Meeting with cikgu

Assalamualaikum everyone! As the new school year has started, the new committee of the Brunei Newcastle Society would like to welcome everyone who are back from Brunei or who have just started university here in Newcastle! This Wednesday, we had the opportunity to welcome Cikgu Huzaimah and Cikgu Jauyah all the way from London and held an informal meeting at Newcastle University!

Cikgu Jauyah and Cikgu Huzaimah also visited some of the students' houses here in Newcastle before going back to London.

Until next time!


With love,
Aqilah Mohammad (Vice President of BNS 15/16)

Weekly Tadarus

I assume I could just put these in the previous post, but I kind of want to make another one just for this. As I mentioned before, BNS had organized weekly tadarus event that had been going on from November 2014 to 27th February 2015. It was fun, exciting and a new experience overall. Being able to gather together for Islamic events such as this makes me feel happy and refreshing - just us Bruneians and all in one place. It even feels like home :)

We would usually have a sharing session/learning tajweed after reading Al-Quran, which is really beneficial for us, since there are some things that we thought we knew, but it turns out to be wrong, and this was a very good opportunity to voice out our doubts and concerns over certain matters. In some way or another, this has also strengthen our bonds with each other. Here are some of the pictures from the last day of the event (thank you for taking these pictures)

Yes, that's right. Nasi pulut + ayam rendang + serunding and a lot of yummy foods. Thank you everyone for making these (and different foods) every week ;)

And that's all for now! See you next time! :)

BNS events

Assalamualaikum and hello people! How have you been? I hope you guys are able to cope up with everything in the midst of these busy months of assignments and examinations (plus, some of the results are already released). We're sorry for not updating in such a long time and for not maintaining this blog properly. Insyallah, we will try to update this as much as we could starting from now.

Let's get on to the updates, shall we?

In the last few months, we had organized events such as movie night, Go Kart, Sambutan Maulidur Rasul, a trip to South Shields, and weekly Tadarus. One very good news though....

...We're finally able to be an official society as a Brunei Newcastle Society in NUSU, which is very important, considering that this will mean a lot of privileges for us. :)

Here are some pictures for you guys. Enjoy!

26th November 2014 - movie night out

11th January 2015 - Sambutan Maulidur Rasul

7th February 2015 - Go Kart

P.S. Our next event will be the National Day Celebration which will take place on 8th March 2015, Insyallah. Look forward to that! :)
