"Having solved the question of 'how' to make a living, having surrounded ourselves with unthinkable luxuries-air conditioned comfort,CD quality sound,and fresh fruit year round-we are left to wonder 'why' we live.Why run this rat race?What's the point?"
-David G.Myers,professor of psychology at Hope College,Holland,Michigan,USA
Hurmm..How would u answer the questions raised by this professor??
According to the World Values Survey,one of the largest studies of human values ever conducted,a growing numb of people in many countries are thinking about "the meaning and the purpose of life".
So where can you find the reliable answers to these important questions??
1.Where did we come from?
2.What is the purpose of life?
3.What does the future hold?
I'm not gud in writing serious piece of entry coz i am much preferred a light and easy one.And asalnya takdela expect people wud come to visit my blog except for people who are close to me and knew my attitude camne..but uhhh..wutodo...kantoi..so sy akan berusaha!(a hint to someone ekceli)
So hari ni,saya akan buat something beyond my norm sket, ie di luar tabi'eku..kuikui!I'm gonna make a review on a Christian's magazine,THE WATCHTOWER.Tadaaaa..so this is the magz.Huh,dah hancur dapat kat cik intan. Untuk link ke websitenya pulak,boleh klik sini.
This is the magazine that John gave me when I tried to promote him to attend IAW's activities.The purpose of the magazine is to honor Jehovah God,the supreme ruler of the universe,and shows the significance of the world events in the light of Bible prophecies.It promotes faith in Jesus Christ,who died so that "we" might gain everlasting life and who is now ruling as King's of God's Kingdom..hohoho..and furthermore,it comforts people with the good news that God's Kingdom ,which is a real government in heaven,will soon bring an end to all wickedness and transform the Earth into a paradise...and guess wut,this magazine has been published by Jehovah's witnesses ie Christian punye olang,continuously since 1879 and is nonpolitical..huuu,orang Islam camne??Kita kena kerja lagi kuat dari diorang k??Frankly speaking,I'm really impressed dengan usaha diorg nk "mentarbiyah" dan menarik orang untuk memahami ajaran Bible.Dalam magazine kecik ni,banyakla jugak dia cerita tentang gerakerja diorag untuk menyampaikan ajaran Christianity kepada masyarakat..

In 1999,a new building program was born.Kingdom Hall Construction Groups began to be formed throughout Mexico,which consist of about 8 volunteers both men and women working full time without charge.Each volunteer works 8 hours a day from Monday to Friday as well as Saturday.And the day starts at 7am with a discussion of Bible text,after the breakfast is served..ahaaa,diorang pun ada usrah and tadabbur kitab jugak tau!and I think their efforts nak bina places of worship and semangat kerjasama diorg ni are very impressive!!Kagum2~Semangat seperti inilah yang kita perlukan to unite all the Muslims across the globe and kembalikan Islam ke haknya..
I was also attracted to some articles in the magazine which questions about our purpose of life,and then provide evidence of what God has said in Bible about this.Saya juga agree with them that we are not mechanical machines,and we should have a clearly defined purpose in life..
The mag further clarifies that the Bible teaches that mankind is a direct creation of God.We are not the product of uncaring,mindless evolution..[NOTE:Darwinism theory should and must be refuted!!!visit Harun Yahya's website for further info on this theory]It also teaches that Jehovah God had a specific purpose for man and woman when He created them.
Genesis 1:28. "Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it,and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the Earth"
Ecclesiastes 12:13. "The conclusion of the matter,everything have been heard,is:Fear the true God and keep his commandments.For this is the whole obligation of man".
Micah 6:8. "What is Jehovah asking back to from you but to exercise justice and to love kindness and be modest in walking with your God?"
Matthew 22:37-39. "You must love your Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and your whole mind.This is the greatest and first commandment.The second,like it,is this,'You must love your neighbour as yourself."
See?Banyak benda yang kita boleh belajar from diorang to understand them..
I try to compare the Bible teachings with al Quran teachings,the commandments given direct from Allah SWT or Jehovah,(as called by Christians) to prophet Muhamad SAW PBUH.CHRISTIANS and Muslims have one striking thing in common: they are both “people of the book”. And they both have an obligation to spread the Word—to get those Holy Books into the hands and hearts of as many people as they can. (The Jews, the third people of the book, do not feel quite the same obligation.) But for Muslim we believe that Allah gives His promise that Islam is the only true religion on Earth and the contents of the al Quran will not be change until the day of resurrection unlike the Bible and Taurat,which their authenticities are not guaranteed.
"and if you are in doubt concerning that which We reveal to Our slave(Muhammad),then produce a surah of the like of it.And call your witness besides Allah if you are truthful.And if you do it not-and you can never do it-then gurad yourselves against the fire prepared for disbelievers ,whose fuel is of men and stones."(2:23-24)
and yeah,if we tadabbur the Quran,our purpose of life is mentioned via these 2 verses..
"I created jin and humankind only that they might worship Me"(51:56)
"and when your Lord says to the angels:I am about to place a viceroy on the Earth,they said:will you in it one who will do harm in it and will shed blood,while we ,we hymn Your praise and sanctify You?He said:Surely I know that which you know not."(2:30)
Quoted from Sahih Al Bukhari:
Narrated Anas Radiallahuanh:The Prophet SAW said,"Whoever possesses the following 3(qualities) will have the sweetness(delight) of faith:
1.The one whom Allah SWT and His Messenger(Muhammad SAW) become dearer than anything else
2.Who loves a person and he loves him only for Allah's sake
3.Who hates to revert to atheism(disbelief) as he hates to be thrown into the fire."
These two religions both promote peace and good deeds,but there should be only one religion that is true and syumul for everybody.Fikir-fikir,dan renung-renungkan..and,what else should I say??...I love Prophet Jesus tooo...but it's because I'm a MUSLIM..
Narrated Muawiyah RA in a khutbah(religious talk):I heard Messenger SAW said ,"If Allah wants to do good to a person,He makes him comprehend the religion(the understanding of the Quran and the Sunna(legal ways of the Prophet SAW)."
So,let's not be afraid to learn what the Christians are thinking..instead of turning yourself away from them(some people are afraid that they might get influence,some are afraid because they are not able to answer things about religion effectively) ,why not befriend and mingle with them,and share what u know about Islam with them.U have lots of things to share,ain't u??But take note,do more of sharing rather than preaching..these two are different ways of making dakwah to people.

Dah lama rasanya t tulis entry baru...Being occupied as always.Lebih tepat,'m not gud in managing my time wisely like some other people,haha!(ade unsur2 jeles disini).But at least,eventhough I may not be gud in organizing myself,I guess i'm pretty gud in certain areas..such as..ermmm..babbling perhaps??hehe..(not relevant at all intan darling)..But yeah,always remember that Allah itu Maha Adil and Maha Bijaksana..He provides you all the required tools needed to help you face the challenges and trials in life;and that includes the al Quran and the prophet's sunnah.So ladies and gentlemen,it's up to u to decide on how are u going to use these tools,and deal with the problems based on your circumstances..either nak gunakannya untuk berbakti kepada diri dan ummat ataupun hanya berpeluk tubuh sahaja tanpa menghiraukan apa yang berlaku disekeliling...(like wut most of people did,huhhh~)
Sekarang orang dok sibuk pasal SPM,BIASISWA after SPM,ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING,and EASTER HOLS!
wehehhe..especially to my bro,Junaidee aka Mat D yang baru lepas ambil result SPM '07,congrats dik!As expected,you surpass my SPM result..but I don't think it's appropriate/necessary to compare our results,lebih2 lg bila mengingatkan saya tido time semua paper SPM except AddMaths.I know,I know...I'm very t senonoh before this,kuikui..and you are such a good boy(and manja!and t matured!lalala~).Saya bersyukur awak t mewarisi gene saya sgt,lol =P
To Adik Hafiz,Saidin,Kamarul and Farisham..congrats u guys!!(hurmmm,sume laki..budak2 gurls camne agaknya?).Especially Farisham,I'm so proud of u dik..alhamdulillah,t sangka dapat best student Kelantan.Mantap!Saya plak yang excited lebih2 bila dengar result korang,hehe..Bersemangat saya nk balik Malaysia and congratulate u guys depan2..selamat maju jaya dalam meneruskan perjalanan hidup korang yang masih panjang.and do pursue ur dreams with passion..DON'T LET OTHER PEOPLE MAKE DECISIONS FOR U.LET U DECIDE IT FOR URSELF SO THAT U WON'T HAVE ANY REGRET LATER ON...
Pasal biasiswa etc..saya menyarankan rakan2/adik2 untuk ziarah website yg baru dilancarkan a few days yg lepas ini..make full use of it yea?:http://education.iluvislam.com/news.php.Thanks to ImKoyube and d gangs!Credit to Aqilah Hodori and Akmal Amri too as Education Officers utk website iluvislam..bravo!!
Ermmm..pasal AGM pulak,I attended Nottingham Malaysian Society je,coz untuk Nottingham Islamic Society's AGM,clash ngan kelas gamelan plak...frust jugak,but gamelan's class is my routine every Thursday evening,so it's in my schedule of life already.Kalo dah masuk dalam schedule,tu maknanya ia merupakan satu perjanjian.and kalo dah berjanji tu,maksudnya kena ditepati..(tapi kalau x datang kelas tu camne plak?hehe..astaghfirullah intan..bawak bertaubat).
Pasal AGM ni,intan sangat geram and hot jugakla dengan a few people ni.Some yg datang,they did suggest superb ideas for future improvement for the society,but what I don't like is how they address their queries and suggestions.So not professional at all!!Sifat kesopanan dan kesusilaan serta tolak ansur entahla dicampakkan ke mana...sigh~Patutla t ramai yang berani nak run for the positions.And wut made me more geram is because they did comparisons,besar2kan benda yg remeh,and keep whining and condemning people.Expecting the former committee to be perfect,haiyoo...that's impossible la..But if u look on the bright side,since the Q & A questions are so tough and harsh,people really pk thoroughly to ensure that they choose the right person to run the comittees..alhamdulillah,that's the gud pointla...Overall,the AGM seemed to be sangat scary..but somehow interesting!Coz u can see people arguing each other giving interesting comments and valid reasons sampai my kepala pun naik pening and sakit..haha!Oh,how dramatic~
I was informed that there are people who nominated me as General Secretary for ISOC.alhamdulillah I was honored when people put trust on me.At first rasa 50-50,berat kepada nk tolak,sbb saya mmg takde perasaan pun nk pegang any jawatan dalam Badan Umum memandangkan thn depan dah last year.Alasan:saya dah pegang beberapa jawatan dalam organisasi yang lain and nak kalau boleh nk lebih fokus on my study.Pastu,I talk to this one fren,dia kata saya perlu run untuk jawatan tu sbb ISOC t cukup tenaga kerja and ia penting untuk pembangunan individu..waaaa,dia psiko intan jap!T pasal rasa bersalah...But ade sorg kawan lagi cakap,"Ko mampu x?And do u want this position??"Huhhh..takleh duduk diam memikirkan halni.But alhamdulillah,Allah helped me again..langit yang mendung Dia cerahkan.I have refute/reject the position because I don't want to run it atas sebab mengikut kehendak kawan2.No,I won't do that anymore...Keterpaksaan hanya akan mengundang sengsara yang akhirnya bernanah dihati,and infect other areas as well..I'm not trying to be selfish,but I guess I can't help it..I want to do things passionately..and betulkan niat kerana Allah SWT,bukannya sbb kesian kat ISOC,kemahuan kawan or etc..Niat yang salah,hanya akan menyukarkan lagi keadaan..
But no worries,even sy refuse to run for the position,that doesn't mean I won't get involved with the ISOC and won't help them to organize activity anymore..I'm a person wh
o don't need positions in order to do work.I'm a kind of person who wud rather do things voluntarily without having associated with any position,or having engage with deadlines etc...I will find work,and do it in my own way..in the way that I think I can contribute most to society..insyaAllah..mungkin ini cara terbaik yang saya dapat fikirkan so far untuk mengelakkan gejala futur..anda bagaimana??hehe.. So,for those people who have put high hope and trust for me before this,thank you so much for ur confidence and faith in me.However,there are other things that are better suits me..u may advise or influence me,but saya dah tanak pisang berbuah dua kali...let me do things dengan keinginan yang datang dari deep down inside my heart,so that I can be more focus and give my fullest energy in everything I do..
Doakan..

Something to make us all think.Forwarded by a friend from Dublin,Ireland.Jzkk
Mobile Phone vs. Quran
I wonder what would happen if we treated our Quran like we treat our mobile phones?
What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
What if we flipped through it several times a day?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
What if we gave it to kids as gifts?
What if we used it as we travelled?
What if we used it in case of an emergency?
This is something to make you go ...hmm...where is my Quran?
Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our mobile phone, we don't ever have to worry about our Quran being "disconnected or unavailable" !
Makes you stop & think ,"where are my priorities?"

WARNING: NO ONE WATCHES THIS VIDEO WITHOUT A TEAR IN THE EYE
This video makes me wonder;
How come I always forgot about them??
There have been so many sufferings and outcries across the globe to bring back the caliphate system like before,yet what have I done to contribute to the revival of the ummah??Is it enough???(tengah emo,mtk maap)
How long am I going to sit back and relax,and allow this 'crazy' people rape our sisters and mothers? Let our children to be slaughtered?(i don't have any children rite now,but will be in the future,insyaAllah) and our resources to be plundered?
Only now I realize that I have wasted so much time,including my youth -heyya, definitely we're getting older,arent we?(sigh)

I am so upset...for how ungrateful I am towards His blessings..praise to You,the one and Only God...forgive me.Make me stronger both internal and externally and help me to answer the call of my muslim's brothers and sisters.InshaAllah

Thanks to Hareez @ Arih a.k.a Defmafia for introducing me this song.Tak pasai asyik nak dengar lagu ni jerk sekarang.Lagu ni dinyanyikan oleh M Nasir while liriknya ditulis oleh Loloq(kot).The song is not only beautifully written but dia ada maksud tersirat yang nak disampaikan..which intan sendiri t dapat nak interprete sepenuhnya due to my limited BM vocabs,haha~
(kelantanese)
dan kalau begitu aku berjanji
(kelantanese)
Keronsang terlekat kerana peniti
ps:yeah..if u wonder..I am a Kelantanese..
(kelantanese)
tabik sikik bjale pengasuh
kalau banyak blari
arok tibo menuju
ai di pade luah sejano.. pade.. che wea..
Rindu menikam dek cinta Sita
Hilang bekas hilang sisa amarah
Bongkar akar bongkar mimpi Suralaya
Datang bingung berpaulan diambang yuda
Ajak menung bawah panji wilmana
Apa hikmah tersemat di balik perintah!
(kelantanese)
Temu hulu hilir menyusur
Adat hidup temukan mati
Jangan tuan duk nengung sugul (terus masygul)
Adat wira haruh tehe uji
dan kalau begitu aku berjanji
Hadapan teman ku yang berperkerti tinggi
Titian takdir seruncing manapun ku seberangi
Di mulut naga gemala sakti terkunci
Kan ku sambar ku rampas jadikan bukti
(kelantanese)
c/o :Langge Dogo langge keramat
Bisik-bisik dale kelambu
Lagok bodo tapi bersengat
bele ngelik (Sambil elak) dia main siku
Riwayat bermula dari dahulu
Pandang belakang tersangatlah jauh
Perlu menyilang irama dengan lagu
Kapal belayar usah dilabuhkan sauh !
Asal debu pasti pulang ke debu
Dari tegap bertimbuh baik rebah merempuh
(kelantanese)
Bersambunglah litar (petir) dentung dente
Hujan tak turun laut berlimpaheaghalik
(Asyik) merancang dendam sribu male
koho sie koho bergando rawea(Siang menerang semakin berganda rawan)
Keronsang terlekat kerana peniti
Hujung pelangi pula sebabkan igauan
Tidak terlintas nyawa dipertaruhkan dikandung badan !
Sesaat berangan terlepaslah habuan
Ikan tak dapat umpan pula hilang
ps:yeah..if u wonder..I am a Kelantanese..

Assalamualaikum..just nk share this article from
.I think the author of the blog is so cool,for he dan some of his friends are willing to work hard for rakyat.They came out with 2 documents:The People's Voice and The People's Declaration that reflects rakyat's hopes and aspirations for the country.The author sent copies of both documents to all BN component parties and to DAP, PAS, PKR and PSM with the the expressed hope that these parties would adopt the aspirations declared by the rakyat in these documents as the way forward for our nation.By Saturday, 16th February, PKR, DAP, PAS, PSM, MDP and PASOK had confirmed their endorsement of The People’s Declaration.
Kat bawah sume nih actually intan copy straight from his blog..muahah!!Senang citer,tak perlu ulas panjang-panjang.Yang penting,u guys...think wisely before you vote coz this involves everyone's future..beres eh??
___________________________________________________________________
Received this in the mail a little while ago. The document is dated 8th January, 2008.
Don’t know who the author is, but I think this article is timely.
It addresses several concerns directed to me by e-mail from readers.
____________________________________
Most non-Muslims, when you ask them about PAS, probably fear them more than they fear the evil BN. That fear is not entirely misplaced, because of PAS’ previously stated ambitions to make this country into an Islamic state. But I would say, non-Muslims should fear the BN more, especially since BN is no longer an equal coalition, but one that is led by UMNO and UMNO Youth, followed by “dan lain lain”. In a bid to out-Islam the PAS, we have got UMNO politicians releasing statements to try to show the Kelantanese voters that they are also very strong in Islam. In the near term, non-Muslims should certainly fear BN more since BN has all the power, and PAS has limited power.
First, UMNO politicians claim that this country is an Islamic country, just to win some votes.
Then, Badawi introduces Islam Hadhari, which honestly, could probably have just come out from a Pendidikan Moral textbook.
Recently, Najib promises Kelantan that the government will build many many mosques, and will turn Kelantan into an Islamic civilization hub. How that will help Kelantan, he didn’t say. And whatever an Islamic civilization hub really means, I don’t know either.
Right now, it seems like in UMNO’s zealousness to prove their Islamic credentials and win back
control of Kelantan, the interests of non-Muslims in this country has been ignored or sidelined. So if it came down to it during the elections, if it’s BN vs. PAS for the parliamentary seat, how would you vote?
Perhaps this letter from Richard Teo, taken from Lim Kit Siang’s blog can open up some eyes.
Yes the tide is turning in Kelantan but certainly not in favour of BN but for PAS. As a Kelantanese I can safely tell Najib the true current political situation in Kelantan. How could Zubaidah Abu Bakar speculate in the 6th Jan.2008 NST that “there are many in Kelantan who want to see a change of government”?
This is farthest from the truth. The Malay psyche in Kelantan is vastly different from the psyche of Malays from the other states. The Malays in Kelantan are astute when it comes to politics. That explains why it is the only Malay state where the opposition party other than UMNO has ruled for a substantial period since Merdeka.
During BN’s tenure, pork sellers in the Chinese market were harrassed daily . They were confined to a small inconspicous space where pork could be sold hidden from public view. There was conditional and restricted time when pork could be sold. When PAS took over the government in 1990, they improved the Chinese market and pork was sold without any restrictions . In short they were not harrassed.
Again, during BN’s tenure, Chinese could not buy houses built on Malay reservation land . Since most of the land come under the purview of Malay reservation, most Kelantanese Chinese could not own a home. But all these changed when PAS came to power.
Under the able DUN of Kota Bharu, Dato Annuar Tan, 30% of houses built on Malay reservation
land were allocated for sale to the Kelantan Chinese. Any doubts where the Chinese loyalty lies can easily be dispelled by visiting the Chinese enclave in Jalan Kebun Sultan. Ask any Chinese business community there and they will brazenly tell you that they will vote for PAS. Yes the Chinese votes in Kelantan are solidly behind PAS.
It is also a fact that the Chinese miniority’s vote in Kelantan are insignificant and confined to only few seats where their votes are crucial for victory or loss. But in a state where a lot of seats are won and lost by a handful of votes this becomes immensely important where in the final analysis the fate of the government could merely depend on the margin of one or two seats.
The Malays in Kelantan were generous in giving Pak Lah a resounding victory in 2004. But this was partly due to PAS over-zealous Islamic reforms which persuaded the Malays to vote for Pak Lah’s Islam Hadhari. Further they were captivated by Pak Lah’s assurance of tackling corruption which was beginning to be rampant in all branches of the government. But alas, Pak Lah was a disappointment. Instead he took it as an opportunity for his relatives and family to plunder the nation’s wealth by giving contracts to his son and son-in law.
There is a saying among the Malays in Kelantan that UMNO can fool the Malays in the other states with their rhetoric of ‘Ketuanan Melayu’ but they cannot fool the Malays in Kelantan . They are aware that BN has introduced many programmes and development projects.
According to Datuk Annuar Musa “RM2 billion worth of projects are flowing into the state”. But the local malays will ask you who are the beneficiaries of these projects? Yes, its the UMNO cronies and the UMNO connected politicians who will secure all the major contracts.
Of late, the sprinkling of Indians are also behind PAS not due to Hindraf’s effort but because of the awareness that it was under PAS rule that a prominent land in Jalan Hamzah was approved for the Hindus to build a temple when the same approval was rejected by BN four times before.
Because of centuries of close proximity of Kelantan to Thailand and the close rapport between the Chinese and the Kelantanese Malays, the local Malays are not only intelligent and well-versed in commerce but they are very conversant with local and federal politics. This perhaps explain why UMNO with their brand of politics can never fool the Kelantan Malays.
In the coming general election BN will not only lose in Kelantan it will lose as badly as in 1990. This is not only a fact, it is a promise.
So how? Can BN count on your vote? Or would you take a chance on PAS, to deny BN the chance to ruin this country further?

ISLAMIC AWARENESS WEEK 2008
Spice Girls??
Time ni pk nak contribute jek selagi boleh..cukup2la rasanya tengok orang lain je buat kerja,while kita sit back and relax.ehe,x gitu??....so I started bekerja by distributing flyers about IAW to people.Terasa kecuakan di tahap super jugakla sebab saya still struggle to overcome inferiority complex dalam diri ini.Perhaps,it's due to my limitation in English.But actually,being white or good in english doesnt mean that they are superior than me.They are just normal human being ,have specialties and weaknesses cam kita that requires improvement everyday.and alhamdulillah...I manage to overcome my fear by taking this first step!
Yang paling tak boleh dilupakan are my conversations with John,a Christian student who did a study on Prophet Moses,Jesus,and Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Them) and my meetings with 2 postgraduates from Iraq.John gave me his magazine about Christianity while for Saad and his other friend..erm..I'm trying my best to cheer them up,and also give them encouragement not to give up ad work harder in life.Sangat sedih bila dia tanya Intan kenal Iraq or not,and when I said I do..dia cakap semua orang kenal Iraq sebab peperangan..I just can't bear to see their sad faces.sigh~eventhough sekarang Iraq masih dalam keadaan kacau bilau kerana komplot jahat Si Bush yang celaka,let us never forget that satu ketika dahulu Iraq(Baghdad specifically) pernah menjadi pusat pengumpulan dan penyebaran ilmu serata dunia..mashaAllah.Jadi,sama-samalah kita berjihad untuk meletakkan Islam kembali kepada haknya yang sebenar..

REAWAKENING:UNEARTHING THE WISDOM TO CHANGE THE WORLD
This programme aims to gather,coordinate and organise a reading based programme outside Malaysia.The group is an extension programme of the already established J4DE(Journey For The End),another fikrah oriented programme done by Bridges(formerly known as Guidance and Counselling Club of Mara College Banting).Such a clever,untypical programme,I would say.Antara mereka yang terlibat adalah Azzam Tamimi,a Palestinian-Briton academic,Yvonne Ridley-a British-born award winning journalist,and Sheikh Muhammad Afifi al-Akiti,a Malaysian born Research Fellow in Islamic Philosophy & Theology at the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies.Wut can I say??Speakernya sangat famous dan sangat-sangat bagus!!and I'm desperately eager to join the programme!!Huwaa,t sabar!!Jzklh kepada saudara Safwan selaku director of the programme kerana memperkenalkan saya dengan programme ini and willing to reserve a seat for me.Sesiapa yang berminat nak menyertai programni,bolehla melayari blog ini: http://reawakening.wordpress.com/ . It's on 21-24th March kat Sheffield.If ade pape pertanyaan or masalah,boleh cakap kat Intan k.Intan boleh tolong jadi orang tengah,and talk to the pengarah =)
iluvislam
i've been invited to become the article reviewer for the website.In other words,I'm offered to become part of the team.This is such an honor,thanks to Im and the gang sebab memberi kepercayaan untuk intan bekerjasama dgn korang.The team need more muslimat,which I forgot to ask why..ehe!Mungkin untuk menyeimbangkan AJK2 iluvislam yang kebanyakannya dipelopori oleh golongan Adam.Maka muslimat memainkan peranan penting untuk identify and provide artikel yang bersesuaian dengan minat golongan Hawa..wallahualam,suka sukije cik intan membuat teori sendirian berhad,haha!!Apa-apapun insyaAllah intan akan berikan komitmen yang terbaik untuk manfaat semua..
aihhh..kata nk tulis pendek jek,but it always turn out to be like this!lol,daa~
