pErmaTa YanG diCaRi...

Hadirnya tanpa ku sedari
Menggamit kasih cinta bersemi
Hadir cinta insan padaku  ini
Anugerah kurnian Ilahi
Lembut tutur bicaranya
Menarik hatiku untuk mendekatinya
Kesopanannya memikat di hati
Mendamaikan jiwaku yang resah ini

Ya Allah
Jika dia benar untukku
Dekatkanlah hatinya dengan hatiku
Jika dia bukan milikku
Damaikanlah hatiku dengan ketentuan Mu

Dialah permata yang dicari
Selama ini baru ketemui
Tapi ku tak pasti rencana Ilahi
Apakah dia kan ku miliki
Tidak sekali dinodai nafsu
Akan ku batasi dengan syariatmu
Jika dirinya bukan untukku
Redha hatiku dengan ketentuan Mu

Ya Allah
Engkaulah tempat bergantung harapanku
Ku harap diriku sentiasa di bawah Rahmat-Mu

kenapa lak tetiba je mamat nie nak post lirik lagu blog die?..haha..bukan pe..saya suka lah..but..i'm not in love k..bukan lah tanak ngaku.memang la lirik nie cam 'JIWANG' kan..tapi..ia boleh menenangkan hati2 yang terluke dek mainan duniawi nie..k..chill ya semua..=0

berMaLam dI laNtai se0ranG leLaKi

Assalamualaikum...cam beser la..arinie,ana nak kongsi satu cerita la..maybe ini cerita rekaan semata2..tapi ini boleh la menyedarkan diri kita yg selalu leka daripada mengingati Allah s.w.t...selalu melakukan dosa..tidak ketinggalan juga ana sebagai hambaMu yg lemah Ya Allah..jadi,ana haraplah..kalau sape2 yg berpeluang bace note nie,bacelah smpai abes,insyaAllah..ia boleh menyedarkan kite..=)

                       Begini kisahnye..(jeng3x)...,kisah berlaku ketika 1 rombongan guru pelatih ke tmpt bersejrah. Tempt itu sungguh sepi dan lengang. Al maklumla..kate tmpat sejrh..bukannye funfair nak bisng2 kan..maka,guru pelatih turun la dari bas. pegilah mereka menikmati kesan sejarah tue..(kononye la)..Nak dijadikan cerite,ada la sorang guru pelatih gurl yg sgt tekun mencatit(ye2 la tu..),tanpa disedari,terpisah dgn kumpulan guru yg lain..

                       Then,cikgu2 lain lak ingt semua da ada dalam bas..so,meraka chow la..Trainee yg tertinggal tadi da gabra..mane taknye..sorang2 kot kat tmpt sejarah..wat nye hantu Jepon kluar..haha..naya beb..So,die tekad la berjalan kluardari tmpt tu..jumpelah satu kampung...tapi kan..die round la kat kmpung tu..cam da tade org jek..jalan punye jalan..jumpelah satu pondok. Die ketuk la pintu..keluar la seorang pemuda.Lalu trainee tadi pon menceritakan masalahnye..

                       Masalahnye..waktu tu da nak maghrib..jalan ke jalan utama,jauh sgt kott..so,lelaki tu suruh la trainee tu tidor di pondok tu jek..esok baru die hantar keluar trainee tu..Trainee tu di suruh tidur atas katil,tapi laki tu tidur kat atas lantai berhamparkan sehelai kain lain bergantungan sebagai pengadang dia nagn trainee tu. trainee tu da takut giler da..ta boleh tido wa cakap lu..laki tu pulak, bace novel(ececeh..) kat penjuru pondok tu..tiba2..laki tu tetibe je tutup novel tu,dan pergi kat lilin yg menyala dan membakar jarinya satu persatu..(wow!).. Trainee tu apelagi..cuak giler..coz,ingatkan laki tu wat ajaran sesat ke ape kan..maka,due2 ta xtido sampai pagi. Hamek ko..

                       Bila da pagi,laki tu hantar la gurl tu kat pekan..bole la dapt bas ke ape ke nak balek rumah kan..balek2 jek..ape lagik,trainee tu cerite ta la kat parents die..Parents die due2 heran..dan pelik..tgk anak die cam lesu jek..Si bapa nak la jumpe laki tadi tu,so si bapa menyamar la jadi pemburu yg tersesat..tyme jumpe jek,dalam hati si bapa,pelik la tgk jari2 tangan laki tadi berbalut dan si bapa tanye la sebabnye..so,lelaki tu cerita la bahawa ada 2 malam lepas,ada sorg perempuan cantik elok paras rupa( sejuk hati bapak tu,dengar anak die dipuji..hehe)..untuk tumpang bermalam di pondok die. Dan sudah tentu iblis sudah bersama mereka. Disebabkan takut terjadinya sesuatu,laki tu mebakar jarinya satu persatu supaya dapat menghindarkan diri daripada memperkosa permpuan itu.

                    Mendengar penerangan laki tu,si bapa pelawa la laki tu dtg ke rumahnye dan berhajat dan kahwinkan anaknye dengan laki tu,tanpa diketahui laki tu yg bahawasanya perempuan yg akan dikahwininya adalah perempuan yg menumpang tidur di katilnya 2 malam yg lalu..

so,moral of the story..jangan la bagi org yg bukan muhrim,xsame jantina ngan kite,tidor kat tmpt kite..kalau x,kene potong jari la jawabnye..hehe..gurau jek..

Moral Cerita

Apabila kita nak buat dosa tu,cubalah kita letakkan tangan kita atas api. kalau kita mampu menahan api kepedihan tanpa rasa sakit,lakukan la dosa tue..TETAPI kalau x..tayah buat dosa tu.......

Ingatlah bahawasanya api dunia nie,telah di hilangkan bisa neraka selama beribu2 tahun baru diletakkan di dunia, dan cuba kita bayangkan dan rasakan kepedihan api sebenarnya iaitu 
API NERAKA..

Ana harap,kamu semua dapatlah amek input2 dalam cerita nie eh..yang baik2 je au..so..same2 lah kita saling mengingati..kerana manusia nie,sering lupe..dan perkataan manusia nie pon berasal dari perkataan arab,iaitu,nasi..(kalau xsilap ana la..)..iaitu lupa..sesunguhnya lupa tu,penyakit manusia ..=)

Indahnya hIdUp ber'cOupLe'

erm..this precious morning,i want to share with u all..about something new that i got yesterday..hehe..actually on the pamplet..hehe..but i really want to share with my dear fwens bloggers..ngeee..its something about marriage in a early age..=)..so,i thought,maybe its a little smile on ur face after reading my article that i copy from the article..but its in malay la..too lazy to translate to english..hahaa..then,i'm not really good in English..band 3 je kot..hahaa...ok,i want to begin..hehe

Siapa kate xbole couple??!//...Couple la..tapi kenalah 'couple' yg halal...iaitu BERNIKAH ye..

"dan kahwinkanlah org2 bujang(laki dan pompuan)dari kalangan kamu dan org2 yg soleh dari hamba2 kamu,lelaki da pompuan. Jika mereka miskin,Allah akan memberikan kekaaan kepada mereka limpah kurniaNya kerana Allah S.W.T Maha luas rahmat dan kurniaNya lagi Maha Mengetahui"{An-Nuur:32}

=)  BERNIKAH....

jika pelbagai alasan yg dikemukakandemi mengatakan bahawa nikah di alam kampus itu mustahil,maka khitbah adalah solusinya.Nikah khitbah adalah sama seperti nikah biasa mengikut hukum dan perundangan Islam yg mempunyai 5 rukunnya iaitu..suami,isteri,wali,saksi,aqad(ijab qabul)

=)  NIKAH KHITBAH...

kelebihan nikah nie,ialah mereka adalah pasangan suami isteri yg sah mengikut hukum agama. Andai dalamtempoh itu mereka bertemu,keluar la,dating,study same2,even mereka mengadakan hubungan persetubuhan pon,ianya tidak salah..

Kedua2 pasangan x perlu duduk sekali,xperlu mencari rumah,xperlu tangung satu sama lain..etc.Nikah adalah untuk m'halalkan perhubungan & juga membina kematangan..

=)  PERBAHASAN HUKUM..

Salah 1 dalili yg digunakan oleh sebahagian para ulama' ialah perkahwinan Rasulullah S.A.W. dengan Aishah r.a menurut hadis yg diriwayatkan oleh Bukhari dan muslim,Rasulullah S.A.W. telah mengahwini Aishah ketika berumur 6 tahun,dan hanya duduk serumah ketika berumur 9 tahun. Hadis ini menjadi dalil berlakunya akad nikah,maka bukan kewajipan bagi memperlai untuk teus tinggal serumah terutama atas persetujuan kedua phak untuk beberapa tempoh yg dipersetujui.

=)  RISIKO

Perkahwinan di kampus ini juga x sunyi dari risiko. Pernikahan di kampus hayalah salah satu kaedah rawatan untuk gejala maksiat di IPT..Sekurang-kurangnya,walaupun ia berisiko,ia masih dapat mengelakkan risiko yg lebih besar. Namun,bagi mereka yg x terlibat dengn gejala berpacaran,adalah digalakkan untuk mereka hanya menumpukan perhatian kepada pembelajaran.

o0key..konklusinya..bebanan nafkah itu x diwajibkan ke atas suami sekiranya kehidupan biasa suami isteri belum berlku.Bagaimanapon,sekiranya suami isteri tersebut keluar bersama,maka tiada halangan dari segi syara' kerana mereka adalah suami isteri yg sah..Akhirnya,walau apepon tindakan yg diambil,pastikan mardhatillah menjadi matlamat utama..

=)  NIKAH..
        c0NnectIng Pe0opLe..




ahah'...that's all my article today..a little bit knowledge to share wif u all..hehe..i think,i also want to do like this..hehe..when i meet with the RIGHT gurl..and make a 'halal' relationship with her..insyaAllah..=)..so,I hope,all of my friends can take a note about this..yeah!...so,i end my post today with Assalamualaikum..
keep smile..=)

8 Foods that may help save our memory..

nie baru je ak terbace dalam internet tadi..bukan pe.ingatan ak pun ckup lemah..haha..kureng mampu kott nak menghafal organic chemistry tuu...fuhh..giler la beb..seyes deth..aku memg payah nak menghafal..maybe kene bnyk sucikan hati nie lagi kot..da terlalu koto0o0rr..huhu..kene wat sesuatu nie syimir oii..ngeee..tapi2...maybe artikel nie..dapt la membantu sedikit..insyaAllah..kite sebagai hambanya mampu berserah saje..selepas berusaha kan2..erm..nie die..ak nak present kat korang..hehe

1)Oil-based salad dressings..
“The data support eating foods that are high in vitamin E and this includes healthy vegetable oil-based salad dressings, seeds and nuts, peanut butter, and whole grains,” says Martha Clare Morris, ScD, director of the section on nutrition and nutritional epidemiology in the Department of Internal Medicine at Rush University, in Chicago.
The benefit has been seen with vitamin-E rich foods, but not supplements, she says.
A potent antioxidant, vitamin E may help protect neurons or nerve cells. In Alzheimer’s disease, neurons in certain parts of the brain start to die, which jump-starts the cascade of events leading to cognitive deterioration.




2)Fish or name melayu nye..ikan..hehe
Salmon, mackerel, tuna, and other fish are rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, including docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
“In the brain, DHA seems to be very important for the normal functioning of neurons,” Morris says.
Another plus: Eating more fish often means eating less red meat and other forms of protein that are high in artery-clogging saturated fats.





3) Dark green leafy vegetables...or ...Sayur-sayuran hijau...
Kale, collard greens, spinach, and broccoli are good sources of vitamin E and folate, Morris says.
For example, one cup of raw spinach has 15% of your daily intake of vitamin E, and 1/2 a cup of cooked spinach has 25% of your daily intake.
Exactly how folate may protect the brain is unclear, but it may be by lowering levels of an amino acid known as homocysteine in the blood. High levels of homocysteine may trigger the death of nerve cells in the brain, but folic acid helps break down homocysteine levels.
High homocysteine levels have also been linked to an increased risk for heart disease.





4) Avocado
This creamy treat is also a rich source of the antioxidant vitamin E.
Research by Morris and her colleague suggests that foods rich in vitamin E—including avocado, which is also high in the antioxidant powerhouse vitamin C—are associated with a lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s.





5)Sunflower seeds
Seeds, including sunflower seeds, are also good sources of vitamin E.
One ounce of dry-roasted sunflower seeds contains 30% of your recommended daily intake. Sprinkle them on top of your salad to give your brain a boost.





6)Peanuts and Peanuts butter
Although both are high in fat, peanuts and peanut butter tend to be a source of healthy fats. And they are also packed with vitamin E.
Both foods may help keep the heart and brain healthy and functioning properly. Other good choices are almonds and hazelnuts.
“There has been some very good research that diets that are high in healthy fats, low in saturated fat and trans fats, and rich in whole grains, green leafy vegetables, and nuts are good for the brain and the heart,” says Maria C. Carrillo, PhD, senior director of medical and scientific relations at the Chicago-based Alzheimer’s Association.



7)Berries
The latest research presented at the National Meeting of the American Chemical Society in Boston found that blueberries, strawberries, and acai berries may help put the brakes on age-related cognitive decline by preserving the brain’s natural “housekeeper” mechanism, which wanes with age.
This mechanism helps get rid of toxic proteins associated with age-related memory loss.



8)Whole Grains
Fiber-rich whole grains are an integral part of the Mediterranean diet, which is also loaded with fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, olive oil, and wine.
Research out of Columbia University Medical Center in New York City shows that this diet may be linked to lower risk of the mild cognitive impairment that can progress to Alzheimer’s disease.
“We don’t eat foods or nutrients in isolation, we eat in combination with other foods so there is value in dietary patterns,” says Nikolaos Scarmeas, MD, an associate professor of neurology at Columbia University, who conducted the studies.
This type of diet may reduce inflammation, oxidative stress, and other vascular risk factors such as high blood pressure—all of which may have a role in increasing risk for brain and heart diseases.



ADDITION INFO...


EXERCISE REGULARLY
Okay you can’t eat it, but research suggests that regular exercise is as important, if not more so, as what you eat when it comes to memory-saving lifestyle changes.
Experts all stress that getting regular exercise is also an important part of the equation when it comes to staving off many diseases, including Alzheimer’s.





yeah!!..itu jela yg ku dapat..huhu..eventhough ku main copy paste jek..tapi ku amat la berharap..kawan2 ku..dapat mengamalkan bende nie semua eh..semua tanak kene Alzheimer  kan???...hehe..renung2kan dan selamat beramal..=)
