Helping The Wake Up Project

Rebirth

2010-04-24T22:52:00.000-07:00

Salam.

I am truly sorry for not being a good blogger. I've got the time but Im not using it well.
For this rebirth post, I am telling those who reads this that ; I'll be doing a project to help the Wake Up Project guys by using my gifts to translate the Phase 3 series into our native language Bahasa Malaysia. This is the way I choose to support the dakwah, and what's yours?

I hope that I'll be able to do this by my own but! I really hope that anyone of you would help me out. This project is still unsure of its completeness. So, don't look forward for it too much. :) I have asked Achernahr & Noreagaa, for permissions translating Phase 3 into Malaysian. Translating will not be the only thing though, I will commit myself in doing further research. Support our brothers & sisters who fights in name of Allah.

Assalamualaikum :)

!!!!!SPOILER WARNING!!!!!

-read at your own desire-

Sorry for the cliffhanger on the previous post. I decided not to continue the post as at that time I was still in the shroud of completing the game. Whooooooo! (Ric Flair) But heyy... I FINISHED it! :D Hooorayy!! :D It took me about 2 days with near 12 hour break after each game. The story part has been completed, but there's still a lot to do in the game which I'll be getting on this midnight. Sadly not for the two downloadable content. :(

There's 5 location in total including Roma at the end of the game. Venice, the Apennine Mountains, Tuscany, Rome and the Romagna region. Though Vatican and Roma were the minor settings in the game as you don't really spend much time there. Each city has it's own atmosphere to it. Venice, with it's canal and gondolas, colorful clothings and tall decorated towers. While Tuscany has a more grim atmosphere to it. Dark skies. Ill painted buildings. Much towards to - the city of the dead - .. :\

You again play as the protagonist Desmond Miles, who escaped from Abstergo with the aid of Lucy Stillman (Kristen Bell-she's hot:}), ex-staff of Abstergo and an assassin herself. Along the way you'll meet with more allies/assassins, Shaun Hastings (Danny Wallace) a historian and Rebecca Crain (Eliza Schneider). But hey, if he escaped Abstergo, how does he able to return into his ancestors memory? Well, there's Animus 2.0. Handled by computer expert Rebecca, you'll be able to relive the memory of Desmond's ancestor and this time around, you'll not be playing as Altair ibn Al-Ahad, but his grand grand grand great grand children, Ezio Auditore di Firenze. Ezio was young and wild hearted man, always on a lookout for danger and fun. But his life is about to take one heck of a turn. After doing a few errands for his father, a group of soldiers came to the Auditore house and captured his father and his two brothers. Leaving only his sister, mother and their maid. Locked up in a political plot, his father and brothers became victims and were hanged in front of his very eyes. Filled with anger and vengeance, Ezio swears that he will hunt down those responsible. Little does he knew then, it was more than just a political conflict. Ezio, his mother and sister was taken care of by his uncle, Mario who allowed them to stay at his vill on the countryside of Monteriggioni. There, her learns the art of combat and ways of the assassins. Mario aided Ezio by leading him to some of those who were involved in his family's betrayal. It brings him to Florence, San Gimignano, Forli, Venice and eventually to Rome.

"Ooopocot!!.."

He eventually learned that Rodrigo Borgia was the leader of the killing of his father and the leader of the Knights Templar. He eventually became pope and holds access to one Piece of Eden and the Vault. And you know it, Ezio, as his bad ass grandpa would've done, assassinate.... but no~~ He left Rodriga and spared his life. Then..... CENSORED.... play the game okay, :D hahaha.

New weapons provided. Where you can purchase them at blaksmiths or you can claim them by disarming your opponent. Spears, war hammers, malice, swords, daggers, and best of all, a hidden gun (created by Leonardo) along with the cheeky hidden blades. Yes, hidden bladeS. Blades with an 'S'. Two hidden blades man! Narly! Players now can change the color of Ezio's outfits by dye'in them at the tailor's. Heal themselves at the doctor and even purchase paintings to increase the Villa's value. Yep, uncle Mario's crib is kinda a small city, and yep, it's kinda yours. :D Ezio got pimped! Collect enough of the previous assassin's seal, and you'll get to use Altair's armor. Extra light, extra protection. Comes in cool dark black. Whooooo!!! (Ric Flair).

There three factions in all which you can hire to help you distract or fight off your opponent. Thieves, Whores and Mercenaries. Thieves will help you to distract guards of your selection opening the way for you to proceed with your actions. Whores will also distract in a more "sexy" kinda of way and Mercenaries will fight along side of you, killing and hacking for bloof and money. All of these factions are available through out any city or location as long as you have a minimum of 150 gold coins.

Well, I'll be sharing that much. Another much of it, it's up to you to find out. :)

Assalamualaikum :D

Whats up ya'll! haha. I hope that you guys are always be blessed day by day. :) Happy Chinese New Year ! :) To all chinese people. It's kinda quiet here (Johor Bahru) compared to celebrations back at Sarawak. Whooooo!! (Rick Flair) Back at Borneo, celebrations such as these would be bangg'in ! You digg?? The skies would be filled up with beautiful fireworks and the sounds would be as thunderous, explosive as if there's a war somewhere near. demmmmm~~~ xD

Assassin's Creed 2

Bad ass kind hearted angel of death - that's him, Altair. The main character from the first Assassin's Creed where you were given tasks to find the piece of Eden - a golden ball with strange markings. The first game's gameplay was a much linear sided type and repetitive most of the time. But the massive settings tend to lure you away from it. BUT, as massive as it is, there's very little interaction with Altair, as you roam around the cities and planes. BUT! In Assassin's Creed 2, it's very much differ. Cities provided are larger, varies, and highly detailed from every wall, nook and cranny. Different ambient for each city, some are groomed and dark, others like Venice, are vibrant with colors. Details are great especially on HDMI - 1080p.

Ezio. Ezio Auditore. You play as him now, the descendent of Altair. Young but deadly. Day by day he grew fond of his ancestors blood as an assassin. Memory by memory you learn of a tragic tragedy happened to the Auditore family. His father, brother ad younger brother acused of treason and executed in front of his very eyes. Left with vengeance, he seeks justice to those responsible. But as he proceeds, each life he sets to fly, he learns of his ancestor's past. Comes the clash of past enemies still seeks blood of each and the war of assassin's and templars continues.

New weapons, more arsenal of weapons can be carried, factions that can be hired, new skills, and most important of all - Ezio can swim! while his great x100 grandpa drowns as he hits water. You'll meet new allies as you progress and one of them is Leonardo Da Vinci who'll be providing Ezio with advance weaponary.

Regardless of the Days.

The first module finished today. Words. Words. Speech. Speech. Started out with kesatria in the morning. Followed by the module an hour after that. At first, the module was kinda...... boring. But as time passes, it gets interesting. Especially during the speech about Hadhariah Islamiah by our Ustaz. Didnt knew his name though. -_-* Then lastly a speech by our Principal, Hj Bahaman. Most of our module activity today was filled with laughters, enjoyment, not paying full attention etc. xD

Assalamualaikum .

It's been a while since wrote in my blog. Not a while I pre

sume. It's been more than a couple of months now (cant remember) since I opened my own blog. Haaa, thats better. Oh, I admit How irresponsible I am. }:[ for leaving my blog astray. Bad Dollah! Bad! BAD! :D

Well. Here I am. Facing the laptop. Typing in words via the keyboard. Thinking. Dreaming. *Sigh*, dreaming huh? Yeap. Dreaming if revelry. How I miss my hometown. How I miss hanging out with my parents, brothers, friends. How I miss Kings and all it's inhabitants. Beings inside it satisfying themselves of virtual enjoyment. How I miss eating there, where a place called Madli. How I miss my bed, my room and every single thing in it. Including my pc. Modern Warfare. :(

But hell. What for missing something, when I'm here doing shit? Right? It's better that I focus on my studies, not to be excellent in every subject but being excellence itself. How would you appreciate missing somebody or missing somethings? Struggle! Damn it!

Haha. sorry for some horrible language. Kinda stressed this couple of weeks. Lots of things to be taken seriously and think about. Hold ups. (chewah!) Seriously, they're making hold ups and gives away tickets (saman) for those not following the student's ethical clothing. Then there's modules. What's the module I don't even know. Starts at 11 am - 7 pm while keSatria stars at 8 am - 10am. Then the next day at 8 am - 5 pm.

Tired.. Yes. As I'm stressed out, my roommate starts making troubles. Acting up like he's cool, smart, like he's the best (not!), he's rich (not!) and mocks people and stuff. Likes to mess up our house. That includes our room. He oonly talks and brags when there's someone or somethings that he doesn't like. Hey, action speaks louder than words faggot.

Again. Sorry for my attitude. :)

Oh yeah. It's been a while since Im not dwindle'in in photography. Sorry guys. BUSY. and I ain't got that freedom yet to ponder around with my rocker. Ain't got photoshops. and my laptop seems to be...... improper. So, off I go now! Tata!

Oh! in case you guys are wondering, Im a student of the Faculty of Artistic & Creative Technology , major in Arts Management, Puncak Perdana, UiTM. First semester. Pray for my success and I'll pray for yours. :) amin.....

Blog out!

Leica film SLR coming soon!! :) and hopefully a330 / a550 / 50d if I could get a Dean's List. amin!

Ohhh.. Please!~

Salam.. uuuhhh, it's been so long, since i've been bloggin.... oohhh..

haha.. sorry folks... Im kinda occupied recently with all the fasting and learning image enhancing softwares... thanks people from Digital Camera!! :D

I've just got my Adobe Camera RAW / DNG... so, more photos okay! :D hurraaayy..~

It's actually a plug-in that enables users of Adobe Photoshop either Elements, CSs' or any of the photo related Adobe softwares to manipulate images captured in RAW . It gives more access to a variety of tweaks and fixes, as well as enhances plain simple photos into vibrant beautiful images.

It's pretty handy. It's like a wonder tool for photographers, especially those who owns dSLRs.

Now, this week I've learned tons of new editing techniques that can be achieve using Adobe Photoshop. So, you'll be seeing some images edited. Not now of course, sorry -_-* hehe.

If you have Adobe Photoshop , go get your Camera RAW plug-in ! :D and oohh, get those great tips from experts, like from those at Digital Camera.. go buy their Magazines! Watch those tutorials... they really come in handy ... ;D
Oh man, I gotta sleep...

got another photoshoot this morning.. and it's already morning... oohhh... +-+

p/s : puteh, suk la tek ada dSLR??? hahahah XD

Suhuf Ibrahim

2009-08-22T13:37:00.000-07:00

Salam..

Alhamdulillah, bersua kita kembali
di alam maya ini dengan izin Allah.
Semoga para pembaca dalam keadaan sihat
iman
&
akal.

Malam pertama Ramadhan (marek)..
diturunkan
sebuah suhuf (lembaran)
daripada
Allah
kepada seorang Nabi.
Melalui perantaraan
Jibril a.s.

Nabi yang dimaksudkan itu
ialah seorang
putera A-aazar (Tarih) bin Taur bin Saruj bin Rau' bin Falij
bin
Aabir bin Syalih bin Arfakhsyad bin Saam
bin
Nuh a.s.
yang dilahirkan di sebuah tempat bernama
Faddam A'ram
di dalam kerajaan Babylon.

Nabi yang dimaksudkan itu ialah
Nabi Ibrahim a.s.
yang diberi gelaran
Khalil Ullah (sahabat Allah)

Abu Zar, seorang sahabat Nabi s.a.w yang zuhud pada suatu masa ingin tahu tentang apa yang terdapat dalam suhuf-suhuf terdahulu.
Beliau mengemukakan persoalanya itu kepada Rasulullah s.a.w dalam satu majlis dan berkata; Wahai Rasulullah !, apakah ajaran yang terdapat dalam suhuf (lembaran) yang diturunkan kepada nabi Ibrahim?.
Nabi Ibrahim telah dikurniakan suhuf yang berupa lembaran yang diturun daripada Allah. Di dalam lembaran itu terkandungan pengajaran yang disampaikan dalam bentuk perbandingan dan misalan.
Suhuf itu tidak kekal sehingga zaman nabi Muhammad s.a.w.

Oleh kerana Rasul di berikan wahyu dan ilmu tentang pristiwa-peristiwa yang terdahulu baginda dapat menjawab persoalan Abu Zar dengan jelas sekali.

"Semua didalamnya adalah perumpamaan dan misalan" kata Baginda.

Abu Zar tentu sudah tahu pada asasnya suhuf-suhuf nabi terdahulu merupakan ajaran yang turunkan Allah. Kerana itu Rasulullah s.a.w menjawab dalam bentuk method pengajaran disampaikan iaitu method permisalan.

Misalan yang pertama ialah tentang prilaku seorang raja yang zalim, menindas, angkuh, tamakkan harta dan lupa tanggunjawab.

Rasulullah s.a.w menyebut sedutan dari suhuf Ibrahim tersebut berbunyi; Wahai raja yang sombong, menindas dan rakus ! , Aku (Allah) tidak utuskan kamu untuk mengumpul dunia yang banyak, tetapi aku utuskan kamu untuk bertugas bagi pihakku mengembalikan hak orang yang dizalimi, sesungguhnya aku mengembalikannya walaupun daripada orang kafir.

Allah tidak utuskan raja untuk menindas tetapi supaya mereka menjaga hak orang yang dizalimi samada hak itu berupa harta, kebebasan dan layanan sama rata. Tetapi malangnya kebanyakan raja dan pemerintah lupa tanggungjawab dan rakus serta menindas.

Misalan kedua ialah tentang cara membahagi masa. Seorang yang cerdik dan berakal seharusnya bijak membahagikan masanya seimbang untuk pembangunan ruh dan jasadnya. Manusia perlu masa untuk bermunajat kepada tuhannya, masa untuk memuhasabah diri, masa untuk berfikir tentang kebesaran ciptaan Allah, dan masa untuk makan dan minum.

Seolah-olah Rasulullah s.a.w menujukan cakapnya kepada kita yang hidup pada hari ini apabila berkata; Seorang yang berakal seharusnya selama akalnya tidak sewel, menyusun masa-masanya kepada beberapa segmen, masa untuk masa untuk bermunajat kepada tuhannya, masa untuk menghitung diri, masa untuk berfikir tentang kebesaran ciptaan Allah, dan masa untuk makan dan minum.

Keutamaan yang dicadangkan oleh Allah dalam Suhuf Ibrahim sebagaimana dipetik oleh Rasulullah dan diceritakan kepada kita melalui hadis Abu Zar ini mungkin tidak sama dengan keutamaan yang kita buat hari ini. Kita selalunya memperuntukkan masa untuk kehidupan jasad lebih banyak dari masa yang kita peruntukkan untuk jiwa dan ruh kita. Sebab itu kita menjadi manusia yang bertubuh badan besar dan gemuk sementara ruh kita lemah dan kurus. Apa gunanya badan yang besar dan gemuk ini kepada kita? Dan apa nilai manusia yang tidak punya ruh yang tinggi?.

Misalan yang ketiga diceritakan oleh Rasulullah s.a.w daripada Suhuf Ibrahim ialah mengenai tujuan keluar dan pergi-mari seorang muslim. Menjadi kebiasaan manusia daripada zaman dahulu lagi sering keluar dan pergi kesana kemari. Manusia zaman sekarang pun keluar bahkan lebih banyak daripada orang zaman dahulu. Cuma tujuannya mungkin berbeza.

"Seorang yang berakal tidak pergi atau keluar kecuali untuk tiga tujuan; mencari bekal untuk hari kesudahan, memperbaiki mutu kehidupan dan mencari keseronokan dalam perkara yang halal". Ucap baginda menceritakan antara kandungan yang menarik terdapat dalam Suhuf Ibrahim a.s.

Pesanan Allah dalam Suhuf Ibrahim ini terasa masih segar walaupun telah beribu tahun ia diturunkan. Demikian kebenaran yang bersandar dari langit hakikatnya tidak lapuk dek masa dan tak lusuh dek hujan. Ia amat releven untuk sepanjang masa.

Cerita Rasulullah s.a.w ini amat menarik sekali. Abu Zar mendengarnya dengan tekun dan mengahafalnya dengan teliti. Beliau tidak sedikit pun cuba mencelah percakapan Rasulullah s.a.w sehingga baginda habis berbicara.

Wallahua'lam.

Sambungan Hari Tuh.. :D

2009-08-21T08:13:00.000-07:00

Salam..

Wokeyhh... Jom kita sambung
pengisian yang lalu..

Dibelenggu syaitan itu bererti
dibelenggu nafsu.

Dengan berpuasa, secara automatik
badan dan reaksi (nafsu) kita
akan menurun.
Oleh kerana adanya larangan-larangan
ketika berpuasa itu,
keinginan seseorang untuk melakukan
sesuatu yang boleh menaikkan syahwat,
atau nafsu
akan terbantut atau berkurang.
&
kita gunakan perkataan yang lebih mantap,
dibelenggu.

Ketahuilah, ketika kita berpuasa, keupayaan otak
kita untuk berfikir adalah pada tahap yang paling optimum sekali.
Disertakan pua dengan
Zikrullah, maka semakin 'Kaw' daya pemikiran
seseorang itu.

Sebaliknya berlaku jika perut kita dipenuhi dengan makanan.
Kekenyangan yang lebih hanya akan membawa
kemalasan dan hal ini secara terus meningkatkan hawa nafsu kita.

sebagaimana sebuah hadith menyatakan :

Dari ’Abdullah r.a., katanya Rasulullah s.a.w. bersabda: “Hai, para pemuda! Sesiapa di antara kamu yang telah sanggup memikul tanggungjawab berumahtangga, maka kahwinlah! Kerana perkahwinan itu dapat menundukkan mata dan kemaluan (dari dosa). Siapa yang belum sanggup, hendaklah dia berpuasa, kerana puasa itu dapat menundukkan nafsu berahi,".
(riwayat Muslim)

Sungguh jelas hadith ini membuktikan bahawa puasa itu dapat
menahan atau membelenggu
nafsu untuk melakukan dosa.

- sumber -

BAIKLAH!

Kita berhujah pula dengan satu pendapat yang lain.

Ibnu Hajr al-'Asqalani menukil dari al-Halimiy menyatakan maksud dibelenggu
syaitan itu adalah
para syaitan tidak dapat untuk menganggu
atau meyampaikan fitnah kepada umat Islam
seperti mana di bulan-bulan selain

Ramadhan al-Mubarak.

Hal ini disebabkan umat Islam
sibuk akan urusan berpuasa, membaca al-Quran & berzikir
yang melemahkan syahwat.

haaa... ada sik kita baca al-Quran nul Kareem or berzikir time posa?
tepuk dada tanyalah iman.. :)

insya Allah, pengisian kali ini akan berakhir esok hari sempena dengan permulaan
bulan
Ramadhan al-Mubarak.

so, part 3 la esok eh...
ade lagi pendapat-pendapt lain.

Insya Allah, bersua kita sekali lagi esok hari di dalam alam maya ini. :)

psst: Jangan lupa niat! :D

Mereka Tak Dikandang..Cuma Kita Dipelihara.

2009-08-19T18:46:00.000-07:00

Salam.

Aieeee... tang pelik jak ow bunyi post ya. Apa ndak ka
dikata dolah tok koh..

"dolah koh...~" sora abg mukmin. senior kolej.
pegewei di Bank Islam. haha :D

Astaghfirullah hal adzim...

Marhaban Ya Ramadhan.

Alhamdulillah.. Sik lamak gik,
kita akan bersua kembali
dengan bulan yang penuh
Kemuliaan..

Ramadhan al-Mubarak

yey! :D

Setelah sekian lama ana tak guna
B. Melayu standard...
ish3..

Jadi, pengisian kali ni, ana nak kongsi
dengan para pembaca sekalian
mengenai satu perkara yang telah menjadi
sinonim pabila datangnya
bulan yang penuh kemuliaan ini.

Tajuk di atas...

Apakah ertinya?
Apakah maksud yang ingin disampaikan?

Mari sama-sama kita telusuri..

"Mereka tak di kandang.."

Siapa mereka?
Mereka itu boleh digunakan untuk merujuk
kepada sesiapa, sesuatu.
Tak kira yang haiwan
manusia
tumbuhan
meskipun yang ghaib.

"Kandang.."

Apa pula yang dimaksudkan?
Lihat, apabila kita
kaitkan perkataan
bulan puasa/ ramadhan/
"kandang." itu secara automatik
akan terlintas di fikiran kita
"syaitan"

Ya...

"mereka" itu adalah syaitan2.

Jadi, pabila datangnya Ramadhan...
Bukankah...

Mereka ini di ikat?
Di kandang di dalam
Neraka?

Itulah ideologi yang sering tumbuh
di dalam pemikiran majoriti
muslim & muslimah kini..

sedikit yang kita mengerti
bahawa istilah di ikat
atau
di kandang itu sebanarnya
merujuk kepada mereka itu
di ikat daripada
mereka yang berpuasa.

Haa..

Fikirkanlah,
kalaulah semua syaitan di ikat,
di kandang
di dalam Neraka
semestinya kejahatan di dunia
nie tak ada.

Maksud yang ingin disampaikan
ialah..

Syaitan yang di maksudkan
adalah bukannya
syaitan yang kita fahami dengan umum.
Ramai yang tersilap faham akan
beberapa hadith yang mengatakan
syaitan itu dibelenggu di dalam neraka.

Dari Abu Hurairah r.a. bersabda Rasulallah S.A.W. : " Bila bulan ramadhan telah datang, maka dibuka pintu syurga, dikunci pintu neraka dan dibelenggu semua syaitan. "

(riawayat Muslim)

Apa yang dimaksudkan oleh Baginda S.A.W. adalah
nafsu.
Dalam hadith tersebut
syaitan = nafsu

get it?

tapi kenapa? Why?

WHY?

*some text missing*

to be continued

maaf eh... idea semakin pudar.. nanti2 sambung lagi..

Making Beginners Looking Pro. Well, almost...

2009-08-16T07:02:00.000-07:00

Salam..

My posting speeds are gradually decreasing I suppose.. haha.
Well, there's been a visit from Lazyness lately. Can't seem to jerk away from it though. Huh.

Well, this post is basically to share my "beginner" class photography with all of you. Im gonna help
you guys out there who wants their photos to look, well, to the professional side.
Everybody loves a great photo. Great photos can come from anyone.

In this matter, Im going to lean more towards dSLR users. There are some great tips and tricks in making pictures that you take looks more brilliant, & eye-catching. As a dSLR users myself, RAW pictures taken are quite descent looking. But, you can always take your passion for photography a leap foward.

Things That You Need:

1. a dSLR of course.
2. lenses.
3. Photoshop elements/Cs3
4. Filters (if possible) -Mainly for landscape.
5. tripod / monopod (if your hands are shaky)

These are some photos taken by myself. Using Photoshop Elements 6 , I kinda tweak a couple of things.

after...

This is one of the cats that wonders around my grandparents house at Riam. I was just sitting on a single stair tile next to it when she suddenly posses and sitting still.

with EFS 18-55mm lens. Manual Focus.
I took the shot with Shutterspeed priority, 1/4 Tv, 5.0 aperture, and ISO 400. With no tripod.
forgot to bring. guuhh..

I used Photoshop Elements to monotone it. Changing its Levels, Colour Curves.
Magentic Lasso tool is used to separate the cat from the backround.
This is to easily making the background dark & black. That way,
it's a lot easier to realise the style that you want
your image to turn up.
For the upper whiskers, I used the Cloning tool. Because it kinda went missing during the procsess.

Now, what's important in editing images that you took is to feel right.
Try to adjust simple things first before you do the complex editing.
Remember, images that you take represents the moment that you capture.

Know Your Camera

In photography, you got to know your camera.
Know it like it's your bestfriend, or girlfriend.
Be the camera.
Taste the camera.
Feel the camera.
Hug the camera.
Feed the camera.

Okay, that sounds kinda wierd..but really you need to have that BOND with your camera
in order to produce extravagent illusive masterpieces.
It's like, Karma.. haha.

Now, for Canon users,
the build in auto adjustment things are kinda crappy and the photo
quality is not optimum, and sometimes, kinda crap.

I recommend beginners such as me to train and use the Creative zone.
Which is, the Tv (Shutter priority), P (programe), Av (Aperture priority),
M (Manual), A-DEP (mainly for depth of field).

Note:

The higher the shutter, example : 1/50 and above, produces dark images if there is no
sunlight. (indoors)
Same goes for Aperture, the smaller the aperture opening, example : f15 and above.
The higer the ISO, the brighter your images will be BUT with the cost of noises.

Noise are small pixels that seems to be out of texture.
The more they are, the crappier it looks.
You can always reduce , or even eliminate it using the noise reducer tool.

Making Macro

If you love tiny things, or close-ip shooting, then, Macro's are best for you.
There are Lenses out there that is meant for Macro's.
If you are a Macro enthusiasts. But you can still use regular lenses as well.

after..

This image is taken with EFS 18-55mm lens at 1/200 Tv, f5.6, Center-weighted metering,
55mm.

Edited it Photoshop Elements. Originaly the photo is taken with the built-in monochrome
picture style. I then changed it's Levels, Colour Curves, Brightness/Contrast and Adjust Sharpness.
Later I used the Gradient tool to achive those black corners.
Those black corners is a good way in making the subject you want
viewers to focus. In this case, the twig.
It's actually a plastic twig of a plastic flower.

I'll be sharing a lot more of my experience in posts to come. Okay!

Feel free to comment via the comment post'er or the chatbox. :D

B..be...b.. Boikot?!

2009-08-03T12:01:00.000-07:00

Islam , ad-Deenul Haqq.

Apsal nak boikot byk2 skalipun? klau kite sendiri tak tau atau tak pasti yang mana benar yang mana tak? Zaman Islam dulu, time bila kita seUmmah, ade tak mereka main boikot2 nie? .. setakat gencatan senjata ade la... renung2kan lah.. Kalau lah kite kini se Ummah, none of this would have happen. Inilah akibat manusia berpaling arah daripada hududullah.

nak sambung, lagi pun , byk brg yg kite guna skrg nie pun brg2 yg "patut" di boikot. Face it, takkan berkesan boikot2 nie klau kite sendiri tak se Ummah melawan mereka.. nak boikot supaya mereka bankrup? takde duit? fikirk anlah, byk lagi dari sumber2 lain yg mereka boleh guna. Nie, paling jelas, Arab Saudi, bukan main kaya minyak, tpi ikut telunjuk musuh. jatuh ke lembah judi, etc. Mcm mane nak m aju suma, kalau tak se Ummah? bukan aku nak kata tak perlu buat benda2 camtu, tapi kalau tak ber Ummah, tak pegi ke mane pun.. Ummah, Ummah, Ummah.. Rasulallah SAW sendiri lafazkan ketika nyawa di halkum baginda, Ummati, Ummati, Ummati... Ummatku, Ummatku, Ummatku, .... Ummah! woi....

nak sambung lagi, tengok! jiran Falastin sendiri tak nak bantu! setakat nak bantu dari segi medical? Tiap2 hari mereka bom, mereka tembak, nak truskan jgak? Kenape tak hantar Mujahid? Demokrasi konon~ haaa... itulah salah satu senjata musuh Islam, demokrasi.. nak buat konsert amal? nak buat tabung kemanusiaan? tak menjadi weih kalau tak de UMMAH! pegi hantar duit beribu2, dua tiga minggu kemudiaan, makin bertambah yang mati , yang cedera. ape mcm? dunia tak sehaluan? tak de Ummah? mcm nie la~!!! saudara sendiri terseksa, merana... sebab apa? takde Ummah.

"Oleh itu hendaklah engkau bersabar menerima hukum Tuhanmu (memberi tempoh kepada golongan yang menentangmu) dan janganlah engkau menurut kehendak orang yang berdosa di antara mereka atau orang yang kufur ingkar." (al-Insaan; ayat 24)

Sapa yang kita ikuti skrg ? hmm. Hukum Allah, atau Hukum manusia? Sama2 lah kita fikirkan. Dalam apa jua tindakan, kesabaran mesti ada.

"Oleh itu bersabarlah (wahai Muhammad) akan apa yang dikatakan oleh mereka (yang menentangmu itu) dan bertasbihlah sambil memuji Tuhanmu (terutama) sebelum terbit matahari dan sebelum matahari terbenam." (Surah Qaaf; ayat 39) ...

"Sesungguhnya Allah mengasihi orang-orang yang berperang untuk membela agamaNya, dalam barisan yang teratur rapi, seolah-olah mereka sebuah bangunan yang tersusun kukuh." (as-Saff ; ayat 4)

semoga kita dalam redha Ilahi sentiasa, dalam apa pun bentuk perjuangan kita, satu yang penting, adalah fisabilillah. Perjuangan kerna Allah. :) Insya Allah, Islam kembali dengan "Ummah".

itulah dia, hukum manusia yang kita ikuti skrg ialah demokrasi. Satu senjata senyap musuh2 utk mnjatuhkan Islam. Ya la tek, insya Allah, kebenaran akan tersebar juak klak. :)

Bosnia Punyai Piramid

2009-06-29T10:28:00.000-07:00

Assalamualaikum & Selamat Sejahtera..

Baruk jak lekak nangga Don't Tell My Mother (National Geographic) tek yang menceritakan tentang Bosnia / Serbia / Yugoslavia / Albania / etc. Ada sebuah part lam ceta ya tek nya paparkan mengenai wujudnya sebuah Piramid (Pyramid) di tanah Bosnia. Wah~ baruk kamek tauk koh... jahilnya diri tok...

Rancangan Don' Tell My Mother yang dihostkan oleh Diego Bunuel , mengisahkan keadaan hidup para penduduk , keadaan geograpi , benda-benda aneh dan pelik serta ngeho (paranormal) rah negara-negara pada masa kinek tok / dolok yang menghadapi kemelut politik , peperangan etc.

-Diego Bunuel , pengacara Don't Tell My Mother.

So, that particular part provokes some part of my brain to post this topic for general viewing. *aaa....okay*

Piramid (Pyramid) ya tek terletak di kawasan Visocica (Visosika) Hill , berdekatan bandar Visoko , utara barat (northwest) Sarajevo (Sarayevo).

-Semir Osmanagic , orang nok jumpa ngan kata bukit ya Piramid (Pyramid).

Semir Osmanagic (Semer Osmanajik) , adalah orang yang mempublisikan bahawasannya bukit yang selama tok dianggap bukit adalah sebenarnya sebuah Piramid (Pyramid) orang dolok-kala bina. Nya juak merik nama Piramid-piramid (Pyramids) ya:

Pyramid of The Sun
Pyramid of The Moon
Pyramid of The Dragon (Bosnia)
Pyramid of The Earth
ada gik lain rasanya... sik ingat gilak nama ... and sik tauk..

Osmanagic kedirik membiyayai excavation ya atas minat dan ingin tahu.

Meskipun kewujudan Piramid Bosnia (Bosnian Pyramids) tidak disahkan oleh para archeologists dunia , masih terdapat beberapa bukti yang boleh kita kata "kukuh" untuk Piramid (Pyramid) tok tek wujud dan nya memang Piramid (Pyramid). Antara bukti ya tek nok nya ngeso lam rancangan tek :

ada terowong , vendalation system.
batu besar yang ada crack tgh-tgh yang nya kata melambangkan duak sungey (sungai) kat Bosnia.
Rupa bentuk batu buatan manusia.
nang rupa bukit ya kedak Piramid (Pyramid) .. ney gaya nak?

Sik duli la gilak apa nok dikata oleh sidak "expert" dalam bidang tok , sebab , setiap orang molah salah. Nak sik? Dan salah ya mungkin si Osmanagic tek or sidak nok nganuknya penipu.. Wallahualam. Masih banyak gik benda di dunia towk kita sik pashti , kita sik tauk , kita sik kenal etc.

Insya Allah, klau da benda nok pelik-pelik , aneh-aneh , ngeho , etc. klak kamek post. :)

Assalamualaikum

(Walaupun demikian), ada juga di antara manusia yang mengambil selain dari Allah (untuk menjadi) sekutu-sekutu (Allah), mereka mencintainya, (memuja dan mentaatinya) sebagaimana mereka mencintai Allah; sedang orang-orang yang beriman itu lebih cinta (taat) kepada Allah dan kalaulah orang-orang yang melakukan kezaliman (syirik) itu mengetahui ketika mereka melihat azab pada hari akhirat kelak, bahawa sesungguhnya kekuatan dan kekuasaan itu semuanya tertentu bagi Allah dan bahawa sesungguhnya Allah Maha berat azab seksaNya, (nescaya mereka tidak melakukan kezaliman itu). - al-Baqarah (2:165)

Nampak baik. Nampak 'abid. Nampak alim. Indah hati mengenang , indah mata memandang. Si Hawa bertudung labuh , menutup aurat. Si Adam pula beserban dan berjubah.

Apakah gunanya jika kita berjubah , berserban , berpurdah , berhijab labuh , hanya sekadar untuk menyejukkan pandangan manusia ? di sebalik Qalb nya , hmmf ... Terpahat nafsu untuk mencari pasangan bermanja walaupun bukan mahramnya. Menutup aurat semata-mata meraih pandangan manusia. Memukau dengan keindahan. Syarat menggapai ikatan yang murni hancur berderai tatkala perangai bagai tiada maruah.

Salam~

It's all about the Games!!! Yes , video game enthusiasts , posts that are yet to come are all about video games...

It has been a almost a week since the E3 (Electronic & Entertainment Expo) ended in LA but those continuous bombardment of "promising" great titles are still echoing throughout the nation of gamers. In this year's E3 , developers of various names struggle to promote their latest installments of past franchises as well as upcoming new titles as the competition of delivering a "Great" game takes up to a new level. Some introducing new and innovative games , as others strive to correct past mistakes..

Tons of Great titles are announced there in E3 , most of which are going to be released within this year (so they say).Hmm... we'll see about that.. In sight of which , there's a sequel to Assassin's Creed , Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell , Modern Warfare , God of War III etc. etc.

All of them , are set , said and promised , to be better than their previous predecessor and providing new gameplay experience. Most are going to max out! the capability of present powerful consoles , X360 , Ps3 , in terms of graphics , sound , controls , game play and other essential ingredients.

Not left by the pact , upcoming PC games are still kicking ass (either good or bad way) as most of the big titles for the consoles are also available for those PC fans... (that's me).. Hey, who can argue that PC are still and will be the best gaming machine. Am I right? *yes* haha :D . Well, it depends on individuals actually.

Enough with the yada yad and the yudu yudu . Get to the List already!

*yes subconcious me, I will obey*

"Hey! High five , high five!"

Here are the List of *some* Upcoming Titles-

Most Anticipated (by my point of view)

Modern Warfare 2 (Call of Duty) - If you fantasise being a Special Soldier guy,this game is for you..
God of War III - Bald bladed blood thirsty anti-hero enraged son is back!
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell : Conviction - Man does he look old.
Left 4 Dead 2 - "When we run out of bullets , you'd wished we had one"
Assassin's Creed 2 - The bloodline of assassins continues~
Mass Effect 2 - Universal socialisation with umm~ purple women?

Sports & Racing

Fifa 10 - So that's how it feels to control famous players.
Fight Night Round 4 - A drop of saliva can now be seen.
Need for Speed Shift - Ma!! I got myself an Enzo!
Dirt 2 - It's safer taking racing off road.. neglecting razor sharp rocks , hard trees , 100 ft fall.... yes.. it's safer...

and lots more!!!!

Well, I'll be off now.. Next post I will type about some of the games.. not all.. some.. *maybe*

Live Long & Prosper
