meaningful journey
as some would notice, i didnt update my blog coz i was away to perform umrah. yup! finally got the visa last minute, a day b4 we were supposed to go. went back to jb a day earlier coz the flight will be at 1.oopm and we were to depart from changi. leaving hubby was the most difficult thing to do. felt like crying but since mum was around, i cried in my heart.
it was a tiring and exhausting journey. it took us 24 hours to reach madinah from the moment we stepped out of the house. by the time we reached madinah, it was near to subuh prayers so we didnt rest at all. the first shower was heavenly. i must thank god coz my little girl didnt make a fuss at all on the long-haul flight and she behaved so well! i was sneezing the whole time on the flight but the moment i arrived at jeddah, the sneezing and flu was totally gone.
we got to stay for one night only in madinah and 6 nights in mekah. too bad the hotel in mekah wasnt what i expected. it was a bit frustrating the moment i arrived in mekah but after a few days, i got used to it. i was missing hubby so very much that i cried everyday juz thinking about him. i was quiet the whole time and i knew it worried mum and dad but i juz didnt have any mood to talk to anybody at all. luckily i got my little girl with me. she kept me sane. there was this moment where i think god was punishing me coz i kept thinking of going home as soon as possible. never had that kind of feeling b4. the feeling of mega-sadness and emptiness surrounded me. i thot i was going crazy. it was mental-torturing! on the last day b4 we were to depart from mekah, i seek forgiveness from god in front of the kaabah.
we stayed 2 nights in jeddah and by that time, i was calmer and back to my usual self. the first thing i did was to find a bookstore and bought 2 books to keep me occupied. after so many days of having nasi briyani, having mcdonalds was like having a meal with a king. this time, i didnt buy any souvenirs for anybody or for myself. i juz didnt see the need to buy.
the moment i saw hubby, i was sooooooooooo relieved and happy!!
but this time, i vowed to never go anywhere without hubby ever again...
