1 mile = 1.6 km

 ..


BAM II

 Dan ada banyak buku dalam Shamela yang memang berasaskan manuskrip yang sama dengan manuskrip yang diserahkan kepada penerbit. Beberapa belas tahun lepas Al Musnad Al Mu'allal yang baru habis ditulis oleh Dr. Basshhaar 'Awwadh dll muncul di Shamela. Karya ini adalah puluhan jilid jadi tak mungkin karya ini muncul di Shamela tanpa penglibatan orang dalam.


Dr. Bashhaar lalu menulis dalam Multaqa ahl al hadith merayu agar karya ini tidak disebarkan dalam bentuk Shamela dahulu dan biar ditunggu beberapa tahun jualan di kedai-kedai baru disebarkan di Shamela. Beberapa tahun lepas, karya ini mucul semula dalam Shamela dan dituliskan bahawa salah seorang penulis yang kurang dikenali ramai yang mengupload karya ini. Karya ini juga disebut bahawa ada perbezaan di sana sini dengan yang terbit di pasaran kerana ada penambahan serta pengurangan oleh Dr. berkenaan. Jadi adakah dalam kes ini versi Shamela lebih tepat dari versi cetakan? Mungkin ini realitinya tapi lebih menarik kalau penulis berkenaan dan/atau Dr. Bashhaar ditanya akan hal ini untuk pengesahan.

Zulanie's Bachok

 


About 100-200 m to the beach. 


The pool is a bit small.


Needs insect control as there are a lot of ants in the room.


The sink feels like it is going to fall soon. Please reinforce below it so that it will not hurt anyone. 


The toilet needs some scrubbing with bleach. 


Restaurants are probably 1-2 km away.

Bruce from Wiki

 "Brucine is an alkaloid closely related to strychnine, most commonly found in the Strychnos nux-vomica tree. Brucine poisoning is rare, since it is usually ingested with strychnine, and strychnine is more toxic than brucine. In chemical synthesis, it can be used as a tool for stereospecific chemical syntheses.

Brucine's name derives from this of the genus Brucea, named after James Bruce who brought back Brucea antidysenterica from Ethiopia."

KB: Tempat Buat Kerja

 

Near Masjid Muhammadi/ Bus Station

Old town white coffee - yes for charging


Near KB Mall

Nashken - yes



1. Port B (Coworking Space)

  • Price: Very budget-friendly. Hot desks are around RM15 --> 25--> 20 per day, making it an affordable choice if you want a proper, interruption-free desk setup with high-speed internet and power outlets for 5 hours.

2. Specialty Cafes (The Bold Lab / Drum & Desk)

  • Price: Cost varies by what you order, but generally requires a minimum spend or purchase.

    • Coffee / Specialty Drinks: RM10 – RM18

    • Pastries / Cakes / Mains (like their desserts or western dishes): RM15 – RM35+

  • Expectation: You can easily camp out for a few hours comfortably by buying a coffee and a pastry or meal, though staying for a full 5 continuous hours without re-ordering can sometimes get politely eyed by staff if the cafe is very busy.

3. Hotel Lounges / Business Hotels in KB (e.g., Troika area)

  • Price: No strict cover charge just to sit in a public lobby lounge, but you are expected to order a beverage or light snack.

    • Coffee / Tea / Juice: RM15 – RM25+ per drink.

    • Note: This gives you the quietest environment with large plush sofas and zero pressure to rush.

Musnad Ahmad

 Syaikh Waa'il menyebut bahawa mereka dahulu menyelesaikan bacaan Musnad Ahmad dalam masa 13 hari. Ini jumlah hari yang sesuai untuk Awliyaa' yang Ulama. Adapun kita yang Alarmak dan bukan Ulamak maka rasanya mungkin perlukan 30 hari untuk settle Musnad ini. Harapnya ada pihak yang anjurkan selama 7-8 hari setiap tahun. Lepas 4 tahun boleh selesai. Lebih dari 8 hari mungkin ramai yang ada kekangan itu dan ini.
