Nuzul Quran

NUZUL AL-QURAN or the commemoration of the revelation of the Holy Quran falls on the 17th of Ramadhan and is one of the highlights of the holy month of Islam. Nuzul which roughly translates into the transfer or revelation refers to the revelation of the first verses of the Holy Quran to Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) on the 17th of Ramadhan.



In conjunction with this special day, Kelab Kesenian Islam KPTM Kuantan organized; Hari Kesenian Islam dan Jamuan Berbuka Puasa.



Ustaz Nawi Deraman is the speaker for 'Ceramah Nuzul Quran'. About 20 students attended this 'ceramah' and breaking of fast. Where were the rest of the students?? This is so typical for most of the students. This kind of event would not be their top priority unless the word compulsory and fine stated in the notice.

English 101 : How English Works

Looking for good English Grammar reference book? Let me suggest you to buy this book. Written by Michael Swan and Catherine Walter, published by Oxford University Press. The price? Well... I bought this book way back in 2003, maybe it was about RM50.

Muslim Socks (Kaos Kaki Wudhu)

I found this ad while updating my FB...





"NOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO REMOVE YOUR SOCKS WHENTAKING THE ABLUTION
(WUDHU)!"

Malaysia : RM14.00

According to the ad:

The MuslimahSocks has a special opening under the toes. When taking your ablution (wudhu),
you just need to pull the socks up (without removing it). Once you are done with the ablution (wudhu), simply rolls the socks down to cover back you toes and it's all done!

My question is....

Is it necessary? Why dont you just take it off?? How lazy can you be? Hmmm...

p/s: The foot looks a little scary.. sort of lifeless...what do you think???

*** Kaos - Indonesian for socks.

Filler Entry: Cocoa Lover

Another yummyy filler entry...hahaa..



I know... I know...you are now mad at me for posting these photos... haha...

A closer look at Cocoa Lover ice-blended....

Something to share....

Latest study suggests cocoa may be richer in antioxidants than better known "healthy" drinks like tea and red wine.

Researchers at Cornell University have shown that the popular winter beverage contains more antioxidants per cup and points to a tasty alternative in the quest to maintain a diet rich in healthy antioxidants, chemicals that have been shown to fight cancer, heart disease and aging.

English 101: Spot The Error

This entry is by no means to hurt anyone's feelings.

It's merely for the purpose of improving our English.

This entry is specially dedicated to all my students....

Can you spot the error??

It has been bugging me for quite sometimes looking/reading at these kinds of notices been pasted on the wall around the college....

AGM actually stands for Annual General Meeting.

Not Grand.

Let's improve our English ayyy...

Be Careful or Carefull??

This entry is an excerpt from The Star - Mind Our English

THIS photo was taken at one of the cages at Wild Life Park in Langkawi, Kedah.

The word “careful” has been spelt wrongly with an extra ‘l’. In fact, this notice with the wrong spelling was displayed at most of the cages.

For the sake of the park and the fact that it is one of the many tourist attraction places in Langkawi, let us hope the people concerned will rectify the mistake and learn from it.

Two Birthdays

I'm at my parents' home at the moment.. been back here since Saturday. Earlier tonight the family celebrated my counsins' birthday.

'Alyaa' 's cake - simple sponge cake

Aida's - Oreo Cheese Cake

Happy Birthday to Aida - 31/08/08. She was born 11 years ago in Bangkok while her father was working there at the Malaysian Embassy. Her ambition is to be a top model! She wore a crown n a nice gown for this party! She loves to pose like models in middle of a photo shoot (even there's no camera around)

The two cakes are gifts from Kak Long Anisz, Pudding from Su (our Aunty), Satay from Cikna (my aunty, mummy of aida n 'alyaa') and my mom made Fried Mee... yummmyyy...

Also to 'Alyaa'...

Happy Belated 9th Birthday to 'Alyaa' (yess that's her correct spelling with apostrophe). She's very good in English, I monitored her homework the other day, she managed to give all correct answers! Well done 'Alyaa'!

On other note...

Happy Celebrating 51st Merdaka Day!

English 101 : Q & A

Is this correct: “Me and my friends ...”

“Me and my friends” can be used informally, but in formal speech or writing, you should say/write “My friends and I” if the phrase is the subject of a sentence, and “my friends and me” if it is the object of a sentence. You could, for example, say the following to your class teacher:
“My friends and I would like your permission to leave the class for a while.”

“Please excuse my friends and me for being late this morning. Our school bus broke down.”
In formal English, you always put yourself last when referring to yourself and another person or other people. For example, we say “my sister, my brother and I/me”, “my parents and I/me”, etc.
