" If we are not prepared to work hard for ourselves, then we deserve to be left behind." ~ Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad...

Sabda Nabi S.A.W: "Umat akhir zaman akan ditimpa penyakit “wahan” yang menyebabkan Allah cabut kehebatan Islam dalam hati. " Apa itu "wahan"?" tanya sahabat. Jawab Baginda: “Cintakan dunia dan takut mati!”...

Daripada Aisyah bahawa Rasulullah bersabda: "Melihat pada tiga perkara adalah ibadah. Melihat wajah ibu bapa, melihat Al-Quran dan melihat lautan." - (Riwayat Abu Nuaim) dan ditambah dengan "Melihat Ka'abah". - (Riwayat Abu Daud)...

"We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too." ~ President John F. Kennedy, September 12, 1962

Acting For Experiment...

Today there was an experiment that needed volunteer to walk back and forth in a room while carrying a concealed item. It was either a mobile phone or a hand gun. I was given the gun to carry in my back pocket and aim it to the camera as if I was about to shoot. On the flyer it says they will pay £10, but when it come for paying, they gave me £20. £20 for 10 minute walking as well as holding a gun. Well it's for mankind anyway (research purposes).

White Loughborough...

It started snowing since last night and today it was white all around. The car was covered in 6 inches of snow. The road was slippery and the car had skidded a few times. Some say the last time it snowed like this was some 20 odd years ago. Now trying to wake up Puteri to let her play with the snow. We're going to the Queen's Park and take loads of pictures. Here's some picture of the snow today...
