Serik Dah..

Sunyi.

Senyap.

Perfect.

Dalam masa-masa dunia orang dah tak hirau pasal hal-hal berkenaan haiwan akuatik,aku nak mengenengahkan satu cerita yang aku baru je tahu tadi. Tengah syok menukar siaran televisyen, mencari program yang mampu menarik minat anak-anak muda macam aku ni, tiba-tiba aku terjumpa satu siaran yang menarik perhatian.

Pernah dengar pasal ikan keli? Dan dengan tekad yang bersungguh-sungguh aku ingin memberitahu bahawa aku tidak akan menjamah lagi sebarang ikan keli. Well, pernah jugak ada terdengar atok nenek cerita orang kaya-kaya tak makan ikan keli. Kononnya sebab macam kotor la mengikut habitat ikan keli tu kan. Tapi aku ni salah seorang penggemar ikan keli. Hehe..

Masak lemak,masak berlada, goreng,asam pedas. Sedap weyh! Hehe..

Dan segala kesedapan itu berakhir setelah aku tahu cara penternakan sebenar ikan keli tersebut di suatu tempat di Malaysia. Ikan keli yang diternak banyak-banyak sekali tu, yang dok ada kolam ikan tu, diberi makan. Tapi diberi makan apa? Ha,ni yang nak habaq mai ni.

Kau tahu tak ikan keli ternak tu diberi makan bangkai-bangkai ayam yang semestinya haram di sisi agama. Lebih menjijikkan, bangkai-bangkai ayam tu dikisar bulat-bulat macam tu je sekali dengan bulu ayam, segala bahan cernaan dalam badan ayam tu dikisar terus sampai sebati dan tak nampak rupa sebenarnya. Akhirnya, bahan kisar tu di bentuk jadi macam bahan makanan berbentuk macam kotak,kasi campak dalam kolam ikan, ikan-ikan tu semua pun makan.

Eeeeuuwww!!! Ikan tu makan bangkai weyh! Lepas tu dah membesar sihat, terus penternak ikan ni pun jual kat pasar. Orang pun beli. Dan masak sedap sedap lalu makan dengan riangnya. Tak tahu ikan yang mereka beli tu makan bangkai. Dan sejak hari ni, aku dan satu keluarga bertekad tidak akan menyentuh ikan keli lagi walau di mana kami berada. *Woah..semangat ni!*

Tolonglah faham. Tak boleh ke nak jadi pengusaha yang mengamalkan kebersihan? Ingat kau sorang je nak untung? Hilanglah sumber-sumber protein daripada ikan tu kalau macam tu lah gaya kau ternak ikan.

p/s : Serius rasa macam nak muntah ikan keli sekarang ni.

Amazing Facts about Dream.

I had a very rare nap earlier today. During that nap I had a lucid dream (most of which I no longer remember). As I was waking up, I was thinking about my dream and thought that it would be a great idea to search and peacefully write something closely related to dreams. And I've made some research(getting very diligent nowadays,didn't I?). The content and purpose of dreams are not fully understood, though they have been a topic of speculation and interest throughout recorded history.This is what I've found. And the credit goes to the owner. Let's put on some new data,folks.

10. Blind People Dream

People who become blind after birth can see images in their dreams. People who are born blind do not see any images, but have dreams equally vivid involving their other senses of sound, smell, touch and emotion. It is hard for a seeing person to imagine, but the body’s need for sleep is so strong that it is able to handle virtually all physical situations to make it happen.

9. You Forget 90% of your Dreams

Within 5 minutes of waking, half of your dream is forgotten. Within 10, 90% is gone. The famous poet, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, woke one morning having had a fantastic dream (likely opium induced) – he put pen to paper and began to describe his “vision in a dream” in what has become one of English’s most famous poems: Kubla Khan. Part way through (54 lines in fact) he was interrupted by a “Person from Porlock“. Coleridge returned to his poem but could not remember the rest of his dream. The poem was never completed.

Curiously, Robert Louis Stevenson came up with the story of Doctor Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde whilst he was dreaming. Wikipedia has more on that here. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein was also the brainchild of a dream.

8. Everybody Dreams

Every human being dreams (except in cases of extreme psychological disorder) but men and women have different dreams and different physical reactions. Men tend to dream more about other men, while women tend to dream equally about men and women. In addition, both men and women experience sexually related physical reactions to their dreams regardless of whether the dream is sexual in nature.

7. Dreams Prevent Psychosis

In a recent sleep study, students who were awakened at the beginning of each dream, but still allowed their 8 hours of sleep, all experienced difficulty in concentration, irritability, hallucinations, and signs of psychosis after only 3 days. When finally allowed their REM sleep the student’s brains made up for lost time by greatly increasing the percentage of sleep spent in the REM stage. [Source]

6. We Only Dream of What We Know

Our dreams are frequently full of strangers who play out certain parts – did you know that your mind is not inventing those faces – they are real faces of real people that you have seen during your life but may not know or remember? The evil killer in your latest dream may be the guy who pumped petrol in to your Dad’s car when you were just a little kid. We have all seen hundreds of thousands of faces through our lives, so we have an endless supply of characters for our brain to utilize during our dreams.

5. Not Everyone Dreams in Color

A full 12% of sighted people dream exclusively in black and white. The remaining number dream in full color. People also tend to have common themes in dreams, which are situations relating to school, being chased, running slowly or in place, sexual experiences, falling, arriving too late, a person now alive being dead, teeth falling out, flying, failing an examination, or a car accident. It is unknown whether the impact of a dream relating to violence or death is more emotionally charged for a person who dreams in color than one who dreams in black and white. [Source]

4. Dreams are not about what they are about

If you dream about some particular subject it is not often that the dream is about that. Dreams speak in a deeply symbolic language. The unconscious mind tries to compare your dream to something else, which is similar. Its like writing a poem and saying that a group of ants were like machines that never stop. But you would never compare something to itself, for example: “That beautiful sunset was like a beautiful sunset”. So whatever symbol your dream picks on it is most unlikely to be a symbol for itself.

3. Quitters have more vivid dreams

People who have smoked cigarettes for a long time who stop, have reported much more vivid dreams than they would normally experience. Additionally, according to the Journal of Abnormal Psychology: “Among 293 smokers abstinent for between 1 and 4 weeks, 33% reported having at least 1 dream about smoking. In most dreams, subjects caught themselves smoking and felt strong negative emotions, such as panic and guilt. Dreams about smoking were the result of tobacco withdrawal, as 97% of subjects did not have them while smoking, and their occurrence was significantly related to the duration of abstinence. They were rated as more vivid than the usual dreams and were as common as most major tobacco withdrawal symptoms.” [Source]

2. External Stimuli Invade our Dreams

g

This is called Dream Incorporation and it is the experience that most of us have had where a sound from reality is heard in our dream and incorporated in some way. A similar (though less external) example would be when you are physically thirsty and your mind incorporates that feeling in to your dream. My own experience of this includes repeatedly drinking a large glass of water in the dream which satisfies me, only to find the thirst returning shortly after – this thirst… drink… thirst… loop often recurs until I wake up and have a real drink. Same goes to when you experience going to the toilet for the nature's call but it keeps on recurs though you have done that for so many times in your dream. (Okay, I've never experienced this)

1. You are paralyzed while you sleep

Believe it or not, your body is virtually paralyzed during your sleep – most likely to prevent your body from acting out aspects of your dreams. According to theWikipedia article on dreaming, “Glands begin to secrete a hormone that helps induce sleep and neurons send signals to the spinal cord which cause the body to relax and later become essentially paralyzed.”

Bonus: Extra Facts

1. When you are snoring, you are not dreaming.
2. Toddlers do not dream about themselves until around the age of 3. From the same age, children typically have many more nightmares than adults do until age 7 or 8.
3. If you are awakened out of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, you are more likely to remember your dream in a more vivid way than you would if you woke from a full night sleep.

------------------

As for me,this is what I would say. Dreams are symbolically have many interpretations ; according to the way you wish. Though it should be clearly explained why it is classified as an abstract. And even up until today, there is no scientists could scientifically prove the mystery that lies beneath it. Well,there is nothing much to be bother. Just keep on dreaming. Trust me, nothing could be better than to experience your own dream. It gives a perfect blend of colours in life. Because you won't be having the same dream as your mother,aren't you?

Penemuan Baru.

Setelah diperkenalkan oleh Farah Adiba Azmy , si hamba Allah yang menggelarkan diri dia sebagai "matluthfi90" dekat channel YouTube ni, aku pun mula la layan semua video dia. Kepada yang tak tahu dan tak kenal serta pelik haram jadah siapakah lelaki ni, dia ni adalah seorang vlogger. Sama macam Anwar Hadi dan juga nigahiga. Mula-mula tu tengok macam tak best. Lama-lama layan semua video dia,serius la cakap. Dia lagi lawak kot daripada Anwar Hadi. Semua video dia stok boleh gelak guling-guling la kan. Tapi dua-dua pun aku minat. Kagum kot dengan mereka berdua ni. Both of them are studying in Australia. Give it a try. Mesti akan gelak. Because I did. =D

p/s : Duh,sekarang aku tengah batak semua lagu-lagu band The Script. The Man Who Can't Be Moved. Ketinggalan kan? Hehe. Lantak pi lah. Hari-hari dengar. =)

The Worst Prediction.

Today wasn't like those days back then. With the changing of the calendar, everyone becomes a Nostradamus, expounding their technology predictions for 2008. In order to put this flood of prophecies into some context, here are some of the worse predictions of all time. I found this while doing my website-seeing. And they are just spectacular. To make it worst, some predictions, I should say,were kind of absurd. You don't believe me? Just read them through and you'll nodded your head to me. As usual,those in the brackets(..) are my thoughts and the others are just a statement made by them.

1. YouTube will go nowhere
"There's just not that many videos I want to watch," lamented Steve Chen, a co-founder of YouTube, in March 2005. At the time YouTube featured about 50 videos. Less than two years later, on November 13 2006, Google acquired YouTube for US$1.65 billion in Google stock. (Okay, I love watching YouTube. And thousands people out there are just like me. How can say YouTube will go nowhere?)

2. The Millennium Bug
This is not attributed to anyone in particular, but rather anyone and everyone with a propensity to fear the worst. Yes, you -- you that began stocking canned food and rifle ammunition in your basement right before New Year's Eve 1999. While some considerable funds were spent to protect against any problems, and around the world a few minor faults were reported, it certainly wasn't the end of human civilisation as some had feared.

3. The death of the iPod
Over the years, many have predicted the iPod would be a fad: most famously Amstrad founder, Sir Alan Sugar, who said in February 2005 that by "next Christmas the iPod will be dead, finished, gone, kaput". Of course today the iPod continues to power along, with Apple claiming to have sold over 100 million units. (Ohoho.. Just so you know,people are still trying to get this awesome iPod in store right now!)

4. Photocopiers are niche
"The world potential market for copying machines is 5,000 at most," IBM told the eventual founders of Xerox in 1959. According to Wikipedia, by 1961 Xerox had almost US$60 million in revenue, and this value had leapt to US$500 million by 1965. (Try imagine,if photocopiers are out of stock? Do we need to use a stone for printing?)

5. The PC was never meant for home use
Many people made this prediction, but most notably Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM said in 1943: "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers". At the time, this may have actually been true. Retrospectively, it's hilarious. (Disappointingly,it is for home use.)

6. Antitrust won't bother Microsoft
"This antitrust thing will blow over," Bill Gates was quoted as telling a group of Intel executives at a meeting on 11 July, 1995. Perhaps it was more as self-comfort rather than as a prediction: two years later, the antitrust complaints continued to roll in, most recently with Internet browser company Opera filing a complaint with the European Commission.(Oh,come on Gates. Where the hell did you get such idea?)

7. eBay will be huge in China
"We are on a tear to be the undisputed winner in China," said eBay CEO Meg Whitman on 10 February, 2005. By December 2006, eBay said it would close its operation in China and become instead the junior partner to Tom Online, a Chinese Internet portal and wireless firm.

8. Nobody will ever need more than 640KB of memory
"No one will need more than 637KB of memory for a personal computer. 640KB ought to be enough for anybody," Bill Gates is alleged to have said in 1981. Interestingly, Gates now denies saying this. But so many people believe he did that he may as well have -- and he's certainly no stranger to bad predictions.See below.(They are being super sarcastic)

9. The death of spam
Another bad prediction from Gates, who declared in January 2004 at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland that spam would be dead in 24 months. Two years later, security firm Barracuda said that in 2007, 95-percent of e-mail messages were spam. (Okay,this one is super silly!)

10. Windows will never be a 32-bit OS
"We will never make a 32-bit operating system," Bill Gates said at the launch of MSX in 1983. Every version of Windows from then on progressively got bigger peaking currently with Vista's 64-bit operating system. (Haha.. Gates just love to humiliate himself,isn't he?)

And I'm just wondering, will they make any predictions after this? As for me, you can just throw all those rubbish-crap-unnecessary predictions. They make no sense. Life is unpredictable. Eh,going too serious? Haha. And what's next? You are going to be one of the Nostradamus too? Come, show me what you've got. Ahahahaha.. =)

Informal Education? Yes,please.

What do you say if a Pan-Asian girl does not even know how to speak English where her father is an English man? And what should you say if a Chin-dian(which is a mix blood of Indian and Chinese) boy does not even know how to speak Chinese when his father is a Chinese man. Well, that's exactly what I feel here. Okay. Okay. You got me. I'm being extra exaggerate here. But here's the truth. Its obvious I'm not a Pan-Asian girl who has such those blue or some kind of hazel eyes nor pretty shiny blonde hair.

Javanese-Malay is what I am originally. And I bet most of the Malaysian here are just like me. You know,this so-called "mix" blood is kind of getting increase its population. But something that really tickled me off is that how can I call myself as a Javanese when I don't even know how to speak the language. Cewah cewah Izzatul,cakap Melayu hang tak mau. Cakap orang putih bukan main naa..Yang hang dok bercakap orang putih ni pasai apa? Dah habis Mat Salleh la dok speaking berhabuk sampai tak ingat bahasa sendiri? Tak sedaq diri betui. Mulut pun bau belacan,tempoyak. Ada hati nak jadi Mat Salleh. Haha.. =D

Since the last two moths, I've been spending the most quality pleasure time with my family and all I can say ; I understand now how INFORMAL EDUCATION works. Setelah beberapa faktor pemangkin yang aku fikir agak logik untuk dijadikan sebab, aku rasa Ayah rindu kampung halaman dia. Dekat rumah memanglah Ayah mana pernah nak cakap Jawa dengan kitorang adik-beradik. Sebab tu lah aku ni satu apa pun aku tak tau. Kalau ada saudara-mara yang macam tegur cakap Jawa,memang aku senyumlah. Bukanlah bongkak ke apa. Masalahnya aku memang tak tau. Tiba-tiba semenjak dua menjak ni makin rancak pulak Ayah mengeluarkan terms Jawa yang aku tak tahu langsung. Dan terkebil-kebillah "si Jawa perasan Mat Salleh" ni nak interpret kan maksud si Ayah. Haha. Dan inilah beberapa hasil pendidikan lisan yang aku dapat. Terang hati bhai aku! Kau nak belajar cakap Jawa? Meh sini.

Kepada mereka yang sedarah dengan aku, marilah kita belajar bersama cakap bahasa ni. Kadang-kadang tu bosan jugak dua bahasa je dalam kepala. Tak English, Melayu. Tak Melayu,English. Kalau nak lain sikit macam Korea ke,Mandarin ke,Perancis ke,Jerman ke, dah kena pergi ambik kursus kelas bahasa. Tengok ni,free of charge la weyh!

Oh ye,kalau Melayu ada pantunnya. Ni nak khabor ke kome,Jawa ada peribahasanya.

Are they serious?

Website-seeing is always hectic. And I know I should do that more often. You would never know what might come to you or what you might come into. And I saw these interesting facts. Just want to do some sharing. The one in the bold is the facts, and those in the brackets are what I thought after reading them. Trust me. You never know what is beyond your limitation until you reached them.

• The storage capacity of human brain exceeds 4 Terrabytes. (I think I have some damaged with mine. It tends to be forgetful nowadays. Hermm..)
• Take your height and divide by eight. That's how tall your head is! (So,head is 1/8 from the total height? I wonder what is the height of the feet. )
• Flies are deaf. (So you won't chase them away by shouting. That should be clearly explained why we keep on waving our hands to keep them away)
• It's impossible to kill yourself by holding your breath. (So please,don't try to to commit suicide by doing this. It's not going to work. That's why we never heard such news)
• TYPEWRITER is the longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the keyboard. (And I immediately laid on my eyes on keyboard. Aren't you doing the same?)
• 'Go', is the shortest complete sentence in the English language. (Oh,I thought it was always an awesome incomplete sentence.)
• Ice Cream is chinese food! (OMG, for the whole lifetime I've always thought it origins from Western)
• Pepsi originally contained pepsin, thus the name. (So,should there be any trypsi that contained trypsin? )
• "Stewardesses" is the longest word that is typed with only the left hand. (How about the right hand? Herm..)
• Men can read smaller print than women can; women can hear better. (That answers why "men tend to fall in love with what they see and women tend to fall from what they hear")
• Like fingerprints, everyone's tongue print is different. (So,if you are trying to find a person who does not have fingers,you can always count on tongue.)
• Out of all the senses, smell is most closely linked to memory.(Now I understand why people under amnesia should be more often smell anything related to their past.)
• Most dust particles in your house are made from dead skin! (For all this while, I'd been sweeping and cleaning my own dead skin!! Bahahaha..)
• In ancient Japan, public contests were held to see who could fart the loudest and longest! (Just imagine, if they held it here! I wonder if there is any audience would be standing there,watching it. I mean,who could stand variety smells of fart? )
• The inventor of the Waffle Iron did not like waffles. (Does it make any sense Alexander Graham Bell also did not use any phones in his whole lifetime?)
• No matter its size or thickness, no piece of paper can be folded in half more than 8 times. (I should try this)
• Most lipstick contains fish scales! (How about lipbalm? )
• The best time for a person to buy shoes is in the afternoon. This is because the foot tends to swell a bit around this time. (My Science teacher once told me about this)
• The Mona Lisa has no eyebrows. It was the fashion in Renaissance Florence to shave them off!(It's pretty clear from the painting ,I mean, if you look at it thoroughly)

p/s : And those facts really get me thinking deeper and laughed my heart out. Yeah, you know now what you might consider as all of the "whatnot" thingy.
