A Particle of Boredom

Is there anyone couldn’t sleep last night?……  there’s must be something in his/her mind

ATAU Ini mungkin adalah gara-gara  SAPP tetap berkeras akan membuat usul tak percaya kepada PM pada hari ini.

Minggu lepas, Presiden Presiden Parti Maju Sabah (SAPP), Datuk Yong Teck Lee mengumumkan parti itu hilang kepercayaan kepada terhadap kepimpinan Perdana Menteri dan memberitahu akan menyokong usul tidak percaya terhadapnya. SAPP mempunyai dua ahli parlimen iaitu ahli Parlimen Tawau, Chua Soon Bui dan ahli parlimen Sepanggar, Datuk Eric Majimbun. Mereka mengesahkan akan bertindak mengikut arahan parti.

Walaupun Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz memberi jaminan tiada usul tidak percaya terhadap Abdullah pada persidangan yang bermula esok, namun ia tetap ditunggu dengan penuh debaran.

Undi tidak percaya paling akhir dalam sejarah malaysia berlaku di Kelantan di mana undi tidak percaya telah membawa kepada kejatuhan Datuk Mohamad Nasir sebagai Menteri Besar sehingga kerajaan Barisan Nasional berkuasa setahun kemudian.

Mesyuarat Kedua, Penggal Pertama, Parlimen Ke-12 (2008) Dewan Rakyat bersidang mulai hari ini sehingga 15 Julai depan, manakala Dewan Negara pula 15 Julai hingga 24 Julai 2008.

Wallahua’lam

After the historic domination in GP Canada last two weeks, BMW Sauber team fails to keep the momentum in Magny-Cours.

Felipe Massa took the lead of the drivers’ championship after a decisive victory for Ferrari at Magny-Cours on Sunday. The Brazilian trailed team mate Kimi Raikkonen for the first 38 of the 70 laps, but moved ahead decisively as the Finn’s F2008 developed an exhaust problem. The latter cost Raikkonen the win, but nobody else ever got close enough to the red cars for this to be a problem to the team.

Jarno Trulli might have been able to catch Raikkonen, but had his hands full fending off a strong late-race challenge from McLaren’s Heikki Kovalainen. The Finn nearly squeezed by on the penultimate lap, but as the Toyota moved over they briefly rubbed wheels and Kovalainen went over a chicane and had to concede his challenge. It gave Toyota their first podium since 2005.

Behind them, Robert Kubica clung on for second place in the championship chase thanks to a fifth place finish, well ahead of the scrap for the final points between Mark Webber’s Red Bull and the Renault drivers. When Fernando Alonso slid wide lapping Giancarlo Fisichella with three laps left, Nelson Piquet moved ahead of his team leader and was hounding Webber by the flag in a drive that gave him his first championship points and might arguably have saved his career.

It was a disastrous afternoon for McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton, who had worked his way up to ninth place when he had to serve a drive-through penalty on the 13th lap after the stewards adjudged him to have gained an advantage on the opening lap by going over a chicane to overtake Sebastian Vettel. The Englishman finally finished 10th, behind David Coulthard’s Red Bull.

Timo Glock hung on for Toyota to 11th place despite Vettel’s challenge for Toro Rosso, while Nick Heidfeld was a disappointing 13th in the second BMW Sauber.

Rubens Barrichello, who started from the back of the grid after a late gearbox change, was the first lapped runner in 14th, his Honda heading home the battling Williams drivers Kazuki Nakajima and Nico Rosberg. Sebastien Bourdais was 17th for Toro Rosso ahead of Giancarlo Fisichella and Adrian Sutil in their Force Indias. Jenson Button was the only retirement after his Honda made first-lap contact with Bourdais and sustained irreparable damage.

His success makes Massa the first Brazilian to lead the world championship since Ayrton Senna at Monaco in 1993. He has 48 points to Kubica’s 46 and Raikkonen’s 43. Hamilton trails with 38 after his second race without scoring points. Ferrari extend their lead in the constructors’ championship to a commanding 17 points over BMW Sauber.

Setelah negara dikecohkan dengan kenaikan harga minyak, masalah dalaman dalam Barisan Nasional akibat pengumuman yang telah dibuat SAPP ( dan juga ‘ece-ece’ yang telah dibuat Ku Li), Malaysia dikejutkan lagi dengan satu Perakuan Bersumpah Raja Petra atau statutory declaration yang telah dibuatnya di Mahkamah Tinggi Kuala Lumpur pada 18 Jun 2008.

Walau apapun kandungan dan juga taraf kesahihannya,  Raja Petra telah melakukan atau menunjukkan ‘keberanian’ tahap Gaban dengan pengakuan bersumpah tersebut kerana ia melibatkan kes altantuya yang kita gazetkan sebagai kes no 1 dan juga melibatkan VVVIP Malaysia.

Turkey has perfected the great escape.

What can I say because this FOOTBALL and that’s one of the reasons why they call this game is The Most Beautiful Game in the World. It’s a worth when you stayed-up till the wee hour in the morning just to watch a game with a dramatic finished like this.

The Turks taught the European Championship another lesson in fortitude Friday night to advance to next stage

When Ivan Klasnić headed in Luka Modrić’s cross with a minute of the overtime period to play, Croatia looked to have booked their place in Wednesday’s semi-final. (and I can see Bilic celebrated like he just won 4-D after betting 1000 Big and 1000 Small). However, for the third game running, Turkey sensationally hit back at the death to force the first shoot-out of these finals when Semih Şentürk drove in, with the aid of a deflection, from just inside the area.

Turkey, who reached the last four of the 2002 World Cup, secured a place in the European Championship semi-finals for the first time after a dramatic penalty shoot-out win over Croatia in Vienna to set up a meeting with Germany in the Euro 2008 semi-finals

Eventhough Croatia enjoyed the better chances during normal time and should have taken the lead in the first half when Ivica Olic hit the crossbar from close range following excellent work by Modric. Towards the end of the second half, Turkey keeper Rustu produced a flying one-handed save to turn away Darijo Srna’s free-kick.

Turkey created little at the opposite end, with Mehmet Topal shaving the post with a long-range drive and Tuncay Sanli flashing a 25-yard drive narrowly wide. With a minute to go, Modric beat Rustu to a loose ball on the by-line and clipped in a cross which substitute Ivan Klasnic headed home as the Turkey keeper scrambled back.

But in stoppage-time, Rustu’s huge punt downfield fell kindly at the feet of Semih Senturk just inside the box and he smashed a fierce drive into the top corner via a slight deflection.

Tottenham-bound Modric missed the first penalty and, after Turkey converted all three of their spot-kicks, Petric’s attempt was parried away by Rustu to book a semi-final date with Germany next Wednesday.

=> The good note of this game, will be some advantages to Germany whom I think will beat The Turks and make a showdown with Italy or Dutch in Euro 2008 final. It’s not that I don’t believe in Turkey but they really – really need something special ( a big help from GOD maybe) and what had happened in Athens four years back is never gonna happen again…

Have you ever watch TV program called “Kids say the darndest thing”. I really love that program very much. Below are some of the examples (but this is Malaysia version)

Harian Metro melaporkan satu kejadian luar biasa di Kampung Bukit Besar, Kuala Terengganu. Terdapat sepohon pokok yang di panggil pokok pait telah mengeluarkan cecair seperti ‘air mata’ sejak hampir semingu yang lalu sehingga penduduk kampong berebut-rebut mengambil air daripada pokok berkenaan.

Pokok Pait yang berada di dalam kawasan bersebelahan dengan tanah perkuburan Masjid Bukit Besar itu disedari mengeluarkan air pada hari Sabtu yang lalu mengundang kehadiran orang ramai untuk melihat sendiri kejadian yang dianggap aneh itu.

Walaupun kejadian ini melontarkan pelbagai pertanyaan dan macam-macam anggapan, setiap Muslim mestilah mengambilnya sebagai bukti keagungan Allah Pencipta Alam dan jangan menjadikannya/mempercayai berlebihan sehingga memesong akidah kerana perbuatan yang demikian adalah Syirik yang kita ketahui merupakan salah satu dosa yang besar.

Seperti Firman Allah swt ““Dan sembahlah olehmu akan Allah, janganlah kamu mempersekutukan-Nya dengan sesuatu. Dan berbuat baiklah kepada kedua orang ibu bapa, karib kerabat, anak yatim, orang-orang miskin, tetangga yang dekat dan jauh, teman sejawat, ibnus sabil dan hamba sahayamu.” (An-Nisa’: 36)
