Photography: Tower Bridge


Tower Bridge was built in between 1886–1894, which crosses the River Thames in London. It is perhaps the most iconic symbol of London, located near the Tower of London. These are the two pictures that I managed to capture, during daylight, as well as at night.

 Picture of Tower Bridge with Olympic rings that I captured back in 2012. London was the host city for 2012 Olympics Games at that time.


Spectacular view of Tower Bridge at night, captured on 22nd November 2014, from the other side of the River Thames.

Formula untuk Penuntut Ilmu

Gambar hiasan: Ar-Raheeq Al-Maktum, antara buku Sirah Rasulullah SAW yang paling sahih..

Untuk menjadi penuntut ilmu yang baik, seharusnya kita gunakan formula ini:

"Tidak semua perkara yang kita pernah dengar atau belajar itu betul, dan tidak semua perkara yang kita tidak pernah dengar itu salah."

Jika datang seseorang memberitahu kita akan sesuatu yang baru dengan dijelaskan hujah & faktanya, tapi ia bercanggah dengan apa yang kita tahu selama ini, usahlah terus melenting. Sebaiknya semak & amatilah hujah yang beliau sampaikan.

Tidak salah meminta kepastian, tapi usahlah beria mempertahankan apa yang kita pernah belajar dalam buku pada zaman sekolah rendah atau sekolah menengah berbelas atau berpuluh tahun dahulu. Lebih teruk jika apa yang kita 'belajar' itu tiada sumber dalam mana-mana buku, mungkin sekadar dengar daripada individu tertentu.

Jika tidak mahu menerimanya, maka teruskanlah dengan apa yang kita yakin, asalkan ianya ada asas & hujah yang kukuh. Cuma harus diingat, kualiti amalan (dalam agama) dinilai berdasarkan sejauh mana dekatnya amalan tersebut dengan apa yg Rasulullah & para sahabat lakukan.

Ilmu itu berkembang dan bertambah. Dan kita sentiasa wajib menuntut ilmu secara berterusan. Ia tiada noktah.

Photography: The London Eye at Night


The London Eye, one of the iconic landmarks and a symbol of modern Britain. It is also known as the Millennium Wheel, but this name is perhaps less known to many people. The London County Hall is right behind the wheel, while Hungerford Bridge lies next to it, crossing the River Thames. The picture was captured from Westminster Bridge at around 10pm, 1st Nov 2014.



Updated: Another picture captured on 6th Dec 2014..

Photography: Autumn in My Heart



Autumn in Kensington Gardens, London (1st Nov 2014). It was in fact at the end of the season, and winter will be coming soon. This could be my final autumn in the UK (well, as a student..)
