The Islamic calendar started after the migration of the Holy Prophet and some of his companions from Makkah to Madinah with generally of 355 days depending upn th 30 day and 29 day months. The month of Islamic calendar begins from the next day of the sighting of moon which will be the first day of succeeding month... As a result of this the dates of the Islamic calendar can seldom match the solar (Gregorian) calendar except by rare coincidence.

HINDU..

The Hindu calendrical day starts with local sunrise. It is allotted five "properties", called angas...Iaitu...
1. the tithi (one of 30 divisions of a synodic month) active at sunrise
2. the vaasara or weekday
3. the nakshatra (one of 27 divisions of the celestial ecliptic) in which the moon resides at sunrise
4. the yoga (one of 27 divisions based on the ecliptic longitude of the sun and moon) active at sunrise
5. the karana (divisions based on tithis) active at sunrise.
Together these are called the panchāngas where pancha means "five" in Sanskrit.



VAASARA refers to the days of the week

CHRISTIAN..

Atau lebih snang cerite.. Georgian Calendar.. The Gregorian solar calendar is an arithmetical calendar. It counts days as the basic unit of time, grouping them into years of 365 or 366 days..and repeats completely every 146,097 days, which fill 400 years, and which also happens to be 20,871 seven-day weeks.. Of these 400 years, 303 (the "common years") have 365 days, and 97 (the leap years) have 366 days. This gives an average year length of exactly 365.2425 days, or 365 days, 5 hours, 49 minutes and 12 seconds... Waa... detailnye..

A Gregorian year is divided into twelve months of irregular length, with no regular relationship among their lengths

Cam yg kite tau.. Januari till december.. Bule kate evry part of the world gune calendar ni kan..

Horoscope??
Aquarius, Pieces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagitarius, Capricorn..yg jugak dismbolkan ngn simbol buruj(constellation) tertentu..

What is constellation?

It is a group of stars that forms a pattern..actually there are 88 constellations that visible only either from northen hemisphere or southern hemisphere.. As the Earth orbits the Sun, different constellations become visible as the Earth’s dark side faces different parts of the night sky.. According to history, over 2000 years ago.. ancient Greek astronomers saw the same patterns in the sky as we do today, They named the constellations after the animals, beats, and gods familiar to them.. But then only 12 is taken as horoscope..amazing!!


And the most important part.. xkire dimane n ape bangse.. smue ikut kalender yg kite gune skrg.. 2010.. yg mule dr bulan 1 smpai 12.. Januari till December.. Quite interesting kan.. lg bnyk kite teliti..lg bnyk kite prasan same n beze antare kite.. tp nape sume 12??? Hmmmm....

Yang fa sure.. fa lahir 2 april 1989.. 1409 hijrah.. tahun ular.. bulan ashadha..aries.. =)

What is so interesting about PENANG??

For me..there will be 3 things..
Its people,foods and buildings..Have u ever go to Penang..? Such a small island yet so wonderful..

Macam iklan cuti2 Malaysia la plak..hehe..

Sume org slalu keliru fa ni asal mane?Penang? Kelantan? Actually..both..

Me and family move to Kelantan 7 years ago when i’m in form 1..On merdeka 2002.. But last month..during holiday..we went back to Penang..actually we used to go back to Penang once a year. Not very much different like 7 years ago..but still..i think that Penang is such a amazing island in Malaysia..


Like i said before..If u have a trip to Penang.. take a look on its PEOPLE..Org slalu ckp..penang ni bnyk anak mami.. some will say.. Penang rmai chinese.. Indian pun rmai la dah glamour nasi kandar..which one is true? All..

Kalu ase tingin nk tgk pe tu 1 Malaysia..pegila Penang.. U will never see such a place yg ade 3 major kaum ( Malay, Chinese and Indian) idup sngt harmoni.. Compare dgn tmpat lain.. Example KL.. pun bnyk kaum yg ade.. but in Penang.. 3 kaum ni still mengamalkan budaya asal, perayaan kaum and share their moments with each other.. How amazing..

Foods? Bile dah bnyk kaum kat sane.. bnykla plak mknn nye.. Laksa, nasi kandar,char kuey tiew.. sumenye asal dr Penang.. n bnyk lg.. tp bnyk dah negeri2 len yg dah adjust resipi asl n disesuaikan ngn selere rakyat negeri msg2.. but if u really wanna taste the real recipi.. pegila Jln2 cr mkn kat Penang....!!



Buildings? Pecaye x..de satu bgnn kat penang..yg de diorg wat pengambaran filem ANNA AND THE KING.. de old white building kat sane..yg cantik sngt2..so classic..skrg dah jd mahkamah negeri penang.. de jgk bgnn2 len yg menarik kat sane.. org slalu dngr KOMTAR kan? Yela..Komtar 2 bgnn yg plg tinggi kat Penang till now..tp yg plg menarik ialah bgnn2 umah kdai.. classic,lame, nice..yg xle tgk kat mane2 tmpt pun..Macam kite tau,.,Penang ialah negeri2 selat kan..cuz dijajah org english.. so no wonder, it got such very nice buildings there.. n till now still terpelihare n tersegam indah..



And during my holiday last month, fa n family mmg jln2 sakan.. keliling island.. here are some photos taken there..









X sabar nk pegi Penang lagi~ =)

What is the first thing come out from ur mind when i say..
DENTAL CHAIR??

“GGGGGGRRRRRR....”

The machine on it right? Well.. It’s not like “mesin gerudi”..but it’s just some sort of device..and should be..PAINLESS..


Sejak seminggu due ni..cam bnyk je org dtg ckp ngn fa..”camne ye kalu nk wat dental treatment..sakit gg la”..i wonder why..musim sakit gg ke?? Hehe..

Since in primary school..i never scared of the dentist or the chair..maybe because, it’s never hurt me..but somehow..i realise..most of people..ade pengalaman buruk atau PHOBIA to the dentist or the dental chair itself..(Bule wat masuk dlm Fear Factor ni...hmmm)

WHY??

-pain?
-feeling of helplessness or loss of control?
-Embarrassment?
-Negative past experience?
-The sight, sound and smell in the dental environment?
-Afraid of NEEDLE?


Waaa...so painful isn’t it??..Bad thinking..it wasn’t dat bad..

Keje dentist bukan nk menyakitkan org..just to help..and reduce the pain..Sakit ketike treatment..just for a while and it will recover..memangla..bukan sume org ade tahap kesihatan mulut yg baik..even dah jg baik..still caries sbb genetic..how??So..still u need the dentist for treatment..

PNAH TAK...?

-You feel tense or have trouble sleeping the night before a dental exam.
-You get increasingly nervous while you're in the waiting room.
-You feel like crying when you think of going to the dentist.
-The thought of a dental visit makes you feel physically ill.
-You panic or have trouble breathing when objects are placed in your mouth during a dental appointment.

Ade?? Oh NO....u might have DENTAL PHOBIA..

But before that..let me introduce u some common tools that the dentist used during treatment..

Ni la BUR yg digunekan utk “gerudi” caries yg ade kat gg..sbb enamel gg xde saraf..sptutnye xsakit..just ade bunyi2 yg kurang enak yg wat org takut..so tiny actually..

AMALGAM..lpas gune BUR..amalgam digune utk cover bhgian gg yg hilang..xsakit lgsg! xdela bakteria bule masuk dlm saraf gg dan jdkan sakit.. Bekilatnye gg~


SCALING(cuci gg)..Just gune alat kecil ni utk kuarkan kotoran yg ade kat gg..makin bnyk kotoran yg ade..makin bnyk kene buang..makin tggi potensi utk alat ni tekene gusi..n mayb sakit..

Sometimes..EXTRACTION(cabut gg) sngt sakit tp kadang x..depends pd tahap kerosakan..

Nape xle cabut gg taim gusi bengkak??

-sbb bile bengkak..means ade nanah inside..if nk bius..xde kesan..so sakitla bile cabut gg..dats y xle cabut gg taim bengkak..

DENTAL CHAIR

Tgk alat kat dental chair ni..mcm nk wat pembedahan je kan? Hehe..bkn ade pe ngt pun..lampu..bekas utk ltak alat.semburan air..angin..basic2 thing..jus sumenye diletakkan skaligus kat 1 mesin..utk memudahkan keje dentist..sbb dental treatment sumenye bekait ngn mase..mampu ke ngange mulut lame2??

So..dont get confuse..JANGAN TAKUT..noting 2 worry actually..Nape dentist kene blaja 5thun hanye utk rawat gg?? Cause..there are so many things to be consider..

Tingat zaman kecik2 dulu..slalu cikgu ..kwn2..tanye.. ”Hobi ape?”..mcm2 jwpan bule dngr.. baca buku..main game..besukan..tgk tv..even tdo.. makin lame..jwpan yg bese didengar..dah berubah..jd surf internet..men playstation..mcm2..and usually berkait ngn technology..

It’s seems..hobi kanak2 bergerak same ngn peredaran zaman..

Last month..i had found something that is very interesting..the OLD STAMP.. from all over the country.. i ask my mum..and she said..it was hers..and my father’s collection since they were in primary school..
Wow!! No wonder it looks so old..

There were hundreds of them..England is the most but also from Australia, Bangladesh, Belgique, Canada, China, Danmark, Espana, Egypt, Helventia, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Nederland, New Zealand, Pilipinas, Republik Indonesia, Republik Italiana, Singapore, Thailand, US..and so many other..




Abah fa ckp..kalu dijual..beribu ringgit jgk yg bule dpt..tp abah xkan pernah jual..abah nk fa simpan baik2..heee...wat an honour..That’s why..fa susun blk smua setem 2..in one big stamp album..Hopefully..it can be something yg bule diturunkan turun temurun dr kuarge fa.. Bkn snang nk dpt kan...



Lgpun setem ni actually can educate jgk kan..Actually..bkn foreign country je yg mak abah kumpul..even MALAYSIA..since MALAYA..also hundreds of them.. So old yet so wonderful..fa asingkan ia dlm 1 lg stamp album..khas utk yg tempatan..n fa pun akan kumpul..sementare nk tggu fa tue..setem skrg ni pun akan jd beharge kan..something yg org slalu ignore.. ( kad raye pun dah gune sms camne nk kumpul setem..huhu)






Hopefully.. hobi mcm ni..le jd something yg sngt beharge..n diteruskan bdk2 zaman skrg..So, JOM KUMPUL SETEM!!

Ancient Egyptians told many stories about their Gods and about the world around them..Dan dulu fa pnah cite ttg bagaimana moon waxes and wanes..Now..fa nk bekongsi another story from the ROMANS..

This story explains how the city was founded and why it was called “ROME”.
Long ago..a wicked king called Amulius ruled over the city of Alba Longa. He had stolen the throne from his elder brother, Numitor..who fled to the hills and hid among the shepherds and herdsmen. Amulius killed Numitor’s two sons and forced Numitor’s daughter to become a priestess(paderi perempuan). That way, she would never marry and have children who might take revenge on Amulius (jahatnye....)

Nevertheless, one day..Amulius was furious to hear that his niece had given birth to twin boys. She claimed that their father was Mars, the God of War, who had visited her one night in a dream.

Amulius did not believe her and ordered the two boys to be drowned. His servants set the babies afloat on the River Tiber in a reed basket. They drifted toward the Palatine Hill and finally came to rest under a fig tree(pokok ara). A she-wolf came across the babies, attracted by ther crying . Instead of killing and eating them, she looked after the boys, feeding them with her own milk.
(possible?? just continue reading..)

Soon after..an old shepherd called Faustulus was watching his flock when his noticed the fresh tracks of a wolf. Taking his spear, he set off to find the animal and kill it. To his amazement, he found the baby boys, along with the she-wolf, who was licking them clean with her tongue.


Faustulus took the babies home with him and showed them to his wife, Laurentia. The old shepherd and his wife had no children of their own, although ther had always longed for some. So the couple decided they would bring up the boys themselves, and named them ROMULUS and REMUS.

The twins grew up among the shepherds and herdsmen of the hills by the river Tiber. As they got older, they showed by their strength and cleverness that they were born leaders. The other boys all respected and looked up to them.

One day.. a quarrel broke out between the twins and some herdsmen looking after the flocks belonging to Numitor. The herdsmen accused the twins of stealing cattle. There was a fight and the scuffle, REMUS was taken prisoner.

Numitor was puzzled when he met REMUS. Something was strangely familiar about him. When REMUS told Numitor his age and that he had a twin brother, the old man realized that he was talking to his own grandson! He was overjoyed. He told the twins who they really were, and how his wicked brother had wanted them dead.

ROMULUS and REMUS agreed to help their grandfather get back the throne of Alba Longa. They led their fellow shepherds to the city and made a surprise attack on Amulius, killing him in his palace.

Numitor was then welcomed back by the people of Alba Longa as the rightful king. The twins were now princes in Alba Longa. But they were not happy there. They missed the hills on the River Tiber, where they had grown up. Eventually, the decided to go back there to found a city of their own.

Once they had reached the Tiber, the twins began to argue about where the city should be built. REMUS said it should be on the Aventine Hill, but ROMULUS said ther should choose the Palatine Hill, where they had been found by the she-wolf.

At last..the brothers decided to ask the Gods to settle the question. Each of them stood on the hill he favoured and watched the sky for birds, signs from the Gods. Soon a group of vultures began to circle, high up on the air. Six of them flew over REMUS, who shouted, “Look! The Gods have chosen me!”

But then twelve of the vultures flew over ROMULUS. ROMULUS began to mark out the boundary line of his city, and his followers started digging a deep trench.

REMUS watched with growing anger. He began to shout insults at his brother’s taunts, but when REMUS and his follewers started to jump over the boundary line, ROMULUS lost his temper. A fight broke put with picks anh shovels. Remus was killed.

Instead of showing sadness at his brother’s death, ROMULUS just said grimly,” That’s what will happen to anyone who tries to jump over my city walls!” The new city was given the name ROME, in honour of ROMULUS. He proved to be a wise king, and ruled over his people for thirty-eight years.

One day..while KING ROMULUS was watching his soldiers parade on the Field of Mars, there was sudden thunderstorm. A thick black cloud wrapped itself around him and , in a flash of lightning, he disappeared. The Romans said that their founder had gone to join his father Mars,up in the heavens.


=) love this kind of story..

Dah lame fa x update blog fa ni..huh..pe la yg busy ngat..just as usual..having so many things to do..today..4th september which is 14 days of Ramadhan and fasting.. Alhamdulillah..fa still berupaye utk menjalani ibadah puase..

WHY FASTING?

Actually..bkn ISLAM je yg mengamalkan puase..other religions pun..but according to Islam..Ramadhan is the ninth month of the Muslim lunar year(Bulan Islam) which is celebrated from beginning to end as holy..In fact..Ramadhan dikatakan as the holiest time of the Muslim year..The principle outward characteristic of Ramadhan is that Muslims are expected to fast all day, sepanjang bulan Ramadhan ni...



Traditionally the times of fast are marked as whenever a white thread can be distinguished from a black thread. Once those threads can no longer told apart, eating is permitted(berbuke puase). Fasting during Ramadhan is considered one of the Five Pillars(Rukun Islam), meaning it is one of the five most basic beliefs/acts which a Muslim has to do.

However, it's not accurate to say yg muslim yg berpuase cume tahan makan dan minum.. there are quite a few rules which apply to it. For one thing, a Muslim must consciously formulate the intention to fast as part of a rite..Ini utk mengelakkan Ramadhan sbg empty symbol which people don't give much thought to..

The full formulation reads: "to fast tomorrow to acquit my duty towards God of fasting Ramadan this year."

Melayunye..xtau sj la..hehe..kawan fa de ajar niat versi Jawa..so cute~

HINDUNISM fasting?

Fasting in Hinduism indicates the denial of the physical needs of the body for the sake of spiritual gains..Its a harmonious relationship antare jiwa dan roh... This is thought to be imperative for the well being of a human being as it nourishes both his/her physical and spiritual demands...

Bile?

Hindus fast on certain days of the month such as Purnima (full moon) and Ekadasi (the 11th day of the fortnight). Hindus also fast on festivals like Navaratri, Shivratri and Karwa Chauth...Kalu tgk industan kat TV..leh tgk si isteri berpuase utk mendoakan kebaikakn pd si suami..So sweet..

CHRISTIANS fasting?

According to the Christian..De banyak sbb utk berpuase..antaranye..People fast to help them make a decision, and they want to make sure they hear God's direction.. Other times they fast to help others, to grow closer to God, or to heal from some hurt..Christian jgk pcaye..puase bukan skadar tahan mkn & minum..tp berdasarkan niat..utk mendptkan hajat sebenar berpuase..



BUDDHA fasting?

Buddhism regards fasting as a means to achieve and practice self-control. The Buddha advised monks(rahib) not to eat solids after noon.. Pada waktu ni..people who observe the Eight Precepts (Ashtanayak) on full moon days also observe a fast and do not eat after noon..Fasting, according to Buddhism, is an initial stage of self-discipline on the path to acquire self-control. The role of fasting in major religions is to sacrifice a meal for one day or for a fixed period so that we can be aware of the less fortunate and give them alms.
