This is it

I woke up this morning refused to believe that the day has come for us leave Brisbane for good. I laid on the bed, wishing that we have one more day to stay, one more day to enjoy living in Brisbane, one more day to live like the regular day we have had for more than 3 years here. What a strange feeling I have, want to go home, but don't want to leave either. Especially when for the last couple of weeks we were busy with load of things, and when everything had settled, we just had a couple of days to enjoy our last week.

Well, that's life. Move on we must.

We will definitely, for sure, start a new life in Malaysia. A new chapter begins tomorrow, but I have yet to write the conclusion for this current chapter, soon insyaAllah, soon I hope.

Before moving on, I would like to give an update about a new halal butcher at Inala Centre. It was run by one of atang's friend, a Bangladeshi friend he met at work. We had a chance to visit the butcher last week.  Now, we can buy seafood and halal meat at one place. Crikey!!



To everyone that we met and got to know in this 3 and half years of journey, we would like to apologise for any wrong doing, halal makan dan minum ya. Thank you to friends who had invited us for dinner and lunch this last week, kurang la den memasak, and thanks to you all we have gained weight...ahahhahah...kata sedih, tapi badan naik...abih camno. And thank you to the family who had offered us their cosy home, for us to stay temporary.  And thank you to all who had helped us with the shipping and moving, you guys definitely made this moving matter at ease. And last but not least, thanks to you who have been following by humble blog for the last 3 years or so. Though we have never meet physically (almost all of you), but your comments have kept me going, through thick and thin.

Ok laaa....got about 12 hours more to enjoy the rest of Brissie day. Until we meet again, take care and thanks for reading.

yours truly,

Melancholy in November

Harinie perasaan bercampur gaur, happy, sedih, panic, risau.Besok hari terakhir serah kunci, besok juga la kontrak menyewa kami tamat. Baru aje balik dari mengemas, last minute clean up sebentar tadi. Besok pagi-pagi, carpet cleaning service akan datang untuk cuci carpet, salah satu syarat exit condition yg perlu dipatuhi dekat sini. Katanya ambil masa lebih kurang 2 jam juga la untuk membersihkan rumah opppsss... unit sewaan kami tu. I wonder how the cleaning process will take place. It would be interesting to see how they clean the whole unit, but it starts at 8 in the morning, am sure the kids are not ready to go out at that hour.

Today, I had the last meeting with my sifo, before working on the correction. Still need some clarification on what to concentrate, and what to disregard, the comments/feedbacks given by the panel. Adoiii....fenin jugak kepala nie nak response semua komen yg diberi. Fenin sebab tak cukup masa yng berkualiti untuk fokus. Plus nak bawak yaya n adik sight seeing sekitar Brisbane sebelum balik. Adoiii sifo, naper la tak bagi den sikit masa lagi.....issshhh tu la dia, orang dah bagi keje mudah, dok tangguh-tangguh lagi....

Before I went home today, I cleared up my desk, shredding papers, threw out unwanted things, adeh sodih pulak rasa bila tengok desk tu, perlahan-lahan kosong dan lapang. Tak sompek den nak ambil gambar, sodih sangat....

Dari Warren ke Brisbane Street

Lame betul tak update blog nih. Sibuk dengan packing, shipping, selling off our pre-loved items, moving luggages to a temporary accommodation, cleaning our apartment, terminate phone line, power supply, internet line, need to settle any outstanding bills, etc. Adoiiii.... so many things to do, but so little time we have. Tapi skrang nie tinggal nak cuci bilik mandi n toilet aje. Kami pun dah satu malam bermalam kat rumah kawan, tumpang kejap sampai hari berlepas. Lagipun untuk memudahkan kerja-kerja mengemas dan mencuci rumah, nak kena serah kunci hari Rabu ini.

Oh ya... nak ucapkan terima kasih pada kengkawan yang bawak macam2 juadah sempena jamuan farewell Sabtu lepas. Thanks Maryam for organising the feast, and thank you for inviting us. We had fun that day, especially the kids.

Ok laaa...short entry, have very limited time. Besok ada meeting dengan sifoo...ada hutang kerja dengan dia...aiyoh... camno nak buek... baru harinie dapat tengok2 kerja. Tak kasi chance langsung la sifoo nih...

Got over it, and one more to go...

Fuhhhh fuhhh... berabuk betul rumah nie....habuk tebalnya seinci. Been away to prepare for another milestones in this journey. Alhamdullillah...all went well, I need to make some minor changes though, but as expected. But have yet to get a full report from the panel members. I don't want to put my hope up very high, sekali dapat report kena buat perubahan selambak ko..haaa... mau terduduk. But I am very hopeful that what ever it is, I can complete it in 2 months, because it is the targeted submission date.

Now I can really concentrate on the packing. Still have about 40% more to go. And I have other things to look after too... adeh...tetiba banyak benda nak kena settle nih...

I was browsing for more halal food outlet in Brisbane, until I stumbled into this "Halal Maps". Great maps, it shows not only halal restaurants, but butchers and mosques too. Good for visitors and people who like to travel, and looking for halal food in particular (like us :D). I wonder how can I make fully use with the map?!

Will update again when we visit/venture new outlet...

Pizza and pastry

A quick update on halal restaurants that you can find in Brisbane. Last Saturday we went to this not so new pizza outlet at Underwood, about 15 km from Brisbane. I came to know about this pizza place from the Muslim Times, and was also recommended by a friend. It is not difficult to find this place, because it is located near that Grill House that we have visited. According to the owner or co-owner, a friendly and very nice lady, Pizza Lane has been operated for 9 months now.


They offer a selection of pizzas that they categorised as classic and gourmet. They too have subs, pastas, waffle and both cold and hot drinks. Yaya n atang quickly ordered milkshakes, but because we have been out in the rain the whole day, I ordered a simmering hot choc, that was so delicious. And we also ordered two types of pizza and a pasta for yaya.



For more info and direction, please visit their site here.

Next to this pizza place is a halal Nandos outlet. And just a couple of shops away, there is Brumby's, that famous bakery in Brisbane (they are every where in Australia actually), and the only Halal Brumby's in Brisbane. I have always love bread and pastry shop (ada la berangan untuk buka a small bakery that offered a limited selection of cakes, bread and pastry, with fresh brewing coffee, one day...hohoho), so after I placed the order at Pizza Lane, I rush down to Brumby's and bought these:


Banyaknye makan.... yes I know that :p

The sign

Ahhh...the much awaited flower has finally bloom, and still blooming while I am writing this. It is also a sign that we are in the mid spring. For uni student, it is an indication that the exam week is around the corner and a long break ahead is coming. As for us, it is a sign that we are leaving soon, but before that, most importantly, that stressing and nerve wracking DAY is approaching. Yikes!!!

So this is the flower that people in Brisbane, well at least for some of us who is a foreigner here, been waiting. JACARANDA is the name. In the picture it looks kinda light blue, but actually it is in a very light purple or close to violet. Now in Brisbane you can see this beautiful purple flower every where, by the roadside, by the river, on a field, any corner, any home, parks, playgrounds, schools, etc.




Give it a week or two, the trees will be in full bloom.

Messy

"Apa adik cakap," Pt. 4

A continuation of "Apa adik cakap"... Part 4

Introduction: This sequel is about the progress that adik is making in developing her communication skill. Currently, adik has expand her vocabulary by picking up words from her surrounding. Now is the phase that mama n babah have to be more careful with words, try to avoid saying bad words (especially babah, he likes to use bad words when he is angry with something, usually when he is loosing in the PS's game that he was playing). Adik can now convey her needs more clearly. If she can't explain or say what she wants properly, getting a question mark face from me, she would simply say, "tuu...tuu.. (itu)..." and then grab my hand and take me to the location of that wanted thing. She recently can argue on certain things. Check out these two scenarios:

Scene 1: Adik is playing PS with her beloved sistah. One thing for sure is, it's difficult to ask adik to stop playing the game, she will without fail make a tantrum by crying out loud and screaming and insists that I carry her around for the rest of the day. Adoiyaaaaa.... bergayut aje la nanti....But one day, she was a little bit smart... As usually adik n kakak were playing PS in their room, while babah was playing with his PS at the living room.

Babah: Adik...sudah la tu...dah lame dah...
Adik: OK... (but she kept on playing)
Babah: Kakak...dah tu, stop please!!
Kakak: OK babah...
Adik: Noooooooo!!!
Kakak: Dah la adik....
Adik: Nooooooooo!! Adik nak main game....
Kakak: Sudah!!!
Babah: Dah tu adik...esok boleh main lagi
Adik: (she started a tantrum by screaming and crying) Noooooooo!!!

Then adik got up, and ran out of the room to the living room.... she stopped at the hall that separate the living room from the bedrooms... then she said..

Adik: Tengok tu, babah main lagi!!!

Then she ran back to the room and continue playing.... hhahahahahhha.... apo den nak kato... layor buruk anak den sorang nih....

Moral for us: Please set a good example to the kids. Susah kalau ada loyar buruk dlm family nih!!

Scene 2: Kakak has always been the princess in the family. This is because she likes feminine, girly things, such as dolls, children makeup and jewellery things, etc. Adik on the other hand was a bit agressive, favors boy's things like trains and cars, until recently when she showed her interest on her kakak's barbie dolls. So both of them are now regularly fighting over the dolls almost everyday. So one day, kakak was getting tired of not letting adik buat ghete of her barbie dolls. Kakak nie pun satu, one thing about her is she doesn't like sharing her things with adik, until I persuaded her. It so happened that kakak has 2 barbie dolls, one she willingly gave to adik, sebab apa tau, sebab dah buruk sikit...aiyoh.... Dah buruk, of coz la adik nak yang cantik kan... (as I am writing this, they are fighting over the barbies again)...this is a dialogue between kakak n adik fighting over a barbie once upon a day.

Kakak: bak la adik.........
Adik: (making "i-couldn't-care-less" face)
Kakak: bagi laaaa!! (kakak is getting agrier)
Me: (adeh budak2 nie gaduh pulak...den nak menulis nih!!)

I then turned around and face both of them.

Me: Apa kakak...
Kakak: adik nie laaa...ambil barbie orang...barbie dia ada, tak nak main...
Me: Ala...barbie aje...main la benda lain..
Kakak: Kakak nak barbie kakak....
Me: Adik...barbie adik mana?
Adik: Ada...
Me: Mana?
Adik: lam bilik....(sambil buat tak tau)
Me: gi la ambil barbie adik, bagi kakak balik barbie dia
Adik: OK... tapi adik nak main barbie kakak...
Kakak: (masam mencuka)
Me: (buat tak tau aje laaa)

Adik nie bukan ape, suka sangat sakat kakaknye. Tapi bila dia dah tengok kakak dia tarik muka 14, baru la dia bagi...hahahhahahah...dia tak kisah pun pasal barbie tu, she just wants her sister attention yo....

Next week the school reopen, sunyi balik la adik kat rumah nanti....


Adik smelling a Jasmine

SubhanAllah Allahuakbar

About this video (taken from Islam Voice)....

This video was shot in Alexandria, Egypt, during the month of Ramadan 2010.. This is our answer to all those who fight Islam and try to stop it from spreading all over the world.. , we tell them you can draw cartoons or threat to burn Quran, or protest against Mosques, or ban the Athan, or fight hijab,.. etc, but in the end you will never win over Islam, because the power of the word of truth can never be defeated ...

Come to learn how strong Muslims are on their faith.. How much they love Islam.. How much they're sincere in following Islam.. How much they're dedicate in serving Islam... Try to think of any religion in the world and you will never find followers of any religion who are as strong in their faith and sincere in their worship as Muslims..

In the video, people are praying in the streets because there is no empty place inside the mosque "Masjid" so they made the prayer on every empty place they could find.. And it's the same situation in every Islamic country around the world..

Think of any way to destroy Muslims or break a faith that strong, but the truth Is, you will never win over Islam...




Subhan Allah , Walhamdullillah , WalailahaillAllah , WAllahu Akbar

Peringatan buat kita semua

http://cikwiduri.wordpress.com/2008/11/17/melayu-murtad7/Penulisan di bawah ini den terima melalui email daripada seorang sahabat di sini. Mungkin anda dah pernah membaca kisah-kisah di bawah ini. Kisah-kisah nie pun dah lamaaa dah kita dengar, tapi cuba renungkan, rasa-rasanya, ada perubahan positif tak mengenai isu ini? Apa peranan kita? Semoga keluarga kita dijauhkan dari perkara penyesatan ini.

-------------------------------------------------------
Bacalah sehingga habis sekiranya kamu ada hati perut. ada ke pun?


YA ALLAH YA TUHANKU....JANGANLA H KAU PESONGKAN HATI KAMI SETELAH KAU BERIKAN PETUNJUK.... .AMIN3x

APA HEBATNYA AGAMA LAIN SELAIN ISLAM.' - TOLONG BACA

Renung2kanlah,

'Pernah dengar cerita Aisyah Bukhari yang murtad tak lama dulu? Suratkhabar banyak menutup kes ini kononnya untuk menjaga perkauman, tak nak terjadi kacau bilau... Kes Aisyah yang murtad dan banyak kes murtad lain ditutup sedemikian rupa atas alasan bercinta, ikutboyfriend.

Cerita yang akan saya bawa ini agak panjang tetapi sekiranya kamu seorang Islam yang peka dan sayangkan agama kita Islam, buatlah sesuatu, paling kurang fowardkan email ni kepada saudara kita yang tak tahu menahu. Ataupun selemah-lemahnya, berdoa agar kita semua serta saudara-saudara kita terselamat daripada fitnah akhir zaman yang paling besar ini.

Ini bukan cerita rekaan saya tetapi hanya petikan dari ceramah yang saya dengar dari mulut peguambela kes ini Zulkifli Nordin di Madrasah Hidayah. Murtad dikalangan orang Melayu kini sudah menjadi ancaman kepada kita.. Indeks pencemaran akidah mengikut jabatan statistik dan perangkaan Tahun 1989 aje, 4776 orang Melayu mohon tukar nama dari Melayu kepada bukan Melayu atas alasan keluar dari Islam.

Tahun 1997, bila Saari Bustamah mengambil alih jawatan mufti dari Datuk Hashim Yahya, perkara pertama yang disentuh adalah murtad. Menurutnya sehingga Julai 1997, 3,000 orang murtad di KL sahaja. Tahun 1998 saja, 516 orang sudah murtad. Aisyah bukan kes pertama murtad, sebelum ini dah beratus kes timbul tetapi ditutup oleh pihak tertentu.

Setakat kes Aisyah, dah 40 fail murtad dikendalikan oleh saudara kita Zulkifli Nordin. Mengapa kes Aisyah ini kita rasa ralat sangat? Kes ini satu simbol yang tunjukkan pada kita orang Melayu. Sistem pertahanan akidah kita amat rapuh. Akidah kita diserang ditubi dari segala sudut. Yang kita tak nampak dengan menggunakan system perundangan dan kehakiman kita sendiri.

Kes ini boleh dilihat dari 2 sudut.
1.Bagaimana orang macam Aisyah boleh murtad
2. Bagaimana orang kafir laknatullah boleh menggunakan sistem hakiman kita untuk merampas anak orang Islam untuk dimurtadkan?

Apa yang berlaku kepada Haji Bukhari setelah 25 tahun didik anak dengan pengisian Islam yang hebat. Sedang dia mengimamkan sembahyang terawih di masjid tahun 1997 anak dia sedang dimurtadkan dirumah.

Aisyah adalah gadis Melayu biasa yang didedahkan dengan ilmu yang sepatutnya. Dalam keadaan macam tu, dia takkan murtad. Dihantar ke sekolah agama, dia belajar hingga tingkatan 6 atas dan boleh melayakkan diri jadi ustazah kalau dia hendak, dan layak melanjutkan ke peringkat Universiti Al Azhar kalau dia hendak . Dia dibesarkan dalam suasana yang bapanya imam. Datuknya juga imam yang dah berpuluh tahun imam Haji Tahir. Dia juga hafal surah Yasin. Dalam ertikata, tahu ayat apa, surah ke berapa yang dibacanya, ayat apa yang jadi azimat, semua dia tahu. Itu hebatnya Aisyah. Surah Sajadah pun dia hafal ... Masuk ITM dia terlibat dalam gerakan Islam. Dia didedahkan dengan gerakan Islam, dia tahu kelemahan-kelemahan Bible. Dari segi keterampilan, dia budak perempuan Melayu seperti biasa, pakai tudung dengan baju kurung bunga-bunga. Takde apa yang pelik pada dia, duduk di lembah keramat AU5C... Kakak dia pun macam itu juga keterampilannya. Tiap-tiap hari telefon bapanya lapor isu terkini. 2 tahun di KL begitu. Hari terakhir dia telefon 19 Nov 1997 ,

'Assalamualaikum ayah! Ni Intan (nama manja) cakap. Intan nak bagitahu, Intan dah kristian.'

Bayangkan hati seorang bapa. Kita sendiri heran macamana dia boleh murtad. Aisyah adalah simbol anak Melayu yang telah dididik dengan begitu rupa boleh murtad.. Apa yang Haji Bukhari boleh buat? Airmata sahaja modal dia. Masuk TV menangis, keluar radio menangis, pergi forum menangis apa yang dia boleh buat? Semua dokumen mahkamah akan jadi bahan arkib termasuk permohonan kafir laknatullah itu minta Aisyah dibebaskan untuk dimurtadkan ..

Butir asal permohonan.. . ....

Permohonan ini dibuat oleh Lennet Teoh Hui Leong seorang peguam Cina Kristian. (Read Herbes Corpes bawah bab 36 kanun acara jenayah). Tujuan untuk membebaskan seorang yang didakwa ditahan secara salah. Sebarang permohonan seperti ini perlu bagi sebab mengapa didakwa tahan secara salah. Permohonan dibuat bawah bab 36 atas alasan Article 11 Perlembagaan Persekutuan. Iaitu hak kebebasan beragama. Tiada langsung soal kahwin timbul. Permohonan tu menyatakan, perenggan 6, bertarikh 28

November 1997 di Makamah Tinggi Malaya Kuala Lumpur bahagian jenayah.

Sebab yang dia beri, 'Saya Lennet Teoh Hui Leong telah dilantik oleh Nur Aisyah untuk memberi nasihat kepadanya berkenaan dengan pertukaran agamanya kepada Kristian dan atas arahannya saya telah menyediakan surat sumpah untuk Nur Aisyah menolak dan meninggalkan agama Islam.'

Perenggan 23: 'Saya Lennet Teoh percaya bahawa Nur Aisyah sedang dikurung secara salah oleh keluarganya. Saya percaya tindakan ibubapa, abangnya dan bapa saudaranya telah melanggar hak kebebasan Nur Aisyah menganut agama pilihannya iaitu Kristian Khatolik'.

Kita tak boleh buat apa-apa sebab article 11 Perlembagaan Persekutuan menyatakan mana-mana warganegara Malaysia yang telah cukup umur (18tahun) berhak mutlak menukar gamanya. Itulah perlembagaan kita yang memerdekakan orang Melayu kita tahun 1957. Perlembagaan itulah juga yang menjerut kita sendiri. Adakah anak cucu kita akan selamat dengan perlembagaan itu? Bila berlaku pertembungan antara hukum syara' dengan undang-undang sivil, undang-undang syara' akan terbatal. Maksud agama rasmi kita Islam adalah acara-acara rasmi hendaklah dibuat mengikut cara Islam... Contohnya perlantikan sultan, rasmi parlimen dll. Tak lebih dari itu. Bab kehidupan, politik, ekonomi..... semua tak termasuk.

Article 4 pula menyatakan: 'Mana-mana undang-undang yang bertentangan yang bercanggah dengan perlembagaan ini adalah batal dan tidak sah. Ini termasuklah hukum syara'.

Contoh kes Hartina Haji Kamarudin.

Pada masa ceramah ini dibuat, Haji Kamarudin ada dalam lokap, didakwa mencederakan seorang Hindu kafir laknatullah kerana memurtadkan anaknya.. Anak yang dibela selama 18 tahun dengan begitu susah payah datang ke Rumah dalam keadaan Hindu.

Haji Kamarudian seorang penjual sate di Perak. Beliau lepaskan anaknya selepas 18 tahun ke KL untuk cari kerja. Tak terlintas langsung di kepalanya anaknya akan murtad. Tak sampai 9 bulan, Hartina balik ke restoran bapanya dalam keadaan Hindu dengan nandek kat dahi . Bukan itu saja. Anak yang dimanjakan begitu rupa balik mencabar bapanya, bawa boyfriend dan kawan-kawan boyfriendnya sambil berpeluk-p eluk dalam keadaan dia pun dah Hindu dengan nandek. Haji Kamarudin takek si kafir tu kat tengkuk, menggelupur dia depan kedai tu..

Haji Kamarudin juga dipelupur oleh kawan-kawan si Hindu tu sampai nak pengsan. Adik lelaki Hartina umur 16 tahun turut kena belasah kerana nak menyelamatkan akidah kakaknya depan kedai tempat bapanya meniaga.

Apa Hartina buat masa tu? Hartina papah kekasihnya dan biarkan bapanya menggelupur sendirian. Tak cukup dengan itu, dia pergi ke balai polis buat report bapak dia pukul boyfriend dia. 14 hari Haji Kamarudin dengan adik lelaki Hartina merengkok dalam lokap sebab report anak kesayangannya yang mempertahankan kekasih Hindunya. Tak cukup dengan itu disaman pula bapanya 3 juta. Remuk hati seorang bapa yang diheret ke penjara kerana anak sendiri. Tak cukup lagi, dia telah menghina bapanya dengan menukar nama Hartina Haji Kamarudin kepada Nivasni Rajeswari. Nama Hindu.

Semasa masih terlantar kat hospital (akibat dipukul binatang Hindu laknatullah ), Haji Kamarudin ditangkap polis semula sebab Hindu laknatullah ditembak oleh seorang yang tak dikenali. Jadi, Haji Kamarudin, anaknya dan anak saudaranya kena kurung masuk lokap kerana menjadi suspek utama kes tembakan tersebut... Anak yang ditatang begitu rupa akhirnya menyebabkan dia merana dalam keadaan hina di dalam negara yang negara Islam!! Haji Kamarudin juga dikenakan berbagai tuduhan. Setakat itu saja, 4 tuduhan.

Yusof Qardawi dalam kitabnya menyatakan hendaklah mempertahan akidah hatta dengan nyawa sekalipun. Itu yang Haji Kamarudin buat dalam mempertahankan hukum Allah, dilokap sedemikian rupa.

Lagi satu kes lain saudara baru kita, nama Yusof bin Abdullah , nama asal Hindunya Santana. Ada seorang isteri, namanya apa entah.Ada anak lelaki, nama Sunjay kalau tak silap. Usia 2 tahun masa tu. Ajak isterinya masuk Islam. Abangnya telah lebih 20 tahun masuk Islam. Isterinya kata ?eh!? Yusof bawa anaknya sekali masuk Islam dengan nama Mohamad Syazani bin Yusof. Dia hidup 2 beranak tu selama 2 tahun. Lepas 2 tahun si minaci datang semula dan bawak lari anak ini ke KL dengan boyfriend barunya.Yusof tak tahu apa nak buat, dia minta mahkamah syariah Alor Setar keluarkan perintah penjagaan hak ke atas anaknya.

Mahkamah pun bagi. Dia pun datang ke KL dan ambil balik budak tu. Si emak ni pergi mahkamah tinggi KL mintak hak jaga anak. Mahkamah tinggi bagi pada si minachi ni. Heran sungguh. Bila si minachi ni tak dapat nak ambil balik budak tu, dia pergi report polis. Tahu polis buat apa? Cari Yusof dan tangkap! (padahal Yusof dapat hak penjagaan daripada mahkamah syariah Alor Setar). Yusof masuk lokap 8 hari.

Lepas tu polis ambil balik budak tu kasi pada emaknya. Hari ini, budak tu kembali jadi Hindu. Tak cukup dengan itu, kurang ajarnya si minachi ni, dia minta pulak mahkamah tinggi batalkan perintah jagaan anak yang dikeluarkan oleh makamah Syariah Alor Setar yang diberi pada Yusof.

Dalam kes Suzie Teoh, seorang budak perempuan dari Kelantan umur 16 Tahun telah peluk Islam atas kerelaan sendiri. Bapa dia tak suka, lepas tu saman anak sendiri dan saman Majlis Agama Islam Negeri Kelantan, heret anak dia ke mahkamah persekutuan. Dia mohon pada makamah, agar istiharkan anak dia masuk Islam tak sah.

Masa tu, Tun Salleh Abas yang jadi hakim. Beliau seorang yang alim dan warak. Bila dihadapkan dengan kes Suzie Teoh, menangis Tun Salleh Abas. Terpaksa buat perisytiharan. 'Dibawah Perlembagaan Persekutuan, hak seorang anak tertakluk dibawah jagaan ibubapanya selagi belum cukup 18 tahun. Kalau nak tukar agama, kena minta kebenaran ibu bapanya. Semasa Suzie Teoh masuk Islam, berumur 16 tahun. dia tak sah peluk Islam.' Atas kearifan dan iman Tun Salleh Abas, dia simpan fail tu dalam lacinya selama 2 tahun. 2 tahun kemudian, lepas hari jadi Suzie Teoh yang ke 18 tahun, dia buka balik kes itu dan bagi peluang Suzie isytiharkan agamanya sendiri. Penuh mahkamah nak tahu kes tu; wartawan tempatan, wartawan asing semua nak dengar keputusan. Terketar-ketar budak tu. Baru umur 18 tahun. Sambil menangis, budak tu kata ' Saya yang arif, kekal dalam agama saya, saya masih nak nama Nur Aini..' Maka Tun Salleh Abas pun dengan bangga mengisytiharkan Islamnya sah dengan namanya Nur Aini. Selamat akidah seorang budak. Sebab itu jugalah Tun Salleh Abas kena buang atas 5 tuduhan. Tuduhan kedua atas sebab melengahkan kes seorang budak tanpa sebab selama 2 tahun. Itulah harga yang Tun Salleh Abas terpaksa bayar.

Kes terakhir sekali yang paling teruk, kes saudara Ibrahim, isterinya Siti Solehah dan anak perempuannya usia 5 bulan mati dipancung kerana tidak mahu kembali kepada agama asalnya, Hindu. Pada malam hari Valentine 14 Februari, pada waktu anak Melayu bertukar tukar bunga di Dataran Merdeka. 3 Saudara kita mati dipancung dalam sebuah kontena demi mempertahankan agama.

Peristiwa 13 Mei tercetus apabila seorang budak Melayu dibunuh kerana dia Melayu bukan kerana dia Islam. Dalam sejarah Melayu, tiada lagi orang Melayu dibunuh kerana Islam. Semuanya sebab Melayu. Inilah pertama kali.

Jika kita sorot semula sejarah Islam Yasir, bapa kepada Amar diseret di hadapan. Amar diugut supaya tukar agama. Kalau tidak, bapanya Yasir akan dibunuh. Amar kata,'Allah hu Ahad'.. Terus Yasir kena pancung di padang pasir. Kemudiannya, Sumaiyah ibunya juga disula dari bawah tembus ke jantung. Mampu berkata 'Allah hu Ahad'. Berlari Amar menemui Rasullullah SAW. Dan akhirnya, mengikut sejarah, Amar menjadi seorang mujahid berperang bersama Rasullullah SAW. Itu zaman puak Quraisy kafir laknatullah berkuasa. Rasullullah SAW tiada kuasa lagi pada masa itu.Rasullulah tak boleh buat apa.

Dalam kes kita, bukan sahaja Ibrahim dipancung kepalanya sehingga putus, tak cukup lagi, tangannya juga turut dipotong. Sehinggakan Majlis Agama Islam Selangor terpaksa minta masjid mandikan jenazah saudara-saudara kita yang mati syahid itu.. Apalah dosa anak kecil yang berusia 5 bulan itu? Ibrahim dan Siti Solehah bukan calang-calang orang. Ibrahim seorang saintis Pakar Geologi manakala isterinya Siti Solehah, seorang Pakar Botani.. Tanda-tanda syahid jelas pada ketiga mayat tersebut. Walaupun 5 hari dalam peti sejuk darah masih memancut keluar pada ketiga-tiga mayat. Bayi yang berusia 5 bulan masih mengalirkan darah hangat seperti baru mati. Peluhterpercik pada dahi mereka. Mereka dikebumikan di kubur Bukit Kiara.

Kalau saudara semua tak mengalirkan air mata melihat kubur mereka bertiga terutama bayi yang berusia 5 bulan itu, mesti ada yang tak kena dengan hati kita Hebat mana kita sehingga tak boleh mempertahankan saudara kita sendiri Sedangkan Ibrahim telah melaporkan pada pihak polis dan Majlis agama yang dia diancam untuk dibunuh supaya kembali ke agama asalnya.

Dalam satu hadis yang berbentuk futuristik (masa depan), Rasulullah SAW berpesan 'Bersegeralah kamu melakukan amalan soleh kerana akan datang kepad a umatku di suatu masa, satu fitnah yang begitu besar yang datangnya seperti satu kepingan hitam di malam gelap gelita tak nampak'. Sahabat bertanya 'Apakah fitnah besar
itu ya Rasullullah? ' 'Fitnah itu adalah kamu akan lihat umatku di hari itu, di waktu itu,pada masa itu, pagi hari Islam, petang kafir. Petang Islam, pagi kafir balik.' Sahabat bertanya lagi. 'Mengapa begitu ya Rasullullah? ' Rasullullah SAW menjawab, ?Sebab dia jual agamanya dengan nilai dunia'.

Imam Ghazali pernah berkata dalam perkara ini, 'Akan datang fitnah murtad ini dalam keadaan seperti semut hitam di atas batu hitam di malam gelap.' Mana nampak?

Kecuali kalau jiwa kita tengok satu perkara dengan cahaya keimanan.

Bagaimana gerakan murtad ini berjalan di Malaysia sehingga kita tak nampak langsung. Gerakan Hindu kita tok sah sebutlah Belum habis cakap, dah ada yang tunggu dengan parang kat luar. Gerakan Yahudi lagilah teruknya. Henry Ford (orang kaya yang buat kereta Ford tu) pernah menulis berkaitan Yahudi tahun 40an atau 30an dulu dalam bukunya 'International Jew' (tak Silap saya).

Unsur Yahudi begitu tebal dalam masyarakat kita tapi kita tak nampak. Paling nyata, rokok yang orang kita hisap tu. Setiap satu batang itu ada saham kepada puak Yahudi. Tak de kilang rokok yang bukan Yahudi punya. Sapa yang hendak berenti merokok, ambil ni sebagai iktibar...

Yahudi punya kerja, baru letak bola sebijik, 70 ribu Melayu tak sembahyang kat stadium Shah Alam. Belum kira yang kat rumah lagi.

Bab Kristian, lebih terancang, lebih terperinci lagi. Semenjak kalah dalam perang salib terakhir, iaitu dalam pemerintahan King entah apa nama ke 6 yang terakhir. Sebelum dia mati, dia telah berwasiat dan wasiatnya ada ditulis dengan emas di London . Dia berkata: 'Kepada semua pemimpim-pemimpin Kristian, kita hari ini telah melakukan kesilapan besar, kita berperang dengan tentera Islam dengan pedang, bukan berperang dengan akidah yang ada pada mereka. Sebab tu Islam menang walaupun 30 ribu tentera mereka dengan 300 ribu tentera kita, mereka tetap menang sebab mereka (orang Islam) berperang kerana nak mati. Kita perang untuk hidup. Oleh itu, hendaklah kita tukar strategi. Melancarkan peperangan ideologi, fahaman dan budaya keatas orang Islam.'

Wasiatnya berjaya dilaksanakan setelah King tu mati, 1492, kerajaan Islam Andalusia yang paling agung pada masa itu tumbang di tangan Kristian. 1511 kerajaan Islam Melaka tumbang, tak lama lepas tu, tumbang kerajaan Islam Pattani . Tak lama selepas tu, tumbang kerajaan Islam Kedah . Tak lama lepas tu,tumbang kerajaan Islam Mindanao ..Lepas tu kerajaan Islam Acheh ... semuanya satu demi satu..

Macamana benda ni boleh terjadi?

Sebab gerakan Kristian berdasarkan kepada 3G. GOSPEL,GOAL, GLORY . Pertama kitab dia, kedua kekayaan kita, ketiga menang terhadap Islam. Kalau kita tengok sejarah, Alfonso De Albuqueque bukan datang ke Tanah Melayu bawa tukang masak sebab nak rempah kari kita. Dia bukan makan kari, di a datang bawa mubaligh Kristian Francis Xavier (kalau saya tak silap eja), sebab nak sebarkan ajaran Kristian.

Bagaimana cara dia sebarkan Kristian nih?

Orang kita panggil, gerakan halus...Dia panggil semua mubaligh Kristian yang nak datang ke Asia ni. Dia guna kaedah 'garam dan ragi'. Garam sebagai perasa, ragi untuk penapaian. Contohnya ubi kayu. Waktu siang asalnya ubi kayu kita letak ragi, esoknya masih lagi bentuk ubi kayu tapi sebenarnya tapai. maksudnya, dia kekalkan orang Melayu dengan identiti Islam. Hakikatnya kehidupan kita bukan cara Islam lagi . Cara inilah yang Rasulullah SAW kata macam kepingan hitam di malam gelita. Inilah yang Imam Ghazali kata macam semut hitam atas batu hitam di malam gelita tu.

Pertama, melalui sistem pendidikan. Di Malaysia, macam-macam sekolah dengan nama mubaligh Kristian. Convent itu, Saint ini... Menurut satu petikan seorang mubaligh Kristian pada masa itu yang ditulis semula oleh George Peters dalam sebuah buku tahun 40an. Kepada mubaligh-mubaligh Kristian yang nak datang ke negara kita, berkaitan pendekatan garam dan ragi'. Pendekatan seperti ini tidak memerlukan seorang Muslim Melayu berkenaan meninggalkan system kemasyarakatan yang dituntut oleh agamanya. Sebaliknya orang tersebut hendaklah digalakkan terus tinggal dalam masyarakatnya. Justeru itu, ragi tetap ujud dalam keutuhannya. Dia akan menjadi bagaikan sebuah lampu (Kristian) yang diletakkan dalam gelap. Penyebaran agama Kristian nanti akan terserlah dalam sifat kerohanian, bukannya organisasi. Dirasa kesegarannya, bukan bersikap kalam... Dinamik dan etikal, bukan bersifat formalistik.

Pendekatan begini telah memperlihatkan kebaikannya. Lantaran ia tidak menganjurkan ahli Melayu tadi menjadi ahli baru Kristian yang formal, menyendiri terpisah dari masyarakatnya. Sebaliknya ia memberi laluan agar dapat dimasukkan semangat dan ajaran Jesus bagaikan sebutir ragi yang bertindak dengan proses penapaiannya ke atas seluruh masyarakat Melayu seluruhnya.

Ajaran Kristian akan bertindak melahirkan revolusi , justeru itu nanti,dapatlah dikatakan bahawa kita nanti akan memperolehi satu Kristian muslim Melayu tempatan yang mencerminkan Kristian muslim Melayu sejati.. 'Sebenarnya dia ingin. Akan datang suatu masa nanti, orang Melayu sendiri tanpa dipaksa-paksa akan buat revolusi untuk menjadi Kristian. Cara kebajikan pulak... Hari ni sapa tak kenal kelab rotary yang cuci buah pinggang,kelab lion, bulan sabit merah, Saint John's Ambulans, sapa tak kenal palang merah. Mereka masuk dengan cara menghidupkan sekularisme. Sekularisma adalah satu cara mengasingkan agama daripada kehidupan. Itulah kita hari ni mengasingkan Islam daripada kehidupan dunia. Cara lain adalah dengan menghidupkan maksiat. Kita kena ambil tindakan samada dengan tangan, dengan mulut, atau paling lemah sekali, dengan hati.

Bangun malam buat sembahyang hajat agar kita semua diselamatkan dari fitnah besar ini. Paling kurang pun, fowardkan email ni kepada saudara kita yang lain yang tak tahu menahu tu. Kita kena peka. Ini semua tanggung jawab kita semua.

Akhir sekali, email ini tiada kena mengena dengan ceramah nak berkempen politik atau apa saja.. Sekadar meniupkan semangat perjuangan dalam diri kita yang mengaku Islam ini. Ni lah masanya kita bangkit pertahankan agama Islam sebelum terlambat.

Nota kaki:
#kawan-kawan yang dikasihi, tolong forwardkan email ini untuk pengetahuan dan tindakan kita semua sebagai orang Islam agar perkara ini boleh dijadikan iktibar dan benteng untuk kita mempertahankan akidah kita yang telah di Islamkan atas tiket keturunan dimana dengan sebab ini kita telahpun mendapat banyak rahmat dan belas ihsan dari Allah tanpa perlu melalui hidup Sebagai seorang yang terpesong dari ajaran-Nya dan sentiasa mencari-cari jalan yang betul.

Di harap rahmat Allah dan doa-doa para waliullah dapat melindungi kita sehingga kita kembali ke sisi-Nya. Sementara itu, berhati-hatilah dalam apa jua yang kita lakukan dan sentiasa beringat kepada Allah.

My eldest princess is now 8

Yaya turned 8 yesterday. We had a small family celebration, started on the eve of her birthday by going to the cinema to watch "Despicable Me". It was one great movie, even adik was laughing loudly in the cinema (dah la suara dia memang besar...hahahahah). Yesterday, I baked yaya a choc cake (I just bought Coles' choc cake premix), and cooked her favourite chicken rice for dinner.  I just realised I baked her the same choc cake when we had her 1st bday celebration in Brisbane, that was for celebrating her turning 5, 3 years ago. Same cake, same plate, but yaya looked a lot of different in that two years.Ohhh she has lost that baby look, dah besar dah dia....I am practically holding my breath when I wrote this sentence..........................................
and now exhaling....


Her 1st and last birthday in Brissy
And yesterday, as I have wrote on Sunday, we had a visit from the rental agent with some potential tenants that will take over our rented unit in November. And this morning, I received a call from the agent informing me that there will be another visit tomorrow evening. Alhamdullillah, Allah mudahkan cari replacement. InsyaAllah.

Ok I need to post some pictures for the love ones at home to see yaya bday celebration in FB. Daaa...

Unit for rent

For those who are looking for a rental unit, we are breaking our leased early this November. The unit is now being advertised by the rental agent. I must say, this unit is cheaper compare to other rental unit surrounding this area. It is just a walking distance to UQ, 3 to 5 minutes to the nearest bus stop to the city, and it is situable for both UQ and QUT students. 2 rooms, separate bathroom and toilet, kitchen, open living space and a garage. The rent is $300 p/w.

Dateline is approaching

I just got back the annotated draft reviewed by a proof reader....adoiyaaaa....banyak benda nak kena refine nih...but I am glad I have sent it to him, because when I read the comments he gave me, I realised there were too many careless mistakes and confusing sentences. My sifo and I sat down and look at the comments, yup, definitely much work is needed. My sifo saw that I was frowning at each comments given by the reviewer and he suggested that I put aside the thesis and go for a break...aiyoh....I cannot la sifoo... a break!! am penniless... I just want to finish this fast and go home.....nak balik nak balik....

tetiba teringin nak makan rendang mak.... nak buat, tapi rasa malas la pulak...aiyohhh

Ramadhan Day 28: So sad Ramadhan is leaving...

Today is the 28th day of Ramadhan. Feel sad that the Ramadhan is leaving. But it is so ironic kan, when at the start you want things to go quickly, but when you are nearing the end you want it to go really slowly. Honestly, this Ramadhan, my appreciation towards Ramadhan sangat kurang, was pretty busy with the writing, more worried about the research, rather than enjoying the fasting month. Hopefully I will be able to go through next coming Ramadhan penuh dengan rasa syukur, able to appreciate every single day of it. Harap dapatla ke masjid untuk tarawih sok-sok.

OK... hmmm since Ramadhan is ending, kite tukar mood raya pulak. Am going to work until 2pm today, that is about 2 hours from now, then I need to prepare things for cooking today, then off to fetch yaya and have a brief meeting with her teacher. It is nearing the end of the school term as well, next week is the last week of school for this term, then the school will be temporary close for 2 weeks. Then balik rumah, solat, then I will start cooking for iftar, at the same time preparing ingredients for gotong royong tomorrow, yup this is regarding to our kongsi raya open house, insyaAllah on Friday. I will be incharge of the kuah kacang, aiyoh, never cook for 200 people lorrr.... nervous den. So tonight I will need to call mak for tutoring, hohoho. Then, tonight, I will make kek batik for the open house. Masak siap2, kang besok tak sempat. Nasib baik semalm dah gosok baju raya siap-siap.

Oh yes, just for the record, adik has been without the pacifier for two weeks now. Satu pencapaian yang baik. Though sometimes she asked me about it, but I kept telling her that her puting dah busyuk, nanti sakit perut. She accepts the excuse everytime, yela dengan rupe puting yang dah hampir nak hancur tu, what more she can do kan. I will definitely not buying her a new one.

Ok laaa... jom dengar lagu raya...hahahha... since we are not going home for raya this time, these two songs really reflect our feeling currently.... but somehow I don't really care...because what ever it is, this is going to be our last raya here xD






I may not be able to blog really well for the next couple of days, yela with the gotong royong n open houses, tak sempat. But I may update through mobile, so it is going to be short everytime. Moreover, my time will be pretty tight with the dateline approaching, aiyoh less than a month before the milestone, tengok task nak kena buat sebelum 'batu jalan' muncul pun dah tercunggap-cunggap, so maybe this is the last long entry kot, before I can find a very suitable time to write a good long story. So until we meet again, selamat berbuka, selamat hari raya, selamat jalan raya, selamat makan-makan di hari raya, apa-apa pun biar sederhana ok.

Ramadhan Day 26: Raya raya raya

Today is the 26th day of Ramadhan. Untuk yang berada diperantauan bahang hari raya takde la rasa hangat seperti di Malaysia. Nonetheless, this morning alone, I have received 3 open house invitations by friends. 2 on the first day of Eid and one on the second day. Not including our kongsi open house on the first day of raya. Wow, raya sakan laaa... like Mak said two days ago, "Enjoy it, this is your last time.." well she didn't actually refer to raya, but the Spring season. I told her that soon we will see Brisbane changing colours based on the type of flowers. Yup, that is something unique in Brisbane. As if the flowers are taking turn to appear. I am waiting for jacaranda to show their radiant purple flowers, before the flame of the forest @ semarak api take over the reign. I think I have posted a few pictures here in this blog of those two trees. But I will surely take new pictures with the two lil princesses under that trees very soon.

A very short entry today. I'm sure everybody are now getting ready to balik kampung. Seronoknye...I think this is the best time of any year dari zaman kecik sampai dah tua nih...hehehe... Apa-apa pun hati-hati bila memandu, suka pun suka juga, tapi kena beringat selalu. Ok then, till we meet again, selamat berbuka, biar sederhana.

Ramadhan Day 25: Unwell

Today is the 25th day of Ramadhan. With the Eid @ Hari Raya approaching, am getting lazier to cook. Yesterday, I was down with the flu, I caught the virus from adik, while adik got better. Flu or not, I managed to make a batch of donut. Today, atang is having the flu, the virus has finally infected the whole house. Yaya, ohhh she was the one who started it...huhuhu....anyway.. probably because the change of the weather or maybe the hayfever that came together with Ms Spring.

Ok, I promised myself this should be a short entry. I have one section of writing to complete today, before having a lil nap after zuhr. As I have mentioned in the previous entry, yesterday iftar we had Nasi Kerabu, the first and the last I think, unless akak will cook nasi kerabu for hari raya..huhuhu... No wonder people have been talking and praising the Nasi Kerabu, it was delectable especially the sambal ikan. I would give 4.75 out 5 for the Nasi Kerabu because there was one at pasar malam Tmn Sri Pulai that a bit more delicious. But hey, I need to say that akak Nasi Kerabu is not a full-time pasar malam seller, in fact she only sells Nasi Kerabu during Ramadhan here. And in addition the fact that the one selling at pasar malam Tmn Sri Pulai offered a variety of lauk, with daging bakar, ikan celup tepung, solok lada, hati goreng, telur asin and I usually asked the seller to add more budu and kerabu, definitely overcome Nasi Kerabu Brisbane.

Nasi kerabu yang top di Brisbane


 Burger sambal
For kuih, I made a batch of donut, half I pre-fry and store in the freezer, another half for iftar yesterday. For today iftar.....hmmmm maybe I cook daging masak lemak cili api and roti john for starter. OK... till we meet again, selamat berpuasa dan berbuka, biar sederhana.

yours truly,
