Back on saddle



Been a while I spent a good MTB ride.  FRIM is good but lack of distance.  RRI is just nice for me, a little more distance (26km) and a roller coaster to enjoy not forgetting the fall I had during this ride (pix below).. and those other falls: -
1. First endo (2007)
2. Elbow punched my ribs (2008)
3. Scuffed my ankle (2010)

From RRI on BASH route

It was a nice ride, lead by Jazlany.  We already talking about doing the Ulu Gombak Traverse in near future.

Merokok itu hukumnya haram

Semalam, waktu menikmati makan malam, Haziq bertanya pada Ayah.
"Ayah. Ayah hisap rokok lagi ke?"

Ayah: "Tak. Ayah sudah berhenti. Merokok itu hukumnya haram"
Haziq: "Tapi.. Tok tu hisap rokok"

Ayah: "Tak kiralah siapapun yang hisap rokok, Ayah ke, Pak Lang ke, Pak Long ke, Ucu ke, Cikgu ke hukumnya tetap haram. Perbuatan haram kalau kita buat jadi berdosa"
Haziq: "Ohh"

Petikan dari Zaharuddin.net
Justeru, pada hemat dan kajian saya, hukum yang lebih tepat adalah Haram merokok kerana mudarat yang pelbagai dari sudut kesihatan tubuh sendiri, orang lain, dan baunya yang mengganggu orang lain. Malah kaedah Islam menyebut : "Ad-Darar Yudfa' Bi Qadaril Imkan" ; ertinya : "Kemudaratan hendaklah ditolak sedaya upaya dan kemampuan" (Al-Madkhal Al-Fiqhil ‘Am, Syeikh Mustafa Az-Zarqa, 2/992)

Car Audio that works for me

The original audio set that came with the car was with MP3 decoder.  It plays MP3 files on CD until one fine day, the CD stuck and refuse to come out.  I was longing for headunit that takes flash drive over USB but the price wasn't within my budget.  Alternatively, I looked for headunit that has Auxiliary input (this input takes typical 3.5mm audio jack) and I found 1 dirt cheap model by Sony.

Sony CDX-GT180 (see here


Cost me RM188 plus another RM20 for installation.  With this Auxiliary input, I can hook-up my phone and play MP3 files with the sound routed to the car audio system.  Shall voice call comes in, I can answer the phone and talk normally, handsfree!  Once the voice call ends, the MP3 will resume.  Even GPS navigation from Nokia E63 (with external Bluetooth GPS receiver) can be heard loud and clear.
