Oh.... I nearly forgot. Okay... the topic that was preached about by David last week is 'Shadows of the Supernatural'. It was quite a spooky subject to be discussed on. Especially during the times in old days ie. back in residential school, where occultism dominated everyone's mind, as there's loads of rumours that go around telling that my school was built on Japanese PoW camp - so "reckless soul" from those who died under torment of Japs would mess around with anyone anytime. Eiii seram!. In fact, I would say the "story-telling" tradition about ghost, poltergeist or whatsoever spooky and unexplained phenomenon out there still passed down thru generations until now. What they're shouting about was simply the notion of there's more to life that what meets the naked eye. There's another world outer there we can't get hold on... There's a truth out there (borrow from X-Files :D) Now let's take a look at articles of faith in Islam:
1. Belief in Allah
2. Belief in Angles
3. Belief in the Books (Scriptures) of Allah
4. Belief in the Prophets of Allah
5. Belief in the Day of Judgment
6. Belief in the Divine Laws
The Cardinals of Faith in Islam
Based on these articles, there are 3 points that precisely touched on what is behind our naked eye. What I mean by that is, it is totally beyond our human intelligence to perceive these three in reality. We can't see God, can we? Have you ever talked to the angles around you? Is there anyone around that knows exactly whether there is tommorrow? My answer: Allah knows best. That's why we invent God-knows-"wh-questions" like God-knows-why, God-knows-how, just to illustrate a few. Now, you have to believe, that all of these do exist, eventhough it is way across of our logical senses,; same goes with ghost, and satan, which closely related to kingdom of darkness, lights from heaven and other stories.
Okay, so what's wrong with all unperceivable-supernatural-thing to us?
Well, if you take a look at the society right now, they're haunted with Supernatural all the time. That's explain why filmmakers keep investing in logic-defying, eye-catching movies that supposedly to explain what Supernatural is all about. For instance, What Dreams May Come. In that movie, Robin Williams explores the world of the after-life, and to me, he clearly potrays what society really thought about heaven and hellfire. Sounds more like the Judgment Day if you ask me.Okay I think that's fair enough for now. Will write more when I have the mood and ideas, insha Allah.

For the time being, spare some deep thought for this article from An-Nasihah - The Advice magazine:
Be Watchful!
- Watch your thoughts before they become words
- Watch your words, before they become actions
- Watch your actions, before they become habits
- Watch your habits, before they become a character
- Watch your character, before it becomes your destiny
- Save your destiny before its too late
Apa aku buat hari ini?
Hmmm... hari yang letih juga lah. Paginya ke Argos ngan Ruvin utk tukarganti microwave, kepada yang baru. Yang lama dah rosak. Malu juga, dah la mengangkat kotak terisi microwave yang mmg bulky gila, di dalam Stephen's Green Shopping Centre. Semua orang usha jer =) Dan tadi hampir terjadi rip-off oleh Argos. Beli model lain, dapat model lain, yang sama dengan yang lama dan telah rosak!
In the afternoon, aku habiskan masa pergi nonton bola - Chelsea vs Man Utd, di rumah Buff. Wan & Katak awal-awal dah sampai, aku pula yg lambat terkena penangan berborak di luar library. Memang melekakan sungguh. Akhirnya, agak terkedu kesedihan sebab Man Utd dapat 3rd place (baca: Chelsea - Man Utd seri) dalam Premier League. Leeds sudah lesu sekarang, hampa juga aku. Buat masa sekarang, menyokong Man Utd pun jadilah. Dan, Man Utd ke akhir untuk FA Cup. Birmingham pasti kalah hahaha...
Plan esok : Ke Powerscourt untuk ambil foto. Di dalam kamera ada lagi 17 shot yang tinggal. Tema - abstrak; kalau boleh close-up atau macro, sampai kita tak perasan subjek itu sebenarnya di alam sekeliling.
Oooppsss... exam!
