Maulidur Rasul
Tomorrow is Maulidul Rasul in Turkmenistan. In fact the Maulidul Rasul is also celebrated in Malaysia today and was declared as public holiday. So the office will be closed tomorrow. We are invited for the doa selamat tomorrow at our supply base manager's house. After isyak prayer just know we were invited for the rewang or gotong royong for makan makan at his house tomorrow morning. The meal will be served after friday prayer. The menu will be satay, bihun goreng, bubur kacang and many more I supposed. I think I just go to eat. Heheheh...bit lazy to participate for the gotong royong.
.
Ahmet came to my office this morning. We talked a lot about project...how to tidy up and make it more effective and efficient...talking about the progress...talking about engineering. I comprehend his concerns and I threw few of my concerns as well. Later we dragged our conversation to talk about politics...life...family and many more. It ended up nearly two hours. Anyway if god willing, I will meet him again in Istanbul for my LOI/Visa extension and the engineering meeting. Got to scan the progress and other matters to less the worries.
.
Yesterday Mr Zeki called me inviting for the doa selamat as well. I wouldn't know that the Turkish people also practiced and cultured this kind of ritual. Here are our conversation that transpired. To make it more entertaining you should keep your accent like the Turkish...hehehe
.
Mr Zeki: Hello how are you Mr Abuikhlas
Abuikhlas: Fine. Thank you. What can I do for you Mr Zeki.
Mr Zeki: I want to invite you for the food because we are going to have a sheep slaughter for our OGT.
AbuIkhlas: Ok. Thank you. Who are you going to invite?
Mr Zeki: You can invite all of Petronas and MMHE. We are going to have food. But I will confirm with you later.
I was bit confused either he meant to invite the locals too.
Abuikhlas: Ok. I think it is better we have it before 6.00 p.m for our dinner time at your place.
We ended the conversation there and I was anxious to inform all my colleagues during lunch time. After 1 hour time Mr Zeki call me again.
Mr Zeki: Mr Abuikhlas....I'm very sorry to inform you we have to cancel. We cannot find the sheep. We will do it next week.
I was bit concerned whether they will purchase the meat from the market or they will slaughter accordance to the syariaah. If not I may decline to go or just say my stomach is fulled.
Abuikhlas: May I ask you something. Are you slaughter the sheep rightly accordance to islam?
Mr Zeki: Sure...of course...
Abuikhlas: Ok. I wait for your next invitation then...
.
So I got an idea now......If Mr Zeki call me I would tell him what recipe that I wanted to have. Hahahah...surely I will ask him to prepare roasted lamb marinated with thousand spices. Let the aroma and the smoke of the BBQ fill the air of Kinyali.....oh...how wonderful it will be...

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

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

Pokok Kemboja Inilah pokok kemboja yang baru aku semai. Harap harap dan berdoa hiduplah mereka Ini satu lagi semaian dari spesis baru yang aku dapat dari SB Kemboja yang di semai semula akibat tumbang ti tiup ribut tahun lepas suadah subur dan baru mula berbunga. Warnanya bright pink Ini pun sama juga kemboja yang mula berbunga selepas di tanam semula akibat tumbang di pukul ribut. Inilah kemboja besar berwarna orange and pink. Risau juga takut tumbang di tiup angin. Do you know that Kemboja possesses its very own characteristic smell? Yesterday I was picking the varieties of Kemboja from the ground and I started to smell them. To my astonishment, all of them explained a different kind of aroma. . I was at SB one day and while I was enjoying driving and viewing the varieties of plants, I saw a pink with maroon lining Kemboja by the road side. I stopped my car and asked the Indon man how much was the Kemboja. He said RM75. The size was about3 feet tall and already blooming. I was cont
