Andalusia 1

 

Costa Del Sol-Pantai Matahari

Not in the mood of words. Haih... just the normal ups downs of words usage. ;)

Alas.

p/s: OMG! I haven't updating my blog for a month for a very non-concrete reason? Gosh!

Road to Andalusia

Actually, this is not the 'history'. This is my-story. 

The first plan was actually backpacking. But it then turn up we had to cancel the backpacking and I have to join a group of other friends. They were planning to go under Kelana Convoy. 

I was actually thinking of low-budget trip. Hence, I really need to pray istikharah and ask for guidance. And Alhamdulillah... Allah reminded me of the permission and condition for a Muslimah in travelling. And travelling with a trustable agent is permissible in Islam.

We arrived one day earlier due to ticket price. So we're supposed to pay extra payment for the stay and food. eheh. But we tried to persuade KC because we're leaving earlier, hence the payment can be assumed compensated. KC agreed but in return, we need to help the cooking.

Of course its no problem to us than to pay the extra payment. And since the other group arrive quite late. :P

So we spent the first day by going to Rhonda, an old Roman city. Also because KC want to survey the potential there for their future trip. So there we went.

I think I've heard the name before. Perhaps from the book but I really couldn't find it in my memory. After reaching home, I searched about Rhonda and tadaaaa, it was the home of Abbas ibn Firnas. The first man who try to fly. And the first who tried to invent plane.

And he did fly. He was 72 years old during his successful attempt to fly. By using real feathers sewed to silk, he flew. The problem he forgot was how to land. He didn't notice the bird has tail to work as resistance during landing and he only got wings back then.

He fell, and suffered broken bones almost everywhere and not long after this fallen accident he died. May Allah bless his soul and his idea. Rhonda can be categorized as highland. Then it's no wonder Ibn Firnas inspired by the idea of flying.

And the scenery was breathtaking. Subhanallah. We're just a small, almost to nothing when compared to these greater creation of Allah.

Beauty

Should we hear, or see, or feel, or celebrate the beauty?

Rhonda, Andalusia. :)

Twice

Twice. I went to Jordan just to 'get out'. ahah. Funny. Yet, the fate is written so. Let the pictures do the job now.

 

Departure: This boy keeps playing-fighting with his brother. In front of us. :D But this time, his brother is crying. ;)

 

Landed: Its raining. :D

Queen Alia Airport: Lengang. Nak dibandingkan dengan Cairo (walaupun semasa keadaan normal; bukan rusuhan ;) )

 

FIrst dish: Okay. I remember Kabsah only. The others. Sorry. :P We order 3 for the 3 of us, and the next day, we had breakfast of the unfinished 3. Salma said, orang Malaysia selalu habis je sepinggan sorang. Worries dominated our stomachs more than hungry. @-)

I mean... me. Lotsa things to be worried. Unable to eat eventhough the last meal was about more than 12hours.

 

Duwar Sa3ah : The clock's roundabout...? 

 

Senja. Looking for Cik Ainul's house. :P

 

Edible stones. eheh. ;) Coklat batu. I think we only found this in Jordan. Yes, they were not the stones you see in the aquarium.

 

Eating at Madam Nida's house. My ex-housmate in INTEC.

 

=d> Proof. We DID go to Jordan. ahah.

Night-walking. :D

~Das Ende~

Ich verlor Worte. Aber sicher Allah weiß es am besten. :D

Salam Warahmatullah. 

Ketibaan

Ketibaan pacal yang hina di Tanah Melayu.
Alhamdulillah 'ala kulli hal. :D

Nombor telefon bakal diiklankan di status ym. :) Tapi bukan hari ni sebab jejak rumah pun lebih kurang pukul 12 tengah malam. :P
Jazakumullah untuk doa. :D

Countdown 2

Day 4

Rushing to find some chocolates. As my sister keep repeating everytime I called her, she wants chocolate. But then, the ammu said no chocolate because its summer now. And all chocolates melt. Ouh... :-s I thought everybody is going back in summer, and they are just able to find chocolate. haih... worried. :( Need to think faster where am I going to find chocolate. Anak bongsu selalu macam tu kan? Jadi tak sampai hati nak let her request down. Then, tried to go to Ben al-Kasren. Alhamdulillah, too many chocolates there. Ouh what a relief. :)

Settle down, take a look at the luggages as I haven't touch them yet. Bismillah, try to open the luggage. Subhanallah, there are some stuffs I bought from Turkey and Syria already for my family. I almost forgot all of them. Ada hikmahnya sekarang sengkek dan tak beli banyak barang masa shopping hari tu. :D

Akhawat stopped at Khaulah for prayer. MasyaAllah, missing them. Have some chats, jokes all around. Honestly, missing you girls.

Day 5

Waking up from sleep, looking on my table, some gifts from my muhajirin. May Allah bless  you. :D Housemate sent an sms, saying Hanan sent mi udang and she cooked some mushroom soup. Subhanallah. Actually I haven't think about what to eat for these few days. Just hoping the yogurt and telur rebus are just fine as I consumed not much energy. Just settled some few housewife stuffs in the house.

In the evening got a call to celebrate Nisa's birthday. Masya-Allah. Too many blessings. Get dressed and went to Villa Raihan. Tetiba birthday girl mengidam choc cake? Dalam hati, ya Rabbi baru je tadi tengok gambar kek coklat and rasa drooling sangat. Tapi tahan kot-kot dapat makan kat homeland nanti. Tetiba Allah nak bagi hadiah pulak. :D Thats why I shouted out, eh I mengidam the same thing with birthday girl. Ada kek aiskrim lagi. Uncountable blessings. And I got a choc cake also. They said for breakfast, lunch and dinner tomorrow? ;) heh. Whatever. :P

Caramel-Hazelnut Ice Cream Cake

Calling-calling for the matter of transport to the airport tomorrow. Alhamdulillah, we planned, still Allah has His own plan. Just pray may Allah easen everything for tomorrow.

Went back home, on the net. Ouh... the calling for work. Needs to finish some jobs. Read this and that. Watch this and that. Fill in the planner. Moga Allah bagi keberkatan masa untuk setiap benda yang ditulis dalam planner.

Day 6

In less than 24hours for my flight to homeland. Checking the domestic flight, some stuffs. Tetiba berdebar pulak dah. :-s May Allah easen everything. Need to check the list doa requested. 

Doa during musafir. InsyaAllah, may Allah grants all the dua from this sinful slave.

Just out of sudden I remember about Surah al-Mulk.

Do they not see the birds above them, spreading out their wings and folding them in? None upholds them except the Most Beneficent (Allah). Verily, He is the All-Seer of everything. [67:19]

Allah is the One who holds the aeroplane above the sky. Every single thing around us is jundullah. The sky, the wind, the earth, the clouds, the rain. May Allah makes His soldiers calm and safe for our journey. :D

Glorified be He, Who took His slave  for a journey by night from Al-Masjid-al-Haram (at Makkah) to the farthest mosque (in Jerusalem), the neighbourhood whereof We have blessed, in order that We might show him of Our signs. Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer. [17:1]

al-Isra' from Ardul Kinanah to homeland. al-Mikraj through the earthly sky. :D

Subhanallah :D Everything in His hands.

Pray for our safe journey. Safe journey for you too Kak Balqis. :D Jangan sedih-sedih. InsyaAllah the shorter the time, the sweeter the memories. The longer the time, the stronger the bond. :D

Fi ri3ayatillah~ :)

Countdown 1

Day 1

Alhamdulillah. Life's moving fast. But still alhamdulillah for His blessings. Ahli beit is going back to Malaysia.

And doing ziarah, then some pengisian jiwa yang kosong. Oh the topic about solat is just very nice in this Rejab. Rasulullah received the obligation of prayers directly from Allah. Subhanalllah. :D See the close relation of a servant to his Lord in prayers.

Day 2

And I really got many things in tawasi(berwasiat) session. Fasting. Going to Hussein. Shopping. Ouh I really hate this thing actually. But have to. Just few things for the sengkek reason. Whatsoever it is. Allah judge the intention inside right, not the value of the things. InsyaAllah thing from heart goes to hearts. ;)

Babysits the cute little creature. Ouh... how cute is she?

Ni Wafa' punya stail posing baru. :P

Day 3

Messing up the house. heh. I mean my rooms. I took a pic. I mean my books. Not my room of course as my room is my aurah. Why must I expose my aurah to public right? 

special thanks to anak pakcik yaakob for the help. patah pinggang den. :P

There's israk mikraj talk today by sheikh azhar(I dont know his name). But I didnt go. Ouh sad actually. I must plan my day better perhaps. :(
Meeting akhawat. It has been a long time since we've talk much right. Macam-macam cerita ada bila dah lama tak borak-borak ni. InsyaAllah may everything goes well as planned.

Then cik bulat and cik kimi going back to homeland tonight. Ouh ouh one by one goes back. And I'm waiting for my turn insyaAllah. Lepak-lepak in Nailah al-Farafishah tonight. On cik kimi desk? :P  haha.

I am suppose to read books. Okay, its summer break now. yeah, read books! 

I've to read. Iqra'! Iqra'! Iqra'! Eventhough it's not going to be in a such pleasant environment as above. :P
Its free time now! And I'm young to do many things. And I should gain knowledge more and more. :D Keeping myself busy? Yes, thats what I'm wishing for. :D

Pemuda dan masa lapang itu awal maksiat-Amru Khaled.

Not maksiat, yet the real 'beginning'. 
Wait for the 2nd part of countdown. heh. beria. :P insyaAllah kalau rajin.

And I've to say, I've a serious caffeine withdrawal syndrome. I feel like I've turn into a gorilla. :-< err...or a cute koala? /:) Better koala perhaps. :P

Farawlah

Gambar je hiperbola.

The pager. Canggih Mo'men sekarang ni. Pekerja semua malas nak hantar order kat meja sekarang ni ek. :P

The comment form. Ask Mizstrawbery what name I wrote here. ahah

The meal.

The surrounding.

At the moment I heard what you ordered, seriously I wonder ;) . Ni dah tensen sangat ke sampai order banyak sangat? ahah. 

Now I know... its the hormonal works. haha. Same with me. Thanks for the order and treat.

Too bad I didnt got my ice-cream. But out of sudden, TODAY somebody give me ice cream. Much better than the Mo'men ice-cream. See, Allah is too close. Either we realized it or not.


Jazakumallah Miss Farawlah and orang yang bagi aiskrim hari ni. :D
Eventho I shouldnt eat cold foods, I cant resist ice cream la. ahah.
Consider the pain later. I'll take another ponstan.  :P


Orang Msia kalau nak makan Mo'men, pergi kat Shah Alam. Tak ingat seksyen berapa.
Dan tak tahulah kalau meals dia edited jadi taste melayu sikit.


And....
this is not in Mo'men.





The lil handsome mujahid, Ezzat.
The 3rd day in this full-of everything-world.
so comel! 
Pandai dia tengok kamera time makcik s*** amik gambar dia. :D
May Allah bless this lil mujahid. 
Alhamdulillah, thanks God seeing him, wipes away my sorrow. :D

Fall in love

Jatuh cinta dengan warna-warninya,

Jatuh cinta dengan sarang burungnya,

Jatuh cinta dengan keunikan kaligrafinya,

Jatuh cinta dengan pintu-pintu masjidnya,

Jatuh cinta dengan kelazatan hidangannya,

Jatuh cinta dengan bayu dari kota lamanya,

Jatuh cinta dengan keindahan sejarah silamnya,

Jatuh cinta dengan kelembutan tutur penghuninya.

Jatuh cinta dengan tanah di seberang sempadannya, al-Quds.

Dataran Syam'09.

Perempuannya cantik amat, lelakinya kacak sungguh, anak-anaknya kemerahan pipi disapu naseem dingin.

Dengan izin Allah, mahu ke sana lagi mengambil hati yang tercicir.

hoho. apakah aku merapu?

p/s: ouh... post Bahasa Melayu? haha. kak yana, can you see? ahah.

Kagum dengan diri sendiri. Astaghfirullah... ;) Kepala saya ting-tong hari ni sebab kelas cancel lepas satu jam setengah tunggu doktor yang tak sampai-sampai. :P

Serene

Between this

Capadoccia'09

And this

Marsa Matrouh'09

I choose this.

Where my heart is.

p/s: Rindu bayu Laut Cina Selatan. Hadoi... ENT.

Mixture

Assalamualaikum...

What a lazy blogger. Heh, when the medical school turns into theatre school, its so tiring.

But no pain, no gain. And also, what a long time I haven't speak in English. Being in 'school of theatre' forced me to polish my english. huh, too bad!

What a 'mixture' of emotions.

Life's getting more challenging. And I have to agree much, much more with what Imam Hassan Al-Banna said, tasks more than time we have.

Too many things to do, to many jobs to be caught up. People might see, I'm solely a medical student. Oh... please change your mind please. I'm a medical student, I'm a blogger, I'm a member of a bureau, I'm a housemate, I'm a daughter, I'm a daie and the task go on.

You have to face the 8-3 class. Then, you go here and there. And back home... and looking at your to do list. Why I still having many tasks not fulfill yet. BUT, I still have time to looking, waiting over facebook update? Huh! This shouldnt exist in a mukmin life.

We always said, we have many jobs to do and never have enough time to finish all the jobs given. But I rather said that, we dont have barakah in our time actually.

As an example, the members of Ikhwanul Muslimin rahimahumullah. In the subh prayer they were in Cairo, in the zuhr, they might be in another districts, in maghrib they move to the another. Qiyamullail in different mosques. Then, in the morning again, people met them in Cairo. In the meanwhile, they are the employee of a company, they are the teachers in school, they are the politicians, they are the doctors working in hospital. Subhanallah. See how they manage their time. How barakah their lives were.

And I just noticed, most of my work is in front of computer. Working as technician, then as the designer, then as an article/photo/video editor, then be the article writer, then as the googler, and the list go on. Masya-Allah. Kadang-kadang rasa penat sangat. And when I've to go out without finishing my works, the tension headache starts visiting. Adoi. Lagi la penat. But at the same time, buat benda yang tak berfaedah pun banyak jugak. Konon killing my time. Huh, actually I'm killing my life. Coz time=life. Astaghfirullah....

Making a to read list makes me suffocating. What a list~

This is pic of raya haji

Menu:Soto, nasi impit, lemang, kuah kacang, rendang, pie apple.

Then this is visit to Alexandria.

Nas alullah barakah fi hayatina. Insya-Allah.

Bila duk fikir penat tu... nanti kadang-kadang terus hilang bila teringat balasan kat syurga nanti. Dunia bukan tempat berehat.

May Allah easen our path.

Entry tertangguh

These are pics from Program Sure Khatan 2008 (dah setahun dia duduk dalam draft rupanya... sampai terlupa nak post. *rolling*)

Hidden Emerald-Part 2(last)

Salam 'alaikum...

Last part, in the Topkapi Palace some of prophets, ashaburrasul belongings were also there.

Among the items were-that I still remember

1-Pedang Umar, Abu Bakr, Khalid al-Walid, Ali-the biggest sword. Gerun den nengok.

2-Kaftan/Jubah of Fatimah binti Muhammad, Hussein bin Ali. Dan.... tak ingat... :(

Sekali pandang baju tu... you might think beggar mana yang pakai baju macam ni... Tapi, bila tengok nama. Gulp! Ya Allah, diorang tukarkan semua nikmat dunia dengan nikmat syurga sana.

3-Bow of Nabi Daud

4-Tongkat Nabi Musa-sekali tengok cam rotan biasa je... tapi bertuahnya jadi rotan tu, Nabi Allah yang guna dia. Diri...isk...isk... banyaknya dosa.

5-TANGAN Nabi Yahya-but in steel case. You can still the the muscles and tendon in there.

6-Mangkuk Nabi Ibrahim.

8-Nabi Sulaiman punya serban/or is it Nabi Yusuf. Maaf, diriku sudah lupa.

7-Last that I still remember, capal Rasulullah peace be upon him.

Oh... ada jugak pameran about Kaabah punya construction, buku-buku yang tak difahami langsung.

(Actually, tulis dalam kertas benda-benda ni. But I lost it. Huwaaa!!)

on the way~

they're cooking
pakcik tengah panggil orang....

Balik mek consist of- Ikan yang sudah dibuang tulang dan kepalanya-fillet like smoked on the 'teroleng-oleng sampan', salad,bawang serta angkatannya inside the bread. Dan lemon juice untuk dituang atas isi ikan tu. Suka hati nak tuang banyak mana pun. Hot... but its just nice in the cold of winter.Berasap-asap...sedap~

Teringat ikan...teringat pada Ustaz Abdul Mun'im...haih~ apakah ini? Adakah ini tanda-tanda perlu ambil kelas arab masa cuti? Or tanda-tanda bahasa arabku sudah berkarat balik? Or tanda-tanda 'tak buat' kerja yang ustaz suruh?

:P

Be on the cruise=be in jiwang mode. :P or is it 'sleep mode'

Dolmabache Palace-betul ke eja macam ni?

The bridge connecting Asia and Europe

Spice bazar

Selingan:

Inside the Topkapi Palace

Policewoman: Pardon, miss. No camera is allowed here.

Me: Ouh...sorry. I dont know. (sebab menonong je masuk tak tengok notice board)

Policewoman: *smile*

Me: *Buat muka innocent* (Nasiblah makcik, gambar ni dah termasuk dalam kameraku. Gambar baju raya sultan pulak tu-evil laugh dalam hati)

p/s:sampai tahun depan pun tak habis cerita pasal Turki kalau post macam ni... :P In the blog-hopping mode. Not blog-posting. Sorry.

Feeling like want to 'private' my blog. Patutkah? Or better Andalus in a separate blog... haih~tak laratlah nak control banyak-banyak blog. Yang ini pun tunggang terbalik :( Any idea?
