The Young and The Stylish
Assalamualaikum,Went to Sunway Pyramid earlier today with my siblings. Watched a movie, did some shopping, looked around at the people. Quite interesting the people we saw.A few groups of young kids, a lot of families, some couples and a whole lot of tourists. But what was really interesting was looking at what they were wearing.I understand the need for people to dress nicely when going out in public. I know that people feel good about themselves when they look nice and presentable. Nobody wants to go out looking like a mess who just got out of bed. People dress to impress, and there's nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with wanting to be trendy

A Small Case of Capitalisation
Assalamualaikum,Small issue here. When we write in relation to our Lord and Creator, it is my humble opinion that we should always use capital letters. You know how in Malay we always write like "diberkati-Nya" or "kerana-Nya". I have seen a lot of people when they write, they don't always use capital letters. They would write "tuhan" or "god". Sometimes "insyaallah" instead of "insyaAllah", sometimes "allah" not "Allah".It does seem like a small matter, maybe even trivial, but that's why I think we always overlook it. In the Quran, to show Allah's power and u

Actions Speak Louder than Words
Assalamualaikum,Here's a story for you.One group of friends are at a restaurant waiting for their dinner. Then another group of friends come to the same restaurant and sit down a few tables away. While waiting for their food, the maghrib azan is heard from the nearby surau. Since the food didn't arrive yet, a few people from the 1st table decide to go pray at the surau. Just as they're about to get up, the drinks come, so they sit back down. One of them while sipping on his drink, glances over at the other table. To his surprise, no one was there anymore. There were food and drinks on the table, but no people sitting there. They ha

Malaysian Football Hooligans
Assalamualaikum,For those of you who know me, you'll know I don't watch Malaysian football. But tonight was the final of Piala Malaysia, so my friends and I watched it lah. Anyway, I'm not about to comment on the football. But I would like to talk about the fans.In England, hooliganism among football supporters was a huge issue in the past. Now even if there are a few isolated cases of hooliganism involving English fans, the problem has been almost completely eradicated. Unfortunately, I don't think the same can be said about our Malaysian football fans.Watching the match on TV, it was like a warzone. Mercun going off contin

The other side of Aurat
Assalamualaikum,First of all, if anyone was waiting, hoping, maybe praying for an update, sorry lah I didn't update in a long time. Been busy with the usual final-days-rush-to-finish-assignments-and-lab-reports. Even now I'm in the middle of finals, I'm only writing because I malas to study environmental law. Hehe..so here's a short entry on something I think not many people have ever thought about.Aurat is a common subject for discussion, and one that many people feel very emotional about. A women's aurat is a "tool" many people use to label women, although it shouldn't b
