MICHAEL JACKSON IS OFFICIALLY A MUSLIM!

AMERICAN POP star Michael Jackson has embraced Islam and his new name is Mikaeel. According to a report in The Sun, the 50-year-old singer converted to Islam at a friend’s mansion in Los Angeles. The report said that Jackson pledged his allegiance to the Holy Quran at a small ceremony. Jackson, wearing a small hat, sat on the floor after an Imam was summoned to officiate at the conversion ceremony. An Imam was summoned from a mosque and Michael went through the Shahada, which is the Muslim declaration of Islamic belief.

Michael Joseph Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, as the seventh child of the Jackson family, an American family of famous musicians. Infact, Michael Jackson is the second member of the Jackson family to embrace Islam.

Michael’s elder brother Jermaine Jackson or Mohammed Abdul Aziz embraced Islam in the year 1989, following his tour of some Middle-East countries. During his tour Jermaine reportedly met up with some Muslim families in Bahrain whose way of living impressed him a lot and he converted to Islam. However, Jermaine Jackson publicly expressed his Islamic belief after having been a part of UK’s famous show Big Brother, where he offered prayers and observed fast in the house as well. Jermaine Jackson had reportedly persuaded Michael Jackson to become a Muslim and gave him several books on the religion.

Jackson’s new name, Mikaeel, is the name of one of Allah’s angels. Another name suggested to the star was Mustafa, meaning ’the chosen one’, but he rejected it. However, Michael Jackson has not furnished the reason for embracing Islam.

Random thought

I just got out of my shower at 11.34 p.m. and as soon I step my foot out of the bathroom, I felt utterly COLD! I shivered so hard my teeth rattled.
What crosses my mind now is what would it be like in Korea in December. If I couldn't stand the cold here, what about there??

Oh, one more thing... I must try finding a halal sushi restaurant in Korea! Don't wanna miss that opportunity.

36 DAYS TO 2009

It's 36 more days to new year 2009. So far, how did everything go for me... Time does fly by fast, huh.

It was a usual morning in February when I received a letter in school. With my name stated, the letter hereby announced for me to be posted to a different school.

I recalled that moment being relieved rather than shocked. So, I began my work at a new environment, a different school, new colleagues starting March. I've been working here ever since. The best part of being here is the short drive to work. Everything else is normal.

I do miss my former colleagues, especially Salina & Laili, of costtt... The difference now is that, this year my colleagues are are rather older than me. They're more like my aunts.

They've been in this profession more than 10 years, unlike me.

I am glad that I've no problem communicating with them. Getting to know them I gained lotsa knowledge. Well, most of the time they're crappy+hilarious knowledge, I may say.

Coming to the end of this year and after the PSR was over, I did enjoy the fun just being with this bunch. Hehehe...

I look up to them career-wise. Hence, I learnt that next year we won't be hanging together as much anymore. They'll be taking over Primary 4 while I will be staying to teach Primary 6. I'll sure miss them next year.

Taklimat Fardhu Ain dan Kifayah

Taklimat Fardhu Ain dan Kifayah ini dilaksanakan oleh sebuah syarikat swasta.

They're promoting their collection of educational VCD about Islamic knowledge.

I particularly like a set of VCD exclusively for women delivered by Mashitah (correct me if I'm wrong). The info are priceless!

I envy those bloggers with super-cool layouts.
I, on the other hand, have no idea on how to magically transform it. That sucks, big time! I wish someone could do it for me. Otherwise, I might stay with this layout as long as I live...

Proposal...proposal... Haven't got time to sit down and focus on it yet. It has to be ready by next week, before the deadline 29th November.
Uggghhhhh....

I can't make up my mind on what topic to do research on. HELP!!

Making it happen - Part 1

Map of Korea

Paid deposits to the travel agency for our upcoming 'outdated-honeymoon' vacation. Departure date will be on the 19th December. Can't wait for that!

Tonight I was lepak-ing with my sistas. We discussed a bit more on what to wear during winter. I'm absolutely psyched over it.... *sigh*
Necessary items: winter coat, thermal clothings (leggings & top), scarf, gloves (I prefer leather), lotion/moisturiser.
They warned me about my skin getting itchy without lotion. And that my nostril will get uncomfortable from breathing in the cold weather. My nose will probably turn red too. So I better watch out for that.

I've no idea how it's like to be in a rather cold country. Korea in winter time... Too bad that we've to be off on the 25th. It'll be Christmas time then, and the travel agent informed us of 'naik harga' during that time.

The atmosphere is soooo boring here in S.R. Rimba II with all the talk & briefing of SPN21. It seems impossible to imagine schools reform at this stage, without much equipments what-so-ever needed next year. I'm pretty sure the teachers are as confused as I am.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm thinking of end of year gifts for 5 students that I carefully picked out for achieving their goals in PSR. Four of them are girls. One boy passed with 4-D's. Mind you, he's physically unfit and yet managed to pass unlike 10 of his classmates!
I do feel sorry for the rest who failed... Sorry that they didn't work hard enough... Sorry that they didn't make an effort to learn the basics for the past six years they've spent in school.
But I am glad that one boy actually had put his mind and strength together. I don't know what the future brings, but I wish him the best of luck.

So, for now I'm thinking hard figuring out gift ideas for my boy and girls. One girl got 5-A's. I need to get something extra special. I'm blanked right now.... I better get some sleep.

What have I been up to today....

My December Wishlist & Things To Look Forward To

This list will eventually continue until the time comes for us to go away for the holiday.

So, here we go....

1) I hope I'm lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Rain when we get to Korea.

His song "Love Story" melts me away.

2) Go out shopping like there's no tomorrow. I might need to bring lotsa ca$h!!!

3) Take lotsa pictures!

4) Go crazy sightseeing to the romantic places.

5) Stand in the snow & try hard to fight the cold.

6) The opportunity to wear the coolest outfit, gloves, wintercoat...

'Single Ladies' song

Here are the many different versions of dancing performances taken from 'Single Ladies' by Beyonce. I picked out a couple of them from youtube.

Extremely hilarious! Watch who's sexy dancing it! "We're the dancers!"

It's real GOLD!

Hubb and I went out tonite to Yayasan. We had a nice dinner of dim sum there. Sometime around 8.30 later, we walked to the car at the basement.

As hubb drove out of the parking spot, I somehow got a glimpse of sumwhat looked like a chain just hanging on a metal hook attached on a wall. I didn't get a closer look at it, but hubb decided to go round it another time just to get a closer sight of it. I let out a sigh saying it's probably a 'sitat baju'...We got around a second time and it really looked like a small golden chain with crystal beads. Anxiety made us go a final round and this time hubb stopped the car and took it to the car. IT'S A GOLDEN BRACELET!

Shocked, I couldn't believe what's now in my hand. How could someone just leave it around hanging on a metal hook. It looked like someone has left it purposely there. If it did belong to someone, logically the bracelet should be lying on the ground rather than elsewhere hanging on a hook!

And now, what should I do with it??

MORNING TILL AFTERNOON

What I've been up to today.....

>>MORNING --- Bawa murid/peserta perempuan bagi Kejohanan Rentas Desa yang berlangsung di Sekolah Rendah Angkatan Tentera Laut Muara.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here are some snapshots that I gotten at Rizqun during the hi-tea. Enjoy!

PSR RESULTS are finally released!

The long-awaited results are finally out. (Apologies for the grades arrangement for each participant). Sucks! It is so difficult to edit from its original format. Over and over again, everything fell back into place. I don't get it.

You may also click the link below to get the full PSR results from all over Brunei Darussalam. [By the way, I originally got it from Ranoadidas]. So, you may also check it out from there.

Internet addict???

With the monthly bill for eSpeed usage; Facebook-ing; blogging; song downloading via Limewire, Bearshare....

I always seem to have excuses to turn on my computer and connect to the internet.

So which one am I really: internet addict OR computer addict??
I'm not that sure myself. I certainly use up my eSpeed bill as much as I could possibly able to.

I remember the time when I had a whole week of no internet access. I didn't thought of going crazy, but I do feel cheated by the service.

Computer addict...well, if I do use alot of my time editting photos using Photoshop, then I might consider myself being computer addict. Or, Photoshop addict to be exact!

Whatever that I am addicted to, I guess I just don't wanna be left out, as far as internet is concerned. After all, it is one of my access or route to any form of information.

YOUTUBE-ing

Just wanna share with you and have a laugh.

BUDI. TEH TARIK ASLI. BANAR.

Nasib Si-Charles & Si-Keith

Pagi tadi dalam jam 7.45 a.m. kuar pejabat sekajap untuk menghantar Ngah Mina naik Haji.
However, lapas balik dari sana untuk ke tempat kerja semula, tiba-tiba lain rasa langkah kaki kananku. Cek punya cek, rupanya depan tapak kasutku lakap! Haiyaaa...

Cemana bulih Charles & Keith yang ku pakai kurang dari setahun bulih lakap? Bukannya dibawa sampai ke hutan. Ishhh... Kacau eh. Baik jua ada spare selipar di bawah mejaku. And most importantly, baik jua selasai sudah balik dari bejalan. Bari hawar saja!

Food Security Exhibition

Today, I had the opportunity to get out of school with Primary 6 students along with 4 other teachers to the ICC in the morning.

Turned out that the term 'Food Security' used here simply means having a 'control diet over food intake'. So basically it promotes generous food that we eat.

The exhibition area seemed quiet. There weren't much to look at as we walked our way through. However, as far as 'generous food and control diet' goes, there's one particular area where we finally sat down and really get to enjoy as much -- the EATING ZONE. Now, this area promotes AYAMKU, JOLLIBEE, TASCONI PIZZA, etc.

I guess it all comes down to reality. We are what we eat. I gulped down a chicken burger and ice milo myself. So tempting!

I'll put up photos taken today next time. So stay tune...

FOOD SECURITY EXHIBITION

Random image...

Oh gosh! Someone could drown there.

This image targets a large pot hole in a UBD parking area. It's bad enough that the area is in a sorry state, yet no action was taken in improving this parking lot.

*Rewind mode* Looking thru old photos...

* Mummy carrying me with Yenny.*

That white Toyota back then was our first car.

All that was left is the license plate KA3900 that has been with me now, on my first car.

Norman Hakim + Abby Abadi = cerai???

I am very much crushed with the breaking news regarding Norman Hakim & Abby Abadi's marriage.

Been reading and googling for their news lately.

Check out the links below:

I guess she has come to this point that she just wants to stop being humiliated.

Poor Abby... I truly hope they'll get back together.

Car modifications - I just don't get it!

There are a few car modifications that I just don't agree with.

It's really annoying to drive at night and having to face car headlights that makes you squint right until it passes you by. While crystal white coloured headlights look cool on some cars (especially on Lexus), believe me when I say it annoys other road users if you have to choose a slightly brighter headlights than normal ones.

Some car owners go way overboard choosing a slightly green colour headlights. I don't get it! Why green?? I remember when I first encountered it on the road (many years back). I thought the traffic light was moving!

And last but not least, I wish people would stop putting that chrome Transformer logo on the front grill of their car. I just don't get it. There's no way in hell your car would turn into a robotic Transformer figure, you know.

Uggghhh... So fugly!

Barack Obama is making history

Congratulations to Obama for winning the election.

I have very much respect for Michelle Obama. She's well educated, as well as she is a loving person. She has a strong personality, as Barack Obama passionately stated in his speech "the rock of the family".

It seems like viewers are starting to pay more attention to what Mrs. Obama will be wearing after being the First Lady.

Check the link below to view Michelle Obama Fashion. You'll be impressed after seeing this.

She's now a role model for others in the world of 'affordable' fashion.

I want this! *Bzzzzzzttt*

TASER - An electroshock weapon that uses Electro-Muscular Disruption (EMD) technology[1] to cause neuromuscular incapacitation or NMI[2] and strong muscle contractions through the involuntary stimulation of both the sensory nerves and the motor nerves. The Taser is not dependent on pain compliance making it highly effective on subjects with high pain tolerance.

Dinner at Misato Kiulap

Had a fantabulous dinner at Misato Kiulap with husband, sisters, bro-in-law and sister's boyfriend.
Sat there for hours! It was drizzling then at 9-ish.

Heard some good news that I'm yet to share here though. It is a bit personal.

Oh! And my very own favourite and long-awaited series of HEROES Season 3 starts tonight. I better get myself the downloaded version. I can't stand waiting a whole week for the next episode! Ain't that patient...

Personal rants

This past few days, or rather weeks, been busy with personal projects done among ourselves (Pr. 6 class teachers). We've been doing some baking and cooking.
It's extra fun for us since we've all finished with our syllabus and teaching. I like the idea of coming to work knowing that I don't have to worry about preparing for teaching. So that excites most of us - in a daily basis.

Unfortunately, the not-so-fun part is being asked to relief for other classes!
We've been 'babysitting' for a whole week now. It's annoying enough that we can't very much spend our sweet time doing our own work (sorting through stock books). We're being assigned to fill in stock books within 2 years back.

Am I complaining, yeah... Not with the stock books, but the 'babysitting'!

It took a week for the Telbru technicians to fix our internet connection. A WEEK! Batah eh... Bukan lagi seminggu nada internet ani..labih tia pulang. Kapisan menunggu, banar tah. Balik2 menepun buat komplen.

Jarang jua diri ani inda meng-on internet nyamu dlm seminggu. Sewa bulanan kana charge panuh jua. Ishhh... bari marah saja.
