Differing views...

Sometimes we agree and sometimes we disagree with others' views. It is possible that both of us are wrong even though we agree to a point of view.So, I think it is good to consider others' views even though we disagree with them.If it is possible, we should ask them why, so that we may check our own views.

This afternoon, I went for  a business appointment at KLCC Tower One.I took this rare  opportunity to snap a few photos of the garden.The view of KLCC garden  from the high tower is different from at the bottom.It will also differ depending on where you are located (horizontally or vertically) and the time of the day...The views may also differ if the eyes  are defective or using telescopic lenses.

If we are looking only from the top, we may see the garden but not the bees sitting on the flowers. To really see the real issues,we must  see from differing perspectives and also at different times. At times, we  only see what we want to see,so it is good to ask others what they see.

Below are three photos taken from three different locations/elevations of the lake at KLCC garden:

iTunes 4.9

I have just downloaded iTunes 4.9. Here is what is new and I think it is cool:

"What's new in iTunes 4.9
With iTunes 4.9, you can now browse and subscribe to podcasts from within the iTunes Music Store. Podcasts are frequently updated radio-style shows downloadable over the Internet. You can also transfer podcasts to iPod, for listening on the go."

Enjoy the music and the podcasts:-)

Wireless keyboard

Lately,when I am not at home or in the office,I use this wireless keyboard to write.It costs less than RM 200 and it helps me to type a bit faster compared to using the keypad on my pda.

To me, keypad is good enough for text messages but if I want to write a longer note,this infra-red keyboard is quite convenient.

Since ten years ago, I have inculcated the habit of carrying a small notebook wherever I am. I love to write a short note of what I see or I hear. At the same time,I also write what I feel. Even though I started using this pda thing since 1998, I still carry my little notebook around.Old habit dies hard.

Taking note is a good habit because I tend to forget if I don't write it down. At the same time, I can refer it later as and when I need to.

PS: I prefer small notebooks manufactured by Japanese companies.The are really cute:-)

This is a Netbook,using Epoch5 OS(now Symbian).It is an organiser, a mini notebook computer and can access Internet. I love to write notes or stories with it.

Stand firm

Last week, our Kuliah Subuh guru talked about these two ayats from Surah Hud. He told us that our Prophet said that reading Surah Hud make our hairs go white.It needs a lot of thinking.Please check the tafseer of these two ayats and ponder:-

11:112	Therefore stand firm (in the straight Path) as thou art commanded,- thou and those who with thee turn (unto God); and transgress not (from the Path): for He seeth well all that ye do.
11:113	And incline not to those who do wrong, or the Fire will seize you; and ye have no protectors other than God, nor shall ye be helped.

From my observations,it is a 'fight' all the way in order to remain on the straight path.As we move along, there are internal and external distractions and seductions to lure us to deviate from the straight path. We need strong iman,patience and help from Allah swt to remain in the straight path.
