Hi, so here am I going to write my whole journey to KSA for umrah. I going to make the story briefly so you guys won’t read too much! Enjoy & cheers……
27th June 2007
I was glad that I missed the school trip to CC b’coz we had to left earlier than we thought. So, if I go to the trip, I gonna make family late to Doha. But I wasn’t pleased missing the last day of school because I haven’t say a proper thank you to Ms. Pattison, Ms Malabar & Mr. William. So, I kind of miss the “crying part” of the last day school.
So, everything went smoothly except the public toilet near to the Qatar custom. It was clean but Stink, filled with ammonia, the smell of the urine, YUCK! We had our dinner there and guess what? We ate HOT instant noodles in the bus, YUMMEy! I thought everything going to go smoothly as I wish BUT suddenly there was a problem, only for me. I got stuck at the Qatar’s custom because I haven’t got the security pass to KSA. So, the whole 6 families’ member had it & I don’t. So, our organizer (MAQ) had to sort it out & took him 30 minutes to get it signed by an officer( he’s hot!) while others have to wait “extra” 30 min in the bus because of ME! *sign*
farah & her friends on the to KSA.

Alhamdulillah! Finally I got chance to see the Kaabah. It was beautiful, I can’t describe how beautiful it is in words & sorry guys, no pictures allowed inside the mosque. Uhh, guess what? I always went in & out to the mosque especially during Zohor & Asar because there was a HOT & CUTE guard in front of the main door (thank god the hotel was near to the mosque). That’s why I kept walked in & out in the same door just want to see him & showing my bag-pack on purpose so he could check on me but too bad he couldn’t speak English, he did ask where I’m from. Haaa….Nadia, you meenie girl!! I know, I know….I’m supposed to *face* the god, not searching for a hot guy but I just couldn’t help it!!! Even my second sister was “stuck” with him too……every time we passed the gate, we stared at him like “wild girl” Damn it. I am going to get punishment for it!!!
Mama enjoyed her shopping
29th June 2007
Mmmm, guess I already got a punishment from god because on that day I felt really sick & I also got allergic, don’t know where is it comes from, my whole arm were itchy & full of red spots, like the mosquito’s’ bites. Even worse, I got a whole one hour lecture from my mom for not obeying her. I still went to mosque even although I’m damn sick. Sickness from the God, I believe. The hotel I stayed in was “ok”, it’s very near to the mosque.

The allergic was getting better on tht day but still, it looked like chicken pox. I had to do all the dishes since our family doesn’t pretty much enjoying the outside meal because it was crowed all the time, full of mans I should say. I did “tawaf sunat”, it’s some kind of prayer that can only be done in Mecca(Kaabah).
near to the Masjidil Haram
1st June 2007
My parents & Farah did umrah for my grandparents & my dad’s sister who rest peacefully in heaven. They did it just to “pahala”( good deeds). I can’t go because I got sore throat & it’s painful like hell! So, I stayed at hotel with my little sister.
2nd – 4th July 2007
Personal prayer in Mecca & visited many historical places in Mecca. Those pictures will “explain” everything.
5th – 7th July 2007
Went to Madinah just for visiting & praying, no time for shopping. I met this new Uztaz who just arrived at Madinah to be our tour guide. Man, he damn cute! He can speaks fluent Arabic, English and Bahasa( he’s Indonesian, Medan) but he’s just married & live happily with his wife in Qatar. Oh, how unlucky! But I still talked to him as in “teacher” & “student”. He’s cute & young. We went home at 7th July & this journey felt so long. It’s so different from other vacation. Very different indeed & closer to Allah.
