Fingers = People ??

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

"How's the people in Jordan?"
"Ermm.. Some of them are very kind, some of them are in the middle and... Sorry to say that some of them are not very good.."
"It's alright. I understand. You know what.. My sis said that people are like our fingers. Look. All the five fingers are not the same right??

I nodded and gave a smile agreed with her point.
This is the conversation between my new friend, Baraah and I when we met about three days ago.

People Resemble Our Fingers

All fingers are different with each other. So do the people. Not all people are bad and not all people are kind. So, when we meet people that are very kind to us, appericiate them. If we meet bad people, let say in their manner just remind yourself not to do the same manner. If it is a weird stranger, just be careful by taking some precautions for the sake of our safety.

Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover

The appearances, deeds and etc may affect your judgement about someone. Maybe when you met someone in the past with the same.. ermm.. let say the way of walking and she was not very friendly, and then at the other time you met the different person with the same type of walking, you might set in your mind that the person was also not very friendly.

Another example, when you met a person who rarely smiles, you would think that he or she is an arrogant person.

Don't let your mind to think like that. Free your mind from having bad impressions about someone.

For the first example, remember that different person will have at least a different in him or herself. Maybe only the way of walking is the same but the second person you met might be a friendly person.

For the second one, try to be positive. Maybe the person was in stress because of having too many exams or problems or anything that made he or she rarely smiles.

Conclusion
Set your mind to be a positive thinker..!!

Wassalam..

Raya..!! Raya..!!

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

Ada org kata.. kalau buat post dalam english, die x de feel sangat sebab agak susah nak keluar perkataan yg betul2 kena dgn kehendak ayat. Except if the person is very good in english. Bila fikir2 balik, memang betul pon sebenarnya. Lagi satu, pembaca or the readers from Malaysia macam lebih bersemangat la nak baca kalau post tu ditulis dalam bahasa melayu. Kalau macam tu, kenapa tulis dalam English ek?? Sebab.. nak improve English laa.. tu salah satu sebab utama. Sebab yg lain.. mana la tau ada kawan dari bangsa lain nak baca ke.. kalau dalam english, even broken english, maybe diorang faham laa sikit2.. haha.. perasan.. ('=_=). Hurmm.. dah lama berfikir.. eyh x de la lama sangat.. akhirnya penulis buat keputusan buat selang seli. Lepas english, melayu dan sebaliknya..

Okeyh, kita pergi kepada tajuk sebenar.. Raya..!!

Malam itu, takbir raya bergema di seluruh pelosok negara Jordan menandakan esok adalah hari raya. Takbir yg sedang bergema itu lain sedikit dari kebiasaan yang selalu didengar oleh rakyat Malaysia. Takbir yg dilaungkan tiada alunan sayu tiada alunan merdu. Takbirnya biasa sahaja namun dapat dihayati sepenuhnya oleh sesiapa yang memahami.. Namun begitu, seusai solat isyak, terdengar takbir seolah2 kami berada di Malaysia. "Bio betul.. ooo patutlaa.. Budak2 Melayu pulak yg bertakbir.. bagus2!!" Sayu terasa. Teringat ketika takbir beralun di kampung.. Teringat dulu2 bersama2 nenek membuat ketupat palas.. Teringat ummi n mak teh n mak ngah sibuk2 rebus nasi himpit. Teringat...macam2 laa.. Huhu..

Tapi, x lama pon mengenang nostalgia lalu. Lepas beberapa minit, penulis dan housematenya (Zulaikha, kak piya n kak faez) sibuk dalam suasana memasak. Kalau dulu, tolong2 je.. Sekarang, kena buat sendiri.. Kalau dulu ummi yg fikir nak masak apa.. sekarang kena fikir sendiri.. Huhu.. Memang belajar berdikari laa.. Nak tau kami masak apa?? Firstly, menu utama mee hoon goreng -masakan kak faez and roti jala -masakan kak piya. Dessert: puding roti -penulis try buat. Alhamdulillah, jadi2.. hehe.. Dan yg paling istimewa sebab jarang dibuat orang even orang2 kat Malaysia pon jarang buat..(yelaa.. dah ada.. buat pe susah2 buat..) that is SATE..!! -Zulaikha n kak faez potong n cucuk daging. -sama2 bakar n kipas: yg paling hebat mengipas kak faez n penulis sampai x de 'ENERGY' n sakit tangan.. Fuhh!! Cayalaa..!!

Mee hoon n roti jala..

Puding roti

SATE..~!~!

Malam tu jugak syabab Malaysia dipecahkan kepada beberapa kumpulan untuk bertakbir di rumah2 akhawat -takbir versi Malaysia ye..! hehe.. Ada yang bagus. tapi dengar cerita ada jugak yg x hafal.. hakhak.. x pe x pe.. faham.. setahun sekali kan..

Hurmm memang x tidur malam la siapkan persiapan2 untuk raya malam tu. Semangat x?? Hehe.. Esoknya, macam kat Malaysia pakai baju raya.. pakai wangi2.. lawa2.. pergi solat raya. Budak Malaysia conquer masjid.. haha..

Then, sambung balik buat kerja2 dapur and kemas2.. Dalam lepas zohor, tetamu first datang. Iaitu Kak Ahiyasah and da geng..!! Tetamu2 first nie buat r&r kat rumah penulis.. Penat sangat beraya kot.. Hehe.. Tetamu datang berderu-deru lepas asar. Penat sangat melayan. kak faez n kak piya sibuk kat dapur masak makanan tambahan. Zulaikha sibuk cuci pinggan. Huhu.. Sampai la maghrib baru tetamu2 beransur-ansur pulang..

Wah..!! It's the time for us pulak nak beraya..!! First pergi rumah kak lina and da geng. Second, rumah kak Robe'ah n da geng. Third, rumah kak Ahiyasah and da geng. Kami collapse di situ.. Huhu.. (Tidur rumah kak ahiyasah. Bukan setakat r&r.. buat macam kampung sendiri siap.. hehe.. thanx kak..)

Second day patutnya pergi MSD. tapi penulis and housemates x pergi sebab penat sangat.. Alaa.. x pe x rugi pon sebab kitorg buat sate jugak.. hehe.. lagipon MSD tu sempit + ramai sangat orang + pernah je makanan x cukup.. huhu.. Tapi tahun nie cukup kot..

Hurmm.. amacam?? Seronok x baca suasana beraya kat Jordan?? huhu.. Okeylaa.. Cuma, iyelaa.. bukan beraya dgn family laa.. huhu.. x pe x pe.. tahun depan nak balik.. Raya kat Malaysia..!!!

Wassalam..

I Was Impressed..!!

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

Firstly, I would like to wish all Muslims Happy Eid Mubarak..!! "Kullu 'am wa antum bikhair.." Before I write about hari raya in Jordan, I would like to tell about what did the Urdunians do during Ramadhan that really made me feel respect with them.

The things that really impressed me were:-

• all the restaurants were closed from the morning till the time of break fast. No even one of them were eating or drinking. Not even the non-muslims. I don't know if there were any because it's difficult to be found except once, in the University. Maybe they feel really thirsty after walking from a building to another at that time. However, that was only once rather than in Malaysia. Huhu.. One more thing, here if it was the time for solat Jumaat, ALL the shops will be closed and they will open back after the prayer. Look!! How they really respect the Jumaat prayer time.
• Many of them were with Qur'an wherever they go. Even though he is only a guard..!! (terharu n insaf sangat!!) If they are taxi drivers, many of them will listen to Qur'an al kareem rather than other songs. Try to compare it with Malaysians.. Huhu.. Don't have to give the answers because all of us know it right??
• Then, during tarawih the masjid was always full especially the last ten days of Ramadhan. We always have to rush to the masjid at that time. If not, there would be no place for us. On 27th Ramadhan, they believe that it was a lailatul qadr. So, at that night the masjid was very full till a few of them had to pray outside. Wow!! They really wanted the 'pahala' for that night..!! How was Malaysians?? Where are they on the last ten days? Huhu..

Okay, now we move to the hari raya part.. No. To be more arranged I will post on the another new post. Insyaallah..

Wassalam..
