Faiz ~ The King of Rubik's Cube

You know Rubiks cube, right? It's either 2x2 or 3x3 or 4x4 or 5x5.... and the normal one is the 3x3 cube....I didn't know that earlier!! Have you tried solving the cube? I did!!...took me quite long to solve just ONLY 1 side...that's as far as I could go. Never bother to try better than that.

Faiz (12) has that special ability to solve the Rubiks cube...I don't know how he aqcuired the knowledge and skill, but somehow he has the capability to do it....not only solving Rubiks cube but equally good in solving Maths, handling IT stuff, solving jigsaw puzzles and fixing those toys where you have to install / fix yourself.
The best in the world probably can solve all 6 sides in less than 10 seconds...seen that on youtube...don't know how true that is, and don't really know about Malaysia's record. Faiz current average time is at 40 - 60 seconds, pretty amazing to me. He has been competing among his friends in his school...and he probably holds the no 1 ranking now.



I knew he sourced for a lot of info on the net on solving Rubiks cube and he plays with it all the time. His younger brother has not shown the same ability but he's pretty good in singing though!!! He likes Micheal Jackson's songs. Will write about him in another posting.

Faiz ihas completed his Al-Quran last year and is pretty well versed with the tajwid too. He wanted to join Dini at MTS. We are hopeful that he will be given the chance to follow his sister's footstep. Faiz also obtained his black belt in Karate last year. It was a proud moment for him after intensive trainings with his master. He just loves outdoor activities, especially camping and last year we help his class, 5 Geliga to organise a camping trip at Ricardo Camp, Port Dickson. They had great time with water activities, flying fox etc.

He will be sitting for his UPSR and PSRA this year..so far he has shown the desire and discipline to suceed...our only hope is for him to strike both exams well and move on to the next level. Hope he could produce the same skills and capabilities of handling the Rubiks cube in both his exams this year.

He was a very naughty boy when he was small but he has grown to be a wonderful young man.

All the best to Faiz Muqri....

Amazing pictures...

I received an e-mail forwarded by a friend in June 2009, about 2 weeks before we left for umrah. The e-mail entitled “Gambar Malaikat” and the story accompanied the pictures goes like this:-

“Gambar nie diceritakan sendiri pada aku oleh jurugambar yang amik gambar nie. Dia diupah oleh Tabung Haji dan terlibat dalam merakamkan gambar jemaah haji yang memenunaikan rukun islam pada disember 2008 (tahun lepas). Masa gambar diambil, tiada sebarang perubahan cuaca atau kerosakan pada kamera. Gambar di ambil di Mudzalifah semasa jemaah berhenti untuk berehat seketika dan beribadat.

Bila dilihat semula gambar nie, jurukamera baru perasan terdapat "bubble" di dalam gambar berikut. Jika diperhatikan seolah2 terdapat tulisan kalimah Allah swt.. Persoalan didalam gambar ini dirujuk pada ustaz di sana . Ustaz menceritakan kebarangkalian pada waktu itu malaikat turun dari langit. Tetapi untuk tidak menujukkan wajah sebenar malaikat, ia hanya menunjukkan namanya sahaja.

So, kesimpulannya. ... setiap satu "bubble" itu mewakili satu nama malaikat. Bayangkan lah betapa besarnya kuasa Allah swt...... Panjang2 kan lah email nie.....Mungkin ada yang ingin sampaikan pada semua umat Nabi Muhammad saw pada ketika ini... Wallahualam. ..”



After I read the e-mail, I forwarded it to my brother. It ends there until we went for Umrah in mid June 2009. When we were in Madinah and after solat Isyak, on our way back to the hotel, my brother captured some photos outside Masjid Nabawi. When we reached the hotel and were looking at the photos taken, my brother noticed the similarity with the pictures captured by the photographer in Mudzalifah. Of course, his camera is just a normal digital camera but we could see the same white bubbles on the air in both the pictures. Amazing isn’t it? Kebenarannya hanya Allah SWT yang mengetahui...
