Satu kajian oleh phonepiggybank.com membuktikan kebanyakan wanita secara purata menerima dan melakukan panggilan telefon sebanyak 288,000 kali iaitu 42,000 jam atau 4.75 tahun dalam seumur hidup berbanding lelaki.
Lelaki didapati membuat 277,000 panggilan sepanjang hidup mereka yang mengambil masa purata selama 28,500 jam atau 3.25 tahun.
Hampir 55 peratus dari panggilan yang dilakukan adalah membabitkan kerja manakala 45 peratus lagi untuk tujuan peribadi.
Namun begitu, tempoh satu panggilan peribadi adalah lebih lama sehingga mencecah selama 10 minit berbanding panggilan kerja yang dilakukan kurang dari lima minit.
Wanita di London dikesan menghabiskan masa selama 14 jam 16 minit seminggu bercakap melalui telefon diikuti dengan gadis Liverpool mencapai 13 jam 48 minit seminggu manakala wanita di Birmingham bercakap selama 13 jam 27 minit.
"Mudah tersasar dari masa yang ditetapkan ketika bercakap melalui telefon. Wanita lebih cenderung bercakap berbanding lelaki," kata jurucakap phonepiggybank.com. - Agensi

Manchester United midfielder Ryan Giggs has been named Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year - the first time he has won the award in his glittering career.
The 35-year-old had picked up the young player's award twice and has now been voted for the top accolade by his fellow professionals following his exemplary season, which looks likely to end with his 11th Premier League title.
"It's right up there, with personal accolades it's the best to have as it's voted by your fellow players,'' Giggs said.
"I've been fortunate to win a lot of trophies, I won the young player award twice, but this is the big one.''
Giggs has only started 12 league games this season but has been a regular in the squad for all competitions, with the award acknowledging the respect he has from opponents.
If he plays against Arsenal in the Champions League semi-final first leg this week, it will be his 800th appearance for United, although the landmark is not as important to him as adding to his trophy haul.
"It's an exciting season,'' he said. "I think it is going to go right to the wire, there's big game after big game now. That is what you want and need at a club like Manchester United.''
Giggs paid tribute to his manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, and also suggested he may play on beyond his current contract, which expires at the end of next season.
"The manager has been massive in my career from when I first met him when I was 13,'' Giggs said.
"That's over 20 years and he knows me better than anyone and our relationship has been brilliant and just gets better.
"I've been so fortunate to have such a great career in so many great teams, it's not even worth thinking about what it would have been like without the manager.''
The Welshman has started taking his coaching badges, which may be a hint at the future, but he added: "As long as I'm getting picked, enjoying it and injury-free, I'll carry on as long as I can. At 35 you can't look too far into the distance, you just can't.''
Aston Villa winger Ashley Young picked up the Young Player of the Year award and believes it is a sign of the progress his club have made this season.
"It's a massive achievement for the club and my team-mates around me,'' Young said. "It's a great honour and I'm delighted.''
John McDermott, the former Grimsby player who spent 20 years at the club, was given the Merit award for his services to the game.
"I thought it was one of the lads winding me up, a real shock,'' he said. "To still be recognised, I was flattered and honoured.''
The PFA divisional team of the year has six United players and also included Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka, who was in goalscoring form until the votes were cast but has not found the net since February. Portsmouth right-back Glen Johnson was also included.
Premier League team of the year: Van der Sar, G Johnson, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, A Young, Gerrard, Giggs, Ronaldo, Anelka, Torres

KUALA LUMPUR, April 25 — B. Balendran is just like any other devout Hindu who celebrates Deepavali and does not eat beef. But in his free time, he attends political rallies by PAS and helps to recruit new members for its Supporters' Club.
And he actively campaigned for the conservative Islamic party during last year's general election.
The 25-year-old engineer has roped in two of his sisters and several friends to join what he says is the best party to govern Malaysia.
Balendran's view: “If PAS takes over Malaysia, I will be very happy because there will be no more corruption and Malaysia will be in a good situation.”
The PAS Supporters' Club for non-Muslims was founded in 2004 with just 100 members, said its founder, Hu Pang Chow.
Its membership was at 10,000 last year, but has surged to 50,000 since the opposition made big gains in the general election and PAS joined the Pakatan Rakyat opposition alliance, he said.
Unlike ordinary party members, those who join the Supporters' Club become associate PAS members and cannot vote in office bearers.
So why do non-Muslims opt for PAS, instead of the secular DAP or the multi-racial Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR)?
Hu said those who join the club see PAS as “being the most principled and sincere”. The bulk of the members are ethnic Indians.
Some members are avoiding PKR, which is seen by some Indians as not being strong in supporting Indian issues. And some Indians feel that DAP is too Chinese-centric.
Said N. Balasubramaniam, chairman of the Indian chapter of the club: “DAP and PKR have their own rules, but whether they follow them or not is up to them.”
He said it is different for PAS, which has to strictly follow Islamic teachings.
PAS has always been demonised by ruling Barisan Nasional coalition leaders as the party that will implement its strict version of Islam in Malaysia.
But Balendran said he is not worried about the PAS aim of setting up an Islamic state or implementing syariah laws — including hudud, which prescribes amputation and stoning — because he says such laws would apply only to Muslims.
The increasing acceptance of PAS by non-Muslims was displayed during the general election in March last year when Kumutha Rahman ran for the party. She contested under the PKR flag as the PAS constitution does not allow non-Muslims to run on its ticket.
Although she lost, her candidacy was seen as a breakthrough for both the Islamic party and the Indian community.
And during that election campaign, non-Muslim Indians and Chinese were openly waving the flag of the Islamic party and helping in door-to-door canvassing.
To be sure, part of the enthusiasm to join a political party by the Indians was a follow-up from the mammoth rally organised by the Hindu Rights Action Force in November 2007, which was met with police water cannon and tear gas.
Many of the party-less Indians opted for the opposition parties after losing hope in the MIC led by the unpopular Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu.
The steady 18-year rule by PAS of Kelantan has also boosted trust among some non-Muslims, said Hu.
Social scientist Sivamurugan Pandian of Universiti Sains Malaysia also credits PAS's religious credentials for its popularity.
“It has religion as its backbone and the perception is that it is more sincere and will be able to uphold equality and the welfare of the people,” he said.
PAS has also toned down its rhetoric on an Islamic state with the emergence of more moderate-minded young leaders.
“It will become an alternative on its own in the future if Pakatan Rakyat fails to maintain its coalition with PKR and DAP,” he told The Straits Times.
PAS is now working towards setting up a full-member wing for non-Muslims within the party.
This is expected to happen by next year, pending approval from its central chiefs and an amendment to the party constitution.
“PAS leaders now realise, in this multiracial community, that they cannot survive alone. They need the support of the non-Malays, or else there is no way for them to win,” said Hu. — Straits Times

bukan islam pon support PAS
kl yg faham konsep Islam, xkn takut pnya ttg hudud n sbgainya
masalahnya adlh pihak tertentu yg mnakutkn bkn Islam
kita x bley salahkn bkn Islam
tp kl org Islam sndiri yg tkt n mnktkn phk lain, mmg dia yg brmasalah
Supposely Malaysia and as Muslim kita xde n x ptt ade relationship dgn Israel tp ada la plak yg wat persembahan pasal kebudayaan Israel dari kalangan kita plak tuh ish...ish...

GRADUATION DAY – VITAMIN C
And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels
[1] - As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come Whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever
So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Will Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels
[Repeat 1]
La, la, la, la:
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la:
We will still be friends forever
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
[Repeat 1 (3x)]
Sir Alex Ferguson has warned Cristiano Ronaldo not to let his frustration get the better of him and told the World Player of the Year: "You can't get everything your own way." The Manchester United winger has cut a frustrated figure at times this season and was guilty of giving the ball away in the lead-up to goals for Aston Villa and Porto in the last week.
Ronaldo was the key figure in United's march to the Premier League and Champions League double last season but boss Ferguson has made sure the Portuguese star knows what is expected.
He said: "No, I don't accept that he will give goals away because of the player he is, I speak to him about it. I don't accept that from anyone.
"In European football, if you give the ball away it takes a long time to get it back.
"He always feels he's not getting the proper protection from referees and I think that, maybe, in quite a few cases he is right, and a few cases he is not right.
"It's hard when a player who wants to entertain doesn't get everything his own way. But you can't get everything your own way.
"He understands that and there's not a problem with that. It's just a frustration that he feels he doesn't get the decision and he gets upset about it.
"I think, obviously, he doesn't enjoy that and he knows he's letting himself down more than anything.
"He holds his hands up. I have had to remind him about that but I'm not getting into what has been said."

Di dalam surah Al-Baqarah, ayat 186, Allah telah berfirman, “..Aku perkenankan permohonan orang yang berdoa apabila ia berdoa kepadaKu. Maka hendaklah mereka menyahut seruanku (dengan mematuhi perintahKu), dan hendaklah mereka beriman kepadaKu supaya mereka menjadi baik serta betul. ”
Firman Allah lagi di dalam surah Ghafir ayat 55, “Berdoalah kamu kepadaKu nescaya Aku perkenankan doa permohonan kamu. Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang sombong takbur daripada beribadat dan berdoa kepadaKu, akan masuk neraka Jahannam dalam keadaan hina.”
Kedua-dua ayat ini menunjukkan Allah menyuruh semua umat Islam berdoa kepadaNya, seterusnya beriman dengan mematuhi perintahNya. Mereka yang tidak memohon sesuatu daripada Allah dikategorikan sebagai orang yang sombong dan takbur.
Menurut An-Nu’man Bin Basyir, Rasulullah pernah berkata , “Doa itu termasuk ibadah,” lalu beliau membaca ayat 55 dari surah Ghafir seperti di atas.[1] Di dalam riwayat lain, Rasulullah telah bersabda, “Tiada sesuatu pun yang lebih mulia di sisi Allah Azza wa Jalla selain daripada doa.” [2]
Di dalam konteks mencari pasangan hidup, amalan berdoa perlu dimulakan sejak awal. Setelah berniat dengan betul, doa diteruskan secara konsisten sepanjang masa. Mudah-mudahan Allah mempertemukan dengan pasangan hidup yang dapat menjamin kesejahteraan di dunia dan di akhirat.
Berikut merupakan antara 9 petua dari Rasulullah s.a.w. untuk mencapai doa yang mustajab yang sempat saya sertakan :
1. Anas Bin Malik meriwayatkan bahawa Rasulullah bersabda, “Doa di antara azan dan iqamat tidak akan ditolak.” [3]
2. Sesungguhnya Rasulullah bersabda: Allah akan turun ke langit dunia setiap malam ketika sepertiga malam yang terakhir, seraya berfirman: Sesiapa yang berdoa kepadaKu, maka Aku akan menerima permintaannya dan sesiapa yang meminta keampunan dariKu maka Aku akan mengampuninya. [4]
3. Abu Hurairah meriwayatkan bahwa Rasulullah bersabda, “Tiga orang yang tidak ditolak doanya, iaitu pemimpin yang adil, orang berpuasa ketika dia berbuka dan orang yang dianiaya. Allah mengangkat doa-doa itu ke awan dan pintu-pintu langit dibuka.” [5]
4. Ibnu Abbas meriwayatkan bahawa Rasulullah bersabda, “Aku dilarang membaca Al-Quran ketika sujud dan rukuk. Waktu yang paling dekat di antara hamba dan tuhanNya adalah ketika sujud, maka perbanyakkanlah doa ketika itu.” [6]
5. Hadis Abu Hurairah r.a, Nabi s.a.w bersabda: “Jika kamu mendengar ayam jantan berkokok, pohonlah kurnia daripada Allah, kerana sesungguhnya binatang tersebut melihat malaikat. Jika kamu mendengar keldai memekik, pohonlah perlindungan daripada Allah dari godaan syaitan, kerana binatang tersebut melihat syaitan.” [7]
6. Ubadah Bin As-Shamit berkata bahawa Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. bersabda, “Sesiapa yang bangun pada malam hari dan mengatakan,
Kemudian mengatakan, atau berdoa, doanya akan dimakbulkan. Apabila beliau berwudhu (dan mengerjakan solat malam), solatnya akan diterima Allah.” [8]
7. Ata Bin Abi Rabah berkata “Telah sampai padaku bahawa Rasulullah bersabda, sesiapa yang membaca surah Yassin pada permulaan hari maka segala hajatnya akan dipenuhkan.” [9]
8. Hadith dari Abu Hurairah, Rasulullah bersabda, “Doa seseorang itu akan dikabulkan selagi dia tidak terburu-buru menyebabkan dia berkata: Aku berdoa tetapi tidak dimakbulkan.” [10]
9. Hadith dari Abu Hurairah, “Rasulullah memperkatakan mengenai hari Jumaat. Lalu baginda bersabda, pada hari Jumaat itu ada suatu saat. Bilamana seorang muslim dapat menepatinya dalam keadaan sedang berdoa, memohon sesuatu daripada Allah, pasti dia akan dianugerahkan apa yang dipohonnya itu.” [11]

Solat fardu yang dituntut ke atas setiap mukalaf wajib ditunaikan selagi tiada halangan syarie yang menghalang dari melakukannya kefarduan tersebut.
Jumhur ulama sepakat mengatakan wajib mengqada solat yang tertinggal, sama ada secara sengaja ataupun kerana keuzuran.
Hadis Rasulullah SAW yang bermaksud: Sekiranya ada sesiapa di antara kalian yang tertidur dari solat (sehingga terluput waktu), atau terlupa dari menunaikannya maka hendaklah dia menunaikan solat tertinggal atau yang terlupa itu apabila dia teringat, sesungguhnya Allah SWT berfirman yang bermaksud: Dirikanlah solat semata-mata ingat pada-Ku. (riwayat Muslim, jld:1, hlm:477).
Maksud dua keuzuran syarie yang berlaku melalui fitrah manusia, pertama tertidur dan yang kedua terlupa. Sekiranya kedua-dua keadaan sama ada terlupa mahupun tertidur, maka hendaklah diqada solat itu. Mengqadakan solat yang sengaja ditinggalkan tentu adalah lebih utama.
Hadis Rasulullah yang lain bermaksud: Hutang Allah lebih utama dilangsaikan. (riwayat al-Bukhari, jld:3, hlm:46)
Mengqada ibadat yang fardu adalah wajib dan ia hutang yang tertanggung ke atas setiap individu muslim tidak boleh tidak wajib ditunaikan. Dengan demikian wajiblah bagi setiap orang yang meninggalkan solat atau mana-mana kefarduan yang lain tanpa keizinan syarak wajib melangsaikannya sebelum bertemu ajal.
Tunaikan setiap waktu yang tertinggal dengan mengqadanya pada waktu-waktu yang anda mampu melakukannya.
Contohnya diharuskan bagi mereka yang ingin mengqada solat yang tertinggal dengan melakukan qada pada bila-bila masa, asalkan bukan pada waktu larangan. Waktu itu ialah selepas waktu solat fajar dan selepas solat asar sehingga masuk waktu maghrib, atau lebih tepat ketika naik matahari dan ketika tenggelam matahari.
Tiada alasan
Selain daripada kedua waktu ini adalah harus melakukan qada, seperti selepas solat zuhur, maghrib. Ini kerana mengqada ibadat adalah wajib disegerakan dan tidak boleh bertangguh.
Adalah lebih baik saudara utamakan solat qada daripada solat-solat sunat, tetapi lebih baik kalau kedua-duanya dipelihara bersama.
Namun, kedudukan solat sunat adalah mengikut kesempatan dan kelapangan tetapi solat yang wajib yang tertinggal mesti dicari masa untuk mengqadanya.
Maksudnya, selepas solat fardu maghrib boleh mengqada solat asar, selepas zuhur boleh mengqada solat subuh, maksudnya tidak semestinya mengqada solat yang tertinggal pada waktunya.
Sebenarnya tiada alasan yang boleh kita berikan kenapa kita tidak mahu qada dan tidak sempat. Kalau diteliti, kita ada masa yang cukup untuk mengqada solat yang tertinggal tetapi pelbagai variasi alasan yang diberikan atas kealpaan itu.
Apa yang menghairankan kita ialah sikap manusia yang sempat melakukan aktiviti-aktiviti sehariannya. Menonton televisyen, minum di kedai kopi, melayan khidmat pesanan ringkas (sms), makan dan minum, baca akhbar, melayan e-mel, melayari Internet dan pelbagai lagi aktiviti sememangnya sempat kita lakukan. Tetapi apabila membicarakan masa solatatau qada solat yang wajib, kenapa pula tidak sempat?
Kenapa? Jawapannya, kita tidak serius dalam melakukan perintah Allah SWT. Kadang-kadang manusia lebih takut kepada perintah yang dikeluarkan oleh ketuanya berbanding arahan yang dikeluarkan oleh Tuhan yang mencipta, memberi kehidupan dan rezeki kepadanya.
Allah wajib dipatuhi, ketua juga wajib dipatuhi, tetapi apabila bertembung arahan ketua dan arahan Allah SWT, maka arahan Allah mesti diutamakan.
Contohnya Allah memerintahkan kita solat, ketua kita suruh kita jangan solat, maka perintah Allah mesti diutamakan berbanding dengan perintah ketua.
Selagi mana seseorang itu tidak mengqada solat, selagi itulah taubatnya tidak diterima Allah SWT.
