THIEVES CAUGHT ON VIDEO

The big, heavy and strong donation box was moved by the thieves. The video recordings showed 4 Malay youths came the very the first day. It was around 2am. They covered their faces with their shirts. The used the 'fishing' technique. They placed a strong glue at the end of a wire and fished for notes from the donation box. The Surau Committee members were irked even more when video showed the youths wore their shoes freely while doing their hideous crime.

The main questions asked among those who watched the video were;-
1. Who to blame for the youths actions?
2. What are their feelings?
3. Have they no fear of Allah?
4. Did our education system fail?  

Three police officers came and do their investigation. They tried their best to get the finger prints from the safety box. They promised to catch the thieves as soon as possible. They will use the video recordings and the finger prints as their main leads.

The Special Gift


As she and her family could not come for Arif's wedding, she posted her gift. It arrived a day before the wedding date. We decided not to use them as they were supposed to. Thank you WF.

The Making of "Telur Pindang"


The whole process of making the "telur pindang" was very time consuming. The selection of herbs and leaves to be boiled with the eggs are also tedious. Not to mention the arrangement of the eggs before adding water so they do not burst or spoilt. But the end result [if all goes well] the taste is very delicious! 

Rooms To Let



Many relatives from afar are coming for Arif's wedding. They need a place to stay during their visit. With the help of En. Ruslan and En Shamsul, I managed to secure 7 units. The cost are very minimal.

01- 02 Dec 2012 @ Sarang Buaya Mosque

The 12 men kompang group performed brilliantly despite the hot weather.  


If only they would let me play the kompang during the procession.

 Finally, after several "tolls' [money packets were given to group of close relatives - a wedding tradition in Johor] Arif was allowed to be 'The king' and sits beside his queen.

I sat beside En. Radzi [bridegroom's uncle]who works at IPG Bahasa Antarabangsa during the Akad Nikah ceremony. I first met him during at Meru BTN camp. 

In full attention! Shafiq, Arif's cousin preparing for his akad nikah in the near future. InsyaAllah
