Super Vision


Superman has it. His x-ray vision has been used for many good causes. It has never been reported that he had misused it save for some cartoons. But as normal human beings, we need to have a feeling that we are being supervised. It will allow us to make a more conscience decision.
Islam recognizes this. That is Prophet Muhammad (SAW) explained the meaning of ihsan, as follow:
it’s to worship Allah as you are seeing Him and while you see Him not yet truly He sees you."
I call this spiritual supervision.

With this kind of supervision (unlike the Superman’s supervision) one will be God conscious and would then act accordingly. When you are younger, it will deter you from stealing sweets or comic books at a mamak shop just because the mamak had to go to his store to take some of the grocery lists you gave him. As you grow older, it stopped you from stealing the cash in some unattended purse in school.

It can even make sure that whatever you write in an email, blog, newspaper is the truth and not some baseless accusation.

When you already old, it probably makes your heart skip a beat knowing that not only is He eying on you but He is also expecting you to return to Him soon.

Have you ever had a huge hunch that someone is corrupt, but you dare not say it as it might not be true and instead of spreading the truth, you make a sinful slander (yes, I know all kinds of slander is sinful but I was just trying to stress that point). Eventually, because of that accusation, you have your sin recorded. If you have this feeling, but still say it anyway, then that’s a different matter. At least, you know what you are doing is wrong and hopefully you are given the opportunity to repent.

But if you do not have this feeling, I would suggest that you do some soul searching and try to re-remember (if there is such a word) that whatever thoughts that you think, say or even do, will certainly be under His Super Vision.

His Super Vision sees everything.

By remembering that, you remember Him.

Remember Him and He will remember you.

Believe me, it’s nice when you know that He remembers you.

He Was "It"


Last week I went out for a movie date with the Bride. We went to watch “This Is It”, twin seat lagi tu.


At 50 years of age, power seh mamat tu!


“This Is It” showed how Michael was when he was preparing for his ultimate 50 concerts. Wait, I do not think it is fair to use the word “preparing” with Michael. He had every single thing well planned in his head. He knew each and every part of his song, how his dancers should move, what kind of special effects and when / how it should be and every single detail of the entire performance in his head. He was very detailed and most importantly, he did it with love. Love for his passion. Love for his art. Love for his fans.


The show showed how he practiced with his macho dancers (which he himself chose and seriously… semua macho and power beb!), his back up singers and band. His dancers had a super time of their lives. All of them idolized Michael and became a dancer because of him. They then managed to get to dance with him as part of his extension. Although the concert did not materialize, I am sure they had loads of fun learning the moves from the man himself. There was one part when he, the King of Pop, gave the stage to his female guitarist whom he invited to perform with him via MySpace. He specifically mentioned that he wanted her to have the spotlight at HIS CONCERT! HOW COOL IS THAT?

You could also see how his dance steps changes with his mood on different days of his practise session.


He is such a perfectionist. His moves came from how he felt the song and how his mood was at that point of time. Soft spoken as he is, he was certainly leading the preparation of his concert. His voice… no need to comment on thatlah, it was exactly the same as it is in his album.


The Bride said that the stage is the only time she feels that Michael is free to do whatever he wants. I agree. He looked comfortable on stage. He looked like he is “It”.


It’s a sad fact he couldn’t perform what he had planned to. Just to show how influential he is, remember that guitarist I mentioned above? Her musical career is now skyrocketing like nobody’s business. All because of a simple message in MySpace by Michael.


Rezeki di mana saja… Kalau Dia nak bukak pintu tu… Maut pun tak boleh nak halang kita untuk menikmati rezekiNya.
