The Too-Ridiculous Shaman



Korean media reported, "Malaysia consult a shaman to find MH370." 

News from Malaysian students in Egypt.

"Whether in kuliyyah (class), talaqqi [learning Islamic lesson in a halaqah (small group)] and in Azhar Mosque people laughed at us when talking about MH370 magic. They called us Sihrun Thoirun (i dunno what this means).

Just now (I went) to Tahrir (some kind of immigration office i think) to get my VISA stamped. When he/she (the officer at Tahrir i think) asked for passport, he/she laughed at Malaysian kids (students). He/She said that we are good at magic and spells.

Nasi sudah menjadi bubur (is a Malay idiom which means there is nothing that you can do to undo things that are done; literally means the rice became porridge). The country's dignity and Muslims in Malaysia are undersold.

...


0:39 di atas udara ada alam. alam ghaib ni masa saya naik kapal terbang daripada Kuala Lumpur ke Kota Kinabalu sesinggah Tawau, pihak-pihak pramugara !@#$%^&* pakai tali pinggang. ada satu lembaga hitam lalu kot atas. hari itu masa saya naik kapal terbang masa itu. lepas tu saya pakai tali pinggang, dia lepas lebih kurang dalam 200 kaki, kapal terbang tu melayang. rupa satu lembaga hitam lalu kot atas; hitam. saya tanya siapa; dia kata burung Garuda, Datuk. saya pun terkejut. !@#$%^&* beg bergoyang !@#$%^&*. saya percaya takut terlibat golongan-golongan itu; manalah tau. 1:26

there is another world in the skies. the supernatural world; by the time i was in an airplane from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Kinabalu passed by Tawau, the cabin crews !@#$%^&* (i dont really get what he is trying to say) wear seat belts. there was a black thing passing by (at the top of the airplane). that day when i was in the airplane that time. then i fasten my seat belt, the airplane dropped for about 200 feet. there was a black thing passed by above (us); black. i asked who (are you?); it said (i am) Garuda Bird, Datuk (or Dato'. i am not sure and i dont care. for more info click here). i was shocked !@#$%^&* the bags swayed !@#$%^&*. i  fear that this (MH370 case) involves the (supernatural) beings; who knows.

i cant bring myself to finish the video. it is not that i do not believe in supernatural. but...

garuda?

garuda?


and you claim yourself as a Muslim?

sigh~

oh yeah, i did wrote that i love to read good books. but i havent write about a book i bought on my way back from Seoul, right? i finished the book last year. well the title is Life In The Skies by Captain Lim Khoy Hing; and i get to know what 'air pocket' is through this book. 

the shaman's gesture in the video shows 'air pocket'.

even what he says -- the airplane dropped for about 200 feet -- describes 'air pocket'.


who would you think i believe in more? the shaman or Capt. Lim?

sad. but we Malaysians (Muslim or not; who are still sane and only believe in God; not matter of what religion) also disagree with the shaman. some even created parodies. for example: 



by the way, (they didnt say anything though, but still) it feels kind of embarrassing that i had to teach some Japanese about CPR and AED last Friday; just because i am Malaysian.

Write Up: Pure Facts VS Marketing


i was recruited by this Training Company on November 2010 as a Management Trainee.

i was agreed for a transfer to a sister company named Water Sports Company from December 2010 to May 2011 in Sales and Marketing Department.

then i was transferred to another sister company named Wallpaper Company from June 2011 to July 2011; also in Sales and Marketing Department because something happened to the Water Sports Company.

then i went back to the Water Sports Company as it came back to life from August 2011 to October 2012 continuing in the Sales and Marketing Department.

and i was transferred to the Training Company on November 2012 and am still here now, in the Training Department.

recently my Biggest Superior asked me to create a write up about our new concept of our new program.

yes, i did write. but it is all based on facts.

there are no "colorful" words like how i used to write when i was in the Sales and Marketing Department; especially by the time that we are trying to bring back the Water Sports Company to life.

because the nature of my work now is all based on facts.

below is one of the book i am trying to digest.


i love to read; good books.

A Drowned Maiden's Hair by Laura Amy Schlitz



i am done with this book quite a few months ago.

Maud Flynn is small in figure for her age of 11; with a sweet voice. she is an orphan; and a trouble to the orphanage where she stays. 

three sisters whom hold fake seances; the eldest Victoria, the middle Hyacinth and the youngest Judith; are in the middle of preparing a seance for a Lady whom lost her child whom drowned at a beach.

the sisters have a maid who cant talk.

Hyacinth decided to adopt Maud and Maud promised that she would do everything being told and would not be a trouble to the sisters. 

the sisters at first asked her to play a secret child to the family - no one should ever know of her existence as it would ruin the plan for the drowned child's seance.

it is actually kind of heartbreaking of how much Maud is willing to do in order to be 'loved' by the sisters; and she was finally asked by the sisters to play the drowned child; whom have long golden hair. 

Maud would have to wear a wig for the seance and when the seance took place; an accident happen and the house was on fire.

all three sisters, the maid and the Lady was saved. Maud was left in the house but then managed to escape. 

Maud was upset that Hyacinth never look for her after the fire and she went to look for the Lady and told her the truth.

the Lady was upset and confront Hyacinth. 

Maud was sent back to the orphanage and later was adopted by the Lady; whom also took the maid to be her maid and learn sign language together.

they lived happily ever after.

ok ok.. i made up the last sentence..

Set in Stone by Linda Newbery



i just finish reading this novel yesterday night. and i tell the story to my room mate last night. she went kind of crazy trying to figure out the actual plot of the story.

it was kind of interesting in the beginning.

the mysteries, the scandals, the bla bla bla..

it was about a young artist, Samuel Godwin, an art tutor to two young ladies, Juliana and Marianne Farrow, the daughters of a rich man, Ernest Farrow who lives in Fourwinds.

the young ladies have a governess named Charlotte Agnew.

their previous governess is Eliza Hardacre.

there was also another artist who left Fourwinds before he could finish his sculptors; and before Samuel came in to the picture, Gideon Waring.

the story is: Ernest had always wanted a son; but his wife Constance, gave him two daughters and had a miscarriage during her last pregnancy.

Ernest raped Juliana and Juliana found herself pregnant; and told Gideon.

Gideon persuades Juliana to tell her mother; which later leads Constance to suicide; which was mistaken as an accident.

Ernest found out the Gideon knew his secret and asked Gideon to leave Fourwinds.

Juliana then gave birth to an illegitimate son, Thomas; whom then stays with Eliza whom leave Fourwinds; as planned by Ernest. Eliza then marries Matthew Dearly to cover up the real story of the child.

then comes Charlotte being the new governess after Eliza left; and later Ernest planned that he would make a successful man out of Samuel and that Samuel shall marry Juliana.

being quite new to Fourwinds; Charlotte and Samuel thought that Gideon and Eliza had sex and Thomas is the result; or Gideon raped Juliana and Thomas is the result.

but then Charlotte found out that Thomas is actually Juliana's; when Samuel went out looking for Gideon; for his admiration of Gideon's sculpting and for seeking the truth.

Gideon then told Samuel the truth. Samuel returned to Fourwinds and somehow he, Ernest, Charlotte, Juliana and Marianne ended up in a lake with bad weather.

Samuel pushed Ernest away.

Charlotte hit Ernest with an oar.

Ernest died.

Charlotte then told Samuel that actually she is also Ernest's daughter.

Ernest had sex with Violet, Charlotte's mother. Violet never told Ernest that she is pregnant; and Charlotte somehow grew up to be nobody's child.

it is a sick, incest novel, actually.

Read


i am now wondering how is my leave going.

is it approved?

...

did i ever tell you i love to read?

no, i didnt.

and yes, fuck me.

i love to read

good books;

and i can easily be absorbed in the world 

written in the books.

i read Dragon Ball,

Doraemon,

Gempak Star's "E-Book".

mangas are books.

:)

but nowadays i just dont have the time to do so;

and one of the good books i intend to read now is 


this.

when i suggested my room mate to make a presentation about AED,

she asked me what if her audience ask her a lot of questions.

so i told her to ask me questions that her audience might ask her.

i answered to every question she threw me

and when we are done, i started to open the book;

and read the whole chapter about AED;

and continue to read other chapters;

and ended up sleeping late.

last night i was helping her with her presentation slides;

which she already decide to go with the topic 

STI, Dressing & Bandaging.

she asked me if i can open the book again

to find any elaboration of the objectives of dressing & bandaging;

while she typed in the elaborations of other things i wrote for her.

so i did.

about 5 minutes later i came back to my senses and asked her:

"what was i supposed to look for again?"
