Last week is my birthday; should I be happy, celebrate?

Well, I’m happy because I stepped good in the new year.

Okay … what I wish myself… well first of all to be healthy, to get a good year, problem and unpleasant events free; I want the new year to be as good and prosperous as 2010.

Also I wish all people I know to be healthy, better, more honest, less treacherous and to enjoy everything they want.

.::. I WANT TO CHANGE MY HANDPHONE .::.

2009-07-15T08:05:00.005+08:00

I am still considering whether to change my handphone. ...

It lost its signal often and it often turns itself off.

So for my next phone, I'm was looking for a good camera phone which can take decent pictures. I know I should get a real camera instead, but I hate the idea of carrying too many things while on the go. Since I carry my handphone wherever I go, a camera handphone would be ideal.

Just a quick update…Wassalam

.::. WHAT IS GOOD ABOUT THIS DAY?.::.

2009-07-14T10:02:00.002+08:00

Everyday we feel the changes of our mood because of the existing weather conditions and the health that we have. But whatever everyday brings is with a purpose. We don't always feel happy all the time. Life displays a lot of challenges that we have to encounter.

This day is a good day for me because things go smoothly. I feel less pressure and heavy loads of thinking. The only thing that I think this day is to express in any way what I feel so that I feel at ease with everything.

What a good day this day is!

Sometimes people just love to point mistakes to someone else and never realise that they are doing the same thing.... the reason I'm blogging for the 1st time was to tell people what did I felt for that particular day or what did I want to do that day... sometimes I guess I'm also going overboard with my entry... arguing about someone else saying bad thing about something and becoming one of them also.... so sorry because I'm not that good in English and have tonnes of grammar and vocab to practice. Yes that really bad right....

But I'm not someone whom didn't realise my weakness... yet I'm trying to pull all the strength to make sure I can speak n write in better English in the future... I'm glad that I used to go to one of the best primary school in my hometown... and I think that all primary school should

try to use the same kind of method that my former school used to make all their students love and know how to use English in their life... ops I think again I've out of the topic.... well arguing about something that really don't border your life is something but sometimes just wondering how would it change your life if that thing become something bad and

make your life worst? Just think of it...

.::. WHY MUST I BE SO LAZY? .::.

2009-06-10T12:56:00.004+08:00

Well honestly, I am feeling both. I feel so lazy that I couldn't even find time to update my blogs. I am always planning everyday to update at least one of my blogs but soon as morning comes, I feel the same way everyday, lazy. I just had a lot of things going on lately that I need to get it done in certain time that's why I have been away from my computer for a little while.

2009-04-29T00:48:00.007+08:00

Right now I really miss Makkah and Madinah,
I miss praying in the Masjidil Haram,
I miss praying in the Masjidil Nabawi,
I miss the voices of the imams who led the prayer,
I miss shearing my tears because his recitation enters right into my heart,
I miss the feeling of my heart trembling,
I miss the tranquility I felt in there,
I miss the peace in there,
I miss the feeling of how close I can be with Allah in there.

Day-12 : Makkah Al Mukkaramah.

We wake up early at about 3:30 a.m. We still have to pack items that we have used last night and this morning. We reached the mosque just in time for Subuh prayer. We return to hotel for breakfast, packed some more and bring our luggage down to the hotel lobby, went to the mosque to perform Tawaf Wida’ recited the doa at the Multazzam and return to hotel to wait for our bus.

Everyone helped carry all the bags near to the bus. The driver is having a hard time putting everything in. I have no idea other people bought so many things and there are bundles and bundles of things.

The "Floating Mosque" at the background

Peace from me

My last day in Makkah. But certainly not the last time in my life.
I will remember how poignant it was seeing Kaabah in front of my eyes.
For more than a week my everyday routine filled with tawaf , compulsory
pray together with sunnah pray. I made promise to myself that I won’t miss everyday
prayer and not to postpone it when the times come. I proud of myself
to be able to recite Al-Quran most of the time in Masjidil-Haram
and I began to fall in love with English translation of the Noble Quran. I should
be able to understand and digest Allah’s words.

The journey was smooth as the highway wasn't as busy as in Malaysia.
The views were mostly of barren land and hills of rock and sand.

We arrived at Jeddah around noon time. Visited the Mesjid Terapung at the Red Sea.
We were taken to a seaside where we had our lunch. Whilst having lunch and facing the Red Sea, I couldn't helped but thought about the journey made by Prophet Musa across the sea with the Pharaoh's troops close behind him.

11 April 2009
Day-13 : Doha-Kuala Lumpur

We arrived at KLIA around 15.30….Overall the trip was just an amazing experience.
I learned a lot, I saw a ton, and it was just incredible feeling to be there.
Insya'Allah I (and everyone else) will get to go again for Hajj.

If I had to choose which I liked better between Makkah and Medinah…well Medinah is much more relaxed. But I’d definitely choose Makkah. Theres a feeling of intensity there. Like I can say Insya'Allah anywhere at anytime, but when I said it there it just felt so much more powerful and a stronger sense of it would happen.

Ya Allah please purify my heart and make my life at ease. His Sacred Place is embedded deep inside my heart and soul. I will be close to Him no matter where I am. Whenever I’m longing for Ka'aba I will put my hand on my heart .
I know He always be in special place deep in me.

Alhamdulillah... thank you Allah for inviting me to be one of the guests in Your House...
ok, thats all for now....THE END.

Day-9 : Makkah Al Mukkaramah.

After break fast took a van to Tannaim. Completed our 6th Umrah around 10:30am and ziarah around the masjid area. It's a very short ziarah. After Asar went for shopping. Bought a few jubah, sejadah and other buah tangan.

08 April 2009
Day-10 Makkah Al Mukkaramah.

After break fast took a van to Tannaim to miqat for our 7th Umrah. One of the thing I loved about being in Makkah is that...the people here is very punctual for the 5 daily prayers...belum masuk waktu lg the road to the Masjid had already been occupied with people. The Imams who led prayers and recited Quranic verses over the loudspeakers at Al-Haram did so with such beautiful intonations that to this day, I still remember what they sound like. My heart yearns to hear them again. I love it.

09 April 2009
Day-11 : Makkah Al Mukkaramah.

After breakfast we to perform Tawaf sunat.
And after Asar went to the bazaar for last minute shopping, I finished packing at
almost 11:00 p.m.

During our Kuliyyah, our ustaz told the story of when Prophet Ibrahim a.s
finished constructing the Ka'abah, He's instructed by God to call on to His ummat
to come and visit Ka'abah. Ibrahim A.S. called to all Muslimin with the Talbiyah while standing on Jabal Abi Qubais. It's heard by everyone including our Ruh. If we replied once,
we will visit Ka'abah once. If we replied twice, we would be able to reach the
Tanah Haram twice and so on. The Ustaz said we were so lucky to have been able
to come to Tanah Haram as Allah's guest. I feel so too and I really wish to be
able to come here again.:)

A lot of construction going on around/near vicinity of Masjidil Haram.

Day-8 : Makkah Al Mukkaramah.

After breakfast rented a van to go to Tannaim to miqat.
Completed our 5th Umrah around 10:45 am.

After zuhur, we waited half an hour for our bus. Today we're going to the camel farm on the way to Hudaibiyah. Hubby, kids and I shared a bottle of fresh camel milk which tasted OK but I don't fancy drinking another bottle. Our guide also said it's good to slather the froth of the camel milk onto our face so all the ladies are quick to do so. Hubby n kids commented if Ustaz say camel dung is good for our face we would also put it on our face :)).

Visiting this camel farm made me wonder how such a nice and gentle creature is brought up in a surrounding, which is rough and environmentally unfriendly. Here they are in the middle of a desert under the punishing heat of the hot afternoon sun without any shelter. Yet, they greeted us amicably when we approached them. No wonder, it is said that the camel is one of the animals guaranteed a place in Heaven.

Our next stop is the Ka'abah museum.
There were many pictures and artifacts related to the Ka'abah on display :)).
And our last stop at the Hudaibiyah mosque.The new mosque actually. The old mosque where the Hudaibiyah agreement was said to take place was just next to it. Can you imagine there's something left of it after hundreds of years?. More than 10 centuries actually.
I'm awed.

At Ka'abah museum.

The tour guide walked us through the museum so fast that I was unable to read the many descriptions set for the items on display. The reason was to avoid overcrowding the relatively small venue to make way for the next influx of pilgrims who were coming in. The next group never came. I was disappointed that I couldn't spend more quality time learning
about each artifact.

Thats all for now, ...to be continued.

Day-7 : Makkah Al Mukkaramah.

After breakfast, we took a van to Tannaim to miqat.. During Tawaf and Sa’i I prayed so much. While at Masjid al-Haram now that I think of it, my thoughts never really strayed too much. I mean yes my thoughts wandered from time to time but from what I remember they wandered from praying to what to pray for. Which isn’t wandering too far? I had so much time to pray for so many things I think I remembered pretty much everyone at one point or another. And I did pray in general for anyone I might have forgotten as well. I prayed for a lot of important and big things and with so much time there and constantly praying I prayed for some of the smallest things as well. Which I realized while I was doing it but it came to mind so why not :). Every time we drink air zam-zam we recite the dua'.

Completed our 4th umrah around 10:30 am. Went for a shopping spree after Asar prayer and walk around kaabah. Hubby's and kids too tired to walk some more. Probably because he performed Umrah in the morning. So I said enough with shopping. It is not our main purpose.

After prayer, Hubby and kids went to the Hira’ cave. The place where Rasulullah received the first verse of AlQuran - Iqra". The mountain is quite high and i managed to climb .I did not follow him. I felt much better afterwards that I managed to wash some clothes.
Slept tighty at nigt.

Day-6 : Makkah Al Mukkaramah.

After breakfast, went for ziarah to some historical places around Makkah. Our first stop is Jabal Thur, the place where Prophet s.a.w and Saidina Abu Bakar seek refuge from the Quraisy on their way to Madinah.

Our next stop is Padang Arafah and Jabal Rahmah, the place where Adam and Hawa met after being sent on earth. Singles can pray here for a life partner and couples can pray here for happiness and ever after. We prayed here together. I was thinking of taking a camel ride on the nicely decorated camel with hubby and taking photos together. It would surely be romantic but we were warned by our coordinator not to ride the camels as the ride was only 5 riyal but the guide carrying polaroid on their neck would be taking photos without our permission and charged us 10 riyal for each photos. You could end up having to pay 100 riyal for the ride. So common sense prevail. Too bad those guide thoughts conning people can sustain their business. Hubby must have felt very relief with our coordinators warning. He's not so keen with the idea when I first mentioned it.

We did not have the opportunity to visit the Jamrats because of the on-going construction works. Miqat at Mesjid Ja’aranah.

Completed our 3rd Umrah around 12:30 and in time for solat Zuhur. Slept whole afternoon till Asar. …really tired, slept early after dinner.…, With the 5 prayers, doing Umrah everyday, some sightseeing and the heat (and it was really hot) it was incredibly tiring. We didn’t sleep very much at all. And doing Umrah was tiring.

Your feet really start to hurt and get dry walking on hard ground so much.

Below are some pictures.

Mosque beside Jabal Uhud

Three thousand soldiers from Makkah faced 700 followers of Holy Prophet(SAW). It is here that the Holy Prophet (SAW) wounded and His uncle Hamzah was martyred. This is where he and the other Muslims are buried.

Jabal Uhud - The battle of Uhud took place here when the enemies of Holy Prophet(SAW) tried to destroy Islam.

At The Jabbal Rahmah

Camels have become my favourite animals! They are absolutely friendly creatures, and this particular one kept gently nudging its nose into my hand, thinking I had oats or edible treats for it. Truly gentle and majestic creatures, the camels.

Thats all for now, ...to be continued.

Day-4: Madinah al-Munawwarah/Makkah Al-Mukkaramah

After the subuh prayer, we don our ihram and went for ziarah wida’ to bid goodbye to Rasulullah with a promise that we will come to visit again, Insya-Allah...
Departed Madinah for Makkah at 09:00 am together with Ustaz Najamuddin.
Stopped to miqat at Bir Ali. Performed the sunnat-al-ihram, recited the dua' and talbiah.

Labaikallah hum malakbaik, labaikalla Shari kalab kalabbaik...

We stopped halfway to have lunch .The lunch was typically Arabic, where 4 of us shared one big plate consisting of what looked like fried rice, chicken, fish and vegetables. It was quite delicious. Maybe, it was because we were very hungry then :-).

We continue our journey after that and most of us fell asleep in the bus.

Day-4: Madinah al-Munawwarah/Makkah Al-Mukkaramah

We reached hotel at about 02:30 pm. We collect our bags from ground floor and went to our room to freshen up before performing our umrah. We gather in front of the hotel and our mutawwif led us to Masjidil Haram to perform our Umrah.

Its sooo massive! (I found out later the Masjid, not counting the streets and other outside areas where people also pray at times, as a capacity of over 850,000!!!) Walking in before I knew it I was right there in front of Ka’aba. It was so odd/incredible/wow to be right there. It was a lot bigger, particularly taller than I expected.

I remember when I was there; there was so much I wanted to say. So many things to describe. But I’m having trouble trying to describe it correctly now as well as I can’t recall everything I wanted to say at the time.

We reached Masjidil Haram about an hour before azan asar. So we managed to complete

our Tawaf by asar time. We performed tawaf - circurling the Kaabah 7 times. After Asar prayer, we continued with Saie. Going back and forth from the hill of Safa to Marwah 7 times. The distance between Safa and Marwah was about 400 metres each way, so we actually walked on the cemented floor with only socks on for about 2.8km in order to complete the sa'ee. After that, to end the umrah, we perfomed tahallul - the cutting of at least 3 strands of hair. This time Sa'i was really a challenge for me. I probably was too

tired with all the traveling and walking.

Our 1st umrah was completed before time for magrib prayer.
Alhamdulillah... I thank Allah for allowing me to fulfil my promise to bring my

two kids to this Baitul-Haram.

We slept early that night. Below are some pictures.

Everyone is equal. Prince and pauper wearing the same Ihram.

Inside hearts cry at the first sighting of the kaabah, over whelmed with the emotion and enormity of the achievement, of finally making it to the Holy City.

Sa'i between Hill of Safa and Marwah

The sa’i is a combined walk and jog/run performed 7 times between the hills of Safa and Marwah after the completion of tawaf, 2 rakaat Sunnah prayer and drinking Zam zam water from the spring in Masjidil Haram.

Day-1 : KL-DOHA-Jeddah-Madinah

Eight of us departed from KLIA at 00.55 am. Transited in Dubai for 4 hours.
Arrived at Jeddah airport at 02.00 pm and I was tired flying up and down from Malaysia to Doha, Qatar to Jeddah in 12 hours.

Soon exiting the arrival gate our passports were pulled together by the Umrah officer. The officer just glanced slightly towards me and asks for my Muhram so our passport was processed together. They took hubby's photo and fingerprints. That was normal procedure that Saudi immigration needed to copy the entire passport. It took nearly an hour to do that.

Everyone was asked to handover their passport after we leave the immigration area so

we were wondering if that's the right procedure. Our travel agent representatives met us

and say it's OK they'll handle everything..

The journey from Jeddah to Madinah by an air-condtioned bus took about 5 hours.

Ustaz Najamuddin, from Adalusia Travel was already waiting for us. Took a bus to Madinah and Something wrong with the bus front door so we’ve changed bus when the tour operator realized unexpected thing would came up. The rear bus moved too slowly.

We stopped on the way to perform asar prayer. The landmark is Lulu supermarket.

Our coordinator prepared a packed meal so everyone just sit or stand to eat

around the supermarket area. I don't feel like eating anyway so I put it back and just

take a bottle of mineral water. We continue our journey after that and most

of us fell asleep in the bus.

We arrived at our hotel in Madinah at 09.30 pm. Checked-in at Fairuz Al Satar Hotel. We gather at the hotel for taklimat and handling of keys while the hotel staff handles our luggage. We rest for a while, clean up and head to the mosque for prayer. Masjid Nabawi is only a short walking distance from our hotel. My first impression of Madinah was true. It is peace and tranquil city. The Hotel was right outside Al-Masjid al-Nabawi (which was also massive, 600,000 capacity). But the inside was amazing! The ceilings, chandeliers, the artwork, the pillars, everything was simply amazing.

Day-2: Madinah al-Munawwarah

After the Subuh prayer and take nasi lemak for breakfast and gather at the hotel lobby

by 07:00 a.m. for ziarah around the masjid area. It's a very short ziarah. The ladies were

advice to try to get to Raudhah after that since it's opening time for ladies.Once inside the mosque, we were segregated based on country. The lady guards would roughly know where you're from and would call "Ibu, Ibu, sini..." to Malaysians and Indonesians. The lady guards looked intimidating in their black abaya but if you look closer, they are very slim and young. Probably one of the criteria to be accepted to work there is they must have a loud voice. The Turks and Iranians were not the least bit intimidated by them. They would try to get around the guards but to no avail.

We were the second last group to be allowed to enter the Raudhah. I'm very thankful and managed to perform solat sunat and do'a while in there.

We visited makam Rasulullah to say Salam from family and friends.
"Salaam upon you Ya Rasulullah
From me and from the one who has requested me?
To convey Salaams to you."

At the Raudhah recited the dua'.

"Ya Allah,
Fulfill our needs,
And make our affairs easy,
And open our hearts
And accept our visit
And remove the fears
And grant us safety
And conceal our faults
And forgive our sins
And remove our difficulties
And let our end be with our good actions
And count us with your pious servants
Who do not fear or grieve by your mercy

I have no idea what happen to the male in our group so I walked back to the hotel and called our room. Hubby's and my kids reached our room already. It's already past 11 a.m. when I reached our hotel.
We went to the mosque for Isya'. I managed to get inside, iktikaf before prayer.
We return to hotel for dinner and went out again to walk around and do some shopping. Other than the shops, there's also open market so we were spoilt for choices. In one of the shop, the shopkeeper said Malaysia... Turkey... while pointing to hubby and me.
I smile and said," La! Malizia" In other shops, they would say Malaysia... Arab...while pointing to hubby and me :)I said the same thing. MasyaAllah they would say to hubby hehehe...
My Arabic vocabulary is very limited. Interestingly, some of the words I know, came to me one by one from memory. And as I was walking around, I can understand some of the road signs. We return to hotel at about 11 p.m. and fell asleep around 11:45 p.m.

Thank Allah for that.

Here's the original mosque with the green dome enclosed within the grand new mosque building. From our hotel, we couldn't see this dome. We have to walk to the front of the mosque to see it. We can enter the mosque through so many entrance and there are entrance at all sides of the mosque. We were told last time the mosque were closed from midnite to 3 a.m. but now it's open for 24 hours. We can see people in and around the mosque all the time either praying, reading the Qur'an or just hanging around with their family members inside the mosque compound spending their time together, even having their meals there.

Day-3: Madinah al-Munawwarah

We woke up at 04:00 a.m. That's considered late here. Azan is at 04:46 a.m. and we normally have to be at the mosque at least 10-15 minutes before the azan to get inside the mosque peacefully. So we reached the mosque quite late and by the time I reached the female praying area, there's no doubt I have to pray outside.

After the Subuh prayer and breakfast, got ready for ziarah at historical places around Madinah. Visited Masjid Quba’, Masjid Qiblatain, Masjid 7, Jabal Uhud and the Tamar Souk.

All along the journey, we were enlightened with interesting stories and tazkirah by

Ustaz Najamuddin.

As usual and I was kind of getting used to the delayed, the bus left the hotel at 08:30 am.

First destination was Jabal Uhud (Mount Uhud) and also to the ‘Perkuburan Shuhada’’.

The battle of Uhud took place here when the enemies of Holy Prophet (SAW)

tried to destroy Islam.

Three thousand soldiers from Makkah faced 700 followers of Holy Prophet SAW). It is here that the Holy Prophet (SAW) wounded and His uncle Hamzah was martyred. At the foothill is where he and the other Muslims are buried. There a lot of local street retailers were selling souvenirs and religious items.

After that we were heading to Masjid Qiblatain.

In the early days Jerusalem was the Qiblat.It is here that the Divine Order came to

pray towards Makkah. The original qiblat still clearly maintained.

I performed 2 rakaat Sunnah prayers inside.

Next we went to the Masjid Quba. This mosque is 4 miles from Madinah and is the

first Masjid built by Prophet Muhammad (SAW). I performed 2 raka’at Sunnah

prayers inside.

The last venue, we went to the Dates Field… “everyone’s crazy buying dates and chocolates made from dates” berebut-rebut ok”.. At noon…we make our last stop at the

Dates Market before heading back to the hotel…

Below are some pictures.

Just a convo I heard

A : Tak ada rasa takut ke nak gi umrah?

B : Entah. Ada perasaan. Tapi bukan takut rasanya. More like err apa tu macam..rasa tak sabar but on the other hand nervous. Tapi rasa macam sayu dan besar hati sangat. Asal? Apa yang ko takutkan?

A : Tak taulah

B : Tell me what you feel..

A : What if Allah hantar punishment kat aku for the sins that I have done when I am there?

B : *silence*You know what personally I hate this notion. This menakut-nakutkan oranglah menyebab kan I didn't want to go before. Bukan kita pergi sebab nakkan Mercy Alllah ke? What happen to tawbah? habis dah macam ni, sampai bila aku tak pergi. Lagipun Allah nak send punishment sekarang pun boleh.

A : But what if, you know?

B : Then if Allah decides that it is the best for me, He sends me punishment to expiate my sins, I submit. I submit! If Allah decrees that expiating it now is to leave me pure for the hereafter, I praise Him for His wisdom. Just make me worthy of His paradise.

Readers, My familys and I...,Insya Allah will be going for umrah tonight. Pray for me...

.::. NINE WORDS WOMEN USE .::.

2009-03-25T08:00:00.007+08:00

9 WORDS WOMEN USE

(1) Fine:
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes:
If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing:
This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you shou ld be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

(4) Go Ahead:
This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh:
This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) That's Okay:
This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. 'That's okay' means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thank you:
A woman is thanking you. Do not question or Faint. Just say 'you're welcome'.(I want to add in a clause here -- This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're wel come' ... that will bring on a 'whatever').

(8) Whatever:
Is a women's way of saying she heard what you said, but doesn't agree with it.

(9) Don't worry about it, I got it:
Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3. (I think that I probably use this one a lot! I feel like it anyway!)

"Do you love me?" (soalan standard lah ni)

"Yes"

"How do you know you love me?"

"Because I always kiss you."

"Where is this love that you feel?"
"huh?"

"Where do you feel it? In your eyes?"

"No."

"In your ears?"
"No"

"In your mouth?"
"No."

He was eating while I'm bombarding him with these questions.

"Where then?"

Still munching, he pointed to his stomach.

"In your tummy?"

"Yes!"

I must say that is quite close to his heart. He is a fine boy indeed.

Someone just told me that someone said, she takut to want to tegur me.

When this someone heard me made a joke, she was really surprised. And actually ask someone, whether I am usually funny?...HmmHmmHmm

I really don't know what to make of these.Am I garang, I ask myself? Do I look that scary

and people rather not approach me? Or aloof? Or kerek looking? And undeniably,

I know she is not the first to think so. I know quite numerous people feel the same way.

This is more apparent during the working days though. Unfortunately among the

female gender.

Self reflect : Tak kot. I think I am friendly. Approachable. Warm. Accommodating.

True self reflect : Hmm perhaps not. Sometimes I probably am not as approachable to people

I do not know. Tapi bukan semua orang macam tu ke? Hmm but I do wonder myself why other people make friends more easily than I do. But then, most of the time my efforts are too little. But if I do fall in love with you, I would go an extra mile for you.

With the prices of commodities going up every time you make your grocery shopping. It is best to be on a budget and make a list for stuff you want to buy in order to meet both ends. Impulsive buying is not good especially with the economy right now.

More people are being laid off from their jobs. With my family we try to save money by cooking our own food at home instead of eating out to the restaurants. It is really a great help…really..hahaha...but.. end of this month, I'm leaving somewhere again...where!...tunggguuu....

.::. BEING A FRIEND .::.

2009-03-11T21:46:00.006+08:00

Being A Freind......

To me, being a friends means being there for someone when they need it… Sometimes being there even when they say they don’t need it — but in this case, it requires some skills to make yourself ‘invisible’.

Being a friend to someone does not mean trying to change their way of thinking. Being a friend is not about telling your friend what is wrong. It is about giving advice (your opinion) and then providing support to them, regardless of whether they take your advice or not.
I guess many fail at this — sometimes I do too. As a ‘friend’, we think that our opinion is correct and that if our ‘friend’ does not follow, this means they are ‘wrong’. We end up nagging them and trying to change their thinking. By doing this, we ultimately push our

friend away.

I have seen a few cases where a friend gets into a relationship with someone that the rest of the friends (myself included) thinks its the wrong choice. As ‘friends’, we then tell that friend of ours that its wrong, it will be painful and that things will not work out. We nag, we scold, we preach…

But who are we to say what is right or not? If a friend decides that is what he or she wants, at most we can do is share our concerns. But if our friend wants to proceed, we should then support the friend and provide all the help and guidance. Instead of saying the relationship will not work out, we should try to share how to make a relationship work and last!

Correct?

2009-02-20T08:23:00.011+08:00

Dear friend...

I remember the feeling of being lost, being betrayed by life or being abandoned by everything that you believe. It’s an empty void, a black hole that sucks every single

one of your light into the eternal darkness. I know the feeling of losing everything that I care the most, everyone that I love and every single thing that matters to me.

It’s that little thorn inside your heart, bleeding you continuously until you

can’t feel anything else but pain.

But I would never tell you that I know what you are feeling right now.

Just allow me to tell you once and for all, my dear friend, that life would go on no

matter what. And we will walk again, letting the departed sleep peacefully in their dreams, while we relentlessly pursue ours. That is what they want us to do,

that is what we would want in their place.

Walk forward, my friend.

Regards,

Adikrose

OMG!.., I've been really sick with food poisoning .. I got last night!. Now I'm working but I'm still don't feel well today.

I believe the incidence of food poisoning occurs mainly because many of us like to eat food from the hawkers, the food preparation of which is suspect. Though fast-food outlets are supposed to be more hygenic, their quality control is sometimes compromised, especially during off peak hours when food prepared in advance is left lying in the food queue until someone orders the item.

Malasnya untuk memulakan perkerjaan di pejabat. Mungkin keletihan kerana menjaga fauzan yang sakit. Alhamdulillah hari ini fauzan hadir ke sekolah walaupun keadaan kesihatan yang masih belum baik sepenuhnya.

Malam tadi fauzan merajok ..emmhh merajok kerana ros tidak mahu membeli bubur nasi MacD yang dia pesan. Kata ros padanya..kita tak perlu beli lah, ibu boikot MacD Restoran., apa kata ibu masak saje pasti sedap dari bubur nasi MacD. Pada mulanya memang fauzan marah tapi bila melihat ros bersungguh-sungguh memasak di dapur dari marah, tukar kepada membantu memasak. Alaihai anak-anak,...penatnya melayan kerenah kalian.

Setelah selesai urusan di dapur lagi satu kerja yang perlu ros pantau..homework anak2. Sebelum masuk tidur ros pastikan mereka selesaikan kerja-kerja sekolah yang cikgu beri atau ulang kaji mata pelajaran yang cikgu ajar. Nampaknya tahun ini ros perlu beri tumpuan pada anak2, takut mereka leka..ya leka....seperti ros yang masih leka dengan keduniaan...sedangkan usia ros kian meningkat.

Semalam, setelah usai solat magrib ros membawa fauzan ke kelinik lagi. Ros tengok

badan nya masih panas lagi dan keadaan nya yang lemah. Balik dari kelinik ros buatkan

bubur nasi...alhamdullilah banyak juga fauzan makan. Lepas makan ubat,

ros suruh fauzan solat dan tidur awal.

Bangun pagi ros terus mendapatkan fauzan dan lihat keadaannya. Alhamdullilah panas

badan sudah berkurangan cuma katanya badan nya masih lemah lagi. Ros suruh dia berehat

saje di rumah tak perlu lagi ke sekolah dan doktor pun ada memberi cuti sakit.

Fahmi merungut kepada ros..mengapa angah tu tak pergi sekolah,

lamanya dia sakit. Mungkin perasaan cemburu fahmi kepada fauzan kerana

kata fahmi pada ros...Ibu, kita kalau sakit cuma satu hari aje kenapa angah tu lama..,

manja sangat kot. Hahaha...kata-kata fahmi membuat ros ketawa di pagi hari.

Sebelum pergi kerja ros pesan pada fauzan jangan lupa makan ubat dan

kalau boleh ulangkaji pelajaran kerana sudah 3 hari tidak ke sekolah byk pelajaran yang tertinggal. Ibu doa kan agar fauzan cepat sembuh dan kembali ceria..

"cepat sembuh ya Fauzan"

.::. FAUZAN SAKIT .::.

2009-01-13T18:13:00.010+08:00

Hari ini sudah 2 hari fauzan tidak ke sekolah...sakit kepala. Risau juga ros melihat keadaan fauzan sejak kebelakangan ni..asyik mengadu sakit kepala. Perasaan takut atau fobia bila anak2 sakit ni...terutama fauzan. Ada cerita di sebalik perasaan takut tu...

Peristiwa 10 tahun yang lepas, ketika itu umur fauzan hampir 2 tahun..pada ketika itu fauzan demam panas. Pada petang sabtu..fauzan minta susu kepada ros..setelah habis susu di minum, fauzan tertidur dan ros tinggal fauzan seketika untuk membasuh botol susu. Pada waktu itu hanya ros dan fauzan saje yang berada di rumah. Ayah dan hubby ke hospital melihat sepupu ros yang sakit. Tiba-tiba terdengar fauzan memanggil nama ros ,..ibu..ibu.., berlari ros mendapatkannya ...waktu itu lah tiba2 badan dia kejang dan kena sawan tarik. Ros panik, berlari ke rumah jiran meminta pertolongan. Makcik badriah terus mendapatkan fauzan dan menyuruh anak2 dia membawa air batu dan air sejuk untuk di siram kepada fauzan...ros seperti nak pitam pada ketika tu...hanya mampu menangis dan berdoa pada allah agar tiada perkara yang buruk berlaku pada fauzan.

Alhamdullilah sawan tarik fauzan berkurangan tapi badannya masih panas dan lemah. Ros dan anak jiran terus membawa fauzan ke kelinik..keadaan jalan raya waktu tu pula sesak nak sampai ke klinik mengambil waktu yang begitu lama. Di dalam kereta Ros hampir jadi orang gila kerana tiada tindakbalas dari fauzan bila ros memanggil namanya. Sampai ke kelinik ros terus saje masuk ke bilik doktor...ros tak pedulikan orang-orang sekeliling..bagi ros nyawa anak ros lebih penting. Alhamdulillah doktor faham dan mengambil fauzan dalam pelukkan ros dan serah kepada jururawat. Mereka suruh ros keluar dari bilik doktor tapi ros enggan kerana bagi ros, fauzan perlu berada di depan mata ros...akhirnya doktor menyalah dan meminta agar ros bersabar. Setengah jam kemudian terdengar fauzan memanggil ..ibu..ibu...ibu.

Pada waktu tu lah hubby ros sampai dan tanya apa terjadi pada fauzan...

ros hanya mampu menangis tanpa berkata-kata....lidah ros kelu.

Hanya kata-kata...syukur alhamdulillah fauzan selamat.

Sejak dari kejadian sawan tarik tu, ros sanggup tidak melelapkan mata jika anak2 tidak sihat. Biar lah ros berjaga dari malam hingga ke pagi....ros takut...ya takut peristiwa fauzan terjadi kepada anak2 yang lain...

Anak-anak ku..., ibu bukan lah ibu yang baik tapi ibu mahu menjadi ibu yang terbaik untuk kalian. Ibu yang penuh dengan kasih dan sayang. Kalian lah permata ibu di dalam dunia ini...

doa ibu agar kalian dapat menjadi anak yang soleh dan taat kepada orang tua....

.::. TODAY IS 10 MUHARRAM .::.

2009-01-07T08:06:00.003+08:00

Muharram Menjelang Lagi

Dalam bulan Muharram hari yang paling bertuah ialah hari ke-10 atau lebih dikenali dengan nama Hari Asyura' IAITU PADA HARI RABU 7 JANUARI 2009 . Pada hari tersebut kita disunatkan berpuasa.Malah dalam mazhab Imam Hanafi puasa hari ke-10 dalam bulan Muharram ini adalah satu-satunya fardhu puasa yang pertama sebelum difardhukan puasa bulan Ramadhan.Hadith daripada Aisyah: "Sesiapa ingin berpuasa (sunat 10 Muharram) maka bolehlah dia berpuasa.

Dan sesiapa yang tak ingin berpuasa maka boleh dia tinggalkan". Hadith riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim.Malah dalam sebuah hadith riwayat Muslim Nabi berpuasa pada 10 Muharram kerana pada hari tersebut diselamatkan Nabi Musa a.s daripada lemas dan juga daripada buruan Firaun.

KELEBIHAN

Baginda bersabda: "Berpuasa sunat pada 10 Muharram akan menghapuskan dosa setahun sebelumnya". Riwayat Muslim.Dari Ibnu Abbas r.a berkata Rasulullah S.A.W bersabda : " Sesiapa yang berpuasa pada hari Aasyura (10 Muharram) maka Allah S.W.T akan memberi kepadanya pahala 10,000 malaikat dan sesiapa yang berpuasa pada hari Aasyura (10 Muharram) maka akan diberi pahala 10,000 orang berhaji dan berumrah, dan 10,000 pahala orang mati syahid, dan barang siapa yang mengusap kepala anak-anak yatim pada hari tersebut maka Allah S.W.T akan menaikkan dengan setiap rambut satu darjat. Dan sesiapa yang memberi makan kepada orang yang berbuka puasa pada orang mukmin pada hari Aasyura, maka seolah-olah dia memberi makan pada seluruh ummat Rasulullah S.A.W yang berbuka puasa dan mengenyangkan perut mereka." Lalu para sahabat bertanya Rasulullah S.A.W : " Ya Rasulullah S.A.W, adakah Allah telah melebihkan hari Aasyura daripada hari-hari lain?". Maka berkata Rasulullah S.A.W : " Ya, memang benar, Allah Taala menjadikan langit dan bumi pada hari Aasyura, menjadikan laut pada hari Aasyura, menjadikan bukit-bukit pada hari Aasyura, menjadikan Nabi Adam dan juga Hawa pada hari Aasyura, lahirnya Nabi Ibrahim juga pada hari Aasyura, dan Allah S.W.T menyelamatkan Nabi Ibrahim dari api juga pada hari Aasyura, Allah S.W.T menenggelamkan Fir'aun pada hari Aasyura, menyembuhkan penyakit Nabi Ayyub a.s pada hari Aasyura, Allah S.W.T menerima taubat Nabi Adam pada hari Aasyura, Allah S.W.T mengampunkan dosa Nabi Daud pada hari Aasyura, Allah S.W.T mengembalikan kerajaan Nabi Sulaiman juga pada hari Aasyura, dan akan terjadi hari kiamat itu juga pada hari Aasyura !".

BEZAKAN PUASA DENGAN ORANG YAHUDI
Oleh kerana orang Yahudi juga berpuasa pada 10 Muharram maka disunatkan umat Islam berpuasa sejak 9 Muharram lagi bagi membezakan dengan puasa orang Yahudi. Hadith ini dikhabarkan oleh Ibnu Abbas dalam sebuah hadith riwayat Muslim dan Abu Daud.

Atau kalau tidak dapat dikerjakan pada 9 Muharram maka boleh juga digandingkan 10 Muharram dengan 11 Muharram.

SEJARAH 10 MUHARRAM
Imam al-Ghazali menyebut dalam kitabnya Mukha syafatul Qulub bahawa pada tarikh tersebut:

(1) Terbunuhnya Sayyidina Hussain (cucu Nabi) di Karbala'.
(2) Diterima taubat Nabi Adam a.s.
(3) Dicipta Adam a.s.
(4) Dimasukkan Adam a.s ke dalam syurga.
(5) Dicipta arasy, Kursi, langit, matahari, bulan, bintang-bintang.
(6) Dilahirkan Nabi Ibrahim a.s.
(7) Selamat Nabi Ibrahin daripada api Namrud.
(8) Selamat Musa dan pengikutnya.
(9) Lemas Firaun.
(10) Dilahirkan Nabi Isa a.s.
(11) Diangkat Nabi Isa kelangit.
(12) Diangkat Nabi Idris ke langit.
(13) Mendaratnya kapal Nabi Nuh dengan selamat di atas bukit Judy.
(14) Nabi Sulaiman diberi kerajaan yang besar.
(15) Dikeluarkan Nabi Yunus dari perut ikan Nun.
(16) Nabi Ya'kub dapat melihat kembali selepas daripada menjadi buta.
(17) Dikeluarkan Nabi Yusuf daripada telaga buta.
(18) Disembuhkan Nabi Ayyub daripada penyakitnya.
(19) Hujan yang pertama turun dari langit kebumi.

Semoga dengan sedikit info ini akan mengerakkan lagi hati kita untuk terus beramal kepadaNya walaupun di keadaan yang sibuk dengan sebarang urusan sekalipun...*copy and paste from my email*

2009-01-06T07:55:00.013+08:00

Sejak dua minggu yang lepas ros sibuk menguruskan keperluan asas persekolahan anak2. Daripada buku2,beg,kasut dan pakaian semua ros uruskan. Pening jugak lah bila tengok list perbelanjaan persekolahan 3 orang anak. Jika di bandingkan zaman ros sekolah dulu tak lah sebanyak sekarang. Itu dulu 30 tahun yang lepas tak boleh nak samakan. Bila ros merungut pada anak-anak...mereka kata..itu dulu ibu, zaman dah berubah.

Hari ini memang hari yang memenatkan ros. Selesai sekolah kebangsaan...,

sebelah petang pula uruskan sekolah agama. Bolah tahan juga yuran yang perlu di bayar.... emmhh..betul kata faiz, zaman dah berubah. Kenderaan pergi dan balik dari sekolah juga ros uruskan pada hari yang sama.

Teringat ros pada zaman persekolahan dulu, kasut dan beg jarang beli, itu pun jika2 betul dah rosak atau koyak. Nak kata ros beli yang murah...tak lah jugak. Mungkin dulu barang2 yang di jual berkualiti dan kita pula pandai menjaga dengan baik. Itu pendapat ros lah...sebenarnya perkara2 begini terpulang pada diri kita sendiri...kita yang memakai dan menggunakannya. Tadi sewaktu ros menghantar anak ke kelas, terdengar kata2 seorang guru...saya tidak kisah kamu memakai kasut yang mahal atau yang murah tapi saya mahu lihat kamu semua memakai kasut yang putih dan bersih. Emmhh..., betul kata guru tu kan.

Dulu waktu zaman persekolah ros, tak ada istilah penat dan tension. Homework pun taklah banyak seperti zaman sekarang...banyak sangat..ros yang penat siapkan homework anak2..haha ibu siapkan. Dulu ros balik dari sekolah semua keperluan dah di sediakan oleh ibu dan sebelah petang boleh pergi bermain dengan rakan-rakan. Galah panjang, guli, baling selipar, kondakondi, polis entry, teng-teng, baling bola tin dan macam-macam lagi. Itu lah permainan zaman kanak-kanak ros, yang kini hampir pupus. Bila hari hampir malam baru pulang ke rumah..itu pun setelah ibu menjerit memanggil jika tidak tak ingat jalan pulang.

Setuju tak dengan ros, rasanya alam kanak-kanak lah yang paling indah...betul tak.

.::.MY WEDDING ANNIVESARY TODAY.::.

2008-12-28T18:17:00.004+08:00

Today is our wedding anniversary.. Alhamdulillah dgn kurniaan dan keizinan Allah.. nothing much we can do to celebrate this moment. However we did cherished and enjoyed every moment in our life, through hard time and good time. We are glad having one another to lean on and to share anything. Urguing, nagging, etc were normal for a married couple but through that we get to know our couple in a better way.

Hubby....

Sometimes I think about the first time I realized that I love you...
It was as if my eyes took a picture at that moment and stored it in my heart.

Sometimes I think about how much my life has changed because of you.

I think about you and your happiness..
about us and our life together..

and I realized that you are as much a part of me now as the air I breathe and the dreams I nurture.

But from time to time, I still like to remember the first time I looked into your eyes and

saw my future there.

I Love You

Simply just have no mood,

So, mood pun macam tu jugak.

Lately, mood asyik on off. Nak update blog pun, macam nak tak nak. Macam macam benda yang nak disampaikan but tak sampai sampai. Bila ros duduk diam jea, idea and semuanya datang. Bila jari ni nak menaip nak bercerita, terus kepala jadi blank. Idea tu lari. Tiba tiba benda yang nak disampaikan tu pun, hilang...&& bila benda tu hilang,
perasaan pun tukar jadi suram...

Sampai bila laa mood swing ni nak berterusan...

2008-12-13T14:08:00.008+08:00

Okay. It's okay to want someone you cant have. It's okay to keep friendships when you don't want them, or want something more. It's okay to cry when you're hurt, and its okay to stay mad at someone who hurt you. Believe it or not, It's always gonna be okay. That's just how it works. sometimes, things don't always work out the way you want them to, and a lot of times, it seems like they never will.

But it's okay, that's how life suppose to go. It's all about learning how to deal with the bumpy parts in the road & waiting til they're smooth again. It's all about forgiving and forgetting. It's all about waiting and wishing. That's just how life is.

I can forgive, but somehow I wish I can forget.

.::.MY GRATEFUL .::.

2008-12-12T22:27:00.019+08:00

I know I have so much to be grateful for, although I don’t always remember every minute of everyday. What I am most grateful for are the people I have in my life that love and care for me, and who I love and care for in return.I am thankful every day for my life and where I’ve ended up. Life has been good to me and I always count my blessings. I think that’s important for me to enjoy the simple things in my life.

I'm grateful for Allah whom I trust for giving me life, good health and guidance . I'm grateful for the love of my husband because he says when we met he knew he wanted me
for his own and has never made me feel that he changed his mind. A beautiful caring man who is giving me everything my heart has desired.

I have been grateful for my children because it is still amazing to hear "I love you IBU" and

I get to hear it regularly.

I have been grateful for my wonderful friends here who give me the strengh to live also when I'm down. A friends like you is almost too good to be true. The laughter, the tears we have been thought them over the years. The time, we have shared no one could compare. The lessons we have learned , the time we have been burned , the moments together we have made those will never fade.

I just want you to know how much I cherish you so. We are able to talk about our deepest hopes, fears and confusions with each other without any judgment. I am so blessed.

Everyday...there is always something to be grateful about...

Life is beautiful, and so are you!

They say and say and say. They yell and keep yelling. I say that it would not solve anything..They say that it just a part of what we called freedom of expression.

They say that what others do is a cruel thing to do.

Eehhmm....,

Maybe it is true. That my mind is as shallow as you think it is. And me minding what

some people say and do. Called me sensitive and all. Nothing in this world is going to

be a 100% going the way we want. Because you will always like this one thing and like

people who like it too. In other moments you will like this one thing and hate people

who like it too. That happened too with the hate thing. But so it is. What happened

before is going to be a lesson for me (and maybe for you too). Saying mean things and all,

is not going to took us anywhere. Saying every good and bad thing without thinking what others may think is wrong too.

Going to remember it.

Going to forgive it.

Going to keep learning.

Going to move on.

Life is not only black and white.

Life is not only true or false.

Make peace not war.

CHEERS!!!

I find that when I am grateful my day goes perfectly but when I am not grateful my day is a mess. I know that being grateful is hard to do all the time so I try to stay as grateful as I can. I am grateful for my family, my friends and my home. I am grateful for my work that supplies me with the money to support myself. I am so blessed by all the love and support around me all the time.

I had reported to my new workplace yesterday. What a change compared to my previous working place. Firstly, the place is exceptionally quite, why because most of the people are on the field performing their work. Secondly, the environment is so tense where I could hardly find something to crake a joke (maybe it's only the second day). But work is work wherever you go, I would just have to follow the rules laid upon me or else I would not know what will happen to me. So far, I am okay..:)

.::. MY JOURNEY~Stanley Market, WanCai Market and Last Day .::.

2008-11-14T01:05:00.073+08:00

We started off the morning with roti canai and the most delicious teh tarik.

Eemmhh.., my favourite.

Loitering around Causeway Bay (Tung Lo Wan) and took a ride on HK oldest transportation aka tram. After satisfied with our photography skill of trams and busy road at Causeway Bay we head to Stanley Market via bus.

Bamboo Scaffolding! They're doing repair work to the building.

Inside the bus

Beautiful and so nice scenery...taken by Nokia HP

~STANLEY MARKET~

Main attraction is Murray House. It’s situated at the Stanley seaside is a restored three-storey colonial building that was dismantled in from its original site in Central and then rebuilt in Stanley.

Nothing is too grand here in Stanley. We are unpretentious, just a little fishing village at heart. The shop owners work with the clothing factories in Southern China so there are several outlets - and you never know what will show up on any given day.

Bargains and Bargaining...:) always kan.

The beach here was beautiful, The water was calm and very clear, and a large shark net could be seen from the shore. Most of the beaches in Hong Kong have these shark nets, and if they do not, you are strongly advised NOT to go swimming at all.

~WANCHAI MARKET~

Nothing else to do I took a stroll through Wanchai market.

It’s a permanent market, which is open every day and consists of shops and stalls,

selling everything from vegetables.

~LAST DAY AT HK~

My dreamer....I tinggalkan kat HK.

One (above) is the longest ESCALATOR in the world.

How would you like to commute to work on an outdoor escalator carved into a mountain? Thousands do every day in Hong Kong.

The Midlevels escalator is actually a series of covered escalators and moving sidewalks about a half-mile long. It is the longest outdoor escalator in the world.The escalator starts at Midlevels, an upscale residential area popular with expats, and ends in Central, which is home to the city’s financial district. The ride from top to bottom is about 20 minutes long.During rush hour it runs down hill full of business people heading to work. At about 10:30 a.m.

it reverses and transports people up the mountain for the rest of the day.

It shuts down around midnight.

I wish I could go to office like this

Dream..dream....isk!
Finally reaching the last day of my trip.. din't expect myself to complete writing about the whole trip.. haahhahaa.... well on this day we are scheduled to return to Malaysia... I was like yeah!!! because I think I was really sick and yearning to come back...

Goodbye Hongkong, welcome realistic.

~THE END~

.::. MY JOURNEY~Macau and Harbour City .::.

2008-11-13T20:20:00.075+08:00

Wake up early morning and I have extra energy to explore macau until late hehehehe..,
Lovely morning with blue sky and its not raining yeahhh….

Had breakfast at the hotel as usual and we started to pack our stuff.

The egg tarts of Macau will blow your mind away ... fabulous! I liked this, mmmmmh!

I’m in the city center which is very European. While there are parts of Hong Kong which seem very British, I don’t think the British left their stamp on Hong Kong as hard as the Portuguese left theirs on Macau.

The Portugese influence and past is still strongly present in Macau ...

The Macau Tower

I like this building...pink colour you!!

Yeahaaa..

OMG.. We travelled on foot a lot. And I mean A LOTTTT..!! Sampai sakit-sakit kaki lah dibuatnya..LOL. We didn’t do much except for taking some photos of the building.

It was already 12pm then. We’ve decided to go back to the hotel.

Check-out from my room..only one beg..oh no, more than one..hehe.

Around 2 we check-out from hotel and stulle bus take me to feri..going back to hongkong. I dont take many picture at Macau because my time is Macau to shot. May be I come again and visit many place to visit. Perjalanan ferry laju dari macau ke Kowloon mengambil sekitar 1 jam dan berlabuh di Jetty complex .

Inside the shuttle bus

~ HABOUR CITY~

Usai solat Magrib, kami menuju ke Central Hong Kong District, pusat beli-belah terkemuka di sini. Emhh, aktiviti shopping lagi.. Banyak pilihan dan harganya juga berpatutan, dari barangan berjenama sehinggalah yang dihasilkan di Hong Kong sendiri, rasanya lebih banyak masa perlu diperuntukkan untuk aktiviti shopping di sini.:)

~A Symphony of Lights~

A Symphony of Lights pernah tercatat di Guinness World Records sebagai “the world’s largest permanent light and sound show”.So... Fantastik!

I just sat there and look... completely captivated by their night view. There's a symphony of lights show at 8pm daily, best viewed from Avenue of Stars. The show is spectacular as the lights and lasers danced to the music.

It was really beautiful and with great views of the harbor. ... If you cannot afford it, spend at least one night.

I am really tired at night ....really really tired :)

.::. MY JOURNEY~Shenzen, Zhuhai and Macau .::.

2008-11-13T13:11:00.142+08:00

~ Continuing with our exploration ~

I got up around 6.00 aarghh so sleepy but I must wake up,

Selepas sarapan maggi mee yang kak Gee bawa kami terus check-out dari hotel kerana Kami perlu keluar awal kerana akan singgah di Low Hu untuk mengambil beberapa pasang baju yang ros tempah. Dari Lo hu kami akan menaiki bas menuju ke Zhuhai.

Perjalanan mengambil masa selama 2 jam.

Inilah air botol fresh oren yang menjadi kegemaran ros..murah tidak lah mahal seperti di malaysia harga sebotol dalam RM1.80.

Di dalam bas menuju ke Zhuhai...

Beautiful scenery

~Zhu Hai~

Shopping in Zhuhai, just shop at the underground shopping mall, once u are out of the border. Very big and many hundreds of shops! But, my advise is, do not go to Zhuhai, until u been to Shenzhen. Things at Shenzhen, Dongmen shopping district, are much much cheaper than in Zhuhai. The difference could go up to 100RMB or more! Besides, its more easier to bargain in Shenzhen, than in Zhuhai. For me, I like shopping at the "Dong Men Ding Shopping Centre" at Shenzhen, DongMen shopping district. The fashion is similar to those of Hongkong, and cheaper too.

I did some shopping. And again I must stress to you that.. TAK CUKUP MASAAA! *sigh*
Left Zhuhai around 2pm, we cleared Zhuhai immigration at around 3.15pm.

~MACAU ~

Anyway, from Zhuhai, one can just walk across the border into Macau. Well yes of course you'll need to pass through immigration. Macau is my favorite place of the three places I visited. It is filled with culture and heritage with a fair mix of shopping and casino in between. Marvellous indeed.

Macau lies about 40 miles away from Hong Kong and was a former colony of Portugal. It was handed back to China in 1999 and has a status similar to Hong Kong as a Special Administrative Region. It has its own currency as well as its own immigration rules and entrance policies. While it has traditionally been overshadowed by Hong Kong, Macau has come into its own lately as the gambling center of Asia. Macau is a pretty tiny place. Even by Honk Kong standards (which is small) Macau is pretty small.

Berehat seketika untuk melepaskan penat. Selepas solat magrib kami akan bertemu dengan 2 keluarga dari Malaysia yang telah lama menetap di Macau hampir 30 tahun. Mereka bawa kami makan malam di sebuah restoran muslim (sori tak tahu kawasan mana).

Bersama dengan 2 orang warga malaysia yang berkahwin dengan rakyat china dan macau. Mereka berasal dari penang. Tapi sayang anak-anak mereka tidak pandai berbahasa melayu.

Eat..and eat...sebanyak mana kita boleh makan..LOL

After dinner ,We took the shuttle bus from the Hotel to Macau Island. Macau is made up of 2 main islands, namely Macau Island and Taipa Island, and some other smaller ones.

Macau, stunning by night ... The lights and animation display really caught my eyes. Not to mention the unique hotel designs.

Macau by night is cool!

...the design of the place is quite classy and elegant and all their shops and restaurants are obviously targeting the up-class consumers with their super high prices. So poor people like me, will just entertain myself by taking pictures and more pictures..haha. Alright..just some nice pics of this place.

We went exploring the Venetion and we passed by the Casino but didn't really go in to check out the place...reminds me of the 'canggih' alien space ship. Once you’re in there… well…

Photographs of the actual gods was not allowed, so you have to come and see them yourself. Enjoy the pics.

The place is so huge that we can go on walking.. on and on and on.. .. I was kinda lost not knowing where was I :p There’re a lot of boutiques and outlets there but we didn’t really shop. All we got was some small souvenirs.

With a fake sky that also changes to day and night.

On the way back to the hotel we stopped by the Grand Lisboa casino to see what it was like. The Grand Lisboa building is stunning, the lights, the unique flower/lotus design is something to behold and the interior is even more stylish.

Overall we had a good day, saw lots of interesting stuff - and I'm stiff now from walking so much.

Some people just can make anything positive or negative.. if you know what I mean :p

We spent 30 mins outside Casino Wynn too to watch the beautiful Musical Fountain performance. The night scene in macau is also very nice....lots of neon light..colourful lightings to brighten up the night.... we were also treated to a fireworks show near the macau tower as it was part of the macau international fireworks festival the day we went.

Alrights. Time to sleep. Huhuhu...Still home sweet home :)

.::. MY JOURNEY~Window of the World,Shenzen,China .::.

2008-11-12T21:19:00.117+08:00

BREAKFAST...OH ..BREAKFAST

Sarapan pagi pada hari ini adalah di sebuah kedai makan yang diusahakan oleh sekumpulan China Muslim. Menunya banyak sungguh sehingga tak tahu nak order yang mana.Rindunya dengan teh tarik dan roti canai..huhuhu..

Semasa di kedai makan tu ada satu perkara yang menarik perhatian. Tukang masaknya membuat mee/ramen hanya bila ada order. Time tu dia uli..time tu dia celur..time tu dia masak. Main tarik-tarik aje dengan tangan, tak perlu guna mesin atau alat pemotong. Rasanya lebih cepat dan pantas. Agaknya bila ros boleh buat mee macam tu...berbulan atau bertahun..LOL.

~~WINDOW OF THE WORLD, ZHENZEN~~

Entrance of Window of the World

Let’s go and join me…

Yeah… Finally, I paid a visit to Window of the World at Shenzhen
This was created by a Hong Kong entrepreneur who decided to bring the world to the Chinese People. Window of the World is the answer to anyone who dreams of going to different countries but does not have enough money nor time. This must be one of the globalizations done by China. Imagine...it's a one stop travel and whoola! We only paid RMB 120 per person to have seen more than a hundred of replicas!. Instead of visiting The Eiffel Tower, The Pyramids, Holland, Big Ben, New York, The White House, Peru, Sydney Harbour Bridge, they come to you. Have a look at some of the pictures.

Warming up to get in… haha:)

This is an Eiffel tower replica at the Window of the World. Everyone Luv it!

Paris, the city of romance. isn't the tower cool, too bad that it is not lighted up!!

Dear readers just imagine,

Within one day, you can visit many reproductions of famous sites from different countries. For example you can find the Mahamuni Pagoda of Rangoon and the Angkor Wat of Cambodia here. European architectural splendors, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Ancient Athens, the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Tower of London will carry you back to the cradle of classical European culture. When you tour the miniature Roman Colosseum, you might notice a cruel and bloody scene. Enjoy the picturesque scenery as you take a gondola along the canals of Venice. Mysterious Africa is always full of life and vigor. Here, the Pyramids and the Sphinx are quietly waiting for your visit. After traveling through typical African hamlets, you come to the Oceania. Sydney Opera House, which boasts a unique style, is a landmark not only of Australia but also the whole Oceania. Looking from a distance, it looks like a luminous pearl on the vast expanse of blue sea water. The rumbles of Niagara Falls and the Grand Canyon lead you to the America, a young continent. These two natural wonders are awe-inspiring.

Moving on to modern civilization, in the replica of Manhattan you will see rows of

towering skyscrapers. No wonder they say the rhythm of life speeds up here.

The Roman Colosseum

Replica of the Statue of Liberty

Alps Ice and Snow World

The park consists of 9 scenic areas: the World Square, Asia Zone, Africa Zone, Europe Zone, America Zone, Oceania Zone, Modern High-tech Recreational Zone, World Sculpture Zone and the International Street . Here one can appreciate the spectacular sights of the world's greatest feats of architecture, such as the Pyramids of Egypt, Angkor Wat of Cambodia, Arch of Triumph (Arc de Triomphe) in Paris. Apart from that, visitors can also enjoy drifting in the American Grand Canyon, skiing in the Alps Indoor Skiing Field, exploring the labyrinthic Amazon Jungle and the Earth's Core of Greenland, viewing the mountain torrents of Venezuela and the volcano burst of Hawaii, playing with dinosaurs, and go hunting with bow or rifle in the wild woods.

Great Pyramids of Giza (Eygpt)

Pyramids and the Sphinx

Yeah, next stop Egypt, its so cool seeing this so near yet so far, think i still can't manage to take down the majestic of the place.

Welcome to the Jurassic Park in China, first we have to "crawl" under the big bones to enter, come follow me...

I forgot to take note that what species is it. Haha..Don't play play...ok

You shoot me, I kill you!

The ruins of the ancient Mayan Empire (Central America)

The Niagara Falls

The tour was such a wonderful experience. It took us half day to cover the entire world. I was able to feel what is was like to have snow...to be splashed by water from the falls, to stand between boulders..to watch how windmills work.

The Idyllic Sights of Windmills and Tulips, Holland
and Japanese Lake Garden.

It was already night time when we finished the tour. Since we were too tired and hungry, we decided not to watch a performance. We headed off to a hearty meal in a resto nearby. Take dinner at Muslim Restoran, Muslim Hotel, Shenzen.

OK, that’s the end of the Window of the World. We spend whole day there and left the place at about 7pm.So do I like Shenzen????? hahaha …..Stay tuned!!

Next episode From shenzen to Zhuhai and Macau..

~~ Home sweet Home ~~

At Robinson Height Condominium

~~Breakfast at Islamic Center Canteen...~~

Dim Sum..yumyum..Delicious,..I like it.

Islamic Centre Canteen terdapat di dalam Masjid Ammar and Osman Ramju Sadick Islamic Centre, 40 Oi Kwan Road, Wan Chai. Ia menjual pelbagai juadah Hongkong asli seperti

Dim Sum, dumpling dan sebagainya. Ia dimiliki pasangan Cina Hongkong beragama Islam,

Encik Jaman Markar, 55 tahun, dan isteri, Cik Maryam Markar.Ia terletak di antara

stesen MTR Wan Chai dan Causeway Bay. Great place. Fifth floor of an islamic center.

Great masjid, nice restaurant, great food. It is cheap also. Sundays are extremely crowded, but i just loved it.

Sila lah makan, menikmati juadah Hongkong yang asli tetapi halal tersedia.“Mengapa dim sum? Seperti semua sedia maklum dim sum antara makanan tradisi masyarakat Cina secara turun-temurun. Tidak lengkap rasanya jika pelancong asing pulang tanpa menikmati keenakan asli hidangan dim sum...betuk tak?

Satu lagi tempat yang tidak boleh anda lepaskan ialah di 21A Ashley Road, Tsim Sha Tsui (disebut Chim Sa Chui) terdapat restoran makanan halal milik anak Melayu Singapura, Encik Abdul Kader Caffoor dan seorang warga Hongkong, Encik Andy Cheng.
Restorannya menjual pelbagai hidangan termasuk snek ala Hongkong iaitu roti bakar.
Menurut Encik Abdul Kader, terdapat pelbagai tempat makan menjual makanan Timur Tengah dan India. Namun, anda harus berhati-hati kerana walaupun halal, ada yang menjual minuman keras...sendiri ingat lah ya..LOL.

Cantik kan gambar ka'abah yang di buat dari batu mar-mar ni..creative kan.

The Masjid Ammar and Osman Ramju Sadick Islamic Centre, filling eight storeys in Wan Chai, was opened in 1981 and houses a masjid on two floors, a community hall, a library, a medical clinic, classrooms and offices. The masjid is managed by the Islamic Union of Hong Kong and accommodates 700 people but can hold up to 1 500 by using other space in the centre.

Selepas selesai solat Jumaat / zuhur

Imam Masjid dari Mekah membuat tazkirah dan menjadi imam pada hari itu..ramai orang hendak bersalaman dengan imam tersebut. Ros berselisih dengan Imam tu ketika turun dari tingkat satu dan dia memberi salam kepada ros...terharunya. Pada pukul 3 petang, setelah perut kenyang dan usai solat. Kami pun meneruskan perjalanan kami ke Shenzen.

~~The Journey to Shenzhen through Lo Wu, China ~~

Kami menuju ke tanah besar China, Shenzhen dengan menaiki MTR-KCR atau keretapi dari Tsim Sha Tsui. Dari sini kami perlu berhenti di stesyen Lohu, ada transit untuk tukar train supaya tidak terlajak ke Lok Ma Chau. Setelah keluar dari imigresen Hong Kong, kami berjalan kaki pula untuk masuk ke sempadan Shenzhen.

Di dalam MTR menuju ke Lo Hu..border Mainland.

Lo Wu (Luo Hu) Commercial City is just across form the Hong Kong border. It offers a very different experience to shopping in Hong Kong and is therefore worth a visit if only spending a short time in China. Spread over several levels are many small stores, each selling similar products: watches, jewellery, handbags, clothes and DVDs. These products are rarely authentic but are mostly impressively detailed fakes. Yok! shopping again.

Lady's accessories you can get them cheaper here. What you get in Malaysia all came from China.

Lau Hu Shopping Mall...you can never finish it within a day. Many shops and everything under the sky. That people use to say but be smart to bargain. If not you are the real loser.

Selesai dengan urusan visa ,imigresen dan window shopping. kami menuju ke stesyen metro MTR Shenzhen yang terletak bertentangan dengan pusat Imigresen, untuk menuju ke destinasi hotel penginapan kami di Dong Men, only two stations away on the train from Lo Wu.

Setelah check-in kami hanya letak beg di bilik hotel dan solat. Kemudian kami keluar window shopping di kawasan berdekatan hotel. Actually Dong Men is a good place for shopping, cheap goods --- just cheap, not so interesting. Don't get me wrong, I luv to bargain and hanggle, but this was even too much for me.

The Alien taken care by a shop in Dong Men....takut!!

Water to quench thirst and washing....The idea is not bad isn't it....

We were feeling hungry and decided to have dinner at MacD ..oh no..11.45pm. After dinner we headed back to the hotel to rest.

My bed...tired...,oh just too tired with our daytrip.

Next episode Window of The World, Shenzen.
