Matta Fair: Looking for Flights

I went to the Matta Fair yesterday to look for flights to Europe for the end of the year vacation. I went there on the off chance that the prices might be cheaper than what was being offered online. 

This is what I discovered: the Matta Fair is probably a better deal if you're looking for travel packages (i.e. hotel + flights). If you're like me and on the hunt for only flights, my advice is it is better for you to advoid the crowd at the Matta fair and instead stay home and chill out in front of your computer and just book your flights online as flights are NOT cheaper at the fair. In fact, if anything at all, they can turn out to be more expensive (go figure!).

The Importance of being Informed

The three year old YouTube video of the dog trainer walking her dogs in the morning of Eid, cleaning the dogs' feet when they get home before cleaning her own feet and later having cookies with the dogs has made many Muslims in Malaysia angry. They say that the video is insulting to Islam but is it really?

Everything put on this planet by Allah prostrates to His will (animals included) and are therefore Islam. Being kind to animals, dogs included, is a part of being a good Muslim. Dogs are loving creatures. They are not the problem... our lack of understanding is. 

Paperbacks

I love the feel of a paperback in my hand. Ebooks, while convenient, just doesn't give me the same feeling.

Pagi Raya Aidil Fitri

Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri Ayah. Ida mintak ampun Ayah. It's been four years (I only know this because Ita mentioned it). I have lost count of the number of years. I don't want to think of the number of years that you have left us. Pagi Raya is just not the same without you, Ayah. I miss you dearly.

Ayah

Happy Father's Day Ayah... I miss you terribly. I wish I had told you "I love you" more often when I could. You are always in my thoughts.
