Today I managed to perform my fajar prayer at Masjid Haram. This was the first time since I arrived on the 25th September. The time for fajar began at 4.55 am. So to walk to the mosque about 20 minutes. Struggling to get a lift for another 5 minutes. Preparing for own self and wuduk about 20 minutes, therefore you are required to wake up as early as 3.00am. To wake for fajar prayer is very mujahadah. You know lah how difficult to open the eyes and remove the blanket. But all these need to fight the desires that associate with setan.

The food food court is located on the second floor and they served all kins of food from western to asian. Do you think we missed nasi lemak? Not really. Food normally was not my priority and I would prefer local food. I saw D' Saji but my appetite would go for the italiano. Let try pizz...

Alhamdulillah Allah dah pilih aku dan isteri ke Mekah tahun ni. Kami bertolak pada kapal KT60 pada pukul 1.30 pagi,  25hb September. Kami bertolak awal kesana dalam suasana hujan yang renyai-renyai. Ayah mertua, Ubai, Wan, Ikhlas dan Yusuf turut sama menhantar kami berdua. Perasaan aku biasa sahaja sebab aku memang selalu tinggalkan mereka demi tugas. Tapi wife aky lain sikit. Terpaksa melodrama dgn anak anak. Maklumlah dia yg sgt rapat dgn anak anak..... Aku pun rapat juga tapi contro macho la kan. Kami mendarat di Jeddah pada pukul 5.15 pagi. Penerbangan yg memakan masa lebih dari 7 jam. Alhamdulillah urusan tabung haji memberi kidmat yang sungguh awesome. Memang aku thumbs up gitu. Lebih kurang pukul 12 tengahari baru sampai di hotel dan zohor. Bilik seramai 6 orang dan merekalah rakan2 baru di sini. Wife aku bilik di sebelah. Nak panggil aku kasi coded knock. Yelah...tak boleh main main intai kan. Nanti terjerit pulak orang orang dalam bilik. Semalam dah buat umrah yang bermu...
