Oslo in a nutshell
9/16/2009 09:15:00 PM
9/10. Ryanair passengers landing at Torp Airport may use buses at a cost of 260Nkr (about 30 euro+/ for student only) for return ticket. You should not miss the return bus because it will cost u your flight. Bus from Oslo to Torp is only available for specific flight for each day. so if u miss the bus, u miss your flight.
At the city center, u can easily buy a daily ticket at a cost of 65Nkr (8 euro+) and u can use them for T-bane (metro) Tram, and some boat to Bygdoy and some small island nearby. Punch the daily ticket once only and u can use them for 24 hours. If you are not a truthful and reliable species, ride all the transport for free. no one cares.
Most of the attraction in the city are easily accessible by all these means of transport.

Cleanliness:
About the same as Paris but dirtier than Dublin i think. 8/10. The city council was on election when i arrived there, so maybe the cleaner were somehow on holiday. :)
Where to stay:
I suggest you stay at Heraldsheimvein Youth Hostel (Hostelling International) which is literally 10 minutes from the city by tram 17. The hostel is up the small hill next to a football pitch and can be seen as you set off the tram. if u take the metro, stop at Sinsen Station but you may need to ask people for a direction from there coz it can be a bit tricky with the arrangement of the motorway there. This hostel is the cheapest i can find. it cost about 30 euro per night. Free from hustle and bustle of the city plus you can cook on your own if u want to for the meal. If you go there during winter, you may got a chance to try ice sledge off the small hill free of charge as long as you wish.
What to do:
-Museums and museums and museums (summer and winter alike)
-Winter activity mostly started on December and one should expect to spend a bit more for the sports.
-Summer activity mostly ended at 31 August including most of the waterparks and the TusenFryd Amusement Park (only open during weekend after this date)
-For a better experience of a lifetime in Norway, you should spend more and buy the ticket for FJORD TOURS that brings u to the west side of Norway where you can experience the breathtaking view of the Fjord. It is a 24 hour trip and cost you about 250 euro.
-Go outside the city for a better experience of the country. You may want to visit Gamlebyen, an old fortress town south of the Oslo. It took 1 hour and 7 minutes of high speed train to get there (Fredrikstad station) and believe me it is worth a visit. The city itself dated back to 1567 and among the oldest city in Europe that still maintain as it were before.
-Bergen and the Flam railway is a must visit. Maybe i'll go there again sometimes.

How many days do i need to spend in Oslo itself?
2 days is enough for you to stroll inside the city and pass thru every small and popular streets there. Everything is within the walking distance from the metro, bus and tram station. If u want to spend more time in the museums (more than 20 of them) around oslo, u may need an extra day for that. Some of the museums is worth visiting and some are fairly okay. Museum worth a visit: Nobel Peace Center/ Historical Museum/Munch Museum and the National Gallery.
Muslim visitors:
no need to worry about halal food and places to pray because at the Gronland area, there are about 7 mosques and some of them even has the minaret. 2 of the most famous mosque are World Islamic Mission which is a bit far from the Grondland t-bane station and the other one, Islamic cultural center of Norway is only 3 minutes from the Grondland t-bane. The former provided good food for iftar and the one after the maghrib prayer. Halal shops available at almost every corner of the Grondland.
World Islamic Mission Norway
Friendliness:
9/10. The youngsters are more open to visitors but for some reason, the elderly doesn't look like so. Let alone they move away once they heard you say "Excuse me". The hostel receptionist has very good English and also most of the visitor centers. However, none of them would really open their mouth and offer you a hand for a picture like most of the Irish i guess. The train station personal will try their best to keep you away from the ticketing counter. They will however assist you at the automatic ticketing machine. The gate keeper of the castle, guards in museum and the tour guide personnel are very friendly however.
important things to remember:
- Everything is Oslo is VERY VERY expensive. Shish kebab meal normally cost you 75Nkr (almost 10 euro). Its better to buy some pizza and share it with a few friends. Don't bother going to 7 eleven to buy milk! 500 ml milk cost u 59Nkr!! Buy chocolate milk from a shop with a green signboard (i forgot the name) thats available almost everywhere in Oslo. i think the shop is either RIMI or RIMA. Eat breakfast as full as you can before you start your day at the hostel.
- Pay a visit during winter if u want to feel the true coldness of the Arctic and don't afraid to invest a bit for the beautiful Fjord in the west. Summer visit is best in July. Lots of activities available in July.
- Almost every Norwegian women is beautiful! Treat them kindly. Especially the guards in the museums. :D
Quick fact about Norway
- There are too many lakes over there
- Tunnels are almost everywhere too. From Torp to Oslo, u'll go through almost 10 tunnels. Some are short and some are long enough to make u think when will this darkness ends.
- Pakistani and Somalian make the two largest immigrant community in the country.
- Norwegian government policy about the asylum seeker is among the best in the world and most likely the best in europe. They at least provide the best "waiting area" for the asylum seeker thou it may take as long as 10 years before one application shall be accepted.
- if u travel far enough to the north, u'll likely end up in the Arctic Circle area. you can actually study in the town of Tromso which literally is in the arctic area. How cool is that?!
- Nudity is common in Vigelandparken. if u know what i mean. :D
i'll be back with more stories and opinion. Can't wait to tell what i found about Malaysia in the Noble Peace Center, a women behind a great man's success and also the story of Linda Bournane.

Dengan nama Allah yang Maha Pemurah lagi Maha Pengasih,
Subhanallah, alhamdulillah, Allahuakbar. Sekarang ni baru beberapa jam umur aku mencecah 22 tahun. Rasa syukur aku panjatkan setinggi-tingginya kepada Allah SWT yang memanjangkan usia untuk mencecah jarak perjalanan kehidupan sejauh ini dan menikmati nikmat kurniaan-NYA. Semoga aku sentiasa bersyukur dengan segala pemberian-NYA dan menjadi hamba yang taat dan patuh dengan suruhan Allah.
Sejarah hidup
22 tahun hidup di dunia ni bila dikenangkan rasa macam singkat sangat. Teringat lagi pengalaman waktu sekolah rendah, main di kampung dan benda-benda lain yang aku buat masa aku kecik-kecik dulu. Terasa macam baru sangat semua tu. Ada antara memori tu segar lagi dalam ingatan. Bila balik ke kampung baru-baru ni, aku lalu di kawasan rumah tok, tempat aku membesar dan menghabiskan masa kanak-kanak aku. Rumah tu sekarang ni pun dah banyak berubah. Bahagian dapur tu dah runtuh, kebun belakang rumah tu pun dah tak rupa kebun lagi. Rumah tu pun khabarnya dah uzur sangat sebab budak-budak yang sewa tu tak jaga sangat. Kalau dulu raya masih berkumpul kat situ walaupun tok dah takdak, tapi sejak rumah tu disewakan beberapa tahun lepas, semuanya tinggal kenangan saja. Rasanya rumah tu paling kurang pun dah dihuni lebih 50 tahun sebelum disewakan. Mungkin lebih lama. Aku tak berapa pasti.
Aku sebagai cucu lelaki sulung (cucu kedua) memang mendapat tempat dalam keluarga.^_^ Aku ingat lagi, sebelum arwah wan Din (datuk) meninggal, aku dihantar hampir setiap hari oleh wan ke PASTI yang hanya lebih kurang 400 meter dari rumah. Kadangkala aku pergi sendiri kalau Kak Aina ada sekali (kat mana eh sekarang ni kak aina?). Cikgu-cikgu di PASTI memang semua kenal aku sebab arwah wan dan tok kedua-duanya agak terkenal dipondok tempat aku membesar. Masa umur 6 tahun, wan Din (Hj Fadzil Hj Shafie) meninggal. Tarikh pun aku masih ingat walaupun orang cakap tak elok ingat tarikh orang mati sebab katanya nanti lemah ingatan. (tak dapat dipastikan kebenarannya)
1994 aku dimasukkan ke darjah satu di Sekolah Kebangsaan Langgar. Di sini aku mula kenal dengan kawan rapat aku sampailah sekarang iaitu En. Ahmad Faris Ismail (aka PEH).Kedua-dua kami diletakkan di kelas 1 Melati. Waktu darjah 3 aku dan Faris dilantik jadi pengawas tapi Faris tolak. Dia takmau jadi pengawas. Masa tu jadi pengawas kantin saja sebab tolong jaga kantin masa budak-budak darjah 1 sampai 3 rehat. Bila dah naik darjah 4, aku dan beberapa kawan lain lagi dapat masuk kelas Mawar hinggalah darjah 6. Semasa di tahun 6, aku dilantik jadi ketua pengawas dengan Cik Ibtisam sebagai penolong. Masa tu taktau pun nak buat apa. Cikgu lantik jadi ketua, aku pun terima. Lucu kalau diingatkan kembali. Sepanjang tempoh aku jadi pengawas, cuma sekali saja aku pernah berada di pentas utama.Itupun sekadar membaca doa. Selalunya aku hanya menaikkan bendera. Mudah :)
Tahun 4 Mawar. Which one is me?
Masa di sekolah rendah jugak, awalnya aku tak sertai kelas Quran Tajwid (KAFA) pada waktu petang sebab nak tengok Gaban, Cyber Cop dan cerita superhero yang lain di kaca TV. Tambahan pulak, di rumah pun tok memang dah sedia ajar Al-Quran pun. Siap menangis-nangis lagi takmau baca masa tu. Entah la, sebab apa pun tak pasti. Aku ingat lagi, hari pertama aku di kelas KAFA tu ialah hari terakhir kelas tersebut sebelum cuti raya puasa. Masa tu baru darjah 3. In fact, satu-satunya sebab aku join kelas tu adalah untuk dapat duit raya!!! Aduhai...kanak-kanak sungguh masa ni. Namun lepas tu aku terus menerus pergi ke kelas KAFA setiap petang. Di sana aku kira aku mula belajar menjadi imam. Sebelum aku masuk, kawan aku si Hafizuddin yang selalu menjadi imam bila tiba giliran tahun kami solat. Tapi selepas tu, selalunya aku akan disuruh bergilir-gilir untuk menjadi imam. Semuanya gara-gara ada beberapa ustazah yang rapat dengan arwah tok. Cucu orang terkenal jugak barangkali aku ni. :P
Waktu keputusan UPSR diumumkan, aku hanya dapat 4A 1B. Sains dapat B! (entah macam mana sekarang ni ambik medic pulak kn? O.o) Mama memang dari awal-awal lagi plan nak hantar aku ke sekolah agama. Asas penting katanya. Lepas tu nak ambik apa pun ambiklah. Aku hanya apply ke dua sekolah saja. Maktab Mahmud dan Agama Kedah. Alhamdulillah aku dapat kedua-duanya. Mama prefer aku masuk asrama sebab katanya nanti boleh belajar berdikari sebab kalau masuk Maktab Mahmud aku tak dapat duduk asrama lantaran jarak rumah yang dekat dengan sekolah. So, tanpa berfikir panjang aku pun ikut sajalah cakap mama dan masuk ke SMKA Kedah. First time masuk asrama sedih jugak. Tapi sebagai seorang lelaki yang tabah, aku tak la pulak menangis-nangis ^^. Cool saja babe.
Sejak masuk sini aku kenal dengan dunia baru tanpa keluarga. Kebanyakan aktiviti semuanya dengan kawan-kawan. Hujung minggu saja selalunya mama dan baba datang melawat. Aku jarang outing masa di tingkatan satu tapi bila sampai di tingkatan 3, aku bukan sahaja selalu outing tapi siap buat extra outing lagi malam-malam. :P Masa tu ketagihan main counter strike dan nasik lemak 5 kupang (50 sen). Akhirnya kena sebat apabila kantoi dalam beberapa minggu sebelum PMR. (adik-adik yang baca blog ni jangan ikut ye perangai busuk ni!) Alhamdulillah la PMR semua lulus cemerlang. All A. ^__^

Tahun 2003 pertama kali aku betul-betul berjauhan dengan keluarga. Tapi kali ini hanya di Perlis. Sejam lebih perjalanan dari rumah di Langgar. MRSM Beseri banyak mendidik aku menjadi manusia yang lebih bertanggungjawab. Aku dilantik jadi LDP (pengawas) lepas tewas pilihanraya (kempen bosan sangat, mananya nak menang kan!). Sewaktu di MRSM aku ditakdirkan oleh Allah untuk berjumpa kawan-kawan yang tak ubah dengan kawan-kawan lama aku di SMKAK. Kelas kami adalah antara yang paling senyap dan tak proaktif. Semuanya konon-konon segan-segan (malu) dengan perempuan. Tak ubah macam kelas di sekolah agama. Sampailah hampir-hampir SPM, baru la semua macam lebih "terbuka". SPM alhamdulillah, batch 19 MRSM Beseri telah berjaya mendapatkan tempat pertama di Malaysia. Kenangan di Beseri lebih kepada pencapaian dalam pelajaran aku kira. Sungguh aku rindui saat mendapat semula kertas-kertas peperiksaan yang tak terlalu banyak bertanda dengan pen merah dan markah tinggi-tinggi. ^___^. Namun sebagai manusia aku sedar yang ada kalanya kita di bawah dan ada masanya kita di atas. Sekarang mungkin waktu-waktu aku berada di kawasan bawah dalam roda kehidupan setelah puas mengecapi saat-saat berada di atas. Tapi itu tak bermaksud saat berada di atas itu akan hilang selama-lamanya kn? :)
LDP Batch 19 MRSM Beseri
Sementara menunggu keputusan SPM, aku bekerja sebagai juruwang untuk sebuah syarikat pembekal alat-alat tulis di Alor Setar. Pengalaman pertama aku bekerja. Lepas tu aku ditawarkan ke Kolej Mara Banting selepas puas berhempas pulas menggunakan Bahasa Inggeris menjawab soalan semasa sesi temu duga dengan pegawai MARA. Sebuah kolej yang tak pernah aku ketahui langsung! Mujurlah rupa-rupanya ada saudara aku yang anaknya pernah bersekolah di sana. Arwah Pak Chaq Yin yang tolong temankan baba untuk hantar aku ke sana. Anak arwah iaitu Abang Husnee dan isterinya adalah antara generasi terawal di KMB. Jadi mudah lah sikit nak cari jalan ke kolej mara banting tu. KMB aku kira adalah antara tempat terawal yang mengenalkan aku dengan "dunia sebenar". Aku boleh kira macam agak culture shock jugak awal-awal tu bila masuk ke sana. Bentuk-bentuk pergaulan yang tak pernah aku lalui dalam hidup aku kini menjadi macam satu kebiasaan di sana.
M05Q
Bukan apapun sebenarnya, cuma bergaul lelaki dan perempuan dalam kelas dan aktiviti yang mendesak sahaja. Sebab itu jugaklah aku rasa aku bertemu dengan pengalaman yang sangat berharga di kolej ni. Aku pertama kali jatuh cinta secara serius di sini walaupun nampaknya indah khabar dari rupa. Bukan rezeki aku, apa yang dirancang tak menjadi kenyataan. Mujurlah aku dapat bangun semula selepas tragedi tersebut. Itulah kali pertama aku kira aku dapat lihat kebenaran bila orang kata kalau putus cinta kadangkala pelajaran pun entah ke mana. Disebalik segala kesukaran di KMB, aku berjaya dengan nyawa-nyawa ikan untuk menempatkan diri aku di RCSI, Ireland. Sungguh bersyukur aku bila dapat tahu aku terpilih untuk ditemuduga ke RCSI. Terima kasih kepada Asma', Jannah, Izzah dan lain-lain yang tolong editkan essay aku untuk permohonan ke RCSI tempoh hari. Kalau korang semua tak tolong, entah di mana aku sekarang ni. Thanks a million lads. Saat keputusan temu duga keluar juga aku rasa antara saat yang tak dapat aku lupakan. Subhanallah.
30 September 2007, tarikh keramat aku menjejakkan kaki di bumi asing ini untuk terus menyambung sebuah episod perjuangan yang belum selesai. Hinggalah saat ini, masih jauh perjalanan yang perlu aku lalui sebelum aku kira aku boleh selesa dengan pencapaian aku. Semoga diri ini terus kekal tabah dan bersemangat.
Itulah sedikit sebanyak tentang sejarah hidup aku. Banyak perkara yang berlaku sepanjang 22 tahun ini. Setiap satunya ada singnifikasi tersendiri. Mengajar dan mendidik aku menjadiseorang manusia dan mudah-mudahan mendekatkan aku dengan-NYA. Makin banyak berjalan (makin lama hidup) makin banyak perkara kita belajar. Semoga semua yang berlaku dalam diari hidup aku, dapat aku ambil sebagai pengajaran dan dijadikan iktibar. Semoga korang semua pun dapat mengambil sedikit sebanyak pengajaran insyaAllah.
Ucapan Hari Lahir
Kepada mama dan baba yang dirindui serta adik-adik tersayang, terima kasih yang tak terhingga Along ucapkan atas dorongan yang tak pernah putus-putus walau dalam apa jua keadaan sekalipun. Along mintak maaf sebab tak dapat nak beraya di Malaysia tahun ni. InsyaAllah tahun depan kalau ada rezeki kita beraya sekali. Terima kasih diucapkan kepada semua kaum keluarga yang terus menerus memberikan sokongan dalam meneruskan perjuangan yang penuh cabaran ni.
Suatu pagi di hari raya
Kepada rakan-rakan yang sentiasa mendoakan kesejahteraan dan sentiasa memberi sokongan, terima kasih aku ucapkan. Tanpa kalian, aku tak mungkin aku macam sekarang sebab sejak aku 13 tahun lagi aku spend lebih banyak masa dengan korang semua berbanding keluarga sendiri. Kehadiran kalian walau untuk jangka masa yang sangat singkat dalam hidup ini sangat aku hargai. Semoga Allah kurniakan yang terbaik untuk kalian semua di dunia dan akhirat dan juga semoga kita sama-sama berubah menjadi lebih baik bersempena bulan Ramadan yang mulia ni.
Ekstra
Syukur pagi tadi aku dapat berita yang aku lulus peperiksaan yang baru aku duduki lebih kurang dua minggu yang lalu. Dapatlah naik ke tahun ke 3 perubatan di RCSI ni. Sesungguhnya inilah antara hadiah hari jadi yang paling manis pernah aku terima. ^____^
Pengajaran besar aku dapat lepas gagal dalam satu subjek tempoh hari. Semoga lepas ni aku lebih gigih dan tak lagi main-main. (aku sedang cuba sedaya upaya untuk tak main DOTA lagi dan kalau boleh nak kurangkan masa di depan komputer ni) Tekanan sungguh besar bila masa depan menjadi pertaruhan. Semoga hal macam ni tak lagi berulang di masa hadapan.
Akhir kata, selamat berpuasa dibulan Ramadan yang mulia ini dan selamat beribadah serta selamat hari raya (tak awal sangat ka? ^_^). Semoga ramadan ini mampu merubah kita menjadi individu yang lebih baik insyaAllah.Wassalam.
Ikhlas,

Any action will be taken at all? Oh lupa, ini bukan politik pnya sebab, so x perlu tindakan. X payah tahan siapa2.

This happened to me yesterday when i was waiting for iftar. it was 8.25pm, 2 minutes before the iftar (base on the dayless calendar and my watch that i refered to assuming that yesterday is 29/08/09) and i was sitting alone (besides the manager and the kakak kaunter) inside the shop. i looked at my watch while eagerly waiting for the food to be served. then i asked the manager for the time of iftar just so to confirm that it is 8.27pm. then he said "its 8.30 today brother". what? i thought it was yesterday, on the 28th of august. i look at my watch again and clearly i can see number 29 there.
I wonder if it was the date on my watch is wrong or the manager just lost track of the date. As my mind wondered to find any significant event that happened lately, i suddenly remembered that hadi told me last week that he is going to go back to Malaysia on 28th. it was early yesterday morning (the day this incident happen) that hadi took a cab and went to the airport. So, it means that my watch shows a wrong date!!?? no way! i never set my watch like weeks ago and at that time, its still okay. Nothing wrong. Anyhow, i decided to just follow the 8.30 time and had my iftar meal. Just some burger meal if u wonder what do i ate over there ^.^
As i got home, i checked with the computer calendar and NO... it is 28! not 29. how come my watch said 29? i tried to re-set the date on my watch before realized something. To change the date, u have to turn the button at the side twice. if u turn the button at side once only, it wont move to the next date, the same thing goes with turning the date back. so, i guess my watch is actually somewhere like 12 hours early. At the time that it indicates 8.30pm, it maybe actually indicates 8.30am the next day, that why it shows 29th, not 28! lol. And the prove is that now at the moment where it is about 12pm in Dublin, the date was about to change to 30 where it suppose to shows 29. I never realized this before. Silly me. ^.^
thinking again, it is true that for the analog watch, the hourly indicator need to goes around twice before the date add up. in addition, it doesnt tell us whether it is am or pm. so, if your analog watch indicate 11.30 at the moment, u might wanna ask whether it is am or pm. maybe i mistakenly set my watch when i took the flight from malaysia to Dublin. haha.
Take home message:
1. Dont rely too much on your watch. it maybe dead or set at a wrong time before u notice it. especially the analog.
2. keep track of the day even if u are 22 hours/day inside your room.
3. Dont break your fast before its time. :D
4. If u cannot understand what am i writing above, feel free to ask coz with the grammar and everthing, i might confuse u more than u can imagine. O.o

Assalamualaikum and selamat pagi semua,
Sempena bulan Ramadan yang mulia ni, saya nak kongsi sedikit ilmu memasak/bancuh air. ^^
Hari ni jom kita belajar cara-cara membuat manggo lassi. Mudah saja sebenarnya. Jauh lebih jimat dari beli di Medina atau Kebabish. dengan hanya berbekalkan 4 euro, anda telah boleh membancuh 1 jug besar manggo lassi. Di Kebabish Original, satu jug besar berharga 7 euro. itupun harga hingga 31 ogos ni saja. Kedai baru... :)
Mari kita lihat bahan-bahannya.
1. Jus mangga (manggo) yang pekat. Saya cadangkan anda beli jus magga Enjoy. 1.95 euro
2. Satu bekas kecil yogurt segar. 2 euro. Boleh didapati dengan mudah di Dunnes ataupun Tesco (bagi yang tak boikot) :p
3. gula? sebolehnya yang sudah dicairkan.
Cara-cara membuatnya:
1. masukkan bahan 1 dan 2 dalam pengisar yang dah dibasuh terlebih dahulu serta bebas dari bau-bauan cabai, bawang, halia dan lain-lain. haha
2. Putarkan sehingga campuran sebati.
3. Masukkan bahan 3 bagi penggemar gula. (sebenarnya tak diperlukan langsung sebab jus mangga manis banget!)
4. Sedia untuk dihidang.
Gambar hiasan
Ulasan:
A. Campuran 1 dan 2 dimasukkan mengikut citarasa sendiri. Kalau rasa kurang rasa mangga, lebihkan jus dari yougurt. Untuk lebih sedap, anda boleh masukkan soda, mangga sebenar dan lain-lain. Anda juga boleh putarkan sekali ketulan kecil ais bersama-sama campuran bahan 1 dan 2.
B. Sesungguhnya yang lebih penting untuk membancuh manggo lassi adalah kerajinan...sebab kalau malas nak membeli semua bahan-bahan dia atas (konon macam banyak), tak jadi jugak...
Selamat mencuba... :D
Selamat berpuasa dan beramal ibadah

Engagement
8/10/2009 01:03:00 AM
Good morning and Peace be upon everyone,
Intriguing is it the title for this time? ^^
just would like to bring the attention of everyone to this topic since this summer i found out that a few of my friends already gone thru this process of engagement. not to mention, a few that already tied the knot. Praise to Allah SWT for making their dua' approved. May their marriage last as long as they still breath the air of the earth. Those in turn at the moment, i pray that u guys also got the best of the marriage and be bestowed by Allah SWT with HIS blessing.
credit to www.maliere.ie
1st case.
Here is the thing. from my understanding, the actual engagement is suppose to be the taa'ruf (get to know the fiancee aka future husband/wife) and it is should be as low profile (forgive me for the lack of vocabs here) as possible. The only people that should know is the family i suppose. The ring that a girl wear is only a sign that she is no longer available at the moment since someone is seriously considering to make her their future life partner and they are in a process of getting to know each other better. So, in case of anything unexpected suddenly happen during the engagement process and the couple find that they are not suitable for each other, it is permissable to break the engagement (with full of respect). So, since 'no one knows' about the engagement, it suppose not to cause any humiliation for any of the parties.
2nd case.
On the other hand, what is widely practice knowadays is totally different from my understanding. Engagement for most people is a step closer to tie the knot. Somehow it is no longer a process of getting-to-know-your-fiancee since it is futher preceded with the taa'ruf which had been lasting probably for years. Getting engage is almost as a certain promise of 'i will make u my lifelong partner and not going to re-consider it anymore since i already know you' (for perhaps years). The only thing that cohere with the classic engagement is the engagement ring. Letting the public know that they engaged somehow for me is totally their call [Considering that they have calculate all the probability of a disaster along the way]. about the grand engagement function etc. leave it for the moment as that can be just a way to announce the process.
............................................................................................................................
Here are the few thing that i find quite, amusing maybe for some of us and me especially.
1. What are the odd of someone who u dont really know to propose and get to know u more during the engagement if this is the case? -refer to the 2nd case- If your excuse always been 'i dont know u. so, how am i gonna get married with u' and u reject him straight away, how the heck is the first case ever gonna happen? (i thought this is when the engagement plays it roles and allow both the fiancee to know each other.)
2. I find it rather difficult to find classic example of engagement in actual practice since people tend to choose the 2nd option which assuming that the engagement is a little step away from becoming husband and wife. Thinking again, it is actually true because in both cases (1 and 2) it is a little step away from marriage but in the 1st case, u have the choice to take a step back and not harming (humiliating) anyone unlike the 2nd one which i think might cause a lot of humuliation for the girl since public is well aware of her status. How about u guys or is it really outdated and not suitable for the moment that we are living now?
3. A guy may manipulate the opportunity on a girl during the engagement as he can withdraw at any moment he want. This may be true. Unfortunately, this is totally depends on the seriousness of the proposal. This then goes back to the responsibility of the proposer as a human being to take full responsibility on his/her action. It should also be difficult for a guy/girl to propose and withdraw as many time as he/she wishes since the process involve family too. unless if the parents aren't responsible to0, this may happen in actual life. (O.o)
4. if u think u are traditional, why making fuss using middleman or whatever u wanna call it if your excuse would still be 'i dont know that guy/girl and i dont like him/her'? Why cant u decide only later after u got engage (exclusively for the classic example so that no one got humiliated)? *.*
5. Is it necessary for one who got the proposal ask his/her friends about the proposer? i guess no way one can resist the curiosity of getting to know others especially the one that come out with the proposal. ^^
footnote:
1. this is my first entry using chrome from google. cool browser but i dont find the marker for wrong spelling yet, so sorry if lots of typos here.
2. i though that buried deep the cut months ago. unfortunately it surfaced naturally when looking at those who got engaged recently. Im happy for you guys but at the same time it bleeds inside. silently.
3. Am listening to latest Black Eyed Peas album E.N.D. may this too finally signal the end of bloody helplessness tragedy. lalalalalala. getting high at 2.30 am. WTH!!!
4. Just got email from smart telecom about getting flagged coz unfortunately downloaded lots of crap movie recently. lol
5. This is not an entry to say anyone wrong or right, but totally based on my curiosity since i maybe a little traditional. o.O perhaps it may also help me to follow the right path as shown by the prophet Muhammad PBUH.
6. Someone told me this evening that Rasullullah left Muaz bin Jabal RA a dua' which he ask Muaz to always practice it (more or less). here how it sounds, 'Allahumma inni a'la zikrika, wa shukrika, wahusnil ibadatik.' Sound familiar rite? but do u know the story behind this word from Rasulullah?

i give you an article plus a few pics and you make your own judgement.
Perhimpunan berjaya dihalang
Oleh wan noor hayati wan alias, tan ming wai dan ashriq fahmy ahmad
KUALA LUMPUR 1 Ogos - Langkah awal polis mengadakan sekatan di setiap pintu masuk ke ibu negara berjaya menghalang perhimpunan membantah Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (ISA) yang dirancang berlangsung hari ini.
Tindakan pihak polis 'membendung' kemasukan penyokong Gabungan Mansuhkan ISA (GMI) itu menggagalkan cubaan kumpulan tersebut untuk berkumpul dan berarak ke Istana Negara bagi menyerahkan memorandum.
Sekatan polis bermula sejak pukul 12 tengah malam tadi.
Walaupun 100,000 penyokong disasarkan menyertai perhimpunan haram itu, hanya lebih 5,000 orang menghadirinya.
5000?
Mereka berhimpun di beberapa lokasi yang menjadi tumpuan orang ramai pada hujung minggu seperti pekarangan pusat beli-belah Sogo, Masjid Negara, Dataran Merdeka, stesen LRT Masjid Jamek dan Pasar Seni.
Tindakan kumpulan terbabit tidak mengendahkan larangan pihak berkuasa daripada berhimpun bukan sahaja menyebabkan kesesakan lalu lintas yang teruk di pusat bandar bahkan menyusahkan orang ramai yang ingin membeli-belah di sekitar kawasan berkenaan.
Beberapa premis perniagaan termasuk pusat beli-belah Sogo dan Kompleks Pertama terpaksa ditutup bagi mengelak kejadian tidak diingini ekoran kedegilan mereka.
Ketua Polis Kuala Lumpur, Datuk Muhammad Sabtu Osman berkata, pihaknya terpaksa melepaskan gas pemedih mata, bom asap dan semburan air ke arah penyokong setelah mereka enggan bersurai.
"Kami mohon maaf atas kesulitan orang ramai. Ini bukan yang dirancang pihak polis tetapi direncanakan pihak-pihak tertentu sehingga menyebabkan kesesakan lalu lintas dan menyusahkan banyak pihak," katanya pada sidang akhbar di Ibu Pejabat Polis Kontinjen (IPK) Kuala Lumpur di sini hari ini.
Tinjauan Mingguan Malaysia mendapati perhimpunan haram itu turut disertai pelajar dan pemimpin pembangkang.
Kehadiran ribuan anggota polis termasuk anggota Unit Simpanan Persekutuan (FRU) yang berkawal di semua lokasi perhimpunan bagaimanapun berjaya mengekang perarakan kumpulan tersebut ke Istana Negara.
Sehingga pukul 6 petang, masih terdapat penyokong yang berkumpul di Sogo menyebabkan polis terpaksa menahan mereka yang enggan bersurai. Seramai 589 orang ditahan dalam perhimpunan itu.
Pakatan pembangkang dalam sidang akhbar di ibu pejabat Pas petang ini mendakwa perhimpunan itu berjaya mencapai matlamatnya. Bagaimanapun, mereka difahamkan gagal menyerahkan memorandum ke Istana Negara.
Sementara itu, perhimpunan menyokong ISA anjuran Majlis Permuafakatan Ummah (Perwaris) dan Pertubuhan Pribumi Perkasa Malaysia (Perkasa) yang juga dijadualkan hari ini, dibatalkan atas arahan polis.
Penasihat Undang-undang Majlis Gabungan NGO Pembela Negara, Khairul Azamdin berkata, pihaknya akur dengan arahan pihak berkuasa tetapi berjaya menyerahkan memorandum kepada Istana Negara melalui seorang wakilnya petang ini.
Sebelum itu, seramai 2,000 penyokong Perwaris dan Perkasa berhimpun di Padang Merbok sebelum berarak ke Dataran Merdeka dan Pasar Seni.

there are lots of videos which you can find especially on youtube about the rally.
its not that i'm totally agree with it but somehow in a democratic country, i think the people should have some space to voice out their thought. why dont the police just control the situation and make sure that the rally run smooth instead of hurting the protestor?
i joined a rally here in Dublin last year but somehow it seems totally different that we had in Malaysia. they even gave us a space to pray on the street? why couldn't our police do that?
i had to put this video coz it involves the whole lot of family of a junior of mine in MRSM Beseri who's in germany at the moment.
i pray that all his family will be released soon.
