The State of Religiousness

In about a week, I'll be heading to the Holy Land for a short pilgrimage. This is something expected of every able Muslim, and though it isn't exactly full-blown Hajj, the thought of performing this religious deed still sets me very much on edge.

Is it normal to be terrified of God's call?

In my current life, I will admit Umrah isn't exactly high on my to-do list. I mean, there are mundane, everyday religious tasks I have yet to perfect! Surely those should be given top priority? Umrah requires dedicating all focus and intentions towards submitting to Allah SWT. Point is, how do I do that in Mecca when I can hardly achieve it five times a day, at home.. (-___-)v

We all have faith skeletons hiding in our closets. And as far as closets are concerned, mine is the walk-in kind..

Going Home: Preview

I'm going home.

To the place where I belong,

And where your love has always been enough for me.

I'm not running from,

No, I think you got me all wrong.

I don't regret this life I chose for me.

But these faces and these places are getting old..

So, I'm going home.

Putrajaya & Bagan Lalang Pics

To those who have been waiting for pics, I'm sorry for not posting sooner. Needed to tweak them a bit.. Enjoy! ^^

PUTRAJAYA

Nak naik Putrajaya Lake Cruise..

Time ni gak la bangla-bangla dari mana tah sibuk nak naik cruise sekali. Dah la ambik semua kerusi tepi tingkap, hampeh!

On the front deck of the boat..

Ati gelakkan Lim Kok Wing jatuh lam air main waterski..

Ann dengan cermin mata hitam 'otomatik' dia. Cermin mata sitot old-fashion punya..

Kak Long ni tetiba je hilang. Alih-alih tengok dia sibuk mengurat Kapten Ramli..

Kekura yang sangat comel kat kedai cenderamata. Nak beli, tapi kakak kat counter tu kasi evil eye sebab amik gambar, langsung tak jadi..

History repeats itself.. 6 years later! Wey, mana eskrim korang?

Lunch kat Abdullah Chan. Tak selera nak makan, so tangkap gambar pun jadi la.. Ni nama dia buttered prawns..

Um, something ikan masin? Bukan kailan though..

Ayam masak..... ??

Sup tauhu dan bebola ikan! Ingat nama sebab ni je yang boleh makan! ^^

Daging... masak merah? I'm sorry people, I just can't remember. Sedap tapi!

BAGAN LALANG

Bagan Lalang banyak tul ketam. Satu pantai tu penuh dengan tahi bulat-bulat dia.. comel kan? ^^

Sukun goreng.. Yum! tapi last time aku cuba benda ni muntah tak habis.. so tak berani nak usik lagi dah.

Cik Mun makan sukun sambil anyam ketupat..

Dan anyam lagi...

Dan lagi...

The entire time dekat pantai ni, macam takut-takut terkena tsunami. So duduk jauh-jauh sikit dari gigi air..

Tiga dara: hyper... keletihan... mengantuk...

Hah, tahi bulat-bulat ketam.. Lagi besar bulatan, lagi besar la ketamnya. Nature really is a work of art!

Tengok apa tu?

Senja kat Bagan Lalang, taken just before leaving.. The floating chalets are part of the rather famous Golden Palm Tree Resort.

THE END! ^^
