of fitnah, and the unsuspecting
i had a headache today, so i slept (for health reasons) and skipped the bi-weekly (as in twice a week) lecture.but the headache still lingered on, and when i started reading this particular email, my mood worsened,and after a bit of investigating (more or less) i had to send this email (originally i intended to write about fitnah and stuff, but then got lazy. The email is succinct enough i guess)
salam sume,
jangan terpengaruh dengan email2 begini dan forward. siasat dulu. Apa gune lego buat bende tak berfaedah macam ni?
sila baca statement lego:

ada beberapa je kemungkinan:
- org Islam sendiri yang nak api-apikan sentimen orang muslim,tapi dengan cara salah, malah belum tentu pun musuh kite ialah LEGO
- Musuh2 Islam
- musuh2 LEGO yang mempergunakan kita
yang pasti, gambar2 fitnah begini merosakkan minda kita je, dengan memberi imprint dalam otak yang merosakkan, wallahualam..
ini lagi berite lego,dan statement tadi klu terlepas:

semoga Allah mengampunkan dosa2 kita, dan menunjukkan jalan yang benar..

there have been other similar emails I encountered on the net, like the coca cola ad, starbucks, and Ka'abah. I dont know what to say about them.
I'm just gonna say be wary of the internet's info,and maybe all other media too,as at times, it may be misleading, whether intentional or not, to the unsuspecting people.
sometimes, it's better not to have seen those disturbing images.dont you know there's a cult or something about watching gory images, or porn etc. Some poor souls have become addicted to this kind of stuff.IMO these stuffs (the emails) can be categorized as one of them,
it's an unfortunate negative byproduct of our information technology days
zyryx deep in thought..more in the lines like 'coolnye aku klu wat cani...',well, partly..hehe

of leisure, and the internet
WARNING: further reading may cause information fatigue to the unsuspecting, or uninterested mind..
I’ve been asked a lot these days by my friends about why I keep staying up late at night. It’s actually out of concern, my midnight activities have made me sleepy in class, and I even sleep during breaks, and, even in class sometimes (now this is bad).
I blame it on the internet
It is a well-known fact that most sleep deprivation comes from too much time spent online…coupled with my first experience here-with all the tension of classes and lectures- of a few months of unlimited internet… I’ve become the true internet geek, though I’m not proud of it.
For many the internet offers many different things. Contemporary telecommunication technologies makes it possible to even view live shows, games, news virtually anything. Whole new virtual communities keep showing up, providing a virtual environment for lonely freaks, er… I mean people to connect to others in ways I’ve never dreamed of thirty years ago (that’s definitely true, I wasn’t even born yet)
Ok back to the point..My midnight internet activities. Hmm…have you ever heard the phrase curiosity killed the cat?...well for me it made me nearly nocturnal. I start by opening my pc, checking my email, blog, friendster…then ‘tada’..it’s already tomorrow morning at 2 o’clock…
Ok2 that was a bit exaggerating… I do pray, cook, eat, wash my clothes, do my assignments, buy foodstuffs, play with the household cat, etc.
(here's the afore-mentioned cat, by the way- it's been a while eh?)
(trying to catch the shark in the screen..she's really cute, isnt she?)
It’s actually hard to explain this. How about if I give yesterday for an example:
While I was opening my computer, Zam, who was already on his, commented something vague about Volgograd being the sister city of Coventry, London, where some of his relatives live. i got curious as to what sister cities mean…so I wiki’ed it. After a long article about what they actually are, and their significance (in a nutshell, they are like ‘pen-pals’, but involving whole cities, ‘to foster stronger relationships’, and usually they have some thing in common…for Volgograd and Coventry, they were both bombarded/attacked during WW2), and another artivel about twin cities,which had slightly different meanings. At the end, in the list of cities given as examples, the cities Sodom and Gomorrah caught my eyes, this led to other articles describing nearly everything from history and geography to biblical, Jewish and Quranic point of views.
Now ladies and gentlemen, somehow the views from these things, and ancient mythology (Greek, Roman, Chinese and some others) have always been an intriguing topic for me.
Thus a mention of Procrustes compelled me to read more about his legend, and that fascinating part about the procrustean bed and procrustean analysis, used in modern science and mathematics. Next came Theseus, the hero king from Athens who had slain Procrustes with his own method (read Procrustean bed), and his adventures which can be comparable to Heracles (the Dorian hero, Theseus was the Ionian hero). At the end of his journeys, another more interesting fact came with the tale of the ship of Theseus, which was preserved for centuries, but with every (rotting) part changed over the years, giving rise to the Ship of Theseus Paradox: a philosophical debate of the whether it is the same ship or not (other parallel paradoxes are John Locke’s socks, Grandfather’s axe, and even rock bands with the same names but totally different players and Herbie films(the one about the living car).
Theseus’s journeys meets up with a lot of other interesting Greek characters, all with their own wiki articles: Aethra, Amaryllis, the Minotaur,somehow Perseus, another Greek hero, and his best friend Pirithous, their fights with the centaurs, and their final pledge to marry daughters of Zeus, ending in Pirithous’s doom to suffer forever in the underworld because he tried to take Persephone, the wife of the underworld God, Hades, which was unforgivable. Interestingly Theseus was saved by Hercules, during on of the 12 labours of Heracles, which was to obtain the dog Cerberus in the underworld.
And Article about Hades proved equally eye-opening, he wasn’t as evil as we thought. In fact he was more towards passive, more as a balance to the living world, and one of his main attributes was being just. Another article would tell us that during the war with the Titans, the gods were given weapons by the Cyclopes: Zeus with his thunderbolts, Poseidon his trident, and Hades- the Helm of Darkness, which renders him invisible. Before the first battle, Hades used his Helm to sneak into the Titans’ area and destroyed all their weapons. After they had won the war, these Greek Gods decided to divide the realm between them, thus Zeus got the sky, Poseidon controlled the seas, and Hades ruled the underworld.
I skipped things like the Minotaur, as I already read it somewhere else, and there was a whole lot more to read.
It didn’t end there, from the Greeks, I somehow went through the Golden, Silver and Bronze age of DC and Marvel comics, with about 20 different characters ,and the pre and post crisis stuff in the comics (apparently the multiverse in which all those superheroes live in- yeah they tried to round up ALL of their heroes from the start of production till now- was destroyed , and remodeled into only 52 parallel universes, including ours)
Eg of superheroes: superman(obviously), batman, maxima, robin/nightwing, zatanna zatarra, the monitor, antimonitor(responsible for the crisis), starfire (3 of them),Doomsday (died with a superman), parallax, the gren lantern corps, Oa, and many, many pointless others..wasting my time, and probably yours too, by the time you finish reading up to here.
By the time I finished, it was already 3am..or was it 4?
by the way,here are 2 of about 10 webpages i read today...they're very interesting..really
i was worried about my headaches, so this article captured my attention for some time..
http://www.realsimple.com/realsimple/gallery/0,21863,1700343,00.html
i once remarked about this orion in cairo,egypt,the sky was so clear then and i was sure i recognized it. while walking back a few days ago, and today, i saw the same clusters of stars above my roof in volgograd. to make sure, i searched the internet, and this is what i found..fascinating..

what's new with zyryx
salam
in 2 days, my final sem will start, before we all go home for good insyaAllah
right now, i'm preparing stuffs for the classes, and my parents' n sister's visit on my graduation on the 25th of june.sounds easy but russia's far and not really that reachable wihtout some effort.
my dream of becoming one of the finest students shattered long before, right now i'm just thankful to have come to this final sem, and insyaAllah, i'll concentrate more after this to graduate, and insyaAllah work as a good enough doctor.
I'm just getting really2 curious about what my prospects are as a doctor,what are my career options, which place is better,what should i go for? can i go far?and should I, or could I...things like that.
about the near past- well, i've been travelling again..probably for the last time as a student-tourist..this time to egypt.i really cant thank enough the students/ustaz there who helped u a lot and took us around, especially zam's close friend from high school, ustaz Luqman, who took care of virtually everything.it was really a precious experience
a few days before this i took the time to browse around the other internet webpage services for photos and blogs..and so, after some consideration,i've decided to change my photoblogs to flickr, the reason : i could upload much, much more photos in one shot.but the 100mb limit per month might prove a hindrance..but..my uploads are small in size anyways..hehe
i've started to upload my pics in egypt here
meanwhile.. the fotopages is still active,as i still have a lot to upload from my previous travels around europe..blame it on my procrastination..sorry..hehe
NB! the images are small and altered, although i dont sell them, if you want a pic as a wallpaper or something, ask them from me, insyaAllah i'll send the original pic to you, in the original size if you want
i'll also try to upload some videos..but i might not take the trouble to edit it in any way..
another interesting website that i might try using is multiply.com
but that remains to be seen as the only point of it is that it connects all my webpages in a nice layout..i still have problems connecting it with my youtube though..
more or less the webpages are essentially the same in name...you'll see the word zyryx nearly everywhere i go in this cyber world
here's a new video, in alexandria ,hopefully viewable
since there's so much to do..please consider this website, and the others, as under partial construction..as i still need to reorganize the photos and layout..
PS: somewhere in the distant corners of my memory something tells me that someone tagged me for something..should i do it?
