the moral of sleeping beauty story....

Many a girl has waited long
For a husband brave or strong;
But I'm sure I never met
Any sort of woman yet
Who could wait a hundred years,
Free from fretting, free from fears.
Now, our story seems to show
That a century or so,
Late or early, matters not;
True love comes by fairy-lot.
Some old folk will even say
It grows better by delay.
Yet this good advice, I fear,
Helps us neither there nor here.
Though philosophers may prate
How much wiser 'tis to wait,
Maids will be a sighing still --
Young blood must when young blood will!

Sleeping Beauty

Once upon a time there was a Queen who had a beautiful baby daughter. She asked all the fairies in the kingdom to the christening, but unfortunately forgot to invite one of them, who was a bit of a witch as well. She came anyway, but as she passed the baby's cradle, she said:"When you are sixteen, you will injure yourself with a spindle and die!"
"Oh, no!" screamed the Queen in horror. A good fairy quickly chanted a magic spell to change the curse. When she hurt herself, the girl would fall into a very deep sleep instead of dying.
The years went by, the little Princess grew and became the most beautiful girl in the whole kingdom. Her mother was always very careful to keep her away from spindles, but the Princess, on her sixteenth birthday, as she wandered through the castle, came into a room where an old servant was spinning.
"What are you doing?" she asked the servant.
"I'm spinning. Haven't you seen a spindle before?"
"No. Let me see it!" The servant handed the girl the spindle ... and she pricked herself with it and. with a sigh, dropped to the floor.
The terrified old woman hurried to tell the Queen. Beside herself with anguish, the Queen did her best to awaken her daughter but in vain. The court doctors and wizards were called, but there was nothing they could do. The girl could not be wakened from her deep sleep. The good fairy who managed to avoid the worst of the curse came too, and the Queen said to her,
"When will my daughter waken?"
"I don't know," the fairy admitted sadly.
"In a year's time, ten years or twenty?" the Queen went on.
"Maybe in a hundred years' time. Who knows?" said the fairy.
"Oh! What would make her waken?" asked the Queen weeplng.
"Love," replied the fairy. "If a man of pure heart were to fall in love with her, that would bring her back to life!"
"How can a man fall in love with a sleeping girl?" sobbed the Queen, and so heart-broken was she that, a few days later, she died. The sleeping Princess was taken to her room and laid on the bed surrounded by garlands of flowers. She was so beautiful, with a sweet face, not like those of the dead, but pink like those who are sleeping peacefully. The good fairy said to herself,
"When she wakens, who is she going to see around her? Strange faces and people she doesn't know? I can never let that happen. It would be too painful for this unfortunate girl."
So the fairy cast a spell; and everyone that lived in the castle - soldiers, ministers, guards, servants, ladies, pages, cooks, maids and knights - all fell into a deep sleep, wherever they were at that very moment.
"Now," thought the fairy, "when the Princess wakes up, they too will awaken, and life will go on from there." And she left the castle, now wrapped in silence. Not a sound was to be heard, nothing moved except for the clocks, but when they too ran down, they stopped, and time stopped with them. Not even the faintest rustle was to be heard, only the wind whistling round the turrets, not a single voice, only the cry of birds.
The years sped past. In the castle grounds, the trees grew tall. The bushes became thick and straggling, the grass invaded the courtyards and the creepers spread up the walls. In a hundred years, a dense forest grew up.

Now, it so happened that a Prince arrived in these parts. He was the son of a king in a country close by. Young, handsome and melancholy, he sought in solitude everything he could not find in the company of other men: serenity, sincerity and purity. Wandering on his trusty steed he arrived, one day, at the dark forest. Being adventurous, he decided to explore it. He made his way through slowly and with a struggle, for the trees and bushes grew in a thick tangle. A few hours later, now losing heart, he was about to turn his horse and go back when he thought he could see something through the trees . . . He pushed back the branches . . . Wonder of wonders! There in front of him stood a castle with high towers. The young man stood stock still in amazement,
"I wonder who this castle belongs to?" he thought.
The young Prince rode on towards the castle. The drawbridge was down and, holding his horse by the reins, he crossed over it. Immediately he saw the inhabitants draped all over the steps, the halls and courtyards, and said to himself,
"Good heavens! They're dead!" But in a moment, he realised that they were sound asleep. "Wake up! Wake up!" he shouted, but nobody moved. Still thoroughly astonished, he went into the castle and again discovered more people, lying fast asleep on the floor. As though led by a hand in the complete silence, the Prince finally reached the room where the beautiful Princess lay fast asleep. For a long time he stood gazing at her face, so full of serenity, so peaceful, lovely and pure, and he felt spring to his heart that love he had always been searching for and never found. Overcome by emotion, he went close, lifted the girl's little white hand and gently kissed it . . .
At that kiss, the prlncess qulckly opened her eyes, and wakening from her long long sleep, seeing the Prince beside her, murmured:
"Oh, you have come at last! I was waiting for you in my dream. I've waited so long!"
Just then, the spell was broken. The Princess rose to her feet, holding out her hand to the Prince. And the whole castle woke up too. Everybody rose to their feet and they all stared round in amazement, wondering what had happened. When they finally realised, they rushed to the Princess, more beautiful and happier then ever.
A few days later, the castle that only a short time before had lain in silence, now rang with the sound of singing, music and happy laughter at the great party given in honour of the Prince and Princess, who were getting married. They lived happily ever after, as they always do in fairy tales, not quite so often, however, in real life.

Benar atau Rekaan??!!..............




SIAPA DI SEBALIK FACEBOOK???



Saya ingin mengajak anda semua berkenalan dengan Zuckerberg secara personal. Mark Zuckerberg dilahirkan dan dibesarkan di Dobbs Ferry, Westchester Country, New York sebagai anak bangsa Yahudi yang berhijrah ke Amerika selepas peristiwa penyembelihan bangsa tersebut oleh Nazi Jerman seperti yang pernah dicatatkan dalam sejarah moden.Orang tuanya bernama Edward dan Karen Zuckerberg. Bapanya merupakan seorang doktor gigi sementara ibunya pula seorang pakar perubatan. Umum mengetahui Zuckerberg seorang yang genius komputer sejak kecil lagi. Pada usia lapan tahun beliau sudah mampu menghasilkan permainan komputer yang dinamakan Risk dan juga permainan muzik, Synapse.

 Sejarah terciptanya Facebook sememangnya unik. Pada 4 Februari 2004, ia telah dilancarkan oleh Zuckerberg dari bilik asramanya sewaktu beliau masih bergelar mahasiswa di Universiti Harvard. Pada waktu itu, Facebook hanyalah bertujuan untuk memudahkan para pelajarHarvard berhubung sesama sendiri. Namun siapa sangka, ia akhirnya diterima dengan baik dan mendapat permintaan supaya dikembangkan hingga ke universiti-universiti lain di sekitarnya. Facebook terus menerima keahlian baru dan semakin berkembang pesat dari masa ke masa sekali gus melonjakkan nama Zuckerberg. Sewaktu di Harvard, Zukerberg juga terkenal kerana pernah menggodam sistem web universiti untuk mendapatkan data peribadi para pelajar lain.
  
. Kenapa kita perlu berhati-hati dengan Facebook dan lelaki bernama Mark Zuckerberg ini? Inilah poin saya yang sebenar dalam artikel ini. Biar saya mulakan dengan menceritakan secara lebih rinci tentang identiti sebenar lelaki ini. Mark Zuckerberg juga sama seperti mahasiswa lain yang menuntut di universiti, bahkan sama seperti kita di USM. Beliau seorang yang aktif. Salah satu pertubuhan peringkat mahasiswa atau universiti yang beliau sertai sewaktu di Harvard ialah AEPi atau Alpha Epilson Pi. Dan hari ini Mark Zuckerberg adalah salah seorang alumni yang aktif dan giat menyokong segala gerakan persatuan tersebut. Tahukah kita apakah AEPi dan apakah kaitannya dengan Facebook serta Yahudi? Teruskanlah membaca jika anda belum tahu, dan teruskan juga membaca walaupun anda sudah tahu.

 Alpha Epilson Pi merupakan sebuah pertubuhan persaudaraan Mahasiswa Yahudi yang kuat pengaruhnya di AmerikaSyarikat dan Kanada, dan semakin berkembang ke negara-negara lain. Hubungkaitnya dengan Israel khususnya dan Yahudi amnya bermula apabila ia dikatakan sebagai pertubuhan persaudaraan Israel pertama dan yang satu-satunya ditubuhkan sehingga hari ini. Ia membuka keahlian kepada seluruh pelajar universiti berbangsa Yahudi di AS. Menurut Norimanah Seman yang menulis artikel tentang Facebook dalam Al-Islam keluaran September 2009, asas utama pertubuhan ini adalah untuk membina semangat kepimpinan dalam kalangan mahasiswa Yahudi sekaligus menjadi pelapis kepada kepimpinan bangsa itu pada masa hadapan yang benar-benar memahamai idea, nilai dan etika Yahudi secara totok.

 AEPi sama juga seperti gerakan-gerakan keyahudian yang lain yang bertujuan memupuk nilai persaudaraan dalam kalangan bangsa tersebut. Pun begitu, harus diingat, kebanyakan gerakan tersebut mempunyai pelbagai agenda tersembunyi dan sering mendukung idea-idea dan falsafah serta matlamat Freemason. Tidak ramai juga yang tahu bagaimanakah gerakan-gerakan ini menyulam jarum halus ke dalam dunia global, dan ramai sekali yang tidak tahu gerakan Freemason mempunyai sembilan teras atau falsafah utama yang sangat-sangat berbahaya terhadap dunia Islam amnya.

 Secara sepintas lalu, AEPi diasaskan untuk membantu lelaki-lelaki Yahudi mencari pasangan Yahudinya. Pada masa yang sama, ia juga bertujuan mengekalkan idealisme Yahudi supaya sentiasa terpelihara. Hubungan secara langsung AEPi dengan Israel pula terjalin melalui Ikatan Inisiatif Israel. Namun begitu, ada satu lagi perkara yang harus kita tahu iaitu gerakan persaudaraan ini sebenarnya turut mempunyai hubungan yang cukup akrab dengan kebanyakan pertubuhan Yahudi Zionis global seperti AIPAC, Hillel, Israel on Campus Coalition, Aish Ha Torah, Chabad on Campus, Hasbara Fellowships, B’inai Brith International, Shaare Zedek, Chai Lifeline, Holocaust Museum, dan Gift of Life.

 Jika hubung kait ini belum cukup kuat untuk anda memahami perkaitan antara Zuckerberg dan Facebook dengan Yahudi/Zionis dan Israel, ayuh baca kutipan fakta berikut yang saya petik daripada Al-Islam. Sewaktu perang antara Israel dan Palestin yang hebat berlaku baru-baru ini, seorang wartawan Yahudi terkemuka telah memanfaatkan sepenuhnya laman Facebook miliknya untuk membakar semangat tentera Israel. Joel Layden, pemilik Israel News Agency telah mencipta akaun Facebooknya sendiri tiga jam selepas serangan tentera Israel ke atas Gaza dilakukan. Laman Facebooknya itu kemudian terus memuncak dan menjadi medan menghambur segala kata semangat dan perangsang untuk tentera-tentera Zionis oleh para pengunjung.

 Pada 30 Disember tahun lalu kenalan Joel Layden telah mencapai angka 17000 orang. Bagaimanakah Layden memanfaatkan ruang Facebooknya? Jika anda mempunyai akaun sendiri, anda bolehlah mengunjungi laman Layden untuk mengetahui secara lebih dekat strategi yang beliau gunakan. Layden mengambil peluang mempengaruhi dunia bahawa Israel mempertahankan negaranya dari serangan pengganas Muslim di semenanjung Gaza. Malah, Layden juga telah memuatkan video You Tube bagi memberikan penerangan yang lebih halus kenapa Israel wajar dan perlu melancarkan serangan peluru dan roket serta menceroboh wilayah Gaza. Layden bahkan turut mengemukakan hujah kenapa penduduk Gaza mesti dibunuh kerana dilabelkan sebagai pengganas.

 Pada masa yang sama, Zuckerberg dan team pengurusannya telah menutup akaun-akaun yang didapati boleh menimbulkan ancaman terhadap dunia Barat khususnya Israel dan Yahudi serta Amerika Syarikat sendiri. Adakah ini sesuatu yang adil dalam konteks hubungan sosial global? Mari kita lihat situasi berikut. Tujuan saya hanya satu iaitu untuk mengajak anda semua membuat pertimbangan yang seadilnya dan bukannya meminta anda memboikot. Segalanya terpulang pada pertimbangan anda. Di Indonesia, dua buah laman sosial kendalian Facebook milik pejuang jihad siber telah dipadam kerana kelantangan mereka memperjuangkan kebenaran dan keadilan sejagat. Kedua-dua akaun tersebut iaitu milik Kumpulan Cyber Jihad dan Arrahmah dikatakan mempunyai kenalan terbanyak di Indonesia sebelum ditutup oleh pengurusan Facebook.

 Sekali lagi, adakah ini sesuatu yang adil? Ketika akses kepada Facebook milik Joel Layden dibiarkan menyebarkan spora pemikiran ganas Zionis Israel ke seluruh dunia, suara-suara pengimbang dari pihak yang tertindas iaitu pejuang-pejuang Islam sebaliknya segera disekat kononnya untuk mengelakkan ancaman keganasan global. Sedangkan kedua-dua belah pihak mempunyai tujuan yang sama iaitu untuk membakar semangant juang masing-masing. Inilah yang harus kita fikirkan bersama. Minda kita harus kritis dan tidak boleh memandang hanya kepada nilai-nilai keseronokan sahaja.

 Dan akhir sekali saya ingin menyentuh tentang bagaimana Facebook menjana keuntungan yang begitu tinggi sehingga mampu menarik jumlah pelaburan yang besar. Dalam hal ini, Norimanah Seman telah memetik sumber daripada laman blog Rizki Yudhistira, seorang pakar IT, yang menyatakan bahawa pendapatan utama Facebook adalah daripada iklan-iklan yang banyak dipaparkan di laman sosial tersebut. Antara sistem pengiklanan yang biasa digunakan termasuklah CPC atau ‘cost perclick’. Sistem ini adalah contoh mudah bagaimana untung yang besar dan segera mampu dikumpul di mana dengan hanya sekali klik pada satu iklan yang dipaparkan pihak pengurusan Facebook sudah berupaya memperoleh $0.50. Jadi bayangkanlah jika terdapat 1000 orang yang klik pada iklan-iklan yang dipaparkan setiap hari. Jumlah pembeli tapak iklan pula bukannya sedikit, malah pelbagai jenis iklan kecil dan besar disewakan di laman sosial ini.

Akhirul kalam, marilah kita sama-sama merenungi hal ini.Tidak dinafikan mempunyai kenalan yang ramai dari serata pelosok dunia adalah sesuatu yang menyeronokkan tapi kita juga harus berhati-hati kerana musuh-musuh Islam tidak pernah duduk diam. Mereka sentiasa berusaha meracuni budaya dan pemikiran kita. Akibatnya, Islam akan dengan sendiri menjauhi para penganutnya sekali gus memudahkan pihak musuh menyerang kita. Maka, ayuh ambillah tanggung jawab ini untuk sama-sama menyedarkan diri kita sendiri dan rakan-rakan supaya berwaspada dengan serangan-serangan halus musuh-musuh global kita yang semakin rancak dewasa ini. Nauzubulillah.

Sepintas lalu, tahukah anda;

1.                 Facebook telah difatwakan haram oleh Majlis UlamaIndonesia pada Jun 2009  kerana didapatimenjadi penyebab kepada perlakuan tidak senonoh dan seks sebelum nikah dalamkalangan remaja di negara tersebut.

2.                 Sebelum itu, pada 23 Mei 2009, kerajaan Iran telahmenyekat akses Facebook bagi menghalang penyalahgunaannya semasa kempen pilihanraya Presiden. Israel begitu ghairah dan sangat berminat dengan politik Iran.Langkah teknikal ini berjaya membendung wujudnya pengaruh langsung daripadadunia luar khususnya Zionis Israel.

3.                 Bill Gates, pengasas Microsoft dan juga individu keduaterkaya di dunia telah menutup akaun Facebooknya selepas menerima lebih 10,000permintaan kenalan baru. Ia dilakukan tidak lama selepas syarikat gergasitersebut melabur dalam Facebook dengan nilai AS$240 juta iaitu kira-kira 1.6%daripada nilai semasanya.

Cinderella The Real Story

I'm sure you have all heard the story of Cinderella. You know the beautiful girl with the two mean step-sisters, and wicked step-mother. Well you already know the ending, the beautiful girl marries the handsome prince, and they live happily ever after. Well that was the fairy tale, this is the real story.


My name is Oscar and I am a mouse.

I am not related to Mickey, Minnie, or Mighty, (even though there is a small resemblance to that super-hero Mighty mouse). I live in the attic in Cinderella's house. You might say Cindy and I were roommates.When she was small, and her father was alive, we shared a beautiful room downstairs. But after her father died, she was put in the attic. I naturally followed, because I knew she would need my company. And need me she did. At first, she thought of me only as a common ordinary mouse. Night after night she would throw me crumbs. (I thought she was very kind). Then one night, after her step-mother locked the door, she began to cry. I climbed up on Cindy's lap. She talked to me and gave me my name. I thought at the time it was a nerdy name, "Oscar", but I am used to it now. I even kind-of like it.
Everyday I watched Cindy work sooo hard. Finally one day, quite by accident, I found a way to help her. You see, her step-sisters were ordering her around, and they made her cry. Cindy cried a lot. ( I never knew a girl could hold so much water!.) Anyway, I ran to Cindy and they saw me.
Boy, you should have seen them clear the room!. Faster than a speeding bullet-- they almost broke their necks as they ran screaming from the room. You should have heard them! "Eeeek... a Mouse!","Mother!!", "Help!!!". Cindy and I laughed so hard. It was a really good moment.
Then there was the time when I hid on a plate of food that was meant for Cindy's step-mother. When she saw me, first she fainted, thenshe had hysterics for three days!. Three days of peace!, that was really nice!.
The only other person who was not afraid of me was Esmerelda. She was Cindy's fairy God-Mother. We called her Essie for short. She just popped up on the day of the big ball. Poor Cindy had run herself ragged waiting on those step-sisters, trying to do the impossible, and make them.. not beautiful..but just presentable. I mean they were sooo ugly... it wasn't skin deep, it was all the way to the bone!.
Anyway, Cindy was talking to me in the garden, when this strange looking woman walked through the gate. Most people think she magically appeared in a beautiful white light, but she didn't.

She just walked in the yard with a brown Foodtown shopping bag in her hand. I really thought she was here for a hand-out. Cindy must have thought the same thing, because she offered her a glass of milk and some cookies. She didn't look much like a fairy God-mother, either. Her dress was torn, her shoes had holes, and her hair... well, let's just say I've seen a better hair-do on a horse I used to know.

I mean, this fairy God-mother looked like she needed a fairy God-mother.

I was about to say something like "Hit the road", when Essie asked Cindy why she was not preparing to go to the ball. Cindy told her she had no clothes or transportation. Well!, faster than you could say " the rat ate the cheese", the old woman reaches into her bag and pulls out the most beautiful blue ball gown you have ever seen!. It was royal blue, with little white stars, and it was just Cindy's size!. Then, she reached in her bag again and pulled out a white evening bag, a silver crown, and the famous glass slippers. ( I had to turn my head while she provided the unmentionables.) Then she told Cindy to hop to it, and go change her clothes, while she sees what can be done about the transportation. I told her to call a cab, but she said "One does not arrive at a Kings palace in a cab or a rent-a car!".
Anyway, while I'm looking around for something to use, the old girl goes in the bag again, and pulls out a small coach. It was just about my size. She put it on the ground, and darned if the thing didn't begin to grow!. I ran for cover. When the coach finally stopped growing, it was just right for Cindy. The wonders of modern science!
Right then Essie called me, and.. like a dumb-dumb, I came. Before I knew what hit me, I had four hoofs and a tail. Seeing my alarm, Essie assured me it was only temporary. I didn't mind a little sacrifice for the cause (but I hate oats!).
By this time Cindy appeared, and she was looking hot!. (I even tried to whistle, but it came out a whinny). Cindy got into the coach and then we all realized the old girl had forgotten one thing... a driver.


So she grabbed a frog hopping through the garden, and turned him into a driver.If you ask me, we would have saved a lot of time if she had just made him a Prince instead. They're always doing that in other fairy tales, but noooooo, we had to do things the hard way.

Cindy was a smash at the ball. The Prince was totally captivated.
At midnight, they were going to get a cold drink of lemonade, when Cindy's dress started to come apart.Well!, it didn't take a genius to figure out that she'd better get out of there. So she took off, with the Prince on her trail. .

Fortunately he was clumsy, and he tripped. That gave Cindy just enough time to jump into the coach and leave the Palace grounds. About half-way home the coach shrank so small, that Cindy had to get out and walk. It was then when she realized she had lost a shoe. Hobbling home on one shoe is no joke!.
All night long, Cindy talked about the Prince, the ball, and the great time she had. It was like her tongue got stuck by a phonograph needle. Essie finally gave up and left about 4:30 a.m., mumbling something about creating a monster. Cindy wore herself out around 6:00 am. It was a good thing the "steps" slept late that morning, or Cindy wouldn't have had any sleep at all!. Later that afternoon, the word came through the cheese-vine. The Prince would begin a search for the love of his life tomorrow. He had fallen in love at the ball last night, with a young lady he knew only by a slipper she left behind.
I was so excited to hear this news, I immediately went to tell Cindy. I must say she took the news rather well. With just a "Oh, that's nice to hear", she went back to her work. (I was expecting at least one jump for joy!)
The next day, the Prince came to our house and the "steps", (including their mother!), all tried to get their size 10 feet into this size 4 slipper. It's a wonder the poor slipper didn't break!. Cindy was locked in the garden and had no chance to try on the slipper.
That is when I saved the day.
As the Prince entered his coach, I ran under the horses hoofs. The stupid beasts were so frightened of a little mouse, they ran straight through the garden gate, nearly trampling Cindy in the process. It's a good thing that girl is light on her feet!.
The Prince was so apologetic it took him at least ten minutes before he realized this girl had not tried on the slipper. Well... we all know the end. She tried it on, it fit like a glove, and they lived happily ever after.
So the next time you hear the story of Cinderella, remember you heard the real story here first...from


a small grey mouse named Oscar.

my lurVe st0ry..

[Haley]
I’ve been living with a shadow overhead
I’ve been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I’ve been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can’t seem to move on
[Hugh]
I’ve been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need them again someday
I’ve been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind
[Haley & Hugh]
All I wanna do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh
[Haley]
I’ve been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I’ve been searching but I just don’t see the signs
I know that it’s out there
There’s gotta be something for my soul somewhere
[Hugh]
I’ve been looking for someone to shed some light
Not somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction
And I’m open to your suggestions
[Haley & Hugh]
All I wanna do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I’m hoping you’ll be there for me in the end
[Haley]
There are moments when I don’t know if it’s real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation
[Haley & Hugh]
All I wanna do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I’m hoping you’ll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I’ll be there for you in the end
