Umrah 2005
Alhamdulillah, Allah granted our wishes to go for our Umrah.
On 4 October 2005, during a wonderful lunch at Thaya's house with Adelaine and Jenny, Zairul called to say that our filght to Jeddah was confirmed. I was ecstatic. Alina was in tears, Zairul could't play golf and Shamsul had no mood to work anymore that day. It was definitely a day to celebrate and this trip will be a trip to remember.
It was..
5 October 2005 - Buka with Family
6 October 2005 - KL - Jeddah - Madinah
7 - 8 October 2005 - Madinah
9 October 2005 - Madinah - Makkah
10 - 15 October 2005 - Makkah
16 October 2005 - Makkah - KL
17 October 2005 - KL
For the whole week after that, both Zairul and I were sick. We were down with the flu and fever. We were severely jetlagged and fatigued. I got over it quickly as I couldnt fast but Zairul carried on to the next week.
I hope many more Muslims get to go for this really rewarding trip. I must say that I was trully blessed to get to experience Umrah with Zairul.
InsyaAllah Allah will grant us our wishes. As for me, I think Alhamdulillah He has already granted one of my biggest wish... to see the Kaabah with my own eyes.
Alhamdulillah

Ramadhan
Ramadhan is here. Tomorrow Muslims all over the world will be fasting and praying a little bit extra for the next month.
As for Alina, Shamsul, Zairul and I it is the mark of the start of our Umrah Trip.
Although everything seems ok.. as in all the preparations and flights coming back are confirmed, the crucial flight to Jeddah is still not confirmed. And with just 1 day left, even Alina who has been there many times is feeling sad.
I felt it a long time ago but I leave it now in the hands of Allah who knows best on whether we will be taking the trip or should we?
I would really like to go but ... it's not in our control..
Ya Allah, please let us be able to make this trip to your Holy Land..
