  Downhill at Puncak Janing

  MTB No Comments

  Trek merupakan trek peninggalan Sukma. Dah rosak, jadi semakin extreme disebabkan lurah-lurah air.

  Downhill bukan bidang aku. Ilmu aku sangat cetek. Aku ingat perendah seat dah cukup untuk downhill. Banyak lagi kena consider.

  Aku pun tolak gerek naik atas, ingatkan ada bahagian yang boleh layan. Tapi lepas 200m aku tinggalkan gerek aku dan panjat just untuk mapping. Track ni bukan untuk aku. So secara teorinya aku tak kayuh. Dan dah 2 minggu tak kayuh selepas Review SIT. Bila nak kayuh, tak tau lagi.

  Hiking naik turun lagi teruk dari kayuh gerek. Muscle pain sampai la ni. Jadi kena banyak training untuk KK>

  Aku bawa famili aku dan nasi lemak dan sandwich. Comel dan Ms Comel bawa meehon dan sandwish. Wan Blitz bawa BBQ tapi kambing lupa bawa. Nice outing – 2 in 1. Gerek dan Picnic.

  ---

  Jarak just 2.2km. Starting point 390m. Tapi masih boleh naik lagi dan turun sebelah Bukit Lebai Husin.

  

  LonT dengan new outfit tengah kelentong.

  

  Time ni aku dah tinggalkan gerek.

  

  Testing

  

  Nasir – cross sungai

  Wan Blitz – test gerek

  Why extra RM10?

  MTB 8 Comments

  In most mountain bike events, late entry will be charged an extra of RM10.

  I only have 1 question, what the extra RM10 is for?

  Most of the late entries will not get their jersey/T-shirt on event day. Most of the late entries will have to arrange the collection of jersey themselves after the event.

  Don’t you think the hassle for them is punishment enough?

  The closing date for SIT and RUN is in a few days time. Riders, please register fast. Organiser, please consider.

  Sultan Iskandar Ibni Almarhum Sultan Ismail – Al Fatihah

  Islam, Others 4 Comments

  Setiap kali kematian pembesar-pembesar, aku merasa kesian, bukan sedih.

  Kematian itu pasti. Kesudahan yang elok kita doakan.

  Aku merasa kesian kerana tinggallah semua pingat-pingat, mahkota dan segala kebesaran dunia. Yang dibawa adalah amal. Bukan nama yang panjang dengan gelaran yang akan dipanggil di dalam kubur tapi hanya nama ber-binkan ibunya. Tidak ada siapa yang akan membantu di dalam kubur, hanya iman yang dibawa.

  Muhasabahlah diri wahai rakan-rakanku. Entahkan esok atau lusa, giliran kita pula.

  Get rich with Google Adsense?

  Computer/Internet, Others 2 Comments

  I don’t think so. Or maybe I just did not do it right.

  I started putting in Adsense on 14th October 2008. The number of ads displayed started from a few to a few thousands on good days. But only click on ads gives you money. How much per click? It depends. From 0 cent to 50 cents. Normally around 10 cents.

  My adsense ads not only displayed here but on daawah.com, dakwah.org and kedahjamboree photo gallery. Even that, the money came in very slow.

  Only after a year and 2 months, I got my first payment.

  I think I should look for other ads company. Anyone has any idea?

  Foreign cheque will only be cleared in a month. If they can credit direct into my paypal account, I will be happier.

  Seri Iskandar MTB Exploration 2010 Review

  MTB 14 Comments

  I was invited to review the track of the event by Pak Chuu from Seri Iskandar Cycling Team. I invited Man Bank Rakyat who is one of the mastermind of our Great Advanture to join me for a 260km drive to Seri Iskandar.

  That night before the ride, we were briefed by Pak Chuu about the track of  SIT. He said the track is for beginners. We doubt it since no one ever rode the full track.

  The next morning, 26 riders joined the ride but only 7 completed it.

  The first 5km will be on road. Then offroad all the way until the last 7km.

  The earlier part of the offroad will be light climbing  and follow with 5km flat gravel road. Then the torture began. So many small hills to climb and follow with fast and tactical downhill. Please refer to elevation graph.

  The last part of the offroad, you will enter abandon balak track for about 4km.

  98% rideable. Just less than 1km in total where you have to push your bike.

  Hardtail of fullsus – I prefer fullsus if I have one.

  Some facts from my garmin:
  Distance: 48km (after 2km deducted from wrong road)
  Total ascent/descent: 829 meter (645 -for BM MTB Carnival 2009)
  Calories: 2460 (2339 – for BM MTB Carnival 2009)

  Unconfirmed news, there will be a very good goodies from MRCB, Universiti Teknologi Petronas, YB and lots more. There will be a carnival with live band a night before.

  A lot of homestays available and you can camp if you want to. Anyway, please contact organiser.

  To conclude, the track is tougher than BM MTB Carnival 2009 and have more downhill to enjoy.

  Experts will enjoy it, intermediates will conquer it and beginners will chicken loop it!

  Lastly, thank you Pak Chuu for a night at your homestay, dinner, breakfast and lunch. And also reimbursement for tol and petrol. And thank you also to all Seri Iskandar members and hopefully to see you again on 21st Feb.

  Magura Louise Bat MTB Brake Set

  Buy & Sell, MTB 8 Comments

  I bought Magura Louise Bat Brake Set at USD219 from ebay. The shipping cost USD30. The total after conversion came up to RM850. It arrived in less than 10 days.

  It came new with original box, not oem. Includes levers, lines, rotors, calipers, adapter, hardware and manual, everything you need to shorten the hose.

  Shortened the hose and installed by Zul, Razi’s son last week but not yet ride it until now!

  Buying from internet will save you a lot. Lots of choices available and I’m sort of addicted. Now I’m looking for Fox!

  High time – sujud syukur

  Islam, Others 2 Comments

  Kadang-kadang dalam hidup kita mengalami banyak masalah dan ditimpa oleh musibah. Apa yang dibuat tak menjadi. Apa yang dirancang tak terlaksana. Itu adalah low time. Kemurungan akan menyusul.

  Tapi, a few weeks ni adalah high time aku. Benda-benda yang berlaku walaupun kecil boleh menjadikan keadaan lebih ceria dan manis. Tak semestinya dapat bonus baru tersenyum panjang.

  Benda yang berlaku recently yang contribute kepada high time:

  - Kenduri di rumah pak aku yang berjalan lancar – link
  - Kejayaan anak aku dalam PMR – link
  - Sakit lutut aku beransur baik
  - Kereta Wira aku dah baik – minyak hitam dah tak bocor
  - Basikal full service after 2 years dan brek magura dah pasang – link
  - 36 ekor ayam aku dah besar dan turun dari lau
  - Anak aku yang darjah 6 jadi bilal kat surau
  - USD600 dalam paypal untuk shopping di ebay
  - Great advanture – 6 orang dah confirm – link
  - Golf – last 2 game aku score below 80
  - dll

  Jadi kena sujud syukur atas kurniaan Allah yang melimpah ruah.

  Sujud Syukur bermaksud sujud apabila mendapat sesuatu nikmat, sesuatu yang kita hajati, mencapai kejayaan atau terhindar daripada bencana, maka sewajarnyalah kita bersyukur ke hadrat Allah SWT.

  Daripada Abu Bakrah bahawa Nabi Muhammad SAW apabila menerima suatu perkara yang menyenangkan atau diberi khabar gembira, segera baginda menunduk sujud sebagai tanda syukur kepada Allah Taala. (Riwayat Abu Daud dan Tirmizi).

  Sebuah lagi hadis yang diriwayatkan oleh Bukhari bahawa Ali bin Abi Talib menulis surat kepada Rasulullah s.a.w. untuk memberitahu mengenai suku Hamzan yang memeluk Islam. Baginda terus tunduk bersujud, kemudian mengangkat semula kepalanya dan bersabda : “Selamat sejahtera ke atas suku Hamzan, selamat sejahtera ke atas suku Hamzan.”

  Tidak terdapat hadis yang menyatakan khafiat sujud syukur.

  Bagaimanapun, dalam Fiqh Islam karangan H. Sulaiman Rasyid menyebutkan bahawa rukunnya ialah :
  1. Berniat untuk sujud syukur
  2. Membaca takbiratul ihram ketika turun sujud
  3. Satu kali sujud
  4. Memberi salam selepas kembali duduk

  Sujud syukur ini hanya dilakukan di luar sembahyang kerana ia tidak berhubungan dengan soal sembahyang. Syaratnya pula iaitu:
  1. Suci dari segala najis di badan, pakaian dan tempat.
  2. Menutup aurat
  3. Menghadap kiblat

  Mengenai bacaan dalam sujud ini tidak ada sumber khusus yang menjelaskannya kerana sujud syukur ini merupakan luahan rasa kesyukuran dari hati seorang hamba atas nikmat yang diberikanNya.

  Wallahualam.
