Excursion To Egypt : A Day Before Aidil Adha

.

A day before Aidil Adha we went to Jamibrahim ( I am not sure the speeling is right or not) to walk and strol around the market and enjoy the morning spree of the locals. It must be a very busy day since the locals were preparing for the last minute shopping. It was not as what I thought! It was not what we experinced in Malaysia. The morning was cool and calm and not many locals. Perhaps they were still enjoying their wonderful sleep and waiting for their wives to call for shopping. Let see what we were experiencing on that morning.


You can see many fruit stalls selling all types of fruit. Citrus, grapes, mangoes and other fruits that famous for its Mediteranien climate. I like grapes and pormeganade very much! Oh...I already told you how I purchase mangoes that the saiz of my head...

 These boys were so happy when i took their picture with a bull that ready to be sacrificed for tomorrow. They were very coorperative and this time they failed to ask money from me.


That old man was sitting there quietly while looking at his son selling vegetables. He must be a taukey and ready to hand over his business to his chidren.


Our stomach were already kroncong and we were ready to have local chai. The breakfast was very plain in nature and there were no other alternative menu or food for you to request. The only food that we have was a local crispy bread soak into the chai. My son called it roti lantai (floor bread) just because after baked, they simply laid down all of them on the floor. Not only that' I have seen they put it on the fence wall as well. Never mind, makan ajelah kan. Because the stomach already craving.


I asked my son to buy the bread across the street for one geneh. Not that expensive though..


Ok...for few snaps and here we were... Life looked very simple and relax


Have you ever tasted pegions? As for me they were just like other birds. If you would like to prepare Pegion Tomyam , you always can get baby pegions in this market. That would remind me and other friends that we caught pegions at the mosque attic when we were student in Woolwich, London. I was the one who made that Pegion Tomyam.


If you want a free horse ride, also available. Oooo...no you still need to pay. Everything was not free.

The next day we prepared laksa and rendang for our breakfast and lunch for Aidil adha.

Regent Park Mosque London Setiap hari Khamis malam Jumaat aku akan ke London untuk ke Algate East Mosque, Christian Street, London. Masjid ini dahulunya adalah synagogue. Apabila komunity Islam sudah bertambah di kawasan ini, terutamanya warga Bangla, maka ramai orang orang Yahudi yang berpindah ke North London. Selalunya aku akan terus dari kelas ke sana yang memakan masa selama 30 minit by train. Kadang kadang ada member teringin nak ikut tapi selalunya aku seorang lone ranger aje. Di samping dengar bayan sekali sekala seronok juga boleh jumpa dan borak dengan member2 yang lain. Di sinilah aku selalu jumpa Abang Qasim aku tuh. Kalau aku dah penat dan rasa dah lewat untuk pulang ke rumah, aku iktikaf aje di masjid. Kalau aku iktikaf Abang Qasim lah yang selalu sediakan bistra untuk aku. Sayang dia kat aku...hehehehe. Esok paginya kadang aku terpaksa ponteng kelas sebab lewat. Lagi pun subjek tu bukanya ada exam pun. Jadi week end sahaja aku selalu lepak di rumah member member aku yan

Bobo Telah Pergi Buat Selamanya Huhhuhuhu....... untuk pengetahuan sahabat semua, Bobo telah kembali mengadap Tuhan yang Maha Esa dua hari lepas setelah bertarung dengan kesakitan yang di alaminya seperti yang aku ceritakan sebelum ini. I got a call from somebody dan beritahu Bobo dah meninggal. Aku cuma dapat mereka tolong uruskan mayat Bobo itu. Kalau tak silap aku dia meninggal pada usia lebih kurang 20 bulan. . Sebenarnya kehidupan Bobo, aku, dan semua makluk Allah taala sama saja. Iaitu suatu masa kita akan tinggalkan dunia yang fana ini dan menghadap Allah taala dan semua amalan perbuatan samada baik atau buruk akan di persembahan untuk mendapat balasan yang setimpal. Hanya ihsan dan rahmat Allah sahaja yang kita yang kita perlu untuk memasukkan kita ke dalam jannah. . Bobo lebih beruntung dari kita sebab tiada hari hisab untuk di risaukan. Binatang seperti Bobo akan mati apabila sejumlah zikir ang di berikan telah selesai. Bukan seperti manusia akan mati apabila habis rezeki dia

Pokok Bunga Kertas Sekarang orang tanam pokok bunga kertas dalam pasu gantung. Bila daun dia merendang dan berbunga memang nampak cantik seperti pokok pertunia. Rasanya pokok bunga kertas ni lebih senang nak jaga lagi pun dia berbunga sepanjang tahun. Ada juga di tanam di dalam pasu yang lebih besar. Tetapi harga tiga kali ganda. Aku beli Empat pasu untuk di letak di depan rumah aku. Satu warna bright pink, peach, white and light pink. Nampak gaya ia akan menjadi koleksi terbaru aku. Dulu aku pernah tanam berbagai bagai pokok ni dan dah besar dan cantik untuk di bongsaikan. Tapi kawasan rumah sekangkang kera aku terpaksa eksport ke rumah mertua aku. Sekarang entah kemana pokok pokok itu. Actually idea untuk letak bunga kertas berjurai tu dah lama aku buat seperti di dalam gambar tu. Aku rasa dah 6 tahun aku tanam kat atas tu tapi masih juga kemetot. Aku tahu puncanya. 1. Tinggi sangat - jadi malas nak kerabat pakai tangga untuk membaja dan merumput. 2. Kurangnya baja untuk di suburkan
