Vietnam with the girls

Assalamualaikum and Hi

The first thing came to my head just now was ...." ha..dah lama tak update blog"

So, lets not talk about that ;)

Referring to the topic, yup I went to Vietnam last 2 weeks with my college friends. We were there for 3 days and 2 nights celebrating our 9th year of friendship (who would have thought we could last that longgg??)

Alhamdulillah. It was so much fun!!
We wanted to fly back to Vietnam just as we landed in KL!

Lets see some of the pictures ;)
Our coasters. Rase macam artis jemputan.huhu

shell painting factory

something in the city (we didnt get to walk around the city)

by the road

Mei mei (Our Mekong tourist guide.We gave her that name)

Boat house

Our luxury boat!

Local fruits
( Mcm Malaysia jgak. buat2 kagum je nii)

Mekong river 

Owh.. and one  of the most important event was...


Shopping!

Dah all girls, wajib la pegi tempat ni and borong Baju Kurung. This was Danny's Place.Spent almost 3-4 hours there,good treatment, they even helped to call the taxis for us (mesti la...untung banyak kot).

Conclusion:
Will definitely visit Vietnam again for food, city tour, mosque visit....baju kurung, baju kurung, baju kurung.

Why baju kurung?

Super cheap. The cheapest anyone can get for a ready-made plain cotton Baju Kurung is RM 30 and beaded Baju Kurung is aroung RM40. This is not a price you can get in Malaysia.

Bandung vs Vietnam

Bandung is more for casual wear like jeans and shirts, Vietnam is definitely for Baju Kurung lovers, and men could get their Deuter bags. Food? Bandung for sure, Vietnam is yet to explore..owh they have Vietnamese Coffee (perhaps I should have an entry on that). Though I'm not a coffee type of person, but I just have to try its signature food/drink. I would say its...ok la. Tasted like dark chocolate ;) and yes, do try "Pho". We call it mee celup Vietnam :)

New words while we were in Vietnam

Depp =Cantek
Yepp =Kurus (Vietnamese Men love thin ladies..so, I'm obviously out of the list. Selamat!)
Bakk= I think this means "discount" or something like bargaining.


I guess thats all for now!

Mahrams

Salam and Hi This would be my first entry for 2012. Alhamdulillah, manage to find a topic which intrigue me to write a post :P When Islam was revealed to the Prophet pbuh, many rejected the message brought by him. Islam came as a religion which guides everyone in all aspects of life, from worshiping God to the ways we sleep (the adab of sleeping). What makes it more interesting is that it teaches us about the relationship between men and women too. In Islam, there are boundaries between the men and women and as to set the line, the relationship falls into two categories which are: 1. Mahrams 2. Ghayr Mahrams There are various books and sites that could help us to understand further on this topic but here is a link that, InshaAllah, could enlighten us too.   CLICK HERE Other than that, below is a diagram in Malay language which is very helpful in making us to understand the relationship between men and women.

My name is Maryam...A'dilla

When I was in primary schools, back in the year 1993 to 1998, many of the friends used to tease my name. Rather than Maryam, they would call me MERIAM (which means cannonball in Bahasa Melayu). I was of course hurt by it. Not that I was fat like a cannonball or fiery, they just love to tease. Well, kids. But anyhow my ears were just too thick to listen to the calls that the annoyance faded with time. Once, I used to ask my parents, “Why did you guys named me Maryam?” and their reasons were very simple, “because your midwife was called Miriam”...”and Maryam is a name that is mentioned in the Quran”. How beautiful. I was named after the name stated in the Quran and also to reminisce the day I was borned, they named me after my midwife (perhaps they were over joyed to have a baby girl in the family). Alhamdulillah, I have a great name. Maryam is the name of the Prophet Isa’s mother. She was chosen by Allah to carry Isa in her womb without a husband or even getting married. This is an...

Why do I Write?

Assalamualaikum and Hi For years I've been thinking and looking for the answers and reasons to my question- Why do I write? Its not like I'm such a good writer or a brilliant person who has so many wise words and ideas to share. Its not that I have great language skills where I can show to the whole world and be proud of it. (Well, I do realize that many of my words are imprecise and most of the time not intriguing at all!) But why do I still write?... As I was browsing today, I've found an answer to my question . "to be able to talk with our real voice and for that voice to be heard. You write so that your voice can become bigger than just one person." ( The Confidence Guy ) To a certain extend, I agree.
