Rahimah Rahim - Doa

I guess this is a suitable pre- Eidul Adha post...

A touching lyric.

Hopefully this will help to remind us & bring us closer to Allah s.w.t, The Most Gracious, Most Merciful...

* Lyrics in Malay

 *****

Hanya padaMu aku meminta

Sesungguhnya Kau pemurah

Ampuni segala dosaku..

Kesejahteraan, kedamaian...

Keimanan, ketaqwaan...

Pintaku dariMu Tuhan

Selawat serta salam

buat Nabi junjungan

kepada muslimin dan juga muslimat

Ya Allah Ya Tuhanku

aku mendengar seruan

dan hanya kepadaMu ku beriman

KeranaMu aku disini

KepadaMu aku kembali

Apabila tiba saatnya nanti

Sehingga tiba detik itu

Ku bermohon hanya dariMu

Engkau peliharailah diriku

Dengan namaMu Allah Yang Agung

Yang Pengasih Yang Pengampun

kepadaMu ku berlindung

*****

Salam Aidil Adha everyone.
May all the sacrifices we have made or going to make is all because of Allah.
InsyaAllah.

Sultan Abdul Samad building at night (Kuala Lumpur)

I passed by this building on my way home last night. This building is always beautiful at night. It's always lighted with colours. Some nights, it's lighted with different colours, but tonight, only purple. I usually don't stop to admire its view. But last night I did... and I can share the view with you guys :)

There were a few other cars parked by the roadside. All of them, were also taking photographs of this building with their DSLR...

I was only armed with my phone camera :p

Nevertheless, the pictures are still good & I want to share it here.

Enjoy!

Note: Samsung galaxy Note 10.1 camera does not produce a good picture quality.

Tennis: Malaysian Open 2012

I got a chance to watch tennis Malaysian Open finals on Sunday, thanks to Miss A. Salleh. I'm not a tennis fan, but I went coz Miss A. Salleh asked me to, it was a free ticket & I've never watched tennis match before. I know nothing about tennis, except the fact that the players are rich & some of them are very hot :p

As I told Miss A.Salleh, my knowledge of tennis players stopped at Boris Becker, Martina Navratilova, Andre Agassi & Steffi Graf...

and of course her jaw dropped... hihihiiii...

For someone like me, who is not a tennis fan, watching tennis is tiring. Although there were some exciting parts. I did enjoy my time during the games. Sometimes, I was more excited than the tennis fan beside me :) But to be honest, there were quite a few times during the games where I asked myself... when is this going to end??? The games seemed to go on forever... 

And my lower back already hurting from sitting too long... (such a weak lower back :p)

But, that is also the part where tennis players impressed me most. They can play for so long... The singles final match lasted for almost 3 hours. Such stamina! 

... and they served at >120km/h everytime! Such strength!

Such an impressive sport!

To tennis players, I salute you for your strength & stamina (not to forget how hot Rafael Nadal is :p).

To tennis fan, I salute your endurance for watching the game :)

I'll go to the game again... if I got free tickets of course. Plus, it is always enjoyable being around sports fans.

They are such a sport!

The score stayed this way for about 20 minutes.

I miss photo hunting...

Oly & I in action... once upon a time...

It has been so long since I last spent time with my beloved camera...

The last entry in my Flickr photostream was on 23-Dec-2011.

I haven't been photo hunting since... aihhh...

I need to go get some photography action...

The question is... where should I go hunting???

Hmmm...

Oh, how I miss you...

Salmon Fishing in The Yemen, Big Miracle & The Hunter

... are three must watch movies.
... all three movies involved animals...
... salmons, gray whales & a tasmanian tiger.
... all three are touching, motivating & full of values.
... my favorite is 'Salmon Fishing in The Yemen'... it's original, intriguing, sweet, touching, smart, funny etc... it's just wonderful. I didn't fast forward at all. Haven't watched a movie like this in a long time. I love it!
... 'Big Miracle' is based on a very inspiring true story that happened back in 1988. 'There is always something that we can do'. That is so true!
... 'The Hunter' is based on a novel set in Tasmania, Australia. Wonderful landscapes... A movie that sparked my curiosity. But, a little sad.
... movie trailers below, for your preview :)

I'm glad I found the time during my surprisingly productive three days weekend to watch these movies.
Enjoy! I hope you'll love these movies as much as I did :)

London 2012

http://www.london2012.com/country/malaysia/medals/index.html is a must visit website for me since Olympic 2012 started. This link is clicked each time with a hope to see an entry there...

That page has been empty each time I clicked it.

But tonight, there is an entry there :) A silver entry by Dato' Lee Chong Wei from the Badminton arena.

All of us were hoping for a gold. Malaysians are disappointed when Lin Dan snatched the gold medal from all of us. But, watching the way Dato' Lee Chong Wei played tonight, the disappointment doesn't feel that heavy. He has tried his best. He is the best to us.

We'll get that gold next time :)

I just hope the newspapers won't write anything negative tomorrow. If they do, I would say it's just so typical of them... and maybe we should send them to compete in the Olympics & see how they performed... Urrghhh...

Dato' Lee Chong Wei, CONGRATULATIONS! We love you!

Wuhuhuuuuuuu...

Lagu 'Janji Ditepati'... nak komen sikitlah :)

*In Malay*
Siapa belum dengar lagu ni, boleh la click 'Play'. Kat link Youtube ni, ada liriknya sekali:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DG--QGXqnlM



Sedap jugak lagu ni. Catchy... Rasa macam nak 'shake my body' bila dengar... hihihiii... Beat dia best. Suka!

Tapi, bab lirik ni... adui la haiii... Especially part 'Kini masa balas budi' tu...

Errr... bukan tak bersyukur, bukan tak mengenang budi...

Cuma... bukankah semua yang dilakukan itu adalah atas sebab itulah sebenarnya tanggungjawab?

Budi yang ditabur, minta dibalas?

Hmmm...

Kita masih belum menguasai ilmu ikhlas...

Hari Kebangsaan... Hari yang sepatutnya menjadi nadi kekuatan & untuk mengingatkan kita kembali kepada betapa sukarnya tanahair kita mencapai kemerdekaan seolah- olah dipolitikkan.

Ini boleh memudarkan warna biru pada Jalur Gemilang.

Itu saya tidak suka. Sangat tidak suka.
