break your fast on dates

Muslims generally break their fast by eating dates.

Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is reported to have said: "if anyone of you is fasting, let him break his fast with dates. In case he does not have them, then with water. Verily water is a purifier."

ramadhan 2011

Today is the 1st ramadhan for this year. Ramadan 2011 is the Islamic month of fasting, in which Muslims around the world observe Puasa (Fasting) from dawn to sunset, which means that every day during this month, Muslims spend the daylight hours in a complete fast, refraining from eating, drinking, that is in excess or ill-natured. Because of that, Ramadhan 2011 is also referred to as Fasting Month 2011, or Puasa 2011.

I would like to wish all muslim friends a happy ramadhan. May the guidance and blessings of Allah be with you and your family.

yellow

Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah, they were all yellow.
I came along,
I wrote a song for you,
And all the things you do,
And it was called "Yellow".
So then I took my turn,
Oh what a thing to have done,
And it was all "Yellow."... coldplay

hey monkey

two monkeys had a little fight in Lipis Zoo.

"Well, I used to live in a tree
I loved it there, but that
was not enough for me
So I paved a road to the city
And left the rest of the monkeys.."

the king of fruits

Durians are widely known as the king of fruits because of their distinctive large size, unique odour, and formidable thorn-covered husk. Some people say that the smell of durians are very pungent. But for me they have fragrant smell.

If you come to Kuala Lipis right now, durians are sold everywhere. Durians season is coming to our town. Durian dah berbuoh!!

Medan Stesen

this place used to be a happening bus station in Kuala Lipis.
