My first car

Yeay Alhamdulillah,

Eventually after so many years, after so long of waiting, after so much of patience, my dreams of owning a car has been fulfilled. I remember the year I turned 18, my main focus was getting my car license. I signed up for my driving test the very first day I could and I passed.

There were so many times in 2012 when I was at A-Level, Ive tried to ask my parents to buy a used car for me so that I can be more self-sufficient. But my parents dont like it and dont believe in used cars huhu sad sad. So, I occasionally just drove my mama's car to go anywhere like pasar malam ke just nearby my house area bcs its a manual car hehe.

7 years later (now), I finally got one. The car is a brand New Perodua Myvi in advance variant. Im so in love with the colour so much. It is a greynite grey in colour. Aahhh I still cant believe that Im owning a car. Eventho it is just a Perodua brand, but I still can be proud of. Thus, the most important thing is I should be thankful to my parents. I could've not get it if its not because of them. But presumably I could've own a Honda Jazz if......... :p, but nope Im so grateful for this. Its good to own tho.

Thank you Allah for a good start of my 2019. More good things to come, In Shaa Allah.

P/s: Writing this entry not tryin to show off but just wanting to share one of the moments that I can be grateful throughout my journey.

Umrah Journey 2019

Alhamdulillah I have just got back from umrah on 19/01/2019. This is actually my second umrah where I was previously invited to be His guest in 2014. If you guys wanna know my first umrah journey experience you can just click this.

My feelings were exactly the same when I first came to the Holy Land 5 years ago. I was in awe at the sight at the kaabah. What a sight to see! Ya Allah this is what Ive been waiting for. The last time I was infront of the kaabah on my last day in Makkah, I still remembered one of my prayers was "Ya Allah jemput aku lagi, aku akan datang sini lagi". And here I am right infront of the Holy kaabah. Eventho it was my second time, I was still so nervous and filled with excitement or rather afraid and immensely happy. With all these mix emotions I had at that time, I was drowned in a lot of thoughts.

What can I say for my umrah this time is totally different. I got so many opportunities to approached and touched the Holy kaabah. I was able to get into Hijr Ismail for more than 5 times. Allah make it easier and smooth for me to makes my long duas infront of the Holy kaabah, multazam and in Hijr Ismail. It is so miracle when there was an Indonesian man who told me to pray and he protected me from being pushed and hit by the crowd. It was actually so difficult to even make a 2 rakaat prayer in Hijr Ismail with so many crowd but then I managed to do it. The most saddest part of me when Ive completed my tawaf wida'. My tears start rolling bcs I really dont want to leave this place. But I just had to and in hope I would be back here again.

Leaving Makkah with a heavy heart but I was looking forward to visiting the city of Rasulullah.

Madinah Al-Munawwarah also the place that Ive been longing for so long. Here is the only place where I can be close to Prophet Muhammad SAW. It was so sad to heard the story of our Prophet about how great his sacrifice is. I was able to get into Raudhah twice where I didnt get many opportunities to Raudhah during my first umrah. Allah has given me a long time to be in Raudhah this time and Im so grateful. Alhamdulillah.

There was so many miracle things happened in Makkah and Madinah but I just cant simply list everything down. I was so lucky enough to go with my family and I cant explain how special the 2 weeks were. Well I dont think there are words to explain it. I feel like staying there forever bcs this is the only place where I feel really calm and I can totally forgot about dunya. In other words, my life is just focus to the one and only Allah.

Oh ya, I was immensely happy to met my friend, Abdul Muthalib. He's a technician in Schindler. Bumped into him since we were at KLIA to Jeddah, Makkah and Madinah. We left on the same day on 07/01/19, have boarded the same flight, same hotel at Plaza Makarim Madinah and returned to Malaysia at the same time. It was a pleasure to see him and we had a talk together while waiting for the flight at the Madinah Airport. Just wow.

Subhanallah Alhamdulillah thank you Allah for blessing me with all the good things.

*I will never stop missing the blessed lands where I wish to return again and again with my loved one's. Aamin

Here for you!

Should be on this date, I will be flying off to Saudi Arabia to perform umrah. I only have a few hours left to fly but I still wanna make this entry special for someone.

Happy Birthday Umar! Another year has gone by. I know its been a while since we met. There are so many things that I wish I could give you this year and you would deserve all of them.

You know what, you are just so amazing! You are such a down to earth soul with the biggest heart and one of the funniest people I know. But you are so annoying. You always forget almost about everything in this world. Although you are younger than me, but I can see that your maturity is much better than mine. Your maturity is the same as your height lol.

Wtv it is mar, I wish all of the best for you, for us, in this upcoming year!

Doa selamat 2019

Alhamdulillah,

Baru sahaja selesai majlis doa selamat di rumah saya sebentar tadi. I feel so good and happy for the blessed start of 2019. One of the big reasons majlis doa selamat ni diadakan is because my family and I will go to the Holy Land to perform umrah.

To be exact, ini adalah second time majlis doa selamat was held at my house after 10 years. It was a freaking long long time kan. So I almost forgot how the atmosphere was when making a majlis or makan-makan at home. Previously, if kami nak buat doa selamat kami akan buat dekat masjid yang dekat dengan rumah je. Tapi tahun ni we decided to buat dekat rumah dengan harapan agar ia lebih barakah and thus the most important is dapat rapatkan hubungan silturrahim antara jiran tetangga since my mama ada group tadabbur dia. Orang kata duduk rumah tinggi-tinggi like apartment condo etc memang tak bertegur dengan jiran kan? Well its true I might say. Frankly speaking, I pun tak kenal sangat jiran sebelah rumah I hatta bertegur pun tak sebab buat hal sendiri je but tak semua la. But this is not what Im tryna tell ya.

Back to majlis doa selamat. Okay since my mom ada group tadabbur dia, my mom ajak semua kawan-kawan dia datang rumah untuk baca yassin and doa selamat sebelum kami berangkat ke Tanah suci. Kami hanya tempat catering saja and my mom ada buat backup mihun and I goreng tempura semua. It was fun to see all the kids makan and macam-macam la. Seronok sangat la melayan tetamu sebab selalu I yang jadi tetamu je hehe. Tak jemput reramai pun rumah kecik je yalls.

So okay la tu je kot I rasa untuk setakat ni. Berharap 2019 adalah tahun yang paling baik dan semoga Allah lindungi keluargaku adalah keluargamu juga eh tak. Semoga Allah jaga setiap orang yang kita sayang.

Amin Ya Rabbal alamin.
