LAILATUL QADAR


hmm...diam tak diam, kita telah melepasi separuh Ramadhan. Dalam kita sibuk dengan isu2 pengambilan kerajaan baru yang dijadualkan pada 16 Sept lalu dan selepas itu isu hangat pelan peralihan kuasa Pak Lah disusuli pula dengan isu2 Lehman bersaudara, AIG dan lain2 lagi. Kita kini berada didalam sepuluh Ramadhan terakhir. Maka Lailatul Qadar menjadi buruan dan impian kita semua.

Lailatul Qadar atau Lailat Al-Qadar (bahasa Arab: لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ ) (malam ketetapan) adalah satu malam penting yang terjadi pada bulan Ramadhan, yang dalam Al Qur'an digambarkan sebagai malam yang lebih baik dari seribu bulan. Dan ianya juga diperingati sebagai malam turunnya Al Qur'an. keistimewaan malam ini dijelaskan pada Surat Al Qadar, surat ke-97 dalam Al Qur'an.

" Rasulullah ShallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam beri'tikaf di sepuluh hari terkahir bulan Ramadhan dan beliau bersabda, yang artinya: "Carilah malam Lailatul Qadar di (malam ganjil) pada 10 hari terakhir bulan Romadhon" " (HR: Bukhari 4/225 dan Muslim 1169)

Semoga kita semua adalah dikalagan yang terpilih untuk bertemu malam Lailatul Qadar. InsyAllah.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IWAN


On this day 8 years ago around 6.30 a.m, I welcomed my third son into the world. Amir Safwan Mohd Dzulkifli. I must say, he is a bit different than his other 3 brothers. He looked different and act different. He's unique.




Amir Safwan, ayah, umi, your brothers and little sister wish you a very happy 8th birthday, May Allah bless you always.

Ramadhan and Merdeka



Ramadhan datang lagi. Syukur Alhamdulillah, aku masih bernafas untuk menikmatinya buat ke 38 kali. Semoga Ramadhan kali ini lebih baik dari yang lepas. Kepada semua kawan-kawan, sepuluh jari disusun memohon maaf diatas ketelanjuran kata-kata atau laku.

Kemerdekaan negara yang ke 51 juga akan disambut beberapa hari lagi. kalau tahun lepas, sambutannya gemilang sekali sejajar dengan setengah abad kemerdekaan negara. Mungkin tahun ini agak kurang kerana langkah berjimat cermat kerajaan(kononnya la). Kemerdekaan kali ni menarik kerana cuaca politik negara begitu hangat sekali. DSAI ynag sedang meneruskan perjuangannya untuk perubahan yang lebih baik begitu ditakuti oleh puak2 BN.

Bajet 2009 pula dilihat sebagai langkah terdesak pak lah untuk memenangi wakil2 dari sabah dan sarawak.

Apa pun, semoga kita semua sejahtera dan sentiasa mendapat petunjuk dan perlindungan Allah S.W.T

Selamat menjalani ibadah puasa, selamat menyambut kemerdekaan ke 51..

GLORY...GLORY MAN UTD!!!


YEAHHHHH.....Man Utd was again crowned the best football team in Europe. Chelsea were beaten fair and square. I watched the game live at a mamak restaurant with a few friends and neighbours. I was suprised to see the crowd at the restaurant. It was full house as if it was at 8.30 - 10.00p.m. They even ran out of tables, chairs and even glasses!!!!

Here's how I summed up the game :

first half - It was tensed, man utd was controlling the game with their pin point accuracy passing while chelsea look a little bit nervy but who can blame them, it's their first ever UCL final. 75% of ball possession was with Man Utd. Then on the 24th minute, Brown crossed to the far post and of all the players, Ronaldo met the cross and headed the ball into Cech's goal post.

The fan went ecstatic!!. every Man Utd fan at the restaurant was jumping and congragulating each other even if they don't know each other!!!...(that's the power of football). While the blues fan was looking a bit jaded, they are still positive of a come back and come back they did with a scarrpy goal at the very last minute of the first half. It was a lucky goal not more than that(the way i look at it la...)but it was Ronaldo's failure to close down Esien shot that spark the goal. then followed by carrick who was ball watching and not marking Lampard who went for the rebound.

Second half - Chelsea started the half more confidently. For a good 10 minutes Man Utd failed to get the ball past the half. Chelsea's players were all over and closing down own Schloes, Ronaldo, Carrick and Hargreaves faster. They hit the post twice through Drogba and Lampard which had my heart pumping like a bullet train!!!..they dominated the half with some good ball distribution and solid midfield. The Man Utd fan were at the edge of their sit most of the time during the second half watching their team defending solidly through the half.

Extra time - Nothing much can be said for the first half. Both team share the fair amount of ball posession, both trying hard to create an opening that could decide the game but it was not meant to be. In the second half, both players started to show their tiredness. Cramps and muscle pull was clearly shown in their faces. Towards the end of the second half of extra time, Drogba was sent off for slapping Vidic on the face after an incident which involved all the players except Van Der Sar. However, it was to little of a time for Man Utd to capitalised on the game and it ended still 1-1 and went to penalty kicks..

Penalty kicks - phewww...I must say, as much as the players of both team were tired, we were tired ourselves that night or morning shall I say cause it"s already nearly 5 in the morning. All I can say here was that Ronaldo of all people missed the spot kick(I had a feeling that would happen). John Terry(JT) missed the glorious chance of winning UCL after he also missed the spot kick. He did a Beckham slip and the shot went wide to the right. Many thanks to JT. Anelka, what more can I say...I never like him actually. His kick was brilliantly palm away by Van Der Sar and the celebration begins!!!!!

We retreat ourselves at about 6 a.m after cooling ourselves out and get our heart pumping normally again. Everyone faces were brimming with smiles and sense of satisfaction, that is apart from the Chelsea fan though.

GLORY...GLORY...GLORY MAN UTD!!!!!

astro run for fun





dah lama dah tak menulis kat blog aku ni...hari ni rasa terpanggil la nak mencatatkan beberapa perkara menarik in my life lately...and this is one of it..

Astro run for fun has always been the much awaited event for my kids for the year or so...and this is no different..

This year the venue was at Shah Alam Stadium....and the route was within the compound of the stadium. Although it is not as adventurous as last year but logistically, it is easier to control. With the recent child missing scenario, the organizer sure did not want to take any chanches.

man utd

Another defeat to nieghbour Man City this season. While Man Utd remembered those who lost their lives 50 years ago in the Munich air disaster, the blue half of the city dealt a major blow to red dreams of retaining the Premier League by running out 2-1 victors.

Man Utd was never their selves in that game. The normal fluid passes and mesmerizing football was not seen instead some slopy passes and too much individual skills was very clear during the first half of the game. Rio was not his best either and left vidic to cover for his mistake much of the time. The absent of Rooney and Evra was significant. Man Utd lack the penetration on the left side as well as up front. Altough O'shea did well to cover the left side but he lacks the daunting run and pin point crossing.

Man City was 2-0 up half way through the first half. Van Der Sar did all he could to stop the first goal but surely after stopping two point blank attempt from Man City, the third shot was too much to ask. The second goal left him helpless. The ball sailed passed him to the right corner with Van Der Sarr diving in vain.

In the second half Man Utd was more of thier normal selves. Scholes with superb passes set Tevez for a half volley shot that was equally saved by City's keeper. Nothing much can be said of Ronaldo in the game. He was heavily marked on the left, right and center. Hamman played a vital role in stopping Man utd from the midfield together with Fernandes and Stephen Ireland.

Coming into the one hour mark, Sir Alex was desperate for more attacking game. He brought in Park for Nani and later Carrick and Hargreves for O'shea and Anderson who seem to be running out of steam. Switching to 3-5-2 seem to put more bite to Utd attack but City defender and keeper on form, defeat looks adamant. Man Utd managed to pull one goal through Micheal Carrick in injury time but it was too late.

a lucky draw

Phheeeww...lady luck finally decided to come down on man utd yesterday night. The match against Spurs at white hart lane was not an easy one. I watched the game with a few friends at a mamak restaurant and i must say...its hard being a fan of man utd..almost half the spectators were against man utd. Given the fine performance of man utd lately, who can blame the anti utd fan for being jealous. Throughout the whole match they are making remarks after remarks of the man utd players and cheered everytime we loose the ball or received the yellow 'ang pow' from referee Mark Clattenburg.

But at the end of the day, when the ball finally stuck the spurs net, it was sheer estacy for me...............

GGOOOOOOAAALLLLLL!!!!!!!!!

The looks at those jokers face when we scored was really priceless....and immediately after that they became very quiet and later start talking about other teams...

When you played with great team like Man utd, you can never rest until the 'man in black blows the final whistle.

Loloq


Today at about 1.37 p.m, award winning song writer and actor Rosli Khamis or famously known as Loloq died of brain complication. It was reported that yesterday his condition was gradually improving after undergoing an operation to remove the blood clot in his brain. He was admitted to the Damansara Specialist hospital. It is a great lost for the nation entertainment industry.

A frequent collaborator with singer, songwriter and composer M Nasir, Rosli’s famous songs include Andalusia (performed by M Nasir), Dewi (Hattan), Aladin (Spider), Di Kala Hujan (Slam), Percayakan Siti (Exists), Awan Yang Terpilu (Ning Baizura), Bertakhta Di Hati (Farahdhiya), Nafas Cinta (Misha Omar), Aduh Saliha (Mawi) and Angan Dan Sedar (Mawi).

The Singapore-born songwriter also acted in films such as Embun, Sara, Senario Lang Buana, Man Laksa and Zombi Kampung Pisang. He also wrote the script for the films Orang Minyak and the coming Aduh Saliha.

My sincere condolence to his family and may his soul be with the blessed.

Al- Fatihah.
