Sometimes

April 24th, 2010

Sometimes when you’re at your deepest sorrow, you’d just yearn to be alone and the only things that come into your mind are peace and tranquality. Sometimes when things don’t turn out the way you expected, the weak heart will only cry for hope and prayers.

I’m so much grateful that God has at least given me the chance to seek for His love and forgiveness. The trials that I’m facing might either be the chance to repent my forgotten sins or it might also be the chance to enhance my iman and taqwa.

I’d finally realized that no matter how hard you try if you’re just not destined to be in your desired pathway, it simply won’t happen no matter how hard you try and no matter how good you are. God will always have a better plan for you as verily He’s the best of all planners.

I’d promised to myself that I’ll continue to pray and rely fully my hope into Him. There isn’t much for me to do but to continue waiting and be patient. The only reason why I’m requesting all my friends to pray for me is because I’m aware that with their prayers we can together be successful in our lives and hereafter. May najah be with us insya Allah.

Just remember there is no reason to be sad with dunya. Comfort your sole with the promise of Jannah, our final destination, the place where the true victory is, and you shall be happy and grateful with whatever Allah has blessed you.

O Son of Adam verily you have three days. Yesterday and it has forsaken you, tomorrow and it has yet to arrive and today, so fear Allah and obey Him in it.

The Inevitable

March 8th, 2010

As I’ve always repeated this cliché awakening; the inevitable is coming soon. There is no other way to delay it even if you purge the hardest strength you could ever imagine; the inevitable is coming. The one and only result that will shake the world; your world. The advent is real.

The inevitable which will change your normal life style course, from the evil to the righteousness, from the lazy to the hardworking, from disbelieving to believing, from being lazy to qiam towards being a completely stranger.

Insya Allah, with His great blessings I reckon that all of us will prevail successfully in this battle; the battle which ones always overlook, the battle on how much knowledge and preparation you’d sought are no longer concerned but the battle towards attaining His attention, blessings and love.

May He place us among the Believers, Believers who seek Him in their prayers constantly; not only during harsh times, Believers who experience a tremendous terror in the heart upon their Lord and Believers who have a strong integrity and compassionate towards Muhammad bin Abdullah the greatest Teacher of all teachers.

May the coming SPM result be the witness on how steadfast our iman, taqwa and faith in Him. We had already done our part enlightening our wits and wisdom and now everything shall be decided by Him alone. Glory be to Him; Allah The Exalted.

“O you who believe! stand out firmly for Allah, as witnesses to fair dealing, and let not the hatred of any people make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice. Be just: that is next to piety: and fear Allah. For Allah is well-acquainted with all that you do.” (5:8)

Inspiration

January 4th, 2010

I just lost my sweet New Year post. Yeah, completely everything. Gah! This happened due to my frustration of an uncommon bug which caused my blog banner to disappear.

I’m so flustered that day that I removed some of my older posts as an experimental. After I made several thorough trials and erros, I found out a solution. I turned off all my Lightbox plugins and everything finally worked like a charm. These plugins had been causing troubles all the way round even though I’d already tried the other version. Futile.

Forgetting to make backups, I lost entirely the whole post and ironic as it could be, the post was actually obtained from a Facebook comment which sums out all my miseries of attaining it back.

Forgetting my dismay, I think I’m currently suffering from a disease called the morning insomnia whereby I’m having difficulty to doze off now after my Subuh prayers. Although it’s what I’m supposed to do (despite of me calling it as a disease, yeah my bad), I am quite shocked with the change that pulverizes my normalcy.

So right now I’m basically still stuck up in front of the computer and playing Facebook. What a boring morning. Please, inspiration!

Before I forget, to those using Blogspot out there, I certainly think that you should at least make the comment box more appealing. I just got so pissed off when commenting to Blogspot blogs. Seriously guys.

Not to mention the annoying captcha, sometimes the blog owners don’t even provide the name and website option! How on earth am I going to comment that way? Log in to my Blogspot / Google account? No way man.

Please consider my suggestion. Turn that feature on. Otherwise I will just lose my appetite and vomit every time I drop by. It’s not like I hate reading your blog (I could still tolerate that flashing and eye killing small fonts and glitters) but please, be kind enough to your readers!

Please don’t blame me a snobbish when this happens. Thank you and regards.

P/S: Just got a little bit emo back then. But now me okay! Haha. Just a stupid ramble though.

Deskmodding Tutorial part 1 : Changing Icon

January 4th, 2010

1. Changing Desktop Icons.

First of all you must know how add icons on your desktop. The easist way is to change your default shortcuts icon on your desktop with any .icos. But for a real hardcore mods, I’d recommend you to use Avedesk. Avedesk provides a smoother and sleeker icons but most importantly it supports other image formats like .pngs as well. So this eases up our customization process. Download Avedesk 1.4 here.

1.1 Default Ways.

I could say this is the easiest one whereby most of the users should know how to.

Right click on your desktop shortcut and choose “Properties”.

4

Select “Change Icon”.

5

Select “Browse”.

6

Make sure that the icon that you choose in this method be in .ico format. If you have other icons in other formats let’s say .png, you can simply convert them into .ico by converting them using this website. Click here. Otherwise, just proceed to the next step.

7

And you’re done :)

1.2 Using Avedesk.

Avedesk will actually ease up all the troubles. The only thing is that you need to install the software accordingly. Download Avedesk 1.4 and paste it inside the folder C:\Program Files.

aa

Make sure you open the “register” file before opening “Avedesk”. Once everything is done proceed to the next step.

Download my default settings for the hard disk here.

1

And the documents settings here.

8

1

You should have something like this. Open the .avedesk theme file.

2

Next right click on the theme.

3

This empty icon will appear on your desktop. If it doesn’t, try to adjust the x and y configuration according to your desktop as follow. This is my default desktop configuration. The values vary depending on your desktop.

ddd

Now;

4

Select the “Icon” tab and then click on the “Set Image” button to select your icon.

5

Select your icon and hit “Open”. Note that by using Avedesk you can actually open both .png and .ico icons. So that’s quite handy over there.

6

Then press on the “Shortcut” tab and follow the instructions.

7

… And wahla, your first icon! :)

Waiting for Ideas

December 29th, 2009

Normally before I even started writing a post the first thing that comes into my mind is that what will I be writing about? Will this be another stupid ramble of mine or will it be something beneficial to others?

Many stumble upon this question and started to crap about anything without considering the title or the idea that they should follow. Maybe something like misguided while rambling or simply lack of ideas.

I still remember last time when I was about to post a new entry in my blog a sudden idea suddenly rushed into my spine towards my brain. All I did was adjusting here and there from the older post to manifest another so-called more genuine idea which turned out to be worse.

I could notice some parts where I rambled about my life were sandwiched between lines of me talking about games and internets.

I think this is why I am never good at blogging. I can’t seem to arrange my words properly and the thought of conveying the idea itself has already been a big failure.

I hope that this time that will not happen, otherwise my number of reader counts will not be a blast anymore (although it never happened lol).

Things have gone quite obsolete these days. All my plans turn out pretty bad. It seems like nature has taken control on me making me unable to even fulfill my tasks. Most of my time is wasted in front of the PC especially when I’m unaware of my surrounding and the time I’m wasting.

I’m not sure if this is happening to everyone coz this does happen to me all the time. I will wish and pray that I’d be doing something good or at least cherish my free time after the exam month at one point but ironically when everything is over all my plans are simply ignored.

Is this a form of a disease or I am simply creating one? It reminds me of a hadith narrated by Abdullah bin Abbas (Radiallau Anhu). He reports that Rasulullah said,

“There are two bounties of Allah wherein most people are deceived, health and free time”.

The questions is, am I being the hypocrites by letting my guard down to be deceived by my own wealth or I simply play ignorant about my surrounding and let nature to take toll on me? Well, are we in the same group?

Anyway, my next post will be profoundly on the art of deskmodding. I will try my best to guide you towards achieving a desktop just like mine.

Lazy Plans

December 21st, 2009

Being subconscious about my environment, I with all my might woke up really early today with the hope that I could continue my passion in blogging. I must stop procrastinating with more lame excuses of being totally blank every time I open my blog lol.

Although SPM has already over just for the past few days, I’ve never really got the chance to blog, well, considering how busy I were with the activities I myself couldn’t comprehend. I was busy going for shopping spree with family and another cliché answer from me, my one and only possible activity; internet online chat.

Until now I haven’t even planned what should I be doing during this long and devastating school holidays. This perhaps will be my longest break ever after the previous year where we had a combo break with Raya. Everything seemed like infinity but slowly grasped the fact that all the joy had already ended last year.

I know I’ve been very lazy to the extent that I don’t even ponder to take a paper and start scribing those plans that I should be doing. These would be the stuffs that I’d dumped inside my head while I could still think rationally. Some of my activities that I’ve already planned include:

1. Finishing all my novel collections in my book rack.
2. Reviving my enthusiast in anime. There’s a list of them.
3. Blogging.
4. Anything which isn’t related to working. Duh.

I think I did mention that I went for shopping spree didn’t I? It actually turned out well coz I’d finally bought some new gears after a long period of being succumbed in the nerd zone. We went to Pyramid which was merely meant to buy my stuffs alone. So I ended up buying a pair of Nike shoes and 5 new tees. Huah2.

To all my Malakat92 friends, I know it has been a great years being with you guys and meeting you people has always been my top priority. But I’m sad to say that, due to some technical errors and what’s not, I don’t.. think I could make it to our next gathering or at least it will never happen.

Woo, please don’t cry and beg me for reasons. Don’t ask me why, really for my crying heart is weak enough to tell you or otherwise it’d shatter to thousands of miseries! :(

This would be quite lame, but I actually just watched Saw VI! It was awesomeness! The wait has finally over and the killing of guilty people is continued! Hehe. These are some quotes by Jigsaw that I like:

“Once you see death up close, then you know what the value of life is.”
“You think it’s the living who will have ultimate judgment on you, because the dead will have no claim over your soul.”

The Final Breath

December 16th, 2009

The true battle lies beyond our comprehension. The resolution after the battle of faith. The battle when everyone has gone faltered after a long silence, a battle when the remembrance of Allah is far gone, the battle when everyone has forgotten the one True Faith. I shall pray for our steadfast in believing the concept of consistency in iman and taqwa insya Allah and may najah be with us.

Enabling Genie Effectt in Ubuntu

November 24th, 2008

If I’m not mistaken the original Genie Effect in Ubuntu has been removed due to certain regulations made by Apple. As far as Ubuntu is concerned, nothing is impossible. I’ve found an easy way to enable back Genie Effect in our CCSM animation and the whole plrocess is pretty simple though.

1. Use Hex editor to open “/usr/lib/compiz/libanimation.so”

2. Find “magic_lamp_max_waves”, look for following “<min>3</min>”, change “3″ to “0″

3. Save, Close

4. Use Text Editor to open “/usr/share/compiz/animation.xml”

5. Find “magic_lamp_max_waves”, look for following “<min>3</min>”, change “3″ to “0″

6. Save, Close

7. Restart GDM if the 3D desktop is currently running.

8. Set Minimization effect to “Magic Lamp”, change Max Waves to “0″

P/S: To become root, you must type those following lines in Terminal

sudo nautilus for the program file

sudo ghex2 for the Hex Editor

sudo gedit for the Text Editor
