Salam Mountdweller,
ReplyDeleteCiter begini memang menyedihkan. Tetapi citer di Turki lagi memilukan. Umum mengetahui, Russia sedang bertelagah dengan Turki. CIA dan Mossad akan mengambil kesempatan.
P.S. Blog ini agak selesa melawatnya. Takde iklan yang annoying seperti blog yang lama.
W'salam Yong
ReplyDeleteMemang sedih tetapi sekiranya di negara Islam kurang mendapat simpati walau dari negara umat Islam sendiri.
Yang lama tu annoying ke Yong? Sorryler bila tu biasalah, tampal sana-sini. Yang ni pun terpaksa buka sebab ramai yang mengadu tak boleh buka yang lama. Perkara simple jer, tukar jer ke open DNS
Yong,
ReplyDeletetertinggal perkataan tadi 'yang lama tu biasalah, tampal situ-sini. Terima kasih di atas sokongan Yong
