QotD: Opposites Attract???

  • Aug 28, 2009
  • 1 comment

Are you more attracted to people whose personalities are similar or different to yours?

I would say more or less correlates with one another. We dont have to be similar to one another, we dont have to be different for one another, but we complement each other. I am easily attracted to people who has some sort of connection to my personalities even though some times they are very different.

Scandanavia

Took me hours to reach this region.
What started off from a journey from Berlin became a tour of a lifetime. Now, the place is twice as cold as when I was in Germany. Finally, an acceptable temperature, but not really a good weather. I should say that I am back to the typical English weather. And as how people had said to me, things in Scandanavian country are very expensive. I might not be spending on anything here. Just want to take pictures and experience things. But it is cool because it is kind of cold.

Finally found a community of Muslims here. I hope I can do Friday prayers here after a long time. Insya Allah.

QotD: Thanks to Technology…

What are things you can do today because of technology that you couldn't do five years ago?
Presented by Intel, Sponsors of Tomorrow.

Streaming videos. I always thought that the internet is capable of showing videos online as users upload them. Not until the introduction of Youtube, I always tried to find ways to embed videos into my website. Experimented with different codes, and even used flash. Now it's very easy.

Couldn't think of others at the moment.

Revolution: Did it really affect all people?

  • Aug 26, 2009
  • Post a comment

When people in the East Berlin are asked how it was like to live under the communist rule, not all of them would answer the same. Some might say it was terrible, others might think otherwise. My host for example becomes sick of getting such question. He said it's just normal. The only trouble that he got was that he couldn't travel to Euroüean countries other than the Eastern Bloc. Now that Berlin is united, the trouble turns into travelling to communist countries. But other than that, there's not much of a difference.

Some people may be affected a lot by politics, some are not. The case would probably be the same with other countries in the world. Even some people in the North Korea may think that they are living a goodd life there. But if people want change, that's when they may start a revolution.

But when you are not involved, you might not feel the changes. Everything would seem normal (well probably some changes in policies). At last that's how I think.

Beyond the Berlin Walls

  • Aug 25, 2009
  • 3 comments

Arrived in Berlin yesterday morning. After visiting smaller towns, I have finally arrived in one of the biggest cities in Europe. It is also voted for this year's best tourism spot in Europe. There are two different parts of Berlin, which were once being ruled by two different factions. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the city gradually intergrates both parts into one. And now, the Berlin Walls, the only remaining evidence of the separation are now slowly falling apart. No man's land is now crowded with bars and construction.

Hitler also killed himself in this city. His bunker was permanently removed and was replaced by modern buildings. Most of the things constructed during of the Third Reich had been demolished. It was a story that people here did not wish to remember. But the holocaust memorial was massive. Synanogue being rebuilt, and people from different backgrounds had come to reside in Berlin. The was a blend of different architecture, and you won't see the same buildings along the street.

I have visited most of the Eastern part of Berlin and now I am going to visit the Western part of it.

Welcome Ramadhan

Ku mengharapkan Ramadhan
Kali ini penuh makna
Agar dapat kulalui
Dengan sempurna

Selangkah demi selangkah
Setahun sudah pun berlalu
Masa yang pantas berlalu
Hingga tak terasa ku berada
Di bulan Ramadhan semula

Puasa satu amalan
Sebagaimana yang diperintahNya
Moga dapat ku lenturkan
Nafsu yang selalu membelenggu diri
Tiada henti-henti

Tak ingin ku biarkan Ramadhan berlalu saja
Tuhan pimpinlah daku yang lemah
Mengharungi segalanya dengan sabar
Kita memohon pada Tuhan diberikan kekuatan
Ku merayu pada Tuhan diterima amalan

Selangkah demi selangkah...
Dengan rahmatMu oh Tuhanku...
Ku tempuh jua

Bratislava and Ramadhan

  • Aug 23, 2009
  • Post a comment

I have safely arrived in Bratislava. It's a very calm city with architecture similar to those in Austria and Hungary. It was raining in the morning, and now it is foggy. I went up to the 9th century castle and could see the aerial view of the city. It was amazing as it does not look busy at all. And I find the river was green in colour. That was something.

And there were wedding ceremonies all over the place. I was lucky to watch some of them.

Since it is the start of fasting month, I would like to wish Muslim voxers a joyous Ramadhan filled with good biddings and amalan. I need to find a good place to break my fast after this as well.

Tomorrow I will be heading for Berlin. See you later!

To live for Pizza or Pizza for living

  • Aug 18, 2009
  • Post a comment

Margharita = 6.00 euros
Pizza with mushrooms = 6.50 euros
Pizza with Patatas (fries) =7.50 euros
Pizza with Tuna = 7.50 euros
Maharaja Pizza (Seafood with 4 prawns) = 13.50 euros

Daily expenditure on food: 15.00

This is basically the menu we have got everyday. The price of margharita may vary between 4 - 8 euros. But all in all it was great. No one gets half portion. And the size of pizza? It was massive!

Funny thing I couldn't find any Pizza Hut here.
