Okay. Be calm. 

I don't know how to react to this news. 

Thursday morning, rumors surfaced that Lewis is going to Ferrari in 2025. (He still has contract with Mercedes in 2025). Nah, that's not gonna happen. Lewis said many many times about loyalty and i always imagined him retiring with his team. 

But, the rumors seemed so strong, not baseless, many authorized news reporting and they dont usually post rumors. Hmm. Reporters were at Brackley that morning and there was an emergency employees meeting with Toto and James Allison and Toto himself through a video call (meaning the meeting was urgently planned). 

Huh, 'twas nerve-wrecking and i personally dont wanna believe this. Please no, Lewis. 

At the same time, (still no official from both sides) - SkyNews F1 already broadcasted a special live discussing this and they won't do it if it is not true. 

Haha i supposed all of us were refreshing X to get news or any announcements - then at midnight (MY time), there came the official announcement from Mercedes AMG followed by Ferrari :0

Official from Mercedes account.

Official from Scuderia Ferrari account.

Yeah. It took some time to process this shocking information..

Some snapshots on this chaos..

---




Peter Bonnington (Bono) is Lewis' race engineer from the day he started at Mercedes and the question now is whether Bono will move with Lewis (we all hoped he will pls Bono)

First lesson is I just know the Ferrari HQ is in Maranello, Italy haha

Statement from the man himself two days later..

Engagements on the internet following the news..

The achievements so far from the GOAT of Formula 1

That's all. Bye. 

Now waiting for the livery reveal on the 14th and first race of the season, Bahrain GP

Today is Day 5 of RMO. And the first day of Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM) assisting PDRM to enforce this order in the effort to eradicate the transmission. 

18th - 31st March 2020, the period of RMO.

I arrived home on the 16th and the announcement was made by PM at 10 p.m the same night. He's giving a day - 17th for people to get ready and arrange Work from Home (WFH). The order means school will be closed for another week and all employees are also restricted for work except those dealing with essential services. 

17th March
Mom was getting ready from early in the morning, buying all essential items for home - mostly basic necessities. What makes it worse was people are all in panic and thus panic buying which cause a shortage of supplies when people tend to hoard items. 

18th March
I went to Supermas and bought extra food for us all - a family of seven. You know, when we are all restricted to go outside and have to stay at home quietly, what is left for us to do other than talking and eating hihi. Some biscuits, nuggets and fries will do. Alhamdulillah. Actually, all the supplies are there like normal but when people around are panicking, somehow we will be affected. 

Today is 22nd of March.

I bought return tickets when i came home for school hols including this one. Thanks to Allah i dont need to buy a new one, just have to pay extra RM5 to change the date which i do not confirm yet. 

I have four bundles of exam papers in Gombak which i didnt bring home at all hehe.

Sadly enough, i only brought home two books - Harry Potter No 1 & Travelog Emas. Of course, i have a shelf full of other books at home too but i want to read new books. I meant to go to Popular KB Mall to buy the last book of HP - the Deathly Hallows but it is closed, like all the other shops. 

So, i am trying to write every two days maybe. This fortnight is teaching us a bunch of lessons and it depends on us to be wise enough to crack them up

Today is also the 27th of Rajab - Israk Mikraj. 

The night journey of Prophet Muhammad SAW- consisted of Israk (jouney from Masjidil Haram to Masjidil Aqsa) and Mikraj (journey from Masjidil Aqsa to Sidratul Muntaha) 

Assalamualaikum. I have loads of stories to share but as for now, let's read on the most recent story - Siti Aafiyah.

I need not introduce the baby. Last night, i watched few scenes in the video of the majlis aqiqah and tahnik.

Siti Nurhaliza is quoted saying ,

"What makes her (Siti Aafiyah) special is because of the wait. I prayer for her not every day but not a single minute passed without praying to Allah for this nikmat,  having a baby'

When asked for advice, she said,

"I dont give up, never. Instead, i keep positive and tell myself, Siti, Allah will give you at the right time" 

Datuk K added, 

" I waited longer for a baby girl and after EIGHTEEN years, Allah fulfilled my prayer. When i built this house 18 years ago, i build a room for my girl but it has no occupant until today, Siti Aafiyah "

Masha Allah. Allah's blessing is indeed vast and far beyond our limited knowledge 😊😊

Bismillah.

Assalamualaikum. How are you doing? :)

After few months, at last here I come. Reason being is, I've graduated from IIUM, hence no free-WiFi. Hehe. My subscription data isnt too strong to connect to blogspot.

Some updates from me.

Alhamdulillah.
Alhamdulillah.
Alhamdulillah.

I graduated for my second degree last June and attended my convocation just a fortnight ago.

Currently staying in Gombak, doing some freelance jobs here and there.

Till then. Wassalam :)

GST: Goods & Services Tax
SST: Sales and Services Tax

GST falls under consumption tax. It means you will be taxed due to your consumption (items bought and services used)

My personal thoughts on GST

1. Its a new burden unwillingly shouldered by all
- GST operates on a negative concept. All items are taxed unless specifically exempted.
- SST operates on a positive concept. Only prescribed items are taxed.
- GST regime operates on a wider basis

2. It is quite impossible for government to withdraw it once it has been implemented.
- Government has incurred lots of money for explaining GST to public
- Even affected companies also have to bear some cost to install the new tax in their system.
- It has been years of research and debate before it was implemented starting 1st April 2015. 
- Nevertheless, I opine that it may be implemented but NOT NOW.

3. Increases government's revenue
- Undoubtedly, this will happen.
- Also, the implementation of GST also hoped to reduce the government's deficit which is in a crucial state.

4. Fund management
- As public we are okay if the government's fund is well managed and used for beneficial and public welfare purposes.
- The thing that drives our anger is when public fund is not managed prudently plus some more controversial issues that I may not mention here.

5. I would say that even if in the next general election, the government changed, GST will still be there. However, there are many rooms for improvement like the fund management and spending habit of the government. So, in the first place you know what to do right? :)

This is rather out of topic. But, I would say that our people is very afraid to changes as if only one party can govern Malaysia forever.

6. I did asked academician and practitioner and people around and they responded the same. GST is not good, at least for now. 

7. So, what about so many campaigns and gatherings by the NGOs and student movement to object GST? Will it affect government's plan? I think that it will just stay the same. But, it will surely open the eyes of the public on what actually the government are doing. And I hope they will take action in the next GE. In sha Allah.

8. It's not just about politics. If you think so, you better re-think. 

Alhamdulillah. That's it for now. 

May Allah bless us with deen and knowledge :)

Bismillah.

Today, 26th December 2014 marked a decade of Tsunami in Acheh.
And right now, we are facing a huge flood in Kelantan, Bumi Serambi Makkah and the neighboring states.

This year, there is no such thing that this places have never been flooded before, as I could say most of the places are affected. My home sweet home too.

Among the most affected places are Kuala Krai and Rantau Panjang.

MRSM Kuala Krai

This has been the worst flood in my state. Water is everywhere and this has not been a usual one because even two storey building sank.

:'(

It has been a hard time when the evacuation centre was flooded too. And it is more disheartening when aids cannot be sent because there is no way to the place except by the airways.

O Allah, forgive our sins :(

We prayed to Allah to to grant us patience in dealing with this musibah. Indeed, this is a test from Allah SWT.
Allahuma ajjirni fi musibati,
Wakhlufni khairan minha.
Amin.

Assalamualaikum w.b.t

Alhamdulillah. All thanks are due to Him.
Ramadhan and Syawal has just left us. Masha Allah, how time flies.

In the midst of Ramadhan, the whole world was shocked with the incident of a Malaysian airplane MH17 that was shot down near Kiev, Ukraine which involved nearly 300 passengers including the crews.

The world watched sympathetically to Malaysia especially after the tragedy of MH370 which mystery is yet to be solved. The diplomatic way of the Prime Minister in dealing with this matter was praised by all. After a long wait, the corpses of the victims of MH17 was sent back to our homeland on 22nd August 2014(Friday) which involved 20 victims. The rest are yet to be recognized.

On that day, a special ceremonial occasion was held in Kompleks Bunga Raya, KLIA in which all the coffins containing the corpses of the victims who just arrived from Ukraine were sent to their hometowns as per families' requests. There was a minute of silence whereby people meditate according to their religion as the last tribute to all victims of MH17. Al fatihah.

In accordance to this, I would like to share a poem in Bahasa(author : unknown) which is a tribute to all victims of MH17.

Duhai saudara saudariku mangsa MH17 

Apakah rahsiamu dengan Tuhanmu? 

Sehingga  kami semua tersibukkan dengan ehwalmu 

Duhai saudara saudariku mangsa MH17 

Apakah amal kebaikanmu yang tinggi melangit 

Hingga ribuan manusia hadir solat jenazahmu 

Seluruh rakyat Malaysia mendoakanmu 

Dan satu Malaysia bergema dengan alunan al-Quran keranamu 

Duhai saudara saudariku mangsa MH17 

Sungguh aku cemburu pada kalian

Hamba terpilih Tuhan.
 

May Allah guide us to the right way and May Allah make us the people of jannah.
Amin.
