Seems like ages not updating this, been a busy week of going to and fro Meiji University (my future University) and the house company trying to settle the house contract and everything, finally its all done and insyaAllah this saturday 1/3/08 will be the day I enter my new house. I thank Allah for making it easy for me finding a suitable and convenient house, why I say convenient?
Its..
5 mins walk from the university
3 mins from the nearest supermarket
2 mins from the the konbini(convenience store)
8 mins from the train station
45000yen;monthly rent



Furthermore, I received a chance to snowboard again. Although it was only a one day trip to Nagano, but it was great.
A friend of mine, who is currently working here, invited me to go along, actually I was replacing someone as that guy canceled, so again Alhamdulillah. We started the about 5 hour bus trip early in the morning , got there at around 1300 sumthing, snowboarded till1700 and went back, I got home at 2230. It was my first time experiencing snow so soft that it couldn’t be made into a snowball and because of that soft snow, we made our prayers in the snow. Ya Allah, how I wish I could describe how I felt, just being one with nature and praying to our One and Only.
It was snowing so hard that day, it was like in a blizzard. I didn’t buy a goggle so I had a hard time seeing anything at all, plus the snow that kept hitting&stinging my face added to the misery. Luckily it was only for the first 2 hours. After that it was a smooth ride going down. It was not only the thrill of snowboarding actually, as the group that I went along with were either American or American graduates that is working here. So it was a great experience mingling with the working and American society. One big difference that I felt was they were so friendly and cheerful that you could fit in with them right away. Plus they were very open-minded towards everything. They even know Islamic phrases such as Haram and InsyaAllah. It was like a group of brothers and sisters..but How I wished they had the hearts to accept Islam.. so it could become brothers and sisters of Islam…
Ya Allah may You give me and them hidayah..
