Life at Geelong 3

Once arrived at the apartment, I just fell asleep. Few hours later, I woke up to pray Zuhur, and went to Coles to buy some groceries. I also bought a mobile phone to use in Geelong. It is locked to the network, but I don't think that is a problem since people in LowYat can unlock it once we are back in Malaysia.

Bob and I did not do much that day. We went to the tourist info centre several times to ask for few things, and also for a mosque/ islamic centre.

That afternoon, I walked to the centre about 4km away. I wish I had a bicycle.

Anyway, met the imam and few malaysians overthere. The malaysian community here is not big, so is the muslim community. There is only one masjid here, and a number of halal restaurants (kebab, curry house). The malaysian brother, nizam, took me to their house for a decent malay meal.

I got home around 10pm. It was quite late, considering subuh is at 5am. We had some trouble with the heater in the lounge, so we could not stay there for long. I decided to go to bed rather early.

SIK 10 Sept. - Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak menegaskan, UMNO adalah sebuah parti Islam yang sebenar walaupun ia tidak menggunakan label Islam dalam membela dan merancang pembangunan umat di negara ini.

Perdana Menteri berkata, ini kerana perjuangan UMNO adalah untuk membela dan menaik taraf hidup umat Islam termasuk membasmi kemiskinan menerusi pelbagai program kerajaan terutama di rancangan-rancangan Felda.

Beliau berkata, perubahan dalam kehidupan peneroka Felda yang kini menikmati kehidupan lebih baik berbanding dahulu hasil perjuangan kerajaan Barisan Nasional (BN) adalah selari dengan perjuangan Islam.
