WASPADA DENGAN DOA H1N1

2009-08-14T09:42:00.001+08:00

Saya ingin menjalankan tanggungjawab sebagai seorang Muslim untuk membantu menghalang Doa H1N1 yang telah tersebar baru-baru ini, tetapi dinafikan oleh pihak JAIS yang dikhabarkan sebagai sumbernya. Satu pengajaran penting : Semak dan waspada dengan setiap info dan maklumat yang diterima terutamanya yang melibatkan keagamaan supaya tidak mendapat maklumat tidak benar dan palsu.

Juga sila baca di laman ini.

JAIS nafi edardoa pelindung H1N1
SHAH ALAM 13 Ogos – Umat Islam di negeri ini dinasihat supaya tidak terpedaya dan terkeliru dengan risalah doa pelindung diri daripada dijangkiti selesema babi atau influenza A (H1N1) yang kini tersebar luas.
Pengarah Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor (JAIS), Datuk Mohamed Khusrin Munawi berkata, risalah yang didakwa disediakan oleh Bahagian Pendakwah Bebas JAIS itu sebenarnya tiada kaitan dengan jabatan itu dan dikhuatiri boleh mengelirukan umat Islam.
Menurutnya, setelah merujuk kepada Jabatan Mufti Selangor, doa tersebut bukanlah doa khusus bagi melindungi H1N1 yang dimaksudkan tetapi merupakan doa yang diamalkan oleh ahli kumpulan Al-Arqam yang sudah diharamkan.
‘‘JAIS tidak bertanggungjawab dan tidak pernah mengarahkan doa ini disebarkan kepada umum dan nama yang tertera dalam edaran itu juga bukan kakitangan pihak berkuasa agama negeri ini,” katanya dalam kenyataan akhbar di sini hari ini.
Kenyataan itu dikeluarkan ekoran penyebaran risalah doa pelindung H1N1 yang diedarkan kepada orang ramai di tempat-tempat awam dan risalah tersebut kononnya disediakan oleh seorang ustaz daripada Bahagian Dakwah Bebas JAIS.
Antara isi kandungan risalah berkenaan ialah menyeru orang ramai membaca satu doa yang sangat masyhur pada zaman dahulu.
Doa tersebut dikatakan ditulis oleh Asy-Shekh Ibnu Ahmad Al-Tamimi Al-Malizi yang merupakan seorang murshid.

ASRI, Vokalis Kumpulan Rabbani, Telah Meninggal Dunia

2009-08-13T13:01:00.002+08:00

Ustaz Asri, Vokalis Kumpulan Rabbani.

(http://asrirabbani.blogspot.com/)

Ustaz Asri Rabbani meninggal dunia
PETALING JAYA: Vokalis kumpulan nasyid Rabbani, Ustaz Mohd Asri Ibrahim, 42 (GiLoCatur: 40 sebenarnya), disahkan meninggal dunia kurang sejam yang lalu akibat serangan jantung di Hospital Pantai, Bangsar.
Menurut rakannya, Azadan, jenazah arwah Asri akan dibawa ke Pusat Perubatan Universiti Malaya (PPUM) selepas ini.
Dimaklumkan, arwah meninggal dunia selepas jatuh pengsan semasa memberikan ucapan dalam sidang media program 'Syahadah' di Angkasapuri, Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) kira-kira pukul 10.30 pagi tadi.
Asri dilahirkan pada 3 Ogos 1969 di Klang, Selangor.
Dia menyertai kumpulan nasyid terkenal itu sejak ia ditubuhkan secara rasmi pada 1 Mac 1997 dengan dianggotai oleh sembilan orang termasuknya.
Kehilangan Asri kini bermakna hilanglah tunjang Rabbani memandangkan arwah banyak menyumbangkan kemajuan prestasi dan memberikan kejayaan kepada Rabbani.
Atas kejayaan itu, maka tidak hairanlah jika Rabbani dijulang sebagai Penyanyi/Artis Nasyid Popular di Anugerah Bintang Popular (ABP) selama lapab tahun berturut-turut.
Kemunculan Rabbani yang turut dianggotai oleh Mohd. Asri Baidul @ Ubaidullah, Azadan Abdul Aziz, Muhammad Luqman Abd Aziz, Muhammad Rithauddeen Yaakob, Mohamad Afandi Shahbudin, Ahmad Shafie, Nazrul Azhar Tamrin dan Zulkiflee Azman ini adalah dengan konsep yang tersendiri.
Dalam tempoh lebih 12 tahun berada dalam industri ini, Rabbani telah menghasilkan 19 buah album seperti 'ARAH Dari Mana… Ke Mana…' (1997), 'Pergi Tak Kembali' (1999), 'Intifada' (2000), 'Yalla Beena' (2004) dan yang terbaru, 'Nostalgia Nada Murni'.

Saya agak terkejut bila mendapat tahu tentang berita kematian Sdra Asri dari Kumpulan Rabbani. Innalillahi wainna ilaihi rojiu'n! Begitulah, ajal maut di tangan tuhan. Mengikut tarikh lahir beliau, Allahyarham junior setahun pada kita semua Ini bermakna beliau baru sahaja menyambut ulangtahun kelahiran yang ke-40. Semoga beliau berada di kalangan orang-orang yang beriman dan mendapat rahmat Allah di alam barzakh. Bagi kita semua yang masih hidup semoga mengambil ikhtibar dan peringatan terhadap peristiwa kematian ini di mana ia tidak megira usia. Marilah sama-sama kita membuat persiapan untuk bekalan di hari akhirat.

10 Questions Regarding H1N1

2009-08-12T12:27:00.001+08:00

AUG 6 — Dr. David KL Quek wrote:

1) Can we distinguish between regular and H1N1 flu, without a lab test?

No, the flu is the flu, but there are variations in presentation. Some

symptoms such as cough, runny nose, fever, body aches, fatigue,

vomiting, diarrhoea occur more or less in every flu patient, but may

present differently by different people. Some infected people have

very mild symptoms, some in between, and a small minority, probably

less than 10 per cent, have severe features including the dangerous

pneumonia.

However, from sentinel testing and surveillance by the Ministry of

Health the last few weeks have shown that almost 95 per cent of all

flu-like illness are now caused by the H1N1 virus. Earlier some months

ago, seasonal flu variants caused by the B and other A virus were the

main causes, the bug causing most flu these few days is the A(H1N1).

This appears to be the case also in neighbouring countries, meaning

that the new virus is causing more havoc and symptomatic illness than

previous types of flu (which are still in the community).

Because almost every flu-like illness (influenza-like illness or ILI)

is due to H1N1, the MOH is now recommending that no testing to confirm

this H1N1 will now be offered.

Treat as if this is H1N1 for ILI — symptom relief for mild symptoms

(paracetamol, hydration, cough medicines, etc) and self-quarantine,

social distancing, be alert for complications.

Most (70 per cent) do not need any anti-viral medications such as

Tamiflu or Relenza. Only severe cases need to be referred to hospital

for further treatment.

2) How should doctors decide if a person be given further specific

treatment for H1N1?

If after 2-3 days, fever and cough symptoms do not improve, a recheck

with the doctor is recommended, especially if there are features of

difficulty breathing, severe weakness and giddiness, or, if the

following risk factors are present:

1. obesity (fatter patients seem to have poorer outcome and more complications)

2. those with underlying diabetes, heart disease

3. those with asthma, or chronic lung disease

4. pregnant women

5. those with reduced immunity, cancer patients, etc

6. those with obvious pneumonia features

3) Many anxious people with flu-like symptoms want to be tested or

treated for suspected H1N1, but are kept waiting or sent home, without

being tested. Is this practice right?

There is no right or wrong practice as this outbreak is extensive and

is stretching our resources to the limit. This is also the case not

just here in Malaysia, but also elsewhere around the entire world!

The recommendation is now not to spend too much time and effort trying

to get tested at designated hospitals or clinics — there is probably

no need to do so. I have been informed that as many as 1,000 patients

queue anxiously at Sungai Buloh Hospital for testing, due to fear of

the H1N1 flu.

So the message must be made clear: Most flu illness do not require

confirmatory testing, and are mild and self-limiting. More than 90 per

cent will get better on their own, with symptomatic treatment — just

watch out for possible complications, and risk factors as mentioned

above.

Our resources are limited especially for testing. This is not just for

Malaysia, but globally as well. The global demand for test kits and

reagents for the H1N1 (PCR) is overextended and are rationed due to

this extreme demand.

Some 200 million test kits have been deployed worldwide, but this

supply is critically short because of excessive demand, so most

countries have to ration testing to confirm only the worst cases, so

as to monitor the pandemic better.

4) Are doctors confused as to what to do in this outbreak, especially

when they do not have ready access to confirmatory lab tests?

Not really. Earlier on there was some confusion as to what to do next

and who to test or who to refer for further testing and admission. Now

the rules are clearer.

There is no need to do any testing to confirm the H1N1 virus for any

ILI — just assume that this is the case in the majority of cases.

Treat symptomatically when symptoms are mild, reassure the patients

and ensure that these infected patients practice good personal

hygiene, impose self-quarantine and social distancing, wear masks if

their coughing or sneezing become troublesome, and keep a watchful eye

on whether the infection is getting better or worse.

If there is difficulty breathing and gross weakness, then patients

should quickly present themselves for admission. Understandably this

phase of worsening is not always clear or easily understood by

everyone... But there is not much more that we can do — otherwise we

will be admitting too many patients and this will totally overwhelm

our health services.

But prudent caution would help to determine which seriously ill

patients need more attention and more intensive care. Unfortunately

however, there will be that odd patient who will progress unusually

quickly and collapse even before anything can be planned — hopefully

these will be few and far between.

A more important note is that all doctors and nursing personnel should

be very aware that they too have to take precautions, and employ

barrier contact practices, if there are patients with cough and cold

during this period of H1N1 outbreak, which is expected to last a year

or two. Carelessness can result in the physician or nurse or

nurse-aide becoming infected!

5) Are there sufficient guidelines from the Ministry of Health to

address this situation?

I think there are sufficient guidelines from the MOH. Although some

politicians have blamed the MOH and the minister for being inept at

handling this pandemic — in truth this is not the case.

It is useful to remember that this is an entirely new or novel virus,

which no one previously had encountered before — thus its infectivity

and contagiousness is quite high and almost no one is immune to this

virus.

Perhaps, there will come a time when all the resources from both

public and private sectors can be put to more efficient use. Some

logistic problems will invariably occur, because human beings differ

in their capacity to understand or follow directives, whatever the

source or authority.

Also patient demands have been extraordinarily high and at times very

difficult to meet — every patient necessarily feels that his flu is

potentially the worst possible type and therefore requires the most

stringent measures and testing...

Doctors are also unsure as to the seriousness or severity of this new

ailment — and we are only now beginning to understand this better — so

our less than reassuring style when encountering this new H1N1 flu is

sometimes detected by an equally anxious patient and/or their

relatives.

But there is only so much that we can do under such a pressure cooker

of an outbreak which is spreading like wildfire! But nevertheless we

should not panic, and remember that most (more than 90 per cent) of

infected people will recover with very little after-effects. Possibly

only one in 10 patients develop more serious problems which

necessitate hospitalisation.

6) Is limiting H1N1 testing only to those who have been admitted to

hospital justifiable?

I have explained the worldwide shortage of such testing kits and

reagents. Also it is near impossible to test everyone, the world over.

Besides, knowing now that almost all the flu-like illness in the

country is due to H1N1 makes it a moot point to want to test for this,

especially when most are mild.

The rationale for testing only those who need hospitalisation is to

ensure that we are dealing with the true virus, and also help to

isolate possible changes or mutations to this viral strain. The MOH is

also constantly doing sentinel surveillance (random spot-testing at

various sites around the country to determine more accurately the

various virus types and spread that are causing ILI).

7) Are we short of anti-virul drugs (Tamiflu, Relenza)? Should I take Tamiflu?

These antiviral drugs were available to most doctors during the

earlier scare of the bird flu virus, but now are severely restricted,

although some orders are still entertained from individual doctors,

clinics or hospitals. Remember that these have been block-booked by

more than 167 countries which have been shown to have been penetrated

by the H1N1 flu bug.

Our MOH has actually stockpiled some two million doses of the Tamiflu

or its generic form. In the last inter-ministerial pandemic influenza

task force meeting, this stockpile will be bumped up to 5.5 million

doses to cover some possible 20 per cent of the population.

Right now there is no shortage in the country. It is just that it is

not readily available on demand for anyone just yet. The MOH is still

of the opinion that this antiviral drug be used prudently and would

like to register every patient given this drug.

The private sector on the other hand would like to have a looser

control over the use of this drug — but we acknowledge that we should

be meticulously prudent in its use. There is a genuine fear that

resistant strains to this drug may develop with indiscriminate and

unnecessary use — then we will all be in trouble with a drug-resistant

H1N1 virus run amok!

Drug-resistant strains have been detected in Mexico, border-towns in

the US, Vietnam, Britain, Australia even. So we have to be vigilant

and closely monitor the situation. Right now, the very limited usage

of Tamiflu gives us good reason to be optimistic.

However, because of some unusual patterns of seemingly well people

dying or having very critical infections, some people and doctors are

wondering if these new strains have already reached our shores... or

have we been too late in instituting proper treatment...?

The rising number of deaths to 14 now is quite worrisome, but our

health authorities are watching this development very closely and are

also checking the virus strain to see if this has mutated. We can only

hope that this is not the case, for now.

8) What are some of the problems faced by doctors in dealing with the

H1N1 problem?

It would be good if every medical practitioner keeps a close tab on

the H1N1 pandemic, and remain fully aware of the developments and

changes, which are evolving daily. Every doctor has to be learning on

the trot, so to speak, to keep up with the progress of this outbreak

and its management, so that we can serve our patients better.

Logging in to the Internet regularly for more updated information will

certainly help, instead of lamenting that not enough is being

disseminated via the media thus far... Every doctor has to be more

proactive and practice more responsible and cautious medicine during

this trying period which is expected to run into at least one to two

years. Importantly, look out for lung complications, and the above

stated higher risk profiles, and refer these patients quickly for

further care.

Easier access to antiviral drugs and their responsible use and

monitoring would help allay public fears of delay in treatment, but

this should be tempered with care and not over-exuberance to dish out

to one and all, the precious antiviral drug, just for prevention —

this may be a very bad move which can inadvertently create a worse

outcome of drug-resistant bugs.

However, in the light of the very quick deterioration of some young

patients who have died, it might be prudent to use antiviral treatment

earlier and more aggressively.

We look forward to the specific H1N1 vaccine, when it does come our

way, probably towards the end of the year. In the meantime,

encouraging those in the front-line, heart or lung patients and

frequent travellers to have the seasonal flu vaccination is a useful

adjunct to help stem the usual problems from other flu types.

9) Are we doing everything that should or needs to be done?

Yes, if you check what other nations are doing, we are doing

relatively well. We are not overstating the dangers and we have been

quite transparent on the possibilities of this pandemic. Earlier, many

agencies and even the public and doctors have accused us of

exaggerating the pandemic, and our response was dismissed as being too

much, even over the top! Unfortunately, it was only when some deaths

occur that many are now decrying that we have done too little!

Also if you are quite honest about it, just compare with the countries

globally, and you will notice that no one health or government

authority has got this right, spot on.

We are all learning about this novel flu pandemic, and each country's

response is coloured by its past experiences. In Hong Kong, China,

Vietnam, Singapore and Malaysia we have had the SARS outbreak, so we

are necessarily more paranoid! Also here the experience is that flu

does not usually cause death in our community, unlike the west where

seasonal flu kills some hundreds of thousands every year!

So the fear factor for this H1N1 flu is not nearly as great in the

West, although it is slowly sinking in that its contagiousness and

infectivity is far greater, and fears of its reassortment to a more

virulent mutant form are growing, into the so-called second and/or

third wave of this pandemic, but we will not know until a year or so

down the line.

10) Is the public in general doing enough to help in controlling the outbreak?

I think the public is now reasonably well-informed as to this H1N1

pandemic. Perhaps, they are too well-informed, that they have a

fearful approach to this virus. But the proper thing is not too

over-react and to panic, although I know this does sound easier said

than done.

It is almost a certainty that this flu will spread within the

community — in schools, universities, academies, factories, work

places, offices, etc. WHO has projected that possibly some 20-30 per

cent of the population worldwide will become infected by this novel

flu bug, after studying various models of spread of past infections —

the huge and very rapid spread worldwide is mainly due to air travel.

While older flu pandemics took six months to extend to so many

countries, this H1N1 flu did so in less than six weeks!

In the worst-case scenarios of course, this outbreak will be alarming

— hospitalisations may be required for 100,000 up to 500,000

Malaysians, with perhaps as many as 5,000 to 27,000 infected patients

(depending on the case fatality rate or either 0.1 to 0.5 per cent)

succumbing to this illness.

But because we have been monitoring closely and containing the

outbreak thus far, with heightened awareness and greater social

responsibility, it is possible to ameliorate the infectivity, spread

and fatality that will unfortunately accompany this pandemic... Just

how successful we will be in limiting these adverse outcomes remains

to be seen, but we can be hopeful.

How can the public help? First learn and acquire good personal

hygiene. If sick, please be responsible and stay at home, even in your

own room where possible, wear a face mask (a cheap three-ply surgical

mask will do, because large droplet spread is the main danger). Do not

go out, practice what is now known as social distancing (about three

metres from anyone), and be socially responsible, don't go to public

places and infect others — for young people this would be hard, but

absolutely necessary — the spread is most rampant in this age group

between 16 and 25 years.

When the illness does not go away after a few days or when you are

deteriorating, get to the nearest hospital. Most importantly, be very

aware and responsible!

Finally, keep abreast of all new developments, because these are

evolving all the time. With keen awareness, prudent care, early

detection and social responsibility, correct and prompt use of

antiviral and other support medical care, and later mass specific

vaccination, we can overcome this novel H1N1 flu! But it will take

time, patience, public cooperation, much concerted effort and consume

great resources.

Rahsia Solat Awal Waktu

2009-08-06T11:10:00.002+08:00

Setiap peralihan waktu solat sebenarnya menunjukkan perubahan tenaga alam ini yang boleh diukur dan dicerap melalui perubahan warna alam. Sebagai contoh, pada waktu Subuh alam berada dalam spektrum warna biru muda yang bersamaan dengan frekuensi tiroid yang mempengaruhi sistem metabolisma tubuh. Jadi warna biru muda atau waktu Subuh mempunyai rahsia berkaitan dengan penawar/rezeki dan komunikasi.

Mereka yang kerap tertinggal waktu Subuhnya ataupun terlewat secara berulang-ulang kali, lama kelamaan akan menghadapi masalah komunikasi dan rezeki. Ini kerana tenaga alam iaitu biru muda tidak dapat diserap oleh tiroid yang mesti berlaku dalam keadaan roh dan jasad bercantum (keserentakan ruang dan masa) - dalam erti kata lain jaga daripada tidur.

Disini juga dapat kita cungkil akan rahsia diperintahkan solat diawal waktu. Bermulanya saja azan Subuh, tenaga alam pada waktu itu berada pada tahap optimum. Tenaga inilah yang akan diserap oleh tubuh melalui konsep resonan pada waktu rukuk dan sujud. Jadi mereka yang terlewat Subuhnya sebenar sudah mendapat tenaga yang tidak optimum lagi.

Warna alam seterusnya berubah ke warna hijau (isyraq & dhuha) dan kemudian warna kuning menandakan masuknya waktu Zohor. Spektrum warna pada waktu ini bersamaan dengan frekuensi perut dan hati yang berkaitan dengan sistem penghadaman. Warna kuning ini mempunyai rahsia yang berkaitan dengan keceriaan.

Jadi mereka yang selalu ketinggalan atau terlewat Zuhurnya berulang-ulang kali dalam hidupnya akan menghadapi masalah di perut dan hilang sifat cerianya.

Kemudian warna alam akan berubah kepada warna oren, iaitu masuknya waktu Asar di mana spektrum warna pada waktu ini bersamaan dengan frekuensi prostat, uterus, ovari dan testis yang merangkumi sistem reproduktif. Rahsia warna oren ialah kreativiti. Orang yang kerap tertinggal Asar akan hilang daya kreativitinya dan lebih malang lagi kalau di waktu Asar ni jasad dan roh seseorang ini terpisah (tidur la tu...). Dan jangan lupa, tenaga pada waktu Asar ni amat diperlukan oleh organ-organ reproduktif kita

Menjelang waktu Maghrib, alam berubah ke warna merah dan di waktu ini kita kerap dinasihatkan oleh orang-orang tua agar tidak berada di luar rumah. Ini kerana spektrum warna pada waktu ini menghampiri frekuensi jin dan iblis (infra-red) dan ini bermakna jin dan iblis pada waktu ini amat bertenaga kerana mereka resonan dengan alam. Mereka yang sedang dalam perjalanan juga seelok-eloknya berhenti dahulu pada waktu ini (solat Maghrib dulu la.) kerana banyak interferens (pembelauan) berlaku pada waktu ini yang boleh mengelirukan mata kita. Rahsia waktu Maghrib atau warna merah ialah keyakinan, pada frekuensi otot, saraf dan tulang.

Apabila masuk waktu Isyak, alam berubah ke warna Indigo dan seterusnya memasuki fasa Kegelapan. Waktu Isyak ini menyimpan rahsia ketenteraman dan kedamaian di mana frekuensinya bersamaan dengan sistem kawalan otak. Mereka yang kerap ketinggalan Isyaknya akan selalu berada dalam kegelisahan. Alam sekarang berada dalam Kegelapan dan sebetulnya, inilah waktu tidur dalam Islam.

Tidur pada waktu ini dipanggil tidur delta dimana keseluruhan sistem tubuh berada dalam kerehatan. Selepas tengah malam, alam mula bersinar kembali dengan warna putih, merah jambu dan seterusnya ungu di mana ianya bersamaan dengan frekuensi kelenjar pineal, pituitari, talamus dan hipotalamus. Tubuh sepatutnya bangkit kembali pada waktu ini dan dalam Islam waktu ini dipanggil Qiamullail.

Begitulah secara ringkas perkaitan waktu solat dengan warna alam. Manusia kini sememangnya telah sedar akan kepentingan tenaga alam ini dan inilah faktor adanya bermacam-macam kaedah meditasi yang dicipta seperti taichi, qi-gong dan sebagainya. Semuanya dicipta untuk menyerap tenaga-tenaga alam ke sistem tubuh.

Kita sebagai umat Islam sepatutnya bersyukur kerana telah di'kurniakan' syariat solat oleh Allah s.w.t tanpa perlu kita memikirkan bagaimana hendak menyerap tenaga alam ini. Hakikat ini seharusnya menginsafkan kita bahawa Allah s.w.t mewajibkan solat ke atas hambanya atas sifat pengasih dan penyayang-Nya sebagai pencipta kerana Dia tahu hamba-Nya ini amat-amat memerlukannya.

Adalah amat malang sekali bagi kumpulan manusia yang amat cuai dalam menjaga solatnya. Semua yg terdapat di alam ini adalah untuk manfaat segala makhluk2 nya.

Wallah Hu 'aklam.

Just Wanna Share Some IT Knowledge

2009-05-23T11:24:00.003+08:00

Currently, I am a Senior Network Systems Engineer who is responsible for a Compuware and NMS (Network Monitoring Systems) Services unit with a local IT company. I have several years of experience in networking especially on LAN (Local Area Networking). Before that I was directly involved in few IT mega projects which are JPJ (Road Transport Department) Computerization and JIM (Immigration Department). Yes, if you renew your driver's license at the JPJ branches or the post office, I was part of that. When you want to apply or renew a passport or use the automatic gate at KLIA when going and comeback from overseas, yes I was part of that too. Alhamdulillah, I am very grateful to Allah for given me the opportunity to help my country in that capacity and use my knowledge and experience learnt while studying overseas at UTEP and being a JPA scholar.

Enough about that. Here I just wanna share some IT knowledge that some of you may not know about.

First, do you know that when you are online your PC or notebook will be assigned a public IP address? Do you know what that IP address assigned to you? If you want to know, go to this site. In fact, there are so many websites like GeoBytes IP Locator , http://www.ip-adress.com/ , or http://www.lawrencegoetz.com/programs/ipinfo/ that offer the service to identify your IP while online.

Secondly, actually what is an IP address?

An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a numerical identification and logical address that is assigned to devices participating in a computer network utilizing the Internet Protocol for communication between its nodes.^[1]Although IP addresses are stored as binary numbers, they are usually displayed in human-readable notations, such as 208.77.188.166 (for IPv4), and 2001:db8:0:1234:0:567:1:1 (for IPv6). The role of the IP address has been characterized as follows: "A name indicates what we seek. An address indicates where it is. A route indicates how to get there."^[2]

Read more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address

OR ... in other words,

In the most widely installed level of the Internet Protocol (IP) today, an IP address is a 32-bit number that identifies each sender or receiver of information that is sent in packets across the Internet.

... from http://searchwindevelopment.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid8_gci212381,00.html

If you want to read more about what is an IP address, you may also check this site.

Actually, the information as at your fingertip nowadays. One of the important aspect of getting info from the net is you need to know how to "googling" - a term used to do a search using google.

I think it is enough for today. Learn it step by step. It is very important to know this sort of stuff because it involves your online activity.

Hopefully, the above is benefitial to all of you.

A World Record : Most Snails On a Face!

2009-05-22T08:54:00.006+08:00

Tengok budak Mat Salleh kat USA di bawah ini. Pandai dia cari idea dan gunakan kelebihannya untuk memahat nama dalam Guiness World of Record. Macam mana dengan anak-anak kita? Even how about us? Can't we set up a world record?

Takkan setakat cipta record besarkan perut aje hehehe ... just kidding!

Ada yang kegelian melihat gambar di atas?

Most snails on a face-world record set by Fin Keheler

SANDY, Utah, USA -- Fin Keheler, 11, managed to cover his face in 43 snails in one minute, and stood still without any of the mollusks falling off-setting the new world record for the Most snails on a face.

It took him two tries before he was successful and when he counted them, 43 of the slimy creatures had stayed on his face.

Keleher had to keep 37 snails on his face for ten seconds.

Fin said, “I thought I could totally beat that because I’m not grossed out by snails like most people are.“

Fin made three attempts on Saturday. Sitting back in a reclining chair, snails gathered from neighbors' gardens were carefully placed on his face. Those that remained for at least 10 seconds were counted.

The first count was a respectable 30, but not enough. Fin tried again and got 35, then tried one more time. He got 38, but winning by one wasn’t enough. So a fourth and final time trial was ordered. They counted 43.

The snails were gathered from neighbors' gardens and Keleher's family helped put them on his face.

No snails were harmed in this world record attempt.

Unit Trust, Guys!

2009-05-21T14:28:00.004+08:00

Wanna know what some TIEC3 alumni do to get extra money? All TIEC3 alumni are basically smart people and SPM high achievers. Actually, a number of them are financial consultants involving in unit trust business either as a full timer or as a freelancer. Among them are Atai, Norm and Bruce and if I am not mistaken there are more. Good luck to them!

Below are a chain of emails in August 2008 regarding unit trust. Please contact them if you wanna know more about it and wanna have some. I myself have invested 10K each in Public Mutual and CIMB each few years back.

since the money is taken from EPF Account 1 then whatever keuntungan will be channeled back to the said account (EPF rule mana kita boleh ubah2 sesuka hati....). Unless you initially invest using your own cold hard cash then it will go direct to your pocket. Exposing your money to equity trading will either earn you more profit, or less profit or the worst case scenario wipe away all of it. My sincere advise don't borrow to invest since you might have to suffer loss and at the same time service your loan. Default payment means your name will be blacklisted, lagi susah oooo... Kalau pinjam sama along lag nayaaa... However, unit trust risk is quite managable and the return is quite handsome as well.

Cop2 jari senang jer, suruh je la cop few forms so every three months tak yah la cop lagi... La ni kene buat 2 - 3 kerja la Brus, semua barang naik regaaaaa....

norm
san marcos dulu
unit trust consultant la niii....

Norm.

Akum , ini Norman San Marcos ke ? hang kat Bernama lagi ke

Kempen Baguih no.

But Norm , aku rasa bila target dah capai , instead hang masuk EPF balik , lebih baik hang tukar masuk the profit to money market. Ini sebab profit hang tak expose to equity trading too much. Lagi satu bila duit tu masuk EPF balik payah nak keluar lah . Bercop-cop jari dibuatnye . Ini aku punya opinion lah . Apa hang cakap tu pun betul .

Apa-apa pun , kawan2 masuk Unit Trust sekarang . Sebab tgh Murah !!!!.

Pun buat Unit Trust .

unit trust ni interesting sebab pulangannya jauh lebih besar dari ASB, Tabung Haji, mahupun EPF sendiri. Investment boleh dilakukan sama ada menerusi EPF Akaun 1 atau tunai. Jika EPF, pengeluaran boleh dibuat setiap tiga bulan sekali. Boleh pilih Islamic funds atau conventional. Tempoh masa investment adalah medium to long term, that is about 3 - 5 years dengan target keuntungan melebihi 10%. Often the ROI (return of investment) exceeds 20%.

The amount that can be withdrawn from EPF Account 1 depends on individual age. E.g. kalau umur 40 years jumlah simpanan asas mandatory is RM44,000. Assuming one has 100K, minus RM44K so ada balance RM56K.Dari jumlah RM56K tu pulak cuma 20% sahaja yang layak dilaburkan iaitu sebanyak RM11,200. Kalau cash investment this calculation does not apply. Minimum investment is RM1,000. Keuntungan selepas tempoh matang akan dimasukkan semula ke dalam akaun EPF, jika cash one will get back his pokok investment plus profit. Unit Trust Consultant will inform and advise bila target telah dicapai.

For those yang belum invest this is the right time to do so because semua funds especially CIMB Wealth Advisor harga semua tengah murah. The lower the price is better because you will get more units. Sesiapa berminat boleh lah hantar pertanyaan lanjut or use Yahoo Messenger to message me at norm2702@yahoo.com or 019 211 6614 atau 03-2696 2377 nak call Atai pun boleh, yang penting start invest now for our future. No harm taking some from EPF because whatever it is giving us at year end is like peanut only. So, happy investing!

Norm

Ceritalah lagi seronok jugak dengar pasal Unit Trust ni. Bukan ke inflasi ni disebabkan duit berlebih2 kat pasaran menyebabkan supply kurang. Bila supply kurang harga barang naik. Bila barang naik central bank terpaksa pulak kurangkan jumlah duit dipasaran dengan kenakan interest tinggi supaya orang simpan duit lagi banyak kat bank sebab pulangannya pun besar. Unit Trust camna lak? Berapa pesen yield? Fixed income ke?

Hello norm, sorrylah tak tau nama hang sebenar apa. Muka pun dah tak ingat. Any way thank you for you advice. Cuma nak tau kalu nak invest pakai dui sendiri agak2 brapa minimum? Risiko tinggi tak? pulangan tiap2 tahun dapat ker cam ASN tu? Rekomen satu Unit Trust yang bole trust punya and Islamic ofcourse. TQ.

Noraidah Basri

Salam... Intan, kalau nak invest minimum is RM500 - but rule of thumb says the more you invest the better the return will be. Unit trusts risks are manageable, the investment is for medium to long term, say three to five years, could be profitable earlier than three years. There are plenty of Islamic funds and conventionals for you to choose from but for Islamic fund I would suggest CIMB Islamic DALI Equity Fund formerly known as Dana Al-Ihsan 2, for conventional CIMB Principal Equity Aggressive Fund 1.

You could invest both using your cash and EPF at the same time. Kalau you and your colleagues kat MBSA free I boleh datang jumpa you all and bagi clear explanation. I am staying in Klang, so Shah Alam tu dalam 15 - 20 minit jer dah sampai. Pada kawan2 yang tidak minat maaf ya... sorry for flooding your mail with unnecessary mails. In the mean time those yang minat boleh send mail direct to me norm2702@yahoo.com because I think it is not appropriate to discuss about this at the expense of our other friends' e-mails.

UPDATE ABOUT AZAM AKA SILVER KENARI

2009-05-20T21:31:00.002+08:00

Azam wrote ...

Iye.. Betul le tu.. Saya yang berbaju putih, jadi tekong, takut lembu lari. Gambar di ambil sewaktu majlis korban hari raya aidil adha di Bukit Indah, Bandar Nusajaya.

Kami semua penghuni bilik 310 blok 12. Betul le tu.. Akhir 1988 - saya sambung belajar di Lamar University, Beaumont- ambil dalam computer science, minor dalam elektrikal engineering.

Balik malaysia pada akhir 1990. Tahun 1991- bekerja di kenwood electronics engineering sebagai engineer. Tahun 1996 - pula di total project management (anak syarikat johor sedc) sebagai sistem analyst. Tahun 1999 - pula di johor corporation sebagai system analyst juga. Tahun 2005 pula di sovereign multimedia (anak syarikat johor corporation) sebagai network engineer.. sampai la nie..

Budak2x tiec yang saya jumpa last week- si rohmat. Maasom ada saya jumpa dalam bulan lepas.
Budak2x lain macam urin, alan, mus & bob - last sekali jumpa masa kat elpaso texas rasanya pada musim summer 1989. Sewaktu nikah si zuraini (nota: betullah tu .. kami panggil dia ZACK, terror buat mee bandung) (iye ke namanya? Si helmi saya pernah jumpa pada tahun 1991/1992 di langkawi - menguruskan perniagaannya. manakala hayazi dan ucop tu dah tak pernah jumpa sejak 1988. Peh dah 21 tahun dah..

Keadaan sekarang dah berbeza - perut dah boroi, rambut dah jarang, uban pun dah ada.. hahaha....

Azam, ape kabo ek?

2009-05-20T13:02:00.006+08:00

Kalau tidak salah, Azam yang bert-shirt putih dan berkaca mata. Betul tak Zam?

Memang sudah lama sudah tidak berjumpa dan bertemu dengan salah seorang room mate saya dahulu sewaktu di KPP/ITM Seksyen 18. Semenjak saya fly ke El Paso dan beliau ke mana ek? pada hujung 1988, kami telah berpisah. Kalau tidak salah ingatan, penghuni-penghuni bilik 310 Blok 12(?) selain dari saya ialah Hayazi, Azlan aka Alan, Yusof aka Usop (mereka semua rakan sebilik kecil), Zahurin aka Urin, Mustafa aka Mus, Nor Azam dan Hilmi. Tiga orang dari mereka telah bersama-sama menyambung pengajian di UTEP iaitu Urin, Mus dan Usop yang telah fly awal dari kami.

Azam pergi ke U mana saya kurang pasti. Mungkin beliau boleh tolong jawab soalan ini. Apa yang masih saya ingat beliau juga mengambil jurusan yang sama dengan saya iaitu Computer Science. Kalau mengikut maklumat dalam emel beliau dalam YM group, beliau sekarang menetap di Taman Bukit Indah, Bandar Baru Nusa Jaya Johor. Beliau merupakan ahli qaryah dan jemaah Masjid Bukit Indah.

Azam, mungkin boleh update sikit tentang diri anda sekarang??
