Assalamualaikum,
Oleh kerana kesibukan yang luar biasa, maka Mami tak dak masa nak update blog ni lansung, hari ni masa buka email, ada email menarik dari seorang kawan so Mami ambil kesempatan untuk menciplak dak merakam kannya di blog Mami, terima kasih kawan
Subject: "Bagaimana wudhu' zahir dan batin?"
Seorang ahli ibadah bernama Isam Bin Yusuf, sangat warak dan khusyuk solatnya. Namun, dia selalu khuatir kalau-kalau ibadahnya kurang khusyuk dan selalu bertanya kepada orang yang dianggapnya lebih ibadahnya, demi untuk memperbaiki dirinya yang selalu dirasainya kurang khusyuk.
Pada suatu hari, Isam menghadiri majlis seorang abid bernama Hatim Al-Assam dan bertanya, "Wahai Aba Abdurrahman, bagaimanakah caranya tuan solat?" Hatim berkata, "Apabila masuk waktu solat, aku berwudhu' zahir dan batin." Isam bertanya, "Bagaimana wudhu' zahir dan batin itu?" Hatim berkata, "Wudhu' zahir sebagaimana biasa iaitu membasuh semua anggota wudhu' dengan air".
Sementara wudhu' batin ialah membasuh anggota dengan tujuh perkara -:
* Bertaubat
* Menyesali dosa yang telah dilakukan
* Tidak tergila-gilakan dunia
* Tidak mencari/mengharap pujian orang (riya')
* Tinggalkan sifat berbangga
* Tinggalkan sifat khianat dan menipu
* Meninggalkan sifat dengki.
Seterusnya Hatim berkata, "Kemudian aku pergi ke masjid, aku kemaskan semua anggotaku dan menghadap kiblat. Aku berdiri dengan penuh kewaspadaan dan aku rasakan:
1.aku sedang berhadapan dengan Allah
2..Syurga di sebelah kananku
3.Neraka di sebelah kiriku
4.Malaikat Maut berada di belakangku
5.aku bayangkan pula aku seolah-olah berdiri di atas titian 'Siratal mustaqim' dan menganggap bahawa solatku kali ini adalah solat terakhir bagiku, kemudian aku berniat dan bertakbir dengan baik."
"Setiap bacaan dan doa didalam solat, aku faham maknanya kemudian aku rukuk dan sujud dengan tawadhuk, aku bertasyahud dengan penuh pengharapan dan aku memberi salam dengan ikhlas. Beginilah aku bersolat selama 30 tahun."
Apabila Isam mendengar, menangislah dia kerana membayangkan ibadahnya yang kurang baik bila dibandingkan dengan Hatim.
So amacam? Ibadah kita bagaimana?
"Tepuk dada tanya Iman"

Assalamualaikum,
Just came back from kampung, Cuti cuti Malaysia with family.
Today I opened my email, and found a good article send by a friend of mine from UK. I've decided to post it in my blog so that everyone who read this blog can share the experience.
SIGNS OF OVARIAN CANCER (even in the absence of Ovaries)
THIS IS A MUST TO READ TO THE END
An Eye Opener on Ovarian Cancer
I hope you all take the time to read this and pass it on to all you can. Send this to the women in your life that you care about.
A few years ago, Gilda Radner died of ovarian cancer. Her symptoms were inconclusive, and she was treated for everything under the sun until it was too late. This blood test finally identified her illness but alas, too late. She wrote a book to heighten awareness. Gene Wilder is her widower.
KATHY’S STORY: this is the story of Kathy West
As all of you know, I have Primary Peritoneal Cancer. This cancer has only recently been identified as its OWN type of cancer, but it is essentially Ovarian Cancer.
Both types of cancer are diagnosed in the same way, with the “tumour marker” CA-125 BLOOD TEST, and they are treated in the same way - surgery to remove the primary tumour and then chemotherapy with Taxol and Carboplatin.
Having gone through this ordeal, I want to save others from the same fate. That is why I am sending this message to you and hope you will print it and give it or send it via E-mail to everybody you know.
One thing I have learned is that each of us must take TOTAL responsibility for our own health care. I thought I had done that because I always had an annual physical and PAP smear, did a monthly Self-Breast Exam, went to the dentist at least twice a year, etc. I even insisted on a sigmoidoscopy and a bone density test last year. When I had a total hysterectomy in 1993, I thought that I did not have to worry about getting any of the female reproductive organ cancers.
LITTLE DID I KNOW? I don’t have ovaries (and they were HEALTHY when they were removed), but I have what is essentially ovarian cancer. Strange, isn’t it?
These are just SOME of the things our Doctors never t ell us: ONE out of every 55 women will get OVARIAN or PRIMARY PERITONEAL CANCER.
The “CLASSIC” symptoms are an ABDOMEN that rather SUDDENLY ENLARGES and CONSTIPATION and/or DIARRHEA.
I had these classic symptoms and went to the doctor. Because these symptoms seemed to be “abdominal”, I went to a gastroenterologist. He ran tests that were designed to determine whether there was a bacteria infection; these tests were negative, and I was diagnosed with “Irritable Bowel Syndrome”. I guess I would have accepted this diagnosis had it not been for my enlarged abdomen. I swear to you, it looked like I was 4-5 months pregnant! I therefore insisted on more tests.
They took an X-ray of my abdomen; it was negative. I was again assured that I had Irritable Bowel Syndrome and was encouraged to go on my scheduled month-long trip to Europe. I couldn’t wear any of my slacks or shorts because I couldn’t get them buttoned, and I KNEW something was radically wrong. I INSISTED on more tests, and they reluctantly) scheduled me for a CT-Scan (just to shut me up, I think). This is what I mean by “taking charge of our own health care.”
The CT-Scan showed a lot of fluid in my abdomen (NOT normal). Needless to say, I had to cancel my trip and have FIVE POUNDS of fluid drawn off at the hospital (not a pleasant experience I assure you), but NOTHING compared to what was ahead of me.
Tests revealed cancer cells in the fluid. Finally, finally, finally, the doctor ran a CA-125 blood test, and I was properly diagnosed.
I HAD THE CLASSIC SYMPTOMS FOR OVARIAN CANCER, AND YET THIS SIMPLE CA-125 BLOOD TEST HAD NEVER BEEN RUN ON ME, not as part of my annual physical exam and not when I was symptomatic. This is an inexpensive and simple blood test!
PLEASE, PLEASE TELL ALL YOUR FEMALE FRIENDS AND RELATIVES TO INSIST ON A CA-125 BLOOD TEST EVERY YEAR AS PART OF THEIR ANNUAL PHYSICAL EXAMS.
Be forewarned that their doctors might try to talk them out of it, saying, “IT ISN’T NECESSARY.” Believe me, had I known then what I know now, we would have caught my cancer much earlier (before it was a stage 3 cancer). Insist on the CA-125 BLOOD TEST; DO NOT take “NO” for an answer!
The normal range for a CA-125 BLOOD TEST is between zero and 35. MINE WAS 754. (That’s right, 754!). If the number is slightly above 35, you can have another done in three or six months and keep a close eye on it, just as women do when they have fibroid tumours or when men have a slightly elevated PSA test (Prostatic Specific Antigens) that helps diagnose prostate cancer.
Having the CA-125 test done annually can alert you early, and that’s the goal in diagnosing any type of cancer - catching it early.
Do you know 55 women? If so, at least one of them will have this VERY AGGRESSIVE cancer. Please, go to your doctor and insist on a CA-125 test and have one EVERY YEAR for the rest of your life.
And forward this message to every woman you know, and tell all of your female family members and friends. Though the median age for this cancer is 56, (and, guess what, I’m exactly 56), women as young as 22 have it. Age is no factor.
A NOTE FROM AN RN:
Well, after reading this, I made some calls. I found that the CA-125 test is an ovarian screening test equivalent to a man’s PSA test prostate screen (which my husband’s doctor automatically gives him in his physical each year and insurance pays for it). I called the general practitioner’s office about having the test done. The nurse had never heard of it. She told me that she doubted that insurance would pay for it. So I called Prudential Insurance Co, and got the same response. Never heard of it - it won’t be covered.
I explained that it was the same as the PSA test they had paid for my husband for years. After conferring with whomever they confer with, she told me that the CA-125 would be covered.
It is $75 in a GP’s office and $125 at the GYN’s. This is a screening test that should be required just like a PAP smear (a PAP smear cannot detect problems with your ovaries). And you must insist that your insurance company pay for it.
Gene Wilder and Pierce Brosnan (his wife had it, too) are lobbying for women’s health issues, saying that this test should be required in our physicals, just like the PAP and the mammogram. PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO SEND THIS OUT TO ALL THOSE YOU CAN. BE IT MALE OR FEMALE, IT SHOULD NOT MATTER, AS THEY CAN FORWARD IT ALSO TO THOSE LOVED ONES THEY KNOW.
IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH FORWARDING SOMETHING AS IMPORTANT AS THIS, HERE’S A LITTLE HINT THAT MAY ASSIST YOU WITH YOUR DECISION ~ JUST PRETEND THAT THIS IS A JOKE, WHICH IT CERTAINLY IS NOT, AND SEND IT OUT TO ALL THE FOLKS YOU WOULD IF IT WAS. THANKS.
this is certainly no joke at all.

Are You Loaded with Many Potatoes?
Assalamualaikum,
This is a good article, also ciplak from my e group emails.
A kindergarten teacher has decided to let her class play game. The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag containing a few potatoes. Each potato will be given a name of a person that the child hates, so the number of potatoes that a child will put in his/her plastic bag will depend on the number of people he/she hates.
So when the day came, every child brought some potatoes with the name of the people he/she hated. Some had 2 potatoes; some 3 while some up to 5 potatoes. The teacher then told the children to carry with them the potatoes in the plastic bag wherever they go (even to the toilet) for 1 week.
Days after days passed by, and the children started to complain due to the unpleasant smell let out by the rotten potatoes. Besides, those having 5 potatoes also had to carry heavier bags. After 1 week, the children were relieved because the game had finally ended.The teacher asked: "How did you feel while carrying the potatoes with you for 1 week?" The children let out their frustrations and started complaining of the trouble that they had to go through having to carry the heavy and smelly potatoes wherever they go.
Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the game. The teacher said: "This is exactly the situation when you carry your hatred for somebody inside your heart. The stench of hatred will contaminate your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you go. If you cannot tolerate the smell of rotten potatoes for just 1 week, can you imagine what is it like to have the stench of hatred in your heart for your lifetime?"
Feeling like hating anybody now?
Bye, thats for today.

Apa yang manusia cari dalam hidup ini
Assalamualaikum,
Hari ni Mami mendapat satu kejutan yang paling hebat dalam sejarah pekerjaan Mami sabagai boss kecil department Mami
Staf mami yang Mami paling sayangi menghantar surat berhenti kerja. Bayangkan lah selama lebih sepuluh tahun bekerja dibawah penyeliaan Mami, dia yang staff terbaik yang pernah beri tunjuk ajar, hari ini menghantar surat untuk berhenti kerja?
Staf ni memang menjadi harapan Mami untuk menggantikan tempat Mami sekiranya Mami berhenti kerja nanti, semua yang ada didalam dada Mami telahpun mami curahkan kepadanya, dan dia seorang staf yang tidak pernah melawan cakap Mami. Apa sahaja arahan dari Mami akan dibuat sebaik mungkin. Apabila dimarahi kerana ada perkara perkara yang salah yang telah dilakukan oleh nya, dia tidak segan silu meminta maaf , dan tidak pernah pula bersikap negatif.
Di mengambil keputusan untuk berhenti kerana mendapat tawaran ditempat lain yang lebih baik kedudukannya. Walaupun Mami terasa berat hati untuk melepaskannya, Mami tidak mau pula memberikan apa apa nasihat yang mungkin nanti disalah tafsir sebagi tidak mahu melepaskanya. Biarlah dia membuat keputusan sendiri.
Mami cuma berharap keputusan yang diambil ini adalah sebaik baik keputusan demi untuk masa depannya.
Itulah kita sebagai manusia, sentiasa tidak menghargai sesuatu yang ada didepan mata, hanya apabila kita kehilangannyan barulah kita meratapinya.
All this while I thought she is comfortable working here under my supervision, when actualy she is not that comfortable, because if she is why did she seek for another job elsewhere. May be I have mistreated her silence , thinking that everything is okay, when something is not .........
Well it is too late, she has already tender her resignation. I only wish her goodluck for her future undertakings. I am very sad, upset, angry............................ I dont know why . May be frustration is the correct word.
Well life must go on, there's a lot to be done, with the coming tournament , she is leaving , another staf has already left last week (not that I missed the staff). I am feeling awfully tired.
Aduhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Ya Allah hanya kepadaMU aku berserah, hanya kepadaMU aku memohon pertolongan, berikanlah aku kekuatan untuk mengahadapi segala masalah duniawi ini
Inilah secebis kisah Mami pada hari ini, yang akan Mami ingat selalu kerana mungkin ia akan menjadi pengajaran paling baik untuk Mami dimasa akan datang
