[[ here goes... updates for year 2008 ]]

it took me 10 months to update this weblog.. i was tied down abit with other more important things..

at last, i did find the time to be glued to the computer for hours, just to fill in this part..

this may be my last time updating events in mansoura.. i will retire soon inshaAllah.. i wont be in mansoura anymore.. my studies here for 4 years has ended.. finally! alhamdulillah..

and so i preserve some of the wonderful & scary memories here in this weblog.. other bad memories will only stay in my mind.. for i never intend to expose any aibs thru the internet or to anybody..

for the meantime, this weblog will be the source of info about living & studying in mansoura until there is another mansourian who is more creative appears and continues with a different approach in giving out updates on the singapore students in mansoura.. that person may build another weblog or even a website.. wallahu'alam..

at this opportunity, i would like to apologise for any mistakes in giving out infos & updates in this weblog..

also, forgive me dearest mansourianz if i have not assisted you well throughout my role as the mandubah in mansoura.. i did try my very best to satisfy every party.. believe me, its not that easy..

and lastly, wishing all the best to the next new generation of mansourianz.. May Allah grant you STRENGHT & PATIENCE in upholding the teachings of Islam lillahi Ta'ala & only for His Redha.. :)

[ mansourianz performing for muslimah day in cairo ]

we would like to thank our sisters in cairo, the organisers of muslimah day for inviting us to perform.. initially we didnt want to coz we had no idea on what to perform.. but for frens' sake, we agreed to give it a try ;)

so for only a week, we practiced.. we came up with a song, taken from mawi's song but we changed the lyrics abit.. so it sounded like this..

kami pelajar alazhar. kuliah di mansoura
jauh kita dari semua kawan. sedih berjauhan~
tapi kita cuba tahan. dan juga sesuaikan
hidup di mansoura. utk ijazah dalam genggaman~

aku sedar~ siapa diriku. aku dah tahu~ apa hadafku~
aku sedar~ dan merasa mahu~
aku sgtlah mahu~ pencarian ilmu~

sungguh!
langsung tak pernah marah walaupun sekali seakan memahami
langsung tak pernah kesal dgn ketentuan, menjaga pahalaku
lansung tak pernah sedih menunjukkan benci pada bi'ah disini
buatku tak pernah akan pernah menyesal menuntut ilmuNYA
biarpun PENUH DUGAAN~~~
lalalalalalalalalalalala~~~~

and also, we did a sketch.. its called nur ukhuwwah fillah.. its interesting.. must i tell the whole story?.. fuh, my fingers are tired.. i dont plan to type it all.. if u wanna know, juz ask anybody who had watched the sketch on that day.. that, if they remember :D

and yeah we did abit of dancing.. we juz love to dance.. its a pop yeye dance for that muslimah day.. but we can do more~.. ;) seriously..

[ bazar asean in mansoura ]

every year the malaysian student body in mansoura (dpmm) would organise a bazar.. there would be stalls selling books & food.. and every year the singaporeans in mansoura would only be consumers.. we wouldnt miss it.. coz there're lotsa fooooood.. varieties.. but we're not fat ok.. alhamdulillah..

but this year (2008) we juz felt like renting a stall.. we felt like selling instead of buying.. and so we did.. we got ourselves a stall and a list of food to sell.. we came up with shabsuka, mashed potato, fruit chocolate fondue, custar wrap, roti john & macaroni..

so, how did we fare.. alhamdulillah, not so bad for amateurs.. its a 3days bazar.. we made a huge loss on the first day but after a thorough observation, some fast calculation & abit of business skill, we revived on the second day and made a quick profit on the third day.. and what's the secret to that?!?.. seriously i forgot.. sorry..

but from start, our main intention was to test our skills in business.apart from that, we wanted to strenghten our bond by giving cooperation & support towards each other in this shared business.. and lastly, we needed the money for gamaah :D

by the way, our stall was given the name, wehdah singapore..

[ Outing with frens from alex & cairo ]

once in awhile we had frens from alex & cairo coming over to mansoura.. we would show them around mansoura.. if they stayed longer, we would bring them to dumyat or port said which are quite near to mansoura..

port said is like a shopping heaven (for clothes).. cheap stuffs.. at times branded but not original.. lotsa seafood there.. u must know how to go about inorder to find good stuffs there..

as for dumyat.. its where u can find majma' bahrain, where the river meets the sea.. thats the end of the long stretch of river nile.. its awesome really.. river meets sea & both dont overlay each other.. i alwiz feel like scuba diving & go in between em'.. but havent got the chance to do so..

[ Birthday celebrations ]

some of us celebrated our birthdays in egypt.. specifically in mansoura.. as each mansourian's birthday got closer, the other mansourianz began to crack their brains..

first : on what birthday gift should we get her.. we began doing research on what item she has her eyes set on recently.. or her item of interest..

second : finding a good & affordable place to dine-in on her birthday or finding good food..

third : brainstorming for a creative way to celebrate her birthday..
