GAMBAR TUAN GURU DAN ISTERI
Perkahwinan yang bahagia tidak memerlukan duit yang melimpah-ruah, tak perlu rumah yang besar, tidak perlu menghabiskan duit membuat implan bagi tampak muda. Kecantikkan datang dari hati. Saya tak menentang poligami tetapi menentang lelaki yang tak mampu tapi berpoligami. Maka jadilah kes-kes anak diabaikan, isteri dibelasah, harta pusaka direbut. Semua ini berlaku kerana ketidakadilan sang suami terhadap isteri-isteri mereka. Sebelum berpoligami mestilah dahulu memperkuatkan struktur iman, taraf ekonomi dan anak-anak supaya tak menyakitkan mana-mana pihak. Contohilah ustaz Kazim Elias.. Walaupun berpoligami, keluarga masih bahagia. Saya amat tertarik dengan satu gambar yang mungkin menimbulkan perasaan kurang senang terhadap sesetangah orang. Apa yang penting, setiap pasangan harus memainkan peranan dalam keluarga dan saling memahami. Maka tak akan timbul perasaan benci bila tua. Contohi mereka berdua.
KOMPUTER ZAMAN BATU
Masih ingat masa budak-budak dulu ayah belikan sebuah PC Atari.. Ketagih main game helikopter guna joystick. Dulu benda macam ni dikira sangat-sangat canggih. Joystick dianggap masa depan walaupun keras dan susah nak digerakkan. Game masa tu disimpan dalam disket. Disket bagi saya adalah sesuatu yang sangat-sangat kool. Sebab mudah nak simpan, boleh lekat stiker cantik, dan siap sekali dengan stiker nama. Tapi kelemahan paling besar tak mampu simpan walaupun sebuah lagu. Apapun saya masih peminat komputer-komputer lama macam ni. Harap dapat satu.
“dua tempat disket!!”
”game chess berwarna!”
“skrin warna!”
ADA BETULNYA APA YANG LEE KUAN YEW KATA..
LUNCH BAGS YANG KREATIF
Cute, honest.. untuk budak-budak yang baik.
40 HARI DITANAM MASIH HIDUP
Kisah ni diambil dari sebuah blog luar negara. Apapun kesimpulan saya ialah samada dia menggunakan jin ataupun dia telah mati dan jin ambil alih jasadnya. Mustahil manusia biasa boleh bertahan melainkan nabi.

According to a fascinating report printed in the London Telegraph in 1880, a man was buried ‘in a condition of apparent death’ for 40 days and survived. No tricks or tomfoolery were involved, so how did he do it?
It’s often the case that when someone professes to be able do something remarkable, that great gift of human nature kicks in – skepticism. So when Maharajah Ranjeet Singh heard from an Indian fakir who claimed he could come back to life after being buried for several months in an apparent state of death, the Maharajah could only reply with one statement – proof or it didn’t happen.
At once, the fakir, named Haridas, was summonsed before the Maharajah – who regarded the idea as possibly fraudulent – to act out exactly how he could accomplish this amazing feat.
In full view of the Maharajah and nobles of the court, within a short time, the fakir appeared comatosed. One of the witnesses at the time, an Honorable Captain Osborn, made his own account of the event:
“When every spark of life had seemingly vanished, he was … wrapped up in the linen on which he had been sitting, and on which the seal of Ranjeet Sing was placed. The body was then deposited in a chest, on which Ranjeet Sing, with his own hand, fixed a heavy padlock. The chest was carried outside the town and buried in a garden belonging to the Minister; barley was sown over the spot, a wall created around it, and sentinels posted.”
So was the mistrust of the Maharajah.

After 40 days the fakir was exhumed and the chest opened. The man, although cold, was in the exact same condition as he was in 40 days previously. Revived by having heat applied to the head, his body rubbed and warm air blown into his ears and mouth, the fakir returned to a full state of consciousness.
A second eye witness account by a Sir Claude Wade, present to detect any signs of fraud, better explain the fakir’s resuscitation:
“I proposed to Runjeet Singh to tear open the bag and have a perfect view of the body before any means of resuscitation were employed. I accordingly did so; and may here remark that the bag when first seen by us looked mildewed, as if it had been buried some time.
The arms and legs of the body were shriveled and stiff, the face full, the head reclined on the shoulder like that of a corpse. I then called to the medical gentleman who was attending me to come down and inspect the body, which he did, but could discover no pulsation in the heart, the temples or the arms. There was, however, a heat about the region of the brain which no other part exhibited.
The servant then commenced bathing him with hot water, and gradually relaxing his arms and legs from the rigid state in which they were contracted, Runjeet Singh taking his right and I his left leg, to aid by friction in restoring them to their proper action… The servant then put some of the ghee on his tongue and made him swallow it.
A few minutes afterward the eyeballs became dilated, and recovered their natural color, when the Fakir recognized Runjeet Singh sitting close to him, and articulated in a low sepulchral tone, “Do you believe me now?””
The Maharajah did indeed believe him and presented the fakir with gifts of a pearl necklace, gold bracelets and pieces of silk and muslin, those that are normally reserved for people of distinction.
Lelaki Berumur 256 TAHUN
(PETIKAN DARI SEBUAH BLOG)
According to the 1933 obituaries in both Time Magazine and the New York Times, Li Ching-Yun was reported to have buried 23 wives and fostered 180 descendants by the time he died at the age of 256.
Was he really that old? Could he have forgotten his own birthday or exaggerated his claim? Environmental Graffiti investigates.
The Secrets to an Interminable Life
“Keep a quiet heart, sit like a tortoise, walk sprightly like a pigeon and sleep like a dog.” These were the words of advice Li gave to Wu Pei-fu, the warlord, who took Li into his house to learn the secret of extremely long life.
Li maintained that inward calm and peace of mind were the secrets to incredible longevity. His diet after all, was mainly based on rice and wine.
From 0 to 256
Unsurprisingly, not much is known about Li Ching-Yun’s early life. We know he was born in the province of Szechwan in China, where he also died. We also know that by his tenth birthday, Ching-Yun was literate and had travelled to Kansu, Shansi, Tibet, Annam, Siam and Manchuria gathering herbs. After that, it gets a bit fuzzy…
Apparently, for over one hundred years, Li continued selling his own herbs and then subsequently sold herbs collected by others. He also (according to Time) had six-inch long fingernails on his right hand.
You might be thinking that he looked decrepit, shrivelled, leather-like and creepy, however sources at the time were astonished at his youthfulness. Was this suspect? Was Li Ching-Yun as old as he claimed he was, or was his birthday a clerical error or exaggeration?
Let’s take a brief look at both sides…
The Nine Lives of Li Ching-Yun
By his own admission he was born in 1736 and had lived 197 years. However, in 1930 a professor and dean at Minkuo University by the name of Wu Chung-chien, found records “proving” that Li was born in 1677. Records allegedly showed that the Imperial Chinese Government congratulated him on his 150th and 200th Birthdays.
So the question is, had he forgotten his own birthday? Was this even the same Li Ching-Yun?
Looking at all of this from a medical and documented perspective: Jeanne Louise Calment, a French woman who died in 1997 so far holds the title for the person who has roamed the earth the longest: 122 years, which is a phenomenal length of time.
That means, that if the records discovered by Wu Chung-chien were accurate, Li Ching-Yun’s age would surpass the official record by more than 130 years. Is this even medically possible?
The detail, which seems to prove both arguments and debunk them at the same time, is Li’s youthful appearance, noted in a 1928 article from the New York Times. Visually and physically, he appeared to look like a typical 60 year-old. Does this therefore signify a superhuman body capable of lasting one quarter of a millennium, or is the story of Li Ching-Yun based on a series of half-truths, lies or exaggerations?

Kisah Dari Tanah Suci: Berkat sayang, muliakan kucing
Kisah ini mengenai seorang wanita Muslimah Melayu berasal dari Perak yang menunaikan haji kira-kira enam tahun lalu.Wanita ini kerana sudah tua dan uzur, lutut pun lemah dan sentiasa sakit, menggunakan kerusi roda semasa tawaf dan saie. Dia mengupah petugas Arab menolaknya, tujuh kali pusingan tawaf dan tujuh kali berulang alik antara Bukit Safa dan Marwah.
Beliau menunaikan tawaf rukun dan saie saja. Yang sunat tak mampu kerana uzur. Lagi pun wangnya hanya cukup-cukup saja.
Namun, ada satu amalan mulia dimiliki Muslimah ini. Yakni mencontohi sunnah Nabi s.a.w., mengasihani dan menyayangi kucing di desanya.
Dia amat suka memelihara kucing. Di rumahnya banyak kucing. Dia melayan makan dan minum kucing. Dia pungut kucing yang dibuang orang, diberikan makan dan minum, dirawat dan dimandikan dengan sabun wangi.
Walaupun banyak kucing jalanan itu lemah, sakit, kurus kering atau lumpuh, tetap diambilnya untuk dirawat di rumahnya. Ada yang berkudis dan sakit serius. Pendeknya rumahnya menjadi pusat kucing kurap.
Maka terkenallah rumahnya jadi pusat rawatan kucing. Mana-mana kucing yang mati dikuburkan di kebunnya. Demikian begitu kasih Muslimah ini kepada makhluk Allah yang lemah lembut itu.
Justeru, ada kucing-kucing peliharaannya manja, gemuk dan sihat, serta cantik-cantik belaka, berkat khidmatnya, yang ikhlas.
Tahun itu beliau berangkat, menunaikan haji dengan menggunakan perkhidmatan Tabung Haji. Gembira dan sayu nian kalbunya, kerana hajatnya untuk ke Tanah Suci, solat di Masjidilharam dan melihat Baitullah di depan mata sudah terkabul sudah.
Ingin di hatinya untuk tawaf banyak-banyak seperti orang muda dan sihat. Tetapi apakan daya, lututnya sakit manakala badan uzur.Setelah solat fardu sentiasalah beliau memanjatkan doa dan pertolongan Allah, agar hajatnya dimakbulkan.
Pada suatu hari, semasa hendak pergi solat di Masjidilharam dengan keadaan bertongkat, beliau terjumpa seekor kucing yang kurus, comot, lemah dan lapar.
Apabila kucing itu hendak bangun berjalan, ia jatuh berkali-kali. Kasihan nian wanita tua itu melihat makhluk Allah itu menderita dan sengsara di kota suci Makkah.
Lantas diambilnya kucing itu, diurutnya tubuhnya yang lemah itu. Dibelikan sebungkus nasi berlauk dan diberikan minum air zam-zam yang murni.
Dengan takdir Allah, kucing itu pulih dan sihat. Kucing itu telah menggesel kaki Muslimah tadi, lalu menjilat kedua-kedua tapak kakinya. Ajaib sungguh, kaki dan lututnya yang sakit tadi, tiba-tiba menjadi sihat dan kuat, seperti orang muda.
Muslimah tua tadi dapat tawaf sebanyak-banyaknya, ikut suka hatinya. Tertunailah hajat yang terbuku di hatinya selama ini, berkat menolong seekor kucing di Makkah yang mulia itu..
Setelah tawaf wida (selamat tinggal) dan menziarahi MasjidNabawi, hajah yang solihah tadi berserta rombongannya bersiaplah untuk pulang ke Malaysia.
Sewaktu hendak menaiki tangga pesawat di Jeddah, Muslimah tua tadi terlopong melihat seekor kucing yang mirip kucing yang ditolongnya sewaktu di Makkah dulu.
Kucing itu duduk di sisi tangga pesawat itu sambil matanya merenung sayu padanya. Apabila Muslimah tadi sampai ke anak tangga teratas, kucing tadi ghaiblah daripada pandangannya.
Demikianlah ganjaran dan berkat orang yang mengasihi kucing,seperti Nabi kita s.a.w. mengasihinya di dunia ini, lebih-lebih besarlah pahala menunggunya di alam akhirat nanti.
