At last...

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah and hello to everyone...

What a disgrace, 7 solid weeks in Malaysia but still couldn't find time to update this blog!!! Am already in Manchester now, just arrived nearly 12 hours ago. Will try to share all my experience back home, plus pictures as well. In the meantime, need to align my body and brains with the time difference.

Already missed one day of class, can't miss any more. Today's lectures are in Wythenshawe Hospital, south of Manchester. Journey by bus will take more than an hour, so I need to prepare early. Luckily, it's only a half-day session.

Will then join a meeting with the Malaysian Student Department (MSD) officials at Jati Restaurant at 2pm, regarding the reception of new students coming over to the UK this coming month. 6pm is the MCOT football session, as usual and as announced by brother Farhat@Bobby in the MCOT mailing list.

So, when will I recover from this jet-lag?

Question remains unanswered.


Narrated Anas r.a.: Allah's Messenger s.a.w. said, "No one who has entered Paradise will desire to return to this world even if he should be given all that the world contains, except a martyr. For he will yearn that he should return to the world and be killed ten times on account of the dignity that he will experience by virtue of his martyrdom."

Another narration is: "On account of the excellence and distinction, he will experience as a result of martyrdom."
(Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
