Honey, I love you to the moon and back.

(Late entry)


I don't know why I bought an early ticket for our first time travelling out of Malaysia. 0655. What a genius plan. We stayed overnight at Barry Inn Hotel. Left the hotel at 0500. Took about half an hour to reach the LCCT. Parked our car there. (Bear RM152.00 for parking cost urghh - approximately for 4 days)

The best damn thing when you plan your travel on weekdays, there will be so many empty seats. You can sleep, lay in or sit anywhere you like. Much more relaxed. People don't talk too much. SERENITY. Like flying with your private jet. Oh I love it!

Now ready to fly. With empty stomachs.

Oh the sun has risen. Perfect time for breakfast. Hey, not so many passengers right. There will be enough meal for us. We can eat anything we like. Name it dear, name it. (Please do an online booking for meal - cheaper RM13.00 only!)

Oh how I miss nasi lemak.... He did request for this bukhara. Who eat nasi briyani early in the morning. See how ravenous he was?? 

Now, we went sleepy. How far this plane will go? Please arrive quickly. We terribly want to hit the bed.

With only one hour and half, we arrived the island. What a short journey. 

YAYYYYY Me so delighted!

Have I told you that I forgot about the GMT? We should be in the hotel at that time. 

Musafir.

I love watching 30 minutes with Ustaz Don. He's very inspiring. And he's young too. (Same age!) You can watch his programs via YouTube. After watching his show, there was a short slot about musafir (traveler). According to sunnah. Okay this is good.


Extracted from the slot in Malay.


Sabda Rasulullah SAW,


"Bermusafirlah agar kamu sihat dan beruntung."


Ada juga riwayat lain,


"Bermusafirlah agar kamu sihat dan sejahtera."


Adab dan sunnah ketika bermusafir :


1. Tujuan perjalanan adalah baik dan betul. Sebelum keluar rumah, kamu perlu menunaikan solat sunat dua rakaat di rumahmu.


"Perkara yang terbaik yang ditinggalkan oleh seorang lelaki kepada ahli keluarganya apabila dia bermusafir adalah dengan menunaikan solat sunnat dua rakaat."

2. Nabi Muhammad SAW suka bermusafir pada hari Khamis. Baginda tidak suka bermusafir pada hari Jumaat kerana ianya menyebabkan gagal menunaikan solat Jumaat.


3. Begitu juga dengan waktu.


Sabda Rasulullah SAW,


"Bermusafirlah di malam hari kerana ia memendekkan perjalanan. Jarak menjadi singkat di malam hari."

4. Seseorang perlu membawa beg kecil berisi keperluan asas untuk dirinya. Nabi Muhammad SAW suka membawa siwak, sikat, cermin, celak dan kayu wangi.

5. Kemudian, perlulah mengucapkan selamat tinggal kepada ahli keluarganya dengan berdoa memohon penjagaan daripada Allah SWT.


Nabi Muhammad SAW membaca,


"Aku pohon agar kau dijagai oleh Allah SWT yang tak akan hilang jagaan daripada-Nya."


6. Sunnah juga meminta untuk didoakan. Nabi Muhammad SAW juga meminta sahabatnya Umar Al-Khattab mendoakannya ketika Baginda berangkat untuk bermusafir.


Sabda Baginda,


"Saudaraku, janganlah kau lupa mendoakan untuk kami."


Apabila keluar rumah, sunnah bagi kita untuk membaca Bismillah.


"Dengan nama Allah SWT, aku beriman dan bertawakal kepada Allah SWT dan tiada yang berkuasa melainkan Allah SWT."


6. Apabila menaiki kapal terbang untuk bermusafir, berdoalah dengan doa musafir.


7. Pilih teman perjalanan yang pekerti. Sunnah bagi bermusafir secara berkumpulan agar seorang daripada mereka menjadi ketua. Jika kumpulan tersebut melebihi tiga orang, perlulah diwujudkan satu mesyuarat untuk memilih seorang ketua sebagai pemimpin dan penyusun program perjalanan mereka.


8. Sunnah bagi kita bertakbir ketika naik ke tempat yang tinggi, dan bertasbih ketika turun ke paras yang rendah.

Contohnya, ketika kapa terbang sedang berlepas naik, maka kita bertakbir, Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!
Dan ketika kapal sedang mendarat turun, maka kita bertasbih, Subhanallah! Subhanallah!

Begitu juga semasa mendaki bukit, jejantas, atau lain-lain kawasan tinggi.


9. Al-Huda' (Nyanyian Musafir). Diketahui antara sunnah Nabi Muhammad SAW adalah mendengar nyanyian. Sebagai bukti, Baginda suka mendengar nyanyian ketika dalam perjalanan. Baginda inginkan kita dalam suasana yang baik, merehat dan menenangkan dirinya daripada suasana yang tegang.

10. Baginda mengajar apabila memasuki sesuatu kawasan, kita disunatkan berdoa kepada Allah SWT agar dipermudahkan perjalanan. Jika seseorang mengamalkan sunnah ini, Allah akan melindungi setiap kali dia melalui sesuatu kawasan.


11. Baginda bepesan juga agar kita membawa balik hadiah. Pastikan ada hadiah ketika balik dari bermusafir. Biarpun hadiah tersebut hanyalah kecil, tapi amat bernilai kepada ahli keluarga, sanak saudara, rakan-rakan. Hadiah dapat mengeratkan hati manusia.

Jika kita mengamalkan, kita dapat merasai perjalanan kita adalah perjalanan yang luar biasa. Dipenuhi dengan pelbagai manfaat dan faedah dan keagamaan dan mencontohi Nabi Muhammad SAW.

From card to coin.

I went to KL last week. I loooove KL so much. Husband loves it too. 


We decided to take LRT instead of driving in a super hectic town. Parked at Masjid Jamek and took LRT Putra to Hang Tuah station. From there, we took Monorail to Imbi. Having breakfast at Krispy Kreme, Times Square.


New ticket for LRT Putra? And self-service machine only?

We were kind of freaking out for this. Haha. Go here. No. There. No. Here here. Ask the staff. No. I know. Just follow me. Haha! What a tourist...


What do you think about this? Cool enough? 


*Note:
Bayaran tambang tepat adalah digalakkan

Stamina.

I just started my so-called gym routine. 

Yesterday : 9 minutes of cycling. 3.1 km. 

Today my whole body is cramping. Aches all over. Why this happens? I did my exercises yesterday. I should feel healthier and energetic. 

Then, I turned to my bestfriend who got her exercises like everyday (every minute I guess), in a very discipline manner. VERY.

"Kau kena buat warm-up dulu sebelum cycling lah.."

"Oh, aku tak buat pun. Aku terus kayuh, dan kayuh, dan teruskan mengayuh haha!"

There you go. And I just google-d this ;

"Lets muscles know what's coming. Warming up may actually make you less sore the next day." (Source)

Actually I know the rules because I was an athlete when I was in primary/secondary school..

And now I just finished my cycling - another 9mins.

With a warm-up session before hehe.

Update : another 4mins. Gaahhhhh penat!

Feb 6th.

7 days left. (But still unhappy.........)


Friends : PROCEED.


Flight ticket. Done.
Visa. Done.
Agent. Done.
Shopping. Done.


Melancholic.


I put too much hope for this. I am not lying.

Temporary lost.

Time : Today. Morning. Not so early. But I woke up early! (Just a little brag)

Activity : Jogging Breakfast at TC.

Menu : 2 am risers. And am cheezy egg bun. And am twister. (Yes, we have a voracious appetite) And please don't share your am riser with anybody. Too scrumptious to share.

Actor : Me and husband. (Who else???)

The scenario :

1. Not so many people. Still sleeping I guess.

2. Talking about the world, politics, economy and society.... No, we didn't. Just some casual things.

3. Both busy with their smartphone. Okay husband, why don't you play with your phone and let me eat your am riser? I should order 2 of it.........

4. Done with entree. Now, he's looking at the tempting cheezy bun. But me not finished with my am riser yet. Not that I eat slowly but I enjoy our precious moment. Yes, me and am riser. Only the two of us.

5. Realize that he want to eat it first, I quickly gobble my riser up haha.

6. "You can eat it honey, you don't have to wait for me..." (Actually, you have to wait for me. We have to eat that together!)

7. Feel overstuffed. Have to take twister home. Have to. (I feel like eating it now.....but twister sleeps in the fridge..downstairs..why don't we have our fridge inside our bedroom dear?)

8. Finish our drinks before heading home.

9. Not so soon. We take our time with our own smart gadgets. Ah, they are bestfriend right?

10. Before leaving, "Yang, please put my phone in your porch bag okay? My hands are full.." He seems busy reading e-mail. Nevermind. He heard it. He will put it. He will.

"Yang, please give me my phone back. I want to snap a picture."

"Eh? I don't have your phone? With me right now?..." 

"What are you talking about? I said just now.."

"Erkkkk..?"

Trouble. 

WHATTTTTTTT THEE FISHHH????

I LEFT MY PHONE (my baby kuci kuciii) IN THE RESTAURANT??!!

*faint*

.....to be continued.

**i love this font by the way. clearer kan?

Next voyage?

(Episod nak cuti plishhh ??????)

The location.

The mood.

The most tedious part.

Get ready. 

I am ready. Was born ready. For this. Hehe.

Of her beauty, grace and compassion..

should guilty seek asylum here
like one pardoned, he becomes free from sin
should a sinner make his way to this mansion
all his past sins are to be washed away
the sight of this mansion creates sorrowing sighs
and the sun and the moon shed tears from their eyes
in this world this edifice has been made
to display thereby the creator's glory.. 

I am Rapunzel...

..... with a short hair unfortunately. 

Comelnya! Saya pun kan... hehe!

Of the breaking and entering.

Have you heard about the latest traumatic incident that hit our famous kakak, Wardina Safiyyah?

Watch her video.

This is awfully daunting. TO BOTH OF US. We left the house for about 5 days and husband forgot to turn the outdoor lights on. Okay, shouldn't put the blame on him alone, it's my responsibility too. Alhamdulillah (so sooo lega) fortunately no uninvited bad news were received, nothing bad happened. Alhamdulillah.. syukran The Almighty.

The scariness level goes up to the MAXIMUM when one the colleagues who live in the same neighborhood told there was once a burglary case here. Plus, at the back of my house is a construction work, still. I cannot sleep well at night. Especially whenever I heard of a tiny clicking sound. Or even a cat's meow. My sleeping pattern is ruined!

Practice these ALWAYS.

1. Do'a. I recite Ayatul Kursi and Surah An-Nas to keep me calm and safe. InsyaAllah.
2. Get yourself known to the nearest police station and save the number. Put in on speed dial.
3. Keep doors (front and back) locked and secure. Windows as well. Use a proper locksmith.
4. Install an alarm system. (Depends on your budget)
5. Lock your car too. Never leave extra house/car keys in your car.
6. Lock your bedroom's door whenever you want to hit the bed.
7. Do not save too much on the electricity bills. Pay extra to keep your house brighter. Front and back.
8. Place something heavy at your back's door. Something like master cupboard or cooking gas.
9. Curtains. Curtains. Curtains.
10. Save your cash at the bank. Putting it under your pillow will not guarantee the money will 'beranak' (grow).
11. Immediately call the police if you see any suspicious nefarious human hovering around your neighborhood. Be responsible.


Let's pray for our safety. Don't be a hero. Your life is precious.
