my favourite chapter was , i got a beautiful sejadah from an Arab woman! her sejadah look beautiful in my eye & i stare before asking, your prayer mat is beautiful, where did you buy it? to my surprise, she hand it to me, saying : consider it as her 'sedekah'! together with cheese bread!
sadly, i dont know her name because she wore niqab & both of us were in rush since the time to perform solat was near.. whoever she was, i pray may Allah shower her with rezeki yang tak putus-putus' & yes, i recite the dua right in front of Kaabah! i was too ecstatic - like i said before, i opt for design... i dont care if it's cheap or not - if it was beautiful in my eye, i would give it a go!

2) i was exhausted after an umrah, i waited for my roomate at the saie area for what feel like hours but she never came (of course dalam lautan manusia yg penuh, mane nak nampak klu bersandar dekat cermin dkt exit gate dekat tempat saie)... maybe because i look very tired, another kind Arab woman gave me nuts & that was my first time merasa kurma & kacang di Mekah! & the taste? of course delicious!
3) on my first day of tawaf, because i eat food that i dont know isnt compatible with me, i need to ambik air sembahyang twice during my first tawaf... first time, of course i'm not familiar with Masjidil Haram... but i think, rather than continue tawaf tapi tak sah, it's better to separate & doing it sampai betul-betul yakin. so, i wander around, ask Malaysian people until one of them show the zam zam water & lend me her spray bottle (ablution).. later, i continue tawaf & never meet any of my group member...
did i scared?
hell no! i got a free prepaid at the airport & i was at Masjidil Haram, my intention is purely untuk beribadat - so, i feel safe... how about saie? i follow somebody that look like 'mutawif perempuan' , from Penang - told her i cant found my group & it was my first time saie - she teach me & coincidentally, she also teach two other women. so, although most people think i'm missing, it was a perfect first umrah for me actually.

*Err, i forgot where i leave my slippers (tak terlintas ape-ape pun cuma tak perhati betul-betul kat mane tinggal selipar), so, i did extra saie to hunt for my missing slipers... tapi gagal... i cant simply balik berkaki ayam - mau pecah kaki sebab panas sangat so i went to the entrance, kebetulan cleaner tgh sapu selipar, so i tengok mane yang agak2 same macam selipar masjid untuk pinjam pakai balik hotel tapi that cleaner gave me a black sandal... balik hotel, petangnya, i bawak pegi masjid untuk hantar balik & tengok balik selipar sendiri... still there & tak hilang pun..
why did i search it again? that was new slipper that i bought one day before my journey to Mecca! of course lepas tawaf banyak2 shopping complex, jumpa saiz yg ok, sayang banget same selipar flat baru tu...
4) entering Hijr Ismail - as many of us know, Hijr Ismail slalu crowded... nak masuk kna berebut-rebut... nak solat pun agak susah... so, dgn body kecik, menyelit masuk pegi hujung sebelah satu lagi... at one time, spot penuh.. pastu tiba-tiba pakcik Turki yang hensem (elderly) yg dah siap solat bagi isyarat tanda suruh ambik spot dia sebab dia nak keluar... i prayed solat sunat tawaf (tawaf sunat) & solat sunat... & lepas siap, bukak buku yang gantung dekat leher tu, baca doa... pastu tengok a Malaysian girl duduk kat tepi tempat yang teduh sambil berdoa, i ikut jejak dia... agak lama dalam tu sampai boleh ambik gambar lampu terdekat & tengok suasana dalam Hijr Ismail tu...
