Echopraxia




LATAH


Melatahlah kamu,
kalau itu bisa membuat kamu tahu,
yang jalan itu bukan yang satu,
membawa kamu terus ke situ.

Melatahlah kamu,
kalau itu yang perlu,
buat sedarkan hati yang membatu,
sebelum tubuh terbujur kaku.

Biar melatah sekarang,
jangan menangis di belakang.
Jika masih ada ruang,
bertatihlah lekas agar tak terus kecundang.

Melatahlah, jangan selalu melatah.
Takut nanti tersilap langkah,
akhir nanti kau akan rebah,
tak bangun-bangun terus kalah.

Mawlay


~~~ Kata kawan, nasyid ini boleh melegakan hati yang sedang radang. Sahih atau tidak, hanya DIA yang tahu.


Mawlaya..
My Lord...my pray and greet always..
Upon your beloved...the best among all humans
Muhammad...the master of both worlds
and both teams of arabs and non-arabs

You, Muhammad...
You have been hurt and bothered in Allah sake..
You never lost and gave up
And now (until) Islam Ummah (population) is in the Star
You traveled from one place to another..
As the moon travels in the dark
And you continued to rise until you gain a high position



Below is more accurate version of translation but incomplete.


Mawlaya salli wa sallim da-Iman abadan‘Ala habibika khayril khalqi kullihimi(Oh my Master, send Your salutations and blessings eternallyUpon Your Beloved – the best of creation)


Muhammadun sayyidul kawnayni wath-thaqalain

(Muhammad is the leader [as the Final Prophet and the best of creation] Of the two worlds, and of Man and Jinn)


Wal fareeqaini min ‘urbin wa min ‘ajami

(Leader also of the Arabs and the non-Arabs and their kin)

A visit to Sydney,Australia




OK,it has been a while since my last time posted anything here. This time, my entry is more like a normal blog; where Im going to blabbing about this that I have done lately; not a poem or any sort of literature =)

Last week, we had our flat-outing,together with Een from Christchurch. We went to SYdney! yea,people! Sydney! What an expensive outing! We were there for 4 days; stayed at Malaysian Hall.


We checked-in at Malaysia Hall right after we arrived. The hall was awesome! Very cheap rent,indeed. The surrounding was lovely and clean, the people a bit cold though =) Kak Nani was a cool host.She doesnt look like a grandmother,okey!Unbelievable =)


After that, we headed to Circular Quay,impatiently hoping to see Sydney Opera House. Really excited! We also went to the other side of the city, Marrison Point, via ferry. We crossed the Sydney Habour Bridge with the train to get back to Circular Quay.

It was hard to find a halal restaurant there especially during lunch time. I know that they have a long list of halal restaurants in Sydney but seriously, they need to do some up-dating here! Some restaurants are not there anymore! Some are really fancy; would cost us 3months of MARA monthly pocket money to dine there.huhuhu.


Later of the day, we went to Westfield Shopping Centre, ANZAC Memorial, Pool of Refelction, an old-unique church, the city Park and met Kak Nini, Melor's cousin.

Next day, we took a train to New Castle. Man, it was a very long journey!3 hours, okey! We met the KMBs people there. It was glad seeing other medic students from other unis.We were served with very yummy lunch! After that, they took us for a tour at Uni of New Castle. Seriously, I felt like I was at FRIM, very bushy and 'foresty'.
We headed to Foreshore to see the big ship which only a few meter off the shore. The ship 'Pasha' got stuck there since last Friday. We went home after 5pm and it took me another 3 hours of journey.~sigh~ Luckily, Een and I had some puzzles to make our boredom more enjoy =) That night, we had our dinner at Cafe Kasturi. We were standing in front of the shop at 2030, 30 minutes before it closed. huhuhuhu... Thank God, they let us had our dinner there. Or else...
(thanks to the girls : Dash, Hani, Fini, Mel, Kak Ti and the cars )

Darling Habour was our next stop. We wanted to go to Sydney Aquarium and Sydney Wildlife world! We commuted to get around the harbour and to the Sydney skytower. It was dark when we were up there, so, only could appreciate the lights. The Oztrek was awesome! We had our dinner at kebab store that night; Ali Baba.


The next day, we went shopping! yeay! We headed up to Paddy's market to get some souvenirs from Sydney. As everybody would thought, the place was like a Chinetown. It just the matter whether you want to buy things 'made in China' or 'genuine from Australia'. We had lunch at Kingston; UNSW people. After that, we went to Bondi beach.Eventough it was getting darker and raining, we were so adamant to go there. It was worthwhile =)

Well, end of our journey. That was it. Like Nuha said ~ a tale to tell~ hahhaha
