If language become the barrier then learn... :)

Now back to Plymouth...

Ramadhan is just around the corner....
Salamz Ramadhan to all muslims...
Yeap i miss bazar Ramadhan and all the tempting foodz...

Refrain from unessential activities
Its the time for us to ask for forgiveness, ask for guidance and doa
to purify through good deeds..

Gutten taag!

Vienna is a nice place to visit if you like Gothic-style architectures and museum/opera. Other that that, not much we can do/see. Good that you enjoyed your trip to Vienna.

Selamat menyambut Ramadhan Al-Mubarak.
