I went to Che Nor's (my mom's cousin) open house last Saturday. It was more like a family gathering rather than a typical Raya open house. The food was 
great but I ain't ate that much though, except this one dessert called Lompat Tikam (Lopak Tike, as we Kelantanese call it).Never tried it before nor heard about it. That was my first time and it tasted so damn good. I sure will look for it next time I go to Pasar Malam but I don't think they sell Lopak Tike.
It was great to meet the relatives especially the long lost ones. I couldn't even recognize their
faces, all have grown up! I was also surprised when Azhar who was my good friend when we were kids, also one of Che Nor's son, told me about our family tree of kerabat Long Gaffar. I didn't know we are the descendents of Faqih Ali, who was a Sheikhul Islam!! That's kinda cool! Also it was so hilarious that time, a girl(non-family) called his boyfriend by the name "Nik" and all the guys turned their heads. The guys got confused since all of us are "Niks" too, LOL.

Salaam,
I am amazed at how great the movie Ayat-ayat Cinta is. I watched it on TV3 this evening and Alhamdulillah how greatful I was for getting the opportunity to be reminded of the sincerity and the purity of Islam, as Islam is perfectly portrayed in the movie. One might find it's just a typical love story but for me, it's more than a story of finding the love one. I always long for environment where Muslims maintain the pure ideals of Islam, and even though it's just a movie, an entertainment that "vagues" the line between fantasy and reality, it somehow cures my heart of missing the true environment of love in Islam.
The concept of relationship before and after marriage is discussed through out the movie. A suitable movie for you bachelors who are reading my blog right now. Yes YOU right there!!! That's not all, the solemn loyalty of Fahri (hero cerita nie la) and other carhacters (i.e Aisya) to the ideals of Islam actually inspires me to change!!! I'm well-versed that quite a few people said the same thing too.One scene that stands out the most is the one when Maria said "Cinta itu berbeza dengan keinginan untuk memiliki". As a Mat Jiwang, I perfectly understood the meaning the moment she said that. ......C'mon it is a joke OK, only A JOKE!!! I'm not mat jiwang, I'm just a romantic person ... (isn't that the same thing?? LOL).
OK sambung kepada frasa sebentar tadi, "Cinta itu berbeza dengan keinginan untuk memiliki", bukan senang untuk mengahwini seseorang yang kita hanya pernah bertemu satu atau dua kali melainkan kerana kecintaan kita kepada Allah dalam menemukan dua hati atas satu nama tauhid (portrayed by Fahri & Aisha). Bukan senang untuk seorang isteri untuk membiarkan suaminya berkahwin dua melainkan atas kecintaannya kepada Allah dalam membantu dan memenuhi hajat saudaranya (portrayed by Aisha & Maria).
Much to my dissapoinment, it's hard to find this kind of people nowadays. Keinginan dan cinta bagaikan tidak dapat dibezakan. Maka timbul lah hubungan intim antara bukan mahram seperti mana yang kita lihat di shopping malls yang semakin berleluasa. Saya ada seorang rakan berbangsa Indonesia yang menetap di US, dan dia berasa terkejut melihat perubahan sosial yang berlaku di negaranya Indonesia. Lelaki dan perempuan berpelukan seperti halal & haram tidak pernah wujud dalam kamus diri mereka. (Dalam hati saya berkata) Di Malaysia pun begitu, tidak ada bezanya, sosial anak muda sudah pun semakin teruk. Tidak perlu menunding jari kepada anak muda sahaja, anak tua pun perangainya sama. Tidak salah untuk bergaul, cuma ada batas-batasnya.
Sekiranya menjaga batas-batas hubungan sesama manusia pun kita tidak mampu, bagaimana pula hendak menjaga hubungan kita dengan Allah? Renungkanlah
Anyway... I'm just writing to say I really like the movie. Ayat-ayat Cinta, 4 out of 5!!!

Muzik telah menjadi "the it thing" kepada manusia bukan baru sedekad dua, malah sudah berabad lamanya. Kita pasti kenal nama-nama hebat seperti Ludwig V. Beethoven, Johann Sebastian Bach & Nik Mohd Daniel yang telah menjadi tokoh karyawan muzik beberapa abad yang lalu. Revolusi muzik berlaku dengan pantas sehinggakan pada masa kini terdapat puluhan genre dan ratusan sub-genre muzik yang menjadi kegilaan para remaja terutamanya, seperti world music, rock, ballad, R&B, reggae, dangdut?? dan yang terbaru hip hop. Namun, muzik bukan lagi hanya sekadar hiburan semata-mata, malah dikatakan telah menjadi sebahagian daripada keperluan hidup kita.
Teringat waktu ketika saya belajar di Vandy dahulu di mana iPod 30G berwarna putih inilah yang menjadi kekasih setia yang menemani saya ke kelas setiap hari ("rakan perempuan" yang setia menemani pun ada juga...?!!?, jk LOL a bit of joke don't hurt aite?) . Terus saya berfikir, adakah muzik haram disisi Islam? Adakah lagu T.I "Dead & Gone" dari album terbarunya "Paper Trail" yang tengah saya dengar menggunakan headphones AKG K26P ini haram didengar (sangat spesifik sekali). Ada yang kata, "Nasyid OK la", dan ada pula yang berkata muzik ini memang haram!
Saya terbaca sebuah article yang mengatakan Al Ghazali telah menukilkan sebuah madah “Muzik ibarat tahi lalat di muka, ia kelihatan manis tetapi jika terlalu banyak tahi lalat ia akan membuatkan muka jadi hodoh”. Menurut Ust Zahazan pula (Pensyarah Jabatan Bahasa Al-Quran, UIAM), Dr. Yusuf Qaradawi dan juga fatwa Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan telah menetapkan bahawa semua lagu itu sifat asalnya harus didengar.
Dr. Yusuf Qaradawi walaubagaimanapun telah menggariskan empat sebab lagu atau muzik itu menjadi haram:
- Melanggar tatasusila Islam
- Menyanyi atau menyampaikannya dalam bentuk syahwat & berlenggang lenggok
- Jangan nyanyian atau hiburan itu meninggalkan tanggungjawab utama seperti solat
- Jangan disertai oleh benda haram seperti arak dan pergaulan bebas lelaki dan perempuan yang bukan mahram
Ustaz Zahazan juga menyatakan, "Lagu yang diharuskan tidak semestinya nasyid sahaja. Ada banyak lagu yang liriknya bagus seperti mengajak masyarakat cintakan negara, hormat pada ibu bapa dan lagu-lagu puisi untuk menyedarkan masyarakat. Semua ini boleh kita dengar. Cuma eloklah kita berpada-pada".
Saya pula berpendapat hiburan ini bagaikan sebuah rumah, jika dilihat secara kesuluruhan, cantik rupanya. Jika dilihat di bahagian ruang tamu, kemas nampaknya. Namun jika dilihat di bahagian tandas kurang eloknya. Bahkan sekiranya terlalu banyak tandas, kuranglah seri rumah itu. Bererti, hiburan ini besar dan menghiburkan, sekiranya salah pilih ataupun keterlaluan, ia boleh membawa kepada kelalaian dan mati hati. Maka berhati-hati dan berpada-padalah. Wallahu a'lam.Music is sound and silent organized in time and there is no noise in the world, except SOUND that can be turned into music
