American Idol 2013- Top 7 Elimination

The show was already on when I switched on the TV & and there was Casey James singing. He was one of previous AI's contestants. I never knew this guy before tonight, & but for some unexplainable reason, he reminded me of Daniel Johns from Silverchair. I dont fancy country singers at all, so I wasnt really into his performance.

Apart from Casey, there was also Carrie underwood. As widely known, she was also one of the previous seasons of AI's winner.

Jimmy as usual appeared on screen to give some recaps on each one of the contestants performances last night. He predicted that Burnell & Lazaro will be eliminated tonight. I disagree with his choice, at least not Burnell. It should be Lazaro & Janelle. U know why i think it won't be Burnell.

the host Ryan Seacrest then announced the top 3 of the judges choices. Keith, Nicki & Randy chose Amber, Angie & Kree as the top 3 while Mariah chose Amber, Candice & Kree. but it turned out that top 3 of America's choice are Angie, Candice & Lazaro!!!

I was very upset why Lazaro, I mean he's such a sweetheart n all but just like Jimmy said, he is not ready for this competition, talent wise. I thought he should be the earliest one to go home.

After Ryan announced the top 3, the list was followed by Kree, Candice & Amber, and that means Janelle & Burnell were in the bottom 2.

So the final result was, Burnell Taylor, yes, my favourite Burnell was the one eliminated. Even though earlier on I got to know the result already but I couldnt hold back my tears & I was crying like nobody's business. he was so so sad & it obviously showed.

So goodbye Burnell.... Now that you are gone, I have to root for Angie, and Angie alone... Hopefully She will wins.

American Idol 2013 - Classic Rock Night

Yesterday night balik2 kerja I terus masak, and I was rushing like nobody's business just to catch up with the show. As usual laa kan, mesti rushing punya semata2 nk tengok my favourite show ni ^__^

I will usually watch the 8pm show sbb I sampai rumah from office pun dah around 6pm, then I nak kena settlekan hal2 rumah such as cooking & cleaning, so mmg x sempat nak tengok the first show. So lepas masak & kemas semalam, me & hubby pun tengok sama2.

Choosing 'Classic Rock night' as their theme this week, all of the contestants performed songs from rock and roll genre. I suka genre ni sbb I mmg suka rock, but as I expected mesti dorang x pandai pilih lagu & mmg betul pun, their songs this week masih lagi lagu2 yang memboringkan except for Angie. She sang Evanescene song "Bring me to life", which is a song more modern than any of the others.. Mmmm, good choice Angie, but tu pun di kira old song jugak... Banyak lagi lagu2 fresh in the market, they all mesti choose lagu lama jugak... Ni jer yg I kurang puas hati about AI.. So, mcm biasa I wont elaborate much on each of the contestants, except for those in my favorite lists.

This week there were 2 performances each had to make. Solo & duo. So during the 1st round, Burnell Taylor sang a song from Bonjovi, "You give love a bad name", which was one of my all time favorite childhood song. To me, he delivered well & my husband too, thought it was good. But based on the judges feedback, they appeared not really satisfied with his performance & they thought Rock is not his thing at all. Well in that point I setuju sgt ngn judges sbb Burnell mmg sesuai nyanyi lagu R&B je but this week performance of his to me was amazing & not flat at all, but the media & judges told the public the other way around. Of course Burnell x boleh lawan the legendary Bonjovi but his vocals mmg terbaik & sentiasa terbaik. Kalau tengok persembahan dia malam ni mmg weird sbb dia bukan rock artist tapi kalau just listen and focus to his vocal, mmg best.

You be the judge, Was it good?

During the duo performance, Burnell was teamed up with Candice & sang a song from Joe Cockers "The Letter". Judges asek puji Candice jer, so x nampak lah macam Burnell ni shines sgt in this performance, at least to the judges perspectives. But my eyes, they were on Burnell all the time.

He's always good, hands down

And mcm biasa lepas give review pasal Burnell, I mesti akan give review pasal Angie. Heheh... diaorang 2 org je favorite I.. Yang lain sgt membosankan but I dont deny that they are all very good in what they r doing.

So Angie masa 1st round nyanyi duet with Lazaro, the famous "Crazy little thing called love" from the band Queen. Lagu ni mmg famous & mmg sedap but again, sgt lamaaaaa.... Diaorang ni suka sgt buat AI mcm cite kuno, target audience dorang macam orang tua je, sbb theme mesti bosan and classic... Jarang nk dpt tengok theme yg fresh & modern. Padahal dh banyak artis2 baru kt sana.

Angie sgt best mlm ni. Vocal dia menonjol & she was shining more than Lazaro did.

During her solo performance, Angie sang "Bring me to life" from the band Evanescence. I was finally excited dengan lagu yang modern mcm ni. Baru lah best dengar lagu2 modern. Kita ni dah zaman 2013 masih lg ker nk korek lagu2 classic setiap kali buat persembahan. Entah lah dorang ni. So anyway, Angie tak berapa best sgt lah this time. I x berapa suka. She didnt delivered it as much powerful as Amy from Evanescence did. Mcm control jer vocal dia, tak nak tarik tinggi2 & played safe. She looks like a rock chick but sorry, rock is not really her thing. Mcm judges cakap, dia sesuai nyanyi sambil main piano, as much as Im tired of hearing them said that, I kinda agree.

Mula2 dah best dah. Chorus part, nah, too safe..

Malam ni keputusan akan keluar... Cant wait! I suspected Lazaro akan keluar this time but I think Burnell pun last week at bottom 3 so Im very nervous!!

My Habatussauda

About 2 years back I discovered a cure to my weak body & weak digestive system, and it is called, "Habatussauda". Syukur Alhamdulillah Allah has opened up a way for me to cure my endless immune conflicts & finally skrg dengan Habatussauda, I live a healthier life.

So as a muslim sister, I feel like it's my duty to share with my fellow brothers & sisters about my personal experience with Habatussauda. Pertama sekali it can really cure a constipation atau sembelit. Im not ashame to admit that once upon a time Im suffering with this. Maybe ianya disebabkan life style yg x sihat, kurang minum air & kurang makan buah-buahan & sayuran. Many a times my mom and dad scolded me sbb taknak makan buah. I ni jenis memilih buah apa utk dimakan. Paling benci apple, tekak ni takleh telan buah tu.. But my dad said they r good to deal with constipation problem sbb they r rich with fiber tapi mcm mana dad cakap pun I still cant swallow an apple. I ignore je papa cakap "An apple a day keeps the doctor away". Well bukan papa yang cakap, it's a famous quote tapi papa selalu cakap bende tuh lah... LOL...

So with the poor eating habit, no wonder I kena sakit tu dulu. Lepas I jumpa my husband who at that time was still my boyfriend, dia bawak I pergi Mydin dekat Jalan TAR, Kuala Lumpur. Tujuan nya saja2 nak tengok apa ubatan yg ada di sana yang boleh I ambil for supplements. Sbb I opt for traditional remedy, modern ni bukan x bagus tapi byk sgt campuran bahan kimia, and utk org yg sembelit, kalau makan pill Blackmore lah, 21st Century lah apa lah, pasti akan dapat lebih teruk sembelit. Trust me, I know it. Dulu pun I makan jugak multivitamin Blackmore semua tu, but tambah susah nak buang air besar.

So dkt sana I beli Habatussauda, nak cuba dulu. Lepas makan, Alhamdulillah, my digestive system improves a lot & I tak perlu bergantung dengan ducolax, duphalac & apa2 ubatan modern lain utk fight constipation.

After discovering a magical change in my body and health, I cuba google about Habatussauda. MasyaAllah... Masa tu baru I dapat tahu yang Habatussauda ni adalah salah satu daripada makanan harian Nabi Muhammad S.A.W & di dalam hadith nya Nabi bersabda,

Gunakanlah HABBBATUS SAUDA’  kerana di dalamnya terdapat sejenis ubat dari segala jenis macam penyakit kecuali As Sam (maut)” (HR.Bukhari, Muslim)

Imagine, segala jenis penyakit kecuali mati, how good is that?

I nk elaborate panjang2 introduction pasal Habatussauda ni payah sikit sbb ni pun dah taip panjang kan? Hehe.. so better if u guys baca sendiri information & introduction nya from the blogs I listed below.

Kalau nak beli, you all boleh cari dekat Mydin. Harga nya murah compared to other places. Kat sana 60 biji (1 Botol besar) cuma RM7.50, and kalau beli 3 botol dapat discount, instead of bayar RM 22.50, you all just perlu bayar around RM17+ je. I selalu pergi sana akan dptkan 3 botol utk stock 45 hari. Sebab 1 botol tahan 15 hari je, u r required to take 4 pills per day, pagi 2 malam 2. Sistem pembuangan akan jadi lancar, dan takde lagi masalah sembelit. Believe it or not, dah lama I x demam, Alhamdulillah. Immune sistem jadi lebih baik lepas amalkan Habatussauda.

Selain kapsul, Habatussauda juga ada di buat minyak. I discover minyak ni masa jalan2 dkt Carefour Ampang, ada booth jual produk dari Yaman & I pun try beli minyak ni utk simpanan. Sbb ustaz yang jual tu cakap, kalau gatal2 kulit atau melecur boleh sapu.

Yang ni pun I dh guna, I sapu kalau ada gatal2 dkt kulit. Hari tu I terkena minyak panas dkt jari, lepas sapu sekejap hilang sakit nya. Boleh juga di sapu dkt Miss V, especially lepas dtg haid & bila ada ruam2. Cepat je akan lesap semua gatal2 kulit. That is my own personal experience. It's a very good anti-bacteria & anti-fungus agent to fight those ruam2 & gatal2 dan mmg selamat disapu di mana saja ^__^ The booth which opened at Carefour last time, also having a shop at Ampang Waterfront. Sana u all boleh dpt kan minyak tu. It's RM30 for 50ml. Ada juga jual size kecil which is RM10 tapi I beli terus yang besar. Sini ada jual product from Yaman such as Product dari buah zaitun, delima, buah tin, kurma dan sebagainya.

Check out their facebook page~

Ni gambar kedai tu. Betul2 dekat dengan Manjaku di Ampang Waterfront.

That day I serbu kedai tu & beli macam2 from here. Stock makanan ni utk sebulan, sbb I nak consume makanan yang mengikut sunnah Nabi. InshaAllah kita hanya berikhtiar & semoga Allah memberi segala kebaikan dari makanan2 ini kepada diri kita.

Ni lah dia makanan yang I beli; Kurma, buah tin, Habbatus sauda minyak & kapsul. Tip top!

Kalau u all pergi Mydin & nak cari pil Habatussauda yg sama, yang dalam gambar ni lah yang I makan. It's from ANN Marketing, kelantan. Semoga anda juga mendapat faedah dari makanan2 sunnah Nabi ni ya! Good luck brothers & sisters!!


P/S: Ada 1 blogger ni, anak nya makan habatussauda, kurma, almond & kismis sejak kecil lagi, & x sampai umur 5 tahun dah boleh baca Al-Quran. MasyaAllah... ^__^




Bacaan Al-Quran & Zikrullah dari Mishaari Raashid Al-Aafaasee

Assalamualaikum my muslim brothers & sisters. U all pernah dengar tak bacaan Al- Quran dari Sheikh Mishaari? I believe each one of us, masing2 ada favourite reciter and *Qari masing2 kan? Apart from baca sendiri, mesti kita suka dengar bacaan orang lain especially from Qari tersohor. I rasa list of favourite  Quran reciter korang mostly mesti berasal dari negara Arab, betul tak? Sebab bacaan mereka sangat merdu dan tenang. Ye lah, itu kan mmg bahasa ibunda mereka, bacaan mereka pun lebih merdu berbanding yang lain. As for me, Sheikh Mishaari is my top most favourite *qari. And yes, he is from Arab; Kuwait to be exact.

Apart from reciting the Quran on my own, sometimes I love to just listen to the Qari melalui my mp3 player, my phone, or even through cd in my car. 

Qari is actually a person who recites the Qur'an with the proper rules of recitation. Bila kita dengar bacaan dari Qari, hati jadi tenang sangat dengan merdu nya bacaan mereka. Many a times I shed tears bila dengar Sheikh Mishaari recites the Quran. Terasa kebesaran Allah swt apabila mendengar baris-baris ayat yang dibacakan oleh beliau.

Baru2 ni I downloaded his Quran Mp3 & saved them in my Blackberry phone. I thought,  boleh lah nanti pasang earphone & dengar bacaan nya diwaktu lapang. I started to know about him while I was trying to search for Quran Mp3, and I bumped into this website called Quranic Audio. Ada banyak Qari lain di sana, and I happened to click his name. Alhamdulillah, he has been my favourite ever since and his reciting never fails to calm me and cleanse me.

Sometimes just untuk muhasabah diri, sebelum tidur I will remember back all those thing yang I pernah buat in my life, all those failures, all those times yang I lupa pada Allah and I will let my tears fall down endlessly, just surrendering myself. Then I will switch on the Mp3 player or my phone to listen to Sheikh Mishaari's reciting. MashaAllah, sejurus selesai rasa cleanse sangat jiwa luar dan dalam. I am too weak, I am too lost. This is just a way which Allah opens for me in order to be closer to him. You can try it too.

It is actually good to always ingat untuk muhasabah diri. And dengar lah bacaan dari Qari kerana ianya pasti dapat menenangkan jiwa, but of course u will have to always recite the Quran yourself, apart from listening to others reciting it :-)

So just nk share, here is a link to download bacaan Quran dari Sheikh Mishaari. Apart from bacaan, u can also find the translation. Cuba lah tengok kat link yang I bagi tu, if you opt for other Qari, pilih je, ada banyak kat sini. Jgn lupa download to your phone & mp3 yer kawan2 :-) Size nya agak berat so u will need a memory card to accommodate the sizes.
Opps! lagi satu, translation in this website is in English, so kalau u all nak dengar in Malay or something else, try google yg lain. sbb i prefer dengar yang ni.. Tapi through their blog which is http://blog.quran.com/ they all ada mention terdapat bahasa lain selain English. So, try lah godek2 yer. Hehe :D

Ok harap2 adalah org yang sudi nak jenguk website tu! Good luck kawan2 ^_^

Ni lah wajah Sheikh Mishaari Raashid ~


Dekat Youtube banyak zikir2 dari beliau... Check this out ~

Bagi duit kat mak, berkat

Assalamualaikum guys..

Today, adalah sedikit nasihat yang I nak kongsi dgn my readers.. Just a friendly advice & tak ada maksud lain.

I hope, kalau dpt gaji tu dont forget to spend something for your parents. Tak dapat bagi banyak, sikit pun takpe. But to me, if we earn more, we need to give them more. Apa guna kalau gaji beribu2 tapi bagi dkt Mak sikit je? Berkat ke gaji yang kita terima tu. Parents kita dah tua, bukan kuat lagi nak bekerja. Allah lebih syg kan kite if we always berbakti pada parents especially our moms. If we are able to support our parents walaupun setakat 200 or 300 bucks monthly, bukan ke dpt ringan kan beban mereka, am I right? :-) lagi pun, if u guys r already working right now, this is the time to repay back jasa- jasa our parents.

Bagi duit dkt mak tu, BERKAT namanya. When I was still in school, my brothers always reminded me about this, they all pesan kalau Tasha dh kerja nanti kena bagi mama walaupun gaji Tasha sikit. Masa tu I felt so heavy hearted nk bg mama sbb gaji I pun masa kerja as waitress dulu cuma RM600 je, ye lah masa tu tunggu result SPM & I was very young n that was the salary range utk lepasan sekolah. Mula2 kasi mama RM100 rasa beratnya beban, sbb I got a lot of things that I wanna buy for myself. Tapi slowly, month by month I teruskan je bagi mama duit sejurus dapat gaji dan Alhamdulillah, I rasa rezeki I murah bila I x lupa mama. And up to this moment, I mampu nk bg mama lebih dari dulu, berkat dari gaji yang I kongsi sikit dengan mama. Allah tu kan maha adil...

Semua tu lah berkat duit kasi pada mak. Allah sgt sygkan hambaNya yg berbuat baik pada mak. Remember, before her, you were never existed in this world. Sungguh besar jasa parents kita, tapi bila kita dah berkerjaya, kenapa x dpt bg duit kt mak...

I got 1 story ni, dulu I kenal a girl... Skrg entah mana pergi dia.. She was a very bright mahasiswi and sejurus lepas habis belajar, she got accepted at 1 of the biggest company in Malaysia, Exxon Mobil. Sbb masa tu pointer dia mmg tinggi melangit, and mmg majikan tu dtg Universiti utk interview all the graduates for job opportunities. And fortunately for her, she got in as 1 of their executive customer service representative.

Sape x kenal company tu dkt Malaysia ni, it's 1 of the Malaysia's leading company in oil & gas. And of course, remuneration packages yg diaorang offer mmg terbaik. My former friend ni she got offered RM4000++ by the company. Imagine just after graduated, she straight away dpt kerja ni, and guess how much dia bg mak dia every month? RM100 je.. And sometimes 200 camtu. sedangkan gaji dia cecah 4k & she was still single at that time. The rest of the money are spent for herself. And everyday in the car she would babble to me about things at home, about how hard it was for her to give the money to her mom.. Dia cakap dia rasa macam "kenapa lah aku kena bagi org tua ni duit??"  MashaAllah! Jangan lah kita jadi hamba duit. Sampai bila2 pun duit takkan pernah cukup kalau kita merungut.

And believe it or not, ramai kat luar sana yg serupa mcm my former friend ni... I pun x faham kenapa gaji besar x dpt bg mak lebih sikit... I yg gaji ala2 paras tengkuk ni pun dpt bg my mom lebih dari tu. sometimes I wonder, x syg mak ke? ;-( I speak highly of my mom & i never thought there are people out there yg x syg mak setinggi mana I love my mom.. :-(

Of course kite kene dahulu kan our commitments. Our car instalment, our credit cards, our loans, mcm2 nk kene bayar, but then dari duit gaji tu tarik sikit for our parents. Dan bagi lah amount yang bersesuaian dgn gaji kita. Kalau gaji 4K bg mak 100 atau 200 tu logik kalau ada anak, ada suami , ada rumahtangga, tapi jangan tipu diri sendiri, if mostly suami yg tanggung & ada banyak baki lebih, bagi2 lah kt parents tu lebih sikit.. Bagi, jgn x bagi... Allah x cakap yang ke-3 kita kene syg tu adalah diri kita... Allah ckp yg ke-3 kita kene syg adalah mak.. So beri keutamaan pada mak... Without ur parents, u cant even have a job and cant even earn anything right now, so ingat from where u came from..

So girls and guys out there yg happen to read my post ni, pls remember ur parents and help them financially even if they r financially stable. Kalau ur parents dh terlalu kaya sgt, bring them outside and treat them for dinner, buy them presents and pamper them with anything that they like. InshaAllah 1 day Allah akan reward lebih dari what u manage to give to ur parents. Allah kan maha adil? ;-)

Jangan tanya kenapa aku kena bagi parents duit, sedangkan parents aku x pernah bantu aku langsung dari aku kecik? If you girls and guys are 100% muslim & Islam, you will know the answer to your own question. InshaAllah...
