If anyone one of you are interested to learn Quran recitation online, I will give you a brief overview of how it works.  So, last August 2016, a year plus ago, I decided to learn the Quranic recitation again. I looked online and discovered this new method of learning online with an ustazah in a group. I took the classes for 2 months then I went back to London and the timing of the class did not suit UK time so I stopped taking classes for a year until I returned to Malaysia. I started again last November 2017 and classes are now still ongoing. For those of you who find it tricky to travel far or have very different hours day-to-day, I would highly suggest taking an online class. For me, the class is 1 hour and there are about 12 students in a class so we take turns reading. Not all 12 turn up, so it depends. Sometimes I get to read twice and sometimes just once. Classes are three times a week and at a fixed time each day. The ustazah will correct you immediately after you read and

Yesterday, my family and I went to the popular Korean restaurant in Ampang called Sweetree. It is said that they are the only certified Halal Korean food in Malaysia. I am not too sure about this but the place is wonderful, they even have a prayer room. The decoration is lovely and homey and they have two separate sections, one for the ala carte menu and one for the BBQ section. The last time I went to this restaurant was the end of August and during that time we even met Luke Orang Korea. He was so friendly and welcoming and we had a great chat with him. I now follow his online pages on Instagram and Youtube :) To be honest, I am not a super big fan of Korean and Japanese food because I do not really like raw food/fish. This place is nice though, the taste suits local preference. I am not sure if it is authentic Korean food but definitely worth a try. The price for some of the food is slightly above average but most are reasonable. We went to have BBQ and had the be

And the email was from.............................. Google! I have been applying for Google Adsense ads for years ever since I started my blog in 2010 but my application often did not go through because of several reasons. I have tried to improvise every time based on their thorough rules and regulations but it still did not go through. I even tried last summer. Still a 'no' from them. I did no

I travelled from London to Paris for the EAGE conference in mid June. It was Ramadan time so I did not fast since I was travelling hehe. Here, I would like to share a short summary that I wrote about the 3-day conference. As a student, this was my first real geologist conference and it was really interesting. This may give other students an idea of what to expect in their future conferences.  Day 1: Tuesday, 13 June                 On the first day of the conference, I attended the student short course on ‘Integrating concepts for source rock deposition’ in the morning. Something I enjoyed about this session was that they explained the concepts in a manner that was easy to understand. The background of the topic was clearly explained and the presentation flowed smoothly. One of my favourite speakers during this short course presented with enthusiasm and had a clear presentation as he projected his voice well. He used a pointer which was helpful and he was very expressive and inte

Love is a world-wide popular word. Love is what almost every girl dreams of, falling in love with Prince Charming and meeting Mr. Right, getting married and living happily ever after, The feeling of wanting to love and be loved is indescribable. Almost every human can relate to this, regardless race, religion, skin colour and social status. Women are commonly very vulnerable when falling in love and often heads over heels when loving a man. It is sometimes true when people say that love is blind. When in love, often the flaws are overlooked. Over time, realisation kicks in and sometimes it is too late or difficult to turn back. It is not always the woman's fault completely when this happens but being careful before falling too deeply in love and choosing your partner wisely are often two things that can help create that 'happily ever after' every woman hopes for. Before falling in love, I believe the first step is to love yourself and to be clear about what you are look

I like how there are more and more motivational materials to read online. There is an Instagram page I follow and I get new ideas on what to write and also able to gauge the popular topics based on the number of likes there.  I was reading a book last night titled 'Enjoy Your Life' by Dr. Muhammad Al-Areefi. I bought this book in London, it was highly recommended by a close friend. She attended one of his talks and told me this is a best-selling book. It has 589 pages and last night I was reading a few topics including Topic 56: Do Not Care About What People Say, page 402. From reading these topics, my observations, and experience in general, I concluded that one of the best way to lead a happy life is to be light-hearted. Being light-hearted is often confused with the idea of 'I don't care'. It is different because the former suggests a more kind, positive and carefree approach whereas the latter imposes negativity, aggressive behaviour and resentment.  How

This is ironic because I have not even reached my mid-20s as I am writing this. Perhaps a more suitable title would be 'What You Need to Know in Your Early 20s'. And then a few years from now, I will be writing this again from a mid 20s point of view and then finally another post in my late 20s (hopefully I'll still be blogging that time). I have lots to share from my own experience, from my observations, from other people's experiences and from what I read. If you are in your late teens or if your age begins with the #2, here is what you need to know: You are in the transition period between a teenager and an adult. There are lots of changes that are bound to happen internally and externally. Expecting change, being OK with more responsibilities and having general acceptance of this transition will help you through this new phase of life. Denying change and always wanting to go back in the past will make it harder for you to embrace this exciting time of your lif
