Our crazy day wif school uniform...;)

Last few weeks, my friend and I were making plan to celebrate my friend Hainim last time as a bachelor, next week she'll be getting married to a lucky guy name Firdaus. She and Qistin were making plan, I and Peyuz just follow the plan accordingly, its kinda bachelor party for us. At the beginning I personally have no idea whats the plan really is. The 'crazy time' they called happened on 3 days, but I only joined them on the second day. On the second day, we need to wear our old school uniform and take picture at special venue. I don't believe what had gone to my friend head, and at first I think I won't do it because I don't have any uniform. But at last I let my creativity runs wild, I found an idea, find my cloth that seem like a school uniform, hehee...so at last we gathered for the last time wearing and pretend to be a school kids once again. Look like our show are pretty convincing...yahoo!!!       

Mysterious May

Usually people would be excited having celebrated their birthday, but I find myself quite a downer when reach my birthday. For me its just a date to remember because i'm born on that day, and I don't celebrate my birthday. Around my birthday there are plenty of occasion that people around the world celebrate, there are Mother's day, Labour day, Wesak day (for Buddish), Teacher's day and so on. This is a month full of celebration and happy day, but there are also other date in my diary that brings bad memories that I would never forget. In 5th May a day that my father's died 9 years ago, in 27 May 2005 a few of my friends died in car crash. To add to my unhappiness on my birthday 15 of May is also a Nakba Day. Its won't cheer you up when its call a disaster day when millions had died at that day to defend for their right. Here are some of the description of Nakba Day. But it doesn't mean that I hate my birthday, just the feeling of celebrating it aren't that enthusiastic, but I do celebrate others birthday. For me its important to remember others birthday especially people that is close to you like your family and friend, because it show that you love and respect them and always remember them. To all you out there that celebrate your birthday in May "Happy Birthday and god bless you".

Nakba day according to wikipedia meaning "day of the catastrophe" is an annual day of commemoration for the Palestinian people of the displacement that accompanied the creation of Israel in 1948.^[1] It is generally commemorated on May 15, the day after the Gregorian calendardate for Israeli independence day (Yom Ha'atzmaut). During the 1948 Palestine War, an estimated 700,000 Palestinians were expelled or fled, and hundreds of Palestinian villages were depopulated and destroyed.^[2][3] The vast majority of Palestinian refugees, both those outside the 1949 armistice lines at the war's conclusion and those internally displaced, were barred by the newly declared state of Israel from returning to their homes or reclaiming their property.^[2][3]

These refugees and their descendants number several million people today, divided between Jordan (2 million), Lebanon (427,057), Syria (477,700), the West Bank (788,108) and the Gaza Strip (1.1 million), with at least another quarter of a million internally displaced Palestinians in Israel.^[4] The displacement, dispossession and dispersal of the Palestinian people is known to them as al-Nakba, meaning "the catastrophe," or "the disaster."^[5][6][7]

Prior to its adoption by the Palestinian nationalist movement, the "Year of the Catastrophe" among Arabs referred to 1920, when European colonial powers partitioned the Ottoman Empire into a series of separate states along lines of their own choosing.^[8] The term was first used to reference the events of 1948 in the summer of that same year by the Syrian writer Constantine Zureiq in his work Ma'na al-Nakba ("The Meaning of the Nakba"; published in English in 1956).^[9]

Initially, use of the term Nakba among Palestinians was not universal. For example, many years after 1948, Palestinian refugees in Lebanon avoided and even actively resisted using the term, because it lent permanency to a situation they viewed as temporary, and they often insisted on being called "returnees."^[10] In the 1950s and 1960s, terms they used to describe the events of 1948 were more eupheumistic and included al-ightisab ("the rape"), al-ahdath ("the events"), al-hijra ("the exodus"), and lamma sharna wa tla'na ("when we blackened our faces and left").^[10] Nakba narratives were avoided by the leadership of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in Lebanon in the 1970s, in favor of a narrative of revolution and renewal.^[10] Interest in the Nakba by organizations representing refugees in Lebanon surged in the 1990s due to the perception that the refugees' right of return might be negotiated away in exchange for Palestinian statehood, and the desire was to send a clear message to the international community that this right was non-negotiable.^[10]

Though the Nakba refers to the events of 1948, their continued salience due to the irresolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has prompted Palestinians like Mahmoud Darwish to describe the Nakba as, "an extended present that promises to continue in the future."^[7]
