really dude?!Originally posted by Taufiq:haha believe it or not.. i belonged to a Kuda Kepang troupe

I am like the extra one there..preparing stuff..but such practices are not encouraged by my religion i.e Islam... because it shows that we have doubts in Allah's powers..

why i join the troupe? Because i am like you all..to explore the unknown cause i believe...
