"Kanak-kanak riang" in Krabi, Thailand

Six "kanak-kanak riang" had thrilling fun in Krabi, Thailand last week.Syifak, Yunk, Erin, Hana, A'a & Me!Awesome!!Food & ShoppingAfter checked-in at Sunda Resort, we headed to Ao-nang,a small town in Krabi, for lunch. We're damn hungary after the 1-hour-plus flight. Luckily, there are many Muslims around as they claimed that 99% of the people over there are Muslims.

We had various kind of food ranging from a nice Thai food restaurantto a makeshift stall by the road sideto a motorbike-cum-stall along the pavement and to a thatched...

Flying Cessna 172 Aircraft, code name "Papa Bravo"

I became a Pilot! Woohoooo...It's not an easy day, oh boy. Everything happened on the day of my flight!I think I had a "crash course" on flying today. Not crash course as in learning how to avoid crashing when flying. But, crash course as in intense course covering not just flying, but also flight checkup and repair!We were scheduled for flying at 9AM. But, due to so many reasons, it got delayed to 12 noon! I'll tell you.IMCAs soon as we arrived at the airport, excited, Captain Naim told us that the airport is in the state of IMC. What the heck is that?IMC (Instrument Meteorological Conditions) - Weather conditions that preclude visual flight....

Deen Tight: Bridging faith, music & tradition

Islamic music has long been rigidly related to just nasyeed, an Islamic vocal music that is either sung a capella or accompanied by percussion instruments such as the daff. In general, true Islamic nasyeed does not contains lamellaphone instruments, string instruments or wind and brass instruments as Muslim scholars interpret Islam as prohibiting the use of musical instruments except for some basic percussion.Nowadays, a new refreshing Islamic music has became phenomenal through the evolution of songs with Islamic values lyrics in variety of genre such as R&B, Soul, pop, hip-hop, rock, metal and you-name-it.

I believe in only ONE chance

On the 3rd day of Ramdhan, my throat suddenly felt so painful, swollen. Trouble sleeping. Took wood peppermint cough syrup and sucked in lozenges. Shivering. Took panadol. Still shivering. Took another panadol. Slept.The next day, I took MC and went to see my doctor. Hey.. I was still fasting, okay. Just a little pain doesn't hinder me from observing fasting in this holy month. Alhamdulilah... I still managed to make it.I don't mind driving further from my new house to see my doctor whose clinic is near to my old house. It's worth it, I tell you!I told him what's bothering me and he examined me. He took his pen, started drawing on his writing...

4 - 12 Jun 2011: Helsinki, Finland

4 Jun 2011, SaturdayTouched down at Schiphol airport, Amsterdam from KLIA after my very first loooooong flight (12 hours). Transit flight to Helsinki, Finland for another 3hr 25min. Only now I understand why people hate long flight. I did walked to the back of the plane to just stand on my two feet, can't take the seating anymore!Checked-in the hotel. Going up to the room is a discovery itself. They have a "weird" lift ('hissi' in Finnish), see picture. It has frozen-fridge-like door which you need to open before entering! With big luggage, max only 2 persons can fit it at one go. kuikuikui... With the heavy trolley bag, I squeezed myself into...
