My first ever flight..

Do you remember the first time you fly..I mean taking a flight..

Well mine was like twenty years ago, when I was with my first real job after uni. During my years in uni far up north, I never had the chance to take a flight, could not afford the cost at that time. I used to take the train and mind you I had to take the non-airconditioned coach. Imagine travelling almost 12 hours from the southern end of the Peninsular to the most northern part of the Peninsular..by the time I reached The Pearl Island, my face was already full of dust. Hmmm..those were the days, those things that made me who I am today.

Back to my first flight..my first ever destination was to Kota Bharu, Kelantan and my assignment was to stay for one month, to start off the organization of our new team there. I had to go there alone, and to check in a hotel all by myself, and the next day I had to go to the new office, to introduce myself and to start the ball rolling. Wow that was quite a deal for someone so new and fresh..

I didnt even know how to get myself into the plane, but I have heard people mentioning the word check-in, so that should be okay I guess. The first thing I did was to make sure I arrived at the airport early. Then I looked around and searched for signages. Next I was already checking-in, I was the first one to do so for the flight..a little funny I guess. Then I walked slowly and looked for my departure lounge. Everything went well. The key word is, when you dont know and are not sure of anything, do it systematically, follow the instruction and procedure, and you are going to be fine.

AL-BAQARAH
Section 22 : Retaliation and Bequests
--------------------------------------

177 : It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces towards East or West; but it is righteousness - to believe in God and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers, to spend of your Substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfil the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the God-fearing.

AL-BAQARAH
Pokok-pokok Kebajikan
-----------------------

177 : Bukanlah menghadapkan wajahmu ke arah timur dan barat itu suatu kebajikan, akan tetapi sesungguhnya kebajikan itu ialah

beriman kepada Allah, hari kemudian, malaikat-malaikat, kitab-kitab, nabi-nabi dan

memberikan harta yang dicintainya kepada kerabatnya, anak-anak yatim, orang-orang miskin, musafir (yang memerlukan pertolongan) dan orang-orang yang meminta-minta, dan (memerdekakan) hamba sahaya,

mendirikan shalat,

dan menunaikan zakat,

dan orang-orang yang menepati janjinya apabila ia berjanji,

dan orang-orang yang sabar dalam kesempitan, penderitaan dan dalam peperangan.

Mereka itulah orang-orang yang benar-benar (imannya); dan mereka itulah orang-orang yang bertakwa.
