The Stone Soup

I always wonder, does slimming product really work. Take the pill and U'll lose 5 kilos in two weeks, says the bottle, but look closely, there's an asterix symbol at the end of the bottle with it comes a warning written with little font that says, must be taken with diet and exercises.

I remember back in my kindergarten days, a story about the stone soup.

A retired soldier on the way home from the front pass a village where he seeks some food. Every door turn him down until he had enough and when comes to the last door, after the lady of the house turn him down, he offer the lady to share his magic stone soup, well the lady was excited.

The lady filled up the pot and put on the fire to boil the stone. As the water simmers, the soldier taste it, and said, a little salt would be nice. "Owh certainly" replied the lady vibrantly (as she is hoping for a miracle to happen). A while later the soldier taste it again and said, "em some carrots will really make it better," "oh yes, yes" replied the exciting lady.

And to make the story short, the soldier keep on tasting and asking for the entire ingredient to make a soup, potatoes, chicken, celery, onion etc. At last both of them sit down and have a wonderful dinner of a rock soup with the Lady keep on praising of how wonderful it taste as if it is like an ordinary soup.... of course lah it is.

Morale of the story, the pill is either really work or work as a motivator to move your lazy ass to work out.

    Betul tu. Mostly mesti tertulis, with diet and exercise. But, it never works for me. Coz I'm lazy to work out. Tak ada perasaan "motivated" itu lagi. Adeh!

    Dia macam pesen ubat placebo yang kadang-kadang digunakanlah. Hehe.


    P/S : Thanx Encik Frog sebab highlightkan saya tentang setandan. Haha. Sesisir patutnya. Adeh! =.=

Time Travel in the Quran?

By Cikgu Fonik

The cave of Ashabul Kahfi Time travel is the concept of moving between different points in time. Time travel could hypothetically involve moving backward in time to a moment earlier than the starting point, or forward to the future of that point without the need for the traveler to experience the intervening period (at least not at the normal rate). Any technological device – whether fictional or hypothetical – that would be used to achieve time travel is commonly known as a time machine. There are no record in the holy Quran or tradition of the prophet (pbuh) of time travel back in time. However there is a tiding in the holy Quran of traveling forward to the future. Allah told the prophet (pbuh) in surah al kahfi 9-26 about a group of young men in an effort of preserving their monotheism  and a dog that took refugee in a cave from a tyrant infidel king (also acknowledge by the Jews and Christian). The asbab un Nuzul (occasion of revelation) of the...

How to set up a Sharp Aquos with Astro

Am I the only one having difficulties connecting asstro to an LED tv? My 2 years old JVC TV broke down suddenly today, so I bought a new one. I went to giant and had my eyes on a 32" one of the sharp line worth RM8++ , the cheapest one among the branded on display. Unfortunately, it is out of stock, so I went to next best thing, a 32" Aquos from the same line. As we got home, I was very excited and start unwrapping and begun setting it up immediately, and again unfortunately, it won't work with asstro, it doesn't display any pictures except that thousand dots. So I connected it to a plain AV antenna and manage to receive one channel only, TV3. (That is why in rural area asstro is a necessity because normal antenna could only captures weak signal, if we get TV1 that's a blessing because we got two channel to enjoy!). Frustrated I called asstro but unfortunately again to no avail, the nice lady with asstro said they can only do their ...

Harga ayam vs harga ikan

Pagi jumaat lepas, aku ikut mak aku ke pasar. Nak beli ayam dan ikan kata mak aku. Bukan aku nak ikut tapi sebab aku seorang je kat rumah time tu, jadi kena la pergi hehehe. Sampai kat pasar mak aku terus pergi kat orang jual daging ayam. "Sekilo RM 5.00" ditulis dan diletakan kat tepi penimbang. Bagi aku murah jugak la harga tu. Mak aku beli dua ekor. Memang dah perangai mak aku kalau beli ayam mesti dia beli banyak lepas tu simpan dalam peti sejuk. Dah beli ayam, mak aku pergi pula kat tempat jual ikan. "Berapa sekilo ni?" tanya mak aku kat salah seorang penjual ikan. "Ikan Aya ni RM 10.00 sekilo" kata penjual ikan tu. Mahalnya kata aku dalam hati. Ikan Aya ni hanya di guna di negeri Kelantan dan Terengganu saja. Kat tempat lain orang panggil Ikan Tongkol. Mak aku tak jadi beli, dia terus bertanya kat beberapa peniaga ikan lagi sampai la dapat dengan harga RM 8.00 sekilo. Aku tengok bukan ikan tu je yang mahal, semua ikan kat situ semua mahal. Baru aku t...
