working tonite... tommorrow FUN FUN FUN!

Even though i'll be working tonite, more specifically 10pm til 3am. You might ask yourself, wat would i be doing? Well, some testing and stuff, i dun really know til i get there. I was not forced to but instead volunteered. So biar kan tia, i won't sleep tonight d aeroplane saja. My GOD, the total flight time is terrifying. SOO lama and a lot of waiting. Never mind. The important thing in mind is I AM GOING TO U.S. TO ENJOY HAHAHAHA..

Just finished packing. I think i have everything. Checked online, the weather is about 10 degrees celcius. So might be a little bit chilly. I think i left some of my thicker shirts in uk with Suzz. Oh well, If inda cukup, will just have to buy there. All thats left to bali is some contact lenses and if ada masa gunting rambut which i so malas. Can i just cut it myself, biar tia not even, just say its the 'Style' now. Yeah dats a thought, might actually do it for real.

Passport check, ticket check, and THE most important thing for this trip are my credit cards, a definite check!!!!

So for now, ciao bella. Will try to do an update on our trip if ada free time.

San Francisco + Hot springs + Viva LAs vegas... here we come... WOOOHOOO

Counting days to ....

Yay, roughly 7 more days till we fly off to the great state of America. More specifically, San Fo and Hot springs. Never been to hot springs before. through the web, looks as though its a little bit country or 'kampong' like. But might be fun. kalau inda pun, a road trip is never out of the question. oh dat reminds me to endorse my drivers license. i still can't imagine the long flight time. More than 24 hours including all the connecting flights. Hmmm, so, some of the 'must have' items in my hand carry bag are spare underwear, shirt, my favourite crossword and a reading book. But im so glad that were taking Singapore airlines for this haul. At least the entertainment system is reliable. Bukan macam RBA, which is SO unpredictable. What else? apa lagi kan d bawa ah?

Lets celebrate "World Health Day" 2010 .....

Well, i thought i would just share with you all what this day mean to the whole world. Its "world health day". more importantly, this is the day where we ought to create “awareness on a specific health theme to highlight a priority area of concern". For 2010 its to be part of a global movement to make CITIES HEALTHIER. Thats right people you read it right. We all know we live in a busy world, living in a polluted filled atmosphere. So to those of you who care enough for our planet, lets be more thoughtful today onwards. Recycle, carpool (if possible) and walk more, not only its good for the air but for your health too. be the one to initiate then others may follow. Leading by example is the way to greatness. Get with the program people!

Finally, wedding daze is over. Last night was very nice. especially enjoyed the performances, and kudos to Suzz for the surprise number. My first time to actually praise bruneian singers but last night, the 'seeds', well, both were exceptional. the big guy .. WOW.. such a lovely and controlled voice.. hahha and mamu got star struck, TTR tarus ia when they went on stage.. hahah FUN-NY..

Lots of empty seats during the night. Such a waste but nevertheless its their lost to those who didnt show up. Awal org balik, didnt get to take a lot of pics.

umrah trip pt 2

well after about 5 days in Medinah, now we're off to Mekah. So its a 5 hour journey. all in our ihrams, reached kota Mekah roughly 8.45pm then to the hotel. Had dinner, then to our rooms to freshen up. So we gathered to perform tawaf and saie at 10.15pm. was very excited to see the actual kabah in 2 years. OOh and the zam zam was excellent, sajuk and couldnt get enough of it. Papa had to use the wheelchair bcos of his condition. so he was done faster. Ayman got tired during the 5th saie, sakit kaki nya. kesian jua. his cheeks turned very red sampai subuh.. so we all got back the hotel at around 1 ish am. the room is fitted with a stereo especially for azan. so we were surprise to hear the subuh azan going in the room. hahha baru jua tidur nasib ada speaker if not, i dont think we would have known its subuh.

so its the new hotel, not as glam as people say it is. the finishings very poor. hotel baru but banyak mould on the walls. how can that be??? one things for sure, never ending hotel guests. always full. oohh ate hardees AGAIN nyaman.

we were busy looking for a good spot for every waktu. Mau jua nampak kabah time sembahyang, so we had to jalan to the opposite side to get a good place. one time during zuhur, we sembahyang sunat undur the sun arah d marble floor. hahah it was soo hot but the kabah was right in front of us. and we took some pictures tooo..

to be continued...

what happened - umrah trip pt1

didnt realize the flight to Jeddah takes about 9 hours plus. Thought it was only 4 - 5 hours. Slept all the way to Jeddah. Once we landed Jeddah, it was another 7 hours by bus to Medinah. OOuchhhh... Weather wise upon our arrival, roughly 25 degrees celcius. It was cooler during subuh when we stopped at one of the service station for solat. in all honesty, the bus could have been a lot better. we reached medinah at 9am, got our room keys and settled in. all of us were on the same floor just next to each other. so you can imagine how noisy it can be.

how different it was compared to Hajj. the moment we entered masjid nabawi to the queue at raudah. it was so peacefully very relaxed. we could take our time to pray and doa. i think almost everyday we visited raudah, alhamdulillah. it got a little bit crowded the week of maulud nabi. i think it was also a school holiday in medinah and the umrah visit was open for public, so people from indonesia and malaysia started to arrive in groups.

well our typical day is to go for solat subuh, then breakfast. not all the shops are not open till after asar. so we just strolled around and bought things whenever we see somthing good. Food was everywhere, shawarmas to burgers. Wow the Portobello melt was amazing. yummy. im not a meat lover but this burger was absolutely delicious. u should all try it if you ever get a chance to buy from Hardees. well my main staple food was corn in a cup. never miss a day. hahah.. maybe dats why i go to the loo almost every waktu. and plus the air zam zam helped. ooh dats another routine we have. upon entering the mosque minum zam zam then just before walking out another cup. yummy, and refreshing.

we did some visits while we were in medinah, the gunung gunung and etc. and then bought some kurma. Kurma Nabi was the nicest among all. Papas 73rd birthday was on the 21st February. we didnt know what to buy. inda lain parfum but we wanted sumthin different. so after a while, we noticed the specially designed canes at some jewellery shops. we bought him one of those with little pearl and silver inlays on the cane. It took us 3 days to go back and forth as the shop was not open for some reason. we also got him a gold woven ayat carpet. very nice indeed. Nasib jua he liked both of the gifts.

so after 5 days in medinah, next is to Mekah...
