Episode 3: Sudan: My Project Camp Site
................
My project camp site situated 5 kilometers from my project site office. We have to commute everyday after breakfast at 7.00 a.m. It is about 15 minutes drive. The camp is managed by our contractor BWSC from Denmark. There are not many facilities provided but just enough for us to pamper ourselves to play snooker and table tennis. There are Danes, Malaysians, Indians, Fillipinos, Sudanese, Pakistanis, Germans, Slovenians, Australians, Bosnians and the local Nuirs. We try to understand each other but it is not so easy to mix around because of language and culture barrier. Anyway we just smiled to each other with a simple greeting when we met. We are happy to be here and here are some pictures to enjoy.

This was our cook Mr Tanggai. He left the camp last month. When i asked him where are you going? He said that he is going for vacation. Until today i haven't seen him. Perhaps he already left the camp. Whenever i wanted to cook, he will prepare the ingredients for me. I also taught him how to cook Malaysian food. He is a nice guy.

Ali is second from the left. He is our baker. He made very tasty breads and cakes. I helped him sometimes to roll and shape the dough. He can not speak english and i can not speak arabic. So we just using the sign language and expect that we understood each other. Quite funny........! That is me in the black polo T-shirt. The far left is Dominic. He also had left the camp. I dont know where he is now. I gave Malaysia printed T-shirt to all of them and they were so delighted. He..ehe...he...that is why I got easy access to the kitchen and the food supply.

.

This is my small room. The furnitures are from Ikea. Small fridge and there is nothing there actually...hehehehehehe. My best friend...lap-top...I will carry it around with me during my travelling. We are provided with wireless internet access....bit cheerful with it...if not the life will be miserable. Thank God.

This is my cute sofa. Only available in my room. I seek permission from Jan to take that sofa to my room. It was in the creation room before. This is where I sit quietly and comfortably focusing on my needle works.

These are local girls. Our Contractor invited them during the Chrismas day. They were singing and chanting in their own language.....never comprehend what they said.

A procession ...........many of them....teenagers....small kids.

That is me under the aircraft wing. Ready to go back for R & R. What a relieve.............after two months at site. That is the aircraft to commute from site to Khatoum. It took about 2 hours to reach Khartoum.
That is me....ready to board the aircraft.....

Regent Park Mosque London Setiap hari Khamis malam Jumaat aku akan ke London untuk ke Algate East Mosque, Christian Street, London. Masjid ini dahulunya adalah synagogue. Apabila komunity Islam sudah bertambah di kawasan ini, terutamanya warga Bangla, maka ramai orang orang Yahudi yang berpindah ke North London. Selalunya aku akan terus dari kelas ke sana yang memakan masa selama 30 minit by train. Kadang kadang ada member teringin nak ikut tapi selalunya aku seorang lone ranger aje. Di samping dengar bayan sekali sekala seronok juga boleh jumpa dan borak dengan member2 yang lain. Di sinilah aku selalu jumpa Abang Qasim aku tuh. Kalau aku dah penat dan rasa dah lewat untuk pulang ke rumah, aku iktikaf aje di masjid. Kalau aku iktikaf Abang Qasim lah yang selalu sediakan bistra untuk aku. Sayang dia kat aku...hehehehe. Esok paginya kadang aku terpaksa ponteng kelas sebab lewat. Lagi pun subjek tu bukanya ada exam pun. Jadi week end sahaja aku selalu lepak di rumah member member aku yan

Bobo Telah Pergi Buat Selamanya Huhhuhuhu....... untuk pengetahuan sahabat semua, Bobo telah kembali mengadap Tuhan yang Maha Esa dua hari lepas setelah bertarung dengan kesakitan yang di alaminya seperti yang aku ceritakan sebelum ini. I got a call from somebody dan beritahu Bobo dah meninggal. Aku cuma dapat mereka tolong uruskan mayat Bobo itu. Kalau tak silap aku dia meninggal pada usia lebih kurang 20 bulan. . Sebenarnya kehidupan Bobo, aku, dan semua makluk Allah taala sama saja. Iaitu suatu masa kita akan tinggalkan dunia yang fana ini dan menghadap Allah taala dan semua amalan perbuatan samada baik atau buruk akan di persembahan untuk mendapat balasan yang setimpal. Hanya ihsan dan rahmat Allah sahaja yang kita yang kita perlu untuk memasukkan kita ke dalam jannah. . Bobo lebih beruntung dari kita sebab tiada hari hisab untuk di risaukan. Binatang seperti Bobo akan mati apabila sejumlah zikir ang di berikan telah selesai. Bukan seperti manusia akan mati apabila habis rezeki dia

Pokok Bunga Kertas Sekarang orang tanam pokok bunga kertas dalam pasu gantung. Bila daun dia merendang dan berbunga memang nampak cantik seperti pokok pertunia. Rasanya pokok bunga kertas ni lebih senang nak jaga lagi pun dia berbunga sepanjang tahun. Ada juga di tanam di dalam pasu yang lebih besar. Tetapi harga tiga kali ganda. Aku beli Empat pasu untuk di letak di depan rumah aku. Satu warna bright pink, peach, white and light pink. Nampak gaya ia akan menjadi koleksi terbaru aku. Dulu aku pernah tanam berbagai bagai pokok ni dan dah besar dan cantik untuk di bongsaikan. Tapi kawasan rumah sekangkang kera aku terpaksa eksport ke rumah mertua aku. Sekarang entah kemana pokok pokok itu. Actually idea untuk letak bunga kertas berjurai tu dah lama aku buat seperti di dalam gambar tu. Aku rasa dah 6 tahun aku tanam kat atas tu tapi masih juga kemetot. Aku tahu puncanya. 1. Tinggi sangat - jadi malas nak kerabat pakai tangga untuk membaja dan merumput. 2. Kurangnya baja untuk di suburkan
