ALLAH membuka mataku dunia ini kecil
Tapi sekecil dunia ini ada ramai kawan
Kawan yang cukup baik hati
Senyum, gelak tawa, belanja makan, tunjuk jalan, masak sama2...
Internet, burn pics, tgk citer Berlari ke Langit,
Guna Eurail and Britrail untuk merantau naik pelbagai jenis keretapi
Setingkat, dua tingkat, komuter, underground (tube)...
Kenal lebih mendalam pasal kengkawan
Stories of the past, current and what to come...
Indahnya perjalanan ini...

Yang paling best, dapat belajar banyak perkara dari sahabat semua... banyak kompleksiti yang dapat dirungkai dan terjawab, banyak perkara yang dipelajari, mengenal gaya hidup dan budaya masyarakat di pelbagai tempat, melihat tahap kesedaran sivik yang tidaklah sebagus mana.... Alhamdu liLLAH, inilah yang dikatakan menyahut seruan Ilahi untuk berjalan dan melihat dan berfikir akan apa yang kita dapat dari perjalanan yang kita telah musafiri. Kata al-Imam Hassan al-Banna (ke Saidina Umar, konfius which one) "Untuk mengenal saudaramu, kamu perlu berjalan mengembara bersamanya." Yes, indeed it's really true! Not only those who travelled with me, but also those I met and visited, I'd learned lots about ya all and indirectly learnt about ma self too!

Ah, indah sungguh pengalaman untuk hari-hari yang berlalu sepanjang aku hidup di dunia asing, belajar menyebut Bonjour, Bonjourno, Bonswaar, Bonnenetto, Exkezemua, Miskuzi.... selain bahasa asing yang takde la banyak dipelajari tapi aku belajar satu benda yang cukup berharga, jangan berat mulut untuk bertanya walaupun aku pernah dimarah di Paris sebab aku tak paham bahasa Perancis, tapi it's all experience to me seeing and being in the foreign worlds... syukur dan syukur selayaknya to the almighty ALLAH for showing me and letting me lots of things!!!
