The camel smiled at me

Short story about my umrah okay :D

We arrived in Madinah and the weather was so cold. It was 19 degree celcius. I was expecting the smoke thingy come outta my mouth but i didnt. haha. At Masjid Nabawi, the security is so tight. Of course the males and females were separated. All of them were in black except my family were in white. The Arabians were looking at us one kind. lol. So as I was saying, the security was tight. I'm a sensitive person. The females securities were guarding the gates. They will check everything on you. EVERYTHING.

First they checked the bags, and they said no phones. But they didnt realize my phone was in the bag. So i was lucky but my mom wasnt. lol. And then after checking the bags, as I was zipping my bag, the security suddenly touching me up and down. And she even touched my upper part. I was like what the hell are you doing ?! But i didnt say like that to her. I was oh security job. But I was suffering from the touching. and the security even touched my butt. I was suffering like hell and i was like please be quick, please be quick. Listen people, if you wanna touch my private part let me smack you first! Just check by the side of the body is enough la like the airport securities! I hope the securities were checking for safety not for fun.

So if you wanna go for Umrah, remember, the securities are very tight during Subuh. Other time, they just check the bags.

We arrived in Mekah about 3 days later. The weather was so cold during subuh and at night. I kissed Hajar Aswad twice. But I just touched it a little bit because I was in my ihram. Ihram cannot bring any nice scent as the Hajar Aswad's scent is very nice. I did tawaf sunat plus with tawaf umrah about 47 times equals to 329 rounds. I just pushed the people there. I was like "Shuai! Shuai!". It means give me a little bit of space. lol

We went for umrah ziarah for a few days at padang arafah, and other place as I have forgotten. We went to Jabal Rahmah to doa. There were camels everywhere for riding to Jabal Rahmah tower. Coz' there were lots of staircase. But me and my mom wanna save money so we just walked and I have to pull her with all my streght till we get to the top. But the funny thing is, I noticed one of the camels smiled at me. The camel's eyelashes were very pretty. I was like, "oh my god hi unta!" Then we went back to masjidil haram to do our another tawaf umrah.

Another thing, I met boys over flowers arab version! Oh my god those 4 young man were walking in front me and my mom. Two of them were chatting with each other. Another one was on the phone and another one was walking with style with his sunglasses. One of them has beard but looked so handsome. They four were walking to the shopping center. They look so good under their surbans! So stunning and charming and handsome. My godddd

My quran reading is getting better coz' everytime you'll have to wait for azan and qamat, the Arabians will grab a quran and read it. So did I. And my readings are getting better and better. This aunty who was sitting beside me she asked, "do you know how to read arabic?". Then I was like" yes I do". Then I was like talking to myself, " what a stupid question". Luckily she didnt hear me. And another aunty was asking my mom, "do you know how to pray?", my mom ," OF COURSE!".The lady asked again, "do you know how to do tawaf?". I was like, what a ridiculous question from these people! As an Islam, of course you need to know how to read Quran, how to do tawaf, and how to pray! Silly questions you people ask!

I recorded the azan from masjidil haram. So far the nicest azan I've heard was during Solat Subuh. It's a wow. Really beautiful azan.

Oh yes I almost forgot. Have any of you did sujud sejadah? Coz I never. Here's the story. I was doing the prayers alone coz my mom cant pray and my grandmother cant walk. So theres this one time during Subuh prayers, as you know doa for Subuh is soooooooo long. It's good for your body in the morning coz you'll have to stand and stretch ur legs upwards for about 3-4 minutes. I like the way it is. As I was saying, during the first rakaat, the solat was going so well and I dont even know which surah the imam was reading. So when the imam said Allahuakhbar, I bent my body for rukuk. But the Arabians were doing the sujud but the Malaysians were doing the rukuk. So i was like, oh maybe diorang punya mashab. But then I noticed something is wrong here. Am I wrong? Or memang diorang ikut mashab diorang? Then the Malaysians quickly sujud. So I followed and when imam said Allahuakhbar, I came up and sit. But the Arabians were standing. So I quickly stood up. Then I went back to hotel, my grandpa was talking to my mom," tadi ada sujud sejadah, alia apa khabar?" lol. So my grandpa talked to me and taught me about the sujud sejadah. Now i know. That was my first time. lol

I brought home some souvenirs. My mom bought for herself and my dad the perfume of kaabah. Until now I still remember the scent. If you wanna take a look at my umrah pictures. Go here!

Thats all folks. If you're doing ur umrah soon, be free to ask me anything. Maybe i can give you some tips. :D

Salam.
