Yoga, What's Up?

Yeah, yoga. The world famous exercise of the indians back in their old eras.
The depiction of this activity is that it refers to traditional physical and mental disciplines. It has 6 branches according to the Hindu philosophy which I don't want to mention them here. The yoga is a type of meditation which supposedly to release the tense and stress for it's practitioners.

In the world today, people who practices exotic kind of exercises had plucked yoga into becoming their own as in changing the true purposes of the meditation; not following the branches of Hinduism and of mere exercise and so on. Basically, that is the arguement that have been used to be against the fatwa of the ulama' council to ban the yoga practice.

A fatwa is made not with a single mind or one sided thought which most people said it to be. According the Head of Directors of Jakim, Datuk Wan Mohd Sheikh Abdul Aziz, it was made due to considerations, not only from Jakim, but other local universities lecturers, professors which have analysed the matter beforehand. Thus, it's not a thing to be taken lightly, moreover for a muslim. But I guess it's quite sudden eh?

I've read an article in a local newspaper, of a journalist comment on the fatwa of haram-ing the Yoga. His opening was quite good, talking about understandings and stuffs but the next lines that has pissed me off the most. He's a muslim, and he did non-muslim rituals such as reciting hymns and playing with the 'colok'. Those plays are very dangerous as they can cancel our iman. Plus, he was talking about people should be understood and cannot be controlled by a single fatwa. What The Heck? The fatwa is only a reminder for muslims that the yoga practice may lead to dismay and disbelief. Whether people agrees on it or not, it's a different matter. People do afraid of the word Haram, Then why question so much?

Another thing, regarding on the Haramization of Al-khamr(wine) and pigs, it's already stated in the Al-Quran and is final, there's no reason behing it, just hikmaat for us to ponder upon. Easily said, everything is just a reminder, whether to follow or not, it's our own choice, the power that hath been bestowed upon us human by Allah is the power to choose. It's okay to just do what we like, the relation between us and god is solo mano anyway. My thoughts are to the better resolution of the yoga thingy but then the fatwa has popped out, so I sealed my lips and just go with the flow because I'm not an Islamic scholar, not a man of great 'ilm to argue more on this matter.

Well, that's a piece of my mind, maybe more, but just let them rest in my head..
for awhile..

Too Many Stuffs Goin On, Too Little Time

It's incredible, and ironic. I've been urging my friends to build their blogs and fill them up fancies but then, I actually did the parallel which resulted to the TOTAL neglection of my blog. It's been abandoned for like.. a very long time. WOW! I was so hyped then when the blog was first launched, kinda like the very first touch that I've ever laid on my ps3.

Anyhow, here I am, still in one piece, like luffy and the gang (an anime fan would understand this). Still figuring what to crap about next. Lots of thing going through my mind at the moment. However, they just can't get out of my mind, trapped in an abyss of an endless enigma. Scientist had actually conducted an experiment on my brain a few years back, and they found two big hole, which air come in and out via it. The holes were actually my nostrills, they dug in too deep and went over the brain area instead, to the nose. They had done a pretty damn mistake which caused their dismissal, pretty sad though.

Now then, the crapping will start once more.. The CRAPPAGE strikes back!

About Morrow or even Morrower..

Well.. I've got to admit.. It's been a pretty while since I've written something, not just in a blog but in the reality. As time is not quite with me; tests, assignments and even exam shrouded my every day, and to wake up only thinking of them. Usually, stuffs been smooth, so.. what went wrong? It's not just me, but everyone is experiencing this. Ultimately, I want to feel the love of living, yes, I've longed for that.

A very close friend of mine had once said this 'Live life to the fullest'. Yup, I agreed on that yet something bothers me, how can we live life to the fullest without crossing the line? We have our limitations and restrictions, consider those. I, myself had constrained every acts and my social interactions as I do not want to drift away in the sea of the worldly life. Just what can we enjoy while eluding from walking to the wrong path??

I've got my resolutions, so it's for you to ponder and decide.

Malas nyer nk tulis skrg, got more important stuffs to do...

Eh?? Raya la plak!

The fasting month of Ramadhan has passed,
Then comes Syawal where we celebrate aidulfitri,
The jolly smiles can be seen in every muslim,
For they are holding the best day of the year.
Making new resolutions, Being grateful to Allah S.w.T.
Forgiving one another, Some would say "Kosong - Kosong ek?"'
And even handing 'Duit Raya' to kids.

Yet, we should never forget our brothers in the middle east.
They're not having fun as we do,
They're actually battling for their lives, their joyous day..
Seeking a freedom which will last till ages,
And the invaders to be vanquished from their earth.
Their land.. their property.

It's only a reminder,
How to celebrate aidulfitri is actually at someone's whim,
We cannot regulate men into thinking of remorse,
as it is a joyous day to be commemorated,
What a waste if we don't use the time to enjoy it?

Revolutionary Masterpiece

Since I was in my mother's womb, I had been exposed to classical music such as Beethoven, Palchelbel and many more. Later, I would resort to Jazz where it is quite light and funky. However, I wonder how Rock came into contact with me as I grew older? As I recalled, I really hated pure rock music at the tender age of 6 for their explosive noise made my heart race and my senses tingling. This was because I couldn't stand heavy sound, all confusion took place when I hear any of that sort. Furthermore, my family was the kind that doesn't listen to this kind of music and was discouraged when asking to try listening to one.

Years later, at the age of Puberty of 15, my dad, who actually listens to Rock, not just mere Rock, but Hard Rock (Woah!) introduced me to Radiohead, a British Pop/Rock Band. My first impression after hearing a track of their CD was, "Is this some kind of a Psychedellic, mind controlling programme of sort?". Sure, it was really slothful to be heard. The music goes slow, then slower, then it was like... I dont know, better change the band's name to 'Sleepy'head (Get the picture?). Well, that's better. Overall, the band is well established and I praise for their nice effort to bring life to those kind of music. Old albums beat the rest, if you wanna try this one-hell of a rock band, listen to old ones first, the reason is I hate the new ones, they suck deliberately causing your ears to bleed. Your attempt is at your own risk (And don't ay i didn't warn you!).

"Try this one, you'll love it", a friend told me. It was a Muse (A British Rock band) gig compilation CD of their round Australia tour. That was when I was in sweet Form 5. I'm already into Rock at that time, since I've played Guitar Hero at the ps2 console with my dad during last school break (Form 4). Motorhead, Kiss, Ramones, Deep Purple and Jimi Hendrix, these are the names that revolve around my head if someone were to talk about Rock with me. Hence, Muse was quite the debut in my mind then, and the enthusiasm seeped into my soul as quickly as the thunder skill launched by Pikachu or Raichu (Whichever makes you happy). Eagerly, I ran to my room, on my PC, insert the CD, and voila, the scenes started. "Fwaaaaa... Cool", those were my first words. Appealing, Fascinating wa what I thought as all of the rock songs I heard, there were non like the Muse. They were totally the best.

Until, on 2006, they launched their new album called the 'Super Masive Blackhole' which has been averted from their original idea of rock. Initially, they were just doing what rockers do best, Jamming with all their might, using every capabilities that they have. Howver, they really turned me off by changing their style to Rock/Techno. "Come on! You're not a Disco band, stop tarnishing your own reputation!", my gripe at that particular launching time of the CD, full of tension and sorrow. I regret to say that I may have lost my faith in rock bands... But then again, after I heard from more band like Arctic Monkeys and Alter Bridge, my devotion has been revived! At this point the headbanging starts.

Growing older, I stayed at the dorm of a University, meeting friends which I never even imagine that I would be close to who taught me how to play the guitar! That's nice! I had guitar lessons before but they were forsaken for I pursued for something else, that is not necessary to be stated here. I had 2 teachers, one was my senior and one was in the same batch. They were both nice individuals, for people who don't really know them, they would probably thought that my friends were some mess up teenagers or even spoiled brats. Progressing with the guitar lessons, my head progressed too as they banged more and more each day after learning a tune or two. Heads banged, Pillows kicked around, Friends tortured, all because of the revolutinary Rock madness. The chaotic craze doesn't just and anywhere, it continues.. No one can really hate rock, they have to just go with the flow in the end.

To cut a long story short, my head still spinning from the bangings and crashings. It doesn't hurt one bit, it's just as exhilarating as you play PS3 that you've bought with your own money (Playing in the gaming outlets clearly irrelevant). Often heard people say that Rock doesn't potray any art and soul in their music. Well, they're wrong, Rock indeed have something that most genre have not, their speciality plus they have their own classification, what more do you actually want?

I thought the joker was creepy. But this...

Soul of a Blogger

Blogging was made to express people's point of view,
And through blogspot, I've wrote a few,
Enjoying it and thus made it a hobby,
Until at one point, I stopped 'cause I'm sleepy.

Tup Tap Tup Tap, I typed very excitedly,
When I finished writing, I felt really happy,
I read my post again to check for any mistake,
It's only objective is for perfection's sake.

Before, I had ample time to write in blogs,
But recently, I have little time to even have small talks,
As for now, time is always ahead of me,
I tried to catch up time but fell tremendously.

No! This won't be the end of me,
For I will still climb up higher than a tree,
And Yes! I will use all my might,
In order to be the winner of this worldly fight.

*The End*


HAHAHA~ Blogging sure is Fun :D
