, saya perlu menyediakan semua itu..

The future looks bleak... but... I'll survive, InsyaAllah I will... Pray for me brothers and friends...

Islam has always emphasis on the importance of knowledge. Even the first surah revealed called, "Read! in the name of God who created[Al-Alaq, 96:1] And in one of the hadith it was related on the authority of Abu Hurairah, radiyallahu 'anhu, that the Prophet, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, said:
"Whosoever relieves from a believer some grief pertaining to this world, Allah will relieve from him some grief pertaining to the Hereafter. Whosoever alleviates the difficulties of a needy person who cannot pay his debt, Allah will alleviate his difficulties in both this world and the Hereafter. Whosoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults in this world and the Hereafter. Allah will aid a servant (of His) so long as the servant aids his brother. Whosoever follows a path to seek knowledge therein, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise. No people gather together in one of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying it among themselves, except that tranquility descends upon them, mercy covers them, the angels surround them, and Allah makes mention of them amongst those who are in His presence. Whosoever is slowed down by his deeds will not be hastened forward by his lineage."

Hence in conjunction with the coming exam, lets pull out the energy and study for the sake of Him and ONLY HIM (ya Allah mudahkanlah segala urusan hamba-Mu yang lemah lagi serba hina ini) And following sunnah by abiding the hadith mentioned, insya ALlah, the reward is by the effort put, so lets work it in.

Liza, I shall try to respond to your request for book review on this particular book but where to start really? This book is already titled 'brief' and his brevity from Chapter 1 to Conclusion Chapter is 191 pages!!! I have finished up to Chapter 3 which is based on Newtonian physics and Einstein's Relativity Theory. That itself is already mind boggling. Next he's moving on to QUANTUM MECHANICS which to many is like reading an alien language.. So Liza, why give me such torturous assignment.. Why? Why? Why?? Anyway, I'll try my darnest and please understand that you need to read the book itself to understand fully as Prof Hawkings start from the very basic understanding of Universe and develop his story along the historical line to the present state of understanding.

Chapter 1 starts with Our Picture of The Universe, followed by Space and Time in Chapter 2 and The Expanding Universe in Chapter 3. Here the picture of the Universe developed is basing on two great theorems; Newtons's Laws of Motion and Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. I will not dwell on the pre Newton's views though elaborated by Prof Hawkings.

The basic question asked is whether the universe in unchanging, hence time has no beginning and end or changing and beginning at a definite point; the beginning of time. Our picture of the universe is described by 2 partial theories; Newtonian Physics and Einstein's Relativity Theory and The Quantum Mechanics. The former is applicable in the large scale world but breaks down upon reaching the sub-atomic domains in scale of a millionth of a millionth of an inch where Quantum Mechanics take over. Hawking try to assimilate both into a single unified theory that could explain everything.

Gravity is central to the concept. Newton breaks the ages old concept of static universe by saying that matter is in static state of rest or moving at constant speed unless acted upon by external force. This is very significant because such understanding shows that all laws of science is as applicable to a static person as per moving person; eg on a moving train. To the person in a moving train, a ball thrown upward would fall down in the same straight up-down path similiar to when he is on the static ground. However to a person on the train station looking at the train, the ball seems to move in a parabolic arch from when the other person throw the ball upward to when the the ball falls down some distance away as travelled by the train in that time. Hence the notion of an absolute position in space is dispelled with. However Newton still belief in absolute time.

Newton's discovery of gravity is central to understanding universe. The planets orbit around the sun by gravitational force. Gravitational force is proportional to matter's mass. As a planet moves, the gravity would pull it back, hence its path curves inward to form an orbit of ellipsical path. This understanding enables us to predict the path of orbiting objects in space quite accurately. However observations show that not everything obey Newton's laws, hence there must error in this understanding.

Then comes Einstein. This guy abandon the concept of absolute time and put forth the General Theory of Relativity in which space and time is relative to the observers at different state of speed; hence each observer has his own time and space. A person travelling nearing the speed of light would come back younger than the other person on earth. This is because the traveller carries his own time which is more elongated, eventhough they age at the same rate. However the speed of light is constant irrespective of the speed of the observers. The speed of light becomes the barrier that cannot be passed by any matter, explained by his famous Equation E = mc2. As mass increases, so too the energy needed to increase its speed. As mass approaches speed of light, the amount of energy needed to increase the speed further approaches infinity which is not possible. As such the speed of light will never be exceeded.

Einstein also claimed that gravity is a very special kind of force created by the space-time warp. Space-time warped in proximity to heavy mass. Hence near celestial bodies, the space-time warp in curved shape. Bodies moving in the space-time warp still follow a straightline path but it is in the curved space called geodesic which is the shortest or longest path between 2 nearby points. Following the geodesic, the body appears to move in orbit as if by a force named gravity.

The next great finding of the 20th Century is that the Universe is expanding. Hubble's work on measuring the size and distance of distance galaxies by measuring the brightness of the stars lead to the finding that the spectra emitted by distance stars were quite uniformly shifted towards the red end of the spectra. Using Doppler Effect, this translate to the finding that the universe is expanding, the further away the faster it is expanding. Modern telescopes confirm Hubble's finding and detected 100,000 millions galaxies each containing 100,000 million stars slowly rotating.

Friedmann, 1922 proposes 3 models of the expansion; a) Expand and retract back under gravity  b) Expand faster than critical speed so gravity no able to pull it back, hence continues at constant speed  c) Expand just above critical speed and constantly reducing rate afterward. From this comes the idea of The Big Bang as the start of the Universe. At Big Bang, the size of Universe is infinitely small and mass infinitely high. This start/beginning is called Singularity. However there is still dispute as to whether singularity is a 'could have happen' or 'must have happen' phenomena. Various possibilities were proposed to avoid the conclusion of singularity which speaks of divine intervention. However they all fall short and at last Penrose discovery on blackholes in 1965 lead to confirmation by Penrose-Hawkings Study in 1970 that The Universe Must Start at Singularity.

However, all science theories are based on assumption that space-time that is smooth and almost flat. At Big Bang, the curvature of Space-Time must approach infinity because of the infinitely small and infinitely heavy mass of the founding universe. Hence all science theories must break down at Singularity (Big Bang). This follows that TIME MUST BEGIN at Singularity whence the laws of science start to form....

Next Chapter will be on Quantum Mechanics..

Do you stil remember what would you say when the teacher ask, "what is your ambition?" How do you see yourself in 20 years time?" And most of us would reply, "doctor" Bomba, teacher, and not to be neglect is policeman. And that moment I just couldnt understand, why would they want to be police and bomba. Huhu but i guess, a samart uniform they put does have a big role. After all, kids are easily influenced by visualisation, better it be in terms of color and shape. I am also fallen in the same category, I used to admire doctor as I fallen in love by their smart, white coat and of course with the 24/7 stetoscope around their neck. I view it as a really educated person. Then only I develelop my patient in become one. But that is the initial point.

i call it quit

we all need to start fresh, along the way somehow.

I was reading Quran after Zuhur, on Surah Yunus, the 10th surah in Quran and I am on the last verse before I go for Surah Hud. And the 3rd last verses really caught my eyes, He says:

And [know that] if God should touch thee with misfortune, there is none who could remove it save Him; and if He intends good for thee, there is none who could turn away His bounty: He causes it to alight upon whomsoever He wills of His servants. And He alone is truly forgiving, truly a dispenser of grace. (107)

There are two types of smile

1. when human in situation where they think I wamt to smile, the brain frontal cortex which deal with emotion takes delicate control over 50 or more of facial mussles to create a natural smile
2. If you force yourself to smile, the locomotor center send the order "SMILE" to control the muscle. and since forcing action is a base action, the smile always end up loking awkward.
   

that is the only two major types I found in Mr Brain (EP7). It is true though, even you could feel how awkward yoour smile is and people could detect it from your eye. Hence the most beautiful smile is a smile that coming sincerely from your heart and it is reflected trough your whole face. Quite hard is it? But be Happy and it will automatically appear in your eyes.
Ogh and one more thing, when our ancestor, primates, felt something is approaching them in the jungle, they would always assume that it was an enemy and act defensively. Then in the moment they met, they would bare their fangs and punce. If they realized it wasnt an enemy, they would halt their pounce but they wouldnt have time to cover their fangs. Since leaving that would be bad, in order to show they werent hostile, they would smile. And this is the original form of smile.

I am exhausted already. Cant think of anything and my mind just got cramp.. hehheh sounds terrible right?just being sarcastic, never believe if I said that. I always think that we should never complain since it will only demotivate us and the most important thing is, we will never be tested by our Creator with the thing we are not able to face. So cheer up, there must be a solution to everything occur. But on the other hand, we should let it out rather than being keep inside, or it will explode <to be avoided> if that state arise, human just get frustrated and will need some space to relax. So doi it on your own pace. Pause when you need and play it again, rewind a bit if you think you are lost. The remote control is in our hand so we decide it. But the most important in decision making, put Allah and Rasul on priority. Than others follow. may Allah be in every decission we make.
Actually I just finished watching a Japanese (cant believe I did so at this high peak moment, but i just DID) it is an interesting drama. Japanese version of Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) starring a famous actor, Kimura TAakuya who is a neuroscience. This drama is like a magnet that keep on attracting me, main reason because it is similar to CSI, but of cause it is far behind since this might be only the first baby step of this genre drama. But it is not bad, I am still able to learn many new things=D
But the thig I wuld like to share today is a game called Shitori. A game that could refresh your mind after a hectic moment of working you experience. SO why dont you gather a few frends to play this. It will stimulate your mind again. It work this way,

1.  Begin with a word, say Bottle
   
2. Than the second person begin with any word begin with term Tol, say Tolerate
   
3. And it follow this way
4. This game will end when the person cant get anyword to continue

Pretty nice right. I believe many of us had heard about this game, but maybe this just another name in Japan. It will get mind reactivate.

Perkataan couple kini tidak asing lagi dikalangan anak muda masa kini. Terlalu normal hingga mereka yang dont have any dipandang sinis. Budaya ini telah meresap masuk perlahan-lahan melalui pelbagai cara.

Baik dari media visual, audio mahupun pembacaan. Rata-riti menunjukkan gambar dan tips-tips bagaimana mencari pasangan yang terbaik, bagaimana menegtahui pasangan anda, indahnya perasaan dilamun cinta dan sebagainya. Dan memandangkan yang dipamerkan indah, jadi kenapa kita tak cuba? so they thought. Tapi benarkah ini semua? Adakah betul senario yang kita lihat ini? Baik dari segi agama mahupun sosial masyarakat itu sendiri.
Pasangan yang dianjurkan dari segi agama adalah perkahwinan yang menghalalkan hubungan antara lelaki dan perempuan. Manakala pertunangan menurut syarak pula adalah tempoh mengenali pasangan itu sendiri. Jadi secara jelas dari segi agama hal ini adalah salah. Di mana perlunya kita meletakkan komitmen dalam hal-hal yang tidak diperlukan?
Hal ini terlaalu common dalam masyarakat masa kini. Hingga mereka yang tidak mempunyai pasangan dianggap pelik. 'Kenapa ko tak cari lagi?', 'High demand sangat lah ko ni'. Saya akui, perasaan dimanjai dan diberi perhatian amat indah. Amat seronok apabila kita mengetahui apabila ada orang yang mengambil berat akan keadaan semasa kita. sakit kita, makan minum kita. Namun anda tidak rasakah bahawa ini adalah tipu daya syaitan belaka sebagaimana yan telah dia janjikan sejak zaman nabi adam lagi.
Jadi mingkin 'couple' juga merupakan salah satu dari agendanya. membuatkan kita terhanyut dari mengingati yang Esa menjerumuskan kita ke lembah maksiat. Nauzubillah ya Allah.
Jika perhatian yang dicari, kenapa ia bukan dari ibu bapa kita sendiri, jika kasih sayang yang dimahukan, kena ia bukan dari adik beradik sendiri, jika mahu menunjukkan prihatin, kenapa tidak kepada sahabat handai, kenapa tidak disalurkan kepada yang memerlukan. Masih ramai yang memerlukan kasih sayang kita, masih ramai yang butuh perhatian dan belaian kita. Kenapa tidak disalurkan kepada yang hak semata. Bahkan dalam memberi sedekah juga kita dianjurkan untuk mendahulukan keluarga kita sendir, jadi apatah lagi kasih yang luhur itu.
Semoga ia hanya menjadi kisah lampau. Dan yakinlah akan janji Allah, dan Allah janji Allah itu adalah BENAR
Jadi jika usaha yang kita mahukan adalah tidak lain dan tidak bukan dengan menjadi perempuan yan baik. Bukannya menambahkan kenalan dalam mencari calon yang terbaik. Insya Allah ada yang tersedia buatmu Adam dan Hawa. "someone somewhere is made for you"[Dil to Pagal Hai"
Dan Allah akan permudahkan jalan jodohmu jika dia yang terbaik buatmu. Keep your stand firm, usah hanyut dalam pandangan masyarakat jika mereka mengatakan kamu pelik, kerana pandangan ALlah adalah yang UTAMA.
Insya Allah ada Allah sediakan yang terbaik buat kita dihadapan sana. Dirisau jangan wahai sahabat. Wallahua'lam.
