jordan-syria-madinah-mekah (Pt. 3)

semlm genap 1month i blk from umrah. 29 April to 29 May... yes, genap sebulan. friends and family members would ask me "seronok tak?" and my standard answer would be "seronok. seronok sgt". mmg seronok sgt. personally, i feel that takde tmpt dlm dunia ni yg bg ketenangan mcm ketenangan yg i rs kt Mekah and Madinah.

utk kwn2 yg ada cita2 nk g wt umrah, my nasihat is pergi la masa muda ni. i know, ada menda2 yg you nk jg b4 g umrah dgn lapang hati... cnthnye, nk cukupkn duit, nk uruskan anak2, family, kerja, etc2. tp i rs untung g masa muda ni... bdn sihat, tenaga ada. tp yelah, depends la pd keadaan. diri yg nk g pn kna jg, family yg ditinggalkn pn kna take care gk.

ada menda2 yg i jg bila kt Mekah especially. mulut, mata & hati... 3 parts yg i rs penting utk i cntrl bila kt sana. ada my frens yg ckp i ni kdg2 tak reti nk control mulut, ckp kdg2 main TERlps je bila kt sini, especially bila tgk menda2 pelik. daaaaan, i admit la, mmg btul pn perangai i cmtu. dat's y masa kt sana i usaha jg mata, cntrl supaya tak melilau sgt pndgn cz bila TERnpk smthing, sure nk TERckp smthing or TERdetik smthing dlm hati. kalau yg TERdetik tu baik, alhamdulillah. otherwise, byk2 kna istighfar, mntk allah ampunkan dosa.

b4 i g, ada org pesan, "mntk la apa u  nk dgn semahu2nye kt sana cz takde tmpt lain spti kt sana". mmg btul pun. dats y kt sana selalu sgt tersyahdu hati, huhuhu. i tak tau la cmne feeling org lain tp when i was there, i  kept on thinking that "this is between me and allah", wpun kita g berteman. so, menangis leleh air mata cmne pn, takyah la nk malu cz afterall hanya allah je yg tau apa yg you nk.

b4 i g, ada org pesan lg, "kalau jmp org yg layan kita tak baik, jgn marah2 cz we never know whether itu adalah org or smthing yg menyerupai manusia". phm?!! x paham xpe. yg i nk point out is, kita jgn expect lynan mewah kt sana... or, that semua org akn layan kita baik... or that kita akan dpt mkn sedap memanjang kt sana. blablabla... because, when we have our own EXPECTATION and tiba2 yg kita dpt kt sana semuanya lain, mula timbul feeling lain dlm hati. betul?!! so, better g sana dgn hati kosong, hati lapang, serahkan urusan kpd allah, mntk allah tlg mudahkan semua yg kita nk buat, mntk allah bg kesihatan. then bila kita jmp things yg tak seperti kita jangkakan, terima dgn lapang hati & pkir "this is another experience that i have in my life".

okeh, i think cukup la i describe sket je my journey sepjg umrah & ziarah. THANK YOU utk semua2 yg doakn i pergi & blk dgn selamat... i doakan moga2 anda dan anda dan anda2 semua dimudahkn utk wt umrah gk satu hari nnt. THANK YOU for granting me my wish =)

jordan-syria-madinah-mekah (Pt. 2)

another update on my journey to the Holy Land...

slps dh beberapa hari kt Syria&Jordan we headed to Madinah. experience 1st kt Madinah adalah dok mkn burger dlm compound Masjid Nabawi, hehehe. (knp mesti 1st experience nk ckp psl food?) dh tu, dok dlm bus semlman from Jeddah to Madinah... then bila smpi hotel dh after wktu bfast... so, mengisi perut dgn beli burger & dok mkn kt dlm compound msjd while waiting for Zohor and nk lunch lps smyg.

b4 msuk msjd utk smyg kt Masjid Nabawi, sll guard akn check beg. apa2 yg guard tak puas ati de dlm beg yg kita bw, dia suruh buang. adalah 1 time i terkena... guard check beg & jmp milo 3-in-1. i bw milo tu cz lps smyg subuh nk g breakfast trus. so, dok la mengexplain kt guard tu "milo 3-in-1 ni is for my breakfast"... nsb baik dia x suruh buang that small packet.

lps dh beberapa hari kt madinah, mula la our journey to mekkah utk wt umrah. mmg syahdu la nk tgglkn madinah... just never know bila dpt dtg lg *sob...sob...sob...* bertolak from madinah around 3.30 p.m by bus and smpi kt mekah 7 jam kemudiannye. lama kn? mmg lama... tp x terasa sgt sbb, erm... erm... i tido (*blush*). oh ye, 1 experience masa lalu kt highway on our way to mekah... adalah 1 eksiden kt tgh2 highway tu & cuba teka sape yg dtg utk rescue? helicopter beb!!!! canggih la... ptt la wpun eksiden tp jammed x jauh sgt.

as mentioned dlm earlier post, my fren & i created our BEST EVER list kn. so, masa stop mkn b4 smpi mekkah, we had our BEST EVER meal... ikan bakar!!! nearly 2 weeks x dpt ikn, skali dpt trus licin ikan, hahahaha...

reached mekkah at 1030p.m, rest jp kt hotel & performed our 1st umrah midnite tu (12 a.m). npk la rmi org tawaf cz mlm2 x pns. my 1st feeling tgk kaabah? kagum!!! x sgka tmpt yg kita ngadap utk smyg everyday ada kt dpn mata. sgt rs rendah diri... dan syahdu lg, huhuhu... our mutawwif (org yg guide utk buat umrah) was org muda from indonesia yg study kt sana. so, we stayed in a group together with him throughout the whole process of performing our 1st umrah. cmplete tawaf, we performed sa'ie, then bergunting rmbt, then complete la my 1st umrah :) alhamdulillah...

kt mekkah pn ada kwsn2 menarik to visit. kalo g visit then mmg lalu tmpt utk berniat umrah, then berniat la umrah sekali. so, bkn la 1 kali je dpt buat umrah sbnrnye. utk tatapan umum, my pictures while at madinah & mekkah...

jordan-syria-madinah-mekah (Pt. 1)

i never got the chance to really update about the journey (KL-Jordan-Syria-Madinah-Mekah). still doing my best to get things done at the office... 2 weeks xde kt office weh, mcm2 nk kna settle/update. memandangkan perjlnan buat umrah cover jugak trip to Jordan & Syria, so harus divide into different update kot... skrg ni i citer experience kt jordan & syria la eh... next time i citer yg kt madinah & mekah.

flight i from KL turun kt jordan. fuhhhh!!!! 12 jam dlm flight, cmpr transit kt bangkok tp dok dlm fligt je cz xleh kuar pn... dan memberi rs sprti nk kematu kpd backside :( di saat2 xleh tido (wpun org lain semua cm syok je layan tido dlm flight), i pn tgk muvi. then tiba la saat mkn. then tido kejap. then bgn & tgk muvi lg & mkn. then tido kejap. then bgn tgk muvi lg & then trus xleh tido.... haish!!!

trip ni cuma ada 4 org warga muda. lain2 semua pangkat pakcik2&makcik2, tp semua sempoi!!! memandangkan i g dgn kwn yg sekepala gilo dgn i (wahai kwn, harap maaf), aktiviti berjln2 lbh byk membabitkn kami bergelak ketawa. kdg2 risau gk kot2 pakcik makcik igt both of us adalah remaja2 hyper, tp nsb baik x pernah dpt any remark psl kegilaan kami =) dan ada beberapa mkck yg CUBA nk tau berapa umur i *blush* dan ada gk mkck yg ckp "adik ni npk lg muda dr kami" *blush lg, hehehe*

jordan & syria adalah dingin... sejuk & dingin WPUN matahari terik memancar smpi menyukarkn nk bukak mata dlm gmbr, hahahaha... sejuk & dingin yg memberikn i keadaan idung berdarah setiap hari while i was there (perasaan yg agk tak best bila hidung berdarah everyday okeh). tp di bwh matahari terik tu la org2 syria suka ber"picnic"... picnic di tepi jln raya di bwh panas terik, picnic di tgh2 roundabout di bwh pns terik gk, picnic dan picnic dan picnic... smpi i agk panik tgk diorg picnic merata2, hehehehe... 

membeli belah kt syria pki syrian pound. tp they do accept US dollar as well. i? i guna USD jelah. mslhnye xtau nk ckp brg kt syria tu murah or mahal. let's see... eskrem yg 2 scoop tu USD1, air mineral botol besar tu USD1, erm... dah x igt dh apa lg yg USD1 cz i pn x beli brg byk pn. oh... eskrem sedap ke? okeh, kalau mengikut kwn i yg sama dlm trip ni, she said "ORG CKP eskrem kt syria ni sedap". so we tried... & i had 1scoop of pistachio + 1 scoop of stroberi. yg i leh ckp sedap adalah stroberi shj. yg pistachio lk, rs x seperti yg diharapkn, huhuhuhu...

food... erm... i obses dgn juice yg hotel bg for breakfast ;) most of the time, i xleh nk perabihkan food kerana, welllllll... they served large portion la... kalo ada 3org yg size perut dia cm i, we can share the same plate, hehehe. oho, ada sekali tu dpt nasik yg di"serve" bersama mknan lain & rs mmg fabulous ala2 cm Nandos. tp perut tak mengizinkan i utk mkn lbh byk. ayam yg restoran tu serve 3ketul for each of us tp i just mkn 1 je. agk rugi, kn... my fren and i have created our "BEST EVER" list... BEST breakfast EVER, BEST lunch EVER, BEST dinner EVER, BEST supper EVER, BEST juice EVER. byk benor menda yg BEST EVER berkaitan dgn mknan. npk sgt main sapu je amenda yg diorg serve, wakakakaka...

we went to many interesting places kt syria & jordan. went to makam salahuddin al-ayubi, bazar hudaibiyah, umayyad mosque (memang cntk la msjd ni), makam 2 org isteri rasulullah, gua Ashabul-Kahfi, Laut Mati, etc2. kesimpulannye, no words can describe betapa i rs sgt bersyukur for having the chance to visit these places.

okey, utk tatapan umum, some of the pictures taken at syria & jordan =) will update further later.
