Society ... and women

Alslam and peace ...

I have just read in the newspapers about the current increase in child sexual abuse ... and sexual abuse generally ... yah, we might say that child abuse is some kind of sexual disorder... but when it comes to rape ... I mean adults here .. Then it ain't a disorder anymore... but its an act based and motivated by many elements, and from these elements: violent-sexual-based movies, porn magazines, porn DVD's , porn sites , sexually provoking series , the never ending call for sex by many advertisements and commercial companies trying to sell their stuff ... so it seems we are living in a sex-based world ... wherever you look .. There is sex... and since this is one of those animal instincts that humans are “embedded” with ... it will be triggered ... maybe more than 24 times a day ... and oh i forgot ... one more element that people don’t like to talk about of fear of being labeled uncivilized and closed-minded ... and this element is just an addition to those elements. But I do think it can be a major cause for our sexual problems and crimes... The way women dress, behave and act in public... They are like telling you: "sir, would you please attack me, im a lonely lady walking half naked at night or at closed corridors alone" ...but then someone will interrupt me and say: sir why don’t you control yourself... So my answer will be: yah... im controlling myself but she isn’t controlling her seduction ... she is seducing me -for God's sake- ... and today in LRT's , buses and even just walking around the streets you will be able to see different sexual parts of women exposed to the public .. Its not like women want to look beautiful anymore... but as if they are trying to tell, we are all for you to take ... just present us with your good character and credit card or full wallet ... and some of them are actually innocent, and they will be scared... And they will never approach men ... but the questions marks are:


Why are you doing this to yourself??

Why do you need to expose all those body parts??

Do you want to be beautiful or want to be raped by some maniac on the streets??

Do we blame this maniac if everything around him tells him to do it??? Even that Nike old logo "Just Do It"!!!!!

Why do ladies get scared when anyone approach them ... although they are wearing bit**es-attire , and the way they act tells that they will accept invitations????

(and when i say bit**es attire , i mean an attire that will make her in the same standard of a bi** in the past years ... look at prostitutes of the 90's .. and compare how they wear ... with what women wear today)

If you really believe in freedom, then prepare for the freedom of others to look at you, if you like privacy, then those are private parts that you shouldn’t be exposing to the public...

And when you do expose, don’t blame others... Because exposed means public??? Isn’t it?

And you know what the problem is??? The problem is that no one thinks there is a problem in this society … people believe that satisfying their desires is all that matters … forgetting that satisfying all desires have some side-effects as well …

So you you may be saying ,why the hell is guy putting 70% of the blame on women??? .. well .. just look around you and you will see what im talking about ... i never understood women , but from what i see ... they are in need for money and men ... else why do they do all this??? and another point-of-view .. women are the cause of the women problem , they are the one's who force each other into making fool of themselves in the hope of finding some man ...

you don't have to do all this ...

All this, I believe that the punishment for a rapist is still light... We need more sever punishments (plus awareness)... And true... men must control themselves ... and true that women have the right to look beautiful ... but the formula and the existence of that animal behavior within the human being makes it complex ..So I hope both parties (men and women ) will cooperate in solving their own social problem … it’s a problem that may cripple the whole society in the future...

May We wake up before we loose everything ... for we ignore the basics of common sense

Missing Children: Should parents be charged? ...

Alslam and peace to alll ...

and yah .. this is the latest news .. and my comment will be ...

Why do we always like to focus on the "side" topics and leave the real topic??? its like we try to divert the attention of people ... i mean we should be talking about how severe the punishment should be for such inhumane act ... and not to punish the parents ... because this will be just like another "chicken-egg" problem .. since we cant prove anything against parents unless its really obvious ...

and this proves one thing : the people talking about this now aren't really feeling what the parents feel ...

The problem with some parents here come when there is miscommunication between the parents which leads to separation of the family ... and i noticed some parents will not even be looking at each other , although they are sitting in the same table ... but this is a social problem that need to be resolved , and has no relation with such case ... these types of cases are caused by many other factors ... and please ... i hope they will not come and tell us that the criminal was crazy and he did all this without him knowing what he did ...

This is a criminal ,and if he was crazy he shouldn't be wandering on the streets preying on innocent children like that ...

anyway .. hope the best will happen ... insha'llah

So today went to campus, it was interesting ... increased my interest on Math ... and planing to study more discrete math in the coming days ...

We learned about Dynamic programming today ... its a type of problem solving technique where you keep track of subproblems result , so it can be used in other computations ... and also Memoization

I have also learnt today that math isn't hard after all ... (this isn't what a Computer Science student should say .. but its a feeling :) ...

Bad news ... And me going Mad ...

Alslam and peace ...

as usual , spent Saturday at campus, and on Friday had one of the best Iftars , with a group of about 16, they are considered to be of my best friends, so we made the gathering .. it was more than a success .. but one of my friends was not there .. although i hoped he was ...

and the week ended fine, with more J2EE to learn and more focus on FYP preparation ... it seems that 2-month before isn't enough ...

and again we hear of the saddest news in this Ramadan ...

"Five days after the body of a girl in the gym bag was found, Nurin Jazlin Jazimin's parents broke down and cried yesterday, acknowledging the DNA results.

Nurin's father, Jazimin Abdul Jalil, a taxi driver, made the heartfelt plea at the Madrasah As-Sa'adah mosque where prayers were being held for Nurin before the burial.

"It is not the parents who should be blamed," he said.

"We loved our daughter. This is not our fault.
"You cannot blame us." thanks to the NST

I
Really felt bad for the parents and from this blog i send my deepest condolences ... and i also hope for a heavy punishment for the criminal ... a heavy punishment should be imposed o him if found ... there is no way of mercy , because he doesn't know mercy ...

This act is so bad, that i cant think of a punishment ... you rape, sexually abuse , kill and then dump the body of a young girl like that means you aren't a human ... and i think even the devil will not do such a thing ...

May Allah help the parents and punish the criminal ... in this life and the hereafter ...

anyway .. this week has been full of bad news as well ... on the other side of the paper ... Mourinho .. the manager of Chelsea, resigns .... wee, although im a supporter of Manchester United (since 1995) ... but i felt not-so-good-either ... the man gave the EPL that "different taste" ... and he stirred as well ... blending his own ideas in a football league that has been "conservative" for quite some time ... anyway .. farewell Mr.Mourinho ... the EPL and all of us will miss you ... and wish you all the success as well ... (btw , i was once an enemy of yours :)

its 10.10 night .. and i have to go ...

but before that ... i would like to shout here .. a place no one will hear me ... that i really regret knowing some people from our faculty ... the ICT Department and Compuetr Science ... those aret he type of people that will know you for something ... but once they get it ... they will pretend they never saw you the second day .. and then they will never greet you back unless they are cornered ... they will make themselves (blind) for a moment ... they think you want from them what they wanted from you .. they think that all relations are based on something .. like you have to need something to know a person ...

These people made me crazy with them ... but .. who cares????? .. right!!!!

I really hate those girls who will invent ideas about you wanting to have them as your girlfriends ... well idiots .. you didn't understand me after 3 years !!!!! .. i don't need no damn girl .. its not compulsory in life to have a boyfriend or girlfriend ... so leave me alone before i blow up in your face ..

dont try to show me , or prove to me that you arent interested in a relation ... because im not seeking it ... some guys and girls sucks out there .. this is computer science for Allah's sake ... learn to program .. not to love ...

(to be continued)

3 annoying types

salam and peace ...

1 - people who think they walk in an empty 3D space and never use the word "excuse me" or "sorry".

2 - People who walk too near to your back , to a limit that you can smell their breath although they are behind you ... and the same type who will leave half a step when going behind you on an escalator.

3 - The type who will ask you for something and then never notice that you helped them, even when that help saved them from some disaster ... and not just that .. they will also give you that grumpy look back ...

now the above are really really annoying ...

and today .. our partner at work mentioned something that i really wanted to share with the world ... he said:

Its not a matter of how long you live ... but its a matter of blessings you get during your life ...

He mentioned this after some other guy said when our friend arrived after we mentioned his name (this is famous) .. that our arriving friend has along life ... and they will tell that if you arrive after your name is mentioned you will live longer ...

and i think this a false statement and a false belief ... even if it was said to make you happy ... so hope we will not fool ourselves with these types of statements ...

2 Boys and a Girl

Peace and salam ...

Im presenting here a true story ... the view-point is my viewpoint ... i mean im writing based on how i see it ..

so it began ... long time ago during year 2006 ... there were these 2 boys and that 1 girl ... they were on a journey to some place to do some work ... it was specific and everyone knew what he was going for ...

Suddenly, the girl was too nice to one of the boys ... but it seems that the other boy didn't like it ... he was jealous ... but the 1st boy didn't notice whats going around him ... and he thought it was only jokes and teasing ... but at the end of the day .. the other boy lost his "joking" control and started to behave weirdly ... just to prove his point ... the main possibility is ... he's in love with the girl ...

wow! .. he's in love ... thats not the problem .. the problem is when he tries to provoke the first boy ... he tries to provoke him and continues until it reached a level that he begins to show what he really wants .. but he never mentions it ...

and now after a long time , the first finally understood .. but after the outing was screwed by the second boy .. and the girl never changed during that outing .. ... although she knew what was happening ... she kept on making the one that loves her fall in the trap of jealousy ...

now thats not what the first boy expected from the girl as he was trying to be nice with her .. not more , not less ... he was trying to return the "nice" things she did ...

and at the end ... the first and second boy's relation became too unstable .. and they nearly broke-up .. because that "innocent" girl ...

but the first boy decided to change the theme to "hidden feeling" .. as to preserve whats left from his friendship with that boy ... but then he found out that he was an idiot after all ... he was put in a situation that wasn't comfortable .. both for him and for them ... they should have just cleared out things from the beginning ... but they kept quite, tortured themselves and tortured the other boy ....


and this story will end in less than 4 month ... yah i know .. because im a witness to such a pathetic "friendship" between ... 2 boys and a girl ...

anyway ..

I just finished watching "Geisha Girl" ... a documentary about those Japaneses girls who wear Kimono and entertain customers (limited entertainment - officially- so they aren't legally prostitutes) ... anyway .. the interesting thing was their loyalty to the job and their respect to the profession ... its quite depressing and personally will never ever participate if i was a Japaneses girl :) .... but they will spend most of their life training, and the rest of their life is spent paying back their training fees ... unless a rich man "free" them .... I really feel bad for them .. as Islam provide them a better respect and status levels ... but maybe they never heard of it ... and Japan is facing many social problems although they are of the most advanced technologically .. maybe 10 years "in front" of other countries in the field of technology ... still they cant find happiness ... and i hope many of them will find it in this religion ...

So today im suffering alot at office .. network is down .. we have some problem with the ISP ... an event i cant handle really ... no internet means no business ..

so till we get that internet back .. i will continue with this online personal notes of mine ...

i cant wait to be posting some posts in Arabic .. but they wont be many .. im just waiting for something to begin writing in Arabic ...

Breaking-Fast .. near to Maju junction

Peace and salam ...


Me and my friend decided to have breakfast during this fastin month at K.L. ... so we went and enjoyed the food ..at KFC :)

Some of the weird thin i noticed was the very very early signs that says : Selamat Hari Raya .. or similar .. like comoooonnnn .. its just the beginning of the month ... its more of an ignorance to whats really going on ... or maybe a wish for this fabulous month to finish as fast as possible as if it doesn't exist ... forgetting that Hari Raya is nothing without this month ... so a "Selamat berbuka puasa" is a better slogan .. at least in the first 15 days .... anyway .. who cares!!!

Then there these weird dreams im having these days ... lost in maze of stairs within Semua House's stairway ... walking on a very thin light bridge made of ropes ... and many more things that i will not mention ...

so tonight i will be missing Taraweeh as well ... since i had some papers to finish and need to download some files as well .. AAArrghhhhh

and the hunt for a Final year project is still going .. not yet settle-lah ... it all boils down to the very limited knowledge we gathered in the past 3 years of Uni ... time runs very fast ... really ... i still remember my first day at Uni before 3 years ... since i got lost in that huge campus anyway ...


Comment of the day ... "and AbDdU's Special Comment" ..

THIS IS NOT HIJAB ... EVEN IF YOU COVER YOUR HAIR - DONT FOOL YOURSELF ... AND YES YOU ARE FOOLING YOURSELF IF YOU WEAR THIS ASSUMING YOU ARE ON "HIJAB" ... so in the image covering the WHOLE Face .. how CRUEL i am .... this comment came-up as i found that females don't really understand what the heck is wrong with their attire ... HIJAB IS COVERING YOURSELF ... NOT COVERING YOUR SKIN



Now in this image .. all the dimensions are clear ... unless you want to look like a Bi** ... you don't really have to wear this type of cloth

On the bus to campus

Alslam ..

and peace ..

Well , yah .. while on the bus to campus , Iv saw things that shouldnt be seen in this month ... many many things ..

I saw some peopel who claim to be something , but look like another ... i have not felt Ramadan in that bus ... it was quite disapointing ... it has become a norm .. no one sees it unusual anymore ...

and at the same time there was the life and hereafter expo ... there were signs .. and there were people promoting ...

but i dont think many of us students here .. Read, Listen or watch .... it seems like the majority of students dont actually feel or know of the problem ...

welll ... the problem is .. we are nothing .. we are just plain dumb-asses walking around campus without even knowing whats going around at campus or around the world ... it seems no one reads about Islam, nor ethics ...

forget ethics ... this campus has become just another place to be at ... it has lost its soul ...

and we can only blame those who isolate themselves , wothout being able to voice out the truth ... hoping that they will be in heaven ... forgetting that we will be asked about what we did to spread the word ...

why make expos and lectures if you dont really want to share what you learn in them ... at least if you cant share it in English ... share it in your language .. Malay ... but it seems society here likes to keep quite .. even in dangerous situations ...

well now i have to go and pick up my sister's marriage pictures ... i have no time to write more

Reporting : From Masjid Jamek

Alslam - peace -

Well .. first Friday of Ramadan ... so i decided to head Masjid Jamek, for those unaware its a very old Masjid located at Kuala Lumpur - its the oldest by the way - a 100 years mosque ...

Before the Khutbah began, they had a very nice "lecture" or "Ceramah" .. as called in Malay ... i really liked the speaker ... it was in Malay ... so i'l try to translate some of it ...

The speaker began with reciting a verse from AlQuran ... 2:183 O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you

But he didn't stop .. and mentioned another verse , from the same Surah or chapter ... O ye who believe! Al-Qissas is prescribed to you ....

and al-qissas here refers to the Punishment for certain acts.

So he said: we happily accept the first ,with joy and full enthusiasm ... but when it comes to the other verse ... which is in the same surah and uses the same language and has the same structure and order-form. ... we will then not have the same response as the first ...

and the full verse goes:

"O you who believe! Prescribed for you is Al-Qisas (legal retribution : Something justly deserved; recompense) in the case of the murdered: the free for the free, the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. But if the killer is forgiven by the brother of the killed against blood-money, then adhering to it with fairness and payment of the blood-money to the heir should be made in fairness. This is an alleviation and a mercy from your Lord. But whoever transgresses after that will have a painful punishment. And in Al-Qisas (legal retribution) there is a saving of life for you, O people of understanding, that you may become righteous." [Al-Baqarah 2:178,179]

but as the speaker said .. we take from the Quran what we like ... and deny or neglect what we don't like ... based on personal desires ...

and this ignorance will only lead to more gruesome killings ... as the murderer knows he will not be punished that severe anyway ...

He also talked about the Belief (Iman) , Taqwq (Fear -of allah) ... and mentioned that it should be our source of unity and strength, referring to the 50 years of Independence, and how the strengthened "Malay" feeling during those years overcame the "Islam" feeling, and if it wasn't for that Islamic and Iman feeling among many, he wondered what will have happened to the "Malay" ...

and while im writing this, im hearing on TV, a rape scene from some stupid Egyptian series ... the scene lasted for more than 30 minutes ... it was really, really , really annoying ... i guess it was one of those wacky, insane and idiotic producers and writers of such pathetic series ... and they want to show this on TV, during Ramadan .. it was aired on channel ART, they call the Arab Radio and Television ... yah rite ... they only broadcast garbage ... although i was inside the room , i could hear the screams outside ... the easy solution was to change he damn channel

back to our speaker, he ended with a really sad story of the companions, and how they suffered for the sake of this religion ... a sacrifice that we forget ... we only remember that Mr Independence sacrificed for our countries ... but those sacrificed not just for a nation .. they sacrificed to save our beloved prophet, they sacrificed for Islam and they sacrificed so the message will remain alive, so it will reach us today ...

but ... we never cared .. we never read history ... we never read at all ...

we will stay like this forever .. or become worse .. unless someone stands up and speak aloud ...

You, me , or whatever .. the word must be spread .. or we will never be able to answer on the day of judgment ...

Ramadan ... at Kuala Lumpur ..

Alslam - peace - to all ..

Its the 1st day of Ramadan ... September 2007, Kuala Lumpur (K.L) not as usual .. and everything is misplaced, it began with a small jam at the morning, but it was ok ... Streets filled with extra stalls ... specially TAR area ...

but still some Muslims arent aware that this is a so-called special month ... like at least we should change "abit" ... at least we feel that its a different month ... - although that feeling isnt suppose to be only in this month - but i can still see those who pretend nothing is happening ... walking on the streets just like any other day ... unaware of the en-ethical state they are in ... like a guy putting his hand on the back-pocket of his "girlfriend" jeans, 2 others walking their hands and bodies "glued" to each other, those deeply-tight jeans are still on the loose ..

but mainly the streets are less crowded, probably i should wait for 5 or after that ...

still havn't witnessed how it is at campus ... should be testing it in the coming days ... inshallah ... although i have a feeling that it will be disappointing for such an institute to have such samples ... roaming and walking around for no respect - even to themselves -

so i began this day with unstable health ... flu in the morning, and a some disturbing stomachache

So il just wait and observe how this Ramadan will be treated .. specially observing my own self ... as my past Ramadans weren't really planned or focused and i regret loosing the chance to something ... this Ramadan should be different ... inshallah ... hope to see some progress from all aspects ....

And before i end ... Finally , i have registered my last subjects at Uni. , and next sem will be the last ... finally ... but now i have to squeeze my brain and my partner's brain for some final year project idea ... it felt so great to register those last subjects ... although there were obstacles from here and there .... virtual obstacles made by the department ... but the registration went fine ... and we are now on the process of getting the idea ...

There are quiet a number of fields ... from Cryptography, Security, Embedded systems to Neural networks .. and choosing a topic from these fields isnt that easy ... it requires a strategy ... a strategy that will lead to a finished project ...

all for the moment

FYP = Final Year Project (MEETING 1)

Alslam (peace) ...

well , well , welll ..... it was a disaster ... empty promises .... people who like to talk alot and do little ... shout ... preach ... but little done ...

it was quite disappointing ... i reached earlier in the morning, hoping to meet old "pals" ... but it was again .. a disaster ... as usual .. no one has the "intention" to come ... we do this , we do that .. this the slogan .. but when it comes to implementation ... i dont know lahhhhh .. who cares!!!! ..

yah .. this was always the behavior and attitude of " WHO CARES!!!!" .... yah .. who cares ... nobody cares ... no one will ... whatever happen to the other .. as long as im having fun .. who cares ....

this is year 4 guys ... and girls ....

if u still don't have the "appetite" to discuss about technologies ... then find some other business to do ... computer science was always about discussion .. because u cant understand everything by your own ... and if u want to learn by your own ..please do let me know of what you will learn in the next 10 years .... "Garbage"....

we witness creativity at western universities ... so we blame our university ... no one blames himself for not being responsible ...

well ... if u say i will ... and don't do ... thats called irresponsible ... be it a small or big matter ...

im just saying this , because im really disgusted by what happened today ....

DISGUSTING ... it is to say and dont do ... moreover , pretend that you care ....

Advice .. nasihah ...

Salam and peace to all ...

A tiring week it has been ... really tiring ... and it shouldn't be ending ...

anyway .. have learned alot from some Problem solving and algorithms ... its quite interesting to let your brain work ... and i'v found out that we rarely think about a problem ,,, so now im getting the idea of how to look at games and puzzles - at least using different point-of-views ...

as well ... the long awaited ummatic week has been canceled or postponed ( not sure which) , and our Fasting month is coming ... now i really don't know how to arrange time for this special month ... its either eat better food at home or pray at our grand mosque ... we'll figure that out ...

Today .. Sinar (not sure of full name) , the newspaper is out ... a very interesting idea .. its a newspaper that takes care of the capital Kuala Lumpur and Selangor province ... sure will be reading that , as its more focused ... on places at least i heard of ... not like when you present me with problems at JB or other states ...

Now lets head for abit of discussion ...

its about life ... people and feelings ...

Sometimes we find ourselves surrounded by people ... we knew for a long time ... but suddenly we feel we never knew them ... probably they are trying to tell ... "I have known you for something ... i wanted .. and now i got it ..so scram!!!!!" ...

Well this is what i feel at least ... judge me of being over-sensitive for caring about this ... but im wondering ..and it really disturbs me ... of how they think .. i mean ... what goes into their mind after they do this ... ???? do they just forget and restart another session???? ... sometime you just feel all people around are up to something ... they need something ...

like in the past few weeks , i got some sms's and calls from people not remembered for a long time ... then to discover after sometime that they wanted help in something else ...

now please ... that disgusting ....

now lets move away from personal thoughts and feelings ... lets move towards a different topic .. a topic touched in previous posts ... "Criticism" ...

We have that : everyone is accountable, no one is beyond criticism ... furthermore, the freedom to criticize should not be used as a mean of degrading people or tarnishing their image, or just as a mean to hurt other's feelings ... but at the end it depends on how much you know the person in most cases ...

There are some conditions that must be met in order to ensure the validity of a given criticism ...

(1) - It is necessary to establish the facts an ascertain the grounds on which criticism is based.
So if someone comes to you with some news, make sure its correct. It should no be based
on assumptions or false ideas.
(2) - The critic should criticize based on the truth. so he shouldn't criticize based on something
he is not sure of. And if he was to know that mistake then its under lying or worse
hypocrisy.
(3) - The criticsm must suit the occasion, it must be courteous and effective.

We must always remember that Nasihah (advice) was never forcing, if you have something that you think is true, it doesn't really have to be the same with the other .... maybe the other is aware of the wrong-doing ... but waiting for the time to change (forgetting that death is an unknown variable) ... so here comes the art of discussion ... something we need to practice ourselves for and with ... for discussions and with discussions ...

Well seems like im giving some advice ... but while im writing this, i always think of myself ... and remember my friends statement "we must advice ourselves first" ... "so this is just a reminder , in case we forgot" ... (famously said by UmmahFilms director and creator)


walslam (peace)
