DOA WABAK PENYAKIT

semoga kita semua dijauhkan daripada penyakit yang menular sekarang(H1N1). Selain daripada amalan 'prevention' yang dikatahui ramai, kita sebagai umat islam juga seharusnya membuat amalan 'prevention' yang telah diajar semenjak 1400 tahun dahulu lagi.

Antaranya:

1. amalkan doa di atas dan perbanyakkan membaca al-quran kerana hanya kepada Allah sahaja tempat kita meminta pertolongan dan segalanya atas kekuasaan Allah swt.

"When i'm ill, it is He who cures me"
(al-Ash-Shuara:80)

2. Sentiasa mengambil wudhu' dan memperbaharui wudhu'; kerana dalam wudhu' kita diajar untuk membasuh tangan, berkumur dan membasuh hidung(amalan sunat) yang dapat menghindari diri daripada selsema.

3. Banyakkan minum air masak dan makan buah-buahan; ini merupakan amalan sunnah baginda Rasulullah saw.

If you can't stand the heat don't work in the kitchen

In response to the announcement made on TV3 last night, and the postings here, here and here I'd say "If you can't stand the heat don't work in the kitchen"!

Fancy staying up tonight?

I stumbled upon this information here, which then led me to here.

The knowledge that "Malaysians will be able to sight up to a total of 100 Perseid meteors per hour streaking across the northern sky in the wee hours of Thursday morning" caught my attention.

But the idea of having to be awake at the wee hour of the morning on a week day somehow dampens the interest. "Universiti Sains Malaysia’s Astronomy Atmospheric Science Unit lecturer Assoc Prof Dr Chong Hon Yew said that according to the International Meteor Organisation (IMO). the meteor shower is expected to be best viewed from 1.30am to 4am on Thursday."

I'm not really into astronomy, but the opportunity of observing Allah's magnificent creation with the naked eye is something not to be missed, especially when it is not a frequent occurrence.

How do you observe meteor shower?

If you live near a brightly lit city, drive away from the glow of city lights, if possible.
After you’ve escaped the city lights, find a dark and safety site (or park), where there is lesser oncoming cars to ruin your sensitive night vision or dark adaptation (because of the headlights).

Once you have settled at your observing spot, lay back on ground or a reclining chair so that the horizon appears at the edge of your peripheral vision, with the stars and sky filling your field of view. Meteors will instantly grab your attention as they streak by.

Wonder if I'll still be able to observe the meteor shower through the bedroom window?

My name has a meaning?

I stumbled upon this information just now and I'm truly amused. My name actually means something!

It seems that in Pali, Hiriyati means 'to blush, to be shy; to feel conscientious scruple, to be ashamed'.

Hmm.....I was kind of shy as a child.
