perjalanan kita

Assalamualaikum and hi all.


today is pretty awesome for me. i never had pleasant weekend where i could walk and inhale the air like i did today since i'm not sure exactly when. well, quite a long time since i always have stuff to do with assignments and sport practices. i woke up this morning, opened our apartment sliding door, stepped out side and take a deep breath. what a great refreshement. i felt renewed. it was freaking cold though. couldn't stand to stay outside for too long. then, i made my way to domain since i really have to have really good stamina for coming games. i need to jog 3 times per week atleast. so that i won't easily get 'puncit'.








cam biasa, kalau ada rugby mesti tengok.sempat juga sambil lalu tengok first half sampai habis. they are junior high i reckon because their skills are not well develop yet. xdde uhmm sgt lgi, y mana bila tengok tak rsa nak kacing gigi lagi





last night i went to a programme. it was a progaramme called From the street to the Deen. it was about Musa Yasin. i'm not sure whether you guys familair with him or not because me myself never know him before. he is an African American semi-pro basketball player and ex-rapper. the whole programme was about how he comes to Islam. it was about how he, from all his past to the sensation of Deen. when i arrived at business school where the event took place, they were just started. the ladies at the door asked us to have a seat and listen to the announcement. you know what, Musa Yasin wasn't there. he didn't come. the guy in charge explained that Musa Yasin stuck at the New Zealand immigration and custom. at first, the flight he boarded had an severe engine problem so that they had to turn to Australia if i not mistaken. Then he waited for the next flight to New Zealand. When he arrived New Zealand airport, he wasn't allowed to enter New Zealand. he was stopped due to immigration issues. it made me speechless for quite along time. how come? well, he is known as a person who spread the words of Islam and how he comes to Islam has inspired many people. i was so frustrated really. the guy in charge, Ali Tahir said that probably New Zealand is not ready for all this stuff yet. yea, that's true. i still remember when i was on the way back home from Epsom, there was a lady sit next to me asked whether i come from Afganistan. ok, that was really funny. Afganistan? am i cute enough to be an Afganistan girl? well it was just random assumption because people think that muslim only come from Middle East. yang paling yang tak menahan ada orang tanya kitaorng ni ni dari Israel ke. tu la sebabnya kena tengok berita. ni tengok TV tengok mtv je. ok, where am i now? oh yes, the lady. then i said i'm from Malaysia. she said she never see any Malaysian like me. agak menyedihkan disitu. Malaysia is not known as an Islamic country even though the official religion is Islam and the majority of the population is Muslim. it got me to think. this is not the first time people look odd when i say i'm from Malaysia. then she said, she has been in New Zealand for 20 ++ years. she told me that it was just last 3 years Islam is well accepted in New Zealand. before that, it wans't. it tells me why our goverment doesn't send many students before. about Musa Yasin, we still could see him eyes to eyes because they tried to live stream him from Australia. he still in Australia, waiting to be sent back to States. sempat juga dia mencerita kan macm mana dia boleh masuk Islam. that really inspiring. he claims that the hardest thing to leave after he came to Islam is music. music was his life. he said, somehow music can shaken your faith. the lyrics i mean. and he gave very much advice to the girls. i really bless. Alhamdullilah!





semoga kita sebagai orang yang lahir dalam Islam lebih memahami Islam. semoga Islam kita bukan lah sekadar warisan


thanks for reading!
