Doctor fish :
 They call it doctor fish cause they feed on the skin of human. They eat DEAD cells. Great. Haha. I’m really really interested with this. I want to know a lot of things about this doctor fishes. Hmmm.. this could be a good research thing in the future. But the big question is, are these fishes available in the Philippines? I want to grow some of these fishes. They seems to be very useful. According to this article in a Chinese newspaper, beauty-seekers in Southern China (and other parts of the world) are soaking themselves in pools filled with a type of small fish that eat human skin: Garra Rufa, a type of small tropical fish, also nicknamed Chinchin Yu, nibble fish or simply doctor fish, are put in hot springs. As they can live and swim freely in at least 43-degree-hot waters, they are naturally used for the treatment of skin diseases in such spas. When placed in the spa, these fish can feed themselves on the dead cells of the human body, since they only consume such cells, leaving the healthy skin of the human body to grow. The whole process is reportedly free of pain. It won’t hurt and the bather might feel a pleasant tingling on his or her skin. |

Sweet IM
  Nice or not? This is what I get after I install sweetIM. Very refreshing as compared to the old goggle search screen. The thing I love about SweetIM is the new and cute emoticons and winks. The best thing is, it is free and it is fun. Try it for yourself. |
The Catholic Weekly was supposedly permitted to use the word “Allah”
Just recently when the Herald - The Catholic Weekly was supposedly permitted to use the word “Allah” in its Malay publication, The Star today has reported that Herald is not allowed to use the word “Allah” anymore in its publications, due to its claims that “Allah” is the word specifically to refer to God in Islamic context. In order to avoid confusions, “Allah” shall only be reserved for the use of Muslims to refer to their God and that other religions should only refer to God as “God” in their own publications. What they have failed to understand is that “Allah”, like “Jehovah” in English or “YHWH” in the Tetragrammaton, refers to the same God worshipped by Abraham. Little do many people know that Islam, Christianity and Judaism are grouped together as Abrahamic religion because these three religions come from the same root, that is the root of Abraham. “Allah” is “Jehovah” or “YHWH” in Arabic. This is not blasphemy! This is fact! There have been translations of the Bible in the Malay language, and to prove that what I have written is not baseless, refer to the following excerpt: Picture courtesy of http://www.worldscriptures.org/pages/malay.html The excerpt above was taken from the Gospel According to John, and the English translation, as taken from the New King James Version, would be as thus: (1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (2) He was in the beginning with God. (3) All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. (4) In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. (5) And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. (6) There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. (7) This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe. (8) He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. (9) That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. Let’s look at the following translation in Arabic:  Picture courtesy of http://www.worldscriptures.org/pages/arabic.html Sure enough. I understand not a word of it in Arabic, but I just want to draw your attention towards the word I highlighted in a rectangle, and compare that word to the following:  Picture courtesy of http://www.livingislam.org/k/allah_gr.jpg Tell me now, is it not the same to the one I highlighted in the Arabic translation of the Bible? And do you know what is the word I have highlighted? Simple. It is “Allah”. One was taken from the excerpt of the Gospel According to John of the Holy Bible, and the other one was just taken from Living Islam. Both “Allah” are the same. Both refer to the same God they worship. Both refer to the God worshipped by Abraham. Therefore, is this not just merely a matter of language? I have no idea what other people would say, but I believe the Internal Security Ministry is going to face some hard time on this issue. Fair enough, words like “Kaabah”, “Solat” and such are indeed from the Islamic context, but “Allah” is just “God” in Arabic. Therefore, if it is the same, why can’t the Herald use “Allah” in its weekly publications, then? If this publication is going to benefit those who are comfortable about using Bahasa Malaysia. If the Ministry is worried that there will be confusions among Muslims in Malaysia, then it should be the duty of religious teachers and the Ministry itself to educate the people, especially Muslims, that “Allah” is Arabic for the Tetragrammaton “YHWH”, which is originally Hebrew, and means “God”, or “Lord”. It is important to educate the people, and not shy away just like that. I can somehow hear people shouting “Blasphemy! Heretic!” Correct me if I am wrong, and bring forth your evidence. Let us share views openly. |

WE ARE MALAYSIANS.
 We live in Malaysia which has a diversity of race, religion, culture and tradition. But we must always remember to live in PEACE AND HARMONY while respecting one another. Nothing in this world is perfect. There will be times that we may have differences BUT we must always understand that we have to always follow a GIVE AND TAKE attitude and with this, we will survive for many many years to come. We must be proud of our country, which is a rich, wonderful and peaceful country to live it. Let's join hands and make MALAYSIA PROUD. WE ARE MALAYSIANS. |

New 2008 Saga
 Yesterday Pak Lah launched the new "Saga", whih was Proton's first brand (launched back in 84). I wasn't there but at a dinner thrown for journos by Zam last night, old friends told me of how, during the launch, everybody lupa (forgot) to mention Tun Dr Mahathir's role in the creation of Proton and the original Saga. |
Good Name For a Nail Salon
The owner of this nail salon must've got her inspiration during a boink. Or more likely, she just didn't know the double-meaning of the word "nail". Who the heck calls their nail salon "NAIL ME GOOD" anyway? Now we know all her customers will be going to her salon to get nailed good. Real good. Hey! Maybe next, she'll open a massage centre, called "BANG ME HARD". Link from kennyasia.com |
Mat Rempits Wanted To Transport Voters To Polling Booths
 Apparently, some clown over at Putera UMNO thought it was a good idea to pay Mat Rempits cold-hard cash to help send voters to the polling booths on election day.  This comes in the wake of rebranding these hooligans as Mat Cemerlangs, signing them up as Rakan Cops, and sending them on an all-expense-paid trip to the North Pole for a sky-diving expedition. Getting Mat Rempits to send voters to the polling booths. What a stupid, STUPID idea. AS IF it wasn't bad enough already that these noisy pests on motorbikes are terrorising our streets riding like this.  Can you imagine what's gonna happen if they REALLY let those Rempits take the Aunties out on election day? Where is the Auntie gonna sit?  Somebody is gonna get a heart attack I tell you. |

Indian American President Possible in 10 years..
 January 7: IndieeNews: It may sound fantastic now, but Jay Goyal, a 27-year-old legislator from Ohio, is confident that an Indian American will be in the race for the US presidency in another 10 years or so. ‘Within 10-12 years, you can expect an Indian American to be in the US presidential race. I won’t be surprised when it happens,’ Goyal, who is in India to catch up with his friends and extended family, told IANS in an interview here. ‘It’s a matter of time. It’s going to happen,’ the dapper Goyal, who has been hailed as a new emerging face of the Democratic Party, said when asked whether Indian Americans are ambitious enough to covet the top job in the US. ‘With the second generation of Indian Americans, there will be a significant increase in the number of young members of the community proactively participating in US politics,’ he said while referring to the spectacular success of Bobby Jindal, who won the election on a Republican platform to become the governor of Louisiana last year. |

Seven Coolest Malaysians of 2007.
 by gua.com.my 27 Dec 2007 Around this time of year, many Malaysians get into retrospective mode, contemplating on the year that was, remembering resolutions that were made and broken. It is the same here at GUA. In the midst of reflection, one of the questions that popped up was – who were some of the year’s coolest Malaysians? We’ve identified seven (you know, this being 2007) and given you our reason for putting them there. This being a democratic country, you are free to disagree and post your own list of coolest Malaysians to us. Sheikh Muszaphar Hands down, he is the man of 2007. Who else do you know who can say they went to space? A trained orthopedic surgeon, the handsome KL-native was selected over three other finalists – who were part of the Malaysian Angkasawan spaceflight programme – to make that giant leap for Malaysians. His feat was all the more amazing as he chalked up many firsts including being the first Muslim to go to space during the month of Ramadhan. During his 10 days in space, the 35-year-old had the opportunity to show his new Russian friends what Malaysian hospitality is all about. He hosted a Hari Raya party on board the space station where he treated his fellow cosmonauts to satay and some kuih Raya. Farah Fauzana Just a DJ a couple of years ago, Fafau (as she’s affectionately known to her fans) has now become a bona fide brand. Her morning radio show, HOT FM AM Krew, which she co-hosts with Faizal Ismail, is the number one morning show, while Melodi has benefited from her crazy, (sexy?), cool factor with consistent ratings. She also proved to be a bankable actress when her TV sitcom “Fara” consistently garnered over 3million viewership. From the way her star is shining, she’ll become a success even if she is selling cekodok. Indeed, when it comes to Farah Fauzana, almost everyone just wants to LAYAAANNNN… Nicol David Squash sensation Nicol is not merely raking up the titles again this year, but she also proved to be a champion with true character. When she lost in the second round of the Women’s World Open Squash in Madrid, Spain, the headlines were less than kind. As is normal with the Malaysian sports scene, when a champion is born, the expectations grow more unreasonable. “What’s wrong with Nicol?” people asked. But the girl kept her cool, got back to work and ended the year with two more titles, the Qatar Classic and the Hong Kong Open, confirming her World No. 1 status. The fact that you can sometimes see her out about town and without being diva-ish makes Nicol one cool cookie. Radhi OAG Insisting on being called "Radhi-O" after the unofficial national drink, "kopi-O", Radhi was bound to make society come around sooner or later. And it was an eye-opener for plenty of folks when his show, “Radhi.Study.Go” debuted on 8TV recently. Taking a cue from MTV's “Tommy Lee Goes to College”, a confident and pumped Radhi initiated the unthinkable and somehow made it work. By allowing the mainstream a glimpse into the life of a reformed rock & roll bad boy, he showed why he still represents the alternative lives of a new generation of young Malaysians to the largely uninformed masses. Kenny Sia The ability to laugh at ourselves is a trait that not all Malaysians possess, but that’s exactly what Kuching-born blogger Kenny Sia makes us do with his (in)famous blog www.kennysia.com. From spotting accidental phallic symbols to his self-deprecating observations, his words have quite a number of cyberfans lapping up his brand of politically-incorrect homegrown humour, making his blog more popular than most official Malaysian websites. Kenny’s not hater-free, though. When he posted photos of an accident he had witnessed, a number of people called him names and swore never to read his blog again. But he plodded on and most recently caused another, um, uncomfortable situation by posting a picture of him touching a transsexual’s breast in Bangkok, Thailand. Yes, “fearless” is another apt word to describe the dude. And that, to us, is cool. Maya Karin Why is she cool? Well, she’s beautiful and talented. This year alone, she starred in three movies – “Waris Jari Hantu”, “1957: Hati Malaya” and “Anak Halal”, where she showed that she was not afraid to make herself look unattractive. Next year, she’ll be appearing in the highly anticipated “Duyung”. Fans hardly need a second nudge to high tail it to the cinemas when it is released … just imagine, the sight of this German-Malay beauty in a mermaid outfit doing underwater scenes. The 28-year-old, who’s still single but no longer available (sorry guys, her heart belongs to some European dude), capped off the year by becoming Tag Hauer’s latest brand ambassador. Audi Mok Not exactly a household name (yet), Mok is the man responsible for some of 2007’s biggest local hits like “Mahakarya Cinta” (Faizal Tahir) and “Satu Harapan” (Jaclyn Victor). What’s cool is that Audi has managed to do things his way, resulting in his own unique sound that’s innovative yet marketable, a much-needed balance in the local music industry. Those who know him would also say that Audi’s got a wicked sense of humour, as evidenced by his blog batdude.blogspot.com (read it, if you dare), which is a necessary escape when you’re holed up in the studio 20 hours a day like he is. Hey, whatever works for him, so long as those hits keep coming our way! |
A time to relax and calm ourselves...
Nowadays, we are being served with too many news, speculations, problems, hoaxes, allegations and so forth, that we wished it did not happened, or we had not read or heard about it! To everyone, please keep all your worries and sorrows aside and spend about 5 minutes to have a look at this beautiful video below sung by Enigma, titled Return to Innocence. I had also embedded another video by Enya titled Only Time as both these videos are simply amazing and indescribable! Forget about 50 cent, forget about Fergie, forget about Good Charlotte, forget about Metallica, forget about Slipknot and forget about Timbaland, for the time being. Relax yourself by listening to the video songs below and have a peace of mind! These two artists are certainly the legendary duo for me! If any of you wanted the MP3 version of these two video songs, kindly drop a comment in this post. |
