100 Tanda Sebelum Mati

TANDA PERTAMA

Ini adalah tanda pertama dari Allah SWT kepada hambanya dan hanya akan disedari oleh mereka yang dikehendakinya.

Semua orang Islam akan mendapat tanda ini cuma samada mereka sedar atau tidak sahaja. Tanda ini akan berlaku lazimnya selepas waktu Asar . Seluruh tubuh iaitu dari hujung rambut sehingga ke hujung kaki akan mengalami getaran atau seakan-akan mengigil. Contohnya seperti daging lembu yang baru saja disembelih dimana jika diperhatikan dengan teliti kita akan mendapati daging tersebut seakan-akan bergetar.

Tanda ini rasanya lazat dan bagi mereka yang sedar dan berdetik di hati bahawa mungkin ini adalah tanda mati maka getaran ini akan berhenti dan hilang setelah kita sedar akan kehadiran tanda ini. Bagi mereka yang tidak diberi kesedaran atau mereka yang hanyut dengan kenikmatan tanpa memikirkan soal kematian, tanda ini akan lenyap begitu sahaja tanpa sebarang munafaat. Bagi yang sedar dengan kehadiran tanda ini maka ini adalah peluang terbaik untuk memunafaatkan masa yang ada untuk mempersiapkan diri dengan amalan dan urusan yang akan dibawa atau ditinggalkan sesudah mati.

TANDA 40 HARI

Tanda ini juga akan berlaku sesudah waktu Asar. Bahagian pusat kita akan berdenyut-denyut. Pada ketika ini daun yang tertulis nama kita akan gugur dari pokok yang letaknya di atas Arash Allah SWT. Maka Malaikat Maut akan mengambil daun tersebut dan mula membuat persediaannya ke atas kita, antaranya ialah ia akan mula mengikuti kita sepanjang masa.

Akan terjadi Malaikat Maut ini akan memperlihatkan wajahnya sekilas lalu dan jika ini terjadi, mereka yang terpilih ini akan merasakan seakan-akan bingung seketika. Adapun Malaikat Maut ini wujudnya cuma seorang tetapi kuasanya untuk mencabut nyawa adalah bersamaan dengan jumlah nyawa yang akan dicabutnya.

TANDA 7 HARI

Adapun tanda ini akan diberikan hanya kepada mereka yang diuji dengan musibah kesakitan di mana orang sakit yang tidak makan secara tiba-tiba ianya berselera untuk makan.

TANDA 3 HARI

Pada ketika ini akan terasa denyutan di bahagian tengah dahi kita iaitu diantara dahi kanan dan kiri. Jika tanda ini dapat dikesan maka berpuasalah kita selepas itu supaya perut kita tidak mengandungi banyak najis dan ini akan memudahkan urusan orang yang akan memandikan kita nanti.

Ketika ini juga mata hitam kita tidak akan bersinar lagi dan bagi orang yang sakit hidungnya akan perlahan-lahan jatuh dan ini dapat dikesan jika kita melihatnya dari bahagian sisi. Telinganya akan layu dimana bahagian hujungnya akan beransur-ansur masuk ke dalam. Telapak kakinya yang terlunjur akan perlahan-lahan jatuh ke depan dan sukar ditegakkan.

TANDA 1 HARI

Akan berlaku sesudah waktu Asar di mana kita akan merasakan satu denyutan di sebelah belakang iaitu di kawasan ubun-ubun di mana ini menandakan kita tidak akan sempat untuk menemui waktu Asar keesokan harinya.

TANDA AKHIR

Akan berlaku keadaan di mana kita akan merasakan satu keadaan sejuk di bahagian pusat dan ianya akan turun ke pinggang dan seterusnya akan naik ke bahagian halkum. Ketika ini hendaklah kita terus mengucap kalimah syahadah dan berdiam diri dan menantikan kedatangan malaikat maut untuk menjemput kita kembali kepada Allah SWT yang telah menghidupkan kita dan sekarang akan mematikan pula. 

subhanallah, tuhan maha besar. jodoh dan pertemuan ditentukan oleh-NYA.

LORD SEPTIC

He can also be very violent. He creeps from the shadows and mercilessly hits Percy on his head with his stick. Then he slams Percy against the locker.

CROUCH:
-He can be described as subservient. Crouch is a servant who is so devoted and submissive towards his master, Lord Septic. He gives too much respect to his master. He is dim-witted as he simply agrees with whatever his boss says and instructs.
-He is also a bully. He bullies Rose and throws away her tray of rose across the platform. He has no sense of humanity although he knows that Rose is poor and blind.

SYMBOL

The Wind-blown Rose Petals

• As it commonly represents, in our poster, Rose

too symbolises love relationships.

• Love blossoms between Percy and the main

female character, whose name is Rose as well.

• In displaying rose petals, hence a double trick is

done.

• However, it again brings another symbolic

meaning. Many are unaware that roses actually

signifies success and have been used as a symbol

of superior merit since ancient England.

Therefore, by designing the rose to fall in

petals and are wind-blown (no roots, no

future), again it brings us back to the ending

of the text, where Lord Septic fails to get the

Gatsby Gold, and is sent to the police station.

The Railway Station

• Represents the one and only setting where the

plotline of the whole drama evolves around with.

Be it Lord Septic’s flashbacks of memory, or the

current happening situation, the New Station is

the setting where every event in the drama takes

place.

• As can be seen, the only source of the light for

the whole poster is from the railway station,

signifying that hope and goodness despite all

cruelty and greed, and also that Happy Ending

ultimately takes place, where Percy proposes to

Rose and Rose agrees (in lightning speed).

Journey to The Centre of The Earth Trailer

I don't know. This might help. You can click on the video, watch it on YouTube. There, you'll find a few other links to watch the whole movie. It would be more helpful if you watch the older version of the movie.

Public Transport Etiquette

1. Move to the back of the bus or train carriage - it might be early in the morning or at the end of a long day at work but WAKE UP and realise other people are crammed like sardines. If you can, move back so there's one less person left frustrated at the bus stop.
2. Invest in decent headphones. Tinny muffled sounds from loud, leaky headphones can drive everyone around you crazy. You might love the sounds of death-metal or Chinese opera but the people near you won't. Turn it down to save your hearing (and your travel neighbours' sanity) or buy decent headphones that keep the sounds for your ears only.
3. Don't wait to be told - body odour issues are hard to stomach on crowded public transport. If you are standing in a sea of space whilst others huddle away and breathe through an oxygen mask, you need (a better) deodorant. Take the hint…
4. Similarly, everybody should get up to give a seat to the elderly, anyone with mobility issues, pregnant women and those with babes in arms. Do your good deed today and show the students how it's done.
5. Remember 'Clive the too-loud commuter' sketches from The Chaser show? Keep that in mind next time you're chatting to your new lover, ex-girlfriend or psychologist on your mobile. Sometimes phone conversations can add interest to a dull trip but then maybe your travel companions will know a whole lot more about you than is decent…
6. Don't read adult magazines, a wide broadsheet newspaper or catalogues for products that help irritable bowel syndrome. Privacy and elbow room is not possible.
7. If you have had the luxury of a seat during your journey, please don't be the first one standing and pushing into the aisle to get off the bus or train. Take a deep breath, relax for half a minute more and let the poor sods who had to stand, off first.
8. Don't sneeze, cough or cut your fingernails all over the place. It's gross and spreads disease (including the 'I can't bear to catch the bus anymore' virus which is no good for our traffic).

This video might not related to public transport entirely. But it is worth watching.

Active and Passive Voice .

l  VOICE indicates if the subject acts or is being acted upon.

l  ACTIVE VOICE: Kristen wrote the report (the subject, Kristen, acts).

l  PASSIVE VOICE: The report was written by Kristen (the subject, the report, was acted upon).

l  When you use the ACTIVE VOICE, you achieve greater precision when you answer who or what performs each action.

l  The problem with PASSIVE VOICE is that it begs this question:

Who or what performed the action?

l  Some passive sentences quickly answer the who or what question with a prepositional phrase:

The report was written by Kristen.

The preposition is wordy and identifies the actor too late

To eliminate the passive voice:

l  Find and mark the passive voice: it always has a “to be” verb (is, are, was, were, been …) plus another verb.

Example: The report was written by Kristen.

To eliminate the passive voice:

l  Answer the question who or what does the action.

Example: Kristen wrote the report.

To eliminate the passive voice:

l  Make the answer the subject of the verb.

Example: Kristen wrote the report.

How to Make Ice Cream .

Milk can become homemade ice cream in five minutes by using a bag! This homemade, creamy treat is a summertime delight for kids and adults alike.

Enjoy doing this,people!

What you'll need:

• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 cup milk or half & half
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
• 6 tablespoons rock salt
• 1 pint-size plastic food storage bag (e.g., Ziploc) 
• 1 gallon-size plastic food storage bag
• Ice cubes

How to make it:

1. Fill the large bag half full of ice, and add the rock salt. Seal the bag.
2. Put milk, vanilla, and sugar into the small bag, and seal it.
3. Place the small bag inside the large one, and seal it again carefully.
4. Shake until the mixture is ice cream, which takes about 5 minutes.
5. Wipe off the top of the small bag, then open it carefully. Enjoy!

Tips:

A 1/2 cup milk will make about 1 scoop of ice cream, so double the recipe if you want more. But don't increase the proportions more that that -- a large amount might be too big for kids to pick-up because the ice itself is heavy.

Here's a video I got from Youtube, just in case you doubt we can all make ice-cream using a plastic bag.
