adDu'a for Pakcik Norkhair

My parents just came back from the hospital from visiting Pakcik. We received news tadi at around about after 'isya' and a bit more that he collapsed sometime after maghrib. He's in a state of coma and according to my mom on the level of 8/15. Cause is unknown. Strokes might be possible but not confirmed as yet.

Pakcik is one of my best friends' father and also my father's friend. We've known him and his family since I was very small. He's a jovial guy who can relate to any person regardless of age.

Everyone especially those who know him, please, please, please pray for him. May Allah help him regain health. Your du'as would probably count, especially in this month of Ramadhan.

Issues of Statement and Source?

Here's a statement I got from an email:

What can we eat nowadays?


Dear OREO Luvers,

For those who can't read Mandarin, here is the translated version
of the article attached below:

OREO CONTAINING TRANS FAT BRINGS DAMAGES TO HEALTH

An attorney from California filed a lawsuit against Krafts,
stating that OREO produced by the company not only causes damages in
health, but also dishonestly promote their products; requesting the company to
halt the sales of OREO in the market.

OREO contains hydrogenated oil or Trans fats, to prolong the
storage of the biscuit, but at the mean time increase the consumption of
BAD CHOLESTEROL, increasing the possibility of diabetes and heart disease.

INCREASE IN CONSUMPTION OF CHOLESTEROL

Although the research on Trans Fats affecting health has not been
concluded, the national institute of science research states that any
amount of Trans Fats consumed is not safe.

So far... THE BAN is UNCONFIRMED. They have only filed a lawsuit... Whether or not the lawsuit is passed is another story. And even that is only in California. Not the US as a whole or even Europe.

Edit: The BAN LAWSUIT has BEEN DROPPED. See edit details.

Here's a quote:

Oreo cookies should be banned from sale to children in California, according to a lawsuit filed by a San Francisco attorney who claims that trans fat -- the stuff that makes the chocolate cookies crisp and their filling creamy -- is so dangerous children shouldn't eat it.

Those are the sources found. Ok. My point is not that you can't distribute news like this. Only do it with the correct statement AND with the right source. Distribution of news/stories that are incorrect/unfounded/baseless/gossips are what makes the Ummah's knowledge foundation weak. In goes on and on... Old mysticism not fully dispelled and new ones appear already.

The other thing is the need for us to verify news before passing it on to others. This is on the basis of guarding what is right. This is also on the basis of NOT spreading lies.

Allahua'lam...

Edit details: Yup it has been dropped. But it's true that it's only in California and not in all US and Europe. The article mentioned in the alternative source mentions it.

Edit 2: Ya Allah... I keep finding inconsistencies here. Sheesh. Amendments made.

PIcs at Kolam Air

I turned up some more things in my comp. Here's another KRj thingy... This was a motivation program at Sekolah Kolam Air, BP. That's about all the task force at the time. I also remember that we (guys only!) slept at my mum's temporary house right across the road. She worked in HBP for about a year and a bit last year. And at the time she wasn't using it, so it was empty and waiting to be filled by us... Hahaha!




Me! This pic was taken for the introduction session "Knowing Me Knowing You." Been a looooong time since I seen this one. Heh! How'd I look? *smirks like the pic*

The First Trip To Taman Negara Endau-Rompin

I looked through my Picasa picture albums and look what I found!

This was the time when the KRj team went to Endau-Rompin National Park to do a bit of 'recce'-ing. KRj didn't actually get to hold any activities here though. But the effort wasn't wasted. Other groups took up the challenge to camp there after our pioneering mission. I also went there eventually for camping with some friends.

Find me in stripes! Have fun!

The Blue Dome

Hey, hey... Here's the Famous UTM Blue Dome. Nope... It ain't no sport stadium... Rather the opposite; it's a MASJID!


And here's the pic again enhanced...

Are you a LEADER? The quiz taken...

I just took a quiz for the Co-Q Leadrship Leadership class.

Wow... Been a long time since I had to write THAT much. Hahah~!






What?
You thought this entry was a quiz on leadership?

Naaaaah~! =Þ

To DO... Or NOT to do?

I got this offer...

To build an online system for national access. Kinda cool. But I don't have no teammates to do it with yet.

So... Question: Should I ACCEPT? Or NOT?

Tarbiyyah Fii Ramadhan?

Hmm...
Think, think, think...

What is it?
Ramadhan is a madrasah...
One for reassembling and recollecting your faith and fikrah.

Rebuild your faith.


BuuuUUT... It only works if you want it to.

Now the question...
DO YOU WANT IT TO?

Lalalala! PSM WOohOo!

PSM Journal: Dropped for this semester... Now I can focus on other things!

Ramadhan journal: Darn, a week after and I'm lagging?! Darn again... Maybe it was better if had to walk...

On second thoughts...
