Tidur

Wow it has been years! And now i am back to write again! To share the 'enlightenment' and the 'revolution' which had happened and is happening around me. Using the words enlightenment and revolution is very much related to what i'm doing within this few months. To be able to teach and share knowledge about these eras is one of a lifetime opportunity. So grab it and enjoy the moments. First and foremost i would like to share a very important to a question which has been playing in my mind several weeks. It is about sleeping. Read on and enjoy. TIDUR Bila Dr Noorhisam dari Tahfiz Medic menukilkan dapatannya bahawa dalam sehari, kita hanya memerlukan tidur selama 3jam, saya cuba...saya tidur sekitar jam 11-12 malam dan cuma bangun semula pukul 3pagi tetapi saya bangun dengan rasa mengantuk dan letih. Kekadang saya tertidur semula dan bangun jam 4.30 pagi. Saya syak, mungkin sistem badan saya yang tidak berfungsi dengan baik..menyebabkan saya tidak dapat bangun dengan cergas seperti yang dirancang. Tetapi saya pelik, bilamana ada hari-hari tertentu, tika saya "tanpa rela" sering tertidur pada pukul 9malam.....seterusnya secara otomatik, sekitar jam 2pagi saya pasti akan terjaga. Biji mata saya segar....lalu saya pun bangun untuk melakukan aktiviti2 rutin saya....tanpa mengantuk! Saya pelik! Rupa-rupanya apa yang berlaku pada saya bukan suatu yang abnormal....saya menemui artikel karya Dr Hamza Al-Hamzawi. Menurut kajian beliau, untuk bangun dengan cergas, kita tak perlu tidur selama 8jam seperti kajian barat. Tetapi cukup dengan tidur selama 3jam sahaja. Tetapi waktu tidur itu mestilah dari pukul 9 malam hingga 12 malam (tapi kita di zaman skrg ni kalau kita dapat tidur tepat pukul 10 dàn bangun jam 2pagi...itu dah lebih dari baik). Berdasarkan sunnah, Rasulullah saw sememangnya tidur di awal malam kerana tidur pada waktu ini adalah waktu tidur yang paling bermanfaat. Seseorang itu boleh dapat 80% daripada tidur yang nyenyak pada waktu ini. Waktu ini juga terdapat 'Baraka' di dalamnya iaitu sejam waktu tidur bersamaan dengan tiga (3) jam waktu tidur. Pada masa ini kelenjar pineal mengeluarkan hormon melatonin iaitu membantu kita untuk tidur. Tidur dari pukul 12 pagi hingga 2 pagi Waktu ini terdapat 20% waktu tidur nyenyak dan selebihnya iaitu 80% adalah 'dream sleeping' yang tidak berguna. Pada masa ini tidur sejam bersamaan dengan sejam waktu tidur. Dari dari pukul 2 Pagi hingga 5 Pagi sebelum Subuh (Fajr) Ini sebenarnya bukan lagi waktu tidur tetapi adalah waktu yang paling sesuai untuk menghafal, mengingati Allah, berzikir, Istighfar dan penumpuan mental. Tidur pada waktu siang (selepas Fajr) Tidur pada waktu ini adalah waktu tidur yang tidak bermanfaat kerana tiga (3) jam tidur bersamaan dengan sejam waktu tidur, ditambah dengan kelesuan, kekeliruan, dan hilangnya fokus. Tidur dari Fajr hingga terbitnya matahari Kelenjar pineal mengeluarkan hormon lain iaitu 'serotonin' iaitu dari Fajr sehingga terbitnya matahari dengan syarat seseorang itu mestilah sudah bangun. Bagi mereka yang solat Subuh dengan 'Jamat' dan duduk mengingati Allah. Pada waktu ini adalah sangat sesuai untuk berzikir dan melakukan aktiviti harian. Pembebasan 'melatonin' oleh kelenjar pineal berkurangan selepas 40 tahun dan berhenti selepas 50 tahun. Kemudian seseorang itu harus memanfaatkan apa yang telah tersimpan dalam badan sehingga sepanjang hayatnya. Jadi, jika seseorang mendapat 'Alzheimer' dan permulaan 'Dementia', bermakna dia telah tidur lewat sepanjang hidupnya. Wallahualam.

Fifty shades of grey

Bought this trilogy online and read it during the Raya break! Managed to finish all three books within a week. The plot is very interesting and it has nothing like what the review said. The story revolves around two main characters Christian and Anastasia, which the readers will get the general idea that this novel merely is about romance and relationship. Indeed it is but the focus should be channeled to the act of emotional survival and how one is able to achieve happiness with the help of another. Being self-centered and selfish will get us nowhere and that is what being highlighted in this novel despite the ability to communicate well with their partner. Forget the fully loaded 'lovey-dovey' parts of the relationship but i must say it is very descriptive! This trilogy is for mature reader and definitely not for teens! This trilogy is between Twilights, a little bit of Judith Mcnaught and Sidney Sheldon! Love the nerve-wrecking moments when jealousy, anger hovering the mind! A must read as you will looonggg to know what happen and you will never stop flipping the pages! xoxo

Norhayati Berahim two latest's books. Read it during confinement period.

One Day...

(i must say i get extra depressed just like the main character! lol) a great guilty pleasure indeed!

echoes of silence...

Title : Echoes of Silence
Author : Chuah Guat Eng
Publisher : Holograms
Year : 1994

The role of gender and power relations is very much highlighted in Echoes of Silence. Set in a
Post-colonial era, the main character came back to Malaysia with a white man after spending several years in oversea. The main reason she left Malaysia was due to the 1969 riots.
The plot revolves a lot around the murder of a beautiful woman in a wood. There are a lot of speculations going on and the suspected murderer was among the family members. However, there were doubts and the authority had closed the case for being afraid of bringing the wrong people for the justice.
Using a lot of flash-back, the author managed to go back and forth on the years in identifying who the killer was. It has brought the main character, Ai Lian to keep investigating about the mystery of the murder once her daughter, Anna insisted on finding out the truth.
There are a lot to be discovered and what should be focal point of the story is the discovery of oneself. Ai Lian had learn a lot especially of her involvements with the Templeton family who had been staying in Malaysia even before the 1969 riots. The relationship, the guilt, womanhood and even love which had happened in the past still have its impact in the present and could also be in the future.
