journey to turkey...







First of all..WOW!!!
turkey is the must be visited country that u ever dream....
i spent about 7 days in turkey(21-27 january09) covering most fascinating spots in istanbul and cappodokia...they were awesome!!

We landed at Halimavaani Antatuk Airport,took van coz 10 lira each(RM20) to our hostel (cordial hostel) located at sultan ahmed region..istanbul looks alot like KL...but its alittle bit chilly...about the hostel,it offered very reasonable price which it cost only 8 euro for nite..plus they are very concerned bout hygiene...but it is not spotless...of course..! it took only 5 minutes walk to blue mosque and haghia sofya,8 minutes to underground cistern,10 minutes to topkapi palace,15 minutes to grand bazaar and 2 minutes walk to tram rail which can connect u to other places u wish..

where to enjoy some turkish food with low price??
hurmm...pick restaurant which u think they didn't flow out so much cash to rent the stall...that was what we think...one thing i hate most when taking a stroll around the city is the turks love to shout out loud ur country name and ask everything whch is boring..like Hello...malaysia? i love Malaysia...how r u?u want to buy somthing??very good price fo u Malaysia...
ohhhhh...whatever...!! i can't bear it when having some shopping in grand bazaar....owh..sorry..i shud talk about food..if u want to have some fish,take train to Eminonu and drop there.. ask people around to the fish restaurant...u can see them grilling fish on the boats..the waiters wear a black uniform with gold colored embroider..kind of cool...hihihi..for me,the food didn't fit my taste buds...anyway..if u are in rush..u just can grab any kebab and eat when walking...if u can't help urself from stop chewing,u can buy some baked nuts and grilled corn along your way..

hurmm...where to go next?
topkapi palace...ticket coz 20 lira(RM40)it is a castle which store many historical things..it is a primary residence of ottoman sultans 1465 to 1853...it is a must visited place bcoz there u can see many precious things abandoned by our last prophet Muhammad and his friends..(swords,beard,tooth,caftan,letters and many more)..there is also Mose's rod,John's skull an his hand,Fatimah zahra's caftan....all togeteher this palace consist of 4 yards..it takes 3 hours for meaningful tour...
blue mosque which is free...built with 6 minarets by Sultan Ahmed..as a tradition,the sultan will build a building(free style) if they win any battle during their reign but this mosque has been built by sultan Ahmed was not base on his victory. Instead he never won any war he was in charged during his time...
Dalmabache palace...coz 20 lira to get in..it is a palace built after topkapi..just take 15 minutes by train from sultan ahmed to karbatas(final)..drop off and walk for 5 minutes..nice and magnificient..
Yerebatan sarayi(underground cistern) coz 10 lira each..it is a water store underground cistern was built in the 6th century during the reign of Byzantine emperor Justinian 1...u can see medusa head upside down there too...anyway,it was nice but the fare is unagreeable..
Haghia sofya...huhuhu..so expensive to get in..20 lira for the ticket for u to enter the church and the mosque at the same time...there is a combination of Islam and Christian holy worship place..there u can see the Allah , Muhammad caliggraphy in Khat and also the pictures of Mary and Jesus Christ on the wall...it was a church during constantinopole rule(eastern orthodox) which has been converted into a mosque by the Sultan Mehmed 2(the conqueror) whch better known as Sultan Fatih...but nowaday,it turns out as a museum under the command of mustafa kemal Antartuk(the modern pharoah)...
as a muslim,i suggest u to pay a visit to Eyub Sultan mosque..there u can see Ayub an-anshari's tomb...it is free..u can also pray there...Ayub was a friend of Muhammad(pbuh)..he had an attempt to authorise and conquer constantinopole before Sultan Fatih but the victory was not on his side..once Sultan Fatih brought an end to Byzantine emperor,he asked his men to find the lost tomb of Ayub...when they discovered,his body was not all buried..he left his foot revealed..Sultan ordered his men to kiss Ayub's foot to pay reverence for him but when the sultan's turn had come,Ayub pulled his foot back into the ground...he was ashamed of Sultan because he failed to take down the contantinopole..i belive it is a true story..

what to shop?
turkish carpet,apple tea,turkish delight(variety flavors u can find),turkish coffee(too coffee),turquiose which means turk stone,ceramik with turk traditional designs with different indication of each emperor and many more....they were so exquisite and u have to be aware with the price they offered because they love to cheat on our money....especially tourist..hence,u better survey before u decide to take it home...

where to shop?
grand bazaar for turkish things,spice bazaar and for modern shopping u can try Cavehir mall located at sisli region...some say that it is biggest mall in europe...it is true that for me only the area involved to build this mall is huge but the shops available is too limited..many brandy shops are not there as instance Esprit,Nike,D&G,Padini,Elle,Naf naf,......plus small topshop!!kind of boring...

Cappadokia....
it is a cave area...there u can see many cave houses built by ancient people for shelter hiding away from roman cruelty..it is amazing when im start to think of how determined were they to carve the hard stone into a house...i also saw many mountains with snow covered on its top... it was so beautiful....here u cannot lose a chance to spent ur nite in cave hotel...alittle bit chilly but u can bear it...

thats all my words about turkeye...tashakur(TQ)

HATERS written by alisa valdes rodriguez


Mean girls..do you ever watch this movie starring by lindsay lohan?im quite sure many of you guys have watched it..anyway,i bought this book during ma summer break at MPH (times Square). the novel entitled as mentioned above..anyway,i would like to share ma point of views and maybe comments bout this novel..this story is quite similar with the mean girls movie..

Anyway...the story begin with this girl name Pasquala Rumalda Quintana de Archuleta (fuhh..gasping) a New Mexican girl whose parents got divorced...her dad is a cartoonist and her mom had left them,looking for another guys to hanging out without give a damn bout her family... Pasqi(her nickname) loves to bike and taking down many mountains in Taos..

One day,her dad had been offered by a company in Southern California to widened his career.. his ideas has been selected to be broadcasted..i dont know..!!dont bother bcoz this story is not bout him..

From the first day at her new southern California high school(Padre Loma High school),Pasqi learns that the popular students may be diverse in ethnicity but are alike in their cruelty...the environment is absolutely different back home in Taos..everything is so well manicured and look like toys.everyone is so wicked and seems like they are paying too much attention about their good looking and money!! they r all look like a superstar on TV..but for me they r fake..(plastic surgery)..well,u know..


As usual,the story is not complete without love drama rite?whatever..!! Pasqi met one of this ultra-hot guy name Chris Cabrera..meaning that she got messed and troubled by the beautiful cruel Jessica Nguyen who is the queen of haters and she got her eyes on Pasqi...she has warned Pasqi not to flirt with Chris..or even talk to him!!

Pasqi could have a vision about sumting would happen in the future....(superstitious)..one nite,she has been invited to join the party which is mostly attended by popular students in Loma..at the party,Andrew put rape drug(not sure the name) in her soda...she has also been challenged to kiss a girl in circled crowd...STUPID!! do they think this is the coolest way of having fun??then,jessica had pushed her into the swimming pool bcoz of her attemp of taking chris from her..Come on la..there are thousand of men out there laa Nguyen..!!

At the end of the story...tadaaa!!its not fair for you if i reveal its ending rite guys?? well, i think u can guess...anyway,this story is not bad but i keep questioning..wat am i questioning ha??

1. are these girls go to school seeking for ultra hot boys and be famous??
2.like in the mean girl movie..they just carry their tiny handbeg under the armpit loaded with
make up and things..wat about books??maybe they have locker at school..hurmmm.. at least
make it more logic...dont think u make movies just to promote new brandy stuff!!
3.why r girls always talking about boys??
4.why teenagers nowadays show no respect to their parents?? Is it a symptom that happen in
US which may influenced the other kids in this universe??why do they always say the bad
things about their parents and never agree with their decision??
5.is it the correct figure of the girl in US lost their virginity at the average age of 16??
6.why people keep calling other people as loser?

Actually those question pop out in ma mind when reading this novel..i hate the way Pasqi keep blaming her dad action..keep saying that he looks stupid and the bad moment is spending time with her dad..this has become the normal phenomenon in our daily life..

For the readers,please dont try this at home..!! practice the good moral values and keep out the bad influence from this story..take them as a lesson..

my rating : 4 stars...




WHY HIJAB???

What do you think about hijab?..im quite sure when we talk about hijab,your imagination will switch on into the muslim woman who cover their hair,neck,chest and maybe all part of the body..that is what the most apparent thing that differentiate muslim from non-muslim woman..

I am a muslim girl who use to study in moscow which most of the population loaded with christian...anyway,islam is the second religion in this country but most of them seems like not well practicing..the muslim girls in here are less to see wearing hijab,hence,i cannot notice whether she is a muslim or not unless if she mention that she is also muslim like i am...because only hijab can make them different,i mean physically..

For the first time i stepped my foot in moscow,it seems like everybody give us a strenght kind of looks at us..it hacked me off actually..they would gaze at me like i was a genome or something and then lean in to their friends to whisper about their thoughts on me..i mean bad and humiliating thoughts..then,their friend join to stare at us with such ignorance smirks..i felt like i just want to jump off the train and get away from this communist country...i just wondering whether they do have manners to interact with people indirectly.We cannot value a person just by taking a swift glance of him or her..this is all absurd!!

Btw,I always used to keep in my heart and brain that im leading to the right path.i 100% believe of my way to Him(Allah)..i should not bother or even feel ignorance about their reaction to me..because they do not know why my religion taught me so..i cover my body as a hedge to my dignity and honour..it does not belong to me and i have no rights to cause any harms to it,to modify it, and to expose it to those who has no permit to see it..i dont want to be submissive and be slave to the men..western always have a thought that we are the one who in veiled are being oppressed,but if u try to analyse it wisely...u will found out who is in the reality are being exploited by men or being oppressed ..look at those advertisement,voluptous chicks with sexy and luring body exposing all parts of the "sensitive spots"are used to be displayed on the massive electronic board,as a model of car promotion (i was bewildered once when i see this car promotion poster when the model is 4 times larger than the car is) ,slaves of fashions,slaves in playboys or other magazines that makes boys gone wild like animals nowadays..whats the points of all these? To feed the insatiable men? As a normal and civilized people,we know who are now being oppressed!!


In Al-Quran,there are many verses that stated all the women believers to cover up..


“O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies (i.e. screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way). That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed. And Allaah is Ever Oft‑Forgiving, Most Merciful”

[al-Ahzaab 33:59]

Prophet Muhammad once said...when a girl reach the ages of puberty,all parts of the body should not be seen but not this--he was pointing to the palms and the face.

Before, i end up my writting..i would to comment one of this video which was made in Cairo,Egypt by the western about why there is still sexual harassment has been reported among the egyption girls eventhough they are covered???in my point of view..things weren't gone in that way if all people practicing the whole islam teaching..men got aroused when they saw women in tv,magazines and from the other sources (foreign sources) and what they'll do is harass the girls(veiled) around him who are not resposible for it...who are not responsible for the arousement...so,who start all this over?

Think about it...Islam is the best and truth religion..!! Hijab is a part of its teaching which bring a lot of changes that upgrade the women status and liberation..if u do explore Islam,u gonna find out more incedible things and insyaAllah, may God bring u the lights....peace be upon you..

p/s:take a look at the foods and think with your heart..?


CHOICES GIVEN..WHICH ONE WILL YOU PREFERRED?
