Dari Abu Darda’ ia berkata : “Rasulullah bersabda :”KELAK PADA HARI KIAMAT KAMU AKAN DIPANGGIL DENGAN NAMA-NAMA KAMU DAN NAMA-NAMA BAPA KAMU,OLEH KERANA ITU PERINDAHKANLAH NAMA-NAMA KAMU” (HR.Abu Dawud)
Nama saya adalah nama biasa..
kalau di sekolah dulu senior2 mesti cebikkan mulut bila diberitahu nama penuh saya..
"nama kampung"...komen biasa...
(ada aku kesah???hik hik)
yang pasti nya saya bersyukur kerana nama saya ada maksud yang baik..
semoga menjadi doa untuk diri saya..
tatkala dikurniakan cahaya mata..
seawal kandungan dikenal pasti jantina kami dah berbincang tentang nama...
bermacam cadangan..
perbincangan yang lama...makan masa berbulan..
heheh...
sehingga lah kami temui kata sepakat...
Ameenah pilihan saya sempena nama arwah nenek saya..
manakala Irdina pula cadangan saya yang dipersetujui oleh Incik Suami..
Irdina Ameenah..
untuk anak bujang..Umar pilihan saya sempena nama arwah datuk saya..
manakala Yazeed pula cadangan saya yang tak dipersetujui incik suami..
huh...haruslah saya terus cari padanan nama kedua untuk persetujuan Incik Suami..
akhirnya setelah beberapa cadangan, Zareef yang menjadi pilihan..
Umar Zareef..
Permata hati kami hanya sepasang..
jadi tiada gelaran along, angah, alang, acik atau ucu..
kami biasakan dengan panggilan nama..
kadang kala nama pertama..selalu juga nama kedua..
ada juga masa nya kami panggil nama penuh mereka...
Alhamdulillah secara tak langsung mereka tahu nama penuh mereka..
semoga nama yang kami panggil menjadi doa terbaik buat mereka..
pandangan peribadi saya :
apa guna bagi anak nama yang cantik..
kalau gelaran jugak jadi panggilan..
niatkan panggilan nama anak sebagai doa..
moga berperibadi mulia bagaikan bonda Rasulullah..
moga berani dan tegas mempertahankan agama bagaikan sahabat Rasulullah..
moga mereka jadi anak yang soleh dan solehah..
berjaya di dunia dan akhirat..
menjaga kehormatan agama, diri dan keluarga..

The Old Bugis Town of Balikpapan
by MKA,
So... this is Balikpapan, the second largest city in East Kalimantan after Samarinda. It is a port city I am no historian, therefore I don't know for sure where the hell the city got its name from. But from Malay translation, it could mean "the other side of a plank" or "behind a plank". The locals claim the name came from a story where a local king threw his newborn daughter into the sea to protect her from his enemies. The baby was tied beneath some planks that were discovered by a fisherman. Believe it or nor? Believe it!.
The city used to be an isolated Bugis fishing village until early 1900s before oil was discovered. The discovery of oil has transformed the village into a bustling city as what it is today. Other than Indonesian locals, there are also many Europeans, mainly French, living in this city. Most of them working in Petroleum Industry which is the main source of economic income for this city and the country as well.
To get here from KL, you need to transit in Jakarta. The flight from KL to Jakarta will take 2 hours and from Jakarta to Balikpapan is another 2 hours excluding time for transit. In reality, total one-way traveling time from KL to Balikpapan will be around 6 to 8 hours. Alternatively, you can also take a direct flight from LCCT to Sepinggan Airport by Air Asia. But there are only 3 flights per weeks.
Your visit will not complete without trying the local delicacies. Balikpapan is also famous with its array of seafood restaurants. But the best is to find a specialty restaurant. We went to a restaurant called Dandito which is a crab specialist (so called but seems legit). It is situated along Jln. Jen. Sudirman about 2 km from the Sepinggan Airport.
While in Balikpapan, we stayed in Novotel Hotel. Normal rates is around 100+ USD. Cheaper than Novotel Airport Hotel in Bangkok which can go as high as 250 USD/night.

 |
 |
| This road is leading to the city's main road Jln. Jenderal Sudirman. Don't get confused with Jln. Jenderal Sudirman in Jakarta which named after the same person. |

 |
| Crab cooked with some kind of spicy sauce. We ordered female crab with eggs. If you prefer a bigger crab, you can opt for male crab, of course without eggs. |
 |
| Vegetables cooked with "cumi" an Indonesian word for squid. |
 |
| I cannot disclose the name of these two guys, but they are not bad guys. |
 |
| Travelling around by a chartered taxi. |
 |
| All these eaten by the monstrous guys. |
 |
| Time to get back to Jakarta. This is the main entrance of Sepinggan Airport. Next to this (not in the picture) a new airport building being constructed which will be completed in 2014 or 2015. It will be a really huge airport, probably bigger than Batu Berendam, Melaka. |
While in Balikpapan, we stayed in Novotel Hotel. Normal rates is around 100+ USD. Cheaper than Novotel Airport Hotel in Bangkok which can go as high as 250 USD/night.
 |
| The restaurant closed at 11pm, but I felt hungry later than that, which means I have to call the room service to order food. The food on the flight seemed to be not enough and its the time for proper dinner meal. I ordered a fried rice called Balikpapan Special Fried Rice served with Beef Satay, prawn and chiken. |

Sama Rasa
Dalam rumah ni hanya saya sorang yang sukakan capsicum..
Selain banyak khasiat capsicum / lada benggala ini..rasa nya juga sedap..
Lada benggala mempunyai rasa tersendiri dan rendah kandungan potasium.
Lada benggala merah juga kaya dengan vitamin C,A,B6,asid folik dan serat menjadikan ia makanan yang mampu menyihatkan buah pinggang anda.
Selain itu, kandungan likopen,sejenis antioksidannya juga baik dalam membantu mencegah kanser. Bagi mendapatkan manfaat nutrisinya secara maksimum,ia sesuai dimakan mentah atau dengan pencicah atau dibuat salad bersama isi tuna atau ayam.
Lada benggala juga boleh dijadikan penambah perisa di dalam sandwich atau hidangan sayuran."
Oleh kerana susah sangat nak bagi anak- anak makan lada benggala ni..hari ni saya decide masukkan dalam masakan..jadi..sy blend lada benggala dengan bawang merah..jadi rencah untuk masak lemak sardin..
haaa...baru lah sama rasa...
heheh...

The new Boeing 737-800 by Garuda Indonesia
by MKA,
I have made a post about the new MAS B737-800 over a year ago click here. Today I have just experienced the new B737-800 by Garuda Indonesia. This is one of the four new B737-800 addition to its fleet.The aircraft which was received by end of 2012, was used primarily for domestic flight and short haul regional destination.While it is a typical B737-800, but the in-flight entertainment hardware may vary from airlines to airlines and for some cases it may also vary from one aircraft to the other which operated by the same airline. The only difference compared to the same model operated by MAS is this aircraft lacking of usb port on the entertainment panel. But this will not make much difference though. As part of the "image overhaul" effort by the Indonesian flagship carrier, I could notice the level of service by the staff is so much better than MAS, sorry to say. Even in this flight which is a domestic flight. Well, one can argue that, quality of service is very objective thus the conclusion made by this may not be the accurate benchmark for comparison, but think about it, the spoon, fork and knife in MAS economy class are plastic, while Garuda are metal. Can you see the difference???
