Assalamualaikum.

Hello. May peace be upon you.

Keeping silent is not my habitual thing, though I am trying not to.

I've moved

2014-07-09T15:08:00.001+08:00

I've moved,
The dirt,
Don't come close,
I would really hate to leave you again.

I've moved,
My friends,
But I'm me,
Farah or Afu or whatever you call me is,
Always.

I've moved,
Do you want to come with me?
Maybe the new place is rather uncomfortable at first,
Maybe more strangers,
Do you wanna follow me?

I've moved,
To better place,
To real place,
To the Real One.
InshaAllah.

I've moved,
And you should know,
I would really hate to decline our usual time-together,
I restrain myself for a movie in cinema, not the room,
I prefer sunnah rather than adat,
I love majlis ilmu, I love masjid.

I've moved,
And pray for me is what I hope,
Pray for you is always I am,
Because I want to be neighbor with you in Jannah,
Ameen.

That is it.
The intention is: to focus on my umrah and my studies. InshaAllah.

Yes, that is bit cheeky secret code(? or sentence), but I insist you to use that. Heee.

my number: +33 6 47 95 69 71.

Yerp, my what-apps number is bit weird, and when I got to confirm your identity, I'll give u my Line number, heee.

See you and please2, doa and pray that I will perform in Haramain, inshaAllah, and many thanks.

It's blurry photo, but I kept missing this view from my window when I was in France. Miss every bit of myself while I was there. But, fortunately, IIUM offers me life hereafter, which is much much more intriguing and worthy, friends who keep reminding me and the environment is too lovely to leave out.

Thanks Allah, for this path of my life.

Salam

Concept of couple has to be realized. New and old. Beautiful and ugly. Night and Day.
However, do you realized, any of these, has only one value, for instance, how old is the 'New'? How night is the 'Day', and how ugly is the beautiful? Everything is actually once at those state, and after that, it is all the degree of it's opposite. For instance, 2013 is old, but, 2003 is older, though, 2014 is getting old too. Getting this point is not easy. The concept of God is the opposite of it. He has no degree of oldness, or beautifulness. He has no start, and no end. Because He is the one.

Today is 2014, 6th day in this year of Al-Maseh. And I'm going to be 27 for both year, Hijrah and Al-Maseh. Mostly people will construct some resolutions that need to be achieved by the end of this year. I have inscribed it only in my mind most of the time, no concrete evidence that I've made one every year. Thus, that mostly comes in vain. However, I'm writing this one, to make sure that I'll make it up. I wanted to confess to that particular guy by the end of this year, if and only if he is not married or not getting to. Though I don't really know what is his status now. InshaAllah, but with the condition that I'm not attached to anyone thus far.

Last night, I'm thinking of writing a novel or maybe short story, that is half reality and half fantasy. Happened to me thus far. Then, I re-tthink, may be the only motivation I need now is the engraved knowledge of how importance is to complete an amanah, and how to be able to comprehend the time management. I'm very lack of both, thus, I need them at first, before any big commitment come right after. As time passed by, everyone is getting older, and time flies fast. That is for sure. When someone came up with the idiom that said; time is gold. In my thought, I guess, he is not old enough to say it. Because for me, time is not gold, it is much much more expensive than that. Anyone is not possible to buy the time that has passed. No One. No One. Time is past. That is a sure thang.

Hope. Apparently, most English movies I've watched are revolved around the word 'Hope' and their interpretation about it. As I've posted in previous post, Hope is like the next best thing before magic. We hope we will get straight A's though we know, there is possibilities that we can't if we don't study much. Though we have studied, those A's is not an exact output, there is possibility that we may fall ill during the examination, and failed the test. Thus, we hope that everything went smooth, though we are really not sure what happens next. It is the next best thing before magic. Back to those English movies, they hope for better, and turn to God, when nothing they can do to make anything balanced and corrected again. Only thing is Hope. But for Muslim, every day in our life, we hope to Allah. Our hope is much more miracle than that. We hope everything is fine, though we have go through the life with no hardship or whatsoever, because Allah teaches us to hope for Him, He is the giver and the taker, He can give and He can take whatever He wants, because He is the creator, The everything consists in what we have see and experience so far. Nothing belong to us. Thus, we hope for Him everytime.

I have to end it here, because I don't think there is good point in here to for me to elaborate more and I should re-think about the cons of writing a novel, I'm seeing a lot right now. Hehhahaha.

Nufas.
In Lab in IIUM.
Contemplating of her life afterwards.

Littlest something from my heart

2013-12-28T23:52:00.000+08:00

Salam.
(As usual read as Assalamuaalaikum, and Peace be upon you.)

The weather is bit random nowadays, rain and sunny is like office hours. Climate changes is everywhere. World is not a peace place anymore, plus people heart changes and wavers too.

Those sentences are my failing tries to write. Just watched movie titles 'The Words', it inspires me to write again. Though I am not sure whether my blog posts can be classified as writing or not, haha. I write in lot of genre, but all are very short, mostly less than 10 minutes reading. But the movie inspires me to write more than 10 minutes worth of reading. I've lack of confidence of it somehow, due to workload that I always disregard. Yes, I'm a un-official PhD student now. My official entry is this 22nd Jan. Pray for me. For those who don't know, I'm furthering my studies in IIUM, am back here, to the most sacred place I've ever been.

Let me describe what is IIUM for me. It is where I learnt what is the true meaning of friendship, where I found happiness and most importantly where I found peace. Yes, I was in France before, but this peace you have in IIUM is not the same peace you will get anywhere else. I found true friends here, those who taught you life before the real life begun. Thanks Allah for this opportunity. And thank you ma and ayah for the encouragements all along. This university taught me to be shameful to do bad things, encourages me to do good things, to be more independence and thinks more about real life. Let me met new people with new inspirations. And Ya Allah, please let me meet my other half here too. Ameen. InshaAllah, I'll be here for the next 3 years also. Please ease my journey and let me walk in the fitrah. Ameen.

To be honest, I'm having this dilemma, not sure whether I've made a good decision to continue this study or not. At first, I decided to continue because of my mother, she did asked me like every day, about my employment, about me getting a stable job. Then, I went to 2 interviews, one is promising, the other is not. Yet, the result comes after more than month, when I've decided to accept my lecturer invitation to continue PhD. I got accepted in one of the company, where I can relate me improving in that state. But, here I am. after around 2 and half month, feeling a bit worried about my decision, can I really do it? Ya Allah, please please guide me. I know, I am bit far from you now, bit forgetting you. But please guide me, please.

Leave that dilemma to me for contemplating, and let me tell you bout something else, something interesting. I come to notice that I don't really thinking about getting married, as I might see it as a privileged for a girl nowadays to get married, with the c'est bizzare proportion of woman and man. Thus, if you are teenager or in your early adults, it is considered to be a priviledge to get married. Thus, I left it to fate whether I will get married or not. I'm tired of thinkin those aspect, though I don't really give a though on that except for the times when good-looking wedding pictures popped up in my facebook timeline, when sometimes I got jealous with those VIP-friends I would say. Yeah, in fact, I have my own secret crush, whom deeply I'm hoping he is my other-half, but then, it comes to those priviledge section, I don't think he will be mine after all, it is Allah dictations. I don't have the guts to ask him, anymore, because I've come across a failing before when I confessed to someone that I really enjoy his appearances. In fact, I'm way over that guy. Yes, he is L, the one that j'adore too much. Let us forget him. And forget the priviledge section. Let God does his job that He is best at.

There is this past post that I talked about my euro trip alike, and somewhere at the end, I just noticed that my dreams come true. I wished that I could bring my parents to Strasbourg, Colmar, Berlin and Italy. Yes, it comes true. Thank you Allah, You are the greatest at fulfilling my dreams and bring happiness to my parents. I would like to state another dream of mine, InshaAllah, I will bring them scroll of doctorate for my parents in 4 years time, Ya Allah, may this dream comes true too, ameen.

Till then, I'll write something later.

InshaAllah.

XOXO

Nufas.

I'm back

2013-09-11T12:45:00.001+08:00

Syukur Alhamdulillah.
I'm back, and healthy and getting fat everyday. Hihi.

First of all, thank you for your wishes and doa and everything, may Allah grant you the best in your life, ameen.

Assalamualaikum.

As the titled stories I'm back to my hometown, Malaysia, especially, this region, Kelantan. In this very beautiful house, in Rantau Panjang, I'm here, for exactly two months today. Yep, I'm not working, and doing anything productive just yet. Yeah, and fat is everywhere. Hahah. Am having two interviews next week, one in Subang Jaya on 17th, and another one in Melaka, the next day. Seem very hectic day, as I wanted to meet my lecturer too, if possible on the 17th, to discuss about fellowship in UIA. Hope Allah gives the best for me. Ameen.

Actually I was lead here, to write about the practicality in Islam, where, we, some Muslim, cannot find it in Islam. Yes. I cannot see it too, but I started to learn little by little, with this aging. Yes, that is what we should do, we live to learn everyday and every moments. Even Allah urges us to see the beauty of His miracles, not only in Quran and As-sunnah, in everyday lives, there are too much of His miracles.

Let me give you one or two, have you ever pondered, why would human given different identities? Why would it not be same? And why we must follow certain guidelines. For instance, if you are living in rich family, is it happy life? Do you love it with abundance source of money, no strict exercise for spending money? But do you feel happy, is it possible to have your parents, your papa to teach you mathematics, to lecture you about the philosophy of life, everyday, everynight, before you sleep? Is that a priviledge to you? And now, if you come from very 'daif' family, how your life is? Is your father give you money or his lectures more? That is always plus minus in every identity you are entitled too. Rich family, little love, more money, and vice versa. Maybe, you are not in both situation. Maybe you just lost you parent, your papa, you think you has lost someone you cared the most, and some part of your life just follow him to the grave. But do you realize, with him gone, you try more harder to adapt with the life, your mother is easy to approach, and she is more flexible and she gives you more love. So, do you still taking it for granted?

This plus minus in life, is what we have to adapt and learn everyday. Allah gives us a mind. Inspiringly, some would say, he or she does not have a good mind, bad for them. But do they know, people with inspiring and creative mind would have another burden in their life, they will think more than they should, their minds works three to four times faster, for instance, when you saw someone just bought 'pisang goreng', some with less fortunate mind, would never think more about it, but for business-minded person, they would say, it is too expensive, you could get more with RM2 if you do it yourself, for another person, it is not a good decision, the product may be contaminated, bad for health, and one might say, he is getting some fat, I should sell him this 'ubat pelangsing badan' or 'Herbalife' so, he could save and care more of his life. Yeah, too many thing happens in our mind everyday, but do we use it in a right way?

One more point, when we talk about mind, we know and we realize, that everybody is not perfect, and most of us, trying hard to be perfect. But the next question is, why would you wanna be perfect? For whom, why, is it important to be perfect? Then, this comes to everyday situations, when we talk with somebody. After we met him or her, what is the first thing we think or we talk with friends, then, this come to the matter of perspectives, would you take his positive sides or rather bash him about his negativity?

XoXO,

Nufa.

p/s: May muslim, including me, don't really understand the behind the scenes of every thing that is instructed to us, why we human should adhere with 'aurat regulations', fasting, and 'praying', because most of us, including me, follow this religion, because of family, not because of our heart. Because those 'hikmah' in Pendidikan Islam course in school, is all about the practicality in Islam.

2nd Vlog

Life away from home

2013-04-29T03:11:00.000+08:00

Being away, mingled with non-Muslim, had gave me a lot of thinking. I do sin, and I'll repent, but, I do it again.
I shake hand with man, but usual thing here is kiss. Yeah, it is a sin to me, thus, I sometimes avoid to meet with people, then I think, to spread Islam, I have to be in their circle first. Though it is haram, to do skin contact with man, and I know it, I still do it, and I'll do it every time I arrive to my workplace. I know I'm sinner, and I don't properly cover my aurah according to Islam, I'm a sinner. At first it is very hard for me, as I had to explained why I cannot kiss or shake hand with them, but now, it is easier, as I just forget that part, and shake hand, yes, that is me, I forget that big part that Allah and Rasul ask me to practice. I'm a sinner.

I took care the importance of Islam in front of them, rather than the important of me, as for me, that is the best I can do. I do have Muslim friends, 1 and 2, but they don't really practice Islam. From what I realized, the most recognized sins I make is shaking hand and wearing tight jeans or blouse. I do. I hope I can repent this, before I died, as I choose this, I wanted to feel more secure in non-muslim circle.

The good thing is, they know I don't eat pork, and I only eat halal food, and I don't drink and never will, though the temptation to taste the taste of wine or champagne is so big. Good thing, I'm not a big fan of sour thing. But, I've drink something called 'vin chaud' which is a hot wine. There is a Muslim couple from Indonesia said, it is okay to drink that, as the alcohol has evaporated. I drank it, and it is not good.

I tried the best to be a good Muslim, so that they could see what is Islam is, and don't feel awkward towards it. And plus point is, when there is party, they understand why I'm not going. Yes, I'm no big fan of party too, though they behave in proper manner. I like to be here, but being here for a long time is not my choice, as I love my country, and I want to go back to bring out the best of my country, so that Malaysians outside Malaysia are more keen to go back. Provide more opportunities.

Somehow, this cannot be done by one person or a group of people, we have to do it collectively, it is not a hard thing, as why? Because, in 1 week, there is going to be a general election in Malaysia, to choose the next government. Why the present government had to be changed? Why? There are so many reasons and so many why, but I'll keep that to the readers, as, if you are a reader, you will know what to read and listen too. Readers are the one who could understand and get more without talking much.

Yerp, I love Malaysia, and I hope Malaysia could be a better place for Malaysians, and another Malaysians coming out to the world, newborns and next generations. InshaAllah.

Islam is for all.
PAS is for all.
Malaysia is for all.

26 and Election

2013-04-21T21:03:00.000+08:00

Assalamualaikum.
Hello, hai, and guten tag.

Hee, mentang-mentang baru balik dari German, dah guna perkataan dari German la pulak, hee.
Pertama sekali, terima kasih tidak terhingga kepada doa dan nasihat, dan surprise party untuk hari kelahiran saya yang ke 26-tahun. Memang sangat terkejut kerana kawan-kawan di sini sanggup mengadakan sedikit majlis untuk hari jadi saya. Sangat berterima kasih kepada Astie dan rakan2. Dan doa semua kaum keluarga dan sahabat handai, hanya Allah dapat melunaskannya dan membalasnya. Terima kasih.

acece, macam speech menang award Prom Queen pun ada. Haha.

Sebenarnya terdetik nak tulis entiti blog adalah pengaruh dari rakan TB saya, iaitu Cik Alisa, katanya "she is waiting for my blog entry for my 26 birthday". Harap menghiburkan hati Cik Alisa di hujung minggu. Hee.

Sememang-memangnya, angka 26 sangat la berat bagi saya. Bermakna sudah 26 tahun saya hidup di dunia ini, dan apa yang saya sudah kembalikan kepada masyarakat, dan kepada ibu bapa terutamanya. Apakah? Semakin hari semakin tidak tahu tujuan asal saya dilahirkan ke sini. Apakah yang patut dilakukan semoga, di akhirat kelak, saya tidak ditimpa dengan bala yang maha dahsyat, kerana mengabaikan sesuatu yang patut saya laksanakan. Sepertinya saya masih tidak tahu apa yang saya patut lakukan. Insha Allah, bulan 7 nanti, tamatlah riwayat, oh, bukan, tamatlah master saya yang ke2. Dengan harapan ianya bersinar dan banyak warnanya berterbangan. InshaAllah, hanya Allah yang dapat memberi, dengan usaha yang tak seberapa ini.

Jadi, saya masih terfikir-fikir, mungkin saya masih tidak bagus dalam pemikiran, dan hanya memikirkan diri sendiri. Suka untuk saya nyatakan, dalam 3 minggu yang lepas, saya telah melancong ke banyak tempat seperti, Disneyland Paris, Eiffel Tower, Gunung percutian untuk berskiing, dan paling lewat, saya ke German, hanya untuk ke Taman Temanya iaitu Europa Park. Dan saya mengakui, pembaziran berlaku, kerana, saya telah menghabiskan uwang mengjangkau 2 bulan gaji untuk internship saya di sini. Pembaziran berleluasa, dan saya akui, semua percutian itu saya setujui tanpa berfkir panjang. Apatah lagi, saya baru dihadiahkan dengan biasiswa separa pinjaman dari MARA, alangkah indahnya hidup ini. Ya, indahnya sementara, apatah lagi, dengan perbelanjaan boros dan melebihi, dan menyerupai syaitan. I despise myself right now. Dan kita tinggalkan cerita ini, biarlah saya memohon maaf dan ampun dari Allah sendirian. Untuk pengetahuan saudari dan saudara, janganlah tiru gaya hidup mewah ini, fikir panjang sebelum bertindak. Itu leih baik semoga tidak menyesal di kemudian hari. Insha Allah.

Baiklah, jom kita melangkah ke bab kedua entry saya kali ini iaitu mengenai pilihan raya 2013 di Malaysia, sejarah terhasil kelmarin, apabila semua calon yang bertanding telah mengemukakan nama ke pejabat pendaftaran, untuk menjadi wakil rakyat dan dun. Ia berlaku pada hari lahirnya saya kedunia yg ke26 iaitu 20 April 2013, iaitu dikhabarkan juga sebagai tarikh kelahiran nabi Muhammad S.A.W dalam tahun masihi. Entah sahih atau tidak, boleh la rujuk lagu keputeraan baginda dan sirah2 nabi. Jadi, apa motif saya di sini? Ya, apa yang menraik minat saya untuk menulis mengenai pilihan raya yang bakal menjelma.

Tidak dinafikan, jika saya pulang mengundi, saya akan mengundi Parti Islam, inshaAllah, tapi apakan daya, saya tidak berskesempatan untuk menunaikan tanggungjawab saya ini. Yang menjadi punca saya ingin memperkatakan perihal pilihan raya kali ini ialah kerana sikap-sikap penyokong ke2 belah pihak, kerajaan dan pembangkang. Ya, tidak dinafikan juga, saya lebih menyokong pembangkang, keran ideologi politik mereka lebih bernas dan lebih kepada agama Islam, inshaAllah. Namun, yang tidak menjadi kepuasan hati saya ialah, sikap penyokong yang ada, bagi mereka, menentang peribadi seseorang calon sangat senang diwar-warkan tapi bukan ideologi dan prinsip mereka dalam parti yang mereka wakili. Bagi saya, ini tidak patut, kerana ini tidak diajar dalam Islam, apatah lagi rasullullah sendiri tidak mengamalkannya.

Apa yang saya boleh kongsi dan nasihat ialah, berpolitik secara bersih, keluarkan ideologi dan prinsip dan bukan menentang peribadi calon. Dan kepada penyokong ke2 belah pihak, jika terdapat perkara buruk yang mereka lakukan, tidak usahlah dikongsikan dengan sewenang2 di facebook, twitter atau apa sahaja. Dan tidak terkecuali kepada pengarang2 akhbar dan page2 di facebook, gunakanlah tanggungjawab anda dengan amanah. Ramai yang percaya bulat2 apa yang anda dedahkan kerana intergriti and sebagai sebuah akhbar yang dikenali dan site yang dikenali dan berpengaruh, selidiki dan kaji baik buruk post yang ingin dikongsi bersama pembaca. Yang pasti, ini memang terjadi kerana didikan kerajaan yang sedia ada, tapi jangan salahkan mereka, kerana kita mampu mengubahnya, Allah sudah memberikan akal dan fikiran, kerna nanti kita akan disoal apa yang telah kita lakukan di dunia ini.

Jadi saya akhiri entiti kali ini dengan harapan dan azam baru, iaitu ingin mendalami dan memahami penghulu segala surah ,iaitu Al-Fatihah sedalam2nya sebelum tiba hari kelahiran saya yang ke 27. InshaAllah.

Yang ikhlasberkongsi
Nufas.

Disneyland Paris trip.

2013-04-03T01:55:00.001+08:00

Wanted to go to disneyland? In paris? Not to brag, but I've been there and I'm going to give some tips for u my lovely readers. Yeah, some tips that hopefully will help your trip more awesome than ever.
Importance of all, you have to have some money, or credit card. And ticket and a phone or tab with Disneyland app. Where to download? Search it in Google play. And make sure your phone got internet connection. And working gps, so, in short, the necessary things u need are;

Then, plan your trip beforehand, which includes the must-rides, parade and timing. For my trip, we planned to ride 10 big thrills ride and we successfully rode 9 of them and 2 unplanned rides. In the app, there are sections for recommended rides for certain group, for instance, famil rides, children rides, family with toddlers and big thrills rides, so, choose your group. If you are into high intensity rides, don't miss 'The twilight zone tower of terror' (building name is 'The Hollywood tower', Aerosmith coaster and 'Space Mountain: Mission 2'. These are a must for teenagers and those who love big thrills rides.

A tip to be remembered is, go to Walt Disney Park Studios first thing, to ride all the big rides and enjoy your afternoon in Disneyland Park. And 'Crush Coaster' could nbe a good start for the day.

The most important is to install the app . As it will help you a lot during your day in the Park. It gives timing of waiting times , status of attractions and the direction to your next attractions. As it uses gps to locate Your whereabouts in the Park.

And last tip from me, use the Fastpass wisely as it is FREE and can only be use 1 at a time. The secret is timing .

The 'ala-ala europe trip' is over

2013-01-08T05:56:00.001+08:00

Salam and Bonne Annee,

Yeah, it is already 2013, and I'm 26 this year, how fast is time flies right. And I'm getting older and near to death, that is for sure. If no one knows, I just wrapped up my ala-ala europe trip las week. It is very fondful experience, but the aftermath is I got slight fever. It is very tiring as me and my friends need to pack and re-pack every time we check in and check out hotel. It is very tiring one, plus, looking for direction to hotel is one more exhausted one.

Somehow, I acquired many experienced from that. The trip taught me a lot of things, save your money and be prepared mental and health for the long trip. As it requires your energy and the thinking capabilities too. in that four countries I went to, Strasbourg and Colmar is the most enjoyable and beautiful one. For Frankfurt, it is full of shopping market. I don't really like that part, but German is good destination. You will be surprised with their technology. We were very jakun when we cannot lock the door of our hotel room. And due to that, I called the receptionist and she laught for a little before telling me that the door cannot be opened from outside. Yes, it is, we don't need to lock the door, but no one can open it from outside, it is not machine related or electronic related at all, it is related to your mind. After hearing the explaination, I even try to go out and open the door from outside, which we cannot. Not only that, there were more surprised to us, and yes, German is known to its technology advance. I like the transportation too. It is one of the best I guess, though some of their trams are old.

After German, we went to Amsterdam, we arrived early in the morning, before 2am, before that, we had to change 3 stations from Koln to Amsterdam. After arriving, we searched for lounge or something, but only Burger King is opened, we went there, and I got to sleep there too. However, at 4am, they were closing, we have to move out and find another place to land our butts, somehow, the station is to be closed at 5am. So, practically we need to move out from the station. Don't ask what was the degree outside, it was raining too, if I'm not mistaken, plus the wind is blowing hard too. We don't know what to do, and wait for next night bus to go to friend's of friend's house, however, we promised to come at 6am, thus, we wait and took bus at 5.12am, and we arrived around 5.20am in front of their house. after 20minutes or so, they opened the door, syukur, we don't have for a long time outside, we might die due to cold weather. Syukur. Overall, I don't like Amsterdam, except for their education. and I enjoyed a lot of Indonesian cuisines there, I ate a lot. Haha. feel like home too. as there was tempe and tauhu. Hee. Amsterdam was dirty and still is I guess. The tourist were a lot there. I don't go out for the new year, as I never enjoyed new year. I don't regret it, as when I wanna sleep at 12am. there were fireworks next to my window. haha.

Then, we went to Brussel, Belgium next morning. I love that city, and their people too. Many Muslim there. But the exhausted one was to find the hotel, we took more than hour to find it. syukur, some Muslims help us to show the road. Why I like them, many Muslim and Muslimah, when they saw me, they say salam. Syukur, they practice Islam. One story to be told, when I'm in mall, I met some woman muslim and they say salam and I replied, and what they say after that is 'MashaAllah' I guess, they think I'm a revert, yeah, you know me, with the sepet mata, which I don't really like. They might think I'm a revert and saying the kalimah 'MashaAllah'. If I have time some more, I wanted to go there with my family, Ameen.

And if my parents, ma n ayah is coming, I wanted to bring them to Strasbourg and Colmar, and Berlin and Italy, that are the must, and Paris, where I never been too, ahhaa. InshaAllah it will happens. Ameen.

-unposted one- repost: Nearly a month in France

2012-12-18T07:42:00.000+08:00

Salam n Bounjour!

Yep, it is nearly a month I'm in this country, and there is never in my dream to come here, somehow, I got the oppurtunity with my mother's loan, so, hopefully, I can repay back with thousand times interest, hee, InshaAllah.

Somehow, there is not much to tell about this little city, as far as I know, France is all about history, and beautiful buildings, that is all, and I'm not into history.

Let me tell you about my class then. Here, I'm the 2nd year student of Master in Computer Vision, as I've done my first year in UTM. So, the pro is, I'll only live here for less than a year, if the internship is done in France. Yes, I got an internship to be undergone in next February, and we can choose some place around the globe including spain, UK and Malaysia, yep, but my first choice is here, in Le Creusot.

In the class, only 11 students, and I'm the only Malay girl and the only one who wore tudung, others are 2 from Nepal, 3 from India and 4 from Indonesia and 1 from china. That is all. yerp, there is 1 girl married from India, and 3 other girls from Indonesia. Basically taken I guess.

What is the miserble thing is 50% of classes up till now, I don't really understand. Hurm. and we got 1 big project, a robotic project. so, all in all, I have to study, not to berlapang2 like what I did before.

Christmas Trip

2012-12-18T07:41:00.003+08:00

Salam, and as usual, read the salam as Assalamualaikum, as if I'm telling you, my dearest readers to be in Allah's guidance, always and forever, ameen. Though you are not Muslim, praying for u is not a sick or hard thing to do aite? what is the different between us is only what we belief on? For me, I think Islam is the best and the most truest one, and somehow, you, on the other side of the world, believe that yours is the ultimate one. The point is, if u obey, it is good enough, as a religious person is better than atheist or does who has religion, but not practicing it.

Woah, back to the entry, yup, Christmas is around the corner, and next week, will be the first week of holiday, and there will be 2 weeks holiday for Christmas. what I wanna tell u dearest readers are, I'm going for Europe trip, not a whole Europe, but only 4 countries: France, German, Belgium and Netherlands. And the trip start as early as 22nd Dec and end at 2nd Jan.

What I want is, please pray for our safety and will be no harm or bad thing happen, ameen, if u do have time, just say out this sentence, "please Ya Allah, (or your God) keep them, Farahana n friends in your guidance and bless as they are going for trip without man, and only girls, and keep them out from harm or dangerous things. ameen, Ya Rabb, (or your God)".

Thank you2, you are my loveliest readers. thought I only know half of u, yeah, but who knows, you are pretty kind enough to pray for me and my friends. Thank you. may u too in good guidance, ameen.

Though now, I seem don't have a problem, I think Allah is giving me a test, to see how is my Iman, as my iman is keep decreasing in value lately, if my friends gave me food, I sometimes don't ask them what is the ingredients. Though I know, I have to be cautious on food consuming, as halal and haram has their own hikmah, and some of them are known and proven true. For instance, eating non-halal thing keeps u way from ur God, yeap, as I had consumes something non-halal in the past, and I seem doesn't care much bout my iman. Ad thanks to my mom, she keeps talking and giving me advice and keeps reminding me to take a good care of my consuming and always remember my Creator.
Thank you ma. And thank you to my dearest friend, Faezah, finding me an article about solat jamak. It is okay for me to do solat jamak as in winter, the time is shorter and it hard to pray once, as I'm always in the class during the afternoon, and Maghrib is at 4.50 something. Thank you Faezah for confirming that thing for me.

okay, back to Christmas trip, I'm given a task to handle the trip and places and itinery of the first two towns that we are going to go, Strasbourg as in France and FrankFurt as in German. hopefully, my planning will be a good one, and will be pleased by You, Ya Allah. ameen.

I have to sleep, I even slept in the bus which only takes 10 minutes or less from the unversity to my chambre, the hostel. Hoho. Somehow, yeah, there is someone who will always remind me and take care of me as it is given the duty, probably, the malaikat. thank you too. u wake me up when it is about to arrive at the bus stop. If not, I don't know what will happen.

See ya,
XOXO.
a plus tard!

Snow

2012-12-05T18:53:00.000+08:00

Alhamdulillah,
I experienced my first snow on Sunday last week, and me and my friend tried to make a snowman out of the abundance snow on the ground, somehow, we successfully make a snow-alien. Heee. And the snowing thing occured again on Monday, when I was in the lab. It is so beautiful as it was so pure and so-Korean, yup, for me. Because in Korean Dramas or movies, when it is snowing, the scenes would be a very beautiful and fascinating scene. I love it, and I experienced it first hand. Syukur.
There is no good picture of me, as I went playing the snow with my pajamas, Hee. It was early in the morning. Okay, not that early, 11 am. haha. But it was Sunday. Maybe next time I'll take a good pictures, inshaAllah, when it snows again. There are some pictures though I snapped. Let us enjoy.
