A Tribute  

Posted by Sue

I believe the passing of great artists whom we had all adored and cherish this past month had shocked us all - Michael Jackson controversial death on 26th June 2009 and Yasmin Ahmad's passing just a month later on the 25th July 2009. I grew up with MJ's songs and Yasmin Ahmad is my favourite director. Despite being criticised for their work/behaviour, they're an absolute inspiration to all of us.

I stumbled on this piece of article online. I don't know whether it's true. But I just want to share it with all of you.
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim..

Michael Jackson (MJ) was known as the most loving person in the world. He gave up most of his assets for charity and all his life, he fought for equality of the African Americans, AIDS victims, Against Drug Abuse, Against Abortion, Against Child Labor and secretly channelled his properties for the hungry children of the world. However, he wasn't peace at heart. He always think of himself as a child trapped inside a man's body. Being Peter Pan is all his dream, never to grow up, forever a child. That inspires him to build Neverland - a heaven for children. Children of all ages and races are welcomed to Neverland. MJ had so much love to give.

However, he made a mistake which he didn't know of the consequences. He saw the peaceful life his brother, Jermaine (Muhammad Abdul Aziz) had as a Muslim - true, Jermaine faced so much pressure that he moved to Bahrain.

In 1989, MJ made a press conference which shocked the world, "I have seen the Islam in the life of my brother, I have read the books about Islam. And I'd love to someday feel the calmness and peace of Islam...."

Since that, MJ's life was never the same again.
He was accused of so many accusations against child molestation. MJ was not someone who can deal with much pressure as he is a 'delicate child'. All the extortion and black mail followed after that. Everything he did was being seen as wrong in the eyes of the Media. All these are to influence his fans to hate MJ. If he is hated, then he would not be influencial anymore.

For several years, he stayed in England. Getting motivation from a long time friend, Cat Stevens, who had converted into Islam - named Yusuf Islam. From him, MJ learnt how Yusuf had survived being Muslim. He made friends with a song writer, Zain Bhikha too, who wrote a song titled, "GIVE THANKS TO ALLAH", which he wanted MJ to sing whenever he is ready.

Following his trial, MJ withdrew to Bahrain, where he was the special guest of sheik Abdullah bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the son of Bahrain’s king. It was then that Michael began to give conversion more “serious thought.”
MJ stayed in Bahrain for approximately 3 years. He studied Islam, the prayers and learn to read the Koran (al-Quran).



Finally, he came back to Los Angeles and in November 2008 MJ had formally converted to Islam in a ceremony at a close friend’s house in Los Angeles.
He perform Haj with the King of Bahrain and son on December 2008.



He had a hidden agenda when he wanted to make a final comeback. He announced in a press conference on March 2009, "This will be my final concert. I'll see you all in July...."

He planned that during his concert, he would announce that this is the FINAL concert as he wouldn't be performing anymore. He will declare that he is a Muslim and will only sing with Yusuf Islam and Friends.
At the end of the concert, he will be singing the song, "GIVE THANKS TO ALLAH" with Yusuf Islam. That is the reason why he chose London as his final concert venue instead of the USA. It was because he thought he could escape the USA's extortion, and that he could perform with yusuf Islam who is in England.

At 12.30am, 25th June 2009, he hugged his production manager and said, "After reherasing for 2 months, I am finally ready for the concert..."
Before leaving to sleep, he waved his dancers, "It was a good night everyone. I'll see you all tomorrow..."
The next thing... He was pronouced dead at 2.26am....

When 911 was called, there are so much questions asked. It is as if they didn't know who MJ is and where he lived. The questions asked are more towards to delay time.
The hospital said the autopsy result can only be obtained after 2 months - very illogical as even the worst African technology could obtain the result in less than 2 weeks.

MJ's family members opt for second private autopsy as they started to feel something fishy is going on. The result came out in about 4 days - MJ was drugged with high dosage of anaesthetic - drug that brings about a reversible loss of consciousness, if used to much could stop the heart from beating.

Another result which was not aired in the media was, MJ's stomach is empty of this drug, but his blood were filled with it - same case as the death of Marilyn Monroe.
The private doctors also found many needle marks, afraid to be forced injections given to MJ on his bed.

In CNN Live after a week, Barack Obama was interviewed. And he said, "I love MJ, I grew up listening to his songs. It is a great loss, but rest assured that there is no conspiracy in his death..."
Now, why must a President made such statement before the official autopsy result came out? How would he know that there is no conspiracy without the post-mortem result? Seems like someone is afraid of his shadows.

MJ was known to the world as a person who is against drug abuse. Why must he be addicted to drug, then? If he wanted to commit suicide, why rehearse for his concert? And why will he want to see his dancers the next day?

Enough about his death. I am sure people around the world is not stupid anymore. These supreme power can fool us during the Marilyn Monroe conspiracy, Martin Luther King and Princess Diana. But in this MJ's case, they left too many loopholes for those who think...!!

MJ left us with this unfinished studio-recorded song, GIVE THANKS TO ALLAH. You can download this song here:

MJ's family was about to give him a Muslim burial with the help of The Brotherhood of Islam. But, the CIA showed up at Neverland's door - blackmailed them that if they do so publicly, Katherine (MJ's mother) would be pull off from MJ's 3 children's custody as well as MJ's estates. Instead, they'll hire Debbie Rowe for the purpose, and the court will be in their favour. So much for democracy and fairness...

Finally, they agreed to let MJ have a Muslim Burial in Neverland. But in condition, must show to the public a Christian Memorial Service, as to prove to the world that MJ was never a Muslim.

So, Staples Centre was just a normal show. That's why the coffin was closed and sealed.

MJ was buried days earlier. The Gold Coffin was empty. They were about to bury the Coffin according to Christianity ways in Hollywood - as in their deal with the USA Government.

These happened, because the USA is afraid of the rising numbers of Muslims in the world.

I don't know about you and the rest of the world. But my family thought that it is indeed suspicious about his death - the ongoing autopsy, his burial place, Neverland, the coffin during his memorial at Staples Centre, etc... But I do hope Michael was Muslim when he died. Al-Fatihah to both him and Yasmin. I guess we could no longer read any of Yasmin's interesting posts anymore. ;(

I posted our beaded bracelets designs on Al-Fareeda Bazaar. Come and take a look at them. And try to order, will ya? :p


(Disregard the "COMING SOON" text. They're already ready to be ordered. I'm too lazy to edit. :P)

Price ranges from RM18 to RM20.

They're colour customisable - it means you can choose whatever colour of bracelet that you'd like to have and we'll make the bracelet for you. We can also shorten or add some length to your bracelet! I'd insist guys to buy these remarkable bracelets for their girlfriends. ;) Luckily my friends had the urge of doing so... I provided free delivery and even purchased a RM2.50 gift box for them with no extra charge! haha~ for friends' sake.

Simple Fettucini Carbonara ... My Supper + Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner  

Posted by Sue


I don't know what's wrong with me.. Recently I don't have the urge to eat. Hmm.. Anyway, since I realised I haven't had any meal today, I decided to pamper myself with some Italian food, malas style. ;D (malas means lazy in Malay)

Ingredients:
1/2 onion chopped (bawang besar yang warna kuning tu, biasa orang putih pakai ni untuk memasak)
1 sausage sliced (I use Ramlee's Beef Hotdogs)
250-300gm fettucini pasta
1 can of Prego's Cheese and Herbs
some oil, salt and parsley

Directions:

  1. Bring some water to boil in your cooking pot.
  2. Put the fettucini into the simmering water. And a pinch of salt.
  3. While the fettucini cooks, heat some oil in your saucepan. Stir in your chopped onions.
  4. When the onions are fragrant, pour a cup of water.
  5. Open up the Cheese and Herbs can and stir in the entire content into the saucepan.
  6. Put in the sliced sausages.
  7. Stir and wait until the sauce mixed well and thickens. Make sure the sausage is cooked.
  8. By the time you finished the sauce, your fettucini should be soft and ready to be drained.
  9. Mix both the drained fettucini and sauce together into a bowl.
  10. Sprinkle some parsley and you're done!

By the way, lately I've been receiving visitors from various countries. Hmm.. :)

Grab a Burqini for only RM100!

Al-Fareeda Bazaar is NOW OPEN!

Bead-Crazy

The title says it all.

Sorry to myself for not blogging enough. I'm currently joining forces with Mak.

Both of us love handicrafts and jewelery. So... Instead of buying them, we're now making bracelets and selling them for a change!

love + passion + a little bit of work = $$$

We sell for around RM18 and RM20 (depends on the size and quality of the beads). Usually people would sell them for RM25. So our price suits students who want to pamper themselves a bit and needs to budget their expenses as well. (Plus, I let my friends book a few because PTPTN belum masyuk lagiii... ) I sold 2 already and I have to make another 2 custom-made bracelets for my classmates. - DONE!

NEW IDEA: I thought of including our beadworks in Al-Fareeda Bazaar. Pre-order. Where our customers can choose which design and colour they wish and order. And after receiving their order, we'll make them the bracelet they want and ship them up the next day. Good idea, eh?

FYI, Last night, I designed one bracelet, if you wear it, it'll look as if there are butterflies around your wrist. *proudness*


Well, that's all for now, dearies.. I have to finish the 2 bracelets, get ready and go to class in less than an hour. *sigh*

P/S - I'll post some photos here later. - DONE!

Can someone please explain to me what this means?

Hmmm... PPL Petaling Jaya, PPL Kuala Terengganu, PPL Kota Kinabalu, PPL Kuala Terengganu. It reached Kuala Terengganu and shipped off all the way to Kota Kinabalu, SABAH and back again to Kuala Terengganu in less than 4 hours, is it??

Susah-susah je, Poslaju. Terima kasih ye.

At least the parcel reached Ila's resident college office. Alhamdulillah. Huhu~

So, at the end of the day, we can make a conclusion that...

Poslaju is a mystery.

Hahaha..

Sneak Peek: Al-Fareeda Bazaar  

Posted by Sue

There's a new blogshop in town!

(But it's still under construction...)

It'll be officially open for the public by this coming week. We're going to start with selling burqinies and my aunt's famous biscuits. To promote the biscuits, our family agreed on giving out free samples to burqini buyers.

You might be wondering:

"Why Al-Fareeda Bazaar?"
Fareeda: Because my mom provided the modal for the burqinies. Hehe~
Bazaar: Because we decided not to sell only clothing and accessories. Plus, 'Boutique' is so ordinary. :p
Al: It just makes the name sounds better. ;)

"What is a Burqini?"

Well... It is a swimwear for Muslimah that covers the wearer from head to toe.
Our burqinies consist of 3 pieces: which are the head cap, tights and the main swimsuit. They are all imported and we can safely say that you will not be disappointed - because we ourselves wear it with ease, comfort, confidence and modesty. Best of all, they are by far the most affordable (low in price) burqinies you'd ever come across. While others may sell at a whopping RM200, our burqinies are priced at only RM100! That is 50% less.

So wait for the opening of Al-Fareeda Bazaar!

For Today's Lunch...

P/S - I'd like to shout out:

Happy Birthday to Atie!!
Semoga setiap detik baru dalam hidupmu diberkati dan dirahmati Allah sentiasa.
