** mecca & medina **

rindu nak gi dua2 tempat ne, last week one of my colleagues just came back, so I managed to catch up here and there with her..hearing her stories and excitment, well actually we shared ours,always gives me the pumping in my adrenaline.

macam mana nak cerita yea, the feelings tu susah sket nak express, especially when I saw green dome and black square built infront of me..its like expressionless. alhamdulillah praise to Allah I managed to complete few rounds of umra' and only assisted hubby, and accompany him with his journey for miqat due to women reason. tipu la kalo i say im not dissapointed or sad since i took pils prescribed by gynae, tapi at least, Allah gives me the chance to step on His holy land..

my tour group ne, mostly professionals-doc gigi ada, doc GP ada, doc falsafah pon ada..mostly travel with family la, of course la kan if gi sana kene la ada muhrim nya. there this one family, mom with 4 daughters and in laws, plus a cute kiddie..it reminds me of myself..alangkah bestnye if mom can travel along with us all-4 sisters, surely can be pretty much havoc gak..

tapi suma sempoi..cuma ada la masa2 nye kiterang ada complain sket2 but most of the time we plus minus gak ngan our organizer..nak perfect mmg tak dapat la but at least our main objective tu tercapai..

normally when hubby gi beribadat i felt bored in hotel room, ye la tgk tv pon tak paham, so usually i went to wait for him near the mosque..bukan tunggu depan pintu masjid yea, tapi depan masjid dalam shopping mall! ha jangan main2, dpn masjidil haram ada starbux, u also can shop in that zam-zam mall...ada guess boutique, esprit..fuh! i mean i donno,it's just felt wrong to see such shops that close to Haram..

bukankah itu akan menjadi satu distraction untuk jemaah? or maybe im wrong, maybe its just me who feels that way, orang lain mungkin suka..but orinality of that place i think dah makin hilang la..ntah bila next time ada rezeki pergi lagi, ada disneyland lak somewhere at that parameter..


nak carik internet pon is very2 limited, nasib kat Hilton business center leh access, itu pon with 15 rial per hour..hahaha..telan je la, sbb nak tengok muke Zikry nye pasal..

*Kaherah Day 2*

Malam tu..guess what? we went to experience the great river Nile at night..cruising of course..

tapi ada suprising element lain aa plak..apa dia? hahah...it's the Egyptian delicacies-tarian gelek aa..haha..u cannot imagine how the mutawwif's face when that belly-pierced girl came out..things were fine at first, dinner..cool background musics..an interesting show..suddely-aiseyman..here we are, on the way to perform holy Umrah and ziarah..tetiba ada plak la free show..wakakakaa

my fren and myself were laughing..mana taknye, because both of us were like pushing our hubbies and teasing them telling that they must be enjoying the show..ahah men..sape yg tak kan..

things were getting hotter..dah la belly dancer tu dok pusin2 depan kiterang..and mind you..we sat at front table so such a clear view infront of us! then mutawwif bangun naik upper deck, so does my hunny bunny pon bangun and motioned to myself to naik upper deck..

phew..things are much cooler up here :)windy breezy Nile-like feeling

* Kaherah Day 1 *

Landed in Cairo awal pagi, at airport je, hubby da start to call home..*hello..assalamualaikum mak..kiterang da sampai da..Mak..adik ok?* haha..itu yang benarnya..checking out on little zikry la..erm of course,to leave our baby back home was the hardest decision i ever made..tapi atas nawaitu tu, tawakkal je la..

Cairo..was a historical and full with epic place. actually, Cairo itself is not much a place to visit, lagi thrill if you can spend more days to visit Iskandariah..then only your visit to Egypt is considered complete!

owh yea..did i mention about my hubby's phone bill raking up thousands..hahah..mana taknye, everyday call Zikry..dengar dia cooing and crying makes us burst with happiness..ya Allah besar sungguh kurnia Mu pada hamba mu yang hina ini..terima kasih Allah kerana mengurniakan Zikry kepada kami..

there's one time kat Cairo, we were so tired after visited the pyramid during daytime, so we only tapau our food- some kind of nasi minyak/beriani..by default per person got one bungkus la..when we arrived back at our hotel room, unwrapped the food and finished off satu bungkus sorang..memang la food tu baanyaak, ample of them for a person but since me n hubby are as hungry as wolves, we managed to finish off the food *burp..
next morning tu, turun la brekpes..then most of them bawak turun nasik tu..and within our tables, they were chatting * ye la mmg banyak kan nasik tu, tak habis..a ah..aunty pon satu bungkus makan 2 orang pon tak abes tu yang bawak turun brekpes nak heat up tu...* WHAAAT? satu bungkus makan 2 orang tak abes? then wat about us?yang makan sorang satu tapi still macam tak cukop? hahahahhaha....so, when they threw that question to me..abes ke makan..i just nodded without direction sheepishly..ye ye..ye apenye entah la...ahahahhahah

blessed*

when hubby broke the news to me, *darl, we're off to Cairo n perform Umrah in next two weeks*, i broke into tears..never that i thought i'll be invited by dear Allah this quick. Mmg la dalam hati selalu ada niat nak pergi to rumah-Nya..but there are always something in between..time..RM..

hubby ada la ceta2 about going over there before that, tapi i took things lightly je ..mmg kitorang loves to travel, but since i just gave birth to our adorable son, rasenya that travel plan will be like years ahead..

But,since he'd stayed in Mecca for quite sometime and dutifully perform Umrah consequently after that, dia kata dia dah rindu to see that green dome..

now i can understand his feelings..because im missing that place immersely too..walaupon under that 44 deg heat, hmm

moga murah rezeki kami sekeluarga untuk sampai lagi ke sana..this time bawak zikry la..hehe

** still in awe **

** like the title..im still in awe..still walking on air, or to be precised thin air..when laa this jetlagged gonna fade off...my biological clock and hormonal thingy had all gone haywire..it never went this bad at other trips...

** im gettting olllld!..thats y my body seemed to not sustain all these whoohoos..urrgh i guess it it is all in my mind...chant** its all in my mind...chant** its all in my mind....chant** its all in miiin sleepy...uwaaa its not working..

**back after 2 weeks out**

*phew..dat 2 wonderful blissful weeks had passed, in a jiffy! apart from being tanned, truly deeply am missin my darlin riky every second.., I was so truly glad to have the oppurtunity to become His AlMighty's guest..

yea..it was awesome, the omra'/umrah trip was unspeakable, the experience of seeing the image which imprinted on your prayer mat was urgh..arggh..erm.. like i said was darn unspeakable! i believe that each one of you who had the oppurtunity to perfom one would be giving different kind of feedback..it's like youre in different kind of mode, setting..different jibes..and your tear machine will runs automatically!

had an oppurtunity to go tru Cairo Egypt before that...to view one of the 7 wonders infront of me had yea again made me dumbfounded..how on earth can these ancient people put up these blocks together? and mind you, these blocks are all still stand still, and safe for me to say that each or most of these blocks are all higher than me! ( hey im not thaaat short oke...hehehe ) I said are here because they still remain astounding there like the ageing decades havent done anything to them...well not anything actually, the Sphinx's beard was actually skinned out by the winds or forces of nature..

weather is scorching hot..well that weathercasts few days before i flown out surely sent me some goosebumps...how can i sustain that 46 47 deg cels? i did i did..praise to Allah i managed to hold that heat without much issues...He is surely the Greatest to grant me that...
