a few days of a lifetime..

salam

back.these few days was exhausting.but i wudnt change it wif anything in my life.seriously. like i said bfore menteri di jabatan perdana menteri which handles hajj,n other islamic concern portfolio, YB Dato Seri Zahid Hamidi came for several meeting plus visit malaysian ppl in mekkah,madinah n jeddah plus doin umrah.he is the 2nd important malaysian in arab after the PM himself.wanting to maximize my visit here,i tagged along with the rombongan to mekah n madinah.that means more umrah n more time visiting Nabi in madinah.

day1 was fine.a bit boring though.i went to madinah by land with tabung haji's GMC.my parents escorting YB with airplane the day after so im all alone.kitorang gerak ptg so by 1030mlm camtu baru sampai madinah.cam blur sket coz im all alone.check in n all.alhamdulillah the room was nice.bebetul kat dpn masjid nabawi.

cam rase xsedap lak sampai jer trus nak lepak so bersiap n i went to masjid nabawi nak sembahyang sunat n ziarah makam Rasullullah.pegi2 jer pintu biasa kat depan tu all tutup n pengawal xbagi masuk.dier ckp bahsa arab.I think it means sumthing about i need to go sumwhere to bab-assalam coz its the onli door that opens that time.ako pun xputus asa mencari2 pintu tu.jauh jugak ako kene pusing the big masjid nabawi.

but it pays.it seriously does when masuk jer terus jumpe raudah depan mata.i tried to squeeze in n ader la sorang mamat arab ni tepuk ako n suro smayang tepi dier.org cam pack2 but thanx to that guy,dpt gak smayang jap citu.lama jugak ako doa tapi cam sian org ramai berdiri lagi n ako pun 2-3 hari lagi kat madinah,ako pun bangun n terus ke makam Rasullullah.Again,alhamduliah org takderla seramai yg macam pernah ako igt.sempat lagi ako bace quran depan maqam Nabi tu.kira betul xramai la tu.coz mlm kot.then ako pun berangkat balik hotel.

second day ako gi suboh pon sorang.rupa2nyer my dad's flight was delayed.drg sampai ptg.ako

pun meronda2la cari souvenior utk krg.(eh krg akan dpt souvenior ke?=P)

rupenyer my luck belom abis lagi.we had an 'official ziarah' plak.with YB la ofcourse.this time we didnt walk thru masjid nabawi to the maqam but naik kete pusing la sejauh2nyer just so that we can park depan pintu to maqam nabi.

turun2 jer ader guard escort kitorang.rupenyer2 drg lead kitorang directly tepi maqam nabi.mashaAllah sgt sgt beruntung ako rase masetu.solat maghrib n isyak kat situ.in the next pic kg leh tgk dier siap hadangkan lagi tempat kitorang smayang.rupeneyr mmg tempat tu khas utk pembesar2 luarnegara kalau dtg.can u imagine,DrM might have prayed at the same spot as i am..huu

pastu drg bwk plak gi raudah.masyaAllah ako terkesima lagi sekali bila drg dah tutup sebahagian raudah tu khas so that kitorangleh smayang situ.mmg xpenah ako smayang kat raudah setenang itu.lama gakla ako duduk sane.uish sgt sgt beruntung ako rase.

lepas tu bile semorang dah keluar after isya,dier bagi pulak tangkap gambar coz menteri nak.so ape lagi tanpa segan silu la semorang dah xsorok2 camera dah..biler nak dpt peluangkan?
later that night kitorang makan pulak kat one exclusive restaurant kat pinggir bandar madinah.ako rase cam jauh la plak perjalanan,nak dinner jer kot.taula bwk menteri but its already near 11.later i found out that they purposely took the longer route as madinah's gabenor havent arrive to that place yet.dah sampai tu we were seated kat waiting room dulu.

then we have our dinner.i cudnt take pic as it was dark plus makan semeja ngan menteri kot.


the third day,kitorang berihram n terus ke mekah.meraselah ako duduk kat the most expensive hotel in mekah.alTauhid Intercontinental hotel.

cam if i were to describe one by one trust me its goin to be long.but i have to highlight this.

lif dier.u need to press the desired floor on the panel outside then itll direct to which lif that brings u to that floor.so cam dlm tu xyah tekan2 maner.n xkan stop kat several floor amik orang lain or org lain nak turun.sgtla cun ako rase.n one more thing kat tv dier ader satu channel live telecast of the kaabah itself.so kira cam bole tgk la ramai org ke tak.if xramai leh la turun wat tawaf.camtula kot.


but mase tu hari jumat.so mmgla sgt sgt ramai org kat masjidilharam.dlm otak ako camnerla nak tawaf dgn jaga protokol menteri lagi.rupe2nyer its crazy.there's ppl amikkan selipar kitorang mase nak masok masjidil haram.ader gourds jaga depan ,tepi n belakang kitorang jaga n bagi lalauan utk group kitorang.so cam tgh2 lautan orang tu,cam ader satu bulatan gaped for us.cam xpatut lak ako rase as we r all the same kat dpn kaabah kan?thats the veri reason of evrione wearin ihram in the 1st place kan?but my dad explains the arabs sgt2 la menghormati tetamu plus its an official visit.bukan dier dtg saje2 bercuti.so cam ok la kot.tapi mmg xyah ckp la keselesaannyer.huu.siap ader ustaz jeritkan kat kitorang doa.so xyahla terkial2 bace dari buku.then saei was the same thing.it wasnt the best umrah i have experience as i cant march in the crowd to reach hajarulaswad or slip thru my way to depan pintu kaabah to doa but it was defnately one cheerish experience.

the last day was in jeddah.after makan n jumpe org msia kat jeddah lak,we were invited to the house of the most rich person in whole arab.he owns 260 company!!! which includes airlines,14tv station with his own satelit,foods n mcm2 larh.gila he really redefine filthy rich.penah jog kat titiwangsa lake?i think taman dier jer besar tu.crazy yes sgt crazy.there is swimming pools,lake with bridge n fountains,basketball,tennis n squash court,FOOTBALL FIELD..n masjid pon ader.giler giler.
kat dlm the food is the best i have ever tasted.ako xberani tangkap gambar coz its so damn official that i my manner was really put in test.nak jalan pon control taw.the living room was soo big that it accommodated 9big sets of settee!!!n the sofa's tu siap ukir2 bagai..haish the food plak cam unexplained.just name it n its there,salmon,SUSHI!!,kibas,chicken..all sort of cuisine.cam manggis n strawberries pon ader!! giler tak?n all those fruit were sent to his house from all the continent.mangoes from pakistan,n sumerla.so all kind of fruit ader..the plates,fork n spoon sumer gold plated.talking bout gold kat tandas dier pon all pure gold coated!!everything!no not everythin la but most of it.


ruper2nyer the house yg kitorng gi tu actually family house jer..korang leh byg tak umah dier camner.its situated even far inside..wow tu baru dier the kings?well org arab mmg camni.kaya yang melampau.kalau krg nak tau,istana kat sini kat tepi laut,n xtend to bwh laut,cam the walls are glasses n u can see the ocean.masyaAllah..
now its too long i dont know how to end this ahaa.but byk yg ako tgk here n insyaAllah ill share lagi k! till then

owh lupe gambar pilihan kali ini khas to a fren.seriously,u need to stop k =(
