Definition of "Allah"

Language for All

Apparently, the latest conflict in my country, Malaysia is the usage of the term "Allah". Of course, churches have been attacked with some Molotov cocktails by some anonymous culprits. People especially conservative Muslims have been dwelling on this matter as the term is deemed to be exclusive only for the Muslims. So, ahh ... this is the latest dispute in my homeland which will most probably drive tourists and FDI's away.

As far as I'm concerned, "Allah" is the standard Arabic word for "God". It is widely used by Arabic-speakers of all Abrahamic faiths which includes Christians and Jews in reference to "God". On top of that, the Christian Arabs of today have no other words to refer to "God" other than "Allah". The same thing applies to other races. A portion Christian Chinese refers to "God" in their own language, Mandarin as : (神; pinyin: shén). In other words, it is pronounced as "shen". Therefore, is the word "shen" exclusive to the Chinese only? Be it "Allah" or "Shen", both of these words have the same meaning. After all, it's only a noun. If the vermins who attacked the churches wanted so much exclusivity for the word, why not give a special name to the God? They must distinguish "Kata Nama & Kata Nama Khas" very well. Well, unless education is what these poor chaps are lack of.

There's no way that we can deny the rights of others to use a secondary language. What's next then? Forbidden students from using English as it is not the national language? For so many years, many non-Muslim Malaysians have been saying "Allar, why this ...... ; Allah why that ...." and so on. Hence, it's totally a waste of time to have a court ruling as it's only an Arabic word. Worst of all, i repeat, it's only a NOUN a.k.a KATA NAMA in Arabic term. I don't care who's behind those dirty attacks, be it political or religious party, we learn KATA NAMA in Primary ONE, ya know?

Last but not least, I hope this crap can be resolved as soon as possible. No doubt, I'm worried I might get jailed for writing this as the Internal Security Act in Malaysia often arrest civilians for some super absurd and ostentatious reasons. Anyway, it's freedom of speech, and I'm going to utilize this to the fullest. For further information, please kindly refer to Wikipedia.

Hyper Drift

Hyper Drift

Interesting, this is not Tokyo Drift where every imperfect drift scenes are edited or stripped off the movie. There are no cuts and retakes as well. This is for real, no joke. Apparently, I did manage to cull this video from YouTube. It's a 590bhp Nissan 240 SX which does a ninja-like drift with the rear of the car gliding astonishingly backwards. Fabulous and world class. This hyper drift is a must watch --- I'm optimistic, it's the finest drift ever.

LONGHORNS --- ! ! !

LONGHORNS --- !!! ROARRR ~ !

Bonjour ~ ! It's been a month since the blog was updated, so here are some latest update. Apparently, I went to Taman Negara with my friends, knowing nothing about the adventure which lies ahead. But indeed, the trip turned out to be adventurous. This is due to the fact that I was nearly washed away along with my buddies by the sudden strong river stream. It doesn't sound cool here.... but the whole process was utterly exciting. It was a moment between life and death, and it was a moment where I know that our friendships were tested to the boundaries. Yet, we never cared for our lives and saved each other asses. Precisely, there were only 4 of us, and I'm grateful that I didn't die miserably in that river. Thank God, no one in this world would want to die by being flushed away by a river, isn't it ? In a fraction of a second, we spotted a gigantic rock. We held each other and swam desperately towards it. Fortunately though, we made it through unscathed. In this kind of decisive moment, only real friends will lend each other a helping hand, and it's the most valuable experience to date in my life. From then on, I believe that true friends, in no matter how the circumstances are, will never ever leave us behind. Believe me, it's damn damnnn true.

So, the trip above covers some of the first half of my holiday. I will be attending the Akon concert tomorrow. So let's hope that it's going to be a thrilling one. To my weirdo buddies who were there in Taman Negara, all hail the LONGHORNSSSSS ~ !!! It was a sweet victory against the forces of Mother Nature, wooo hooo !!!

Spidey's Cousin

Spidey's Cousin ??

I pledged not to blog for a few weeks, but this is irresistible. Look at what I found from the Internet. Its Spider-Man's cousin a.k.a the Agamas Lizard. The striking color of its body is bizarre and fascinating. For your information, this exotic lizard is the latest exotic pet craze. Too bad, it doesn't throw webs at others, but it can still walk on hind legs and scale vertical walls like Spidey. With the color which resembles so much of Spidey, it's no wonder that this chap wants to join the legion of the Super-Pets.

I managed to find quite a number of weird looking animals, but only the color Agamas lizard convinced me at the first sight. The nature of the unique color is simply fascinating, and others are just simply weirdos.

Oh, just a reminder the Lizard is to be referred as "super-pet". Don't be mistaken and call it a weirdo. Finally, please do enjoy the picture --- this guy won't bite.

Where's My Love ?

KFC a.k.a Kentucky Fried Chicken is one of the famous brands I admire the most out there. I'm a life long fan of KFC, but I can only achieve that if I do something about it before it's too late. I used to love KFC, and I still love so. There aren't any real substitutes out there which can compete with KFC. Today, I went to one of the KFC outlets in Malacca for dinner. Out of a sudden, I discovered that the graph of my appetite and love towards the meal plunged down to the bottom of my heart. What has happened? I loved KFC, didn't I?

YUCK ! I felt that the meal was so disgusted as if I was chewing a pile of garbage. Nothing went wrong with the taste, but something went wrong with my mind. My tougue got quite picky nowadays. I'm sorry, Colonel Sanders.... I'm really sorry for turning my back at you out of no reason. In order to preserve my love for KFC, I guess that setting up a monthly or yearly quota should be the best solution. For now, I'll just have to settle with McDonald's Chicken McDeluxe.

Where's the love? Where's MY love ???

My apologise, Colonel Sanders.

Beat It !

Sorry to disappoint everyone in the first place, this post has nothing to do with the late Michael Jackson's Beat It. I'm really really sorry =) Now, let's go back to the main agenda.

For the past 2 weeks, life has been bizarre and roller-coaster like. Uhm, I'm not sure if bizarre is the right word, but things has never been normal. Everything can be summarised into one word.

BUSY !

Apparently, I've been drilling and training my football as hard as ever. In return, my team won a football tournament held in my university. The gold medal which I've been craving for 2 years in university has finally arrived ! You know what, it's tougher to win in university than high school. As far as I can remember, I was able bag an amount of 3 to 5 medals from my high school's annual sports day. Arrggh, although my play was suck, I was joyful and relieved that the team had won. My adrenaline was pumped to the limit and every match was dramatic to the extent that I can't even bear to miss one participating moment. Well, I hope that I will be good enough to be in the team next year. Retaining the crown is the top priority. Hopefully, that piece of momento will not be my first and final silverware. Furthermore, I have only one more year to go in university, thus I want to win more !

Switching the scene from the field to lecture hall, I guess I've done well academically too. Surprisingly, I got some unexpected results from my class presentation and mid term examination. The real obstacle was spending only 3 hours in my sleep for the past 2 days due to the complex nature of the presentation and an ostentatious demand from the lecturer. Ridiculous huh? Worse still, more than 10 hours were spent in recording a video clip. Everything was so last minute. Making a video clip is already hyper hard and time consuming, let alone the Transformers film. I wonder how those guys in Hollywood did it, everything was so complicated. At the end of the day, my fellow group mates and I were grateful as the whole thing turned out to be splendid. We really did some marvelous jobs out there.

Up next, there will be a quiz and a midterm exam tomorrow. Then, there are still tasks as high as the Himalaya mountains due for the remaining few weeks of my semester. If I survive these final waves of obstacles, I'll declare an official victory in my war against stress ! Balancing academic studies and outdoor activities is never an easy task. I've never been this busy before, but I'll beat everything which comes under my way.

More glories will come and follow,
I'll enjoy and savor this stressful moment to the fullest,
I won't be defeated.

I'm gonna be tough and I'll do what I can. I'll just beat it ~ !
Beat It ~ !

Speed Machines

Apparently, Top Gear did some real serious and interesting stuff,

These machines are among the fastest of the 1990's and 2000's,

It's the Battle of The Titans,

McLaren F1 Vs Bugatti Veyron,

Both machines possess blistering speed,

By the way, the Veyron is ugly, LONG LIVE McLaren F1 ~ ! !

-- Enjoy --
