World of Nadiah

Hari tu aku ke Masjid ni (klu tak silap la namanya coz masjid ni masjid baru) dengan niat nak tunaikan tanggungjawab aku sebagai seorang muslim (nak sembahyang ler, huhu. Anak sedara aku ckp masjid ni lawa la, 2 tingkat la... Waktu tu waktu maghrib, so, aku park la keta aku kat depan masjid tu ha. Waktu tu ada la bas rombongan, keta2 families dan org2 sekitar... Aku g tandas dulu, tapi bila sampai kat tandas tu, kotor gila simen nyer. Selipar mmg la ada disediakan tp nak tau berapa pasang yg ada? 3 jer untuk seramai2 pengunjung masjid nih. Yg tak nak tunggu, terus jer masuk bercampur2. Masuk situ tak pakai kasut sendiri la tp ada selipar. Tapi bygkan masjid kat mitc tu takde selipar yg mencukupi. Situ kan kawasan kunjungan org gak... Lain la masjid kat kg2. Paham ler. Itu satu kes. So, aku pun tunggula giliran untuk selipar. Setelah dkat 10 minit tunggu, akhirnya aku dpt la sarungkan selipar yg amat berharga tu di kaki aku ni ha. So, aku wudu' dan paskan selipar tu kat org lain. Hilang marah aku dgn wudu' tu. Aku pun panjatla tangga naik ke tingkat atas untuk solat sebab tingkat atas untuk muslimah. So, setelah penat aku panjat tangga, aku nampak ada org smbhyang kat tepi2 tgkat atas tu. Aku pelik tp aku biarkan jer. Aku ingatkan dia malas nak masuk dlm masjid tp rupa2nya masjid tu berkunci!!!! So, sape yg bawak telekung boleh la smbhyg kat koridor masjid tu. Kat bahagian atas tu ada lebih kurang 9 pintu. Aku jalan dari hujung ke hujung dgn sungguh2 nyer untuk cari pintu mana yg tak kunci. TAPI SEMUA KUNCI. Aku sakit hati tol. Dari hilang marah, terus naik darah balik. Ni tak kasi sembahyang ke apa ni. Ye la, aku tak bawak telekung, so, aku nak guna la telekung masjid tp kalau masjid DIKUNCI, apa kehal nyer aku nak sembahyang. Aduh... sakit hati dan kepala aku ni ha. Nape wat cam tu padahal waktu tu pukul 7.40 mlm, mmg tgh waktu maghrib pun. Maghrib bukannya lama nak main kunci2 plak. Dgn panasnye, aku tinggalkan masjid tu dgn marah2. Peh, buat dosa jer. Last2 aku g mydin mitc untuk smbhyg...

Ok, first of all, it's not a trip to meet Steven Gerrard. It's just a trip to London only. I had a great time there but it's really tiring. My legs hurt cause I need to walk a lots. Haha. Not really used to it.

My flight departed at 1am 12th May 2009 at LCCT. Well, Aida drove me to LCCT. Thanks Aida :D Actually I don't know how to check in at airport, I don't know anything about boarding pass or whatever but I did a lot of homework before departed. And it's worth much more than I expected. After checked in and undergone multilevel passport checking and plain screening at LCCT counter, I waited for about one hour before I went into the plane. Because of I was extremely thirsty while waiting, I bought two bottle of mineral water which cost me RM8. Wow, so expensive huh? But, that's airport... Everybody's knew it. So, after about 13 hours in the plane in which I didn't do anything other than sleeping, I arrived at Stansted Airport. I was so excited, can't wait to greet London. Huhu. I already felt the coldness when I stepped out from the plane. So cold but lucky it's spring... At the Counter to check my passport and so on, the lady ask me a lot. Worried that I'm planning to do harm cause I'm traveling alone? Huhu, but, it's ok though. After a long question answers sessions, I was 'released' to pick up my bag. Lucky me that I have two others Malaysian that travel under the same agency. So, we bought return tickets London-Stansted cost me 17 GBP(Great Britain Pound). That's the first money that I spent in England. Well, after about 1 hour plus in the bus, we stopped at Marble Arch. From there, we bought Tube ticket to Russel Square station which is the nearest station to our Hotel, Royal National Hotel:

At the reception counter, we separated and plan to meet again on our last day to go to Stansted together. So, my journey started. Oh, before that, this is my room:

On the first day, I only bought single ticket at the Tube counter from Marble Arch to Russel Square because I planned to walk around the hotel only. On the next day onward, I bought 1 day travel card everyday which cost me 5.60 GBP. Everyday, before started my journey, I walked to Russel Square Garden which is about 300m from the hotel to turn on my GPS only. Huhu. Funny isn't it. After acquiring the satellite signal, then I started my journey. So, here's the pictures at The British Museum on the first day. I don't like museum much but hey, it's free XD and it's only 600m from my hotel.

Don't ask me what's that. Forgot already. XD

This is Amenhotep... I think. Hmm, again, forgot. XD


This is at Islamic area in British Museum. There are another pictures, but, it's too many to upload plus my internet is slow right now. XD

Ok, after british museum... That's all because it's already 6pm there. I headed back to hotel and rest. I ate maggie which I brought from Malaysia and there is one shop near hotel that sells halal food. Again, lucky me. :D

On my second day in London, I walked to King Cross St Pancras station to look for tickets to Norfolk where my friend stay. But, there are no trains that directly stop at Norfolk, so, I went took tube to Victoria coach station which is near Victoria Underground. Unfortunately, there is no direct coach to Norfolk where my friends stay. I was really dissapointed so, I rest at this garden. XD

After rest for a while, I walked again and guess where my legs brought me?
It's Buckingham Palace!!!


Those memorial is in front the Buckingham Palace.

After taking lots of pictures at the palace, I decided to go back to hotel but on the way back I was attracted to The Royal Mews where the royal collection of historic coaches and carriage were put. So, I paid 7.50GBP and rolled in.



On the 3rd day, the real plan is to visit my friend but unfortunately the plan was canceled so, I visit Arsenal and Chelsea Football Stadium. XD


And I spent the rest of the day by wandering around. No shopping and no visit to other place. Oh, I bought story books there. Each book cost 2BGP. Sounds cheap huh? But, the books in that bookstore is great. :D

On my 4th day, I went Albert Memorial, Royal Albert Hall, Kensington Palace and Pavillion.
Albert Memorial.
In front of Royal Albert Hall which also in front of Albert Memorial...
This is at the Kensington Palace. A nice couple help me took this picture :D
Lastly but not least, Pavillion!!!! Haha

Ok, on my 5th. 5th day is my failing day because I couldn't find the museum that I want to go. I followed my GPS but then I couldn't find the entry to the museum. Plus, London is crying that day, so, it's so cold and I decided to just walk around London and eating at Marble Arch. Oh, did I mention that Marble Arch has a lots of Halal Foods. In fact, I ate at subway for my lunch. XD But, no McD halal there.


And the last day in London, 6th day. I went to St. James Palace, St. James Park, Westminster Abbey, Houses of Parliament, Jewel Tower and Big Ben.
St. James Palace.

St. James Park

Westminster Abbey where the royal families were buried?

Houses of Parliament with the Big Ben

Jewel Tower

And that was the last place I went in London. Oh, from Westminster, there are underground station but it was closed probably because there was a demonstration by the Sri Lankan I think.


That night, I went to Stansted and boarding to go back to Malaysia. :D Oh, I got in trouble at the immigration. My back pack got scanned and there is something wrong so they need to check my back pack but guess what, they didn't find anything that will make them satisfied I think. They took my laptop for a while, took info from me and scan my bags for several times before they let me go. XD I'm a good citizen of Malaysia :D Got nothing to hide, huh...

Mother' Day... Remind me again why did we celebrate it? I'm not a mother so, maybe I don't see the beauty or the function of mother's day. But, in my deep opinion, today is not a mother's day. Why did we worship our mother for only one day? Why we wish our mother for one day? And why did we bought present for our mother for only this day? Nothing special about the second Sunday of June. I love my mother although she always said I don't love her. With all my heart, even though my heart is just an inch in size or even though there is no heart in my body when I'm dead, I LOVE MY MOTHER VERY MUCH. Nothing can change that. Even though when I have a misunderstanding with my mother, I still love her after both of us cool down which never took more than 30 minutes. It's human nature to hate or to angry but when we cool down and can think again, it's not hate that stay in our heart but love. Hate is easy to nurture and love is hard to fade away. So, again, why did we celebrate our mother for only one day? Why not 7 days, 30 days or 365 days? I hate mother's day because it's only one day but I do love my mom. Mom, even though you won't read this, I just want the world to know that I love you very much. Maybe when I become a mom, I'll start to appreciate mother's day. I said maybe...

Today, May 7th 2009, I went to Mydin MITC. Very big. The biggest Mydin building that I ever been. But, it's not about Mydin that I want to talk now. It's about charity. Yeah, charity. I went to Tesco after Mydin. Actually I was looking for adapter for my gadget. After searching the whole Tesco and got nothing, I decided to stop by at Secret Recipe. I ordered lasagne and iced white caramel mocha. Hmmm...yummy... :D While I was enjoying my lunch plus dinner, a boy age around 10 year old came to me. He was wearing songkok with brown shirt and black bag at his side. At his hand, he was holding a small bottle and receipt book. He talked to me about buying the small bottle which turn out to be a balm and he also said about 'amal'. I asked him a lot about which school, why here, for what etc. Because of I didn't satisfied with the answers, I refused to buy and donate. I was thinking about being cheated or something. But, then the boy said, if don't want to buy, giving him rm1 or rm2 is enough. He said it's for orphanage home. I didn't reply and I sat quietly for a long time but the boy didn't go. Maybe he thinks finally he could get something from me. At last, I opened my wallet and gave him rm1. After giving him, I still thinks about it. Should I or shouldn't I? I pity the boy but I don't know what to do. What if he's telling the truth? But, what if he's lying? I don't know. Interestingly, this is the second time I was approached for donation while I was enjoying my meal at Secret Recipe with the same menu, lasagne and white caramel mocha! The first one was in Jusco Kepong. A young guy who claimed he is deaf and couldn't talk approached me while I was having lasagne and white caramel mocha! I think anybody could guess what was the ending of the story... Huargh!!! Maybe I shouldn't order lasagne and white caramel mocha anymore... Hihihi...

Palestin,
Tubuhmu sering menjadi tumpuan lensa kamera,
Wajahmu sering menjadi rakaman dunia,
Gambarmu dijaja di seluruh semesta,
Ceritamu dibaca segenap lapisan dunia,
Namun, tiada siapa yang tertawa,
Tiada siapa yang bergembira,
tatkala diarimu disebar kemerata,
Cuma, bangsat-bangsat durjana, manusia-manusia hina
sahaja yang kekenyangan gembira,
Suka dengan helaian diarimu yang penuh derita.

Palestin,
Hatiku menangis hiba,
Jiwaku resah sengsara, namun,
Jasadku kaku tanpa jasa,
Mulutku becok memarahi si empunya angkara,
Fikiranku tidak berdelusi memusuhi si durjana,
Namun, tingkahku tidak lebih dari itu,
ku bersahaja meniti hari-hari keamanan dibumiku,
Sedangkan kau, bermandi darah menghitung kubur,
Generasimu tumbang bersungkur-sungkur.

Palestin,
Bilakah deritamu itu akan sampai ke penghujungnya,
Mungkinkah tatkala hari kebangkitan kunjung tiba?
Mungkinkah pabila dajal mula menunjuk muka?
Atau ketika yakjud makjud tertawa suka?
Aku sendiri menunggu jawapannya...

I was born in a large family as the youngest child. Being the youngest is not easy but being the oldest child is not easy either. So, in essence, what ever your birth order is, it's not easy to be somebody especially in a large family. But, for me, I experienced a lot of "you need to listen to me!" events or, may I say episodes. I'm sick of it but never really explode about it. The best thing I can do is burst out my anger which I already master it now. But, resulting from that, I tend to do "you need to listen to me!" to all my nieces and nephews. LOL. Who else I can do that if not to them?

But, when I enter medical school, I learned a lot about child psychiatry and development. I consider myself as the 50-50 product in which I can be save by teaching. My understanding about child had changed since then. I tend to listen to them and I never get angry with them especially the younger ones. But now, I have 8 nieces and 10 nephews. How can I listen to all of them? So, it's not me who need to listen to them. I'm just an adjunct person for them. The main person is the one who are with them almost 24 hours. But, the main point I want to bring up here is there shouldn't be any "you need to listen to me!" events anymore.

1. "I am very happy Israel stood up for their rights, to throw rockets over cities is a big NO NO under any condition, who told you we have to do something for them, are not themselves the ones who choose a party that swore to destroy Israel, is not the people of Palestine who was dancing in the streets and celebrating in september 11, are not the muslims the ones who all the time claim having the power and permission of God of kill whoever you want?, and so where is the surprise now there is a war? what do you want them, to cooperate with Hamas, Hezbolah, Syria and Iran to kill themselves?

You throw rockets you receive missiles, you have soldiers they also have, you wanted war? so go fight and stop moaning like an hypocrite child now.

When Iran in combination with Alquaeda was killing 1 million muslims sunnies you wasn't outrage, wasn't you? did you go to the Iranian embassy to protest then even when the most of the people killed was women and children in supermarkets, even people queuing for going to Mecca... Did you.

When september 11 you went out to protest against Alqaeda?, so what is the matter with you muslims, you have always that very strange selective moral and selective humanity, don't you?

Hypocrite, learn to be a man, bad is bad and good is good,, be consequent with yourself, this is why muslims have no credibility whatsoever,

Have you seen the Palestinian TV? Did you protested about that, where did you think this was going to take?, Hypocrites, one thousand times coward and hypocrites."

2. "How do you get the world to hate Israel?
You have the United Nations set up an agency whose sole function it is to make sure that this one group of refugees in the whole world are coddled, advocated for, and repeat, mantra-like, that a human “right of return” has been sanctified and assured by international law for the Palestinians, giving only this group of refugees a collective, as opposed to individual, right of return—and not only to those refugees who supposedly lived in and left what is now Israel, but all of their descendents, as well.

You use the General Assembly and the Human Rights Council of the United Nations to further demonize and delegitimate Israel, making it a pariah in the world community and issuing an edict that equates Zionism with racism. In 2006-07, if you are the Human Rights Council, you pass one hundred percent of your condemnatory resolutions against Israel.

If you are the autocratic, despotic states of the Arab world, you initiate a prolonged, unceasing propaganda war against Israel and Zionism, in which it is your intention to encourage your citizens, not to question why they live under tyranny and despair under their own corrupt, defective governments, but that their circumstances are bleak because of the success and very existence of Israel. You depict Jews as apes, pigs, and subhuman monsters, and regularly produce Nazi-like propaganda and cartoons in your state-owned media that accuses Jews and Israelis of blood libels, bloodthirstiness, militarism, a desire for world domination, imperialism, and complicity with the U.S."

3. "how did muslim armoes won so much territory in the 30 years after the death of Mohammed? What were the two empires Muslim armoes fought and why did they easily defeat these forces?

A: Faith and determination... They fought and defeated the crusaders for the battle of Jerusalem in the 1200's and they conquered Spain for 500 years... And they treated Christians, Jews and non-believers with respect and dignity."

RESPECT abd DIGNITY. DO Muslims now have that?
