Before reading this entry, please read the two links above to get a grasp of what kind of message i'm trying to convey here.

Firstly, i'm a Muslim. Just because i support the Christians, doesn't mean i'm one of them or i have the intention to convert. And since this is a religous matter, i'm sure some fucked up fuckers out there will tell me to go dress decently or to read a book about dressing decently. I'm saying this because a retarded bastard just said that to me. Fucker probably masturbate to porn and thinks he's still a better human being than i am just because my opinion seems to be going against Islam (i hope you read this u SOB). This is my PMS week and you picked the wrong time to mess with me. Reminder, i'm not nice when you irrelevantly insult me.

I'm a fair and just person so if a particular practice by people from my religion seems to be wrong, i will say so. At least i say it DIPLOMATICALLY unlike some super conservatives who go around insulting people and other people's religion.

I believe you should RESPECT OTHER RELIGION. And even if you think other religion's Gods aren't real, just keep that opinion to yourself.

The guy who wrote the article above titled "‘Christianophobia’ in Malaysia?" has a VALID POINT. Why do i say so? Well, i'm surrounded by Muslims and some seem to have the idea that Christians are out there to destroy Muslims, convert Muslims into their religion, have hidden religous agenda, etc. And let's not forget about that X Mas incident where after sooooo many bloody years, suddenly there's an issue that Muslims can't celebrate X Mas? That statement isn't even right because Muslims don't celebrate it, they just go to family X Mas events because of invitation.

And how did the idea of "Islamopohibia" cam into existence? Many thanks to the terrorists. Majority of non Muslims out there probably think that Islam is a religion of violence.

We all have our conspiracy theories. And these theories seem realistic because of the circumstances that are actually happening.

Anyway, that article was referring to the VIDEO by an Ustazah who was talking why the celebration of Valentine's Day is HARAM.

Right now, i have no bf, so even if i support V Day, i don't see what benefits it brings me? So i doubt my opinion will be biased. My opinion is simply this : it's ok to celebrate V Day as long as you don't do things against Islamic values, like having wild sex just because you want to celebrate how beautiful is your so called love, partying, being alone together (like the video says) or whatever other immoral acts.

Is it wrong to give presents to your love one and to give him/her a card?

To begin with, there are too many versions on the ORIGIN of V Day that you don't even know which is REAL. Funny thing is that, this St Valentine is a PRIEST, so how can he be in love with a WOMAN? Only Pastor can get married and have children.

Over the years, the concept of V Day has changed drastically (if you are actually believing each of the theories on the origin of V Day). It has changed so much, that i don't see any Christianity values in it at all. To me, it looks just like a day where you CELEBRATE LOVE, as how there are days where you celebrate FRIENDSHIP, MOTHERS, FATHERS etc. Do you see any religious symbols during V Day? All i see are hearts here and hearts there.

And yes, that Ustazah did in fact INSULT the CHRISTIANS when she said : "tradisi bg masyarakat beragama Kristian, bukan agama Islam macam tu" a.k.a tradition by Christians and not Muslims.

You see, this is the problem with SOME MALAYS. Why can't they see that all religions ask their followers to do good things? It's the people who TAINTED the religion by doing IMMORAL THINGS. Immoral things happened because of human beings and their culture.

Just THINK.

You think Christianity promote ADULTERY? OUT OF WEDLOCK SEX?

Of course not but these stuff happens among Christians because they simply don't want to follow the teachings of the religion. There are some Muslims who do these immoral things but that doesn't mean Islam encourage them to do it.

Western cultures are to be blamed for this. Because majority of them are Christian, we think Christianity allow all those immoral acts. WE FORGET the simple fact that people just refused to follow the teachings of religion, thus the immoral acts being done openly and publicly.

So yes, the Ustazah's statement was so wrong and if the Christans demand an apology, she SHOULD APOLOGIZED. She said the immoral things are Christian's tradition. What she should have said is that it's the PEOPLE'S TRADITION. The WESTERN people's tradition. That's what happened when you can't tell the DIFFERENCE between RELIGION and CULTURE/TRADIITON.

Just think, now in Malaysia there is a high rise of baby dumping. Majority are Malay babies. Is it fair to say it's Islamic tradition to dump babies? Definitely wrong! Don't attack the religion for the wrongdoing's of the offender. It's the culture and mindset of the person that is to be blamed.


And according to the video, these are the possible VERSIONS of the origin of V DAY :

1. Idolized Goddess of Love. Pick a woman's name from a bottle and have sex with her for 1 year.

2. Rememberance of St Valentine's death since he spread Christianity. Tortured in prison. Helped prisoners to escaped. Wrote a LOVE LETTER to a woman. Can't buy V day card.

3. Valentine marrying off soldiers, against the King's order.

4. I didn't understand the 4th one.

5. St Valentine played an important role in destroying Islam in Cordova. Thus we shouldn't celebrate since it will mean we support him destroying Islam.

Celebrating V Day

What i like about Valentine's Day is the decorations, cards and the soft toys they sell for that occasion. It's cute. The other day i saw a teddy bear with devil horns holding a love that says something about V Day. Maybe because i like the colour red, so i get excited when i see these cute stuff in red.

Would i celebrate V Day if i have a bf? Hmm not really. Maybe celebrate it privately but won't go to the malls since there will be a lot of people and the restaurants will probably be full and i have no intention to see couples over doing PDAs (Public Display of Affection).

I think some women who are in relationship do feel the pressure of V Day, trying to compete with one another as in who get more roses or bigger presents. Thus probably hoping their partner will send those things to their office or give those stuff when they go out so she can carry them around for the public to see. I love big teddy bears but i definitely won't carry one around me, it's embarrassing. Just sent it home immediately or put it in the car.

Bfs and husbands probably want to avoid going out during V Day since they would be pressured to buy the flowers/candies/toys being sold openly in malls. There will probably be some idiot walking around with a basket of roses trying to spot couples and pressure the guy to buy the roses.

V day is in fact harmless, but there are idiots out there who think that having out of wedlock sex on V Day is EXTRA SPECIAL (as if they don't have sex on other occasions?). Thus this make religious authorities think V Day is evil where people will do immoral acts.

Quoting wikipedia on how V Day came into existence :

"appropriate lore has been embroidered in modern times to portray Valentine as a priest who refused an unattested law attributed to Roman Emperor Claudius II, allegedly ordering that young men remain single. The Emperor supposedly did this to grow his army, believing that married men did not make for good soldiers. The priest Valentine, however, secretly performed marriage ceremonies for young men. When Claudius found out about this, he had Valentine arrested and thrown in jail.

There is an additional modern embellishment to The Golden Legend, provided by American Greetings to History.com, and widely repeated despite having no historical basis whatsoever. On the evening before Valentine was to be executed, he would have written the first "valentine" card himself, addressed to a young girl variously identified as his beloved,[15] as the jailer's daughter whom he had befriended and healed,[16] or both. It was a note that read "From your Valentine."[15]"

Anyway, how can priest have a lover? i thought he can't get married? I know pastor can do so.

V Day is not against Islam if u minus the holding hands (or any body contact) and out of wedlock sex. Duh, even those who called themselves religious or make themselves look so Islamic also hold hands with their gf/bf.

Evil Sarcasm

WARNING : if u r married, don't read.

Today i went to JPN (Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara) with my dad because he has to make a new IC since his was stolen.

So there was this one department where people would register to get married and divorce (since it says PERKAHWINAN & PERCERAIAN). So i saw many couples taking pics because there's this flowery decoration stand for you to take pics. And there was this couple who hold their wedding certificate (i think that's it since it's in A4 size) and took a pic together smiling.

So it made me think, would ex couples hold a divorce certificate (or probably a letter verifying they are divorced) and take a picture together? They should. It's a celebration of going through the pain and suffering endured during the marriage. And probably a real success if the marriage was like more than 10 years old which finally ended up in a divorce.

Some TV Dramas are Simply Stupid

Sometimes i get the golden opportunity to be AMUSED by stupid tv dramas when i go to eat at restaurants like the mamak or any malay restaurants.

Like today, i was eating at a malay restaurant and on tv, they were showing some stupid Indonesian drama. I find all Indonesian dramas are stupid, especially those with stupid fairy tale kind of storyline with those bad special effects.

Not only is the drama stupid, but irritating. Why is it irritating? They like to ZOOM RIGHT INTO the actor's/actress's face especially when the facial expression is showing they are SHOCKED/SNEERING/OVERWHELM BY SADNESS. As if by zooming it will be extra dramatic.

Tamil tv dramas are even more irritating (i don't watch, but i happen to surf through the channels when i'm bored). They like to ZOOM the actor's/actress's face too, but to be more super dramatic, they zoom it SEVERAL TIMES (as if one time is not enough). WTH?

Malay tv dramas are almost like Indonesian tv dramas. All they talk about is love, love and love, relationships, who likes who, who tries to sabotage the love of whoever, rich guy meets poor girl, or vice versa. The love will be the major plot of the story while there will be some minor plots like taking over somebody's company or trying to inherit as much property as possible. Malay tv dramas are soooo into "datuks" and "datins". How do i know all these if i don't watch? Hell, whenever i happen to be watching these dramas on tv when the restaurants are playing it, they will always talk about love relationships.

When i was younger, i love to watch this kind of crap because i want my favourite character to be in love with the other person. But i outgrown them, due to boredom and the fact that it's a waste of time to be talking about relationship 24/7. Do we actually do that in real life? So obsessed with our relationship and others' as well?

Some western tv dramas are like that too, especially soap operas. I used to like watching The Bold and The Beautiful but as the plots becomes of stupid and ridiculous, i just lost interest. There was this whorish character that sleeps with everyone, including her daughter's husband. And her daughter can easily forgive her? And to make it more ridiculous is that there was an in vitro fertilization that went wrong when the mother's ovum was mixed up with the daughter's, resulting in the mother's ovum being assimilated with the daughter's husband's sperm.

I love Grey's Anatomy because they have good script but the characters keep on having sex and keep on changing partners and it's irritating. Sex really do sell. You can't make the show interesting without involving sex?

I think i just hate shows that concentrates too much on the human's emotions.

The Tainted London Holiday

THE PLAN

My dad was going to have a meeting in London so i decided to follow him. So it will be work for him and holiday for me and him too. It was suppose to be a one week trip until the fucked up incident happened.

THE FUCKED UP INCIDENT

We reached the Heathrow airport and took the tube to Glouchester because our hotel was in that area. Once we recahed Glouchester, we have probs looking for the stupid hotel. We asked a few people but they seem not to know where is the hotel.

While busy trying to look for the hotel, the motherfucking bald bastard approached us and asked something which we couldnt understand. Then he left. That's when we noticed that one of our luggage was MISSING.

When we were distracted by the fucker, my dad accidentally let go of the other luggage and it seems that's how that other fucker (this was a syndicate) stole the other luggage. God, just thinking about it again makes me SO DAMN BLOODY ANGRY. I seriously wish i can kill that motherfucker bastard!

THE STOLEN STUFF

A large amount of money was stolen, my dad's identity card, his driving license, credit cards and 2 laptops (one is mine and the other was my dad's). My dad had stored all the important documents in the bag. Luckily his passport wasn't in the bag.

As for my things, there goes my laptop, hard disk, hp charger, camera charger and MY CIVIL LAW TEXT BOOK!!!! Argh now i have to photostat it from someone because one day i might need it as a reference. Luckily i didn't store my Nintendo DS in the bag. I put it in a pouch together with the charger in my handbag.

THE DECISION

My dad and i were traumatized by the incident. We felt lost. All my dad's money which he planned to spend in London was gone and so were his credit cards. But luckily, he had some money in pounds in his other wallet so we could survive for awhile.

We eventually managed to find that fucking damn stupid hotel after walking around with people giving us contradicting directions. At the hotel, my dad asked me what i wanted to do. I felt sorry for him. And i feel like crying when he apologized that we can't buy the things. Honestly, the last thing on my mind was shopping and all i wanted to do was to go back to Malaysia.

I told my dad that the better option was to go back to Malaysia, if possible, that day itself. Why?

1. We have less than 600 pounds. Hotel room per nite per room was 100 pounds and we are getting 2 rooms.

2. We have no battery charger. Luckily my dad managed to call Maybank to cut his Maybank credit cards.

3. No camera since the charger was stolen.

4. Need to save the money for more important stuff and definitely we can't spend it to go sight seeing which cost $$$.

And if i were my dad, i rather go home because i won't be at peace thinking that my identity card is gone and there is little money left. So after thinking, my dad says that it's better to go home.

We had to stay overnight at the hotel since we booked it. Luckily they were understanding enough not to charge us for 1 whole week for the booking.

So we just spent the whole night in the room. Can't afford to go any where and plus we were not in the mood to go traveling after what had happened.

That night, i have never felt so DAMN DEPRESSED. Felt like wanting to talk to someone and seeking comfort but can't do so. I even dreamt that our stolen stuff were returned to us. Unfortunately that was only a dream.

And that night, i was woken up because some idiot tried to enter my room and the door knob was making sound. I was kindda disoriented but i was hoping they would go away. To make matters worse, there is no hole on the door for me to see who was outside and there was no door chain at all. So opening the door was out of the question. So i asked loudly who's there.

That's when the idiot realized that he had the WRONG ROOM. Must be a drunken idiot.


ME, TRAUMATIZED?

Yes, i was traumatized. Coz if im not, i wouldn't dream that we get the stuff back. I wouldn't keep on asking 'WHAT IF'. What if we hadn't look like lost tourists which makes us easy targets? What if we never talked to that motherfucker? What if we were MORE AWARE of our surroundings? What if what if what if.

I admire my father for being a real man because he was still optimistic despite this incident and said that one day we will return and be more careful. in my head, my mind was going f8cked london. i hate this bloody place. But when i see how friendly the English people were, i guess my heart soften a little.

By the way, the fucker bastard was probably a eastern european son of a bitch. And it seems that it's the non english people that are causing problems in london. Like few days before my trip, i read in the papers about a Malaysian girl who was gang raped by some Russian men.

My dad's optimism made me stronger in handling this matter. A guy can panick, but he can't be more panicky or equally panicky as the girl. he needs to control the situation. And that's what my dad did and i thank him for that.


THE POLICE STATION

We did make a report at the police station. I asked the police whether can we have the CCTV checked out but the idiot says that the police are occupied with a missing persons case so that have more priority than stolen properties. The place where the incident took place isn't even that far from the police station and the obese idiot can't even spare his time to look at the cctv?

MY WISH

I wish that the motherfucker idiot dies a horrible death or suffer many bad things and i wish the same thing will happen to his family. That fucker brought misery to me and my father and it's only fair if his family suffers the same. I wish KARMA finds this bastard and bring bad consequences to his family so that he realize that before he plans to do something bad to other people, think about what if bad things were to happen to his family as well.

My principle in life is pretty simple, you don't burden me, i don't burden you. If you mess with me, i'll make you you will suffer terribly. SO DIE YOU MOTHERFUCKER THIEF! I'm no Mother Theresa who is very loving and forgiving and probably merciful.

DID I EVEN ENJOY LONDON?

Not really. But i'm glad i got the opportunity to be in Airbus 380, the biggest plane that is available now. It was cool :-D. The flight was from London to Dubai. Enjoyed the flight. Oh and i also manage to buy my favourite perfume, Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy for half price. In Malaysia, it will be RM 150 but the one i bought in UK was RM 60. Even the Victoria Secret perfumes are much much cheaper than in Malaysia.

Hospice is like kindergarten (life cycle)

Dictionary.com says :

Hospice : a nursing home that specializes in caring for the terminally ill.

Kindergarten : a class or small school for young children, usually between the ages of four and six to prepare them for primary education.

I was watching CNN(my dad had it switched on), so there was an interview with a woman who works at a hospice in China (if i'm not mistaken) and she says that hospice for old people is like kindergarten for children. She has a point.

Old people are old. Children are young. The similarities that they share is that both need the supervision of a capable adult to look after them. Basically, these people can't look after themselves.

When you are an infant/child, your parents look after you. Then you become an adult. And when your parents become older, you have to look after them. So the hospice worker was right, it's a life cycle.

But when adult children send their elderly parents to hospice/old folks home, people accused the children of being UNGRATEFUL. Honestly, this is not always the case.

Can parents be considered ungrateful for sending their children to live with their in laws because they don't have the time to look after the children? Are parents not good parents if they let the maids look after the child 24/7? The only time they have with the child is during the weekends, when they are not working.

In the case of adult children, they need to work now that their parents are old. If their parents are very sick, then hospice would be the better option because at least they get a 24/7 medical attention. Old folks home isn't that bad because at least the elderly parent can interact with other old people, unless they prefer to stay at home alone and wait until their children get back to entertain them, but that also depends whether the child is tired or not. It's life cycle actually.

Now, unless you are a healthy old person who have hobbies of your own, then that's another story. Of course the child should allow the parent to live with them (but usually the parent will be staying in her/his own house).

It depends why a an adult send his/her parent to a hospice/old folks home. If it's to get rid of the parent because the parent is burdensome, than that's so wrong. If it's because they need constant care/attention, then that should be ok, provided the child visits the parent occasionally.

Sometimes old people get neglected. So does children.

Sick & Twisted

Today i read in the news about a man who got 80 years imprisonment for raping his daughter. To make it worse, he rapes the underage daughter in front of his wife. The wife couldn't stop him because he would abuse her. But eventually she pleaded help from the neighbor to call the police.

Some people are not worth becoming a husband or father. If i'm not mistaken, this guy has like more than 5 children.

Didn't the wife see the signs of her husband perversion?

Incest happens because :

1. the man is naturally a pervert who probably wants to rape everything with a hole.

2. children are easy victims. You have power over them and they stay under the same roof with the rapist. Don't have to waste time looking for female victims outside.

3. wife depriving husband of sex, hence the perverted husband turns to the children.

4. Why waste money on prostitute and waste effort trying to get girls to sleep with u when the children are the easiest targets?

Mothers play a role in protecting their children, including protecting them against a perverted abusive husband/father.

But the problem with incest is that sometimes the children don't know what the parent is doing to them, hence the silence. Or sometimes FEAR prevent them from seeking help.
