Salam to my Muslim family and friends! Hope you're enjoying your Ramadhan!
Hello to all who love peace! Hope you're enjoying your August!
My name is Nurul Huda. I'm a Muslim (religion) Javanese-Malay (race) Singaporean (nationality). I'm studying full-time at the University of Newcastle, Australia based in Singapore. That's because I can't afford to study in Australia so I'm learning at their Singapore campus.
Fasting is good till todayh, I guess the situation or mood, I am sad, I think I wasted my time today. I hope Allah forgives me, I talked too much, I hope I will be better in future.
Salam
The HIGHEST accomplishment I can achieve in this worldly life is to be a TRUE MUSLIM. (me)
You've been to Singapore? It's clean because nobody wants to pay a fine for littering. It's also peaceful because the schools here are made to teach racial and religious harmony. They call it National Education. *shrugs*
Cheer up, Sister!
"If happiness comes to the Mu'min's, they should make Shukr and this is good for them, if sadness comes to be the Mu'min's lot , then they should exercise Sabr and this is good for them." (Hadith Muslim)
May you find patience to cope with your sadness, Sister!
I am so surprised to meet a Javanese in Singapore in this forum. I am a Javanese too but I am living in Sundanese region, Bandung, and I can't speak Javanese.
Singapore is green and clean because nobody wants to pay fine littering. And the first sentence that heard by Indonesian people when they arrive in Singapore is "Remember ! this is Singapore, not Indonesia ! do not littering or you will be fined !"

Terima kasih, Mas Erdianto! Nggak apa apa kot. Saya sendiri nggak bisa bicara Bahasa Jawa. Saya cuma tahu sedikit saja Bahasa Indonesia kerna saya dulu asyik menonton sinetron seperti Hikmah, Dia, dan Cinta Fitri.

Salam Alaikkum,
Yes we were there on May this year, if I was not mistaken it was election time in Geylang and I was so amazed by the peace of election, we were also in Malaysia before that and really nice countries to visit. I love Malaysia too, wow such a lovely Muslim country. May Allah bless you all.
I couldnt believe you people are so civilized, Masha Allah, nobody cheat on the bus or taxi (lol bcoz its monitored by CCTV? lol), that's nice to learn your country, I am honored, inshallah we will have more Singaporeans in IB, i hope you would invite your Brothers & Sisters to join. i joined here like end of May and my intention was to pray for fajr (I am new Muslim-still new becoz my knowledge is less but i am like 1.3yrs Muslim now alhamdollelah), learn Arabic, be a better wife & cook for husband, etc,,, well I did the 1st two and I still fail on the latter
LOOL
I talked alot, I told you something is wrong with me today,khalllass,,,, lol

Yes, it was our General Election and I attended the Opposition rallies! Lol! I am not afraid to admit that I don't support the ruling party. Mostly because their policies are causing quite a bit of trouble for Singaporeans now. But that's whole different story on politics. Let's not get there. Lol.
You should visit Geylang during Ramadhan! They lit up the entire Geylang... kinda like Christmas lights at Orchard only more Eid instead of Christmas-y. Lol. And there's the annual Geylang bazaar held every Ramadhan. Come shop! Come shop! Lol!
We can't cheat on the bus and taxi because all the fares are already set by the government. Plus, you'll be fined if you don't pay your fare. Singapore is all about fines! Hahaha!
Oh, wow! Keep up the good work! I'm a terrible Muslim myself that's why I try to learn AND practise as much as possible.
And psst! I hate cooking! >.<
Thanks for the heads up! Now I know who to refer to for technical assistance!

Yes, the general category for those languages are Malay. Bahasa Malaysia (including dialects in Kelantan, Penang, etc.), Bahasa Indonesia (including dialects such as Javanese, Sundanese, etc.), Bahasa Melayu (Singapore), and Bahasa Melayu (Brunei) are the ones that are most similar though.

Salam Alaikkum,
Thanks for the info about language.
Was there a rally? yeah i remember there was a little gathering on tv,,, it looks so quiet lool
No here in Mid East you should negotiate first before riding to taxi, they are sooo greedy.. I hate it, while in Singapore if your charge is 1.955, they will return the 5cent lool
anyway...
Yes Singaporeans has good mentality, I saw in tv 5yrs ago that one of your leader explain why Singapore bans smoking in public etc, she said that "Freedom does not means you can do anything in public, freedom means you should partipicate in growth of your environment and avoid negative contribution to live freely, in safe and good place" bad english, it was something like that lool
and thanks for the invite, I would love to, but this time I had enough I think, I shouldnt trvel more when I didnt go to Mecca yet, I wanted to go for Umrah or Hajj inshallah and besides we missed ME immediately hehehe, we walked alot, we save lots of penny for transportation, 1day we walk 10hrs, 8hrs, 6hrs, etc.. our month vacation was full of walking so i couldnt move my ankle during the last 5days in singapore lol
I am still terrible, but its big improvement to me, way back when I was Christian, I go to church once in 3yrs or the like and I only pray when I wanna die or I have problem, now oh alhamdollelah, alhamdollelah trillion times (im not good in math, whats next to trillion PLS ), may Allah guide me to the right path till end, all in Allah's will. and my prayer is same to for you, May Allah love you forever, Amen

Hmm, my maths isn't good either. Lol! Maybe zillion?
Our rallies aren't very emotional. Once we get emotional and if security thinks a riot will start, they will arrest the political leaders at the rally... and once again, make them pay fines. Sighs.
The bigger rallies will be those by the Workers' Party (one of the Opposition parties) but they usually won't show it on TV as the government controls the media.
And yeah, there's no place like home.
I hope you will have better days ahead of you and I pray that you will be able to perform the Hajj one day, Insya-Allah.
