Time is passing so fast that I didn’t realize at all the fact that test is just around the corner. I’ve been so busy doing other unnecessary stuffs like comptuer, internets and deskmodding and other thingy I couldn’t even imagine myself until I almost forgotten the oncoming challenge.

Apart from all the worries that is surging me now, I somehow feel a bit happy deep inside my heart. Yesterday was the day I had experienced the most enjoyable experience in my life, despite of all the whacky stuffs that happened.

It was the slaughtering chicken practical day. In other words it’s the day where we had to slaughter chicken for halal food. I think only Agama schools have this practical where it’s compulsory for all the students to at least learn how to remove the chicken feathers.

It’s a good way to practise our skills in case if there are no other people who sell halal meat. I was being in charge for group 27. Being the leader, I was kindda nervous at first because I’ve never experienced such thing in my whole entire life.

The most slaughtering process I’ve seen was done on livestocks like cow. I mean really large and uncute ones. It’s not going to be that bad or should I say scary as livestocks are normally huge and aggressive that we hardly feel sympathy for them which is a must for the slaughtering qualification.

My fear had finally subsided after my teacher started to slaughter the first chicken. We were supposed to see the actual demonstration before actually doing it but the teacher of my group had started everything himself during the demonstration. I was baffled but couldn’t stop his desire for his first chicken (as mentioned, it was his first chicken too lol).

All I could do was to grab the chicken to help him keeping the chicken at ease. It’d be difficult to cut the chicken if it couldn’t stop panicking. It was quite easy to just hold the chicken stationary although the chicken was kindda stink (I was like so close to it), in spite of its cute chikenish looks lol.

The teacher started to tear its throat before circulating the knife around the neck to really make sure the appropriate and required arteris and veins were cut precisely without hurting the chicken.

According to Hukum Syara’ the slaughter act shall sever the trachea (halqum), oesophagus (mari’) and both the carotid arteries and jugular veins (wadajain) to hasten the bleeding and death of the animals.

The method of slaughtering an animal is that the four main arteries of its neck should be completely cut (jugular artery, food pipe, jugular vein and windpipe). It is not sufficient to split open these arteries or to cut off the neck. And the cutting of these four main arteries becomes practical when the cutting takes place from below the knot of the throat.

If a person cuts some of the four arteries and waits till the animal dies and then cuts the remaining arteries, it will be of no use. If the four arteries are cut before the animal dies, but the cutting was not continuous as is usually done, the animal is halal to eat. However, the recommended precaution is that they should be cut in continuous succession.

From what I’ve read, slaughter act in Islam does not hurt the animal. The trembling responses shown by the animals after the arteris and veins are cut are just the reflex response of the animal due to the loss of blood through the arteries and jugular vein which have been cut.

These are some information I got from the net:

1. The first three seconds from the time of Islamic slaughter as recorded on the EEG did not show any change from the graph before slaughter, thus indicating that the animal did not feel any pain during or immediately after the incision.

2. For the following 3 seconds, the EEG recorded a condition of deep sleep – unconsciousness. This is due to a large quantity of blood gushing out from the body.

3. After the above mentioned 6 seconds, the EEG recorded zero level, showing no feeling of pain at all.

4. As the brain message (EEG) dropped to zero level, the heart was still pounding and the body convulsing vigorously (a reflex action of the spinal cord) driving maximum blood from the body: resulting in hygienic meat for the consumer.

Finally it’s my turn and I did everything without any hesitation. I’d done observing my other friends slaughtering thos chickens and was quite confident with the location of each required arteries and veins. I slowly took the knife and commanded my other friends to help me held the chicken.

I moved the knife towards the neck of the chicken and started to cut it continuously by circulating the neck of the chicken and at the same time exerting more pressure until I could feel a hard surface (I think it’s the trachea lol, yeah I think lol.)

I was so busy cutting that I didn’t realize the blood had already started to spurt out and oozing below the ground. I mustn’t remove my hand during the cutting process because it must be in a continuous voluntary action lol.

I’m quite relieved as I’d fulfilled the required condition which is to make sure the arteries and veins had been cut properly. Otherwise we couldn’t eat the animal. Naqib had successfully made his first halal chicken! Come on, cheer for me!

It was a great and unforgettable experience although some might perceive it as terrifying. I think I can understand fully since it requires someone with a profound courage who can control his emotions during the process especially when the blood is spurting out *ahem*. Woots. Lol! I’m a blood lust

So eat of (meats) on which Allah’s name hath been pronounced, if ye have faith in His signs. (6:118)

P/S: I’d downloaded the latest Raihan album; Praises to the Prophet. I will upload them soon insya Allah

I’m officially done solving Dayana’s problems. It seems like many users posted questions in Malakat92 over the past days. Perhaps test is around the corner and continuous discussions are truly needed. There are many more stuffs that I should learn from them.

It’s Earth Hour today and I think I’m kindda proud of myself for doing my part as one of the nature lovers. I certainly supported the whole agenda by not using any electrical appliances throughout the period of time, not to mention how long I “suffered” for the loss of computer and hand phone.

The truth is, it’s all began when my parents suddenly got this insane ideas of fulfilling the campaign requirements but at the same time compensating our needs because we uh.. went shopping during Earth Hour! LOL

I think I was the one who made all the crazy ideas. I was joking about putting others irresponsible acts of going against the campaign into our advantages by going out of the house and do whatever stuffs a family who “loves” the nature would do. We shopped outside. Yeah, we truly did. LOL.

I’m still thinking that maybe at least we’ve done our part (in the case of not using electricity redundantly since we’re outside the house lol). I do believe there were still many people out there who didn’t really support the campaign fully.

I know some of you were busy with various stuffs. Students with tuitions and workers with the everlasting jobs. At least I could see awareness which is the most vital fundamental towards a successful campaign. It’s going to be easier if you have started rolling the ball. I’d read many discussions made in blogs and threads I visited and was surprised to see all the supports given by them.

Saving the earth is a lifelong effort. If we don’t start the first move now, we will never start saving the earth! You’d already started your first hour so let’s keep up the good work!

P/S: 1. I’d just finished watching Slumdog Millionaire, Yes Man and Bedtime Stories.
2. Found this book, Rindu Andalusia but was ambivalent with the language inside.

My massive Raihan collections *click*

It was a tiring day for me, at least it was. We had an extra class for Accounts because Mr. Sugu was trying to revise Dokumen which took us around 3 hours in class. Alhamdulillah I didn’t end up being overly exhausted since time somehow passed extraordinarily swift today.

Maybe it’s because I was being accompanied by my friend, Liao who was willing to be there for me lol (thanks yea) or maybe because of this good news that happened, which is also the reason why I’m so exuberantly high to blog about it now.

I feel so stupid and lame now as I have done something very bad throughout the years of being a secondary student. I was being unconscious or less sensitive about people around me (ahem) that I could actually overlook this special friend who has been with me throughout the years of ignorance.

She is an old friend whose name will not be mentioned here (it may cause misconception and blind accusation lol) whom I met during Accounts class. It happened that when I was busy moving through the congested chairs in Delta to get over a seat beside Liao, this girl who looked familiar, suddenly just passed through me to get another seat which was right beside me.

I helped her to lift up the detachable chair so that she can easily move in without her squeezing in so badly to get into the ample space. She thanked me and sat quietly before grumbling to her friend who was sitting in front of her for not booking her a seat lol.

Class went like normal before this stupid even took place. She was pointing my elbow with her pen and gestured my sight directly towards something she scribbled on her paper.

It’s stated there vividly “Do you still remember me?” This spontaneous action had struck a deep terror in my heart. My memory suddenly rushed backward, reminiscing all the events that took place in the past 11 years ago.

My brain suddenly interpreted various shocking image of her. The girl who I used to play with, the girl who I used to sit with, the girl who used to take photo with me, the girl who used to smile with me, the girl who used to cheer me. ZOMG! IT’S HER! My old kindergarten bestie! LOL.

I was so badly shocked that I answered her.. “You mean.. during kindergarten?” She was giggling and gave a reply, “Yeah!” I was surged with many emotions that caused me to be momentarily speechless. I asked her about her mum and other stuffs softly.

She replied me in a polite way, perhaps she enjoyed talking to me although my questions were mostly lame (still panic). The last thing that came into my mind was to ask for her number. With all the guts I had, I asked for her number solemnly without forgetting my puppy face lol.

She gave me without any reluctance which made me slightly curious whether if she does that to everyone lol but at the same time I was happy that I didn’t face any trouble during the whole whacky process. I was clueless about my action.

The urge of pondering many possibilities of not meeting her again had left me no other choice but to be extra brave during that period of time.The class was so noisy that I couldn’t hear anything when she spoke.

Surprisingly, she took her pen out and started to scribble something on my notes. Well, it was a clean shot with neat and clean writing. Together with her name was her number. After I saw what she’d written I was so over the moon!

I started to ask her about other friends’ numbers, friends who were in the same class during kindergarten last time after that as a strategy to distract her from pondering why do I even need her number lol.

I’m just hoping she won’t get me wrong with everything that happened. I was out of control. I couldn’t bare to lose her again. It was my golden chance! Trust me! Lol!

I’m so happy that we can finally keep in touch. I used to ask my mum where is she and yada2 things about her. Mum said she’s suspected her studying in STAJ which happened to be untrue.

She’s currently studying in Convent. I guess I’ve still got many things to dig from her She told me that she’s been with me since form 3 in Gerald and other Delta class. She realized me when Gerald mentioned my name but was shy to greet and introduce herself.

I asked her why and she told me that she’s a girl and a girl mustn’t start first. I’m practically happy and shocked with my total ignorance. I didn’t notice her all the while yet she’s there noticing me. I’m.. Baffled yeah, truly.

I certainly believe in faith. Gosh I have faith.

P/S: I’ve just changed my media player into iTunes which works way better than WMP. I just gave up with all the stupid features that WMP provides. I’ll be updating more about iTunes in my next post if time permits me, insya-Allah

Involuntary Action
For full preview click here.

A new shot by me. Took me almost days to finish glorifying my Vista desktop with the complicated Samurize configuration. Nanaj’s latest icons, Tenuis Petit have also made everything better I think this is one of my favourite shots after My Endowment (was said to be my best by Liau) Thank you so much

The Wasp Dead wallpaper is simply superb with its lighting and gloomy effect which I perceive have made a good job by blending the whole windows and other configurations nicely. My current shot is greatly inspired by Nanaj’s Last.fm and Yukihatsu’s My Interpretation. Owh yea, sorry for not blogging for quite some time. I’m currently busy with school, tuition and deskmodding.

I’m hoping if I could have more time to spend for other activities like cycling and other stuffs which a student in my batch would possibly do. But then I simply can’t resist the urge to customize my windows every time I bump into more sleek and beautiful Mac shots from users in deviantART.

I’m considering releasing Yukihatsu’s Miranda IM theme. Maybe I’d start with the whole descriptions, copyrights with the preview thingy tomorrow only if time permits me Currently there are 143 hits for the shot. Looking forward for me viewers. Cheers
