Summary – Forced sleep produce nightmare
I have my own theories on this. We can all agree that mind is a very wild thing. To put it at ease will be a very difficult task. Sometimes the nightmare we had just doesn’t make any sense. We are not sleeping in fear but still the nightmare comes.

I believe people had nightmare because they sleep not because they wanted to sleep but they forced themselves to sleep. “Tomorrow I need to work, I must sleep, MUST”. The mind is very wild at the time so no wonder it reacted with the nightmare. Somehow people from previous generation know about this. That’s why they relate having nightmare to not washing your feet. Scientifically, why do we ever need to wash our feet before we sleep?

1) to clean it up so that our bed will be clean? – possible
2) to cool it off so the comfort will help us sleep? – possible

I choose to believe that washing your feet is a cooling down session for your mind. The action itself is telling the mind (in the most persuasive way) that you wanted to sleep. Then with all the “doa” you recite, the mind will immediately prepare to go to sleep mode. And lastly we recite the “kalimah syahadah” which is supposed to be the last word we utter for the day before we sleep. This will subconciously tell the mind “Good night and sweet dream”

When I was a kid, my nightmare almost always involved two beast (usually elephants) running toward each other with me in the middle of the head on collision. Very short but at the time very scary hehe. Usually it is a sign that I will be down with fever the next day. Do you have any reccuring nightmare.

Today in the newspaper, people are talking about what they are doing to help mother nature. People are pledging this and that. This is a very good development since it shows that people are more concern about the nature. So today’s post will be dedicated to nature. I’m not going to venture on the problem nature is facing and how to overcome it. Instead I’m going to list down what I have done in the name of nature and three pledges to do starting today.

What I have done for nature

• I recycled newspaper. Total earning from newspaper recycling up to date is around RM40
• At work, I collected used paper to be reused when I want to draft something
• Unless really needed, I told the shop owner or cashier not to give me plastic bag.
• I avoid myself from buying take away food (tapau) in those polystyrene. Do you know that those polystyrene takes up to hundred years to decompose.
• I only throw rubbish in the trash can. Even in my car, I forbid anyone trying to throw the rubbish outside. That’s why my car is slowly turning into a portable trash can hehe

* Erk, I thought I am doing OK but it turns out only I only did five items for nature. But I can proudly say that I have been doing these five items continuously for the last 7-8 years. It has became sort of a habit to me. However I need to do more

Three Items I pledge to do immediately

• Start learning to read newspaper online. This will reduce drastically newspaper to be recycled. I used to do this once, but fall asleep on the keyboard
• Use my motorcycle just to go to and fro to my mill. Once there, I will be walking only. At least it’s a good exercise.
• Conciously reduce my electril bill to 80% (Where’s the damn bill for god’s sake?)

Do share with me your have-done and pledge for nature.

Whether we like it or not, the world is dying. We can’t stop that. Our last hope is to preserve what’s left of it and hopefully prolong its death. Every little things will count in the end. Imagine every cell in our body suddenly say “I’m not important, banji will still be alive even if I’m not doing my function.” I’m dead.

You see, the chances of people saying “I don’t need to do that, other people is doing it” is more likely than “Let’s do that”. If that’s so, we’re screwed man

So how do you feel when today’s your birthday? Happy? teenagers will definitely be happy, with all the parties and gift. However when we are older, ehem, more mature with age, the definition of birthday changed drastically.

Some may think of it as a celebration of life, honouring every experience we had gone through (first love, heart broken and career advancement etc) and expecting the best from those yet to come.

Another prefer to think that we are that much closer to our end. It is the time to reevaluate all goals still not achieved, dreams and sometime the meaning of life.

There are so many ways to go through one’s birthday. You can be depressed about it, You can choose to ignore it entirely. Some may react with a total change of lifestyle. The popular term for this is “midlife crisis”. Typical examples are like suddenly buy an expensive car, or started to dress strangely etc.

In my opinion, there is no right or wrong on how you celebrate your birthday. You can be happy or depressed. It’s entirely up to you. The ultimate fact will still be that we are getting older with every seconds passing by (happy or depressed). So how ever it is you react, just consider what good will that reaction be for you. For example:

• If reevaluation of life’s goal will be beneficial, do that.
• If being depressed will only make you sad, stop immediately (however emotional you are).

We can be emotional, that’s just human but not to the expense we stop living the life we have now and be thankful for it.

Today is a special day. 6th June is my wife’s birthday. Unfortunately she is now at her parent’s home taking care of her elder sister, who just delivered a baby one week ago. Believe me, taking care of her other three children is not an easy job. The children, being children, are always going all out to make their “Makngah” scream every 2 minutes or so. By the time I call her over the phone, she has no voice already heheh. Be strong dear, and know that I will always be there supporting you (100km behind you that is :p ) and oh ya HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

This is a continuation of my previous post – My Theory On Ghost

To start, I would like to say that my following points will mainly be based on my knowledge on Islam teaching. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Let me first define what is ghost in malay culture. Typical examples are as follow

• “Pontianak” – said to be created from pregnant woman killed.
• “Hantu Susu” – once famous, ghostly woman knocking houses asking milk for her newborn
• “Hantu Raya” – said to look alike the owner and is super strong
• “Hantu Tinggi”, “Pocong”, “Hantu Jepun” and many more.

Why do I say, all the defined ghost are not real

• Pregnant woman killed or died is considered in Islam as “Syahid Kecil” (honoured death). There is no way those who “syahid” will become ghost.

• “Seksa / Nikmat Kubur” is a very real thing in Islam. It is supposed to be permanent until the Judgment Day. How come human spirit can haunt the living if they are in “Alam Kubur”. If they were tortured, obviously they cannot get out to haunt you. And if they were blessed with pleasure, why would they want to get out.

• As mentioned earlier, there is no actual proof that anybody has seen a ghost in their entire life. Stories we heard are almost always about “friend of a friend”. I doubt we can trace back the story to the original person. There are those who claim sensing the presence via voices, shadow etc. I stand by my first theory on this one (please refer to previous post). Jin however is a special case. I will elaborate more on this later.

• If we monitor the ghost stories all around the world. one thing they have in common, no “hantu susu” is found in England or India and no dracula is found in Kuala Pilah or Tapah . They are all actually cultural. Meaning, it is created only from stories maybe as a joke or to frighten children for them to be more obedient.

• Some argue that maybe they are called by different name in different places. “Pontianak” may be known as vampire in certain place. Still the origin tales of vampire is different from “pontianak”. In addition, if vampire did kill people, we should be able to see bloodless bodies everywhere every now and then right?

Now, let me tell you what is real. Hm…….  maybe later, I try to keep my post short and simple

FYI, before married, I stayed alone in my house. Quite a big house actually and located about 11km in the estate. A jungle, you know how jungle was supposed to be a very spooky place. I heard lots of ghost stories, some specifically about my house. The funny thing is during my three years staying there, I was never afraid or encounter any spiritual stuff. But whenever I watch ghost movie, I mean the scary one, not the chinese ghost hopping around, I suddenly got goosebump and hearing all sort of things. Only when I watch ghost movie. Funny right?
