Saya bukan Konservatif.
Boleh luangkan masa untuk sedikit kuiz?
Selalu sangat saya menulis terus-menerus. Baik,kali ini, saya sendiri pun mahu ‘ringan-ringan’ sahaja.
Cuma kali ini,dengan izin,saya mahu tinggalkan sebentar bahasa kebangsaan kita dengan sengaja. (Saya tahu di luar sana sedang ‘hangat’,tapi saya tiada niat sama sekali mengecilkan kedaulatan bahasa kita. Tiada sikit pun. Dengan izin,ya.)

So, this is going to be really simple. I’ll jot down couple of situations, and I really appreciate if you can spend some times to guess in which culture we can find these kinds of situations. No thinking or pondering . I want it to be a straight away guessings. Just spontaneously tell yourselves the answers. For example : Eating halal kebab. Possible culture in : Pakistani community, UK.
1. A guy wearing long sleeves cotton tweed jackets, small ‘GAP’ labels at his right chest, with a khakis shorts sitting on a soft creamy brown couch in front of a stylish wooden coffee table with glass surface. In front of him is a white MacBook Pro, a large white cup with a ‘Starbucks’ logo imprinted in green, filled with classic CaffĂ© Mocha, next to it. He’s busy talking to a friend with his Blackberry while his other hand clutching a book titled ‘Sit Down While Money Comes’. And oh yes, I forgot, he’s wearing a Timberland Becka shoe.

3. A lovely young couple, walking together side by side. The young girl is wearing a white spaghetti strap top with a blue denim mini skirt, and the young man is wearing navy blue sleeveless shirt, green cargo pants, and a red shimagh scarf around his neck. So romantic they are, as the guy is holding tight his girl’s curvy waist, while the girl let him sniff her lavender-scented red hair as her head is right at his shoulder. They stop over at a private photobooth for a God-knows amazing photo session (as they thought), and then go back together to their apartment.
Ok. Enough for that I think. Now like what I’ve said, you should now have in your mind three or less cultures in which all the situations could be found. You may also guess where they exactly happen if you want to be more precise.
Now that I’m much tormented in writing these all not using my native language, I’ll be glad if you’ll spend some more time to proceed more on this writing, which of course will be continued in my lovely Bahasa. Just let me take a break first.

Dari Hati Kecil Si Kecil.

Surat ini ditulis oleh seorang cilik dari Gaza. Tanpa sebarang prejudis. Ini petikan kecilnya.
********
I really don’t want to be your enemy Mr. President, you Americans have nice movies, nice burger, nice coke, we can easily love you, but you don’t give us any space. Arming Israelis to shower us with phosphorus peace, burning us with DIME peace, destroying our schools with cluster peace and peacefully making me an orphan… and now I am threatened to lose the last person left in my family, that doesn’t make you a biased mediator or a strong ally to the enemy Mr. President, that makes you THE ENEMY.
I don’t think it is smart to have a strong enemy like you, but what can I do Mr. President? Apparently it is your choice and I have nothing to do about it.
Don’t worry Mr. President, everything is settled, I live with my cousin, he is preparing me emotionally that I may lose him, he told me what to do when he dies.
I know what to do, I went to a friend and I asked him to list me with the resistance and not to tell my cousin, he said that I am still a child, so I asked my cousin (without telling him the reasons of course) to find a way to smuggle milk and cheese through the tunnels so I can grow up fast and strong and join the resistance to be a nice young man like my cousin, to defend other families, to save the souls of other mothers and fathers, to protect other children from becoming orphans like me.
As for you, try to reconsider finding out who annoyed you in my district and made you insisting on killing us all, I swear I will tear him into pieces.
Best regards to you and special respect to your daughters…. I’ll pray for them in order not to face my destiny.
Sincerely
Ali

Saudi grand mufti criticises pro-Gaza protests
By Abdul Rahman Shaheen, Correspondent
Published: January 11, 2009, 15:39
Riyadh: The Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia Shaikh Abdul Aziz Alu Al Shaikh, who is also head of the Senior Scholars Commission, lambasted the pro-Gaza protests held in several Arab and Muslim countries last Friday calling it a nonsense.
"These are nonsense and do no good to anybody," he said in remarks published on Saturday. "The mob does not bring any good, and there is no benefit out of it.
"It is pure nonsense," he said, adding that such useless acts should be replaced by donations to the Palestinians.
"Paying money and sending aid are beneficial, but demonstrations are ... useless mob and noise," he said.

Hari itu dalam Sejarah.
" Boleh jadi sesuatu kerja yang kecil jadi besar dengan niat,
Dan boleh jadi sesuatu kerja yang besar jadi kecil dengan niat "
Kita sudah saksikannya.
Moga-moga ini satu dari banyak lagi rantaian kembalinya taring ummah di akhir zaman ini.
Dan ini : Karamah Mujahideen Gaza
Kita beriman dengan kemenangan yang Allah janjikan.
Masyarakat Gaza kini masyarakat Qudwah umat Islam di dunia.
Dan apabila ciri-ciri masyarakat Gaza sudah menebar di muka bumi, saat itu apa yang Allah janjikan turun ke atas bumi seluruhnya.
"Maka ambillah 'IBRAH wahai orang yang mempunyai pandangan mata & hati"
