Thanksgiving Break....

It was a great thanksgiving break. I must say, that was one of the best event MASA ever held for Hari Raya. Being apart of Kampung Teluk Teroy just makes me so proud. awwww. Very creative and interesting, especially with the iklan of all scholars, and the utusan raya to students from family kat mesia. I probably make a really bad host, but i still had a great time doing it.

Alexander The Great... or is he?

So, in celebrating Jebat's bday, we went to see the up and coming movie Alexander the Great. Being taught about Iskandar Zulkarnain, it kinda sparked me to learn about him more through the movies. but the first thought of seeing Collin Farrell acting as him has already put me off a little... until i saw the movie. I must say i love the first war scene of the movie, where it was a war in a desert. i've never seen an archaic movie where the war scene is in a desert. so to me it was pretty cool. but then the movie starts to get draggy, bored and here's why i think they casted collin farrell as the Great Alexander... if you want to watch the movie, and not know any spoilers of the movie, proceed to the next section.

Alexander the great was gay. he got married to rosario dawson, i dont know what her name was in the movie, but she has really huge pengetuk pintu. perrgh. that was the ONLY real action. and it wasnt even actual action. the rest was half naked gay looking men hugging, kissing, dancing around alexander. at one point i really couldnt take it, and i thought i was the only one. but as i looked back, a lot of young men like me turned to each other and said "What the fuck are you making me watch man??" The movie was actually like you're looking at a pentomime with a loooot of voice over of someone telling the story and you listening to it. I'd say it sucked. okay, but still... kinda sucked. to me... if you want to watch it, go ahead. it's probably worth your money, but you'd feel like stabbing your eyes with a fork... unless you're a stupidly disgusting fag.

So, kerana ke "tidak puas hati" an aku, i went back to check on the real facts of Iskandar Zulkarnain, the one who was mentioned in the Quran. Well actually i didnt check the facts immediately. the thing just haunted me a few days, then i called my mom and brought up the topic and mention that last year she watched jejak rasul and it is said that Iskandar Zulkarnain is NOT Alexander the Great. So after the long talk with my mom, then i went on google, and checked it out. there are actually disputes of deciding who was actually Iskandar Dhol Qarnayn. Some say he is actually Darius the Great, some say he is actually Cyrus the Great, some people still believe that Alexander the Great is him. Some ppl who read about him stated that (forgive me if im wrong, i probably got it the wrong way), Alexander the Great Travelled East then West back to India, while Iskandar travelled West then East. I dont know if he stopped by India though. Also, there was not much writing about Alexander the great trapping Yajuj Majuj. actually i didnt stumbled upon it myself. but i think it was either Cyrus, or Darius the Great, had a story about trapping the Yajuj Majuj, or in the bible also known as Gog Magog. I went through it couple of days, being restless after watching the movie, because it is completely opposite of what i've learned, only to come up with one conclusion for myself. Alexander is Alexander, Iskandar is a different guy. The history may not go into much about Iskandar, but knowing that it is in the Quran, and he was a pious person, was already sufficient enough. I wouldnt want to say who is actually Iskandar, for I dont know, only He knows, so from spreading wrong teachings, might as well i just stick to the Quran.

Please is anyone knows about this, dont hesitate to tell me, because i would love to learn more about Iskandar and the real facts of him.


Amazing Race, MASA style....

next day after the Raya celebration ( i refused to call it eid celebration unless a non malaysian who does not know BM comes in and saya eid mubarak to me) We had the Eksplorasi Masa. It was raining, and everyone was struggling carrying water in their mouths, by then i found that Taroi and Elle has really big mouths, and Abe has a small one, (i dont know which is better though), then they had to struggle running up the hill in the HEAVY rain, with lightning and thunder coming down every minute. and i thought driving was hard. but i wished i was running with them. i love heavy rain. makes you feel like you're in war. then there was acting, i think next time if this acting thing is applied, there should be more booths so people dont have to wait too long. by this time it is a sure win for the top three who completed it first, coz some people just take too long to practice. not saying that they are incompetent, but the rain, the chill, and the running just took the energy out of them, and the probably need time to rejuvenate. but at least we know now. then there was the makan nasi satu pot. how i wish i could see people struggled. hahaha. that was the only part i really really wanted to see. the last obstacle was shooting basketball in a hoop 5 times, or swinging a hockey ball into a net.

in the end, congratulations to the top three teams.

Thanksgiving Dinner....

tahun nih, i made dua ketul ayam turkey. well i didnt do it alone, and both of the kosher turkey was provided by the three pretty girls of 81 albright. i must say the two turkeys were nice golden, and a success. i only had on plate of it though. have no idea why. later that nite amin brought his karaoke up from philly. i cant really sing, but i had fun though.

in the end....

it was a great holiday, although waking up really early every morning during holiday is really depressing, but it was a late weekend though so that's pretty cool. now its back to school, had my great capoeira last nite (my escape), and all in all... just would want to wish have a great break to everyone.....
