live fashion love music

first and foremost: Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah i'm done with term two ID!!! finish one semester. less than two years to go. the feeling is indescribable. as long as i havent submitted my works to the lecturers, hati belom boleh menangis kegembiraan and kesyukuran, only can nangis kebingungan and ketensionan. the minute i handed them all over, there were fireworks bergabung and meletup in the heart, and yes i did cry one or two tears of happiness. Alhamdulillah :')) marilah kita menyanyi bersama dahulu sebelom i start rambling in this bahasa rojak entry..

Alhamdulillah.. pujian bagi Allah
Subhanallah.. maha suci Allah
Allahu akhbar.. Allah maha besar
segala puji hanya bagi Allah

bila dipuji kejayaan kita
sebenarnya bukan milik kita
oleh itu sedarlah sentiasa
semuanya dari Allah

[ haaaaaa! ingat sik lagu ya? i love Raihan's songs! their lyrics are super catchy. sangat sesuai untuk nembiak kecik nak belajar nak ngapal the basic vital bits of Islam. another song i always have in my head is lagu 25 Rasul, singing it is the way i memorise all the 25 names :) ]

so, i've been meaning to write an entry bout me going to the Yuna vs. Hana event like right after i got back home from it. TAPI!! 1-final submission in a week (then)!! ; 2-malas. maseh super excited (then) sampei tangan trembling dont know what to write. ewah! ; 3-naaahh. only 2 reasons. hehe


my main aim and reason to go to the event was to watch Yuna perform. as i told you guys before, i've been waiting and waiting and waiting for Yuna's next performance. i missed quite a number before. her album launching, her performance in Aswara; and Yuna vs. Hana was my next hope! TAPI! i didnt get to see her this time either. veryyy disappointed and heartbroken. for the record, i loike Yuna's songs. i love what she's doing for our local music industry. i admire her songwriting and her voice and her talent strumming the guitar, and i want to see her sing live as many times as i could. the last time i watch her performed live was at Urbanscape last year. though i sound like a fanatic fan, i dont really look forward into meeting her. macam, sik jumpa face to face salam salam pun sikpa. yang penting, i watch her sing hidup-hidup depan mata! paham? so, very the disappointed lah sikpat masok into the black box and watch her sing. i redha, masih bukan rezeki to watch Yuna perform.


there was a meet and greet session after Yuna performed and Hana showcased her designs. i think there were like 300-400 people there at the event, and everyone was lining up to take photos with the duo. me and my two friends didnt want to join the line first, what we did? we bantai makan cupcakes and cakes that they served on the table. penuh jak mulut dgn chocolate cake, kakya kelakar ngan urang. sungguh tidak graceful -,-'' we havent had our lunch ok that day, and that was already around 5pm. all because we wanted to be there early to get in the black box tapi sik dapat juak. owh ya, sesat juak before that. pergi to the other Solaris. heh. nang dugaan ariya. nonetheless, i did take a couple of photos with Yuna. still, taking photos with her is not enough to compensate the loss of not watching her sing :(


about the crowd. there are tonnnnnes of beautiful ladies at the event. and 99% of them wear the hijab. for single men (yang belom ada gf SAHAJA!) yang nak mencari jodoh (para mak nak carik jodoh pakei anak boleh juak), mungkin boleh betemu ngan potential spouse di sini ya. haha tapi hati-hati, coz ada juak nak kacak cun melecun sebenarnya dah kawen and ada yang dah beranak pinak. but thats exactly my point, beautiful ladies with hijab at each and every corner you turn your head. i think you rarely found this kinda event elsewhere in Malaysia. and most of them dressed up very daringly almost like you're watching the girls in Upper East Side of Gossip Girls. yerdeh! some of the fashionistas are familiar, they are bloggers - fashionista bloggers - which i often stalk. hehehe for me lah, these bloggers which i usually see their photos only on my laptop screen, when meeting them in real life, macam jumpa artis jak. ekekekek macam malu-malu mok tegur. daknya famous, semua orang kenal. macam ya la lebeh kurang. kekekeke and because of my malu-ness, i didnt have the courage to greet them and ask if i can snap a photo with them. except for one! tok pun because macam dah terkantoi mala jak terjelin-jelin ngan nya. and sekali ya nya tertangga i menjelin nya. akakakak malu sik malu, tanyak jak la. nang dah malu pun. hehehe so this is Pka!


rasanya i only saw her face a few time which is very minimal counts, tapi sekali tangga terus ingat muka nya. krana, sejujurnya nya cute. haha i think i kinda have a girl crush on her. ahaha and it is very sweet of her to publish our photo on her tumblr. check out this frenzy girl pronto! Pka, if you're reading this, talking to you is my highlight of the day. not even taking photo with Yuna can top it up! :D kan i said i have a girl crush on her.

(source: countthethread.)
check out her outfit.
ps: we've got the same shoes (in diff shades)! :D

so i guess thats my summary of the event. mun ada papa i ter-ingat balit klak which i want to share, i will add up later on lah k! for more photos of the beautiful hijabis, feel free to visit countthethread. i think her photos best explain the crowd. (sebenarnya malas mok carik blog lain yang ada photos as good. or maybe she's the only one. hmmm) all in all, it was an exciting event, and one good experience for 2010 closing :)


till then, i have a flight to catch in 3 hours. havent sleep yet tonight, coz excited nak blogging coz dah lamak sikda entry (bak kata Apiz) and dah lamak tangan berbulu nak write an entry bout this. now i better wake everybody up so rumah ini ada sedikit kamboh i nak ke airport. ngahahaha! (harus ngereco sikit lekak abis sigek semester!)

long overdue love story


Friday, 10.12.10 :

i was in the bookstore today
i was damn sure you were not with me
cause i came alone
but somehow i could smell your perfume
i thought to myself, someone else here must have worn the same brand as you
and then i sensed it again
i looked around
no one just passed by, especially not you
just the same people standing nearby - same bunch of women
i continued reading
again, i sensed it
i tried to get closer to the person next to me
in case she was the one who sent those scent to my nostrils
nope, not her
i moved to another station
and then i think your scent was following me
i kept looking back as i smell the familiar fragrance of yours
wondering if you were really there
creepily, i was walking alone
i tried to smell my clothes in case i was fooling myself all along
na-ah, not that either
at some point i wished i see you smiling cheekily standing not far waiting for me to find you
but you're not random like that
so i just settled for it to be a cute mystery yet unsolved

oh, how much i missed you...

handful of cuteness on a dreadful yesterday

about yesterday. i took the last flight from Kuching to KL. the red eye flight. my flight was initially to board at 950pm, but air asia being air asia, the aircraft only arrived at 10pm. and it only took off at around 1035pm. so there goes the precious 45 minutes. slight turbulence now and then. i think i was awake throughout the flight, but before i could fell into a deeper slumber, we touched down in KL 20 minutes early. i rushed to the bus platform, and waited in the bus for another 20 minutes before it pushed off. pfft! and then there's trouble with my mobile phone. it rang a few times but i cant press any of the buttons!!!! ergh!!! and also, there's no caller ID on display!!!! errrrrrgghhhhhhhhhh!!!! huh hah huh hah *breath in breath out* the person who sat next to me must be wondering why i didnt pick up the phone and let the sound pollute the entire bus. haha and approximately at 1.30am, text messages came gushing like water just released by a dam. ahah i received more than 10 sms' between seconds. dating back from 24th Nov til current time. the texts are like 2 days back, and i missed ALOT of information! i missed my friend asking for a meet up; i missed my mom leaving me a note in the morning; i missed my mom saying i didnt have to pick her up; i missed my friend saying she also didnt attend the class last week so she doesnt know whats the new task and i kept on bugging her with new texts; and i missed my friend's invitation to her house :( i dont know whose fault is it. the service provider, or my snail phone. plus i was in the same flight with unis students going back to their hometown for the semester break holiday. i guess they were too excited to come home that they pushed people while they walked and talked loudly like airport ya bapak daknya pun. huh i was seriously not in the mood last night. even Awal Ashaari's presence in the same flight meant nothing. he literally stopped next to my row (in the cabin) waiting for the queue to move, but i malas want to usha his pretty face, and i proceeded to adjusting myself to a good sleep-sitting position. not in the mood okay. ahah! (second time meeting Awal in random places this year!)

and then i woke up this morning to another few delayed text messages. pffft!!

but somehow, this brought smile to my face yesterday:

 a handful of kittens!
*second from left dah sendat nyawa nya*

ps: i still suck big time at goodbyes :'(

whole again

i could feel my chest crushing my heart to pieces that i almost black out when i found out about it. i cried for hours. and i thought to myself, how could i go to sleep with this thing on my mind and this pain in my chest.

and then i came across this video. and i am reminded that someone loves me no matter what, long before i was born. Subhanallah.


اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ

light headed

Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha~

so there is this cute thing happened last night at the airport in KL while i was scanning my luggage bag. a short conversation between me and an elderly immigration officer who looks like your typical eldest uncle a.k.a Pak Long a.k.a Wa Laki. seriously. lets call him Pak Wa ok? combination Pak Long and Wa Laki, bukan pakwe as in boyfriend. lalu nak ingat 'pakwe = boyfriend' takorang tok. westernised ada jak ;p
 
Pak Wa: ni nak balik eh?
me: *nodding head*
Pak Wa: balik mana?
me: Kuching.
Pak Wa: ooo. orang Kuching la ni?
me: haa.
Pak Wa: orang Kuching? betul ni orang Kuching?
me: ha'a betul orang Kuching.
Pak Wa: auk lah. auk. orang Kuching cakap auk.
me: hahaha ok. aok. aok.

satisfied with my answer, he ran off to another scanning station, just like that :)

so in the spirit of being a Kuchingite, watch this! :



in the spirit of raya, watch this! :



in the spirit of spreading happiness, watch this! :



in the spirit of gasping in awe, watch this! :



in the spirit of love, watch this! :



have a meaningful eid friends :)

a dedication, with love

that morning i woke up earlier than other usual Sunday. i got up and opened up two birthday cards from back home which was mailed to me two days earlier. tears welling up my eyes as i read the words of my parents (how i missed them so much!!) and the cute handwritings of my little sister.

at 9am, i was already on the road heading to my auntie’s place to pass some stuff to bring back to Kuching. i didnt know driving in KL - around BB area - on a Sunday morning could be so relaxing and refreshing. minus the usual traffic congestion, minus black smokes produced by buses and lorries, plus Sunday morning sunshine, it almost feels like driving in Kuching at 7am on a Sunday morning (huh! ada time gap paduhal these two places).

and then i remembered Sheila saying bout having your own me-time on your birthday. so i head to the coffee shop and get myself a big breakfast all by myself. that was already around 1030am - and people here in KL viccinity is STILL having their breakfast. if in Kuching, people is already bustling in and out of Sunday market. even if there are those in the coffee shops, you would see bags of groceries under their table or shopping bags with colourful fruits seated next to them. but people here semua muka fresh lepas mandi sipping their coffee and tea. seriously lah these KL people ada lambat 2 jam.


after a happy hour of having brunch reading a fashion magazine konon-konon stylo, Apiz and i met up and we were all geared up to do flying fox in KL Tower! its like a feast of fireworks in my heart  and tummy when i walked up to the registration counter. and as i filled in the form and sign it off, i said to myself 'am i really doing this??' i started having sweaty palms and feet. and in my case, i get EXTRA OVER sweaty palms and feet when i am too anxious. cause i get sweaty palm and feet allllll the time even in an air-conditioned room. and at one point when we were walking towards the platform, i confessed to Apiz 'tuija mok polah bungee jump, tok pun dah cuak. boleh sik sikmok polah??' HAHAHAHAHA well, that was just a conversation to fill in the time gap ok :P :P :P there were four other jumpers that day besides me and Apiz, so they all went first, and Apiz went last. so kira terre la kamek nak, to go before Apiz. its like 'Apiz, tangga Aten polah giney ahh. iboh takut.' yerrdeh! haha the best part was we got to do two jumps each so the first one was kind of a trial jump, and the second one you already know the drill and you can enjoy it without constantly thinking 'whats going to happen next?'



bungee jump vs. flying fox:
in my thought, for my birthday this year, it HAS to be something different AND i dont want to be dependent on other people to make it happen. as the miracle date - 24th October - fall perfectly on a Sunday, i made plans as early as January. they include: bungee jump in Phuket, exploring Bangkok, and fall in love once again for Singapore. those are the many plans which i juggled about to pick out which is the best. but those plan also come with one very big problem. i need a travel mate. i cant go if i dont have anyone going with me. for all you know my dad would be keeping my passport in the safe box with 16-digit security password, or bury it in the ground next to our 'pandok ground' or he might just feed the crocodile with it. oh no over exaggeration happens. so i cant find someone who can go to those places with me on the said date. everyone else has their own schedule to keep up with, and i myself was also busy with assignments and datelines (did not foresee this in January). and then i came across an information bout bungee jump is back in operation in Sunway Lagoon! yippy!! so i made new plan: to bungee jump on 24th October 2010 in Sunway Lagoon. i tried to talk Apiz into doing it with me. cause you'll get a certificate of bravery for doing the jump, and i want Apiz to have one with my birthday date on it. Apiz sik mok. i pleaded him with bambi eyes also he didnt want. he said he'll only take my photos and video of me jumping. and then i redha. and a couple of days before the big day, i told him i dont want to do the jump, cause he's not doing it. i want to do something fun together with him. so we opted to do the flying fox at Menara KL.

bungee jump gik Dear~

and then i went to meet up with my rebel mates back in UIA. we kinda have this routine to meet up for each others’ birthday even if its only for a slice of cake. doing meet-ups like this, its almost like a constant reminder that i will always have these beautiful people by me no matter what. thank you darlings!



and about the Mr. Gorgeous Instax. my new toy. my joy. my muse. i love you. i keep on finding reason to touch you even if i cant use you. apparently Semenanjung Malaysia is having a lack of stock on the film (surprisingly stock melambak in Kuching). so i cant play much with it, yet. out of the 10 films, lemme see, i only took two photos ok! the rests are by Apiz or total strangers. how lah. i want to be in the picture, have to ask someone else to take the photo right? :P





a very BIG thank yous and hearts and bubble clouds and kittens and all the nice things to Apiz Dearie for the cameraa!!~ :D :D :D yippy can i cry?

a very deer friend also gave me this cool bag which i cant stop using it now. i love the vibrant colour, the material, the just-nice size and of course the doll herself who gave it to me. but im scared if i use it too often then the colour would fade or it'll lose its natural texture and become slouchy and oh so many paranoia-of-using-too-much-of-a-beloved-thing-cause-i-dont-want-it-to-lose-its-original-quality-that-makes-me-fall-in-love-with-it-at-the-first-place. hah! oh and because of that paranoia, i like to take photos of my stuff (and keep some of them and never use them)! omg! i sound like a psychopath.


it was a happy birthday for me. in fact it was a happy birthmonth. Apiz did try make every living day of October feels like my birthday and it worked! thank you so much Love, for each and every little details you did (and did not do, esp on dinner night!). can i cry now?




even now, already half way through November, people are still wishing me belated birthday wishes, thank you all for the wishes and doa. may God bless your kindness with even greater kindness from Him. i am overjoyed!

tentang rambut

photo sense

my 15-minute little weekend project:

 thanks to Sheila who suggested it for hanging my instant photos!! :D i am super loving it. sometimes, i still surprise myself when i turned to this corner in my room and see these cute masterpiece hanging on the wall. hehehe :p (i am still amazed with the shadows on the wall formed by the photos. they just look unreal and photoshoped, but i swear i didn't!) well, i kinda stole the idea from a display unit in Ikea. not exactly stole la, they like lure you into liking the thingy but then there's a label dangling saying 'for display only. make your own!' apakah? so i made my own la. now i cant wait to take more instant photos and fill my room with more of these cuteness! :D

its's my sister's 12th birthday today. happy birthday Farhana~

this is a photo of a six-year old Farhana.
then,  lunch @ Holiday Inn, with her curly hair (inspired from me, then. haha i curled mine, and she wanted the same. miak kecik bah. how cute.), running around the restaurant wearing my pink sweatshirt (tuija nak, mok makei baju urang besar??), beaming ngegeh-ly as i chased her to take one good photo (even this turned out blur). one of my favourite photos of her! :D
Love you, doll~

wishlist

hola people~ October is coming to an end! how time flies pretty quickly when you're having so much fun! so far October has been treating me well. apart from me being bored to death on every Wednesday and Thursday, i redeemed them all on the weekends. weee~ new year is two months away folks. can you believe it? like really believe it?? seems like just last month i posted the entry on my wishlist for this year. and now, eight months later, lets see how the list is doing so far...

2010 wishlist:

1. BUNGY jump - not yet. but instead i did flying fox on my birthday! just to warm up and polished up skills on jumping off a platform! :D


2. go Bangkok - errr maybe next year, can?

3. learn how to ride motorcycle - still got two months to go :B

4. learn how to ride motorcycle before going to Bangkok - will update after #3 is achieved!

5. learn sewing - oh i forgot bout this. haha! oopss.

6. exercise regularly & be fit - errrrrrrrr not that regular, but i did get sweaty once in a while. i miss running. really, i do. i super love running. i used to run at Reservoir Park back in Kuching. but here, scared lah want to go running anywhere. maybe an in-house treadmill is the most appropriate solution, dont you think? ;p
7. stop asking useless invitations to those who seem careless - so far, i think i've avoided making such invitations.
8. learn to trust people more - sometimes i do, sometimes i forgot..

9. have a HAPPIER birthday - HAPPIEST!! will come up with an entry all bout me turning 24 soon! :D

10. study I.D. - TICK! TICK! TICK! :D :D :D


11. talk more to strangers - will continue doing so~
12. text less to Sheila, call more (sorry babe. i know how u hate texting. sometimes i forgot~) - errrm, uh-oh. cant lie here. Sheila might be reading and she'll know if i'm lying. i say, a balance of texting and calling kan Sheila?? sometimes i just wanna say something short, i text her, but then the conversation grew so ... erk.

13. make more people happy - please tell me if i'm making you sad instead of happy, ok!

14. BE HAPPIER MYSELF! - i am happier than i was a year ago, i am happier than i was in four months ago, i am happier than i was yesterday, i will continue growing happy! yippy!

lets top-up this list, can?

15. learn to put myself first, instead of thinking of pleasing others all the time (not being self-centered yea, just looking out for myself cause the real world gets uglier as your age adds up. cant really make everyone happy all the time. i wish i could. if everybody is happy, isnt it a happy world?! who knows the earth might change its shaped into a heart shaped earth! wow i'm crapping!)

you see my wish list is not really a material-wishlist. well thats because when i first wrote this down, i didnt quite understand the concept of a wishlist. poyo jerr~ haha so this is more like a spiritual-wishlist. but IF there is another wishlist that involves material, here goes:

1. instant camera - TICK! TICK! TICK! (been eye-ing the mini Instax 7s for so long~ until the wide version came out, and i got it for turning 24 on the 24th! yeay yeay yeay!)

2. bean bag!!!! - inilah kekaseh hati untok sekian lamanyaa~

3. baking oven - so i can bake cupcakes here in KL! oh, how i miss baking cupcakes :(

4. Golden Half

5. one of these outdoor chairs!! - i dont know where to put them, but i still want!


6. treadmill (refer above)

7. glass cabinet - so i can keep all my growing collection of cameras inside it~ 

so tadaaa!! you must've wished you did not just read my wishlist coz that means you are obliged to fulfill them!! haha

another birthday dinner tonight. i better get ready! toodles!

hari bersamanya

16 October 2010

it started out good. i was in a good mood all morning. i got to see the morning sunshine. morning sunshine makes me happy. morning sunshine gives me hope and somehow gives lead to a good day.

duo singing reggae happily on the street - street performers never failed to grab my attention most of the time. but it came the time when you are standing in a sea of people, busy people bustling from left to right, or just standing there blocking your path just to be part of the crowd; the time when you caved in from the world, when you feel misunderstood and hurt, when you think no one really gets you no matter how hard you try to let them in, the time when you only want to be all by yourself and cry your heart out for reasons you are not very sure of, but you want to cry anyways just for the sake of letting it out. yeah i felt that too today. but i got over it. i dont want my sensitive element to get in my way of a beautiful Saturday, so i did what i have to do to get over it.

come dusk, i am preparing myself to watch Eat Pray Love. it is the type of novel which i always see on the shelf in the bookstore which i also passed by without much anticipation.  judging the book by its cover, i assumed the book is dull and boring and for the a-little-bit-matured soul. as for the motion picture itself, i heard friends said its beautiful, its for the romantic soul, yet some say draggy, the story line is slow-paced and its long. i still have no intentions to watch it. judging the movie by its poster, Julia Robert eating some gelato on a bench next to some nuns, i think, 'okay thats eating and praying, i guess, then she'll fall in love and same yada yada stuff, and voila~ the end. just another love story'. and THEN, another someone said it was filmed in four different countries. and that caught my attention. just like that, i flipped my heart 180o and decided to watch it pronto. oh my weakness for places. thanks to Mym, i have easy access of buying last minute tickets on a busy Saturday! babe, you rock! :D though i came in the theatre i lil tad late, and i missed the introduction of Ketut, i am loving the movie so  so much i wanna watch it again (and again). it IS beautiful. it is NOT draggy for me. i am so loving the flow of it which carried me gracefully throughout the movie. i LOVE the food part the best :D watching Julia eating spaghetti makes me want to dash out of the cinema and get my own bowl of spaghetti (with meatballs!) and i dont know why but watching Liz making order in Italian language makes me want to read the book, so i can enjoy the food figuratively in my own leisure time. and yes, i assume the book elaborates more on the food (and i hope it tells how the food is being prepared as well, cause that is a super bonus point to help me imagine the food before my eyes). ok i am rambling bout food right now though i just ate. cant help it, food is just yummy. the only one thing i didnt agree was when Felipe talked Liz out bout not eating durian cause it taste like feet. durian is yummy too ok. so Liz's journey is not complete until she tries the durian. come back to Bali and eat durian ok Liz. ok now i'm rambling bout an imaginary sequel of Eat Pray Love on Liz coming back to Bali for Ketut's cremation and eating durian. well thats my story on falling in love with a movie.  and i was wrong to assume it is just another romantic love drama making its way on the silver screen. from the way i see it, it gets me thinking, it brings me to places, it pleasures my eyes with all the amazing places that i could only wish to go (for now), it treats my throat and tummy and make me vow to go food hunting even harder in the future! :D maybe also cause Apiz being awake for the entire movie makes it an enjoyable movie to watch :)

though i come home with a sore ankle, i'm glad i end it with SheilaOn7 -like song on the radio. (i think its So7, but i dont know if So7 has a new song, the singer just sound like Duta, and i miss Duta's singing. and their soothing songs.) that one completes the day :)

i just googled!! yes it is Sheila on 7! it's 'Hari Bersamanya'

everything that happened today, be it walking under the sun, singing to the cheerful song about girl meets boy on replay, taking photos with supersampler which i abandoned for too long thinking it was broken when i was the one who forgot how to load a film, hunting for Sarawak local delicacy in peninsular land, got carried away by mood swings, laughing my heart out at a story of dreaming bout a pig's snort, laughing my chest out on the ambition of being a forgetful futuristic guy, it is all worth it. each incident is worth the feeling. and now i am smiling with my liver :) :) :)

perception

confidence is always misunderstood as arrogance
opinions might be judged without listening
understanding seems impossible
impressions are made by the cover
ignorance is considered bliss
when you are actually in loss
the beauty inside remains concealed
individuality is far from being acknowledged
acceptance is tougher than you think it is
selfness prevails without second thought
hurtful words wounded the unhealed heart
we continue live life like it never happens
and yet you demand appreciation.

says who the world is fair? God who's governing the universe is, but the ungrateful human governing the system on earth isn't, and none would be. including you and me.

i got the chance to go to national Islamic Arts Museum recently. they are having special exhibition on jewelled arts of India in the Moghuls Dynasty. i guess we all know that India is famous with the production colourful accessories with colourful stones, gems and beads embeded on gold or silver, and they wear them too. but, the knowledge is not the same until you see the original piece with your own eyeballs. the masterpieces dated back in 16th & 17th century and surprisingly, they look so new that i have to ask someone else in the gallery if those are original or just miniatures. and once i found out that they are the original pieces, i started playing with my imagination. like the pendants and the rings are once worn by the emperors. and how the dagger was used to stabbed someone, and they used to have blood on it, but they cleaned it up and polished the stones until they are shiny. they are just too many jewelleries with so so so many beautiful design and colours on display. they even have gems like diamonds and jades embebeded on swords and shields, and they go killing people with it. it looks heavy though. i bet one small ring must value like 100million Ringgit Malaysia today, or more. but its funny that those jewelleries are mainly worn by men according to the paintings that somehow described the items. towards the end of the exhibition, there are these small stones with inscription on them. there is one which is very tiny, less than 3cmx3cm, and it has 12 inscriptions on it, in arabic calligraphy! my favourite was the red stone, if i'm not mistaken its a ruby, sized more or less 2x2cm and it has the Ayatul Kursi on it. imagined fitting the whole ayat on a stone that small. and the stones with inscriptions are all handcraft. that just blew me away!!



and then i moved on to the main gallery which is also the permanent gallery of the museum. this gallery allows you to take photos of the items but without flash. but i knew that fact too late so i missed the first half part of the gallery. but i did shot some photos on my favourites findings. so here goes:

 this is the Qur'an, originated from China, written in chinese calligraphy.

 
also from China, dated back in 12th-14th century. and for these original piece which dated back in the year 8 Hijrah, thinking that our prophet Rasulullah SAW was still alive then, really means something.

 5 juzuk of the Qur'an, also from China. my Chinese friend said, the cover reads 'The Faith Book'.

also from China, the juzuk of the Qur'an.

 these really caught me in awe. the cover is actually made from leather.

 the clothing during the Ottoman age.

 i instantly love this chest once i laid my eyes on it. its like a musical box with side's opening with many drawers, dont you think?

another many-drawer-chest.

 
and another one..

and this is one of the many domes in the museum. magnificent architecture! you must be standing under the dome to know the feeling it gives you.

 after this one i decided to have my own dome in my house. hehehe

i missed the Qur'an Manuscript and Architecture galleries though because we were rushing to go home :( maybe i'll visit it again one day. you people who wants to experience the glorious feeling of looking at the artifacts of the Islamic world, please do come to the museum too. and you people who want to see the Qur'an from other parts of the world, please do come too. they also have the Qur'an which is found in the Tanah Melayu, but i didnt get the chance to take the photo of it. just make sure you have one whole day dedicated to explore the galleries, and you wont regret it :)
