divide money

Thank to Allah. We have done with money changing matter in Kuala Lumpur last friday. For RMB (yuan in china), Bank of China in Plaza OSK, just nearby Ampang Park LRT Station is the best place for us. In China, there are a lot of fake money problem, that's why we choose to exchange money at bank. For Hong Kong Dollar (HKD), we change at mall in KL.
The most important tip in changing money is to look at the money rate. Actually the rate changed everyday.

We are on the go

Today is 8 January 2011, this means we are left with 3 days before our flight to Hong Kong International Airport. Most of us are excited and cannot wait to begin our journey exploring the beautiful of Islam in other countries/

We have been busy and busy doing our preparation in terms of places, language barrier, safety tips, and many others. I do not know how much prepaid has been spent but that really show how committed we are in turning this first ever event in UTP a success. InsyaAllah.

We have finalised our tentative which I think took about 3 to 4 days to make it. You see how difficult is doing all this work, especially when our only source is the internet. This is what we called the world at the end of your fingertip. However, we still cannot  rely too much on it, but still hope that the pictures on the net truly represent the places that we will be visiting. InsyaAllah.

Yesterday, our Muslimat went to KL to change our fund from RM to HK Dollar and Chinese Yuan because the stock money in Ipoh has ran out. This is a challenge to us. Later, I will share with you all about our tentative. 

Wish us all the best!

Doing such complicated work such as find the detail location and direction on the map and etc, cannot be done alone. Do it in group, or else, you'll quit when you face difficulties in your work. OK. Keep on following our blog till the end of this trip. Bye. Assalamu'alaikum.

a week more to go

Time flows very fast. It's 3rd January today, it means, there 8 days more before we depart from Malaysia. Still a lot of works in progress. We are still finding the best hotel/guest house for accommodation there. Calling to Hong Kong, Shenzen and Guangzhou, just to get the best price. Some can speak English very well, but some are really hard to understand what we say.
I still remember i was asked this question, "Can you speak Mandarin?"..
 I replied, " So sorry, I just can speak English".
Maybe today or tomorrow, we'll book the hotel/ guest house.
