Umrah

Wow I dont really know how to describe it..

The feeling is totally incredible. I will be visiting Allah's sacred place and I will be within a walking distance to the direction of which I face to pray..

The preparation for this trip was testing. Somehow, we managed it. After destination and date changes, to flight cancecllations to changing travel agents, InsyaAllah Shamsul, Alina, Zairul and I will be headed for our Umrah on 6 October to 17 OCtober 2005.

Alhamdulillah.

On another note:
Saba is pregnant with her 5th child. Wow thats another great feeling. Its weird though that when she mentioned it I didnt feel as upset as I normally would. May be Allah is helping me..

Alhamdulillah.

My patience is running thin..
My heart, at times, feels like it's being stabbed..

1. A friend's wife is pregnant and some "man" is not exactly being sensitive to my feelings about it.. It was first told to me as as-a-matter-of-fact kind of thing and the next day I was told of how old the pregnancy is.. I am still hurting.. I know it but some people dont seem to empathise with me..

2. A shocker with my Umrah trip.. my flights are not confirmed.. I'm sad but all I can do now is wait and pray it's all settled soon..

3. A dear friend had a scare with some spotting and was relieved to find out that it was due to stress.. but was really sad to find out that she was not pregnant.. I know the feeling dear..

4. I had to "tell" on a colleagues slacking work and this may affect her confirmation next month.. I feel really terrible..

5. I miss my boys..

6. I miss Zairul..

:-(

The month that was..

I have been really busy for the past month..
