Ghostrider Berlatih Kembali

Ghostrider buncit kembali. Kepayahan berbulan-bulan menyusutkan diri secara natural telah hancur dalam dua minggu. Enam bulan yang diperuntuk untuk nyahkan 10kg tampak sia-sia. Hapus hanya dalam 2 minggu.



Usus dan salur darah Ghostrider kembali berminyak. Minyak Mazola, Sawit dan sebagainya adalah tinggalan dari gumpalan rendang, gulai, kari, masak itu dan ini. Bahaya minyak ini, ia mampu menyumbat saluran air sebuah apartmen. 'Special Chemical' boleh diguna untuk meredakan kesesakan. Tapi manusia boleh mati jika minum chemical ini, termasuk Ghostrider. Tiada jalan pintas. Dia perlu berlatih kembali.

Ghostrider jadi rajin. Beberapa hari sebelum bertemu puaknya, dia sudah dulu pusing crank. Hari pertama bertemu dia, aku nampak dulu perut dia, baru aku nampak muka dia. Dia kayuh steady 2 round kriterium. Peluh berminyak lalu menguasai permukaan luar tubuh badannya. Beberapa detik rehat di Z&K, selepas lupus 2-3 gelas air, dia sedut rokok satu batang. Sepengetahuan aku, asap adalah diet specis hantu jin. Tapi dia ada kurang hisap rokok, kira satu pencapaian.

Hari lain di'set' untuk puak lagi ramai. Tak ramai pun cuma 3 orang. Selain aku dan dia, lagi satu adalah sarjan nama macam cerita P. Ramlee.

Ghostrider bikin gegar. Lap pertama terus tarik 25kmj. Kira lajulah ikut standard kami, calon juara mukim. Kami tak minat jadi juara dunia. Tiada lagi nikmat jika naik basikal sponsor. Ghostrider cukup steady, aku kasi ruang dulu 3-4 tiang. Sarjan cucuk angin dia. Mesti best, sebab saiz lebar badan dia cukup untuk cover angin sarjan.

Masuk lap kedua, dia kasi sarjan lead. "Oh biasalah, kasi tukar pulak, bukan apa-apa", hati besar aku terdetik. Tanpa warning tiba-tiba prestasi dia menurun secara mendadak. Lalu aku berjaya mengiring tepinya, lantas dia menunjuk-nunjuk bahagian perutnya. Aku potong dan kejar sarjan di depan. Meter murah sudah tunjuk 30kmj. Masih tidak boleh jadi juara dunia.

Sesekali aku menoleh, tiada lampu kucing kelihatan. Mungkin bateri 'kong'. Dia di belakang tadi, dan di depannya ada simpang jalan 'ayam'. Mungkin dia masuk situ untuk ternak 'ayam' di simpang satu lagi.

Telahan awal memang tepat. Memang betul dia menjenguk ternakan 'ayam'nya. Tak apalah. Cukuplah 2 lap, "Mari kita lepak di Jazee!".

***

"Tadi aku makan nasi ayam", kata Ghostrider.

"Tiba-tiba ayam tu cucuk-cucuk perut aku, menyesal aku makan tadi", sambungnya lagi.

Aku order 100 plus, roti telur, separuh nasi goreng ayam sarjan & mee segera sup. Licin. Aku bersandar diam sampai habis sesi.

The Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad SAW

Sunnah (سنة, plural سنن sunan) literally means "trodden path", and therefore, the sunnah of Muhammad, prophet of Islam, means "the way and the manners of Muhammad".

How Did Prophet Muhammad Himself Respond to Insults?



The Sunnah of Muhammad refers to his traditions and actions, including specific words, actions, and practices. This is in contrast to the hadith, which contains just his words. However, the two doctrines were closely related in the beginnings of Islam. The Sunnah is significant to the spirituality of Islam because it continues teaching Muslims how their prophet acted during his life, and this allows the continuing generations of Muslims to be able to know his ways. The Sunnah addresses ways of life dealing with friends, family, and government.

Do Good to Those That Harm You



How far the hadith contributes to the sunnah is disputed, and highly dependent on the context. In the context of Islamic Law, Imam Malik and the Hanafi scholars assumed to have differentiated between the sunnah and the hadith. In some instances, for example, Imam Malik is supposed to have rejected hadiths that reached him because, according to him, they were against the 'established practice of the people of Medinah'.

How Did Prophet Muhammad Treat Non-Muslims?

A Man Called Terrorist

October 2002. In the wake of the terrorist bombing in Bali on October 12, reporter Evan Williams travelled to Solo in Central Java and spoke to the man many people believe was behind the attack. Watch the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWEhhlaQDHc

Here's another video of him (the so-called terrorist leader) explaining the truth about Jihad & Dakwah according to the Quran.



"O you who believe! If a Fasiq (liar - evil person) comes to you with any news, verify it, lest you should harm people in ignorance, and afterwards you become regretful for what you have done". (Al-Hujraat:6)

"Wahai orang-orang yang beriman sekiranya datang kepada kamu orang fasik dengan berita-berita maka siasatlah (terlebih dahulu) kebenarannya (kerana bimbang) kalau-kalau kamu mengenai sesuatu kaum tanpa pengetahuan, lalu kamu menyesal atas perbuatanmu". (Al-Hujurat:6)

Steroid Hill's Joggers: Beware!

When there's nowhere else to go, Frim is the answer. However, we were quite dissapointed with the joggers. Would you jog elsewhere other than Steroid Hill? Move! Move! (Ada yang tersondol karang... Rover tak cukup?)



Total of 4 riders turn up for the day. It was the fisrt ride with Miharo after so many weeks. Everybody seems to be busy nowadays, and we're busy calculating our heart rate!





I always once in awhile bring beginners here. Even its a bit tiring, its the best way to check the health of your lungs and heart! Don't be shy to walk or push your bike to the top of the hill :)

Trail Riding: Empangan Batu

When I last visited Empangan Batu or Batu Dam over 5 months ago, the trails was good, slippery and fun as usual. A lot has happened since then. It attracted less and less visitors. Some trails were missing due to overgrown trees and grass. There are too many fallen trees, some lanslides and more ruts all over the place. Not as fun as it used to be.





The only good thing was, I had the opportunity to ride along with Shimano's unofficial unpaid rider Mr. Badoot, and witnessing first hand his newly invented single roller derailleur hehehe...



I have my own invention as well of what I called "Chestcam". However, I had problem with my video editing software, and the footage is not as good as I expected.
