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

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!

Writing Again

Assalamualaikum... After 3 years of abandoning this blog, I'm here again. Reading all the posts. How things have changed. Some of the posts made me smile, some brought tears as they remind me of such events, some sounded selfish and arrogant.Sorry. What led me to write again? ...so that I can share ...so that those who might be in the same situation as I am currently in knows that they are not alone sometimes, we do have that lonely time where reading helps..right? ...so that I could somehow inspire I could you know... ...so that I could reflect This blog has somehow bring me back to the past. Can u imagine that its actually 8 years old?? I could read my past. thought. feelings. behaviour. ... so that I can have a healthy way of expressing myself healthier than food. Don't you think so? ...so that neurons in my brain are well connected b'cause writing on blogs need us to think (well, I do). Think of whether its appropriate to share to public o

A sunnah: Honey

"Look who's back       Back again.." -eminem- Yes, I'm back! Back tapping the letters :) Since last Ramadhan I've been consuming honey regularly every morning and Alhamdulillah (praise to Allah) my asthma is very well in control. I'm no longer depending on Symbicort ( a drug recommended by Brother 1) and Ventolin is just on standy. But since honey is my breakfast, the inhaler is just as part of my handbag fillers, perhaps its beyond the expiry date ( I should check on that).  #1: Why did I choose honey?        -Because it was part of the sunnahs.        - The last time I had really bad attacks (everyday!!!) honey was the most effective reliever.  #2: Why did I start consuming it again?       - Because its part of sunnah :)          (am I repeating my answer??)               - Since I heard the book by a reverter on "Rasulallah is my doctor" by Jerry D Gray. I've only heard          about the book. Still hunting for t

The Man of Great Modesty

                Dalam kesibukan kerja yang semakin menjadi-jadi, saya ambil kesempatan ini untuk berkongsi pembacaan saya dengan niat utama agar keluarga dan sahabat handai turut dapat mengetahui kisah ini J                Suatu masa dahulu, sewaktu masih di universiti, seorang sahabat yang jauh diperantauan (Hanna are you there???)    pernah bertanya kepada saya, “Sahabat Rasulallah s.a.w yang mana awak paling suka?”. Suatu soalan yang sukar untuk dijawab kerana latar belakang pendidikan saya hanyalah pendidikan “biasa”, mendapat pendidikan agama secara informal dari ibu ayah di rumah dan sekadar menghadiri sekolah agama, itupun waktu sekolah rendah! Soalan yang mencabar minda. Namun, tetap dijawab agar sahabat tidak menanti, dengan pantas “Saidina Abu Bakar” dijawab. Kenapa saya memilih Saidina Abu Bakar?  Kerana beliau adalah satu-satunya sahabat yang paling banyak kisahnya   yang saya dengari, beliau merupakan pendamping Rasulallah di awal kedatangan Islam dan be
