6 years of Injustice - Guantanamo Bay
I was in London yesterday, have to attend the annual student union meeting and later that evening a birthday bash. (this post is neither about both, just an intro)
So I have some time in between, and decided to stop by at the Westminster area (for non Londoners, it is the area where the Big Ben, House of Parliament and London eye are located). It is a nice place esp in the evening where the lighting effect multiply the artistic nature of the building and its surrounding. In front of the Parliament House there is an open area called Parliament Square (where the statue of Churchill stand) and also there is a small camping site from the anti war group, i admire their determination, as it is a 24-7 campaign.
And yesterday was Friday, there is a weekly protest against the War including other things like the oppressive Guantanamo Bay, and the Palestine Conflict.
I am somehow lucky to turn up that evening, it is a special event. I saw Yvonne Ridley live giving a speech!(she was a British journalist, famous for her Taliban Capture story. Wiki her if u cant remember).
Part of her speech, the last bytes at the end.
also there was a rendition of the famous Cuban Guantanamera song, altered to include the Anti Guantanamo msg, by an artist (sorry i dont know him, but he looks very familiar)
Here is the story of the campaign, it is organised by the Green Party.
For Londoners, u can help by being at the field every Friday evening 6 till 7, shouting anti war slogan towards House of Parliament. It is cool! and hopefully beneficial.
p.s. please pardon the vdo quality

Close Guantanamo
Guantanamo, a place with no soul,
where laws don’t apply,
It’s a legal black hole.
In orange jumpsuits and cages they remain,
for fours years and more they have suffered this pain.
No charges, no trial, no due process,
innocent or guilty they couldn’t care less.
Brought to Cuba from far and wide,
tortured so bad they would rather have died.
Guantanamo, a place with no soul,
where laws don’t apply,
it’s a legal black hole.
Captured and sold to the US by their own,
how have they ended up so far from home?
Families and lives torn apart,
this is the beginning - only the start.
Children labelled as terrorists,
a symbol of injustice is what it is.
Guantanamo, a place with no soul,
where laws don’t apply,
it’s a legal black hole.
Respect for human rights is what they preach,
what a shame its not what they teach.
For every Guantanamo there are many more,
this is what they have in store.
This is America's war on human rights,
without boundaries it reaches new heights.
Guantanamo, a place with no soul,
where laws don’t apply,
it’s a legal black hole.
Who are these people, what was their crime?
Have they not served their time?
America's war comes at a price,
just ask Dr. Condaleeza Rice,
The time has come for us to make a stand,
the time has come for us to demand...
CLOSE GUANTANAMO!!!

Two Thousand Eight
First of all, Whoa, time does fly fast!
Thinking that its already 2008, makes me wonder what have I done all these months in this 'strange' land, which is now strange no more.
I dont reach my work goals, lots of things I havent master n read n write, which scares me a lot, if 2++ months feels like just a day, am I going to spend my another 4 years here just like another few days!
hopefully the new year, is a new n fresh start for me.
Need to be more efficient, which in my opinion, becoming more organized. I just get a new bed (its a single) delivered, because i want to get rid of the king size bed which took 75% of my bedroom space. With more space, its easier to organize my space, had planted a plant, and just started an indoor vege farm, just a small organic farm, which consist of 3 red onions, yea to produce my own onion leaves (i think there is a special name for it).
And updating my blog does feel too much, i am not sure why, not that I dont have time, i think i do have time, just now i just spent hours on youtube, (on somethg good), but not necesseraly important for now I guess, i should just had do my works actually, which is the priority. But hey, since i just had wasted my time on youtube before, below are somethg from the tube that i found v interesting.
Speed of light derived from the Quran
Subhanallah. The vdo was titled 'how science destroyed Islam', maybe to redirect the target group to watch the vdo.
And I also met this witty girl on my youtube session.
Here a vdo from her disputing the popular accusation that Muhammad PBUH was a pedophile.
I am amazed, she discovered Islam from self study and you can see on other vdo from her, the difficulty she faced when she told her family about her choice when she was still a teen. I am truly inspired.
And the christmas-new year break had past, I did a lot of thgs during the period, too many, i felt a bit lazy to jot down here. But iA I will jot some worth mentioning, which include the Manchaster trip, the Glasgow Islamic Gath and a conference in the 1st day of 2008.
Here is the sneak peek of the conference.
Note: Despite their 'appearance', these guys have a very 'non-conventional' views on Islam. Ill try to find some time to share what I heard that day iA, or you can search them on youtube ;)
Until later...

Merdeka spirit
Im still in the merdeka spirit, hehe. Funny that I felt like this only at my 23rd encounter with the 31st of August. Probably because it is the 50th anniversary and probably because, ha you all know
Anyway enjoy these TV commercials commemorating 50th Anniversary as an Independent Nation
Media Prima
"...no matter how much Malaysia will change in the future, its a comfort, that something will always remain the same..."
Malaysian Airports
"...tak terfikir langsung nak ke London..."
Perodua
"...tanah air memberi banyak, mesra mendakap kita..."
p.s. I always love Malaysian TV adverts, especially the special ads for religious/cultural/national celebrations, it is rich in esthetical values with deep profound messages. Weird when we cant produced good movies/drama series par with our commercials. If you watch an American channel, ull realize that their adverts are seriously stupid, but somehow they can make great movies/TV series . still cant comprehend yet

Celebrating 50 years of Nationhood
Keep it up Malaysians!
Weird, I havent step my feet in some of these landmarks, huhu
Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!
Sometimes I wish we can simply value our patriotism by how loud we shout these words or how modern the buildings we build...Anyway, Im still proud to be Malaysian!

No More War
Read the post below, Id to repost the video because the blogger video function didn't work (vdo suddenly shrink), it is still under development, Hopefully will work nicely soon.
My world view 3 years before
I was organizing my hard disk (still, well credit to procrastination), and accidentally found this video my groupmate and I made years before and watching it again after a long time not, does bring back my university years' memory. This video entitled No More War, pls don’t pay much attention to the content (its not accurate), its actually a video editing assignment for my undergrad computer literacy class.
No More War
Video Disclaimer: This video does not represent the personal opinion of any entity credited in the video.
I have to admit that my knowledge bout the world; politic, social or economy was a bit shallow back then. When I was a student, my attention was given to my study (not really my study I think, probably time wasting as I didn’t recalled what I did back then) and I didn’t give a damn whats happening globally, which is a miserable and penitent way to spend ones university years’.
Yup, It’s not a good thing to mumble bout the past. John Spencer in The Present wrote a beautiful story which brought up the essence of success in life; learn from the past, be in / enjoy the present and plan for the future (Id forgotten the exact words, but the meaning is there).
The past is a past, well Im allowed to regret but the most important thing is to learn from it.
I have to enjoy the present and plan for the future.
And most importantly remember that life is too short, its only a transit.
So be a good 'creature' of the Creator.
p.s. try out new blogger features, video upload like Youtube, so you don't have to upload yr video in Youtube first bfor putting the html code in order for the vdo to appear here. This feature is still on trial but you can already utilise this function, click here to do that.
*Hafiz don’t feel healthy today, his throat is killin him, probably because of the heavy rain yesterday. He hasn’t been sick due to rain for a long time. He needs high dose of Vitamin C to improve his immune system.

JOLAS featuring Outlandish
This is a special post for Outlandish, they deserve to be featured in Journal of Life and Science (JOLAS) (It supposed to be the other way round Hehe). Thx Nasyrah, for notifying me bout this cool band.
Had been described passably in Wikipedia, so I just quote from there, the intro bout this group.
Had been described passably in Wikipedia, so I just quote from there, the intro bout this group.
"Outlandish is a multi-award winning Danish hip-hop group based in Denmark. Formed in 1997, they consist of Isam Bachiri Azouaoui (born in Denmark and of Moroccan background), Waqas Ali Qadri (born in Denmark and of Pakistani background), and Lenny Martinez (from Honduras). All three members are religious, with Isam and Waqas being devout Muslims, and Lenny being Catholic."
From left Waqas, Isam and Lenny
(sorry guys, I took this from your official site, only for promotional purpose)
Haven’t heard all their songs yet, so far 'calling you' and 'beyond words' are the most awe-inspiring song I’d heard.
Calling you, Closer Than Veins (Official VDO Clip)
I’m callin’ U; When all my goals, my very soul; Ain’t fallin’ through; I´m in need of U; The trust in my faith; My tears and my ways is drowning so; I cannot always show it; But don´t doubt my love
(sorry guys, I took this from your official site, only for promotional purpose)
Their preface in their official MySpace profile...
"We started out as 3 friends back in the early 90's. We all shared the vision of being creative in one way or the other, we found a common passion which was music. We went through many phases to get to where we are today and are still evolving as musicians and as humans. We chose to call our style 'Life music' because thats what our music is about. To break it more down we do a blend of: hip hop, folk, soul and pop all mixed with a heavy doze of ethnical elements. We hail from 3 different continents so therefore you will hear some latin, arabic and asian elements in Outlandish. Lyrically we touch alot of topics from love to racism you can say that we are social realistic and we always talk about the society which shapes us all for the better and worse."They already hv three Albums, currently under the Sony-BMG label, and had produced several awesome video clips. I’m not a big fan of hip-hop, but their creativity managed to fused it with other music genre, and the result is amazing. Combined with meaningful lyrics, some of the bait can brought tears to your eyes. Though the rap part is a bit hard to understand, you can find all the lyrics in their official web.
Haven’t heard all their songs yet, so far 'calling you' and 'beyond words' are the most awe-inspiring song I’d heard.
Calling you, Closer Than Veins (Official VDO Clip)
I’m callin’ U; When all my goals, my very soul; Ain’t fallin’ through; I´m in need of U; The trust in my faith; My tears and my ways is drowning so; I cannot always show it; But don´t doubt my love
I’m callin’ U; With all my time and all my fights; In search for the truth; Tryin’ to reach U; See the worth of my sweat; My house and my bed; Am lost in sleep; I will not be false in who I am; As long as I breathe
Oh, no, no; I don’t need nobody; & I don’t fear nobody; I don’t call nobody but U; My One & Only
I don’t need nobody; & I don’t fear nobody; I don’t call nobody but U; U all I need in my life
I’m callin’ U; When all my joy; And all my love is feelin’ good; Cuz it’s due to U;
See the time of my life; My days and my nights; Oh, it’s alright; Cuz at the end of the day; I still got enough for me and my
I’m callin’ U; When all my keys; And all my bizz; Runs all so smooth; I’m thankin’ U; See the halves in my life
My patience, my wife; With all that I know; Oh, take no more than I deserve; Still need to learn more
Oh, no, no; I don’t need nobody; & I don’t fear nobody; I don’t call nobody but U; My One & Only
I don’t need nobody; & I don’t fear nobody; I don’t call nobody but U; U all I need in my life
Our relationship, so complex; Found U while I was headed straight for hell in quest; You have no one to compare to; ‘Cause when I lie to myself nothings hidden from U; I guess I’m thankful; Word on the street is U changed me; It shows in my behaviour; Past present future; Lay it all out; Found my call in your house; And let the whole world know what this love is about
Yo te quiero, te extraño, te olvido; Aunque nunca me has faltado, siempre estas conmigo; Por las veces que he fallado y las heridas tan profundas; Mejor tarde que nunca para pedirte mil disculpas; Estoy gritando callado yo te llamo, te escucho, lo intento; De ti yo me alimento; Cuando el aire que respiro es violento y turbulento; Yo te olvido, te llamo, te siento
Translation: [I love you, I miss you, I forget you; Even though you never let me down and always are by my side; For all the times I’ve failed and hurt you deeply; Better later than never to give you a 1000 apologies; I’m shouting silently, callin’ you, I’m listening to you, I’m tryin’; You nourish me; When the air that I breathe is violent and turbulent; I’m forgettin’ you, I’m callin’ you, I’m feelin’ you]
Oh, no, no; I don’t need nobody; & I don’t fear nobody; I don’t call nobody but U; My One & Only
I don’t need nobody; & I don’t fear nobody; I don’t call nobody but U…
Beyond Words, Closer Than Veins (VDO by Awayclose)If I worship U in fear of hell, burn me in it
And if I worship U in hope of paradise, exclude me from it
But if I worship U for Your own being
Don’t withhold from me Your everlasting beauty
Beautiful songs, All the best to Outlandish.
Nasyrah, Im waiting for the mp3s u promised Ill buy their original when Im back in Penang, the only way I can support them from here :D.Monday, April 16, 2007
Math Tutorials on YouTube
Yesterday, I was preparing notes for my Math class later that evening, its about Quadratic Equations Factorization.
Need an extra effort, as the student is a bit slow, so I searched on the internet for tips and trick, later fed up with the unhelpful search result, I turned to Youtube.
In this video sharing web, I finally found the tips wanted.
Video below shows how to factorize a hard trinomial using the decomposition method. I actually never knew bout this method, I was thought in school to factorize using the cross method which I think a bit hard to be comprehend by my student.
Thanks to Mr Wayne for his effort in producing this great tutorial. More videos related to Algebra from sketching graph to solving equations are available in his profile. His tutorials are highly recommended, step by step and easy to understand.
With tips from the Canadian teacher, I managed to make trinomial factorization understandable for my student and increase his confidence in solving equations.
I pity him really, as he is in the science stream (taking 12 subjects for SPM) even though he didn't secure any A's bfore in PMR. Although he is in Form 4, the basics of negative and positive integers addition is still confusing for him. I think he managed to get into science stream because he is studying in a private school.
Erm I wonder what his parents think, putting their child into something unbearable is selfish I guess. Sending kids to extra classes is not the solution, sometimes kids need their time to 'grow' as life is not just about scoring straight A's, get into college, and become a Doctor.
Still majority of Malaysian haven't change.
