Beijing Trip II....

This is my 2nd trip to Beijing. The 1st was in winter of December 2002. This time I thought it was autumn, tapi rupa2nya end of summer, so the scenery were not that exciting. Anyway these were some of the places we visited....,

the people that I went with ( the last time was with my IMR buddies)....,

and the last photo is of the woman whose life is to harass tourists with her merchandise ( I gave her a taste of her own medicine by trying to sell her something using the words she uses...how much, how much..10 yuan..ok ok 5 yuan...ok ok 5 yuan for 2..hehe,... lari dia takuttt)...

Mengimbau kenangan lalu...

Kini Ramadan datang lagi...almost 7 years ago in the month of Ramadan, my Getz telah menggalami satu kemalangan yang sungguh menakutkan ( tapi bukan dengan kereta lain ). So today I thought I nak abadikan peristiwa tragis itu di laman blog ini semoga ianya menjadi simpanan abadi...

Below are the snapshots taken with my handphone ( sempat lagi tu, walau pun dalam keadaan begini. Alhamdulillah, I dilindungiNya semasa kejadian itu, berkat bulan Ramadan Al Mubarak )

Now, my Getz telah diwarisi oleh anaknya yang comel si i10 dan ia meneruskan khidmatnya kepada my AA ( another anak yang comel juga...hehehe )....

p/s sorry gambar AA yang cute tak dapat disertakan ;-))

June Birthday Celebration...

Last weekend telah diadakan satu sambutan hari jadi besar-besaran ( standard kita lah ) untuk family members yang dilahirkan dalam bulan jun bertempat di Hillpark, Pantai Dalam. Di bawah disertakan beberapa shots yang sempat diambil pada malam itu untuk dijadikan kenangan...

p/s To the other two birthday people, sorrylah the birthday Cake was out of this world!! Thank you to the hostess for providing almost everything...;-))

My Umrah Trip...

Sebelum bertolak ke Mekah untuk menunaikan umrah tahun ini berbagai perkara yang bermain di kepala. Maklumlah the last time I was in Mekah it was 2001, 10 years ago. Anyway pada 20 Feb hingga 3 Mac 2011, Pesara dan PA telah mengikuti rombongan Andalusia bersama 3 lagi kekawan ( plus 3 bus load of other jemaah ) untuk menunaikan ibadah umrah di tanah suci Mekah Al Mukarramah. Penerbangan kami berhenti di Jeddah dan kami seterusnya menaiki bas ke kota Madinah Al Munawarah yang mengambil masa 6 jam ( or longer, I was too tired to remember ). Ujian pertama kami was kat imigresen Jeddah di mana kita orang beratur for almost 2 hours untuk cop pasport tiba2 bila dah sampai giliran kita, pegawainya decided to take a break. We had to change lane cos we were not sure if he is ever coming back to work ( seriously! )

Then the long bus trip after rushing to pray jamak magrib and isyak at the airport. By the time we reached Madinah, it was nearly subuh. Then the second ujian, we were separated into different rooms but we had no time to settle things cos we wanted to rush for subuh prayer in Masjid Nabawi. Pesara managed to stay with PA and 2 other jemaah, while the other 3 friends each had to share a room with 3 other jemaah. The good thing was our rooms were next to each other so we could still go to the mosque together-gether. Below are some photos of us taken in Madinah Al Munawarah....

After spending 3 hectic days in Madinah, on the 4th day we started another long bus journey to Mekah Al Mukarramah. Though we stopped for lunch at a famous nasi arab with ikan ( look- like siakap) goreng and ayam panggang, I was too tired to enjoy the food..tapi makan jugalah sebab dah lapar sangat ( we had lunch at almost 3 petang ). We arrived in Mekah almost magrib and rushed to complete our tawaf, saie and tahlul for our 1st umrah. The rest of the stay in Mekah is about doing umrah, some zairah, going for all prayers in Masjidil Haram and occassional melontar ( mainly di Jamratul Abdullah and others..hehe ). Below are some photos taken in Mekah Al Mukarramah...

p/s I nak rekod kat sini ucapan terima kasih pada Kak Yah, Azma, Sherry dan PA for making this trip most memorable and blessed. My special TQ to my 1DO sis Azma for being strict with us with the timing to go for all prayers..kalau not for you, kita orang mungkin slack sikit..;-))

My Japanese Friends...

When age creeps upon you, you need all the help you can get from your friends. Well, I have a few Japanese friends who are ever willing to help me through this challenging time into the golden age . Below are the friends that I have personally acquired to help me through this era ...;-))

Ada yang dibeli dan ada yang diberi... ( You can now say my middle name is Ogawa ..hehe )

p/s There's alot of rolling, shiatsuing, vibrating, shaking and tapping going on nowadays at LV..hehehe ( hoping and praying that the fat and cellulite are also leaving..;-)) )
