Iman...

Honestly, my iman's getting weaker by day.

Especially after the Ramadhan is over.

Please pray for my success in this life and the hereafter.

Please, even though I don't know who you are and you don't know who I am...

The weak me.

Nabi bersabda, “Doa seorang muslim untuk saudaranya tanpa sepengetahuannya adalah mustajabah (dikabulkan). Di atas kepalanya ada malaikat penjaga, setiap kali dia mendoakan saudaranya dengan kebaikan maka malaikat penjaga tadi berkata, “Amin dan untukmu yang semisal itu juga.”(HR. Muslim)

A post made after having a small discussion with a dear girlfriend. 
A message to all lovers out there.
Men and women.

A reminder to myself.

Self-update:

- And thank you FiZi for being a wonderful lover. Sorry if I'm not being the good girl I'm supposed to be but I do know that I love you. Please remind me whenever you think I'm getting off the track. :~)

Good news for men.

Translation:

Staring at women's breasts for 10 minutes is able to lengthen the lifespan of men up to five to six years. Not a joke but that's the findings of a group of researchers after five years of research on 200 "genuine" men in Europe. The study led by a woman researcher Dr. Karen Weatherby in the New England Journal of Medicine states that the stare for 10 minutes per day is equivalent to 30 minutes of exercise at the gym.

I just found this. U believe it? Well, don't. Okay. Honestly, i don't know if it's true or not.  Maybe it is. Maybe it's not. But, whatever it is, don't take an advantage of what it says here. If you wanna stare at a woman's breasts, make sure its your wife's and not someone else's. Okay guys? Hurm, I wonder if this works if I stare at men's. ;P Ladies, cover up!

Put the facts on the...

I woke up in the morning feeling the need to change my pad (Uhuh, tidak malu mengaku =P). I took the purple thing in my hand and went to the toilet. Upon opening the pad, I realize there are some words printed at the back of the thing. I read it and laughed out lout. What the... Haha. Don't u have any other place to put the facts on?!

Since I fancy reading facts that might be new to me, I rushed back to my room, eager to check out the others. Look what I've done.

Interesting facts though. Some are known to me but most are new found knowledge :)

After reading everything, I had to shove everything back in its packet. What a burden. *Padan muka ko. X sabar sangat nak baca. Kan dah menyusahkan diri.

(: .Everything's back in its pack. :)

That's my story for today.

Period and drinks

It's 2.30am here and I'm watching the replay of England vs Slovenia match although I've just watched the live play. I accepted Myra's invitation to join her eat "cucur bawang" at Hafiz's house. I bring my sugar-free green tea along. That's when Myra tells me that green tea's not good for my health if I drink it while having period. I never knew that. Unconvinced, I googled it and found this article.

Click here--> :-( <--Click here

The result, it's true. I shouldn't drink green tea when I'm having my period. Too bad. I have four favourite drinks but I can only drink three here which are "Cincau", Vanilla Coke and green tea. But cincau, it's hard to get it because I need to buy it at the Asian store whilst I can get VCoke anywhere I go. Green tea? I'm very lazy to get outta my bed just to boil the water. So, my main drink here is VCoke (besides the tap water of course).

My other fav drink is hot barley. I get easily irritated when I go and order at the mamak for hot barley but they give me a warm one. They're lucky if I don't yell at them. Oh yes, I'm very hot tempered when it comes to ordering at restaurants, especially fast food outlets and mamaks. How I wish I could be cool enough  instead of getting angry all of a sudden. Haihs.

Weird but true

In this world there are thousand and millions and billions things that have never been found by anyone yet but they exist. Weird but true facts are something that is yet to be discovered but thanks to the technology and scientists and critical thinkers, these discoveries are now known to us...

Butterflies taste with their feet.

Haha. Imagine if we humans taste with our feet.

A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why.

I've known this fact before. Too bad, when I asked this question to my teachers and friends, they laughed at me. :(

In 10 minutes, a hurricane releases more energy than all the world's nuclear weapons combined.

Imagine if one (the hurricane) hits us. Ouch!

On average, 100 people choke to death on ballpoint pens every year.

Seriously??

On average people fear spiders more than they do death.

I'm definitely not in this group of people. Thank God.

Ninety percent of New York City cabbies are recently arrived immigrants.

It must be an easy job over there.

Thirty-five percent of the people who use personal ads for dating are already married.

If you intended to do this, then, why did you get married?

Elephants are the only animals that can't jump.

If they jump, I'm sure things beneath them will crack.

Only one person in two billion will live to be 116 or older.

I wish I could be one of them, but without the diseases and all.

It's possible to lead a cow upstairs... but not downstairs.

Does anyone have a cow? Try this and let me know.

Women blink nearly twice as much as men.

I didn't realize this before.

The Main Library at Indiana University sinks over an inch every year because when it was built, engineers failed to take into account the weight of all the books that would occupy the building.

Haha. The first time I read this years ago, I wondered "Did the engineers even know what's the use of a library for?"

A snail can sleep for three years.

Wish human does too. Um, does sleeping in our grave is counted too?

No word in the English language rhymes with

"MONTH".

I'm thinking... Thinking... Thinking... Um, yes. Yes. Nothing rhymes.

Average life span of a major league baseball: 7 pitches.

Pity those baseballs :(

Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing.

Knowing this one too before, I wanted to measure my children's noses and ears and eyes when they're born.

The electric chair was invented by a dentist.

He must've thought of this when he lost his patience with one of his patients who struggled during the treating session. So, don't try to break free when the dentist is treating you or else, he might come up with something new, something worse than the electric chair. Haha.

All polar bears are left handed.

They say that left-handed people tend to have shorter life span. I hope that's not true because I've people that are dear to me that are lefties.

In ancient Egypt, priests plucked EVERY hair from their bodies, including their eyebrows and eyelashes.

Ouch! And they say that if you pluck all your eyelashes and eyebrows, you can see ghosts... Wanna give it a try?

An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.

This is obviously a well-known fact. What some of us didn't know is, the bigger the human's brain is, the smarter that person is. At least, this is what I learnt when I was in Form 3.

TYPEWRITER is the longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the keyboard.

I did use this before.

A crocodile cannot stick its tongue out.

It's tongue must be short. If it can go on Yahoo Messenger, I'm sure it cannot do like this icon. :P

"Go." is the shortest complete sentence in the English language.

I wish I should've known this before entering the institute so that if the lecturer tells me to write a sentence containing a verb, I could just write this.

"Go"

If Barbie were life-size, her measurements would be 39-23-33. She would stand seven feet, two inches tall.

Think that's attractive? Don't think so.

The cigarette lighter was invented before the match.

And I thought that match is ancient.

Americans on average eat 18 acres of pizza every day.

Wow! I'm full.
