Prophet Muhammad declared war on riba’ (usury). Riba’ basically means making money from no effort of your own. And, according to Sheikh Imran Hossein, there are 80 levels of riba’, corruption being one of them (since corruption involves making money in a dishonest manner and from no effort of your own).

Stage
oh hoi,
it has been a cheerful day at work,
it has also been 3 weeks since i started my internship.
it started with me being so afraid of the challenges, then as i learn n learn throughout these weeks, now, im just eager to solve the problem.
For instance, today; i have achieved something :D
im so not in the mood to explain what my work is about, so i just skip to what i've done today.
Before, it was all about understanding the problem, people keep asking what i've done, but i cant really give them a satisfied answer.
Today, a colleague ask me a favor, n i've done it.
i dont know how to use visual basic before coz i only learnt access (n a bit of visual basic in the access ofcoz but it was just about copying the text written on the board) in my uni.
But today, i manage to improve the interface program and make it easier for my colleague to extract the information in it. Imagine that, visual basic, something i never even put my thought on or study before, n now i have done something to the company.. =)
it felt good.
my real task takes ofcoz a more complicated solution.
i need time to investigate a lot of stuff as the error can occur at any level of the system n there r a lot of errors.
On top of that, i need a spy computer which i cant take as i please coz a lot of people need it too, n even to go to take it, i need my godfather who has the access to the room to accompany me.
oh wait, thats not enough, i also sometimes need a technician next to me, like for instance today, i need a technician near me as i want to change the cable connected because they have to stop the production line n there is a possibility of reinitialization of the automate. An experienced technician is needed coz anything can go wrong.
but.. he was absent..
It could be for any reason, absent, busy with other stuff (which happens a lot), these stuff makes u unable to continue with your work.
So, it has to be tomorrow.. we'll see..
in the end, i need these clear target missions to make me happy n energetic, coz i can easily understand them n make sum people satisfied. In other words, i need some small accomplishment in these long n tiresome path.
Some photos:
This is where i used to relax coz out side is too cold n also when im too damn sleepy n need some break during Ramadhan.
im taking the train everyday, including a bus to go to my work place
My office, (the one on the far left)

the girl at the ticket kaunter..
i saw a girl today, she works at the ticket kaunter of GSC Sunway in seb. perai. Ofcourse i was to shy to say anythin relevant to her.. i was with my 2 other friends to watch the movie UP. We went at the kaunter, bought 4 tickets, then off we go. But i did say her name out loud coz of its uniqueness.. "Bella" with a smile, i left. And the story ends there... what a day. Now i'll never see her again coz im leaving for France this Sunday.

Royal la sgt..
I went to Royal Perak Golf Club yesterday.
We had a free evening, my brother in law is a member, so my sis sent me n my little niece over there to enjoy the new awaited swimming pool.
First of all, i wasnt wearing the right pants, only tight or underwear-like pants r allowed, like the swimming pool i went to in France. i was wearing a beach pants..
but the Indian guy was kind and he let this first timer rule breaker to jump into the pool n to avoid the manager's radar at all time. Which means i cant really move freely n to remain in the water if an old chinese guy who is the manager of that place, passes by. Which he did by the way..
When i was enjoying my little swimming with my niece, i notice some chinese doing some 'kuak lentang'.
As time passes by, more Chinese arrived, and when it reached 6pm, the place (pool, gym, etc2) was fulled with Chinese.
Everywhere there's only Chinese. There were only few malays who passed by just to look around then went away.
What i dont understand is, this is a "Royal" club,
and in a royal standard place, which i think is the highest standard in Msia, it is fulled with Chinese?
im not being racist, but where are the Malays??
dude come on, this is a royal place, shouldnt it be fulled with Malays??
My sis said tht if they were to lower the membership monthly fee, there'ld be malays.
I found that to be an insult.
My bro in law said that, in the weekends, there r lots of Malay.
I hope tht's true, and that makes me pretty satisfied.
i guess Malays r busier to even care about swimming n get their body in shape rather than the Chinese. they only get their free time during the weekends.
Well, hope its true..
One thing, the "game room" with a picture of a clown on the signboard, which i asked the guard over there what type of a game they have to let my niece play a bit, is a place to gamble.

In general, countries that do not persecute marchers are prosperous or are improving from their previous state of affairs, and those that do are declining.
More and more people realise that peaceful assemblies are no threat at all to the security of the nation, although they are a threat to the security of tenure of the ruling elite.
Politicians do not mean it when they say with a straight face or a smile that they are the servants and that the people are the masters. No servant would treat his master with tear gas, batons and handcuffs.
