Assalamualaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh,
Yes, I went to Paris last week for a conference but didn't have the time to blog, sorry. Alhamdulillah, everything went well. A sister in London whom I met only twice helped me to contact a French sister who kindly let me stay at her house for FREE for my whole time there. May ALLAH reward them all. Another French sister brought me around Paris and organised a dinner with a group of sisters, mashaALLAH, they are all so nice. I met a group of Malaysians too there. The best part was that I get to enjoy halal French & Italian cuisine which I didn't get while I was in Greece. On my way back on Eurostar, I also get to have halal meal! Can't believe how much the muslims have done in the non-muslim world.
On my way back to Cambridge, I stayed a night in London and my friend brought me around London. This was the first time I have ever walked around London doing sight-seeing like a tourist who has never been to London. Unfortunately, it was just a short visit and we encountered a parade, apparently to celebrate 'Gay Day'. While getting on the train to go back to Cambridge, I met a group of Cambridge sisters who went shopping in London, alhamdulillah, I have some companies on my journey home.
Seriously, without all these great sisters' help, I would have spending a lot of money for this trip. Their assistance includes:
1. A London sister suggested a French sister who is her housemate to help me regarding accommodation in Paris and in searching the conference location.
2. The French sister found me a sister who is willing to accommodate me for my whole stay in Paris. (And this sister just got married 2 days before I arrived!)
3. 3 sisters in London let me stay at their house the day before my departure to Paris and the day after my arrival in London so that I can get a cheap Eurostar return ticket.
4. A French sister brought me around Paris, showed me how to use the underground (Metro), organised a dinner with a lot of sisters, and basically be there whenever I needed anything or had any questions about Paris.
5. Another French sister who brought be around Paris to get what I want and sent me to the train station on my last day.
6. 3 Cambridge sisters who were on their way back to Cambridge helped me with my bags and accompanied me home.
Alhamdulillahi rabbil'alamin, that's all that I can say and may ALLAH reward them all.
Alhamdulillah
Alhamdulillah
I'm a muslim
And there's nothing else I wanna be...

Salam Fatin,
Alhamdulillah! Its nice to note of you having a great time in Paris.
Can't remember which verse actually, but it goes like this "Your true brothers and sisters are the believers in Allah s.w.t. and His Prophet, Muhammad s.a.w.".
Wassalam,
They are my true sisters, alhamdulillah.
Wassalam.
p/s: Malaysian politics has gone wild recently, can't really keep up with it everyday. Hope thing will get better and clearer soon.
Salam again Fatin,
My apologies; as I deleted my last entry, you put in a comment. And it was your funniest comment yet. Sadly, it now lies somewhere in limbo.
As for Malaysian politics, we are now the laughing stock of the political world. The current state of affairs are a deliberate attempt by certain quarters, to create upheaval in order to enforce 'emergency' act, after failing to incite hatred amongst the citizens. There's so much going on now it is getting sicker by the day. May Allah strike those who have malicious intent, and help those who are striving to make things better.
May ALLAH save Malaysia from human-made disaster.
