OF MOVING

~ ~
After almost 3 years, 22 000 visitors, 316 entries, 240 tags, I've finally decided to put UnparalleledTheories (wordpress) to rest. It's a darn hard decision, but after thorough justification, I choose Blogger as my next home.

Thanks for your visit and am still struggling to change and improve the layout of this blog here and there. Blog designing is fun.



p/s: Why good, bad and undecided? I'll tell you later :)


OF CRAVING

1. This is
something BIG!
2. I miss my Caramel Macchiato with Hazelnut syrup. It's been months..
3. I want to try Green Tea Soy Latte!


[Jews/Zionists]

Dalam keghairahan umat Islam (dan juga bukan Islam) di Malaysia berdemonstrasi dan melakukan pelbagai rapat umum serta kempen untuk menyelamatkan Palestin, saya lihat ada sesuatu yang tidak kena dan bermain di medulla oblongata saya. Dan akhirnya bila terkena pada batang hidung sendiri, rasa mula ingin mengukuhkan hujah serta memberi sedikit maklumat di sini.

Situasi: Saya meletakkan gambar seorang Yahudi anti-zionis orthodox yang berdemonstrasi di Trafalgar Square, London sebagai ‘display picture’ pada paparan Yahoo Messenger sejak tercetusnya perang dan ‘occupation’ pergerakan Zionis masuk ke dalam Semenanjung Gaza. Dan beberapa reaksi negatif mulai muncul.


Dia: Weh, xde gambar lain ke nak letak? Tu Jew kan? Sheesh.
Saya: Yeps. He’s a Jew, but he’s against the occupation, though.
Dia: Yahudi tetap Yahudi.
Saya: Tahu apa itu Satmar? Neturei Karta?
Dia: Tak. Ape tuh?
Saya: Sila buat homework, ya? Cuma ‘google’ saja.

 

Dalam kelantangan kita membenci pencerobohan tentera Israel yang menabrak Semenanjung Gaza, saya rasa sebahagian dari kita lupa justifikasi keadilan yang sememangnya terpahat didada Al-Quran. Slogan yang biasa kita dengar; Jahanam Yahudi! Yahudi Laknatullah!bergema disetiap kempen, demonstrasi, rapat umum, dan sebagainya. Namun;

1.     Yahudi adalah nama satu bangsa, dan agama monotheism yang berdoktrinkan atau berpercayakan satu tuhan. Manakala, Zionis adalah satu pergerakan POLITIK Yahudi yang menghalalkan pencerobohan ke atas tanah rakyat Palestin.

2.     Bukan semua Yahudi menyokong pergerakan Zionism; contohnya Satmar dan Neturei Karta yang jelas lagi bersuluh menentang pertumpahan darah di Semenanjung Gaza. Mereka percaya bahawa gerakan ini sama sekali bertentangan dengan apa yang tertulis dalam kitab Torah. (Wikipedia: SatmarNeturei Karta)

Kesimpulannya, menggolongkan bangsa Yahudi itu sebagai sama dengan pergerakan Zionis sangatlah tidak adil. Namun kadang-kadang kita lupa, cepat melatah dan bertindak membabi-buta tanpa membuat sebarang pembacaan terhadap isu ini. Bercakap dan bertindak mesti berdasarkan bukti, bukan ikut hati. Jangan disebabkan kedangkalan diri, membiarkan agama kita dicemuh nanti. 


p/s: Bayangkan anda seorang yahudi yang menentang gerakan Zionis, tapi masyarakat menglabelkan anda sebagai pembunuh yang melakukan ‘genocide’. Apa perasaan anda?

p/ss: Saya bukan seorang liberalis. Sebarang ketidakpuasan hati, amat dialu-alu kan.

[Malaikat Itu]

~ ~
Malaikat itu
turunnnya di ambang sore.
turun dari atap langit,
singgah ke lantai bumi.

Malaikat itu
turun bersama tangis,
buat mereka yang langitnya hitam,
tanahnya merah,
namun, hati nya putih.

Malaikat itu
terpana tika melihat sedih si anak,
merentak-rentak di pangku ibu
tangisnya menembus heningnya syurgawi,
untuk agungnya syahid si ayah.

Malaikat itu
turun di ambang sore.
bukan merenggut, tapi menjemput.
Nyawa hamba-Nya yang bersih.

[Suria Apartment, kala sore]

First, why PANIC?


1. Because on the way back to Shah Alam, we had a not-so-little accident on the highway. Yes. Accident. Since everyone was tired like hell, feeling sleepy is inevitable. Aimi was driving the car, and all the passengers (ekhwan, Acad and ME) were sleeping at the back like there's no tomorrow. Apparently she was sleepy too and scraaaaaaapppp... our car rubbing the middle divider of the highway. Alhamdulillah, she was fast enough to pull the car back on the right track. If not..


ps: Sorry, Aimi. We should've keep you awake, but we're not!


2. Nazri's car  (Yes, 4 cars went to PD) almost hit our car's bumper somewhere in Subang. Blame the global warming. The cars turn to be a mobile oven, I must say. Nightmare.





Second, PICNIC!


1. Who? 15 stressful but funny people. Tatie, Shud, Ella, Aimi, Nad, Moja, Acad, Tajul, Nazri, Ekwhan, Niza, Pie, Fifi, Pet, Shafiq. 


2. Here are the pics! More pics soon!

TIME


Niat mahu menambah nilai handphone, tapi akhirnya RM9 melayang disebabkan ini. Jadi, saya tiada kredit. Harap maaf.


Why Israel Can't Win


Tapi lebih baik baca sudut pandangan pihak lain, dari menjelmakan diri sendiri sebagai seorang pembenci yang membabi-buta. Nanti Agama yang jadi mangsa. Ekstremis. 


Mahu baca? Tak payah beli, baca disini


 


Selamat membaca! Selamatkan Gaza!

[SomeUnholyWars]

~ ~

The war clouds are looming. Gloom and doom, it is. So he packed his best weapon from his armory, and bid his farewell. These unholy wars will never end. It has no bruises, neither blobs of blood nor guts. There will only be sweat and tears. He’s at the brink of the red line on the grass; hesitate to traverse over owing to the fact that he might not see the blue skies again. He sat down. And he pondered.


These unholy wars ain’t holy at all. But it is a must. A must. He made up his mind and he went, anyway.


He saw soldiers perished; they bleed not but the lost souls were up in the dark skies. He saw the judas running away from the battlefield; whizzed in their pants, and heard them huff and puff. They told him to retreat, but he listens not to them words. He believes that a man can find peace in the midst of war, and there’s calmness in the eye of a storm.


Until he’s at the very front line, ready to slay everything that lies in his way and at that very moment, he saw Him. He cried. He finally at peace. 


Some unholy wars just strike from within. 



[Republish:BiarkuJadiIzrail]

Biarku jadi Izrail,
Biarku renggut nyawa mereka ,
Biarku bunuh zionis itu,
Biarku tebus darah yang mengalir dibumiMu.

Biarku jadi Izrail,
Biarku ubati sengsara adik-adik ku,
Biarku kesat airmata ibu-ibu ku,
Biarku tebus nyawa abang-abang ku,
Biarku tebus maruah saudara-saudara ku,

Biarku jadi Izrail,
Biarku tamatkan derita Palestin,
Biarku kembalikan maruah bumi Quds ini,
Biarku tegakkan kalimah mu disini!

Namun aku bukan Izrail,
Kudratku kecil,
Semangatku lemah,
Imanku goyah.

Tuhan,
Bantulah aku,
Kerna ku takkan bisa menjadi Izrail-Mu,
Aku hanya hamba-Mu yang lemah.

[Complicated]

Why can't you just tell me how you feel about me?


Why can't you just say, "You're my friend, I Love you". 


Why can't you just say  "If things were different, this would be different- But it's not so they can't be. Not now, anyway". 


Why can't you just say, "I like you, but I'm scared and it's just too fucking complicated?" 


Why everything has changed?


Why can't you just say something?



 

* Nothing personal, just a fiction.

Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah.


My 'retail therapy' session is finally over, yesterday. Let's care not about the money spent, but the happiness counts. I think I am blessed with good friends around me, who never complaint of being drag here and there, and drive us around to get the best shopping complexes and movie cinemas to catch recently-released movies. Yes, it's you, Chip. Sometimes, I worry you'll collapse, though. Luckily, nothing happened. 


Mr. Guru, the fashion guru of all gurus, who complaint, laugh and a darn true gossip monger. A person who will say with confidence, 'yay' and 'nay' when you ask for a piece of mind over shirts and pants. And of course, a person who just can't stop whistling out Jonas' and Siti's tune.

And to Noona, who gave me a new watch after almost 3 bloody years I live without anything on my wrist. Can't blame me for being a major procrastinator, for the last years. I often lose track of time, but not anymore. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. 


Books nourish my heart, brain and soul. Books are the most perfect presents for people like me, I will never, ever, say no. Thanks to my bestest buddy, Mr. Adif Faidz for three (geez) Kahlil Gibran's books. I love them books so much. Yay!


When you have new jeans, sling bag, John Mayer cd, FREE books AND watch, shoes, socks, burps and laughs, you just can't ask for more. And by that moment, you finally know, that the world is not always in black and white. 


Friends can take the pain away. and I bloody Love my friends. 


*Let 2009 re-unite old friendship and build-up new ones. Cheers.


 



Catch up again soon,
Moja.
