God Save Palestine!!

For the past 3 days i tried to "google" for updates and any leaking stories from Gaza Strip. Here is what i found:

Against all odds, there are still blog posts coming out of Gaza, and bloggers are vividly describing the fear they are filled with in the face of ongoing Israeli attacks.

Exiled says he is no hero:

على قيد الحياة ولكني لست بخير
وقد اكون في اي لحظة على قيد الموت لاكون بخير
فالاموات وحدهم آمنون في غزة

تركت شقتي وذهبت انا وزوجتي الى بيت العائلة،ليس بحثا عن مكانا آمناً من القصف
احب ان اكون بجانب امي في هذه الاحوال

لست بطلا،كابن اخي الصغير ارتعش من الصوت المعدني المتفجر في الهواء القريب
ولكني اكبت رعشتي خجلا،فلست بطلا

I am still alive, but not OK.
And at any moment I may be within sight of death, and will be OK.
Only the dead are safe in Gaza.
I left my flat and my wife and I went to the family home, but not searching for a safe place from the bombing.
I want to be next to my mother in such circumstances.
I am not a hero; like my young nephew I am trembling from the explosive metal sound in the air nearby.
But I hold back my trembling in embarrassment; I am not a hero.

Laila El-Haddad, who blogs at Raising Yousuf and Noor, is in touch with her parents in Gaza:

My father just called to inform me he was ok – after warplanes bombed the Islamic University there, considered to be the Strip's premiere academic institution.

A little later I called my mother, only to hear her crying on the phone. “The planes are overhead” she cried “the planes are overhead”. I tried to calm her down – planes overhead mean the “target” is further away. But in such moments of intense fear, there is no room for rationality and logic.

Another Gazan blogger, Dr. Mona El-Farra is currently in the UK, and is watching what is happening in despair:

With an aching heart I continue to watch Gaza from a distance. I cannot turn the TV off, cannot detach myself from what is going on there. Not while my medical colleagues work hard under such extraordinarily circumstances. Not while my friends, my family, and the whole population of Gaza face such horrible atrocities and constant fear. The nightmare isn’t over.

Canadian human rights activist Eva Bartlett, who blogs at In Gaza, describes how she is trying to cope:

How to explain this feeling? I am physically numb to the explosions, not that I am in any way brave, but just physically unaffected. This is useful, it allows me to continue to write, to photograph, to speak. But it is my rational side which is continuing these things. Alberto, a Spanish journalist sitting next to me, helps me to recall that last night I told him: “I’m so focused on conveying the eyewitness account that I’m not thinking about danger.”

[…]

It’s nearly impossible to finish this entry…still more explosions are erupting every few minutes: a car in Al Bureijj camp, central Gaza, another hit in the Zaytoun residential area of Gaza City, another in the north… This time, it is not the electricity that prevents me from writing, nor certainly not want of words or information. It is that the appalling bombing at close range that Israel is unleashing on us here in Gaza, since just after 11 am on December 27th continues at full speed, full strength, despite over 300 dead and over 800 injured, by conservative estimates (1000 by other estimates), not including the victims and casualties from the latest and ongoing attacks. The outside world rightfully wants to know what is going on in Gaza, and I too want to know, even though I am here. Gaza has become isolated areas, where people are trapped in their homes for fear of being out on the streets. And, as it turns out, even homes are not safe. There is no where safe in Gaza. Any place can be a target. Any target can be justified as being a planned target or being closed to a planned target.

In a later post, she simply says:

For now…i prepare for no electricity, no internet, and the worst
i’m praying that you will do your part outside Gaza to end this horror
7 more killed, 10s wounded in latest attack in north of gaza

Dah datang

Cuba korang dalami senario berikut:

Anda dibayar gaji RM2500 sebulan
Anda punya isteri suri rumah dan seorang bayi
Punya sebuah apartment, setiap bulan bayar RM700
Punya sebuah kereta Gen2, bulan-bulan bayar RM600

Tuan punya syarikat paksa anda bercuti 3 - 5 hari sebulan
Tolak dari cuti tahunan. Kalau dah habis, cuti tanpa gaji la
Gaji anda mengecut.
Nak bayar kereta, rumah, bil elektrik, makan lagi, susu anak, kalau ada insurans kena tolak lagi, etc....

Kuasa membeli pun mengucup. Itu tak boleh, ini tak boleh
Nak minum kopi oldtown pun dah tak boleh
McD pun kena hold dulu
Kena cut cost
Dah hilang sorang kuasa membeli
Impak dekat peniaga-peniaga
Keuntungan makin berkurang
Terus impak dekat petani, penternak, nelayan yang salurkan bahan-bahan mentah
Inflasi pun naik

Keadaan jadi makin parah
Duit jadi short
Terpaksa korbankan aset atau liabiliti yang ada
Start dengan kereta..
Lama-lama tak dapat nak bayar dah
Bank pun tarik balik kereta tu
Bank rugi
Sorang pelanggan hilang tak dapat nak bayar
Lama-lama bank pun tak dapat nak tahan
Belum tambah yang tak mampu bayar rumah lagi

Bayangkan jika ada sejuta rakyat Malaysia yang alami senario macam ni.
Apa akan jadi pada pekerja?
Apa akan jadi pada petani?
Apa akan jadi pada nelayan?
Apa akan jadi pada peniaga?
Apa akan jadi pada bank-bank?
Apa akan jadi pada developer?
Apa akan jadi pada investor?
Apa akan jadi pada Malaysia?
Anda tahu jawapannya?

Bersedialah.....................

Eidul Adha

Agak terlewat juga untuk aku post. Tak ada masa nak online dalam minggu ni. Balik je dari kampung terus masuk kerja dan off to Port Dickson, cuti-cuti Malaysia dengan rakan-rakan TIM.
Tahun ni pertama kali aku berkorban. Pada mulanya aku ingat dah terlewat untuk amik satu bahagian sebab dapat cuti pun dua hari sebelum raya. Mujur ayah aku dah book untuk aku awal-awal. Alhamdulillah berpeluang gak aku berkorban. Bertambah menarik dapat jumpa bandmates Dondunks. 1st time dapat kumpul semua. Kelantan semakin menarik. Kami pergi lepak kat tempat baru (aku rasalah) The Riverview oleh kerana tempatnya di tebing sungai Kelantan, ala-ala Gurney Drive kat Penang. Nama pun nak English, tak nak kalah..hahaha Nama diambil bersempena dengan nama hotel disitu, The Riverview Hotel. Kawan cakap tempat tu baru naik tiga bulan lepas. Kejap je jadi tarikan budok-budok Kelate. Tapi nampak macam tempat lepak mat kereta je..Kereta semua tak nak kalah. Apa-apapun, Salam Aidil Adha untuk semua..End...

Pulang dengan menaiki Bas Tambahan

Malam gelap
Hujan gerimis
Bertukar lebat
Jalan raya sesak
Gerombolan manusia tak sabar pulang
Licin dibasahi air langit
Pasti terjadi potong memotong
Celah mencelah
Doakan segalanya selamat
Bas Tambahan,
tolonglah jangan gelojoh..
Orang tersayang sedang menunggu..

Rock The World 8: The same old story

Well, Rock the World is coming again. I'm not so excited to witness this big event as before. Most of the line up are still the same with the previous RTW. Maybe this is the formula for Jason Lo to attract local rock lovers to come; legends meet the biggest fan base meet the most promising bands. Is it the best formula? Where is Carburetor Dung? They are legend. Where is Second Combat? They have a strong fan base. Plague of Happiness? Most energetic live bands. Metal bands? No? What? Not approved? Damn. Sooooo boring...Same old story...But to whom supporting local scene, go out there and have fun!!

Here are the details:

When: 12pm, 20 December '08
Where: The Secret Garden, Stadium Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur
Tickets: RM25 (available at the venue and all Rock Corner, Music Valley, Tower Records and Extreme Outlets)

Lineup (Updated):
Estranged
One Buck Short
The Times
Pure Vibracions
Bunkface
Republic Of Brickfields
Butterfingers
Koffin Kanser
Zip Zieller
The Otherside Orchestra
Laila's Lounge
Revenge
They Will Kill Us All
Komplot
OAG
Upon Arrival
