OUr HijaB.....

OUr HijaB.....

The hair is the crowning glory of every women. Our long hair professes our beauty and most powerful of our image. Our eyes speaks louder than our voice. Our voice speaks louder than our body. Our body is the very case of our being. Our softness is a blessing from Allah, the Creator. But this beauty becomes a medium for sinful eyes. Allah is indeed Merciful and our Protector. Alhamdullilah for Hijab...Niqab...and Burqah... Truly the identity of every Muslimah.
Hijab, a covering that implies inner and outer modesty. It is quite impossible to see the inside when one observe the outside. Hijab is not some kind of culture or racial identity. Rather our hijab is the identity required by Allah. "Oh Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies (i.e. screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way). That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women so as not to be annoyed.)" (Ahzaab 59)
A Muslimah are accused of having a " fish brain " because of our hijab. We are accused of being a " terrorist " because of our hijab. We are accused of being an "Arab" because of our hijab. We are accused of being an "oppressed "creature because of our hijab. We are accused of living our lives in the "past" because of our hijab. We are accused of being over protective of our body because of our hijab. We are accuse of many thing because of our hijab. Is this the reason why some of our claiming Muslimah abandoned hijab?
Without the hijab , we are completely stripped naked. Without hijab , we are completely oppressed and exploited. Without hijab, we are disrespected by those sinful eyes. Without hijab , we are treated just exactly as a non Muslim. Without hijab, we lost our outer modesty, more so affects our inner modesty. Without hijab, we are susceptible in inviting sin ourselves.
Hijab is every Muslimah's shield. The very identity that tells a Muslimah that ," she is another Muslimah", one who pleases Allah by following his commandments. Hijab serves as a form of dawah for us. It reminds another Muslimah that this is our true identity. It reminds the whole world that a Muslimah is a unique individual incomparable to other women.
Hijab is what makes a Muslimah. The very identity of the Muslimaat.

ISS ?

The International Space Station (ISS) is a research facility currently being assembled in space. The building of ISS started in 1998. The station is in a low Earth orbit and can be seen from Earth with the naked eye: its altitude varies from 319.6 km to 346.9 km above the surface of the Earth (approximately 199 miles to 215 miles). It travels at an average speed of 27,744 km (17,240 miles) per hour, completing 15.7 orbits per day. The ISS is a joint project between the space agencies of the United States (NASA), Russia (RKA), Japan (JAXA), Canada (CSA) and several European countries (ESA).

The Brazilian Space Agency (AEB, Brazil) participates through a separate contract with NASA. The Italian Space Agency similarly has separate contracts for various activities not done in the framework of ESA's ISS works (where Italy also fully participates). China has reportedly expressed interest in the project, especially if it is able to work with the RKA. The Chinese are not currently involved.

The ISS is a continuation of what began as the U.S. Space Station Freedom, the funding for which was cut back severely. It represents a merger of Freedom with several other previously planned space stations: Russia's Mir 2, the planned European Columbus and Kibo, the Japanese Experiment Module. The projected completion date is 2010, with the station remaining in operation until around 2016. As of 2007, the ISS is already larger than any previous space station.

The ISS has been continuously inhabited since the first resident crew entered the station on November 2, 2000, thereby providing a permanent human presence in space. The crew of Expedition 15 are currently aboard. The station is serviced primarily by Russian Soyuz and Progress spacecraft and by U.S. Space Shuttle orbiters. At present the station has a capacity for a crew of three. Early crewmembers all came from the Russian and U.S. space programs. German ESA astronaut Thomas Reiter joined the Expedition 13 crew in July 2006, becoming the first crewmember from another space agency. The station has, however, been visited by astronauts from 14 countries. The ISS was also the destination of the first five space tourists.

A Handphone's Life

Sophia's autobiography...

Hi! My name is Sophia. I am a handphone and my proud owner is the author of this blog.

Let me tell you a bit about myself. I was born in Japan before I was shipped to Malaysia. I am blasted silver in colour with a black armor on my chest. My genetic code is K750. My family carry the name of the Sony Ericsson. There are those from other clans such as Nokia and Motorola. However, we, handphones do not usually mix with those from outside our clan. I am not sure why but father says that their is fierce rivaly between different clans and I should be proud as my clan carry a good name. Ironically, we share the same ancestors...the Telephone. Being one of the latest models at my time, I was pitted against many other handphones for potential masters.

I was glad when I finally found my master. I always do my best to serve him well in whenever he needs me. Not only that I help him to make important calls, but I also sing to him when he is feeling down and help him to take pictures with my 2.0 Mega PIXEL AUTO FOCUS eye. I also have a impressive memory of 1GB. Furthermore, I help him to remember important dates and organize his daily planner. Thats why my master loves me and brings me along wherever he goes.

Generally, we handphones are a necessity to human beings. They depend on us to do a lot of things. Therefore, it is not surprising that almost everyone has at least a handphone. Sadly, sometimes we get blame for things that is not our fault. I don't understand why some people accuse us for spoiling their language and criminal is activities such as cheating people of their money, spreading lies and pornographic materials. It is not our fault. We are only tools, serving our masters the best we could, whether what they do is right or wrong. It is also saddening and frightening that some of us will get thrown away or traded in for newer models after we serve our masters so loyally for so many years. I hope that it won't happen to me but I trust and have faith that my master will take care of me even when I am in my old age. With regards, Sophia Ericsson.

Transport & Tourism

Transport & Tourism

The variety of transports today make us easier to move from one place to another especially far place and public transport especially play the main role in our country especially in tourism. There are many types of transport including in public transportation such as taxi, train, aeroplane, buses and many more.

In big city such as Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru, using buses and train can reduce the traffic jam, help to keep away the air pollution and we also can save the money by using this mode of transportation. But the bus company in Malaysia need to repair their services such as use new buses to attract tourist during visit Malaysia year especially.

Before this I went to Pulau Perhentian and Pulau Redang in Terengganu and I used two different boat when I go and came back from there. The first one is big size boat and second one is speed boat where it is much faster than first one. There are also many tourist used theis transport and most of them satisfied with the services.

For the conclusion, government need to take care of our public transportation and repair their services if they want to serve better to community and attract more tourist to Malaysia.

Different Aspect Of Culture

Word "culture" came from the Latin 'cultura' stemming from 'colere', meaning to cultivate, generally refers to patterns of human activity and the symbolic structures that give such activity significant importance. Different definitions of "culture" reflect different theoretical and the culture of peoples theirselves around the world. In Malaysia, culture is manifested in music, literature, painting and sculpture, theater and film. For example we have 'dikir barat'(music), 'mak yong' and 'wayang kulit'(theater) and many more. We also can see many differences in culture between ethnics lived in Malaysia (Malays, Indians, Chinese, and many more).
Besides that, in defining culture there are several definitions including :-
-Culture as civilization
-Culture as worldview
-Culture as symbols
-Culture as a stabilizing mechanism
-Culture and evolutionary psychology
Besides that,there are three kinds of influence cause both change and resistance to culture such as:-forces at work within a society
-contact between societies
-changes in the natural environment
But in Malaysia there are many steps taken by government to keep our culture alive and with that steps we can attract tourist by show our culture in international events.

what are new gadget?

A camera is a device used to capture images, as still photographs or as sequences of moving images. The term as well as the modern-day camera evolved from the camera obscura, Latin for "dark chamber", an early mechanism for projecting images, in which an entire room functioned as a real-time imaging system. The camera obscura was first invented by the Iraqi scientist Alhazen and described in his Book of Optics (1011-1021).[1English scientists Robert Boyle and Robert Hooke later invented a portable camera obscura in 1665-1666.

Cameras may work with the light of the visible spectrum or with other portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. A camera generally consists of some kind of enclosed hollow, with an opening or aperture at one end for light to enter, and a recording or viewing surface for capturing the light at the other end. Most cameras have a lens positioned in front of the camera's opening to gather the incoming light and to focus the image, or part of the image, on the recording surface. The diameter of the aperture is often controlled by a diaphragm mechanism, but some cameras have a fixed-size aperture.

Traditional cameras capture light onto photographic film or photographic plate. Video and digital cameras use electronics, usually a charge coupled device (CCD) or sometimes a CMOS sensor to capture images which can be transferred or stored in tape or computer memory inside the camera for later playback or processing.

Cameras that capture many images in sequence are known as movie cameras or as ciné cameras in Europe; those designed for single images are still cameras. However these categories overlap, as still cameras are often used to capture moving images in special effects work and modern digital cameras are often able to trivially switch between still and motion recording modes. A video camera is a category of movie camera which captures images electronically (either using analogue or digital technology).

Stereo camera can take photographs that appear "three-dimensional" by taking two different photographs which are combined to create the illusion of depth in the composite image. Stereo cameras for making 3D prints or slides have two lenses side by side. Stereo cameras for making lenticular prints have 3, 4, 5, or even more lenses. Some film cameras feature date imprinting devices that can print a date on the negative itself.
