TURKI : Part 1 (A)

Assalamualaikum,

Hai uollss.Maaf, dah lama tak update blog. Lately, agak sibuk sikit dengan assignment dan beberapa program luar. Memandangkan aku sekarang pun dah semester 6 iaitu semester akhir, makanya sibuk dan penatnya mashaAllah..kadang-kadang tersandar di kerusi sesaat, terbang roh 5 jam baru tersedar aku tertidur depan laptop.Lagi parah bila ada 'peta' negara baru benua Asia Tenggara tercipta pada nota-nota aku.. Dalam tidur pun aku masih mampu menghasilkan seni..Hebatkan. Kekeke..

Tapi sesibuk mana pun aku dengan pelajaran di UPSI..Alhamdulillah, Aku rasa bersyukur sangat kerana diberi peluang untuk menjejakkan kaki ke Turki..Untuk menuntut ilmu luar daripada 'bilik darjah'.. Satu negara yang tak pernah aku terfikir  yang aku akan pergi.. 

Trip yang selama 12 hari ni, memang sangat aku hargai dan syukuri.Aku tahu, ramai kawan aku yang teringin juga nak sampai ke negara ini. Harap jangan la hangpa jeles dengan ceq naa. kehkeh. InsyaAllah, aku doakan kalian juga akan berjaya ke sini kelak. Doa dan terus berdoa. Aku pun doa supaya aku dijemput kembali oleh Allah untuk ke Turki kali yang ke dua.. Huu.. Rasa tak puas mengembara di bumi para anbiya tempoh hari ..

Okay, first of all..Aku perkenalkan tourist guide aku yang kacak lagi bergaya..wakaka.. Beliau ni adalah owner kepada syarikatnya iaitu Dilruba Turki Travel. Pada awalnya,  tourist guide kami bernama Ibrahim (turkish), tetapi kami diberitahu oleh Mr.Yusuf bahawa Ibrahim tidak dapat kembali ke Turki dalam masa terdekat kerana Ibrahim akan berkhawin dengan gadis dari Malaysia. (Gadis itu dikenalinya semasa menjadi tourist guide pada group sebelum kami.Alhamdulillah..Jodoh tak mengenal negara.Hehe.) Jadinya, kumpulan kami sangat bertuah untuk mendapat Director Yusuf  yang penyabar dan baik hati sebagai pengganti.Alhamdulillah.. =)

Mr.Yusuf.. ada janggut, ikut sunnah.. Bagus.

Antara tempat-tempat yang kami lawati ialah Istanbul, Bursa, Afyon, Pamukkale, Beysheir, Cappadocia, Angkara,dan Bolu. Ahamdulillah. seronok bertingket-tingket..Setiap satu tempat ada  keistimewaan destinasi yang tersendiri.. 10 malam di Turki bagaikan berada di Syurga. Cewah.Propa je aku.

Ini antara tempat yang berpeluang kami lawati.

-Visit Ulu Mosque.

-Jumalikizik Ottoman Village(Afyon)

-Entry to Hieropolis Ancient City (pamukkale)

-Visit Mekke Kuran Isparta Tahfiz School (Beysheir)

-Entry to Esrefoglu  Mosque 730 years (Beysheir)

-Entry to Mevlana Museum (Konya)

-Tour of Urgup, Goreme, Uchisar (On the way to Cappadocia)

-Entry to Whirling Dervishes Show. 

-Riding Hot Air Ballon (Cappadocia)

-Entry to Carpet weaving workshop. (Cappadocia)

-Entry to Ceramic Workshop (Cappadocia)

-Visit the Malaysian Embassy  (Angkara)

-Visit Gelisim  University (Istanbul)

-Visit and Pray Solatul Jumaat at the Muhammad Al-Fateh Mosque (Istanbul)

-Entry and Pray Dzuhur at Blue Mosque (Istanbul)

-Entry to Topkapi Palace (Istanbul)

-Visit and Read Yassin at Ahmad Ammar Grave.

-Visit Sultan Al-Ayyubi Al-Ansari cemetery.

-Entry to Turki Miniarturk.

-Bosphorus Cruise (Istanbul).

-Shopping at Grand Bazaar. (Istanbul)

Alhamdulillah berkesempatan menunaikan solat Zuhur di Blue Mosque.

Dalam perjalanan ke Grand Bazaar..Shopping yuk! Indirim-indirim! Murah-murah!:P

Banyak tak? Seronok wa cakap lu.. hehe. Alhamdulillah.. banyak benda aku belajar.. Btw, kalau anda rasa tempat di atas dah banyak, belum lagi tempat makan..Makanan dia sedap.Tapi kalau tawar, terlebih tawar, kalau masin terlebih masin. Aku pun pelik.Tapi kadang-kadang yang tak sedap tulah yang sihat. Macam ubat..Siapa je suka makan ubat? Dah lah pahit..Tapi kalau tak makan, macam mana nak sembuh dari penyakit..betuk tak?

Eh cop .Walaupun makanan dia sedap.. Tapi tekak aku tekak orang Melayu.. Perghh, seminggu tak makan sambal, aku dah meroyan..Nasib baik mama, ada bekalkan sambal ikan bilis..Terubat sikit rindu dengan makanan pedas. Kat Turki makanan dia majoriti rasa harmoni. Susah nak cari makanan yang pedas. Kalau nak kata Turki atau Malaysia  yang layak untuk diitiraf sebagai syurga makanan. Aku rasa gelaran itu pastinya akan menjadi milik Malaysia. Malaysia tanah tumpah air liur ku..(??) Hee..

Plus, Ya Allah.. Turki sangat-sangat cantik..Kat mana je tempat yang aku jejakkan kaki, tandas dia tak pernah mengecewakan. Bersih sangat-sangat. Bilik air asrama aku dulu pun bersih waktu hujung minggu je. Itu pun lepas kene berleter dengan senior apesal junior tak basuh toilet..Kekeke..Kebersihan mereka sangat tip-top.Susah betul nak nampak sampah..InsyaAllah Malaysia akan maju seperti Turki satu hari nanti. Ameen.

Itulah serba sedikit tentang Trip aku ke Turki..Ini baru separuh mukaddimah.. InsyaAllah next entry ialah perkongsian tentang tempat-tempat bersejarah di Turki dan dapatan (ilmu) sepanjang pengembaraan aku di sana. Banyak aku nak kongsi dengan korang yang sudi singgah dan baca blog aku..Doalah supaya aku rajin untuk mengetuk papan kekunci ni k.. Lap u all..kekeke.

KEEP CALM AND LOVE ISLAM.

Thank you for  reading this entry.  =)

Part 1 : My USA Cousins

6 Disember 2014 (Sabtu)

Selepas pulang dari walimatu urus cikgu Anuar Hisham (ex-cikgu Sas).. mama beritahu nak jumpa cousins jauh mama , kat rumah mak induk .. Cousins mama ni menetap di USA, Dia ada urusan sikit di malaysia katanya. Itu yang  kembali pulang setelah hampir bertahun-tahun tidak menjejakkan kaki ke Malaysia. Kami panggil beliau 'along' sebab beliau merupakan anak sulung daripada enam orang adik beradik perempuan dalam keluarganya.

Sedihnya.. Aku, tak dapat ikut mama nak jumpa along hari ni, memandangkan aku ada program Gegas (Generasi Gadis Solehah) di Masjid Az-Zubbair Al-Awwam. Program ni berlangsung selama tiga iaitu bermula dari 5 hingga 7 Disember. Makanya, setelah mama pulang, aku hanya dapat mengenali saudara jauh itu melalui beberapa keping gambar yang dikongsi oleh ahli keluargaku di 'Whatsapp Family Haji Khamis'. Tidak banyak yang aku ketahui mengenai mereka ini..Sehinggalah esoknya..

7 Disember 2014 (Ahad)

Tepat pukul 6.15 pagi aku tiba di perkarangan rumah dari Masjid Az-Zubbair. Pada awalnya aku tak rancang untuk tidur di masjid, tetapi disebabkan ada perkara tententu  dan jam pula menunjukkan pukul 2 pagi, makanya aku tangguhkan niat untuk balik selepas solat subuh. Setibanya aku di rumah, aku dah rancang, dalam pukul 8 lebih nak gerak ke masjid semula memandangkan LDK akan bermula pada pukul 9 dan dalam pada masa yang sama "running man" (Mass) akan bermula pada pukul 11, serta ia memerlukan tenaga komiti untuk melancarkan pergerakkan aktiviti mass ini...

Tetapi.....Tiba-tiba, sedang aku berehat sekejap di bilik.. ada orang mengetuk pintu bilik aku..Tok..tok..tok..

'Ouh mama rupanya.."

Mama: "Adik, lepas ni ada nak kemana-mana? Jom kita bawak along and family jalan-jalan?"

Anis   : Along? Siapa along tu sebenarnya maa?

Mama : Mak along ni adik beradik tiri awe(nenek), dan kahwin dengan anak tiri awe...

Anis: APA?? *blurrr* Ulang maaa?? I kenot brainnnnn -____-''

Mama :Mak along ni a d i k  b e r a d i k  t i r i awe(nenek), dan kahwin dengan a n a k t i r i awe... Tambahan, dia sepupu mama dan boleh jugak dia tu makcik mama...

Anis: Hah? Seriouly?? Wow wow..MashaAllah mother...macam keluarga 69 daaa.. kecilnya dunia...

Mama: Jom lah.. Along ada 2 anak lelaki,  dia kahwin dengan mat saleh.. Adik boleh prektis english bila borak2 dengan mereka.

Anis: Amboi maa, perli ehh.. siap suruh prektis bagai.. Ingat english adik Fail ke..kekeke..

Maka, dengan itu aku pun terfikir... Mungkin jika bukan sekarang, aku tak akan dapat peluang sebegini lagi.. Pepatah ada mengatakan..

"Take a chance because you never know how perfect something might turn out."

Aku pun bersetuju untuk teman mama bawak mereka jalan-jalan di sekitar bandaraya Kuala Lumpur. Ketika breakfast, rasa kekok masih lagi mencengkam jiwa.. Tapi, aku cuba jugak untuk tampak selamba dengan terus tersenyum.. Supaya lebih tenang..

Meet Friedman's family!

Wanita manis yang  bertudung coklat itulah along a.k.a Siti Nuriati.  The man with blue shirt is David Friedman, along's husband. Yang lelaki sebelah saya, namanya Benjamin, Lelaki kecil comel di hadapan saya ialah Yusuf. Not to forget, the beautiful women besides me is my mom. Benjy is 13 years old while Yusuf is only 5!

Pada awal pertemuan,Seriously, I have no idea what to talk.. Macam krik-krik pun ada jugak.. Nasib baiklah along banyak cakap.. Meriah jugak lah suasana.. Ahaha, dalam pada aku mendengar cerita along, otak ni ligat jugak berfikir ..Apalah yang aku nak borak dengan David, Benjamin, and Yusuf...Mama dengan along dah macam masuk dalam dunia mereka sendiri.. wahaha.. Jejak kasih lah katakan..

Hmmm..

Borak punya borak.. rupanya Benjy ni Melaka boy.. Yes,He was born in Melaka..Tanah tumpah kampungku..His hobby is 'menggodek-godek' software.. Kepala IT lah kiranya.. Adiknya Yusuf was born in USA. Both of them are home-schooling. Their parents are their teachers. SubhannAllah.. May Allah bless their family with happiness and His blessings.


Banyak lagi yang dituliskan sebenarnya, tapi sekarang jam menunjukkan pukul 3.55 pagi (091214). Esok aku ada kelas Public Speaking di UPSI. Kena balik Tanjung Malim. InsyaAllah ada masa, aku sambung lagi...

Thank you for reading this entry. :)

 Anda mampu melakukannya. Allah kan ada. =)

GUNUNG KINABALU: PART I

Assalamualaikum.

Hai uolss. Entry kali ini khas tentang trip ke Gunung Kinabalu. I know it is quite late. As it happened last year. Sudah 1 tahun 8 bulan  telah berlalu. Bak kata orang,, "Ahh cerita dah lapok, boleh flashh dalam mangkuk tandas dah." Errmm..its okay. Hangpa boleh exit kalau tak suka. Ehhh, tapi sambung je la baca eh. Please jangan exit.. T_T  Entry kali ni lebih khusus for the begginers. Mesti ramai nak tahu kann tips untuk panjat gunung..Apa yang patut dibawa? Berapa galen air diperlukan kat atas gunung? Agak-agak berapa tahun nak warm up? Beras berapa kilo nak bawak? Errmm..(please ckp korang nak tau, jangan bagi saya malu sorang-sorang. hahaha)..

Lately, Saya perasan memang ramai yang dah mula berjinak-jinak dengan dunia pendakian ni. Walaupun tak ramai, tapi saya amatlah gembira bila tengok insan-insan ni punya minat yang sama macam saya. Bila dah dapat jumpa yang satu kepala, Nak sharing story taklah rasa serba salah sangat. Yela mana tahu kalau share pada yang berbeza minat takut nanti dikatakan  sombong, riak, takbur. Macamlah  saya tak kenal orang-orang kita ni macam mana.Pantang orang lain lebih sikit, terus melatah. kehkeh..
Saya pun pada awalnya bukanlah seorang pendaki tegar.Pengalaman pertama saya mendaki gunung ialah Gunung Datuk. Waktu tu, umur pun baru 14 tahun. Nah.. Small small chillies la kata kan. Badan je kecil, tapi jiwa wa kental beb. My second trip was Banjaran Titiwangsa. Time tu saya join program kembara anjuran sekolah mama. (Sekolah Sultan Alam Shah, Putrajaya). Mama seorang guru Geografi, dan fakta mengatakan guru-guru yang mengajar subjek tersebut pasti seorang yang suka mengembara. Oh yup. I couldn't agree more. Dan daripada mama jugak lah saya mula terjebak dengan aktiviti outdoors. wakaka. Contohnya, mountain climbing, hiking, caving, travelling, camping, dan banyak lagi. Terima kasih kepada mama dan sekolah beliau for all the experiences I gained. 


For beginner yang baru nak terjebak dalam dunia penuh cabaran ini. I'm not a motivator apatah lagi seorang yang patut dijadikan panduan untuk mengharungi liku-liku kehidupan. Tapi ambil lah apa-apa ilmu yang akak share ini kalau korang rasa ianya berguna. Akak tulis berdasarkan pengalaman akak, kalau ada yang tak setuju, pergi tulis pengalaman ko kat blog ko ok. Jangan nak kondem pengalaman aku ye. Belum apa-apa dah emo apa kes kak anis? Bahahaha

 Masuk langkah kaki kanan. Kalau terlangkah kaki kiri. Gostan!

TIPS SEBELUM MENDAKI GUNUNG KINABALU

1. Persiapkan diri dengan latihan fizikal dan mental.

Untuk latihan stamina, korang digalakkan supaya buat latihan jogging setiap petang. Sebolehnya pada bulan yang pertama, 3 kali seminggu. Kalau tak berapa suka jogging, buat aktiviti berbasikal atau pun berjalan. Ataupun aktiviti yang melibatkan pergerakkan seluruh tubuh badan terutamanya KAKI. Dan masa yang diambil mesti lah lebih daripada berjogging. Ini untuk memastikan stamina sewaktu mendaki nanti berada pada tahap yang bagus. Kalau takda masa nak jogging, sebab sibuk dengan kerja. Amalkan menaiki tangga instead of naik lif. Kalau rajin sikit, buatlah naik turun tangga 5 kali pun bagus jugak sebelum masuk office. 

2. Kawal pemakanan 

Pengambilan makanan sangat perlu dititikberatkan sebelum mendaki. As for me, I prefer to take extra protein (seafood, ayam, etc) a month before the date(mendaki). Protein akan membantu untuk membina sel-sel otot dalam badan. Jadinya, bila exercise sel-sel otot akan mula tumbuh dan tumbuh lagi, maka baguslah begitu. (Erk, tumbuh ke?).Plus,tulang pun akan semakin kuat. Seterusnya, kurang kan pengambilan makanan yang tidak berkhasiat seperti jajan, dan air bikarbonat.

3. Siapkan peralatan mendaki 

a) Baju Sejuk Waterprof (TEBAL). Jangan guna sweater.
b) Glove Waterprof. Jika guna glove yang kain risau nanti pegangan tidak kukuh. Jika hujan, tali yang dipegang akan basah. Ini akan menyukarkan pergerakkan.

c) Baju Hujan (Rain Coat)- Beli yang berkualiti, jangan beli yang terlalu murah takut mudah koyak. ( Kinabalu kerap hujan)
d) Head Lamp- Gunakan bateri baru. (Sediakan bateri extra)
e) Sleeping Bag Nipis. (Bagi yang tak tahan sejuk) Cuaca kat atas sangat sejuk!
f) Tongkat- Beli tongkat boleh laras kat kedai outdoor sekitar Rm20-Rm30. Ataupun anda boleh sewa tongkat besi ni masa hendak mendaki di pondok Guide.

g) Kasut mestilah yang ada grip. Kalau boleh beli yang tapak luas. As for me, I prefer Timberland punya brand. Kasut dia sangat tahan lasak dan sangat selesa.

Cari kasut yang tapak macam ni. InsyaAllah, Ada Grip lebih selamat.

 Ini tongkat boleh ejas. Panjang atau pendek, mengikut kehendak si pendaki.

4. Bina hubungan yang baik dengan ahli kumpulan

Bersikap ramah dengan ahli kumpulan. Kita kat tempat orang. We really need each other. Who knows, kalau time panjat tiba-tiba something bad happened. Kita boleh minta tolong mereka. Selain itu, boleh jadi kawan berborak sewaktu mendaki. Sejujurnya,kalau kita mendaki seorang diri (kot kot kene tinggal ke..He he)stress akan cepat menguasai diri. Kita akan selalu fikir. "Bila lah nak sampai..Rasa macam dah berjuta batu jalan..alahai lenguhnya...boleh tercabut urat kentut kalau macam ni". So, jika berteman sekurang-kurangnya bolehlah kurangkan rasa stress. Mungkin boleh berkongsi cerita sewaktu mendaki tu. Dalam masa yang sama, kita cari kawan baru. =)

Mereka semua sangat sporting! 

5. Berfikiran positif

Bare in mind yang kecerdasan setiap orang lain-lain. Tak semestinya orang yang mendaki paling awal akan sampai dulu dan orang yang mendaki lambat akan sampai paling akhir. Pabila mendaki, hang bukannya masuk pertandingan marathon. Buat apa nak compete dengan orang lain? Just have fun and enjoy the moment. Kalau korang rasa nak tangkap gambar, berhenti je. Tangkap gambar puas-puas sampai habis kodak pun boleh. Puncak tu tak lari kemana pun. Mungkin ini yang pertama dan terakhir korang panjat Gunung Kinabalu tu. Jadi, treasure the moment! jangan lah bila tengok orang jalan laju, korang pun rasa tercabar terus pecut tak bagi orang mendahului anda. Sejujurnya, anda orang yang paling rugi jika panjat gunung semata-mata sebab nak bertanding dengan orang lain (mendaki yang bukan pertandingan). Hayatilah keindahan alam. Berfikirlah tentang kekuasaan-Nya semasa mengembara. Anda akan terasa bertapa kerdil nya diri anda wahai Hamba Allah.

6. Bawa makanan yang boleh beri tenaga segera.

Apabila mendaki, kita pasti akan rasa cepat penat dan letih. Pendakian ke Laba Rata je dah mengambil masa lebih kurang 6 jam. (Laba rata ni ialah kawasan hotel untuk para pendaki, sebelum mendaki ke puncak pada hari seterusnya). Jadi, pastikan dalam beg anda ada makanan yang boleh memberi tenaga segera bila diperlukan.Contohnya, chocolate bar, gula-gula, energy bar,buah-buahan, roti, Daim dan lain-lain. Bawak lebih pun lagi bagus. Boleh kongsi dengan sesiapa yang mungkin memerlukan. Dapat pahala. Elakkan makan chewing gum. Nanti anda akan cepat rasa letih bila mengunyah dan berat mulut nak berborak. Huu. Rugiii kalau anda berat mulut, selalunya para pendaki bukan hanya orang Malaysia tapi serata dunia.. Adik-adik, bak kata nenek kak anis.Berkawan biar beribu, Berkasih hanya satu. Selagi engko ada peluang untuk berkawan, engko kawan lah dengan semua orang okay baby? 

To be honest, pernah ada beberapa kes dimana pendaki meninggal dunia ketika mendaki. Antara sebabnya ialah terjatuh dalam gaung, tidak cukup oksigen, tergolek sewaktu mendaki, ada tu terjatuh ketika sedang berdiri di puncak dan banyak lagi. Jadi, banyakkan berdoa supaya segala urusan sebelum, semasa, dan selepas mendaki dipermudahkan. Kita mendaki sebab nak tengok keindahan ciptaan-Nya. Maka harapnya dijauhkan lah daripada segala perkara yang berbahaya dan tak diingini.

Perkara yang sangat-sangat perlu ditekankan ialah bahagian kasut. Pastikan anda memakai kasut yang betul-betul sesuai! Especially beginners. Sebab, pengalaman saya sewaktu mendaki ke puncak pada pukul 2.00 pagi, ada dua orang Jepun ni dia give up untuk teruskan perjalanan. Sebabnya saya perasan, kasut yang mereka pakai ialah running shoes/ jogging shoes. Waktu tu, ialah part yang agak sukar jugak dimana, kami perlu menggunakan tali untuk mendaki. Boleh dikatakan angle nya dalam 70. Which means curam, dan tapak kasutnya tak sesuai dan mengakibatkan mereka terseliuh berkali kali dan akhirnya putus asa. To be frank, Gunung batu sangat licin. Sekali tersilap langkah, anda boleh jatuh ke dalam gaung .

Adventure! Kadang kala satu nafas hanya cukup untuk 4 atau 5 langkah kaki. 

Apa-apa pun, jangan fikir apa orang lain kata. Just trust yourself! You can do it. Jangan mudah putus asa. Anggap kat puncak tu korang nak jumpa Allah, sure berkobar kobar perasaan baq hang. Kalau penat, berehat. Tapi kalau anda mampu sampai ke puncak itu adalah satu pencapaian yang hebat. Tersenyumlah selebar lebarnya, kerana anda telah melakar kenangan indah dalam sejarah hidup anda yang tidak semua orang mampu melakukannya.

Ouh ya, Sijil akan diberi kepada setiap pendaki. Jika sampai di Laba Rata tetapi tidak meneruskan pendakian hingga ke puncak, maka atas sijil  akan ditulis di Laba Rata. Jika sampai di puncak, atas sijil akan ditulis sampai ke puncak. Sijil itu sebagai kenangan dan bukti usaha anda. Jadi, fikir-fikirlah berjuta kali sebelum berputus asa. 

Sematkan dalam fikiran, You are stronger than you think!You can get through this! "Getting to the top is optional, Getting  down is mandatory." =)

Rasanya cukup sampai sini je dulu. Tunggu Part II pulak naa.



Thank you for reading this entry. 

TAARE ZAMEEN PAR

Assalamualaikum.

First of all, terima kasih bebanyak sebab sudi click untuk baca blog ni. After almost few months tak update blog. Hari ni terasa begitu bersemangat nak tulis sesuatu. Ekceli, sejak dua menjak ni  memang ada keinginan untuk menulis and finally, hari ni aku rajin sikit dari hari-hari sebelum. (Hari ni rajin, esok lusa ntah kelaut) haha.

Entry kali ni aku nak share satu hindustani movie yang sangat banyakkk manfaatnyaaa bila di tonton. Tajuknya ialah TAARE ZAMEEN PAR. Kalau dalam bahasa Inggeris ialah LIKE STAR ON EARTH... Bukan The Fault In Our Star yee..Baca betul-betul. Buka mata luas-luas..Karang tersalah type. Jakgi keluar cerita Omputih jangan salahkan kak Anis.. iolss dah tunjukkan jalan yang lurus, suci lagi murni .. kekeke.

Filem ini dibintangi oleh beberapa bintang yang tak berapa dikenali.. (Sesuka hati je kan cakap org tak terkenal..ahaa). Antaranya ialah Aamir Khan (sebagai Ram Shanker Nikun), Darsheel Safary (sebagai Ishaan Awasthi), Tisca Chopra (sebagai Maya Awasthi/ ishaan's mom), Tanay Chheda (sebagai Rajan Damodaran/ ishaan's friend).

Kenapa Aamir Khan tak cukur misai diaaa? I cannot brain.. Aiyoyo.

Nak dijadikan cerita,

Movie ini berkisahkan tentang seorang kanak-kanak yang berbeza karakter daripada kawan-kawannya. Dia seorang yang pendiam dalam kelas, tak banyak bergaul, selalu lonely. Daripada satu sekolah ke satu sekolah dia pindah. But still having the same problem. Cikgu-cikgu selalu komplem pada parents si Ishaan ni.

"Anak awak malas belajar, selalu dapat nombor corot dalam kelas, dalam kelas tak bagi sepenuh perhatian dan sebagainya."

Erm..setelah dikaji..rupanya anak diaaa.. TETTT..

Siapa yang tahu problem anak dia? Cikgu dia, bukan ibu bapa nya! Haa, si Aamir Khan yang sado tu la. wakaka.  Agak-agak kenapa bukan mak ayah dia yang discover masalah anaknya? Nak tahu lebih lanjut..Tengoklah cerita ni...

Seriously, mana-mana parents yang dapat anak pendiam, galakkan mereka untuk beraktiviti supaya dapat membantu tumbesaran fizikal dan mental yang lebih sihat.Tapi bagi mereka yang mempunyai anak yang aktif, kalau anda rasa susah nak kawal sebab sangat ktif kesana kesini, panjat meja kerusi, jadi gergasi kecil, jadi hulk jadian.. Itu semua normal. Iolss dulu cuti sekolah duduk kampung kerja tangkap belalang, panjat pokok, masuk hutan tangkap ikan, jumpa biawak lagi dan sempat main mata dengan biawak tu tauu. Ini bukan biawak jadian, ini betul-betul. Ceq ketaqq lutott nyahh, kalau dia baham aku waktu tu, tak ke meroyan mak ayah (padahal panggil mama papa) aku kehilangan seorang puteri yang comel.. kekeke..

Kecil-kecil dulu asyik tawan pokok rambutan .. Bila dah besar, kerja aku tawan gunung je.wakaka.

Jadi, you as a parent should be happy that your children aktif. Sama seperti orang dewasa, punya minat beza-beza. Kanak-kanak pun serupa, cara mereka belajar pun berbeza antara satu sama lain. Kelebihan pun Allah kurniakan pada setiap individu berlainan. Jadi, selalu lah beri kata-kata positif supaya anak-anak tahu yang ibu bapa bukan hanya sebagai ibu bapa. Tetapi sebagai kawan yang anak-anak boleh kongsi masalah..Percayalah bahawa, "Every child is special."

To be honest, dalam movie ni aku terinspirasi dengan watak yang dipegang oleh Aamir Khan iaitu Ram Shanker. Ram Shanker ialah seorang guru ganti yang mengajar subjek seni di sekolah Ishaan.

A movie that really recommended !

"FAILURE IN SCHOOL DOES NOT MEAN FAILURE IN LIFE."

Kalau korang takda buat apa-apa. Jangan buang masa, tontonlah cerita ni. Banyak iktibar boleh dipelajari uolss.. Pandang diri sebagai seorang pendidik, sebagai seorang ibu atau ayah, atau pun sebagai seorang sahabat sekalipun.. Memang pelik kan, aku promote cerita hindustan, but aku tak boleh nafikan walaupun dah tengok cerita ni untuk kali yang kedua, air mata still tumpah mencurah-curah macam ais yang semakin mencair di kutub utagha tu. Just have a try. Aku jamin, lepas  dah tengok cerita ni, korang akan tercari-cari cerita lain keluar Aamir Khan Production. Sangat hebat Jalan cerita yang mereka buat. Banyak pengajaran.. Selamat menonton. InsyaAllah ada masa, update new entry lagi. Salam Maghrib. Assalamualaikum.

WE ARE NOT ORDINARY, WE ARE FANTASTIC

Hello there..This time I just wanna share about what I think about the lyrics/song up here and what I got from it..There are actually so many things that we can relate with.. For example..

LOVE?

HONESTY?

SINCERITY?

Ahh! Cinta,cinta, cinta.. Cliche sangat.. :P

"I remember where there is one Chinese proverb that sound like this... Untuk mengenal kebaikan seribu tahun pun belum tentu cukup..."

Meaning?

"Goodness is always coveted by the human heart. When they already feel the benefit, they want it more and more..Plus it would be better if the pros could let up for a thousand years"

But...

"To recognize the evil even a day is too long!

Why? 

"Manusia benci dan jemu kepada kejahatan. Satu hari untuk "merasakan" kejahatan dirasakan terlalu lama."

Hmm.. Ekceli what I try to say is about how we look to the people around us, how we communicate with them, how we react towards their action in daily life.. Jiran-jiran kita.. Kawan-kawan satu kelas.. Cikgu-Cekgi satu sekolah..Adik beradik.. Mak Ayah.. Tok cik belah ayah.. Nenek jiran belakang rumah.. Panda dalam Zoo. Eh.. 

Adakah kita pandang mereka secara positif? Ataupun sebaliknya? Ada sesetengah manusia ni pelik.. Sometimes,contoh di mana-mana bila ada orang tu bersedekah dengan jumlah yang banyak.Dikatanya riak,bongkak,takbur..Bila kecil jumlah sedekah dikatanya kedekut..dia tak tahu, mungkin org yg kurang sedekahnya itu baru sahaja membayarkan makanan untuk 100 orang gelandangan..Alahai.. Kita jenis yang mana? Tepuk dada tanya iman..

 Even Imam Al- Ghazali pun ada berpesan:

1. Jika berjumpa dengan kanak-kanak, anggaplah kanak-kanak itu lebih mulia daripada kita, kerana kanak-kanak ini belum banyak melakukan dosa daripada kita.

2. Apabila bertemu dengan orang tua, anggaplah dia lebih mulia daripada kita kerana dia sudah lama beribadat kepada Allah S.W.T berbanding kita.

3. Jika berjumpa dengan orang alim, anggaplah dia lebih mulia daripada kita kerana banyak ilmu yang telah mereka pelajari dan ketahui berbanding kita.

4. Apabila melihat orang jahil, anggaplah mereka lebih mulia daripada kita kerana mereka membuat dosa dalam kejahilan, sedangkan kita membuat dosa dalam keadaan kita mengetahuinya.

5. Jika melihat orang jahat, jangan anggap kita lebih mulia kerana mungkin satu hari nanti dia akan insaf dan bertaubat atas kesalahan yang telah mereka lakukan.

6. Apabila bertemu dengan orang kafir, katakan didalam hati bahawa mungkin pada suatu hari nanti mereka akan diberi hidayah oleh Allah S.W.T dan akan memeluk Islam, maka segala dosa mereka akan diampuni Allah... sedangkan kita?

DON'T JUDGE, OR JUST KEEP THE JUDGING TO YOURSELF.

Judging others does not define who they are, it defines who you are.Sometimes people are not what they seem to be. Never underestimate what a person can do, or can be. They may seem weak, but who knows, they can be stronger than you. They might be quiet, but they may come with the best ideas. So don't judge. Berbaik sangka, or as they say, husnuzzon. Train yourself to always see the good in people.

From here we can see that we can't judge because everyone struggles. Big or small, we all have our own battle. Today, we see people judging others "eee dia pakai tudung singkat", "euw dia mengaji salah tajweed", "apa lah tak reti reti ke nak join usrah". But what if, the one we judged tudung singkat just started wearing the hijab yesterday? What if, the person we judged salah tajweed, just started the quran yesterday. What if, the person we judged praying alone, is on istiadhah or something. Stop judging. If you can't, then help out. Judging, my dear, solves nothing.

Jadi dalam bersahabat janganlah pernah kita sesekali 'judge' orang ini, orang itu. Hidup ini adalah pilihan. You have the right to choose. Selagi kita ada peluang untuk memilih..Pilihlah sahabat yang baik. Yang kita pasti dapat bimbing kita dan sentiasa mengingatkan kita kepada Allah.. Malah, calon sahabat pun mestilah setanding dengan calon kereta pujaan. Cewah..Which means..kawan pun mestilah thorbaik jugak. Enjin mesti mantap, tayar mesti gempak, wiper mesti berfungsi, lampu mestilah benderang, and gear mesti cukup 5! Ehh. (Ekceli, My kancil max gear 4 only meyh.Mohon excuse.That car is already 17 y/o..Aherher~)   

Besides, I believe that many of us do not make wealth, looks and appearance as the must to find friends. Becoz for me..semua tu duniaa semata..rite?Plus as if..

I look at you and you remind me of Allah.. I will surely love you..

I be friend with you and you make my loves towards Ad-din become thicker.. I will definitely love you..

I get to know you and gain a lot of beneficial knowledge.. I will absolutely love you..

I become close to you and relationship between me and Allah get more closer instead.. 

beyond any doubt.. You are the best friend evaaaaa.. Wee~ 

InsyaAllah.. Let's pray for that to happen! 

But I know..I know that I do not have the guarantee for that .. As I am just a normal person same as you..

Makanya, kita hanya mampu berTawakal lah.. Doa kan 'senapang' kita.Makanya, tinggal nak 'tarik picu' jee..andddd..Bang! Bang! Kebaboom! Kehkeh..

I just can pray that you will accept me for who I am.. and I unequivocally will accept you in my life and we respect each other anddd live happily ever after.Hehehe...InshaAllah, semoga kita semua tergolong dalam golongan orang yang bermanfaat buat orang disekeliling kita dan menjadi insan yang sentiasa mendekatkan sahabat-sahabat kita kepada Allah dan Ad-Din..InshaAllah, Kita pasti boleh! We are not just ordinary, we are fantastic! ^_^

MARRY A GIRL WHO TRAVELS

She’s the one who doesn’t think twice about hair straighteners and curling irons. She’s content with her waves and braids and she definitely doesn’t spend hours in front of a mirror. It’s one less thing to not think about when she’s not planning her next day. While others are getting ready for the night, she’s off seizing the day.

You'll also recognize a girl who travels by the fact she always amazed at the world around her, no matter if she is in her home town or in a place that's totally new.She sees beauty all around her, not just the ones featured in the travel guides or shown in postcards.

A girl who travels has developed a deeper appreciation of life. She won't judge you, or pressure you to do things you don't want to do.She knows too much about the importance of identity and self-efficacy, and dhe will appreciate all the more if you won't pretend to be who you're not.

You can make mistakes with a girl who travels, and you can also be idiosyncratic as you can be.As she has seen so much worse in her travels and knows firsthand the vagaries of human nature.

Marry a girl who travels. She will introduce you to a new way to experience life. The weekend routine, the distraction from the everyday, will not be necessary. You will be constantly exposed to new fantasies and adventures.

You will not have to worry about impressing her with your car and corporate job, and you most certainly won’t have to shower her with jewelry from Tiffany’s. She values time over money and would rather have a story than a necklace.

Marry a girl who travels because she will allow you to leave your comfort zone. She won’t allow you to be bored because she’s always finding the road less travelled.

Chances are, she doesn’t want the life her friends have. She’s a dreamer who is unafraid to make those dreams a reality. She’s a freelancer and you will quickly become a muse to her art. She will show you a side of yourself that you often run from. She will not just listen to you complain about your job; she will try to show you how to change it.

Marry a girl who travels. She’s the one who is open about her mistakes for the story and who will appreciate your mistakes as well. She may not use her college degree, but she accepts knowledge from a peaceful and unique point of view. She is open-minded and trusts the world to take care of her and does not feel the need to become a slave to someone else’s dream. She is accepting of what life gives and recognizes when life leads her to a person worth loving.

Marry a girl who travels because she knows how to relinquish control. She recognizes that dreams change and will change her plans for the chance to love. She is friends with herself and knows how to follow her heart. She recognizes the beauty of uncertainty, and will plunge headfirst into the world of the unknown without a second thought. She will give herself to a dream without hesitation.

Marry a girl who travels because she knows how to be alone. She doesn’t need you to entertain her, and she’s confident in her choices. She trusts herself and she will not hold back in love when she feels that love is right.

Marry a girl who travels because she is not afraid to be herself. She is respectful of others, but more importantly is respectful to herself. She will defend what she believes is right, and you will soon find yourself doing the same.

She will never need you; making the relationship you build one based on choice, not obligation. She is independent and she understands that there are some dreams you must chase alone.

She is constantly meeting new people and trusts you to do the same. She will nourish your dreams and will expect the same in return. She will never hold you back.

PURPOSE OF LIFE

Alhamdulillah..

Since I join Pepias (Persatuan Pelajar Islam Selangor Darul Ehsan), I learn a lot of things.. I learned how to manage time properly..how to be good to others..how to make people feel comfortable with me..how to handle kids (lol) and especially the most important part is.. I learn what is the purpose of life! Which is HaKhaDa! "Hamba, Khalifah, and Dai'e"

But the most vital question in life is ‘Why are we here?’

Well, why are we here?  To amass fame and fortune?  To make music and babies?  To be the richest man or woman in the graveyard for, as we are jokingly told, “He who dies with the most toys wins?”

No, there must be more to life than that, so let’s think about this.  To begin with, look around you. Unless you live in a cave, you are surrounded by things we humans have made with our own hands.  Now, why did we make those things?  The answer, of course, is that we make things to perform some specific function for us.  In short, we make things to serve us.  So by extension, why did God make us, if not to serve Him?

If we acknowledge our Creator, and that He created humankind to serve Him, the next question is, “How? How do we serve Him?”  No doubt, this question is best answered by the One who made us.  If He created us to serve Him, then He expects us to function in a particular manner, if we are to achieve our purpose.  But how can we know what that manner is? How can we know what God expects from us?

Well, consider this: God gave us light, by which we can find our way.  Even at night, we have the moon for light and the stars for navigation. God gave other animals guidance systems best suited for their conditions and needs.  Migrating birds can navigate, even on overcast days, by how light is polarized as it passes through the clouds.  Whales migrate by “reading” the Earth’s magnetic fields.  Salmon return from the open ocean to spawn at the exact spot of their birth by smell, if that can be imagined.  Fish sense distant movements through pressure receptors that line their bodies.  Bats and blind river dolphins “see” by sonar.

Certain marine organisms (the electric eel being a high-voltage example) generate and “read” magnetic fields, allowing them to “see” in muddy waters, or in the blackness of ocean depths.  Insects communicate by pheromones.  Plants sense sunlight and grow towards it (phototrophism); their roots sense gravity and grow into the earth (geotrophism).  In short, God has gifted every element of His creation with guidance.  Can we seriously believe he would not give us guidance on the one most important aspect of our existence, namely our raison d’etre our reason for being? That he would not give us the tools by which to achieve salvation?

So what does the Creator, God, tell us about our purpose in life? God states in the Quran that He created the human to be His trustee on earth. Mankind’s basic trust, our responsibility, is to believe in and worship God:

And I did not create the jinn and humankind except to worship Me…  [Quran 51:56-58]

Some would hold that the purpose of life was to acquire wealth. Yet suppose they were to acquire millions of dollars, what then would they claim is their purpose after doing so?

If the purpose of life is to become wealthy, there would be no purpose after becoming wealthy.

The fact is that when people approach their purpose here in this life from the aspect of only gaining wealth, after collecting the money they have dreamed of their lives loose purpose and then they live in restless tension suffering from a feeling of worthlessness.

How could wealth then be considered as the aim of life?

Could the acquisition of wealth guarantee happiness? Of course not.
When we hear of millionaires or members of their families committing suicide, how could we consider the purpose of life would be to gain great wealth?

A child of 5 years would obviously prefer a new toy to a deposit slip for a million dollars.
A teenager does not consider millions of dollars in the bank a substitute for movies, videos, pizza and hanging out with his friends.
A person in their 80s or 90s would never consider holding on to their wealth in place of spending it to hold on to or regain their health.

This proves that money is not the main purpose at all the stages of one's life.

Wealth can do little or nothing to bring happiness to one who is a disbeliever in Almighty God, because regardless of what he or she would gain in this life they would always live in fear of what will happen to them in the end. They would wonder what would become of them and how they would end up.

Wealth and its accumulation as a purpose would be doomed to a temporary success at best and in the end it would only spell out self destruction.

So, what is the use of wealth to a person without belief? He would always fear his end and would always be skeptical of everything. He may gain a great material wealth but he would only lose himself in the end.

Worship of the One True Almighty God of the Universe [Allah in Arabic] as a primary goal or aim in life provides a believer with everything he needs to succeed in both this life and the Next Life.

The word for total surrender, submission, obedience, purity of heart and peace in the Arabic language is "Islam". Those who try to perform these actions are called "MU-slims" [Islam-ERs].

To a Muslim the whole purpose of life is "ibadah" or worship to the One True Almighty God on Terms and under His Conditions.

The term "worship" to a Muslim includes any and all acts of obedience to Almighty Allah.

Because Islam teaches that this life is only a test or trial for the individual to show him his true nature it is only natural that he would accept death as not so much an ending to everything but more as a beginning of the final and lasting life in the Hereafter.

Before entering into either of the final lodging places i.e.; Heaven or Hell, there must needs be a Day of Judgment or showing of one's true self to make them aware of their own nature and thereby understand what they have sent on ahead during the life here on the earth.

Every person will be rewarded [or punished] according to their attitude, appreciation and efforts during this stay on earth. None will be asked about the actions and beliefs of others, nor will anyone be asked regarding that which he was unaware of or incapable of doing.

As the life here is considered as an examination for the individual, the death stage is considered as a resting period after the test. It could be easy for those who were faithful and dedicated or it could be grueling and horrible for the wicked.

Reward and punishment will be in direct proportion to each person and it is only Allah, alone who will be the Final Judge over us all.

So in the teachings of the True Surrender, Submission, Obedience, In Sincerity and Peace to the Almighty One God [Islam], the line of life and its purpose is logical, clear and simple:

The first life is a test 

The life in the grave is a resting or waiting place before the Day of Judgment 

The Day of Judgment brings about the clear understanding of what will now happen to the individual based on his own desires and actions 

The Permanent or Afterlife will either be spend in luxurious splendor or miserable punishment .

Following this clear understanding of life, the Muslim's purpose is clear.

First of all, he has no doubt in his mind that:

he is only created by Allah 

he is going to spend a period of time in this material world [called "Ad Dunyah" in Arabic] 

he knows he will die 

he knows he will spend time in the grave, either pleasant or difficult depending on his own choice of attitude and actions 

he knows he will be resurrected for the Day of Judgment 

he knows he will be judged according to the most fair of standards by Allah the Almighty, the All 

Knowing he realizes his attitude and actions are going to come under very close scrutiny 

he knows that this short life compared to the Eternal Life was in fact, only for a test

This life is very meaningful and purposeful to the Believing Muslim, as he realizes that it will determine is outcome and permanent position in the Next Life.

The Rules For Being Human

THE RULES!!!

1. You will receive a body.
You may like it  or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period of this time around.

2. You will learn lessons.
You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called Life.Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons.  You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid.

3. There are no mistakes, only lessons.
Growth is a process of trial and error.Experimentation. The “failed” experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately “works.”

4. A lesson is repeated until learned.
A lesson will be presented to ou in various forms until you have learned it.When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.

5. Learning lessons does not end.
There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If yo are alive, there are lessons to be learned.

6. “There “ is no better than “here.”
When your “there” has become a “here” u will simply obtain another “there” that will again look better than “here.”

7. Others are merely mirrors of you.
You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself.

8. What you make of your life is up to you.
You have all the tools and resources you need.What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours

9. Your answer lies inside you. 
The answer to Life’s question lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust.

10. You will forget all this.

And now..You are smiling aren’t you? ^_^

DI SITU

Di situ

aku timba pengalaman

yang tak pernah jemu

untuk mencipta kejayaan.

Aku yakin

sepanjang hayat

pasti aku diuji dengan hebat

namun cintaku kepada-Mu, Rab

walau sesaat.

ODYSSEY TO NEPAL

Alhamdulillah..
After few weeks went back from Nepal , today I want to share my odyssey story.

Travel mates - My dad, My cousin(s), My dad's friends.







April 14, 2014 :

I got the chance to do rafting (berakit) along the Trishuli River, Kathmandu. These activity took me about 3 hours. It sounds too long right? But actually…Yeah it is ! I couldn’t agree more.To be frank, at first my group members and I were very enthusiastic. But that was all because we were still vibrant and so we could paddle like nobody cares. Unfortunately, "Row, row, row your boat,Gently down the stream.Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.".haha.. the spirit did not last long as we felt very tired and on the second half,so  we just let the bot flowed by itself following the waterflow.Could you imagine that we were rowing for about 25 KILOMETER with 6 obsticles ( big waves) non-stop! Fuhh...

At night, I thought that I got muscle aches! Auchh, I could not move normally as I used before. This is all because I was too excited as this is my first time did this kind of activities. So, without doing any warm up, I just row as frequent as I want. Oleh yang demikian, padan muka sayalah kan. Heh.. Terima kasih kepada Relispray. Tanpanya , saya mungkin menggelupur sepanjang malam akibat tidak dapat tidur dengan lena.. Alhamdulillah..

Besides that, during the night we also went to Tharu Stick Dance (culture program). It was quite nice as I’ve never saw that kind of dance before. The native people dance using stick as their main instrument and they really look like a warrior!

April 15, 2014 :

In the morning, we went for canoeing. It was also one of the awesome experience that I gained from that trip. It was a different river but I couldn’t remember the name. Sorry.. 

Ouh ya! I saw many crocodiles while we were passing through the river. Crocodile were everywhere. I repeat. EVERYWHERE! But don’t worry. They are my friends. They don’t bite us and also we are not that delicious to be their dishes. Lol.

After that, we went for elephant ride.Praise to Allah. He is the only one and the best Creator ever! Laillahaillallah Muhammad Rasulullah..I couldn’t believe that I was on the elephant body! Masha Allah! That animal is too huge! But walks toooo slow.Heh -_-‘’ 

But who am I to condemn right? Allahuakhbar..

"Dan Dialah yang menciptakan langit dan bumi dengan benar. Dan benarlah perkataan-Nya di waktu Dia mengatakan: "Jadilah, lalu terjadilah", dan di tangan-Nyalah segala kekuasaan di waktu sangkakala ditiup. Dia mengetahui yang ghaib dan yang nampak. Dan Dialah Yang Maha Bijaksana lagi Maha Mengetahui. "   (SURAT AL AN'AAM (Binatang peliharaan)  -ayat 73)

Ouh ya, one more thing.. All the elephant at Nepal were actually preserve by the Nepalis. Besides, lifting things elephant also bring people/ tourist for sight-seeing  around the jungle.

April 16, 2014 :

On this day, we were trekking to Australian camp or Dhampur from the afternoon after we had our lunch. After few hours trekking, we could fell that our fat was burning. Hehe. But actually the trek is not that hard. So, I recommend to those who are interested in trekking (beginners especially), you guys can come here and enjoy the spectacular panaroma in the same time! I am not joking, the scenery was very beautiful! Masha Allah.. The weather is soooo cold and yet nice.

One more thing, Subhanallah.. Alhamdulillah.. Alhuakhbar! Allah gave me the chance which I never ever thought before..While we were waiting for Maghrib prayer, my cousin and I had a chat in our small but comfortable room. All of sudden, it was raining outside and the sound of the rain was quite weird (as our rooftop were shower with something like pebbles).. So both of us decided to go outside and see what had happened. Can you imagine my excited face while I am typing this? Subhanallah! It was  HAIL (Hujan Batu) ! Seriously! This is true! It occurred in front of my eyes! I touched the tiny ice with my bare hand and it was magnificent! Subhanallah.

On the next morning, we enjoyed the sunrise and panoramic views of Himalayas,Green Hills, Landscape and after we had our breakfast we started to trek down  to Fedi.

"Dan Dialah yang meniupkan angin sebagai pembawa khabar gembira, mendahului kedatangan rahmatNya (hujan), sehingga apabila angin membawa awan mendung, Kami halakan ke suatu daerah yang tandus, lalu Kami turunkan hujan di daerah itu, maka Kami keluarkan dengan sebab hujan itu pelbagai jenis buah-buahan. Demikianlah Kami membangkitkan orang yang telah mati, mudah-mudahan kamu mengambil pelajaran " ~Surah Al-A'raf ayat 57~

 DU'A DURING THE RAIN THAT WE CAN PRACTICE :

April 17, 2014 :

Alhamdulillah.. I had the opportunity to do paragliding. I was booked in to paranova nepal through my travel agent. Paranova is located in the heart of lake side, good thing about them is they have pick up and drop service. I must say, once you take off, you will be in the air, you see the gorgeous mountain to the north. This is the best way to explore Himalayas.

Do you ever dream of flying -making lazy circles in the sky like a seagull or a hawk? If you do, you're not alone.Enthusiasts call it the simplest form of human flight. Using air currents and shifting their own body weight, paragliders can fly to heights of 23,000 feet (7,000 meters) with their paragliding sails. You can't beat the view, and paragliders find the solitude incredibly peaceful.

My Pilot - Mr.Buddhi Sagar

In theory, paragliding is similar to hang gliding. But there are several important differences. Hang gliders typically have an aluminum frame with a V-shaped wing. Paragliders have no frame, and the wing is an elliptical-shaped parachute that folds up to the size of a backpack when it's not being used. These features make paragliders considerably lighter and more convenient to transport than hang gliders.

Paragliders also soar a bit more slowly than hang gliders, which makes it easier for people to learn to fly them. You might think paragliding is like parachuting. But there's one main difference. Paragliding pilots start on the ground with their parachutes already deployed, and the wind takes them up into the sky. Parachuters fall from the sky and deploy the parachute as they get closer to the ground.

Paragliding is a must-do at Pokhara! It's an out of the world experience to para glide.“You can’t imagine the power. You feel like nothing, like a leaf from a tree going up,” It was the first time for me and I did a tandem jump.Alhamdulillah. They made it very easy. We just have to run down a hill, not look down and just get lifted off with the wind. I was initially scared since it was my first time but it happened within no time and I was very excited and comfortable when I was up in the air. I took the half an hour trip but the one hour one can get you a view of the Himalayas provided the skies are clear and the best time to do it is the first time in the morning.

April 19, 2014:

We already booked  a flight to see the mountains  (including the Everest).Our tourist guide, picked us up from our hotel at 6.00am on the morning of the flight and was there at the airport to meet me afterwards. The flight with Yeti Airlines was a magical experience. Everyone has a window seat. We took off a little after the scheduled departure time once the early fog had cleared and, within minutes, were soaring past the towering snow clad caps of the Langtan Range. We flew for 45 minutes parallel to the ranges and the stewardess pointed put the various peaks as they came into view. Set against the dazzling blue of the early morning, the rugged, mountainous terrain evoked sighs of awe from all on the plane, especially when we each HAD OUR TURN to view the scene FROM THE COCKPIT. 

Not once did I feel anxiety about our proximity to the seemingly endless stretch of mighty mountains alongside which we just seemed to float, as the views were just so impressive. Everest appeared, a great exultant pyramid jutting into the sky, caressed softly on its mighty peak by a faint wisp of sunlit cloud. The mood on the plane was one of awestruck happiness. If you are seated on the left side of the plane you are closer to the mountains on the outward flight but if you sit on the right, you have the view up even closer on the return journey. It was good and exhilirating flight.

ALHAMDULILLAH.. NEPAL IS REALLY A GOOD PLACE FOR OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES..I REALLY RECOMMEND IT..IF YOU ARE A NATURE LOVER..GRAB THE CHANCE TO GO THERE. YOU WILL DEFINITELY AMAZED BY THE WORLD'S VIEW. SUBHANALLAH. MAY ALLAH BLESS US ALWAYS..
