The Future's Not Ours To See

It is so true as stated in Doris Day's song "Que Sera Sera" that the future's not ours to see. We are human, we are not the creator. But seriously, I have no idea how to express my feelings here. I'm not perfect, there are still a lot of things to be improved on me. 

Now when heart say no to this, then suddenly this thing come over me. When my heart say yes to that, that thing suddenly becoming very hard to get. I'm sorry I couldn't tell what is 'that' and what is 'this'. They are just the things that I have to solve, myself. It's my feelings. 

Only if you can understand what my deep heart says, I'll be relieved. But I'm not sure if you do. 

Thanks to this one person who advised me to talk to the God, as in pray to God, and tell Him every problem we have. Seek His guidance, and in times problems will be solved. He knows better than us. 

But my Lord, help me to ease everything I face, every problem I go through in my life. I'm weak, thus give me strength in Iman. For you are the most Powerful, the most Benevolent, the most Merciful.

Prayers, Your Life Your Choice.


Life is always about choices. Ever since the start of our day till the end, we are obliged to choices. But we should have realised which is which, the good and bad, the right and the wrong. Which comes first, who should we put priority on, choices that we have to make. When the Azaan has called, nothing else that more important than performing our prayer. 


The Prophet said in this regard: ” The first thing that will be judged among a person’s deeds on the Day of Resurrection is the prayer. If that is in good order, he will pass the test and prosper, and it that is defective, he will fail the test and will be a loser.(Tirmidhi)
Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As said that the Prophet mentioned prayer one day saying: “If anyone keeps to it, it will be a light,evidence, and salvation for him on the Day of Resurrection; but if anyone does not keep to it, it will not be for him light,evidence, or salvation; and on the Day of Resurrection,he will be associated with Qarun, Pharaoh, Haman, and Ubayy bin Khalaf(a great enemy of Islam from among the Quraish). (Ahmed,Darimi,and Baihaqi)
‘Umar ibn al-Khattab reported that a man asked the Prophet: “Messenger of Allah, what action is dearest to Allah Most High?” The Prophet said,” Prayer at its proper time.The one who does not pray has no religion. Prayer is the main pillar of the religion.”
After Umar had been stabbed, it was said to him,”As-salat, ya amir al-mumineen(The prayer, leader of the believers)!” He said,”Yes,truly! If anyone misses prayer, he has no share in Islam,” and thereupon he prayed while his wounds were bleeding.
When Ali was asked about a woman who did not pray, he replied,”The one who does not pray is an unbeliever.” Ibn Mas’ood said that the one who does not pray has no religion, and Ibn Abbas said,”The one who leaves off a single prayer will find,when he meets Allah Most High, that He is angry with him.”

Tiga Line Oh Tiga Line ///



"Dia bouncer pusat hiburan di kawasan Bandar Melaka."

Siapa dia?

Budak Tiga line.

"Saya dapat maklumat sekumpulan lelaki masuk ke rumah urut, lepas itu blah macam itu sahaja, tak bayar"

Siapa dia?

Budak Tiga line.

"Dia datang mengamuk di pejabat wakil TV3 di Johor Bahru, tendang kereta sampai kemek dan konon mendakwa girlfriend nya diculik"

Siapa dia?

Budak Tiga line.

"Dia ambil kereta saya sebab tak berbayar 3 bulan tetapi bukan hantar ke stor, dia pergi jual kepada orang lain, jadi kereta piang"

Siapa dia?

Budak Tiga line.

Ni apa orang selalu cerita la kan.

Saya dimaklumkan Pertubuhan Kebajikan Dakwah Islamiah Malaysia, Pekida BUKAN Tiga line. Bezanya, Pekida pertubuhan bukan kerajaan berdaftar manakala Tiga line tidak.

Pekida dikenali dengan cogan kata 'Amal makruf nahi mungkar'.

Jadi Tiga line itu apa?

Bagi saya lah kan, tak perlu lah nak belagak gangster dengan join tiga line ni. Kalau kata budak budak sekolah join tiga line tu maybe sebab dorg tak matang lagi. Tapi ni korg dah 20 something laa. Matang la sikit. Bila orang buat silap mula la nak carik gaduh

"Apa masalah lu buat pailang kat tempat gua?" 
"Lu pikir lu dah besar ka?" 
"Sekarang lu nak settle mcm mana?" 
"Okay, esok kita jumpa dekat luar lu bawak lu punya gang, gua bawak gua punya gang!"

Come on la kawan, kita ni dah besar, dah dewasa. Sepatutnya dah matang, apa ceritanya ni nak bawak gang hape tah. Siap ada yang kurang ajar sgt sampai cakap "Kalau lu tak datang esok, gua gegar rumah lu, tak kira la dalam ada bapak lu ka, mak lu ka, abang lu ka. Kalau lu tak keluar semua gua kasi gegar!" Lame sangat la kawan. Nak settle problem settle cara baik tak boleh ke? 

Dialog kat atas ni semua dialog sebenar dari sorg member Tiga Line yang penah nak cari gaduh. Tak layan la kawan benda benda mcm ni.



MALACCA: A picture of a sword popped up on his Facebookpage, flashing the message: 
“If you want protection, just click this icon.”
Intrigued, Amirul, a Form Four student from Alor Gajah here, clicked on it.
“A message came out, asking me to join a gang known asTiga Line'. 
One of my Facebook friends wanted me to join the gang,” he said in recounting the incident.
Amirul, who declined to give his full name, said a photograph was attached with the posting showing a group of teenagers smiling for the camera, holding sharp objects and crash helmets in a somewhat intimidating manner.
“In the posting, the Facebook friend provided me with details on how to become a member. I would be privy to the activities organised by the gang, including illegal motorcycle races if I were to join them.” Amirul said the gang claimed to be widespread throughout the country.
If he agreed to register online as a member, he would be “protected” by triad leaders in every state, Amirul said.
All that was required was a RM13 fee to be banked into an account that would be revealed to him if he signed up. However, Amirul told his 51-year-old father about it.
In an interview, his father said he subsequently found out from his neighbours' children that the gang would converge for meetings at secluded places like oil palm estates.
“I was told that the gang would organise illegal races apart from gang fights with other triads,” he said.
Another Fourth Former, who wanted to be known only as “Aru”, claimed he had been approached to sign up as a member of a triad named “36 or Satu Hati”.
Aru said that pictures of famous Tamil film heroes would be posted on the Facebook wall and recipients were required to click on them to gain access into the gang's website.
This would be followed by a long questionnaire, he added. Besides seeking members' commitment “to defend the gang at any circumstance”, they are also asked about previous gang fight experiences and willingness to be trained as street fighters.
“Once all the questions are answered, you would become their Facebook pal. There is a life membership fee of RM36. Payment is made through online banking.”
“I just couldn't believe it when I received such messages on my Facebook account,” he said.
Aru claimed that there were also pictures of senior gang members offering booze to entice students to join the gang. Apparently, most Facebook members of the gang were teenage schoolboys and a handful of girls as well, he added.
In another case, a Form Five girl from a prominent school here spoke of how she was offered the “privilege” to join a group that offered protection” late last year.
“Jiayi” she said she was then having problems with a 22-year-old guy after she called off their relationship in December. “He was not happy with my decision and kept begging me to stay. I refused to see him but he was persistent. He even waited outside my house every night, shouting my name,” she said in an interview. When his behaviour became unbearable, one of her classmates then suggested to Jiayi to get “special help”.
“It was then that I heard about a group name Hung Hing'. My friend told me that its master' was a guy from a local university who had a strong network,” she said. Jiayi noted that the group would recruit members through Facebook. “My classmate told me that the group master and his followers would offer me protection if I were to join the group. If I were to give them the name and photo of the person who disturbed me, they would teach him a lesson.”
Jiayi said that potential members merely need to make a request on their Facebook page and include the name of the person who invited or recommended them.
“In my case, I was told to use the name of my classmate's boyfriend, who was a group member,” she recalled. Jiayi, however, stressed that she did not join the group.
 
Asked how she resolved the problem with her ex-boyfriend, Jiayi said she enlisted her parents' help to settle it.
