Telah aku serahkan
asa terakhirku buatmu
Telah aku hulurkan
depa tangan penghabisan untukmu
Telah juga aku hamparkan
denai penghujungan kepadamu
Telah turut aku hadiahkan
ruang upaya penamatku bagimu
..
Namun kau makin menjauh
Menghanyut benak dan minda di hujung waktu
..
Masih adakah esok sebagai lembah harapan?
Masih adakah esok sebagai dataran impian?
..
Sedang lafaz tidak kunjung niat
Sedang niat tidak kunjung amalan
Sedang amalan tidak kunjung istiqamahnya
..
Masihkah aku harus menanti?
Mengharap esok pelangi meniti mentari
Lantaran sinarnya semakin surut
Menjejak kaki mega senja
Tanda alam semakin menganjak usia
..
Ya ALLAH!
Di sujud ini aku merintih
Pandulah aku memimpin diri
Antara mimpi dan realiti..
Ya Allah
hanya bagi-Mu segala puji
atas nikmat Kau kurniakan
Ya Allah Ya Rabbi
rahmatkanlah akan penghuluku, keluarga dan para
sahabatnya
rahmatkanlah akan segala anbia dan pesuruh-Mu
rahmatkanlah akan segala para wali dan syuhada
rahmatkanlah akan segala hamba-Mu yang beriman,
maka demi kebesaran dan kemuliaan-Mu
pula aku mohon kebajikan
pula aku mohon perlindungan,
berikanlah aku kekuatan imanku
banyak rezekiku panjang usiaku
dalam rahmat dan sejahtera-Mu.
Jauhilah daku dengan bala dan celaka
Jauhilah daku dengan dosa jahat dan duka nestapa
Ya Allah Ya Rahman
aku mohon limpah perkenan dan keampunan-Mu
aku mohon petunjuk dan keredaan-Mu.
Jadikanlah doaku ini tiang sinar cahaya
hikmatnya bisa menerangi ceruk rantau bumi
hikmatnya bisa menyapu buih-buih laut
hikmatnya bisa memindahkan setiap biji pasir Sahara.
Jadikanlah doaku ini senjataku
buatku perolehi kemenangan dunia akhirat-Mu
Ya Allah Ya Rahim
jauhilah umat-Mu
daripada pecah belah
jauhilah bangsaku
daripada lembah hina-dina
jauhilah kami
daripada jalan Kau murka
Ya Allah Ya Tuhanku
biar pada-Mu saja
kami berlindung.
Amin

SubhanALLAH! Indahnya bait-bait nukilan di atas. Semoga dalam kesibukan denai lopak perjuangan kita mencari dunia, masih utuh segumpal kalbu yang sentiasa menzahirkan syukur dan nikmat di atas segala limpah kurniaNya kepada kita. Dan semoga tidak pernah diizinNya kita menghambat sesat walau sesaat; melainkan hanya jejak RasulNya jua sahajalah yang kita gagahi dan kecapi. Maha Suci ALLAH, indahnya agamaMu. Alhamdulillah..
I was so far from You
Yet to me You were always so close
I wandered lost in the dark
I closed my eyes toward the signs
You put in my way
I walked everyday
Further and further away from You
Ooooo Allah, You brought me home
I thank You with every breath I take.
..
Alhamdulillah, Elhamdulillah
All praises to Allah, All praises to Allah
Alhamdulillah, Elhamdulillah
All praises to Allah, All praises to Allah.
..
I never thought about
All the things You have given to me
I never thanked You once
I was too proud to see the truth
And prostrate to You
Until I took the first step
And that’s when You opened the doors for me
Now Allah, I realized what I was missing
By being far from You.
..
Alhamdulillah, Elhamdulillah
All praises to Allah, All praises to Allah
Alhamdulillah, Elhamdulillah
All praises to Allah, All praises to Allah.
..
Allah, I wanna thank You
I wanna thank You for all the things that You’ve done
You’ve done for me through all my years I’ve been lost
You guided me from all the ways that were wrong
And did You give me hope
..
O Allah, I wanna thank You
I wanna thank You for all the things that You’ve done
You’ve done for me through all my years I’ve been lost

I wanna thank You for bringing me home

Alhamdulillah, Elhamdulillah
All praises to Allah, All praises to Allah

GBP/USD Comments:
• César Leiceaga: Trading above the 38.2% Fib in 1.5500s but in a similar situation to the euro. Trendline broken and looking heavy.
• ecPulse.com: A daily closing below 1.5545 is needed to confirm the bearishness
• Mohammed Isah: GBP is trying to recover higher falling its recent declines but continues to face bear pressure at 1.5648. Sideways trading should dominate price action in the coming week but with risk resuming its declines. Within three months, we are bullish on the pair.
• Dr. Sivaraman: Last month of the year -GBP could make some aggressive gains
• Yohai Elam: In the long term, austerity measures in the UK will hurt the pound.
• Ilian Yotov: The GBP could stay in the upper $1.50's if the U.K. economic data remains strong and if risk appetite makes a comeback.
EUR/USD Comments:
• César Leiceaga: Severe change in trend to bearish after eroding the bullish trendline and 200SMA. Looking for a deeper retracement to 1.20 area over the next months.
• ecPulse.com: 1.2795 MUST be breached to confirm month & Quarter trends
• Mohammed Isah: Our bias for the coming week is slightly to the upside as we expect the pair to correct further itsrecent declines. In one week to one month sideways trading could grip EUR.Our overall outlook remains bullish in three months.
• Dr. Sivaraman: last month of the year -EURO could make some aggressive gains.
• Yohai Elam: Some form of European QE could slow the weakening of the Euro.
• Valeria Bednarik: EUR extreme oversold conditions come into play, and the common currency is regaining ground against major rivals; such gains could extend in EUR/USD towards 1.35/6 before bearish trend resumes
USD/JPY Comments:
• Alberto Muñoz: If 84,75 is taken, then expect a strong bullish movement.
• César Leiceaga: Recovery in place after gaining upward momentum during the week. We need 83.00 area to hold on a weekly close to resume the renewed bullish trend.
• ecPulse.com: Trading above 83.80 would confirm the bullishness.
• Mohammed Isah: Consolidation looks to dominate price action the coming week as USDJPY is now hesitating,halting its nearer term recovery off 80.23. Risk remains higher nearer term but we still retain our long term bearish call in one to three months.
• Dr. Sivaraman: Last month of the year - USD/YEN could make some appreciable gains.
• Yohai Elam: A shift in US bonds can support the pair. It seems that USD/JPY found a bottom and it's slowly making it's way up.
• Valeria Bednarik: Downside continues limited in the pair, and further gains are still likely mid term talking. Consolidation Above 0.9700 is needed to keep the bias valid.
• Ilian Yotov: Improvement in investor sentiment and risk appetite, coupled with stronger U.S. economic data and higher Treasury yields could become the catalysts for the USD to revisit the post-intervention highs around 86 yen.
Keys:
• Bearish: Belief that a particular currency is about to fall in value; understood as a general pessimistic trend about the state of that given currency.
• Bullish: Belief that a particular currency is about to rise in value; understood as a general optimism about the state of that given currency.
• Sideways: A sideways trend manifests when the volume of a currency pair bought and the volume of the same pair sold at a particular price are in balance or nearly in balance.

Tengahari Sabtu, aku bawa anak dan isteri ke PWTC. Ada pameran KL International Motor Show 2010. Boleh tahan, walaupun mungkin tak setanding di Tokyo ataupun Paris. Banyak juga prototype yang dipamerkan, termasuklah Perodua Bezza (foto ketiga dari atas) dan versi siri 'Pahlawan' janaan Proton: Tuah, Jebat, Lekir (foto keempat dari atas), Lekiu dan Kasturi. Model-model terkini luar negara yang sedang dan akan memasuki pasaran tempatan juga turut dipamerkan, antaranya Nissan Teanna, Honda Insight, All-New Hyundai Sonata, Kia Sorento XM, Peugeot New207 dan Lexus LS600hL (sekadar menyebut beberapa jenama).
Turut dipamerkan adalah siri-siri model jenama mewah seperti Lotus, Porsche, Lambourghini, Ferrari, Masserrati, Brabus dan Mercedes. Tidak turut ketinggalan, pameran segmen motorbike daripada jenama unggul seperti Harley-Davidson, Aprillia dan Ducati juga menarik perhatian para pengunjung.
Namun, aku pastinya paling tertarik pada All-New Kia Optima yang hanya akan tiba di pasaran Malaysia pada tahun hadapan. Entah bila yang lama akan berganti baru.. :-)
Ku berserah padaMu, Ya ALLAH..
Albert Einstein pernah dipetik sebagai berkata:
".. the most powerful force in the universe is compound interest."
Dengan terma rujukan kita sebagai seorang Muslim, ia boleh kita terima dengan limitasi kepada konteks unsur 'baharu' hasil penemuan aqliah pemikiran seorang manusia ciptaan ALLAH Yang Maha Esa.
Ironinya, bagaimana seorang "a great man of science" memandang tinggi kepada sebuah konsep matematikal dan ekonomi. Malahan di dalam dunia Forex, konsep 'compound interest' merupakan salah satu elemen motivasi utama yang mengikat para pengamalnya kekal menjuarai kecekalan dan ketabahan untuk terus berjuang mencapai matlamat yang diidamkan. Dalam lain perkataan, ia menghayati konsep exponential growth yang secara amali dipraktikkan dalam teorem-teorem amaliah para sarjana bidang-bidang sains, matematik dan ekonomi.
Pun begitu, aku tidak berhajat untuk menulis tentang konsep tersebut. Setidak-tidaknya, bukan kali ini. Mungkin di dalam tulisan-tulisanku yang akan datang, aku akan berkesempatan mengulasnya. Lagipun, ia bukan asing lagi buat para pedagang Forex hari ini. Maklumat berkenaannya semudah menaip kata kunci "compound interest" dalam enjin carian Google dan.. nahh!! Dalam masa 0.11 saat sahaja, sebanyak sekurang-kurangnya 3,150,000 hasilan akan disenaraikan!

Sebenarnya, aku tertarik dengan sebuah lagi penemuan hebat akal manusia hasil izin Dia Yang Maha Kuasa. DNA! Atau istilah penuhnya, Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid. Penemuan struktur "double-helix" DNA oleh James D. Watson dan Francis Crick pada 1953 telah membuka sebuah lembaran baru kepada sejarah pengkajian hidupan di peringkat genom dan biologi sel yang sehingga kini membawa kepada lahirnya era industri Bioteknologi dan Kejuruteraan Genetik. Untuk rekod, kedua-dua saintis, bersama-sama dengan Maurice Wilkins telah dianugerahkan Hadiah Nobel di dalam bidang Fisiologi/ Perubatan pada tahun 1962.
Kenapa DNA? Apa ada kaitannya dengan Forex? Adakah mungkin kaitannya struktur "double-helix" DNA itu dengan struktur "open positions" pada Forex? Apakah ada sesuatu yang boleh diambil pengajaran jika kita membandingkan bes-bes A, C, G dan T pada struktur "double-helix" tersebut dengan susunan-susunan "bid" dan "ask" harga pair pada struktur "open positions" di dalam Forex? Wallahu A'lam.
Jika "compound interest" yang merupakan sebuah teorem Matematik dapat dikaitkan dengan bidang Ekonomi, tidak mustahil dengan sedikit pengubahsuaian, konsep struktur "double-helix" DNA juga boleh 'diserasikan' ke dalam bidang yang lain.
Berbaik sangkalah kita terhadap keizinanNya..
Wallahu A'lam.
EUR/USD Comments:
• Adam Narczewsk: There is still a downside potential for the EUR/USD but I believe in a rebound as the investment world calms down after the "Irish crisis" and takes into account the macro news showing recovery
• Mohammed Isah: With attempts on the upside meeting bear pressure at 1.3781 and turning EUR back lower through the 1.3445 level on Nov 23'10, nearer term risk remains lower towards the 1.3332/1.3232 levels. That zone is likely to turn the pair higher due to its technical significance.Our overall outlook remains bullish in one(with caution) to three months.
• Dr. Sivaraman: EURO is expected to gain quickly with least selling pressure for year end
• César Leiceaga: Headed towards trendline support in 1.3300/30 now that the weekly close confirmed the top. Some bullish reaction is expected at this levels but long term bias remains bearish.
• ecPulse.com: 1.3250 is the key now. Breaching it will damage any chances for a short term recovery.
• Ilian Yotov: The EUR is still correcting a significant portion of its summer/fall gains vs. USD. The pair could grind even lower, but if more details on the Irish bailout are revealed and if risk appetite makes a comeback, the EUR could catch some bids that could send it back to the upper $1.30's.
• Yohai Elam: Irish debt issues erupted earlier than expected. They will continue weighing on the Euro for quite some time.It seems that we also see an things speeding up regarding Portugal and Spain
• Valeria Bednarik: Breaking the ascendant trend coming from 1.1870 yearly low, pair has set a midterm bearish trend that would likely extend below 1.30 in the upcoming weeks.
..
GBP/USD Comments:
• Mohammed Isah: Bearish nearer term risk continues to dominate after GBP turned lower below the 1.5837 level on Nov 23'10.Further momentum build up should target the 1.5648 level where a cap is expected. Within one(with caution) to three months, we are bullish on the pair.
• Dr. Sivaraman: GBP is expected to make very bullish rise moves till year end
• César Leiceaga: Bullish trendline in 1.5900s eroded this week, waiting for deeper setbacks over the coming months.
• ecPulse.com: The value of 1.5290 is the main technical target over short term basis and the most important factor is the breakout below the uptrend line that carried the wave from 1.4225 to 1.6300
• Ilian Yotov: The GBP could make another attempt at the $1.60's if the U.K. economic data remains strong and if risk appetite makes a comeback after the details on the Irish bailout are revealed.
• Yohai Elam: In the long term, austerity measures in the UK will hurt the pound.
• Valeria Bednarik: Pound remains long term range bound, with a slightly bearish tone, yet only below 1,52, not seen at this point, the bearish trend could be triggered.
..
USD/JPY Comments:
• Mohammed Isah: A lot of price hesitation ahead of the 83.97 level following USDJPY nearer term recovery staged from the 80.23 level is now seen. That level stands between trend continuation and correction. Within one to three months we are bearish on the pair.
• Dr. Sivaraman: YEN is expected to weaken for year end
• César Leiceaga: Gaining upward momentum on the close above 83.00s and consolidating to resume its way up to 86.00 area.
• ecPulse.com: The pair might show some kind of calmness and stability, but an upside price explosion is under preparation according to the pair's behavior around 23.6% fibonacci level for the last downside wave from 95.00 to 80.20.
• Ilian Yotov: Improvement in investor sentiment and risk appetite, coupled with stronger U.S. economic data and higher Treasury yields could become the catalysts for the USD to revisit the post-intervention highs around 86 yen.
• Yohai Elam: A shift in US bonds can support the pair. It seems that USD/JPY found a bottom. There's upside risk for the pair from the Korean crisis, if it doesn't calm down as the markets expect.
• Valeria Bednarik: Unchanged since last updates, the bias remains bullish in the cross. Still 100 DMA around 84.30 remains key level to overcome, to confirm further gains in the upcoming weeks
• Adam Narczewsk: There is still a downside potential for the EUR/USD but I believe in a rebound as the investment world calms down after the "Irish crisis" and takes into account the macro news showing recovery
