Peristiwa 31 Mei

+ Assalamualaikum +
+ H Y E +

14tahun yg lalu, 31 Mei 1998 merupakan hari yg aku satu keluarga takkan dapat lupakan. Adik aku paling bongsu, Mohamed Fikri @ Dik Li pergi buat selama-lamanya pada usia 6 bulan. T_T Masa tu aku br darjah 6… Baru 11 hari sambut hari ulangtahun ke-12. Sedihkan…? (Al-Fatihah)

Arwah adik aku ni mmg sejak lahir ade masalah kesihatan. Yang aku faham masa tu, die ade semput & masalah paru-paru. Aku mmg x berapa nak jelas ape sbnrnye penyakit Dik Li , yelah masa tu aku kecik lagi. Bila dah besar ni tak sampai hati nak tnye mak aku. Sedih plak die nanti.. So, just put a full stop there..

Aku mmg takkan lupa wajah abah aku ms kejut kami adik beradik mlm tu bgtau Dik Li dah takde. Ms tu pon mcm taktau nak bagi expression ape..baru bgn tido, mamai dpt pulak cite sedih … Hmm.. FYI, Dik Li meninggal kat Hospital Kluang dlm tidur. Mmg mak & nurse tak perasan memula. Alhamdulillah , tuhan ambil nyawa Dik Li dlm keadaan tenang.

~AL-FATIHAH~

~Aku tak sanggup nk buat entry ni panjang2…

30 hours ago, I escaped from being kidnapped
by Chin Xin-Ci on Tuesday, 29May 2012 at 00:39 ·


As I sit here writing this, I am just so grateful to be alive.
To think that 30 hours ago I had a knife to my throat, face to face with the threat of being
kidnapped and raped. It was a Sunday, at 5.22PM. Iwas alone, walking towards my
boyfriend's car in level B2 of The Curve, Mutiara Damansara.

He was not in town, and I was running errands with his car.
Just as I was putting my shopping bags in the rear seat, the rear car door was slammed
against my back, and a meat cleaver was pressed against my throat. A man covered my
mouth with his hand, and whispered not to scream. He then shoved me onto the floor of the backseat
of the car and waved the cleaver at me, reminding me not to scream. He was skinny, wearing a baggy
turqoise blue t-shirt, had a thick moustache and short curly hair, approx 5'8", mid-30s, and of
Indian descent.

At this moment, second man appeared. He was also in his mid-30s. He was wearing a red
t-shirt, had a crewcut, and was of Malay descent. He grabbed my car keys and demanded for
my parking ticket. I couldn't remember where it was. They shoved me deeper into the car,
and the Indian man got into the back seat with me, while the Malay man got into the
driver's seat, driving us out of the carpark.

I told them they could take everything, just let me go. But at that point they didn't even
ask for money. Instead, the Indian man started to make sexual advances. Then it hit
me. "Oh my God. Oh my God. This is really happening. I'm being kidnapped.. and I think I
know what they want." From this moment on, there were a few crucial things that
happened that I think is the reason I'm alive today.

1. I managed to get into a position to escape.
 When they got into the car, the Indian man had tried to force my body down onto the
floor. I knew that the moment I'm on the floor, there would be no chance of escape. So I begged
him to let me sit up. I promised him I wouldn't scream or alert anyone's attention. Thankfully,
he trusted me, and let me sit up, gripping my arm tightly. Then I told him my arm really
hurt and to please not grip it so hard. He loosened his grip.

2. I did not fight for the sake of fighting.
 I was in an enclosed space, with no clear escape route. I would never win in a fight
with these 2 guys, especially when they have sharp weapons. Had I fought from the
get go, I may not have been in a position to escape. I might've even been knocked out cold,
and God only knows where I would be right now.

3. I was lucky and sneaky.
I knew that the only way to escape, was to jump out of the car, even if it was moving.
They had locked the car doors. So I leaned back, pretended to scratch my hair, and shakily
unlocked the door I was leaning against. I'm so lucky they did not see or hear this!

4. I went 'crazy' at the right time.
And then I waited. I knew that the car would have to slow down outside the parking lot, as
it exits to merge with the main roads. The moment it slowed down, I opened the car door
and tried to make a run for it. I failed. I kicked my legs out of the car, but the Indian man had
managed to pull my body back in.
>From this moment on, everything is a blur. I remember the Malay driver temporarily
stopping the car, leaning over from the driver's seat and attempting to close the door and
pull my legs in. At that point I remember thinking, "Even if I don't get out now, I need to
keep the door open and my legs out the door. At the very least, it should cause a scene, and
someone would see me. Or, the door might hit another car and they'll be forced to slow down."
So I continued kicking. My right foot pushed against the wide-open car door to keep it
open. I recall elbowing, struggling, kicking, and even biting. I lost my glasses, and
was struggling blindly for my life. At some point the Malay driver yelled, "BAGI DIA LEPAS!
BAGI DIA LEPAS!" (Let her go! Let her go!) and the Indian man loosened his grip. I made a jump
out of the still-moving car, and ran for my life.

5. I acted in spite of the fear.
My friends said I was brave. But I didn't feel like it. I was quivering and shaking in fear. I
was so afraid. I thought I was going to die.  I was weak with fear and deathly afraid. I truly
thought "this was it". But I knew I HAD to move. I had to run. Or there would be a
worser fate in store for me. While I was quaking in fear, I forced myself to look around
and see if there was any way I could escape, or even catch someone's eye.

6. I remembered the people I love.
The only thing that matters when you're faced with potentially horrendous fate, is
the people in your life. When I felt the knife to my neck, the first thing I thought was , "This
cannot be happening. I must be dreaming." The second? The people that truly matter to me
flashed across my mind. It sounds cliche, but it's true. I thought of my parents. My
brother. Khailee. Esther. More people. That's all I could think of for a few moments, before I
started brainstorming my escape. I ran towards the Maybank outlet at the Curve. There were
plenty of people milling around.I screamed for help over and over again. I was hysterical. I
grabbed an older Malay man by his shoulders and begged for help before practically collapsing
at his feet. I will always remember the relief and liberation I felt, running over Mutiara
Damansara's manicured grass and into the crowd.

Today, I found out that the entire ordeal from the moment I left the parking ticket payment
machine, to my escape, happened in about 4 minutes. To me, it felt like one long
nightmare. We never think its going to happen to us... and then it does.
I used to think that this is something that happens only in the papers and to people far, far
removed from me. But then it did happen to me. I moved to PJ/KL 6 years ago, and I've
spent countless mornings, afternoons and nights at The Curve. When my friends and I
were organizing Rock Up! Back in 2008, we were walking around the place at 4AM even.

It's been 6 years, and never once did I feel that I was unsafe at The Curve. Until yesterday.
I feel like moving out of the country ASAP. Getting the hell out of this state where you
hear of a kidnapping or attempted one every month (remember Nayati?), or a snatch
theft every week. And yet I'm fully aware of the fact that in another country with more lax
firearm laws, they would've been holding a gun to my head, not a cleaver. And that
would've been so, so much worse. I'm Blessed. By God's grace, I am
alive and relatively well. And I will live another day to build another cat iPhone app. It just
was not my time to go. And for that, I thank God.

I want to share this story with everyone because cops tell me that they rarely get to hear it
from someone who escapes. Girls, be so very careful. Be vigilant, and please try not to
go anywhere alone. If you need to walk to the carpark, and you're alone, get a guard to go
with you. I was recently told that it's part of their job description to assist anyone if needed.

Guys, watch out for your girlfriends, wives, mothers, sisters and friends. Walk with
them, don't take their paranoia or fear lightly. Watch out for them. And everyone, just watch out
for each other. Take care of each other. These things really DO happen. As I ran out of the car,
so many people came to help me. Strangers who didn't know who I was, came forward and
offered me tissue paper, water, cellphones, and general comfort. Malaysians, please care for one
another. You already do. Just keep on caring. Keep watching out for each other. Don't worry
about being thought of as "busy body" or "overreacting". The world can be a cruel place, but
all it takes is for people to care for one another to make all the difference.

Smlm dekat dgn kawasan perumahan aku ade pasar malam..( ade yg panggil pasar lambak ). Aku dgn housemate aku gigih nak pergi pasar nak beli brg dapur (mcm mak-mak kennn…) . Lately rajin nk masak utk dinner. Sbnrnye kalau slalu masak, jimat tau. Tak caye sudah.. hehe.

Slalunye memang aku yg akan jd driver la if nk gi pasar ni. Sbb housemate aku tu penakut skit bawak kete, lagi2 kat tempat yg mencabar , byk kete ni.  ^_^ Tapi parking mmg susah la nak dpt. Lagi pukul 6- 8pm. Mmg waktu peak org gi pasar kan..( utk org2 yg keje mcm aku ni la..org lain aku taktau). Dah dpt parking, trus excited lari-lari anak gi psr. Tp dlm otak ni sibuk  fikir nak beli ape. Bape byk. Hehe.Jalan-jalan seround dulu then baru decide nak beli ape..Dpt ler beli sayur,bawang,lada,kentang,telur (x igt beli ape lagi..) Yg best kt pasar ni, sayur & buah-buahan die nampak fresh.. tgk sayur2 die geram je…rase nk beli semua.. Mcm dh byk beli tp sbnrnye main lauk (ikan/ayam/daging) tak beli pon sbb tgk yg ade mcm xbape nk selera…hihihih.Decide nak beli kat Pasaraya Sulaiman feberet kami tu..

Masa kitorg tgh beli ikan masin, ade makcik tu siap bagi petua. Asalnye kitorg tnye akak kedai tu, ni ikan ape.. (malu bertanya sesat jalan..) Rupanya ikan yg kitorg amik tu namenye Ikan Kurau…Ni lebih kurang la yg kitorg borak ngan makcik tu..

Aku : Kak, ni ikan masin ape?
(akak tu tak jwab lagi, acik ni dh tlg jwb)
Acik : Oh, ni ikan kurau.. Sedap kalau goreng, satu taman boleh bau…
Aku : oooo..
Acik : Kalau mkn ni dgn bubur kosong pon sedap.
Aku : Iye? Sdpnye… (motif?)
Acik : Tapi kalau org bersalin tak boleh makan. Nanti hanyir.
Aku : Erk….oooo (teringat kat sorg budak tu..senyum nakal..)
Acik : Tapi kalau nak jugak, kene titik kan black pepper.

Aku & housemate , angguk2 dan senyum je… pastu trus bayar & blah sbb taktau nak respon ape… =p Sbnrnye nak je tnye, nak titik cmne…tp segan. =p

1 Rejab

+Assalamualaikum+

+Hye+

 

Hari 1 Rejab…


Beberapa hadis Rasulullah saw menunjukkan kelebihan bulan rejab:
1. Hendaklah kamu memuliakan bulan Rejab, nescaya Allah memuliakan kamu dengan seribu kemuliaan di hari Qiamat.
2. Bulan Rejab bulan Allah, bulan Sya'ban bulanku, dan bulan Ramadhan bulan umatku.
3. Kemuliaan Rejab dengan malam Isra' Mi'rajnya, Sya'ban dengan malam nisfunya, dan Ramadhan dengan Lailatul-Qadarnya.
4. Puasa sehari dalam bulan Rejab mendapat syurga yang tertinggi (Firdaus). Puasa dua hari dilipatgandakan pahalanya.
5. Puasa 3 hari pada bulan Rejab, dijadikan parit yang panjang yang menghalangnya ke neraka (panjangnya setahun perjalanan).
6. Puasa 7 hari pada bulan Rejab, ditutup daripadanya 7 pintu neraka.
7. Puasa 16 hari pada bulan Rejab akan dapat melihat wajah Allah di dalam syurga, dan menjadi orang yang pertama menziarahi Allah dalam syurga.
8. Kelebihan bulan Rejab dari segala bulan ialah seperti kelebihan Al-Quran ke atas semua kalam (perkataan).
9. Puasa sehari dalam bulan Rejab seumpama puasa empat puluh tahun dan diberi minum air dari syurga.
10. Bulan Rejab Syahrullah (bulan Allah), diampunkan dosa orang-orang yang meminta ampun dan bertaubat kepada-Nya.

Puasa dalam bulan Rejab, wajib bagi yang berpuasa itu:
a. Diampunkan dosa-dosanya yang lalu.
b. Dipelihara Allah umurnya yang tinggal.
c. Terlepas daripada dahaga di akhirat.

11. Puasa pada awal Rejab, pertengahannya dan pada akhirnya, seperti puasa sebulan pahalanya.
12. Siapa bersedekah dalam bulan Rejab, seperti bersedekah seribu dinar, dituliskan kepadanya pada setiap helai bulu roma jasadnya seribu kebajikan, diangkat seribu darjah, dihapus seribu kejahatan.
