        In Malaysia, we have celebrated Holi since the earliest days our fore-fathers set foot in this country. For over 5 decades, it is a celebration that has brought together every person in the community, young and old, friends and relatives, all on a occasion where everyone is equal. It is time to share our affection with our dear brothers, sisters, friends, and relatives, and form bonds within the community as colourful as holi itself .

LOL ROOMMATE

         Just two days we meet, we sleep, ate and shopping together. We don’t know much about us. But we still sharing the laughter and the sadness. When we think how about the first meet up. We properly says I don’t know it. We just meet together. We take care each other very well. We wake up for prayers, going to class at the same time, we advise them when we had a mistake openly. 

     Most of time, the room is nosier until our neighbor ask us ‘Why are you noisy all the time?’ We just answer are ‘Are we too loud?’ today is our first month of anniversary as a roommate. Between a month of roommates many obsolete we been threw having love problem, family problem and others. We grateful to God for giving a relationships as a best friend. Thanks God.

        We carrying each others such as if  Nad coming late after 12 am we ask, scold and advise  them. Besides we waiting for them to come at room. If Puti went to  hometown some of us could't slept properly. But when she bring the food we will laugh out loud. For Fatin we always childish fight  to see who will give-up. For Genji, we always mimic talk because she so cute when she say like 'Lol, hebat mama hebat' and others that. Besides, We always clean our room together for each two week in a month.

      The best moment is we celebrate Genji birthday, we going to Dominions Pizza, shopping, walking under moon light and others. At there, properly all people looking us because we are too noisy. Actually other thinks we are noisy but for us we are having fun with busy schedule as a student. For me, I always advise them to study. Last word for me is We hope a relationship as roommates and has friend will stick along with Puti, Nad, Fatin ,Genji and Jay.

MY THOUGHT OF MH 370

 Even thought it has been a week.  We all busy praying and hopping the best for MH 370. But what actually we had done? I wonder are we really praying and hoping the best?  The issue of shaman or  ‘bomoh’ had  popular enough . Their even  got an application for android to download it. Okay let we think positif site, I can assume that shaman also want to try for helping MH 370. The negatif site of this, perhaps their want to be popular. But come to think , I don’t think Islam is like that and it will confuse other who convert in Islam. For what I been thought is if you want something just do prayer intention or ‘solat hajat’  and pray to them. That will be enough.

When MH 370 missing  all country come for help such as America, Australia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, German, Singapore, China and Malaysia. All country support aid such as Helicopter, Submarine, Navy and others. There are trying the best for MH 370. Many speculation has cross by in media. But the confirmation of any speculation is quiet slow. But come to think it,  I’m not at their place so I did know the situation maybe it quite difficult especially for their family, friends, and government to handle all of speculation especially from media such as CNN,  Awani and others. What we should do is to investigate and take the true one . Not just take it from other media social like Facebook, twitter  and others.

        So, we as a Malaysia we are embarrassed by the shaman activity in the KLCC Airport. Besides, I think we are not educated enough to helping the government to settle down MH370 but we still drown the speculations. I think we should be mature to settle the problems and think of out box. For Islamic thoughts, the most important thing is back to basic. It means that back to Al-Quran and Al-Sunnah. I fell proud to be a part of teams that contribute the song to those who are involved in MH 370.

WHICH PATH WILL YOU CHOOSE? HEALTHY FOOD OR NOT?

         Food is most important to anyone of us. But is it is healthy food or not? Which part of food you choosing in your life. If you want to healthy food you have to make effort either money or time.  In the terms of money, nowadays more health food in the market but it expensive. In terms of time, will you spent your time to plant the vegetables? If yes you are really want to be healthy by eating healthy food. If no you will be eat unhealthy food such as fast food.

          Nowadays, most of people don’t have time so practically there don’t ate healthy food. In Malaysia most of them eat at stalls . If you are the student you not eating healthy food because in cafe there are not provided a healthy food.  Basically, it hard to find a healthy food and clean place to eat. But what we can do is to cook. Then it defiantly will be clean and healthy. We have to choose which want is best to our life.

           Whatever what job you’re posting, you have to take care of your healthy. By eating the healthy food and exercise it will keep health besides you can reduce the sickness at the old days. If you are eating too much it can cause diabetic, blood pressure and others sickness. So you’re have to manage to take between the healthy food or unhealthy food. Give your effort to make healthy life.

STUDENT EXPENSES

       

      Hi there, a student lifestyle very complicate yet it fun. Basically a student must think all side of life. First of all, the expenses for student is very expensive even though their got scholarship but money not enough. The scholarship give around RM3500 But after paying University fees the balance around RM 2500.  The student must be organize the money very well.

    When the student start entry the hostel, student have to prepare the all the falsities such as hanger, pail, shampoo, bathrooms tools and other . That will cost around RM 150. Then when semester start,  the expenses increases to almost RM 900 because student have to buy book that recommend by lecturer.  A book will prices almost around RM 60. Besides, the student have to buy a stationary tools like plain paper, pen, paper sheets and others. Other things that student always do is Photostat, scanning and printing for submit the assignments, tutorials, project and many more that the highlight of the expenses that each student can’t be escape from it. 

    Even though  the expenses are too high but for student life have to face it. At the end of each semester, most of student had to ate ‘maggi’. The fast food is unhealthy food but student have to take it. For a day the student mostly spend around RM 20 only for the food. So it mean for a month  it cost around RM 620.  When we calculate it almost have negative. How about the cost of living? If we study in peninsular and going holiday to Sabah and Sarawak for semester break? How the prices of  flight ticket? How about others expenses? Then the student have to think wisely about it.  This is only minority of the student life but it will be impact for others. This is the problems that student have to face it besides the student  have to give some money to their parents for reduce burned of their parents.

MY HOMETOWN - TAIPING

Taiping, Perak know is the ‘The Town Of Rain’ and ‘ The Heritage Town’ because of high rainfall as close to the equator and at is the  first capital of Perak at that time. The lake garden is  a lake full with huge ancient rain tress “angsana”. This is the favorite place for anyone especially for photograph because of the view and the people that there. The best view is when the ancient rain tress ‘kiss’ the water in the lake. 

Another favorite place in Taiping is The Maxwell Hills.  At Maxwell their got home stay at hill. You can book the Home stay and its reasonable price. The middle of the hills got temple for devotes pray. Most of devotes come once a  year to fulfill the wishes. Besides that, you can view the all Taiping in the Maxwell hills. The community will jogging at early morning and evening. The Maxwell hills is the best way to jogging, see and touch the nature by your own hand. At the hills, that is the  best moment is to watch sunrise and sunset is while drinking hot coffee. 

In British century, their got clock town near market. The clock town is the heart of Taiping, the places are still same like the old days. Still now most of the community still going to the market but at night it have the busiest place because of many stall are open especially Chinese food. 

The latest picture of clock tower 

Even thought, Taiping is a heritage places. Nowadays the population in Taiping much bigger. Some more, the hot weather give the impact to tourist to come visit Taiping. But now Taiping Lake Garden water has dry. So basically, the beauty of Taiping is lost. The hot weather refleks the Malaysian tourist some more lots of children can’t remember the beauty of Taiping like the old days. The building are build to high, more shopping complex are builds these days  and it not heritage anymore. I live since 25 years, it change the environment,  people thought and Taiping itself. For my opinion even thought Taiping had been change, the nature of coolest place should be maintain.
