weekend updates (2)
I just came back from the library
currently taking a short break in my room.
Anyway, earlier when I was in the prayer room having my lunch, I happened to meet two Muslim guys from the Middle East, one from Iran and the other one from Iraq. The funny thing is that I was trembling while I was eating and chatting with both of them. Erm.. trembling is indeed a too strong word, but generally I was feeling uneasy while I was surrounded by them, so I ate as fast as I could and left that Iraqi guy eating all alone by himself. HeHe.
Haihhh.. I tried so hard not to be prejudice against others, but it proved that it is not that easy to do so. For heaven sake they are my Muslim brothers, but still I have no idea why must i feel uneasy and a bit scared when I was with them. And they certainly did not do anything that ought to make me feel uneasy, but still, just because they are from Iraq and Iran, I simply felt uncomfortable with that. I guess it was my subconscious mind who have already made the not-so-good impression on them and keep on telling me to stereotype all Iraqis and Iranians as the same - they are all extremist. That was why I decided to run away just now.And that is Sooooooo wrong.I guess I have to live in their shoes, only then I would be able to understand their situation better.
Hurrmm.. and now I feel guilty for what happened.

p/s : how far along are u in finishing your papers?
woi faisal..pergi prayer room utk semayang la..bkn utk lunch..ya allah..bler la ko nak taubat ni!!...anyho..gud luck exam k beb!
u judgemental whore! it's sinful to do that! to judge another muslim! faster go pray 100 times and read the quran 10 times! faster before u die faster!
and that's a fatwa from ustaz irzan :P maybe u can give another fatwa on transgender ustaz. hmm.
lol... kesian faisal.....
let's take it this way then ustaz irzan; he was pre-judging Arabs as a whole... =D
ehehehhe not Muslims... i guess that lessens the 'dam' doesn't it? ;p
hehe
that's okay
i guess ustaz nazri would probably do the same as what i did if he were to be in my situation
anyway
i met that person again today while walking to the library.he had this stare which really freaked me out. i hope he does not think that i am jews/infidels that he would want to kill.
=P
kidding lol
my exam is on wednesday
wish me luck ppl
=)
errgghhh...he didn't do anything apart from the stare...kesian dia...
xenophobic. and he has been talking about human rights. huh. oh yeah, faisal IS a malaysian, no wonder la. :P
oMg..
being a xenophobic and racist is two different things.
i am the former one.
i feel awkward being with strangers, but i am not that racist
=)
anyway dodo
aku pg prayer room not just to eat
but smyg skali lar ngong
:P
faisal abdullah bada tau semayang ke? hahahahahahahahaha.

xyah remain anonymous
u can just tell that straight to my face lar

haha. lupe plak. ceh. tak menjadi la.
ok ok. aku buat lagi skali.
faisal abdullah bada tau semayang ke?
hahahahahahahahaha
heh,quite disappointed with you lar. i thought u r da one yg slalu remind me not to be prejudice against others.i have many iranian and iraqi friends here (they are truly nice ppl),tapi xtau arr if perangai diorng kat sini ok, kat sana kureng.hehe.
faisal,it's ok 2b careful with strangers but it's really wrong 2 stereotype ppl based on their ethnicity.. :p
but i know you'll learn from this mistake.whutever pun,gudluck 4 ur exam,ok
=)
okay
shall not repeat the same mistake again
=)
hey hey i won't do the same ok! i'll just sit there and have a nice chat with them, enjoying each and every moment while offering them red label shots. haha.
by the way, according to ihab, there's no moderate, simple or extreme muslims. there are just none! according to him too, it's like action potential, ALL OR NOTHING.
what's your comment?
izin laluan yg b'hormat...
ntahler x pahamler aku member2 aku nie... keste x baik ko... nak kenakan faizal abdullah bada nie ajakle aku skali... x best la sorg2... wahaha... hontoni sumimasen...
