France Malaysian student life report

Many of us thinks living in egypt is like living in the
worst part of the world...
I urged you to take back your words...
Honestly,we have no idea what the world tends to unfold...
Those places we outta think best, but on the base of reality,
we deviates way far from the truth
Yes many of us dream to study here... Anywhere from malaysia...
Yet we failed to realized how generous the land had been for us...
Pictures may be fun and a picture worth a thousand words..
However my friends.. No picture can stand up to the picture
Allah blessed to us... Our own eyes.... The images we see here
tells the actual story and they never lie

I cheerish my time in france.. Things I learned will leave a permanent
spot in my remembrance
As fun as the experience I gained passing by historical,
imperdible places, not as much joy I shared with my stay with friends..
I walked through their life in france
And even if I had never wished to set foot in egypt,
never tried to lay love one bit, I would still be grateful as greatly as I
am now
To compare us with those living there, and yet we grumble
over things here in this land of pharoah, would be shameful

Student Allowances :
Keep in mine how luxury we live here
Some or should I say most of us even manage to save money more
than half from what we receive from our sponsers monthly...
Most of them, they struggle to save even 10%

How hillarious that including me, we thought that petronas
(UTP) sponsored student are the wealthiest among students
studying abroad
Just another false persumption
Allow me to say that this is not entirely true
Not for those living in France at least
For JPA sponsered student they are given 900euro/month
UTP sponsered student 700euro/month
We would normally say :
"GILA LA, BANYAK GILER!!"
Well, I think they are the ones who deserve to say that to us
They receive a larger amount, but spend just as much
Such high cost of living...

Lets compare :

House rent
Egypt : 15ooe.p.= mini mansion/banglo = RM981.80
France : 210euro = mini apartment(9 meter square) = RM1155

Food (rice and chicken)
Egypt : 10ep.(hadarul maut) = burpppppppppppppppp!!!!! = RM6.54
France : 7euro = alhamdulillah = RM38.50

Transport
Egpyt (tram) = 25 piastres = any distance = RM0.15
France (metro) = 1.60euro = any distance = RM8.80

I compared only 3 aspects..
Dont make me laugh if these values surpriced you

Friday prayer (Solat jumaat)
One of the best experience
We needed 30 minutes to get to the nearest mosque
And yes, we need to use the bus and the subway metro train
Don't you think its cruel that we over here needing only a few
steps take it lightly when we don't attend to the mosque early???
We went to the biggest one in Lyon and apparently, is was not
that big and not big enough
The "kutbah" was mix in arabic fusha and french

You should see how much people donates money to the mosque hoping for more space as their number just keep growing
And their believe is high
They hold Islam stronger
They are qualities that we rarely see
Who knows the next Salehuddin is born from france

Studies
One thing Im really surprice is that our friends in france study in french
Don't forget that france is a country that are so proud of their language
and rejects english as the international language
Our students understand them fully without needing repeation
They even watch movies in french
Speaking fluently than any of us who speak egypt local language (ammi)
In Malaysia, some of us are expose to arabic language learning since
primary school so catching up the language here isn't so difficult
Them?????
Have they ever learned it in Malaysia before????

Whenever assingment are late.. 0 for you
When asked bout smething and their dun know the answer, insults comes flying in
Makes us look like crybabies over here dun you think???

Friendship (UKHWAH)
One of the most beautifull thing I have ever seen
Their numbers are small
300 all together for the entire country
And they live separately according to their universities and course
Laughing like pure brothers when they meet
Rarely they quarrel over one another
We with all the Islamic values exposure here is way out of their league
We fail to get bonds between each other
Still keeping jealousy to our friends
Holding their progress back and bringing them down
Even for something small, we tend to fight for months and years
Spreading bad news
Not being considerate
Sadly I had to tell them all this

They are the community to look up to
Take these good examples and bring them within ourselves
We can make a change for our wrong doing
Feel happy living in Egypt
And feel happy living in Malaysia
Alhamdulillah for all our shortcomings wherever we are
Alhamdulillah
Alhamdulillah
