Just realised that i hadnt done any posts for March.

about 12 days ago, i came back from a very fruitful and meaningful Umrah pilgrim in Saudi Arabia. and how i wish to go there again with my family very soon. i'm missing it already. i miss how the people are so calm and worry-free. i miss how everytime i stepped into the mosque, i feel this sense of security and calmness with this secret joy inside me reassuring me Allah's watching over me. i miss seeing dealers selling their goods in the streets with all their might. i miss praying in the Masjids. i miss being near Prophet Muhammad S.A.W.'s grave. i miss making rounds around the Ka'abah. i miss going up and down Safa and Marwah. i miss seeing how fellow Muslims rejoiced when rain fell which seldom happens at the haram land as it is a desert country. i miss everything about Medina and Mecca. and also after which i made a life changing decision.

before going over to Saudi, we stopped at Istanbul, Turkey first for a very short vacation. only to realise that it was too short to relive every moment of it. but oh well, its our first time there but it definitely is not the last. we were just in time to experience snow as it was the city's last day of winter with the temperature of -3 degrees celcius. good experience yes it was. Turkey's rich with history and really wonderful landmarks.

one thing left to do regarding the trip, a very important assignment. filter and upload pictures onto facebook, send them for printing and buy an album.

A day in the life of the holy land of Mecca.
Masjidil Haram.


alrightey, this post ends here. (:
