... jangan "Menang Sorak Kampung Tergadai" ...

Malaysia menang sorak pada hari ini apabila menewaskan Indonesia dalam Final (first leg) Piala Suzuki 2010. Malaysia mendahului 3-0 untuk pusingan pertama yang telah diadakan di Stadium Putra Bukit Jalil, dan kelebihan 3 gol akan dibawa pula ke Indonesia pada pusingan kedua pada 29hb nanti. Bola bulat, macam2 boleh terjadi.

Adat yang menang bersorak yang kalah murung, tetapi adakah itu kesudahan nya. Tidak, itu hanyalah sementara, kesudahannya tiada! Yang menang dan kalah akan silih berganti, namun jangan lah kerana ini manusia bemusuhan malahan bergaduh dan mungkin mengakibatkan kehilangan nyawa ...

Malaysia dan Indonesia di Qatar kini sudah ramai, tetapi masih belum bersatu (secara umumnya) walaupun serumpun. Mungkin pengaruh nasionalis masih menebal walaupun sepatutnya kita dahulukan pengaruh tauhid ... sesama Islam sesama budaya sesama bahasa ... BOLEHKAH??? jika boleh pasti lebih utuh lagi persatuan ini ...

Qatar National Day - 18 December 2010

10 years ago, not many people knows Qatar. That time this country was like isolated from the world map, only few with strong heart will come here, like was nothing to proud off. Yes indeed Qatar was just one little Gulf country with a little oil reserve but huge abandoned Gas reserve. But short after Emir Hamad Khalifa Al Thani became the King and Ruler of Qatar he develope the country massively, and within 25 years of reign, Qatar had became the Richest country (according to GDP per capita) and largest producer of Liquefied Natural Gas in the world. And after winning the rights to host the World Cup 2022, Qatar seems to became famous Gulf Country with glamourous identity.

For information about Qatar please visit Wiki, I always loves wiki ...

Not to be confused with Independent Day.

Now more worker will come to Qatar, for realising the vision to host the next 3 World Cup and to be developed country.

Now people only sees the glamourous Qatar, but not the history. Only by history people can understand this country background and sense of belonging to their second country. (congratulation to Malaysian Team for winning the first ever National Day Quiz)



Anda kenal bendera apa ni?

Ni lah bendera Persekutuan Tanah Melayu 1948 hingga 1963 ...

Daulat Tuanku ...

Sebagai rakyat Malaysia yang bertata susila, kami rakyat Malaysia di Qatar, mendapat peluang bertemu dan menghadap kebawah DYMM YDP Agong Malaysia yang ke 13, Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin dan Permaisuri Sultanah Nur Zahirah. Baginda tuanku datang ke Qatar sebagai membalas kunjungan hormat Emir Qatar ke tanahair pada Mei lepas.

Inilah peluang bagi kami, yang jarang sekali dapat oleh rakyat Malaysia, menghadap dan bersalaman bersama Baginda Tuanku, pasti lah ianya menjadi kenangan indah dalam hidup masing2. Alhamdulillah Baginda begitu berjiwa Rakyat kerana sanggup meluangkan masa bersama kami disini, walaupun jadual lawatan yang agak ketat, sanggup berdiri lama bersalaman dengan kami.

Pada awal paginya baginda mengunjungi Ras Laffan Industrial City bersama Emir dan pembesar negara yang lain untuk menyambut kejayaan mengeluarkan 77 metric ton setahun LNG dan dengan benchmark tersebut Qatar menjadi pengeluar LNG terbesar dunia di waktu ini....

Seterusnya pada hari rabu ini, tuanku akan bermain Golf bersama rakyat Malaysia dan jemputan VVIP yang lain. Sekali lagi rakyat Malaysia yang terpilih akan besama Tuanku.

Baginda akan mmengakhiri lawatan dan pulang ke Malaysia pada 16hb Disember. Kami ingin mengucapkan ribuan terima kasih kepada tuanku dan mengucapkan semoga tuanku panjang umur. Kami sayang tuanku berdua ... Daulat Tuanku ...

Di akhir majlis baginda menghadiahkan setiap tetamu dengan cenderahati ...

Seumpama batu yang bergolek menuruni bukit

Qatar akan menganjurkan World Cup 2022, dan bermula sekarang Qatar akan merencanakan pembangunan infrastructur dan sosial. Dalam ramai2 rakyat Qatar yang gembira menyambut kemenangan hak penganjuran, ada juga yang kurang berminat. Ada yang risau akan datangnya budaya negatif dalam masyarakat Qatar seperti minum arak dan pergaulan bebas, mendedahkan aurat dn sebagainya yang begitu kontras dengan budaya masyarakat Arab Qatar.

Dari sudut positif, penganjuran World Cup ini dapat menjadi batu loncatan untuk Qatar menjadi negara maju dan membangun, seperti Dubai. Menjadi wakil negara Arab dan Islam pertama menganjurkan World Cup. Membuka hijab negara Arab yang sebelum ini bersembunyi di sebalik budaya konservatif. Juga sebagai bunga keamanan di daerah yang bergolak, bersempadan dengan Iran dan Iraq, dan dekat dengan Israel, membuka jalinan persahabatan dunia dan negara Arab ... semua ini pasti telah di lihat dan di nilai oleh pemerintah Qatar yang mementing ilmu untuk rakyatnya.

Namun disebalik kegembiraan itu terdapat cabaran yang amat besar, bukan sahaja untuk pemerintah Qatar, namun juga untuk rakyat Qatar dan penghuni sementara negara Qatar ini. Pemerintah bertanggungjawab untuk memandu proses pembangunan. Pekerja2 asing akan lebih ramai lagi yang akan masuk ke Qatar ... harapnya tidak akan terdapat isu penghambaan zaman moden lagi.

Sekarang terpulang untuk rakyat Qatar untuk mencorakkan negara mereka, samada mereka mahu negara mereka terbuka kepada budaya asing atau tertutup kepada budaya negatif tetapi tetap maju ...

Sebagaimana kata Saudara Abdullah Zaik, cabaran budaya negatif itu akan tetap datang seumpama batu yang datang bergolek menuruni bukit, cuma sekarang terpulang kepada umat islam sendiri menahan dari unsur unsur negatif itu ....

Qatar won the bid for hosting World Cup 2022

Qatar won the bidding for hosting the 2022 World Cup. The decision made last night by FIFA executive committee at Zurich. That means Qatar will start developing the infrastructure including five new stadiums as promised.
At present there are still not adequate infrastructure to handle the event, but Qatar have lot of money to make it happen.




Before you made a conclusion about this, better to see their presentation to FIFA.

THE WINTER IN QATAR

When I was first arrived here i was surpise that this country has a winter season, I dont know that sometimes in the season, the temperature can get to 10 degrees celcius. That is very cold for me. The winter season starts from November and the temperature gradually decreased until season's peak on January and the season end in March. Rain will pour down during this season, which is estimated around 10 day per year only.

In this season, all the recreational and sports activities was compacted and people have to pick and choose what event they want to. So many interesting event, internationaly, localy or within the community only. This coming 17/11/2010 there will be friendly match between Brazil and Argentina, the tickets sold out and I wasnt have chance to watch. But no problem, there will be next to come, just suit yourself to the condition.

Sepetang di Al Khor dan Dhakira

Kami suka jalan jalan waktu petang sambil makan angin dan bermain.
Kampung kami tak lah semeriah mana tapi kami suka kampung kami.
Kami akan keluar bejalan selepas minum petang.

Kadang kadang kami akan ke taman pemainan dan kadang kadang kami akan bersama kawan kawan yang lain bermain sukan. Tak kira apa sukan pun kami tetap enjoy.

Disini tidak seperti di kampung asal kami, kami hidup dengan apa yang kami ada. Kami perlu bersyukur dengan apa yang kami ada dan tidak mengharapkan lebih dari itu. Memang keperluan kami disini mencukupi tetapi jika dibandingkan dengan di kampung halaman, kami kekurangan banyak benda. Di kampung asal kami terdapat beraneka kepelbagaian, dari makanan dan minuman sehingga ke pakaian dan peralatan. Ditambah pula kampung asal kami terdapat pokok yang menghijau dan hujan mencurah selalu.

Disini kami perlu banyak bersabar. Disini kami tidak mengejar masa seperti di bandar besar. Waktu seolah berlalu perlahan disini. Jika kita tidak pandai menyesuaikan keadaan, kita akan berasa bosan. Kadangkala kebosanan itu mengajar kita erti kehidupan. Dan bagi kami itu lebih baik dari kelam kabut keduniaan.

Blog Aina - The beginning

My daughter started her first blog today, thats good for her. I'll encourage her to keep posting and writing. Blogs are still relevance even though facebook becoming no 1 sosial networking medium now. Blogs and FB are different concept and function. Both are really strong tools to be manipulate.

My son as well got his blog 4m33r.blogspot

Is it worth to work in Middle East?

Assalamualaikum,

Many of my friend ask me whether Qatar is good for future sake. This popular question, I had no specific answer. But the main point to consider is;

1. The wages are higher compare to Home Country, depends on your position, normally for senior staff the amount are much higher and comfortable. For non-senior staff the amount just a bit higher than 10k mark. Depend on yourself to save for your old age.
2. Challenges are another important things to think of. Working with mostly Indian citizen, upon not very convenience comparing to Malaysian working ethics. Some people frustrated and went home.
3. Middle east was a desert country. No river, no waterfall, no jungle to catch birds and so on. Ready to expect the boringness when hot season.
4. Summer time the heat rise up to 50 degrees celcius. Its like a big hair dryer blowing to you.
5. Homesick was common, especially Eidul Fitri and Eidul Adha.

As long as you can face this challenge, then you will find the bright side in your life. Actually there are lots of new things to explore inside and outside your shell. Many were survive and stay, few i found had stayed here more than 10 years, and happy staying here.

For me, right now I was really miss my country, even bad news appeared everyday. I miss the rain, roti canai, teh tarik, jungle, waterfall, everything that I remembered. But this is my journey, sacrifice, exploring until I am enough with it. May be one day this will be my best memories ever. InsyaAllah.

Ramadhan dan Syawal 1430H

Kalau dulu di Malaysia, ucapan yang biasa di dengar ialah "Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir Batin" ... di Qatar pulak orang akan ucap "Eid Mubarak". Lain sungguh, rasanya.

Bagus lah, kita dapat mengambil positif dan buang yang negatif. Kalau di Qatar, Eid ul Fitr, tak meriah sangat, tapi Ramadannya meriah, seawal bulan dah di gantung di shopping2 "Ramadhan Kareem". Ucapan tak henti2 dari kawan2 dan iklan di surat khabar. Sale di sana sini, nk beli kereta pun murah bulan Ramadhan. Nk telefon pada bulan Ramadhan pun murah berbanding bulan yang lain.

Bagi aku iftar (berbuka puasa) ditempat kerja, sepanjang bulan di "layan" oleh Qatari, diorang akan bawak makanan, aku cuma tumpang makan je.








Berbalik kepada sambutan Eid ul Fitr, solat sunat kebiasaannya akan dibuat di padang2 dan di Masjid2 yang besar seawal 5.30 pagi iaitu 30 minit selepas syuruk. Kemudian kami akan kunjung mengunjung kerumah rumah sahabat. Kunjung mengunjung berterusan hingga 2-3 minggu Syawal bergantung kepada ramainya komuniti. Ada jugak yang solo aje, mungkin tak biasa berkawan ... itu pilihan masing2. Kalau malu, duduk kt hulu.

Sehingga hari ni (dah raya ke 4) di komuniti saya tak henti2 ada open house. Yey, makan free lagi. Seronoknye, tapi yang penting kita dapat merapatkan hubungan silaturahim, sesama, sambil makan, kita bersembang. Komuniti saya ramai yang tak balik raya, ada dalam 40 keluarga.

Besok, ofis dah buka, sekolah dah start, ramai dah balik dari cuti, hidup kembali seperti biasa.

Kampung Malaysia Al Khor

Asas kepada penyatuan sebuah masyarakat ialah dengan memelihara "kemaluan" jiran2 yang lain. Kemaluan bermaksud sebarang cerita2 yang tidak baik berkenaan seseorang, jangan ditimbulkan dalam percakapan seharian, samada dengan maksud bergurau atau cakap2 kosong... terutama kaum Hawa. Jika anda beristeri, nasihatilah isteri anda dalam perkara berbual dengan rakan2.

Orang yang kurang bijak akan bercakap mengenai orang lain, orang bijak bercakap mengenai keadaan, orang berilmu bercakap mengenai falsafah ...

Alhamdulillah, kampung melayu Al Khor terdiri dengan asas penyatuan orang2 Melayu 90%, selebihnya kaum2 lain, sepertimana kaum di Malaysia. Setakat hari ini, keharmonian nya terjalin rapi dengan ikatan persaudaraan yang erat. Sedikit negatif di sana sini tu biasa lah, tapi jangan di ungkit perkara negatif tu, diam kan aje, insyallah lama2 hilang .....

Ingat lah satu perkara, manusia tidak sempurna, ada kelemahan dan kelebihan masing2 ... jika kita boleh belajar memaafkan kelemahan dan kita gunakan kelebihan masing2 .... insyaAllah kita akan menjadi masyarakat yang kuat, walau dimana juga kita berada ...

Its Moving Time ...

Actually we had already moved to our new house in Al Khor Community about 3 weeks ago. As usual the moving time is the busiest time, with so many things to be sorted and packed.

Our new house is a little bit smaller in size, but the good thing is its totally new... everything was new, kitchen appliances, air cond and its smell concrete and simen... the community is also nice as we had almost all malaysian in block C206,207 and 208. Our kids seems enjoying playing around with the other malaysian kids.

Its now time for me to set up again everything such as internet, tv, furniture and so on. Doing packing and repacking jobs was very tiring, and after all completed, we were quite satified with the results...

The advantage in living in AKC were :
Children much closer to school, daddy closer to workplace
Community of Malaysian more bigger than before, around 150+ families
Clubhouse, Al Waha, Al Dakhira and Al Nakheel inside the vicinity to enjoy the facilities
Shopping complexes were away to be reach, so save some money... haha

ok thats all for now ... and time for pictures ...

Ada apa dengan NIAT?+

Ada apa dengan niat?

Pada pengalaman umrah yang lepas beberapa pelajaran dapat diperolehi. Bagi saya satu pelajaran yang sangat penting ialah NIAT. Setiap perbuatan bergantung kepada niat seseorang. Mungkin bagi sestengah orang perkara ini sangat remeh tapi bagi saya ia meninggalkan kesan yang sangat mendalam lebih lebih lagi ini adalah perjalanan pertama saya ke tanah suci.

Sebelum berangkat ke tanah suci perasaan saya bercampur aduk antara cerita-cerita orang dan faedah yang saya dapat jika saya berumrah. Sudah menjadi kebiasaan orang akan ke tanah suci dan berdoa secara khusus untuk mencapai hajat tertentu. Ada orang berdoa untuk mendapat anak, kemudian dimakbulkan Allah, dan berbagai lagi permintaan yang diminta. Begitu juga saya dengan perasaan sebelum pergi hendak mendapat sesuatu namun setelah beberapa hari bermain di fikiran, akhirnya Maha Suci Allah diberikan petunjuk.

Hakikatnya, apakah niat kita hendak mengerjakan umrah? Adakah untuk mendapatkan sesuatu yang bersifat keduniaan? Tak mustahil Allah akan mengurniakan rezeki di dunia tetapi apakah itu kesudahan kita? Tidakkah yang lebih penting ialah penghujung perjalanan kita iaitu syurga?

Alhamdulillah, kini saya akan sentiasa berhati hati dengan apa yang saya mahukan...

MAQ UMRAH TRIP 2010

Alhamdulillah dengan ketentuan Allah kami sekeluarga bersama Abah dan Mak Sg Udang dan Mak Jasin telah dapat mengerjakan umrah pada 4hb April 2010.

Berakhirnya sebuah ikatan ...

Malam semalam kami berkumpul, walaupun tak semua dapat hadir tapi dapat lah jua kami membincang kan mengenai halatuju ikatan kami selama hampir setahun ini. Suasana malam tadi tidaklah seceria kami sebelum ini, gelak ketawa riuh rendah keriangan kami selama ini pun nampaknya tak seceria sebelumnya. Mungkin juga kerana cuaca sejuk diluar membawa ke dalam.

Setelah berbincang selama hampir sejam, segala pilihan yang kami ada di bincangkan, walaupun berat hati hendak membubarkanya, namun itu adalah pilihan terbaik yang kami ada. Persatuan Malaysian Al Haya, telah pun melalui saat-saat manis dan gemilang, dengannya kami bersatu, bekerjasama, bermasyarakat, berjiran demi sebuah ikatan persahabatan, atau boleh juga dikatakan ikatan kekeluargaan. Sehingga disaat akhirnya, ahli kami telah mencecah seramai 30 keluarga. Kalau dibandingkan dengan mana-mana compound di Qatar ini, Al Haya mempunyai ahli yang paling ramai setakat ini. Sehingga kalau disebut Al Haya pasti semua Malaysian di Qatar akan tahu tempatnya.

Namun oleh kerana sebahagian dari kami terpaksa berpindah ke Al Khor Community (AKC), ikatan kekeluargaan ini terpaksa dibubarkan. Bukan masalah jarak yang menjadi penghalang utama kami, namun faktor yang lain iaitu kami akan bermasyarakat pula dengan gagasan penduduk Malaysia yang lain seperti Al Mergab, La Palace dan penghuni yang telah lama disana, terdiri dari staff RasGas dan QatarGas.

Dengan berhijrahnya kami dari Doha ke Al Khor, akan menjadikan penduduk AKC akan bertambah dan yang pastinya kehadiran kami akan lebih menyerlah/menonjol dengan ketara dan tentunya kami akan mewujudkan sebuah persatuan demi menjaga kepentingan dan kebajikan sesama ahli di AKC.

Sebuah jawatankuasa telah pun dibentuk, dan aku percaya terdapat perancangan yang akan dilaksanakan diwaktu yang terdekat ini seperti mengadakan kelas KAFA untuk anak-anak. Nampaknya ini suatu yang amat positif dan aku merasakan seperti suatu permulaan yang baru pula bagi kami di Qatar ini, InsyaAllah berkat rahmat Allah yang Maha Pengasih dan Penyayang, Malaysian di Qatar akan bertambah makmur dan maju seperti majunya bumi Qatar yang di berkati Allah ini ... Ameeen

MAQ Futsal and Crabbing

As I said before this winter time will be a busy time for us, because so many activities were done in this time especially on the weekends. On Friday 5th, I am competing in Futsal tournament, while my family going to catch crab or we call "crabbing" near the beach.

The Futsal tournament, was a very tiring for me as it starts from 8am till 10pm. I played for 7 games and won 3, draw 3, lost in the semifinal. I'd joined My Mergab team and my body still manage go for all of the 7 games, but the next day my right knee got swelled. Sign of aging is obvious now.

After the game I went straight to Simaisma Beach where Al Haya family with 9 cars were waiting for me. The weather were so cold maybe around 10 degrees and the catches were not so good, the crab are still small. The crab season just starts. After all they just enjoying the picnic and playing around. We went back around 11pm and I admit it was a tiring weekends ever since I was in Qatar.

Qatar - The Blessing Land

From my view, I think Qatar was blessed by Allah.

First, Al Jazeera the world known International Broadcasting Channel was based in Qatar. It function as independent media that report unbiased news especially it represent Islamic country or Arab world.

Second, Yusuf Al Qaradhawi was here, serves at Qatar University. He once was exile by the Egyptian Government and came to Qatar in early 60s.

Third, you can judge it yourself by look at this youtube video:

School Holiday and busy weekend

Its been a long time I was not updating this blog, one of the reason was too busy with program with family, going sealine, outing, pasar malam and few others community program . The other reason was facebook. Now people getting crazy about facebook everyday, every time, almost all the time with mobile technology in hand. I'm also get infected, even my wife and 2 kids ...

There was a lot of things to share, story to tell but a little time to write, so facebook is more convenient. But in blog we still need to maintain because it still the best choice for dairying/journal our lives moment.

Few things that comes to my mind last three weeks, first ... we have choices, we are the one who will made us looks like, we are the one who make ourselves to looks like a dumb or to looks like a clever person. Why did I really matters about what people looked at me? Actually, in my daily working environment, Malaysian people are quiet and don't want any problems occur so they are not interested to create issues. So because of our quietness, most people think that Malaysian are not a good workers.

But actually most Malaysian are highly capable and experience workers, like in RG, most of Malaysian are ex Petronas with experience more than 10 years... so we are better workers than most of the south asian workers. Petronas is a company which developed people, not like most of the Middle East company, they only hired an experienced people and get their expertise to be shared among the locals which are not always happen.

Second thing is we need to always think positively and put aside the negative thought as it will always blocked our progress in life ... betul la kata² Che Mat, always maintain our mental stability ... and from now on I will always look ahead and focus on my development ... insyaAllah.

Third thing was I planned to take my mother and parents in-law to come to Qatar and planned to go Umrah together, so now its time for me to make preparation lahir and batin... terasa diri ini amat kurang ilmu dan amal, kalau di ikutkan perasaan I mau menangis mengalir air mata dok kenangkan kotornya diri ini dari dosa2 silam ... satu pengajaran yang I dapat dari ceramah umrah oleh Ust. Jamal dari Indonesia bekerja QP, apa kata beliau ... ikhlaskanlah amal mu yang sedikit itu agar setiap amal itu bermanfaat dan bernilai di sisi Allah .... ameeenn...

MAQ Sand Dune Trip 2010

Location - inland sea coordinate 24°34'37.73"N 51°21'41.64"E
Total participants - 39 4x4 vehicle
Date Time: 12/2/200 0730-1930

The trip was held on Friday, I was just finished my duty that night and short after arrived at home, me and my family had to prepare and went with 4 other Al Haya family, Chots, Zacks, Abdans and Maleks. We arrived around 0830 at Sealine and continue journey to Khor Al Udaid (Inland Sea) and arrived there around 0930 am. When arrived we had lunch and playing around, on the afternoon we had a Jumaah prayer in the desert.

Sandune are one of the favorite things to do in Qatar, what else to do in desert country. But the inland sea is beautiful with blue turquoise water and white soft sandy beach. Anyway the important thing we are happy.

I also had an experience with my Santa Fe in sand-dune. It can climb fast, maneuvering very well in the sand even though it was not as tough as land cruiser. I will try again next time...

RasGas Malaysian Family Day 2010

Malaysian are now becoming more to form big community, estimated from these 3 compound were 70 plus family, so we organized this first ever family day.

MAQ Pasar Malam event 20/1/2010

Last Friday Malaysian Association at Qatar organized a Pasar Malam event at Malaysian Embassy. Its actually 2nd time (1st time last year when my family just arrived here) and as always it attract many Malaysian to came.

Its also appeared in Gulf Times newspaper. For time being let the picture speak for itself.

Rezeki Mu

Sahabat bertanya: "Bagaimana dengan rezeki mu hari ini"
ku jawab: "Bukan rezeki yang kucari, tapi kehidupan yang lebih utama"

ada juga yang bertanya: "berapa RM target sebelum balik Malaysia?"
eemmm susah jugak nak jawab, sebab saya tak ada sebarang amaun dalam kepala....

tapi aku jawab la camni: "aku nak bagi anak2 sekolah dulu kat sini, pastu baru pikir nak balik" ... bukan tak de niat nak menabung tapi aku tak mahu rushing, biar slow and steady, supaya aku boleh sentiasa beringat dan mengimbangi amal dan rezeki, insyaAllah.

Ingat lagi dulu kawan aku rajin berseloroh ... nak pakai kete wish ke, nak beli rumah banglo ke, cepat2 sikit sebab dah nak kiamat, takut tak sempat ... 2012 dah nak dekat nih... hehehe

Lets Get Together

This time I would like to share my story of our community in Al Haya and Al Mergab.

Last week we managed to run a scuba introduction class, this week we have table tennis competition and we are planning to make a family day for 3 community, Al Haya, Al Mergab and La Palace. With all the activities running, its look like we will be busy this winter time. For me its not only for fun but the most important is we can get together.

Why it was important of being together? First, because we are all human we cannot live solely in this world, not because we will be die if not do so but being together certainly will make us more up to date with information, we can get help when needed or in case of emergency. We also have many friends to share our happy and sad time. And I think you all have better explanation than me why we must be together.

But to be together is not that easy than we can imagine, first because everybody have their ego (including you and me). We always want to be the best and looks cool to others. Second, we all like to hear gossip and rumours, why? because most of us when we chat, talks with each other these things will spice up the conversation. Then we will laugh together (owh i like that part). but sometimes when we talk we tend to make wrong assumption and perception about others ... and syaitan will do the rest.

Imagine if we all isolate ourselves from each others, than this negative things will grown up, and there will communication block between certain individus because of very different characteristics (tak sebulu orang kata). Then the worst part, you can imagine it, Lifes will become more tensions and dull.

So, that is why togetherness is important, because we can get rid of the negative things, to get to knows each other and together we can make it better. Some says, "tak kenal maka tak cinta".

To my friend out there, who spent energy and times to make people to get together, keep up your good deeds, Allah knows what you are doing and He will compensates you accordingly.
