Me wid Ucu...at Masjid Al-Azhar

Live never sleeps as we go through our lives in Cairo...Its another day here in the capital of Egypt...feeling the morning breeze in an old town named Abbasiah...named after the 2nd Islamic Dynasty which used to make this place as the centre of everything...masa tu le....

Wahh...who believes....its already our 2nd week here in Egypt...not really bad huh...yet, still a lot to learn...dis week we got our chances to ride the buses and Metro to Kulliyyah....hahaha...thank god our class here starts at 11...still got chance to 'buang apa yg patut' before going to school..hehehe

To ease down the flow..e're divided into 4 groups...each with 7-8 members..Me...Ryzal..Raudhah...Farihah...Adilah...Hafizah and Fazilah...Alhamdulillah...no big problems appears as days passes...hehehe...
Syeikh al-Azhar

Last Friday we got lucky for being able to perform our Jumaat prayers at the prestigious Jami' Al-Azhar (Al-Azhar Mosque)...hearing the khutbah from the Syeikh al-Azhar makes our hearts tremble....each words which comes out from his mouth is full of ideas and inspiration...Masha Allah...

KUSYARI everyone!!

A place full of stuffs...which is very near especially to the ladies la...ada selendang...jubah...copper stuffs...even rempah ratus also got...you might even get shocked to hear arabs speak malay here...phrases such as 'HARGA MURAH'....HARGA GILA'...PALING MURAH'...and more..hahaha....Arabs here can speak a lot of languages...they can even differ people by a single look...."MALAYSIA??Apa Khabar??"..."CHINA??...Ni Hao.."
Really funny...rite??....but...u should still be aware of this tricky Arabs....Khan el-Khalili is also known as home where many 'cheaters' lives...hahaha..As for today...we manage to get there once more....buying our own goods...I got myself a nice Moroccan Jubah (Jubah yang ade tutup kpala mcm ahli sihir tu..) for only Le55...together wid Al-Ustaz..with his abilities in 'psychology'....(kononnya)...'fi hunaka khamsun faqot'..padahal kat sne Le 65...hahaha...finally this Pak Arab agreed to sell us dat fine Jubah for only Le 55...Alhamdulillah..

Other thing happen to our good frien Rijal....seems dat he's having bad luck since arrival...(xpa jal..sabar k...)...jz now...he got cheated by an Arab...pulling his hands inside his shop...then forcing him (Rijal) to pay...dah la pak Arab ni amik wallet die...siap cek2 plak duit orang....arghhh....poor Rijal...

BEWARE OF PICK-POCKETS!!!

Another thing here in Khan el-Khalili is....PICK POCKETS...you should always beware of your personal and valuable belongings....put your wallets in your up-front pocket...and dont show your money to all people...as it may attract vicious Arabs (those jahat one la..)...hahahaha...
