  3. you're getting it wrong Black_Stallion...she's doing some benchmarking over here.

    "i myself struggle to forget"...dahsyat, she struggles doing so 'even for a moment'. Normal people usually struggle to 'remember'..even in this state, she named herself as 'amnesic'..hmm..its like the story of an imam (hah..cari sndri)..shakautu ila waqi' su'u hifzi, fa arshadni, bla3...whereas at that time he's pretty well-known for his strong memory...

    so..maybe both of you should write something.haha

  4. Sir Pijo:
    Oh c'mon I know you know a lot about Imams and all the religion stuff but please don't be stingy in sharing the stories.
    (BTW the name Pijo reminds me of some kind of parrot that lives in Amazon)

  5. (since Sir Pijo likes to talk in Arabic, I feel intimidated, hmph :P)

    Confucius said,

    "学而不思则罔,思而不学则殆。" (Learning without thinking is labour lost; thinking without learning is perilous.)

    "知之者,不如好之者,好之者,不如乐之者。" (They who know the truth are not equal to those who love it, and they who love it are not equal to those who delight in it.)

    Giraffe, you seem to be a bright person, I think you know what they mean. :)

  6. Sis Black Stallion:seems like you forgot to state your stallion in our little "zoo list".

    n,i don't thing Bro Pijo is stingy in sharing knowledge..he just enjoying himself.writing "Bla3" is his trademark,i guest.

    Bro Pijo: i.struggle.to.forget.about.THE EBE itself.

    what's the meaning of your arabic phrase?failed to google it.
    Don't thing it has something to do with our class' "Afiq Arshad" though..('arshadni')

  7. Z is for Zenith, Z is for Zoo. I like! :D

    Well, I was just encouraging Sir Pijo to say a bit more about it. Sarcasm and provocation is my trademark I guess? :P But I dare not use it too much here.

    BTW Giraffe who are you?

  8. شكوت الى وكيع سوء حفظي * فأرشدنى الى ترئ المعاصى
    وأخبرنى بأن العلم نور * ونور الله لا يهدى لعاصى

    for the meaning..i've given link below.
    2:23. That's when what the bla3 imam will come.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jk5mbxvK-rk

    so..your turn to bla3 after this...
    were giraffe: 'how to' on getting perfect retention.
    Black_stallion: 'how to' on achieving 'always on the go'.

    i use bla3 when i assume something is common/its googleable and mostly bcoz i'm lazy to type it again (for example, the quote above, its quite hard to start searching for it again in google, but for the sake of helping each other, who know, you all can be good dr for ummah, bla3..i looked for the text as well as the translation)

    learn to give and take okeh..not that i'd be expecting it. Its just bla3...

    p/s- there is something fishy on the text,on the tarki part...maybe there was 'interruption' on recalling when the author uses his own words as he typed it..its different from what i've memorized, but maybe i'm wrong and for me to be looking for the book where i met the quote b4 ..i malas.sekian.
