Hello! Assalamualaikum!
So now it is June already. And Kofu had started its striking hot weather. Similarly like the one in Malaysia though. But Johor Bahru lagi panas. I swear. Hahaha. But air dia masih sejuk and sometimes rasa tak best mandi air sejuk dia, sebab rasa macam ais lagi. I preferred air paip biasa kat Malaysia tak pakai water heater sebab rumah memang takde water heater.
So how`s life has been? Good. Although sometimes I cried over unwanted situation. Lol. And I started getting used to life here. Kot. Realising no mamak stall or kedai Melayu around here where you can order char kuey teow whenever you are lazy to cook, I`m getting used to it kot although very sad.
So now! Let us talk about how we eat here. This topic has been haywiring my mind since forever. There was a time several weeks or month ago where suddenly Sushiro is declared haram as they use alcohol in their sushi. And. I went for a sushi treatment in Toyama and been asked "Halal ke tu?" Awaa meh sini saia cerita. Kami kat sini takde JAIS JAKIM JAIJ and what not to declare that ni haram ni halal. So what do we do? Kita ikut la sendiri punya pandangan. Ni bukan sesuka je sebab aku rasa aku nak makan. Ni sebab takde pun orang nak keluarkan fatwa yg mana satu halal and haram. So macam dah diajar dalam al-Quran, we follow that one. No pork, no alcohol, no meat, we assumed that we can eat. Aku boleh je nak tanya pakcik tu "Pakai kuali babi ke masa buat benda makanan ni?" but kita tak perlu la sampai ektremis begitu. Selama ni pakcik2 lain pegang anjing pegang babi pastu pegang duit, duit yg sama gak ko pakai kan? Maka, benda simple. Kita jadikan dia simple. The least pun, we will ask "Acik dlm ni ada daging ke ada alcohol ke?" to confirm. That`s it.
Sama jugak la cam beli makanan kat supermarket. Dulu kat Malaysia kemain seronok gi Econsave mengambil harta benda tanpa berfikir. Kat sini, kena baca ingredient seketul-seketul sebab takde pun orang fatwa ni halal tu haram. So kitorang again, ambil apa yg diajar dlm al-Quran dan ikut pandangan hang, hang ambik la kalau takde babi dan arak. Simple. Cuma kalau ada emulsifier tu la payah sikit sebab kau kena call customer service nak tanya dorang pakai hasil haiwan or hasil tumbuhan as emulsifier. Roti tu pun. Butter dia shortening dia margerine dia tu semua ada potensi depa pakai oink oink so memang tak makan la. Even biskut pun. So kalau ada yg ingat kami ni bersenang lenang memakan segala-galanya di luar negara. Anda silap ye anak-anak. Kalau dah makan tu, memang insya Allah halal.
Well, kadang-kadang terjadi jugak perkara seperti "Weh! Takleh makan ke?!" "Alaa aku dah makan weh?!" "Weh dah check kot pun takleh ke sebenarnya?!" Ye terjadi. Tapi nak buat cemane, dah makan. Tapi kau ingat best sangat ke makan benda yg takleh ni? Hahaha. Serba salah jiwa raga. Kami dah la datang untuk belajar, of course la nak jaga hati supaya dipenuhi dgn cahaya-cahaya Ilahi untuk memberkati ilmu yg susah nak paham ni semua. Bila dah termakan benda2 camtu, reflect balik kat kita jugak sebenarnya. Macam mana kita jaga makan minum, macam mana kita peka, macam mana tahap keimanan kita nak check, nak tanya kat makcik kedai dia letak apa dalam tu. Itu semua begantung kat kekuatan aqidah juga sebenarnya. So nak cakap bukanlah semua pun yg ada kemahuan nak check satu-satu. Well this is rule. There are the ones who break the rules. Tapi kita mintak dijauhkan. Amiin.
This is a long post. Thank you for reading or not. Mata!
