Pelakon Jangan Ketawa meninggal

KANGAR 8 Nov. -
Pelakon dan pelawak sitcom Jangan Ketawa, Munir Sheikh Mahmud atau lebih dikenali sebagai Moon meninggal dunia setelah diserang angin ahmar di rumah ibunya di Kampung Pokok Sawa, Mata Ayer, dekat sini hari ini.

Moon, 48, menghembuskan nafas terakhir ketika sedang tidur selepas menonton televisyen di ruang tamu rumahnya kira-kira pukul 11.30 pagi ini. Allahyarham yang tidak berkahwin meninggalkan seorang anak angkat, Fatin Nadia Abdullah, 12, yang kini bersekolah di Sekolah Kebangsaan Wangsa Jaya, Wangsa Maju, Kuala Lumpur. Jenazah Moon
dikebumikan di tanah perkuburan Islam, Oran, Mata Ayer selepas sembahyang Maghrib.

Turut menziarahi jenazah Allahyarham ialah isteri Menteri Besar Perlis, Datin Seri Shamsiah Mohd. Yassin, anggota Exco Kerajaan negeri, Khairi Hassan yang merupakan Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri kawasan Mata Ayer serta rakan-rakan artis termasuk Zainol Macwilson dan Dee.

Moon merupakan anak kedua bekas Mufti Perlis, Allahyarham Sheikh Mahmud Mohamad Saman yang berkhidmat sekitar tahun 1970-an. Moon yang sering berpasangan dengan Dee merupakan antara watak utama dalam sitcom Jangan Ketawa yang popular sekitar 1990an.
Bapa saudaranya, Mahzan Mahmud, 25, berkata, sebelum meninggal dunia, Moon sempat menjamah pulut ayam sebelum menonton televisyen hingga tertidur di atas sebuah kerusi di ruang tamu rumah tersebut. Menurutnya, arwah kemudian terjaga akibat diserang angin ahmar sebelum ahli keluarganya menelefon ambulans.

``Apabila ambulans sampai di rumah, Moon disahkan telah
meninggal dunia,'' katanya ketika ditemui di rumahnya dikampung itu. Mahzan memberitahu, anak saudaranya itu tidak menunjukkan sebarang perlakuan aneh ketika pulang ke kampung beraya pada 31 Oktober lalu.

Bagaimanapun, jelasnya, Moon pernah menyuarakan hasratnya untuk menetap terus di Perlis dan enggan pulang ke Kuala Lumpur selepas Hari Raya ini. Dengan hasratnya itu, katanya, Moon merancang untuk mendaftarkan Fatin Nadia di Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK) Syed
Sirajudin di sini dan membina sebuah rumah di kampung berkenaan.

``Saya tidak menyangka kata-katanya itu mempunyai pengertian yang amat mendalam apabila dia pergi bersemadi selama-lamanya di kampung ini,'' katanya.

وَآيَةٌ لَّهُمْ اللَّيْلُ نَسْلَخُ مِنْهُ النَّهَارَ فَإِذَا هُم مُّظْلِمُونَ
37. Dan suatu tanda (kekuasaan Allah yang besar) bagi mereka adalah malam; Kami tanggalkan siang dari malam itu, maka dengan serta merta mereka berada dalam kegelapan.

وَالشَّمْسُ تَجْرِي لِمُسْتَقَرٍّ لَّهَا ذَلِكَ تَقْدِيرُ الْعَزِيزِ الْعَلِيمِ
38. dan matahari berjalan ditempat peredarannya. Demikianlah ketetapan Yang Maha Perkasa lagi Maha Mengetahui.

Refference: Surah Yassin

marilah renungkan bersama-sama.

Eid 1426H - a past tense entry *mati la blog past-tense

Hmm...Where should I start? the day before lah.. ok ha... the main activity for me the day before Eid was to cook. I had obliged myself to my mom to cook this year, and I wanted to cook a meat dish without using santan for a start. So, I surfed the net as well as asked my colleagues if they happen to have any recipes taht I could try out, well Tini gave me one recipe, Isis almost gave me one *Die la Malbari and from the web I was tempted to try out Daging Nasi Kandar. Well, I then decided to KAK NAM my own recipe...heheh..Using the basic principles of making the usual rendang and bits and bobs of the recipes I picked... so mrasalah Masak Daging Yang I Tak Tahu Nak Kasi Nama Apa Janji NO SANTAN!

Inilah dia masakan yang telah di KAK NAM dengan jayanya. Mrasalah click kat kaler ijau atas tu ke Fotopages we ols.... ada snappy2 pixies of the proses memasak...

So, salosai masak tu at about 4ish.. siap main hujan ok sambil memasak itiew! hiks~ and so, bersiaplah untuk Iftar piuler... Oh, earlier on I sempat la pi gunting ghambut, beli bunga kat PS, pi Giant KJ sebelum mengabdikan diri di dapor..hehe... So, Iftar terakhir Ramadhan pun simple ajo... my sis beli lepat palas di Putrajaya, as well as rendang tok, tak dilupakan Dagin yang I masak tadi tu. Simple aje Iftarnye... lepas berbuka tu juger lah, baru la I sibuk nak pasang panjut. Aktiviti pasang panjut ni as I recall dengan past tense yang sangat past tense, dah 20 tahun dah kot, except for the two years I was in UK for Eid I dok pasang panjut ni utk Raye. Just nak timbulkan suasana raya tu sendiri. Well, Itu ajelah hiburan I u ols.. I basically grew up alone, my elder siblings mane heran sgt pun. So, sedang2 isi minyak tanah itiew, mrasalah Announcement Raya on Radio and TV. RAYA IS ESOK. Alhamdulillah... terus masuk bilik...n pasang takbir raya kuat2 on my PC.... hiks~ And my nephews and nieces pun datanglah untuk sessi bermain bunga api.... Pixies are all at my FOTOPAGES

After melayan my nephiews and nieces...its back to the kitchen for me.. this time to tackle the Kuah Kacang and Sambal Tumis Udang and Kosong..... another late night, wrapped up cooking at one and now..to attack the living room etc... heheh...NAsib baik my eldest sis was around to fill up the balang kuih... with ALL THE KUIH TUNJUK...hiks~

Woke up at about 7.45 am, huh, late! Got to get ready EXTRA QUICK as I need to rush for a parking space at the mosque ( had to get parking space at the front part of the mosque – My dad has to perform prayers seated and he could not walk very much these days). It was also raining, hence that explained WHY I overslept. Hehehe.

My mom called my mobile and informed me my dad was not able to go for the prayers, he is not feeling well and I have to take my eldest bro to the mosque. Oh Well.. what ever… So I took my dad’s 4 wheeler to the mosque and did what I was supposed to and after the Khutbah or Sermon, went back home.

After the usual forgive and forgiving session, went straight to the kitchen to dish out the dishes, and at about 11ish my sister’s friends started to come, as well as relatives. Well, actually my siblings started arriving first, one by one with their families (2 of them actually) and the house started to get noisy with my nephews and nieces screaming about playing with each other.

At about 4-ish only I managed to get to the cemetery to visit my grandparents and my niece’s grave at the Kampung Tunku Muslim Cemetary, I had a fine time looking for my niece’s grave, thank goodness it was just a few feet from my grandparents, yet I still had to get my bearings right. I did not know that the grave had already been marked with black marble headstone- the last time I visited the grave was during the funeral itself. After that visit, I felt kind of relieved, I don’t know why. Stopped by section 14 to top up my mobile and went back home.

Only then, I started eating the Raya Goodies I cooked, as well as the goodies brought in by my sister from her inlaws in Meru. Alhamdulillah…and, after 3 pieces of lemang, ketufet and its condiments.. my eyes started getting heavier…and heavier…and again.. I left my soul to ALLAH till I woke up again about 9 something just now, when my sister called me and reminded me to put some stuff in the fridge..hehe..



That was my 1st day of Syawal… I feel like doing the Puasa Sunat Syawal ( for a period of 6 days in the month of Syawal) tomorrow, insya ALLAH. Hmm…as for pictures.. Did not really document it well today, was busy doing this and that, but mrasalah fotopages I.

Selamat Hari Raya!

Kenangan Eid di Perantauan

Assalamualaikum w.m.

Today is the first day of Syawal, I woke up at about 7 45 a.m and got ready for the Eid Ul Fitr prayers. I was suposed to go with my dad, but my dad was not feeling well, so, I went with my eldest bro instead. Well, I'm going to write on my first day of Syawal in another entry. What sparked me to make this entry is actually from Mahmud's SMS from Edinburgh. Mahmud is a close friend of mie who is fnishing his PhD at the Edinburgh University and is expected back in March 2006. Well, we were there for our first term in Autumn 2002, and he VIVIDLY recalled that particular Eid we spent together. To live up the memory of Eid 1423H, ive posted a collection of pics at my fotopages. So, click on the picture below and be directed straight to my chosen collection of pictures of that particular Eid.

Mahmud, I am ever so thankful to have you at that time. Alhamdulillah! hehe..remember those bitchy sms's back to KL? "Selamat Hari Raya..KAMI RAYA DULU..hehe" and the moment we learnt it was Eid the next day after having Iftar at Palmyra...hehehe.. and the rest is history....so..mrasalah lihat pixies of that particular Eid...hehehe..... Dui!

Salam Aidilfitri

Allahuakbar Allah Hu Akbar, La illahailallah Huwallah Hu Akbar, Allahuakbar Walillah Ilhamd.

Assalamualaikum W.M.

At this moment I am feeling very touched. I do not know why. I feel sad, yet happy but very thankful to ALLAH SWT. I managed to go through the BEST EVER RAMADHAN I ever felt in my life. I do not know why. Only ALLAH knows best. Ya ALLAH, thank YOU for all the happiness and nikmat YOU had given me through out Ramadhan, i have not been good through out, but your with Your mercy and YOUR kindness, i do not know where to put myself Ya ALLAH.

Segala puji bagi MU ya Rabb, Tuhan Sekalian Alam, yang menguasai Kerajaan Langit dan Bumi. Terimalah segala ibadat kami sepanjang Ramadhan tahun ini dan jadikanlah segala ibadat kami itu sebahagian dari kebaikan untuk menebus diri kami di hadapan MU Ya ALLAH.

hmmm.. kemeriahan yang I rasa this year is different. So many things to think about..entah lah.. Speechless sket ni... hmmm... :P

Ok la yer my readers, and friends, family, whoever is reading this entry, saya, Nur Afifi Mohamed Taib, memohon ampun maaf atas segala perbuatan, perkataan secara langsung atau tidak. Marilah kita memanjatkan kesyukuran dan pujian kepadaNYA atas segala NIKMAT yang telah diberi kepada kita. Marilah ikhlaskan hati, jiwa dan raga kita kepadaNYA, semoga kita semua mendapat rahmat yang berterusan. Eid Mubarak. *hugs*
